No doubt; if you can't cast doubt then you are not dealing with science. That's the whole point. Its as if everyone forgot 7th grade science class...oh...wait...or the money has blinded them.
There's been a wholesale attack on the scientific method, and science itself. 400 years of the scientific method was discarded, in a mere few months, for a belief system turned a parareligion.
The Left really exposed themselves during the plandemic. The only science the Left understands is the science of punishment.
The veryy statement “trust the science” exposes this deep misunderstanding. Progressives look to centralized authority so they flock to organizations that claim to represent scientific truth. Since progressives are also attracted to power they tend take over such organizations and purge real scientists in an attempt to create a single truth or so called consensus. Consensus is not a scientific word but a political word instead. Again another deep misunderstanding.
There are majority theories like “the big bang” but they are not a consensus and they are not truth only our best guess based upon the evidence. A consensus requires force like firing and purging scientists that don’t tow the party line (e.g.- climate change).
The basis of conservatism is self reliance. Those who tend to be self reliant are naturally skeptical especially when observations don’t match the claims. The socialist tendency of the left demands thinking collectively. It’s not as important that the object of their focus is true, only that it is a standard many see and follow. A lie is often more appealing than the cold hard truth. Conservative thinking is clearly more in line with scientific methods and leftist ideology leads to self delusion and tragedy.
My biggest memory from the pandemic was being in a grocery store not wearing a mask, and one of the teachers from the elementary school asked me how I thought I could get away with not wearing a mask. I stated that there was no scientific proof that the mask helps. She replied that she was a ‘rule follower’, and if it helped the community what could it hurt! She continued that I was against humanity and the community and I shouldn’t be allowed to enter stores .
After that I began to notice that was the buzz word, ‘a rule follower’.
In conclusion , I have made it my life‘s purpose to not be a rule follower and to question everything.
I did that somewhat before, but now I am extremely discerning , and I do speak up now.
I hope when or if they plan another crisis for this nation that many of us will not be rule followers and will speak up and unabashedly intimidate those who tried to intimidate us last crisis.
There's something about rules, isn't there? I've always thought that good ideas don't need to become rules, because people will act voluntarily. "Rules" are for things like specific dates, measurements, and the like. Rebreathing your own exhaust fumes, though?
I agree. I call myself "The Reluctant Rebel" because I quietly refuse to follow some of "Society's" rules. The only rules I follow are God's Commandments.
I have always questioned things that didn’t make sense to me. Nothing about the pandemic made sense especially when SME were being attacked and censored. The hard part of the pandemic was seeing how many people just became followers. It is like a switch went on and they were programmed robots who all said the same thing. I felt like I was in a different reality than everyone around me. Thankful I started to notice that there were many who felt like I did… they just were not speaking out because they, like me, were freaked out by how easily it was for the government to program them.
Exactly my thoughts as of about March of 2020. My most recurrent thought was “none of this makes sense”. So I never bought into any of it, thank goodness!
Same and that caused me to do a ton of research that made me really start believing that there were a lot of people who either didn’t know what they were talking about or were lying to us 😕
I, too was amazed at how many people jumped on the vaccine bandwagon. I never even went for flu vaccines, ever, somehow I just instinctively knew that vaccines were bad. And then to boot, there’s never been a flu vaccine that has ever hit the mark on the flu, ever! So I can’t imagine why anyone would take it. I guess it’s like insurance, you have to buy house insurance just in case, car insurance just in case etc., so I think that’s why people did the vaccine. But for moi, this is different because it’s going into your body and that just seemed so invasive to me.
The sad part was that my older siblings fell for this, defended this, were super defensive over this, and it changed their whole being. So the vaccine not only killed what was going on inside in small bits and pieces with harm, but more than physically, it mentally took over their brains, as it did with most hating left leaning people. The vaccine pricked the innermost vile spot in the humans emotional cortex and this hate -condition brought it to the forefront to divide one sect of the population from another. That’s what the vaccine really did. It brought out hate, blind hate to any truth.
It is sad. One common theme for me was that people chose fear ovef believing in God. God made each of us and he dowsn't make mistakes. The jab was gene theraphy and it said it right on their website. Gene theraphy changes your DNA. DNA that God gave you. That was a hard no for me.
And I’m hated for it! I’m ridiculed everyday for my questioning! I do not care one bit what anyone thinks of me! I’m only standing in the gap for my dumb two Sons who are in their 40’s so sound asleep and my 3 Grandsons!! My Grandson at 9 understood that Trump was put down in his school and that Biden wasn’t real!! It had to happen this way though! We volunteered to be here right now to help the dummies! As hard as a job as it is, someone has to stay patient.
