I believe that Care mentioned that there were two different manufacturing processes for the Pfizer/Biontech Covid-19 jab but this appears that more was going on..
Was the Pfizer/BioNtech vaccine trial a bait and switch?

"Pfizer's 6-month report to the FDA doesn't include the process 2 comparison, but it shows a significant adverse event rate in placebo subjects AFTER they were given the vaccine compared to the original group "AS EXPECTED"

Just to add from Albert Bourla's book 'Moonshot'-
Page 52
They had narrowed the vaccine to two candidates b1 and b2.
"Eighty percent of the data we had was from b1, and we couldn't afford the time to develop additional data for b2...It was true that substantial work would be required of Pfizer to take the b2 construct and make it commercially viable- to manufacture it at scale with consistency."

One would expect that they would go with b1 but not so fast-
Albert Bourla made the final choice. "let's go with the b2 candidate and let's hope we are right."
The decision was made July 24, 2020.[17]

Just to give everyone the felling of who we are dealing with here...

Venezuela's President Declares Inevitable Shift Away From US Dollar in De-Dollarization Push

The president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, said on his weekly “Con Maduro +” program earlier this week that Venezuela will shift away from using the U.S. dollar in trade. Commending Zimbabwe for its initiative to issue gold-backed digital currency, he said (as translated from Spanish by Google):

Many alternative initiatives to the dollar are emerging in the world. We could say that we are beginning to experience a sustained accelerated process of de-dollarization of the commercial world — of world trade

The world comes to a point where it gets tired, and also new economic powers are emerging … There could be a basket of currencies.

Maduro then highlighted Zimbabwe’s gold-backed digital currency initiative as a step towards “necessary and fair” de-dollarization efforts. He also mentioned de-dollarization initiatives by the BRICS economic bloc, mentioning the group’s New Development Bank (NDB). The BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) are also working to create a common currency that will help them reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar.

Will Venezuela Join And Adapt BRICS Currency

Due to rapid inflation in the US, the country is looking to adopt a new currency. It may be a local one, or potentially, a currency instilled by BRICS. While Venezuela’s intentions aren’t explicit, it is clear that its economic priorities align with BRICS and other nations looking to join the alliance.

Argentina raises interest rate to 97% as it struggles to tackle inflation

The Central Bank of Argentina raised its key interest rate Monday by six percentage points to 97% in an effort to tackle soaring inflation that has reached 30-year highs.

Central banks across the globe are struggling to rein in inflation, but it's a particular problem in Argentina, where the annual inflation rate soared above 100% last month.

That's the highest level since the early 1990s, and currently, Venezuela and Zimbabwe are the only two countries experiencing higher inflation than Argentina, according to International Monetary Fund data. (By comparison, inflation hovers below 5% in the US, where the central bank has raised key interest rates by five percentage points over 14 months.)

USDC Issuer Circle Moves $8.7B to Repo Agreements to Protect Reserves From U.S. Government Default

Stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Financial is rebalancing the reserves backing the $30 billion USD Coin (USDC) as it braces for the risk of a U.S. government debt default.

The Circle Reserve Fund, managed by global investment management giant BlackRock, added $8.7 billion in overnight repurchase (repo) agreements to the portfolio as of May 16, according to the fund’s website. The so-called tri-party repo agreements involve banking giants such as BNP Paribas, Goldman Sachs, Barclays and Royal Bank of Canada.

Overnight repo transactions are effectively short-term collateralized loans. The borrower is selling a security – in this case, U.S. Treasurys – for cash, and agrees to buy back the collateral the next day for a slightly higher price. What’s really happening, though, is that big institutional investors with cash to spare are parking that with Wall Street dealers that need funding.

While this plan has been underway for many months, the inclusion of these highly liquid assets also provides additional protection for the USDC reserve in the unlikely event of a U.S. debt default,” a Circle spokesperson emailed in a note.

We don’t want to carry exposure through a potential breach of the ability of the U.S. government to pay its debts,” Jeremy Allaire, chief executive officer of Circle, said last week in an interview with Politico.

