Israel surgical strikes

Intelligent people know  that Israel surgical strikes don’t mean that the missile will kill only “the target,” but it means that the strike is calculated to the last millimeter with perfectly “locked” coordinates.


It doesn’t matter if the target is in a 15-story building with hundreds of innocent civilians, or one flat with the “target” and his family.

“The massive bombing of densely populated areas by our best men, serving in the most moral army in the world, has become routine, at least in the Gaza Strip.”

The Natural Rivers are a picture of the past.


The scarcity of water is well-known fact and documented.
The rivers that used to flow still 10 or 20 years ago are part of a picture past.

Most of the giants Dams constructed to commercialize this vital liquid have made the rivers disappear.

Every year, fewer and fewer rivers, streams, and broadways are filled with rain water: Dams, pools, artificial lakes, bottled water, super agriculture, and golf courses are the cause of the droughts around the world.

Pessimist? No, I’m just realistic.
The good news is that there is a Global Council Water Club that gets paid to bring water to all the citizens of the world because water it is a human right. The bad news and that almost no one in the world knows that they exist, and people, animals, and lands are dying for the lack of water.

American Indian nations have had their lands, water rights, fishing rights, and sacred sites taken from them. The case of Boulder Dam (later renamed Hoover Dam) on the Colorado River is different in that it did not directly impact the Navajo Reservation, but it indirectly led to the destruction of the traditional Navajo economy, and the creation of poverty and economic inequality among the Navajo.

The Global Water Council

Names of projects and links to UN were updated on August 10, 2023.


There is also the UN-Water Project. They both exist as separate entities. The UN Water Project changed its name to UN-Water since I published this research paper back in 2012.

They generate a report every 3 years. Just to illustrate the banality of these UN projects. Palestine has been suffering from a lack of water. Israel is holding Palestine hostage on water supplies.

Israel controls the aquifers, and Palestine by law can’t dig for new wells. According to certain accords signed decades ago at the White House. “Palestinians can not dig for fresh water,” and to aggravate their problems, illegal settlers are dumping cement inside Palestine wells.


While the world’s population tripled in the 20th century, the use of renewable water resources has grown six-fold.
Within the next fifty years, the world population will increase by another 40 to 50 %. This population growth – coupled with industrialization and urbanization – will result in an increasing demand for water and will have serious consequences on the environment.
People lack drinking water and sanitation.
Already there is more wasted water generated and dispersed today than at any other time in the history of our planet: more than one out of six people lack access to safe drinking water, namely 1.1 billion people, and more than two out of six lack adequate sanitation, namely 2.6 billion people (Estimation for 2002, by the WHO/UNICEF JMP, 2004). 3900 children die every day from water-borne diseases (WHO 2004). One must know that these figures represent only people with very poor conditions. In reality, these figures should be much higher.
Water resources are becoming scarce
Find your country, and see how many rivers are left to run wild and how many dams were constructed in the last 100 years.
But conservation groups say that the plans for many large dams are based on historical river flow data that are irrelevant in today’s rapidly changing and unpredictable climate.
“Large dams have always been based on the assumption that future stream-flow patterns will mirror those of the past, but this is no longer true,” Rudo Sanyanga, International Rivers’ African program director, said in a statement. National Geographic
Facts and Figures
Sources of Fresh Water
Groundwater – water that infiltrates into the ground through porous materials deeper into the earth. It fills pores and fractures in layers of underground rock called aquifers. Some of this water lies too far under the earth’s surface to be extracted at an affordable cost.
Surface-water runoff – precipitation that does not infiltrate into the ground or return to the atmosphere: streams, rivers, lakes, wetlands, and reservoirs.
Snow that is 4 inches (10cm) deep contains about the same amount of water as 1/3 inch (1 cm) of rain.
1.1 billion people live without clean drinking water
2.6 billion people lack adequate sanitation (2002, UNICEF/WHO JMP 2004)
1.8 million people die every year from diarrhoeal diseases.
3 900 children die every day from water-borne diseases (WHO 2004)
Daily per capita use of water in residential areas:
– 350 liters in North America and Japan
– 200 liters in Europe
– 10-20 liters in sub-Saharan Africa
Over 260 river basins are shared by two or more countries, mostly without adequate legal or institutional arrangements.
A leak that fills up a coffee cup in 10 minutes will waste over 3,000 gallons of water in a year. That’s 65 glasses of water every day for a year.
A leaky toilet can waste over 22,000 gallons of water in one year; enough to take three baths every day.

How much fresh water is used in franking?
Water used for hydraulic fracturing is typically fresh water taken from
groundwater and surface water resources. Although there are increasing efforts to use nonpotable water, some of these sources also supply drinking water.
Fracking consumes a massive amount of water. In the United States, the average can run between 1.5 million and 9.7 million gallons of water to frack a single well.

A Personal Journey- Photography expression by Jennifer George


by Marivel Guzman

Exposing Scars

Domestic Violence- Trapped in a bubble of indecision, fear and love.

Domestic Violence- Trapped in a bubble of indecision, fear and love.

Last April I found myself inside Orange Coast College Gallery admiring a photography exposition “A Personal Journey-Exposing scars” by Jennifer George a student at Orange Coast College. Admiring is not the right word to say it, because it is hard to watch the horror that every photography denounces; Every photography carries a story of domestic violence whether is physical, verbal or emotional; the scars are deep and painful.

Being there, I meet a lady in her 70s that said, she felt related to the exposition as she was a victim of domestic violence as well.

You can not help but to feel sad and even have teary eyes when you read every story attached to the image of violence.

Some of the women portrayed in the exposition were killed by their husbands or boyfriends, others have escaped the ordeal.

“In the exhibit student photographer Jennifer George strongly exposes the world to domestic violence, giving abused women a voice with her unique style of photography and bold statements through her own experiences.“said Brando Lien, staff writer for CoastReport.com

Pakistan strategic geopolitical country


Pakistan is fortunate to be located in South Asia, covering 340,509 square miles. It boasts a 1,046-kilometer (650-mile) coastline along the Arabian and Gulf of Oman in the south, with India to the east, Afghanistan to the west, Iran to the southwest, and China to the northeast. It is separated from Tajikistan by Afghanistan’s narrow Wakhan Corridor in the north and shares a maritime border with Oman.

Strategically positioned, Pakistan holds the potential to emerge as a prominent regional or global player, provided it fosters determined, visionary, and honest leadership. Currently, the nation grapples with the repercussions of inept and visionless governance, transforming into a challenging situation. However, with a shift towards reduced dependence on the US and increased self-reliance, combined with collaborative efforts among regional countries like China, Iran, and Turkey, Pakistan can navigate this landscape.
The evolving geopolitical scenario witnesses the formation of new alliances and adversaries. The US has adopted a staunchly Zionist stance, forming alliances with NATO members to wage wars against Muslim countries. This alarming trend, in conjunction with India’s manipulation of the US on the pretext of countering China, demands strategic counteractions from Pakistan and other regional players.
According to Akram Zaki, “Pakistan falls in three regions, namely South Asia, Central Asia, and West Asia,” emphasizing the historical ties with these regions. Pakistan’s historical rapport with Iran, exemplified by their support during conflicts, calls for reinforced collaboration aimed at combatting common challenges and promoting economic development through initiatives such as free trade and infrastructure integration, including the expansion of the rail link to China via Gawadar.
Gawadar’s potential as a key oil and gas trading hub could be harnessed through the establishment of pipelines from Central Asia and Iran, necessitating collaboration with China to ensure the project’s success and fortify Pakistan’s defense capabilities. Bilateral and trilateral agreements between Pakistan, China, and Iran, encompassing defense, civil aviation, communications, trade, education, and science and technology, are vital for fostering endand fostering regional development.
Furthermore, integrating Central Asia through the Economic Cooperation Organisation (ECO) is crucial, considering the historical linkages and the region’s vast resources. To counter US efforts to control Central Asia, coordinated action by ECO, China, and Russia is imperative.
In a bid to counter Indian hegemony in the region, granting China a permanent membership in SAARC could prove instrumental. The inclusion of Afghanistan in SAARC underscores the significance of including neighboring states with shared interests. The TV talk show ‘Defense and Diplomacy’, hosted by S M Hali on Thursday, 21st July, featured a lively debate between Mr. Akram Zaki, a career diplomat, and Raja Mujtaba, a defense analyst, the highlights of which are attached below

Haniyeh: Gaza paid ‘dear price’ to free prisoners


Article from October 14, 2011

Haniyeh: Gaza paid ‘dear price’ to free prisoners
Published today (updated) 14/10/2011 15:50

Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh waves to people after Friday prayers in
Gaza City Oct. 14, 2011. (Reuters/Mohammed Salem)
GAZA CITY (Reuters) — Days ahead of a prisoner swap deal with Israel, the prime minister of the Palestinian government in Gaza said the people there paid a “dear price” to free detainees.Ismail Haniyeh said Friday that “Our people today will harvest the fruit of one destination of Jihad and steadfastness.
“Gaza has paid a dear price of blood and martyrs and agonies in actions the occupation had carried under the slogan of freeing Shalit,” Haniyeh told a crowd of worshipers before prayers in a Gaza City mosque.
“The great Palestinian people paid all that price in order to free the prisoners because we believe that the value of man is derived from the value of the homeland.”
The prisoner swap set to take place on Oct. 18, over three years in the making, was finally brokered last week with Egyptian mediation between Israel and the Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip.
Over 1,000 Palestinian detainees will be freed in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was captured by Gaza militants in a cross-border raid in 2006.
Some 450 Palestinian men and 27 women are due to be freed in the first phase of the swap, with Shalit expected to be handed over to Israel simultaneously. A further 550 Palestinians will be released in two months.
An official in the Popular Resistance Committee’s military wing released a list of prisoners it says Israel agreed to free in exchange for Shalit. It has not been verified by Israel or Hamas.
Israel is set to publish the list of prisoners it will free late on Saturday. It has already been said that almost 300 of them are men serving life terms.
After the list is released on the Israel Prisons Authority website, there will be a 48-hour period during which the Supreme Court can hear legal objections.
Families of the Israeli victims have said they will protest, but this is not expected to halt the swap, which has broad political and public support in Israel.
There are at least 6,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. They are regarded as heroes in their struggle against Israeli occupation and quest for statehood.

Palestine Nakba 63 years Today mourns with The Italian Convoy


May 15, 2011

On the 63-year anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, hundreds protested near Erez port, including the Italian Convoy Members.

Israel shot against the protesters. tens injured and a journalist is reported to be killed.

750,000 refugees who were forced out of their lands and their descends keep fighting for their right to return to their lands.

447 Palestinian Children killed by Israel


The death toll in Gaza is rising more quickly than we can keep up—earlier today, the Ministry of Health announced that at least 447 Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli airstrikes and shelling in the Gaza Strip. Hospitals are operating well over capacity, and there are no ICU beds available. 

Israeli airstrikes have forced our field researcher in Gaza, Mohammad Abu Rukbeh, to relocate his family at least four times since yesterday. They are moving from house to house, searching for somewhere safe—but there is no safe place in Gaza.

After his neighbor’s house in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip was bombed, Mohammad checked on his four children. “Thankfully, they were unharmed, but they were terrified to the point that they could not walk. My eldest son, 14-year-old Ahmad, told me that he couldn’t feel his left foot and had pain in the lower part of his back. My younger son, Karam, who is ten, also could not walk on his feet and was not able to hide his tears. Amina, our two-year-old little girl, was being held by my wife, and they were all terrified.”

Mohammad added, “While we have experienced previous attacks, such as the 2014 aggression that lasted for 51 days, it was not marked by this level of brutal ferocity. This time, it is a war waged by the organized Israeli army, supported by American aircraft carriers, accompanied by an unprecedented international silence. We are isolated people facing the fiercest war machines.”

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces and settlers are also targeting Palestinians with increased intensity: Since Saturday, Israeli forces and settlers have shot and killed seven Palestinian children.

If you would like to share a message with Mohammad, just reply to this email and I’ll pass it along. Thank you for all you’re doing to push for deescalation, humanitarian aid, and support for Palestinians in Gaza.

In solidarity,

US-Israel Relations and Obligations


“US Jewry has a strategic role in guaranteeing the future of the State of Israel.” Jay Ruderman, President of the Ruderman Foundation,

Learn more about United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of 2012– and he also said that; “Our foundation helped establish the Knesset Lobby for US-Israel Relations in a bid to encourage a deeper and more sophisticated dialogue between the two communities.” he is referring to Jews in Israel and Jews in the United States.

Rabbi Rick Jacobs said during the meeting of the Knesset Lobby for US-Israel Relations that “the members, donors, and leaders of AIPAC and Federations are Reform and Conservative Jews. With Senator Lieberman’s retirement, every Jewish member of the Senate and House is a Reform or Conservative Jew.”

What are our chances to free our country of double standards citizen’s lawmakers in the House and Senate that put Israelis first and the American people after in any decision taken regarding foreign policy?

Jewish National Fund


Created in 1901 to purchase land for a Jewish State in Palestine, the JNF is most commonly
known for its century-old campaign to ‘plant a tree in Israel’ in order to ‘make the desert
bloom.’
Contrary to the deception propagated by the JNF, Israel, and Zionist mythology, the trees are not planted in a barren desert empty of inhabitants that Jewish people have come to populate, and make flourish. Lands were, and still are, obtained from their Palestinian
inhabitants through exploitative land sales, forced removal, or the state imposition of other
apartheid policies. In its Memorandum of Association, two of the JNF’s stated objectives are
to:
“…purchase, acquire on lease, or in exchange, or receive on lease or otherwise, lands, forests, rights of possession, easements, and any similar rights, as well as immovable properties of any class…for the purpose of settling Jews on such
lands and properties” [Article 3(a)] and be of “benefit, whether directly or
indirectly, to those of Jewish race or descendency” [Article 3(c)].
As the Palestinian refusal to succumb to colonial rule and expulsion perseveres, decade after
decade, intifada after intifada, it sheds unavoidable light on the dark underbelly of ‘making a
desert bloom’ in a place that is fully inhabited.

In the Jewish communities where Zionism and Jewish identity became conflated, donating money to the JNF became an integral part of Jewish life.

The mass-produced blue JNF
collection boxes were distributed as early as 1904. The JNF Blue Box became one of the most
familiar symbols of Zionism and is taken to be the symbol of world Jewry’s support for Israel.

