  1. just a comment on pharmacys refusing to fill ivermectin and hydroxycloroquin. They have to follow board of pharmacy rules and the BOP are being told by state Governors and Attorney generals not to fill these meds for Covid. Just FYI

    1. This is a short article that highlights some of the problems tying pharmacists’ hands.
      https://thetexan.news/pharmacy-board-loosens-restrictions-on-hydroxychloroquine-prescriptions-reversing-course/

      Medical associations, State board of Pharmacy, and national chain pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens, etc. are issuing restrictions on the dispensing of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and ivermectin (IVM). Pharmacists working for such chains are in a tough spot. I would not want to be in their place.
      However, pharmacists in locally-owned, mom-and-pop pharmacies may have the independence to dispense without those restrictions. Perhaps they are less likely to be policed by state boards.
      We asked one pharmacist in our local family-owned pharmacy if they have any problem dispensing HCQ or IVM. He said no, they’re not policing those drugs.

      There has never ever been a problem dispensing these or any other drugs for off-label use. Typically, pharmacists will call the physician if they are concerned about its safe use for a particular patient, as part of their due-diligence in dispensing.

    2. Yes, They have to deny a treatment that will help folks in order to keep people sick and fuel the narrative. I was denied hydroxycloroquin last year[WA State] when I was “cooked” from “COVID”. They said I needed to be in the hospital on a respirator in order to get it! I spoke with a fellow co-worker who had been hospitalized with COVID last year and about 1 hour after receiving Ivermectin he felt better and recovered quickly.

      1. people need to wake up and realize this is Murder. There is no other way to put it. PUrposefully and knowingly withholding a medication from a patient that has been proven to treat and cure a patient is beyond malpractice. We are talking about a genocide event…. a mass extermination even that has been on track for a year and a half. I cannot even believe there are people out there who have had their loved ones murdered over withholding of treatment and those people don’t get up and go down to their governor’s office and camp out and refuse to leave until these medical boards and so-called Doctors are arrested and charged with murder.
        It really is that simple. There is no way to sugar-coat this. People need to realize, it’s too horrible to even admit to youself what is actually going on. But you have to go there! You have to or this murder will continue on and worse, We are in a war with China…. a covert biowar………… multi-faceted war, infiltrated at ever single point in our country up and down the power structure and we are being slaughtered.

  2. Del interviewed Dr. Zelenko on the Highwire 8/2. Dr. Z. does not mince words. Must watch, imho.

  3. I know there was some speculation in the latest M&M report about the motives behind the resignations at the FDA. Here is one version, though I don’t know how plausible it is or if it’s just a cover for something else. I, too, am suspicious about things, Catherine, now more than ever.

    From Endpoint News, a Biotech News website, which allegedly first reported the story:
    “A former senior FDA leader told Endpoints that they’re departing because they’re frustrated that CDC and their ACIP committee are involved in decisions that they think should be up to the FDA. The former FDAer also said he’s heard they’re upset with CBER director Peter Marks for not insisting that those decisions should be kept inside FDA. What finally did it for them was the White House getting ahead of FDA on booster shots.”

  4. I got a report from someone working for a big box store (I won’t name them:) She stood up to their vaccine mandate, claiming a religious exemption. It went to the top, came back and she was approved, as she should be. The interesting part is they told her they know the mandates are illegal but since she was the only one asserting her rights, they are going forward with their mandate.

    Call the bluff – employers cannot mandate any medical procedure. They’re trying to go through employers because federal government has no authority – none. States cannot mandate because they cannot deprive individuals of life, liberty or property without due process of law. The last thing they want to do is debate this publicly, in legislatures or the courts because they don’t have the facts or the law on their side. We have the advantage if only people knew it.

  5. Catherine and John,

    Here’s a dot to connect. Hurricane Ida made landfall on Port Fourchon on the 15th anniversary of Katrina. August 29, 2005! Interesting, no?

    A couple of weeks ago I saw a map of trading partners for the States. Louisiana’s largest export partner was listed as Russia. I found that very interesting at the time and when I saw Ida flying up the coast I though, here we go again. Today I cannot find that map but Business Insider has LA’s number one export partner as Saudi Arabia. Same difference when it comes to trade with Russia and the Petrochem industrial trade.

    2. In August 2016 most parishes in central/south Louisiana had a 1000 year flood, including the capital city, Baton Rouge. Yes, 1000 year. Places never seen to flood were flooded. The highest rainfall was measured at 31.39 inches from the stationary system. It seems time to wake up to the climate control issue.

  6. Anglo Irish Bank : lending money to buy shares ….
    Three former executives of Anglo Irish Bank were charged in July 2012 with unlawfully helping a group of investors to buy shares in the lender in 2008, falsely inflating the share price before the …..
    The Anglo Irish Bank hidden loans controversy (also known as the circular transactions controversy) began in Dublin in December 2008 when Seán FitzPatrick, the chairman of Anglo Irish Bank (the state’s third-largest bank), admitted he had hidden a total of €87 million in loans from the bank, triggering a series of incidents which led to the eventual nationalisation of Anglo on 21 January 2009.

  7. Hi
    Thanks just enjoyed this weeks episode, we had some crazy floods in Europe a few weeks ago, they were the consequence of three factors and might explain the extreme flooding mentioned.
    Consistent onshore moist winds, an increased temperature, for every extra degree celsius air can carry an extra 7% of water. The real damage was a weather wedge that trapped the moist air over Belgium and Germany were it carried on dumping for over 12 hours rather than moving on.
    Caution, I have no specialist knowledge I just picked this up online, so check before quoting.
