I always thought our politicians who were grandstanding by having their injections filmed likely received the placebo, not the real clot shot. But the visual was pure propaganda.

I appreciate when you use the name Sr. Bergoglio when quoting his nonsense. Although he is our Pope, when he makes statements like the ones on climate he is acting, not as Holy Father, the successor of St. Peter, but as Sr. Bergoglio, pushing his own agenda.

Steve Kirsch and Igor Chudov have been discussing the NZ revelations. Igor was a bit skeptical at first. The fact that the whistleblower was almost immediately arrested indicates that the authorities are rattled. However, I want to see a bit more digging where the data is concerned before we do a victory lap.

Stuff that I can’t explain with my normal political view, but the concept of trans humanist sounds appropriate, or perhaps it’s just Evil people:

- Podestra’s brother statue of a Jeffery Dalmer victim and his pubescent artwork.

- Satanist and Hilary’s acquaintance being appointed ambassador to Ukraine schools.

- Democratic Senator squashing the release of Epstein flight info.

- Epstein death.

- Epstein tapes going missing.

- Death of Seth Rich and his laptop.

- lack of caring by majority of gop congress about Jan 6 political prisoners

- Obama’s financial sanctions that resulted in retirement of previous Pope.

- Tom Luongo’s recent podcast where his guest brought up Obama’s chef, Satanic ambassador, and Epstein saying he is going deeper into the rabbit hole, and Tom commented nothing he can say against it.

- Why Ukraine is so important to the DC elites.

- why the extreme censorship and even methods beyond that to slander, doxing, propaganda, dick puppet accounts, etc to counter views the elites don’t agree with, even if true. Covid, election fraud, Jan 6, BLM, Antifa, etc.

- why the pushing of no borders. I was thinking changing the voter pool to get the correct candidates elected. But the actions by the UK conservatives for more immigration puzzled me.

- why at least one pizza gate debunker had a child porn issue.

I understand a judge has ordered it.

I’m skeptical it will happen till it actually happens. I hope my skepticism is unwarranted.

The theory is it will show he was the dnc leaker, and it was not a Russian Hack.

His death is also pretty sketchy. Bruises on hands and faces, nothing stolen, kept incommunicado before the surgery, looked very healthy and talking prior to the surgery.

I didn't listen to that TL podcast--can you explain that. I noticed lately that there are certain topics he steers away from, and he also went on a bit of what I would call a relativist anti-religious rant. Which to me fits in perfectly with his Libertarianism. When a society is no longer grounded in a solid view of human nature, evil rises to the surface.

In the Dave Collum podcast last couple of minutes, Dave starts riffing about Obama’s cooks death, all the lies about it, Epstein, the Ukraine satanist ambassador, the deliberate sexualization in schools, pizzagate, and how it was all connected. Some of it I found a bit over the top, such as missing kids and cannibalism. And it bothered Dave how the more he dug, the further he went down the rabbit hole. But Tom commented he did not have any counter points with what Dave brought up. Tom’s comment had a huge impact on me, making me consider, may be the world is not as sane as I thought it was.

At about 27:00 of the Barry Young Rumble video he shows that after Covid deaths plummeted the excess mortality soared. He does that in an historical context going back like 10 years to show how unprecedented that is. But that was the big injection push.

You have to wonder how and why those who have suffered or died following injection there would be serious outcry for accountability, and crickets essentially, except for those howling at the moon with facts, data, and solid stats. It just gets more ridiculous. Why? People are truly afraid, fear of retribution that could come at anytime, from anywhere and for reasons no one could fathom just a couple of years ago. The elites have shown they intend to make their visions come true and that is a nightmare for humanity. Who can stop this and how?

I wonder if those in favor of climate change... those who lay on the asphalt in front of vehicles on busy streets realize they're being used by the Global elites? I suspect not. I also suspect I couldn't have a conversation about any of this with my wife as she would not be able to comprehend any of this as she is a strong supporter of abortion et al.

Many of us cannot think or comprehend any of this in normal ways as we lack the ability to see "the long game" playing out in years and decades to come.

