„This is your typical type of individual who’s part of this you know the multiracial liberal aristocracy right now that they’re disconnected from what’s actually going on the ground they live in an abstract world of their own reality they’ve never had to deal with real people.“
„and so they fight among each other and they don’t
really realize that who the real enemy is and the real enemy is those people who think that a few set of people
know better than all of us, that the state can mandate its will on people and that’s the real enemy and if there is a
division that’s a good and necessary division…we made a
hundred decisions for ourselves without the state being involved and these folks believe that the state needs to be
involved in every aspect of your life.. from your medical care…to every aspect of existence.“
„Dr. Shiva honored as the inventor of email and then you see the vitriol emerge, because it was like a new skull was found in Africa Gary, okay, and the vitriol did not come from you know white people, it came from the liberal academic elite who could not fathom that email could be invented outside the bastions of their elite institutions, look it was okay to
be a Zuckerberg or a or a Bill Gates because you were a
dropout out of Harvard right but this was done before all of that in Newark New Jersey where every day working people are and you saw all this vitriol people saying this curry stain Indian should be beaten and hanged…you know these liberal academics thousands of calls came in to MIT…I wasn’t
charging anything by the way.. I’ve been on the front page of MIT for inventing many other things..in many ways I was being a good Indian you see in there supporting their narrative
of diversity and inclusivity you say but when you start providing the truth that things like email great inventions can occur before MIT that perturbs a long-held narrative that great innovations must come out of war, must come out of the military-industrial-academic-complex, so that the invention
of email is really not about me but it’s about truly what the American Dream..they attacked my Wikipedia site you know
hired people because Raytheon a multi-billion dollar defense company had built the narrative that one of their guys who look like a nerd was the inventor of email and it was supporting their large enterprise right, so when the stuff one in the Smithsonian they were the ones who unleash this out there was monetary motivation so we anyway we sued Gawker Media and for 35 million it was right after Hulk Hogan had won a case my case sort of was a nail in their coffin they
declared bankruptcy.“
„So when you look at this the tweet is really addressing three things you have people using fear to manipulate economies suppress dissent which is what the you
know the hierarchical system the upper caste used to do shut up you know fall in line shut the hell up right and push
mandated medicine because look the medical system we’re moving towards is a top-down system totally controlled by
Big Pharma big AG and big vaccine manufacturers and and that’s what I was putting up, so it’s a very potent tweet,
because if you look at the sustainable development goals that were put into you know signed off by the United Nations
and all their countries in 2015 is called SDG you know 2015’s dg3 which was signed in 2015 sustainable development
goals what it says is they paint a utopia Gary and you can read it people should go check it out you know no income inequality support you know that there’s no in fact no sexuality anymore you should go read it is quite
extraordinary it says utopia of the elites okay and
subsequently in in an immunization 2030 document as a addendum to that they say the way we get to utopia these seventeengoals is we must immunize everyone on
the planet eg vaccinate everyone okay it’s quite
extraordinary..so we can eliminate the need
for animal testing and we can discover how medicines interacted for toxicity as well as for combination therapy this is exactly what my grandmother did Gary you know she would combine different herbs you know what I made there’s a video I did recently on Twitter I showed how you
make chicken curry right or lamb curry okay or if you make you know the history of humankind has been learning how to
use our environment make medicine from food…
the pharma industry is in peril right now they’re not making any money really any money from pharmaceutical drugs because lots and lots of investment in R&D and they’re
getting less and less new drugs allowed by the FDA because of their toxicity so what pharma companies have moved to is
vaccines the 1986 vaccine the vaccine court was created John Kennedy implemented the National vaccination Act in 1962 under a fake science or an outdated science of the understanding the immune system that led to many injuries that took place between 1962 to 1986 in a response to those injuries another kennedy Ted Kennedy led the creation of the National Vaccine injury program which led to the creation of the vaccine courts not in the judicial department but under Health and Human Services which basically allowed
indemnification of vaccine manufacturers who couldn´t sue them and the maximal liability for death was $250,000 okay
and so we’re in a situation now that for pharma companies vaccines are pure profit no liability no risk they can’t
get sued okay so that’s what I meant by mandated medicine because as someone who’s been involved in this field for
many years when I came in to looking at the one-size-fits-all vaccine program there were other activists in this field
and frankly many of them were controlled opposition
people like Bobby Kennedy was playing a good game saying he’s against vaccines meanwhile he endorses Hillary Clinton
who is vaccine Queen, okay, so the position I took was I said we need to really educate people on the immune system.“
„All of those different viruses go back to one common branch which actually goes back to Fort Detrick okay in the
United States in North Carolina and and there’s other you know again these are some positions that the US
military or deep states sent people over to Wuhan and that’s how it got given in China… it got created by the deep state and got put out there really to suppress dissent let me tell you what what was going on at this time Hong Kong was blowing up remember that ..and what people do not know is six months before the coronavirus there were massive anti-pollution protests by Chinese citizens in Wuhan in in the same
city where this came from and remember you don’t protest in China without risking your life, it’s not like they
have the First Amendment there.“
„because remember any protests creates uncertainty for globalism ight you see the Wuhan go away and then
you see now an argument is saying of course we should vaccinate everyone right against the anti-vaccine movement
so that’s why I put that out and when you’re a student of politics and a student of medicine, you start seeing
these connections and you also recognize that the academic elite in this country is basically practicing the oldest
profession: no one in the academic elite is saying
anything, fortunately I don’t know anything of the academia, I made my own money by myself, I have the training to.“

