* I’m Scamming the CBC

You Did Not Harm Us

I used to be an ardent CBC fan, for decades. But no more. Now I want to live long enough to see the death of that dank purveyor of propaganda and brainwashing. Demolished. In the dustbin of history. I know in my heart that CBC can’t be reformed; it’s propped up by the government, last year it received $1.4 billion (!). But ever hopeful, and in the off chance that maybe, just maybe, a few of their story submission readers might have what James Corbett calls “two brain cells to rub together,” I decided to submit a non-fiction article into their annual writing contest. Winning comes with CBC-styled publicity, $6K prize money and a session at Banff Center for the Arts, all of which I could care less about.

Without a doubt my article doesn’t stand a chance in hell of being picked for the shortlist. My words slam the mainstream media in general, and CBC in particular, for their disgraceful subjectivity, their vicious attacks against unvaxxed Canadians and the Truckers Freedom Convoy during the COVID scamdemic, their blithe superficiality, their compromised ethical backbone, their avoidance of all corporate corruption, their obsequious worship of the dirty Liberal party, their tedious mediocrity, their endless WOKE proselytizing. (Did I miss anything?) 

When I submitted the article, I visualized me having super strong arms and pulling back my huge, symbolic quiver and releasing a giant symbolic flaming arrow that would arc up through the air and over the CBC’s ramparts into the dark heart of the compound. Maybe my words would land where they desperately need to go and start a raging fire that would spread quickly and destroy the entire nasty mess. 

Contest entry fee: $25. In therapy terms, a real bargain. My disgust was eating me up and I had to get it off my chest. Here it is:

You Did Not Harm Us

…but don’t ever ‘not harm us’ again!

It’s a safe bet that anyone against research during COVID was gripped by terror. Most of us were in the midst of avoiding our own ignorance—some were protecting vested interests and careers—and some were corrupt and wanting to keep a nefarious agenda concealed. You don’t have to look very far to figure out why so many were averse to the knowledge that research brings; corporate-owned media was—and still is—busy trying to grind everyone into their version of correct groupthink: 

“Doing Your Own Research

is a Good Way of Being Wrong”

Washington Post

January 2024

Investigative journalist and stand-up comic, Jimmy Dore, poked fun at this in one of his performances: 

“You know, before COVID, doing your own research used to be called reading. You would never shame people for trying to get informed, no matter what other subject it was, no matter how unimportant, like if I say, Hey I’m gonna go buy a car. Don’t look into it! Well how would I know which car to get? Ask the salesman!..”

This little gem of 1984 doublespeak could make Orwell spin in his grave:

Don’t Go Down the Rabbit Hole

Critical thinking, as we’re taught to do it,

isn’t helping in the fight against misinformation.

~ New York Times, February 2021

With the perspective of hindsight, COVID showed us that doing research has become a necessity, and in some cases would even be crucial for survival. Media literacy has never been a more important skillset. Has anyone asked why the corporate-owned media—local, national and international—were all so magically in sync? Why did they all push identical “news”, why did they all hammer the phrases “all scientists agree” and “safe and effective”? Why did they squash all necessary inquiry and investigation? As one protestor accurately put it, of course all scientists agree when you censor and cancel the ones who don’t. As for “safe and effective”, pharmaceutical companies weren’t telling—because they didn’t have to. 

Blackout clauses are built into their contracts. Before American courts forced them to do so, COVID vaccine makers didn’t have to provide any clinical trial data for 75 years! They are legally protected from liability. Back in the 1980s, before then President Reagan granted pharmaceutical companies immunity from legal prosecution, people were successfully suing for damages. Vaccine makers would have to yank their faulty products off the market when more than a handful of injuries or death occurred. How is it possible that car manufacturers can be sued for manufacturing defects but vaccine manufacturers cannot? Harming or killing consumers with spoiled food, a dangerous toy or even a scalding hot cup of coffee, have all been decided by the courts to be serious crimes, but harming or killing people with a vaccine isn’t? 

Today we see the direct result of that legal immunity. During the COVID years, people began collapsing and dying on camera. Professional athletes dropping on soccer fields, tennis pros dropping on the court, TV talk show hosts toppling from their desk, lecturers dropping from their lecterns, public speakers toppling like trees, performers staggering sideways and crumpling into a heap on stage, audiences gasping and unsure if what they’re seeing is part of the performance. The young and healthy were suddenly dying, all cause mortality numbers climbed, miscarriages increased, chronic disease increased, alarming stats poured in. (1)(2)

Scientists with courage and backbone who sounded the alarm on shoddy clinical trials were rapidly silenced and de-platformed; social media platforms, including Twitter and Facebook, were actively involved in censorship. The few brave doctors who blew the whistle were ruined; nurses who declined getting the vaccine or refused to go along with COVID emergency protocols were ostracized, fired or laid off and denied Employment Insurance benefits. 

Funeral home embalmers began finding sinewy white clots in the blood of cadavers, some as thick and long as a pencil. This was completely new and shocking to the profession. And they, too, feared speaking out, though one eventually did at Canada’s National Citizens Inquiry. (3) Dissenting voices of all kinds, professional and layman, all were silenced and crushed. And you wouldn’t have known any of this unless you were researching or listening to others doing research. 

If your primary source of official “health” information during COVID was the TV news, you were thoroughly brainwashed. I know because I was one of them! Despite my instincts telling me to wait, warning me not to do it, despite not understanding RNA, despite being repelled by the words ‘new technology’ in the same sentence as ‘vaccine’, I decided to get the first dose of Moderna. I told myself, I’ll take one for the team, meaning I wanted to help protect my community.

