Moments ago, while delivering a speech at a former coal-fired power plant in Somerset, Massachusetts, Joe Biden stated he has cancer. I’m not sure if that is what he meant to say, but here is the video and transcript:
…”My mother drove us, and rather than us be able to walk, and guess what? The first frost, you know what was happening, you had to put on your windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick off the window. That’s why I, and so damned many other people I grew up with, have cancer; and why can’t for the longest time, Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation.”…

General Manager at Voice for Science and Solidarity | The biggest challenge in vaccinology: Countering immune evasion

Weak immune activation by glycosylated ASLI- or ASLD-enabling viruses (that occurs, for example, during asymptomatic-mild natural infection) elicits low concentrations of non-neutralizing, short-lived IEABs. Upon subsequent re-exposure to a homologous or antigenically shifted[1] viral lineage these Abs are highly likely to enhance viral uptake by susceptible host cells and contribute to innate immune training of pre-primed NK cells. However, it’s important to note that individuals who contract asymptomatic/ mild infection provoked by a glycosylated ASLVI- or ASLVD-enabling virus can still experience disease. This can occur when re-exposure to the homologous or antigenically shifted viral lineage occurs at a point in time where the short-lived non-neutralizing IEABs are at their very highest level. As these Abs are immature (i.e., non-functional), their titers decline rapidly—they are no longer even detectable after 8 weeks. ADED after asymptomatic/ mild infection is therefore rare and the incidence rate thereof can only significantly increase in case of high viral infectiousness (which will substantially increase the likelihood for re-infection within just a few weeks after the previous asymptomatic-mild infection). In the case of SC-2, high viral infectiousness results from natural selection and dominant propagation of ‘more infectious’ SC-2 variants which is a direct consequence of mass vaccination (as previously explained).
On the other hand, immune priming by glycosylated ASLI- or ASLD-enabling viruses (for example, in people who contract the disease) induces virus-neutralizing Abs as well as non-neutralizing Abs (comprising IEABs). Upon subsequent re-exposure to an antigenically shifted viral lineage binding of the IEABs to a variant-nonspecific site[2] on the virus enhances viral uptake by susceptible host cells. This partially sidelines pre-primed NK cells and calls on cytotoxic CD8+ T cells to clear virus-infected cells, leading to more pronounced symptoms of disease. As the enhanced viral uptake does not usually lead to full drainage of the viral clearance capacity of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, productive infection will not only enhance training of pre-primed NK cells but also enables priming of ‘new’ Abs directed at the surface protein that is responsible for initiation of infection by the antigenically shifted viral lineage.
This can explain why individuals who contracted disease induced by a glycosylated ASLVI- or ASLVD-enabling virus can still contract disease again (but rarely severe) up to several months after their recovery. This typically occurs when re-infection is caused by an antigenically shifted viral lineage and at a point in time where the naturally induced Ag-specific Abs are still fairly high. The phenomenon can also occur in the case vaccine-induced Abs are confronted with an antigenically shifted viral lineage before they have achieved full-fledged neutralizing capacity. Individuals who got partially vaccinated (e.g., only one shot) with a non-replicating Ab-based viral vaccine and become exposed to an antigenically shifted viral lineage shortly thereafter are prone to this risk.
Finally, strong immune priming by non-replicating Ab-based vaccines elicits high concentrations of both potentially neutralizing and non-neutralizing IEABs. Upon subsequent re-exposure to an antigenically shifted viral lineage the IEABs are highly likely to enhance viral uptake by susceptible host cells in a way that sidelines pre-primed NK cells and increasingly drains the flow capacity of viral clearance by cytotoxic CD8+ T cells (instead of training NK cells). This is likely to not only cause more severe disease and delay recovery, but also to prevent immune priming against the antigenically shifted epitopes (immunologically outcompeted by ‘old’ epitopes that benefit from ‘antigenic sin’). Instead, natural re-exposure to either a homologous or antigenically shifted viral lineage will strongly boost the IEABs for lack of sufficient flow capacity of viral clearance by cytotoxic CD8+ T cells (as a result of deficient NK cell training). In case of re-infection with the same viral variant, this is likely to increase the severity of the disease (due to ADEI) whereas re-exposure to an antigenically shifted viral lineage that is resistant to the potentially infection-neutralizing vaccine-induced Abs (e.g., the more virulent Omicron BA.4 or BA.5 lineages in case of SC-2) will enable boosted IEABs to protect against severe disease (via inhibition of productive trans infection in the LRT).
In the meantime, viral lineages that are resistant to the potentially virulence-neutralizing vaccinal Abs are being selected. Once this has happened, the IEABs will facilitate ADEI-mediated ADED in vaccinees.
Conclusion in regard of SC-2 and Covid-19:
Whereas the unvaccinated are experiencing increasing and durable protection from C-19 disease caused by new variants through i) trained innate immunity (which is not susceptible to immune escape!) and ii) priming of new neutralizing Abs against those variants (as ‘antigenic sin’ is mitigated by trained innate immunity!), vaccinees now need to exclusively rely on boosting (as ‘antigenic sin’ is not mitigated by training of pre-primed NK cells) of IEABs (which are prone to immune escape!) to ensure a fragile and provisional protection from severe disease.
Whereas immune training is a blessing, immune drainage is a scourge! That’s why only natural immunity can eventually fully protect you during a pandemic. That’s why Africa will win!

