If you’d forgotten, the State of Florida impaneled a Grand Jury to determine “whether pharmaceutical companies and other medical organizations engaged in criminal activity or wrongdoing’ in their participation in the rollout of COVID-19 “vaccines.” They’ve released their first interim report.
We don’t have details on any criminal activity by big pharma yet, but don’t be surprised if further reports find a connection. The most recent release tells us that based on the Grand Jury Investigation, most, if not all, of the things you’ve been saying, reporting, or sharing about masks, distancing, lockdowns, and hospitalization are true.
We knew you knew, and we also know the folks clinging bitterly to their non-pharmaceutical interventions will say something like, this is from Florida, so it doesn’t matter. It does. The report makes time to address the makeup of the Grand Jury (random selection, like any jury) and explain their approach and process. Let’s say it appears they were more thorough than the FDA.
For reporting context, they explain cooperation issues, safety, efficiency, and the five levels of risk, including infection, hospitalization, and death. The report discusses pandemic modeling and pharmaceutical interventions, the problems with lockdowns, masks, and distancing. There’s a good bit of actual science in there, so our more progressive lurkers might want to stay away. It could damage your pandemic paradigm.
You should read it, but to generalize, lockdowns appear to have done more harm than good (surprise!). Masks, almost impossible to be worn correctly by the average Jane or Joe, did not prevent infection or spread (sort of like the COVID-19 vaccine, eh?), and while N95s were capable of some good, multiple potentials for failure likely made them useless. If you recall, we reported on OSHA rules that required training for mandating N95 and K95 masks in a workplace (ignored, of course) and how, even then, the avenues for failure were enormous.
The report also does a great job on two other points. A full review of infection and hospitalization data suggests inflation on both counts. In other words, as you suspected, the data was so incomplete as to be incapable of meaning. This problem also plagued the data on the risk to children, who were never at risk, as was often reported based solely on the skewed data provided by states. You could see it but somehow they could not.
To summarize, this is another repudiation of the experts who ignored their own science in nearly every respect.
As for their effect on overall SARS-CoV-2 risk, we cannot ignore the fact that these NPIs were not administered based on the best available scientific data. In fact, many public health recommendations and their attendant mandates departed significantly from scientific research that was contemporaneously available to everyone: Individuals, scientists, corporations, and governments alike. Often, this research was ignored by institutional policymakers. Occasionally it was even attacked. It is a sad state of affairs when something as simple as following the science constitutes an act of heresy, but here we are. Importantly, while some of these NPIs may have shifted risk to later in time or from one group to another or had some speculative efficacy against viral spread when used in perfect laboratory conditions, comparative evidence suggests they did not significantly change the overall risk profile presented by the SARS-CoV-2 virus in terms of excess death, especially once collateral consequences are taken into consideration.
The Grand Jury will release additional reports as investigations develop or are completed.

After watching the various townsfolk berate Select Board member Lannie Collins for speaking in opposition to fellow board member Ally Tufinkjian’s praising the Drag Queen Story Hour that was attempted to be held in downtown White River Junction, it was incumbent upon me to defend Mr. Collins.
Professor Wilfred C. Reilly of Kentucky State University has chronicled over three hundred hate crime hoaxes since the turn of the century (2000) in his book Hate Crime Hoaxes: How the Left Is Selling a Fake Race War. The critical piece of his discovery? The supposed victims are the ones committing the hate crimes against themselves.
This practice has come to be known as “stochastic terrorism,” which is a random type of terrorism perpetrated by those in the leftist movement to either scare or, conversely, curry sympathy and favor from those outside of it. For what it’s worth, Professor Reilly is black, which is why he speaks out against groups like Black Lives Matter for using minorities as easily manipulated pawns in their Marxist culture war game.
Also chronicling fake hate crimes is the aptly named fakehatecrimes.org website. Here, you can find nearly five hundred reported hate crime hoaxes and who ultimately perpetrated them. Some examples include a black woman who wrote threatening notes and painted KKK on houses in her neighborhood; activist group CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) falsely tweeted out a man was struck by a car of Israelis yelling “kill all Palestinians” when in fact he’d been beaten by his brother; BLM and Antifa activists committing arson while trying to frame the Proud Boys for it; LGBTQ activists on MIT campus hoaxing hatred to counter the school’s free speech policy; gay man found throwing bricks at a gay bar in the act of revenge rather than an anti-LGBTQ hate crime as reported.
