Kunstler: The Narratives Fail

By James Howard Kunstler
November 29, 2021

"Inevitably, it will be here. The question is will we be prepared for it?” — Dr. Fauci on Omicron

Does it finally look like Dr. Anthony Fauci is trying to carry out an assisted suicide of the United States? On the Sunday Morning TV chat circuit, the White House Covid-19 czar (a.k.a. The Science) declared that the new Omicron variant is “a clarion call” to get people vaccinated. Is that so, Dr. Fauci? Considering how well your “vaccines” work? And how many people have been maimed and killed by their side-effects? (More than all other vaccines combined over the past thirty years.) And how you knavishly outlawed effective and cheap early treatment protocols that would have put Covid-19 down by June of 2020 (and saved half-a-million lives). The Science also called on Sunday for the general re-masking of the public and averred to the possibility of more lockdowns ahead. And just at Christmas-time, you understand. What a nose this rascal has for politics!

Senator Ted Cruz (TX) called for the Department of Justice to prosecute The Science for lying to Congress, which The Science smugly laughed off, perhaps knowing that his world-beating, maliciously incompetent leadership in the Coronavirus saga would end up incriminating and delegitimizing the entire corrupt, Pharma-captured US public health bureaucracy, with collateral damage everywhere else in government — and therefore that no authority in the land would dare to swear him under oath in a court-of-law. Or so he may think for now.

Meanwhile, Virologist Barry Schoub, Chairman of South Africa’s Ministerial Advisory Committee on COVID-19 Vaccines, declared the new Omicron Coronavirus “mild.” Could it be that the whole hoary Covid-19 narrative is falling apart now? Could Dr. Fauci and his sleazy associates in the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the WHO, the Big Pharma C-suites, the grifting university research labs, the despicable social media combine, and yet more sinister outfits such as the CIA and the WEF — might this unholy host of villains and fixers find themselves on-the-run? And might Omicron represent for them some final grasp at the last straw of narrative control?

It’s pretty clear that citizens of the liberal democracies are fed up with being pushed around, jabbed, driven out of business, lied-to, gaslighted, and deprived of their livelihoods. They increasingly can’t believe any of the bullshit issued by the medical establishment and its political hand-maidens, and why should they? The countries with the highest vaccination rates also happen to be the ones with the highest Covid cases. Countries with low vaccination rates and widespread use of early treatment with common drugs have low Covid cases. Two weeks after Japan okayed the use of Ivermectin in mid-November of this year, cases fell from a big surge down to near zero. What part of that is complicated? (bolded for emphasis)

The people are out in the streets all over the world now. They have only begun to express their rage at the Covid narrative-driven new fashion for tyrannical government — government not of, for, and by the people, but over, on top of, and in spite of them. In Austria, an opéra bouffe toyland suddenly inflamed with Nazi-style strong-arming of its own citizens, the cops and the army may be switching their allegiance away from the government to the folks moiling in the streets. This is exactly the kind of country and the type of situation where governments fall. And when Austria goes down, others will follow.

Next door, outgoing German health minister, Jens Spahn, issued a warning that by the end of winter “pretty much everyone in Germany will be vaccinated, recovered or dead.” Was that supposed to be reassuring? Somewhere out in the universe’s recurve of time, the spirit of Dr. Josef Mengele is doing an end-zone dance. Down in Australia two frisky teens called in a threat to behead the premier (i.e., governor) of West Australia (capital: Perth). The world is suddenly remembering the back-story behind the old political phrase heads will roll, namely, what happens to the folks-in-charge when they piss-off enough of the people whose affairs they are responsible for running.

More to the point, to understand what is happening in America, just catch a glimpse of what has happened. By 2019, a rogue faction of bureaucrats was bent on shoving President Donald Trump off the game-board at all costs. Trump had become the fixed object of every anxiety neurosis that afflicted the thinking-governing-and-chattering classes. Conveniently, China also needed to get rid of the Mr. Trump, for interfering with their plans to dominate the planet.

The Trump years were the narrative-formation years, as one plot after another, with their rafts of cockamamie stories — RussiaGate, UkraineGate, TaxGate — was hatched and then elaborated by the worker bees in Cable News and the WashPo / New York Times nexus. Imagine their frustration that those gambits failed. But all that narrative-shaping prepared them for the kill-shot when China gifted the world with Covid-19 (Dr. Anthony Fauci acting as midwife in the delivery). Dr. Fauci then went straight to work turning the splendid opportunity of the pandemic into history’s all-time greatest mindfuck. He did everything possible to prevent public health from controlling the disease, and then foisted on the terrorized public a set of dangerous, untested, gene-therapy treatments that he enjoyed a share of the profits in. His criminal acts have been revealed and fully documented and now he will fall. Wait for it.

