A giant roundup: Claudine Gay story bears more fruits; SADS airline cluster; court dumps new Epstein docs; Florida smashes jab narrative; Trump appeals Colorado; scary news from Space; and lots more.
I have as much confidence in anything of real significance being levied against any of Epstein’s compadres as I do with the medical cartel plandemic conspirators….which is to say none at all. I understand that the scuzzball Fauci will be making an appearance to face yet more “tough questions” from Senate members in February. Said scuzzball, having had months to construct new meanings for: vaccine, vaccine injury, death, inoculation, gain of function, release, bat, beagle, you, me, and they should be at his lying ass best. Keep your peepers peeled for moderate to severe nose growth. It’s a tell. (Would someone - preferably several bodyguards - PLEASE escort Dr. David Martin to this makeshift inquisition? We might have this wrapped up before lunch). Who knows, maybe this time they'll be handing out backbones at the front door. Not holding my breath.
Agree that no one will be held accountable, as we have seen over and over. The despicable and demonic Sackler family? No jail. Merck execs killing people with Vioxx? No jail. People fruitlessness pining for Nuremburg 2.0 will yet again be disappointed.
However, we have made huge strides in the court of public opinion. Everyone knows who Epstein is and the idea he killed himself is openly ridiculed. The notion that our leaders are compromised perverts, slaves to the US and foreign intelligence services went from insane Alex Jones' ravings to being widely believed. Public Health and Pharma are now ignored as shown by the crash in vaccine uptake despite constant fear-mongering.
It's not what we hoped for, but it's better than nothing and a step in the right direction. These people lose their power when they are openly mocked as lying SOBs rather than taken seriously.
“The notion that our leaders are compromised perverts”
Speaking of which, I just saw a giant sign in somebody’s lawn on the way to my run this morning. The sign said “Our politicians are pedophiles.” I was floored that someone would make and display such a sign!
🙌 🙌 Maybe courage is finally crawling out from under the rock of 2020 and showings its muscles! When most of America will stand up and make a stand and speak truth we will have succeeded in saving America from those pedophiles.
FYI - If you try to type the word pedophile on your devices you will get ZERO spelling “suggestions”. It’s not accidental. There are specific words they left out on purpose. Why? Good question. But I think we already know the answer.
They also don't "suggest" words like s***, f***, c*** and assorted other "four-letter words". My guess would be that pedo is also on the "naughty words list", rather than going for a conspiracy.
Well, "poop" and "boobs" are also legit words (at least in colloquial usage), but my phone doesn't suggest them - I presume because it only default to "polite" words lest it offend someone.
Surely, there is a great reveal in process, albeit piecemeal and at a snails pace. With that, it's easy to confuse "activity" with "accomplishment." Nuremberg trials were a dog and pony show. (24 total, wasn't it?) The U.S. employed/recruited/saved around 1,600 Nazi scientists in order to stay ahead of Russia. Operation Paperclip. https://www.history.com/news/what-was-operation-paperclip
German ingenuity took us to infinity and beyond.
If we could round up even a handful of the most egregious elements comprising the plandemic cartel and suffer them the same fate.....well, I guess that would have to suffice. Interestingly, a few of those Nazi's on trial committed suicide. A pittance compared to the mayhem. I'm all for it.
It likely was in the history books we geezers used ... but was woke'd out in a purge of hurtful, unpleasant and potentially rayciss facts sometime during the past two decades.
Well I hated history back in the day, so if it was taught I probably missed it. It wasn't til my daughter's interest in history from the time she was young, that then piqued my interest that I really started digging into it.
Did you know about the trans movement in Weimar Germany? Did you know what a cesspool had Berlin become? It was home to nearly 80 homosexual bars and as many as 30 or so lesbian bars. Drugs, prostitution, transvestites, child sex trafficking. It also became the home of The Institute for Sexual Research, the first "trans clinic" where the first transsexual mutilation surgery took place.
When the Third Reich came into power, they put an end to all of it -- and hard. They took the Institute's books depicting all of it -- and burned them.
Even less accountability for the war criminals from WW2's Imperial Japan. The Allies signed a peace treaty in San Francisco giving them a free pass on POW abuse from slave labor for zaibatsus to the despicable human biowarfare medical experiments on POWs at Unit 731 at Mukden, China. The USA has still not declassified all the documents it holds on Mukden. https://ahrp.org/guests-of-the-emperor-secret-history-of-japans-mukden-pow-camp/
It makes me feel better about all the starving children when I consider the possibility that they are the souls of the evil people in human history reincarnated
The book Empire of Pain about the Sacklers and the start of Pharma advertising with “Pfizer” ( scumbag company for over 100 years) is a page turner. I highly recommend it. The Sacklers are the original “ Teflon”!
The TV series "Dopesick" is pretty good, too. It pretty much chronicles the corrupt deals, payoffs and blackmail between Purdue Pharma and the FDA. The series PainKiller highlights the young, cute drug reps role in conning the doctors to prescribe "their" drugs in exchange for expensive vacation trips and big cash bonuses based on ever-increasing quotas.
My 100% agreement with you Jeff. The strings being pulled in every direction I see are these: 1. Trump gets all the attention hasn't had to "campaign" 2. All the libs need to do is understand the attention he is getting proves to the world they are scared for their lives should he hold office again. 3. The "Epstein" card being played is like thier last hope. All cards played, the end is near for Regime Biden.
Someone on Substack suggested yesterday that Trump is a plant. The Deep State brainwashed liberals to hate everything Trump stood for—even peace, things liberals once stood for. That was Trump’s purpose, according to the theory. He acted as a lightening rod to get liberals to support things like war.
I used to be 100% for Trump, but the jury is still out for me.
On Twitter yesterday the number of people who were posting pics of Biden and Obama saying, you know who isn't on the list. I replied to a few of them and said, yes because they get their supply from Ukraine.
Actually, some of the Sackler family did "suffer" financial repercussions and there is a multi-BILLION dollar settlement "temporarily stayed by a high court judge" that will require the Purdue Pharma corporation to be dismanatled and a new company called Knoa be created with none of the Sacklers involved in its operation or focus. They should be jailed--but that's not happening! https://www.insider.com/sackler-family-where-are-they-now-netflix-painkiller-2023-8
They should all be in prison. They knew exactly what was happening to people's lives but didn't care about anything but keeping OxyContin on the market for as long as possible.
Let's face it: Congressional hearings and "oversight" committees are there only to create the illusion that "something is being done." This us-vs.them theater generates cash flow to both the R and D parties...which is the only reason they do it. If not for that, they frankly wouldn't pretend to care. At most, someone has to "resign" and instead quietly takes a high-paying job at a think tank or favored government contractor.
In the human trafficking oversight committees they regularly say in the reports that the UN is part of the problem. It's unbelievable that they are aware of this and still support the organization.
I recall vividly, having read a few articles in Daily Mail, a year or so ago, of Epstein flight attendants attesting to having had Bill Clinton on their flights to his island.
It seems that the Democrat playbook is strict in how he and Biden respond to any truthful allegations: "it is a lie", "it never happened ", " I was never there"...
In other words, just lie, and do it adamantly and always take the offensive, never be on the defensive to anyone!! Classic sociopath methods and tactics.
I believe all of these "Special Committees" organized by the "uniparty" legislators are simply "political theatre"! No one is ever removed from a post or incarcerated for their misdeeds and crimes against humanity--it truly is a "circus event".
“But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.”
I’m asking for prayers today for our family. My stepdaughter has ovarian cancer and had a complete hysterectomy and bowel resection as the tumor was attached to her bowel in February. She’s had 8 rounds of chemotherapy and now immunotherapy. Her numbers continue to rise. Today she is having a PET SCAN to see if the cancer has spread. She just turned 40. We are concerned of course. She is not a believer and I pray she will come to know Jesus.
Lord, please intervene mightily in this situation. May all see Your power and know Your peace. Please rescue this soul and bring her into Your kingdom so that she experiences forgiveness and peace no matter what happens. Comfort, strengthen, and heal as You see fit. In Jesus’ name.
I take comfort in what the Bible tells us about when we know not how to pray to the Creator God, the Holy Spirit INTERCEDES on our behalf with GROANINGS....words are sometimes superfluous!
Praying for your stepdaughter's healing and conversion. My prayer for 2024 is that this is the year of conversion for a lot of people. I am also praying for your family.
I am sorry your family is facing this. If your stepdaughter is open to alternative treatments please search for the FB group Fenbendazole - cancer support group. The group offers encouraging alternative treatment.
I’m so sorry. My stepsister died of this horrific disease in her late 30’s and suffered greatly. The worst part being no one caught it despite severe issues for over a year. I will add my prayers to yours that she may overcome. In the meantime please consider adding some “non-conventional “ treatments to those she’s getting as it seems as though there’s nothing to lose by trying? There are some really good sites regarding this on substack including but not limited to Veryvirology, Fenbendazole can cure Cancer, and 2nd Smartest Guy in the World. God bless you and yours.
Fenbendazole Can Cure Cancer presents Case Reports of people who have treated their own cancers along with other articles to help understand how fenbendazole works. Previous articles covering other cancers are in the Archives link.
The following Case Report is Metastatic Colon Cancer, Dosage, Time-Frame and is the subheading used to index the article in the archives of this Substack (look for Archives link below).
The following email was received recently. It is cut and pasted below with a few Editor’s comments afterward.
I'm a forty-year old woman in good health who was diagnosed with colon cancer in November 2021. PET scans had shown that the liver was affected as well, which was confirmed by biopsy.
My prognosis was discouraging. I was told the one-year survival rate for my Stage 4 colon cancer was about 10%. The oncologist also said they could not cure me and told me I would have to remain on chemo from now on to keep the cancer in check. After surgery to remove the tumors in January 2022 I started chemotherapy using fluorouracil and capecitabine. Chemotherapy was accompanied by many adverse side effects that really made me sick (fatigue, bruising, hair loss, digestive issues). Most troublesome were mouth sores that made eating painful and difficult. Chemo was ineffective as I had to have another surgery and more chemo was necessary. After two more rounds of chemo but not surgery, the tumors returned and another new growth was seen on the left kidney. That was in April.
I read about fenbendazole and felt that I had nothing to lose. So I started in on May 5, 2022 with 2000 mg a day. About 8 scoops of the powder. I did split it into two 1000 mg doses. Within two weeks I did feel better but I wasn’t sure if it was wishful thinking. I was done with chemo, so now fenben was the only hope for me.
On Sept 9 I had a followup with my oncologist as well as a scan. The cancer was gone!
On Oct 9 I had another scan...cancer is still gone. I feel great and I know it was the fenben. My doctor says maybe the treatments took a longer time than usual to work but sure whatever!
I take 1000 mg per day now and I've never had anything resembling a side effect from fenben. Here's to keeping fingers crossed that my cancer stays away. My family was extremely supportive all the way plus the chemo just made me sick and didn't work. I plan on taking fenben to keep me healthy and cancer-free!
Looking forward to seeing my babies grow!
That's my story, let me know if you need anything else!
Purchase the paste version and mix with glass of water to any dosage you'd require. Lots of literature out there. Maybe swing back through these comments as one single consideration and go to the fenbenzadole.substack.com website. Lots of helpful suggestions there.
Thank you for sharing. I'm passing this info along to a friend battling late stage cancer whose on palliative care now. Like you stated, what has he to lose...but sounds like he might gain much! Thanks again!
We cured Mom’s stage 4, “incurable”, metastatic lung cancer in abt 28 days using a natural product called
by several names, including b l o o d r o o t paste or salve. I got most of mine from TWO FEATHERS HEALING SALVE in AZ. Ask for Robert. 775 324 4889 Very little pain involved. Only
Advil was required 2-3 times over the 28 day period. Follow his directions. He has a great pamphlet with real pics of real people using it and the results.
yes, agree with Pam, nothing left to lose but to give these treatments a try!!!! If more time, praise God, if less time, praise God anyways as absent in the body, present with the Lord, which will be better than this demon infested world.
Barbara, I'm very sorry to hear about your stepdaughter. Would you be willing to share a name that I would add to my prayer list? Praying for her, you & your family. May there be peace in your days.
These scriptures are so important. Words of wisdom from God. As Dr. Lapado said " these shots are the antichrist of all products....That is our connection to God." This is a battle against the forces of evil. We must arm ourselves with the Spirit of The Lord. ✝️🙏❤️
”For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life.“
We were on a flight and a college age kid died on the plane before we took off. He was clean cut and very well groomed. Headed home for a visit. A doctor on board tried to help him but no use. The flight attendant hinted that it was college drug use/overdose.
How many young people are dying from shots but being labeled drug overdoses?
Bravo to the fine, concerned Alachua County moms who shared important information regarding Carlee Simon with the Juneau School Board! They saved the children of Juneau from being indoctrinated with her woke ideology! Well done! I hope there are some Alaskans following C&C who will comment!
Hahaha 😂 Good riddance to Carlee! Hopefully she and all like her are up to date on all and any shots. Also that they all continue to mask up so we see less of their faces. 😄
Yes! I'm in Alaska, very close to Juneau, which is ALREADY A WOKE CITY. It's the state capitol, after all. I'm very surprised that the opinions of the Alachua County moms carried any weight with the Juneau school board, but pleased to learn of it.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Thank you for responding! I always assumed Alaska was conservative but elections were rigged! I hope the person the school board chose will do a great job educating not indoctrinating!
I live in Alaska (Anchorage), and unfortunately our republicans are mostly uni party members. Like Dana, I’m surprised Juneau rejected her, but happy she is not poisoning minds of Alaska children.
Why are there so many libs in Alaska? I’ve never been there but assumed that because it’s separated from the mainland that the people would be independent thinkers, hard workers, and resourceful, none of which characterize the left. (We hope to take a cruise there this summer. My son said it’s the most beautiful place he’s ever been!)
Julie, a belated answer: Why are there so many libs in Alaska? Because the primary occupation is NOT scraping a living off the land, but working for the government! The bigger the government gets, the LEFTER the state becomes. Then when they retire - Forest Service, teachers, city employees - then they run for public office to "give back" to their communities!
Everyone needs to spend part of their life getting their hands "dirty" with real work.
One other question: when is the best month to take a cruise to Alaska and does it make a difference if you go from Seward to Vancouver vs Vancouver to Seward?
Hi, Julie Ann, I'm not used to checking that little bell in the corner of the page - just noticed it for the first time last month.
In reply to your question about visiting Alaska: Here in Southeast, the weather is tolerably warm by May (Alaska standards) and there may even be sunshine! Up north is QUITE DIFFERENT, and I have only visited there in late summer, (the Anchorage area, which includes Wasilla, Palmer, extending over to the peninsula that takes you down to Kenai & Homer...) loved it! Some people feel it's too hot by the end of August, but many Alaskans feel they're in a heat wave when the temp goes over 75.
Thank you for the information Dana! We’re looking at next summer and probably in late May or in June. Will you see glaciers all summer? Does the snow stay on the mountains all year? We will only be in the area from Seward to Anchorage! I can’t wait to visit your beautiful state! My son said it’s the most beautiful state he’s ever seen!
Thank you, Dana, for taking the time to answer my question. It’s so sad because I’ve heard the state is beautiful and it’s huge with so many natural resources but government ruins everything it touches, including the people who make their living doing it. I hope Alaskans will wake up and can turn it around!
Julie Ann B, Don't know the answer to that. Former Alaskan here, 30+ years, Anchorage then Juneau for 3. It used to be conservative. Started changing in the 70's 🙁
A dozen employees at work are really sick. Influenza and flu that are serious. Lasts for weeks. Coughing for weeks. Add the fact 2 coworkers died unexpectedly, one was a healthy 46 year old, I get the sense the covidians are worried. I give my advice on supplements and supporting your body and they are much more open to it. Word is getting out. Can't hide from it much longer.
I'll start off with I've always considered myself healthy aside from a yearly or bi-yearly cold--occasional flu. Have never been jabbed for flu nor Covid. I workout nearly daily, get sunshine, hike when it's nice out, take needed supplements (including those that boost the immune system and help to detox--liposomal glutathion, colostrum, C, Zn, Quercetin, D, K2, Curcumin, etc, etc, etc), hydrate with an occasional IV with added supplements and eat well (not perfectly, but not a fast food/highly processed diet). My downside--I drink plenty of wine. From August 2023 through December 2023 I had three sicknesses. Covid (no test--can just tell how it feels based on having it before). I did do a nasal rinse with povidone iodine but it still came on and a bit worse than first easiest time I had it. Two weeks later I got a cold--fairly normal that lasted about a week. By the way, it was the first cold I got since having Covid in November 2020 (unusual). Two months later I got something that I have no clue what it was. It was a cross between the flu and a cold and felt like I had been hit by a truck. I was down for nearly two weeks. With this last sickness, I had IVM on hand and started to take it at first sign that something may be coming on. I gargled with antiseptic mouthwash too. Nothing helped--I hit it with my arsenal! My husband got it two days before and he does take Covid tests. He took three of them over the span of 10 days, all were negative. Neither of us can recall having been so sick before that we were going back to bed in the middle of the day. So what the heck is this? It's not just the jabbed that are getting sick.
I am on what I hope is the tail end of a week long illness. I am pureblood, and have never had covid or really been sick in 20 years. Take ivm as a precaution but it didn't seem to matter. Now I can't taste or smell. Super healthy and try to eat just unprocessed...but as Jay says, these skies are pretty hard to get any rays from. Here in Florida it is a sky of restricted light. It is really awful out there lately.
It’s been a very cloudy winter here in Florida. It’s weird too. The last three winters we’ve been here the winters are gorgeous. Blue skies every day. Can get a little colder but still gorgeous. This winter I can count on one hand the number of times the sun has actually been out. It’s cold, cloudy, drizzly or rainy so much so that it reminds me of being back in Oregon. I can tell in my mood and motivation. More lethargic. I don’t like it. Not. One. Bit.
Sunnydaze, today's weather in Oregon, just as you say. I haven't done my usual happy light this year. I just think we are in a weather cycle and will need a few more years to see the trend. For the moment I will put aside weather modification.
I said that in 2017 when I was in Santa Fe & everybody tried to convince me of weather modification & geo-engineering.. I was very wrong .. you should research that more now as it relates directly to all our health & safety issues today
Here in south Otago, New Zealand we've had 3 glorious summers in a row but this spring/summer (only halfway through summer) has been up and down, and terribly windy since August maybe. But it was predicted - the 3 year La Nina cycle and now El Nino. If they can predict it I'm happy to accept it's part of a normal cycle.
Right??!! It has been so awful and I don't even want to be out in it. I see the lines in the sky, then it turns into this sludge. The last few winters were gorgeous. I know what is up, but is it really? Can that be a thing? If you listen to Dane Wigington, it absolutely is.
Yup. We are noticing a lot of them too. Pretty sure that’s the weather changes. The climate is changing because evil criminals are trying to be God. Satans m.o. from the beginning.
I hope you feel better soon. There is some sort of weird superbug going around. I live in AZ and swear that when I moved here in 2012 our skies were clearer than they are today. Well, actually, today proper the sky is very blue, but you know what I mean. Overall they have been more hazy.
Yes, I've listened to the Geoengineering podcasts. Scariest crap out there--well, I suppose "scariest" is all relative these days. I just KNOW those recent earthquakes were man (machine) made.
Same. Out here in AZ too and have had a cough for a month. Doctor not too concerned as lungs clear. I feel fine except for coughing up bits of phlegm. Used up my ivermectin and more due from India but not for another two weeks. Doing all the usual supplements plus workouts. It’s annoying!!
Annoying is exactly the word! My cousin got Covid at a wedding the weekend after Thanksgiving. She's like me--healthy, ridiculous amount of supplements, Ivermectin, exercises, etc. We talked about how annoyed we are at taking care of ourselves yet being taken down by sickness.
Try horseradish for that annoying cough, it's amazing! I never thought a spoon of that old root would help but it sure does. This bug is a nasty one for sure.
Oh no! What is valley fever? We are heading to Arizona for the month of March. Now we can worry about something besides the stream of illegals entering our country through Arizona!
I want to reply in general. First, I’ve read that some folks have gotten their taste and smell back by chewing Nicorette gum (name brand not generic.) Second, one of the most important supplements to take is probiotics. Our gut is the largest organ of our immune system. Stress, sugar, antibiotics, can all effect our gut biome.
Fermented beverages like kombucha, milk or water kefir and yogurt have those properties and readily available. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar to your diet everyday.
I too have been sick. Had a mild cold in February ‘23, my first in 8 years, then spent time at my folks this spring, summer, and in October my nephew visited me here.
Sore throat but not bad, did take ivermectin, went back up to folks.
Mid-December I got diverticulitis, 3 days after starting the antibiotics, I got shingles. Christmas day (two days before the full moon I started ivermectin and Fen Ben to do a parasite cleanse. Now I have my husband’s cold. Throat so sore I can barely swallow. What the hell?
Still taking ivermectin, quercitin, zinc, and echinacea and goldenseal. So, I’m wondering about shedding or perhaps the intense drugs that I took for the diver and shingles have flattened my immune system. Or a combination of both. Blood test revealed low lymphocytes and other markers for infection.
I hope you all get well soon and don’t get this cold thing!
Oh no! I hope you get better soon. I shared my cold with my Hubs. He is ever so grateful. Haha. I was craving bananas, so that is what I have been eating. Even though I can't smell or taste now. I just figured I have dodged so many bullets with all my travel and everywhere I have been, that I was due to get sick. It is a part of life, but all of us are on such high alert now, that the mundane and what used to be normal sets off alarm bells.
I am surrounded by sick people all the time. I am always opening a window, washing my hands, taking my supplements and trying to avoid hanging out with my coworkers too much. I am the only unvaxxed at work. Luckily at home we are all unvaxxed. So much going around. Ambulance and medical sirens every day. 😒 trying to stay healthy as best I can.
Just watched an Epoch interview with Dr Paul Merit. It was mostly about cancer but touched on covid. He said its safe to take up to 1000iu D, and take Omega 3, and eat, sleep, exercise, eat good food.
I was surprised to hear the part about high D, I normally take 4000iu I’m going to up mine for the winter.
(Also, 1L of pure water weighs 1kg. One of the advantages of a system that was designed to be easy to calculate with... even if the units aren't always a "natural" size, eg having to say 180cm instead of 6feet.)
A lot of people have breathing and low oxygen issues with these illnesses. I came across this article which I found fascinating and could help with taking the perfect breath.
"Stemming from the different analyses of pulmonary researches, Nestor concluded that this “perfect breath” turned out to be the root of health, happiness and longevity. He also found that this technique was found in spiritual practices worldwide, especially in the Rosary."
James Nestor's book Breath, The New Science of A Lost Art is very good, comprehensive on science, ancient breathing techniques (that have survived for millennia - y'think there might be something to them?) and reinforcing how this vital function needs to be done *correctly* to maintain health. Recommended. (It was recommended to me.) Who knew there was a proper way to breathe?
Interesting experience. Shows that even with all the recommended supplements that we can still get pretty sick. Certainly helps to be in as good shape as possible when that time comes.
Covid 19 is a bioweapon. It is still active. Symptoms are not necessary, testing doesn't mean a thing. Jabs enhance the bioweapon and are a bioweapon on their own.
If you look up Caroline Coram on Twitter, she has plenty of ideas around geo-engineering, sky gridding, spraying with arsine gas. From there you’ll probably find those who are discussing radiation sickness (prion disease) from 5g.
Same here. I have not had so much as a cold since having what I believe was covid in January 2020, but something knocked me on my butt too. Started with congestion, sinus headache and fatigue right before Christmas. Lost most of taste and smell and felt like my head weighed a ton. Last week went into my lungs and was up coughing all night. Tried all the homeopathic things and finally gave up and went to see a NP. I refused the covid test as I don't trust them but she gave me an antibiotic for what she thought was a sinus infection and some RX cough med. Cough is finally breaking up this week and congestion is mostly gone and finally feeling human again this week. Unjabbed BTW but out and about in crowds a lot the weeks before Christmas so who knows.
I'm sorry you are sick. Sounds like you are doing everything right. Maybe get tested for mono? I've heard that gets triggered when you have been sick with other illnesses.
Interesting thought. My daughter did mention that too last month but my brain just poo-poo'd it. Hearing it again now, perhaps I should be tested. I despise doctors--I'm going to see if there's an online test. Thank you!
I order from ultalabtests.com, w/ the blood draw at a local Quest Diagnostic lab (in the back of a Safeway). I just looked online: "Heterophile, Mono Screen #654" is the top result, searching on "mono." It's $24.95, not including the blood draw, but there's always a coupon: UltaHRS23 is the current one.
Totally can relate. Both husband and I got a terrible flu twice last year (not tested - retired) like no other we have ever had and not jabbed either. We had to sleep in recliners - never done before - due to congestion. We had not been sick for about 8 years when we worked and sick people came in to work and spread what they had. Really bizarre. I’m wondering if it was vax shedding from people when we had to go out and about for groceries, etc. Take care.
My adult daughter (un-injected) was so terribly sick again yesterday, she went to Urgent Care. Her fever hit 103 & stayed there, no matter what she did, for 3 days! Throat so sore that shallowing saliva was a big challenge! She tested negative for strep, mono, etc... But she was only well for about one week, before getting hit again. They even did a CT scan to look for a throat abscess, cause her neck was actually swollen. Scan was clear. Put her on steroids & due to some edema (fluid retention) in her sinuses, also prescribed antibiotics. ER doc brought up “Adult Onset Auto-Inflammatory disease”. Much different then autoimmune. Autoimmune issues are with the “adaptive” responses, learned antibodies & their reaction to triggers. Autoinflammatory involves the “innate” responses of fever, elevated white blood counts, etc. We’ve got a lot to learn now! Wth is this? She is surrounded with vaxxed coworkers & works with plastic dust particles, so has to be in a clean suit & mask for her 12 hour shifts.
I'm just coming out of the worst part of what sounds like you had too. Pulled out our stored Covid test kits and tested negative for that. Seems like a really bad cold but was very light headed a couple days ago. Running nose emits lots of gunk and have coughing fits now and then. Bit sore all over and run down. No fever or other signs of flu and still able to smell/taste. But seems much worse than a normal cold. Also pureblood and in good health normally.
Yours is an interesting anecdote Susan; I’m glad you are well now.
As others have mentioned, there may be a number of potential reasons for your illness, as well as the apparent lack of efficacy in your prophylactic regimen, and IVM treatment. I say ‘apparent’ because it may be that your IVM, together with the prophylactic vitamins and other supplements, actually made a great deal of difference in the ultimate outcome.
We can’t be sure, but I would take the position that it did.
You don’t mention it in your account, but did your husband take the jabs?
Agree. November, I was hit with some severe cold/flu (I would never take one of those useless and dangerous covid tests). I took weeks to improve, lengthy severe cough I couldn’t shake. Pureblood and took IVM; didn’t seem to take and had to ride it out.
At Christmas, my daughter and husband hit with same illness. Just not as severe as my symptoms were.
You sound very much like my experience , health regimen, exercise and wine. I'm just getting over the 3rd cold/flu/respiratory thing since 2 days after Thanksgiving. I surmised that part of my deal was not getting enough sunlight. Maybe. The other explanation is all of the $#it they've been criss-crossing the skies with. It's been INSANE in rural NE Georgia mountains. I'm about to turn 63. No rx garbage in my system. I cook 95% of my food; grow some of it; the rest is local/organic and most of the protein I consume is from our own land, ethically and regeneratively raised, the way God intended. Our water is a 340+ foot untreated (but tested for purity) well.
Dang! What gives, indeed! Especially in Georgia where you probably have that good Lithium water too (well, at least good for the nerves). So weird how we're all getting some sort of crappy sickness.
I have no doubt that they are dosing us all with Chemtrails. We are all breathing this fine greyish tan contamination that filters down on my windshield.
The shots must not have worked fast enough for them but the sickest people I noticed around here are those already jabbed.
Maybe the asteroid will free us from these political hemorrhoids!
I think many of us are frustrated that the heavily jabbed folks are slow to process the problem or are unwilling to acknowledge it. A lot of the effects are subtle or delayed (like repeat infections). Now, it may well be that sars-cov2 causes longer term problems for some un-jabbed folks (in their first bout) but that doesn't mean that a mRNA transfection that goes systemically and does not prevent infection was a better choice. In fact, it is far worse.
I personally had a rough go with covid (or whatever it was) - I do have a predisposition to chest colds, but for me a lot of the issues were stress-related (to authoritarian measures etc). I did recover fully., though it took a couple of months. I have zero regrets not getting the shot (though I do wish I had been more proactive sourcing early treatment before I needed it). Since that bout 2 years ago, I have had one cold type thing that lasted 3 days and wasn't bad - no cough, some chest irritation and sniffles. I have no complaints.
The only people that are really going to change the tide are likely the awakened-jabbed folk. The un-jabbed are over the virus part (not the authoritarian part, though..)
The stress is what gets me too. Every day I walk around and try to keep myself sane. I am tired of being the only aware person in a Twilight Zone episode. 😒
That is totally it, right? And, paying attention to all the crap they throw at us would smush me. I have to prioritize what I give an ear to. People are so dumb, I just can't stand it.
Agree! Thanking God that there are others like you out there that have been given discernment to see what is happening. I am wrestling with the enemy to not let the darkness that I see everyday overwhelm me. Digging deep to cling to defiant joy as the Joy of the Lord is our strength!
I myself have been sick this being the third week. And I’ve not been ill in at least ten years. But I’m very healthy in my habits, have good vitamin D levels, not covid vaxxed, no recent vaccinations at all actually--stopped doing them a few years pre-covid. Pounding the vitamin C and did a 7 day of ivermectin and avoided all doctors and hospitals. lol. Much different than the last time I had the flu actually where I was desperately sick in bed for a week and needed antibiotics, antivirals, and high powered cough medicine as I broke a rib coughing. I’ve had *symptoms* for 3 weeks and have been resting and eating very carefully but no medical intervention was necessary. I could have easily worked after the first week but have been on vacation the whole time. 🙄 some vacation.
There seems to be a cough going around that is lasting 6 or more weeks. A doctor said he hasn't seen anyone unvaccinated with it. Lots of people commented that they were unvaxxed and had it, but didn't trust doctors anymore so treating it themselves.
I'm reminded of the "play within a play" during Fear the Walking Dead -- the airplane. One passenger goes down, to everyone's horror, then one by one, all go down, until the plane crashes in Baja. Impending doom is the feeling.
Yes, exactly! For me the scene that always comes to mind is the opening of 'I am Legend' where Emma Thompson/Dr. Alice Krippin is being interviewed about her miracle cure for cancer! At the beginning of all of this I kept thinking, 'haven't they watched the film?'
I've been following Harvard University FB and IG post. They have turned off their commenting. I was calling them out on their cruel animal experiments in comments. They were sewing shut the eyes of baby monkeys. But I'm assuming their latest development has caused a stir on social media therefore they shut off commenting.
"sewing shut the eyes of baby monkeys". What kind of medical (I assume) data could be gleaned from doing such heinous atrocities? The people who think up these "experiments" should be ostracized from humanity. The people who carry out these experiments should suffer the same fate as their victims.
Reading about Joe Ladapo's courage and perseverance in calling for the shots to be halted actually brought tears to my eyes. As I have stated several times recently, winning does not necessarily mean we can bring about the outcome we desire; it means we are fighting with all we've got to get the truth out, while refusing to compromise or comply. As Jesus states in Matthew 5:11, "You are blessed when they insult you and persecute you and falsely say every kind of evil against you because of me." We are doing God's work when we seek to protect the vulnerable. It's sad that so many don't want to be protected, but it doesn't change our mission as followers of Christ.
Same. I am proud of him. I thought I need to write an email to thank him. Amd then I thought no I don’t want it traced back to me, ever. How horrible is that?! What this world has done to even well
Gay didn't really loose anything, she/he still gets a 1 million salary, a board seat, and a job for life.
So she still won.
We need to stop and look at what the left actually produces with all their ugliness for getting into positions of power................nothing burgers every one of them. They produce nothing good.
She lost face, lost power, was publicly shown to be a plagiarizing mediocrity (at best), and the whole DEI enterprise has been discredited. They held this person up to be their best and brightest, the best Harvard had to offer, and she was humiliated. That's a big step forward that we need to keep in mind.
However, you are exactly right that the left takes care of their own which is why these people know they can act with impunity. Even if they get taken out they still are rewarded with a big bucks sinecure.
Totally agree it should be, but the fact that such a dolt as Gay was appointed to lead it in the first place shows how utterly corrupt the place is.
This didn't happen overnight but was a result of decades of subversion. I think that many people really don't understand just how far the rot has advanced, it won't be turned around quickly. But for the first time in a very long time, the left lost a big one here, and were exposed for what they were doing. The fact that a two-fer (maybe a three-fer?) in the diversity sweepstakes got taken out is a big deal. They thought she was untouchable.
Savor the victories, and don't let the perfect be the enemy of good.
Joe had to drop out of the run for president back in 1988 for plagiarizing others speeches and flat out lying about his own history. Censoring this info in 2020 worked well for those too young to remember.
I agree, but if Gay is anything like all the other woke people, she lost because the ideology is losing ground. Trust me, I don’t understand how the woke can push 2+LGBTQ in schools and have Epstein, when still alive get knuckle wrapped and his girlfriend get 20 years. What are we doing to our children exposing them to sexual ideologies when they are too young to understand the concepts. All these educators should be in jail.
I am planning to retire in a couple of months. My exit interview with HR will be used to address dei. I will borrow Elon's quote "dei is just another word for racism. Shame on anyone who uses it." I am sure to be hustled out quickly. Screw them.
I would love a transcript of your exit interview 😂 They have no idea what is coming! 🙌 🙌
My husband had an exit interview with the owner of his company in 2019. He gave an honest response about some things going on in the company. He answered the questions that were asked of him. He was a high level Managment employee but was not a “yes” man. They did not like that and they ousted him in very unethical and unscrupulous ways. After he spoke the truth very professionally and respectfully he was told to get mental help. 🤦🏼♀️ God moved him on to a better job, making more financially, with a much larger company that respects and values him and God is blessing his work beyond what we had ever imagined, and God put me into the land of sunshine. So there’s that. 😉
I quit giving exit interviews. Uppe management claims they want to know what is happening or wrong, promise change, but nothing ever changes and you are then marked as incurable and if new employers check are role unhireable. Fortunately, I was able to retire 3 years ago after 43 year of being an active RN.
Have you ever read 2nd smartest’s articles on him? It’s pretty eye-opening, if you haven’t figure it out yet. Regardless, dei is just another way to abuse people for profit.
My son went to University of Hartford for 2 years in 2000, before he transferred to the college of his choice. He said there was a required class, some kind of sexual perversion class, that made him so uncomfortable that he was sick.
Flash forward to State University of NY four years later and my daughter experienced the same..again saying that what she saw in that class made her sick to her stomach.
It seems that our colleges and universities have been indoctrinating the precious souls of our children with demonic filth for two decades now...I believe it has to do with gvt funding? No coincidence that it started in the Clinton era.
Chris Rufo's substack today contains the interview he did with Politico, a far-left outlet, explaining exactly how he and his allies set about ousting Gay. Rufo et al are not trying to hide the ball - they are trying to provide a template for other anti-woke warriors to follow that can get them to a win. You can practically hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth in the questions that Politico asked.
I think I’ll submit Gay’s doctoral thesis to Harvard as my own and call it, “Duplicative Language and Duplicative Language: Systemic Ivy League Discrimination against Me for Being only 1/8 Latinxino and at Least 1/4 Germanicx.” If they don’t give me a PhD, I’ll sue them for hurting my feelings.
keep watching...it will not be allowed to teach as IT HAS NO CREDIBLE DEGREES...it's CV is FAKE AND STOLEN and how can it TEACH with that record when students would be EXPELLED for the same crimes?!?!?
And got away with it. But, Hillary cannot look away. She sold her soul, thinking Slick Willie would get her into the WH. He has gotten her into Epstein’s House of Horrors. It is a two-fer!
Jeff, just wondering about your subscription rates: (I'm in Canada). CAD $70/month is out of league with what most charge... having been a reader for two years now I'm wondering if it's a mistake, as I'd happily pay the usual $5, $7 or even $11/month and I know you have maybe hundreds of thousands of subs, so am thinking you'd make more with a more affordable price? Also, it's confusing because as a free subscriber I'm not supposed to be able to comment. Thanks for clearing this up for me...
Hi Joanie, thanks for the inquiry - answered many times but with new folks coming in, and with hit-and-miss views, it always bears repeating. When in 2021 I was cancelled from all platforms in a single day, we had to quickly setup replacements. At that time, folks were helping financially via Patreon, which allowed three different tiers. By far the most popular tier was $50, which folks agreed was buying one billable lawyer hour per year, letting me devote more time to freedom-related activities and less to conventional lawyering.
So it was a no-brainer when we setup Substack -- which only allows *one* monthly tier -- to pick $50.
To be clear: I don't want *anyone* who can't afford that rate to help (not at that level). You help just by reading and recommending! As others have pointed out, we could probably raise more at a lower level but that's not my only consideration. There's also an option for one-time donations on the link, and if you feel so moved please use that one anytime; everything helps.
Again, thanks so much for asking the question. Glad I was able to see it.
Thanks Jeff (and sorry for causing you to have to repeat all this)! I do read your stack first thing every morning but not always the comments so... will certainly now make a long-overdue donation. Appreciate you immensely!
It’s his substack and he has the right to charge any subscription price he wants to. Free market principles. With that being said you can also give him any amount at any time in appreciation for his time and work put into writing this substack. Free is dead and cheap is on the critical list. So do what you can! And you are allowed to comment whether you are a subscriber or not. Thank you Jeff!
Yes, of course he does; but his subscribe page says free subs can't comment yet here we are. So it's only natural for me to question if one or another element is in error. I'm currently a paid subscriber to three other authors in Substack, and personally prefer that to one-off donations.
I can't justify staying subscribed all year, however, I love reading him so likewise, I cannot allow him to go unrewarded. I gift myself a month and then go unsubscribed for a month, sometimes two. I share him on social media and forward emails in hopes he gains a subscriber. So I miss some Sundays... and yet he keeps on chuggin
Sigh. If I wasn’t on such a tight budget I would love to support his column too. I know “The workman is worthy of his hire”, but I can’t afford another debit. I am thankful for him and I pray for him. Maybe some day I can support him too.
You've already received more feedback than you probably expected, but with Jeff being a practicing attorney, the subscription fee really doesn't matter because we are receiving 6 out of 7 days per week of pro bono content and legal analysis. My father was an attorney for 40 years, and I was always struck at how many viewed legal advice as something we should be entitled to gratis (also I'm not saying you are ungrateful or entitled in any way.)
Most attorneys I know do a considerable amount of pro bono work and I view C&C as part this --and I'm beyond grateful. We've always been able to comment except on Sundays, and I have given donations in the past, but I also am not able to afford the $500 subscription. I assume if people can afford it, they get a little bit more of Jeff at a higher level and he can filter out his interactions with subscribers to allow him the time he needs for his "day job" and also his family. All the best to you in Canada!
Yeah I have done that and then those weeks he shared the paid content for free. So then I unsubscribed. I’m happy to pay $50 a year but would like more than 4 Sunday posts for that amount. For $50 I would like all the Sunday posts.
I think Martin meant "PAY" for a month, and then go back to being a free SUBSCRIBER. Similar assumption with Magnolia's comment. Jeff and all Substackers I'm aware of have "free SUBSCRIBERS;" indeed, many Substack writers have no other kind of subscribers.
I'm betting that if 99% of the people gripping about "not being able to afford it" would discontinue your boob tube subscriptions, you could then afford Jeff. It's all a choice.
Its not a choice for a lot of people. most people need $25 dollar an hour to just make ends meet and many people don't make that let alone save for retirement and emergencies.
Retired people are also on a very strict budget.
Not to mention people who lost their jobs or business during COVID
Thank you for this comment. I have not seen the many earlier conversations. Do you know why he prefers to do it this way? I'm hoping it's not to weed out the poor people from the informed population; we are experiencing more and more of that, society-wide.
The only thing the non-paying readers are missing out on is the Sunday edition. I like knowing that my $50 is going not just to "some guy" writing an opinion, but to the countless hours this guy spends researching news stories, scouring sources you and I would never think of, at the same time defending freedom-fighters from his office in Florida. Yay!
I am hoping SS from my now deceased ex-hus will allow me to subscribe to C&C. Payments haven’t started and I don’t know how much but hope springs eternal 😊
I'd like to know the reason for his preference; I am unable to fathom it. And I, too, have been told on-screen that I cannot, as a free subscriber, comment on C & C ~ which of course means that it's *not* always the case that we are all free to join in the conversation here. Sometimes, only the people who are able to pay for the privilege are able to join in the conversation.
Only on Sunday would you be prevented from commenting. He doesn’t usually do a “preview” on Sunday. But it’s meant to tempt people to become a paid subscriber and it probably works pretty well. So if he doesn’t do a preview you wouldn’t even know you are missing anything. Last Sunday he sent out an email preview so for that content, and on that day you could not comment unless you paid.
Magnolia, it's not to tempt subscribers that he opens part of the Sunday editions, it's because many of those of us who are subscribers have told him that we subscribe not to get exclusive content, but to support his pro-liberty legal work, and that important material that is shared on Sundays should be shared with everyone. The rate is set high so that most get it for free, but those who can easily afford it crowd-fund his pro-liberty legal work by paying for about one hour of legal services.
There have been a couple of non-Sundays where he accidentally forgot to turn off “only subscribers can comment” when he posted, but he corrected it later and has apologized when it has happened.
Thanks for mentioning this. Perhaps he explained this in a comment or on the very same couple of non-Sundays I have not read :) ~ I hadn't seen that and didn't quite understand 'til reading your comment.
Can we as humans just make it easy? What if we decided how much we could pay a month ie 5 or 10 or whatever and multiply by 12 months and just gift it to Jeff in a month when one is able ie 5.00 x12= 60.00.
Wouldn’t that be easier than trying to get him to change the way he wishes to do this? Not gigging anyone just saying…. Common sense helps the world go round…
Personally, I appreciate that Jeff is charging the way he is. He is reaching a lot more people who are in my financial circumstance. If he even charged $5, I don’t if I would have paid to be able to read it. I would not have become the huge fan that I am or would have had the opportunity to share the information I have learned along with the confidence to share it. I don’t mind missing Sunday’s because he still posting important information to us if the group thinks we should hear it. So, from him, I am very grateful to Jeff and hopes he keeps it just the way it is.
I have been a paid subscriber so I know, you are missing out on really good info. It is worth the price if you can afford it. It’s only accessible to those who are wealthy enough to have an extra $50 a month. I stopped paying that amount because number one I feel it’s unreasonable, it and I have young children and feel i need to save that money for them. But I would gladly pay a reasonable amount for that content.
All I know is that it is something he considers to be well worth $50 each month. My assumption is that I would agree with his assessment. Certainly, during the years in which I was able to read all C & C content, I found that invaluable, just as I continue to find the content which I remain able to access to be invaluable.
Alice, it's not to tempt subscribers that he opens part of the Sunday editions, it's because many of those of us who are subscribers have told him that we subscribe not to get exclusive content, but to support his pro-liberty legal work, and that important material that is shared on Sundays should be shared with everyone. The rate is set high so that most get it for free, but those who can easily afford it crowd-fund his pro-liberty legal work by paying for about one hour of legal services. If the Sunday edition were open I would continue to pay the full amount, for this reason.
If you have a library card, you can probably read it for free. Our local library features a variety of online databases with content that is normally found behind a paywall. NYT, WaPo, etc. So can read without giving them a click or any $. Downside is this is not real time, there is a 2-3 day lag most of the time, but this article was from September so it was there.
"America is a rich country and we have made massive progress over the decades toward achieving this goal, but we obviously have much more work to do. Steps taken on the path to socialism – another word for an equality of outcome system – will reverse this progress and ultimately impoverish us all. We have seen this movie many times."
Thank you Donna, that was very helpful to read his comments in full. He took time to squarely address the gross problem of anti-white racism that has taken hold in this country (and is being taught in every public K-12 school to children of every color, and is guiding hiring and promotion in every public and private enterprise).
Unrelated to the DEI issue, as a side note, I would suggest that universities should broaden their searches to include capable business people for the role of president, as a university president requires more business skills than can be gleaned from even the most successful academic career with its hundreds of peer reviewed papers and many books. Universities have a Dean of the Faculty and a bureaucracy to oversee the faculty and academic environment of the university. It therefore does not make sense that the university president has to come through the ranks of academia, with a skill set unprepared for university management.
The president’s job – managing thousands of employees, overseeing a $50 billion endowment, raising money, managing expenses, capital allocation, real estate acquisition, disposition, and construction, and reputation management – are responsibilities that few career academics are capable of executing. Broadening the recruitment of candidates to include top business executives would also create more opportunities for diverse talent for the office of the university president.
Furthermore, Harvard is a massive business that has been mismanaged for a long time. The cost structure of the University is out of control due in large part to the fact that the administration has grown without bounds. Revenues are below what they should be because the endowment has generated a 4.5% annualized return for the last decade in one of the greatest bull markets in history, and that low return is not due to the endowment taking lower risks as the substantial majority of its assets are invested in illiquid and other high-risk assets.
The price of the product, a Harvard education, has risen at a rate well in excess of inflation for decades, (I believe it has grown about 7-8% per annum) and it is now about $320,000 for four years of a liberal arts education at Harvard College. As a result, the only students who can now afford Harvard come from rich families and poor ones. The middle class can’t get enough financial aid other than by borrowing a lot of money, and it is hard to make the economics work in life after college when you graduate with large loan balances, particularly if you also attend graduate school.
The best companies in the world grow at high rates over many decades. Harvard has grown at a de minimis rate. Since I graduated 35 years ago, the number of students in the Harvard class has grown by less than 20%. What other successful business do you know that has grown the number of customers it serves by less than 20% in 35 years, and where nearly all revenue growth has come from raising prices?
In summary, there is a lot more work to be done to fix Harvard than just replacing its president. That said, the selection of Harvard’s next president is a critically important task, and the individuals principally responsible for that decision do not have a good track record for doing so based on their recent history, nor have they done a good job managing the other problems which I have identified above.
The Corporation board led by Penny Pritzker selected the wrong president and did inadequate due diligence about her academic record despite Gay being in leadership roles at the University since 2015 when she became dean of the Social Studies department.
The Board failed to create a discrimination-free environment on campus exposing the University to tremendous reputational damage, to large legal and financial liabilities, Congressional investigations and scrutiny, and to the potential loss of Federal funding, all while damaging the learning environment for all students.
And when concerns were raised about plagiarism in Gay’s research, the Board said these claims were “demonstrably false” and it threatened the NY Post with “immense” liability if it published a story raising these issues.
It was only after getting the story cancelled that the Board secretly launched a cursory, short-form investigation outside of the proper process for evaluating a member of the faculty’s potential plagiarism. When the Board finally publicly acknowledged some of Gay’s plagiarism, it characterized the plagiarism as “unintentional” and invented new euphemisms, i.e., “duplicative language” to describe plagiarism, a belittling of academic integrity that has caused grave damage to Harvard’s academic standards and credibility.
The Board’s three-person panel of “political scientist experts” that to this day remain unnamed who evaluated Gay’s work failed to identify many examples of her plagiarism, leading to even greater reputational damage to the University and its reputation for academic integrity as the whistleblower and the media continued to identify additional problems with Gay’s work in the days and weeks thereafter.
According to the NY Post, the Board also apparently sought to identify the whistleblower and seek retribution against him or her in contravention to the University’s whistleblower protection policies.
Despite all of the above, the Board “unanimously” gave its full support for Gay during this nearly four-month crisis, until eventually being forced to accept her resignation earlier today, a grave and continuing reputational disaster to Harvard and to the Board.
In a normal corporate context with the above set of facts, the full board would resign immediately to be replaced by a group nominated by shareholders. In the case of Harvard, however, the Board nominates itself and its new members. There is no shareholder vote mechanism to replace them.
So what should happen?
The Corporation Board should not remain in their seats protected by the unusual governance structure which enabled them to obtain their seats.
The Board Chair, Penny Pritzker, should resign along with the other members of the board who led the campaign to keep Claudine Gay, orchestrated the strategy to threaten the media, bypassed the process for evaluating plagiarism, and otherwise greatly contributed to the damage that has been done. Then new Corporation board members should be identified who bring true diversity, viewpoint and otherwise, to the board.
The Board should not be principally comprised of individuals who share the same politics and views about DEI. The new board members should be chosen in a transparent process with the assistance of the 30-person Board of Overseers. There is no reason the Harvard board of 12 independent trustees cannot be comprised of the most impressive, high integrity, intellectually and politically diverse members of our country and globe. We have plenty of remarkable people to choose from, and the job of being a director just got much more interesting and important. It is no longer, nor should it ever have been, an honorary and highly political sinecure.
The ODEIB should be shut down, and the staff should be terminated. The ODEIB has already taken down much of the ideology and strategies that were on its website when I and others raised concerns about how the office operates and who it does and does not represent. Taking down portions of the website does not address the fundamentally flawed and racist ideology of this office, and calls into further question the ODEIB’s legitimacy.
Why would the ODEIB take down portions of its website when an alum questioned its legitimacy unless the office was doing something fundamentally wrong or indefensible?
Harvard must once again become a meritocratic institution which does not discriminate for or against faculty or students based on their skin color, and where diversity is understood in its broadest form so that students can learn in an environment which welcomes diverse viewpoints from faculty and students from truly diverse backgrounds and experiences.
Harvard must create an academic environment with real academic freedom and free speech, where self-censoring, speech codes, and cancel culture are forever banished from campus.
Harvard should become an environment where all students of all persuasions feel comfortable expressing their views and being themselves. In the business world, we call this creating a great corporate culture, which begins with new leadership and the right tone at the top. It does not require the creation of a massive administrative bureaucracy.
These are the minimum changes necessary to begin to repair the damage that has been done.
A number of faculty at the University of Pennsylvania have proposed a new constitution which can be found at http://pennforward.com, which has been signed by more than 1,200 faculty from Penn, Harvard, and other universities. Harvard would do well to adopt Penn’s proposed new constitution or a similar one before seeking to hire its next president.
A condition of employment of the new Harvard president should be the requirement that the new president agrees to strictly abide by the new constitution. He or she should take an oath to that effect.
Today was an important step forward for the University. It is time we restore Veritas to Harvard and again be an exemplar that graduates well-informed, highly-educated leaders of exemplary moral standing and good judgment who can help bring our country together, advance our democracy, and identify the important new discoveries that will help save us from ourselves.
I would take issue though with his idea that class size should show growth, not sure that is desirable and it has implications as to quality of education (personal access to professors, small class sizes, adequate resources for all, etc.) that are not negligible.
I had to go back and re-read as I didn't remember him saying that? But I think he is talking about overall enrollment - refers to 'class size' as in the Freshman class, the Sophomore class, etc. ?? So not saying bigger class sizes, I think he is talking about bigger student population. Granted, the intent is probably to keep it small as they fancy themselves as 'elite' BUT my understanding that most undergrad courses at such schools are mostly taught by grad assistants not full professors, and that if you get a prof, it's likely that you are in an auditorium sized space where they don't even know the names of the students. And yet charge the big bucks.
Personally thought I got a great education at my mid sized, reasonably priced regional university, where class sizes were small, taught by actual professors and at least in the business school, were mostly conservative and challenged me with what were then my more liberal views. But that was the 80's, think wokery has infiltrated them quite a bit now, although not as much as the more name brand schools. It's in a pretty small town in red part of the state so probably not a dream destination for the hard core lefties.
I understood the same thing you did as far as class size being the student body, but if you increase that, you will inevitably increase the other kind of class size unless you add instructors and possibly also classrooms. At some point it becomes unsustainable—you can’t just keep increasing and increasing. It also would have the potential effect of diluting the “prestige” aspect if it is easier to get in (more students = more available spots for candidates). I just don’t really think this part of his argument has merit, personally. I don’t know why a college or university would have to necessarily grow their student body. Although I do agree about the businessman argument, but it has to be someone who also can understand the unique setting and needs of academia. I think the president of Purdue University was successful in this regard.
It is my understanding that at Harvard, like smaller so-called “elite” liberal arts colleges, most of the instruction is done by professors/faculty and not by grad/teaching assistants. That is part of their appeal and differentiation from large public institutions.
Well, yes that makes sense. Ackman is applying a business metric where it is not really relevant.
Demographics being what they are - the big Millennial generation has given way to the smaller Gen Z generation, and a more kids are seeing the light and looking for alternatives to the 4-year college path. Class sizes may be getting smaller everywhere.
Under DEI, one’s degree of oppression is determined based upon where one resides on a so-called intersectional pyramid of oppression where whites, Jews, and Asians are deemed oppressors, and a subset of people of color, LGBTQ people, and/or women are deemed to be oppressed. Under this ideology which is the philosophical underpinning of DEI as advanced by Ibram X. Kendi and others, one is either an anti-racist or a racist. There is no such thing as being “not racist.”
Under DEI’s ideology, any policy, program, educational system, economic system, grading system, admission policy, (and even climate change due its disparate impact on geographies and the people that live there), etc. that leads to unequal outcomes among people of different skin colors is deemed racist.
As a result, according to DEI, capitalism is racist, Advanced Placement exams are racist, IQ tests are racist, corporations are racist, or in other words, any merit-based program, system, or organization which has or generates outcomes for different races that are at variance with the proportion these different races represent in the population at large is by definition racist under DEI’s ideology.
In order to be deemed anti-racist, one must personally take action to reverse any unequal outcomes in society. The DEI movement, which has permeated many universities, corporations, and state, local and federal governments, is designed to be the anti-racist engine to transform society from its currently structurally racist state to an anti-racist one.
After the death of George Floyd, the already burgeoning DEI movement took off without any real challenge to its problematic ideology. Why, you might ask, was there so little pushback? The answer is that anyone who dared to raise a question which challenged DEI was deemed a racist, a label which could severely impact one’s employment, social status, reputation and more. Being called a racist got people cancelled, so those concerned about DEI and its societal and legal implications had no choice but to keep quiet in this new climate of fear.
The techniques that DEI has used to squelch the opposition are found in the Red Scares and McCarthyism of decades past. If you challenge DEI, “justice” will be swift, and you may find yourself unemployed, shunned by colleagues, cancelled, and/or you will otherwise put your career and acceptance in society at risk.
The DEI movement has also taken control of speech. Certain speech is no longer permitted. So-called “microaggressions” are treated like hate speech. “Trigger warnings” are required to protect students. “Safe spaces” are necessary to protect students from the trauma inflicted by words that are challenging to the students’ newly-acquired world views. Campus speakers and faculty with unapproved views are shouted down, shunned, and cancelled.
These speech codes have led to self-censorship by students and faculty of views privately held, but no longer shared. There is no commitment to free expression at Harvard other than for DEI-approved views. This has led to the quashing of conservative and other viewpoints from the Harvard campus and faculty, and contributed to Harvard’s having the lowest free speech ranking of 248 universities assessed by the Foundation of Individual Rights and Expression.
When one examines DEI and its ideological heritage, it does not take long to understand that the movement is inherently inconsistent with basic American values. Our country since its founding has been about creating and building a democracy with equality of opportunity for all. Millions of people have left behind socialism and communism to come to America to start again, as they have seen the destruction leveled by an equality of outcome society.
The E for “equity” in DEI is about equality of outcome, not equality of opportunity.
DEI is racist because reverse racism is racism, even if it is against white people (and it is remarkable that I even need to point this out). Racism against white people has become considered acceptable by many not to be racism, or alternatively, it is deemed acceptable racism. While this is, of course, absurd, it has become the prevailing view in many universities around the country.
You can say things about white people today in universities, in business or otherwise, that if you switched the word ‘white’ to ‘black,’ the consequences to you would be costly and severe.
To state what should otherwise be self-evident, whether or not a statement is racist should not depend upon whether the target of the racism is a group who currently represents a majority or minority of the country or those who have a lighter or darker skin color. Racism against whites is as reprehensible as it is against groups with darker skin colors.
Substack says it's too long, so doing this in parts!
In light of today’s news, I thought I would try to take a step back and provide perspective on what this is really all about.
I first became concerned about @Harvard when 34 Harvard student organizations, early on the morning of October 8th before Israel had taken any military actions in Gaza, came out publicly in support of Hamas, a globally recognized terrorist organization, holding Israel ‘solely responsible’ for Hamas’ barbaric and heinous acts.
How could this be? I wondered.
When I saw President Gay’s initial statement about the massacre, it provided more context (!) for the student groups’ statement of support for terrorism. The protests began as pro-Palestine and then became anti-Israel. Shortly, thereafter, antisemitism exploded on campus as protesters who violated Harvard’s own codes of conduct were emboldened by the lack of enforcement of Harvard’s rules, and kept testing the limits on how aggressive, intimidating, and disruptive they could be to Jewish and Israeli students, and the student body at large. Sadly, antisemitism remains a simmering source of hate even at our best universities among a subset of students.
A few weeks later, I went up to campus to see things with my own eyes, and listen and learn from students and faculty. I met with 15 or so members of the faculty and a few hundred students in small and large settings, and a clearer picture began to emerge.
I ultimately concluded that antisemitism was not the core of the problem, it was simply a troubling warning sign – it was the “canary in the coal mine” – despite how destructive it was in impacting student life and learning on campus.
I came to learn that the root cause of antisemitism at Harvard was an ideology that had been promulgated on campus, an oppressor/oppressed framework, that provided the intellectual bulwark behind the protests, helping to generate anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hate speech and harassment.
Then I did more research. The more I learned, the more concerned I became, and the more ignorant I realized I had been about DEI, a powerful movement that has not only pervaded Harvard, but the educational system at large. I came to understand that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion was not what I had naively thought these words meant.
I have always believed that diversity is an important feature of a successful organization, but by diversity I mean diversity in its broadest form: diversity of viewpoints, politics, ethnicity, race, age, religion, experience, socioeconomic background, sexual identity, gender, one’s upbringing, and more.
What I learned, however, was that DEI was not about diversity in its purest form, but rather DEI was a political advocacy movement on behalf of certain groups that are deemed oppressed under DEI’s own methodology.
Martin Luther King’s most famous words are instructive: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
But here we are in 2024, being asked and in some cases required to use skin color to effect outcomes in admissions (recently deemed illegal by the Supreme Court), in business (likely illegal yet it happens nonetheless) and in government (also I believe in most cases to be illegal, except apparently in government contracting), rather than the content of one’s character. As such, a meritocracy is an anathema to the DEI movement. DEI is inherently a racist and illegal movement in its implementation even if it purports to work on behalf of the so-called oppressed.
And DEI’s definition of oppressed is fundamentally flawed.
I have always believed that the most fortunate should help the least fortunate, and that our system should be designed in such a way as to maximize the size of the overall pie so that it will enable us to provide an economic system which can offer quality of life, education, housing, and healthcare for all.
America is a rich country and we have made massive progress over the decades toward achieving this goal, but we obviously have much more work to do. Steps taken on the path to socialism – another word for an equality of outcome system – will reverse this progress and ultimately impoverish us all. We have seen this movie many times.
Having a darker skin color, a less common sexual identity, and/or being a woman doesn’t make one necessarily oppressed or even disadvantaged. While slavery remains a permanent stain on our country’s history – a fact which is used by DEI to label white people as oppressors – it doesn’t therefore hold that all white people generations after the abolishment of slavery should be held responsible for its evils. Similarly, the fact that Columbus discovered America doesn’t make all modern-day Italians colonialists.
An ideology that portrays a bicameral world of oppressors and the oppressed based principally on race or sexual identity is a fundamentally racist ideology that will likely lead to more racism rather than less. A system where one obtains advantages by virtue of one’s skin color is a racist system, and one that will generate resentment and anger among the un-advantaged who will direct their anger at the favored groups.
The country has seen burgeoning resentment and anger grow materially over the last few years, and the DEI movement is an important contributor to our growing divisiveness. Resentment is one of the most important drivers of racism. And it is the lack of equity, i.e, fairness, in how DEI operates, that contributes to this resentment.
I was accused of being a racist from the President of the NAACP among others when I posted on
@X
that I had learned that the Harvard President search process excluded candidates that did not meet the DEI criteria. I didn’t say that former President Gay was hired because she was a black woman. I simply said that I had heard that the search process by its design excluded a large percentage of potential candidates due to the DEI limitations. My statement was not a racist one. It was simply the empirical truth about the Harvard search process that led to Gay’s hiring.
When former President Gay was hired, I knew little about her, but I was instinctually happy for Harvard and the black community. Every minority community likes to see their representatives recognized in important leadership positions, and it is therefore an important moment for celebration. I too celebrated this achievement. I am inspired and moved by others’ success, and I thought of Gay’s hiring at the pinnacle leadership position at perhaps our most important and iconic university as an important and significant milestone for the black community.
I have spent the majority of my life advocating on behalf of and supporting members of disadvantaged communities including by investing several hundreds of millions of dollars of philanthropic assets to help communities in need with economic development, sensible criminal justice reform, poverty reduction, healthcare, education, workforce housing, charter schools, and more.
I have done the same at Pershing Square Capital Management when, for example, we completed one of the largest IPOs ever with the substantive assistance of a number of minority-owned, women-owned, and Veteran-owned investment banks. Prior to the Pershing Square Tontine, Ltd. IPO, it was standard practice for big corporations occasionally to name a few minority-owned banks in their equity and bond offerings, have these banks do no work and sell only a de minimis amount of stock or bonds, and allocate to them only 1% or less of the underwriting fees so that the issuers could virtue signal that they were helping minority communities.
In our IPO, we invited the smaller banks into the deal from the beginning of the process so they could add real value. As a result, the Tontine IPO was one of the largest and most successful IPOs in history with $12 billion of demand for a $4 billion deal by the second day of the IPO, when we closed the books. The small banks earned their 20% share of the fees for delivering real and substantive value and for selling their share of the stock.
Compare this approach to the traditional one where the small banks do effectively nothing to earn their fees – they aren’t given that opportunity – yet, they get a cut of the deal, albeit a tiny one. The traditional approach does not create value for anyone. It only creates resentment, and an uncomfortable feeling from the small banks who get a tiny piece of the deal in a particularly bad form of affirmative action.
While I don’t think our approach to working with the smaller banks has yet achieved the significant traction it deserves, it will hopefully happen eventually as the smaller banks build their competencies and continue to earn their fees, and other issuers see the merit of this approach. We are going to need assistance with a large IPO soon so we are looking forward to working with our favored smaller banks.
I have always believed in giving disadvantaged groups a helping hand. I signed the Giving Pledge for this reason. My life plan by the time I was 18 was to be successful and then return the favor to those less fortunate. This always seemed to the right thing to do, in particular, for someone as fortunate as I am.
All of the above said, it is one thing to give disadvantaged people the opportunities and resources so that they can help themselves. It is another to select a candidate for admission or for a leadership role when they are not qualified to serve in that role.
This appears to have been the case with former President Gay’s selection. She did not possess the leadership skills to serve as Harvard’s president, putting aside any questions about her academic credentials. This became apparent shortly after October 7th, but there were many signs before then when she was Dean of the faculty.
The result was a disaster for Harvard and for Claudine Gay.
The Harvard board should not have run a search process which had a predetermined objective of only hiring a DEI-approved candidate. In any case, there are many incredibly talented black men and women who could have been selected by Harvard to serve as its president so why did the Harvard Corporation board choose Gay?
One can only speculate without knowing all of the facts, but it appears Gay’s leadership in the creation of Harvard’s Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging and the penetration of the DEI ideology into the Corporation board room perhaps made Gay the favored candidate. The search was also done at a time when many other top universities had similar DEI-favored candidate searches underway for their presidents, reducing the number of potential candidates available in light of the increased competition for talent.
"Some folks see this as “too little, too late,” because most of the jabs have already entered arms, and jab uptake is now dwindling to embarrassingly-low levels. But that’s not the point."
YES, it *is* the point. This should have been done long ago, and so much harm, misery, and death would have been avoided. Shame on all of our public officials. None of them have done nearly enough.
The burden of proof should have always been on the manufacturers. It was easy for us to show they couldn't prove safety, because studies were not completed before the toxic products were rolled out to the public - and studies were not adequately designed to begin with.
I was thinking about all I knew who were compliant and without thought took the shots just so they could travel. British airways crew and passengers all witnessed or found out about the 2 deaths and understood what happened. They aren't ready to admit the enormity of the mistake they made getting the vaxx. So far 2024 has been carnage for all the illnesses, cancers and deaths - to the vaxxed. 😔😒
There were never any genotoxicty nor cancer studies in the original trial, just what was done in the past, never to see the light of day in the COVID shot trials
The story of Jeffrey Epstein is much more complex and much more relevant to the cause of most C&C readers than the salacious, tawdry, ghastly and cruelty of what makes the news. And, I believe, that is by design. The most important story of Jeffrey Epstein that is only given passing reference to is his connection to the live and thriving industry and public policymaking of Eugenics. Master race type stuff. Man's futile and cruel attempts at perfecting God's perfect creation.
Socialism and Eugenics go hand-in-hand. The need for an elite class of man to rule over his lesser and less fortunate masses of lower classes. Castes. Monarchs. All the same, those with power declaring themselves cut from a finer cloth of man than those without, who's only obligation to the lower castes, classes is that of good stewardship, as a sheep herder tends to his flock that sometimes needs to be culled. Socialism, as Churchill said, being best at sharing misery equally among the masses.
Epstein was an ardent Eugenicist. It's what drove his sexual exploitation along with those around him, supporting him. Epstein saved his sperm in labs in order to impregnate as many women as he could who fit his idea of the perfect genetic fit for his sperm. His targets were young women recently passing into puberty who could act as his baby factories. He wanted hundreds, thousands of his progeny to populate the planet. Was an admirer of Genghis Khan for his large contributions to the human gene pool.
His most frequent visitors were brilliant scientists, evolutionary genetic design, viral evolution, game theory mathematics, the biological sciences, microbiological sciences, computer sciences, AI, climate science, geoengineering, senior corporate executives, political leaders, propaganda and psychology - he himself became so proficient a hobbyist at psychology that he was brought on to teach psychology as a professor at Harvard, lacking any formal education in the field. And this was while he was funding leading eugenics researchers, like George Church at Harvard and other cohorts at nearby MIT.
That was the brains side of his ideal gene pool. On the looks side his most frequent visitors were supermodels, singers, actresses, other beautiful and glamorous starlets. His goal was to develop the best looking, smartest directed genetic design population possible, which he believed he was an essential part of. The AI revolution, transhumanism, social credit systems, all of these hazards we see ahead were desirable components of a future he was working towards. And was helping to build. The pandemic itself, mandates and protocols it set off were within the bailiwick of his research and network connections he was in the center of building. There's no way his work, when you look at who was in his long-ago released little black book was a coincidence to what we see being radically transformed across the globe. And I submit to readers who choose to research those names in his little black book (not the court case depositions being re-released today) that the real reason Epstein didn't kill himself has less to do with the sexual violations and depredations against minors, and more to do with his connection to the Fascist/Marxist/Oligarch/Technocrat attempted takeover of mankind we are attempting to fight against today. The sex aspect of the Epstein story is a distraction from the real threat that his loose lips posed to the real agendas of the powerful sociopaths attacking humanity today.
His life was also inextricably linked to the lives of our very real oppressors today, the ones who are seeking to exterminate most of humanity and leave the rest behind in a dystopian future serving a master race. The very same people who hate Deplorables, Bitter Clingers, Ultra MAGA for daring to stand against them, their nightmarish dreams.
(This contains some opinions in it that are distasteful for many, including me, anti-Semitic. It portrays Donald Trump in a poor way, along with the Clinton's, Rothchild's, Kissinger and many other familiar, powerful names. So if you're pulling for one team or another there's something to like and hate in it. It is what it is, take what serves you, discard what doesn't.)
In lengthy comments I need to split below is a beginning primer of research on exactly who is in Epstein's Little Black Book. Spot the patterns for yourself if you take the time to read through this. And note that this big dump of information I excerpted from much, much more information. It's a big, big research project to dive into, I've been on an extended break from it after pushing through this much back in August, 2023.
"John Brockman (born February 16, 1941) is an American literary agent and author specializing in scientific literature. He established the Edge Foundation, an organization that brings together leading edge thinkers across a broad range of scientific and technical fields.
He led a scientific salon for 20 years, asking an annual question to a host of renowned scientists and publishing their answers in book form,[3] which he decided to symbolically close down in 2018.[4]
In an interview with Prince Andrew dated November 17, 2019, BBC reporter Emily Maitlis mentioned that both Andrew and John Brockman attended an intimate dinner at child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion to celebrate Epstein’s release from prison for charges which stemmed from at least one decade of child sex trafficking.[7]
Andrew’s presence at Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan mansion was corroborated by Brockman himself, in emails published in an October 2019 New Republic report. The story suggested that Brockman was the “intellectual enabler” of Jeffrey Epstein, the financier who died in August 2019 while again awaiting trial on charges related to sex trafficking.[8]"
"Gerald Maurice Edelman (/ˈɛdəlmən/; July 1, 1929 – May 17, 2014) was an American biologist who shared the 1972 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for work with Rodney Robert Porter on the immune system.[1] Edelman's Nobel Prize-winning research concerned discovery of the structure of antibody molecules.[2] In interviews, he has said that the way the components of the immune system evolve over the life of the individual is analogous to the way the components of the brain evolve in a lifetime. There is a continuity in this way between his work on the immune system, for which he won the Nobel Prize, and his later work in neuroscience and in philosophy of mind."
"Murray Gell-Mann (/ˈmʌri ˈɡɛl ˈmæn/; September 15, 1929 – May 24, 2019)[3][4][5] was an American physicist who played a preeminent role in the development of the theory of elementary particles. Gell-Mann introduced the concept of quarks as the fundamental building blocks of the strongly interacting particles, and the renormalization group as a foundational element of quantum field theory and statistical mechanics.
Gell-Mann spent several periods at CERN, a nuclear research facility in Switzerland, among others as a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellow in 1972.[27][28]
As a humanist and an agnostic, Gell-Mann was a Humanist Laureate in the International Academy of Humanism
In 1984 Gell-Mann was one of several co-founders of the Santa Fe Institute—a non-profit theoretical research institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico intended to study various aspects of a complex system and disseminate the notion of a separate interdisciplinary study of complexity theory

