On the plus-side of the ledger, "vaccine hesitancy" has never been higher.

I am no longer "vaccine-hesitant."; I am anti-vax until Big Pharma can no longer buy the media and government officials.

Yes! All of this! And also but! They actually probably saved your life. They definitely saved mine. I might have continued to line up line an idiot every year for my flu shot! And if my doctor [that relic from my past, one of which I no longer have] told me about an EXCITING NEW CANCER VACCINE, I would probably have rolled up my sleeve! I would have continued to sleepwalk through life, believing that our elected officials act in our best interests, and that our governmental agencies are dedicated to our health, safety, and wellbeing. How much smarter and better off are we because of their nefarious sloppiness and greed??? Thanks, guys! Keep up the fantastic work. ;)

Your comment jibes with a "silver lining" post I've made several times. At least we now know who the real villains/enemies are. They messed up and showed their real faces. That's valuable intelligence.

I write about this frequently, too. SOME DAY (after a few margaritas and maybe some therapy) I'll share some of the hatemail I got after this "what if COVID was a gift" post I wrote for the FLCCC... but I still believe it and the haters can... well, you know, do something anatomically impossible to themselves. ;)

How in God's name could you get hate mail after writing "what if COVID was a gift?" I mean, yes, lots of shit happened, but it was a blessing.

People are just so weird and negative. It's utterly mind boggling.

You definitely need to share some of that hate mail nonsense. Hopefully, enough time has passed that we all will have a good laugh at the Covidian Insanity!

Oh, I understand it. A great many are no longer with us and had to pass alone due to the response to coved. A great many, including myself, were denied income and hod our livelihoods destroyed. A great many have had once in a lifetime experiences denied them. Would I send hate mail to someone stating the silver lining to this dark cloud? No. Well, depends. If the silver lining was silver in their pocket or the peace and quiet of once bustling commercial districts as if it were a good thing, you betcha! But as a silver lining to see that our government does not have some corrupt individuals in it but are is in fact thoroughly corrupted, nope. However, now that we know trains, what are we going to do about it?

No, but plenty of good people are dead, in the process, or don't even know they will die from the bioweapon poison. I wouldn't wish this upon even my most ardent enemy.

The bioweapon was tested in fake clinical trials. Over 1000 died and many, many more severe adverse events. I should know! I have access to the thousands of Pfizer documents that were FOIA released -DailyClout/WarRoom Team. I've written a few devasting articles based on the Pfizer docs.

Bill, we know a bit more than we previously did, but not nearly enough. There is a lot more evil in charge of the world than you or I or most people know about. What happens to the trillions of $US of dark money that disappears from the budget of the Department of Defense? (The DoD readily admits that it has "lost" untold tens of trilions of dollars.) That money funds torture programs, and other evil programs, which target innocent individuals in countless ways. It is conservatively estimated there are 400,00 targeted individuals in the US and millions worldwide. The real number is almost certainly much higher. I am one of them, and have been for half my entire life (i.e. for thirty-four years.)

These illegal surveillance and torture programs, run by the CIA, FBI, the other intelligence services, in collaboration with state and local entities, and supplemented by mafia-style street gangs and thugs, have been in operation for many decades, and have been metastasizing into vast networks of criminals which very few people know exist. It is neither Republican nor Democratic, nor does it adhere to any other mainstream political identity. The closest political party one could identify it with would be Nazism, due to its total adherence to radical evil, and to brute power unconstrained by legitimate laws of any kind.

Evil describes it well. They killed about 1.6 million extra people in the US from 2020-2022, and millions more worldwide. The official mortality data itself points to a probable democide (mass murder)--and hardly anyone even knows about it due to a media blackout. It didn't even make this long list of wrongs.

As usual communists get a pass. Germany 1933-45 was so much more radically evil and totally adhered to brute power unconstrained by laws of any kind. Far more than soviet russia 1917-1990, Eastern Europe 1945-1990 and china, cuba, North Korea and venezuela today. The holodomor never happened, katyn forest never happened and Vasily Blokhin was actually a nazi.

Do keep in mind that the deep state, cabal, etc have likely planned this out and factored drug resistance into their plans.

New monkey pox notice already issued just after this article. Didn't we already do that fake out?

Expand full comment

Yes but I don't see that going anywhere. It is not lethal enough and doesn't spread fast enough to cancel an election. Now Bird flu on the other hand has great potential for another fake pandemic and they will announce it just in time to move to mail in ballots or computer balloting in the upcoming election in November. I would say sometime in September would be the suitable time to announce the pandemic they have been priming us for for the last year or so. Maybe they will find an excuse to cancel the elections in the US. Maybe a war will erupt simultaneous with a bird flu scamdemic. My guess is if Trump makes it to the election and wins it is game over for the democrats and puts a delay in the Deep State plans. Pray for Trump!

