Excerpts from "A new study finds that flu vaccines have negative efficacy, meaning the risk of getting flu is higher after vaccination - The Expose.pdf"
•
A study conducted at Cleveland Clinic involving over 51,000 employees found a statistically significant increased risk of testing positive for influenza for vaccinated individuals. The outcome for influenza-vaccinated employees was a statistically significant 26.9% increased risk compared with employees who did not receive the seasonal vaccine1 . By the end of the study, 82.1% of the study cohort had received an influenza vaccine2 .
•
Experts, including Dr. Meryl Nass, suggested that the study's results were not surprising. Experts, including Dr. Meryl Nass, suggest that the results are not surprising3 . Dr. Meryl Nass said the results weren’t surprising4 .
•
The lack of efficacy testing for flu vaccines before they are used on the public is suggested as a reason for these results. Experts, including Dr. Meryl Nass, suggest that the results are not surprising due to the lack of efficacy testing for flu vaccines before they are used on the public3 . Flu shots are not basic common sense5 .
•
The study's design was described as rigorous, robust, and transparent, despite not being peer-reviewed at the time of the article. Whilst the study has not yet been peer-reviewed, the design has been described as rigorous, robust and transparent4 .
•
Limitations of the study include the specific population cohort (working age, otherwise healthy) and the focus on a single vaccine product. Limitations to the study include the population cohort being working age and otherwise healthy (no children or elderly included)4 . Vaccine failure being specific to a single product given to most of the vaccinated cohort was also a limitation4 .
•
The study did not examine the risk of severe illness, hospitalisation, or death, which were considered unlikely outcomes in the otherwise healthy cohort. the study design not examining risk for severe illness, hospitalisation or death (which are unlikely to be observed in an otherwise healthy cohort)4 .
Excerpts from "Archbishop Viganò Bergoglio Was Installed by Globalists To Further the Masonic Revolution - LewRockwell.pdf"_
•
Archbishop Viganò claims Pope Francis (Bergoglio) was installed by globalists as part of a "global coup" to advance a "Masonic Revolution". To carry out this “global coup” the lobby needed the collaboration of “corrupt government officials … politicians, doctors, judges and teachers”6 .
•
Viganò contends that Pope Benedict XVI was opposed to the globalist plan and would not have legitimized ideologies such as LGBTQ ideology, gender ideology, and certain WHO "pseudo-health follies". Benedict XVI was clearly opposed to the globalist plan and would never have derogated from these principles by legitimizing the LGBTQ ideology, gender ideology, the pseudo-health follies of the WHO in matters of genetic6 .
•
Bergoglio is alleged to have surrounded himself with corrupt individuals and protected prelates accused of serious crimes. Bergoglio surrounded himself with corrupt and blackmailable characters, whom he used casually in order to obtain what he intended7 . He protected and covered up investigations into prelates accused of serious crimes7 .
•
He is also accused of promoting American prelates connected to former Cardinal McCarrick to key positions in the Vatican and major American dioceses. He promoted the entire chain of American prelates, corrupt and ultra-progressive, all connected to the former Cardinal McCarrick, who today occupy the main American dioceses and key positions in the Vatican7 .
•
Viganò has described statements made by Francis to journalist Eugenio Scalfari as "heretical ravings". the archbishop was asked by his Italian interviewers to explain why, on the day Francis died, Viganò described statements Francis made to atheist journalist Eugenio Scalfari as “heretical ravings.”8 .
•
Archbishop Viganò lists specific government leaders he believes are acting "under order of the Davos Forum" as part of this globalist agenda. naming such figures as Emmanuel Macron in France; Boris Johnson and Sir Keith Starmer in the United Kingdom; Justin Trudeau in Canada; the Clintons, Barack Obama; and Joe Biden in the U.S.; and Ursula von der Leyen in the European Union, among others8 .
Excerpts from "Don Bell Reports Proofs of a Conspiracy to Build a Total, Managed Global Society (1972) - The Expose.pdf"_
•
Don Bell Reports aimed to provide evidence of a conspiracy to establish a new global social, political, and economic order. “It is our intention to prove, out of their own mouths, that there is a conspiracy to build a new social, political and economic world order”9 ....
•
The purpose of this alleged conspiracy is to concentrate global wealth and resources in the hands of an oligarchy of international financiers and industrialists. “the purpose of that conspiracy is to concentrate the wealth, the natural resources, the production, distribution, and sale of the world’s goods, in the hands of a favored oligarchy of international financiers and industrialists”9 ....
