Hope you enjoy your most-likely-day-off tomorrow, if you live in the US. Starting with Biomedical. A BIG item.
Biomedical. Starting with an excellent analysis of the “Spanish” Flu alleged global “pandemic" in 1917-18. Segments from a long piece.
Exploding the Spanish Flu Myth, the HFDF Team [that’s theHealth Freedom Defense Fund team, which often includes my friend Michael Bryant} 6/20/24.
Conventional explanations found in the standard literature are perfunctory, uniform and lacking in forensic analysis of causal factors for this cataclysmic historical event. The immortalized history of the improperly named “Spanish Flu” is regularly used like a sword of Damocles as justification for all manner of government health policy responses – “If we don’t do X we may see the horrors of the Spanish Flu again.” The story of an alleged pathogen sweeping across the globe and causing a mass death event has been ingrained in the public psyche through generational repetition and is now uncritically accepted despite numerous inexplicable anomalies in the official narrative.
When looked at without pre-established sentiments the entire story of this cataclysmic health catastrophe being caused by some microscopic superbug seems rather unreasonable. When looked at in the context of the devastation produced by World War 1, with the backdrop of a nascent Pharmaceutical/Chemical Industry in search of its raison d’etre, this seminal human catastrophe develops a logical coherence that defies the standard assumptions of infectious disease.
This rapidly expanding scientific and medical industry, being assembled by the wealthiest men in the world, stood in direct opposition to research that investigated the relationship of social factors to health and disease. Instead, resources would be focused only on chemistry, pathology, bacteriology, physiology and pharmacology, ignoring the impact of the mental, emotional, social, economic, and physical environment on disease and health……
Of Electromagnetic Poisoning and the Rosenau Experiments
In Arthur Firstenberg’s groundbreaking book, “The Invisible Rainbow꞉ A History Of Electricity And Life”, he examines the impacts of electricity and its interaction with living organisms. Firstenberg’s seminal work suggests a wide range of illnesses and metabolic disorders can be attributed to exposures to pulsed and alternating electromagnetic fields in the environment which interfere with electric currents used by our biological systems.
A distinct feature of the late 19th century and early 20th century was the mass electrification of urban areas. This period saw the emergence of the first stray currents to which living beings were exposed and saw the initial appearance of diseases such as neurasthenia. Some have suggested that this mass electrification program, accelerated during WW1 as governments installed antennas which created strong radio signals, was yet another contributing factor to the innumerable maladies that impacted soldiers during this time.
In 1918 researchers for the Public Health Service and the U.S. Navy conducted human experiments in order to determine the cause of the Spanish flu and the reason for what was thought to be its extraordinary contagious qualities. Milton J. Roseneau supervised this landmark study, “Experiments to Determine Mode of Spread of Influenza,” which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1919. The experiments were conducted at Gallops Island, the quarantine station in Boston Harbor.
Quoting directly from the study: “The experiment began with 100 volunteers from the Navy who had no history of influenza. Rosenau was the first to report on the experiments conducted at Gallops Island in November and December 1918.
His first volunteers received first one strain and then several strains of Pfeiffer’s bacillus by spray and swab into their noses and throats and then into their eyes. When that procedure failed to produce disease, others were inoculated with mixtures of other organisms isolated from the throats and noses of influenza patients. Next, some volunteers received injections of blood from influenza patients. Finally, 13 of the volunteers were taken into an influenza ward and exposed to 10 influenza patients each. Each volunteer was to shake hands with each patient, to talk with him at close range, and to permit him to cough directly into his face.
None of the volunteers in these experiments developed influenza. Rosenau was clearly puzzled, and he cautioned against drawing conclusions from negative results.”
In the JAMA article Roseneau concluded: "As a matter of fact, we entered the outbreak with a notion that we knew the cause of the disease, and were quite sure we knew how it was transmitted from person to person. Perhaps, if we have learned anything, it is that we are not quite sure what we know about the disease.”
A companion study done at the same time at Angel Island in San Francisco produced similar negative results. Both studies concluded that what was considered to be one of the most contagious of communicable diseases in history could not be transferred under experimental conditions. As well as challenging the contagion orthodoxy the results of the Roseneau experiments repudiate yet another pillar of the Spanish Flu mythos……
Is it forbidden to ask how it was that the ‘global pandemic’ ended and the alleged illness “mysteriously” disappeared at the same time WW1 ended? Is it really unreasonable to suggest that the primary cause of deaths attributable to the Spanish Flu was all things related to WW1 and not a pathogen? Now more than ever it’s important to pursue these questions, to have knowledge of this history, and to get that history right in order to understand the verifiable origins of the event and who the false narrative serves.
