thelibertybeacon--2020-12-14--KEN’S CORNER: America Is No longer at Liberty to Discuss the Horrors of War …

KEN ’ S CORNER : America Is No longer at Liberty to Discuss the Horrors of War … At least once a week something seemingly out of my control comes over me , and I have to write something down .
It wells up inside , infiltrates and permeates my mind in the middle of the night , and the formula is tossed like a subconscious tennis game to completion .
The time is 06:30 , and the golden glow of the sun can be seen through the trees from my office window , growing by the moment on a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ look to fill this blank screen with these thoughts , a dread fills me… It sits inside as a kind of frustrated wonder , as what I want to say might just be beyond my ability .
Thoughts so profound , I just don ’ t know where to start… and I know that most likely what I say will make little difference in the broader spectrum… I saw a photograph of a war memorial where the dog-tags of every man who died in Vietnam were suspended from a ceiling on filaments .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of just a few yards away , it looked like a large block of silver , topped with vanilla icing .
Men commented on this photograph on Face Book .
All seemed to think themselves patriots in one form or another , but with far different perspectives in the viewing… Some looked at it with pride , a display that indicated the comradeship of men in arms , men who fought together as one .
Others viewed it in incomprehensible wonder… Others in awe and reverence… And others still , expressed gratitude for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ paid the ultimate price to advance our freedoms… And all , including myself , felt the utmost respect for these men , our brothers… I was , however , the only one there who expressed that this war memorial reflected the horror of war .
Horror , for the loss of our humanity , without reason .
It was the thought that war had no good reason that set them off… I saw there , over sixty thousand men , my brothers , who died for nothing that could be positively defined… and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What did these men die for ?
” no one could tell me .
Not one .
One stated that it was to fight Communism , and yet could not define that word when questioned… And yet , they all collectively reveled in a patriotism that could not be denied .
And then , one of them questioned my loyalty to America , which stimulated another to call me a traitor , and another said I was a “ Freak ’ n Liberal.
” And yet , though I asked the question again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I had to withdraw , and it has haunted me ever since to understand it… I ’ m fixing to be sixty-six in a couple of months , and I am no longer the wide-eyed and trusting boy who left his family and home for a place he had only recently found on a map .
I was 57 on the draft in 1969 .
There were men all around me who were refusing to go , and some gave up everything to go to Mexico or Canada… and at the time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but I no longer think this .
I grew up in service , and learned a lot about myself and the world .
God knows I needed some form of structure living in that virtual hell-hole called the inner city of New Orleans .
I thought it was normal to have six murders over a weekend .
I thought it was normal that the black man and white man would fight , and the destruction of property from City Park to Pontchartrain Beach was the transition for a greater good .
And I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ age to accept it…but I no longer do .
I looked at that twinkling silver cube that must have taken a stupendous effort to create , and the true horror of it gripped my heart and soul .
I saw the lives of men who would now be grandfathers , husbands , sons and brothers , just like me .
And the loss , the monumental loss , filled me with the greatest revulsion .
When I participated in war , at 19 , the questions I have today were indeed asked then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ situation was not understood .
It took fifty or more years of living to do it , and I ’ m still trying… as somewhere along the way , from learning the pain of death of a loved one , changing a diaper in the middle of the night , to working hard offshore for my family… somewhere in the middle of it all , as I grappled to find my self-worth and God in my life , I developed an empathy based on Love .
