One other inflection point, Shinzo Abe was Prime Minister until Sept 2020 and he promoted ivermectin as a treatment.

After they got him out of office, that stopped and within a couple months, they escaped normal for the first time. He was staging a comeback in 2022 when they killed him.

Ivermectin was NEVER approved for use against covid. Yes, he advocated it, but it was never approved against covid. They did not ban it but have since the beginning been recommending it is not used in the application. Many are believed to be acquiring it on their own but it is unknowable how many but the number would be going up, not down as the fear scaled up.

Ivermectin was invented/created by a Japanese scientist, why on earth would'nt they use it, it must he wrong. And recently there was a video circukating on youtube i think where some well known scientist or dr was enraged with the health dept inability to explain the excess deaths and to connect the dots with the mrna jabs...

Here is a link to the Japanese Government’s English Language webpage listing what it has approved for use against Covid. Ivermectin still is not on it and I have found no indication through searching in Japanese that it ever was.

Yes, there are a few doctors who are speaking out, but they are not on national TV. There are for the most part, unknown here in Japan. My medical students do not know of them.

Who cares if Ivermectin was approved or not?

Worse case scenario - it's totally ineffective, but it's not a dangerous drug at all. Nobody has OD'ed on it to the point of being killed by it. ONE woman in Africa tried to use Ivermectin to commit suicide. She had a very bad case of diarrhea.

I'm not saying you can't kill yourself taking Ivermectin, I'm just saying nobody has so far as I know.

Now the BEST case scenario is that it's a general anti-viral and there's quite a bit of evidence it is.

Who would trust the medical authorities now? The vaccines obviously don't work, they aren't safe, and they are entirely ineffective. They knew this before they made them available. IF we actually had a real pandemic, and IF the vaccines worked, they wouldn't have had to mandate them at all. They would have charged $1,000 a shot.

Don't you understand our medical industry? It's for profit. The only reason the shots had to be mandated, is nobody wanted them, and they were experimental, and dangerous. Have you EVER heard of a 10 year old kid dying of a heart attack or having a stroke prior to 2020? I never have. I hear it plenty now.

golly, i wonder why..

You need to read the whole thread. One of the arguments for Ivermectin is that it was being used in Japan and that is why the death toll here was so low, at the time. It had been widely reported that Japan used Ivermectin against covid, but simply is not true.

I am for the use of this drug against covid for the very reasons you state, but it does not help our cause when those “on our side” spread untruths.

We should care that Ivermectin has not been approved and dig in to the reasons why; though we already know, do we not. But there are many that do not, and hopefully (HA) showing them the evidence may sway a few (HA HAA).

Many countries in Africa use Ivermectin regularly to prevent parasitical infections. I never mentioned Japan. In most countries in Africa there was never an increase in sars-cov2-19 deaths. They had NO CHANGE, maybe that was because of Ivermectin, maybe it was because they weren't being given Remdesivir and put into a coma on a ventilator.

And you're mistaken I'm on some sort of "side". Here's what the last 3 years have done to me, I have walked out of it, concluding a good portion of humanity, isn't even human. They can't think, they can't reason, I always wondered who a society can go insane, now I know.

People I used to respect as intelligent people, I see as machines now. I have struggled all my life to understand people. I though they just didn't understand, I didn't explain it properly, they didn't have enough knowledge - no, they are fucking stupid.

I have given people the benefit of the doubt for DECADES, and that just ended. If you're too fucking stupid to realize you're being manipulated by constant repetition and you repeat what you hear on the television without irony - I don't want to deal with you anymore.

Who cares about approval of some asshole in "power"? Fuck them all, I'm done with them. Only shit rises to the top apparently. They're going to claim incompetence at the end of this, who knows how much damage has been done. It's just psychopaths getting idiots to do their dirty work. I don't want to deal with either - but I know they exist now. It's about 9 out 10 people are either are either a psychopath or an idiot.

You know, I can find a clip of Fauci saying that AZT was safe and effective. That was a chemotherapy drug withdrawn from the market because it killed so many people. It killed AIDs patients too.

I'm done talking sense to fools. It's 9 out 10 people.

What do you mean my comments are off the mark? I didn't say anything about you, I'm commenting on these cows and sheep that I previously thought would pass the Asch Conformity test and would recognize they were victims of the Milgram Experiment. I thought they were human beings.

The only sides there are, are incorrect, and correct.

I live in a society of dumb, stupid, sheeple. All that needs to be done, apparently, is to use the most basic, stupid, obvious propaganda. Just keep repeating the message over and over and over again. "Safe and effective" was one. "The vaccinated are at risk from the unvaccinated" for another. There's also "Russian collusion", and "Trump is a Putin Puppet", and "January 6th was an armed insurrection", and "weapons of mass destruction", and "Qaddafi is about to cause a humanitarian crisis" or "Assad is gassing his own people" and the latest "Putin invaded Ukraine for NO REASON at all!".

