"I didn't realize we were already oversized for what we need. I would love to know what we're building this overcapacity for if it's not for a digital surveillance and control grid." A White Paper: "Data Centers: What do we need all this data for? A Mathematical Analysis" Susan Luschas and her husband Manuel Luschas, authors of the white paper "Data Centers: What do we need all this data for? A Mathematical Analysis"1, are both electrical engineers. Susan has a PhD from MIT in electrical engineering and she worked on some of the first WiFi, Bluetooth and cell phone chips in Silicon Valley. Later, she worked as a professor at Santa Clara University. Manuel worked for many years on digital highspeed data communication devices for data centers in Silicon Valley. In 2020, during the height of the Pandemic, they left California and moved to South Dakota so that their daughters could go to school in person and without having to wear facemasks. Just yesterday, in the midterm elections, Manuel won one of the two South Dakota House District 2 seats. Why They Wrote the White Paper In early 2026 Susan Luschas gave a talk to a local group in South Dakota about the importance of cash in preventing the creation of a totalitarian control grid made possible through a large number of hyperscale data centers. Afterwards, a South Dakotan asked her why she is so sure that data centers are meant for surveillance and control. She gave him an answer - but she wasn't happy with it: "I told him: 'Because I worked in Silicon Valley and, between me and my husband, we've helped build these things.' "And then in hindsight, I realized that's not really a great answer. 'Believe me' is not really a great answer. "And then I thought, well, I can mathematically prove it to him. And we were in a room with a whiteboard, and I thought, I can mathematically prove this to him. And then I thought, it'd probably take me a bunch of assumptions that may not make sense to him. And it will take maybe an hour or two. "And then I thought, maybe instead I'll write a white paper and then I'll have it all referenced. He can see exactly where I got my numbers from for my assumptions. He can check my math and he can tell me where the math is wrong. "I know as a tech person that these numbers don't add up. We don't need this much data center processing power for our everyday."

"I have a son who's a doctor. If this had happened to him, he wouldn't be able to fight it. So I'm fighting for all those young doctors who can't afford to, who have a career they must protect." An Amazing Victory: Judge told Dr. Nass That She Can Sue Maine's Medical Board Members for Punitive Damages In August 2023, Dr. Meryl Nass sued the state of Maine's medical board in federal court for violating her free speech rights. She accused the board of using its power to "crush dissenting views and chill disfavored speech." Exactly three years later, in August of 2026, District Judge Lance Walker ordered her lawsuit to proceed after Maine's Medical Board tried to have it dismissed. Judge Walker gave Nass the right to sue the medical board members individually for going way beyond their official authority. And he also ruled that she can sue for the suspension of her medical license and for the loss of her first amendment right - freedom of speech. "If I win this case eventually, it will send a message to every board member: 'Don't you dare go outside your authority because you are not protected if you go beyond simply trying to protect patients in your state. If you decide to become a a punitive agency, a politicized agency, you are at risk yourself.' "The judge told me I could go after punitive damages, which means damages that are not based on the harm they did to me, but damages that are designed to stop them and other people from ever doing this again." Maine's medical board has already appealed. Nass told me: "Now we have to go back to court, and deal with their appeal. So it just means everything will take even longer." Why Dr. Nass Was Targeted Meryl Nass was one of the few doctors who, from the very beginning, dared to go against the system during the so-called Pandemic. Starting in 2020, she spoke up in many interviews against the pandemic madness and she prescribed her patients ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine against Covid-19. But those weren't the only reasons why the medical-industrial complex feared her enough to make her the poster child of what happens to a doctor who doesn't fall in line: "Not only did I challenge the [Covid] license, I was one of the few doctors in those days who knew anything about licensing vaccines. I mean, these are very arcane rules, but I had already been through it with the anthrax vaccine. "So I had unique knowledge. And when the COVID vaccine was licensed on August 23, 2020, I wrote an article with Mary Holland and Bobby Kennedy about it and what was wrong with the licensure and the article was published in The Defender. "It got more views than any other article that had ever been published in The Defender. And it knocked the server off for a while. "And I was advising people what they could use for legal challenges to the vaccinations. So that was another reason they probably wanted to go after me. "I'd been working with Bobby Kennedy, and I had co-written a citizen's petition to the FDA to try to stop the COVID vaccine. "And I had co-written a couple of lawsuits with children's health defense about trying to stop the Covid vaccine for children… and I think that people in Washington knew that I was a potentially powerful person because I had helped stop the anthrax vaccines. "There was a mandatory anthrax vaccine program in 1998. And in 2004 we got a judge to take away the license of the anthrax vaccine in part due to my work. And so I think they wanted to neuter me as early as possible." No wonder then that Dr. Nass was chosen to be the one that would be punished in a highly publicized way to intimidate a million doctors in the entire country. The Institution Chosen to Crush Nass and End Her Medical Career Was Maine's Medical Board Maine's Medical Board, the "Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine," was selected as the instrument to punish and humiliate Dr. Nass during something that amounted to a long-drawn out show trial. The members of Maine's Medical Board