German memory culture, anti-Semitic Zionists and Palestinian liberation
Germany’s much lauded ‘memory culture’ is pure, empty, self-congratulatory propaganda.
Rachael Shapiro — Anti-Zionist Jewish activist based in Berlin
Published On 1 Mar 20241 Mar 2024
I am a #Jewish #pro-Palestine solidarity activist originally from the #NewYork area and now based in #Berlin. My #grandmother was a #Holocaust survivor from #Cologne who fled to the #UnitedStates during the Second World War at the age of 16. Her parents and much of her family were murdered during the Holocaust. I came “back” to #Germany about five years ago, a decision born largely out of the desire for intergenerational healing for me and for my grandmother, who was alive at the time. I learned German and was able to speak to her in her native language in the last few years of her life. I told her stories about living in Germany, she met some of my friends and she was grateful for the ways in which the country and its people had apparently evolved and atoned for their ugly history.
I am glad she died before I had the opportunity to recognise what a naive, idealistic delusion this was.
In the past few years as I have educated myself, become active in the movement for #Palestinian #liberation and extracted myself from the extreme #Zionist conditioning and #brainwashing baked into the fabric of my upbringing, my appreciation for German “Erinnerungskultur” (“memory culture”) has steeply devolved into the realisation that the entire concept is pure, empty, self-congratulatory propaganda. It is grounded in the intentional, racist displacement of anti-Semitism and responsibility for the Holocaust from the Germans who perpetuated it to the #Arabs, #Muslims and, above all, the #Palestinians, who they now demonise and scapegoat as a deflection and distraction.
A documentary from 1985, Ma’loul Celebrates Its Destruction, provides an account of the destruction of entire villages during the 1948 #Nakba. In it, an interviewer says to a Palestinian man who was displaced: “But they killed six million Jews.” His rightful response is, “Did I kill them? Those who killed them must be held accountable. I haven’t hurt a fly.” The fact that a truth this fundamental has been so deeply buried in the language of “complexity” and “conflict” is a testament to the commitment and breadth of the imperialist narrative disseminated by Israel, the #US and #Germany (and the #West in general). Meanwhile, more than 90 percent of all anti-Semitic incidents in Germany are attributable to the #far-right despite the media’s rampant efforts to ignore statistics, skew the reality of the violence and racism directed at Palestinians, and disguise the true apathy towards the so-called “fight against anti-Semitism”.
While actual incidents of anti-Semitism go largely unpunished, those of us standing in solidarity with Palestine are accustomed to brutal, state-sanctioned violence, repression and surveillance from police and the German government in response to peaceful #protests and #boycotts. This has intensified massively since the #genocide in #Gaza began in October, regularly under the guise of accusations of anti-Semitism and “Judenhass” (“hatred of Jews”). We are accordingly committed to remaining loud and visible, including through our refusal to be excluded from the fight against rising fascism and the extreme-right Alternative for Germany party ( #AfD ).
On February 3, I attended an #anti-AfD demonstration in Berlin as part of the pro-Palestinian bloc with the revolutionary #Marxist group #Sozialismus #von #Unten (“Socialism from Below”), in which I am an active member. I had quite a bit of trepidation about going to this protest after the violent, racist and disturbing experiences of my Palestinian and pro-Palestinian comrades at anti-AfD protests over the past few weeks. Folks protesting the AfD while showing solidarity with Palestine have been ruthlessly harassed, attacked, reported to the police and violently removed by both demonstrators and cops all over Germany.
In general, the #mood was positive, and there seemed to be more of a tangible solidarity in comparison with the earlier demonstrations. I stood with a sign that read, “ #Juedin #gegen die #AfD und #Zionismus, #fuer ein #freies #Palaestina” (“ #Jew #against the #AfD and #Zionism, #for a #free #Palestine”). We handed out flyers encouraging a strategic and systematic mobilisation against the AfD. We spoke to demonstrators about the link between fighting fascism and fighting for Palestinian liberation. We explained that Palestinians in Palestine are currently suffering under the fascist policies we are demonstrating against in Germany, and in Germany, Palestinians and those standing in solidarity with them are already experiencing the concrete infringement and denial of #fundamental #human #rights ( #freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly). We emphasised the importance of unconditional, #international #solidarity.
Some were cautious about engaging, ostensibly out of concern for being viewed as anti-Semitic, but many were curious, interested and open to learning. As much as the mainstream media have tried to distort and mangle news of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, a recent poll showed that among German voters, only 25 percent answered in the affirmative when asked if they believe Israel’s attacks on Gaza are justified; 61 percent believe they are not. The latter cohort was clearly represented at the demonstration.
After about an hour, I came into contact with a representative of the 25 percent of that poll. An older German man with an aggressive expression approached me, stopped in front of me and half-shouted, “So what do you think the #similarities are #between the #AfD and #Israel?” I could tell he had no intention of engaging in a reasonable conversation but nonetheless began trying to explain. After a few words, he rolled his eyes and spat at me.
It is hard to describe the particular shade of red I saw, the sourness of the blood pumping to my head, the bitterness of the fury on my tongue. It looked like the lifeless faces of my great-grandparents at the mercy of #Nazis, deported and murdered in the #Warsaw #Ghetto as they have appeared in my dreams since I was a child. It felt like the fierceness with which I will unconditionally defend the Palestinian resistance, the right of every people to resist their oppressor in any single form, until my last breath. It tasted like the rage and incredulity that have boiled in the corners of all of our mouths as we scream at the top of our lungs, watching the world passively observe the slaughter of Palestinian men, women and children for more than four and a half months – silent, complicit and accompanied by the relentless echo of more than #75 #years of #occupation, #apartheid, #theft, #ethnicCleansing, #lies, #dehumanisation and unforgivable #injustice.
