Q: Explain this to me like I’m five. I’ll wait. A: Sure. No problem at all. Covidism is a RELIGION, and the mask is a mandatory, visible sign of assent and submission to the satanic Coviet religion.

And THAT, is why the mask is a flagrant violation of the First Commandment.

Folks, this isn’t satire. This is real. It also demonstrates beyond any doubt that masks are nothing more than a dehumanizing luciferian religious submission garment. People wear them because they have embraced and converted to the OneWorld Covid religion/political system, and almost all consider the mask to be a talisman that by the power of magic protects them from seasonal respiratory viruses.

Tour de Force must read: 18 ways to leave your Vaxxer

[Crossposted from Mark Docherty at NonVeniPacem.]

This is EPIC. Fully annotated. The most complete compendium of scamdemic/deathvaxx that I have seen. The only minor error I caught is that he says the mortality rate is 0.27%… this has actually been revised down to 0.15%… and that probably includes flu. Folks, PLEASE copy and paste, share the links, do whatever you can to spread the TRUTH. People are dying and many more will probably die next cold/flu season because they blindly took the vaxx. All the evidence, all the science points towards this. People are NOT being told that these are experimental, unapproved vaccines, and that they themselves are participating in an experiment, all of which are violations of the Nuremberg Code and Federal Law. You can’t give Informed Consent if you are not informed.

Following is a taste of the first four reasons; follow the link at the end for the rest.

18 Reasons I Won’t Be Getting a Covid Vaccine

by Christian Elliott

#1: VACCINE MAKERS ARE IMMUNE FROM LIABILITY

The only industry in the world that bears no liability for injuries or deaths resulting from their products, are vaccine makers.

First established in 1986 with the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, and reinforced by the PREP Act, vaccine makers cannot be sued, even if they are shown to be negligent.

The covid-vaccine makers are allowed to create a one-size-fits-all product, with no testing on sub-populations (i.e. people with specific health conditions), and yet they are unwilling to accept any responsibility for any adverse events or deaths their products cause.

If a company is not willing to stand behind their product as safe, especially one they rushed to market and skipped animal trials on, I am not willing to take a chance on their product.

No liability. No trust.

Here’s why…

#2: THE CHECKERED PAST OF THE VACCINE COMPANIES

The four major companies who are making these covid vaccines are/have either:

  1. Never brought a vaccine to market before covid (Moderna and Johnson & Johnson).
  2. Are serial felons (Pfizer, and Astra Zeneca).
  3. Are both (Johnson & Johnson).

Moderna had been trying to “Modernize our RNA” (thus the company name)–for years, but had never successfully brought ANY product to market–how nice for them to get a major cash infusion from the government to keep trying.

In fact, all major vaccine makers (save Moderna) have paid out tens of billions of dollars in damages for other products they brought to market when they knew those products would cause injuries and death–see Vioxx, Bextra, Celebrex, Thalidomide, and Opioids as a few examples.

If drug companies willfully choose to put harmful products in the market, when they can be sued, why would we trust any product where they have NO liability?

In case it hasn’t sunk in, let me reiterate…3 of the 4 covid vaccine makers have been sued for products they brought to market even though they knew injuries and deaths would result.

Let me reiterate this point:

Given the free pass from liability, and the checkered past of these companies, why would we assume that all their vaccines are safe and made completely above board?

Where else in life would we trust someone with that kind of reputation?

To me that makes as much sense as expecting a remorseless, abusive, unfaithful lover to become a different person because a judge said deep down they are a good person.

No. I don’t trust them.

No liability. No trust.

Here’s another reason why I don’t trust them.

#3: THE UGLY HISTORY OF ATTEMPTS TO MAKE CORONAVIRUS VACCINES

There have been many attempts to make viral vaccines in the past that ended in utter failure, which is why we did not have a coronavirus vaccine in 2020.

In the 1960’s, scientists attempted to make an RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) vaccine for infants.

In that study, they skipped animal trials because they weren’t necessary back then.

In the end, the vaccinated infants got much sicker than the unvaccinated infants when exposed to the virus in nature, with 80% of the vaccinated infants requiring hospitalization, and two of them died.

After 2000, scientists made many attempts to create coronavirus vaccines.

