This is what our education system has become = a place for leftist advocacy and indoctrination. If you put your kids in the public school system, this is what you are sending them into.

I hear some parents say that it’s all OK because they talk to their children at home. That’s not enough! You give your children over to the state and make the state an authority figure for 7 or 8 hours a day, and you think that a 5 minute talk once in a while will offset what that authority is teaching? You’re delusional.

Every topic, especially those in the ‘social studies’ and ‘histories’ will be taught through the filter of leftist activism. Deviant behaviour and obscure ‘progressives’ will be pushed as great while Christian heroes and upright moral people will be downplayed or outright ignored.

You have to pull your kids out of the system. It’s the only way to protect them from the satanic and disgusting filth these sub-humans want to put in the minds of your children.

More on this particular activist here.

Isolation seems to be the only way that a close-contact pandemic can be stopped.  With isolation comes many limits on our liberty.  School and business closings, sports leagues shutting down … basically anywhere people gather in large numbers in close proximity to each other.  These make sense in terms of slowing transmission rates and eventually burning this one out.

However, in times like these, people who desire power and control rise to the surface.  They will enact punitive laws and restrict freedom, all in the name of ‘public safety.’ Following are some of examples of people in positions of leadership capitalizing on this virus scare to take away liberties:

City Cousel of Champaign, Illinois ‘Emergency ‘ Power Grab

The Mayor and City Counsel of Champaign, Illinois gave themselves sweeping powers to take away all basic freedoms from the people of Champaign.  These include, for some reason, restricting the sale or distribution of firearms, alcohol and fuel.  The City Attorney, Fred Stavins was practically gleeful (as far as lawyers get gleeful) as he listed the various powers he wanted to control and restrict … all in careful lawyer speak.  You can see his speech to council here.

Copy of the Ordinance Related to the Emergency Created by the Impact of the COVID-19 Virus. Page 8 is where the list of new powers and restrictions begin.  It’s quite the list.

Now why would firearms be added to the list of things restricted to help stop a virus?  There is only one logical scenario:  they are worried that as they take away peoples freedoms, the people might resist; civil unrest.  Nothing about guns or ammunition have anything to do with the virus … nothing!  This is an anticipatory law enacted under the guise of ‘widespread impacts on the health of members of the community.’

The Champaign-Urbana Public Health Administrator Julie Pryde, doubled down the next day claiming that these sweeping powers were needed for the health and safety of the people and that citizens should just trust her with these powers:

That’s why people need to trust us. I’ve been doing this over 25 years. … Everybody working on this is working very hard and doing their very best.

Council member Tom Bruno admits its a broad list, but insists that:

(restricting) the temporary sale of firearms” is necessary to “protect the citizens from an infectious virus. 

This would be laughable if it wasn’t so evil. 

Latoya Cantrell, Mayor of New Orleans, Louisiana Declares a State of Emergency Limiting Sale or Movement of Firearms, Fuel and Alcohol

Much like the Champaign City Counsel, the mayor of New Orleans, Latoya Cantrell has given herself power over “alcoholic beverages, firearms, explosives, and combustibles.”

Other measures such as evacuation routes, closure of government offices, etc. all make perfect sense in the light of an infectious disease issue … the restriction on firearms, alcohol and fuel does not.  This is strictly about control and removing power from people and placing it solely in the hands of government officials.   

Read her declaration of power grab here.

This, of course hearkens back to the gun confiscation that New Orleans implemented during Hurricane Katrina.  If they are allowed to do it once, in the case of a true emergency, then next time they will do it in the case of a possible emergency.  This is how power works … it chips away at freedom, bits at a time till you are completely powerless and ‘they’ have all the power.  

Not seeing much about this one in the news … yet.

Hoboken, New Jersey Mayor Ravinder Bhalla Enacts a Citywide Nighttime Curfew

Yes, this virus is particularly virulent at night, so we must restrict your movements at night.  Or so the thinking goes.  

Hoboken, NJ has imposed a citywide curfew from 10pm to 5am.

Again, I think people understand the restrictions based on group gatherings to try to slow transmission, but forcing people to stay in their homes at night by law is a whole other thing.  This has nothing to do with ‘public heath’ and everything to do with power and control of the people.  

Interesting to note that this curfew is not listed on the City of Hoboken website yet (today being March 15, around noon.)  It has simply been given straight to the media. 

As I find more government power grabs over freedoms not related to the virus, I’ll post them here.