I ran after the man, shouting at him that my family was murdered because of fascism during a genocide – in response to which he spat at me again.
He goaded me: “What do you know? The AfD is a fascist party. What does that have to do with Israel?” I began to state the obvious – “Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza as we speak …” – but didn’t finish my sentence before he spat in my face for a third time.
As I was shaking, incensed and disgusted, my final comment was, “You are clearly an anti-Semite.” Up to this point in the interaction, he had been condescending and full of contempt, but (as I knew it would) this final shot sent him into a blind rage. As I turned and walked away, he shrieked: “WHAT did you say to me?”
A friend of mine recently said to me, “The #Germans will #never #forgive the #Jews for the #Holocaust.” These words have rung in my ears and sat in my chest with nowhere in particular to go, a hard, ugly truth at the core of German society that precisely reflects my experience living in it. It is bewildering, it is comical, and it is accurate.
From the neo-Nazis of the AfD to “anti-Deutsche” leftists who claim to be combatting German anti-Semitism by obsessively and unconditionally supporting Zionism, many of today’s Germans are brimming with repressed rage towards Jews. Whether they are aware of it or not, this is resoundingly apparent in the deep, hysterical hypocrisy of a reaction such as that of the man at the demonstration – spitting in a Jewish person’s face for standing against fascism and genocide on the basis of her personal, generational relationship to fascism and genocide and becoming enraged at being identified as an anti-Semite accordingly.
This fury is seemingly a reaction to the “injustice” of Germans having to repent for the actions of their ancestors, something they have been widely celebrated for on the global stage. The #resentment takes the form of #narrowmindedness and #bigotry: The only acceptable concepts of #Judaism, #Jewish people and “Jewish life” are those they themselves, #non-Jewish Germans, explicitly sign off on. (Refer to the “anti-Semitism commissioners” claiming to represent the interests of Jewish people in Germany – not a single one of whom is Jewish or an expert in any relevant or related field.) For many Germans, the only palatable Judaism is Zionism, which in fact is no kind of Judaism at all. When forced to contend with perspectives in conflict with this toxic narrative or with Jewishness that doesn’t align with their understanding of it, their anger surfaces violently, explosively. “Anti-Deutsche” weaponise the fetishisation of Jews through their obsessive Zionism to an extreme degree, spearheading aggressive hate and smear campaigns against those who do not share their views (including anti-Zionist Jewish people). How dare anyone, most of all Jews, call into question the authority of Germans in defining and relating to Judaism, anti-Semitism and genocide.
The sick, decades-long collaboration between Israel and Germany and the widespread assertion that Israel’s security is “Germany’s reason of state”(“Staatsraeson”), which upholds Zionist socialisation in the interests of political, racist ends, has created an atmosphere of fear, shame, guilt and ultimately self-righteousness that permeates much of German society. It punishes questions, dissuades education and quashes the necessary understanding of Judaism as a broad, differentiated and historically diasporic culture that existed long before Zionism – and will exist long after.
This designation of all Jews and all Judaism as a single uniform entity, necessarily speaking the same language (modern Hebrew), holding the same values (Zionism) and sharing an identical culture (which in Germany, must be determined by Germans), is, in fact, the precise definition of #anti-Semitic, #Nazistic #racial #segregation and the othering, dehumanising rhetoric they employed in its service. The rigid and inherently anti-Semitic conception of Jews as an undifferentiated people “native” to one land, characterised by the nationalist settler-colonial Zionist movement, has merely served as a #continuation of #Hitler’s #work. It has erased secular Judaism in Europe. It has #eradicated the #Yiddish, #Ladino, #Judeo-Arabic, #Judeo-Persian and #other #Hebraic #languages. Eighty years after the Holocaust, it has succeeded in upholding the view of Jews as a monolith, a foreign nuisance separate from German society, the attempted annihilation of whom can now be exploited to justify the annihilation of another group.
The #tradition of #policing #Jewishness has been passed down in Germany for generations now, which, as in the case of the man at the anti-AfD demonstration, revolves not just around an established, homogenous definition of Jews but, crucially, also the exclusive right and obligation of the Germans to dictate it.
So what are we left with? I believe we can see it in our aforementioned statistic. The majority of Germans know, despite what they have been raised and conditioned to believe, that at the very least, what is going on in Gaza is wrong. Many can see that there is something significant and conspicuous missing in the mainstream narrative around anti-Semitism, Israel and Palestine. I would venture that the majority of those in the streets marching against the AfD are doing it because they genuinely want to stand on the right side of history. Meanwhile, what is in reality a minority is simply louder, angrier and more visible in propagating their anti-Arab, anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian racism, anti-Semitism and pro-genocide views and, in being so, intimidate the rest into docile silence.
#No #one in the mainstream German #media has reported on my experience at the anti-AfD protest. Given the cultural context, this is not a surprise. But highlighting this hypocrisy and the prevailing, ever-more destructive narratives illustrated by such an incident represents a powerful opportunity for education and empowerment. Calling out the root causes and social backdrop of this moment make them available and necessary for all to grapple with. As so many are stepping into the streets, it is our responsibility to arm them with the facts as fuel, to enable every single person to raise their voice and know decisively what they speak for and what they speak against. We will continue – with more resolve than ever – in the fight for a free Palestine and in mobilising in this way against racism, Zionism, (actual) anti-Semitism, fascism and genocide. We will repeat it again and again until the rhythm of our words becomes the heartbeat of a society that attempts to snuff out our resistance but will ultimately fail at doing so: Never again means never again for anybody.