Trees were planted in Palestine, and then in Israel, in honor of births, bar and bat mitzvahs, marriages, and deaths. For many Jewish households and establishments, money collected was not seen as a donation, but as an investment; the JNF was understood to be contributing to the well-being of Jews, and therefore, it was only natural and right that Jews invested in it.
Pride was taken in these acts, reflected in the seemingly endless JNF plaques imprinted with the
names of those who donate money and those in whose honor or memory the money is
donated.

Is the United States Postal Service protecting its workers from SARS-COV-2?


Last week, I delivered a few packages at my local United States Postal Service. The business seemed usually quite for a late Friday afternoon in one of the busiest USPS business centers in Southern California.


I noticed that postal workers are not wearing protecting masks or gloves.
With the uncertainty of the rapidly spreading of the vurus, it looks careless from USPS to have their workers deal directly with the customers without being protected. 

According to all advices from health professionals and government channels, it is recommended to “keep a distance of 6 feet. ” 

Workers are a few feet away from customers, which led me to ask an employee whose name I ommitted because the proper channel for information is at the corporate level, a USPS employee said. 

Why they are not wearing protecting masks and gloves? she said, the USPS is not proving any and mask are not available at stores. 

“Few customers asked me the same, they should, she said.


Inmediately, I started writing this article, “Safety measures by employers to protect workers.”

I visited several post offices around Orange County, and just a few workers were wearing glove, but no masks. 

If the risk of contagion is so high, and only takes a customer to cough or sneeze in front to a postal worker, which by consequence will contaminate the counter and every inch of space near the postal worker, and everyone in the room, why not take extreme measures to protect postal workers? 

Everyone should know that sneeze’s droplets travels at a extraordinary speed.

According to Live Science
“During a good sneeze, up to 40,000 droplets of saliva may be expelled from the throat and some of them fly out of the mouth at speeds of up to over  200 miles per hour.
Most of the larger, heavier drops fall quickly to the floor under the influence of gravity. The smaller and lighter particles (those that are five microns or less across) are less affected by gravity and can stay airborne almost indefinitely as they are caught up in and dispersed by the room’s airflow.”

If the person is infected, there are 40,000 possible SARS-COV-2’s droplets in a single sneeze, with hundreds of thousand viruses per droplet.
To get clarity of the scope of the risks of postal workers.

UsPS network accepted more than 13.2 billion letters, cards, flats, and packages for delivery, exceeding 12.7 billion, accepted for delivery during the same timeframe in 2020.

With this many letters and packages handled by the USPS’s workers, we should have seen millions of postal workers with SARS-COV-2 and a few hundred thousands dead by COVID-19 .

The University of California, Los Angeles, on March 20, released a study on contamination on surfaces.

” The study attempted to mimic the virus being deposited onto everyday surfaces in a household or hospital setting by an infected person through coughing or touching objects, for example. The scientists then investigated how long the virus remained infectious on these surfaces.”

According to the study, the virus can survive up to 24 hours on cardboard.

The material of choice for shipping is cardboard. Postal workers are continuously handing packages made of cardboard material.

To protect postal workers, the USPS should consider providing protecting gear to its employees until the SARS-COV-2 spread is contained.

I wanted to get some insights of the scope of the risk and contacted the
USPS Corporate Communications Officer Media Relations Evelina B. Ramirez. 

I sent her a list of questions I needed; both to  help  postal workers to work in a safe environment during this coronavirus pandemic and to raise awareness of the situation. 


The question were simple and direct:

Hi Evelina
Mi nombre is Marivel Guzman, I’m a freelance journalist working on an article about “safety measures to protect postal workers”

My dateline is ASAP.
I have some questions regarding United Postal Service business center, at 3101 W Sunflower Ave, Santa Ana, CA 92799

Would you be so kind to provide me with this information?

How many employees does this location currently employ?

How many packages and letters, this location process in an average week?

What security measures are being put in place by the USPS to protect employees against COVI-19?

How many employees called sick since the outbreak was announced, and are there any corrections cases documented? 

It is obvious that USPS’s employees are in direct contact with potentially infected customers, and contaminated pachages, so I added the next question. 

Does the USPS consider providing counter and receiving employees facility with protecting mask and gloves?

And what extra measures are in place inside the receiving facilities, which handle boxes of different materials. 

She did not answer a single question I asked, but it provided me with CDC guidelines and information I have already found onn phanplets on the walls of the business location, and already widely distributed in the internet.

This is her copy paste lengthy response:


“Ms. Guzman,

The Postal Service is continuing to monitor the circumstances around the novel coronavirus, also known as “COVID-19.”  We are sharing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) guidance regarding the COVID-19 epidemic to our employees via stand up talks, employee news articles, messages on bulletin boards, and internal messaging inside USPS workplaces.

Currently, we are not experiencing operational impacts as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic and we are using this time to review/revise our contingency plans should they be needed.  Customers can view our most recent media statements and find a link to the CDC guidance at https://about.usps.com/newsroom/statements/usps-statement-on-coronavirus.htm

Regarding the importation of packages, the CDC states there is likely very low risk that the COVID-19 can be spread from products of packaging shipped from China, because of poor survivability of coronaviruses on surfaces.  Also, according to the CDC, there currently is no evidence to support transmission of coronavirus associated with imported goods; and there have been no reported cases of COVID-19 in the United States associated with imported goods.”

Sincerely,

Evelina Ramirez
USPS Corporate Communications
Media Relations

Ramirez avoided everyone of my questions. 

Transparency and honest response coming from official channels  is paramount to keep our communication safe in this COVID-19 pandemic scare. 

After reading the study published by the UCLA, it seems that shipping and handling letters and cardboard packages is a hazardous job, and yet Ramirez assured “there is no evidence to support transmission of coronavirus associated with imported good.”

There are two conclusions I made after receiving her response. Or either, the UCLA study was flawed, or the SARS-COV-2 wasn’t that contagious as the CDC, WHO, and Anthony Fauci said it was. If that was the case, postal workers would have been infected by the hundred of thousands, taking into consideration that they handled 1.2 billion of letters and packages.

Interviews from postal worker, anonymous 

The elephant in the room


Common sense says to me that the Espionage Act of 1917, by which former President Donald Trump was charged it is a way to intimidate him to abandon aspirations to run again in 2024.


Donald Trump at CPAC 2011 in Washington, D.C.”Donald Trump” by Gage Skidmore is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0.

Trump has all the classified documents in his possession for 4 years. Trump has those documents and meant nothing for him. He could have used them, read them, unclassified them, copied them, and stored them, wherever he wanted to.

There is so much he had to do when he was president that it’s little he did. Other than sign executive orders that nobody enforced. And endless rants on TV exposing mainstream media aka Fake News, as he called them, and trying to fix the economy.

He had the power to use them and create a strategy to better out our country. If they were really useful. I believe they were just rubish. If they were of any use. Old stuff classified by the previous US administrations and its agencies.

Important documents like the Iraq documents leak by WikiLeaks, and the Afgan war documents leaks. Both of the leaks were military logs, which tell me the Pentagon has its own set of classified documents that don’t share with the White House or Congress and did not classify using the National Archives.

Trump took some boxes of “classified material,” just because he could. Because all presidents take some when they leave office. I’m sure he was ill adviced about the  Presidential Records Act. After all, he had nothing but enemies, except for Rudolph Giuliani, who had been by his side all these years.

We might question what is exactly, that Trump took from the White House, when the sensitive information is kept by the Department of Defense and the 18 intelligence agencies.

Let’s explore those agencies. Were those agencies helping Trump or undermining Trump.

The US intelligence community is composed of 18 agencies, and each of them keep their own classified material. Remember 911, the chaos in the country, because the various intelligence agencies didn’t share information between them?

How did Trump end up taking classified documents when the chain of custody must be followed. Each agency has to authorize the documents before they are declassified and leave the archives.

Did Trump choose and pick the documents, or were they provided to him?

Democrats are talking about important documents related to nuclear professionals. Is that so? Did Trump take the blueprints of nuclear weapons progeams? Or perhaps he took the golden codes

The National Security Agency (NSA) generates the codes every day. So, it couldn’t be the codes

The Gold Codes are generated daily and provided by the National Security Agency (NSA) to the White House, The Pentagon, United States Strategic Command and TACAMO.

Anyway, I doub that Trump has any allies in those agencies. There are too many secrets to hide, too many agendas to follow.

The whole Indictment charade is controlled by higher-ups. Jack Smith is only the pawn. He has no power to have come out with all those charges. Who is really directing the whole spectacle? It has to be a group of very powerful people who are controlling the DOJ, FBI, WH. Democrats, and some Republicans.

Let’s address an important agency director; The Directors of National Intelligence is an independent agency. It advises the president but doesn’t answer the president. Even though the DNI is appointed by the president. All complicated stuff.

“The National Security Council initiated a review this summer to determine how to overhaul the elaborate and often arbitrary classification system that Democrats and Republicans contend is undermining democracy and national security. ” Politico, August 23, 2023.

Who is the National Security Council?According to White House(.)gov, The National Security Council (NSC) is the president’s principal forum for considering national security and foreign policy matters with his or her senior advisors and cabinet officials. Since its inception under President Truman, the Council’s function has been to advise and assist the president and to coordinate matters of national security among government agencies.


Trump might be an arrogant fool, but since his interviews from 40 years ago, Trump has been talking about China taking over our economy. And Trump was right. China is stronger than the US, and it’s making alliances with powerful states. Russia, India, Iran, and lately The African countries are siding with China as well.
China has been building relations, helping countries with real infrastructure. China is buying and building.


Trump was right to try to strengthen relations with China and North Korea. But top weapons manufacturers are fighting against each other to see who can get the more lethal weapons. President’s are not that strong against those monsters.


Whoever is behind the takeover of our republic has much to lose if Trump is found innocent.


Forget about Democrats and Republicans, and focus on what is at stake with Trump indictments.

As it is, our dollar is losing value in the global economy. China and Russia, two of the most powerful states, are trading in their respective currencies.

US is making a fool of itself. It is undermining our democracy, the only tool the US has used to intervene in the internal policies of foreign countries. Either to promote a coupe or to serve as a guarantor in the International Monetary Fund.

Think about it, and come to your senses. Demand from the leaders’ accountability instead of censorship and intimidation.

The spoils are Earth’s natural resources.

Trump wanted to make peace with China, Russia, and North Korea. Well, except with Cuba and Venezuela, he is under the ideological spell of 75 years of resentment due to indoctrination. And Syria and Iran, which is a much priced fish for him to handle. Syria is an Israel Target, and Iran is  an ennemy of Israel. Those two countries are out of the reach of any president.

Peace is the enemy number one of the war industrial complex.

2023 Modern Apartheid


By Marivel Guzman

South Africa Apartheid only lasted until mainstrea media expossed its atrocities. What’s going on in #OccupiedPalestine?

Israel atrocities are not only exposed but streamlined every day for the world to see.
The media is guilty of the deshumanization of the Palestinian native population.

Palestinians were forced out of their land 76 years ago. The United Nations illegally dispossessed Palestine of its native population signing Resolution 181, granting land rights to European residents.

Palestinians started their crucifixion in 1948 by direct order of the United Nations and televised.

Winter warm


By Marivel Guzman

There was a time, when I wondered in the timeless silence of solitude, when my books and my pen were my companions, my life was dull, bored and sad,

I was alone,

There was a time, when I flew in all the directions without compass, where the winds of the East were stronger than the West, I wanted to come back, but there was no place to call home, I felt alone,

I was lost.

There was a time, when “meaning” lost its true sense, where living was a painful task, eating was not a choice, writing was my secret refuge, and sleeping my escape, but even in my dreams I felt lost,  

I was exhausted.

There was a time,
when the air was hard to breath, my chest refused to expand, my eyelids weighted a ton, and my heart was cold as ice, living seemed to waste my time, to exhausted to be tired,

I was sad

There was a time,
when spring lost its colors, the birds chirped no more, the swelling buds collapsed, the seeds refused to germinate, my garden lost its essence with no birds or butterflies to feed,

I was dying

Time kept running out of my timeline, my space become confined, and it felt small to breath or move, but with courage, I stretched my might, and survived the loneliness of my sleepless nights.

I’m living again

I stepped out from the edge of death, and saw a world full of life, I amazed myself with wonders, I saw mountains blooming with majestic colors, I waved goodbyes to birds migrating North and South, and my garden is again an Eden to the bees, the insects and the butterflies, I breathe deep and calm, refreshing cool air awakes my conscience to receive a welcoming Winter warm.

I’m fresh like a morning rose, and my heart is joyful once again. It reminds me with its loyal beats, that I was never lonely, lost, or sad, it was always there for me, to comfort me with its warming pumps. But “winter warm” it’s my companion, it’s light that shines on my journey, it’s an anchor to keep me straight, to keep me dreaming for more tomorrows to come, and a paradise and refugee in case I need to escape.

Genocidal madness


May 23, 2019

In Palestine, the term “colonized” doesn’t do justice to current Palestine’s reality.

A colonizer comes to a land; usurps the rights of the indigenous population, but intermingles with them, he mixes with them through rape, slavery, commerce, and the imposition of powers.

But Israel is an entity which had usurped the Palestinian’s land. It had and continues confiscating the land. It had and continues displacing the native population.

And had killed and continue to kill them with a genocidal madness.

The following links correspond to a UN meeting on Nov. 2018

They addressed the struggles of the Palestinians as if is something alien to the fact, that the present situation of Palestinians it due to the creation of Israel and as consequence its imposition on the Palestinians.

On the “issue of Palestine,” the UN has spent the last 71 years in meetings, conferences, and meaningless resolutions.

While Israel has spent the same years dispossessing the indigenous population of Palestine of their lands to build more illegal settlements, and killing the Palestinians with a genocidal madness.

Stop being a hater, respect our choices


Vaccinated people are haters, what are they so proud of?

Even if you are vaccinated against COVID-19, you still get infected, you still will spread SARS-CoV-2, and you can still die of COVID-19 if unluckily you catch a variant of the virus. You still have to wear a mask, still have to social distance yourself in public places. You still, need a PCR negative test to fly, and on top of all that, you still need a booster or two each year.

Why are you so reluctant to accept our choice to refuse the COVID-19 vaccine?

We the unvaccinated people still have to do the same things you have to do, except for catching the variants and taking boosters every time the pharma industry lobby to Congress and gets approved under the Emergency Act.

By now science has proven by several studies that natural immunity is 13 times more robust than the partial immunity conferred by the vaccine. The following study concluded that fact: Comparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity: infections versus breakthrough infections

Also in another widely published study by Israel scientists, they found that COVID-19 recovery gave Israelis longer-lasting Delta defense than vaccines

Why can’t you accept that we chose freedom of body autonomy over mandates?

