The image above appeared in my inbox this morning. I have no idea how these clowns got my name, but I thought it so appropriate that they choose me out of a crowd, as I was known, when employed by others, have have bad attitudes and to engage in negative behaviors. So I must be on a list somewhere. I have never contacted these people.
This post has nothing to do with that. I just like that image. Look at the happy skipping people next to the curmudgeon who wants to shoot them. I’m with curmud.
This post is about a man named Dr. J Anthony Morris (1919-2014) who ought to be somebody’s hero. I remember the US Marine toast from the movie Gardens of Stone … at any event one of them might stand and toast “Here’s to men who are men like us!” and all other marines in the room would stand and raise their glasses and yell out “Damn few left!”
Dr. J Anthony Morris, we could use a few more like you. I raise my glass.
You have to live through this stuff to appreciate how ridiculous we are as a country. First was the fact that Lesley King, supposedly an orphan who changed his name to Gerald R. Ford, was president. He was a klutz who could not inspire a dishwasher to dry a plate, but was put in that office in this sequence:
- Richard Nixon was elected president in 1968.
- He chose as Vice President Spiro T. Agnew. Agnew was an uninspiring pseudo-intellect given the job of directing fire away from Nixon by attacking the mainstream press. He once called them (and I cannot make up this stuff) “nattering nabobs of negativism.”
- Nixon was being cornered, Watergate was circling him. It was understood that he would have to resign.
- Agnew was “caught” in a scandal having to to with bribery, kind of like ordinary fare. Any politician can be taken down at any time, a matter of convenient choice that keeps them in line while in office. This was done because he was not going to be allowed to be president.
- Since the office of Vice President was unoccupied, under the 25th Amendment, Nixon was allowed to appoint the successor, and chose Nelson Rockefeller.
- Hearings were held, and Rocky just didn’t cut it somehow. I don’t know why.
- As a fallback, Nixon chose Ford.
- Nixon resigned, Ford became president, saying “Our long national nightmare is finally over.”
As was once famously said about George H.W. Bush, that he could not organize a two-car funeral, Ford was famously clunky, hitting people with errant golf balls, getting fake-shot at by a fake Manson follower, managing a manufactured crisis involving a vessel supposedly seized by the Khmer Rouge, the “Mayaguez Incident.” I doubt it happened but if it did, the Khmer Rouge were probably acting on orders from Langley.
Nothing worked for this poor schmuck. His heroic stripes just could not be conjured up. He had no fake PT boat, no books ghostwritten … his backstory was not done up as they do now, maybe because he wasn’t part of the plan after Rocky crashed. He was an audible.
Then someone came up with the idea of a national epidemic of swine flu. This was 1976.
The idea behind the epidemic was to sell vaccines, and Congress did indeed appropriate $135 million to inject everyone in the country. The problem was in part that the vaccine, originally meant for pigs, killed them. Pig farmers were scared off. Since they could not use it on pigs, they thought it a better idea to try it on sheep … the American people. Everyone was supposed to line up for a poke, as the “Center for Disease Control,” a little-known government agency in Atlanta, enlisted Ford, and the two of them, the agency and the president, urged us all to get “vaxxed,”, as Bill Gates, another classic klutz, now calls it.
There was a problem … there had never been a case of Swine Flu reported in the US. Nonetheless, they went ahead with the program, and people lined up, and quite of few of them became paralyzed and sued … who? PhRMA these days is immune from lawsuits due to vaccines, but in those days, I am not sure, although taxpayers surely footed the bill. Somehow, without looking it up, I just know that.
Enter Dr. J Anthony Morris, Chief Vaccine Control Officer at the FDA, who publicly stated
“There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza. The producers of these vaccines know that they are worthless, but they go on selling them, anyway.”
That really happened. Morris went on the Phil Donahue show to publicly condemn the vaccination hoax. Control of the news media, in those days, was not as complete as it is now … there was an opening here and there.
Morris was promptly fired for telling the truth. But it was too late, the hoax had failed and the vaccines were put on the shelf. I wonder now if they are going to be used by President Gates for the Covid-9 hoax. These days they are much better at selling it, and have frightened sheep wearing masks all over the place.
We have tickets to go to Italy in September. We really like that place, and once there, who knows, maybe we won’t come back. I know full well that they are going force us to be injected to get on a plane, and that we are in far more danger from any hastily contrived and worthless vaccine than any imagined virus circulating. But that little known agency, the CDC, has put a lot more thought and effort into our 2020 hoax than the one in 1976. So powerful have they become that there is no media outlet that can stand up to them, and no country that cannot be forced to comply.
As mentioned before, if you take this current fear campaign and remove “virus” and “pandemic,” what you are left with is “police state,” and the clown and klutz, the imagined genius who cannot tie his shoes without help, Bill Gates, to run it.
Dr. J Anthony Morris, Phil Donahue (still alive), here’s to men who are men like you.
Damn few left!

