“It’s Beyond ANY Shadow of a Doubt That the Vaccines Are Causing LARGE NUMBERS of Deaths”: Dr. Peter McCullough (VIDEO)

“It’s Beyond ANY Shadow of a Doubt That the Vaccines Are Causing LARGE NUMBERS of Deaths”: Dr. Peter McCullough (VIDEO)
Death inevitably follows pandemics, and it has been especially prevalent throughout the past two years, thanks to the Fauci-funded genetically modified virus that escaped from the Wuhan Lab in late 2019.
Despite the mass rollout of a vaccine, in which the majority of the population was compelled into taking the jab, excess deaths in the US remain at all-time highs over a year after the “cure” was introduced, and the numbers continue to get worse – especially for young Americans.

All while deaths from Covid itself are bottoming out.
So what is going on? The majority of people have taken their jabs, the virus has a 99.95-99.99% recovery rate for most, and Fauci himself said last month that we are moving out of the pandemic phase. What gives?
Well, according to Dr. Peter McCullough, the most published Cardiologist in history, the answer is unequivocally clear: the spike in death, which perfectly coincides with the rollout of the experimental jab, is the obvious culprit.
“It’s beyond any shadow of a doubt that the vaccines are causing a large number of deaths,” McCullough proclaimed in a recent interview with the ‘On a Mission Podcast.’
Can’t put it any clearer than that.
McCullough, who’s also an epidemiologist, isn’t just spouting off wild baseless claims. He explained his reasoning behind his shocking conclusion by walking through the “Bradford Hill Tenets of Causality,” in order to demonstrate the link between the vaccines and the current wave of excess deaths.
The Bradford Hill Tenets are widely considered to be the standard when evaluating cause and effect. It is regularly used in public health research and is defined as “a group of nine principles that can be useful in establishing epidemiologic evidence of a causal relationship between a presumed cause and an observed effect, according to Wikipedia.
From McCullough:
“I’m an epidemiologist, and people have asked me: ‘Dr. McCullough, are the vaccines actually causing deaths?’
The epidemiological construct that we have to go through is called the ‘Bradford Hill Tenets of Causality.’ So, the first question is: ‘is it a large epidemiologic signal?’ And I’ll tell you – it’s astronomical. All of the vaccines combined in the United States per year – its no more than 150 deaths, not temporally related.
Here [with the Covid vaccine] we are at over 21,000 deaths. So clearly its a massive signal.
Number two: ‘is there a dangerous mechanism of action?’ The answer is yes. We know the vaccines have a dangerous mechanism of action – they install production of the spike protien. The spike protein is what makes the respiratory infection lethal, and it follows that in some people excessive production of the spike protein in a vulnerable person would be lethal after a vaccine.

The third criteria: ‘is it internally consistent? Are there other conditions that are now acknowledged that they themselves could be fatal?’ And the answer is sure. With myocarditis, the FDA agrees – all the regulatory experts agree – that the vaccines cause myocarditis. Can it be fatal? Yes. Have there been fatal cases published? Yes… There are over 200 peer reviewed publications of myocarditis.
How about other forms of death? vaccine induced thrombosis, blood clots, stroke, hypertension, myocardial infection – a variety of other lethal syndromes. There’s over 1,000 peer reviewed published on fatal and non fatal outcomes [in regard to the Covid vaccine]. So that cryteria is met. It’s internally consistent.
After briefly running through the rest of the tenants, McCullough sums it up and doesn’t pull any punches.
“I’ve just gone through the exercise – “it is beyond any shadow of a doubt that the vaccines are causing large numbers of deaths,” McCullough concludes. “It’s unequivocal, and I’m a card-carrying epidemiologist. I’m telling you, the vaccines are causing large numbers of deaths,” he repeated with emphasis.
WATCH:
As McCullough has warned previously, the damages from this vaccine will linger for years to come. These people who pushed it are criminals and need to be held accountable for this evil.

HUGE: Former AG Barr Stopped Investigations into Trailer Load of 288,000 Ballots into PA from New York in 2020 Election – Barr Refused to Provide Whistleblower Protection – Now the USPS Won’t Provide Investigation Report – What Gives?

