Pfizer & Moderna found 'slow kill' killshot 'sweet spot'?
Did they devise their Malone, Weissman, Kariko, Bourla, Bancel, Sahin et al. mRNA technology based gene mRNA vaccine to kill 'JUST ENOUGH'?
A bioweapon with just right 'G' sweet spot kill rate? Enough that we would be alarmed but that FDA & Health Canada etc. could keep it killing; not pull it? Stealth, just below the 'pull now' radar?
This is an important question for nothing about the mRNA technology by Malone and Weissman and Bourla et al. is beneficial, in fact it kills. Nothing about mRNA technology with the LNP complex is good. Nothing. Malone et al. brought us technology and vaccine that kills and I argue they know and knew. History will center these characters properly, it always does.
Where they belong in the discourse.
For they brought us death, they brought us a bioweapon, a slow kill bioweapon, never needed for a pandemic that never was, a fake fraud 95% false-positive’ RT-PCR manufactured non-pandemic….a flu…a 0.05% IFR flu at worst. Malone et al. brought an injection, a delivery system, a mRNA-LNP delivery platform…to deliver death…to ransack your DNA forever…to transform the human population….one that yes, is engagging in depopulation, and this may be stage one, the die is set, you have stage one…what is stage 2 or 3? What if indeed this is a binary or tertiary multi-stage bioweapon? What comes next will accomplish their depopulation goals? Have they set the stage?

A grab for the kingship
Back to Robert de Bruce. In early 1302 he submitted to Edward I, who promised to support the Bruce claim to the Scottish throne, in exchange for Bruce support against the Guardians of Scotland i.e. the Comyn/Balliol faction and their allies.
Bruce may have been with the English king at Roxburgh in mid-February, before the latter went back to England. At the beginning of March Bruce was at Linlithgow in the company of two English nobles: Robert Clifford, now lord of Caerlaverock, and John de St John, former seneschal of Gascony.
A few days later Bruce was at the grange of Maybole, which (I think) lay in South Ayrshire. There he issued a deed, which acknowledged that he would no longer ask the tenants of Melrose Abbey living in his earldom of Carrick to serve with him in a Scottish army going 'abroad'. That could mean overseas, or any considerable distance from home.
Now he had returned to Edward's peace, Bruce no longer had to demand military service of his vassals. He was also in receipt of money and supplies sent up from England to support the king's men in Scotland. For instance, in November one of Bruce's yeomen, Robert de Anand, received a cache of wine, wheat and 'hard fish' for his lord's use.
The standard interpretation is that Bruce and King Edward had need of each other, to stave off the threat of John Balliol returning to Scotland with a French army. Personally I am not convinced: Philip the Fair, King of France, had summoned Edward to military service in Flanders in the autumn of 1301. Edward responded by sending troops to join the French army in November.
That was about two months before Bruce submitted to Edward in early 1302. Even Philip, whose motives are often inscrutable, was unlikely to ally with Edward and fight him at the same time. The French king had now abandoned his policy of war with England, in favour of drawing upon English resources to attack the Flemings.
Possibly Bruce had fore-guessed – or been forewarned – that Philip was going to ditch his Scottish allies. Before that could happen, it made sense for Bruce to jump into bed with Edward, who would now have a free hand against the Scots. Once the English king had conveniently destroyed his enemies, Bruce could make a grab for the kingship.

Note to Readers: "The Fix is In" Underscoring a point made on last week's livestream.
Last week on this site, I published, “Is the Electoral Fix Already In?” and held a livestream on the subject that same night. I wanted to make sure I clarified something mentioned on the livestream.
I asked former Department of Defense official and current Georgetown Law professor Rosa Brooks if she was involved with the “loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers” reported on by NBC News in its January 14th article, “Fears grow that Trump will use the military in ‘dictatorial ways’ if he returns to the White House.” Brooks was the co-founder of the Transition Integrity Project profiled in the article, a “loose” group that got a lot of press in the summer of 2020.
One of the only people mentioned by name by NBC as a participant in the new group is Mary McCord, former acting head of the National Security Division at the Justice Department and also a Georgetown academic, serving as director of the Institution for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at Georgetown Law.
Brooks not only said she was not part of the group reported on by NBC (“Nope”), but added, “I am not sure there even is a ‘group,’ as such — just various people and organizations that occasionally coordinate or at least touch base, but often don’t do either.”
Having mentioned it on the air, I thought I should put that answer in print.
Thanks. Stay tuned for a story on different subject, momentarily.

‘The West Australian government has finally released its 2021 vaccine safety surveillance report,1 6 months behind its promised publication date of August 2022. The equivalent national report was released in September of last year.

WA Gov has offered no reason for why they sat on this report for so long before publishing it, but the attitude of Minister for Health, Amber-Jade Sanderson gives a clue. When petitioned last year by thousands of West Australians to publicly release the health advice on which WA Gov based their extreme pandemic policies, Sanderson not only refused to make the health advice freely available, but countered that in asking for transparency from the government, petitioners were somehow seeking to, “undermine the Government’s efforts to keep Western Australians safe.” So much for the Labor government’s much touted promise of ‘gold standard transparency.’
Unique to WA vaccine safety surveillance data from 2021 is the fact that vaccine effects can be easily differentiated from Covid infection effects. There was almost no Covid in WA in 2021, due to WA's extreme zero covid policies.2 In contrast, almost four million doses of Covid vaccination were administered to the population during 2021.
The Covid jab rollout began on 22 February 2021 in Western Australia. You can see when it began.
In 2021, adverse events following immunisation (AEFIs) with the Covid vaccines were reported at almost 24x the rate (per 100, 000 doses) of AEFIs for all other vaccines combined. The report refers to this phenomenon as an “exponential increase.”
From the report (emphasis mine):
“The number of adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) reported to Western Australia Vaccine Safety Surveillance (WAVSS) was significantly higher in 2021 than in previous years (10,726 compared with an average of 276 per year for the 2017-2020 period) due to the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccination program.”
The total number of reported AEFIs for all vaccines combined (including Covid vaccines) in 2021 was 38x the average for the preceding four years. By comparison, the increase in the total number of vaccine doses administered (before Covid vaccines) in 2021 (5,756,723 doses) was only 2.8x the number administered in 2020 (2,071,167 doses).
The biggest month for AEFI reports, October 2021, is the same month in which the eligibility criteria was expanded to all people aged >18, walk-in vaccination became available, and vaccine mandates for the majority of WA workers were announced.
KEY POINTS
The AEFIs disproportionately affected women, with the majority (64%) of reported AEFI cases being female.
57% of AEFIs were treated in the emergency department (ED) or in the hospital.3 This is in contrast to the TGA’s communications with me earlier this year, when a spokesperson stated, “Reassuringly, the majority of adverse event reports for COVID-19 vaccines have been for common, expected and frequently mild reactions.” There’s nothing mild about being rushed to ED, so either WA is an outlier, or the TGA’s statement is misleading, on a level with ‘being rushed to ED after vaccination is common and expected, so don’t be alarmed if you end up in ED.’
Most AEFIs (58%) were self-reported, with only 35% being reported by healthcare providers. In WA, it is a statutory requirement for health professionals to report AEFIs. However, it is likely that as of at least March 2021, medical professionals were reluctant to report AEFIs due to fear of reprisal from the regulator, AHPRA, whose March 2021 position statement expressly forbade medical professionals from taking any actions that could be perceived as undermining the Covid vaccination rollout.4 The fact that the majority (79%) of routine vaccine AEFIs were reported by healthcare providers supports this argument. It is also likely that many health professionals were simply not aware that some AEFIs were related to Covid vaccination in 2021, and hence were less likely to report them than AEFIs for more established vaccines. In the first year of the rollout, many women reported anecdotally of being told by their doctor that Covid vaccines can't affect menstrual cycles, but research finally confirmed in 2022 that in fact, this is one of the most common side effects of Covid vaccination for women.
Those aged 30-49 were hit hardest, with AEFI rates of 314-316 per 100, 000 doses. The 50-59 age bracket fared the third worst. This is significant when you consider that these groups make up the majority of the workforce, and that over half of all AEFIs were treated in ED/hospital. AEFIs for children under 12 years old do not feature in this report, as the Covid vaccines weren’t approved for kids aged 5-11 until December 2021.
Background rates of myocarditis and pericarditis increased by 35% and 25%, respectively, in 2021 compared to the prior five-year average. As already established above, this increase cannot be attributed to Covid infection, as WA had almost no Covid cases in 2021. What we did have was almost four million doses of Covid vaccination. More on myo and pericarditis in the next section on serious AEs.
Chest pain was the fifth most commonly reported AEFI for Covid vaccines in 2021.

