A Warning To Women: The Myth of Safe & Effective

In the late 1930s and early 1940s the pharmaceutical industry promoted a drug called DES as being Safe & Effective for “Women Issues.”

It proved to be exactly the opposite and it wasn’t until the 1970s the FDA finally removed this poison from the market.

By that time it had impacted two generations of women with the offspring of the first generation eventually called DES daughters who inherited massive health problems.

Many of these women are alive and dealing with these issues today.

Please watch this excellent video by Dr Sam Bailey exposing this massive, unforgivable fraud called Safe & Effective… that’s still being sold to us today.

This phony label has been a massive shield the pharmaceutical industry’s been hiding behind for over 80 years.

And when you finish Sam’s short video then please also watch Dr Sam’s video titled Safe & Effective – Then and Now which she links at the end.

It gives you the updated information on this extraordinary historical fraud.

Please share with everyone you care about.

Great Political Campaign Ads

A new 2024 political campaign ad has been released and has immediately gone viral on the Internet. The formal title on YouTube is “Nicole Shanahan Trump Derangement Syndrome TDS Commercial Ask your doctor about INDEPENDENCE.” It is posted below. I posit that it will take the place of “The Daisy Girl” ad as the greatest and most impactful ad of all time.

Some nostalgic persons will hold out for the 1984 ad “It’s Morning Again in America” which concerned briefly reviewing the record of Ronald Reagan (Republican) versus Walter Mondale (Democrat) as the greatest commercial. It is also posted below.

The “Daisy Girl” Ad: 1964 Presidential Commercial: Democrat Lyndon Johnson versus Republican Barry Goldwater.

However, the most famous of all political campaign commercials, known as the “Daisy Girl” ad, ran only once as a paid advertisement, during an NBC broadcast of Monday Night at the Movies on September 7, 1964. Without any explanatory words, the ad uses a simple and powerful cinematic device, juxtaposing a scene of a little girl happily picking petals off of a flower (actually a black-eyed Susan), and an ominous countdown to a nuclear explosion. The ad was created by the innovative agency Doyle Dane Bernbach, known for its conceptual, minimal, and modern approach to advertising.

The memorable soundtrack was created by Tony Schwartz, an advertising pioneer famous for his work with sound, including anthropological recordings of audio from cultures around the world. The frightening ad was instantly perceived as a portrayal of Barry Goldwater as an extremist. In fact, the Republican National Committee spelled this out by saying, “This ad implies that Senator Goldwater is a reckless man and Lyndon Johnson is a careful man.”

This was precisely the intent; in a memo to President Johnson on September 13, Bill Moyers wrote, “The idea was not to let him get away with building a moderate image and to put him on the defensive before the campaign is old.” The ad was replayed in its entirety on ABC’s and CBS’s nightly news shows, amplifying its impact.

Also below is a brief retrospective of other notable political campaign ads:

“We,” meaning the government. Revenue problems are “solved” via theft. Wealth thievery is the entire core of the fraudulent Harris campaign. Government exists to rule, steal, and spend.

The Off-Label Drug Bubble Effect

This is a tiny 3ml bottle of Prolensa, a simple nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) eye drop. I had to get this for my two cataract surgeries I have to undergo over the next two weeks. Big Pharma charges an average retail price of $400+ for this tiny bottle of liquid. I was told to use the hospital pharmacy because they can use a $271 coupon, and their price is “only” $351. So I paid “only” $80. Health insurances does not cover this commonly-prescribed eye drop for cataract surgeries.