"Stephen Michael Kosslyn (born 1948) is an American psychologist and neuroscientist. Kosslyn is best known for his work on visual cognition and the science of learning. Kosslyn currently serves as the president of Active Learning Sciences Inc., which helps institutions design active-learning based courses and educational programs. He is also the founder and chief academic officer of Foundry College, an online two-year college.[1]
Kosslyn attended graduate school at Stanford University and received a PhD in psychology from Stanford in 1974.[2] After an appointment as assistant professor of psychology at Johns Hopkins, he joined the faculty at Harvard in 1977, where he is currently listed as Professor Emeritus.[3] At Harvard, Kosslyn served as the departmental chair, Dean of Social Sciences, and the John Lindsley Professor. He also was co-director of the Mind of the Market Lab at Harvard Business School and was an associate in the department of neurology at the Massachusetts General Hospital. In 2010, Kosslyn was appointed director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University.[4] Kosslyn was then the Founding Dean and Chief Academic Officer of the Minerva Schools (now Minerva University).
Between 1998 and 2002, Kosslyn received $200,000 in donations from Jeffrey Epstein for his research.[5][6] A report from Harvard University shows Kosslyn had known Epstein for about nine years and supported his application as a visiting fellow in the department of psychology in September 2005.[5][7] The report concluded that Kosslyn did not disclose Epstein's donations in the accompanying documents. Epstein "lacked academic qualifications," but there was speculation that his application was approved with the support of Kosslyn as the head of the department.[5][8] The report also noted that disclosure was not requested and Harvard—having accepted the gifts—was previously aware of this funding. Epstein withdrew from his appointment in 2006 following his arrest for sex criminal offenses. Kosslyn has published over 350 scientific papers and written or co-authored 15 books and edited or co-edited 13 books, including:[10]"
"Lawrence Maxwell Krauss (born May 27, 1954) is an American theoretical physicist and cosmologist who previously taught at Arizona State University, Yale University, and Case Western Reserve University. He founded ASU's Origins Project in 2008 to investigate fundamental questions about the universe and served as the project's director.
Krauss is an advocate for public understanding of science, public policy based on sound empirical data, scientific skepticism, and science education. An anti-theist, Krauss seeks to reduce the influence of what he regards as superstition and religious dogma in popular culture.[2]
Krauss has described himself as an antitheist[39] and takes part in public debates on religion. Krauss is featured in the 2013 documentary The Unbelievers, in which he and Richard Dawkins travel across the globe speaking publicly about the importance of science and reason as opposed to religion and superstition.[40] He has participated in many debates with religious apologists, including William Lane Craig[41] and John Lennox.[42]
In his book A Universe from Nothing: Why There is Something Rather than Nothing (2012), Krauss discusses the premise that something cannot come from nothing, which has often been used as an argument for the existence of a prime mover. He has since argued in a debate with John Ellis and Don Cupitt that the laws of physics allow for the Universe to be created from nothing. "What would be the characteristics of a universe that was created from nothing, just with the laws of physics and without any supernatural shenanigans? The characteristics of the universe would be precisely those of the ones we live in."[43] In an interview with The Atlantic, however, he states that he has never claimed that "questions about origins are over". According to Krauss, "I don't ever claim to resolve that infinite regress of why-why-why-why-why; as far as I'm concerned it's turtles all the way down".[44]
With the publication of his book, The Physics of Climate Change (2021), Krauss urged the use of science, and not politics, ideology, or emotion, to steer the public debate on how to address climate change.[45]"
"Marvin Lee Minsky (August 9, 1927 – January 24, 2016) was an American cognitive and computer scientist concerned largely with research of artificial intelligence (AI), co-founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's AI laboratory, and author of several texts concerning AI and philosophy.[12][13][14][15]
Minsky received many accolades and honors, including the 1969 Turing Award.
His doctoral dissertation was titled "Theory of neural-analog reinforcement systems and its application to the brain-model problem."[18][19][20] He was a Junior Fellow of the Harvard Society of Fellows from 1954 to 1957.[21][22]
He was on the MIT faculty from 1958 to his death. He joined the staff at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in 1958, and a year later he and John McCarthy initiated what is, as of 2019, named the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.[23][24] He was the Toshiba Professor of Media Arts and Sciences, and professor of electrical engineering and computer science.
In the early 1970s, at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab, Minsky and Papert started developing what came to be known as the Society of Mind theory. The theory attempts to explain how what we call intelligence could be a product of the interaction of non-intelligent parts. Minsky says that the biggest source of ideas about the theory came from his work in trying to create a machine that uses a robotic arm, a video camera, and a computer to build with children's blocks. In 1986, Minsky published The Society of Mind, a comprehensive book on the theory which, unlike most of his previously published work, was written for the general public.
Minsky was an atheist.[37] He was a signatory to the Scientists' Open Letter on Cryonics.[38]"
"Steven Arthur Pinker (born September 18, 1954)[2][3] is a Canadian-American cognitive psychologist, psycholinguist, popular science author, and public intellectual. He is an advocate of evolutionary psychology and the computational theory of mind.[4][5][6][7]
Pinker is the Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, and his academic specializations are visual cognition and developmental linguistics. His experimental subjects include mental imagery, shape recognition, visual attention, children's language development, regular and irregular phenomena in language, the neural bases of words and grammar, as well as the psychology of cooperation and communication, including euphemism, innuendo, emotional expression, and common knowledge.
Pinker's book The Better Angels of Our Nature (2011) posits that violence in human societies has generally declined over time, and identifies six major trends and five historical forces of this decline, the most important being the humanitarian revolution brought by the Enlightenment and its associated cultivation of reason. Enlightenment Now (2018) further argues that the human condition has generally improved over recent history because of reason, science, and humanism. The nature and importance of reason is also discussed in his next book Rationality: What It Is, Why It Seems Scarce, Why It Matters (2021).
In 2004, Pinker was named in Time's "The 100 Most Influential People in the World Today", and in the years 2005, 2008, 2010, and 2011 in Foreign Policy's list of "Top 100 Global Thinkers".[9] Pinker was also included in Prospect Magazine's top 10 "World Thinkers" in 2013.[10] He has won awards from the American Psychological Association, the National Academy of Sciences, the Royal Institution, the Cognitive Neuroscience Society, and the American Humanist Association."
"Robert Ludlow "Bob" Trivers (/ˈtrɪvərz/; born February 19, 1943) is an American evolutionary biologist and sociobiologist. Trivers proposed the theories of reciprocal altruism (1971), parental investment (1972), facultative sex ratio determination (1973), and parent–offspring conflict (1974). He has also contributed by explaining self-deception as an adaptive evolutionary strategy (first described in 1976) and discussing intragenomic conflict.[2]
Trivers was awarded the 2007 Crafoord Prize in Biosciences for "his fundamental analysis of social evolution, conflict and cooperation".[6][7]
Trivers met Huey P. Newton, Chairman of the Black Panther Party, in 1978 when Newton applied while in prison to do a reading course with Trivers as part of a graduate degree in History of Consciousness at UC Santa Cruz.[8] Trivers and Newton became close friends: Newton was godfather to one of Trivers's daughters.[9] Trivers joined the Black Panther Party in 1979.[10] Trivers and Newton published an analysis of the role of self-deception by the flight crew in the crash of Air Florida Flight 90.[11] Trivers was "ex-communicated" from the Panthers by Newton in 1982 for "his own good."[12]
Trivers wrote the original foreword to Richard Dawkins' book The Selfish Gene, in which Trivers first proposed his adaptive theory of self-deception. In the 2006 anniversary edition of The Selfish Gene, Dawkins wrote a new introduction in which he stated
Influence
Trivers is among the most influential evolutionary theorists alive today.[15] Steven Pinker considers Trivers to be "one of the great thinkers in the history of Western thought", who has:[16]
...inspired an astonishing amount of research and commentary in psychology and biology—the fields of sociobiology, evolutionary psychology, Darwinian social science, and behavioral ecology are in large part attempt to test and flesh out Trivers's ideas. It is no coincidence that E. O. Wilson's Sociobiology and Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene were published in 1975 and 1976 respectively, just a few years after Trivers's seminal papers. Both bestselling authors openly acknowledged that they were popularizing Trivers's ideas and the research they spawned. Likewise for the much-talked-about books on evolutionary psychology in the 1990s—The Adapted Mind, The Red Queen, Born to Rebel, The Origins of Virtue, The Moral Animal, and my own How the Mind Works. Each of these books is based in large part on Trivers's ideas and the explosion of research they inspired, involving dozens of animal species, mathematical and computer modeling, and human social and cognitive psychology.
Trivers believes that girls mature earlier than in the past. He writes “By the time they’re 14 or 15, they’re like grown women were 60 years ago."
Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University was set up in the 1950's with funding from mostly the CIA to study first how to screen people who could be hypnotized fast (about 30% of humans), who could be hypnotized using mental deplatforming drugs like LSD and heroin (about 60%), and who could not (about 10%). They figured out which frequencies from radio waves to physical movements such as the opening and closing of a hypnotist's hand in front of a face or a swinging watch could hypnotize susceptible people fast.
CASBS was (and still is) a leading academic USA federal contractor which ran the mind 1960's mind control drug experiments detailed obliquely in Ken Kesey's novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest at the Menlo Park and Palo Alto Veterans Administration hospitals. No informed patient consent for those human medical guinea pigs all in the name of fighting the Cold War and ever more black budget funding naturally. A massive 5(+)G tower is at CASBS today, easily visible when the campus golf course street's gate to CASBS is open.
FWIW, "Brave New World" British author Aldous Huxley first experimented with LSD at Stanford right as the CASBS was firing up. His ideal "soma" fictional drug to control the masses while all babies were grown in test tubes was his pipe dream of how to ensure world peace. He never had children of his own. Lived most of his life as a closet homosexual who committed suicide with a deliberate overdose of LSD at his California home below the "HOLLYWOOD" sign. The USA, UK and Canada were all neck deep in the last decade of his life messing with mind control research on individuals and the mass media.
Aldous' brother Julian was the first director of UNESCO. His brother Andrew got a Nobel Prize for work on nerve cells.
Yep, Epstein BFF Stephen Kosslyn in comment above led it, too. Joe Pagano in comment below invested in PCR testing technology, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, human genome (genetics/eugenics) tech, the Epstein story is a very complex, interconnected, hub of activity that connects many of the seemingly independent strings pulling at our global society together. The sex with kids focus serves the purpose of diverting attention from the more important Epstein connections we should be making.
And when you see someone described as a "Humanist" know that that word is generally a euphemism for Atheist, Socialist and Eugenicist.

