It concealed a depression, but for how much longer?

In late 2019, Wall Street ran out of money. Nobody talked about this. The media briefly blubbered about it for all of about a week, before they were practically gagged.

If you were one of the robber barons, how would you prevent Occupy Wall Street 2.0?

ESG/Woke initiatives are how they've been working to prevent OWS 2.0 since 2010. Covid was a cherry on top.

Boom.

BlackRock pitched "Going Direct" Aug 2019 to increase inflation target (through FED printing) so these sociopaths could seize assets at the right time (lockdown, print money) from the middle class.

Just came back to reread this letter, it's as relevant as ever.

Thank you for the updates to it, they prove true. Thank you for writing it.

I remember reading it for the first time and how it all it into place, especially the sepsis.

It came out when I was writing threads on twitter showing that the sheer stress from the ventilators would upregulate cellular ACE2 and increase viral destruction of the lungs, very timely.

It also confirms (imo) my research on the toxicity of the spike protein, it's chimeric nature as a lab created bioweapon, and the relevance of its gene sequence homologs of animal venom toxins in the spike., and the resulting bleeding/clotting mechanisms they induce, which are similar to envenomation. Thanks again. -@Jaineysez

Dear ICENI,

you may remember me from another online talking space, which one doesn't really matter. I just wanted to let you know that there is some movement happening in the underground. The OSINT meme is starting to gain some traction and a fair amount of anons seem to want to contribute. Tools are being developing as we speak, and near the end of the week we will probably launch a test run. I would suggest to come check it out as it may prove to become a valuable resource to your work in the future.

I won't go deeper into it here but if you want to find out more, drop me an email and I'll re-direct you.

Kind regards,

Anon

Hi, I sent an email from my Hushmail account. Did it go through? We've been having some odd email delivery issues.

Good Day,

Have you heard of Disroot.org?

Check it out. They are stand up for my email account. They have a lot of other services. Support is slow as it is Open Source and all volunteer.

Wishing you the best to find a home for your work. Disroot.org maybe that home.

I posted this on my original Google blog last September, but I now prefer the Substack version, since Google deleted (then replaced) my blog week before last for some unspecified infraction.

Great summary (actually a bit more than a summary…), thanks! Thoughts on Omicron? (Asking for a friend ;-) who is unvaxxed and 4 days into an infection, with very mild symptoms…)

Had it. Got over it. I took various antioxidants, along with Pepcid and Benadryl, and the muscle aches went away immediately. I personally recommend Vitamin D, NAC, glycine, selenium, quercetin, resveratrol, famotidine, diphenhydramine, and Kutki Powder (a very powerful herbal antioxidant rich in polyphenols). CBD oil showed antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects against COVID-19 in vitro, but there haven't really been follow-up studies. If someone is sent home from the hospital with mild COVID-19 symptoms without a prescription for anything other than bed rest, they absolutely should take matters into their own hands and fortify their system with harmless OTC supplements. At that point, their doctor has failed to treat them. Everyone should be taking vitamin D regularly anyway, since a substantial portion of the population is critically deficient. COVID-19 overloads the redox capacity of the body, leading to lipid peroxidation, inflammation, and cell death. Glutathione, selenium, and vitamin D deficiencies are common among patients with the most severe illness, as are comorbidities like diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity, which all point to the same thing; redox equilibrium issues in the vascular endothelium. Pepcid and Benadryl are not just antihistamines. They're also antioxidants. Famotidine interrupts the Fenton reaction and prevents the iron-driven oxidation of lipids.

👍 Thanks so much for the response! Actually the ‘friend’ is me… I tested positive 4 days ago and my wife became symptomatic and positive a day later, but we’ve been on a prophylactic regime of VitD+K2, VitC, Quercetin, Zinc, NAC and Black Seed Oil for the best part of a year. We’ve now amped up the VitD to 20,000iu since the positive test plus added 3 days of IVM. Doing regular nasal rinses and gargling with Betadine. Unfortunately Famotidine is only available on script in NZ and I doubt whether my GP would give me one given his capitulation to the narrative. Are there other over-the-counter antihistamines/anti-oxidants? Will check out Benadryl, but I think that has different formulations in NZ… It needs to be said, that both of us are in relatively good shape and have experienced a lot worse ‘colds’ in the past…

I would avoid taking excessively high levels of Vitamin D. 5000 IU daily should be more than enough for most people. 10,000 to 20,000 IU risks hypercalcemia, or elevated blood calcium, which will make you feel fatigued. Vitamin D activates a little pump in cells called Calcium ATPase that pumps out calcium from the intracellular space to the extracellular space. This has some potent antioxidant effects. After all, elevated calcium levels in cells promotes ROS release.

Redox imbalances are central to all sorts of bad stuff happening in blood vessels, from endothelial dysfunction to atherosclerosis. Premature aging of blood vessels due to chronic oxidative stress is a real killer. Vitamin D deficiency makes it substantially worse.

Two of the best things for severe COVID prevention, in my opinion, are simply exercise and a balanced diet including foods rich in Vitamin D, cysteine, selenium, and dietary nitrate, some of the major dietary redox regulators.

Reactive oxygen species cause damage by stealing electrons from the stuff that you're made out of. Oxidation is the exact same chemical process as rust, fire, or bleaching. Oxygen in air reacts with iron to make iron oxide. Fire is when oxidation happens so rapidly, it creates light, heat, and a vapor layer. Bleach oxidizes dirt in clothing, making it appear white. Reactive oxygen species in the body oxidize fats and DNA.

Antioxidants work like a fire break. They are reducing agents. They sacrifice their electrons to reactive oxygen species in place of your fats and DNA. Many enzymes in the body that detoxify ROS require specific nutrients as fuel for the oxidation-reduction reactions, particularly selenium, cysteine, glutathione, etc. These substances are referred to as enzyme substrates. This is part of why we think COVID-19 preys on people with malnutrition/hidden hunger. There are lots of people in first-world countries who eat a carbohydrate-rich, nutrient-poor diet, not realizing it leaves them very vulnerable to various diseases.

Spartacus, what is the mechanism that allows testosterone blockers to help men in ICU. Thank you for explaining mechanisms to help educate our patients! Priceless 😊😘

The notion of testosterone blockers helping with COVID-19 essentially comes from the observation that the virus appears less severe in women, with a potential hormonal difference playing a role in immune modulation. The strange thing about this is that testosterone is actually anti-inflammatory in certain contexts.

Folks aren't even sure exactly why these hormone differences contribute to differences in illness severity.

Thank you for the study and response. Interestingly, progesterone seems to be protective in pregnancy from severe illness as long as the patient doesn’t develop preeclampsia or have comorbities. I also noticed patients with metabolic syndrome and or polycystic ovarian syndrome are at risk for severe disease either due to obesity and /or lower progesterone levels.

Actually high dose vitamin-D 200,000 - 300,000 units orally, once, has been well studied. People who have not been taking 5000-10,000 units per day for a long time (months), and who do not know their blood level (almost always low, unless surfing daily) can safely take this dose once, and expect a normal blood level in 3 days, which will gradually wane over the next month.
