Trump Reveals Plan for the Ethnic Cleansing of Gaza
Well that didn’t take long. President Trump has said he wants to “clean out” Gaza and relocate its population to US client states Egypt and Jordan, which would of course be a textbook case of ethnic cleansing. It would also align perfectly with longstanding Israeli agendas to remove Palestinians from their homeland so that their territory can be seized and settled by Jews.
Speaking with the press on board Air Force One on Saturday, Trump said he talked to Jordan’s King Abdullah II about taking in large numbers of Palestinians from Gaza, and said he plans to speak with Egypt’s president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi about doing the same.
“I’d like Egypt to take people and I’d like Jordan to take people,” Trump told reporters, saying the Gaza Strip is “a real mess” and “literally a demolition site”.
“You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing,” Trump said.
The president said that this new arrangement could be either temporary or long-term, but one would have to be extremely naive to believe that either Israel or Washington plan on emptying out Gaza of its inconvenient population, rebuilding it, and then bringing them all back to shiny new homes. Israel has a very extensive history of grabbing land from Palestinians and then refusing to give it back, which is why there are so-called “refugee camps” for displaced Palestinians that are as old as the state of Israel itself.
“Just five days into his second term as president, Trump left no doubt about what his intentions are for Gaza,” Joe Lauria wrote for Consortium News on Trump’s comments, adding, “He tried to present what he was saying as humanitarian concern, but only the most ill-informed person about Gaza would not see that he is talking about committing the crime of forcibly relocating a population.”
Trump supporters will no doubt defend his stated plans as a compassionate effort to rescue Palestinians from unfortunate circumstances, because Trump supporters are chowder-brained bootlickers who would defend literally anything their president did. But make no mistake: this is the advancement of an agenda to end the existence of the Palestinian people in their historic homeland, and would fulfill the darkest desires of the most depraved political factions in Israel.
Mere days after the Hamas attack on October 7 2023, Israel’s Intelligence Ministry produced a document proposing the removal of Gaza’s population to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. At around the same time, an Israeli think tank called the Misgav Institute for National Security & Zionist Strategy published a paper arguing that “There is at the moment a unique and rare opportunity to evacuate the whole Gaza Strip in coordination with the Egyptian government.”
Since that time both the Israeli government and the Israeli media have gotten much less shy about saying that ethnic cleansing is the plan for Gaza. A few weeks ago multiple far-right Knesset members wrote a letter to Israeli defense minister Israel Katz demanding the “complete cleansing” of northern Gaza using siege warfare and attacks on civilians to drive the population out of the area. In November of last year, former Israeli defense minister Moshe Yaalon stated unequivocally that Israel was indeed in the process of ethnically cleansing Gaza. In October, the Israeli outlet Haaretz published an editorial titled “If It Looks Like Ethnic Cleansing, It Probably Is”.

Says he is asking Jordan and Egypt to take as many as 1.5 million Gazans in what would be an historic act of the crime of ethnic cleansing, reports Joe Lauria.

One narrative Israel and its apologists like to push is that this forced mass displacement would be “voluntary migration”, which is ridiculous nonsense. Obviously if you make a place completely uninhabitable and refuse to rush massive amounts of aid to them so that they can live, you are forcing them to relocate as surely as if you’d forced them at gunpoint. Giving people the choice to relocate or starve is not giving them a choice at all.
Israel’s plan for Gaza once its ethnic cleansing agenda is complete is of course to begin building Jewish settlements there. Last year Israeli forces sparked a minor controversy by sneaking extremist settlement movement leader Daniella Weiss into northern Gaza so that she could scout the land for future use. Back in April a Knesset member named Limor Son Har-Melech stated on Israeli television that there are secret plans within the Israeli government to settle Gaza after military operations are complete. This past November numerous Israeli officials attended an event brazenly titled “Preparing to Resettle Gaza,” just in case you needed it spelled out even more clearly where all this appears to be headed.
Trump’s comments help illuminate what he meant when he gushed about all the wonderful things that could be done with Gaza when speaking to the press the other day.
“Gaza’s interesting, it’s a phenomenal location,” he said on Monday. “On the sea, the best weather. Everything’s good. Some beautiful things can be done with it. It’s very interesting. Some fantastic things can be done with it.”
It remains to be seen if Jordan and Egypt can be bribed or coerced into participating in the empire’s ethnic cleansing plans for Gaza, but either way the last word I would use to describe those plans is “fantastic”.

‘If Anything Happens to Me…’
Elections have consequences and the remarkable return of Donald Trump to the White House has already led to a flurry of major reversals across numerous policy areas. The weekend newspapers revealed that these now included the longstanding Covid origins debate, which had largely disappeared from the headlines over the last year or two.
John Radcliffe, the new incoming CIA director, had long favored the lab-leak hypothesis, claiming that the virus had accidentally escaped from China’s Wuhan lab, and under the influence of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Trump himself had sometimes taken that same position during 2020. According to articles in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, the CIA has now reversed its previous position and declared that it favors that theory. Although that shift was not based upon any new evidence and was only expressed “with low confidence,” leading China-hawks such as Sen. Tom Cotton eagerly seized upon this announcement to demand that “China pay for unleashing a plague upon the world.”
Given our bitter ongoing Cold War with China, the practical impact of the new CIA verdict remains unclear. But coming as it did around the fifth anniversary of that huge global catastrophe, I hope the resulting news stories may refocus public attention on that important issue, which had otherwise vanished from the headlines.
My own longstanding interest in this topic had already been rekindled a few weeks ago by a sudden dramatic event of an entirely different type.
On December 17, 2024, Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, head of Russia’s Chemical, Biological, and Nuclear Defense Troops, was assassinated outside his Moscow home by an explosive device, with Ukraine immediately taking full credit for the killing and the assassin himself caught soon afterwards.
No one could remember the last time such a top-ranking Russian general had died under those circumstances, and given Ukraine’s total dependence upon Western financial and military support, few believed that its government would have undertaken such an extremely provocative operation without at least the tacit approval of its American and NATO paymasters. Indeed, leading British newspapers, closely linked to that country’s intelligence services, quickly celebrated the powerful blow that had been dealt to their Russian adversary.
Kirillov had no direct involvement in the bitter Ukraine fighting, so most assumed that he had been marked for death because of the controversial public positions taken by his organization early in the conflict.
Soon after Russian military forces poured across the border in late February 2022, Russia claimed to have found a network of dozens of biolabs mostly near their border, funded by the Pentagon and working with deadly anthrax and plague. Development of offensive biological weapons was blatantly illegal under international law, and Moscow declared that these posed an obvious threat to Russian society.
I had initially been uncertain whether to believe those accusations, which were so similar to the fraudulent claims of Saddam’s WMDs that we used to justify our own 2003 invasion of Iraq. But a few days later, Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, chief architect of our Ukraine policy, seemed to confirm those facts in her Congressional testimony, with both Tucker Carlson and Glenn Greenwald also noting the huge implications of her inadvertent public admissions.
Kirillov’s name had rarely been mentioned in that dispute, but then a few months later on August 4, 2022, he himself attracted even greater controversy when he held a public press conference to declare that there seemed strong evidence that Covid was an illegal American bioweapon, deliberately released against China.
According to many estimates, the Covid virus had already killed around 20 million people by that date, including more than a million Americans, so Kirillov’s accusations were momentous ones. Yet although his statements were heavily covered by the Russian media, they were almost totally ignored by every mainstream and alternative Western outlet, with my own article being nearly the sole exception. Twitter even launched a campaign of active suppression, taking the unprecedented step of suspending the official account of the Russian Foreign Ministry when it Tweeted out some of Kirillov’s information.