The list goes on and on and on…
Many of us in independent media have known about these tactics now for years, however the good people of Hartford tend to live quiet lives and likely don’t take the time to investigate these things, nor are they particularly suspicious in general. Despite the activists in town pushing for Hartford to become more “inclusive” and “accepting,” I don’t know anyone in Hartford who wasn’t exactly both of those, hence the need to speak up. It may be the perfect small Vermont town for them to run their agenda for this very reason.
Which is why the bomb hoax that was obscured by an encrypted Russian server from whom the hoax emails came needed to be addressed. It very well could have been someone opposed to drag queens reading to children (and Target’s Pride Month controversy); however, the assumption that it was, which led to people bashing Mr. Collins as “insensitive” and using “poor timing,” needed to be addressed given the data. The opposite was more likely the case – someone sympathetic to DQSH employed the terror tactic to manipulate allies in town to clutch their pearls and make a blanket accusation against anyone willing to voice their disapproval of men dressed as hyper-sexualized women reading to children.
Collins’s simple rejoinder to Tufinkjian, “Not everyone in town thought it was a positive experience,” didn’t even denounce the event but merely stated a fact. Tufinkjian reveals her activism per children on her personal website with quotes like “disrupt them” and her commitment to “reflexive praxis,” which is a woke term for essentially programming children into Marxism, parents’ wishes be damned. Of course, she considered it positive.
However, events that elicit bomb threats are obviously not going to be viewed universally as positive, even for those not choosing a side. Yet the activist class seizes on these opportunities to usurp “righteousness” and flip the denunciations on anyone who may object. In this case, it was Mr. Collins who was verbally abused by the townsfolk for the mere act of speaking on behalf of other town members equally concerned for children. I told them they owed him an apology. They still do.
As for the drag queens, I shared photographic evidence of them presenting themselves online almost exclusively in a sexual context. Emoji Nightmare’s YouTube channel includes a burlesque version of “Boot Scootin’ Boogy,” where Katniss and another woman either partially disrobe or otherwise offer sexually suggestive takes. Another video from Emoji is simply titled “Pictures of your d**k”. Virtually none of their online content is child-friendly, in fact it’s the opposite. The parents in Hartford need to be made aware, given children are now becoming a predator class across the pond in the UK, where DQSH is also popular.
Furthermore, based on the Sexual Grooming Model presented by Psychology Today, it categorically is sexual grooming of children. To wit:
Stage 2: Gaining Access and Isolation
Stage 3: Trust Development
Stage 4: Desensitization to Sexual Content and Physical Contact
Lastly, the activists in town trotted out the term “hate speech” both in person and on the town’s Facebook page. This, of course, satisfies the narrative that people want to bomb them and silence an innocent group simply trying to engage children to read. I felt it necessary to remind the town that hate speech is constitutionally protected in our country and, in fact, needed. No doubt people in the room have felt comfortable voicing their hatred for Donald Trump, the war in Ukraine, anti-semitism or what-have-you. I’m sure if someone proposed a Nazi Story Hour or Wife Beaters Story Hour, the requisite voices of denunciation would emerge faster than you could stuff a ballot box.
So, in the spirit of protected hate speech, I offered to them the things I hate as they related to the matter. They are:
I know for a fact I am not alone in the town of Hartford for hating these vile practices. New Select Board members will be voted in this March 5th, which can’t come soon enough.

Now that Joe has been publicly deemed unfit for testimony – making him unfit for office (which I think was deliberate) – the crat is out of the bag. Everyone can accept that the plan was to replace Joe before the November Election. It’s not a hard guess to make, honestly.
Joe was a mess in 2020. Kamala was a strategic choice to keep the DNC from replacing him sooner. But her political shelf-life expired then and there, which might be the one good thing the Bidens did for America. Harris will not be on the November ticket either, so who is? How will it happen? Who will get anointed, and when?
The J6 commission was a Hollywood-produced, made-for-TV miniseries with less credibility than most -so-called reality television. The DNC Convention will be much the same—a performance written by Hollywood writers and producers, directed like a major motion picture. The wise leader will pass the torch to someone else after his adoring fans anoint him (the appearance of choice) because of (mental) health reasons. He’s just too old for this anymore.
