PB article on distribution of the CV (fake) vax spike protein in the body:

>>64463 More on dangers of spike protein from Drs Bridle & Doshi

This is such a critically important issue, i wanted to added the rest.

CAP has the entire article.

Pfizer & Moderna Fail To Respond To British Medical Journal About COVID Vaccine Safety Concerns - PT 2

[Begins by explaining a quote from Dr. Byram Bridle, who first pointed out the problem of the spike protein being distributed throughout the body:]

The above quote comes from a detailed report Bridle recently released for COVID-19: “A Vaccine Guide For Parents.” One of his main concerns is that the spike protein that our cells manufacture after injection enter into the bloodstream, and that the spike protein itself isn’t harmless. He goes into a detailed explanation in the report cited above.

According to him,

This information is incredibly important because recent data have come to light that the spike protein is “biologically active.”

This means that the spike protein is not just an antigen that is recognized the immune system as being foreign.

It means that the spike protein, itself, can interact with receptors throughout the body, called ACE2 receptors, potentially causing undesirable effects such as damage to the heart and cardiovascular system, blood clots, bleeding, and neurological effects.

Again, the report is quite detailed and you can access it here if you’re interested.

Bridle is not the only one raising these concerns. He, like many other professionals out there, have been subjected to “fact checking” via Facebook third party fact checkers. Here’s a response from PolitiFact regarding Bridle’s claims and the science he points to.

PolitiFact claims that there is no evidence that the spike protein is ‘a toxin.’ They cite opinions from the CDC and other researchers claiming that no evidence has yet emerged stating the spike protein is dangerous.

But they are not actually addressing the cited science Bridle is pointing to, they are merely saying everything he is saying is wrong.

This type of baseless ‘fact checking’ has been a problem during the entire pandemic.

A recent article published in the British Medical Journal by journalist Laurie Clarke has highlighted the fact that

- Facebook has already removed at least 16 million pieces of content from its platform and added warnings to approximately 167 million others

- YouTube has removed nearly 1 million videos related to, according to them, “dangerous or misleading covid-19 medical information.”

The article explains why fact-checking scientists has been nothing short of censorship of both evidence and educated opinion. This has happened numerous times throughout the pandemic with multiple renowned scientists. I recently wrote about a couple of examples here, and here, if you’d like to dig deeper.

It’s telling when science, evidence and opinions of experts are censored and subjected to ridicule throughout a global event like this. One has to ask: what is the motivation? Does a clear headed society seek to censor?

Any narrative that questions what we are receiving from government, health authorities, and mainstream media have been completely unacknowledged. Effectively dividing the public on important issues.

Once again, this begs the question, why? You would think it a time like this discussion and evidence would be shared openly and transparently, instead, we’ve seen the exact opposite.

Operation Ajax – 1953 Iranian coup d’état

Background

The 1953 Iranian coup d’état, known in Iran as the 28 Mordad coup d’état was the overthrow of the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in favour of strengthening the monarchical rule of the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi on 19 August 1953. It was orchestrated by the United States (under the name TPAJAX Project or “Operation Ajax”) and the United Kingdom (under the name “Operation Boot”). The clergy also played a considerable role.

Rep. Thomas Massie slams Fauci and CDC for COVID-19 'coverup': 'One of the biggest scandals during this whole pandemic'

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) shut down a reporter who demanded to know the congressman's vaccination status during a press conference. Massie also blasting Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for an alleged "coverup" of natural immunity.

While advocating that Americans get the coronavirus vaccine, Massie also touted the effectiveness of natural immunity, adding that the critical voices in U.S. health have downplayed "natural protection" to those who had already been infected with COVID-19.

"One of the biggest scandals during this whole pandemic is the coverup that's been committed by Dr. Fauci and the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] — especially the CDC — about the effectiveness of immunity that's conferred after a natural infection, after you've recovered from [COVID], they've completely ignored that," Massie said during a news conference earlier this week. "They want everybody to get vaccinated, even those who don't need [to be] vaccinated."

Massie said to "follow the science," and cited the Moderna trials that he said showed "no benefit of the vaccine to those who recovered from infection." He then noted that the trials of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine "showed there was no benefit to those who had recovered from infection."

