It was the 800-pound gorilla not in the room at the debate. It was the elephant not in the room either at the debate or during the Tucker Carlson interview with Trump, although it has a lot to do with Trump. The Fox moderators did not utter the word COVID the entire night, nor did Tucker ask Trump about his doubling down on the vaccines and refusing to acknowledge any mistakes with the lockdowns, even as the biomedical fascists begin bringing back COVID fascism.

A debate where UFOs were discussed more than the worst tyranny and genocide in American history is no debate at all.

It’s the policy that led to the greatest loss of life and now permanent destruction of the economy. Nearly every policy vice we are dealing with today flows fully or partially from the decisions that created COVID and induced the tyrannical response to it. Yet because the leaders of both parties and their respective media mouthpieces – including the top GOP gun himself – were all in on it, nobody wants a reckoning. We have not had a reckoning on emergency powers, lockdowns, masks, blocking of treatment, or the deadly vaccines and remdesivir.

As Steve Deace and I warned in our book, “Those responsible are without remorse, so there must be a reckoning. Barring that reckoning, we promise you they will make us remorseful later for not holding them accountable now.”

Well, here we are with multiple colleges and businesses, including those in red states, pushing inhumane and illogical mask mandates again. Here we are with the FDA about to approve more dangerous COVID variant-chasing shots for the fall. And here we are with the FDA approving another dangerous Pfizer shot for RSV for pregnant women, despite terrible reproductive safety signals with the company’s COVID shots and now concerns of preterm birth with its RSV serum. Operation Warp Speed was not an anomaly but a new paradigm. Public health surveillance and restriction were not an aberration from life but a new way of life for these people.

Then there is the economy. Obviously, the economy chewed up a substantial portion of the presidential debate, as well as most of our daily political discussions. But nearly every economic ill that ails us today is the result of the COVID money-printing policies. The trillions of dollars of monetary and fiscal spending created the greatest wealth gap in American history, as well as a permanently elevated cost of living.

Ron DeSantis was the only one on the stage to trace the excrement sandwich we now call our economy back to its obvious source. Otherwise, the entire existence of the past three years from hell would never have been recalled, even as many of the policies are making a comeback, with a number of them – from rushed vaccines to inflation – never having left.

The coverage of the COVID abomination even from conservative media has been muted from day one – ever since “15 days to stop the spread” supplanted life, liberty, property, and economic prosperity until this very day. I’m not going to speculate as to the rationale for this obfuscation, but it is jarring that Tucker Carlson did not ask Trump a single question about it during his carefully timed pretaped interview aired at 9 p.m. Eastern Wednesday night.

For those who think COVID fascism is over, just keep in mind:

• The FDA and CDC are still funding and promoting dangerous vaccines at an even quicker pace.
• Remdesivir is still the treatment for COVID to this very day.
• Governments are still tracking and surveilling vaccination status.
• Masking is still the go-to policy in many settings whenever respiratory viruses spread.
• Our government has not slowed its gain-of-function aka vaccine research one bit.

The Biden administration just announced another $1.4 billion to develop the “next generation” of COVID shots. Where is the outrage from the GOP or even the promise to defund these shots in the upcoming fiscal year budget just weeks away?

The lesson of the muted response to COVID from the so-called right is that clearly things have not gotten bad enough. The sad and terrifying thing is that whatever they must throw at us to elicit a righteous and unified policy response will now have to be so devastating that we will likely never have the political ability to fight it even if we wanted to. Meanwhile, the vanity and political circus will continue unabated.

The World Before 1215

1215: Years that Changed History

Dr Dorsey Armstrong 2019

Film Review

This is a fascinating lecture series about world changing events occurring as a direct or indirect result of global warming (by 2 degrees F) between 1000 and 1400 AD.

