Thank all of your for coming out to read this post. I want to make a postscript here to clarify some points that you may wonder about. This post is only about 2020 before shots came out.
The reason I did not include vaping in the trinary:
☞This is concerning, though a small % of the population and there’s no data I can find of the percent of vapers who had pcr tests. I imagine that data is hard to come by.
Masks were also not included in the trinary:
●Correlating persons who masked with those that did or did not get pcr tests is nearly impossible so I did not consider that variable. Masks do contain fibers, micro plastics, bacterial overgrowth, and disinfectants of unknown make-up so that all I can say about masks is that they are not healthy. But here in Japan, though 95% of persons were masking in packed trains in 2020, only a small percent of the population got ill and I personally saw very few. People were said to have serious Covid illnes so there should have been lots of mild cases with coughing etc. on the packed trains but there was not.
On vents and deaths:
●This post was on illness, of which death is an extension of and so would be included in some of the persons noted to be ill. While terrible, it is a redundant variable. Deaths would also likely be caused by other hospital drugs like midazolam and opiates mixed with vents. These were not the causes of the initial illness thus not included in what made persons ill.
👉There are many moving parts to the Covid story including the suspicion that different batches of the various products involved would hide the toxicities. I do not portend to have the whole story down. We all have to think together.
A friend of mine refused to take the shot but her workplace insisted she must take the test. I pleaded with her not to but she did. Something so contagious surely doesn't need a 6 foot swabbing!
The story at least in the beginning about COVID-19 was that is was only dangerous to the older population...ad that was part of the fear narrative used to get people to go along with the idea of you know, protecting the elders, the marginalized. There was also the story that the indigenous and Black people were more affected. As we know, the story shifted as needed because the system was reading peoples behaviors and ideas and fears in real time and responding as a way to enact more control and silo people by their beliefs
I think some of us have come to realize that the covid spectacle was a real time psychological experiment in compliance only enabled by the establishment of the global panoptican that continued to be rolled out (5G) under cover of lockdowns and that gave cover to the massive upward wealth transfer and, with the rollout of the LLMs, (AI had already been rolled out en masse for business models world wide) the final piece of the enclosures that enslave us in a rentier world through our total dependency on the system for our very survival. See how it is now the huge platforms who are at the pinnacle of the heirarchy, no longer the factory owners, who now must pay fealty to the platforms just to get their products seen, sold and into the hands of the consumer.
My cousin tried to tell me it was a dry swab, nothing on it - that was definitely not the case. My mother was in a nursing home during the height of the testing period and visitors were supposed to do the test every single time they visited. Fortunately, they left the tests for visitors to do at their discretion most of the time but occasionally you'd get a carer trying to get you to push it right up your nose - I pretty much never did. Ugh!
Whether the evidence suggests it or not, one can only expect that the swabs would have been used to help with the delusion of a pandemic.
They do love their numbers.. I used to tune into the “six” o’clock propaganda broadcast during the height of the mind control operation,just to see the case count and death toll tickers. Ahhh the wonder years.
There was even a few morbid substack “writer’s” posting daily deaths after the cv-“19”operation. Not sure if that is still a thing.
The swabby thing definitely makes sense to me. I had to submit to the brain probe one time to retain a job.. further probing was required in lieu of being injected with the unknown substance, but I declined both and promptly packed my bag and went home. I never felt right after the deep brain exploration. One time was too many.
also what ss author Norman James describes as microwave syndrome: "...within days of 5G base stations going live near previously unaffected people [...], across multiple apartments and offices. Sleep destroyed. Headaches. Tinnitus. Dizziness and balance disorders..." - https://normanjamesemf.substack.com/p/my-phone-was-leaking-20-mwm-in-a
Yes Havana Syndrome for the masses. Thank you for the link! I did read that a while back. I have had it for over ten years, but the intensity really ramped up in 2020 which definitely coincided with the 5g rollout and the swabs. There is no question about the microwave illness epidemic that we are experiencing now as a result.. 6g could be the kill shot
During 2020-2022 I vaped, had one swab prior a colonoscopy and had one very short very mild detox event. Otherwise nothing.
Since adopting a plant based diet I have had two detox events, the one above and a longer, 4 days, medium discomfort one. I used to detox twice a year on the SAD diet.
