Manchester, N.H.
We have heard President Biden express his outrage, along with VP Kamala Harris and the Director of Homeland Security regarding our horse-mounted Border Patrol agents down in Texas.
President Biden has made the threat that these agents will be dealt with and he also pushed the lie that the agent(s) whipped the illegal’s trying to enter our Nation.
Oddly enough, when President Biden authorized the drone strike on a car with 7 children and 3 adults in it that was delivering water in Kabul that type of action is acceptable to President Biden.
Semper Fi,

The post Quick Thought – President Biden’s Outrage appeared first on Granite Grok.
The NH Journal recently reported on a flap between NH House Finance Chair Representative Ken Wyler and NH Health Commissioner Lori Shibinette at a Fiscal Committee meeting.
The feud started when Shibinette stated, “90 percent of people hospitalized for COVID-19 are unvaccinated.” Weyler responded he views Health and Human Services Covid statistics to be unreliable, including the 90% figure. Who’s right? Below are facts to consider.
At the meeting, Weyler stated, “people I’m hearing from, working in emergency rooms, are saying 90 percent of those admitted have had the shot.”
90% may indeed “have had the shot” (one Pfizer or one Moderna injection) – but that does not mean they are “fully vaccinated.”

The Commissioner perhaps interpreted the term “shot” to mean “fully vaccinated.” Per the CDC’s definition, vaccinated adults are only those people who have received the single Johnson & Johnson vaccine, or, both of the Pfizer (or Moderna) vaccines – and had their shot sequence greater than 14 days ago. Anyone who had only had one of the Moderna or Pfizer “shots” (or completed both less than 14 days ago) is not categorized as fully vaccinated.
Weyler said he understood that “90 percent of people coming in [to emergency rooms] have had the shot” while Shibinette referenced “hospitalized” in her 90 percent comment.
Weyler and Shibinette were referencing different events.
“Hospitalized” means admitted to the hospital. Since only 12.4% of ER visits become admissions to the hospital, that means most are not admitted, are discharged, and often referred to their physician for further treatment.
And importantly, in May 2021 the CDC stopped monitoring and recording breakthrough infections of vaccinated people unless they were “hospitalized” (or died).
The ER nurse mentioned by Representative Weyler may be correct that high numbers of “vaccinated” patients are coming to the ER (and they may have been tested for Covid19 while there). But unless they were hospitalized (admitted) they are not being counted in government statistics. Even if they were admitted for hospitalization with their shot sequence completed — if their admission date was less than 14 days since shot completion – they are not identified as fully vaccinated, according to the CDC.
The NH Journal piece asserts Representative Weyler “also repeated unverified claims about the impact of the COVID vaccine on fertility.” This is false and libelous. The British Medical Journal reported in September 2021 for example that changes in menstrual cycles can occur in female patients receiving Covid-19 vaccines.
State and Federal HHS officials and Commissioner Shibinette need to address the following broader concerns about data-collection methodologies before Chairman Weyler and many other Granite Staters will be satisfied Covid statistics breathlessly reported are trustworthy – and a solid basis for launching liberty-crushing mandates.
The first concern: the test kits.
Millions of Covid test kits have been routinely used to collect “data” on Covid-19 infection rates and justify command-and-control measures.
These Covid test kits in fact have only had Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for months now.
In other words, the test kits themselves have been “experimental.”
The positive predictive value or PPV of Covid test kits (meaning their diagnostic reliability) has been found “alarmingly low” in studies published in the medical journal Deutsches Ärzteblatt: “The positive predictive value is calculated as a quotient of the number of correctly positive tested (21) and the sum of all persons with a positive test result (21 + 49 = 70). It is alarmingly low at 0.30 – 70% of people who test positive are not positive at all, but they are prescribed quarantine [i.e. shutdown businesses and home confinement].”
Amazingly, the instruction manuals for the test kits authorized under EUA state the kits are not intended for making diagnoses! Altona Diagnostics’ PCR manual (“Instructions for Use RealStar® SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Kit 1.0”) for example warns in bold type on page 5,
“For research use only (RUO)! Not for use in diagnostic procedures.”
To compound matters, the FDA has acknowledged that – when accurate and positive Covid-19 test results are obtained – the results do not ensure the patient is in fact suffering from Covid.
The FDA states, “Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease.”
In light of these advisories, Shibinette’s claim “90 percent of people hospitalized for Covid-19 (emphasis added) are unvaccinated” certainly needs more discussion – and perhaps an audit.
What does our Health Commissioner mean by the phrase, “for Covid”? How many of people are being hospitalized “due to Covid” (with verified Covid symptoms) – and how many were admitted for an unrelated disease condition yet “with Covid” – a positive test?
One fact we do know – hospitals receive 20% more in Federal reimbursements for treating uninsured patients when “Covid-19” appears in the paperwork.
Many NH citizens sense that these mRNA therapies are being prematurely rushed out, with hasty FDA approvals. The concerns are not unreasonable.
When the FDA gave full approval to Pfizer’s vaccine in August it admitted in its press release that “information is not yet available about potential long-term health outcomes.”
The truth is that no traditional long-term trial studies of the mRNA therapies and their potential side effects have been completed. “Normally, vaccine development is a long, complex process, often lasting 10-15 years and involving a combination of public and private involvement.”
The New England Journal of Medicine states “most vaccine clinical trials include substantially longer follow-up of trial participants to track both safety and efficacy. For example, for shingles vaccines, participants in Shingrix clinical trials were followed for a median of 3.1 years in one study and 3.9 years in another.”
Last, the exact calendar date on which one becomes “fully vaccinated” is still ambiguous. This is the CDC’s fault, and could harm the accuracy of short and long-term data collections for possible side effects.
As we noted, “fully vaccinated” individuals according to the CDC are those who received the J & J vaccine or two Moderna or Pfizer vaccines and did so 14 (or more) days ago.
The “14-day” stipulation means hospital admissions of those potentially experiencing adverse reactions to mRNA shots less than 14 days since receiving them are not identified as “fully vaccinated” patients.
However, adverse reactions have been reported within a week of the shots (blood clots for example were observed within a “median interval” of 8 days following injections – between 6 and 15 days).
Since a “fully vaccinated” status is not attained until 14 days after having completed the shot sequence, immediate symptoms, by definition, cannot be associated with being “fully vaccinated.”
Make sense? No.
Contrast the “14-day” definition with a different one the CDC also suggests in its instructions for Adverse Event Reporting to VAERS. Here, the CDC indicates that the “Date of Vaccination” to be included in the “incident” report. If blood clots, heart issues, and other symptoms emerge after a few days of injection – do admitting hospitals use the definition of “vaccinated” patient to mean the date of vaccination – or “14 days” after that date?
The NH Journal couldn’t resist unnecessary piling on when it wrote, “Weyler reflects a broader problem facing the New Hampshire GOP.” No, actually it is NH’s HHS and Federal agencies that are having problems.
We’ve only seen 6 months of ‘long’ term vaccine data. The long-term risks to mRNA therapies are unknown.
Public officials who like to repeat, “The vaccines are safer than getting Covid!” have no basis for such claims until full trial studies free of corporate influence have been completed.
Just ask Thalidomide victims.

Two weeks to flatten the curve was based on a lie, but then the lie was revealed the pandemic politics could not let go. The result was public health policy that was remarkably bad for public health. COVID only put millions at risk from missed treatments or visits that would uncover health issues, and that political piper has come calling.
The UK reports 9,616 excess deaths over the summer months, none of them from COVID.
Data from Public Health England (PHE) shows that during that period there were 2,103 extra death registrations with ischemic heart disease, 1,552 with heart failure, as well as an extra 760 deaths with cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke and aneurysm and 3,915 with other circulatory diseases.
Acute and chronic respiratory infections were also up with 3,416 more mentions on death certificates than expected since the start of July, while there have been 1,234 extra urinary system disease deaths, 324 with cirrhosis and liver disease and 1,905 with diabetes.
Months of COVID-only treatment priority have had the expected result. Well, expected by those of us who’ve been reporting the likelihood for close to a year.
Since the start of the pandemic, charities and health bodies have warned that people were struggling to access care as the NHS switched to fighting the pandemic.
Now, 18 months of delayed treatments may be starting to take their toll.
For all its flaws, the NHS in England keeps up with the reporting, whereas I expect we’ll never know much about excess deaths in New Hampshire or the US. Not like COVID.
One person dies linked even remotely to COVID19 and its front-page news followed by the cases and hospitalizations. But never in the appropriate context. The result has been thousands locally who had to skip wellness or annual exams or are reluctant to even see a medical professional for fear of being arranged about getting vaccinated.
The result will be mortality figures that should easily eclipse even COVID’s fake numbers.
None of which will likely impact the March of the Covidiots and their one pathogen public health obsession, to the detriment of public health.

ALERT to all Amherst patriots: I’ve been alerted that TONIGHT the Amherst Board of Selectmen will be considering, among other things, recommendations of the town “COVID-19 Taskforce” to institute “CDC recommended” mandatory mask mandates on all employees and visitors to town buildings.
– including discriminatory treatment to unvaccinated citizens, who would be required to mask under any circumstance.
See Amherst BOS agenda beginning at page 119.
In addition, they are considering ONCE AGAIN canceling Halloween (see page 123 of the agenda) because CDC recommendations demand 6ft of distance OUTSIDE.
And they are “requesting” vaccine cards from all town employees.
Of course, every bit of this is predicated on these anti-science, politically motivated CDC “recommendations.” This is not science –– this is just blindly following “the authority.”
Would you please come out and OPPOSE these measures tonight?
Event details:
What: Amherst Board of Selectmen meeting
When: Monday, Sept 27 @ 6:30pm
Where: Amherst Townhall
Also, make sure to email the Board of Selectmen to register your opposition to their plans: bos@amherstnh.gov.

An update from 9-17-2021, shows COVID19 vaccine-related deaths reported to the VAERS system at 15,386. Additionally, we find over 66,000 hospitalizations and 20,789 who have been permanently disabled.
*These are, of course, undercounted. We know from our previous reports that the “VAERS reporting process” takes up to 30 minutes per incident. Doctors were not reporting them all before health systems started firing nurses and staff, so even fewer of these are likely being completed and submitted as required by the FDA and CDC.
The undercounting can only get worse, not that these numbers are not shocking enough.
Here’s the latest update, dated 9-17-21.
VAERS COVID19 Vaccine Adverse Reaction 9-17-2021
On the flip side, we have the COVID Summary data provided to us here in New Hampshire data updated 9/27/2021. The threat of COVID continues to be a fraction of a percent for most while the rhetoric and policy continue to heat up with many demanding political intrusions that accomplish nothing.
Here is our reality check updated with the 9/27 data provided by the State.

