Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus, part twenty-four

The heretofore nonexistent word “plandemic,” which was coined as the title of a movie about Wuhan Virus produced by an anti-vaccine activist named Del Bigtree, has been used a great deal in the previous twenty-three parts of this series, first part of which appeared on March 25, 2020. By now, of course, it should be very clear to anyone with a modicum of intellectual honesty that the worldwide Covid-19 “pandemic” was planned, at least in its broad outlines if not in all the specifics, as the means to prey on the fears of mortal men and, with this fear of a virus that, if treated in its early stages and treated properly in a manner befitting the case history of each patient, is not deadly in most cases, would enable globalists to imprison, impoverish, brainwash, and then reprogram the world’s citizenry to accept what the “experts” told them to believe and to do.

The general outline of this planned pandemic and its aftermath was, as noted in several previous parts of this series, in Event 201, which was held at the Hotel Saint Pierre in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, New York, on Friday October 18, 2019, the Feast of Saint Luke the Evangelist, less than two months before the bioengineered “gain of function” SARS-CoV-2 virus was released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which had received funding for this work from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases. It is therefore worth reviewing Event 201 once again as a prelude to this relatively short commentary that will conclude this series:

Event 201 was a 3.5-hour pandemic tabletop exercise that simulated a series of dramatic, scenario-based facilitated discussions, confronting difficult, true-to-life dilemmas associated with response to a hypothetical, but scientifically plausible, pandemic. 15 global business, government, and public health leaders were players in the simulation exercise that highlighted unresolved real-world policy and economic issues that could be solved with sufficient political will, financial investment, and attention now and in the future.

The exercise consisted of pre-recorded news broadcasts, live “staff” briefings, and moderated discussions on specific topics. These issues were carefully designed in a compelling narrative that educated the participants and the audience.

The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, World Economic Forum, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation jointly propose these recommendations.

Purpose

In recent years, the world has seen a growing number of epidemic events, amounting to approximately 200 events annually. These events are increasing, and they are disruptive to health, economies, and society. Managing these events already strains global capacity, even absent a pandemic threat. Experts agree that it is only a matter of time before one of these epidemics becomes global—a pandemic with potentially catastrophic consequences. A severe pandemic, which becomes “Event 201,” would require reliable cooperation among several industries, national governments, and key international institutions.

Recent economic studies show that pandemics will be the cause of an average annual economic loss of 0.7% of global GDP—or $570 billion. The players’ responses to the scenario illuminated the need for cooperation among industry, national governments, key international institutions, and civil society, to avoid the catastrophic consequences that could arise from a large-scale pandemic.

Similar to the Center’s 3 previous exercises—Clade X, Dark Winter, and Atlantic Storm—Event 201 aimed to educate senior leaders at the highest level of US and international governments and leaders in global industries.

It is also a tool to inform members of the policy and preparedness communities and the general public. This is distinct from many other forms of simulation exercises that test protocols or technical policies of a specific organization. Exercises similar to Event 201 are a particularly effective way to help policymakers gain a fuller understanding of the urgent challenges they could face in a dynamic, real-world crisis.

Scenario

Details about the scenario are available here.

Recommendations

The next severe pandemic will not only cause great illness and loss of life but could also trigger major cascading economic and societal consequences that could contribute greatly to global impact and suffering. The Event 201 pandemic exercise, conducted on October 18, 2019, vividly demonstrated a number of these important gaps in pandemic preparedness as well as some of the elements of the solutions between the public and private sectors that will be needed to fill them. The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, World Economic Forum, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation jointly propose these recommendations.

Just a coincidence?

World economic collapse?

Controlling the movement of citizens?

Effectively suspending all legitimate liberties found in the Order of Creation (Nature), no less the various provisions of national constitutions?

Just a coincidence?

These are the sorts of questions that will answered definitively only on the Last Day at the General Judgment of the Living and the Dead.

However, I find it very interesting that Event 201 was funded by the “Open Philanthropy Project,” which itself is the brainchild of people named Cari Tuna and her husband, Dustin Moskowitz, a billion co-founder of that horrific thing called “Facebook.” Cari Tuna and Dustin Moskowitz just happen to be major funders of the pro-abortion, pro-perversity, pro-statism, pro-everything evil organized crime family of the naturalist “left,” not that the members false opposite of the naturalist “right” really support the inviolability of all innocent human life without exceptions or have done anything but cave to the homosexualist agenda that is destructive of souls and thus of entire nations.

Here is an excerpt about Dustin Moskowitz as found on Wikipedia:

Moskovitz co-founded the philanthropic organization Good Ventures with his girlfriend (and now wife) Cari Tuna in 2011.[15] In June 2012, Good Ventures announced a close partnership with charity evaluator GiveWell. Both organizations "are aiming to do as much good as possible" and thereby align with the goals of effective altruism.[16][17] Good Ventures has donated approximately $100 million from 2011 onward to GiveWell top charities Against Malaria Foundation, GiveDirectly, Schistosomiasis Control Initiative, and Deworm the World Initiative, as well as standout charities (see Good Ventures for more) and other effective altruist organizations.[18]

The joint collaboration with GiveWell led to a spinoff called the Open Philanthropy Project, whose goal is to figure out the best possible way to use large sums of money (starting with Moskovitz's multi-billion-dollar fortune) to do the most good. The Open Philanthropy Project has since become a separate organization, and continuously increases its annual giving, having made over $170 million in grants in 2018 alone (see Open Philanthropy Project#Grants made for more).

Moskovitz and Tuna are also the youngest couple to sign Bill Gates and Warren Buffett’s Giving Pledge, which commits billionaires to giving away most of their wealth in the form of philanthropy.

Moskovitz has voted for the Democratic Party candidates in each election in which he has voted, but he wrote: "Though we've voted for the Democratic nominee each of the times we've cast a ballot, we've considered ourselves independent thinkers who respect candidates and positions from both sides of the aisle." Prior to their donation for the 2016 election cycle, Moskovitz and Tuna had donated roughly $10,000 over their lifetime to federal candidates, most of it to Sean Eldridge, the husband of Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes.

For the 2016 United States Presidential election, Moskovitz announced that he and his wife would donate $20 million to support Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party nominee, arguing that the dangers of a Donald Trump presidency are significant, and that they were making their donation despite being skeptical of allowing large donors to influence election cycles through money. The New York Times quoted Moskovitz's blog post on the subject: "The Republican Party, and Donald Trump in particular, is running on a zero-sum vision, stressing a false contest between their constituency and the rest of the world." This made him the third-largest donor in the 2016 campaigns. (Dustin Moskovitz. Another report that discusses Moskovitz’s largesse to Madame Defarge can be found at Who is Dustin Moskovitz, who just cover Hillary and the Democrats $20 million?)

Just a coincidence?

I do not think so, especially since enough is known now to state the following:

First, evidence has now emerged that the tyrannical, murderous Chicom thugs deliberately released the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the Wuhan Institute of Virology to produce a global “pandemic” that would conform Western nations more closely to their own repressive form of social control, being aided and abetted in that effort by the so-called World Health Organization:

The Chinese government intentionally manufactured and released the COVID-19 virus that led to mass shutdowns and deaths across the world, a top virologist and whistleblower told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday.

Carlson specifically asked Dr. Li-Meng Yan whether she believed the Chinese Communist Party released the virus "on purpose." "Yes, of course, it's intentionally," she responded on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

Yan said more evidence would be released but pointed to her own high-ranking position at a World Health Organization reference lab as a reason to trust her allegation.

"I work[ed] in the WHO reference lab, which is the top coronavirus lab in the world, in the University of Hong Kong. And the thing is I get deeply into such investigation in secret from the early beginning of this outbreak. I had my intelligence because I also get my own unit network in China, involved [in] the hospital ... also I work with the top corona[virus] virologist in the world," she said.

"So, together with my experience, I can tell you, this is created in the lab ... and also, it is spread to the world to make such damage."

Yan's comments conflicted with the opinion of Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and White House coronavirus adviser, who previously cast doubt on the idea the virus was artificially created. In May, he told National Geographic: "If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats, and what's out there now is very, very strongly leaning toward this [virus] could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated — the way the mutations have naturally evolved."

Other scientists have panned the idea that COVID-19 served as a sort of bioweapon or was released by a lab.

Fox News previously reported on Yan back in July, when she blew the whistle on China's alleged attempts to suppress information about its handling of the virus. With a vast network of contacts in Chinese medical facilities, Yan attempted to gather more information about the virus as China blocked overseas experts from conducting research in the country.

Her revelations fueled ongoing complaints that the Chinese government failed to tell the world early on about the virus' threat. Specifically, she believes the Chinese government ignored research that could have saved lives. The State Department did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

In response, her former employer, the University of Hong Kong, criticized her account. A press release noted "that the content of the said news report does not accord with the key facts as we understand them."

"Specifically, Dr Yan never conducted any research on human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus at [the University of Hong Kong] during December 2019 and January 2020, her central assertion of the said interview."

Yan, who said she was one of the first scientists in the world to study the novel coronavirus, fled China and currently fears retaliation. She was allegedly asked by her supervisor at the University/WHO reference lab, Dr. Leo Poon, in 2019 to look into the odd cluster of SARS-like cases coming out of mainland China at the end of December 2019. (Chinese virologist: China's government 'intentionally' released COVID-19.)

Although not stating the matter quite so bluntly as had Li-Meng Yan to Tucker Carlson when the latter was still on the Murdoch Disinformation Network, sometimes referred to as the Fox News Channel, a subcommittee of the United States House of Representatives has issued a long report stating that there can no longer be any doubt as to the fact that the SARS CoV-2 virus originated from the gain-of-function research being conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology:

WASHINGTON — Today, Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) issued an interim staff report detailing the Select Subcommittee’s comprehensive investigation into the suppression of the lab-leak hypothesis by America’s leading public health officials through the drafting, publication, and critical reception of the infamous “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” (“Proximal Origin”) publication. The report titled “The Proximal Origin of a Cover-Up: Did the ‘Bethesda Boys’ Downplay a Lab Leak?” reveals extensive influence by the NIH and the flawed analysis combined with an alarming lack of evidence that led the paper’s co-authors to argue in support of a zoonotic origin.

“America’s leading health officials vilified and suppressed the lab leak theory in pursuit of a preferred, coordinated narrative that was not based in truth or science. The Select Subcommittee’s report proves that the conclusions championed by the co-authors of Proximal Origin are not only inaccurate, but were crafted to appease a stated political motive,” said Chairman Wenstrup. “Stifling scientific discourse and labeling those who believe in the possibility of a lab-leak as ‘conspiracy theorists’ caused irrefutable harm to public trust in our health officials. Americans deserve to know why honesty, transparency, and facts were abandoned. Our report is devoted to achieving that goal.”

Included in the report are previously unrevealed Slack messages and emails between the co-authors, unabridged transcripts of interviews with every U.S.-based contributor to the paper, and a detailed analysis of the coordinated effort to suppress the lab-leak theory.

Key findings from the report:

Dr. Fauci, Dr. Collins, and the NIH exerted undue influence over the drafting and publication of “Proximal Origin.” Specifically, Dr. Fauci suggested the drafting of a paper regarding the lab leak theory to Dr. Andersen twice, while Dr. Collins pushed for publication and approved of the substance of “Proximal Origin.” The co-authors were so comfortable with the NIH’s involvement that they coined the name “Bethesda Boys” to describe the nation’s leading health officials.
“Proximal Origin” co-authors skewed available evidence when executing Dr. Fauci’s vision of a single narrative. The facts and science relied upon to draw conclusions in “Proximal Origin” have never been proven or verified. Many of the arguments championed by the publication suffer from inaccurate assumptions and obvious inconsistencies.
Dr. Anderson made it clear the co-authors allowed politics to influence the science behind “Proximal Origin”. In private slack messages, Dr. Anderson said, “Although I hate when politics is injected into science – but it’s impossible not to, especially given the circumstances.” The co-authors and Dr. Collins also attempted to downplay the lab leak theory seemingly motivated by an interest to defend China and play diplomat.
Nature initially rejected “Proximal Origin” because it didn’t sufficiently downplay the lab leak theory. The co-authors amended their paper to include stronger language that would unequivocally rule out the lab-leak hypothesis to ensure approval by Nature Medicine. Read a full history of the drafts leading up to the final “Proximal Origin” publication here.
Investigating any egregious COVID-19 cover-up is essential to preserving future scientific integrity. “Proximal Origin” is the 5^th most impactful scientific paper in history. To date, it has been accessed over 5.8 million times and cited over 2,800 times. Given its colossal reach and its dubious conclusioCns, it is necessary to analyze the process and publication of this paper to prevent the suppression of scientific discourse in future pandemics.
The Select Subcommittee’s investigation is not over. There are still outstanding requests for transcribed interviews and documents from Dr. Fauci and Dr. Collins. The Select Subcommittee will follow through on these requests.

Yes, American policymakers have been “selling the rope” to the Red Chinese Communists ever since President Richard Milhous Nixon’s Shanghai Communique on February 27, 1972

Yet it is, of course, that none of this matters to the titans of the multinational corporations that have made hundreds of billions of dollars by shifting American manufacturing plants and jobs to Red China since President Richard Milhous Nixon and Red Chinese Premier Chou Enlai announced the Shanghai Communique on February 27, 1972:Both sides view bilateral trade as another area from which mutual benefit can be derived, and agreed that economic relations based on equality and mutual benefit are in the interest of the people of the two countries. They agree to facilitate the progressive development of trade between their two countries. (Shanghai Communique, February 27, 1972. Shanghai Communique.)

Yes, the infamous population-controller himself, President Richard Milhous Nixon (see Poster Boy of Modernity), who was playing the “China Card” against the Soviet Union when he visited Red China from February 21, 1972, to February 28, 1972, that resulted in the aforementioned "Shanghai Communique,” was the one who started the process of “normalizing” diplomatic relations, a process completed by the Great Appeaser, James Earl Carter, Jr., on December 15, 1978.

As noted just above, an important part of the Shanghai Communique was the beginning of commercial ties between the United States of America and the “People’s Republic of China.” Those who supported the sellout of the Republic of China on Taiwan and the beginning of commercial ties with the Chicoms said repeatedly that Red China would become “democratized” over the course of time. This is the same delusion that led some "conservatives" to look favorably upon Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro's efforts to normalize relations with the murderous Castro regime of Cuba, efforts that were brokered by Jorge the Red Himself, the Great Appeaser of all that is false, ugly and evil in the world today.

