As unimportant as you may have felt your article was, Mr. Crawford, you actually did me a great service in reminding me that an ethical skeptic can believe SOME conspiracies without being obliged out of community loyalty to believe ALL conspiracies advanced by that same community, even one's that set off one's intellectual alarms for parsimony and utility.

We are all keeping weirder company than we used to. Thank you for a good reminder that it's okay for us to allow our intellectual integrity to override our tribal loyalty, even when we have a shared opponent that is collectively very evil.

Oh man. I am grateful for you putting into words exactly what I wanted to say.

Absolutely. I’m reasonably careful about other people’s conspiracy theories because I’ve a couple of my own (though I lean most heavily on conspiracies that are tough to argue with, like all the main narrative points & required measures being untrue, arguably lies).

Mathew does help by separating the venom hypothesis from the water aspects. I can’t take the latter seriously. Consider the unfeasible mass of venom required to poison people through mains water. The venom part appeals to my growing sense of sheer evil that sits behind the entire proposition.

In my view, the greatest evil was the systematic, psychopathic marketing campaign that promoted fear and confusion, disabled critical thinking, and smeared repurposed antivirals and vit. D in order to promote inadequately-tested mRNA jabs.

I agree with your assessments.

My question/comment is more to the spike protien of the mRNA in the vaccines. Can researchers determine if it is closest to the protien of snake venom? If the mRNA of the gene therapy treatments, (mislabeled "vaccines,") is an actual snake protien then that is a dark agenda. Could this "documentary" be a way to discredit that concept by attaching it to other "conspiracy concepts" that are false, or inaccurate?

Obviously very murderous plans have been afoot for two years; longer when you add in vaccines and Autism, etc., Aids and AZT, and Oxycotin as a safe pain treatment. Fluoride, Glysophate, 5G, etc., etc.,

But for me all roads lead to one question:

"Who is "Mr. Global??"" (To use Catherine Austin Fitts terminology.) That is the real question behind everything, IMO. Her associate called Fouci and Schwab, Gates, Biden, Trump, etc "chew toys,"..... for the public to blame and take out their rage upon. But the real power isn't in the public eye.

PS- as an aside, take a look at the inside and outside of Vatican's building that looks exactly like the head of a snake. Strange indeed.

To your technical question, I recall that in one “receipt” Dr Ardis took us through, there was a very interesting distinction. IIRC, portions of spike has highest sequence homology to a bat coronavirus but codon usage bias was closest to a snake.

The latter tells us that sequence evolved in a snake, or at least that was my interpretation. Ardis did a poor job in specifying the hierarchy of evidence that prompted him to conclude a snake venom origin of at least part of the molecule in question, both from the alleged novel virus question & the gene-based “vaccine” question.

I can just about pick my way through this but I’m not motivated to do so, because other, much smarter people are doing it. The other reason why I am not motivated to dig more is, and I recognise some will regard this as incredible, I don’t think it matters that much. Why not? Well, I’m already mote than satisfied that the entire global event is faked, either completely, or in every way in relation to policy responses. Absolutely no unusual public health policies were needed. Those who kicked the fear & NPIs into high gear knew that, too. Regardless of what is in spike & in the gene-based agents, it’s all crooked anyway.

I became categorically convinced of this when the penny finally dropped that every main narrative point & every “measure” imposed were lies. You might have seen my “Covid lies” document? Even 1 or 2 points being clear lies would be bad enough. With everything important being lies, they’re cooked. More evidence is very unlikely to help. Lack of evidence of malfeasance isn’t why we haven’t taken the perpetrators down.

As for who the perpetrators are, I’m again unusual in that I don’t much care. Some we can see, like Gates, Blair, certain of U.K. government’s SAGE advisory group, Ferguson etc. If I was given a list of names I’d never heard of as probables, I can’t think that it’d change a single thing for me.

I believe you’re hitting it on the nail, my own thought was that they might have handed Ardis another chunk to divert us from the main theme, taking away our freedom and having another sad laugh behind our backs....

Bakersfield doc extrapolates from positive Covid tests to the "population" in April 2020 when tests were ONLY on people with symptoms. @ minute 4 here https://www.turnto23.com/news/coronavirus/watch-controversial-press-conference-held-by-two-bakersfield-doctors-that-was-pulled-down-by-youtube

QUOTE: "Currently In Curran Countywe’ve tested 5213 people and WE have 340 positive covid cases. Well that’s 6.55 % OF THE Population.

We look at California from yesterday, we have 33865 Covid cases out of a total of 280.900 tested. That’s 12% of Californians were positive for Covid." ENDQUOTE

You CANNOT extrapolate from sick people who were tested to the "population of California". Bad BAD math/statistics! Makes everyone who repeated it look stupid and ignorant. Innumerate. Counterproductive.

If 25% of women who were tested at Dr California Obstetrician's office tested positive for pregnancy can I extrapolate that to the state of California? NOPE! If 12% of SICK Californians tested positive for Covid at Dr Bakersfield's office, can I extrapolate that to the entire population of the state of California? NOPE!