Gen. Kirillov was hardly the only prominent foreign leader to declare that the Covid pandemic was probably the result of an American biowarfare attack, and the same tactics of near-total Western media suppression had been regularly employed to prevent ordinary Americans from hearing those claims and wondering whether they might possibly be true.
For example, in my original April 2020 article I had noted the very early Covid outbreak in Iran, erupting in the Holy City of Qom and heavily infecting that country’s ruling elites.
As the coronavirus gradually began to spread beyond China’s own borders, another development occurred that greatly multiplied my suspicions. Most of these early cases had occurred exactly where one might expect, among the East Asian countries bordering China. But by late February Iran had become the second epicenter of the global outbreak. Even more surprisingly, its political elites had been especially hard-hit, with a full 10% of the entire Iranian parliament soon infected and at least a dozen of its officials and politicians dying of the disease, including some who were quite senior. Indeed, Neocon activists on Twitter began gleefully noting that their hated Iranian enemies were now dropping like flies.
Let us consider the implications of these facts. Across the entire world the only political elites that have yet suffered any significant human losses have been those of Iran, and they died at a very early stage, before significant outbreaks had even occurred almost anywhere else in the world outside China. Thus, we have America assassinating Iran’s top military commander on Jan. 2nd and then just a few weeks later large portions of the Iranian ruling elites became infected by a mysterious and deadly new virus, with many of them soon dying as a consequence. Could any rational individual possibly regard this as a mere coincidence?
This extremely suspicious combination of factors quickly led the top Iranian leadership and its media organs to accuse America of having launched an illegal biowarfare attack against their country, with Iran’s former president even filing a formal complaint with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
But just as in the case of the later Russian charges, almost none of these explosive accusations were ever reported in the American media or that of other Western countries, so that few people in the West became aware of them at the time.
China had obviously been the main victim of the Covid outbreak and some of its government officials soon suggested that the virus had been brought to their country by the Americans participating in Wuhan’s World Military Games. But the Chinese subsequently went silent after ferocious counter-attacks by the Trump Administration, perhaps also recognizing that making such accusations without solid proof would be counter-productive and leave their country looking weak if they failed to forcefully retaliate. By then, China had already successfully controlled the spread of the virus, while Covid had begun sweeping across America, so they may have decided that since our own country was suffering the blowback from its botched biowarfare attack, no further response was necessary.
Those public statements by senior Russian and Iranian officials, heavily reported in their own media, were hardly based upon overwhelming evidence and failed to prove the accusations were true. But it seemed entirely unreasonable that they were almost totally ignored by our entire mainstream and alternative media, which successfully kept nearly the entire American public in a state of ignorance.
Even more unreasonable was the behavior of the numerous journalists and researchers who had been hotly debating the origins of the the Covid virus since the early days of the outbreak.
The official, establishment position promoted by the bulk of the mainstream media had always been that the virus was completely natural and had randomly infected its first human victim in Wuhan during late 2019. Meanwhile, a small but determined group of contrarian researchers and journalists—the so-called “lab-leakers”—strongly maintained that the virus was artificial and had been bioengineered, accidentally leaking out of a lab at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and starting the epidemic in that city.
But although those latter individuals always claimed that they were exploring all possibilities and sources of evidence, none of them ever extended their discussion to include the biowarfare hypothesis, even after leaders in Russia and Iran had publicly proposed it. Instead, the Western media debate remained rigidly restricted to either the dominant narrative of a natural virus or the insurgent scenario of a Chinese lab-leak, with the third possibility always excluded from any discussion.
That bipolar consensus on the origins of Covid—natural virus or lab-leak—still remains in place today, a consensus now reinforced by the sudden assassination of the most prominent public figure who had challenged it.
Kirillov’s death prompted me to revisit these issues from years earlier, and I recapitulated and discussed these in a December article.
- Assassinating a Top Russian General
Ron Unz • The Unz Review • December 23, 2024 • 5,600 Words
With my attention to the topic now reawakened, I began exploring additional developments. Earlier this month I devoted a long article to discussing and summarizing the Covid origins analysis of Jim Haslam, an independent researcher who had written a lengthy series of Substack posts over the last couple of years, then recently collected his material together and published it as a book.
Over the last few years, most of the Covid origins debate had taken place on ephemeral Twitter threads, and Haslam very helpfully gathered together and analyzed a great deal of this accumulated mass of evidence, coming to some striking and persuasive conclusions.
First, he mustered the absolutely overwhelming evidence that the virus was bioengineered rather than natural. As he demonstrated, most of the top virologists had quickly come to that same alarming conclusion soon after they began examining its full genome and discovered its very strange structure, while they apparently only reversed that verdict under heavy pressure rather than as a result of any new evidence or strong analytical arguments.
Haslam’s conclusions were based upon a combination of published accounts, leaked information, and declassified documents, and he summarized his reconstruction in a 2023 post:
- KGA was 60-70% lab origin.
- Bob said the RaTG13 alignment was “stunning,” but Tulane had previously been accused of a lab leak…
- Eddie was 60/40% via email and 80% in private…
- Andrew was “agnostic” but noted the unusual furin cleavage site.
- Mike Farzan, who discovered the SARS1 receptor, was 70/30% lab origin…
- Farrar was 50/50% lab origin but also funded self-spreading vaccine research…
What started as KGA’s lab leak ‘report’ slowly evolved into a natural origins paper. On Feb 4th, Eddie submitted the first draft, which speculated about possible reasons for a natural origin…
By Feb 12th, the draft had evolved from KGA’s lab leak report into Eddie’s natural origin paper. Nature Medicine’s editor replied, “Yes, please!” but they had to edit it down to 2,200 words and 30 references. Little space was left for nuance, and by Feb 25th, Eddie had convinced himself and the others that SARS2 had a natural origin…
The entire scientific enterprise (grants, funding, administrators, publication, patents, medals, Scripps 89.5% overhead) rested on the natural origins idea because otherwise, “it would shatter the scientific edifice top to bottom.”
As Haslam emphasized, part of the “smoking gun” evidence that had quickly captured the attention of those virologists was that a very long stretch of the Covid genome exactly matched that of a natural Chinese virus that had been catalogued by the Wuhan lab, the sole difference being the insertion of a short furin cleavage site, an addition that hugely enhanced the infectivity of the virus. Furthermore, this exact bioengineering proposal had previously been suggested in published research papers and grant requests.
Do the alignment of the spikes at the amino acid level – it’s stunning. Bob Garry email to Fauci
However, Haslam sharply departed from the previous lab-leak consensus on several important points. Nearly all of those past advocates had claimed that Covid had been bioengineered at the Wuhan lab, but Haslam argued that this was extremely implausible. None of the virologists at that facility or anywhere else in China possessed the technical expertise to do such work, nor had any of them previously published research papers indicating interest in that sort of project.
Instead, the primary author of the papers and grant proposals that amounted to a recipe for producing Covid had been Dr. Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina (UNC), one of the world’ foremost viral bioengineers, who had long collaborated with the Wuhan lab and therefore received the genome of the natural Chinese precursor virus so closely matching Covid. So it seemed highly likely that Baric’s lab had produced the Covid virus, without anyone at the Wuhan lab involved in the project, and the behavior of the Chinese virologists strongly supported their claims of innocence.