What drove the American opening to Red China forty-four years ago was not a quest for "liberty." It was a quest for dollars, and since that time multinational corporations have partnered with the Chicoms to exploit Chinese workers, most of whom work for amounts from fifty cents to a dollar an hour in substandard working conditions as they manufacture products filled with a veritable panoply of toxins and slipshod materials. As was the case when the thirteen English colonies up and down the Atlantic Ocean seaboard in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries, the career politicians, bankers, industrialists and other titans of industry, trade and commerce have engineered a situation that has created a new mercantile system based upon the shipment of this country's grain, meat, produce and other raw materials (e.g. cotton and lumber) to be shipped to Red China in order to be produced in final products that are then imported back to the United States of America as Red Chinese laborers work for low wages in wretched conditions and bankers and titans of commerce and industry make lots and lots of money.

One of the plandemic’s key goals was, as stated earlier, to “transform” the so-called “civilized” West, which has become noted for state-indemnified shoplifting, violent assaults, burglaries, armed robberies, and even outright murder as a result of the dehumanization of the innocent preborn child in the sanctuary of his mother’s womb that has made possible the dehumanization of everyone else, into a virtual mirror image of Red China, whose Communist government is based on the atheism and thus of the denial of basic human dignity. It is a relatively easy thing to dehumanize people during a “pandemic” by means of lockdowns and mask mandates after having accustomed them not to accept the inviolability of innocent human from conception until death.

Second, as is well known by now, Western governments sought to suppress any opposition to their globalist schemes, to their lies, and to their leaders’ assurances that the “vaccines” developed under former President Donald John Trump’s Operation Warp Speed were “safe” and “effective.”

This scheme of censorship and suppression of dissent was denounced in an extraordinary order issued by Judge Terry Doughty of the United States District Court for the District of Northern Louisiana on July 4, 2023:

A federal judge has blocked Biden administration officials from contacting social media companies in a landmark order targeting government censorship and suppression of online postings.

US District Court Judge Terry Doughty, a Trump appointee, determined Tuesday that the White House likely colluded with Big Tech to censor protected speech during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“During … a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth,’” Doughty wrote in his 155-page order.

The judge concluded that the plaintiffs, led by the states of Missouri and Louisiana, were likely to succeed and issued a preliminary injunction limiting dozens of Biden administration officials from attempting to coordinate with social media giants to remove content.

Officials subject to the injunction include White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, employees of the Justice Department and FBI, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.

The case was brought forth by Republican Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and former Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who is now a GOP senator from the Show-Me State.

Schmitt and Landry alleged in their suit that the government infringed the First Amendment and cited a litany of examples as backup, including the suppression of The Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden and discussion of the so-called COVID-19 lab leak theory.

“Ultimately, Defendants contend that Plaintiffs have not shown that the choice to suppress free speech must in law be deemed to be that of the government. This Court disagrees,” Doughty noted.

During proceedings in the case, top former Biden administration officials such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and onetime White House press secretary Jen Psaki were summoned for depositions.

At one point in his 155-page order, Doughty underscored that “each example or category of suppressed speech was conservative in nature,” which he called “quite telling.”

In one example the judge cited, White House director of digital strategy Rob Flaherty asked Twitter to remove a parody account meant to be Finnegan Biden, the president’s granddaughter and offspring of Hunter Biden.

“Cannot stress the degree to which this needs to be resolved immediately,” Flaherty’s Feb. 6, 2021, request read. “Please remove this account immediately.” According to the ruling, the parody was zapped within 45 minutes of the request.

“This targeted suppression of conservative ideas is a perfect example of viewpoint discrimination of political speech,” Doughty wrote. “American citizens have the right to engage in free debate about the significant issues affecting the country … the evidence produced thus far depicts an almost dystopian scenario.”

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey cheered Doughty’s decree, which is subject to appeal.

“The Court has granted our motion to BLOCK top officials in the federal government from violating the First Amendment rights of millions of Americans,” Bailey tweeted. “What a way to celebrate Independence Day.”

A White House official told The Post Tuesday that the Department of Justice is reviewing the injunction and “will evaluate its options.”

“This Administration has promoted responsible actions to protect public health, safety, and security when confronted by challenges like a deadly pandemic and foreign attacks on our elections,” the official said. “Our consistent view remains that social media platforms have a critical responsibility to take account of the effects their platforms are having on the American people, but make independent choices about the information they present.” (Judge restricts Biden officials from colluding with Big Tech)

At the heart of the collusion between the Federal government of the United States of America and “Big Tech,” Big Media,” and “Big Pharma” is the nefarious double-dealing admirer of Red China and Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, Anthony Fauci, who is himself admired by none other than Jorge Mario Bergoglio (who is better known by his stage name of “Pope Francis”):

A newly-unredacted missive from Dr. Anthony Fauci suggesting the COVID-19 pandemic may have been grounded in gain-of-function research is proof positive of an extensive "cover-up," according to a former State Department pandemic investigator.

On Friday, Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum's team on "The Story" delved deeper into messaging from Fauci at the suggestion of a former top COVID policy official in the Trump administration, after the House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released more unredacted documents this week.

The letter in question had been nearly completely redacted, save for about the first line. Fauci wrote to "folks" that the viral sequence found in the coronavirus strain contained "mutations in the virus that would have been most unusual to have evolved naturally in bats," adding there had been "suspicion that this mutation was intentionally inserted…"

According to new parts of the letter read on "The Story" by MacCallum, Fauci went on to say that upon further "considerable discussion, some of the scientists felt more strongly about this possibility. Two others felt differently, but they felt it was entirely conceivable that it could have evolved naturally with these mutations."

"He's even quoted as saying in 2012, if a pandemic should occur, if a scientist should be bitten by an animal and the virus gets out of the lab, it would be worth the knowledge," Paul said at the time.

At the time Paul also cited emails he had viewed between Fauci and his fellow now-retired health bureaucrat, then-NIH Director Francis Collins, that the situation would not be good for China or for science.

"[They] mean[t] it wouldn't be good for the business of science, for the money that changes hands," Paul said.

In a 2021 Senate hearing where Paul sparred with Fauci about his or the NIAID's role in gain-of-function research and allegedly "obscur[ing] responsibility for four million people dying around them from a pandemic," Fauci declared Paul "officially, do[es] not know what [he] is talking about" and denied any such allegations.

"You are implying that what we did was responsible for the deaths of individuals [and] I totally resent that," Fauci told Paul at the time. "If there is any lying here, senator it is you."

Fauci, who recently retired, had been a fixture at the NIH since 1968, and was appointed head of NIAID by former President Ronald Reagan in 1984. (Ex-State Dept COVID investigator calls newly-unredacted Fauci communications 'an extensive cover-up' .)

During this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) argued there was evidence at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic that former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci “orchestrated” a cover-up.

According to the Kentucky Republican, Fauci was aware of evidence that tied him to “dangerous” research on the virus.

“What about Anthony Fauci’s accountability, and is the media complicit?” host Maria Bartiromo asked.

What we know is, from the very first days of the pandemic in January 2020, that Anthony Fauci orchestrated an elaborate cover-up,” Paul said. “He knew there was a problem. At 3:00 in the morning, he was emailing somebody on January 31. And that person was head of the committee that was supposed to review dangerous research, the P3CO committee, the potential pandemic pathogens. It was supposed to look at this dangerous research. But Fauci allowed it to go around that.”

“So he knew from the very beginning not only was he funding the Wuhan research, but he was going around the regulatory apparatus to let it happen, even though the rules said it shouldn’t have happened without more scrutiny,” he continued. “So he knew this from the beginning, and it was an active cover-up. He actively got papers placed that were not valid papers into large scientific journals. So, yes, it was a cover-up from the very beginning, but a real judgment error. And this is a man, Anthony Fauci, who said in 2012 that this kind of research to create new viruses was so important that, even if a pandemic should take place, that it’d be worth the knowledge.”

“I think there’s several million people, particularly a million Americans, who would question whether that was good judgment or not,” Paul added. “So whether or not he was some — poor judgment or not, it was an incredibly bad decision to fund this research.” (Paul: We Know That First Days of the Pandemic Fauci 'Orchestrated an Elaborate Cover-Up'.)

Yes, Anthony Fauci’s funding of the gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, his efforts to impose cookie-cutter set of protocols that ignored early intervention in the cases of patients infected with Covid-19, his gargantuan attempts to silence medical professionals and scientists who dissent from his “I am the science” hubristic omniscience, and his promotion of the “vaccines” that continue to kill and maim thousands upon thousands of innocent human beings has led to the deaths of individuals. There is no question about this at all except in the amoral mind of the pro-abortion, pro-perversion Anthony Fauci.

Second, the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention deliberately overinflated the number of deaths said to be attributable to the coronavirus to provide justification for the lockdowns, mask mandates, social distancing, and, ultimately, the vaccine mandates that have divided Americans even further than they have already been divided because of the anti-Incarnational errors of Modernity and turned the “vaccinated” but yet unprotected against the unvaccinated. Efforts to expose these truths have been met with a form of censorship worthy of Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong and, at the present time, Xi Jinping himself.

The people who say they want to “protect” democracy (a) do not know what a democracy is; (b) do not realize that we have a republican (representative) form of government; and (c) believe that “democracy,” whatever it is to them, excludes the voices of those who dissent from the pronouncements of the “enlightened” and completely unelected apparatchiks and supposed academics for whom it is considered to be a veritable act of “insurrection” to contradict with facts. The reasons why we are faced with such fascism and duplicity will be explored later in this commentary’s conclusion.

Third, the same United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention that overinflated the numbers of deaths caused by the coronavirus in 2020 (deaths caused by car accidents, accidental falls in private homes, cancer, chronic heart disease, diabetes, etc., were all said to be “Covid-related” deaths) is actively seeking to deflate the number of deaths and injuries caused by the vaccines and has made it extremely difficult for physicians and nurses to know how to report such injuries or deaths even if they can overcome the ingrained fear about what would happen to their professional lives if they did so.

It is even the case now that government officials who were in the forefront of promoting a false agenda in order to scare the masses into conforming to their diktats without even so much as a beep are being bold enough to admit that many of their statements with intended to deceive:

ALBANY, New York (LifeSiteNews) — New York State’s acting health commissioner affirmed late last month that she played up extremely rare pediatric COVID-19 hospitalizations to promote injecting all children five years old and above with the experimental and abortion-tainted COVID jabs.

The promotion of universal vaccination in young children comes in spite of evidence that children face very minimal risk from COVID-19, and ignores the thousands of reports of serious adverse events and deaths connected with the experimental shots.

During a December 28, 2021, press conference, acting State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett said that while the numbers of pediatric COVID-related hospital admissions were “small,” and while children are not “having an epidemic of infection,” a handful of rare pediatric hospitalizations were given center stage in a recent health alert “to motivate pediatricians and families to seek the protection of vaccination” for young children.

Bassett’s statements came after she warned of a “striking” uptick in pediatric COVID-19 hospitalizations in a December 24 press release put out by the New York State Department of Health.

“The risks of COVID-19 for children are real,” Bassett wrote in the release. “We are alerting New Yorkers to this recent striking increase in pediatric COVID-19 admissions so that pediatricians, parents and guardians can take urgent action to protect our youngest New Yorkers.”

“We must use all available safe and effective infection control, prevention and mitigation strategies,” she continued, urging parents to “[p]rotect your children who are five years and older by getting them fully vaccinated and protect children under five by making sure all of those around them have protection through vaccination, boosters, mask-wearing, avoiding crowds and testing.”

“[These] were small numbers that we reported in our health alert,” Bassett admitted in the December 28 presser. “That was based on 50 hospitalizations and I’ve now given you some larger numbers. But still small numbers.”

The 50 pediatric hospitalizations are among a population of roughly 4 million children under 18 who live in New York, according to census data.

Meanwhile, it’s unclear whether the children recorded as having been hospitalized with COVID-19 were actually admitted because of the virus.

While asserting a “four-fold increases in COVID-19 hospital admissions for children 18 and under” between December 5 and December 24 and arguing that “[t]hese startling trends underscore the critical importance of protecting our children from COVID-19,” the press release failed to differentiate between children who may have entered the hospital because of COVID-19 compared to those who tested positive while hospitalized for a different reason and may have had minor symptoms or none at all.

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has repeatedly urged universal vaccination, last week acknowledged that “if you look at the children that are hospitalized, many of them are hospitalized with COVID, as opposed to because of COVID.” Fauci also affirmed that children are often counted as COVID-19 hospital admissions if they test positive for the virus after being admitted for an unrelated condition such as “a broken leg or appendicitis.”

Fauci’s statements have confirmed long-standing suspicions that COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths have been overcounted, with hospitals financially incentivized to unnecessarily record hospitalizations and deaths as COVID-related.

The New York Health Commissioner’s comments and recommendations come in spite of data suggesting that children face a vanishingly small risk from COVID-19, with the American Pediatric Association estimating that between 0.00-0.02% of child COVID cases in the United States have resulted in death. Meanwhile, the thousands of reports of serious adverse events and deaths following the jabs have led numerous experts to criticize the effort to inject children with the experimental shots.

In summer 2021, researchers with Johns Hopkins School of Medicine found a “mortality rate of zero among children without a pre-existing medical condition such as leukemia” when they “analyze[d] approximately 48,000 children under 18 diagnosed with Covid in health-insurance data from April to August 2020.”

Dr. Robert Malone, a prominent virologist and pioneer of the mRNA technology used in the Pfizer and Moderna injections, has suggested that inoculating the 28 million American children between 5 to 11 years old with the experimental drugs could lead to “1,000 or more excess deaths,” while the risk from COVID-19 for healthy children is “about zero” and appears to be lower than the seasonal flu. (NY Health Commissioner says she blew hospitalizations out of proportion to push COVID shot for kids. Also see Dr. Peter A. McCullough’s French Scientists Fight Back against Ministry of Truth.)

The level of official governmental mendacity is stupefying as people such as Dr. Mary T. Bassett admit that they lied to put children at risk of getting injured by the poisoned jabs, which have made Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, and other pharmaceutical companies billions of dollars, even though she knew that they were at minimal risk of contracting what is called Covid-19.

