The Truth About Smallpox

Director Kate Suggat (2022)

Film review

Link to film: The Truth About Smallpox

In exploring doctors’ longstanding difficulty in diagnosi smallpox (as well as plague and leprosy), this fascinating film challenges the conventional wisdom that smallpox was “eradicated” in the 1970s.*

Suggat links the Western tradition of linking illness to uncleanness  and/or demonic possession to current notions of contagious disease. There is no concept of contagion in Traditional Chinese or Ayurvedic Medicine.

Leprosy was one of the earliest illnesses leading human beings to be shunned by their community. Traditionally the condition, diagnosed by priests and community councils, rather than doctors, included a diverse range of symptoms including rashes, baldness, abcesses and excessive laughing or singing.

In the 13th century, plague replaced leprosy as the primary illness leading to community exclusion. Church and political leaders commonly used plague declarations to suppress rebellion, as well as poisoning alleged plague victims to with mandatory treatment mercury treatments. accept forced (toxic mercury) treatments. As with leprosy, plague symptoms were extremely imprecise. The earliest Western prisons were based on plague hospitals.

Smallpox is an even more imprecise contagious disease that is virtually impossible to distinguish from a measles, chickenpox and monkeypox. The Persian physician Rhazes (965-925 AD) was the first to attempt to differentiate smallpox from measles. Although famous Canadian physician Dr William Osler (1849-1919 AD) claimed to be able to distinguish smallpox from measles, he never set out clear criteria to enabling other doctors to make this distinction.

The diagnosis of chickenpox doesn’t appear in the medical literature until 1767, when Dr William Herberdon used it to diagnose febrile rashes patients who were vaccinated against smallpox.* There’s still no clear criteria to differentiate the two illnesses, especially in adults, who can get very sick with chickenpox. Up until the so-called eradication of “smallpox” in the 1970s, the diagnosis largely related to an individual’s smallpox vaccination status: those vaccinated for smallpox were diagnosed with chickenpox, whereas unvaccinated patients received a smallpox diagnosis.

Two years following the eradication of smallpox, monkeypox mysteriously jumped from monkeys to humans. Monkeypox also has no specific signs or symptoms that differentiate it from smallpox or chickenpox.

Suggat points out a similar confusion over the diagnosis of polio after the Salk polio vaccine was introduced in 1953. After the CDC required that paralysis had to be present longer than 60 days for a polio diagnosis,** its prevalence suddenly dropped from 50,000 – 60,000 cases a year to several hundred.

Despite the longstanding confusion over the diagnosis of smallpox, chicken pox and monkey pox, I disagree with Suggat’s conclusion that 1) the existence of viruses is an unproven theory; 2) all contagious diseases, such as smallpox, chickenpox, measles, plague, leprosy and “so-called” sexually transmitted diseases actually represent an accumulation of toxic wastes; and 3) that healthy people won’t get chickenpox, measles or sexually transmitted disease and 3) viruses are.

Suggat justifies her conclusions, in part, by her belief the fact that viruses can only be identified by indirect methods because they can’t be clearly visualized (under an electron microscope). This is incorrect. At present, viruses can be clearly visualized by a combination of x-ray crystallography and cryogenic electron microscopy. See Structure determination of a human virus by the combination of cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography

Moreover the organisms causing leprosy, plague and syphilis aren’t viruses but bacteria that can be clearly visualized under a light microscope. At present, leprosy is diagnosed based on evidence of Mycobacterium leprae infestation, plague on Yersinia pestis infestation and syphilis on Treponema pallidum infestation.

Two other conditions (impetigo and scarlet fever) she blames on fictitious infectious illnesses are also diagnosed in the presence of infestation with specific bacteria:. group A streptococcus (impetigo) and streptococcus pyogenes (scarlet fever).

That being said, it’s well-accepted in Western medical circles that stress and poor nutrition greatly increase an individual’s susceptibility to infectious disease. There’s also strong evidence that overall improvement in global nutrition (and not vaccination) is largely responsible for the steep reduction in infectious illness during the 20th century. However it doesn’t follow that infectious disease is non-existent or that healthy people won’t contract infections.

**In 1721, Lady Mary Wortley Mongagu imported variolation (aka smallpox vaccine) to Britain after having observed it being administered in Istanbul.

(Natural News) Central banks are buying gold at a record pace in anticipation of fiat currency collapse. Meanwhile, the commercial banking sector is imploding. Just today, three more banks were halted on the stock exchange as their stock prices collapsed.

Those three banks are PacWest Bankcorp, Western Alliance and Metropolitan Bank.

