It's a federal thing (SSA). Get federal funding and you're still required to go by CDC recommendations. Our hospital (CMS money) is required to go by weekly county transmission rates. Low rate=no masking that week. High rate=face diapers.

Yes, it's childish and wholely ineffective at doing anything besides pissing people off, but if we want to keep the doors open...well....

^^^Not only federal funding related...SSA is a Federal Agency, it's on Federal Property (even if they're just leasing the space), and filled w/ Federal Employees! Unfortunately, they can do anything they want on that property, apparently up to and including the restriction of our 2A Rights!

This has been the premise of .gov forever. The people of the United States are simply useful tax fodder to them. What we want or need is of secondary importance.

The narrative is hanging on by a thread, and covid cashperts, I mean paid experts — in a pathetically obvious attempt to get folks to pay any attention at all to their brand-new-and-improved variant — are pulling out all the stops.

Last week Jimmy Fallon ‘sang’ an appalling and frankly embarrassing song on live TV about “XBB.1.5:”



Then over the last few days, corporate media has been valiantly efforting a salty new movement to brand the next variant with a more memorable name than a bunch of capital letters and numbers. Unfortunately, they may have overshot the mark — just a smidge — when they hysterically labeled it, “the Kraken.” I am not making that up.

The actual Kraken is a terrifying, Godzilla-sized, civilization-destroying, killer mega-squid:

(The “real” Kraken is also fictional. So. Just saying.)

On the other hand, variant XBB.1.5, a/k/a “the Kraken,” is a tiny microscopic virus that causes a mild cold in some people. Sore throat, runny nose, mild cough. Well, except for triple-boosted people, who are at highest risk of hospitalization, and are being advised by experts to take MORE of the magic jab juice. You see, the trillions of tiny spikes filling your veins are like little-bitty harpoons to attack the microscopic kraken virus.

Take your jabs! This fearsome monster must be destroyed, at all costs! Sure, there could be collateral damage. But, for the love of Her Majesty’s Navy! Have you no feelings, man? It’s the Kraken!

Maybe they made a typo, and their original intent was to label it "The Karen".

An actual Karen is an obnoxious, angry, entitled woman who attempts to police other people’s behaviors. Sort of like the CDC......

Fear seems to be the only weapon left available to the people trying to keep the narrative alive, but only the severely mentally impaired or those scarred with repeated mental bludgeoning seem to be falling for it anymore. Quite simply, the average person has finally broken themselves free from the shackles of ignorance over the complete lack of efficacy of the various snake oil concoctions. The abysmal uptake of the newest so called “vaccines” are proof of this.

Make no mistake, there are still dyed in the wool loonies out there that refuse to accept that the “vaccines” are failures. But their numbers are dropping more every day. During my run-up to recent surgery, I have seen first hand how in general, people, including health care professionals, are done with this. Where I had my pre-op bloodwork drawn, a mask was not required. The tech basically agreed that the vaccines don’t work. She got the original 2 shot, but will not be getting any boosters. She was very frank about her position on the matter. They don’t work.

At the hospital, even as one of the unwashed unvaccinated, I was not required to wear a mask. Hell, the security and check-in folks didn’t either. From check in all the way up to when they put me under, no mask. From the time I set foot in the hospital to the time they wheeled me to the car, at no time did I catch even a hint of disdain from anyone staff or otherwise as to my “vaccination” status or lack of a chin diaper.

The drive to terrify the people with fear is ending. Assholes like Fauci and Biden can tut-tut all they want but the people are finally waking up. Even in leftist shitholes. We are done with the lies, including the repetitive snake oil injections.

The Club of Rome is the pre-cursor to the WEF and the Global Reset.

"Proof" is a difficult concept. In mathematics, a proof is different than in law. What is the standard? It may be "a preponderance of the evidence" or it may be "beyond a reasonable doubt". Those are different standards but regardless of the standard of proof you can't prove something to someone who won't honestly consider the evidence.

Steve Kirsch looks at the evidence ... and tries to get others to look at the evidence:

MIT Professor Retsef Levi speaks with me about how the Israeli Ministry of Health ignored all the safety data on the COVID vax

The inside scoop on the how the Israeli MoH commissioned a safety study and when the results were bad, they quashed the study and stopped collecting new safety data. That's [now] how science works.

For background on the Israeli MoH safety study, see The Israeli Ministry of Health hid COVID serious adverse event data from the public.

I’m a big believer in empirically based science. Observation plays a big part in gathering empirical evidence. By doing so, one is able to connect the dots that tend to get erased by those telling everyone to “follow the science”. As we’ve learned throughout the plandemic, “science” is what they tell us it is and not to question it.

Evidence over the last three years plainly points to the inescapable facts that the “vaccines” are not vaccines. Period. Those that know better than us even changed the definition of the word vaccine so that the untested, untrialed garbage fit the new definition. Equally inescapable are the facts that the “vaccines” enhance infection in those that got them, and that deaths and injury occurred as a direct result of these injections if far greater numbers than other actual vaccines. People ignore what they can plainly see at their own peril.