Then again, people such as Dr. Mary Bassett believe in the indoctrination of children into the ways of impurity, indecency, lewdness, rank impurity, and every aspect of the “LGTBQILMNOP” ideologues by means of explicit classroom instruction in matters pertaining to the Sixth and Ninth Commandments, including, of course, the current diabolical agenda of coercing children into wanting to undergo chemical and surgical alterations to do that which is biologically impossible (to change one’s gender). The Mary Bassetts of the political, governmental, bureaucratic, administrative, educational, commercial, financial, legal, and cultural elites also believe in and promote the denial of the Sovereignty of God over the sanctity and fecundity of Holy Matrimony, the surgical slaughter of the innocent preborn from the moment of conception until even after birth if a baby survives an baby-killer’s efforts to kill him, and the whole panoply of means to kill people after birth (the medical industry’s manufactured, money-making myth of “brain death” to justify human vivisection, the starvation and dehydration those said to be brain damaged, palliative care/hospice, direct euthanasia, suicide, assisted suicide, physician assisted suicide ) to harvest their vital organs and/or simply to depopulate the earth to protect the “planet,” which God created for men for their own purposes as its good stewards.

The fact that we are face to face with such people, many of whom enjoy both the favor and the confidence of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, is because the authority of Holy Mother Church has been rejected and the entity that represents itself, falsely, of course, as herself is but a tool of the adversity to make possible the transhumanist agenda for the great “reset,” the rise of One World Governance and a One World Religion that is subservient thereto.

Fourth, speaking of the World Economic Forum’s “global reset,” which is nothing other than an effort to produce an artificial intelligence version of the creation events recorded in the Book of Genesis, Dr. Joseph Mercola summarized how the globalist elites have used the events of the plandemic to reprogram the world’s population into becoming accomplices in its own enslavement and eventual elimination:

Each year, the world’s elite hop into their private jets and descend upon Davos, Switzerland, the location of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) annual Davos Forum. Here, the self-proclaimed ruling class spend the week discussing their visions of the future and how to impose their ambitions on the rest of the world.1

As explained by Fox News anchor Jesse Watters, participants are divided into clear classes even there. Not only must you receive a personal invitation to attend, but once you’re there, your name badge will clearly illustrate which “elite class” or “subclass” you belong to.

If you’re a sufficiently wealthy VIP, you get a white badge with a blue line. If you’re married to a VIP, you get a plain white badge. If you’re just part of someone’s entourage, you get a green badge (wouldn’t want the true elite braintrust WEF’s planners and strategists — to accidentally mingle with and swap ideas with the servants).

The Future Is To Be Built by Them, Not Us

If you have any doubt that these individuals believe they have the right to own the world and make decisions for all mankind, just listen to WEF founder Klaus Schwab’s opening remarks:

“The future is not just happening. The future is BUILT, by US. By a powerful community, as you here, in this room.”

These three short sentences tell us a lot. They believe the future is theirs to create. They believe they, the attendees in that room, have all the power. And, by extension, they think that the rest of the world, those unfit to wear a Davos Forum badge, have no say in the matter.

We’re not powerful enough, or smart enough, or wealthy enough to be part of the planning. The people in that room, they are the ones responsible for making the decisions for everyone else.

They Want to Track Your Carbon Footprint

As noted by Watters, “They’re openly scheming up some of the craziest plans you’ll ever hear of, like tracking your carbon footprint.” In other words, they want to track where you travel, how you travel, what you eat and any other resources you might use in your day-to-day life.

This technology isn’t commercially available yet, but we’re told it’s coming. To start, it’ll be sold to you as a way for you to be a responsible citizen and track your own carbon footprint. Eventually, your carbon footprint will be part and parcel of your social credit score, and used against you in every conceivable and inconceivable way.

Make no mistake, the so-called “manmade climate change crisis” is a ploy to entice the world population into giving up the lifestyle we’ve become used to, no matter how modest.

You’re supposed to track and limit your carbon footprint, while these self-proclaimed elitists have no qualms about hopping on their private jets. At bare minimum, you’d think they’d humble themselves enough to fly commercially, but no. They’re too important for that. They’re the builders of the future, after all.

Failed Planners Continue Planning

Of course, the meeting also included discussion about pandemic response. Despite having utterly failed to prevent any of their previously predicted pandemics — and there have been several — they still believe they’re the only ones who can get it done.

They also openly admit that their plans will cause pain for the populace. We have to expect shortages of food and energy, for example. And why? Because they’ve decided societal changes need to occur faster than what technological advancement can keep up with.

As just one example, we currently don’t have viable alternatives to diesel-driven machinery used in construction and farming, but they’re not going to let that stop them from implementing their “green” agenda.

They also stressed that ‘inflationary pressures’ are ‘worth it.’ But the average person who can’t afford to drive to work and whose children cry from hunger is hardly going to agree that premature implementation of the green agenda is worth that kind of suffering.

Do you want to know what their solution is? They continue their lifestyle, while demanding that you give up creature comforts like air conditioning and heating, or like driving your car and flying overseas, until the green energy sector catches up. Never mind the fact that by the time that happens, many millions will have died from starvation and society as we know it will have crumbled.

They also stressed that “inflationary pressures” are “worth it.” Worth it for whom? Themselves, of course, because the average person who can’t afford to drive to work and whose children cry from hunger is hardly going to agree that premature implementation of the green agenda is worth that kind of suffering. It’s tone-deaf in the extreme, really.

Watters asks Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul for comment on what’s happening in Davos, and as noted by Paul, one of the greatest dangers of a One World Government is that it will be unelected.

Just look at how bad government performs when you’re allowed to vote for the representatives you actually want, he says. This Davos crowd, which wants and fully intends to form their own global government, doesn’t represent anyone but themselves. You can’t vote them in. You can’t vote them out. And they’re accountable to no one.

Elitists Clueless About Basic Economy

Living in an insulated bubble is also, apparently, hazardous to your intellect. As noted by Paul, these elitists actually blame inflation on greed, which is dangerously ignorant, and proves they’re really not qualified to manage anything, let alone a global economy.

“If you were in a third-grade class, I’d give you a failing grade if you told me inflation was caused by greed,” Paul says. “That is the dumbest explanation, the most implausible, lacking all facts, that someone could put forward.

Inflation is caused by an increase in the money supply … The Federal Reserve prints it up to borrow it; it floods the economy and drives prices up. If you don’t understand that, it’ll never get any better. My prediction is it’ll get a lot worse before November.”

World Health Organization Vies for Global Health Monopoly

Of course, global economies are not the only thing being destroyed by these billionaire parasites. They also want to be in charge of global health care, and to that end, the World Health Organization is now trying to get member states to agree to a Pandemic Treaty that will give the WHO complete authority over pandemic planning and response, even if its decisions violate national laws and civil rights.

It’s fitting then, that China was recently elected to the WHO’s executive board.2 Not a single member nation objected to the appointment. As noted by Spectator columnist Ross Clark,3 the election of China is further evidence WHO has “lost all credibility.” What’s more, Clark points out that the only European country on the WHO’s executive board is Slovakia, which also had one of the highest COVID-19 death rates.

‘Sustainable Financing’ of the WHO May Be Pure Fiction

Directing and coordinating international health is expensive, as you might imagine, so the World Health Assembly, the governing body for the WHO, has approved a draft decision, A75/9, which lays out the plan for “sustainable financing” of the WHO.

According to a supporting document titled “A Healthy Return — Investment Case for a Sustainably Financed WHO,”4 investing in the WHO “provides a return of at least U.S. $35 for every U.S. $1 invested.”

As noted by a Twitter user called Critical Sway,5 this return on investment claim is based on “complex economic calculations” involving “enormous sums of money, projects running worldwide over the next decade,” and factors in “an incalculable number of unknown and unknowable variables.” The models for these calculations were done by staff at the Victoria University in Melbourne, Australia, and were funded by the WHO itself.

In other words, the return on investment claim could be completely fictitious, especially when you consider that “This lot couldn’t accurately model one virus over the course of two years.”6 But they’ll use these fantasy calculations to milk governments for more money, and government can then tell the people that their money (because all government money comes from your tax dollars) is being “securely invested” and “well spent.”

Update on International Health Regulation Amendments

In addition to the WHO’s pandemic treaty, the World Health Assembly recently voted on a set of amendments7 to the International Health Regulations proposed by the Biden administration. These amendments would have stripped member nations of their sovereignty and given the WHO unprecedented power to restrict your medical freedoms and civil liberties in the name of biosecurity.8

The WHO, however, temporarily withdrew 12 of the 13 proposed amendments, May 25, 2022. That doesn’t mean they’re off the table, though. Another hearing on these amendments has been scheduled for June 16 and 17, 2022. According to the Liberty Counsel,9 a number of African nations, Iran, Malaysia and Brazil objected to the amendments, for a variety of reasons.

The African nations reportedly want the proposed IHR amendments to be consolidated into the Pandemic Treaty rather than being done piecemeal separately.

So, we’re not out of the woods yet. We must continue to pressure the U.S. delegation to the World Health Assembly to oppose these amendments. Some nations have expressed support for giving the WHO the power to mandate global universal health care as well, and this is yet another reason to push for national sovereignty and oppose the WHO’s Pandemic Treaty. (WHO and WEF Globalists Coordinate Their Global ‘Reset’.)

As important and as accurate at this information is, Dr, Joseph Mercola is one among the many courageous opponent of Big Pharma and its plandemic who simply cannot gras the simple fact that there is no naturalistic, inter-religious, secular, nondenominal, political, legal, or cultural means to oppose these evils that are being promoted at this time. The path to do so runs through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary and her Most Holy Rosary, which is our spiritual weapon against the adversary and his minions in our own lives in the life of the world-at-large, and wear her shield, her Brown Scapular of Mount Carmel, to protect us from the assaults to which we are being subjected, both individually and collectively by the forces of hell and their human compatriots in the levers of power around the world.

Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ really meant it when He said the following:

I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman. [2] Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit. [3] Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you. [4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me. [5] I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.

[6] If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth. [7] If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you. [8] In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples. [9] As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you. Abide in my love. [10] If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; as I also have kept my Father's commandments, and do abide in his love. (John 15: 1-10.)

Anyone who believes that human “ingenuity” or some kind of commitment to a secular concept of “liberty” is nothing than a Pelagian who believes in human self-redemption whether or not he recognizes or accepts that fact. The only genuine standard of human liberty is the Holy Cross of the Divine Redeemer, Christ the King, Who has made it possible to free ourselves from the grip of the adversary and hence grow in the true liberty as the adopted sons of the living God, the Most Blessed Trinity.

Fifth, the “salvific” poisoned jabs called “vaccines” have created a new statistical category of “SADS”—Sudden Adult Death Syndrome—to accompany “SIDS” (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) as a means of obfuscating the fact the vaccines of one sort or another are responsible for both so-called syndromes.

Consider the case of a professional basketball player in the Spanish version of the Red Chinese compliant National Basketball Association who died suddenly while undergoing a stress test in the Dominican Republic:

Professional basketball player Óscar Cabrera Adames died last week at a health center in the Dominican Republic after an apparent heart attack, Fox News reported.

Sports commentator Héctor Gómez first broke the news on Instagram that the 28-year-old Dominican player, who plays in the Spanish professional league, had been undergoing a stress test when he died.

It is unclear, according to reports, whether the stress test — designed to examine heart functioning during physical activity — precipitated the heart attack.

Cabrera Adames previously was hospitalized after collapsing on the court during a December 2021 game. At the time, he blamed his collapse on COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis, posting on social media:

“I got Myocarditis from taking a vaccine. (I got 2 doses of Pfizer) And I knew it! Many people warned me.”

Cabrera Adames wrote that he was required to get the vaccine in order to continue playing professionally.

“It was compulsory or I couldn’t work. I am an international professional athlete and I am playing in Spain. I have no health problems, nothing, not hereditary, no asthma, NOTHING! I suddenly collapsed to the ground in the middle of a match and almost died. I’m still recovering and I’ve had 11 different cardiology tests done and guess? They find nothing.”

He said doctors told him he could not play for at least five months until his heart inflammation went down.

Research shows the effects of vaccine-induced myocarditis can last much longer than five months.

A fan posted Cabrera Adames’ original post alongside a video of him collapsing on the court in 2021.

Some media outlets, including Newsweek, called allegations that Cabrera Adames’ reported vaccine-induced myocarditis is linked to his heart attack “conspiracy theories.”

Myocarditis is a debilitating cardiac condition. Severe myocarditis can permanently damage the heart muscle, possibly causing heart failure.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that myocarditis is a serious adverse event that global evidence shows can be caused by the COVID-19 vaccine, particularly among young men.

Cardiologist Peter A. McCullough, M.D., MPH, told The Defender in an email that Cabrera Adames’ death, along with his previously reported myocarditis, was concerning and should be investigated further.

He said:

“I am deeply concerned that his reported symptomatic myocarditis was in 2021 and now he dies on a routine stress test in 2023. This calls for an autopsy and assessment of his vaccine records, prior blood tests, ECGs, echocardiograms, and MRIs for clues to his risks for fatal COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis.”

According to Basketball Insiders:

“Up to this point, we are yet to have an official statement on the cause of Oscar Cabrera Adames’ death. All we know is that myocarditis restricts your heart’s ability to pump blood, and most cases ends in sudden death due to heart failure.”

McCullough tweeted that one reason so many athletes are dying suddenly is because they are unaware they have myocarditis and people with myocarditis should avoid exercise.

The CDC revealed in a May 2021 report it was aware that myocarditis and pericarditis were adverse events associated with the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, particularly in young men.

But evidence shows the CDC and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were aware of myocarditis safety signals as early as Feb. 19, but hid the data from the public until after the FDA granted Emergency Use Authorization and the CDC recommended the vaccination of children ages 12-15.

Professional sports leagues, such as the NFL, started mandating the vaccines in August 2021 — that was after the FDA in June 2021 added a warning about the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis to fact sheets for Moderna and Pfizer following the CDC’s May 2021 report.

Since then, there has been a spike in the number of sudden deaths among athletes. Mercola reported that since March 2021, there was an unprecedented surge in cardiac arrest and other heart issues among elite athletes, citing the fact that 769 athletes collapsed with heart issues on the field during a game between March 2021 and March 2022.

The average age of those athletes who suffered cardiac arrest is just 23 years old.