were the public faces of this trial but they were, in all likelihood, not the ones who had the real power and drove the decisions. In Maine, the members of the state's medical board are personally appointed by the Governor of the state and need not be confirmed by the state's senate. This is clearly not a great way to find just, brave and disinterested members for Maine's medical board. Dr. Nass told me: "A friend of mine knows Janet Mills and he was offered an appointment on a board at one point. So some of it goes to friends. "I think that it probably all goes to people who are yes men, who are known to go along, to do what they're told. It's not the members of the medical board, Nass said, but its large staff and the staff's overlords that really decide which doctors to persecute in order to bring an entire profession to heel. "While we focus on the board, because they are the ones who make decisions in the end, they are the ones who vote, what you have to realize is that they're backed up by about a dozen staff members or more who are employees of the state. "And they are the staff of the board. And some of them are doctors and lawyers. And they're really the ones who do all the work. They do the investigation, they produce the documents, they're the ones who probably made that appointment, with the neuropsychologist for me. "They already knew how the board was going to vote because they knew probably from before that whatever they tell the board, the board does. The Medical Board Members Were Rubber Stampers, Not Decision Makers In all likelihood, some high official in the Biden administration issued the order to take Nass out of the game. The staff received the order. They then prepared the show tribunal and instructed the board members what to do and how to vote. The medical board members were the rubber stampers - or rather the rubber voters: "And I would imagine that somebody in the Biden administration probably whispered in the ear of Maine's governor [Janet Mills], and she whispered in the ear of her staff, and that probably is what made it happen. "We know from some FOIA responses that the governor's chief of staff sent at least one or two emails mentioning me." "They handed me an appointment with a neuropsychologist. They'd already made the appointment before the meeting." In January of 2022, the Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine ordered Nass to undergo a neuropsychological evaluation and suspended her medical license. "I think it was January 11th of 2022, when the board first met in closed session for the first time to hear about my case, and then voted unanimously to immediately suspend me from the practice of medicine within 24 hours. "They handed me an appointment with a neuropsychologist. They'd already made the appointment before the meeting. And they said: 'Bring twenty one hundred dollars with you for the evaluation. I had to pay for it myself, yeah. And it was a lot of money. "They were hoping, I think somebody was hoping they would get a diagnosis that they could then use against me." Nass never underwent the neuropsychological evaluation. Her license remains suspended to this day. She hasn't been able to practice for almost 5 years. I asked what happened to her patients when her license was suspended from one day to the next. She said: "All patients immediately had to be told that my license had been suspended. "Every patient who sought me out for treatment of COVID or to get a prophylactic drug in case they got COVID, was doing it sort of word of mouth. Everybody knew they were seeking me out because they knew the government didn't want them to have these drugs. "And they had to use these very informal networks to find doctors who would be willing to treat them. So it wasn't a surprise really to the patients that my license was suspended for this. They knew that doctors were getting in trouble. "It was bad because not all my patients were Covid patients. I had old patients with chronic illnesses that needed care. But I couldn't provide it. "It was a bad situation, but there wasn't anything I could do about it. We just had to immediately shut everything down. My nurse had to call people up and cancel the appointments, explain what happened, and that was it. " I wound up paying rent on my office for more than a year because I kept thinking this is gonna blow over, but it didn't. "They wanted to make an example of me. And so nothing was going to blow over." Holding Government Officials Accountable for Their Actions to Stop Abuse of Power Now that Judge Walker gave Nass permission to sue Maine's medical board members individually, she will do exactly that. Children's Health Defense will help funding these lawsuits as they helped funding her 2023 lawsuit against Maine's medical board. Her 2023 lawsuit has cost about half a million dollars and suing individual board members will add another several hundred thousand dollars, she estimates. The only way to make it less likely that government officials (including members of state government boards like Medical Boards) abuse their power or go along with it without protesting is to hold them accountable, Nass said during the interview. "We have to make government officials accountable for their actions. "If they are made accountable, they will presumably act more thoughtfully and fairly. And if my case goes forward and I'll hopefully win, that will send a message to them, just like my case was designed to send a message to every doctor you dared to go against the system." "If I win this case eventually, it will send a message to every board member: 'Don't you dare go outside your authority because you are not protected if you go beyond trying to protect patients in your state. If you decide to become a punitive agency, a politicized agency, you are at risk yourself." "And the judge told me I could go after punitive damages, which means damages that are not based on the har

