Hannah Arendt, in her book on totalitarianism includes the enigmatic quotation from Holocaust survivor, David Rousset, “Normal men do not know that anything is possible.” Normal people cannot conceive of the evil and horror that is possible at the hands of those who are ideologically determined to follow a particular course of action.
I am convinced that we are not getting the straight goods on a whole list of important issues. Unfortunately it is almost impossible to discern from which side of the ball the lies are proceeding. Therefore, in what follows, please be advised that I have no answers to the questions I pose. What I have tried to do is point out issues that don’t get a hearing in the legacy media and offer the views of others that are not “mainstream”.
My point is not to convince you to one position or another because I simply don’t know. However, I do think it is important that we examine data from other perspectives because, if my hypothesis is right, the truth of a great many issues is going to become apparent in the coming year and it might be shocking. Please leave your comments below and point out better information as necessary. It is important to get this right.
Whither Ukraine?
What are we seeing played out in Ukraine? Are we seeing a David versus Goliath struggle between a peaceful comedian pitted against a demonic hegemon? Is the battle a proxy war between Russian and American neocons / neoliberals that has been brewing since 2001? Are the EU and NATO willing combatants in this proxy war (if it is a proxy war) or are they being drafted into it by the United States? It is hard to know because there are few independent sources of information. But consider the following:
Mr. Putin started the kinetic battle but remains popular at home and in control of the Duma. The western sanctions do not appear to have impacted the lifestyles of the average Russian living in Moscow and the ruble remains more or less stable. This is based on recent reporting by Rebel News from within Russia. It is at odds with legacy media reporting so is it true?
Mr. Zelensky has eliminated all political opposition and put opposing leaders in jail without any due process. At the same time, he has taken over all independent broadcast agencies and outlawed the dissemination of non-state sanctioned news. Why is his government shutting down Russian Orthodox churches? Indeed, why did his government outlaw the use of the Russian language anywhere in Ukraine? No doubt there are reasons, but they are hard to find.
Why did Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande recently admit that they never intended to follow the 2014 Minsk Accords? They now state that the purpose of the Accords was “to give Ukraine time” to prepare for the battle to come. Is this the western “rules-based order” that our leaders tell us is so vital to our survival?
If Russia is on the ropes and Ukraine is winning, then why did the EU President Ursula von de Leyen announce on November 30 that, "It is estimated that 20,000 civilians and more than 100,000 Ukrainian military officers have been killed so far." This many killed in action implies total casualties approaching 500,000 military effectives.
The US military covered this statement by saying that both Russia and Ukraine have taken such losses. Both Russia and Ukraine deny these numbers. A few weeks before this admission by the EU, General Milley of the US military suggested that “now would be a good time to negotiate”. This is strange advice to give the winning side and General Milley walked back his statements shortly after making them.
So, what is going on? I certainly don’t know so I have been looking for varying sources of information. I ignore all sources that tell me, “This is what is going on,” and only pay attention to those who say, “I don’t know but based on my military experience, I think the following might be happening.” Such sources include Larry Johnstone (CIA), Scott Ritter (Marine Corps intelligence services), and Douglas MacGregor (US Army). This discussion between Colonel MacGregor and Michael Vlahos is a long, but very good articulation of an alternative perspective on the war (macgregor and vlahos) .
Other than the legacy news there are other ex-military sources such as Sebastian Gorka that take a decidedly different view than that of Colonel MacGregor. In Dr. Gorka’s view, Putin is about to be handed his head and the Russian experiment is soon over. He points to the pull back of Russian troops at Kharkov as proof of the “great skedaddle” and believes that the Patriot missile defense system will be a game changer in the war. Who knows?
What we do know is that Ukrainian energy infrastructure has been reduced by 40% and winter is not over. We also know that Russia has an estimated 500,000 troops in Belarus, the Donbass and southern Ukraine. A Spanish news source recently reported from Bakhmut that the Russians are shelling with four times the intensity of the Ukrainians and that Ukrainian casualties are four hundred per day.
And we know that there is no offramp. Mr. Zelensky demands Russian soldiers be removed from Ukraine and the Crimea returned to Ukraine as a precursor to peace discussions. Mr. Putin refuses to leave. It seems that the war will soon intensify but then what?
If Ukraine wins then Mr. Putin’s domestic support will disappear, and he likely will be removed from power. This is the stated goal of Mr. Biden and the NATO leaders. But who will replace Mr. Putin under such a scenario? What will happen to a de-industrialized Germany and the EU without the Russian energy option?
If Mr. Putin wins, then, by definition, Mr. Zelensky will be removed from office and the Ukraine army will cease to exist. Almost certainly Poland and Romania will recover lands lost to Ukraine almost 100 years ago and the country will become a rump state with no access to the Black Sea. What will happen to NATO and the EU if Ukraine is lost? What will happen to Taiwan if Ukraine is lost?
