Climate of Sophistry 
This is what happens when “free speech” is seriously interfered with. Do you want to live in a prison of “mind control”?
Their censorship is evidence that the video contains truth they cannot allow to be shared openly. Too late. Over 2 million views in less than 24 hours. We coming for you Fauci & company and we don’t flinch.
Can you believe anything more ridiculous than internet companies telling you what to think? Well hey that’s the whole point of advertising.
it’s like they want to herd us into an “approved” method of treatment/prevention.

Did you notice in the first video that BLM girl ignorantly not listening to the doctor?
This is what the doctors said and I paraphrase: they prescribed their patients successfully with:
Zithromax (Azithromycin) an antibiotic, Hydroxycloroquinine and Zinc.
200mg Hydroxychloroquinine twice a week which is a low dose. I worked in Medicine and worked with quinine the malaria drug and as they say it has been around for 65 years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxychloroquine
The Doctor was saying Depression is caused by low zinc levels and vitamin d levels.
Low zinc manifests as loss of sense of smell and taste.
This is also symptoms of covid.
The zinc supplementation stops Rna polymerase. The hydroxychlorquine allows the zinc to go into the cell to inhibit the Rna polymerase. (In other words it stops the Rna viral replication).
Our bodies are using our zinc supplies all the time and may be low if we have been fighting viruses generally.
So the Covid depletes it even more.
Also with respect to Vitamin D; as this is manufactured in the skin by sunlight, therefore lockdown can deplete this further.
That BLM girl should just shut up and listen he was giving her life saving advice.
Zelator are you on YT? I would just copy n paste but I think it would have more impact if you commented one of Tony’s latest video about Gates in first person…
I really think you’d make an impact. 1:40 is where it starts
… an information war that is heading towards a physical war.
I’ve had some very bad thoughts lately.
We cannot live with these people here. We just cannot. They will have to be stopped. Because WE all know here…they will not even stop at being exposed for flat Earth theory…they will just keep going and going until either they get to enslave all of us, or we get rid of them. They no ability to intersect with truth…none at all…and they know that, and they know that this is how they live and what their scheme of parasitism is…they know it. It is simply time to stop.
On another note, can someone explain the CO2 laser and how it works.
More gems from SOD…
“As radiation travels through the atmosphere, the intensity increases if the Planck blackbody emission is greater than the incoming radiation and reduces if the Planck blackbody emission is less than the incoming radiation”

LOL@Klimate Katastrophe Kooks strikes again! Follow down to the end of that link to the last comment.
They’re just implementing the recommendations of EVENT 201 from October last year.
A comment on DOD towards myself and their self inflicted need to claim line spectrum can increase it’s source…
“That’s simply not true. If you enclose a heat source in a perfect reflector, the temperature will increase without limit. A less than perfect reflector will increase the temperature of the source compared with being surrounded by a perfect absorber at a fixed temperature. That’s how the highly reflective space blankets work. They also block convection, but at what we consider normal temperatures, say 300K, radiative heat transfer dominates.
But this is pointless. You have your mind made up and no amount of evidence will change it.”
Which we all know the source can’t increase greater than the heat source. Energy will increase, temperature will increase due to pressure but…
That’s an issue of emissivity though! High reflection is low emissivity. So this is the exact opposite of the ghe…in fact debunking it.
“If you enclose a heat source in a perfect reflector, the temperature will increase without limit.” But this part isn’t even true, if that were the case we would have unlimited energy, right? The heat can’t exceed it’s source output. SO he is spinning.
Heat blankets don’t increase your body temperature even at 100% reflection, correct?
Your body is a homeostatic system and is terrible to use for analogies about heat flow. Blankets stop convection, reflectivity reduces emissivity.
“If you enclose a heat source in a perfect reflector, the temperature will increase without limit.”
False. That’s retarded.
Adding energy back to the source, from the source…causing an infinite feedback loop.
People just say this shit its unbelievable.
Now back to the topic at hand — those censored doctors.

Yes but the temperature will increase until the heat source is exhausted not before 🙂 !
A warm refrigerator will increase the temperature of the room until everything melts or breaks down since it’s plunged to an electric energy input 🙂
@Z – Hockney is likely the Gnostic Illuminati that Fulford refers to. They’re the good guys. Some of what they write is purposefully designed as bait I think. Otherwise…humanity really has no other advocate…NONE.
Boomie – think of the tv series Survivor simply as a feminizing influence on mass society – any competition has nothing to do with determining truth, and consensus voting determines who gets silenced, etc. We face an enemy operating on levels beyond our awareness. Think of cognitive dissonance in movies, etc. It’s all enemy territory.