Good day from a fellow curmudgeon, sir!
And now to the curmudgeonliness … the mantra of every math teacher—Show your work.
The MMC has a bad habit that we should not adopt. It is the penchant for simply declaring an event “fake” or “hoaxed,” or just asserting people are “actors” and “Phoenies,” or deciding them to be asexual or gay. No real effort is made to marshal the evidence for these claims. They are get dumped in a pile together to whip up a confection of perfect paranoia. Plant a few unexplained “red flags” and place anyone and anything under suspicion that you chose. No effort to “show the work” of coming to these conclusions.
“I doubt it happened, but if it did …” One’s doubts or hunches are not the stuff of a compelling argument. Better to show one’s work …
I am no fan of Gerald Ford—quite the opposite! But for our younger readers, your account omits a lot of information in the course of painting a certain picture of the man. He was, after all, an accomplished legislator with a long record of bipartisanship. You may not like his politics (I don’t now and didn’t then), but he was in fact a masterful politician. Nixon and the GOP tapped Ford for the Vice-Presidency when it became apparent in their inner circles that Nixon was through. As a moderate with broad appeal and an affable personality, Ford was seen as a person who could keep the country more or less together through the coming crisis of political faith.
You depict him as a bumbler on the order of Dubya. Dirty pool, mon ami. The media sensationalized a few of his mishaps, and Chevy Chase got a lot of yuks with his SNL impersonation. But clumsy or not, Ford was no idiot. Unsavory, maybe. Conniving, perhaps. Dissembling, certainly. But not the unlikely leader that you depict him to be. Again, I am not defending him. This is really more of an appeal for greater rigor in the arguments we present here.
Was the Swine Flu a hoax? Maybe. But it takes more than just labeling it as such. Show your work, please.

There was never a reported case of Swine Flu in the US. The Chief Vaccine Control Officer at the FDA said the vaccine would not work, and those selling it knew that, so I think I can stop there.
The “Mayaguez Incident” is something I had completely forgotten about … until I remembered the 1976 Swine Flu hoax. It doesn’t read well. The “Khmer Rouge” were being glorified as mass killers all over the media, and a movie was made in 1984, ergo the Zal Rule. This was during an era when we were suffering a thing called the “Vietnam Syndrome,” that is, it was difficult to gin up a war and gain public support. During Ford’s era, Americans had been cast in a bad light for a reported massacre of over three million (3.3 million?) in SE Asia. A standard practice in dealing with such a bad image would be to create someone with an even worse image, so that at least we could say we fought the war against enemies more evil than us. Ergo, “Khmer Rouge” and killing fields.
The Khmer Rouge did something that no sane leaders of any country would do – attempted suicide. It is as if they were so crazy, like supposed Muslim hijackers, as to want to fire a merely symbolic and pointless shot at the most powerful country on the planet, giving it cause to go to war, to annihilate them. But there was no war in response to the vessel hijacking, even as it had a Gulf of Tonkin flavor about it. Either Ford could not sell it, or it was merely an event conjured up to enhance his otherwise bland image.
I am aware that the Ford Administration gets high marks for legislation passed in the era, a time when Vietnam had poisoned so many minds. A lot of stuff slipped through. I am aware that Ford suffered a bad image, and that the image of the president is tightly controlled by the people around him, so it was no accident or he was a klutz surrounded by klutzes. But I do not credit the man in high office with anything other than acting, and this guy was not a good actor, not a good salesman, and was removed from teh spotlight in 1976.
I know you are buying in to the Covid-7 affair, and I bring 1976 to mind to remind you that there was indeed a massive vaccination hoax back then. Television was not as good at selling it then as now, and I am in awe that people are walking around in masks and accepting that the economy has been shut down and that we can be quarantined and ordered to stay at home based on nothing more than fear spread about by the nattering nabobs of new nightmares, the dazzling handsome and pretty teleprompter readers of our age.

