Scientist: ‘smoking gun’ COVID-19 intentionally created by researchers in Chinese lab

MSN.com, 2/29/24; Pfc. Sandoval, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Hospitals were incentivized ($) to label everything
they saw (flu cases) as "Covid" to increase profits.

COVID-19 may [likely] have been created in a Chinese lab [Wuhan], a British professor told the United Nations Wednesday (2/28/24), with another expert claiming that evidence of the likelihood has reached “the level of a smoking gun.”

Dr. Richard H. Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University, was quoted saying in a new Wall Street Journal article that the virus that killed millions around the world may actually have been manmade in China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The plan-demic, Big Pharma's money cow

He cited evidence found in a 2018 document from the lab that talked of making such a virus. “[The document] elevates the evidence provided by the genome sequence from the level of noteworthy to the level of a smoking gun,” Dr. Ebright said in the piece by former New York Times Editor Nicholas Wade.

The papers from the lab cited by Dr. Ebright contained drafts and notes regarding a grant proposal called Project DEFUSE, which sought to test engineering bat coronaviruses in a way that would make them more easily transmissible to humans [which is called "gain of function," as Dr. Fauci has to concede he knew about and funded.]

Pharmaceutical-industrial complex spreads fear

The proposal was ultimately rejected and denied funding by DARPA (the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), but Wade suggested that their work could have been carried out by researchers in Wuhan who had secured Chinese government funding. More

THE CHRONOLOGY
Neal Smith, Occupied America: A Chronology of Nazi Infiltration and the War on Some Drugs

Seig, uh, Howdy! G.W. was the Nazi!

1820 — Rothschilds established as the leading bank in Europe. Bankers who allied themselves with the Rothschilds, and those who supported the Masonic order, found themselves well off. Those who didn't had a rough way to go.

1840 — During an attempt at alcohol prohibition, then-attorney Abraham Lincoln states: "Prohibition makes a crime out of things that are not crimes ... A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."

• FOREWORD

1842 — Cannabis makes up about half of all medicines sold in America. No one reports serious problems with use.

1850 — Cannabis prescribed as the prime medicine for more than 100 separate illnesses or diseases in U.S. Pharmacopoeia.

1865 — Northern Industrialists win War Between the States. Now have power base over agricultural South, influences westward expansion of U.S, location of railroads. Mary Todd Lincoln prescribed cannabis for the nervous breakdown she suffered following husband (President) Lincoln's assassination.

1875 — California, in a blatant act of racism, bans opium smoking by Chinese. Large, well-run opium houses ran out of business, replaced by smaller, less reputable houses. Usage increases.

1876 — Turkish hashish exhibition at Philadelphia's Centennial Exhibition was most popular. Fairgoers encouraged to return again and again to "enhance" their enjoyment of the fair.

1883 — First federal law against drugs. Congress heavily taxed smoking opium. First time taxation was used to legislate morality, instead of raise revenues. Controlled by Treasury Department.

1884 — Supreme Court decision making corporations artificial persons. Gives corporations 14th Amendment protections.

1888 — Using 1883 Opium Taxation Law as precedent, federal government banned certain types of opium from being imported, and banned Chinese from importing opium at all. Government now surrenders revenue raising in favor of controlling "morality."

1890 — Standard Oil of Ohio is refining 90% of America's oil, thanks to Rothschild financing.

1894 — Indian Hemp Drugs Commission report released to British. Study done in India. Judged the physical, mental, moral effects of smoking cannabis, urges against any prohibition based on "no appreciable physical injury of any kind, ... no injurious effects on the mind, ... (and) no moral injury whatever."

Ghost of Pres. Reagan: NSA spying
Cora Currier and Ryan Devereaux (firstlook.org/theintercept, 9-29-14)

The beloved, racist, right wing conservative

U.S. intelligence agents have broad authority to spy on U.S. companies as long as they are “believed to have some relationship with foreign organizations or persons” -- a description that could conceivably apply to ANY company with foreign shareholders, subsidiaries, or even employees -- according to newly released government documents published recently by the ACLU. The trove, which includes documents from the NSA, Department of Justice, and the Defense Intelligence Agency, confirms long-standing suspicions that the bulk of U.S. foreign surveillance operations are governed not by acts of Congress, but by a [ridiculous] 33-year-old executive order issued unilaterally by President Ronald Reagan.