If no one is doing this in your state or city (if you have data for a local area or municipality), I suggest you attempt to take that on yourself ad share it.
The facts from your government will probably contradict the policy prescriptions being proposed or mandated. Almost no one needs a vaccine for this, especially with several non-invasive treatments available for people who test positive and present symptoms.
One more point. There has been no unusual excess mortality in the US as a result of COVID19. The current rate is very similar to that in 2004 and lower than all years before that. Not the direction we’d want to go, but it’s not outrageous when the majority of those deaths are people near, at, or above the end of the average lifespan.
The losses are no less tragic but not indicative of the need to force people to take a questionable treatment that harms tens of thousands and kills nearly as many.

Hello,
My name is Spartacus, and I’ve had enough.
We have been forced to watch America and the Free World spin into inexorable decline due to a biowarfare attack.
We, along with countless others, have been victimized and gaslit by propaganda and psychological warfare operations being conducted by an unelected, unaccountable Elite against the American people and our allies.
Our mental and physical health have suffered immensely over the course of the past year and a half. We have felt the sting of isolation, lockdown, masking, quarantines, and other completely nonsensical acts of healthcare theater that have done absolutely nothing to protect the health or wellbeing of the public from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Now, we are watching the medical establishment inject literal poison into millions of our fellow Americans without so much as a fight.
We have been told that we will be fired and denied our livelihoods if we refuse to vaccinate. This was the last straw.
We have spent thousands of hours analyzing leaked footage from Wuhan, scientific papers from primary sources, as well as the paper trails left by the medical establishment.
What we have discovered would shock anyone to their core.
First, we will summarize our findings, and then, we will explain them in detail. References will be placed at the end.
Summary:COVID-19 is not a viral pneumonia. It is a viral vascular endotheliitis and attacks the lining of blood vessels, particularly the small pulmonary alveolar capillaries, leading to endothelial cell activation and sloughing, coagulopathy, sepsis, pulmonary edema, and ARDS-like symptoms. This is a disease of the blood and blood vessels. The circulatory system. Any pneumonia that it causes is secondary to that.
In severe cases, this leads to sepsis, blood clots, and multiple organ failure, including hypoxic and inflammatory damage to various vital organs, such as the brain, heart, liver, pancreas, kidneys, and intestines.
Some of the most common laboratory findings in COVID-19 are elevated D-dimer, elevated prothrombin time, elevated C-reactive protein, neutrophilia, lymphopenia, hypocalcemia, and hyperferritinemia, essentially matching a profile of coagulopathy and immune system hyperactivation/immune cell exhaustion.
COVID-19 can present as almost anything, due to the wide tropism of SARS-CoV-2 for various tissues in the body’s vital organs. While its most common initial presentation is respiratory illness and flu-like symptoms, it can present as brain inflammation, gastrointestinal disease, or even heart attack or pulmonary embolism.
COVID-19 is more severe in those with specific comorbidities, such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. This is because these conditions involve endothelial dysfunction, which renders the circulatory system more susceptible to infection and injury by this particular virus.
The vast majority of COVID-19 cases are mild and do not cause significant disease. In known cases, there is something known as the 80/20 rule, where 80% of cases are mild and 20% are severe or critical. However, this ratio is only correct for known cases, not all infections. The number of actual infections is much, much higher. Consequently, the mortality and morbidity rate is lower. However, COVID-19 spreads very quickly, meaning that there are a significant number of severely-ill and critically-ill patients appearing in a short time frame.
In those who have critical COVID-19-induced sepsis, hypoxia, coagulopathy, and ARDS, the most common treatments are intubation, injected corticosteroids, and blood thinners. This is not the correct treatment for COVID-19. In severe hypoxia, cellular metabolic shifts cause ATP to break down into hypoxanthine, which, upon the reintroduction of oxygen, causes xanthine oxidase to produce tons of highly damaging radicals that attack tissue. This is called ischemia-reperfusion injury, and it’s why the majority of people who go on a ventilator are dying. In the mitochondria, succinate buildup due to sepsis does the same exact thing; when oxygen is reintroduced, it makes superoxide radicals. Make no mistake, intubation will kill people who have COVID-19.
The end-stage of COVID-19 is severe lipid peroxidation, where fats in the body start to “rust” due to damage by oxidative stress. This drives autoimmunity. Oxidized lipids appear as foreign objects to the immune system, which recognizes and forms antibodies against OSEs, or oxidation-specific epitopes. Also, oxidized lipids feed directly into pattern recognition receptors, triggering even more inflammation and summoning even more cells of the innate immune system that release even more destructive enzymes. This is similar to the pathophysiology of Lupus.
COVID-19’s pathology is dominated by extreme oxidative stress and neutrophil respiratory burst, to the point where hemoglobin becomes incapable of carrying oxygen due to heme iron being stripped out of heme by hypochlorous acid. No amount of supplemental oxygen can oxygenate blood that chemically refuses to bind O2.
The breakdown of the pathology is as follows:
SARS-CoV-2 Spike binds to ACE2. Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 is an enzyme that is part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, or RAAS. The RAAS is a hormone control system that moderates fluid volume in the body and in the bloodstream (i.e. osmolarity) by controlling salt retention and excretion. This protein, ACE2, is ubiquitous in every part of the body that interfaces with the circulatory system, particularly in vascular endothelial cells and pericytes, brain astrocytes, renal tubules and podocytes, pancreatic islet cells, bile duct and intestinal epithelial cells, and the seminiferous ducts of the testis, all of which SARS-CoV-2 can infect, not just the lungs.
SARS-CoV-2 infects a cell as follows: SARS-CoV-2 Spike undergoes a conformational change where the S1 trimers flip up and extend, locking onto ACE2 bound to the surface of a cell. TMPRSS2, or transmembrane protease serine 2, comes along and cuts off the heads of the Spike, exposing the S2 stalk-shaped subunit inside. The remainder of the Spike undergoes a conformational change that causes it to unfold like an extension ladder, embedding itself in the cell membrane. Then, it folds back upon itself, pulling the viral membrane and the cell membrane together. The two membranes fuse, with the virus’s proteins migrating out onto the surface of the cell. The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid enters the cell, disgorging its genetic material and beginning the viral replication process, hijacking the cell’s own structures to produce more virus.
SARS-CoV-2 Spike proteins embedded in a cell can actually cause human cells to fuse together, forming syncytia/MGCs (multinuclear giant cells). They also have other pathogenic, harmful effects. SARS-CoV- 2’s viroporins, such as its Envelope protein, act as calcium ion channels, introducing calcium into infected cells. The virus suppresses the natural interferon response, resulting in delayed inflammation. SARS-CoV-2 N protein can also directly activate the NLRP3 inflammasome. Also, it suppresses the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway. The suppression of ACE2 by binding with Spike causes a buildup of bradykinin that would otherwise be broken down by ACE2.
This constant calcium influx into the cells results in (or is accompanied by) noticeable hypocalcemia, or low blood calcium, especially in people with Vitamin D deficiencies and pre-existing endothelial dysfunction. Bradykinin upregulates cAMP, cGMP, COX, and Phospholipase C activity. This results in prostaglandin release and vastly increased intracellular calcium signaling, which promotes highly aggressive ROS release and ATP depletion. NADPH oxidase releases superoxide into the extracellular space. Superoxide radicals react with nitric oxide to form peroxynitrite. Peroxynitrite reacts with the tetrahydrobiopterin cofactor needed by endothelial nitric oxide synthase, destroying it and “uncoupling” the enzymes, causing nitric oxide synthase to synthesize more superoxide instead. This proceeds in a positive feedback loop until nitric oxide bioavailability in the circulatory system is depleted.
Dissolved nitric oxide gas produced constantly by eNOS serves many important functions, but it is also antiviral against SARS-like coronaviruses, preventing the palmitoylation of the viral Spike protein and making it harder for it to bind to host receptors. The loss of NO allows the virus to begin replicating with impunity in the body. Those with endothelial dysfunction (i.e. hypertension, diabetes, obesity, old age, African-American race) have redox equilibrium issues to begin with, giving the virus an advantage.
Due to the extreme cytokine release triggered by these processes, the body summons a great deal of neutrophils and monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages to the lungs. Cells of the innate immune system are the first-line defenders against pathogens. They work by engulfing invaders and trying to attack them with enzymes that produce powerful oxidants, like SOD and MPO. Superoxide dismutase takes superoxide and makes hydrogen peroxide, and myeloperoxidase takes hydrogen peroxide and chlorine ions and makes hypochlorous acid, which is many, many times more reactive than sodium hypochlorite bleach.
Neutrophils have a nasty trick. They can also eject these enzymes into the extracellular space, where they will continuously spit out peroxide and bleach into the bloodstream. This is called neutrophil extracellular trap formation, or, when it becomes pathogenic and counterproductive, NETosis. In severe and critical COVID-19, there is actually rather severe NETosis.
Hypochlorous acid building up in the bloodstream begins to bleach the iron out of heme and compete for O2 binding sites. Red blood cells lose the ability to transport oxygen, causing the sufferer to turn blue in the face. Unliganded iron, hydrogen peroxide, and superoxide in the bloodstream undergo the Haber- Weiss and Fenton reactions, producing extremely reactive hydroxyl radicals that violently strip electrons from surrounding fats and DNA, oxidizing them severely.
This condition is not unknown to medical science. The actual name for all of this is acute sepsis.
We know this is happening in COVID-19 because people who have died of the disease have noticeable ferroptosis signatures in their tissues, as well as various other oxidative stress markers such as nitrotyrosine, 4-HNE, and malondialdehyde.
When you intubate someone with this condition, you are setting off a free radical bomb by supplying the cells with O2. It’s a catch-22, because we need oxygen to make Adenosine Triphosphate (that is, to live), but O2 is also the precursor of all these damaging radicals that lead to lipid peroxidation.
The correct treatment for severe COVID-19 related sepsis is non-invasive ventilation, steroids, and antioxidant infusions. Most of the drugs repurposed for COVID-19 that show any benefit whatsoever in rescuing critically-ill COVID-19 patients are antioxidants. N-acetylcysteine, melatonin, fluvoxamine, budesonide, famotidine, cimetidine, and ranitidine are all antioxidants. Indomethacin prevents iron- driven oxidation of arachidonic acid to isoprostanes. There are powerful antioxidants such as apocynin that have not even been tested on COVID-19 patients yet which could defang neutrophils, prevent lipid peroxidation, restore endothelial health, and restore oxygenation to the tissues.
Scientists who know anything about pulmonary neutrophilia, ARDS, and redox biology have known or surmised much of this since March 2020. In April 2020, Swiss scientists confirmed that COVID-19 was a vascular endotheliitis. By late 2020, experts had already concluded that COVID-19 causes a form of viral sepsis. They also know that sepsis can be effectively treated with antioxidants. None of this information is particularly new, and yet, for the most part, it has not been acted upon. Doctors continue to use damaging intubation techniques with high PEEP settings despite high lung compliance and poor oxygenation, killing an untold number of critically ill patients with medical malpractice.
Because of the way they are constructed, Randomized Control Trials will never show any benefit for any antiviral against COVID-19. Not Remdesivir, not Kaletra, not HCQ, and not Ivermectin. The reason for this is simple; for the patients that they have recruited for these studies, such as Oxford’s ludicrous RECOVERY study, the intervention is too late to have any positive effect.
The clinical course of COVID-19 is such that by the time most people seek medical attention for hypoxia, their viral load has already tapered off to almost nothing. If someone is about 10 days post-exposure and has already been symptomatic for five days, there is hardly any virus left in their bodies, only cellular damage and derangement that has initiated a hyperinflammatory response. It is from this group that the clinical trials for antivirals have recruited, pretty much exclusively.
In these trials, they give antivirals to severely ill patients who have no virus in their bodies, only a delayed hyperinflammatory response, and then absurdly claim that antivirals have no utility in treating or preventing COVID-19. These clinical trials do not recruit people who are pre-symptomatic. They do not test pre-exposure or post-exposure prophylaxis.
This is like using a defibrillator to shock only flatline, and then absurdly claiming that defibrillators have no medical utility whatsoever when the patients refuse to rise from the dead. The intervention is too late. These trials for antivirals show systematic, egregious selection bias. They are providing a treatment that is futile to the specific cohort they are enrolling.
India went against the instructions of the WHO and mandated the prophylactic usage of Ivermectin. They have almost completely eradicated COVID-19. The Indian Bar Association of Mumbai has brought criminal charges against WHO Chief Scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan for recommending against the use of Ivermectin.
Ivermectin is not “horse dewormer”. Yes, it is sold in veterinary paste form as a dewormer for animals. It has also been available in pill form for humans for decades, as an antiparasitic drug.
The media have disingenuously claimed that because Ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug, it has no utility as an antivirus. This is incorrect. Ivermectin has utility as an antiviral. It blocks importin, preventing nuclear import, effectively inhibiting viral access to cell nuclei. Many drugs currently on the market have multiple modes of action. Ivermectin is one such drug. It is both antiparasitic and antiviral.
In Bangladesh, Ivermectin costs $1.80 for an entire 5-day course. Remdesivir, which is toxic to the liver, costs $3,120 for a 5-day course of the drug. Billions of dollars of utterly useless Remdesivir were sold to our governments on the taxpayer’s dime, and it ended up being totally useless for treating hyperinflammatory COVID-19. The media has hardly even covered this at all.
The opposition to the use of generic Ivermectin is not based in science. It is purely financially and politically-motivated. An effective non-vaccine intervention would jeopardize the rushed FDA approval of patented vaccines and medicines for which the pharmaceutical industry stands to rake in billions upon billions of dollars in sales on an ongoing basis.
The majority of the public are scientifically illiterate and cannot grasp what any of this even means, thanks to a pathetic educational system that has miseducated them. You would be lucky to find 1 in 100 people who have even the faintest clue what any of this actually means.
COVID-19 Transmission:COVID-19 is airborne. The WHO carried water for China by claiming that the virus was only droplet- borne. Our own CDC absurdly claimed that it was mostly transmitted by fomite-to-face contact, which, given its rapid spread from Wuhan to the rest of the world, would have been physically impossible.
The ridiculous belief in fomite-to-face being a primary mode of transmission led to the use of surface disinfection protocols that wasted time, energy, productivity, and disinfectant.
The 6-foot guidelines are absolutely useless. The minimum safe distance to protect oneself from an aerosolized virus is to be 15+ feet away from an infected person, no closer. Realistically, no public transit is safe.
Surgical masks do not protect you from aerosols. The virus is too small and the filter media has too large of gaps to filter it out. They may catch respiratory droplets and keep the virus from being expelled by someone who is sick, but they do not filter a cloud of infectious aerosols if someone were to walk into said cloud.
The minimum level of protection against this virus is quite literally a P100 respirator, a PAPR/CAPR, or a 40mm NATO CBRN respirator, ideally paired with a full-body tyvek or tychem suit, gloves, and booties, with all the holes and gaps taped.
Live SARS-CoV-2 may potentially be detected in sewage outflows, and there may be oral-fecal transmission. During the SARS outbreak in 2003, in the Amoy Gardens incident, hundreds of people were infected by aerosolized fecal matter rising from floor drains in their apartments.
COVID-19 Vaccine Dangers:The vaccines for COVID-19 are not sterilizing and do not prevent infection or transmission. They are “leaky” vaccines. This means they remove the evolutionary pressure on the virus to become less lethal. It also means that the vaccinated are perfect carriers. In other words, those who are vaccinated are a threat to the unvaccinated, not the other way around.
All of the COVID-19 vaccines currently in use have undergone minimal testing, with highly accelerated clinical trials. Though they appear to limit severe illness, the long-term safety profile of these vaccines remains unknown.
Some of these so-called “vaccines” utilize an untested new technology that has never been used in vaccines before. Traditional vaccines use weakened or killed virus to stimulate an immune response. The Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines do not. They are purported to consist of an intramuscular shot containing a suspension of lipid nanoparticles filled with messenger RNA. The way they generate an immune response is by fusing with cells in a vaccine recipient’s shoulder, undergoing endocytosis, releasing their mRNA cargo into those cells, and then utilizing the ribosomes in those cells to synthesize modified SARS-CoV-2 Spike proteins in-situ.
These modified Spike proteins then migrate to the surface of the cell, where they are anchored in place by a transmembrane domain. The adaptive immune system detects the non-human viral protein being expressed by these cells, and then forms antibodies against that protein. This is purported to confer protection against the virus, by training the adaptive immune system to recognize and produce antibodies against the Spike on the actual virus. The J&J and AstraZeneca vaccines do something similar, but use an adenovirus vector for genetic material delivery instead of a lipid nanoparticle. These vaccines were produced or validated with the aid of fetal cell lines HEK-293 and PER.C6, which people with certain religious convictions may object strongly to.
SARS-CoV-2 Spike is a highly pathogenic protein on its own. It is impossible to overstate the danger presented by introducing this protein into the human body.
It is claimed by vaccine manufacturers that the vaccine remains in cells in the shoulder, and that SARS- CoV-2 Spike produced and expressed by these cells from the vaccine’s genetic material is harmless and inert, thanks to the insertion of prolines in the Spike sequence to stabilize it in the prefusion conformation, preventing the Spike from becoming active and fusing with other cells. However, a pharmacokinetic study from Japan showed that the lipid nanoparticles and mRNA from the Pfizer vaccine did not stay in the shoulder, and in fact bioaccumulated in many different organs, including the reproductive organs and adrenal glands, meaning that modified Spike is being expressed quite literally all over the place. These lipid nanoparticles may trigger anaphylaxis in an unlucky few, but far more concerning is the unregulated expression of Spike in various somatic cell lines far from the injection site and the unknown consequences of that.
Messenger RNA is normally consumed right after it is produced in the body, being translated into a protein by a ribosome. COVID-19 vaccine mRNA is produced outside the body, long before a ribosome translates it. In the meantime, it could accumulate damage if inadequately preserved. When a ribosome attempts to translate a damaged strand of mRNA, it can become stalled. When this happens, the ribosome becomes useless for translating proteins because it now has a piece of mRNA stuck in it, like a lace card in an old punch card reader. The whole thing has to be cleaned up and new ribosomes synthesized to replace it. In cells with low ribosome turnover, like nerve cells, this can lead to reduced protein synthesis, cytopathic effects, and neuropathies.
Certain proteins, including SARS-CoV-2 Spike, have proteolytic cleavage sites that are basically like little dotted lines that say “cut here”, which attract a living organism’s own proteases (essentially, molecular scissors) to cut them. There is a possibility that S1 may be proteolytically cleaved from S2, causing active S1 to float away into the bloodstream while leaving the S2 “stalk” embedded in the membrane of the cell that expressed the protein.
SARS-CoV-2 Spike has a Superantigenic region (SAg), which may promote extreme inflammation.