First, let us acknowledge with gratitude that POM is not the reach-around party that CTTF is. We can disagree with one another over here, and do so without being (too) disagreeable.
You say that I am “buying into” the COVID-19 affair. That is an inequitable take on my more nuanced position. I readily concur that there is a massive propaganda campaign going on, with deceit and exaggeration and sensationalism. I don’t necessarily believe the numbers being reported, but I cannot say whether they are too high or too low. I fully expect this event to result in forced vaccinations and more openly authoritarian policies here.
But this is all separate from the question: Is there a new viral disease out there? As of today, I know personally seven people who have been diagnosed with this sickness, two of them hospitalized and in critical condition. I know personally healthcare workers who attest to crowding issues in our nearby hospitals. This is evidence to me. You are asking me to ignore direct evidence in favor of your broad-brush claims about fakery and hoaxers. You are asking me to impugn the honesty of people I know well and have never had any reason to doubt before.
I know that you have a retort to each of these claims:
They just have the regular flu.
The test is a fake with lots of false positives.
The doctors are over-treating them.
The doctors/nurses/EMTs are subject to group-think.
Even so, you can’t decide for more than two days in a row whether viruses or viral diseases exist or not, so it is hard to weigh your position against the evidence that is directly in front of me. If I have to choose between the untrained opinion of armchair pundits or the informed judgment of medical professionals that I have reason to trust, I gotta go with the people in the know.
Yes, you can dig up dissidents on every scientific subject. A few will even try to sell you on the notion that pi=4. Some of the dissidents are right and some of them are loons. I am not trained enough to sort out the truth on every one of these subjects. I only know that it is very, very easy to conjure up tales of conspiracies with partial presentations of the facts. That is the calling card of the MMC, and I hope we can strive for a higher standard here.

Maarten … I have a relative who would end this debate by simply saying “I disagree.” That drives me buggy. I cannot speak to the people you know who are sick. I don’t know anyone who is. Our local clinic, when I visited last (just before the shut-down – I got a haircut on the way) – was deserted. They have since closed their doors.
I’ll add that the the PCR, and the inventor Mullis’ words from above,
The technique used by the PCR has not been improved upon since its invention. It still cannot detect a virus, only a protein sequence thought to be associated with a virus. As Fauxlex pointed out, the sequence being detected and said to be Covid-19 exists in all of us. That lends support to my suspicion that the numbers we see are being orchestrated.
From the beginning I’ve been reading that the test is so overloaded with false positives as to be useless, over 80% in symptomatic people, and a mere coin flip in those with symptoms. It cannot be said with certainty based on the Mullis PCR that they are suffering from Covid-19, the electron microscope photograph of which is really nothing more than an exosome, more fraud.
So I cannot deny your statement sick friends and relatives, but I see nothing anywhere else that supports it. Keep in mind that I do not watch news. It gives me hives.

