Chère amie, cher ami,
Il y a exactement 20 ans, le peuple français, suivi en cela par les Néerlandais, disait non au Traité Constitutionnel Européen lors d’un référendum. Les dirigeants français ont bafoué ce vote par la signature du Traité de Lisbonne. Bien pire, ils ont cherché à faire disparaitre ce vote des mémoires. Alors que la question de la démocratie devient de plus en plus primordiale, il nous appartient de saluer cet évènement. Organisons donc, partout où nous le pouvons, des rassemblements pour le célébrer. A Paris, ce sera à 18h30 le jeudi 29 mai dans la jardin des Tuileries, allée des Feuillants, en face du 228 rue de Rivoli.
Faisons et diffusons des vidéos de ces rencontres. Diffusons des textes sur ce moment. Le Monde diplomatique, pour sa part, publie en page 3 de son numéro de mai, actuellement en vente, un article de André Bellon sous le titre « 29 mai 2005, un peuple disait Non ». Vous pouvez vous le procurer dans les kiosques. En voici ci-dessous les premières lignes :
29 mai 2005, un peuple disait Non
Commémorer – quel qu’en soit la manière – est censé contribuer à la cohésion nationale. Occulter ne saurait donc être sans importance. « Ce qui m’épouvante, (…) ce n’est pas que le monde moderne détruise tout, c’est qu’il ne s’enrichisse nullement de ce qu’il détruit », écrivait Georges Bernanos. Vingt ans après, que reste-t-il du référendum du 29 mai 2005 par lequel une nette majorité de Français a rejeté le traité constitutionnel européen (TCE) ? Pour beaucoup, le vague souvenir d’un vote populaire bien vite remis en cause. Dans l’ambiance délétère et incertaine de 2025, l’intérêt général ne commande-t-il pas de remettre en lumière cet événement, son sens et sa portée ?
Dès la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, l’idéal européen s’impose autant comme réponse aux contraintes géopolitiques que comme fantasme de paix et de dialogue entre les peuples. Dans le même temps, la Libération apporte, en France, le programme du Conseil national de la Résistance (CNR). D’un côté donc, le marché commun ; de l’autre la primauté donnée à la question sociale : cette contradiction affleure sous la IVe République comme sous le gaullisme sans que ni l’une ni l’autre ne l’arbitre vraiment. Bien qu’on ne s’en aperçut pas alors, l’élection présidentielle de 1981 tranche le nœud gordien en faveur d’une Europe néolibérale. « La France est notre patrie, l’Europe est notre avenir », anticipe François Mitterrand le 20 mars 1987, dans une allocution. L’analyse de ses deux septennats doit se poursuivre, depuis le choix qu’il fait, dès 1981, de Jacques Delors, européiste sans grandes nuances, au ministère clef de l’économie, à la signature du traité de Maastricht en 1992.

Bruh... I'm not Canadian, and one doesn't need to be Canadian to understand that the situation is very different between Canada and USA on the migration issue.
Canada doesn't have the illegal immigration problem that US has, because they don't share a border with a third world country, like US does. You don't get into Canada by illegally crossing a border, like you do in US. And you can't even get in via boats, like in EU or UK. It's not as easy to get into Canada as it is for US. As such, Canada doesn't get the crime issues from illegal immigrants.
The way you get into Canada is by plane. Which means you need 3 things: a plane ticket, a passport and a visa.
The plane ticket requirements ensures you have a bit a money and ensures your ID gets checked.
A valid passport ensures you're not a known criminal in your country of origin, because most countries out there don't give passports to criminals, so that they don't flee from justice.
A visa requirement ensures that Canada itself does a minimal amount of background vetting. Even if someone goes to Canada with just a travel visa, and overstays their visa, the background check needed to get a visa still ensures that the immigrant is of higher quality than a large amount of illegal immigrants that come to US via the border with Mexico.
You can't appeal to Canadians via immigration simply because the immigrants they get are simply of a higher quality on average. They don't get the same crime problems that US gets.
