Happy Earthquake and Eclipse Week! This is going to be a super quick one as I’m buried in work (yes, this is not my full-time job although the length of some of these missives could fool ya).
New York had its first semi-legit Earthquake in about 100 years and as former Californian, I recognized it immediately. As someone who was near Ground Zero for the Northridge earthquake and made my peace with God quickly after being thrown from bed and experiencing a 7 story building swaying like a reed in a windstorm, this was more of a very big truck rolling by for about 30 seconds. It was a much more enjoyable sensation than Northridge and actually made me homesick for a moment after the adrenaline rush wore off.
So NY gets its first earthquake in modern times and we get a full eclipse on Tuesday (plus the restating of the CERN Supercollider the very same day).
While it may indeed be ‘End of Times’ and Revelations has its own spicy language on point (“When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood…”), I’d avoid hyper-dramatization and stick with the data.
These are all naturally occurring phenomena that occur at regular intervals and while the planet’s psyche is a bit on edge due to the incompetence and corruption of our leadership, I’d be more concerned with the Jihadists and Communists that have been given free rein the world over rather than natural phenomena behaving as they have for thousands of years.
Either way, I’ve pounded the table for the last 4 years that it never hurts to be prepared and on the safety front please remember, there is only one man strong enough to stare at a solar eclipse for an extended period of time with no damage. Don’t try this at home…
Colour War in Israel?
So Biden, Schumer, Pelosi and the rest of the demonic left are now engaging in a dangerous game of international interference that threatens the sovereignty of one of America's closest allies: Israel.
Drawing from the same playbook reminiscent of the 2014 events in Ukraine, where the State Dept and CIA fomented a so-called "Colour Revolution" against the elected Ukrainian government, there is growing evidence to suggest a similar strategy is being employed against the Israeli government. Such actions are not only reckless but also betray the principles of democratic sovereignty and mutual respect that should define the relationships between allies.
For those unfamiliar with a Colour War, please read below. It’s essentially when the national security apparatus of the US in conjunction with a big media and propaganda blitz mobilize in state assets to move against the government. It’s what we did in Ukraine in 2014 that inevitably led to the current conflict.
That the US would make shadowy moves like this while Israel is fighting for its life against demonic Jihadists who started the current war by slaughtering 1200 innocent women, children and civilians is especially repulsive.
More than 75% of Israelis support the current government’s wartime policies, even if they do not support Netanyahu himself. That’s a greater percentage than support anything Biden has done since coming to office 3 years ago and initiated the most stark and painful decline of our country most of us have seen in our lifetimes.
There have been reports that the leaders of this new round of protests in Israel are communicating directly with the Biden administration via secret WhatsApp chats. Riot leader Ami Dror revealed that the Biden Administration directly asked him to reinstate the protests that paralyzed the country earlier in the year.
Here’s Caroline Glick with the full scoop.
The very notion that the United States, who claims to be a beacon of democratic values, would actively work to undermine a democratically elected government is antithetical to American ideals.
Israel, as one of our most steadfast allies, particularly in the volatile Middle East, deserves our support and cooperation, not subversion. The implications of these actions extend far beyond the immediate political landscape, potentially destabilizing an already fragile region and compromising the security interests of both our nations.
This apparent attempt to orchestrate a political upheaval in Israel is a gross overstep of diplomatic boundaries and sets a dangerous precedent for international relations. Such meddling, especially square in the middle of an existential war for Israel’s very existence not only disrespects the democratic choice of the Israeli people but also undermines the very foundations of international law and order.
When Biden’s demented political corpse is long gone, it is imperative that we advocate for a return to principled diplomacy that respects the sovereignty of nations and the collective security of the democratic world.
U.S. involvement in internal Israeli politics is a matter of grave concern. It is a stark reminder of the need for a foreign policy that upholds the values of democracy, respects the autonomy of our allies, and fosters stability in an increasingly uncertain global landscape.
In the context of this complex geopolitical situation, it's crucial to underscore the stark contrasts between the democratic, human rights-focused Israeli government and the ideologies of terrorist death cults like Hamas.