Haslam also seemed to have cleared up one of the strangest puzzles regarding the pattern of Covid infectivity. A natural virus is almost invariably found in one or more local animal species, whose populations constitute its wildlife reservoirs from which it eventually jumped to infect humans. Yet despite enormous efforts, no such Chinese host species has ever been found.
Meanwhile, without much effort at all, five different North American animal species were found to have been heavily infected, including deer, and particular species of field mice and bats. Yet based upon other factors, we certainly know that Covid was not a natural virus that had previously been circulating in North America, so this anomaly had long puzzled many observers.
Haslam’s skilled scientific detective work uncovered that exactly these species were used as lab animals in Dr. Vincent Munster’s Rocky Mountain Lab (RML) in Montana. This strongly suggested that after its initial bioengineering, the Covid virus had been tested and had its infectivity tuned at that facility, using those particular animals for that purpose.
Prof. Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University had served as the chairman of the Lancet‘s Covid Commission, and in 2021 he had co-authored the earliest scientific paper arguing that Covid was bioengineered rather than natural, then expanded on that highly-controversial claim in numerous public interviews. Haslam’s arguments seemed to have convinced Sachs, who mentioned the Rocky Mountain Lab in his long March and December interviews with Tucker Carlson, which drew many millions of views on Twitter and YouTube.
I felt that Haslam had made a very strong case that Covid had been bioengineered from a natural Chinese precursor virus, probably at Baric’s UNC lab, then tested and tuned at Munster’s RML facility, and I summarized and quoted much of his analysis in my long article.

WSJ Editorial Board Sweeps Itself Into Dustbin of History
In the course of 2024, the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board expressed signs that it is not entirely composed of venal nitwits who are owned by military-industrial, financial, and pharmaceutical interests. Especially encouraging were Opinion pieces enumerating the evidence that SARS-CoV-2 was, in fact, produced in a lab.
However, just a few days ago, the WSJ published a report headlined Trump Order Seeks to Stop Virus Research That Critics Have Linked to Covid in which the two reporters made mind-bogglingly stupid assertions such as:
Some Republicans have blamed gain-of-function work for the Covid-19 pandemic, asserting the virus leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.
Many scientists and public-health officials have said there isn’t any public evidence that an experiment at the Wuhan lab could have created the virus that caused the pandemic.
Where does the WSJ find its reporters? Standing at a random bus stop in downtown Manhattan?
This morning the Editorial Board swept itself into the dustbin of history by publishing an Opinion piece (Why RFK Jr. Is Dangerous to Public Health) that is pure Big Pharma propaganda—repeating the same tired mantras, distortions, and ideological articles of faith we’ve been hearing since 1986, when the National Vaccine Injury Act granted liability protection to vaccine manufacturers.
Instead of addressing RFK, Jr.’s concerns about data transparency and safety when it comes to injecting children with products for which manufacturers bear no liability, the WSJ Editorial Board dismissed them out of hand. Of the Opinion’s many inanities, the most notable is the following:
He says he merely wants to ensure that vaccines are safe and thoroughly studied—who doesn’t?—and that Americans have access to more information. In Mr. Kennedy’s case, this means opening the industry to lawsuits by the trial bar.
Can the editors name a single other industry in the United States that is shielded from lawsuits in the event that its service or product results in injury or death? Would aircraft and car manufacturers maintain stringent quality control standards if they never had to worry about a lawsuit in the event of a crash?
On a Southwest Airlines flight in 2018, a fatigued fan blade broke free from a CFM International jet engine and penetrated a cabin window, causing a catastrophic depressurization and the killing a passenger. Following the disaster, multiple passengers sued Southwest. The company conducted rigorous diagnostic tests on these engines in its fleet to correct the problem. CFM International also launched an investigation, disclosed its findings, and issued service bulletin to CFM56-7B operators.
Contrast this with vaccine manufactures, who simply deny that there is a problem and dismiss anyone who claims there is to be a crazy conspiracy theorist. What is most astonishing about this state of affairs is that it was the vaccine manufacturers themselves who sought liability protection because, by their own admission, it is inevitable that some children will be injured or killed by vaccines.
With their smear of RFK, Jr. this morning, the WSJ Editorial Boards signals that it has—despite all the dreadful revelations of the last five years—remained willfully or unintentionally ignorant of the fact that American public health and public health policy are in a terrible state.
We the People want Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to serve as our HHS Secretary because we want a man who cares about our interests, and not merely those of Pfizer, Dow Jones, the Murdoch family, and their Big Pharma advertisers.

Bitcoin Jesus: The Prosecution of Roger Ver
They call him “Bitcoin Jesus,” though he despises the nickname. His real name is Roger Ver. At any moment, Roger could be arrested for alleged tax evasion and mail fraud. But anyone familiar with his case knows the truth: Roger’s only “crime” was being the very first investor and passionate advocate for Bitcoin. For that, he faces 109 years in federal prison.
As devastating as this is for Roger, this case is less about him and more about you.
Roger is being persecuted as a warning from corrupt lawmakers who aim to set a precedent that could threaten your ability to own, trade, and profit from cryptocurrencies. This isn’t just about Roger’s freedom; it’s about the future of financial sovereignty for us all.
What you’re about to watch is a 20-minute documentary directed by acclaimed filmmaker Mikki Willis. He had this to say about Roger and the case against him:
“When Roger’s story was brought to my attention by my friend Angela McArdle (chair of the Libertarian National Committee), I was already overextended with production commitments. After one Zoom call with Roger, I knew I had to put everything on hold to do whatever I could to help him. I was deeply moved by the quality of his character and his willingness to sacrifice his own freedom to protect the freedoms of all people. Roger’s story is almost too wild to believe! Yet it’s real, and it’s unfolding right now as you read this. The clock is ticking on a man’s fate, his freedom, and your right to control your financial future.”
Please take the time to watch, respond, and share.

BREITBART: Doctors’ ‘Committee’ Opposing RFK Is Bill Gates-Backed Astroturf with Fake Names
A “committee” widely cited in the media as opposing the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services turns out to be a Bill Gates-backed “Astroturf” organization that accepts fake signatories.
The “Committee to Protect Health Care,” cited by NBC News and others, published an open letter declaring that doctors are “appalled by Donald Trump’s reckless decision” to appoint Kennedy. Thousands are said to have signed.
However, there is no verification process for signatories. (Breitbart News was able to sign up as Dr. Donald Duck, OG, of Disney World, FL, specializing in podiatry.) The anti-Kennedy petition simply accepts any signature from anyone.
Others have tried the same experiment, including fitness influencer Jillian Michaels and provocateur Alex Jones.
The Committee to Protect Health Care is a 501(c)4 organization, meaning that it does not have to reveal its donors.
However, a related 501(c)3 charity, The Committee to Protect Health Care Fund, does have to reveal its donors. It is funded in part by the “left-of-center Sixteen Thirty Fund (1630 Fund) and Hopewell Fund.” The Hopewell Fund, in turn, has “hired Arabella Advisors, a leading national philanthropy services firm, to manage its project hosting and fiscal sponsorship services.” The Sixteen Thirty Fund is likewise managed by the Arabella Advisors organization.
Arabella’s donors include “Bill Gates, George Soros, and Mark Zuckerberg,” according to the Capital Research Center: “Each of them has given a tremendous amount of money to (or through) the main network of Arabella Advisors-managed nonprofits and used it to create policy advocacy projects for their favorite pet sociopolitical issues.”