"I'm not saying go out and get the virus instead of getting the vaccine. The vaccine can save lives, it's certain," Massie stated. "But there's no need…to get the vaccine if you've already recovered from COVID. There's no need to expose yourself to that danger."

Massie referred to a five-month study from the Cleveland Clinic on 52,238 employees, which found that "none of the previously infected employees who remained unvaccinated were re-infected over the duration of the study."

The CDC website states: "Getting COVID-19 may offer some natural protection, known as immunity. Current evidence suggests that reinfection with the virus that causes COVID-19 is uncommon in the 90 days after initial infection. However, experts don't know for sure how long this protection lasts, and the risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19 far outweighs any benefits of natural immunity."

A reporter asked Massie if he had been vaccinated, to which he barked back, "Well, first of all, it's none of your business, but I'm gonna tell you."

"I'm not vaccinated, and until there's some science—by the way I have a master's of science degree from MIT, I'm not a virologist but I can read data," the congressman, who earned a master's degree in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said. "Everybody just needs to read. Don't put your head in the sand. Look at the data."

"I'm not gonna get the vaccine until there's data that shows that it will improve upon the immunity that's been conferred to me as a result of a natural infection that I had," Massie explained.

#nunya, the full clip. https://t.co/tjTBdjZCfn

— Thomas Massie (@Thomas Massie)1623970522.0

In August 2020, Massie announced that he had recovered from COVID-19 and tested positive for antibodies, which prompted him to donate plasma.

Massie made his comments during a press conference about the House Republican-sponsored Fire Fauci Act, which reduces the salary of Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and calls for an examination of his correspondences and expenditures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fauci is the highest-paid federal government employee, reportedly raking in $417,608 in 2019.

AZ Audit Reviewing Thousands of Ballots Where Machines Did Not Detect Vote for President, Audit Liaison Says

Ken Bennett, Senate liaison to the Maricopa County, Arizona, election audit, stated on Friday there are more than 33,000 ballots from November’s election where voters made no selection for president, or at least no votes that were detected by the voting machines.

“There were over 33,000 undervotes,” Bennett told The Western Journal. “There may be, you know, a certain number of people that didn’t want to vote for [Democrat Joe] Biden or [Republican Donald] Trump or [Libertarian Jo] Jorgensen or anyone else, so they may, in fact, be undervotes.”

“But if someone circled their oval or made a check next to it or did something other than get pixels of blackness inside the oval, almost one percent of the 3.4 million people that voted in Arizona, the machines did not record any vote for president,” he added.

Bennett, who served as Arizona’s secretary of state from 2009 to 2015 after a stint as the state’s senate president, said the hand count of all Maricopa County’s 2.1 million ballots, which was completed this week, included reviewing the undervote ballots.

“If we find some people that circled their oval or made a checkmark next to it, not every one of those is probably going to be for Trump or not every one is going to be for Biden. So will it make a difference in the outcome? Maybe, maybe not.”

According to the Maricopa County recorder’s office, the number of undervotes in November’s election was 8,475 within its jurisdiction.

Maricopa County, which encompasses the Phoenix metropolitan area, makes up over 60 percent of the state’s population, but apparently only accounted for about 25 percent of the over 33,000 undervote ballots.

He noted just how narrow Biden’s win over Trump was in Arizona. Just 0.3 percent, or approximately 10,500 votes.

Maricopa County was the only county in the state to flip from red to blue from 2016 to 2020.

Royal Caribbean delays cruise ship after 8 crew members test positive for Covid

Odyssey of the Seas' inaugural sailing, originally scheduled for July 3, is now set for July 31.

June 16, 2021, 4:30 AM PDT

By Wilson Wong

Royal Caribbean International is delaying the inaugural sailing of its Odyssey of the Seas cruise ship after eight crew members tested positive for Covid-19, officials said Tuesday.

"During routine testing, eight crew members received a positive test result for Covid-19," company CEO Michael Bayley said in a statement. "All 1,400 crew onboard Odyssey of the Seas were vaccinated on June 4th and will be considered fully vaccinated on June 18."

Out of the eight cases, six people were asymptomatic and two had mild symptoms, he said. All who tested positive for Covid-19, as well as hundreds of other crew members, are under quarantine and being monitored by a medical team.

