Hey doc - Tom Haviland and I are so very grateful that you've published the results of our survey. More evidence to blow the lid off all of the lies.

FYI doc - we’ve got an embalmer running the same survey in Canada. I copied our survey for them and revised to reflect their provinces. Unfortunately due to the very long hours they are working, they do not have the time to devote to this effort like Tom and I did. I’ll keep you updated. They have two responses so far.

Great work! Citizen activism at its finest!

The straight forward survey gives voice to the embalmers.

Why wasn't this done by the CDC, Public Health Agencies, Cleveland Clinic, etc.?

We know why. The establishment wants the adverse events to go away.

Tom – great survey. I note that around the same proportion said they saw no increase in both jelly clots and fibrous clots – but the jelly clots were associated with Covid and surely did increase, suggesting that these are the respondents who were either not paying attention or giving the on-narrative answer. Can you confirm to what extent it was the same people who didn't see either?

Good work, big ups!

Thank you so much Laura and Tom! This is great work! You are both heroes!

Do you have any info on % of embalmers that have seen either the white fibrous clots or the jelly clots by region or state? And also by urban, suburban, rural? I’m wondering if there’s a correlation of certain batches sent to certain areas (I.e. I’ve heard the deadliest ones were sent to “republican” counties). Thank you!

Expand full comment

Great question, Andrea. There just wasn't enough persons responding to accurately determine if there was any "regionality" going on with the clots. I believe that I saw embalmers from all regions of the U.S. who say that they seeing the clots, AND embalmers from all regions of the U.S. who are saying that they have not. -Tom

Step One: They released a virus. Step Two: They ratcheted up the worldwide fear campaign. Step three: they locked everything down, driving people into isolation. Step four: They shut down effective early treatment options. Step five: They provided the solution - the sacred miracle elixir, which they said would stop the spread. Step six: They censored any contradictory evidence/viewpoints from experts and otherwise that challenged the official state narrative. Step Seven: They mandated the sacred miracle elixir to keep your job, resulting in about 66%-70% of the populace (depending on what source you believe) taking the so-called cure. They created the problem. They created fear and hysteria. And they provided the "cure." Unfortunately, the cure was really not a cure. They lied.

I'm going to finish that list for you.

Step Eight: The truth starts to leak out.

Step Nine: Normies start to panic because they realize they may have signed their and their children's, and most people they care about's death warrants.

Step Ten: Normies start to go after elites in sporadic incidents, one of which either results in, or nearly results in, serious physical harm or death.

Step Eleven: Elites panic, attempt to cover up/shift blame/flee, indictments are issued.

Step Twelve: USD soars as capital flows to the the only "safe haven", first arrests begin.

Step Thirteen: USD collapses, many elites become poor overnight, alternative stores of wealth soar as many elites frantically attempt to convert their wealth into something portable.

Step Fourteen: The truth finally comes completely out, the West starts the process of rebuilding, elites are arrested or on the run.

Step Fifteen: A new golden age dawns on humanity, started off by a new reality show: "Hunting down our former elites", participants are rewarded with a cut of the criminal's ill gotten gains, and their fortunes are used to fund rebuilding.

Consider Gary Peter Carlson's pendulum dowsing on souls. Yeah, he sounds ludicrous.

But. It explains a lot.

Humanity have different soul types. Some souls have no empathy for others. Most of humanity have souls that do have empathy for others.

These no empathy souls are in a tiny minority of the worlds population. But they've been seeded into a race that is known for ingenuity, ambition, exploration, inventiveness, & they've been able to attain positions of power, influence & control for a very long time.

It's basically the situation as presented in the well known movie John Carpenter's They Live (1989). Or maybe even the 80's tv science fiction series V.

Combine Gary's views with Miles Mathis' geneology work which points to the seafaring Phoenician race as the reason for the worlds main problems, & there is your answer.

Aliens they are, in a matter of speaking. Sitchin's The 12th Planet goes into some detail, although he apparently was one of them.

It also may explain why modern science has been so steered towards a molecular vision of life, discarding or not having any use for anything of a "spiritual" nature, because this may be the reality & it would unmask them.

You know - I would love to see/hear/read a summary of Miles Mathis' work - I went to his webpage, and some of the .pdf's would load - but - the organisation of his page is such that I don't have 20 hours to delve into it. Can you point me to a precise summary of his views?

There are commentaries on his work all over the place, but none I would suggest as a summary of his genealogy work, at least not that I've seen yet.