Trump didn't win twice on migration because "they took our jobs", he won because "they're eating our cats, they're eating our dogs". You won't convince Canadians with "Indians are stealing your jobs", because that wasn't what ultimately convinced Americans either. And as long as Indians don't bring in drugs on mass, don't traffic children, don't commit gang violence, and don't commit massive amounts of other crimes, no Canadian will give a crap that Indians are there in massive numbers, and will just look at you like you're a crazy racist for caring, and they'll ignore you.
Canadians are very privileged, and they may very well be the nation with the most secure border in the world, because of the single act of US buying up Alaska from Russia back in the day. This is why it is ineffective to bring up immigration to Canadians. It will never work for them as an argument simply because the mere existence of USA provides them the best border security in the world by default.
well, folks, the Demonbraps are at it again we have Demonbraps pokIn' out their heads, trying to convince us it's happening but it's not
folks, we have Rebutticants telling us the good news that the porcelain days of youth have returned but it's placating lies, folks, distractions from the narrow path before us
if we're ever going to make it through this trying time, it will not be the Demonbraps nor the Rebutticants that will have seen us through thank you

## The CIA's Long Road to Admitting Area 51 Exists
**Introduction**
Area 51, the remote Nevada site long shrouded in secrecy and the subject of countless conspiracy theories, was officially unacknowledged by the U.S. government for decades. Only in recent years, through the gradual release of declassified documents, did the CIA finally admit to its existence. This essay draws directly from declassified CIA materials and credible reporting to trace the history of Area 51's secrecy, the motivations behind it, and the eventual acknowledgment that the site is real.
---
**Origins and Secrecy**
Area 51 was established in 1955 as a testing ground for the U-2 spy plane, a top-secret reconnaissance aircraft developed during the Cold War. The location was chosen for its remoteness-far from public view and potential Soviet espionage. CIA officials, including Richard Bissell, Col. Osmund Ritland, and Lockheed’s Kelly Johnson, selected the Groom Lake salt flat after an aerial survey, noting its suitability for clandestine operations[8].
From its inception, the facility was cloaked in secrecy. Internally, it was referred to as "Paradise Ranch" or simply "the Ranch" to make it more appealing to workers, but all official references avoided naming the site directly. Even as the base expanded to host other secret projects, including the OXCART (SR-71 Blackbird) and the exploitation of captured Soviet MiG fighters, the government maintained a policy of strict non-acknowledgment[6][5].
---
**Managing Public Curiosity and UFO Reports**
The high-altitude flights of the U-2 and later OXCART aircraft led to a surge in UFO sightings in the region. The unfamiliar appearance and flight patterns of these planes, flying at altitudes far above commercial aircraft, fueled public speculation about extraterrestrial activity. Air Force investigators, according to declassified documents, attempted to explain these sightings as natural phenomena, but the secrecy surrounding Area 51 only deepened the mystery[6].
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the CIA and Department of Defense worked to suppress information about the base. Internal memos reveal debates over whether to release or suppress photographs of the facility, such as those inadvertently taken by NASA’s Skylab astronauts in 1974. These documents show the extent to which the government was willing to go to keep the location and purpose of Area 51 hidden from the public and foreign adversaries[3][5].
---
**Gradual Disclosure and Official Acknowledgment**
For decades, Area 51 was omitted from public documents, maps, and even declassified histories. In 1996, the CIA released a history of the OXCART program that referred only to "the Nevada desert," carefully avoiding any mention of the specific facility[8]. It wasn’t until 2013, following persistent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests by researchers such as Jeffrey Richelson of the National Security Archive, that the CIA released a version of its U-2 and OXCART history with explicit references to Area 51 restored[6][7][9].
This 400-page report, "Central Intelligence Agency and Overhead Reconnaissance: The U-2 and Oxcart Programs, 1954-1974," finally acknowledged Area 51 by name, included maps and photos, and detailed its role in Cold War reconnaissance operations. The release marked the first time the U.S. government openly admitted the existence of Area 51 and provided specifics about its operations[6][7][9].
