COMMENT: I think fake news is global and it definitely appears to be some sort of international manipulation of society. Here in Germany, it might be worse than there across the pond. We have fake news over COVID, now hiding the vaccine injury crisis. The press has its agenda. I guess they are like the North Korean military. They get free food so they lie and oppress everyone else.

I don’t see this is going to ever change. You are right. We simply have to crash and burn for these people will never report the truth. It always comes down to them against us. You are the legend and you have paid the price for that title.

Best wishes, always.

PS Dubai may be the only place we can all get together again. Think about it!

As pointed out by Norman Fenton and Martin Neil, The LANCET appears to have lost its reputation for independence and joined the crowd over COVID and fake news. As they pointed out in this article, on May 6th, 2021 “The Lancet published a blatantly flawed study of the effectiveness of the Pfizer covid vaccine on the population of Israel, claiming it was 95% effective.” Then on May 17th, 2021, Fenton and Neil submitted a rapid response 250-word letter explaining why the study was flawed. The LANCET refused to even publish their letter to the editor.

I did not get vaccinated BECAUSE I have worked with governments around the world. I have been called into just about every crisis since 1985 BECAUSE I understand the game, which is all wordsmithing. Once the government began pushing the COVID vaccines and locked down the world, knowing how politics works, I decided to hunker down and refused to get vaccinated for ONE MAJOR REASON! Once the government crossed that line and became authoritarian using COVID, I knew that there would NEVER be any accountability whatsoever. Now that people have been seriously injured by these vaccines, the government will continue to call it a conspiracy theory for they will NEVER admit a mistake or that they were bribed.

I was NEVER anti-Vax. My children got all the normal vaccines. Once in a while, I would take the flu shot. I know someone who thought he was getting a flu shot and they gave him the COVID vaccine and he became seriously ill. A lawyer I know took the vaccine so he could travel, got the blood clots, and now cannot fly. Now as the elite fly to DAVOS, they want only pilots who were NOT vaccinated.

The major medical industry has failed society. My doctor retired and a new younger doctor took over his practice. He asked me if I was vaccinated. I responded resoundingly – NO! He responded GOOD!. I suggest if your doctor just follows the crowd and the government, get someone else.

Neil Oliver Interviews Dr. John Campbell About the “Breakdown of Trust” Toward the Medical Establishment Due to COVID-19 Vaccines


Posted originally on the CTH on January 16, 2023 | sundance

Another great albeit lengthy interview for consideration.  U.K. political pundit Neil Oliver interviews Dr. John Campbell amid a “knowing what you know now”.. type outlook and discussion over the current status of the COVID-19 vaccination protocol.

In the arc of his pandemic discussion and evaluation, Dr Campbell is now in facing considerable discomfort as he outlines the “lost trust” in the healthcare industry, as an outcome of manipulated science.  This has been a painful journey for John Campbell as he outlines in the interview.  Dr. Campbell himself took two doses of the mRNA vaccine, based on the professional advice of the industry.  However, as he states in the interview, he can no longer assert his belief in the science that led him to his original decision, and given what he knows now, he would not have taken the vaccine.  WATCH (prompted):

Neil Oliver Outlines the Forbidden Discussion About COVID Vaccine Induced Injuries and Death


Posted originally on the CTH on January 15, 2023 | sundance

U.K political commentator Neil Oliver uses his weekly monologue on GB News to note the recently forbidden conversation about vaccine injuries and potential deaths therein.

Curiously, though the monologue was broadcast, and captured by a viewer, this specific outline (and transcript) is absent from the official site record. Regardless, as noted by Mr. Oliver, until recently it was imperative that questions about vaccine status were demanded in order to participate in society. However, now that attention is being cast upon various seemingly healthy young people collapsing from heart ailments, suddenly inquiring about their vaccinated status is verboten.

Asking questions is now a social taboo, even as increasingly obvious issues begin to surface.  WATCH:

UPDATE – So, You Did Not Take the COVID-19 Shot, Why Not?


Posted originally on the CTH on January 14, 2023 | Sundance 

I am bumping this post to the top of the page and updating because, well, I’ll explain.

First, thank you.  Sincere and genuine thankfulness for your fellowship.  Visitors to this site continue to prove that our nation is created by, and an assembly of, the most decent, honest, generous and kind-hearted people in the world.  The responses to the question of ‘why didn’t you take the covid-19 shot?’ are nothing short of remarkable.

In the bigger picture if you want to fill up your faith cup and recognize the scale of commonsense assembly in our nation, take the time to read through the 2,000+ responses.

The feedback you are providing is exceptional and trust me when I say that far more people are reading these responses than you could fathom.  Additionally, the responses have reasserted my belief in the scale of our national assembly.  There are far more of us, ordinary, hardworking, commonsense, pragmatic and smart people, than the self-described intellectual elites would ever admit.

In addition to the responses below, there have been hundreds of emails answering the question, which suddenly made me realize that no one has really ever asked this question before in a format that provides ordinary people with the ability to respond.

There is also a yearning to talk about this issue, publicly and with deliberation; massively so.  And I am hopeful (insert grin here) this small corner of the internet is about to push this conversation into a much larger national forum.  Our nation needs a big conversation about this.

If I had to pick a single phrase to encapsulate the myriad of phenomenal responses to the question I would use the phrase, “intellectual discernment”; which again provides buckets of faith that a large number of people are wide awake, albeit part of what I call a potato revolution growing safely underground.