We chose to boost our immune systems and let our bodies protect us, rather than inject chemicals.

We have been working during the most critical times of the Pandemic, just like you had, don’t we?

Once hailed as heroes: health care workers, police officers, and firefighters managed just fine with masks during 18 months of the Pandemic. Essential workers and I add essential consumers did their work under health official guidelines, and they survived as far as we know.

Why now do health officials and governments want to force them to take a vaccine when the worse is over?

What is different now? I tell you what because governments had made billionaire deals with vaccine manufactures?

Countries were enticed to get International Monetary Fund Relief Covi loans, many at very unfair terms. But now the population of the world is footing the bill.

It’s coming out of our taxes, nothing is free. Look at the pump prices, look at the food prices, the vaccine you took for “free” is coming out from our paychecks vaccinated or not vaccinated.

How distreful (only momentarily,) I was banned (permanently) from r/coronavirus community for posting my blog. They don’t want to hear anything that contradict their ideas.

Live and learn! but don’t worry, be happy. My life still beautiful, my garden is blooming.

Love not hate will eventually unite us all. God bless you coronavirus community, I don’t hate you, but I pity you, I love you as part of my family on earth.

The Sharpeville Massacre


Posted on October 26, 2012 by Akashma Online News

Martin Meredith works of South Africa Apartheid-era, as he put it in his book “In the Name of the Apartheid”, published on 1988. His bibliography is comprised of more than 250 references that he used to compiled his book. But he gives special mention in the Bibliography section to: Anglo-Boer war, Pekenham, On the Rise of Afrikaner Nationalism, Adam and Giliomee, de Klehompson, van Benson, Biko, Karis and Carter, Lodge, Mandela, Walshe; on Platzky and Walker, Surplus People Project; on economic change, Lipton. A number of personal accounts also stand out. They include Bernstein, Carson, Finnegan, First, Joseph, Lelyweld, Winnie Mandela, Modisane, Mphahlele, Woords.
I mention his special list because you might want to go in a historical quest and read for yourself the works of the people that were involved in the research and compilation of events of that era outside of the Official story.

“As the tentacles of apartheid penetrated to every level of African society, African protests against the government steadily mounted. In rural areas opposition to apartheid measures like the Bantu Authorities Act flared into open revolt. There was prolonged violence in the Hurutshe Reserve in the western Transvaal, in Sekhukhuneland and in Pondoland. Chiefs and Councillors resisting government authority were deposed and deported. Armored units and aircraft had to be deployed to crush the Pondoland revolt. When the government decided to compel African women to carry reference books from 1956, there were protest marches in almost every major town.”

In 1948, Afrikaner Nationalists came to power bringing their own version of racial rule known as Apartheid and proceeded to construct the most elaborated racial edifice the world ever seen.
In the name of apartheid millions of people were uprooted from their homes; millions more were denied basic rights. In their attempts to resist apartheid, blacks tried public protests, petitions, passive resistance, boycotts, sabotage, guerrilla warfare and urban insurrection. At every event they were meet with repression, oppression, incarnation, deportation and death.

To get to the Sharpeville Massacre we need to understand what was the goal of the protests of March 21, 1960.

The pass law of South Africa was an old tactic used by black slaves owners to control the movements of their slaves.

The first time Pass documents were used to restrict the movement of non-European South Africans was in the early 1800’s. However, slaves at the Cape had been forced to carry Passes since 1709. Farmers at the Cape ran short of labor during the first British occupation of the southern tip of Africa in 1795, with its subsequent abolition of slavery in 1808. Until that time Dutch farmers employed by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) supplied fresh food to passing ships using slave labor to stock up the refreshment station. They could still sell slaves within the colony, but were prohibited from importing new slaves. The settlers and government turned to the indigenous Khoikhoi people to fill the labor gap. Pass Laws in South Africa.

Sharpville, was a town built as a black suburb for the steel manufacturing center of Vereenignig, fifty miles south of Johannesburg. In the times of apartheid, towns of this kind were built to house the workers of white businesses. Usually they will be only workers, no families. But eventually they outgrew the original plan and they become full towns, when getting too close to the white towns, they will be forcefully out rooted and relocated in far away lands.

Dissenters of the system and Suicides


Ilya Zhitomirskiy, a name maybe you do not recognize, but this young guy only 22 it is fighting for privacy rights, he has been working with another two friends to bring to you an alternative for Facebook.

Diaspora is a project that, if come to life, will easily take down the monopoly of Facebook.

We, as members of social networks, are continuously complaining that our privacy has lost its meaning. It has become just a product that is bought and sold. Our privacy is being mined by government agencies and marketing companies.

Facebook would be the worst place to share our friends, photos, status, articles, and videos.
If everyone knew how the facebook legal’s team teamed up with government agencies, you would immediately close your account.

Carefully review Facebook. pdf-file attached, you need to know what it is being done behind you.
Facebook is based, registered, and run in the United States of America.
This is bad because of the Patriot Act.” Even if Facebook starts respecting your privacy, your data is still easily available to every governmental institution in the country through open backdoors or requests, as this Facebook. pdf-file documents.

Think about what this means to your freedom. Rield.com
Ilya Zhitomirskiy will never know how his Diaspora project has taken off and taken millions of users from Facebook. He committed suicide just a few days before Diaspora was launched. Their goal was to provide an idealistic Facebook alternative with an emphasis on user control and privacy.

“Shocked and deeply sad for the world that my friend @zhitomirskiyi, co-founder of Diaspora, is dead… The world needed his voice,” said Mozilla interface guru Aza Raskin
Diaspora has launched a site redesigned in the wake of Zhitomirskiy’s passing.

Now we have another bright mind gone who did have a future as bright as Ilya. I’m referring to Aaron Swartz. Swartz was an accomplished programmer, a well-known internet activist, who we can say, was one of the younger politicians that could have changed the informatics age.

Rip Aaron Swartz and Ilya Zhitomirskiy, our world will miss these two great minds.
Sadly, Swartz also committed suicide.

He was overwhelmed by the government’s prosecution. The government wanted to put him behind bars for 30 years.

His crime, he wanted to make available the wealth of information trapped behind profitable scientific journals.

The Fourth State


The press is the fourth state with the ability to bring into the light, the government, and corporate’s corruption.

The US Constitution is the framework for the “check and balances” of the branches of government. But, without the press, those check and balances wont make it to the spotlight.

In the absence of accountability from the government, whistleblower and reporters play an important role in the publication of important material that shouldn’t be classified.

Crimes against humanity, which perpetrated by the US army, shouldn’t be classified.

Corruption and bribery committed by high government officials shouldn’t be classified.

Unethical practices by the government shouldn’t be classified.

All actions of the government-good or bad- should be transparent.

Since 2017, there have been 36 journalists arrested in the US.
The U.S. Press Freedom Tracker is a database of press freedom incidents in the United States — everything from arrests of journalists and the seizure of their equipment to interrogations at the U.S. border and physical attacks. The Press Freedom Tracker documents incidents across the country, involving national, state, and local authorities.

Julian Assange is the most prominent journalist and publisher being targeted by the US government for exposing its crimes against humanity.

Fear and love are not words


Fear and love are the two most powerful feelings that rule human existence. They are a state of consciousness.
I wrote this blog twelve years ago, and the experience still hunt me.
It is written as a journal, from a personal experience, and inspired by the novel of one of my favorite writers,  Don Miguel Ruiz, from his novel “Mastery of Love.”

I learned that fear and love in personal relationships are intertwined feelings that can’t be separated, but they can be balanced.

The only thing I’m certain of, it’s that in this roller-coaster of life, today is most important, because tomorrow is uncertain.

Don Miguel Ruiz is an inspiration for me. I was inspired to write this short personal journal departing from his novel, I expand his thoughts, and sometimes I entangled his ideas with mine, without any attempt to plagiarize his writings, but a simple recount of my personal experience.

Love must be found
At the end of the road, we are just humans in the same journey in life.

Humans used fear to domesticate humans, and our fear increases with each experience of injustice, and without noticing, we become less aware of the damage we are causing to ourselves and to others.

The sense of injustice is the knife that opens a wound in our emotional body, and we continue to be victims and executioners of our lives.

“Emotional poison is created by our reaction to what we consider injustice.” Some wounds will heal, others will become infected with more and more poison. Once we are full of emotional poison, we have the need to release it, and we practice releasing the poison by sending it to someone else. How we do this? by hooking that other person’s attention.

Take, for instance, an ordinary couple. For whatever reason, the husband is mad. He has a lot of emotional poison from injustice that comes from his wife. When they are not together, that poison keeps growing inside of them. When the husband comes home all mad from a full day of injustices or stressful day, the first things he wants to do is to hook her attention because once he hooks her attention all the poison can go to her wife, and he can feel the relief. As soon as he tells her how bad she is, how stupid or unfair she is, that poison he has inside him is transferred to her wife.

He keeps talking and talking until she gets his attention. The wife finally reacts and gets mad, and he feels better. But now the poison is going through her, and she has to get even. She has to hook his attention and release her poison, but now is not just his poison, it is his and her poison, if you look to this interaction you see that they are playing with each other wounds, like ping pong with emotional poison. The emotional poison keeps growing until one day, one of them is going to explode. This is how human beings relate to each other. They live in a domesticated world, where the emotions are programmed to work in a controlled environment.

It has been a long time since I cry over a story in a book, but this love story is so strong that it cuts deep in my emotions. As I read the lines in the book, I relied on the story, and I saw myself inside those emotions.

How can I live somebody else story and feel the same way? The same wounds, the same memories. The feeling it is awful and strange, but that’s how I remember. We are just part of the same hologram, only in the smallest version.

The vibration is interlaced like in a spider web, the same structure, fragile, and at the same time so powerful, strong that pulls you inside.

I was experiencing the emotions that were transmitted to me in the story. The sensation felt so real, the pain, and the love felt so real that shook my soul.

The excerpts of this story are part of “The Mastery of Love” by Don Miguel Ruiz, The Man Who didn’t believe in Love.

It’s a parabola style the same used by Jesus used to reprimand, congratulate, or simply teach his followers some lessons of life.

This man did not believe in love, he will preach in seminars, write books about his theories about love, he will say that love was just an emotional addiction of control for people using this emotion just to keep the hook on the targeted people.

According to him en every relationship one part or it is the one “giving” love and other receiving, when the receiving part got out of line, the giving part will stop the supply to force the receiving part to comply then just then the giving part will keep giving “love” or a fix.

One day he was walking in the park and saw a women crying, and he felt the necessity to approach and ask her why she was crying, she opens up to him and told him how she has been married for 20 years, and how she was taking care of the house, the kids and her husband, and even thought one day his husband start treating bad and telling how stupid, and ugly she was, until they divorced.

She say that life was unfair, This man told her all about his theory, and how love did not exist and how he has live happy without “love”,

They keep talking, and they stay as friends. They will go to eat together, to the movies and have become inseparable. The years pass, and they are the best friend, they even become intimates, but they never talk about love. One day he was away for a conference and he felt lonely, he was missing her company, when he came back, he told her that he miss her a lot when they were not together, that maybe he was in love, the women say that she has thought the same but she kept it for herself because she respected his view on love matters.

One day he start thinking on her, and was looking at a star, a beautiful star that he wanted to share that moment with her, he wished so hard that the star came to his hand, he run to give the star to her, when she was about to hold the star she doubt for a moment of his feelings and the star went crushing to the floor, for a moment they start looking at each other startled not knowing how to react.

In the end, the relationship ended, and they knew why. Putting their happiness in the hands of their partner is not the way love works.

When you make yourself believe that the happiness of your partner depends on you, it is when you place yourselves in a dream, a dream that is hard to fulfill because it is not real. Because the happiness is inside you and you give happiness, and in return you get happiness. You can’t live waiting to get happiness it won’t happen. Wake up from the dream and accept that you can’t get what you can’t give.

You can’t live waiting to get happiness it won’t happen. Wake up from the dream and accept that you can’t get what you can’t give.
So stop blaming your partner for your unhappiness.

When you do something, anything to try to please your partner, you do out of fear, you want your partner to like you and if he/she doesn’t feel pleased you feel hurt, you feel that is unfair, so your fears grow, you feel insecured and unhappy.

Remember, whatever you do, do it out of love, expecting nothing because love is an unselfish act. Love does not want anything in return. Love only gives. If you only give without expecting anything, there won’t be any disappointments, there will be no pain, only rewards.

I used so many times the expression; “I love you so much that it hurts” Just now, I see clearly that it was not an expression of love but an expression of fear. To feel un-loved, not to get the same intensity of my emotion in return. I was pitying myself asking for as much love as I was giving. I was living in a dream, an unfulfilled dream…Now I know.

I remember long ago telling myself that I was so happy that it seems unreal, one of those moments you say, “Too good to be true”, well that expression is true most of the times, and unfortunately for me it was. I have healed my wounds, and now I am able to speak of my emotions. It was hard but necessary. It is the only way to free yourself of your emotional baggage, your painful baggage.

Many times you say to
yourself, and sometimes in confidence to friends, that love is painful, and unfair and you cling to that existence believing that things will go better if you just stay a little longer, but you end up creating more chaos in your life and in the life of your partner, and hate starts to grow to the point that is impossible the existence together.
Anything you say or do is criticized and the same goes with your partner anything that he/she says receive an unwelcome response, it won’t get better believe me, not until you both realize that you are hurting each other in this ping pong of emotional pain that we subject ourselves. It seems as if we enjoy the pain. The discomfort is so great that you get uncomfortably numb. You keep pushing your emotional strength. It is hard to brake lose. I’ve been there, I have tasted the upsetting experiences that a bad relationship gives, and does not matter how many years you has been in the web, does not matter how much you think you know your partner, once you fall in that hole, it is like trying to get out of a bottle that is clear and you can see the outside, but your life slips back in.

Everything will be OK or contained for a lack of a better word, if only this emotional war that you are waging is in between two people, but is not the case. In this plane of existence that we live in, we all are bonded by this invisible web of frequencies, that affect everything and everyone around us, specially if you have children, they will receive your negative emotions, even if they pretend not to be affected, they do, and you have to be aware that their reality and yours are part of the same hologram.

Going throughout the years of self-inflicted wounds sounds unimaginable, but in the majority of the relationships is the case. When you know that you are living in this unhealthy relationship, why not get out, we keep inventing excuses to stay. We keep telling ourselves that tomorrow the situation will change, he will change, he is just kidding when he hurts you, when he insult you, you always forgive him, you cry and just that release of energy makes you feel better, at least for the moment, but in reality you keep growing hate inside yourself, you kid yourself when you stay and pretend nothing happened, you are a time bomb ready to explode.

