Daniel, you have covered everything, and I mean "everything" that is relevant to the conversation about COVID and the vaccines.
I have never felt so blessed in my life as to my location and health situation as I do now. My home, and that of my boyfriend, is in a rainforest on a small island in the Pacific Northwest of Canada. The two of us are 61 and 68, and extremely fit with a clean diet and supplementation for optimal health. The lockdowns barely had any effect on our lifestyle.
Our population of 10,000 permanent residents had one of the lowest case counts of the virus anywhere on the planet. Our health authorities' orders have been respectfully followed by the bulk of inhabitants (including myself), and in typical Canadian fashion, up until recently, everyone generally remained kind and calm.
Early in the pandemic, several circumstances formed my personal opinion, and as such, I remain among the unvaccinated, although I say that with much trepidation given the current global disdain and outright assault on those in this category.
I have a rare, genetic auto-immune condition. I can live with it, but I am at risk for every side-effect listed on a pharmaceutical product's monograph. I chose many years ago to fine-tune my immune system with natural medicine, with great success. I have not had a cold or flu for many years. I use a protocol to fight off the sore throats and other symptoms that arise when something is trying to take hold, and have been able to stop infections in their tracks.
When the first, as-yet-unnamed cases began to emerge in Wuhan, we were already dealing with a number of sick people of all ages on the island. Being a small community, colds and seasonal flu tends to spread through the schools, coffee shops, pool, and other places that almost everyone passes through at one point or another. My boyfriend was sicker than he'd ever been in late December of 2019. He coughed for weeks, among other symptoms. I had to work harder than usual to fight off whatever it was that was trying to make me ill as well. As the months went by and more was known about the novel virus, SarsCoV2, some of the local doctors became suspicious that it had caused widespread infections among islanders before it was fully identified in early 2020. I found out that a family had been in Wuhan over Christmas of 2019. They had kids with them that went back into local schools after the holiday. No proof of course, but they may have been "ground zero" for the start of what we now know as COVID here. So many people had it that we may have incurred "herd immunity" naturally quite a while ago.
Given my history with "conspiracy theories" (many of which have proven to be true) and the possibility of personality quirks that you have eloquently described that may be particular to the SPD, I decided to start a deeper dive on information that might be related to much of the bigger global picture as it developed over the months. Incidentally, as an aside, I formulated a theory several decades ago about the biochemical processes of telepathic transmission. I delivered lectures to audiences that included scientists and medical professionals, and was always amazed at the numbers who concurred that there is "something" to the idea that entity attachment is a real possibility. I believe Steiner had outstanding insights into the subject as well.
I recalled a paper in my files that seemed worth a revisit. It is titled "MJ-12: The Technocratic Thread" by Paul Collins & Phillip D. Collins, 2006. I think it is still available on the conspiracyarchive.com website. In it, they note that "Oxford Professor Carroll Quigley also wrote about a dictatorship of 'experts,' suggesting that a cognitive elite 'will replace the democratic voter in control of the political system" (Quigley 866). They relate the changeover of society from democratic to Technocratic with a viable argument based on the alleged MJ-12 documents, which they claim dignify the concept of a Technocracy as specified by a shadowy group of policy professionals established by a secret executive order of President Truman on September 24, 1947.
I knew a long time ago that we would never go back to the old normal. I have sadly watched as friends and family succumb to mainstream media's controlled fear-mongering and expensive advertising campaigns created by the drug companies.
I almost believed them too. I was ready to get the Johnson and Johnson shot, but it was quickly pulled from Canada due to the adverse effects. I have searched deeply for information that might affect my personal health condition with the mRNA shots, and it has not been easy. All the CDC has is that "we don't have the data yet." Now that the current trajectory is indicating further issues with the variants (I think Geert Vandebossche was right) it is indeed proving to be an epic clusterfuck.
Those among my circle of friends and family who are vaxxed have been behaving strangely. I see them curling up and aging faster. Maybe they don't want to admit they are having difficulties. They are quickly pointing the finger at the unvaxxed, parroting media dialogues. I am almost embarrassed to try to explain my situation, so I avoid the conversation at all costs. Many here are unvaxxed, and we speak softly among ourselves. We are artists, musicians, authors, yoga teachers, and kind, loving people who are horrified at the separation and divisiveness being created.
I've noticed that all the G7 countries are reading from the same script. I've made a hobby of scanning news sites from all over the world recently. Israel, Gibraltar, Switzerland, France, the U.K. It is fascinating to see the differences in reporting on the same subject...COVID. I don't want to spend this much time on it, but I am feeling backed into a corner and defensive. I try to keep the peace, and I work hard at diplomacy.
I found out last week that an old friend and former riding student from Arizona is the legal manager for America's Frontline Doctors. A brief chat with her made me happy, and hopeful that if nothing else, a sensible balance of dialogue will soon begin to take place on this cliffhanger of a story affecting all of humanity.
I wish everyone well. May good health prevail. If there is anything evil and nefarious behind this pandemic, I wish for it to be sent back to wherever it came from, never to return to this planet again. I hope we can be blessed with regenerative, restorative, and non-invasive medicine in the future.
There are better products in the pipeline that I hope will be approved soon, and both developed in Canada.
Thank you! I am making an effort to see our future. If "thoughts are like arrows" as some spiritual teachings suggest, we can use specific techniques to project images of benevolence and a healthy society... not one that is ruled by technocracy and a preference for identifying individuals by their QR code status. I very much appreciate your comment .
I agree. These dark lords are Occultists, and we need to use the power of Magick to counter their vision of the future with our own vision. It’s an Etheric War.
The best article I ever read from Daniel and that is saying quite a lot. I wish I had this 13 days ago (before I finally caved in and got the first of two Moderna "vax" shots. Note, the impact this shot has had upon my life over the past 12 days ensures I will never come near another vax no matter what. My intuition screamed at me not to. I won't explain why I did. I feel like a complete fool. I pray I reacquire my "connection" and though over the last few days I have some reason for hope, most of the last 12 I have spent just wishing my life would end. No exaggeration. It has been that horrible.
This is a list of symptoms - I won't post my dairy which is now 12 pages long...
arm pain (for the first 4 days)
my morning meditative/contemplative routine – empty, disconnected.
not feeling myself – low level flu like symptoms –
rare or no experience of my chi – rare or no experience of the extended reality perceptions I normally can bring up – a sense my connection to my extended reality bodies has been severed or greatly choked off
junk in the lungs which became like when an illness is coming on (a cold or something similar… a virus, a flu, etc.)
coffee nervousness from just one cup
tiredness – falling asleep in my chair
very little will to exercise
the experience of pressure and/or pain related to my heart area – at a higher level than usual. Experienced at times like after I have eaten and then I do a brisk walk up the stairs.
Much greater hunger, especially late in the day.
A hard poop and then a stretch of diarrhea - almost to completely pure water for an hour or so (five, six, seven times).
The sleep – vivid dreams / waking off and on and then striving again to sleep, a few times struggling. Averaging less sleep overall than normal. This later seemed to stop.
Blurred vision when I read for any length of time. And it remains blurred even after I take a break. Only getting better after a lengthy rest from reading (both books and my PC).
Some concerns as to pressures/pains in my chest area off and on - experiences that I had not had prior to the shot
I don't know how useful it is at this time, as much of the adverse event reporting is being hidden from the public, but I would do it anyway as it could be important in the future.
You are definitely not alone in your situation.
I was following a group on Facebook called "Canadian Deaths and Adverse Reactions." It was growing by about 1000 people a day, all reporting about reactions such as yours. Some people posted videos and photos. It was really horrific to see the results of vaccine aftermath. Then, as the group inched ever closer to 100,000 members, Facebook promptly pulled it off the site. Canadians are left with virtually nowhere to turn, and many are in the adverse event demographic now. I have some personal friends and acquaintances who have conveyed everything from stroke, to blood clots, heart attack, and in the case of a 16-year-old niece of one of my healthcare professionals, a few trips to the ER for internal bleeding and neurological symptoms. A month after the shot she is still barely functional. All of this is being covered up by the media, and doctors have been threatened with a loss of their license if they dare question the official narrative or promote so-called "mis-information."
You may find some information on the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons website that will be helpful as well. They also have an article (scroll to the bottom of the home page) about the importance of reporting to VAERS:
Lastly, if you feel up to taking further action, consider contacting the legal team at America's Frontline Doctors. They are under total attack from the mainstream and labelled "right-wing misinformation" but nothing could be further from the truth. My friend is their legal manager. She hears stories similar to yours every day.
The AF Doctors know what they're talking about and they have the credentials, peer-reviewed studies, and many online short videos to back up what they are saying. They are preparing further Declarations which means they stand by their statements under oath in a court of law. There will be more lawsuits forthcoming from multiple sources. Whether they'll be successful or not given the extraordinary power of the tech/pharma/government conglomerate remains to be seen.
I wish you all the best Chester, and I hope you are able to pull through your vaccine-induced ill health with a complete restoration to your pre-vax state.
Hi Susan and thank you for this thoughtful post. I see my general practitioner tomorrow. I am afraid to take any reporting action because I prefer not to risk backlash upon any in my family )or myself). I do not trust any "government" agency or any of their representatives at all anymore. I do not have any confidence in anything that comes from the mainstream media or much of the alternative media.
I am very familiar with the America's Frontline Doctors and the GLCCC Alliance and their I-Mask+ prevention protocol and early outpatient protocol and was consistently taking the prevention protocol as well as improving my overall health (and weight/exercise, etc) and have had prefect health for two years. I feel extremely foolish I went against my intuition BUT I did so when my step-daughter (age 23) and my wife (age 55) decided to get the vax. I felt that perhaps all would be OK and that we all should be on the same page since we live in the same household.
It was just a few days after I began to learn more about the ADE risks and heart risks. Again, I feel terribly foolish. Anyways, I have some treatment recommendations provided by Dr, Fleming (Event 2021) to bring to my GP tomorrow in hopes he will prescribe some of these treatments.
Having said all the above, I will report the following. After speaking with several friends, a few suggested Liposomal Glutathione and as of last Tuesday, I have taken the max recommended daily dose. In addition, I began to do daily dry-brushing (as per instructions), then soak in a Dead Sea salt bath and then, perform a full body olive oil rub which I retain for at least 20 minutes before rinsing off.
Interestingly and as of yesterday, I have started to feel better. I am still far from back to where I was, but I have a little hope now. And understand, I have little fear of death. What I fear is leaving this world before I have plans in place (plans that are in various stages of implementation) for my wife's future as I am 8 years older, she's in better overall health and if nature takes its most likely coarse, I will pass well before her. I just want to make sure as best I can, she's set as she's an artist and I have been the household income provider, and I can't leave her without knowing she's got some security going forward.
Apologies for too much information... I guess I am just pouring out as my way of processing.
Chester, you are amazing. You are right on top of this issue and I commend you for following protocols that are restorative and natural. No apologies necessary. We're all in this together. I just hope the divisions heal along with everyone's bodies.
Chester, thank you for sharing your experience. Oh man. My heart goes out. That was a big risk for you to take, posting here, and I like to think that in so doing it is a massive step in your healing process. I will be thinking of you. Thanks for trusting us and the collective to be an active part of your process in this way. It is the way :)
Chester I sincerely hope that you recover. It’s stories like yours that truly disturb me because I don’t want this vaccine to get forced on me against my will and I don’t want to lose my spiritual center. I wonder if Psychedelics would help you at all? Maybe not though so that’s not advice. But maybe things are just eclipsed and will return like a cloudy day eventually passes. Please update on if you recover because it will provide hope for everyone.
Hi, thanks for asking. I am fortunate in that I was able to take 40 hours of hyperbaric chamber treatments which made a big difference. Having said that, my last test still had me as a recent "positive" (The IgM test) and I still have days where I only feel about 50% of my former self but most days I feel about 90% and even 100%.