According to Edward Dowd, a Swiss study documented an average of 29 deaths per year in that demographic prior to 2021. Dowd, a former BlackRock fund manager, is the author of “‘Cause Unknown’: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022.” (28-Year-Old Pro Basketball Player Dies of Heart Attack — Less Than 2 Years After Telling Fans Pfizer Shots Led Him to Develop Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis.)

The rash of sudden deaths and sudden collapses has become impossible for the censors of Big Pharm, Big Tech, and the Deep State to hide from the public view. There are more and more reports of these deaths and collapses, although it remains verboten for any mainslime reporter (or artificial intelligence-generators that write many “news” reports these days) even to hint that there is a direct connection between these deaths and collapses with the “vaccines” developed under former President Donald John Trump’s Operation Warp Speed, which has produced the truly warped consequences such as the one that come from the headlines since the main text of part-twenty four of this series was published a week ago:

Bronny James suffered cardiac arrest while practicing at USC on Monday.

LeBron James confirmed the scare involving his son as he prepared for his first season with the Trojans in a statement to TMZ.

“(Monday) while practicing Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest,” the James family said.

“Medical staff was able to treat Bronny and take him to the hospital. He is now in stable condition and no longer in ICU. We ask for respect and privacy for the James family and we will update media when there is more information.”

Bronny was rushed to the hospital after a 911 call was made at 9:26 in the morning from the Galen Center, where USC practices.

Bronny, 18, was a four-star recruit after starring at Sierra Canyon High School.

“LeBron and Savannah wish to publicly send their deepest thanks and appreciation to the USC medical and athletic staff for their incredible work and dedication to the safety of their athletes,” the statement said.

According to TMZ, Bronny was unconscious before he was taken by ambulance to the hospital.

A 911 dispatcher can also be heard saying “unconscious” in audio obtained by the outlet.

The medical emergency was a Code 3, according to TMZ, which signifies emergency teams arriving at the scene with ambulance lights and sirens.

Bronny, the oldest son of James, is entering his freshman year at USC.

In May, he announced his commitment to play for the Trojans next season, writing the school’s slogan, “Fight On,” in a post on Instagram.

Bronny — a 6-foot-3 combo guard — averaged 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists at Sierra Canyon in his senior season, during which he was named a McDonald’s All-American.

In March, Bronny competed in the slam dunk competition at the high school showcase, which took place 20 years after James won the dunk contest as part of the McDonald’s All-American festivities.

Bronny, who turns 19 in October, becomes draft-eligible in 2024.

James and Savannah share a son Bryce, 16, and daughter Zhuri, 8, in addition to Bronny.

The Lakers superstar, who became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer on Feb. 7, previously said he hopes to play alongside Bronny in the NBA. (LeBron James' son Bronny suffers cardiac arrest at USC practice.)

When has there ever been such a spate of healthy, fit young men engaged in athletic pursuits suffering from heart attacks, myocarditis, and blood clots?

The answer is never, of course.

The cardiac arrest suffered by “Bronny” James comes a day after a video emerged of a former soccer player turned broadcaster collapsing during a broadcast of a soccer match:

ESPN soccer analyst Shaka Hislop is recovering after he collapsed during a live broadcast on Sunday night in an unsettling moment.

The former goalie fell toward co-host Dan Thomas while discussing AC Milan’s friendly with Real Madrid on the field at the Rose Bowl.

“ Shak! Shak! We need some help,” an unnerved Thomas was heard yelling on the broadcast. “We need medical!”

The broadcast quickly cut to commercial as medical personnel attended to the 54-year-old.

Thomas tweeted after kickoff that Hislop was conscious and in the care of medics and provided an optimistic update at the half. (ESPN's Shaka Hislop collapsed in scary live broadcast scene.)

Although supposed reporters are terming any link with the “Covid-19” vaccines to be “unfounded,” a review of some of the comments posted by New York Post readers indicates that there are more in the peanut gallery who are “on” to the vaccine scam that our minders would care to understand or accept:

COVID vaccine mandates are necessary because the protected need to be protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to use the protection that didn't protect the protected.
Funny how the same people who decided it was perfectly OK to demand you reveal your vaccination status to buy groceries or see a ball game, NOW feel it is a private matter that should not even be discussed, especially not after another perfectly healthy adult passed out for no reason.
Oh NO! It can’t be the jab. The father of the vaccine says that the jab and Operation Warp Speed has saved millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of lives. Don’t you know that he has never done anything wrong by his own admission? How dare you blame the dangerous and deadly dead baby jab? (ESPN's Shaka Hislop collapsed in scary live broadcast scene.)

Additionally, a “singer” and Grammy award winner named Tori Kelly suffered a collapse caused by blood clots:

Two-time Grammy winner Tori Kelly was rushed in a serious condition to a hospital Sunday after collapsing, sources say.

The country singer was at dinner with friends yesterday in Los Angeles when she passed out after reporting her heart beating unusually rapidly, sources told TMZ .

The sources said the 30-year-old was “out for awhile” and was taken to Cedars-Sinai hospital by her own car rather than ambulance.

Kelly is reportedly being treated for blood clots after doctors discovered them around several of her vital organs.

A source told the outlet that the situation is still “really serious.”

The Post has reached out to Kelly’s representatives for comment. (Tori Kelly hospitalized in 'really serious' condition after collapse.)

Unfortunately, of course, there are still a significant number of people who believe in the propaganda about the “safe” and “effective” vaccines, and these are generally the same people who believe that Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., never discussed business with Hunter Biden (or is that he was never in business with Hunter Biden?) and who believe in the Easter Bunny.

People are dying because of the “vaccines,” and those who are collapsing suddenly may have health problems for the rest of their lives. One of the most tragic aspect of this genocide of innocent human beings in the name of “public health” is that many of the vaccinated who have not yet developed health problems will do so years down the road. This is all about depopulation, and the number of fatalities caused by vaccines in the years of ahead will help advance this diabolical in order to “save the planet” for the elites to govern as they desire until they are vanquished by the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The lack of journalistic curiosity about these “sudden deaths” mirrors the relative lack of journalistic curiosity about the allegations that the President of the United States of America, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., is a true Manchurian Candidate who owes his bread and butter to the butchers of Beijing, which is why he has appeased them at almost every turn since January 20, 2021. No so-called journalist is willing to make the obvious connection between these spate of “sudden deaths” in the past two and one-half years since the poisoned jabs began being administered and cases such as the one cited above and in the case cited below of a meteorologist for WCBS-TV, Channel, New York, New York, who “died suddenly” at the age of fifty-one on Sunday, July 16, 2023, the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost and the Commemoration of Our Lady of Mount Carmel:

Heartbroken colleagues and friends are mourning the loss of “gifted and consummate professional” CBS-New York meteorologist Elise Finch, who died suddenly over the weekend, just a day or two after appearing on air.

Finch, who delivered the weather forecast on Channel 2 across the Big Apple starting in 2007, died at a local hospital, her employer, New York affiliate CBS station WCBS, announced Sunday evening.

She was 51. Her cause of death has not been determined.

“Elise was a gifted and consummate professional who took great care with her work,” the television station wrote in a statement announcing her death. “She was also a wonderful ambassador in the community, including her hometown of Mount Vernon.”

Finch, whose full name was Elise Dione Finch Henriques, started out as a weekend meteorologist and most recently delivered the weather forecast on the morning news.

She was also a “fiercely loving and devoted” mother to her daughter, Grace, and to husband Graig Henriques, who is a WCBS photojournalist, the station said.

WCBS anchor Jessica Moore choked up as she announced Finch’s death on-air Sunday. She also tweeted a heartwarming message.

“Elise was fiercely loyal to those she loved, a straight shooter, a consummate professional, and made me laugh until I cried,” Moore wrote. “But above all she was completely devoted to her family, especially her daughter Grace. I love you so much, my friend. Heaven now has an angel like no other.”

Others also remembered Finch for her kindness, top-notch talent and warm personality that shined while she told New Yorkers what the weather would be for the week.

“My heart is broken. Our team will never be the same,” tweeted WCBS anchor Chris Wragge. “No one matched musical wits better. I’ll miss you much.”

WCBS reporter Tony Aiello also remembered Finch for her love of music.

“The song of her life deserved many more verses. Her gifts were many, and so too the lives she touched,” he tweeted. “My deepest condolences to Graig and little Grace, her parents and sister, and all our CBS2 family.”

WCBS reporter Ali Bauman summed it up succinctly: “Heartbroken by the loss of our friend, colleague, and role model.”

NYC Council Speaker Adrienne Adams also expressed condolences over the city’s loss.

“Elise served as CBS’ meteorologist for over a decade and graced thousands of households with her genius,” she tweeted. “She will truly be missed. My prayers go to her family and friends.”

Finch was on the air as recently as Friday afternoon, delivering the forecast to thousands of New Yorkers. (CBS New York meteorologist Elise Finch dead at 51.)

Tragedies such as these have become commonplace since December of 2020 when one seventy-five-year-old man dropped dead fifteen minutes after being jabbed at the Jacob K. Javits Center in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, New York. Yet it is that we are not supposed to ask any questions about the link between these deaths and the vaccines, which many employers mandated their employees to receive as a condition of their continued employment. It is said to be “insensitive” to point out that baseball Hall of Famer Henry Louis Aaron dropped dead about a week after getting jabbed or even to list the documented sudden deaths of the well-conditioned athletes that continue without cease, including the "unexpected death" of a former offensive linebacker for the University of Iowa football team that made the news on Tuesday, July 18, 2023, the Feast of Saint Camillus de Lellis and the Commemoration of Saint Symphorosa and her Seven Sons:

Cody Ince, a former offensive lineman for the Iowa Hawkeyes, has died at 23 years old.

Ince died “unexpectedly at his home near Grantsburg, Wisconsin” on Saturday, according to his obituary.

A cause of death was not immediately revealed.

From 2018-21, Ince started 10 games for Iowa, appearing in a total of 29.

“I am incredibly sad to hear about Cody Ince’s sudden passing,” Kirk Ferentz, the head coach of Iowa, said in a statement.

“Cody was a tremendous young man, valued teammate, and contributor to our program. He loved football, fishing and hunting, and believed in the importance of family and friendships. Cody was just beginning this next chapter of his life and was about to be married.

Scott Dochterman, who covers Iowa for The Athletic, tweeted that Ince had a shot at being a “legitimate NFL career” before he was derailed by injuries and retired from football a year before his college eligibility was up.

On Ince’s memorial page, Tyron Tracy Jr., who started in college at Iowa before transferring to Purdue, remembered Ince fondly.

“I have had the honor of knowing and playing with Cody while I was at the University of Iowa,” Tracy wrote.

“Mary and I are heartbroken for his fiancée, his family and all his friends who knew and loved him. All of us in the football program – his coaches and teammates – are mourning his loss.”

According to ABC affiliate KCRG, Ince was an Academic All-Big Ten honoree and made Dean’s List in the Spring semester of 2021.

“He was not only a great teammate but an amazing person! Always smiling and cracking jokes but he took his job on the field personally and I loved that about him. He used to always bring in deer jerky or sunflower seeds and he made sure I got some every time.

“It’s the little things that I will remember! Thank you Cody for being such an amazing person and friend!” (Former Iowa offensive lineman Cody Ince dead at 23.)

As noted just above, supposed "journalists" have zero curiosity in the spate of these "sudden" and "unexpected" deaths. This is beccause most of them have been taught to ignore anything tha smacks of a "conspiracy theory" (except when it pertains to the Russian Collusion hoax) and because newspapers and television networks rely heavily upon advertising from pharmaceutic conglomerates. These deaths will continue unabated until and unless the death-dealing "vaccinations" are forbidden once and for all.

Dr. Peter A, McCullough provided his readership with the results of an independent study that, according to autopsies, the Covid-19 vaccines were responsible for the deaths of 73.9% of the three hundred twenty-five cases under review:

As government and public health officials squirm with more published deaths coming out on a daily basis, the final retort of “you cannot prove the vaccine caused the death” has just been blown out of the water!

Hulscher et al have published the largest accumulation of autopsy result in deaths after COVID-19 vaccination. From a total of 325 cases, independent review found the COVID-19 vaccine was the cause of death in 73.9%. The vast majority had the cardiovascular system as the single fatal organ system injury to the body.

These data are consistent with prior published studies from Schwab and Chaves that did not have the advantage of independent adjudication.

Going forward in response to sudden unexplained deaths reported in the press, it is reasonable to conclude the cause of death is a fatal COVID-19 vaccine injury until proven otherwise. Proof the decedent is unvaccinated or an alternative diagnosis is now required for the vaccine to be exonerated. In the absence of this information, medical examiners, coroners, physicians, and government officials should attribute the death to COVID-19 vaccination.

—BREAKING Update Thursday July 6, 2023 8 AM CT, after large download volume overnight, the Lancet editors took down the paper stating that they disagreed with the conclusions “study’s conclusions are not supported by the study methodology.” Lancet’s censorship of COVID-19 vaccine safety events including death is now exposed for all to see! You decide for yourself!

Will Jones showing great alacrity posted this piece with link to the full manuscript that censored. (COVID-19 Vaccine is the Culprit in Majority Found Dead after Injection)

This is a remarkable documentation of the link between the vaccines and the deaths they have caused and of the efforts by Lancet to immediately censor any news of this independent, verified study. The old Soviet Union had nothing on the Censorship Industrial Complex in the supposedly “civilized” Western world. Then again, as noted earlier on this commentary, Red China is the global leader in such censorship. One of the great ironies of Richard Nixon’s Shanghai Communique is that the opening to Red China it produced has resulted in the transformation of the West into the image of Red China rather the conversion of Red China to the supposedly “democratic” ways of the West.

This is particularly the case in the People’s Republic of Canada, where a Protestant minister is facing ten years in prison for keeping his “churches” open during the lockdowns and for preaching to the truckers who were protesting those lockdowns:

The son of a Canadian pastor drew raucous applause from the European Parliament earlier this month when he pleaded for international pressure in the case of his father, who potentially faces 10 years in prison after delivering a sermon to truckers blocking the U.S.-Canada border last year.

"I am here today in desperation, a cry for help," Nathaniel Pawlowski, 23, told members of the EU Parliament on July 4. "I would like to stand here and tell you all the things about freedom and democracy that I like, but I no longer know those things."

"They have been taken away from us Canadians. Canada has fallen."

