Perhaps unrelated, but the sudden vaping illness in 2019 was also identified first in Ft Detrick area. It's just another possible point on the timeline since Ft Detrick is always a suspect when biowarfare agents and clandestine testing are involved. It's where the post 9-11 anthrax and small pox threats originated.. the vape threat seems to have vanished from news of concern.

I have vaped for years. When the 'mysterious vaping illness' was announced it was immediately suspicious as it made zero sense. I am convinced it was covid.

Laura Henderson on Twitter has a plethora of tweets on this. Sadly, the CDC EVALI study only went through medical data and didn't include keeping samples.

When you lay it out like this It’s hard to argue against national and/or corporate conspiracy. But what stumps me, what I can’t fathom is how Israel would be a willing participant in this?

For obvious historical reasons I would say there is absolutely zero chance they would play along. And yet. How can this be explained?

Can there be corporate conspiracy without governmental conspiracy. Can the global governmental reaction be explained by fear, hysteria and an unwillingness to admit a screw up?

I'm told by people in Israel that there was a unilateral decision made to agree not to study the vaccine AEs for at least a decade (maybe 30 years, but I'm fuzzy on the details).

There is so much that is hard to fathom.

I have wondered the same until a recent discovery / revelation (from other sources). It all makes sense if you believe the Israeli leadership are more aligned with a global elite than with the israeli population. And perhaps they are not true believers in Judaism but in something else…

I am exploring theories of capture. That's a tough road to research due to the multitude of branches, and that makes reaching understanding particularly challenging. But we should be doing that for all society structures---engaging in the conversation of whether and how capture can or would occur. There are some obvious cases, but at the most important level, there is significant spending on the veil.

I think CAPTURE is the the fundamental problem here. It’s global. It’s deeper than almost anyone thinks. But this and the ‘who’ is hard for people to wrap their brains around. It’s such an enormous deception and utterly terrifying when one understands the implications.

I agree completely. However, I refrain from mentioning most of my surmises and educated guesses simply because that sort of information/ speculation simply causes minds to slam shut like a steel trap (despite the fact that, as the popular joke goes, we're experiencing a shortage of "conspiracy theories" due to all of them having come true since 2020), and even verifiable information would be of limited benefit in most cases.

How would you describe to the term capture? It's tough to explain without eyes glazing over. I believe Bret Weinstein's description was simply, "capture means an institution is failing to do the thing it was designed for" generally. It's been awhile since I've listened to that.

I would define it as the control of an institution by a party/group that has a conflict of interest or an agenda that does not align with the spirit or mission of the organization.

Well if you look at the make up of the bureaucracies, media, academia, corporations who have gone right along with woke and Diversity, Inclusion and Equity - seriously was it officially mandated by Congress?? - you can see that all parts of society are run and populated by leftists. So they figured we got it all except the police and military and with BLM and CRT we will destroy and remake them too - so we are now in charge, regardless of how the public votesx and we will just rule and do whatever our hive brain leaders dictate.

I hope so man. I really really do. It’s wearing me out this stuff. I was walking around today and I had Yeats‘ second coming poem come to my mind . It feels so prescient. I am not religious but boy does this feel religious.

Hand on heart. I will never post a poem again…

Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;

Surely the Second Coming is at hand.

The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out

When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi

Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert

A shape with lion body and the head of a man,

A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,

Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it

Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.

The darkness drops again; but now I know

That twenty centuries of stony sleep

Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,

Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

I am not either but am inclined to think that Revelations was more accurate than I thought. At least I believe that the opposing side (of the followers of Christ) exists and they believe in the existence of God and in the prophet JC. Such people seem to have a lot of earthly power at this moment in time.

As a Christian, we do believe in God and Jesus and Revelation, but you will also see Satan appear , supernaturally possessing a man the Bible calls AntiChrist whole will be able to solve all the world's problems. Then he will wage a bloody war on Christians, but Jesus will return to take him out.

This is a time of great evil . The vaccines are just pure death on a stick.

