VAXXX: A report entitled “Increased Age-Adjusted Cancer Mortality After the Third mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Dose During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Japan” was published on April 8 in the U.S.-based peer-reviewed medical science journal Cureus. It represents the largest study to date on adverse effects of the COVID vaccine.

The study shows there were 115,799 “age-adjusted excess number of deaths” in 2022 after two-thirds of the Japanese population had received the third dose of COVID vaccine. The Japanese scientists concluded that a statistically significant number of these deaths were due to cancer, particularly leukemia, prostate, lip/oral/pharyngeal, pancreatic, ovarian and breast cancers.

“These particularly marked increases in mortality rates of these ERα-sensitive cancers may be attributable to several mechanisms of the mRNA-LNP vaccination rather than COVID-19 infection itself or reduced cancer care due to the lockdown,” the authors wrote.

In other words, the majority of Japan’s excess deaths in 2022 were probably caused by the experimental ‘rona jab that was supposedly going to save us all.

LEFTISM: Higher education continues to become more and more ridiculous. A new report out of UCLA assures us that gay couples are at greater “risk of exposure to the adverse effects of climate change” than straight couples, because they disproportionately live in coastal regions and cities, which are more vulnerable to such disasters. Never mind that (a) people choose where they live; (b) there are smaller percentage of gay couples than straight couples over all by a lot; and, oh yeah, (c) the alleged adverse effects of climate change are a hoax.

Note: Joseph Goebbels was chief propagandist for the Nazi Party and one of Hitler’s most devoted followers. He was one of the chief advocates for the extermination of all Jews.

2024: [9:28] – ARGH!! My blood pressure can’t take this!!

CATHOLIC: For more than a thousand years, Christians worldwide recognized that the Holy Scriptures contained 73 books until, oopsie daisy, ONE guy decided his Holy Spirit inspiration was so much better than that of all the Christians before him combined, that he and he alone could discern that seven of those books weren’t “really” canonical. Not only is that statement absurd on the face of it, but take a look at the biblical symbology of the numbers. Seven and three signify the completeness of God’s creation and the Trinity, while six is associated with man’s sinfulness and with Satan. When Martin Luther downgraded Holy Scripture from 73 to 66 books, he – one man – defied the teaching authority that the Holy Spirit had promised to the church and joined hands with Satan to deprive all of his followers the benefit of seven holy books. Just one of the evil outcomes of that has been that Protestants never pray for the souls in Purgatory.

2024: Trump has been charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records to hide non-disclosure payments (aka, “hush money”). The judge has ordered him to appear personally every day of jury selection and trial, thus denying him the opportunity to campaign against Biden.

Assistant District Attorney Matthew Colangelo called the payments a criminal conspiracy to commit election fraud. Retired Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz said the prosecution of Trump constitutes a criminal conspiracy to influence elections.

CDC: The Epoch Times FOIA’d emails pertaining to problems following the vaxxx. They contained redactions, so they petitioned to see what was left out. Redactions are allowed that protect “personnel and medical files and similar files” if their disclosure “would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”

The document cloud link below shows the redactions. The small blank outs of names etc. are clearly for privacy. But there are entire emails blanked out! The Epoch Times pointed this out and the CDC provided less redacted emails.

In one email, a provider reported a 30-year-old woman who suffered chest pain and leg twitching following COVID-19 vaccination, the CDC changed “got vaccine due to [redacted]” to show woman received a vaccine because of a mandate at work.

Several other cleared emails show the CDC tried to hide how multiple children, including a 2-year-old, were said to have suffered from a serious inflammatory illness called Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C, aka, Kawasaki Disease) shortly after receiving a shot. The CDC has claimed that MIS-C only happened after contracting COVID-19. Now they’re admitting they’ve gotten reports of it possibly happening after the jab.

Other revelations:

1. The age (17) and gender (male) of a heart inflammation patient;
2. A patient with “intense malaise” and other symptoms also had an elevated heart rate, per a portable electrocardiogram, and sinus tachycardia per a cardiology consultation.
3. The CDC program repeatedly told providers to go ahead and give more doses to people with post-vaccination symptoms.
4. The provider reporting his own wrote, “I … don’t know whether to fear another vax more or less than the risk of infection”;

FAUXTUS: Is he demented or just a serial liar? It’s hard to tell at this point. His latest was the whopper he told at a United Steelworkers union headquarters in Pittsburgh recently.

“My Uncle Bosey was a hell of an athlete, they tell me, when he was a kid. And he became an Army Air Corps, before the Air Force came along. He flew those single-engine planes as reconnaissance over war zones. He got shot down in New Guinea and they never found the body because there used to be a lot of cannibals in New Guinea.”

He made it sound like his uncle was a pilot who was shot down while on a heroic reconnaissance flight over a war zone. The official military report states that Second Lieutenant Ambrose J. Finnegan was a passenger on a courier flight whose engines (plural) failed and was forced to ditch in the ocean.

“The aircraft’s nose hit the water hard. Three men failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash. One crew member survived and was rescued by a passing barge. An aerial search the next day found no trace of the missing aircraft or the lost crew members.”

Finnegan’s war record shows he was assigned to the 5th Air Force (5th AF), Headquarters Squadron as a courier for the Advanced Echelon (ADVON) in New Guinea, which was an active war zone on land, sea and air from the start of the Pacific War until the surrender of Japan. Couriers provide a vital function in moving classified and sensitive material by hand from place to place. Clearly, anyone working in an active war zone is at risk and Finnegan paid with his life. But he wasn’t a pilot, he did not fly reconnaissance, and he was not eaten by cannibals.

UTAH: [1:12:58] – Dozens of students staged a walkout to protest the school’s tolerance of people who “identify” as a particular animal.

The kids say the so-called “furries” receive preferential treatment from the school’s administration. One student reported, “They run on all fours and pounce on people.” But the students who complain get punished by the school, not the furries. Another said, “If you don’t have proof, nothing happened. … However, if they pull out their phone and record something, then they get in trouble for recording it. Because [they] are not a minority, [their] voices cannot be heard.”

The school said they don’t have a furry problem. However, records show the problem has been documented since 2022. The Blaze (link below) posted multiple photos and videos sent to them by students.
