REVEALED: Anthony Fauci-run lab in MONTANA experimented with coronavirus strain shipped in from Wuhan a year BEFORE Covid pandemic began
US taxpayer money was used to experiment with coronaviruses from the Chinese lab thought to be the source of the Covid pandemic more than a year before the global outbreak, an investigation has found.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), under Dr Anthony Fauci‘s leadership, infected 12 Egyptian fruit bats with a ‘SARS-like’ virus called WIV1 at a lab in Montana in 2018.
The WIV1-coronavirus was shipped from the Wuhan lab the FBI believes caused the Covid pandemic and was tested on bats acquired from a ‘roadside’ Maryland zoo.
The research – revealed this week by a campaign group – determined the novel virus could not cause a ‘robust infection’.
But the research is more evidence of ties between the US government and the Wuhan lab, as well as the funding of dangerous virus research across the globe.
The Israel-Hamas War — Ron Unz | Restoring Order – EP 277
UPDATE: Ron says he does not believe the Hamas raid of 10/7 was a MIHOP event. At most, he allows it might have been planned as a small LIHOP raid that became much worse than intended. He cites reasons for his beliefs but does not address the overall strategy of the Western cabal, which includes Israel, to achieve world domination. That strategy is manifest in the Ukraine War, abetted illegal immigration into Western countries, deliberately inflationary policies, the plandemic, and more. Ron also misconstrues signs of Israeli preplanning for the 10/7 raid as signs they were incompetent rather than premeditating. Incompetence is the always used excuse for cabal misdeeds. It keeps critics at bay for years until no one cares anymore.
Another point worth making is Ron, as many others have, claims WW1 began in a haze of incompetence and in that resembles the Middle East today. Propagandized history says no one wanted WW1 but it happened anyway, was ‘inevitable’. This is not true. WW1 happened because a British cabal wanted the war and spent over a decade bringing it about. In that sense, yes, it does resemble today’s inflammatory Middle East which will likely ‘inevitably’ start WW3, which supposedly ‘nobody wants’. WW2 also started with ‘incompetence’ in Pearl Harbor. Likewise, the ‘incompetence’ of misidentifying nonexistent WMD in Iraq. The list goes on. All wars are bankers wars, elite wars. ABN
The Legend Of The Lady In Blue
A 17th-century Spanish nun is said to have appeared to members of the Jumano tribe, who lived in present-day Texas. The Lady in Blue was said to have the power of bilocation.
One of the most important figures in Texas’ religious history never set foot in Texas at all. She never in her life traveled beyond her tiny village in Spain, yet she stirred religious fervor from the Concho River to the headwaters of the Rio Grande.
Our story begins in 1602 when Maria was born in the pueblito de Ágreda. She was a lovely child born to Catholic parents of noble rank. Barely beyond her toddler years, Maria showed an unusual devotion to a life of prayer and piety.
When she was ten, she already wanted to join a convent. When she was 12, her parents finally blessed her wish to join the Discalced Carmelite Nuns of Tarazona. Before that could be arranged, though, Maria’s mother had a vision in which God instructed her to convert their mansion into a convent. She and her daughter would both become nuns. Her father would join a local monastery, following in the footsteps of his sons who were already friars. In four years, this all came to pass.
At 18, Maria took her vows and became Maria de Jesus – Mary of Jesus de Ágreda. The habit of her order was a dark cobalt blue. Now a nun, she spent more time than ever alone in prayer. Maria’s religious devotions intensified. Her sisters worried about her frequent fasting, frail health, and life of extreme deprivation. Yet for her it was a glorious time: she said God had given her a divine gift. It was the gift of bilocation. She could be in two places at once. Through meditation she could appear to God’s children in faraway lands and teach them about Jesus. She said she first appeared to the Jumano tribes of present day Texas in the 1620s. She did this for about ten years, from the time she was 18, to 29. And according to legend, the Jumano Indians of the time confirmed that the Woman in Blue, as they called her, had come among them.
The first proof is offered in the story of 50 Jumano Indians appearing on their own at the San Antonio de la Isleta Mission near present-day Albuquerque, asking the Franciscan priests to teach them about Jesus. When asked how they knew of him, the men said that the Lady in Blue had come to them and taught them the gospel. She had instructed them to go west to find holy men who could teach them more about the faith and baptize them. They, as the legend goes, pointed to a painting of a nun in the mission and said, “She is like her, but younger.”
