It is unbelievable that you listen to the things coming from the Australian government talking about two deaths due to COVID, one was 90, and the other 80, who were not vaccinated. They are saying that 25% of the people over 70 are not vaccinated and that is unacceptable.

They have used this to impose a lockdown where you are never allowed to leave your home for beyond 5 km regardless of the excuse – you will be thrown in jail. They have increased the fine to $500 for ANYONE who does not have a mask on – vaccinated or not proving vaccinations do not work.

The police have the power to shut down any business they demine in their sole discretion is not complying. They have turned Sydney into a concentration camp telling people that the sooner they get vaccinated the sooner their freedom will be restored. They are telling people to rat out any neighbor precisely the same tactics as the Stasi of East Germany.

The long-term implications of these measures are to break society completely for once you turn neighbor against neighbor, there is no putting civilization back together again.

MARCHING ORDERS have gone out around the world to turn society inside out and at each other’s throats. Listen to this announcement. If you cannot work, call the government and you will be given GUARANTEED BASIC INCOME. They will call anyone who points these things out which are PRECISELY the recommendations from the WEF is just coincidence and thus a conspiracy theory.

When the computer highlighted August to October as a Dark Period, I really hate to see this unfold. Civilization is formed when it is the benefit of everyone coming together. Civilizations collapse when they become divided which is precisely what those in governments around the world are doing to retain power. History warns, that they will fail but in the process, perhaps now you can see how Socrates was also forecasting that nations will divide usually along the same lines that previous conflicts took place.

Despite all the evidence and studies, including the first statement of Fauci, masks do not work and have been “useless”  even back in 1918, Pelosi has ordered what has become her private police force nationwide, to arrest anyone without a mask entering the Capitol. Reasoning and science NEVER matter anymore. It is the narrative that matters – in other words – tyranny. This is proving that there really is no point to getting vaccinated. It has not produced immunity except for politicians, Gates, and Big Pharm.

This entire  Covidscam is indeed collapsing in front of the world to see, but the press is still arguing the glass is half-full. These mask mandates and lockdowns are coming back because yet health authorities are not explaining it truthfully. The Covid vaccines do not offer effective protection certainly against the “new variants.”  What is the point of a Covid Passport when the vaccine does not protect and the vaccinated have to wear masks?  Instead, they are blaming the UNVACCINATED for giving the VACCINATED Coivid? They are getting lost in their own fatal logic.

In England, the government has conceded that “Fully vaccinated people are 65% more likely to be hospitalised & 1540% more likely to die due to Covid-19 than people who are unvaccinated according to latest Public Health England data”

The White House would never credit Donald Trump with the vaccine rollout unless there was something negative about the vaccine that is going to hit the newswires; that is a no-brainer.

That baseline is why CTH said two months ago to watch for the moment when the White House credits Trump with the vaccine, because that’s the moment when: (1) the vaccine was going to be identified as dangerous; and/or (2) reports would show the vaccine did not work.

Today the White House credited President Trump with the vaccine:

….And right on cue, the late-evening reporting indicates that tomorrow the CDC will announce the vaccine doesn’t work (against the Delta variant).   Hence, the need for masks, social distancing and/or possibly lockdowns 2.0.   Reminder, when the Intelligence Branch needs to get the public relations engaged, they use the New York Times.

[New York Times] – […] New research showed that vaccinated people infected with the Delta variant carry tremendous amounts of the virus in the nose and throat, she said in an email responding to questions from The New York Times.

The finding contradicts what scientists had observed in vaccinated people infected with previous versions of the virus, who mostly seemed incapable of infecting others.

That conclusion dealt Americans a heavy blow: People with so-called breakthrough infections — cases that occur despite full vaccination — of the Delta variant may be just as contagious as unvaccinated people, even if they have no symptoms. (link)

Bottom line of this narrative shift… vaccinations don’t work. Everything goes back to square one. Blame Trump, not us.

There is also data showing that COVID hospitalizations offer no distinction between vaccinated and unvaccinated; and in the example of LA county, the percentage of  vaccinated people hospitalized with COVID is identical to the percentage of vaccinated people in the general population.  [70% of population vaccinated, 70% of COVID hospitalization patients are vaccinated.]  The vaccine offers no benefit from the standing of hospitalization… or so it appears.

In San Francisco, 77% of the population is vaccinated and 83% of the COVID hospitalizations at University of California SF Hospital are previously vaccinated [link].   Again, highlighting the vaccine offers no benefit from the standpoint of hospitalization.

Additionally, there’s data from a recent Pfizer study [Pre-Release pdf Here] where 44,000 patients were studied.  22,000 were given the vaccine, and 22,000 received the placebo.  The results amid both groups was almost identical.

Two COVID deaths in 22,000 for non-vaxxed (death rate of .0009%), and one COVID death out of 22,000 for the vaccinated group (death rate .00009%).   In essence, COVID is not that dangerous and has a very high survival rate depending on co-morbidities or pre-existing medical issues.

So, what does all this jumbled mess really add up to?

If we can predict pretty accurately, based entirely on political ideology and a review of the calendar, what will happen around the COVID mitigation narrative; which we have been doing for over a year; then that means the politics of COVID is what’s driving the actions of those who are using COVID.  Politics is driving the narrative.

