DDP Newsletter Vol. XXXVIII, No. 2

On Feb 24, Russia invaded Ukraine, a major escalation of a prolonged conflict. Immediately, this new crisis displaced the nonstop COVID coverage in the media. Conveniently for global elites, these crises have distracted attention from ongoing financial and societal collapse, and are probably accelerating progress toward the World Economic Forum’s intended Great Reset.

The meme for these times is the NPC or non-player character in video games. The narrator pops open the identical robotic heads and installs the Narrative-of-the-day chip.

The official Narrative for COVID is that the worst pandemic in world history threatens everyone and may surge any time if we let up on control measures such as face masks and distancing. The only hope is from “safe and effective” warp-speed vaccines in every arm, boosted as the CDC recommends. Dissenters are anti-science and pro-disease and death.

For Ukraine, the Narrative is that evil Putin has launched an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine as the first step in achieving his ambition to re-establish the Soviet empire. Ukraine is a peaceful, independent democracy. Dissenters are traitors and “Russian assets.” Since Ukraine is not (yet) a member of NATO, we do not yet have a full-scale war involving U.S. and other NATO troops. However, weapons and ammunition are pouring in, even from once-neutral Switzerland, so that NATO can fight, as some say, to the last heroic Ukrainian soldier. The Woke West has also launched economic warfare against Russia.

In the old, pre-Woke America, there was no need for Narratives to obscure painful reality. Citizens had inalienable rights and an opportunity to achieve personal and economic prosperity—the American dream. Reality could be harsh, but Americans were generally optimistic freemen who were laboring hard, in an as-fair-as-possible world of their own. Then the world started to change. Few noticed as their rights were incrementally eroded. Independent Americans might interfere with the agendas of various elites, so a culture of carefully curated lies coalescing into the Narratives was developed.

Elites use Narratives to gain and keep power. Left-wing Narratives appealing to the Woke “Brahmin” professional managerial class include Climate Change, Critical Race Theory, and LGBTQ “rights.” Right-wing Narratives appealing to part of the upper middle class that is highly dependent on government include naïve Free Trade ideas inapplicable in today’s world and War on Terror. The Ukraine issue overlaps both sides. Ukrainians are “Woke” (thus, to the left, good); Russians are not (thus, evil). Both are authoritarians. Neither is a friend of American conservatives, but Ukrainians are good allies of Wokeism.

THE TRUCE OF THE BEAR

Those who advocate for playing at war should reread Rudyard Kipling’s 1898 poem “The Truce of the Bear” (https://tinyurl.com/27ezvrt7), written at a time of prolonged tension over Russian activities in Manchuria, and after his experience as a journalist during the Afghan Border Crisis of 1884-5. This had left Kipling with a lasting mistrust of Russia and its territorial ambition. In 1890, in the short story “The Man Who Was,” Kipling had described Russia as belonging to Asia and “not going to be civilized after the methods of the West” (https://tinyurl.com/m3a4z2ah).

“Truce of the Bear” can be read as a universal allegorical warning about dealing with a savage beast like Adam-zad, the deceptive bear that is able to fake a woeful, docile behavior to induce pity in the white hunter—only to kill him, or rip off his face. According to historians, this poem was specifically written as an allegory about Czarist Russia’s convincing British modernists that it was a friend of the British Empire, while it was not.

What would Kipling think today? He was a staunch defender of Victorian common-sense philosophy and was concerned about modernism, which was starting to replace Victorianism. Modernism is a grandfather of Wokeism. Putin deplores Western decadent Wokeism, in particular the LGBTQ agenda, while Ukraine is a haven for Wokeism as well as for money-laundering globalists. Actor president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has actually performed in drag. Ukraine has long been part of Russia, and was its birthplace.

It appears that Adam-zad the Greater is at war with Adam-zad the Lesser. Why would NATO want to side with one of two savage beasts that are trying to destroy each other? Yet both the Democrat regime and “conservative” commentators such as Sean Hannity and R. Emmett Tyrrell are glorifying Ukraine.

