2. How Central Banks Plan to Control You | Catherine Fitts
In an exclusive interview with The Defender, Jessica Berg Wilson’s husband and uncle said Twitter censored Jessica’s obituary, because it attributed her death to vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia caused by the Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine.
Jessica Berg Wilson, a 37-year-old stay-at-home mother from Washington, was a healthy and vibrant woman who passed away suddenly on Sept. 7. According to Jessica’s obituary, doctors diagnosed her with vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT).
VITT is a rare, and sometimes fatal, blood-clotting condition triggered by COVID vaccines.
In an exclusive interview with The Defender, Tom Wilson, Jessica’s husband, and Thomas Ivancie, her uncle, said Twitter’s fact-checkers — who have never spoken with their family to verify Jessica’s story — affixed “misleading” and “misinformation” labels to her obituary.
Because of the Twitter labels, people couldn’t interact with Jessica’s obituary, or share the story.
On Aug. 29, Jessica went to a Seattle pharmacy to get her COVID vaccine and was told she would be receiving the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) shot. Jessica had no underlying health conditions, her husband said.
Jessica was “vehemently opposed” to taking the vaccine, “considering her stay-at-home mom status, state of good health and young age in conjunction with the known and unknown risk of an unproven vaccine,” Wilson said.
But Jessica was pressured to get the vaccine due to a vaccine mandate at their child’s school requiring “room moms” who wished to serve in the classroom be fully vaccinated.
According to Ivancie, Jessica became ill after receiving J&J’s vaccine, and went to the emergency room at UW Medical Center.
Ivancie said Jessica had been vaccinated and was suffering various severe symptoms. But attending doctors insisted on giving Jessica a COVID test and sent her home. They did not pursue any other treatment.
Once at home, Jessica lost consciousness and was taken by ambulance to UW Medical Center in Seattle, where doctors diagnosed her with VITT, Ivancie explained. A team of doctors worked to relieve pressure on Jessica’s brain, but ultimately, it was too late.
As a young mother, Jessica was a dedicated listener to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “RFK Jr. The Defender” podcast. She was well-informed about COVID vaccines and adamantly opposed to getting the injections, Ivancie said.
In Ivancie’s eulogy he said:
“Jessica died as a direct result of an experimental vaccine — a vaccine that she vehemently opposed taking. Jessica felt coerced. She felt robbed of her ability to choose. Her ability to say ‘no’ — to say no to a medical procedure she did not want — was taken from her.”
Her obituary said:
“During the last weeks of her life, the world turned dark with heavy-handed vaccine mandates. Local and state governments were determined to strip away her right to consult her wisdom and enjoy her freedom.
“Her passion to be actively involved in her children’s education — which included being a room mom in her child’s classroom — was, once again, blocked by government mandate.”
“It was best for our family that I got the vaccine,” Wilson said. But Jessica was “in a limited bubble as a stay-at-home mom, was of a young age and was concerned about the unproven nature of these vaccines.”
“She didn’t feel it was needed for her,” Wilson said. “But then as the mandates came out, Jessica and those mothers who are very very involved in their children’s lives — she wanted to be involved in every step of their lives. That was her main priority, her kids.”
In a memorial to his wife, Wilson wrote:
“Ultimately, this one-size-fits-all government policy cost Jessica her life, my children their mother, me my forever love and resulted in the loss of a very special person who touched many and was just making her dent felt on this world.”
Wilson told The Defender:
“My view on this whole story is — I want the world leaders to take notice because Jessica’s life is irreplaceable. There was a high value on her life and what she did for our family and for others. She touched a lot of people and there’s no replacing Jessica.
“I just hope that those people who are in control, who are setting these mandates at the top, are listening to her story and how we can protect the next Jessica from having to take this vaccine should they not think it’s necessary for them.”
Wilson said physicians at the hospital “100%” recognized she had a vaccine adverse event and told him they reported it to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Jessica’s VAERS report was entered into the agency’s system on Sept. 8. Her VAERS ID number is 1683324. Her family to date has not been contacted by any government officials.
Twitter censors Jessica’s obituary attributing her death to J&J’s vaccine
Twitter was slammed on Monday for fact-checking Jesscia’s obituary, which attributed her death to blood clots brought on by J&J’s vaccine, the New York Post reported.
The tribute, published by The Oregonian, said the mother of two died from “COVID-19 vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia.” It was marked as “misleading” by the social media giant over the weekend, according to Twitter users.
Twitter fact-checkers put a “misleading” label on Jessica’s obituary and prevented people from replying to, sharing or liking the tweet.