Denouncing critics of Israel as ‘un-Jews’ or antisemites is a perversion of history
The Guardian
The story of Jewish suffering means there is a moral necessity to fight oppression everywhere. (...)
(Text continues underneath the photo.)

The story of Zuckerman and his erasure is one of many told by Geoffrey Levin in his new book Our Palestine Question, on the forgotten history of Jewish dissent in America in the decades following the founding of Israel. It is one of several accounts that will be published this year exploring the history of American Jewish opposition to Zionism and support for the Palestinian cause. (...)
For many Jews, the existential threat posed by Hamas gives Israel the right to take any measures necessary to eliminate the organisation. For others, whatever the horrors of the Hamas attack, the destruction of Gaza, the deaths of more than 25,000 people and the displacement of almost the entire population is unconscionable and cuts against the grain of Jewish ethical traditions. (...)
In 2021, an essay in the Jewish magazine Tablet labelled Jews too critical of Israel or Zionism as “un-Jews”. Three years on, it is a description that seems to have found greater resonance.
Perhaps in no country is official ostracism of “un-Jews” more entrenched than in Germany. “To be a leftwing Jew in today’s Germany is to live in a state of permanent cognitive dissonance,” says Susan Neiman, a Jewish American philosopher and director of the Einstein Forum in Potsdam for the past quarter of a century. “German politicians and media talk incessantly about protecting Jews from antisemitism,” but many who “criticise the Israeli government and the war on Gaza have been cancelled and certainly attacked. I’m an Israeli citizen and I’ve been accused of being a Hamas supporter, and even a Nazi, in mainstream media. Need I add that I am neither?” (...)
According to the researcher Emily Dische-Becker, almost a third of those cancelled in Germany for their supposed antisemitism have been Jews. There is, as the Israeli-born architect and academic Eyal Weizman has acidly put it, a certain irony in “being lectured [on how to be properly Jewish] by the children and grandchildren of the perpetrators who murdered our families and who now dare to tell us that we are antisemitic”. (...)
What guided Jewish critics, particularly of Israeli policies towards Palestinian refugees, in the late 1940s and 1950s, was, as Levin shows, their attachment to Jewish traditions that reject discrimination or barbarism against any group. (...)
What makes all this particularly troubling, Neiman observes, is the upsurge in antisemitism in Germany and elsewhere. Rather than policing Jewish intellectuals and activists, “insisting on unconditional loyalty to Israel” and “downplaying the suffering in Gaza”, what is needed, Nieman argues, is to support those individuals and organisations that are building forms of solidarity that can both challenge antisemitism and anti-Muslim bigotry, and promote justice in Palestine and Israel.

Diversity Naysayers Make Labor Crisis Worse
A good article by Russ Niles on #AVweb. The story deals with #aviation, but is widely applicable and well argued.
One of the most interesting, frustrating, entertaining and occasionally frightening tasks of the modern-day editor is monitoring the comments on the stories we run. Most outlets have disabled comments because it’s just too much damn work to filter out the mean, hateful and irrelevant missives that inevitably appear no matter what the topic. It must be all Trump’s fault. Or wait, maybe it’s Biden’s.

Fact Check: WSJ Publishes False Article Claiming Trans Kids Are "Actually Just Gay"
On Thursday, The Wall Street Journal published an opinion column by Dr. Roy Eappen, a former Conservative Party of Quebec candidate and member of the anti-trans organization Do No Harm. The column made an audacious claim: most transgender kids are not actually trans, and that being transgender is somehow a form of "conversion therapy" to turn gay kids trans.

[0] now, that all came from listening to a #thegrayzone episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESqmADgbEJI and it, (early on (i forget which part)), had me realise this whole similarity thing, this shared malignifying principle... though, one main difference i kept thinking of, was the cui bono of it, in a sense of there being contrary supremacists outside... and there, i could think of only mac for microsoft, which i thought to weak to be intentionally doing this ploy of getting microsoft to make themselves the monster. doesnt have the same tragic digging the hole deeper incentive. and i cant imagine the employees in microsoft share the same kind of existential terror driving them into an opposame... but then i dont know what kind of propaganda microsoft employees are pumped full of. ... lol. at first, that strikes as a bit of a satirical extreme to think of microsoft employees getting the same kind of propaganda to terrorise them into the totalitarianised supremacist poor-us great-us get-them-before-they-get-us all-attrocities-virtuous groupthink... and there'd be a vast portion of the employee population not going along with it, another significant portion more snug and held to play along, and then the fervent believers, and then the central directing deceivers, ... but then... microsoft are obviously sufficiently adept at mind control. sorry, that's not the term popularly used for that these days. let me check my newspeak dictionary... government. no, wait,... psyop. no wait... public relations. no. advertising, or marketing. yeah, whatever, you know what i mean. but then, are mac better? so slick... and then, in keeping with the comparative similitude... the other ethno-religious supremacists... how slick are they? [did mac create microsoft... how deep does this go!? :O puppetbogeymen scapegoats turtles all the way down?] ... (again, around to considering) enough to pull the strings?
[1] _[i was thinking microsoft and it's proprietary stuff, when writing that, and israel's anti-defamation laws (from way back when) was only trailing in the wind as a closely following afterthought seeing if it still fit. ... fit this thing where it's the ... well, as i came to simplify it, and put it as the title (which i very much thought i'd just post as it's own short post... but... i dont naturally hold to short punchy brevity often... there's always more. ideas, jim. explore more... ;) anyways, rambling aside now... sry, back to it...)
[2] really needs fearquotes on that all the time since that too's an orwellian euphemism. because what we're really talking about is further than just being opposed to defamation. defamation, being lies of bigots, would be a legit thing to counter. but it's far further than that. and that's the crux of the flaw here. the unreasonable self-destructive delusional "la-la-la not listening to you, i'm perfect, i'm an angel, i'm chosen" while sloshing through a river of blood, of their own making, oblivious to it... like "not in our name" doesnt even come into it, while deep in the mass formation psychosis. a mass formation psychosis, generated by this "antidefamation" thing, bolstering both the terror and the supremacy, the poor-me and the magnanimity. ... which again gets me thinking back to, who started that and why, since it harms jews so much. ... ... y'know? ... ... [i say, as member of a people oppressed by the same. ... so idk if that's a bias of my experience colouring my allusions; pulling my allusions to that level of the platoscaveception]. ... and it's refreshing that seems the majority of jews get it, and dont fall for it, just the same as everywhere, most people dont fall for these ploys... at least until the they initiate the next grand acute terror psyop... and get us all marching in lockstep. ... yeah, did i mention #kakistarchy yet? ... anyways, digressing into side rambles again.
[edit: and, in addition, not just the goodness of judaism, but there are even ways to have a good zionism, that does not involve displacement of peoples, nor homogeneity... not apartheid. and in that, i dont mean the apartheid between pure jewish israel and mixed other palestine [edit: nor another narrative's depiction of mixed israel and pure islamic terrorist palestine]... i mean the apartheid between israel and the world. ... and it boggles my mind why this does not get raised more often.... like, why is zionism [in this form] considered such a great thing for jews. why it's seen as paradise? ... consolidated ghetto bitches ready to have those who hate you drop the bomb on you and eliminate you all... why's that paradise? i dont get it. so persecuted that this seems like an improvement? ... madnesses upon madnesses. solution space lays elsewhere. elsewhere than what serves those who hate you and want to destroy you, and convince you you're the superior getting paradise, and use you to be the rotters, under pretence of getting to remain clean handed by making your victims out to be the ones doing what you're doing to them, not realising you're being played into being the puppet assassins of the enemy of your other enemy, in that stupid of not realising there are no enemy there, and that it's the enemy getting you to do such things, that you need cease empowering. ... which seems like a simple blip for a full grok glimpse for me. ... but a struggle to put in coherent words. attercoparchy weaving new layers deepening the matryoshka matrix of plato's cave, the layer cake, the overton window onion, compartmentalisation, idk... hard to word it. suffice to say, there be goodnesses far better outside control of this deception that makes us each all our own worst enemies. [edit edit: and again, that was one of the things that were first appreciated most highly of judaism... that one had to think, [editeditedit: beware devils claiming to be god, stuff like that] and not just obey blindly. now look.]]

