The Journalists missed the key factor which was blood levels of participants.
The headline says Clinical trial finds vitamin D does not ward off colds and flu but all it really shows is that in a group that already have *normal, non-deficient levels* of Vitamin D, taking big doses of Vitamin D once a month won’t will raise your blood levels — but won’t make a big difference to your risk of respiratory infections. And it only applies to people aged 60 -74.
Most participants in the study had a normal but sub-optimal Vit D levels and after five years of sporadic high doses, were raised to optimal levels at the end.
After taking 60,000 IU each month, supplementers apparently went from having 77.5 nmol/L up to 114.8 nmol/L,. To put this in perspective, normal levels of Vitamin D start at “50” and above, and there are professors who point out that there are […]

John Matze ran a company that was worth half a billion dollars on Friday, but Parler went from number one in the Apple Ap store to zero overnight. Matze now says he can’t go home for fear of his safety. It appears that Parler have done a deal with Epik to shift there (which also houses Gab). Judging by this Newsweek article Epik are already so hated and tarred, they have no fear.

Bill Gates, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster
In the meantime Bill Gates is bidding 4.3 billion dollars to buy a whole airline. Signature Aviation is a company that handles 1.6 million private jet flights a year, all of which produce about 40 times as much carbon per passenger.
Who cares about carbon then?

This isn’t the first time Gates has been slammed for his double standards around the climate change agenda.

Parler will be tossed off Amazon at midnight US time tonight. Friday, Parler jumped to the #1 app in Apple’s app store. Saturday Apple tossed it off.
The Tech Giants run the country. They control the conversations of millions of people.
ZeroHedge: Parler saw approximately 210,000 installs globally on Friday 1/8, up 281% from approximately 55,000 on 1/7, according to data from the analytics service Sensor Tower. “In the U.S., the app saw approximately 182,000 first-time downloads on 1/8, up 355% from about 40,000 installs on 1/7. Since Wednesday, the app has seen approximately 268,000 installs from across U.S. app stores,” a press rep from Sensor Tower wrote in an email. -TechCrunch

If China was trying to influence the US elections, the US Intelligence chose to help China rather than the sitting US President.
Remember the Intelligence Report on Foreign Interference on the US election that was due on December 18th? It was part of Executive Order 13848 and due within 45 days of the US election, but it was only delivered on Thursday to Congress, whereupon it vanished entirely under the PR weight of the Congressional Storm. So it was too late to be useful.
Apparently there is already an Ombudsman Report on it, by Barry Zulauf, who laments “the polarized atmosphere [which] has threatened to undermine the foundations of our Republic, penetrating even into the Intelligence Community.”
The President wanted a report on foreign interference. The Director of the National Intelligence (DNI) wanted a report, and the people of America wanted it, but that still it wasn’t enough to overcome the bureaucratic inertia and resistance.
US Intelligence Report on China withheld because of excuses:

UPDATE: The claims from the Data Integrity Group in the Georgia Senate Hearing about votes being withdrawn need to be confirmed.
I had some frivolous fun with the post for a few hours, but these claims need checking before anyone takes them further. Tel raises the point that Putnam County is small and the alleged “flips” are very large. In Putnam there were only about 17,000 votes in total, so a flip of 6,000 votes is nearly a third of all votes. Further investigation suggests a flip of 17,000 votes in Dougherty County is about half the vote. In Dodge County, Georgia, there were only 8,000 voters in total. Bibb County is the largest county with around 70,000 voters — but even there a 12,173 vote flip is still 17% of the vote. These are big claims. Perhaps too big.
In light of that, until these flips get confirmed or explained in relation to the size of the county, lets stick with the many examples of voting irregularities that are easier to verify. The graphs and discussion are left here below in case someone can shed light either way on the situation.

Ponder that the most popular man in America allegedly just lost an election to a man who polled one third his score in a popularity contest. It’s just a poll but Trump ranked first with 18% of Americans in the Gallup poll. This occurred while almost all the media were describing him as a delusional sore loser trying to overthrow democracy. Joe Biden, on the other hand, won just 6% while he is riding high in the honeymoon glow. It’s as good as it can get.
Meanwhile 4 days later and Google still shows Obama in a tie with Trump:

“Maybe a Serbian guy should tell Americans what they should do”
Our dictator Milosevic stole the election. He used all the tactics you see now.
In October 2000, my country done something extraordinary. After being obedient for ten years, after sitting in tanks to pointlessly die, after many treasons and hopeless future… my country somehow decided it was time to do something, to fight for freedom.
It started with strikes and civil disobedience. All of Serbia came to Belgrade. Basically everyone who could walk went to the protest.
Somehow when they have seen the sea of people they decided … to back off.
“They are never going to be as weak as now
and you are never going to be as strong as you are now”
If you lose now, it will be game over.

