I’ve been silent for quite a while now and am not sure why. Part of it is the too much stuff syndrome: the more I look into our current situation the more distressed and even paralytic I wax. The best example here being that the two people I best know personally and who are dedicated researchers, guys whose critical thinking abilities I rely on as much as my own… these two guys have polar opposite views on the medical aspects of COVID, i.e., what the COVID bug is and hence how it’s being used against us.
Joachim, whom you might remember via his podcast with Paul Cottrell back in February (Youtube deleted the video), but also via much of the information in my last post, which postulated that the there may be a ‘Trojan horse’ buried in the COVID pathogen; the ‘long term’ effects of the ‘pandemic’ may be our real worry.
These photos are of critters saved by the Second Chances Wildlife Center.
This video sums up the possible problem. You might recall that after looking into the video I came to the conclusion that it’s coming from the PTB and therefore is suspect (to say the least). On the other hand (as I also postulated), the video may be essentially accurate and is a sort of beta test to analyze the public reaction. If this is the case, they are merely putting off the spilling of the information that COVID’s real dangers are still to come. In this way they can discredit anyone who disagrees with virtually anything they have claimed about COVID.
The bottom line of this view is that COVID is much, much more deadly than any of us have been thinking, although the real medical catastrophe is still to come. (COVID is an engineered viral bioweapon.)
Here is a link that deals with ‘Long COVID’ — I cannot vouch for its authenticity.
On the other hand, my friend Logan, whom you have heard from on this forum, has come around to believe that ‘germ theory’ is another fraud and that viruses are not what we’ve been told. They are, in fact, products of cellular life (in humans and all animals), whose function is to pass important information from cell to cell and from organism to organism. Viruses are good. I asked Logan for his single best link and he sent me this video, which I also recommend.
These views cannot both be true. I also suspect that the incorrect view is part of the black op we are now living under. After studying both paradigms, I cannot say which is correct, if either are so. At some point we will know, but by then it may be too late to take individual action. That two of the smartest people I know could come to opposite conclusions based on open source information is a great example of how efficient the PTB propaganda machine really is.
I would ask readers of this forum to look into both paradigms with an open mind. I know this request will be ignored, since no one changes his/her mind about anything. This latter truth, I realize, infers the question of why I bother with this blog at all, but let’s ignore that for now. Please see if you can decide which of these paradigms is correct then persuade me of it. Do I even have to tell you to stick with facts? If something is ‘obvious’ to you, I need to know why.
And I as told both Logan and Joachim: Yes, they lie about everything, but that doesn’t mean the earth is flat. Get my drift?
Addendum: I vaguely recall ‘another pandemic’, this one from my youth, in 1968 – 69. Take a look at the Wikipedia version. The ‘Hong Kong flu’ of those years resulted in no draconian measures (such as those we are enduring now) and the ’emergency’ resolved itself. Regarding ‘social distancing,’ this was the year of Woodstock… (Given the implications, this is still another example of Why are you only hearing this from me?)
One thing I do know is that Logan works for a great nonprofit organization, one that is especially after my own heart. He has just finished up many months of work for the group, and will be joining me on the road in a few days. Meanwhile, please consider donating to the Second Chances Wildlife Center. The links are below. Here’s Logan’s request:
As you can imagine, 2020 has been an incredibly tough year for our nonprofit community. i have spent the past 30+ years working and volunteering in the nonprofit world, and all are struggling to keep providing services. Most of you know I have been volunteering my time with Second Chances Wildlife Center (SCWC) since 2016. We have had to cancel almost all of our public and school-based education programs this year, as well as our special fundraising events. On September 17th our community will hold its annual GIVE FOR GOOD day…a 24 hour period to celebrate and donate to our local nonprofits. It is always an important day, but never more critical than this year. Many of you were kind enough to support SCWC in 2019. I know times are very challenging for all of us, but please consider helping this year. There is no other organization in our region that does what we do.