ESPECIALLY SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS
CONTEXT: Vaccines have been withdrawn from the market for the following rates of serious AEFIs:
The swine flu vaccine (1976) was withdrawn for a rate of one serious case of Guillain-Barré syndrome per 100, 000 doses.
The rotavirus vaccine, Rotashield (1999), was withdrawn for a rate of one-to-two serious cases of intussusception per 10, 000 doses.
The TGA withdrew Fluvax Junior (2010) for children aged 6 months to <5 after 25 reports of febrile convulsions following vaccination (16 of which were from WA) triggered an in-depth investigation, which determined a causal link between Fluvax Junior and increased risk of febrile convulsions.5
Note that the below includes confirmed cases only. These are cases that have been assessed and determined, by the WA Vaccine Safety Advisory Committee (WAVSAC) or other relevant health professionals, to be causally linked to vaccination.
Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction. Out of 181 cases reported, 49 were diagnostically confirmed, 47 cases were determined uncertain, and 73 cases were awaiting review at the time the data was analysed. The first dose of Pfizer’s Comirnaty and AstraZeneca’s Vaxzevria carried the highest risk, at 2.4/100,000 and 1.9/100,000 doses, respectively.
Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) is a known serious side effect of Vaxzevria, identified in 2021. 13 cases of TTS were confirmed or probable. For those aged >60, the rate of TTS after Vaxzevria was 2.1/100,000 doses, which is on par with national figures reported by the TGA at the time that this data was analysed.
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks platelets in the blood and megakaryocytes in the bone marrow resulting in low platelet counts, causing easy bruising and bleeding. 30 cases of ITP were confirmed, and once again, the first doses of Vaxzevria and Comirnaty were the most dangerous, at a risk rate of 3.5/100,000 and 1.9/100,000 doses, respectively.
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a serious immune disorder when nerves are attacked by immune cells resulting in pain, numbness, muscle weakness and/or difficulty walking. 14 cases of GBS were confirmed following Covid vaccination. The first dose of Vaxzevria carried a risk of 1.2/100,000 doses.
Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle and pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardium (the thin, sac-like tissue surrounding the heart muscle). Myocarditis and pericarditis can occur together or separately - when they occur together it is called myopericarditis.
The below table shows the 138 confirmed cases of myocarditis or myopericarditis reported to WAVSS in 2021. Moderna’s Spikevax is by far and away the standout product in this category (not in a good way), with a risk of 7.3/100,000 doses, increasing to 12.9/100,000 on dose two. Comirnaty carries an overall risk of 4.5/100,000 doses.
Interestingly, these rates are more than twice the national average at the time this report was compiled, with the TGA reporting rates of myocarditis/myopericarditis at 2.2/100,000 doses of Spikevax and 1.5/100,000 doses of Comirnaty.
When you break it down by age, the risk skyrockets in certain brackets. Again, Spikevax is the standout, with a myocarditis/myopericarditis risk of 21.4/100,000 doses for those aged 25-29 years.
Of the total 365 confirmed cases of pericarditis, risk was again higher on the first dose, 24.3/100,000 doses for Spikevax, and 14.4/100,000 doses for Comirnaty. The combined risk/dose rate is 18.4/100,000 doses of Spikevax, and 11.9/100,000 doses of Comirnaty.
National pericarditis rates reported by the TGA were 8.6/100,000 doses of Spikevax and 7.1/100,000 doses of Comirnaty, so once again, WA’s confirmed cases represent a significantly higher risk rate.
Rates of pericarditis for 2021 by age are shown in Fig. 12, below. WOAH, BIG BLACK ARROW - the rate of pericarditis cases occurring after Spikevax is 53.5/100,000 doses in the age bracket of 25-29 years.
87 deaths were reported, with at least 40 of these being identified in active surveillance and having occurred within 21 days of vaccination. Only one death was confirmed to be causally linked to vaccination. There needs to be further transparency about how WAVSAC conducts such assessments, however this information falls outside of the scope of this report.6
Ramsay Hunt Syndrome is listed as an AEFI of special interest (Appendix 3), the same condition that has afflicted Justin Bieber since mid-2022. Bieber is yet to make a full recovery, announcing last week that he has had to cancel more tour dates scheduled for this year. Bieber has never announced his vaccination status publicly, but in 2021, his promoters announced a vaccine mandate for attendance of his South Africa tour to apply to everyone >12 years old.
MORE AEFIs, BUT NOTHING TO SEE HERE
About the massive increase in AEFI reports after Covid vaccination, the report states,
“The high number of reports in 2021 following COVID-19 vaccination reflects higher uptake of COVID-19 vaccination, and high engagement from the public and health care providers with the monitoring of vaccine safety.”
“The COVID-19 vaccination program attracted considerable public interest and media attention in 2021, almost certainly increasing public awareness of vaccine safety. This increase in publicity may have contributed to increased awareness of AEFI and increased reporting of COVID-19 vaccine AEFI to WAVSS.”
The report does not raise or address the possibility that an increased reporting rate (not raw numbers, but rate) could partly be due to the fact that the Covid vaccines cause more AEFIs than traditional vaccines.
The report cites academic literature7 to support its explanation of more publicity = more AEFI reporting, and I concede that point. However, there is no mention of why this particular class of vaccines might have attracted public interest and media attention regarding safety concerns. You know, like the spate of vaccine injuries that occurred during the trials but were covered up, or the injuries that started occurring immediately after the rollout, or the experimental nature of the mRNAs, or the unprecedented mass coercion of the entire West Australian population to undergo a novel medical procedure in exchange for the right to work or see their families.
WHAT THEY GOT RIGHT
The introduction of data linkage between WA’s active surveillance system, SmartVax and the WAVSS passive surveillance system has improved the detection and reporting of AEFIs.
From the report,
”In 2021, 230 possible AEFI following COVID-19 vaccinations that had not already been reported to WAVSS were identified using the newly established data linkage active surveillance system.”
The data linkage system also identified 40 of the total 87 reported deaths.
I find the wording in the report unclear, but from cross-referencing against reports from prior years, it appears that the SafeVax (active) and WAVSS (passive) systems used to analyse their data independently, with each body reporting on AEFIs from its own data set only. What is different from 2021 is that the WAVSS report includes SafeVax surveillance data. This is much better than the previous system, so credit where credit is due.
For some reason, WAVSS included SafeVax data on Covid vaccine AEFIs, but not on other vaccines in this report. If they had included the 98 AEFIs reported under SafeVax surveillance of all other vaccines, then the proportion of Covid vaccine AEFIs would be 16x all other vaccines (as opposed to 24x). I don’t know why WAVSS chose not to report the SafeVax data for vaccines other than the Covid ones. WA Health has been contacted for clarification.
In 2021, WAVSS also began directly reporting AEFIs to the TGA. This is such baseline bureaucratic functioning, it probably should have been done years ago.
Finally, I acknowledge that the monitoring of serious AEFIs by WAVSS (e.g. TTS, myocarditis) in collaboration with the TGA did affect the recommendations by TGA and ATAGI, albeit nowhere near to the degree that it should have.
Final word from a friend of DDU
In the words of a Covid vaccine-injured West Australian who keeps a keen eye on the figures:
“The 2 sigma threshold is a warning signal that was clearly exceeded in 2021. This threshold was chosen by the WAVSS in their 2020 Annual Report, Fig. 2.8 The chance of this happening randomly is less than 5% (and perhaps as low as 1.24%). Thus, the Covid Vaccines caused the high AEFI rate for 2021.”
”It's astonishing that the AstraZeneca vaccine has not been withdrawn after causing 13 confirmed deaths in Australia. The Covid vaccines have verifiably caused death, as well as a range of other serious life-altering conditions to West Australians, including myself. They should have been withdrawn already.”