„by the way Denmark is considered by the UN.. for their sustainable development goals as one of the as a country that epitomizes next – Sweden..the hallmark of those goals and
on thursdays denmark said that we can they can forcibly go into people’s homes and vaccinate people with police
which means military, so look when you’re developing things these fast you don’t know the side effect of these things and
what we’re saying is you know we don’t care about the side effects we need to get this vaccine out so it’s creating
some very important precedents that americans need to be concerned about first …well they’re creating a condition
basically saying for medical fascism…the immune system the people who get harmed or it’s not the virus that harm
some this is something that’s fundamental which I’ve been trying to harp on…so we have an ignorant set of educated elites and they’re taking advantage of the American people because what they’re saying is there’s this boogeyman called the virus okay and you need the vaccine…Gates right Clinton Global Initiative etc big pharma and that’s basically what what this is because if you actually understood the immune
system it’s laughable the reality is the immune system
evolved over billions of years we grew up in bacteria and virus we’re supposed to play out in dirt that’s how the immune system gets turned on the people, so what happens is it’s people who have immuno compromised immune systems which
means their immune systems are not firing on all cylinders imagine you have three cylinders it’s only firing on two
you know what happens the third cylinder has to take all up all the effort right well that third cylinder in the immunology is called cytokines it fires so hard that it over reacts and it starts not only attacking the virus
surface but also starts attacking your own tissue differentially based on the proteins of that virus if I what I’m saying so it’s your own body attacks itself because of a weakened and dysfunctional immune system well how do
you get a weak in a dysfunctional immune system well eat crap all day eat sugar all day okay eat a diet that’s no longer
has any vitamin D and nutrients in some ways…this is sort of Darwinian right now the people for years who’ve been eating garbage the people for years who’ve been victimized by dirty air dirty water dirty food their immune systems are
compromised now look also as you age right your thyroid function goes down your HDL levels go down your vitamin A
levels will get suppressed right and you don’t get enough vitamin D and nor is your body able to really do proper
digestion right so what ends up happening in this entire process of weakened immune systems, we should have been calling if they really cared we should have been calling you know for real emergencies for the fact that we have twenty thirty percent obesity rate in this countries that
people’s immune systems are shot so instead of addressed so we feed people garbage garbage garbage garbage dirty air dirty water dirty food right across all establishment parties and then and when a virus hits isn’t it an amazing opportunity to really force the further narrative you need pharmaceuticals and vaccines when we don’t want to address the underlying issue which is immune health and that’s
why I wrote that present that letter to the president of United States this is really about immune health this is the fact that we don’t get enough vitamin D we don’t get enough
vitamin A we don’t get enough vitamin C man there’s other things but we can focus on those three things in Chad in
African country of Chad and dude Djibouti forget how to pronounce it there’s only been one CoV idk sand only
one no debts why is that well because people live probably lives that we should probably think about living
they’re out in the Sun they’re you know digging up roots we may consider these people third-world but we almost have to reconsider what the hell does it mean to be in a first war country we’re filled with toxins filled with these kinds of
mandates our kids are eating garbage when you eat high sugar diets your body produces Candida it knocks down your you
know certain Glee o-tama toxins which which essentially knock down your macrophages and your t-cells to import cylinders in your immune system so we’re doing is we’re basically destroying the immune health of our people so the solution is pretty simple at least get out of the Sun if you can’t do that you got a boost up on vitamin D..“
„Anthony Fauchi.. should be indicted.. I think this is
probably the most important fight that needs to be dealt with…he build his career on a false narrative that HIV causes AIDS. Do you remember Aids, the whole Aids scam.. he built is entire career on HIV causing AIDS…there is no causal relationship between this virus HIV which he considered a very harmless virus and AIDS he was vilified you know, all of his grants went away and the guide that promoted this I was Fauchis predecessor by the name of Gallo. Robert Gallo…e created a bogus HIV test and the result was Fauchi came to his rescue I think there was a power-play…remember the whole aids on all the stupid celebrities getting involved in this nonsense… he learned how to create bogus science to promote bogus signs to create the fear of HIV causes
AIDS billions of dollars were spent on this a lot of people died because people use drugs like AZT I had a very good
friend of mine who died from it and you know people didn’t learn HIV is frankly a harmless virus okay that people were
dying from it we’re again immunocompromised gays at that time you know we’re having 1500 partners we’re doing methamphetamines all sorts of drugs they were destroying their immune system you had IV drug users who are
destroying the immune system and you have people getting blood transfusions not because of the virus in the blood
but because it would get immunosuppressive drugs the simple point here from a scientific standpoint is when you lower and you destroy the immune system so Fauci doesn’t want to talk about that everything is about the boogeyman of viruses okay it is a the biggest fraud that’s taking place
Fauchi knows what he’s doing he’s been doing this, he is the face of Pharma and vaccines and he sees his opportunity
to become you know the hero in all of this.“

