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.

Reminds me of the Bakersfield docs who got millions of views and shares. They were hopelessly bad at math and made us look stupid. They were self-interested and out of their depth but this seems more like a plant to discredit those they are claiming as associates (Kory, Marik, Cole, etc). False flag op.

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.

On second thought, I think elephants did it. Yep, elephants are what is killing us. Invisible elephants, sitting on the jabbed. This is what kills them.

When I watched an interview with Ardis displaying ignorance of sewage, food and water-borne enteroviruses and co-factors that can cause polio I couldn't take his pronouncements at face value any more. I felt I was being proselytized by a huckster. And then he told us that people drinking only well water never got Covid.

His body language reminded me of bill gates interviews, it seems so rehearsed, like I was being sold something, and not being told something.

While there are nuggets of truth sprinkled about, the video and message seemed designed for the extreme fringe personality types.

It will certainly be used as “proof” that the alt-narrative types are unreasonable, maybe even crazy, and we will all be painted with that brush by the liberal media.

Remdesivir does not only cause liver failure, according to Didier Raoult it is toxic to the heart: https://www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.com/article/S1198-743X(21)00094-X/fulltext Dr. Wodarg says it causes multiple organ failure: https://www.bitchute.com/video/A5I7lDiqoLf7/ and even Medpage included an article saying it has "no survival benefit" https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/89167 and Dr. Breggin said it's potentially lethal https://breggin.com/faucis-remdesivir-inadequate-to-treat-covid-19-and-potentially-lethal/

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.

Seems likely a play to mix up the legitimate insert of gp120 with conspiracy hoky poky stuff. Where one will point out the gp120 and the other will laugh inside and say yeah righ and snake venom … shut up

I watched the first few minutes and found the presenter’s affect and pattern of speech unbearable. It had a creepy persecuted-cult-leader-speaking-to-the-faithful feel that I simply couldn’t get past.

This seems like “UFO” territory to me.

On Tuesday Ardis is proud to announce his new sponsor, Grow Max Water, a water purification system for your veggies? I’m sure it removes the usual heavies plus snake venom. Don’t want venom in my hydroponic tomatoes! Just kidding on the venom. We are being plunked. I thought better of Ardis re remdesivir and am very disappointed in Stew for showing such poor judgement. The parasite (Venom) says apologize or I’ll eat your liver!

I'm thinking there's some snake oil in the vaccines. Too much fucking protest.

Yes, Ardis is overly ardent. I don’t know if it’s because he’s acting, or he’s just trying so hard to sound important and interesting. Either way, a red flag.

The Gut can be trusted; always. While the brain has right & left sides (anatomically vs politically) which argue with each other, the Gut does not.

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.

Thank you for your clear, understandable, balanced and unhysterical writings as well. I never miss a posting!