The Fall of Rome, Updated In retrospect, maybe they shouldn't have offered the barbarians free dental work. ANN COULTER JAN 31
Third-worlders killed three Americans in Jordan over the weekend, and our political establishment is ready to start World War III. Which is more of a national security threat: terrorists 6,000 miles away, or our wide-open border?
People have different ways of evaluating threats, but the most basic test is: Which one kills more U.S. citizens?
Americans killed by Islamic terrorists in Islamic lands so far this year: 3.
Americans killed by third-worlders who entered our country illegally so far this year: 150.
I’m not even counting the 100,000 Americans who die annually of fentanyl and meth delivered by Mexican drug cartels. That’s 270 deaths a day right there.
But overdose deaths, I’m told, can’t be blamed on Mexico because Americans voluntarily took the drugs. I note that this is the only circumstance in which we’re allowed to blame the addict. In every other context, it’s not the druggie’s fault. It’s a “disease"! Just hand us your checkbook so we can fund the addict’s lifestyle and endless stints in rehab.
So we’ll ignore those dead Americans, just like open-borders enthusiasts do.
How about Americans murdered by illegals? Every year, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests nearly 2,000 illegal aliens who’ve committed murder in this country. Last year, for example, ICE caught 1,323 illegals with homicide convictions and 390 with homicide charges pending. (They’re all guilty.)
That’s about 1,700 Americans murdered by illegals every year, or five a day.
Three Americans on a military assignment in Jordan are killed by foreigners during the month of January, and we’re sending in the Marines. More than 150 Americans in America are murdered by foreigners that same month -- and we send in the social workers.
This week, CNN, MSNBC and Fox News (especially Fox News) have begun every show with “breaking news” on the Jordan attack, and then spent half an hour demanding retaliation.
We’ve gotten so accustomed to the political class not caring about Americans murdered by illegals that I don’t think anyone other than me even finds this weird. Couldn’t the networks give us maybe a fast 90 seconds on the five American citizens killed daily by foreigners who broke into our country?
As I may have mentioned a time or two, outside of the U.S., Canada, Australia and a few other places settled by the British, plus Japan and Israel, the rest of the world is a cesspool of illiterate savages living on less than $10 a day who are thunderstruck by electricity and written language. (Thanks to the “refugee crisis,” Northern Europe is about five years from going full cesspool.)
We have no choice but to deal with the third-worlders in our own backyard. But why are we plopping American troops in the middle of third-worlders on other continents? Why are we spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on a Border Security Program in Jordan when our country is being invaded?
These far-flung deployments don’t make one American safer, but do “risk angering [the] population,” as the Air Force Times put it in a gargantuan understatement.
Idea: How about not putting Americans there?
But instead of saying that, Republicans are responding to the Jordan attack by sneering at President Biden for being “weak” and “scared of his own shadow." (That was Suzy Warmonger Nikki Haley).
Yes, it seems that Republican presidents have an invisible forcefield that prevents terrorists from behaving like terrorists! You know, like the 1983 Beirut bombings that killed 241 American servicemen under Ronald Reagan, or Muslim immigrants murdering 3,000 Americans under George W. Bush.
Demanding a military response, Suzy Warmonger asks: “When have we ever let men and women sit and take strikes like that?”
Answer: Five times a day, right here in America.
Republicans have nearly rolled their eyes out of their sockets in response to the left pretending we’re still at war with the Russkies.
REFRESHER: Reagan won the Cold War three decades ago. It’s over, move on. (Incidentally, at the time, liberals were firmly on the commies' side.)
But conservatives are play-acting that it’s 1941: They view every peasant uprising anywhere in the world as if it’s the next Hitler, and only America can stop him!
None of these upheavals are the Third Reich. But more important, it’s our country that’s being invaded -- by bands of destitute, culturally backward people. We were worried about Germans? If they’d invaded, at least things would work. Now we can’t even maintain the roads, subways, electrical grids and sewage systems built by previous generations.
We didn’t have to worry about a third-world invasion during World War II because we weren’t a welfare state. Until LBJ’s Great Society programs, any preliterate people who wandered into our country would starve to death. Now we lure them here with free iPhones, hot meals, hotel rooms, airline flights, housing, gigantically expensive medical care and the promise of welfare for life. All paid for by you, taxpayer.
Fall of Rome, modern edition: The Romans offered the barbarians free iPhones.
You want open borders? Go back to the laissez-faire country of the 1940s.
Great idea, Ann! Except it’ll never happen because of all the third-worlders already living and voting here. The only thing that works, ever would work and ever will work is mass deportations and a gigantic wall.

holy shit, Taylor Swift has broken Donald Trump’s worm-infested brain Taylor Swift is everything Donald Trump is not.
Little Donny Fuckface has a lot on what’s left of his decaying mind.
he’s in a world of shit. he’s already on the hook for close to 90 million dollars for defaming the woman he raped. he’s got four concurrent criminal trials going on. he’s fighting to remain on the ballot in Colorado and Maine, while additional states mull dropping him from theirs. his gold-digging third wife hates his guts. and we may find out as early as today just how many hundreds of millions Judge Engoron will order him to fork over for being a lifelong business fraud and tax cheat.
which is why it’s super fucking satisfying to learn that he can still find the time to pitch a shit-fit about how a talented young woman who does actual good in this world is a thousand times more popular than he is.
Upgrade to paid
Last month, the source close to Trump adds, the ex-president commented to some confidants that it “obviously” made no sense that he was not named Time magazine’s 2023 Person of the Year — an honor that went to none other than Swift in December.
Donald Trump is for the first time in his pampered life facing serious financial ruin and possible jail time, and Taylor Swift’s popularity is what eats away at him.
Taylor Swift is everything that Donny Diaperstain is not, and it’s killing him.
she’s young and healthy. Trump is a cheeseburger-gobbling nightmare who is one shard of arterial plaque away from shuffling off this mortal coil.
Taylor Swift makes people feel good. Trump makes people hate.
also, Donny, you could stand to take a few lessons from Taylor as to the artful application of makeup.
she makes music that people enjoy. Trump has to resort to cheesy swindles and phony grifts to trick gullible rubes into parting with their money.
Taylor Swift is a woman from a small town in Pennsylvania who became an actual billionaire.
Donald Trump is the big-city nepo baby who was handed everything on a platter and turned his 400 million dollar inheritance into a billion dollar loss, and then went on to go broke running casinos.
do you know how a colossal a fuckup you have to be to bankrupt a casino? it’s a place where people go to shovel cash into your pockets twenty-four hours a day. where did the money go, moron?
Taylor Swift is a generous philanthropist. Donald Trump is such a cheap skinflint bastard that he buried his ex-wife at one of his golf motels so he could get a tax break — and then let weeds grow over the grave.
Melania has so much to look forward to
Taylor Swift got to be on a magazine cover. Donald Trump got to have a mugshot.
boo fucking hoo.
suck it up, buttercup. normal people don’t obsess over shit like this.
normal people who aren’t profoundly broken inside simply get on with their lives. they don’t live by some fucked-up internal scale that measures attention, and go ape-shit if they’re not at the top of it.
know what else normal people don’t do? make up weird conspiracy theories about a woman who is living rent-free in your head.
Vivek Ramaswamy uncorked his most bizarre election conspiracy theory to date on Monday, suggesting that the NFL playoffs may be rigged in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs to give Taylor Swift more national air time ahead of an eventual endorsement of Joe Biden this fall.
you’ve got to see it to believe it.
“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month. And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall. Just some wild speculation over here, let’s see how it ages over the next 8 months.”
my god, the shrieking voices in Vivek’s head must have been working overtime to come up with this nonsense.
remember when this guy was the Republican front-runner for about fifteen minutes, until people started actually listening to the batshittery coming out of his mouth — after which then it was bye fucking bye, Vivek!
but hold on to your hats — it gets even loonier. Jesse Watters has a few bright ideas of his own:
“have you ever wondered why or how she blew up like this? well, around four years ago, the Pentagon psychological operations unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset during a NATO meeting.”
what the fuck? the who did what, where? I know what all those words mean by themselves, but when you put them together in that order, I have no fucking clue what you’re gibbering about.
Jesse, are you ok? did you munch on the wrong kind of mushrooms? has Judge Jeanine been sharing her special box wine with you?
Jack Posobiec, the pizzagate doofus, is another one of these brainiacs offering Swift free rent in his capacious skull.
here’s Jack, speaking recently to a gathering of who gives a shit:
“After expanding some more on his Taylor Swift op theory, Jack Posobiec adds: ‘We don’t have Taylor Swift on our side, but you know who we have? We have Kid Rock. We have Ted Nugent. We have influencers. We have all these people — Jon Voight.’”
imagine bragging about having Kid Rock and Ted Nugent on your team. oh yeah, that’s a murderer’s row of talent right there. Kid Rock, who hasn’t been a kid or rocked since the Coolidge administration, and Three Chord Nooge, the self-proclaimed pedophile who literally shit his pants to avoid serving his country.
oh, the google searches you end up doing in the name of journalism
bring it on, dipshits.
now let’s circle back to Donny Brainworms, because there’s one more thing about Taylor Swift that absolutely fucking terrifies him — as well it should:
Trump loyalists working on or close to the former president’s campaign, longtime Trump allies in right-wing media, and an array of outside advisers to the ex-president have long taken it as a given that Swift will eventually endorse Biden (as she did in 2020). Indeed, several of these Republicans and conservative media figures have discussed the matter with Trump over the past few months, the sources say.
Taylor Swift telling millions of her devoted fans to register to vote and pull the lever for Joe Biden?
shoot that shit straight into my veins.