The fact-check warning was removed by Twitter on Monday morning following the backlash.
Wilson said he’s not on social media, but said he was disgusted when he learned from others that his wife’s obituary was being censored by big tech companies for being “misleading” or for containing “misinformation.”
Ivancie said he also received reports that Facebook was censoring Jessica’s obituary, and confirmed the family had not been contacted by fact-checkers from either tech company to verify Jessica’s story.
Ivancie said, “When you can’t have the truth come out, you’re thwarting people’s ability to make decisions. It is scary how these entities have the power to censor.”
Ivancie said it feels like a second death — a death of the truth at the hands of these massive powerful entities. “Imagine if we had a free and open exchange of truth, how this could change the narrative for others,” Ivancie said.
“We aren’t telling people not to get vaccinated,” Jessica’s husband said, “that’s not what we’re doing. We want people to understand Jessica’s story and her right to choose, and in her mind, she had no choice in the matter with all these mandates.”
“We’re just hoping people in these positions of power setting these mandates will listen to our story,” he said.
UPDATED: This piece was updated, adding Jessica’s VAERS ID number and a link to her VAERS report. The date Jessica received the J&J COVID vaccine was also updated to the confirmed date of Aug. 29.
I am interested in the question of HOW an artist or story-teller portrays the story.
Excerpt from the bottom paragraph below:
I regard as kitsch any representation of the Holocaust that is incapable of understanding or unwilling to understand the organic connection between our own deformed mode of life (current western society) and the very possibility of the Holocaust
Versus
He depicts the evil of the Holocaust, and he tells an incredible story of how it was robbed of some of its intended victims. He does so without the tricks of his trade, the directorial and dramatic contrivances that would inspire the usual melodramatic payoffs (box office payoffs). Spielberg is not visible in this film (Schindler’s List). But his restraint and passion are present in every shot.”[154] Filmmaker Claude Lanzmann, criticized the film for its weak representation of the Holocaust.
Also in 1993, Spielberg directed Schindler’s List, about Oskar Schindler, a businessman who helped save 1,100 Jews from the Holocaust.[142] Based on Schindler’s Ark, Spielberg waited ten years to make the film as he did not feel “mature” enough.[143] He wanted to embrace his heritage,[144][145] and after the birth of his son, Max, he said that “it greatly affected me […] A spirit began to ignite in me, and I became a Jewish dad”.[146] Filming commenced on March 1, 1993, in Poland, while Spielberg was still editing Jurassic Park in the evenings.[147] To make filming “bearable”, Spielberg brought his wife and children with him.[148] Against expectations, the film was a commercial success, and Spielberg used his percentage of profits to start the Shoah Foundation, a non-profit organization that archives testimonies of Holocaust survivors.[149] Schindler’s List won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Spielberg’s first as Best Director.[150] It also won seven BAFTAs, and three Golden Globes.[151][152] Schindler’s List is one of the AFI‘s 100 best American films ever made.[153]
Spielberg has collaborated on numerous projects with actor Tom Hanks since Saving Private Ryan
Ebert wrote, “Flaubert once wrote that he disliked Uncle Tom’s Cabin because the author was constantly preaching against slavery. ‘Does one have to make observations about slavery?’ he asked. ‘Depict it; that’s enough.’ And then he added, ‘An author in his book must be like God in the universe, present everywhere and visible nowhere.’ That would describe Spielberg, the author of this film. He depicts the evil of the Holocaust, and he tells an incredible story of how it was robbed of some of its intended victims. He does so without the tricks of his trade, the directorial and dramatic contrivances that would inspire the usual melodramatic payoffs. Spielberg is not visible in this film. But his restraint and passion are present in every shot.”[154] Filmmaker Claude Lanzmann, criticized the film for its weak representation of the Holocaust.[155] Imre Kertész, a Hungarian author and concentration camp survivor, also disliked the film, saying, “I regard as kitsch any representation of the Holocaust that is incapable of understanding or unwilling to understand the organic connection between our own deformed mode of life and the very possibility of the Holocaust.”[156] Thomson calls it “the most moving film I have ever seen.”[74]
In 1994, Spielberg took a break from directing to spend more time with his family, and set up his new film studio, DreamWorks, with Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen.
Maybe you want to send this to people in the UK? They aren’t getting the information they should be getting. (True of people in other countries, too.) Mind-boggling.
Media Failing to Cover ‘Powerful Testimony’ of People Injured by COVID Vaccines
A Superior Court judge denied a motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. against Daily Kos writer David Vickrey, accused of knowingly publishing lies about Kennedy and intending to harm his reputation.