The events included in the series include

• the Magna Carta
• the capture of Beijing by Genghis Khan
• the Fourth Lateran Council (responsible for church weddings, the celibacy of Catholic priests and state-sanctioned persecution of Jews and Muslim
• Pope Innocent’s call for the Fifth Crusade
• Zimbabwe’s rise to power in Africa
• the flowering of Pueblo culture in America
• the Golden Age of Islam, resulting in significant discoveries in medicine, math and astronomy
• the rise of the Samurai in Japan

In 1000 AD, the cities that flourished under the Roman empire had vanished. 95% of Europe (population 35 million) was rural, dependent on subsistence farming and (owing to low protein diets) likely to suffer from malnutrition.

However thanks to a warming period known as the Little Optimal, 300 years later Europe had a population of 80 million and London, Paris and Rome were booming. Improved crop yields and reduced infant mortality not only increased population size, but drove robust trade. By 1100, all previously unclaimed land had been claimed and land-owing aristocrats began to claim control over regional forests, which were rapidly cleared for food production.

The increase in trade and urban life meant that merchants, for the first time, could achieve the same economic status as land-owning noble. As the forests and access to wild food declined, real destitution appeared for the the first time. Beggars, who lost old  connections to communities and churches that kept them from starving, also began migrating to cities, where some supported themselves via gambling, prostitution and thievery. .

Warmer temperatures also led to an increase in overall fish stocks, a booming international herring and cod trade and advances in seafaring technologies.

Eric Thorvalsson (Eric the Red) established the first European colony in Greenland in 985, and in 1000 his son Leif Erickson established the first European settlement in North America (Newfoundland). Erickson named his new colony Vinland, intrigued to find wild grapes growing so far north.

In Europe, the population grew so rapidly that by the 13th century hunger had outstripped the land available. According to Armstrong, this led to the rise to Europe’s persecuting society, which stripped certain populations (lepers, pagans, Jews, heretic, pagans, single women, widows etc) of their right to productive land). This supposed improved access to land (and food) for the rest of society.

In the North American Southwest, global warming led to such severe drought that some civilizations abandoned 1000-year-old sites and relocated to find water.

Climate change also threatened the lifestyle of Mongolian nomads on the Central Asian plain. Forced them to expand westward because when traditional pastures ceased to support them, they brought Genghis Khan to power between 1162-1227. He, in turn,  create the largest empire ever in world history.

As the climate cooled around 1400 and the rains returned, life became easier in the Mongols’ traditional ancestral homeland (Outer Mongolia) and seems, according to Armstrong, to have ended their push westward.

The discovery process in a court case launched by a cohort of Australian doctors suing the government of Queensland for its Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “vaccine” mandates has brought to light the fact that the very first “COVID” deaths that occurred in the state were fully vaccinated.

You read that right: the very first people to die from “COVID” in Queensland were people who had taken all the jabs as ordered by the government to “protect” them against becoming infected with the Fauci Flu.

Internal government records show that the first 183 deaths that occurred during the “pandemic,” which officially began there on March 13, 2020, and lasted through Jan. 27, 2022, were in those who should have been immune to COVID, assuming the shots actually work as claimed.

Further, the documents show that authorities in Queensland knew as early as January of 2022 that COVID jabs were not protecting people against the so-called “virus.” And yet, none of them ever mentioned this publicly as they forced the populace to get jabbed.

“The list shows that the first locally acquired COVID-19 death was one in their 80s and another in their 30s, with both having received two doses of the vaccine in December 2021 and January 2022, respectively,” reports reveal.

END the Queensland covid jab mandate for public health, aged-care facility workers, lawsuit demands

Early in the scamdemic, Queensland recorded seven deaths from “COVID,” with all of the individuals in question having acquired their disease outside the state before the jab rollout began.

In December of 2021, Queensland’s border reopened after being closed for almost two years. By then, 80 percent of the state’s population had been jabbed – and by the end of 2021, roughly 90 percent of the population over the age of 16 had gotten injected.

The purpose of the new lawsuit, which uncovered all these juicy details about Queensland corruption, is to revoke the September of 2021 directive for the state that requires all employees who work in the public health and aged-care facility sectors to get jabbed for the Chinese Virus.

“I graduated from medical school 40 years ago and in all that time have never had a single complaint about me presented to a medical board or AHPRA,” said psychiatrist Peter Parry, a case specialist who in his three-decade career has never once been subjected to disciplinary action – until now.