We will soon see "climate lockdowns" too....brought to you by the same satanic globalists who have injected your lived ones with poison.

The confusion may be explained by realizing we aren't dealing with just one "they" when we talk about those founding and making up that nation. In "From Yahweh to Zion", Laurent Guyénot argues that a psychopathic "elite" has been perfecting psychological warfare first against this very group of people and then scaling it up to the whole world. I think in his model, targeting the non-elite denizens of that nation is completely in character with what he'd expect from this multi-generational psychopathic "elite".

Perhaps, like many other governments who came to the vaxx parade late, they were unawares at the start, but just like the others, found the profit to be irresistible, and joined the parade. Or perhaps they were fear-led into it like all of us, and perhaps, given the sheer intellectual talent in that country, they might be the ones to lead us out.

If not them, there will be one that sees the truth and starts the push back. Hopefully before too long.

BTW, did Event 201 tell us how they plan that it ends?

By what "obvious historical reasons" would Israel not play along? Is this related to the "dancing Israelis" mystery of 9/11 and the fact they've long spied on the U.S.?

That is an awful lot of suspicious coincidences 🤔

Regarding France adding hydroxychloroquine to the List II of poisonous substances, that is a horrifying discovery. What about those who rely on this medication for non-COVID applications? Even Australia, which has banned hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin for treating COVID, at least still permits their use for other conditions.

My mom, for instance, depends on Plaquenil to manage her lupus. When she tried going without it for a spell, she wound up in the hospital with pneumonia and off-the-charts inflammation levels.

The monumental damage to both personal and public health just keeps snowballing at an astronomical pace from every conceivable angle.

I wonder (perhaps ignorantly) if throwing the timing off also contradicts some of the information that the NIH is now conceding regarding the Fauci/gain of function debacle. In their recent admission, they claim that the work being done from 2018-2019 is allegedly too different from the SARS-CoV-2 virus to be the progenitor... but maybe the focus is on the wrong project because of the mainstream timeline?

For what little its worth, myself and my family were very sick with intensive flu-like symptoms at the very end of 2019. Being in the US, we still suspected it was COVID pretty early on into the officially acknowledged pandemic. The nature of this alleged novel disease, being similar to other known maladies, creates all sorts of issues. It definitely seems possible that it could have been around far earlier than reported, under the radar... provided you even accept it's existence at all (which I tend to, but it's not an unreasonable position, given all the rubber rulers we're "measuring" things with).

Interesting regarding to the NIH claims of GoF and timing...

I do think this could have flown under the radar for this reason: If you're not "nursing home level old", it might kick your ass, but you'll survive [unless you were sick enough in some other way that it didn't surprise anyone if you died]. The only major wave of impact that would be felt on an intuitive level for anyone is specifically among the elderly.

The problem I have with the lab leak theory is that for all intents and purposes, COVID is inconsequential, not much more severe than the common cold for all but the oldest and most infirm, many of whom were just murdered with midazolam, so why would they need to get ahead of it with a great big lie? As for whether it really was circulating earlier than late 2019, who's to say what the tests are detecting? The bulk, if not all, of the PCR tests are based on other coronavirae spliced together in silico, at least for the better part of 2020, and each brand/lab is testing for a different segment of the sequence. Why would we believe the other types of tests are testing for something novel? If Kary Mullis hadn't developed sudden heart failure just before Event 201 kicked off, I'm sure he'd have something to say.

Thank for you this.

I've been working in analytics/data for 30 years now - including a 7 year stint at a very prominent NGO doing contextual impact analysis for global health/global dev interventions

and I've been trying to get this general point across for many months

1. the actual IFR/death rate is absurdly small (and still overstated, substancially)

2. PCR tests are close to meaningless - likely much worse

if we cannot establish a clean baseline for these two critical metrics

deaths and "cases"

(and we can't)

- all subsequent conversations/debates are absurd

masks work or not?

lab leak or wet market?

booster or no booster?