China Military’s Use of AI Raises Alarm for Congress, Ex-Google CEO

China’s embrace of artificial intelligence for warfare has touched off alarm bells everywhere from Silicon Valley to the Pentagon.

Former Google Chief Executive Officer Eric Schmidt is among those raising concerns, and he testified at a House hearing about China Wednesday evening as head of an initiative that’s focused on speeding the US defense establishment’s adoption of AI.

Ylbar Bjarkatri, one of the report’s authors, told Bloomberg News that it aims to convey to the Department of Defense, Congress and the public the urgency to accelerate efforts to develop an AI-enabled US military force. But such efforts have raised concerns of an AI arms race that could eventually escalate into any conflict between the US and China.

Ex-Google CEO says AI as revolutionary for warfare as nuclear weapons

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has advocated for the military use of artificial intelligence (AI) to build a more robust and adaptable defense system for the United States against China and other rivals.

AI could be just as revolutionary for warfare as nuclear weapons, argued Schmidt, according to an interview published by Wired on Tuesday.

Istari Emerges From Stealth To Transform Digital Engineering and Accelerate Industry 4.0

Founded by Will Roper, and backed by former Google chief executive officer Eric Schmidt, technology startup Istari, Inc., has emerged from stealth mode recently, announcing plans to revolutionize the field of digital engineering, where all technology is created, tested, and even certified through modeling and simulation.

Eric Schmidt Is Building the Perfect AI War-Fighting Machine

The company reflects Schmidt’s unique position as a link between the tech industry and the Pentagon. Virtual replicas known as digital twins are common in manufacturing and could help the Pentagon develop hardware more quickly. And Istari is a building block in a wider project in which Schmidt is attempting to bring Silicon Valley technology and thinking to the US military.

Istari invites the US defence industry to enter The Matrix

A new start-up says the physical universe can’t compete with its virtual world of digital threads, which promise faster, cheaper, and greener engineering

In October 2020, Roper released a guide inspired by The Matrix called There is No Spoon: The New Digital Acquisition Reality. He followed this with a second guide, Bending the Spoon, released in 2021. “This is what defence acquisition has been waiting for — a new paradigm, a digital one, that can wake up to a new reality for both taxpayers and warfighters,” says Roper. “Its spoon-bending possibilities await us. It’s time to wake up!”

Colossal Biosciences says it’s one step closer to bringing back extinct species

Colossal Biosciences, the Dallas company working to bring back the woolly mammoth and Tasmanian tiger, is one step closer to its ambitious goals after generating the first high-quality reference genome of an African elephant.

The de-extinction company is working in partnership with the Vertebrate Genomes Project to ensure the survival of elephant species. The work illustrates a step forward in animal conservation and the future advances of Colossal’s efforts. Last year, the partnership announced a near complete sequence of the Asian elephant genome.

THE CIA JUST INVESTED IN WOOLLY MAMMOTH RESURRECTION TECHNOLOGY

AS A RAPIDLY ADVANCING climate emergency turns the planet ever hotter, the Dallas-based biotechnology company Colossal Biosciences has a vision: “To see the Woolly Mammoth thunder upon the tundra once again.” Founders George Church and Ben Lamm have already racked up an impressive list of high-profile funders and investors, including Peter Thiel, Tony Robbins, Paris Hilton, Winklevoss Capital — and, according to the public portfolio its venture capital arm released this month, the CIA.

In-Q-Tel, its new investor, is registered as a nonprofit venture capital firm funded by the CIA. On its surface, the group funds technology startups with the potential to safeguard national security. In addition to its long-standing pursuit of intelligence and weapons technologies, the CIA outfit has lately displayed an increased interest in biotechnology and particularly DNA sequencing.

Why the interest in a company like Colossal, which was founded with a mission to “de-extinct” the wooly mammoth and other species?” reads an In-Q-Tel blog post published on September 22. “Strategically, it’s less about the mammoths and more about the capability.”

Peter Thiel Is Latest Billionaire Said to Have Met With Jeffrey Epstein

Mr. Thiel apparently had several meetings with Mr. Epstein in 2014, according to records of the disgraced financier reviewed by The New York Times.