I’ve had forty vaccines in my life: twenty during school years, nineteen for work and world travels, and then the fortieth shot was this “safe and effective” mRNA. Four months after the first shot, my heart suddenly went wonky—irregular heartbeat, dizzy spells, blood pressure so high my doctor was alarmed. By then reports were starting to come in about deaths in the UK from the AstraZeneca jab. The UK and other countries were stopping its use. With some bitterness I listened as my doctor told me she didn’t think my symptoms were related to the vaccine. I had to go on blood pressure medication normally given to the very elderly. 

It suddenly became clear to me that we’d all been profoundly conned, which was very destabilizing for someone who had always trusted science and the guys in charge. Months later, after my fear of dying prematurely subsided, I was gripped with self-loathing for being stupid and not listening to my intuition. Finally, once I had figured out what happened, who’s responsible, and why we were so harmed, I felt a diamond-hard determination to see the corporate media cartel well and truly reformed, all the health cons exposed and all the criminals brought to justice.

I began monitoring media far and wide. Any reports on sudden deaths, on the myriad of vax injuries? Nothing, complete blackout. Instead, all news outlets pummelled us with propaganda, half-lies and fear factor messaging until families fractured, friendships severed, children were sent into spirals of mental illness, and the web of Canadian society started to fall apart. Not to mention all the rest of the social and economic carnage all around the world.

Many Canadians were turned into proto-Nazis. Many called for the quarantine and shunning of the unvaxxed; suspicion, hysteria and hatred spread like black mold. Those who chose body autonomy over an untested, experimental vaccine had their lives turned into a nightmare. Canada was being marched into fascism: produce papers, scan that QR code so you can order a cheeseburger, agree to endless draconian measures and quarantines. It was hard to buy food, have a normal life, go to school, travel, access important services, and attend gatherings. So many people were happy to show their papers in order to do their part: proof of vax status wasn’t tyranny writ large, it was doing the right thing.  

Making matters worse, in 2021, then Prime Minister Trudeau dove into the hate game and used a divide-and-conquer strategy to win his re-election campaign, calling Canadians who declined an experimental vaccine “unacceptable”, asking if we “should tolerate them”. Canada’s bought-off press helped him every step of the way. 

The unvaxxed—and those like me who became anti-vaxxers—summoned our courage and hunkered down in defense mode. We worked hard to expose and debunk the absurdity, lies and corruption. Researching became the order of the day; it was the only way to light the path forward. People from across the political spectrum became a new tribe of resisters, realizing, for the first time in our lives, that our rights were under direct threat and something very dark was underway. 

If you lose the rights of the few, you end up losing the rights of the many. Voltaire’s famous quote helped give us strength: those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. Canada was deeply wounded and society was terribly divided, and we were driven to expose the truth on behalf of all of us. As Margaret Mead so famously said, Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world, indeed it’s the only thing that ever has.

Former veteran CBC reporter, Rodney Palmer, testifying before the National Citizens Inquiry: 

“They took an exceptional moment to decide they would not be journalists, that instead they would be public health messengers [which] failed to expire with the end of the emergency…and the result is that Canada’s national broadcaster has morphed into a state broadcaster. And I worked in countries where there were state broadcasters—China, Syria, Malawi, North Korea—it’s promoting government policy without question, while censoring, belittling and shaming learned Canadians who dare to object and inform us of the truth. Bad journalism is incompetence but propaganda is a betrayal. And that’s what CBC has done, it betrayed us all.”

People still ignorant of the media’s use of propaganda tactics often hurl abuse at those who research, use the internet to learn the truth, think freely and question official narratives. Derogatory insults, stereotypes and cliches are used to belittle. Ironically, they believe they’re educated and innately superior—if they didn’t hear it on the news it didn’t happen or it’s conspiracy theory. They’ve become weaponized handmaidens—useful, manipulated and strictly controlled.

Canadian society is now fractured and unwell, though nobody seems to want to talk about that. Hoping to heal by avoidance, perhaps. We don’t want to believe that science could actually harm us, but we know we don’t want that nightmare to ever repeat. Luckily for all of us, efforts to crush free speech have failed—so far. But attacks continue and we’re seeing more dirty tactics, more devious legislation to push us into compliance and obedience. The same bad actors who sold us “safe and effective” are now demonizing by levelling accusations of hatred, far right extremism, and misinformation. How ludicrous and how obvious. 

Most people aren’t “far” anything, other than right so far. Most are firmly in the majority middle which tends to be about 75% of the population; they value reasonableness and discussion, they value balanced perspectives and cool heads prevailing. The majority middle tend to dislike extremist ideas and extremist groups; they keep civil society afloat. And the accusation of misinformation is both a weapon and a disguise—a weapon because it aims to kill facts and truth; a disguise because it shields the corrupt from scrutiny.

The time to wake up was yesterday. The vaccine industrial complex is real; militarism, greed and sociopathy have corroded science thanks to lax laws and regulation, lack of transparency and far too much trust. The same people invested in pharma also own the corporate media. They don’t want us to trust the decency of our fellow Canadians; they want us obedient, divided and fearful. If they can keep us in constant opposition it’s easier to slow march us into tyranny. You would know all this if you did some research and stopped allowing yourself to be easy pickings for brainwashing. We better wise up, come together and focus on the right targets. It’s no longer Left versus Right but rather Truth versus Propaganda. 

Corporate and government-funded media are not our friends—not worthy of blanket trust; giving them our attention needs to be a cautionary tale of alert skepticism. The sooner we become media literate, the sooner we learn how to find high quality sources of independent information. It’s up to us to protect our democracy, freedom and health.

* The Toxic Brotherhood

Throughout history there’s always been the so-called “elite” who wield power and are spectacularly wealthy. Our survival often depends on them, but we’re at an impasse: our survival is now threatened by them. Colossal decisions are being made about our future, mostly without our knowledge and definitely without our consent.