In either case, who will repair Ukraine and support the reconstruction of its economy? What will happen to the millions of Ukrainians who have moved to safety in other jurisdictions around the world? Will they come back?
There are lots of questions for which I think we will soon have answers. If it turns out that our governments and media have not been honest what then? Will their lies be destroyed by one of a thousand cuts?
mRNA Injections and Sudden Adult Death Syndrome
At a professional football game on Monday night (January 2), Damar Hamlin took a hard check and then collapsed to the turf. Almost immediately after the injury a doctor, who gained notoriety for his aggressive support of the mRNA injections, tweeted that only ghouls would suggest that this was a vaccine injury. He then proceeded to tell us what kind of injury it was without having examined the patient. His tweet reminded me of Hamlet’s “the lady doth protest too much”. To be clear, at this point no one knows what happened to Mr. Hamlin who, thankfully, is now conscious and talking to his family. It is outrageous that his injury became a third party cause célèbre.
But the cause célèbre has a rational. Cardiologist Dr. Aseem Mulhotra of England, researcher Dr. Robert Malone of the United States and former Member of Parliament Dr. Kerryn Phelps of Australia were all strong supporters of mRNA injections. Dr. Mulhotra was injected on a BBC program to encourage more people to be inoculated. Dr. Malone is the original patent holder for the technology. Dr. Phelps promoted isolation of the non-injected. All three doctors were injected and are now vigorously petitioning governments to cease all injections until the adverse effects of the mRNA spike protein is better understood. Death by mRNA-induced myocarditis has been demonstrated in a series of autopsies conducted in Germany. Peer reviewed papers are demonstrating a link between rapid cancers and mRNA injections.
What happened to safe and effective? Why did a senior Pfizer executive admit under questioning that their injection was never proven to stop transmission of the virus? That is not what I was told. I was told I needed to take the injections so that those around me would be safe. (Why my participation was necessary if the shots were effective has never been explained. Those around me were “vaccinated” after all.)
In a recent Rasmussen poll (Rasmussen) thirty three percent of Democrats and twenty six percent of Republicans and others say they know someone who has died as a result of the mRNA injections. The respondents were injected as well as not injected and the poll results were so shocking to Rasmussen that they decided to not put them behind a paywall.
Stock analyst, Ed Dowd, noticed a peculiar strengthening of funeral services stocks in early 2021 and his investigation has resulted in a book that examines the alarming rise in all cause mortality in heavily injected countries around the world. By his calculation, the increase in all cause mortality in the United States, in the last eighteen months, has resulted in the deaths of more American males between the ages of 18 to 44 than during the entirety of the Vietnam War. In January 2022, OneAmerica Life Insurance confirmed Mr. Dowd’s suspicions and reported that all cause mortality was up over 40%. A subsequent insurance industry actuarial study reported similar numbers.
Several peer reviewed papers in 2022 confirmed that the early use of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine with additives like zinc were effective in treating covid 19 and keeping people out of the hospital. It turns out that the “horse paste” was good medicine. But this was not a surprise given that the co-discoverers of ivermectin received a Nobel prize in 2015 for this discovery. So were we lied to about a drug that worked? Covid researcher and blogger Alex Berenson says not because he continues to doubt the effectiveness of ivermectin. But it is known that if these drugs were proven to work, the mRNA drugs could not be given liability shedding, emergency use authorizations. Is this why, as revealed in a FOIA request, Dr. Fauci and Dr. Collins were frantic to muzzle the signers of the Great Barrington Declaration who promoted these drugs?
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently wrote a book called “The Real Anthony Fauci; Bill Gates, Big Pharma and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health”. Mr. Kennedy makes claims about Dr. Fauci that are, to my non-legal mind, slanderous unless they are true. With well over a million books sold and over fifteen million views of the accompanying documentary video, I am surprised that Dr. Fauci has not sued for defamation.
So, do the mRNA injections cause myocarditis, rapid cancers, and life-threatening blood clotting? It appears that they do. Pfizer listed these along with many pages of other adverse effects in the reports that they were forced to make public in late 2021. But all drugs have adverse effects, so the issue is not the presence of such effects but rather the transparency in identifying those effects and the probability that an individual taking the shots will then suffer from an adverse effect. When I got my injections, I asked about adverse effects and was told that the treatment was “safe”. Was it safe? The medical community does not seem to be in a hurry to find out.
But that may be about to change. Were the lies that I was told about the mRNA injections, “noble lies” as suggested by Dr. Fauci? With a grand jury empaneled in Florida, tough questions are going to be asked of health agency and drug company employees who will have to respond under oath.
By the end of next summer, I suspect we will have a much clearer idea of the risks of the mRNA injections versus the benefits of those injections. No doubt the risk: benefit ratio will be age dependent and perhaps some young people who are now debilitated with myocarditis will be suing certain drug companies. I hope not but will more lies be destroyed by one of a thousand cuts?
Good questions.