The Covid-19 mindfuck worked to distract the country’s attention from the activities of characters like Lawfare avatar Marc Elias of the DNC’s Perkins Coie law firm and Marc Zuckerberg of Facebook, going all around the swing states in 2020 with sacks full of money, arranging election procedures such as mass mail-in voting with no voter ID to facilitate the victory of the obviously non compos mentis empty shell of “Joe Biden”. That did work. Just what the country needed, too, at this perilous moment of history: a fake head-of-state. The people mostly played along for two years until very lately, seeing at last how they have been robbed of their health, their wealth, their future, and very likely their children’s futures. Watch them now as they turn on the ones who made all that happen.

Meet the Technology That's Uncovering 2020's Voter Fraud

By Jay Valentine
November 29, 2021

The search for phantom voters is over. Phantom voters are sitting next to you at the restaurant or standing next to you at the bank. They are your friend and neighbor. You may be a phantom and not know it.

Phantom voters, the definition, is morphing from fake voters hiding in UPS boxes to people who advanced computer models predict will not vote.

Don't get me wrong — there are thousands of phantom voters living in churches, R.V. parks, cemeteries, homeless shelters, hotels, and virtual mailboxes. It's just that there are as many, perhaps more, who live active, healthy, honest lives on voter rolls. They just don't know they voted.

You've heard the stories, denied by the mainstream press and almost every secretary of state: there is no significant voter fraud. Why not say that? There is no way you can check.

Now there is.

After the 2020 election results stopped in the middle of night and vote trajectories magically changed when they fired up again, thousands of people, just like you, didn't buy it. They formed armies of canvassers in 35 or more states. They did something that has not been done at scale in the history of the country: they started checking voter rolls.

They did more. They filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests at unprecedented levels. Secretary of state offices, once a murky sinecure, had to answer real questions about what was going on.

Here's what popped out.

Leftists are different from you and me. Unlike us, they care that every vote is cast, and if you do not cast your vote, they will do it for you. And they did. At scale.

In one midwestern state, voter rolls costing tens of thousands of dollars were bought by a billionaire leftist every month for over a year. Why would someone buy a list that doesn't change much?

Voter lists show people who move. They show people who never or seldom vote.

The white hat canvassing team built a query for one state: "voters who voted in 2020 who never voted before." Guess what! 265,000.

In the same state, thousands of people came forward with stories that when they showed up to vote, they were told someone had voted for them. Get the picture?

In a southwestern state, in its second largest city, there was a 21-day daily tabulation of cast ballots. Once a ballot is cast, it should not be changed. Not here.

When the millions of cast votes across over 21 snapshots were compared, thousands of ballots had been altered. Some were minor alterations, like a slight name change. Others were more interesting — like when someone voted in person, but his vote was later changed by an absentee ballot.

It gets better.

Those FOIA requests are mining gold. Our midwestern state has documents showing that the state election organization gave online access to a leftist group for weeks during the voting. Citizens had to pay over $20,000 for one shapshot of the voter roll. Leftists could, and did, access it online throughout the process. For free.

And access it they did. Witness statements are being gathered, lots of them, that in the largest city, election officials were trading cell calls about how many votes were needed, and someone was then providing the phantoms to meet the quota.

They knew the names of the phantoms — they had direct access to who voted, who didn't, and who was likely to never show up.

This is not exclusively a blue-state phenomenon.

In a deep red state, canvassers found more traditional phantoms.

There were the 21 people at the fraternity house. Nothing to see here — until they sorted them by age. All these kids were active voters, many voted, and their age range was from 115 to 57. Some frat house.

These red-state canvassers went deeper. They showed that the phantoms did not vote en masse in the 2020 presidential election. Phew! Feeling better. But wait. They vote in droves in state, county, municipal elections.

Aha — here was another interesting pattern, never seen before.

This deep red state that voted for Trump by double-digit margins did not call out its phantom army when it could not move the needle. When local, state elections were up, well, those people voted — even the 21 at the county jail and the 41 registered at the Recreation Commission.

In earlier American Thinker articles, we created the phrase "sovereign fraud." That means your government is in on it.