• 10 Facts About Reagan Republicans Never Admit

1895 — Rothschilds begin to finance American business. They do so primarily through the Warburgs of Germany who were partners of Kuhn, Loeb, and Company of New York. Both Warburgs and Kuhn/Loeb would be principals of Federal Reserve Board. Rothschilds would finance Rockefeller's Standard Oil, Carnegie Steel, and the Harriman Railroad system.

1896 — McKinley elected president. Marcus Alonzo Hannah from Standard Oil of Ohio raised 16 million dollars for campaign, otherwise unheard of until 1960's.

1898 — Spanish American War starts, with William Randolph Hearst's "Yellow Journalism" fueling the fires. Hearst begins his long campaign of racism against Hispanics, "Orientals," and Africans, and the things they do in their cultures.

1900 — Mellon Bank, sixth largest in America, finances very successful oil "gusher" in Spindletop, Texas. Eli Lilly and Parke Davis, in a joint venture, develops strain of cannabis called "Cannabis Americana." Strain is a very potent Cannabis Indica, to be used in their medicines.

1906 — Pure Food and Drug Act (Wiley Act) passed. Opens door for government intervention into food and medicine production.

1911 — Standard Oil of New Jersey found in violation of Sherman Anti-Trust Act. Forced to diversify, though all companies they split into, John D. Rockefeller had at least 25% of stock. Therefore, spirit of Sherman Anti-Trust violated.

1912 — Wiley Act amended, giving government right to determine if a substance is "harmful."...

2000 — The annual budget for the War On Some Drugs request is the highest ever: $17.7 billion dollars...some claim $19 billion. It's not known as of this writing how much will actually be spent. As of this writing, Congress is debating spending up to nine billion additional dollars to arm the nation of Columbia in the War On Some Drugs. Many fear a repeat of the Vietnam fiasco. As of February 15, two million people are behind bars in America. With approximately [5%] of the world's population, we now incarcerate 25% of the world's prisoners. Of the two million, approximately 61% are jailed on drug charges. Of that group, approximately 82% are in on Marijuana charges. Of that subset, 65% are for mere possession cases. Reports begin to surface on the overuse of drugs like Prozac and Ritalin on preschool children. Amnesty International reports a continuation of abuses in the former Yugoslavia. The Kosovar Liberation Army, which the U.S. State Department claims is disbanded, still rules the streets of Kosovo. Twenty-eight thousand NATO troops remain as "Peacekeepers." The Miami Herald releases a document signed by an imprisoned Chilean Military Officer that directly implicates Chilean former President Augusto Pinochet. Pinochet was put into power in the 70's after U.S. President Richard Nixon's CIA provided assistance to overthrow popularly-elected Salvador Allende. According to the Herald, the document reveals Pinochet's involvement in a 1976 operation that assassinated Chilean exile leader Orlando Letelier. The bombing occurred in Washington, D.C. and is still considered the most serious act of international terrorism to date on U.S. soil. The Herald quotes Espinoza saying that "... by order of the President, we must begin an investigation of Orlando Letelier, who is threatening the stability of the Chilean Government." Espinoza was never extradited to the U.S. to face bombing charges, but he and one other were convicted of the bombing in Chile in 1995. More

You don't have to Diabetes!

Wisdom Quarterly (REPORTING), Health Freedom Expo 2012, Long Beach, California
 
What if there were a natural trace mineral missing in our depleted soil, highly processed diet? What if its absence were the key to reversing diabetes, high cholesterol, autism, kidney trouble, and hypoglycemia?

According to researcher Christopher Barr there is. And our government is well aware of it through published studies it chooses to ignore. It is, he says, as if the CDC actually stands for the Centers for Disease Creation. Barr has two small booklets that make a powerful case -- backed by mainstream science -- about the importance of supplementing the diet with food matrix embedded chromium.

We are told it is toxic. But what is toxic is the "picolinate" form, a cheap hexavalent (manufactured) poison damaging to the kidneys.