[2023-11-10 07:37:54] wow. so, the falseflaggery of 10/7... so much more extremely obviously israeli, like not even trying... i guess they just presumed to have sufficient media control. just blatant ... i say, listening to the grayzone's "Israel's military was ordered to attack Israelis on 10/7"

pps, you see the attercoparchy controlling the kakistarchies, right? not just tragedy of the commons and race to the bottom naturally generating kakistarchies, but also, opportunistically accelerated or entirely created from scratch, by whoever else pulling the strings, or seeping in the tendrils (strings or tendrils, depending on which side of the definition of attercoparchy one falls to... ruled by poisonous spider, or ruled by poisonous ulcer. ... i prefer the descriptive imagery of that, than (also useful) #theoctopusofglobalcontrol ). ... it gets murky at the "top".

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to the United States included yoga at the United Nations, an address to the U.S. Congress that promised strides in the bilateral partnership, and a lavish state dinner at the White House with 400 guests. President Joe Biden spoke of the “unlimited potential” of ties between India and the United States.

as in find your way to where you no longer defeat yourself with your subborn clinging to your self image as one who makes no such errors.
embrace the errors.
then you are on the path. then you are learning.
our confirmation bias, our cognitive illusions, are due eternal vigilance, to not succumb to their blinding arogance and mental/investigative/scrutinative sloth.
this is true whether stupid, or oh so much more clever.

because if you really are oh so much more clever, you will suffer more fuel on that fire.
and also, thinking you're oh so much more clever, is improbably true. not that i'm saying truth's always derivable, or even aproachable, through simple statistical analysis, but... since we're always going on a little information, and the dangerousness of how little that information is, can be worsened by how much littler we make it by our confirmation-biasing, cognitive illusions, our slothful lazy hastey grasp on shortcuts, we dont even realise, we're doing it, we dont even realise how little we have, and we tell ourselves we have a lot, we tell ourselves as much as we have, is a lot of what there is, even to the extreme, that it's all there is. unwittingly, we become know it alls, with next to nothing. and we think we're the smarty-est.
there's no shame in the truth.
we're not that smart.
we're not as smart as we think we are. no shame in the truth, that we think we're smart, and that we think that's smarter than we are.

wise enough to continue learning.
wise enough to catch ourselves from short-handed thinking.
wise enough to see when we have, and wise enough eagerly accept that, and even point it out to others. wise enough to accept we'll likely never absolutely be beyond this, and even more likely are not beyond it right now, and so reapplies the humility introspective vigilance, not to identify as one who has risen above it, but to persist in plucking away and batting away all the times it has happened already, and all the times more oncoming.

What is causing the blood clots from 'Died Suddenly'?

