This Policy Should Age Well

I wonder what they’re going to do as soon as it becomes absolutely undeniable that it is the vaccinated who are much more likely to die, period:

A Colorado-based health system says it is denying organ transplants to patients not vaccinated against the coronavirus in “almost all situations,” citing studies that show these patients are much more likely to die if they get covid-19.

The policy illustrates the growing costs of being unvaccinated and wades into deeply controversial territory — the use of immunization status to decide who gets limited medical care. The mere idea of prioritizing the vaccinated for rationed health resources has drawn intense backlash, as overwhelmingly unvaccinated covid-19 patients push some hospitals to adopt “crisis standards of care,” in which health systems can prioritize patients for scarce resources based largely on their likelihood of survival.

Turnabout is fair play, after all. We already know that the vaccinated are dying in droves; the all-cause death statistics clearly indicate that. But at present, there is still some wiggle room for the media to pretend otherwise, although it’s only a matter of months before that disappears.

A Silent and Dutiful Massacre

A translated excerpt from an interview with an Italian ambulance doctor who responds to 911 (118) calls:

MD Are you saying that 7 out of 10 “fragile” people who suffer the adverse effects of the so-called anti-Covid vaccines, die from them?

Exactly. We can say that these vaccines are making a clean sweep of all the fragile. Now I bring you an example from the last hospitalization I did. We went to the home of a person who already had various ailments: heart disease, chronic obstructive bronchitis for years, and was nevertheless vaccinated with a double dose. The latter disease, COPD in medical jargon, flared up after the administration of the vaccine. The patient had 88% oxygen saturation accompanied by strange tonic-clonic shocks. Since she was not an epileptic, I thought it must be acidosis due to the fact that the oxygen tank to which she was attached was at a very low level; therefore I took her to the hospital, as I thought the patient was metabolically decompensated. That was until we took her to the ER.

The rest of the story I learned from a colleague who works at the PO but who occasionally substitutes for us in an ambulance. The patient had a pleural effusion, a pericardial effusion, capillary leak syndrome (CLS), practically the patient was losing serosity from all capillary districts. So I believe she has already passed away, although I will find out tomorrow, when I am on duty. But I can already say that the tonic-clonic shocks, which I thought were due to metabolic acidosis, had completely different causes, because the acidosis was immediately compensated in the ER with bicarbonate, oxygen, etc. but although the oxygenation level began to rise, the tremors persisted. So it is my opinion that it was a neurotoxin toxicity from the Covid vaccine, which my colleagues did not recognize because none of them diagnosed it. After all, even us ambulance doctors, if I dare to venture a suspicion of diagnosis, they take me for crazy. For colleagues, the vaccine cannot give contraindications, there is just a gap, a void. They just don’t go looking for the symptom. Like they told us at the university, a disease you don’t know is a disease that doesn’t exist, meaning that if you don’t go looking for the symptoms, you can’t make the diagnosis.

RV In Lazio we have accessed to the records of vaccine side effects, and from January to today we are witnessing an exponential decline in reports, because hospitals decide a priori that there is no correlation. The report does not start from the clinic.

No, do you understand? The official data that comes out is that there are no side effects, there are one in eight million. I can say without hesitation that this is not true, because in every single shift I do in the ambulance I get at least one patient with these symptoms.

MD Are the symptoms always the same?

More or less yes: I am reminded of a strange correlation with a previous episode, which has stuck with me. Man, 44, did the cleaning in the ASL. When I receive the call, “Neurologico” comes out on the tablet, I arrive there and I find him lying on the ground, he kept his eyes open but he was unconscious. Now, a stroke in a 44-year-old man must make you suspicious if you are a doctor. You can’t say “he had high blood pressure” … I know how it turned out, because a relative of the patient, who does the same job as he does, stays with us. A cyst in the brain stem was reactivated after the vaccine. Indeed it was activated, because the man had always had it, but now an edematous area had formed around it, which is what made us find him on the floor in those conditions. Just recently I asked for updates on the case: he is now slowly recovering, but has a conspicuous swelling on the back of the neck that has been drained.