More bank failures are imminent. Fiat currencies are collapsing (by design). The goal of the corrupt establishment is to take out the small and mid-sized banks, and leave just a few giants standing, holding all the assets. JP Morgan, anyone?

Once the small and mid-sized banks are destroyed, the powers that be will initiate the final collapse of the dollar and attempt to force everyone into Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), which will be the final nail in the coffin of human freedom.

Just yesterday, I interviewed Chris Olson, the CEO of Treasure Island, about this very scenario. That interview is featured in today’s hard-hitting Brighteon Broadcast News episode shown below.

Recent revelations that the renowned linguist and political activist met with Jeffrey Epstein several times have surprised and confused many. Why was Epstein interested in meeting with Noam Chomsky? And why did Chomsky agree to meet him despite his past? The answer may surprise you.

On Sunday, the Wall Street Journal published a report detailing information contained within a “trove” of previously unreported documents of the deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Those documents, which have not been publicly released and appear to have been passed solely to the Journal, included Epstein’s private calendar and meeting schedules. The documents, per the Journal, contain “thousands of pages of emails and schedules from 2013 to 2017” and – as the report notes – detail Epstein’s dealings with several prominent individuals whose names were not on his flight logs or his infamous “little black book” of contacts. One of these individuals is the renowned linguist, political commentator and critic of capitalism and empire, Noam Chomsky.

Chomsky, who has previously discussed the Epstein case in interviews and who has maintained that Epstein’s ties to intelligence agencies should be considered a “conspiracy theory,” had not previously disclosed these meetings.

[…]

Many, largely on the left, have expressed dismay and confusion as to why someone with the political views of Chomsky would willingly meet, not once but several times, with someone like Jeffrey Epstein, particularly well after Epstein’s notoriety as a sex trafficker and pedophile.

[…]

Why Did Chomsky Meet with Epstein?

According to the Journal, Chomsky’s meetings with Epstein took place during the years 2015 and 2016, while Chomsky taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or MIT. Chomsky told the Journal that he met with Epstein to discuss topics like neuroscience with other academics, like Harvard’s Martin Nowak (who was heavily funded by Epstein). On a separate occasion, Chomsky again met with Epstein alongside former Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Barak, allegedly to discuss “Israel’s policies with regard to Palestinian issues and the international arena.” A separate date saw Chomsky and his wife invited by Epstein to have dinner with him, Woody Allen and Allen’s wife Soon-Yi Previn.

[…]

Before continuing further, it is important to note that aside from Epstein, both Ehud Barak and Woody Allen have been accused of having inappropriate sexual relationships with minors.

[…]

In Woody Allen’s case, he has been accused of sexually assaulting his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow when she was 7 years old. That abuse claim has been corroborated by witnesses and other evidence.

[…]

Allen subsequently “seduced” and later married another adopted daughter of Farrow’s, Soon-Yi Previn, whom Allen first met when Previn was a child.

[…]

In the case of Allen and Epstein, and potentially Barak as well, their sexual proclivities and scandals were well known by the time Chomsky met with these men, making a strong suggestion that this type of behavior was not seen by Chomsky as taboo or as a barrier to socialization.

[…]

Thus, per Epstein, his interest in inviting Chomsky to his house was explicitly related to the “artificial intelligence,” which was a major scientific interest of Epstein’s. This also provides a major clue as to how Chomsky and Epstein might have first been introduced.

Chomsky, Epstein and MIT

Chomsky is most widely viewed as a famous linguist, political commentator and critic of modern capitalism and imperialism. So, why did Epstein seek to meet with him instead on Artificial Intelligence matters?

Well, an admitted “friend” of both Chomsky’s and Epstein’s was the AI pioneer Marvin Minsky. Like Chomsky, Minsky was a long-time professor and academic at MIT.

[…]

Epstein described himself as being “very close” to Minsky, who died in 2016, roughly a year after Epstein began meeting with Chomsky. Epstein also financed some of Minsky’s projects and Minsky, like Ehud Barak, was accused of sexually abusing the minors Epstein trafficked.

Another blood bath in American banks was seen today in stock market trading, with a “total collapse” of regional banks.

a total collapse in regional banks…

And despite the Biden admin claiming that FRC was just another ‘outlier’ business model, PacWest, Western Alliance, and Zions (among others) are in a freefall…

This follows the collapse of the second largest bank in U.S. history that occurred over this past weekend with First Republic Bank.

On Monday morning, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who stepped in to purchase the remaining assets of First Republic Bank at bargain rates, announced that the U.S. Banking system is “very, very sound.”