What is the desired outcome? “Regime change”—with a weakened Russia, compliant with the New World Order? Ukraine as effectively a satrapy of a Woke EU and U.S., with or without formal membership in NATO? Western control of Ukraine’s resources?

What are possible outcomes? Nuclear war, triggered by accident or desperate action by a cornered bear? The collapse of the world financial system as Russia retaliates against sanctions? The emergence of a strong Sino-Russian alliance? U.S. poverty and even starvation due to loss of Russian and Ukrainian grain and fertilizer? Massively increased energy prices, with consequent increases in all prices? The demise of the petrodollar and thus the dollar as the world reserve currency?

Before assigning guilt for war crimes, or even determining what is happening, one needs an objective assessment, not war propaganda. Concerning the alleged Bucha atrocities, Putin asked the UN Security Council to investigate—but the UK government refused to convene it. A standard forensic examination would show the time and manner of deaths—and whether bodies had been moved. Commentary by former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter countered the Narrative, but @realScottRitter was suspended from Twitter, reinstated, then re-suspended. The Russian response to the accusations is in the Monthly Review, “an independent socialist magazine” (https://tinyurl.com/mpmypx2p). Truth or propaganda? The same publication also provides background on the “road to war” (https://tinyurl.com/ycyd78ur), as does Gravitas Plus (https://tinyurl.com/ye26jc3x).

If America is to be restored, Americans must deal with reality. Those who cherish freedom must resist the Narratives with all their strength. Assuming that Russians are totally evil and inferior, while the West is good and superior, while making no effort to know ourselves or the enemy, will lead to disaster. Russians may have worn-out equipment bogged down in mud, but they are relentless and can “fight like gods,” as described in the video “The American’s Verse about the Russians” (https://tinyurl.com/4mnrz7uk).

It is possible that Russia, through war or response to U.S. sanctions, will implement Kipling’s conclusion to the triumph of Modernism:

“And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins

“When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,

“As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,             “The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return

A COVID-19 medical kit also needs to be a general medical kit, because after two years, we not only still have COVID, but worsening shortages of essential items owing to supply-chain breakdown—and of available medical personnel.

Our May 2020, September 2020, and May 2021 issues are still pertinent, and our updated medical kit (https://ddponline.org/medkit/) very much needed. The government and medical establishment’s hostility to early off-label treatments and physicians who prescribe them has only intensified. Gene-therapy vaccines are the only accepted and often mandated option aside from monoclonal antibodies (now being rationed) or the new, still mostly unavailable Pfizer and Merck “wonder drugs” Paxlovid and molnupiravir.

Diagnostic supplies every household should have include a blood pressure monitor, preferably the kind that goes on the upper arm. Check its accuracy at the doctor’s office. Get a clinical thermometer and be sure that it works before you get sick. Some digital thermometers don’t, and the old mercury thermometer, which lasted forever and needed no batteries, may be unobtainable. Have at least two pulse oximeters so you can compare questionable readings, and check your baseline oxygen saturation.

It is good to have a nebulizer, preferably one that plugs into the wall unless you need a portable one for travel. One internet source is https://justnebulizers.com/. Many pharmacies have them, but some require a prescription. It is better to have an unused one in the closet, along with mouthpieces and tubing for multiple users, than not be able to get one if you need it.

A very large number of drugs and nutraceuticals have been recommended. Most have not been evaluated in large randomized controlled studies, particularly not in combinations. In sick patients, one may want to use a combination of drugs with different mechanisms of action, guided by how the patient is doing instead of by a meta-analysis. Note that much “expert” guidance comes from “in silica” (computer) models, not from in vitro (laboratory) or in vivo experiments or from real-world patients.

As Dr. Richard Urso pointed out at a recent meeting (tinyurl.com/mvt92963), “We are always going to be faced with new and untreatable disorders, and often the answers are already in our toolbox.” Although an ophthalmologist, he previously worked in tissue-culture laboratories, has successfully used repurposed drugs to prevent scarring in eye procedures, and has treated more than 1,000 COVID patients.