Here’s a high level overview of what it appears to be…

COVID is essentially a bad flu virus that targets the respiratory system, hence SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome).  It is dangerous if you have pre-existing conditions, but not more dangerous than the regular flu virus for people with those same pre-existing conditions.

We have flu shots every year, but we don’t mandate them; and we don’t shut down businesses to avoid the flu; and we don’t close society and/or shut down commerce; and we don’t destroy schools and education and force people to wear masks to avoid the flu virus.  However, in order to weaponize COVID for political benefits, to include mail-in ballot fraud and rebuilding society, a ruse of fear must be maintained.

The fear of COVID is that ruse.

Break the world and “Remould Near to the Heart’s Desire” is the earlier equivalent of “Build Back Better”…

Earlier today, the installed occupant of the White House announced that all federal workers will be required to undergo vaccinations against COVID-19 or subject themselves to weekly tests to prove their health status.  Going a step further, the administration announced all private contractors for the federal government will be held to the same standard as federal employees. [Video Link]

“Every federal government employee will be asked to attest to their vaccination status.  Anyone who does not attest, or is not vaccinated, will be required to mask no matter where they work, test one or two times a week to see if they have acquired COVID, socially distance, and generally will not be allowed to travel for work.

Likewise, today, I am directing my administration to take steps to apply similar standards to all federal contractors. If you want to do business with the federal government get your workers vaccinated.”

Joe Biden was visibly unsettled -straining to keep his focus in place- as he read from the carefully prepared script on the teleprompter.  During the questioning following the prepared comments Biden said, “If in fact you are unvaccinated, you present a problem to yourself, to your family and to those with whom you work”.  These comments highlight his intent to apply as much federal pressure as possible to force vaccinations.

When asked about why not just federally mandate forced vaccinations of Americans, Joe Biden said the DOJ was still looking into the legality of whether or not that is possible.  When asked about the federal government requiring proof of vaccination, Biden said he anticipates more businesses requiring vaccinations, and proof of vaccination.

Another tell that forced and mandated federal vaccinations are likely, was Biden’s answer to when the federal government will no longer define the vaccine as under “temporary approval” or emergency use authorization.  Biden’s response indicated the federal mandate will follow that shift in definition, and he anticipates that change to happen in the “early fall” of this year.

When Biden left the podium, Fox News journalist Peter Doocy asked about Biden’s contradictory statements around mask mandates, noting the earlier comments by Biden that vaccinated individuals did not need to wear masks.  Biden became visibly angry – WATCH:

This is the dangerous inflection moment, when the White House is trying to sell a narrative filled with contradictions.  They are visibly becoming unstable because the fraudulent messaging -unsupported by actual science- is filled with double-speak, lies and hypocrisy.

When a Democrat is cornered on an actual policy outcome that is a complete lie from their claims during the policy introduction, things get ugly.  Democrats get violent.  Democrats trigger distractions in an effort to avoid the sunlight upon their fraud.

You can keep your doctor… until you can’t.  You can keep your plan…. until you can’t.  You don’t need a mask…. until you do.  If you take the vaccine you don’t need a mask… until you do.  The vaccinations are safe…. until they are not.

Tell the lie, get a different outcome…. distract and avoid.   Inside that need to distract – Democrats do dangerous things.

UPDATE: And here is the *big tell* we were warning about:

This now opens the door for the Democrats and media to say: (1) the vaccination is dangerous; and/or (2) the vaccination doesn’t work.

Watch how this develops now.

The White House putting credit for the vaccine on Trump would only precede information that is negative about the vaccine.

Wait for it….

In the interim, here’s the Full Speech and Presser:

They are not using armbands, yet; however, one school district in Galesburg, Illinois, is issuing color-coded identification to visibly label vaccinated and non-vaccinated school district employees.   This is how the process of stigmatization is begun; be aware of what is coming.

According to sources in Illinois School District 205 (Galesburg, IL), School Superintendent John Asplund sent the notification (screenshot below) to school staff members announcing a new staff ID badge policy. [Galesburg CUSD #205 LINK]

School staff now have the option to change from the customary white ID badge to a yellow ID badge to indicate that they have received the COVID-19 vaccine.  This policy is currently only limited to school staff and does not apply to students.  However, it can be anticipated the school may begin to visibly identify non-vaccinated students.

This is a slippery slope where peer pressure and stigmatization become a serious issue.  How long will this remain voluntary?  This creates a dynamic of virtue-signalling peer pressure on school staff to publicly display their private health information.   As noted by one of the affected recipients of the notification, “This policy will prompt a lot of bullying, ostracism, and cliquish behavior.”

Additionally, the passage in the email that states, “At this point in time, proof of vaccination does not give you any additional benefits…” is striking to me. The implication here is that employment or social compact benefits within the district may be designated or assigned -at a future date- based on vaccinated status.  If this was not an active part of the thought process within the administration, the notation about “additional benefits” would not be present.

The social issues in/around COVID-19 mitigation have been catastrophic for our educational system.  Creating a class system based on vaccination status is very troubling.  Keep an eye open for this type of activity surfacing in your area.

This is a troubling development.

Act or be acted upon…. push-back now or silence is the same as consent !

“Vaccination papers, citizen?”…