[…]

Pam Martens of Wall Street on Parade, who has extensively covered the multiple felony charges that have been filed against Jamie Dimon over the years since he took over at Chase, published an article this morning explaining how we cannot trust Dimon’s statements that he is “saving” the banking industry, because he is one of the main reasons these smaller banks are failing in the first place.

There are two critical things you need to know about JPMorgan Chase’s Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon’s ability to stabilize the banking crisis: (1) he’s tried twice and failed both times; (2) his bank is a key financier of hedge funds, some of which are undermining bank stock prices with short selling.

The Financial Times reported on April 5 that “Hedge funds made more than $7bn in profits by betting against bank shares during the recent crisis that rocked the sector, their biggest such haul since the 2008 financial crisis.”

[…]

Is Jamie Dimon Looking to Take Over Big Tech?

As mentioned above, Jamie Dimon’s Bank now holds over 10% of America’s deposits, and that percentage will only increase as more and more smaller banks collapse.

Most of these banks that have failed so far have been with banks holding the deposits of venture capitalists and billionaires from Big Tech. Some are now speculating that Dimon is looking to start dominating Silicon Valley, and have a greater influence with Big Tech.

[…]

“JPMorgan has a decades long presence in Silicon Valley, with well-established relationships across the corporate, venture and startup community,” a JPMorgan spokesperson said.

“We welcomed thousands more in recent weeks so they could continue to run their businesses without interruption.…We are committed to the innovation economy and excited about the opportunities to do even more.” (Full article – Subscription needed.)

Analysis: This Could be the Next Step in the “Great Reset” and Digital Control

As things have unfolded here in the first 4 months of 2023, I think I am seeing a pattern now of where this all might be going, and how we might now be at the start of the next phase of the “Great Reset,” and the desire of the Globalists to take digital control over the population as the U.S. economy crashes.

This phase actually began in November of 2022, with the roll-out of Microsoft’s AI ChatGPT. Even though this AI app had many problems and consistently gave wrong or bad information, it quickly became the fastest and most downloaded app of all time, even surpassing TikTok, as hundreds of millions of people downloaded it out of fascination to see what it could do.

The sheer amount of downloads sent panic throughout Big Tech, as everyone was afraid of being left in the dust on this new frenzy that Microsoft had created.

Google panicked the most, because while they had over 90% of all Internet searches, with Microsoft’s Bing a very distant second, here was something that threatened their near monopoly on Internet searches that it has held for decades now.

So they quickly released their own AI chat bot, Bard, and also released it to the public, and it made more mistakes than even Microsoft’s ChatGPT.

Within a very short period of time, Big Tech, which had been crashing since the fallout of FTX in 2022, started investing $BILLIONS into AI chat software. $Billions of investment into something that Microsoft started, by giving it away for free.

I have published several articles now warning people that this quite literally is the largest financial bubble of all time, because money is going out in investments while banks are failing, and little to no revenue is coming back in yet from those investments.

And that is a recipe for disaster, as many others in the financial world also clearly see as a huge risk. Here is one recent article published a couple of days ago on MarketWatch.year to build out more infrastructure to support the higher-performance computing power needed for AI, and hope to reap the rewards later.go to companies like Nvidia Corp. and other hardware makers making data-center infrastructure technologies.

[…]

The entire U.S. stock market is being supported by Big Tech right now, and almost everything being invested in Big Tech revolves around AI, as they bet on the future where at some point those investments will return a profit.

But with the Big Tech banks now failing and all other U.S. banks also doing poorly as credit dries up, who is going to continue funding Big Tech?

And the news just keeps getting worse, as the largest of all Big Tech companies, Apple, is facing huge potential losses based on the trade war with China, according to a report published today.

[…]

Big Tech is in serious trouble, and the entire industry stands at the brink of a total collapse, along with hundreds of regional and small banks, unless they are bailed out.

Who will be left to bailout these banks and Big Tech companies?

Apparently Jamie Dimon, along with his pal Bill Gates, and his pal, Warren Buffet. (See: Who Owns the World Health Organization and Their Plan to Vaccinate and Digitally Track Every Human Being on the Planet?)

What we are probably looking at are a handful of banks and a handful of tech companies that are “Too Big to Fail” and will be bailed out.

These Big Tech companies MUST be bailed out, because the U.S. Government, along with the military and all of their intelligence agencies, have all their data stored in the Cloud with these companies.

[…]

Never mind the fact that ChatGPT cannot be trusted to provide accurate and unbiased information, it is FREE and it works faster! Who can compete with that?

