The Horrors of Plum Island | Hybrids, Human Experiments and Weaponized Killer Insects
In July 2008, the carcass of an animal washed up on the beach at Montauk Point Long Island. Local beachcombers are used to seeing dead animals. Seagulls, fish, crabs, even the occasional whale. But they had never seen anything like this.
Animal experts were brought in to identify it. They were stumped. It looked like part dog, part reptile and part rodent – with the beak of a bird. This animal, whatever it was, became known as the Montauk Monster.
But where did the Monster come from?
There could be only one answer. Plum Island.
Plum Island is just a few miles from where the monster was found.
Locals had heard rumors that this was a top-secret government facility that created bioweapons, engineered animal hybrids and maybe even experimented on people.
Sounds like a wild theory.
But then another animal washed up on the beach. Again, it couldn’t be identified. And then another animal. And then two more.
In 2010, the rumors about Plum Island seemed to be true when something else was found on the beach. This time it wasn’t a strange animal. It was a body. A human body.
Well… it was almost human.

https://rmx.news/poland/poles-show-highest-support-ever-for-building-nuclear-power-plant/
Key points:
— A new poll shows that 85.7 percent of Poles support building a nuclear power plant …
— only 9.2 percent of the respondents are against …
— respondents in the oldest age group, those 70 and over, along with those who have the lowest income, show the most support for the investment, with both groups at 100 percent support.

Scientists Develop ‘Airborne mRNA’ to Vaccinate Public Without Consent
A team of scientists at Yale University has developed a new form of “airborne” mRNA vaccine that can be rapidly deployed among the public to vaccinate the masses without their knowledge or consent.
The researchers developed the new airborne method to deliver mRNA right into people’s lungs, bypassing the need for voluntary injections.
The method has also been used to vaccinate mice intranasally.
The scientists note that animal tests have now “opened the door for human testing in the near future.”
While scientists may celebrate this invention as a convenient method to vaccinate large populations, critics are raising obvious concerns about the potential misuse of an airborne vaccine.
The method raises serious concerns about the possibility of covert bio-enhancements – a concept that has previously been suggested in academic literature.

“Green” climate agenda a TROJAN HORSE to destroy the food supply, force everyone to eat BUGS and live under TYRANNY
Everything the powers that be are telling everyone right now about how the world can only be saved from a full-fledged environmental and climate-related collapse by shifting to a “green” economy is a lie.
It turns out that the green climate agenda is a ploy, or Trojan Horse, to let the enemy inside the gate to put all family farmers out of business; destroy the tradition of animal husbandry; and promote the worldwide consumption of insects rather than meat – for the non-elite, of course, since those at the top of the pyramid still plan to gorge on meat and the finest of the fine when it comes to all things fancy and gourmet.
It is you and I whom the globalists want to be stuck in chains eating cockroaches and crickets for dinner every night while we celebrate the “happiness” of owning absolutely nothing and somehow being happy about it – how is that supposed to work?
In his documentary film “No Farmers No Food,” EpochTV host Roman Balmakov, the film’s maker, discusses how an army of climate activists is being groomed by corrupt governments into shutting down all food-producing farms because said farms are “destroying the planet,” we are told.
Instead, the powers that be want these farms to be replaced by bug factories like the kinds billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates is starting to build across the tens of millions of United States farm acreage he has been gobbling up in recent years.
“People in charge of some of the most powerful organizations on the planet have determined that agriculture, specifically animal agriculture, is to blame for global warming, and global warming is to blame for the high prices of food and food shortages,” Balmakov says about who he believes is behind the green agenda.

Top Japanese Virologist Takes to the Street to Warn of Manufactured Omicron Strain
An emotionally alarming video has just been posted. A man in a suit stands alone on a busy Japanese street trying to get the attention of people passing by. He is Japanese professor Takayuki Miyazawa from Kyoto University. A top virologist and associate professor at the university’s Institute for Life and Medical Sciences. The Japanese language clip of Professor Miyazaawa’s warning has over 8 million views on X at the time of this writing.
“We often appear on TV but there are many things that cannot be said on TV. There are many things that cannot be said on YouTube. There are many things that cannot be said on Twitter.”
“Only researchers know what is true. Researchers can directly obtain data and analyze it. And when they analyze it, they can learn a lot of things. We can’t communicate that. So I’m not sure what Japan is doing.”
“By examining the amino acid sequences you can immediately understand what is being done. If you analyze it, it’s obvious.”

