“Apres moi, la deluge,” predicted Louis XV after his army’s stunning defeat by Prussia’s Frederick the Great at the Battle of Rossbach in 1757.
“La deluge,” the Revolution, came, three decades later, to wash the Bourbon monarchy away in blood and to send Louis XV’s grandson, Louis XVI, and his queen, Marie Antoinette, to the guillotine.
Donald Trump is issuing similar warnings for the republic if Joe Biden wins the presidency and Democrats capture the Senate. And the stakes, given the magnitude of the chasm that divides us, are indeed high.

Early turnout is already at record numbers. According to most polls, Biden is ahead in almost all of the major battleground states — Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Arizona. To win, Trump must carry six or seven of those states.
In national polls, Trump is further behind, in some by double-digits, reflecting the mammoth Democratic majorities in populous and deep-blue California, New York and Illinois.
Still, this thing is not over.
For, at this stage of the 2016 campaign, Hillary Clinton was showing equally impressive poll numbers, and she would go on to lose all eight of those battleground states in the greatest upset since Harry Truman defeated Tom Dewey in 1948.
Can Trump repeat the miracle of 2016?
Perhaps. When it comes to energy, excitement, enthusiasm and a capacity to bring out crowds of loyalists, even in this the worst of pandemics, Trump is unrivaled.
When Trump calls, his followers come. Not in living memory has there been a president who could bring out such vast crowds with such consistency as Donald J. Trump.

Grant amnesty to all 11 million to 22 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. Abolish ICE. Open America’s borders to new and higher waves of immigration to make America the most racially, ethnically, socially and culturally diverse society in the history of man.

The Covidian Cult

One of the hallmarks of totalitarianism is mass conformity to a psychotic official narrative .
Not a regular official narrative , like the “ Cold War ” or the “ War on Terror ” narratives .
A totally delusional official narrative that has little or no connection to reality and that is contradicted by a preponderance of facts .
Nazism and Stalinism are the classic examples , but the phenomenon is better observed in cults and other sub-cultural societal groups .
Numerous examples will spring to mind : the Manson family , Jim Jones ’ People ’ s Temple , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , etc.
, each with its own psychotic official narrative : Helter Skelter , Christian Communism , Xenu and the Galactic Confederacy , and so on .
Looking in from the dominant culture ( or back through time in the case of the Nazis ) , the delusional nature of these official narratives is glaringly obvious to most rational people .
What many people fail to understand is that to those who fall prey to them ( whether individual cult members or entire totalitarian societies ) such narratives do not register as psychotic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ entirely normal .
Everything in their social “ reality ” reifies and reaffirms the narrative , and anything that challenges or contradicts it is perceived as an existential threat .
The War on Populism : C ... Hopkins , C. J .

It makes little difference whether this antagonist is mainstream culture , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or a virus .
The point is not the identity of the enemy .
The point is the atmosphere of paranoia and hysteria the official narrative generates , which keeps the cult members ( or the society ) compliant .
In addition to being paranoid , these narratives are often internally inconsistent , illogical , and … well , just completely ridiculous .
This does not weaken them , as one might suspect .
Actually , it increases their power , as it forces their adherents to attempt to reconcile their inconsistency and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ absurdity , in order to remain in good standing with the cult .

“The language of the totalist environment is characterized by the thought-terminating cliché.

They become the start and finish of any ideological analysis.” — Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: : A Study of “Brainwashing” in China, 1961
If all this sounds familiar, good. Because the same techniques that most cult leaders use to control the minds of the members of their cults are used by totalitarian systems to control the minds of entire societies: Milieu Control, Loaded Language, Sacred Science, Demand for Purity, and other standard mind-control techniques. It can happen to pretty much any society, just as anyone can fall prey to a cult, given the right set of circumstances.

Armenia vs Azerbaijan War Update

As was predicted by many , in spite of the agreement signed in Moscow , thing on the ground in the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan have escalated : the Armenians have claimed that Azeri drones have attacked Armenian tactical ballistic missiles on Armenian soil and the Azeris have confirmed this , saying that this was both a warning and a preemptive attack to protect Azeri civilians .
Bottom line is this : Azerbaijan has now officially attacked Armenian soil ( as opposed to Karabakh soil ) and Armenia now has the right to appeal to the CSTO .
So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so , but now they can and , I believe , probably will do so .
Another interesting development is that the USA has accused Turkey of being involved in this war .