After Microsoft, in 2000 Myhrvold co-founded Intellectual Ventures,[12] a patent portfolio developer and broker in the areas of technology and energy, which has acquired over 30,000 patents.[13] Intellectual Ventures takes part in the market for inventions and patents, buying patents from companies and inventors under the assumption the patents will be more valuable in the future. IV also files patents through the work of a team of on-site inventors. Startup companies spun out of IV, including TerraPower, Kymeta, Echodyne, Modern Electron, Lumotive, Evolv Technology, and Pivotal Commware, have developed commercial products from IV's inventions. Through its Global Good unit, which Myhrvold founded in collaboration with Bill Gates, IV has also invented and produced commercial products, such as improved vaccine coolers and milking cans, aimed at low-income markets in Africa and Asia.[14] However, in most cases, IV's inventions are limited to the descriptions provided in their patents, which are bundled into portfolios for licensing.
Advocacy
In interviews with CNN, SuperFreakonomics author Stephen Dubner, and Scientific American, Myhrvold has discussed ways to reverse some of the effects of global warming/climate change by using geoengineering.[54] Myhrvold and other inventors working with Intellectual Ventures have proposed several approaches, including one that would use hoses, suspended from helium balloons 25 kilometers (16 mi) above the Earth at high latitudes, to emit sulfur dioxide, which is known to scatter light.
Science
In addition to his business activities, Myhrvold is a working scientist who has published original, peer-reviewed research in the fields of paleobiology,[22] climate science,[23] and astronomy.[24] A prize-winning nature and wildlife photographer, he has also been involved with paleontological research on expeditions with the Museum of the Rockies. His work has appeared in scientific journals including Science,[25] Nature,[26] Paleobiology,[27] PLOS One,[28] and the Physical Review,[29] as well as in Fortune, Time, Scientific American,[30][31] National Geographic Traveler, and Slate. He and Peter Rinearson helped Bill Gates write The Road Ahead, a book about the future that reached No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list in 1995 and 1996. Myhrvold has contributed $1 million to the nonprofit SETI Institute in Mountain View, CA, for the development of the Allen Telescope Array, which was envisioned to be the most powerful instrument for SETI.[32]
Personal life
Myhrvold is married to Rosemarie Havranek, whom he met while studying at Princeton. They have twin sons, Conor and Cameron A. Myhrvold.[67][68] Cameron heads a lab researching CRISPR-based technologies for studying RNA as an assistant professor of molecular biology at Princeton University.[69
In 2009, Intellectual Ventures launched a prototyping and research laboratory, Intellectual Ventures Lab, hiring scientists to imagine inventions which could exist but do not yet exist, and then filing descriptions of these inventions with the US Patent Office. Notable participants include Robert Langer of MIT, Leroy Hood of the Institute for Systems Biology, Ed Harlow of Harvard Medical School, Bran Ferren and Danny Hillis of Applied Minds, and Sir John Pendry of Imperial College.[citation needed] The Sunday Times reported that the company applies for about 450 patents per year, in areas from vaccine research to optical computing and, as of May 2010, 91 of the applications had been approved.[12] Internally developed inventions include a safer nuclear reactor design (which won the MIT Technology Review Top 10 Emerging Technologies in 2009) that can use uranium waste as fuel or thorium which is plentiful and poses no proliferation risk,[13] a mosquito-targeting laser,[14] and a series of computer models of infectious disease.[15]
Their efforts to promote a method to reverse or reduce the effects of global climate change by artificially recreating the conditions from the aftermath of a volcanic eruption gained media coverage following the release of the book SuperFreakonomics, whose chapter about global warming proposes that the global climate can be regulated by geo-engineering of a stratoshield[16] based upon patented technology from the company.[17] The chapter has been criticized by some economists and climate science experts who say it contains numerous misleading statements and discredited arguments, including this presentation of geoengineering as a replacement for CO2 emissions reduction. Among the critics are Paul Krugman,[18] Brad DeLong,[19] The Guardian,[20] and The Economist.[21] Elizabeth Kolbert, a science writer for The New Yorker who has written extensively on global warming, contends that "just about everything they [Levitt and Dubner] have to say on the topic is, factually speaking, wrong."[22] In response, Levitt and Dubner have stated on their Freakonomics blog that global warming is man-made and an important issue. They warn against claims of an inevitable doomsday; instead they look to raise awareness of less traditional or popular, methods to tackle the potential problem of global warming.[23]
Global Good
Global Good was a not-for-profit collaboration between the firm and the Gates family, to develop solutions for pressing problems in the developing world. Its technologies included:
Arktek, a passive vaccine storage device that allows vaccines to be transported to parts of the world that lack reliable refrigeration. It uses a small amount of ice for cooling and requires no external power supply, relying on extraordinary insulation.[25] The device has been used to transport vaccines around the world, and Myhrvold believes the device may be useful for transporting organs. The firm produced a modified version of the Arktek to transport newly developed Ebola vaccines to Sierra Leone and Guinea during the 2014 Ebola outbreak at the required much colder temperature.[26]
The Photonic Fence is a device to identify and kill mosquitos with lasers to prevent malaria, suggested by Lowell Wood, a company researcher. The device uses a non-lethal laser to track insects and monitor their wing-beat frequency. If it detects a female mosquito, the device fires a kill laser. It has an effective range of 100 feet and can purportedly kill up to 100 mosquitoes per second. The device has not yet been mass-produced,.[27]
The Autoscope uses artificial intelligence to diagnose malaria. The device has been field-tested in Thailand and reportedly outperformed the average human diagnostician. It too is not yet scheduled for mass-production.[28]
Mazzi is a milk jug designed for farmers in the developing world. The firm partnered with Heifer International to design the jug, which is cheap, sturdy, and easy to clean with features a funnel that results in decreased spillage.
In mid-2020, Global Good was dismantled, with some of its components (most notably the Institute for Disease Modeling) transitioning into the Gates Foundation, and some evolving into new entities under Gates Ventures.[29]
The company has been accused of hiding behind shell companies for earlier lawsuits,[39] an accusation consistent with the findings of NPR's Planet Money in July 2011.[40] The episode, which also aired as the This American Life episode "When Patents Attack",[41] was dedicated to software patents, prominently featuring Intellectual Ventures. It includes sources accusing Intellectual Ventures of pursuing a strategy encouraging mutually assured destruction, including Chris Sacca calling Myhrvold's argument that Intellectual Ventures is offering protection from lawsuits in a "mafia-style shakedown".[42] However, the firm's internal research, development, and commercialization activities have softened this image."
"Joe Pagano, an Aspen-based venture capitalist, who has known Epstein since before his Bear Stearns days, can’t say enough nice things: “I have a boy who’s dyslexic, and Jeffrey’s gotten close to him over the years…. Jeffrey got him into music. He bought him his first piano. And then as he got to school he had difficulty … in studying … so Jeffrey got him interested in taking flying lessons.”

