Video: The COVID con is the '76 swine
flu fiasco on steroids

In a social media feed yesterday, I came across a 1979 60 Minutes segment on the propaganda surrounding the 1976 swine flu scare. Many of us had already heard about how the event was reminiscent of today's COVID-19 con, but actually watching the segment drives home how striking the parallels between the two disease scares are. Exaggerations of the bugs' severity, media propaganda and fear-mongering, an effort to vaccinate the whole nation, serious vaccine-coincident side-effects, and an apparent government cover-up of the latter were all elements of the '76 fiasco just as they epitomize what's occurring today.

I almost died from the '76 Swine flu. The Russian flu and Hong Kong flu were really bad too. My SARS2 infection was minor compared to any of those.

Got the swine flu vaccine in basic training in December 1976. Spent the next 3 days in the hospital. I don't trust the science fiction coming from Dr Mouth.

I was 23 in 1976. Swine flu put me in the hospital for a week. My wife, then 25 and a newly- minted RN, got the jab as a requirement to work. As I recall, the vaccine was produced on an egg- based medium. Her dose came from a bad batch. She went into a coma, spent 2 weeks in ICU, and had lingering problems for years. We do have short memories, don't we?

In '76 I was just out of grad school, working at my first engineering job, which involved travel in the US and the Caribbean. I don't even remember much about the swine flu, and I sure didn't take their shot then, fortunately.

The video in the articles is amazing. Just change Swine Flu to Covid19 and they could run them today. I am so glad that they had the cigarette commercials that included the "studies" done by America's finest physicians that endorsed the best cigarettes for healthy smoking. The Government always knows what is best for us. I was pregnant in '76 and did not get the shot. I remember all the hype but my doctor said not to get it. I did know two people who had Guillain-Barré during that time. It was awful. Both were young and recovered after months of paralysis and rehab. I don't believe that it was ever attributed to the flu shot, it was always a "mystery" began the syndrome was so rare. Other than that, everyone went on with life as usual. As it said in the article, coercion is much easier today because of the Big Brother mentality of today. I find that so funny coming from the Hippie era where young people didn't trust the government and balked at all the rules and regulations. I mean 400,000 people attended Woodstock in '69 during another the Hong Kong Flu pandemic. Did we bat an eye? I am amazed that my own kids believe everything Fauci is selling. Like '76, the side effects and dangers of the shot are hidden purposely. Maybe I should show them those cigarette commercials?

Was in a cav regiment in Germany in 76. Got the shot and sure enough the next morning at O'dark thirty they called a USAREUR wide alert. We were up and ready in our vehicles, engines running and about 25% of us including me, thought we were about to first, throw up, and second, die. From then on, I took their damn shot while on active duty, but avoided it at all costs as a civilian.

Alec Baldwin’s startling confession
about Halyna Hutchins’s death

Last night, ABC aired its Alec Baldwin interview regarding Halyna Hutchins’s death. It was already old news that Baldwin claims that, while he cocked the gun, he did not pull the trigger. The surprise was his confession that he feels no guilt whatsoever for what happened because it was everybody else’s fault, not his. (snip) ‘I’m just showing. I go, ‘How ‘bout that? Does that work? You see that? Do you see that?’ ‘And then she goes, ‘Yeah, that’s good.’ In other words, it was Halyna’s fault that the gun was aimed in her direction. Baldwin also claims he had no responsibility for there being a live bullet in the gun.

The COVID Vaccine Failure 7 replies

The CDC narrative on COVID is simply put: (1) the mask is your best defense, (2) COVID is a pandemic of the unvaccinated, and (3) vaccines are our only exit strategy. However, whenever their narrative falls apart, the emphasis shifts, cover-up lies become bolder, and dissenting science is censored. (snip) Though not reported in the media, the “mask is your best defense” isn’t settled science -- the WHO states that: “the use of masks by healthy people in the community setting is not yet supported by high quality scientific evidence.” Despite exclusive pro-mask news, parents are protesting against governors and school boards mandating masking K-12 students.

For almost two years, Anthony Fauci has been reveling in his fame. Starting with his role as COVID spokesman for the Trump administration, the media have fawned on him, something that escalated when it became clear that Fauci was working with them to end the Trump presidency. (snip) Fauci announced on Sunday that he’s the living embodiment of science and sneered when asked about Sen. Ted Cruz’s insistence that the DOJ prosecute him for his lies about funding “gain of function” research in China. Foolish man! Ted Cruz brought a “Cruz missile" of cold, hard facts to the debate.