It’s hard to find up to date data on the infection rates here in Canada and the Provincial numbers don’t seem to match the Gov of Canada numbers, but for what they are worth, here are links to the various Government sites in Canada.

1st a few words about fear.  The vast majority of the breathless panting about Coronavirus is fear based.  This fear is basically a feedback loop: the more you panic and work yourself up, the greater your fear.  Almost every problem we as humans deal with when it comes to stress and worry is based on the fear feedback loop.  

There are many methods one can use to break fear.  As Christians, our greatest weapon against fear is faith and prayer.  The calm one feels when we acknowledge Gods control can instantly relieve the fear.  He is in control, not us and if He determines the time has come, do you think you can stop it? 

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart … Proverbs 3:5

In addition to faith, if you decide to take a cold analytical approach to what you fear, you will often discovour the irrationality of your fears.  Ask yourself questions to get your analytical brain going.  Questions like:

• What is the worst that could happen?
• What is my actual risk here?
• If [feared event] actually comes to pass, can I do things to mitigate the damage? 

Basically, any questions that cause you to rationally approach the problem. 

Another approach to fighting fear is writing … or more specifically list making.  Once you allow your brain to free range over a problem by trying to create a list of some sort, fear is relieved.  For instance:

• List of supplies on hand
• List of friends and family you can call for help
• To Do lists
• List of plans based on scenarios. ie. if A happens, then we follow list X … if B happens, then we go with list Z.

Reviewing such lists, adding notes as they come to you and generally curating your writing are all calming, rational activities that can get you back into the cold, calculating mindset you want to have in the face of danger.

Nothing spreads like Fear:

So my first impressions of Coronavirus after dismissing the hype and panic is that it is the common flu with a helping of special sauce.  Humans have been fighting off the flu for 1000’s of years … and this one is more or less the same as what we’ve been through before.  

The only question that might throw a wrench into the mix is if it is a genetically modified or manufactured virus.  I don’t know enough about genetics to offer an opinion, but I highly doubt it.  Enough people have recovered from CV for me to doubt humans created this as a weapon.  If they did, it’s pretty badly made … typical Walmart Chinese garbage as far as biological weapons go.  So, I’m going with this NOT being a weapon, and just approach it as any other flu during flu season.  The fear is the actual weapon if anything.  

Our family preparations are split into two categories.  

1. Dealing with the virus itself and illness
2. What to do about the fear and panic that is breaking down the supply chains

 

Dealing with the Virus

Avoiding transmission

We are actually doing very little about the virus itself.  No masks or body suits, none of that nonsense.  So far the virus has not come to our little piece of paradise, so we go about our days in a normal way.  If the virus shows up within 100 kms of here we will implement the following:

Postpone until major threat is passed:

• flights anywhere
• theaters
• restaurants
• sporting events
• shopping malls (@Cabelas excepted … for now.)

Basically anywhere people congregate in numbers and in close proximity to each other.  

If the virus shows up in our local community, we will simply stay home and close the gates.  We are equipped to live comfortably for at least 2 months with our stocks and freezers.  We homeschool. No contact with outside people needed.  Visitors will not feel welcome once they come down the driveway.  Simple.  Stay away.

If we get sick

Symptoms will be treated as needed.  Care will be provided by 1 family member only.  Others will be kept separate.  

Vitamin C.  This is where we likely differ from many people prepping for this one.  We have huge stockpiles of Vit C.  Study after study, many of them from the 40’s and 50’s indicate that large doses of Vit C seems to kill most viral infections.  Of course, the public is generally unaware of this and there are few modern studies or recommendations … because there is no money in it.  ‘They’ … ((follow the money,)) want to sell us drugs, not tell us how to self-treat.  This Study provides the dosage we will use if needed.  That’s it.  We are generally healthy people.  We spend lots of time outdoors in the sun and are an active family.  We have strong immune systems.  We will rely on Vit C and good living to fight this infection if needed.

Supply Chain Breakdown

This is where we are spending a little more time in our preps.  Panicked people will always lead to irrational behaviour.  With irrational behaviour comes breaks in the chains of supply.  Companies may not be able to get raw goods needed for manufacture. Their employees may be staying home to avoid getting sick, or because they are sick.  Shelves will not be restocked if nobody is there to stock them.  So I expect there to be shortages in a few areas … mostly the essentials.

I’m not worried about this.  We keep months of essentials on hand anyway.  We bought a few extra rolls of shit tickets, some extra cans of stew, etc.  Nothing crazy, just making sure we had more than enough to live well for a while.  

