Looking forward to your VSD takedown data. Let's also wake up to brainwashing in the name VSD. Over and over, we see the words "vaccine" and "safety" together. Is that just a coincidence? "Vaccine safety signals," in CDC-speak, is a euphemism and a lie. It is meant to lull you into believing that the words "safety" and "vaccine" go together. The real term needs to be, "Vaccine danger signals" or "Death signals." Vaccine Safety Data should be called "Vaccine Risk Data." There is no such thing as a medical intervention that is safe, with zero risks. Intervention always entails risk, sometimes tiny, sometimes huge, as does the option to do nothing. But consumers have been taught by Pharma to have a false expectation of safety, so that the lack of vaccine manufacturer liability doesn't trouble us. Risk/benefit ratio is a useful, rational term. "Safety" and "safe" and "stay safe" are the most overused, useless, emotionally manipulative words of the past two years. Be aware of how language is used to manipulate your perception. Thanks for the conference description - wish I could have been there- time to start planning for Fall 2023.

I look forward to your exploration with the women who cured their children of autism. This is of particular interest to my sister and, to a lesser although significant extent, me too.

My sister-in-law works with autistic kids in the UK now. Her son had Aspergers syndrome and so she came to the US to find out about the Son-Rise Program about 15 years ago. She used what she learnt for her son who was about 8 at the time and who she took out of regular school for a few years as it was not working for him. They also cut out dairy and gluten to reduce gut and brain inflammation while doing the Son-Rise program. He was able to go back to school in his early teens and just graduated this year from Uni in the UK with a masters degree in mathematics and is a chess whiz. He is doing very well.

Mathew! I looked all around that room on Monday for you to no avail. I did luck out and met Toby Rogers.

What a profound thing to be in the presence of over 700 other like-minded souls. Those were two very inspiring days.

I hope we can meet one day in the future at another meeting. I certainly need these to soothe my aching spirit. So glad you and your wife were able to spend some fun time together. Now back to fighting the war. 🙏

"women who helped their sons recover from autism."

I need to learn more about this. Eagerly awaiting interviews, and if you can point to a resource in the meantime, I'd appreciate that too!

The main covid/vaccine problem is that - along the lines of Mattias Desmet's argument - is that people have been well and truly 'captured'. Big Pharma has got away with their shenanigans for so long that it has become as mainstream and very much part of the Government in the US, and getting so in the rest of the industrialised world. Along with the Puritans et al, and every other sort of adventuring grifter, peddling snake-oil is a hard-core US 'thing', and its 'success' has sadly spilled over to effect all walks of life.The opioid crises in the US is a glaring example of such a crazy world. Statin's is another. Billy-bob knows all this too well. It's a bunch of psychologists that is needed, and most definitely not of the Breggin kind. Already far too many nutters have slipped streamed behind this debacle. I've had countless vaccinations, and for extensive travel etc., etc, but I'm unjabbed for covid. I'm not anti-vaxx, but I am getting there. Anyway, thank you for all you do. You are a gem.

Matthew, re: 9/11. Wanted to re-share this post with you. Many of the fruits of 9/11 fed directly into the debacle of now.

-

The very first tell was visible exactly as the first tower began to fall. I watched it happen on TV, about 45 minutes after the planes hit the buildings. Strangely, the second tower struck collapsed before the first. Weird.

The collapse that unfolded went against every structural engineering principle known and employed to construct buildings of this size. I saw the buildings fall straight down at astonishing speed. Basic physics seemed suspended. I was shocked.

The WTC towers are a Type I structure, which require 3 hours of fire protection. This is because Type I structures don’t have a height limitation. Very tall structures require time to evacuate and deploy firefighters. So while a two story apartment building might only have a 1 hour rating, tall buildings are held to a stricter standard. This is primarily driven by insurance, as most building codes have been since their inception. This doesn’t mean 3 hours to collapse, but 3 hours until a certain level of deformation takes place. The building is still expected to stand, not collapse. In real life, no fire-protected Type I building has ever suffered catastrophic collapse before or since the WTC. This is very important.

We have to remember that these were, at one time, the tallest towers on the planet. They weren’t built to simply *meet* the building codes of the time, but to vastly *exceed* them. These towers were designed with a highly redundant structural system that paired vertical load bearing and shear resistance in its interior and a web-like network of structural steel at its perimeter that lent the towers remarkable stiffness and resiliency (an essential characteristic for tall buildings subjected to hurricane force winds which can come from any direction). In addition to the robust redundancy of the structural design, all of the steel was either encased or covered with fire-protective material, be it concrete, gypsum, or asbestos-containing coatings available at the time.

I have personally worked intimately on the design and construction of these kinds of tall buildings, and when I saw these buildings collapse on that fateful day, I knew immediately it was an Op. And a very large and elaborate one.

On that day, the TV told me to ignore training, education, and experience, and just be afraid. It told us that somehow jetliners crashing into the buildings made them fall, like Luke Skywalker—a single X-Wing taking down the Death Star. That’s fine for a movie plot line, with accompanying special effects; but from a structural engineering perspective, it’s utter fantasy. It would take much more than a single plane, and the collapse wouldn’t have looked like that. What it looked like was controlled demolition. Full stop.

Every structural engineer and architect worth their salt should have jumped out of their seats and exclaimed, “WTF?” Instead, most sat and waited, silent. My team members and peers were curiously silent, hesitant to ask questions. Most said nothing and changed the topic when probed. They were uncertain. Afraid to speak out. Like an unmasked person in a crowd of masked faces, they feared being isolated. Perhaps there was something they didn’t know?