I wonder how many young children under 12 y.o. carry in their pockets or use a 4G or 5G cell phones as opposed to older and working adults? An active cell phone is a precise target to focus the microwave signals on, especially the case with the 5G phased array antennae systems they put in place during 2020.
True they missed pcr and emfs to phones. But they were still bathed in some emfs from towers and nearby phones. Here in Japan, packed trains carry emfs when you stand between the seats and are surrounded by people. It's much less near the doors and end sections. I measured it once with my Safe and Sound Classic II. Maybe I will do that again someday with video for a post.
Excellent points Proton. Forgive me, I'm about to go off course a bit.
It is my opinion that the Certificate of Vaccination ID/19 (COVid 19=AI) Is the jump off point to get people to capitulate to TRANSHUMANISM.
I'm considering not only the ongoing illness from the swabs, shots , clots & 5g ... but the bombardment of fake news horror stories so people will willingly WANT to live in the VIRTUAL 15-minute city scenarios plugged in to crypto payment for their services/work in the VR realm.
The youngsters born of the Covid era seem to be built different & more resilient to the EMF's, so will likely be the "essential workers" that deliver food & do real whirled services whilst the checked out/VR folks build, by & sell, market virtual realistate & live inside a system of virtual crypt/cbdc banking. Crypto is dead energy/ zombie banking & what I believe is the Zombie apocalypse that is spoken of.
Money earned in the virtual can only be spent in the virtual ... which I feel would force the collapse of what we consider real life. The VR Zombies will be amongst the living as predicted.
PLUS, we STILL don't KNOW what was IN those shots. If your ill, your more prone to WANT to live in Virtual reality where your new body/avatar works properly without pain, as the Nano links in with the 6 & 7 Geez(us) frequencies.
If you don't take the VR MARK, you will not be allowed to buy & sell in the virtual where the Geez(us) Character will return to save "humanity" from the real-world heathens that refused the VR mark. It's all written into the plot of the greatest story ever told.
You are so right, there are just so many moving parts in play to get to THEIR 2020 techno-vision.
Interesting take. What raised my eyebrows is the line at the end "You must be polite and logical to comment on this post". What does polite mean and logical? How can we determine logic if we don't talk? I would like you to reconsider and remove that impolite threat. Free speech forever!
Hello Denise, you asked me this before and I replied before that my comment sections need to be like we are in a college classroom that encourages critical thinking, discussion, and debate. Did you forget what I wrote you before or do you just want to needle me with your opinion on comments?
To repeat, we don't call each other names, go on tirades, or Bogart the space with ad nauseam comments. There are some heated persons, and persons or bots that are part of the blob whose MO is to confuse and dilute the comments with nasties, sorry that is not what I wish to accomplish or allow on these posts anymore. We are all equal and you can do it your way on your posts.
My posts in '22, '23 were attacked numerous times by operatives. Been there done that. Now we don't call each other names, go on tirades, or Bogart the space with ad nauseam comments here. By all means make your own posts your way, that is the beauty of freedom-while we still have some.
Humbly, though Your data are outstanding, I cringed throughout this piece. I explain why I am revolted when People call Our children "kids” in these two pieces:
Would one spouse say to another, "I'm gonna pick up the kids" or 'I'm gonna pick up the children"? that's your answer.
I would side with this statement:
"Is “Kid” Derogatory?
The answer depends on who’s saying it—and why. “Kid” isn’t inherently derogatory, but its history as an informal, class-loaded term gives it a lingering edge. When used to infantilize or undermine, it crosses into disrespect. When used with genuine affection or solidarity, it’s a linguistic hug."
Many words in many languages are lovely or disrespectful depending on the context. My posts are all written informally and this one does not have any disrespectful position on young persons in it.
Yes, little proton, Hollywood long ago normalized the calling Our children “kids.” And today, They have most everyOne doing it. But when I was growing up, mostly I heard “children” - though “kids” was creeping in.
My point is that the reason They did that was to mock Us, as They sacrifice children, and I have personally witnessed it. Calling Our children sacrificial goats. The second link I offered is My recounting of how and why I witnessed it.
So I will not give Them Their chuckle to hear Me call children “kids.” You, of course, may do as Thou wilt.
I used the word kids 11 times and the word children 10 times in this post. I'm not stuck on nor purposely using the kid word. I just speak native English, sorry about that.
I can agree with occult manipulation, they can laugh all they want I wont succumb to avoiding words that are neutral or affectionate in the lexicon I grew up with. It all depends on context as the link I pasted above says.
Universities and MSM uses the word kids in discussions on covid in their title copy lots. Yeah we don't like MSM but it's still colloquial English in proper use. Simple search of "Why kids don't get covid" with just the top 4 hits. Yeah there may be an occult meaning but it all depends on the intent of the writer.