The product line includes various subbrands of biotechnology products, such as machines and consumables for polymerase chain reaction, reverse transcription, cloning, culturing, stem cell production, cell therapy, regenerative medicine, immunotherapy, transfection, DNA/RNA purification, diagnostic tests, antibodies, and immunoassays.
In 2008, Invitrogen virtually doubled its size with the purchase of biotech instrumentation company Applied Biosystems, maker of DNA sequencing and PCR machines and reagents. The company then renamed the overall organization as Life Technologies. The Invitrogen brand and most of the brands acquired still exist on product packaging, although the overall company is called Life Technologies. In summer 2010, the company acquired the computer chip DNA sequencing company Ion Torrent Systems. Through this history of acquisitions and continued product research and development, Invitrogen / Life Technologies had over 50,000 products.
Innovation and impact
Under a contract from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), the company developed a prototype hand-held pathogen detection system for the detection of multiple toxins such as ricin, staphylococcal enterotoxin, and botulinum toxin, as well as bacteria that cause anthrax, plague, and other diseases, in a single sample.[4] Invitrogen was also awarded a contract to provide kits for detecting possible E. coli O157 contamination in food at the 2008 Summer Olympcics in Beijing, China.[citation needed] The monitoring program, based on World Health Organization food standards, is conducted by the Beijing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Olympic Food Safety program. Similarly, the company's PathAlert technology was selected to monitor Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of the plague, at the Torino Winter Games in 2006. Their Qubit platform for RNA, DNA, and protein quantitation was awarded an R&D 100 Award as being a "Top 100 Technologically Significant New Product" by R&D Magazine.[5]

Epstein did even more financial crime then he did Honey pot sex slavery. He was a Mossad asset. Between his efforts snd AIPAC, our congress and presidents are almost all controlled by a foreign government, that has gotten us into numerous pointless and evil wars.
A foreign government? Look deeper, grasshopper. That is a US government proxy. So is Hamas. The money changers and arms merchants are of and profit from all sides in any and all conflicts. The divisions you speak of serve to divide us, distract from the true powers and blue bloods. Most of whom aren't Jewish. If you could see through your biases you'd see the big picture more clearly, grasshopper.
The facts are the facts. Israel controls congress and the Whitehouse. We are being taxed without representation. Netanyahu has spoken about how easily Americans are controlled. We need to root out this foreign influence from our government by refusing to elect any Zionists or Zionist-controlled candidates. Biden has been bribed to the tune of $10 million dollars, look how they threaten those in office who dare speak out against their crimes with funding candidates to run against them, pledging $100 million to sway our election, and not a word of protest from the Russia gate crowd or anyone else. Blood thirsty Hillary is second on their list of most bribed, and Billy’s proclivities for very young girls gave them the leverage there. Notice how formerly rational RFK Jr. fell right in line, saying the most outrageous lies about Gaza and Israel. This dog is being thoroughly wagged by it’s Israeli tail.
Fixing it for you: "Congress and the White House controls Israel. Netanyahu speaks of Americans easily being controlled...as he is easily controlled by America, the UK and the global corporate oligarchies...as he easily controls Israelis. The most heavily vaxxed, surveilled citizens in the world (move over China).
Clinton, Biden, McConnell, Rockefeller, House of Windsor, Carnegie, Gates, Pelosi, Pope Francis, Trudeau, Macron, Hitler, Mao, Stalin, et al - all Jewish? Every last one of them were/are funded by, responsive to the same cabal of even more concealed interests. That aren't homogeneously Jewish.
That's a false divide that those who fall into become weakened and non-threatening to the real powers. The whole "Jews run everything" canard is an example of how easily Americans and Europeans are controlled. It's a pen laser the true cabal points in front of a cat that gets the cat to pounce on all it over a room it's pointed in. Don't be a cat chasing a laser dot aimed by your masters. Don't be easily controlled.
Completely illogical. Why would they spend all that money sponsoring Epstein and buying our politicians? Why an entire division of their military as keyboard warriors pushing their lies? Our government are the willing or coerced servants of the corrupt Israeli genocidal regime. It is leading to the downfall of our nation. The entire world rightfully blames US for sponsoring a most brutal and utterly corrupt and mentally deranged regime there.
You have eyes, Debbie. That just need to be opened wider and let the prism filter between them and the world as it really exists drop away. That prism filter is Jew hate. That blinds, warps reality. Planted there long ago by the same forces you decry.
The US/UK, et al sponsor Israel...and Hamas. The US/UK, et al sponsored Hitler...and Stalin - at the same time we were fighting them! The Bush's made their family fortune as Hitler's banker (working with Rockefeller) so German planes, tanks, bombs and bullets would kill American and British boys from "flyover country." Dulles and other American Fascists - a huge movement in the wealthy and powerful classes - weren't Jewish. What ALL of these people are, regardless of ethnicity, faith, are eugenicists. From an upper class that believes they are generitically superior, others are genetically inferior, and disposable at will. Like Nimrata Kaur Randhawa, aka Nikki Haley. A Brahmin class Indian.
Genetics...eugenics. This evil, that which Epstein and those around him were/are immersed in and subjecting the rest of us to. And to blame/hate others on the basis of their genetics is to become as guilty of evil as they are. Don't fall into their trap of lazy Jew/Zionist hate. They want you to make the same leap into evil that they've made. Be better.
I definitely agree that the Israeli government (and all governments in fact) is servant rather than master. However I'm not sure that you are correct that "most" of the true powers aren't Jewish.
As far as I can tell, the true powers operate through Luciferian secret societies - and they infiltrate and take over existing power structures. There have been many such societies over the centuries - although perhaps they are the same society simply changing its appearance to avoid detection - but I think that Judaism was infiltrated millenia ago, and is itself the oldest such society still in existence.
The heart of darkness seems to be the Rothschild family - and they have undoubtedly infiltrated the British establishment and arguably have been the power behind the throne of the British empire since before it was an empire.
Are the Rothschilds Jewish or British? I suppose you could argue that either way, but
(1) they were surely an occult power manipulating events for their own purposes before they ever set foot in Britain
(2) many of their closest allies are their co-religionists, banking families with whom they have mainatined alliances for centuries
(3) their British empire associates - Rhodes, Milner and the round table, and the Fabian society - would likely be very unhappy with the modern day results of their labors. I would suggest that these men were duped in classic occult society fashion - seduced into cooperation by a noble vision while the seducers maintained a very different vision to which end the laborers willingly devoted their efforts, never realizing the end to which they were actually working.
I have as much confidence in anything of real significance being levied against any of Epstein’s compadres as I do with the medical cartel plandemic conspirators….which is to say none at all. I understand that the scuzzball Fauci will be making an appearance to face yet more “tough questions” from Senate members in February. Said scuzzball, having had months to construct new meanings for: vaccine, vaccine injury, death, inoculation, gain of function, release, bat, beagle, you, me, and they should be at his lying ass best. Keep your peepers peeled for moderate to severe nose growth. It’s a tell. (Would someone - preferably several bodyguards - PLEASE escort Dr. David Martin to this makeshift inquisition? We might have this wrapped up before lunch). Who knows, maybe this time they'll be handing out backbones at the front door. Not holding my breath.
Agree that no one will be held accountable, as we have seen over and over. The despicable and demonic Sackler family? No jail. Merck execs killing people with Vioxx? No jail. People fruitlessness pining for Nuremburg 2.0 will yet again be disappointed.
However, we have made huge strides in the court of public opinion. Everyone knows who Epstein is and the idea he killed himself is openly ridiculed. The notion that our leaders are compromised perverts, slaves to the US and foreign intelligence services went from insane Alex Jones' ravings to being widely believed. Public Health and Pharma are now ignored as shown by the crash in vaccine uptake despite constant fear-mongering.
It's not what we hoped for, but it's better than nothing and a step in the right direction. These people lose their power when they are openly mocked as lying SOBs rather than taken seriously.
“The notion that our leaders are compromised perverts”
Speaking of which, I just saw a giant sign in somebody’s lawn on the way to my run this morning. The sign said “Our politicians are pedophiles.” I was floored that someone would make and display such a sign!
🙌 🙌 Maybe courage is finally crawling out from under the rock of 2020 and showings its muscles! When most of America will stand up and make a stand and speak truth we will have succeeded in saving America from those pedophiles.
FYI - If you try to type the word pedophile on your devices you will get ZERO spelling “suggestions”. It’s not accidental. There are specific words they left out on purpose. Why? Good question. But I think we already know the answer.
They also don't "suggest" words like s***, f***, c*** and assorted other "four-letter words". My guess would be that pedo is also on the "naughty words list", rather than going for a conspiracy.
Except why would a legit word be excluded? It isn’t a four letter foul swear word. 🤷♀️ It’s only “naughty” for the people being “naughty”.
Well, "poop" and "boobs" are also legit words (at least in colloquial usage), but my phone doesn't suggest them - I presume because it only default to "polite" words lest it offend someone.
I just looked this up and it seems that the a is for Commonwealth countries so perhaps it would only suggest if you had UK spell check settings.
Thank you for sharing what you saw. I don't think like that but I do like the idea. Even better, signs are getting more affordable.
You’re welcome! I was pretty astonished to see that, for sure! I thought kudos to the person who dared put up that sign! It’s on a very busy road too!
Surely, there is a great reveal in process, albeit piecemeal and at a snails pace. With that, it's easy to confuse "activity" with "accomplishment." Nuremberg trials were a dog and pony show. (24 total, wasn't it?) The U.S. employed/recruited/saved around 1,600 Nazi scientists in order to stay ahead of Russia. Operation Paperclip. https://www.history.com/news/what-was-operation-paperclip
German ingenuity took us to infinity and beyond.
If we could round up even a handful of the most egregious elements comprising the plandemic cartel and suffer them the same fate.....well, I guess that would have to suffice. Interestingly, a few of those Nazi's on trial committed suicide. A pittance compared to the mayhem. I'm all for it.
It’s a shame I never heard of Paperclip until well into my middle adulthood. 😡
Same, I just learned of it in 2020. This SHOULD be in the history books!
It likely was in the history books we geezers used ... but was woke'd out in a purge of hurtful, unpleasant and potentially rayciss facts sometime during the past two decades.
Well I hated history back in the day, so if it was taught I probably missed it. It wasn't til my daughter's interest in history from the time she was young, that then piqued my interest that I really started digging into it.
I don’t think it was ever in the history books. They brought them here for nefarious purposes and it was always intended to be a kept from the people.
Did you know about the trans movement in Weimar Germany? Did you know what a cesspool had Berlin become? It was home to nearly 80 homosexual bars and as many as 30 or so lesbian bars. Drugs, prostitution, transvestites, child sex trafficking. It also became the home of The Institute for Sexual Research, the first "trans clinic" where the first transsexual mutilation surgery took place.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-forgotten-history-of-the-worlds-first-trans-clinic/
When the Third Reich came into power, they put an end to all of it -- and hard. They took the Institute's books depicting all of it -- and burned them.
Even less accountability for the war criminals from WW2's Imperial Japan. The Allies signed a peace treaty in San Francisco giving them a free pass on POW abuse from slave labor for zaibatsus to the despicable human biowarfare medical experiments on POWs at Unit 731 at Mukden, China. The USA has still not declassified all the documents it holds on Mukden. https://ahrp.org/guests-of-the-emperor-secret-history-of-japans-mukden-pow-camp/
Yup. The Japanese doctors were given a pass for their experiment results. Absolutely horrifying their medical experiments.
On the flip side, they're all dead by now, and I'm sure God has something to say to them about it.
It makes me feel better about all the starving children when I consider the possibility that they are the souls of the evil people in human history reincarnated
Yes, and they’ll understand Loud and Clear on Judgement Day!!!
Well, yes.
The Japs had a more advanced bio warfare program then the Nazis, so they got a free pass.
Tell me, were the shrunken heads, lamp shades and "human" soap as real to the Nuremberg trials as they are today?
The book Empire of Pain about the Sacklers and the start of Pharma advertising with “Pfizer” ( scumbag company for over 100 years) is a page turner. I highly recommend it. The Sacklers are the original “ Teflon”!
The TV series "Dopesick" is pretty good, too. It pretty much chronicles the corrupt deals, payoffs and blackmail between Purdue Pharma and the FDA. The series PainKiller highlights the young, cute drug reps role in conning the doctors to prescribe "their" drugs in exchange for expensive vacation trips and big cash bonuses based on ever-increasing quotas.
amen.
My 100% agreement with you Jeff. The strings being pulled in every direction I see are these: 1. Trump gets all the attention hasn't had to "campaign" 2. All the libs need to do is understand the attention he is getting proves to the world they are scared for their lives should he hold office again. 3. The "Epstein" card being played is like thier last hope. All cards played, the end is near for Regime Biden.
The Epstein pitch takes eyes off the Hunter ball.
1,000,000++%
Someone on Substack suggested yesterday that Trump is a plant. The Deep State brainwashed liberals to hate everything Trump stood for—even peace, things liberals once stood for. That was Trump’s purpose, according to the theory. He acted as a lightening rod to get liberals to support things like war.
I used to be 100% for Trump, but the jury is still out for me.
On Twitter yesterday the number of people who were posting pics of Biden and Obama saying, you know who isn't on the list. I replied to a few of them and said, yes because they get their supply from Ukraine.
Actually, some of the Sackler family did "suffer" financial repercussions and there is a multi-BILLION dollar settlement "temporarily stayed by a high court judge" that will require the Purdue Pharma corporation to be dismanatled and a new company called Knoa be created with none of the Sacklers involved in its operation or focus. They should be jailed--but that's not happening! https://www.insider.com/sackler-family-where-are-they-now-netflix-painkiller-2023-8
They should all be in prison. They knew exactly what was happening to people's lives but didn't care about anything but keeping OxyContin on the market for as long as possible.
Or public execution .
My preferred option. Can't even trust that these people serve their time and the sentence is never long enough.
Spot on!!
Let's face it: Congressional hearings and "oversight" committees are there only to create the illusion that "something is being done." This us-vs.them theater generates cash flow to both the R and D parties...which is the only reason they do it. If not for that, they frankly wouldn't pretend to care. At most, someone has to "resign" and instead quietly takes a high-paying job at a think tank or favored government contractor.
In the human trafficking oversight committees they regularly say in the reports that the UN is part of the problem. It's unbelievable that they are aware of this and still support the organization.
Well said! Including getting Dr. David Martin to this inquisition. Give him a speaking part.
Many people say he is a free mason and part of controlled opposition
Let him pose the questions!