Vox Day pointed out in one of his streams at Unauthorized.TV that he had stocked up on wine.  There was no way he was going to be uncomfortable, or change his life if things in Italy got shut down.  I hadn’t thought of that … so I also stocked up on some of our luxury items.  Coffee.  Chocolate chips. Diet Soda. Some extra condiments.  Just things that make the good life … good. 

Fuel.  I have five 5 Gallon gasoline jugs that are now all filled.  I rotate the fuel in them into our vehicles and keep them filled.  If/when the gas stations start running dry, there will be a run on fuel.  We’ve seen it before, especially in Toronto during the 2003 Blackout. I won’t be sitting in long lineups for $20 of fuel … nope. 

We have a 1000 watt Yamaha generator at home that we can fire up to keep the freezers frozen if the power goes out.  We also have a completely self contained camper complete with solar power which we can also bring into play if we need to keep the lights on.  Basically, we have enough backup power to run anything that might need running if there was a prolonged blackout. 

Propane.  I have 3 full 30 lb jugs.  Enough to run the grill and camper stovetop for months if needed.

Medicine.  I hate this part of preps.  Pray. 

That is our family plan.  A few extras above and beyond our regular stocks.  A few plans if the virus comes knocking. Other than that = no fear.

Spring will be here soon.  Garden will need to be planted.  That means sunshine, exercise and all the other things that build healthy people and strong immune systems. 

What’s your plan?

In what can only be described as Clown World, (we Canadians call it Nova Scotia,) the Provincial government would like to remind you that it is illegal to discriminate against people based on “Irrational fear of contracting an illness or disease.”

They even issued a press release about discrimination and urges people who feel they have been discriminated against based on being sick to contact the Human Rights Commission.  

As a reminder, here is a list of the protected peoples of Nova Scotia:

Yup … Clown World.

Taking a quick look at the Canadian stats on Covid-19 this morning, we can see that 82% of the infections are due to travel.  Either people have brought the virus here, or people who brought the virus here infected those living here.

In Manitoba, we currently have 15 cases of confirmed Covid-19 and 14 of the 15 were exposed through recent travel. 

So, if this virus is spread by travel, it would seem to any sane, logical person that there is a simple solution.

Stop Travel.

This virus has been spread to the world by the luxury of travel and the incessant need for people to be going to and fro around the world.  Those who can afford to travel like this are bringing this disease back to those who can’t travel.  Immigrants who are not committed to Canada, continue to go ‘home’ to visit and bring the disease back. The luxury of foreign travel is currently the carrier, the vector of Covid-19.

If the western nations had closed their borders when we first heard of this thing in China, we could have stopped it in it’s tracks.  However, that goes 100% against the globalist agenda and so that was not … no, could not, be done.  Even now, when the evidence is clear that travel is the main thing spreading the disease, our overlords will not stop travel.  Oh, they make big words, saying they are closing the border to travel … “except for,” and then they list all the exceptions to the rule.  And the flights continue, and illegal immigrants still walk across our borders with the police carrying their bags, and industry still ships goods … and people still get sick. 

Interesting to note in Scripture that going ‘to and fro’ (travel) is never associated with anything positive.  In fact, it is associated with end times in Daniel.

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Dan 12:4

I don’t read anything more into this passage, but we certainly live in an age of travel and the spread of knowledge through the internet.  

The restlessness of going to and fro is associated with Satan in Job.  Further, Gods Word is full of family, and peoples, and nations.  We are meant to live in our place, in the place God has placed you, and to build your family and your local Church and to be available for your neighbour.  We are never instructed to rove the earth.  In fact the wandering of the Children of Israel in the wilderness was a punishment.

Back to CoronaVirus.  Lets really close the border … and anybody who HAS to come to Canada = forced quarantine. Lock ’em up until we know they are not going to infect us. 

Of course it’s too late now, but the next time the Chinese Communist Party decides to spread a pandemic around the world, we should do the right thing. 

Wishful thinking.  Globalism will not do it.  Globalists will be doing globalism … no matter how many die. 

This man wants to ID you.  He wants you to submit to a system of identification and certification and Covid-19 seems like the perfect excuse to execute his plan.

Speaking on at an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit yesterday, Gates suggested that people should be issued ‘digital certificates’ to indicate their Covid-19 status and vaccine records. Who knows what a digital certificate looks like, but it’s really not hard to imagine him wanting to use his digital ID company to record it somehow.  ID2020, of which Bill Gates is a founding member has stated its goal is to create an ID for every human on earth.  