went and bought someone else’s Dos and flipped it, okay, but he’s a Harvard dropout and he was able to patent his
stuff so he gets to be a gazillionaire… so these
guys have built false histories of their eminence in the technology field they leveraged it to say they’re gonna be saviors and that Savior solution is not food is not you know exercise activities it’s about injections into the bloodstream of people and to control them that’s what they’re talking about and every America needs to wake up that
the lawyer lobbyists the people I’m running against I’m running against three lawyer lobbies I’m the only
scientist or an inventor guy works for a living these lawyer lobbyists are the people who implement the desires of the deep state that’s what’s going on so what we’re witnessing right before us should be a wake-up call to every person..
the issue of health goes beyond all those parties and what you will realize all of those establishment parties want to hurt you and want to control you and want to make you part
they want to make you a little atomic unit where you become a revenue generator for people like Fauchis Clan and these kind of people and they practice fake science and not know academic at MIT Harvard will say anything you know why because they owe their grant money to people like Fauchi, because it’s a cabal, if you say anything you’re out… the president he may have good gut instincts, but he’s not able to expose these people… the president is being bamboozled by this circle around him.“
„medical fascism …so people like Fauchi aren’t even practicing modern medicine, he’s practicing outdated fake science medicine.. Wow .. it’s criminal.“

crisis like this who do we want helping us, do look at who Trump surrounded with he is surrounded with vipers right now,
total vipers.“

