"Trading Places" revealed the corruption in the Wall Street futures market. I liked it and would watch it again, or as they'd say on American Bandstand, "It's got a good beat, and I can dance to it." Haha

The same producer of Trading Places, Aaron Russo, produced another important film where he exposed how evil our government really is. He died of...cancer...two years after its release at age 67:

From Freedom to Fascism, 2005

It will blow you away with 20/20 hindsight. Especially the second half of it when he followed the leads he found in the first half looking into tax law legitimacy. There's even a clip of Sen. Biden grilling John Roberts at his confirmation hearing about the constitutionality of ID chipping us.

I can't tune into ANY Establishment media platform, whether it's youtube, Spotify, Amazon Prime, MLB, etc, without being reminded of how sick I'm supposed to be. I'm going in for an endoscopy Thursday. The anesthesiologist seemed quite puzzled (Got a little head twist like my dog occasionally gives me) when I told him that I wasn't taking any prescription meds. I told him: "Life's short enough. No need to expedite the proceedings."

He went on to ask if I had been vaxxed, and I - being the consummate wise ass - replied: "For what?"

"Covid."

"Why would you ask?"

"We just like to know."

"Well, let me reiterate: Life is short......"

UPDATE: Finding out some frightening details regarding Upper GI endoscopy complications. Well, this is not making me jump for joy. Time to reconsider?? If anyone is interested, here ya go: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9806027/ https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/253600#1

When asked by my ignorant doctor or every pharmacy about any vaccines, I simply reply NO! I AM A CONSPIRACY THEORIST. That shuts them up and more than one has replied “You aren't the only one!”

There isn't a pill for that so that's an excellent deflection. Although I think Moderna is working on an injection called Conspirinol, which creates a protein called "gulliblin" which makes one more trusting of big pharma. It's already been tested on many health-care workers and congress critters.

They don’t need a pill. They are so educated and some of their long ago school colleagues now run said establishments. They simply trust them like the good 🐑 they are. It is so very sad. They also assume that their colleagues from infectious disease and vaccinology have done their due diligence and simply follow them in line for the next jab. In the meantime, those of us who read, study, ask questions, and don’t trust any government establishment have to wear a mask to protect the morons from us, yet they are the ones getting sick over and over again, because their immune systems are shot and they are so very susceptible, and then they say the asinine, “Thankfully I got my booster and flu shot, so I am just home sick as a dog and not hospitalized,” even though it is over and over again, and then in between illnesses, they are getting treated for cancers of various types or new autoimmune issues, or skin issues, or neurologic issues, or cardiac issues, or, or, or. I want to bang my head against the wall and bop them on the nose. Instead I slip my nose out of my mask, keep strong, and carry on.

Tucker’s interview of Dr Michael Nels is interesting. He brings neuro issues (dementia, alzheimers) into the discussion about the jabs and covid affecting cognition.

Expand full comment

I’m not anti-vax. I’m just waiting for the trials to finish! ;-)

Expand full comment

They finished the third clinical Feb 2023, 5 months early. No results published. Erased the placebo group by giving all who completed the third trial the jab. The date to finish trials and go to market is in 2025.

Skewing the numbers … 20% of trial participants dropped out [refused to continue or were incapacitated/ dead] between the 2nd and 3rd trials, but still Pfizer based their numbers on ~46,000 participants, not ~36,800.

So.

Trials name:

Study to Describe the Safety, Tolerability, Immunogenicity, and Efficacy of RNA Vaccine Candidates Against COVID-19 in Healthy Individuals

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04368728

As of 2/23/2023:

There were 46 sets of changes to the study:

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/history/NCT04368728

Comparison from first to: Feb 1023:

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/history/NCT04368728?A=1&B=46&C=merged#StudyPageTop

So again.

Bait and switch manufactureing processes. What the world did not know was that the "clinical trials" (such as they were) were done using "vaccines" made via Process 1 -- the clean manufacturing process (PCR is clean, but very expensive and much more time-consuming).

What the world rolled its sleeves up for was junk made using Process 2. What has been discovered is that DNA did not get completely purified out of the junk. Part of the problem with this is the lipopolysaccharide or LPS that's in E. coli. LPS is an endotoxin and is responsible for anaphylaxis.

Expand full comment

Exactly I don’t need them having a cardiac episode in the middle of treating me or dead after 1 visit ergo how effective

Expand full comment

There’s a medical code for that.

The CDC rolled out medical tracking codes to tag anyone not following COVID jab orders.

* Z28-310 is for anyone totally unvaccinated for COVID-19.

* Z28-311 is for anyone partially vaccinated but not fully vaccinated with recommended boosters.

* Z28-39 is for “Other under-immunization status.”

* Z71.85 — “Encounter for immunization safety counseling, is to be used for counseling of the patient or caregiver regarding the safety of a vaccine.”

And now the White House is working to empower the WHO to demand these kinds of records and make them available to international tyrants, foreign governments, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).

My stomach could not tolerate ibuprofen very well. Aspirin worked well for me, in spite of all the dire warnings on the bottle.