On the contrary, Mark. You may freely impugn my integrity. You can call me a liar. You can call them the seven sick people I know liars. No skin off my nose, and they have bigger problems to worry about.
Just know this: if you call me a liar, you do so on the basis of no evidence whatsoever. You would come to that conclusion as a matter of faith, not of fact.
Some say there is no COVID-19 disease. So I cite my personal experience as counter-evidence. If entering facts into evidence is deemed an Old Political Trick, then we have immunized ourselves against ever changing our minds.
Just so we are clear: the kind of conspiracy you theorize must involve tens of thousands of professional people falsifying medical assessments in order to fit a profile, pretending to see an illness that isn’t there, pretending to see the specific symptoms of acute respiratory distress where there are none. Seeing active, intentional deceit in most (yes, not “all”) the healthcare professionals in the country … that’s paranoia.
I have yet to mention perhaps the most inconvenient fact for your conspiracy theory. I know someone else who is sick and went for assessment. He was told it was NOT COVID-19, but just a regular kind of respiratory illness. So the idea that every sick person gets the Coronavirus label is not correct, either.

I do not impugn your integrity as I have known you long enough to know it is intact. So I let it stand, you know seven sick people infected by Coronavirus. Others in this very thread, including me, have offered their own trace evidence that they know none infected. That is all anecdotal.
And again you bring in the tens of thousands … I’ve brought you the PCR and its inventor, who say it cannot detect a virus. I brought you evidence of Dr. Tim O’Shea, FB, who undertook to personally run down the first 60 cases reported by Santa Clara County, finding that the county had done no testing, and then surveying randomly 50 pulmonologists and clinics in the Bay Area, finding none were equipped and had submitted nothing to the County, and referring him back to the county. I’ve cited men of letters who say it is a hoax, I’ve given an example of a similar event in 1976 that was stopped its tracks by one brave physician and public official. We have flooded this site with our evidence, as has AB, who just today gave us Dr. Stefan Lanka, the virologist who won his measles case before the German high court. Lanka says there are viruses, he discovered one in sea water, but not pathogenic ones.
And more, to no avail, as you say you got your seven (though you cannot establish scientifically what they are suffering from, as there is no reliable test), and something we’ve heard repeatedly here over time, that conspiracies fall apart because too many people would have to be involved.. Fauxless addressed that matter a while back.

Honestly, the three of us are a pretty good spectrum of belief on this thing. Maarten believing that the virus is more or less what we have been told (though possibly gov’t engineered), and conceding a massive propaganda campaign does exist. Myself believing that the recent sickness blitz is just a cover for something, and that it is hundreds or thousands of times less fatal than even the lowest media projections. Mark believing that there really is not even a virus circulating right now. Let’s enjoy the range of perspectives here. I know I do.
Maarten, did your 7 actually show a positive test result? Again, not claiming PCR can estimate viral load and assuming it was one of the non-faulty test kits. Sigma-Aldrich’s seemed good! But yeah, did your 7 folks all show a positive result or do they just have a respiratory illness assumed to be coronavirus?

I am leery of saying too much about medical information … HIPAA laws and all … but what I know is that the two in the hospital tested positive.

I have no knowledge of which test kits were used.
I do think there is a possibility that this bug is a bioweapon, either natural or engineered. I would construe the massive propaganda campaign as an attempt to mask this in order to forestall a general panic of apocalyptic proportions. There are some interesting things to discuss in this light. But they are moot if viral diseases do not exist.

We’re at opposite ends of the spectrum here in that I believe the fatality rates have been enormously exaggerated.

A few thousands of deaths with hundreds of millions of infections, and we’re just talking about a common cold virus here. Certainly no justification to shut down society. There is no way this media campaign could be designed to REDUCE or forestall a panic.