Dr. Urso’s “new favorite drug” is cyproheptadine (Periactin), an H1 histamine antagonist commonly used to treat allergy symptoms. It also has anti-platelet actions and blocks serotonin more quickly than fluvoxamine. This may be important for cells in the lung that may be responsible for the hypersensitivity pneumonia. Another favorite is fenofibrate, most commonly used to lower cholesterol and triglycerides. It also has antiviral, antithrombotic, and antitumor effects. Other repurposed drugs that Dr. Urso discussed at the 2021 annual meeting of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (https://tinyurl.com/2p9btabd) include montelukast (Singulair), dutasteride (Avodart), colchicine, and melatonin. (https://tinyurl.com/23kyzn32, seeaaps-21-urso.pdf).

AAPS has posted many videos pertaining to COVID (rumble.com/c/AAPS).

RECIPES

Dr. Peter McCullough’s COVID preparedness kit contains zinc tablets (50 mg), vitamin D3 (5,000 iu), vitamin C (3,000 mg), quercetin (500 mg), and a home-made gargle/ mouth rinse/ nasal spray. To prepare this, add 2 tsp of 10% povidone iodine (Betadine), or hydrogen peroxide if allergic to iodine, plus a pinch of salt, to 6 oz water, preferably distilled. Nasal atomizer spray bottles are available on amazon. Or you can use a Q-tip to apply some to the nasal mucosa. Use twice daily for pre-exposure prophylaxis or every 4 hours for post-exposure prophylaxis or treatment. In one study, this regimen reduced hospitalization and death rates by more than 80%. Dr. McCullough suggests following with Listerine or Scope mouthwash (https://tinyurl.com/274da77k). Others have suggested adding the 10% Betadine to the mouthwash, 3 Tbsp per 1 liter bottle.

Nebulized hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is used or recommended by a number of physicians, in varying concentrations from 0.04% to 3% (it should not irritate your nose), and is condemned by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (https://tinyurl.com/yz965brc). Start with 3% food-grade peroxide, and dilute with normal saline, which you can prepare by adding 1 tsp unprocessed salt (e.g., Himalayan salt) to 1 pint distilled water. Half and half peroxide and saline would give a concentration of 1.5%. When the nebulizer is filled with the diluted peroxide solution, you might add 2 drops of Lugol’s solution. Some do about four treatments a day when feeling sick with a respiratory virus, and one treatment after being in a high-risk environment (tinyurl.com/84p7un6j).

Drxmd.com suggests considering nebulized vitamin C and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) as a less harsh alternative to peroxide, and offers commentary on nutritional measures and off-label drugs. The FDA has made it much more difficult to obtain NAC. It may still be available online, though not from amazon.com, and grocery stores such as Natural Grocers in Tucson may carry it. It is a precursor to glutathione, which is depleted by Tylenol—keep this in mind when treating COVID symptoms.

A small series showed safety and possible benefit (https://tinyurl.com/2p9dvk2y). Thomas Levy, M.D., describes anecdotal success in Colombia (tinyurl.com/5n7yfn29).

The idea of inhaling warm moist air as a way to denature respiratory viruses, presented by Dan Lee Dimke, was considered so dangerous that it was disappeared from popular internet sites, but still can be found (tinyurl.com/wrydz8r). In a rare comment from an independent physician that appeared in the July 2021 e-newsletter of the Pima County (Arizona) Medical Society, Tucson oncologist Suresh Katakkar writes: “Since the COVID-19 pandemic started I have been using the fabric steamer [to steam my face, nose, and throat] for two minutes after coming home from an outside trip, such as shopping, etc. I have asked my neighbors who are also elderly like me to do the same. We all have had no infection despite the outdoor essential trips in the crowded areas.” He also uses an ultraviolet wand to disinfect his clothing (https://tinyurl.com/yfrhrcs5).