Anti-Spike antibodies were found in one study to function as autoantibodies and attack the body’s own cells. Those who have been immunized with COVID-19 vaccines have developed blood clots, myocarditis, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Bell’s Palsy, and multiple sclerosis flares, indicating that the vaccine promotes autoimmune reactions against healthy tissue.
SARS-CoV-2 Spike does not only bind to ACE2. It was suspected to have regions that bind to basigin, integrins, neuropilin-1, and bacterial lipopolysaccharides as well. SARS-CoV-2 Spike, on its own, can potentially bind any of these things and act as a ligand for them, triggering unspecified and likely highly inflammatory cellular activity.
SARS-CoV-2 Spike contains an unusual PRRA insert that forms a furin cleavage site. Furin is a ubiquitous human protease, making this an ideal property for the Spike to have, giving it a high degree of cell tropism. No wild-type SARS-like coronaviruses related to SARS-CoV-2 possess this feature, making it highly suspicious, and perhaps a sign of human tampering.
SARS-CoV-2 Spike has a prion-like domain that enhances its infectiousness.
The Spike S1 RBD may bind to heparin-binding proteins and promote amyloid aggregation. In humans, this could lead to Parkinson’s, Lewy Body Dementia, premature Alzheimer’s, or various other neurodegenerative diseases. This is very concerning because SARS-CoV-2 S1 is capable of injuring and penetrating the blood-brain barrier and entering the brain. It is also capable of increasing the permeability of the blood-brain barrier to other molecules.
SARS-CoV-2, like other betacoronaviruses, may have Dengue-like ADE, or antibody-dependent enhancement of disease. For those who aren’t aware, some viruses, including betacoronaviruses, have a feature called ADE. There is also something called Original Antigenic Sin, which is the observation that the body prefers to produce antibodies based on previously-encountered strains of a virus over newly- encountered ones.
In ADE, antibodies from a previous infection become non-neutralizing due to mutations in the virus’s proteins. These non-neutralizing antibodies then act as trojan horses, allowing live, active virus to be pulled into macrophages through their Fc receptor pathways, allowing the virus to infect immune cells that it would not have been able to infect before. This has been known to happen with Dengue Fever; when someone gets sick with Dengue, recovers, and then contracts a different strain, they can get very, very ill.
If someone is vaccinated with mRNA based on the Spike from the initial Wuhan strain of SARS-CoV-2, and then they become infected with a future, mutated strain of the virus, they may become severely ill. In other words, it is possible for vaccines to sensitize someone to disease.
There is a precedent for this in recent history. Sanofi’s Dengvaxia vaccine for Dengue failed because it caused immune sensitization in people whose immune systems were Dengue-naive.
In mice immunized against SARS-CoV and challenged with the virus, a close relative of SARS-CoV-2, they developed immune sensitization, Th2 immunopathology, and eosinophil infiltration in their lungs.
We have been told that SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines cannot be integrated into the human genome, because messenger RNA cannot be turned back into DNA. This is false. There are elements in human cells called LINE-1 retrotransposons, which can indeed integrate mRNA into a human genome by endogenous reverse transcription. Because the mRNA used in the vaccines is stabilized, it hangs around in cells longer, increasing the chances for this to happen. If the gene for SARS-CoV-2 Spike is integrated into a portion of the genome that is not silent and actually expresses a protein, it is possible that people who take this vaccine may continuously express SARS-CoV-2 Spike from their somatic cells for the rest of their lives.
By inoculating people with a vaccine that causes their bodies to produce Spike in-situ, they are being inoculated with a pathogenic protein. A toxin that may cause long-term inflammation, heart problems, and a raised risk of cancers. In the long-term, it may also potentially lead to premature neurodegenerative disease.
Absolutely nobody should be compelled to take this vaccine under any circumstances, and in actual fact, the vaccination campaign must be stopped immediately.
COVID-19 Criminal Conspiracy:The vaccine and the virus were made by the same people.
In 2014, there was a moratorium on SARS gain-of-function research that lasted until 2017. This research was not halted. Instead, it was outsourced, with the federal grants being laundered through NGOs.
Ralph Baric is a virologist and SARS expert at UNC Chapel Hill in North Carolina. This is who Anthony Fauci was referring to when he insisted, before Congress, that if any gain-of-function research was being conducted, it was being conducted in North Carolina.
This was a lie. Anthony Fauci lied before Congress. A felony.
Ralph Baric and Shi Zhengli are colleagues and have co-written papers together. Ralph Baric mentored Shi Zhengli in his gain-of-function manipulation techniques, particularly serial passage, which results in a virus that appears as if it originated naturally. In other words, deniable bioweapons. Serial passage in humanized hACE2 mice may have produced something like SARS-CoV-2.
The funding for the gain-of-function research being conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology came from Peter Daszak. Peter Daszak runs an NGO called EcoHealth Alliance. EcoHealth Alliance received millions of dollars in grant money from the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (that is, Anthony Fauci), the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (part of the US Department of Defense), and the United States Agency for International Development. NIH/NIAID contributed a few million dollars, and DTRA and USAID each contributed tens of millions of dollars towards this research. Altogether, it was over a hundred million dollars.
EcoHealth Alliance subcontracted these grants to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a lab in China with a very questionable safety record and poorly trained staff, so that they could conduct gain-of-function research, not in their fancy P4 lab, but in a level-2 lab where technicians wore nothing more sophisticated than perhaps a hairnet, latex gloves, and a surgical mask, instead of the bubble suits used when working with dangerous viruses. Chinese scientists in Wuhan reported being routinely bitten and urinated on by laboratory animals. Why anyone would outsource this dangerous and delicate work to the People’s Republic of China, a country infamous for industrial accidents and massive explosions that have claimed hundreds of lives, is completely beyond me, unless the aim was to start a pandemic on purpose.
In November of 2019, three technicians at the Wuhan Institute of Virology developed symptoms consistent with a flu-like illness. Anthony Fauci, Peter Daszak, and Ralph Baric knew at once what had happened, because back channels exist between this laboratory and our scientists and officials.
December 12th, 2019, Ralph Baric signed a Material Transfer Agreement (essentially, an NDA) to receive Coronavirus mRNA vaccine-related materials co-owned by Moderna and NIH. It wasn’t until a whole month later, on January 11th, 2020, that China allegedly sent us the sequence to what would become known as SARS-CoV-2. Moderna claims, rather absurdly, that they developed a working vaccine from this sequence in under 48 hours.
Stephane Bancel, the current CEO of Moderna, was formerly the CEO of bioMerieux, a French multinational corporation specializing in medical diagnostic tech, founded by one Alain Merieux. Alain Merieux was one of the individuals who was instrumental in the construction of the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s P4 lab.
The sequence given as the closest relative to SARS-CoV-2, RaTG13, is not a real virus. It is a forgery. It was made by entering a gene sequence by hand into a database, to create a cover story for the existence of SARS-CoV-2, which is very likely a gain-of-function chimera produced at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and was either leaked by accident or intentionally released.
The animal reservoir of SARS-CoV-2 has never been found.
This is not a conspiracy “theory”. It is an actual criminal conspiracy, in which people connected to the development of Moderna’s mRNA-1273 are directly connected to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and their gain-of-function research by very few degrees of separation, if any. The paper trail is well- established.
The lab-leak theory has been suppressed because pulling that thread leads one to inevitably conclude that there is enough circumstantial evidence to link Moderna, the NIH, the WIV, and both the vaccine and the virus’s creation together. In a sane country, this would have immediately led to the world’s biggest RICO and mass murder case. Anthony Fauci, Peter Daszak, Ralph Baric, Shi Zhengli, and Stephane Bancel, and their accomplices, would have been indicted and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Instead, billions of our tax dollars were awarded to the perpetrators.
The FBI raided Allure Medical in Shelby Township north of Detroit for billing insurance for “fraudulent COVID-19 cures”. The treatment they were using? Intravenous Vitamin C. An antioxidant. Which, as described above, is an entirely valid treatment for COVID-19-induced sepsis, and indeed, is now part of the MATH+ protocol advanced by Dr. Paul E. Marik.
The FDA banned ranitidine (Zantac) due to supposed NDMA (N-nitrosodimethylamine) contamination. Ranitidine is not only an H2 blocker used as antacid, but also has a powerful antioxidant effect, scavenging hydroxyl radicals. This gives it utility in treating COVID-19.
The FDA also attempted to take N-acetylcysteine, a harmless amino acid supplement and antioxidant, off the shelves, compelling Amazon to remove it from their online storefront.
This leaves us with a chilling question: did the FDA knowingly suppress antioxidants useful for treating COVID-19 sepsis as part of a criminal conspiracy against the American public?
The establishment is cooperating with, and facilitating, the worst criminals in human history, and are actively suppressing non-vaccine treatments and therapies in order to compel us to inject these criminals’ products into our bodies. This is absolutely unacceptable.
COVID-19 Vaccine Development and Links to Transhumanism:This section deals with some more speculative aspects of the pandemic and the medical and scientific establishment’s reaction to it, as well as the disturbing links between scientists involved in vaccine research and scientists whose work involved merging nanotechnology with living cells.
On June 9th, 2020, Charles Lieber, a Harvard nanotechnology researcher with decades of experience, was indicted by the DOJ for fraud. Charles Lieber received millions of dollars in grant money from the US Department of Defense, specifically the military think tanks DARPA, AFOSR, and ONR, as well as NIH and MITRE. His specialty is the use of silicon nanowires in lieu of patch clamp electrodes to monitor and modulate intracellular activity, something he has been working on at Harvard for the past twenty years. He was claimed to have been working on silicon nanowire batteries in China, but none of his colleagues can recall him ever having worked on battery technology in his life; all of his research deals with bionanotechnology, or the blending of nanotech with living cells.
The indictment was over his collaboration with the Wuhan University of Technology. He had double- dipped, against the terms of his DOD grants, and taken money from the PRC’s Thousand Talents plan, a program which the Chinese government uses to bribe Western scientists into sharing proprietary R&D information that can be exploited by the PLA for strategic advantage.
Charles Lieber’s own papers describe the use of silicon nanowires for brain-computer interfaces, or “neural lace” technology. His papers describe how neurons can endocytose whole silicon nanowires or parts of them, monitoring and even modulating neuronal activity.
Charles Lieber was a colleague of Robert Langer. Together, along with Daniel S. Kohane, they worked on a paper describing artificial tissue scaffolds that could be implanted in a human heart to monitor its activity remotely.
Robert Langer, an MIT alumnus and expert in nanotech drug delivery, is one of the co-founders of Moderna. His net worth is now $5.1 billion USD thanks to Moderna’s mRNA-1273 vaccine sales.
Both Charles Lieber and Robert Langer’s bibliographies describe, essentially, techniques for human enhancement, i.e. transhumanism. Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum and the architect behind the so-called “Great Reset”, has long spoken of the “blending of biology and machinery” in his books.
Since these revelations, it has come to the attention of independent researchers that the COVID-19 vaccines may contain reduced graphene oxide nanoparticles. Japanese researchers have also found unexplained contaminants in COVID-19 vaccines.
Graphene oxide is an anxiolytic. It has been shown to reduce the anxiety of laboratory mice when injected into their brains. Indeed, given SARS-CoV-2 Spike’s propensity to compromise the blood-brain barrier and increase its permeability, it is the perfect protein for preparing brain tissue for extravasation of nanoparticles from the bloodstream and into the brain. Graphene is also highly conductive and, in some circumstances, paramagnetic.
In 2013, under the Obama administration, DARPA launched the BRAIN Initiative; BRAIN is an acronym for Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies®. This program involves the development of brain-computer interface technologies for the military, particularly non-invasive, injectable systems that cause minimal damage to brain tissue when removed. Supposedly, this technology would be used for healing wounded soldiers with traumatic brain injuries, the direct brain control of prosthetic limbs, and even new abilities such as controlling drones with one’s mind.
Various methods have been proposed for achieving this, including optogenetics, magnetogenetics, ultrasound, implanted electrodes, and transcranial electromagnetic stimulation. In all instances, the goal is to obtain read or read-write capability over neurons, either by stimulating and probing them, or by rendering them especially sensitive to stimulation and probing.
However, the notion of the widespread use of BCI technology, such as Elon Musk’s Neuralink device, raises many concerns over privacy and personal autonomy. Reading from neurons is problematic enough on its own. Wireless brain-computer interfaces may interact with current or future wireless GSM infrastructure, creating neurological data security concerns. A hacker or other malicious actor may compromise such networks to obtain people’s brain data, and then exploit it for nefarious purposes.
However, a device capable of writing to human neurons, not just reading from them, presents another, even more serious set of ethical concerns. A BCI that is capable of altering the contents of one’s mind for innocuous purposes, such as projecting a heads-up display onto their brain’s visual center or sending audio into one’s auditory cortex, would also theoretically be capable of altering mood and personality, or perhaps even subjugating someone’s very will, rendering them utterly obedient to authority. This technology would be a tyrant’s wet dream. Imagine soldiers who would shoot their own countrymen without hesitation, or helpless serfs who are satisfied to live in literal dog kennels.
BCIs could be used to unscrupulously alter perceptions of basic things such as emotions and values, changing people’s thresholds of satiety, happiness, anger, disgust, and so forth. This is not inconsequential. Someone’s entire regime of behaviors could be altered by a BCI, including such things as suppressing their appetite or desire for virtually anything on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
Anything is possible when you have direct access to someone’s brain and its contents. Someone who is obese could be made to feel disgust at the sight of food. Someone who is involuntarily celibate could have their libido disabled so they don’t even desire sex to begin with. Someone who is racist could be forced to feel delight over cohabiting with people of other races. Someone who is violent could be forced to be meek and submissive. These things might sound good to you if you are a tyrant, but to normal people, the idea of personal autonomy being overridden to such a degree is appalling.
For the wealthy, neural laces would be an unequaled boon, giving them the opportunity to enhance their intelligence with neuroprosthetics (i.e. an “exocortex”), and to deliver irresistible commands directly into the minds of their BCI-augmented servants, even physically or sexually abusive commands that they would normally refuse.
If the vaccine is a method to surreptitiously introduce an injectable BCI into millions of people without their knowledge or consent, then what we are witnessing is the rise of a tyrannical regime unlike anything ever seen before on the face of this planet, one that fully intends to strip every man, woman, and child of our free will.
Our flaws are what make us human. A utopia arrived at by removing people’s free will is not a utopia at all. It is a monomaniacal nightmare. Furthermore, the people who rule over us are Dark Triad types who cannot be trusted with such power. Imagine being beaten and sexually assaulted by a wealthy and powerful psychopath and being forced to smile and laugh over it because your neural lace gives you no choice but to obey your master.
The Elites are forging ahead with this technology without giving people any room to question the social or ethical ramifications, or to establish regulatory frameworks that ensure that our personal agency and autonomy will not be overridden by these devices. They do this because they secretly dream of a future where they can treat you worse than an animal and you cannot even fight back. If this evil plan is allowed to continue, it will spell the end of humanity as we know it.
Conclusions:The current pandemic was produced and perpetuated by the establishment, through the use of a virus engineered in a PLA-connected Chinese biowarfare laboratory, with the aid of American taxpayer dollars and French expertise.
This research was conducted under the absolutely ridiculous euphemism of “gain-of-function” research, which is supposedly carried out in order to determine which viruses have the highest potential for zoonotic spillover and preemptively vaccinate or guard against them.
Gain-of-function/gain-of-threat research, a.k.a. “Dual-Use Research of Concern”, or DURC, is bioweapon research by another, friendlier-sounding name, simply to avoid the taboo of calling it what it actually is. It has always been bioweapon research. The people who are conducting this research fully understand that they are taking wild pathogens that are not infectious in humans and making them more infectious, often taking grants from military think tanks encouraging them to do so.
These virologists conducting this type of research are enemies of their fellow man, like pyromaniac firefighters. GOF research has never protected anyone from any pandemic. In fact, it has now started one, meaning its utility for preventing pandemics is actually negative. It should have been banned globally, and the lunatics performing it should have been put in straitjackets long ago.
Either through a leak or an intentional release from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a deadly SARS strain is now endemic across the globe, after the WHO and CDC and public officials first downplayed the risks, and then intentionally incited a panic and lockdowns that jeopardized people’s health and their livelihoods.
This was then used by the utterly depraved and psychopathic aristocratic class who rule over us as an excuse to coerce people into accepting an injected poison which may be a depopulation agent, a mind control/pacification agent in the form of injectable “smart dust”, or both in one. They believe they can get away with this by weaponizing the social stigma of vaccine refusal. They are incorrect.
Their motives are clear and obvious to anyone who has been paying attention. These megalomaniacs have raided the pension funds of the free world. Wall Street is insolvent and has had an ongoing liquidity crisis since the end of 2019. The aim now is to exert total, full-spectrum physical, mental, and financial control over humanity before we realize just how badly we’ve been extorted by these maniacs.
The pandemic and its response served multiple purposes for the Elite:
Any one of these things would constitute a vicious rape of Western society. Taken together, they beggar belief; they are a complete inversion of our most treasured values.
What is the purpose of all of this? One can only speculate as to the perpetrators’ motives, however, we have some theories.
The Elites are trying to pull up the ladder, erase upward mobility for large segments of the population, cull political opponents and other “undesirables”, and put the remainder of humanity on a tight leash, rationing our access to certain goods and services that they have deemed “high-impact”, such as automobile use, tourism, meat consumption, and so on. Naturally, they will continue to have their own luxuries, as part of a strict caste system akin to feudalism.
Why are they doing this? Simple. The Elites are Neo-Malthusians and believe that we are overpopulated and that resource depletion will collapse civilization in a matter of a few short decades. They are not necessarily incorrect in this belief. We are overpopulated, and we are consuming too many resources. However, orchestrating such a gruesome and murderous power grab in response to a looming crisis demonstrates that they have nothing but the utmost contempt for their fellow man.
To those who are participating in this disgusting farce without any understanding of what they are doing, we have one word for you. Stop. You are causing irreparable harm to your country and to your fellow citizens.
To those who may be reading this warning and have full knowledge and understanding of what they are doing and how it will unjustly harm millions of innocent people, we have a few more words.
Damn you to hell. You will not destroy America and the Free World, and you will not have your New World Order. We will make certain of that.