Well , for one thing , it was inevitable that the very first ceasefire agreement would be broken .
In such situations , they typically are .
The real risk now is that Russia will have to intervene .
There are three most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Peacekeeping operation : that would only be possible if all sides to the conflict agree to such an operation .

Right now , they prefer fighting down to the last bullet , but this will soon change for both parties .
Peacemaking operation : for this to happen , the UNSC should agree to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ VII of the UN Charter .
While it appears that Turkey currently has no backer in the UNSC , the US and UK hate for everything and anything Russian will probably secure a double veto ( with a possible French veto to boot ! )
just to avoid Russia succeeding at anything , including bringing peace to the region .
CSTO military intervention : in other words , Russia would strike at Azeri forces and assets to stop the Azeri aggression on Armenia .
This is something Russia absolutely will avoid , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no desire to destroy her excellent partnership with Azerbaijan and her very tenuous and unstable partnership with Turkey ( say , in Syria ) .
It is obvious what Russia will do next : using overt and covert means , she will try to affect the situation on the ground in such a way as to basically force both sides to agree to a Russia-led peacekeeping operation .

Covid v Flu & Very Dangerous People

What is becoming increasingly clear is that those in strategic power countries have been bribed to impose lockdowns etc , and other countries have followed their lead assuming they are correct .
The Flu deaths and real COVID are about the same .
Governments have NEVER shut down the world economy for the Flu .
It is obvious that there has been a covert operation behind bribing politicians most likely in Germany , Britain , Canada , and Australia for starters .
We would NEVER have closed the world economy for the upcoming flu season .
The number of doctors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The more doctors who come out , the more others are encouraged to speak the truth .
The press is corrupt and is working very hard to destroy our culture and society .
You do not find it in the mainstream press in Germany .
They keep trying to pretend these protests do not exist .
They are the imagination of “ conspiracy theorists ” so there is nothing to report .
This time , the Berlin protest was well organized and everyone kept the social distance so the police had no justification @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been doing .
Manipulating The World ... Martin Armstrong Check Amazon for Pricing .
I am warning right now , Europe is risking a violent uprising if it keeps this Great Reset agenda of Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates .
From February onward there is a risk of civil unrest against this absurd agenda .
Schwab with his vision of the Fourth Industrial Revolution all built of green energy is the fantasy of a typical academic .
Nobody created the industrial revolution .
No government invented the steam engine which set it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ managed it .
In fact , the government ALWAYS interferes and suppresses economic innovation .
Britain imposed a law that anyone driving a new-fangled automobile had to have a man walk before it with a horn and a flag to warn people one of these machines was coming .
By 1890 , the mergers of all these small railroad companies led to the Marxist intervention known as the Sherman Anti-Trust Act .
Sherman saw that mergers reduced jobs in the light of Marxism .
The internet has been created in the very same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and further the advancement of the whole .
Schwab is so wrong it is laughable .
It demonstrates that academics can not learn everything without experience .
Communism collapsed for the very same reason that a planned society can not replace human ingenuity because bureaucrats , like academics , lack the experience to actually see how the economy evolves .