Red blood cells in vein
The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is remarkably effective at disrupting many critical physiologic processes both in the short term and in the long term.
I have always been drawn to understanding pharmaceutical injuries, and for years I've participated in support groups for a variety of different toxic pharmaceuticals (e.g. Lupron or Ciprofloxacin and other fluoroquinolones). In addition to being able to witness the human costs of these drugs firsthand (and the gaslighting those forgotten patients experience), this exploration has given me a great deal of perspective on the shared and differing toxicities these drugs share along with what methods can help the myriad of seemingly unrelated symptoms that emerge.
Once the COVID-19 vaccine rollout started, my focus understandably shifted toward them. Although many of the pathologies I saw resembled what I had seen with other toxic drugs (and to some degree responded to the same therapies), there was also a lot I had not seen before, which demonstrated these vaccines were in a different league of toxicity from what I was used to. I have thus spent the last two years trying to understand exactly how these vaccines kill and injure people.
Visual Persuasion
The documentary Died Suddenly was recently released and went viral. I am personally a bit torn on this movie because it covers a lot of important ground and is presented in a highly persuasive manner that will red-pill many who are on the fence, but it also has a variety of errors and tangental conspiratorial content which makes it prone to being debunked and discrediting this message to those who were on the fence about it.
One of the challenges we have reached in the current political system (concisely articulated by Scott Adams) is that for many "facts don't matter; persuasion is everything." Because we live in a sea of information, that information is overloading and people typically default to selecting the "facts" which are presented to them in the most persuasive manner possible (e.g. in an emotionally provocative manner or by being spammed simultaneously on every media source). This is also why I believe understanding the propaganda which underlies the medical-industrial complex is so important for one's health and why that was the focus of my previous article.
One of Scott Adams' key points is that visual metaphors tend to be the most persuasive because they are easy for the audience to comprehend and viscerally experience (this was a rhetorical tactic frequently utilized by Trump). I have often thought about this point in regard to heart disease, as the cholesterol hypothesis (which has made billions upon billions off toxic cholesterol-lowering drugs) for decades has failed by every metric, is completely unsupported by the evidence (this subject is further discussed here), yet despite all of that, the cholesterol hypothesis persists.
I believe the marketing genius behind the cholesterol hypothesis lies in how visually persuasive it is. This is because cholesterol obstructing the arteries (which is not what actually happens) can easily be analogized to a fat-clogged sewage pipe, and once the idea is explained to people it, along with the disgust it elicits can easily be visualized by a member of the public.
clogged pipe
In the case of the COVID-19 vaccines, although they have a variety of issues, the unique blood clots they form once observed in autopsies also fulfill that requirement, and hence are a home run for persuasion. Similarly, I felt their section represented by far the most persuasive part of Died Suddenly and for that reason, I created a 15-minute abridged version of the documentary only containing the sections focusing on blood clots. Keeping the previous in mind, watch this and notice how persuasive it is to you (I believe this is the primary part of the video that is red-pilling people). Scenes in this video will also be important for understanding technical details within later parts of the article.
Pretty convincing wouldn't you say?
Unfortunately, as alluded to above, there is one huge issue with this segment. The live clot at the end has nothing to do with the COVID-19 vaccinations (it came from a surgery posted on youtube a year before the vaccines entered the market). I suspect this arose because someone re-uploaded that clip and labeled it as being from the vaccines (either as a prank or as clickbait) and then it was re-shared until the Died Suddenly team got it and added it in since it supported their narrative. This illustrates why it is so important to have strict editorial controls on any production, especially one that is difficult to revise after the fact and will be viewed by large numbers of people. I debated clipping that ending part off (since it makes this a much worse clip to share), but did not as I felt it is important for our community to be transparent and open about any inaccuracies on our end.
This clip has also inspired other readers to investigate these claims. They sadly have reported a similar situation to that being seen in the medical field. Readers have also told me directly that funeral home directors when spoken to will admit they are seeing these clots but are afraid to speak out on this issue as they fear losing their businesses and livelihoods (e.g. one funeral home in Washington was cancelled for doing so). After publishing this article, a reader (I verified the credentials of) who works at funeral homes in the South also reached out and attested that although blood clots are not rare at all to see during the embalming process, they and colleagues have started seeing large clots like those described here that have never been observed before.
The Blood Clot Mystery
A significant portion of my focus on the COVID-19 vaccination issue has revolved around trying to understand what is causing these unusual blood clots (both the coffee ground looking microclots and the large fibrous clots). I view the blood clots as being particularly important as they may be the key to understanding why a delayed death effect (often taking around 5 months) is frequently observed in vaccine recipients.
Before we go further, I would like to note that the best article (courtesy of the Epoch Times) I have seen summarizing the characteristics of these clots can be found here and is thus an important reference piece for understanding this question. One of the key points this article illustrates is that the elemental composition of these fibrous structures indicates they are not primarily forming from blood (e.g. they may be in regions of poor circulation). Another key point is that smaller normal blood clots (as shown within Died Suddenly) could be found at the terminal regions of the fibrous clots suggesting they may have originated there and that a normal process had initiated at these clots but then gone awry.
At this point, I have heard more hypotheses than I can count that many sincerely believe in. These include:
- These are normal blood clots being misinterpreted by large numbers of embalmers who have been sucked into a mass formation and any post-mortem clot would look like that if it was preserved in the manner the embalmers chose to do so here.
- The mRNA vaccines also somehow produce synthetic toxic proteins inside the body that self-assemble into these deadly blood clots.
- These fibrous clots are self-assembling nanotechnology whose growth somehow responds to 5G or Bluetooth.
Because these fibrous clots are so unusual they have understandably provoked a great deal of confusion and uncertainty which has led many to grasp for rather unusual explanations over what is occurring. In situations like these, I believe that if a simple and comprehensive explanation can be identified, that represents the best approach for addressing this dilemma. Fortunately, one has been.
What Creates the Fibrous Clots?
Two months ago I put forward the model I believe best explains what is occurring (for those wishing to learn more, the article below goes into a significant degree of detail that is beyond the scope of today's article):
The long and short of it was that this largely unknown August 2021 paper explains exactly why these fibrous clots are forming.
In the study, a blood clotting simulation outside the body was created. Normal blood, blood from COVID-19 patients on the first day of symptoms before any treatment, and normal blood exposed to a low concentration of COVID-19 spike proteins were then exposed to a key clotting factor, thrombin. When those clots were observed the study found:
Normal blood behaved as expected.
Normal blood with dilute spike protein formed a denser fibrin clot.
Small amounts of amyloid (abnormal protein aggregations) were present in the fibrin clots formed.
Much more (a statistically significant increase) in amyloid was present in the fibrin clots formed by normal blood mixed with dilute spike protein.
To illustrate the differences (the green signal corresponds to amyloid detection):
4 PPP boxes
When these blood samples were then studied in a simulation of blood flow, it was observed that while normal blood created regular clots on the side of blood vessel walls, once the spike protein was involved (either through an acute COVID-19 infection or dilute spike protein being added), the fibrin clots became irregular, in the case of COVID-19 resisted removal from blood vessel walls, and due to their size and irregularity, obstructed critical flow within the vessel.
Note: I have also observed massive highly unusual blood clots in critically ill hospitalized patients with COVID-19 that required surgical removal, such as a dear friend who refused to vaccinate and got very ill from delta. Large COVID-19 clots are much rarer than what is being observed with the vaccine and as of now I have not been able to verify if they had the same fibrous characteristics.

Similarly, when the blood was looked at under electron microscopy, significant structural abnormalities could be seen:

The most important finding of the study can be found at the end:
Mass spectrometry showed that when spike protein is added to healthy PPP, it results in structural changes to β and γ fibrin(ogen), complement 3, and prothrombin. These proteins were substantially resistant to trypsinization, in the presence of spike protein.
In short, the authors found that when spike protein was added to blood samples, it caused irregular (misfolded) fibrous clots to form that were resistant to the enzymes researchers and the body (e.g. the digestive system) uses to break down protein structures. This most likely means the enzyme the body typically uses to break down fibrin clots cannot do so for these misfolded fibrous clots.
It should also be noted that COVID-19 blood clots and vaccine blood clots do not respond to many of the anticoagulants that traditionally are effective, further suggesting misfolded blood clots are a key aspect of the disease process (my team also suspects the spike protein directly interacts with clotting factors, e.g. it appears to bind and inactivate heparin, a commonly used anticoagulant which also stabilizes the zeta potential of the body).
The authors further discussed these misfolded clots and cited their potential role in long-haul COVID-19 as a rationale for the current experiment described here which sought to determine the effects of adding spike protein to normal blood:
Interestingly, plasma from T2DM and form healthy individuals, immediately digested fully after a first trypsinization step, however, persistent microclots remained in the plasma samples from Long COVID/PASC and from acute COVID-19 samples, still contained large anomalous (amyloid) deposits (microclots). After a second trypsinization, the persistent pellet deposits were solubilized. We detected various inflammatory molecules that are substantially increased in both the supernatant and trapped in the solubilized pellet deposits of acute COVID-19 and Long COVID/PASC, versus the equivalent volume of fully digested fluid of the control samples and T2DM. Of particular interest was a substantial increase in α(2)-antiplasmin (α2AP), various fibrinogen chains in both acute COVID-19 and Long COVID/PASC digested microclots.
In summary, this study demonstrated that there are always slightly irregular or misfolded fibrous blood clots being formed within the body, but at the same time the body has a mechanism for removing them. However, once small amounts of spike protein are added into the mix (at concentrations I believe will be reached through vaccination) those irregular fibrous clots spiral out of control and come to dominate the clotting process. At this point, the body's mechanisms for removing them are no longer able to outpace this growth function and they instead grow until they are constrained in size by the blood vessels they are within like the large fibrous clots shown in Died Suddenly.
This is particularly problematic because the spike protein attacks the endothelium (creating large numbers of initiating events for blood clots) and because the mRNA vaccines were engineered to persist in the body so they could produce enough spike proteins to elicit an antibody response sufficient to meet regulatory approval, which unfortunately led to them continuing to produce toxic spike proteins for a prolonged and possibly indefinite period.
In my own opinion, this study was a pivotal point of data that should have brought an immediate halt to the spike protein vaccine roll-out but instead has languished as a relatively unknown study. Nonetheless, the authors continued their research and later published a more detailed paper on what they had discovered about these fibrin amyloid clots which they proposed as the underlying cause of long-haul COVID (but for political reasons obviously could not link to the vaccine).
Postscript: Following publication of this article, a reader alerted me to this study from a different research time (summarized here) which using another methodology also observed that the spike protein was causing irregular and inflammatory fibrin clots to form which resisted degradation.
Why Does the Spike Protein Cause Misfolding?
Numerous observations suggest that something about the spike protein causes protein misfolding to occur. In addition to the abnormal fibrous clots described above, the spike protein vaccination has also been associated with other misfolding diseases. Rapid cognitive decline in the elderly is frequently observed following COVID-19 vaccination. This observation inspired a recent series in here focused on the actual causes of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia (which are often associated with amyloid plaques in the brain), many of which are rapidly accelerated by the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, along with the therapeutic strategies for addressing them.
One of the most well-known protein misfolding diseases that leads to dementia, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, is an extremely rare and fatal brain disease that occurs in approximately one in a million people. Shortly before he passed, Luc Montagnier published a case report of 26 cases of CJD following vaccination, and since that time others have also observed this link.
Similarly, when my team reviewed a large number of vaccine injury reports submitted to Steve Kirsch in a survey, out of the final 607 submissions analyzed, there were three reports of fatal prion diseases (two of which were specified to be CJD, the third most likely was as well), meaning this disease was observed by approximately 0.5% of respondents (which is much more than the one in a million lifetime occurrence rate). We found this very concerning, especially given that CJD normally takes over a decade to develop, so it was even more worrisome that many cases have already emerged.
Another well-known protein misfolding disorder that has been associated with the spike protein is amyloidosis. Amyloidosis is linked to various severe chronic diseases (Pfizer for example recently invested in a treatment for cardiac amyloidosis so they appear to be aware of this issue).
One paper that examined this issue identified seven regions of the spike protein which fulfilled the structural criteria necessary for the formation of amyloids, and when tested, these regions were found to cause amyloids to form. In the same way that the abnormal fibrous clots gradually build up within the vaccinated until a fatal tipping point is reached, I believe the same may also be occurring with amyloid depositing in the tissue (hence Pfizer's recent investment in cardiac amyloidosis).
Others have also noticed the prion-forming characteristics of the spike protein. One of the most definitive reviews of the subject (by authors including Stephanie Seneff and Peter McCullough) highlighted a variety of mechanisms to explain the prion-forming behavior of the spike protein and its ability to enter the central nervous system (e.g. via the spleen where the vaccine nanoparticles were known to accumulate). Interestingly, authors also noted that of the variants, Delta (which my colleagues suspect was engineered) had a higher score for prionogenesis than the original Wuhan strain, whereas Omicron had a substantially lower score.
Richard Flemming also has done a great deal of work to expose both the lab origin of SARS-CoV-2 and the various treaties its developers violated to do so (and thus must be criminally sentenced for). A key point he makes in an important presentation summarizing his work is that the spike protein used in the synthetic COVID vaccines differs from that of the original SARS-CoV-2 virus, but the one part of the spike protein which was perfectly preserved in the vaccine was the prion-forming section of it. A shortened version of that presentation highlighting the key parts including the prion domain discussion can be found within this article.
In addition to the models demonstrated above, I also believe there is another model which can also explain the protein misfolding and account for the microclots which are occurring.
Zeta Potential and COVID-19
One mission of this Substack has been to bring the concept of zeta potential to the awareness of the general public as I believe it is critical for understanding many different diseases including COVID-19 and both spike protein and non-spike protein vaccine injuries.
When a substance is mixed in water, it has three options, not mix with it (typically either floating to the top or settling to the bottom), dissolve like salt, or form a colloidal suspension. Stable colloidal suspensions are typically finely dispersed microparticles and as that stability is lost, the particles clump together in larger and larger agglomerations which eventually will separate out from the surrounding water.
The colloidal stability of biological solutions however is mostly overlooked in modern physiology (other systems like Chinese medicine through blood stasis hold a greater focus on it). When the colloidal stability of a living organism is sufficiently impaired, severe diseases, such as those created by blood cells clumping together and impairing circulatory function can occur (similarly early researchers showed malaria causes death by creating severe blood clumping in the largest blood vessels, something Pierre Kory has also observed occurs in critically ill patients via IVC ultrasound immediately preceding their deaths).