An empathy based on life experiences , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ element of immaturity sorely needed for the war machine .
You see , they don ’ t require men like me to war , because I would ask the question why .
And yes , I would die for this country , no doubt , but I will not die so that some man , or a corporation , will get rich… Before I pull the trigger on a fellow human being , I must know why .
And I don ’ t think that is too hard to ask !
I could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dull and incomprehensible feelings that welled up in me .
I grappled to understand the hate-filled glares on the faces of people at the airport , and some had even spit in our faces… I tried to understand the man who wrote obscenities on the bombs lighting up our horizon , and the people being incinerated by Monsanto ’ s Napalm .
And through it all , deep in the quick , I felt the yearning and lonely solace of my country so far away , marking the days for my return… And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ night , in a room of forty other men , I was haunted by the memories of the life I had left behind… I had hugged my girlfriend around the waste while sitting at her kitchen table that last night… my arms held her tight as my head settled on her stomach… And like the man I wanted to be , swallowed back my tears , my greatest fears , and told her I ’ d see her soon… I told her not to worry .
I laughed it off , and told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New Orleans could survive anything .
But the body bags were already coming home… the football hero , a neighbor ’ s nephew , the young boy who had worked at the meat market… I remember the seven people who told me goodbye as I boarded the plane the next morning , and saw them standing at the window from my seat… I saw my sister Cindy , and the love of my life , Maddy , and both were crying .
I could never forget this .
We have all been betrayed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ loving lives from us , painful relationships that dissolved , and yet we come away from these pangs with a new understanding and insight .
But in war… this is another matter… As I now travel to the Veteran ’ s Administration for checkups… There are many men there suffering from what is called PTSD , Post Traumatic Syndrome .
They saw things , did things , things that they never could justify , and so can not forget .
There were horrors so great it follows them throughout their lives… But to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come away from that experience with some form of justification , are more able to cope… like the men commenting on that war memorial .
They used words like justice , honor , good , and right , to keep their sanity .
You see , without words such as these , the loss would be just too much to comprehend , too much to reason .
But for me , I find my solace in my unswerving need to find truth .
My sanity , my very salvation , is this need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who have had faith , and are now but empty shells , and no matter how I try , my words bounce back unrealized… Facts I consider today that I had no clue about at nineteen… • The military industrial complex , that we hear about , grew large enough in WW2 to win the war .
It was so lucrative , so big , it refused to dissipate , and we were warned by one of our greatest hero , General Eisenhower , that it would control our country if left unchecked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ warning here .
From that time til now we have been in one war after another , and they get around this Constitutional breach by calling it a police action .
When there is a lull in the tide of war , another fear is soon promoted , a new enemy created , and threats even from factions inside of our own government are manifested , like our right to bear arms , our open borders , or government spying , and out of this fear we buy every weapon and box of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and pure genius !
Unfortunately , few see through this… • International banking cartels vie to control the world first by war , and then by reconstruction .
They care nothing about anything but profit and survival , and make money no matter who wins , as they back both sides .
• Industry once found in America are put overseas in places conquered in a variety of methods , some by war , and others economically .
These businesses are not regulated as they would be here , nor are there any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and purpose , they utilize the populous there as slave labor .

