Billions Of Copies Of Residual DNA In A Single Dose Of COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine
November 9th, 2023Via: Epoch Times:
A new preprint study up for peer review finds billions of residual DNA fragments in the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine vials.
The lead author of the study, molecular virologist David Speicher, who has a doctorate in virology, told The Epoch Times that their study is “the largest study” on residual DNA in COVID-19 vaccines to date.
“In our study, we measured DNA copies of spike, ori (origin of replication), and SV40 enhancer genes,” he told The Epoch Times. “The loads of SV40 enhancer-promoter, ori, and virus spike in Pfizer are up to 186 billion copies per dose.”
The spike he refers to is the DNA sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which can be transcribed to spike mRNA to be used in the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines to be translated to spike protein. The other two DNAs—SV40 enhancer genes and ori—help facilitate the replication of spike DNA.
However, the final mRNA vaccines should only include RNA and not residual DNA instructions for spike production.
The researchers sequenced the gene material in 27 mRNA vaccine vials from 12 different lots. Nineteen vials were from Moderna, and eight were from Pfizer.
“Further work is needed to investigate if anything in these vaccines is actually integrating into the human genome and what effect that may have,” the lead author wrote.
Four Current and Former L.A. Sheriff’s Department Employees Died by Suicide in a 24-Hour Span
November 9th, 2023Via: Los Angeles Times:
The suicide deaths of four current and former Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department employees over a 24-hour span have prompted a plea from Sheriff Robert Luna urging deputies to check on the well-being of their colleagues and friends.
…
There is no indication that that the deaths were related or that foul play was involved, but department sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation said the third and fourth deaths were discovered as word of the earlier deaths were spreading through the agency.
Canon Unveils More Affordable 5nm Lithography Machines to Challenge ASML, Order of Magnitude Cheaper
November 8th, 2023Via: Extreme Tech:
Dutch-based ASML rules the roost for the machines fabs use to create today’s most advanced semiconductors. Its gigantic fabrication devices, which resemble computers from the early days that took up entire rooms, can cost over $100 million each—a price the company can demand given its position atop the industry. Now, Canon is looking to disrupt ASML’s dominance in this market with a lithography machine of its own. The company claims it will cost substantially less, theoretically democratizing silicon fabrication by making it more accessible.
Canon hopes to make a dent in the silicon fab industry with its new fabrication system, which utilizes a unique approach to crafting semiconductor wafers. Its fabrication device is called the FPA-1200NZ2C, and it uses nanoimprint lithography (NIL) technology instead of photolithography like ASML offers. The difference between the two technologies is photolithography uses lasers to project a design through a mask onto the wafer, whereas Canon’s device imprints it like a stamp.
…
…it will be offered for “one-decimal place less” than a traditional machine from ASML. For example, an ASML machine with an equivalent line pitch would sell for roughly $150 million, meaning Canon’s device could be sold for just $15 million.