All that is done is the most STUPID propaganda possible. Just repeat it over and over and over on the propaganda box, and it's "the truth". No evidence needed, no justification needed, just lie. Very simple.

And this doesn't just work on "dumb" people. It works on 9 out of 10 people, regardless of "education". I know PhDs that repeat this bullshit, I know MIT graduates that repeat this bullshit. I'm tired of it.

No amount explaining, no Socratic method, no method works. These "people" aren't people.

If, for example, I point out that Victoria Nuland was caught in a telephone conversation with Geoffrey Pyatt picking out the next government (US puppet government) of Ukraine, on or before February 4th, 2014 - that's apparently not proof there was a coup in Ukraine.

Here's the audio:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSxaa-67yGM

You can check the date is Feb 4, 2014.

Here's the transcript https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957 in which Nuland decides that Arseniy Yatseniuk was going to be the next leader. The only problem is that Viktor Yanukovych left office on Feb 22, 2014 - that was 2 weeks and 4 days AFTER Nuland was picking the next prime minister of Ukraine, correctly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Yanukovych

Which led to a civil war in Ukraine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Donbas_(2014%E2%80%932022)

Even wikipedia recorded it, starting in about June. You can check the article's history. It was even reported by CNN:

https://www.cnn.com/2014/09/02/world/europe/ukraine-crisis/index.html

I give up on people. I am not longer going to treat most of them as sentient, they are machines, I give up. They're stupid, subhuman garbage that would be shoveling Jewish people into ovens if the the propaganda box told them to do it.

And they would.

We have a criminal president who openly engages in bribes now, who probably wasn't elected. You see, 25.5 million NEW voters showed up (miraculously) in 2020, to supposedly vote. That's 7% of the entire US population, and about 12% of the eligible voting population. Greatest turn out in history by percentage of eligible voters and just Americans, all of American history. Greatest number of new voters as a percentage of the population in all of US history. Most popular presidential candidate ever, who got Viktor Shokin fired because he was accepting bribes from Burisma through his crack whore slut son who SOMEHOW got a job on the BOD of a Ukrainian energy company. Hunter worked for a company on the BOD of a Ukrainian company, where he couldn't speak the language, and had NO experience in the energy market.

I wonder why they hired him? Nobody else does..

I can't explain even that to people. People aren't people. Some are, about 10%.

We have a group of mindless thugs in power, that only follow orders, have indemnity from prosecution because "they were only following orders", and 2/3rds of the population got injected with an experimental "vaccine" that the pharmaceutical companies have been working on for 30 years without any success, and yet 4 found the solution all at the same time, for a disease that has a 99.8% survival rate across the entire population.

We all needed to get an experimental vaccine for that. You know what the mortality rate was for smallpox? If you got it, you had a 3 in 10 chance of dying. But the WHO just changes definitions, and the drones accept it, the look at me in disbelief that I don't. I mean, 300,000 people died in 2020!!! Out of a country of 330,000,000 people. Oh goodness! I must wet my knickers!!

Does anybody remember the scramble for "ventilators"? Which we never needed. The retracted Lancet article on Hydroxychloroquine? No. You know, they actually purposely overdosed people on that drug to kill them to prove it wouldn't work. Anybody punished? No. Anybody bother to look up the LD-50 of that drug before they killed them? No. Anybody whisteblow? No.

The "people" will just believe the next stupid fucking lie, I'll be dragged along with the herd, who cares? Can't reason with them, can't talk to them, can't tolerate them anymore.

I'm simply pointing out that if the government mandated we take crystal meth to improve productivity, at least 2/3rds of the population would do, and think NOTHING about it. "What? Don't you want to go along to get along?" - they could prescribe Drano and they'd do it and scream about what a paranoid nutcase when I think twice about it or ask them to.

People have the memory of a gnat is what I discovered. Experience, knowledge, memory - it doesn't mean a thing, It just makes existence miserable. It's no wonder the people that run this world have such utter contempt for the public, and I'm starting to have it too.

I don't care if Ivermectin is approved or not. If I think it would be useful to me, I'll take it. I don't care if mandates are enforced or not, I'll just fake the vaccine card, I know they aren't checked. I don't care if there's a requirement for my job, I'll just lie. There's no value in honesty, there's no value in trying to reason with people or help them, because they aren't people.

Let me give you a little test. The US has bombed 7 nations in the last 20 years. Do you know what nations they are? Do you know why? Do you know how many people have been killed in these conflict? Seems like you'd know in a representative democracy with a free press.

Well: We're not a representative democracy, we're in an oligarchical dictatorship using the Frankfurt School of social theory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_School

And we don't have a free press. We have propaganda, and nothing else.