The New Taliban are looking more and more like the old Taliban. Sure, there was some speculation about a more modern version of their nineties counterparts, but neither the Quran nor Sharia has changed in their minds, so the outcome was always predictable.
The Taliban hanged a dead body from a crane parked in a city square in Afghanistan on Saturday in a gruesome display that signaled the hard-line movement’s return to some of its brutal tactics of the past.
The official line is that four individuals were engaged in a kidnapping when Taliban “police” intervened, killing all four. As likely a story as any, I suppose.
The Taliban have also said there will be executions and other measures like the chopping off of hands.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — One of the founders of the Taliban and the chief enforcer of its harsh interpretation of Islamic law when they last ruled Afghanistan said the hard-line movement will once again carry out executions and amputations of hands, though perhaps not in public. …
“Everyone criticized us for the punishments in the stadium, but we have never said anything about their laws and their punishments,” Turabi told The Associated Press, speaking in Kabul. “No one will tell us what our laws should be. We will follow Islam and we will make our laws on the Quran.”
Never? So, there is no pursuit of some global Ummah, and you are not compelled by Islam to cleanse the world of infidels, including burning it all to achieve that end. I’ve heard that a few times, and your history is one long jihad to spread the word of The Prophet by the sword.
That’s your interpretation of Islam, the Quran, and Sharia. That is who the Taliban are and what they intend.
There will be terror and terrorism because you do not condone the laws and punishments of other cultures and faiths.
You kidnapped an entire country to that end, and Joe Biden rewarded you with hostages and military equipment.
And I have to wonder if “the kidnapping” was actually some effort to get people out of the country or was there a kidnapping at all? The Taliban is sticking to their story and their tactics. “The aim of this action is to alert all criminals that they are not safe.”
Anyone who dares to exist outside the boundaries of Sharia is not safe. This is especially true for the unknown number of Americans and Afghans who assisted them still inside the country.
At least the ones who haven’t been “kidnapped” yet.