For the past 20 years, all ended in failure because the animals in the clinical trials got very sick and many died, just like the children in the 1960’s.

You can read a summary of this history/science here.

Or if you want to read the individual studies you can check out these links:

  • In 2004 attempted vaccine produced hepatitis in ferrets
  • In 2005 mice and civets became sick and more susceptible to coronaviruses after being vaccinated
  • In 2012 the ferrets became sick and died. And in this study mice and ferrets developed lung disease.
  • In 2016 this study also produce lung disease in mice.

The typical pattern in the studies mentioned above is that the children and the animals produced beautiful antibody responses after being vaccinated.

The manufacturers thought they hit the jackpot.

The problem came when the children and animals were exposed to the wild version of the virus.

When that happened, an unexplained phenomenon called Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) also known as Vaccine Enhanced Disease (VED) occurred where the immune system produced a “cytokine storm” (i.e. overwhelmingly attacked the body), and the children/animals died.

Here’s the lingering issue…

The vaccine makers have no data to suggest their rushed vaccines have overcome that problem.

In other words, never before has any attempt to make a coronavirus vaccine been successful, nor has the gene-therapy technology that is mRNA “vaccines” been safely brought to market, but hey, since they had billions of dollars in government funding, I’m sure they figured that out.

Except they don’t know if they have…

#4: THE “DATA GAPS” SUBMITTED TO THE FDA BY THE VACCINE MAKERS

When vaccine makers submitted their papers to the FDA for the Emergency Use Authorization (Note: An EUA is not the same as a full FDA approval), among the many “Data Gaps” they reported was that they have nothing in their trials to suggest they overcame that pesky problem of Vaccine Enhanced Disease.

They simply don’t know–i.e. they have no idea if the vaccines they’ve made will also produce the same cytokine storm (and deaths) as previous attempts at such products.

As Joseph Mercola points out…

Previous attempts to develop an mRNA-based drug using lipid nanoparticles failed and had to be abandoned because when the dose was too low, the drug had no effect, and when dosed too high, the drug became too toxic. An obvious question is: What has changed that now makes this technology safe enough for mass use?”

If that’s not alarming enough, here are other gaps in the data–i.e. there is no data to suggest safety or efficacy regarding:

  • Anyone younger than age 18 or older than age 55
  • Pregnant or lactating mothers
  • Auto-immune conditions
  • Immunocompromised individuals
  • No data on transmission of covid
  • No data on preventing mortalityfrom covid
  • No data on duration of protection from covid

Hard to believe right?

In case you think I’m making this up, or want to see the actual documents sent to the FDA by Pfizer and Moderna for their Emergency Use Authorization, you can check out this, or this respectively. The data gaps can be found starting with page 46 and 48 respectively.

For now let’s turn our eyes to the raw data the vaccine makers used to submit for emergency use authorization.

UPDATED: Comeuppance: I remember an employee of VaticanRadio saying to me in 2013, “Liz Lev is the most vindictive b**** in Rome. If I say anything against her, she’ll destroy my ability to work in Rome. I can’t burn that bridge.”

Looks like the chalice-snatching psychopath grifter Liz Lev’s run is finally, at long last ending.

For the record.  EVERYONE I met in Rome, including people that Liz Lev considers to be her closest ‘friends’ and colleagues, DESPISE HER. Her #1 beta-narcissist pet faggot, who was instrumental in the laughable attempted cover-up of her two sacrilegious pregnancies by Fr. Thomas Williams (yes, TWO, the first sadly miscarried, the second born with severe Down’s syndrome), referred to her in conversation with me, numerous times, as “Stupid F***ing Liz.”

I have never, in my life, been aware of a person who is so universally hated and held in utter contempt by everyone who REALLY knows and has to interact with her in person, as Liz Lev. This woman’s entire life revolves around sleeping her way into money and then power, first by shrewdly and calculatedly becoming the public mistress and baby-mama of THREE children by a wealthy attorney in Bologna (anchor babies aren’t just a Mexican thing, folks), and then ESPECIALLY at the Vatican Museums (through the Legionaries of Christ, specially her priest baby-daddy, Fr. Thomas Williams).  All the while riding the satanic horse of “feminism”.