It now appears I had gotten "covid" yet did not know it, then, got the first Moderna shot. The doctor told me they are seeing this more and more... that folks get covid yet have very little or no symptoms (especially folks like me who used the recommended prophylaxis routine that included Ivermectin) and then "get the shot" (like I did) and all sorts of issues seem to arise. The doctor is perturbed that "testing" is not required prior to getting the shot.
The worst part was getting the report that I now have a borderline "enlarged heart." Also, my blood pressure readings are about 20 points higher than they had been pretty consistently.
I did NOT (and have been told by my doctor not to) get "the second Moderna shot." At this point, I do not care what "they" do to me, there is no way I will ever get near one of those shots. If I had NOT gotten the shot, I would have avoided all these issues AND had natural immunity.
Thank you for the response. I am glad you are doing better and have new insights on the matter. Hope you continue to heal and if you have any new updates you wish to share at any point, I at least am interested in hearing about it. And if not then I wish you well from here on out.
I am sad to hear that coercion is one of the main reasons it seems you got vaxxed, Daniel.
Despite all of the access to information you have, it seems you were ultimately bowled over by shaming and guilt, two things I discovered were much a part of life living in NYC, where hypocrisy runs wild and if you resist the status quo, you're out.
Hope you make it back to Mexico. I just left NYC (not bc of mandates, but it was fortuitous timing). I am running a Temple in Colima for our community to restore and integrate our collective well being, well outside the narrative of c19. TempleColima.com
Very interesting article. Thanks. A testament to self-examination in the face of inner struggle (or even because of it).
For me it came down to a simple observation: The people around me who were humble, kind, intelligent, well-educated, reasonable, and thoughtful GOT vaccinated. And all the people who DIDN'T were various degrees of egocentric, "don't tell me what to do", bully types, paranoid, righteous, stingy, faith-based and extremist (or as you say "stingy, stodgy, and narcissistic.")
And then I noticed that those same anti-vaxxers also tended to be the anti-mask crowd and I knew it was nothing but anti-social, narcissistic flailing. I felt that anyone who chose to believe that mask wearing was totalitarian control rather than reasonable courtesy toward our fellow Earthlings in times of uncertainty...is just crazy.
I decided I would rather DIE or BE CONTROLLED along with the first group, rather than survive with the second.
“I decided I would rather DIE or BE CONTROLLED along with the first group, rather than survive with the second.” Yes because the unscrupulous people promulgating all the chaos and profiting off it are definitely such fun to be around — way more noble and kind than skeptics of draconian public health measures. I like a good billionaire sociopath in my social circle. 😎
“And then I noticed that those same anti-vaxxers also tended to be the anti-mask crowd and I knew it was nothing but anti-social, narcissistic flailing.“
Or maybe it was obvious that the mask virtue signaling was a dry run for the vax virtue signaling around the corner. Was pretty obvious to me anyway. And to be fair, I simply have avoided society all this time because I was against the mask but also didn’t arrogantly walk around without one on either. I simply became a Hermit. I felt that if the virus is really that dangerous, then a cloth mask isn’t going to help much, which proved to have evidence of truth after Fauci’s emails were leaked.
“I decided I would rather DIE or BE CONTROLLED along with the first group, rather than survive with the second.”
Well, that just speaks for itself. At least you’re honest..
That someone would knowingly entrust themselves to unscrupulous, greedy, corrupted global power vectors rather rather than advocate for human rights & seek for viable public & interpersonal health alternatives doesn’t bode well for the future of democracy at all. Acquiescence on the part of duped and dulled progressives has been one of the saddest things about the last year and a half.
I have felt that struggle too. Thank you for the resourcing to further explore the depth & variety of worldviews of the multi-layers presented. I am very grateful that you are here sharing as you do Daniel.
I'm choosing not to get the vax - I have an autoimmune condition that I don't want to get re-activated or aggravated - but I respect your decision, Daniel. Almost all of my friends have chosen not to get it: It's the hill we're going to die on. I did have one friend get it, and she got the J&J as you did. I must say, this part of your article really resonates with me: " I can’t help but sympathize with the conspiratorial view. It does seem that our society is in the process of reorganizing around the unprecedented surveillance power of the tech companies, meshed with the government and the financial elite, and lastly, the encroaching field of bio-informatics as a means of overarching tracking and control." I follow numerous sources that you listed, and adding in Naomi Klein's excellent Screen New Deal, which shows how the co-opted Democratic party is the medium through which this technocratic dystopia is going to be unleashed, it's hard for me not to come to the conclusion that this was no "lab accident" but rather a very sophisticated operation of "problem, reaction, solution," using a never-ending invisible abstraction like "COVID" as a catalyst to usher in a global technocratic dystopia. For that reason alone, I'm simply not going to do it regardless of the costs. That, and I now see that it's going to be a never-ending stream of boosters and new vaccines for new variants and viruses. Even if I get lucky with the J&J, there's no guarantee that I will get lucky next time. SO, what to do? It seems as if I am going to move out of California and probably end up in Montana. It's not ideal, but I refuse to live under the growing medical apartheid.
Post script- I am not anti-vax. However, unlike most people, I had a bad reaction to the Moderna vaccine. There are others who've reported a bad reaction. I'm reminded of the deluge of Pharmaceutical commercials which end with a litany of possible side effects among a small population. Shouldn't the same be expected of experimental vaccines? We chose the lesser of two evils. I chose the vaccine to insure against infecting others. With the new variant, it's not so simple. F.L.
Hi Daniel, I really enjoyed reading your latest article "From Vacillation to Vaccination"; it brought to my imagination your being a character in a Twilight Zone episode, in which at any moment the next shoe is about to drop. I empathize with every word you've written here. So, for your perusal, I'll briefly share what happened to me, because it isn't insignificant.
I was NOT eager to get vaccinated. I tend to see reality through a mythological lens, and the Air borne pathogen emerging as the World entered the Kingdom of Air, a 200 year cycle closely associated to the Great Conjunction Cycle of Jupiter and Saturn; this is on the cusp of the Age of Aquarius, another AIR Sign, of 2,160 years in duration. But enough astrology, it's fascinating, an archetypal lens, and comprehensive in its own way, but over most people's heads, and for good reason, I suppose, for modernity is fully caught in a veneer of rational materialism.
So, I got vaccinated for the reasons you mention, going along so I didn't inadvertently spread the virus to my family, friends, or anyone, and to avoid dying a terrible death, myself. Although I wanted to get the J&J Vaccine, the week I made inquiries was the week J&J was in the News with some concerns about its safety (I forget the exact details). So, I went and got the Moderna Vaccine, despite my intuition telling me the manipulation of RNA seems ill-advised. But I didn't anticipate any major crisis in my own health; I was optimistic. I got the first shot of Moderna, on April 21, 2021. There was no side-effects other than tenderness to my arm the next day. I got the 2nd Moderna shot on May 19th, at 8am. Around 9pm I started feeling a little nauseous, I went to bed early. Around 2AM I awoke with a crazy and terrifying headache, I guess it was a "cluster headache"; I'd never had one before. It was like 5 or 6 throbbing red-hot marbles in my brain. I was pretty upset, as you can imagine. But, I wrote it off as the vaccine taking effect. I stayed in bed all the following day. By 7PM I was feeling a bit better. I was back in bad by 11PM. I awoke around 2AM with another headache. This one was different. It felt like a heavy iron rod from the base of my skull to the front of my forehead, slightly to one side. I spent hours trying to find a position for my head that would relieve the pain. I was up the next day, and felt crappy as I went about my business. The 3rd night I slept through without incident. On the fourth day I went about my business. However, the 4th night, I awoke about 2AM with a feeling of a heavy stone on my chest. I thought I might be having early symptoms of a heart attack. My voice in my head was repeating the phrase: "Something is swollen to the point of bursting", the same thought repeating in my mind. Now, I probably should have called an Emergency Room, but I didn't; I lay there wondering WTF was happening to me now? The next morning I read a brief article in the NEWS, about the Moderna Vaccine causing a few adolescent boy's hearts to swell. I sensed immediately that's what happened to me, on the previous night. For the next two weeks I had symptoms of congestive heart failure. I was weak, exhausted, and uncharacteristically lethargic, I had difficulty climbing stairs, or anything requiring brut strength. After two weeks of this labored state, I sank into a dark depression, worse than anything I've experienced in over 40 years. My life felt overwhelming and without purpose. I was kept up at night with regret, shame, agonizing over my past. Any armor on my soul had been sloughed off, I felt completely exposed and vulnerable, like a molted crab. It was torturous. For 80 days my chest felt like a kettle of anguish. I managed to continue painting, and doing my simple routines, but the feeling of regret was unrelenting. I finally went to the hospital (after 6 weeks) and they did an EKG and said everything was fine; the dr wrote me a prescription to see a therapist, I started this last week Meah. The awful feelings have begun to fade this week. But, if they start pushing booster shots for everyone, I will not be on board; I'll tell them about the terrible reaction I had. I couldn't take anymore. I deeply regret getting the Moderna Vaccine. I suspect it seriously screwed me up somehow, I feel weaker in spirit. I can only hope I will finally recover, and this will be, completely, a thing of the past.
Regarding your upcoming Series on Death and the Afterlife, my article you included in "Exploring the Edge Realms of Consciousness", entitled: "Journey Through A Cosmic Portal", was the first of three visions in Tulum. I had two more visions in Tulum, in 2005. These visions pertain to an archetypal paradigm, a mythological perspective, related to the afterlife. Visions like these help us to imagine the non-temporal realm, what's happening concurrently but mostly unconsciously alongside the inexorable march of time, here in the collective material realm. Visions are like dreams , I would categorize them as "real" figments of the soul. Like certain dreams, certain visions are relevant to a wider audience; some may bare relevant images that are nutritious for the whole world.
Franklin, please see the reply I posted on Chester's story. You may also benefit from some of the information. Your writing is so vivid...I can almost feel your pain, and can certainly sense the exhaustion and shock at the symptoms you were experiencing. There are many people who are going through the same thing right now, without a lot of support from either medical professionals nor family and friends who believe the vax advertising campaigns. I hope you are able to restore your health. It is as though we have gone through the wrong portal into a dimension of darkness and despair. We need to collectively find the doorway to the light and benevolent side of new technology that is for the genuine good of humanity.
Thank you Susan for your concern and goodwill. I am not anti-vaccine. But, I believe different people will have different reactions. If anything irks me, it's the presumption that it's perfectly safe for everyone, that seems counter-intuitive to me. I did not expect to have a bad reaction, yet, I did. It's conceivable that there were pre-existing conditions, in me, which the vaccine triggered, or by sheer coincidence went haywire at the time I got the vaccine. The over-arching, and mythological lens that informs my worldview, has to do with astrology and alchemy (ancient psychology.) The Age of Pisces is in rabid decline, a crisis of immense concern. The Age of Aquarius is in ascendancy, but it's like a mycelium spore, tiny projects here, there, and everywhere struggling to secure a spot in which to grow and spread its influence for the general good. As of last Winter solstice the world entered the "Kingdom of Air". That's a 200 year period in which the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn will occur in the AIR signs. Every 20 years Jupiter and Saturn appear to meet in the sky. Their conjunction marks a generation. AIR is about Knowledge, information, thought. AIR, also, has something in common with imagination. It seems significant that the world entered the Kingdom of AIR with the proliferation of "smart phones" and other technologies sharing information at volumes and rates as never before. More significantly, that "Truth" and "Fake News" became a major issue threatening the stability and fabric of modern civilization. In the Tarot, AIR is the suit of Swords. We can imagine the Sword of Discernment cutting away the false, the delusional, and the inflationary which are the dangers inherent to the imagination. It's what gives imagination a bad rap. Discernment is the antidote which restores imagination to its proper position as the faculty of the divine human imagination. This is why meditation, and schooling in Wisdom Traditions is highly recommended. Wisdom is said to be the intersection of Logos (Science-temporal, physical, logical) and Mythos (Timeless archetypal heartmind.) A metaphor for the current situation is moving into the Eye of the Storm and mirroring that position (it's calm in the Eye) until the storm subsides. Apocalypse has a lot to do with the tension of opposites. Learn to hold concepts, opinions, beliefs lightly, and let's not mistake the appearance of things for the ultimate reality. :)
Hey Franklin... I'm on the same page with you as to the vaccine and its variable response in individuals. The problem has been with informed consent. The advertising campaigns and editorials that were used to promote the vaccine as "safe" conveniently left out invaluable information that would have helped a lot of people make better decisions, or at least respond in kind to those "gut feelings" that it may not be right for your own body.
