The Perfect Coup

cartoon by Bob Gorrell

Andrea Widburg, a/k/a Bookworm Room, posted “The Perfect Coup” - a hypothetical scenario – but one that’s been unfolding before our very eyes:

[Trump’s] indictment isn’t the first step;
it’s the last in a series of steps going back to 2016

If I were trying to overthrow a duly elected president, I’d start by saying that he conspired with a foreign power to cheat in the election. I’d believe I could get away with this charge because I would have the media on my side, relentlessly pounding away at the narrative. It would help that members of the president’s own party, despising him for destroying their cozy little arrangement with the opposition, refused to support him politically.

When it became apparent that the president was hugely effective at governing on those things that matter to ordinary people, such as the economy, national security, immigration, energy policy, etc., and that the false charges of treason and cheating, I’d look ahead to throwing the next election.

What I would need is a way to prevent the president from campaigning and a way to institutionalize election fraud. Thankfully, I would have gamed out long before the election what a government can do if faced with a pandemic infection. COVID’s appearance was providential. 

I would disagree here.  IMHO, COVID’s appearance was deliberate, as were the draconian protocols of vaxxing and masking (see e.g., Emerald Robinson here or Dr Robert Malone’s speech in Mexico City in March 2023).  But the balance of Ms Widburg’s scenario is spot-on.  Click here for the rest of it.

Medical Schools: The New Church of Woke

 

It keeps getting worse.  Here’s Jim Thompson at Red State on “Medical Schools: The New Church of Woke”:

The effort to turn medical schools into expensive schools of sociology started before 2022. In 2019, the effort for equity and inclusion was being added, ad hoc, to how professors taught medical classes. Nothing grips the mind like informing medical students that systemic racism is to blame for obesity and other medical conditions inherent with a person’s personal and unhealthy choices.

The push to blame everything on racism hit overdrive in 2020, when George Floyd, an addict loaded on fatal doses of illegal drugs, died. Medical schools went on strike. Students left their classrooms and headed to “church” — outdoors, wearing masks and kneeling with “Black Lives Matter” signs. It’s quickly becoming a traditional denomination for the left: Photos of medical students kneeling and heads bowed for protesting too much whiteness in white coats.

Now, there is a concerted effort to take up the time of medical students with religious indoctrination – a catechism of systemic racism, anti-racism, equity, diversity and inclusion.

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has released its official Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Competencies for medical students to commit to memory and practice. No longer is it good enough to be a good doctor; now, before a student, then resident medical doctor, can ply their trade, they must be full, card-carrying members of a cult.

The medical profession has already given itself a black eye for following the COVID protocols required by the CDC and NIH.  It’s getting worse.  Read the rest at RedState here.

For the vaccinated: recommended protocols

 

This blog has posted many reports that ask questions about the COVID vaccines.  We know people who have had already been vaccinated, and we remain concerned as more doctors (especially those who have been canceled on social media and elsewhere) explain their reasons for skepticism.   Seth Hancock at Libertyloft reports on two doctors discussing their reservations and suggesting pro-active protocols:

Doctors warn COVID-19 mRNA shots have long-lasting effects
but offer advice if you’ve submitted to experiment

Dr. Joseph Mercola recently interviewed Dr. Vladimir Zelenko about the COVID-19 mRNA shots from Pfizer and Moderna.

Although both are warning against the shots, there are things individuals can do to protect themselves if they did take the experimental jabs. First and foremost, do not take any of the booster shots in the future.

The discussion focused on the mRNA shots. While Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine is not mRNA, Mercola has provided reasons not to trust it either.

Zelenko has joined Dr. Michael Yeadon, former vice president of Pfizer, and Luc Montagnier, a Nobel Prize winning virologist, in issuing a dire warning that the “shots could reduce life expectancy by several decades, depending on several factors, including whether you’re required to get booster shots” and “there may be reason to suspect that many who get the jabs and subsequent boosters could lose their lives within two to three years,” Mercola wrote.

“I am not stating unequivocally that dire outcome will materialize,” Mercola stated, but “it would seem prudent to have a good protocol in your hands in anticipation of a worst-case scenario.”

Mercola stated that if you’ve made it three months after being fully inoculated, blood clots become less of a risk but other issues will remain including one’s susceptibility to the virus as he states the shots will not protect you from COVID-19.

“This is especially important for anyone that has received the COVID jab as they are at a high risk of having complications and are under the false impression that they are ‘protected’ when actually they are at increased risk now that they got the jab and need to take extraordinary precautions,” Mercola wrote.

If you have been jabbed and suffer respiratory issues, Mercola says to treat it immediately and recommends both hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.

“The take-home message here is that if you’ve gotten the jab, consider yourself high-risk for COVID and implement a daily prophylaxis protocol,” Mercola states. “This means optimizing your vitamin D, and taking vitamin C, zinc and a zinc ionophore on a daily basis, at least throughout cold and flu season.”