The term “Astroturf” refers to fake grass — as in, a fake grass roots organization, created to mimic public support. No doubt there are doctors who oppose Kennedy — and some who support him — but this widely-cited list is not reliable.

Trump sending Israel thousands of 2,000-pound bombs despite cease-fire
Thanks, Saleh Abdullah.
We already knew that Israel would still get what they needed despite Donald Trump’s order to suspend foreign aid. Israeli lobbying groups are just too powerful and Trump has aligned himself with numerous Zionists.
With that said, the jury is still out on if Trump will support doing a war against Iran on their behalf. I hope such a thing will not materialize. Much of this is probably going to depend on if Bibi is able to maintain his grip on power or not.

Andy Biggs was the only person in the video who definitively said that he cared more about the American people than Israel.
This is just more proof that Congress is bought and paid for by Israel. It shouldn’t be difficult for these people to simply answer that they care more about the American people than a foreign Zionist entity that is committing a genocide. The fact that this was a difficult thing for pretty much every person in this video says all you need to know about who owns Congress.

The Limits of Our Anti-Woke Allies
British evolutionary biologist and prominent atheist Richard Dawkins has regrets about describing himself as a “cultural Christian” last year in an interview. “I imprudently said I was a ‘cultural Christian,’ and I haven’t heard the end of it,” wrote Dawkins in a recent piece for The Spectator.
Though standing by his earlier comments—in which he expressed appreciation for certain cultural elements of the Christian tradition—he quickly added: “but none of that undermines my conviction that what they believe about the nature of reality is nonsense.” Moreover, Dawkins labels the “God-shaped hole” thesis—which posits that absent organized religion, society will descend into moral chaos—“patronizing” and “insulting” to humanity.
In recent years, Dawkins has joined a cadre of other public intellectuals who are causes célèbres for their repudiation of various ideological expressions of the Left. Dawkins, for example, has called trans ideologies “a form of quasi-religious cult, based on faith, not evidence,” which “denies scientific reality,” “mercilessly persecutes heretics,” and “abuses vulnerable children too young to know their own mind.” Jordan Peterson made a name (and a career) for himself by criticizing a Canadian law that prohibited discrimination against gender identity and expression. Evolutionary biologists Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying gained notoriety for resisting woke policies at Evergreen State College. Brown University economist Glenn Loury returned to the Right after decades away, attacking Black Lives Matter and other racial grievance movements.
Yet as much as conservatives (and Christians) may enjoy common cause with such prominent figures, Dawkins’ recent comments are a sobering reminder of the limits of making political alliances with those subscribing to worldviews antithetical to the Faith. Brilliant of a scientist as Dawkins may be, he is no friend to Christianity, calling religious faith “one of the world’s great evils.” And as such Christian thinkers as Ed Feser and David Hart have observed, his criticisms of Christianity are typically little more than puerile, bad-faith caricatures.
Dawkins is perhaps in a class of his own when it comes to his relationship with Christianity. Peterson, in contrast, though not exactly a person of faith, is at least sympathetic to the Bible and Christianity, as evidenced by his recent book applying his now-famous psychoanalytic approach to interpreting the Old Testament. Though his wife recently entered the Church, Peterson told EWTN he was “unlikely” to convert. And having read and reviewed Peterson’s book, I confess I’m not sure he even believes in God, at least not in the theistic sense.
Don’t misunderstand me. I’m very grateful for Peterson leveraging his incredible rhetorical gifts to counter the madness of sexual and racial ideologues who, in their seemingly limitless desire to foster victim narratives and grievances, would remake the world into a dystopian nightmare far worse than the “white supremacist” and “patriarchal” Western civilization they aim to supplant. And as much as Dawkins desires to attack the trans movement for its errant attempts to refashion the very idea of male and female, irreparably damaging thousands if not millions of people in the process, more power to him.
But we should remember that many of our allies originating from the secular, liberal academy embrace principles and premises demonstrably wrong and irreconcilable with our Catholic Faith. Anyone subscribing to materialism (the rejection of any transcendent reality) or promoting freedom of speech or personal self-realization as the highest goods is inhabiting the same philosophical worldview as our shared political enemies. Thus, whatever assistance they may offer in the battle against the evils of transgenderism or racial grievance are of little help in the broader war to re-foreground the highest, most important natural goods (e.g., virtue, friendship) and supernatural goods (e.g., grace, communion with God).
For many such secular personalities, their alliance with us is ad hoc: for them, woke sexual and racial ideologies are bad not because they inhibit man from achieving his telos as one enjoying the imago Dei but because they obstruct the false individualistic and materialist promises of modernity. This is why we hear far less from many of them regarding other issues just as degrading or damaging to the human person, such as abortion, surrogacy, in vitro fertilization, or contraception. All of these, even anti-woke secular intellectuals believe, are integral to the protection and promotion of individual rights and the freedom to live as we best see fit.

A New President Takes Office
As Donald Trumps begin his second term in office, we naturally wonder what to expect. Certainly, we can be glad that the Marxist Kamala Harris did not succeed brain-dead “President” Joe Biden, but how much of an improvement over that sorry wreck will he be? In this week’s column, I’m going to examine his inaugural address to get some clues.
Trump begins on a very optimistic note: “The golden age of America begins right now. From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world. We will be the envy of every nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer. Our sovereignty will be reclaimed. Our safety will be restored. The scales of justice will be rebalanced. The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government will end. And our top priority will be to create a nation that is proud, prosperous, and free. America will soon be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before. I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success. A tide of change is sweeping the country, sunlight is pouring over the entire world, and America has the chance to seize this opportunity like never before.”
The dominant theme here is strength. America must be respected and envied by others, and to achieve this goal we must be stronger than we have ever been before. For Rothbardians, this is wrong. We shouldn’t be in a struggle with other countries to see who is stronger. We should instead mind our own business and have peaceful relations with them. On the other hand, there are some good things in this opening, especially about fighting the “vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department.” Here is where our real struggle should be—with the woke left.
Trump makes another comment that should give us pause. He has unlimited belief in himself, claiming that God has called him to restore America to “greatness.” “Just a few months ago, in a beautiful Pennsylvania field, an assassin’s bullet ripped through my ear. But I felt then and believe even more so now that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again.” Rothbardians don’t want a Leader: the whole point is to reduce the power of the government, not increase it. Ron Paul would never say anything like that.
One of the best things in the speech is that Trump does realize that we need to battle the woke Left. He will eliminate federal job requirements that give preference to minorities and end government support for transgender policies that aim to destroy the traditional family. “This week, I will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life. As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male and female. And I will sign an order to stop our warriors from being subjected to radical political theories and social experiments while on duty. It’s going to end immediately.”
We are also heartened by Trump’s statement that he wants to stay out of foreign wars. “We will measure our success not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we end — and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into. My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier. That’s what I want to be: a peacemaker and a unifier.” But it isn’t our job to impose peace settlements on other countries. It’s not good news that Trump has sent a message to Putin telling him to end the Ukraine war “or else.”
Trump rightly says that we need to combat inflation, reduce government spending and end the Green New Deal. Once more, we should be glad that Trump defeated Kamala Harris. “The inflation crisis was caused by massive overspending and escalating energy prices. With my actions today, we will end the Green New Deal. In other words, you’ll be able to buy the car of your choice.” But the way to end inflation is to stop printing more money, end the Fed, and restore the gold standard.