It appears my comments may have been the catalyst for the further insights you have provided in regard to your background, and I'm grateful for the depth of information you've shared. I am fascinated by astrology and alchemy. I have a dear friend who has a Ph.D in psychology from Berkeley. She is a fabulous astrologer and psychic. She has done several readings on my personal chart. We used to get together often when we lived closer together and play what we called "spin the planet." As I am a contactee and often have precognitive dreams or telepathically transmitted information on global situations, we would compare notes and attempt to unravel complex circumstances with no outside influences other than our combined knowledge and skill sets.
Your last sentence reminds me of another friend, my ex-boyfriend (a.k.a. the UFO Lawyer) who was famous for suing the U.S. government through Citizens Against UFO Secrecy to have them release their classified files on the UFO/UAP subject. But as he began to pull back from the spotlight, he/we moved to Sedona, Arizona, where he eventually became obsessed with a "leap of faith" from the top of Bell Rock, that he was going to execute on Dec. 12, 2012, in order to "reset the program and save humanity from a pending memetic virus." As crazy as it sounded, he had a solid argument for it (he was an outstanding lawyer by all accounts) but the key point was that his delusions may have in fact been closer to reality than they appeared to be at the time.
I find solace in Agni Yoga and am on my 10th or 15th (I've lost track) reading of The Leaves of Morya's Garden, Book I (1924) and Book II (1925), by Helena Roerich. Reading your words is yet another reminder to try to get to at least a page or two each day and dial down my desire to scan news sites from all over the world looking for the tipping point that would signal some restoration of balance and dignity to the people of this planet.
Early in 1989 when my contact experiences first began, "they" repeated the words, "learn to discern." So, my mantra for today is to practice with the Sword of Discernment, as today is a tipping point in the wrong direction for the Province of British Columbia. Many of us feel sick. We are in shock. Yesterday, local health authorities announced vaccine passports for B.C. beginning September 13th, with full implementation by mid-October. I can only see this descending into chaos...the other side of the eye of the storm.
What a fascinating thread. What became of the UFO Lawyer? and did he survive 12-21-2012? The incident brought up a personal memory. I suffered a similar spiritual crisis, in October 1977. I believed I had to sacrifice myself and leap from a 400 foot precipice, in the Valentine Flats, in Zoar Valley, in WNY, to save the world from a total catastrophe. At the last moment, an invisible force prevented this sacrifice. I was suffering the Christ, an archetypal dilemma, not uncommon for an inflated youth; during a long tumultuous initiation crisis. I'd been reading Carlos Castaneda, and taking his lessons too literally and personally. My wise elders were deceased authors. over the course of many years I lived in an epic initiation story.
Helena Roerich, the wife of Nicolas Roerich, what a great citation! He's one of my favorite artists. Some of my paintings are an homage to his work. I've had the pleasure of visiting his museum, 30 years ago, in the Upper Westside of Manhattan. It's delightful to see Helena's work being invoked. although I'm not familiar with Helena's work.
I hope you find courage, and you feel grounded, when facing the up-coming challenges brought on by the virus. The majority of people seem to be fine with the vaccines. My experience is the exception, not the rule. I wouldn't recommend the Moderna vaccine, that's for certain. Roerich is the great Agni Yoga mystic. Tolkien writes of the "Secret Fire of Iluvatar" in The Silmariliion. Same period, similar imagery. Intuition is closest to the Divine.
Fascinating, indeed! Rather than write Peter's entire story, here's a link from 2016 that brings you up to that year. As of 2021, he is still taking people to the top of Bell Rock, now numbering over 4000. Quite a feat for someone his age, as it is not an easy hike. He is quite a character.
I read most of the Carlos Castaneda books while living in Phoenix. I was fully engaged with another ufologist and we had a band called UFAUX. I played drums. It was wildly psychedelic, instrumental, space-rock, often compared to the likes of King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Pink Floyd. That is another story unto itself. The three of us played concerts and lectured at UFO Conferences around the Southwest.
I would have loved to have seen Roerich's paintings in person! All my trips into NYC have been quick in and outs...never enough time for everything. You paint as well? I do too. Mainly dog portraits these days, but my real work is in the visionary genre.
Thank you for the kind words and sensible dialogue regarding the vaccine. Most people aren't in my position of having an autoimmune condition with extreme sensitivities to allopathic medicine, so I am only hoping to receive some sense of empathy and compassion in return for non-judgement on my part. I am very saddened at the response of close friends who have taken the more bullying, hard-line stance toward those who do not want the injection. We were initially told, "we just need two weeks to flatten the curve." Sigh.
I have been buoyed by our exchange though, and I thank you for that. We'll come out the other side of this one way or the other. Hopefully stronger and healthier than ever.
Wow. Quite a story. Thanks for the background perspective. One thing I haven't heard yet is: "Mother Nature is sick and tired of our invasive species." Somewhere that should enter the conversation.
Excellent introspective analysis. We know that pandemics happen without intentional meddling by bioweapon researchers, and that they are very likely to appear with increasing frequency as the climate changes. If we're lucky, the melting permafrost won't release something novel from 100 million years ago that's extremely lethal. Fortunately, we have many tools today to counter public health emergencies, and like any medical treatment they all carry some risk. When considering the risk/benefit ratio, I think all of the vaccines, including mRNAs, are acceptable. Boosters are also reasonable. We already have flu and other boosters every year. Does this mean the whole thing is a nefarious plan by big pharma because those in control are rapaciously greedy? I doubt it. I think it is far more likely that when it comes to new challenges most of the time we're running blind, and when you do that occasionally you run into walls or over cliffs.
Well written and extensively researched. Much has been covered but not everything. It's of course unrealistic and impossible to expect someone to know everything, but as Yuval Noah Harari points out in the first page of his book 21 lessons for the 21st century:
In a world deluged by irrelevant information, clarity is power.
In theory, anybody can join the debate about the future of
humanity, but it is so hard to maintain a clear vision. Frequently, we don’t even notice that a debate is going on, or what
the key questions are. Billions of us can hardly afford the luxury
of investigating, because we have more pressing things to do:
we have to go to work, take care of the kids, or look after elderly
parents. Unfortunately, history gives no discounts. If the future
of humanity is decided in your absence, because you are too
busy feeding and clothing your kids – you and they will not
be exempt from the consequences. This is very unfair; but who
said history was fair?
Unlike you, sadly, many people do not take the time to investigate or do any kind of research. They delegate that responsibility to authority, thus giving up their power in the process.
Daniel, have you researched the Schumann resonance and its impact on the neurology of our electromagnetic system? The way electromagnetic energy can affect systems such as the respiratory, cardiac and immune systems. There have been many fluctuations in the Schumann resonance since the winter of 2020. ELFs often cause flu like symptoms but no media outlet talks about this. This leads me to believe a mask and an experimental injection will not be the key to our health.
Also, have you researched the psychology of groupthink, belief systems and cognitive dissonance? And how about collective consciousness or the unified field theory where not only individual placebo and nocebo effects can have an effect on our biology, but collective placebos and nocebos can also creep in and start infecting communities and societies. We are all connected.
What about subliminal or subconscious predictive programming to make people accept change more easily, and to accept lies more easily.
Other topics such as the cyclicality of our physical nature should also be taken into consideration as part of quantum physics theory, microcosm and macrocosm (which is found in the science of astrology as well). We live cycles or frequencies, not only in terms of sunrises and sunsets, our circadian rhythms, equinoxes and solstices, but also social ones, such as world cups, olympics, economic crashes, wars and genocides. We are in the middle of a genocide, just as you wrote about jews being ostracized from society due to powerful propaganda telling society that they spread diseases and needed to be isolated and discriminated. This was done, not abruptly, but slowly and systematically, with manufactured consent.
The parallels are oh-so-common:
-Newspaper outlets and political speeches took care of the propaganda. Now that is MSM.
-The gestapo burned books to control information just as social media is censuring an insane amount information i.e. testimonies of reactions (such as accounts reported on this very thread) and alternative positions or science.
-Segregation is occurring at a fast pace by having to show papers (now in digital form) to authorities. We see this in NYC, France and Italy, coming to a city near you.
-Gates, as you write, is the psychopath control hungry tyrant, just as Hitler was.
-The entire process had a very famous medical authority in Dr Mengele (Dr Fauci's character also fits in well).
-The jewish getthos where jews had to isolate were our homes in 2020.
-Lastly, the injection is the gas chamber. It's already happening as many have not only had reactions from the injection but many have also died. If you search hard enough, you can find that info that is being hidden from us.
Most comply blindly to authority as a result of neurological and subconscious associations of the way we view our parents as children: our first source of authority. We associate this with compassion, care and love. Later, the view on authority transfers to school as children and government as adults. Many people are unable to dissociate subconsciously the connection they have with authority and compassion, care and love. This is why most people believe the government is there to help and care for them. Governments have been responsible for over 300M deaths of THEIR OWN people in the last century. He who does not understand the past, is bound to recreate the future.
Tyranny is accepted because people want to do good, from their belief systems, but sometimes, when the heard is wrong, acquiescing and obedient, it can lead to catastrophic events: people blindly complying to authority. Hitler never killed 6M jews. Order followers did.
Good luck to all. Resistance is key in times of deceit.
I strongly recommend anyone thinking of getting injected with an experimental substance to go on the uncensored video platform bitchute.com and type in "vaccine reactions" to view what is actually happening. This perspective is never shown on mainstream media, and even worse, censured by social media giants.
Lastly, a good read would be Edward Bernays' book Propaganda. It talks about the secret government hiring mind control specialists to generate thought control of society, and it ain't in the favour of the people that's for sure!
Thanks for this thoughtful piece. I sympathize with your difficultly navigating this decision. I came to the same choice back in May when I got the Pfizer shots. After studying the known info on possible risks from the vaccines (eg, ADE), I weighed these against possible risks from severe or long term Covid. I also took into account the social pros of vaccination as I foresee the mandates and regimented boosters being a requirement to participate in society.
Martenson and several of the other sources you named have been vital info for me throughout the pandemic, though I’m unable to come to any clear conclusion or synthesis about anything. My suspicion is, as with most everything else surrounding Covid, we will never know for certain the clear data on whether these vaccines are safe and effective over the long term. The trials were all unblinded early to allow participants access to the authorized vaccines, which irreparably compromised the RCTs. This was loudly decried as a threat to the science by many in the virology community and within the FDA, but the pharma companies did it anyway. Now we won’t have solid follow-up research for long term safety/efficacy to compare to against control groups. And with boosters on the way and liable to be widely distributed, the real world data will be a complete mess as people pile on new vaccines in short timespans. My sense is it will be impossible to parse the potential side effects of one vaccine product from another — or from prior Covid infection, as many vaccinated are also getting breakthroughs. I also read a med journal article suggesting that the way the Covid vaccine rollout has gone down may have set a precedent permanently scrapping the gold standard of multi year RCTs for vax development. Arguments will be made for fast tracking trials, issuing EUAs and breaking blinds early in the interest of public health, providing us much more limited data and amounting to a radical shift in the scientific standards. “Trust the science” will be more about an act of faith in the institutions than a position rooted in solid data and fastidious research.
That was an awful lot of excruciating perseverating only to come to an unsupported conclusion that is obviously based on fear and social convenience. It is common knowledge at this point that your vaccination offers no protection to your mom or anyone else, so that makes this the longest most tortuous bit of virtue signaling I've ever encountered. Another one bites the dust. Goodbye, Daniel Pinchbeck.