“Keep your peepers peeled for moderate to severe nose growth.”
I recall vividly, having read a few articles in Daily Mail, a year or so ago, of Epstein flight attendants attesting to having had Bill Clinton on their flights to his island.
It seems that the Democrat playbook is strict in how he and Biden respond to any truthful allegations: "it is a lie", "it never happened ", " I was never there"...
In other words, just lie, and do it adamantly and always take the offensive, never be on the defensive to anyone!! Classic sociopath methods and tactics.
Naturally - he was "never on that flight", in the same way that he "never had sex with that woman".
I believe all of these "Special Committees" organized by the "uniparty" legislators are simply "political theatre"! No one is ever removed from a post or incarcerated for their misdeeds and crimes against humanity--it truly is a "circus event".
Why don't more politicians suspect an intelligence honeypot operation?
Because they're in on it.🤑
Not the ones who are blackmailed.
I think it's likely that so many people who speak out die, people who aren't in on it stay silent and then eventually leave politics.
🎯
Justice to Epstein compadres is as likely as anything about NASA to be true.
“But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.”
— Jesus, John 17:13-17 LSB
I’m asking for prayers today for our family. My stepdaughter has ovarian cancer and had a complete hysterectomy and bowel resection as the tumor was attached to her bowel in February. She’s had 8 rounds of chemotherapy and now immunotherapy. Her numbers continue to rise. Today she is having a PET SCAN to see if the cancer has spread. She just turned 40. We are concerned of course. She is not a believer and I pray she will come to know Jesus.
Lord, please intervene mightily in this situation. May all see Your power and know Your peace. Please rescue this soul and bring her into Your kingdom so that she experiences forgiveness and peace no matter what happens. Comfort, strengthen, and heal as You see fit. In Jesus’ name.
Janice, this is a beautiful prayer. It brought tears to my eyes. Would you mind if I incorporate this into my daily prayers?
Of course not. But I am sure whatever comes from your heart is just as meaningful. :)
I take comfort in what the Bible tells us about when we know not how to pray to the Creator God, the Holy Spirit INTERCEDES on our behalf with GROANINGS....words are sometimes superfluous!
Thank you and God bless you
Thank you and God bless you
Praying for your stepdaughter's healing and conversion. My prayer for 2024 is that this is the year of conversion for a lot of people. I am also praying for your family.
Amen to that!
I am sorry your family is facing this. If your stepdaughter is open to alternative treatments please search for the FB group Fenbendazole - cancer support group. The group offers encouraging alternative treatment.
The substack called ‘2nd smartest guy in the world’ has had a lot of info on fenbenzadole and its potential with cancer. Ivermectin too.
And I gave a link the other day on this as well, look into it!
Praying for her salvation and healing.
I’m so sorry. My stepsister died of this horrific disease in her late 30’s and suffered greatly. The worst part being no one caught it despite severe issues for over a year. I will add my prayers to yours that she may overcome. In the meantime please consider adding some “non-conventional “ treatments to those she’s getting as it seems as though there’s nothing to lose by trying? There are some really good sites regarding this on substack including but not limited to Veryvirology, Fenbendazole can cure Cancer, and 2nd Smartest Guy in the World. God bless you and yours.
I will pass on the information. Bless you

Case Report: Colon cancer, age 40, Female
Metastatic Colon Cancer, Dosage, Time-Frame
BEN FEN
20 OCT 2022
Fenbendazole Can Cure Cancer presents Case Reports of people who have treated their own cancers along with other articles to help understand how fenbendazole works. Previous articles covering other cancers are in the Archives link.
The following Case Report is Metastatic Colon Cancer, Dosage, Time-Frame and is the subheading used to index the article in the archives of this Substack (look for Archives link below).
The following email was received recently. It is cut and pasted below with a few Editor’s comments afterward.
I'm a forty-year old woman in good health who was diagnosed with colon cancer in November 2021. PET scans had shown that the liver was affected as well, which was confirmed by biopsy.
My prognosis was discouraging. I was told the one-year survival rate for my Stage 4 colon cancer was about 10%. The oncologist also said they could not cure me and told me I would have to remain on chemo from now on to keep the cancer in check. After surgery to remove the tumors in January 2022 I started chemotherapy using fluorouracil and capecitabine. Chemotherapy was accompanied by many adverse side effects that really made me sick (fatigue, bruising, hair loss, digestive issues). Most troublesome were mouth sores that made eating painful and difficult. Chemo was ineffective as I had to have another surgery and more chemo was necessary. After two more rounds of chemo but not surgery, the tumors returned and another new growth was seen on the left kidney. That was in April.
I read about fenbendazole and felt that I had nothing to lose. So I started in on May 5, 2022 with 2000 mg a day. About 8 scoops of the powder. I did split it into two 1000 mg doses. Within two weeks I did feel better but I wasn’t sure if it was wishful thinking. I was done with chemo, so now fenben was the only hope for me.
On Sept 9 I had a followup with my oncologist as well as a scan. The cancer was gone!
On Oct 9 I had another scan...cancer is still gone. I feel great and I know it was the fenben. My doctor says maybe the treatments took a longer time than usual to work but sure whatever!
I take 1000 mg per day now and I've never had anything resembling a side effect from fenben. Here's to keeping fingers crossed that my cancer stays away. My family was extremely supportive all the way plus the chemo just made me sick and didn't work. I plan on taking fenben to keep me healthy and cancer-free!
Looking forward to seeing my babies grow!
That's my story, let me know if you need anything else!
Amy T., Stockton, CA
Where/how does one get these high dosages of fenben. I’ve only seen it offered at 150mg per tablet.
Purchase the paste version and mix with glass of water to any dosage you'd require. Lots of literature out there. Maybe swing back through these comments as one single consideration and go to the fenbenzadole.substack.com website. Lots of helpful suggestions there.
Thank you for sharing. I'm passing this info along to a friend battling late stage cancer whose on palliative care now. Like you stated, what has he to lose...but sounds like he might gain much! Thanks again!
Please look at Tippens Protocol. Supplements etc and it may help her🙏💌and remember when 2 or 3 are gathered in His name✝️God bless & keep you!
Thank you
Just prayed!
Praying now!
Prayed just now.
We cured Mom’s stage 4, “incurable”, metastatic lung cancer in abt 28 days using a natural product called
by several names, including b l o o d r o o t paste or salve. I got most of mine from TWO FEATHERS HEALING SALVE in AZ. Ask for Robert. 775 324 4889 Very little pain involved. Only
Advil was required 2-3 times over the 28 day period. Follow his directions. He has a great pamphlet with real pics of real people using it and the results.
Barbara, I said a prayer for your stepdaughter. First, I pray that she'll come to know Jesus and I also pray that she will recover from her cancer. 🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏 sending prayers for healing
Oh dear God. I am so sorry. My college roommate is in a bery similar situation, same cancer. But she is a believer.
Sadly I just found out it spread though she was in remission. She now has 6mos- 3 yrs to live! So sad😭
Lisa, see the above information about Fenbendazole.
yes, agree with Pam, nothing left to lose but to give these treatments a try!!!! If more time, praise God, if less time, praise God anyways as absent in the body, present with the Lord, which will be better than this demon infested world.
😞😢
I am so sorry. I am praying for your stepdaughter's healing and salvation. May she feel only the peace He can give and see Him because of it.
Barbara, I'm very sorry to hear about your stepdaughter. Would you be willing to share a name that I would add to my prayer list? Praying for her, you & your family. May there be peace in your days.
Yes of course. Her name is Aileah
May our Lord bring healing of body and heart to His precious servant, Aileah. Amen.
We are praying for your daughter.🙏🏼
Praying!! 🙏🙏🙏
These scriptures are so important. Words of wisdom from God. As Dr. Lapado said " these shots are the antichrist of all products....That is our connection to God." This is a battle against the forces of evil. We must arm ourselves with the Spirit of The Lord. ✝️🙏❤️
I have said that from day one. it is all about The Blood.
”For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life.“
Leviticus 17:11 NIV

Exactly - amen!
Would be interested to hear or read these comments and the context. Thank you.
Dr. Ladapo
Yeshua asked His Father to ‘keep us from the evil one’. That right there gives me a peace that transcends my fear.
Thank you for reminding me. His Son asked Him, and He will do so.
Amen
Amen!
Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Matt 10:16
Thank you Janice. Don’t tell Jeff, but I came first to comments so could find your inspirational post!

Follow Janice on Substack!
AMEN 🙏
We were on a flight and a college age kid died on the plane before we took off. He was clean cut and very well groomed. Headed home for a visit. A doctor on board tried to help him but no use. The flight attendant hinted that it was college drug use/overdose.
How many young people are dying from shots but being labeled drug overdoses?
So very very sad, the broken hearts left behind too
It's everything but and certainly not The Shot.
Many or they try to pass it off as that. Remember. #ABV.
Terribly sad!
The shots are drug abuse....
Strange how we never used to have clean cut college age kids dying suddenly from drugs before the shots emerged.
That is horrible!
Bravo to the fine, concerned Alachua County moms who shared important information regarding Carlee Simon with the Juneau School Board! They saved the children of Juneau from being indoctrinated with her woke ideology! Well done! I hope there are some Alaskans following C&C who will comment!
Hahaha 😂 Good riddance to Carlee! Hopefully she and all like her are up to date on all and any shots. Also that they all continue to mask up so we see less of their faces. 😄
Yes! I'm in Alaska, very close to Juneau, which is ALREADY A WOKE CITY. It's the state capitol, after all. I'm very surprised that the opinions of the Alachua County moms carried any weight with the Juneau school board, but pleased to learn of it.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Thank you for responding! I always assumed Alaska was conservative but elections were rigged! I hope the person the school board chose will do a great job educating not indoctrinating!
One down, thousands to go.
Another brick in the wall. A journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step. 🙏🏻
I live in Alaska (Anchorage), and unfortunately our republicans are mostly uni party members. Like Dana, I’m surprised Juneau rejected her, but happy she is not poisoning minds of Alaska children.
Why are there so many libs in Alaska? I’ve never been there but assumed that because it’s separated from the mainland that the people would be independent thinkers, hard workers, and resourceful, none of which characterize the left. (We hope to take a cruise there this summer. My son said it’s the most beautiful place he’s ever been!)
Julie, a belated answer: Why are there so many libs in Alaska? Because the primary occupation is NOT scraping a living off the land, but working for the government! The bigger the government gets, the LEFTER the state becomes. Then when they retire - Forest Service, teachers, city employees - then they run for public office to "give back" to their communities!
Everyone needs to spend part of their life getting their hands "dirty" with real work.
One other question: when is the best month to take a cruise to Alaska and does it make a difference if you go from Seward to Vancouver vs Vancouver to Seward?
Hi, Julie Ann, I'm not used to checking that little bell in the corner of the page - just noticed it for the first time last month.
In reply to your question about visiting Alaska: Here in Southeast, the weather is tolerably warm by May (Alaska standards) and there may even be sunshine! Up north is QUITE DIFFERENT, and I have only visited there in late summer, (the Anchorage area, which includes Wasilla, Palmer, extending over to the peninsula that takes you down to Kenai & Homer...) loved it! Some people feel it's too hot by the end of August, but many Alaskans feel they're in a heat wave when the temp goes over 75.
Thank you for the information Dana! We’re looking at next summer and probably in late May or in June. Will you see glaciers all summer? Does the snow stay on the mountains all year? We will only be in the area from Seward to Anchorage! I can’t wait to visit your beautiful state! My son said it’s the most beautiful state he’s ever seen!
Thank you, Dana, for taking the time to answer my question. It’s so sad because I’ve heard the state is beautiful and it’s huge with so many natural resources but government ruins everything it touches, including the people who make their living doing it. I hope Alaskans will wake up and can turn it around!
Julie Ann B, Don't know the answer to that. Former Alaskan here, 30+ years, Anchorage then Juneau for 3. It used to be conservative. Started changing in the 70's 🙁
The sudden deaths - reading about them gives me a sense of creeping horror. It's as though we're watching a sci fi horror or playing a part in one.
A dozen employees at work are really sick. Influenza and flu that are serious. Lasts for weeks. Coughing for weeks. Add the fact 2 coworkers died unexpectedly, one was a healthy 46 year old, I get the sense the covidians are worried. I give my advice on supplements and supporting your body and they are much more open to it. Word is getting out. Can't hide from it much longer.
I'll start off with I've always considered myself healthy aside from a yearly or bi-yearly cold--occasional flu. Have never been jabbed for flu nor Covid. I workout nearly daily, get sunshine, hike when it's nice out, take needed supplements (including those that boost the immune system and help to detox--liposomal glutathion, colostrum, C, Zn, Quercetin, D, K2, Curcumin, etc, etc, etc), hydrate with an occasional IV with added supplements and eat well (not perfectly, but not a fast food/highly processed diet). My downside--I drink plenty of wine. From August 2023 through December 2023 I had three sicknesses. Covid (no test--can just tell how it feels based on having it before). I did do a nasal rinse with povidone iodine but it still came on and a bit worse than first easiest time I had it. Two weeks later I got a cold--fairly normal that lasted about a week. By the way, it was the first cold I got since having Covid in November 2020 (unusual). Two months later I got something that I have no clue what it was. It was a cross between the flu and a cold and felt like I had been hit by a truck. I was down for nearly two weeks. With this last sickness, I had IVM on hand and started to take it at first sign that something may be coming on. I gargled with antiseptic mouthwash too. Nothing helped--I hit it with my arsenal! My husband got it two days before and he does take Covid tests. He took three of them over the span of 10 days, all were negative. Neither of us can recall having been so sick before that we were going back to bed in the middle of the day. So what the heck is this? It's not just the jabbed that are getting sick.
I am on what I hope is the tail end of a week long illness. I am pureblood, and have never had covid or really been sick in 20 years. Take ivm as a precaution but it didn't seem to matter. Now I can't taste or smell. Super healthy and try to eat just unprocessed...but as Jay says, these skies are pretty hard to get any rays from. Here in Florida it is a sky of restricted light. It is really awful out there lately.
It’s been a very cloudy winter here in Florida. It’s weird too. The last three winters we’ve been here the winters are gorgeous. Blue skies every day. Can get a little colder but still gorgeous. This winter I can count on one hand the number of times the sun has actually been out. It’s cold, cloudy, drizzly or rainy so much so that it reminds me of being back in Oregon. I can tell in my mood and motivation. More lethargic. I don’t like it. Not. One. Bit.
Sunnydaze, today's weather in Oregon, just as you say. I haven't done my usual happy light this year. I just think we are in a weather cycle and will need a few more years to see the trend. For the moment I will put aside weather modification.
I sent this to RunningLogic yesterday. See if it takes some of the lethargy away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIbYCOiETx0
Always makes me think of Victor Borge's version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPwNwNdE7pE
😂 Ok. That made me laugh out loud. Thanks! 😂
I said that in 2017 when I was in Santa Fe & everybody tried to convince me of weather modification & geo-engineering.. I was very wrong .. you should research that more now as it relates directly to all our health & safety issues today
Here in south Otago, New Zealand we've had 3 glorious summers in a row but this spring/summer (only halfway through summer) has been up and down, and terribly windy since August maybe. But it was predicted - the 3 year La Nina cycle and now El Nino. If they can predict it I'm happy to accept it's part of a normal cycle.
Yes. This is not your typical Florida weather & sky. My cousin is on west coast & she sees same thing
I saw on the Tampa news that they were blaming 'fireworks smoke' for the sludge air. I laughed out loud at that load of horseshit. I am in Sarasota.
Honga Tonga?????
Right??!! It has been so awful and I don't even want to be out in it. I see the lines in the sky, then it turns into this sludge. The last few winters were gorgeous. I know what is up, but is it really? Can that be a thing? If you listen to Dane Wigington, it absolutely is.
Yep. I live in Florida too and it’s been pretty chilly and cloudy.
Yup. We are noticing a lot of them too. Pretty sure that’s the weather changes. The climate is changing because evil criminals are trying to be God. Satans m.o. from the beginning.
I hope you feel better soon. There is some sort of weird superbug going around. I live in AZ and swear that when I moved here in 2012 our skies were clearer than they are today. Well, actually, today proper the sky is very blue, but you know what I mean. Overall they have been more hazy.
Geoengineering/weather modification. Look up in the sky and you will see the chemtrails.
Yes, I've listened to the Geoengineering podcasts. Scariest crap out there--well, I suppose "scariest" is all relative these days. I just KNOW those recent earthquakes were man (machine) made.
Same. Out here in AZ too and have had a cough for a month. Doctor not too concerned as lungs clear. I feel fine except for coughing up bits of phlegm. Used up my ivermectin and more due from India but not for another two weeks. Doing all the usual supplements plus workouts. It’s annoying!!
Annoying is exactly the word! My cousin got Covid at a wedding the weekend after Thanksgiving. She's like me--healthy, ridiculous amount of supplements, Ivermectin, exercises, etc. We talked about how annoyed we are at taking care of ourselves yet being taken down by sickness.
Read a thread on this cough. Apparently a lot of people have it. Vaxxed and unvaxxed.
Have you tried Mullen leaf?
Try horseradish for that annoying cough, it's amazing! I never thought a spoon of that old root would help but it sure does. This bug is a nasty one for sure.
My mother-in-law got valley fever in Arizona and it was a terrible thing. Have you tested for that?
Oh no! What is valley fever? We are heading to Arizona for the month of March. Now we can worry about something besides the stream of illegals entering our country through Arizona!
I want to reply in general. First, I’ve read that some folks have gotten their taste and smell back by chewing Nicorette gum (name brand not generic.) Second, one of the most important supplements to take is probiotics. Our gut is the largest organ of our immune system. Stress, sugar, antibiotics, can all effect our gut biome.
Always with the probiotics...if I don't get my smell back soon I will have to try that other. Thank you!
Fermented beverages like kombucha, milk or water kefir and yogurt have those properties and readily available. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar to your diet everyday.
I too have been sick. Had a mild cold in February ‘23, my first in 8 years, then spent time at my folks this spring, summer, and in October my nephew visited me here.
Sore throat but not bad, did take ivermectin, went back up to folks.
Mid-December I got diverticulitis, 3 days after starting the antibiotics, I got shingles. Christmas day (two days before the full moon I started ivermectin and Fen Ben to do a parasite cleanse. Now I have my husband’s cold. Throat so sore I can barely swallow. What the hell?
Still taking ivermectin, quercitin, zinc, and echinacea and goldenseal. So, I’m wondering about shedding or perhaps the intense drugs that I took for the diver and shingles have flattened my immune system. Or a combination of both. Blood test revealed low lymphocytes and other markers for infection.
I hope you all get well soon and don’t get this cold thing!
Oh no! I hope you get better soon. I shared my cold with my Hubs. He is ever so grateful. Haha. I was craving bananas, so that is what I have been eating. Even though I can't smell or taste now. I just figured I have dodged so many bullets with all my travel and everywhere I have been, that I was due to get sick. It is a part of life, but all of us are on such high alert now, that the mundane and what used to be normal sets off alarm bells.
That’s true, we definitely are on high alert.
But ‘23 and this year so far, stinks!
I am surrounded by sick people all the time. I am always opening a window, washing my hands, taking my supplements and trying to avoid hanging out with my coworkers too much. I am the only unvaxxed at work. Luckily at home we are all unvaxxed. So much going around. Ambulance and medical sirens every day. 😒 trying to stay healthy as best I can.
It really is exhausting, right?
It is. 😔
Just watched an Epoch interview with Dr Paul Merit. It was mostly about cancer but touched on covid. He said its safe to take up to 1000iu D, and take Omega 3, and eat, sleep, exercise, eat good food.
I was surprised to hear the part about high D, I normally take 4000iu I’m going to up mine for the winter.
Anyway you only have a few more months!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You may want to add K2 with your Vitamin D3. Here's an explanation as to why. https://www.cloverinternalmedicine.com/blog/why-everyone-needs-to-take-vitamin-d3-with-k2
Karen - Did you mean 10,000iu D?
I take 5000 iu of Vit. d with K2. Very important to take K2 with it.
😄
High doses of Vitamin C to bowel tolerance will help with a lot of health issues.
https://vitamincfoundation.org/www.orthomed.com/titrate.htm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkkWDDSti_s Here is a video of Dr. Cathcart (the author of the above paper) giving a short but very content-dense lecture on Vitamin C:
That was very eye opening! Thank you! Now to convert mg into grams, I’ll ask Siri 🤣
Literally, just x1000. 1g = 1000mg.
(Also, 1L of pure water weighs 1kg. One of the advantages of a system that was designed to be easy to calculate with... even if the units aren't always a "natural" size, eg having to say 180cm instead of 6feet.)
Did you leave off D3 in your list of
supps you're taking?
Ah yes, definitely taking that! Thanks for the catch!
Karen - praying you feel better soon. 🙏🙏🙏😘❤️
Thank you dear Laura. ❤️
A lot of people have breathing and low oxygen issues with these illnesses. I came across this article which I found fascinating and could help with taking the perfect breath.
"Stemming from the different analyses of pulmonary researches, Nestor concluded that this “perfect breath” turned out to be the root of health, happiness and longevity. He also found that this technique was found in spiritual practices worldwide, especially in the Rosary."
https://zenit.org/2024/01/01/second-scientific-study-shows-health-benefits-of-praying-the-rosary/?eti=12916
James Nestor's book Breath, The New Science of A Lost Art is very good, comprehensive on science, ancient breathing techniques (that have survived for millennia - y'think there might be something to them?) and reinforcing how this vital function needs to be done *correctly* to maintain health. Recommended. (It was recommended to me.) Who knew there was a proper way to breathe?
Interesting experience. Shows that even with all the recommended supplements that we can still get pretty sick. Certainly helps to be in as good shape as possible when that time comes.
Agree
Covid 19 is a bioweapon. It is still active. Symptoms are not necessary, testing doesn't mean a thing. Jabs enhance the bioweapon and are a bioweapon on their own.
Supplements help you to fight both.
If you look up Caroline Coram on Twitter, she has plenty of ideas around geo-engineering, sky gridding, spraying with arsine gas. From there you’ll probably find those who are discussing radiation sickness (prion disease) from 5g.
It is a bio weapon. I’m unjabbed. Getting over something now, 2 weeks now. Husband as well.
Same here. I have not had so much as a cold since having what I believe was covid in January 2020, but something knocked me on my butt too. Started with congestion, sinus headache and fatigue right before Christmas. Lost most of taste and smell and felt like my head weighed a ton. Last week went into my lungs and was up coughing all night. Tried all the homeopathic things and finally gave up and went to see a NP. I refused the covid test as I don't trust them but she gave me an antibiotic for what she thought was a sinus infection and some RX cough med. Cough is finally breaking up this week and congestion is mostly gone and finally feeling human again this week. Unjabbed BTW but out and about in crowds a lot the weeks before Christmas so who knows.
Right? Me too...and my non-existent abs hurt from the coughing. Could be I caught it in the wild. I am going with that...everyone gets sick sometimes.
I'm sorry you are sick. Sounds like you are doing everything right. Maybe get tested for mono? I've heard that gets triggered when you have been sick with other illnesses.
Interesting thought. My daughter did mention that too last month but my brain just poo-poo'd it. Hearing it again now, perhaps I should be tested. I despise doctors--I'm going to see if there's an online test. Thank you!
I order from ultalabtests.com, w/ the blood draw at a local Quest Diagnostic lab (in the back of a Safeway). I just looked online: "Heterophile, Mono Screen #654" is the top result, searching on "mono." It's $24.95, not including the blood draw, but there's always a coupon: UltaHRS23 is the current one.
Thank you for sharing this. I'm looking into it.
Totally can relate. Both husband and I got a terrible flu twice last year (not tested - retired) like no other we have ever had and not jabbed either. We had to sleep in recliners - never done before - due to congestion. We had not been sick for about 8 years when we worked and sick people came in to work and spread what they had. Really bizarre. I’m wondering if it was vax shedding from people when we had to go out and about for groceries, etc. Take care.
I wonder about the vax shedding too. Hope all us purebloods haven't been contaminated.
My adult daughter (un-injected) was so terribly sick again yesterday, she went to Urgent Care. Her fever hit 103 & stayed there, no matter what she did, for 3 days! Throat so sore that shallowing saliva was a big challenge! She tested negative for strep, mono, etc... But she was only well for about one week, before getting hit again. They even did a CT scan to look for a throat abscess, cause her neck was actually swollen. Scan was clear. Put her on steroids & due to some edema (fluid retention) in her sinuses, also prescribed antibiotics. ER doc brought up “Adult Onset Auto-Inflammatory disease”. Much different then autoimmune. Autoimmune issues are with the “adaptive” responses, learned antibodies & their reaction to triggers. Autoinflammatory involves the “innate” responses of fever, elevated white blood counts, etc. We’ve got a lot to learn now! Wth is this? She is surrounded with vaxxed coworkers & works with plastic dust particles, so has to be in a clean suit & mask for her 12 hour shifts.
Hope she gets better soon. 🙂
I'm just coming out of the worst part of what sounds like you had too. Pulled out our stored Covid test kits and tested negative for that. Seems like a really bad cold but was very light headed a couple days ago. Running nose emits lots of gunk and have coughing fits now and then. Bit sore all over and run down. No fever or other signs of flu and still able to smell/taste. But seems much worse than a normal cold. Also pureblood and in good health normally.
Rinse with the Neil Med saline bottle! It’s a game changer for colds!
Yours is an interesting anecdote Susan; I’m glad you are well now.
As others have mentioned, there may be a number of potential reasons for your illness, as well as the apparent lack of efficacy in your prophylactic regimen, and IVM treatment. I say ‘apparent’ because it may be that your IVM, together with the prophylactic vitamins and other supplements, actually made a great deal of difference in the ultimate outcome.
We can’t be sure, but I would take the position that it did.
You don’t mention it in your account, but did your husband take the jabs?
God bless and keep us all, Mike
You can get the flu jabbed or not. I was noticing it doesn't stop with the vaxxed. All last year was one thing after another.
Agree. November, I was hit with some severe cold/flu (I would never take one of those useless and dangerous covid tests). I took weeks to improve, lengthy severe cough I couldn’t shake. Pureblood and took IVM; didn’t seem to take and had to ride it out.
At Christmas, my daughter and husband hit with same illness. Just not as severe as my symptoms were.
You sound very much like my experience , health regimen, exercise and wine. I'm just getting over the 3rd cold/flu/respiratory thing since 2 days after Thanksgiving. I surmised that part of my deal was not getting enough sunlight. Maybe. The other explanation is all of the $#it they've been criss-crossing the skies with. It's been INSANE in rural NE Georgia mountains. I'm about to turn 63. No rx garbage in my system. I cook 95% of my food; grow some of it; the rest is local/organic and most of the protein I consume is from our own land, ethically and regeneratively raised, the way God intended. Our water is a 340+ foot untreated (but tested for purity) well.
What gives?!?
Dang! What gives, indeed! Especially in Georgia where you probably have that good Lithium water too (well, at least good for the nerves). So weird how we're all getting some sort of crappy sickness.
I have no doubt that they are dosing us all with Chemtrails. We are all breathing this fine greyish tan contamination that filters down on my windshield.
The shots must not have worked fast enough for them but the sickest people I noticed around here are those already jabbed.
Maybe the asteroid will free us from these political hemorrhoids!
Awful! It must be truly dreadful to have taken the shots and become increasingly aware that all is not well.
Try having to deal with them 🤪🤪. My cousins keep getting sick but keep getting those jabs
I have a niece jabbed to the max and swabbed at every opportunity. She now has thyroid cancer. She's 24!
That's awful.
No way! So sorry to hear this; how dreadful
I would think so. My husband has said several times he is glad we're not worrying about it.
I think many of us are frustrated that the heavily jabbed folks are slow to process the problem or are unwilling to acknowledge it. A lot of the effects are subtle or delayed (like repeat infections). Now, it may well be that sars-cov2 causes longer term problems for some un-jabbed folks (in their first bout) but that doesn't mean that a mRNA transfection that goes systemically and does not prevent infection was a better choice. In fact, it is far worse.
I personally had a rough go with covid (or whatever it was) - I do have a predisposition to chest colds, but for me a lot of the issues were stress-related (to authoritarian measures etc). I did recover fully., though it took a couple of months. I have zero regrets not getting the shot (though I do wish I had been more proactive sourcing early treatment before I needed it). Since that bout 2 years ago, I have had one cold type thing that lasted 3 days and wasn't bad - no cough, some chest irritation and sniffles. I have no complaints.
The only people that are really going to change the tide are likely the awakened-jabbed folk. The un-jabbed are over the virus part (not the authoritarian part, though..)
The stress is what gets me too. Every day I walk around and try to keep myself sane. I am tired of being the only aware person in a Twilight Zone episode. 😒
That is totally it, right? And, paying attention to all the crap they throw at us would smush me. I have to prioritize what I give an ear to. People are so dumb, I just can't stand it.
Agree.
Agree! Thanking God that there are others like you out there that have been given discernment to see what is happening. I am wrestling with the enemy to not let the darkness that I see everyday overwhelm me. Digging deep to cling to defiant joy as the Joy of the Lord is our strength!
I myself have been sick this being the third week. And I’ve not been ill in at least ten years. But I’m very healthy in my habits, have good vitamin D levels, not covid vaxxed, no recent vaccinations at all actually--stopped doing them a few years pre-covid. Pounding the vitamin C and did a 7 day of ivermectin and avoided all doctors and hospitals. lol. Much different than the last time I had the flu actually where I was desperately sick in bed for a week and needed antibiotics, antivirals, and high powered cough medicine as I broke a rib coughing. I’ve had *symptoms* for 3 weeks and have been resting and eating very carefully but no medical intervention was necessary. I could have easily worked after the first week but have been on vacation the whole time. 🙄 some vacation.
There seems to be a cough going around that is lasting 6 or more weeks. A doctor said he hasn't seen anyone unvaccinated with it. Lots of people commented that they were unvaxxed and had it, but didn't trust doctors anymore so treating it themselves.
Yeah, it’s becoming the norm and yet zzzzzz
I'm reminded of the "play within a play" during Fear the Walking Dead -- the airplane. One passenger goes down, to everyone's horror, then one by one, all go down, until the plane crashes in Baja. Impending doom is the feeling.
Yes, exactly! For me the scene that always comes to mind is the opening of 'I am Legend' where Emma Thompson/Dr. Alice Krippin is being interviewed about her miracle cure for cancer! At the beginning of all of this I kept thinking, 'haven't they watched the film?'
There is a dewormer named "Panacur-C"... it's all right there in the name.
I've been following Harvard University FB and IG post. They have turned off their commenting. I was calling them out on their cruel animal experiments in comments. They were sewing shut the eyes of baby monkeys. But I'm assuming their latest development has caused a stir on social media therefore they shut off commenting.
Also some Harvard Medical school employers were selling pieces of bodies donated to school.
That’s sick and demonic. I hope people think twice before donating their bodies for “science”.
Never! Seriously never!
https://www.nbcboston.com/investigations/harvards-morgue-scandal-is-part-of-a-much-larger-story-in-trading-human-remains/3136374/
They were selling pieces to a girl in Salem who is making some sort of creepy items out of them.
nauseating, just like the Nazi did.
Silence of the Lambs?
"sewing shut the eyes of baby monkeys". What kind of medical (I assume) data could be gleaned from doing such heinous atrocities? The people who think up these "experiments" should be ostracized from humanity. The people who carry out these experiments should suffer the same fate as their victims.
Good. Awesome. 👍 Give it back to these so-called elites. They are hypocrites and nasty.
That’s what they are doing to animals! The Natzi’s did it to humans! Heinous!
That is plain horror!
Reading about Joe Ladapo's courage and perseverance in calling for the shots to be halted actually brought tears to my eyes. As I have stated several times recently, winning does not necessarily mean we can bring about the outcome we desire; it means we are fighting with all we've got to get the truth out, while refusing to compromise or comply. As Jesus states in Matthew 5:11, "You are blessed when they insult you and persecute you and falsely say every kind of evil against you because of me." We are doing God's work when we seek to protect the vulnerable. It's sad that so many don't want to be protected, but it doesn't change our mission as followers of Christ.
Same. I am proud of him. I thought I need to write an email to thank him. Amd then I thought no I don’t want it traced back to me, ever. How horrible is that?! What this world has done to even well
meaning people.
I totally empathize.
Amen, AC. NOTHING changes our mission as followers of Christ. Love God, love your neighbor, make disciples, and remain faithful to the end.
Carlee Simon even plagerized her name🤡
She’s so vain! 🎶
The other Carly Simon is as woke so it's like tomato or tomahto. Same wokester.
I was thinking the same thing 😆 With just enough of a spelling change to pretend it’s actually a different name 😆🙄
Gay didn't really loose anything, she/he still gets a 1 million salary, a board seat, and a job for life.
So she still won.
We need to stop and look at what the left actually produces with all their ugliness for getting into positions of power................nothing burgers every one of them. They produce nothing good.
She lost face, lost power, was publicly shown to be a plagiarizing mediocrity (at best), and the whole DEI enterprise has been discredited. They held this person up to be their best and brightest, the best Harvard had to offer, and she was humiliated. That's a big step forward that we need to keep in mind.
However, you are exactly right that the left takes care of their own which is why these people know they can act with impunity. Even if they get taken out they still are rewarded with a big bucks sinecure.
Plagiarism should be an automatic dismissal and loss of tenure, salary and pension. What the heck are we teaching these kids?!! It’s ok to cheat?!
Totally agree it should be, but the fact that such a dolt as Gay was appointed to lead it in the first place shows how utterly corrupt the place is.
This didn't happen overnight but was a result of decades of subversion. I think that many people really don't understand just how far the rot has advanced, it won't be turned around quickly. But for the first time in a very long time, the left lost a big one here, and were exposed for what they were doing. The fact that a two-fer (maybe a three-fer?) in the diversity sweepstakes got taken out is a big deal. They thought she was untouchable.
Savor the victories, and don't let the perfect be the enemy of good.
Agree 💯. Gay and Harvard have clearly shown that the former Ivy League is in fact The Poison Ivy League. We need to weed it out and eradicate it.
Joe had to drop out of the run for president back in 1988 for plagiarizing others speeches and flat out lying about his own history. Censoring this info in 2020 worked well for those too young to remember.

