SARS, Gain of Function, COVID, and the Vax: A Timeline

MissPiggy compiled the following timeline for our skype group. I’m not going to tell you what to think about all this; you can easily draw your own conclusions.

2002

November: University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (UNC) researcher Ralph Baric publishes a “breakthrough work” in gain-of-function research (studies that alter pathogens to make them more transmissible or deadly), describing the creation of a synthetic clone of a natural mouse coronavirus.

November: China’s Guangdong province reports the first case of “atypical pneumonia” (later labeled as SARS).

2003

October 28: A paper by the Baric research group at UNC describes their synthetic recreation of the “previously undescribed” SARS coronavirus. (Writing in 2020, a scientist states, “The speed of the Baric group illustrates how quickly a qualified team of virologists can create a synthetic clone from a natural virus, and therefore make genetic modifications to it. Moreover, that was back in 2003. Today, a qualified laboratory can repeat those steps in a matter of weeks.”)

2011

December 30: Dr. Fauci promotes gain-of-function research on bird flu viruses, arguing that the research is worth the risk. The risks worry other “seasoned researchers.”

2012

Christine Grady, wife of Anthony Fauci since 1985, becomes head of the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, opening up the possibility of numerous conflicts of interest concerning vaccines, HIV and COVID-19. Grady previously served in the Department of Bioethics as an investigator (2004-2012), senior staff bioethicist (1996-2004) and head of the Section on Human Subjects Research (1998-2014). Like her husband, Grady has made HIV a central career focus, including stints on the Scientific Advisory Board of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (which Fauci helped launch), as a paid consultant for the WHO and UNAIDS and, in 1987-1988, as a staffer for President Reagan’s Commission on the HIV Epidemic. Grady’s 1995 book is titled The Search for an AIDS Vaccine. Fauci, who became NIAID director in 1984 under Reagan, holds a number of HIV vaccine-related patents.

April 20: Baylor College researchers publish their evaluation of four vaccine candidates for SARS, concluding that “Caution in proceeding to application of a SARS-CoV vaccine in humans is indicated.”

May: The 194 Member States of the World Health Assembly endorse the Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP), led by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in collaboration with NIAID, WHO, Gavi, UNICEF and others. Dr. Fauci is one of five members on the GVAP’s Leadership Council.

October: Fauci writes article in the American Society for Microbiology saying “gain of function” benefits outweigh the risks.

2013

May 7: Email from Kary Mullis to the widow of boxer Tommy Morrison, whose career and life were destroyed by an “HIV test,” and who litigated ferociously for years, against test manufacturers. Dr. Mullis wrote on May 7, 2013:

“PCR detects a very small segment of the nucleic acid which is part of a virus itself. The specific fragment detected is determined by the somewhat arbitrary choice of DNA primers used which become the ends of the amplified fragment.”

“If things were done right, ‘infection’ would be a far cry from a positive PCR test.”

“PCR is a needle in a haystack technology that can be extremely misleading in the diagnosis of infectious diseases.”

2014

Merieux (former employer of Moderna CEO) is instrumental in creating high-security P4 Lab that opened in Wuhan in 2014.

Dr. Deborah Birx takes the helm of PEPFAR (the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief), which Dr. Fauci helped launch (in 2003) and which benefits from generous Gates Foundation support. Birx and Fauci are long-time allies, having worked together during the early years of AIDS and sharing overlapping career paths.

October 7: National Institutes of Health (NIH) director Francis Collins announces a “new phase of cooperation” between NIH and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, including partnering for vaccine development.

October 17: U.S. funding of SARS to create a biological weapon is paused due to the extreme risk of a pandemic. However, the pause allows agencies within the U.S. government to continue funding if they determined “the research is urgently necessary to protect the public health or national security.”

Joe Gilpin’s Ride

Our longtime German translator JLH sends occasional pastiches and spoofs. His latest poetic effort is an inside-the-Beltway extravaganza.

Joe Gilpin’s Ride

by JLH

Joe Gilpin was a politico
Of dubious renown;
A life-long lover of taxes was he,
Of storied Washingtown.

Joe Gilpin’s wife was Dr. Lill,
Who said one day to him:
“Of all the years that we’ve been married,
Not one has not been grim.

“When we meet females of any size,
Or age or other description,
Your hands perform as if they were
Decoding a Braille inscription.

“You did it as a senator,
And for many long years past,
And though your thoughts are slower now,
Your hands are just as fast.