What would be the purpose of such a ‘certificate’ (whatever form it takes?)  Would it be used to deny service … or deny, say government funding … or to deny a job?  Or would it be used to round up the ‘deniers?’  Or maybe as a method of segregation?  Seriously … what would be it’s purpose other than to group and control people?  

Now lets roll a little farther down the rabbit hole. If your ‘certificate’ was part of a ‘digital ID’ AND then all the digital data that’s been collected on you over the years was added to the digital ID, they would have the ultimate tool to categorize you into your assigned group.  After all, everything today is about your group politics and identity.  (I’m a white, male, Christian … the lowest of the low.)  Who is collecting your digital data?  Really, the easier question is, who isn’t.

• Google – the worst of the bunch because we give them everything in exchange for free software
• Facebook – where you live. Who you are …  with pics
• Instagram – oops … owned by FB.  Lets pool that data together
• Twitter – Jack knows where you’ve been, when and who was with you
• Amazon – who watches over your shoulder as you read … and keeps a record of everything you buy or even look at
• Your ISP – You think they don’t track your every online move?
• Android/Apple Phone.  You know it’s physically tracking everywhere you go, right?

OK, this is just a small list of the major data collectors … and we give them everything.  Now, put all that data on your digital ID, combine it with your ‘health data’ (Covid-19 status) and the world social graph is complete.  ‘They’ … maybe even ((They)) will control everything in your life from health care access, food … where you live … what you can buy.  Everything. (Sound familiar Christians?)

And Covid-19 is the perfect excuse to start it rolling … 

Don’t give in.  You are who God created … they can’t have you, you are already His.  You can’t serve two masters.  Resist this ‘certificate.’  Resist the ‘digital ID.’  It might even be time to cut off some of the major data collectors in your life. 

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not.  Eccl 12:1

 

The Biblical book of Proverbs is full of instruction for everyday life … 

It also contains instruction for when times are troubled, as we are experiencing now.  There are two Proverbs I would like to highlight in light of Covid-19:

First. Proverbs 27:12

A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

Prudent = Sensible, Shrewd and Subtle.  Is this you?  Are you looking ahead and seeing the possible paths you might find yourself on?  Are you in the middle of 7 years of excess, but facing 7 years of famine as Joseph was? How prudent have you been in the face of CoronaVirus?  

What is to be our response to forseeing evil?  Hiding.  Prep for those 7 years of famine.  Prep for whatever might come at you.  Keeping your head down and hiding in your place.  This is God’s Word, God’s instruction to us. 

Don’t be Simple … don’t go headlong into danger.  You will be punished.

The 2nd Proverb that seems to apply today is found in the same chapter.

Proverbs 27:1

Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

God is in control.  Your prep won’t save you.  Your TP means nothing. Your pantry, your food stores, your silver stacks are nothing.  All your ‘skillz’ are laughable in the face of God.  Don’t boast in your preparations for rainy days.  You have no clue what is on the horizon, much less what is on your doorstep.  

Prepare, but understand that your prep is NOT what will save you.  God, if He decides to save you, will do so … it is not what you’ve done but what He will do.

Pray.  Trust … His will for us is best.  Always.

Edit 1 Apr 27, 2020:

Since I wrote what you find below, 2 important pieces of information about Tam’s incompetence and her China Communist leanings have come out.  1st a video from 2010 where she explains how to lockdown people (kinda like how China did during their outbreak.)

Original YouTube Video clip is here.  I direct uploaded it for when it gets memory holed. The full movie called “Outbreak” is still up on YouTube here.

Then Rebel News discovered that Tam knew as early as Jan 15, 2020 that transmission was not only possible, but probably from human to human.  For weeks after that she continued to tell us the opposite because that is what China and the WHO wanted to tell us. Check out the Rebel Media Video here:

The evidence is all out in the open:  Both the incompetence and the representing China to Canada (rather than the other way around) are obvious to anyone not blinded by Liberal propaganda.  She has cost many Canadian lives and should be held accountable.

EDIT 2 Apr 28, 2020

Just a quick edit to give a bit of a timeline about the actions of the China controlled WHO and how VERY bad their information has been (listed pulled from Sovereign Man):

December 31: China first notifies WHO of the outbreak

January 5: WHO “does not recommend any specific measures for travellers” and “advises against the application of any travel or trade restrictions on China”

January 23: Even as China begins its lockdown of Wuhan and the virus spreads across Asia, WHO still insists “it is still too early to declare a PHEIC” [Public Health Emergency of International Concern].

