The amount of abuse, insults, slander, and death threats hurled at Ilhan Omar in recent weeks has been a sight to behold. The vulgarity of this mob is on full display, with their ignorant, unhealthy attachment to a foreign power compelling them to constantly police the opinions of any political leader who displays independence of thought when it comes to the topic of Israel. Yet in the face of the insults, attacks, and myriad death threats, Omar continues to stand firm, refusing to apologize and slink away, which is unforgivable to the Political Class. They aren’t used to dealing with vertebrates among elected leaders, and their only reaction is unbounded rage. But among people who admire principle, intransigence, and fearlessness in the face of bullies, Ilhan is a hero, an all-too-rare exception to the standard, mealy-mouthed politicians who flaunt the low price-tag attached to their integrity.

Chad Loder recently catalogued hundreds of death threats directed at Omar, only for Twitter to erase his list while allowing the threatening tweets themselves to remain online.

Trump has even piled on the parade of hate against Omar, saying that, “she’s got a way about her that’s very bad for this country”.  Her plain observation that Israel’s influence on our government is bad for this country is somehow…bad for this country. It’s dangerous talk coming from a President, because it’s the same rhetoric used to prepare the soil for real violence against “enemies of the State”. She may be bad for the interests of the Political Class, for Israel’s stranglehold on their lapdogs in Congress, but she is very good for this country. The ability to stand against the entirety of the Israel Lobby without blinking betrays a degree of fortitude unheard of within the Washington D.C. swamp.

There is a bizarre irony in flag-worshipping nationalists becoming so upset over criticism of a foreign country. These are people who know nothing of history, or liberty, or the role they are playing in the destruction of their own country. These are people who have never read George Washington’s prophetic Farewell Address, and, having not read it, don’t understand that they are the betrayers that he warned about when he said this:

“So likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld. And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens (who devote themselves to the favorite nation), facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding, with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation.”

Our country needs politicians who can’t be bought. The lynch mob reaction to one of the few that do exist is a fairly accurate indicator of the extent of the decay of character not only within our governing class, but within the culture itself.

If we have learned anything from the War on Terror, it is this: don’t legislate when in the grip of a national hysteria. But yet here we are, in the grip of measles hysteria, and the legislative pens are flying. Recently, NYC mayor Bill De Blasio declared a state of emergency, ordered forced vaccinations, and sent “disease detectives” into communities thought to be more resistant than usual to Pharma propaganda concerning one of its own products.

Now Colorado is considering mandatory vaccination, with a bill that would mandate the full CDC schedule passing out of the Colorado Legislature House Health and Insurance Committee.

This, however, pales in comparison to the ostracism of anyone who has any questions about the safety of vaccines. Blind rage at “anti-vaxxers” rages on social media. Indeed, “anti-vaxxers” are the Big Pharma equivalent to Muslims during the peak hysteria of the War on Terror. “Anti-vaxxers” are being branded a threat to the safety and security of civilization itself, and can therefore be safely dehumanized. Which is what is happening. The masses are buying the propaganda hook, line, and sinker. Just as they did regarding terrorism and the necessity for endless war and the relinquishment of liberty. And people that know better are either staying silent, or deliberately stoking the passions of the seething mob.

Never let a crisis go to waste, as Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel so nakedly framed the technique of the Political Class for coaxing our liberty out of our hands. Merely create a mob, then give it what it wants.

He humiliated the Political Class.

Obligatory funny-because-it’s-true Jimmy quote: “You don’t need to go to college to be a journalist…there are people who go to school for journalism. Those people are known as chumps.”

Tulsi is an amazing candidate for many reasons, but primarily for the simple fact of her stance on the topic of war and peace. A person whose integrity has a price tag won’t say “I will end the regime-change wars” right out of the gate like she did. They won’t defend Julian Assange on principle. People who can be bought always hedge their opinions, they say “maybe”, and “I’m not sure”, etc. They are morally and philosophically amorphous, which means they’re perfect blank slates for the various industries that will surely purchase and then write their will on them.