I went to see my local GP yesterday in order to get an updated Referral Letter. The Receptionist had already ‘commanded’ me to wear a mask when I made the Appointment a few days ago (I turned up not wearing a mask BTW).
So, I wore a mask when I saw the Doctor yesterday. He was also wearing a mask and he showed into his Surgery Room and had me sit down. He sat down at his desk and immediately took off his mask. When I said “Are you allowed to do that?”, he said “This is my Surgery Room and I can do what I want”. So, I took off my mask as well and then we were both able to talk to each other quite normally.
When I left the room, I put my mask back on and laughed when I walked out past the Receptionist taking my mask off at the same time.

De-Spike Naturally: An Oncologist’s Guide to Recovery. Dr. Makis
In the aftermath of COVID and the subsequent injections, the question everyone is asking is, “How do I get this stuff out of my body?” The good news is that there is hope for the vaccine-injured and concerned — and it doesn’t cost you a penny. In fact, it will save you money.’
The solution – a 72-hour fast. While intermittent fasting, or time-related feeding, has several health benefits, oncologist Dr. William Makis attests the healing process really ramps up after the 48-hour mark.
“I do believe that almost everybody can detox from this stuff [COVID shots],” said Dr. Makis in a recent interview. “It’s not a hopeless situation,” he stressed. “Once this stuff has been circulating in your body for a while, it can do a lot of damage.” Dr. Makis added that because of spike protein shedding and “God knows what they’re spraying in the skies,” unvaccinated people can also benefit. “So the key is, again, to jump on it. The earlier, the better.”

In the UK’s Daily Mail today I read that Albanese had trolled Morrison online a couple of years ago, asserting that it was Morrison’s fault that petrol had ‘soared’ to almost $2/litre. Now, with Albo at the helm (occasionally), the price has gone even higher.
As if by magic, Their ABC chose this moment to run a story about petrol prices, but mysteriously forgot to mention the above. The story was, essentially, designed to explain to the plebs that Albanese’s government doesn’t set fuel prices – they are set “internationally”.
What an incredible coincidence it is that a perfect, newsworthy opportunity to pin rising fuel costs on Labor happens on the very same day that Their ABC chose to explain how petrol prices work, and that it’s those darn foreigners who are to blame – at least until the Liberals win power, then it will be their fault again.

Has anybody here tried the carnivore diet? I am intrigued by it, partly because it goes against everything I have been told for decades. No, not because I want to be contrary, but because it shouldn’t be healthy yet many people swear by it, including people I trust such as Jordan Peterson.
My interest in this centres on cholesterol. Since my heart attack in 2008, which was due to coronary heart disease, I have been taking statins. However, other health problems could potentially be laid at the door of those statins. Widespread pain is one such side effect that I suffer, another is clinical depression which, I think, isn’t depression per se but persistent, inexplicable ‘low mood’. I also suspect that I have mildly impaired cognition, though at 67yo, that could just be age-related decline. Other issues could be blamed on statins too, if Dr Google is to be believed.
I have tried halting the statins and, while I do eventually feel better, it takes months for any improvement to happen and it’s so gradual that it might be my imagination. meanwhile, my cholesterol tests slowly degrade, at least as far as conventional medical wisdom goes …
So, back to the carnivore diet. Its supporters claim quite miraculous benefits, amongst which are improved stamina and strength, better cognitive function, increased resistance to infection, reduced arthritis symptoms, lower blood pressure and, at least according to some recent research improved cholesterol results (bit complicated that). For sure, Peterson is looking better than he did a few years ago, though he did have a painkiller addiction for a while.
So I’m thinking of giving it a go. It won’t be easy though. I love meat, so that bit’s easy, but it also cuts out many of the carbs I enjoy too, plus I do love my veg when (under)cooked properly. Nuts are right out, which would be tricky for me.

Hi Steve, a book that I read a long time ago had an interesting outline of the experience of people with cholesterol.