Comprehension requires us to recognize the existence of a global toxic brotherhood but many people are reluctant to do so. Perhaps the participation of a scant few females inhibits perception; yes, there are women within toxic brotherhoods (who get no pass for being there) but they’re a micro-minority playing by the rules. Without a doubt the world is run by men—bad men, mostly, who behave in predictable ways. 

To be clear, this article is not about misandry. Most men are caring, loving, protective, non-violent, benign, benevolent, honourable, wise. But their power and influence has devolved, is being driven to the periphery, even underground. Earth and humanity are being overwhelmed by a transnational mob of sociopaths, psychopaths and violent alpha males who are not seen by anybody, not loyal to anybody and not held accountable by anybody.  

Let’s briefly sketch their primary behaviours, which interact for mutual advantage inside a closed  matrix.These five elements define a toxic brotherhood who are deeply embedded in all social, political and economic systems.

Paranoia. Intelligence agencies and, in America, their over 52,000 contractors. CIA, FBI, spies, deceit, espionage. Subterfuge and suspicion. They always have enemies; their enemies are always making something bad and/or planning something bad so we’d better be doing it, too. Their enemies are supposed to be our enemies.  

Secrecy. Classified information, privileged access, invisible partnerships. Devious long-term planning, racketeering, quietly trying to put authoritarian laws on the books like Bills C-8 and C-9. Inventing fiscal laws that protect a black, or covert, economy. Legitimizing theft of taxpayer money—U.S. $21 trillion according to Catherine Fitts, an economist in the Bush Jr. White House whose integrity got her kicked out of the club. The capture of global health organizations, owning “the science” from molecule to market. Information blackouts and media collusion. Wargame conferences brainstorming the militarization of vaccinology and subversion of democracy. Robert F Kennedy Jr from The Real Anthony Fauci : “Dark Winter, Atlantic Storm, and Global Mercury were only three of over a dozen Germ Games staged by military, medical, and intelligence planners leading up to COVID-19. Each of the Kafkaesque exercises became uncanny predictors of a dystopian age that pandemic planners dubbed the ‘New Normal’.”

Competition. It produces some fine results for humanity but we’re talking about the toxic kind: becoming the richest and most feared. Conquest. Carving up the world. Too much is never enough. Willfully ignoring harmful downstream effects of their inventions and activities; denying culpability, deploying teams of lawyers to make their responsibility disappear. Social costs, loss of family/community, loss of livelihoods, not their problems to fix. Rigging elections, locking people out of home ownership, hiding wealth, money laundering, assisting global drug cartels, perverting justice, trampling human rights, assaulting earth’s atmosphere, destroying ecosystems, not their problems to fix. Winning is their addiction and obsession.  

Domination: Subtle or brute force. Manufacturing truth. Silencing opponents, squashing alternate visions. A culture of bald-faced lying. Manipulating the masses with dark psychology we never agreed to, nudging for desired results, brainwashing and propaganda. Strict management of all information flows through corporate-owned and government-funded “news”. The worshipping of violence. Bringing the hammer down on dissent. In its extreme form, domination is the capture, torture, and/or killing of anyone who threatens them, hence the lack of intervention by the good guys.  

Warring: Forever wars. Youth are cannibalized, inculcated with patriotic fervor, and sacrificed to trumped-up enemies. They (we) are not fighting enemy Russians, enemy Ukrainians, enemy Iranians, enemy Iraqis, enemy Israelis, enemy Tutsis, enemy Communists, enemy Viet Cong,  enemy whomevers! Since warring is such bloody good business you can never have enough enemies. The war machine is essentially a global franchise of toxic brotherhoods.

The wrong guys are in charge, the worst guys are designing the future and COVID revealed their true intentions: the militarization of everything. Physician and biological warfare expert, Meryl Nass, MD: “Coercion should be the last strategy to consider in a pandemic. If you have a remedy that works, people will flock to it. It’s troubling that the first and only option was creating a police state.” 

Stronger language from respected journalist, Sasha Latypova, at Due Diligence and Art on Substack: “Covid operation was not a public health event, although it was presented as such to the world’s population. It was a global operation, coordinated through public-private intelligence and military alliances and invoking laws designed for CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) weapons attacks.”

Indie reporter Laura Dodsworth nailed it. Author of A State of Fear ~ How the UK Government Weaponised Fear During the COVID-19 Pandemic: “The ‘war on terror’ bridged an arc of exploitable fears between the Cold War and COVID. The weapon we find ourselves at war with has reduced in size from nuclear bomb behemoth, to weapons concealed on the body, to the body itself. The enemy shifted from a foreign government, to foreign terrorists, to every single one of us. In 2020, we became the enemy.”

We became the enemy. 

Mainstream media journalists don’t get this. And the few who’ve identified the existence of the toxic brotherhood have partisan blind spots. For example, Pulitzer prize winning journalist, Anne Applebaum, who calls them ‘Autocracy, Inc.’. In her article for the Atlantic, The Bad Guys are Winning, she writes: 

“Nowadays, autocracies are run not by one bad guy, but by sophisticated networks composed of kleptocratic financial structures, security services (military, police, paramilitary groups, surveillance) and professional propagandists. The members of these networks are connected not only within a given country, but among many countries. The corrupt, state-controlled companies in one dictatorship do business with corrupt, state-controlled companies in another. The police in one country can arm, equip, and train the police in another. The propagandists share resources—the troll farms that promote one dictator’s propaganda can also be used to promote the propaganda of another—and themes, pounding home the same messages about the weakness of democracy and the evil of America.”