A key factor that determines if colloidal solutions clump together or remain dispersed is the balance of electrical charges present (positive charges agglomerate, negative charges disperse). Zeta potential provides a way to model this immensely complex balance and explains why tiny amounts of positive ions with high charge densities (e.g. aluminum) are capable of agglomerating colloidal suspensions (e.g. sewage or blood), and why microstrokes often follow injections of these substances (similarly, poor zeta potential increases the viscosity of the blood, and when it is improved, a variety of cardiovascular or circulatory disorders also improved).
When COVID-19 started, I realize that many of the unusual symptoms reported by colleagues were identical to what I would have associated with an agent severely impairing the zeta potential of the body as so many different fluid circulations appeared to be impaired or showing signs of agglomeration (e.g. the frequent blood clots). After some research, I concluded the spike protein had the most likely electrical composition to account for these facts, at which point I became extremely apprehensive over vaccine designs which mass produced spike protein within the body (much of what is now known about the spike protein's toxicity was not known then).
In Fleming's previously mentioned presentation which discussed the prion domain within the vaccine spike protein, he also provided one of the best examples I have seen of how a small amount of a zeta potential reducing agent can rapidly cause blood cells to clump together. This was done by showing the immediate effects of each of the spike protein vaccines on healthy blood (this effect is most likely the result of PEG on the lipid nanoparticles).
The South African researchers quoted earlier in this article likewise observed the same phenomena:
Blood incubated with spike protein showed erythrocyte agglutination, despite the very low concentration of the spike protein. An increase in platelet hyperactivation, membrane spreading, platelet-derived microparticle formation were noted due to spike protein exposure.
Further as detailed here, this clumping is also consistently seen on the blood smears of vaccinated individuals:
2 blue boxes
This rapid clumping process is most likely what causes sudden death immediately following vaccination in susceptible individuals, such as this recent example where this ardent advocate of vaccination died 7 minutes after receiving the new booster in the pharmacy.
As we circle back to Died Suddenly and the abridged version presented here, consider the scenes where the blood of these deceased individuals is shown (I am putting this video in again here so you don't need to scroll up).
When you watch it, three characteristics of that blood should be immediately apparent:
- There are a large number of microclots present (which as discussed here is likely how other zeta potential impairing vaccinations frequently cause neurological injuries).
- It appears more viscous.
- The blood separates from its surrounding plasma (this is best seen in the scenes where it is shown within a test tube, such as the one below).
blood separation
Zeta Potential and Protein Misfolding
Proteins are manufactured by stringing long chains of amino acids together (likewise, the mRNA technology works by directing the body to assemble the specific long chain of amino acids the mRNA was programmed to code for). Once a protein forms, that long chain then folds into a three-dimensional structure that comprises the fully functional protein.
A variety of factors influence that protein folding, and because of the enormous functional consequences of a misfolded protein, a significant focus has been placed the cellular components that prevent this. That discipline has observed states of high stress (e.g. heat shock) inhibit this process for both animal cells and invading microorganisms, and present evidence suggests protein misfolding is a regulatory mechanism cells use to adapt to stress (this is also a foundational principle of the alternative hypothesis of what causes Alzheimer's disease).
In the case of COVID-19, this process appears to play a key role in mediating the diseases process (so a variety of treatments that target it have been explored, although I believe utilizing fevers is probably the most direct solution). I have not been able to find any studies directly assessing the effect of the cytotoxic spike proteins on the regulation of protein folding. However I do know that vaccine injuries are characterized by a chronic activation of the cell danger response, and it is known in the CDR that the heat shock protein response is altered (which plays a large role in protein folding).
Although a great deal of research has gone into observing the factors which influence protein folding, what is often not appreciated about that process is that this folding occurs because the protein chain becomes a suspended colloid in water. As a result the exact shape a protein takes is heavily dependent upon the protein's specific electrostatic interactions with the surrounding environment (and the region of water within the protein).
For this reason, the same factors that influence zeta potential or colloidal stability in other systems also affect protein stability (e.g. the same agents that collapse the physiologic zeta potential are also known denature proteins [lose their folded configuration] and cause them to precipitate out of solution, while those that improve zeta potential stabilize proteins in solutions). One of the easiest models for understanding the denaturation process is when egg whites are heated. Prior to this happening, the colloidally suspended proteins that compose the egg whites are transparent and can easily mix into water, while after this happens they become a solid white mass which separates from water when the two are mixed within (you can also use other denaturing agents besides heat such as alcohol to transform egg whites).
I thus strongly suspect that the physiologic alterations of zeta potential created by a positive charge of the spike protein also affects the folding of a protein and contributes to the protein misfolding detailed within this article. Unfortunately, when I attempted to research this question, I was not able to find any references that I felt adequately assessed it and I was only able to find passing references to it (e.g. a general acknowledgment that denaturing agents impair proper protein folding). Thus, at this time it remains an unproven hypothesis (I feel the papers have to be out there, so once I get them I will revise this position).
Conclusion
For the reasons detailed above, I believe video footage of the unusual blood clots being discovered by embalmers is a winner for convincing the public there are major problems with these vaccines. This principle also holds for the scientific community as entrenched dogmas are often not overturned until proof of the alternative argument can be directly seen (Navy submarines spotting undersea tectonic rifts made tectonic drift become accepted while being able to see bacteria under a microscope did the same for Semmelweis's theory about needing to wash hands to prevent postpartum sepsis).
At the same time, because of the way our scientific system presently works, many have a great deal of difficulty believing anything unless a model exists to explain how something causes something else to happen. Although that initially appeared to be a significant stumbling block for linking the vaccines to these deadly clots, as this article shows, there are clear mechanisms to support it (note: in the previous article I went into additional compelling mechanisms to explain the severe blood clots such as the spike protein vaccine frequently causing antiphospholipid syndrome).
Although there was much I appreciated about Died Suddenly (e.g. it touched upon the history of elitist population control which I presented detailed evidence of here alongside a summary of the known previous attempts to develop and deploy sterilizing vaccines on the public), I feel the lack of editorial control will be extremely problematic later on. Since easily falsifiable information exists in the video that will be focused on in any attempt to debunk it, that will significantly weaken its message and allow the vaccine blood clots to be associated with other unprovable conspiracy theories.
This is a shame because the blood clot aspect of the film is so strong and can easily stand on its own. Additionally, I feel it is very likely that when Died Suddenly is searched in the future, instead of the large numbers of news reports emerging that show where this happened, we will instead be greeted with an endless number of articles debunking those parts of the movie.
The producers of Died Suddenly have my genuine sympathy for these oversights, as I recognize from writing here on complex subjects how easy it is despite my best efforts to make factual errors and as much as I hate to say this "spread misinformation" (this is why I and colleagues periodically volunteer to vet medical information being compiled to challenge this vaccination program).
At the same time however, I also believe once these mistakes are recognized, they need to be addressed. Since I can edit my own written posts after publication, I recognize it is much easier for someone like me to do that than a video publisher, but I nonetheless believe it must also be seriously considered for a documentary that had a limited release to a video-sharing platform.

