The site explained that while it believed the truckers were engaged in \u201cpeaceful protests,\u201d LAW ENFORCEMENT has convinced it that it has become \u201can occupation.\u201d Anyone want to look back and see if GoFundMe ever cancelled the fundraisers for the CHOP\/CHAZ groups as they were running out of food in there?<\/p>\r\n<p>Anyway, GSG set a February 19 deadline for funders to request chargebacks, and then it is going to donate all the money to a radical leftwing communist grassroots outfit, or something. I\u2019m just guessing, but I feel pretty safe about that.<\/p>\r\n<p>The truckers have a new fundraiser going on GiveSendGo, which they should have used from the start. Here\u2019s the link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.givesendgo.com\/Warroomcanadanet.\">https:\/\/www.givesendgo.com\/Warroomcanadanet.<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>\ud83d\udc89 Haha suckers! The great redefinition is starting. Yesterday the Daily Mail UK reported \u201cFrance bans tourists with no Covid booster: Anyone who was double-jabbed more than nine months ago will be refused entry without \u2018compelling reason\u2019.\u201d And here you thought if you just did your part, got the jabs, slept it off, you\u2019d be \u2018fully vaccinated\u2019 and good to go for traveling and all that stuff. Chump! Now you\u2019d better get on the Pfizer subscription plan and have those boosters delivered to you on schedule. Hope you like spike protein.<\/p>\r\n<p>\ud83d\udc8a A new peer-reviewed Israeli study give more support to the conclusion that Vitamin D deficiency is linked to more severe, more deadly Covid outcomes. The twist on this new study is that it compared PRE-infection Vitamin D levels to outcomes. Most of the previous studies measured patients\u2019 D levels AFTER they\u2019d been infected. Somehow the researchers found people who\u2019d had their D levels measured before they caught the virus.<\/p>\r\n<p>The researchers found people who are vitamin D deficient are 14 times more likely to have severe Covid-19 and to die from the disease. Most significantly, mortality among patients with sufficient vitamin D levels was 2.3 percent, compared to 25.6 percent in those who were in the vitamin D deficient group. I\u2019m not a doctor or anything, but I think it\u2019s fair to strongly suggest Vitamin D supplementation to anyone who hasn\u2019t caught the virus yet.<\/p>\r\n<p>The study considered less than 20 ng\/mL to be \u201cdeficient,\u201d and more than 40 ng\/mL to be normal, and was published in PLOS One titled \u201cPre-infection 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels and association with severity of COVID-19 illness.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>\ud83d\udd25 After Pfizer jumped into the lawsuit last week to try to block the release of documents related to its clinical trials, the court has now issued a final order giving the FDA a little more time but increased downstream requirements for production. The Court ordered the FDA to produce 10,000 pages per month for the first two months, then 80,000 pages per month for the next three months, then 70,000 for a month, then 55,000 per month after that. It\u2019s a weird schedule but it probably arose from a lot of in-court wrangling.