•
The report identifies the Council on Foreign Relations as central to this plan, which is claimed to be financed by the Rockefeller family and aimed at imposing a one-world Socialist government. The report stated that there is a long-term conspiracy financed by the Rockefeller family and programmed through the Council on Foreign Relations, with the goal of imposing a one-world Socialist government12 .... The Council on Foreign Relations is, of course, a “combination of men for a single end,” which makes of it a conspiracy10 .
•
Sophisticated governance methods like the Planning-Programming-Budgeting System (PPBS) are described as tools used by self-appointed leaders to control humanity's future evolution. According to Bell’s report, these planners have been working on a PPBS operational model for public schools to produce the “new man” trained to fit into the total, managed, global society14 .
•
Concerns are raised about the potential outcomes of a managed global society, including the erosion of national identities and the suppression of individual rights. He raised concerns about the erosion of national identities and the implications for democratic governance15 . Bell said that a global authority would prioritise efficiency and control over individual rights and freedoms15 ....
•
Roy Ash, a participant in a 1972 White House Conference, suggested that a single world economy is the "inevitable answer" and that aspects of national sovereignty will be ceded to supranational authority. A single world economy is that higher order integration for the decades ahead17 . More effective multilateral governmental institutions must be developed and brought into operation17 . Some aspects of individual sovereignty will be given over to supranational authority17 ....
Excerpts from "Dr. Reiner Fuellmich is sentenced but he is far from finished; the real battle is only just beginning - The Expose.pdf"
•
Dr. Reiner Fuellmich has been sentenced to prison, an outcome described by the author as an act of vengeance by the court. Dr. Reiner Fuellmich has been sentenced to 3 years and 9 months in prison19 . In what can only be described as an act of vengeance, the judge is not permitting the time Dr. Fuellmich has already spent in prison to be taken into account19 .
•
The article suggests that Fuellmich's sentencing was expected and is a result of his opposition to the prevailing system and its narratives. The prepared verdict has been pronounced20 . The system, which has now sentenced Dr. Fuellmich to the expected long prison sentence, has not been squeamish in its dealings with other critics of the grievances prevailing in the country21 .
•
A primary reason cited for Fuellmich's imprisonment is his ability to challenge the "corona [covid] plandemic" narrative and identify those responsible. One is his ability to dismantle the perverse staging of the corona [covid] plandemic and name the culprits22 .
•
Fuellmich is presented as a unique figure willing to take legal action nationally and internationally, unlike others in the "enlightenment scene" who did not compromise. Füllmich is in a position to take the appropriate legal steps nationally and internationally to hold those responsible accountable or at least to make the extent of the crime clear22 .... While the many self-intoxicated petty lawyers are flat-chested about “enlighteners” [investigations] and collect donations, Fuellmich has risked his entire butt and his fortune for the good cause and is now in prison23 .
•
Beyond the covid narrative, Fuellmich is claimed to have uncovered deeper crimes by "plutocrats," including various forms of human and child trafficking and associated criminal activities. Beyond his “corona” expertise, Fuellmich has looked deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole in the last months of his investigative work, in which the true crimes of the plutocrats against humanity were depicted24 . Internationally organised human trafficking, child trafficking, systematic and ritual child abuse, child killings, organ trafficking, money laundering24 .
•
The article contemplates possible reasons for keeping Fuellmich in custody, concluding that only justice would satisfy him. So, there are three possibilities: 1. you buy the civil rights activist... 2. you kill him... 3: you keep him in custody until he is forgotten25 .... There is only one thing that would calm Fuellmich down: justice26 .
Excerpts from "Europe’s Anti-American Shift Now Globalists Are the Saviors of the West_ - LewRockwell.pdf"_
•
The article argues that there has been a long-standing propaganda campaign portraying globalists as saviors and nationalism as villainous, starting after WWII. Nationalism is villainous and globalists are the heroes? It’s a propaganda message that has been building since the end of World War II27 .
•
The plan for global centralization and the destruction of national sovereignty was reportedly evident by the 1990s. By the 1990s everything was essentially out in the open and the plan was clear: Their intention was to destroy national sovereignty and bring in an age of total global centralization28 .