The form the body can absorb and utilize free of problems is GTF chromium derived by growing it on a special nutritional yeast base. There is no food with extra chromium to replenish the body. What little chromium exists in whole foods is utilized in the digestion of those foods with none left over to store up.

You Don't Have To DIabetes 

"Fifty-one years after U.S. NIH [National Institutes of Health] scientists discovered the key to diabetes, new infromation from the CDC [Centers for Disease Control] confirms this today. Right form [GTF chromium embedded in a food matrix] and right amount [50 mcg 3 x day minimum, double this max] is key -- few know much about this essential [trace] mineral and most of what the few know is wrong." (From the Sunday 4:00 pm seminar at the Long Beach 2012 Health Freedom Expo Guide, p. 34).

Barr does not sell nor profit from the sale of GTF chromium. But he recommends the website ChooseToBeHealthy.com. We found one recommended company to get this inexpensive trace mineral in a useful, absorbable form (InnateResponse.com).

How did this happen?

Chromium is lost by eating "whites" -- white bread, white rice, and worst of all white sugar. These are the highly "processed" (robbed of all natural nutrients) foods to avoid. But they make up the largest portion of the S.A.D. (Standard American Diet).

They are not only robbed of nutrients, they rob the body of what little chromium it has to digest them and make energy. Our chromium is not being replaced. Many Americans over 40 have zero chromium left. Usually eating whole foods provides just enough chromium for their own digestion, none extra. Deficiency is the cause of birth defects for women over 40 trying to have babies, not "old eggs" or natural DNA breakdown.

For thyroid issues (endinghypothyroidism.org) T4 is harmful! But this is what doctors prescribe by arrangement with very lucrative pharmaceutical companies. People need T3 and selenium, which fixes the thyroid. Iodine does not work without selenium.

Selenium

Selenium is also the oldest and most powerful scientifically establsihed cancer treatment -- going on 100 years.

This is not "alternative" medicine. This is ordinary medicine we are not told about -- in spite of the fact that studies have already been done and shown their effectiveness. InnateResponse.com offers both of these trace minerals, sometimes referred to as nutraceuticals, but SOME Whole Foods markets apparently also carry them.

Cholesterol problem? 

There is no such thing, according to Barr. Chromium manages cholesterol. And the LDL number does not matter so long as HDL is high. Up HDL with chromium supplementation.

The CDC should be understood to stand for the Center for Disease Creation. TYPE II DIABETES (adult onset) is the second highest form of the condition, not in adults but in preteens.

Meanwhile, we are also not told that white flour is technically against the law. The government, of course, does not enforce this law. And fortunately for the pharmaceutical industry, it is a major cause of many of our degenerative conditions.

It is the Number 1 most consumed food in American diet (20%), almost always with sugar. It is killing us in many ways, both by robbing us of nutrients and causing reactions. It is now found in various indigestible forms with hard winter red hybrids being unrecognizable to the body. Gluten sensitivity is the result and eventually allergies and chronic inflammation.

This is why kamut and spelt are, or were (before they were manipulated and made unrecognizable to the body as well) sometimes digestible by celiacs and other gluten-sensitive people.

Hypoglycemia is pre-diabetes we are told. In fact, one is not metabolizing sugars. It is not a problem of eating too much or too little sugar. One will not be able to without chromium. But chromium does not act alone as a magic bullet. Also associated, important, and missing in our low chromium diets are: silicon, magnesium, B6, and selenium.

• Visit NotADoc.org for the pertinent studies and listen to Barr's daily radio show out of Arkansas.

WARNING: The government-created form (chromium picolinate) is toxic. It is a hexavalent (manufactured) form that acts as a slow poison. It causes kidney damage because chromium naturally pools there for unknown reasons. It is the picolinate fraction that is so dangerous, not the chromium itself.

Autism

Low chromium is implicated in autism. Chromium potentiates insulin, which means one must adjust (lower) cholesterol medicine dosages, insulin shots, or whatever allopathic treatment one is taking as chromium levels are increased. One could go into insulin shock from taking the same amount of insulin or statin drugs when the body suddenly has enough chromium to utilize them. More

"Special K" for Depression (audio)

Jon Hamilton, NPR.org (Morning Edition, Jan. 30, 2012); Wisdom Quarterly

Chris Stephens, 28, who has been battling depression all of his life, plays with his dogs at home in Concord, Calif., on [Jan. 28, 2012]. After a dose of ketamine, Stephens says, "I actually wanted to do things. I wanted to live life" (Lianne Milton/NPR.org).