Nathaniel Pawlowski was invited to address the EU Parliament in Brussels on behalf of his father, Pastor Artur Pawlowski, who has been continuously entangled with authorities in Calgary, Alberta, since he ejected police and public health officials from his Cave of Adullam church as they attempted to inspect it for COVID-19 compliance during an Easter service in 2021.

Calgary Police Service (CPS) arrested the pastor five times after he continued to conduct services in defiance of a court order, including once in the middle of a busy highway on his way home from church. On another occasion, he was arrested on the tarmac of Calgary International Airport following a four-month speaking tour in the U.S.

Pawlowski was found guilty in May of mischief and breaching a release order when he delivered a 19-minute speech to truckers who were protesting federal vaccine mandates by blocking Alberta's border with Montana in February 2022.

In the speech, Pawlowski advised truckers against their plan to go to the provincial capital of Edmonton, urging them instead to remain peaceful but not to "break the line" against the government at the border. He was arrested days later and spent 50 nights in two separate prisons, where he alleges he was abused and humiliated by prison authorities who tried in vain to instigate other inmates to hurt him.

Pawlowski remains under house arrest as he awaits another court date on Aug. 9, and also faces a charge pending a constitutional challenge under the provincial Critical Infrastructure Defense Act for allegedly participating in blocking the border crossing, which could carry a sentence of up to 10 years.

"We no longer have freedom of religion, or freedom of speech, or the right to protest or assemble or associate or express ourselves or have free media or disagree with the government," Nathaniel Pawlowski told the EU Parliament. "Anyone who does so is arrested, charged and jailed as political dissidents." His speech was followed by a recorded video in which his father likened his situation in Canada to growing up behind the Iron Curtain in communist Poland.

The pastor's son has himself has been slapped with charges for a sermon he delivered in April outside a drag queen story hour with children at the Calgary Public Library, during which he allegedly violated a municipal bylaw passed in March that prohibits protests within 100 meters of a recreation facility or library entrance.

The law was passed after Pastor Derek Reimer was thrown out of a public library in Calgary after interrupting a drag queen story time for children. Reimer was subsequently arrested and jailed for continuing to protest such events. Artur Pawlowski told Fox News Digital at the time that the arrest of Reimer, whom he knows, indicates that the way authorities enforced COVID-19 protocols in Canada is now being used to enforce ideology.

"I myself have been charged for preaching and reading the Bible publicly because the government claims the Bible isn't inclusive and is hateful," Nathaniel Pawlowski told the parliament. "This is what the Canadian government is doing to us."

Likening Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to "a modern-day Caligula," Pawlowski continued, "We cannot allow these mad emperors to run mad. And remember, all of this is being done under the guise of health, safety and protecting us by stripping our rights and ushering in tyranny."

Among the European MEPs who invited Pawlowski to address parliament was Christine Anderson, a German who rebuked Trudeau to his face in March 2022, accusing him of trampling "fundamental rights by persecuting and criminalizing his own citizens as terrorists just because they dare to stand up to his perverted concept of democracy," and calling him a "disgrace for any democracy."

Mislav Kolakusic MEP, who represents Croatia, was also involved with Pawlowski's invitation and similarly blasted Trudeau for crushing Canadians under a "quasi-liberal boot" and exhibiting civil rights violations.

Nathaniel Pawlowski told Fox News Digital that when he returned to Canada, customs officials in Montreal, Quebec, told him that there was a warrant out for his arrest. He noted that he was apprehensive to come home, remembering that his father was arrested at the Calgary International Airport in 2021 despite having been told that there were no outstanding warrants for his arrest.

Artur Pawlowski told Fox News Digital at the time that authorities confiscated and snooped his luggage, and that there was evidence his personal laptop had been accessed.

Nathaniel Pawlowski said he was briefly detained at the airport in Montreal, noting that he went on a media blitz during his 10-hour layover about his predicament. He was later released and told his charges were related to an alleged municipal violation.

"I had every reason to believe Canada Border Services Agency, because it's customs," he said. "We spoke to a lawyer, and customs doesn't make mistakes like this. If my passport was flagged, that means there was a warrant. I could give [CPS] the benefit of the doubt, but knowing their history — especially with my family — likely they just retracted the warrant after it made a splash."

A spokesperson for CPS told Fox News Digital that "at no time did the Calgary Police Service have a warrant on the system for the individual in question, nor are we aware of any active investigation by our Service. Any claims that the CPS ‘backed off’ due to media attention are simply inaccurate."

Artur Pawlowski told Fox News Digital that he is "enraged" at how he and his family are being treated by Canadian authorities, whom he described as "monsters" who "have no boundaries."

"I stood for my rights," Pawlowski said. "Now my son is standing for his rights, and they're not satisfied with hurting the father. Now they want to hurt my children, my family, my wife. They are coming after our children, and those are the tactics of every totalitarian regime. The Gestapo did it. The KGB did it. Every totalitarian regime, every dictatorship has this playbook." (Son of Canadian pastor facing prison for sermon blasts Trudeau before EU Parliament, draws standing ovation.)

Although it may seem extraneous to the plight of the Pawlowskis, I think that it is important to point out that there the phenomenon of people with Polish names apostatizing from the true Faith is one of the saddest legacies of the conciliar revolution. Countless numbers of Catholics of Irish, Italian, Spanish, and Latin American heritage have been deceived by the adversary into thinking that they can save their souls outside of the Catholic Faith, which they cannot, because of the ways in which the men who claim to be—but are not—the leaders of the Catholic Church defect from the plain words of Holy Writ and openly endorse the prevailing evils of the day, including statist lockdowns and vaccine mandates.

More to the point of Justin Trudeau’s tyranny, however, is the fact that Canada is not a bastion of freedom.

The People's Republic of Canada has always been about five to ten years ahead of "politically correct" trends here in the United States of America. That is, naturalists in the civil government in Canada, having a population of only thirty four million people, have long used our neighbor to the north as a grand laboratory of social experimentation and "political correctness." It has long been considered a "hate crime," in practice if not in actual point of law, to oppose openly the wanton slaughter of the innocent preborn and the promotion of perverse sins against nature and special "rights" for those who commit them.

To wit, it was in February of 1999, that I was held up at the Canada border while driving my 1995 Saturn station wagon filled to the brim with copies of Christ or Chaos and other publications of mine. I was questioned at length concerning the purpose of my visit to Canada, whereupon I explained that I was going to speak at a Catholic forum (a regional Wanderer Forum) at Saint Clement's Church in Ottawa, Ontario. It was immediately thereafter that I was told to wait until there could be an inspection of my materials as I was asked repeatedly, "Are you bringing in any 'hate' literature into this country? Anything that opposes the 'rights of women' to 'choose' what to do with their bodies? Any opposition to 'gay' people and their lifestyle?" I explained that I held to the Catholic Faith, which rejects sin while exhorting the sinner to convert as he seeks out the ineffable mercy of the Divine Redeemer in the Sacred Tribunal of Penance. This only got me in more trouble, and it was with reluctance that the senior officer, perhaps fearing an incident, permitted me entry into the country, putting me seriously behind schedule as a result.

What the Pawlowskis—and most everyone else in the world today—do not understand is the totalitarian civil state of Modernity is only logical result of the Protestant revolution against the Divine Plan that Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Himself instituted to effect man’s return to Him through His Catholic Church. Men who reject the divinely-ordained authority of the true Church to interpose herself with the civil authorities in matters pertaining to the good of souls, upon which rests the fate of both men and their nations, after exhausting her Indirect Power of teaching, preaching, and exhortation will wind up creating a secular “church out of the civil state from which no one can dissent legitimately without being charged with various heresies of dissenting from the prevailing ideology du jour. Anyone who thinks that there is any other path out of this mess than through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary is a fool.

Sixth, the “salvific” vaccines not only continue to kill people, including by sudden death, but they continue to cause life-altering injuries of the sort described by a man who was studying for the conciliar presbyterate. He wrote about his story for Lifesite News:

Editor’s note: LifeSiteNews has interviewed Julian Young, who willingly shared documents showing that he was enrolled as a seminarian in the northeastern United States, that he received two doses of a COVID “vaccine,” and that he is now under medical care for autoimmune disease.

An autoimmune disease led to me leaving the seminary, and I believe my two COVID jabs are to blame.

My name is Julian Young. I am an aspirant to the priesthood for the Catholic Church. I did not grow up in the faith, but a few years after I graduated high school in 2010 I had a life-changing encounter with God and experienced His radical love and forgiveness in my life.

This experience led to a journey towards spiritual truth, but since I did not immediately recognize Jesus Christ as the Truth and as God Himself, my search initially led me down an erroneous path of religious pluralism. For a while I thought of Jesus simply as an ordinary, although wise, spiritual teacher, and I naively viewed all religions as teaching the same truth albeit in different ways.

For the first time, I prayed to Jesus for help

At the time, this way of thinking opened up some undesirable doorways for me, allowing the Enemy to generate a lot of fear and uncertainty in my spiritual life and causing me to rethink my path. One night, while experiencing some anxiety about this, an interior voice prompted me to pray to Jesus for help. It was not something I had ever done before, but at this point I was more than willing since I felt helpless to control the situation that was unfolding in my life. This was the first time I recognized my need for Christ.

Our Lord was quick to answer as, over the next few days, I felt that a flame had ignited in my soul, which now recognized Christ as its Savior and Redeemer, alone deserving of all worship. Satan’s attacks on my spiritual life stopped soon after.

I began to bury myself in Sacred Scripture, and Divine Providence soon led me to the fullness of Truth in the Catholic Church. In 2017, I was received into the Church, taking our Lady, the Blessed Virgin, as my patron saint in confirmation.

It was around this time that I began to discern my vocation. A strong desire to unite myself to Christ in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass led me to consider the priesthood, and in 2019 I took my first definitive step in this direction, trying my best to respond to God’s call.

At first I packed up my bags and left overseas to France to join the Missions Étrangères de Paris as a propaedeutic [student], thinking that our Lord might be pleased were I to evangelize in the east as a missionary priest. However, after several months of discernment, I realized that this was not my call, so I returned home to the USA to join the seminary and begin the path towards diocesan priesthood.

As I settled into the daily seminary routine and pursued my studies, I began to feel a deep sense of happiness and that I was finally where God wanted me to be. Sadly, Satan would again make his attack, this time on a global scale, as we would all became painfully aware.

Happy in my studies, I decided to do the ‘safe’ thing and get the jab

It was 2020 when I began my studies and, of course, at this time there was still widespread fear about COVID-19. The “vaccines” were about to be rolled out, and there was a lot of disagreement about whether or not the shots were safe. By the end of my spring semester 2021, like so many others, I unfortunately allowed fear to dictate my decision and decided to do the “safe” thing for my family and get the jab.

The ill effects of this poor decision weren’t immediate, so at first it did not occur to me that there was any correlation, but over the course of the next several months I began to experience inflammation in my lower body that caused pain in my back, especially, making it hard to sit. I figured that I just needed to go to the chiropractor, which helped a little, but the inflammation persisted.

That winter I made the unfortunate decision to get “boosted,” and that is when things really took a turn for the worse. Around that same time, I had injured my foot while running down some steps, and I began to feel inflammation around the site of the injury. To my bafflement, I began experiencing soon after a mirror phenomenon of pain and inflammation in my other foot as well, although I had done nothing to injure it.

I figured that I just needed to see a doctor, and that my feet would heal soon, so I went to a podiatrist who put me in a boot for six weeks and told me I would get better. However, he could not explain why my other foot was experiencing the same pattern of pain. By the end of the six weeks, not only was I not better, but the pain in both of my feet had elevated to an extreme burning and tingling.

At this time I was in still at the seminary, and although I managed to finish the semester, it was very difficult to get around and also to focus on my studies while trying to figure out what was going on with my health.

By the summer of 2022, my health continued to get worse. The inflammation and burning spread up my body, leading me to be relegated to a wheelchair. I didn’t have much success during the summer with doctors, so eventually I was forced to take a medical leave from my studies. It wasn’t until some friends pointed out to me that I had been “vaccinated” soon before the decline of my health that I began to realize the likely connection.

While at seminary, Julian took two COVID jabs. Now he is in a wheelchair with autoimmune diseases and chronic pain. Conventional medicine holds out no hope, but the Spero Clinic helps patients who are suffering from severe chronic pain. Could you help Julian return to health and to his studies for the Catholic priesthood?

Mercury toxicity, complex regional pain syndrome, POTS

It has been a year now since I first took my medical leave, and I have had to surrender my status as a seminarian on an indefinite basis. During the course of the past year, it was found that I have mercury toxicity, which of course is a rare thing to have, but — not surprisingly — mercury has since been demonstrated to be in the COVID jabs along with other toxic heavy metals.

I was also diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), a rare autoimmune disease rooted in dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, which usually begins with a minor trauma (in my case the foot injury) to which the nervous system, being in a compromised state, has an over-reactive response. This causes the trauma to exacerbate into a full blown inflammatory disease, in many cases spreading to the entire body. This is what has already happened to me. People with CRPS say it feels like they are being burned alive, and I attest that this has unfortunately been my experience, especially during really bad flare-ups.

Additionally, although I am still being tested, one of my doctors strongly believes that I have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), another debilitating autoimmune disease rooted in autonomic nervous system dysfunction. It affects one’s heart and blood pressure. NBC News recently did a story on the spike of people being diagnosed with POTS after getting COVID. I have never had COVID, but I wouldn’t put it past the jabs to have the same effect.

I have been to the ER so many times in the past year that I have lost count. I have seen so many specialists, and yet my life still consists of sitting in my house day after day in crippling pain praying that our Lord would restore me so that I can return to my studies and become His priest. Although I know God can bring good out of my suffering, it is a very heavy burden to me and my family. I have tried a lot of the detox protocols put out by doctors and researchers trying to help vaccine injured people, and although I have seen some improvements, my development has not been linear, for other aspects of my health have continued to decline, leaving me with a daily struggle to survive.

It is for this reason that I am seeking the help of the LifeSiteNews community so that I may receive the proper treatment to regain my health and resume my vocation. To this end I reached out to LifeSite for help in raising awareness of my story. I was happy when they agreed to help me promote a LifeFunder for my cause as well – it was truly an answer to prayer.