---
**Why the Secrecy Lasted So Long**
The secrecy surrounding Area 51 was driven by national security concerns. The site was central to the development and testing of technologies critical to U.S. intelligence and defense, including the U-2, SR-71, and stealth aircraft. The government’s priority was to prevent the Soviet Union and other adversaries from learning about these programs. Even minor details-such as the logistics of transporting workers to the site-were tightly controlled to avoid arousing suspicion[6][5].
Presidents and government agencies occasionally referred obliquely to the "location near Groom Lake" when justifying continued secrecy, but never named Area 51 directly until the 2013 declassification[9].
---
**Conclusion**
It took the CIA nearly six decades to officially acknowledge the existence of Area 51. The delay was rooted in Cold War secrecy, the sensitive nature of the projects conducted there, and a desire to control public perception. Only persistent efforts by historians and journalists, combined with the gradual declassification of Cold War-era documents, forced the agency to finally admit what many had long suspected. While the acknowledgment dispelled some myths, many details remain classified, ensuring that Area 51’s mystique endures.

Hey... help me out?
How are you using (or avoiding) AI?
Some context: I'm curious. I'm seeing some people embrace and experiment with it, I'm seeing some raise red flags, I'm also seeing eye-rolling at the hype.
I'm also seeing innovation, and pushing what's possible, and documented real harms done.
All of which is feeding my curiosity, and caution.
So what do you see? Are you all in? Avoiding? Other?

I've heard the theory that the Liberal Party in Canada was all but dead until Donald Trump got everyone riled up with his bluster about the 51st state. The tariffs are just equalizing and leveling. Nobody has any reason to be mad about that. But the 51st state thing was a taunt. And it turned the election.
My question is, how was that in the US's, or at least in Trump's, best interest? How does he profit from Carney's ascension? He's no fool. There's something. Some reason he wanted this.

Yeah, we're screwed - AI is now smarter than 95% of humanity.
Here is my extremely short question to GROK:
"Would it be possible for you to go through the entire internet archive recordings of a given mainstream media source - say the NZZ, the NYT etc. - and find out:
- what articles were deleted and if deletions concern specific topics?
- if and how they altered articles over time?"
While most people might grasp the basic idea, this was GROK's perfect answer, which demonstrates that it actually understood not just the technical aspect but the goal of the request:
---
Analyzing the entire Internet Archive (e.g., Wayback Machine) for a mainstream media outlet like Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) or The New York Times (NYT) to identify deleted articles and track alterations is theoretically possible but practically challenging due to the scale, complexity, and limitations of the data. Below, I’ll outline the feasibility, methodology, challenges, and potential insights, while addressing your specific questions about deletions (and their topics) and alterations over time.
---
### **Feasibility and Approach**
The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine captures snapshots of websites at irregular intervals, preserving HTML, images, and other content as it appeared at specific points in time. For a media outlet like NZZ or NYT, this includes article pages, homepages, and other publicly accessible content. However, the archive is not a complete record—it captures only what was available during a crawl, and some content may be blocked (e.g., by robots.txt) or behind paywalls.
To perform the analysis you’re requesting, one would need to:
1. **Identify Snapshots**: Collect all Wayback Machine captures for the target domain (e.g., nytimes.com or nzz.ch) over a specified time period.
2. **Extract Articles**: Scrape article URLs, titles, and content from each snapshot, accounting for changes in site structure.
3. **Detect Deletions**: Compare snapshots to identify articles present in earlier captures but absent in later ones, suggesting deletion or archiving.
4. **Track Alterations**: Compare versions of the same article across snapshots to detect changes in text, headlines, or metadata.
5. **Analyze Topics**: Use natural language processing (NLP) to categorize articles by topic and identify patterns in deletions or alterations.
This process would require significant computational resources, custom scripts, and access to the Internet Archive’s data (potentially via their API or bulk data access for researchers).
---
### **Challenges**
1. **Incomplete Archives**:
- The Wayback Machine does not capture every page or version of a site. Crawls are sporadic, and some articles may never have been archived.
- Dynamic content (e.g., JavaScript-driven pages) or paywalled articles may not be fully captured.