As more than 35 state citizen organization now are using the most advanced search and big data technology to look into voter rolls, and cross-check them with churches, R.V. parks, fictitious street locations, they are concluding the office of secretary of state is corrupt, incompetent, or often both.

Let's take incompetent.

In about every state, there are voters old enough to have fought in the Civil War, and they still vote. In one state, there are voters -- a bunch of them older than Julius Caesar — the Roman guy.

States have voter rolls with multiple people using the same voter ID. When pressed, they have some screwy excuse that it's a sequencing anomaly. At least one state adds every new voter to the end of its voter ID sequence, as one would expect. Except when it doesn't. These people have numbers that skip by two and later ten, and they insert voters there, not at the end.

There are hundreds I have personally seen, thus thousands in every state — examples of 16 people, with different last names, living in that one-bedroom, 876-square-foot house. Really?

Let's go to corrupt.

Secretaries of state, when pressed to cough up those voter rolls, after the confiscatory price is paid, change the data in such a way that it cannot be searched with traditional technology. Tough luck for them; our canvassing friends have search technology five generations ahead, so it gets done.

Canvassers in 35 or more states are digging, and the more they find, the more relentless they become. We are pleased to provide technology that runs a thousand times faster than anything available to any secretary of state or leftist voter fraud group.

These canvassing organizations are the Minutemen of this generation. They come from every background, organize with no central leadership. They blindly figured out how phantom voting was happening, and they are forcing states to audit their voter rolls.

They aren't blind anymore. They are organized. They have resources and technology, and things are about to change in a big way for phantoms.

You can now see if you have been "phantomed."

New Research Confirms Substantially Elevated Cardiovascular Risks from Covid Vaccine

New Research Confirms Substantially Elevated Cardiovascular Risks from Covid Vaccine

By Marc G. Wathelet

Virologist Marc Wathelet has put into ordinary words for us an important article, “mRNA COVID Vaccines Dramatically Increase Endothelial Inflammatory Markers and ACS Risk as Measured by the PULS Cardiac Test: a Warning”, by the group of Dr. Steven R. Gundry, eminent cardiologist that can be found here: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1161/circ.144.suppl_1.10712

This group of researchers are using a validated test, which is based on biological markers and which can predict the risk of an acute coronary syndrome within 5 years. This study concerns a population of 566 individuals aged 28 to 97 years, followed for 8 years already in a longitudinal study, a type of study which allows researchers to detect evolutions or changes in the characteristics of the target population at the same time at the group level and at the individual level.

The risk of a 5-year cardiac event observed before vaccination was 11% over this 8-year period. After the COVID vaccination, this risk rose to 25%, which is a huge increase!

This is not about comparing groups of individuals as in a randomized controlled trial, which may introduce confounding factors. As each patient serves as his own control, these confounding factors are eliminated and the results obtained are therefore very robust. These clinical observations are consistent with pharmacovigilance data which show a dramatic increase in thrombosis, cardiomyopathy and other vascular events following vaccination.

At the time of this report, these changes persist for at least 2.5 months after the second dose of vaccine. If these changes were to persist over time, we can expect a veritable epidemic of heart attacks in the years to come, in the order of many tens of thousand heart attacks above the norm over 5 years for a country the size of Belgium.

These changes may subside in the months that follow, but in all likelihood taking any additional dose could only increase the risk of acute coronary syndrome even further.

There is only one conclusion: it is absolutely necessary to stop the vaccination campaign. And for those who are already vaccinated, it is important not to do a third dose.(BD's bolding for emphasis) Primum non nocere: first do no harm. Let us remember that an acute coronary syndrome is fatal 90% of the time!

Something that never happens in America anymore is saving two Ohio counties in free fall

2 Ohio counties combat population losses

By Salena Zito
Nov 28, 2021 12:45 AM

MARTINS FERRY, Ohio — What happened in this Belmont County city never happens anymore in Appalachia. In fact, it rarely happens anywhere in America.

Two years after the East Ohio Regional Hospital shut its doors after 114 years of serving the people of this region, the doors opened again this spring.

“Nobody opens hospitals anymore,” said Bernie Albertini, the administrator and chief operating officer at East Ohio. The Wheeling native, who has been running hospitals most of his professional career, came out of early retirement when Dayton native Dr. John Johnson decided to invest in the community and reopen the facility this spring.

The astonishing development brought more than 500 jobs — 100 more than had worked in the hospital previously — as well as hope and life to a community that had feared the closing might be the final straw that could break the proverbial camel’s back.