I have complained about the faults of the Abrahamic religions as they are manifesting in the Middle East today, but many aspects of all of them are worthy and this story of Mary of Jesus de Ágreda is a good example. Buddhism has many stories like this as well. This shows, to my eye, that there is a ‘ground’ for all or most religions that is more fundamental than their doctrinaire teachings, than unquestioning loyalty to clergy or rigid credos. I am a Buddhist because it has a rich and very practical philosophy which also wisely and explicitly teaches that even the Dharma must not be clung to. Even the Dharma can prevent enlightenment if our attachment to it is unwholesome. Long before I became a Buddhist, I had profound spiritual experiences that did not in my mind fit into any tradition I knew. This made me realize, even when I was very young, that religious traditions do not and cannot describe or include everything. They are like cliff notes on the spiritual reality of living in the human realm. Some of those notes are beautiful and worthy, some are not so good. This story of Mary of Jesus de Ágreda is one of the beautiful and inspiring ones. ABN
Trump’s Royal Bloodline: The Unique Paternal and Maternal Lineage of Donald Trump
Trump’s Maternal Lineage
Donald Trump’s mother, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, was part of Clan MacLeod of Scotland. The founder of Clan MacLeod was Leod (1200 – 1280 AD). What’s interesting about this clan is that they hold relics from the Crusades at Dunvegan Castle, the seat of the MacLeod Clan. These relics include the:
The MacLeod clan claims they have fairy blood. Legend says the flag was given to the MacLeod clan by a fairy woman who had married a MacLeod chief. She was married to him for twenty years and was forced to leave him.nThe fairy woman said goodbye to the chief on the fairy bridge and gave him the flag. She told him to wave the flag whenever they were in dire need of help and it would be granted three times.
The Fairy Flag story begins with Harald Sigurdsson, the King of Norway who ruled from 1046 AD to 1066 AD. Prior to becoming the King of Norway, Harald had served as captain of the Varangian Guards in the court of the Byzantine Emperor at Constantinople. One of the treasures he brought back to Norway was the Fairy Flag, which was then known as Landoda, or ‘Land Ravager’. The king believed that the flag made him invincible in battle, and when Harald embarked on his campaign to conquer England, he took the flag along with him.
Elon Musk says he will pay Wikipedia $1 BILLION to change its name to ‘D***pedia’ – after accusing website of ‘losing its objectivity’ to the ‘biases of higher ranking editors’
Elon Musk has offered $1billion to the owners of Wikipedia if they change its name to ‘D***ipedia’.
The billionaire – who has accused the website of showing its ‘non-trivial left-wing bias’ in the past – was responding to Wikipedia’s donation appeal for the year.
‘I will give them a billion dollars if they change their name to D–kipedia,’ Musk posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday.
He then jokingly asked to add that to his Wikipedia page, which he said includes the cow and poop emojis after he criticized the Wikipedia Foundation.
‘Have you ever wondered why the Wikimedia Foundation wants so much money? It certainly isn’t needed to operate Wikipedia,’ he said. ‘You can literally fit a copy of the entire text on your phone!
Mind-control works because everything is or can be made to be ambiguous. And thus everything can be subverted, altered, even completely made up if there is a concerted effort at the top and money to fuel the lie. This is why even academia is filled with so much garbage, you need a super-duper-degree to separate out the lies. The key problem in our world today is mind-control and the vulgar responses it always elicits. The entire Ukraine War and now the looming war(s) in and around Israel are based on lies and the vulgar reasoning and emotionality that follows from them. This situation is sooo Buddhist delusion writ large. Our world today from almost all angles proves the First Noble Truth of Buddhism so well, it’s time the Abrahamic religions concede the superiority of the Buddhist analysis. The principal flaws of the Abrahamic religions are unreasonably strict adherence to scripture and the absurd belief that clergy is capable of knowing God’s will through their human interpretations of those scriptures. The Abrahamic religions are also far too resistant to change, largely due to the scriptural thing. For the most part Buddhists do not say stuff like this out loud, but as we hurtle toward yet another Abrahamic war, I am making an exception. Another Buddhist criticism of the Abrahamic religions is they weaken our spirits and reason by subordinating solid human thinking to myths from thousands of years ago. ABN
Israel’s Biblical Psychopathy — Laurent Guyénot
…Yahweh, “the god of Israel,” is an angry and lonely volcano god who manifests toward all other gods an implacable hatred, and ends up considering them as non-gods, him being, in fact, the only true god. This very clearly characterizes him as a psychopath among gods. By contrast, for the Egyptians, according to German Egyptologist Jan Assmann, “the gods are social beings,” and harmony between them guarantees harmony in the cosmos.[8] There was, moreover, a degree of translatability between the pantheons of various civilizations. But Yahweh taught the Hebrews contempt for the deities of their neighbors—making them, in the eyes of these neighbors, a threat to the cosmic and social order. Yahweh is essentially, says Assmann, a theoclastic god: “You must completely destroy all the places where the nations you dispossess have served their gods, on high mountains, on hills, under any spreading tree; you must tear down their altars, smash their sacred stones, burn their sacred poles, hack to bits the statues of their gods and obliterate their name from that place” (Deuteronomy 12:2-3).
