The Forgotten History of Neurological Vaccine Injuries

chose to conceal them under the erroneous belief that the public good of vaccination justified hiding anything which would create vaccine hesitancy—a cruel mentality that is still used to push unsafe and ineffective vaccines.

•Many of those injuries such as a spreading paralysis of the body mirror the “one in a million” injuries we still see from vaccination but to preserve the mythology of vaccines being “safe and effective” centuries of vaccine toxicity ...

•These concerns peaked in the 1980s, leading to widespread attention on the harms of vaccination and the enactment of a Federal law to prevent these neurological injuries. To protect the industry, its key provisions were all deliberately violated, and the injuries it recognized (e.g., severe brain damage) were renamed so they could be swept under the rug.

One of those other things is Music, when you listen to native African music, much of it is beautiful, blacks did some of the best Jazz, they were responsible for a lot of rock-n-roll early on, and yet the shit that passes for "music" today. Well whites aren't doing all that well either. Guess I'm just old.

The Atrocious Conviction of Reiner Fuëllmich
#ReinerFuëllmich sentenced to additional 3 years and 9 months in prison.
#quote #GregReese
May 15, 2025
gregreese.substack.com

"As many are unfortunately keen to forget, in 2020, the world was locked down for the claim of a deadly pandemic that still only exists in words. We were then coerced into taking an experimental mystery shot that genetically alters us and contaminates us with nanotech. In July of 2020, an accomplished class-action lawyer who beat Volkswagen and Deutsche Bank, Reiner Fuëllmich assembled the Corona Committee to help build a case against those responsible for the greatest crimes against humanity.

For a little over three years, Reiner Fuëllmich and his committee collected interviews and testimony from whistle-blowers, experts, and witnesses up until October of 2023, when he was kidnapped in Mexico, deported to Germany, and detained on allegations of embezzlement. After his arrest, committee member, Viviane Fischer, began publicly attacking Fuëllmich.

A leaked dossier from German intelligence instructed agencies to seize control of the Corona Committee, to silence Reiner Füllmich, and to disqualify him from running for public office.

“An analysis should be carried out to assess the possibilities of a declaration of incompatibility that purely prohibits holding political offices due to proven anti-democratic tendencies. Preparation must be made for the initiation of criminal proceedings based on the evidence collected against Reiner Fuëllmich. This entails collaborating with prosecutors and preparing charges for established legal violations and offenses. If necessary, constructions are to be weighed and suitable third parties are to be recruited.”

~Dr. Christof Miseré reading the leaked document
To accomplish their task of destroying Reiner Fuëllmich, the German Intelligence apparatus utilized core members of the Corona Committee. After years of work, personal money was depleted and a loan was drafted to borrow money from donations. Fuëllmich used his own money as collateral to repay the loan. This official documented loan was made between Viviane Fischer and Reiner Fuëllmich and the court had no way of proving embezzlement. And so they claimed that it was not a loan, but rather, ‘trust agreements.’ A claim that relies solely on the testimony of Viviane Fischer, who claims that they were “sham contracts,” which should implicate her as well. But she is not being prosecuted.

Fischer was paid a 70,000 euro advance for a fantasy book she is writing. Other members conspired with a notary to steal the one-point-one-five-eight million euros that Fuëllmich was putting up as collatoral. Money that they admitted in court to still having access to.

Despite the sloppy lies, the judges go along with it. Last month, Reiner Fuëllmich was convicted and sentenced to 3 years and 9 months in prison for embezzlement of donations. The year and a half he’s already spent in jail is not being considered for time served. The German intelligence services have deployed everyone from bottom feeding child-traffickers working for the police, to the politicians and Judges to derail the efforts of Reiner Fuëllmich. Which should be of no surprise. The tens of millions murdered by a coercive mystery shot are not making the history books. This massive crime is still ongoing. The COVID shots are still on the child vaccine schedule. And people are still dying of heart attacks and turbo cancer."

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
  • Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
  • Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.

too much go misdirection

Poking through layers of indirection in go trying to recover some efficiency.