You love the Secret Service girls
Who must guard you when you swim,
Cavorting nude so they can see
Your legendary limb.”

He fondly answered, and lightly stroked
Her piquant derrière,
“Just as I love all taxing schemes,
To take whatever’s there,

“Just so, I love all female-kind,
And that is why I dare
To stroke a lovely female rear
With kind grandfatherly care.

“They know indeed I mean no harm,
I’m old and devil-may-care.
I just love women, girls and all,
And love to smell their hair.

“So where my hands are when I sniff
Nobody needs to know,” he said,
And sauntered inattentively down
To where the Capitol subway sped.

He was going to a birthday bash
For a 12-year-old he knew,
Bringing Château-Neuf-du-Pape,
Either a cuvée or a cru,

Stuck out his foot and made a pose,
To enter with éclat,
Departing then with such a speed
As provoked in all great awe.

For a squirrel somewhere had trod too far,
And blown a transformer out.
And this, while mortal for the beast,
Did things no one could doubt.

Joe’s foot had wedged between two seats,
And drew its writhing master
Away at speed and then perforce
Continued even faster.

And as he flew and writhed and screamed
And fiercely clutched the wine,
He disappeared with the subway car,
Around a corner down the line.

“Good heavens. Joe!” called Dr. Lill.
“Don’t lose that costly stuff,
For if you do, I promise you,
Homecoming will be rough!”

Don’t Ax, Jes’ Git the Vax

A public service ad in a local paper caught my eye today. It was put out by “Vaccinate Virginia”, the state body responsible for pushing the COVID-19 “vaccine” on citizens of the Commonwealth. I couldn’t find an online version of the ad, so I scanned the relevant portion of the newsprint copy. The hideously misaligned color offset printing makes the woman’s eyes look bizarre — she seems to be a demon from hell:

The ad doesn’t say so explicitly, but the obvious implication is that if you want to get back to grilling burgers on the patio, you have to get the vax first. Anyone who doesn’t is, you know, selfish, and, like, wants to kill Grandma.

I had to scroll through a lot of vax propaganda while I was looking in vain for this particular image. I do my best to stay away from government propaganda, so I hadn’t realized how much of it the Virginia Department of Health has cranked out since the beginning of the “pandemic”. Looking through it all was an onerous task — it made me feel vaguely sick to examine it in detail. I think it’s bad for my health.

As a public service for my readers, I grabbed a selection of images — paid for by my tax dollars — that are designed to prod citizens of the Commonwealth to get the jab. You’ll notice that the stylized coronavirus in the logo looks like it has eaten the state of Virginia:

Man, that’s a big needle! Is it supposed to reassure me? Or frighten me?

I suspect the doctor of color is intended to provide extra reassurance for people of color, who seem to be the target audience for most of the propaganda. The “diversity” quota in all the images is even higher than usual — I estimate that about 75% of the people in the ads I looked at were either black or Hispanic. According to the polls, blacks are more reluctant than whites to get the vax, so maybe that’s the reason.

And the VDH made sure to urge Muslims to get the kafir vax:

91-Year-Old Woman Raped to Death by Culture-Enricher

Here’s another sick, disturbing story from Modern Multicultural France. Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from Le Figaro:

In Paris, a 91-year-old woman dies after being raped during a burglary

An elderly woman reportedly suffered extreme violence including rape, according to a police source, before succumbing to her wounds. A suspect was arrested Tuesday.

June 15, 2021

In his odious crime, the executioner spared his victim nothing, however fragile she was. On Friday June 11 a 91-year-old woman died following a sordid break-in, Le Parisien reports. A suspect has been arrested, and the investigation is still in progress.

On June 10, ne of her acquaintances, upon coming to pay her a visit, discovered the victim in her apartment near Place d’Italie (13th arrondissement), her body showing signs of the attacks, but still alive. Transported to Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital and placed on an artificial respirator, she succumbed to her injuries the next day. Among her observed wounds were cranial trauma, several fractures and hematomas, and also signs of rape, according to a police source. An investigation has been opened by the prosecutor’s office and assigned to the 3rd district of the Judicial Police (3e DPJ) for rape leading to the death and burglary, “At this stage of the investigation the exact nature of the violence committed cannot be determined,” the prosecutor cautioned.