This is sweeping, cutting, geopolitical commentary of the highest order. The vulnerability of the West, the rot in the Intelligence community, and what he calls the Chinese plan to “Capture the Elites” of the West.
He talks about the failure of the West to protect Hong Kong — “this is the 1930s, and Hong Kohng is the Czechoslovakia of the modern era.” “We will rue the day…”
According to Bannon, “what makes this work is the slave labor model of China”.By keeping wages low they keep workers all around the world working as serfs. In a globalist world, when workers in the West compete with slave labor camps, in the end, they have to become them too. Trump broke that model.
“The greatest export China has is ….the serf state.”
Steve Bannon talks to Joshua Phillip from Epoch Times. I
It’s interesting all the way through.
You want to look at the decline of Britain, look at the failure in Hong Kong.
We didn’t defend it.
Bannon says Trump needs to appoint two special counsels, one on China, and the other on the intelligence community:

Corruption is like acid to a High Trust Democracy. When cheating becomes naked, obvious and there is no pushback, no justice, it unleashes a corrosive force. The circles of cheating spread like ripples on a pond and cheating-feedback waves grow until turbulence consumes everything, and there is no peace or clarity left. Under the surface, the acid spreads, changing the underlying chemistry of every reaction.
First the politicians who were tempted to cheat, but feared exposure, realize they can get away with it (or certain flavours of it). Billionaires and corporate powers who didn’t play the game realize they need to toss some money in the pot.
Then the intrinsically honest politicians watching on, start to doubt that there is much point in staying honest. The honest businessmen start to wonder if they will be left behind if they don’t put hot cash in the right hand.
Trust is the grease that makes Western economies the powerhouses of the world. There will never be enough police, enough auditors or enough spies to catch all the cheaters if everyone breaks the rules.
There will not be enough judges and courts to hear all the evidence — or during the CERN Supercollider […]
In this newly uncovered phone call, Julian Assange can be heard calling Hillary Clinton’s State Department and trying to warn them so they could protect their agents and stop the releases.
James O’Keefe @JamesOKeefeIII
Assange believed that there was a great danger to United States Agents and interests with the publication of unredacted documents stolen from @Wikileaks by his rouge former employee Daniel Domscheit-Berg.
This is a recording of State Department lawyer Cliff Johnson on August 26, 2011
The audio shows that Assange went to great lengths to try to prevent the uncontrolled publication of the full US State Department cables by third parties on the internet.
Gateway Pundit:
Project Veritas Releases Shocking Never-Before-Heard Phone Call Between Julian Assange and Hillary Clinton’s State Department
Notably, the audio from the call on August 26, 2011, makes clear that WikiLeaks only re-published the full US embassy cables after they were on hundreds of websites, torrent sites and Twitter. Specifically, the full cables were published on Cryptome.org and the Pirate Bay — days before they were published on WikiLeaks.
Johnson responds by asking, “And who would be releasing these cables? Is this WikiLeaks?”
“No, […]
“We have more than enough time”.
“If you cure just three constitutional flaws Donald Trump wins this election.”

Who needs an Election when Youtube decides the winner?
Scott Adams, author of Dilbert cartoon, was one of the first to be rounded up in Youtube’s new pogrom.
Probably Scott was caught saying things like this:
14:30 minutes in: The odds that historians are going to find this election was fixed are pretty much 100%. Ten years from now, I don’t think anyone is going to say, “…despite all the claims, Biden won, and it looked like a pretty solid good election.”
After all, these sort of thoughts might cause Walmart to be looted and pillaged, one day, indirectly, — albeit mostly by people who don’t know who Scott Adams is.
There is no proof of election fraud (and if there was we’d delete it.)
Youtube’s reasons:
Yesterday was the safe harbor deadline for the U.S. Presidential election and enough states have certified their election results to determine a President-elect. Given that, we will start removing any piece of content uploaded today (or anytime after) that misleads people by alleging that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, in line with our approach towards historical U.S. […]
Some things matter. The biggest scandal of Covid — the one worth fighting for — is that there are drugs that work, which are safe and well tested, but they suffer from the crippling problem of being too cheap for our captured public health institutions to use. Because they are old safe, mass produced and out of patent no Pharmaceutical giant will make mass profits, which dooms them to being ignored, under researched, and generally scoffed at in rude dismissive terms.
The biggest failure of our government health agencies right now is the Black Hole of Medicine — the astronomical event horizon beyond which cheap safe drugs disappear without a trace.
3,000 people are dying every day in the USA and 5,000 a day are dying in Europe, mostly from a problem which can be solved to a large extent.
Sure, the media hate HCQ because “Donald”. But it’s not just HCQ and it’s not just Trump — the media ignore all the cheap antivirals and all the rich nations have the same medical Black Hole. This is the work of the Medical Swamp, captured by Big Pharma.
The Age of Antivirals is here and hardly anyone even knows […]
Jacida Ardern declared that New Zealand faces a climate emergency. She may think it’s just symbolic but there are prices, aside from making the word “emergency” just that much more useless. Ardern has stepped into a psychology trap like a public Chastity Vow. She and everyone who voted for it will be measured against this in everything they do. She’s been captured just that bit tighter. What?! say the eternally indignant, How can you fund a new Port / Frigate / Hospital / insert idea here — when we face a climate emergency, right here, right now and for the next billion years! This will be used against her and the party and she will have less room to maneuver.
But the real price is what irresponsible people might do next
Declaring a fake emergency also provides the perfect excuse for activists to break the law then say “I’m just saving the Earth, your honor!” Perpetrators of civil disobedience have been using this in the US and UK to stay out of jail for things like shutting high pressure gas pipelines — a form of industrial sabotage that risks explosions. Alleged law breakers don’t have to prove there is […]