Applebaum concludes that America’s network of bad guys are all in the Trump camp; the Democrats are essentially still good, she claims, but must be on guard because that goodness is eroding. Laughable, really, if it wasn’t so delusional. She does not believe that “the new autocratic alliance have a unifying ideology” so she cannot see their unifying motivations. The Panama Papers, the Epstein files and many other scandals make it plain that greed and depravity are thriving everywhere, including America. Political loyalty is performance; ideology is irrelevant; toxic brotherhoods join hands and lean into their skillsets. They do what works and they do it with impunity.  

Since many people have had enough of their insanity, the toxic brotherhood are rapidly building the tyrannical infrastructure required for their safety. The confluence of global digital ID, central bank digital currency, and artificial (fake) intelligence could herald the end of human freedom. AI is the theft of all human knowledge repackaged and sold as Official Truth; AI’s long play is China-style cognitive capture. Ai Wei Wei, Chinese artist and author of 1000 Years of Joys and Sorrows, lives in exile due to lifelong persecution: “When authority determines meaning, independent thought does not exist, and everything is an extension of the discourse of power. Young people in China today have no knowledge at all of the student protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989, and if they knew they might not even care, for they learn submission before they have developed the ability to raise doubts and challenge assumptions.”

Cognitive capture might be difficult to assess, but not so with institutional rot. So much money has migrated into biotechnology and bio-warfare that the institutions we’ve relied upon for hundreds of years are languishing. How much more inattention and entropy before they fail? We’re seeing chronic malfunction, incompetence and corruption in healthcare, medicine, food production, supply chains, education, science, environmentalism, community policing, communications, media reportage, banking, etc. Experts in their fields are in performance mode—pretending normalcy, prevaricating and obfuscating. They’re happy to deceive us, and themselves, as long as they keep benefitting.

Buckle up, a center this weak cannot hold. On the upside, we can reasonably predict that a One World Government will not transpire. Their strengths are also their weaknesses: paranoia, secrecy, competition, dominance and warring means they’re incapable of getting along. And without a redeeming vision for humanity, they’re likely to fail. But in the meantime, as they fumble toward power-sharing, our logical conclusion must be that they’re going to make some colossal mistakes.

Advice from the intrepid Whitney Webb: “If you’re aware of where they’re trying to take us, you can plan things to not have to comply. For example, plan to be as independent as possible so that nobody can wreck your sovereignty the way they started doing in COVID. Set up your life to be independent of controls. Reading is important. We’re in a cognitive war. Critical thinking, think for yourself, the more we outsource our thinking to AI, [the worse it gets]. People need to not be so easily influenced. Avoid the rage bait. The more upset and irrational people become, the closer we are to becoming slaves. What to do? Networks of local resistance, off grid living, lean into family and community.”

* Winnipeg Lab Breached by Chinese Scientists

This article was written by the brilliant forensic investigator, Andy Lee, who is on the X platform. This greatly complicates what we’ve been told about COVID, bringing into clear focus the complex web of deceit that surrounded the public messaging about the so-called vaccine. And it implicates Canada in a startling and disturbing way.

Chrétien Family Linked to Chinese Scientist Involved In Winnipeg Laboratory Breach

~ Michel Chrétien, the brother of former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, carried out research studies on deadly viruses with a Chinese-Canadian scientist removed by the RCMP.

By Andy Lee 

She was a brilliant scientist, credited as one of the researchers who helped cure Ebola. Then came the news of her sudden removal, followed by reports of virus shipments to China. No one knows where she is now, but we do know where she has been. One thing is for certain – the story of Dr. Xiangguo Qiu is a mysterious one.

The problems appeared to start in 2019.

It was that summer the news broke that Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, along with her husband Keding Cheng and a number of unidentified Chinese students, had been escorted out of the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg, Canada by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The sudden removal of Qiu on July 5, a prominent virologist who was at one time the head of the Vaccine Development and Antiviral Therapies department in the Special Pathogen Program of the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), sent shockwaves through the international community. The NML, a biosafety level-4 laboratory (BSL-4), is Canada’s only laboratory equipped to contain and deal with the world’s most deadly pathogens. One of only about 50 worldwide, it is operated by the Government of Canada through PHAC. The removal of Qiu and her colleagues was described as a “policy breach,” and assurances were given to the public that there was no safety risk. Those assurances however felt meek, particularly after Covid-19 hit in December of 2019. Qiu’s work, though centred mostly around the Ebola virus, also crossed into coronavirus research. Her husband had published research on Covid-19’s predecessor which hit Canada in 2003: Severe Acute Respiratory Virus (SARS). It had further been discovered in August of 2019 that Qiu had been collaborating with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the BSL-4 lab theorized to have been the source of a lab leak resulting in the Covid-19 pandemic. Much speculation followed. Charges were never laid in the matter however, and after having her security clearance revoked and being placed on administrative leave for almost two years, she was finally officially fired in January 2021.

The reasoning behind her firing remains murky. Access to information requests obtained by CBC showed that she had been shipping live viruses, including Ebola and Henipah, to Beijing, in March of 2019, preceding her removal from NML. Any shipments would have required the approval of PHAC however, who insisted that all relevant protocols were followed. It was never confirmed if the shipment was a part of the RCMP investigation.

While we may never know the exact reason why Qiu was escorted out that day – theories ranged from espionage concerns, to intellectual property infringement, to technical policy missteps – we do know one thing now. She united with Michel Chrétien, the brother of former Prime Minister of Jean Chrétien, to expand their joint research interests. And that research was later used in work done on novel Covid-19 therapies by Michel Chrétien in further collaboration with China down the road.