At the residence police established some facts and gathered clues: The attack is believed to have occurred between 4 and 7 in the morning, without anyone hearing. On Tuesday 15 June, a homeless man of about 20 years of age was arrested at Sarcelles (Val-d’Oise). According to a police source close to Figaro, it is reportedly an individual of Pakistani origin. His fingerprints match those discovered in the victim’s apartment. The man is known to the police under several aliases, “changes his date of birth often”. The analyses are in progress for involvement in a possible rape, and it is not yet known how the burglar got into the apartment.

The apartment on the ground floor was far from being isolated, and Berthe herself led a calm life still rich in interactions: between the home aides and nurses, she received up to five people each day. “She was a small lady who could only move about with her walker. In the evening, one of the persons came to her to help her out of her wheelchair. Physically, it wasn’t that good. But mentally she was all there,” reports a witness quoted by Le Parisien, while a neighbor adds that she was known for her generosity: “She had her heart in her hand, willingly gave a small room to people who needed it. It is disgusting what happened to her.” This woman had a daughter.

A New Dutch Cabinet? Don’t Hold Your Breath.

Our Dutch correspondent H. Numan sends an update on the interlocking political scandals in The Netherlands.


Geert Wilders tweeted: “An outing of the CDA party faction”

A new Dutch cabinet? Don’t hold your breath.

by H. Numan

I’ve reported about the Dutch elections in March. How’s the cabinet formation going? Not quite well. And it won’t, for the foreseeable future. A game changer event happened: Pieter Omtzigt resigned from his party. His resignation makes an extreme left-wing minority cabinet inevitable. A crazy left-wing cabinet, as the biggest party in it will be the “conservative” VVD party. So, what happened?

For many decades Dutch politics were ruled by religious parties. Our first real political party was the ARP or Anti Revolutionary Party. They were staunchly protestant (Calvinist). What revolution they were against? The French revolution! Yeah, I never understood why either. Vive le roi! In those days Dutch society was strongly pillared. Everything was segregated according to religion or political affiliation. I’ve told you that many times. You were born into a (in my case) Catholic family. That means an RC nurse delivered you. Your mum would visit the RC baby-care center. You’d go to an RC kindergarten, primary school, secondary school, get a job in an RC company, date and marry (in that order) an RC girl, if necessary go to an RC hospital, retire to an RC nursing home and eventually be laid to rest in an RC cemetery. You’d listen to the RC radio KRO, and vote for the Catholic KVP party. I experienced the last remnants of that society.

That changed completely in the ‘60s. The pillars disappeared, together with confessionalism. Religion was no longer a focal point in one’s life. Two protestant and one Catholic party realized they would no longer be able dominate politics. From now on, a cabinet without any religious parties was a strong possibility. They decided to merge, and formed the CDA or Christian Democrat Appèl (Appeal). That way they could still rule over Dutch politics for decades, which they did.

Like the proverbial whore of Babylon, they did it with anyone in any way. Usually with the — then — conservative VVD. A progressive cabinet was no problem for the Christian Democrats. We’ll do any trick you want, big daddy! They positioned themselves as the inevitable and unavoidable center party.

It was a smart move, but nonetheless a rearguard action. Because the trend in western Europe is secular, definitely so in Holland. For many Americans probably a rude awakening, or a refreshing shower, depending your point of view. In Dutch politics your sexual preference doesn’t matter. We’ve had plenty of gay politicians. You can be openly gay in America, but you’d never be in the running for president. Likewise, we have plenty of openly atheist politicians. When an American politician admits he is an atheist he just told you he’s not interested in a higher office. Your evolution vs creation politics are for us laughable. Or hilariously ridiculous. No European politician would be crazy enough to admit he’s a creationist. In America he’s taken seriously. In Europe, and particularly in Holland, he’d be the village (or a real) idiot. Religion does play a role, but nowhere near the way it does in America. Home schooling, for example, is not even possible.

Understandably, that had consequences for the Christian Democrat Party. They were — and are — in a sort of limbo. What to do? With the resignation of Pieter Omtzigt, the last shreds of credibility went with him. Everybody knows the CDA is now a wishy-washy party only looking for political power. CDA stands for Christenen Dienen Allah, or Christians serving Allah. Literally, as they accepted many mohammedans in the party and promote them to influential positions. When mosques want to broadcast the adhan over loudspeakers, it’s not only progressive parties that support it. The CDA also does that. Much more so than other parties. Because they want to show they are still a religious party. Yup, including that religion. Corruption scandals are standard in every political party. It’s just that the CDA top seems to think that the C stands for corruption. They eventually lost power in 2010, when premier Balkenende had to resign. He was at that time too religious and far too Calvinistic for the electorate. The CDA went into decline. Right now, that decline is terminal. Nay, they are dead. No resurrection over the weekend. Dead as a dodo.