•
Multilateral financial institutions like the IMF are described as mechanisms that require member states to surrender sovereignty and can dictate national fiscal policies. The International Monetary Fund can virtually dictate fiscal policies, even including how much tax a government should levy on its citizens29 .
•
The political left in Europe is characterized as globalists and cultural Marxists who use skewed definitions of freedom and tyranny. the scramble by the political left (especially in Europe) to portray themselves as “rebel heroes fighting for freedom”... Of course, these are globalists and cultural Marxists we’re dealing with, so their definitions of “freedom” and “tyranny” are going to be irreparably skewed30 .
•
European nations are described as spiraling into authoritarianism despite the EU claiming to fight for freedom. Today, many European nations are spiraling into classical authoritarianism, yet they’re pretending as if they’re in a desperate fight for freedom31 . Examples of this include jailing people for online dissent and arresting political opponents32 .
•
The underlying goal of globalism is to be embraced like a religion, requiring the masses to believe globalists are saving the world. To be loved by the people, they have to believe that globalism is their savior33 . They have to believe that globalists are somehow saving the world33 .
Excerpts from "Examples of medical, digital and political tyranny from across the world - The Expose.pdf"
•
The article presents a selection of recent examples from across the world illustrating the rise of various forms of tyranny. The following is a selection of recent articles that demonstrate tyranny is becoming law in several countries where you would not expect to find it34 . Tyranny is often recognised only in hindsight because its victims initially accept it as necessary35 .
•
Medical tyranny examples include the investigation of a pediatrician for speaking against covid injections and Canadian veterans being offered euthanasia instead of treatment. Take the example of Dr. Renata Moon, an American paediatrician, who is facing an investigation for speaking out against covid injections34 . Or Canadian combat veterans being offered euthanasia instead of treatment34 .
•
Digital tyranny is highlighted through the increasing use of surveillance technologies like facial recognition and digital ID systems globally. Then there is the digital tyranny being rolled out across the world35 . Examples include live facial recognition being used or trialed in policing and retail in the UK36 ....
•
Concerns are raised about government digital ID plans potentially creating monopolies and infringing on individual rights and freedoms. Elizabeth Melton argues that the widespread use of surveillance technologies... poses a significant threat to individual rights and freedoms36 . UK digital identity industry groups... are alarmed at the potential for a government monopoly that stifles innovation and costs taxpayers billions38 .
•
The concept of "biodigital integration" is introduced, where technology is being developed to be placed within bodies, potentially turning individuals into monitored "nodes" or "assets." Now, researchers are developing ways to put them [computers] into our bodies39 . – a node in the network or an asset in a database40 .
•
Political tyranny examples include challenges to an anti-globalist presidential candidate in Romania and concerns in Canada about international treaties overriding national laws. There is the digital tyranny being rolled out across the world, the political tyranny in Romania35 . Abraham warns that the country risks becoming “like a province of the UN” rather than preserving its traditional values and distinctive Canadian character41 .
Excerpts from "HHS – a Billy Club Enforcing Allegiance to the Israel Government - LewRockwell.pdf"
•
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), led by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is described as a tool for enforcing allegiance to the Israel government. HHS – a Billy Club Enforcing Allegiance to the Israel Government42 .
•
HHS is part of a governmental effort to penalize colleges that do not suppress "antisemitism," which is defined to include criticism of the Israel government. HHS became one of three parts of the US government leading an effort to punish colleges if they fail to stomp out “antisemitism” — defined bizarrely to include criticism of the Israel government43 .
•
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is cited as claiming that criticizing the Israel government, defined as antisemitism, is a "manifestation of illness." Kennedy, in the announcement of this endeavor, even made the extraordinary claim that such targeted free speech, press, and assembly is a manifestation of illness43 . This is compared to the Soviet Union's method of "medicalization" of dissent44 .
•
The NIH, under HHS, has immediately barred entities that boycott Israel from receiving or using grants. news that HHS subsidiary the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has, effective immediately, barred any entity that boycotts Israel from continuing to spend, or receiving any new, NIH grants44 .
•
This NIH policy is based on a criterion unrelated to the purpose of medical research, threatening to disrupt research projects. All this is done based on a criterion that has nothing to do with the [purpose of medical research]44 . Given the importance of NIH grants in medical research, this new demand threatens to shut down much research and upend the lives of many people employed in research projects44 .
•
The article frames these actions as part of a larger "Israel boosting operation" underway. But, hey, the Trump administration is just three months into its Israel boosting operation45 . (Note: This refers to a hypothetical future scenario as the article was published in April 2025).
