Humiliating Hat Trick: (((Wealthy NY Family))) Invested In Enron, Madoff, FTX

Zero Hedge | Jan. 17, 2023

A wealthy New York family has achieved a humiliating hat trick, having invested with Bernie Madoff, Enron and now, FTX, according to the Financial Times.

Thanks to the family’s philanthropy — which has benefitted the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Yeshiva University and Harvard among others — “Belfer” is a name familiar to many in New York’s high society. Unfortunately, it’s now associated with three legendary financial catastrophes.

The Belfer family’s wealth primarily came from the Belco Petroleum Corporation founded by the late Arthur Belfer, a Polish-born immigrant.

The Belfer family was among the largest shareholders of Enron. Honored by Fortune magazine for six straight years as “America’s Most Innovative Company,” the energy and commodities company exploded in spectacular fashion in 2001.

Now, a Financial Times review of court documents reveals the Belfers appeared in a list of shareholders of FTX, the cryptocurrency exchange that was valued at $32 billion a year ago but is now a smoking ruin, with its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, in prison pending prosecution on eight criminal counts.

‘We’ve really lost a decade to lip service about inequality’: World’s richest 1% captured almost two-thirds of all new wealth created in two years, report says

Marketwatch | Jan. 15, 2023

For every dollar of new global wealth earned by a person in the bottom 90% during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, a billionaire got $1.7 million, according to a new analysis from the anti-poverty group Oxfam.

That means that even in an era marked by the pandemic, nearly 15 million excess deaths and rising consumer prices, the richest 1% captured almost two-thirds of all new wealth created between December 2019 and December 2021, the report said.

Oxfam said a “flood of public money pumped into the economy by rich countries” during the pandemic, combined with tax policies that favor the wealthy, higher corporate profits and rising prices, helped to fuel a surge in wealth for the world’s richest people. To reverse a trend of widening inequality, taxes must be raised on the richest people in the world, the organization said.

How to Describe a True State National and Write to Members of Congress

By Anna Von Reitz

It’s true that we, actual Americans, don’t act as shareholders in the two foreign corporations that provide “government services” directly and via their State-of-State franchises and agencies, and therefore, we don’t vote in their political party-dominated elections of corporate officers, either..

In fact, the so-called Fourteenth [By-Law] Amendment to the British Crown Corporation entity’s “Corporate Constitution” issued in 1868 makes it a crime for anyone (especially Municipal employees and dependents) who isn’t a U.S. Citizen to vote in their elections.

As a result, we have not granted our “proxy” to anyone in Washington, DC, and retain our right to convene a Continental Congress to settle all the hash of this country, including that of our Public Employees.

We also retain the right to correct and direct and demand performance from our Public Employees.

Recently, I explained the difference between “American State Nationals” described under Federal Code, 8 USC 1101 (a) 21, etc., and actual American State Nationals — a political status that arises from actual nationality within a sovereign organic State, and which is not a condition defined by or conferred by any legislative act or Federal Code.

We, Americans, derive our nationality from our organic States of the Union. We are New Yorkers, Texans, Minnesotans, Wisconsinites, etc., by birth. This is what we mean by “American State Nationals”.

Federal Territorial Employees and Dependents also have a designation called “American State National” which is conferred upon people living in foreign territorial States-of-States and US Possessions, such as American Samoa or the [Territorial] State of Vermont, for example.

So, the same words “American State National” are being used to describe two completely different political statuses. Which one are you? If you are a Federal Military or Civil Service Employee or the Dependent of such a Person, you might claim to be an “American State National” as defined by Federal Code (David Straight’s process). If you are a member of the General Public, you are an American State National in our system by birth, and you are an Employer of all Federal and Federal State-of-State employees by definition.

When you write a Nasty Note to one of the corporation’s officers or appointees or even to their Agency Subcontractors, Commissions, etc., or, conversely, you wish to applaud something they are doing, you do so as their Employer.

You are the Boss, they are the Public Employee.

So think about your role and their role.

First, you identify yourself — “I am a natural born New Yorker owed every iota of the guarantees provided by the Federal Constitutions.” — for example.

Second, you don’t mince words. You are direct and to the point: “I am very concerned about the continuing impact of Covid-19 “vaccinations” on the General Public, which you are supposed to protect at all costs.” — for example.