If only this would really happen, one can dream. The "elites" also run the government, military, and media, and anyone "going vigilante" will be rounded up as "domestic terrorists" and crushed by the same system that pushed the covid scam. Why do you think the Jan 6 drama keeps getting rehashed, it is to discourage anything even remotely close from happening. Those trespassing "insurrectionists" remain in captivity with all their legal rights nullified.

Half of the Davos attendees decided to participate by video instead to avoid the PR fallout from attending in person. Klaus is just a figurehead who takes orders like most leaders.

Some signposts that would really persuade me that something is "happening": Fauci, Birx, Francis, and the medical health cabal are arrested for covering up covid and pushing fraud on the public; Pfizer and Moderna lose their liability shield and get sued to oblivion for fraud and causing public injury; the mainstream narrative becomes "the shots can be dangerous and can cause severe harm; masks don't work; PCR testing is a scam" and is blasted 24/7 is every public and online arena, just like the "safe and effective" message has been pushed.

I think the Deep State paraded him out on purpose for that unusually long and rather complicated walk.

What people are missing here, and it concerns me, is that the cabal wants us to know about Covid and the vax. They hope people will start a war against their governments and further foster the ruin of society. Then the cabal will introduce the Great Reset as a solution—once society is completely on its knees.

That very much may be the case, but the event was successful in cementing the message that: 1) there are "right-wing nutjobs" who are "threats to democracy" and to the country; and 2) don't mess with the establishment or your life will be destroyed. Details of a likely psy-op won't interfere with the main message.

The FBI and their establishment politicos typically exploit people and situations rather than create them. They exploited the peaceful protest on January 6 with a plan they implemented with the help of Pelosi and some Republicans. Barr was a quiet planner, perhaps by omission.

They had a successful run in Charlottesville in 2017 that also resulted in arrests of good men who were there to fight for freedom.

The abortion protester arrests are in the same pattern.

They created the domestic terrorism meme just as they created the Russia interference meme to stop the peaceful revolution.

7. A few radicals venture out and try to kill cats to feed their families. The snipers shoot them dead - this plays on CNNBBC as a warning to others.

There are 4000 Spent Fuel Ponds Around the Globe…

If you don’t cool the spent fuel, the temperature will rise and there may be a swift chain reaction that leads to spontaneous combustion–an explosion and fire of the spent fuel assemblies. Such a scenario would emit radioactive particles into the atmosphere. Pick your poison. Fresh fuel is hotter and more radioactive, but is only one fuel assembly. A pool of spent fuel will have dozens of assemblies.

One report from Sankei News said that there are over 700 fuel assemblies stored in one pool at Fukushima. If they all caught fire, radioactive particles—including those lasting for as long as a decade—would be released into the air and eventually contaminate the land or, worse, be inhaled by people. “To me, the spent fuel is scarier. All those spent fuel assemblies are still extremely radioactive,” Dalnoki-Veress says.

It has been known for more than two decades that, in case of a loss of water in the pool, convective air cooling would be relatively ineffective in such a “dense-packed” pool. Spent fuel recently discharged from a reactor could heat up relatively rapidly to temperatures at which the zircaloy fuel cladding could catch fire and the fuel’s volatile fission product, including 30-year half-life Cs, would be released. The fire could well spread to older spent fuel. The long-term land-contamination consequences of such an event could be significantly worse than those from Chernobyl.

http://science.time.com/2011/03/15/a-new-threat-in-japan-radioactive-spent-fuel/

Japan’s chief cabinet secretary called it “the devil’s scenario.” Two weeks after the 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami devastated the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, causing three nuclear reactors to melt down and release radioactive plumes, officials were bracing for even worse. They feared that spent fuel stored in pools in the reactor halls would catch fire and send radioactive smoke across a much wider swath of eastern Japan, including Tokyo.

https://energyskeptic.com/2017/the-devils-scenario-near-miss-at-fukushima-is-a-warning-for-u-s/

The Chernobyl accident was relatively minor, involved no spent fuel ponds, and was controlled by pouring cement onto the reactor. This was breaking down so a few years back they re-entombed.

Estimates of the cancer burden in Europe from radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl accident

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16628547/

However, many of the radioactive elements in spent fuel have long half-lives. For example, plutonium-239 has a half-life of 24,000 years, and plutonium-240 has a half-life of 6,800 years. Because it contains these long half-lived radioactive elements, spent fuel must be isolated and controlled for thousands of years.

For some, isolation led to fixation on the mainstream media fear narrative, but for others of us, the isolation and boredom led us to research a lot of things that we didn't have the time or awareness to do before.