OZONE            

Ozone has many therapeutic applications, including in viral diseases, seldom considered by mainstream physicians (https://tinyurl.com/yc88bnzy), but as a disinfecting agent it is well established in the wine, food-processing, and other industries. It deserves consideration for rapid, safe disinfection of airplanes, trains, buses, hospital rooms, and many other areas (https://tinyurl.com/4jhkstj7).

Biological warfare is one of the “really big threats,” as Lowell Wood pointed out at our 2002 annual meeting, “intelligently designed to destroy Western civil societies” (http://www.ddponline.org/wood02.pdf). The robust preparedness that he recommended was never implemented—despite the anthrax scare of September 2001. The expected scenario was of a rapidly fatal disease like smallpox causing mass casualties.

Another way to destroy society and drastically reduce world population could use slower-acting methods that often cripple instead of killing. What if people from the areas remotest from aerosols or mass human contact could be induced to willingly accept an injected pathogen? What if certain genotypes were more or less vulnerable?

---

Americans may be most frightened of foreign terrorists or Woke mobs or rogue nations utilizing the “poor man’s atomic bomb.” But suppose the real enemy might be globalist elites, who fund and use (then discard) disaffected extremists?

DDP has no inside information but can simply make some observations. First, the world has clearly been terrorized. People have willingly relinquished their normal activities and civil liberties and accepted “expert” pronouncements without question. 

Second, development of the “warp speed vaccine” began long before 2020. A universal vaccine platform was envisioned for influenza or emerging diseases, using messenger RNA that could be rushed into production as soon as a pathogen was identified and the genetic sequence for a target antigen determined. When a pandemic was declared for SARS-CoV-2, a wealth of pertinent research results was available. It was a stupendous opportunity to cash in on patents and launch a vast human trial of the concept. Billions in profits could be made without the danger of product liability.

A widely circulated document lists some 4,000 possibly relevant patent applications filed between 1999 and 2019, compiled by David Martin, Ph.D., founder and CEO of M-CAM International Risk Management (“The Fauci/COVID-19 Dossier,” tinyurl.com/8dtszsmt). An interview of Dr. Martin by attorney Reiner Füllmich is also widely discussed tinyurl.com/2fwxse3v); a partial transcript is available (tinyurl.com/ym5m6y79).

At time point 9:50 of this video Martin states: “ In other words, we made SARS and we patented it on April 19th 2002 before there was ever an alleged outbreak in Asia, which followed that by several months. This US patent 7279327 clearly lays out in very specific gene sequencing that we knew of the ACE receptor, the ACE-2 binding domain, the S1 spike protein and other elements of Covid-19.”

The actual patent application (patents.google.com/patent/US7279327B2/en), however, states that this “invention is a method of making infectious, replication defective, nidovirus particles” and contains no wording that can be construed to mean what Martin claims. The purpose was to develop a veterinary vaccine against porcine transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE), a plague that kills pigs en masse. Members of the order Nidovirales include the family Coronaviridae, which has many members.

Other assertions made in a summary of the interview are not true, highly inaccurate, or liberally misinterpreted. Is Martin simply out of his depth in trying to interpret highly technical material? Neither he nor Füllmich is a scientist. Füllmich made his reputation in lawsuits against Volkswagen and Deutsche Bank.

A leading suspect named in the dossier is Dr. Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina. According to his associates, Baric is a friendly, modestly compensated, hard-working scientist who “writes boring virology papers”—414 are indexed in PubMed. Unlike the NIH, his office is located in an unsecured area of a public university and is open to visitors. A disguise for an evil character who is plotting to destroy humanity? This seems as unlikely as openly filing a publicly available patent application for a bioterror weapon.

The dossier might call attention to the fact that scientists are now capable of making custom viruses for variety of uses, including military or political purposes. The awesome capability of genetic engineering with potential for healing or catastrophic misuse is discussed in the 2017 book A Crack in Creation: Gene Editing and the Unthinkable Power to Control Evolution, by Jennifer A. Doudna and Samuel H. Sternberg. Doudna, together with Emmanuelle Charpenteire, received the 2020 Nobel Prize in chemistry “for the development of a method for genome editing,” based on CRISPR, which is a bacterial immune system. There are now far more capable methods.