I'm an engineer, but I have a good liberal education. Nobody else does and you don't really need it. I find I can talk to a mechanic or a baker more easily than I can talk to a colleague.

Not completely clear he actually died. Lots of inconsistencies, and a staged assasination is interesting to consider.

Otherwise its a very professional hit in a place with tall buildings that has nothing to do with a chucklehead with homemade shotgun which managed to miss all bystanders in the first missed shot.

Several things. I don’t have good references though

No blood on scene from a homemade shotgun

Homemade shotgun fired twice, missing first shot but apparently missing also all bystanders

Confusing inconsistencies from autopsy vs positioning of Abe. Maybe downward bullet trajectory

Completely inept security for a former prime minister

Why he even was in an unprotected area in Nagoya from last minute schedule change

Why his wife and seems to have closed up shop,and suddenly decided to move “home” where … I think he’s from but she never lived… Not quite clear on that one actually…

Have we heard anything about the killer? Will there be a trial? Asahara trial was fairly public I thought — what about this guy?

Expand full comment

As a homemade shotgun, we can not assume wounds would be similar to the shotguns we would have in the States, or are even available here in Japan for those licensed. It could have been similar to the buck and ball rounds used by smooth bore muskets in the US civil war.

The reports I have read state that the first attempt misfired, not that he fired and missed.

Japan is the “safety country” where guns are very strictly controlled. Their security is lax be default. Exceptions of course, when they go way way way overboard, like when the US president visits.

Have not read nor heard anything about what his wide has done but people often do not react reactionary to the sudden death of a spouse, if there is such a thing as a rational response to such an event.

We have heard about the killer. The Japan Times gives updates on the case. The latest I recall was a week or so ago and was on whether he was competent to stand trial. There has been A LOT going on with the church his mother belonged to with politicians being forced to disclose their ties to it. There was quite a bit reported in the earlier days on who the killer is and his motivation and his familiy’s membership in the church, how much his mother donated to it etc.

They did not hold off all that long. I lost my biggest employer at the first of March 2020.

I can assure you that the elite in Japan have not taken the jabs. Someone I am very close to told me that they attended a social event for industry leaders and none of the folks there or their families had taken part.

Most Japanese are simple. They work hard. They are focused on their craft and they stay in their lanes. Questioning others is not really done. Most have some idea about side effects, but think they are blown out of proportion.

I try to point out to my students the exact thing these graphs show. The virus was never what it was purported to be. The treatment was wholly inappropriate. The masking is stupid, but they persist. As long as they can get a discount on their hotel or bus ride to Tokyo.

So, yeah. It feels like a sinking ship. But, as you said. It's an armada chained together in the middle of a typhoon.

No. There is a history of just this very thing on other issues. They will believe or act such that you will believe they do, that they must have made some error in their experiment.

Expand full comment

Ignored my ass. Not a mother Fauci thing was allowed open starting March 2020 through most of the rest of the year. They thought they could contain it if we all “Just Stay Home” so that the olympics could be held. My wife had been into her office only 3 time since the beginning of Feb. 2020 the first of which was to get her first clot shot in the summer of 2021. The second time was for the second shot. Numbers 4 and 5 have been within the past 6 months. When allowed to reopen, restaurants had to operate under reduced opening hours and reduced capacity. The opening hours have since been allowed to return to normal but the reduced capacity remains, in part because it costs to much to rip out and dispose of the barriers between customers and in part because many customers have come to prefer them. Many many many businesses have gone and are still going under. Rare is the independent operator restaurant or bar that my wife and went to before the panic that is still in business. The last one close at the end of February this year. He was not allowed to open for over 2 years out of the last three.

This was true before the panic, most news on Japan is garbage, it is written either by their tourism board or those who are blind to anything that may be off about the place, you know the types, those whom believe masks work to stop the virus. Japan is no better than anywhere else, that statement gets me branded a “Japan basher”.

Hiya,

deaths do need to be age adjusted because in an ageing population the death rate would just keep going up whatever you did. However the figures that I can find is that the death rate in Oz has gone down from 2021 to 2022.

The population in Oz in 2021 was 25,422,788 and there were 171,469 deaths; a rate of 0.674%.

The population in 2022 was 26,124,814 (up to 30th September) (a 2.76% increase) and there were 174,717 deaths up to 30th November and registered by January 2023; a death rate 0.668%.

A decrease of 0.006%.

2020 excess deaths were about 0.08% (relative to the population) higher compared to the low year of 2020 but the age adjusted death rated for non-indigenous Australians has been falling for years before this. https://georgiedonny.substack.com/p/excess-mortality-what-does-it-show

Expand full comment

https://vicparkpetition.substack.com/p/why-did-so-many-australians-die-in

People aren't just "aging suddenly" (as in excess deaths jumping double digits above background in a month) and these excess deaths are occurring across all age groups, especially 0-44.