I still read Pharmaceutical Executive (PE) magazine and Becker’s Hospital Review, even though I no longer work in the healthcare industry. PE, in particular, will refer often to “pharmaceutical boom & bust” periods. This refers – indirectly, of course – to pharmaceutical booms that come from pro-pharmaceutical regulatory frameworks, favorable health insurance coverage, fake pandemics + virology fearmongering, and government vaccine mandates. The “busts” are due to loss of a patent and the rise of an “evil” generic and, most recently, the end of a fearmongering era where the masses come to an “aha moment” and cease listening to the propaganda and succumbing to the gaslighting techniques. [ You know, those mandated v-word pokes ]

Tucker Carlson did an interview with Calley Means early in 2024 that you must watch. The topic was Ozempic, but the discussion covers the pharmaceutical hustle as a whole, especially the Obesity Industrial Complex. Mr. Means talks about the use of Ozempic being a “lifetime drug” because while the drug can manage obesity, it cannot cure the problem, as we all well know. While this drug was developed for Type 2 Diabetes, it is used off-label for weight loss *and* it is being touted as a potential miracle cure for cancer and Alzheimer’s. This is in spite of the fact that the drug paralyzes and destroys one’s stomach. Because when Pharma keeps inventing new “uses” for their drugs, the revenue stream stays intact. It’s an Off-Label Bubble effect.

Top Golf Hitting Bottom

The Entertainment Bubble continues to be predictable. I have been calling out the unsustainability of these mega-entertainment places since before the meltdown of 2008. The business model for Top Golf assumes an endless supply of credit card limits for its consumers to party with groups of infantile friends who also have no limits on their credit card debt. Even the website for a location near me (13 minutes away) screams of “party party party” for entertainment-needy adults who live in the moment. The cocktails are pricey and the food is second rate.

Even the menu is designed like a Saturday morning cartoon.

Who Turned “The American Dream” Into “The American Nightmare”?

There used to be something called “The American Dream.” Words like “independence,” “sovereignty,” and “limited government,” were extremely important to the American citizen. Today, all of these have been flipped upside down. “The American Nightmare” can accurately describe modern times. This nightmare is composed of “dependence,” “hegemony,” and a U.S. federal government that is the biggest and most indebted government in the history of the world!

Demo-Bolsheviks Flipflop on Third Party Candidates and Endorse Electoral Slavery

After doing everything imaginable to sabotage third party candidates like RFK, Jr. and Cornell West, the Demo-Bolsheviks are now all of a sudden arguing that one particular third-party candidate, RFK, Jr., is sacrosanct and should be forced to stay on the ballot in Michigan and Wisconsin despite the fact that he doesn’t want to be on those ballots and has suspended his campaign.  They obviously think this will take more votes away from Trump than their own Dodo Bird candidate.  Left-wing political hacks posing as “election officials” have “ruled” that Kennedy must remain on the ballots in those two states, enforcing this electoral slavery.

Steppenwolf – Monster

 

Check out this absolutely brilliant adaption of AI images which makes this powerful song even more relevant and contemporary today.

This was my favorite song when I was a teenager in high school.

Steppenwolf was definitely my favorite group.

It played a seminal influence in shaping my ideological world view.

I finally got to see Steppenwolf perform live in a little club in Tulsa in the late 1980s.

I was never much of a person to go to concerts or live performances, so this was significant.

I loved its brutally frank recitation of history, and the powerful indictment of the divisiveness fostered by statism it described, yet the central thrust was optimistic and libertarian (long before I knew the meaning of the term or concept of libertarianism).

That would come in November of 1970.

The song still captures my ideological world view perhaps better than anything else.

Presidential candidate Ed Clark at the 1979 Libertarian Party National Convention in Los Angeles made the concise statement below which also summarizes exactly what Monster was driving at in outlining what was crucially distinct about the founding of the American Republic:

“Freedom is the genius of American civilization. Other great nations have been born in conquest. Ours began with the Declaration of Independence, and the enshrining of the idea of the Natural Rights of Man. It was founded, not on the power of the State, but on the liberty of the individual. That principle of individual liberty has had its good days and its bad days in the United States, and it’s been denied to many groups of people for far too long. But the ideal has always survived. It is our answer, and our hope.”

Despite all their hits this song alone qualifies Steppenwolf & John Kay to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

This is one of the strongest political statements ever made in rock — and it’s incredibly prophetic.

The Truth About Contagion

Who can forget the 2011 Sci-fi Thriller Contagion?