You ever heard of Alone? I like that show. The First two seasons they dropped people off on Vancouver island. It’s like Survivorman(Les Stroud), but a competition between 10 people. Who can make it the longest in the wild with only a couple item of their choice(10?).
Good Show. Does have some feminist characters but they are hilarious. Lucas in season one is a pretty funny. Other weird ass cat lady like wemon surviving in the forest too. I’ve seen season 1, 2 & 6. Survivorman is good too.

Joseph…Science of Doom
These idiots thought I was the physicist??? Maybe you should go over there and not use your real name and troll them some.
Latest from them,
I said= Nowhere near true unless the reflector can also withstand indefinite pressure. The temperate won’t exceed its heat source; any heat increases beyond its source would only come from increased pressure.”
Pressure from what? Maybe you’re assuming an atmosphere inside the reflector. That doesn’t have to be true. Let’s take a pellet of 238PuO2 and put it in an evacuated highly reflective inside and outside container. There will be a small amount of helium produced from the emitted alpha particles, but the internal pressure will still be negligible for a really long time. So the majority of the heat transfer will be by EM radiation. Are you saying that the temperature of the surface of the pellet in the reflective container will be the same as a free pellet in intergalactic space? If so, you’re not much of a physicist.
You also don’t seem to know how a laser actually works. Here’s some more questions for you: Define population inversion and stimulated emission.
BTW, being a physicist does not confer infallibility. Gerlich and Tscheuschner probably have more publications than you and are just as wrong about the greenhouse effect as you.
This is well said,
“And even with logarithmic CO2 absorption, how much heating can 1 in 2500 molecules have on the rest, particularly when energy is equipartitioned among degrees of freedom, and CO2 has more degrees of freedom than O2 and N2, meaning that it will be kinetically COLDER than those gases in any case, while being mixed in with them? In a gas, it is energy which gets equipartitioned, not temperature. The kinetic temperature of a particular species in a gas ensemble is proportional to the mean kinetic energy of the gas, divided by the number of degrees of freedom of the particular species. CO2 absorbs energy from the gas and puts it into additional internal degrees of freedom, and thus should have a lower kinetic temperature than the other atmospheric gas species. Therefore, perhaps CO2 really is a basic atmospheric coolant.”
Genius level explanation right there.
“Are you saying that the temperature of the surface of the pellet in the reflective container will be the same as a free pellet in intergalactic space?”
Yes…
Energy cannot be reused like that..
“The first law of thermodynamics: When energy passes into or out of a system (as work, as heat, or with matter), the system’s internal energy changes in accord with the law of conservation of energy. Equivalently, perpetual motion machines of the first kind (machines that produce work with no energy input) are impossible.”
A passive reflector contributes nothing. I don’t know sh!t about lasers but I know that.

“The CO2 greenhouse effect of the Earth’s atmosphere is a pure fiction of people who like to use large computers, without physical bases.” — Gerhard Gerlich ph.D.
“Money talks, and it can now ask for whatever conclusion you want.
Perhaps this has always been the case, but over the past few decades things appear to have gotten murkier — the public, on the back of junk science, have been molded into mindless foot-soldiers fighting on behalf the far-left and their extreme socialist ambitions for the planet. The climate “fight” has zero to do with global warming or CO2 emissions, and instead has everything to do with a reshaping of the way we live, with a take-down of capitalism, and with the removal of free speech.
Fight back.
And more crucially, prepare you and your family for a COOLING climate. For if the Sun is at the heart of earth’s climate –as any person capable of reasoned though would conclude– then the COLD TIMES are returning, the lower latitudes are REFREEZING, in line with historically low solar activity, cloud-nucleating Cosmic Rays, and a meridional jet stream flow. Even NASA appear to agree, if you read between the lines, with their forecast for this upcoming solar cycle (25) seeing it as “the weakest of the past 200 years,” with the agency correlating previous solar shutdowns to prolonged periods of global cooling here.”