What is becoming increasingly clear is that those in strategic power countries have been bribed to impose lockdowns etc, and other countries have followed their lead assuming they are correct. The Flu deaths and real COVID are about the same. Governments have NEVER shut down the world economy for the Flu. It is obvious that there has been a covert operation behind bribing politicians most likely in Germany, Britain, Canada, and Australia for starters. We would NEVER have closed the world economy for the upcoming flu season. The number of doctors coming out against COIVID keeps growing. The more doctors who come out, the more others are encouraged to speak the truth.
The press is corrupt and is working very hard to destroy our culture and society. You do not find it in the mainstream press in Germany. They keep trying to pretend these protests do not exist. They are the imagination of “conspiracy theorists” so there is nothing to report. This time, the Berlin protest was well organized and everyone kept the social distance so the police had no justification to attack the people ruthlessly as they have been doing. Manipulating The World... Martin Armstrong Check Amazon for Pricing.
I am warning right now, Europe is risking a violent uprising if it keeps this Great Reset agenda of Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates. From February onward there is a risk of civil unrest against this absurd agenda. Schwab with his vision of the Fourth Industrial Revolution all built of green energy is the fantasy of a typical academic. Nobody created the industrial revolution. No government invented the steam engine which set it in motion and they NEVER designed or managed it.
In fact, the government ALWAYS interferes and suppresses economic innovation. Britain imposed a law that anyone driving a new-fangled automobile had to have a man walk before it with a horn and a flag to warn people one of these machines was coming. By 1890, the mergers of all these small railroad companies led to the Marxist intervention known as the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. Sherman saw that mergers reduced jobs in the light of Marxism. The internet has been created in the very same way. Small startups are bought out and further the advancement of the whole.
Schwab is so wrong it is laughable. It demonstrates that academics cannot learn everything without experience. Communism collapsed for the very same reason that a planned society cannot replace human ingenuity because bureaucrats, like academics, lack the experience to actually see how the economy evolves.
These people are HIGHLY dangerous for they are fulfilling what our computer has been forecasting – the collapse of Western Civilization and the shift to China of the financial capital of the world. We DESPERATELY need to stop these people. They are destroying our future and that of our children because of their arrogance and lack of experience. If they remove Trump, they win for he is the ONLY person who would dare to prosecute any of these people.

lewrockwell--2020-10-16--While We Were Distracted: The World ‘Roll Up Your Sleeve’ Congress