[…]

Just like Jamie Dimon seems to be consolidating the Banking industry by driving smaller banks out of business, so too might Bill Gates and Microsoft be driving smaller Tech companies out of business, to consolidate the Tech industry.

What a perfect scenario that might be unfolding for the Globalists to eventually force everyone to bank at only the banks they choose, and only use the technology products they decide upon, all as part of the Great Reset to convert everyone into the new digital age where everyone will need some kind of digital ID to participate in, with everything about your private or public life digitally tracked and stored.

Washington’s poor decision-making is starting to catch up with it, as nations choose to pursue peace without American interference.

As Washington’s influence in the Middle East declines, countries throughout the region are taking to compromise, rapprochement, and peace talks, inflicting a blow to the US narrative that seeks to depict its role as a stabilizer and democracy advocate.

Under the leadership of US President Joe Biden, there has been a notable downgrade in the status of the West amongst various long-time Middle East allies. As the US-led West exerts the majority of its efforts on the war in Ukraine, its poor decision making in the Middle East has finally begun to catch up to it.

The first major blow to Washington’s influence came in the form of a Chinese-mediated agreement to end a decades-long feud between major regional actors Iran and Saudi Arabia, one which led to the severing of ties in 2016. This has a number of implications for US power in the region.

The first being that this collapsed a strategy that the US was developing, to unite Saudi Arabia with the likes of Egypt, the UAE, Jordan, Bahrain, and Israel, against Iran and its allies in the region; the alliance was speculated to serve as a “Middle East NATO.” The second is that the Iran-Saudi rapprochement appears to have caused Riyadh to scrap its plans for normalizing ties with Israel at this time, something that the Biden administration clearly values as a foreign policy achievement. There is also the additional aspect of this being negotiated by Beijing without any regard for how it would reflect on the White House.

Immediately after the Saudi-Iran normalization, Riyadh entered into serious negotiations with Yemen’s Ansarallah (the Houthis), in order to end the war that has been raging between the two sides since 2015 and has claimed around 400,000 lives in the country. To make things worse for the US, Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister recently made a trip to Damascus to meet with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. In addition to Riyadh’s moves and Tunisia re-establishing ties with Syria, it also appears as if Ankara may be on the cusp of rapprochement with Damascus and there is a push for Syria to be re-integrated into the Arab League, which clearly runs contrary to the US agenda.

Then we have the fact that Qatar has announced it is restoring ties with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, which is not as significant as the above mentioned moves, yet adds to a list of peacemaking decisions taken without America. On the level of optics, this makes it seem as if the common denominator is the absence of the US. On the other hand, Washington’s development of ties with the Kingdom of Morocco is egging on tensions with neighboring Algeria. Not only is the Biden administration adding fuel to the fire in the diplomatic feud between both sides, but is helping exacerbate military tensions in a Rabat-Algiers arms race. Earlier this April, the US approved a potential $524.2 million sale of HIMARS artillery rocket systems to Morocco.

Furthermore, the top Middle East partner of the United States, Israel, has been severely weakened by an ongoing domestic political crisis over a proposed judicial overhaul by the Israeli government. Problems have also arisen with Israel’s approach to issues like maintaining the status quo at the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, a holy site where neighboring Jordan maintains custodianship, and it has caused major rows between Amman and Tel Aviv in recent months. This presents another obstacle to the US, which is being forced to mediate between both sides to maintain calm. Another layer is the feud between Biden and Netanyahu, which has called into question the special relationship between Israel and the US for the first time since the 1950s.

Even when it comes to the Palestine-Israel conflict, an issue wedded to the US since 1967, US leadership is waning. Earlier this week, China’s foreign minister, Qin Gang, proposed to his Palestinian Authority and Israeli counterparts that Beijing step in to facilitate dialogue between the two sides. Although the conflict is not going to be solved overnight, the mere fact that another world power is stepping into the arena will certainly send a message to American policy makers.

Instead of engaging the region as equals, looking for economic partnerships that are mutually beneficial, the US has used its military might to divide and conquer, inflicting millions of deaths and spending trillions of dollars in the process. This may have succeeded in the past, but America’s ability to wage regime change wars has been severely curtailed. The main US enemies, Iran and its allies, have made significant leaps in the military field, making direct war increasingly unfeasible, and has even pressured Tehran’s former adversaries to rethink their strategies. Although we are only at the beginning of this new phase in the Middle East, it is clear that poor policy decisions and the inability of Washington to envisage a way forward are pushing away key allies, and this time for the better.
