Alex Berenson, Unreported Truths: URGENT: The most powerful evidence yet that mRNA vaccines hurt long-term immunity to Covid after infection
Unvaccinated people are much more likely to develop broad antibody immunity after Covid infections than people who have received mRNA shots, a new study shows.
The gap remains large whether people had mild, moderate, or severe Covid infections, the study showed - undercutting a crucial argument that vaccine advocates have made to defend the shots.
The research draws on data from Moderna’s 30,000-person clinical trial for its mRNA shots. It may help explain why so many Americans now suffer multiple Covid infections, sometimes within months.
Researchers already knew that many vaccinated people do not gain antibodies to the entire coronavirus after they are infected with Covid.
Unvaccinated people nearly always gain antibodies to the nucleocapsid protein, which covers the virus’s core of RNA, as well as its spike protein, which allows the virus to attack our cells. Vaccinated people often lack those anti-nucleocapsid antibodies and only have spike protein antibodies.
—
Vaccine advocates claim the lack of nucleocapsid antibodies may occur because the mRNA shots prime people to fight off the Covid infections more quickly and have lower viral loads. In this view, the narrow immune response is a feature, not a bug - vaccinated people are less seriously infected and so do not need to generate anti-nucleocapsid antibodies.
This study essentially demolishes that theory.
Scientists from the National Institutes of Health and Moderna quietly posted the paper a month ago as a pre-print, but it has received little attention despite its import.
The researchers examined the development of anti-nucleocapsid antibodies in people who had been part of Moderna’s clinical trial and were infected with Covid. As they expected, the scientists found that the vaccinated people were far less likely to develop the anti-nucleocapsid antibodies. Only 40 percent of people who received the shots had antibodies, compared to 93 percent of those who did not.

Mark Wauck, Meaning in History: Wheels Starting To Come Off?
Signs continue to come in that the US led war on Russia is turning out to be a typical Neocon disaster, and that the scramble for an off ramp is increasing in intensity. For starters, and beyond the surrender in Azovstal (which is turning out to involve many more Ukro-Nazis that previously thought), the Russian advance in the Donbass appears to be gaining momentun, with Ukrainian troops surrendering in increasing numbers and some units refusing to fight. This is a function of large numbers of poorly trained and inexperienced personnel being pushed to the front without adequate support and weaponry. The Russians have concentrated on supply lines to good effect.
Regarding that off ramp … there may not be one.

Jeff Carlson 1) Elias says he was worried about FBI involvement but the actions of Fusion GPS - the firm that Elias testified he personally hired - tells a very different story. 2) In June 2016, Steele began to reach out to the FBI through Michael Gaeta, an FBI agent and assistant legal attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Rome. Gaeta was also Steele's FBI handler.
On July 5, 2016, Gaeta traveled to London and met with Steele at the offices of Steele’s firm. 3) After nearly a month, it seems that Steele and Simpson decided to pursue a new channel into the FBI, through then-Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr.
Steele had already been in contact with Bruce Ohr via email in early 2016. 4) Ohr testified that Steele relayed information from his dossier at this meeting and claimed that “a former head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service" said they "had Donald Trump over a barrel.” 5) Steele also referenced Deripaska’s business dealings with Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and foreign policy adviser Carter Page’s meetings in Moscow.
Ohr noted that Steele told him he had been in contact with the FBI but now had additional reports. 6) Immediately following Ohr’s meeting with Steele, Ohr reached out to Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and the two met in McCabe’s office in early August.
Also present - Lisa Page.
Ohr testified he wanted the FBI to have the information and be aware of his meeting w/Steele. 7) On Aug. 22, Ohr had a meeting with Simpson.
"I knew that Chris Steele was working for Glenn Simpson, and that Glenn might have additional information.”
Ohr testified that Simpson mentioned Sergei Millian, Michael Cohen, Carter Page, and Paul Manafort during their meeting. 8) On Sept. 23, 2016, Ohr again met with Steele:
“Steele was in Washington, D.C., again, and he reached out to me, and, again, we met for breakfast, and he provided some additional information.” 9) These meetings w/Ohr worked.
The FBI had reached out to Steele in late September, asking him for the information in his possession.
The team working on “Crossfire Hurricane” received documents and a briefing from Steele shortly thereafter. 10) In either late September or early October, Ohr had a meeting w/Strzok, Lisa Page, and two or three DOJ career officials from the criminal division: Bruce Swartz, Zainab Ahmad, and Andrew Weissman.
(Ohr testified he was unsure whether Weismann was at this or a later meeting). 11) Sometime prior to the election, Simpson gave parts of the dossier to Mother Jones reporter David Corn - who was friends w/FBI's James Baker.
Corn provided these copies to Baker:
"some of the parts that David Corn gave us were parts that we did not have from another source" 12) Baker said of Corn: “Even though he was my friend, I was also an FBI official. He knew that. And so he wanted to somehow get that into the hands of the FBI.” 13) All of these data points are aside from Sussmann's direct push of the fabricated Alfa Bank info to FBI's Baker.
Elias claims he was worried about FBI involvement.
But Fusion GPS, the firm Elias hired, worked diligently to push Steele’s info into the FBI.