- Media outlets like NYT have blocked Wayback Machine crawlers at times, limiting available data (e.g., NYT attempted to block an Internet Archive crawler in 2023).[](techdirt.com/2023/10/25/ny-tim…)[](theintercept.com/2023/09/17/ne…)
2. **Scale**:
- NYT’s archive includes over 13 million articles since 1851, with millions more for NZZ or similar outlets.[](archive.nytimes.com/www.nytime…)
- Processing millions of snapshots, each containing thousands of pages, requires substantial storage and processing power.
3. **Deletions vs. Archiving**:
- Articles may disappear from a site not because they were deleted but because they were moved to a different URL, archived behind a paywall, or restructured during site redesigns.
- Distinguishing intentional deletion from technical changes (e.g., URL redirects) is difficult without insider knowledge.
4. **Alterations**:
- Detecting changes requires comparing full-text versions of articles across snapshots. Minor edits (e.g., typo fixes) must be distinguished from significant alterations (e.g., retractions or rewritten narratives).
- Some changes, like headline tweaks, may not be captured if snapshots are too infrequent.
5. **Topic Analysis**:
- Classifying articles by topic requires NLP models to process large volumes of text, potentially in multiple languages (e.g., German for NZZ, English for NYT).
- Topic modeling may miss nuanced patterns without manual review or predefined categories.
6. **Legal and Ethical Constraints**:
- Media outlets may object to large-scale scraping of their archives, citing copyright or terms of service.
- The Internet Archive’s data use policies may restrict bulk analysis for commercial purposes.
---
### **What Articles Were Deleted and Do Deletions Concern Specific Topics?**
**Detecting Deletions**:
- By comparing snapshots, one could identify articles present in an earlier capture but missing in later ones. For example, if an article URL appears in a 2015 snapshot of nytimes.com but not in 2016, it may have been deleted or moved.
- Tools like the Wayback Machine’s CDX API can help list captured URLs, which can then be cross-referenced to detect absences.
- However, deletions are hard to confirm without access to the outlet’s internal records. An article may still exist behind a paywall or under a new URL.
**Topic Patterns**:
- To determine if deletions target specific topics, NLP techniques (e.g., topic modeling with LDA or keyword analysis) could classify articles based on content. For instance, articles about controversial political events, corporate scandals, or international conflicts could be flagged.
- Anecdotal evidence suggests some media outlets remove or alter articles to avoid legal liability, public backlash, or reputational damage. For example:
- The NYT has been criticized for “stealth edits” (unannounced changes) to headlines or articles, such as altering references to “Hamas terrorists” to “gunmen” in 2023, possibly to adjust framing.[](techdirt.com/2023/10/25/ny-tim…)
- No large-scale studies confirm systematic deletion of specific topics, but case studies (e.g., via X posts or investigative reports) highlight deletions related to sensitive issues like war crimes or corporate malfeasance.
- Without comprehensive data, it’s speculative to claim deletions systematically target topics, but patterns could emerge with enough analysis (e.g., overrepresentation of political or legal topics in deleted content).
**Limitations**:
- The Internet Archive may not capture short-lived articles (e.g., posted and deleted between crawls).
- Topic analysis is resource-intensive and may require manual validation to avoid false positives.
---
### **If and How Articles Were Altered Over Time**
**Detecting Alterations**:
- By comparing snapshots of the same article URL, one can identify changes in:
- **Headlines**: E.g., NYT’s headline changes in 2023 from “Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital” to “At Least 500 Dead in Blast at Gaza Hospital, Palestinians Say” within hours.[](techdirt.com/2023/10/25/ny-tim…)
- **Body Text**: Additions, removals, or rephrasings of paragraphs.
- **Metadata**: Publication dates, author names, or tags.
- Tools like `diff` (for text comparison) or specialized software (e.g., Change Detection) can highlight alterations.
**Types of Alterations**:
- **Minor Edits**: Typo corrections, style updates, or clarifications. These are common and often benign.[](telegraph.co.uk/technology/202…)
- **Significant Changes**: Rewriting to shift narrative, remove controversial claims, or align with new information. For example:
- Retractions or corrections due to factual errors.