Scotland Week 2 - All-Cause Mortality a review of the trends 2010-2024. How the government LIES with statistics to hide the bodies and cover up their ongoing crimes.
https://dksdata.com/ExcessDeaths
In Scotland alone, just by using the 'post-pandemic' years, the government has moved the baseline average for calculating Excess Deaths for the first two weeks of 2024 by; 398 deaths over the 10-year pre-pandemic average. 293 deaths over the 5-year pre-pandemic average. Even 140 deaths over the 5-year rolling average.
This shift in the baseline artificially changes the expectation of how many deaths are acceptable to society. If 2020 was such a horrific 'outlier' 'pandemic' year with a huge number of unexpected deaths, then anything greater than that since should be just as unacceptable. However, it was accepted in 2021, 2022, 2023 and now has become a new baseline for 2024.
In 2020 we shut down the world for fewer excess deaths than we are now so readily accepting as a 'New Normal'. How is it that the world has so easily accepted 'pandemic' level deaths as the status quo?
As we have had NO correction to account for the avoidable deaths between 2020 and 2023, even the 10-year pre-pandemic average should be considered high. Therefore, 'unexpected deaths' really should be considered off the charts right now, not negative numbers as the current stats pretend.
In Scotland alone, we have at least 32K in cumulative excess deaths since 2019 without the expected 'correction' for the ongoing rise in deaths (or the artificial lag hiding more bodies).
Like the UK, when you look at Scotland over 10 years you see a sign wave pattern on cumulative deaths. 2020 should have been the start of the 5-year downward trend for excess deaths. Instead, deaths started to rise significantly right after the first lockdowns (not before).
The COVID response killed people, plain and simple.
In the chart below (using Scottish NRS data), you can even see the bad ILI (Influenza Like Illness) season in 2018 where not many people were sick, but there was an increase in excess deaths. This is typical as we have a couple of bad flu seasons for infections (but not as many deaths) then a year of lower infection rates for ILI's but more deaths.
This is how respiratory diseases work. They are either highly infectious or deadly, not both.
Check the thread below for England and Wales to see how this pattern matches as expected in the 10 years before the world lost its collective mind.
Wash and repeat across the world where the COVID response has killed millions.
And for those preparing for 'next time' - THIS IS NOT OVER. All the restrictions and insanity that started in March of 2020 worldwide are still in place for Care Homes and Hospitals. And everything used to EXECUTE the COVID response remains worldwide. Governments didn't need a WHO 'contract' to do what they did in 2020 and beyond. Why do you think they would need one moving forward?
You were never "protecting Grandma". You were helping governments kill them. And this continues in ignorance under the lie that is "focused protection".
dksdata.com/Care
The damage from the COVID response is people dying at accelerated rates in all ages, especially children.
There is no excuse to say you don't know anymore. There never really was.
https://avoidabledeathawareness.com
This only ends when you stand up and truly act for those with no voice. Those with no choice.
TIME IS UP.
And for those who swore an oath to protect. DO YOUR JOB.
dksdata.com/podcasts
TO ALL IN THE JUDICIAL PROCESS
Police, Prosecutors, Judges. If Impaired Driving Suddenly Increased by 1,000%+, how long would you ignore it? FOUR YEARS?
Would you take Judicial Notice if the Government said "Nothing to see here"? OR WOULD YOU ACT?
Human Rights were removed - YOU IGNORED IT
Crimes were committed - YOU IGNORED IT
Informed Consent was denied - YOU IGNORED IT
Excess Deaths INCREASED - YOU IGNORED IT
Adverse Events INCREASED - YOU IGNORED IT
YOU CAN NOT IGNORE IT ANYMORE
Time to drop the Judicial Notice hiding the lies.
Time to pay attention to the facts.
While governments lie, people die.
avoidabledeathawareness.com
AND IT ISN'T OVER.
Now TEN OF THOUSANDS are NEEDLESSLY DYING EVERY SINGLE DAY who would not have died, had you ACTED AT THE START.
The evidence is clear the world over.
THERE WERE NO EXCESS DEATHS BEFORE LOCKDOWNS.
ALL-CAUSE MORTALITY WAS FLAT OR TRENDING DOWN WORLDWIDE - UNTIL LOCKDOWN.
EVERY GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO COVID CAUSED KNOWN HARM AT EVERY SINGLE STEP. IT STILL IS.
GOVERNMENTS KNEW FROM THE START.
https://dksdata.com/COVArticles?0
Even those who didn't 'know' initially cannot claim ignorance now. “There's a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice-at which there is simply no way to become that ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.”
In 2020, the elderly died in Care Homes (NG163, Isolation, Ventilators and more...). https://dksdata.com/Care
In 2021, the vaccinated groups died (including infants of vaccinated mothers). https://dksdata.com/ONSDATA
In 2022, vaccinations were pushed through mandates and other coercion, and the deaths expanded to those newly targeted. https://dksdata.com/ExcessDeaths
In 2023, death in every age group accelerates when they should be the lowest on record.
In 2024, the trend of Excess Deaths and Adverse Events continues UNCHECKED.
Life Expectancy is now down WORLDWIDE. https://dksdata.com/COVArticles?9
White Wash and Repeat - The World Over. TIME IS UP - THE EVIDENCE IS EVERYWHERE.

What did you spend your time in this life pursuing, STEMS?
Most people have to drop out of this at some point. Their lives and livelihood, ego and self esteem are too tied up in things that ultimately circle back to the great human cull. They have to take an off ramp to preserve their sense of dignity and self worth. We all write ourselves in as the hero in our own life story. If we have things we are attached to that have built us up, including but not limited to money and status symbols, we don't give those up. This medical freedom movement only goes so far as "this doesn't affect me personally in a negative way."

Last month, I ran a few posts revisiting Geert Vanden Bossche who haz extremely disparate views about “variants.”
Last year I did a few posts on Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and Dr. Mike Yeadon on immunosenescance. And pushing shots into the olds.
I kept saying, shouting into the wind: THEY DON’T AGREE. I DON’T THINK THEY ACTUALLY KNOW.
I’m pondering a post about “Science would be falsified.”
It gets into Not a Virus and the Scientific Method.
The Day Tapes told us that they had already been doing this falsification of science and that it would continue to achieve their One World Government goals and their depopulation goals.
Somewhere in the archive are two posts on the Op of 70-years of a “War on Cancer” now re-branded as a “Cancer Moonshot”.
Richard Day told his audience of physicians that they could cure most cancers right then, but chose not to as population would swell too rapidly if they did so.
And that means that for decades, very smart scientists would go to work and not ask the right questions and not question their root premises.
We’ve had various STEMs in the comments explain how the funding of The Science works. We know that the Mockingbird Media and any funded media will write anything. Make shit up.

I was actually excited about this placement, because I knew that it would allow me a rare opportunity to enter "the belly of the [warmongering] beast" to observe just how this process worked in the trenches. I kept my head down and spent my days typing up test reports from the field that showed that the super duper tank had many a design problem. (The one that I remember all these years later is that, when climbing up steep river embankments, it would often flip over onto its back. Whoops!)
A few days in, when I was having difficulty dragging myself to this hellish job each frigidly cold and snowy early morning, and was literally counting the hours until the end of the week and the assignment, I couldn't keep my mouth shut any longer. Sitting near me was a very nice young guy, obviously on a Westinghouse career track, with whom I had developed a good rapport. At our lunch break that day, I just came out and asked him, in more or less these words: "How do you do this work, day in and day out, knowing you're contributing to the design of a weapon that is destined to inflict so much death and suffering in the world?" His response, basically, was: "I just do my job; I choose to not think about the big picture."
I was so glad when that week ended and I was out of there. But I was also glad to have had the experience, awful as it was. What it showed me was that, in order to bring into being something that never should be, if you atomize the steps of its development, breaking them down into itty bitty pieces, and then parcel out the responsibility for all those little individual steps to hundreds of lovely and "responsible" people, you can basically get them to willingly do your bidding, no matter how horrendous the end result. It was a good lesson to learn young.
People have to choose a path in this life to make a living.
What to do if you skillset is SCIENCE?
And to use your skills you have to make cancer genes and gene editing bioweapons?
You tell yourself stories or you do as the tank builder did: just get through the day.
I watch JJ Couey a lot these days.