A Superior Court judge late last week denied a motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. against Daily Kos writer David Vickrey.
The suit alleges Vickrey made false statements about Kennedy that damaged Kennedy’s reputation. Vickrey claimed that Kennedy helped cause the deadly Samoa measles outbreak and that he joined “neo-Nazis” and “various anti-Semitic conspiracy groups” when he spoke at a 2020 event in Berlin.
For years, Vickrey repeated the claims on social media, including Daily Kos and Twitter/X, despite being informed that the claims were false.
Kennedy, founder and former chairman of Children’s Health Defense (CHD), is suing for damages. Kennedy is on track to become the next secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
In December 2024, Robert Barnes and Terry Mitrenga, two of Kennedy’s attorneys, filed a memo urging the court to deny Vickrey’s motion to dismiss.
Barnes called the court’s ruling a “big win.” He told The Defender:
“The court found that repeating lies about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that have been proven false by prior lawsuits is clear evidence of actual malice toward Kennedy. This means anyone who repeats those lies can now also be sued.”
CHD CEO Mary Holland said, “While this long-running case is not over, the Maine Superior Court delivered a remarkable win for plaintiff Robert F. Kennedy Jr.”
Holland added:
“Apparently Vickrey believed he was immune from liability, as he defamed Kennedy for years. Although the standard for proving defamation against a public figure is very high, this decision strongly suggests that Kennedy has more than met it.”
In his decision, Maine Superior Court Justice Thomas R. McKeon noted that Vickrey’s motion to dismiss failed both as a standard motion to dismiss and as a motion to dismiss under Maine’s anti-SLAPP law.
“The anti-SLAPP statute is intended to prevent lawsuits that affect a defendant’s First Amendment rights,” said CHD General Counsel Kim Mack Rosenberg.
The court found that Vickrey’s activities in publishing his statements about Kennedy failed to fall within the limited scope of the anti-SLAPP law, according to Mack Rosenberg.
“Under Maine’s anti-SLAPP statute, defendants must show that their activity meets the definition of ‘petitioning,’ which is the activity that the statute protects.”
According to the ruling:
“The statute defines petitioning activity as: any written or oral statement made in connection with an issue under consideration or review by a legislative, executive, or judicial body, or any other government proceeding[,] any statement reasonably likely to encourage consideration or review of an issue by a legislative, executive, or judicial body, or any other government proceeding [, or] any statement reasonably likely to enlist public participation in an effort to effect such consideration [by a legislative, executive, or judicial body.]”
Vickrey’s statements didn’t meet that definition.
Mitrenga said, “The anti-SLAPP law is usually used when someone is challenging another person’s reason for putting into place, or promoting, a specific government action.”
Kennedy’s case could now go to trial, Mitrenga said. However, Vickrey could first appeal the court’s decision.
Court orders on motions to dismiss aren’t usually appealable, but the Supreme Court of Maine has made an exception when a motion to dismiss is based on an anti-SLAPP claim, Mitrenga said.
Vickrey’s lawyers didn’t immediately respond when asked by The Defender if they plan to appeal.
Lawsuit has dragged on for years
For over four years, Vickrey has attempted to shut down legal efforts to hold him accountable for libel.
Libel is a type of defamation that exposes a person to public hatred or injures their business or profession, according to the Legal Information Institute at Cornell Law School. Defamation is a statement that injures someone’s reputation.
On Aug. 29, 2020, Daily Kos ran an article, “Anti-Vaxxer RFK JR. joins neo-Nazis in massive Berlin ‘Anti-Corona’ Protest.” Vickrey, who wrote the article, published it under the pseudonym “DowneastDem.”
The article described an Aug. 22, 2020, speech Kennedy delivered to more than 1 million people at the Rally for Peace and Freedom in Berlin, organized by the German group Querdenken 711, or “Critical Thinking 711.”
The article “falsely tarnished Kennedy by associating him with Nazis, anti-Semites and right-wing extremists as organizers of the demonstration,” said Holland, who also spoke at the event in Berlin.
“None of these claims had any merit. The defamation affected CHD as Kennedy was acting as our spokesman,” she said.
As The Defender reported, the Querdenken movement is a broad-based, peaceful citizens’ movement for freedom, peace and human rights. It opposes Nazism and anti-semitism. Among the event’s speakers were doctors, lawyers, clergy of every persuasion, soldiers, police officers, parents, children, world-famous athletes, politicians from Germany’s Green Party, human rights activists and leaders of nonprofit organizations.
An attorney representing Kennedy wrote a letter to Daily Kos, asking the online news site to retract the article, explaining that it contained obvious falsehoods. Daily Kos refused.