MD Earlier you reported an alarming percentage of fatal cases in the number of cases classified as “neurological”, all of which occurred following the administration of the drugs Comirnaty (Pfizer), SpikeVax (Moderna), VaxZeviria (AstraZeneca) or Janssen (J&J). In your 118 experience, when did these kinds of cases start to increase?

Look, I can tell you that before we used to intervene for different types of situations, now they are all neurological. A gradual and inexorable increase that began in January 2021.

LB These deaths you talk about, in what time frame do they take place with respect to the administration of the vaccine, the first or second dose? Can a consistency be identified?

Let’s say it usually happens in the medium term, two or three months later. [turns to Dr. Varvara] Do you know?

RV Yes, it turns out to me too, in my experience as a nurse. And this also makes it difficult to first hypothesize and then predict a correlation.

The cause-effect link is difficult to establish. Because it seems that each of these victims dies from the flare-up of things he already had. Therefore, these drugs kill in a subtle way, because the tip of the iceberg, the one you see above the sea, are the previous pathologies; the largest part, the one that is not seen, consists in the administration of these experimental drugs, which caused the revitalization and resurgence of these pathologies.

MD Is it as if with the administration of the Covid experimental serum the immune system lowers its defenses, no longer fighting the pathologies that it had previously neutralized?

Just this morning I read, in the group of the Sardinia region of a chat of doctors to which I belong, that two colleagues have lost their mother to the same problem: a lymphoma, in both cases cured, which returned after the vaccine. “They killed them,” they are saying.

MD But none of your colleagues, in the ASL or in the hospital, has noticed this phenomenon? Did they ask themselves any questions?

But I’m explaining it to you, it’s not that they don’t care, it’s inconceivable to them the very idea that there could be any correlation.

Calling For the Green Light

Apparently I’m not the only one who has concluded that there’s no time like the present. This was discussed in some detail on Darkstream 751: Drums, Drums, In The Deep. Courtesy of Jack Posobiec:

Taiwan stuff heating up more than people realize

This isn’t just posturing

There are top Chinese generals telling Xi they want the green light

The Chinese can’t reasonably assume that the USA will have such feeble leadership, both civilian and military, at any point in the near future. They respected Trump and worried about his unpredictability. Even if we assume they don’t actually own Biden – and there is more than a little evidence that at least have substantial leverage over him – literally no one respects or even regards him.

While the posturing isn’t just on China’s side, the posturing from Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party isn’t exactly what one would call convincing. Australians haven’t lifted a finger to defend their own freedom, so they’re certainly not going to fight China for Taiwanese independence.

Taiwan’s regional leader Tsai Ing-wen on Tuesday published an article, entitled “Taiwan and the Fight for Democracy”, in Foreign Affairs Magazine, claiming that “If Taiwan were to fall, the consequences would be catastrophic for regional peace and the democratic alliance system.” It seems that the Tsai authorities are really scared, anticipating that their secessionist attempt has gone to a virtual dead end. They, as an anti-China outpost of US’ Indo-Pacific Strategy will sooner or later be wiped out by the Chinese mainland, but they have a severe lack of confidence that the US and its allies will fully defend the island. In this context, Tsai penned the article to underline the current peril, calling on the US and its allies to strengthen their commitment to the Taiwan island and to deter the Chinese mainland.

There is no force in the world whose will to “defend Taiwan” is stronger than China’s will to fight against secession and achieve reunification. To be precise, they are completely incomparable. China dares to have a life-and-death fight against any force that hinders our reunification, but no force dares or is willing to fight to the death against the world’s second largest economy, as well as a nuclear power, in order to prevent China’s reunification.

Tsai authorities understand this point.

