“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.” This famous quote from George Orwell's novel 1984 means that the freedom to speak the truth, even on a simple matter like "2+2=4", is the foundation for all other freedoms. In the novel's totalitarian society, the government controls reality itself, and the ability to assert a basic, objective fact without fear is presented as the most fundamental form of rebellion and freedom. If a regime can force its citizens to accept false claims, then all other forms of truth and liberty become meaningless.  •Origin: The line is spoken by the protagonist, Winston Smith, in 1984. •Meaning: The quote highlights the importance of objective truth and the danger of a system that denies it. •Context: In Orwell's world, the ruling Party insists that "2+2=5" is the truth. The ability for someone to disagree with this is what Winston considers the last shred of freedom. •Significance: It suggests that if a government can control people's perception of even the most basic facts, it can control everything else, and personal freedom is lost.

An excellent description of absolute vs relative risk. Relatively risk reduction is the favoured game of big Pharma, especially with vaccines. substack.com/@mole/note/c-33…

This is our healthcare system in a nutshell. They are a censorious lot these people. They march to the same drummer in many nations. A few more adjectives include ignorant, untruthful, ruinous, obfuscating… And let’s not forget vindictive. How many good doctors have had their careers, livelihoods, hobbies, and personal lives ruined by this evil cartel of thought monopolies? Here’s one. Dr. David Cartland of the UK (and I’ll refer to him as doctor even though the evil healthcare system has stripped him of that title and banished him from practice and the police have told him not to refer to himself as a doctor). But they went far, far beyond that. They have ruined his life. His fatal mistake? Speaking out on behalf of the vaccine injured and the evidence that the COVID jab can cause harm. The healthcare system and their trolls have reaped upon him the vindictiveness that few can imagine. Accusations of being a racist. Of being a danger to children. AI pictures of him in compromising situations, enabled by paying off a Thailand massage parlour to post thousands of times. Hit pieces by trolls, gay groups, YouTube videos slurring him. All without a scrap of evidence. All for speaking out against the jab. All to make an example of him. They have ruined his life. There’s even a group petitioning the university(s) to rescind his degrees. They won’t let him referee youth soccer matches - in fact he is forced to sit with other parents and remain quiet. Yes, this is the healthcare system that people trust to look after them. A completely misguided trust in my opinion. This is the same system that operates in Canada and the United States. Dr. Charles Hoffe in Canada. Dr. Mary Talley Bowden in the United States. And many, many others. They attack their own doctors. They at least ignore their own victims and indeed attack those victims. The vaccine injured are ridiculed and labelled as anti-vaxxers. How on earth can someone who has followed the advice of this evil institution and faithfully gotten vaccinated possibly be labelled as anti-vaxxers? It’s time to dismantle this monopolistic, dysfunctional, and costly Rockefellerian institution and replace it with a network of independent practitioners that can be regulated but can practice their craft honestly and without fear of unmitigated reprisal for speaking or sharing the truth. Sadly, speaking the truth or sharing a professional opinion is not for the faint of heart. Check this out: jacquideevoy.substack.com/p/…

Approximately 21.8% of the Canadian workforce is employed in the public sector. Recent growth: Public sector employment has risen steadily over recent years, up from about 19.7% in 2015. Government hiring has outpaced the private sector. Canada's federal public service has grown by roughly 35% to 43% over the last decade, adding over 90,000 to 110,000 employees since 2015.. The federal workforce grew from roughly 257,000 in 2015 to around 345,000 to 368,055 in recent years. Pace of Growth: Federal employment growth has significantly outpaced general population growth and private sector job growth over the same ten-year window. The federal payroll is projected to reach $76.3 billion. Then add provincial and municipal payrolls to that. The average total compensation package per full-time equivalent employee is projected to exceed $172,000 when factoring in salaries, pensions, and benefits.

So. Where’s the North Pole these days?