Each State Should Have Its Own Digital Bill of Rights It was James Madison who drafted the proposals that became the United States Bill of Rights. Madison introduced them in Congress in June of 1789 and Congress revised and proposed 12 amendments on September 25; the states ratified 10 of them in December 1791. Those 10 amendments are the Bill of Rights. Did Madison worry about forgetting something important while he drafted his proposals? Probably. But what he couldn't have foreseen is the digital and AI age with its vast possibilities of citizens' total surveillance, total control and total subjugation. Much surveillance and control has already been established over the last decades. For example automated license-plate readers, camera networks, location tracking, biometric monitoring, health databases, behavioral data collection, and vast commercial data sharing with government agencies. It's high time to reclaim lost rights and to prevent that people's unalienable rights are not wiped out by technocrats' use of artificial intelligence. Patrick Wood and Courtenay Turner Wrote a Model Digital Bill of Rights for the States Patrick Wood and Courtenay Turner decided to write a model amendment of a Digital Bill of Rights providing urgently needed protections against digital and AI tyranny over citizens. However, there is a crucial difference between their model Digital Bill of Rights and Madison's proposals: theirs' is not a federal Bill of Rights but one for the states. Each state, ideally, should have its own Digital Bill of Rights. Why? Because, Courtenay says, it's better to have fifty firewalls than just one: "It is much harder to co-opt fifty individual states than it is to co-opt the central federal apparatus. "And so the hope is that through the 50 states we can start to set a precedence one at a time and there will be a ripple effect throughout where people know other states and can start to model this." Courtenay already proposed the model amendment for a Digital Bill of Rights to lawmakers in her home state Tennessee. The process, she learnt, would take until 2030 to achieve ratification as a constitutional amendment. That's why she is currently working on drafting four so-called "bridge bills" for the upcoming legislative session in Tennessee. The idea is that these bills would put key protections in place much sooner and bridge the years until ratification. The Metaphysics of the Declaration of Independence How does one go about writing a model Digital Bill of Rights? Patrick Wood, Courtenay told me, wrote the first draft: "He did a phenomenal job. But I felt what was really missing was the metaphysical firewall. And to me, that is the bulwark. And that is why the Declaration of Independence was drafted. "I think mostly what we've lost, in particular in our education system, but even in our civic arena, is that most of the elected officials don't have a true understanding of the metaphysics of the declaration of independence." She argues rights must come from a source higher than any government or company, as is the case in the Declaration of Independence. Otherwise, whoever grants a right can take it back, for any reason and at any time. The idea that rights come from a creator is therefore the metaphysical firewall that makes humans' rights unalienable, including humans' digital rights in the age of AI. "It has to be primordial, it has to be outside of this world. Otherwise, anybody who grants you rights can easily revoke them." But "unalienable" doesn't mean that such rights can't be lost. We all know very well that they can be lost if people don't defend them - and not just incrementally and almost imperceptibly but from one day to the next as during Covid. "We need to stand up for our own rights. They are unalienable, but we need to ensure that they're not taken away." The 15 Articles in the Model Digital Bill of Rights for the States Patrick and Courtenay's model amendment consists of the following fifteen articles: Source of Rights Definitions Foundational Principles Personhood and Mental Privacy Digital Privacy and Surveillance Data Control and Deletion AI in Government Property and Cash Digital Identity Consent of the Governed Free Expression Foreign Threats Digital Due Process Oversight and Transparency Interpretation and Future Technology Let's Use the Agency We Still Have Many people today feel overwhelmed and powerless faced with the extraordinarily rapid developments in AI. But Courtenay hopes that the model amendment will inspire people and show them a realistic path to establish control over AI instead of being controlled and consumed by it. She said during the interview: "There's so much apathy and people have just completely given up on the system. And I'm not saying that our system isn't flawed or corrupt. I I think it's both. "But I still think we have a lot of agency and people should utilize the agency that we have. You can't complain about the system when you're not taking action. So I really encourage people. I hope that this Digital Bill of Rights inspires them. "And I hope there are people who have the time and the desire, who will take action. And I hope that this [document] can be a guideline and an inspiration for them." Introduce Your Lawmakers to the Digital Bill of Rights If you're one of those who have the time and the desire, please contact your state's lawmakers and introduce them to Courtenay's and Patrick's model Digital Bill of Rights. I'll do a second interview with Courtenay about the Digital Bill of Rights where she will discuss the feedback she received from her Tennessee lawmakers and from lawyers she consulted. She will also talk about the details of the amendment process and the "bridge bills" she is currently working on.

Nothing Was Developed at "Warp Speed" During Operation Warp Speed. It Was Recycled Failed Research That Was Behind the Warp Speed Illusion. Operation Warp Speed was a PSYOP directed against the American people. Nothing was being developed at warp speed during Operation Warp Speed. That wasn't necessary since all the required technology for the toxic mRNA shots had already been developed since the SARS and MERS outbreaks in 2002 and 2012. This is not a new or surprising insight: The strange fact that the first clinical trials for the new, so-called vaccines started almost immediately after Covid-19 was declared a pandemic suggests exactly this. They sold it as "warp speed" and as "acceleration" but that's a lie: the basic "vaccines" and their technology already existed. They simply repackaged previously failed vaccine research from earlier SARS, MERS, and also Zika vaccine attempts and pushed the resulting toxic mRNA shots on the population using emergency rules that bypass FDA's usual safety laws.