That is not exactly the case. The evidence from the mainstream sources is that the vaccinations provide protection from severe illness for at least 6 - 8 months. If you have a less intense viral load and are asymptomatic, you will be significantly less likely to pass Covid onto others.
Belonging is a powerful need... a great incentive to comply & obey. instilling fear into people that they will do harm to their loved ones is a long-standing method of torture & coercion... it’s worked very well for all authoritarian regimes.
What I don’t understand is why Daniel — if he was taking Ivermectin prophylactically— felt that wasn’t sufficient to protect others from him possibly transmitting c19 to an elder...? If this was really the principle reason to get a shot. What diminished his confidence in his relative own protection & immunity from covid to the degree that he’d take one of the vaccines known now to be least effective against c19 & variants.
Uttar Pradesh has been promoted as an area that has had 'outstanding' success with ivermectin. Stats supporting their claims which posit low death rates against other areas where ivermectin was not used have underpinned many of their claims of success. The article below seems fairly objective as it does not mention vaccines, therapies, ivermectin, just how skewed the statistics have been coming out of that region.
A bit on Ivermectin— The American Journal of Therapeutics, Meta-Analysis PDF file:
“Meta-analysis of 15 (study) trials found that Ivermectin reduced risk of death compared with no Ivermectin (average risk ratio 0.38, 95% confidence)."
“Findings indicate with moderate certainty that Ivermectin treatment in COVID-19 provides a significant survival benefit.” “Overall, the evidence suggests that early use of Ivermectin may reduce morbidity and mortality from COVID-19.”
[Findings ignored by U.S. FDA, failure to issue EUA for Ivermectin in Covid-19 treatment.]
“World Health Organization (WHO) document on Ivermectin …found that adverse events with Ivermectin were primarily minor and transient. ...Ivermectin is NOT a new and experimental drug with an unknown safety profile. Ivermectin is a WHO listed “Essential Medicine”.
“At least 5 other (study) reviews of Ivermectin use for COVID-19 have been published, including one co-authored with Nobel Laureate Professor Satoshi Omura, discoverer of Ivermectin…”
There are at least 75 peer-reviewed studies over 30 years on the safety and efficacy profile of this drug, whereas we have only a span of months of data on current vaxxes on market.
Of note: "In Canada, similarly, a provincial review of all available studies found no basis for recommending ivermectin outside of a clinical trial. They specifically note the “critically low quality” of Dr. Tess Lawrie’s meta-analysis."
I watched Lawrie being interviewed and unfortunately cannot remember by who. When asked critical questions about ivermectin, (answers she should have at her fingertips and questions that were not particularly hardball,) her response was, "It works" That was it. "It works." That's not a particularly rigorous response and falls short of any scientific argument I am familiar with.
Having a scientific background I know how to read research reports, so I did my homework and decided I would not take an mRNA vaccine, partly because of the way it was described as working and partly because it was a relatively new technology. Instead, I took the Johnson & Johnson "one and done" vaccination and one booster, which used a more mature technology and which (early on) showed essentially 100% prevention of hospitalization and death, which I thought more important than the "prevention of infection" statistic. And I'm glad I did. I'm in my 70s, I've never worn a mask (when not forced to) since, haven't avoided crowds or any company, never had another booster, never bothered taking a covid test, and if I ever contracted covid (I've no idea if I did) the symptoms were negligible.
Daniel, these Covid shots do not even claim to prevent infection or transmission, only to reduce symptoms. You wrote “I also desired to participate in society and do my little part.” What part? You are not protecting anybody by taking a shot.
I’d advise taking several natural antidotes to the spike protein and to graphene oxide as soon as possible. These include dandelion root tincture, vitamin C, D3 and zinc, NAC, pine needle tea/oil, quercetin.
I have listened to Yeadon but also paid attention to the establishment scientists. It seems vaccines are protecting people from severe illness. Yes not perfect. Everything is ambiguous right now. People have to make their own discernment. As for now, living in a dense city like NYC, i feel I made the right personal choice.
Thanks for responding. Of course it is your choice to allow this product into your body. Some facts cry out though, for example: Good information about prevention, early treatment, and effective late treatment is being suppressed in the mainstream, which is herding all toward this genetic treatment. Deaths occurring less than 14 days after the 2nd injection (thousands of deaths) are being tallied and reported as deaths among the "unvaccinated."
I feel compelled to point out some of the glaring misinformation around ADE that Pinchbeck is peddling with this journalistically disastrous blog post.
A few points...
1 -”I worry we are starting to see signs that ADE is a real problem."
I worry that much of what follows this statement suggests Pinchbeck is not in a position to be able to make a statement like that!
2 - The video Pinchbeck linked to in which he states that Bill Gates says “we won’t know their side effects or health consequences for up to two years,“ was posted by a Twitter user named Truth_Matters with 1,500 followers, whose entire account is dedicated to anti-vaccine propaganda, and the video is heavily edited. This is the source that Pinchbeck, a professional writer, chose to cite...
In terms of Pinchbeck’s representing of Gates’ words, he has misrepresented them. The actual quote is, “If you want to wait and see if a side effect shows up two years later, that takes two years.”
Pinchbeck, on the other hand, writes that Gates said that "we won’t know their side effects or health consequences for up to two years.
The difference is subtle, but critical.
The *actual* quote *could* be potentially concerning, sure. However. The video Pinchbeck uses as a citation is edited such that we do not get the sentence before it, after it, or even the question that yielded that response.
We don’t know - unless we go and find the original interview, which I assume Pinchbeck did not do, because he would have likely linked to it instead of this random Twitter person - what specific idea Gates was addressing or even what point he was making. Was Gates making some larger point about safety? We'd have to do actual research to find out, we'd have to be interested in the truth, not just forwarding our own opionions. Pinchbeck is clearly not interested in this!
That Pinchbeck is using a heavily edited video from an explicitly biased source is...not reassuring. Particularly for a professional writer! But hey, journalistic integrity thankfully does not apply to substack.
(For what it’s worth, as far as I am aware, there has never been a long-term side effect from a vaccine that showed up more than two months after the vaccine was administered. Multi-year side effects are, historically, not a thing. Did Gates make a larger point about vaccine safety in that interview? From that video, no one, certainly not Pinchbeck, would know!)
3 - Pinchbeck is, hopefully not intentionally, misrepresenting the Frontiers paper on ADE. (Though you'd be forgiven for thinking, based on the citation of the video above, that he is at least being incredibly lazy, if not malicious.)
Here is the quote from the journal article that Pinchbeck compiled -
“Development of vaccines to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and other coronavirus has been difficult to create due to vaccine induced enhanced disease responses in animal models… Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) may be involved in the clinical observation of increased severity of symptoms associated with early high levels of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in patients… Given past data on multiple SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV vaccine efforts have failed due to ADE in animal models, it is reasonable to hypothesize a similar ADE risk for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and vaccines. ADE risks may be associated with antibody level (which can wane over time after vaccination) and also if the antibodies are derived from prior exposures to other coronaviruses.”
While this block could be gone through piece-by-piece, the punch line is that the journal article presents accurate information about past research on coronavirus vaccines and then offers various speculations and cautions on future research. It’s a whole bunch of “may's” and “it is reasonable to hypothesize’s."
While Pinchbeck more or less accurately summarizes the previous research presented by the article, **he completely fails to offer any acknowledgment that scientists are aware of these risks and have taken them into account in developing the current vaccines.** This is a huge, consequential thing to step over!! Rather, he just moves on to the next point. You would think, from this blog post, that Pinchbeck discovered ADE and is now warning the world for the first time.
If not for the fact that he is publishing on a personal blog, this omission would be journalistic malpractice. I think this counts as pretty much straight-up fear-mongering.
(If you’re interested, the interaction of pre-existing concern about ADE and the development of the current vaccines are discussed in decent summary here - https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2021/02/12/antibody-dependent-enhancement-and-the-coronavirus-vaccines. And I am sure there are other, much more detailed references out there. Don't look for them in this article though, because, again, Pinchbeck is clearly not out for anything that doesn't confirm his own biases.)
4 - Pinchbeck is, also hopefully not intentionally (though at this point I am pretty skeptical!), misrepresenting the quote from the Times.
Pinchbeck writes:
"But most concerning is the following, surprising quote:
'The vaccine is still believed to help prevent severe illness in those who do become infected, though some Israeli data suggests the possibility of an increased risk of severe disease among those who received early vaccinations.'
If this turns out to be the case, it corresponds with the ADE model seen in earlier animal studies."
That quote should not be surprising to anyone who has been following the news!!!!!
It was always predicted (as it is with many vaccines, though on different timelines), that effectiveness would wane over time and booster shots would be needed. In the context of the article, that is *exactly* what this quote is saying - it is comparing the severity of disease based on **when the person was vaccinated, not on whether or not they were vaccinated.**
That is to say, the article is not saying, “some Israeli data suggests the possibility of an increased risk of severe disease among those who received early vaccination **compared to those who did not receive any vaccine**.” If that were the message, it would suggest that ADE might be an issue. However, the context of the article makes clear that that is **not** the message.
The vaccine's effects, as predicted, wear off over time. This is explicitly what this article is saying. It does not correspond with the model of ADE seen in animal studies! At all. Period. Again, Pinchbeck is writing this as though he is onto a scoop that no one else - certainly no virologists - have thought of.
I want to spend a moment on the perniciousness of this particular quote - “if this turns out to be the case, it corresponds with the ADE model seen in earlier animal studies."
It is pernicious because the first half is correct (there is an increased risk of severe disease among those who received early vaccinations), while the second half is not (it does not correspond with the ADE model seen in earlier animal studies.)
That is some rhetorical sleight-of-hand based on an out-of-context and incorrectly-read quotation. It's clever and it's easy to miss. But do not be fooled.
This all would be frustrating written by anyone, but Pinchbeck is a "professional writer" who should know better. I can only imagine how upset he would be if someone completely and intentionally misrepresented and decontextualized **his** words. It's a shame he is so willing to do it to others when it serves his own ends, whatever they are. (In this case, it seems those ends are justifying his own decision-making, which is apparently more important than giving people accurate information. What a writer!)
Good thing Pinchbeck has Substack, where he can say anything he wants regardless of accuracy or integrity. Enjoy, everyone!
Hi Mike, Thanks for these thoughts and correctives. As I am sure you know, there are many virologists and scientists in the field who are also concerned about ADE as a future consequence of the vaccines. These include Geert Van Der Bosche, Mike Yeadon, Peter McCullough, and Luc Montanier who won a Nobel Prize for his work on HIV. So I am certainly not pretending this is my "scoop" or original idea. Having gotten vaccinated myself, I certainly hope it isn't the case. It seems clear that nobody really knows what is happening right now. There is a lot of concern about increasing rates of hospitalization of vaccinated people in Israel, for example. Nowhere in my piece, did I claim this was an authoritative treatise on the topic. I was exploring my own thought process about it, which included many different kinds of citations. Also I still think my sentence you parse - "it corresponds with" - makes sense. I am not saying it is caused by ADE - the jury on that is still out, but I think the concern is reasonable. Anyway thanks for caring and reading closely, and it is true I do hate to be misrepresented etc. I am happy I got the shot, all things considered, although I am also worried about what we still may discover about it.
Daniel, you have covered everything, and I mean "everything" that is relevant to the conversation about COVID and the vaccines.
I have never felt so blessed in my life as to my location and health situation as I do now. My home, and that of my boyfriend, is in a rainforest on a small island in the Pacific Northwest of Canada. The two of us are 61 and 68, and extremely fit with a clean diet and supplementation for optimal health. The lockdowns barely had any effect on our lifestyle.
Our population of 10,000 permanent residents had one of the lowest case counts of the virus anywhere on the planet. Our health authorities' orders have been respectfully followed by the bulk of inhabitants (including myself), and in typical Canadian fashion, up until recently, everyone generally remained kind and calm.