Epoch Times: Indiana House Owner Fatally Shoots 2 Intruders, Holds 2 More at Gunpoint Until Police Arrive
A homeowner in northeastern Indiana woke up to the sound of his dog barking early on Monday and got face-to-face with a group of burglars who demanded money and other belongings from him, according to reports.
The unidentified homeowner said the night was really dark and he was able to grab his shotgun. He opened fire at the intruders, fatally shooting two of the thieves.
The deceased pair has since been identified as Rameica Moore, 36, of Fort Wayne, and Dylan Morefield, 22, of Churubusco, according to court records cited by news agency WPTA.
A third individual, identified as 42-year-old Tabitha Johnson, surrendered and was escorted out of the residence by the homeowner. A fourth person, identified as 42-year-old Shaun Kruse, was waiting outside of the house in DeKalb County as a lookout man.
Kruse was then forced to dial 911 after the homeowner confronted him with Johnson at gunpoint.

Michael Smith, Unlicensed Punditry: When Democrats Say "White", They Mean "Western"
It is pretty damn racist to assume skin color equates to a certain political affinity.
Biden claimed, "If you don't vote for me, you ain't black."
You just have to understand that when Democrats say "white", they mean "Western", as in Western civilization and Western culture.
They hate Western civilization because it is not culture, race or status dependent. When anyone and everyone can participate and succeed, it makes generation of class conflict far more difficult.
This is why they continue to try to destroy it.
That's why the obsessive focus on race, on something we are powerless to change, is visually obvious and easy to use to separate people.
I get that white, Christian men of European descent are out of favor these days - along with Western civilization - but the combination of those things ended slavery, invented the automobile (credited to Karl Benz in 1885) and in less than a century took mankind from riding horses to walking on the moon. Mankind went from candles to total electrification in even less time.

Nick Arama, RedState: Twitter Exec Steps in it Big Time With Remarks About Musk in Latest Project Veritas Video
Project Veritas dropped a video from a senior Twitter engineer on Monday that was damning — showing bias and censorship on the platform. The engineer, Siru Murugesan, said that the employees were “super left, left, left, left, left,” “Commie as f**k,” and admitted that they were censoring the right more than the left.
However, that wasn’t the only video that they dropped. They released another one capturing a Twitter executive, Alex Martinez — who they identify as a “lead client partner” — saying that they believe in something that’s “good for the planet” and not just to “give people free speech.”
Twitter executive calling Elon Musk mentally handicapped, "special" and saying he has "aspergers."

This Twitter exec goes on to say that Twitter is "not here to give people free speech" @elonmusk is going to want to see this one too…pic.twitter.com/dQZamaLiC8
Martinez’s remarks are a great window into the psychology of the leftists who have been in control of Twitter. He says that Elon Musk is going to have a hard time responding if he’s asked why he’s taking down the disinformation policies Twitter has in place. Martinez mocked Musk, mimicking what he thought he might reply: “Uh, because people should make their own decisions.” Then countered: “But people don’t know how to make a rational decision if you don’t put out the correct things that are supposed to be out in the public.” How pretentious is that? We can’t decide unless they tell us what to think?

Independent Journal Review: Gen. Flynn Makes His Move: 'I Don't Give a Crap, I'm Going After These People'
Lt. Gen Michael Flynn is warning the FBI and the U.S. Deptartment of Justice that he is coming for them by filing a lawsuit seeking $50 million in damages for “malicious prosecution” related to the discredited Russia collusion crusade.
Flynn, who was briefly President Donald Trump’s national security advisor until the corrupt FBI began persecuting him, has filed a civil lawsuit seeing $5 million in property damages and an additional $45 million in personal injury for the years-long persecution for allegedly lying to the FBI — a charge he has steadfastly denied.
The general says he is coming for the FBI, including former chief Jim Comey, and all the way up to former President Obama, who directed the DOJ to persecute Flynn just before Donald Trump took office.
Flynn appeared on “The Absolute Truth with Emerald Robinson” on Tuesday to put his antagonists on notice that he is coming for them.
“I have gone back into the Department of Justice to let them know, to put them on notice, that I am going to sue these people — I don’t give a crap about the money … to let them know I’m not going to sit on my laurels, and do ‘woe is me,’ and wring my hands. That we are going to go after these people. And we actually filed, very quietly, an intention to sue the Department of Justice, all of these people, from Jim Comey up to President Obama.”