The U.S. State Department just issued a warning to all Americans in Ukraine to get out now. Russia says any moves against Crimea will be disastrous for the West. Starbucks closes 16 stores because due to liberal-run city problems. Justin Trudeau just hit a new low. And DHS is caught by ACLU buying millions of dollars in cell phone tracking software to track Americans.
The supply chain crisis is an ongoing disaster that has greatly contributed to inflation. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has been touting the idea of “friend-shoring” for over a year. Not to be confused with onshoring or nearshoring, friend-shoring will somewhat limit the supply chain to allied nations. Why on Earth would we want to limit the supply chain to any extent at this time?
Yellen stated that Russia and COVID, the main political scapegoats for anything that goes wrong, are to blame for redrawing “the contours of global supply chains and trade.” Let us be reminded that China is America’s top trading partner, albeit deemed “unfriendly.” Russia, the motherland of energy, also falls on this unfriendly list that is likely to align with what will later become the modern-day axis powers.

“We do not want a retreat from the world, causing us to forgo the benefits it brings to the American people and the markets for businesses and exports,” Yellen said while speaking in South Korea. “In doing so we can help to insulate both American and Korean households from the price increases and disruptions caused by geopolitical and economic risks … in that sense, we can continue to strengthen the international system we’ve all benefited from, while also protecting ourselves from the fragilities in global trade networks.”
Her comments come within the same week that President Biden appealed to Saudi Arabia for help — a country that obviously aligns with US morals. In April, Yellen stated that friend-shoring could strengthen sanctions as the “friendly nations” would act as a united front in ostracizing one economy. Her comments about Russia quickly turned to anti-China sentiments. Yellen stated:
“China has recently affirmed a special relationship with Russia. I fervently hope that China will make something positive of this relationship and help to end this war. Going forward, it will be increasingly difficult to separate economic issues from broader considerations of national interest, including national security. The world’s attitude towards China and its willingness to embrace further economic integration may well be affected by China’s reaction to our call for resolute action on Russia.”
Similar to how those responsible for the failed euro believed it would prevent all European wars, the idea of friend-shoring relies on the belief that trade will become seamless among aligned nations. “Favoring the friend-shoring of supply chains to a large number of trusted countries, so we can continue to securely extend market access, will lower the risks to our economy as well as to our trusted trade partners,” Yellen stated in April before calling on those same nations to implement a global tax.
Yes, this will cause foreign investment to look outside of the US and this Western bloc of trade. What happens when the crucial supplies needed are outside of these territories? Everyone is currently begging “unfriendly nations” for oil and buying it at a premium from neutral nations who sell it to the West at a higher price. Bad business all around. The West is basically telling Russia and China that they are being cast aside from trade with the misconception of having the upper hand.
