Dear Reader, Last week I wrote about the Riverina State, a concept that seeks to improve the representation of rural New South Wales and Victorian voters. That wasn’t the only major takeaway from the conference. Another was building a connection with the Australian Medical Professionals Society (AMPS). This society comprises doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals that the mainstream medical community sidelined in the last four years. They’re currently delving into the validity of lockdowns and vaccine mandates. The Society has delivered many publications, some of which I’ve studied. And… I’ve started participating in analysing the data. In particular, I’m going down the trail of the ‘numbers game’ that the medical and healthcare establishment played to set the narrative and put in place certain mandates. While the establishment owns the prevailing narrative, I believe that they’ve overplayed their hand. Not only that, their deceit is catching up with them. I’ll talk about that today. Most of you know I’ve penned articles in the last three years expressing my doubts and outrage at how the medical and healthcare industry betrayed the people’s trust. My earlier articles discussed the government overreach and the excesses it committed during the global virus outbreak. I expressed my doubts about the accuracy of the instruments, the logic behind the emergency measures and whether ulterior motives exist, such as using fear to control the population. As time passed, I shared with you some findings from my analyses (or by others) that suggests the possibility of malfeasance by the authorities and the pharmaceutical companies. This included the admission by a Pfizer executive to the European Union Parliament in October 2022 that it had rushed the trials and release of its mRNA experimental drug. Since the global rollout, it has received mixed response especially as adverse side effects mount. Another is the ‘Twitter Files’ that revealed a coordinated campaign to censor dissenting opinions and suppress studies that went against their narrative. It involved the World Health Organization, government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, mainstream media outlets, social media platforms and the medical research community. I’ve also shown you the journal articles that hid the truth in plain sight. The results in these articles either don’t match the conclusions or the authors omit points that may counter their message. Tide turned, backlash building The prevailing narrative is that the mRNA drugs were 100% safe and effective, masks stopped the spread, and claims of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin being effective alternative treatments are false. However, time has passed and this narrative is crumbling fast. With every big lie, there comes a time of reckoning. You often will see signs of the backlash well before the crunch. It may be public support turning into doubt. Or the authority walks back quietly on something that they once staunchly defended. To show you what I mean, let’s look at the price of Pfizer [NYSE:PFE], the leading manufacturer of the mRNA vaccine, over the last few years: It has been in freefall since mid-2022 as the global uptake of their drugs fell. I believe that it’ll get far worse as the company faces the music over its malpractice. But unlike the past, the government won’t give it immunity against damages that its product caused. I’ll cover that in a short while. Another is the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). Last Friday, it lost its case in the US Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals against three doctors suing over its public messages to suppress ivermectin as an effective treatment against the Wuhan virus and its myriad ‘variants’. Remember this? Some of my relatives, friends and I (all humans and not livestock, mind you) used ivermectin when we fell sick back then. None of us experienced any harm, most of us experienced a quick recovery. This ad along with other public messages will soon disappear…but not to be forgotten. This leads me to the next point. The Emergency Use Authorisation…the devil’s in the details So, why the big deal over the mRNA drug, the medical industry and the alternative treatments? A battle is looming in the not-so-distant future. It’ll be between the growing number of people harmed by the drug against the authorities and manufacturers who forced it on them while hiding crucial facts about its risks. The conditions stated in the Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA) will eventually determine who wins. For those unfamiliar, in November 2020, the US government granted the manufacturers a fast-track process to develop and roll out these drugs under the EUA. You can read the details of the conditions in the FDA website. Normally such drugs would need to undergo years of testing and review before its release to the market. But governments wanted to allay people’s concerns during this outbreak. With directives from the WHO, many were made to believe that vaccines would do the job. The EUA would facilitate a fast release of these drugs into the market, provided that no alternative treatments are available and the drug manufacturers passed the criteria set by the FDA. On the first point, you can see the peculiar case of how the FDA weighed in on ivermectin, along with hydroxychloroquine and various vitamins. For several years this message stuck, but now it has faced a humiliating defeat and retraction. The second point is more concerning. In early-2022, the FDA had to release to the public the data submitted by the vaccine manufacturers. The spotlight is now shining on Pfizer, although other manufacturers aren’t off the hook. Omitting crucial data to tilt the game A recently published paper identified several data inconsistencies by studies testing the efficacy of the mRNA drugs. You can find the paper here. Key issues included shortening the trial period, miscategorising observations, and evidence of cherry-picking data to deliver a desired outcome. Earlier this month, Michels et al published a paper in the International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research that highlighted the inconsistencies with the Pfizer trial data could’ve changed the outcome of the FDA approval to release its product to market. I conducted some statistical tests on the data found in the paper to confirm the findings. Firstly, the data sent to Pfizer claimed that of the 6 participants who died in the trials leading up to the submission date for EUA approval, 2 received the mRNA drug and 4 received the placebo. However, Pfizer subsequently released an interim report in March 2021 that showed 11 participants died during that period. 6 received the drug and 5 received the placebo. The results showed the drug didn’t deliver a significant effect if you consider the 11 participants who died. Moreover, by withholding 5 observations, Pfizer tipped the result in favour of its claim that its drug was effective. As I write this article, the analysis continues. The authors of this paper will no doubt release more findings as time passes. Now, I can’t conclude from my analysis and the findings thus far that this proves Pfizer intentionally put profits ahead of helping people. But it all becomes more suspicious when you consider the concerted effort to censor dissenting opinions and threats to deregister medical practitioners for not standing in line. I’ll leave you to be the judge. Take steps to protect yourself…think gold! Before I end this article, I want to leave you with this thought. Public trust has plummeted across the board. Many things we used to take for granted we can’t anymore. That’s why you should protect yourself and those closest to you. For me, I take my refuge in gold. It’s something that the authorities seek to disparage. That’s why I like it even more. Over the past decade, I’ve studied the gold market in great depth and that’s helped me deliver solid returns.