„okay and this is very different if I come in contact with this novel coronavirus I will get sick now because
of my strong immunity it might be mild I might get over it faster but I will get sick okay that’s the truth.
Meditation is not gonna fix it, positive thinking is not gonna fix it, crystals are not gonna fix it. I’m
just gonna get sick but hopefully I’ll get it over faster so that’s number one there is no immunity to this everybody’s gonna get sick if you come in contact with it it might be mob know so number.“
„but the people it’s true the people who died is 80 years old more likely 80 years old and older and they were all
smokers a lot of them were smokers, because the smoking rate is much higher in China but prom is in the u.s. we have
a major um weakpoint, chink in the armor that’s gonna get us and that is obesity forty percent of American adults are
obese and we all know that the heavier you get the sicker you get so we have obese people with diabetes or prediabetes
sleep apnea they don’t know it their lung function is bad they have COPD they have trouble walking they can’t walk two
blocks you’re gonna get hit with this corona virus. I’m gonna promise you you’re gonna be on a respirator all right so our major risk factors are smoking and obesity all right so I would dismiss all of the old age old people statistics and memes that you guys see it is going to be a younger disease and than it is in China because of obesity and smoking y’all got that so if you’re 60 years old obese and a smoker you are
in trouble you have to really take this seriously if you have a parent who is obese and smoking or obese and just
having trouble or already on oxygen you need to tag them on this video and you share this video with them you got to
make them watch this because this is not hyperbole I’m giving you the straight shot so what we’re gonna see is that
then the age of this disease is gonna drop…“
„running out of ventilators so you’re gonna start seeing the deaths in June and July that’s really fucking depressing so you guys are arrogant right now it’s March you guys are just posting stupid memes you guys are are blowing us off you’re

COVID-19 might cause loss of smell. Here’s what that could mean.
Conspiracy Revelation: 30.3.2020: It happens also when you inhale your daily dose of Nano-Fungal-Tech from Chemtrails remember that or from the 1000s of other possible viruses and parasites..or as the result of an allergic inflammation to foreign substances…and even your cellphone/celltower/satellite radiation could contribute to it…but the main cause are surely U.S.U.K. Nazionistic-Bolshevistic-Eugenic-NWO-Toxins and advanced bioweapons and/or Vitamin D deficiency because of global dimming and the Technocrats and Pharma-Military-Chemtrails-Intrusion of the Holy Temple.
„COVID-19 might cause loss of smell. Here’s what that could mean.
By Nicoletta Lanese – Staff Writer 3 days ago
It’s theoretically possible that coronavirus could infect the region of the brain responsible for smell.

While brewing your morning coffee, you suddenly realize that you can’t smell the freshly ground beans — could you have COVID-19?
In the past week, doctors around the world began sharing reports of smell and taste loss in patients with confirmed cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Several groups of ear, nose and throat specialists have suggested that the symptoms could serve as an early sign of infection, signaling people to self-quarantine before they develop a telltale cough or fever.
But as of yet, neither smell nor taste loss have been systematically studied in large groups of patients with COVID-19. „We’re still in early days of understanding whether this association is real,“ said Steven Munger, director of the Center for Smell and Taste at the University of Florida (UF) and co-director of the UF Health Smell Disorders Program.
That said, until scientists know more, Munger said that „if you think you’ve lost your sense of smell or taste, you should self isolate.“ If further research reveals that the symptom is common and somehow linked to a person’s overall prognosis, the precautionary measure could help doctors identify, isolate and triage potential COVID-19 cases without patients making a risky trip to the hospital, he said.
But again, barring further research, we can’t say exactly how smell loss relates to COVID-19. „Many people out there already have olfactory loss, unrelated to the virus,“ said Dr. Thomas Hummel, a clinician and researcher at the Smell and Taste Clinic in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at the Technical University of Dresden Medical School in Germany. Hummel belongs to an international research group called the Global Consortium for Chemosensory Research, which aims to determine whether smell loss truly is a common COVID-19 symptom, and if so, what that could mean for patients.
„I think we need some data,“ Hummel told Live Science.
Coronavirus: Live updates
What are the symptoms?
How deadly is the new coronavirus?
How long does virus last on surfaces?
Is there a cure for COVID-19?
How does it compare with seasonal flu?
How does the coronavirus spread?
Can people spread the coronavirus after they recover?
Is the symptom common?
Complete smell loss, known as anosmia, and taste loss, called dysgeusia, are closely related ailments associated with a wide variety of conditions, from old age to head trauma to neurodegenerative disease, Munger said. Viral infection, including that caused by coronaviruses, is another common risk factor for both conditions, Hummel said.
Early data suggest that COVID-19 may also induce symptoms of anosmia and dysgeusia. For instance, a survey of 59 people in Italy found that 20 patients, or about 34%, reported at least one smell or taste disorder, and 11 people, or about 19%, presented with both. A similar survey of 100 patients at University Hospital in Bonn, Germany, found that about two-thirds of the patients noted smell or taste loss that lasted for several days. A survey of about 2,000 patients with a mild COVID-15 infection in South Korea, where diagnostic testing has been more widespread, reported that about 300 patients, or 15%, showed some degree of smell loss, according to Slate magazine.
Originally, the South Korean study reported that 30% of the surveyed patients had smell loss, and this initial figure was reported by The New York Times, among other outlets. The researchers revised the figure to 15% after including data from two additional days of patient screenings, Slate reported.
As more and more data pours in, the true proportion of patients with smell and taste loss should become clear, Hummel said. Scientists also need to determine when the symptoms emerge in most people, how severe they are through time, and if and when they dissipate, he said.