Yahweh may be a character of fiction, but his hold on the Jewish mind is nevertheless real. “To appeal to a crazy, violent father, and for three thousand years, that is what it is to be a crazy Jew!”[9] said Smilesburger in Philip Roth’s Operation Shylock. Jews have been taught by Yahweh to keep strictly separate from other people. Food prohibitions serve to prevent all socialization outside the tribe: “I shall set you apart from all these peoples, for you to be mine” (Leviticus 20:26).
The nature of the covenant is not moral. The sole criterion for approval by Yahweh is obedience to his arbitrary laws and commands. To slaughter treacherously hundreds of prophets of Baal is good, because it is the will of Yahweh (1Kings 18). To show mercy to the king of the Amalekites is bad, because when Yahweh says, “kill everyone,” he means “everyone” (1Samuel 15). In the biblical historiography, the fate of the Jewish people depends on them following Yahweh’s orders, no matter how insane. As well said by Kevin MacDonald:
The idea that Jewish suffering results from Jews straying from their own law occurs almost like a constant drumbeat throughout the Tanakh—a constant reminder that the persecution of Jews is not the result of their own behavior vis-à-vis Gentiles but rather the result of their behavior vis-à-vis God.[10]
If the Jews follow Yahweh’s command of alienating themselves from the rest of humankind, in return, Yahweh promises to make them rule over humankind: “follow his ways, keep his statutes, his commandments, his customs, and listen to his voice,” and Yahweh “will raise you higher than every other nation he has made”; “You will make many nations your subjects, yet you will be subject to none” (Deuteronomy 26:17-19 and 28:12). This sounds very much, actually, like the pact Satan proposed to Jesus: “the devil showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. And he said to him, ‘I will give you all these, if you fall at my feet and do me homage.’” (Matthew 4:8-9).
If Israel follows scrupulously the Law, Yahweh promises to submit all nations to the domination of Israel, and destroy those that resist. “Kings will fall prostrate before you, faces to the ground, and lick the dust at your feet,” whereas “the nation and kingdom that will not serve you will perish” (Isaiah 49:23 and 60:12). Nations must either recognize Israel’s sovereignty, or be destroyed. Yahweh told Israel that he has identified “seven nations greater and stronger than yourself,” that “you must put under the curse of destruction,” and not “show them any pity.” As for their kings, “you will blot out their names under heaven” (Deuteronomy 7:1-2, 24).

SHOCK MOMENT: Trump Says ‘Bibi Netanyahu Let Us Down’ In Soleimani Strike But ‘Tried To Take Credit’
Footprints show humans in America earlier than previously believed
A new analysis of tiny specks of pollen from long-dead conifer trees, seeds and sets of ancient footprints in New Mexico have revealed that humans arrived in North America much earlier than scientists previously thought.
If the findings hold, then they are the oldest footprints ever discovered in the U.S.
Because the footprints themselves can’t be carbon dated, the researchers behind the new study looked at seeds from aquatic plants found in the same layer of sediment — essentially a proxy dating tool. Carbon dating reveals that the seeds fell between 21,000 and 23,000 years ago — thousands of years earlier than previous estimates had supposed.
Is this Alexander the Great’s escort? Tomb of a courtesan who may have accompanied the Macedonian king is discovered after 2,300 years
The tomb of a courtesan who seduced the elite ‘during Alexander the Great’s campaigns’ has been discovered after 2,300 years.
Found south of Jerusalem, Israel, it contained the cremated remains of a young woman, and a rare box mirror that looks ‘as if it was made yesterday’.
Experts say she was a hetaira – a high-class escort from ancient Greece, who offered elite clients not only sex, but also companionship and intellectual stimulation.
And she may have plied her trade accompanying the armies of Alexander the Great, or those who warred for his vast empire after the conqueror’s demise.
The discovery, which is detailed in a new study, is thought to be the first hetairai tomb ever found.
A Skeptic’s Guide to the Holocaust
There is hardly any other historical topic, about which as much information and disinformation can be found as about the Holocaust. The topic is huge, as it occurred in thousands of individual events across an entire continent, and lasted almost four years – from mid-1941 to May 1945. Accordingly, scholars specializing in the field have produced large tomes and many multi-volume collections dealing with the various aspects of this event of the past that refuses to pass.
However, for those of us not specializing in Holocaust studies – meaning for almost all of us – the information contained in those volumes and collections is usually too much information. Furthermore, it is commonly presented in a way that is not helpful for us to wrap our heads around it. Where is a concise overview explaining what exactly “the Holocaust” was, and what it was not? What major parts does it consists of? What are the main characteristics of these parts?
To answer such questions, encyclopedias are written. So far, mainstream scholars have produced four encyclopedias on this topic. In September 2023, another one has been added. We may ask: who needs a fifth door stop, when we already have four?