Early in the pandemic, several circumstances formed my personal opinion, and as such, I remain among the unvaccinated, although I say that with much trepidation given the current global disdain and outright assault on those in this category.
I have a rare, genetic auto-immune condition. I can live with it, but I am at risk for every side-effect listed on a pharmaceutical product's monograph. I chose many years ago to fine-tune my immune system with natural medicine, with great success. I have not had a cold or flu for many years. I use a protocol to fight off the sore throats and other symptoms that arise when something is trying to take hold, and have been able to stop infections in their tracks.
When the first, as-yet-unnamed cases began to emerge in Wuhan, we were already dealing with a number of sick people of all ages on the island. Being a small community, colds and seasonal flu tends to spread through the schools, coffee shops, pool, and other places that almost everyone passes through at one point or another. My boyfriend was sicker than he'd ever been in late December of 2019. He coughed for weeks, among other symptoms. I had to work harder than usual to fight off whatever it was that was trying to make me ill as well. As the months went by and more was known about the novel virus, SarsCoV2, some of the local doctors became suspicious that it had caused widespread infections among islanders before it was fully identified in early 2020. I found out that a family had been in Wuhan over Christmas of 2019. They had kids with them that went back into local schools after the holiday. No proof of course, but they may have been "ground zero" for the start of what we now know as COVID here. So many people had it that we may have incurred "herd immunity" naturally quite a while ago.
Given my history with "conspiracy theories" (many of which have proven to be true) and the possibility of personality quirks that you have eloquently described that may be particular to the SPD, I decided to start a deeper dive on information that might be related to much of the bigger global picture as it developed over the months. Incidentally, as an aside, I formulated a theory several decades ago about the biochemical processes of telepathic transmission. I delivered lectures to audiences that included scientists and medical professionals, and was always amazed at the numbers who concurred that there is "something" to the idea that entity attachment is a real possibility. I believe Steiner had outstanding insights into the subject as well.
I recalled a paper in my files that seemed worth a revisit. It is titled "MJ-12: The Technocratic Thread" by Paul Collins & Phillip D. Collins, 2006. I think it is still available on the conspiracyarchive.com website. In it, they note that "Oxford Professor Carroll Quigley also wrote about a dictatorship of 'experts,' suggesting that a cognitive elite 'will replace the democratic voter in control of the political system" (Quigley 866). They relate the changeover of society from democratic to Technocratic with a viable argument based on the alleged MJ-12 documents, which they claim dignify the concept of a Technocracy as specified by a shadowy group of policy professionals established by a secret executive order of President Truman on September 24, 1947.
I knew a long time ago that we would never go back to the old normal. I have sadly watched as friends and family succumb to mainstream media's controlled fear-mongering and expensive advertising campaigns created by the drug companies.
I almost believed them too. I was ready to get the Johnson and Johnson shot, but it was quickly pulled from Canada due to the adverse effects. I have searched deeply for information that might affect my personal health condition with the mRNA shots, and it has not been easy. All the CDC has is that "we don't have the data yet." Now that the current trajectory is indicating further issues with the variants (I think Geert Vandebossche was right) it is indeed proving to be an epic clusterfuck.
Those among my circle of friends and family who are vaxxed have been behaving strangely. I see them curling up and aging faster. Maybe they don't want to admit they are having difficulties. They are quickly pointing the finger at the unvaxxed, parroting media dialogues. I am almost embarrassed to try to explain my situation, so I avoid the conversation at all costs. Many here are unvaxxed, and we speak softly among ourselves. We are artists, musicians, authors, yoga teachers, and kind, loving people who are horrified at the separation and divisiveness being created.
I've noticed that all the G7 countries are reading from the same script. I've made a hobby of scanning news sites from all over the world recently. Israel, Gibraltar, Switzerland, France, the U.K. It is fascinating to see the differences in reporting on the same subject...COVID. I don't want to spend this much time on it, but I am feeling backed into a corner and defensive. I try to keep the peace, and I work hard at diplomacy.
I found out last week that an old friend and former riding student from Arizona is the legal manager for America's Frontline Doctors. A brief chat with her made me happy, and hopeful that if nothing else, a sensible balance of dialogue will soon begin to take place on this cliffhanger of a story affecting all of humanity.
I wish everyone well. May good health prevail. If there is anything evil and nefarious behind this pandemic, I wish for it to be sent back to wherever it came from, never to return to this planet again. I hope we can be blessed with regenerative, restorative, and non-invasive medicine in the future.
There are better products in the pipeline that I hope will be approved soon, and both developed in Canada.

How beautifully you’ve expressed your stance. Amen to your ending wish/prayer.Thank you !! Blessings
Thank you! I am making an effort to see our future. If "thoughts are like arrows" as some spiritual teachings suggest, we can use specific techniques to project images of benevolence and a healthy society... not one that is ruled by technocracy and a preference for identifying individuals by their QR code status. I very much appreciate your comment .
I agree. These dark lords are Occultists, and we need to use the power of Magick to counter their vision of the future with our own vision. It’s an Etheric War.
Hmm...yes, I think so too. Reminds me of Kyle Griffith's 1988 book, The War in Heaven. That was an important read for me.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful and heartfelt remarks. I’m down the road in Oregon, Willamette Valley.
The best article I ever read from Daniel and that is saying quite a lot. I wish I had this 13 days ago (before I finally caved in and got the first of two Moderna "vax" shots. Note, the impact this shot has had upon my life over the past 12 days ensures I will never come near another vax no matter what. My intuition screamed at me not to. I won't explain why I did. I feel like a complete fool. I pray I reacquire my "connection" and though over the last few days I have some reason for hope, most of the last 12 I have spent just wishing my life would end. No exaggeration. It has been that horrible.
Can you tell us something about what you have been going through?
This is a list of symptoms - I won't post my dairy which is now 12 pages long...
arm pain (for the first 4 days)
my morning meditative/contemplative routine – empty, disconnected.
not feeling myself – low level flu like symptoms –
rare or no experience of my chi – rare or no experience of the extended reality perceptions I normally can bring up – a sense my connection to my extended reality bodies has been severed or greatly choked off
junk in the lungs which became like when an illness is coming on (a cold or something similar… a virus, a flu, etc.)
coffee nervousness from just one cup
tiredness – falling asleep in my chair
very little will to exercise
the experience of pressure and/or pain related to my heart area – at a higher level than usual. Experienced at times like after I have eaten and then I do a brisk walk up the stairs.
Much greater hunger, especially late in the day.
A hard poop and then a stretch of diarrhea - almost to completely pure water for an hour or so (five, six, seven times).
The sleep – vivid dreams / waking off and on and then striving again to sleep, a few times struggling. Averaging less sleep overall than normal. This later seemed to stop.
Blurred vision when I read for any length of time. And it remains blurred even after I take a break. Only getting better after a lengthy rest from reading (both books and my PC).
Some concerns as to pressures/pains in my chest area off and on - experiences that I had not had prior to the shot
Chester, I am so sorry for the painful and debilitating effects you are experiencing. Have you reported to the VAERS site? https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/hcproviders/reportingadverseevents.html
I don't know how useful it is at this time, as much of the adverse event reporting is being hidden from the public, but I would do it anyway as it could be important in the future.
You are definitely not alone in your situation.
I was following a group on Facebook called "Canadian Deaths and Adverse Reactions." It was growing by about 1000 people a day, all reporting about reactions such as yours. Some people posted videos and photos. It was really horrific to see the results of vaccine aftermath. Then, as the group inched ever closer to 100,000 members, Facebook promptly pulled it off the site. Canadians are left with virtually nowhere to turn, and many are in the adverse event demographic now. I have some personal friends and acquaintances who have conveyed everything from stroke, to blood clots, heart attack, and in the case of a 16-year-old niece of one of my healthcare professionals, a few trips to the ER for internal bleeding and neurological symptoms. A month after the shot she is still barely functional. All of this is being covered up by the media, and doctors have been threatened with a loss of their license if they dare question the official narrative or promote so-called "mis-information."
You may find some information on the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons website that will be helpful as well. They also have an article (scroll to the bottom of the home page) about the importance of reporting to VAERS:

Lastly, if you feel up to taking further action, consider contacting the legal team at America's Frontline Doctors. They are under total attack from the mainstream and labelled "right-wing misinformation" but nothing could be further from the truth. My friend is their legal manager. She hears stories similar to yours every day.
The AF Doctors know what they're talking about and they have the credentials, peer-reviewed studies, and many online short videos to back up what they are saying. They are preparing further Declarations which means they stand by their statements under oath in a court of law. There will be more lawsuits forthcoming from multiple sources. Whether they'll be successful or not given the extraordinary power of the tech/pharma/government conglomerate remains to be seen.

I wish you all the best Chester, and I hope you are able to pull through your vaccine-induced ill health with a complete restoration to your pre-vax state.
Hi Susan and thank you for this thoughtful post. I see my general practitioner tomorrow. I am afraid to take any reporting action because I prefer not to risk backlash upon any in my family )or myself). I do not trust any "government" agency or any of their representatives at all anymore. I do not have any confidence in anything that comes from the mainstream media or much of the alternative media.
I am very familiar with the America's Frontline Doctors and the GLCCC Alliance and their I-Mask+ prevention protocol and early outpatient protocol and was consistently taking the prevention protocol as well as improving my overall health (and weight/exercise, etc) and have had prefect health for two years. I feel extremely foolish I went against my intuition BUT I did so when my step-daughter (age 23) and my wife (age 55) decided to get the vax. I felt that perhaps all would be OK and that we all should be on the same page since we live in the same household.
It was just a few days after I began to learn more about the ADE risks and heart risks. Again, I feel terribly foolish. Anyways, I have some treatment recommendations provided by Dr, Fleming (Event 2021) to bring to my GP tomorrow in hopes he will prescribe some of these treatments.
Having said all the above, I will report the following. After speaking with several friends, a few suggested Liposomal Glutathione and as of last Tuesday, I have taken the max recommended daily dose. In addition, I began to do daily dry-brushing (as per instructions), then soak in a Dead Sea salt bath and then, perform a full body olive oil rub which I retain for at least 20 minutes before rinsing off.
Interestingly and as of yesterday, I have started to feel better. I am still far from back to where I was, but I have a little hope now. And understand, I have little fear of death. What I fear is leaving this world before I have plans in place (plans that are in various stages of implementation) for my wife's future as I am 8 years older, she's in better overall health and if nature takes its most likely coarse, I will pass well before her. I just want to make sure as best I can, she's set as she's an artist and I have been the household income provider, and I can't leave her without knowing she's got some security going forward.
Apologies for too much information... I guess I am just pouring out as my way of processing.
Chester, you are amazing. You are right on top of this issue and I commend you for following protocols that are restorative and natural. No apologies necessary. We're all in this together. I just hope the divisions heal along with everyone's bodies.
Chester, thank you for sharing your experience. Oh man. My heart goes out. That was a big risk for you to take, posting here, and I like to think that in so doing it is a massive step in your healing process. I will be thinking of you. Thanks for trusting us and the collective to be an active part of your process in this way. It is the way :)
Chester I sincerely hope that you recover. It’s stories like yours that truly disturb me because I don’t want this vaccine to get forced on me against my will and I don’t want to lose my spiritual center. I wonder if Psychedelics would help you at all? Maybe not though so that’s not advice. But maybe things are just eclipsed and will return like a cloudy day eventually passes. Please update on if you recover because it will provide hope for everyone.
Chester, I am just curious how you are doing now at this point?
Hi, thanks for asking. I am fortunate in that I was able to take 40 hours of hyperbaric chamber treatments which made a big difference. Having said that, my last test still had me as a recent "positive" (The IgM test) and I still have days where I only feel about 50% of my former self but most days I feel about 90% and even 100%.
It now appears I had gotten "covid" yet did not know it, then, got the first Moderna shot. The doctor told me they are seeing this more and more... that folks get covid yet have very little or no symptoms (especially folks like me who used the recommended prophylaxis routine that included Ivermectin) and then "get the shot" (like I did) and all sorts of issues seem to arise. The doctor is perturbed that "testing" is not required prior to getting the shot.
