This has been the worst year in American life that I have witnessed in my 71 years. I wish I had died rather than see a year like this. I was born among people who had enough sense to value their rights and their liberty. I will die among people who lack that sense and excel instead in taking orders and doing as they are told.

In contrast with what is out there today, here is a brief look back to better years and better people in my hometown of St. Louis. Read More »

DR. Thomas Cowan, author of The Contagion Myth, makes a few points about the definition of a COVID case.

ON SUNDAY,  I attended a “freedom rally” near Independence Hall in Philadelphia. It was a great opportunity to meet like-minded people in a city that continues to be under grueling restrictions. Here are speeches by Nico Rocco, of Freedom is Essential; Dr. Andrew Kauffman, and Rick Martin, of the Constitutional Law Group. (I’m in a red hat standing behind Rick Martin as he speaks.)

According to Martin, “Either the government will be afraid of the people, or the people will be afraid of the government.”

The rally began with a reading of the Declaration of Independence and was just a few hundred feet from both Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, and most speakers referred to America’s famous war for freedom, but it was clear from the low turnout that Philadelphians today do not hold individual liberties in the same regard as the Founders. Throughout the city, all restaurants were closed to indoor business and many schools and office buildings are dark during the week. Most people are living in some degree of fear and a significant percentage have a puritanical, religious fervor for a hyper-sanitary code of behavior.

Can you imagine Thomas Jefferson or any of the signers of the Declaration of Independence being confined to their homes because of an illness with an over 99 percent survival rate? Can you imagine them nagging their countrymen to wash their hands or to stand six feet apart? Can you imagine them not putting up any resistance to covering their faces in public?

The government harassment they faced was nothing compared to what we face. But then they were the beneficiaries of a civilization in which the concepts of the sacredness of each person and of constitutional individual liberty from tyranny were born, a civilization that had wiped out slavery. (The Founders were hypocritical in allowing it to exist in America.)

The population at that time was not subject to the arts of modern propaganda or to decades of shame-inducing critiques of their history, customs, family structure and religious beliefs or surrendered themselves to materialistic consumerism. They had not already been mentally and spiritually brought to their knees.

You are all beautiful, Mary,
and the original stain [spot] (of sin) is not in you.
You are the glory of Jerusalem,
you are the joy of Israel,
you give honour to our people.
You are an advocate of sinners.
O Mary,
Virgin most intelligent,
Mother most merciful.
Pray for us,
Plead for us,
To the Lord Jesus Christ.

I PREVIOUSLY posted about the speech of Dr. Igor Shepherd, a physician who worked for the Wyoming Health Department and has reportedly been fired for his warnings about the COVID vaccine and the Great Reset. At the time, I did not realize he was a KGB defector.

Here is his website. It has some good information on this genetically modified vaccine and a video of his controversial speech, but I have concerns about Shepherd, about who he is and what his goals are. Shepherd seems to place a lot of blame on China, but does not appear to examine Soviet Russian involvement. (Communist Russia is not dead.) Caution is advised. Why was he working for a state government? Wouldn’t his past in the Soviet government preclude his being hired as a public health official in this country?

Dr. Shepherd’s speech is being covered even in The Daily Mail. Real whistleblowers are usually ignored by the mainstream press. Perhaps he is trustworthy, but I recommend some skepticism until more is known.

The Immaculate Conception, Fillippo Parodi; 1660s

Thou art all fair, O Mary, and stain of original sin is not found in thee.
Thy vestiture is white as snow; and thy face is as the sun.
Thou art the glory of Jerusalem; thou art the joy of Israel; thou art the honor of our people.
Blessed art thou, O Virgin Mary, by the Lord, the Most High God, above all women upon the earth.
Draw us, O Immaculate Virgin: we will run after thee in the odor of thy ointments.

(From the First Vespers of the Vigil for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception)

DEAR readers,

In more than ten years, I have never made an urgent and desperate appeal to readers of this blog. But I am making one now. I am on my knees.

What do I ask?

I urgently ask you to prepare for the best Christmas you have ever had in your life.

Please make this the greatest and most wonderful Christmas. Please do this out of love for your country, out of love for Christmas itself.

The best Christmas is not necessarily the most outwardly festive Christmas.

It may not have the most guests, the most presents, the most decorations, the most delicious things. It may not be the best-funded Christmas. The Nativity is a scene of abject poverty, not wealth. The best Christmas might be filled with heavy crosses or dozens of small crosses. Do you think the shepherds had it easy?  Do you think when they saw the angel their lives were a bed of roses? Do you think they celebrated with their families with roast beef and chocolate? I’m sure their families thought they were nuts! The best Christmas may include worry, insecurity, disappointment, anger, irritation — the whole grab bag of black emotions.

Please bear those crosses and overcome your worst.

Please fill your heart with wonder. Let these miseries transform you. They are your Christmas. Read More »

THE BRITISH government will start vaccinating for COVID next week and has promised £120,000 compensation for those severely injured by the vaccine.

It thereby has admitted people will be severely injured.

For those with lifelong complications, £120,000 is obviously a small sum.

Pharmaceutical companies will be immune from all liability:

Pfizer and AstraZeneca – the pharmaceutical commercial partner behind the Oxford vaccine – have both been granted protection from future product liability claims related to their Covid-19 vaccines. It means patients cannot sue for damages.

Speaking to Reuters about the agreement in July, Ruud Dobber, a member of Astra’s senior executive team, said: “This is a unique situation where we as a company simply cannot take the risk if in … four years the vaccine is showing side effects.

Unlike other vaccines, the COVID shot delivers DNA material and is arguably a form of genetic modification.

Conventional vaccines usually contain inactivated disease-causing organisms or proteins made by the pathogen (antigens), which work by mimicking the infectious agent. They stimulate the body’s immune response, so it is primed to respond more rapidly and effectively if exposed to the infectious agent in the future.

RNA vaccines use a different approach that takes advantage of the process that cells use to make proteins: cells use DNA as the template to make messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, which are then translated to build proteins. An RNA vaccine consists of an mRNA strand that codes for a disease-specific antigen. Once the mRNA strand in the vaccine is inside the body’s cells, the cells use the genetic information to produce the antigen. This antigen is then displayed on the cell surface, where it is recognised by the immune system. (source)

It is also not guaranteed to give immunity to what is known as COVID. Despite all this, many thousands of people who are unaware of the risks will go ahead with the shot.

Taxpayers, not the manufacturers of the product will be liable for damages. As one commenter said:

[This is the] equivalent of a Boeing jet crashing and then making the passengers liable.

QUESTIONABLE assertions about COVID as a bioweapon are made in this video. I’m posting it for its interesting discussion of the marketing of the vaccine.

Look at how many lines are on that ¢ovid “immunization” card — four — four stinking shots that they are planning (and only God knows how many else).

In the religion of Covidianity™, it really is like a “baptism” certificate … however, unlike other religions, this one requires its “baptism” to be repeated over and over.
