I 100% agree with you, John Leake. "This" is not going away. Better to pull it close and keep an eye on all going on.

Tami Bone's avatar

I have to add that this scares me more than modified gene editing therapies foisted on the world. Still, I think it’s best to pull it close. We are truly living in wild times.

Nice sketching out of the dilemmas faced by political leaders - do they try to control the rich and powerful by developing personal relationships with them, or do they allow regulators to rein them in. Neither arrangement is particularly satisfactory, especially as keeping your enemies close gives the appearance of conspiring with them or at least being sympathetic to them. I suppose there is no ideal solution, although the ideal one would be to shackle them legislatively so they are unable to influence politics. Unfortunately, all the legislators have long ago been bought off by industry, so the legislators don't dare bite the hand that feeds.

I agree John Leake! It is early and we just need to stay vigilant and be prepared to speak up loud and long if needed. I think two things are true about Trump. He loves his country and he loves himself. I don’t think he will sell us out this time around and part of that is how it reflects on him later. He wants to be remembered as one of the greatest Presidents ever. He can’t get that if he sells us out. There are other subtle points I could make but we all need to figure out for ourselves what is going on or what will occur. Very few of us if any have our fingers on the pulse of history in the making.

We must educate the public who don't read Substack.

We also all have our own versions of what is right or wrong. I we are capable of critical thought these views change through out our life times. One thing for sure is that the next few years will be very interesting.

He has visions of grandeur, the president that beat cancer. What he doesn’t understand is that this tech has been in the research pipeline for many years and it kills, which is why it hasn’t been rolled out yet! Instead, they did the biggest experiment in human history on the entire world for a manmade Covid virus. That didn’t turn out well either. Yet Trump promotes more of this. It’s just outrageous. The man makes zero sense. Keeping enemies close indeed😂

I am inclined to trust Trump’s approach. As long as the tech titans don’t receive preferential business treatment I will maintain that outlook. And Trump has plenty to worry about with the deep state. They would love to keep their hands in the gov’t cookie jar. They certainly aren’t beyond taking him out in order to keep the ill gotten wealth flowing to them.

I've been telling people that the fight is NOT over. It's only just begun.

Don't jump all over John for pointing out the historical reasons why this move by Trump is beneficial no matter the mRNA implications. This "Stargate" program isn't in place and won't be anytime soon.

In the meantime, we still have allies within the administration, and one ally in particular who secured Trumps election, and that ally is Robert Kennedy Jr.

If Bobby is not confirmed at HHS, there will be no in depth safety studies of mRNA or any other vaccines. Nor will Pharma ever be held liable for lying to the American people about the safety studies they used to get EUA approvals for the Covid DNA therapy THEY renamed a "vaccine." The already vaccine injured need a recourse to hold Pharma responsible for their DNA contaminated products, and without Bobby, no will will ever be able to sue a vaccine company for their injuries and loss of loved ones.

Don't just get mad, get busy and write to your Senators and tell them to confirm Bobby so we can get corrupt science and administration out of our Health Agencies.

I believe your assessment is spot on,Mr. Leake.

How did we let these people become this rich and this powerful? It’s not capitalism- if they all cashed in we couldn’t pay them! They are getting wealthy through ill gotten ways- if Trump rid the rules of foundations gates would owe a pile of money- and soros too! Clinton’s!! Why use these guys- why not find someone who is just starting out? We have brilliant minds! Look at the guy they just suicided?! He was a brilliant minds!

Steve's avatar

I am firmly capitalist, however I believe some guard rails are needed to prevent oligarchs who have more power than many countries from engaging in mischief. Strict limitations on what they can do with all that power, worldwide treaties so that they can't just go somewhere else and do it.