It is designed that way , and it is very lucrative… and that is the true reason for war .

KEN’S CORNER: America Is No longer at Liberty to Discuss the Horrors of War …
Commentary by TLB Contributing Writer: Ken LaRive
At least once a week something seemingly out of my control comes over me, and I have to write something down. It wells up inside, infiltrates and permeates my mind in the middle of the night, and the formula is tossed like a subconscious tennis game to completion.
The time is 06:30, and the golden glow of the sun can be seen through the trees from my office window, growing by the moment on a perfectly blue sky. And as I look to fill this blank screen with these thoughts, a dread fills me… It sits inside as a kind of frustrated wonder, as what I want to say might just be beyond my ability. Thoughts so profound, I just don’t know where to start… and I know that most likely what I say will make little difference in the broader spectrum…
The block of sliver tags…
I saw a photograph of a war memorial where the dog-tags of every man who died in Vietnam were suspended from a ceiling on filaments. From the photographer’s vantage point of just a few yards away, it looked like a large block of silver, topped with vanilla icing.
Men commented on this photograph on Face Book. All seemed to think themselves patriots in one form or another, but with far different perspectives in the viewing… Some looked at it with pride, a display that indicated the comradeship of men in arms, men who fought together as one. Others viewed it in incomprehensible wonder… Others in awe and reverence… And others still, expressed gratitude for their service, noting that they had paid the ultimate price to advance our freedoms… And all, including myself, felt the utmost respect for these men, our brothers… I was, however, the only one there who expressed that this war memorial reflected the horror of war. Horror, for the loss of our humanity, without reason. It was the thought that war had no good reason that set them off…
I saw there, over sixty thousand men, my brothers, who died for nothing that could be positively defined… and when I asked the question, “What did these men die for?” no one could tell me. Not one. One stated that it was to fight Communism, and yet could not define that word when questioned… And yet, they all collectively reveled in a patriotism that could not be denied. And then, one of them questioned my loyalty to America, which stimulated another to call me a traitor, and another said I was a “Freak’n Liberal.” And yet, though I asked the question again, could not get a definitive answer. I had to withdraw, and it has haunted me ever since to understand it…
Traitors and cowards…
I’m fixing to be sixty-six in a couple of months, and I am no longer the wide-eyed and trusting boy who left his family and home for a place he had only recently found on a map. I was 57 on the draft in 1969. There were men all around me who were refusing to go, and some gave up everything to go to Mexico or Canada… and at the time I thought they were traitors, cowards… but I no longer think this.
I grew up in service, and learned a lot about myself and the world. God knows I needed some form of structure living in that virtual hell-hole called the inner city of New Orleans. I thought it was normal to have six murders over a weekend. I thought it was normal that the black man and white man would fight, and the destruction of property from City Park to Pontchartrain Beach was the transition for a greater good. And I realize I was conditioned from a young age to accept it…but I no longer do.
I looked at that twinkling silver cube that must have taken a stupendous effort to create, and the true horror of it gripped my heart and soul. I saw the lives of men who would now be grandfathers, husbands, sons and brothers, just like me. And the loss, the monumental loss, filled me with the greatest revulsion. When I participated in war, at 19, the questions I have today were indeed asked then, but the true gravity of the situation was not understood. It took fifty or more years of living to do it, and I’m still trying… as somewhere along the way, from learning the pain of death of a loved one, changing a diaper in the middle of the night, to working hard offshore for my family… somewhere in the middle of it all, as I grappled to find my self-worth and God in my life, I developed an empathy based on Love. An empathy based on life experiences, something that is lacking at 19… an element of immaturity sorely needed for the war machine. You see, they don’t require men like me to war, because I would ask the question why. And yes, I would die for this country, no doubt, but I will not die so that some man, or a corporation, will get rich… Before I pull the trigger on a fellow human being, I must know why. And I don’t think that is too hard to ask!
I could not understand my feelings back then, dull and incomprehensible feelings that welled up in me. I grappled to understand the hate-filled glares on the faces of people at the airport, and some had even spit in our faces… I tried to understand the man who wrote obscenities on the bombs lighting up our horizon, and the people being incinerated by Monsanto’s Napalm. And through it all, deep in the quick, I felt the yearning and lonely solace of my country so far away, marking the days for my return… And as I closed my eyes in the night, in a room of forty other men, I was haunted by the memories of the life I had left behind… I had hugged my girlfriend around the waste while sitting at her kitchen table that last night… my arms held her tight as my head settled on her stomach… And like the man I wanted to be, swallowed back my tears, my greatest fears, and told her I’d see her soon… I told her not to worry. I laughed it off, and told her a guy who was raised in New Orleans could survive anything. But the body bags were already coming home… the football hero, a neighbor’s nephew, the young boy who had worked at the meat market…
I remember the seven people who told me goodbye as I boarded the plane the next morning, and saw them standing at the window from my seat… I saw my sister Cindy, and the love of my life, Maddy, and both were crying. I could never forget this.
We have all been betrayed in this life. Tragedy has stolen loving lives from us, painful relationships that dissolved, and yet we come away from these pangs with a new understanding and insight. But in war… this is another matter…
As I now travel to the Veteran’s Administration for checkups… There are many men there suffering from what is called PTSD, Post Traumatic Syndrome. They saw things, did things, things that they never could justify, and so can not forget.

Facts I consider today that I had no clue about at nineteen…
The military industrial complex, that we hear about, grew large enough in WW2 to win the war. It was so lucrative, so big, it refused to dissipate, and we were warned by one of our greatest hero, General Eisenhower, that it would control our country if left unchecked. He was right. Find his warning here. From that time til now we have been in one war after another, and they get around this Constitutional breach by calling it a police action. When there is a lull in the tide of war, another fear is soon promoted, a new enemy created, and threats even from factions inside of our own government are manifested, like our right to bear arms, our open borders, or government spying, and out of this fear we buy every weapon and box of ammunition within reach. Very profitable, and pure genius! Unfortunately, few see through this… International banking cartels vie to control the world first by war, and then by reconstruction. They care nothing about anything but profit and survival, and make money no matter who wins, as they back both sides. Industry once found in America are put overseas in places conquered in a variety of methods, some by war, and others economically. These businesses are not regulated as they would be here, nor are there any viable labor laws. For all intent and purpose, they utilize the populous there as slave labor.

