SOTT FOCUS: Wot's in the Shots?
Graphene oxide? Nanobots? What is in the Pfizer vaccines? Recently, Dr David Nixon, a Brisbane GP, decided to find out, putting droplets of vaccine and the blood of vaccinated patients under a dark-field microscope. That's a more radical decision than it might sound. According to Sasha Latypova, a scientist with 25 years of experience in clinical trials for pharmaceutical companies, the contract between Pfizer and the US government prohibits independent researchers from studying the vaccines. They claim it would 'divert' these precious resources away from their intended use fulfilling an 'urgent' need. Is that true in Australia? Who knows? All the Commonwealth Department of Health has said about its contract with Pfizer is that it is commercial-in-confidence.

Norwegian man now identifies as a disabled woman, uses wheelchair "almost all the time"
A man in Norway is sparking outrage on social media after he was sympathetically interviewed about his decision to begin identifying as a disabled woman. On October 28, Good Morning Norway (God Morgen Norge, GMN) aired an interview with Jørund Viktoria Alme, 53, an able-bodied male who now identifies as a disabled woman. In the interview, Alme stated that he had always wished he had been born a woman who was paralyzed from the waist down. Alme, a senior credit analyst for Handelsbanken in Oslo, has received positive coverage in Norwegian media since he first announced his trans-disability publicly on Facebook in 2020. He has given several interviews, often alongside his wife, Agnes Mjålseth. Despite having no physical handicaps, Alme currently utilizes a wheelchair "almost all the time."

FBI investigating suspicious powder mailed to Kari Lake's office
The FBI and local police are investigating suspicious packages that arrived at Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's Phoenix campaign offices on Saturday, containing mysterious white powder and hateful messages. According to a Daily Mail report, law enforcement officials were present at the offices from 10 pm to 5 am the next morning after Lake's team reported what they believe to be a "terroristic attack, trying to intimidate Kari and the campaign staff." A source familiar with the Republican's campaign told Daily Mail that "one of Kari's staffers opened up an envelope that had a suspicious white powder in it and had a letter in there with a bunch of vulgarities and ranting and raving about Kari."

NYT says Russian bots meddling in US midterms, because of course they are
The troll farm blamed for Donald Trump's electoral victory is back, according to US researchers. The Russian bots and trolls blamed for former president Donald Trump's 2016 election victory have reportedly returned to US social media platforms, ahead of next week's midterm elections. The New York Times claimed on Sunday that they are focusing their discord-sowing, disinfo-promoting attacks on alternative networks like Gab and Parler, citing researchers from Recorded Future, Mandiant and Graphika.

Homeland Security admits it tried to manufacture fake terrorists for Trump
A new Homeland Security report details orders to connect protesters arrested in Portland to one another in service of the Trump's imaginary antifa plot. The Department of Homeland Security launched a failed operation that ensnared hundreds, if not thousands, of U.S. protesters in what new documents show was as a sweeping, power-hungry effort before the 2020 election to bolster President Donald Trump's spurious claims about a "terrorist organization" he accused his Democratic rivals of supporting. An internal investigative report, made public this month by Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat of Oregon, details the findings of DHS lawyers concerning a previously undisclosed effort by Trump's acting secretary of homeland security, Chad Wolf, to amass secret dossiers on Americans in Portland attending anti-racism protests in summer 2020 sparked by the police murder of Minneapolis father George Floyd. Comment: "Minneapolis father" is how they've chosen to describe George Floyd. Not drug addict,...

MakerDAO co-founder found dead days after eerie tweets
In a shocking turn of events, Nicolai Arcadie Muchgian, the 29-year-old co-founder of MakerDAO has been found dead. His death has shocked the crypto space that has been witness to a series of tweets that Muchgian had made days before his death. The tweets which levied serious accusations against powerful organizations are now being analyzed following his death. MakerDAO Co-Founder Predicts Death Now, the tweets from Muchgian didn't just start a couple of days ago. There were actually spread out over a couple of months. Back in August when the first tweet has been made public, the MakerDAO co-founder had actually alleged that there were people after him. The reasoning behind this was that Muchgian was a threat to a "central banking cartel" which would point toward his work in crypto. This was the first time that Muchgian had referred to the possibility of him being harmed.

Ukraine bombed dam with American missiles - Kherson officials
The Ukrainian military fired US-made HIMARS missiles at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric dam in Kherson Region on Sunday, damaging one of the floodgates, emergency services have told RIA Novosti. Six projectiles targeted the structure at around 10am local time. Five were intercepted by Russian air defenses, but one made it through, a representative said. "The Armed Forces of Ukraine aren't giving up on their attempts to destroy the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station and create the circumstances for a humanitarian disaster," the statement explained. The local authorities later clarified that the missile had failed to cause critical damage. In recent weeks, Moscow has been blaming Kiev for attempting numerous attacks on the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric dam, which stands on the Dnieper River, upstream from the city of Kherson.

The Great Reset: A Perfect Storm
Storms come in many forms and may consist of many different constituent elements, but when all these elements combine at the same critical moment, we call it a "perfect storm." When such a storm is transposed analogically to the cultural, political, and economic realms, that is, when it seems to impact the entire social environment, we have no choice but to grasp its significance and prepare for its onset by taking protective measures. Such a storm is now upon us. All its elements clearly point to an orchestrated intention; in other words, it cannot be an accident. And the intention we discern in the current historical moment, the underlying plan, would appear to lay the ground for what has been called a "techno-totalitarian digital dark age," associated with the Club of Rome, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum, that is, what has come to be known as the Great Reset — the corporate takeover of property, health, currency, travel, energy, and sustenance.

Closest known black hole to Earth discovered after years-long hunt
The dormant black hole is named Gaia BH1 and is located about 1,600 light-years away Astronomers have reportedly discovered the closest-known black hole to Earth. BH1 was located about 1,600 light-years away in the constellation Ophiuchus, making it three times nearer to Earth than the previous record holder. The dormant black hole is about 10 times more massive than the sun, according to astronomers using the International Gemini Observatory. The observatory is operated by the National Science Foundation's NOIRLab. In a release, NOIRLab said this marked the first unambiguous detection of a dormant stellar-mass black hole in the Milky Way. There are an estimated 100 million stellar-mass black holes in the Milky Way alone, with nearly all of them active.

Russian sanctions is causing US diesel shortages, supplies won't recover until summer
Last week, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that distillate inventories were at their lowest levels since 2008. (The primary distillates are diesel, jet fuel ,and heating oil). However, in 2008 distillate levels were low coming out of spring. Currently, they are low going into fall. That's far worse than the situation in 2008. Distillate demand generally spikes in spring — when farmers are planting crops — and in fall, when they are harvesting those crops and people start buying fuel oil for winter. Thus, a low distillate inventory in late April 2008 isn't quite as serious as a low inventory in October 2022. In fact, distillate inventories haven't been this low in October since the EIA began reporting this data in 1982. These low distillate inventories are why diesel prices are above $5.00 a gallon nationwide, even though the nationwide average price for gasoline has dropped below $4.00 a gallon.