As the 2021 Fall election approaches, it is time for the citizens of Nashua to take a close look at their City government and the elected officials running it. In doing so we have found a lot to like but also some glaring deficiencies.
On the plus side there is a conscious attempt to celebrate individual and community achievements, some concern for the fate of small businesses, active support of non-profit and especially caregiver organizations, and the encouragement of civic pride.
The quality of City Services varies, but the City should point with pride to its Police and Fire Departments and to those charged with gathering up our trash and recycling what they can. In the Winter our road crews are tireless and efficient Moreover, the citizenry is pleasant and generally helpful. What then could be our concerns and why do we think some new leadership is required?
In order to move ahead and become the City it could be while living up to its New Hampshire title as the Gate City, political leaders must confront a number of key issues. First, a belligerent political divide. Some would label the opposing sides as liberals and conservatives or Left vs Right Wingers and still, others would use the term deplorable vs the rest of us or even Patriots vs Communists. These labels are almost never helpful assuming the political goal is to develop consensus rather than attempting to govern with a “winner take all ” mindset.
The social cost of the “winner take all” mindset is vividly displayed in the ongoing controversy surrounding the construction of Nashua’s new Performing Arts Center, the PAC. Approval for the project was granted with the passing of a City-wide referendum by the slimmest of margins. Rather than proceeding cautiously and attempting to address the misgivings of naysayers, the “winners” chose to ignore them. Instead they began a marketing campaign to overcome community opposition. A campaign that grossly exaggerated the long-term economic benefits of the project in order to stifle opposition.
The result after five years–a project yet to be completed. A project originally estimated to require 15 million in new borrowing is now projected to require 29 million in City borrowing and counting. A project which too many citizens hope fails. A project that jeopardizes the support needed for other vitally needed City improvements.