Why? Because he is digging to try and question the premises that he spent years adhering to. It’s exciting.
I am digging a lot more into the Baileys.
I never had a problem with Not a Virus, just their religious adherents.
I don’t have a problem with Yes a Virus, and why is this a binary?
I believe I know why.
Do you?
The Science must be controlled as it serves the needs of the powerful.
And since humans are curious critters, there will be Wrong Think.
And the Wrong Think can be cleverly “debunked” by smearing the Wrong Thinker.
Another strategy is to set up a binary choice and the world and its phenomena is too complex for that. (The binary choice, false dichotomy, however you frame it, has melted the brains of the Warehouse of Hammer in ways that I now realize that I cannot undo for many.)
Binary: VIRUS vs. TERRAIN. Pick a side and go to war and as with all things unseen, it shall become religious in nature.
But…
Science is merely a framework to understand phenomena.
It has been thoroughly captured and corrupted and has taken very sharp people into cul-de-sacs and warped their brains.
Even the people who know this cannot help but go on and on and on using bad premises and corrupt information.
Corrupt building blocks.
And I do not think very many scientists even seem that curious.
If one is curious, they embrace I DON’T KNOW.
Because it’s exciting to find out…EXACTLY.
I am no STEM, but I do understand on a basic level that Science should be able to replicate to confirm a conclusion or hypothesis.

War With Iran? I am perplexed with Irans actions.
They start off by taking hostages from our embassy for over a year, an act of war.
We depose their biggest threat in the region by taking out Saddam.
Obama sends them billions of dollars and flies it to them in cash.
Biden does the same thing.
An Iranian surrogate starts attacking ships in international waters, another act of war.
Now they are killing our troops that are not even in their country. Another act of war.
These are just a few thing out of many that have gone on over the years. I hear people say our troops should not be in the Mideast and I agree with that. They do not mention the Russians in Syria and the Iranian proxies scattered all over the Mideast.
Perhaps everybody should stay within their own borders and the world would be a better place to live…and then I woke up. It was a wonderful dream.

Jack Hopkins Now Newsletter # 75 Harnessing Dissatisfaction and Frustration to Fuel Progress
Have you been feeling dissatisfied and frustrated by what’s been happening in the world? Good. Read on, and I’ll explain why that gives me hope.
Human emotions are catalysts for change, and among them, dissatisfaction and frustration often serve as powerful drivers for progress.
The cradle of democracy itself was rocked by these very sentiments, and throughout history, societal transformations have frequently been sparked by collective discontent.
This issue of the Jack Hopkins Now Newsletter delves into why feeling dissatisfied and frustrated is key to human progress and the preservation of democracy.
Dissatisfaction is the realization that the current state of affairs falls short of our expectations or desires. Perhaps you married your high school sweetheart. Five years later, they developed an addiction to prescription painkillers and started acting irrationally...eventually threatening your life.
The growing dissatisfaction with your spouse that developed along the way...was acting on your behalf. To label the dissatisfaction as “bad,” and attempting to squash it...could prove fatal.
Dissatisfaction is an acknowledgment that the world as it is...doesn't match our vision of what it could be.
When individuals feel dissatisfied, they are acknowledging a gap between reality...and potential.
In democratic societies, the mechanisms for expressing dissatisfaction...such as free speech, the press, and the right to assemble—are foundational pillars that empower citizens to seek change.
Frustration goes hand in hand with dissatisfaction. It arises from the thwarting of progress or the lack of success in achieving one's goals.
Frustrations can stem from social inequality, injustice, corruption, or inefficiency.
Yet, while these emotions are often perceived negatively...they are crucial motivators. Without dissatisfaction and frustration...the incentive to improve, innovate, and refine would be diminished...leading to stagnation.
Throughout history, dissatisfaction has led to profound advancements. The widespread frustration of the working classes during the Industrial Revolution...sparked labor reforms and technological innovation that improved productivity and work conditions.
Women's suffrage movements across the globe were fueled by a deep dissatisfaction with gender inequalities, leading to monumental strides in women's rights.
I don’t think I need to tell you what an intense level of dissatisfaction the attack on women’s rights and access to all needed healthcare has created for tens of millions of women in the United States...and...around the world. In my estimation, that will be the issue that thrusts the 2024 election to a big blue win.
Frustration compels individuals to ask difficult questions and to challenge the status quo.
It is a primal voice declaring that "this can be better!"
When harnessed constructively, frustration can translate into activism, research, invention, and entrepreneurship.
From the frustrations of seeing disease claim countless lives came medical breakthroughs. (However, in a future issue we’ll discuss how things went off the tracks, regarding the lives lost...and still being lost...from COVID-19)
From the dissatisfaction with existing technologies emerge the startups and inventions that redefine our tomorrow.
Share Jack Hopkins Now
In the context of democracy, dissatisfaction and frustration are indicators of a healthy, engaged citizenry.
Throughout history, they’ve fostered debate and facilitated the peaceful transition of power. (Again, in a future issue, perhaps...we can discuss what can happen here when an anomaly exists)
Without the freedom to express discontent, democracy loses its most significant feature: reflexivity.
Reflexivity in a democracy is the ability of a political system to adapt to the needs, desires, and aspirations of its constituents. The voices of dissatisfaction, therefore, are essential for democracy to be responsive and for it to thrive.
However, again...it's vital that these emotions be directed towards constructive pathways; otherwise, they may lead to cynicism or destructive outcomes.
Truly democratic institutions should strive to channel the public's dissatisfaction and frustration into reform and progress by providing avenues for peaceful protest, supporting a transparent media, and fostering inclusive governance.
The dissatisfaction and frustration are more than mere emotions—they are the drivers of human determination and will.
They push society to evolve, overcome complacencies, strive for betterment, and reimagine its ideals and practices continuously.
Therefore, these emotions are not just key to progress; they are the safeguard of democratic principles.
By embracing and understanding the transformative power of dissatisfaction and frustration, we protect the future progress of our societies and the essence of democratic life itself.
That’s it for now.

"WHO pandemic treaty: “Torrent of fake news” has put negotiations at risk, says WHO chief"
from the BMJ. Tedros is only speaking about the Treaty and not the IHRs. This is meant to make people think they are not at risk from the IHRs, which are even more dangerous than the Treaty.

Negotiations of an international treaty intended to prepare for and prevent future pandemics are in danger of falling apart as misinformation fuels opposition to the initiative, senior World Health Organization officials said last week.
WHO’s 194 member states agreed in December 2021 to draw up a new international convention to ensure that the world would be prepared for future global health threats and to prevent the “catastrophic failure” seen during the covid pandemic.1
WHO said that negotiations have advanced significantly in the past two years but some of the most crucial and contentious stipulations of the accord are yet to be agreed. Global health experts had hoped that the treaty would be signed off at the 2024 World Health Assembly in late May but this timeline could be unrealistic.
“When covid-19 struck, we acted with urgency. We found new ways of working together. We did this because we had to,” WHO director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told the assembly. “We need that same sense of urgency now.”
WHO has not published a significant update on the negotiations since October 2023 when it published the latest draft.2 The lack of new information shared with the public makes it hard to understand how much negotiations have advanced, which commitments remain in the accord, and whether WHO can push the internationally binding agreement over the line for May.
Global health experts are concerned that stipulations deemed key to preventing future pandemic disasters, such as the obligation to share information in order to detect novel pathogens early on, could be watered down or stripped entirely.
International pharmaceutical companies have been critical of the obligation for countries to waive the exclusive rights to produce jabs so that vaccines can be produced in low and middle income countries more rapidly.3
Nina Schwalbe, [hired to do sophisticated PR for the Treaty and IHR—Nass] public health researcher and founder of the public health think tank Spark Street Advisors, told The BMJ, “There has been no demonstrable progress on any of the problems areas—from access and benefit sharing to equity, intellectual property, and financing. All the matters that have been sticky from the beginning are still sticky and the way forward is unclear. It’s a tough road ahead.”
WHO officials blamed conspiracy theories for mobilising public opposition to the accord and hindering negotiations. Social media is awash with what Tedros described as a “a torrent of fake news, lies, and conspiracy theories.”
Among the false claims are that the pandemic treaty plans to snatch sovereignty from countries by imposing lockdowns or vaccine mandates. “This is fake news, lies, and conspiracy theories. Negotiating members know that the agreement will give WHO no such powers, because you are writing it,” Tedros said.
[But recommendations become orders under the proposed IHR amendments—Nass]
The obstacle lies less with disinformation than with world leaders who have shown a lack of commitment to the accord, including not attending high level discussions on the pact, Schwalbe said. “There is a genuine lack of political will,” she told The BMJ.
Member nations have become too “entrenched” in their positions and their unwillingness to compromise could halt the only chance the world has to forge a new agreement that could prevent another global health disaster. “This is a generational opportunity that we must not miss,” Tedros said. “We must be bold and we must be creative to overcome hurdles, entrenched positions, and old ways of thinking.”