Add her notorious pathological mistreatment of colleagues and subordinates, and her imagined belief – not jokingly – that she is the reincarnation of the 15th century psycho-whore Caterina Sforza, and Queen Christina of Sweden, to the crazy potpie. Liz Lev ACTUALLY believes that she and her baby-daddy, Fr. Thomas Williams, are the “NEW ROMAN ARISTOCRACY.”

If you want to see a Roman laugh so hard that he cries, just mention THAT.

I had a seminarian tell me several years ago before the CoronaScam, that he eyewitnessed Liz Lev walk into a work-a-day bar in Rome and demand that the owner come kiss her hand in obeisance.  And she wasn’t being silly.  It was a manifestation of a woman, as the seminarian said, “clearly losing her mind.” Interestingly, I had another English-speaking ex-pat friend, who worked in Rome as a tour guide, volunteer out of the blue EXACTLY the same sentiment at a dinner a few months later. “I think Liz is actually insane. She thinks she is a medieval queen, and we are all her subjects or something…”

Now, this repugnant, trailer park slob of a woman, complete with two-inch roots, DARES complain that her “tour guiding” scam has dried up?? This woman DARES grift for DONATIONS?

Let me add to what others have already pointed out:

Liz Lev has presided over, employed, and protected for almost a quarter century a mafia of sodomite men who have literally used their credentialed access to St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums as their entry pass to ENGAGE IN SODOMITICAL ENCOUNTERS, WHICH THEY OPENLY BRAG ABOUT, WITH CURIAL BISHOPS AND CLERICS.

“Happy hunting, my dear.  If you’re not ‘his type’, send him over to me.”

“Oooooh. Bless me father, for I AM SINNING….”

Sacrilegious fornication and sodomy are a literal JOKE to these criminal degenerates, Liz Lev first among them.

I have said for YEARS that St. Peter’s Basilica and probably most of the Vatican, INCLUDING THE SISTINE CHAPEL, will be destroyed because of the SODOMY and moral degeneracy that LIZ LEV has happily enabled for TWENTY-FIVE LOOOOOOONG YEARS. Why? Because as St. Paul tells us in his letter to the Romans, SODOMITES ARE SHAMELESS FLATTERERS.  Liz Lev’s entire personal economy is built upon people lyingly telling her how ‘fabulous’ she is… to her face, so they can get licensed as Rome-Vatican tour guides, or networked into the Rome-Vatican-Legionaries mafia.

These are not TOURIST ATTRACTIONS.  They are PILGRIMAGE destinations. Not cash cow profit centers.

I’m sorry, folks, but I’ve had it with these people.  Let it ALL come out.  And let them NEVER, EVER be able to re-start the gay desecration of the Basilica of St. Peter, the Vatican, Rome, or the world.  ENOUGH!!!

UPDATE:

Dear, dear Ann,

I once was invited to attend a Liz Lev “lecture” on the Sistine Chapel Last Judgement fresco. I could not endure to stay and listen for more than 15 minutes, about 13 of which I spent trying to figure out how to leave without offending my host.

It was obvious to me (trained in art history) from the minute she opened her mouth, that she was a fraud and held the sacred in contempt.

The Vatican cliques are disgusting to me. I quite identify with your horror. The picture of corruption you describe is important to expose.

But please refrain from gossip. You risk giving the impression that you have a personal score to settle, rather than being motivated by a holy indignation.

Praying for you, and thanking you for your clear-headed vision, and courage,

C

“Covid is the freaking flu.”

Full post here.

And yeah, you didn’t need ex post facto statistics to have known this glaringly obvious truth over a year ago – Event201 laid it all out on a Louis Quatorze sterling silver platter (or Kangxi, if you are transitioning to Chinese imperial temporal references…)


Masks and distancing work

Or so we are told:

Influenza cases in the USA, 2016-2021
2016-2017: 29 million
2017-2018: 45 million
2018-2019: 36 million
2019-2020: 38 million
2020-2021: 0.0015 million
Masks and distancing work.

Actually, they don’t. Covid cases in the USA, 2020-2021

2020-2021: 32 million

Ignore the corrupt scientists. There is absolutely no question anymore. Covid is the freaking flu.


Of course it is. A textbook Madison Avenue-esque rebranding ad campaign. Meticulously pre-planned with full malice aforethought.