For both of the autoimmune conditions that I suffer with, the allopathic (that is, mainstream) medicine world says there is no cure. Removing the mercury from my body is a step towards health, but my doctor says there is no guarantee that my autonomic nervous system would return to normal function afterwards: my body would still have to be “reset” somehow.

There is a clinic in Arkansas called the Spero Clinic. At this clinic, Dr. Katinka van der Merwe and her team use a Neurologic Recovery Program to help patients who are suffering from severe chronic pain like CRPS. They focus on neurologic rehabilitation and restoring balance to the autonomic nervous system, and consequently their treatment is effective for other chronic conditions rooted in the same type of neurological dysfunction, such as POTS. Dr. Katinka’s world-leading 12 Week Neurologic Rehabilitation program helps treat hopeless cases worldwide, and as of 2021 they have an 84% remission rate. Traditional allopathic medicine offers nothing more than pain management and physical therapy for CRPS, which alone are often ineffective, leaving people to suffer with it for the rest of their lives.

Unfortunately, insurance companies choose not to cover the treatments at Spero because they do not fall in line with traditional allopathic modalities. For this reason, many people seeking treatment with my condition at this clinic have had to fundraise, which is what I am seeking to do.

The average cost of treatment at Spero ranges from $32,000 to $41,000 depending on the severity of one’s condition. It is my hope to raise at least $60,000 to $70,000, which would cover the cost of treatment, travel, lodging, and food for myself and another person who will accompany me to assist in getting to my appointments.

The Spero Clinic has its own website and YouTube channel with many success stories posted on it. They may be found here.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I hope you will prayerfully consider lending your support so that I may continue my journey to priesthood.

May God bless you.

In Christ through Mary,

Julian Young (I took two COVID jabs while studying to be a Catholic priest. Now I’m in a wheelchair.)

One of the great ironies in Mr. Young’s compelling account of his harrowing experience, including how physicians refused to make the link between his condition and the vaccine he received, is that his “pope,” Jorge Mario Bergoglio would never admit that the vaccines, which he endorsed unequivocally, have injured or killed anyone. He is in league with the globalists and Big Pharma as he is but an agent of Antichrist who teaches all that is contradictory to what Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ has revealed exclusively to His true Church for its infallible explication and eternal safekeeping. We must pray for Mr. Young’s full restoration to health and for him to understand that the counterfeit church of conciliarism is not the Catholic Church.

Additionally, Dr. Peter McCullough provided his extensive readership with the story of paramedic, who told of his experiences on calls with those injured by the vaccines:

Over the course of the pandemic I have been honored to meet many individuals who went above and beyond to help others during crisis. I want to dedicate this issue of Courageous Discourse to the memoir of Oklahoma Paramedic Harry Fisher. He recently appears on America Out Loud Talk Radio, the McCullough Report. These are Fisher’s words.

“My name is Harry Fisher, I am a national registered Paramedic and I’ve been an EMT since 1997. I’ve been in two branches of the US military, Army and Airforce, both as a medic.

After honorably discharging from the military I’ve been working as a street medic on an ambulance, and working everything from the ER to the ICU.

During the heart of COVID 19 I was working in Oklahoma City for a prominent fast paced 911 (emergency) service. Which is where I developed further understanding of our current corrupted health care system and the lengths the system will go through to demonize, discriminate, and demoralize anyone that stands up against it.

I have been a paratrooper and a medic for an air wing, consistently put my patients, brothers and sisters, and our national interest as my top priority, second only to God and my children. That said, when I spoke out about the horrific things I was witnessing, do to rigid financially driven protocols, and mandated experimental mRNA shots, I was called a terrorist by social media and shunned by many of my peers. Needless to say, this was quite disheartening.

This is all true and documented by patient care reports along with countless hours of posts made by me to combat the real misinformation driven by a presumably bought mass media, government officials, and all that follow their lead.

I received a 911 call while working on an ambulance in Oklahoma City. The call came out over the radio as a “full arrest,” meaning someone not breathing, no pulse. Upon arrival to the scene I realized it was a Pfizer vaccination line. They had just “rolled out” the Pfizer mRNA covid shots for the older age group. This line had many people waiting in it.

A nurse on scene waved us to the front of the line where we encountered an unresponsive female laying supine on the floor pulseless with CPR in progress, CPR had been initiated by the fire dept that arrived shortly before my crews arrival. The Patient was there for her “second dose of Pfizer and suddenly collapsed.” Per the nurse on scene distributing the injections. While continuing life saving efforts the nurse on scene stated “this is the second one in two weeks.” Even through the high intensity treatment this information rang in my head like a loud bell. A resounding warning siren. Though I continued CPR, intubation, cardiac medications, and inevitably transported the patient to the nearest capable ER where the patient was pronounced deceased by the ER physician.

Prior to leaving the initial scene, while placing the patient on a back board for transport, I noticed no individual leaving the line. They were waiting their turn, as they watched us perform life saving measures on a person right in front of them.

A treatment that was said to be safe by every news station and most politicians, was proving to be anything but safe, yet at this time I could not in good conscience speak to the validity of this hypothesis based on one or even two known deaths in a Pfizer mRNA shot line.

My next duty station was in NYC, lower Manhattan, a COVID-19 filled ICU. I also worked the ER in rotation, in order to give us a break from the ICU.

The mainstream news was still claiming the vaccines were completely safe at this time, and our President had even said ‘you do not get sick or die if you have had your COVID-19 vaccine.’ This was completely false information. We were seeing people die of covid after being “inoculated” with this new technology. Most didn’t want to speak of it. One PA literally said “I’m choosing to put my head in the sand.”

The irritation from the lack of true consent was building within me.

It was at this point we began to see young heart attacks and young strokes post mRNA technology coming into the ER. Most medical professionals were not asking if the patients received the mRNA injections. Though I would take it upon myself to ask loved ones or the patient, if they could speak, whether or not “they had the covid 19 shots.” The lack of investigation after mass experimentation in itself was criminal. The lack of care, unethical. It was a very dark time to be in the medical field.

After months in NYC I took a contract as a paramedic on a native reservation in North Dakota. It was on this reservation I finally had enough information via patient testimony and post mRNA injection witnessed injuries to come out on social media and formally warn the public.

The first video I posted in regards to mRNA injury I stated “I’m a paramedic that has done CPR in a Pfizer line, while performing CPR the nurse stated this is the second one in two weeks.” That video gained millions of views and thousands of comments. Comments of people confirming lost loved ones post mRNA shots, and injuries post mRNA shots. The video along with all testimonies were wrongfully removed within 24 hours. The reason given by Tik Tok for removal was “terroristic activity.”

Being that I have been in two branches of the US military, and simply providing factual information, this did not sit well with me. Inevitably after trying to post more information pertaining to eye witness accounts I was completely removed from most social media platforms. Platforms that we now know were being monitored and censored by our own US government agencies..

The list goes on and on.

The amount of spontaneous abortions in one night was so frequent staff was having difficulty The North Dakota native reservation was hit extremely hard by the mRNA technology. A 20 plus year nurse lost her husband from a heart attack the day after his injection. The same man’s brother died a week after his injection. Our nurse manager had to be intubated due to multiple blood clots in her lungs after her second mRNA injectioncleaning blood from the waiting room chairs. An ER doctor pulled me aside inside the ER and said “we are experiencing genocide.” That ER doctor has since retired early from the medical field.

In conclusion, since the roll out of this biomedical atrocity I have spoken to and witness enough to know we were lied to, manipulated, and murdered by a greedy establishment forcing good people to do things they wouldn’t have normally done, to keep their jobs—their livelihood.

I have witnessed tears, blood, and regret, from so many people who never thought the medical system, pharmaceutical companies, mainstream media, politicians, movie stars, and other paid influencers, would ever hurt them. Sadly, we were all wrong. Sadly we were all lied to, and those who have spoken out from the start, were tortured by a system that cares not for the people, but for corporate financial interest.

Consent was not given. Is currently not given, and we are still at war with this genocidal controlled entity that we are being forced to call the societal norm.

Prayers for those who were harmed and lost. Prayers for those still fighting the good fight, trying to provide proper consent.

May God be with you,

Harry Fisher, NRP” (Pandemic Memoir of Paramedic Harry Fisher.)

This is more than anecdotal as Mr. Fisher’s experiences are those of so many others in the United States of America and around the world.

Yes, the same people who kill babies in their mothers’ wombs and use all manner of utilitarian sophisms to justify killing after birth embarked on a scheme to deny patients access to early intervention care with the use of vitamins and natural supplements in addition to such medications as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, subjecting those infected with the SARS CoV-2 virus to cookie-cutter protocols that exacerbated their conditions and killed many patients, especially those with preexisting comorbidities, and then developing, mandating and administering a series of vaccines that have demonstrably killed and injured large numbers of people (all while former President Donald John Trump still cleaves to the abject fiction his Operation Warp Speed saved 100 million lives) in a genocide of massive proportions. Those who can kill babies can kill anyone and everyone else with impunity, and the ideologues of the false opposite of the naturalist “left” are delighted that the rigid protocols and the vaccines have killed people as they want depopulation to “save the planet:”

Big Pharma, for its part, is making billions of dollars from the vaccines and their soulless leaders do not care about the harm their products are doing as they know that they are indemnified by Congressional law from ever having to pay victims what they deserve to be paid for their own injuries and/or the deaths of their loved ones and, additionally, are indemnified by Big Media and Big Tech from ever having to face genuine scrutiny for the genocide they have imposed upon the world, although they are going to face an exacting scrutiny from Christ the King when they die, and that they will not have anyone to indemnify them at that time as the devil and his fellow demons will torment them for being so stupid as to do their bidding for him.

Concluding Remarks

As Catholics, we know that everything happens within the Providence of God, Who has from all eternity ordained for us to live in these times when the forces of hell that are served so zealously by both the lords of Modernity in the world and the lords of Modernism within the counterfeit church of conciliarism. The graces won for us by His Divine Son, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, during His Passion and Death on the wood of the Holy Cross on Good Friday and that flow into our immortal souls through the loving hands of Our Lady, she who is the Mediatrix of All Graces, are more than sufficient for us to prosper under the crosses we are being asked to carry at this time as we seek to give honor and glory unto the Most Holy Trinity and to make a bit of reparation for our sins by offering up everything we must suffer as the consecrated slaves of Christ the King through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of His Most Blessed Mother.

nothing we endure in this passing vale of tears that is the Church Militant on earth is the equal of what one of our leas Venial Sins caused Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to suffer in His Sacred Humanity during His Passion and Death. The more we complain about the crosses we are asked to bear you see, the less merit we earn. The more we refuse to give to Our Lady's Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart our patient endurance of the crosses that God Himself has fashioned for each of us from all eternity, therefore, will be the more that we are likely to lose chances for eternal merit, if not seek to anesthetize it altogether. An embrace of the Cross of the Divine Redeemer is thus meant to fortify us, especially as the Sacrifice of the Cross is re-presented in an unbloody manner clearly and unambiguously in the Immemorial Mass of Tradition. An embrace of the Cross is meant to have us forget--and I mean absolutely forget--the travails of this life in order to focus on the crown of glory that awaits us if we persevere until our dying breaths in states of sanctifying grace.

An irony of fallen human nature is that it is sometimes easier to endure larger crosses than smaller ones. It is sometimes easier to deal with a terminal disease or a chronic, debilitating illness than it is to suffer the barbs of calumny and misunderstanding directed at us by friends or associates, no less than by absolute strangers who have never met us but think that they are qualified to speak about our own lives. It is, though, in the patient endurance of these lesser, although certainly painful, crosses, that we can find a special union with Our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Who was calumniated and misunderstood throughout His life, yes, even in His home town of Nazareth itself. Climbing the ladder of sanctity, which involves a lot of backsliding for those of us still stuck in the Purgative Stage of the spiritual life, involves coming to this important realization: the intentions of all hearts and the circumstances of all lives will be made manifest only on the Last Day at the General Judgment of the Living and the Dead. We must be content to wait until then for an "understanding" of our lives. It will be at that time and that time alone that all of the souls of the just will be reconciled one unto the other. The disputes and contentions and envies of the past will be wiped away. Growing in the spiritual life requires us to want to be misunderstood and calumniated, to be patient in the face of false accusations and humiliations, to pray fervently for those who misunderstand us and to forgive right readily just as we are forgiven by Our Lord in the Sacrament of Penance through the words and actions of an alter Christus, acting in persona Christi.

There is, of course, a much simpler way to put all of this: Our Lord loved us so much that He was willing to endure the scandal of the Holy Cross, heedless of Its shame, as Saint Paul teaches us, in order to pay back in His Sacred Humanity the debt of our own sins that was owed to Him in His Infinity as God. We must show our love for God by enduring the just suffering that He sends to us as a means to purify us and as a means of uniting us more fully with His own Holy Cross, giving more and more and more by means of His ineffable graces to His Blessed Mother's Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart. If we say we love God, you see, we must prove it by our willingness to accept with absolute serenity and equanimity each and every cross, whether great or small, we encounter in our daily lives.

The path to sanctity that a soul travels as a member of the Church Militant on the face of this earth is fraught with perils. The devil prowls around the world like a roaring lion seeking the ruin of souls. He attempts to lay countless traps to ensnare us into the pit of lukewarmness and sloth. We must rely upon the intercession of the Queen of All Saints, Our Lady, and all of the angels and saints to help us to resist the wiles of the ancient adversary and his minions, especially by fleeing from all occasions of sin, withdrawing as far as is possible from a culture that is diabolically disoriented, and by remaining steadfast in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament and to the Mother of God as the twin pillars of our interior lives. We need to study the lives of the saints and to imitate their virtues. We need to rely upon their assistance from Heaven in the Church Triumphant so that we might join with them one day in an unceasing chorus of praise before the Throne of God Himself.

Unlike the sin of Presumption upon which Protestantism is founded, the true Faith, that is, the Catholic Faith, teaches us that none of us is assured of his salvation. It is possible for a person on the path to high sanctity to lose his soul. We must, therefore, work out our salvation in fear and in trembling, never taking anything for granted, understanding that to die in a state of Sanctifying Grace is itself a grace from God that we must pray to receive and then to cooperate with to the point of shedding blood. We must for this every single day of our lives without fail. No soul is saved until he perseveres to the end in a state of sanctifying grace. We must pray for grace of perseverance until the end.