Odyssey of the Seas' inaugural sailing, originally scheduled for July 3, is now set for July 31.

"While disappointing, this is the right decision for the health and well-being of our crew and guests," Bayley added.

The announcement came less than a week after two passengers tested positive for Covid-19 on Celebrity Millennium, another subsidiary owned by the Royal Caribbean Group.

Lawfare Activists Apoplectic Because The Arizona Senate Will Not Provide Advanced Details of Internal Audit Documents'

Lawfare Activists Apoplectic Because The Arizona Senate Will Not Provide Advanced Details of Internal Audit Documents

June 19, 2021 | sundance

The Lawfare activists are screaming foul because the Arizona Senate is not turning over documents from ongoing investigative measures taking place during the audit of Maricopa County.

The group known as American Oversight is a Lawfare group working on behalf of the DNC and allied left-wing activists. They have filed suit against the Arizona senate trying to find evidence they can use to marginalize the audit before the findings are made public.

Seemingly pretending not to know about the separation of power between the state legislative body and the state judicial branch, the activists are filing suits to get access to the evidence in an ongoing Senate investigation.

Essentially, this is akin to demanding to sue for legislative content before the Senate can create the law and/or the harm from that law.

It is a clear Lawfare fishing expedition.

Remember, in order for far-left ideologues to advance their ideology, and/or ideological narratives, they must pretend not to know things. Another way to look at this is the Arizona Senate subpoena -which initiated the audit- is akin to an ongoing investigation. The Lawfare group are trying to get custody of details of the investigative techniques being used (forensic audit) in order to undermine the investigation itself.

To advance this narrative the leftists are using another Alinsky maneuver: “make your opposition live up to their own rules”. The Lawfare tribe is accusing the Arizona Senate of not being transparent in their process.

An easy smack-down (with a current familiarity) would be to juxtapose this Lawfare demand against the House Judiciary Committee as they worked to assemble the articles of impeachment behind closed doors. The leftist tribe would clutch their pearls if anyone sued them to find out in advance what details were being assembled in the articles before they were made public…. but that’s essentially what their demand is in Arizona.

Pennsylvania poised to begin Arizona-style election audit with subpoena power

Pennsylvania appears to be on the precipice of initiating an Arizona-style audit of the 2020 election.

State Sen. David Argall, who heads a committee that oversees elections, told local news outlets he favors a forensic audit of the contest that state and federal officials insist was secure.

The Republican, under pressure by former President Donald Trump to take action, told the Capital-Star the audit is now a “very real possibility." The report said he is considering subpoenas for ballot information and which jurisdictions to send them.

“There are a lot of things under consideration right now, and I told them to check back in a week or two, and we hope to have some more detail,” he told the outlet after meeting with audit-supporting activists on Thursday.

Bank Stocks Lurch Into Ranks of June’s Worst as Rally Unravels

U.S. bank stocks are morphing from leaders into losers amid more signs that their searing 35% rally through this year’s first five months may have outrun the fundamentals.

With two weeks left in the quarter, some investors aren’t waiting around to find out. The S&P 500 Banks Index, which rose three times more than the broad market through May, slid 8.1% this past week and more than 10% so far this month. This left indexes of the largest U.S. diversified lenders and regional banks ranking among June’s worst performers, with Citigroup Inc.’s drop of 14% leading its money-center peers and Regions Financial Corp. slumping 17%. The selloff coincides with the plateauing of earnings estimates and a rotation into growth stocks from value. It didn’t help that leaders of the biggest banks started the week by warning about a slump in trading revenue. Without stronger lending and a boost from higher interest rates, earnings probably won’t pick up.

JPMorgan Chase & Co., the largest U.S. bank, set the tone on Monday when Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon warned that net interest income will be lower than previously anticipated, and that second-quarter trading revenue would be 38% below where it was a year ago. A similar message from Citigroup Chief Financial Officer Mark Mason sent the lender spiraling by as much as 5% on Wednesday.

Trading is more important to the big money-center institutions that run investment banks, but sluggish loan growth has also been a drag, and that’s central to the fortunes of regional banks. Profits have been helped by releasing reserves that had been set aside to cover loan losses that never materialized, thanks to massive federal stimulus programs that kept defaults at bay, but those releases are one-shot gains.

