Thinking About: Covid, Labs, Ukraine
Plus, The Problem Facing The Dems--And All Of Us
I want to aggregate a number of thought provoking articles and other material in this post. For those who follow the news, I hope the connections among these topics will seem fairly natural.
Regular readers will know that, with regard to Covid related matters, I’ve relied heavily on Dr. Robert Malone. Malone has always been pretty up front about his past, including the fact that for many years—most of his career, in fact—he was deeply involved in the US Biodefense enterprise. As it happens, today Malone has offered his reflections on that involvement in the context of new revelations about US run Biodefense labs in Ukraine. Commenter Rascal Nick Of drew attention to Malone’s substack:
Would the Russian invasion of Ukraine be justified if it were for biodefense?
Here’s what I take to be the core passage, in which Malone connects his own awakening regarding science, ethics, and society brought on by Covid to his past involvement in “Biodefense”:
But I never really allowed myself to confront the possibility that we might not be the good guys, the white hats. Until I experienced what we have all been through over the last two years. A government (or really multiple governments) that clearly believes that it is justified in disregarding fundamental principles of bioethics and the common rule. And like many others, once I saw that, it was like having backed into a light switch and suddenly the entire room was lit up, and I could never un-see what was revealed. Are we always the good guys? Or is this just more interchangeable Spy vs Spy, where ethics and roles and fungible and “situational”. A world in which there are no good guys, no white hats. Just a matter of media spin, perspective, and realpolitik. The world as envisioned by Henry Kissinger and Klaus Schwab.
And by the way, “biodefense” is big business. Yet more weapons of war.
Most of us that are not deep into the mass formation process at this point can see the coordinated pivot from legacy media pushing the COVID fear-porn to the same outlets pushing the “Putin crazy bad man - Zelenskyy good man” theme. But almost as soon as the shooting war started, a more nuanced and complex counter-narrative cropped up.
That is the deep ties between children of key Democratic party leaders and Ukrainian petroleum industry interests.
And the USA-sponsored bioweapon research facilities located throughout Ukraine, including along the Russian border.
And the legitimate Russian concerns about NATO efforts to geopolitically encircle Russia.
And the issue of whether Zelenskyy is really just a western puppet, rather than being the populist leader that has been pitched to us.
And the surreptitious hand of World Economic Foundation meddling in all of this.
Things started looking a lot more complicated that just “Putin crazy bad man - Zelenskyy good man”.
By the way, Malone links to another rather disturbing substack he wrote that ties into labs, transhumanism, and war, which is also worth reading:
"Human Augmentation – The Dawn of a New Paradigm"
A strategic implications project
Next, two articles that offer reflections on our experiences under the Covid Regime, and the wider implications:
This passage suggests the issues the author wants us to be reflecting on—for the future:
There is a vast machine extant that desperately wants everyone to forget. Not even forgive, just forget. Don’t think about the old thing. Think about the new thing instead. Don’t learn lessons. Don’t change the system. Don’t uproot the bureaucracies or examine why the court system failed us so miserably until it was too late. Don’t seek more information. Don’t seek reforms. Don’t take away powers from the CDC and NIH, much less Homeland Security.
Meanwhile, we live amidst a crisis without precedent. It affects health, economics, law, culture, education, and science. Nothing has been left untouched. The end of travel augmented every preexisting international tension. The wild government spending and the monetary accommodation of the ballooning debt, in addition to supply chain breakages, are all directly responsible for record levels of inflation. It’s much easier to blame Putin than it is to look at the failed policies of the US and many other governments in the world.
There are so many remaining questions. My own estimate is that we know about 5% of what we need to know to make sense of this whole disaster.
Also at Brownstone Institute, John Tamny asks:
Why Did Politicians Choose Economic Contraction Over Virus Mitigation?
Tamny has a lot to say, but at the end …
At the same time, this column aims to make a basic point: the statistics about coronavirus deaths among the vaccinated and unvaccinated arguably obscure far more than they enlighten. About the statistics, presumably most readers are familiar with numbers saying that the unvaccinated are quite a bit more likely to be hospitalized from the virus and die from it than those vaccinated. Right away, readers should be skeptical.
They should because numbers can be misleading. As an example, the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page has opined that if vaccinated, those infected with the virus have 1 percent odds of being hospitalized. Which is quite an endorsement for getting the jab. Except that an article in the same Wall Street Journal reported on July 30, 2020 (from stats accessed at the CDC) that the hospitalization rate for those who’d contracted the virus was 0.1 percent.
Which is a reminder that long before the rollout of vaccines, most infected weren’t being hospitalized or dying. As the New York Times kept reporting inside articles that led with alarmist headlines, somewhere north of 40% of virus deaths were related to nursing homes, and well north of 40% of deaths were related to very old people.
... Is the vaccine saving the vaccinated from hospitalization and death, or were they already safe?
The answer to the above question seems to be that they were already safe. As for the unvaccinated, was the lack of a shot the problem or were they already making all sorts of parallel choices to going without the shot that were similarly unhealthy?
These questions rate answering. …, the bet here is that we’d find statistics much less conclusive about the good of the jab, and the bad of non-compliance.
The challenge now is to find out who among the unvaccinated are dying with COVID, and who among those vaccinated are living with COVID. The speculation here is that the populations look nothing alike.
Plug this into that: The latest stats from IL show that 67% of Covid deaths in the most recent period are “breakthrough” cases.
Now a straightforward article, and straight up disturbing—which goes back to forgetting:
Pfizer Knew Its mRNA “Vaccine” for Covid “Leaked Into Ovaries” but Covered It All Up
uncanceled news ^ | March 9, 2022 | Ethan HuffA court order forced Pfizer to release 55,000 pages of documents about its Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccine,” and already the bombshells are dropping.
Naomi Wolf of DailyClout.io spoke with Steve Bannon on his “War Room: Pandemic” program to reveal that members of the “posse,” meaning the worldwide movement of volunteers poring over the released documents, have learned that the Pfizer injection does not stay in the bicep muscle as claimed.
“Already what I saw that people have submitted looks like Pfizer knew that the injection material, which includes lipid nanoparticles, wouldn’t stay in the bicep,” Wolf explained.
“All these doctors said to me for month and months that it stays in the bicep. No, Pfizer knew, apparently, that it was going to the liver and to the ovaries.”
Re Ukraine, I’d like to put in a plug for Oliver Stone’s documentary “Ukraine On Fire.” CTH already did, and links to the Rumble of it, after explaining the situation:
Outside of the obvious fact that our rulers don’t want us to just forget—they don’t want us to ever find out in the first place—there’s a lot to be learned from this documentary.
And finally, the problem facing the Dems. Suppose they get rid of Zhou—tell him to go home some weekend to Deleware and … just don’t come back. Right. We all know the problem that results: Kama Sutra. OK, so what happens if they figure a way to pull off a package deal—cancel them both? This:
See what I mean? The world is on fire, not just Ukraine. Are our rulers ready for that phone call, in the middle of the day?
Can I just say this? Holy shit! I mean, this is just not a serious country. Maybe it’s time for unilateral disarmament.
The inmates are running the asylum, Zhou, Kama Sutra and Nancy don't have half a brain between the three of them. Nancy is obviously on drugs!
Someday this whole facade is going to come crashing down. I try and take everyday as a new day, focus on the issues that matter - work, family, hobbies, etc yet, I have this creeping sense that things are spinning out of control. One day I'm gonna wake up and everything I worked for will be gone because of lunatics like NP. That a person like her can stay Speaker as long as she has says a lot about where we are today. DC is a cancer on the country. One that is metastasizing faster and faster.