"The best thing that we can do today is refuse to comply with the digital control grid. And the way we do that is by paying with cash every day." —Susan Luschas Fighting the Digital Control Grid with Cash "The only hope we have to keep our freedom is mass noncompliance. "And I think one of the best things, in fact, the best thing in my opinion that we can do today is refuse to comply with the digital control grid. "And the way we do that is by paying with cash every day." Susan Luschas holds a PhD in electrical engineering from MIT and worked on some of the earliest Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and camera chips used in smartphones. Later she moved into the energy sector where she worked on electromagnetic energy generation and storage. She also taught as a professor at Santa Clara University. Susan and her husband Manuel Luschas left Silicon Valley in 2020 during the so-called pandemic and moved to a small town in South Dakota so that their two daughters could attend school in person, unmasked. Freezing Bank Accounts of Canadian Truckers Was a Wakeup Call In early 2022, the Canadian government invoked the Emergencies Act and ordered banks to freeze the bank accounts of truckers organizing the Canadian Freedom Convoy. For at least a week, the bank accounts of around 300 people with about 8 million Canadian dollars in them were frozen. That, Luschas said, was a real wakeup call for many people, including herself. Truckers were left stranded in Ottawa. Many had no cash on them and could buy neither food nor drink. They could not pay for their hotels and could not buy gas for their trucks to drive home. Luschas told me: "They let the cat out of the bag with freezing their bank accounts because then people got a whiff of it: this is possible, they might do this. "And thank God they did that to the Canadian truckers because that was a lesson and kind of a wake-up call to a lot of people. "And I think they learned after that 'Ooh, people are getting suspicious. We better not snap the mouse trap until we're really ready to snap it on everybody.'" "Team Cash" Promotes the Use of Physical Cash Luschas founded the group "Team Cash" which promotes the use of physical cash as pushback against moving toward centrally-controlled payment systems and programmable money systems. She led the effort behind South Dakota's legislation demanding that schools must accept cash at school events like sport games after local school districts moved to cashless ticketing. Catherine Austin Fitts's Solari Report named her 2025 Hero of the Year for her work promoting the use of cash. The Power of Cash to Fight a Digital Control Grid "It's entirely possible today to control us. It's just we don't have the infrastructure to control everybody all of the time. "Once they have the infrastructure to control all of us, they will." Cash, Luschas told me during the interview, is the only form of money that can't easily be frozen, tracked, or shut off remotely, in contrast to bank accounts, credit cards, or crypto wallets. She believes paying with cash every day, in particular for groceries and gas, is a practical and easy way for people to resist a fully digital, centrally controlled financial system. Luschas recommends keeping about three months' worth of cash at home for emergencies like power outages, cyberattacks or freezing of your bank accounts. "And I think if you're someone like me who's potentially putting a bullseye on your back, then you might want to have more like six months." Cash, she says, does not only block financial control but also all the surveillance data needed to power and finetune that control. Are There Backdoors into Cash? Even cash, Luschas says, has backdoors through which cash can be controlled but in contrast to digital payment methods these backdoors are cumbersome and not easily built. "There are serial numbers and some things on cash that can be identified. "I'm sure if they put enough effort into it, they could identify the cash and identify that Susan has that cash and is going to spend it and they want to stop her from spending it. "I think that's entirely possible, but at this moment in time they are not tracking cash and we have a chance to push back and to send a message by all using cash all the time. So I think we have an opportunity. "Will they eventually put chips into money or more tracking, better tracking? They may even put QR codes on cash eventually. I don't know." But for now, there is no backdoor into cash. And that is our opportunity to resist perfecting the digital control grid by not letting go of cash. "It's entirely possible that there's things they could do, but at this moment in time, we have the opportunity to send a very loud message that we will not comply with the digital control grid." Utopia Movie — a Horror Movie of Life inside the Digital Control Grid During the interview we watch Kosta Nika's short and powerful sci-fi film from 2021 about life inside a totalitarian control grid.

"Health data is gold. They can slice and dice it. They can sell the products of their slicing and dicing. They can use it to create treatment protocols to control the doctors." —Twila Brase Twila Brase is a registered nurse (RN Registered nurse and PHN Public Health nurse) who co-founded and serves as president of the Citizens' Council for Health Freedom (CCHF). In 2018, Brase published the book Big Brother in the Exam Room: The Dangerous Truth about Electronic Health Records. That is also the topic of our discussion. "Once the government has grabbed all the data, then they have the ability to control the doctors, control the hospitals and profile the patients." Government certified electronic health record systems are not simply record bookkeeping systems. The term is deeply misleading because they are way more than that. In Twila Brase's book "Big Brother in the Exam Room," she quotes Scott Silverstein, a physician who is an authority in health IT. He called EHR systems "medical meta devices." In 2018 already he said that these systems are not anything resembling electronic filing cabinets, but that they are way, way more. He called them "enterprise-wide command and control systems through which all medical transactions have to pass. Controlling clinicians and clinical resources. They are beyond just a medical device. They are really command and control systems." Brase said: "Being certified for the government means that the electronic health record has to do what the government says it has to do." Many doctors in the United States already had some version of private electronic records before the introduction of Government certified ones. And they worked quite well since such private patient record databases were designed for doctors' practical needs only and were based on doctors' requirements. They had nothing to do with government's goals and desires. But this changed completely with the introduction of government certified EHRs under Obama in [check]. Twila Base told me: "Once the government has grabbed all the data, then they have the ability to control the doctors, control the hospitals, profile the patients. One of the things we say in our organization is 'he who holds the data makes the rules.'" True. And controlling doctors and nurses is a surefire way to turn them into killers, making them into the state's instrument of eliminating part of its population. Also, governments love getting their hands on as much data as they can since their appetite to make rules and lord over their citizens is very hard to restrain and since their voracious appetite increases in proportion to the growing amount of data available through new technologies. If massive amounts of data can be used as an easy gateway to control and command citizens, then those in power will almost by default be driven to get access to as much data as they possibly can. The amount of medical data available to governments is growing exponentially: one example are the data from so-called ambient listening devices that by now have been installed in many doctors' offices. This means that an AI app is recording and transcribing everything that is being said in the exam room - whether the doctor or nurse is present or not. All this data is stored with the patient's records and can be accessed by a vast number of people, including about 1.5 million of third parties, called "business associates of covered entities." HIPAA, Brase explains, is not there to protect your privacy but to share data with about 700,000 "covered entities" and their business associates.

