Evidence on the Adverse Effects of the COVID Vaccines Is Piling Up 

Who’s Counting? Many drugs and medical procedures have adverse reactions. That includes radiation and chemotherapy for cancer. The sensible and historic response to reports of these adverse reactions is to record them (which is done by the WHO and other organizations), study them, and then compare them – in terms of how common they are and how serious they are – to their positive reactions (benefits). Can you guess how many adverse reactions to the mRNA vaccinations have been recorded since 2001?

“Unassailable Proof” from an MIT Professor. In March 2023, MIT Professor Retsef Levi disclosed data acquired by the Israeli Ministry of Health. In his Nov. 5 newsletter, Steve Kirsch, a longtime critic of the Biden administration’s COVID policies, presented key components of that data, which demonstrates that (1) “the mortality risk curve” is the opposite in slope to what it would be if the vaccines were safe, (2) the risk of death “monotonically increases” after the COVID vaccinations, and (3) the risk of death increases “exponentially” with each shot.” His conclusion: The Israeli data is “unassailable proof the vaccines are killing people.” Click here.

The Most Censored Chart in Congressional History. On Jan. 25, 2022, Sen. Ron Johnson (WI-R) held the “Second Opinion” panel with top experts in the medical field. During that hearing, he presented a chart comparing adverse events of different medical products, like ivermectin, remdesivir, and the COVID-19 vaccines. After doing so, Johnson’s chart was whitewashed from the internet, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter (1.0), TikTok, and other major social media platforms. On Nov. 13, nearly two years after his initial chart went viral, Johnson presented the chart with updated figures at the “Injuries Caused by COVID-19 Vaccines” hearing. The data is alarming.

The Hospital Death Trap. On a recent installment of Joe Rogan’s podcast, Elon Musk explained how he knew, in the very early days of COVID Mania, why ventilators didn’t save lives, but increased deaths. Click here. (Reminder: I wrote about this almost a year ago!)

My Conspiracy Prediction Is Looking Good

As regular readers know, I’ve been predicting that Biden would not be the Democrat nominee for president for more than a year. He won the 2020 election because Democratic strategists wisely made it about COVID, when the fear of it was at hysterical levels (thanks to the CDC and the NHI) and because his handlers kept him locked away as much as possible. Today, the Democrats once again have a tailwind behind them thanks to the Supreme Court decision on abortion, but measures taken by individual states are reducing the anger over that and confidence in Biden has dropped to an all-time low. So, with the economy suffering and Biden’s brain in serious decline, there is no way they are going to take the chance of putting him up against Trump in 2024.

I’ve said that I expect Biden to announce his withdrawal from the race sometime around Thanksgiving in order to give his replacement (probably Gavin Newsom) time to build his own campaign. I’ve also said that, in the weeks preceding Thanksgiving, the mainstream media would begin to publish stories calling for him to step aside.

That’s happening. In the past several weeks, they’ve been popping up all over the place. Click here and here and here and here and here.

Five New COVID Discoveries and Stories You Haven’t Heard About

Celebs dying! One of the COVID “conspiracy” newsletters I read occasionally is dedicated to keeping the public on top of the young actors, athletes, and other celebrities that have been mysteriously dying since the introduction of the mRNA vaccines. Matthew Perry (54) and Tyler Christopher (54) are just two of the more than 50 recent cases they’ve reported on so far. Click here.

Remember the ventilators? They were considered lifesavers in the early days of COVID. Now pretty much everyone knows that they did not save lives. In fact, there is good evidence that they made things worse, damaging heart tissue and elevating death rates. Here, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk talk about it.

Worrisome findings from two studies. One from Harvard, which found mRNA stuck in the hearts of people who died following COVID-19 injections, and a human cardiac PET study showing that positron emission tomography scans of the heart changed in almost everybody who took the shot. Click here.

Neurological complications. According to a recent study published in the journal Vaccines, almost one-third of individuals who received a COVID-19 vaccine suffered from neurological complications such as tremors, insomnia, and muscle spasms. Click here.

Was Trump, the blowhard, right? Ivermectin, the drug once called “horse de-wormer,” has been shown to be effective against COVID-19, as well as flu and RSV. And if that were not enough, it’s said to have cancer-fighting properties. Click here for five facts you should know.

Recent Notable Reactions to the Israel/Hamas War

“It wasn’t the rallies with ‘Keep the World Clean’ posters and chants of ‘gas the Jews.’ Nor was it the glorification of Hamas paragliders by the Chicago branch of Black Lives Matter or, in New York and London, the tearing down of posters with the faces of Israeli children held hostage by Hamas. Not even the off-the-charts uptick in antisemitic incidents in Germany (240%), the United Kingdom (641%), and the United States (nearly 400%) convinced me.

