We Will Not Comply!

Meddle Of Dishonor

 


Product Placement

On Tuesday (Aug 29) while at Costco, I looked to see what products are now in the vanquished book section. In place of the books is now a long row of potato chips and similar snacks, most of them chemical-laden pseudo-food.

Once upon a time, Costco—for a corporate store—featured occasionally good books. Greg Palast's 2006 “Armed Madhouse: Who's Afraid of Osama Wolf?, China Floats, Bush Sinks, The Scheme to Steal '08, No Child's Behind Left, and Other Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Class War”, ISBN 0739474618. The ISBN number is important as there is a similarly-named book by Palast that appears to be much watered-down. 2005's “The Complete Calvin And Hobbes”.

Starting around 2008, Costco's book selection became extremely watered-down, and credit to the people of Humboldt County, non-fiction book sales tanked. Given how useless Costco's offerings became, removing the book section was a mercy killing. Or a flushing.

But what do you expect? There have long been overlaps between Costco's corporate hierarchy and Micro$oft's. A look at the current Board Of Directors shows some “interesting” connections that suggest the best interests of Costco's “lesser” stockholders are not Job 1:

Susan Decker, "a director of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc.".

Sally Jewell, who "served as the Secretary of the Interior under President Barack Obama from 2013 to 2017".

Jeff Raikes, who "was the Chief Executive Officer of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation from 2008 to 2014. Mr. Raikes held several positions with Microsoft Corporation from 1981 to 2008, including President of the Business Division from 2005 to 2008".

It gets better:

John W. Stanton clicks off a whole bunch of boxes, cell phones that are used to track the locations and communications of the little people while frying their brains and otherwise radiating them into oblivion, combined with Microsoft:

"Mr. Stanton founded and served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Western Wireless Corporation, a wireless telecommunications company, from 1992 until shortly after its acquisition by ALLTEL Corporation in 2005. He was Chairman and a director of T-Mobile USA, formerly VoiceStream Wireless Corporation, a mobile telecommunications company, from 1994 to 2004, and was Chief Executive Office from 1998 to 2003. Mr. Stanton was a director of Clearwire Corp. from 2008 to 2013, Chairman between 2011 and 2013, and interim Chief Executive Officer during 2011. He is currently a director of Trilogy International Partners and Microsoft Corporation..."

Maggie Wilderotter might as well be Stanton's Sibling In Satan, same background, plus some extras such as "biotechnology" for a Brave New World:

Mrs. Wilderotter was the Executive Chairman of Frontier Communications, a public telecommunications company, from April 2015 until April 2016 and served as Frontier’s Chief Executive Officer from 2004 to 2015 and Chair of the Board from December 2005. Prior to joining Frontier, she was a senior vice president of Microsoft Corporation from 2002 to 2004. From 1997 to 2002, she was President and Chief Executive Officer of Wink Communications; an interactive telecommunications and media company. Mrs. Wilderotter was previously a director of Xerox Corporation, DreamWorks Animation SKG, Cadence Design Systems; Hewlett Packard Enterprise and The Procter & Gamble Company. She is currently a director of Sana Biotechnology and Lytt, Inc.

Note the overlap between Micro$oft and Berkshire Hathaway. Friends Forever! Well, not *your* friend.

Costco's motto might as well be, “Eat or Inject S**t, And Die”. In the meantime, if you look for intellectual stimulation at Costco, your brain will perish from starvation.

Schools Out Of Their Minds

A nice overview by Dr. Don on addressing the rampant corruption of "public education”, article Link below.

Like cockroaches, government officials and underlings sometimes scatter when faced with the glaring light that comes with being exposed on video. Unfortunately, the human versions are becoming more brazen and less likely to disperse than they used to be. We allowed them to get away with so much in the past that they figure they can continue to run amok, and that we will eventually back down.

Going to governmental agencies and especially meetings, speaking out in significant numbers, and capturing the encounter on video, is another approach that may work. Although in the example given by Dr. Don's essay, the cockroaches fled. The "little people" were not amused.

Lawsuits are a possibility, but how effective they might be depends on the legal system in your community/State. Then there's the challenge of finding an attorney with all three qualities necessary
to handle such a case successfully: Balls, Brains, and Vision.