After identifying the general subject that your communication concerns, you can follow up with bullet-point information. “Initial and secondary statistical reports show a 70 to 75% spontaneous miscarrage rate among pregnant women who received Covid-19 vaccinations and a commensurate numerical percentage increase in fertility impairment issues overall. The adverse impact on our population, economy, and future cannot be overstated.” — for example.

You don’t pile on pages of information. You keep it short. Just two or three pithy paragraphs per letter will do nicely.

Think about it. Your Boss doesn’t have to explain everything in the Western World to you when he or she brings a problem to your attention and expects you to do something about it. Why should you send a member of Congress a 150-page treatise?

Long, flowery, over-explanatory letters are not necessary and don’t get read. Staffers enter a tally mark beside the “subject” if it’s a popular subject, and another tally mark to indicate if the letter is “positive” or “negative”. If your letter is short and direct, and contains interesting information, they might occasionally pass it on to the Big Cheese.

Otherwise, they respond to “communication statistics”. If they get 1879 “negative” letters about Subject X and only 6 positive letters about the same subject, they start to pay attention.

Your role is to get their attention and prod them into appropriate action. Oftentimes, they act on information that is completely rudimentary: “Covid Jab = Bad”, for example.

Now, y’all have about a gozillion subjects to cover with your Employees, don’t you?

The abuses you have suffered from unelected, unaccountable “Agencies” and things like the “National Security Council” and “Public Utility Commissions” and the quasi-military court system are enough to fill volumes — so write a dozen letters, but keep each one short and to the point.

“I am being misidentified and misaddressed as a Municipal citizen of the United States — RAYMOND P. GRUNDY, and repeated letters to the United States Secretary of State and the Bureau of Consular Affairs and the Department of Justice have failed to correct the record.

I am a natural-born Wisconsinite and have not adopted any such foreign political status and do not stand under any Municipal or Territorial law. I would appreciate it if you would serve my interests as your actual Employer and notify the United States Secretary of State and the State of Wisconsin Secretary of State of my actual political status and current location in Herbert County, Indiana. Please instruct the Bureau of Consular Affairs and Department of Justice to notify all departments of the Federal Government and State-of-State franchise organizations and Agencies, that I am not a Federal Employee or Dependent and do not wish to be presumed upon. Thank you very much for your time and attention to this matter. — Raymond Patrick Grundy, in care of 8721 Belmont Circle NW, Indianapolis, Indiana 45231″

As the Employer, you don’t do any groveling or pleading or pretty-pleasing-with-sugar-on-top. You don’t “Respectfully Submit” anything, including yourself. You aren’t impolite. You don’t swear. You don’t threaten. You carry your authority with decorum. But you don’t beg. You don’t have to. You are the Employer. Act the part.

Defund Marxist Public Universities That Offer ‘Social Justice’ Degrees for Career Agitators and Grievance Industry Manufacturers

Grievance Industry Mob — GRAPHIC: Bitcoin News

A couple decades ago, the term “grievance industry” mainly referred to a proliferation of lawyers in shiny suits who made a comfortable living filing lawsuits. Boy, times have changed.

Today, “social justice” appears to be the new grievance industry. Increasing numbers of universities are turning out increasing numbers of grievance industry professionals — otherwise known as social justice graduates. Social justice isn’t just being recommended as a minor to complement degrees in fields like education, law, politics and journalism. More than a dozen universities are offering a masters degree in grievance industry manufacturing.

In fact, in total, more than 100 universities across the United States offer social justice programs, according to research by The Fix in 2017. Among them, 18 offer a bachelors degree in perpetual outrage. Many of these higher-ed institutions are public colleges that receive significant state funding.

For example, Rutgers University, a public college in New Jersey, offers its students a minor in social justice and a lengthy list of leftist courses to complement nearly any academic concentration. But to complete the program, students must take the “Practicing Social Justice” course, which mandates students participate in left-wing causes, The Blaze reported.

The course’s description: “Practicing Social Justice” will introduce “students to diverse practices of social justice activism including grassroots organizing, labor organizing, political organizing, and transnational organizing. Readings about social change efforts are combined with student participation in community mobilizations, labor organizing efforts, political campaigns, and transnational social movement and NGO activism.”