From the Author, Ken La Rive – We in the Liberty movement have been fighting to take back this country for less than a decade, peacefully and with the love of God and country in our hearts. Our banner has been trampled on and displaced by a multitude of distractions, further eroding our nation and the cause for Liberty. And so, as we are pulled by forces we cannot fathom, powerful entities with unlimited resources stolen from our future, unaccountable trillions printed out of thin air and put on our backs as debt, we must formulate the most pitiful of all questions any patriot might ask in the final hour: Are we going to fight for our master’s tyranny, or are we going to demand the return of our civil liberties and Constitution? Are we going to choose The Banner of Liberty, or the shackles of voluntary servitude? Will it be a war for corporate profit, or a war to regain our ability to self govern, as the blood and toil of our forefathers presented to us, their children, as a gift? I fear that decision is emanate. I fear that any decision will be a hard one, but my greatest fear of all is that the decision has already been made for us.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)

thelibertybeacon--2020-12-14--Biden courts disaster with retreads, culture warriors, and scandal – Obama III?

Not only is Biden filling his administration with the same people who made such a hash of things from 2009 to 2017 .
He has also selected , for some of the most important offices , progressive ideologues who believe it is the bureaucracy ’ s job to pick new fights in the culture war .
And he ’ s doing it all while his family and his party face new questions about their entanglement with the People ’ s Republic of China .
You are right to feel anxious .

Biden courts disaster with retreads, culture warriors, & scandal – Obama III?
This is not a third Obama term. —Joe Biden, November 24, 2020 He has a funny way of showing it. Biden’s recent moves provide little comfort for Americans looking for a way out of the polarization, acrimony, catastrophism, and hysteria that have characterized politics lo these many years.
Washington Free Beacon:
Not only is Biden filling his administration with the same people who made such a hash of things from 2009 to 2017. He has also selected, for some of the most important offices, progressive ideologues who believe it is the bureaucracy’s job to pick new fights in the culture war. And he’s doing it all while his family and his party face new questions about their entanglement with the People’s Republic of China.
You are right to feel anxious.
Obama’s appointees were known for their elitism, imperiousness, and cocksure expertise. What does Biden do? He brings them back. John Kerry becomes a special envoy for climate—though if you assume he will restrict himself to that portfolio, there’s a bridge in Brooklyn you might like to buy.
Janet Yellen gets Treasury—and a sure-to-be awkward relationship with her replacement as head of the Federal Reserve. Alejandro Mayorkas was deputy secretary of Homeland Security when he became ensnared in a visa scandal. Biden wants to promote him.
Jeffrey Zients salvaged Healthcare.gov from its catastrophic launch. He’ll be coronavirus czar. Having lied about both Benghazi and Bowe Bergdahl while coordinating national security, Susan Rice will apply her mendacious talents to domestic policy.
Denis McDonough was Obama’s chief of staff during the Syrian “red line” debacle. He’ll be secretary for Veterans’ Affairs. A few officials—Vivek Murthy, Tom Vilsack—will be nominated for exactly the same jobs they held during the Obama years.
The cases where Biden has struck his own path are either strange or disturbing. Biden chose retired general Lloyd Austin, the former CENTCOM commander, for secretary of defense because “he played a crucial role in bringing 150,000 American troops home from the theater of war” and because he had a good relationship with Beau Biden.
The selection, which requires a congressional waiver, not only raises the fraught subject of civil-military relations. It also guarantees a replay of the debate over America’s 2011 withdrawal from Iraq and the subsequent growth of the Islamic State. And it’s already created friction between Biden and members of his own party, as well as between Biden and members of the bipartisan foreign-policy elite who backed his candidacy.
Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services was notorious for rules, such as the 2012 contraceptives mandate, that restricted religious freedom in ways calculated to benefit the Democratic Party. Our second Catholic president might try to reduce tensions between traditional believers and Washington, D.C., by appointing a nonpolitical HHS secretary with a directive to cope with the pandemic above all else.
Instead, Biden picked Xavier Becerra, the far-left attorney general of California, who when not filing lawsuits against President Trump has targeted religious and pro-life organizations. The Becerra nomination is a rebuke to social conservatives. It puts the lie to Biden’s call for unity. Obama must love it.

thelibertybeacon--2020-12-14--Forcing Citizens to Take COVID Vaccine ‘Entirely Unlawful’ says Prof. Dolores Cahill