Correlation is easily proved right now. The issue is causation. The cardiac and stroke events are already acknowledged officially, but called "rare". Nobody is looking at the bodies of suddenly dead healthy adults. Nobody is seriously investigating the cause of individuals who survive a cardiac or stroke event.

Things like cancers, neurologic problems, future heart problems, etc are being ignored as to a link to the jabs.

This will make it very difficult for any individual to prove a jab caused their medical problem. That's a legal thing. But on the pure science angle it will become ever more provably certain that very many people have been seriously harmed or killed.

The Pentagon has formally ended their COVID-19 mandate for the Armed Forces.

Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) posted the official memo for Pentagon leaders on Twitter on Tuesday night. In the memo, the Secretary of Defense praises officials for their efforts to combat the virus throughout the pandemic. It goes on to explain the rolling back of COVID protocols.

Section 525 of the NDAA for FY 2023 requires me to rescind the mandate that members of the Armed Forces be vaccinated against COVID-19, issued in my August 24, 2021 memorandum, “Mandatory Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination of Department of Defense Service Members.” I hereby rescind the memorandum.

The Pentagon also rescinded the same mandate for members of the National Guard and the Ready Reserve.

The memo indicates that members of the Armed Forces who refused the vaccine will not be allowed to experience any “adverse actions” if they requested reprieve based on religious liberty.

The Secretaries of the Military Departments will update the records of requests, including letters of reprimand. The Secretaries of the Military Departments will further cease any ongoing reviews of current Service member religious, administrative, or medical accommodation requests solely for exemption from the COVID-19 vaccine or appeals of denials of such requests.

Roy called the move “an important step,” but emphasized that there is more to do. For now, those previously dismissed for their refusals to take the vaccine will have the right to have their records updated to strike any negative language or characterizations. It is not clear if any member of the Armed Forces unfairly dismissed will have a path to return to service.

The best evidence is that excess deaths aren't a news story. If the cause wasn't known, and that it is intentional, it'd be the biggest news story in years.

Myocarditis: Once Rare, Now Common

As an actively practicing clinical cardiologist for many years in three different communities, I knew about myocarditis. I just never saw it. Quite literally, I recall seeing ONE young woman who presented with a picture of acute congestive heart failure, and her echocardiogram study revealed a big and poorly contracting heart. Such a condition is diagnosed as an idiopathic congestive cardiomyopathy, which basically means the heart is enlarged and functioning very poorly, and you have no idea why. After treating her with traditional measures for congestive heart failure, she started getting better. To my great surprise, after six to nine months of follow-up, her echocardiogram had returned to normal.

Retrospectively, it was then clear that she had likely contracted a virus that focused on her heart. The virus-induced inflammation in her heart muscle cells then decreased the strength of her heart contractions to the point of clinical heart failure with heart enlargement. Presumably, her young immune system eventually "kicked in" and eliminated the viral culprit. Even as a clinician who also received many patients in consultation from other doctors, she represented the entirety of my cases of myocarditis. And at that, the diagnosis was only a retrospective conclusion.

COVID and Myocarditis

Today, the active clinical cardiologist is seeing myocarditis patients on a regular basis. The scientific literature indicates that myocarditis is occurring quite frequently in patients harboring the chronic presence of the COVID-related spike protein. This is being seen in many individuals with persistent chronic COVID, many of whom have been vaccinated, as well as in a substantial number of individuals who have been vaccinated and have never contracted COVID. [1-4] A study in mice showed that the injection of the mRNA vaccine (which produces the spike protein) reliably induced myopericarditis. [5] Regardless of the initial source of exposure to spike protein, it appears to be the reason for the pathology and symptoms seen in chronic COVID. [6]

While not yet clearly documented by any well-designed studies in the medical literature, a great deal of anecdotal information indicates that vaccine mRNA shedding can occur. And once transmitted, the mRNA directly leads to spike protein production. [7] Such mRNA shedding means that the spike protein is indirectly, if not directly as well, transmissible from one individual to another via inhalation or various forms of skin contact. In fact, Pfizer's own internal documents advise about the possibility of "environmental exposure" by "inhalation or skin contact" of the mRNA in the vaccine being transmitted from a vaccinated individual to another person. [8] Furthermore, while many try to dismiss such an "exposure" as too minimal to be of clinical consequence, such an assertion cannot be assumed to be true when dealing with an agent (spike protein) that appears capable of replication once it gains access to the body. The toxicity associated with spike protein would not be due to a one-time exposure, but one that could persist indefinitely because of this ability to replicate. A toxin that has such an ability is truly a clinical nightmare. It is never a good idea to overestimate the integrity of the pharmaceutical industry. [9]