I rather like the prospect of Recall Petitions, provided that significant numbers of signatures are obtained. Alas, it's not just Presidential Elections that are stolen. The same thing happens at the State and Local levels, particularly when a candidate or issue gains a significant following that is not to the liking of The Powers That Be.

Dr. Don's article is a solid informative read, well worth your time.

Can You Tell Me How To Get To Distraction Street?

Is it important what Bert and Ernie are "saying"?

Shouldn't we keep our eyes on what is being done, and who is giving the orders?

When Newsweek is feigning outrage over remarks of the Pennsylvania Avenue muppet, that's a clear signal that he will soon be replaced. Who's next? Kamala The Grouch? Or will they move straight to Miss Michelle? Gavin Newsom as Elmo?
______________________________________

President Joe Biden sparked outrage during his visit to Maui after making a joke that appeared to compare the deadly wildfires on the Hawaii island with almost losing his '67 Corvette.

[Snip]

During a speech to the crowd gathered in Lahaina, the president said he knew how it felt to lose a home.

"I don't want to compare difficulties but we have a little sense, Jill and I, of what it's like to lose a home," he said. "Years ago now, 15 years ago, I was in Washington doing Meet the Press. It was a sunny Sunday," he continued.

"Lightning struck at home, on a little lake that's outside of our home—not a lake, a big pond,—and hit a wire that came up underneath our home into the heating ducts and air conditioning ducts," he added.

"To make a long story short, I almost lost my wife, my '67 Corvette, and my cat."

[Snip]

A 2022 article by the Washington Examiner reported that Biden had talked about the fire in his kitchen that year while visiting Colorado after the state was struck by a rare winter wildfire. On that occasion too, the Republican National Committee Twitter account had accused Biden of exaggerating the story, citing an Associated Press report from 2004, seen by Newsweek, that said the fire was a "small" one that was "contained in the kitchen" and was "under control in 20 minutes."

If It's Clearly Predictable, Is It Still “Unexpectedly”?

Why are murders with syringes and other weapons such as Remdesivir and Paxlovid a cause for “respecting the family's privacy”? To keep the family from being encouraged to seek true justice, to prevent empowering the family to speak out so this doesn't happen to many more?

Clown Show Double Feature

Dr. Jane takes on [August 23rd's] clown shows, Carlson-Trump and Faux-Midgets.

I watched, mainly listened since the video didn't add much, the Tucker Carlson-Donald Trump theater screen. The lack of any real substance I found to be another unsettling red flag. Sure there was some bait, perhaps foreshadowing, questions like, are you afraid they are going to try to kill you Mr. President. Hard truths, hard questions, such as all the maimings and killings from the bioweapons? No questions, no answers.

The excrement from Faux was clearly foretold. Numerous emails from not just Faux, but also the other corporate media outlets shilling the shite. None of the 8 dwarfs has ever remotely shown themselves (perhaps the grammatically correct word is “themself”, but “themselves” conveys the MPD each exhibit) to be anything other.

Dr. Jane does a great concise job of covering the freak shows, and expands into related areas as well. Only 28:52, and all you really need is the audio.

Ark

“I often think how necessary it is for men who are vested with trust and great power to be inspired with the understanding of what seems to be an obvious truism, which is that we live on one planet and it is not in man’s power—at least in the foreseeable future—to change that. In a certain sense there is an analogy here—I like this comparison—with Noah’s Ark where both the ‘clean’ and the ‘unclean’ found sanctuary. But regardless of who lists himself with the 'clean' and who is considered to be 'unclean,' they are all equally interested in one thing and that is that the Ark should successfully continue its cruise. And we have no other alternative: either we should live in peace and cooperation so that the Ark maintains its buoyancy, or else it sinks. Therefore we must display concern for all of mankind, not to mention our own advantages, and find every possibility leading to peaceful solutions of problems.”

-Nikita Khrushchev,

Psy In The Sky

“Interesting” how the government and media are all over the story, and it may be just that, another “story”, about the supposed assassination of Russia's “Wagner Mercenary Chief” Prigozhin. If you want to go down that rabbit hole, and it could be illuminating although IMHO it would involve too much of an investment of time, a simple internet search will have you off and running.