HUGE: Former AG Barr Stopped Investigations into Trailer Load of 288,000 Ballots into PA from New York in 2020 Election – Barr Refused to Provide Whistleblower Protection – Now the USPS Won’t Provide Investigation Report – What Gives?
Sometimes there are too many uncertainties and obvious red flags for an issue to go unnoticed. This is one of those times.
Truck driver Jesse Morgan moved mail for the US Postal Service and came out after the election and shared his story of how he hauled tens of thousands of ballots from New York to Pennsylvania before the 2020 Election. We reported on this in December 2020.
We learned in the summer of 2021 that former US Attorney General Bill Barr ordered the US Attorney in Eastern Pennsylvania to stop investigating 2020 Election issues in the state and turn any issues over to the Democrat Pennsylvania Attorney General. This would have included the reports of approximately 288,000 ballots entering Pennsylvania on a semi-trailer from New York.
US Attorney William McSwain shared with President Trump, in part:
This past week, Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shaffer discussed the Jesse Morgan story and the work he and others performed to vet the story after the 2020 Election. Shaffer said that after his team fully vetted Morgan, he decided to move forward with the story. He contacted his friends in law enforcement to get them on board with further investigating the matter. When former AG Bill Barr heard the news he called Tony, screamed at him, and told Tony to stop his investigation. Barr claimed it interfered with an FBI investigation. Tony was shortly thereafter removed from the investigation.
Tony explained that he wanted to give Mr. Morgan whistleblower status but Barr wouldn’t hear it. Shaffer shared with us:
And I would argue that he broke the law by refusing to accept that as a premise of him going in [to the FBI to discuss what he saw and knows]…
… So the next thing you know I’m gone off the investigation, Morgan is turned over and he goes away, never to be heard from again.
We next heard the following day in an interview with attorney Tom King in Pennsylvania that the investigation into this issue was moved to the USPS (United States Postal Service) since the event included US mail.
In our article, Attorney Tom King reported on the current status of this matter. King says that he was made aware of Jesse Morgan after the 2020 Election.
I was involved in that case and we worked directly with the US Attorney Bill McSwain who is now a candidate for governor… We got the truck driver over to the FBI offices in DC and to date we have met nothing but resistance from the postal authorities to release the report done by the postal police and the FBI. We’re close to getting it but that’s still unresolved as I speak to you today…
… We not only cooperated fully but I spoke on numerous occasions with Bill McSwain, the state’s attorney appointed by President Trump for the Eastern portion of Pennsylvania.
We ask – Why was this event buried and why is it still being buried? Crimes potentially took place to bury this event.

BioBiden: Is Ukraine Conducting Bio War with US Toxic Mosquito Drones?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/04/biobiden-ukraine-conducting-bio-war-us-toxic-mosquito-drones/
BioBiden: Is Ukraine Conducting Bio War with US Toxic Mosquito Drones?
Russian Ministry of Defence
On Wednesday, the Russian Ministry of Defence presented what it claims is evidence of a US DOD bioweapons program in Ukraine (Gateway reported). Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, Chief of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection of the Russian Army, claimed to have evidence the US and Ukraine were working on means to deliver biological weapons to Donbass and Russia via drone.
Kirillov presented a request by the Ukrainian aircraft manufacturer Motor-Sich to the Turkish maker of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) Bayraktar dated Dec. 15, 2021. Motor-Sich inquired whether Bayraktar drones possess “an aerosol spraying system/mechanism with a capacity exceeding 20 liters?”, to which Bayraktar replied “No”.
Motor-Sich also inquired “Is it capable of achieving a range of 300 km?” This would put major Russian and Belorussian cities such as Rostov, Kursk and Minsk within range. Kirillov called this “a real threat of large-scale use of biological weapons on the territory of the Russian Federation.”
Toxic Mosquito
Kirillov also pointed out that the US government had granted patents to drone systems capable of delivering bioweapons attacks, such as the “Toxic Mosquito” aerial release system, patented on March 3, 2015 by TMARS Associates in Manassas, Virginia (US Patent 8,967,029).