Then there’s the social justice degree program at Eastern Kentucky University. It “focuses on situating a multitude of local contestations over ‘justice’ within a more expansive economic, political, and social context. This entails serious consideration of struggles for ‘social justice,’ by which we mean conflicts and struggles about a diversity of social issues where human dignity, equality, and solidarity are at stake: economic inequality and poverty; institutional racism, classism, sexism, and heterosexism; corporate and state power; colonialism and imperialism; war and state violence; environmental harm; consumerism and commodification; corporate media influence; and struggles over space, place, and territory.”

This was six years ago. These people are now university-trained social justice warriors.

Perhaps the push for such programs explains why Black Live Matter morphed from a radical black fringe group into a massive culture- and history-destructing movement of middle-class, 20-something, white, cry bullies who have the power to shake down corporations for cash and silence political parties. Just sayin’.

To drive home the argument that it’s time to de-fund universities that churn out professional agitators, please join me in revisiting the following timeless article that appeared in “The Passing Parade” in 2016.

How the Frankfurt School Changed American Culture

The 1950s were a simple, romantic, and golden time in America.

California beaches, suburbia, and style. Atlas Shrugged was published, NASA was formed, and Elvis rocked the nation. Every year from 1950–1959 saw over 4 million babies born. The nation stood atop the world in every field.

It was an era of great economic prosperity in The Land of the Free.

So, what happened to the American traits of confidence, pride, and accountability?

The roots of Western cultural decay are very deep, having first sprouted a century ago. It began with a loose clan of ideologues inside Europe’s communist movement. Today, it is known as the Frankfurt School, and its ideals have perverted American society.

When Outcomes Fail, Just Change the Theory

Before WWI, Marxist theory held that if war broke out in Europe, the working classes would rise up against the bourgeoisie and create a communist revolution.

Well, as is the case with much of Marxist theory, things didn’t go too well. When war broke out in 1914, instead of starting a revolution, the proletariat put on their uniforms and went off to war.

After the war ended, Marxist theorists were left to ask, “What went wrong?”

Two very prominent Marxists thinkers of the day were Antonio Gramsci and Georg Lukács. Each man, on his own, concluded that the working class of Europe had been blinded by the success of Western democracy and capitalism. They reasoned that until both had been destroyed, a communist revolution was not possible.

Gramsci and Lukács were both active in the Communist party, but their lives took very different paths.

Gramsci was jailed by Mussolini in Italy where he died in 1937 due to poor health.

In 1918, Lukács became minister of culture in Bolshevik Hungary. During this time, Lukács realized that if the family unit and sexual morals were eroded, society could be broken down.

Lukács implemented a policy he titled “cultural terrorism,” which focused on these two objectives. A major part of the policy was to target children’s minds through lectures that encouraged them to deride and reject Christian ethics.

In these lectures, graphic sexual matter was presented to children, and they were taught about loose sexual conduct.

Here again, a Marxist theory had failed to take hold in the real world. The people were outraged at Lukács’ program, and he fled Hungary when Romania invaded in 1919.

Read: György Lukács: Practitioner of Red Vanguardism and Cultural Nihilism

The Birth of Cultural Marxism

All was quiet on the Marxist front until 1923 when the cultural terrorist turned up for a “Marxist study week” in Frankfurt, Germany. There, Lukács met a young, wealthy Marxist named Felix Weil.

Until Lukács showed up, classical Marxist theory was based solely on the economic changes needed to overthrow class conflict. Weil was enthused by Lukács’ cultural angle on Marxism.

György Lukács: Practitioner of Red Vanguard Anarcho Tyranny

Weil’s interest led him to fund a new Marxist think tank—the Institute for Social Research. It would later come to be known as simply The Frankfurt School.

In 1930, the school changed course under new director Max Horkheimer. The team began mixing the ideas of Sigmund Freud with those of Marx, and cultural Marxism was born.

In classical Marxism, the workers of the world were oppressed by the ruling classes. The new theory was that everyone in society was psychologically oppressed by the institutions of Western culture. The school concluded that this new focus would need new vanguards to spur the change. The workers were not able to rise up on their own.