A [pharmaceutical anesthetic turned] club drug called "Special K" is generating a lot of buzz among researchers who study depression.

That's because "Special K," which is actually an FDA-approved anesthetic named ketamine, can relieve even suicidal depression in a matter of hours. And it works on many patients who haven't responded to current antidepressants like Prozac.

• Could club drug offer "almost immediate" depression relief?
• When it comes to depression, serotonin isn't the whole story (Pt. 1) Conventional wisdom holds that a chemical imbalance causes depression, but the truth is much more complex.
• Drug Enforcement Agency (for Parents): Ketamine

Those traditional drugs, which act on the brain's serotonin system, can take more than a month to kick in and don't work for up to 40 percent of people with major depression.

"We can take care of a migraine in hours," says Dr. Carlos Zarate, MD, a brain researcher at the National Institute of Mental Health who is studying ketamine. More

Drugs?
Wisdom Quarterly (COMMENTARY)
Prozac, Zoloft, Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan, Valium, Paxil, Remeron, Gabapentin, Buspar, Depakote... -- are expensive and toxic drugs that actually work no better than placebos. (Placebos can work pretty well). They are tested on tortured animals and human guinea pigs because, as artificial toxins introduced into an organic system, they are expected to cause nausea, stomach lining bleeding, headaches, insomnia, suicidality, bizarre behavior, and negative sexual side effects.

Pharmaceuticals are not intended to "cure" depression, by their own labelling. They are meant to be expensive lifetime habits controlled by prescription and relied on like crutches. Actual cures (diet, allergen and sugar removal, avoiding excitotoxins, and artificial ingredients, binaural beats, meditation, or therapeutic use of DMT, mushrooms, super microdose LSD, iboga, etc.) are outlawed or restricted to research by pharmaceutical companies that are striving to develop synthetic chemical analogs for the next big thing to cash in on before mounting lawsuits force the FDA to realize that any synthetic product does more harm than good.

I'm struggling lately in my Dharma practice. I haven't meditated in months -- not because I don't want to, because I do, but because I just can't get myself to do it. A large part of it is my mental illness, which makes finding motivation extra challenging, especially when the heavy medicating drugs I have to take to prevent mania and psychotic episodes zap me further of the will to do much of anything (TheBuddhistBlog).

Better options to try are exercise, lifestyle changes (radical alterations that break the habits holding us in place), fasting, riluzole, a less potent ketamine, or scopolamine, which is used to prevent seasickness, according to Maura Furey (National Institute of Mental Health). There are many herbs as well as energetic medicine (such as Traditional Chinese Medicine), exploring recovery (uncovering molestation or childhood traumas that addictions or dysfunctional behavior often mask) because we either work it out or act it out.

Coca Cola RECIPE revealed

Wisdom Quarterly
(Blink967) At least Pepsi, which is just as bad, makes funny ads using Buddhist monks.

This American Life's Ira Glass revealed the addictive ingredients that went into the original Coca Cola. It has no doubt gotten worse with the addition of synthetic excitotoxins euphemistically referred to as "natural flavors." (The only thing "natural" about them, according to FDA labeling guidelines, is that artificial chemicals are used to mimic something that exists in nature.)

"Coco cola" was originally concocted as a syrupy medicinal drink using tropical ingredients and dispensed at soda shops. The addition of massive amounts of sugar alone made it habit forming and carcinogenic. Cancer rates going up and hitting people younger? What a surprise. Adding alcohol, cocaine, caramel coloring, and neurotoxins (synthetic replacement of the original tropical fruit and nut oils) then cinched its addictive profile.

Snorting Coke? Soft drinks train us for hard (fermented) drinks.

This gave us the need we have felt ever since to drink this poisonous chemical brew, ride the sugar spike, and hit a low lower than we began with, which leads us to think another would be a good idea. Coca Cola remains the only American corporation with the legal right to import coca leaf and legally produce the illicit drug cocaine. It claims to no longer use it in its formulation, but it retains the right to produce it in great quantities (for sale to labs, street kids, the CIA?)