This year we are trying to more than double our very successful 2019 effort. Our goal is to raise $30,000 and we have some exciting news to share. One of our very generous supporters has offered a $15,000 CHALLENGE GRANT as an incentive to reach our ambitious goal. So if we can raise $30,000 we’ll earn an additional $15,000! To put that in perspective $45,000 would fund 5 months of our lean and mean operating budget.
So please mark your calendars for September 17th. Donations that day can help us earn additional funds via incentives and contests throughout the 24 hour period. I’ll be in touch again in the days leading up to GIVE FOR GOOD. In the meantime I am inserting links below to our website, our Facebook page and one of my favorite videos from our YouTube channel. If you need a little pick me up, visit our YT channel and check out some of our 100+ short videos. They are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Thanks in advance for your support!
My best to you and yours,
Logan
The more you research, the crazier you sound to ignorant people…
Unfortunately, I forgot about the September 17 deadline, which means that if you are reading this on September 18… you can still help these precious little critters via a donation. So please dig into your pockets and send them a few bucks. I just did so. Use this link if you are reading this on September 18 or later.
Did you know one adult female Opossum may eat as many 4,000 ticks is a single week? Most of you know how I feel about ticks…so I am a huge fan of Opossums! This short video shows what your donation to Second Chances Wildlife Center helps us accomplish. We also teach future generations why all wildlife matters. Please help us with any donation by midnight tonight. Last year we earned bonus money due to the large number of donors who helped during the 24 hours of Give For Good. We also have the chance to earn a $15,000 challenge grant from a very generous donor. Just use the link below the video link. Thanks in advance for your help!

I don’t quite see it as either or. As far I am concerned I am still in the camp that viruses exist and may depending on the type and circumstance cause disease. However there are probably far more aspects to our immunity not fully understood and there are probably many animals and people that can meet many challenges (bacterial and viral) and only get disease when the body is out of whack or stressed in some way. And so that would tend to support the other hypothesis in those situations. Consider for a moment a rat that lives in a sewer or a person in a dirty slum. The germ theory says it is a deadly place. Yet rats survive sewers and people survive slums. Sure if you didn’t grow up in one, you might die quickly of infection
My point here is that the immune system is more powerful than we realize. We don’t know it all
I agree with someone above who commented that it will be in the vaccines that the deadly stuff will arrive. For all we know, the testing is a means of collecting DNA, so the deadly vaccine can be tailored to each individual. Even without your DNA enough is known about each person to figure out what classification to give them and so what is to be done to them. The vaccine route is so much more controllable. Through the virus route, it relies on natural infection and less controllable. The virus is a direct injection and could have a ton of all kinds of things in it. Maybe the bio-engineering simply made it far more infectious. The bio-weapon question though is puzzling. Why is it so mild (apparently)
On do people change their mind. Some do and I reckon most of the readers who come to this blog are more likely to than the general population. I have certainly changed my mind over things you wrote. But I was already changing my mind on things before I ever found this site. So is it worth your while writing here? Yes, very much so. It just that it is hard to measure the impact. Besides it keeps the resistance spirit alive not just in yourself but in the rest of us too. And that’s important.
Lastly this video is a good analysis of Covid deaths etc in different countries and explains a lot about the curves and numbers. Many here know the stuff already but it is still useful and because it just deals with facts and figures and stays away from the why. It is a good video to pass onto people who won’t listen to anything they consider “conspiracy” because we are in a war against public opinion and we have to try and turn even those who are still true believers of the mainstream.

Thanks for the YouTube link. The same guy put out another video on September 16 that’s also well worth watching & sharing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKKIr425b40
Having done some research as well, I am with William.
And I am quite sure the “Covid longterm effects” will come from the vaccine. I can see the fearmongering already whipped up again, at least here in Europe.
After reading your post I saw this on twatter. Thought of you,

the whole vid in bitchute
The Italian Doctor Roberto Petrella about COVID19 and the control of populations with vaccines and their strategy for population reduction.
Is this why the FDA agreed to rush vaccines through the approval process and why some states (e.g. Virginia)…

Why doesn’t anyone mention Plum Island anymore? – have they shut shop?…no they bloody haven’t. I know they have shifted off the island though.