The same government and media that were, and still are, telling you that, “it was just a tragic accident” when it comes to the murders of John F. Kennedy Jr. (see also); Paul Wellstone, and many others. Life is a little less sunny when you understand what happened to Sonny. Death, I Got Dead Babe.

As usual, there are overlapping agendas, D&D: Distracting from the return to medical martial law, perhaps with more killings accompanied by graphic visuals. There may be too much interest in Maui, so time to pull some of the researchers from that. Insane in the Ukraine. Demonizing Russia.

For those who have opened their eyes, none of this is a surprise or new. Part of our mission is to help more people connect dots, see through the smog, and ignore the squirrels.

Lyin'-Gate's Latest Sequel In The Series

Another poorly-written sequel. One has to pretend there is a CV1984 “virus”, that the b.s. “tests” are valid for anything, has to imagine that there has been an outbreak, and be lousy at math, reading comprehension, and critical-analytical thinking.
____________________________________

Amid rising Covid cases in Los Angeles, Lionsgate has brought back the mask mandate for nearly half of the company’s employees at its flagship office at 2700 Colorado Ave. in Santa Monica.

[Are the other half thus expendable, or immune? Do they not have contact with their coworkers]

[Snip]

... several employees recently testing positive for Covid, it involves a mandatory mask mandate effective immediately and until further notice for the 3rd and 5th floors of the five-story building, the email said.

[How many is “several”? How many people work there? Why not floors 1, 2, and 4? Do they put up “No Trespassing” signs on the fourth and other floors which the boogeybug complies with? You won't find that information in the article.]

“Employees must wear a medical grade face covering (surgical mask, KN95 or N95) when indoors except when alone in an office with the door closed, actively eating, actively drinking at their desk or workstation, or if they are the only individual present in a large open workspace,” McElroy said in the memo.

[Makes perfect (non)sense! Ventilation systems don't circulate germ-infested air. When people eat or drink, they stop breathing. What is “actively”? If they're not constantly shoveling grub into their mouths, or if they pause to chew and swallow, do they have to put the diaper back up?]

In another throwback to the early years of the pandemic, every Lionsgate employee is required to perform a daily self-screening prior to coming to the office each day and must notify McElroy and stay home if exhibiting any symptoms or have traveled internationally in the last 10 days.

[If a person travels to Canada that has to be reported, but if a person travels within the US that doesn't matter because international travelers don't live or breathe in the US? Maybe our borders don't keep millions of invaders out, but they keep viruses from entering UNLESS they sneak in by hiding inside the body of a Lyin'Bastards employee? Since practically everything is a “symptom”, why don't we just line up the employees in front of an open pit and...you know the routine...]

[Snip]

Lionsgate also is conducting contact tracing and providing at-home Covid test kits upon request.

[Your employer OWNS your ass, and the rest of you too. Wherever you go, whoever you are near, so is your Lyin'Massa.]

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reported recently “small increases in COVID-19 indicators over the past four weeks indicating increased transmission,” though the statement also stressed that “overall metrics remain at a low level of concern.”

[The heat's turned down, the heat's turned up, the frogs are still in the pot and it's just a matter of time until they're boiled. It doesn't take a movie critic to see the obvious foreshadowing: “low level” now, panic and full lockdown in the next scene.]

Still, there has been a noticeable rise in local cases recently, with a number of people reporting infections — including some who had attended Taylor Swift’s six sold-out concerts at So-Fi Stadium and some who had returned from overseas...

[How many are in “noticeable”, “a number”, and “some”? Since CV1984 has never ever been isolated in a lab or otherwise been proven to exist, how can something imaginary cause “infections”?]

Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Steal a fish from one guy and give it to another--and keep doing that on a daily basis--and you'll make the first guy pissed off, but you'll make the second guy lazy and dependent on you. Then you can tell the second guy that the first guy is greedy for wanting to keep the fish he caught. Then the second guy will cheer for you to steal more fish. Then you can prohibit anyone from fishing without getting permission from you. Then you can expand the racket, stealing fish from more people and buying the loyalty of others. Then you can get the recipients of the stolen fish to act as your hired thugs. Then you can ... well, you know the rest."