Head of the World Doctors Alliance and vice president of the newly formed World Freedom Alliance , Cahill also said the state has no right to coerce citizens to be take a COVID-19 vaccine .
“ People of the world have natural rights to natural law , and freedom to think , of speech , freedom of assembly , freedom to practice religion , but most importantly , bodily integrity , ” Cahill said at the Truth Over Fear Summit organized by Catholic broadcaster Patrick Coffin .
“ So it is entirely unlawful for anyone to do that.
” American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have the power to take your shirt sleeves up and jab you , ” and that “ forced vaccines are coming , ” Coffin pointed out to Cahill in a virtual Q & A .
“ That ’ s a misinterpretation of the law , ” rejoined Cahill , who was asked in June to resign from the European Union ’ s Scientific Committee of the Innovative Medicines Initiative over her views on the coronavirus crisis .
“ So , we have inalienable natural rights of bodily integrity , and just because lawyers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it true.
” The World Freedom Alliance , which announced its formation in early November and which represents some 35 countries , has “ a lot of police supporting us now , ” she added .
In the United Kingdom , the “ government can now have people come into your home and take away your children forcibly , ” and in the state of Victoria , Australia , the law allows state agents to “ come and forcibly vaccinate you , ” Cahill said .
She is working with a number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And we are encouraging the military and retired police to contact us , ” she added .
“ We are working with former military and police to form local neighborhood defenses of the home , that you could have , you know , 12 or 20 families that you could text in an emergency where the police are unlawfully invading your home , ” Cahill said .
“ So , I think it ’ s not about the virus anymore .
It ’ s about an infringement of our rights and privacy , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what we ’ ve seen insidiously is in the last 20 years , they have brought in so-called laws about infectious diseases ” that are being used by governments “ to curtail their fundamental freedom .
And in a way , we have to thank COVID-19 because it ’ s a wake-up call for all of us to say these laws have gone too far , ” Cahill observed .
“ We will develop courses to educate people that what the police and the state are doing is unlawful , we will have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to account because they are engaged in unlawful and criminal behavior , ” she told Coffin .
“ And if we can take a number of them to court , we will choose worldwide the best jurisdictions with those strongest laws that we will then initiate class actions that people can sue if the same thing has happened to them.
” Since Cahill made her remarks , six countries have approved a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine produced by American pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech : the United Kingdom , Canada , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the United States , where the FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization for the vaccine on December 11 .
No coronavirus vaccine made because of “ adverse events ” Cahill outlined the potential for adverse effects of a vaccine for COVID-19 , which is an RNA virus , that is , it has RNA ( ribonucleic acid ) as its genetic material .
Cahill , who has been researching “ the immune response in auto-immune diseases and cancer and also looking at the antibody repertoire , ” explained the phenomenon of “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ patients “ get one treatment of an immunotherapy , and then the immune system reacts negatively , and the patients can have significant adverse events , ” she said .
This phenomenon is known to affect cancer patients and those with auto-immune diseases , which are “ very common ” and “ affect one in six people in the population , she said .
“ And often these immune-related adverse events can actually present very similar to an auto-immune disease , ” with “ quite vague symptoms ” such as “ issues like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ However , with vaccines , “ the adverse events are known as viral interference , ” and the viral interference “ that we see associated with vaccines that contain RNA viruses ” can include sepsis .
Greg Wolff published a “ very rigorous study ” in May 2020 on the effect of the influenza vaccine on American military personnel , which found that “ vaccine-derived viral interference was significantly associated with coronavirus , and this was because coronaviruses were in the influenza vaccine , ” she said .
The “ adverse event rate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ military personnel used in the study , ” or “ one in three , ” Cahill said .
“ This phenomenon of viral interference was known with the previous vaccines for the SARS coronavirus , and because of this viral interference ” and the “ significant ” adverse events , “ no vaccines have ever been licensed for coronaviruses , ” she added .
“ And this is because there was significant concern for this immuno-pathogenic reaction that ’ s happened in the animal models .
When they were initially vaccinated , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a circulating coronavirus , or if the animals in the animal study were challenged with an additional coronavirus , then there were significant safety issues , ” she said .
Cahill also pointed to a 2012 research article ( Immunization with SARS-coronavirus vaccine leads to pulmonary immunopathology on challenge with the SARS virus ) that confirmed a coronavirus vaccine can increase virulence .
The article referred to a 1969 study to develop a vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus ( RSV ) that used 35 human infants : 80 percent were hospitalized and two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ following their vaccination in what is called “ a challenge.
” Some of the COVID-19 vaccines “ may actually contain coronaviruses , ” and this could lead to “ adverse events , which include sepsis-like symptoms , ” Cahill said .
The 2012 study was also referenced by Robert F. Kennedy , Jr. , an environmental attorney and founder of Children ’ s Health Defense , and James Lyons-Weiler in a recent article that referred to the phenomenon Cahill described as “ pathogenic priming , ” which enhances the virulence of the disease @ @ @ @ @ @ @ particular to vaccines developed for coronaviruses like SARS-COV-1 and MERS and triggers a “ hyper-immune response ” when vaccinated subjects are exposed to the virus , which could include inflammation throughout the body and especially in the lungs .
A December 2020 FDA briefing document on the Pfizer vaccine noted “ disturbing indications that might be a safety signal on pathogenic priming , especially in older adults , ” including a 10-fold increase of serious adverse events on the second dose in the latter , compared to 3.6-fold for those under 55 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine uses messenger RNA technology and must be stored at -60 to -80 degrees Celsius .
It is shipped in special containers packed in dry ice .
A similar vaccine developed by Moderna is also under review by the FDA and could soon be cleared for emergency use , The New York Times reported .
In the United States , the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program was created in 1986 and protects pharmaceutical companies from lawsuits related to vaccine injuries or deaths .
At the same time , Pfizer , along with GlaxoSmithKline @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are “ convicted serial felon ( s ) ” with a record of incurring criminal penalties for their products , Kennedy said in a July debate .

