Hey Jeff, great lineup today, but please try to cover the story of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska was butchered on a Charlotte light rail almost a month ago and the Charlotte Mayor/City Council tried like hell to suppress the story.

Here's how much coverage we've seen so far out of the usual suspects. Oh.....and if Elon Musk hadn't bought X none of us would know about this story at all.

0 CBS stories on this deadly attack

0 ABC stories on this deadly attack

0 NBC stories on this deadly attack

0 AP stories on this deadly attack

0 PBS stories on this deadly attack

0 NYT stories on this deadly attack

0 NPR stories on this deadly attack

0 WSJ stories on this deadly attack

0 BBC stories on this deadly attack

0 CNN stories on this deadly attack

0 WAPO stories on this deadly attack

0 Reuters stories on this deadly attack

0 MSNBC stories on this deadly attack

This is a obviously totally un-winnable story for main stream media.

- Completely savage unprovoked murder with zero room for debate, all on video.

- Perp w/ a zillion prior convictions let off by progressive DA's and judges who don't believe in prison or curbing crime

- Attractive white girl slaughtered b/c she didn't know the secret unspoken rules about situational awareness in the inner city

- Victim literally a Ukranian refugee who managed to escape a war only to be butchered using basic American public transit in a democrat controlled city

- Incident much more representative of what crime in US looks like than any recent leftwing 'white supremacy' outrage that is constantly being spread.....in other words far from a 'fluke'

Every left-wing propagandist who touches this story knows they will be cast out of the cool kids club by their peers.

Meanwhile in my state we have Charlotte Councilwoman Tiawana Brown file for reelection this summer on the heels of being indicted on federal charges for stealing $125,000 in COVID funds along with her 2 daughters.

Can you feel the fatigue? https://x.com/Evans_Wroten/status/1964656699718987956

Yes. Many former mainstream media folks have openly expressed these statements. In particular they have publicly come out and expressed morning talking points administered to their respective networks. We saw this during Covid with news outlets repeating word for word the exact same phrases across a host of different tv stations, newspapers and radio. Watching that woke a lot of people up to the programs we’ve all been exposed too.

How many Black American men died in 2020 yet we can all name only ONE...the guy who was forced to die of his drug overdose after passing a "bad check" (who even takes checks other than a bank?) while his former co-bar bouncer cop buddy knelt on his neck for several minutes while the video rolled for everyone, and the rookie cops on scene were left hanging with no Minneapolis EMTs rushing to assist.

Yes, i think media (as usual) reported it wrong initially then the $20 fake bill corrected things, i was going to edit but i figured speculation and assertion are as good as facts for substack commentary as it is for "news journalism reporting". I saw that viral video and immediately thought "those guys knew each other" then maybe a month later media reported Floyd and Chauvin had previously worked at the same nightclub at same time but unsure of nature or if they even knew each other. At this point i would be remiss to NOT think that Maybe they were in a now-scrubbed Blackrock video too?

"A day after senators of both parties rebuked his health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for restricting access to Covid vaccines at a congressional hearing, President Donald Trump praised them, along with some other shots, during an Oval Office event.

“A lot of people think that Covid is amazing,” Trump said, referencing the vaccine, not the disease. “You know, there are many people that believe strongly in that.” Trump also said he thought the polio shot was amazing and that “you have to be very careful when you say that some people don’t have to be vaccinated.” Trump said: “You have vaccines that work. They just pure and simple work. They’re not controversial at all. And I think those vaccines should be used. Otherwise some people are going to catch it and they endanger other people.”

Israel had a very high uptake of the mRNA death jabs, so either they're trying to kill their own people or they were just stupid about it.

I expect the Oct 7th attack was allowed to happen to distract everyone from other issues (like the death of 8 year old Israeli toxxine poster boy Yonatan Erlichman from a heart attack) and to provide justification for stomping on Gaza.

Regarding the Venezuelan boat attack by Navy (on orders by Trump) and its elimination and killing of 11:

Per CounterPunch:

"There is no legal justification for Trump’s military strike on an alleged “drug boat” off the coast of Venezuela. The boat, a simple speedboat, posed no threat to the US Navy vessels.

The little boat could have easily been interdicted, searched for drugs and its occupants detained if any were found. No proof was offered that it was carrying drugs or was associated with the Tren de Aragua “narco-terrorist organization.”