Not Climate Change

 


Math, Not Meth

San Francisco sure likes its' methheads. Yet parents have to take collective action so children might be provided with math skills in a timely manner.

When governments want to take more of your money, it is first helpful to examine what their real reason is, not just superficially look at the pretext. Next, what important things could those appropriated funds be better spent on?

Often, as with the “news” businesses, what governments omit from the discussion is more important than what they talk about.
__________________________________

In a letter sent on July 12, Friends of Lowell Foundation, a group of parents, called for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to place a ballot measure in the 2024 election to make Algebra 1 available again for 8th-graders.

[Snip]

"[O]ur school kids in the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) cannot get to calculus, because when they moved Algebra 1 out of the eighth grade and put it into the ninth grade, that pushed everything back as a result"...

[Snip]

Mr. Ridgeway recalled that hundreds of parents and residents protested before the school board, trying to stop SFUSD from removing Algebra 1 from the 8th grade in 2014.

“They didn’t even pay attention,” Mr. Ridgeway said. “They were going to do this, whether we liked it or not.”

[Snip]

While 13.8 percent of Latino and 3.9 percent of African American students completed Algebra 2 by the end of 10th grade under the old course sequence, the numbers have fallen to 6.2 and 1.3 percent respectively under the new course sequence, according to education watchdog Families for San Francisco.

Why should we look for his errors when a brave man dies? Unless we can learn from his experience, there is no need to look for weakness. Rather, we should admire the courage and spirit in his life. What kind of man would live where there is no daring? And is life so dear that we should blame men for dying in adventure? Is there a better way to die?"

Fox In The Fakehouse

More raw meat for the feeble from “Fox News”. Of course, Faux isn't writing about the actual monsterminds--The Bu$hies, Cheney, Rumsfeld (Burn In Hell, Donny), Kissinger, Rockefellers, Rothschilds, and many more.

Instead, Faux is rolling out the old claptrap about 9/11 being “masterminded” by “Muslims”, and carried out by Muslims with boxcutters.

Sadly, there are people who still believe the see-through fable, just as there are some who imagine that Oswald even shot at, let alone killed, JFK. One need not go deep down the rabbit hole to see that 9/11 was another stab at the Constitutional Republic. If the alphabet agency asset died of natural causes in 2001, then the tale spun for nearly 22 years and counting has as much coherence as FJB.

Just a reminder that Faux is not significantly better than its incestuous siblings, NBC, CBS, CNN, and so on. If it took Tucker Carlson's getting the boot to figure that one out, you weren't paying attention.

"They deserve no mercy," Strada said. "When you go to Guantánamo Bay, and I've been there, you are shown their confession. They happily said they did it. They have no remorse.

"So why do they deserve any type of mercy now?" she continued. "I say take it off the table and let's have a trial and let's get the full accountability that we all deserve."

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed as well as four other people are being held at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. The case has been hindered and delayed, particularly over the legal issues of the interrogation under torture that the men went through while in CIA custody.

Slinging It In San Jose

If San Jose is so concerned about homelessness, they should first work on solid programs to bring Living Wage Jobs to their hellhole of a city.

Starting with ensuring that teachers receive a Living Wage, and work in an environment where they can help upcoming generations make sense of the world, not indoctrinate young people into believing in, accepting, and becoming active participants in, evil.

Out of sight, out of mind? The real lesson of large numbers of "the homeless" is that government is a malevolent force. “The homeless" are today's symptoms, the schoolchildren targets for a dystopian tomorrow. The “schools” and city of San Jose don't want the children or their parents catching on until it's too late.
______________________________________

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan and others have crafted a new proposed ordinance to address homeless encampments near schools.

]Snip]

The proposal would “prohibit encampments and vehicle dwellings from 150 feet within any licensed preschool, day care, or K-through-12 schools,” Mr. Ortiz said at the event.

[Snip]

Kim Vo, KIPP’s principal, recalls instances of homeless residents who have made their way onto school grounds.

[Horrors! Homeless humans coming onto public property! (How do they check? Demand that everyone walking near schools, daycares, and preschools, have on their person a copy of their lease or mortgage? Papers Dammit!) That's why we have concentration camps. What were once "Reservations", what was once Auschwitz, are called "Homeless Shelters". "Shelter-ing" society from looking at the consequences of not reining in and locking up the monsters acting through “government” that have caused and exacerbated widespread misery.]