Here is a good link on what might be causing the clots.

From a Midwestern Doctor, well thought out and deserving respect.

Gator - I guess the joke is on me and I don't mind......I'm tired of the battle I won't deny...didn't even realize the article was the same till now.....oh well. Oh well. Still, I won't deny I tried to kiss her once, and she didn't say no.....she knew the difference twixt a kiss in person versus one shared online.

Gator - you are a good online friend Gator Man, it is so unfair the schedule the Bills have had this season, but I ain't complaining. Adversity builds character is what they say....
However, I can't deny, sometimes I do myself a disservice by not being properly deliberate. There is a song about this my daughter shared with me a long time ago, and later if the time seems proper, I'll post it......it is about slowing down and it is a good song.
Peace,

Blood clots naturally when there is a cut that needs sealing; ordinarily the cut is a localized event and does not affect the ENTIRE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM; death by a million cuts, across every blood artery, vessel, and capillary. D-dime tests on the vaccinated show clotting on capillaries, the smallest of blood vessels.

So, if they believe they know the cause of the clots, they can work on a cure? I would like to think that this article is one of hope for all those who have had the shots and been injured. Unlike Stew Peters fear mongering, let's look for solutions. This is progress, right?

McFluffin If the documentary is 'fear mongering', then what do you call all the media and government propaganda these past two years in order to get you vaxxinated? Public health alerts?

It is good to critique the documentary because the covidians will do all they can to discredit the film and its makers. That being said, the documentary has no doubt opened many eyes that were previously closed to this side of the covid story and I doubt anyone would mind if the Midwestern Doctor's suggested edits were incorporated.
While that is going on, more films like this should be made.

We have been exposed to novel genetically engineered pathogens, designed through gain of function experiments to make people seriously ill. In response, we are bypassing the natural safeguards of digestion by injecting material directly into the body. This material contains microscopic lipid nanoparticles. Particles that are designed to breach the protective cell wall. It also contains instructions designed to alter the way DNA works and/or expresses itself. Once inside the cell, these are capable of transcribing themselves into our nuclear DNA, corrupting its structure.
Once DNA is corrupted, it loses its incredible ability to overcome the second law of thermodynamics. We become subject to the laws of decay, rapid decay. If you want to know why so many people are becoming ill and dying this is it in a nutshell...

'Bad Hombre Calamari Surrounded by the walking dead with ticking clocks' by GOOD CITIZEN NOV 29
*
Those poor souls lay on their backs on the embalmer’s cold metal tables getting calamari tweezed out of their veins and arteries like a post-mortem seafood factory.
Having their blood drained slowly with black coffee grinds mixed in because that’s the only speed impure blood drains from the victims of Big Pharma assassinations.
Brought to the planet by, Pfizer.
There are some bad hombres in this world, but these hombres aren’t the ones being shuttled across the border in the millions by Narco gangs working with the Biden administration and the Clinton-Soros controlled child protective services paedo trafficker Wayfair Yandex industrial complex.
As bad as all that is, and as brazen as they are advertising their paedo agenda everywhere they can get away with it, including high fashion advertising campaigns, they don’t fill blood vessels with calamari.
Still, we can’t look away from either atrocity and still carry a clear conscience. And yet the media and all the digital nodes of gormless hand-picked nonces with the largest platforms are completely muted on all of it..." [Link]

parzival That was an entertaining article. Thanks for the link.
At one point the author suggests that, " The U.S. has moved light years beyond Banana Republic status. A whole new category of a corrupt dictatorial surveillance police state with child trafficking, open borders, paedophilic reverence, and corporate socialism, with absolutely no shame about any of it, will need to be invented to accurately label what the nation has become. "
Donald Trump coined a phrase that accurately describes the U.S. today; a shithole country.
With respect to the vaccination uptake quoted in the article, I think it's low. According to other sources, " Over a year into the biggest vaccination campaign in history, more than 12.7 billion doses have been administered across 184 countries. The latest rate was roughly 7.07 million doses a day. ” [Link]

CDC quietly confirms at least 118k Children & Young Adults have ‘Died Suddenly’ in the USA since the roll-out of the COVID Vaccines BY THE EXPOSÉ ON NOVEMBER 30, 2022 [Link]
*
"Official figures quietly published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) confirm nearly half a million children and young adults have died ever since the Food & Drug Administration first granted emergency use authorisation to a Covid-19 vaccine in the USA.
This has sadly resulted in nearly 118,000 excess deaths compared to the 2015-2019 average.
The figures also reveal that there have been 7,680 more excess deaths among children and young adults in 2022 so far compared to the same time frame in 2020 at the height of the alleged Covid-19 pandemic.
But the year 2021 was by and large the worst year for deaths among 0 to 44-year-olds, with 291,461 excess deaths in total, nearly 60,000 more than occurred in 2020. And according to the official CDC figures, this was mainly due to a mysterious sudden rise in deaths among children and young adults from around week 31 onwards.
Unfortunately, according to data published by the UK Government, that “mysterious” sudden rise which has contributed to half a million American children and young adults dying since late 2020, is most likely due to the Covid-19 injections..."

Why Trump and the GOP love Hungary’s authoritarian leader
“The reason that Orbán keeps winning is he has the control of a dictator,” said one political scientist. “So the question is, what are the Republicans in it for?"
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/viktor-orban-cpac-trump-gop-hungary-leader-rcna40199
He has extolled the value of racial purity, is vehemently anti-immigration, has cultivated close ties with Russia’s Vladimir Putin and was a speaker at this week’s Conservative Political Action Conference, known as CPAC, in Dallas.\
\
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, 59, is widely criticized around the world for systematically dismantling his country’s nascent democracy during his 12 years in power — but that hasn’t stopped him from emerging as a darling of many on the right in America.\
\
Orbán told a cheering crowd of conference delegates that he and other conservatives were in a battle to protect Western civilization against the forces of liberalism and mass migration.

To suppose that God Almighty has confined his goodness to this world, to the exclusion of all others, is much similar to the idle fancies of some individuals in this world, that they, and those of their communion or faith, are the favorites of heaven exclusively; but these are narrow and bigoted conceptions, which are degrading to a rational nature, and utterly unworthy of God, of whom we should form the most exalted ideas.
Ethan Allen (1738-1789) American businessman, land speculator, revolutionary, writer