So here is Jimmy Dore’s segment on Tulsi, who defends Assange against a pro-war, pro-establishment echo chamber posing as a CNN journalist:

Though you wouldn’t know it from watching the nightly news, there is a mumps outbreak currently underway throughout the U.S., one that is 20 times larger than the measles “outbreak” currently causing so much opportunistic hand-wringing and fear-mongering among the government officials and their stenographers in the mainstream media. It’s spreading like a wildfire through the vaccinated student body of several universities, stupefying health officials, who can only recommend getting an MMR “booster” in lieu of actual advice.

Something else you probably haven’t heard about is the Navy ship entering its third month of quarantine on the high seas, literally sailing in circles as it struggles to regain control of a “mumps-like illness” currently infecting a portion of the fully-vaccinated sailors aboard.

Why aren’t these stories given the same airtime as the measles “outbreak”? One reason might be due to the fact that Merck has, for the past seven years, been embroiled in a lawsuit over the efficacy of the mumps component of the Measles/Mumps/Rubella vaccine. The lawsuit was filed by two former Merck scientists who claimed that Merck engaged in fraud by concealing the poor efficacy of the mumps component of the MMR vaccine. Stephen A. Krahling and Joan Wlochowski, virologists who had worked in Merck’s vaccine laboratory from 1999 to 2002, allege that they were forced to participate in “Protocol 007”, the official name for the effort to falsify research to make the vaccine appear far more effective in inducing immunity to mumps than it actually did.

The reason for the lack of coverage is more than likely due to the fact that Pharma pays the salaries of the major media outlets, $3.7 billion in 2018 alone. They also own your Congressman, your family doctor, and probably your priest.  The narrative is on the auction block, and Merck can outbid everyone else, including the families of teenage daughters now crippled from an aluminum adjuvant in their murderous Gardasil vaccine, or formerly pregnant women who suffered a miscarriage, mysteriously, immediately after receiving a flu vaccine.

Vaccines are not sacrosanct, they are a pharmaceutical product produced powerful, corrupt corporations with no incentive to test for safety. But questioning vaccines draws the same ire as questioning the troops did at the height of the war on terrorism hysteria. “I support vaccines” is the new “I support the troops”. It’s an empty incantation, blind support that deserves criticism, ridicule, and debate. Supporting the troops has been equated with blindly supporting their deliverance into whatever new theater of death our Political Class deems appropriate to their interests.

I oppose war because I truly do support the troops. Their lives should hold more value to the ones with power over them. Accountability should be brought to the pharmaceutical industry in the same way that it should be brought to the weapons industry, the complex of interests that gains from endless war. Powerful industries that receive protection from the Political Class deserve criticism. What they do not deserve is a captive nation of customers, who are forced to inject their untested product into their bodies.

Ecuador sealed the deal on a $4.2 billion “loan” from the International Monetary Fund in late February of this year. That’s not all, though. It will also receive $6 billion from the myriad globalist moneylenders that entice the governments of developing countries into digging a bottomless pit of debt for their people. It’s a deal with the globalist devil, and that infernal creditor will collect his debt, ask for various favors, and basically ensure that yet another nation in safely tucked away in his pocket. One of those favors may have been the apprehension of Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks, because, just this morning, Ecuador tossed Assange out of their embassy that he’d been hiding in for the past seven years. The British police immediately arrested him, and the U.S. gov’t is going to force an extradition, give him the kangaroo court treatment, and then toss him into a hole for several decades, in order to send a message to whistleblowers and actual journalists: Expose us at your own peril.

The intensity of the mob mentality surrounding the vaccine debate is reaching a crescendo. The reaction of virtually everyone I’ve come into casual contact with where the subject has come up has not been one of a fully-formed human mind capable of critical thinking and at least a partially functioning B.S. detector. Instead, it has been the slightly horrified expression of someone held utterly in thrall to a superstition. If there has ever been documented a facial expression for a silent accusation of “heresy!” or “blasphemy!”, I see it when the topic of vaccines arises, at least in a mild way. It’s scary, but also sad, in the sense that, for many people, vaccines have reached the “it’s beyond debate” area of the brain, usually reserved for a god, a government, or the Hale-Bopp comet’s Space Jesus.