On Dec. 1, 2020, CHD’s lawyers filed court papers in the Supreme Court of Westchester County, New York, ordering Daily Kos to show why “DowneastDem’s” identity and contact information should not be disclosed.
“Through rigorous sleuthing,” Holland said, “CHD was able to identify ‘DowneastDem’s’ true identity: David Vickrey.”
Since 2020, Vickrey has continued to publish defamatory statements on Daily Kos and Twitter/X.
In 2023, Kennedy sued Vickrey in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire, thinking that Vickrey had a professional connection to that state. However, upon discovery, it became evident that Vickrey’s work relationships in New Hampshire had ended a decade prior.
In January 2024, a New Hampshire federal judge tossed the suit since Vickrey did not write the article in New Hampshire.
Kennedy’s lawyers then filed the case in Maine, where Vickrey lives. CHD is providing financial support for the suit.
The amended complaint alleges Vickrey published statements between May and October 2023 on social media that implied or directly made false claims about Kennedy, including:
“Each of Vickrey’s factual statements about me are false,” Kennedy stated in his affidavit.
In his decision, McKeon said that Kennedy had adequately shown that Vickrey had published the defamatory statements “with actual malice.”
That was important because “if the plaintiff is a public figure, the publisher is only at fault if they published the defamatory statement with actual malice,” McKeon wrote.
The Defender is 100% reader-supported. No corporate sponsors. No paywalls. Our writers and editors rely on you to fund stories like this that mainstream media won’t write.
‘Censorship and spreading of untruths have gone hand in hand’
Mack Rosenberg said that Vickrey is free to have opinions that differ from Kennedy’s — but he shouldn’t be allowed to spread false information about Kennedy.
Freedom of speech is not the same as libel. “Libel is not afforded constitutional protection,” Mack Rosenberg explained. She said libel can be an “insidious form of censorship” because it spreads false information designed to deter people from considering a speaker’s viewpoint.
“Particularly in the past few years,” Mack Rosenberg said, “censorship and spreading of untruths have gone hand-in-hand to attempt to silence those who challenge a certain narrative, accusing them of spreading misinformation and disinformation, when in fact, many times it is those seeking to silence them who are spreading falsehoods.”

Oh Wow! In awe, Lloyd. This it totally brilliant, a huge victory for humans…and the press release is incredibly professional. I cannot express enough my admiration for the hard work you and the West Kelowna Branch have done on behalf of ALL of us across BC who were sprayed multiple times in the past years. I’m still seriously haunted by the sound of that bloody plane and maybe this is the start of ending all this other disgusting aerial graffiti that constantly scars our clear blue skies, blocks our sun, and pollutes our agriculture.
THANK YOU so much to you and your team.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Kelowna, BC – February 4, 2025
West Kelowna Branch of the KCSA Leads Charge in Halting 2025 Aerial BTK Spray Program
After continuous advocacy by the West Kelowna Branch of the Kelowna Citizens Safety Association (KCSA), the BC Government’s Ministry of Forests has cancelled the controversial 2025 aerial BTK spray program. This decision underscores the controversial nature of the program and questions why the Ministry of Forests is spraying communities without informed consent.
In 2024, while West Kelowna was spared, twelve other communities were not as fortunate and underwent aerial spraying with BTK, sparking significant health and environmental concerns. Communities like Cranbrook faced three rounds of spraying, raising alarms about safety, particularly given the large number of daycares, schools, and a hospital within the spray and drift zones.
Lloyd Manchester, President of the West Kelowna Branch of the KCSA, praised the decision, emphasizing the importance of community education and regulatory reform. “This cancellation allows us to work collaboratively with communities to educate them about the hazards of being aerially sprayed, to push WorkSafe BC to implement aerial pesticide regulations, make presentations to school boards, and work with farmers to investigate soil contamination and effects on seedlings,” Manchester stated. He also noted, “Aerial spraying of our communities is unacceptable and must be discontinued because it increases the potential to harm the elderly, immunocompromised, children, pets, and passersby.”
James Shannon from Call to Action Cranbrook expressed his relief and underscored the necessity for stringent scrutiny of international regulatory bodies, such as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency(CFIA), which collaborates with the Ministry of Forests to promote BTK aerial pesticide use in BC communities like Cranbrook. “Our community was severely traumatized by these aerial sprays, and we don’t want other communities to go through what we did and be exposed to the BTK bacteria. It’s imperative that we address the implications of these practices to protect our environment and public health,” Shannon stated.