“ The nine most terrifying words in the English language are : I ’ m from the government and I ’ m here to help.
” – President Ronald Reagan The week began with a circus they called a presidential debate and ended with the President being shuttled to Walter Reed after testing positive with The Rona .
Meanwhile , a virtual conference was taking place in Washington , DC called the World Vaccine Congress .
This was a 4-day brainstorming session with 300 speakers and thousands in attendance ; which of course included representatives from several pharmaceutical companies , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government agencies and NGO ’ s .
Our favorite Dr. Shortstuff Fauci opened the meeting as one of the first keynote speakers .
There is a second World Vaccine Congress – Europe beginning October 19 .
Gskyer Telescope , 70mm ... Best Price : $ 74.79 Buy New $ 84.99 Only one person with press credentials covered this extremely important meeting and reported on it .
The Washington Post had a speaker there , but I have found no coverage , from The WAPO or any other media outlet yet .
Much of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the world .
Recently , I began following WATB.tv .
Dr. June Knight is the lady behind WATB and when she announced that she was attending the conference so she could report on it I decided I would listen to her daily updates .
If you go to her website , you will notice that she is a Christian .
Her story of her journey to DC as a journalist who is given press credentials to the Whitehouse , and why she left to return to Tennessee is quite interesting , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She enlisted several volunteers to watch with her to make sure they did not miss anything .
From what I gathered , it sounded like they were overloaded with information .
They focused on one session each morning and afternoon .
Each person would then contribute to the report what they learned from that session .
The updates were long , up to 2 hours and Dr. Knight ’ s delivery was presented in a relaxed , southern , conversational manner rather than the traditional report you would see in a typical news @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was tedious .
I kept note paper with me and listened on earphones as I did chores .
Did I learn anything I didn ’ t think I already knew ?
I think what I learned is that it confirms my worst suspicions on what is planned in the next 12 to 18 months .
You can view the daily agenda for the World Vaccine Congress here .
What I will present is a focused view of certain portions of the agenda .
For instance , how they are using technology both as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they intend to use it to track who is vaccinated .
Much of the focus was on the US and the challenges they expect to have regarding vaccine “ hesitancy ” .
Remember when the President said the “ military would be used to distribute the vaccine in a very powerful way ” ?
There was a military panel there and the discussion included the challenges they had to overcome and what strategies were needed to overcome them .
Zesty Paws Allergy Imm ... Buy New $ 25.96 ( $ 0.29 / Count @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nationalism and how to combat it .
How to build peoples trust , particularly with the black community .
Of particular concern were people harboring certain “ ideologies ” including anti-vaxxers and people with religious objections .
These people were labeled extremists and Nazis .
Last July , Yale University enrolled 4000 participants in a study named Covid-19 Messaging Part 1 .
The study will help them to decide what kind of messaging will be the most persuasive to convince the “ hesitant ” to get vaccinated .
I believe this is also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ digital ” focus on the immune system using blockchain technology .
Compliance will be enforced using surveillance .
Allowing people to move around freely it makes it harder to locate them to make sure they are vaccinated .
Getting people in quarantine faster was suggested as one way to be able to more easily locate people .
Going back to the old normal is a non-starter .
Masks , social distancing and quarantines is the new normal .
Recently , the CDC released the initial draft on how the Covid-19 vaccine would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a 3 phased approach beginning with healthcare workers .
Once there are enough doses to vaccinate the general population , public/private partnerships will be used to facilitate the efficient distribution of the vaccine .
The Community Emergency Response Team is one aspect of this partnership .
Many churches are part of the CERT and can be used as a place to set up mobile vaccine units .
Before I move on to their discussion about possible vaccine ingredients , I think it ’ s important to talk about the RT-PCR tests that are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ case ” .
The question I don ’ t hear anybody asking is just what , exactly , is considered a case ?
Is the person sick ?
Or are these just people who had the PCR test and got a positive reading ?
Spiro Skouras answers these questions on activistpost.com .
But was PCR really developed with the intention of diagnosing infectious diseases ?
Is PCR capable of diagnosing infectious diseases ?
How could a test developed almost 40 years ago be used to diagnose a brand new disease found less @ @ @ @ @ @ @ report , we examine these questions in addition to reviewing video clips of multiple doctors weighing in on the subject including what the biochemist Kary Mullis who invented PCR , and won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for doing so , has to say .
Wantdo Women ’ s W ... Buy New $ 72.97 The short answer , for those who do not want to watch a 27-minute video , is no , the PCR test was not meant to diagnose any infectious disease .
In that same video , Dr Thomas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ used to manipulate the crisis and creating false positives/negatives .
This is extremely important to understand so I strongly encourage you to at least watch that part .
It begins at the 16-minute mark and is only about 5 minutes long .
If you only watch that part , you will also miss Dr. Shortstuff Fauci explaining that it ’ s highly unlikely that “ asymptomatic ” people are spreading the disease .
Getting back to the World Vaccine Congress topic , executives from Merck , Janssen ( Johnson & Johnson ) , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Sanofi and other manufacturers were in attendance .
One of the topics on the agenda was Bridging Multiple Technologies and Therapeutics .
While they will not reveal what exactly is going to be included in the injections , they have stated they intend to use new mRNA ( messenger ribonucleic acid ) technology .