Right! There should be harsh repercussions so as to discourage this despicable behavior in the first place.
It is grounds for undergrad student dismissal. The farther up the chain it happens, the more myopic the jury becomes.
it's not a "she"...
I agree, but if Gay is anything like all the other woke people, she lost because the ideology is losing ground. Trust me, I don’t understand how the woke can push 2+LGBTQ in schools and have Epstein, when still alive get knuckle wrapped and his girlfriend get 20 years. What are we doing to our children exposing them to sexual ideologies when they are too young to understand the concepts. All these educators should be in jail.
I am planning to retire in a couple of months. My exit interview with HR will be used to address dei. I will borrow Elon's quote "dei is just another word for racism. Shame on anyone who uses it." I am sure to be hustled out quickly. Screw them.
I would love a transcript of your exit interview 😂 They have no idea what is coming! 🙌 🙌
My husband had an exit interview with the owner of his company in 2019. He gave an honest response about some things going on in the company. He answered the questions that were asked of him. He was a high level Managment employee but was not a “yes” man. They did not like that and they ousted him in very unethical and unscrupulous ways. After he spoke the truth very professionally and respectfully he was told to get mental help. 🤦🏼♀️ God moved him on to a better job, making more financially, with a much larger company that respects and values him and God is blessing his work beyond what we had ever imagined, and God put me into the land of sunshine. So there’s that. 😉
Happy retirement! 🙌
I quit giving exit interviews. Uppe management claims they want to know what is happening or wrong, promise change, but nothing ever changes and you are then marked as incurable and if new employers check are role unhireable. Fortunately, I was able to retire 3 years ago after 43 year of being an active RN.
🥰
Best of luck in your (soon to be) new life.
Cannot wait.
Have you ever read 2nd smartest’s articles on him? It’s pretty eye-opening, if you haven’t figure it out yet. Regardless, dei is just another way to abuse people for profit.

The guy stamping his feet about it for attention is just another grifter! *shakes head that people struggle to see this!*
My son went to University of Hartford for 2 years in 2000, before he transferred to the college of his choice. He said there was a required class, some kind of sexual perversion class, that made him so uncomfortable that he was sick.
Flash forward to State University of NY four years later and my daughter experienced the same..again saying that what she saw in that class made her sick to her stomach.
It seems that our colleges and universities have been indoctrinating the precious souls of our children with demonic filth for two decades now...I believe it has to do with gvt funding? No coincidence that it started in the Clinton era.
My daughter was SUNY Purchase.
Chris Rufo's substack today contains the interview he did with Politico, a far-left outlet, explaining exactly how he and his allies set about ousting Gay. Rufo et al are not trying to hide the ball - they are trying to provide a template for other anti-woke warriors to follow that can get them to a win. You can practically hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth in the questions that Politico asked.

It’s a rotten tree producing rotten fruit. Even the pollen is poison.
I think I’ll submit Gay’s doctoral thesis to Harvard as my own and call it, “Duplicative Language and Duplicative Language: Systemic Ivy League Discrimination against Me for Being only 1/8 Latinxino and at Least 1/4 Germanicx.” If they don’t give me a PhD, I’ll sue them for hurting my feelings.
🤣😆
keep watching...it will not be allowed to teach as IT HAS NO CREDIBLE DEGREES...it's CV is FAKE AND STOLEN and how can it TEACH with that record when students would be EXPELLED for the same crimes?!?!?
Why are all the woke morons butt ugly and lesbian or trannies?
Oh No, don’t get people riled up over the conservative calendar again 🤣
The salary goes with maintaining a job as a professor doesn’t it? I thought that’s what I’d read. She shouldn’t be allowed to teach anyone anything!!
Claudine will be chosen to replace Ed Markey in the US Senate. Plagiarism is a path to success; just ask Robert L. Peters.
Gay is still the person she always was. She did not win anything in God’s economy. No amount of window-dressing will disgiuse her true colors.
"The former President denies ever setting foot on Epstein’s airplane or even knowing him very well."
That makes perfect sense since he "didn't have sex with that woman" either.
I wish I could intonate his voice....but it's probably not necessary.
Why was he immortalized in that lovely painting where he is wearing a blue dress? I suppose Epstein admired him from afar.
I think it's wonderful that the picture has been released on the internet....and while he's still with us.
I was thinking it’s the blue dress found in Monica’s closet...you know, with Bill’s DNA sample on it 🤮
And I will now go take a shower...
It is!!
Depends what the definition of "setting foot" is!
It drives my husband crazy when people use ‘step foot’. At least the idiot who made that quote got something right. Even though it was not true 😑
He is an awful person married to an awful person. 😖
The man who argued in a videod deposition about what's the meaning of "is."
And got away with it. But, Hillary cannot look away. She sold her soul, thinking Slick Willie would get her into the WH. He has gotten her into Epstein’s House of Horrors. It is a two-fer!
Exactly what I thought when I heard about his denial 🙄

Jeff, just wondering about your subscription rates: (I'm in Canada). CAD $70/month is out of league with what most charge... having been a reader for two years now I'm wondering if it's a mistake, as I'd happily pay the usual $5, $7 or even $11/month and I know you have maybe hundreds of thousands of subs, so am thinking you'd make more with a more affordable price? Also, it's confusing because as a free subscriber I'm not supposed to be able to comment. Thanks for clearing this up for me...
Hi Joanie, thanks for the inquiry - answered many times but with new folks coming in, and with hit-and-miss views, it always bears repeating. When in 2021 I was cancelled from all platforms in a single day, we had to quickly setup replacements. At that time, folks were helping financially via Patreon, which allowed three different tiers. By far the most popular tier was $50, which folks agreed was buying one billable lawyer hour per year, letting me devote more time to freedom-related activities and less to conventional lawyering.
So it was a no-brainer when we setup Substack -- which only allows *one* monthly tier -- to pick $50.
To be clear: I don't want *anyone* who can't afford that rate to help (not at that level). You help just by reading and recommending! As others have pointed out, we could probably raise more at a lower level but that's not my only consideration. There's also an option for one-time donations on the link, and if you feel so moved please use that one anytime; everything helps.
Again, thanks so much for asking the question. Glad I was able to see it.
Thanks Jeff (and sorry for causing you to have to repeat all this)! I do read your stack first thing every morning but not always the comments so... will certainly now make a long-overdue donation. Appreciate you immensely!
The donation page seems not to be working ("Button Deactivated") so have just emailed support.
Ah! I didn't know the Patreon history. Makes sense now!
It’s his substack and he has the right to charge any subscription price he wants to. Free market principles. With that being said you can also give him any amount at any time in appreciation for his time and work put into writing this substack. Free is dead and cheap is on the critical list. So do what you can! And you are allowed to comment whether you are a subscriber or not. Thank you Jeff!
Yes, of course he does; but his subscribe page says free subs can't comment yet here we are. So it's only natural for me to question if one or another element is in error. I'm currently a paid subscriber to three other authors in Substack, and personally prefer that to one-off donations.
The only day free subscriptions can't comment is Sunday. As far as I know, it's been that way from the beginning.
In other words my query is not accusatory!
Yes. Like a tip.
I feel the same way. It’s $50 US, too much for me.
Me as well...😭 I’ve been reading Jeff from the beginning on his FB posts. Would absolutely contribute but $50 is way out of my league.
I can't justify staying subscribed all year, however, I love reading him so likewise, I cannot allow him to go unrewarded. I gift myself a month and then go unsubscribed for a month, sometimes two. I share him on social media and forward emails in hopes he gains a subscriber. So I miss some Sundays... and yet he keeps on chuggin
I comemented the same thing in another place. We just wait until he decides to drop the price. If so.
Sigh. If I wasn’t on such a tight budget I would love to support his column too. I know “The workman is worthy of his hire”, but I can’t afford another debit. I am thankful for him and I pray for him. Maybe some day I can support him too.
One thing is for certain. We sure love and appreciate Mr. Jeff Childers!
You've already received more feedback than you probably expected, but with Jeff being a practicing attorney, the subscription fee really doesn't matter because we are receiving 6 out of 7 days per week of pro bono content and legal analysis. My father was an attorney for 40 years, and I was always struck at how many viewed legal advice as something we should be entitled to gratis (also I'm not saying you are ungrateful or entitled in any way.)
Most attorneys I know do a considerable amount of pro bono work and I view C&C as part this --and I'm beyond grateful. We've always been able to comment except on Sundays, and I have given donations in the past, but I also am not able to afford the $500 subscription. I assume if people can afford it, they get a little bit more of Jeff at a higher level and he can filter out his interactions with subscribers to allow him the time he needs for his "day job" and also his family. All the best to you in Canada!
Thanks, Verve; what you say here makes perfect sense, and I had speculated that that might be the case.
Perhaps those who want to support but can not go $50 per month would subscribe for a month and then cancel, consider it an annual amount?
Yeah I have done that and then those weeks he shared the paid content for free. So then I unsubscribed. I’m happy to pay $50 a year but would like more than 4 Sunday posts for that amount. For $50 I would like all the Sunday posts.
Not a bad solution, though unsubscribing wouldn't feel great.
I think Martin meant "PAY" for a month, and then go back to being a free SUBSCRIBER. Similar assumption with Magnolia's comment. Jeff and all Substackers I'm aware of have "free SUBSCRIBERS;" indeed, many Substack writers have no other kind of subscribers.
Yes, I understood what he meant. But thanks.
You can comment on the pages you receive but not any Sunday editions. Sometimes you know he shares a sunday snippet.
Yes.
I'm betting that if 99% of the people gripping about "not being able to afford it" would discontinue your boob tube subscriptions, you could then afford Jeff. It's all a choice.
Such assumptions you make. I don't even own a TV set.
And how do my words come across to you as "gripping" [sic]? I made a sincere and polite request for clarity.
Its not a choice for a lot of people. most people need $25 dollar an hour to just make ends meet and many people don't make that let alone save for retirement and emergencies.
Retired people are also on a very strict budget.
Not to mention people who lost their jobs or business during COVID
Times are very tough for a lot of people.
Thank you for this comment. I have not seen the many earlier conversations. Do you know why he prefers to do it this way? I'm hoping it's not to weed out the poor people from the informed population; we are experiencing more and more of that, society-wide.
Ummmm, he makes all of his content except Sundays free for everyone. So pretty sure he isn’t trying to weed out anyone.
The only thing the non-paying readers are missing out on is the Sunday edition. I like knowing that my $50 is going not just to "some guy" writing an opinion, but to the countless hours this guy spends researching news stories, scouring sources you and I would never think of, at the same time defending freedom-fighters from his office in Florida. Yay!
I am hoping SS from my now deceased ex-hus will allow me to subscribe to C&C. Payments haven’t started and I don’t know how much but hope springs eternal 😊
I'm sure that's not his intention, given we're all free to join in the conversation here.
I'd like to know the reason for his preference; I am unable to fathom it. And I, too, have been told on-screen that I cannot, as a free subscriber, comment on C & C ~ which of course means that it's *not* always the case that we are all free to join in the conversation here. Sometimes, only the people who are able to pay for the privilege are able to join in the conversation.
Only on Sunday would you be prevented from commenting. He doesn’t usually do a “preview” on Sunday. But it’s meant to tempt people to become a paid subscriber and it probably works pretty well. So if he doesn’t do a preview you wouldn’t even know you are missing anything. Last Sunday he sent out an email preview so for that content, and on that day you could not comment unless you paid.
Thanks! I hadn't realised that it was only on Sundays that comments were disallowed for free subscribers, so that ends that confusion for me.
Magnolia, it's not to tempt subscribers that he opens part of the Sunday editions, it's because many of those of us who are subscribers have told him that we subscribe not to get exclusive content, but to support his pro-liberty legal work, and that important material that is shared on Sundays should be shared with everyone. The rate is set high so that most get it for free, but those who can easily afford it crowd-fund his pro-liberty legal work by paying for about one hour of legal services.
There have been a couple of non-Sundays where he accidentally forgot to turn off “only subscribers can comment” when he posted, but he corrected it later and has apologized when it has happened.
Thanks for mentioning this. Perhaps he explained this in a comment or on the very same couple of non-Sundays I have not read :) ~ I hadn't seen that and didn't quite understand 'til reading your comment.
Can we as humans just make it easy? What if we decided how much we could pay a month ie 5 or 10 or whatever and multiply by 12 months and just gift it to Jeff in a month when one is able ie 5.00 x12= 60.00.
Wouldn’t that be easier than trying to get him to change the way he wishes to do this? Not gigging anyone just saying…. Common sense helps the world go round…
Personally, I appreciate that Jeff is charging the way he is. He is reaching a lot more people who are in my financial circumstance. If he even charged $5, I don’t if I would have paid to be able to read it. I would not have become the huge fan that I am or would have had the opportunity to share the information I have learned along with the confidence to share it. I don’t mind missing Sunday’s because he still posting important information to us if the group thinks we should hear it. So, from him, I am very grateful to Jeff and hopes he keeps it just the way it is.
What exactly do you think you are missing by not reading Sunday’s substack? I feel he keeps those of us who are not members very informed.
I have been a paid subscriber so I know, you are missing out on really good info. It is worth the price if you can afford it. It’s only accessible to those who are wealthy enough to have an extra $50 a month. I stopped paying that amount because number one I feel it’s unreasonable, it and I have young children and feel i need to save that money for them. But I would gladly pay a reasonable amount for that content.
All I know is that it is something he considers to be well worth $50 each month. My assumption is that I would agree with his assessment. Certainly, during the years in which I was able to read all C & C content, I found that invaluable, just as I continue to find the content which I remain able to access to be invaluable.
Alice, it's not to tempt subscribers that he opens part of the Sunday editions, it's because many of those of us who are subscribers have told him that we subscribe not to get exclusive content, but to support his pro-liberty legal work, and that important material that is shared on Sundays should be shared with everyone. The rate is set high so that most get it for free, but those who can easily afford it crowd-fund his pro-liberty legal work by paying for about one hour of legal services. If the Sunday edition were open I would continue to pay the full amount, for this reason.
Same here. It’s to support his work not get the Sunday edition, although I do enjoy it.
A killer asteroid is coming our way and all you people talk about is subscription costs! Get off the alcohol and you`ll have plenty of money!
Unfounded accusation.
He makes all his content except Sundays available to everyone. I hardly think that is exclusionary.
Thanks. I, too, am left guessing.
It's possible that the paid subscribers aren't the goal...
Maybe it's eyes on his posts.
I'm in the same boat. I can't afford a subscription. I'd have to save for 10 months to be able to afford a month's subscription! 😂
I hadn't seen it... hoping Jeff sees and responsds to my comment.

If you have a library card, you can probably read it for free. Our local library features a variety of online databases with content that is normally found behind a paywall. NYT, WaPo, etc. So can read without giving them a click or any $. Downside is this is not real time, there is a 2-3 day lag most of the time, but this article was from September so it was there.
I read it and I didn't pay?????
It’s free for me but I have to give my email (so not *really* free).
That's weird. I didn't sign or give email or anything. I wonder if my Ubuntu gets me thru free?