Hi Stephen
My knowledge in the area of cholesterol is very basic but found a book called “The Queen of Fats” very interesting and well written.
It was about the experience of Eskimo populations to more “civilized” areas of Northern Europe and the apparent influence of the resulting diet changes on cholesterol.
It was a long time ago but the thing that sticks is that the ratio of the constituents of Total cholesterol is important.
To some extent the higher the ratio of HDL to LDL, the better.
The HDL can be thought of in some sense as a solvent which can help keep the LDL (bad ingredient) keep on moving rather than clogging up the arteries.
This is simplistic and from memory and may be open to revision from someone a bit smarter on this topic, but to some extent total cholesterol is not the only issue.

You are correct, KK. Myself and a friend of mine often have total cholesterol levels over the “recommended” because our HDL levels are very high.
There’s also one more component–Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol. It is only reported on the more sophisticated tests. According to the Mayo Clinic, “There’s no simple, direct way to measure VLDL cholesterol, which is why it’s normally not mentioned during a routine cholesterol screening. VLDL cholesterol is usually estimated as a percentage of your triglyceride value. A normal VLDL cholesterol level is between 5 and 30 milligrams per deciliter.”
Some of my blood work has had all three values.
Nothing is ever simple!

Thanks Steve, just had a look at the article after the one you linked to, good stuff.
Twenty years ago while studying neuroscience and psychobiology, our lecturers introduced us to the reasoning and approval process behind the SSRI based antidepressants.
Their outline of the approval process was full on and suggested that the whole thing was dodgy from the start.
Further, my understanding of process analysis led me to believe that the reasoning behind the use of SSRIs was faulty.

Cholesterol (like Co2) is a “Life Molecule”. A fraud “Scientist” Ancel Keys is behind the “Cholesterol causes heart disease” hypothesis. It is quackery. The OG European physiologists laughed at this absurd hypothesis. Yet millions of dollars is wasted on bullsh!t statins and cholesterol testing. If you want to get heart disease, live a life of emotional stress, smoke cigarettes, drive around using leaded fuel, eat donuts and drink sugary drinks. The problem is inflamed damaged arterial linings- the cholesterol is a R E P A I R molecule. You are Welcome!
120
I am living proof that statins ‘work’. Over the intervening years since my heart attack, I have several times tried halting the statins and, every time, my total cholesterol and LDL/HDL ratio degrades. But as I said in my original post, that’s according to ‘conventional wisdom”.
I am sceptical and actively seeking info on the topic with a view to halting the statins again. Note however that a near-death experience provides a different perspective and the ALLEGED protection afforded by statins becomes a much more attractive gamble.
Also, my cardiologist at the time was a ‘non interventionist’ who recommended ‘stents and statins’ rather than a bypass, as many other cardios would have done. That was fifteen years ago and, while I have a few small bits of narrowing here and there, none of it requires treatment. He made the right call and, consequently, I still have the option of bypass surgery should I need it.
My original cardio retired a couple of years ago and the new guy isn’t great. I have a few reservations about him, one of which is his enthusiasm for mRNA-based medicine and another is his welded-on obedience to the statins gospel.
40
Looking at your earlier comment Steve @ #18, you mention ‘low mood’. I was prescribed statins some years ago; depression set in so I stopped taking the first lot. I was persuaded to try another; same result so stopped taking that. Was given a third and couldn’t bring myself even to try it. Did a lot of reading around it all and remembered a friend badly affected by them; almost crippled. Also noted that my mother had a level of depression but believed she had to take the statin; she also was prescribed anti-depressants. Bully for Big Pharma.
I remain now in the belief that cholesterol is an essential part of us, especially for brain health. We eat fish, meat, eggs, cheese and yoghurt, also fruit and plenty of vegetables.
10
Dr Asseem Malhotra quotes a study that was done investigating the benefits of statins post heart attacks, etc. In that study they found the everyday use of statins post heart attack had a 4 effect, compared to presumably a control group. Not 4 years extra, not 4 months- 4 days. Those people who took statins lived an extra 4 days only. But, that doesn’t matter if you believe they work and haven’t had any bad side effects. My silly doctor tried to get me on them years ago, but the resultant aches and pains were terrible. Then I looked into the whole cholesterol, heart health issue from a scientific point of view. I was not a happy camper. The science underlying cholesterol/ heart health is about as robust as that supporting climate alarmism.

