UPDATE: Prophecy and "....the tomb seething with worms that is the Bergoglian church" - Viganò

In yesterday's article titled Prophecy and "....the tomb seething with worms that is the Bergoglian church", I mentioned Global Warming/Climate Change.

There's been some new developments.

Trying to live up the the lie that is "Climate Change" by "Going Green" in energy production, governments around the world are in tremendous stress. The government of Sri Lanka seems to have collapsed, and now the prime ministers of Italy and Estonia have just resigned, joining Boris Johnson in the unemployment line. Pity we can't get ride of the Biden Regime so easily!

Another item concerned Covid and the testing for it. A friend told me he had acquired Covid. I wrote him back asking how he knows he has Covid, and he's now responded. He says he experienced classic Covid symptoms – which can come with other sorts of illness, of course – and his regularly-taken antigen test turned positive, then a subsequent PCR test he engaged confirmed it. 

He's rock-solid in believing this, and we are in Placebo/Nocebo territory. If one believes one will recover, he likely will; if one things he cannot (nocebo), he might not. And of course this works for the inbetween state of neither dying nor being healthy, but just being sick.

I don't try to argue. I tried early on, but that didn't work. Some folks have bought into "the narrative" about Covid, and there's no shifting them. There's no "Minority Report" with such folks. So be it.  

Though of course I could argue, if I thought it would do any good. Here are five items to know about if you want to argue against the Covid tests.

  1. First of all, whenever you are ill, either from toxins from any source: old-fashioned poisons, EMFs, malnutrition, or stress, kidney or gall stones, whatever, these cause cellular degeneration and produce a lot of exosomes, virus-sized genetic carrying items that clean up cell detritus and communicate one's health status to other parts of the body. All of these things in turn ring alarm bells in these tests: antigen, antibody, PCR, etc. (I have COPD, for example, and more or less chronic kidney stones: any Covid test would scream bloody murder if I was stupid enough to let myself be tested.)
  2. Now, you-all know what I think of the PCR. As for the antigen/antibody tests (closely related to each other but still not quite the same): "An antigen is a molecule that stimulates an immune response by activating white blood cells that fight disease. Antigens may be present on invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and transplanted organs, or on abnormal cells, such as cancer cells." Whew. Right there one has an entire HOST of possibilities to juggle. How do you remotely decide among all that to declare, as it were: "I'll take Door Number 3, Bob!" 
  3. So an antigen test is a diagnostic test testing for pathogen detection that registers the presence or absence of a particular antigen of an illness-causing pathogen. But what if you have never isolated, or purified, and then characterized, the pathogen in question? With Covid, they've published articles saying they've isolated it. Indeed, that looks good in the paper's title. But read the fine print in the Method section. I proofread a lot of scientific papers in sociology, and while they're generally pretty good, always the most tedious part is the Methods section. Yet it is the most significant section. If you read that section carefully, you'll occasionally find a pretty slipshod "method". A smallish sample might be involved. Restricted criteria. A lot of supposition in drawing conclusions can easily manifest itself. Even guesswork. All that can exist in "hard science" papers too, along with always a lot of Star Trek Next Generation-type "technobabble". See this mainstream news article from 2018 about the failure of scientific papersBut everyone wants to dwell on the Conclusion's section. Yet that is only as good as the Methods section proves itself to be. 
  4. For Covid, they used the cell-culture method invented 60 years ago to "characterize" a hodge-podge celluar-biotic mixture drawn – only in part, mind you – from a single middle-aged Wuhan citizen. We are talking about specific molecules here drawn from molecular soup, and the soupier it is, the easier to find the "specific" genetics! How can one test for anything in that context? The PCR itself "tests" for a sequence of DNA drawn from the cell-culture method used on that Wuhan fellow, and it does so by repeated cycles of magnification, and everyone knows the more cycles you run, the more positives you get! But again, how can you test for Covid genetic when you've never isolated and purified Covid? There's no way to know that the bit of material you have is either unique or even originated in the virus you're testing for. And most importantly: remember, the package insert for the PCR and antibody tests say that you may get a false positive if you have one of about 40 conditions!
  5. The whole thing is simply nuts. All of these tests trigger positives if you are ill, and being ill means by definition to have a higher concentration of bio-detritus floating about your system. It is a classic case of finding what you're looking for or also 'the effect proves the cause', when in all the history of virology, we've never truly found a virus that causes a disease. (Or even extracted a virus from human body fluid.

Such are my updates. Keep in mind that "science" is now mostly technology. How do you know you have X disease? Mostly because machines tell you so. Physicians don't run the machines, either, but rather techs. (A lot cheaper to employ!) And whereas "science" wants to know, and should be hyper-rigorous in proving any thesis, technology wants to make, period, and make primarily a profit. Always keep that in mind. By itself, it explains a great deal of the whole Covid debacle.

Placebo Documentary, Healing Yourself, and the Covid Fraud (Updated)

Friends,

Listening to a discussion online wherein Dr. Andrew Kaufman was speaking, I noticed he mentioned a documentary "Placebo, Cracking the Code" from 2002, so I looked it up online and watched it. You can find it here on the Internet. Please do yourselves a favor and watch it (53 minutes long, divided into sections having about a minute of dead time between the sections).

Here's the online text describing it:
Featuring members of the Harvard Placebo Study Group, "Placebo: Cracking the Code" examines the power of belief in alleviating pain, curing disease, and the healing of injuries.
The placebo effect is a pervasive, albeit misunderstood, phenomenon in medicine. In the UK, over 60% of doctors surveyed said they had prescribed placebos in regular clinical practice.
In a recent Times Magazine article, 96% of US physicians surveyed stated that they believe that placebo treatments have real therapeutic effects.
Fascinating documentary about the science and psychology of placebos, centered on a gathering of the Harvard Placebo Study Group at a remote cottage in Ireland.