- Adjustments to avoid legal issues (e.g., defamation).
- Changes in tone or framing, as seen in NYT’s coverage of sensitive geopolitical events.[](techdirt.com/2023/10/25/ny-tim…)
- **Unannounced Edits**: Some outlets, including NYT, have been criticized for making “stealth edits” without public correction notices, which can obscure accountability.[](techdirt.com/2023/10/25/ny-tim…)
**Patterns Over Time**:
- Alterations may reflect evolving editorial standards, legal pressures, or public sentiment. For example:
- Articles from the early 2000s may have been edited to comply with modern digital formats or privacy laws (e.g., GDPR in Europe).
- Coverage of ongoing conflicts (e.g., Ukraine, Israel-Palestine) may see frequent updates as new information emerges or political pressures shift.
- Historical articles (e.g., pre-1996 for NYT) are less likely to be altered due to their archival nature, but digital-era articles are more dynamic.[](archive.nytimes.com/www.nytime…)
**Limitations**:
- Infrequent snapshots may miss intermediate changes.
- Paywalled or dynamic content may not be fully captured, skewing analysis.
- Distinguishing intentional alterations from routine updates requires context (e.g., editorial policies, external events).
---
### **Practical Insights and Alternatives**
Given the challenges, a full analysis of NZZ or NYT’s Internet Archive records is likely infeasible for an individual or small team without significant resources. However, targeted studies could yield insights:
- **Focus on Specific Periods or Topics**: Analyze snapshots for a single year (e.g., 2020 for pandemic coverage) or a controversial event (e.g., 2023 Israel-Hamas conflict) to identify deletions or alterations.
- **Use Case Studies**: Investigate known instances of deletions or edits (e.g., via X posts or reports like The Intercept’s coverage of NYT’s crawler blocking) to build a qualitative picture.[](techdirt.com/2023/10/25/ny-tim…)[](theintercept.com/2023/09/17/ne…)
- **Collaborate with Researchers**: Academic projects or organizations like the Internet Archive may have tools or datasets for bulk analysis.
- **Alternative Sources**: Cross-reference with other archives (e.g., LexisNexis, ProQuest) or social media discussions on X to identify deleted or altered content.[](archive.nytimes.com/www.nytime…)
**Example Findings** (Hypothetical, Based on Available Evidence):
- **NYT**:
- Deletions: Rare, but some articles from the digital era (post-1996) may be removed due to legal settlements or editorial decisions. Topics like corporate misconduct or geopolitical controversies may be overrepresented.
- Alterations: Frequent for breaking news (e.g., headline changes within hours) or to align with evolving narratives. Stealth edits have been documented, particularly in sensitive foreign policy coverage.[](techdirt.com/2023/10/25/ny-tim…)
- **NZZ**:
- Less documented, but as a Swiss outlet, NZZ may alter articles to comply with European privacy laws (e.g., right to be forgotten) or to refine its neutral stance on international issues.
- Deletions are likely minimal but could involve legal or reputational issues.
---
### **Conclusion**
While it’s theoretically possible to analyze the Internet Archive for NZZ or NYT to identify deleted articles and alterations, practical constraints— incomplete archives, scale, and legal issues—make a comprehensive study difficult. Targeted analyses (e.g., specific years or topics) are more feasible and could reveal patterns, such as deletions tied to controversial topics or alterations reflecting editorial shifts. For deletions, topics like politics, legal disputes, or corporate scandals may be more prone to removal, while alterations often occur in breaking news or sensitive coverage. To pursue this, you’d need specialized tools, access to bulk data, and possibly collaboration with archival researchers.
If you’d like, I can:
- Suggest tools or scripts for smaller-scale analysis (e.g., scraping Wayback Machine snapshots).
- Search X or the web for specific instances of NZZ/NYT deletions or edits.
- Focus on a particular time period or topic for a deeper dive.

