It's almost like everyone is talking out of their *** because no one ever said exactly what the vaccine can or cant do, because it was all bogus from the get-go.

To be fair, there's a little tiny bit of distinction between the two:

we bomb to occupy the area.
they bomb to completely annex the area.

Sometimes they use nerve gas instead of conventional weapons. Where does that fall in the heirarchy of killing?

--residential areas
--target civilians
--nerve gas?
--thermobaric bomb?
--nuke?

31 years since Saddam gassed Halabja

I think we forget how ruthless Putin is because he looks like Dobby

Your position couldn't be more completely clueless or wrong. If you are sick or afraid, it is not MY responsibility to do anything to myself; whether that be wearing a mask or getting a questionable injection. You are just a sheep allowing yourself to be controlled.

Trust the science you say? On day one we followed basic medical protocol with masks - they don't work to prevent the spread of any virus. Saying they "spread the virus at a reduced rate" is not the same thing.

Trust the Pharmaceutical companies you say? Didn't we just hate them all due to the insulin cost debacle? But now we are supposed to love them and take an injection that NOT A SINGLE ENTITY in the entire vaccination process can be held liable for? Well at least the science is so trustworthy and reputable they felt it important to disclose ALL clinical data and side effects immediately? Oh, not for another 75yrs? That seems strange to force people to take an injection (at risk of losing their job or moving anywhere in the community) and not advise them of the risks.

Trust the government you say? The CDC knew decades ago that their MMR combo innoculation was causing autism and other adverse side effects based on the dose size and the early age (even though the single shots of Measles, Mumps, Rubella did not have an adverse reaction, but their response was not to do more research or delay the injections until later - they banned the single shots.

So, FB is doing this now:



Funny how there's never been a similar warning on US state-controlled media.

Facebook is now blocked in Russia. I gag when I think of all the media outlets that will paint them as patriotic knights in shining armor.

Imagine having Russian employees right now like a lot of large American corporations do and they can no longer access the internet to do work, or recieve a paycheck cause they froze bank transactions...

They didn't answer me.

I mean, someone try to convince me that you didn't actually hear Jeremy reading all of that, with the music under and then up to the crescendo after "(pause)... to Kiev."

(For the record, this one really belongs in Joe's political thread, but his rules preclude its posting over there)