And by the way, folks, the dataset above is a ROCK SOLID way to size-up other people, because in this final war, there are no state-issued uniforms.  Any human being who looks at that objective dataset above and says ANYTHING other than, “yes, it’s clearly a re-branding of the seasonal flu” is either FUNDAMENTALLY, CRIMINALLY DISHONEST, TERMINALLY STUPID, or so intensely morally blinded by their own unrepentant sin that they MUST, at all costs, be totally ignored and vociferously discredited.

The DeathJab is FIRST a SIN AGAINST PRUDENCE. Therefore the entire question of it containing murdered baby is moot from a moral theology perspective.

Folks, it’s becoming clearer every day that Chris Ferrara’s sneering question, “Do you have a degree in theology, Miss Barnhardt?” might just be credentialism after all, because by the looks of it, almost no one with any sort of “ed-u-mah-ka-shun” can think their way out of a wet paper sack at this point.  To be unlettered IS A CREDENTIAL. Mindblower, eh?

Taking the DeathJab in any form is an obvious sin against PRUDENCE.

OBVIOUS.

Let’s review the tactical situation briefly, shall we? And I say ‘briefly’ because this is so simple that there is no reason why this needs to be a 2500 word diatribe.

The billionaire oligarchy, led by Bill and Melinda Gates, George Soros, and Klaus Schwab have for DECADES been loudly proclaiming as their number-one agenda point that the human population MUST be reduced drastically, within a matter of a few decades, if not faster.  Their mantra for DECADES has been that the global population, currently at 7.7 billion, needs to be reduced to under one billion – as quickly and as soon as possible.

The Gates Foundation was proven to have maliciously sterilized millions of Kenyan women and girls under the cover of a “tetanus vaccine”.

The entire “climate change” movement is a very, very, VERY thinly veiled cover for human population reduction and installation of totalitarianism and total economic control. The sun controls global climate. Every rational human being knows this.

On October 18, ARSH 2019, the Gates Foundation held a final organizational meeting in New York City between oligarch NGOs, governments, BigPharma, and the Media, called Event 201.  The details of the CoronaVirus global fraud were laid out in detail, including the fictional backstory – only the location – Brazilian bats versus Chinese bats, was changed.  The most important tactical point drilled home in the Event201 planning session was the absolute necessity for the media to “FLOOD” the planet with terroristic fear-porn, non-stop. READ THIS LINK IF YOU READ NO OTHER IN THIS PIECE.

Covid-19 is immediately shown to be a potentially-severe deep chest cold for the frail elderly and people with co-morbidities (with OBESITY being number one), exactly like every other flu and chest cold since time immemorial.

The survival rate for Covid-19 is shown to be exactly the same as any chest cold: 99.97%

The CDC, WHO and all other entities in the post-Christian west quietly combined all influenzas, colds and bacterial pneumonias into the SAME CATEGORY, “PIC”, thus REBRANDING influenza, bacterial pneumonia and all seasonal colds as “PANDEMIC COVID”.  This is why influenza was statistically ERADICATED from the surface of the Earth in April ARSH 2020. All influenza deaths since April ARSH 2020 have been fraudulently re-branded “Covid” – GLOBALLY!

Within weeks – WEEKS-  governments and Pharmaceutical Companies announced that a “vaccine” would be available within months, and that THE ONLY POSSIBLE WAY OUT of total, permanent lockdown and economic death was THE HOLY VACCINE. Relentless propaganda FLOODING about the utter necessity of every person being “vaccinated” began IMMEDIATELY.

The Gates Foundation is heavily involved in funding both NGOs and Pharma companies pushing these same “vaccines”.  The Gates Foundation’s raison d’être is HUMAN POPULATION REDUCTION.

All “Covid Vaccines” are given global “emergency use authorization TOTALLY ILLEGALLY because  there are numerous safe, well-known drugs, especially Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine,  that have a massive success rate in both preventing AND treating “Covid/PIC”.  These drugs have been MALICIOUSLY AND INTENTIONALLY withheld from the public and even LYINGLY VILIFIED in order to maintain the public lie that THE HOLY VACCINE is the one and only way out.