The patent describes the Toxic Mosquito as “a device for aerial release of mosquitoes” including a “mosquito breeding bin” and “a mosquito food housed within the mosquito breeding bin; a toxin within the mosquito food, the toxin suitable to be transmitted by mosquito bite.”
The patent notes that “a mosquito delivery system for lethal and non-lethal applications is not available. If such a delivery system enabling legal non-lethal uses were available, it could later be adapted for military uses should legal restraints be altered or eliminated.”
Thus, the patent notes that military use is currently illegal. However, such military use is overtly implied by the patent:
“Throughout military history, the health of one’s troops has always been an important determining factor. Soldiers on the ground can only properly function if they are not ill, sick, or dying from a deadly virus or pathogen. A soldier, whose immune system is trying to fight a bug or pathogen, will have no energy or ability to fight other soldiers. Sickness can be a very valuable military tool that can be more devastating than the most up-to-date military guns and equipment. Since making the enemy troops sick is an important military objective, one must then look at what means are available to get the pathogens, germs, and viruses to the enemy.”
Under “Advantageous Effects of Invention”, the patent notes that “enemy troops can now be wiped out or rendered useless without having to risk or endanger our own troops. The toxic mosquito aerial release system is extremely low cost and can easily accomplish what a billion dollars in medical interventions and airstrikes cannot do. The mosquitoes in the toxic mosquito aerial release system can be contaminated with various types of genetically altered bacteria to activate the immune system, or contaminated with toxic sickness agents depending on the objectives.
For military purposes, the mosquitoes may be used to deliver an agent such as malaria to create sickness, or they could use much more toxic or highly contagious agents and viruses. A highly contagious virus could wipe out 100% of the enemy troops because the ones that did not get bitten will be contaminated by their fellow soldiers. The toxic mosquito aerial release system is a new and needed technology. It is a way to administrative curative or immunological injection, to administer calmative agents, or to administer deadly disease to wipe out and disable the enemy at a minimal cost.
For use in conflict, there is no longer the need to spend countless billions of dollars and to destroy entire areas with bombing, and to wound or sacrifice our bravest and finest soldiers. When it comes down to the hell of war or the miraculous, beautiful technology of a mosquito, the choice will be easy to make.”
Attacks on Donbas?
Russia claims the “People’s Republics” of Donetsk and Luhansk may already have been subjected to biological weapons attacks. Speaking to the United Nations Security Council on March 18, Russian representative Vassily Nebenzia stated that “we already see alarming signs of such threat. For example, a sharp increase in cases of tuberculosis caused by new multi-resistant strains was detected among citizens living in Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics in 2018. During a mass outbreak recorded in the area of Peski settlement, more than 70 cases of the disease were detected, which ended in a rapid fatal outcome. This does not look like a coincidence.”
Russia did not present any evidence the Toxic Mosquito or similar US UAVs have been used in Ukraine. In March, the Biden administration announced it would provide “100 tactical unmanned aerial systems” to Ukraine. The neo-Nazi Azov Battalion in Mariupol has been noted for its extensive arsenal of high-tech drones in Europe’s poorest country, leading many observers to conclude the drones may have been supplied by the West. The Ukrainian military even held mock “Oscars” awards for the best war footage, including drone videos. The “international award” went to Turkey’s $5 million Bayraktar TB2 drones, which have been used in airstrikes on Russian forces.
Russia is now calling for an international inquiry into the US-Ukraine bioresearch program.

NOTE: In wartime, all claims made by the Russian government must be viewed with caution.

Whistleblower Truck Driver Who Hauled 288,000 Suspicious Ballots Across State Lines Before 2020 Election
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/04/breaking-exclusive-us-postal-service-withholding-investigative-report-whistleblower-truck-driver-hauled-288000-suspicious-ballots-across-state-lines-2020-election/
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: US Postal Service Refuses to Release Investigative Report on Whistleblower Truck Driver Who Hauled 288,000 Suspicious Ballots Across State Lines Before 2020 Election
Pennsylvania Attorney Tom King says that the United States Postal Service refuses to provide the report from its investigation of the semi-trailer full of ballots that went missing before the 2020 Election in the state.