When you know that you are living in this unhealthy relationship, why not get out, we keep inventing excuses to stay. We keep telling ourselves that tomorrow the situation will change, he will change, he is just kidding when he hurts you, when he insult you, you always forgive him, you cry and just that release of energy makes you feel better, at least for the moment, but in reality you keep growing hate inside yourself, you kid yourself when you stay and pretend nothing happened, you are a time bomb ready to explode.

Why do we do it? Do we like to be insulted? Do we enjoy being step on it, we might say we do it for our kids, or we don’t have a place to go, but none of these reasons are enough valid to go throught hell. It is very important to understand that we are exposing our kids to unnecessary emotional damage. They end up being the victims of our lack of love and insufficient and mutual disrespect. We might not see inmediately, but when they grow up and enter in a relationship on their own, they will be unconsciously fighting the demons that we are planting in them, not knowing how to react in situations where their parents acted so immaturely.

Is it some love that we try to save out of the ashes? or is the fear of being alone? What is it for you?

Maybe you still believe that you love your partner, for a moment you think that he/she still loves you, you feel insecure again, the fear to loose what you have, but then you must think, what do you have? when you live in an unstable situation, hanging in a web thin and fragile, you have to accept the reality, you have to wake up from the dream that is so lucid that can become a nightmare.

There is so much that a spirit can take before is shattered, you have to follow your inner instinct and make your choice, remember the choices, when follow the instinctive inner you, It will be a right choice, if you start making logical scenarios, then most probably your choice will not have a very happy ending.

Clear your emotional clatter and make your move. Remember that life is unfair only because you feed your fear before you feed your love. So get rid of the fear and love you, love you first, then only you will know if you are loved or if you just live in a dream feed by fear.

Some say that “if there is no pain, there is not love”, I don’t think so.

I still want to feel the emotional discharge of love, where there’s no pain, no tomorrow, only today.

I always dream of finding my soul mate, that love that will make me forget the nightmares of my past.

I’m always hoping to find that special moment, and I can grab and not let it go.

It is never too late to find love. When it comes to knocking on your door, be ready to open because it never rings twice.

Let yourself be taken for a ride, an experience that is soft, romantic, and easy to navigate without drama. Everything evolves in a very simple way. Where a simple eye sight or a glimpse that can make you feel loved and dissipated of all congestion and uncertainty, where there is no clatter or clouds in the horizon line.

Let yourself feel the soft essence of love, let it touch you with the breeze of a fresh morning that will feel like a glorious morning, shining with light. Do not think twice. Seize the moment.
Make your relationship relaxed and beautiful, not planning for tomorrow, living on the present as the most precious gift from God.

Make your relationship relaxed and beautiful, not planning for tomorrow, living on the present as the most precious gift from God.

No one can assure you that you will have a better tomorrow, If you can not enjoy the present day, how can you expect a tomorrow?

Make your day as romantic as the first date. It could be the day to remember.

Do not shed tears for the unknown that is not in balance with your life, as it does not exist yet, only today counts, do not make it a burden that tears you down with unnecessary desperation that could not even come as a reality.
Cherish today as the last day of your life. Your love is precious. Your life is precious. Make today to be a memorable day, the best day of your life.

When I grow up


By Marivel Guzman

When I grow up, I want to be like you
seeing the world pass through me,
growing roots deep into the sky
I need to learn how to fly.

When I grow up, I want to be like you
I want to give light and warm,
and grow roots on Mother Earth
I’m starting to warm up.

When I grow up, I want to be like you
quenching thirsty minds
planting seeds in little souls
my ignorance is starting to wear out.

When I grow up, I want to be like you
running rivers to the oceans
flooding fertile lands
A mother I become.

When I grow up, I want to be like you
I’m selfish, greedy, and honestly naive
But I’m still young with a thousand places to go
with a million goals to achieve
I’m not even a hundred and 300 years to live.

With the wind, the sun, little
Knowledge, patience, and some time, I’m sure to achieve it all

Man of peace


September 30, 2019

A man of peace!
In a guest op-ed in Metro New York on Friday, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan wrote that it is time for the world community to decide how long economic and political expediencies will continue to overshadow human values and morals, reported state-run Radio Pakistan.

Solidarity with the oppressed nations has come always from ordinary people, not the leaders of the nations, who always look the other way of the struggles of the people. But, we have a strong world leader, who is defying the “Status Quo, ‘ and is standing with strong voice against the powerful G7 and its puppets nations.

Khan has said over and over again, that he is in the path of peace, and he has demanded dialogue with India since he was elected.

At the same time, Khan has spoken on the floor of the UN, and in front of the press defending the people of Kashmir.

He is not asking to annext Kashmir, but to give the choice to Kashmirs to decide their future.

“The Pakistani nation will not sit back until Kashmiris are given their right of self-determination, whatever be the cost,” he said.

“We do not seek to negotiate until the recent unilateral annexation attempt by the Indian government is reversed, curfew lifted and Kashmiri stakeholders are made part of the negotiations,” he said.
The people of Kashmir are also looking for international support for their just cause, Khan said.

Study after study showed that school children do not spread the coronavirus, and further more, school children have very little risk of dying of coronavirus.

President Donald Trump was mocked by mainstream media when he said “open the schools, stop this nonsense, ” but Nancy Pellosi said “this administration is messing with the health of our children.

Take a moment and watch this video and demand to stop this whole nonsense of lockdowns.

Children should not wear masks, simply because they don’t spread the coronavirus, and they should go back to school.

Thw WHO and UNICEF adviced “children 5 and under should not wear a mask.”

If the data shows that children don’t spread coronavirus, why local authorities are mandating children to wear masks.

A young adult under puberty is considered a child, means 13 years and under should not wear a masks.

Trump still the US president


The New World Order Aka the United Nations vote this week to remove mariguana from “dangerous substances,” and the Democrats followed the lead.
Isn’t it something that a sovereign nation is almost taking orders from the UN?
“The U.N. Commission on Narcotic Drugs voted this week to remove marijuana and marijuana resin from the category of the world’s most dangerous drugs, paving the way for additional research opportunities.”
Why now?
Not that I’m against that mariguana being decriminilized, but its rather odd that congress is doing this now, when there is some much chaos in the country.
US is involved in vote fraud court cases, regardless if mainstream media try to hide the facts. Then the unnecessary lockdowns with a failed economy driving the country into a crash.
Is it some sort of diverting strategy, or the fact that nine months after the lockdown started, Congress isn’t passing a stimulus check for the people?
It begs the question, why Nancy Pelosi completely disregard President Donald Trump, while talking of present issues, and instead referers to the elected President Joe Biden, when the house is still in session and Trump is still the president.

A better world is possible


“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead

The collective consciousness is setting the tune. Do not give up. Never stop trying because a better world is always possible.

Every day, we have the opportunity. Don’t waste yours in meaningless negative thoughts.

WE MUST QUESTION THE COVID-19 STATUS QUO (W/DR. JAY BHATTACHARYA)WE MUST QUESTION THE COVID-19 STATUS QUO



SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2020

Dr Jay Bhattacharya is one of the doctors who pushed

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is a Stanford physician and economist and co-author of several seroprevalence studies on COVID-19.
In this must-watch interview, we talk about EVERYTHING, including the true infection fatality rate, comparisons to influenza, drama around his Santa Clara antibody trial, reinfections, vaccine development, economic and social impacts, why we MUST reopen schools NOW, the horrors of censorship of scientists and opposing dialog, how Stanford is contributing to the problem of stifling dissenting opinions, Dr. Scott Atlas and his advisory role to the president, empathy vs. compassion with regards to COVID, and MUCH MORE.
This is a must-listen interview with a really smart and thoughtful scientist who has been too-often maligned and mischaracterized by the media.


Transcript Below!