Larry Wartel, spokesperson for the Communities United For Clean Air, highlighted the importance of pursuing sustainable pest management alternatives. “While we welcome this decision, our advocacy efforts will persist. We remain committed to ensuring informed consent and active community involvement in decision-making processes, especially those that impact public health. It is important to recognize the many reported adverse effects of BTK. People have experienced respiratory issues and other health problems. These concerns must be properly addressed,” Wartel stated.
With the cancellation of the 2025 program, all groups involved will continue to collaborate on creating the change that shifts our Province away from spraying communities. There is growing concern over the potential for the Province to switch to viral sprays, which could have significant implications. We will be inquiring into the Ministry of Forests and CFIA’s future plans to ensure that any changes are transparent and considerate of public health.

With thanks to Grant, the interview of Dr Wm Makis by Man in America:
makis79@yahoo.
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
Makis emphasizes that Ivermectin is an ANTI-PARASITIC. He explains it and its role in fighting covid.
Search my blog for the word “ivermectin”. The first entry was in 2021. 29 postings contain the word. (A few hold duplicate information, none of it contradictory.) In high school I worked in a rural drug store. Behind the counter, accessible by prescription, were the Pharma drugs. In a corner of the drug store, available off the shelf, were the drugs for the cows, horses, chickens – – for “animal husbandry”, the food we eat. Sometimes animal husbandry and the husbandry of human animals used the same drugs.
Search my memory: in the 1950’s my Mother de-wormed her flock of kids once a year. We lined up in the kitchen before breakfast, opened our mouths, swallowed the sometimes foul-tasking cure. Not bad enough, the “cure” had to be repeated after the first round of kill-off of the parasite, after the eggs had had time to hatch. It was ASSUMED that we would have parasites. They come with living on Earth.
– – – – – – – – –
IS THERE A DEDUCTION TO BE MADE?
There are parasites in the world we inhabit. There are fungi in the world we inhabit. (The Netflix documentary Fantastic Fungi (2019) created awareness of their role in the world. Since then, documentaries, products and learning aids have blossomed, also under mushroom names.
To link my Question back to Dr Makis and ANTI-PARASITICS, START WITH UNDERSTANDING WHAT A MYCOTOXIN IS (thanks to Wikipedia):
My awareness emerges from AGRICULTURE.
A mycotoxin (from the Greek μύκης mykes, “fungus” and τοξικός toxikos, “poisonous”)[1][2] is a toxic secondary metabolite produced by fungi[3][4] and is capable of causing disease and death in both humans and other animals.[5][6] The term ‘mycotoxin’ is usually reserved for the toxic chemical products produced by fungi that readily colonize crops.[7]
Examples of mycotoxins causing human and animal illness include aflatoxin, citrinin, fumonisins, ochratoxin A, patulin, trichothecenes, zearalenone, and ergot alkaloids such as ergotamine.[5]
One mold species may produce many different mycotoxins, and several species may produce the same mycotoxin.[8]
Production – –
Most fungi are aerobic (use oxygen) and are found almost everywhere in extremely small quantities due to the diminutive size of their spores. They consume organic matter wherever humidity and temperature are sufficient. Where conditions are right, fungi proliferate into colonies and mycotoxin levels become high. The reason for the production of mycotoxins is not yet known; they are not necessary for the growth or the development of the fungi.[9] Because mycotoxins weaken the receiving host, they may improve the environment for further fungal proliferation. The production of toxins depends on the surrounding intrinsic and extrinsic environments and these substances vary greatly in their toxicity, depending on the organism infected and its susceptibility, metabolism, and defense mechanisms.[10]
I had TB in 2005. It was stopped before it became contagious, with anti-fungal treatment: repeat – – I overcame TB with an ANTI-FUNGAL protocol in (2005). Ivermectin is an anti- parasite, used to overcome covid.
Dr Makis explains the efficacy of the anti-parasitic. I explain the efficacy of the anti-fungal in my case, in a bit different way – – because we are individuals, not all the same. Cause-and-effect is not linear.
My understanding comes from working on the question of WHY is there this HUGE push to introduce GMO wheat (genetically engineered wheat) to the market when NO ONE wants it? . . . Not farmers and not consumers. Who does that leave?
In the field trials for Genetically-modified crops (Monsanto’s herbicide-tolerant – – “roundup-ready “RR”” for example) gmo wheat came with an increased load of fungus, in comparison with red fife wheat, for example.
Saskatchewan people – – think of the fungus FUSARIUM that plagued early crops and was overcome through
For as long as seed selection was in the public interest, it was very difficult for mycostoxins to enter the food system, directly or indirectly. Canada enjoyed the benefits of a reputation for high-quality grain.