So… now we have a new precedent where vaccine and drug studies are “completed” without control group. Follow the science" and "speed of science" means skipping the scientific process? OK. And if we are “following the science,” then why did former CDC director Robert Redfield receive death threats after coming to think the virus came out of a lab, not zoonotic See DailyMail, https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9649771/Ex-CDC-director-received-death-threats-said-believed-COVID-19-originated-lab.html Fox, https://www.foxnews.com/health/ex-cdc-director-redfield-says-he-received-death-threats-after-mentioning-lab-leak-theory or the UK’s Sunhttps://www.the-sun.com/news/3014724/cdc-robert-redfield-death-threats-scientists-covid-wuhan-lab/ (most of the bought and paid for US fake news ignored this, of course.)

Why did Redfield also tell Vanity Fair “I was threatened and ostracized because I proposed another hypothesis… I expected it from politicians. I didn’t expect if from science.” (Maybe he should have reviewed Thomas Kuhn’s seminal Structure of Scientific Revolution.) This reminds me of the late global warming skeptic out of Univ. of Winnipeg, Dr. Tim Ball received hate mail and death threat, like Redfield, with such messages as, "If you continue to speak out, you won't live to see further global warming…" Both faux global warming and Covid research is supposed to be about "science." Really? Writes Ball: It's hard to imagine Niels Bohr responding to Albert Einstein's letter questioning quantum mechanics with a statement like: ‘If you continue to speak out, you won't live to see further quantum mechanics...’" and then added it is “Only a false religion needs hate mail, threats, courts of inquisition and Hollywood movies to sustain it.”

I still do not think a virus was released. How could these dummies know that it would not take out the entire planet? How can they predict when it would stop? How could they prove transmission and if they even could prove it, how would they control it?

There is no way to predict how humanity would be affected...yes a few might die, but how would you know everyone wouldn't die?

The bioweapon was optimized on the Chinese and released there by the US to weaken China. The problem is that population is susceptible because of low vitamin D levels due to cultural sun avoidance, and it turned out the virus is extremely weak against vitamin D.

Once it made it over here it didn't work as well on the US population due to higher D levels and the natural tendency of viruses to become less lethal with each iteration. They tied to amp up the deaths with respirators, Remdesivir, and other treatments that would make people die rather than live (also they media assassinated effective things like Ivermectin, Zinc, D, C, etc.).

Add 'on purpose'...

Expand full comment

The worst case scenario came to pass: the leaders in office decided to USE their powers for ill purpose.

The vaxx mandate was a bold step, but if one looks at this from their viewpoint, it was the best possible move they could have made--for their cause: it made the mass populace a stakeholder class in the cause.

What does that mean, exactly? It means that regular folk buckled under the order/pressure to comply because it came from their national leadership and via channels of law. For that reason alone, most complied. That it was illegal/immoral didn't matter; it came from the top, and people are conditioned to obey. Having complied, they are going to be RESISTANT to accommodate any criticism of their collective act. That includes physicians who faced ridicule for even speaking up with expression of simple doubt. They checked their voices, they put their autonomy in a lock box.

Now that 2/3 of the USA has acquired membership in a class, they can be expected to act very similarly in a number of ways. They first are victims of leadership's bold tactic. Their health was sacrificed for some stupid reason or myriad reasons, none of which are worthy of the cost. But, that's how activists roll: they affect others' lives for the sport of being a meddler. Now, they have consigned multiple millions to degrading health if not imminent death. Anyone in that position is going to have conflicted emotions, probably the first and most pronounced being denial. Don't expect to have them even WANT to hear about adverse effects.

Expand full comment

I never bought the conditioned to obey explanation because it makes good people out to be stupid followers. I know many idiosyncratic critical thinking people that took this thing. They took it because they are successful, educated people who live in the regular world and make their livings from those regular systems. They are teachers and doctors, engineers, and municipal workers. They are people who tend to trust conventional wisdom and medical authority. The alternative is that we have chaos. Their tribe was promoting the jab. Their tribe hated Trump. Their tribe are some of the best and brightest people in the world. The problem is the corruption of systems over time so that they can no longer be trusted to create healthy outcomes for people. They are broken because of profit incentives and because of ideological delusions. The enforcers of their systems - FBI, CIA, local authorities have been corrupted. Ours is a failing system that is now populated by compromised and ineffective leaders (and doctors). Instead of trying to exploit our grand conspiracy, elite, taking over the world explanatory theories we might have more success taking a more practical approach with these normies. Hey, you stupid sheep! is not going to sway them. Do you now understand how fucked up our world is? might work better.