Rome also had crippling demographics. The author doesn’t seem to put much stock in demographics. Missing a huge piece of the puzzle.
“Carbon dioxide does, in fact, have a lower thermal conductivity than either nitrogen or oxygen (by roughly 36%, calculated from the figures of Gerlich & Tscheuschner, 2007 and 2009). So a large increase (i.e. by hundreds of thousands of parts per million) in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration that would increase the thermal gradient accordingly, could produce a measurable surface warming. As this cannot change the amount of heat flowing through the system, the effect would be manifest by a decrease in atmospheric temperature offset by a corresponding increase in surface temperature. However, a meagre doubling of the presently insignificant levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide cannot have a measurable effect. In fact, geological history records that other factors have a much greater influence on global climate than carbon dioxide.”
I am amazed how many accept this as true on both sides of this climate debate. Only by increasing the molar mass of the atmosphere would it increase surface temperature. Its lower thermal conductivity would mean it would expedite thermal energy off of nitrogen and oxygen faster. If you aren’t changing the amount of heat flowing through a system you are not changing the temperature gradient.
This paper is a fascinating read on Venus:
“The massive lower atmosphere, primarily sulfur, SN, and CS, currently mistaken for
CO2, capped by the lower cloud layer are the source of the high surface pressure, 92 bars. This
layer will settle to the surface of the planet as it cools, adding to the existing mantle. The
temperature and pressure immediately above the lower cloud layer are similar to those at the
surface of the Earth. The volatile elements currently found above the lower cloud layer
represent a tiny fraction of the total produced by the 6,000 year (BP) impact explosion on
Jupiter, the remainder of which orbit invisibly in the inner solar system awaiting capture. These
will form the lithosphere, crust, oceans, atmosphere, flora and fauna of a new terrestrial planet.”

Frenchman arrested for not wearing mask properly in store.
@Postma
You could get in touch with David Whitehead(Truth Warrior). I Actually found him in the comments of one of your videos.
High likely hood he would agree to an interview. He’s got a nice little friendly platform going.
Video I found him on.
He is a Canadian like you.
Mask giving people staph and cavities.
You know the face mask is like underwear for the mouth, it needs washed frequently. I did suspect hygiene would could become an issue with masks.
We have still have signs everywhere telling people to wear mask, thanks to John Bel Edwards(D), because apparently we’re going to allow him that power.
But a lot of stores also have up a sign saying, “If you are not wearing a mask we will assume medical exception”.
It was only the first week or so I was really feeling the pressure to wear a mask. It’s mostly passed now.
The eye doctor is the only place that took my temperature. Even there I could tell it was only one lady taking it seriously and the other employees were just placating her to avoid conflict.
Once I was with the alone doctor she didn’t give a crap, she could tell I knew what was up too.
I wonder how many are immune to C19 and that information has been squelched. Their antibodies might even posses the cure that will “miraculously” be found if the Democrats are successful at stealing the presidency.
last election voter fraud especially with absentee ballets were rampant, votes were forged, republican votes destroyed… The US voting system as it stands has been fundamentally corrupted and only held up in “the honor system” and there is no honer among thieves.
“I wonder how many are immune to C19”
About 95%-99% of the population. In other words, generally healthy people. You might have had a runny nose for a couple days you couldn’t distinguish from allergies, or had no symptoms what so ever. I have a 90 year old neighbor who supposedly caught it, he almost died but pulled through.
How many people are “immune” to the Flu?
As for voting fraud I found a good article recently.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/democratic-operative-says-hes-been-committing-voter-fraud-for-decades-warns-theres-a-war-coming-november-3rd-over-this-stuff
“An anonymous Democratic operative revealed he has been rigging mail-in ballots for decades.”
…
“The operative explained that the ballots themselves were easy to reproduce and feature no security features. He would put them into a copy machine and make his own. However, the return envelopes are “more secure than the ballot,” so he procured them from legitimate voters by canvassing neighborhoods with other staff members and convincing voters to give them their completed ballots.
He’d then take the legitimate ballots home, steam the envelopes open, and remove the real ballot. Then he would put the fraudulent ballot inside the signed certificate and reseal the envelope before putting the ballots into several mailboxes, as to draw less attention.
Nursing homes, he explained, are also fertile ground for fraud.”
They found mail trucks full of republican votes burned up.
Quite frankly the “parties” should be dismantled and an individual merit system put in place of it. That’s never going to happen though, as long as corruption rules governments.