Many functions in go take an io.Reader interface as input. This is a sensible default, allowing for streaming of data, instead of loading the entirety into memory. In some cases, though, we need the bytes. Which we may already have, in which case it would be great to simply use those bytes. Alas, this can be quite difficult.

context


I’m decoding some images. I’m using libavif and libheif via C bindings. For reasons primarily motivated by simplicity, I’m using the simple memory interfaces for these libraries, which makes it much easier to get the data from go into C. The streaming interface is much more work, and anyway the libraries would then just buffer the data internally, making another copy. Not every decoder fully works in a streaming fashion.

So the primary do the work function takes a []byte and passes it to C, and there’s a wrapper that does things the go way with an io.Reader, which does a full read into a temporary buffer before sending it along. Now, as it happens, my application also uses []byte internally because that’s what I’m getting out of libsqlite3 (because again, the streaming interface is much trickier to wire up) and also because that’s what you get when doing RPC with encoding/gob. I think this is not an unusual scenario.

bytes


What I would like is for my image decoding function to notice that the io.Reader it has been given is in fact a bytes.Reader so we can skip the copy. Anyone who’s spent any time looking around in the go standard library has noticed that similar shortcuts are commonplace. Interfaces are type checked against specific implementations, and then optimized code paths are taken. Well, we can do the check, but it doesn’t immediately help, because bytes.Reader doesn’t expose its internal byte slice.

But it’s in there somewhere and I will not be denied.

    <span class=kw>if</span> br<span class=op>,</span> ok <span class=op>:=</span> r<span class=op>.</span><span class=st>(</span><span class=op>*</span>bytes<span class=op>.</span>Reader<span class=st>)</span>; ok <span class=st>{</span>
        data <span class=op>=</span> <span class=op>*</span><span class=kw>(</span><span class=op>*</span>[]<span class=tp>byte</span><span class=kw>)</span><span class=kw>(</span>unsafe<span class=op>.</span>Pointer<span class=cm>(</span>br<span class=cm>)</span><span class=kw>)</span>
    <span class=st>}</span> <span class=kw>else</span> <span class=st>{</span>
        <span class=kw>var</span> buf bytes<span class=op>.</span>Buffer
        io<span class=op>.</span>Copy<span class=kw>(</span>&buf<span class=op>,</span> r<span class=kw>)</span>
        data <span class=op>=</span> buf<span class=op>.</span>Bytes<span class=kw>(</span><span class=kw>)</span>
    <span class=st>}</span>

This seems to work in simple tests, but not when using the image.Decode function. A copy is still made. What’s wrong?

<span class=kw>func</span> Decode<span class=st>(</span>r io<span class=op>.</span>Reader<span class=st>)</span> <span class=st>(</span>Image<span class=op>,</span> <span class=tp>string</span><span class=op>,</span> error<span class=st>)</span> <span class=st>{</span>
    rr <span class=op>:=</span> asReader<span class=kw>(</span>r<span class=kw>)</span>
<span class=st>}</span>
<span class=kw>func</span> asReader<span class=st>(</span>r io<span class=op>.</span>Reader<span class=st>)</span> reader <span class=st>{</span>
    <span class=kw>if</span> rr<span class=op>,</span> ok <span class=op>:=</span> r<span class=op>.</span><span class=kw>(</span>reader<span class=kw>)</span>; ok <span class=kw>{</span>
        <span class=kw>return</span> rr
    <span class=kw>}</span>
    <span class=kw>return</span> bufio<span class=op>.</span>NewReader<span class=kw>(</span>r<span class=kw>)</span>
<span class=st>}</span>
<span class=kw>type</span> reader <span class=tp>interface</span> <span class=st>{</span>
    io<span class=op>.</span>Reader
    Peek<span class=kw>(</span><span class=tp>int</span><span class=kw>)</span> <span class=kw>(</span>[]<span class=tp>byte</span><span class=op>,</span> error<span class=kw>)</span>
<span class=st>}</span>

Turns out the go image library does its own type inspection, looking for a Peek function, and if it’s not found, wraps the reader in a bufio.Reader instead. So the bytes.Reader never makes it into our function as is.

Now, why doesn’t bytes.Reader implement Peek? It’s just a byte slice, it’s definitely possible to peek ahead without altering stream state. But it was overlooked, and instead this workaround is applied.

Just knowing that we have a bufio.Reader isn’t sufficient, because, again, it doesn’t expose the underlying reader to us. It’s fine, okay, whatever. I am a master of unception.