And as for universities… They’re all owned and run by those same moneyed psychopaths in control, who own Hollywood, own the media (mainstream and “alternative,” online, on TV & in print), own the for-profit corp(se)orations called “governments” (I call them governmafias), own the delivery of Our perception in every way.

Thanks for your kind tolerance of all my "data". You're one of those people who can have kind and warm differences of opinion, your a great online friend!
I noticed that you are still not set up for paid subscribers or 'coffee' donations...
If you name a few authors on Substack or elsewhere who you would personally regret not being able to read if they were to disappear due to lack of financial support...if that...I bet some of your readers would look them up and consider being paid subscribers to them. I know I would.
Oh, thanks, not sure I deserve to be in the top 10 but thank you. You can see my list of reccs. Some are because of their writing, maybe some are just because they engaged in comradery or had good comments to share. My recc list should be updated to add new and remove unactive SSs but I've been a bit lazy on that front lately.
Good answer...I forgot about the 'recc list' idea...I just comment here and there and haven't done any sort of serious analysis about the infrastructure or operational dynamics of SS.
Occasionally is I get a note/email saying 'XYZ followed you'. I used to automatically 'follow them back'. A couple years ago I stopped doing that reflex and started sending a message asking if they knew of any concrete benefit that there would be if I 'followed them back'. So far nobody has come up with anything concrete. So, I just think of it in terms of a more formal tip o' the hat than just clicking on the Like button.
I don't think it needs money to write articles. Some writers go to a lot of trouble researching that is true. However once someone received money (from this insane money system) their work becomes dubious at best.
Thank all of your for coming out to read this post. I want to make a postscript here to clarify some points that you may wonder about. This post is only about 2020 before shots came out.
The reason I did not include vaping in the trinary:
●In 2020 less than 4% of the population vaped. And many of those that vaped and had illness got pcr tests confusing this variable. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db524.htm
●More than 2,800 e-cigarette users required hospital admission due to e-cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury between April 2019 thru February 2020 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%932020_vaping_lung_illness_outbreak

From 2020 I remember feeling unwell after I was swabbed. Strange feeling at the back of my nose and higher heart rate for days.
A friend of mine refused to take the shot but her workplace insisted she must take the test. I pleaded with her not to but she did. Something so contagious surely doesn't need a 6 foot swabbing!
The story at least in the beginning about COVID-19 was that is was only dangerous to the older population...ad that was part of the fear narrative used to get people to go along with the idea of you know, protecting the elders, the marginalized.

Good points Wendy

What great findings. Certainly, makes sense. I must read carefully.

Well said Petra.
Another thought provoking article Proton!

I’ve learned to make friends with the constant tinnitus! Lol
FWIW, on tinnitus and microwave radiation: "...what millions are now experiencing is [...] a technologically induced hearing issue created by chronic exposure to pulsed RF/microwave radiation frequencies..." - https://radiationdangers.com/2018/04/26/microwave-hearing-ringing-in-the-ears-and-tinnitus/

it's very disconcerting. it seems proper grounding (fairly complicated biochemical stuff) might be one way of dealing with it. be well.

People have been turned into beacons & nodes. That would be a really interesting concept video on EMF & node signaling.
absolutely horrifying.
Your cynicism is off the charts.
And so is mine!
Excellent points Proton. Forgive me, I'm about to go off course a bit.
It is my opinion that the Certificate of Vaccination ID/19 (COVid 19=AI) Is the jump off point to get people to capitulate to TRANSHUMANISM.

Ah 19=AI!
I also thought 1x9=9, and 9 is code for three 3's or 33, so AI also = 33, which is a double trinary. One happy family of 3's
Haha!
They always have to get their numerology in there somewhere. 1=a & 9=i ....
A trinity of 3's wouldn't phase me either as 9 is completion of the trick.
AI = 9 +1 =10 or 1's & zeros .... binary bullshittery. Lololol
Whichever way you slice it, They TOLD us all about the Certificate Of Vaccination ID-19/AI in the name.
They basically said "Hey! Come take this shot & btw, welcome to the BORG."
Thanks for all this JM. You are clearly on the track.

I just write to blow off steam, spread info, and learn from others.
I learn some things from you and maybe 8-10 writers on SS.
If someone ask me for recommendations, you're on the list.
I was just wondering if you had a list that didn't overlap with mine.
Oh, thanks, not sure I deserve to be in the top 10 but thank you. You can see my list of reccs. Some are because of their writing, maybe some are just because they engaged in comradery or had good comments to share. My recc list should be updated to add new and remove unactive SSs but I've been a bit lazy on that front lately.
Good answer...I forgot about the 'recc list' idea...I just comment here and there and haven't done any sort of serious analysis about the infrastructure or operational dynamics of SS.