Expand full comment

Which is it? Are the best and brightest who took the jab the best and brightest, or did they just look left and right, see their tribe lining up, and so they lined up as well? Or, did they overthink it compared to the resistant sheep and come away with an enlightened understanding that the jab was very good, despite that the enforcers already said it was?

What many otherwise discerning people did was to buckle to the pressure. They were faced with "it's a just a stupid shot like you've taken a dozen times before. Are you really going to be dumb about it and lose your job or be the super-spreader that infects hundreds?" And, they decided that it WAS just a shot, and that doctors wouldn't be united in favor of it unless it was legit, and the smart PhD down the way did it and said only idiot anti-vaxxers deny science and truth, SO, they took it.

How discerning is that? It isn't. It's buckling to suggestion and looking for an authority figure to provide the "out".

The rest of the world had taken this injection, she had taken this injection, and she forcefully injected me. In the dream/vision, I felt my soul dissolve.

Fast forward to 2020, she has indeed taken the injection. One of the finest diagnostic medical talents I know, wasted on corporate medicine, in spite of her advanced functional medicine training. I'm 10,000 miles away, she cannot forcefully inject me. But I feel the pressure from other loved ones in my life. I will likely never speak again to my siblings, for example.

When we discussed the shot, I said no, don't take it. In Jan 2021, she still had a choice (her employer went through lots of switchbacks with mandates). She said, "well, I don't' want to get COVID!" - already, she had been suffering through hours of PPE donning for infectious control - 2-3 hours a day donning her suit & equipment (she sent me a photo, it was definitely intrusive!)...so she had hopes that the shot would relieve her burden somewhat.

Bottom line, compliance is not an indicator of intelligence. Or even compassion. It's just a measure of compliance, and every human has their price.

Compliance is an indicator of lack of self confidence and self respect.

Call it what one wants, there are those who would go down fighting/fleeing and there are the vast majority who bend the knee.

A free people deserving of the raw liberties of the gift of life would never allow the first mandate to touch the ears of the temptable, lest it run like a wildfire.

People like to believe that they would never fall prey to a cult. They like to believe that their centre is strong, they don't have any chink-holes that a cult could weasel into.

The opposite is true. A solid cult will use exactly this belief to catch you.

There but for the Grace of G-d go I.

Compassion for our fellow humans.

Mattias Desmet said this version cohort of Mass Formation skewed more intelligent than other cohorts although intelligence does not seem to be an important independent variable for this phenomenon. I know people that took the shots for all of the reasons you mentioned. I believe it is quite reasonable for people to conclude that if an entire establishment health system thought the shots were great that they probably were great. That would appear to be the normal position. There is nothing wrong with people that made that decision. I believe most of the people that decided on the shots and most of the implementers believed they were good and they would work. Others hoped. Only a few sociopaths probably knew the truth.

Don’t have any recollection of being polled by a Mattias…

Nothing “wrong” with people choosing, nothing at all.

It is entirely reasonable to conclude that vast numbers of people looked to authority and did their bidding.

But, provide a robust rationale for the following behavior at the HIGHEST levels of those in the know: HCQ and later ivermectin were blackballed in the midst of a “no known treatment pandemic”. There wasn’t a “try what you like and let us know how it worked out” accommodation for those AT ALL.

How is that?

Remember, the pharma trials stated that their objective for success was “reduction in severity of Covid symptoms”. Full stop. No mention of transmissibility effect.

In light of the above, there is NO defense for curtailing choice—none.

So, what rationale, what defense, for those in the know?

Grapple with that question, and the answer screams at you.

People were told the shot was 95% effective in stopping infection and transmission. They were told the shot would end the global pandemic. In late 2020 people were rejoicing that science had found a cure and they could get back to their regular lives. Tribal loyalty had a lot to do with it. The Left tribe was 100% lined up in support of this remedy from doctors to public health people, virtually every mainstream journal, all of their trusted media, college professors, the Whole Foods checkout girls, everyone. That is what makes what the decision-makers did so criminal - the ones that knew or should have known this thing was poison and did it anyway. We still do not know who those people are by the way.

My strategy is to use this event to help these people understand that they should now not trust anything that comes from the Establishment Left, or the pharmaceutical companies, or the military, or the major media, or any mainstream source whatsoever. Calling them stupid sheep does not seem to help in that regard, although maybe it would. I just have a hard time being that judgmental toward people who were just living normal lives.