January 30: WHO still “does not recommend any travel or trade restriction” and praises the Chinese government’s “commitment to transparency.”

February 27: After many countries began introducing travel restrictions, WHO lamented that these restrictions would lead to “unnecessary interference with international traffic, including negative repercussions on the tourism sector.”

March 11: After more than 100,000 cases in dozens of countries worldwide, WHO finally declares this a global pandemic.

Oh I almost forgot: the WHO is the same organization that made a brutal murderer– former Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe– one of its GOODWILL ambassadors! You can’t make this stuff up.

This is who our ‘top Dr.’ Tam answers to … and who she is so deeply embedded with.  (Killing Canadians!)

---

Now onto the Original Post.

This week, Derek Sloan, MPP for Hastings-Lennox & Addington, dared ask out loud what many, many Canadians are wondering about in the backs of their minds.

Link to Derek’s Video on Facebook.

The main statement of question is, “Does Dr. Theresa Tam Work for China or for Canada.”

Only in the current Progressive clown world is this a racist statement.  Lets use our brains and a bit of logic/common sense while we look at some facts:

• China is the origin of COVID-19
• China has it’s tentacles deep into the WHO (ya, a CNN link … lol.  Even they have questions!)
• Dr. Tam is a member of WHO and appears to be pretty high up the ladder of authority.
• Dr. Tam has parroted virtually everything the China and the WHO has said regarding COVID-19 … most of which has been wrong.  Once can only assume Canadians are dead because of her recommendations. 

Notice what you don’t see in this brief history of facts = her race!  

Lets look at it another way.  If her name had been … lets say, Karen Smith … would anyone say it was racist?  If this was said about Justin Trudeau (not a hard stretch at this point,) would it be racist?  Nope.  Only because she is of apparent Asian heritage does this statement become racist in some warped minds. 

Then some of the globalist Liberal SJW’s in the Conservative Party jumped to China/Tam’s aid by taking Trudeau and the Liberal’s side on this question by crying racism.

These are just a few of the CPC members who decided that the best way to deal with one of their own calling out Tam’s obvious allegiance to China was to white knight on social media.  Remember, Social Justice Warriors Always Lie. (Thanks Vox Day.)  Mark these ones … they will be the ones who will hurt the CPC party the most in the future.  Better to find out backstabbing teammates now than after they get into power.

China Tam Track Record

As Derek Sloan said in a recent video, ‘If you have a player on a hockey team and that player scores on your own net, the coach is going to bench that player.  We need to bench Tam.”

Lets take a look at China/Tam’s track record.  Spencer Fernando gave a good breakdown which I will copy here:

Tam, the supposed “expert,” was wrong on everything.

She was wrong on travel bans – something the Liberal government ended up imposing over a month later.

She was wrong on asymptomatic transmission, as it is now well-known that people can transmit the virus without feeling sick.

She was wrong on voluntary quarantine, as the lack of quarantines early on meant that cases in China became cases in Canada. After all, all of Canada’s cases started as imported cases from foreign travel. Now, many of our cases are from ‘community spread,’ but that community spread was seeded by the foreign travel in the first place.

Then, in a stunning moment, Tam expressed her philosophy that viruses are stopped at hospitals, not borders:

“This is a virus. It can cross borders. This is a layer of a multi-layered response. The most important layer, of course, is the initial entry into the health system. We’ve talked a bit about that. At the actual international border, I see it as a great opportunity to absolutely make someone aware of what to do if they’re sick after entry.”

This shows a horrendous lack of basic understanding of what a pandemic is, all the more stunning because understanding this is Tam’s JOB.

After all, the countries that imposed the toughest early border controls and ruthless screening, particularly Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, and Hong Kong managed to ‘bend the curve’ with amazing speed, and get things under control.

By letting the virus into the hospitals as Tam proposed, that also means letting it spread throughout the community, and then the country. It also puts health care workers at risk, raising the prospect of a system collapse.

Again, this is all common-sense. If you can stop a virus from getting in, you should do that. And even if you don’t fully stop it at the border, you at least cut back on the number of cases.

I can’t emphasize this enough. There is no reason that I should have to be explaining this to Tam, who is supposed to be the expert.

But she was simply dead wrong at literally every step of the way, showing – and I mean this seriously – far less understanding of the situation than most people on Twitter.

Tam has failed miserably, putting political correctness, and virtue-signalling lecturing ahead of doing her job. She couldn’t grasp the situation in time, and when she grasped the seriousness of it it was far too late to stop it.