Excerpts from "Six stories you may have missed, including the imminent US approval of self-amplifying “vaccines” - The Expose.pdf"
•
The article highlights significant global events that are reportedly not receiving adequate attention from the corporate media. Absolutely enormous things are happening all over the globe, but you aren’t hearing a lot about many of them46 . That is because the corporate media chooses to focus on stories that advance the specific narratives that they are currently pushing46 .
•
One key story is the expected imminent approval of a "self-amplifying" mRNA bird flu vaccine by Moderna in the US. A “self-amplifying” mRNA bird flu vaccine that has been developed by a [Moderna]46 . This is a story of extreme importance, but hardly anyone is talking about it because the corporate media is barely giving it any attention47 .
•
Warnings about a potential massive earthquake in Southern California, specifically related to the Elsinore fault, are mentioned. Is the Elsinore fault waking up? The magnitude 5.2 earthquake that just hit the California has “reignited fears that the ‘Big One’ is coming”47 .
•
Warnings of a volcano preparing to erupt in Alaska are listed as another underreported story. Warnings of a volcano erupting in Alaska48 .
•
The fact that the price of gold has reached record high levels is noted as a significant development overlooked by mainstream sources. price of gold reaches record high levels48 .
•
A 100-year-long solar cycle that is beginning to intensify is also included among the important, underreported stories. 100-year-long solar cycle is “just beginning to ramp up”48 .
Excerpts from "Slava Khazaria, by Thomas Zaja - The Unz Review.pdf"
•
The article suggests that efforts are being made to emphasize the non-Slavic contributions to Ukrainian identity. Recent developments suggest that the custodians of Ukraine’s heritage want to embellish the contribution of the non-Slavic elements — the Southern nomads — to the formation of Ukrainian identity49 .
•
The historical Pontic-Caspian region was multi-ethnic, with the Turkic Khazars ruling a multi-racial empire where inhabitants merged under a common name. The Pontic-Caspian region was a multi-ethnic... region49 . This multi-racial empire would hold together for several centuries, merging all inhabitants to a common name — that of the ruling Turkic Khazars50 .
•
The conversion of the Khazar court to Judaism is mentioned as a significant historical event. the conversion of the Khazar court to Judaism51 .
•
The author proposes that the large number of Eastern European Jews (Ashkenazis) cannot solely be explained by descent from the Semitic Diaspora and notes distinct phenotypes. Based on quantitative judgment alone it is patently obvious that the large numbers of Jews in Eastern Europe could not all have descended from the Semitic-derived Diaspora52 .... The phenotypes of the Ashkenazis... contain expressions which are visibly neither Semitic nor particularly European53 .
•
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's identity is discussed, with the author suggesting he has significant Turkic admixture and should not be considered Slavic. Zelensky’s stocky physique, black hair and brachycephaly indicate greater than average Turkic admixture, be it of Khazar, Pecheneg or Cuman provenance54 . Commentors on my last piece rightly pointed out that Zelensky’s identity should not be considered Slavic54 .
•
The author argues that leaders with less ethnic affinity to their population may pose a conflict of interest due to potentially lower empathy and specific group tendencies. leaders with lower ethnic affinity to the populations that they rule over is a conflict of interest, for reasons not limited to lower empathy55 . There are also simply tendencies of low-trust and low- conscientiousness specific to certain ethnic groups55 .
Excerpts from "The Wile E. Coyote Recession - LewRockwell.pdf"
•
Corporate profits are highlighted as a key driver of stock valuations. The metric that looms largest is corporate profits56 . If profits rise, this justifies higher stock valuations56 .
•
A sharp fall in corporate profits would lead to a downward adjustment in stock valuations. If profits fall sharply, then stock valuations will adjust downward56 .
•
The article identifies two main contributors to recent high corporate profits: globalization and profiteering. Two charts reveal the primary sources of soaring corporate profits: globalization from 2001 to 2024, and profiteering from 2020 to 202556 .
•
Corporate profits during a major economic boom period (1995-2000) were significantly lower than recent levels. corporate profits were in the $700 billion to $800 billion range all through one of the greatest booms in American history, 1995 to 200056 . This was sufficient to spark an economic boom56 .
