THE Stoics of ancient times believed that in many cases it was possible to control pain by thought alone. To achieve this, they stoically, as it were, accepted painful or unpleasant sensations, viewing them with studied indifference. As such, the pain often went away of its own accord, although to be fair they did use a painkiller known as theriac, which contained opium.
… There is no comparison between the horrors of the Holodomor and the postmodern pandemic we have lived through. But there is a comparison to be made in the ignominious role played, or not played, by the media.
After the release of his emails under Freedom of Information (FOI) requests, Dr Anthony Fauci and his friends must vie for first place as the greatest conspirators of the Covid era. He is equally in the running to be the greatest source of disinformation on just about every aspect of the pandemic, ably assisted by ‘experts’ and public health authorities around the world.
French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview published Sunday that Europe must not be a “follower” of either the US or China on Taiwan, saying that the bloc risks entanglement in “crises that aren’t ours”.
His comments risk riling Washington and highlight divisions in the European Union over how to approach China, as the US steps up confrontation with its closest rival and Beijing draws closer to Russia in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine.
Weasels!
The arrest of Querdenken leader Michael Ballweg raises some troubling questions.
For much of the pandemic, Michael Ballweg was a thorn in the side of Germany’s pro-lockdown establishment. Now, the 48-year-old businessman has become one of Germany’s most famous prisoners.
The United Kingdom’s official statistician has released data which indicates young women experienced three and a half times more risk of dying from heart-related issues in the three months following taking a single dose of the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine.
The number of Americans hurt by guns during surged during the Covid pandemic, with experts pointing to antisocial behavior fueled by lockdowns and anti-police demonstrations.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that the number of gun-related homicides in America increased 35 percent in 2020 and 2021 when compared to previous years. Overall, gun injuries jumped 40 percent.
Government researchers also found that gun-related ER visits jumped from 50,000 in 2019 to 72,000 in 2020.
Governments used “fifth-generational warfare” techniques to modify public perception during the COVID-19 pandemic, while the reporting of media outlets shifted into propaganda, two experts testified at the National Citizen’s Inquiry (NCI).
“Over the last three years, Western governments, non-governmental organizations, as well as media, pharmaceutical, and financial corporations deployed a massive, globally harmonized psychological and propaganda operation,” said Dr. Robert Malone.
JUST IN: Video emerges of French MP that developed heart problems after COVID vax and required surgery to live..
“What I did NOT KNOW was that Mr Macron was not vaccinated. I did not know that most of the members of the government were not.”

The UK is in a rage at Boris Johnson yet Gavin Newsom walks free
Some choppy waters this week for former UK prime minister Boris Johnson, who more than ever looks like a ghost haunting a library. Johnson was recently hauled before a committee of Parliament where he was grilled about allegations that he’d attended parties with other government employees during Covid lockdown. The spectacle was so brutal that at one point the usually unflappable Boris lost his temper: “This is complete nonsense!” he barked.
‘MAYDAY! Mayday!’ is something no airline pilot wants to say, and no passenger wants to hear, but this month Virgin Australia, Emirates, United and Southwest airlines have all turned back aircraft or made emergency landings because air crew have suffered serious health incidents. A British Airways pilot died of a heart attack just before he was due to fly a plane from Egypt.
Increasing demand for Covid vaccine injury payments has seen the number of staff processing claims increase 20-fold, figures show.
The Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS) has scaled up operations and boosted its administrative staff from four to 80 to handle the claims.
A project is also under way to digitalise the application process to make it simpler and quicker for claimants.
But MPs, campaigners and families have called for the process to be reformed, arguing that the payment cap of £120,000 is too low, too slow and bureaucratic, and the eligibility criteria is too strict.
Best-selling author and commentator Jordan Peterson ripped into the global response to COVID-19 in a pre-recorded address to the National Citizen’s Inquiry (NCI), arguing that “untold economic damage” was done by copying the pandemic strategy of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
“In our panicked idiocy, we copied one of the most authoritarian societies that have ever existed on the planet, and that would be the Chinese Communist Party,” Peterson said.
Anti-lockdown protesters who were convicted of violating Saskatchewan’s limits on outdoor gatherings are appealing their convictions at the Court of King’s Bench. They are also challenging the constitutionality of gathering limits in a Court of Appeal.
USE of the gene-based Covid vaccines should be halted pending a detailed investigation of where the jab’s products travel in the body and for how long they last, a multinational team of scientists has declared in a report out this month.
The appeal comes from a group of ten scientists, including the top American cardiologist Dr Peter McCullough, who have reviewed evidence of the mechanisms through which they believe millions may have been harmed.
Some scientists warn that the studies are an ‘extinction-level risk’
If someone had asked you in winter 2019 your views on gain-of-function research, you would likely have given them a blank look. But since the Covid pandemic, and with the Wall Street Journal revealing in February that the US Department of Energy now thinks Covid-19 is likely to have come from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, gain-of-function research — often conducted to make viruses more infectious and more deadly — is a matter of enormous significance and should be at the forefront of a national conversation about the very real risks it poses.