American lawyer Alan Dershowitz “says the police have the power to take your shirt sleeves up and jab you,” and that “forced vaccines are coming,” Coffin pointed out to Cahill in a virtual Q&A.

“And if we can take a number of them to court, we will choose worldwide the best jurisdictions with those strongest laws that we will then initiate class actions that people can sue if the same thing has happened to them.”
Since Cahill made her remarks, six countries have approved a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine produced by American pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech: the United Kingdom, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Mexico, and the United States, where the FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization for the vaccine on December 11.
No coronavirus vaccine made because of “adverse events”
Cahill outlined the potential for adverse effects of a vaccine for COVID-19, which is an RNA virus, that is, it has RNA (ribonucleic acid) as its genetic material.
(Diseases caused by RNA viruses include the common cold, influenza, SARS, MERS, COVID-19, Dengue Virus, hepatitis C, hepatitis E, West Nile fever, Ebola virus disease, rabies, polio and measles.)
Cahill, who has been researching “the immune response in auto-immune diseases and cancer and also looking at the antibody repertoire,” explained the phenomenon of “immune-related adverse events.”
This occurs when patients “get one treatment of an immunotherapy, and then the immune system reacts negatively, and the patients can have significant adverse events,” she said.
This phenomenon is known to affect cancer patients and those with auto-immune diseases, which are “very common” and “affect one in six people in the population, she said.
“And often these immune-related adverse events can actually present very similar to an auto-immune disease,” with “quite vague symptoms” such as “issues like chronic fatigue,” she said.
However, with vaccines, “the adverse events are known as viral interference,” and the viral interference “that we see associated with vaccines that contain RNA viruses” can include sepsis.
Greg Wolff published a “very rigorous study” in May 2020 on the effect of the influenza vaccine on American military personnel, which found that “vaccine-derived viral interference was significantly associated with coronavirus, and this was because coronaviruses were in the influenza vaccine,” she said.
The “adverse event rate was around 36 percent of the American military personnel used in the study,” or “one in three,” Cahill said.
“This phenomenon of viral interference was known with the previous vaccines for the SARS coronavirus, and because of this viral interference” and the “significant” adverse events, “no vaccines have ever been licensed for coronaviruses,” she added.
“And this is because there was significant concern for this immuno-pathogenic reaction that’s happened in the animal models. When they were initially vaccinated, they were fine, but when there was a circulating coronavirus, or if the animals in the animal study were challenged with an additional coronavirus, then there were significant safety issues,” she said.
Cahill also pointed to a 2012 research article (Immunization with SARS-coronavirus vaccine leads to pulmonary immunopathology on challenge with the SARS virus) that confirmed a coronavirus vaccine can increase virulence.

Some of the COVID-19 vaccines “may actually contain coronaviruses,” and this could lead to “adverse events, which include sepsis-like symptoms,” Cahill said.
Other warnings on “pathogenic priming”
The 2012 study was also referenced by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., an environmental attorney and founder of Children’s Health Defense, and James Lyons-Weiler in a recent article that referred to the phenomenon Cahill described as “pathogenic priming,” which enhances the virulence of the disease.
They reiterated that the phenomenon is particular to vaccines developed for coronaviruses like SARS-COV-1 and MERS and triggers a “hyper-immune response” when vaccinated subjects are exposed to the virus, which could include inflammation throughout the body and especially in the lungs.