But was it really Sci-fi…or was it a bit of Pre-Conditioning?

Watching it, one can’t escape how eerily the movie’s events predict the COVID-19 drama.

The movie was not reality, of course, but rather the “reality” they wanted us to fear.

Dr Sam Bailey shows us why now, and forever more, we can enjoy our lives while not buying into the fear of any Contagion storyline they’re selling.

Because they will continue to try to sell them to us.

Betting Markets Not Showing a Kennedy Bump for Trump…

however, Trump leads by one percentage point on Polymarket (as before the Kennedy endorsement, see below).  Harris was leading by 10 percentage points on August 15, but that lead has more than evaporated.  I will not be posting any more results from PredictIt because the current Harris lead there (56¢ Harris to 48¢ Trump) seems fishy and not adequately supported anywhere.  From more research, Polymarket looks more sound and accurate. 

If Trump makes no more blunders (yes, I know, what a laugh) Harris will definitely fall further.  He should pull out of the ABC debate and propose NBC (moderated by Lester Holt) at an earlier date and Fox (moderated by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum) at a later date, both debates or nothing.  If Harris refuses, move on, saying, “I already debated by all of their rules, they snookered me, now they want to change the rules (candidate mics on throughout the entire debate), I’m done, see you on election night.”

Learning From the Germ Theory Lost & Found Box

The history of the Germ Theory Narrative chronicles how its proponents have used censorship from its earliest days.

For over 100 years they’ve suppressed knowledge – and important scholarship – and consistently used political power in order to exclude all evidence of the Germ Theory fraud from being known to the general public.

A couple of days ago Mike Stone of ViroLIEgy.com had this posted article removed on Facebook for “Violating” their (overtly BS) rules.

In the spirit of neutralizing censorship I strongly recommend reading his article, HERE, and making up your own mind about what he presents.

Then, if you’re so moved –Please – share it widely.

This conversation deserves the light of day.

Thank you.

RFK Jr. – What “MAGA” Really Means

11:53 am on August 25, 2024

We may actually have the makings of two parties after all!

The newly empowered threat to Big Pharma, government secrecy and the CIA in a single man, Trump ally RFK, Jr is a breath of fresh air.  But hold their beer! Goodfellas Joe and Tony went into action and appointed a new Assistant Secretary of State for Israel and Palestine. She’s a literal arms dealer for Israel, came up through the ranks!  The GOP/Dem Uniparty laud the latter, as they condemn the former — but at least the teams are becoming clearer.  One wants more government secrets and lies, a command economy, wholly controlled speech, and continued success for their domestic and global war, money laundering and racism.  The other side, perhaps only because they have been silenced, sidelined and shot at, seems to oppose this more and more.  Is a kind of national clarity emerging that can reject the history of the 20th century and allow the US one more century?

Stop Being Afraid of Ghosts – and Germs

The Fear Propaganda pushing invisible pathogenic germs is heavily ingrained within our culture.

Of course, it’s always easier to sell a Narrative when It’s For The Children!

We’re taught these predators are Out To Catch Us

… When really we don’t Catch Colds or Flu but rather Build them – over time.

You can remove all fear of “Germs” by coming to understand that, just like ghosts, they only haunt us if we let them.

EMILE WOOLF – AUGUST 2024

Emile Woolf

Aug 21, 2024


There’s an old Jewish joke about the elderly family patriarch whose grief-stricken family is tearfully assembled around his deathbed to pay their last respects . “Is Taubele there?” he mutters; “Yes, Papa, I’m here” comes the reply. “Is Moishe there?” “Of course, Papa”. “Is Yizchak there?” “ Yes Papa” – and so on, as he names each member of his family in turn, enquiring of their presence. After hearing the last “I’m here, Papa”, the old man raises his croaky voice “so who’s looking after the shop?!