Susan, hang in there. I have a theory and some people would call me a nutcase, but I do think that God has only come into the hearts that are open to understanding and learning. So maybe your family will get there, mine won’t they’re in their 80s now , and are dug in. 20 years ago they went to church, abortion was bad, they would’ve never agreed with illegal immigration or transgender but now the influencers have got to them. Evil does exist and maybe it’s even the devil but more than likely it’s just a group of political hacks that think they know better than we do and they want to make sure that people stay in line and do what they say.
We tried to keep life as "normal" as we could for our son (grown with disabilities). I called the restaurants we frequented and explained that my son couldn't wear a mask. I kept the numbers with manager names in my phone. I always called ahead, so they knew he was coming. There are a few places that would not work with us, and we will never again go to those places. Sadly, my mom was one of the ones who wouldn't work with us. She didn't see my son for 1 1/2 years, and only then because she was dying (she said covid would be a blessing, I guess she could have died quicker)
We used to go to a certain church and they all stood to pledge to the American flag. We did not do that. One time that this happened, the little girl of about seven who liked to sit with us told us we had to stand. "It's a rule," she said.
Now, the Christian Church with a capital 'C' is instituted, ordained of God. I perhaps would have pledged to the Christian Flag if the words were right. But I would make no secular profession in a space which once upon a time was referred to as being God's House, and with good reason. I am old Reformation reform church believer. And so when it comes to sanctuaries and professions of faith, I take Sola Scriptura seriously ... and more so than most these days.
Now rules? And the woman's confession that 'she was a rule follower.' Maybe a little query time was in order. Like, "Is that any old rule follower? Even bad rule follower? All rules without without discrimination follower? Abdication of moral scrutiny rule follower? Just what kind of rule follower are you?"
We should inquire of politicians in that kind same fashion. And when one so does, my experience has been that the politicians suddenly run speechless. And then next comes the hemming and hawing, then the fumbling, mumbling and reaching, and in the terminal phase a certain linguistic infertility settles over the room punctuated by fits of vacuous eye contact drift signifying, "Boy, I wish I were someplace else right now."
daverkb - I like those questions you suggested. Questioning as a response in a sticky situation is really smart. Plus, everyone involved might learn something.
Asking questions can be like a lance which strikes to the quick through the heart. And indeed, just listing those questions was the heartland of the entire post. And the rest of the post was either lead up or exposition.
You will notice that each framed question is both a premise of sorts but also an unstated exposition lodged within the question itself. And the audience intuitively understands this and what the necessary deduction might be ... more or less. Audiences are very quick to catch on if the speaker is artfully skilled in how he structures his thoughts
The trick is that the one who posits the questions must understand the entire nature of the ecosystem in which he operates and how the system by mechanics functions. Indeed, understanding the entire ecosystem is Lawyer Childer's greatest strength. And this is what makes his work in the C & C such a spell-binding read. And day after day after day.
We have sent our kids to school to be indoctrinated, training. We line them up to go anywhere We line line up their thoughts and don’t allow them to critically analyze any of their own Every class in HS is taken for the greater good even though a 1/4 of the kids can’t do algebra but no matter, those in charge ignore that fact knowing full well some are not equipped mentally to take those. We don’t care to find their sweet spot; a hands-on Skilled course? Hélas, we just assume everybody is going to come out stamped, ”Rule Follower #…..”, same box, not unlike Cheetiosright off the factory line. That’s why she’s told you it’s a rule. Both my daughter and my son were the only ones in their respective US gov Classes who were conservative. They would argue with the rest of the class on topics. It’s easy to go with the flow and it’s easy to be with the majority thought. In 08 in a tiny town in NV, where we lived l, the town was 90% conservative and B Obama sent 20-year-olds from the state of WA to come into the school and talk to the US gov classes about voting and caucusing . They were very influential and the malleable students fell as if thunderstruck. To be fair, kids from a small town had never seen these types who were so forceful & full of themselves. They invited them for pizza and showed them how to caucus for the Dems and they lines up to vote D in the presidential election. You really have to talk to your kids, eat dinner at the table with your kids, talk about current events and talk about why events are impactful to your family, and more importantly how the family is the most important in life besides God. I just don’t think enough people talk to their kids. I asked kids a month ago before school let out how many of you eat dinner with your parents at a table, none raised their hand, most were eating in their bedrooms. This is a very disturbing society in which we live.
The Long March through the Institutions ... Gramsci
And kids get taught unwittingly that the end justifies the means under the cover that the good of the collective justifies the means. It's a dirty vicious system, immoral and only beneficial for the top feeders.