[Dr. Z] Hey, everyone Dr. Z, welcome to The ZDoggMD Show. Today I have a special guest look, I moved back to the Bay Area, so I could talk to smart people at places like UCSF and Stanford and in the Bay area. And I was all excited and then COVID hit and it was Zoom, Zoom, Zoom, and I hate Zoom. So today I have someone I’ve been wanting to talk to since this pandemic started, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is a Stanford Professor of Medicine and he has training and specialty in economics. Actually tell me Jay, who are you man?
[Dr. Jay] Well, okay.
[Dr. Z] Not in a metaphysical sense.
[Dr. Jay] Exactly, so I am a Professor of Medicine as you said at Stanford university, I’ve been at Stanford on the faculty for about 20 years. I’ve an MD and a PhD in Economics. And I studied health policy and health economics. I’ve been working on infectious disease, economics and epidemiology for 20 some years now.
[Dr. Z] So the reason I wanted to have you on the show was what you just said. You have the MD Stanford training and PhD in economics, which means you can see in a way that many frontline healthcare people, including public health people, aren’t able to see the bigger picture. Now you came to prominence during the pandemic as one of the coauthors of the Stanford Seroprevalence Study, which raised all kinds of interesting. I mean, tell me about that experience because I was talking about your piece early on saying, hey, if this is true, the actual infection fatality rate of this disease is actually much lower than we thought it’s still higher than flu, but it’s not as high as they’ve been saying in China. What was that experience like?
[Dr. Jay] I mean, that was incredible. Just an amazing, in some ways, dispiriting, but also exciting experience. Let me kind of go back just a little bit?
[Dr. Z] Absolutely.
[Dr. Jay] So what got me into it was I had done some work during the H1N1 Flu epidemic in 2009.
[Dr. Z] I remember that one.
[Dr. Jay] I mean, it was a big deal at the time, right? But luckily it didn’t turn out to be as bad as COVID, but especially at the beginning, people were really, really panicked over the high fatality rates that were the case fatality rates that were coming up out of all around the world.
[Dr. Z] I remember I was a practicing hospitalist at Stanford and everybody was like, we’re all going to die. It was a kind of a catastrophization.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, it’s actually an in the early days, there was good reason. There were these case fatality rates that looked like Ebola. It just did look terrible. In the months that followed what happened was people did zero prevalence studies and found that there were many times more cases of infections than there had been cases in H1N1 and the infection fatality rate, which turned out to be about a hundred times less than the initial case fatality rates in the H1N1 case.
[Dr. Z] So let me reiterate that for people who don’t understand some of the terminology. So case fatality rate is when someone is actually tested for disease, presents to care and is diagnosed with the disease, and then how many people die out of that group.
[Dr. Jay] Correct.
[Dr. Z] Infection fatality rate is, well, of all the infections that exist, including ones that we weren’t able to openly diagnose. What’s the rate of fatality in that group. And it was 100X different in H1N1.
[Dr. Jay] In H1N1 that’s right.
[Dr. Z] And so this got you interested then when COVID came around, I imagine.
[Dr. Jay] It looked like a repeat to me, right? So looked like the people were finding enormously high case fatality rates. I think World Health Organization said 3.4%. There was a piece published in JAMA in February Journal of American Medical Association, that said 2.2%. And these are terrible numbers.
[Dr. Z] These are horrifying numbers. These are the kind of numbers that would cause you to lock down the entire planet instantly, because you’re gonna lose that percentage of your population if everybody gets infected.
[Dr. Jay] Millions and millions of people dead, right if that’s the number in the United States alone.
[Dr. Z] Alone.
[Dr. Jay] If the numbers are right. But that was what happened at H1N1. And I said okay, well, do we really know how many people actually have it? And at the same time we’re worried about how much testing resources we had. Remember there was a shortage of tests. So we’re just holding onto the test to look at people who actually have serious disease, which is what you ought to do from a clinical perspective. But then from an epidemiologic perspective, can you extrapolate that to say, okay the population at large 3% of us are all gonna die if we get it. And we don’t have the answer to that. So that’s what led to the Stanford Seroprevalence Study.
[Dr. Z] Yeah.
[Dr. Jay] And the other share problem studies I’ve worked on. So it was this hypothesis. Like how many people actually have it? How deadly actually is it?
[Dr. Z] And so how did you do this study? Because there was a ton of controversy around the methods and the actual sensitivity specificity of the assay that you use and all that.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, so that was a lot of confusion around that. So we wanted to do a study that could be done very, very quickly, put it in the field very, very quickly. At the time of the study the FDA had approved for use some, the lateral flow assays, they looked like pregnancy tests, like little pregnancy kits. The one we used had pretty good error properties. You know every medical test has errors. I mean, there’s just not a, and you can’t avoid that. That’s just the nature of, we don’t have a tri-corder that can automatically tell me exactly what’s wrong with you, right? We need to look at the numbers and interpret them. At the time the FDA had approved for use these little lateral assayed tests, including the one we use, for sale but they hadn’t approved them for general use in the population. We could use them for research purposes, but not for clinical purposes. So we use one of those, the reason it was very simple. There are two kinds of tests to do antibody testing, there’s these ELISA tests, which are pretty accurate and then these lateral flow assay tests. For the ELISA’s, you have to draw venous blood. It’s really hard in the middle of a pandemic to go out and find, you know, can I draw venous blood from you? A big vial of it, or I can just do a little finger stick. The nice thing about epidemiologic work is that you can correct for the errors, which is what we did. Actually I’ve run three Seroprevalence Studies, one in Santa Clara County, one in LA County, and one in with Major League Baseball.
[Dr. Z] Did you get to meet a lot of baseball players?
[Dr. Jay] I got to meet a lot of, not baseball players, I mean it was surreal, I got to be in a meeting with all the owners. It was just–
[Dr. Z] Oh, wow, that’s nice.
[Dr. Jay] It was fantastic. I had to contain myself when I met the Yankee’s owner, but, you know, that’s another thing. So I ran three different studies and the interesting thing about the studies was we use very different methods to try to disseminate them. So the Santa Clara Study was the first one. It was a big study, 2000 some people in the Bay area in Santa Clara County.
[Dr. Z] Right.
[Dr. Jay] We wrote the study very quickly and we released it through an open science process,
[Dr. Z] Like a pre print,
[Dr. Jay] A pre print, right, exactly. So now the traditional path involves sending it to a journal. The journal then sends it to three anonymous reviewers. No one will hear it about it, except me. And that’s how I spend my life dealing with this three anonymous reviews, all of them always hate me.
[Dr. Z] So you’re not used to the whole planet hating you at once.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, that was interesting. So we sent it and I got 10,000 peer reviews in one day.
[Dr. Z] Oh my gosh.
[Dr. Jay] And it was kind of interesting, exciting. I learned a lot. So we made, what I would characterize a relatively minor error in standard error calculation, which we corrected within a week.
[Dr. Z] Right.
[Dr. Jay] And the number that we got was absolutely stunning. What we found was that the disease was 50 times more prevalent than people thought based on just the case number. So people thought in Santa Clara County, there were a 1000 cases as of April 3rd, I think it was. But in fact based on the study, you could tell 50,000 people had, had some antibody evidence of it the same time.
[Dr. Z] Right, which would correspond to an infection fatality rate at that time of what?
[Dr. Jay] About two in 1,000.
[Dr. Z] two in a 1,000
[Dr. Jay] So that means out of the 1,000 people who got the infection, 998 survived.
[Dr. Z] So 0.2%.
[Dr. Jay] 0.2%.
[Dr. Z] So double what we think the mortality is for flu.
[Dr. Jay] Well I am not 100% sure I know what the flu mortality, I know the evidence, it’s unclear in flu no one’s done the same kind of infection fatality rate numbers that they’ve done with for COVID that they’ve dealt with the flu.
[Dr. Z] So in many ways we’re comparing apples to oranges when we’re comparing flu–
[Dr. Jay] So let’s come back to that flu comparison. ‘Cause it is interesting and important, but I think the key thing is how much would you change your life’ for two in a 1,000 risk? And there’s a couple other things we learned. So one is that if you’re older, it’s much higher. It’s probably much worse than the flu actually.
[Dr. Z] Yeah.
[Dr. Jay] For older
[Dr. Z] Order of magnitude.
[Dr. Jay] So if you’re over 70 versus if you’re let’s say you’re under 15 or under 10. It’s on the order of a 1000 to one difference in mortality probability. So the flu is much more deadly if you’re older, if you’re over let’s say 65 or 70. And if you’re under–
[Dr. Z] The flu or COVID we are talking about?
[Dr. Jay] I’m sorry COVID I apologize. It’s COVID is much more deadly if you’re over 65 or 70, and if you’re under say 40, the flu is worse. That’s what seroprevalence studies shows.
[Dr. Z] And that was the sense that I was getting early on too. And seroprevalence study was supporting that. And you said something which we’re gonna get back to. I think that’s a theme of this, how much would you change your life for a two in a 1000 chance, right?
[Dr. Jay] Yeah and I think that age difference is important. The absolute number is also important well, let’s get back to that theme.
[Dr. Z] Yeah, absolute versus relative risk, yeah.
[Dr. Jay] So the interesting thing about that, so we released the LA County Study. It was immediately accepted in JAMA and published.
[Dr. Z] Just instant.
[Dr. Jay] It’s the same number
[Dr. Z] Peer reviewed.
[Dr. Jay] Peer reviewed, yeah. I’ve never had such an easy time with a review it was a very strange. Whereas the Santa Clara Study, it exploded Twitter. I’m not on Twitter myself.
[Dr. Z] Thank God for you.
[Dr. Jay] It was actually probably good for my sanity.
[Dr. Z] It really is.
[Dr. Jay] And everyone on earth was paying attention to it all at once, one study, right.
[Dr. Z] Right, pre print.
[Dr. Jay] And everyone was convinced that I was absolutely wrong.
[Dr. Z] Yeah.
[Dr. Jay] 100% wrong because people had fixed in their mind, New York City where the death rate was higher. Actually we know from seroprevalence studies that it was higher, the actual infection fatality rate was higher in New York City. So now since then 50 some studies from around the world have been done. And there’s a consistent theme that the infection fatality rates somewhere between two and three in 1,000, just like what we found in Santa Clara, just like what we found in LA County and the places that have higher density where you think did worse, you know, Bergamot, New York City, they did worse. Their infection fatality rate is worse five in a 1,000, six in a 1,000 in some Spain, maybe 10 in a 1,000.
[Dr. Z] So, okay, there’s a lot here. And again, this gets me fired up because I’ve been talking about this myself, why would an infection fatality rate be different in say New York versus at Santa Clara? Walk me through that.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, sure so we think about infection fatality rate as if it were just a–
[Dr. Z] Static.
[Dr. Jay] Well, as if it’s the virus itself, it’s a feature of the virus. Here’s the virus. Here’s the infection fatality rate. That’s wrong thinking. It’s a function of the virus obviously, the biology of the virus, but also the host and also of the healthcare system taking care of the patient.
[Dr. Z] Do they survive or do they get care
[Dr. Jay] All three of those things matter a ton.
[Dr. Z] Ah.
[Dr. Jay] So for instance, if you look at the case fatality rate for this disease, just case fatality forget about infection fatality, right? This is the number of people who have the disease who actually died from it. It’s declined very sharply since March and April.
[Dr. Z] Sure has, cases up deaths down.
[Dr. Jay] Has the virus changed? Maybe a little, I mean, there’s some mutation, but not enough to think that it’s had any appreciable change. What it is, is a few things. One is the set of people that are getting infected are less vulnerable to it. They tend to be younger. And so they just don’t die at higher rates from it. The second we were better at managing it, better treating it.
[Dr. Z] Right, dexamethasone.
[Dr. Jay] Exactly.
[Dr. Z] Not intubating everyone.
[Dr. Jay] Not killing people with ventilators right. I mean that would seem like a really good idea.
[Dr. Z] Yeah which by the way, wasn’t clear in the beginning at all. So not to disparage people who are intubating everyone, but we just didn’t know.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, I know, look, I have a lot of sympathy and people were really brave going in when we didn’t have the numbers. I honor that, absolutely. But it is absolutely the case, we’ve learned a lot about how to treat the disease and we’re much better at managing than we once were. I think that kind of news ought to get out more. That seems like an important fact, our understanding of disease shouldn’t be frozen in Amber, in March.
[Dr. Z] No, so you’re preaching to the choir because I just did a video on this, on the cases up deaths down. I actually think that there is a lot of catastrophization and misunderstanding, and there’s been a polarity that I’ve not seen in science ever. And the thing is folks like you, this is the thing I criticized your trial as well, but also put it out there and said, hey, this is what’s going on. This is the critique, et cetera.
[Dr. Jay] Well, science, that’s how it works.
[Dr. Z] That’s what you do in science.
[Dr. Jay] I mean, I didn’t mind the science. Of course we talk, we look at the data, we try to interpret it. That’s the fun part of science.
[Dr. Z] But the vitriol and the censorship too, like Ioannidis is your partner in that one of the most respected scientists actually has done papers and papers and papers on how we get science wrong with our own biases, right. Was accused of severe bias and censored.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, it was absolutely shocking. So, like Buzzfeed attacked my family, Buzzfeed.
[Dr. Z] Can I say, so anytime I see anything in Buzzfeed, if it isn’t 10 reasons celebrities have done something that make you go, what I’m shook! I don’t listen to it because it’s so clearly biased.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, it was really kind of
[Dr. Z] Buzzfeed attacked your family?
[Dr. Jay] Yeah they said my wife was involved in like she volunteered, my daughter actually volunteered as a, it was lot of community involvement with the feeling around the study in Santa Clara was a lot of volunteers a lot of people, it was a really good feeling. And my wife was super excited about the study. She’s an oncologist. She wrote a email and to her friends, encouraging them to sign up and somebody leaked the email, which had some information that was not quite right. And then Buzzfeed made her international news.
[Dr. Z] Oh my God.
[Dr. Jay] That’s the hardest part of this. It was just getting my family involved with it in a way that I didn’t expect.
[Dr. Z] What’s the agenda for that, that you’re somehow minimizing the pandemic and gonna cost lives, is that right?
[Dr. Jay] I think so, that’s part of it. The same Buzzfeed author then wrote an accusation that somehow, because people gave money, including like, I guess a JetBlue executive
[Dr. Z] Right, I saw that.
[Dr. Jay] To Stanford
[Dr. Jay] Right, right 5,000 bucks.
[Dr. Jay] 5,000,
[Dr. Jay] So 5,000 which is a rounding error on the cost of a trial.
Well, in this case, the study was we ran a really cheap, it was less than a $100,000 for the study.
[Dr. Z] Nice.
[Dr. Jay] But they give the money to Stanford and somehow I’m gonna change the results for the, it’s just ridiculous.
[Dr. Z] You know what, Jay, when you’re in big JetBlue’s pocket anything goes bro
[Dr. Jay] It was really kind of him to give money for the study was like, I’m grateful.
[Dr. Z] And that’s fine that he had his own agenda, which was probably, hey, yeah.
[Dr. Jay] Everyone has an agenda
[Dr. Z] Everyone has an agenda.
[Dr. Jay] So my agenda was to learn what that number was. I think we now know it.
[Dr. Z] So your feeling now is that somewhere between 0.2 and 0.3% infection fatality rates.
[Dr. Jay] That’s the median around the world
[Dr. Z] Median, around the world, It may be higher in places like a New York.
[Dr. Jay] [Dr. Jay] Yeah.
[Dr. Z] Why was it higher in New York, do you think?
[Dr. Jay] I think there’s lots of reasons. I think potential one is I think the set of people that were infected in New York were older. And the institutions where they are infected was less capable of dealing with it in the early days of the epidemic. So there’s something to this and the fact that it was older people in nursing home settings that weren’t sort of equipped to manage it. I think that played a big role in why it was higher in New York. The other thing is I think there’s a, and this is a theory I’ve seen, I think, I mean, there’s something to it, when viral load is higher, when you’re exposed to it multiple times over and over again, you just get a worse outcome.
[Dr. Z] So I talked about this with Monica Gandhi yesterday on the show UCSF ID doc, and her theory of viral inoculum correlating to severity.
[Dr. Jay] I saw that.
[Dr. Z] Yeah, yeah and she actually posited the same exact thing in, it’s a theory like it’s was hypothesis in New York was that people are in the built environment or on top of each other, especially minority communities, which were hardest hit. And so, as a result, if you’re out in Queens or somewhere, and you’re just living in this multifamily home, told to stay indoors, right. What are you doing? You get a high viral inoculum. And again, it’s a hypothesis, but it’s interesting because that would affect your infection fatality ratio if that is a component of how severely ill you get.
[Dr. Jay] Correct and that is what explains why nosocomial spreads like hospital’s spread it’s so important.
[Dr. Z] Exactly. We talked Dr. Li, the guy, the ophthalmologist in Wuhan who first sort of broke this news and he died and he was 33 and the thought was, he’s an ophthalmologist. So he’s seeing patients this close to their face, getting viral inoculum right in the face. And now we’ve learned a lot from that. that’s why we N95 and face shield in the hospital and paper and all that. If we can yeah. So do you think the infection fatality ratio, if you just looked at one community, like say Latinos, Latinas, would you think it’d be higher there from what we’re seeing?
[Dr. Jay] From what I’ve seen, I think that minorities are harder hit with this epidemic. That’s absolutely true. So black communities, Latino communities are been harder, especially in California, Latino communities make up the bulk of the–
[Dr. Z] Disease yeah, 45% yeah.
[Dr. Jay] It’s incredible, I don’t think the infection fatality rates,
[Dr. Z] Sorry 60%, 60% of cases in California
[Dr. Jay] But I don’t think that the infection fatality rate is much higher conditional on getting it. It’s just they’re more likely to get it.
[Dr. Z] I see.
[Dr. Jay] It may be a little higher. I mean, you know, it’s hard to.
[Dr. Z] See because is there preexisting disease more in that community, chronic disease, diabetes, hypertension disease.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, that’s the question. So if you have these underlying conditions, of course, you’re more likely to die from, if you’re older you’re more likely to die from it, things like that we know for a fact. Once you control for that, if you’re Hispanic, are you more likely to die? My guess is probably not.
[Dr. Z] Interesting.
[Dr. Jay] It’s mostly those preexisting conditions and the fact that you’re more likely get it in the first place.
[Dr. Z] Now, one counter proposal I might say as well, if viral inoculum does matter, if that hypothesis is true and Hispanic families are more likely to congregate together under one roof, you might see actually a higher infection fatality rate in that.
[Dr. Jay] It could be yeah. There’s a study that was done in Mumbai, in the Dharavi Slums in Mumbai.
[Dr. Z] Yes, I saw that, explain it.
[Dr. Jay] First, the, the prevalence was enormous. I mean, I think it was like–
[Dr. Z] It was 80%, 60 or 80.
[Dr. Jay] I actually talked to some of those study authors, the studies who ran the thing. Essentially the idea they have is that the lockdown put people, this is a slum where like 10 people live in the same house and there’s police walking around, making sure that if you walk out of the house, you’re gonna be arrested. So they put 10 people in the house, they probably spread the disease with the lockdown, enormous viral load. You can see with the 80% antibody number right.
[Dr. Z] Right
[Dr. Jay] But the infection fatality rate was really low.
[Dr. Z] Minuscule.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah.
[Dr. Z] Like I think it might be an under reporting to some degree, but like 200, 300 deaths out of all these.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah it was really, really low. So part of that is they don’t have the diabetes, they don’t have the obesity, they don’t have those kinds of predisposing conditions.
[Dr. Z] ‘Cause they’re thin.
[Dr. Jay] And they’re younger.
[Dr. Z] They’re younger.
[Dr. Jay] So, I think we’re still learning and at least I’m still learning quite a lot about this disease.
[Dr. Z] Well, and you know the other thought that I had, and again, this is just pure mental masturbation is the idea that that group may be exposed to so many pathogens on a daily basis, including Corona Viruses, et cetera, that they have some innate T-cell immunity or mucosal immune something that we don’t have.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, I think there’s some evidence of that even in the United States right.
[Dr. Z] Yeah, exactly.
[Dr. Jay] I saw this really interesting study where it looked at, it was a small study so I don’t know if it generalizes it will hold up when it’s done larger, but people who have young kids, you know if you have young kids, I have three kids and when they were little I had colds all the time. People with young kids are less likely to die from it.