• sugar - 30 lbs
• cocaine (fluid extract of coca) - 3 drams
  
• alcohol - 8 oz
  
• oils of orange, lemon, nutmeg, coriander, neroli, cinnamon (tree bark)
  
• citric acid, caffeine, lemon juice, vanilla
• soda water (necessary or it would be impossible to consume this cloying amount of sugar without the body rejecting it by vomiting or avoiding it due to surfeit.

The exact level of cocaine was not quantified but it was sufficient to produce a "buzz" with 4 to 5 drinks, according to early newspaper accounts. Why only 30 lbs of sugar? There are now 16.25 teaspoons of sugar (1 tsp = 4 grams) in a 20 oz (590 ml) bottle, 9.25 teaspoons per can. Any more and it would become a syrup. Soda manufacturers have not found a way to add sugar and keep the formulation liquid. The addition of brain toxic artificial sweeteners (like aspartame) makes it worse on the brain than sugar.

• To make fluid extract of coca. Buy whole leaf coca tea. Instructions for making coca extract from this can be found online. You don't need much. The recipe calls for 3 fluid drams, which is equivalent to 1/8 of a fluid ounce or -- an easier measurement for a home kitchen -- 3/4 of a tablespoon.
• Make the syrup. Once you have your 7X flavor, and your fluid extract of coca, you are ready to mix them with your other ingredients to make the syrup. Mix your ingredients in this order: water, sugar, then coloring, then coca extract, then vanilla extract, then caffeine, then lime juice, and citric acid.

Marijuana: Medicine or Poison?

Wisdom Quarterly

Celebrated in the media, frowned on by cops (on duty), abused by the public, bemoaned by collaterally damaged victims of others' abuse... pot is funny; that doesn't make it healthy. How to quit pot addiction

The Buddha did NOT smoke marijuana, survive on hemp seeds, or advocate the consumption of any intoxicant, no matter what Cypress Hill or hempsters suggest. (Hemp good, drug harmful).

On the contrary, the fifth precept runs: "I undertake to abstain from consuming intoxicants that occasion heedlessness." Laying around sinking like a stone instead of advancing is spoken of as a terrible thing in the Advice to Householders.

In fact, he warned that "There are, young householder, six miserable consequences to indulging in intoxicants that occasion heedlessness: loss of wealth, increase in quarrels, susceptibility to disease, loss of reputation, indecent exposure, and weakened intellect" (Sigalovada Sutra).

If people get stoned, that's on them. The crime is thinking, saying, or acting as if the Buddha is applauding or winking.

• Wisdom Quarterly's BOTTOM LINE: We don't care if you smoke it, but don't allow yourself to be deluded into thinking it's a "Buddhist" thing to do. (If you "have" to have it, note what the HHC says is good about it*).

Marijuana is UNSAFE

Sam de Brito (smh.com.au)

Before we answer this, let me say I've smoked more dope than 95 per cent of readers, guaranteed. For close to 20 years I inhaled leaf, tip, buds, bush heads, hydro, chocolate "Buddha," sinsemilla [seedless], Mexican dirt weed, power skunk, Maui wowie, black hash, brown hash, green hash, hash oil, the putty out of downpipes... even ground up seeds and stems.

I've cooked with pot, eaten it [along with countless munchies] in cakes, brownies, banana bread, and straight off the plant. I've drunk it in thick shakes and smoothies, teas, bong water and, once, smeared resin on my eyeballs because someone told me it would get me stoned. (It didn't work).

I've grown it, stolen in, given it away, traded it for a wetsuit, even pretended it was parsley and kangaroo scat when selling it. So please don't tell me I'm anti-dope.

I just reckon it's time that people, in an attempt to sound enlightened, stop telling the world that "marijuana is harmless [or marijuana is healthy]." Anyone who's been around it for long enough knows that's not true.

I do not know whether others have ever heard voices after taking drugs. But I have, several times, and it used to be what I paid good money for. The problem was, as my drug career deepened and lengthened, those pesky head noises would appear after just one cone of hydro (hydroponically-grown). And there's the rub.

