Reiner Füllmich, Bobby Jr.: Driving the Virus Narrative at All Costs. But why?

This week I pull together the threads on the "virus at all costs" campaign that is now underway. Why are the big players so intent on maintaining the virus narrative? And what has this got to do with why Reiner Füllmich is is accused of embezzlement from the Corona Committee? Why is Robert F. Kennedy advertising the claim of a Wuhan lab leak?

Getting Woke to Woke: The Shifting Ground of Being. Attempted Covid Revival.

On Friday's program, I dive into the issue of "woke" and all of its derivatives.

Who decides what is an ‘acceptable risk’? And acceptable to whom?

The U.S. EPA has said that it's ordered Norfolk Southern to test for dioxin in East Palestine to determine whether "contaminants from the derailment pose any unacceptable risk to human health."

Down the PCR Spiral Yet Again

Tonight's program goes deep into the PCR testing scam and biotechnology generally. I am joined by Dr. Kevin Corbett, a renowned expert on diagnostic testing.

Is Virology a Science?

Statistician Christine Massey returns to the program and we discuss whether virology is really a science. The question is not so far-fetched. Science must be repeatable.

Kingston Hospital, larger of two hospitals in a county of 180,000 people, has lost about half of its nursing staff this year. Erik Glazier explains the problem.

The precautionary principle, informed consent and deep background on the Food and Drug Administration. Tantra Studio and the novels of Bob Dylan

Who gets the benefit of the doubt? I will discuss the idea of informed consent. I have coverage of this week’s FDA approval of a Covid “vaccine” that we understand is not actually available in the United States. Was this even legal?
Listen

Open letter to PBS from The Rev. Katie Grace Pepe, a Planet Waves FM listener

Your actions do nothing to enable informed consent and instead ostracize and stigmatize those who raise legitimate concerns. You are colluding with other powerful entities to effectively silence valuable dissenting voices, to the detriment of your viewers. Isn’t it the responsibility of a free press to fully investigate and speak truth to power?

Current Tantra Studio: Trust • Truth • Trance • Tantra

Tonight's Tantra Studio is a study of relating and sexuality in the digital age. I redefine love as a blend of trust and respect. To be open and live in our times means being at peace with anything about you being known to anyone at any time. A tall order, though that is indeed the reality of the time in which we live.