Qiu’s breakthrough came in 2013. After years of experimental research with monoclonal antibodies, a combination of three which she dubbed “ZMab” showed immense promise in protecting against oft-lethal Ebola infections. Her research paper on the subject stated “We previously demonstrated that the administration of ZMAb within 24 hours after exposure [to Ebola virus] completely protected all treated NHPs (non-human primates)” – an incredible claim against a pathogen with a mortality rate approaching ninety per cent. That Chrétien would want to work with her is hardly surprising. Her study was nothing short of a miracle.

The title of the paper detailing their joint research efforts is “Dr. Chrétien’s Love Affair With China,” and it is fascinating.

Chrétien, a researcher at the Clinical Research Institute of Montreal (IRCM), made headlines in early 2020 after it was postulated whether there may be a “made-in-Canada” solution to the coronavirus outbreak. Michel’s prior work using quercetin – a popular supplement – drew broad attention, particularly from China. His former studies had involved studying quercetin’s effectiveness in treating Ebola, which were done in conjunction with NML during the 2014 Ebola outbreak. What was not known at the time is that Qiu – the virologist later removed by the RCMP – was the scientist at NML running the experiments for him. The article details how Chrétien contacted Qiu in 2014 to run tests for him using quercetin on Ebola at the NML. After finding success in those trials, they later conducted similar investigations on Zika virus, claiming that the results were “beyond their expectations.”

There were beliefs that quercetin may also work on Covid-19, and the clinical trials commenced in China before Covid-19 was even declared a pandemic. Chrétien, an accomplished scientist who has won many awards in his field, had studied at Berkeley, and trained with Dr. Choh Hao Li. He maintained high-level connections to Chinese researchers afterward, having been granted an honorary professorship at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in the 1980s. He is also credited for bringing Chinese students to the IRCM to train at the prestigious institution. He later used those connections to contact researchers in Wuhan in February of 2020, asking if he could help by sending samples for clinical trials to test quercetin’s efficacy in treating Covid-19. A million dollars was donated by the Lazaridis Family Foundation to commence the study in February 2020. The WHO declared Covid-19 a global pandemic shortly after, on March 11, 2020.

The study was quietly scrapped and cancelled in late 2020, citing a lack of clinical subjects to test the remedy on. The claim was that the virus had been “quickly brought under control,” in China, rendering the study irrelevant as “the number of patients needed to set up clinical trials was no longer available there [in China].” Of course, today, after witnessing years of brutal-but-futile lockdowns in China put into place in a misguided government effort to mitigate the spread of the virus, we know that wasn’t true at all.

We will never know definitively what transpired at the Winnipeg NML. The Liberal government has made sure of that, taking the extraordinary step to kill any investigation by suing the House Speaker to block the release of records regarding the firing of Qiu and her husband.”It appears that what you might well call Chinese agents infiltrated one of the highest prized national security elements when it comes to biosecurity and biodefence,” said Christian Leuprecht, a security expert and professor at the Royal Military College.

We know that Qiu, originally from and trained in China, sent live viral samples to Beijing, and that she was a key asset in building relationships with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Her trips to China were well-known and documented, and hardly clandestine in nature. She took five trips to the Wuhan Institute of Virology through 2017-2018 alone, following its approval as a BSL-4 facility in 2017. PHAC and the Government of Canada were certainly aware of her activities and were encouraging not just her, but others to forge closer ties to Chinese researchers. Was she releasing information to scientists working for the Chinese government during those trips? Almost certainly. They were research partners. Was she doing it without the full knowledge and grace of PHAC, and running afoul of protocols or treading into espionage territory? Difficult to say. Only she, and maybe a handful of others, know.

One thing that we can say for certain is that her investigations in her field were invaluable, likely changing millions of lives, and that it appears that the groundwork she helped to lay not just in Ebola, but in quercetin research, conjointly with Michel Chrétien, had immeasurable potential that was unfortunately never realized. We will never get answers on why his study in China, later confirmed to show promise in treating Covid-19, was cancelled, just as we will never be told why CanSino abandoned early trials on vaccine research with Canadian scientists.

The other lesson to be learned is that we have to be more cautious with how we approach research and development projects with the Chinese government. Stricter protocols and guidelines are necessary to define intellectual property boundaries. Qiu’s name appeared on numerous research papers done in conjunction with the Academy of Military Science in China, as well as on several patents submitted to the China National Intellectual Property Administration. Is this where the trouble started? Projects and partnerships need to be carefully monitored by PHAC going forward to defend national security interests, and even while PHAC was acutely aware of Qiu’s work with with Chinese researchers, she still somehow ended up barred from one of our top laboratory facilities. Did she get caught up in an intellectual property battle by transferring research to the Chinese government? And Chrétien’s cancelled quercetin trials – which barely even made the news – should certainly serve as an advisory notice for Canadian workers who carry out research with China, only to have those projects inexplicably shelved for dubious reasons.

As for the the sad story of Qiu, an incredible Chinese-Canadian virologist who helped to cure Ebola, it appears that the answers to those questions will remain tightly locked in the vault of Covid-era secrets, along with many others. It should be the strongest precautionary tale to Canada of them all however; whatever else she may have been, she was a genius in her field, and it is hard to argue that what happened to her should be described as anything other than a tragic loss for all.

* COVID WAS A PLANDEMIC

Did you know that tabletop wargaming has been going on for decades? Or that sociopathic so-called ‘scientists’ are busy beavering away in military-funded labs around the world, including Wuhan, China, making bioweapons because ‘their enemies’ might do it first? And did you know that over the decades the pharmaceutical industry has been captured by militaristic paranoia? If your answers are ‘No’ then it’s time to do some research.

You could start here with Whitney Webb’s timely article providing background and context.