The worst part was getting the report that I now have a borderline "enlarged heart." Also, my blood pressure readings are about 20 points higher than they had been pretty consistently.
I did NOT (and have been told by my doctor not to) get "the second Moderna shot." At this point, I do not care what "they" do to me, there is no way I will ever get near one of those shots. If I had NOT gotten the shot, I would have avoided all these issues AND had natural immunity.
Thank you for the response. I am glad you are doing better and have new insights on the matter. Hope you continue to heal and if you have any new updates you wish to share at any point, I at least am interested in hearing about it. And if not then I wish you well from here on out.
I am sad to hear that coercion is one of the main reasons it seems you got vaxxed, Daniel.
Despite all of the access to information you have, it seems you were ultimately bowled over by shaming and guilt, two things I discovered were much a part of life living in NYC, where hypocrisy runs wild and if you resist the status quo, you're out.
Hope you make it back to Mexico. I just left NYC (not bc of mandates, but it was fortuitous timing). I am running a Temple in Colima for our community to restore and integrate our collective well being, well outside the narrative of c19. TempleColima.com
Very interesting article. Thanks. A testament to self-examination in the face of inner struggle (or even because of it).
For me it came down to a simple observation: The people around me who were humble, kind, intelligent, well-educated, reasonable, and thoughtful GOT vaccinated. And all the people who DIDN'T were various degrees of egocentric, "don't tell me what to do", bully types, paranoid, righteous, stingy, faith-based and extremist (or as you say "stingy, stodgy, and narcissistic.")
And then I noticed that those same anti-vaxxers also tended to be the anti-mask crowd and I knew it was nothing but anti-social, narcissistic flailing. I felt that anyone who chose to believe that mask wearing was totalitarian control rather than reasonable courtesy toward our fellow Earthlings in times of uncertainty...is just crazy.
I decided I would rather DIE or BE CONTROLLED along with the first group, rather than survive with the second.
“I decided I would rather DIE or BE CONTROLLED along with the first group, rather than survive with the second.” Yes because the unscrupulous people promulgating all the chaos and profiting off it are definitely such fun to be around — way more noble and kind than skeptics of draconian public health measures. I like a good billionaire sociopath in my social circle. 😎
You are proving my point.
“And then I noticed that those same anti-vaxxers also tended to be the anti-mask crowd and I knew it was nothing but anti-social, narcissistic flailing.“
Or maybe it was obvious that the mask virtue signaling was a dry run for the vax virtue signaling around the corner. Was pretty obvious to me anyway. And to be fair, I simply have avoided society all this time because I was against the mask but also didn’t arrogantly walk around without one on either. I simply became a Hermit. I felt that if the virus is really that dangerous, then a cloth mask isn’t going to help much, which proved to have evidence of truth after Fauci’s emails were leaked.
“I decided I would rather DIE or BE CONTROLLED along with the first group, rather than survive with the second.”
Well, that just speaks for itself. At least you’re honest..
That someone would knowingly entrust themselves to unscrupulous, greedy, corrupted global power vectors rather rather than advocate for human rights & seek for viable public & interpersonal health alternatives doesn’t bode well for the future of democracy at all. Acquiescence on the part of duped and dulled progressives has been one of the saddest things about the last year and a half.
I have felt that struggle too. Thank you for the resourcing to further explore the depth & variety of worldviews of the multi-layers presented. I am very grateful that you are here sharing as you do Daniel.
I'm choosing not to get the vax - I have an autoimmune condition that I don't want to get re-activated or aggravated - but I respect your decision, Daniel. Almost all of my friends have chosen not to get it: It's the hill we're going to die on. I did have one friend get it, and she got the J&J as you did. I must say, this part of your article really resonates with me: " I can’t help but sympathize with the conspiratorial view. It does seem that our society is in the process of reorganizing around the unprecedented surveillance power of the tech companies, meshed with the government and the financial elite, and lastly, the encroaching field of bio-informatics as a means of overarching tracking and control." I follow numerous sources that you listed, and adding in Naomi Klein's excellent Screen New Deal, which shows how the co-opted Democratic party is the medium through which this technocratic dystopia is going to be unleashed, it's hard for me not to come to the conclusion that this was no "lab accident" but rather a very sophisticated operation of "problem, reaction, solution," using a never-ending invisible abstraction like "COVID" as a catalyst to usher in a global technocratic dystopia. For that reason alone, I'm simply not going to do it regardless of the costs. That, and I now see that it's going to be a never-ending stream of boosters and new vaccines for new variants and viruses. Even if I get lucky with the J&J, there's no guarantee that I will get lucky next time. SO, what to do? It seems as if I am going to move out of California and probably end up in Montana. It's not ideal, but I refuse to live under the growing medical apartheid.
Post script- I am not anti-vax. However, unlike most people, I had a bad reaction to the Moderna vaccine. There are others who've reported a bad reaction. I'm reminded of the deluge of Pharmaceutical commercials which end with a litany of possible side effects among a small population. Shouldn't the same be expected of experimental vaccines? We chose the lesser of two evils. I chose the vaccine to insure against infecting others. With the new variant, it's not so simple. F.L.
Hi Daniel, I really enjoyed reading your latest article "From Vacillation to Vaccination"; it brought to my imagination your being a character in a Twilight Zone episode, in which at any moment the next shoe is about to drop. I empathize with every word you've written here. So, for your perusal, I'll briefly share what happened to me, because it isn't insignificant.
I was NOT eager to get vaccinated. I tend to see reality through a mythological lens, and the Air borne pathogen emerging as the World entered the Kingdom of Air, a 200 year cycle closely associated to the Great Conjunction Cycle of Jupiter and Saturn; this is on the cusp of the Age of Aquarius, another AIR Sign, of 2,160 years in duration. But enough astrology, it's fascinating, an archetypal lens, and comprehensive in its own way, but over most people's heads, and for good reason, I suppose, for modernity is fully caught in a veneer of rational materialism.
So, I got vaccinated for the reasons you mention, going along so I didn't inadvertently spread the virus to my family, friends, or anyone, and to avoid dying a terrible death, myself. Although I wanted to get the J&J Vaccine, the week I made inquiries was the week J&J was in the News with some concerns about its safety (I forget the exact details). So, I went and got the Moderna Vaccine, despite my intuition telling me the manipulation of RNA seems ill-advised. But I didn't anticipate any major crisis in my own health; I was optimistic. I got the first shot of Moderna, on April 21, 2021. There was no side-effects other than tenderness to my arm the next day. I got the 2nd Moderna shot on May 19th, at 8am. Around 9pm I started feeling a little nauseous, I went to bed early. Around 2AM I awoke with a crazy and terrifying headache, I guess it was a "cluster headache"; I'd never had one before. It was like 5 or 6 throbbing red-hot marbles in my brain. I was pretty upset, as you can imagine. But, I wrote it off as the vaccine taking effect. I stayed in bed all the following day. By 7PM I was feeling a bit better. I was back in bad by 11PM. I awoke around 2AM with another headache. This one was different. It felt like a heavy iron rod from the base of my skull to the front of my forehead, slightly to one side. I spent hours trying to find a position for my head that would relieve the pain. I was up the next day, and felt crappy as I went about my business. The 3rd night I slept through without incident. On the fourth day I went about my business. However, the 4th night, I awoke about 2AM with a feeling of a heavy stone on my chest. I thought I might be having early symptoms of a heart attack. My voice in my head was repeating the phrase: "Something is swollen to the point of bursting", the same thought repeating in my mind. Now, I probably should have called an Emergency Room, but I didn't; I lay there wondering WTF was happening to me now? The next morning I read a brief article in the NEWS, about the Moderna Vaccine causing a few adolescent boy's hearts to swell. I sensed immediately that's what happened to me, on the previous night. For the next two weeks I had symptoms of congestive heart failure. I was weak, exhausted, and uncharacteristically lethargic, I had difficulty climbing stairs, or anything requiring brut strength. After two weeks of this labored state, I sank into a dark depression, worse than anything I've experienced in over 40 years. My life felt overwhelming and without purpose. I was kept up at night with regret, shame, agonizing over my past. Any armor on my soul had been sloughed off, I felt completely exposed and vulnerable, like a molted crab. It was torturous. For 80 days my chest felt like a kettle of anguish. I managed to continue painting, and doing my simple routines, but the feeling of regret was unrelenting. I finally went to the hospital (after 6 weeks) and they did an EKG and said everything was fine; the dr wrote me a prescription to see a therapist, I started this last week Meah. The awful feelings have begun to fade this week. But, if they start pushing booster shots for everyone, I will not be on board; I'll tell them about the terrible reaction I had. I couldn't take anymore. I deeply regret getting the Moderna Vaccine. I suspect it seriously screwed me up somehow, I feel weaker in spirit. I can only hope I will finally recover, and this will be, completely, a thing of the past.
Regarding your upcoming Series on Death and the Afterlife, my article you included in "Exploring the Edge Realms of Consciousness", entitled: "Journey Through A Cosmic Portal", was the first of three visions in Tulum. I had two more visions in Tulum, in 2005. These visions pertain to an archetypal paradigm, a mythological perspective, related to the afterlife. Visions like these help us to imagine the non-temporal realm, what's happening concurrently but mostly unconsciously alongside the inexorable march of time, here in the collective material realm. Visions are like dreams , I would categorize them as "real" figments of the soul. Like certain dreams, certain visions are relevant to a wider audience; some may bare relevant images that are nutritious for the whole world.
Keep well, Daniel, you're much appreciated.
Warm regards, Franklin
Franklin, please see the reply I posted on Chester's story. You may also benefit from some of the information. Your writing is so vivid...I can almost feel your pain, and can certainly sense the exhaustion and shock at the symptoms you were experiencing. There are many people who are going through the same thing right now, without a lot of support from either medical professionals nor family and friends who believe the vax advertising campaigns. I hope you are able to restore your health. It is as though we have gone through the wrong portal into a dimension of darkness and despair. We need to collectively find the doorway to the light and benevolent side of new technology that is for the genuine good of humanity.
Thank you Susan for your concern and goodwill. I am not anti-vaccine. But, I believe different people will have different reactions. If anything irks me, it's the presumption that it's perfectly safe for everyone, that seems counter-intuitive to me. I did not expect to have a bad reaction, yet, I did. It's conceivable that there were pre-existing conditions, in me, which the vaccine triggered, or by sheer coincidence went haywire at the time I got the vaccine. The over-arching, and mythological lens that informs my worldview, has to do with astrology and alchemy (ancient psychology.) The Age of Pisces is in rabid decline, a crisis of immense concern. The Age of Aquarius is in ascendancy, but it's like a mycelium spore, tiny projects here, there, and everywhere struggling to secure a spot in which to grow and spread its influence for the general good. As of last Winter solstice the world entered the "Kingdom of Air". That's a 200 year period in which the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn will occur in the AIR signs. Every 20 years Jupiter and Saturn appear to meet in the sky. Their conjunction marks a generation. AIR is about Knowledge, information, thought. AIR, also, has something in common with imagination. It seems significant that the world entered the Kingdom of AIR with the proliferation of "smart phones" and other technologies sharing information at volumes and rates as never before. More significantly, that "Truth" and "Fake News" became a major issue threatening the stability and fabric of modern civilization. In the Tarot, AIR is the suit of Swords. We can imagine the Sword of Discernment cutting away the false, the delusional, and the inflationary which are the dangers inherent to the imagination. It's what gives imagination a bad rap. Discernment is the antidote which restores imagination to its proper position as the faculty of the divine human imagination. This is why meditation, and schooling in Wisdom Traditions is highly recommended. Wisdom is said to be the intersection of Logos (Science-temporal, physical, logical) and Mythos (Timeless archetypal heartmind.) A metaphor for the current situation is moving into the Eye of the Storm and mirroring that position (it's calm in the Eye) until the storm subsides. Apocalypse has a lot to do with the tension of opposites. Learn to hold concepts, opinions, beliefs lightly, and let's not mistake the appearance of things for the ultimate reality. :)
Hey Franklin... I'm on the same page with you as to the vaccine and its variable response in individuals. The problem has been with informed consent. The advertising campaigns and editorials that were used to promote the vaccine as "safe" conveniently left out invaluable information that would have helped a lot of people make better decisions, or at least respond in kind to those "gut feelings" that it may not be right for your own body.