That changed when corporations like Monsanto undertook the dismantling of the protections for our food supply, which had taken 3 generations to construct.
I argue “yes”, and my personal experience is compelling:

Item (4) at the link is MUST FIND A DIFFERENT PATH
SO! the information leads me to think that we must find a different path. We will never find the path if we don’t search for it.
I saw the naturopathic doctor.
His analysis is that the reason I have TB is most likely because I have a fungal infestation in my body that is producing a large load of mycotoxins
(a form of toxaemia, I believe). The infestation is not visible of course. I am uncertain about the familiarity of allopathic doctors with the production and role of mycotoxins in health. My experience with TB suggests there is an information gap.
The evidence to date says that the naturopathic doctor is right. Four months after anti-fungal and supporting treatment and diet, I no longer suffer the symptoms of the TB. And my vitality has returned. (There is more to this story, told in later postings.)
IMPORTANT: I am very fortunate. In my case the TB is “encapsulated” and therefore not contagious at this point. I cannot infect other people. I hope to arrest and reverse the growth of the fungal colonies in my body. (three different fungi, one of which is not found in Canada. The ND thought there was a mistake, because it was unlikely I would have a fungus infestation from that part of the world. But the diagnosis was right – – I HAD BEEN in that part of the world.
At the outset, after the diagnosis of TB, I asked the ND: WHY didn’t my immune system take care of the TB? 30% of the population walks around with TB organisms that don’t become active. He said early on that he didn’t think the problem was the TB. He was right – – the problem was the mycotoxins.
My immune system was struggling, trying to rid itself of poisonous mycotoxins. With THE RIGHT actions (ANTI-FUNGAL) my body recovered and I returned to health.
I have to be careful about how I say this.
– – – – – — – — – – — – – — – — – — –
(5) CREATED MY OWN UN-DOING
When the TB was over-powered it felt so good to have my energy and vitality back, and there is so much that I want to do with my work, that I began to neglect the treatment. The diet says no sugars (yeast is a fungus). From making bread you know that without sugar the yeast
can’t grow. The diet works with the treatment: an anti-fungal kills the yeast, and you cut off the food supply for the fungus (think yeast) so there is nothing to feed what doesn’t get killed by the anti-fungal.
The diet says no alcohol because in similar fashion it feeds the yeast.
Well, when I go to conferences or weddings (not usual, I’ve been at 2 weddings and 3 conferences lately!), I go off the diet. I ate desserts loaded with sugar, drank some wine, and coffee (caffeine). And I don’t get the rest needed to enable my body to have extra resources for fighting the fungus (mycotoxins) and TB. The weather is such that I can no longer lay out in the healing sun. Coincidentally I ran out of the anti-fungal, etc, treatments and didn’t re-stock immediately. Although I felt energetic, there was obviously still fungus and TB organisms floating around inside because the symptoms of the TB are back again. Damn! It is nothing to mess around with – a million people world-wide die of TB each year and the number is rising if the disease incidence is rising. (If you would argue that my lack of discipline is proof that the drug treatment should be used, I counter with the argument that there are many people who contract TB and are prescribed drug therapy who never complete the 8 month drug protocol which is known to then contribute to the evolution of resistant TB strains because incomplete treatment leaves only the strongest organisms behind, or so the argument goes. There has to be experimentation with alternatives, and like it or not, I am in a position to serve as an experimental animal.)
I go back to the TB Control Centre, November 3rd, for x-rays to see where the TB is at. I expect it will show that I have a small amount yet to deal with, significantly down from where it was during my last visit. Then I will see the naturopathic doctor on November 7th. Working with both
allopathic and alternative practitioners will work if I maintain discipline. It is sooo easy to let down your guard, especially when confronted by a chocolate brownie, or the sociability of a glass of wine. Easy and also stupid (I admit!).
(6) A GREEN ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY EMERGES WHEN EXTERNALITIES AND MULTIPLIER EFFECTS ARE ADDRESSED
My Grandmother-in-law, from Brandon, MB had tuberculosis in the 1940’s. She spent 2 years at the sanatorium in the Qu’Appelle Valley in Saskatchewan and was cured of the disease without the use of drugs. She lived a healthy life into her 80’s. I doubt she was given any anti-fungal treatment. With anti-fungal treatment, I believe it will turn out that in my case, the disease could have been overcome in, say 6 months. (Please see the February 2012 posting on the “cure” of my case of TB.)