Tell me more about Sigma-Aldrich’s, because as I understand it, the Mullin technology rests upon logarithmic doubling of a DNA string out more than forty times. It is looking for not a virus, but a protein. I’ve not heard where the PCR has been improved upon, since ad a technology it was designed to do one thing, and it does it well. But it was not designed to find viruses, and cannot assuredly tell us what has been found other than a protein string thought to be associated with a virus. Not the virus.
They wanted to hoax people about HIV and used the PCR, and Mullis was trampled to death, screaming that the test doesn’t work that way. It is just as with Richard Albin, who discovered the protein specific antigen (PSA) was overrun even as he screamed at the top of his lungs that the PSA cannot detect cancers and should not be used that way. He collided with big medicine, and was crushed. The state of medical science is unhealthy, to say the least, overrun by profiteers and charlatans, with a corrupt FDA behind it all, long taken down by regulatory capture.
LikeLike
The reference to Sigma-Aldrich was in that their PCR primer sequences (the things that get doubled) were significantly longer than the WHO sequences. Longer PCR primer means more unique. Think lottery…the more numbers you need to match, the longer the odds. The shorter WHO test protocol sequence was only 18 characters and as you know I found a perfect 18 character match in human DNA. I am still in shock I actually found that and I wish we could get that to a wider audience. Anyway, private company test kits were using longer primer sequences and this would lead to a much better reliability that the PCR process detecting a positive could only be explained by SARS-CoV-2, since the 24 character sequences are what got doubled. My guess is that the WHO went with the bare minimum and a sequence found in human DNA to boost their numbers…wherever they tested, they would be bound to find huge numbers of positives. The more quality kits by private companies should actually be more accurate…longer primers, more careful process. Sure it can’t detect the viral load, but it should only detect something if it’s there.

Maarten, I respect and share your mistrust of scientific and medical no-nothings who make broad pronouncements on the subject of disease. I believe you about the people you know who are sick and the health care workers you know who are swamped. But I also know, from personal experience backed by my own reading, that doctors do and think pretty much whatever the pharmaceutical industry tells them to do and think. I also know that a doctor’s “suspicion” of COVID-19 is all that’s required for an official diagnosis. To accept your argument, I would have to trust the authority and integrity of doctors. I don’t.
It occurs to me, though, that curmudgeons like us aren’t really the target audience for this, or any, agitprop. As long as traumatized young people are led to think of government agencies and international corporations as parental figures who care deeply about their health and well-being and will protect them… well, who cares what old farts like us think?
With that in mind, there’s one huge difference between 1976 and 2020. Young people (along with the rest of us) have a much more active, ritualized subservience to big corporations and big pharma. When I went back to school a few years ago, I was amazed at how many of my 20something classmates took meds for “mood disorders.” If the wise parental figures they see on their laptops and phones tell them a vaccination will solve the problem they’re so anxious about, they’re more inclined to believe today than they were back then. Hell, even if we had a Phil Donahue, and even if he did an interview with someone like Dr. Morris, I don’t think it would dissuade a fraction as many people now from accepting forced vaccinations as it did in the 1970s.

My scrutiny is scrutiny all the same, even if it is not a critique of scientific or historical conclusions. It is scrutiny…get over yourself. Nothing has been turned around on me.

Taken to the extreme, the former method is not even capable of reaching any conclusion whatsoever, because we never have all the data, or perfect maps of the terrain.

I just retrieved this quote from Dr. Kary Mullis, inventor of the PCR test. I am posting it here so I do not lose it again. He was decrying its use at the time of the quote in ID’ing people as HIV Positive. To his death last August he complained that there is no scientific paper ever written that isolated or purified HIV, or even proved that it caused AIDS.
“Quantitative PCR is an oxymoron. PCR is intended to identify substances qualitatively, but by its very nature is unsuited for estimating numbers. Although there is a common misimpression that the viral-load tests actually count the number of viruses in the blood, these tests cannot detect free, infectious viruses at all; they can only detect proteins that are believed, in some cases wrongly, to be unique to HIV.

I have sat through all interviews available on Dr. Mullis, and am reading his book. I find him delightful. His point was quite succinct: He was working for a company and writing a paper, the first line of which was “AIDS is caused by the HIV virus.” Since it was a scientific paper, he needed a scientific source, a paper that had been written establishing that AIDS and HIV were connected. He could find no such work in the scientific literature. He even approached Montagnier personally at a social gathering witnessed by other scientists. Montagnier had no answer for him.
Your comment was a low blow to the late Mullis, and a form of argumentation intended to move your side forward by smearing a man.