Both theories are right aren’t they, the disease bacteria comes from both within the body,
and from the outside.
An example is people who for instance get coldsores, from the herpes bugs already in their bodies flaring up (God knows why!)….I have never had even one of those in my life.
I don’t think either side has it right about viruses. All we know for sure is that the MS science version is not true. Not sure what Plum Island has to do with it, directly. Certainly indirectly…
I too became depressed when it slowly became apparent that people that I respected for their intelligence, open-mindedness and ability to research believed the exact opposite to what I believed. I could not deny that these bright lights had good reasons and good research, they had, in fact an entire structure that validated their beliefs. Once I realized that everything I believe was as suspect as everyone else’s reality tunnel I turned it into a sport to see just how contradictory EVERY single fact, in every single field has become. The information field is so muddied now that it may as well not exist at all. The Information Age was short and glorious but now we are thrown back on our own jungle instincts, our twitchy spider senses to make sense of our immediate surroundings and make decisions based on those intangible senses. This is nothing new. It was the way of the world not so long ago. I have come to believe that there is nobody in the know, nobody in control… not one single human on this planet knows what is going on right now much less able to pull more than a few strings. No blame, no praise. You speak your truth and help where you can. You cause lots of people, including me, to think new thoughts and contemplate new ideas. What more can anyone ask of another? After depression comes dispassion .. things don’t hurt so much.
Kristin I am exactly where you are right now. Your comments made me think of the Years poem.
The Second Coming
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
The craziness is in all these algorithms: anything searched in google becomes biased to what you already lean toward. The “echo chamber” is real; it keeps people viewing their screens longer- no matter what you believe. 2 people with the same search query will receive completely different result based on their previous history- it’s insane!
yep the Tunnel
I linked the following article by way of Greg Caton’s website. (gregcaton.com)
To add a bit to the confusion, Caton – a very intelligent chap – claims to have come down with a nasty case of COVID-19 earlier in the year, while at the same time still declaring the virus a hoax. (Apparently, the issues are quite finely-grained.)

I feel that we are looking at the putative pandemic from the wrong end of the stick: the fatalities resulting from the Ongoing Economic Lockdown will DWARF the predicted COVID casualties BY ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE. The economy is being CRUSHED.
WE…ARE THE ECONOMY.
That last unsettling/creepy paragraph, you are so right Larry!
UNLESS more people everywhere WAKE UP and pull us out of this *nose dive for nothing*!!!
Logan asked me to change the link in the post, which I did. If you watched the interview with Dr. Bush, that was not the right one. Here is the right one. It’s very good:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGIzWjjkpNk&feature=youtu.be
“I would ask readers of this forum to look into both paradigms with an open mind.”
I will do this. In general I have a ~fairly open mind all the time.
“I know this request will be ignored, since no one changes his/her mind about anything.”
Largely ignored perhaps but I do change my mind when I see something that is convincing. A long time ago I decided to hold my beliefs and ideas in an open palm, rather than a clenched fist and consider all new ideas, and if they fit better with what I am seeing them I embrace the new idea. This is why I’m no longer a Christian after 20 years of believing that and now see it as the mind control cult that it is.
“This latter truth, I realize, infers the question of why I bother with this blog at all”
I’m sure that there are more than one reasons why you do it. Please continue, I really appreciate your work and no one else seems to be doing it.
“These views cannot both be true. I also suspect that the incorrect view is part of the black op we are now living under. After studying both paradigms, I cannot say which is correct, if either are so. At some point we will know, but by then it may be too late to take individual action. That two of the smartest people I know could come to opposite conclusions based on open source information is a great example of how efficient the PTB propaganda machine really is.”
This. Super weird and scary AF. Both are credible. In six months I’ve transitioned from believing in full on contagion/pandemic to thinking now that Covid-19 is a real thing with some potentially nasty long term effects but we’re being lied to about how many cases (PCR manipulation and false positives).
It’s clear enough that the Plandemic is being used to accomplish many objectives. Separate us, cause discord and distrust, inject us with life changing harmful chemicals, gain data on us, many bad things.