"It's amazing to see how the trajectory of the care being provided to the patient changes once they know that you have a professional advocacy service on board. They start changing everything." https://flashlightsproductions.substack.com/p/never-enter-a-hospital-without-an?utm_source=youtube This is my second interview with Kimberly Overton. In our first interview, Overton talked about the horrifying events she witnessed as a critical care nurse during Covid in a hospital in Hendersonville, Tennessee. All except two of the hundreds of Covid patients she witnessed being put on ventilators died. Nonetheless, the treatment protocols remained unchanged. To this day, ventilators and Remdesivir are protected as medical countermeasures under the PREP Act that was declared for Covid-19 (and ends only in December 2029). Overton quit her job in protest against the hospital killings and founded the organization "The Nurse Freedom Network" in the summer of 2021. Later, in 2022, she founded Remnant Healthcare, a private membership association that provides nursing and also patient advocacy services. According to its website, its mission is to "provide compassionate, patient-centered healthcare services using holistic modalities and a root cause approach." Patient advocacy services is what we are talking about in our second interview: What are they? Why are they needed? And why is it that everyone should have an advocacy plan in place well before setting foot into a hospital?

"The patient was not speaking to her doctor. The patient was speaking to Anthony Fauci and the government… It was a horrible betrayal. It was an awful betrayal." James Thorp "There is strong evidence that the rollout of the vaccines for pregnant women was pre-planned, like the pandemic." This is the first part of a three-part interview with Dr. James Thorp about his and co-author's Celia Farber's book "Sacrifice: How the Deadliest Vaccine in History Targeted the Most Vulnerable." Dr. Thorp specializes in maternal and fetal medicine and treats women with high risk pregnancies. He has forty-seven years of clinical experience. In the first part of our interview he discusses how the federal government weaponized the three big OBGYN professional organizations (ACOG, ABOG and SMFM) as transmission belts for government orders to compel America's tens of thousands of obstetricians and gynecologists to push the toxic mRNA Covid shots on pregnant women. ACOG, ABOG and SMFM, Dr. Thorp told me, "are supposed to be a non-governmental organizations... The government weaponized these independent organizations and used them to do their dirty work." ABOG, ACOG and SMFM Became the Willing Executioners of Government Commands That Were Harmful or Deadly for the Unborn How were these three large and powerful professional organizations weaponized? With a flood of money, billions of federal dollars. From not recommending the shots to pregnant women at the end of 2020, all three medical OBGYN organizations quickly pivoted to strongly recommending them in July of 2021 and shortly after, in the fall of 2021, threatening OBGYN doctors with the loss of their medical certifications if they refused to go along. Thorp said: "It was around December of 2020. The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal and Fetal Medicine, they all said we're never gonna push the vaccine in pregnancy. "We're not gonna do that… "Now those same three societies did a complete 180. They decided to push it, push the vaccine in pregnant women. "But look what happened in April of 2021. They received $13 billion from HHS through the project called CCC, the COVID-19 Community Corps. Around the same time, in the spring of 2021, major medical journals also began promoting the vaccine in pregnant women - despite the fact that there were no safety data and despite the fact that over 80% of Pfizer's pregnant clinical trial participants whose pregnancy was followed lost their unborn children. The American Board of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Has Enormous Leverage Over America's and Canada's OBGYN Doctors ABOG, which is a non-profit organization, does not issue OBGYN licenses. Issuing medical licenses is the job of state medical boards. ABOG does something else: It certifies OB-GYN physicians in the US and Canada. Such board certification is voluntary and, at least in theory, a doctor doesn't strictly need it in order to practice. However, the reality is different: Hospital credentialing committees often require certification (or "board eligible" status) to grant admitting/surgical privileges. Malpractice insurers may decline or complicate coverage for uncertified specialists. Health insurance networks frequently require certification for in-network reimbursement. Employers, especially hospital systems and large practices, typically mandate it as a condition of employment. In other words, without ABOG certifications, OBGYN doctors are severely limited in the way they can practice their professions. Therefore, ABOG has huge leverage over all OBGYN doctors in the United States and Canada. The Federation of State Medical Boards Threatens Doctors with Loss of License; ABOG Threatens Doctors with Loss of Certification In September of 2021, ABOG sent an email to its 62,000 members threatening them with the loss of their certifications if they spread "misinformation" - without ever qualifying what such misinformation actually constitutes. Here is the first sentence of the email where ABOG declares that it "fully supports" a statement published by the FSMB, the Federation of State Medical Boards. These medical boards, as explained further up, license doctors and therefore have even greater leverage over doctors than ABOG: "The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) fully supports the statement published by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) that asserts that providing misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine contradicts physicians' ethical and professional responsibilities, and therefore may subject a physician to disciplinary actions, including suspension or revocation of their medical license." Here is the the FSMB's statement that ABOG is referring to in its fall 2021 email: "Physicians who generate and spread COVID-19 vaccine misinformation or disinformation are risking disciplinary action by state medical boards, including the suspension or revocation of their medical license." Dr. Thorp told me the following about ABOG's infamous email: "There's a threatening email. And, by the way, the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology deleted this email. "They deleted it because when you read the language, it was literally like Adolf Hitler or you know, Mao Tse-tung: 'You will do this. You will not spread disinformation.' "This email was sent to sixty-two thousand OBGYN doctors in Canada, the United States of America, and some countries in South America. 