In 2014, the venture capitalist Peter Thiel was gaining prominence as one of Silicon Valley’s most successful entrepreneurs and investors. He had made billions of dollars as a co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, where he was chairman; and he sat on the board of Facebook, where he was the company’s first outside investor.

That made him an ideal contact for Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender with a knack for cultivating the rich and powerful.

Mr. Thiel apparently had several meetings with Mr. Epstein that year, according to scheduling records of the disgraced financier that were reviewed by The New York Times.

GF, I'm guessing here, they are parsing the language here. The problem, as usual, would require these idiots to go back and look at exactly, in great detail, what "pewblick debt" meant back then. It seems to have been so specific they had to include the war issue. Oddly, I can see where the bots took the language "insurrection" = J6, and "debt" = "debt ceiling" and slammed them together in an attempt to create something new. The problem of course is 1871, and the issue is, of course, The Corporation Known as The United States located in DC, which is decidedly NOT pewblick debt.

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

What is really telling is this here:

The White House has studied the issue for months, with some aides concluding that Biden would likely have the authority to declare the debt limit unconstitutional as a last-ditch way to sidestep default.

Biden world tells progressives to chill on the talk of 14th Amendment

The only reason you study this stupidity for MONTHS is you knew this was coming and there wasn't stlhit all you could do to stop it, otherwise you'd spend the MONTHS working out an agreement.

Game of Chicken. Which should alert the sheep that Team Joe doesn't give a slthot about them at all, though I'd say Ukraine and the Invasion should let them know too, but... ugh.

To the initiated it looks like the Corporation is going bankrupt, and they cannot Chapter themselves out, and, as in the case of a companies that go bust, when they go under they no longer exist. The issue of course is there are a few folks who get this would be good, while most would not see it so.

To paraphrase Rosie Rios, the only way to alter consumer behavior-sheep, is a jolt to the system.

From In-Q-TELs blog:

How Can We Use Biology to Solve Global Issues?

It’s biotechnology.

Understanding the code, and learning to read it (DNA sequencing), write it (DNA synthesis), and edit it (using tools like CRISPR/Cas) is work that is ongoing all over the world and generating enormous amounts of both raw DNA sequence data and information on how that data works inside cells to produce useful functions and goods. In fact, there is so much DNA sequence and related data now that another technological revolution is being used to supercharge the biorevolution: the revolution in computation, including artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) and quantum computing. AI and ML (and soon, quantum) are being applied to large biological datasets to help manufacture existing biological products (like insulin) and to make products that don’t exist in nature (like new cancer treatments and industrial materials). When engineered biology, designed with AI and ML tools, is combined with the most advanced lab automation (to do more lab work faster), you get what is now called synthetic biology, or “synbio.”

Synbio is the use of biology, AI/ML, and lab automation to accelerate the engineering cycle of design-build-test-learn to make increasingly sophisticated and useful biotechnology products. To use a hockey analogy: using AI and ML on genomics data, you take better aim at the goal when making biology designs that are useful, and with lab automation, you take a lot more shots on goal.

We now sit at a pivotal point in history, where transnational issues (pandemics, climate change, population growth, human migration) intersect with nation-to-nation competition that will increase the potential for global conflict in coming decades, a reality that was formally recognized this week by the Biden administration in the release of the Executive Order (EO) on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe, and Secure American Bioeconomy. At a White House summit held to discuss the EO, participants made clear the importance of U.S. government support for synbio through early-stage funding of innovative companies and the training of world-class scientists and engineers. Nations whose biotechnology infrastructure and industry excel will be well-positioned to achieve early those goals listed at the top of this article. Perhaps more importantly, leadership in biotechnology will allow the U.S. to help set the ethical, as well as the technological, standards for the use of this technology. How we employ the potentially staggering power of biotechnology to shape the planet and humanity itself will matter as much as our ability to do so.