Now, it is spreading big time within Canada.

She also flip flopped on masks:

“Non-medical masks alone will not prevent #COVID19 spread. You must consistently and strictly adhere to #goodhygiene & #publichealth measures, including frequent #handwashing and #PhysicalDistancing (2 metres). #WashYourHands to be protected.

Later changing her story to:

“Canada’s chief public health officer now says that wearing a non-medical mask can help stop the spread of COVID-19.”

Nearly every step of the way, Tam has parroted Chinese propaganda to Canadians … and the resulting course of action that Canada took has most assuredly caused more people to die in Canada. So the question must be asked:

Does Dr. Theresa Tam Work for China or for Canada?

UPDATE:  The author of the article below has provided some updated information via Twitter.  I include that thread here:

Andrew Gaiziunas: Thx — errors in pathology within April 5 post. Have been revised. More soon.

Axehaft: Excellent. Where will you post updated info?

Andrew Gaiziunas: Just been posting progress direct to twitter feed. Easier to control trolls.

Axehaft: Lol. Ya … I hear you on that. I’ll keep any eye on twitter for updates to original info.

Andrew Gaiziunas: Heme theory gone as far as it needs to – simple tests identified to quickly rule it out or warrant further investigation. No one has shared any results with me tho so moved on to coagulopathy which has yielded much more promising results. (Same core hypothesis, different pathology)

Axehaft: My main problem is the suppression of info even if it is simply a hypothesis. Twitter is not much better than mainstream media. Appreciate you applying your knowledge and brainpower to the issue.

Andrew Gaiziunas: Agree wholeheartedly 1,000%. Ideas spark conversations, conversations lead to theories, theories result in more theories and research, all cascades to progress. Suppression, especially **SELECTIVE** suppression based on irrelevant political bias impedes all that.

With the mainstream media actively suppressing information about Hydroxychloroquine due to political ideologies, it is up to others to carry the information and make sure data stays available.  With that in mind, I carry this banned article which gives some very interesting information about Hydroxychloroquine and it’s effect on Covid-19.  

This article was originally posted on Medium but was subsequently deleted and the writer banned by Medium.  The writer is Andrew Gaiziunas who is active on Twitter still. 

The worst part of this is how the media has gone to war against Trump by banning information like this.  Medium banning this article reinforces the statement: Our media is the enemy of the people.  Everything you see or read on the mainstream media must be viewed as partisan and political and any information they provide must be verified by multiple sources not associated with the mainstream media before being accepted as true.

From this article:

All that hilariously misguided and counterproductive criticism the media piled on chloroquine (purely for political reasons) as a viable treatment will now go down as the biggest Fake News blunder to rule them all. The media actively engaged their activism to fight ‘bad orange man’ at the cost of thousands of lives. Shame on them.

This is a war.  We are the common everyday people who just want to live our lives.  They are at war with us.  Who are ‘they?’  It’s hard to know who they all are, but the mainstream media is the mouthpiece.  They have proven over and over again that they will lie, block, ban and discredit anyone who provides data or information that does not fit their political agenda.  Be warned.

Here is the article in full as originally posted on Medium.  (I pulled it from WaybackMachine Site.)

In the last 3–5 days, a mountain of anecdotal evidence has come out of NYC, Italy, Spain, etc. about COVID-19 and characteristics of patients who get seriously ill. It’s not only piling up but now leading to a general field-level consensus backed up by a few previously little-known studies that we’ve had it all wrong the whole time. Well, a few had some things eerily correct (cough Trump cough), especially with Hydroxychloroquine with Azithromicin, but we’ll get to that in a minute.

There is no ‘pneumonia’ nor ARDS. At least not the ARDS with established treatment protocols and procedures we’re familiar with. Ventilators are not only the wrong solution, but high pressure intubation can actually wind up causing more damage than without, not to mention complications from tracheal scarring and ulcers given the duration of intubation often required… They may still have a use in the immediate future for patients too far to bring back with this newfound knowledge, but moving forward a new treatment protocol needs to be established so we stop treating patients for the wrong disease.

The past 48 hours or so have seen a huge revelation: COVID-19 causes prolonged and progressive hypoxia (starving your body of oxygen) by binding to the heme groups in hemoglobin in your red blood cells. People are simply desaturating (losing o2 in their blood), and that’s what eventually leads to organ failures that kill them, not any form of ARDS or pneumonia. All the damage to the lungs you see in CT scans are from the release of oxidative iron from the hemes, this overwhelms the natural defenses against pulmonary oxidative stress and causes that nice, always-bilateral ground glass opacity in the lungs. Patients returning for re-hospitalization days or weeks after recovery suffering from apparent delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy strengthen the notion COVID-19 patients are suffering from hypoxia despite no signs of respiratory ‘tire out’ or fatigue.