Those who understand covid-19 anti-science are in a position to understand how just about everything in the West works. This includes academia, mainstream media, the public face of governments, and the history of our society and all other societies. I have no expertise in the history of WW2 but welcome this encyclopedia as another offering on the road to telling something approaching the truth about whatever happened in the past. It’s an absolute offense to any civilization that any topic be banned or people who write about it or speak about it be imprisoned or fined. It’s very easy to see that happening to us today in the USA and in Europe. If even medical science can be twisted as much as covid anti-science has, we can see that nothing is sacred and nothing can be believed just because some authority figure—or even a large group of them—say it’s true. That’s how it is. From covid we also have learned that the real scientists were the ones who questioned the official bs. And what happened to them? They were banned, vilified, deplatformed, fired. We all know this, but the lesson is so valuable it bears emphasizing. Covid provides us with a very recent lived and ongoing example of mainstream government and media mind-control and harassment. The covid example applies to many other areas of immediate concern—the Ukraine War, our borders, anthropogenic climate change, our economy. all news and all history. ABN
White ‘supremacy’ — Texas 1939
Harlingen, Texas., Russell Lee photographer
Everyone in the world has a background like this at some time in the past, and for most of us that is the recent past or present. There is no shame in surviving on the basics and often much joy. The attitude that all poverty is horrible and must be deplored or corrected is not a healthy attitude from a Buddhist point of view. Buddhism counsels that we have compassion for those who are sick, hurt or disabled and that we help them if practicable. But poverty alone is not a reason to help an able-bodied person aside from hiring or training if good will come of it. The systemic racism stuff is all bullshit. Most whites were serfs, servants or deplored underlings until very recent times. An exception to not helping the poor is if you did something to make them poor like causing brain damage or fraud. ABN
Donald Trump Is Suing Christopher Steele
News breaking from The Daily Mail reflects that President Donald Trump has filed a civil action against Orbis Business Intelligence and its founder, Christopher Steele. You will likely remember that Chris Steele wrote the infamous “Steele Dossier” that became the underpinning of the Carter Page FISA application, replacing the legally required Woods file.
Interestingly, Trump appears to be using the British court system, and laws around libel actions that are much more beneficial to the plaintiff in the U.K. There is an initial 2-day court hearing scheduled for October 16th.
(Via Daily Mail) Donald Trump is suing a former MI6 officer and the intelligence consultancy he founded, High Court records show.
The former US president is bringing a data protection claim against Orbis Business Intelligence and its founder Christopher Steele, who previously ran the Secret Intelligence Service’s Russia desk.
According to a court order published on Thursday, a two-day hearing in Mr Trump’s legal action is set to start on October 16, which is thought to be the first hearing in the claim. (more)
The layers of possibility within this lawsuit are actually much more remarkable than first review might consider.
Remember, as discovered during the Durham probe, GCHQ refused to assist the CIA and FBI in their construct of the fabricated theory about Trump-Russia. Additionally, Steele has attempted to distance himself from the ‘dossier’ he created, implying his role was simply to affirm or verify information fed to him from Fusion GPS via Glenn Simpson and Nellie Ohr.
Plausibly, Steele could claim he simply provided information, material that was false, to Fusion GPS, not knowing what would come of it. However, in order to take that position, he would need to swear and attest to that set of facts. That opens questions about conversations between Steele and Glenn Simpson/Nellie Ohr about his material representations – as well as conversations between Steele and the DOJ/FBI about the same. Names and specifics would have to be outlined in order to escape the libel.
Deposing Chris Steele would be a goldmine of information about how the construct of the narrative was put together. Who was involved from within the U.S. government and Fusion GPS would be the obvious aspect. Steele was represented by Adam Waldman, who was also used as an intermediary between Steele and other investigative authorities in the USA. Waldman and former SSCI Vice Chair staffer, Dan Jones, were working together. Piercing those conversations is yet another layer to peel.
In short, in order for Chris Steele to use the defense against libel, he would have to outline who he was delivering information to, and what was the purpose of the delivery. Steele would also need to walk through each of the points made in his email construction and show origination, supportive material, efforts taken to prove or disprove and subsequent findings. [Think of the Michael Cohen in Prague false claim as only one small example]
There’s a reason why Andrew Weissmann and Robert Mueller never went near Chris Steele during their construct of the Mueller report. They well understood that Lawfare required plausible deniability. This, despite the fact that on June 29, 2017, Mueller and Weissmann used the dossier for the final FISA renewal – a point missed by all except for the deepest weed walkers.
POINT missed by EVERYONE: How could Mueller/Weissmann use the Steele dossier for a FISA renewal, and then say Chris Steele was, “outside their purview“?
I think there would be a lot of pro-bono research aides who would love to work on this lawsuit. Just sayin’…