For most of us, the thanksgiving holiday is a time for fellowship, gatherings, good cheer, feasting, gratitude, and charity. But then there's the Biden White House, where Joe and Kamala put on a public show at a soup kitchen demonstrating they can't stand each other. (snip) So Joe can't stand to put on a nice face with Kamala even in public. Notice that Jill is ordering Kamala around in the scenario, too, not exactly a sign of respect for Harris's office. “Come on, Kamala!” Jill Biden said, pointing the vice president to a tray of green beans that the VP was put in charge of scooping.
Covid Vaccines Are a War on Children 3 replies
Posted by Magnante 11/25/2021 3:35:37 AM Post Reply
The first battles in the Covid War on Children began with the lockdown, forcing kids into isolation, depriving them of education, smothering them with masks, strangling their innate joy and playfulness, and denying them contact with God-given images of human faces. The tyrants won those first battles, vanquishing our kids. Children are committing suicides in numbers never before seen; their health has plummeted with terrifying rates of obesity and diabetes, their intellectual and social development is languishing, and they are suffering intensely. Now with children sicker and weaker than ever before, and with parents desperate for a return to “normal,” the tyrants are moving in for the kill with vaccines.
Tucker Carlson’s interview with Kyle
Rittenhouse is fascinating

Tucker Carlson scored the first interview with Kyle Rittenhouse and I highly recommend it. Before the trial, Rittenhouse was a human Rorschach test: We all saw what we wanted to see. Tucker’s interview revealed a real person: articulate, intelligent, principled, nuanced in his opinions, and even-tempered. (snip) The real young man is...well, real. First, he speaks fluently, without the “like” and “you know” fillers that most young people use. I thought that his smooth, intelligent speech on the witness stand was because he was well-rehearsed (which is what all lawyers should do to prepare their clients for their testimony). It seems, though, that Rittenhouse really just speaks well.

Joe Biden thinks that a normal Midwest family is a group of domestic terrorists, if they peacefully guard their family business against rioters, arsonists, and looters. (snip) Again and again, Darrell Brooks – the alleged driver in the Waukesha parade killings - was caught, processed, and intentionally released. Despite a history that demonstrates his ongoing threat to the community, charges were repeatedly dropped or pled down, sentences were reduced to time served (such as, in one case, just nineteen days), and he was always given work-release, probation, and bail, despite a record of continuing to perpetrate violations whenever he was set free.

As Billy Beane might say, “If the vaccines work, why aren’t they working?”

We’ve all heard the slogan “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people,” and human nature seems to bear out that bit of wisdom. The beginning of the book of Genesis recounts the story of Cain and Abel, two brothers who had a fatal falling out long before guns were invented. The only human remains found in the La Brea Tar Pits of Los Angeles belonged to a young woman who seems to have been a homicide victim 9000 years ago, again, long before guns were invented. Even after the invention of guns, people continue to kill each other with everything from common household implements to exotic poisons to complicated bombs.
Steven Spielberg Omits Spanish Subtitles

Steven Spielberg’s long-awaited remake of Stephen Sondheim’s hit musical, West Side Story, is raising eyebrows after the director decided to release the film without subtitles to help English-speaking audiences follow along with the Spanish dialog. Spielberg and writer Tony Kushner decided to hew toward authenticity for the scenes involving the Puerto Rican characters and have them speak in Spanish in many of their scenes. However, Spielberg also decided to forego subtitles to help strictly English-speaking audiences understand what the characters are saying in the Spanish-only and mixed Spanish-English scenes, The Blast reported. Some Spanish-speaking commenters on Twitter were thrilled that Spielberg was excluding English-speakers from understanding the Spanish scenes.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has warned that American may need to be prepared to receive a vaccination for COVID-19 every year to protect against infection, but insists that holiday travel is still safe for the vaccinated. Fauci said it was too early to tell whether an annual 'booster' will be needed as new variants emerge, as he spoke with CNN's Anderson Cooper during a town hall Wednesday evening. 'Anderson, to be honest with you, we don't know. We really don't. You could say we might have this or we might require this, but we don't know,' Fauci said. 'It may be we get a durability of immunity.

Rittenhouse shot and killed two men and injured a third during unrest following the August 2020 police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

The news of the emerging Omicron variant was greeted with a giant shrug by most of America, and it’s no surprise why. The total failure of our establishment to earn our trust over the last two years of this pandemic made it inevitable that a huge number of people, at best, don’t care, and at worst think it’s a calculated lie designed to prolong this nonsense. The COVIDians are positively turgid over the idea of more mandates, more lockdowns, more masks, and more viro-fascism. So when the CEO of Moderna states that the vaccine might not be as effective against this new mutation as to earlier ones,