And, Dr Sam Bailey looks at Folate, Folic Acid and the like.
Dr Sam Bailey, 7/2/24.
Folic acid is something that we all need to know about. Many countries have mandatory “fortification” programs and most of us ingest it without too much thought. It has been presented by the World Health Organisation and their associates as a “win-win” for the public due to the purported prevention of neural tube defects such as spina bifida.
This video investigates some of the pivotal papers that were used as the evidence for folic acid supplementation for pregnant women and then entire populations. We examine what the real world data shows and why some of the numbers do not stack up.
Additionally, the folic acid they are putting in these products is not the same as the folate that has been depleted from our food in the first place. What are the implications of constant exposure to synthetic compounds and what can you do to remedy the situation today?
Hopefully you enjoy this video as well as all the other free resources encouraging healthy living at drsambailey dot com. The book Terrain Therapy also outlines how to achieve your best health through right thinking and right living. It includes an outline of how our diets have been corrupted and what you can do to put everything back on track.

My comment: Superb, Dr Bailey. Easy conclusion, folic acid is an industrial product pretending to replace folate, a natural necessary nutrient.
4IR. Kenya update. The upsurge continues.
Kenya police clash with protesters as tax bill unrest continues. Protesters condemn police brutality amid deadly demonstrations over withdrawn tax bill, call for president to resign. 7/2/24.
Police have fired tear gas and water cannon at protesters across Kenya as demonstrations against a controversial finance bill continue, even after the president said he would not sign it.
In the capital city, Nairobi, riot police fired tear gas and charged at protesters on Tuesday. Hundreds of protesters marched through Mombasa, Kenya’s second-largest city. Some carried palm fronds, blew on plastic horns and beat on drums, chanting “Ruto must go!” There were smaller rallies in the cities of Kisumu, Nakuru and Nyeri.
The protests are the most widespread unrest since dozens of protesters were killed in clashes a week ago. They appear to signal that President William Ruto has failed to appease the youth-led protest movement, despite abandoning plans for tax rises that triggered the unrest last month.
Reporting from Nairobi, Al Jazeera’s Catherine Soi said there had been a “running battle” between police and protesters in the city. She said many of the protesters condemned police brutality. “That was the theme of today: The protesters say that they were coming here to give their grievances when it comes to police brutality,” she said. “They’re very angry, and they’re saying that the police have to be held accountable.”
On Monday the Kenya National Human Rights Commission said that at least 39 people had been killed at the protests, which began on June 18. Most of the deaths took place on June 25, when police opened fire as crowds tried to storm the parliament complex in central Nairobi, after legislators voted on the bill. The commission said at least 361 people have been injured at the demonstrations, in what it described as “excessive and disproportionate” police force.
While Ruto withdrew his support for the bill a day after it was passed, the move has done little to stem the anger among the protest movement. Many protesters fear the president could still sign the legislation before it officially expires next week.[SNIP]…..
And, in the Israeli genocide, the ethnic cleansing is being accelerated in the West Bank, where Hamas is NOT in power. Largest land grab in over 30 years. This is Enclosures, pure and simple.
Israeli seizures of West Bank land for settlers peaking, watchdog says. Israel has illegally claimed 23.7sq km (9.15sq miles) of West Bank land as its own so far this year, Peace Now says. 7/3/24
Israeli authorities have green-lighted the largest West Bank land seizure in more than three decades as the rate of land grabs in the occupied Palestinian territory peaks, an Israeli anti-settlement watchdog says. The planned seizure, approved by Israel’s government late last month but only publicised on Wednesday, targets 12.7sq km (4.9sq miles) of land in the Jordan Valley, the Peace Now NGO said. The move raises the total amount of West Bank land that Israel has declared its own this year to 23.7sq km (9.15sq miles). That makes 2024 by far the peak year for Israeli land seizures, the watchdog said.
The Jordan Valley parcels noted are contiguous and located northeast of Ramallah, the city where the Palestinian Authority is headquartered.[Thus, isolating Ramallah]
By declaring them state lands, the Israeli government has opened them up to being leased to Israelis and prohibited to private Palestinian ownership. Israeli settlements in the West Bank, deemed illegal under international law, are often cited as the main barrier to any lasting peace agreement with Palestinians under a two-state solution. “Today, it is clear to everyone that this conflict cannot be resolved without a political settlement that establishes a Palestinian state alongside Israel,” Peace Now said in a statement. “Still, the Israeli government chooses to actually make it difficult and distance us from the possibility of peace and stopping the bloodshed.”