•
The recent "extraordinary rise" in corporate profits cannot be fully explained by historical factors. The extraordinary rise can’t be attributed to that factor [typical decades-long profit ranges]57 .
Excerpts from "Trump’s Fourth Greatest Betrayal so Far — And Pete Hegseth - LewRockwell.pdf"
•
The article presents the required obtaining of a Real ID for domestic air travel as a significant betrayal by the Trump administration. On May 7, the Trump administration will require that all Americans obtain a Real ID to be able to board a domestic airliner58 ....
•
This Real ID requirement is framed as an imposition by "Big Brother" that makes domestic travel more burdensome for citizens. “Or what?? Evidently, existing ID requirements for American citizens just aren’t adequate now, so Big Brother is forcing us through more hoops for the ‘right’ to travel within our own country.”60 .
•
The stated security rationale for Real ID is questioned, with a quoted expert finding no evidence it would prevent terrorist travel. I’m not aware of a single post-9/11 instance of an alleged or actual terrorist being apprehended, much less successfully boarding an airliner, with false ID credentials — which is the entire-stated rationale for REAL ID61 .
•
Trump is accused of collaborating with Elon Musk and Peter Thiel to implement a "technocratic takeover" of the US government. Trump is also collaborating with Elon Musk and Peter Theil in orchestrating a technocratic takeover of the U.S. government62 . Instituting the REAL ID Act by Trump is a major part of the technocracy surveillance agenda63 .
•
Attorney General Pam Bondi and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem are described as having been tasked by Trump with suppressing First Amendment rights for critics of Israel's actions. Donald Trump has commissioned uber Zionists Attorney General Pam Bondi and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem with the task of expunging the First Amendment protection of the freedom of speech for those who are vocalizing opposition to Israel’s genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza62 .
•
Pete Hegseth's appointment as Secretary of Defense is attributed to the Israel lobby and Thiel technocrats, and his potential removal is linked to the lobby's influence after he reportedly defied their wishes. Hegseth’s uber Zionism was bought and paid for by the Israel lobby... His appointment to Defense Secretary was due to the Israel lobby—and the Theil technocrats64 . But the wrath of the Israel lobby is now crashing down on Hegseth65 .
Excerpts from "What Ron Unz Gets Wrong (and Right) About the Weak Claim Paradox, by Spencer J. Quinn - The Unz Review.pdf"
•
The author discusses differing approaches within White identitarianism regarding the legacy of Nazism and how to counter the dominant narrative that labels Nazism as uniquely evil. Davis, an Australian nationalist, finds that rehabilitating Adolf Hitler and National Socialism is crucial for today’s White Nationalism, while Woods... feels that the various stripes of White Nationalism do not need either to thrive66 ....
•
A "Weak Claim Paradox" is proposed as a strategic counter-narrative, suggesting that claiming the Nazis were less evil than the Bolsheviks is more effective than directly defending Nazism. As a compromise I suggested presenting a pro-White counter-narrative which situates the Nazis as preferrable to (and less evil than) the Bolsheviks68 .
•
This "weak claim" argues that the Bolsheviks committed worse actions than the Nazis, particularly during peacetime, and that the Allies siding with the Soviets implies the Allies were not morally superior. the Bolsheviks, who did worse things during peacetime and during wartime69 . Thus, anyone today willing to smear someone as a Nazi but not as a Bolshevik must be held as morally suspect—just as the western Allies were morally suspect for siding with the greater of two evils during the war68 ....
•
Ron Unz critiqued this "weak claim" based on historical evidence suggesting the Allies planned attacks on the Soviet Union, implying they were opposed to both Soviets and Nazis. Ron Unz himself... found fault with my analysis on historical grounds, stating:69 . According to Unz, my understanding of the facts was incomplete71 .
•
The author prioritizes the effectiveness of a narrative in current culture wars over strict historical accuracy, arguing that the "weak claim" is a tactical approach. I was more concerned about tactics in the present-day culture wars72 . Whether or not this interpretation is 100 percent correct is less important than whether or not the counter-narrative it engenders is effective72 .
•
The author asserts that an effective narrative can be incomplete but still influential, even if it possesses less than 50% of the historical truth, and believes the "weak claim" meets this criterion. It is very possible that an interpretation of history can be incomplete (intentionally or not) and still make for an effective narrative73 . I believe the weak lesser-of-two-evils claim takes us above 50 percent74 .