A new study by the University of Colorado Boulder published on “One Earth”cites water scarcity as the top threat to food security in the next 20 years. “Multiple events occurring at the same time compound the problem,” the study noted, citing droughts, floods, heat waves, pest outbreaks, diseases, and financial and political conflicts. Over 50% of those experiencing food insecurity live in conflict regions, and increasing political instability and civil unrest will cause this figure to rise. Various agencies such as the World Bank and United Nations have cited that food insecurity reached record levels in 2021 and has increased in 2022. However, one aspect that is not often discussed is water.
Humans can survive longer without food than water. Without water, there are no crops or cattle. Other studies point to increasing global demand for water as well. A 2019 study, “Reassessing the projections of the World Water Development Report,” found that water demand increased 600% over the past century.
“Global water demand for all uses, presently about 4,600 km3 per year, will increase by 20% to 30% by 2050, up to 5,500 to 6,000 km3 per year. Global water demand for agriculture will increase by 60% by 2025. By 2050 the global population will increase to between 9.4 to 10.2 billion people, an increment of 22% to 32%.”
Agricultural needs represent 70% of water demand. The poorest nations often have less access to clean water, and these are the same areas where the population is expected to rise. The aforementioned study also states that food demand will increase by 60% by 2050.
Our model projected entering another “grand minimum,” which overtook the sun beginning in 2020 and will last through the 2050s. This will result in diminished magnetism, infrequent sunspot production, and less ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching Earth. We are facing a global cooling period on the planet that may span 31 to 43 years. It is interesting that these studies are pointing to 2050 as the point where water will become extremely scarce as it aligns with our models’ projection for the weather as we will then enter a new sunspot cycle.
Yes, the government is tracking your movements. You do not need to have a COVID pass installed on your phone nor do you need to be a criminal. The location data industry has become a $12 billion market that is actively growing.
It recently came to light that the Trump Administration began tracking mobile data on a grand scale. The Department of Homeland Security targeted information on at least 336,000 data points across the country. Biden continued tracking American’s locations and provided the Customs and Border Protection with a $20,000 contract last September.
One company, Venntel, said that it has access to 250 million phones and devices. There are currently no restrictions on this invasion of privacy, and the government may legally track you and your family. This information has been abused by various agencies, such as one that tracked the location of people who visited abortion clinics. The US military even used the technology to identify Muslim populations.
“There are over 350 million mobile devices in the United States in use today, and that number is growing exponentially as more people purchase mobile devices every day. Therefore it is not uncommon to encounter individuals involved with illicit activity taking advantage of mobile technology to further their criminal goals,” a contract between CBP and Venntel said.
You can attempt to turn off your device’s location, but that is extremely difficult considering the number of apps we use on a daily basis. GPS? Tracked! Social media? Tracked! Various search engines? You bet!
I believe this violates the Fourth Amendment, which is intended to protect citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government.

