And all my readers know what I think the most brilliant (and simple) chess move would be - Show the world the photos of the embalmers' clots!

Showing clot pics is what a logical “normal” person might assume is a straight forward move. Consider the following perspective coming from half the vaxxed population: clots are fake, AI fantasy created by Republicans who are trying to take away vaccines.

So now you’ve shown your ace in the hole too early.

It gets a little harder to call them fake when you show them the work that Tom Haviland and I have done:

Agree Laura. But don’t underestimate the mind-numbing propaganda x 5+ years. Unfortunately the tentacles reach deep into the psyche of those not paying attention.

I say "stir things up" whenever you can; however you can. Stay on the attack; make your opponent play defense and be uncomfortable. Do the things they don't want you to do.

While some politicians want vaccine mandates removed, I can't name any Democrats or Republicans who are trying to ban vaccines, mRNA or otherwise.

The most provable/contrarian viewpoint on the subject:

Vaccines intentionally cause acute and chronic illness, sterility and death. They are the key component of a despicable, globalist led, human depopulation program.

I am inclined to agree, but where/how would you even begin to lead someone who is living in their happy bubble, to a similar conclusion. MSM doesn't lie, journalists are objective and orange man bad. Dot-connecting is in short supply due to hyper-polarizing politics, vax-induced injuries and declining mental capacity.

Showing everyone the pictures of the embalmers' clots might, actually, not make any big difference. We don't know what the response of the public would be if everyone saw these photos and pondered what they'd just seen for a few minutes.

So, I say, let's find out what the response would be. Let's try an approach that hasn't been tried yet.

It may be impossible Hazel but every person who knows the truth about "vaccines" and their real purpose must speak up. No more equivocating. No more half-measures, no more compromises with evil. These products are intentionally harmful/toxic (if it wasn't intentional, the liability shield would have been removed and they would have been banned years ago). No one should take them. Keep repeating it.

Combine,

"Vaccines intentionally cause acute and chronic illness, sterility and death. They are the key component of a despicable, globalist led, human depopulation program",

with,

"Resolved: all vaccines, including so-called mRNA vaccines, should be banned and until they are, all vaccine mandates should be removed."

Straightforward and simple.

You and me, both, Bill!

I respect people who are willing to change their mind on issues, after thoughtful review and consideration.

But this political whiplash (thanks, Bridget), is exhausting . . . .

. . . and, TBH, I always thought this 3-D (sometimes 5-D) chess was probably just an excuse for either lack of transparency, or political shenanigans, or both.

It's a complete crock, a fraudulent excuse for failure to do the morally correct thing.

In UK, the same, we were told it was a nothing burger, how most people wouldn't feel ill, some may stay home, very few hospitalised, of those only a few needing ICU, and the tinest % of those, elderly, co-morbidities, may die. Announced by Chris Witty, now a Sir, our Chief Med Officer. If you haven't read any economics articles I suggest you do. Covid was to avert a financial crisis, that's why every country played along. Depop is part of the solution too, so no-one will speak out.

I think Trump is already letting his queen begin the take down. Would have never been a good idea if he himself came out attacking big pharma/vaccine from the get go.

And then the very next day after meeting with gates and zucker, Trump posts “all vaccines are poison”. Whiplash extraordinaire.

I agree it is exhausting but may be deliberate. Someone who is very well versed in strategy is advising Trump in my opinion. Rather than telling him to get off social media ( which his advisors did in his first presidential term) they are letting him run wild with his contradicting statements. This is confusing the media ( too many talking points and ambiguous statements), wearing down the opposition ( I mean how much of your life can you spend in constant TDS anger?) and providing a distraction while the real work gets done in the background. I don't agree with everything Trump does but if the confusion allows the likes of Kennedy to do their thing then it is serving a useful purpose.

I am also waiting for Trump to put an end to voter fraud. I believe that’s as important as the vaccine deception.

Interesting reading, thanks. FWIW, conventional chess is 2D.

1D chess would be a single, very crowded rank and would be nigh on Impossible to play. The knight's move would fall off the edge, opposing pawns couldn't take each other and the bishop couldn't move either.

Thanks Bill, as usual you’ve provided us with an interesting read with a fair bit of amusement. Anyone who has been in business can relate to the “pain in the ass customer”. And even if you’ve always worked for someone else, if you’re paid on commission, you’ve been in business for yourself.

Retired now but a former business owner, I recall a time when I became a hero amongst my staff for publishing and distributing the “Forbidden Customer” List which I added to whenever it seemed necessary.

I put in writing that any representative of my company who attempted to do business with someone on the list risked termination. And I was serious. It was a sign of respect to my staff that their state of mind was more important to me than just another sale.

In retrospect it was a signal of the achievement of operating a successful business. Kind of like the soup Nazi.