Excerpts from "What They Don’t Tell You About Anxiety - LewRockwell.pdf"
•
Anxiety is presented as a significant and costly issue in modern society that is often not effectively addressed despite billions spent on treatment. Many consider anxiety to be the disease of the modern age75 . Yet despite spending billions on anxiety, rather than be appropriately addressed...75 .
•
A major problem in psychiatric care is insufficient time spent with patients, leading to issues like lack of warnings about drug side effects and reliance on medications over more effective therapies. One of the biggest challenges in psychiatric care is the lack of time spent with patients76 . Medications end up replacing more time-intensive therapies that are far76 .
•
The article emphasizes that anxiety is not a single condition but encompasses different types requiring varied treatments. there isn’t time for clinicians to ascertain which of the different forms of anxiety a patient has, or which of the various known causes of anxiety the patient may have77 . various forms of anxiety require very different treatments78 .
•
Medical injuries, potentially from drugs and vaccines, are identified as possible causes of increased anxiety, linked to physical harm like heart issues or neurological damage. individuals with drug and vaccine injuries often experience increased anxiety, which in many cases appear to arise from heart issues or neurological damage79 . Likewise, heart conditions or brain injuries can cause anxiety79 .
•
Addressing the underlying physiological causes of anxiety, such as autonomic nervous system dysfunction, can lead to rapid improvements. When the physiologic causes of anxiety are addressed, rapid improvements are frequently seen79 .
•
Metabolic imbalances, identified through analysis like William Walsh's work on depression biotypes, are discussed as potential causes of anxiety that can be treated with natural therapies. Anxiety often occurs concurrently with depression in these biotypes and hence can be treated (or fully resolved) by treating the biotype80 . William Walsh analyzed the blood of 2,800 individuals with depression and discovered there were five common metabolic types of depression81 .
Excerpts from "Where Things Stand - LewRockwell.pdf"
•
The author describes the leading figures of the Democratic Party as "American Jacobins" who define "fighting fascism" as opposing attempts to eliminate corruption from the bureaucracy. “Fighting fascism,” for the American Jacobins who lead the Democratic Party, means opposing any attempt to flush the corruption out of the entrenched bureaucracy82 .
•
Their term "our democracy" is reinterpreted as referring to the system of corruption and activism that drives their political operations. their pet phrase “our democracy” actually refers to the matrix of grift and despotic activism that drives their political operating system82 .
•
USAID is portrayed as having been crucial for distributing taxpayer funds as salaries for NGOs to enable activists to exert control. USAID was so crucial to spread captured taxpayer spoils as NGO salaries for the gender studies grads to play “activist,” so as to inflict their special brand of sadistic power madness over the land82 ....
•
With USAID reportedly diminished, the author claims the remaining power base for this group lies in federal judges and lawyers who file baseless cases against Trump's efforts to clean up the executive branch. all they have left is their installed base of federal judges and the horde of lawfare lawyers who feed them bogus cases to halt the remaining work of Mr. Trump’s executive branch clean-up operation83 .
•
A comparison is drawn between the "American Jacobins" and the historical Jacobins of the French Revolution, implying a similar trajectory towards destructive ends. The Jacobins of 1793 were mad for blood, too, and they spilled a whole lot of it84 .
•
The author uses this historical parallel to suggest that the actions of the contemporary group may lead to their own eventual downfall, similar to the French Jacobins. By the summer of 1794, the blood was finally spouting out of their own necks. . . and then the Jacobin reign of terror came to a sudden and complete end84 . Heed their example84 .
Excerpts from "Who Blinks First China May Exempt Tariffs on US Ethane & Other Goods - LewRockwell.pdf"_
•
Both the United States and China are described as desiring to end the trade war but being hesitant to make the first move. By now it’s become increasingly clear that both the U.S. and China are eager to de-escalate the trade war, yet neither is willing to make the first move85 . Both sides may want a deal to avoid further tariff fallout in their respective economies, but neither wants to appear desperate on the global stage86 .
•
China is reportedly facing economic pressure from the trade war, with decreased export orders and factory closures. In China, export orders are drying up, and factories are shutting down85 .
•
The U.S. is also experiencing negative economic impacts, specifically a predicted sharp decline in containerized cargo volumes at the Port of Los Angeles. across the Pacific Ocean in the U.S., containerized cargo volumes through the Port of Los Angeles are teetering on the edge of a very sharp decline, threatening to send shockwaves through Southern California’s economy and beyond85 .