New Leadership is Needed
New leadership is now required to restore confidence in our government. New leadership that will build on lessons learned and govern with the intent to build consensus.
To build consensus City government must encourage dialogue. Informed dialogue requires the sharing of data and information. Both the current Board of Aldermen and the Mayor’s Office are guilty of taking concrete steps to impede the flow of information and limit the ability of ordinary citizens to be heard in an open forum.
The Mayor’s Office has taken the extraordinary step of hiring a full-time lawyer to screen and respond to Freedom of Information requests from ordinary citizens. The obvious result is a chilling effect on those contemplating such requests and a significant increase in the monetary cost of pursuing all but the most simple and straightforward of those requests.
In a highly publicized recent case, the City lost in its attempt to deny access to information but that required a court hearing and the retention of lawyers. Rather than complicated legal matters, the City was cited for unnecessary delays in responding to the initial request.
As for the Board of Aldermen, their actions were simply ham-handed. They voted to severely limit the amount of time a citizen was allotted to speak at an open public meeting installing buzzers and red lights to enforce their rule. While reasonable safeguards are needed to ensure public order and the integrity of public meetings, the time limits chosen and other associated “rules” are simply meant to shut down citizen comments.
To move forward the City needs leadership truly dedicated to the goals of TRANSPARENCY and CITIZEN INPUT IN DECISION MAKING. The current government has no real interest in
either.
Fiscal Conservatives, City Needs, and City Expenditures
Those who call themselves fiscal conservatives stress the need for efficiency in implementing government programs and rail against perceived overspending, inefficiency, and waste. There have been loud outcries of late that the City is engaged in excessive spending. However, there are many citizens who point out that this so-called waste and inefficiency is actually the dedicated attempt to assure access and equity in the delivery of City government services.
There is really no good way to resolve these differences of opinion without detailed, accurate data on program costs and program outcomes, as well as an accurate assessment of the overall fiscal condition of City finances.
At present, the city enjoys an excellent bond rating but does a poor job of detailing program costs and program outcomes. Why? Because it has a complicated line item budget system that does not lend itself to program evaluation. If Nashua were a small town in rural New Hampshire the system would probably work. In a city of ninety thousand with a budget in excess of three hundred million, it does not.
Providing greater insight into the sources and uses of funds along with accurate assessments of program outcomes is not a simple task. Nonetheless, we need elected officials who truly understand the task and dedicate themselves to meeting the challenge. Masterplanning, while a potentially useful exercise for some, fails as a substitute for program evaluation. Even worse, it can be and often is used as an excuse for foolish expenditures. Our elected officials can be ideologically inspired but they also need to be data-driven.
The Need to Listen
The City has recently embarked on a housing program aimed at increasing density in the Downtown area. Officials think the program will serve the twin goals of increasing the rental housing supply and increasing the potential customer base for the Performing Arts Center. However, the property tax subsidies handed out to developers as inducements are very expensive and not necessarily appropriate.
There is no assurance that the “moderate-income” rental objective, cited by officials as justification for the developer tax giveaways will be a long-term feature. The more successful the PAC the more likely market forces will drive rental prices higher, displacing “moderate-income “ renters but leaving the tax giveaway in place.
At the same time, the City has chosen to ignore key recommendations put forth by the original consultant report that supported the creation of the Center. That report urged an integrated Arts program be created involving the renovations of two additional City-owned structures and overall local control.
The City never moved forward on the associated renovations, never created a mechanism for an integrated program, and contracted out the programming of major performances at the Center. At this point, there is no general understanding of what the Center will add to the performing arts in Nashua or how the Center will integrate arts offerings throughout Downtown.
The suggested revitalization of the Court St Theater Building enjoys a half-hearted upgrade and a whole section of the building has been given over to a retail brewery enterprise that enjoys free rent. The suggested renovation of the major concert hall on Elm Street has not happened and worse the site itself may be lost.
The City needs candidates who will work to maximize the contribution of the completed Performing Arts Center to the civic and cultural life of the WHOLE COMMUNITY. Those candidates should also pledge to work toward implementing the vision of the original consultant’s report.
————————————-
In 2018 a MIT study group undertook an extensive look at the economy and civic life of Nashua and submitted a detailed report on ways to build a brighter economic and social future. The report should have been required reading for anyone contemplating public office. It still is. The report contains a number of suggestions and directives for training our labor force building and creating a more dynamic Nashua and physically connecting the Millyard District to Downtown in a way that will foster the economic development of that area. The report has never been given the attention it deserves and New Leadership should correct the mistake. The implications for instructure planning and City encouraged business development are substantial
The Overwhelming Crisis the City Faces
At least fifty percent (50%) of all City expenditures are directed to your public schools. That system has failed. The reasons for the failure are complex and indeed some would argue that the basic accusation is wrong. They point out that the two large public high schools are competitive within the State.s hierarchy and the chartered high school gets very high marks in the State -wide competition.
Those defenders are correct with respect to the Charter High School, the “Academy for Science and Design.” Recent evaluations place it at the top of all High Schools Statewide and 108th nationally. However, a recent headline in one local paper that declared “ Gate City’s largest High Schools are ranked in the top 50 of New Hampshire Best High Schools” is, at best, misleading. The reality is that the survey also ranked one school 31st out of fifty and the other 44th out of the fifty. In the most recent survey, both schools had slipped to 44th and fifty-first respectively. Some bragging rights are permitted but they should be muted.
A look at national rating systems for high schools reinforces the cautionary tale. The Charter school does score well nationally. The two public high schools are just above the middle of a very large group. In a group of 17,000 high schools rated by US News and World Report Nashua’s two public high schools came in at nos 7,214 and 5,987. Obviously, there is a growing need for improvement. However, the real scandal is the pipeline which features struggling elementary schools. The student composition in those schools reflects the socio-economic composition of the community at large and continues to change in ways that have presented a challenge to our professional educators. Those educators have not been up to the challenge.
Changing Demographics
City officials love to talk about Nashua as a “Welcoming City” and to remind us of the importance of racial and cultural diversity. This author agrees with that message. We need to take a close look at demographic changes that have taken place in Nashua and the implications for the tasks ahead. Table #1 below details some of the changes that have occurred.
TABLE # 1
Changes in Racial Composition of Nashua NH
2010 —-2020
2010 2020
White 79.4% 72.9%
Hispanic 9.6% 13.5%
Asian 6.4% 8.2%
Black 2.2% 3.0%
Two or more 2.2% 2.8%
Total Population approx 85 Thous approx 90 thousand
The White population has decreased both as a percentage of the whole and in actual numbers relative to ten years ago. The minority populations have all gained in numbers and as a percentage of the total with the Hispanic population registering the largest increase. These changes are reflected in the changing composition of our public school student body.
The City and the School Board have focused on the overall decrease in public school enrollment, fretting about possible consolidations and closures. They have followed a well-worn “educators path” in continually stressing the overall physical condition of some school buildings and hiring the usual “gang” of school construction experts to tell them that renovation is always more expensive than new construction.
One result, the ongoing commitment to erect a major new middle school facility that will result in dramatic changes in many students’ journey to school. Is this major expenditure of public funds optimal? Perhaps! It all depends on whether the new physical facilities are accompanied by major changes in the way “schooling” is carried on inside the new structures.
To be sure, good teaching and good educational programs require appropriate facilities but the most elaborate of facilities cannot assure educational program success. The reality is that despite extensive empirical research in an attempt to identify and specify the components of an educational production function, no one has been successful. Experts can tell you if you are doing something awful or obviously counter-productive. They cannot tell you precisely how to change the mix of school inputs to produce a better outcome.
Now the School Board and the City are under the gun to produce a better outcome. The United States Department of Justice is directing the City to focus on the education of Hispanic elementary school students, correct the City’s shortcomings and generate much better outcomes. A careful reading of the Settlement Agreement between the United States of America and Nashua School District signed May 24, 2021, asks for comprehensive initiatives and evaluations as well as detailed reporting.
The current School Board has reported on the Agreement but has minimized the scale of the undertaking asked for and expected by the US Department of Justice. This is no time to waffle and trout out the usual excuses i.e. funding constraints, coved 19, critical competing demands on the School Boards time, or whatever another excuse seems handy. Furthermore, the evaluation called for requires expertise not necessarily currently employed by the school system. If a consulting firm is hired it needs to be a Nationally recognized entity NOT a local underqualified firm. Only political candidates capable of recognizing the seriousness of the situation and the need to carefully monitor the corrective actions required should be supported in their quest for office.
While the complaint of the US Department of Justice is directed at the mistreatment of elementary school Hispanic children, there is yet another school phenomenon that should be addressed. Specifically, the overall decline in school enrollment has been driven by a precipitous decline in the enrollment of white children offset by a rise in minority enrollment.
The decline exceeds the change in overall City demographics and demands further study. Second, while the Academy for Science and Design (a City charter School) gets a well-deserved “shout out” for its growth and success, the racial composition of its student body is a disappointment. Only a handful of Black and Hispanic children have been able to enroll.
Finally, our new School Board needs to declare that the existence of two elementary schools that rank near the bottom of 231 public elementary schools in NH is simply unacceptable and then pledge to do something about it! (see tables and rankings)
The list of half-finished City Projects is a long and discouraging one. While the River Walk and the area adjacent to the library remain “half done,” the City has embarked on a new project to create a Frisbee Course.
While the Public Works Department lobbies for a new building, the City fumbles with the sale of its last mistake in acquiring one and then refuses to use the sale proceeds to pay off a bond it used to buy the “the mistake.”
The City looks with pride at a rather impressive, expanded Library Building, then refuses to provide the funds that would make it an outstanding resource (It is half empty).
The City reads the results of the National engineering survey on the condition of bridges, notes the existence of severe deficiencies in two vital links spanning the Nashua River, sends out for bids on the repair of one, and ABANDONS the project.
The City announces with great fanfare the plans for the Park/Walk along the Nashua River. The whole project proceeds at a snail’s pace. As part of the project the City rips out and cuts down all the foliage behind and adjacent to the library exposing an uncultivated ugly bank on both sides of the River and replaces the trees with….NOTHING.
The City decides to place barriers on Main Street to encourage outdoor dining during the Cov19 emergency. As the idea of encouraging outdoor dining as a way to mitigate the effect of the pandemic on restaurants picks up steam, the City decides to lock itself into cement barriers as the ideal way to extend outdoor seating options. The result is less than aesthetically ideal. Now the City is faced with cumbersome barriers it owns along with expensive removal, retrieval, and storage costs.
Naturally, there is now talk of making the barriers permanent.
The social cost of ad hoc budgeting was on vivid display at a recent Aldermen’s meeting during a discussion about what to do with a newly recognized surplus in year-end funds. A well-constructed program budget should have been in place. That budget would have had appropriate program level metrics assessing progress, success, and failure with an assigned priority to the overall effort. It was not and that left the Aldermen with an unhelpful debate over whether to use the funds to lower taxes or spend them on last-minute new and/or pet projects.
The list of specifics can be extended, but the point is made. The City needs a new and better budgeting system in order to make the right choices among competing demands for funding.
Before summarizing our concerns, it is important to take a look at the issue that always hovers over every discussion. It is the proverbial “Elephant in the Room” –. Property taxes and the assessment process. New Hampshire relies heavily on its property tax base for operating revenue. Many people would argue too heavily. Most opposition to broadening the tax base is rooted in the assumption that broadening the base would simply lead to wasteful new spending, not property tax relief.
We cannot settle that question here but we can point out some of the problems that elevate fear and distort policy debates here in Nashua. In a write-up to follow we will discuss some of this in detail. For now, it is sufficient to point out that the political climate in Nashua is such that Citywide re-assessments are avoided.
Instead of the regular process of assessment updates adopted by many progressive cities of size, Nashua officials have been forced by the State to conduct updates to comply with State law. Instead of a City-wide list of updated housing values that reflect increases in sales values brought about by improvements that have been Permitted and Inspected by the City, Nashua has an “Endless List” of open permits.
The Office of the Assessor is understaffed and does not even try to establish a system whereby new realtor listings carry complete and accurate property descriptions, including any information on open permits. This one omission can be the source of many problems and there is much more.
Finally, given all of these issues, it is astounding that at present the City leadership has spent and continues to spend time and effort in an attempt to wrest control of the Commission that oversees our City Police Force from the State. This is one vital City service that apparently does an excellent job in so far as the City gets high marks nationally for low crime rates and the favorite rating system of the Mayor “Wallet Hub” also commends the City for its safety.
Instead of expending time and resources on a “nonproblem to date” the City should focus on several obvious problems that must be addressed…
A CALL TO ACTION
What follows is a list of initiatives that the City should undertake in order to make Nashua a better place to live. The list is suggestive, not exhaustive. Candidates for City office who can support major portions of the list should receive YOUR SUPPORT. Candidates who consider the list esoteric, or impractical or too expensive, or offensive should be avoided.
Both City Hall and the Board of Aldermen should adopt changes to their rules and regulations that will make it easier for citizens to be heard at public meetings. Speaking time limitations should be revised and expanded and written statements published as part of the record.
Right to Know guidelines should be written and made generally available. Guidelines should favor the immediate release of public information upon request, should err on the side of openness. Above all, the guidelines should pledge to avoid the misuse or overuse of the” working paper” or” draft” designation in order to restrict access..
The City should immediately fund a pilot program to convert the existing budget format to a program budgeting format with an appropriate “crosswalk “ between the two
The City should modify the directive associated with the $100,000 recent allocation to “Study” the possible future use of the Millyard area. Those funds should be used to add significant specificity to the recommendations contained in the MIT study submitted in 2018. Studies by government entities are often used to delay action. The MIT overview already contains many specifics. Those specifics should be refined so that concrete action directed at converting the area and tying it to Downtown can commence.
Public School reform should become the #1 social goal of the City. The City Needs to modify its view that good schools are generated by better bricks and mortar and inspire an “all hands on deck” effort to improve its school programs to the point where it can successfully educate ALL its children. It should aim to make “School Choice” stand for a choice between equivalent outcomes generated by different methods. The City should start by admitting it has a problem.
The City should reassess its efforts to integrate its performing arts efforts, establish more local oversight of the PAC offerings and make every effort to upgrade the Elm St Auditorium and the Court Street facility.
The City needs to establish a smarter Capital Budgeting process that provides for far better prioritization.
Final note: The Board of Aldermen should strengthen its voice as a Voice, Not an Echo.