My mother was sick beginning March 1, 2020. I was helping her out and at the store just about every day for something or another. I was at the store before the masks became a thing and after they became a thing. It was the best possible "experiment". One day they aren't and the next you're an asshole if you don't wear one. We only ever wore them at hospital appts. because they were required. She could not understand a thing the doc was saying because she depends on reading lips due to very poor hearing. It was absurd.
Adding: my mother has never had COVID and is 92 now. She was incorrectly diagnosed (just the worst doctor ever) and ended up with a fistula from very bad diverticulitis. Her large intestine removed three months later and now she wears an ileostomy. The entire experience has so jaded me. Lastly, I have a PA friend who quit during COVID because of the masks. She said, every single one of us knows they wouldn't work and the docs kept pushing it. That was enough for me to distrust all of them. Now she volunteers at a clinic.
"Trust THE Science." - key word there is the article "the." Like "The" Bible. "The" Science is a religion for the the Left, and the vaxxes are their sacrament! It would be like removing the Eucharist from the Mass, if the Left were to lose their vaxxes.
Fuhrer Fauci will probably claim he's got some debilitating disease or condition which prevents him from standing trial. Or something like that. And skate Scott free.
As it may be, I have given the Covid Terrorism thing a lot of thought.
1) One obstacle to covid truth is that a lot of political figure would have to admit a lot of things like that they were stupid and got duped, or in some cases acted cowardly by not stating what they knew. Others may have feared for their lives. And indeed we saw some resistor, particularly some heads of African states suffer some queer misfortune which ended in their termination.
2) All politicians instinctively knew that getting in front of the fear infected covid cattle stamped and speaking the truth would end up in being trampled over and flattened like blades of grass. And some, if they had the truth, would have had to confess to cowardliness. Most 'pragmatic' politicians would rather that the entire thing would just disappear down the memory hole.
3) If a politician had say a MAGA-like agenda, such a politician would not want to have an even greater agenda (like the worst criminality in human history) distract and derail his own immediacy of focus, and blow up his agenda by a colossal upstaging. Politicians like all eyes glued to what they are doing.
Early on (the beginning or middle of April 2020), I read an article by Jeffrey Tucker in AIER that posted Donald Henderson (a world renowned epidemiologist) et al.’s paper on their analysis of potential measures to be taken during a pandemic. Vaccination, isolation/social distancing of non-vulnerable populations and masks were all deemed to be at best useless or at worst harmful. That paper had been published in the early/mid 2000s (2004 or 2005 maybe?) and helped me put my finger on what had been bothering me about the extremist pandemic measures and also gave me ammunition to counter the narratives (not that most people believed me but it gave me firmer ground to stand on).
Then Geert van den Bossche also confirmed the idea about no vaccines during a pandemic a few months later.
7th grade? That was so long ago that even MY ELDERS almost all couldn't remember it. Funny how the USED, US Education Dept, made US believe that the education our Great and Grand parents received was so little, uninformed, and stupid in science. That STARTED in the sixties too! Thankfully I did learn it in the 7th grade!
Our educational system, before it went federal, was the envy of the world. Proficiency in core subjects was number one by a long shot to number 2 on the list.
I have experience that it started declining way before 1980. I graduated high school in 1969 (I know. I’m old.) My younger brother graduated in 1973. There was a marked difference in the quality of our education. I got a teaching degree in 1976. By then things were rapidly going downhill with situational ethics and values clarification. I had my first child in 1981. We chose to homeschool all our kids to make sure they were actually educated. But. I wish I had also known about vaccines at the time but I did not know the lies in my chosen profession at the time (I was a science teacher from a medical family….) Education started declining in the mid to late 60’s. Steamrolled from the 80’s.
My favorites on the subject are Albert Jay Knock, The Theory of Education in the United States delivered in the Rotunda as a lecture series at UVA, Charlottesville. And Charlotte Iserbyt and all of what she had to say about the education wreck in the United States. Both amazingly or not so amazingly, said much the same thing but in difference context. I had always seen the general declination going on, but not so much the hidden hand behind it all. Now both of us, I presume, see much more. So much has been laid bare, especially since President DJT's second administration.
In the 1950's, my childhood, things were being eroded. That early. It's a damned shame.
If memory serves, it was over a decade ago that one of the heads of a major scientific journal said the "science" has been corrupted. Its been going on far longer than a few years - it just became much more flagrant the past few years....
JFK created money based on silver controlled by the government. Money was issued as silver certificates printed on the dollars. I remember them as a kid.