Israel stands as a beacon of democratic values and liberties in a region where such principles are not always the norm. The nation's commitment to the rule of law, freedom of speech, and the protection of human rights starkly contrasts with the violent, terror-driven agenda of Hamas, an organization committed to the destruction of Israel through violent means.
The ongoing conflict, therefore, is not just a territorial dispute but a battle between fundamentally opposed values: on one side, a democratic state striving for peace and security within its borders, and on the other, a group that employs terror tactics to achieve its aims, showing little regard for the principles of peace, coexistence, and respect for human life.
The outcome of this conflict will have significant repercussions not only for Israel but for the Western world at large. A destabilized Israel, or worse, a victory for Hamas, would embolden jihadist movements across the globe, potentially leading to an increase in terrorism and instability in other regions. It would represent a setback for democratic values and human rights worldwide, sending a chilling message to other democratic nations that stand on the frontline against terrorism.
It is imperative, therefore, that the international community, especially allies like the United States, uphold their commitment to democracy, human rights, and the fight against terrorism by supporting Israel's right to defend itself against threats to its sovereignty and security. The consequences of failing to do so extend far beyond the borders of Israel, affecting the very fabric of democratic societies and the global struggle against terror.
Here’s Steve Bannon’s latest podcast that dives into the subject in greater detail.
The Quick and Dirty
Here’s a quick roundup of a few of the stories that are worth noting.
DOJ Requests prison time for woman who FOUND Ashley Biden’s Diary.
This is Aimee Harris. She found Ashley Biden’s diary in a Florida beach home and felt morally obligated to make it public. Now, Biden’s DOJ is seeking prison time as punishment and pretending she ‘stole it.’
In the diary, Ashley details how her father Joe Biden forced her to take inappropriate showers with him when she was a teenager that caused her to feel “turned on when she wasn't supposed to be” adding that it made her feel uncomfortable. Ashley Biden denied the existence of the dairy until she was caught on tape admitting it was hers. She even threatened to get secret service involved.
Once again the Biden DOJ is abusing the legal system like a dictatorship to punish people. This time over a dairy they claimed was fake.
Attempted Suicide Rates More Than Double After Gender-Reassignment Surgery:
Probably not surprising to most, but the statistics are still pretty shocking. Here’s ZeroHedge with the summary:
Rates of attempted suicide who identified as transgender more than doubled after receiving a vaginoplasty (surgically turning one's dick into a vagina), according to a peer-reviewed study published in The Journal of Urology.
The study looked at rates of psychiatric emergencies both before and after gender-altering surgery among 869 males who went under the knife, and 357 females who underwent phalloplasty (turning one's vagina into a dick) in California between 2012 and 2018.
While researchers found that rates of 'psychiatric emergencies' were high both before and after gender-altering surgery, suicide attempts were markedly higher among those who received vaginoplasties, the Epoch Times reports.
"In fact, our observed rate of suicide attempts in the phalloplasty group is actually similar to the general population, while the vaginoplasty group’s rate is more than double that of the general population," wrote the author of the study.
Among the 869 patients who underwent vaginoplasty, 38 patients attempted suicide—with nine attempts before surgery, 25 after surgery, and four attempts before and after surgery. Researchers found a 1.5 percent overall risk of suicide before vaginoplasty and a 3.3 percent risk of suicide after the procedure. Almost 3 percent of those who attempted suicide after undergoing vaginoplasty did not present with a risk of suicide prior to surgery.
Among the 357 biologically female patients who underwent phalloplasty, there were six suicide attempts with a 0.8 percent risk of suicide before and after surgery. -Epoch Times
Aside from suicide attempts, the study found that the proportion of those who experienced an emergency room and inpatient psychiatric encounter was similar between the two groups - with 22.2% of vaginoplasty and 20.7% of phalloplasty groups experiencing at least one psychiatric encounter.
According to the study, 33.9% of biological males undergoing vaginopasty would experience a post-surgery psychiatric encounter vs. 26.5% for biological women who underwent phalloplasty, if an episode had occurred before surgery.
That's a lot.