In any event, drug trafficking is not a capital offense, even when it’s been proven. Most countries would consider this an act of terrorism and mass murder under international law.

Indeed, such a strike is also prohibited under US law.

+ The Trump Administration didn’t know where the boat was going or why 11 people would be taking up space on a small, open-air craft that was supposed to be packed with illicit drugs. Were they fisherman? Immigrants? Who could believe them? Rubio’s State Department has repeatedly lied about Venezuela and accused immigrants from the country of being Tren de Aragua gang members based solely on tattoos or the fact they’re wearing Air Jordans...

1200 miles from the Coast of Miami.

Name a speed boat that can travel 1200 miles on a single tank of fuel?

A real threat to the USA by an unnamed drug cartel?

+ Venezuela is not a major producer or exporter of illicit drugs. (But it does have the largest oil reserves on the planet.)

+ Nearly all fentanyl comes into the US from China, Mexico or Canada.

+ Meanwhile, the leading producers of cocaine are:

Colombia: 65%

Peru: 27%

Bolivia: 8%

+ As for heroin, it’s Myanmar, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Colombia and Mexico.

+ Rubio: “Frankly, it’s a war. It’s a war on killers, it’s a war on terrorists.”

Ask Congress to declare one, then…

Food for thought.

https://patrick.net/post/1381234/2024-04-26-the-hebrew-idea-of-holiness-is

Antisemitism is real, but it is part of a feedback loop in which Judaism creates antisemitism to justify itself and maintain Jewish unity.

In every generation, the Jews who like and get along with their non-Jewish neighbors assimilate, leaving only the Jews who manage to maintain a state of alienation.

She has thanked me for helping to open her eyes regarding vaccines etc. She said that in the military they tell you to do something and most just line up and take that experimental vaccine or whatever it is. She said sometimes they didn’t even know what it was. Anyway she was following along although in the civilian world, got her first COVID vaccine and one booster. I was trying to get through to her all during that time, and finally she started coming across vaccine injured patients and that, coupled with my urging, scared her enough to stop the madness.

For anything chronic or more detailed labs to really get at the root causes, or to optimize your health, a functional, or integrative, or holistic practitioner is your best bet.

For me personally, it seems like we’re wasting an awful lot of time on this vaccine talk and such. It’s always been extremely simple: Risk vs Reward....aka, a brief summation of life.... yoked to good decisions vs bad decisions. Make all the vaccines you want. Make all the magic pills, potions and elixirs that you want. Just don't force me to take said vaccines, magic pills, potions and elixirs while staring down the barrel of a gun. It's nothing personal, I just tend to make really bad knee-jerk decisions under duress. My “no” means no, and that should suffice. I shouldn’t have to rely on a tenuous exemption - religious, philosophical, theoretical, astronomical or otherwise as a means of escape. If, after witnessing the sheer contrasting shady pageantry of a pharmaceutical commercial, complete with conga line dancers coupled with warnings of loss of sight, psoriasis of the brain noodle, and excessive lip doodling, you still want to proceed with the enchanted treatment du jour, have at it. Your silver bullet awaits. If we’re going to harp on freedom of choice, where do we draw that line? (Please, no abortion talk). Coke is readily available and, by all accounts, wreaks havoc on the body, but there it is… shining in all its crimson red glory beckoning me to snatch it off the shelf. Alcohol, cigarettes, vaping, processed cheese, Circus Peanuts, CNN….should I go on? Owning up to personal responsibility isn’t for the apathetic, faint of heart or cognitively impaired. 

When it comes to drugs and assorted other purported panaceas, the onus is clearly falls on the dirty rotten SOB’s at the pharmaceutical cartels to inform the doctors of every single possible side effect (direct effects) known and they, in turn, must, must, must (while staring down the barrel of a gun - how do you like it, chumps?!) make that information available to the patient... .the good, the bad and the ugly…THE TRUTH. (Hint: The reason they don’t is because 98% of it is garbage. As per usual…it’s always about the money with these jokers. Kick-backs from pharma to doctors is a massive problem. The CDC, WHO, FDA?? I hardly think it's necessary to expound on these corrupt yahoos. None of these agencies are responsible for my health... I am.That’s just my wobbly, short-sighted opinion. Now, if we’re talking about the validity of vaccine shedding, well, that opens up an entirely different discussion.

Relevant note that my 18 YO son's good faith religious belief exception was denied by a major University of California campus on Friday with a form letter. This after the UC system signed a settlement last year with ICAN (Del Bigtree and Aaron Siri's org) agreeing to allow religious belief exceptions.