The propaganda machine is so effective I’ve got no clear line on what the truth is right now.
Yep. We gotta keep at it.
They could both be wrong, too.
Yep, I should have mentioned that, altho in that case one will be more wrong than the other.
Actually, I DID mention that, but no problem. Notwithstanding my title, Maybe they both could be right as well.
As to the inference above (paragraph 8, or antepenultimate before the addendum) :
“One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you
only if they already agree with you. You do not change people’s minds.”
— Frank Zappa
“I know this request will be ignored, since no one changes his/her mind about anything.”
As a general rule that is correct most of the time, I agree with you, but then I am forced to remember my own case. I changed my mind about September 11th way back when (around 2009, after having lived with the fake version for eight years). I thought an inside job-type scenario was “Impossible,” until I began to research it. Then I was forced by the facts to change my mind, completely and irrevocably. So I know that it is possible. Just keep in mind that it is possible not just for one person, but for everyone. That is what FREE WILL is. That is how God created us. Unfortunately, possible and likely are two different things. Interestingly, Metanoia is a Christian theological term usually defined as “repentance,” but a more literal translation from the Greek would be “to change one’s mind.” Repentance from the Matrix is rare, but it happens. Christ said “Many are called but few are chosen.”
Well, that’s my semi-optimistic opening statement.
In any event, I still see no reason to believe that “COVID-19” is anything other than a complete fabrication, for so many reasons that it is tiresome to think of listing them here. One, for example: we know the PCR tests to be worthless, so therefore, if the virus were a bioweapon, or even just a real, but conventional “virus,” the PTB wouldn’t even have a viable means of tracing its spread. I can’t help but suspect that all that information you keep alluding to about the Wuhan lab et. all (the bioweapon “evidence”) is nothing but intentionally dropped breadcrumbs to lead researchers astray.
Worrying that “COVID is more deadly than we have seen thus far, and that the real catastrophe is still to come,” is only one or two degrees more useful than worrying that, say, Y2K was more deadly that we thought, and that it’s coming back to wreak havoc in 2020! If there is a coming catastrophe (and there very well could be), it will be because the controllers have upped the stakes of the game, not because “the virus has mutated.” That’s just their “in-game” language. Don’t use their pandemic LARP terminology. Don’t wear the costume (mask). Don’t let your guard down, because when you do, you usually find yourself playing their game, by their rules, even despite yourself.
allan,
an important post. I have worked on this since years, looking into the fraud research of pasteur over 100 years ago which laid the basis for the germ theory of disease. At this point I tend to believe virologists like Dr Stefan Lanka who says “sick making” viruses do not exist in nature. Something else is causing system stresses to our bodies whether it is distortions in pulsed EMF exposures from the flood of wifi smart phone 4g+ devces that surround us all, as scientists such as Martin Pall suggest, or other factors such as toxic industrialized food supply or othehr toxins in our drinking water, agriculture etc. I focus on fact that the people in the heart of this coronavirus pandemic– WHO, Gates, CDC, NIAID all have documented records of abuse of the truth to foster unneeded vaccines or treatments like Tamiflu from Gilead back a decade or so ago for the overhyped swine flu scare.
No lunar landing, no nukes, no outer-space travel, no CERN, no viruses, but enthusiastic worker bees from which much taxation, ponziconomics, and other theft is extracted to build vast underground cities, to perpetuate mankind’s technological advancement across the coming ‘great reset’.
TPTB are not going to jeopardise themselves and their control systems by unleashing a bioweapon. They have no need to do so, especially when deception works so well. There is also zero need to perform any kind of cull/depopulation, given the ‘great reset’ causes >99% mortality in any case.
For comparison: https://themostbeautifulworld.com/blog/puzzle-together
Alan and Guests We too have pondered why get rid of such a cash crop of tax paying citizens of earth?