Drug treatment is a large drain on the economy of Saskatchewan. All the profits are siphoned out of the province by foreign transnational corporations. If you consider “the externalities”,
you would conclude that empowerment of our immune systems, employing local care givers, would help to address problems. Or you may have some other idea that would move us onto a sound path forward. We need the debate and the experimentation. It could lead to the establishment of model health care facilities that would attract TB patients from around the world, just as my Grandmother-in-law was attracted from Manitoba to Saskatchewan. Opportunity and job creation. You know the demand is rising. We COULD develop a world-class treatment centre, attractive because:
Very innovative!
I’d be impressed.
It is unfortunate when Medicare promotes allopathic medicine as a sole answer (it is almost unheard of not to take the drug protocol for TB). In spite of the cost of going to alternative therapies, many people find the money to use them. But then many are prevented because they can’t round up the funds. In my case, I view it that my “life” depends on it.
I could take the drug protocol, of course and right away “save” my life (I might be nauseated and sick for 8 or 9 months). But there will have been no long term evaluations to see whether down-the-road I will suffer from other maladies that become manifest only in the long term. If a fungal overgrowth is the root of the problem, and goes unaddressed because only the TB has been treated, it is pretty well guaranteed that I will have recurring health problems.
Also, there is responsibility on my part to force the issue, along with others who are doing the same. I am aware of the consequences for my children and theirs if we do not exercise our social ingenuity to remove the obstacles that prevent us from moving forward, from addressing the issues of pharmaceuticals in the water supply and our knowing contribution to the development of resistant organisms, a deadly game.

One problem with the symptoms listed in the book, or maybe MY problem, is that the symptoms experienced by different people are so many and varying that almost anything could be a symptom! And of course, those symptoms could also be the symptoms of many other illnesses. Other than that (which is likely MY problem) I found the book to be very informative.
I suspect that the symptoms are many because a fungal infestation in different parts of the body would create different symptoms. The mycotoxin load COMPROMISES the ability of the IMMUNE SYSTEM to do its job.

We have talked about it: THE INCREASE IN FUSARIUM (A FUNGUS) FOUND IN FOOD CROPS TREATED WITH ROUNDUP (GLYPHOSATE) – a concern because it is another vector through which myco-toxins can enter the food supply.

The seed is engineered such that the crop can be sprayed with the particular chemical and NOT DIE.

UPDATE #2 – A setback I haven’t yet posted. Will do that as soon as I can. The cull is to proceed. Pandemonium.
THE UPDATE (#1), thanks to Western Standard: The CFIA has been held in place by Canadians and by a Judge.
A family farm in British Columbia will not have to kill 400 of its ostriches — as least not yet — a court has ruled.
Justice Michael Battista sided with the farm, postponing a final decision on the cull until after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency conducts a full review of its initial order, which would have required the birds to be slaughtered by February 1.
The farm’s legal advocate, Kari Simpson, told the Western Standard she expects to be back in court within 40 days.
The CFIA ordered the birds killed after two of their deceased herd-mates tested positive for H5N1, better known as avian flu.
The saga began in December, when an avian flu outbreak was declared at Universal Ostrich farm. Part-owner Karen Espersen said she believed the disease was brought to their property by a flock of migrating ducks, who took shelter in the barn.
Initially, the farm saw as many as four ostriches dying per day, but eventually the deaths petered out. Katie Pasitney, whose mother Karen is also a part-owner, said this was evidence that the birds had acquired herd immunity.
Nonetheless, when the CFIA got wind of the outbreak in December, they sent a team out to investigate, and after testing two carcasses, determined that the entire herd had to be culled. This was incomprehensible to the owners and their families, who have developed strong relationships with each individual bird.

SUMMARY of THE OSTRICH FARM followed by the article that provided the details.
SOUNDS GOOD, RIGHT? . . . UNTIL
Sandra speaking: my introduction to THE OSTRICHES was this article that came through Clear BC:
If you’re unaware of it, Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, BC, suffered
an outbreak of avian flu which was declared on Dec. 31, 2024.
What happened next is unprecedented: not a single adult ostrich died. A
number of the younger birds died, and symptoms persisted in the adults
for about two weeks, but there have been no further indications of
disease for the last 10 or so days (as of writing this on Jan. 26th).
This resistance to avian flu is a world first, and yet the Canadian Food
Inspection Agency (CFIA) has ordered the flock be culled by Feb. 1st.
Even more incredible is that the farm was already involved in COVID
research studying the science of natural immunity, which is our best long-
term option for combating any virus and comes with no potential for
adverse reactions as vaccines do, especially novel vaccines. Bird eggs are
an ideal environment for producing monocolonial antibodies (cloned
antibodies meant to stimulate the immune system). Ostriches are
especially ideal for this due to their robustness compared to chickens and
other poultry livestock, and because their larger eggs produce more
material to work with.