The complete Bill Ackman post is well worth a read! I don't spend much time on X and didn't even realize long form posts are allowed now! https://twitter.com/BillAckman/status/1742441534627184760
My favorite part:
"America is a rich country and we have made massive progress over the decades toward achieving this goal, but we obviously have much more work to do. Steps taken on the path to socialism – another word for an equality of outcome system – will reverse this progress and ultimately impoverish us all. We have seen this movie many times."
Thank you Donna, that was very helpful to read his comments in full. He took time to squarely address the gross problem of anti-white racism that has taken hold in this country (and is being taught in every public K-12 school to children of every color, and is guiding hiring and promotion in every public and private enterprise).
Yes, thought his essay was better than Rufo's
sadly I cant read it. Twitter not working
Part 4:
Unrelated to the DEI issue, as a side note, I would suggest that universities should broaden their searches to include capable business people for the role of president, as a university president requires more business skills than can be gleaned from even the most successful academic career with its hundreds of peer reviewed papers and many books. Universities have a Dean of the Faculty and a bureaucracy to oversee the faculty and academic environment of the university. It therefore does not make sense that the university president has to come through the ranks of academia, with a skill set unprepared for university management.
The president’s job – managing thousands of employees, overseeing a $50 billion endowment, raising money, managing expenses, capital allocation, real estate acquisition, disposition, and construction, and reputation management – are responsibilities that few career academics are capable of executing. Broadening the recruitment of candidates to include top business executives would also create more opportunities for diverse talent for the office of the university president.
Furthermore, Harvard is a massive business that has been mismanaged for a long time. The cost structure of the University is out of control due in large part to the fact that the administration has grown without bounds. Revenues are below what they should be because the endowment has generated a 4.5% annualized return for the last decade in one of the greatest bull markets in history, and that low return is not due to the endowment taking lower risks as the substantial majority of its assets are invested in illiquid and other high-risk assets.
The price of the product, a Harvard education, has risen at a rate well in excess of inflation for decades, (I believe it has grown about 7-8% per annum) and it is now about $320,000 for four years of a liberal arts education at Harvard College. As a result, the only students who can now afford Harvard come from rich families and poor ones. The middle class can’t get enough financial aid other than by borrowing a lot of money, and it is hard to make the economics work in life after college when you graduate with large loan balances, particularly if you also attend graduate school.
The best companies in the world grow at high rates over many decades. Harvard has grown at a de minimis rate. Since I graduated 35 years ago, the number of students in the Harvard class has grown by less than 20%. What other successful business do you know that has grown the number of customers it serves by less than 20% in 35 years, and where nearly all revenue growth has come from raising prices?
In summary, there is a lot more work to be done to fix Harvard than just replacing its president. That said, the selection of Harvard’s next president is a critically important task, and the individuals principally responsible for that decision do not have a good track record for doing so based on their recent history, nor have they done a good job managing the other problems which I have identified above.
The Corporation board led by Penny Pritzker selected the wrong president and did inadequate due diligence about her academic record despite Gay being in leadership roles at the University since 2015 when she became dean of the Social Studies department.
The Board failed to create a discrimination-free environment on campus exposing the University to tremendous reputational damage, to large legal and financial liabilities, Congressional investigations and scrutiny, and to the potential loss of Federal funding, all while damaging the learning environment for all students.
And when concerns were raised about plagiarism in Gay’s research, the Board said these claims were “demonstrably false” and it threatened the NY Post with “immense” liability if it published a story raising these issues.
It was only after getting the story cancelled that the Board secretly launched a cursory, short-form investigation outside of the proper process for evaluating a member of the faculty’s potential plagiarism. When the Board finally publicly acknowledged some of Gay’s plagiarism, it characterized the plagiarism as “unintentional” and invented new euphemisms, i.e., “duplicative language” to describe plagiarism, a belittling of academic integrity that has caused grave damage to Harvard’s academic standards and credibility.
The Board’s three-person panel of “political scientist experts” that to this day remain unnamed who evaluated Gay’s work failed to identify many examples of her plagiarism, leading to even greater reputational damage to the University and its reputation for academic integrity as the whistleblower and the media continued to identify additional problems with Gay’s work in the days and weeks thereafter.
According to the NY Post, the Board also apparently sought to identify the whistleblower and seek retribution against him or her in contravention to the University’s whistleblower protection policies.
Despite all of the above, the Board “unanimously” gave its full support for Gay during this nearly four-month crisis, until eventually being forced to accept her resignation earlier today, a grave and continuing reputational disaster to Harvard and to the Board.
In a normal corporate context with the above set of facts, the full board would resign immediately to be replaced by a group nominated by shareholders. In the case of Harvard, however, the Board nominates itself and its new members. There is no shareholder vote mechanism to replace them.
So what should happen?
The Corporation Board should not remain in their seats protected by the unusual governance structure which enabled them to obtain their seats.
The Board Chair, Penny Pritzker, should resign along with the other members of the board who led the campaign to keep Claudine Gay, orchestrated the strategy to threaten the media, bypassed the process for evaluating plagiarism, and otherwise greatly contributed to the damage that has been done. Then new Corporation board members should be identified who bring true diversity, viewpoint and otherwise, to the board.
The Board should not be principally comprised of individuals who share the same politics and views about DEI. The new board members should be chosen in a transparent process with the assistance of the 30-person Board of Overseers. There is no reason the Harvard board of 12 independent trustees cannot be comprised of the most impressive, high integrity, intellectually and politically diverse members of our country and globe. We have plenty of remarkable people to choose from, and the job of being a director just got much more interesting and important. It is no longer, nor should it ever have been, an honorary and highly political sinecure.
The ODEIB should be shut down, and the staff should be terminated. The ODEIB has already taken down much of the ideology and strategies that were on its website when I and others raised concerns about how the office operates and who it does and does not represent. Taking down portions of the website does not address the fundamentally flawed and racist ideology of this office, and calls into further question the ODEIB’s legitimacy.
Why would the ODEIB take down portions of its website when an alum questioned its legitimacy unless the office was doing something fundamentally wrong or indefensible?
Harvard must once again become a meritocratic institution which does not discriminate for or against faculty or students based on their skin color, and where diversity is understood in its broadest form so that students can learn in an environment which welcomes diverse viewpoints from faculty and students from truly diverse backgrounds and experiences.
Harvard must create an academic environment with real academic freedom and free speech, where self-censoring, speech codes, and cancel culture are forever banished from campus.
Harvard should become an environment where all students of all persuasions feel comfortable expressing their views and being themselves. In the business world, we call this creating a great corporate culture, which begins with new leadership and the right tone at the top. It does not require the creation of a massive administrative bureaucracy.
These are the minimum changes necessary to begin to repair the damage that has been done.
A number of faculty at the University of Pennsylvania have proposed a new constitution which can be found at http://pennforward.com, which has been signed by more than 1,200 faculty from Penn, Harvard, and other universities. Harvard would do well to adopt Penn’s proposed new constitution or a similar one before seeking to hire its next president.
A condition of employment of the new Harvard president should be the requirement that the new president agrees to strictly abide by the new constitution. He or she should take an oath to that effect.
Today was an important step forward for the University. It is time we restore Veritas to Harvard and again be an exemplar that graduates well-informed, highly-educated leaders of exemplary moral standing and good judgment who can help bring our country together, advance our democracy, and identify the important new discoveries that will help save us from ourselves.
We have a lot more work to do. Let’s get at it.
This is great!!
I would take issue though with his idea that class size should show growth, not sure that is desirable and it has implications as to quality of education (personal access to professors, small class sizes, adequate resources for all, etc.) that are not negligible.
I had to go back and re-read as I didn't remember him saying that? But I think he is talking about overall enrollment - refers to 'class size' as in the Freshman class, the Sophomore class, etc. ?? So not saying bigger class sizes, I think he is talking about bigger student population. Granted, the intent is probably to keep it small as they fancy themselves as 'elite' BUT my understanding that most undergrad courses at such schools are mostly taught by grad assistants not full professors, and that if you get a prof, it's likely that you are in an auditorium sized space where they don't even know the names of the students. And yet charge the big bucks.
Personally thought I got a great education at my mid sized, reasonably priced regional university, where class sizes were small, taught by actual professors and at least in the business school, were mostly conservative and challenged me with what were then my more liberal views. But that was the 80's, think wokery has infiltrated them quite a bit now, although not as much as the more name brand schools. It's in a pretty small town in red part of the state so probably not a dream destination for the hard core lefties.
I understood the same thing you did as far as class size being the student body, but if you increase that, you will inevitably increase the other kind of class size unless you add instructors and possibly also classrooms. At some point it becomes unsustainable—you can’t just keep increasing and increasing. It also would have the potential effect of diluting the “prestige” aspect if it is easier to get in (more students = more available spots for candidates). I just don’t really think this part of his argument has merit, personally. I don’t know why a college or university would have to necessarily grow their student body. Although I do agree about the businessman argument, but it has to be someone who also can understand the unique setting and needs of academia. I think the president of Purdue University was successful in this regard.
It is my understanding that at Harvard, like smaller so-called “elite” liberal arts colleges, most of the instruction is done by professors/faculty and not by grad/teaching assistants. That is part of their appeal and differentiation from large public institutions.
Well, yes that makes sense. Ackman is applying a business metric where it is not really relevant.
Demographics being what they are - the big Millennial generation has given way to the smaller Gen Z generation, and a more kids are seeing the light and looking for alternatives to the 4-year college path. Class sizes may be getting smaller everywhere.
Part 2:
Under DEI, one’s degree of oppression is determined based upon where one resides on a so-called intersectional pyramid of oppression where whites, Jews, and Asians are deemed oppressors, and a subset of people of color, LGBTQ people, and/or women are deemed to be oppressed. Under this ideology which is the philosophical underpinning of DEI as advanced by Ibram X. Kendi and others, one is either an anti-racist or a racist. There is no such thing as being “not racist.”
Under DEI’s ideology, any policy, program, educational system, economic system, grading system, admission policy, (and even climate change due its disparate impact on geographies and the people that live there), etc. that leads to unequal outcomes among people of different skin colors is deemed racist.
As a result, according to DEI, capitalism is racist, Advanced Placement exams are racist, IQ tests are racist, corporations are racist, or in other words, any merit-based program, system, or organization which has or generates outcomes for different races that are at variance with the proportion these different races represent in the population at large is by definition racist under DEI’s ideology.
In order to be deemed anti-racist, one must personally take action to reverse any unequal outcomes in society. The DEI movement, which has permeated many universities, corporations, and state, local and federal governments, is designed to be the anti-racist engine to transform society from its currently structurally racist state to an anti-racist one.
After the death of George Floyd, the already burgeoning DEI movement took off without any real challenge to its problematic ideology. Why, you might ask, was there so little pushback? The answer is that anyone who dared to raise a question which challenged DEI was deemed a racist, a label which could severely impact one’s employment, social status, reputation and more. Being called a racist got people cancelled, so those concerned about DEI and its societal and legal implications had no choice but to keep quiet in this new climate of fear.
The techniques that DEI has used to squelch the opposition are found in the Red Scares and McCarthyism of decades past. If you challenge DEI, “justice” will be swift, and you may find yourself unemployed, shunned by colleagues, cancelled, and/or you will otherwise put your career and acceptance in society at risk.
The DEI movement has also taken control of speech. Certain speech is no longer permitted. So-called “microaggressions” are treated like hate speech. “Trigger warnings” are required to protect students. “Safe spaces” are necessary to protect students from the trauma inflicted by words that are challenging to the students’ newly-acquired world views. Campus speakers and faculty with unapproved views are shouted down, shunned, and cancelled.
These speech codes have led to self-censorship by students and faculty of views privately held, but no longer shared. There is no commitment to free expression at Harvard other than for DEI-approved views. This has led to the quashing of conservative and other viewpoints from the Harvard campus and faculty, and contributed to Harvard’s having the lowest free speech ranking of 248 universities assessed by the Foundation of Individual Rights and Expression.
When one examines DEI and its ideological heritage, it does not take long to understand that the movement is inherently inconsistent with basic American values. Our country since its founding has been about creating and building a democracy with equality of opportunity for all. Millions of people have left behind socialism and communism to come to America to start again, as they have seen the destruction leveled by an equality of outcome society.
The E for “equity” in DEI is about equality of outcome, not equality of opportunity.
DEI is racist because reverse racism is racism, even if it is against white people (and it is remarkable that I even need to point this out). Racism against white people has become considered acceptable by many not to be racism, or alternatively, it is deemed acceptable racism. While this is, of course, absurd, it has become the prevailing view in many universities around the country.
You can say things about white people today in universities, in business or otherwise, that if you switched the word ‘white’ to ‘black,’ the consequences to you would be costly and severe.
To state what should otherwise be self-evident, whether or not a statement is racist should not depend upon whether the target of the racism is a group who currently represents a majority or minority of the country or those who have a lighter or darker skin color. Racism against whites is as reprehensible as it is against groups with darker skin colors.
Substack says it's too long, so doing this in parts!
In light of today’s news, I thought I would try to take a step back and provide perspective on what this is really all about.
I first became concerned about @Harvard when 34 Harvard student organizations, early on the morning of October 8th before Israel had taken any military actions in Gaza, came out publicly in support of Hamas, a globally recognized terrorist organization, holding Israel ‘solely responsible’ for Hamas’ barbaric and heinous acts.
How could this be? I wondered.
When I saw President Gay’s initial statement about the massacre, it provided more context (!) for the student groups’ statement of support for terrorism. The protests began as pro-Palestine and then became anti-Israel. Shortly, thereafter, antisemitism exploded on campus as protesters who violated Harvard’s own codes of conduct were emboldened by the lack of enforcement of Harvard’s rules, and kept testing the limits on how aggressive, intimidating, and disruptive they could be to Jewish and Israeli students, and the student body at large. Sadly, antisemitism remains a simmering source of hate even at our best universities among a subset of students.
A few weeks later, I went up to campus to see things with my own eyes, and listen and learn from students and faculty. I met with 15 or so members of the faculty and a few hundred students in small and large settings, and a clearer picture began to emerge.
I ultimately concluded that antisemitism was not the core of the problem, it was simply a troubling warning sign – it was the “canary in the coal mine” – despite how destructive it was in impacting student life and learning on campus.
I came to learn that the root cause of antisemitism at Harvard was an ideology that had been promulgated on campus, an oppressor/oppressed framework, that provided the intellectual bulwark behind the protests, helping to generate anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hate speech and harassment.
Then I did more research. The more I learned, the more concerned I became, and the more ignorant I realized I had been about DEI, a powerful movement that has not only pervaded Harvard, but the educational system at large. I came to understand that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion was not what I had naively thought these words meant.
I have always believed that diversity is an important feature of a successful organization, but by diversity I mean diversity in its broadest form: diversity of viewpoints, politics, ethnicity, race, age, religion, experience, socioeconomic background, sexual identity, gender, one’s upbringing, and more.
What I learned, however, was that DEI was not about diversity in its purest form, but rather DEI was a political advocacy movement on behalf of certain groups that are deemed oppressed under DEI’s own methodology.
Thank you for posting. I was able
to see it when I posted link in web.
Part 3:
Martin Luther King’s most famous words are instructive: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
But here we are in 2024, being asked and in some cases required to use skin color to effect outcomes in admissions (recently deemed illegal by the Supreme Court), in business (likely illegal yet it happens nonetheless) and in government (also I believe in most cases to be illegal, except apparently in government contracting), rather than the content of one’s character. As such, a meritocracy is an anathema to the DEI movement. DEI is inherently a racist and illegal movement in its implementation even if it purports to work on behalf of the so-called oppressed.
And DEI’s definition of oppressed is fundamentally flawed.
I have always believed that the most fortunate should help the least fortunate, and that our system should be designed in such a way as to maximize the size of the overall pie so that it will enable us to provide an economic system which can offer quality of life, education, housing, and healthcare for all.
America is a rich country and we have made massive progress over the decades toward achieving this goal, but we obviously have much more work to do. Steps taken on the path to socialism – another word for an equality of outcome system – will reverse this progress and ultimately impoverish us all. We have seen this movie many times.
Having a darker skin color, a less common sexual identity, and/or being a woman doesn’t make one necessarily oppressed or even disadvantaged. While slavery remains a permanent stain on our country’s history – a fact which is used by DEI to label white people as oppressors – it doesn’t therefore hold that all white people generations after the abolishment of slavery should be held responsible for its evils. Similarly, the fact that Columbus discovered America doesn’t make all modern-day Italians colonialists.
An ideology that portrays a bicameral world of oppressors and the oppressed based principally on race or sexual identity is a fundamentally racist ideology that will likely lead to more racism rather than less. A system where one obtains advantages by virtue of one’s skin color is a racist system, and one that will generate resentment and anger among the un-advantaged who will direct their anger at the favored groups.
The country has seen burgeoning resentment and anger grow materially over the last few years, and the DEI movement is an important contributor to our growing divisiveness. Resentment is one of the most important drivers of racism. And it is the lack of equity, i.e, fairness, in how DEI operates, that contributes to this resentment.
I was accused of being a racist from the President of the NAACP among others when I posted on
@X
that I had learned that the Harvard President search process excluded candidates that did not meet the DEI criteria. I didn’t say that former President Gay was hired because she was a black woman. I simply said that I had heard that the search process by its design excluded a large percentage of potential candidates due to the DEI limitations. My statement was not a racist one. It was simply the empirical truth about the Harvard search process that led to Gay’s hiring.
When former President Gay was hired, I knew little about her, but I was instinctually happy for Harvard and the black community. Every minority community likes to see their representatives recognized in important leadership positions, and it is therefore an important moment for celebration. I too celebrated this achievement. I am inspired and moved by others’ success, and I thought of Gay’s hiring at the pinnacle leadership position at perhaps our most important and iconic university as an important and significant milestone for the black community.
I have spent the majority of my life advocating on behalf of and supporting members of disadvantaged communities including by investing several hundreds of millions of dollars of philanthropic assets to help communities in need with economic development, sensible criminal justice reform, poverty reduction, healthcare, education, workforce housing, charter schools, and more.
I have done the same at Pershing Square Capital Management when, for example, we completed one of the largest IPOs ever with the substantive assistance of a number of minority-owned, women-owned, and Veteran-owned investment banks. Prior to the Pershing Square Tontine, Ltd. IPO, it was standard practice for big corporations occasionally to name a few minority-owned banks in their equity and bond offerings, have these banks do no work and sell only a de minimis amount of stock or bonds, and allocate to them only 1% or less of the underwriting fees so that the issuers could virtue signal that they were helping minority communities.
In our IPO, we invited the smaller banks into the deal from the beginning of the process so they could add real value. As a result, the Tontine IPO was one of the largest and most successful IPOs in history with $12 billion of demand for a $4 billion deal by the second day of the IPO, when we closed the books. The small banks earned their 20% share of the fees for delivering real and substantive value and for selling their share of the stock.
Compare this approach to the traditional one where the small banks do effectively nothing to earn their fees – they aren’t given that opportunity – yet, they get a cut of the deal, albeit a tiny one. The traditional approach does not create value for anyone. It only creates resentment, and an uncomfortable feeling from the small banks who get a tiny piece of the deal in a particularly bad form of affirmative action.
While I don’t think our approach to working with the smaller banks has yet achieved the significant traction it deserves, it will hopefully happen eventually as the smaller banks build their competencies and continue to earn their fees, and other issuers see the merit of this approach. We are going to need assistance with a large IPO soon so we are looking forward to working with our favored smaller banks.
I have always believed in giving disadvantaged groups a helping hand. I signed the Giving Pledge for this reason. My life plan by the time I was 18 was to be successful and then return the favor to those less fortunate. This always seemed to the right thing to do, in particular, for someone as fortunate as I am.
All of the above said, it is one thing to give disadvantaged people the opportunities and resources so that they can help themselves. It is another to select a candidate for admission or for a leadership role when they are not qualified to serve in that role.
This appears to have been the case with former President Gay’s selection. She did not possess the leadership skills to serve as Harvard’s president, putting aside any questions about her academic credentials. This became apparent shortly after October 7th, but there were many signs before then when she was Dean of the faculty.
The result was a disaster for Harvard and for Claudine Gay.
The Harvard board should not have run a search process which had a predetermined objective of only hiring a DEI-approved candidate. In any case, there are many incredibly talented black men and women who could have been selected by Harvard to serve as its president so why did the Harvard Corporation board choose Gay?
One can only speculate without knowing all of the facts, but it appears Gay’s leadership in the creation of Harvard’s Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging and the penetration of the DEI ideology into the Corporation board room perhaps made Gay the favored candidate. The search was also done at a time when many other top universities had similar DEI-favored candidate searches underway for their presidents, reducing the number of potential candidates available in light of the increased competition for talent.
"Some folks see this as “too little, too late,” because most of the jabs have already entered arms, and jab uptake is now dwindling to embarrassingly-low levels. But that’s not the point."
YES, it *is* the point. This should have been done long ago, and so much harm, misery, and death would have been avoided. Shame on all of our public officials. None of them have done nearly enough.
The burden of proof should have always been on the manufacturers. It was easy for us to show they couldn't prove safety, because studies were not completed before the toxic products were rolled out to the public - and studies were not adequately designed to begin with.
I was thinking about all I knew who were compliant and without thought took the shots just so they could travel. British airways crew and passengers all witnessed or found out about the 2 deaths and understood what happened. They aren't ready to admit the enormity of the mistake they made getting the vaxx. So far 2024 has been carnage for all the illnesses, cancers and deaths - to the vaxxed. 😔😒
Annie, I believe it will get worse. 2024 with more deaths and illnesses from the ‘jab.’
Agree. And it's only the 4th of January.
There were never any genotoxicty nor cancer studies in the original trial, just what was done in the past, never to see the light of day in the COVID shot trials
VA still offering covid death shots to veterans.
Pennsylvania cheated.

The story of Jeffrey Epstein is much more complex and much more relevant to the cause of most C&C readers than the salacious, tawdry, ghastly and cruelty of what makes the news. And, I believe, that is by design. The most important story of Jeffrey Epstein that is only given passing reference to is his connection to the live and thriving industry and public policymaking of Eugenics. Master race type stuff. Man's futile and cruel attempts at perfecting God's perfect creation.
Socialism and Eugenics go hand-in-hand. The need for an elite class of man to rule over his lesser and less fortunate masses of lower classes. Castes. Monarchs. All the same, those with power declaring themselves cut from a finer cloth of man than those without, who's only obligation to the lower castes, classes is that of good stewardship, as a sheep herder tends to his flock that sometimes needs to be culled. Socialism, as Churchill said, being best at sharing misery equally among the masses.
Epstein was an ardent Eugenicist. It's what drove his sexual exploitation along with those around him, supporting him. Epstein saved his sperm in labs in order to impregnate as many women as he could who fit his idea of the perfect genetic fit for his sperm. His targets were young women recently passing into puberty who could act as his baby factories. He wanted hundreds, thousands of his progeny to populate the planet. Was an admirer of Genghis Khan for his large contributions to the human gene pool.
His most frequent visitors were brilliant scientists, evolutionary genetic design, viral evolution, game theory mathematics, the biological sciences, microbiological sciences, computer sciences, AI, climate science, geoengineering, senior corporate executives, political leaders, propaganda and psychology - he himself became so proficient a hobbyist at psychology that he was brought on to teach psychology as a professor at Harvard, lacking any formal education in the field. And this was while he was funding leading eugenics researchers, like George Church at Harvard and other cohorts at nearby MIT.
That was the brains side of his ideal gene pool. On the looks side his most frequent visitors were supermodels, singers, actresses, other beautiful and glamorous starlets. His goal was to develop the best looking, smartest directed genetic design population possible, which he believed he was an essential part of. The AI revolution, transhumanism, social credit systems, all of these hazards we see ahead were desirable components of a future he was working towards. And was helping to build. The pandemic itself, mandates and protocols it set off were within the bailiwick of his research and network connections he was in the center of building. There's no way his work, when you look at who was in his long-ago released little black book was a coincidence to what we see being radically transformed across the globe. And I submit to readers who choose to research those names in his little black book (not the court case depositions being re-released today) that the real reason Epstein didn't kill himself has less to do with the sexual violations and depredations against minors, and more to do with his connection to the Fascist/Marxist/Oligarch/Technocrat attempted takeover of mankind we are attempting to fight against today. The sex aspect of the Epstein story is a distraction from the real threat that his loose lips posed to the real agendas of the powerful sociopaths attacking humanity today.
His life was also inextricably linked to the lives of our very real oppressors today, the ones who are seeking to exterminate most of humanity and leave the rest behind in a dystopian future serving a master race. The very same people who hate Deplorables, Bitter Clingers, Ultra MAGA for daring to stand against them, their nightmarish dreams.