I keep thinking: What if Trump loses and 50+ percent of the public suspects/knows that the election was another fraud. Do we then get serious talk of secession?

I hope we don't get to that point. It is vitally important to ensure an honest election as much as possible. Might be a good Idea if X helps by allowing people to post their votes to an anonymous tallying so that can be compared to the Election tally.

I hope we don't get to that point either, but the Powers that Be are playing with fire IMO. They better be careful what they wish for. If they want more control and power, 25 states bailing on the union isn't the way to get that result.

I used to think there would be a Lexington and Concord event or a Ft Sumter event. I don't think that anymore. I also used to think the most likely model was the Spanish Civil war. Now I think the most likely scenario is a continued slide into the horror that they want. The CBDC, 15 minute cities, freeze in the dark have nothing and be miserable, just like the serfs in history that they intend us to be. Of course there'll be a remnant and minor resistance and some will escape much of the consequences. The cities will be horrorscapes. Eventually in the distant future there will be a peasant rebellion and a collapse. But like the bolshevik revolution and just about every other tyranny, the globohomo NWO will have their time.

Bill, NOT gmail!! Not trying to give you advice BUT I had an IT client who worked as one of the first app developers for Apple (worked for Steven Jobs back in the day) and worked there at the Cupertino HQ for 15 years. He retired from there and started his own Healthcare IT company and then sold it for $$&$$$$$$ as he wanted to focus on writing books. He was the one who told me that he would be an exclusive client of mine ONLY if I got rid of ALL Google-related products as they were all spyware. I then began the laborious process of adding Bitdefender Software, a VPN plus setting up my Mac and iPhone (especially my Mac) to a “Stealth” mode (4 hrs at the Apple genius store but worth it). I was using Facebook at the time and sure enough, logged into my gmail one last time to complete the deactivation process and an alert 🚨 came up which stated that Bitdefender detected from Facebook that my emails were being spied upon. I still have the screenshot. My client was SO right! The tedious part is opting OUT of all of those third-party apps that Google does NOT tell you about. I had to opt out of 45 3rd-party apps which were spying on me. After that, I then took my Mac to the Genius Bar (I had an appt) and told them I needed to extract all Gmail info from my laptop, save it on an external HD (LaCie is a good one), then deactivate all Google products (this included Dropbox). The process took four hours but it was totally worth it. My client was happy and so was I.

That was tough for Tucker, in his position at Fox. And for so many others like you. For my wife and myself, I couldn't count saying no to the jab as all that much of an achievement. For starters, it was a no-brainer, not exactly something to wrestle with. Being 68 and 73, self-employed and semi-retired in flyover country, we felt no external pressure. We're lucky, it was easy for us, for which I'm thankful.

I’m retired but did get external pushback from friends and a relative. Somehow I resisted and took the flack—being accused of attempted murder in one case. I have to say it was the most stressful time of my life (I’m 76 now) but every insult just made me stronger. I decided If they locked me in my house I would still seek joy and peace. This one decision has changed my life in so many ways and probably saved it. I give God the credit.

I believe these outstanding physicians lost their board certification for internal medicine. One can still get a medical license without being board certified. However, insurance companies often require physicians to be board certified in order to participate in their plans. The irony is that board certification is supposed to be a threshold for measuring quality. With this decision, it identifies the physician followers of consensus - the exact opposite of critical thinking. It tells you all that you need to know about institutional medicine's decline and capture by big pharma interests.

Yep. This tells us everything we need to know about our "Conform-or-Else" society.

Greetings Bill. You wrote an article about my Son Derek McIntosh who died from the Covid Vaccine in 2022. My Wife, Dereks Mother developed Bladder Cancer shortly afterwards. I am writing from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Mn where she just had her bladder removed. Please keep up the great work spreading the word on these Vaccines. I wish we had known. Regret of our lives

Expand full comment

Hi Jeff, this may not pertain to your wife’s cancer but when my elder brother was diagnosed with bladder cancer I looked it up in my book ‘New German Medicine’ a theory of cancer developed by the late Dr. Geerd Hamer. The emotional trigger for bladder cancer: ‘house, inheritance’, which nailed it. Two years earlier, our mom passed away leaving us a 120 year old villa. My elder brother lived in a separate apartment on the same property. He and our younger brother tried to rent out rooms to an IT company and had already started with construction to accommodate their needs. Walls were torn down, etc. then the IT company walked away from the deal. My brothers couldn’t find another interested party and the house still looked like a construction zone. My brother didn’t want to sell the property he said: “I will never have it as nice as I have it now, I rather die!” He also had since childhood recurring nightmares where burglars would try to break into the house or he saw the house in flames in another dream. He had a neo-bladder operation which he didn’t survive.