Conversely, a person caught up in a lifetime of sin has no reason to commit the sin of Despair. It is possible for a great sinner to be converted and to scale the heights of sanctity, to become a great lover of God as He has revealed Himself to us exclusively through His true Church. The graces won for us by Our Lord and that come to us through Our Lady, the Mediatrix of all graces, are so powerful as to make the Sauls of our own day into new Saint Pauls, the Magdalenes of our own day into new Saint Mary Magadelenes, the hedonists and Manicheans of our own day into the new Saint Augustines, the cavalier seekers of adventure and luxury into the new Saint Francis of Assisis. No soul is lost until he or she dies in a state of final impenitence. We must for the conversion of sinners every day.

The prayer taught in 1916 by the Angel of Fatima during his third apparition to Lucia dos Santos and her cousins, Francisco and Jacinto Marto, should be one that we memorize and recite frequently during the day, both for ourselves and for everyone in the world:

My God, I adore, I hope, I trust and I love Thee. I ask forgiveness for all those who do not adore, do not hope, do not trust, and do not love Thee.

Oh Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly.

I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences by which He is offended.

By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners.

Amen.

God has given us an entire company of His friends in the Church Triumphant to intercede for us. They are waiting for us to ask them to help us. Most of the members of the Church Triumphant are not known to us. Their names have been inscribed in the Book of Life by God Himself and will not be revealed to all until the Last Day. These anonymous saints, whose participation in Our Lord's Easter victory over sin and eternal death we commemorate today, All Saints Day, are content to wait until that Last Day for us to see how much they aided us in moments of temptation or suffering, how much they consoled us in moments of sorrow, how much they encouraged us to persevere in the Faith and to grow in love of God and in appreciation of and thanksgiving for the Communion of Saints that comprises the true Church. Ah, yes, and what inexpressible joy awaits us in the glory of the Beatific Vision when the souls of the just are united together in one hymn of praise, basking in the warmth of the love of God and in the knowledge that that bright, burning love can never be lost!

We must aspire to Heaven with every beat of our hearts, consecrated as they must be to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and to Heart formed therefrom, the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. We must meditate on First and Last Things every day, concentrating on the Four Last Things (Death, Judgment, Heaven, Hell) after we make our nightly examination of conscience every night. We must lift up our minds and our hearts to God through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, keeping in mind this simple reality: how do my words and actions this day look in light of eternity? To this end, of course, we must read about the lives of the saints, who provide us an inexhaustible treasury to inspire us to climb the heights of personal sanctity so as to enjoy the glory of the Beatific Vision for all eternity. If we save our souls, good readers, we will look back fondly on these difficult times and, as Saint Therese of the Child Jesus and Holy Face noted, will wish we could have suffered more and sacrificed more purely for the love God as He has revealed Himself to us through His true Church.

We are not escaping the difficulties of the moment, however, by means a “restoring America,” which is founded on false premises by men who truly hated Our Lord and His true Church that were bound to produce the totalitarianism of the moment, nor by having recourse to a “restoration” of the demigod of “democracy,” which must, absent the loving, motherly guidance of Holy Mother Church, degenerate into the mobocracy we are witnessing now.

Dom Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, the great Dominican foe of Modernism and the Twentieth Century’s greatest exponent of the works of Saint Thomas Aquinas, explained the flaws inherent in democracies that lead to their decay and dissolution over time:

Democracy is an imperfect regime, as a regime in ratione regiminis, as a result of the lack of unity and continuity in the direction of interior and exterior affairs. Also this regime should only be for the perfect already capable of directing themselves—those virtuous and competent enough to pronounce as is fitting upon the very complicated problems on which the life of a great people depends. But it is always true to say as Saint Thomas noted that these virtuous and competent men are extremely rare; and democracy, supposing such perfection among subjects, cannot give it to them. From this point of view, democracy is a bit in politics what quietism is in spirituality; it supposes man has arrived, at the age or the state of perfection, even though he still may be a child. In treating him as a perfect person, democracy does not give him what is required to become one.

Since true virtue united to true competence is a rare thing among men, since the majority among them are incapable of governing and they have a need of being led, the regime which is the best for them is the one which can make up for their imperfection. This regimen perfectum in ratione regiminis, by reason of unity, continuity, and efficacy of direction towards a single end which is difficult to achieve is monarchy. Above all a tempered monarchy which is always attentive to the different forms of national activity. It is better than democracy or than the feudal regime. Monarchy assures the interior and exterior peace of a great nation, and permits her to long endure. (Dom Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, “On Royal Government: translated by Andrew Strain, On Royal Government)

Any form of government that is not guided the common language provided by the Holy Faith is bound to degenerate into the sort of chaos that characterizes public life as being stained by crime and, ultimately, brings unbridled totalitarianism in its wake, something that Pope Leo XIII explained in Tametsi Futura Prospicientibus, November 1, 1900:

This generative and conservative power of the virtues that make for salvation is therefore lost, whenever morality is dissociated from divine faith. A system of morality based exclusively on human reason robs man of his highest dignity and lowers him from the supernatural to the merely natural life. Not but that man is able by the right use of reason to know and to obey certain principles of the natural law. But though he should know them all and keep them inviolate through life-and even this is impossible without the aid of the grace of our Redeemer-still it is vain for anyone without faith to promise himself eternal salvation. "If anyone abide not in Me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up and cast him into the fire, and he burneth" john xv., 6). "He that believeth not shall be condemned" (Mark xvi., 16). We have but too much evidence of the value and result of a morality divorced from divine faith. How is it that, in spite of all the zeal for the welfare of the masses, nations are in such straits and even distress, and that the evil is daily on the increase? We are told that society is quite able to help itself; that it can flourish without the assistance of Christianity, and attain its end by its own unaided efforts. Public administrators prefer a purely secular system of government. All traces of the religion of our forefathers are daily disappearing from political life and administration. What blindness! Once the idea of the authority of God as the Judge of right and wrong is forgotten, law must necessarily lose its primary authority and justice must perish: and these are the two most powerful and most necessary bonds of society. Similarly, once the hope and expectation of eternal happiness is taken away, temporal goods will be greedily sought after. Every man will strive to secure the largest share for himself. Hence arise envy, jealousy, hatred. The consequences are conspiracy, anarchy, nihilism. There is neither peace abroad nor security at home. Public life is stained with crime. (Pope Leo XIII, Tametsi Futura Prospicientibus, November 1, 1900.)

Indeed, as we see all too clearly from the daily headlines and instant news reports, public life is stained with crime.

Alas, public life is stained with crimes upon persons and property in a visible manner because most men, no matter where they stand along the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic naturalistic fault lines, sin, objectively speaking, with impunity in ways that do not make headlines against the binding precepts of the Divine Law and the Natural Law every day. These sins, which are very visible to Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Who shed droplets of His Most Precious Blood in his Agony in the Garden as He contemplated their number, gravity and enormity, make men more disposed to commit wanton acts of violence against others. Men whose lives are steeped in sin and whose only thoughts look downward upon the earth not upward towards Heaven will be prone to be agitated by the events of this passing world. Some such men will even go beyond agitation and seek to do bodily harm to others.

Dr. George O’Brien, writing a century ago, explained the totalitarianism that must arise as a result of Protestantism’s overthrow of the Social Reign of Christ the King as It must be exercised by the true Church, that Catholic Church:

The thesis we have endeavoured to present in this essay is, that the two great dominating schools of modern economic thought have a common origin. The capitalist school, which, basing its position on the unfettered right of the individual to do what he will with his own, demands the restriction of government interference in economic and social affairs within the narrowest possible limits, and the socialist school, which, basing its position on the complete subordination of the individual to society, demands the socialization of all the means of production, if not all of wealth, face each other today as the only two solutions of the social question; they are bitterly hostile towards each other, and mutually intolerant and each is at the same weakened and provoked by the other. In one respect, and in one respect only, are they identical--they can both be shown to be the result of the Protestant Reformation.

We have seen the direct connection which exists between these modern schools of economic thought and their common ancestor. Capitalism found its roots in the intensely individualistic spirit of Protestantism, in the spread of anti-authoritative ideas from the realm of religion into the realm of political and social thought, and, above all, in the distinctive Calvinist doctrine of a successful and prosperous career being the outward and visible sign by which the regenerated might be known. Socialism, on the other hand, derived encouragement from the violations of established and prescriptive rights of which the Reformation afforded so many examples, from the growth of heretical sects tainted with Communism, and from the overthrow of the orthodox doctrine on original sin, which opened the way to the idea of the perfectibility of man through institutions. But, apart from these direct influences, there were others, indirect, but equally important. Both these great schools of economic thought are characterized by exaggerations and excesses; the one lays too great stress on the importance of the individual, and other on the importance of the community; they are both departures, in opposite directions, from the correct mean of reconciliation and of individual liberty with social solidarity. These excesses and exaggerations are the result of the free play of private judgment unguided by authority, and could not have occurred if Europe had continued to recognize an infallible central authority in ethical affairs.

The science of economics is the science of men's relations with one another in the domain of acquiring and disposing of wealth, and is, therefore, like political science in another sphere, a branch of the science of ethics. In the Middle Ages, man's ethical conduct, like his religious conduct, was under the supervision and guidance of a single authority, which claimed at the same time the right to define and to enforce its teaching. The machinery for enforcing the observance of medieval ethical teaching was of a singularly effective kind; pressure was brought to bear upon the conscience of the individual through the medium of compulsory periodical consultations with a trained moral adviser, who was empowered to enforce obedience to his advice by the most potent spiritual sanctions. In this way, the whole conduct of man in relation to his neighbours was placed under the immediate guidance of the universally received ethical preceptor, and a common standard of action was ensured throughout the Christian world in the all the affairs of life. All economic transactions in particular were subject to the jealous scrutiny of the individual's spiritual director; and such matters as sales, loans, and so on, were considered reprehensible and punishable if not conducted in accordance with the Christian standards of commutative justice.

The whole of this elaborate system for the preservation of justice in the affairs of everyday life was shattered by the Reformation. The right of private judgment, which had first been asserted in matters of faith, rapidly spread into moral matters, and the attack on the dogmatic infallibility of the Church left Europe without an authority to which it could appeal on moral questions. The new Protestant churches were utterly unable to supply this want. The principle of private judgment on which they rested deprived them of any right to be listened to whenever they attempted to dictate moral precepts to their members, and henceforth the moral behaviour of the individual became a matter to be regulated by the promptings of his own conscience, or by such philosophical systems of ethics as he happened to approve. The secular state endeavoured to ensure that dishonesty amounting to actual theft or fraud should be kept in check, but this was a poor and ineffective substitute for the powerful weapon of the confessional. Authority having once broken down, it was but a single step from Protestantism to rationalism; and the way was opened to the development of all sorts of erroneous systems of morality. (Dr. George O'Brien, An Essay on the Economic Efforts of the Reformation, IHS Press, Norfolk, Virginia, 2003.)

The entire American regime is built on on a web of Protestant and Judeo-Masonic lies. Catholics have been so uncritically immersed in these naturalistic, anti-Incarnational, religiously indifferentist and semi-Pelagian lies for so long that even the believers among them look at the world in merely naturalistic terms, convincing themselves that there is something short of Catholicism that can serve, at least as a "stopgap measure," as the foundation of personal and social order. Catholics prone to the "leftist" bent of naturalism and those prone to the "rightist" bent of naturalism may disagree about many of the "details" of naturalism. However, both sets of Catholics are united in their quest to find some secular, religiously indifferentist, nondenominational or interdenominational means to create a "better" world, looking to the farce of electoral politics as the focal point in this quest.

This is an illusion. Indeed, this is delusional. It is madness.

A nation that is founded and sustained on a web of naturalistic lies must degenerate over the course of time. This degeneration has been aided by the fact that most Catholics have lost the true sacraments as a result of the conciliar revolution, plunging millions upon millions of them into abject paganism as they have lost any sense of the Faith and behave in a manner befitting their long ago barbarian ancestors in Europe before they were Christianized in the First Millennium of the Church. They want their money and their bread and circuses.

The babies?

The innocence of their own children?

Ah, we must live in the "real" world of endless pleasures and honors.

This world of Modernity has reached a point of no return as its lords are as one with the lords of Modernism in the counterfeit church of conciliarism, and this world of Modernity was described as follows by Father Frederick William Faber in the Creator and Creature over one hundred sixty-three years ago now:

The question of worldliness is a very difficult one, and one which we would gladly have avoided, had it been in our power to do so. But it is in too many ways connected with our subject, to allow of its being passed over in silence. In the first place, a thoughtful objector will naturally say, If the relation between the Creator and the creature is such as has been laid down in the first eight chapters, and furthermore if it is as manifest and undeniable as it is urged to be, how comes it to pass that it is not more universally, or at least more readily, admitted than it is? Almost all the phenomena of the world betray a totally opposite conviction, and reveal to us an almost unanimous belief in men, that they are on a quite different footing with God from that one, which is here proclaimed to be the only true and tenable one. There must be at least some attempt to explain this discrepancy between what we see and what we are taught. The explanation, we reply, is to be found in what Christians call worldliness. It is this which stands in the way of God's honor, this which defrauds Him of the tribute due to Him from His creatures, this which blinds their eyes to His undeniable rights and prerogatives. How God's own world comes to stand between Himself and the rational soul, how friendship with it is enmity with Him--indeed an account of the whole matter must be gone into, in order to show, first, that the influence of the world does account for the non-reception of right views about God, and, secondly, that the world is in no condition to be called as a witness, because of the essential falsehood of its character. This identical falsehood about God is its very life, energy, significance, and condemnation. The right view of God is not unreal, because the world ignores it. On the contrary, it is because it is real that the unreal world ignores it, and the world's ignoring it is, so far forth, an argument in favor of the view.