The way to end inflation is not to impose tariffs and trade restrictions that hurt American consumers. Tariffs raise prices: they aren’t a magic formula that enables America to make other countries pay our taxes. We should allow the free market to operate unhindered and not impose an industrial policy that tries to increase the number of American manufacturing jobs. Trump doesn’t realize this. He says: “We will build automobiles in America again at a rate that nobody could have dreamt possible just a few years ago. I will immediately begin the overhaul of our trade system to protect American workers and families. Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens. President McKinley made our country very rich through tariffs.” To give him credit, though, Trump is right that many so-called “trade agreements” are just government-controlled trade, not genuine free trade, and we should get out of them.
If we want peace, as Trump says he does, we should not try to expand American territory, take over the Panama Canal, and get into a war with China about it. “The United States — I mean, think of this — spent more money than ever spent on a project before and lost 38,000 lives in the building of the Panama Canal. We have been treated very badly from this foolish gift that should have never been made, and Panama’s promise to us has been broken. The purpose of our deal and the spirit of our treaty has been totally violated. American ships are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in any way, shape or form, and that includes the United States Navy. And above all, China is operating the Panama Canal. And we didn’t give it to China. We gave it to Panama, and we’re taking it back.” The principle that we financed a project a century ago and therefore now own it is not valid.
We are also dismayed by Trump’s statement that “today is Martin Luther King Day. In his honor, we will strive together to make his dream a reality. We will make his dream come true.” King was a pro-Communist agitator, and his “dream” was to turn America into a socialist country.
Despite its problems, Trump’s speech has many good points. We should do everything we can to encourage him to act on these and to urge him to support the free market and a non-interventionist foreign policy.
Ambition is the lifeblood of a great nation, and, right now, our nation is more ambitious than any other. There’s no nation like our nation.

The Constitution Has Gone AWOL: From Presidential Power Grabs to Martial Law
“Rule by indefinite emergency edict risks leaving all of us with a shell of a democracy and civil liberties just as hollow.”—Justice Neil Gorsuch
That didn’t take long.
Within days of Donald Trump’s second term, the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights disappeared from the White House’s website.
While the Trump Administration insists the removal of these foundational documents will eventually be restored to the site, the timing and symbolism of their removal is hard to ignore. Especially in light of the flurry of executive orders issued by President Trump as a means of bypassing the very rule of law those documents were intended to ensure.
Already, Trump has unilaterally declared two national states of emergency, announced his intention to disregard the 14th Amendment’s assurance of birthright citizenship, established two new government agencies, and pushed for an expansion of the death penalty.
So much for the Founders’ efforts to guard against this kind of concentrated, absolute power by establishing a system of checks of balances that separate and shares power between three co-equal branches to ensure that no single authority is entrusted with all the powers of government.
Mind you, Trump is not unique in his use of executive orders to bypass Congress and unilaterally impose his will upon the nation, but it is indicative of the fact that he, like his predecessors, will continue to serve as an imperial president, using executive orders, decrees, memorandums, proclamations, national security directives and legislative signing statements to operate above the law and beyond the reach of the Constitution.
America, meet your latest dictator-in-chief.
Be warned: what is happening right now is political theater. Allow yourself to be distracted by it, and you will miss the real power play afoot: the expansion of unaccountable presidential power that exposes us to constitutional peril.
The Deep State is counting on us to be distracted.
Don’t fall for it.
We must be particularly leery when political promises to fix everything that is wrong with the nation are dependent on presidential power grabs and manufactured crises.
That’s the oldest trick in the book.
Whether the ends justify the means is never the point.
It is especially when the ends seem to justify the means that one must tread with particular caution.
That’s how we landed in this mess in the first place.
Power-hungry and lawless, the government has weaponized one national crisis after another in order to expand its powers and justify all manner of government tyranny in the so-called name of national security.
As a result, we have become a nation in a permanent state of emergency.
That indefinite state of crisis has remained constant, no matter which party has controlled Congress and the White House.
The seeds of this present madness were sown almost two decades ago when George W. Bush stealthily issued two presidential directives that granted the president the power to unilaterally declare a national emergency, which is loosely defined as “any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions.”
Comprising the country’s Continuity of Government (COG) plan, these directives (National Security Presidential Directive 51 and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 20) provide a skeletal outline of the actions the president will take in the event of a “national emergency.”
Just what sort of actions the president will take once he declares a national emergency can barely be discerned from the barebones directives. However, one thing is clear: in the event of a national emergency, the COG directives give unchecked executive, legislative and judicial power to the president.
It doesn’t even matter what the nature of the crisis might be: civil unrest, the national emergencies, “unforeseen economic collapse, loss of functioning political and legal order, purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency, pervasive public health emergencies, and catastrophic natural and human disasters.”
They have all become fair game to a government that continues to quietly assemble, test and deploy emergency powers a long laundry list of terrifying powers that override the Constitution and can be activated at a moment’s notice.
We’re talking about lockdown powers (at both the federal and state level): the ability to suspend the Constitution, indefinitely detain American citizens, bypass the courts, quarantine whole communities or segments of the population, override the First Amendment by outlawing religious gatherings and assemblies of more than a few people, shut down entire industries and manipulate the economy, muzzle dissidents, “stop and seize any plane, train or automobile to stymie the spread of contagious disease,” reshape financial markets, create a digital currency (and thus further restrict the use of cash), determine who should live or die.
While these are powers the police state has been working to make permanent, they barely scratch the surface of the far-reaching powers the government has unilaterally claimed for itself without any pretense of being reined in or restricted in its power grabs by Congress, the courts or the citizenry.
As David C. Unger, observes in The Emergency State: America’s Pursuit of Absolute Security at All Costs:
“For seven decades we have been yielding our most basic liberties to a secretive, unaccountable emergency state – a vast but increasingly misdirected complex of national security institutions, reflexes, and beliefs that so define our present world that we forget that there was ever a different America. … Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness have given way to permanent crisis management: to policing the planet and fighting preventative wars of ideological containment, usually on terrain chosen by, and favorable to, our enemies. Limited government and constitutional accountability have been shouldered aside by the kind of imperial presidency our constitutional system was explicitly designed to prevent.”
This is all happening according to schedule.
The civil unrest, the national emergencies, “unforeseen economic collapse, loss of functioning political and legal order, purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency, pervasive public health emergencies, and catastrophic natural and human disasters,” the government’s reliance on the armed forces to solve domestic political and social problems, the implicit declaration of martial law packaged as a well-meaning and overriding concern for the nation’s security: the powers-that-be have been planning and preparing for such a crisis for years now.
As we have witnessed in recent years, that national emergency can take any form, can be manipulated for any purpose and can be used to justify any end goal—all on the say so of the president.
The emergency powers that we know about which presidents might claim during such states of emergency are vast, ranging from imposing martial law and suspending habeas corpus to shutting down all forms of communications, including implementing an internet kill switch, and restricting travel.
Yet according to documents obtained by the Brennan Center, there may be many more secret powers that presidents may institute in times of so-called crisis without oversight from Congress, the courts, or the public.
Remember, these powers do not expire at the end of a president’s term. They remain on the books, just waiting to be used or abused by the next political demagogue.
So, too, every action taken by the current occupant of the White House and his predecessors to weaken the system of checks and balances, sidestep the rule of law, and expand the power of the executive branch of government makes us that much more vulnerable to those who would abuse those powers in the future.