For those of us who aren ’ t familiar with what mRNA does , a very simple explanation of what mRNA does is that they carry genetic instructions that are the blueprints every cell requires to become whatever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end .
That begs the question , what is mRNA technology ?
According to the scientist , Derrick Rossi , who discovered this technology in 2010 and founded the company Moderna , Inc : He found a way to “ reprogram ” the molecules that carry the genetic instructions for cell development in the human body , not to mention all biological lifeforms .
These molecules are called ‘ messenger ribonucleic acid ’ or mRNA and the newfound ability to rewrite those instructions to produce any kind of cell within a biological organism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medicine and science , even if no one has really noticed yet .
As Rossi , himself , puts it : “ The real important discovery here was you could now use mRNA , and if you got it into the cells , then you could get the mRNA to express any protein in the cells , and this was the big thing.
” Moderna Inc. , attracted almost a half billion dollars in federal award monies to begin developing vaccines using the technology .
The article goes on to state that this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Technologies Office was already working on implantable technologies which led to the development of hydrogel .
Bluemagic Womens One P ... Buy New $ 189.99 Hydrogel is a nanotechnology whose inventor early on boasted that “ If [ it ] pans out , with approval from FDA , then consumers could get the sensors implanted in their core to measure their levels of glucose , oxygen , and lactate.
” This contact lens-like material requires a special injector to be introduced under the skin where it can transmit light-based digital signals through a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ company created to market this technology , that allows for biological processes to be controlled remotely and opens the door to the potential manipulation of our biological responses and , ultimately , our entire existence , is called Profusa Inc and its operations are funded with millions from NIH and DARPA .
In March , the company was quietly inserted into the crowded COVID-19 bazaar in March 2020 , when it announced an injectable biochip for the detection of viral respiratory diseases , including COVID-19 .
Ingredients such as Cell cultures from aborted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are a concern to many Christians due to the moral issues and non-Christians because of the ick factor .
I find these things to be rather alarming but continuing on with the last subject they focused on : Mandatory Vaccines Around the World , Are They Working ?
While most of the logistics about how this is all going to be rolled out is secret including the fact that they are immune to FOIA requests , we do have the bare bones first draft available from the CDC which seems to match up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ roll out will not initially include a mandate .
A “ soft ” rollout will most likely be how the first doses will be dispensed .
Those first doses are to be dispensed to healthcare workers and people considered to be at high risk of becoming infected .
As production continues and more doses are available the pressure to be injected will increase .
Draconian measures , with Australia being used as an example of draconian , are not considered to be useful at this time in the US .
However , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be a problem then a mandate is not out of the question .
A recent article in the NEJM bears this out .
“ Noncompliance should incur a penalty ” and notes that it should be a “ relatively substantial ” one .
It suggests that “ employment suspension or stay-at-home orders , ” should be issued , but that fines should be discouraged because they can be legally challenged , and “ may stoke distrust without improving uptake.
” RT reported on this and opined : OZERO Bike Gloves for ... Buy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ authorities should avoid flaunting their relationship with vaccine manufacturers , the paper recommends – a tall order , given that President Donald Trump ’ s “ Operation Warp Speed ” vaccine development initiative is helmed by Moncef Slaoui , the former head of pharma giant GlaxoSmithKline ’ s vaccine division who had to quit the board of directors of Moderna – a frontrunner in the vaccine race – to take the job .
Slaoui notoriously was forced to offload over $ 10 million in Moderna stock after its value briefly skyrocketed following the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A more in depth look at who Slaoui is and what his goals are is available here .
More recently , Slaoui sits on the boards of pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology organizations .
He is also partner at MediciX investment firm , chairman of the board at Galvani Bioelectronics , chairman of the board at SutroVax and sits on the boards of Artisan Biosciences , Human Vaccines Project and Moderna Therapeutics .
Each of these companies is involved in vaccine development and the emerging field of bioelectronics .
Galvani Bioelectronics was formed out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ LLC ( formerly Google Life Sciences ) , an Alphabet company , and GSK .
The goal is to “ enable the research , development and commercialisation of bioelectronic medicines.
” That looks like a compelling argument for a conflict of interest to me .
A couple more things that I find extremely concerning that I want to pass on : The use of agencies that combat terrorism to deal with the “ anti-vaxxers ” is an idea that is being considered .
Also , the vaccine manufacturers will be immune from liability @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If anyone does want to listen to the reports from WATB.tv themselves you can listen to Day 4 here and from there you can find the other reports .
I will warn you that they had the reporting process down by Day 4 and this is the shortest and easiest one to listen to .
For me , after nearly 6 months of “ 2 weeks to flatten the curve ” I am left with more questions than answers ; even considering the fact that I know much more now about what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I did back in March .
The virus has a greater than 99.7 % survival rate .
( Scroll about halfway down to the chart to see the statistics ) Why are we still in a nationwide State of Emergency along with most of the states ?
Why are we still dealing with mask mandates when Spiro Skouras has Dr. Fauci on video stating that “ it ’ s highly unlikely that asymptomatic people are spreading disease ?