Such an influence as Pope Bergoglio has on all of this and chooses the Global elites. Shame on him.

Expand full comment

I think many of the supporters of these issues ("climate change", LGBTWTF, open borders) are just useful idiots who genuinely believe they are moving civilisation forward towards some sunny uplands. For most of these people, civilisational evolution is linear. They believe that, despite setbacks, if only they support all the right causes, we will one day create a utopia where all the neaderthals like us are banished to the outer darkness. They don't at all realise that civilisational development is cyclical and that they are just egging on the same old boring insanities that pervade every society during its final stages. I'm currently re-reading Gibbons' magisterial Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. It's all their in the first 50 pages for anyone who has eyes to see.

I’m a lot more mistrustful, and I’m trying not to be paranoid, but soon as I think I am too mistrustful, I find out I’m not enough.

This post by El Gato mirrors my feelings:

https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/only-elect-the-compromised

I used to joke about the 50 ruble army or the Chinese 50 cent army of posters. The Western censorship industry uses AI to automate this with sock puppet accounts with some real people, limited hangouts, censorship when they can, propaganda, to push their narrative, which may not be the truth.

Expand full comment

There were definitely some IC lurkers here a year or so ago, but they were easy to spot. No doubt that was a feint and they have returned in better disguises.

I think the main point is that the Western censorship industry has centuries of experience. It's instinctive, compulsive, and refined at the same time.

Good news is that the mask is off now, their tactics are easier to recognize, and the masses around the world are growing insensitive to their disturbances.

Ray: Can’t say similar thoughts haven’t crossed my mind from time to time, not to mention wondering if we were/are being monitored. I’ve also speculated that I might get a knock on the door regarding my comments and website visitation habits.

Sad that it’s come to this. Wish I could say that I expect things to get better, but I don’t. Just keep wondering which hill it will be.

Off topic but I ran into Susan Rice with her husband today walking into a restaurant in upper NW DC at lunch

I've seen her before but was shocked by the look on her face.

It was a grim, angry and empty eyed look you'd see from someone that just stumbled out of a bad car accident.

Is bewildered the word?

It made me uncomfortable.

Maybe she'd just finished reading Robert Kagan's WAPO editorial?

Hello Mark. I have read with interest your older posts on Aquinas and the Medieval. Also noted your reference to your Sons graduating from U of Dallas. Back in the day I was the accreditor for UD’s general education program (American Academy for Liberal Education). Are you familiar with the writings of Catholics Romano Guardini or Marshall McLuhan regarding technology and its impact on the psyche? Or perhaps Chapter 3 of Laudato Si?

You might find interesting/helpful my/our current projects: Center for the Study of Digital Life, Trivium University and Exogenous Inc (a business for Executive Education in light of the Paradigm Shift to DIGITAL and from ELECTRIC) - the last of which we also have our own Substack, and I/we will be launching our Podcast - The DIGITAL Bomb in mid January.

I am President and Mark Stahlman is CEO while Tom Lipscomb is our Chairman (names so you can look us up as it were). Given your interests in the Medieval/Thomas, perhaps we can start a conversation by email or as you see fit.

Look forward to talking when you have time.

Best,

Jeff Martineau - jeffm.csdl@proton.me

Here from #123 is something I can certainly agree with: when the culture itself is corrupt and objective truth and universally valid principles are no longer upheld, then laws can only be seen as arbitrary impositions or obstacles to be avoided.

Mostly off subject, I read this and thought that it would be of interest to Mark and the community here.

Under the influence of Catholic priests, an atheist wrote a play version of the Nativity story. While they were all Prisoners of War of the Nazis in 1940. The play had 60 parts and was performed for the captors and 15,000 captives alike. https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/sartre-nativity-play

Regarding the "Top 10 Batches" table above, I personally would want more information regarding the population cohorts of each of the batches before drawing the conclusion that the high mortality percentages necessarily means that the specific vaccine batch was the cause of the high mortality rate.