[Dr. Z] And that really tells you something like, I remember I had a severe cold actually just in January before it was really widely prevalent and I never had antibody testing or anything. So I don’t know if it was COVID, but I doubt it. No one else in the family was sick. I caught it from a friend who was in Las Vegas. And I wonder whether getting those really jazzes your T-cell immunity kind of like getting a BCG vaccination or something like that.
[Dr. Jay] There seems to be increasing evidence that T cell mediated immunity does matter quite a bit.
[Dr. Z] But even talking about that people are like, “stop minimizing the catastrophe.”
[Dr. Jay] I don’t understand this, like this is not politics to me. This is a really important epidemiologic phenomenon that we absolutely have to get our hands around. We need the best science possible. I don’t understand the politicization of you’re on team apocalypse or you’re on team doom, right, team–
[Dr. Z] Team denial.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, exactly.
[Dr. Z] I liked that team apocalypse versus team denial go! That’s really what it is. And we say that we don’t understand it, but we do understand it’s an election year all that, but as scientists, we don’t condone it is what we’re trying to say. You got sucked into it, right? Because by definition now you’re on team denial because you did science that doesn’t support the press’ narrative of X, Y, and Z.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, what I was taught in public health circles, we actually give people the right information, the true information. We don’t unduly stoke panic just in order to get the result we want, which is essentially you’re gonna comply with this order or that order. We don’t do that. We tell people, okay, here are the risks. We have to trust people to react to that appropriately. Not many times, they won’t some but many times they will, but on net if you wanna maintain trust in the public health community, the absolute first thing we have to do is tell them the absolute truth about what we know and we don’t know.
[Dr. Z] So what you’ve nailed here again, is something I talked with Vinay Prasad on the show about which is authenticity. We suck at it in medicine, we prevaricate, we think we don’t trust the public to do the right thing. We are paternalistic to a fault. So when Monica was on the show yesterday, she said, you know, I’m an HIV researcher. I believe in harm reduction. How dare us preach at people wear mask you dummy, you stupid person. And do you wanna kill grandmothers? And this and this and this, that’s not the way to communicate public health. You communicate the uncertainty, but you communicate what we know and her whole thing as well, if mass reduce inoculum, and it’s a low risk intervention, then maybe you guys should do that. But it’s your decision. I don’t wanna mandate it. And if we get 80% compliance according to our data, maybe that’s a tipping point, but you know, again, it’s a hypothesis.
[Dr. Jay] I’d amend that a little bit. I agree with that actually, but the only thing I’d amend is it’s related to the harm you really, really are seeing. So if we really are seeing it’s a 3% mortality disease, yeah then I’m okay with more aggressive. But if on the other hand we’re really uncertain about that 3%, which we were. If we really don’t know, we should tell people, look, it’s looking like 3% we don’t know, let’s see, here’s what we’re doing to try to figure it out. We should just be honest about what we don’t know. I think to me has been the most shocking thing that the public health people and doctors have dawn this mantle of absolute knowledge in a place where I’ve read a lot of this literature there’s a lot I don’t know even though I’ve been reading the literature scientifically. So we just don’t know. We should say that. Why is it bad to say that when we just don’t know.
[Dr. Z] You know, and what it does there’s a side effect of that, that we’re seeing now, which is when doctors and public health officials say, “don’t wear a mask.” and then yeah in the next breath, “wear a mask of any kind. “I don’t care “if it’s just the lace panties over your face wear that” we look like idiots. And on top of that, the public then, which isn’t as dumb as they’re portrayed by the intellectual elite, goes, “now wait a minute.”
[Dr. Jay] And they should.
[Dr. Z] And they should. And then what happens is, and you see it in the comments to my own videos, right? If I do a video kind of leaning in one direction, a billion people comment the other direction. If I lean in, in that other direction, a billion people comment, the public is trying to find truth.
[Dr. Jay] Right.
[Dr. Z] And it’s tough.
[Dr. Jay] I mean, you know, that’s okay. We’re having a conversation, there’s stuff I’m learning from you. I hope there’s some stuff you’re learning from me. And basically that’s what science is. It’s a conversation that leads to more data that leads to more conversation. That’s what it is.
[Dr. Z] So what you just said is absolutely reasonable and rational and Buzzfeed attacks your family.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, so, I mean, that was tough, I have to say. That was probably the hardest parts of the whole work on this was just feeling like I’ve dragged my family into something. There’s one thing to go after me. It’s another thing. Like, but in any case, let’s leave me aside. So we put this paper out, we find this number 0.2 to 0.3, and then a whole series of studies started coming out from around the world to find the same number. Many of them published, the peer reviewed literature I think now has established it.
[Dr. Z] So let me ask you a question though. So what, two to three times a flu is still catastrophic, man. Well, how do you respond to that?
[Dr. Jay] I’d amend that, there’s also no vaccine.
[Dr. Z] Right no vaccine and we didn’t have treatments.
[Dr. Jay] Absolutely it is worse than the flu for those reasons.
[Dr. Z] Thank you ’cause I think that the denial, I think a lot of people perceive a denial. This comparison with flu is very charged and the truth is–
[Dr. Jay] It’s worse than the flu. And I think for older people, it is absolutely we should treat it like it’s much worse than the flu, because it is worse than the flu. So for instance, nursing homes, right? So I just looked at a paper that said that nursing homes often share staff workers. So like one staff worker works in nursing A may also works in nursing on B. We should be using our testing resources to make sure that when shared staff workers move back and forth, they don’t bring the virus back and forth with them across these nursing homes. That seems like a completely reasonable outcome of the fact that older people are much more vulnerable, especially people with comorbid conditions.
[Dr. Z] And you’ve been a big advocate of protecting vulnerable groups.
[Dr. Jay] That’s the whole point of this is to learn who really should we be using our relatively limited resources to protect. And when we raise alarm, who should we be doing it for. There’s cost to raising alarm, right? So like, if I panic you, you may take actions. That’s the whole point of the raising the panic and the alarm. But those actions will have very little effect or much less effect on the spread than the costs that you pay and the society pays for those acts.
[Dr. Z] And the problem with those costs are they’re often in tangibles, like I have had fans, who’ve become fans of my show since we started the COVID adventure. And the reason they became fans is they have generalized anxiety disorder, or they have some level of anxiety. They have been jumping out of their skin, watching the press catastrophize about this in generating the fear that I think was the medical establishment was complicit with because they are seeing it on the front lines in a very biased way. Oh my God, my ICU is full of people who are dying, including some young people. And therefore anything we can do to get the public to behave is gonna be important, right. And then what ends up happening is these poor individuals who have a tendency to anxiety are losing their minds. So they tell me, I watch your show because you seem rational and you have opposing viewpoints, and you’re not just saying we’re all gonna die. And I think why should I be the one who’s doing that?
[Dr. Jay] Well, you have a good audience.
[Dr. Z] I think that ought to be the general.
[Dr. Jay] I agree with that. I don’t really understand it, but it seems like people want, especially the press seems to want to create this panic. So every time there’s a study that comes out, that a child has died, which has happened absolutely for this disease. You’re gonna get this panic headline from the press. Now, one of the things I’ve learned from the seroprevalence studies, again from around the world now, not just mine, is that there’s a very wide range of clinical presentations from this disease. It ranges from, somewhere between 30 to 40% of the people that get it have no symptoms whatsoever. They can’t remember. They have the antibodies, but they have no symptoms that they can remember from it maybe even a larger part have relatively mild symptoms. It’s like a cold. And a small fraction have this horrible viral pneumonia that kills them. We focus all our attention on the viral pneumonia and none on the fact that 998 people are gonna recover from it.
[Dr. Z] Yeah, that’s a feel good hit of the summer, right there. Like that’s a positive story and they’re going to develop immunity and this whole panic about, well, no, we’re never immune. That’s another press thing.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah.
[Dr. Z] It’s insane
[Dr. Jay] It’s like no other virus does that, right.
[Dr. Z] Exactly well, what do we all, and the related piece to that, like you said, one story about a child.
[Dr. Jay] HIV, I guess
[Dr. Z] MISC, HIV I guess, strep throat. You can’t have a vaccine.
[Dr. Jay] So actually it’s a legitimate scientific question, but one we now have an answer to. You do develop immunity, this virus.
[Dr. Z] And the thing is because we have now millions of cases and we can look and there’s been like, I think two documented cases of actual re-infection.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah.
[Dr. Jay] One was like, it was totally mild. The other was more severe. And so you could think in a population there’s variants, right.
[Dr. Z] But two out of millions right? So, and as you said, the first case, that was the reinfection, it looked like the guy was protected.
[Dr. Jay] Mild, which is what you would expect, even with a cold, like, you get a cold one year, you may get it again the next year, but it’s gonna be minor.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, if you have the same virus, even if the antibodies fade, you may have T-cells or other mechanisms immunity that make it so that, it’s not that you won’t get sick, but you’ll get sick much less and it won’t create severe illness.
[Dr. Z] Now, one thing that’s gonna come up, and this comes up a lot again, in the catastrophization camp, but what about the long haulers and the terrible damage to the lungs and the cardiac damage and the brain damage and all the other things.
[Dr. Jay] You know, those happened with influenza.
[Dr. Z] Exactly, right.
[Dr. Jay] So my son, my young son, 13 year old now a couple years ago, got the flu and he’d had the flu vaccine and he still got the flu.
[Dr. Z] Which happens.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, it happens I mean it was fine. Like, it was a little worse than I thought it would when you normally would get, and he was getting better and he woke up one morning and he couldn’t walk.
[Dr. Z] Oh my gosh.
[Dr. Jay] I was going through all the panic things when you go through medical school, you always have to.
[Dr. Z] Like Guillain-Barre.
[Dr. Jay] That’s exactly
[Dr. Z] Transverse myelitis.
[Dr. Jay] And I’m like, Oh God. So it turned out it was benign myositis. Thank God and within a week he was walking again. Flu has all kinds of strange side effects. It has neurologic side effects. It can have cardiac side effects. We put these in context, right? These are things that happen. Absolutely can happen. but we have a lot of information about how frequent they are. Are they likely? How long lasting they are? If it was Guillain-Barre would have been terrible, but if it’s benign myositis it’d last week and he’s okay.
[Dr. Z] So that’s funny because my daughter had a viral syndrome when she was three and couldn’t walk and again benign myositis. But again, you go through the panic, but the point being these things happen with viral infection, this is a new viral infection that we don’t have a vaccine for. That is novel to the degree that it’s novel. Although we seem to have some innate immunity from cross-reactivity to Corona Virus, and yet we are spinning it as if the world is ending. And the thing is that would be fine if we thought it was actually going to cause less harm to spin it that way than not, but it’s actually causing a lot of harm in terms of the response. So whether it’s suicide rate going up, substance abuse, economic catastrophe, mortgaging our children’s future, creating intergenerational divides now.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, I was hoping we get to talk about that. ‘Cause that’s something I think has been vastly underemphasized and it’s breaking my heart. So let’s talk about suicide. The CDC released a report, I think in July that it was a report where they ask about suicidal ideation. Like how many suicidal thoughts, have you have you had any serious suicidal thoughts. One in four 18 to 24 year olds, one in four 18 to 24 year olds in June had serious thoughts of suicide.
[Dr. Z] You know, so my assistant is in her early twenties and she only just recently told me during the early lockdown stuff, we didn’t have her in our house. And, kind of kept her on a, not a furlough we were paying her, but she isolated. Now this is a hyper social person in the prime of her life who is now told, don’t leave your house sit there with your dog. And she told me now that it was so awful for her, you know?
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, for a disease for her 20 early twenties, probably one in 10,000 death rate. We’re basically imposing asking young people who are meant to live in community. Not me I was a hermit, but everyone,
[Dr. Z] Me too, I really enjoy this.
[Dr. Jay] But we’re not meant to live alone in our house hold up, it’s going to have consequences. It’s gonna have severe negative consequences, psychologically, and we are already seeing it. That is just the beginning of the cost of the lockdown. Worldwide, they’re reports of hundreds, of millions, of additional people starving as a result because you said you’re talking about economics. So one of the themes I’ve heard argued against me when I make this point is, well, look, you’re talking about the lockdowns and there’s some economic costs, but what are they relative to the lives we save. But it’s not lives on one side the economy on the other. The economy is really important to the lives of the people who are in the midst of it. And hundreds of millions of people around the world that are on the edge of economic disaster. And you push them over you, you destroy the world economy. It’s not just dollars. It’s hundreds of millions of people starving. And that’s what the UN has said. Then you go, and it’s fine.
[Dr. Z] I said this, like in the first month of this pandemic, I said, you guys seem to have this false dichotomy between economy and lives. Blood is treasure it’s there it’s a transitive property. When you start having unemployment, the suicide rate goes up in the world when you shut the economy down, people starved to death. And this idea, and I’m gonna rant for one second and you may or may not agree with me. I feel like my own tribe of people, the healthcare professionals, have held the rest of our country hostage with their catastrophizing around this, which was done with good intent. These are good smart people. And they’re right. We’ve had deaths and terrible outcomes, but they fail to see the bigger picture. And Monica Gandhi on the show yesterday said, as doctors it’s our responsibility to see this.
[Dr. Jay] Our job is to show people that picture, I’d say even more than just, I mean, I call us the Zoomocracy and I mean it. So like, I’m fine I can be on Zoom and I’m not going to lose my well, maybe who knows the Sanford could keep me.
[Dr. Z] We gotta talk about that.
[Dr. Jay] But I think I’m fine, right? So like, why should I care about, well, my job is to tell people what’s happening in the rest of the world, I think. There’s this program called Gavi, which is a program for vaccinations International Program for Vaccinations. They’ve halted their operations because of the lockdown.
[Dr. Z] So polio comes back, measles comes back. measles never gone, measles is still here.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah we’re gonna see research we may even see resurgence in polio in the United States because people stopped taking their kids for the OPV vaccine.
[Dr. Z] Yeah absolutely cancer screening, their mental–
[Dr. Jay] So we’ve had good news from cancer for the past few years. We’ve actually had decreases in cancer related mortality for the first time in my memory anyways, for three or four years in a row that will reverse, we’re gonna start seeing later stage breast cancers, later stage prostate cancers, people stopped getting screening. People actually even stopped getting treatment for cancer, active cancer. During the epidemic.
[Dr. Z] Yeah I’ve seen that. HIV, patients are losing their viral suppression. Monica was talking about that because they’re not coming in.
[Dr. Jay] Tuberculosis millions of extra tuberculosis cases ’cause you have tuberculosis, you have to treat over a long period of time with regular antibiotics. People come in around the world because they’re–
[Dr. Z] Directly observed therapy, all this other stuff.
[Dr. Jay] Exactly and that stopped were gonna see a resurgence of tuberculosis deaths.
[Dr. Z] Well, so let me ask a question because this is very gloomy stuff. Like, honestly, when you said earlier, you were heartbroken. This is what keeps me up at night because you know here we have this platform we can get to see, like you said, we’re part of the Zoomocracy. Like we can do this, we can get this information out, but it doesn’t sink in. And what it does is, I worry that it even contributes more to this polarization because there are camps that get so emotional about the damage we’ve done from our response and camps that gets so emotional from The United States’ perceived failure relative to other countries in terms of mortality per million.
[Dr. Jay] I’m heartbroken at both. I mean, I think we in public health need to balance COVID is not the only threat to public health. We need to understand that there’s all kinds of public health problems.
[Dr. Z] So what do you think you would say The United States should do? And then I wanna talk about Sweden and Europe and Asia too, but what do you think the United States should do? So here’s the problem, all this disaster from our response and then the danger of the virus, which is worse for the elders and people with comorbidities. And it’s blessed than we thought initially. And we have a little better treatment now. So what do you think?
[Dr. Jay] If I had to characterize the American response. It’s exactly backwards.
[Dr. Z] Yes.
[Dr. Jay] We have quarantined the healthy and we’ve exposed the vulnerable to the disease.
[Dr. Z] That’s it and Monica said yesterday.
[Dr. Jay] Flip that around.
[Dr. Z] Monica said yesterday, we were exactly backwards as well. We’ve favored the rich people who can survive this, the Zoomocracy like you and I, and we’ve punished the poor. So we’ve actually told them, stay inside, lose your jobs, get $1,200 a month.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, or you go out and expose yourself, deliver the groceries to
[Dr. Z] Essential worker.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, I don’t understand it. I could understand three in a 100 deaths.
[Dr. Z] Different story
[Dr. Jay] You imagine it, but even there you’d wanna focus response and figure out who really is
[Dr. Z] In that 3%.
[Dr. Jay] Right, exactly and there may be people who are less vulnerable. You tailor your strategy around the numbers you’re seeing, but we haven’t done that yet. We’ve gone the opposite route since in many ways, I think New York is an absolute disaster, New York, I mean, the highest death rates in the world happened in the Northeast early map of the United States.
[Dr. Z] Yeah and multiple reasons for that probably that will become clear also more in retrospect and our retrospectoscope is is gonna be highly, highly indicting. I think of a lot of behavior that we had early on.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah, can we return to, you were asking me earlier about like the scientific discussion around this.
[Dr. Z] Yeah, I would love to,
[Dr. Jay] So I’ve been really concerned about censorship in science around this epidemic.
[Dr. Z] As have I.
[Dr. Jay] Yeah and so like you mentioned, John Ioannidis is one of the foremost physicians in the world, researchers in the world studying. I had the honor to be able to work with him. He did an interview early on in the epidemic that was suppressed by YouTube.
[Dr. Z] How do you suppress John Ioannidis?
[Dr. Jay] I don’t know, I don’t understand it. My view of science is that it’s a conversation. We have to have the ability to express views that are not popular or else we can’t have a science. We can’t have science.
[Dr. Z] I mean.
[Dr. Jay] So the idea is that somehow if somebody is expressing a view that is contrary to somebody’s interpretation of some public health organization, World Health Organization or whatever, it’s ipso facto dangerous to say those views, that is a form of population control. That’s what it is, right.
[Dr. Z] It really is, yeah.
[Dr. Jay] It’s fine if you know, with 100% scientific certainty, that some fact–
[Dr. Z] Is wrong.
[Dr. Jay] Yes.
[Dr. Z] Yeah, like vaccines cause autism, right?
[Dr. Jay] So what’s the your response. You say, look, the vaccines don’t cause autism, right? That’s the right response.
[Dr. Z] That’s right.
[Dr. Jay] And here’s the evidence.
[Dr. Z] That’s right.
[Dr. Jay] If you have a situation of a new virus where the science is emerging rapidly and we’re learning new things, I’ve changed my mind about 15 things about this virus as I’ve read new papers
[Dr. Z] Me too.
[Dr. Jay] over the course, how could you not?
[Dr. Z] Yeah but you know what, read the comments in my videos. You flip-flopped on this five times.
[Dr. Jay] Got me with this new evidence coming up right.
[Dr. Z] Yeah.
[Dr. Jay] So in that context, scientific censorship is criminal.
[Dr. Z] Yeah. I agree.
[Dr. Jay] And so I think, and