There were so many angles to pick this apart based on basic principles, but almost no one noticed and fewer said anything. No one seemed to see the rate of fall, the way the collapse self-corrected early on at the top third. No one seemed to question how it is that relatively minor damage to one side of a redundant structure played out as a very uniform and organized collapse.

Almost that very day, a blanket of silence spread out over the topic. It was as if a mass suggestion spell had been cast and nearly everyone had bought the ruse. It was as if the TV and headlines had been scripted beforehand, structured to obscure and direct inquiry away from the forensic evidence. Is it any wonder that the overwhelming majority of the steel remains were quickly freighted off to asia for smelting? Forensic examination wasn’t a goal, it was to be avoided.

Many point to the Pentagon and the Pennsylvania crash as big tells, but for me, it was the WTC collapses that spoke volumes. Basic physics, Newtonian Mechanics, high rise design principles, all had been violated; and we’re not talking about particle physics here, but basic principles that have been used to design buildings for centuries. How could this possibly be?

Immediately, within the space of weeks, the industry rags devoted special issues reporting theories of collapse. The theories were all ridiculous, but like the NEJM or the Lancet, does anyone question Architecture or Structure? Never mind that all of a sudden, the normal advertisements changed on a dime to market security bollards, fire-rated glass, and terrorist-resistant building security systems. The people who read these initial theories fell into three camps: skeptics, acceptors, and those who stayed silent. I would estimate around 75% were acceptors, 5% were skeptical, and 20% were afraid to give voice to their questions.

Much like the doctors during the pandemic outbreak, only a few professionals in connected fields spoke out, many were cowed into silence, and a great many went along in blind acceptance. Honest truth: a huge number of architects suck at structural engineering, even on an intuitive level, and outsource even fundamental design to engineers—they like to spend an inordinate amount of effort on prettifying the packaging. People who raised questions were drowned out by official pronouncements via NIST and the media.

What followed reads like a template for now. Computer models were created to cartoon animate a brand-new phenomena: Progressive Collapse. Mathematics professors were called upon to write papers demonstrating the mathematics, proving the theory. Most people couldn’t understand the language or read the papers being written. But those who could, knew the computer model was bullshit and the mathematics made no sense. I waded through the poorly written paper and confirmed it was another part of the Op.

The most oft-cited paper at the time basically tried to argue that through a combination of potential energy and momentum of collapsing floors one could numerically demonstrate that there was adequate energy in the system to demonstrate the feasibility of the collapse. What laypeople didn’t know, and what the reporting in this failed to grok, is that the equations in that paper were based on a fantasy. The analysis failed to account for the total amount of energy required to demonstrate not just the collapse, but the observable evidence: cutting of massive steel beams and columns, the pulverizing of enormous amounts of concrete into dust, along with corrugated steel, truss joists, even connecting bolts, so much reduced to dust and slag. The paper was an exercise in obfuscation—using math to bolster the psyop, invisible to all but the most intrepid.

There is nothing that will cause a steel frame structure to pancake collapse at close to free fall speed without removing vertical support below the falling mass first. This is fundamental. All of the structural connections and supports below the falling mass have to fail at each floor in order without affecting the speed of collapse. If the mechanism cited by the paper had been true, you would have observed slowing collapse, not a uniform one. Further, the pile of rubble at ground level would more likely have been a broken stack of floor plates, and not the overwhelmingly atomized debris sprayed out over many city blocks in all directions.

Eventually this deeply deceptive model was refined and tweaked, with various propositions suggesting failure of poorly-applied fire-proofing and faulty truss joist connections as the culprits behind the failure. Much of this made its way into the 9/11 Commission report even though it is all an elaborate lie. But telling a lie repeatedly to people that don’t understand the basis for the lie has been shown to be a very effective strategy. Eventually, fortified by ‘official’ decree, even the basic laws of physics must bow.

Very few considered that the towers had undergone retrofitting in the years leading up to the collapse, much of the work happening at night to avoid disruptions to public business operations. Funny that.

In the end, not very different from a virus (relatively small fire with poor fuel stock) somehow ripping through the population (the first ever/since examples of catastrophic failure in buildings of this type due to fire), mass dissemination of prepared mathematical manipulation, mixed with copious amounts of fear messaged through the media (Bin Laden, Bin Laden, Bin Laden), followed by governmental mandates (Patriot Act) and actions (War), benefitting the super-rich (war profiteers and the security state).

I couldn't go to the CHD conference. Thank you for your description of the event. I wanted to meet Whitney Webb and Catherine Austin Fitts. It sounds like they were so busy, it wouldn't have happened even if I were present. I'm glad you were able to attend. For me...maybe next year?

Excellent report Mathew. Good for you to get some R&R and balance on the trip. I agree TN is a very pretty state, been there once. I'm such a west coaster I didn't even know the Cumberland River existed? lol Btw, I launched my VAERS website while you were away! https://www.vaersaware.com/

Matt, that is SO COOL you and your wife did all that!

I am happy dance happy to hear you are connecting with AE 9/11 Truth, too!

I didn't know that Bass Pro Shop was in a pyramid - kinda weirds me a little bit, but it's not too big, so I'll get over it -lol. There's a funny, being in Memphis, hence the pyramid.

I always liked fly fishing, miss being able to do it.

Looking forward to hearing about everyone you connected and synergied with!

Back in 2001 on Sept. 11 as a firefighter serving at the rank of Deputy Chief as an incident commander and also as an instructor of building construction for firefighters I was alerted to the breaking news at the World Trade Centers. I knew from my training and experience the buildings would most likely collapse. It’s intriguing to hear discussions from architects and structural engineers about the events of that day.

Sounds like a great trip. I hope to meet you in person one of these days.