Here’s the breakdown of the whole process, including some ELI5-level cliff notes. Much has been simplified just to keep it digestible and layman-friendly.

Your red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to all your organs and the rest of your body. Red blood cells can do this thanks to hemoglobin, which is a protein consisting of four “hemes”. Hemes have a special kind of iron ion, which is normally quite toxic in its free form, locked away in its center with a porphyrin acting as it’s ‘container’. In this way, the iron ion can be ‘caged’ and carried around safely by the hemoglobin, but used to bind to oxygen when it gets to your lungs.

When the red blood cell gets to the alveoli, or the little sacs in your lungs where all the gas exchange happens, that special little iron ion can flip between FE2+ and FE3+ states with electron exchange and bond to some oxygen, then it goes off on its little merry way to deliver o2 elsewhere.

Here’s where COVID-19 comes in. Its glycoproteins bond to the heme, and in doing so that special and toxic oxidative iron ion is “disassociated” (released). It’s basically let out of the cage and now freely roaming around on its own. This is bad for two reasons:

1) Without the iron ion, hemoglobin can no longer bind to oxygen. Once all the hemoglobin is impaired, the red blood cell is essentially turned into a Freightliner truck cab with no trailer and no ability to store its cargo.. it is useless and just running around with COVID-19 virus attached to its porphyrin. All these useless trucks running around not delivering oxygen is what starts to lead to desaturation, or watching the patient’s spo2 levels drop. It is INCORRECT to assume traditional ARDS and in doing so, you’re treating the WRONG DISEASE. Think of it a lot like carbon monoxide poisoning, in which CO is bound to the hemoglobin, making it unable to carry oxygen. In those cases, ventilators aren’t treating the root cause; the patient’s lungs aren’t ‘tiring out’, they’re pumping just fine. The red blood cells just can’t carry o2, end of story. Only in this case, unlike CO poisoning in which eventually the CO can break off, the affected hemoglobin is permanently stripped of its ability to carry o2 because it has lost its iron ion. The body compensates for this lack of o2 carrying capacity and deliveries by having your kidneys release hormones like erythropoietin, which tell your bone marrow factories to ramp up production on new red blood cells with freshly made and fully functioning hemoglobin. This is the reason you find elevated hemoglobin and decreased blood oxygen saturation as one of the 3 primary indicators of whether the shit is about to hit the fan for a particular patient or not.

2) That little iron ion, along with millions of its friends released from other hemes, are now floating through your blood freely. As I mentioned before, this type of iron ion is highly reactive and causes oxidative damage. It turns out that this happens to a limited extent naturally in our bodies and we have cleanup & defense mechanisms to keep the balance. The lungs, in particular, have 3 primary defenses to maintain “iron homeostasis”, 2 of which are in the alveoli, those little sacs in your lungs we talked about earlier. The first of the two are little macrophages that roam around and scavenge up any free radicals like this oxidative iron. The second is a lining on the walls (called the epithelial surface) which has a thin layer of fluid packed with high levels of antioxidant molecules.. things like abscorbic acid (AKA Vitamin C) among others. Well, this is usually good enough for naturally occurring rogue iron ions but with COVID-19 running rampant your body is now basically like a progressive state letting out all the prisoners out of the prisons… it’s just too much iron and it begins to overwhelm your lungs’ countermeasures, and thus begins the process of pulmonary oxidative stress. This leads to damage and inflammation, which leads to all that nasty stuff and damage you see in CT scans of COVID-19 patient lungs. Ever noticed how it’s always bilateral? (both lungs at the same time) Pneumonia rarely ever does that, but COVID-19 does… EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Once your body is now running out of control, with all your oxygen trucks running around without any freight, and tons of this toxic form of iron floating around in your bloodstream, other defenses kick in. While your lungs are busy with all this oxidative stress they can’t handle, and your organs are being starved of o2 without their constant stream of deliveries from red blood cell’s hemoglobin, and your liver is attempting to do its best to remove the iron and store it in its ‘iron vault’. Only its getting overwhelmed too. It’s starved for oxygen and fighting a losing battle from all your hemoglobin letting its iron free, and starts crying out “help, I’m taking damage!” by releasing an enzyme called alanine aminotransferase (ALT). BOOM, there is your second of 3 primary indicators of whether the shit is about to hit the fan for a particular patient or not.