TWO MONTHS BEFORE COVID WAS ANNOUNCED, key players gathered for Event 201 to make plans to manage a global pandemic. Two months later, like magic, a “deadly” virus arrives, coordinated global lockdowns roll out smoothly, and world’s people were terrorized into compliance. We had to take an experimental jab filled with ‘new technology’ junk they sold as “safe and effective”.

The following are excerpts from ‘The Real Anthony Fauci’ by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Exhaustively researched and annotated, scrupulous attention to facts and documentation, it’s the kind of revelatory book that only comes along once in a century. I read the 450+ page book TWICE so you don’t have to.

“Participants included a group of high-ranking kahunas from the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, Bloomberg/Johns Hopkins University, the CDC, various media powerhouses, the Chinese government, a former CIA/NSA director, vaccine maker Johnson & Johnson, the globe’s largest pharmaceutical company; finance and biosecurity industry chieftains, and the president of Edelman, the world’s largest PR firm.

“War games became instruments for imposing obedience. Dark Winter, Atlantic Storm, and Global Mercury were only three of over a dozen Germ Games staged by military, medical, and intelligence planners leading up to COVID-19. Each of the Kafkaesque exercises became uncanny predictors of a dystopian age that pandemic planners dubbed the ‘New Normal’.”

“The consistent feature is an affinity for militarizing medicine and introducing centralized autocratic governance. Each rehearsal ends with the same grim punchline: the global pandemic is an excuse to justify the imposition of tyranny and coerced vaccination.

“The panelists role-played strategies for co-opting the world’s most influential political institutions, subverting democratic governance, and positioning themselves as unelected rulers of the emerging authoritarian regime. They practised techniques for ruthlessly controlling dissent, expression and movement, and degrading civil rights, autonomy, and sovereignty. The Gates simulation focused on deploying the usual psyops retinue of propaganda, surveillance, censorship, isolation, and political and social control to manage the pandemic. The official eighty-nine page summary is a miracle of fortune-telling—an uncannily precise month-by-month prediction of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.”

“After 9/11, “the War on Terror triggered a tectonic shift in global security priorities and elephantine ripples in defense spending patterns across the globe as open democracies began shifting to a security state footing. The revival in US government interest in germ warfare opened new opportunities. The US bio-defense budget went from $137 million in 1997 to $14.5 billion for 2001-2004. Between 2001 and 2014, the US spent around $80 billion on bio-defense. Since germ weaponry was still illegal, vaccines became a critical euphemism for the revival of the multi-billion dollar bioweapons industry.”    

“The Pentagon could not get into compliance with the Biological Weapons Convention which limited the Pentagon’s freedom to undertake new research programs, particularly those referred to as “the leading edge of bio-defense”. So then-VP Dick Cheney transferred the Pentagon’s research to the National Institutes of Health, specifically to NIAID. By 2004, the transfer was complete and NIAID was transformed into an arm of the defense sector. This made NIAID Director Anthony Fauci a  major player in biodefense and germ warfare.” 

[During his first term] Trump’s Health officials complained “that they found themselves marginalized as Operation Warp Speed devolved into a partnership between the military and the pharmaceutical industry.”  Physician and biological warfare expert, Meryl Nass, MD.: “Coercion should be the last strategy to consider in a pandemic. If you have a remedy that works, people will flock to it. It’s troubling that the first and only option was creating a police state.”  

 

* IVERMECTIN won the Nobel Prize

You know three things for sure when your local pharmacist publishes dis/misinformation about Ivermectin. 

1) S/he isn’t well informed. 

2) S/he is owned by big pharma and must repeat the official corporate line we all heard during the COVID scamdemic: ‘Ivermectin is for horses and anybody who would take it is basically stupid and bestial.’ 

3) They must think we’re all really, really dumb.

The Truth About Ivermectin: 

Ivermectin won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2015 for Physiology and Medicine; it’s been used for decades on humans and is one of the most effective drugs ever made. It has one of the highest safety ratings and one of the lowest injury/side effect profile. Though it’s particularly effective on ridding the body of parasites, many claim it has more positive benefits to health.

The reason big pharma didn’t want people trying IVERMECTIN during the COVID scamdemic, instead of their garbage mRNA gene altering concoction, was, of course, all about $$$$$ and power.  

Ivermectin, like many other drugs, is now a free market drug, meaning that the pharma patent on it has expired, meaning that without patent protection the drug is a free agent, it can be replicated by drug manufacturers who are free to sell it at a lower price. 

Questions arise: if a pharmacist were to go rogue and start telling people the truth, would s/he lose her licence to dispense pharma products and maybe her/his Pharmasave franchise, too? Just asking.

* WHAT BAD MOVIE IS THIS?

(courtesy of Connecting the Dots newsletter, February 2025)

Most people prefer going along to get along, which is understandable. But our children’s future is calling on us to educate ourselves. Traditional political and democratic structures are coming off the rails. This iceberg meme illustrates the dark agenda bearing down on us. Those who don’t understand it—and don’t realize that COVID serves its agenda—are dangerously uninformed.

(Anti-vax? Didn’t used to be: I’ve had 40 , 20 during school, 19 for travels. The 40th—sold as new “safe and effective” mRNA technology—damaged my cardiac function and hastened my father’s death. ~ Troy)

Since 1986, pharmaceutical companies have total legal immunity from the injuries and deaths their products cause; greed is flourishing within vaccine science and all medical agencies. In 2020:

500 new billionaires were created during COVID, one every 17 hours!

The world’s ten richest men, notably Bill Gates, doubled their fortunes.

The greatest transfer of wealth in history has occurred; incomes of 99% of humanity fell.