Mr. Albertini, a fellow with the American College of Healthcare Executives, said he called the organization looking for anyone who had opened a hospital recently; they essentially said, “Good luck.”

When East Ohio closed, Mr. Albertini said the news and impact were devastating in a region that has become all too used to loss. Belmont County and neighboring Jefferson County are among several in the Ohio Valley that have suffered significant population losses since the slow death of American manufacturing began in the 1970s. Population numbers plunged again in the latest census, with Belmont losing an additional 5.5 percent of its people and Jefferson 6.4 percent. That population loss will bring more loss — specifically in political clout in Washington because the state will lose another congressional seat.

The closing of East Ohio Hospital left locals without easy access to an emergency room, doctors’ offices and surgical procedures, a lack of access Mr. Albertini says is an epidemic in rural America.

He admits he had to be nudged a bit to take the daunting job of reviving the defunct regional hospital.

“When I walked into the hospital with a security guard and a flashlight after it had been closed for two years, it was like walking into a post-apocalyptic horror movie, complete with light fixtures hanging from the ceiling and walls peeling away,” he said of the tour he took before he took the job.

Last week, there were nursing students from Jefferson County’s Eastern Gateway Community College doing rounds amid the bustle in the brightly-lit hallways, as well as some fanfare over a Starbucks coffee shop in the lobby about to open.

Mr. Albertini calls the hospital’s reopening a game changer.

Hospitals are economic drivers, he said: “It is not just the people who work here, it is all of the local businesses we do business with; we are a true job creator. We use United Dairy, which is across the street from the hospital, where we get all of our dairy products. We use Martins Ferry Hardware. We buy our office supplies from Borden Office Supply up in East Liverpool,” he said, reeling off a long list of local small businesses the hospital chooses to support over large, out-of-state suppliers.

Whether you walk along the main street of Martins Ferry, or Mingo Junction, or Steubenville, a fascinating mix of deep roots, connection, pride and sense of community competes with the reality of shuttered storefronts and an exodus of young people.

The steel mills that lined the Ohio River here literally rebuilt the country at the dawn of the 20th Century. That industrial vitality is largely gone, and figuring out how to stem the losses has eluded civic leaders for generations.

Both Mr. Albertini here in Belmont and Robert Naylor, the executive director of the Jefferson County Port Authority, are looking at the problems with fresh eyes and an understanding that it takes their communities’ civic leaders and stakeholders working in unison to make change.

Mr. Albertini says the path forward should be recognizing the importance of small steps rather than pining for one big thing to swoop in and save everything.

Mr. Naylor points to two very different yet very important areas of opportunity for his county: higher education and manufacturing.

“JSW Steel in Mingo Junction is working on modernizing their facility; currently they employ over 300 people, and we are working with them on other projects so that they can continue to develop a parcel there and expand their production.” In the same way that Mr. Albertini views the hospital opening, Mr. Naylor also calls JSW’s commitment to expand a “game changer.”

On the benefits of higher education, Mr. Naylor says not only does Eastern Gateway Community College provide workforce development jobs like nursing and welding that keep young people close to their roots, Franciscan University in Steubenville retains some who never considered living here before.

Tommy Valentine, 27, is one of them. The Virginia native came to Steubenville to attend Franciscan; he got his degree in history and never left. “You know, I went to the university and never thought I’d live here. I thought I’d do my four years and then get out. As I got to know this town, felt the sense of community, I never wanted to leave.”

Mr. Valentine, who works for a Catholic political group, said the ability to find an affordable home was also appealing, “and a good quality of life; a lot has been done here in Steubenville to try to revitalize. You know, we’ll never be what it was, but to try to revitalize the town into something good — and be part of it — is what is so appealing.”

Mr. Albertini says correcting the shrinking populations in counties like Belmont and Jefferson is a lot like being in the health-care industry: “It’s a tough business to be in, the margins are low, the equipment to maintain it is expensive.” A lot like small cities in rural counties trying to keep their heads above water.

Mr. Albertini said when Dr. Johnson bought the hospital, he asked him, “Why of all the places in the world he picked this town and this hospital, when everyone else was betting against them?

“He said this was his experiment to prove that if you capitalize a small rural hospital and run it right, it can survive and thrive and actually stand up to — and compete with — the big hospitals of the world,” Mr. Albertini said.

It is an experiment that could possibly apply to the fortunes of small towns across America.