62,000 OBGYN doctors. "Dr. George Wendel was the executive director of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, at that time. "And by the way, I've been highly regarded by all of those organizations. I was an examiner for the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology at around the turn of the century. So these were my colleagues. I was a senior examiner. "I was given awards by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. The Society of Maternal Field Medicine, I was given many research awards. I was on their board of directors for a three-year term at the turn of the century. Doctors' Response to ABOG's Email: Deadly Silence, Betrayal of Pregnant Women and Their Unborn Babies I asked Thorp how doctors' reacted to ABOG's outrageous email which tried to force doctors to break their Hippocratic oath and betray their patients. The reaction was "dead silence" he said: "Dead silence. They saluted. They bowed. They wanted to continue collecting their paychecks and be good servants… "We talked about it [the email] and a lot of people were really upset, but nobody would raise their hand. "You gotta remember when you get a letter from the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, you do what you're told to do and you don't step out of line. And they didn't. Now, there's a few other obstetricians around the country that agreed with me, but they've told me that I'm the only maternal fetal medicine physician in the country who spoke out. Instead of advocating on behalf of their pregnant as well as not pregnant or not yet pregnant patients and warning them against taking the shots, most OBGYN doctors, according to Dr. Thorp, abused the trust of their patients and convinced huge numbers of pregnant women to take the shots - and take them at any time during their pregnancy, including during the most vulnerable first trimester. Thorp told me during the interview: "My definition of totalitarian state is when most of the citizens of a state know it's a lie, but they remain silent. And that's exactly where the United States of America is right now. You know, they're still pushing the COVID nineteen vaccine." Dr. Thorp Responded to ABOG's Email. He never received a Reply. In January of 2022, Thorp sent a long response to ABOG's email in which he cites over one thousand studies documenting harms of the shots and challenges ABOG to a public debate: "I invited the board to have me come down and present the data. I challenged everybody on the board of directors of ABOG to debate me". In his book 'Sacrifice," he writes: My online ninety-eight-page letter included 1,019 peer-reviewed medical journal publications—in just twelve months—that documented injuries and deaths after the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines. Let that sink in: 1,019 peer-reviewed medical journal articles in just twelve months after rollout of this lethal, injurious shot. And here is the beginning of his reply to ABOG's threatening email: "Couched in bullying language, ABOG's Statement Regarding Dissemination of COVID-19 Misinformation begs critically important questions for both constituents and patients alike. "These questions are intrinsic to a physician's ability to treat patients free from conflict of interest over fear of reprisal from ABOG (or others). Even more important, these questions concern matters essential to safeguarding and protecting maternal and fetal health and well-being, and are essential to upholding the physician's oath to do no harm. "First, what constitutes that which ABOG deems "misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine"? Second, by whom and how is such "misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine" determined? "ABOG's Statement Regarding Dissemination of COVID-19 Misinformation fails to provide answers to these questions and also fails to acknowledge the growing body of scientific, peer-reviewed evidence that the experimental mRNA and DNA gene therapy injections are a failed strategy that have killed, injured, and endangered many. "ABOG's widely circulated Statement Regarding Dissemination of COVID-19 Misinformation has placed patients' health in jeopardy while leaving constituents holding the proverbial bag as their medical license and livelihood hang in the balance. "Patient safety is sacrificed as constituents toe the line—forced to choose between pushing experimental gene therapies shown to be dangerous to bo

Festus is a small town thirty-five miles south to St. Louis, Missouri. About a year ago and unbeknownst to Festus' 14,000 residents, the town's city council started secretly meeting with real estate developer CRG to discuss building a massive 360-acre hyperscale data center in a wooded area in Festus. The North American real estate firm CRG is the real estate development arm of the construction company Clayco. Bob Clark is Clayco's founder. Lori Merriman, who lives in Festus, became a leading force in the town's fight against the data center. She told me that it took three to four months before citizens in Festus got wind of what was happening behind the scenes. Once they did, they turned up in force to the next council meeting where the mayor and councilmen told them not to worry and that the whole scenario with the data center was completely hypothetical. Just two days later, the city council voted unanimously to approve the rezoning of a large woodland area to allow for the construction of a hyperscale data center called "Festus Campus." The fight was on. Battles have been waging since November 2025 and they will continue for an unforeseeable time.