Thoughts of the day

December 1, 2020 Comments off

Getting old is not such a bad thing, actually is great! The best thing that can happen to a human being is grow old and grow learning new things.

Hi world, let your smile be your business card ❤️.

Good morning world!
Today, I wake up happy to be alive.
I have no regrets in life.
Everything I’ve lived, it has been a marvelous experience in every facet of my life.
I grew up happy, and I’m aging happily ever after 😁❤.

I have been blessed by the universe with terrific people who have made my life happier.
I thank life because it has been fair.

I’m happy to be a human rights activist. Inequality and people’s oppression are my motivation to keep fighting.

Even if I change one person’s perspective, it is well received because I believe in the universal Tenfold return.
I wish a happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers of the world.

Defiant and unrepentant

life is fair
nothing more, nothing less.

life is a game
play by the rules

life doesn’t forgive
enjoy today, tomorrow might not come

The Diva pacifist

I’m unrelenting pacifist
but I’m an oxymoron “fighter” for human rights
happinesses with smiles be my weapons
and soft  words be my strength

Walking on moving sands
Times moves faster these days,
“events” are piling on my screen
I pretend not to care anymore,
will it change the outcome?
by ten folds, it will hurt more

Pain description and prescription for pain

A pugnant arrow landed on your heart
but you smile and keep moving, sure to dodge the next one without getting angry. Softly move out of the way and throw a kiss to the air.

Peace Men
Is the name of this picture.
If it was for me, I will be in charge of Peace on Earth
Overseeing that everyone have his God giving right.

Father and Son
Father where have you gone? before you even left me, I was mourning your Death, Even without saying goodbye, sadness has filled my heart.
Your absence was in the air talking forgiveness into my soul, yelling in dark silence but nothing it got said.
I kept my lips seal, your kept your lips shut and my stubbornness won one more time.
The Darkness of the night took me for thorny roads, the beasts in my nightmare where eating me alive. I was running without breathing,  leaping giants stones, falling exhausted, feeling anxious and fearful, not wanting to stop and lose it all, I did not want to fill the dark hole of nothing.
I did not want to turn old hates into new ones and I left it to the time, and the time went thin and disappeared with your figure as the shadow did with the light.
All the voices yelling silence, like daggers drilling pain into me very deep where nothing can cure the sore wounds. I keep pouring salt to the opening of my heart trying to heal my pain, trying to numb it, to drown it with emptiness and oblivion, but did not cure, did not heal, only got worse.
Father where have you gone? I miss your advice, I miss your first hug.
your arms holding me before I fall down.
I miss your angry voice telling me NO! , I miss your soft tender love kissing me before I go sleep.
My first steps were trophies to your pride, and  laughter was my price.
Father where have you gone? We were once very close, lovely father embracing me when I born. when we were One, Only the Father and Son
Forever your memory  will stay imprinted in my mind, forever my heart will ache just to think that the blood that running throughout my veins was borrowed from your heart.
Father where ever you are, I send you my love. God almighty shine your journey and bless your soul. June 30, 2010

Good morning world!
Today I wake up happy to be alive.
I have no regrets in life.
Everything I’ve lived, it has been a marvelous experience in every facet of my life.
I grew up happy, and I’m aging happily ever after 😁❤.

Silly Red Poem

I got me some flowers to match my lip gloss,
but I was overlooking,a bigger match… I scored!

Admiring my flowers, I notice my face, I’m bursting
with warm, I Am Shy,I am blushing… I am red!..

Admiring and looking, a pound in my chest
He is knocking and saying,I am also Red!

Rose, Lips and heart are loving the color
The Red is fire, the red is passion….. and more

I finish my poem and rest with delight
admiring my Roses, and feeling my heart

****************************
Did I forgot to mention my shirt?….. NO!
my shirt is orange.  jajaja LoL


I have been blessed by the universe with terrific people, who have made my life happier.
I thanks life, because it has been fair.

I’m happy to be a human rights activist. Inequality and people’s oppression are my motivation to keep fighting.

Even if I change one person’s perspective, it is well received, because I believe in the universal Tenfold return.
I wish a happy mother’s day to all the mothers of the world.

The Mist

I feel myself as part of the air, the water, the mountain, the tree, the earth, the fire, and the mist.

The sensation of not being in a solid state but  ether—That is everywhere, like the Akash that surrounds us all, ‘from above so is bellow’.

This is a reflection of my essence, where I feel the sensation to be everywhere: touched, touching, admired, admiring, transparent and diluted with the abstract strokes of love and pain.

But there is also a feeling of being part of the ‘nowhere’, that place where you don’t see me, but you feel me like the air.

That ‘state of being’ where you can perceive me through my emotions, passions, deeds and pains.

I’m the mist of my conquered ideals, that subside with the morning warm, but ready to return fresh at dawn.

When I depart from my physical constraint. I’ll  leave without sorrows, no regrets, as my existence on earth was a gift.

The essence of my soul will travel free throughout eternity, the immensity of the cosmos dust would be my “ride”.

Then will travel to the cosmos from my earthbound space,
dissipating with white-black tones of middle gray.

Getting old is not hi 4

Happy International Women’s Day ❤️ To me and to all my beautiful sisters in facebook and also to all those women that have made a better world. To all the inventors, activists, scientists, photographers, journalists, all women that walk this earth giving love and giiving thelmselves to others. ❤️🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 Love ❤️ be with you an around you.

In my class of photography I did a set of portrays for my final grade. I took probably about 50 to 60 different self portrays and this is one of the three I choose.

I stand for peace and condemn the murders in Istanbul.
All these chain of events of violance are getting bloodiest as Israel gets bloodier and stronger with American tax payer money.
#BDS Israel #EndZionism #FreePalestine and free the world from this evil #Apartheid illegal entity of Israel.
RIP the victims and bring the culprits to justice.

The toll of time.
I fell tired and impatient to get there
But time seems to dismiss me
I’m but a particle floating in the emptiness
The vast emptiness of my time
Moving and static
Frozen with uncertainty
Hoping for better times
Waiting for a moment to say, I got it!
But as I aged, I realize that
Times is now!
Living, breathing is ticking my time
exhalting the morning
in awe for its beauty
I breath to the morning
I touch its freshness
And, time stops
for me, for a another moment of beauty
I though time was moving away
but I was wrong
times is inside me
time pauses on my intense moments
times accelerates only to spare me pain

The Earth is being bombarded by electromagnetic waves coming from many parts of the neighboring universes.
Part of these energies are clashing with the positives energies of healing plants, old wise trees, roaming wild animals, mountains, rivers, oceans, spiritual retreats, and by benevolent human beings.

The battle is being waged at all levels of human’s conciseness—Conflicts on earth are just one effect of these clashes.

The disruption of the optimal frequency vibration is affecting human cavities and its current blood system. All molecules vibrate at certain frequency and that allows them to keep the harmony of the element and stay in its place; Being human cells, water, rocks, plants etc.

The external forces that try to help earth for many eons are abandoning the human race. Alien life visits to earth now is now more sporadic.

Now humans find themselves fighting for the survival of their own species. The Gods have abandoned humans on earth and left them to their own devices.

Invention of technologies to change the cause and effect of vibrations is one of humans inventions. They have experimented with those devices for thousands of years.

The use of concave structures able to resonate vibrations that alter frequencies of the body and surrounding elements is an technology used for thousands of years in temples.

The manipulating of the frequency of sound and light is well studied by science.

Singing bowls and drums use-technique is being left to monks, pristine tribes and few enlighten people that discovered the technique to help them in their mediration.

But those frequencies are not strong enough to help restore the balance of earth.

Plants have been able to modify their molecular structure to create a
new stronger species that are resistant to the radiation emitted by the sun’s and other celestial bodies that continuously cross earth’s path and disrupt their natural circle of life.

The moon vibration balance had been disrupted as well which is causing great waves in the oceans and the raise of temperatures around the globe.

Earth as an organic form that is changing its owns vibration frequency to counteract the negative energies coming to it. More earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are being felt by this adjustment. The power of the elements are playing their role as they have done for eons of time.

The flow of rivers will again be restored once the artificial structures lose its purpose when ice caps release the waters to replenish earth’s natural flow systems.

Everything that seems out of place will fall back to play its role in nature.

Human conscience will be expanded but not without pain and sorrow.

One human’s consciousnesses is expanded, and it realizes that their existence on earth depends on their own survival as species, and realizes that this survival depends on the balance of all elements of sound, and light, then they can work together as one unit to restore balance.

But unfortunate most humans are driven by emotions such anger, hate, greed, grief, self pity and many other negative emotions that kill the human spirit and do not allow them to awaken their conscisness.

Free yourself and be you. Let your humanity surface. Let your love spread like light.

Nothing of this is new but just came to me today again, and I felt like writing it down.

I’m feeling the pain again, all the pain came today and gave me time to reflect on my own existence. On the type of frequency I’m giving to the world. What I reflect to the world through my activism and through my own personal experiences.

I hope that people who are around me be able to understand my feelings because those are the most affected by me, even though my frequency has no boundaries of time and space.

I miss you girl, send me good vibes.
smile ❤ 🙂

Peace be with you and around you

Dear COVID-19, the  lockdown–Love affairs with death.


Originally posted on April 21, 2020

I don’t love you as my friends and followers do. Unlike them, I’m not digging in Google and Facebook for the number of deaths being announced every minute.

I’m not interested in their love affair with death.
They love the rush of adrenalina, when the COVID-19’s meter reaches the maximum punch of the day.

They search day and night in Google, looking for the nurse, taxi driver, maid, plumber, doctor, neighbor, friend of a friend, the niece of their uncle’s ex-wife’s son in-law, who MSM said died from #COVID19.

Your lover’s opinions are as interesting as mine 
But my data analysis is more valuable than your followers’ opinions, in my opinion of course.

Not even in my wildest dream I imagined, that the coronavirus could destroy in 3 months the free thinkers’s path.

Not even all Adelson’s millions deterred us in the not too distance past.
Our resolve with the oppressed in Palestine was stronger than the mainstream media charged headlines.

Even the billions of dollars invested on war couldn’t stop our efforts, to at least try to stop it, ignoring all the govs and MSM’s spin.

But in a few months, the fear of death crept into the subconscious of your followers. They stopped their daily routine, and voluntarily went into a home exile.

They left the warm  conversation with their family and friends in the cafeteria, and exchanged it for a promised government stimulus check.

They switched their modus operandi from social issues and protests, to a energized- browsing of everything with #COVID19’s news.

Your lovers are so invested in your defense that happily  write on their walls, “X, Y, Z who didn’t believe in the coronavirus died today (happy face).”

With an insatiable zeal, they dedicate themselves to publish, what they most repudiated and branded as insolent and incredible: The mainstream news.

My friends, brothers, sisters, colleagues and some family as well, all become the voluntary non-compensated force that patrol Facebook for “dissenters.” “If you believe the #COVID19 is a hoax, please delete me or unfollow me, one of your lovers said to me.