George Soros is gunning for Angela Merkel after the German chancellor “caved to Hungarian and Polish extortion.” The two populist EU nations had been holding up a 1.8 trillion Euro ($2.2 trillion) budget and pandemic recovery fund over EU plans to link cash payouts ‘to a country’s respect for core European values.’
Budapest and Warsaw blocked the approval of a budget last month, accusing Brussels of “political blackmail” over the policy which would require that they adhere to the ‘rule of law and democratic norms’ – which include ‘equal opportunities, combating discrimination, and the cohesion of society’ across Europe.
Merkel, in response, struck a compromise – temporarily suspending the EU’s mechanism to ‘guarantee the rule of law’ while Brussels goes back to the drawing board, while Poland and Hungary celebrate.
“We have a budget, together with the reconstruction fund, which means big funds for investment, big funds for supporting the development of Poland’s economy, for new technologies, for many goals that need to be implemented, especially now that we want to quickly come out of the pandemic. That’s important to us,” said Poland’s Prime Minister, Mateusz Morawiecki.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was similarly elated, saying “And we could say modestly, of course, that we saved the unity of the union. So don’t forget that this dispute was not only about the rule of law, regulation, financial issues, it was about the future of European Union and the question of what the power centre is of the European Union, the European institutions like Parliament, Commission or the member states?”

And while European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said the compromise “underlined indeed Europe’s ability to come together and act” during the “worst crisis” the bloc has faced, Soros is pissed .
In a Thursday Op-Ed in Project Syndicate, Soros said Merkel’s compromise “constitutes the worst of all possible worlds,” and treats Hungary and Poland’s challenge to EU values as a “legitimate political stance deserving of recognition” which will “only add – massively to the risks that the EU now faces.”
Soros outlines three “fundamental flaws” in the deal. First, the compromise weakens the rule-of-law conditionality, altering “in substance and intent” the original agreement. Second, it defers the implementation of rule-of-law conditions until 2022, which would “be a true coup for Orbán, as it would delay any possible action until after the next scheduled Hungarian parliamentary elections.” Third, Soros says the European Council is “acting beyond its authority” by constraining the European Commissions’ ability to interpret and act on agreed EU legislation, according to a statement by Soros right-hand man Michael Vachon.
The Hungarian billionaire concedes that while the deal is “ugly and flouts the express wish of the European Parliament,” that the European Parliament “may well approve it” due to the urgent need for COVID-19 relief funding.
Mr. Soros recognizes the “enormous pressures under which Chancellor Merkel has been laboring” and that “she does not want another country, Hungary, to announce its intention to the leave the EU on her watch”. However, the primary victims of the deal that Merkel has reportedly struck with Orbán will be the people of Hungary, Mr Soros argues. The reprieve gives Fidesz “more than a year” to change Hungarian laws and the constitution, and to continue to redefine “public funds” in Hungary in ways that enable him to “channel ill-gotten loot from public bodies into private foundations controlled by his cronies”. Orbán was reportedly considering leaving the EU, writes Mr. Soros, because he “cannot afford to have the sheer scale of his regime’s corruption exposed”, which the EU’s “rule of law” conditionality on the disbursement of Union funds “would invariably have done”. According to Mr. Soros: “Orbán has stolen and misappropriated vast sums during his decade in power, including EU funds that should have gone to benefit the Hungarian people. He cannot afford to have a practical limit imposed on his personal and political corruption, because the illicit proceeds of are the grease that keeps the wheels of his regime running smoothly and his cronies in line”. -Michael Vachon
Meanwhile, EU law expert Alberty Alemanno tells Euronews that Merkel’s compromise “killed a mechanism that is supposed to guarantee the rule of law” by turning it into an “instrument of last resort.”
The 1.8 trillion package includes the EU’s seven-year budget, worth just under 1.1 trillion Euros, as well as a 750 billion Euro COVID-19 recovery fund (aka Next Generation EU).

COVID19 spreads to soft drinks, shock!

The terrifying media-borne virus known as CON19 , which has struck down millions of people the world over with terrifyingly undetectable symptoms frighteningly similar to being not at all ill , has now spread to soft drinks !
This is according to a report from the Austrian parliament , which like our own is clinging to life support and helpful transfusions of instructions from global oligarchs and other benevolent psychopaths .
The shocking news left the world reeling in .
.
.
er , shock after an Austrian politician revealed how a can of coke tested positive for CON19 using @ @ @ @ @ @ @ known to be accurate to almost one percent or less !
( see this video ) .

