I’ve got some unfortunate and difficult news to share. I know many of my close friends and family would’ve preferred to hear this privately first - and I apologize for the public nature of my disclosure, but I don’t know how to have this conversation multiple times. 1/17

What’s coming was avoidable, but Republicans in Congress let Trump start a war, increase spending, arm a genocide, betray MAHA, and cover up for Epstein’s coconspirators. I was ousted with over $30 million of foreign lobby money for refusing to go along, and here we are.

Can we stop talking about "former" intelligence agents and the podcast drama between them and maybe focus on real issues that matter?
How about "independent" media covers the many disturbing developments courtesy of the government (and the broader global governance structure) is currently doing, which in many areas is drastically under-reported, and try and hold actual power to account instead of reality TV-style mudslinging. Isn't it supposed to be different than mainstream media?
In the event these people don't still work for intelligence, they are doing their work of divide and conquer and distract for them. I for one am tired of having this dramaslop algorithmically thrown at me.

Sometimes one of the hardest lessons to learn in life is that not every misunderstanding needs to be corrected, and you don’t need to defend yourself against every accusation. Sometimes people have already decided who you are, what your intentions were, and what role you played in their story. You can spend forever trying to explain yourself, carefully choosing your words, hoping that if you can just make them understand, something will change. But understanding requires a willingness to listen, and you can’t give that willingness to someone who doesn’t have it. At a certain point, continuing to defend yourself becomes little more than volunteering to participate in your own suffering.
There comes a time when you have to decide what matters more: being understood by someone who has no interest in understanding you, or having peace in your own life. Sometimes the wisest thing you can do is allow someone to believe whatever they need to believe about you, even when you know they’re wrong. This doesn’t mean you agree with them, or that their version of events becomes the truth. It just means you’ve stopped making your peace dependent on their opinion. You don’t have to win every argument, or correct every false impression. Sometimes the greatest act of self-respect is to say nothing, turn around, and continue walking your own path.

The Covid “vaccines” delivered in the West were a monumental crime against humanity. The fact that these shots are still being given makes it clear that the harms were entirely acceptable to the architects, if not somehow part of the plan.

Hey @Grok
Did Kanye West (Ye) claim in 2022 that Jared Kushner and his brother Josh were effectively acting as Trump’s handlers and holding him back?
He also claimed that the Abraham Accords were primarily about making money, correct?
He said he reached these conclusions after a dinner with Jared Kushner, Josh Kushner, and Ivanka Trump.
In several respects, Kanye appears to have arrived at a conclusion similar to one reached by Dutch intelligence.

Where did this man go?
Donald Trump clearly hasn't learned from his Covid era mistakes. He fails to recognize how ineffective his warp speed vaccine is as the ninth shot is being recommended to seniors. Even more troubling is the documented harm being caused by the shot to so many innocent children and adults who are suffering myocarditis, pericarditis and brain inflammation.
This has been confirmed by a CDC funded study of 99 million people. Instead of bragging about its speedy approval, we should be honestly and transparently debating the abundant evidence that this vaccine may have caused more harm than good. In fact, I look forward to debating both Trump and Biden on September 16th in San Marcos, TX.

Aaron Siri just revealed the real reason why New York launched a massive legal attack on unvaccinated Amish communities.
“These kids are healthy.”
“They don’t suffer from any of the chronic diseases that plague American children.”
“If this was about health, New York State should be looking at these kids as models and asking, why are they healthier?”
“Why do these… Amish children not suffer from the chronic health conditions that are plaguing over 40% [of children] according to the CDC?”
“Some data reflects even higher.”
“This is up from under 10% of kids having a chronic health condition in America in the early ’80s.”
“What’s changed?”
“Maybe they should take a look at this community instead of trying to force upon them the same type of lifestyle that… has resulted in that increase.”

Myocarditis has a 19-39% all cause mortality in 5-10 years.
We are approaching the 5 year mark.
Expect it to accelerate.
And it won’t just be heart attacks.
Clots, Achilles, strokes will emerge from other tissue scarring
From chat-
The 5–10-year all-cause mortality following myocarditis ranges from approximately 19% to 40% in published cohorts of biopsy-confirmed viral myocarditis. However, mortality is substantially lower in younger patients with uncomplicated myocarditis and preserved cardiac function.
Several longitudinal studies provide useful estimates.

Particularly important: Sudden cardiac death
The biopsy-confirmed cohorts reported substantial sudden cardiac death (SCD):
9.9% over approximately 5 years.
10.9% over approximately 10 years.
These are cumulative rates in selected populations, not annual risks or estimates applicable to every myocarditis diagnosis.
What predicts mortality?
Cardiac MRI findings are especially informative.
In the 2020 ten-year study, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), indicating myocardial injury or fibrosis, was associated with:
2.4-fold greater all-cause mortality hazard.
3.0-fold greater cardiac mortality hazard.
14.8-fold greater sudden cardiac death hazard.
Septal myocardial scarring was particularly concerning.
An important distinction
A 2025 Danish population study reported 26.7% all-cause mortality at 10 years among myocarditis patients versus 13.7% in matched controls.
That is approximately a doubling of cumulative mortality, although the excess risk was concentrated early after diagnosis, and the adjusted mortality hazard after six months was not elevated in the same way.
What about vaccine-associated myocarditis?
The historical studies above largely involve myocarditis diagnosed before COVID-19 vaccination.
They should not be used to estimate 5–10-year mortality following mRNA vaccine-associated myocarditis. Those cases are generally younger and often clinically less severe, and sufficiently long follow-up is not yet available.
The key unresolved question is whether persistent myocardial LGE after vaccine-associated myocarditis carries the same long-term prognostic implications as LGE following conventional viral myocarditis.
Are you interested specifically in vaccine-associated myocarditis, or myocarditis from all causes? The distinction is critical when interpreting these mortality figures.