But also, I think the numbers you present are too crude to give much information about what is really happening relative to the population size, which is a large number and unreliable.

Death rates are too small to show anything useful which is why no one uses them, although guaranteed the government will start using them to minimise vaccine deaths so I thank you for bringing this tactic to everyone's attention.

I agree - they also export 'dumb' overseas - my local Japanese School (mostly attended by mixed Japanese-British kids, so this is being enforced largely by people married to local Brits) - was masked up until this Autumn, months and months after local government stopped 'recommending' it and locals stopped wearing it. Apparently the argument being put forward was, they cannot be the source of contagion, since they are only renting the school space (it's only run on Saturdays in a local high school). Someone asked, how would anyone know where the 'source of the contagion' is when it's everywhere? And apparently the answer was, again, 'we just cannot be the source of contagion'. A v rare unvaxxed Japanese friend whose child attends there was questioned in 2021 about vax status by one of the other parents (in a supposedly a friendly chat - well initially anyway) and when she said she wasn't, the woman asked v aggressively, why, and when the friend answered, because it's not been tested properly, the woman aggressively said, oh so you're going to let everyone else be the guinea pigs, that's v community minded of you. My unvaxxed family and friends in Japan (surprisingly, there are some) are facing ridiculous level of pressure to conform and vax (therefore masking was the least they could do, kind of situation). Things are not good in Japan - the country's baseline is OCD germphobic anyway, and then there's the whole 'douchou aturyoku' translates to 'pressure to conform' which is kinda massive over there - it was bad here during covid for sure, but whatever is happening in US/UK, think times a thousand. So I totally commend those in Japan who have resisted and not conformed - it took some guts to live through that level of pressure unvaxxed and unmasked.

In Japan people are dying immediately after vaccination, and Japan is flooded with people suffering from vaccine injuries. Under the circumstances, it is reasonable to assume that the unusual excess deaths currently occurring are caused by the vaccine.

It is truly amazing how “scientists” and “healthcare professionals” will bend data into interpretative pretzels to avoid discussing spikes of deaths (or maimings) post-vax. They are either too scared of or too beholden to pharma (and government) to even suggest vaccines as a cause. That there is no scientific interest in investigating vaccines as causative agents in these spikes is reprehensible.

Their "explanations" are not really a surprise, as these are the same sorts of spurious explanations that are being rolled out everywhere else. Here in Australia, with excess mortality that cannot be denied at this point, they are still trying to explain it away as "long covid", or "covid after-effects" or failure to get medical diagnosis & treatment because the hospitals were overloaded or we were locked down.

In Australia - because most of the country was isolated, internationally and interstate too - it is pretty hard to explain away the excess deaths in 2021 when there was hardly any covid - especially in the states with ongoing hard lockdowns, i.e. South Australia and Western Australia.

But they are still all singing from the same songbook.

Perhaps flattery and appealing to their sense of national pride would work. (Of course flattery and appealing to senses of pride can backfire or go awry.)

Perhaps the following would work:

1. Japan has a great culture of competence and innovation. Japan is clean, safe, and beautiful...

2. Covid is a foreign virus.

3. mRNA vactines (as Biden calls them) are defective foreign technology.

4. Almost every country has been victimized by 3 and 2, even the countries where those things originated. More advanced nations have been more victimized, in general.

5. Due to 2-4 there's no shame in feeling that grave mistakes have been made by Japanese leadership.

6. Because of 1-5, there's reason and ability to take an independent look at the data and apply the scientific method and epidemiological best practices the Japanese way.

Good stuff, Joel.

As a former newspaperman I continue to find the British media the great canary in our coalmine.

There are huge stories lying around, glinting like diamonds in the dirt, and the hacks just walk by, averting their eyes.

I know why, obviously; what I can't understand is why more of them aren't breaking ranks. In my day (1990s, mostly) we on the nationals were a rambunctious and rebellious crowd.

Pferfect analysis :-)

Can you / are you looking into their data for births? I suspect that overlaying deaths and births will amplify the problem.

I hear they have a birth problem too (ongoing for a long time) but it's not my focus and I don't have the data.

Yeah, longstanding decline in population growth. No doubt recently exacerbated by the impact the jab may be having on number of miscarriages and stillborns etc

Births are done yet again but I think I just read that they are the lowest on record.

And deaths are double the record low births. Population freefall.

Indeed, and they used to be so smart too. What the hell happened to Japan?

At this point, the House of the Rising Sun is looking much higher on my bucket list than the Land of the Rising Sun, lol.

Smart at what? Group think and acting like sheep is what they as a people are best at. Individually, they are different but once another JN is within hailing distance, baa baa baa.

'Dumb in Japan' as in the song "Big in..." perhaps? Great analysis. Thankyou.