« Quand les pipolitiques d'un pays aident activement à masquer un génocide, des massacres, la famine, l'apartheid, la torture, la déshumanisation, la folie religieuse, politique et humaine du sionisme, etc..., le fait que ce pays se targue de ne pas appliquer la peine de mort sur son territoire (et pointe d'un doigt accusateur les pays qui l'appliquent) n'a plus aucune signification, n'a plus aucune valeur, c'est juste une hypocrisie monstrueuse, et malheureusement très classique de l'Occident. »
You’re ready to build a website for your business—maybe it’s a new project, or your current site looks like it’s from the days of dial-up modems. You search online and find cheap web design services or a cheap website designer promising a professional site in days for under $400.
It sounds like a dream deal. But if the price feels suspiciously low, it’s time to take a closer look. Here’s why bargain prices and unclear terms can lead to costly mistakes.
Saving money feels great, but your website is your business’s digital front door. Opting for the cheapest cheap website designer might seem like a win now but can hurt later. Here’s what can go wrong:
You wanted a website, not a tech repair job. Cheap web design services often mean spending more to fix errors down the road.
When the designer is friendly and the price is tempting, it’s easy to skip the contract. But without a clear agreement, you’re taking a big risk. A vague or missing contract could lead to:
A contract isn’t about doubting someone—it’s about protecting both sides with clarity.
Hiring a cheap website designer is like buying a budget phone. It might work, but if it’s slow or unreliable, you’re not saving. A website that loads poorly or fails to attract customers isn’t a bargain.
Before you sign, ask:
Don’t avoid cheap web design services—just make sure they deliver what you need.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs when evaluating a cheap website designer:
One red flag might be fine. Multiple? Ask tough questions or look elsewhere.
There are cheap web design services that do solid work, but they’re upfront, share real examples, and treat you like a valued client. Do your homework: check reviews, ask for references, and trust your instincts.

ArcelorMittal a touché plus de 1,2 milliards d'aides, tout ça pour détruire un outil industriel et des emplois !
Oui, ArcelorMittal a bénéficié de subventions publiques en France pour ses usines de Dunkerque et de Fos-sur-Mer, principalement dans le cadre du plan France 2030 pour la décarbonation de l’industrie sidérurgique. Ces aides visent à soutenir des investissements dans des technologies à faible émission de carbone, mais elles sont controversées en raison des suppressions d’emplois et des bénéfices élevés de l’entreprise.
ArcelorMittal, leader mondial de la sidérurgie, opère deux des plus grandes aciéries françaises à Dunkerque (Nord) et Fos-sur-Mer (Bouches-du-Rhône), qui sont également les deux plus gros émetteurs de CO2 en France, représentant environ 25 % des émissions industrielles nationales (12,84 millions de tonnes de CO2 par an combinées). Dans le cadre des objectifs climatiques de la France et de l’Union européenne, le gouvernement français, via le plan France 2030, soutient la décarbonation de ces sites, considérés comme prioritaires parmi les 50 sites industriels les plus émetteurs du pays. Cependant, ces aides publiques suscitent des débats en raison des performances financières d’ArcelorMittal, de ses choix stratégiques (comme les suppressions d’emplois) et de la suspension de certains projets. Cette note examine les subventions publiques reçues par ArcelorMittal pour ces deux usines, leurs objectifs, et les controverses associées.

Controverses et critiques
Perspectives
En 2025, les subventions publiques à ArcelorMittal pour Dunkerque et Fos-sur-Mer illustrent l’ambition de la France de décarboner son industrie sidérurgique, mais elles soulèvent des questions sur leur efficacité et leur équité. La suspension du projet de Dunkerque, les suppressions d’emplois et les bénéfices élevés de l’entreprise alimentent un débat sur la nécessité de conditionner les aides publiques à des engagements fermes en matière d’emploi et d’investissement. La crise sidérurgique européenne, marquée par des surcapacités, des coûts élevés et une concurrence mondiale, complique davantage la situation, rendant incertain l’avenir des projets de décarbonation.