I was reminded of this fable while reading about the veritable army of 9.5 million people of working age in Britain who are  not working, yet are not classified as “unemployed”. No, these people are “economically inactive”, to use the preferred weasel-phrase to dissemble the plain truth that the majority of people so classified have said they are not looking for work, do not want a job, and are content to be living on ‘benefits’. So who, indeed, is looking after the shop?

The age of entitlement

The new Labour administration bleats about the miseries of working under unscrupulous bosses and the need for more worker “rights”. Ushering in a raft of new entitlements is never cost-free. The previous government attempted to import foreign workers to fill shortages, but this merely exacerbated our chronic housing shortage and highlighted bureaucratic ineptitude. But this time, since the onset of Covid, more than a million foreign workers have come to Britain, while 830,000 UK-born people have dropped out of work. Collective indolence is fueling the immigration disaster.

The benefits system, including public sector pensions, has strayed beyond providing a safety net for the most vulnerable, and now costs taxpayers £300 billion p.a. Almost 4m people are receiving out-of-work benefits without even having to look for a job. When the last government announced plans to tighten work-capability assessments last year the Labour opposition pledged to reverse them. Never mind the upfront cost – just think of the lost tax revenue and the lost productive capacity in our prevailing sick-note culture.

Perhaps it’s worth adding that, as police and the courts are struggling with the rising number of violent attacks on our streets, we can no longer safely assume that the attacker is a “terrorist”. We increasingly hear instead is that “he is a mental-health patient”. 

…..and mental health disability

When every HR department in the country prioritises ‘wellness’ and a ‘better work-life-balance’ it’s not altogether surprising to find that a staggeringly high rate of welfare claims is based on ‘mental illness’, and the general acceptance that conditions such as ‘anxiety’ preclude work. The percentage of working-age adults claiming disability benefits has trebled since 1992, and over half of all claimants cite mental illness as their disability. Discussion about neurodiversity attracts billions of hits on social media, focusing mainly on autism but also OCD, Tourette’s, bipolar disorder, dyslexia, anxiety and depression.

So rapid and ubiquitous is the spread of the mental disability syndrome that no section of the community could possibly be immune. And when I see the truly asinine nature of parliamentary output these days I am bound to wonder whether the inmates are already running the asylum!

Just look: according to the TaxPayers’ Alliance our national debt is rising by £382 million per day. Yet the round of public sector pay awards has barely begun. After members of Aslef’s train drivers’ union have been awarded inflation-busting pay rises, others are following. Staff on the LNER line are walking out and border officials are striking. Civil service numbers have gone up by over 20% since 2016. And they are set to rise even more when Labour makes all the “temporary” increases permanent. Does anyone in the treasury notice? Does anyone have the guts to declare that the ingrained spending routines are just plain mad?

Just look at the maths

And Sadiq Khan, London’s mayor, has jumped onto the loony-ride with his own insane (and unoriginal) contribution to the mix: rent controls – the socialist doctrine that unfailingly backfires every time it is resurrected. Rent controls reduce the availability of rental properties when their owners sell them or convert them to a different use. They also reduce the quality of rental accommodation when landlords try to recover lost revenues by skimping on repairs and amenities. Or they simply recognise that once a government displays no respect for private property rights and voluntary private agreements, it will not stop there. Like all interventions that produce a result the precise opposite of what is needed, rents are governed by the market – and Soviet-style suppression can never succeed.

Once again: on government’s myriad spending splurge, one is bound to ask, “where will the money come from?” Over 50% of the population are now ‘net recipients’ from the state, meaning quite simply that they are extracting more than they are contributing. You don’t need to be a Nobel scientist to see that this situation is utterly unsustainable. We have forgotten (assuming we ever knew) that the precursor to wealth must always be work. If it wasn’t your work, it must have been someone else’s. Otherwise known as theft? But in a sick-note culture fewer and fewer are net contributors. I repeat, “where will the money come from”?  I can hear the cogs of  a renewed “print-on-demand” programme warming up in Threadneedle Street. Followed by a level of monetary inflation and concomitant price inflation that Britain has not experienced since 1945.