Although the Constitution invests the President with very specific, limited powers, in recent years, American presidents (Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc.) have claimed the power to completely and almost unilaterally alter the landscape of this country for good or for ill.
The Executive Branch’s willingness to circumvent the Constitution by leaning heavily on the president’s so-called emergency powers constitutes a gross perversion of what limited power the Constitution affords the president.
As law professor William P. Marshall explains, “every extraordinary use of power by one President expands the availability of executive branch power for use by future Presidents.” Moreover, it doesn’t even matter whether other presidents have chosen not to take advantage of any particular power, because “it is a President’s action in using power, rather than forsaking its use, that has the precedential significance.”
In other words, each successive president continues to add to his office’s list of extraordinary orders and directives, expanding the reach and power of the presidency and granting him- or herself near dictatorial powers.
All of the imperial powers amassed by Obama, Bush, Trump, Biden and now Trump again—to kill American citizens without due process, to detain suspects (including American citizens) indefinitely, to strip Americans of their citizenship rights, to carry out mass surveillance on Americans without probable cause, to wage wars without congressional authorization, to suspend laws during wartime, to disregard laws with which he might disagree, to conduct secret wars and convene secret courts, to sanction torture, to sidestep the legislatures and courts with executive orders and signing statements, to direct the military to operate beyond the reach of the law, to establish a standing army on American soil, to operate a shadow government, to declare national emergencies for any manipulated reason, and to act as a dictator and a tyrant, above the law and beyond any real accountability—have become a permanent part of the president’s toolbox of terror.
This is what you might call a stealthy, creeping, silent, slow-motion coup d’état.
As an investigative report by the Brennan Center explains:
“There are currently 41 declared national emergencies, most of which have been in place for more than a decade… Some of the emergency powers Congress has made available to the president are so breathtaking in their vastness that they would make an autocrat do a spit take. Presidents can use emergency declarations to shut down communications infrastructure, freeze private assets without judicial process, control domestic transportation, or even suspend the prohibition on government testing of chemical and biological agents on unwitting human subjects.”
We must recalibrate the balance of power.
For starters, Congress should put an end to the use of presidential executive orders, decrees, memorandums, proclamations, national security directives and legislative signing statements as a means of getting around Congress and the courts.
At a minimum, as The Washington Post suggests, “all emergency declarations [s]hould expire automatically after three or six months, whereupon Congress would need to vote upon any proposed extension. It is time for both parties to recognize that governing via endless crises — even when they are employed to implement broadly popular policies that win plaudits from key political constituencies — subverts our system of constitutional government.”
We’ve got to start making both the president and the police state play by the rules of the Constitution.
As Justice Gorsuch recognized:
“Fear and the desire for safety are powerful forces. They can lead to a clamor for action—almost any action—as long as someone does something to address a perceived threat. A leader or an expert who claims he can fix everything, if only we do exactly as he says, can prove an irresistible force. We do not need to confront a bayonet, we need only a nudge, before we willingly abandon the nicety of requiring laws to be adopted by our legislative representatives and accept rule by decree. Along the way, we will accede to the loss of many cherished civil liberties—the right to worship freely, to debate public policy without censorship, to gather with friends and family, or simply to leave our homes. We may even cheer on those who ask us to disregard our normal lawmaking processes and forfeit our personal freedoms. Of course, this is no new story. Even the ancients warned that democracies can degenerate toward autocracy in the face of fear.”
If we continue down this road, there can be no surprise about what awaits us at the end.
After all, it is a tale that has been told time and again throughout history.
For example, over 90 years ago, the citizens of another democratic world power elected a leader who promised to protect them from all dangers. In return for this protection, and under the auspice of fighting terrorism, he was given absolute power.
This leader went to great lengths to make his rise to power appear both legal and necessary, masterfully manipulating much of the citizenry and their government leaders.
Unnerved by threats of domestic terrorism and foreign invaders, the people had little idea that the domestic turmoil of the times—such as street rioting and the fear of Communism taking over the country—was staged by the leader in an effort to create fear and later capitalize on it. In the ensuing months, this charismatic leader ushered in a series of legislative measures that suspended civil liberties and habeas corpus rights and empowered him as a dictator.
On March 23, 1933, the nation’s legislative body passed the Enabling Act, formally referred to as the “Law to Remedy the Distress of the People and the Nation,” which appeared benign and allowed the leader to pass laws by decree in times of emergency.
What it succeeded in doing, however, was ensuring that the leader became a law unto himself.
The leader’s name was Adolf Hitler.
The rest, as they say, is history. Yet as I point out in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, history has a way of repeating itself.
Hitler’s rise to power should serve as a stark lesson to always be leery of granting any government leader sweeping powers.

Government Means Perpetual Crisis
If we look around, then, at the crucial problem areas of our society—the areas of crisis and failure—we find in each and every case a “red thread” marking and uniting them all: the thread of government. In every one of these cases, government either has totally run or heavily influenced the activity. — Murray N. Rothbard, For a New Liberty [emphasis mine]
As I write this wildfires are still burning around Los Angeles, and social media posts are aflame about the $770 payments government is offering to victims of the disaster. Further igniting their rage is the fact that billions of their former dollars continue to flow into contractors pockets to fight wars almost anywhere except here. Adding to this was the discovery that fire hydrants had no water, the LA fire department had ignored “extraordinary warnings of life-threatening winds,” and the reservoir in Pacific Palisades was dry.
And where was LA mayor Karen Bass? Attending a cocktail party in Ghana when the Palisades fire erupted.
Since government collects its revenue coercively, either through direct taxation or monetary inflation, citizens have little recourse for protest beyond what they are already doing. The standard practice of marching with protest signs or disruptive sit-ins might offer some psychological relief but not much else. Government doesn’t take orders from citizens unless they’re closely connected in some nefarious way, such as through blackmail, cronyism, or lucrative campaign donations.
Anger often drives people to the polls periodically but government controls those as well. Not by coincidence is “none of the above” ever found on the ballot.
The good news is government, as it exists, with its Ponzi scheme fiscal gap of some $200 trillion in unfunded liabilities and its insatiable appetite for meddling where the public can’t see it, will likely spend itself into oblivion, while exponentially-rising technology will be available to create a better life for the rest of us.
The lust for intervention
“God is power,” wrote George Orwell in 1984, and to interventionists of all persuasions for whom economic law is flexible and uncaring, “God” finds its realization in the State. As Mises wrote in Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis,
In order to promote their plans [interventionists] flatly denied that there is any such thing as economic law. In their opinion governments are free to achieve all they aim at without being restrained by an inexorable regularity in the sequence of economic phenomena. Like the German socialist Ferdinand Lassalle, they maintain that the State is God.
Capitalism, socialism’s opposite, is a socio-economic system based on an individual’s right to life, including property rights, characterized by private ownership of the means of production, voluntary exchange, and unhampered markets governed by profit and loss. It is a system that allows people to dispose of what they earn in a manner of their choosing. It also forbids any legal claim on the public for one’s losses, since that would violate their rights.
Capitalism rightly understood is laissez-faire capitalism, a hands-off approach of government to the market. There are no government bailouts of too-big-to-fails under laissez-faire. Charity would replace welfare, and government ideally would be non-coercive, admittedly still a novel concept for most, but one deserving close attention. (See Robert P. Murphy’s Chaos Theory for starters.)