Yes - and when/if this day comes, we need to celebrate it every year thereafter to remind us of the freedom we have gained from the enslavement of burdensome taxation.
I personally think that is why Trump called the day he signed the tariff EOs “Liberation Day” - he intends to replace the US tax system with tariffs. If it works, it will be well forth celebrating Liberation Day every April 2nd! 👏
I hope you're suggesting that we bomb them out of existence and I hope they will have moved their offices to the Capitol where our illustrious "representatives" spend their time accepting bribes and insider trading. That just might improve this country more than we could imagine! Two birds with one bomb. Ah, drop a few more, just to be sure!
Because he was tied to Epstein and she knew it. She’s no better or she wouldn’t have continued with their ‘Foundation’ and would’ve come clean with everything she knows
My theory is that Gate's wife got in over her head in a time when nobody could really see it clearly. After all, the lies and narratives worked pretty well for a very long time. And people are believers and want to be believers in all kinds of things, like progress for instance. And if the whole world is telling everyone that your about to be husband is a genius and one of the smartest and richest guys in the world. Well?
My theory is that the onion got peeled away over the years a little bit at a time. And with enough onion peeling over long enough time, and there comes a day when one just can't stomach anymore. Melinda Gates is a very smart women and she was bound to eventually 'find out' what was hidden on the other side of the mountain out of sight. And Gates really is pretty much a demonic dark creature. And if I were Melinda, I couldn't take it 'no more' either. And then there is the children.
I've seen stuff that's not quite right, not honest, etc. work on very rich people over time. Most often, things catch up with them over time. And it's in a rotten quality of life. And then all the tinsel and gilt in the world is of no avail.
My wife in the next room just asked me who I was writing to. I said, "Kittynana." And punctuated that with the letting out of a Giant Meow!
She’s still participating in their ‘foundation’ so I don’t buy this BS that she slowly found out what a horrible person he is. She’s up to her neck in it all as well
Oh, there is one alright, but to administer it would require the emergence of an altruistic, terminally ill marksman with nothing left to lose-someone like, say, Jack Ruby...
Imagine the impact of a simple pamphlet that was handed out to kids and adults, (like the Constitution), that was called SIMPLE SCIENCE. It would only need 1 single page, filled front and back with the simple phrase: 1. TO DRAIN THE SWAMP, FOLLOW THE MONEY!!
" Other attending organizations, like the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, whined about their new inability to unmute their microphones without being called on."
THAT cracked me up. How DARE you not let us interrupt the adults when they are speaking! We have talking points to scream at you!
I'm also concerned about the harm and death rate here in the USA caused by the HPV Gardisil and countless other "safe and effective" vaccines. I believe that if you had the collective power of every family that has had a vaccine related incident or death, you would have the power to "drain the swamp" in minutes! Determine how to mobilize that collective power, Gates et all would vanish. Jeff is doing great work!!
HPV Gardisil has rendered many girls infertile at the ripe old age of 12-14, by plunging them into early menopause. It has killed many, as well. It has even killed young men— and all for a cancer that never appears until middle age and is quite curable.
KC, I am so sorry to hear about your daughters. I have 4 daughters that I did now allow the vaxx for. We have many friends suffering from the same plight as you. I do all I can physically, financially and emotionally to bring knowledge of this abomination to as many families as I can.
What a success DOGE was. Remember when we were all going to get like a $5k dollar check because of all the savings? What were the actual realized savings? Musk and company did get all of our data, though, so that is good!
Well, they use "magat" for Trump supporters and "taco" for Trump...surely amongst all of the liberals are a few in advertising, who could think of something more intelligent...🤣🤣🤣
I watched a bit of the live coverage - but happened into it while someone was talking who seemed to be a vax apologist and didn’t have time to hear the rebuttal. Will go back and listen for some of these great statements Jeff mentioned!
The really frustrating thing is they didn’t say they’re canceling vaccines, they said they’re investigating the vaccines more as should have been done from the start. Anyone who wants to take their kid to a pediatrician and get them shot 72 times can still do so. Again I don’t care if they leave and still recommend all the dang vaccines, all I want is the right to refuse without being lectured or treated like a 2nd class idiot or being denied basic rights (like attending school or keeping my job). It’s astounding to me that the party who used to be associated with granola and communes has come to this. It also points as Jeff said to vaccines being about power and money, NOT public health.
They are worried that all they did to hurt our children is going to come to light. I would suggest they worry more about what God is going to do to them as HE sees all.