In Which We Are Corrected

A Gamma male explains that I’ve got the Socio-Sexual Hierarchy all wrong:

Completely an utterly incorrect. Gamma males love having fun but don’t shrug off their responsibilities at the same time. They’re definitely adventurous and fun-loving and tend to get very restless if they’re left idle for too long. It is possible an alpha male might mature into a gamma male, because gamma males are a more refined version of them. They’re sensitive towards the opposite sex and are very aware of the needs and nature of what women truly want and they do anything in their power to fulfil their partner’s needs. Yup, women are lucky to have a gamma male in their life. They also display a certain amount of feminine behaviours, expectations and values to win their partners heart. They love putting their family first, in any given situation and scenario. The Gamma is seen as having a little bit of every other type of man combined in his personality, with no specific one of those personalities being dominant over the others. One of the main reasons for this is that the gamma male is one who is adventurous in life and creates his own path away from the opinions of others. Where the alpha male acts in a way that pleases others, the gamma male will do whatever he wants to feel fulfilled in his life. Gamma males usually have a wide array of skills and interests, leading to them enjoying exploring life and learning and doing as they please. Where the alpha male relies on his group for reassurance of his character and status, the omega male acts completely opposite of that with little regard for how he is seen by others. Because of this, the omega male’s sense of self-assurance allows him to avoid trivial popularity contests. An omega male will definitely have a few close friends he trusts and respects, but his primary source of meaning and confidence comes from within. A downside to this is that an omega male often neglects to care for others, as they only know how to care for themselves.

Well, I guess that settles that. Secret King wins again!

Is there a wider gap between other people’s perception of the Gamma and the Gamma’s perception of himself?

SWAN KNIGHT’S SAGA Episode 21

China Beats the War Drums

A record number of warplanes took part in drills over the Taiwan Straits yesterday:

The combat group of 56 marked a new record-high in the number of PLA warplanes taking part in the drills near the island of Taiwan in a day, surpassing the previous record of 39 which was just set two days ago and 38 set three days ago.

At least 149 PLA warplanes have joined exercises near the island of Taiwan since the start of the National Day holiday on Friday, during both days and nights, according to releases by the island’s defense authorities.

Monday’s exercise came after the US Department of State released a press statement on Sunday, voicing “concern” over the Chinese mainland’s military activity near the island of Taiwan, claiming it was provocative.

In response to the statement, Hua Chunying, a spokesperson from China’s Foreign Ministry, said on Monday that Taiwan is part of China, and the US has no right to make irresponsible comments on the Taiwan question.

The US statement severely violates the one-China principle and three China-US joint communiqués, and sends very wrong and irresponsible signals, Hua said, noting that the US has been making aggressive moves including arms sales to Taiwan, landing military aircraft on the island and sending warships through the Taiwan Straits.

China will take all measures necessary to crush any “Taiwan independence” attempts, Hua said. “‘Taiwan independence’ is doomed to fail.”

And the Global Times made it clear that this action was a highly specific warning of an invasion made in response to the recent statement made by the US State Department:

The intensive actions of the PLA Air Force are not only a severe warning to the secessionist Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities on the island, but also clearly portrayed the severity of the situation across the Taiwan Straits, and at the same time gave a clear warning to the supporters of the DPP authorities.

The peaceful atmosphere that existed in the area only a few years ago has all but disappeared, and the DPP authorities now openly refer to PLA fighters as “enemy aircraft”. They have constantly hyped up claims that they are at the forefront of the so-called democratic world to resist “authoritarian rule”. The strategic collusion between the US and Japan and the DPP authorities is becoming more audacious, and the situation across the Taiwan Straits has almost lost any room for maneuver teetering on the edge of a face-off, creating a sense of urgency that the war maybe triggered at any time.

The secessionist forces on the island will never be allowed to secede Taiwan from China under whatever names or by whatever means, and, the island will not be allowed to act as an outpost of the US’ strategic containment against China.

After Tsai Ing-wen came to office, the status quo of peaceful cooperation across the Taiwan Straits was disrupted. The US government and the DPP authorities are trying to deeply integrate the island into the US’ Indo-Pacific strategy targeting China. The Chinese mainland will not tolerate the integration of the island and the US.