Amazing the claim and counter claim of each side , one thing is for sure and that is the first casualty in war is the truth .
I’ve seen a vid from the Ukraine side saying they blew up a Russian military transport train , I’ve seen more vids of tanks and other equipment either being blown up or blown up with Russian identifiers such as “Z” than Ukraine equipment but there is plenty of evidence to show the losses on the Ukraine side .
As for who is winning I’d say that’s obviously the many companies and countries turning a dollar by selling military supplies .

Presumbly he is talking about the USA … in which case the nation can easily withstand normal interest rates, but the drive for low interest rates is coming from massive government debt.
Government is not the nation, although government debt effects the entire nation, there’s no requirement for that massive debt to exist … it was a political choice to get it into that mess. The US politicians are simply going to need to learn to spend less, as simple as that. If they can’t control themselves, the outcome can only be stagflation … but only because government chose that outcome, not because no alternatives were on the table.

This is another, but it struck me while watching that, no matter how good or how primitive, they still needed electricity to do the job.
What sort of nutcase thinks that we can get along without it?

Why are you so dependent, look at the typo, correct it and it connects.

That’s why I seldom embed links, I stuff up, AND I am a bit colour blind and don’t see the red well so consider other red/green colourblind men [principally].

Thanks for that. There is a fair bit of lamenting that the “throw it out and get a new one” mentality is leading to loss of our people who used to do repairs like that.
And a lot more elaborate than my repair to the torn out centrepost on an old lathe that I scrounged.

“Everyone” knows that you can’t weld cast iron. 🙁
I have saved a lot of money doing repairs myself, stuff I could never pay someone else to do.

“Everyone” knows that you can’t weld cast iron.” !
High nickel rods are a good start.
And (if you can find any) Lincoln Ferroweld can work a treat. It rusts if you want the repair to match the rest.

Have you noticed their safety thongs? Using Oxy etc, sparks going everywhere. No problem

A friend was amazed that the bloke that ran a prominent machining shop didn’t worry about the “safety thongs” – he used bare feet.

Ontario prepares to go big on nuclear, with demand for electricity poised to soar
Not cheap but a known commodity. Am glad they are doing it.

Notice how all those in positions of power and influence advocating socialism are all earning huge salaries at your expense? Mmm..

Chickens coming home to roost – although this may rebound onto ICE Drivers.

I’m wondering when those insurers take the same approach with home owners, multi-storey buildings and shopping centres, especially if they have fast chargers installed.

I’m sure the insurance companies will ‘spread the love’ just like they do with flood levees on those that are not at risk of flooding. ICE owners will subsidise the risky EVs, even though the ICE vehicles are not the cause of the risk.

The former Victorian dictator Dan Andrews walks away with a pension of $300,000 per year, funded by taxpayers and many other taxpayer funded benefits. He also gets $200,000 per year for travel and office costs. He also gets a private driver for the rest of his life. I have no doubt he’ll also get 24/7 security as well because he is so deeply hated.
So… he can live it up like all the other retired
commies.
I wonder what role(s) the Chicomms, WEF and UN have for him next?

Late in April 2020 President Donald Trump announced a public-private initiative for developing vaccines against Covid-19: “We’re going to fast track it like you’ve never seen before”. One word only came to mind: Thalidomide. Pierre Gosselin offers just the most recent reasons supporting that reaction (see here): “Dire News About COVID 19 Vax Emerging…Far Worse Than Imagined”:

For the record: Thalidomide was not approved in the USA. Some made it into the States, but Frances Kelsey of the FDA would not grant approval.

“Hydrogen will be transported to these vast caverns and stored there for years and decades, then transported to power plants to burn when needed. ”
No it won’t, what moron wrote that report, hydrogen stored in caverns won’t be there a day after it was put there, it seeps through everything.

I got as far as, “The only storage medium that could conceivably work would be a combustible chemical substance that can be put in massive underground facilities for decades.”
At that point I became convinced the authors are just extracting the urine.

The relief Vicdanistanis felt when Dictator Dan resigned must have been similar to the joy Romanians felt with the overthrow of their communist dictator, Nicolae Ceaușescu.