I agree, the documentary was over-the-top. The dramatic music was too much for me. But there were some important points that I hope do not get thrown out with the bath water….

Catherine Austin Fitts talks a lot about the mass poisoning of society (from food, meds, vax etc..).

Also the quality of municipal water does need to be looked at. There’s the heavy use of chloramine, the fluoride debate, all the pharmaceuticals that end up in there. Drinking bad water does make us more susceptible to any disease.

Let's think about this "water toxicity" from a different perspective.

If the water has so many toxins shouldn't we be hearing from pet owners, especially of small birds and aquariums or breeders (kittens & puppies), see a rapid loss of life?

Housemate story- when she was about 6, my housemate was at a parade once and she wanted to pet one of the (giant clydesdale) horses. No one noticed as she went to pet it, and the horse lightly picked up its hoof and set it back down, but on the childs foot. She didnt know what to do, but the horse knew there was something under its hoof, and it did not put its weight down. It just lifted its hoof, after a second or two, and she walked away. Horses, and elephants, are very cool and very sentient. Wish we all were as well best Gm...

One thing this documentary will accomplish is to permanently link snake venom sequences in sars-cov-2 to water supply quackery. That will allow fact checkers and narrative control (media) to address the water poisoning every time any evidence of snake venom similarities is found.

Hence, researching snake venom sequences will be made more difficult for anyone who doesn't want to be called a crazy. Linking something you don't want investigated to something you can easily call crazy is not a new trick.

When I learned that Ardis was a chiropractor, that was it for me.

What does that even mean? Do chiropractors have a monopoly on coming up w a hypothesis of this type? Where? When? I’m not familiar w past hypothesis of this made by chiropractors.

Expand full comment

Chiropractry is not based on science, but on Aurveda, the traditional medicine of India. Aurveda posits the existence of spiritual organs called Chakras, which are stacked atop one another up the spine. Each Chakra performs a specific function. When the Chakras remain in perfect alignment with one another, it enables an uninterrupted flow of Kundalini (Serpent) energy to enter the base of the spine and out the top of the head. This in turn enables you be happy, healthy and holy. Pure chiropractic doctrine posits chiropractory as enabling a cure for all disease. However few practicing chiropractors actually carry it this far. And no, chiropractors do not have a monopoly on fraudulent, unscientific medical practices. They are joined by practitioners of Chi Gung, Reiki, iridology, sclerology, reflexology, kinesiology, acupuncture, and homeopathic medicine.

Expand full comment

You left out the allopathic model of medicine and the pharmaceutical industry when naming practices and practitioners committing fraudulent, unscientific medical practices.

You also seem unaware that the study of medicine and the human body didn’t begin with allopathic medicine and the establishment of the pharmaceutical industry only a couple hundred years ago. It’s literally thousands of years old.

All those practices you did name deal with energy medicine. In case you aren’t aware, we are energetic electromagnetic beings. In fact, all of creation is, including the planets, sun and moon. If that wasn’t true, do explain how solar flares and the moon affect our earth otherwise.

You may not like these facts and you may need scientific data to tell you it’s true, but it doesn’t make them less true.

It tells me you’re living in your head and not in tune with your intuitive body, which isn’t unusual these days. The intuitive abilities we are born with have been indoctrinated out of most people, hence why we are where we are now. They can’t have all of us knowing how powerful we truly are. A few of us knowing is fine. That’s not a threat to them. All of us, as a collective, that would cripple them.

The interesting thing to me is that most people know the “they” we refer to who are trying to control the world are Satanist’s and Luciferian’s, yet at the same time refuse to believe in things they don’t see and can’t understand, bcz well, science. There’s a major disconnect in recognizing the very basis of science is energy. If that wasn’t true, quantum physics and such wouldn’t be such an interesting field.

Unless and until you’re willing to explore what you don’t understand, don’t dismiss it as quackery. It would blow your mind if you knew what I did.

Additionally, there are a great many more chakra’s than the seven you referred to. We have entire pathways running through the meridians of our bodies.

Mathew, you probably already know Kevin McKernan. I think he’s brilliant and always very measured and balanced, and I was hoping that he would respond to the "documentary". He wrote a somewhat technical but very clear thread here:

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1515003395857387528.html

Kevin also responded in another thread about the claims regarding the "HIV sequences". If it would be useful to you, I can take that one up as well.

If I understand him properly and can convert this to my simple layman's language, what he saying is that if you’re looking for a specific word in a 350 page book, like "antidisestablishmentarianism", and you find the shorter sequence “stab“, it doesn’t mean that you’ve unequivocally found evidence of the existence of "antidisestablishmentarianism" in your book. It seems that some people are making big claims by extrapolating minor findings and implying they are dispositive.

In any case, I think you’ll understand Kevin‘s Thread far better than I will and he points to several documents that may save you time if you were interested in pursuing this further.