But not only does this question of worldliness present itself to us in connection with the whole teaching of the first eight chapters; it is implicated in the two objections which have already been considered, namely, the difficulty of salvation and the fewness of the saved. If it is easy to be saved, whence the grave semblance of its difficulty? If the majority of adult catholics are actually saved, because salvation is easy, why it is necessary to draw so largely on the unknown regions of the death-bed, in order to make up our majority? Why should not salvation be almost universal, if the pardon of sin is so easy, grace so abundant, and all that is wanted is a real earnestness about the interests of our souls? If you acknowledge, as you do, that the look of men's lives, even of the lives of believers, is not as if they were going to be saved, and that they are going to be saved in reality in spite of appearances, what is the explanation of these appearances, when the whole process is so plain and easy? To all this the answer is, that sin is a partial explanation, and the devil is a partial explanation, but that the grand secret lies in worldliness. That is the chief disturbing force, the prime counteracting power. It is this mainly, which keeps down the number of the saved; it is this which makes the matter seem so difficult which is intrinsically so easy; nay, it is this which is a real difficulty, though not such an overwhelming one as to make salvation positively difficult as a whole. Plainly then the phenomenon of worldliness must be considered here, else it will seem as if an evident objection, and truly the weightiest of all objections, had not been taken into account, and thus an air of insecurity will be thrown, not only over the answer to the preceding two objections, but also over the whole argument of the first eight chapters. (Father Frederick Faber, The Creator and Creature, written 1856 and republished by TAN Books and Publishers, pp. 314-315. The entirely of this passage is appended below.)

We must remember the truth that it is impossible to realize sustained a right ordering of men and their nations as long as they seek to protect that which is repugnant to the peace and happiness of eternity under the cover of the civil law:

The more closely the temporal power of a nation aligns itself with the spiritual, and the more it fosters and promotes the latter, by so much the more it contributes to the conservation of the commonwealth. For it is the aim of the ecclesiastical authority by the use of spiritual means, to form good Christians in accordance with its own particular end and object; and in doing this it helps at the same time to form good citizens, and prepares them to meet their obligations as members of a civil society. This follows of necessity because in the City of God, the Holy Roman Catholic Church, a good citizen and an upright man are absolutely one and the same thing. How grave therefore is the error of those who separate things so closely united, and who think that they can produce good citizens by ways and methods other than those which make for the formation of good Christians. For, let human prudence say what it likes and reason as it pleases, it is impossible to produce true temporal peace and tranquillity by things repugnant or opposed to the peace and happiness of eternity. (Silvio Cardinal Antoniano, quoted by Pope Pius XI in Divini Illius Magistri, December 31, 1929.)

Although the proximate antecedent roots to the chastisement that faces us today date back to certain elements of the Renaissance and, as mentioned earlier, the Protestant Revolution and the subsequent rise and triumph of naturalism, the rapid promotion of evil under cover of the civil law has occurred in the past fifty years in no small measure as a result of the counterfeit church of conciliarism's "reconciliation" with the principles of Modernity and as a result of its sacramentally barren liturgical rites that have predisposed so many millions of Catholics to embrace the "secular magisterium" of the world and to scoff at any residue of Catholic teaching that remains in that conciliar church.

We, though, must be reminded of the truths taught by such great apostles of Christ the King as the late Louis-Edouard-François-Desiré Cardinal Pie, whose writing had the support of Popes Pius IX, Leo XIII, St. Pius X and Benedict XV (the latter two long after Cardinal Pie's death, having studied his writings in great depth and approving of them without any complaint), wrote in the Nineteenth Century:

"If Jesus Christ," proclaims Msgr. Pie in a magnificent pastoral instruction, "if Jesus Christ Who is our light whereby we are drawn out of the seat of darkness and from the shadow of death, and Who has given to the world the treasure of truth and grace, if He has not enriched the world, I mean to say the social and political world itself, from the great evils which prevail in the heart of paganism, then it is to say that the work of Jesus Christ is not a divine work. Even more so: if the Gospel which would save men is incapable of procuring the actual progress of peoples, if the revealed light which is profitable to individuals is detrimental to society at large, if the scepter of Christ, sweet and beneficial to souls, and perhaps to families, is harmful and unacceptable for cities and empires; in other words, if Jesus Christ to whom the Prophets had promised and to Whom His Father had given the nations as a heritage, is not able to exercise His authority over them for it would be to their detriment and temporal disadvantage, it would have to be concluded that Jesus Christ is not God". . . .

"To say Jesus Christ is the God of individuals and of families, but not the God of peoples and of societies, is to say that He is not God. To say that Christianity is the law of individual man and is not the law of collective man, is to say that Christianity is not divine. To say that the Church is the judge of private morality, but has nothing to do with public and political morality, is to say that the Church is not divine."

In fine, Cardinal Pie insists:

"Christianity would not be divine if it were to have existence within individuals but not with regard to societies."

Fr. de St. Just asks, in conclusion:

"Could it be proven in clearer terms that social atheism conduces to individualistic atheism?" (Selected Writings of Cardinal Pie of Poitiers, Catholic Action Resource Center.)

Our hope, therefore, is in Christ the King, not in political "saviours" of the "left" or the "right" nor in "conservative" "cardinals" who refuse to recognize that they have enable heresy and error, including religious liberty, separation of Church and State and false ecumenism, in their own right

We need Our Lady's help, especially by means of her Most Holy Rosary, in these troubling times as without the graces she sends us we will be prone to view the world through the eyes of naturalism and not through the supernatural eyes of the Catholic Faith.

The world in which we live knoweth not Christ the King and His true Church and knoweth not that sin, which maketh men and their nations miserable, is more deadly than any virus, including the coronavirus.

We must make more sacrifices.

We must pray more Rosaries.

We must, if at all possible in this time of apostasy and betrayal, spend more time before the Blessed Sacrament in prayer.

Catholicism is the one and only foundation of personal and social order, and it is because the lords of conciliarism have abandoned the Catholic Faith and exalted "Man" and his "ability" to "better" the world that we find ourselves deep in an abyss caused by the concentration of almost all philosophical errors and theological heresies that have been known in salvation history from which the only escape is through Our Lady's Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart as we continue to pray as many Rosaries each day as our state-in-life permits.

On the Feast of Saint Camillus de Lellis

Saint Camillus de Lellis was a saint who was "made" by God directly after a life of sin. He was a headstrong, heartless young boy who was cruel to other children. He threw a rock at a girl who told him that she was going to report his bad behavior to her parents, telling her, "Good. You can tell them about this, too!" before launching his projectile. He caused great heartache to his saintly mother, who prayed the same kind of copious tears that Saint Monica had said for her wayward son, Augustine.

There was a difference, though: Saint Augustine lived a life of wanton pleasures before he was baptized while Saint Camillus de Lellis had had the benefit of infant Baptism. Camillus de Lellis simply rejected the graces that God sent to him through the loving hands of Our Lady, she who is the Mediatrix of All Graces, preferring his disordered will to the love of God. There was another difference: Saint Camillus's bad behavior brought his mother to an earthly death while he was yet a young boy. This made it possible for her, purged of whatever self-love and faults she possessed, to pray for her more perfectly from eternity than she ever could while on the face of this earth. It was those prayers from our saint's mother, no doubt, that caused God to intervene directly in his life.

Camillus de Lellis gambled so much that he quite literally lost the shirt off of his back once. He would engage in fisticuffs at the drop of a hat. God had to intervene directly in his life to change it as Camillus de Lellis, despite all of his terrible sins that were driven by his pride and his anger and his greed, had been a chosen soul all along although no one looking at him prior to God's direct intervention would have known that this was so. Perhaps it wise for me to "get out of the way" in order to let Dom Prosper Gueranger, O.S.B., paint the picture with his exquisite perfection as his introduction takes us to the account of the saint's life as found in The Roman Breviary:

The Holy Spirit, who desires to raise our souls above this earth, does not therefore despise our bodies. The whole man is His creature and His temple, and it is the whole man He must lead to eternal happiness. The Body of the Man-God was His masterpiece in material creation; the divine delight He takes in that perfect Body He extends in a measure to ours; for that same Body, framed by Him in the womb of the most pure Virgin, was from the very beginning the model on which ours was formed. In the re-creation which followed the Fall, the Body of the Man-God was the means of the world's redemption; and the economy of our salvation requires that the virtue of His saving Blood should not reach the soul except through the body, the divine sacraments being all applied to the soul through the medium of the senses. Admirable is the harmony of nature and grace; the latter so honours the material part of our being that she will not draw the soul without it to the light and to heaven. For in the unfathomable mystery of sanctification, the senses do not merely serve such as a passage; they themselves experience the power of the sacraments, like the higher faculties of which they are the channels; and the sanctified soul finds the humble companion of her pilgrimage already associated with her in the dignity of divine adoption, which will cause the glorification of our bodies after the resurrection. Hence the care given to the very body of our neighbour is raised to the nobleness of holy charity; for being inspired by this charity, such acts partake of the love wherewith our heavenly Father surrounds even the members of His beloved children. I was sick, and ye visited Me, our Lord will say on the last day, showing that even the infirmities of our fallen state in this land of exile, the bodies of those whom He deigns to call His brethren, share in the dignity belonging by right to the eternal, only-begotten Son of the Father. The Holy Spirit, too, whose office it is to recall to the Church all the words of our Saviour, has certainly not forgotten this one; the seed, falling into the good earth of chosen souls, has produced a hundredfold the fruits of grace and heroic self-devotion. Camillus of Lellis received it lovingly, and the mustard-seed became a great tree offering its shade to the birds of the air. The Order of Regular Clerks, Servants of the Sick, or of Happy Death, deserves the gratitude of mankind; as a sign of heaven's approbation, angels have more than once been seen assisting its members at the bedside of the dying.

The liturgical account of St. Camillus' life is so full that we need to add nothing to it:

Camillus was a born at Bachianico, a town of the diocese of Chieti. He was descended from the noble family of the Lelli, and his mother was sixty years old at the time of his birth. While she was with child with him, she dreamt that she gave birth to a little boy, who was signed on the breast with a cross, and was the leader of a band of children, wearing the same sign. As a young man he followed the career of arms, and gave himself up to a time of worldly vices, but in his twenty-sixth year he was so enlightened by heavenly grace, and seized with so great a sorrow for having offended God, that on the spot, shedding a flood of tears, he firmly resolved unceasingly to to wash away the stains of his past life, and to put on the new man. Therefore on the very day of his conversion, which happened to be the feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin, he hastened to the Friars Minor, who are called Capuchins, and begged most earnestly to be admitted to their number. His request was granted on this and on a subsequent occasion, but each time a horrible ulcer, from which he had suffered before, broke out again upon his leg; wherefore he humbly submitted himself to the designs of Divine Providence, which was preparing him for greater things, and conquering himself he twice laid aside the Franciscan habit, which he had twice asked for and obtained.

He set out for Rome and was received into the hospital called that of the Incurables. His virtues became so well known that the management of the institution was entrusted to him, and he discharged it with the greatest integrity and a truly paternal solicitude. He esteemed himself the servant of all the sick, and was accustomed to make their beds, to wash them, to heal their sores, and to aid them in their last agony with his prayers and pious exhortations. In discharging those offices he gave striking proofs of his wonderful patience, unconquered fortitude, and heroic charity. But when he perceived how great an advantage the knowledge of letters would be would be to him in assisting those in danger of death, to whose service he had devoted his life, he was not ashamed at the age of thirty-two to return again to school and to learn the first elements of grammar among children. Being afterwards promoted in due order to the priesthood, he was joined by several companions and in spite of the opposition attempted by the enemy of the human race, laid the foundation of the Congregation of Regular Clerks, Servants of the Sick. In this work Camillus was wonderfully strengthened by a heavenly voice coming from an image of Christ crucified, which, by an admirable miracle loosing the hands from the wood, stretched them out towards him. He obtained the approbation of his order from the Apostolic See. Its members bind themselves by a fourth and very arduous vow--namely, to minister to the sick, even those infected with the plague. St. Philip Neri, who was his confessor, attested how pleasing this institution was to God, and how greatly it contributed toward the salvation of souls; for he declared that he often saw angels suggesting words to disciples of Camillus, when they were assisting those in their agony.

When he had thus bound himself more strictly than before to the service of the sick, he devoted himself with marvellous ardour to watching over their interest, by night and by day, till his last breath. No labour could tire him, no peril of his life could affright him. He became all to all, and claimed for himself the lowest offices, which he discharged promptly and joyfully, in the humblest manner, often on bended knees, as though he saw Christ Himself present in the sick. In order to be more at the command of all in need, he of his own accord laid aside the general government of the order, and deprived himself of the heavenly delights with which he was inundated during contemplation. His fatherly love for the unfortunate shone out with greatest brilliancy when Rome was suffering first a contagious distemper, and then from a great scarcity of provisions; and also when a dreadful plague was ravaging Nola in Campania. In a word, he was consumed with so great a love of God and his neighbour that he was called an angel, and merited to be helped by the angels in different dangers which threatened him on his journeys. He was endowed with the gift of prophecy, and the grace of healing, and he cold read the secrets of hearts. By his prayers he at one time multiplied food, and at another changed water into wine. At length, worn out by watching, fasting, and ceaseless labour, he seemed to be nothing but skin and bone. he endured courageously five long and troublesome sicknesses, which he used to call the "Mercies of the Lord"; and, strengthened by the sacraments, with the sweet names of Jesus and Mary on his lips, he fell asleep in our Lord, while these words were being said: "May Christ Jesus appear to thee with a sweet and gracious countenance." He died at Rome, at the hour he had foretold, on the day before the Ides of July, in the year of salvation 1614, the sixty-fifth of his age. (Dom Prosper Gueranger, The Liturgical Year, Volume XIII, Time After Pentecost: Book IV, pp. 126-130.)

Saint Camillus de Lellis may have laid aside the Franciscan habit. He lived out the spirit of Saint Francis of Assisi, however, until he had breathed his last on July 14, 1614, as it was in the spirit of the Seraphic Saint, who had led a carefree, frivolous (but not sinful) life as a youth, that our saint of charity to all who needed it regardless of their circumstances or the state of their immortal souls at the time he found them in need exhibited throughout the course of his inspirational service to the sick and the dying.

Saint Camillus de Lellis never viewed someone who was sick as a “burden”, and he never viewed them in a utilitarian cost-benefit manner. He gave to the suffering as he knew he was serving Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ mystically through them. In other words, Saint Camillus de Lellis was the antithesis of the worldly wise Aztecs, who are enabled all too frequently by “well-trained” theological “experts” who have never met a “brain dead” person they did not want to see killed off, and he approached the sick, the suffering and dying in a manner that puts to shame the “palliative care” industry whose minions are trained to incant soothing euphemisms robotically to convince patients and/or their relatives in a program of “care” that winds up killing them in the name of “compassion.”

May every Communion we make and every Rosary we pray help to bring about a true increase of the charity of Christ the King into our immortal souls as we become more detached from the world and more attached to the joys of Heaven itself.