Deaths, strokes, paralyses, miscarriages, bizarre uterine sloughing – including among women who are years post-menopausal, are reported in DROVES, orders of magnitude beyond any parameters triggering a total cessation of HUMAN TRIALS of any drug or vaccine.  ALL side-effects are waved off as either “not related” or “acceptable”.

Countless people who have been “vaccinated” continue to “test positive” and even become ill from “Covid”.  Fauci and the rest of the coven continue to preach that Coviet submission muzzles MUST be worn and that all “social distancing” and lockdown MUST be continued even by the “vaccinated”.  Real vaccines (i.e. smallpox, polio…) impart sterilizing immunity – the recipient can neither acquire nor spread (hence sterilizing) the virus in question.  Therefore this is OBVIOUSLY not a “vaccine”.

Massive direct coercion begins to rain down upon those who refuse to take the totally experimental and CLEARLY WILDLY DANGEROUS injections. Travel bans, exclusion from any public activity or space, and even REFUSAL OF THE SACRAMENTS are just some of the coercive measures already unfolding in just the very earliest days of the DeathJab.  CLEARLY the ability to buy and sell and hold any form of currency or debt instrument are QUICKLY going to be tied to “proof of vaccination”. Custody of minor children will also be tied to “vaccination”.

Coercing any human being into MEDICAL EXPERIMENTATION is against:
1) The Nuremberg Code
2) UNESCO Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights (Article 6)
3) UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Article 7)
4) UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 3)

It is GLARINGLY, PATENTLY OBVIOUS that the DeathJab is NEFARIOUS, has NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY VIRUS OR PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERN, and is ALMOST METAPHYSICALLY CERTAIN to be at minimum THE vector for economic totalitarianism, and is beyond that almost certainly either a sterilant, and/or a toxic prelude to the release of another engineered virus which will incite fatality via cytokine storm when interfaced with the mRNA antibody tag, intended to result in an unprecedented genocide.

What possible, possible sense does it make to think the Bill and Melinda Gates and their coven of oligarchs suddenly want to PREVENT EVERY HUMAN BEING FROM DYING – even the super-geriatric with multiple comorbidities, when their entire agenda revolves around the rapid reduction of the human population from 7.7 billion to under one billion??

GIVEN ALL OF THIS, IT IS CLEAR THAT TO TAKE SUCH AN INJECTION IS A SIN AGAINST PRUDENCE BECAUSE IT IS:

-TOTALLY UNNECESSARY IN MULTIPLE SENSES
-A HUGE PERSONAL RISK
-BEING HYPER-AGGRESSIVELY PUSHED BY KNOWN EUGENICISTS, MALTHUSIANS, and TOTALITARIANS

If taking the DeathJab AT ALL is a sin against prudence, which we clearly see that it is, WHAT DOES IT MATTER IN THE IMMEDIATE SENSE WHETHER IT CONTAINS DEAD BABIES?

We have already logically established that NO MORALLY SANE PERSON can participate in this highly-probable genocide and OBVIOUS totalitarian maneuver.  The question ends there.  No additional tangents are even germane to the question.  The vaccine could be made out of smoked salmon dip, peanut butter, or dead babies and it is STILL a SIN AGAINST PRUDENCE to take it in the first place.

How can a parent of minor children, or ANYONE think they can play worse-than-Russian  roulette… in order to WHAT? Keep a job? Be able to fly? Be able to eat inside at The Cheesecake Factory?  You can’t justify it in any sane, rational way.  It’s a massive, obvious sin against PRUDENCE.

TAKE. UP. YOUR. CROSS.

As always, my God, my God, I hope and pray that this helps.

An EIGHT year old homeschooler sends an injectable Ivermectin oral dosage chart.

X axis is cc’s/mL. (Remember, one milliliter is one cubic centimeter – same thing)

Y axis is body weight in pounds (yay Imperial units!)

It’s a simple linear function. Plot two ordered pairs and connect with a straight edge, through the origin at (0,0).

In our case, the ordered pair (1, 110) is given on the label. We extrapolate (2, 220).

Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy.

Hi Ann,

I loved your post about “customers who bought this item also bought”! I would be perplexed too if I were not a regular on your blog.

Since I have horses, I bought a large supply of Ivermectin 1.87% apple flavored paste.