CD Marshall wrote:
“On another note, can someone explain the CO2 laser and how it works.”
Sure. It’s actually quite simple. Selected excerpts from my prior writings:
==========
The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (in the Clausius Statement sense… “No process is possible whose sole result is the transfer of heat from a cooler to a hotter body”) states that energy cannot flow from a lower-energy region to a higher-energy region without external work being done upon the system… not directly, not via excitation of a molecule’s vibrational, rotational and/or electronic mode quantum states then transferred to translational motion of other molecules via collisional de-excitation, not ever. This implies that ‘backradiation’ cannot warm an already-warmer object… all it can do is prevent that object from attaining the lower temperature it would otherwise attain sans that ‘backradiation’ against a background colder than the atmosphere (in this case, that background would be the temperature of space). At any temperature higher than that radiation’s equivalent Wien Displacement Law temperature, the radiation is reflected.
The planet has an average temperature of 288 K, with an equivalent Wien Displacement Law radiation wavelength of 10.062 µm, whereas CO2 emits at 14.98352 µm (lower energy), 10.4 µm (lower energy) and 9.4 µm (higher energy)… thus the only ‘backradiation’ which can warm the surface above its average 288 K temperature comes from CO2 vibrationally excited to its {v3(1)} (asymmetric stretch) vibrational mode quantum state (the highest vibrational mode) by collision with N2 vibrationally excited to its {v1(1)} vibrational mode quantum state (which picks up its energy via collision with O3 (ozone), which becomes excited by absorbing solar insolation), whereupon that CO2 radiatively de-excites to its {v20(2)} (bending) vibrational mode quantum state via emission of 9.4 µm radiation. Since O3 is prevalent in the stratosphere, this radiation primarily originates in the stratosphere, and since only approximately half of it is downwelling, only approximately half of it can warm the planet’s surface above its 288 K average temperature. The other half of the radiation is upwelling, has an exponentially increasing mean free path length with increasing altitude due to decreasing atmospheric density, is in the Infrared Atmospheric Window, and thus has a nearly unfettered path out to space. That shedding of energy to space is a cooling process. The Wien Displacement Law equivalent temperature for 9.4 µm radiation is 308.3 K (35.124 C, 95.22 F). Any object above that temperature will have higher energy than the radiation, thus it will not have many available energy states which absorption of the photon can cause excitation to (because those energy states are already excited), and will thus reflect the radiation, not absorb it.
{ NOTE 1: The above applies to singular photons, and is not comparable to coherent light, as from a laser. Lasers warm by increasing the intensity (the energy density) of coherent light. Energy flows from a higher energy density to a lower energy density region, which translates into increased temperature of the object upon which that coherent light is incident, even if the Wien Displacement Law equivalent temperature of that coherent light is lower than the temperature of the object. E = n * h * f, where n = number of photons, h = Planck’s constant, f = frequency. In our atmosphere, IR photon flux (energy density) will never get high enough to warm in a similar manner as a laser does, nor will that photon flux ever be coherent. }
{ NOTE 2: Most CO2 lasers emit at 9.6 µm, whereas the text above specifies 9.4 µm. This is because CO2 lasers typically use at least some portion of 13C carbon isotope in their CO2 molecules to alter emission wavelength. Natural CO2 predominantly has the 12C isotope, and thus the wavelength emitted is different. CO2 laser emitted wavelength can be adjusted by adjusting the isotopic ratio of the carbon and oxygen comprising the CO2 molecules. }
Kirchhoff’s Law states that the frequency at which an atom or molecule absorbs radiation is also the frequency at which it will emit radiation. That is, however, affected by fine structure rotational mode quantum state interaction, collisional broadening and by Doppler broadening.
Note that the lowest excited vibrational mode quantum state of N2 has a (very) slightly lower energy level (2.9 cm-1) than the highest vibrational mode quantum state of CO2 (when accounting for N2 anharmonicity, centrifugal distortion and vibro-rotational interaction… without accounting for those, the energy differential is 18 cm-1). This energy differential is more than made up by translational kinetic energy during collision, as discussed below. Were this not so, CO2 lasers could not work. (reference linked below)
This is the same method by which a CO2 laser works… the laser filling gas within the discharge tube consists of around 10–20% carbon dioxide (CO2), around 10–20% nitrogen (N2), and a few percent hydrogen (H2) and/or xenon (Xe), and the remainder helium (He). Electron impact vibrationally excites the N2 to its first vibrational mode quantum state {v1(1)}, the N2 collides with CO2, the CO2 becomes excited in the asymmetric stretch vibrational mode quantum state {v3(1)}, and de-excites to its {v1(1)} or {v20(2)} vibrational modes by emission of 9.4 µm or 10.4 µm radiation (wavelength dependent upon isotopic composition of the CO2 molecules) as described above. The helium is used to fully de-excite the CO2 to the {v20(0)} ground state after it’s radiatively de-excited to maintain population inversion (which is necessary for stimulated emission), but this is unimportant to the process of energy transfer from vibrationally excited N2 to CO2 in the atmosphere. The process by which the N2 becomes vibrationally excited (in the case of a CO2 laser via electron impact; in the atmosphere via translational-to-vibrational collisional processes and via vibrational-to-vibrational collisional processes with solar-excited O3) is similarly unimportant… the concept of energy flowing from N2 to CO2 is the same. Laser wavelength can be tuned by altering the isotopic ratio of the carbon and oxygen atoms comprising the CO2 molecules in the discharge tube, with heavier isotopes resulting in longer wavelength emission.