The spike protein is the part of the COVID pathogen that facilitates its entry into various cells in the body. [10] This cellular entry occurs after the spike protein binds to ACE2 receptors present on the cell membranes found in a wide variety of tissues and organs. Spike protein binding to ACE2 receptors in the lungs, heart, and blood vessels has proven to be of particular importance in determining the severity of many COVID infections as well as the nature of the side effects seen following a spike protein vaccination. Deaths and severe complications have also resulted from vaccine-induced thrombosis occurring in the cerebrovascular circulation. [11,12] Autopsy evaluation of multiple vaccinated individuals who died shortly after receiving their vaccinations revealed acute myocarditis as the only logical cause of their deaths. [13]

Sufficient spike protein binding to ACE2 receptors on the endothelial cells lining the blood vessels has consistently resulted in increased blood clotting. Such clots are tiny in some people, which can then lead to various degrees of tissue and organ damage depending on how severely overall blood flow is impaired to those areas. [14,15] Other clots can rapidly increase in size and result in sudden death. [16] Spike protein can activate blood clotting by binding directly to the ACE2 receptors of platelets in the blood. [17,18] Also, circulating spike protein that has not yet been bound appears to stimulate hypercoagulation as well. [19] Of note, both Pfizer and Moderna appear quite proud to assert that their final formulations supply the "full-length" spike protein in the injections.

Myocarditis, which simply means inflammation of some or all of the muscle cells in the heart, can occur when the spike protein binds to the blood vessels in the heart, to the muscle cells themselves, or both. [20] Even when the myocardial blood vessels get more selectively targeted, inflammation of the heart muscle itself will still eventually ensue as the circulation of the heart gets progressively impaired by blood clotting and/or by an increased resistance to blood flow resulting from inflammation-induced vasoconstriction. Pre-pandemic myocarditis (cases not related to a spike protein presence) generally did not involve any predisposition to blood clotting in addition to the inflammation of the affected heart muscle cells.

Myocarditis presents no diagnostic challenge when it presents in its classical manner. Chest pain and rapid heart rate are often the earliest symptoms. If the myocardial inflammation is evolving rapidly, symptoms of congestive heart failure, including shortness of breath and swelling of the lower legs, can occur as well. Not uncommonly, an upper respiratory tract viral infection will be present or there will be a history of such an infection having recently resolved. Chest X-ray, electrocardiogram (ECG), and echocardiogram can all be used to help establish the diagnosis. An elevated troponin level on blood testing is extremely sensitive in picking up any ongoing heart muscle cell damage, and some elevation of this test will always be seen if any significant inflammation is present in those muscle cells.

Any continued elevation of troponin in the blood, however minimal, must be regarded with significant concern, even if there appears to be a complete clinical resolution of the myocarditis. Everyone should have this test done, even if they are feeling perfectly well, to both establish a baseline within the normal range or to detect any unsuspected low-grade myocardial inflammation.

The very high sensitivity of the troponin test has revealed that there are countless numbers of people post-COVID infection and/or post-vaccination that are continuing to have sustained subclinical degrees of myocardial inflammation. No matter how minimal the elevation of the test, any increase means that a gradual and continued loss of heart muscle function will occur over time. It also means that the heart is highly susceptible to an acute and potentially severe worsening of heart function when an additional exposure to more spike protein occurs, as is seen with the booster shots being vigorously promoted now. A heart with a minimal elevation of troponin is literally the perfect setting for a catastrophic clinical response when an additional spike protein-laden injection is given, much like what gasoline would do to smoldering coals. Not surprisingly, it has been shown that COVID patients with higher troponin levels were more likely to die than those with lower levels. [21]

Many abnormal troponin tests eventually resolve completely and many do not. The quality of nutrition, the strength of the immune system, and the quality of the nutrient/vitamin/mineral supplementation being taken are all critical factors in determining whether a minimal, subclinical degree of inflammation in the heart is capable of completely resolving with a return of the troponin level into the reference, or normal, range. With much of the world eating poorly and not supplementing at all, there is an ongoing presence of the spike protein in a very large number of people around the world. Clinical myocarditis is simply an advanced state of inflammation in the heart, with much higher levels of troponin being released into the blood. Cardiac injury was detected in 20% to 40% of patients hospitalized with COVID. [22,23] Any troponin elevation in hospitalized COVID patients was associated with an increased mortality. [24]

Troponin testing is currently the most important and widely accepted way to determine whether a suspected heart attack has occurred, with the troponin being released into the circulation as the heart muscle cells die. [25] Some degree of myocardial injury is felt to be present when any troponin level is detected beyond the 99th percentile upper reference limit, whether in the context of a suspected heart attack or the possible presence of any inflammation in the heart. [26,27] Even an increase in baseline troponin levels that remains below the established upper limits of normal has been shown to be significantly associated with increased mortality after noncardiac surgery. [28] Baseline troponin testing is a good idea for everyone, since normal ranges can vary from lab to lab, and because it appears myocardial injury can still be present when the troponin level rises significantly from a baseline point but remains short of the upper reference limit. [29]

Will there be an autopsy? Will we find out the cause of death?

It's a coincidence ...

For those of you that have not received the “vaccine”. Have you given it any thought that the blood supply is no longer clear of the spike protein?