Spider Silk Polymers
Spider Silk Polymers
Last night I spoke with Silk and she was so kind. She basically explained that she understands how my information is being censored everywhere and that she wanted me to have a platform to explain my findings. She specifically wanted to know about the spider silk polymer which I explained its connection with military research and transhumanist agenda.
Thank you Silk for allowing truth to be revealed!
__________________________________________________________________________
In my own contemplation, I find the spiritual symbology about the spider interesting. When they are genetically engineering goats with spider genes - the goat is a satanic symbol of Baphomet and the spider can be a symbol of destruction and the underworld. The spider symbology was connected to black goo and the archons, which in satanism the satanist gives the demons to access to his light body. Harald Kautz Vella, who works as a healer to rescue satanic ritual abuse victims, has spoken of this in his brilliant video on chemtrails and Morgellons.
I have seen tremendous spiritual suffering from the bioweapon shedding and have written about this.

If you do not understand that this is a spiritual war, of course none of this makes sense to you. I am speaking to those with the eyes to see and the ears to hear. Everything is symbolism with the satanic transhumanists. Additionally the chimeric creation of hybrid creatures, including mixing human DNA with animals is part of the defilement of the divine human is such a violation of divine natural law. Nature evolves, it does not de-evolve. A civilization that mixes human DNA with animal DNA is doomed for destruction.
Since I was a little girl, I could see things in the future. I had one recurring dream for decades - which was that at the ocean a tsunami wall of water was approaching coming towards a populated city and beachfront. I was warning people but they were enjoying the beach and the sunshine and could not see the tsunami.
The self assembly nanotechnology and the black satanic awakening and AI Cyborg transformation of society is the tsunami I saw. Millions died every time. This is not to say that natural cataclysms will not happen in the future, they have been seen. But the image of the people who could not hear my screams of warning and could not see the wall of water, that is what in some sense I am living now. These people deny shedding, self spreading nanotechnology, synthetic biology, brain computer interface and a point of no return in our civilization with the merging of humans with AI technology. Nobody who knows anything about spiritual law will mockingly wear the costume of Satan - and Elon Musk is no fool or novice to such subjects. Halloween is the ritual to become that which you choose as your symbol.
I believe that implanting humans with AI technology is a point of no return. The future is watching us now - and what decisions we make determines the continuity or extinction of our species. You cannot control AI, it is autonomous, self learning and destructive without a conscience.

The letter X is the mark of the beast. Twitter changed to X, there is Space X. Disease X. This is not a coincidence but Illuminati symbolism.
Many people still do not understand that those who lie and deceive - for they are cowards who refuse to speak the truth and willfully censor it - are also feeding the beast, the system of enslavement. AI and the technology is just the interface to feed the handlers in a different dimension and for the handlers to control humanity, our life force and our free will.
People ask why would anyone create a targeting and torture program through the intelligence communites and government. Its because the energy of suffering is useful fuel to those in power. They feed off of it.
We now have a mortality rate from the bioweapons of already 17 Million excess deaths. This is almost twice the death count for the second world war.
People do not understand that even WBAN is a satanic symbol. The micro robots feed on our life force - just like the demons feed on our emotional energy. I look at people who with all their vehemence become vindictive, blaming, aggressive, hateful. They don’t even know they are literally lunch for the handlers of the globalists. This is why they want humanity in an emotional frenzy of fear and darkness. In my near death experience, I saw the red dragon, Satan, and how he (and his legions) feed on humanity and are using the technology as the interface. I know what I am fighting because if have seen it.
In the end, nothing matters except this - are you going to survive this genocide? The tsunami of death is happening now. Excess deaths are everywhere. Most people still have their head in the sand while people around them are dying. The spider weaves a cocoon around its victims before they are devoured. People think our enemy is human. They are not. But we are their batteries.
Arm yourself with love, truth, courage. Do not be a deceiver and do not feed the beast. Part of this warfare is rising our vibratory frequency to a level of love and truth. They cannot live there and have no food there. Do what you can to detoxify the nanotechnology and support your body, mind and spirit. Connect with nature. Fight this enslavement. Give it everything you got - we are nearing the high pitch of the battle.
And one more thing: Methylene Blue is an ultraviolet blue dye. The blue frequency realm is above the infrared, which is the frequency band where demons haunt. The light emission spectrum peak of Methylene Blue is 666 nm - which is in the infrared band. It reaches and neutralizes evil things, from the mercy of the healing blue realm.
If you read my book Light Medicine, you will understand. I always use healing methods on every level of existence and I use things for more than one reason.
I just thought you should know that. Here is a quote to explain what I said - the technology can wire “satan” into you, so you become one with the hive mind of evil:

“UK Files” Exclusive, Part 2: The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) Told the IRS It Was A Charity. Documents Say Otherwise
The influential UK-based “anti-disinformation” group, the Center for Countering Digital Hate, told American tax authorities it was a registered charity. Were they telling the truth?
PAUL HOLDEN
JAN 31
∙
OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW: With a little help from friends, Sir Keir Starmer (R) has replaced Jeremy Corbyn (L) as leader of Britain’s Labour Party.
Explosive documents from the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) show that one of the world’s most powerful “anti-disinformation” groups, the Center for Countering Digital Hate Inc. (“CCDH Inc.”), provided incorrect information to the IRS in its application to receive tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status.
The status allows donors to CCDH to treat donations as a write-off and indicates that US authorities have determined the organization is involved in non-profit activities in the public interest. This has never been reported before, and the news should force CCDH to answer tough questions, especially since the group is in the business of accusing others of malfeasance.
Now target of litigation filed by X that accuses it of publishing “bogus” research and scaring advertisers off of its platform due to a zeal for censoring political speech with which it disagrees, the CCDH has become one of the most feared operators in the media space, pressuring companies like Google to demonetize or remove sites like ZeroHedge and The Federalist. In Britain, the leading figures in the CCDH are perhaps best known for a relentless campaign to tie former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to accusations of antisemitism, while worldwide the group gained renown during the pandemic for efforts to remove the so-called “Disinformation Dozen” from Internet platforms, a group that included Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
In reality, the CCDH was and is a pioneering effort in a new form of “non-governmental” pressure group that hides its ties to major-party politics as it pushes for the removal of “hate” speech, often the critics of mainstream politicians.
CCDH Inc.’s IRS misstatements form part of a larger narrative of obscurantism and regulatory mix-ups on the part of a group whose origins are intertwined with Britain’s Labour Party...