The terrifying media-borne virus known as CON19, which has struck down millions of people the world over with terrifyingly undetectable symptoms frighteningly similar to being not at all ill, has now spread to soft drinks!
This is according to a report from the Austrian parliament, which like our own is clinging to life support and helpful transfusions of instructions from global oligarchs and other benevolent psychopaths.
The shocking news left the world reeling in . . . er, shock after an Austrian politician revealed how a can of coke tested positive for CON19 using the famous PCR test which is now known to be accurate to almost one percent or less! (see this video ).
When told about this latest setback in the so-called War Against a Bit of a Cough that has seen millions of people annoyed for their own good by their government, the Health Secretary, Matt Crocodile, broke down and wept openly with incredible sincerity on TV! (see video here)
In so doing, he helpfully brought about a nausea epidemic that took everyone’s mind off of the destruction of their country by an average illness.
Crocodile, who suffers from a congenital disability that makes his weeping look like an effort not to laugh, then announced tough measures to halt the spread of the killer epidemic to Pepsi Cola and even highly vulnerable beverages such as orange juice.
He explained that the new outbreak has left the government with no choice but to urgently install a dictatorship and tell everyone to go to their room and not come out until teatime or the introduction of a population-culling vaccine, whichever is the later.
Crocodile explained how the vaccine, which can be injected into any soft drink even without the victim’s knowledge, will help save the NHS, eventually.
He further explained it will accomplish this difficult but popular task by reducing the population of the UK to roughly that of Leamington Spa and thus slashing the numbers of sick and old people who are, let’s face it, a completely useless burden on the state.
These measures will be accompanied by compulsory voluntary guidelines contained in a new White Paper entitled, “Defying Common Sense” requesting owners of cans of Coca Cola to voluntarily self isolate in accordance with their democratic right to avoid punishment. There will also be stiff fines of £20,000 for anyone caught within two metres of a soft drink.
Pubs will be ordered to only sell alcohol even when actually open (Tuesday afternoon).
The tough new measures, designed to nip this latest horror in the bud before anyone has time to think, will be introduced at the strategically opportune moment (such as just when people start getting cocky).
Secret scientists (Sid Bonkers and Professor Patrick O’Charlatan) at secret meetings classified Top Secret by the Official Secrets Act have now established a strong link between Coca Cola and Covid-related deaths.
A Covid-related death is scientifically defined as any death where the word “COVID” was mentioned within fifty yards of the deceased before or after their death or, failing that, where the deceased has a cough at any time during their life.
Of a thousand recent deaths studied it was found that 812 had been in contact with a PCR test – the world’s foremost source of fake infection -within six months prior to their demise.
Of those 812 Covid cases, 803 were known, according to the Covid-related testimony of surviving relatives, to have drunk Coca Cola at some time or another.
Ministers are considering a complete ban on everything but gin or real Coke, which are both known to be immune.

LIVE STATE(S) COVERAGE BELOW ~(TLB) ed.
Joe Biden will address the nation at 7:30 p.m. ET following today’s Electoral College voting, in which he captured electors in all six battleground states in which President Trump and his supporters contested the November election.
As Bloomberg notes, “The 16 electors in Michigan voted for Biden, following the 63 votes cast for him earlier in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Biden will have enough electoral votes to be officially declared president-elect when members have cast 270 ballots, which is expected after California votes. Congress will officially count the votes on Jan. 6.”
The votes come as Trump and his allies continue to contest the results, which Trump attorneys and supporters have suggested are fair game until January 6th.
On Monday, Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer tweeted that Republican electors in the state also met at the state capitol to cast votes for Trump and Vice President Mike Pence because a Trump campaign lawsuit contesting the state’s results is still pending. Former U.S. Representative Lou Barletta of Pennsylvania said the Trump electors in the commonwealth also held “conditional” votes in case a court were to overturn the results. The idea is to send a rival slate of electors for Congress to consider. But there’s only one certified slate of electors that Congress can recognize from a state, and their move is “not going to work as a matter of law,” said Edward Foley, a professor and director of an election-law program at Ohio State University who has studied disputed elections. –Bloomberg
Biden received 306 electoral votes from the 25 states and the District of Columbia, while Trump captured 232 electoral votes from the 25 states he won.