VAERS, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, was created in 1990. It was established due to a bill passed in Congress before that time removing accountability from drug manufacturers for liability for deaths, injuries, illnesses (like autism) caused by vaccines. I do not know the date and time of that bill, just that it happened before VAERS.
VAERS is not accountable. It is a completely voluntary system. Money was authorized to fix the VAERS system, so that 100% of adverse events would be reported, but CDC shut down that project, not wanting any accountability. If real motives were ever apparent, worn on their sleeves, it was then, a chance at transparency, shut down. I think the study was done at Harvard Pilgrim Medical … they set up a whole system where everything would be reported, and said that CDC went dark on them, refusing to return phone calls, just like a girl breaking up with a guy she was tired of but afraid to come out and say it.
It is deep, deep corruption and tyranny, part of our medical fascist system. No other way to say it.

Thanks for mentioning VAERS, although I already knew of the program and the circumstances surrounding it. Nonetheless, it is true that vaccine manufacturers could be sued for damages prior to the creation of the NCVIA law and the VAERS program in 1986 and in 1990. Here are some examples:
https://law.justia.com/cases/california/court-of-appeal/2d/182/602.html
https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp/573/1324/2309150/
There were many more lawsuits which the vaccine manufacturers had to pay out of pocket prior to 1986. In the process, many of them either left the business or went bankrupt. The scandal surrounding DTP vaccines in the early-’80s is one good example of this. That’s why they lobbied Congress to offer them protection from future lawsuits relating to vaccine-induced injuries, illnesses, or death. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have to if they already were indemnified from prosecution prior to the mid-1980s.

Fascinating stuff. Unsurprisingly, like so many pseudo-scientists in mainstream liturgy, Jenner was also a pathological liar, or at least that’s how the above article portrays him to be. He didn’t even earn his doctorate degree; he simply bought it for a mere fifteen British pounds.
And, of course, he later lobbied the English parliament for funding of his vaccine projects, leaving the U.K. Treasury to foot the bill (just like all the worldwide treasury cons today). And in some instances, the vaccines that were used actually exacerbated the problems they were supposed to tackle, not reduced them. Take the smallpox vaccines, which in England caused a few epidemics of the same disease. Smallpox was already going away due to better sanitation being practiced across England, so vaccination against the disease wasn’t really necessary. Doesn’t this remind you of the Polio vaccine scam?
Of course, the persistent promotion of mass vaccination at great expense to society at large clearly demonstrates that what’s happening all around us is not by accident. I have spoken with my virtual pen-pals how vaccines play into population control measures, something even Bill Gates famously admitted himself at one TEDx talk over a decade ago (btw, around that time, there was another pandemic: the H1N1 scare.) Gates, of course, is heavily involved in the profitable vaccine business through his foundation, which also receives plenty of public and private funding through GAVI.

When you consider the fact that the Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex is one of the largest donors to the CDC, this is to be expected. Pharma does not like accountability for their actions if that accountability hurts their bottom line and makes them vulnerable to lawsuits, so, of course, they would have their bitches at the agency shut down when their colleagues go too far.

Eisenhower also warned us about the power Big Pharma has over public policy, as well as its notorious sister industry – Big Defense. But, of course, we didn’t pay attention closely then. Look where we are now. He mentions the pharma racket after closing remarks on the war racket.
Pandemics are as much a racket as war is. They are also a great way for the corporate state to expand its power & funding capacities that maintain its control over the population at all costs, which in return benefits the ruling class tremendously, as the past two years have shown.
The Coronavirus scamdemic was basically another version of the “War on Terror” – it was engineered to bring forth massive changes that would tremendously benefit the power elite at the great expense of the very people they claim to represent (at least in countries that pretend to be democratic). And just like what happened under Bush in 2008 and continued under Obama (TARP), we had yet another tax-funded bailout in 2020 (CARES) under Trump – half of which directly went to corporate America, while the rest was later gobbled up by the same thieves.
As spook Thomas Jefferson is reported to have once said, “A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.” What has happened throughout much of America’s history – as well as the world – clearly demonstrates this principle. Here’s a fun song that encapsulates this philosophy:
And this lovely graphic, which expands to the people behind the wolves running this country on their behalf – the pigs (i.e., the donor class):