Hmmm, let’s see….

Ibuprofen:

Active ingredient: 200 mg Ibuprofen (NSAID]

Inactive Ingredients:

Acetylated monoglycerides, colloidal silicon dioxide, corn starch, croscarmellose sodium, methylparaben, microcrystalline cellulose, pharmaceutical glaze, pharmaceutical ink, povidone, pregelatinized starch, propylparaben, sodium benzoate, sodium lauryl sulfate, stearic acid, sucrose, synthetic iron oxide, titanium dioxide, white wax

GeriCare aspirin:

Inactive ingredient:

Corn starch.

Almost 74, and since end Dec, have been dialing down the thyroid which I've been prescribed for 30 years. Taking 10% less every two months-- so I'm now at 70%. This is my own experiment, on my very own body. Oddly, I have energy that I lost about 30 years ago (fancy that!), --cannot believe the amount of heavy garden work I have been getting done---there's little to no hair in shower drain--and since my last haircut was in April '23, there's a lot more hair on my head, so a normal hairwash hair loss should show lots more in the drain. Building muscle, losing fat. More than once a blood-test has been wrong for me, and I had to experiment for myself.

Check out the main ingredient in a bottle of vitamin D3. Then go look at the active ingredient in rat poison. Might get you wondering about what’s going on with all those vitamins they’re pushing.

Expand full comment

Uhhh, no, depends on what vitamin D you are taking. But ours has nothing bad in it.

Vitamin D is quite important for us and if we all spent more time outdoors and ate pastured meat with the fat (pig lard is high in D, for instance), we likely wouldn’t need to supplement.

Expand full comment

Great if it works for you .

Check the labels you might be surprised.

Expand full comment

Agree about checking labels. Some supplements have a lot of unnecessary and even harmful ingredients.

Our D from Sports Research has cholecalciferol, coconut oil MCTs, and a gelatin/glycerol capsule. No rat poison.

Speaking of, Splenda, for those unaware, was originally being made as a form of rat poison - as a neurotoxin. It was accidentally tasted in the lab (dumb lab assistant who did that - never taste stuff in a lab), and it was sweet. So they started selling it. 😡. Per our functional med Dr.

Yep, follow Pam Popper of the Wellness Forum and Make Americans Free Again. She questions supplements as they have side effects as well :/

I've used supplements for many things over the years. My guess is that 80% of supplements on the market are junk and a waste of money. There are a few brands that can be trusted. Nutricology is one and is usually sold in naturalpath doctor offices and such. My favorite brand I trust is https://www.lifeextension.com/

I trust her immensely. She has been in the health and wellness business for years and has been fighting the evil coofid debacle with her lawyers (MAFA) since 2020. She is not against supplements just says they don’t solve the problem just reduces it and have many side effects etc

She has many many articles and videos and workshops on her website, highly recommend. You can email her as well and she will respond.

Expand full comment

There are some decent ones out there. I do like life extension. I also like natures made as they do follow USP guidelines for quality of ingredients and nothing not listed, dosed as described. There was a website to look up the various companies making these products that actually did their own analysis of each one and would list those that are "in compliance" with what is expected. I will see if I can still find it but I think they started asking for a user fee and I quit as I had found my trusted companies. I like Xymogen, and Researched Nutritionals (both are pricey esp the latter).

I've never been stable pill popper.

They are always shocked when you tell them that you are not taking any prescriptions. We should be shocked that they are shocked. Once they get the process started, it's all downhill from there. Add another RX as often as they can. My grandmother was on over 20 daily meds and my mom was running close behind her. Once I got Medical POA, we put a stop to that nonsense. Her PCP tried to put her on more meds after she was placed on hospice and her pulmonologist never let up asking about the COVID shot. SHE WAS ON HOSPICE! My brother-in-law about jumped through the phone during the phone visit. Her cardiologist was the only one who let the vax go. My guess is he was seeing a lot of extra patients with heart problems but he couldn't say anything. He just kept saying it was up to her whether she got it or not.

Expand full comment

The last time I saw my PC provider in the summer of 2021 for a routine exam she asked when I was going to get my Covid vaccine. I told her I do not do drugs or vaccines. She said, "What if you get sick?" I said I would probably die if it was my time. She rolled her eyes at me. I have not seen her since.

I'm trying everything to bring my bp down so I can get off these dumb bp pills. It's not a caffine or salt thing as I don't eat/drink caffeinated stuff and we use low salt everything. It's more likely than not hormones and stress, both of which I can't really do too much about (especially now that hubby is jobless...thx company of 19 years for canning him with no notice...and we are a single income family with 3 kids). I've been trying some beet root juice chews, which seem to help lessen my bp headaches, but not lower the bp enough to get off the meds (which are at the lowest dosage). Probably weight is an issue as well, but having PCOS (I blame birth control since I was normal for years until right after I started those), I've yet to have much luck losing weight. Ugh, I wish there were some naturopathic doctors near me, although at this time I couldn't afford to go....but still...