Why are we using a PCR test to diagnose an infectious disease that was not designed for that purpose ?
How many people are false positive that had to quarantine for no reason ?
Why is the CDC saying that they never even isolated a specific genetic sequence for SARS-Cov2 ?
Watch a video that breaks the CDC report down here .
Why does the military and the DOD need to be involved ?
Why is Darpa and big tech involved in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the vaccine contracts that are being handed out under Operation Warpspeed ?
Why is it that more and more scientists and medical professionals are speaking out against this Covid agenda but that information gets suppressed ?
What is the real agenda here ?
Could The Great Reset be the real agenda ?
One last question , and this is the most alarming of all .
Why , on September 21 , 2018 , did Microsoft apply for a patent for a Crypto-currency system that uses human body activity data ?
Here is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is talking about this .
I believe this can still be stopped .
But only if we stop believing lies .
Back in March President Trump said “ We are at war with an invisible enemy.

lewrockwell--2020-10-16--If the Virus Isn’t There…Why Do They Believe It Is?

For the past eight months , I ’ ve been providing evidence that no one has proved the COVID virus exists .
Over the past week , I ’ ve quoted two major sources—the CDC and the authors of a major European study—who admit they did not have any virus .
[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] And both of these groups were , at the same time , constructing a way to do a diagnostic test for that very virus which wasn ’ t there .
I ’ ve also pointed out that scientists throw around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus , ” like short-order cooks slinging hash in a diner .
The phrase is used with incredible carelessness and deceptive imprecision .
Likewise , researchers ’ claims of having “ sequenced ” the genetic structure of the virus are very misleading , because the sequencing is done without direct observation of the virus .
It is INFERRED from analyzing a piece of RNA which is ASSUMED ( not proved ) to come from the virus .
Dancing Naked in the M ... Mullis , Kary Best Price : $ 5.52 Buy New @ @ @ @ @ @ @ true believers .
They accept , like dogma , the standard and non-valid procedures for “ isolating ” and “ sequencing ” the virus .
A smaller number of scientists understand the hoax , but they remain criminally silent—or they are actively perpetuating the hoax .
In a similar vein—but without the absurd certainty—astronomers make all sorts of inferences about what is occurring on distant planets ; but they support sending probes into space to actually see and record what is happening there ; and they admit they are frequently surprised and shocked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that contradicts many of their inferences .
Not so with virologists and geneticists .
They utilize a closed system of analysis , which automatically confirms what they already believe .
This is the furthest thing from science .
This would be on the order of claiming the devil is causing hurricanes , and then “ proving it ” with a gibbering brand of abstract theology .
Of course , when it comes to viruses , the follow-up is censorship or ridicule of those who doubt theological “ biology.
” If a prestigious medical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intelligent debate about the existence of the COVID virus , remarkable things would happen .
In the light and fresh air of honest debate , all sorts of skeletons would emerge from the closet .
But such a debate is not permitted .
Why ?
Obviously , because the result would be devastating .
Good-Bye Germ Theory : ... Trebing , Dr. William P Best Price : $ 36.69 Buy New $ 14.00 Because of the absence of such open and frank discussion , people are left with two thoughts : a pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consider ; and a hundred years of official propaganda about germs ( and genes ) as the ominous ever-present source of all disease is too formidable to reject .
I want to give you an idea what it ’ s like to encounter researchers ’ arcane descriptions of “ isolating the virus.
” Here is a section from a major Chinese study , published in the New England Journal of Medicine , on February 20 , 2020 .
This is the key study which “ confirmed ” that a new virus was causing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ A Novel Coronavirus from Patients with Pneumonia in China , 2019.