<\/p>\r\n<p>Oh! Also, the FDA can only count duplicates as half pages.<\/p>\r\n<p>\ud83d\udd25 Could the Canadian Trucker Rally be working? The premier of Alberta \u2014 one of the Canadian provinces \u2014 made statements yesterday suggesting that he is considering rolling back mandates. \u201cOnce we begin to see a sustained reduction in COVID pressure on the hospitals, I am looking forward to being able to make decisions on relaxation on public health measures,\u201d said Premier Kenney.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cI believe that will happen this month, in February\u2026 including the elimination of the restriction exemption or the proof of vaccination program. I just ask people to be a little more patient,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/email.mg2.substack.com\/c\/eJxtUtvSnCAMfhq900EQDxdedNr-r-FEjLt0ER2Ia337hrW96wwTEnL4-JIYIHxs4Rr2LVKexEjXjoPHMzokwpAfEcNo56FuhayarstZnatOd7mN4xIQV7BuoHBgvh-TswbIbv6T0aha9PlzkDVCx7lKNQo6CULDIpZpxll0qu3bGxiO2aI3OOAbw7V5zN3wJNpjpr5l8osPnTZ9qTTbypaJ-0YnIrEeCeiIrFR119dVX4mq7XqpGVBm6ivgMsZgMvWDznRLrX_ScvLdfqfTwLrfT6karhPOfz0Mtn48_yt7hzzCJ-Bfqc1_zFiNmWwS7BEcw948OJGZ6MSFBT0x8V6tc-i9BXfzYs8UEF7WPwpwEwaCgrbC2YWKgJGCNanBsWDOgVIUd-VZvMEY67HYIXJfAuV2kELyEbpSWmldytJUohUgJ9m3yvR1V75OfU0n_s5qsT5kGY-Ji5pX-kgehl_PKcAL2cm2gUilR0pDHtleD2_pGtHD5HC-50_3Gn02Ynygx8DrNY9AQ9XUtWh62dSy1_e404J06aFpcgaeN87yg9mWBRH8bLa3nf8ATBbdPg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cdn.substack.com\/image\/twitter_name\/w_36\/cspotweet.jpg\" alt=\"Twitter avatar for @cspotweet\" \/>Courtney Theriault @cspotweet<\/a><\/p>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/email.mg2.substack.com\/c\/eJxtUtvSnCAMfhq900EQDxdedNr-r-FEjLt0ER2Ia337hrW96wwTEnL4-JIYIHxs4Rr2LVKexEjXjoPHMzokwpAfEcNo56FuhayarstZnatOd7mN4xIQV7BuoHBgvh-TswbIbv6T0aha9PlzkDVCx7lKNQo6CULDIpZpxll0qu3bGxiO2aI3OOAbw7V5zN3wJNpjpr5l8osPnTZ9qTTbypaJ-0YnIrEeCeiIrFR119dVX4mq7XqpGVBm6ivgMsZgMvWDznRLrX_ScvLdfqfTwLrfT6karhPOfz0Mtn48_yt7hzzCJ-Bfqc1_zFiNmWwS7BEcw948OJGZ6MSFBT0x8V6tc-i9BXfzYs8UEF7WPwpwEwaCgrbC2YWKgJGCNanBsWDOgVIUd-VZvMEY67HYIXJfAuV2kELyEbpSWmldytJUohUgJ9m3yvR1V75OfU0n_s5qsT5kGY-Ji5pX-kgehl_PKcAL2cm2gUilR0pDHtleD2_pGtHD5HC-50_3Gn02Ynygx8DrNY9AQ9XUtWh62dSy1_e404J06aFpcgaeN87yg9mWBRH8bLa3nf8ATBbdPg\">BREAKING: Premier Kenney says COVID cabinet will approve a plan early next week for the careful lifting of health measures, beginning with vaccine passport program. #yeg #Yyc #ableg #Covid19ab<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/email.mg2.substack.com\/c\/eJxtUtvSnCAMfhq900EQDxdedNr-r-FEjLt0ER2Ia337hrW96wwTEnL4-JIYIHxs4Rr2LVKexEjXjoPHMzokwpAfEcNo56FuhayarstZnatOd7mN4xIQV7BuoHBgvh-TswbIbv6T0aha9PlzkDVCx7lKNQo6CULDIpZpxll0qu3bGxiO2aI3OOAbw7V5zN3wJNpjpr5l8osPnTZ9qTTbypaJ-0YnIrEeCeiIrFR119dVX4mq7XqpGVBm6ivgMsZgMvWDznRLrX_ScvLdfqfTwLrfT6karhPOfz0Mtn48_yt7hzzCJ-Bfqc1_zFiNmWwS7BEcw948OJGZ6MSFBT0x8V6tc-i9BXfzYs8UEF7WPwpwEwaCgrbC2YWKgJGCNanBsWDOgVIUd-VZvMEY67HYIXJfAuV2kELyEbpSWmldytJUohUgJ9m3yvR1V75OfU0n_s5qsT5kGY-Ji5pX-kgehl_PKcAL2cm2gUilR0pDHtleD2_pGtHD5HC-50_3Gn02Ynygx8DrNY9AQ9XUtWh62dSy1_e404J06aFpcgaeN87yg9mWBRH8bLa3nf8ATBbdPg\">\r\n<p>February 4th 2022<\/p>\r\n<p>946 Retweets4,192 Likes<\/p>\r\n<\/a>\r\n<p>Progress!<\/p>\r\n<p>\ud83d\udd25 Bloomberg ran an article last week headlined, \u201cHong Kong\u2019s Covid-Zero Strategy Is on the Brink of Collapse\u201d and things sound pretty grim.