The curtain of preparations for a comprehensive military struggle by the Chinese mainland has obviously been drawn open. The PLA’s military drills in the Taiwan Straits are no longer limited to declaring China’s sovereignty over the island, but to implement various forms of assembly, mobilization, assault and logistical preparations that are required to take back the island of Taiwan. Without giving up efforts for a peaceful reunification, it has increasingly become the new mainstream public opinion on the Chinese mainland that the mainland should make earnest preparations based on the possibility of combat.

Of course, given that Biden is almost certainly beholden to Beijing, if not an outright puppet,, it appears his fake administration is providing the CPC with precisely the casus belli it appears to be seeking.

Too Late to Shout “Stop!”

The Tree of Woe explains why it’s too late for conservatism:

Conservatism is dead.

Who would stand athwart history and shout “Stop” at this moment in time? America today is a dystopia.

The ruling class has pilfered the wealth and productivity of three generations of workers, financialized it into securities, and sold it to the globe. Now the factories and infrastructure of the country decay, and with them go our productive capacities. As productivity declines, purchasing power declines, so more currency is printed for billionaires. Productive wages languish while financial wealth soars. The hyperinflation of our currency spells doom for our consumption. “You will own nothing,” and you will not be happy.

Meanwhile, personal autonomy has been discarded in favor of the grossest arguments of collectivism. Parental rights have been handed over to the nanny state. The borders have been left open, even as our citizens have spent the last two years locked in their homes. The freedom of assembly has been abrogated. The freedom of speech has been obliterated. Through the mechanisms of Tyranny, Inc., the federal government has learned that any act or speech it wants to be regulated, it can have corporations regulate on its behalf.

Federal omnipotence is matched only by federal incompetence: The government is no longer competent to craft a budget, maintain a city, or win a war. It is no longer competent to even lose a war. A functioning autocracy can oftentimes achieve national greatness. A dysfunctional kleptocracy can achieve nothing but its own corrupt enrichment, and even that only until the citizens have nothing left to steal.

This is why the Nationalist Right, the Nationalist Christian Right, is inevitable. The alternatives have already failed. Globalism will fail. And we know, from the Bible, that both the nations and Christianity will survive until the end.

Proceed with confidence and serenity. No matter what names they hurl at you.

What the Vaxx Did

A doctor provides the bloodwork on a patient pre- and post-vaccination. Prior to the first vaccination.

Granulocyte 58.9 (38-75)
Lymphocyte 33.8 (15-49)

The results were in the normal range. After the second vaccination:

Granulocyte 79.6
Lymphocite 13.8
NKCells 64 (74-162)

The doctor said the results are similar to what one would see in someone suffering from an autoimmune disease. This corresponds with the information I posted on September 30 about the anticipated effects of the vaxxes and boosters. The reason we’re seeing a broad range of adverse effects over time is that the comprehensive weakening of the immune system opens up the vaccinated body to a broad range of attack vectors.

China’s New Nevsky Film

From Infogalactic:

Alexander Nevsky is a 1938 Soviet historical drama film directed by Sergei Eisenstein. It depicts the attempted invasion of Novgorod in the 13th century by the Teutonic Knights of the Holy Roman Empire and their defeat by Prince Alexander, known popularly as Alexander Nevsky (1220–1263).

The picture was released in December 1938, and became a great success with audiences: on 15 April 1939, Semen Dukelsky – the chairman of the State Committee for Cinematography – reported that it had already been viewed by 23,000,000 people and was the most popular of the films made in recent times.

After 23 August 1939, when the USSR signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, which provided for non-aggression and collusion between Germany and the Soviet Union, Alexander Nevsky was removed from circulation. But the situation reversed dramatically on 22 June 1941 after the German invasion of the Soviet Union, and the film rapidly returned to Soviet and western screens.

From Global Times:

Korean War film breaks records, has implications for today’s China-US competition

One day after the Chinese war epic film The Battle at Lake Changjin about the Korean War (1950-53) debuted on Thursday, its box office surpassed 516 million and broke 10 film records as of press time. Observers said the movie’s success shows the national feeling displayed in the film echoes the rising public sentiment in safeguarding national interests in front of provocations, which has great implications for today’s China-US competition.