Sarah N. Lynch, Reuters: Prosecutors say lawyer used clout to plant damaging information on Trump with FBI
WASHINGTON, May 17 (Reuters) - Federal prosecutors on Tuesday sought to portray an attorney who formerly worked for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign as a privileged, high-powered person who abused his connections with the FBI in a bid to harm former President Donald Trump's campaign just weeks before the election.
In opening arguments in a federal court in Washington, prosecutor Brittain Shaw told a jury that attorney Michael Sussmann misled the FBI about who he represented when he met with the bureau's top lawyer on Sept. 19, 2016, to provide a tip alleging internet communications between Trump's business and a Russian bank.
The allegations were investigated and later discredited.
"The evidence will show that this is a case about privilege - the privilege of a well-connected D.C. lawyer with access to the highest levels of the FBI," Shaw said, adding that Sussmann abused his connections to "use the FBI as a political tool."
The case against Sussmann is being led by Special Counsel John Durham, who was appointed by then-Attorney General William Barr in 2019 to probe any missteps in the FBI's investigation into whether Trump's campaign was colluding with Russia.

Epoch Times: EXCLUSIVE: Key NIH Research Executive Received 70 Secret Royalty Payments; Colleague Got 7
Two key National Institutes for Health (NIH) executives in positions of influence on decisions about who gets grants from the agency received a total of 77 previously undisclosed royalty payments from outside firms between 2010 and 2014.
The secret royalty payments, which were first reported by The Epoch Times, are among thousands estimated to total at least $350 million paid between 2010 and 2020. Long-time NIH Director Francis Collins received 14 payments, Anthony Fauci, who heads NIH’s National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), received 23, and Clifford Lane, Fauci’s chief deputy, got eight payments.
Acting NIH Director Lawrence Tabak conceded during questioning last week by Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) that the undisclosed royalties have the “appearance of a conflict of interest,” but he insisted that the agency has sufficient internal safeguards to prevent such problems. Federal law and ethics regulations bar federal employees from activities that present either the appearance or an actual conflict of interest.

Mark Wauck, Meaning in History: Briefly Noted: Twitter's Choice
I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t understand the specifics of what’s going on with the Musk/Twitter deal, in the sense of understanding the technicalities of possible shareholder lawsuits. I think most of us get the general picture: A massive fraud has been perpetrated. Zerohedge sketches out the unhappy alternatives that Twitter is faced with:
— zerohedge (@zerohedge) May 16, 2022
A number of additional thoughts occur to me.
It seems pretty obvious that Musk must have had a pretty good idea of what was going on—nobody spends that kind of money on acquiring a business without having done a deep dive into the whole business model and the sustainability thereof. He certainly had the money to do due diligence even without selling off the Tesla stock.
It also seems pretty obvious that Twitter management understood all this, which leads to the question: Who, really, is behind Twitter? Because how could this go on so long so publicly? Were the initial nonsensical attempts to thwart Musk’s purchase simply a desperate effort by Twitter management to avoid exposure?

Clint Siegner, Money Metals Exchange: The Politics of Sound Money: What’s at Stake
An occasional critic will ask that we “stick to our lane” and limit commentary to metals and the markets. They would prefer we avoided politics. When it comes to gold and silver, that is easier said than done.
There is no separating the metals markets from the world affairs motivating people to buy physical bullion.
Good luck to a market commentator who sets out to explain the price action over the last few weeks without acknowledging the larger, unnatural forces at work. Rampant cheating, regulatory capture, and algorithmic trading have all but divorced market prices from fundamentals such as supply and demand.
Gold and silver have a very long history as honest money. And money is one of the central battlefields in the ideological war between globalist elites and those seeking limited government and personal liberty.
The globalists are preparing to roll out Central Bank Digital Currencies. If they can convince people to adopt this next evolution of fiat money, they will attain a level of information and control that prior generations of central bankers only dreamt of.
The alternative to a crooked and failing monetary system is a currency which is unprintable and beyond the control of socialists and sociopaths. Gold and silver are central to an honest money system.
Last Tuesday, West Virginia Republicans delivered an overwhelming victory to pro-sound money candidate Alex Mooney in his primary battle to retain his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Sound money advocate
Rep. Alex Mooney (R-WV) trounced a
left-leaning Republican last week.Representative Mooney is one of the leading voices in Congress for auditing the Federal Reserve and restraining its powers. And he has put forth legislation that would repeal discriminatory capital gains taxes on gold and silver bullion as well as comprehensively audit America’s gold for the first time in 70 years.
Our company’s leadership, like the vast majority of our clientele, has chosen a side. We are committed to sound money principles that include limited government and personal liberty.
Money Metals is located in Idaho. In “red” states, such as Idaho, the primary election is where the real choices are made.
Tomorrow a small minority of Idahoans will vote in the state primary along with voters in four other states. And many other state primaries lie just ahead.
The stakes are particularly high this year. Most Americans can feel it, but they won’t bother to vote in their primary.
We hope goldbugs will be an exception. If we don’t seize this opportunity to elect leadership with values matching our own, there may not be another.