[Snip]

They spoke out because they were finding needles on their lunch tables,” Mr. Mahan said during the event. “Our students should not have to face the ramifications of our failure on homelessness.”

[On the other hand, students whacked out on psych drugs is not just a-OK, it's encouraged!]

[Snip]

“We’ve got to create safe places. ... We cannot have a free-for-all on our streets,” Mr. Mahan said.

[And yet it was the same ilk of "school officials" that pushed hard for children to be injected with bioweapons. "Got Myocarditis"? Probably, but if safe/non-invasive testing isn't done, it doesn't exist. Out of sight, out of mind. Again.]

“There are a lot of places to park and camp that don’t have to be right next to a school,”

[Really? Bull! Look at the scope of that proposed "Ordinance" again. Like the laws on "bad drugs" within a certain distance of "schools", daycare facilities, preschools, etc etc etc, there's not much room left for the homeless to live. Guess they'll have to turn themselves in, or stop living. “Funny” how that's the easily predictable final “solution”]

“We’ve got to give our students that peace of mind of having even just a modest buffer around their learning environment.”

[That recurring pattern, Out of sight, out of mind. Catching on, yet?]

Mr. Ortiz noted the seriousness of the situation and the duty he has regarding it.

[But there's no duty to give students critical thinking skills, or training so they can go out and secure a Living Wage Job. No, "schools" are to dumb 'em down and keep 'em infantile.]

Those who think ask questions, questions those in authority do not want asked. They remember who we are, where we come from and where we should go. They remain eternally skeptical and distrustful of power. And they know that this moral independence is the only protection from the radical evil that results from collective unconsciousness. The capacity to think is the only bulwark against any centralized authority that seeks to impose mindless obedience. There is a huge difference, as Socrates understood, between teaching people what to think and teaching them how to think."

Fiery Ring Of Truth

And it burns, burns, burns,
That ring of truth, that ring of truth.

The destruction in Maui has stunk to high heaven from the outset. The nonstop “news” coverage, the body counts inching up a few at a time, For example, the San Francisco Chronically Woke sent out a “breaking news” email at 10:44 am Saturday, announcing that 80 people had died. At 7:53 pm Saturday, the deaths had jumped...to 89. Reminds me of the CV1984 deathwatch in the early days.

Why nothing remotely comparable in the past anywhere in Hawaii? Why it must be...drumroll please...weather! I mean “Climate Change”!

Alarms didn't go off. There's no place to go. You can get a feel for The Official Narrative, spun here by MicroSoft Nobody But Clinton (MSNBC). Predictably, M$NBC doesn't seriously pursue the question of why the alarms didn't sound—not gonna touch those huge elephants in the room named “Premeditation” and “Visuals”. Just enough sauce to season the multi-purpose operation: Push “Climate Change”, while distracting from all the horrific news about the CV1984 bioweapons that has been coming out with increased frequency and documentation. Quite a bit of the interview is spent focused on the “need” to clear away government bureaucracy while simultaneously bringing in more government bureaucrats to speed things up.

Mark Crispin Miller has a short but excellent article out Saturday evening (August 12th), with pictures, fueling the fire of suspicion. Circular fire? Really? The Comments following Mark's article are highly informative as well—such as connecting the dots between the fires in California, Canada, and now Maui..


What kind of "wildfires" burn in a perfect circle, and JUMP OVER WATER, igniting all the boats?

Suiciding Public Education

An eleven-year-old child committed suicide in the bathroom of a public school while unattended.

I can tentatively go along with the decision to bring a Criminal Charge against the teacher. It's an open question whether there is enough evidence to secure a Conviction, and if there's not then Charges shouldn't be brought (I know, I'm old-fashioned).

***IF*** the article is accurate--and often articles like this are nothing more than a regurgitation of press releases and various "leaked" reports—the teacher was derelict in her duties (intentionally malicious; alternatively callous indifference to such a degree that malice can be inferred) such that it rises to the level of a Criminal offense.