Fauci is liar - a saint?

etc.

This is Chuck E Cheese intellectualism

and a tragic failure to set baseline context

with The Data

the foundational existential data for this sickness is a sh*t show inside a dumpster fire

but on both sides of this debate

we carry on like these core framing positions are forgone conclusions

and we pick up the food fight from there

respectfully

if there's no 'there' there

stop arguing about how to get there

I wonder how much influence Fauci exerted to get this signed. Fauci has been pushing for a universal flu vax for years.

Expand full comment

Pretty convincing. But, ought to be easily verifiable in California 2018/9 donor samples. CA was essentially the Chinese middle class's university campus in the years running up to 2019. I haven't paid as much attention to last year's studies looking for pre-existing immunity to see if any were in California, I'll have to go back.

If true, the implication is 1) This accounts for the West Coast's magic imperviousness to SARS-CoV-2 (before the pseudo-vaccines) 2) Not knowing about or paying attention to the virus would have led to worldwide acquisition of immunity with barely any excess mortality (probably already a safe bet anyway).

Expand full comment

1) More 'coincidence' - there was a fairly big media campaign against 'anti-vaxers' in February of 2019. I remember specifically Pinterest banning any search results for searches containing the word "vaccine". 2) I don't know how reliable any of the antibody seroprevalence studies are, but it seems they would provide some insight on how early and widespread we had SARS-COV2.

The vaping lung illnesses from April 2019-February 2020...a mysterious lipid pneumonia and an illness that presented with ground glass opacities in the lungs, tachycardia in 55% of cases, embolic events, myocardial infarction. Most cases were young males. If DNA vaccines didn't have to be refrigerated, I'd almost swear some vapes were tainted with an inhalable Covid vaccine. 9% of the lipids detected in samples were PEG. One company targeted with a lawsuit was called CCELL, a technology brand owned by Shenzhen Smoore Technology Limited, in China.

The vaping illnesses fit into the Covid picture...or the Covid vaccine picture. Would be nice to know how.

But if this virus were circulating in Asia in 2018, with all the air travel going on, how did it not spread to the west very easily? Unless this virus just isn't as contagious as they say it is, and has an R-factor closer to the original SARS. I would not be surprised if that's true.

Expand full comment

Perhaps it did spread (remember, earliest strains were less transmissible than Delta.) Perhaps millions were infected and thousands died. Why would that signal be detected amid the noise of all the other mildly-lethal seasonal respiratory viruses?

Expand full comment

1) I don't think thousands of people would have died of this SARS virus if it weren't for the medical establishment's protocol on treatment - ventilator, convalescent plasma, Remdesivir, monoclonal antibodies and nothing else. We know it was circulating everywhere in the US in February or earlier (because of LA/Mardi Gras), but the mass casualties in NYC, CT, and MA didn't start until late-March 2020. 2) This is purely speculation, but maybe this is actually SARS-COV3, and what happened in China in 2018 was SARS-COV2?

There's been a few articles on why it didn't spread. From what I recall the lockdowns created the ideal conditions by bunching and keeping people indoors.

Anecdotal: I was in Greece summer 2018 flying to Santorini: a Chinese national coughed throughout the flight. 2 days later my husband and I were coughing. My husband took antibiotics and was done in 3 weeks. I didn’t take anything and was sick for 2 more weeks having trouble breathing until a doctor prescribed budesonide inhaler. I’m sure we had COVID in the summer of 2018.

Bobby Kennedy's book does a nice job of documenting the many, many dress rehearsals that date back to not long after 9/11.

I'm not saying that there wasn't a lab leak quite a bit earlier than November or December 2019, but Event 201 is not unique.

Gates is the Halliburton of disease fearmongering; it's unsurprising (although creepy and bad) that he was propagandizing an eventual pandemic for which the only solution would be for every government in the world to torch human rights and buy vaccines from companies in which he's massively invested. He (and others like him) have been doing it for half my life.