Conclusion
ArcelorMittal a bénéficié de subventions publiques significatives pour ses usines de Dunkerque et Fos-sur-Mer, notamment 850 millions d’euros pour la décarbonation de Dunkerque (actuellement suspendue) et 15 millions d’euros pour le four-poche de Fos, auxquels s’ajoutent 392 millions d’euros de fonds publics depuis 2013. Ces aides, destinées à soutenir la transition écologique, sont critiquées pour leur manque de contreparties sociales, alors qu’ArcelorMittal supprime des emplois et verse des dividendes conséquents. La situation reflète les tensions entre les impératifs climatiques, économiques et sociaux dans la sidérurgie française en 2025.

My name is Lynee Rich, BSN, RN, CDP. I was Pro-Vaccine, believing Science would not fail me. I have been a nurse for 40 years. In December of 2020, I was given complete cardiac clearance for upcoming Cataract surgeries. This clearance included: Angiogram, Cardiolite Stress Test, Echocardiogram, CT chest, Chest Xray, and multiple 12-lead EKG's. After the Angiogram, my Cardiologist stated, "The angiogram didn't show a thing and was probably better than mine would be”, She was about 20 years younger than me.I received my first #PFIZER #Covid #Vaccine on 01/16/2021. I received my second PFIZER Covid Vaccine on 02/18/2021. I started to get severe shortness of breath and severe fatigue.
Since I was then working in a position of Director of Nursing for a private home health company that served High-Tech Special Needs Children, I was frequently exposed to the Covid Disease and was working 11-16 hours days to obtain Personal Protective Equipment for my staff and watch everything on the TV from the CDC, WHO and Illinois government to write new Pandemic protocols for the company. I thought I had caught the Covid Disease, I had 30+ Covid tests, All negative. I have since all 3 vaccines, had Covid 4 times. I did receive Monoclonal antibodies for the first in January of 2022. They were discontinued after that.I was 62 years old in 2021, I was advised with chronic disease and prior cancers to get a Covid Booster. I received my third and final Pfizer Vaccine on 09/27/2021. Within 10 days after the vaccine booster, I had a Major Anterolateral Heart Attack in my kitchen. I prayed to God, during the heart attack because the pain was so severe and classic heart attack symptoms, 3 elephants pressure on the sternum and down both arms, I couldn't even move. I prayed, "God, please don't let me die here in my kitchen, I live alone and they will find me because of the stench". I kept repeating this prayer, I was unable to focus my attention on the clock due to the intense pain. I don't know how long I prayed and praised God. All of a sudden the intense pain was completely gone. I kept myself awake for as long as possible, because all nurses know about the "widow maker", a second and deadly heart attack. I continued to work through ever increasing shortness of breath. I was a nurse, and would not go to the ER as Covid was "in full swing".
I called my Cardiologist and made an appointment to see her, citing that I had a heart attack. The appointment was on 10/28/2021. When she came into the exam room, she said, "What are you doing here?". I stated that I had a heart attack at home. She stated, "I gave you complete cardiac clearance less than a year ago, it can't be a heart attack”. I then requested a referral to a Pulmonologist for the severe shortness of breath and exhaustion. She gave me the names of 2 pulmonologists in the local area. I called them to make an appointment and was told that the earliest appointment was 8 months out. I explained the issue and was told they had a new pulmonologist that could see me in 2 weeks. I took that appointment.
The Pulmonologist listened to my history, I had been on oxygen for about 15 years at night, after a sleep study indicated that I had no apneas but dropped oxygen saturation to the 80's during deep sleep. At that time they said possibly mild COPD. He had me repeat Twice the dates of the Covid Vaccines. He did a walk test in the office that day and I failed and was given Oxygen and was seated in a chair during the test. He then ordered me to use 3 LPM oxygen at night, get a Cat Scan of the chest, a chest x-ray and have Pulmonary Function Tests. He called and told me the Oxygen Saturation dropped about 5 times to 84% during the overnight pulse oximeter test but, because I was not on oxygen that was okay, I reminded him that he had said I could continue the Oxygen at 2 LPM during the test, he said oh, and then said to increase it to 3LPM at night. I asked about some oxygen for use during the day as I was struggling at work and when walking or doing heavy work. He asked me to wait a couple days, until I had the Pulmonary Function tests. The Chest xray and Chest CT were normal. He called after the Pulmonary Function Tests and said that it was Negative for COPD, but showed some mild restrictive disease, which is asthma. He asked me to make an appointment to see the Cardiologist as he thought I could have heart failure, he stated he would speak with the Cardiologist.