Jeff C's avatar

Thanks Annie, you are a sweetheart.

We live in California and get in-state tuition, so it's quite affordable and a good value compared to other options. Plus, my son's field is Engineering and the UC school in question is a top-tier university. Not quite Cal Tech level, but close. Having a STEM degree from this school will open many doors if he does well.

But more important, my son's head is on straight and he will be in an Engineering environment, not some nutty humanities field. He's a good kid and a sincere Christian, plus he'll be close enough that he'll be coming home each weekend. I suspect much of the nonsense will be met with eye-rolling, but I will be on guard though.

This denial came from the Student Health Center which doesn't surprise me. They've all been brainwashed to see vaccines as miracles, just like all doctors. But this isn't a medical question but a legal question, specifically my son's protection against religious discriminations under the First Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

We'll see what happens as this goes up the chain and lawyers are involved rather than doctors.

my third and youngest son was our only family member to take the first round of the C19 jab. It was due to a college mandate. After that we were able to get a religious exemption for future shots.

I said AGAIN, Sir, that would tell you my status. I'm not going to officially tell you I'm not vaccinated, although I understand that's your assumption. Then he asked me to put in a religious exemption. Geez Louise. I changed my answer and had some fun. I told him that the Army was in no position to tell anyone whether their religious beliefs were sincere and adequate for that purpose or any other. Mike drop!

Speaking of vaccine shedding. Did you see that it's possible when one walks past a vaccinated person and they smell funny, it's because at that moment they are shedding. I almost fell off my chair when I read that. I believe it was in one of Peter McCullough's studies. But as an unvaccinated person I have definitely noted that some people really smell odd when they walk past me. And I'm not talking about sweating or working out or hot weather smells. It's a definite metallic weird odor. I wondered about it and when I read the article it suddenly all made sense.

On that note way back in college I remember reading a science article that said if the person you are dating smells funny to you, do not have children with them it's nature's Way of warning you from someone who is genetically incompatible with you no matter how much you like them. Interestingly enough my sister made those comments frequently about her husband and when they had a baby it had about six genetic anomalies that rendered him disabled and took his life at age 17. It makes sense to me. I could be wrong.

ViaVeritas Vita… yes, shedding is a hot topic and serious concern, as is we the unvaccinated population in need of blood transfusions due to accident or surgery… it’s not rocket science to recognize the complications and challenges to make sure we or a loved one does NOT receive contaminated self replicating spike protein, graphene mRNA poison blood. There is a source for “clean blood” www.safeblood.net, but in an emergency, unconscious in an ER, who’s going to advocate for us while orders are being fast tracked by the ER team? Where the blood is sourced can undoubtedly be missed! Hubs and I discuss this often… “do not let them jab or transfuse no matter what” but as a nurse, when the EMT’s bring an accident victim into the ER the spouse and/or family are minutes behind in another vehicle not always available or able to stop

a blood treatment before a spouse or family member can intervene. Think about this… what a brilliant bioweapon… eventually via shedding and worse a direct infusion of contaminated blood, all of us are in danger… eventually. 🤷🏼‍♀️

July ‘24, had to have surgery for a messily fractured wrist.

About smells and dating chemistry: I went to college in the '00s, and women were already discussing on the down low the effects that birth control had on a woman's ability to pick a mate, and hormones disrupting your innate sense of smell was one of the factors. We've known for decades about this, but we were shut down if we tried to talk about it openly.

I would think there are some people who are more sensitive to smells than others. I've always been aware of people who smell funny but are clean. And this thing with the shedding it just makes so much sense. But I do believe that people who had severe covid may have lost their sense of smell, so may not notice it. But man do I know it when somebody has been vaccinated. I can just tell I don't even have to look at them I can smell it as they walk past me. It would be interesting to see further study on this.

And they want our cholesterol readings to be low. Interestingly enough higher cholesterol readings increase libido. I wouldn't put it past Gates and all those other cretins to have figured out they can lower our sex drive and thereby lower the population.

Think about it. One of the old jokes is about eating oysters makes you horny. Why do you suppose that is? Because it raises your cholesterol. It spikes it and that would also spike your libido.

(Source: at one point I had a doctor who made me lower my cholesterol and blood pressure and all of that with diet.

I KNOW people who develop these side effects after years on statins and doctors have no idea what is causing it. And then the person dies.