For the past eight months, I’ve been providing evidence that no one has proved the COVID virus exists.
Over the past week, I’ve quoted two major sources—the CDC and the authors of a major European study—who admit they did not have any virus. [1] [2] [3] And both of these groups were, at the same time, constructing a way to do a diagnostic test for that very virus which wasn’t there.
I’ve also pointed out that scientists throw around the phrase, “isolation of the virus,” like short-order cooks slinging hash in a diner. The phrase is used with incredible carelessness and deceptive imprecision.
Likewise, researchers’ claims of having “sequenced” the genetic structure of the virus are very misleading, because the sequencing is done without direct observation of the virus. It is INFERRED from analyzing a piece of RNA which is ASSUMED (not proved) to come from the virus. Dancing Naked in the M... Mullis, Kary Best Price: $5.52 Buy New $15.17 (as of 02:58 UTC - Details)
Most of these scientists are true believers. They accept, like dogma, the standard and non-valid procedures for “isolating” and “sequencing” the virus.
A smaller number of scientists understand the hoax, but they remain criminally silent—or they are actively perpetuating the hoax.
In a similar vein—but without the absurd certainty—astronomers make all sorts of inferences about what is occurring on distant planets; but they support sending probes into space to actually see and record what is happening there; and they admit they are frequently surprised and shocked by what they find: a picture that contradicts many of their inferences.
Not so with virologists and geneticists. They utilize a closed system of analysis, which automatically confirms what they already believe. This is the furthest thing from science. This would be on the order of claiming the devil is causing hurricanes, and then “proving it” with a gibbering brand of abstract theology.
Of course, when it comes to viruses, the follow-up is censorship or ridicule of those who doubt theological “biology.”
If a prestigious medical journal opened up its pages to an intelligent debate about the existence of the COVID virus, remarkable things would happen. In the light and fresh air of honest debate, all sorts of skeletons would emerge from the closet. But such a debate is not permitted.
Why? Obviously, because the result would be devastating. Good-Bye Germ Theory: ... Trebing, Dr. William P Best Price: $36.69 Buy New $14.00 (as of 04:04 UTC - Details)
Because of the absence of such open and frank discussion, people are left with two thoughts: a pandemic based on nothing is too astonishing to consider; and a hundred years of official propaganda about germs (and genes) as the ominous ever-present source of all disease is too formidable to reject.
I want to give you an idea what it’s like to encounter researchers’ arcane descriptions of “isolating the virus.” Here is a section from a major Chinese study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, on February 20, 2020. This is the key study which “confirmed” that a new virus was causing an outbreak in China. Title: “A Novel Coronavirus from Patients with Pneumonia in China, 2019.” [4] The section is: “Isolation of Virus”. You’ll need hip boots and a machete as you wade your way through it—
“Bronchoalveolar-lavage fluid samples were collected in sterile cups to which virus transport medium was added. Samples were then centrifuged to remove cellular debris. The supernatant was inoculated on human airway epithelial cells,13 which had been obtained from airway specimens resected from patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer and were confirmed to be special-pathogen-free by NGS.14”
“Human airway epithelial cells were expanded on plastic substrate to generate passage-1 cells and were subsequently plated at a density of 2.5×105 cells per well on permeable Transwell-COL (12-mm diameter) supports. Human airway epithelial cell cultures were generated in an air–liquid interface for 4 to 6 weeks to form well-differentiated, polarized cultures resembling in vivo pseudostratified [!] mucociliary epithelium.13”
“Prior to infection, apical surfaces of the human airway epithelial cells were washed three times with phosphate-buffered saline; 150 μl of supernatant from bronchoalveolar-lavage fluid samples was inoculated onto the apical surface of the cell cultures. After a 2-hour incubation at 37°C, unbound virus was removed by washing with 500 μl of phosphate-buffered saline for 10 minutes; human airway epithelial cells were maintained in an air–liquid interface incubated at 37°C with 5% carbon dioxide. Every 48 hours, 150 μl of phosphate-buffered saline was applied to the apical surfaces of the human airway epithelial cells, and after 10 minutes of incubation at 37°C the samples were harvested. Pseudostratified [!] mucociliary epithelium cells were maintained in this environment; apical samples were passaged in a 1:3 diluted vial stock to new cells. The cells were monitored daily with light microscopy, for cytopathic effects, and with RT-PCR, for the presence of viral nucleic acid in the supernatant. After three passages, apical samples and human airway epithelial cells were prepared for transmission electron microscopy…” What Really Makes You ...

I can guarantee one thing: If a medical journal opened up its pages to a frank and protracted discussion, from all comers, about this “process of isolation,” you would see fireworks exploding in all directions. Within a few months, there would be raging global debate about the authenticity of “isolation.”
The density of the description in the China study is exactly why, for months, I’ve been demanding a straightforward real-world experimental test of the “new virus.” [5]
You line up 1000 patients who have been diagnosed with the new epidemic illness. You remove tissue samples from all of them. You put these samples through the above “isolation process.” You decide which patients have a huge amount of virus in their bodies.
Those patients should certainly be ill.
Then LET’S SEE. Are they ill or are they running marathons?
Real world.
Not lab world.
This study will never be done for one obvious reason. Unlike the astoundingly complex manipulations that go on in the lab, this real-world experiment has a yes or no answer. Are the patients ill or healthy?
But that’s asking too much from these researchers. They would rather infer and assume whatever suits their fancy.
They never want the rubber to meet the road.