What they [the media and politicians] want to hear are things that make for excitement, crusades, and a chance to be on the side of the angels. They want statistics or anything else that blames our whole way of life for creating catastrophic dangers that only the wise and noble few can save us from.
Whether it is “the greenhouse effect,” chemical residues from pesticides, the dangers of nuclear radiation, or a thousand other things, the bottom line is the same: The morally anointed are to stand on Olympus and order the rest of us around – for our own good.
Statistics that ruin this scenario are rarely mentioned.

It has just been reported in the Washington Post that in Bob Woodward’s new book our Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Milley made two separate secret backchannel phone calls within a couple of months of each other to China’s top General.
General Milley told the Chinese General that if then President Donald Trump decided to attack China that he (Milley) would call the Chinese General and give him a warning so any attack would not be a surprise.
This is on the face of it outrageous that then President Trump would attack China unless it was in response to China attacking one of our allies. General Milley is held to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) just like all American military personnel are.
President Trump is General Milley’s direct superior and for him to contact a General in the Communist China military and offer to warn of a U.S. attack is at best espionage and worst treason.
What if this General panicked and the Chinese government believed that we were really planning to attack them and they decided to strike first because of Milley’s calls? Milley is not the President and he does not have the authority to override the President and who would believe that President Trump was planning on attacking China out of the blue?
We want to thank Jerry Delemus for this Op-Ed. If you have an Op-Ed or LTE
you would like us to consider, please submit it to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.
We have a sailor who took a selfie of himself in a submarine and he is in Leavenworth. General Milley should be fired and stripped of his rank and court-martialed.
This is what “insurrection” looks like for those that are curious. It’s not a bunch of protesters breaking into the Capital.
Outrage over this story should be from all members of Congress regardless of party. The fear is that since it was the first step in a mutiny by Milley against President Trump it is acceptable to the (Propagandist) Media and to Democrats in Congress.
It seems all laws are up for grabs when it’s a Democrat doing the violation.
We still haven’t heard from Durham and his report is two years late. Hunter Biden and President Biden’s illegal activities for profit in China are now not even mentioned. President Biden and General Milley attack a car driven by one of our allies filled with 7 children and blows them to pieces with a drone and the Media and Democrats are silent.
Make no mistake a coup de tat has occurred and it put Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the White House. This is what tyranny looks like and now we know that General Milley is knee-deep in it.
Semper Fi.

The Democrat’s Inner Totalitarian selves have exploded out of their chests like the alien in the Ridley Scott movie. Take Biden’s Emergency Order that all staff in nursing homes have to have The Jab to work there.
New York State has a similar one. And we know that lots of private healthcare companies have similar mandates.
And yet the politicians and administrators are yammering that they have too few beds to cope with the “regular” sick patients along with the current spike of WuFlu patients.
They wish us to believe (especially NH’s WMUR whose daily two minutes of COVID Panic Porn) never mentions that the bed shortage is, at least in part, a man-made disaster (and I’m not just talking about the Wuhan ChiCom scientists fueled by Dr. Fauci’s use of our tax monies).
But this was something I hadn’t seen before – not only will NY healthcare providers lose their jobs but the State is going to pound them economically even more:
NY prepares for health care staff shortage as COVID vaccine mandate looms
New York officials are prepared to call in medically trained National Guard members and retirees to address potential staffing shortages caused by an approaching COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care workers, Gov. Kathy Hochul said Saturday. Hochul released a plan to address what she called preventable staffing shortages in hospitals and other health care facilities once the mandate takes effect Monday.
And we know what this Cuomo-replacement Governor means by “preventable” – that these selfish people (by HER definition) refuse to serve the “greater good” (by HER definition) and just do that 30-second procedure.
So she’s in the process of getting other people in to replace these rebellious ones (National Guard, the retired, from other countries or States). But at the end of that piece was this that proves what many of us on the Right have believed right along – Democrats are ALL about punishing those that don’t go along with the Democrat point of view:
The Department of Labor also issued guidance to clarify that health care workers who are terminated because of their refusal to be vaccinated against COVID are not eligible for unemployment insurance. The exception being for workers who can provide a doctor-approved request for medical accommodation.
Really? REALLY? Talk about walking these health care workers off the plank! So, we see the Left’s absolute totalitarianism at play. They want to disallow the unvaxxed from receiving medical care, not allow them to fly, not allow them into movie houses or theaters.
And now, make it impossible to receive what is normal in our society by removing their participation in the social safety net, in terms of a short-term unemployment check, from these folks.
And weren’t the Democrats all about going into further national debt to make sure that anyone at all that DIDN’T want to work get a check and screamed bloody murder if anyone said boo to this? Disagree with what they TELL YOU TO DO, and this is the result.
This is nothing less than desiring and try to wield Total Control and Power: do as we tell you to do or we’ll toss you aside.
And make examples of you. The new Jews and we’re right back to the 1930s.
And remember, it was FDR that turned away a whole ship of Jews that were trying to flee Hitler’s Germany.
And yet, on our Southern Border, Democrats are all about letting anyone in with no vaccination papers at all.

One hundred and thirty-five House Republicans have voted in favor of legislation that includes red flag gun confiscation provisions. “A provision in the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act would allow military courts to issue protective orders that include “Red Flag” gun confiscation.”
According to American Military News,
In the legislation, those beholden to the United States Code of Military Justice could be issued a “military court protective order” by a military judge or magistrate, which would make “possessing, receiving, or otherwise accessing a firearm” illegal.
You might say, well, that’s just people in the military. You mean people who swore to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all threats, foreign and domestic. Why would a Government want to disarm them, I wonder?
Having trained them to be efficient at war and most if not all forms of combat before any real leap toward a lasting despotism of the elite, it might not be a bad idea to deprive these potential irritants of their firearms. But not just them.
Gun Owners of America (GOA), a pro-Second Amendment gun rights advocacy group, warned the military gun confiscation orders could provide lawmakers with a precedent to extend the rule to the general population.
“Like the proverbial camel’s nose in the tent, allowing this provision to remain in a bill pertaining to the military will eventually work its way into legislation applying to the rest of the population,” GOA wrote. “That’s why we need to raise our voices in unison against these gun confiscation orders.”
Yes, it would set a precedent, and yes, the gun-grabbers would try to expand it at the earliest opportunity. They are not even shy about that. Their candidates for president run on it these days. So, you might also wonder, why would 135 Republicans vote for this? Folks like Dan Crenshaw, Matt Gaetz,
They either didn’t know it was in there, or they did, neither of which is acceptable.
This is a nationwide grant to confiscate firearms without concern for due process or property rights and an incremental assault on second, fourth, and fifth amendment rights.

The post 135 House Republicans Just Voted for a National Red Flag Law appeared first on Granite Grok.
Not only this “lady” but also our current Vice President, Kamala “Toes Up” Harris, made it quite clear that BECAUSE the approved (Emergency, standard) viruses were developed by the Trump Administration showering Big Pharma with billions of dollars under Operation Warp Speed, they were to be shunned:
Kamala Harris Says She Wouldn’t Trust a Vaccine Trump Recommended
Citing the Trump administration’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kamala Harris said that she’d happily take a vaccine that doctors and scientists recommend — but absolutely not one touted by Donald Trump. Asked at Wednesday’s vice-presidential debate whether she would take a vaccine approved by the Trump administration before or after the election, Harris said she’d be the “first in line” to take the vaccine if health experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci recommended it.
“If the public health professionals, if Dr. Fauci, if the doctors tell us that we should take it, I’ll be the first in line to take it, absolutely. But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I’m not taking it,” Harris said.
Oh, back to Barbara:
And this is the common refrain. What’s the difference?
Only the letter that follows after a President’s name. The Party affiliation seems to be the ONLY important indicator as to whether a vaccine is good or not. The same drug company, pretty much the same formulation, same delivery protocols.
So the Jabs are now A-OK but you’re the absolute scum of the earth if you don’t get the vaccine – now. How times have flipped.
So how CAN anyone, nowadays, still say with a straight face (and not crossed fingers behind their backs) that the vaccine is NOT a political event? Their own words say the obvious – it simply is.
But not only are we crouching towards a Post-God and a Post-Constitution Society, we’re also leaping to a Post-Truth one as well. Truth has, in large part, become Political as well and there is little middle ground when Truth remains Objective (absolute values) by the Right and Subjective (ever changing on the political needs) by the Left.
But make no mistake – the Vax IS Political whether the Left sees that Truth or not.

Biden’s approval ratings are underwater, and he’s losing everyone or losing ground. Afghanistan, the Southern Border, just opening his mouth. It’s not pretty. Kamala is rumored to have mentioned the 25th amendment. I wonder how Neil Wetherbee feels about all this?
Neil is a Democrat. He has pulled Democrat primary ballots in successive Federal elections. Neil was a Bernie fan in 2016 and endorsed Pete Buttigieg in 2020. We assume he voted Biden in 2020 at least once.
Is he losing hope for Biden? Unhappy with his failures? How does this fake republican trying to steal a NH House seat feel bout the humanitarian crisis in Del Rio?
Does it concern him at all?
He’s down 14 points with young people, 12 points with women, but more importantly, 14 points with Democrats. Lean Dems are down 21 points, and Independents are down 12.
Fake republican Neil Wetherbee could be any one of them, and they are all losing faith.
Maybe someone should ask fake republicanNeil Wetherbee which of these best represents his view. Or are we to believe that he’s closer to the lean republican polling with only 13% approval?
Which of these are prepared to sell to get elected?

Here’s a more in-depth link:
The Left Discovers It Loves Evictions as Florida Landlord Challenges DeSantis by Evicting Unvaccinated Tenants – Flopping Aces
Still think it’s about the “science”? No, this is a religion. Not sure about that? Just replace “not vaccinated” with “non-Christian” or “non-Muslim” or “non-<religion of choice>” and see how that tastes. Just as one can convert to being a Christian by accepting Jesus Christ into your heart, or a Muslim by reciting the Shahada, one can become a Covidian by accepting the Sacramental Jab.
It’s also a never-ending, ever-metastasizing profit stream. Not content with every adult, Fausti is predicting kids will be “eligible” – joy oh joy – in October.
But wait, there’s more. Apparently, house pets can have Covid, so it’s forever-shots for Fluffy and Rover. But there’s still more. It’s also zoo animals. Horses… and dolphins. (That last brings up a killer whale that I heard died a month or so back from an unknown “respiratory problem”… hmmmm.) Will we have to chase down deer too? And add in sheep, alligators, and tigers, plus chimps and gorillas.
Never mind the impossibility of the above, what this means is that there are significant and myriad animal reservoirs. So, unlike Smallpox, this will never go away. Never. (And I don’t believe Smallpox is gone either, actually. Shudder if it makes a comeback with its ~30% CFR.)
Neither, of course, will the revenue stream from the Jab boosters for the coming infinite variants end, or the parallel pills being developed to go alongside the injections. Having gotten billions brainwashed and hooked on their products, it’s a never-ending revenue stream. Never mind the coming twice-daily pills in addition to the vaccine.
$33+ billion in revenue, just at Pfizer, just in 2021, will not just buy politicians… but scientists and doctors. People I know who work for Pfizer are starry-eyed faithful, doubtless salivating at their profit-sharing checks.