You know Bill - you must know - there is a reason why Russia had decided to build a 2nd pipeline from Siberia into China - it ain't cause they are getting paid more - but rather it is they will have a reliable customer who isn't so fussy - and fussy customers are a pain in the ass Bill and that is why what's her name passed the account onto the "newbie" - that be you Bill - and truly who needs fussy customers all the time trying to demand changes and change the price and this or that - that is why especially after the Nordstream even Russia has decided to send the gas to China - and fuck Europe and the EU - if they don't want it they won't get it I reckon Bill,.

How bout that comeback the Bills pulled off in Game #1 - the Ravens were the better team but the Bills had the higher score at the end. 41-40 - first time that score happened in NFL history!

Go Bills...

🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬

ps - I say the "Ravens" were the better team based on the fact that the Bills scored that one touchdown on 4th down when the ball tipped off the first receiver's hands and then dropped in the lap of Coleman - who just by happenstance was in the place at the time the ball was aloft in the endzone and such Bill - I mean football is a great American game - is it not Bill!

No game ever ended 41-40? That’s amazing. Great analogy on the pipeline.

Sorry for the typos above Bill - and I ought read the rest of this article, but really - nothing is for free - and a fussy customer - who needs em when better customers are out there - and money Bill - really it ain't all it is chalked up to be. I mean it is easily made but if you have to deal with assholes day in and day out - tis hardly worth the hassle.

So I predict the Ravens play the Chiefs in the playoffs and the Chiefs get another Kansas City gift before they arrive in Buffalo - but when they get there the Bills will come due (so to speak) and the Kansas City Chiefs will be dismissed with prejudice Bill.....lets come back here in early 2026 and see if this prediction is accurate - but the Bills do NOT want to play the Ravens again is what I'm thinking.....nobody wants to play against them - they are top of the notch team - but if it comes down to that - odds are the game will be in Buffalo in January - and that will be a game to watch Bill!

I've always stood on the outside of politics and looked in - that is I think anyone who is running for office is lowlife pond scum. Because of this POV I am somewhat objective.

It's easy to get confused because those like Trump are confused themselves - yes there's a bit of political manoeuvring happening but mostly I think it's about what is expedient to achieve the maximal aims of anyone in government - 1. Gain and maintain power. 2. Make money for yourself and those who support you.

So Trump getting chummy with Gates and Bourla is directed at this maxim. Appeasing the base by saying maybe warp-speed wasn't so hot, forwards this end. Appointing Kennedy also moves towards this end. It doesn't matter if it is a contradiction - politicians have no contradictions - they only have a lust for power and money. Period.

You're just thinking about it wrong - injecting a morality or conscience that is not there. Unlike normal people, politicians are not guided by such things - only things that achieve the maxims. That's why it looks so confusing until you reframe. Bill Gates is one of the richest men in the world - of course he sits next to Trump. It would be insane for Trump NOT to have him there!

Think about everything in terms of money and power and it all becomes clear. These people - all of them, are psychopaths. Treat them accordingly.

I feel you...I personally think Trump is compromised (had his hand in the Pfizer cookie jar too), which could explain the back and forth all over the place behavior...with that said, really grateful he appointed RFK, Jr. The left can say, "He is crazy", all they want but planting seeds of truth and doubt could be a formidable path OUT.

We all need to be contemplating remedy but at the same time I think one is advised to contemplate protecting their home place and their homeland first and most importantly - so Trump - tipsy turvy topsy upside down inside out he is - is sort of a "fussy customer" and who the hell needs that the Chinese and Russians and the leadership in India I reckon are thinking - Pakistan as well along with Brazil and South Africa as well even though they all got their own troubles, but given the actions of that forlorn place in the Middle East today (9925) who bombed another sovereign county seems Trump and his cohorts are losing against better ideas - and so who holds the cards is a fair question Dee Dee - I hope RFK, Jr continues efforts to implement balance, but the day is coming when the country in the Middle East thinks they not only run that place but control all of the US Congress needs to get some seriously forceful comeuppance - and odds are that ain't coming from twisty-turvy Trump....but RFK, Jr. might have a bit of his uncle in him one can hope.

I don't hold out much hope for kabuki dc, so do your own due diligence Dee Dee but best to be self-sufficient cause when the truth emerges, then I doubt there will be much value coming out of the land of lies - that be "dc".

Warm Regards,

BK

Follow the money. Drug companies give lots of money to the political parties. If Trump came after the vax makers, that would make them shun the Republican party, costing them precious revenue. This obviously the reason why the RINO's in congress won't support a lot of the MAHA agenda. It would cost them campaign money and money is the most important thing to the RINO swamp monsters

regular chess is just fine, 3D or 5D is just hiding or deliberately confusing what is really going on. Did John find out and did he find a way to deal with the problem?