My dad, then 85, fell on July 6 and hit his head. He took the two initial jabs, but - and I am not making this up - reading this substack (Jeff) finally convinced him that things were not as they seemed and he did not take any "boosters". Before his death, he agreed with me that jabs had killed several friends. He had a subdermal hematoma after the fall and was not a candidate for any procedures. Whether the jabs played a roll in his demise, I will never know. He died August 20 at 86.

The funeral was two days ago and I am a mess. It's not enough that he died, but now there is a financial, legal and material possessions mess that I likely will be dealing with until winter. Life insurance has not paid (they will) so I am running up my card. It's ok. This too shall pass, but it is very stressful. I already have a sibling wanting money. I explained I had drained my checking account and would be paying interest - something I have never done in my life - and that he is going to have to wait. People dying makes a mess when someone wants money. I had to fly him out here along with my nephew for the funeral. Neither one could afford it. My nephew has a very good excuse as he is just starting out in life and I did not mind doing it, but.... I should stop talking right now.

Not one of my friends or coworkers bothered to come to the funeral or calling hours. I have done that for them. I left there hurt and baffled. I really wanted support. I just wanted someone to pretend to care. I have to go into work today and I am seriously thinking of calling off, something else I never do. I am so incredibly tired and still very busy as I have to clear out his apartment. My house looks like a bomb went off. I still have an electrical problem, so I threw the breaker, but have not had a second of time to fix anything. This means the outside lights are still off. In six months that will probably be funny because of the timing but right now I am so tired to appreciate any humor.

Sorry to hijack. Of course the jabs are killing people, especially old people. I am 100% sure that is and was the goal. I will not live long enough to see justice, but there really is no justice after murder since nothing brings a person back.

I am so sorry that others around you are not supporting you as you have supported them. Do not grow weary of doing good, as ultimately what we do for others is out of a calling on us to do the right thing, and by continuing to do right you are heaping ashes of shame on their heads and leading by example. I do the things I do because I feel called to do them. Others do not live and love by my own standards and I refuse to lower myself to their level.

That said, absolutely call in to work and take care of yourself and your home and all of these new issues. You should have some bereavement days available to use for exactly those issues. If those are used up, then use some mental health call in days. I have had to call in to work to help my mom, my in-laws, my kids, and my husband. If push came to shove, I could file FMLA paperwork and be able to call in with no disciplinary action effects on the side of my employer; however, I rarely call in for myself, so that has never been an issue. It is, however, something I will consider using if I need to do so.

But what is the cause of death from these falls? Age of the person falling - did they lump all of them into the 'over 65' category? Did they look at ALL the drugs they are taking? (article is paywalled, can't read it)

My mom has had periodic falls since 2011 (age 73) and frequency has increased a little - got the first 2 jabs in 2021 and had one fall in 2022, one in 2023, and 2 in 2024, one this year so far. But her worst fall that landed her in rehab was in 2017 due to her severe bruising and overall weakness, that docs determined sending her home was too risky.

But has never had a broken bone or any serious injury thank goodness. although that is always a running fear in the back of my head. She will get PT after a fall, working on her balance and strength issues but once PT ends she reverts back to her sedentary ways and does not do the exercises, gets weaker, and then has another fall. I have a hard time drawing the line between the shots and the falls. With each successive round of recovery and PT her progress and improvement is less, but so is her age - she will be 87 next month. So it stands to reason that a fall at 73 is not the same as a fall at 86. She takes few RX meds but if you watch all the pharma commercials/read the ads, etc the side effect of dizziness or weakness is not uncommon. I would tend to blame the panoply of RX 'solutions' that so many seniors get loaded up with vs the jabs in isolation.

Without seeing all the stats to which Jeff & the article refer, hard to be sure. But most developed, western countries and Oz & NewZealand dished out vaxes at about the same rate as the U.S. Yet the others apparently do not have increased rate of falls and deaths.

Isn't it possible that there is a combination effect: vaxes + the higher rate of U.S. reliance on all sorts of drugs, including opiates and others? In other words, in a country that is not already relying on all sorts of prescriptions for older people, adding a vax does not increase fall and fatality rates. But adding vaxes on top of high drug dependence, as the U.S. has done, might increase incidence of both. The combined burden is too much.

This would account for the increased rate of fatal falls corresponding in time with introduction of covid vaxes, but only affecting the U.S.