As fate would have it, the National Socialists came to power in Germany in 1933. It was a bad time and place to be a Jewish Marxist, as most of the school’s faculty was. So, the school moved to New York City, the bastion of Western culture at the time.

Coming to America

In 1934, the school was reborn at Columbia University. Its members began to exert their ideas on American culture.

William Langer’s ‘Newest History,’ the OSS and the Frankfurt School (aka New School)

Reece Committee Report from 1954 Shows Foundations Funded the Collectivist Capture of US Education

It was at Columbia University that the school honed the tool it would use to destroy Western culture: the printed word.

The school published a lot of popular material. The first of these was Critical Theory.

Critical Theory is a play on semantics. The theory was simple: criticize every pillar of Western culture—family, democracy, common law, freedom of speech, and others. The hope was that these pillars would crumble under the pressure.

Next was a book Theodor Adorno co-authored, The Authoritarian Personality. It redefined traditional American views on gender roles and sexual mores as “prejudice.” Adorno compared them to the traditions that led to the rise of fascism in Europe.

Is it just a coincidence that the go-to slur for the politically correct today is “fascist”?

The school pushed its shift away from economics and toward Freud by publishing works on psychological repression.

Their works split society into two main groups: the oppressors and the victims. They argued that history and reality were shaped by those groups who controlled traditional institutions. At the time, that was code for males of European descent.

From there, they argued that the social roles of men and women were due to gender differences defined by the “oppressors.” In other words, gender did not exist in reality but was merely a “social construct.”

A Coalition of Victims

Adorno and Horkheimer returned to Germany when WWII ended. Herbert Marcuse, another member of the school, stayed in America. In 1955, he published Eros and Civilization.

In the book, Marcuse argued that Western culture was inherently repressive because it gave up happiness for social progress.

The book called for “polymorphous perversity,” a concept crafted by Freud. It posed the idea of sexual pleasure outside the traditional norms. Eros and Civilization would become very influential in shaping the sexual revolution of the 1960s.

Marcuse would be the one to answer Horkheimer’s question from the 1930s: Who would replace the working class as the new vanguards of the Marxist revolution?

Marcuse believed that it would be a victim coalition of minorities—blacks, women, and homosexuals.

The social movements of the 1960s—black power, feminism, gay rights, sexual liberation—gave Marcuse a unique vehicle to release cultural Marxist ideas into the mainstream. Railing against all things “establishment,” The Frankfurt School’s ideals caught on like wildfire across American universities.

Marcuse then published Repressive Tolerance in 1965 as the various social movements in America were in full swing. In it, he argued that tolerance of all values and ideas meant the repression of “correct” ideas.

It was here that Marcuse coined the term “liberating tolerance.” It called for tolerance of any ideas coming from the left but intolerance of those from the right. One of the overarching themes of the Frankfurt School was total intolerance for any viewpoint but its own. That is also a basic trait of today’s political-correctness believers.

To quote Max Horkheimer, “Logic is not independent of content.”

Recalling the Words of Winston (Not That One)

The Frankfurt School’s work has had a deep impact on American culture. It has recast the homogenous America of the 1950s into today’s divided, animosity-filled nation.

In turn, this has contributed to the undeniable breakdown of the family unit, as well as identity politics, radical feminism, and racial polarization in America.

It’s hard to decide if today’s culture is more like Orwell’s 1984 or Huxley’s Brave New World.

Never one to buck a populist trend, the political establishment in America has fully embraced the ideas of the Frankfurt School and has pushed them on American society through public miseducation.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, the beacons of progressivism, are both disciples of Saul Alinsky, a devoted cultural Marxist.

And so we now live in a hyper-sensitive society in which social memes and feelings have overtaken biological and objective reality as the main determinants of right and wrong.

Political correctness is a war on logic and reason.

To quote Winston, the protagonist in Orwell’s dystopia, “Freedom is the freedom to say that 2+2=4.”

Today, America is not free.

Will humans go EXTINCT from the deep state's endless biotechnology experiments?

(Natural News) Throughout history, there have been many close-call mass extinction events, including volcanic eruptions, plagues, and wars. These days are no different with the threat of biotechnology, which Dr. Guy Hatchard warns should be one of humanity’s number-one concerns.