*loosh* harvesting seems pretty plausible commodity with nearly 8 billion souls on this planet interconnected by various forms of electronic media/communication devices and platforms, we are becoming electrified, slow cooked by frequencies and resonance, this soup, this fear based LOOSH is tasty for intradimensional beings to fatten up upon. They break a few eggs to make an omelette as the animal farm huddles in the corner together terrified at the unfolding reality that they are good eating, a commodity for more cunning creatures they cannot comprehend. In the horror of it all, they, the animals of the farm paralyzed with panic cannot think straight, even offering up some its own for the feast kill as long as the group gets one more moment of existence on earth together……. That is some dire thinking and morbid self reflection on my part. The Demonic is hungry, were being set up for the kill, the harvest, the sacrifice. (I heard a quote by some military or bigwig political philosophical thinker said (paraphrased) ‘when we can convince mankind that nothing is true, then we have won.’ )
Understanding project MKULTRA BLUBIRD and other technologies formulated in the last few centuries( the patents on tv screens as psychotronic devices give credence ) with Tesla(he referred to himself as Lucifer, Twain called Tesla the devil) based technologies (weaponry) deployed globally and this stew of EMF we are all swimming in leads me to personally believe that we (humanity) have been heaped into a technological witches cauldron, and that, only the power of Love is going to see us out of the soul killing fields that have been set up for us by the fools, agents, the sellouts of mankind and their dark entity masters playing puppeteer who are ravenous for that LOOSH.- COV19 is just part of that ongoing plan of unravelling of this world into Chaos.(The terror operation can only succeed if the world is densely populated and interconnected through a web of deceit) IMHO only Love can see us through.
Decolinization might be a wise choice at this point.
I have opted out of TV in my dwelling, no computer either and might ditch the smartphone soon for a old fashioned land line(like in the movie the matrix) only problem is I am swimming in that EMF cauldron in the city I live in, inundated by frequencies and resonance outside of the 7.8 Hz planetary Schumann Resonance. I’m stuck like everybody else in the cage I helped to unwittingly, lazily, knowingly, by peer pressure and modern convenience create, and fly into, and now dwell in, along with a majority of the earth’s populace.
So do we pull a Thomas Anderson and embrace the matrix monkey wrenching from within the belly of the beast?
Or decolonize and refuse to let them harvest my loosh?
Time to act is soon I’m reckoning because water time/surfing it seems is just a temporary reprieve and self serving distraction.
The water is getting warm in the cauldron…
No matter how bad this gets, in the end, Love wins the Spiritual war that we have all been born into.
This day I choose Love.
Aloha Everyone.
OH, yes. So well said!
Thanks, William. I tend to agree with you and Logan — I’ll define my problem in a more detailed post but I mainly wonder about contagion. And what in fact causes the symptoms we call disease.
I recall ‘measles parties’ when I was a kid. You’d hang with a kid who had it to get it yourself, in order to have immunity later in life. Or the old one about the Indians getting smallpox from ‘infected’ blankets. So far no one on your side of the issue has explained this sort of contagion, assuming there are no ‘germs.’ (Also, why wash and ‘disinfect’ a cut if there are no external causes of illness?)
What were the criminals at Detrick and Wuhan engineering if not viruses?
But more to come. This is a vital topic right now, obviously.
Live with Dave Oneegs – Virus Contagions, Rights and Australia Tom Barnett on youtube.
From start of vid you get a little of his background, but at 4:00 he goes into how he found out about viruses not being contagious. Highly recommend his YouTube channel and anywhere else you can find him. First heard him on Crrow777radio.com, A podcast I also highly recommend and think you and your readers would be interested. The podcast covers many topics of interests to people who want to know TRUth.
Been following your blog for some years now, and thank you for your efforts at truth seeking.
Sincerely Rachel
where’s the link??
Yes, measles, chicken pox pretty widely circulated and transmitted. Much like the herpes, hiv, viruses etc
External pathogens exist and their negative impacts easily demonstrated in basically equipped labs.
