THE CIA, BACKING NAZIS IN UKRAINE SINCE WW2
The Covert Operation to Back Ukrainian Independence that Haunts the CIA
After WWII, officials in Washington sent scores of agents to their deaths in a misguided effort to create an uprising against Moscow.
"In late 1949, a series of unmarked flights began launching from central Europe. Gargantuan C-47s, flown by Hungarian or Czech pilots, barreled toward Turkey, and then turned north over the Black Sea, evading radar by flying barely above the ground. As the planes flew over Lviv a string of parachutes opened, a handful of commandos tumbling into the sky over Soviet Ukraine. On the ground, they linked up with Ukrainian resistance fighters.
Operation Red Sox, as it was known, was one of the first covert missions of the still new Cold War. The American-trained commandos would feed intelligence back to their handlers using new radio and communications equipment, stoking nascent nationalist movements in Ukraine, Belarus, Poland and the Baltics.
Yet, back in Washington, concerns started to grow. On the one hand, there was the reality of who these Ukrainian emigres were actually linking up with. The main body of Ukrainian insurgents, and in particular the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, had already been linked directly to Nazi atrocities in the region. “They were Nazis, pure and simple,” one CIA operations chief said. “Worse than that, because a lot of them did the Nazis’ dirty work for them.”

"Omicron-specific antibody levels increased after the third dose—nearly 21-fold at week three and nearly 8-fold at week four, compared to four weeks after the second dose—and the shot generated a detectable response in most people for at least eight weeks, the researchers said.
"However, antibody levels started to drop as early as three weeks after the booster shot, falling 4.9-fold for the original variant, 5.6-fold for delta and 5.4-fold for omicron between weeks three and eight."

Solar Inertial Motion:
The real reason for medium-long term climate change - Professor Of Physics & Mathematics at Northumbria University & solar physicist Valentina Zharkova.
Basically, the relative distance of the Sun to the Earth changes as the Sun's position, relative to the Earth's orbit, changes. It is not a perfect and unchanging orbit with a fixed Sun. You could even say that the Sun "moves" relative to the Earth.
The Sun is not a fixed point relative to the Earth's orbit as assumed in previous models. When the Sun gets closer, the temperature warns, when it moves further away, the temperature cools. It has always been like this. Nothing to do with carbon emissions whatsoever, which if at all only make an incredibly marginal difference.
(In astronomy, the barycentre is the center of mass of two or more bodies that orbit one another and is the point about which the bodies orbit.)

Psychiatrist Dr. Mark McDonald, On Wearing a Mask When You're Alone in the Car
"There has been a world-wide, societal, acute, sudden loss of rationality in the pursuit of, clinically speaking, a delusion, which is a fixed, false belief contrary to reality. An example of that would be - if I drive in a car by myself, I need to wear a mask to stay safe. That's a delusion, that's not being over protective, that's not being emotional, that is a trait of a mental illness, it's a sign of something gone awry in the code, a glitch in the head really, is what's going on."