As the Epoch Times notes further:
Suicide Rate 19-Fold Higher
In an interview with The Epoch Times, Dr. Alfonso Oliva, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, said research into the psychiatric outcomes and long-term follow-up of those who have sex-reassignment surgery is lacking, but an important paper is worth mentioning. In a 2011 paper published in PLOS ONE, researchers found that people who underwent sex reassignment surgery had substantially higher rates of overall mortality, suicidal behavior, and psychiatric morbidity compared with the general population.
“It’s hard to refute this paper because it’s a longitudinal study,” Dr. Oliva said. “In Sweden, everyone is in a database, and through diagnosis codes, they’re able to follow what happens to every citizen in terms of their medical history. They waited more than 10 years after people had surgery and found that death by suicide had an adjusted hazard ratio of 19.1.”
You can “quibble” about emergency room encounters, but this study shows that for patients who had transgender surgery, their suicide rate after 10 years was 19-fold higher than the general population, Dr. Oliva said. Additionally, the study excluded people with psychiatric illnesses, so these are individuals thought to have no psychiatric illness outside of dysphoria.
Oil, Bitcoin and Gold All Telegraphing Something Wicked This Way Comes
Keep an eye on gold, bitcoin and oil. All ‘inflation-sesnsitve’ assets. All moving higher in tandem. Inflation is structurally embedded at this point and the Fed shouldn’t even be thinking about cutting rates (in fact, they should have been higher over the last year as markets are at an all time high, so is inflation, commodities, etc.).
Gold and Bitcoin should be viewed as a barometer for the health and trust in the current global and US financial system. The higher they go, the less confidence market participants have in our financial and economic status system.
Safe and Effective Vax + Paxlovid. Somehow, Pfizer Still in Business.
Judge 'FORCES' CDC to release hidden COVID-19 Vaccine Injury Reports. Nothing new here to my readers, but still worth a read. Still blows my mind that not a single person has been held accountable for the biggest act of medical malpractice in history.
On the same vein, Pfizer released their Paxlovid study 2 years late and surprisingly (heavy sarcasm), the results show the Covid treatment drug doesn’t work in the least and produces 26x the rebound symptoms of doing nothing. (add Jordan)
Here’s Jordan Schachtel again with the scoop:
Pfizer first scammed the world with its “100% safe and effective” Covid mRNA vaccines, and as it turns out, that was just the opening salvo from a pharmaceutical cartel that is inundated with corruption and deceit.
I wanted to turn your attention to two significant recent studies on Paxlovid, the Covid-19 oral pill that the U.S. government spent $12.6 billion taxpayer dollars on subsidizing for Pfizer.
The first study, which is brought to you by Pfizer funds (though they noticeably don’t use the brand name Paxlovid in the study), finds that Paxlovid does not actually work. They’ve known this since July, 2022, but for reasons unknown, waited two years to publish the results.
“The time to sustained alleviation of all signs and symptoms of Covid-19 did not differ significantly between participants who received nirmatrelvir–ritonavir (Paxlovid) and those who received placebo,” the authors write in this New England Journal of Medicine study, which was published on April 3rd.
That’s right. It doesn’t work at all.
In rolling out Paxlovid, Pfizer claimed in a press release that its preliminary data showed an 89% reduction in hospitalization and deathfor patients who took the pill.
Curiously, the Pfizer-funded study concluded in July 2022, just months after Paxlovid became available, but this seems to be the first time that results have been public.
Now, hundreds of millions of manufactured doses later, the most sophisticated apples to apples comparison shows that it isn’t effective whatsoever.
But it gets worse.
Remember “Paxlovid rebound”?
That’s short for people’s symptoms coming back after taking a course of Paxlovid.
When Paxlovid first hit pharmacy shelves, Pfizer claimed that Paxlovid rebound was inconsequential, amounting to 1 or 2 percent of patientswho were prescribed the drug.
But a late March study publishedin The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that about 1 in 4 patients on Paxlovid suffered from “Paxlovid rebound.” This study didn’t just analyze the presence of viral fragments. It found that 24.5 percent of enrolled patients on Paxlovid suffered from *symptomatic* rebound.
Now it makes sense why so many highprofilefigures, such as Joe Biden and Anthony Fauci, had bouts of “Paxlovid rebound.” It isn’t rare whatsoever.