Genetic manipulation is a mass extinction event-in-the-making like perhaps nothing else ever before seen. From genetically modified (GMO) “food” to recombinant “vaccines” – including covid injections – biotechnology is rapidly changing the world in all the wrong ways.

Defiance of natural law is the essence of biotechnology, which seeks to recreate nature’s imprint on life. It is a dance with death that the globalists hope will produce the inheritance they feel is owed to them: ownership of and control over everything.

Try as they might to understand genetics, the scientific “elite” know nothing in the greater scheme of things. The complexity of genetic structures, DNA, and other elements of life are simply too great for the human mind alone to comprehend – and yet the goal is to tinker with life in order to unnaturally subdue and control it.

Once unleashed, altered genetics will continue to reproduce and spread. There is no putting Pandora back in the box once it has been opened, in other words. And yet biotechnology has become the new normal in today’s world – with no end in sight except for an eventual total collapse of the biosphere.

“The reproductive and repair capabilities of organisms can be degraded by genetic editing,” Hatchard writes. “There is accumulating evidence that this is the case as a result of covid-19 mRNA vaccination which modifies the way our genome expresses itself in affected cells.”

“Living systems defy the second law of thermodynamics, the rule that in closed systems any energy transformation results in loss – often referred to as the arrow of time. How exactly living systems manage to reverse this law is unknown. Thus the fundamentals of evolution could be put at risk by genetic modification.”

(Related: Is covid a communist Chinese biotechnology experiment?)

People are dying at an increasingly greater rate, probably due to biotechnology

For now, the consequences of biotechnology are limited in view to those who are paying close attention. As time goes on, however, it will become more apparent to everyone that something is amiss – and it all traces back to biotechnology.

Covid injections are a perfect example of this as they exist, it would seem, to alter the human genetic code. Human beings are being jabbed with chemicals that are turning them into GMOs – and many are dying as a result.

“The current proliferation of biotechnology, which essentially relies on artificial gene editing followed by cloning and the application of selected genetic constructs on a massive scale, is unprecedented in human history,” Hatchard says. “It is completely unique.”

“It has been entered into on the basis of a rudimentary, incomplete, and often faulty understanding of genetic functions. Crucially there is no clear, reliable conception of the final outcomes.”

If, in the case of covid jabs, the “fully vaccinated” now have vaccine-induced AIDS (VAIDS), then the next threat that appears could be the one that does most of them in. A mass death situation could quickly transpire once the injections complete their gene-editing work, in other words.

Attempting to change one piece of the natural world in isolation from all the rest simply will not work, but this is the direction that “science” has taken. And once it all catches up, the outcome will not be what most people are expecting.

“Nothing like this has ever happened before,” Hatchard warns. “We are now actively degrading our survival toolbox through multiple experiments being recklessly carried out all over the world, fueled by political ambition, greed, and hubris.”

Fear Is Pfizer’s Financial Fertilizer

A large Cleveland Clinic study found that, compared to the unvaccinated, workers who had received one COVID jab were 1.7 times more likely to test positive for COVID.

Visit Mercola Market — **Advertisement**

By now, you’ve probably heard there’s a new COVID variant making the rounds, and it’s said to be “the most transmissible” variant to date. To hit the proper emotional note where propaganda becomes effective, the new variant, XBB.1.5, was quickly dubbed the “Kraken,” which is a moniker referring to a legendary sea beast that could not be defeated. As reported by NBC Chicago:

“A highly contagious ‘recombinant’ variant composed of two different BA.2 strains, the ‘kraken’ variant has quickly become the dominant form of COVID in the U.S. and is continuing to spread nationwide. Also known as XBB.1.5, the variant quickly rose to prominence as experts say it is more contagious than many of its predecessors.
‘It went from 4% of sequences to 40% in just a few weeks,’ Dr. Ashish Jha, White House COVID czar, tweeted last week. ‘That’s a stunning increase.’ Jha said the variant is likely more immune evasive, even ‘more than other omicron variants.'”