Hydro-marijuana is everywhere nowadays. It's the dope of choice for younger smokers, because nothing else delivers the punch and the value for money like a knuckle of super-sticky buds out of some biker's basement grow-room.

If one examines a hydro set-up, it is obvious they get hot and humid. Thus they are a magnet for every type of bug and insect within a mile. This is why a lot of growers hit their plants with a cocktail of pesticides and fungicides that make Agent Orange look like asthma medicine.

This means the plants, and the buds kids smoke, are also chock full of those pesticides. This is in addition to chemical fertilizers chosen by growers whose knowledge of chemicals and their effect on the human brain is limited to nonexistent. More

Treatment

The negative effects of marijuana addiction will impact an individual physically, emotionally, psychologically, and socially, causing the person's life to be unproductive and even disconcerting. Fortunately, addiction treatment can help establish energy and progress to individuals robbed of life by marijuana addiction. There is a reason why the individual smokes. And all of those reasons rolled up into one do change the fact that they experience harm as a result. It is not enough to switch addictions. More

• *Why is weed good? The problem with even organic (pesticide-free) cannabis is that the government and private growers have bred plants to drastically increase THC levels. In the process, they lowered levels of potentially beneficial (entheogenic?) components called cannabinoids like CDB, CBN, and THCV, according to Stephen DeAngelo (Harborside Health Center) in a mind blowing, pro-pot interview with Caroline Casey.

Our US Military on Drugs

America's Medicated Army (Illustration by Lon Tweeten and D.W. Pine for TIME)

(TIME.com) "Seven months after Sergeant Christopher LeJeune started scouting Baghdad's dangerous roads — acting as bait to lure insurgents into the open so his Army unit could kill them — he found himself growing increasingly despondent. 'We'd been doing some heavy missions, and things were starting to bother me,' LeJeune says..." More>>

(WQ) A natural reaction but a military doctor prescribed heavy psychotropic drugs. (And if you can't trust military psychiatrists, who can you trust?) LeJeune was shamed and "psychologized." The pharmaceutical industry, after all, is more profitable than the oil industry. So far as the military is concerned, there's nothing better than a soldier who is light on his feet and happy in mind when he's killing "the enemy," whoever that happens to be at the time.

You will follow orders -- without question -- and you will kill, even if you have to be medicated into doing so. Soldiers may (or may not) have an excuse for their atrocities and crippling silence. But one has to wonder what everyone else's excuse is. The karmic result, while by the fact that it is often coerced, is still very heavy for any killers and those who support, praise, and approve of their killing.

Fear of the Flu?

(WQ) Fear, the media demands it. It fans the flames in the guise of good science when the research bias is built into the process. In spite of all other evidence, fear rules. One worries, and it is by fear and worry that one does things certain to cause harm in the hopes of escaping possible harm. Who would purposely inject toxins like mercury (Thimerosal or Thiomersal) and substances likely to induce autistic spectrum disorder in children, pregnant women, or anyone? A fearful person would. Vaccines -- not as a concept but as they are practiced by the pharmaceutical industry -- will harm those who ingest them. While doing little if any good, harm is guaranteed. Unfortunately, mass panic makes vaccination demand a social phenomenon. However, as an individual decision, it is possible to avoid harm.

• Education trumps fear (Healthy Planet, Healthy Me, 10/23/09)
• LISTEN NOW or DOWNLOAD

The medium of the vaccine is animal-based. No version of it is vegetarian. Whether one is ingesting a live virus (attenuated) as a mist or by injection, the body is being burdened by toxins that will not prevent contracting the disease and are likely to lead to the disease. The harm is called iatrogenic. An incomprehensible amount of harm is caused by pharmaceutical products prescribed and used as directed. It is not an accident, it is not misuse. Education and non-fear, keeping oneself sane and balanced in spite of a panic or media frenzy, is the solution. This is neither the first campaign nor will it be the last. This is how wars are sold to the public, how people accept the loss of civil rights, and how we hand over our health. It will happen again. Politicians are complicit, and trusted voices in public health and the university follow along. Look into it, beyond the scare tactics, or be afraid, very afraid. An example of the immediate harm brought on by worry is the harmful use of "hand sanitizers."