Already Broken
“’You see this goblet?’ asks Achaan Chaa, the Thai meditation master. ‘For me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, 'Of course.' When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious.’”
-Mark Epstein, Thoughts Without a Thinker: Psychotherapy from a Buddhist Perspective
My friend, a former heroin junkie turned amateur meditation guru whom I admire a great deal, acquainted me with the above little ditty back in the day.
It immediately spoke to me so deeply, and I recognized it as so profound, that I tattooed a broken wine glass on my left wrist.
The subconscious hope, I believe in retrospection of my decision-making, was that the constant reminder, like a dot on the hand used for lucid dreaming, would serve to root the wisdom into my psyche via osmosis. Then, I’d truly take it to heart instead of merely intellectually understanding it — the shallowest and most fruitless of all understandings, I believe.
Related: Nihilism: A Hell of a Drug
I can’t say the wisdom contained in this short lesson has fully worn off on me and that I’ve applied it to the raging OCD demon inside — the architect of what is seemingly an unbridgeable gap (for me, at least, and I suspect for many Americans raised balls-deep in advertising and cynicism and disbelief) between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
But, someday, I’ll figure out how to make that happen.
The continual cycle of creation into destruction into creation into destruction, of entropy into order and back again, appears to be the natural way of this mad three-dimensional world we inhabit fleetingly.
On considering these forces, I begin to question the merits of conservatism as an ideological commitment — an attempt to hold onto that which is perceived as valuable, either personally or socially or civilizationally.
“When we built these dreams on sand,
How they all slipped through our hands!”
-Rise Against, ‘Rumors Of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated’
Perhaps that which is good and decent and worthwhile, once it is vanquished by the agents of chaos — like the sacking of Rome and all of its civilizational achievements in 410 A.D. by the barbarians — will simply re-emerge like the Phoenix organically in another, unexpected form without any coercion or intervention. Europe was plunged post-Roman Empire into the Dark Ages for many centuries, but the brilliance of the Greek and Roman cultural legacy was ultimately rediscovered and rebirthed through the Renaissance and Enlightenment.
The impulse to manage and control everything — the purview of the World Economic Forum transhumanist technocrat, terrified of death and endowed with god complex — is the product of fear and cowardice, not bravery or righteousness or any nobler emotion.

You Need to Do Better, 2024 One month down, and Current Year stinks already
As we move deeper and deeper into the 21st Century, I just want to move deeper and deeper into a cool, dark cave, far away from everything and everyone. The more I learn about this world, the less I want to know.
Here are a few of the things that are depressing me today.
A 17-year-old boy from California named Alan Winston Filion was just arrested for allegedly running a nationwide swatting operation.
I guess that’s how you get back at the world when the other kids won’t stop calling you Rosie O’Donnell...

Some of My Favorite Substacks 1-31-24
“Don’t forget - no one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories that you have to tell.” Charles De Lint

Why is reading important? According to many studies, regular reading has been shown to increase one’s well-being and expand one’s vocabulary. In older individuals, it has been demonstrated to lessen the brain’s rate of decline and improve one’s emotional IQ by enhancing empathy.
Reading has been my favorite hobby since I was a curious toddler trying to understand words. My mother encouraged our reading habits as I grew up, which I benefitted greatly my whole life.
Touring as a performing artist gave me much free time to explore books from many different countries, giving me a more global perspective of my world. I have a deeper understanding of cultures and much more empathy for individuals. One of the aspects I embrace most about Substack Reads is the access to various writers and their subjects. Here are a few of some of those remarkable Reads I've discovered.
On Friday I will continue with my stunt series part five. See you then!

Digging Around with India Knight At Home in India's garden JO THOMPSON JAN 31
Digging Around is back! In this week’s episode of this occasional series, we’re Digging Around with the author and journalist India Knight, going on a fascinating tour along her gardening story.
India Knight is the author of five novels, the most recent of which, Darling, was shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse prize for comic fiction. She has written seven non-fiction books, most recently India Knight’s Beauty Edit: What Works When You’re Older. Her journalism appears in The Sunday Times. She lives in Suffolk.
You can find HOME by India Knight right here on Substack. It’s one of my favourite go-to reads; you’ll see why as you read on:
India, when did gardening arrive for you?
I’m the product of an entirely urban upbringing. From 1965 to 2015 I lived in cities and ‘the countryside’ was a mystery to me. I didn’t have the kind of childhood that ever involved lolling about under the apple tree, or golden afternoons in cottage gardens with hollyhocks, or the thwack of ball on willow on the village green. I wouldn’t have known what a village green was.
When I was growing up we lived opposite the Heath in Hampstead. I loved the wildness of it and how it made me feel, but it never occurred to me that you could replicate some of that feeling in a domestic garden. My experience of gardens as a child and young woman – this was the 1970s and into the 1980s – were that people had a lawn that they tended to obsessively, and then very neat borders of mysterious flowers, some prettier than others. Sometimes I came across quite grand gardens, and they seemed so formal and stiff – chilly, somehow. I had no interest in any of it.
I do have one very vivid garden memory though – I lived in Brussels as a child and one of my mother’s friends lived in an ultra-modern white house with acres of negative space and sculptural Italian furniture – quite avant-garde at the time – that had this completely wild, huge garden (no lawns!) that looked like she did nothing to it, though in retrospect I bet she did, a bit. But I remember lying on my stomach in the long grass aged maybe 7 or 8 and inspecting various insects feeling pure happiness and a sense of total freedom.
As an adult I lived in London for 45 years. All the outside spaces I had were very small and mostly paved, apart from in a house we lived in in Stoke Newington when I was in my early 30s. But by then I had two small children, so that particular garden – which in hindsight had huge potential - was all about sandpits, toy diggers, a slide, a particularly crap and perilous swing and a Little Tykes Cosy Coupe.
The next garden was a small paved square in Dalston, and by that point I was interested enough to get a gardener in. He made a tiny lawn, planted up the borders with big things like climbers, introduced me to the joy of pots and built a treehouse for the boys. He also put a Japanese maple in a pot, which I still have 27-ish years later (also two Dickinsonia which later grew massive but sadly perished in the Beast from the East). There was a wooden table to sit at, and a bench my mother gave me, and I think that was the point at which I thought ‘this is really nice, sitting here with these beautiful, nice-smelling things around me’.
I knew nothing. I didn’t understand that you couldn’t plant something in October and expect a flower explosion in December – I mean, I was idiotic. I didn’t know that the purpose of a plant is to procreate and that it dies back afterwards. I didn’t know you had to keep picking. Literally – no idea.
But I wouldn’t have known where to start in terms of adding to the garden myself. I was massively intimidated. I’d never grown anything and I was too scared to start – I thought it was a really, really specialised, almost magical skill that you had to really study for years, if not decades. And all the Latin! So off-putting to a novice. Also round about this time, my former husband’s stepmother who worked at Great Dixter took us round it one day. It totally blew my mind – but, again, it was like a magical foreign country. It wouldn’t have occurred to me to come away with ideas I could apply in miniature to my own outside space.
The garden after that was also a small paved square, North-facing, in Primrose Hill. This is when I started planting up my own pots, nervously and with no idea of what I was doing. It was pretty hit and miss, with heavy emphasis on geraniums, because my granny loved them and I’d observed they didn’t seem challenging. Eventually my pots became quite nice and I started growing salad and herbs on my window sill.
Then I moved to Suffolk eight years ago. We were tremendously lucky that the previous owners’ gardener agreed to work for us (seriously, thank God). At first I just left her to it, working her mysterious magic, but after a while I became curious about what she was doing and why. I also have a friend who is a very keen and competent gardener and who very patiently explained everything to me without laughing at my questions. I knew nothing. I didn’t understand that you couldn’t plant something in October and expect a flower explosion in December – I mean, I was idiotic. I didn’t know that the purpose of a plant is to procreate and that it dies back afterwards. I didn’t know you had to keep picking. Literally – no idea. But I became more and more fascinated by plants. If you were drawing a graph, this is the point at which the line very quickly becomes vertical.