Eventually, if the patient’s immune system doesn’t fight off the virus in time before their blood oxygen saturation drops too low, ventilator or no ventilator, organs start shutting down. No fuel, no work. The only way to even try to keep them going is max oxygen, even a hyperbaric chamber if one is available on 100% oxygen at multiple atmospheres of pressure, just to give what’s left of their functioning hemoglobin a chance to carry enough o2 to the organs and keep them alive. Yeah we don’t have nearly enough of those chambers, so some fresh red blood cells with normal hemoglobin in the form of a transfusion will have to do.

The core point being, treating patients with the iron ions stripped from their hemoglobin (rendering it abnormally nonfunctional) with ventilator intubation is futile, unless you’re just hoping the patient’s immune system will work its magic in time. The root of the illness needs to be addressed.

Best case scenario? Treatment regimen early, before symptoms progress too far. Hydroxychloroquine (more on that in a minute, I promise) with Azithromicin has shown fantastic, albeit critics keep mentioning ‘anecdotal’ to describe the mountain, promise and I’ll explain why it does so well next. But forget straight-up plasma with antibodies, that might work early but if the patient is too far gone they’ll need more. They’ll need all the blood: antibodies and red blood cells. No help in sending over a detachment of ammunition to a soldier already unconscious and bleeding out on the battlefield, you need to send that ammo along with some hemoglobin-stimulant-magic so that he can wake up and fire those shots at the enemy.

The story with Hydroxychloroquine

All that hilariously misguided and counterproductive criticism the media piled on chloroquine (purely for political reasons) as a viable treatment will now go down as the biggest Fake News blunder to rule them all. The media actively engaged their activism to fight ‘bad orange man’ at the cost of thousands of lives. Shame on them.

How does chloroquine work? Same way as it does for malaria. You see, malaria is this little parasite that enters the red blood cells and starts eating hemoglobin as its food source. The reason chloroquine works for malaria is the same reason it works for COVID-19 — while not fully understood, it is suspected to bind to DNA and interfere with the ability to work magic on hemoglobin. The same mechanism that stops malaria from getting its hands on hemoglobin and gobbling it up seems to do the same to COVID-19 (essentially little snippets of DNA in an envelope) from binding to it. On top of that, Hydroxychloroquine (an advanced descendant of regular old chloroquine) lowers the pH which can interfere with the replication of the virus. Again, while the full details are not known, the entire premise of this potentially ‘game changing’ treatment is to prevent hemoglobin from being interfered with, whether due to malaria or COVID-19.

No longer can the media and armchair pseudo-physicians sit in their little ivory towers, proclaiming “DUR so stoopid, malaria is bacteria, COVID-19 is virus, anti-bacteria drug no work on virus!”. They never got the memo that a drug doesn’t need to directly act on the pathogen to be effective. Sometimes it’s enough just to stop it from doing what it does to hemoglobin, regardless of the means it uses to do so.

Anyway, enough of the rant. What’s the end result here? First, the ventilator emergency needs to be re-examined. If you’re putting a patient on a ventilator because they’re going into a coma and need mechanical breathing to stay alive, okay we get it. Give ’em time for their immune systems to pull through. But if they’re conscious, alert, compliant — keep them on O2. Max it if you have to. If you HAVE to inevitably ventilate, do it at low pressure but max O2. Don’t tear up their lungs with max PEEP, you’re doing more harm to the patient because you’re treating the wrong disease.

Ideally, some form of treatment needs to happen to:

1. Inhibit viral growth and replication. Here plays CHQ+ZPAK+ZINC or other retroviral therapies being studies. Less virus, less hemoglobin losing its iron, less severity and damage.
2. Therapies used for anyone with abnormal hemoglobin or malfunctioning red blood cells. Blood transfusions. Whatever, I don’t know the full breadth and scope because I’m not a physician. But think along those lines, and treat the real disease. If you’re thinking about giving them plasma with antibodies, maybe if they’re already in bad shape think again and give them BLOOD with antibodies, or at least blood followed by plasma with antibodies.
3. Now that we know more about how this virus works and affects our bodies, a whole range of options should open up.
4. Don’t trust China. China is ASSHOE. (disclaimer: not talking about the people, just talking about the regime). They covered this up and have caused all kinds of death and carnage, both literal and economic. The ripples of this pandemic will be felt for decades.

Fini.