In addition, the PA Supreme Court has yet to rule on election cases involving Dominion machines used in Fulton County Pennsylvania.
Joe Hoft from the TGP interviewed attorney Tom King from Pennsylvania. Tom is from a family rich in history with the GOP and is now assisting Fulton County in a couple of court cases related to the 2020 Election. Tom shared some breaking information on the status of the USPS truck driver and whistleblower who reported to authorities that he dropped off a trailer full of ballots in Pennsylvania before the 2020 Election.
Truck driver Jesse Morgan was the truck driver who moved mail for the US Postal Service and who came out after the election and shared his story of how he hauled tens of thousands of ballots from New York to Pennsylvania before the 2020 Election. We reported on this in December 2020.
Yesterday, Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shaffer discussed the Jesse Morgan story and the work he and others performed to vet the story after the 2020 Election. Shaffer said that after his team fully vetted Morgan, he decided to move forward with the story. He contacted his friends in law enforcement to get them on board with further investigating the matter. When former AG Bill Barr heard the news he called Tony, screamed at him, and told Tony to stop his investigation. Barr claimed it interfered with an FBI investigation.
Today attorney Tom King reported on the current status of this matter. King says that he was made aware of Jesse Morgan after the 2020 Election.
I was involved in that case and we worked directly with the US Attorney Bill McSwain who is now a candidate for governor… We got the truck driver over to the FBI offices in DC and to date we have met nothing but resistance from the postal authorities to release the report done by the postal police and the FBI. We’re close to getting it but that’s still unresolved as I speak to you today…
… We provided Jesse with legal counsel for the interview with the FBI… We not only cooperated fully but I spoke on numerous occasions with Bill McSwain, the state’s attorney appointed by President Trump for the Eastern portion of Pennsylvania.
McSwain wrote President Trump a letter after the 2020 Election expressing his challenges in investigating the election fraud because of Bill Barr. This is where Jesse Morgan’s story played out according to King.
King continued:
Here we sit in April of 2022 and we still don’t have the report. We’re persuing it and we’re going to get it eventually.
King confirmed that Jesse Morgan is still in Pennsylvania and is still cooperating with King. Jesse has reported that certain people haven’t even been interviewed yet by the FBI or USPS.
King then continued and reported on lawsuits involving Fulton County and the state of PA. One case where the county is suing the state is still with the Supreme Court. The PA Secretary of the Commonwealth decertified the two election machines after the county performed an audit after the 2020 Election. The state did this without looking at the machines. The machines were never touched by the auditors. Instead, the auditors did their work based on a copy of the machines provided by the county.
Tom mentioned the county has only two machines and one wasn’t even used in the election but the state decertified both the machines when it heard about the county’s audit. The state then asked the county to pay for new machines. When this occurred the county sued the state. This case is with the Supreme court and has yet to be settled.
In another case the Supreme Court in the state allowed Dominion to join the state in attempting to prevent a forensic audit of the two machines in Fulton County. The state sued Fulton County when the Senate arrived and asked to perform the audit on the machines held by the county. Dominion and the state do now want this audit to take place. The Supreme Court has yet to rule on this matter.
This is an incredible interview with King. Please see it below in its entirety.

School Nurse Suspended For Revealing Connecticut Public School Was Secretly Giving Children Puberty Blockers Behind Their Parents’ Backs
Nurse Kathleen Cataford
Connecticut – A school nurse was suspended after revealing the school worked at was secretly giving children puberty blockers behind their parents’ backs.
77-year-old Kathleen Cataford was suspended by Hartford Public Schools this week after she revealed the school secretly put an 11-year-old student on puberty blockers in a public comment on Facebook.
Advertisement - story continues below
“Investigate the school system curriculum…CT is a very socially liberal, gender confused state,” the Facebook post read. “As a public school nurse, I have an 11yo female student on puberty blockers and a dozen identifying as non-binary, all but two keeping this as a secret from their parents with the help of teachers, SSW [social workers] and school administration.”