Parry chose to decline COVID-19 injections because he says they are “not normal vaccines.” In fact, they are not vaccines at all, based on the traditional definition of a vaccine.

“We hope, by bringing evidentiary material and expert witness testimonies before the Supreme Court, that the justices will look at the evidence and rule in our favor,” he added. “If successful, large numbers of experienced nurses, allied health, and doctors will be able to return to assist an overstretched Queensland public health system.”

In addition to these mandates, unvaccinated people in Queensland, under the order of Premier Annastacia Palazczuk, were barred from accessing certain services and exercising certain freedoms, including hospitals, aged care, disability services, libraries, and hospitality venues.

Health Advisory and Recovery Team

For those of us who started pulling uncomfortable threads of ‘hang on a minute, that doesn’t seem quite right’ and kept going, the world is now a strange landscape. When it comes to our health, many of us have had life-long assumptions smashed to smithereens.

The last few years have been a brutal introduction to the harsh realities of the medical industrial complex. Its recent behaviour has completely shattered public trust. Overnight, medical ethics including bodily autonomy and informed consent were tossed out. The dying were unable to see loved ones, blanket DNRs were applied and people were subjected to forced procedures (e.g. PCR testing) or were discriminated against based on their covid vaccination status. Most went along with these inhumane diktats that came from ‘on high’. Is it any wonder that many people would now be reluctant to enter a hospital even where there was a genuine need? There has to be a balance where people regain the confidence to seek care if genuinely needed. Throwing the baby out with the bath water will not lead to fewer excess deaths. Patients rightly want the best available care but in the current system of protocolised medicine, that pathway is far from guaranteed.

What is striking, when spending time amongst those still firmly planted behind the Overton window, is the notion that for any ailment – particularly with advancing age –  the answer is always pharmaceutical or surgical interventions rather than lifestyle changes. This is clearly superb for Big Pharma. Less certain, is the benefit for the end user. Blanket approvals of the novel, mRNA injections across all age groups – in spite of total lack of long-term safety data – showed us clearly, in real-time, how money and politics corrupts health regulators. This renders the current system totally defunct. This article in The Epoch Times reports how 65% of drug recommendations by the FDA are approved based on a single study. In the meantime doctors who want to promote lifestyle changes as first line treatment ahead of more dangerous interventions, find themselves increasingly working in a system opposed to them.

Trying to make an informed assessment of risks and benefits becomes almost impossible, once you realise how untrustworthy scientific literature has become. Or perhaps always was. ‘But it says so in the Lancet….’  Hopefully, many have now realised how empty this sentence sounds.  Research outcomes are heavily influenced by the desires of those funding them, who just happen to be the ones manufacturing the drugs. This meme, whilst humorous, is worryingly accurate:

From statins to HRT, to proven-to-be-ineffective surgeries, to antidepressants, there is almost zero discussion in modern ‘medicine’ of preventative measures that do not benefit Big Pharma. Diet, exercise, breathing techniques, stress management, ensuring proper balance of micronutrients, enquiring about emotional and relationship causes of ill health. These should be the basic lines of enquiry for any competent physician, long before offering various magic bullets following the luxurious seven minute consultation via Zoom. GPs offering this paltry level of service are complicit in ensuring their own redundancy within a few short years. AI would serve just as well, the human factor having been almost entirely scrubbed out.

Most people with elderly parents know that they often need special plastic containers to house the numerous medications that they take on a daily basis. Often many of these drugs were added in sequence to deal with side effects (or more correctly, ‘effects’) of the medications that were introduced first. This close-to-the-bone satire that has been circulating online really sums it up:

“I took ASPIRIN for the headache caused by the ZYRTEC™ for the hay fever I got from the RELENZA™ for the upset stomach and flu-like symptoms caused by the VIAGRA™ for the erectile dysfunction from the PROPECIA™ for the hair loss caused by the RITALIN™ for my short attention span caused by the SCOPODERM TTS™ for the motion sickness that I got from the LOMOTIL™ for the diarrhoea caused by the XENICAL™ for the weight gain caused by the PAXIL™ for the anxiety that I got from the ZOCOR™ that I’m taking for my high cholesterol, because a good diet and exercise is just too much trouble.”