How the virus might affect smell
But why would patients show these symptoms in the first place? There are three potential explanations, Munger said.
In one scenario, SARS-CoV-2 could infect the inner lining of the nasal cavity, triggering localized inflammation. Inflammation in the nose can prevent incoming odors from reaching the cells that detect them, „basically just gumming up the works,“ Munger told Live Science. For example, chronic inflammation in the sinuses and nasal cavity — a condition known as chronic rhinosinusitis — is one of g the leading causes of smell loss, Hummel added.
Alternatively, the virus might specifically target cells in the nose that react to incoming odors. Receptors on these cells serve as docking stations for smelly chemicals, which once bonded to the receptor, jump-start a chemical and electrical reaction that passes information on to the brain. If the cells bearing smell receptors become infected and can’t generate signals, a person could temporarily lose their sense of smell. Thankfully, because these sensory cells are often damaged by chemicals and pathogens, the body replaces them every 30 to 60 days, Munger said.
Beyond infecting nerve tissue in the nasal cavity, the virus could theoretically „also penetrate the cribriform plate, the bone between the nose and the brain, and infiltrate the olfactory bulb,“ the brain region where cells in the nose send smell information to be processed, Hummel said. A 2008 study of the SARS-CoV virus, which caused an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome in 2002-2003, revealed that the coronavirus could penetrate the olfactory bulbs of transgenic mice.
From there, SARS-CoV went on to infect deeper structures in the mouse brains, causing extensive damage. Several review papers have suggested that SARS-CoV-2 may do the same in humans and potentially infect regions of the brain that support breathing and heart rate. If this proves to be the case, „some of the purely respiratory symptoms that you might attribute to the disease, the inability to get air into the lungs, might actually be defects in respiration controlled by the nervous system,“ Matthew Anderson, a neuropathologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, told The Scientist.
But again, these hypotheses have yet to be supported with hard data.
Scratch-and-sniff tests
Understanding the mechanism by which COVID-19 disrupts smell and taste could help doctors predict how patients with the symptoms might fare in the long run.
„I think it would be very interesting to know what it means for the prognosis of these patients,“ Hummel said. In addition to studying the symptoms of patients in the clinic, scientists could learn from autopsies of patients who have died from COVID-19, to assess tissue damage in the nose and brain, he said. „We can see what’s happening in the brains, to be better equipped for future infections.“
People could even assess their smell loss at home using well-established tests, Munger said.
In the U.S., the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) serves as the gold standard for smell assessment, Munger said. The test consists of 40 scratch-and-sniff cards that challenge patients to match particular smells to one of four provided options, like an odorous multiple-choice exam. The equivalent test in Europe, which was developed in part by Hummel, is called a Sniffin‘ Stick. Both exams could be sent to patients and taken at home, allowing doctors to triage potential cases from afar, Munger said.
More informally, people can test their sense of smell using the so-called jelly bean test, he added. When you chew a jelly bean, taste receptors on your tongue pick up the sweetness of sugar, or the sourness of citric acid. Chemicals from the jelly beans also travel to the back of your throat and up into your nasal cavity, where they interact with smell receptors. Your brain sticks these taste and smell sensations together to identify the „flavor“ of a food, so if you plug your nose and chew a jelly bean, its specific flavor disappears, leaving only sweetness or sourness.
„Then you open your nose and you get, wow, that’s lemon, or orange or lime … that may be one semi-objective way of assessing yourself,“ Munger said.
Of course, until scientists clarify the link between smell, taste and COVID-19, the utility of these tests remains speculative. In Hummel’s words, we still „we need some data.“