Far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who oversees settlement planning and lives in a settlement himself, has promised to flood the West Bank with a million new settlers. Smotrich is a prominent leader among hardline nationalist political forces on which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government depends. “Netanyahu and Smotrich are determined to fight against the entire world and against the interests of the people of Israel for the benefit of a handful of settlers who receive thousands of dunams as if there were no political conflict to resolve or war to end,” Peace Now said. In Israel, one dunam is equivalent to 1,000sq metres or 0.25 acres. [SNIP]……
And, Electronic Intifada’s weekly news show.

2:27:31 - 2:32:21 Outro
My comments.Abed’s report is as usual quite moving. Shir Hever, the Israeli-born political economist now working in Germany who is very active with the BDS movement, provided some very interesting analysis. Intel has cancelled plans to build a large chip plant in Kiryat Gat. Israeli government officials are trying to portray this as a delay, which is not the company’s perspective. Report on the contracting Israeli weapons exports. And a look at yesterday’s NY Times article reporting the IDF (Israeli Destruction Force) is experiencing munitions shortages and discipline problems and its leaders want a truce in Gaza. Hever related that many commanders are having to bribe their soldiers with cigarettes to do stuff like quarters housekeeping
Massoud discussed the ugly circumstances faced by the 80,000 Gaza residents who have taken refuge in Egypt, where basic rights are denied them. He also discussed tomorrow’s elections in the UK, where he resides. Yeah, we realize the two major parties are in lockstep, but the entire electoral representative form of government is a sham, regardless of who wins elections. No change is ever gonna come from that direction, and EI is being deceptive pretending otherwise.. Ali Abunimah discussed further the NY Times IDF article, as to how the IDF leadership is more in touch with reality than the Israeli political leadership, which even contemplates extending the war to the northern front with Hezbollah and beyond. Also, a discussion of yesterday’s talk by Sec of State Blinken at the State Department, standing by the genocide.
And, i had a glimpse yesterday into what Israeli and pro-Israeli audiences are being fed, a key reason this outrage continues.. See " PREMIERE NEW SHOW: Fmr. IDF Spokesperson Reveals the Difficult Truths Israel Must Face” by JNS (Jewish News Syndicate) on YouTube. It’s tough viewing (made me constantly wanna throw up), but highly educational. The IDF guy repeated talking points over and over, most likely causing them to be embedded into the subconsciouses of many viewers. Israelis are defending their “ancestral land,” while Hamas and their ilk are invaders from Syria, Iraq, Egypt…..[Never mind the numerous science studies regarding genetics which show ptherwise] .Hamas started this by its attack [i.e. it all started on October 7. 2023] The IDF exercises more care than any other military force in history to avoid civilian casualties but it’s hard to tell apart combatants from civilians, and it’s Hamas’s fault. It’s Egypt’s fault for not opening its border to let in people from the Gaza Strip, whom the IDF will allow back once it’s done eradicating Hamas [Eh, right!!] The IDF will soon finish with Gaza and turn its attention to the northern border and Hezbollah, and then go to the root of the problem, Iran. And he feels bad for the young people on campuses and streets in the US and many other nations protesting against Israel and “lining up with Hamas,” confused by “propaganda” and innate anti-Semitism.[Never mind so many of them are of Jewish background]
Ending this segment and this edition, former Pink Floyd member Roget Waters (condemned as an anti-Semite by RFK Jr) speaks out on Gaza, appearing at a campaign rally for an independent MP candidate in Blackburn, Lancashire, England, Craig Murray, who was the UK ambassador to Uzbekistan in the mid ‘00s, fired after speaking out about the Iraq war, torture in Uzbekistan and the like. As i said, i don’t support electoral politics, but it’s good to see an artist speaking out, refusing to be intimidated into silence.
Roger Waters joins Craig Murray in Blackburn, streamed live 7/2/24, an hour and 8 minutes. Waters doesn’t start till well in, like around the 20:00 to 30:00 segment.
NOTE: My posting of the first article in this edition does not mean i endorse every single thing being done by HFDF. I like this article a LOT, but have problems with lots of the stances which Leslie Manookian, who runs HFDF, has taken, such as voiced in Part 2 of "Setting the Stage" segment of The End of Covid series, which was first released just about a year ago today.
One of your best episodes yet. And I also thought that Spanish Flu was somehow connected to a forceful vaccine campaign around that time?