There seems to be the prevailing belief that human beings can only stay alive with constant interference from the medical profession.  But what if the entire system keeps you sick, in order to retain you as a loyal customer to The Firm? What if much of the so-called ‘safety’ data are in fact just as flawed as those used to push the covid ‘vaccines’ in 2020? For those of us who became curious (suspicious?), we felt it might be worth having a retrospective look at other trends in medical diagnostics and treatments.

As it turns out, the more you look, the more you find…

Doing more harm than good?

A deep dive into questionable drugs and surgical practices that are built into standard protocols here in the UK would fill a book. Maybe several books. That is beyond the scope of this article, however here are a few ‘top picks’ to get started:

1. Statins: This has been allowed on occasion to seep into mainstream consciousness, but it is still worth reading the book written by Dr Malcolm Kendrick, entitled The Great Cholesterol Con. There is simply no good evidence for the widespread use of statins. The notion that they don’t have harmful effects is also nonsense. A 17-year study on the elderly showed that low serum cholesterol was associated with increased frailty, accelerated mental decline, and early death. This should get any sensible clinician asking questions about what effects deliberately lowering it might have on long-term health. During ward rounds one senior consultant says to his juniors, ‘let’s stop this wonder drug’, scoring it off the prescription list. The juniors ask why he calls it that, to which he replies ‘I wonder what use it is!’
2. SSRIs: a growing number of studies show they are less effective than thought. Has this resulted in a decline in prescriptions? Of course not. In fact psychiatry in general is an area that many medics describe as barbaric. The links between gut and brain health are now widely accepted and yet almost no money goes into mainstream R&D in this area. Cures are simply not as profitable as life-long customers.
3. ​​HRT: There is evidence for an increased risk of blood clots and stroke as well as an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer in women using HRT. In researching this article and questioning women who had recently started on these drugs, most had not been adequately informed as to any associated risks. Many had no idea what kind of HRT they were even taking. This shows the level of blind faith people still have in a system that, judging by the history of criminal fines paid out, does not have a very good track record, to say the least.
4. Angioplasty: For decades, we were led to believe that angioplasties are an effective treatment for not only angina (chest pain) but also served as protection from a heart attack. Now, the evidence seems to point to the procedure being ‘useless’ or even worse than useless. Lifestyle and diet changes are more effective and have the capacity to reverse the progression of coronary heart disease. This hardly seems like rocket science but somehow has taken decades to ‘realise’.
5. Childhood Vaccinations: or as we like to call them, The Sacred Cows. Daring to even utter the words that these interventions may carry risks as well as benefits, or pointing out that there are no long-term safety studies using a genuine placebo, seems to create an allergic reaction in even the most sceptical of folks. However, at HART the adage ‘everything is back on the table’ is one we hold dear. Many people who now have the appetite to question The Science™ are quietly murmuring the name of the book Turtles All the Way Down. Perhaps it is worth reading, just to know what the alternative view point is. We do not need protection from theories. We need them to be aired and debated, so we can reach full and informed decisions. No topic should be out of bounds, including this one. Perhaps especially this one.

This list could go on ad infinitum, but instead we will end with a list of suggestions given by various practising medics when asked about drugs or interventions that they question. Once again, we point out that people are individuals. Protocols are not good for individuals. Do your research, take responsibility and remember that The Experts may have their hands tied firmly behind their back by The Money.