It is quite possible that SARS-CoV-2 is a bioengineered virus that may have been released from a laboratory deliberately or accidentally, as email exchanges involving National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) head Anthony Fauci suggest (https://tinyurl.com/7r2fbbeb). It appears to be a poor candidate as a bioweapon; the mortality rate is not high enough, and most victims are old and sick. The mortality rate from lockdowns will probably be much greater. Many people, especially those in remote areas, will escape exposure, and those who develop natural immunity will serve as a firebreak.

For causing terror, however, SARS-CoV-2 has excelled, aided by daily reports on numbers of “cases,” amplified by false positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, and deaths, an unknown percentage “with,” rather than from COVID. People at first were clamoring for vaccination, and public authorities are now becoming increasingly aggressive about trying to get a “shot in every arm”—even if the patient is very low risk, already immune, or very unlikely to be exposed. What if the vaccination campaign is not really about the virus—but the virus is about getting people injected?

Adverse reactions from COVID jabs are accumulating on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) at a rate vastly exceeding that for all vaccines combined since 1990 (https://tinyurl.com/zjtzd4yx). These include death, disability, heart attacks, inflammation of the heart muscle leading to heart failure, miscarriages, and bleeding and clotting problems (openvaers.com/covid-data). The British Yellow Card system, far more user friendly, breaks down the results by product (https://tinyurl.com/344skhcx). Long-term effects such as infertility, autoimmune disease, or antibody-dependent enhancement, with severe or fatal disease on later virus exposure, cannot be known yet.

If another pharmaceutical product caused a fraction of this death and disability, it would be withdrawn from the market, as the 1976 swine flu vaccine was, based on an excess incidence of about 1 in 100,000 cases of Guillain-Barré, and failure of the dreaded epidemic to appear. Some argue that this was an overreaction, justifiable “when lives are at stake” (https://tinyurl.com/r2rza8mf). But with COVID-19, reports of adverse reactions are censored as “harmful misinformation.” People die or become paralyzed every day, and a causal relationship to the recent jab cannot be “scientifically” proved.            

The dangers of the spike protein may have been unforeseen, and the deaths collateral damage from the vaccination frenzy, which may be related to decades of research on genetic engineering (https://tinyurl.com/ypk3f7av). Motives and agenda aside, the results might look like a bioterrorist attack by pathogen, vaccine, or both.

Today’s great threat to capitalist prosperity, personal liberty, and constitutional government is not Marxism, socialism or any other variant of traditional left-wing ideology, states David Stockman, in a five-part series in David Stockman’s Contra Corner, written in February 2021. Stockman was Director of the Office of Management and Budget (1981-1985) under President Ronald Reagan.

The threat is scientism, which he defines as “the false claims that economic science, public health science and climate science, among others, require sweeping increases in state intervention and control.” Real-time instances include John Kerry’s recent proclamation that we have just 9 years until irreversible climate disaster and the on-going depredations of the Virus Patrol (https://tinyurl.com/3ak2vyba).

After 2 years of government suppression of early treatment for COVID-19, and with world spending on COVID vaccines expected to reach $157 billion through 2025 (https://tinyurl.com/2ekbkw7w), the Biden Administration plans to invest $3 billion in an antiviral development strategy (https://tinyurl.com/dc2wrd2). Perhaps some of these agents (https://tinyurl.com/tajruwwj) will work out, but what can we do in the meantime?

There is a large body of evidence supporting hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and other agents, summarized at c19study.com. In many countries it maybe difficult to obtain HCQ or IVM owing to governmental restrictions, or in the U.S. mostly because of physicians’ reluctance to prescribe. For treatment protocols proposed by various physicians, see c19protocols.com, which also lists resources including telehealth.