The Placebo Effect 
I think everyone needs to understand that "the placebo effect" (and its dark twin, the "nocebo effect") are real, and that your mind can cure a great deal wrong with your body, whether physically or mentally. It can also kill you. Placebos have been known to cure terrible, mortal illnesses, for example, and deep depression. They certainly can lessen pain. The term "placebo" can reference not just the usual fake pill, but one's act of mind and strength of will and faith. Hypnosis can be used to focus the mind for a cure this way, as well. This documentary reports on a number of examples of physical and mental healing, one quite famous in medical history (1950s, involving hypnosis) that unfortunately has been almost completely forgotten.

To appreciate these revelations, of course, you have to first know the placebo effect is real. Experts estimate it could reduce our modern reliance on pharmaceuticals and surgeries by at least 30 percent. Therefore, of course, "Big Pharma" and "Big Medicine" in general (as opposed to individual doctors, many of whom have always prescribed placebos) would naturally work overtime to denigrate the idea of the mind/body healing itself. And the documentary also has one strong example of a "nocebo effect" killing a man: A doctor thought a patient still had a cancer that they had tried to remove, and told the patient he still had the cancer, with the patient subsequently dying; then, to the doctor's horror, the post-mortem revealed they actually had been successful in cutting the cancer out! But the man believed he still had it and so died.

Covid a Giant Nocebo?
All that makes you wonder about the whole Covid fraud. Was it simply a huge "Nocebo"? Did The Powers That Be apply the nocebo effect to the usual annual flu in such a way as to ensure a lot of people dying in despair? A "conspiracy theory"? Think about it.

All that ridiculous talk about the spike protein (other small particles have such) and how Covid was "engineered" by evil virologists! China! Bio-weapon! Fauci and the Chinese are up to no good, naturally, but there are many ways they can make toxins besides viruses. The truth is the whole science of virology is evil, a fraud perpetrated on us since Pasteur and Koch, while all this time the evidence for influenza being caused by heightened electrical use had been plain since the freaking SEVENTEENTH CENTURY! (I'm going to have to write a report on that! But it is true.) To this day, remember, virology has never found virus virions (vesicles) in the body fluid of any human, even after literally injecting snot and body fluid of Spanish flu patients into naval volunteers in 1919; even literally rubbing it in their faces and putting it in their nostrils, all that, and they could not infect the volunteers!
  • A "virion" is the actual protein-coated active virus: technically: "a complete virus particle that consists of an RNA or DNA core with a protein coat sometimes with external envelopes and that is the extracellular infectious form of a virus' (Wikipedia). And NO ONE has ever found a Covid virion either in nature or in a person. There is said to be a couple of caches of smallpox virions in the USA and Russia, and a few other viruses here or there, such as the herpes Varicella-zoster virus (supposedly causes chickenpox). But as for Covid, despite it's supposed to be everywhere, it remains a purely computer-created concoction.
Consider how hard, how so desperately, desperately hard, how so unrelentingly The Powers That Be tried to instill abject fear of Covid, a true utter terror, pure paranoia into the world's population. Even now, in many countries, this continues. They even lied about how many people died "of" Covid as "with" Covid. It's a fantastic, world-record fraud. However, it had a purpose: the fear-creation was that seemed so reckless and insane was actually "cover" for what various political, economic, and social policies the Global Elites had planned for some time.
  1. Covid was the flu of the 2020 winter season, some versions of which were nastier and more dangerous than usual because it first appeared in Wuhan, a sickeningly polluted city and one totally wired for 5G...
  2. But The Powers That Be made it out to be a cross between the Black Death and the Spanish Flu!
  3. Yet that was nonsense as shown by national mortality rates. While national and regional mortality rates showed no change at all (except for a few spikes in early 2020 caused by government policy of putting flu-ill people into old folks' homes), and then because of the "vaccine"-caused deaths occurring an ever-increasing rise in 2021, the world has no excess mortality rates.
  4. So, there was NO pandemic till Big Pharma made it happen, promoting it through the infamous PCR tests, which were themselves a fraud.
  5. Then they sustained it by insanely over-vaccinating huge swaths of people and thus making later versions of the Covid Flu ("the Covid Wu-Flu") even more resilient, (though ever milder, it seems). One of virology's oldest tenants is you don't over-prescribe strong medicine because you just create "super bugs" by doing so!
  6. It is absolutely apparent that the goal was to get you to take the "vaccines", at any cost, and take them again and again and again. Why? 
So, my friends, this needs to be investigated, though of course the forces arrayed against commonsense and truth are very strong. Even Dr. McCoy commented in the 1960's Star Trek episode The Omega Glory, that "I find, Mr. Spock, that Evil usually wins, unless Truth is very, very strong." (From memory; it might be slightly different.)

I myself refuse to be afraid. To Hell with the lies. (Update: I see the Alberta provincial government got caught lying about Covid-vaccine deaths just the other day. It's grotesque. Governments just can't help but lie about Covid. Constantly. You cannot trust anything they say. They ceaselessly break the Commandment not to lie.)

We've taken no "vaccines" in my household and I wear cleverly gutted masks that I can actual exhale through, for two years now. No one in my family ever got remotely "Covid" sick these past two years and I thought that was because I used Vitamin D and know Covid is a fraud. But now I wonder whether it was also in part because of pure will-power, "the placebo effect". (If that was so, of course, it was through the grace of God to bestow on me that sort of mind.)

Knowledge, focusing the mind, and as ever, truth, drives out terror.

More on the placebo effect later.