<span class=kw>type</span> bufioReader <span class=tp>struct</span> <span class=st>{</span>
    buf []<span class=tp>byte</span>
    rd  io<span class=op>.</span>Reader
<span class=st>}</span>
    <span class=kw>if</span> br<span class=op>,</span> ok <span class=op>:=</span> r<span class=op>.</span><span class=st>(</span><span class=op>*</span>bufio<span class=op>.</span>Reader<span class=st>)</span>; ok <span class=st>{</span>
        insides <span class=op>:=</span> <span class=kw>(</span><span class=op>*</span>bufioReader<span class=kw>)</span><span class=kw>(</span>unsafe<span class=op>.</span>Pointer<span class=cm>(</span>br<span class=cm>)</span><span class=kw>)</span>
        r <span class=op>=</span> insides<span class=op>.</span>rd
    <span class=st>}</span>

The new procedure is to look for a bufio.Reader and if so, unpack the inner reader. And then, as before, if it’s a bytes.Reader, we extract the bytes. The zero copy dream is alive.

trees


The bufio.Reader should probably expose the underling reader.

The bytes.Reader should really implement Peek. I’m pretty sure the reason it doesn’t is because this is the only way of creating read only views of slices. And a naughty user could peek at the bytes and then modify them. Sigh. People hate const poisoning, but I hate this more.

bytes.Buffer provides a Bytes function, but still not Peek, so even if you know that’s required or useful, it’s not a simple swap.

forest


I’ve said this before, but the way go does structural typing, and the way the standard library uses it, creates these shadow APIs where blessed types work better than others. It’s almost never documented what the secret requirements are. But can you blame me for wanting to join the party?

I think two interpretations are possible. Casting was added to the language, and it’s used throughout the standard library, thus proving the feature is useful. Or pessimistically, every cast is a design oversight. The approach (in general, not my specific wizardry) only scales to the extent people stick with the standard types. It’s obviously not going to be feasible to specialize on third party types.

Joe Biden’s Cancer

Which of the six Bidens was belatedly diagnosed with late-stage cancer?


Medical experts have declared it ‘inconceivable’ that former President Joe Biden’s ‘aggressive’ form of prostate cancer was not caught earlier by doctors.

The office of the 82-year-old former commander-in-chief announced his diagnosis Sunday, stating that Biden was suffering from a highly aggressive form of prostate cancer.

His cancer was given a Gleason score of 9 and a Grade Group of 5, a devastating stage of the rapidly-spreading disease. The diagnosis came days after doctors found a ‘small nodule’ on his prostate.

But upon hearing the news, some of America’s top doctors questioned how a former president could be diagnosed with a late stage of prostate cancer – which can be detected early with routine bloodwork recommended for all men over the age of 50.

‘It is inconceivable that this was not being followed before he left the Presidency,’ wrote Dr. Howie Forman, a professor of radiology and biomedical imaging, public health management and economics at Yale.


I think Biden #1, the real Biden, died years ago. And while it’s possible that it’s a vaxx-related turbocancer that has simply progressed much faster than normal, I suspect this is just cleaning house now that the Six Bidens are no longer politically valid.

TKP-ML CC Statement On The 52nd Anniversary Of The Martyrdom Of Ibrahim Kaypakkaya



Wherever there is Resistance and Struggle, there lives and fights Ibrahim Kaypakkaya!


We are on the 52nd anniversary of the murder of the communist leader comrade Ibrahim Kaypakkaya by the fascist Turkish state. The young communist leader from the Kurdish and Turkish nations, from various nationalities and beliefs of the working class and the working people of Turkey and the founder of our party I. Kaypakkaya was immortalized on May 18, 1973, in the Amed Prison after months of torture.

From the murder of I.Kaypakkaya to the present day there are lessons from the class struggle and the social practices of him to learn; this has proven why he was seen by the class enemies as the “most dangerous representative of revolutionary communism” and why he was murdered precisely for this reason. Comrade Kaypakkaya is still the nightmare of the Turkish state. Even to defend his views, carrying posters and banners with his picture on it is seen as a crime. This is not without reason, of course. Because Comrade I.Kaypakkaya shed light on the ground on which the Turkish state rose and moreover showed how to overthrow this reactionary fascist power.

The fear of Turkish fascism remains because I.Kaypakkaya is the product of the class struggle of our geography. It is the most advanced consciousness of the class struggle of these lands. As long as there are classes in our geography and the class struggle is continuing, this consciousness will continue to live and fight.