There’s nothing particularly noteworthy, and certainly nothing scary, about this new variant. Despite the hype at the beginning of the article, NBC actually makes this plain in a later paragraph where they quote the Chicago Department of Public Health commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady:

“Arwady noted symptoms haven’t changed with the new variant, though she noted that symptoms similar to the flu are less common … ‘COVID is showing up very much like it already has. I think, if anything, we are seeing it a little bit less likely to have the more severe symptoms,’ Arwady said.
‘Definitely people get the severe symptoms still … But more often now we are seeing people … just have cold-like symptoms, less likely to have those flu-like, really feeling very sick, the high fevers.'”

In other words, this is an entirely baseless fear campaign. The primary “novelty” about the scary-sounding Kraken is that it causes MILDER symptoms than the already mild symptoms of Omicron and its sublineages.

This is entirely logical, as XBB.1.5 is a recombination of two Omicron strains, and as Dr. Dennis Cunningham, medical director of infection control and prevention at Henry Ford Health in Detroit told NBC Chicago:

“The omicron symptoms have been pretty consistent. There’s less incidence of people losing their sense of taste and smell. In a lot of ways, it’s a bad cold, a lot of respiratory symptoms, stuffy nose, coughing, body aches and fatigue … I haven’t seen anything suggesting that this new subvariant [XBB.1.5] is clearly making people sicker.”

A runny nose was the most common symptom of the BA.2 (Omicron) subvariants that the “Kraken” is made up of. So, this is more ado about nothing. But could we expect anything less? Behavioral scientists have long known that fear of contagion make people both intolerant toward others and compliant with authority.

As such, fear is an indispensable social engineering tool, and we already know The Great Reset pushers need the pandemic to keep chugging or else their plans will get seriously hampered.

Big Pharma also needs people to remain in fear in order to keep sales of their useless COVID shots going. Ironically (although perhaps it was planned this way), the more COVID shots you get, the greater your risk for infection.

So, the shots have quite literally become the foundational drivers of the pandemic.

In the video above, posted January 4, 2023, former nurse educator John Campbell, Ph.D., reviews some of the latest evidence showing that the more mRNA COVID shots you get, the more likely you are to get infected. The study

in question was done by the Cleveland Clinic, which assessed outcomes among its 51,011 employees.

In summary, they found that, compared to the unvaccinated, workers who had received one dose were 1.7 times more likely to test positive for COVID during the three-month study.

Those with two doses were 2.63 times more likely to test positive, those with three doses had 3.1 times the risk, and those with four or more doses were 3.8 times more likely to get infected.

So, it’s not hyperbole to say that these shots are “useless.” They’re actually less than useless, seeing how they have negative effectiveness. The graph below, from the study, clearly illustrates how the risk of infection rises in tandem with each additional dose.

The bottom black line represents the background risk (the risk among the unvaccinated population), and the colored lines above it show the number of infections that occurred depending on the number of doses received.

Overall, the Cleveland Clinic study

concluded the bivalent booster shots were only 30% effective in protecting against SARS-CoV-2 infection. For reference, 89% of employees received the Pfizer jab and the rest received Moderna. No other brands were used.

Perhaps the most important detail here is that the mRNA in the bivalent boosters matched the Omicron strains in circulation, so the shots were not mismatched (as often happens with the flu vaccine). Yet, despite being perfectly matched to the strains that were actually causing the infections, the boosters were only 30% effective.

By extension, that means their effectiveness is likely to be even lower once the circulating strains change, which has already happened. By the end of December 2022, XBB.1.5 already accounted for 40.5% of all new infections, followed by BQ.1.1, responsible for 26.9% of new infections, and variant BQ.1 at 18.3%.

Considering the increased transmissibility of XBB.1.5, it’s unlikely that the now unmatched booster shots will offer much protection at all.

As noted by Campbell, at the beginning of the pandemic the World Health Organization required any qualifying “vaccine” to be at least 50% effective, yet now everyone is perfectly content to settle for boosters that are only 30% effective — and that’s in addition to increasing the risk of infection with each dose given.

What does offer protection? Natural infection. The Cleveland Clinic did find that natural immunity lessens over time, as new, more immune-evading variants become prominent, but recent natural infection offered good protection. The graph below shows the likelihood of getting infected depending on if or when you were infected with COVID previously.

Those with no previous history of COVID infection had the highest risk of infection during the study period. Day zero was September 12, 2022, which was when the bivalent booster began being offered to Cleveland Clinic employees.