Just another day in our illustrious healthcare system…

Sigh. Why don't they just come up with a 'vaccine for everything' and get it over with. You have to know it's coming....

Welcome to Canada.

We're not going to make it, are we?

My electricity bill has increased 100% since January 2021. I'm sure glad I don't own an electric vehicle.

Following the forced injections, Canadian babies died, and the police are trying to cover it up, to the point of persecuting the one police detective Helen Grus who sought to investigate the infant deaths. Please join the effort GrusJusticeProject.org

Royal Commission final COVID report DELIVERED today — Government will release it publicly on March 10. Will it finally acknowledge the real harms from vaccines, mandates and denied exemptions? Or more of the same? In her live testimony, Lynda Wharton told them: "114 out of 125 exemption applications were DENIED for those who experienced life-threatening anaphylaxis after dose 1." Mandated Kiwis with proven serious injuries or conditions — like myocarditis, cardiac issues or PEG allergies (Pfizer's OWN data said DON'T take it) — were forced to choose: risk death or lose their jobs, careers and livelihoods. This isn't conspiracy. This is official Ministry data from OIA HNZ00028251, revealed in Lynda's live testimony to the New Zealand's Royal Commission of Inquiry into COVID-19. Watch her full half hour video on YouTube - know exactly what the inquiry heard.

I'm working with Grok to build a dietary tool. I gave it the rules. I want a diet that creates vitality. That meets all the needs of a human from the cellular level to organ health, brain health, vision health, lungs, skin. We first broke down all of the nutrients required for a person to thrive. Then we mapped those nutrients to foods that we can build a healthy diet from in order to thrive. I gave Grok the rule that anti-nutrients were a negative so that any foods that reduced absorption of the required nutrients to thrive would score lower. Bottom line, the diet must be one that meets ALL nutritional requirements in order to thrive. I didn't steer Grok towards any category of diet or any specific foods or food groups. We didn't take into account the probability of toxins in the foods from farming practices. I only gave him the objective described above. We've been working on this for a couple of evenings now. Grok selected foods that met my criteria without further guidance. We have filtered the foods to a "Thrive Score" of Excellent. Here is that list. Notice anything? (We still have more work to do yet. There are some duplicates). Beef Liver (or other ruminant liver) Egg Yolks (pasture-raised) Wild Salmon / Sardines (or other fatty cold-water fish) Bone Broth (long-simmered, grass-fed) Avocado Blueberries / Wild Berries (in season) Beef Heart Lamb or Beef Kidney Beef Liver (grass-fed) Egg Yolks (pasture-raised) Wild Sardines (in water/olive oil) Bone Marrow (roasted) Oysters (wild/pacific) Lamb Kidney Beef Bone Broth (homemade, 24+ hr) Butter / Ghee (grass-fed) Fermented Sauerkraut (homemade/raw) Beef Tallow / Lard (pasture-raised) Chicken Liver (pasture-raised) Beef Suet / Marrow Bones Raw milk was deemed excellent with the caveat "if tolerated" Grok's comment: "I appreciate you calling it out: the foundation foods do lean heavily animal-forward (nose-to-tail, organs, seafood, eggs, dairy if tolerated, stable animal fats). That wasn't forced; it emerged naturally when we filtered for: "Highest nutrient density per gram Best bioavailability (heme iron, retinol, B12, long-chain omega-3s, taurine, carnitine, CoQ10, choline clusters) Lowest interference (minimal oxalates, phytates, lectins, goitrogens, PUFA oxidation risk) "…which just happens to describe most high-quality animal foods, especially when prioritizing organs, marrow, broth, and fatty fish. Plants snuck in only where they punch above their weight with low drawbacks (avocado for potassium + monounsats, berries for C + anthocyanins, low-oxalate greens/herbs, fermented veg for probiotics/minerals)."

Placebo-controlled studies have shown the duration and severity of the common cold are significantly reduced when people are given a placebo pill they believe is a medicine designed to treat the cold.

Wise words.