The same people who made the so-called vaccine also demanded global lock downs. They own everything and want total control, too. What did we hear repeatedly during COVID? It was time for “The Great Reset”; their absurd, anti-human agenda will tear down society. Their goal for us, (but not them): we “own nothing and be happy”.

When we watch movies like the Hunger Games, Divergent, The Handmaid’s Tale, or Mad Max, we know what side we’re on. But then, in real life, when so many signals are pointing toward tyranny, we aren’t seeing it—because corporate-owned media isn’t reporting. Instead, we are distracted, fearful, tribal and fighting among ourselves. Ignorance and emotional confusion are by design.

Anyone still believing those at the top are working for our well-being needs to wake up.

Why is freedom of speech under attack? Blacklock’s Reporter discovered Liberal Minister Karina Gould paid researchers nearly $370,000 to discourage media and the public from questioning authority. If we can’t question authority, then we can’t reveal bad laws or shoddy vaccines. We can’t alert our fellow citizens…and despots get into power and stay there. They decide and we obey. Without free speech, all other rights disappear. Right now, those speaking up are being silenced, censored, debanked, jailed—or worse. We’re living in one of those dangerous times they teach about in history class.

What to do? Manage our information terrain. Learn to recognize brainwashing and propaganda. Find high quality news and information. Follow independent journalists. Be skeptical. Research. Verify. Use the power of the internet.    Very important for divided families to heal and come back together! Conversations from the heart will lead to new awareness. And it begins with forgiveness; everyone has made mistakes. When our communities get back to normal, we’ll be better able to protect the future for our children’s children’s children.   



* UPDATE: Class Action Lawsuit

Former Lillooet Hospital Worker, Monica Krenbrink: 

“I would like to highly encourage people who were affected by the PHO Vaccine Mandate to join the UHCWBC Society.  Whether you were terminated, retired early, quit or you’re still an employee (or had an adverse reaction to any of the shots or feel you had no choice).  Please support this class action lawsuit. Or if you are a BC Public Service Worker join the BCPSEF Society. Do your research and learn about these 2 Class Action Lawsuits, get information and connect with like-minded people.”

The following are excerpts from the summary of 5-day Certification Hearing April 28th to May 2, 2025

Recently in court, legal counsel introduced two actions on behalf of unionized B.C. public servants and healthcare workers, highlighting their transition from being hailed as “heroes” early in the COVID-19 pandemic to being treated as “public enemies” due to vaccine mandate non-compliance. The fear generated during the pandemic was noted as a conditioning factor, necessitating a careful, evidence-based examination of the mandates’ legality and impacts.

Plaintiffs alleged that Dr. Bonnie Henry and the B.C. government acted in bad faith, with reckless indifference or willful blindness, by issuing mandates unsupported by scientific data on vaccine efficacy in preventing transmission. Madame Justice Burke sought a thorough presentation of the facts and legal basis; 10 more days of hearings are expected.

The Plaintiffs claimed the mandates’ true objective was political compliance, not public health, causing s. 2(d) Charter violations, financial loss, and emotional trauma.

Core Allegations:

  • The PHO’s orders, issued under the Public Health Act (PHA), mandated vaccination despite evidence that vaccines did not prevent infection or transmission, constituting misfeasance in public office (Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC 69).
  • For healthcare workers, the PHO’s actions induced breaches of employment contracts by compelling employers to exclude unvaccinated staff (Canada Steamship Lines Inc. v Elliott, 2006 FC 609).
  • Counsel cited recent Federal Court decisions (Hill v Canada, 2025 FC 242; Payne v Canada, 2025 FC 5) that allowed similar claims to proceed at the certification stage.

Defendants argued that the claims should be resolved through labour arbitration but Plaintiffs countered that the B.C. Supreme Court retains jurisdiction because the mandates were unilateral state actions that altered employment contracts, violating s. 2(d) Charter rights.

Next Steps:

Despite five days of hearings, the Plaintiffs’ submissions remain incomplete. Madame Justice Emily Burke has sought a thorough presentation of the facts and legal basis, and our counsel (@uasind) has adeptly navigated the complex interplay of constitutional, tort, labour law, and civil procedure. 

An additional 10 days of hearings are expected to be scheduled later in 2025 to conclude the Plaintiffs’ submissions and hear the Defendants’ response. 


* Dr. Hoffe Speaks the Truth

Everything we need to know in this lengthy interview. This courageous doctor from Lytton has been at the forefront of the fight against those who would decimate world population, collapse our economies and usher in the era of tyranny.

If you balk at this, it’s your duty to so some research so you can know for sure if what you believe is what the media told you to believe and if you’ve been lied to — we must do research for the future of the children and the grandchildren. Start here, start now. The truth shall prevail.

“The problem is that people are still too trusting.” ~ Dr. Hoffe

Maybe it’s time to start a brand new health care system. Using the word “health” has become deeply ironic within the current degraded state of the pharma industrial complex. Pushing ineffective, harmful products on BABIES is species-level insanity. We must insist on a better way forward.


* Enjoying the Cognitive Warfare?

Divided communities like Lillooet are the result of prolonged cognitive warfare. Such a dangerous time for any of us to believe we’re well-informed. We’ve all been caught napping, believing “the elites” aren’t too bad, they’re looking out for us, everything will be okay. Well everything is definitely not okay.


Wasn’t that long ago the press were watchdogs, nipping the heels of the rich, powerful, famous and infamous. Journalists earned respect by gathering the facts then outing incompetence, corruption, malfeasance, chicanery, etc. The plain old-fashioned terrain of human foibles and occasional savagery.

Today, the mainstream press are lapdogs. Social media seduces ambitious reporters into becoming influencers with successfully monetized personalities. Corporate media hires only those who’ve learned to bark professionally—that is, superficially committed to truth and facts, willing to yap but only with careful attention to the directives of those who feed them. Lazy, obedient hounds.