Election Worker Ralph Jones Is Now Caught Double-Counting Ballots at the State Farm Center on Election Night

A new report confirms Fulton County election worker Ruby Freeman was not the only leftist operative double counting stacks of ballots in Atlanta on election night. Top Atlanta election official Ralph Jones was also double scanning ballots late at night at the State Farm Center in Atlanta, Georgia on election night.

Ralph Jones was the person who sent home all of the election observers.

Then his crew, including Ruby and daughter Shaye, went to work on election night!

Just the News released an explosive report on Thursday night exposing massive fraud in the Fulton County Georgia 2020 presidential election.

A handpicked contractor in the State Farm Arena, Carter Jones from Seven Hill Strategies, wrote a 29-page memo back in November outlining the “massive” election integrity failures and mismanagement that he witnessed in the Atlanta-area’s election centers.

All Olympic live viewing events in Tokyo to be canceled: Gov. Koike

Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike said Saturday that all live public viewing events during this summer's Olympics and Paralympics in the Japanese capital will be canceled, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

After holding talks with Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, the governor told reporters that some of the six venues planned to be used for the screenings will instead be used for COVID-19 vaccinations. The announcement was made with just about one month to go until the opening of the Tokyo Olympics, with public concern about a potential spike in coronavirus cases driven by more contagious new variants remaining strong.

The venues included Yoyogi, Inokashira and Hibiya parks in the capital, which on Saturday reported 388 new COVID-19 infections. The meeting between Suga and Koike, the first since May 21, came ahead of an online meeting Monday by organizers of the Olympics and Paralympics at which they will decide on a limit on spectators at the games. After deciding to end a COVID-19 state of emergency in Tokyo and other parts of Japan on Thursday, Suga, speaking at a press conference, expressed his willingness to stage the games with some spectators. The Japanese government has said it will allow up to 10,000 people at large events in Japan, as long as they do not exceed 50 percent of venue capacity, in areas that are not under a state of emergency or a quasi-state of emergency.

Japanese government and Olympic officials are considering applying the policy also to the Olympics, due to begin July 23, and the Paralympics.

China killed CIA sources, hobbled U.S. spying from 2010 to 2012: NYT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - China killed or imprisoned 18 to 20 CIA sources from 2010 to 2012, hobbling U.S. spying operations in a massive intelligence breach whose origin has not been identified, the New York Times reported on Saturday.

Investigators remain divided over whether there was a spy within the Central Intelligence Agency who betrayed the sources or whether the Chinese hacked the CIA’s covert communications system, the newspaper reported, citing current and former U.S. officials.

The Chinese killed at least a dozen people providing information to the CIA from 2010 through 2012, dismantling a network that was years in the making, the newspaper reported.

One was shot and killed in front of a government building in China, three officials told the Times, saying that was designed as a message to others about working with Washington.

The breach was considered particularly damaging, with the number of assets lost rivaling those in the Soviet Union and Russia who perished after information passed to Moscow by spies Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen, the report said. Ames was active as a spy in the 1980s and Hanssen from 1979 to 2001.

The Chinese activities began to emerge in 2010, when the American spy agency had been getting high quality information about the Chinese government from sources deep inside the bureaucracy, including Chinese upset by the Beijing government’s corruption, four former officials told the Times.

The information began to dry up by the end of the year and the sources began disappearing in early 2011, the report said.

As more sources were killed the FBI and the CIA began a joint investigation of the breach, examining all operations run in Beijing and every employee of the U.S. Embassy there.

Technology company remotely turns up Texas ‘smart thermostats’ during heat spike, report

"They woke up sweating," one man says of family.

At least one company is reportedly turning up Texas consumers’ digital "smart thermometers" remotely during the state’s ongoing heat spike in an effort to conserve energy.

A homeowner told local media his wife and daughters "woke up sweating" after an afternoon nap to find the temperature on their home thermostat had been raised.

The company that installed their thermostat allegedly informed them that it had raised their house’s temperature remotely during an "energy saving event."

The company, EnergyHub, stipulates on its website that consumers who enter a $5,000 promotional sweepstakes must allow the company to "control his or her thermostat to reduce demand during a specified event period."

However, it's unclear whether just those who entered the sweepstakes or all customers were subject to the thermostat changes.