She continued, “Teachers and SSW are spending 37.5 hours a week influencing our children, not necessarily teaching our children what YOU think is being taught.”
The Superintendent of Harford Public Schools lashed out at Cataford and launched an investigation into the school nurse. the Daily Mail reported.
The Daily Mail reported:
A Connecticut school nurse has been suspended over a Facebook post revealing that an 11 year-old at the school where she worked was on puberty blockers.
Kathleen Cataford, who worked at the Richard J Kinsella Magnet School in Hartford, was axed from her role Monday over the post, which was branded transphobic.
Writing on a local mom’s group in response to a request for local school recommendations, the 77 year-old said: ‘Investigate the school system curriculum…CT is a very socially liberal, gender confused state,’ the post read.
It continued: ‘As a public school nurse, I have an 11yo female student on puberty blockers and a dozen identifying as non-binary, all but two keeping this as a secret from their parents with the help of teachers, SSW [social workers] and school administration.
Cataford went on to claim that ‘children are introduced to this confusion in kindergarten.’ DailyMail.com’s attempts to contact her Tuesday were unsuccessful.
The post came to the attention of Hartford School District Officials after the mother of the 11 year-old mentioned saw it, and flagged it to school officials.
She confirmed its contents and the context in which the post was made to DailyMail.com on Tuesday, but did not wish to comment further, citing her child’s privacy.
Boston’s Mayor, Michelle Wu, ‘Jokes’ About White People, Pushes Random Mandates and Then Requests Law to Stop Protesters at Her House in Off-Hours

Boston’s Mayor, Michelle Wu, ‘Jokes’ About White People, Pushes Random Mandates and Then Requests Law to Stop Protesters at Her House in Off-Hours
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is so disliked that she encouraged the Boston City Council to create a law to curtail protesters at her home during certain hours.
It’s hard to imagine why she is not more popular when she makes disgusting comments about white people openly during her public speeches.
Michael Knowles shared one moment from the mayor’s recent speech.The Boston Globe reports that Wu is so dispised that she has protesters at her house almost daily. In response, Wu proposed a bill prohibiting protesting after 9 pm and before 9 am. How American! The Antifa folks will love that.
Following months of near-daily antivaccination demonstrations outside the Roslindale home of Mayor Michelle Wu, the Boston City Council on Wednesday adopted a controversial proposal to further restrict the hours when protesters may target private residences with their demonstrations.
The hotly debated measure was introduced by Wu, who has framed the consistent, early-morning ruckus as harassment, a feeling many of her neighbors in the usually quiet part of the city share.But critics of the new rules,including several who routinely picket outside the mayor’s home, say the restrictions would unfairly curb First Amendment rights.
Wu is hated for many reasons. Recently she instituted a fee on restaurant owners on the North Side of the city only. This move shows the extreme measures Wu feels comfortable implementing. Per Boston.com:
Facing backlash from restaurateurs, Mayor Michelle Wu on Tuesday formally announced flexible parameters for how the city will charge North End restaurants seeking to open outdoor dining spaces this year.
The accommodations, which Wu first mentioned during an interview on WBUR on Monday, will allow restaurants the ability to pay the new $7,500 fee in installments.
Fees can be tailored to reflect operating schedules, so that restaurants who do not want to open outdoor space for the entire season will only pay for when they open outside.
You can tell Wu has never run a restaurant business before. What a piece of work. Nic job, Boston. You get what you vote for.
Inspector general says post office surveillance program exceeded legal authority
https://www.yahoo.com/news/inspector-general-says-post-office-surveillance-program-exceeded-legal-authority-172808526.html
Inspector general says post office surveillance program exceeded legal authority
WASHINGTON — An inspector general probe into the U.S. Postal Service surveillance program, known as iCOP, concluded that the agency did not have the legal authority to conduct the sweeping intelligence collection and surveillance of American protesters and others between 2018 and 2021.
The Postal Service Office of Inspector General launched an investigation into iCOP — which stands for Internet Covert Operations Program — at the request of Congress in direct response to reporting from Yahoo News last year.