Dear COVID-19, I don’t love you, as I told you before, and I stand my ground against you, and your army of fear-vaccinated-souls (less)
I would rather give advice for the flu. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze.

Take care of your elders. They are weak, fragile, and prone to diseases and falls. Fight the government mandate to isolation, which is a sentence to let them die alone

Rest in Peace, yellow vests, Hong Kong’s protesters, Amazon and water protectors, beggars, homeless, elderly, the poor, pensions, free expression, and friendships.

Fooling around vs being fooled


Originally published on July 11, 2020, as Facebook post

Updated Nov. 30, 2020

“It’s easier to fool people than convince them than they have been fooled,” Often attributed to Mark Twain.
No matter who said it, it is an absolute truth statement, even if there are no absolutes, someone might say. At the present times, 99 percent of the population has been fooled into believing many things that are not true, at least not scientifically backed by honest data (not paid science.)

On the contrary, there is science against the opposite. But nobody will say, yes, I was fooled, but I’m ok with it.

Most people rather live a comfortable lie than an uncomfortable truth.

The lockdown(s) were never about hospitals’s capacity. The lockdown was and still is according to official sources to stop the infection of SARS-CoV-2.

The “surge” in cases is simply due to people testing positive for the SARS-CoV-2, but this fact does not make them a COVID-19 case.

Have you asked yourself why so many people are testing positive for the virus? The reason is that more testing is being conducted all across the world.

Second question: Why do people who are or seem healthy test positive, and they don’t even know you have it?

According to the latest study published in the Lancet, most young people, especially in groups from 14 to 49, had gotten the virus with no symptoms a lot.
Children under that age do not get infected. In the study, one child got the virus. The exception.

The group that from 50 to 65, got the virus with mild condition, not required hospitalization. The only group that is at risk are people 65 and over, and that is because they have a coctail of diseases that render their immune system weak.

Now, if in the present lockdown essential workers are allowed to mingle outside their homes to work, if they “catch” the virus obviously they will bring it home, to a “close quarters,” where they can infect any other members of the family. Right?

The lockdown is ineffective and is a complete disaster. Because destroyed the economy of the world at large and further more is eroding the means of survival of the sensitive population-Those who are daily laborers, migrants, street vendors whose only survival is in the tourist industry.

So, why instead to mandate a lockdown in a 7.8 billion people, why the policy wasn’t to protect the population at risk to get infected and to develop COVID-19, the flu which is also a respiratory infection could have been taken as a studied example.

Not every household in the world has a member in the mentioned group – 65 and over- those who has them should have the responsibility to care for their elderly, meaning wearing masks when in public to avoid getting the virus and bring it home. Taking all measures of hygiene before being in contact with their elders.

We must take into consideration another group, the population that already suffers from conditions known to weaken their inmune system. The same measures should be taken.

By now, science has been widely established that assymtomatic people do not transmit the virus, simply because the means of transmission starts when the body starts protecting itself through its defense mechanism such fever, sneezing and coughing. If you have a fever, no body can’t get sick by touching the warm skin of the person. Righ? but if you sneeze or cough, then you can transmit the virus. The WHO has the data compiled by countries that followed the strict tracking of assymtomatic and their contacts. “The data shows no secondary infection from an assymtomatic person,” the WHO said in its June 8 briefing.

“Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO’s technical lead on the Covid-19 pandemic, made it very clear Tuesday that the actual rates of asymptomatic transmission aren’t yet known.”

Kerkhove made it very clear Tuesday that the actual rates of asymptomatic transmission aren’t yet known.

If an asymptomatic person could transmit the virus just by speaking, this means the virus is in the saliva, right? Then, the testing for the overall population should be a simple swap of saliva from the mouth. But, that is not the present case. The testing is required to dig down on your throat or nose, where the virus is being isolated by the normal defense mechanism of the body if any virus is present.

So, again, the hospitals entered the equation when people started to challenge masks and lockdowns and the changing of mask guidelines.

If all governments can allocate billions of dollars to their defense budget to buy the latest weaponry of war, why they couldn’t they switch that budget to fight this “almost microscopic enemy “?

Another important point to address is the medical personnel of the army forces. This goes for every country. All states (countries) have trained nurses and doctors. Why instead of use resources enforcing this crippling lockdown, why didn’t the armies of the world deploy their medical personnel to the government and private owned hospitals to help fight the enemy?

To end but not less important, it is known, scientifically proven that there isn’t a treatment to cure viruses still now 2020, the only doctor’s prescription is rest, lots of fluids and medicines to treat the symptoms; high temperature, congested cough, and upper respiratory system symptoms. Although those symptoms are the defense mechanism of the body to fight the pathogens, whichever they are, if they become severe, they need to lessen the discomfort.
Only when the person become to ill to treat him/her at home is that they go to the hospital to be under medical treatment. This has been a common practice by the majority of the population, especially rural places that don’t have medical facilities nearby.

So, in my personal informed opinion – after endless research and medical knowledge- I’m talking as a nurse and as a journalist, the lockdown(s) and curfews are the wrong public policy ever enforced in the population in time of relative peace, at least in most countries.

In more cases, the better. If you have followed the reports from all the world’s CDCs, you find that COVID-19 cases resulting in deaths are very small percentages. Until now, analyzing the latest data, the death ratio range between
0. 03 to 0.26 worse scenario, and this number is taking into consideration the data of the positive cases reported from assymtomatic persons who voluntarily gave their throat or nose samples.

So again, wear your mask if you have to, but don’t blindly advocate for a lockdown that doesn’t affect you at all. Stay home if you feel safe, but stop feeding endless unnecessary fear to the population not affected by the SARS-CoV-2.

Take care of your elders and inmuno depressed, but don’t try to curtail with your fearmongering-the ability of the 90 percent of the population who can safely work and need to work to survive.

The lockdown is a wrong policy. Remember this: 37- million people live with HIV and live normal lives with treatment.

The following video is it very interesting piece of information to watch, but not just watch it and forget about it. Research the topics explained in it.

While Pfizer pharmaceutical has made headlines on the release of their Coronavirus vaccine, a former Vice President and Chief Scientist of the company Dr. Michael Yeadon has said that there is no need for any vaccines to bring the COVID-19 pandemic to an end.

Yeadon probably will be smear by mainstream media. His message parts ways from the global official narrative, and the trillon dollars vaccine industry will be hurt if the message gets the attention of the people.

He is an expert in the field of inmunology and he has no financial gain from the outcome of this information. On the contrary, his reputation will suffer greatly thanks to mainstream media.

Life is worth living

If life is worth living; live, love and laugh.
If life is not worth living;
Count your mistakes and live in sorrow the rest of your life.

This afternoon I was tired of reading some many hateful comments in Facebook that I  wrote the above lines.

I’m pretty sure the message resonated in many of my Facebook friends. I want to believe that. I’m usually an optimistic person. I always see the beautiful side in humans. But I also understand that certain situations create mental chaos that makes people to write horrible things without thinking in the consequences.

A simple comment can enrage people, but also can create a bridge of communication that can develop into a dialogue of understanding.

Life isn’t complicated at all. We all have the same bare necessities: live, love, laugh, sing, dance, dream, play, give, and work toward your end goals. Simple as that ♥️

Worldwide protests did not kill millions


Something to reflect on!
According to Faucci, CDC, WHO, and every politician and world government head of state that pushed and maintained the #lockdown, because of the spreading of the #COVID19, it might actually be scare of what follows.
There are millions of ex-abiding-stay-home citizens protesting George Floyd public lynching. The protests are happening all around the world.

If COVID-19 is such a dangerous virus and warranted the lockdown and destruction of the world economy, then the whole world is infected, and according to “mainstream scientists’s narrative and advice,” millions would die if there wasn’t a lockdown and social distancing and masks.

I wonder, what will they come out with to excuse the past few months’ lockdown when millions won’t die because of the COVID-19 after these worldwide protests?

It’s going to be very interesting to see what is next.
Stay tuned.

Politicians are being courted by scientists


Many experts in the field of microbiology and pulmonary and infectious diseases are questioning the government’s approach to the COVI-19D pandemic.

Dr Wolfgang Wodarg is a German physician specialising in Pulmonology, politician, and former chairman of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.

Back in 2009, I called for an inquiry into alleged conflicts of interest surrounding the EU response to the Swine Flu pandemic.

“Politicians are being courted by scientists…scientists who want to be important to get money for their institutions. Scientists who just swim along in the mainstream and want their part of it […] And what is missing right now is a rational way of looking at things.

We should be asking questions like “How did you find out this virus was dangerous?”, “How was it before?”, “Didn’t we have the same thing last year?”, “Is it even something new?”

That’s missing.

Dr Sucharit Bhakdi demystifies the hype around the global hysteria of the COVID-19 pandemic.


Bhakdi, the former head of the Institute for Medical Microbiology and Hygiene, at Johannes Gutenburg University in Mainz, Germany, and one of the most cited researchers in the field of microbiology speaks about the coronavirus hype.

Bhakdi is the recipient of many awards in the field of microbiology and is an authority in the field.

In his opinion, the governments lockdown are shortening the life of million of people specially elderly people, who need to go to the theater, dance, walk at the park, in other words they need entertainment and peace of mind to live longer.

He does not dismiss the potential risk of the COVID-19, but at the same time he stressed that “elderly and people with underlying lung and heart condition are more susceptible, and not the rest of the population.

The misinformation put out there, with the number of deaths in countries most affected, is creating an unnecessary fear.

China and Italy he said, two countries with high volumes of pollution, which fact is not taken in consideration to rule the cause of death—People that live in polluted areas already have susceptible lungs and compromised upper respiratory system.

Saying that the cause of death is only due to COVID-19 is false and the numbers misleading.

The elderly are more affected, but they are at risk with any type of coronavirus.

The horrifying impact in the world economy threatened the existence of countless people, he said. “

“These extreme measures [lockdown and self quarantine] are leading to self-destruction and collective suicide because of nothing but a spook,” he said

According to the American Psychology Association, stress lowers your natural defenses, “when we’re stressed, the immune system’s ability to fight off antigens is reduced.”

Stay calm and cover your mouth when you cough and sneeze. These measures should be normally followed when affected by any type of viral or bacterial infection, such as flu or influenza.

Explosive information about #COVI19.



Published on Jun 16, 2020

Exclusive information. Multiple highly regarded scientists who have studied C0R0NAVlRUS say that the VlRUS has been manipulated in labs to better attach to human cells. Turns out, research on that very thing was conducted here in the United States until the research was banned in 2013. In 2014, the research appears to have resumed through funding to several labs in China through payments to Eco Healt.

JudyMikovits has been saying the same. She also said, that for a virus to naturally evolve to the current SARS-CoV-2, it would take 800 years. She has been censored by the YouTube, Google and Facebook.

The selective virus


Thanks to Louisa Livingstone, she allowed me to share her text but not the name for obvious reasons.

I’m ready to fight this tooth and nail. I’m so tired of parents putting their fear onto the kids. The kids are only scared because of the parents.

Let me put this into perspective for you… I’m a police officer in London, we have briefing in a room with 30 other officers, we share a locker room (Male and female), we all walk around the same base swapping over from team to team at handover so sometimes you can mix with 60+ people when shift change over happens not to mention sharing the same vehicles, the same radio batteries, the same doors, computers etc. We then do it all again at the end of our shifts, so again, mixing with a further 30+ people sharing everything, etc.

Plus, then you have the extra officers who have been drafted in from their regular duties to help out and who you don’t mix with on a usual shift, etc. Not to mention the people we have to deal with on the streets and the other officers we meet out and about. And when we are taken for aid (duties up town in London) we then share a carrier with sometimes 10 other officers who you don’t normally work with, or have never worked with and could be from another borough.

BUT… only 2 people have had it (confirmed). Surely the police service should have come down with COVID19 now? We got given no PPE except gloves and hand sanitizer (with no alcohol – we had to provide alcohol gel), and then eventually we got given masks if we wanted them.

I ended up walking through the COVID A&E department with no mask because we were searching for a high-risk missing person!

And one final thing. I have asthma… and the inhalers I’m on make me “high risk”. I’ve been working throughout. Not once have I shielded. I mean I’m pretty sure I had it in December, but I can’t prove that.

So why has this virus not attacked me? Are the police completely immune? Does our job make us immune? If the police can still work with no changes throughout the pandemic, then surely the teachers can? Surely kids can go back to school with no changes?”

Dr Scott Atlas


Dr. Scott Atlas is the Robert Wesson Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, an accomplished physician, and a scholar of public health. For several weeks, Dr. Atlas has been making the case in print and in other media that we as a society have overreacted in imposing draconian restrictions on movement, gatherings, schools, sports, and other activities.

He is not a COVID-19 denier—he believes the virus is a real threat and should be managed as such. But, as Dr. Atlas argues, there are some age groups and activities that are subject to very low risk. The one-size-fits-all approach we are currently using is overly authoritarian, inefficient, and not based in science.

Dr. Atlas’s prescription includes more protection for people in nursing homes, two weeks of strict self-isolation for those with mild symptoms, and most importantly, the opening of all K–12 schools. The latter recommendation is vital for restarting and maintaining the economy so that parents are not housebound trying to work and educate their children. Dr. Atlas is also adamant that an economic shutdown, and all of the attendant issues that go along with it, is a terrible solution—the cure is worse than the disease. Finally, Dr. Atlas reveals some steps he’s taken in his own life to try to get things back to normal.

The misconception of GMO is that solve the hunger problem


By Marivel Guzman

Published on Mar 11, 2018

Truth to be told is that hunger is same as it was in 1986, said Zack Bush.

According to USDA’s Economic Research Service 30 to 40 percent of the food in US is wasted. That amounts to more than 20 pounds of food per person wasted each month.

An estimated 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted globally each year, one third of all food produced for human consumption

according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.
According to UNICEF 15,000 children under 5 die every day due to starvation and malnourishment.
“Zach Bush, MD is a triple board certified physician specializing in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology and Metabolism, as well as in Hospice and Palliative care. The director of M Clinic in Virginia, Dr. Bush has published peer-reviewed articles and book chapters in the areas of infectious disease, endocrinology, and cancer. This is a mind-blowing conversation that explores new insights into the mechanisms behind human health and longevity. It’s about the massive and misunderstood impact of industrial farming, chemical pesticides, the pharmaceutical industry and even errant Western medical practices have on both human and planetary health. It’s a conversation about the difference between the science of disease and the science of health. It’s about the microbiome as a critical predictor of and protector against illness. And it’s an exploration of autism, epigenetics and the mechanics of intercellular communication.. Enjoy! ✌🏼🌱” – Rich