But if the teacher is to be Prosecuted, so should the “mental health professionals” who put the child into that condition. Along with the “medical professionals” that gave the child the “vaccines” that likely led to his learning challenges, and likely contributed in other ways as well to his “mental health issues”. Dumped in a public school following inpatient treatment while still being a high risk for suicide? That would be like a cop pulling someone over that was high on booze or methamphetamine, then letting the person drive away.

Schools are supposed to be schools, not sanitariums or “mental health facilities”. It sounds like the child's condition was too precarious and unstable for him to be released from “extended...in-patient treatment” in the first place. Then, instead of being schooled at home, or at a facility constructed to provide constant surveillance, he was dropped into a place that was hardly capable of providing more “in-patient treatment”--all it could really do was monitor symptoms.

Missing from the article, which is par for the course and don't hold your breath waiting for that information to ever come out, is the child's medication history, past and through the day of his demise. That wouldn't let the teacher off the hook, but it would shed light on how far and wide the net should be cast on Prosecuting the "mental health professionals" and “medical professionals” who are likewise culpable.

Amelia Giordano, a music teacher at Carpenter Elementary School, in southeast Wyoming, was slapped with the misdemeanor charge [child endangerment] last month by the Laramie County District Attorney’s office after fifth-grader Paul Pine hanged himself on a bathroom stall coat rack in January — despite school staff being instructed to monitor him in the restroom — the Wyoming Tribune Eagle reported.

[Snip]

In October, Pine, who had struggled with reading and fell behind at school, told his mother, Chandel Pine, 34, that he planned to kill himself in the school’s bathroom.

Chandel Pine said that her son went on an extended leave of absence for in-patient treatment afterward, and she alerted Carpenter Elementary administrators about her son’s mental health issues.

Pine’s mother said that safety plans were put in place afterward, with the principal instructing all staff to not let any fifth-graders go to the restroom unattended.

[Sounds like a concentration camp—If one person breaks the rules, all must suffer the consequences].
____________________

“The surveillance footage showed her just being irritated that he wasn’t answering,” Chandel Pine told The Post.

“The surveillance footage shows her rolling her eyes, putting her hands on her hips, as if irritated. “

“All the while, Paul was dead in the bathroom.”

Negating Nanny

A puff piece from Page 6, which is part of the New York Post. At least this time the "entertainment" is on the entertainment site.

But what are we being entertained with? A dead nanny.

"The circumstances surrounding Katharine McPhee and David Foster’s 'horrible family tragedy' have been revealed.

According to TMZ, their young son’s nanny died unexpectedly, prompting the 'American Idol' alum to pull out of their joint tour in Asia and fly back to the US."
_________________________

In the Comments section, someone asked: "Nanny died? That the secret? "

My reply:

The "secret" is probably what the nanny Died Suddenly of. Will there be any genuine investigative reporting on that, or will that be hidden in the memory hole like all the rest?

Civilized II

"Before our white brothers came to civilize us we had no jails. Therefore we had no criminals. You can't have criminals without a jail. We had no locks or keys, and so we had no thieves. If a man was so poor that he had no horse, tipi or blanket, someone gave him these things. We were too uncivilized to set much value on personal belongings. We wanted to have things only in order to give them away. We had no money, and therefore a man's worth couldn't be measured by it. We had no written law, no attorneys or politicians, therefore we couldn't cheat. We really were in a bad way before the white men came, and I don't know how we managed to get along without these basic things which, we are told, are absolutely necessary to make a civilized society."

Account Restricted

Today's Zuckbook Lunacy: Restricting my account without giving a reason.

Normally the “reason” is buried away in the “Help & Support/Support Inbox”, and FB doesn't bother to send you an email letting you know that you've told too much truth.

In contrast, several months ago I Reported hardcore X videos on an old friend's hacked FB Page, and FB informed me that they didn't violate FB “Community Standards”.

Today, tho, just the pop-up below. Nothing in the “Support Inbox”.

Can you dig it?!? Or make sense of it? Of course not—sociopaths running the asylum don't have to follow any stinkin' rules or use any logic.

Newsom's Educational Fact Evaporation

One of the few informative newsletters from a member of Congress is U.S. Rep. Kevin Kiley's.