A Midsummer Daydream

Dymphna died just four days before the thirty-ninth anniversary of the celebration of our marriage. The photo at the top of this post was taken forty-one years ago today, on June 21, 1980 (our actual marriage had taken place the previous fall at the county courthouse). After the service we held a reception for relatives and friends back at our house, which is now known as Schloss Bodissey.

I’ve blurred out the face of my good friend in the background who officiated at our little service, and cropped off the maid of honor on my left and the best man on Dymphna’s right.

My mother had given Dymphna her own mother’s wedding ring, and I’m wearing my late father’s wedding ring.

1980 — just the other day!

Sweden Throws the Book at an ISIS Terrorist

A “Swedish” Muslima who went to Syria to join the Islamic State had her children taken away when she returned to Sweden. When she threatened to kill a health care worker, the Swedish justice system threw the book at her — it made her talk to a shrink.

If that fails, of course, there’s always the Comfy Chair.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from the Swedish news site Samtiden, which is published by Sverigedemokraterna (the Sweden Democrats):

ISIS Terrorist Sentenced for Death Threat Against Health Care Worker

When the returning ISIS terrorist had her children forcibly taken into child protective custody, she threatened a health care worker with death. Now the woman has been sentenced to court-mandated psychiatric care.

The woman, who returned from ISIS in Syria and threatened a healthcare worker with death in April, has been sentenced to the psychiatric section of the Södra Älvsborg Hospital. The health care worker allegedly would have seen her family killed.

The ISIS terrorist said that she would “find them” and slit the throat of the health care worker’s father.

“It was very uncomfortable. I became afraid. I took it most seriously. It felt real,” the health care worker told the hearing, which GT news reported.

District court sentences to psychiatric care

The ISIS terrorist was charged with a threat against a healthcare worker. The District Court of Borås found the woman guilty and sentenced her to court-mandated psychiatric care.

“From the court-mandated psychiatric investigation that the ISIS terrorist subsequently went through, it has now emerged that she committed the act she was charged for under the influence of a serious psychiatric disorder…” the court writes in its ruling.

The woman traveled from Sweden to Syria in 2014 to join the ISIS terror organization. She traveled together with her husband and their children.

According to information from the National Operative Section (NOA) of the police, the woman was engaged in recruiting other women into Islamist terror activity.

Dutch Culture-Enrichers Are Out of Control

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from De Dagelijkse Standaard:

Justice confirms: Safe country asylum-seekers can hardly be controlled after their asocial and criminal outbursts

by Wout Willemsen
June 15, 2021

The Justice and Security Inspectorate has come out with a new report following an investigation into trouble-making asylum-seekers. And what is the result? Asocial and criminal asylum-seekers can hardly be reformed unless real action can be taken.

Moroccans, Algerians, Libyans, and Tunisians, better known as asylum-seekers from “safe countries”, are the biggest cause of the problem. In the normal asylum centers, they continue to show asocial and criminal behavior, probably also due to the fact that “boas” [investigating officers] and other security personnel are hardly allowed to intervene, according to Het Parool.

There is, however, a special center for adult asylum-seekers in Hoogeveen. Employees there have the authority to impose sanctions and physically intervene. The result? Significantly less trouble

The Inspectorate thus confirms what the rest of the Netherlands has long known: Doing nothing doesn’t help while doing something does. State Secretary Ankie Broekers-Knol, herself the queen of doing nothing, is now getting advice from the Inspectorate to give COA [Centraal Orgaan opvang asielzoekers, Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers] workers more authority and to train them so that they really can and are allowed to intervene.

That should be a big improvement, but naturally, it is still a plaster on a festering wound. The Dutch government still can’t send this type of asylum-seeker back, purely because the country of origin doesn’t cooperate and actually tells the Netherlands, “Last touched!”.

Thus, the situation remains just as pitiful, but in any case, slowly but surely, the problem is becoming known to the government itself. Now one just awaits a cabinet that will actually turn the harsh campaign rhetoric of the VVD [Volkspartij voor Vrijheid en Democratie, People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy] into policy in which asylum-seekers from safe countries can actually go and enjoy the summer sun in their own, safe country…