I would not be surprised if they rolled Joe out in a wheelchair with a male nurse.
But the Dems have to overcome a host of hurdles (messes) left behind by Biden and the Obama minions who created it, and the White House Social Behavioral and Science Team (The Nudge Unit) is likely hard at work sculpting the appearance of choice for Democrats and America that will be easy to swallow. Some say Newsom is likely a replacement, and more recently, it will be Michelle Obama. Despite her hatred of DC, she will take one for the team and finish what Barry started.
Whatever the decision, Democrat leadership never planned to make a change before the Convention (if it could be helped), and they will do everything they can to keep Joe upright for fear of a President Kamala. Harris would be worse for the Presidential election and every down-ticket seat. It would be a wipeout.
Joe could die, and they would say he was in a coma. Arrange prayer vigils as if depopulation secular humanists pray for life. Obama’s minions would continue to ruin the country while Kamal was locked down and kept out of the public eye as much as possible. Taped, highly scripted, and edited messages might be workable until the Convention.
Not that this will be a problem. I think Joe will make it to his finish line—the DNC convention, after which he will be expected to do very little as a degenerating lame duck. Eat ice cream. Sniff children. Take naps. His replacement will get all the attention.
Michelle Obama could put a fire under Democrats and might stop the electoral bleeding among black voters, but almost no one else will like the choice. The Obama years were not economically promising, and the economy is the biggest issue, so the left has a problem. Not to replace Biden but with whom. There are no Democrats who have a good record on the economy. And success will depend not so much on the person as the story. And it might not be one where Joe’s replacement can “take up Joe’s legacy.” His legacy sucks.
So, here’s where you come in. Who does the DNC choose and why? And while we are speculating, who does the new Democrat candidate pick as a running mate?

I have been writing about the illegal Chinese Pot Farms in Central Maine for months. I have been trying to raise awareness of this dangerous situation in our backyard. These Chinese Cartel operations not only involve drugs but possibly human and sex trafficking.
I commend The Maine Wire, which has been at the forefront of this assault by Chinese nationals buying Maine properties to operate illegal drug operations not only to grow but also to export marijuana to Canada and other parts of the United States. They have been ringing the bell loudly and forcing other media outlets in the Pine Tree State to get on board. The problem has gotten worse, and maybe this will be the element that will get Mainers angry enough to demand action. The Maine Wire discovered and first reported that many properties owned by the Chinese Cartel were bought with money from a U.S. government program to assist foreign nationals to purchase property or start a business in America. To bottom line that statement, our tax dollars are funding the Chinese Pot Growers.
This Chinese operation is not unique to Maine. It is known that over 3,000 Chinese owned marijuana farms exist in California, Washington, Oklahoma, and Maine. Other states may be involved, but these are the hot spots today. Over 300 sites have been identified in Maine. Maine has liberal marijuana laws that allow the sale and use of marijuana for adult recreational purposes. This blurs the line on what is and isn’t legal, takes the attention of law enforcement away from marijuana, and places it more on Fentanyl and other narcotics. The four members of Maine’s federal delegation have been pleading for help from Merrick Garland and the Justice Department, but their pleas remain unanswered.
The Maine Wire has discovered a source for some of the funds used to purchase these Maine properties, and nobody should be pleased with their findings. Many property records indicated the funding originated from the Quontic Bank, a New York-based CDFI. Two Quontic loan officers, Steven Ho and Yang-Chan Weng, handled many of the Maine and Oklahoma transactions. These two targeted the Chinese immigrant community. CDFI was initially created by Congress in 1994 to help low-income immigrants access financing to purchase homes. COVID-19 saw the CDFI program enhanced with additional funds, and that money was used to finance homes in Maine that have become pot farms. That is U.S. taxpayer funds used to finance foreign-owned and operated illegal drug operations. Seventy of the Maine properties identified were financed using CDFI funding.
This is a very complex issue that many levels of government and agencies have facilitated. Maine made recreational use of marijuana legal, which changed the focus of law enforcement on pot usage. The Treasury Department made money available for banks to finance a substantial percentage of these illegal properties, and the Justice Department, Merrick Garland, and DHS have turned a blind eye to Maine’s issue. This complex issue will require Mainers to rise and demand the eradication of these illegal operations and the accountability they deserve from those involved.