List of drugs with questionable efficacy/safety from currently prescribing doctors: 

1. Dementia drugs: noted poor efficacy, serious side-effects;
2. Anticoagulants: should be used more judiciously due to risks of bleeds after falls;
3. Bisphosphonates: this drug for osteoporosis has notoriously bad side effects, and shows questionable efficacy;
4. Benzodiazepines and other so-called ‘Z’ drugs (zopiclone, eszopiclone, zaleplon and zolpidem): habit forming with evidence of severe side effects such as dementia, infections, respiratory disease exacerbation, pancreatitis, and cancer. They cause severe withdrawal symptoms;
5. Gliflozins: the new ‘wonder drugs’ used in diabetes and heart failure. Concerns about kidney damage and they come with no long-term safety profile;
6. GLP-1 agonist injectables: originally marketed for diabetes, now being sold as weight loss drugs. Concerns over risks of thyroid and pancreatic cancer and can cause pancreatitis;
7. Psychiatric drugs in general. Recommended reading: Toxic Psychiatry by Peter Breggin;
8. Antivirals: For example Tamiflu, which is now labelled a ‘fiasco’. The drug caused severe side effects such as hallucinations, self-injury, abnormal behaviour and renal impairment;
9. Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs): evidence of major side effects with long-term use, including dementia, chronic kidney disease and increased cancer risk;
10. Beta Blockers: evidence that long-term use is not associated with improved cardiovascular outcomes, with considerable side effects, such as depression and fatigue;
11. Anti-arthritis drugs: Overuse of NSAIDs in particular can cause bleeding, heart attack, stroke, and renal damage.

New York Post

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has accused the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of coordinating with social media companies to suppress certain information about COVID-19 vaccines.

Citing one of his own social media posts about vaccines that got labeled misleading, Johnson claimed the agency had abused its authority and demanded it fork over key documents about the efforts in a Monday letter to CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen.

“Based on recent information I have received … it is clear that CDC abused its authority by engaging in a censorship campaign to suppress and discredit certain viewpoints it labeled as ‘misinformation,’” Johnson wrote in the letter, obtained by The Post.

As an example, Johnson highlighted a Jan. 3, 2022, post he made on Twitter, now known as X, that highlighted information from the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

In the post, Johnson claimed that VAERS data showed there had been over 1 million adverse effects from the COVID-19 jab. That post was labeled misleading on the platform with a note explaining that most public health officials had deemed the vaccines safe.

All replies, shares, or likes stemming from that post were then blocked by the platform, according to Johnson. Since then, X has switched to a “Community Notes” system that crowdsources corrections to potentially misleading posts.

The platform’s new leadership later explained to Johnson that executive branch officials, particularly from the CDC, “communicated with social media companies, including Twitter, about ‘COVID Vaccine Misinformation,’” the senator wrote.

“The information Twitter provided showed a clear and concerted effort by the CDC to censor those who tweeted about VAERS data,” Johnson added.

Johnson, the ranking member on the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, is demanding records detailing interactions between all CDC employees and employees at X, Facebook, and YouTube regarding 10 individuals who expressed vaccine and lockdown-skeptical views beginning Dec. 1, 2019.

Those 10 include Johnson himself, Brianne Dressen, John Ioannidis, Robert Kennedy, Jr., Pierre Kory, Theresa Long, Robert Malone, Peter McCullough, Harvey Risch, and Aaron Siri.

The Wisconsin senator is also requesting all records pertaining to CDC interactions with both private sector companies and federal agencies about suppression of online speech or COVID-19 misinformation policies.

He is also seeking records about “Be On the Lookout” topics and a list of all social media posts the CDC flagged as “containing misinformation, disinformation, or generally disfavored speech.”

Johnson gave the CDC a Sept. 11 deadline to comply. The agency did not return The Post’s request for comment, but has noted in the past that VAERS relies on reports submitted by individuals rather than health officials.

“VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused a health problem but is especially useful for detecting unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse event reporting that might indicate a possible safety problem with a vaccine,” read an advisory to the social network included in Johnson’s letter.

In the letter, Johnson also laid out a timeline laying out the sequence of events in the run-up to his tweet about VAERS.

“It appears that CDC’s efforts to coordinate with Twitter to discredit posts about VAERS shortly followed my own public statements about VAERS data and the mainstream media’s condemnation of my remarks,” he wrote.

Content moderation policies on social media platforms have long been a rallying cry for conservatives who complain they have been unfairly censored.

In the House, Republicans led by Subcommittee on Government Weaponization Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) have been probing social media policies.