Those who had previously been infected during the pre-Delta and Delta phases of the pandemic had the next-highest risk. Those with the lowest risk of infection (meaning they had the greatest protection) were those who had previously been infected during the Omicron BA.4/BA.5 wave (the most recent wave), followed by those who’d been sick during the earlier BA.1/BA.2 wave.

In related news, Sally Beck, writing for the British website The Conservative Woman (TCW), recently highlighted Edward Dowd’s work on excess deaths statistics, collated and published in the book “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022.” Beck writes:

“Former Wall Street executive Edward Dowd … has been dissecting excess mortality statistics recorded since the COVID pandemic began three years ago. He has analyzed and reanalyzed the numbers and has concluded that excess death rates, in those aged 26-41, are closely related to the administration of COVID vaccinations.
‘From February 2021 to March 2022, millennials experienced the equivalent of a Vietnam war, with more than 60,000 excess deaths,’ he said. ‘The Vietnam war took 12 years to kill the same number of healthy young people we’ve just seen die in 12 months.’
This 12-month period covers the COVID vaccination rollout for that age group so in theory we would have expected to see a decrease in excess mortality, not an increase …
Comparisons with normal years was key. All-cause mortality remains relatively constant, and in 2017, 2018 and 2019 around 2.8 million Americans died. Figures spiked in 2020 (COVID), although less than you might imagine, but in 2021 the stats were off the charts.”

In a January 2022 press conference, Scott Davidson, CEO of the mutual life insurance company OneAmerica, shocked the world with his announcement that the death rate among working-age Americans was 40% higher during the third quarter of 2021 than prepandemic levels, and that these deaths were not due to COVID infection.

Dowd described it as “an earth-shaking statistic,” as a 10% increase would be a 1 in a 200-year event. Davidson, too, stressed the unprecedented nature of the increase, stating that “40% is just unheard of.”

From there, matters have only worsened.

“Excess mortality was 78% for the 25-34 age group and 100% for the 35-44 age group in the same quarter that Biden introduced vaccine mandates and corporate America complied.” ~ The Conservative Woman

Dowd’s research shows excess mortality among Millennials was 84% above baseline in the second half of 2021.

Teens are even dying in their sleep nowadays, and at least two such deaths have been confirmed as being due to COVID jab-induced myocarditis,

and, as reported by Conservative Woman:

“The Society of Actuaries Research Institute (SOA) published their COVID-19 mortality survey report on 17 August 2022. It represented approximately 80% of the group life US revenues.
One of their tables showed clearly that excess mortality was 78% for the 25-34 age group and 100% for the 35-44 age group in the same quarter that Biden introduced vaccine mandates and corporate America complied.
Another independent source showed the same disturbing data. The Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Centre (CRC) and the Johns Hopkins Centre for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) tracked and analyzed COVID data worldwide.
They said that 68% of the world’s population was vaccinated and 13 billion doses administered. If they had been safe and effective, how could they explain that the highest death rate occurred after mass vaccination?”

While death comes to all, the most tragic part of this trend is that it’s young and healthy people who are being prematurely killed, including high-performance athletes.

professional and amateur athletes collapsed due to cardiac events in 2021 and 2022. Of those, 1,148

were fatal. That gives us an annual average death rate of 574 for 2021/2022. For comparison, the historical annual average has been between 28

and 29.

How can an increase in athlete deaths of nearly 1,700%

be explained? Is there another global environmental change that can account for this other than the sudden introduction and widespread uptake of experimental gene therapy? I can’t think of any.

Despite all the evidence showing the COVID shots are decimating populations around the world, Pfizer is hell-bent on keeping the booster train running. As previously reported, Pfizer quadrupled the price of its COVID jab in the wake of it being added to the U.S. childhood, adolescent and adult vaccine schedules.

Pfizer had forecasted expected revenues, and when demand for never-ending boosters started to drop off, they simply jacked up the unit price to make up the difference. The COVID shots are the company’s most profitable product to date, and it apparently doesn’t matter that they’re killing the user base. That should tell you something.