Also, unbeknownst to front page readers I am stunned at the people in/around operation warp-speed, these are people in government directly attached to the issue, who have contacted CTH on the backside, stepped forward and said they also didn’t take the shot because, well, despite their belief in the purpose and principle at the time, things were just not adding up and ultimately seemed sketchy.   They couldn’t talk (so they felt), couldn’t even hint at their concern; but when it came to making the personal decision, they waited.

I also owe it to you to answer the question of my own status, which is a big heck no – I did not take the jab.

Why?  Because in the preceding years of all my research into the rapidly exposed corruption of our government, there was just no way in hell I was going to trust that same system.  A system that literally was working outside the constitution and legal framework of our nation to destroy a sitting U.S. President is going to suddenly care about my health.  Nope, it did not align.  I also looked at the datapoint of the U.S.S. Comfort delivered to New York City under the grandest of media proclamations about impending medical doom, only to see the ship sit empty and completely unused despite the scale of the narrative that surround its purpose.

Lastly, and more obliquely, the datapoint of one of my heroes Franklin Graham assembling a NY field hospital to serve over 20,000 patients; another massive endeavor that sat empty and without use.  However, prior to the hindsight, it was the in-real-time fight from officials in/around the area who tried to block Samaritans Purse from setting up the facility.  If the SARS-CoV-2 issue was as great a threat as declared, then why would anyone fight to keep out a field hospital that could provide such relief.   It just didn’t make sense.

Those issues, and others, formed the baseline of my inability to reconcile the key issue of ‘trust’ needed to believe in the vaccine.  Additionally, I am healthy and not within any of the risk factors.  However, I also feel strongly that each health decision is unique to the individual person, and everyone was making the best decisions for them based on the available information at the time; so, I carry no judgement for those who made a different choice.

As noted, I am bumping this to the top of the site so that our conversation can continue.  Normally I would start a new thread, but this one is different.  I don’t want to break the continuity and I want to provide everyone the ability to see they are not alone.

Love to all,

Sundance

Reader feedback request.

I was quite shocked to review a poll I took on the Twitter last month showing that 85% of the people who follow the CTH Twitter account [TLR2] did not take the COVID-19 jab.

Without any judgement implied or inferred I am genuinely curious, why not?

With the situation clearly in hindsight, and/or given all the pressure that may have been applied to each individual situation, I am genuinely curious what was it that made you choose not to take the COVID-19 vaccination.

If you are comfortable, and please understand that no pressure is intended in any way whatsoever, could you share why you didn’t take the vaccine and how do you feel about that decision in hindsight?

If you did take the vaccination, there is also no judgement in this question.  As I said back in 2021 each individual is unique, each situation is unique, and each person has to make the best decision about what is in their individual best interests.  So please, don’t let this issue divide our conversation.

I am genuinely curious as to the reason so many people would withstand the public and perhaps peer pressure to follow the ‘vaccination’ advice.  Also, how has that decision impacted your life?  Did you lose friends and family over your personal health decision?  Did those relationships heal over time?  Or anything else you might find pertinent to the general question.

The COVID-19 Debate and Conversation We Were Denied


Posted originally on the CTH on January 14, 2023 | Sundance 

This article is intended toward a specific set of interests.

♦First, the larger media apparatus needs to comprehend the scale of the current situation.

Second, the medical establishment need to come to grips with the situation they pretend doesn’t exist.

Lastly, to the alternative media forums writ large, with my challenge to you to open up every format you control, ask simple questions and then just shut up and listen to readers and viewers.

I can well imagine a Rush Limbaugh show (the man had instincts) that would last for a week where he just lets listeners explain why they did not take the COVID-19 vaccine.  Tens of millions of unregulated and unthrottled voices tuned-in to listen and nod their affirming heads.  God, we miss Rush.

What is overwhelmingly clear right now [SEE BACKGROUND] is the need to have an honest national conversation about the entire dynamic that surrounded the COVID-19 vaccination push. Indeed, if anyone in the media, government or medical system are wondering why only one-in-five people are taking the current COVID-19 booster shots, then just READ HERE.

One aspect, now brutally obvious and anger inducing, is connected to the Twitter File revelations about how various government interests and the medical establishment were intentionally censoring anyone who questioned the early vaccine narrative.

There was never an open debate, a public conversation about the vaccine itself, where the public and counter voices in the medical field could discuss the various vaccine protocols.

Instead, there was the opposite; an intentional effort to shut down any conversation, shut out any person in opposition to the narrative, and destroy any professional voice who might raise concerns.

Throughout 2020, 2021 and deep into 2022, all of the major social media and public forum discussion platforms followed the same censorship, moderation and control protocol.  With great deliberateness I am saying that issue is percolating in the background right now – like a powder keg in search of a spark.

I suspect the people in power do not want this conversation even today because there is a deep tremoring sense recognized underneath the issue, and no one in power wants to be anywhere near the eruption if the conversation were suddenly to break out.

At the end of that eruption; and with a new and fulsome recognition about the scale of our assembly; I sense we would see a demand for a deep reckoning; and that is exactly what those in power are desperate to avoid.

I would like to conclude the foreboding with an optimistic note. I believe if you were to look at what we call the “western nations”, you would discover that the uptake rate for the vaccine itself amid the U.S. population is the lowest of the entire group.   There’s a reason for that.

The same strain of distrust in government that was embedded in the DNA of every American from our nation’s founding, is likely to be the inherent immunity that saves us.