That’s such a great comment; one day they aren’t and the next you’re an asshole. That was so true. You know what I really noticed was that people who were very meek or not even so much meek as those who were afraid to ever say something maybe to you, but had been holding back for a long time, this gave them the impetus to be a true shit. Behind those masks, the most timid, who felt that they had gone throughout life being afraid to say anything became the most bold and the most belligerent, ugliest people ever. That truly was the mask of obnoxious behavior. They were so angry when they had to take those masks off because their personality had to crawl back into the dirty nasty hole that it once lived in.
You should read any mainstream press and see all the various cancers caused by ______ (pick your lifestyle choice that didn't cause cancer before). The symptoms MATCH the covid shot outcomes/causes of death, but by-golly, it's ANYTHING BUT the "vaccines"/covid shot.
—“— the new A.C.I.P. chair immediately sought to cast doubt on the safety and effectiveness of childhood vaccines”
Oh God forbid anyone cast DOUBT!! 😱 Good heavens! 🙄 We must blindly keep our faith in the vaccines no matter what 🙄🙄🙄
No doubt; if you can't cast doubt then you are not dealing with science. That's the whole point. Its as if everyone forgot 7th grade science class...oh...wait...or the money has blinded them.

I was always a rule follower until the plandemic - I’m naturally a people pleaser. Those days are over.
Same. I’m not following rules that don’t make sense and that are designed to harm.
I love that, Kim!
The sheep would reBLEAT but us freedom fighters are now too connected for authorities to make any of these mandates enforceable.
But, again, the peeps would reSHEEP. I've seen nothing to disprove otherwise.

Don't worry about other people. They probably are not as smart as you are.
LOL - And that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Susan, hang in there. I have a theory and some people would call me a nutcase, but I do think that God has only come into the hearts that are open to understanding and learning.

I joke about not always following the rules...
We had restaurants that insisted customers wear their masks until they sat down at a table... "then, you can take off your mask..." What idiocy!
It was so stupid 🙄
I suspect that most of us on C&C were never really blind “rule followers” anyway. The very term sort of denies critical thinking.
Exactly
We used to go to a certain church and they all stood to pledge to the American flag. We did not do that. One time that this happened, the little girl of about seven who liked to sit with us told us we had to stand. "It's a rule," she said.

We have sent our kids to school to be indoctrinated, training.

We don’t care to find their sweet spot; a hands-on Skilled course? Hélas, we just assume everybody is going to come out stamped, ”Rule Follower #…..”, same box, not unlike Cheetiosright off the factory line. That’s why she’s told you it’s a rule. Both my daughter and my son were the only ones in their respective US gov Classes who were conservative. They would argue with the rest of the class on topics. It’s easy to go with the flow and it’s easy to be with the majority thought. In 08 in a tiny town in NV, where we lived l, the town was 90% conservative and B Obama sent 20-year-olds from the state of WA to come into the school and talk to the US gov classes about voting and caucusing . They were very influential and the malleable students fell as if thunderstruck. To be fair, kids from a small town had never seen these types who were so forceful & full of themselves. They invited them for pizza and showed them how to caucus for the Dems and they lines up to vote D in the presidential election. You really have to talk to your kids, eat dinner at the table with your kids, talk about current events and talk about why events are impactful to your family, and more importantly how the family is the most important in life besides God. I just don’t think enough people talk to their kids. I asked kids a month ago before school let out how many of you eat dinner with your parents at a table, none raised their hand, most were eating in their bedrooms. This is a very disturbing society in which we live.
The Long March through the Institutions ... Gramsci
And kids get taught unwittingly that the end justifies the means under the cover that the good of the collective justifies the means. It's a dirty vicious system, immoral and only beneficial for the top feeders.
One of my favoite sayings has always been .."Rules were made to be broken!"
Probably my very favorite! 😉
Right there with ya Julie!!
My mother was sick beginning March 1, 2020. I was helping her out and at the store just about every day for something or another. I was at the store before the masks became a thing and after they became a thing. It was the best possible "experiment". One day they aren't and the next you're an asshole if you don't wear one. We only ever wore them at hospital appts. because they were required. She could not understand a thing the doc was saying because she depends on reading lips due to very poor hearing. It was absurd.
Adding: my mother has never had COVID and is 92 now. She was incorrectly diagnosed (just the worst doctor ever) and ended up with a fistula from very bad diverticulitis. Her large intestine removed three months later and now she wears an ileostomy. The entire experience has so jaded me. Lastly, I have a PA friend who quit during COVID because of the masks. She said, every single one of us knows they wouldn't work and the docs kept pushing it. That was enough for me to distrust all of them. Now she volunteers at a clinic.