"We the people have been completely taken out. Did you vote for Pax Silica? I don't remember voting for Pax Silica. This wasn't on my list." Pax Silica - Silicon Peace: America's Claim to Global AI Hegemony Ever heard about Pax Silica? Probably not. But it's up there together with Pax Romana and Pax Britannica. At least that's the claim and the intent of those who launched the Pax Silica initiative in December of 2025. Eras are usually declared after the fact. The Pax Romana was declared more than a thousand years after it happened. Not so Pax Silica: it's an announcement of an era that is in the process of being created right now - or at least that's the hope of Pax Silica's architects. Eras used to be named after geographic locations. Not Pax Silica. It's named for the material that functions as a semiconductor and that enables AI control systems. Humans as Nodes Inside an AI Based "Security Economy" In our interview, Courtenay Turner argues that this Silicon Peace era is creating global control systems that turn human beings into data "nodes" within a programmable "security economy." The traditional concept of autonomous citizens with individual rights is disappearing; humans will have no meaningful say in the AI governed world of Pax Silica.

Both Haviland and Pathologist Ryan Cole Talked to Bhattacharya About the White Fibrous Clots Tom Haviland: "I've called Jay at his own home and I've got Jay's home phone number. They know about the clots." Cornelia: "So when you called Bhattacharya, did you actually talk to him?" Tom: "Yeah, it was a Saturday night, so I didn't want to keep Jay too long. It was back in August of last year. And I just wanted to let him know… In fact, it was shortly after I returned from the 2025 Tennessee Funeral Directors Association convention. Remember, I captured on video footage the eighteen of twenty-eight embalmers in that room raising their hands saying they were seeing the clots. "I said, Jay, I just want to make sure you're aware that that that's what happened. You know, I got invited to speak to this convention because these embalmers and funeral directors are very concerned about this issue that they're still seeing. And I just want to make sure you're aware of it." "He says, I'm aware of it. And he also mentioned that he had talked to Dr. Ryan Cole, the pathologist. And Ryan of course had received very early on some of these sample cloths from Richard Hirschman. And Ryan had examined them and determined that they were amyloid or amyloid like at that time. "So that was the extent of the conversation."   Haviland Sent the Results of His Annual Embalmer Surveys to Federal Health Agencies Every Year Since 2022, Tom Haviland has been doing yearly surveys asking embalmers if they are see white fibrous clots in the bodies they embalm and, if so, in which percentage of bodies they find them. He has sent the results of his yearly surveys to the federal health agencies every single year. The CDC, FDA and NIH know exactly what is going on with these white clots. Nonetheless, to the best of my knowledge there hasn't been a single grant given by the NIH under Bhattacharya's leadership to research the white clots, what causes their formation, what they consist of, and what can be done to help people get rid of them. The 2026 budget of the NIH is gargantuan: almost $50 billion (to be precise: $47.22 billion). No grant money nor even a proper acknowledgment of the new phenomenon of these fibrous clots. When it comes to the mRNA Covid shots that have caused and continue to cause such immense harm among Americans and the world's population in general, you only get lies, denials or simply silence. This is typical human behavior of people who have blood on their hands but were able to stay in power after committing mass atrocities and crimes against humanity on an unprecedented scale - across the entire world population, billions of people. Why Haven't RFK Junior and Bhattacharya Resigned? However, it's haunting that those who had shown great courage, common sense, integrity and persistence during the terrible years of the pseudo pandemic, people like RFK Junior and Jay Bhattacharya, fell mostly silent once they joined the ranks of those with blood on their hands. They didn't resign in protest once they realized they were simply puppets in a power game of hardened people that fear truth, justice and accountability and will do whatever it takes to avoid what in German is called Wiedergutmachung" - which literally means "making good again" (as far as that is even possible). Do RFK and Bhattacharya not realize that they are risking to become complicit with the criminals by not distancing themselves from them to a far greater degree than they have done? Germans know all about Wiedergutmachung of course. And for good reason. But when American leaders commit crimes against humanity, a very different yardstick is used to measure the crimes they committed against American citizens. And no wonder: those "leaders", the perpetrators, remained in power. They survived the carnage that they visited upon their own people. They still hold the strings of immense power. How do they live with the mass crimes they committed and the mass deaths and disease they caused? Those Responsible for the Carnage Silence Those Who Speak Up About It - to This Day in order to survive with their power and wealth intact, the perpetrators must silence those who speak out for as long as they possibly can and ideally forever. During our interview, Haviland gave me a few recent examples of silencing: one embalmer, Dana Goodell, and a vascular surgeon. First Goodell's story: "Mr. Danny Goodell from the Iowa Funeral Directors Association, he went on a show with me with Maria Zeee. He agreed to do the interview with me and he talked about seeing the white fibers clots in his corpses for the last five years. "And Dana's been in embalming, by the way, for 37 years. So he's well respected. Like I said, he he actually travels around like Wallace Hooker does and gives tips of the trade to other embalmers at conventions and things. "But what was interesting is a week after we went on Maria Zeee's show, I got a call from Dana. And Dana said, 'Tom, I don't think I can go on any more shows with you.' "I said, 'Why not, Dana?' He said, 'Well, I'm getting some flack.' "I said, 'Well, who are you getting flack from?' He says, 'I'm getting flack from my Iowa Funeral Directors Association. In fact, I'm getting ready to go on a Zoom call tomorrow where I'm going to get reprimanded for going on that show with you on Maria Zeee last week.' "And I said, 'Dana, you did nothing