I.Kaypakkaya constitutes the communist aspect of the ’71 revolutionary movement, which is the glorious shake-up of the revolutionary movement against all kinds of parliamentarianism and reformism, which were defended in the name of communism and revolution in our geography. The revolutionary and communist movement, which was liquidated in the last period of the Ottoman Empire, the predecessor of the Turkish state, with the interruption of the struggles of the Armenian and Greek revolutionaries with genocide and the murder of the leading cadres of the TKP, including M. Suphi, reasserted itself with the ’71 revolutionary movement after nearly half a century of silence.

Within this movement, I.Kaypakkaya undoubtedly emerged as an exception. His being an exception among the revolutionary leaders of ’71 was not because he was murdered in torture as a young communist leader who “gave his head but not his secrets” after months of torture. What made him special and the reason why a significant part of the theses he put forward are still current is his defense of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the scientific theory of the era of imperialism and proletarian revolutions, and his understanding of dialectical materialism. Comrade I.Kaypakkaya is first of all a revolutionary in practice. He took part in the mass struggles of his period, “thrown into the vast sea of class struggle with his whole being” and by synthesizing the experience he gained from this practice with MLM and “throwing away the old and taking the new”, he led the communist movement to rise again in our geography.

The emergence of I.Kaypakkaya cannot be evaluated separately from the class struggles of the working class and the masses of the people, especially the youth in our geography. The developments in the international arena in the ’60s and especially the world-shaking storm of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution led by Chairman Mao in China found its echo in our geography; The class struggle evolved into a new stage with the anti-imperialist youth actions, the land occupations of the peasants and the great workers’ resistance on June 15-16.

I.Kaypakkaya took part in all these resistances and learned from them; The quality and path of the revolution in Turkey, the class structure and historical development of the Turkish state, especially the fascist character of Kemalism, the theses on the national question, especially the Kurdish national question, and even the theses on the class struggle in socialism, the communist party, especially the theses on organization and armed struggle are theses that he brought up through his fight.

I.Kaypakkaya’s strict adherence to the principle of being a revolutionary in practice first has caused the theses he put forward to continue to guide the revolutionary and communist movement while putting the communist movement in our country on its feet once again. That is why; although half a century has passed, a significant part of the theses put forward by I.Kaypakkaya for the revolution in Turkey remain up to date.

Being revolutionary in practice, building theory within practical revolutionary activity is an MLM principle and the guarantee of scientificity. Since the ground on which the Communist Party rised are the theses derived from the class struggles and mass movements of our country, the actuality and scientificity of these theses will continue to live, as long as the class struggle and mass movements continue.

52 years ago, those who thought that by assassinating Comrade I.Kaypakkaya, they destroyed the revolutionary communism that rose again as a product of the class struggles of the working class and the people in our geography were greatly mistaken. The flag that I.Kaypakkaya “raised high” continued to wave. Today, his name echoes in the language of the people’s youth, especially in the mass actions and struggles that took place on March 19 and afterwards, and his pictures are waving in their hands. I.Kaypakkaya is alive!

From Istanbul to Ankara, from Izmir to Dersim, from the Middle East to Germany and even from Bangladesh to India, from the Philippines to Nepal, the name and picture of Comrade I.Kaypakkaya echoes in all resistance and actions. This is what it means to be immortalized! The photo of him with a cap taken to make a fake ID is still enough to scare the ruling classes. Comrade I.Kaypakkaya lives and fights wherever there is resistance and struggle.

Ibrahim Kaypakkaya Lives and Will Live in Our Fight!

Natural lighting has such a profound effect on how energized I feel during workouts. I’ve read studies showing that light in fitness spaces can enhance performance and even boost serotonin. Anyone else notice they push harder when exercising near windows or daylight bulbs? lightinfitness.com

Chris Spargo made a sixteen minute video about pedestrian crossing designs in the UK: youtu.be/K1VBCjEcyJE *

Apparently, those new crossings with the light on the near side are called Puffin crossings. I’m quite uncomfortable with this new arrangement, and I think it is because it forces you to look down and sideways while the old arrangement made it easier to constantly scan the whole street and be aware of what vehicle traffic is doing.

* That’ll do as an alt text for a Youtube link, I guess.