The goal of gaining public acceptance for eating insects instead of meat is now part of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) effort. The larger climate change objective is to “transition” the global food supply away from cows, pigs and chickens, and toward a more sustainable lifestyle of eating insects and bugs. Farmers in North American and Europe are facing massive regulatory changes as part of the Build Back Better or Green New Deal initiatives.
In the U.S. Joe Biden has pledged his entire administration effort toward the goal of reducing U.S. carbon emissions and protecting the planet. Part of that initiative includes the need to change the diet of Americans away from traditional farm proteins, and toward sustainable alternatives via bugs and/or insects like cockroaches, crickets and grasshoppers.
A comprehensive marketing, branding and image campaign is underway to change the public perception toward an acceptance of sustainable algae and bugs as food sources. Public Broadcasting (PBS) is part of that imitative:
Several U.S. food manufacturers now include insects and bugs as part of their ingredient list. It would be worthwhile checking the labels on the latest snack foods to identify the percentages of worms and bugs that may be included in your favorite salted snack.
Additionally, a significant investment has taken place in Canada where they are now generating 9,000 metric tons of crickets to replace traditional protein sources (link). The public/private partnership in London, Ontario, is now shipping crickets for use by North American food manufacturers. There has been minimal public pushback against the effort and the government appears to be fast-tracking insects as food alternatives for global shortages of grain and meats.
In the United Kingdom, the government is now taking public feedback on the use of insects in the food supply. According to a recent public notification from the U.K. Food Standards Agency, they are working toward an acceptable standard across the industry for insects and worms in the food supply.
From the notification: “A consultation on a proposed legislated transitional period under the novel food regulations for edible insects in England, Scotland and Wales. The proposal has been developed with input from Food Standards Scotland (FSS).” (more)
As farmland across Europe and North America increasingly comes under enhanced “climate change” regulation from government, we can expect the speed of food supply transitioning to insects to increase exponentially.
There are a lot of government resources [EXAMPLE HERE] now dedicated to changing public perception. The western government alliance wants people to start eating bugs, and, more importantly, want people comfortable doing so as the energy and climate regulations increasingly limit food options.
With PBS now joining the chorus of insect food promotion; and with the increasingly discussed pending global food shortage now looming; it would appear that western leaders are following the advice from the World Economic Forum and preparing their citizens in Europe and North America to accept insects as food.
As noted earlier, you may already be eating the insects and just not be aware of it. Apparently, people who are allergic to shellfish should be more concerned and diligent about the ingredients of the food they consume, as insects may generate the same allergic reaction.

This guy popped up after the trip to Saudi Arabia and has been spouting hypocrisies ever since. In this first segment, White House senior energy adviser Amos Hochstein, in charge of U.S. energy security, says the administration cannot accept or approve any long-term oil and gas development that undermines the urgency of the crisis they are exploiting.
Instead, Hochstein says U.S. energy producers should invest in oil and gas development that turns an immediate profit. [Pro-tip, that doesn’t exist.] Keeping the oil and gas industry in a perpetual state of shortage, overcapacity and expense, allows the “transition” to windmills and solar to remain urgent. Put another way, the energy crisis is part of the plan. WATCH:
Mr. Hochstein also appeared on Fox News this afternoon to claim that coal is the worst of the worst and must never be used again. When asked about Germany going back to coal to replace Russian gas, Hochstein says that’s a terrible plan. However, Hochstein was never confronted over the stupid part of his anxiety.
Germany is being forced to use coal because Biden/Hochstein have triggered energy sanctions against Russia that stopped the flow of natural gas. Germany is being forced to use the horrible coal because Biden/Hochstein is forcing them to.
In order for ideologues to retain their insane ideological positions, they must pretend not to know things. Unfortunately, we do not have a media that is capable of calling them out on the hypocrisy and challenging the weakness of their positions. Thus, the great pretending continues….

Kentucky republican House member Thomas Massie had some interesting statistics in hand when questioning Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg about the administration goal to make electric vehicles 50% of all cars, vans and trucks sold by 2030.
Essentially, it is a cart and horse scenario. An electric vehicle requires five times as much energy production as the standard home air conditioning cost. The U.S. electricity grid cannot support an increase in household energy use that is equivalent of adding five times as many houses using air conditioning. Math is math. WATCH:
.
Comrades, the likely federal government solution is simple. Comrade citizens can have one electric car (mandated by regulatory compliance), or they can have their home air conditioned, but they cannot have both. [Assuming social credit scores are high enough]
See how easy that is?