wrong. All you did was go on her show and tell the truth about what you were seeing in your own embalming room.' And here the story of the vascular surgeon who in 2025 told Tom that he's pulling white fibrous clots out of patients' vascular systems every week: "I communicated with an endovascular specialist and cardiologist from Jacksonville, Florida, who's been removing these same white fibers class from living people for the last five years in his cat lab. But then he cut off communications with me about a month after we first made contact, saying, 'Tom, I've been instructed to terminate communications immediately.' No doubt, this highly specialized surgeon would have been fired from his job had he refused to terminate communications with Tom. Ruining a man's life, or for that matter a million men's lives, is just par for the course for our killer class. Preprints.org Declines Publication of Haviland's Paper Tom Haviland decided to write up a scientific paper, together with Dr. Daniel Santiago and Laura Kasner from the Clotastrophe substack, about the four embalmer surveys he conducted from 2022 to 2025. The idea here was to get the attention of scientists once a phenomenon like the white fibrous clots appears in a respected scientific journal. When I interviewed him, more than 48 hours had passed already since he had submitted his paper to the Preprints.org platform as a first step to getting picked up by a scientific journal. Preprint.org describes itself in the following way: "Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform providing preprint service that is dedicated to making early versions of research outputs permanently available and citable. "We post original research articles and comprehensive reviews, and papers can be updated by authors as long as the updated content has not been published online. "Content on Preprints.org is not peer-reviewed and can receive feedback from readers." So far, so good. They accept papers across all sorts of research topics without requiring peer review. Excellent idea to share one's research and get feedback on it without going through the lengthy and rather corrupt process of peer review. Usually it takes between 24 to 48 hours to get uploaded to Preprints.org once a paper has been submitted. Not so in Tom's case. Forty-eight hours passed - and no response. Another day passed and then he received the message that his paper about the fibrous clots had been declined. No reason given. According to Preprints.org, White Fibrous Clots Are of No Significance Haviland then emailed Joan Guo, the editor, for an explanation why his paper had been declined. He got a remarkable response in which Guo told him that papers are selected for publication according to two criteria: novelty and general significance. Which means that Guo does NOT consider the white fibrous clots a new phenomenon and, furthermore, a phenomenon that is significant. It's unlikely that this is in fact her opinion. It's much more likely that she caved to the spoken or unspoken demands of the perpetrator class and did what she felt she needed to do to keep Preprints.org in good standing and ensure its survival. Tom's comment was that this is a slap in the face of all those who died of the clots and the unknown, and likely huge number of people, in whose bodies they are presently forming. The perpetrator class is as powerful and dangerous now, and likely even more so, than it was during the so-called Pandemic. The Journal That Dared to Publish Haviland's Paper But the arm of the perpetrator class is only so long, it doesn't reach everywhere. There is a journal that dared to pick up Haviland's paper detailing the insights gained from his four embalmer surveys. This magazine is called "The International Journal of Innovative Research in Medical Science", abbreviated IJIRMS. The journal was founded in 2016 and is an open-access, peer-reviewed medical journal that publishes original research across all areas of medical and clinical science. You probably won't be surprised to hear that it's not based in the United States: it's based in India. It's the same journal that also just published a paper by Greg Harrison and his research team about insights into the character of the white clots via Raman spectroscopy: Raman spectroscopic Characterization of Anomalous Intravascular Fibrous Casts: Evidence for Stage-Dependent β-sheet Enriched Protein Maturation. This is how the Journal describes its mission: "The International Journal of Innovative Research in Medical S

White Clots Removed from Bodies Still Trigger Protein Misfolding Three Months Later  https://flashlightsproductions.substack.com/p/the-body-cannot-dissolve-them-scientists?utm_source=youtube "This is truly groundbreaking" —Greg Harrison "We had to find a lab, we had to fund it ourselves. It's all out of our own pocket… "We have forensic grade proof that the material is amyloid like… The proteins have not merely lost their native fold, they have adopted a new thermodynamically stable architecture. "Data is data and facts are facts. And these are facts. So all we can do is present the facts… "We challenge people. If you disagree with it, you go and rerun the work, you go and get the Raman analysis and prove us wrong." Greg Harrison is an organic chemist based in Sydney, Australia. For the past two years, he has been working with a small international team of scientists analyzing unusual white, rubbery, fibrous clots found inside the blood vessels of deceased people — and also in living people. These white clots began appearing in corpses in late spring 2021, shortly after the mRNA vaccine rollout began, and they are still being found today. Embalmers were the first to notice them; vascular surgeons have since found them in living patients as well. Greg's team now believes these white clots are amyloid or amyloid-like which means that they consist of misfolded proteins that have locked into a rigid, crystalline structure. Amyloidosis is a group of diseases that are caused by misfolded proteins building up in organs, including the brain. Alzheimer's is one of them, Lewy body diseases another. Greg told me that there are 36 known different types of amyloidosis in total and that the white clots are a completely new type of amyloidosis: a blood-borne systemic amyloidosis, never seen before. Traditional amyloidosis develops slowly over decades. But this white clot amyloidosis develops much faster, namely within months. These white structures were seen by embalmers in corpses for the first time in spring of 2021, just months after the mRNA Covid mass injection campaign had begun.