Now imagine if Pfizer told the truth about its failed Covid-19 drug from the beginning. That truth would’ve resulted in Pfizer taking a massive financial hit, given that they relied on Paxlovid to sustain their multi billion dollar profit margins.
Meanwhile, Pfizer’s market value has continued to crash over the past year. Fewer and fewer people are buying what Pfizer is selling.
Now who will be held accountable for the greatest pharmaceutical fraud and swindle operation of all time?
Havana Syndrome
Havana Syndrome has emerged as a puzzling phenomenon, particularly among American intelligence officers, who've reported a range of disturbing symptoms from unexplained aches and persistent ear ringing to more complex cognitive disruptions. Intriguingly, a notable fraction of the affected personnel have prior engagements in intelligence activities concerning Russia.
Yet, the U.S. Intelligence Community, despite thorough investigations, has yet to find concrete evidence linking these auditory disturbances directly to Vladimir Putin or the Russian state. Nonetheless, there's a persistent chorus of voices suggesting Russian culpability.
It's worth noting that the individuals leading the charge in bringing Havana Syndrome to public attention are deeply entrenched in political circles. Adding fuel to the speculative fire, the mainstream media has recently been ablaze with discussions sparked by a CBS report. This report alleges that for over a decade, the Russian government has been clandestinely developing directed energy weapons, purportedly deploying these sophisticated tools against operatives of the U.S. intelligence community. The narrative weaves a complex tapestry of intrigue, blending the mysterious with geopolitical tensions.
Here’s the 60 Minutes segment itself (perhaps the first one I’ve watched in years).
It’s an excellent case study in MSM deductive leaps to serve a political purpose.
breaks down the entire mystery and offers some guidance on watching these types of clips.If the Havana wave weapon is real, I would suggest Russia use it on these two idiots trying to start World War 3. Russia has always said from the get go that Ukraine joining NATO is a nonstarter and red line that will result in war. It’s the equivalent of the CCP forming an alliance with Mexico and parking troops and missiles directly on the US border. We’d never allow it and neither should Russia. It’s mind boggling that we continue down this road even after the entirely avoidable deaths of half a million Ukrainians in a war they cannot win.
Why Did God Create Evil?
This is probably the best answer I've ever heard to the question, "Why did God create evil?"
Why did God create evil? The answer struck me to the core of my soul!
A professor at the university asked his students the following question:
- Everything that exists was created by God?
One student bravely answered:
- Yes, created by God.
- Did God create everything? - a professor asked.
“Yes, sir,” replied the student.
The professor asked :
- If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And according to the principle that our deeds define ourselves, then God is evil.
The student became silent after hearing such an answer. The professor was very pleased with himself. He boasted to students for proving once again that faith in God is a myth.
Another student raised his hand and said:
- Can I ask you a question, professor?
"Of course," replied the professor.
A student got up and asked:
- Professor, is cold a thing?
- What kind of question? Of course it exists. Have you ever been cold?
Students laughed at the young man's question. The young man answered:
- Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is actually the absence of heat. A person or object can be studied on whether it has or transmits energy.
Absolute zero (-460 degrees Fahrenheit) is a complete absence of heat. All matter becomes inert and unable to react at this temperature. Cold does not exist. We created this word to describe what we feel in the absence of heat.
A student continued:
- Professor, does darkness exist?
— Of course it exists.
- You're wrong again, sir. Darkness also does not exist. Darkness is actually the absence of light. We can study the light but not the darkness. We can use Newton's prism to spread white light across multiple colors and explore the different wavelengths of each color. You can't measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into the world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you tell how dark a certain space is? You measure how much light is presented. Isn't it so? Darkness is a term man uses to describe what happens in the absence of light.
In the end, the young man asked the professor:
- Sir, does evil exist?
This time it was uncertain, the professor answered:
- Of course, as I said before. We see him every day. Cruelty, numerous crimes and violence throughout the world. These examples are nothing but a manifestation of evil.
To this, the student answered:
- Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist for itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is like darkness and cold—a man-made word to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not faith or love, which exist as light and warmth. Evil is the result of the absence of Divine love in the human heart. It’s the kind of cold that comes when there is no heat, or the kind of darkness that comes when there’s no light.
The student's name was Albert Einstein.