It appears my comments may have been the catalyst for the further insights you have provided in regard to your background, and I'm grateful for the depth of information you've shared. I am fascinated by astrology and alchemy. I have a dear friend who has a Ph.D in psychology from Berkeley. She is a fabulous astrologer and psychic. She has done several readings on my personal chart. We used to get together often when we lived closer together and play what we called "spin the planet." As I am a contactee and often have precognitive dreams or telepathically transmitted information on global situations, we would compare notes and attempt to unravel complex circumstances with no outside influences other than our combined knowledge and skill sets.
Your last sentence reminds me of another friend, my ex-boyfriend (a.k.a. the UFO Lawyer) who was famous for suing the U.S. government through Citizens Against UFO Secrecy to have them release their classified files on the UFO/UAP subject. But as he began to pull back from the spotlight, he/we moved to Sedona, Arizona, where he eventually became obsessed with a "leap of faith" from the top of Bell Rock, that he was going to execute on Dec. 12, 2012, in order to "reset the program and save humanity from a pending memetic virus." As crazy as it sounded, he had a solid argument for it (he was an outstanding lawyer by all accounts) but the key point was that his delusions may have in fact been closer to reality than they appeared to be at the time.
I find solace in Agni Yoga and am on my 10th or 15th (I've lost track) reading of The Leaves of Morya's Garden, Book I (1924) and Book II (1925), by Helena Roerich. Reading your words is yet another reminder to try to get to at least a page or two each day and dial down my desire to scan news sites from all over the world looking for the tipping point that would signal some restoration of balance and dignity to the people of this planet.
Early in 1989 when my contact experiences first began, "they" repeated the words, "learn to discern." So, my mantra for today is to practice with the Sword of Discernment, as today is a tipping point in the wrong direction for the Province of British Columbia. Many of us feel sick. We are in shock. Yesterday, local health authorities announced vaccine passports for B.C. beginning September 13th, with full implementation by mid-October. I can only see this descending into chaos...the other side of the eye of the storm.
Be well :)
What a fascinating thread. What became of the UFO Lawyer? and did he survive 12-21-2012? The incident brought up a personal memory. I suffered a similar spiritual crisis, in October 1977. I believed I had to sacrifice myself and leap from a 400 foot precipice, in the Valentine Flats, in Zoar Valley, in WNY, to save the world from a total catastrophe. At the last moment, an invisible force prevented this sacrifice. I was suffering the Christ, an archetypal dilemma, not uncommon for an inflated youth; during a long tumultuous initiation crisis. I'd been reading Carlos Castaneda, and taking his lessons too literally and personally. My wise elders were deceased authors. over the course of many years I lived in an epic initiation story.
Helena Roerich, the wife of Nicolas Roerich, what a great citation! He's one of my favorite artists. Some of my paintings are an homage to his work. I've had the pleasure of visiting his museum, 30 years ago, in the Upper Westside of Manhattan. It's delightful to see Helena's work being invoked. although I'm not familiar with Helena's work.
I hope you find courage, and you feel grounded, when facing the up-coming challenges brought on by the virus. The majority of people seem to be fine with the vaccines. My experience is the exception, not the rule. I wouldn't recommend the Moderna vaccine, that's for certain. Roerich is the great Agni Yoga mystic. Tolkien writes of the "Secret Fire of Iluvatar" in The Silmariliion. Same period, similar imagery. Intuition is closest to the Divine.
Fascinating, indeed! Rather than write Peter's entire story, here's a link from 2016 that brings you up to that year. As of 2021, he is still taking people to the top of Bell Rock, now numbering over 4000. Quite a feat for someone his age, as it is not an easy hike. He is quite a character.
https://catapult.co/stories/the-vortex-jumper-of-sedona-arizona
I read most of the Carlos Castaneda books while living in Phoenix. I was fully engaged with another ufologist and we had a band called UFAUX. I played drums. It was wildly psychedelic, instrumental, space-rock, often compared to the likes of King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Pink Floyd. That is another story unto itself. The three of us played concerts and lectured at UFO Conferences around the Southwest.
I would have loved to have seen Roerich's paintings in person! All my trips into NYC have been quick in and outs...never enough time for everything. You paint as well? I do too. Mainly dog portraits these days, but my real work is in the visionary genre.
Thank you for the kind words and sensible dialogue regarding the vaccine. Most people aren't in my position of having an autoimmune condition with extreme sensitivities to allopathic medicine, so I am only hoping to receive some sense of empathy and compassion in return for non-judgement on my part. I am very saddened at the response of close friends who have taken the more bullying, hard-line stance toward those who do not want the injection. We were initially told, "we just need two weeks to flatten the curve." Sigh.
I have been buoyed by our exchange though, and I thank you for that. We'll come out the other side of this one way or the other. Hopefully stronger and healthier than ever.
Wow. Quite a story. Thanks for the background perspective. One thing I haven't heard yet is: "Mother Nature is sick and tired of our invasive species." Somewhere that should enter the conversation.
Excellent introspective analysis. We know that pandemics happen without intentional meddling by bioweapon researchers, and that they are very likely to appear with increasing frequency as the climate changes. If we're lucky, the melting permafrost won't release something novel from 100 million years ago that's extremely lethal. Fortunately, we have many tools today to counter public health emergencies, and like any medical treatment they all carry some risk. When considering the risk/benefit ratio, I think all of the vaccines, including mRNAs, are acceptable. Boosters are also reasonable. We already have flu and other boosters every year. Does this mean the whole thing is a nefarious plan by big pharma because those in control are rapaciously greedy? I doubt it. I think it is far more likely that when it comes to new challenges most of the time we're running blind, and when you do that occasionally you run into walls or over cliffs.
Well written and extensively researched. Much has been covered but not everything. It's of course unrealistic and impossible to expect someone to know everything, but as Yuval Noah Harari points out in the first page of his book 21 lessons for the 21st century:
In a world deluged by irrelevant information, clarity is power.
In theory, anybody can join the debate about the future of
humanity, but it is so hard to maintain a clear vision. Frequently, we don’t even notice that a debate is going on, or what
the key questions are. Billions of us can hardly afford the luxury
of investigating, because we have more pressing things to do:
we have to go to work, take care of the kids, or look after elderly
parents. Unfortunately, history gives no discounts. If the future
of humanity is decided in your absence, because you are too
busy feeding and clothing your kids – you and they will not
be exempt from the consequences. This is very unfair; but who
said history was fair?
Unlike you, sadly, many people do not take the time to investigate or do any kind of research. They delegate that responsibility to authority, thus giving up their power in the process.
Daniel, have you researched the Schumann resonance and its impact on the neurology of our electromagnetic system? The way electromagnetic energy can affect systems such as the respiratory, cardiac and immune systems. There have been many fluctuations in the Schumann resonance since the winter of 2020. ELFs often cause flu like symptoms but no media outlet talks about this. This leads me to believe a mask and an experimental injection will not be the key to our health.
Also, have you researched the psychology of groupthink, belief systems and cognitive dissonance? And how about collective consciousness or the unified field theory where not only individual placebo and nocebo effects can have an effect on our biology, but collective placebos and nocebos can also creep in and start infecting communities and societies. We are all connected.
What about subliminal or subconscious predictive programming to make people accept change more easily, and to accept lies more easily.
Other topics such as the cyclicality of our physical nature should also be taken into consideration as part of quantum physics theory, microcosm and macrocosm (which is found in the science of astrology as well). We live cycles or frequencies, not only in terms of sunrises and sunsets, our circadian rhythms, equinoxes and solstices, but also social ones, such as world cups, olympics, economic crashes, wars and genocides. We are in the middle of a genocide, just as you wrote about jews being ostracized from society due to powerful propaganda telling society that they spread diseases and needed to be isolated and discriminated. This was done, not abruptly, but slowly and systematically, with manufactured consent.
The parallels are oh-so-common:
-Newspaper outlets and political speeches took care of the propaganda. Now that is MSM.
-The gestapo burned books to control information just as social media is censuring an insane amount information i.e. testimonies of reactions (such as accounts reported on this very thread) and alternative positions or science.
-Segregation is occurring at a fast pace by having to show papers (now in digital form) to authorities. We see this in NYC, France and Italy, coming to a city near you.
-Gates, as you write, is the psychopath control hungry tyrant, just as Hitler was.
-The entire process had a very famous medical authority in Dr Mengele (Dr Fauci's character also fits in well).
-The jewish getthos where jews had to isolate were our homes in 2020.
-Lastly, the injection is the gas chamber. It's already happening as many have not only had reactions from the injection but many have also died. If you search hard enough, you can find that info that is being hidden from us.
Most comply blindly to authority as a result of neurological and subconscious associations of the way we view our parents as children: our first source of authority. We associate this with compassion, care and love. Later, the view on authority transfers to school as children and government as adults. Many people are unable to dissociate subconsciously the connection they have with authority and compassion, care and love. This is why most people believe the government is there to help and care for them. Governments have been responsible for over 300M deaths of THEIR OWN people in the last century. He who does not understand the past, is bound to recreate the future.
Tyranny is accepted because people want to do good, from their belief systems, but sometimes, when the heard is wrong, acquiescing and obedient, it can lead to catastrophic events: people blindly complying to authority. Hitler never killed 6M jews. Order followers did.
Good luck to all. Resistance is key in times of deceit.
I strongly recommend anyone thinking of getting injected with an experimental substance to go on the uncensored video platform bitchute.com and type in "vaccine reactions" to view what is actually happening. This perspective is never shown on mainstream media, and even worse, censured by social media giants.
Lastly, a good read would be Edward Bernays' book Propaganda. It talks about the secret government hiring mind control specialists to generate thought control of society, and it ain't in the favour of the people that's for sure!
Thanks for this thoughtful piece. I sympathize with your difficultly navigating this decision. I came to the same choice back in May when I got the Pfizer shots. After studying the known info on possible risks from the vaccines (eg, ADE), I weighed these against possible risks from severe or long term Covid. I also took into account the social pros of vaccination as I foresee the mandates and regimented boosters being a requirement to participate in society.
Martenson and several of the other sources you named have been vital info for me throughout the pandemic, though I’m unable to come to any clear conclusion or synthesis about anything. My suspicion is, as with most everything else surrounding Covid, we will never know for certain the clear data on whether these vaccines are safe and effective over the long term. The trials were all unblinded early to allow participants access to the authorized vaccines, which irreparably compromised the RCTs. This was loudly decried as a threat to the science by many in the virology community and within the FDA, but the pharma companies did it anyway. Now we won’t have solid follow-up research for long term safety/efficacy to compare to against control groups. And with boosters on the way and liable to be widely distributed, the real world data will be a complete mess as people pile on new vaccines in short timespans. My sense is it will be impossible to parse the potential side effects of one vaccine product from another — or from prior Covid infection, as many vaccinated are also getting breakthroughs. I also read a med journal article suggesting that the way the Covid vaccine rollout has gone down may have set a precedent permanently scrapping the gold standard of multi year RCTs for vax development. Arguments will be made for fast tracking trials, issuing EUAs and breaking blinds early in the interest of public health, providing us much more limited data and amounting to a radical shift in the scientific standards. “Trust the science” will be more about an act of faith in the institutions than a position rooted in solid data and fastidious research.
That was an awful lot of excruciating perseverating only to come to an unsupported conclusion that is obviously based on fear and social convenience. It is common knowledge at this point that your vaccination offers no protection to your mom or anyone else, so that makes this the longest most tortuous bit of virtue signaling I've ever encountered. Another one bites the dust. Goodbye, Daniel Pinchbeck.