 “If the people in the media cannot decide whether they’re in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand the difference, and choose their news sources accordingly.”  Thomas Sewell

Because the old media is owned by a small number of people, it functions as their central command. This is how their propaganda works: news is characterized by narrow focus messaging which keeps the audience on track; social controls are achieved by pushing only those stories that are acceptable and silencing/ignoring those stories which are not. The sports fan model is used: position the news inside the Us versus Them binary; foster team spirit and push partisan loyalty; feed emotional commitment to the stories being told; stoke the pride that comes from tribe identification; make sure your audience believes they’re among the top tier which is inhabited by the smartest and best informed.

Information used to be highly centralized, now due to the internet it’s completely decentralized and a majority of people are diversifying their information sources. If everything we believe comes from the silo of old established media—especially the CBC, CTV, Global news cabal—we’re stuck inside an information ghetto and being turned into a low information subclass. Estimates of those still watching the CBC are as low as 6%. That small minority are being carefully tended, like golden sheep inside a corral. They keep the house of cards from falling—but just barely. This is why we’re seeing so many ludicrous accusations of misinformation and far right extremism.

Power is concentrated into the hands of the few; the top of the pyramid contains so much wealth it’s being called the new feudalism. Science has become secretive and overtaken by greed and militarism. Vaccinology is driven by reckless experimentation. Old media is their propaganda delivery system–and COVID was the penultimate expression of these problems and why we must never allow that to happen again.

Mental note: many of the people who refused the untested, experimental jab did so because they already know all of this. Now we go down the rabbit hole. Time to don your tin foil hat.   

Information warfare, coupled with psychological warfare, has its roots in military strategy; decades of playing tabletop war games means the cognitive warfare industry has mushroomed. Dark Winter, Atlantic Storm, Crimson Contagion, Global Mercury, SPARS Pandemic. Catastrophic Contagion wargame details point by point, it’s a chilling document. Event 201 in 2019 held at Johns Hopkins University turned out to be the wargame blueprint for COVID. Read the blueprint, they aren’t hiding it.

Personally organized by Bill Gates, Event 201 was “a training and signalling exercise for government bio-security functionaries. This war game consisted of four tabletop simulations of a worldwide coronavirus pandemic. Participants included a group of high-ranking kahunas from the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, Bloomberg/Johns Hopkins University Populations Center, the CDC, various media powerhouses, the Chinese government, a former CIA/NSA director, vaccine maker Johnson & Johnson, the globe’s largest pharmaceutical company; finance and bio-security industry chieftains, and the president of Edelman, the world’s largest PR firm.” (The Real Anthony Fauci ~ Bill Gates, Big Pharma and the Global War Against Democracy and Public Health by Robert F.Kennedy Jr. p. 425 A must read!)

The wargame propaganda complex is driven by paranoia and funded by some very deep pockets.

“They practised techniques for ruthlessly controlling dissent, expression and movement, and degrading civil rights, autonomy, and sovereignty. The Gates simulation focused on deploying the usual psyops retinue of propaganda, surveillance, censorship, isolation, and political and social control to manage the pandemic. The official eighty-nine page summary is a miracle of fortune-telling—an uncannily precise month-by-month prediction of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic as it actually unfolded.” (ibid. p. 414)

When you read their documents, wargamers always claim that the world is not prepared for pandemic-style emergencies–what they mean is they’re lusting for more power and control. Their claims aside, in fact the COVID response was exceedingly well prepared—all media saying the exact same things, all governments towing the line (Sweden being the exception), the medical industrial complex all working in tandem, top to bottom. Health Canada completely captured. Propaganda campaigns ran effectively and continuously on all the old media platforms and nearly everyone bought in. The Canadian military even got into the game.

Respected physician and biological warfare expert, Meryl Nass, MD.: “Coercion should be the last strategy to consider in a pandemic. If you have a remedy that works, people will flock to it. It’s troubling that the first and only option was creating a police state.” (RFKJ. p. 382)

Further down the rabbit hole.

Virus f*ckery—otherwise called “gain of function” research—is completely out of control. 1000 words can be written about this alone. Gain-of-function means taking a virus and altering it so that it becomes more dangerous, even lethal. Justification for doing this comes from the darkness of military paranoia: better to have all weapons in your arsenal just in case your enemy has it first. COVID underwent gain-of-function experimentation before it escaped the Wuhan lab–if escaping was what actually happened…

Further down.

We’ve all heard about the Wuhan lab but we never hear about rogue labs. The wargamers are obsessed with bio-security because, in part, they know that chemical and biological weapons are being made in underground rogue labs all over the world. Yes, as if things aren’t unstable enough, “the science” is now populated with horror show experimentation. Cloning, gene splicing, biochemical weaponry, a host of evils all going on beneath the radar. Nobody wants to acknowledge this let alone talk publicly about it! Nevertheless, the WHO has discussed the problem.

They have lost control of science and the scientific method. The wild wild west prevails. From the twisted minds employed in cognitive warfare, this fear porn: mother nature is not the nurturing force which gives us life, mother nature is malevolent and generates deadly pathogens which repeatedly threaten our existence. Humanity is to place all its trust in these psychopaths instead.

Now they’re making highly transmissible vaccines—they’re called “self-spreading”. Test trials have been done on the aged in Japan. Since there doesn’t appear to be any way of getting rid of these reckless idiots, and since the line has blurred between so-called “accepted science” and “horror show science”, we’ll be lucky if the insanity stops just shy of them turning us all into morons and Frankensteins.

Why, oh why, don’t the good guys prevail in positions of power??