Going through my casual daily reading, I stumbled on this article with this paragraph (bolding added):
The bills set a dangerous precedent for state government usurpation of local control. If local municipalities cannot decide for themselves how they want to zone and for what type of housing they want to zone, what’s next? Will the state government tell us where we can live or who will live in our homes with our families?
So, please recall this video, which I included here:
Note what the speaker says about “Communalka” – the government placing other people to live in your home. If you don’t own, and thus control, your property… you have no property.
Say, what did the Great Reset people say? “You’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy”. Yes?

In my post Fear is the Mind Killer… I discussed fear, specifically, and its use by aspiring tyrants. While browsing and collecting memes I saw this concept, which I’ve edited a little:
Nine Types of Manipulation
Do any of these sound familiar to you? My count in this relentless, obsessive drive to push a needle into every arm is NINE OUT OF NINE.
Few things, in my opinion, get people hotter than when they grasp to their core they’ve been played. Like the anger shown by Londo Molari in the TV scifi series Babylon 5 when he realized he’d been masterfully manipulated.
The same lesson holds true for our side gaining red-pilled allies. If you can – somehow! – get people to grasp they’ve been played and their minds used to further another’s aim, then in that anger people will be open to new information.
An idea for a tactic – just blossomed as I was editing this. Clip and email this nine-point list to Covidians you know, and particular those who are reluctant (e.g., I got the Jab only so I could keep my job). Ask them if they agree with this list, and if yes, then… hit them, point by point, with examples of how the relentless obsession with Jabs has used every single one of these. I intend to try this.
The post Quick Takes – Hat Trick appeared first on Granite Grok.
This is a follow-up to my prior guest op-ed submission to Granite Grok regarding the riskiness of these so-called “vaccines.”
=====
First, from this post at SurakBlog: on the danger of the so-called vaccine.
Here are the latest numbers from VAERS, current as of September 17, 2021.
- CoVID injection deaths so far this year are 69% higher than all vaccines combined back to 1988.
- CoVID injection deaths so far this year number 5.1 times the number of people murdered on 9/11.
- CoVID injection deaths so far this year number 32 times the average annual death toll from vaccines from 2017 to 2020.
- Permanent disabilities from CoVID injections now outnumber permanent disabilities from all vaccines combined back to 1988, now joining deaths, life-threatening events, and birth defects in that dubious distinction.
- Hospitalizations from CoVID injections jumped about 10% in the past week, very alarming.
DO YOU NOTICE ANYTHING “ODD” ABOUT THE NUMBER OF ADVERSE VACCINE EFFECTS IN 2021? LIKE “SOMETHING CHANGED” IN 2021? WHAT COULD THAT POSSIBLY BE?

Children and young people remain at low risk of COVID-19 mortality
Study: Children less likely to catch, spread COVID-19
And remember, per an Israeli study, natural immunity kicks butt. More broadly, do children need to get sick (an earlier op-ed submission of mine):
Do Kids Need to Get Sick?
I argued, yes – yes they do, especially from corona viruses. Better they get sick now, and recover as virtually all will, than catch such things later on. And if you are a parent who has gotten sick from what kids bring home from day care or school, you know precisely what I mean. They shrug off colds that knock parents flat. Supporting my assertions is this piece from the BBC:
Fliss Bennee, co-chair of the government’s technical advisory cell, said children had suffered “unproportionally” in the pandemic by losing out on education and play.
She added: “We are also aware that there is a harm that builds up from not being able to have social interaction that leads to the development of barrier immunity from exposure to other infection diseases.”
If you actually cared about your kids you’d work to get them to get Covid now, and then they have long-lasting, better protection than anything “science” can give them.

Idaho doctor reports a ‘20 times increase’ of cancer in vaccinated patients
Dr. Ryan Cole, a board-certified pathologist and owner and operator of a diagnostics lab, reported to the public in a video produced by Idaho state government’s “Capitol Clarity” project, that he is seeing a massive ‘uptick’ in various autoimmune diseases and cancers in patients who have been vaccinated.
He also speaks about the critical role Vitamin D plays, and mentions this choice nugget:
Cole also mentions that the federal government cannot legally approve a vaccine if there is an alternative treatment of a disease.
And now, look at results in nursing homes in Spain that successfully treated Covid. Let me repeat: in the elderly. Read the whole thing.
Folks, think about this long and hard: In the worst-case scenario for those who this virus should have killed — it killed nobody. It should be killing statistically nobody today — right here, right now. How to prevent it from doing so was discovered in March and April of 2020 and intentionally ignored worldwide.
…
The answer to the problem — to Covid-19 — was known in March and April of 2020 and yet not published until January of this year, and even then not one single bit of media attention nor a single mention from Fauci, the CDC, the NIH or FDA has been made, all in the interest of Moderna and Pfizer’s stock prices and the power-mad jackasses on an international basis — at the cost of your loved ones’ lives.
This year Pfizer alone will rack up over 30 billion rea$ons why the above information was ignored.
Following up on Cole’s earlier video, which I had in my first post, is a thread with lots of autopsy pictures showing lots of tissue inflammation from the spike proteins. And while this is long, it’s got a lot of information too about the development of this stuff, plus things that were overlooked in the rush to get it into peoples’ arms.
An Epidemiologist Speaks Out About the Vax
With a partial transcript here. One quote:
https://granitegrok.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/are-you-getting-the-vaccine.mp4They’ve not been safety tested, the vaccines. They provide no opportunity for benefit for children, only potential opportunity for harms — and we are seeing the harms that have emerged and the CDC’s various database and the adverse events, the deaths, this is a very serious issue. And children have a natural protection that, if we bypass it and we inject into the arm, we could get levels of death occurring in children the United States similar to what we’re seeing in the adults reporting in the CDC’s adverse database, which only captures 1%.

With a partial transcript here (different video, so words may not match precisely, but same guy saying the same thing). Excerpt:
But here’s where the problem comes. In a virus, in a Coronavirus, that spike protein becomes part of the viral capsule. In other words, the cell wall around the virus, called the viral capsule. But it’s not in the virus. It’s in your cells. So it therefore becomes part of the cell wall of your vascular endothelium. Which means that these cells that line your blood vessels, which are supposed to be smooth so that blood flows smoothly, now have these little spikey bits sticking out.
So it is absolutely inevitable that blood clots will form. Because your blood platelets circulate around in your blood vessels. And the purpose of blood platelets is to detect a damaged vessel and block that vessel to stop bleeding. So when the platelet comes through the capillary, it suddenly hits all these all these Covid spikes that are jutting into the inside of the vessel, it is absolutely inevitable that a blood clot will form to block that vessel. That’s how platelets work.
…
But once you block off a significant number of blood vessels to your lungs, your heart is now pumping against a much greater resistance to try and get the blood through your lungs. And the problem….so that causes a condition called Pulmonary Artery Hypertension.
It’s actually like high blood pressure in your lungs because the blood can’t get through because so many of the vessels are blocked. And the terrifying thing of this is that people with Pulmonary Artery Hypertension usually die of right sided heart failure within three years. So the huge concern about the mechanism of injury is that these shots are causing permanent damage. And the worse is yet to come. Because, you know, there are some tissues in your body like the intestine, liver and kidney that can regenerate to quite a good degree but brain, and spinal cord, and heart muscle and lungs do not. When they are damaged, its permanent. Like all these young people who are now getting Myocarditis from these shots, they have permanently damaged hearts.
Let me see – a risk of permanently damaged hearts, lungs, and brains, versus a disease that virtually all kids are proven to throw off. Is that trade-off really that hard? Corroboration of the above by a Ph.D. infectious disease scientist:
Nicki Minaj: the 2021 Paul Revere
Truth is that the creators of the COVID-19 vaccines assumed the contents of the vaccine to remain in the muscular tissue where they were injected. This assumption was incorrect and has been confirmed by a study conducted by a Japanese regulatory agency that proves that the vaccine contents enter the bloodstream and travel to the various organs. Results revealed that lab animals injected with the vaccine mRNA spike protein into their “bloodstream developed cardiovascular problems, and the spike protein was also demonstrated to cross the blood brain barrier and cause damage to the brain.” What does this mean? That there is scientific confirmation that the Pfizer lipid nanoparticle carrier system allows for molecules to leave the site of injection, enter the circulatory system, and then collect in organs and tissues, including but not limited to the spleen, bone marrow, the liver, adrenal glands, and the ovaries.

It looks like COVID is almost over! Both Brazil and India confirm early treatment solutions and medical freedom are the answers. And specifically, not requiring the COVID vaccines.

If you like, go to the data at Worldometers.info/coronavirus. Click India, Brazil, and the USA. Scroll down to the active case and daily death graphs in each country.
Brazil and India look the same, with active cases disappearing and daily deaths decreasing.
Brazil currently has 4% of the USA’s active cases, India has 3% of the USA’s active cases.
The USA active cases are increasing and are currently at an all-time high, at more than half the world’s active cases. Deaths in the USA are also growing. These graphs are startling.
When COVID began, it may have seemed like a good case for a globalist government since viruses travel everywhere. However, if the authoritarians in WHO, China, or the USA were entirely in charge, we would never have learned what India and Brazil have now demonstrated.
We are clearly getting inferior medical/health treatment here in the USA, along with our highest medical costs in the world. We need to accommodate and encourage early treatments of COVID and not allow these treatments to be suppressed, as our medical and government authorities have been doing. We also need to insist on a better job of documenting vaccine injury and making such information public and transparent.
Finally, we need to deal with the perpetrators of the COVID frauds and create a new and less counterproductive healthcare system. Both are difficult tasks. Live Free or Die!

Planned Parenthood is promoting “Rally for Abortion Justice” events organized by the Women’s March and being held around New Hampshire and the country on Saturday, October 2.
Rally for Abortion Justice events on 10/2: These rallies are a demonstration of our collective uprising lead by Granite Staters who have been, and are continuing to fight to defend access to abortion care.
Planned Parenthood is furious about the 6-week abortion ban in Texas and the 24-week abortion ban in New Hampshire, as well as the recent denial of family planning contracts for Planned Parenthood by the NH Executive Council.
Related: New Hampshire Blocks Taxpayer Funding For Planned Parenthood
Many will be at these rallies demanding that New Hampshire return to allowing abortion until birth for any reason and that abortions should be paid for by the taxpayers.
I expect a lot of Nashua state reps as well as Nashua State Senator Cindy Rosenwald and former Nashua State Senator Melanie Levesque will attend the Nashua rally. They believe abortion is the best thing that ever happened to women. We will be there with signs in support of protecting mothers and babies from the scourge of abortion.