[3 min read] Dear Reader, The case we are making is that major US institutions have been captured and corrupted by the special interests who run them. This is not something bizarre or unusual; it happens…when you let it. This was the warning famously given by President Eisenhower when he left office: beware the ‘military-industrial complex.’ After WWII, the military industrial complex flexed its muscles and used its money to gain control of Congress. War is always popular, when you’re on the winning side. So, it was easy to stir up fear and get bigger budgets. And now, America’s military-industrial complex has been compromised. Too much money…and too much power…has left it too fat, too rich…too self-absorbed…too bureaucratic and backward facing…and probably incapable of winning a real war. But the military is not the only one. Tails, You Lose On Friday, we looked at the Fed-Wall Street complex -- how it gained control over the nation’s money….and how it uses interest rates and money printing to enrich itself. In effect, it makes hay when the sun shines. Then, when the clouds roll over…it puts the inevitable losses onto the public. Heads, I win. Tails, you lose. The whole scam came into focus last week as the Fed let it be known that it will continue to promote inflation. Rather than squeeze it out by holding rates at reasonable levels (the real rate on the Fed’s key loans is only about 1%), it announced that it would make credit cheaper. Associated Press was on the story: ‘WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve officials signaled Wednesday that they still expect to cut their key interest rate three times in 2024, fueling a rally on Wall Street, despite signs that inflation remained elevated at the start of the year.’ The only plausible reason for cutting rates anytime soon — with inflation still on the loose, stocks near record highs and the Fed’s key rate barely positive — is that it benefits the people who control the Fed and the financial system; that is, the big banks and investment firms on Wall Street. In the case of the banks, the higher rates of the last three years have left them with more than $600 billion (according to Moody’s) in losses on their core Treasury bond holdings. As for Wall Street, it is not only among the largest holders of stocks and bonds…it is also their leading purveyor. The Street makes its money by selling financial assets, not by buying them. Owning stocks is not normally very attractive to the common people. They have no way of knowing which business is a good one…and which is not. They have neither the time nor the expertise to study balance sheets and amortisation schedules. In more honest times, they put their money into a bank…earned a respectable interest on it…and let the BSDs in the financial industry take their chances in the stock market. Fake Dollar, Easy Money Then, along came the fake dollar (no gold in it)…and along came the Greenspan Put (he promised investors they wouldn’t lose money)…and Bernanke’s big Wall Street bailout of 2009-2022…and the average guy came to believe he could make money by just ‘being in the market’, say, with a low-cost ETF. And then the patsy saw the fabulous success of the stock market, generally – from 950 to 38,000 in 24 years…and the incredible success of the latest tech stocks, with Nvidia going from $4 to $940 in just 10 years. Naturally, he wanted in. And, of course, as long as the Fed was actively promoting the stock market, stocks rose. Even so, the increase was always more than it appeared. In terms of gold, it takes about 19 ounces of gold to buy the leading 30 Dow stocks today…and it took 18 ounces to buy them (the 30 Dow stocks of the period) in 1929. All investors really earned were the dividends…and often, the top stocks don’t pay dividends. Still, with the Fed pumping up financial assets, everyday was payday on Wall Street…and the rich got much richer. David Stockman: ‘Since 1989, for example, the net worth of the top 0.1% has soared from $1.8 trillion to just under $20 trillion. That’s a gain of $138 million per household. ‘By contrast, the aggregate net worth of the bottom 50% or 66 million households has risen from $0.7 trillion to $3.6 trillion. That’s a gain of just $44,000 per household. ‘Accordingly, the top 0.1% gained 3,100X more net worth each than the bottom half of America’s households.’ And then, just to show deep in the lobbyists’ pockets they have members of Congress, on Friday the House passed – sight unseen – at 3am!...another lollapalooza of spending — $1.2 trillion for this and that. The Senate rubber stamped it the next day. More than 1,000 pages of boondoggle and payoffs, nobody bothered to read it. Politico: ‘Senate sends $1.2T funding package to Biden, thwarting partial shutdown ‘A colossal $1.2 trillion spending package is finally off to President Joe Biden’s desk, with Congress concluding a tumultuous government funding cycle and skirting a shutdown after midnight.’ There you have it. The stupid party and the evil party working together like dealers and addicts. More money for weapons. More money for Wall Street. Bigger deficits. More debt. Higher stock prices. MarketWatch: ‘U.S. stocks shot up nearly 30% in 5 months.’ Makes us proud. Regards,