Linda's avatar

I am not in favor of mNRA anything! I'm only saying that I agree with John Leake...we keep our friends closer, and our enemies (in this case billionaires) closer. And, I do believe we have alternatives - we can pay cash for our medical expenses and we can seek out like minded medical practitioners (FLCCC). I will quote Dennis Prager who has said that the only person we agree with 100% of the time is ourself. Give Donald Trump some slack. He's spent 4 years figuring out what he would do if he had the opportunity to be President, again. He is surrounding himself with the best of the best. RFK Jr. if confirmed, wants all vaccines to be tested, Jay Bhattachyra as well. Breathe!

Peter Sawchuk's avatar

Personally I do not even agree with myself 100% of the time. When the time comes that you stop questioning yourself you obviously stop thinking critically. This is why so many people are so close minded.

Listen to Tucker interview about a whistleblower’s that was found dead. He worked for Altman

The 1% control world governments, not the other way round.

Dr. Paul Alexander's avatar

love John, my brother but not the right approach here...Trump disrespected us all by bringing that conference

Steve's avatar

I hope it is a case of keeping his enemies close.

Nancy Parsons's avatar

Excellent postscript, John!

Angela Stachnik's avatar

Hopefully RFK Jr will get Trump’s listening ear soon

Doreene Close's avatar

It’s wishful thinking. Trump either does not understand the damage that these warp speed mRNA drugs have done, or he just doesn’t care. Standing up on day two to promote this tech is certainly not how one harnesses these maniacs.

Roisin Dubh's avatar

AI is tech and mRNA is medicine. I am fine with him meeting about AI, but mRNA is for scientists to work on and make it safe or trash it.

Doreene Close's avatar

The idea of combining this science, with tech, when the mRNA “tech” has been on the research table for a decade, or more and failed, is not something Trump should get behind.

Rita, inasmuch as we are all rapidly becoming living, breathing data centers, constantly signaling and being influenced by EMF radiation, radio and microwave frequencies, the two areas have long merged. And there is obviously a current OBSESSION WITH INJECTABLES, which is very, very suspicious! Also consider that the SELF-REPLICATING mRNA shots have already been approved, as far as I know. Once in the.body, they will stay and can never be detoxed, no matter how well or poorly the organism can tolerate it.

Roisin Dubh's avatar

I think the self-replicating mRNA shots were approved in Japan. The mRNA covid shots were not safe or effective. We can't stop AI, we have to regulate how it is used. The mRNA covid technology is a failure. I don't see how it could ever be made safe, but if gene therapy could save a child dying of cancer, I would not want to oppose it. I just can't close the option for parents in desperate situations.

Lilo Bauer-Freitag's avatar

So we did approve (like Japan) a self-amplifying mRNA shot: Zapaneran (Kostalve), in Nov 2023.

Roisin Dubh's avatar

Wow, where is it being used? Boosters?

Lilo Bauer-Freitag's avatar

Where is it being used? Yes, for the Omicron boosyer.

Lilo Bauer-Freitag's avatar

We could stop AI, if only we wanted to. It is due time that we DO begin stopping some things which take us into the abyss, with a few, potentially positive side effects before impact. This is how we are always being seduced.

Roisin Dubh's avatar

AI though is a great tool why would we stop it? It can process enormous amounts of information at lightning speed, it can't 'think' though. So, it would be foolish to have it 'think' for us.

Lilo Bauer-Freitag's avatar

A terrible tool. Just the other day I was exploring new home.owner insurance and was shocked.to learn that the insurance agent (in another state) was looking at detailed pictures of.m my dwelling, backyard, fixtures i added and never photographed, etc. I feel violated, invaded, offended and robbed by it all!

Lilo Bauer-Freitag's avatar

Rita skeeter, information about whom and what, who harvests it and to whose benefit and to what end? Aren't enough personal data already stolen from us and used to tyrannize us, as in credit reports, for example? Why do we always sit still for it and endure it, until we accept it all as inevitable and confuse not for.the real thing? All people.and things becoming nothing more than data collections, to be activated or canceled, at someone else' discretion.

“When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain.” Napoleon
