What exactly does he mean? Saratoga Springs, New York [JAMES HOWARD KUNSTLER] JAMES HOWARD KUNSTLER Dear Reader, Of all the vicious lies spun around the COVID-19 operation, among the most damaging was the campaign to demonize ivermectin. Ivermectin is a Nobel Prize-winning true wonder drug, among the safest known pharmaceuticals ever, effective against disease-causing parasites and also a potent antiviral agent — which was exactly why the CDC and FDA turned on it. It very effectively subdued COVID-19 infections as many studies have demonstrated. That is, it worked. Do you know how many people who were very sick from COVID took ivermectin and fully recovered in days? A lot. Oh, that’s just anecdotal evidence the vaccine-pushers will say; it doesn’t really count. Well, all I can say is that there’s a lot of anecdotal evidence out there that validates ivermectin’s effectiveness. And because of that, these agencies had to pretend that it was worthless and harmful, to protect the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the fabulous mRNA vaccines that were of questionable effectiveness and ended up harming, disabling and killing many people. Any treatment that proved effective would have invalidated the EUA and negated the liability shield that came with the EUA, protecting the vaccine manufacturers from lawsuits. Wait, What? Well, a week ago, in a lawsuit brought by three doctors against the FDA for its COVID-19 restrictions, DOJ lawyer Ashley Honold told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Louisiana that “FDA explicitly recognizes that doctors do have the authority to prescribe ivermectin to treat COVID.” Really? After three years of bad-mouthing the drug in public service announcements — horse and cow dewormer, not for humans! — and telling national boards of physicians not to use it, and telling the national organization of pharmacists not to fill prescriptions for it… which resulted in many states officially forbidding its use … which led to gross injustices such as the Maine Medical Board’s insane persecution of biowarfare expert and epidemiologist Dr. Meryl Nass (for which Dr. Nass is now suing them) … and to many other state boards revoking the licenses of doctors…. Days after that howler by DOJ lawyer Honold, the FDA honchos in D.C. walked back what she told the court, saying, “… it has not authorized or approved ivermectin for use in preventing or treating COVID-19, nor has the agency stated that it is safe or effective for that use.” The agency then invoked its battery of fake excuses for that ruling: studies are inconclusive, blah, blah, which is just more BS, you understand, because the bottom line is the same as ever: The FDA will not surrender the EUA and its various protections for the COVID vaccines. And it will employ any official lie to support that position. [Your Credit Card: Declined?]( [This Simple Chart]( Take a moment and picture this scenario: The line at the gas pump is getting longer as you insert your credit card for the second time. You decide to head in and ask the cashier what’s going on. There’s a long line inside. The woman in front of you looks frustrated. Everyone does. “There’s nothing I can do. You’re declined,” the cashier says to the man at the front of the line. It’s not just you. Everyone is declined. Something doesn’t seem right. A sinking feeling sets in as you realize something has gone terribly wrong. [Click here now for an urgent new prediction from a former advisor to the CIA and Pentagon.]( [LEARN MORE]( It also happened that going back to the 2019 debut of COVID-19, Dr. Anthony Fauci, then-head of the NIAID and Francis Collins then-head of the NIH — two related agencies that funded and supported coronavirus gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology — received many millions of dollars in “royalties” for their part in developing mRNA vaccines against the COVID-19 pathogen that they had priorly developed (the total dollar figure rumored to be above $300 million). See how that worked? Public Health Authorities Have No Authority If you are among that segment of the population that has not lost its mind, you might realize that the public health authorities have no authority. They lied outrageously about everything connected with COVID-19 and ruthlessly suppressed any information that challenged their narrative. We all know that now. And when they were caught lying, they just lied some more in the vain attempt to cover up their previous lies. And so, it would be foolish to regard anything they say from now on — without a complete housecleaning of agency personnel, plus some earnest prosecutions — as worth listening to and following. Authority, you see, is granted only to those who are trustworthy. Yes, it’s really that simple. If an authority lies about everything, and is caught doing it, then it’s rendered invalid. Now, it happens that the U.S. public health agencies, huge and costly as they are, make up only one part of the even larger and costlier U.S. government, which has been busy surrendering the authority of all its other parts for years now, to the point that the whole enterprise is untrustworthy and in need of a severe housecleaning. [Urgent Notice From Paradigm CIO Zach Scheidt!]( [This Simple Chart]( Hi, Zach Scheidt here… I’m the Chief Income Officer at Paradigm Press. With inflation raging (and showing no signs of coming to an end any time soon), almost everyone in America is feeling the pain in a big way. Which is why, several months ago, I set out on a big mission… my goal was to create a [complete, step-by-step plan to surviving and beating inflation]( one that anyone could take advantage of. Today, after hundreds of hours of research, I’m revealing all of my findings. [Simply click here now to see how to survive America’s deadly inflation crisis](. [LEARN MORE]( Traditionally, elections are the mechanism for cleaning that corrupt house, but our elections have lost their authority, too? Really? How so? Because the untrustworthy officials in charge of them employ dubious systems for gathering the vote: mail-in balloting that invites fraud and hackable vote-counting machines that are connected to the internet. I know, it’s all just some wild conspiracy theory. We all know the 2020 election was the “most secure” election ever. Give me a break. The defects of these voting schemes are so obvious they can hardly be ignored. And the remedy is obvious and simple, too: paper ballots hand-counted in small precincts of manageable size, all done on one day, which we call Election Day (and which should be a national holiday, so more working people can get to the polls). Somehow, though, we are unable to avail that remedy, probably because the untrustworthy people in charge would lose their jobs and the power they enjoy in a truly fair election. So they conclude, let’s not have that. COVID to the Rescue It’s even looking like the untrustworthy public health authorities are ramping up yet a new, fresh COVID-19 scare for the fall, in order to reinforce the special mail-in voting scheme that’s working so nicely (for them), and to disorder the minds of the public so they’ll be too frightened to notice that all the other parts of the government are failing in virtually all their duties to the people of this land. By November of 2024, somebody will be elected president or no one will be. At this point, it is probably down to an election that more than half the country won’t believe in or no election at all due to civil chaos so extreme it will make the 1861 weeks of secession look as tame as a middle school fire drill. Anyway, by that time the stock markets will be all a’crumble, all those Vanguard retirement funds will wash up like so many writhing grunions on Cabrillo Beach and your local bank will cap withdrawals at $500 a few weeks before executing the long-rumored bail-ins. In the meantime, bring on some new COVID variants and the lovely new booster vax that’ll work so well (not). Go ahead, we should say, I dare you. We won’t be fooled again.