Are you an all-weather or fair-weather gardener?
Fair-weather. I am not good at gardening at this time of year – I’d rather be by fire with a book (or a ton of seed catalogues, plotting). I am typing this looking out onto a border and so much needs cutting back – we’ve had a series of sharp frosts – that it looks tragic. I’ll get out there, but probably not today. I deliberately leave grasses and so on alone over winter – I love their shapes even when they’re brown.
Are you a weeder or a let-them be-er?
Vegetable beds and flowerbeds with a house in the background
Photo: India Knight
I’m a Centrist Dad about weeds. I actively like the look of lots of them, especially in large clusters, but there’s a limit. I hate hoeing, though. I wish I found it satisfying, but I don’t. I’m re-doing the veg patch at the moment and it’s going to be membrane, gravel and raised beds this time, purely for reasons of weeds.
What for you is the best part of gardening?
I LOVE seeds:
brightly coloured homegrown flowers in a pretty jug on a table
Photo: India Knight
Seeds absolutely blow my mind – the idea that this tiny little speck of nothing contains all the information it needs to turn itself into something utterly magnificent. So the moment when the teenage seedling finally gets moved outside – well, I feel like there should be trumpet fanfares and flags everywhere. WELL DONE, COSMOS! YOU DID IT!
And a gardening hack or handy hint that you’d like to share?
You can do pretty much everything with a Hori Hori knife. I mean, not plant a tree, obviously, or prune. But pretty much anything else.
Does anything get your gardening goat?
Not really, though I wish municipal planting looked less municipal. And I don’t love things that look overly thought-out – I like looseness.
Bad garden habit?
I am very impatient, though I’m working on it. I do hover over seedlings going ‘Come on, hurry up’. I used to be quite lazy about watering the poor pots during very hot summers, but now I stick on a podcast and spend an hour doing it.
Happiness is….
The month of May. Cow parsley. Hawthorn blossom. Quince blossom!
To mow or not to mow?
I got rid of the main lawn and replaced it with wildflower turf, which I could not recommend more highly:
wildflower meadow with a table and a pretty floral umbrella
Photo: India Knight
We still have one mown lawn, though I have my eye on it. But mown paths, for sure, and strimming around the base of trees, otherwise it just all looks chaotic.
Gloves or no gloves?
No gloves. You should see my nails.
Edibles or pretties - or both?
Very much both:
colourful flowers and vegetables and books on a wooden table
Dahlias and unusually neat vegetables - India Knight
I am a greedy person and nothing – nothing – gives me more pleasure than growing my own veg. We have chickens, and I find it deeply comforting to know that for the majority of the year, come what may, there is always the possibility of salad and a herby omelette (plus veg for inside the omelette). And a jar of garden flowers on the table in the summer. The greens and the eggs and the flowers make me feel perfect happiness.
Proudest moment?
Stopping being scared and getting in there. The worst that can happen is the right plant in the wrong place – hardly a disaster.
Describe your garden in one word:
Exuberant.

If you could be a time traveller, which garden in history would you visit?
The old part of our house was built in 1558 and although the garden would have been farmland, I’d still have loved to see it.
Maybe a better answer is a proper Tudor garden, so let’s say Hampton Court after the garden was created, with sundials sculptures of heraldic beasts and a banqueting hall among the knot gardens.

And finally, India, if you could be a fly on the wall, which gardener/gardening moment would you listen in on?
Rachel Cooke wrote a fantastic book called Her Brilliant Career, about ten women of the 1950s, one of whom was Margery Fish. In 1956 Vita Sackville West reviewed Fish’s book, We Made A Garden, for The Observer. VSW – the most famous gardener in the land – said that it was
“by a woman who, with her husband, created out of nothing the sort of garden we should all like to have: a cottage garden on a slightly larger scale. … Crammed with good advice … I defy any amateur gardener not to find pleasure, encouragement and profit from [it].”
Margery Fish in her garden at East Lambrook
I learned from Rachel’s book that Margery then basically waited for her husband to die, got rid of his wretched lawns and manicured borders, created “a frothing sort of a garden” and launched her career. I’d love to have seen that process.

Thank you to India - a true inspiration who speaks for so many of us when describing the journey from not knowing anything at all about gardening, to becoming a proud gardener of the most beautiful plot.

And SNL wonders why people don't find it funny anymore
Once upon a time, Saturday Night Live was probably the funniest show on television, at least in my opinion. Their brand of comedy seemingly flirted with outraging network censors while simulatenously mocking everyone in American society.
It was a good time, to be sure.
Of course, the cast comes and goes, which means some groups are funnier than others, but over the last handful of years, it just stopped being funny at all. I’m pretty sure those involved in SNL wonder why.
I don’t...

The Aesthetics of a Recapitalized Maritime Industry it can be done
The post-industrial landscape of America is bleak. From the shuttered textile mills of Lewiston, Maine, to the factories of Michigan to the weed strewn railhead next to abandoned small towns throughout the South, the hedge fund driven offshoring of industry is as ugly to look as it was to the standard of living for blue-collar America.
If you live near any major coastal town, you most likely see the waterfront version of the collapse of the civilian and military shipyard industry across our nation - now just holding on in concentrated pockets.
The waterfront facilities left behind by bad national policy of the last half century, in addition to looking more like the set of The Walking Dead than part of a thriving city, also contribute less to the city’s tax base for both property value and the impact of the good paying jobs shipyards bring with them.
A classic example is right next to the Jacksonville Jaguars’ home stadium in downtown Jacksonville, FL on the beautiful St. Johns River.
Just take a look at her today.
What could a revitalized shipbuilding and maintenance budget and an expanded military and civilian renewal of this industry look like, not just for Jacksonville, but port cities across the USA with similar derelict facilities from a more vibrant age?
Well, our friends from Fincantieri are giving us a little hint;
Fincantieri Marine Repair established a presence in Jacksonville in 2022 to perform maintenance and repairs for vessels stationed nearby in Mayport.
The Commodores Point shipyard facility is on the north bank of the St. Johns River between the Mathews and Hart bridges.
Fincantieri, which has taken over the site previously leased by North Florida Shipyards, is making a $30 million improvement to marine infrastructure, including work to accommodate a 500-foot dry dock.
Italy-based Fincantieri Group, an international shipbuilder, operates in the United States through its subsidiary Fincantieri Marine Systems North America.
Fincantieri Marine Repair LLC is a part of that.
Just $30 million out of a $943 million contract did that in the heart of a city, and in a part of that city, that much of the improvements of the last few decades left behind.
As we’ve covered for years here, one of our nation’s greatest military and economic mistakes of the last few decades is undercapitalizing what should be a cornerstone industry for a maritime nation.
What once was, can be again. With modern systems, it can also be cleaner and with automation and robotics, bring better, safer, higher-paying jobs with it.
More, faster.

YOUTUBE Growth Returns, Tops NETFLIX in Q4 Byron Allen makes offer for PARAMOUNT / 'Extraction' director gets new gig / NETFLIX Int'l Films storm back on the chart
Morning! This is Sean McNulty (connect with me on LinkedIn here if ya like), and here’s the Hollywood + Media news to know on WEDNESDAY Jan. 31, 2023.
Where can someone let me know if the sun still exists? The only ☀️ we’ve seen in NYC in like 10 days now is the logo in The Wakeup subject line.
Let’s just say I’m really beginning to understand the appeal of hanging out with Sydney Sweeney & Glen Powell at a warm Australian summer wedding for an hour and a half.

ALSO: Latte Larry’s is coming to life! Yes the storyline from season 10 of HBO’s Curb is coming at ya IRL in the form of two locations in LA this weekend in Culver City and Venice Beach (really they’re just MENOTTI’S Coffee Shop locations). So, enjoy some Hot Cup of Spite and Dry Scones on Larry HBO, while supplies last.
Larry is also doing some “In Conversation” events in D.C. (March 29) and Boston (April 1).
AND: AMAZON MGM’s Anne Hathaway-Nicholas Galitzine pic The Idea of You will close SXSW in mid March.
PLUS: Music rights are the new cable channels - TIKTOK and UNIVERSAL MUSIC are in a standoff over a new rights deal that expires… uh, today. So the world’s largest music catalog may disappear from TT tomorrow - yes, that includes the world’s two biggest artists in Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny.
UMG posted an ‘open letter’ as to the issues here (hint: it’s about money). Yeah have fun with that BYTE DANCE - thinking you’re more CHARTER 2005 than CHARTER 2023 in the leverage analogy here.
A REST IN PEACE: Goes out to Hollywood and Broadway legend Chita Rivera, who died this week at the age of 91.
TODAY IN JOB CUTS:
COMCAST’s SKY is cutting more than1,000 folks in 2024, or about 4% of the U.K. staff, as the company tries to pivot away from a TV dish present into a streaming future. Most cuts are folks who work in the physical dish business.
PAYPAL is cutting about 2,500 jobs, or 9% of its workforce.
The WSJ D.C. bureau and TECH CRUNCH are also making small staff trims.
UPS is cutting about 12,000 positions of its 85,000 management roles, with employees now expected to be back in the office 5 days a week.
UPS expects a savings of about $1 Billion a year… and according to UPS, having to pay employees more due to gains won in their union deal negotiation last year was a factor here, as its hurting profitability. Lower package shipping volume is also playing a role.
BUT: Cost savings from increased AI use was also noted as a factor in needing fewer people. Ahem. 👀
OH: Thanks to reader Elena who sent me this piece about an NYC equivalent of a postnatal retreat for brand new mothers after giving birth… whose cost is about 3X that of the South Korean equivalent I linked to yesterday (roughly $1500 a night).