Your small pox blankets, cut hands serve as good examples. Also like the impact early explorers had on the natives of the Caribbean islands. These things have been around a long time and our immune systems have mostly dealt with them adequately. The immuno response is an interesting consideration, I wonder how much better or worse they may be in the global population now vs a few hundred years ago. Fair to say the health of the average American at least is suffering from a lot of self inflicted insults…not to say there aren’t outside sources that heavily influence these personal decisions as well.
As far as the idea that there are no germs, I don’t believe that as we have grown, infected, and killed various microorganisms in the labs I have worked in. Seeing is believing, and Repeating is affirming.
Exactly. We were looking at the bacteria (microscope image) responsible for about the most common disease on earth the other day – Dental Caries.
The D.C bacteria produce an acid that attacks tooth enamel quite efficiently, and the other weird thing is, those same bacteria can swarm around your heart if you don’t watch out.
Most of the other disease bacteria produce TOXINS that make a person crook as a dog, through poisoning & INFLAMMATION.
Food poisoning is bad bacteria multiplying out of control in your stomach, then the lower colons if it gets bad enough.
I mean, I am no disease expert, but I have known this for about 50 years.
It’s not the virus (minute dead matter) that drives the disease, but the BACTERIA – Right?…
Brett- bacteria definitely big players and while a ton understood, we are still learning about how they coexist, the balances/imbalances etc.
Funny you mention the dental caries, some of the more recent work I have done is on how to reduce those specific organisms, s. mutans, c. albicans etc. omnipresent and if out of control lead to so many other negatives in the body especially once the bloodstream is exposed and left vulnerable to these and other organisms. It’s pretty incredible how well we and other animals can handle so many different pathogens.
Thanks Rab, and lets not forget common HOUSEHOLD MOLD SPORES…that can cause a ton of mischief & “covid like” health issues.
All on top of the 5G and excessive EMF’s.
And as if by magic a golden egg has landed right in their lap, test and trace must be a boon for the data miners like Gates, governments can finally shred the illusions of freedom and come out looking like the good guys.
If I rely on my senses instead of the medium then it does not exist, that does not mean that they don’t have the ability to fake it to make with some kind of poison.
Think about it, it is so dangerous and intelligent that it has gone after what the government has been saying is disposable and a burden to them for years because they have compromised immune systems, but yet it spares the young ones because it has a moral conscious and could spell it’s own demise if it took out all the kids with undeveloped immune systems, smart as a fox without all the extra organic matter.
I smell a rat, a big stinking rat.
I will rely on my own senses and only panik when i see peeps dropping in the street, or politicians choking on their own narrative.
“That two of the smartest people I know could come to opposite conclusions based on open source information is a great example of how efficient the PTB propaganda machine really is.”
Well said.
I too am wrestling with this conundrum. Questioning germ theory though I have so many personal experiences which sure fit nicely into that idea…for instance, when I had chickenpox right after my sister who got it right after one of her classmates who got it right after…
The “long covid” label is an interesting one. It is eerily similar to “long con.”
The vaccine aspect of this is important. There is an awful lot of connection between this covid thing and many of the popular flu vaccines which were administered last year. The higher the flu vaccine uptake for a country/region, the more covid deaths have occurred. The other interesting connection is Vitamin D. Why are so many people so deficient now? Could MM actually be right about something with his solar minimum stuff?
At this point, I’m on the fence but will continue to research and run from anyone offering me a vaccine.
Incessant Geoengineering/solar dimming would be part of the culprit in that vitamin D equation.
(Personally A lot of my aches and pains dissipate during summertime I figure the vitamin D U.V light combo is responsible)
Yet being near solar minimum the planet is still setting heat records. A much bigger question is what is going to happen as the planet approaches solar maximum at 2030 and ebbs 2033-35?
Water is getting warm… Aloha
There ain’t no heat records happening where I live , and it hasn’t gone above 33-34C (93F) where I live (for nearly 25 years here).
People tell me it’s getting hotter, and I have to tell them sorry, my 2 temp. gauges (which are accurate & I watch like a hawk) are saying otherwise.
If anything, it’s getting colder.
I take vitamin D tablets every other day, because it isn’t breaking records for sunshine here lately – or ever really.