This means Canada is now home to a virology research farm which
happens to possess the first known flock of naturally H5N1-immune
poultry in the world.
The situation could not be more perfect for studying why these adult ostriches survived infection with a 0% mortality rate.
While focused on natural immunity, the research may too, yield insight
into H5N1 treatments that could protect poultry and other livestock, as
well as wildlife by reducing transmission from livestock into wild
populations. It also contributes to the advancement of treatments for
humans should a dangerous variant emerge that more easily transmits
from animals to people or from person to person which is a distinct
concern among scientists.
After declaring the outbreak, CFIA proceeded to issue a cull order for the
birds which is a tragic but fairly standard response. Once realizing their
birds had survived so successfully, Universal Ostrich informed their
research partners of the development, who in turn informed the CFIA,
and the CFIA agreed to rescind the order.
So, What’s The Big Deal
The point of this document is to inform you the reader that someone at
the CFIA, despite being aware of all this, has decided to proceed with the
cull order anyway. Not only has this official decided to destroy the only
possibility to date for studying a naturally immune animal population, but
she’s forbidden the farm from having their animals tested any further
under threat of hefty fines and even imprisonment. There is no
scientifically-supported reason to forbid testing.
Even more alarming, she’s declared intentions to have the CFIA seize any
research material not only from the farm but from the farmer’s residence,
which is a separate property. The CFIA has no mandate for dealing with
medical or veterinary research. Their jurisdiction is strictly biosecurity
management, certainly not the seizure of information and research
materials, and the farmer’s residence is not the site of any biosecurity
hazard the CFIA would have jurisdiction over. This is something like
having paramedics show up at your house to execute an arrest warrant
for your neighbour, who they already know lives next door.
Moderna is currently poised to develop an H5N1 mRNA vaccine,
receiving nearly $600 million in development funding from the U.S.
government and holding a long-term agreement with the Canadian
government to produce mRNA vaccines in country at a new facility in
Quebec. This suggests the most plausible explanation is unfortunately
that someone in the government is pressing for this action. It’s unlikely
any typical agent or officer at the CFIA would engage in such an
overreach of authority, in light of a pressing global public interest to
preserve these birds, without influence from a political higher-up.
There is a huge amount of private profit to be lost should non-proprietary
treatments become available or a feasible pathway to natural immunity
be discovered. The natural antibodies produced by these birds will be
superior to synthetic antibodies created in a lab, rendering Moderna’s
planned mRNA vaccine obsolete and inferior. Remember that Moderna
made $12 billion from COVID vaccines in 2021 alone. So while there is
no scientific reason for the CFIA to order Universal Ostrich to stop testing,
there is a clear financial motive to suppress information that would show
a cull to be unnecessary. Information that may in fact show a clear reason
to protect these animals from any manner of interference.
What To Do
At the moment, there’s no direct mechanism to prevent this
overreach before the scheduled cull on February 1st, so it’s up to
us to use public pressure and scrutiny instead.
Contact your MPs, the official at CFIA responsible for this
decision, as well as the CFIA senior management (details below).
You might remind them it’s a crime against humanity to deny
access to food, especially on such a massive scale, which they’ll
be doing by interfering with the development of treatments and
disease management strategies for livestock in the face of the
H5N1 pandemic that’s already resulted in the loss of many
millions of animals. You might also remind them it’s a crime
against humanity to deny access to medicine, which they’ll be
doing by destroying research and materials used in studying
potential treatments for, and strategies to overcome, both
COVID, and now H5N1 which has begun to show up in humans.
There is no reasonable grounds for taking such action—
especially in light of the irreplaceable nature of this ostrich flock
which is worth far, far more alive.
Despite the seriousness of the situation, please remain respectful
as most government employees are doing what they believe is
best with the information they have, and may not be aware of the
full scope of the situation unfolding. Borrow what you like from
this document, but it’s best to write in your own words.
Then, inform people you know of the situation and encourage
them to get involved.
Remember, at the Nuremberg trials “I was just following orders”
was not accepted as justification for crimes of this scale and
severity. Let public officials know people are watching, and
please, be prepared to hold them accountable should they
knowingly allow such gross public harm to occur. They will be
unable to say they didn’t know after the public thoroughly
informs them.
It’s easy to write a letter when worked up about a cause, but it’s
far more important to stay involved. Study what’s happening, dig
for answers, and help make sure this kind of thing doesn’t occur
at all.