"Trust THE Science." - key word there is the article "the." Like "The" Bible. "The" Science is a religion for the the Left, and the vaxxes are their sacrament! It would be like removing the Eucharist from the Mass, if the Left were to lose their vaxxes.
You forgot the trademark on The Science™, de Fuhrer Fauci's lawyers will be contacting you shortly...
Fuhrer Fauci must be soiling his britches right about now.
Fuhrer Fauci will probably claim he's got some debilitating disease or condition which prevents him from standing trial. Or something like that. And skate Scott free.
We could skip the trial and go straight to the noose ;)
Right! And justice is suppose to be swift.
As it may be, I have given the Covid Terrorism thing a lot of thought.
1) One obstacle to covid truth is that a lot of political figure would have to admit a lot of things like that they were stupid and got duped, or in some cases acted cowardly by not stating what they knew. Others may have feared for their lives. And indeed we saw some resistor, particularly some heads of African states suffer some queer misfortune which ended in their termination.
2) All politicians instinctively knew that getting in front of the fear infected covid cattle stamped and speaking the truth would end up in being trampled over and flattened like blades of grass. And some, if they had the truth, would have had to confess to cowardliness. Most 'pragmatic' politicians would rather that the entire thing would just disappear down the memory hole.
3) If a politician had say a MAGA-like agenda, such a politician would not want to have an even greater agenda (like the worst criminality in human history) distract and derail his own immediacy of focus, and blow up his agenda by a colossal upstaging. Politicians like all eyes glued to what they are doing.
Well stated!
Perfect!
Haha.
Lol 😆
It’s a death cult, and the damaged child is the sacrifice.
So sad and true. Worship fetal and childhood murder. Satan truly squirms among us.
100%. Well said, and great analogy!
$CIENCE or SCIENCE? ;-)

I’m with the seventh grade science that so many seem to have forgotten. Including natural immunity.
And high-school biology where we learned you should NEVER vaccinate into a pandemic.
Early on (the beginning or middle of April 2020), I read an article by Jeffrey Tucker in AIER that posted Donald Henderson (a world renowned epidemiologist) et al.’s paper on their analysis of potential measures to be taken during a pandemic. Vaccination, isolation/social distancing of non-vulnerable populations and masks were all deemed to be at best useless or at worst harmful. That paper had been published in the early/mid 2000s (2004 or 2005 maybe?) and helped me put my finger on what had been bothering me about the extremist pandemic measures and also gave me ammunition to counter the narratives (not that most people believed me but it gave me firmer ground to stand on).
Then Geert van den Bossche also confirmed the idea about no vaccines during a pandemic a few months later.
I remember that. He was one of the first to warn us.
Yes, same here.
A tenet of self-reliance is understanding that there are things you do not know and accounting therefor.
I would go a step further and say that's truly the only way to be self-aware.
7th grade? That was so long ago that even MY ELDERS almost all couldn't remember it. Funny how the USED, US Education Dept, made US believe that the education our Great and Grand parents received was so little, uninformed, and stupid in science. That STARTED in the sixties too! Thankfully I did learn it in the 7th grade!
Our educational system, before it went federal, was the envy of the world. Proficiency in core subjects was number one by a long shot to number 2 on the list.
1979 - Dept of Education formed.
1980 - proficiency immediately started declining.
2025 - we're 36th in the world.
Nuff said. But people do love their gooberment.
Don’t forget the teachers union, started at approximately the same time.
Good point
I have experience that it started declining way before 1980. I graduated high school in 1969 (I know. I’m old.) My younger brother graduated in 1973. There was a marked difference in the quality of our education. I got a teaching degree in 1976. By then things were rapidly going downhill with situational ethics and values clarification. I had my first child in 1981. We chose to homeschool all our kids to make sure they were actually educated. But. I wish I had also known about vaccines at the time but I did not know the lies in my chosen profession at the time (I was a science teacher from a medical family….) Education started declining in the mid to late 60’s. Steamrolled from the 80’s.
My favorites on the subject are Albert Jay Knock, The Theory of Education in the United States delivered in the Rotunda as a lecture series at UVA, Charlottesville. And Charlotte Iserbyt and all of what she had to say about the education wreck in the United States. Both amazingly or not so amazingly, said much the same thing but in difference context. I had always seen the general declination going on, but not so much the hidden hand behind it all. Now both of us, I presume, see much more. So much has been laid bare, especially since President DJT's second administration.
In the 1950's, my childhood, things were being eroded. That early. It's a damned shame.
Unfortunately, people do love their POWER.