The other day, I had an outbreak of canker sores in my mouth (herpes virus). I took a dose of ivermectin and they were completely gone by morning. Ivermectin is truly a wonder drug!

As Karl Denninger would suggest, these people pushing the “vaccines” should be arrested, jailed and asset-stripped to their underwear! What a crime is being perpetrated right before our eyes!

Keep up the good work!

 


 

And y’all KNOW that as a child of the ’80s, there is no way I could make a post including the words “herpes simplex” and not include this clip:

UPDATED: I cannot believe that I even have to say this, but…

…if a doughy middle-aged guy who is trying to look like Lord Sebastian Flyte’s gay American travel agent sidles up to you after Trad Mass and asks in mawkish tones if you would like a Tarot Card reading…

You.

Say.

No.

I don’t care if he drinks gin with the third cousin of the Fifth Viscount Ladyfingers. RUN AWAY. Sprint, even.

According to the formidable Dymphna, people are actually defending… occult divination by “amusing confirmed bachelors” – as long as they hang around TLM parishes now??

Have we LEARNED NOTHING???


Fr. Z lays down the law:

Anyone who, knowing [Tarot Cards] to be a) forbidden by the Church for use and b) spiritually perilous, uses them anyway commits a mortal sin.   Anyone who, knowing their qualities, uses them and involves someone else, commits yet another terrible abusive sin by involving another.  Anyone who, aware of the Church’s teaching, etc., who uses them and is open about it or tries to get others to use them commits the additional sin of scandal, by inducing others to commit sins.

If you have any of these things,

▪ break them,

▪ burn them,

▪ put the pieces or ashes into running water.

Then…

GO TO CONFESSION and confess their use.  Make a good Holy Communion.   If strange things manifest themselves in your life, stick to the sacraments and good devotions and find a priest who can bless you and perhaps, if there are enough indications, use a minor exorcism.


And I would add, STEER WELL CLEAR OF THIS CHARLES COULOMBE warlock poofter. Blech.

Just for the record: I am right handed and wear my watch on my right wrist

I was advised to write and distribute my “I’m not going to commit suicide” document a couple of years ago now, after being alerted (with documentary screen caps) that I was at risk, or at least being inadvertently set up, for being “suicided” by Trad, Inc. “Francis is Pope” partisans in private Facebook chatrooms.  Yes, it really is that insanely bad behind closed doors with those people.

A priest on my sizable distribution list’s response was, “YOU are just NOW doing this?? Welcome to the club.”

Indeed.

It occurred to me that I should publicly document one of my minor peculiarities for the record.  I am 100% right handed and wear my wristwatch on my right wrist, totally against convention.  I was given a red Snoopy wristwatch with a red plastic band for my fourth birthday (image below of the exact model).  I took it out of the box and put it on my right wrist, which seemed totally intuitive to me at the time, and the die was forever cast. I have worn my watch on my right hand, despite all excoriations, often by perfect strangers, for my entire life, and will until I die so long as I have a wristwatch to wear.  To put my watch on my left wrist feels, to me, like putting my shoes on the wrong feet.

This is exactly the model of watch I was given in ARSH 1980 for my fourth birthday. Wearing it on my dominant (right) hand was and is yet more proof of my damnable indocility and pathological refusal to submit to earthly authority. Or something.

Today, I wear a worn, albeit beautiful, Rado watch with a plated ceramic band that I bought in the fall of ARSH 2004 for $1400. I bought it so I wouldn’t have to take it off to go through airport metal detectors – the links are ceramic, not metal, so it isn’t enough metal to set off metal detectors.  The original sapphire crystal fell off last summer, and it now has a very poor, and heavily scratched glass replacement crystal which I should eventually try to replace with another sapphire crystal – depending on the cost. But that is a VERY, VERY low priority, especially now.  My Rado is on its fourth battery in seventeen years.  Not bad.  And it keeps time as accurately as the atomic clock that the cellphone companies use.  I see no reason why it shouldn’t last the rest of my life, even if I live to natural old age.  A good watch is a good investment.  My watch and simple sterling silver Fleur de Lis earrings (which I don’t take out or change) are the only jewelry I wear.

This is my model watch since ARSH 2004. Rado Drastar. On the right wrist.

Just for the record…. It can’t hurt to be thorough.