But they\u2019ll dial in some centrally-planned metrics for \u201callowable\u201d numbers of infections that are still considered \u201czero,\u201d which will then cause all the local bureaucrats and petty apparatchiks to re-jigger all the testing and tracing programs in order to produce acceptable numbers and meet quotas. You probably think that\u2019s a bug in central planning, but actually it\u2019s the whole idea. You can lose your mind trying to comprehend the onion-like layers of manipulation by the central planners \u2014 weaving psyops into reverse psychology into perverse incentives intended to produce real incentives \u2014 all supposedly to achieve Utopian levels of social compliance.<\/p>\r\n<p>They never get there, of course. Never ever. They are crazy as bedbugs in the Covid ward. But even though they never get anywhere, at least the Central Planners get to control people like puppets the whole time, so there\u2019s that.<\/p>\r\n<p>\ud83d\udc89 At four jabs and one of the highest vaccination rates in the world, Israel has surpassed its highest Covid deaths per million EVER. And as of February 2, the line on the chart was headed straight up. Now, I\u2019m not a community college associate professor with a degree in biology or anything, but if the shots work, then \u2026 um \u2026 shouldn\u2019t the line be headed down at some point? Just saying.<\/p>\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/email.mg2.substack.com\/c\/eJxVUkmu2zAMPU28s6F5WHjx8YFew9BAO2psyZXk5KenrxyvChAcQT6Cj85UWFJ-j3sqtTvVVN87jBFeZYVaIXdHgTwFPzKJCBZKdc31WHHVhTLNGWAzYR1rPqDbD7sGZ2pI8dMhKEO6u4-zxQ5jz72aCZeSgcVGCi64bHOE9hewOXyA6GCEJ-R3itCt473Wvdzo1438auJ8HMphSzXuMbi0tVTYzALNzlDd_bRtTE038v3ncujXkpJv8bxOe05LhlLCE1q-VIC9dVwQhJ8g_IRpyh7uAa2ee0DcWqdYb42hPaMSes2x6o23lFiQUis2FDqYzfxN0bzKtVebcR3j436WLB-XUo-wY6jH2pueuTbPYIl77zFys6aSGT5hisSP0mrY49KFkSDSBHFMOeV8IIPDSCJDLNGSOs3U8Hjxt33Bz42hbSH_3ajL4--7zeYBrdhiZ0odItSTrKnF2xFDfU8QjV3BXzzW6x0-zE4LRMjtTfxk6ogFY0hoIhjR_KLtJFqdCSG6BuxT64qjS_MMYKJ36Rn8Pxh1x6w\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cdn.substack.com\/image\/fetch\/w_2612,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F33d01c40-19da-4c7e-a171-dd10cf9374a5_1306x898.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"378.177641653905\" data-attrs=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;&lt;a href=\" bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984=\"\" 33d01c40-19da-4c7e-a171-dd10cf9374a5_1306x898=\"\" \/>&nbsp;<\/a><\/td>\r\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<p><em>Have a super Saturday, and I\u2019ll see you guys back here on Monday to kick off another great week, as we begin counting down to the State of the Union.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Help us keep informing people about the truth, and keep spreading optimism and hope!