“It was, rather one of those realizations that so many generations of Jews before me have experienced. A realization that they, like me, surely tried to push out of their minds until the reality became unmistakable.” (Michael Oren, writing in the Oct. 26 issue of The Free Press). Read more of Oren’s essay here.

American Jews make up 2.4% of the US population. And yet, according to the FBI, they have been, for many years, the targets of 60% of hate crimes. It’s much worse now, with mass protests where people chant “from the river to the sea” (i.e., wipe Israel off the face of the earth) and shout threats against Jewish students locked in university rooms. The percentage has got to be over 80% now. And what is the Biden administration doing about it? They’ve asked Kamala to head up the “first ever US National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia”!

Learn your history, kids. One of the arguments we’ve been hearing about Israel vs. Hamas concerns which group has “ancestral” rights to the disputed land. Here is a definitive history of the argument from a self-described “proud” Arab.

So much is lost – or distorted – in reporting the facts. Click here for a call to journalists reporting on the war.

After reading so much about the Israeli-Hamas war, I’ve been feeling a sort of ennui composed of dread and despair. But when I saw this video, it gave me – somehow – a very different feeling. It is a young boy singing. That is really all it is. But it is beautiful, and I found it soothing and almost inspirational.

On the Economy

* The average net worth of American families topped $1 million for the first time last year, according to the Federal Reserve. That average is skewed to a degree by a small number of billionaires and multimillionaires. But, as Josh Zumbrun points out here, the upper-middle class has also seen big wealth gains thanks to educational attainment, saving, bull markets, and good timing.

* Workers are doing less work for the same pay. To attract and retain good people, employers are offering more benefits than ever before, including more paid “time off” days (including family leave, sick leave, and vacation). And employees are using it, which is causing a fast-rising gap between employee compensation and employee output. In this essay, Jeffrey Sparshott explains why it is NOT a good thing.

* October was a bleak month for stock traders.  According to at least one analyst, this could mean a big upside for at least four stocks in the Dow. Click here.

* If elected, Trump said he will cut government spending “back to the bone.” That sounds like BS, especially coming from a former president under whose leadership US debt reached all-time highs. But there is reason to believe he might do it. Click here.

* No, Pumpkin, there are no free lunches. Common economic sense from Milton Freedman. Click here.

Another Way to Look at the Israeli/Hamas War 

Hamas’s brutal and barbaric attack on Israel was done to provoke Israel to conduct a land war in Gaza. Hamas leaders believe they have the wherewithal to eventually defeat Israel by making it a long and extremely costly engagement, with tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of casualties. With each new dead Palestinian, the world’s opinion of Israel will gradually turn against the US. And that will eventually turn the world against Israel.

It seems possible. The attack and Israel’s counterattack has already moved the needle in that direction. It has also moved Saudi Arabia to renounce its treaty with Israel.

But what choice does Israel have? Bombing Gaza to smithereens will eventually have the same effect, but without achieving anything. International aid will pour in and Hamas will resume its efforts to destroy Israel.

The only way I can see Israel winning this is by conducting a massive invasion of Gaza, killing or jailing every Hamas terrorist, and then claiming Gaza as its own and gradually eliminating Hamas by making it a true police state for 10 or 20 years.

And if I’m right about that, they should have probably invaded Gaza on day one.

Is there any other way Israel can ensure its safety in the future?

Bill Bonner on War and the “Hypocrisy of the Elites” 

“But for our purposes, we are focused neither on the wolves nor the lambs, but on the shepherds. In a civilized world… leaders of countries such as the US, France, and Germany would be trying to protect the sheep. They would urge restraint. Calm. Negotiation. Deliberation. Most importantly, they would at least make it clear that they could not in good conscience provide aid – guns and ammunition – to be used to slaughter innocent civilians.

“This would be deeply hypocritical on their part. But hypocrisy is the proper role of the elites – to preach virtue in public, while enjoying whatever vices they choose at home. Almost all nations at one time or another slip into Old Testament kind of warfare, where they authorize, promote, or overlook the ‘collateral damage’ they cause. But while major nations may not be able to avoid it in themselves, they have the power to curtail it in others.

“What is so alarmingly on display in the Levant is the abject failure of The West’s leaders. Even at hypocrisy, they are a flop. Instead of calming people down, they incite them to even more outrageous acts of violence.” – Bill Bonner, Bonner Private Research, 10/16/23

The Difference Between Ambition and Entitlement 

“Ambition is when you expect yourself to close the gap between what you have and what you want. Entitlement is when you expect others to close the gap between what you have and what you want.” – James Clear