But for those who oppose it capitalism means profit-seeking by any means necessary, and to help ensure a profit firms partner with government and media allies to curtail competition and censor, ridicule or attack criticism. Recall the hysterical reaction of legacy media and government authorities to ivermectin for treating Covid-19 when numerous clinical trials demonstrated its safety and effectiveness. Whose interests were being protected then?
More government, less capitalism
A recent Joe Rogan interview with Mel Gibson on X, in which three of Gibson’s friends found ivermectin, fenbendazole, and methylene blue apparently helpful for treating cancer, ends with them wondering why this finding is not well-known. They blame the profit motive, apparently forgetting that biotech firms have close ties with government.
We hear “climate change” imposed as the reason for almost any crisis or problem, but capitalism, because renewable energy is not yet profitable, is blamed for climate change. Never mind that climate science, as with any science, is never settled, and that what is called “climate change” is a political narrative that stands for more government and less CO2, and that the name it replaced, “global warming,” was an open invitation for any high schooler to refute.
Since humans exhale, globalists and others who claim to be benefactors of humanity have made it clear that prosperity for all requires that “all” be reduced significantly first. Thus, a 2023 Scientific American article argues that Population Decline Will Change the World for the Better. The World Economic Forum, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the United Nations Population Fund, and The Club of Rome — all well-funded and all want fewer people around.
The UN’s 2030 agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which seeks to “to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all,” originally lacked any strategy about population control. But according to a Population Matters 2019 report, “if this vision is to have any chance of materializing governments must now add an 18th goal: ‘Dampen population growth.’”
Rather than speculate about how a government might “dampen” some portion of its citizens in an undisclosed manner, the report insists it’s referring to “voluntary, rights-based family planning,” which proved successful in Bangladesh from 1977-1996 when married women of reproductive age were given free contraceptives. Cynics who say anyone advocating for population reduction should be the first to volunteer, clearly are not on-board with this glorious crusade.
A cynic might also say the Pfizer Covid vaccine has done a notable job of reducing population numbers, especially among the elderly and young.
Conclusion
In his popular The Affluent Society, John Kenneth Galbraith agreed with Rothbard that government was “the focus of our social failure” — but advocated instead for more government spending. I suggest we try a different approach: Protect ourselves as best we can until government enters irrelevance then let the free market breathe.

They Put Stink on Real Cures,… We Found Out!
The pardon of Dr. Fauci says it all! As perpetrator of bioweapon research and psychological warfare, his 50 years of medical fraud and the extermination of millions may never be exposed in a court of law. The diminutive doctor of death promoted lockdowns, ventilators and remdesivir and said, “Wait for the vaxxxine.” Meanwhile, alternative opinions saved lives with ivermectin, HCQ, iodine, nebulized H2O2 and NAC, Vitamin C and even nicotine patches which block spike proteins from attaching to ACE 2 receptors. Once the mRNA vaxxx became widely available, deaths really skyrocketed!
Saving Fauci’s rotten hide was not even the point! Protecting the other bad actors and a most evil government plot IS!
Whether or not the covid19 “can of worms” has been sealed-shut,… remains to be seen.
“Doubt is the devil!”
Doubt destroys confidence and the ability to act.
Doubt confers weakness on captive minds as it compromises immune systems.
Authoritative pronouncements from the likes of our “Modern Mengeles” and their fake medical “The-Science” have deceived the world by creating false causation and profitable medications for symptomatic effects.
First causes are found in nutrition, toxicity, emotional states and lifestyle choices, not in the lack of some downstream drug as deceptive marketeers would have you believe.
Their main tools are sowing doubt on the competition,…err common sense, inexpensive natural treatments and actually established basic Science,…along with TeeVee doctors, repetitive ads featuring happy pharmaceutical users and small-print admissions of horrible but “rare” side effects.
Real cause-oriented cures have only one “side effect”; healing!
“They know better”
They dismiss natural immunity and tell you you need vaxxxines.
They say steak and butter will give ya a heart attack.
They push testing to look for things just to scare ya.
They disperse disinformation to steal your minds.
They created the darkness of your captivity.
You built their mansions, but never caught-on to the game.
Vitamin C
AKA; ascorbic acid and its ascorbates like sodium ascorbate used in IV applications and in rapidly available oral/liquid megadose-forms is an electron boost to a biological system that runs on electricity. As such, Vitamin C is an antioxidant, anti inflammatory, anti biotic, antiviral, antitoxin; antiscorbutic ( “anti-scurvy”). See here.
Dosages are purely individual depending on one’s level of inflammation/oxidative stress,…the quantity needed to restore a deficit in systemic body voltage.
1 gram/day may be sufficient for the young and healthy, buuut dosages for older adults and chronically afflicted may be in the range of 3-10 GRAMS up to four times a day,…and in acute situations like pneumonia, sepsis or encephalitis; IV infusions of 50-150 GRAMS per session!!!
Megadose Vitamin C was successfully used at Chernobyl and Fukushima, and should be employed in super toxic Los Angeles.
Linus Pauling and Vitamin C were “skunked” over 50 yrs ago. Medical standards still do not permit its use in hospitals, though many independent clinics rely on Vitamin C infusions.
Appropriate doses can prevent/treat gingivitis, arthritis and heart/artery disease, address colds/flu and help remove root-cause heavy metal burdens.
The truth about Vitamin C alone would cost the medical system billions/yr!
Depression, PTSD, Concussive Brain injury and At Least 130,000 Veteran Suicides.
Thanks for your service; Now Die!
Military personnel returning from making a mess of Mesopotamia find themselves depressed, homeless and unable to return to normal life..unlike Post WW2 veterans who found jobs, bought houses, attended college and started families. Though many were horribly injured in both wars, those complaining of “psychological” problems were routinely given SSRI antidepressants. With brains overloaded with serotonin, depressions worsened and stated suicidal side effects began claiming a Vet every hour, 24-7-365 for over 20 yrs…do the math. I’d call that extreme medical malpractice!
They suffered from mandatory vaccinations, performance enhancing drugs, burn pits, depleted uranium munitions and cumulative concussion due to constant explosions. A million more equally-exposed war veterans should take note.
They were not detoxed, given nutritional supplements or hyperbaric oxygen therapies/HBOT.
Many also needed a return from destructive behaviors to “nurturing activities” like gardening and dog training as well as group recreation and talk therapies.
Is that any way to treat our heroes, so damaged by an elective invasion based on false propaganda?
My many attempts to inform Veteran-Aid groups fell on deaf ears?
Cancer?
Cancers can be defined as “Acidic Hypoxia”; a metabolic disease. So they try to kill ’em with radiation, poison and surgery,… instead of neutralizing acidity ( a low voltage/low energy condition ) by restoring robust circulation and oxygen penetration.
Cancers arise from any number of mitochondrial insults where normal cells’ mitochondrial ATP-electron production falters, HIF1 /Hypoxic Induction Factor kicks in causing down-regulation of aerobic e- energy production into low output anaerobic fermentation as a survival strategy,…HIF1 also generates capillary formation to increase blood supply to the tumor, protected by the formation of an acid mantle surrounding it to wall-out oxygen and confer immortality.
Contributing causes are many; Vitamin C deficiency promotes HIF1, toxins/metals/bacterial endotoxins/yeast infections/parasites, radiation, poor circulation, hormone imbalance, sedentary lifestyles, high sugar and high polyunsaturated fat diets of processed foods,… All of which hinder metabolic output and steal electron energy, increase acidity, reduce oxygen delivery and feed fermentative metabolism.