“We determined that certain proactive searches iCOP conducted using an open-source intelligence tool from February to April 2021 exceeded the Postal Inspection Service’s law enforcement authority,” the March 25, 2022, inspector general report stated.
“Furthermore, we could not corroborate whether other work analysts completed from October 2018 through June 2021 was legally authorized.”
The audit of the program was prompted by Yahoo News’ reporting that revealed the existence of the secret program, as well as its use of facial recognition software and other sophisticated technology and software to compile and disseminate reports on Americans’ online speech and movements. A March 16, 2021, iCOP intelligence bulletin on American protesters was widely circulated by the Department of Homeland Security to state, local and federal law enforcement agencies nationwide.
Yahoo News’ reporting on the program prompted outrage from lawmakers and constitutional experts, who questioned whether the post office had the legal authority to target and collect information on U.S. citizens not suspected of any crime and with no connection to the post office.
In April 2021, Yahoo News revealed the existence of the iCOP surveillance, which used analysts to trawl the internet looking for “inflammatory” posts about nationwide Black Lives Matter protests. A series of follow-up reports revealed further details about the program, which had been operating without the oversight or even the knowledge of Congress. (Yahoo News has filed its own lawsuit to obtain additional records related to iCOP.)
“The Oversight Committee requested this report because of our significant concerns about intelligence activities conducted by the Postal Service Inspection Service’s analytics team related to First Amendment activity," Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y, who chairs the House Oversight Committee, told Yahoo News in a Thursday statement. "The inspector general’s audit makes clear that the committee’s concerns were justified, and that the use of open-source intelligence by the analytics team ‘exceeded the Postal Inspection Service’s law enforcement authority.’"
Using sophisticated technology and software, iCOP was running keyword searches like “protest” on social media to collect online speech about a host of different events that contained no threats and had nothing to do with the Postal Service’s work.
The inspector general report notes that in April 2021 Postal Inspection Service lawyers asked iCOP to remove “protest” from its keyword searches “to protect constitutional rights.”
Frank Albergo, president of the Postal Police Officers Association, told Yahoo News that the Postal Inspection Service had “lost their way.”
“At this point they might as well take their mission statement of protecting the Postal Service and its employees and throw it in the garbage,” Albergo said, arguing that not enough attention is being paid by the agency to the “mail theft epidemic” of postal property that was happening at the same time.
The 26-page report concluded that the post office did not have the legal authority to compile reports on Americans involved in Black Lives Matter protests sweeping the nation. The report also found across-the-board violations of statutory and legal authority ranging from lack of legal authority to noncompliance with federal records retention to use of facial recognition software. It also said there was no record-keeping policy or procedures in place to make sure the work was legal.
The report repeatedly stressed that the Postal Service’s surveillance efforts need a “postal nexus,” or a connection to the Postal Inspection Service’s work.
“The Postal Inspection Service’s activities must have an identified connection to the mail, postal crimes, or the security of Postal Service facilities or personnel (postal nexus) prior to commencing,” the report said.
“However, the keywords used for iCOP in the proactive searches did not include any terms with a postal nexus. Further, the postal nexus was not documented in 122 requests and 18 reports due to a lack of requirements in the program’s procedures. These issues occurred because management did not involve the Postal Inspection Service’s Office of Counsel in developing iCOP or its procedures.”
The inspector general made a series of recommendations, including a complete review and overhaul of the program and the analyst division under which it operates. Postal Service leadership responded to each recommendation, objecting to most of the report’s conclusions and arguing that it has the authority to conduct wide-ranging surveillance and intelligence collection on U.S. citizens — without needing a nexus to the post office. It agreed to review some of its policies after the completion of the internal review recommended by the inspector general.
“We strongly disagree with the overarching conclusion that the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (Inspection Service) exceeded its legal authority and conducted improper intelligence searches,” the Postal Inspection Service wrote in response to the recommendations and findings of the inspector general audit. The response was included in the report.
Maloney, the Oversight Committee chair, said: "I fully support the Inspector General’s recommendation that Postal Service management perform a full review of the Analytics Team’s responsibilities, activities, and procedures, and I look forward to reviewing its result.”