Here is my problem with the above table. The top 7 high mortality batches were also the lowest batch numbers, though batch #5 is curiously absent from this table. I presume that means why were used for the earliest vaccinations. It is possible that these earliest batches were used to vaccinate cohorts that included a disproportionately high percentage of people who were inherently the most at-risk to die from a serious respiratory infection such as Covid-19 - i.e., the elderly people with a one or more serious "co-morbidities". If that were the case then the vaccine batch itself may have had nothing to do with the high mortality rate for that batch.

I'm not trying to make excuses for the vaccine mfrs, and I am not trying to claim that the vaccines are not inherently harmful to many people. I did watch the entire presentation, and I have long believed that the mRNA vaccines are potentially harmful, deadly to some, and should not have been approved for mass vaccinations. While I had the first two Pfizer shots I believe that was a mistake, and I don't plan to ever get an mRNA "vaccination" again. But I have had enough scientific education to make me cautious about drawing cause-and-effect conclusions about specific batches from the very limited data represented by that table.

Expand full comment

Actually the elderly and people with co-morbidities are also people that would be more likely to die from other causes, not just respiratory infections. So again I would want to see details about the demographics of the cohorts in each batch before drawing conclusions about the correlation between batch numbers and mortality.

As an unvaxxed kiwi who was actively involved in opposing the mandates etc, I actually agree with Al's cautions here.

I believe it's highly likely the jabs will be conclusively proved ineffective and damaging, but.. there are active chaos agents amongst the anti vax cohort (Steve Kirsch et al), and there's a real risk of a rug pull.

I very much hope not, but I echo the need for caution.

Expand full comment

I have a lot of respect for Igor Chudov and other bloggers on this topic. However, I've found that with Steve Kirsch, he's come dangerously close at times to presenting anecdotal evidence as fact. Not sure he's an active chaos agent, but the last thing we want is to give justification to the pro-vaxxers who call us conspiracy theorists.

As Sage-Hana says, "Oops, mistakes were made." He also calls out Kirsch, Malone, and lots of others, including "there were a lot of fake pandemics, but not Covid" Kennedy.

I should add, I think your choice of Brownstone Institute as a commentary to cite is excellent. They've been critical and consistent across the whole Covid years.

From an NZ perspective, the "gold standard" here is Voices for Freedom. They have a couple of blog posts re the release, the latest here: https://www.voicesforfreedom.co.nz/blog/missing-data-explained/

Thanks. The BI article indicates that Young took into account the officially reported Covid deaths, and that those deaths didn't come close to explaining the total excess mortality. Among other observations he also notes that the rate exceeded the normal also for elderly in care homes. Since he had the numbers for the Covid deaths and is a professional statistician I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. The fact that the accuracy hasn't been disputed seems significant, as also the granting of exemptions to insiders.

Which article? Regarding the Top 10 Batches table, I actually watched a video interview of Barry Young that was on YouTube yesterday, but has now been taken done by YouTube for violating their "Community Guidelines". I didn't know until I went back a few minutes ago to look at it again that not only did YouTube take down the video, but Barry Young has been arrested for supposedly stealing the Covid data and "using it to spread disinformation." He has also been denied bail.

I was prepared to chastise the Pope here, but the Holy Spirit strongly implored me, "not so fast."

I read his actual statement, found here. https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/speeches/2023/december/documents/20231202-dubai-cop28.html

I think that a key risk here is to swap a righteous, and God-ordained, desire to be a good steward of creation with a Satanic, "placing themselves above the God of the heavens," move where we know better than He does what the earth, and all of the people on it, need.

I don't think that Pope Francis crosses that line. I read a humble and hopeful speech that focuses on protecting all people, especially the energy-poor.

"In the end, the purpose of power is to serve. It is useless to cling to an authority that will one day be remembered for its inability to take action when it was urgent and necessary to do so [the participants in COP28]. History will be grateful to you."

I pray every day for the conversion and sanctity of the Church’s hierarchy. By all accounts Mueller had been lifelong moderate (naive?) modernist, even into his tenure at the CDF. Sometime after being sacked he seems to have shed his modernism and embraced the Catholic faith. May God bless him!