How do I know? I reversed breast cancer in my 6yr old dog, twice! The first time I noticed her breast turn black, I started giving her MMS/sodium chlorite for several days; the breast returned to a healthy pink as the chlorite blasted oxygen into the area and oxidized the acidic mantle.
A few months later the next breast in line turned black. This time I injected a saturated baking soda solution into and around the blackened gland. Within a week it turned pink and the dog lived another healthy 7 years! It worked!
The baking soda idea came from Dr. Tulio Simoncini, an Italian physician who advocated the use of baking soda to treat cancers, he blamed on fungi. Though fungus and yeasts thrive in low oxygen/acidic environs, simply alkalizing the area would allow oxygen and normal aerobic metabolism to return. Since a pH of 7.45 is indicative of .45 volts, raising alkalinity also raises ORP/Oxidation-Reduction Potential; system voltage. ( Bicarbonate, magnesium and potassium are pH buffers in the bloodstream. )
Though breast cancer is common in intact unbred female dogs, there is likely a hormonal cause. Other cancers may be attributed to systemic parasites where anti-parasitics like “forbidden” ivermectin and fenbendazole have proven effective.
I can only conclude that healthy metabolic production, detoxification of metals/organics, high intake of Vitamin C and other electron-donating antioxidants.
sulfur compounds like MSM and NAC which promote Vitamin D and glutathione production speed circulation in general and oppose angiogenesis/capillary formation,…all tend to eliminate susceptibility to cancerous formation.
Though cancers are the apex expression of acidic hypoxia, this cellular suffocation promotes many “lesser” diseases. Another app for HBOT, fasting and time restricted eating.
*** My Shotgun Pantry;
I prefer a comprehensive “shotgun” approach to healing, a “personal protocol” bringing every voltage-raising trick into play,…rather than relying on a “silver-bullet” substance or drug.
Results can be expected in a few days for conditions like depression and a positive healing attitude kick in…Detoxification and restoration of skin, joints and vessels can take weeks or months megadosing Vitamin C and collagen sources.
Along with ABCDEK Vitamins I keep kilos of pure Vitamin C crystals and pounds of Arm&Hammer baking soda on hand.
I have food grade hydrogen peroxide in the freezer, ready to be diluted to 3% for use in a nebulizer and NAC capsules to be dissolved in water for nebulization or to be taken orally.
I have veterinary ivermectin for my dog, and I can use it too, transdermally on belly skin.
Pure oregano oil ( oreganoworld.com ) to be used for infections and clearing the gut of bad bacteria and yeast buildup.
Magnesium, manganese, multi-purpose Lugol’s iodine and of course seasalt for all trace minerals as well as Chlorella, charcoal and clays to chelate heavy metals from the gut.
Proteolytic enzymes clear fibrin scars and spike proteins so I consume pineapple/papaya and nattokinase/lumbrokinase.
I built a sauna from local cedar and raise grassfed beef, keep bee hives, grow dozens of varieties of citrus, berries, grapes, persimmons, chestnuts, pecans, gather wild mushrooms and grow organic vegetables. Hunting and fishing provide the cleanest fats & proteins,… when lucky.
4 Common Denominators;
All the chronic, infectious and communicable diseases are the result of “Low System Voltage!” One should be able to maintain vigorous health if he investigates and addresses a short list of root causes;
1) Nutrition; A varied mix of meats/fish/fowl/eggs/raw dairy,… bone broths and stews,….low(er) glycemic carbs; potatoes/rice/organic wheat/corn grits..all scratch-cooked, plus vegetables, fruits, berries and mushrooms.
Avoid liquid vegetable/seed oils in favor of saturated animal fats,… avoid high fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners/ replace with honey, maple syrup and raw sugar.
2) Toxins; Have a hair metal/mineral analysis and know your body’s content of metals in order to focus detoxification efforts and balance mineral levels. These burdens and deficiencies will steal body charge! Address oral infections, water purity, moldy/chemically polluted air.
3) Lifestyle Habits; Seek sunshine, fresh air, recreation and physical activity. Sedentary living, artificial light, screens and indoor air are negatory. Rest is also important and deep sleep essential.
4) Emotional States; Fear/anger/anxiety are acidic voltage bandits and cripple normal bio-function. These are the bitter fruits of ego. Learn to recognize defensive, selfish and lazy behaviors. Once one is aware of ego-related psychological hazards and turns to an attitude of unconditional love, compassion for all life and states of gratitude and happiness,….. his life, immune health, recognition of his spirit-essence and higher consciousness can evolve unhindered.

Preventive Maintenance vs. Catastrophic Breakdown
Isn’t it careless not to change oil, check tire pressure or coolant levels in a car? Get stuck a few times and one learns to pay attention to the owner’s manual.
Yet we have no conclusive maintenance manual for the preservation of personal health?
Mechanics and doctors make their living off breakdowns, not oil changes or inexpensive preventive measures. What if Ford printed inaccurate maintenance schedules? What if common sense disease prevention was confused and hidden by the healthcare monopoly? Ford couldn’t, but our legally protected medical mafia has and continues to wreck the health of Americans!
You do not want to see your car towed-off behind a wrecker,…just like you never want to be hauled off in an ambulance.
Don’t be a victim! I can only provide a limited outline for savvy individuals to protect their health. It is up to you to study the nutritional value of foods, begin to understand the invisible nature of bio-electricity and pH and cut through all the Latinesque synonyms that put the confusion in unnecessary medical complexity.
I can’t stress this enough; Create your own Health Maintenance Manual! Take charge of your own biological vehicle!
All disease begins with inflammation, synonymous with oxidative theft of e-/ATP electron energy and the degradation of cell function.
Drugs generally attack only symptoms of this tap-root by obstructing downstream enzyme and hormonal influences.
Invisible “germs” are usually opportunistic, proliferating where conditions are favorable and immune defenses conflicted.
Billions Served!
With our huge death tolls from heart disease, cancers, pneumonia, sepsis, laboratory created covid 19 and mRNA vaxxxines, and enormous numbers of Veteran suicides; one might become suspicious of our medical death cult!
Is it a population control reset agenda or sheer greed or both that drive this homicidal mania?
Some doctors may realize the faults of their profession.
Trained by pharma-supported universities into an ultra expensive healthcare system; their hands are tied by hospitals, medical boards and insurers…unless they are bold enough to hang-out their own shingles on their own (uninsured) alternative clinics.
The government admits it censors contrary opinion on vaxxxines and harmful drugs “so as to dampen suspicion and reduce non-compliance with self-serving “standards of practice.”
We have been trapped and virtually made dependent on screens and profitable short-cut technologies to the point that one’s health and longevity can only be insured by DIY prevention and living “off-tech” through contrarian thought and action.
AI is being touted as a tool to “cure cancer.” Oracle’s artificial “idiot” Larry Ellison wants to create a genetic test for cancers and an mRNA vaxxxine?
Sorry Larry, cancers are not genetic! Cancers are a metabolic disease!
Note; Please print and forward this post to family members, friends and physicians you may know…and refer them to my substack archive, “Forbidden Healing.”
Internet information evaporates quickly so grab these compilations of actionable facts I have distilled over the decades through study of basic sciences, cell function, personal observation, objective studies, successful experimentation and intuitive synthesis.
Self-healing is doable. Search natural cures for any condition and a range of ideas. Orthomolecular.org and Earthclinic are solid resources. Also search alternative/holistic clinics and ACAM.org physician finder for more information, lists of available treatments and proximity should the need arise.