Abbott Launches 5-Minute Virus Test for Use Almost Anywhere
„Abbott Launches 5-Minute Virus Test for Use Almost Anywhere“
„Abbott virus detection machine Source: Abbott Laboratories“
„Abbott Laboratories is unveiling a coronavirus test that can tell if someone is infected in as little as five minutes, and is so small and portable it can be used in almost any health-care setting.
The medical-device maker plans to supply 50,000 tests a day starting April 1, said John Frels, vice president of research and development at Abbott Diagnostics. The molecular test looks for fragments of the coronavirus genome, which can quickly be detected when present at high levels. A thorough search to definitively rule out an infection can take up to 13 minutes, he said.
Abbott has received emergency use authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration “for use by authorized laboratories and patient care settings,” the company said on Friday.
The U.S. has struggled to supply enough tests to detect the virus, even as the outbreak threatens to overwhelm hospitals in New York, California, Washington and other regions. After initially restricting testing to high-risk people, and problems with a test designed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. regulators have rushed out diagnostics made by the world’s leading commercial-testing companies.“
„This is really going to provide a tremendous opportunity for front-line caregivers, those having to diagnose a lot of infections, to close the gap with our testing,” Frels said. “A clinic will be able to turn that result around quickly, while the patient is waiting.”
The technology builds on Illinois-based Abbott’s ID Now platform, the most common point-of-care test currently available in the U.S., with more than 18,000 units spread across the country. It is widely used to detect influenza, strep throat and respiratory syncytial virus, a common bug that causes cold-like symptoms.
The test starts with taking a swab from the nose or the back of the throat, then mixing it with a chemical solution that breaks open the virus and releases its RNA. The mixture is inserted into an ID Now system, a small box weighing just under 7 pounds that has the technology to identify and amplify select sequences of the coronavirus genome and ignore contamination from other viruses.“

Pastor Who Claimed Covid-19 ‘Hysteria’ Was Plot Against Trump Dies From Virus
Conspiracy Revelation: 29.3.2020: Objectivism and Gnosis (empiric knowingness) is always superior to subjective belief systems in this natural (descended) world with natural enemies: „Nature works according to eternal, necessary, divine laws in such a way that the deity itself could not change anything about it. (J.W. Goethe)[2344]“
„Pastor Who Claimed Covid-19 ‘Hysteria’ Was Plot Against Trump Dies From Virus“
„Religious Ignorance Kills: Landon Spradlin, a Virginia pastor who claimed the “mass hysteria” around the coronavirus pandemic was part of a media plot against Trump, has died from the virus.
The 66-year-old father and husband from Virginia died due to complications from COVID-19 on Wednesday morning in North Carolina.
While on the way home from a mission trip, Spradlin collapsed and was taken to a hospital in Concord, North Carolina. He was eventually put on a ventilator as his condition worsened.
According to reports, Spradlin, a 66-year-old Christian “musical evangelist,” fell ill while on a missionary trip to New Orleans with his wife.
…
On his Facebook page Spradlin shared a misleading meme attempting to minimize COVID-19, comparing the virus to the swine flu, and suggesting that the response to the coronavirus pandemic was media created “mass hysteria” to damage Trump: Spradlin also shared a post from a pastor claiming that a missionary in South Africa “protected” himself from the bubonic plague with the “Spirit of God.” A quote from the post reads:
As long as I walk in the light of that law [of the Spirit of life], no germ will attach itself to me.
The stupid, it kills.
The following is a sample of the reactions to Spradlin’s death via Twitter:

On March 13, Pastor Landon Spradlin shared this post suggesting #COVID19 is a hoax. On March 24th he died of that hoax.
You can thank Trump and @FoxNews for perpetuating that narrative.

@duty2warn
Landon Spradlin was a 66-year-old Christian “musical evangelist” who had previously shared opinions that the pandemic was simply “mass hysteria” from the media. He fell ill while on a trip to New Orleans. He has become one of the first deaths in Virginia from coronavirus.

Landon Spradlin was a pastor. On FB, he shared a meme dismissing the media’s reaction to COVID-19 as mass hysteria.
He also shared a post that discussed protecting oneself from the plague with „the spirit of God“
Landon Spradlin died at 4am Wednesday morning.
