Migrant Rape in Germany
Apparently it’s a crime in Germany to post these statistics. I wonder why? Do you think it’s possible that perhaps the German people don’t want to live around people who are disproportionally disposed to commit rape? Or that if the German people knew the truth, they might decide that perhaps living under the rule of […]

Right on schedule. Time to "cool the marks." The final step in every con game is to persuade the victim that the con artist is a nice guy so the victim declines to pursue justice. https://archive.is/DuH7r
And it was all in the plan from the beginning.
In the 2017 pandemic planning document, SPARS Pandemic Scenario 2025-2032, pandemic response planners explicitly considered the vaccine injury problem. The planned response is to wait until public pressure builds, call for an inquiry to further stall, and ultimately hand out token sums to the subset of victims who can "prove" their injuries were vaccine-related. At no point will the pharma execs or regulators responsible for the debacle ever suffer any consequences for it, if the pandemic planners have their way. See Chapter 17, page 59.

Aren't the coolers - or in this case the authorities responsible for the COVID vaccine debacle - nice and generous people after all, trying to make things right and help out the mark?
Want to learn more about cooling the mark so you can keep an eye out for it happening around you? This article is a bit dry and long winded, but it goes into the topic in detail:

TIL that in 550 AD, the Byzantine Emperor sent two monks to China to smuggle silk worms out of there to avoid Persian control over the Silk Road. The monks hid the worms in their walking sticks, and the silk industry they started lasted for 650 years.

📸 On April 30, 1961, 27-year-old Soviet doctor Leonid Rogozov performed a successful operation on himself to remove his appendix in 1 hour and 45 minutes during an Antarctic expedition.
This case became a world-famous sensation.
This surgeon is still the only doctor at the newly built Soviet Antarctic station Novolazarevskaya, who was able to perform an operation on himself in polar conditions. Leonid Rogozov discovered symptoms: fever, pain in the right iliac region. He was the only doctor on the expedition. Diagnosis: acute appendicitis.
An urgent operation could have saved Rogozov’s life, but there was a problem - he was the only surgeon in the 3000 km area. There was no physical opportunity to take Rogozov to the hospital, so he decided to operate on himself. Meteorologist Artemyev and driver-mechanic Teplinsky who held a small mirror to his stomach volunteered to help Leonid Rogozov in this matter. In a supine position, the operation lasted 1 hour 45 minutes.
After resting for a couple of weeks, Leonid Rogozov continued to perform his duties as part of the expedition. He returned to Leningrad with everyone in 1962. Despite the fallen world fame, Rogozov completed his residency and worked all his life in medical institutions of our Northern capital.

“I didn’t allow myself to think about anything other than the task... If I had lost consciousness, Sasha would have given me an injection. My poor assistants. I looked at them: they themselves were whiter than their medical gowns. At the most difficult stage of the operation, my hands became like rubber. But then I realized that, in fact, I was already saved!”

Survivors of tsunamis point out that before the wave actually hits, the water dramatically pulls back and recedes from the shore. And when that happens, one doesn’t have long to run away. For human societies entering periods of chaos, history shows a fairly similar dynamic: an increasing number of citizens choose to retreat. They stop serving and caring; they become sullen, uncooperative and uninterested in coming to society’s aid. This is not a problem of morals, nor a situation that is helped by blaming the young. Instead, the withdrawal of the people, just like the withdrawal of the shoreline, is a sign that a tsunami is approaching.