Eric Schmidt On Synthetic Biology, AI, Ethics And The Bioeconomy’s ‘Seismic Shift’

Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of GoogleGOOG, has a new passion that he’s betting big on: The Bioeconomy. Last year, his philanthropic organization Schmidt Futures launched a Bio Futures group and published a strategic report with recommendations for how the US government should be investing in growing this vital part of the economy consisting of goods and services that are built with biology.

I’m excited about the potential of AI to accelerate the development of a thriving bioeconomy. Without advanced computation, discoveries of the past decade, such as the discovery of new methods to store data in DNA instead of energy-guzzling data centers, would have been impossible. I’m excited about the prospects for AI to accelerate many sectors of the bioeconomy - biomedical, agricultural, and industrial - as well as to drive new basic research discoveries in biology broadly.

WGA STRIKERS JOINED BY REP. ADAM SCHIFF, STARS FROM 'STAR TREK' AS TALKS REMAIN STALLED

Hollywood writers received some political backing today from California Congressman Adam Schiff, who today stood side-by-side with striking writers as the Writers Guild of America strike nears the end of its third week.

And, it was Star Trek day at the WGA strike in front of Paramount Studios. Writers from that series, as well as some actors, are here to show solidarity.

Schiff joined protesters in Burbank, saying that the generational change writers are facing needs to be addressed.

"I don't think any generation of writers has seen such a dramatic change in the industry. That change has made a lot more content possible. It's made it possible for us to see it in our homes, to get through a pandemic, but it's also made it possible to really squeeze them in terms of their wages and income," Schiff said.

The writers are also facing the issue of AI. The growing presence of artificial intelligence and could it take away jobs. Writers and others worry it will be able to replace their creativity.

"We are all working under contracts that were for an industry that doesn't exist anymore. For an industry as it was 30 years ago, and that is not the situation that we're in right now. It's not the economy that we are in and it's not the business," said Jeri Ryan, an actress who starred in "Star Trek: Voyager."

Rel I've been wondering about #916
We are saving Israel for last.
Very specific reason not mentioned a single time.

Aside from the obvious when do you think this is going to come into play? Since there seems to be more than one interpretation I circled back to Albert Bourla's book 'Moonshot', Chapter 10- A Beacon of Hope, which involves Pfizer's use of Israel as the real live test country.

Starting page 149...One of the biggest issues facing Pfizer was that the world was not set up for a mass deployment of the Covid jabs and they had to manage the delivery system. The key was that there needed to be an uninterrupted supply so that country could be used as a model for other countries.

I find it noteworthy that all the key players were all Jewish. Bibi Netanahu, Bourla, Michael Dolsten [head of research] and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

This is what finally tilted Bourla to select Israel---
Israel came up with the Green Pass idea, were preparing to deploy the army, were going to strongly deal with any vaccine hesitancy and they had a closed border. All of this was necessary to ensure that the jabs were given to a very large % of the population. Pfizer along with a steering committee and Harvard University had access to real time data so they were very aware of the waning efficacy of the jabs.

Bourla seemed to be suffering from vaccine hesitancy. Bibi and his wife both knew that Bourla was not jabbed. He claims he finally did get it but who knows if that is true. He made a huge emphasis on wanting to be in Israel on March 11, the first anniversary of the WHO declaration of Covid as a pandemic. He nicely timed things that he couldn't go because the second jab was given too late.

He provides all types of excuses why he wouldn't take the jab but this stands out. His concern that senior management would have to take the jab if he did. He couldn't afford to loose any of them.
"But if I was vaccinated, I would want my team vaccinated, and so on along the line of management." page 151

Israel continued to test and share data with Pfizer which brings us to the breakthrough cases. Not only did Pfizer have the data about these individuals but also the personal characteristics of those who were being infected including asymptomatic.

What have they done with the data from the asymptomatic???


The Israeli mentality played a very significant role in the success of the jab roll out.
Ambassador Dermer pointed out that the people would be the perfect subjects since they were accustomed to come together during a crisis.
"Free spirited as we are during the periods of peace, we are the most disciplined during periods of crisis." Page 150

What have they done with the data from the asymptomatic???

I wonder what qualifies for firing. Not likely to happen but it would be great to see her before Congress trying to explain the ethics behind this.