•
China is reported to be considering or has already exempted certain U.S. imports, including medical equipment and ethane, from high tariffs. several media outlets reported that China’s government has either considered or exempted some U.S. imports from a 125% tariff rate87 . [Bloomberg] cited people familiar with the matter who said Beijing is considering removing tariffs on medical equipment and certain industrial chemicals, including ethane87 .
•
These potential exemptions are seen as a pragmatic step to ease tensions and benefit China's industry by securing access to hard-to-replace goods. Exempting critical, hard-to-replace U.S. products from tariffs would be a pragmatic approach that could ease tensions with the U.S. and serve the interests of Chinese industry88 .
•
The article concludes that while mutual economic pressures push for de-escalation, national pride prevents either side from appearing desperate. Both sides may want a deal... but neither wants to appear desperate on the global stage86 .
Excerpts from "Why Miles Mathis Work is so Important MILES MATHIS.pdf"
•
The author credits Miles Mathis's work with personally transforming their life, helping them overcome depression and gaslighting by revealing the manufactured nature of many events and news stories. This discovery led me... to transform myself from a severely gaslit, depressed, overweight daydreamer... to a slim, athletic, clear-minded and pleasantly opinionated person89 . most “news” items were either manufactured or completely fake90 .
•
Miles Mathis is lauded for the thoroughness, professionalism, and straightforwardness of his research, which helps identify controlled opposition figures in the "conspiracy research" field. I immediately noticed the level of thoroughness and professionalism which I now know is a trademark of his research90 . Once you read Miles, you immediately begin to notice the strangeness in the other, fake researchers90 .
•
Mathis is contrasted with other researchers by his appearance and willingness to publicly share extensive details about his life and background, which builds trust. Miles didn’t look like a dweeb or a weirdo at all91 . Miles also has a CV/resume, a bio, old papers, artworks; literally everything you need to know to see that he is for real91 .
•
His scientific work is highlighted for providing clear, mechanical explanations for complex physics concepts and unifying fundamental ideas like spirit and matter. What intrigued me was that he was offering solutions for many problems that were begging for it92 . Miles clarifies spiritual matters to such a degree that it can’t fail to impact you93 . Since matter is also made of photons... Miles also puts the dualism between spirit and matter to rest, unifying everything93 .
•
Mathis is recognized for exposing organized psychological operations targeting the population, including the deliberate destabilization of women's minds and attacks on heterosexual relationships. This is a heinous crime of enormous proportions and Miles is the only real person that stresses this enough, approaching it from the correct angle and explaining HOW it is done, WHO is doing it and WHY94 .
•
He argues that modern mental illness stems from succumbing to planned psychological attacks and confusion, and that his work helps individuals regain sanity by providing the truth and invalidating false narratives. Modern mental illness is simply a phenomenon where a mind succumbs to the barrage of organized, government-sponsored psychological attacks95 . When you come to realize they never happened, your mind begins to gradually dump the false conclusions it reached as a response to these fakes96 . I have never been depressed since I understood Miles' message97 .
Excerpts from "Why and How To Fire 42,000 IRS Agents… - LewRockwell.pdf"
•
The vast majority of US income tax returns involve income and deduction data that is machine-readable from independent reporting sources. the overwhelming share of income and deduction data coursing through 161 million annual income tax filings is essentially riding in a self-driving vehicle98 . Upwards of 90% of the AGI reported in 2022 for all returns was machine readable98 .
•
Most income types (wages, interest, dividends, etc.) are reported to the IRS by the payers on forms like W-2s and 1099s, making them verifiable by computer. wages and salaries... Taxable interest... Taxable dividends... IRAs... Pensions and annuities... Taxable Social Security... Unemployment benefits... When it comes to verification on a machine-readable basis, the above income items are all check, check and check99 .
•
Major itemized deductions like mortgage interest, charitable contributions, and state/local taxes are also reported to the IRS by originators or government bodies, making them machine-readable. mortgage interest deductions are reported on Form 1098; charitable contributions are reported in Form 990 and deductions for state and local taxes paid are available from IRS information sharing reports by the states100 ....
•
Given the high degree of machine-readable data, the article questions the necessity of the IRS's large workforce and budget. So how in the world can they justify 83,000 bureaucrats and a budget of $16.1 billion when the overwhelming share of returns involve what can be aptly described as “machine work 101”?102 ....