No criticism of any kind is permissible, as it might impact Pfizer’s bottom line. To protect its interests, Pfizer has even pressured social media companies to censor views on its behalf, including science-based opinions shared by actual scientists, researchers and even a former U.S. Food and Drug Administration chief. Evidence of this is found in the Twitter files released by Elon Musk. As reported by investigative journalist Alex Berenson:

“August 27, 2021, Dr. Scott Gottlieb — a Pfizer director with over 550,000 Twitter followers — saw a tweet he didn’t like, a tweet that might hurt sales of Pfizer’s mRNA vaccines.
The tweet explained correctly that natural immunity after COVID infection was superior to vaccine protection. It called on the White House to ‘follow the science’ and exempt people with natural immunity from upcoming vaccine mandates.
It came not from an ‘anti-vaxxer’ like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but from Dr. Brett Giroir, a physician who had briefly followed Gottlieb as the head of the Food and Drug Administration. Further, the tweet actually encouraged people who did not have natural immunity to ‘Get vaccinated!’ No matter …
Gottlieb was a senior board member at Pfizer, which depended on mRNA jabs for almost half its $81 billion in sales in 2021. Pfizer paid Gottlieb $365,000 for his work that year. Gottlieb stepped in, emailing Todd O’Boyle, a top lobbyist in Twitter’s Washington office who was also Twitter’s point of contact with the White House.
The post was ‘corrosive,’ Gottlieb wrote. He worried it would ‘end up going viral and driving news coverage’ … Through Jira, an internal system Twitter used for managing complaints, O’Boyle forwarded Gottlieb’s email to the Twitter ‘Strategic Response’ team …
‘Please see this report from the former FDA commissioner,’ O’Boyle wrote — failing to mention that Gottlieb was a Pfizer board member with a financial interest in pushing mRNA shots. A Strategic Response analyst quickly found the tweet did not violate any of the company’s misinformation rules.
Yet Twitter wound up flagging Giroir’s tweet anyway, putting a misleading tag on it and preventing almost anyone from seeing it. It remains tagged even though several large studies
have confirmed the truth of Giroir’s words.”

Gottlieb also asked Twitter to remove a post by Justin Hart that said “Sticks and stones may break my bones but a viral pathogen with a child mortality rate of <>0% has cost our children nearly three years of schooling.”

That time, to their credit, Twitter’s Strategic Response Team couldn’t identify a “crime” for which they might justify its removal. Gottlieb was also a central instigator for Twitter’s banning of Berenson. According to Berenson:

“Gottlieb’s action was part of a larger conspiracy that included the Biden White House and Andrew Slavitt, working publicly and privately to pressure Twitter until it had no choice but to ban me. I will have more to say about my own case and will be suing the White House, Slavitt, Gottlieb, and Pfizer shortly.”

When confronted about his behind-the-scenes correspondence with Twitter during an interview with CNBC host Joe Kernan, Gottlieb claimed he only asked Twitter to censor certain posts because he was concerned they might result in “physical threats” against vaccine advocates. He actually welcomes “respectful debate and dialogue,” he claimed.

Yet as Berenson notes, there was no insinuation of threat in Giroir’s tweet, or Hart’s for that matter. What’s more, in his email about Giroir’s tweet to O’Boyle, the only concern he raised was that it might drive news coverage in an unwanted direction.

If we’ve learned anything these past three years, it’s that we’re in a propaganda war. It’s a war for our mind, and if the globalist cabal wins that war, all freedom will be lost too. This is why it’s so important to understand how we’re being manipulated.

Fear is a primary tool, and as demonstrated in the NBC Chicago piece quoted from at the beginning of this article, they know how to make something completely innocuous sound scary.

In this case, the mildest variant to date is simply given a scary-sounding name (the Kraken), the World Health Organization warns it’s the “most transmissible” to date, and anyone with even the minutest amount of worry about COVID will be off and running.

The fact that experts say it causes nothing more than a mild cold won’t even register at that point. Nor will data showing the “vaccine” is dramatically increasing their risk of the very thing they fear — infection — and killing loads of people to boot.

That’s what’s so crazy about it, but it just goes to show how effective this kind of fear propaganda is, and the actual danger of falling for it. Believing the propaganda — that the shots are “safe and effective” — can literally kill you. The sooner a majority of people realize this, the safer we will all be.