If memory serves, it was over a decade ago that one of the heads of a major scientific journal said the "science" has been corrupted. Its been going on far longer than a few years - it just became much more flagrant the past few years....
Excellent comment! Agree wholeheartedly!
These are the same people who say there's no proof of God.
The man with the highest IQ just said that Jesus is God. This came out a few days ago.

Thank you for sharing
Exactly!!
I want to know when the IRS will be dismantled.
Only after the Federal Reserve System.
And that would be a tall order!
You would be taking on the world globalists.
Taking on The Fed was linked to why JFK was murdered, among other theories.
Indeed. Like Lincoln.
JFK created money based on silver controlled by the government. Money was issued as silver certificates printed on the dollars. I remember them as a kid.
LBJ killed them.
I vote IRS first, Fed, nearly simultaneously.
Yes - and when/if this day comes, we need to celebrate it every year thereafter to remind us of the freedom we have gained from the enslavement of burdensome taxation.
I personally think that is why Trump called the day he signed the tariff EOs “Liberation Day” - he intends to replace the US tax system with tariffs. If it works, it will be well forth celebrating Liberation Day every April 2nd! 👏
Hopefully that is coming up on the agenda too!! 🙏
I am SO READY for that day!
Another use for those expensive B-2 bombers.
I hope you're suggesting that we bomb them out of existence and I hope they will have moved their offices to the Capitol where our illustrious "representatives" spend their time accepting bribes and insider trading. That just might improve this country more than we could imagine! Two birds with one bomb. Ah, drop a few more, just to be sure!
Hopefully after the midterm elections 💯
If only there were a vaccine to use against Bill Gates, a walking human virus.
It’s BILLY (because he’s a petulant child and if you watch him long enough, you’ll see it), (FROM THE) Gates (OF HELL).
I fixed it for ya. 😜
When I hear about gates I think of gallows. He needs to be brought to justice.
A walking pedo, too.
@Cousin- his wife left him abruptly for a reason. I'd love to know that reason.
Because he was tied to Epstein and she knew it. She’s no better or she wouldn’t have continued with their ‘Foundation’ and would’ve come clean with everything she knows
She wasn't going to give up her claim to all that money.
You would not either ... most likely. No one wants to live in abject poverty.
She is no better?? That’s hyperbole.
Then why hasn’t she come forward with what she knows?
My theory is that Gate's wife got in over her head in a time when nobody could really see it clearly. After all, the lies and narratives worked pretty well for a very long time. And people are believers and want to be believers in all kinds of things, like progress for instance. And if the whole world is telling everyone that your about to be husband is a genius and one of the smartest and richest guys in the world. Well?
My theory is that the onion got peeled away over the years a little bit at a time. And with enough onion peeling over long enough time, and there comes a day when one just can't stomach anymore. Melinda Gates is a very smart women and she was bound to eventually 'find out' what was hidden on the other side of the mountain out of sight. And Gates really is pretty much a demonic dark creature. And if I were Melinda, I couldn't take it 'no more' either. And then there is the children.
@Dave- sounds quite plausible.
I've seen stuff that's not quite right, not honest, etc. work on very rich people over time. Most often, things catch up with them over time. And it's in a rotten quality of life. And then all the tinsel and gilt in the world is of no avail.
My wife in the next room just asked me who I was writing to. I said, "Kittynana." And punctuated that with the letting out of a Giant Meow!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
She’s still participating in their ‘foundation’ so I don’t buy this BS that she slowly found out what a horrible person he is. She’s up to her neck in it all as well
Just like the Queen song 'Another one bites the dust ...
Another theory bites dust!
I read that he was seeing another woman. But.......
Assuming his first wife is a woman.
☝🏼😏
@Shayne- on Epstein's island? J/S
Yes did go there too.
Omg. Brilliant. Too bad he wasn’t aborted.
Butterfly- but then we wouldn't be chatting on our computers.
Do we truly know his history? ;-)
@Eloise- I suppose if we literally turned over some rocks we'd find something.
Oh, there is one alright, but to administer it would require the emergence of an altruistic, terminally ill marksman with nothing left to lose-someone like, say, Jack Ruby...
Follow the money. 💰💰💰 That noise was the nasty grifter pigs squealing that their trough of cash was empty and not likely to be refilled.
Now I’m dreaming of those pigs jumping off a cliff into the sea! It’s happened before so 🤞🏻
Imagine the impact of a simple pamphlet that was handed out to kids and adults, (like the Constitution), that was called SIMPLE SCIENCE. It would only need 1 single page, filled front and back with the simple phrase: 1. TO DRAIN THE SWAMP, FOLLOW THE MONEY!!