Then my ex, still good friends with her, developed breast cancer after the shot. She underwent surgery, radiation and chemo. Since I have read about ‘The Trophoblastic Theory of Cancer’ by Dr. John Beard, published 100 years ago, I got her Wobenzym-N, which has the enzyme Chymotrypsin in it. It supposed to stop and digest cancer. When her blood work showed elevated protein levels, I asked how many tablets she was taking and it were 1-2 per day. After she raised it to six per day, another blood test came back negative! I hope it stays that way.

Thank you for this.

I’m currently being evaluated for possible breast cancer. I’m pursuing (so far) some functional medicine alternatives. SO FAR, SO GOOD!

The real question is, why do so many people continue to trust these sources of authority?

Case in point: prestige news outlets like the NYT have a long track record of deceit yet millions of people apparently still trust the Times and other organizations like CNN.

Hannah Arendt said totalitarian societies seek to negate the very idea of truth, the better to manipulate the disoriented people trapped in such mazes.

The Times and other outlets, then, are really state propaganda mills. Their whole purpose is to keep people confused, afraid and easy to manipulate.

How else can one explain the apparent success of Kamala Harris, who only weeks earlier was openly dismissed as an embarrassment, which she is.

Some more key things....

- They sent infected nursing home residents back into their nursing home instead of into a quarantine facility like other countries did.

- They prevented many doctors from treating infected patients with the standard of care treatments for pneumonia (antibiotics and steroids) by advising them not to provide these treatments.

Both of these things resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans. We know this because 1) we know the virus was circulating throughout the US as late as mid-February (hot spot in Louisiana due to Mardi Gras). 2) people didn't start dying in massive numbers until the last week in March which was immediately after the 'lockdown' policies were enacted across our health care systems.

THEY KNEW EARLY from the 2 cruise ships AND the surge of cases in Italy that the disease was mild for younger, healthy individuals. This was before the US had any data of our own, but our data in the US confirmed the disparity in disease severity by age and yet they never changed course - general lockdowns for all ages.

The other thing they should have known is that Vit D is KNOWN to help improve immune systems. If they didn't know before the pandemic, they could have looked at data to see most of the dying patients had extremely low levels of Vit D. We should have all been advised to supplement Vit D or get regular doses from being in the sun. How many lives would have been spared by advising all Americans to 1) get 8 hrs sleep at night 2) avoid stress 3) healthy diet and exercise 4) take Vit D supplements

If all of this weren't bad enough, the CDC placed an unconstitutional moratorium on evictions. Many landlords were forced to sell, and large firms gobbled them up helping create housing inflation.

Ok, this is completely unrelated but extremely annoying. Bill, could you spread the word that AL State law does NOT require drivers to stop for a school bus which is stopped on the OTHER SIDE of a 4 lane divided highway? Thank you.

Great additions, Lisa. I really like your second bullet point about how "they" changed the normal medical protocols and, for example, started withholding antibiotics. There's no telling how many people these changes in treatment protocols ended up killing - a large number.

IMO, "early spread" didn't start in February 2020. Per my exhaustive research and personal opinion, it started in November 2019 if not earlier. And, yes, all public health officials SHOULD have known this. They probably do know this and covered it up ... because this would prove the virus was not "deadly."

... I didn't know that about the school busses. I'm glad you posted it in the Reader Comments. You might expound on this and why it's important to known in future posts.

we know the virus was circulating throughout the US as late as mid-February

----------

Bloodwork from donations shows nearly 2% of people in the NW having covid antibodies IN DECEMBER 2019! Four months before we did anything at all to 'slow the spread'. Winter months full of holiday travel and going to bars and churches and basketball games.

We didn't even notice the bug until Inslee threw covid patients into nursing homes.

NC has the same school bus law. I believe it's because all students assigned to such a bus stop reside on the same side of the divided highway as the bus stop. The opposite side of such a divided highway will have a separate bus stop for students residing on that side.

I’m in NC. Where is that?

The entire state of NC. On a highway divided by a median, only traffic following the bus must stop. Same for a 4-Lane highway with a center turn lane in the middle. https://www.ncbussafety.org/schoolbussafety/sbswlaw.html

"as late as mid-February"? Seems to have "circulated" another month beyond. And here I thought the Sundance Film Festival had something to do with it; hadn't considered Mardi Gras! (Did many of the same people attend both?)

Did taking "mega" vitamin D (say, 50,000 IU) after onset of symptoms help any?

They potentially changed the DNA of billions of people on the planet.