DHS Created Stanford ‘Disinfo’ Group that Censored Speech Before 2020 Election
November 7th, 2023Via: New York Post:
New emails show officials at the Department of Homeland Security created a Stanford University “disinformation” group that censored Americans’ speech before the 2020 election, according to a House Judiciary Committee report exclusively obtained by The Post.
The House panel’s 103-page staff interim report says never-before-seen emails and internal communications were obtained from the group, known as the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP), and show how it worked with DHS’ Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to flag, suppress and remove online speech in coordination with big tech companies.
One of EIP’s founding partners — the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab — described CISA’s central role in the alleged censorship effort in a July 31, 2020, email.
“I know the Council has a number of efforts on broad policy around the elections, but we just set up an election integrity partnership at the request of DHS/CISA and are in weekly comms to debrief about disinfo,” the lab’s senior director Graham Brookie wrote.
The staff report says, “[T]he federal government and universities pressured social media companies to censor true information, jokes, and political opinions.
“This pressure was largely directed in a way that benefitted one side of the political aisle: true information posted by Republicans and conservatives was labeled as ‘misinformation’ while false information posted by Democrats and liberals was largely unreported and untouched by the censors.”
Insurance Industry Execs ‘Alarmed’ by Surge in Deaths Among Young People – But Stop Short of Blaming COVID Shots
November 7th, 2023Via: The Defender:
According to InsuranceNewsNet, insurers are especially concerned by data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that show “mortality rates alarmingly rising for different categories,” including younger adult mortality rates that are up more than 20% above historic norms in 2023.
U.S. Debt Interest Bill Rockets Past $1 Trillion a Year
November 7th, 2023Via: Bloomberg:
Estimated annualized interest payments on the US government debt pile climbed past $1 trillion at the end of last month, Bloomberg analysis shows. That amount has doubled in the past 19 months, and is equivalent to 15.9% of the entire Federal budget for fiscal year 2022.
The figures are calculated using US Treasury data which state the government’s monthly outstanding debt balances and the average interest it pays.
ISRAEL TO CONTROL GAZA ‘INDEFINITELY’ AFTER WAR
November 7th, 2023Via: ZeroHedge:
The Biden White House has lately floated a plan that would see international peacekeeping forces control the security situation in the Gaza Strip once the war is over, which is premised on the total demise of Hamas, proving no small task especially given the immense network of miles of tunnels the group can utilize.
The post-Hamas “day after” has also been subject of proposals out of some leading Congressmen. There was speculation at first that Israeli leadership might welcome this, but a new televised interview with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu which aired Monday night reveals different thinking in Tel Aviv. Netanyahu asserted it is Israel which will have “security responsibility” over the Gaza Strip for some ‘indefinite’ amount of time after the conflict is over.
“I think Israel will for an indefinite period have security responsibility,” Netanyahu told ABC News. “We’ve seen what happens when we don’t have that… security responsibility, what we have is the eruption of Hamas terror on a scale that we couldn’t imagine.”

Walking to Work in San Francisco
November 6th, 2023It’s not just San Francisco. California, in general, is a disaster.
One of my sons was playing Minecraft and fighting a boy from California in some sort of online player vs player arena. They became friends. This boy, I’ll call him Bob, was also homeschooled and he’s around my son’s age. Bob’s parents removed him and his two siblings from public school as soon as mask wearing was implemented during Covid.
Flash forward a couple of years.
Bob’s parents ran a small transportation business east of the Bay Area. They sold their house, and packed up their children, their dogs, their money, their tax revenue and their business assets and ran for their lives. Let’s just say that they now live in a state with more firearm freedom.
My point in telling the story is that normal, working people are increasingly viewing California as a disaster. Only so many families like the one above can flee before California won’t be able to kick the fiscal can down the road anymore.

The terrifying reality of life on San Francisco’s drug-ravaged streets has been laid bare by one life-long resident who filmed her walk to work through scenes that have made the city an international symbol for squalor and despair.
…
The Tenderloin district is in the heart of San Francisco and near the Asian Art museum. It’s just a few blocks from City Hall. The area also includes part of the Compton Transgender Cultural District.
Robberies are up 14 percent so far this year in the Golden Gate City where mayor London Breed last month demanded cuts of 18 percent from next year’s police budget.
Reported deaths from drug overdoses reached 620 in the first nine months of the year, according to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, up from 540 for the same period in 2020.
And the city stands to lose $200 million a year in revenue through its business exodus – which has seen major hotels and retailers flee the city center.
Retail stalwart Old Navy announced they would be shuttering their flagship store in the area last month, becoming the latest chain to exit the city.
Nordstrom also announced they would be closing all of their locations in the city.
In April, Whole Foods announced it was closing all their locations, with Anthropologie and Office Depot having also made the same decisions leading some analysts to predict that the city has entered a ‘doom-loop’ of permanent decline.