In lengthy comments I need to split below is a beginning primer of research on exactly who is in Epstein's Little Black Book. Spot the patterns for yourself if you take the time to read through this. And note that this big dump of information I excerpted from much, much more information. It's a big, big research project to dive into, I've been on an extended break from it after pushing through this much back in August, 2023.
John Brockman
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Brockman_(literary_agent):
"John Brockman (born February 16, 1941) is an American literary agent and author specializing in scientific literature. He established the Edge Foundation, an organization that brings together leading edge thinkers across a broad range of scientific and technical fields.
He led a scientific salon for 20 years, asking an annual question to a host of renowned scientists and publishing their answers in book form,[3] which he decided to symbolically close down in 2018.[4]
He is an editor of Edge.org
In an interview with Prince Andrew dated November 17, 2019, BBC reporter Emily Maitlis mentioned that both Andrew and John Brockman attended an intimate dinner at child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion to celebrate Epstein’s release from prison for charges which stemmed from at least one decade of child sex trafficking.[7]
Andrew’s presence at Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan mansion was corroborated by Brockman himself, in emails published in an October 2019 New Republic report. The story suggested that Brockman was the “intellectual enabler” of Jeffrey Epstein, the financier who died in August 2019 while again awaiting trial on charges related to sex trafficking.[8]"
Gerald Edelman
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Edelman:
"Gerald Maurice Edelman (/ˈɛdəlmən/; July 1, 1929 – May 17, 2014) was an American biologist who shared the 1972 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for work with Rodney Robert Porter on the immune system.[1] Edelman's Nobel Prize-winning research concerned discovery of the structure of antibody molecules.[2] In interviews, he has said that the way the components of the immune system evolve over the life of the individual is analogous to the way the components of the brain evolve in a lifetime. There is a continuity in this way between his work on the immune system, for which he won the Nobel Prize, and his later work in neuroscience and in philosophy of mind."
Murray Gell-Mann
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_Gell-Mann:
"Murray Gell-Mann (/ˈmʌri ˈɡɛl ˈmæn/; September 15, 1929 – May 24, 2019)[3][4][5] was an American physicist who played a preeminent role in the development of the theory of elementary particles. Gell-Mann introduced the concept of quarks as the fundamental building blocks of the strongly interacting particles, and the renormalization group as a foundational element of quantum field theory and statistical mechanics.
Gell-Mann spent several periods at CERN, a nuclear research facility in Switzerland, among others as a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellow in 1972.[27][28]
As a humanist and an agnostic, Gell-Mann was a Humanist Laureate in the International Academy of Humanism
In 1984 Gell-Mann was one of several co-founders of the Santa Fe Institute—a non-profit theoretical research institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico intended to study various aspects of a complex system and disseminate the notion of a separate interdisciplinary study of complexity theory

Stephen Kosslyn
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Kosslyn:
"Stephen Michael Kosslyn (born 1948) is an American psychologist and neuroscientist. Kosslyn is best known for his work on visual cognition and the science of learning. Kosslyn currently serves as the president of Active Learning Sciences Inc., which helps institutions design active-learning based courses and educational programs. He is also the founder and chief academic officer of Foundry College, an online two-year college.[1]
Kosslyn attended graduate school at Stanford University and received a PhD in psychology from Stanford in 1974.[2] After an appointment as assistant professor of psychology at Johns Hopkins, he joined the faculty at Harvard in 1977, where he is currently listed as Professor Emeritus.[3] At Harvard, Kosslyn served as the departmental chair, Dean of Social Sciences, and the John Lindsley Professor. He also was co-director of the Mind of the Market Lab at Harvard Business School and was an associate in the department of neurology at the Massachusetts General Hospital. In 2010, Kosslyn was appointed director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University.[4] Kosslyn was then the Founding Dean and Chief Academic Officer of the Minerva Schools (now Minerva University).
Between 1998 and 2002, Kosslyn received $200,000 in donations from Jeffrey Epstein for his research.[5][6] A report from Harvard University shows Kosslyn had known Epstein for about nine years and supported his application as a visiting fellow in the department of psychology in September 2005.[5][7] The report concluded that Kosslyn did not disclose Epstein's donations in the accompanying documents. Epstein "lacked academic qualifications," but there was speculation that his application was approved with the support of Kosslyn as the head of the department.[5][8] The report also noted that disclosure was not requested and Harvard—having accepted the gifts—was previously aware of this funding. Epstein withdrew from his appointment in 2006 following his arrest for sex criminal offenses. Kosslyn has published over 350 scientific papers and written or co-authored 15 books and edited or co-edited 13 books, including:[10]"
Lawrence Krauss
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Krauss:
"Lawrence Maxwell Krauss (born May 27, 1954) is an American theoretical physicist and cosmologist who previously taught at Arizona State University, Yale University, and Case Western Reserve University. He founded ASU's Origins Project in 2008 to investigate fundamental questions about the universe and served as the project's director.
Krauss is an advocate for public understanding of science, public policy based on sound empirical data, scientific skepticism, and science education. An anti-theist, Krauss seeks to reduce the influence of what he regards as superstition and religious dogma in popular culture.[2]
Krauss has described himself as an antitheist[39] and takes part in public debates on religion. Krauss is featured in the 2013 documentary The Unbelievers, in which he and Richard Dawkins travel across the globe speaking publicly about the importance of science and reason as opposed to religion and superstition.[40] He has participated in many debates with religious apologists, including William Lane Craig[41] and John Lennox.[42]
In his book A Universe from Nothing: Why There is Something Rather than Nothing (2012), Krauss discusses the premise that something cannot come from nothing, which has often been used as an argument for the existence of a prime mover. He has since argued in a debate with John Ellis and Don Cupitt that the laws of physics allow for the Universe to be created from nothing. "What would be the characteristics of a universe that was created from nothing, just with the laws of physics and without any supernatural shenanigans? The characteristics of the universe would be precisely those of the ones we live in."[43] In an interview with The Atlantic, however, he states that he has never claimed that "questions about origins are over". According to Krauss, "I don't ever claim to resolve that infinite regress of why-why-why-why-why; as far as I'm concerned it's turtles all the way down".[44]
With the publication of his book, The Physics of Climate Change (2021), Krauss urged the use of science, and not politics, ideology, or emotion, to steer the public debate on how to address climate change.[45]"
Marvin Minsky
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_Minsky:
"Marvin Lee Minsky (August 9, 1927 – January 24, 2016) was an American cognitive and computer scientist concerned largely with research of artificial intelligence (AI), co-founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's AI laboratory, and author of several texts concerning AI and philosophy.[12][13][14][15]
Minsky received many accolades and honors, including the 1969 Turing Award.
His doctoral dissertation was titled "Theory of neural-analog reinforcement systems and its application to the brain-model problem."[18][19][20] He was a Junior Fellow of the Harvard Society of Fellows from 1954 to 1957.[21][22]
He was on the MIT faculty from 1958 to his death. He joined the staff at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in 1958, and a year later he and John McCarthy initiated what is, as of 2019, named the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.[23][24] He was the Toshiba Professor of Media Arts and Sciences, and professor of electrical engineering and computer science.
In the early 1970s, at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab, Minsky and Papert started developing what came to be known as the Society of Mind theory. The theory attempts to explain how what we call intelligence could be a product of the interaction of non-intelligent parts. Minsky says that the biggest source of ideas about the theory came from his work in trying to create a machine that uses a robotic arm, a video camera, and a computer to build with children's blocks. In 1986, Minsky published The Society of Mind, a comprehensive book on the theory which, unlike most of his previously published work, was written for the general public.
Minsky was an atheist.[37] He was a signatory to the Scientists' Open Letter on Cryonics.[38]"
Steven Pinker
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Pinker:
"Steven Arthur Pinker (born September 18, 1954)[2][3] is a Canadian-American cognitive psychologist, psycholinguist, popular science author, and public intellectual. He is an advocate of evolutionary psychology and the computational theory of mind.[4][5][6][7]
Pinker is the Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, and his academic specializations are visual cognition and developmental linguistics. His experimental subjects include mental imagery, shape recognition, visual attention, children's language development, regular and irregular phenomena in language, the neural bases of words and grammar, as well as the psychology of cooperation and communication, including euphemism, innuendo, emotional expression, and common knowledge.
Pinker's book The Better Angels of Our Nature (2011) posits that violence in human societies has generally declined over time, and identifies six major trends and five historical forces of this decline, the most important being the humanitarian revolution brought by the Enlightenment and its associated cultivation of reason. Enlightenment Now (2018) further argues that the human condition has generally improved over recent history because of reason, science, and humanism. The nature and importance of reason is also discussed in his next book Rationality: What It Is, Why It Seems Scarce, Why It Matters (2021).
In 2004, Pinker was named in Time's "The 100 Most Influential People in the World Today", and in the years 2005, 2008, 2010, and 2011 in Foreign Policy's list of "Top 100 Global Thinkers".[9] Pinker was also included in Prospect Magazine's top 10 "World Thinkers" in 2013.[10] He has won awards from the American Psychological Association, the National Academy of Sciences, the Royal Institution, the Cognitive Neuroscience Society, and the American Humanist Association."
Robert Trivers
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Trivers:
"Robert Ludlow "Bob" Trivers (/ˈtrɪvərz/; born February 19, 1943) is an American evolutionary biologist and sociobiologist. Trivers proposed the theories of reciprocal altruism (1971), parental investment (1972), facultative sex ratio determination (1973), and parent–offspring conflict (1974). He has also contributed by explaining self-deception as an adaptive evolutionary strategy (first described in 1976) and discussing intragenomic conflict.[2]
Trivers was awarded the 2007 Crafoord Prize in Biosciences for "his fundamental analysis of social evolution, conflict and cooperation".[6][7]
Trivers met Huey P. Newton, Chairman of the Black Panther Party, in 1978 when Newton applied while in prison to do a reading course with Trivers as part of a graduate degree in History of Consciousness at UC Santa Cruz.[8] Trivers and Newton became close friends: Newton was godfather to one of Trivers's daughters.[9] Trivers joined the Black Panther Party in 1979.[10] Trivers and Newton published an analysis of the role of self-deception by the flight crew in the crash of Air Florida Flight 90.[11] Trivers was "ex-communicated" from the Panthers by Newton in 1982 for "his own good."[12]
Trivers wrote the original foreword to Richard Dawkins' book The Selfish Gene, in which Trivers first proposed his adaptive theory of self-deception. In the 2006 anniversary edition of The Selfish Gene, Dawkins wrote a new introduction in which he stated

Trivers is among the most influential evolutionary theorists alive today.[15] Steven Pinker considers Trivers to be "one of the great thinkers in the history of Western thought", who has:[16]
...inspired an astonishing amount of research and commentary in psychology and biology—the fields of sociobiology, evolutionary psychology, Darwinian social science, and behavioral ecology are in large part attempt to test and flesh out Trivers's ideas. It is no coincidence that E. O. Wilson's Sociobiology and Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene were published in 1975 and 1976 respectively, just a few years after Trivers's seminal papers. Both bestselling authors openly acknowledged that they were popularizing Trivers's ideas and the research they spawned. Likewise for the much-talked-about books on evolutionary psychology in the 1990s—The Adapted Mind, The Red Queen, Born to Rebel, The Origins of Virtue, The Moral Animal, and my own How the Mind Works. Each of these books is based in large part on Trivers's ideas and the explosion of research they inspired, involving dozens of animal species, mathematical and computer modeling, and human social and cognitive psychology.
Trivers believes that girls mature earlier than in the past. He writes “By the time they’re 14 or 15, they’re like grown women were 60 years ago."
Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University was set up in the 1950's with funding from mostly the CIA to study first how to screen people who could be hypnotized fast (about 30% of humans), who could be hypnotized using mental deplatforming drugs like LSD and heroin (about 60%), and who could not (about 10%). They figured out which frequencies from radio waves to physical movements such as the opening and closing of a hypnotist's hand in front of a face or a swinging watch could hypnotize susceptible people fast.
CASBS was (and still is) a leading academic USA federal contractor which ran the mind 1960's mind control drug experiments detailed obliquely in Ken Kesey's novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest at the Menlo Park and Palo Alto Veterans Administration hospitals. No informed patient consent for those human medical guinea pigs all in the name of fighting the Cold War and ever more black budget funding naturally. A massive 5(+)G tower is at CASBS today, easily visible when the campus golf course street's gate to CASBS is open.
FWIW, "Brave New World" British author Aldous Huxley first experimented with LSD at Stanford right as the CASBS was firing up. His ideal "soma" fictional drug to control the masses while all babies were grown in test tubes was his pipe dream of how to ensure world peace. He never had children of his own. Lived most of his life as a closet homosexual who committed suicide with a deliberate overdose of LSD at his California home below the "HOLLYWOOD" sign. The USA, UK and Canada were all neck deep in the last decade of his life messing with mind control research on individuals and the mass media.
Aldous' brother Julian was the first director of UNESCO. His brother Andrew got a Nobel Prize for work on nerve cells.
Yep, Epstein BFF Stephen Kosslyn in comment above led it, too. Joe Pagano in comment below invested in PCR testing technology, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, human genome (genetics/eugenics) tech, the Epstein story is a very complex, interconnected, hub of activity that connects many of the seemingly independent strings pulling at our global society together. The sex with kids focus serves the purpose of diverting attention from the more important Epstein connections we should be making.
And when you see someone described as a "Humanist" know that that word is generally a euphemism for Atheist, Socialist and Eugenicist.
Nathan Myhrvold
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Myhrvold
Nathan Paul Myhrvold (born August 3, 1959), formerly Chief Technology Officer at Microsoft, is co-founder of Intellectual Ventures and the principal author of Modernist Cuisine and its successor books. Myhrvold was listed as co-inventor on 17[1] U.S. patents at Microsoft and is co-inventor on over 900 other U.S. patents issued to his corporation and its affiliates.[2]
Intellectual Ventures
Main article: Intellectual Ventures
After Microsoft, in 2000 Myhrvold co-founded Intellectual Ventures,[12] a patent portfolio developer and broker in the areas of technology and energy, which has acquired over 30,000 patents.[13] Intellectual Ventures takes part in the market for inventions and patents, buying patents from companies and inventors under the assumption the patents will be more valuable in the future. IV also files patents through the work of a team of on-site inventors. Startup companies spun out of IV, including TerraPower, Kymeta, Echodyne, Modern Electron, Lumotive, Evolv Technology, and Pivotal Commware, have developed commercial products from IV's inventions. Through its Global Good unit, which Myhrvold founded in collaboration with Bill Gates, IV has also invented and produced commercial products, such as improved vaccine coolers and milking cans, aimed at low-income markets in Africa and Asia.[14] However, in most cases, IV's inventions are limited to the descriptions provided in their patents, which are bundled into portfolios for licensing.
Advocacy
In interviews with CNN, SuperFreakonomics author Stephen Dubner, and Scientific American, Myhrvold has discussed ways to reverse some of the effects of global warming/climate change by using geoengineering.[54] Myhrvold and other inventors working with Intellectual Ventures have proposed several approaches, including one that would use hoses, suspended from helium balloons 25 kilometers (16 mi) above the Earth at high latitudes, to emit sulfur dioxide, which is known to scatter light.
Science
In addition to his business activities, Myhrvold is a working scientist who has published original, peer-reviewed research in the fields of paleobiology,[22] climate science,[23] and astronomy.[24] A prize-winning nature and wildlife photographer, he has also been involved with paleontological research on expeditions with the Museum of the Rockies. His work has appeared in scientific journals including Science,[25] Nature,[26] Paleobiology,[27] PLOS One,[28] and the Physical Review,[29] as well as in Fortune, Time, Scientific American,[30][31] National Geographic Traveler, and Slate. He and Peter Rinearson helped Bill Gates write The Road Ahead, a book about the future that reached No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list in 1995 and 1996. Myhrvold has contributed $1 million to the nonprofit SETI Institute in Mountain View, CA, for the development of the Allen Telescope Array, which was envisioned to be the most powerful instrument for SETI.[32]
Personal life
Myhrvold is married to Rosemarie Havranek, whom he met while studying at Princeton. They have twin sons, Conor and Cameron A. Myhrvold.[67][68] Cameron heads a lab researching CRISPR-based technologies for studying RNA as an assistant professor of molecular biology at Princeton University.[69
Intellectual Ventures
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_Ventures
Intellectual Ventures Lab
In 2009, Intellectual Ventures launched a prototyping and research laboratory, Intellectual Ventures Lab, hiring scientists to imagine inventions which could exist but do not yet exist, and then filing descriptions of these inventions with the US Patent Office. Notable participants include Robert Langer of MIT, Leroy Hood of the Institute for Systems Biology, Ed Harlow of Harvard Medical School, Bran Ferren and Danny Hillis of Applied Minds, and Sir John Pendry of Imperial College.[citation needed] The Sunday Times reported that the company applies for about 450 patents per year, in areas from vaccine research to optical computing and, as of May 2010, 91 of the applications had been approved.[12] Internally developed inventions include a safer nuclear reactor design (which won the MIT Technology Review Top 10 Emerging Technologies in 2009) that can use uranium waste as fuel or thorium which is plentiful and poses no proliferation risk,[13] a mosquito-targeting laser,[14] and a series of computer models of infectious disease.[15]
Their efforts to promote a method to reverse or reduce the effects of global climate change by artificially recreating the conditions from the aftermath of a volcanic eruption gained media coverage following the release of the book SuperFreakonomics, whose chapter about global warming proposes that the global climate can be regulated by geo-engineering of a stratoshield[16] based upon patented technology from the company.[17] The chapter has been criticized by some economists and climate science experts who say it contains numerous misleading statements and discredited arguments, including this presentation of geoengineering as a replacement for CO2 emissions reduction. Among the critics are Paul Krugman,[18] Brad DeLong,[19] The Guardian,[20] and The Economist.[21] Elizabeth Kolbert, a science writer for The New Yorker who has written extensively on global warming, contends that "just about everything they [Levitt and Dubner] have to say on the topic is, factually speaking, wrong."[22] In response, Levitt and Dubner have stated on their Freakonomics blog that global warming is man-made and an important issue. They warn against claims of an inevitable doomsday; instead they look to raise awareness of less traditional or popular, methods to tackle the potential problem of global warming.[23]
Global Good
Global Good was a not-for-profit collaboration between the firm and the Gates family, to develop solutions for pressing problems in the developing world. Its technologies included:
Arktek, a passive vaccine storage device that allows vaccines to be transported to parts of the world that lack reliable refrigeration. It uses a small amount of ice for cooling and requires no external power supply, relying on extraordinary insulation.[25] The device has been used to transport vaccines around the world, and Myhrvold believes the device may be useful for transporting organs. The firm produced a modified version of the Arktek to transport newly developed Ebola vaccines to Sierra Leone and Guinea during the 2014 Ebola outbreak at the required much colder temperature.[26]
The Photonic Fence is a device to identify and kill mosquitos with lasers to prevent malaria, suggested by Lowell Wood, a company researcher. The device uses a non-lethal laser to track insects and monitor their wing-beat frequency. If it detects a female mosquito, the device fires a kill laser. It has an effective range of 100 feet and can purportedly kill up to 100 mosquitoes per second. The device has not yet been mass-produced,.[27]
The Autoscope uses artificial intelligence to diagnose malaria. The device has been field-tested in Thailand and reportedly outperformed the average human diagnostician. It too is not yet scheduled for mass-production.[28]
Mazzi is a milk jug designed for farmers in the developing world. The firm partnered with Heifer International to design the jug, which is cheap, sturdy, and easy to clean with features a funnel that results in decreased spillage.
In mid-2020, Global Good was dismantled, with some of its components (most notably the Institute for Disease Modeling) transitioning into the Gates Foundation, and some evolving into new entities under Gates Ventures.[29]
The company has been accused of hiding behind shell companies for earlier lawsuits,[39] an accusation consistent with the findings of NPR's Planet Money in July 2011.[40] The episode, which also aired as the This American Life episode "When Patents Attack",[41] was dedicated to software patents, prominently featuring Intellectual Ventures. It includes sources accusing Intellectual Ventures of pursuing a strategy encouraging mutually assured destruction, including Chris Sacca calling Myhrvold's argument that Intellectual Ventures is offering protection from lawsuits in a "mafia-style shakedown".[42] However, the firm's internal research, development, and commercialization activities have softened this image."

The Talented Mr. Epstein
Vanity Fair, March 1, 2003
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2003/03/jeffrey-epstein-200303:
"Joe Pagano, an Aspen-based venture capitalist, who has known Epstein since before his Bear Stearns days, can’t say enough nice things: “I have a boy who’s dyslexic, and Jeffrey’s gotten close to him over the years…. Jeffrey got him into music. He bought him his first piano. And then as he got to school he had difficulty … in studying … so Jeffrey got him interested in taking flying lessons.”

Sentigen Holding Profile and History
Sentigen Holding Corp. conducts business through two wholly-owned operating subsidiaries: Sentigen Biosciences, Inc. ("Sentigen Biosciences") and Cell & Molecular Technologies, Inc. ("CMT").
Invitrogen
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invitrogen
Invitrogen is one of several brands under the Thermo Fisher Scientific corporation. The product line includes various subbrands of biotechnology products, such as machines and consumables for polymerase chain reaction, reverse transcription, cloning, culturing, stem cell production, cell therapy, regenerative medicine, immunotherapy, transfection, DNA/RNA purification, diagnostic tests, antibodies, and immunoassays.
In 2008, Invitrogen virtually doubled its size with the purchase of biotech instrumentation company Applied Biosystems, maker of DNA sequencing and PCR machines and reagents. The company then renamed the overall organization as Life Technologies. The Invitrogen brand and most of the brands acquired still exist on product packaging, although the overall company is called Life Technologies. In summer 2010, the company acquired the computer chip DNA sequencing company Ion Torrent Systems. Through this history of acquisitions and continued product research and development, Invitrogen / Life Technologies had over 50,000 products.
Innovation and impact
Under a contract from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), the company developed a prototype hand-held pathogen detection system for the detection of multiple toxins such as ricin, staphylococcal enterotoxin, and botulinum toxin, as well as bacteria that cause anthrax, plague, and other diseases, in a single sample.[4] Invitrogen was also awarded a contract to provide kits for detecting possible E. coli O157 contamination in food at the 2008 Summer Olympcics in Beijing, China.[citation needed] The monitoring program, based on World Health Organization food standards, is conducted by the Beijing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Olympic Food Safety program. Similarly, the company's PathAlert technology was selected to monitor Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of the plague, at the Torino Winter Games in 2006. Their Qubit platform for RNA, DNA, and protein quantitation was awarded an R&D 100 Award as being a "Top 100 Technologically Significant New Product" by R&D Magazine.[5]

Wow
Epstein did even more financial crime then he did Honey pot sex slavery. He was a Mossad asset. Between his efforts snd AIPAC, our congress and presidents are almost all controlled by a foreign government, that has gotten us into numerous pointless and evil wars.
A foreign government? Look deeper, grasshopper. That is a US government proxy. So is Hamas. The money changers and arms merchants are of and profit from all sides in any and all conflicts. The divisions you speak of serve to divide us, distract from the true powers and blue bloods. Most of whom aren't Jewish. If you could see through your biases you'd see the big picture more clearly, grasshopper.
The facts are the facts. Israel controls congress and the Whitehouse. We are being taxed without representation. Netanyahu has spoken about how easily Americans are controlled. We need to root out this foreign influence from our government by refusing to elect any Zionists or Zionist-controlled candidates. Biden has been bribed to the tune of $10 million dollars, look how they threaten those in office who dare speak out against their crimes with funding candidates to run against them, pledging $100 million to sway our election, and not a word of protest from the Russia gate crowd or anyone else. Blood thirsty Hillary is second on their list of most bribed, and Billy’s proclivities for very young girls gave them the leverage there. Notice how formerly rational RFK Jr. fell right in line, saying the most outrageous lies about Gaza and Israel. This dog is being thoroughly wagged by it’s Israeli tail.
Fixing it for you: "Congress and the White House controls Israel. Netanyahu speaks of Americans easily being controlled...as he is easily controlled by America, the UK and the global corporate oligarchies...as he easily controls Israelis. The most heavily vaxxed, surveilled citizens in the world (move over China).
Clinton, Biden, McConnell, Rockefeller, House of Windsor, Carnegie, Gates, Pelosi, Pope Francis, Trudeau, Macron, Hitler, Mao, Stalin, et al - all Jewish? Every last one of them were/are funded by, responsive to the same cabal of even more concealed interests. That aren't homogeneously Jewish.
That's a false divide that those who fall into become weakened and non-threatening to the real powers. The whole "Jews run everything" canard is an example of how easily Americans and Europeans are controlled. It's a pen laser the true cabal points in front of a cat that gets the cat to pounce on all it over a room it's pointed in. Don't be a cat chasing a laser dot aimed by your masters. Don't be easily controlled.
Completely illogical. Why would they spend all that money sponsoring Epstein and buying our politicians? Why an entire division of their military as keyboard warriors pushing their lies? Our government are the willing or coerced servants of the corrupt Israeli genocidal regime. It is leading to the downfall of our nation. The entire world rightfully blames US for sponsoring a most brutal and utterly corrupt and mentally deranged regime there.
You have eyes, Debbie. That just need to be opened wider and let the prism filter between them and the world as it really exists drop away. That prism filter is Jew hate. That blinds, warps reality. Planted there long ago by the same forces you decry.
The US/UK, et al sponsor Israel...and Hamas. The US/UK, et al sponsored Hitler...and Stalin - at the same time we were fighting them! The Bush's made their family fortune as Hitler's banker (working with Rockefeller) so German planes, tanks, bombs and bullets would kill American and British boys from "flyover country." Dulles and other American Fascists - a huge movement in the wealthy and powerful classes - weren't Jewish. What ALL of these people are, regardless of ethnicity, faith, are eugenicists. From an upper class that believes they are generitically superior, others are genetically inferior, and disposable at will. Like Nimrata Kaur Randhawa, aka Nikki Haley. A Brahmin class Indian.
Genetics...eugenics. This evil, that which Epstein and those around him were/are immersed in and subjecting the rest of us to. And to blame/hate others on the basis of their genetics is to become as guilty of evil as they are. Don't fall into their trap of lazy Jew/Zionist hate. They want you to make the same leap into evil that they've made. Be better.
I definitely agree that the Israeli government (and all governments in fact) is servant rather than master. However I'm not sure that you are correct that "most" of the true powers aren't Jewish.
As far as I can tell, the true powers operate through Luciferian secret societies - and they infiltrate and take over existing power structures. There have been many such societies over the centuries - although perhaps they are the same society simply changing its appearance to avoid detection - but I think that Judaism was infiltrated millenia ago, and is itself the oldest such society still in existence.
The heart of darkness seems to be the Rothschild family - and they have undoubtedly infiltrated the British establishment and arguably have been the power behind the throne of the British empire since before it was an empire.
Are the Rothschilds Jewish or British? I suppose you could argue that either way, but
(1) they were surely an occult power manipulating events for their own purposes before they ever set foot in Britain
(2) many of their closest allies are their co-religionists, banking families with whom they have mainatined alliances for centuries
(3) their British empire associates - Rhodes, Milner and the round table, and the Fabian society - would likely be very unhappy with the modern day results of their labors. I would suggest that these men were duped in classic occult society fashion - seduced into cooperation by a noble vision while the seducers maintained a very different vision to which end the laborers willingly devoted their efforts, never realizing the end to which they were actually working.
Just my thoughts, and perhaps I am wrong.