The overall box office for the movie has surpassed 516 million yuan as of press time, one day after it debuted around the country on Thursday, according to data compiled by Lighthouse, a box office tracker and film big data platform owned by Alibaba Pictures.

The film leads the box office as it smashed ten box office records on Friday, including “the premiere day box office record,” “single day box office record,” and “cumulative box office record in the National Day holiday” as a historical film.

The film also reports a record in “the premiere day box office record” and “single day box office record in the past three years,” “the single day box office record during National Day holiday,” and “single day box office record,” as a war film.

Besides that, the film also reported a record in the number of screenings on the premiere day in the National Day holiday.

The film tells the story about how Chinese People’s Volunteers (CPV) soldiers held their ground amid fierce cold and the enemy’s more advanced weapons during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-53).

A movie-goer who watched the film on premier day commented on Chinese social media Sina Weibo that after watching the film, they indeed had the feeling that Chinese people are not, and have never been, afraid of the US.

The CPC is clearly preparing the Chinese people for direct conflict with the US military. And it’s not a great mystery as to the proximate cause, in light of this breathtakingly hypocritical statement by the US State Department:

In a threatening statement on Beijing’s “destabilizing” military moves that was published on Sunday, the US State Department warned China against even diplomatically and economically pressuring Taiwan in its own interests. In the statement, United States spokesperson and former CIA intelligence officer Ned Price warned China that the US was “very concerned” by its “provocative military activity near Taiwan, which is destabilizing, risks miscalculations, and undermines regional peace and stability.”

“We urge Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure and coercion against Taiwan,” Price wrote.

Claiming the US had “an abiding interest in peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait,” Price said it would “continue to assist Taiwan in maintaining a sufficient self-defense capability” and affirmed that its commitment to Taiwan was “rock solid.” “We will continue to stand with friends and allies to advance our shared prosperity, security, and values, and deepen our ties with democratic Taiwan,” the statement concluded.

And just in case you’re still not capable of connecting the dots, Global Times was kind enough to explain the purpose of the PLA’s now-daily flights over the island of Taiwan.

The PLA has done an excellent job! This can be seen as a form of the National Day military parade in the Taiwan Straits, which used to be held at the Tiananmen Square in Beijing. It is a clear and unmistakable declaration of China’s sovereignty over the island. This is apt given the 72nd anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, greatly encouraging people nationwide, and highlighted and emphasized to a new height the special significance of the National Day.

The 38 and 39 warplanes dispatched in two consecutive days to the exercise during the day and night near the island of Taiwan were not a guard of honor. They are fighting forces aimed at actual combat. The increase in the number of aircraft showed the PLA Air Force’s operational capabilities. The warplanes that gathered over the Straits were possibly dispatched from different airports, showing the strong ability of the PLA to form a wartime air attack.

According to statistics from Taiwan island, the PLA has sent warplanes into the island’s “airspace” in 198 days so far this year. Such a number reflects that the PLA has carried out wide-ranged and profound operations to familiarize itself with battlefield conditions, with a large number of PLA Air Force units having experience flying close to the island. Once the order to attack is given, the PLA’s pilots will fight as “experienced veterans.”

At this point, it would be surprising if China didn’t publicly demand Taiwan’s submission before the end of the year. While it could all be for show, the time it has taken to prepare for this massive, multi-stage propaganda campaign tends to indicate otherwise. Unfortunately, the fact that the US refuses to back down and stay out of what is an internal Chinese matter makes it much more likely that there will be at least a few unnecessary shots fired before the inevitable plays out.

UPDATE: The PLA upped the ante again today.

China has flown 52 aircraft into Taiwan’s airspace in its single largest mission to date – marking a dramatic escalation of tensions around the South China Sea island. Taipei said 34 J-16 fighters accompanied 12 H-6 nuclear-capable bombers, two Su-30 jets and other military planes into its ‘air defence identification zone’ on Monday.