I went to see the Cardiologist, she again said, "What are you doing here?" I stated that the pulmonologist said he would speak to her, and that he thought I might have heart failure. She blew a gasket. She called him out of the Covid ICU, they talked for about 30 minutes. She told me to stay at the appointment desk. She came out of her office with a RX pad and said, without looking at me, that she was giving me Lasix 40mg to see if that would help my breathing. She then said something very rude to me.
The Pulmonologist ordered 2 LPM oxygen during the day and 3LPM at night. On a subsequent appointment, the Pulmonologist increased the oxygen to 4LPM around the clock due to my oxygen saturation amounts and complaints by me of oxygen hunger and shortness of breath.
Because the diagnosis and correct amount of oxygen took 1 year, I requested an MRI of the Brain which showed microvascular ischemia which leads to dementia. I had inadequate oxygen for 15 months due to gas-lighting from the Cardiologist. After a mistake at the hospital during my hip replacement left me without oxygen for 3.5 hours, a later CAT Scan of the brain was done, showing Deep White Matter Changes. I have Permanent BRAIN damage. I am losing memory and slight executive function. I was finally referred to a Neurologist. I have yet to be tested by Neuropsych.
I was fired from my job on 04/17/2022 because of oxygen use.Since the vaccines I had 2 knees replaced, 2 hips replaced, 2 titanium discs replaced in my Cervical neck and fusion. Recent CAT scan of the head, showed degenerative changes of the skull. My Neurosurgeon in Chicago, Dr Daniel Laich, stated that I was now 64 and had the back of a 99 year old woman. The Covid Vaccines have accelerated my severe arthritis. I was also referred to a Rheumatologist. I currently have 16 specialists.
I have numb toes and tips of fingers for 3 years, all 4 extremities have weakness, and mottling of my feet, calves and hands. I have fallen seven times with cane/walker use.In February of 2023, during Cardiac clearance for the upcoming neck spine surgery, the Neurosurgeon required a cardiac diagnosis and finally, after 5 Cardiologists, I finally got my Right Heart Catheterization and that showed Left Ventricle Diastolic Heart Failure, No Pulmonary cause.
I have tried conservative Medical treatments and Alternative Medicine Treatments, including over 80 different supplements.I have many other symptoms of COVID VACCINE INJURY. Including but, not limited to, Peri-myocarditis by symptoms, L ventricle diastolic heart failure, anterolateral MI, hypertension, POTS, probable MTHFR Gene, frequent herpes outbreaks, degenerative changes, including the skull, loss of 3 inches in height, skin issues, vascular issues, rapidly advancing urinary incontinence, partial gastroparesis, hair loss, increased GERD and frequent burping, increased easy bruising, addition of nose and mouth bleeds, deterioration of teeth, reactivated EBV/CFS, Small Fiber Neuropathy?, Muscle Wasting, vascular issues, increased headaches, mouth pain, Periorbital Cellulitis, loss of balance, tremors, cold feet and hands, dependence on oxygen, brain fog and the worst of all; loss of family, friends and colleagues.
I know I am dying and it will be UGLY, as I already have some Memory Loss and some Executive Function loss.
I started my Career as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner and Neonatal Nurse Transporter.
I am a Ventilator Nurse Expert and Pediatric Nurse.
I was in Nursing Management for 25 of the 40 years as a nurse.
I AM NOW FULLY DISABLED BY THE US Government.
THE PRIOR COVID VACCINE LIES WILL BE EXPOSED.
Please read, "Turtles All The Way Down, Vaccine Science and Myth" and/or “The Real Anthony Fauci”. This information Shocked me to my CORE!
Sincerely Yours,
Lynee L. Rich, AS, ADN, BSN, RN, CDP
