"A Half Truth is a Whole Lie": The Omicron Variant, Cross-Reactive Immunity, and the Manufactured Illusion of an Unprecedented Virus Julius Ruechel On December 2nd, 2021, a study published on medRxiv (pre-print) found that: " Population-level evidence suggests that the Omicron variant is  associated with substantial ability to evade immunity from prior infection . " At first glance this seems to directly contradict the large number of recent studies demonstrating long-lasting immunity to Covid after a natural infection (more than  141 studies  to date). How can both of these things be true? Meanwhile, another study published in medRxiv (preprint) on December 8th, 2021, confirmed that  vaccine-escape is happening with the Omicron variant , which means that the current batch of vaccines are not capable of neutralizing the Omicron variant. Too bad for everyone that's already had 3 doses of the magic elixir. Go back to square one. Pfizer has already reassured t...

(But even better other MMS also exited the flight in solidarity!) The Post-Partisan Emporium's  Purpose and Standards This site does not have a particular political position. We welcome articles from various points of view, and civil debate when differences arise. Contributions of articles from posters are always welcome. Unless a contribution is really beyond the pale, we do not edit what goes up as topics for discussion. If you would like to contribute an article, let one of the moderators know. Likewise if you would like to become an official contributor so you can put up articles yourself, but for that we need to exchange email addresses and we need a Google email address from you. Contributions can be anything, including fiction, poems, cartoons, or songs. They can be your own writing or someone else’s writing which has yet to be published. We understand that tempers flare during heated conversations, and we're willing to overlook the occasional name-calling in that s...

By Joaquin Flores “For now we see through a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” – 1 Corinthians 13:12,  The Epistles of Paul, the Holy Bible The ‘Smart City’ will be reintroduced as the better option, in the present age of artificial supply-line disasters, manufactured ‘cyber-terrorism’, closing off access to banking, and critical infrastructure. What have the technocrats learned from the twenty year studies of the lives of prisoners and  prison guards  who live-on-facility, from places like Abu Ghraib and Gitmo? What has their study of pain, captivity, and punishment revealed? How have the use of psychotropics, and studies into neo-Buddhist nihilism, been integrated into the elite’s dream of a prison grid society, as specified in Klaus Schwab’s “ Covid19: The Great Reset ” and “ The Fourth Industrial Revolution ”? What if life in a prison city was ‘better’ in most respects tha...

How Vulnerable Is Your Personal Supply Chain? Charles Hugh Smith How vulnerable is your personal supply chain? For the average American, the answer is: very. Americans consider abundance and ready availability as birthrights so basic they're like the air we breathe.  The idea that shelves could become bare and stay bare is incomprehensible. yet that is the world we're entering, for a number of complex reasons. One is that the world added not just another billion humans (now 7.9 billion), but one billion middle-class consumers, consumers who use about 100 times more energy per person than poor people.  These additional billion middle-class consumers doubled the number of high-energy consuming humans in a few decades, and this enormous expansion of demand has consumed all the easy-to-extract resources of the planet. There are no cheap, easy-to-extract resources left; all that's left is expensive to reach, extract, transport, etc., and since energy is the master resource, as i...