From the outset of medical martial law, people with functioning brain cells were warning of the inevitable damage to young people that would result from “distance learning” and all the rest.

But Klaus Schwab's little rodent in Sacramento wants to block the truth, like Bill Gates wants to block the sun.
________________________________________________

Students are suing California over the catastrophic learning loss they suffered from his [Newsom's] COVID shutdown. Two Stanford professors want to testify for the students – but they’re being barred from doing so.

The Department of Education, run by a Newsom ally, told the professors they are forbidden from testifying against the state. To assure their silence, the Department has threatened to block access to education data they need for their research.

It’s so bad the ACLU is preparing to sue California for violating the First Amendment. You can listen to my interview about the cover-up on Armstrong & Getty.

Mind-Altered Mothers

Giving birth is a major disruption to the hormonal system. Some women are better able to recover from giving birth--especially if they were in good health to begin with--than others. Do some new mothers need help? Sure. Do any need Hell? Oh Hell No!

One might hope we might have learned something from Andrea Yates drowning her five children while being completely whacked out on psychiatric drugs. And one would be completely wrong.

While I won't give Tom Cruise an open-ended pass, I'll give him a lot of latitude for human failings for all the good he tried to do in speaking out against psychiatric drugs.

Rather than recommending that mothers be provided quality care from top-notch Endocrinologists (or, since there are so very few of them, alternative researchers that actually know their stuff) the New York Times rolls out its usual, “Drugs Are The Answer” mantra. As if Andrea Yates, and the huge numbers of people maimed and killed by the CV1984 culling—masks, the bioweapon “vaccine”, Remdesivir, Paxlovid, and all the rest—never happened.

It's going to take a while—and a lot of harm—for more of the intended effects (“side effects” my a**) of Zuranolone to be known. But from what is already admitted, why would any intelligent woman take that garbage?

Zuranolone Side Effects

Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction to Zuranolone: hives; difficult [sic] breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Common Zuranolone side effects may include:

Sleepiness
Tiredness
Dizziness
Inflammation of nose and throat
Diarrhea
Urinary tract infection

Also from Drugs.com: “Zuranolone is thought to work by...”. In other words, they don't actually know what the drug is doing. They're just guessing or making stuff up. As is so often the case with pharmaceuticals.

The Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved the first pill for postpartum depression, a milestone considered likely to increase recognition and treatment of a debilitating condition that afflicts about a half-million women in the United States every year.

[Snip]

The hope is that it will encourage more women to seek help and prompt more obstetricians and family doctors to screen for symptoms and suggest counseling or treatment.

"This is a patient population that just so often falls through the cracks,"

[Let's manipulate, and force if necessary, even more women into taking mind-rotting drugs. What could go wrong?]

[Snip]

[T]he F.D.A. did require the label to include warnings about possible suicidal thoughts and behavior, sleepiness and confusion. The label will also include a so-called “black box warning” that patients should not drive or operate heavy machinery for at least 12 hours after taking the pill.

[Snip]

“I’m a huge fan of S.S.R.I.s,” Dr. Reminick said, but noted that many patients resisted trying medication. “I think this will be much easier to get them to just try this for two weeks.”

[Really? A “huge fan”? That's like saying that Mengele was a huge fan of twins! Dr. Peter Breggin has been writing, talking, and testifying about, the horrors of SSRIs for decades.]

[Snip]

The pill was not tested in women who were breastfeeding their babies.

[So like defenseless children injected with the deadly CV1984 “vaccine” for something that, even if it did exist, they weren't at risk of getting, children are going to be given a psych drug and “we'll see what happens”? Got Rope?]

[Snip]

Experts said it was possible that for some patients Zurzuvae would be an adjunct medication or would be used as a bridge to longer-term antidepressants.

[As is typical with a NYT article, to the extent one can find truth tucked away, one usually has to dig deep into the article. And there it is: Zuranolone as a “gateway drug”, as an entryway, to a lifetime of drugging. Hook the fish, drag 'em in for the gutting.

[Snip]

“If it gets more people into treatment, that’s wonderful,” Dr. Nunacs said. “If it doesn’t work, they’re connected with providers and we can try other things. So it opens a door for treatment that has been hard to open in the past.”

[There's the coup de grâce!]