That is not exactly the case. The evidence from the mainstream sources is that the vaccinations provide protection from severe illness for at least 6 - 8 months. If you have a less intense viral load and are asymptomatic, you will be significantly less likely to pass Covid onto others.
Belonging is a powerful need... a great incentive to comply & obey. instilling fear into people that they will do harm to their loved ones is a long-standing method of torture & coercion... it’s worked very well for all authoritarian regimes.
What I don’t understand is why Daniel — if he was taking Ivermectin prophylactically— felt that wasn’t sufficient to protect others from him possibly transmitting c19 to an elder...? If this was really the principle reason to get a shot. What diminished his confidence in his relative own protection & immunity from covid to the degree that he’d take one of the vaccines known now to be least effective against c19 & variants.
PM - check out the Quilette article I cite. Evidence for Ivermectin still seems quite weak, unfortunately.
Uttar Pradesh has been promoted as an area that has had 'outstanding' success with ivermectin. Stats supporting their claims which posit low death rates against other areas where ivermectin was not used have underpinned many of their claims of success. The article below seems fairly objective as it does not mention vaccines, therapies, ivermectin, just how skewed the statistics have been coming out of that region.
https://article-14.com/post/untitled-60cf605395758
A bit on Ivermectin— The American Journal of Therapeutics, Meta-Analysis PDF file:
“Meta-analysis of 15 (study) trials found that Ivermectin reduced risk of death compared with no Ivermectin (average risk ratio 0.38, 95% confidence)."
“Findings indicate with moderate certainty that Ivermectin treatment in COVID-19 provides a significant survival benefit.” “Overall, the evidence suggests that early use of Ivermectin may reduce morbidity and mortality from COVID-19.”
[Findings ignored by U.S. FDA, failure to issue EUA for Ivermectin in Covid-19 treatment.]
“World Health Organization (WHO) document on Ivermectin …found that adverse events with Ivermectin were primarily minor and transient. ...Ivermectin is NOT a new and experimental drug with an unknown safety profile. Ivermectin is a WHO listed “Essential Medicine”.
“At least 5 other (study) reviews of Ivermectin use for COVID-19 have been published, including one co-authored with Nobel Laureate Professor Satoshi Omura, discoverer of Ivermectin…”
There are at least 75 peer-reviewed studies over 30 years on the safety and efficacy profile of this drug, whereas we have only a span of months of data on current vaxxes on market.
Read the Quilette article Daniel cites, it casts serious doubt on the AJT meta-analysis you cite by Dr. Tess Lawrie. https://quillette.com/2021/07/06/looking-for-covid-19-miracle-drugs-we-already-have-them-theyre-called-vaccines/.
Of note: "In Canada, similarly, a provincial review of all available studies found no basis for recommending ivermectin outside of a clinical trial. They specifically note the “critically low quality” of Dr. Tess Lawrie’s meta-analysis."
I watched Lawrie being interviewed and unfortunately cannot remember by who. When asked critical questions about ivermectin, (answers she should have at her fingertips and questions that were not particularly hardball,) her response was, "It works" That was it. "It works." That's not a particularly rigorous response and falls short of any scientific argument I am familiar with.
I don't disagree with most of your suspicions, but I am glad you got the shot.
Since you got it, I just wish you the best and that is all.
Having a scientific background I know how to read research reports, so I did my homework and decided I would not take an mRNA vaccine, partly because of the way it was described as working and partly because it was a relatively new technology. Instead, I took the Johnson & Johnson "one and done" vaccination and one booster, which used a more mature technology and which (early on) showed essentially 100% prevention of hospitalization and death, which I thought more important than the "prevention of infection" statistic. And I'm glad I did. I'm in my 70s, I've never worn a mask (when not forced to) since, haven't avoided crowds or any company, never had another booster, never bothered taking a covid test, and if I ever contracted covid (I've no idea if I did) the symptoms were negligible.
Daniel, these Covid shots do not even claim to prevent infection or transmission, only to reduce symptoms. You wrote “I also desired to participate in society and do my little part.” What part? You are not protecting anybody by taking a shot.
I’d advise taking several natural antidotes to the spike protein and to graphene oxide as soon as possible. These include dandelion root tincture, vitamin C, D3 and zinc, NAC, pine needle tea/oil, quercetin.
Have you listened to Michael Yeadon?
https://www.bitchute.com/video/9Ci2jK1yFoOd/
I have listened to Yeadon but also paid attention to the establishment scientists. It seems vaccines are protecting people from severe illness. Yes not perfect. Everything is ambiguous right now. People have to make their own discernment. As for now, living in a dense city like NYC, i feel I made the right personal choice.
Thanks for responding. Of course it is your choice to allow this product into your body. Some facts cry out though, for example: Good information about prevention, early treatment, and effective late treatment is being suppressed in the mainstream, which is herding all toward this genetic treatment. Deaths occurring less than 14 days after the 2nd injection (thousands of deaths) are being tallied and reported as deaths among the "unvaccinated."
I feel compelled to point out some of the glaring misinformation around ADE that Pinchbeck is peddling with this journalistically disastrous blog post.
A few points...
1 -”I worry we are starting to see signs that ADE is a real problem."
I worry that much of what follows this statement suggests Pinchbeck is not in a position to be able to make a statement like that!
2 - The video Pinchbeck linked to in which he states that Bill Gates says “we won’t know their side effects or health consequences for up to two years,“ was posted by a Twitter user named Truth_Matters with 1,500 followers, whose entire account is dedicated to anti-vaccine propaganda, and the video is heavily edited. This is the source that Pinchbeck, a professional writer, chose to cite...
In terms of Pinchbeck’s representing of Gates’ words, he has misrepresented them. The actual quote is, “If you want to wait and see if a side effect shows up two years later, that takes two years.”
Pinchbeck, on the other hand, writes that Gates said that "we won’t know their side effects or health consequences for up to two years.
The difference is subtle, but critical.
The *actual* quote *could* be potentially concerning, sure. However. The video Pinchbeck uses as a citation is edited such that we do not get the sentence before it, after it, or even the question that yielded that response.
We don’t know - unless we go and find the original interview, which I assume Pinchbeck did not do, because he would have likely linked to it instead of this random Twitter person - what specific idea Gates was addressing or even what point he was making. Was Gates making some larger point about safety? We'd have to do actual research to find out, we'd have to be interested in the truth, not just forwarding our own opionions. Pinchbeck is clearly not interested in this!
That Pinchbeck is using a heavily edited video from an explicitly biased source is...not reassuring. Particularly for a professional writer! But hey, journalistic integrity thankfully does not apply to substack.
(For what it’s worth, as far as I am aware, there has never been a long-term side effect from a vaccine that showed up more than two months after the vaccine was administered. Multi-year side effects are, historically, not a thing. Did Gates make a larger point about vaccine safety in that interview? From that video, no one, certainly not Pinchbeck, would know!)
3 - Pinchbeck is, hopefully not intentionally, misrepresenting the Frontiers paper on ADE. (Though you'd be forgiven for thinking, based on the citation of the video above, that he is at least being incredibly lazy, if not malicious.)
Here is the quote from the journal article that Pinchbeck compiled -
“Development of vaccines to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and other coronavirus has been difficult to create due to vaccine induced enhanced disease responses in animal models… Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) may be involved in the clinical observation of increased severity of symptoms associated with early high levels of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in patients… Given past data on multiple SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV vaccine efforts have failed due to ADE in animal models, it is reasonable to hypothesize a similar ADE risk for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and vaccines. ADE risks may be associated with antibody level (which can wane over time after vaccination) and also if the antibodies are derived from prior exposures to other coronaviruses.”
While this block could be gone through piece-by-piece, the punch line is that the journal article presents accurate information about past research on coronavirus vaccines and then offers various speculations and cautions on future research. It’s a whole bunch of “may's” and “it is reasonable to hypothesize’s."
While Pinchbeck more or less accurately summarizes the previous research presented by the article, **he completely fails to offer any acknowledgment that scientists are aware of these risks and have taken them into account in developing the current vaccines.** This is a huge, consequential thing to step over!! Rather, he just moves on to the next point. You would think, from this blog post, that Pinchbeck discovered ADE and is now warning the world for the first time.
If not for the fact that he is publishing on a personal blog, this omission would be journalistic malpractice. I think this counts as pretty much straight-up fear-mongering.
(If you’re interested, the interaction of pre-existing concern about ADE and the development of the current vaccines are discussed in decent summary here - https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2021/02/12/antibody-dependent-enhancement-and-the-coronavirus-vaccines. And I am sure there are other, much more detailed references out there. Don't look for them in this article though, because, again, Pinchbeck is clearly not out for anything that doesn't confirm his own biases.)
4 - Pinchbeck is, also hopefully not intentionally (though at this point I am pretty skeptical!), misrepresenting the quote from the Times.
Pinchbeck writes:
"But most concerning is the following, surprising quote:
'The vaccine is still believed to help prevent severe illness in those who do become infected, though some Israeli data suggests the possibility of an increased risk of severe disease among those who received early vaccinations.'
If this turns out to be the case, it corresponds with the ADE model seen in earlier animal studies."
That quote should not be surprising to anyone who has been following the news!!!!!
It was always predicted (as it is with many vaccines, though on different timelines), that effectiveness would wane over time and booster shots would be needed. In the context of the article, that is *exactly* what this quote is saying - it is comparing the severity of disease based on **when the person was vaccinated, not on whether or not they were vaccinated.**
That is to say, the article is not saying, “some Israeli data suggests the possibility of an increased risk of severe disease among those who received early vaccination **compared to those who did not receive any vaccine**.” If that were the message, it would suggest that ADE might be an issue. However, the context of the article makes clear that that is **not** the message.
The vaccine's effects, as predicted, wear off over time. This is explicitly what this article is saying. It does not correspond with the model of ADE seen in animal studies! At all. Period. Again, Pinchbeck is writing this as though he is onto a scoop that no one else - certainly no virologists - have thought of.
I want to spend a moment on the perniciousness of this particular quote - “if this turns out to be the case, it corresponds with the ADE model seen in earlier animal studies."
It is pernicious because the first half is correct (there is an increased risk of severe disease among those who received early vaccinations), while the second half is not (it does not correspond with the ADE model seen in earlier animal studies.)
That is some rhetorical sleight-of-hand based on an out-of-context and incorrectly-read quotation. It's clever and it's easy to miss. But do not be fooled.
This all would be frustrating written by anyone, but Pinchbeck is a "professional writer" who should know better. I can only imagine how upset he would be if someone completely and intentionally misrepresented and decontextualized **his** words. It's a shame he is so willing to do it to others when it serves his own ends, whatever they are. (In this case, it seems those ends are justifying his own decision-making, which is apparently more important than giving people accurate information. What a writer!)
Good thing Pinchbeck has Substack, where he can say anything he wants regardless of accuracy or integrity. Enjoy, everyone!
Hi Mike, Thanks for these thoughts and correctives. As I am sure you know, there are many virologists and scientists in the field who are also concerned about ADE as a future consequence of the vaccines. These include Geert Van Der Bosche, Mike Yeadon, Peter McCullough, and Luc Montanier who won a Nobel Prize for his work on HIV. So I am certainly not pretending this is my "scoop" or original idea. Having gotten vaccinated myself, I certainly hope it isn't the case. It seems clear that nobody really knows what is happening right now. There is a lot of concern about increasing rates of hospitalization of vaccinated people in Israel, for example. Nowhere in my piece, did I claim this was an authoritative treatise on the topic. I was exploring my own thought process about it, which included many different kinds of citations. Also I still think my sentence you parse - "it corresponds with" - makes sense. I am not saying it is caused by ADE - the jury on that is still out, but I think the concern is reasonable. Anyway thanks for caring and reading closely, and it is true I do hate to be misrepresented etc. I am happy I got the shot, all things considered, although I am also worried about what we still may discover about it.