Always listen to those that squeal loudest.
Well said.
" Other attending organizations, like the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, whined about their new inability to unmute their microphones without being called on."
THAT cracked me up. How DARE you not let us interrupt the adults when they are speaking! We have talking points to scream at you!
I know 😂I bet they were just writhing in their seats 😂
I expect that they are worried about all the pregnant women who lost their babies because they said it was safe to get the jab.
$8 billion 💸not going to GAVI ❗️
What will the TDS casualties shriek❓
They’re melting down and couldn’t do better than “Muskrat” over DOGE.
Truly, the left can’t meme and their comedians are commissars enforcing the trance of self protective narrative narcosis.
Sad. 🙏🙏for those in need
And your enemies
For in Truth we have none
Hmm. Perhaps GAVI could grovel before some other countries to make up the difference if the funding is an issue.
He’s persona non grata in most of India and parts of Africa for killing off so many kids with that awful HPV Gardisil vaccine.
I'm also concerned about the harm and death rate here in the USA caused by the HPV Gardisil and countless other "safe and effective" vaccines. I believe that if you had the collective power of every family that has had a vaccine related incident or death, you would have the power to "drain the swamp" in minutes! Determine how to mobilize that collective power, Gates et all would vanish. Jeff is doing great work!!
HPV Gardisil has rendered many girls infertile at the ripe old age of 12-14, by plunging them into early menopause. It has killed many, as well. It has even killed young men— and all for a cancer that never appears until middle age and is quite curable.
Follow the
money.
KC, I am so sorry to hear about your daughters. I have 4 daughters that I did now allow the vaxx for. We have many friends suffering from the same plight as you. I do all I can physically, financially and emotionally to bring knowledge of this abomination to as many families as I can.
Not my daughters! I didn’t get them that awful vax. I said, “Many girls”, not
mine. 😜
I apologizer mis reading your text. I read my instead of many
No biggie at all!! That’s what I figured.
Yes, he's as welcome as the Clintons in Haiti.
After everything Trump has extracted from other countries, there's likely not much left in the bank for GAVI.
I’m fairly sure that our morons-in-charge in Australia will float them some more of our cash 🙄
What a success DOGE was. Remember when we were all going to get like a $5k dollar check because of all the savings? What were the actual realized savings? Musk and company did get all of our data, though, so that is good!
Someone proposed that. I didn't see where it was ever actually planned, though.
Well, they use "magat" for Trump supporters and "taco" for Trump...surely amongst all of the liberals are a few in advertising, who could think of something more intelligent...🤣🤣🤣
Oh to be fly on the wall in that room.
I watched a bit of the live coverage - but happened into it while someone was talking who seemed to be a vax apologist and didn’t have time to hear the rebuttal. Will go back and listen for some of these great statements Jeff mentioned!
The really frustrating thing is they didn’t say they’re canceling vaccines, they said they’re investigating the vaccines more as should have been done from the start. Anyone who wants to take their kid to a pediatrician and get them shot 72 times can still do so. Again I don’t care if they leave and still recommend all the dang vaccines, all I want is the right to refuse without being lectured or treated like a 2nd class idiot or being denied basic rights (like attending school or keeping my job). It’s astounding to me that the party who used to be associated with granola and communes has come to this. It also points as Jeff said to vaccines being about power and money, NOT public health.
Power money murder maiming infertility Moloch
They are worried that all they did to hurt our children is going to come to light. I would suggest they worry more about what God is going to do to them as HE sees all.
They "cast" doubt. As one "casts" a spell.
I never got the shots for any of my 54 children.
Are you trying to compete with Elon? Or Genghis Khan? 😆
Elon? Genghis? Those amateurs!
That’s such a great comment; one day they aren’t and the next you’re an asshole. That was so true. You know what I really noticed was that people who were very meek or not even so much meek as those who were afraid to ever say something maybe to you, but had been holding back for a long time, this gave them the impetus to be a true shit. Behind those masks, the most timid, who felt that they had gone throughout life being afraid to say anything became the most bold and the most belligerent, ugliest people ever. That truly was the mask of obnoxious behavior. They were so angry when they had to take those masks off because their personality had to crawl back into the dirty nasty hole that it once lived in.
You should read any mainstream press and see all the various cancers caused by ______ (pick your lifestyle choice that didn't cause cancer before). The symptoms MATCH the covid shot outcomes/causes of death, but by-golly, it's ANYTHING BUT the "vaccines"/covid shot.
Yes I’ve seen the headlines. It’s always anything but the shot 😕