My take on the issue, when in the presence of someone else, is vanilla in the extreme: I wonder aloud what could be the cause of the autoimmune/autism epidemic that sprung up seemingly out of nowhere sometime around 1990. I wonder aloud why lifetime chronic illness affects one-in-three children born after 1990. I bring up the fact that many vaccines are manufactured by Merck, the same company that knowingly manufactured and sold a pain medication that induced fatal heart attacks, and ended up killing over 55,000 U.S. citizens. For some reason, these people don’t mind that I criticize Vioxx, or Merck. But vaccines are a different story altogether. I sense the psychic equivalent of a hand reaching for a crucifix at the mere mention of them in a tone that suggest they are something slightly less than an immaculately conceived gift from God.

I’m not even trying to convince anyone, I’m only raising questions. But it’s the reaction to any type of questioning that is disturbing to me. Openly raise a slight objection to vaccines and the air suddenly leaves the room. Every mouth within earshot transforms into a thin line. If there was a censorship Czar close at hand, I’d be reported. And it is so easy to see how quickly we slip into tyranny.  In a sense, we are predisposed towards it. Something inside us just loves watching a heretic burn, and we want to be the one to have put them on the pyre.

We are not nearly as evolved, or “modern”, as we think we are.  We think that, because we use a laptop, use a mobile phone, drive electric cars, and believe in “Science”, we aren’t susceptible to the same superstitions that destroyed countless lives and civilizations before us. We go about our day-to-day lives with all our gods lined up nice and neat in our mind, whether we are aware of it or not. One could say that that very unawareness of our insidious ability to deify is all the more dangerous, since we wouldn’t know the danger of what we created until it was already raising up armies, passing laws, and sacrificing children.

There is a feeling that we as a society are backpedaling into a cult of Science, with the flames stoked by pharmaceutical corporations, politicians with a price tag on their integrity, and the legion of well-meaning useful idiots that inhabit every level and feverishly spread the Dispensation.

If we are to preserve liberty, and civilization itself, every aspect of our existence should be subject to questions and cross-examination, nothing should be allowed to fossilize into dogma.

In 2008, Michael Froman, a Citigroup executive at the time, sent an email to Obama’s campaign chairman John Podesta with a list of who he wanted to fill the cabinet in the event of an election victory. Obama won, and he did exactly what he was told by an executive of the largest recipient of financial crisis bailout cash. This should’ve been the real news, yet why didn’t we hear about?

Here is the stranger than fiction story from The New Republic: 

The most important Wikileaks revelation isn’t about Hillary Clinton

Jimmy Dore breaks it down, along with other revelations from the Obama years:

“Have you ever used orphans to study an experimental vaccine?

Plotkin-“Yes.”

“Have you ever used babies of mothers in prison to study an experimental vaccine?”

Plotkin-“Yes.”

And so goes the ghoulish, 8-hour deposition of Stanley Plotkin, possibly the foremost authority on vaccines in the world. Plotkin had decided to intervene in a custody battle in Michigan. The father wanted his child vaccinated, the mother did not. Plotkin apparently thought it would be a quick cakewalk, and it’s highly doubtful he knew he’d be subjected to such a probing deposition from someone familiar with the subject matter. He recused himself from the court case the following day.

Here is just one of many nuggets:

“The question is whether we are to have experiments performed on fully functioning adults and on children who are potentially contributors to society or to perform initial studies in children and adults who are human in form, but not in social potential. It may be objected that this questions implies a Nazi philosophy, but I do not think that it is difficult to distinguish non-functioning persons from members of ethnic, racial, economic, or other groups.”

Unbounded ego, and the insidious capacity of some people to believe they can play God, is on display here. It’s ugly, but is it surprising? Plotkin is just one of many of the pedigreed filth that comprise the academic Praetorian Guard of the pharmaceutical industry, cloaking it in it’s mystique, and it’s facade of white-coated, objective Science.

Aside from falsifying safety tests for it’s murderous pain medication, Vioxx, Merck also discussed how to silence physicians critical of the drug. In 1999, Merck employees batted around a hit list of doctors that needed neutralizing, with one email stating that:

“We may need to seek them out and destroy them where they live …”

The shenanigans of Merck during the Vioxx saga border on the surreal, such as the pro-Vioxx pop song written for sales reps, and a legion of reporter stalkers to ensure the “correct” story gets published.

This idiotic, evil entity lived through a scandal that should have leveled the entire industry. Instead, it flourishes today, and you’ve probably injected your children with one of its products.
