Empire, Mortality, and the Multi-Pronged Attack on Humanity
Dr. Denis Rancourt's journey from tenured physics professor to
pandemic data analyst represents one of the most remarkable intellectual
transformations of the COVID era. His 2019 geopolitical study had
already established him as someone willing to follow evidence wherever
it led, revealing how empire creates and deploys global narratives
around climate, gender, and race as instruments of control. When
governments worldwide declared a pandemic in March 2020, Rancourt
brought the same rigorous scrutiny to mortality data that he'd
previously applied to condensed matter physics and environmental
science. What he found challenged everything we were told: no excess
deaths anywhere before the WHO's March 11 declaration, synchronized
mortality spikes that defied viral spread patterns, and death rates that
correlated not with international travel or population density, but
with specific medical interventions and institutional responses.
The
numbers Rancourt uncovered tell a story of institutional catastrophe
rather than viral pandemic. His analysis of 125 countries revealed that
30% showed no excess mortality in 2020 until vaccines were introduced.
The geographic patterns defied all epidemiological logic: the virus that
supposedly killed 1.3 million Americans couldn't cross the Canadian
border despite continuous economic exchange; Milan's region experienced
death rates 18 times higher than Rome's despite Rome receiving more
flights from China; wealthy Germany had minimal excess mortality while
adjacent regions in France and Belgium were devastated. Most damning, he
documented mortality rates of 88% for ventilated patients in New York
hospitals and vaccine dose fatality rates that increased exponentially
with age, reaching one death per 100 injections in those over 80. These
weren't the patterns of a spreading respiratory disease but of
systematic iatrogenic harm concentrated in specific locations that
implemented aggressive treatment protocols.
Rancourt's alternative
explanation fundamentally reframes our understanding of what happened
during 2020-2023. Rather than a viral pandemic, he proposes that the
excess mortality resulted from "transmissionless bacterial pneumonias"
triggered by unprecedented biological stress from lockdowns, social
isolation, and fear campaigns, combined with deadly medical protocols.
The human respiratory microbiome, he argues, can spiral out of balance
under extreme stress, making people vulnerable to pneumonia from their
own bacteria without any transmission required. This explains why deaths
correlated with poverty levels near large hospitals but not in equally
poor areas without aggressive medical infrastructure, why mortality
peaks synchronized with policy announcements rather than following
disease spread patterns, and why the demographic correlations shifted
completely between spring and summer 2020. His estimate of 31 million
excess deaths globally through 2022 represents not victims of a virus,
but casualties of what he calls "a multi-pronged state and iatrogenic
attack on populations."
This September 2025 interview arrives at a
perfect moment for those of us who have been in Rancourt's slipstream
for the past few years. His 2019 geopolitical study was like a
sledgehammer to my brain - it cracked it open and for the first time I
could see empire with clarity, understand how it creates meta-narratives
that alter our perception of reality. When March 2020 arrived, I and
many others would have been completely lost without Rancourt's searing
insight and guidance. While the world descended into orchestrated
madness, he provided the data, the analysis, the proof that we weren't
going insane - that the patterns defied viral logic, that the deaths
were real but the pandemic wasn't. I am incredibly grateful for the time
and effort he put into these answers, for his willingness to keep
fighting this fight when it would have been easier to stay silent. His
work documenting how 31 million people died from institutional assault
rather than any virus has been nothing short of essential. For those of
us trying to make sense of what we lived through, Rancourt didn't just
analyze data - he provided a lifeline to sanity, a framework for
understanding how policy became the pathogen and protocols became the
plague.
With thanks and gratitude to Dr.
.My
PhD (1984) was in condensed matter physics, from the University of
Toronto. I was 27 years old. Following two years of post-doctoral
research in European laboratories (France and The Netherlands), I became
a nationally funded lead researcher and university professor at the
University of Ottawa in Canada. My research laboratory was continuously
well funded through competitive awards, and I taught more than 2000
students in my 23 years at this institution. I was promoted quickly to
attain the highest academic rank of tenured Full Professor. I have given
many invited and keynote talks at international conferences, in several
different areas of science. I have made discoveries and co-discoveries
in magnetism, measurement science, metals physics, crystal-chemistry of
rock-forming and environmental minerals, soil science, aquatic sediments
and nutrients, planetary science (meteorites), climate science, theory
of health, politics, and epidemiology. A recent CV is linked on my website.
I have always been interdisciplinary and outspoken. I was fired by the University of Ottawa in 2009 for a conflict with the upper administration over academic freedom.
Following my dismissal, the university entirely funded a million-dollar
personal defamation lawsuit against me. After a decade of litigation
and support from my union, and pursuant to an open letter and petition signed by several academics (19 March 2018), a global mutual agreement resolving all my issues with the university was signed in January 2019.
I
acquired extensive direct experience about the high degree to which
Western professionals and institutions are corrupt. I have recognized
for decades that this is a rapidly increasing trend in Canada. In 2009 I
wrote an overview article for a sociology journal: “Canadian Education as an Impetus towards Fascism”. Much of this and more is discussed in my 2012 book of essays: “Hierarchy and Free Expression in the Fight Against Racism”. Many of my essays are also at Dissident Voice.
During
my conflict with the University of Ottawa, and prior to my dismissal,
the upper administration hired a high-ranking clinical and court
psychiatrist to secretly write an opinion that stated that I was
dangerous. I only learned of the psychiatric opinion years later during
legal disclosures. As a self-represented litigant, I eventually won
legal disclosure of the psychiatrist’s opinion, and then initiated
professional-ethics litigation against the Montreal-based psychiatrist.
It took years of endless tribunal and court hearings, fighting a major
law firm, for me to win a disciplinary sentence against the psychiatrist, which was upheld in an appeal decision dated 10 September 2024. That was a rewarding saga, somewhat covered in French-language mainstream media in Quebec, largely occurring during Covid.
I
diverge. I have never stopped being an independent thinker since I was
an infant. I remember inventing the knot from the first step in the
shoelace bow that I was learning. My mother was not impressed despite my
explanations. All of elementary school was extreme boredom except for
the occasional intervening parent with a passion. Hearing about atoms,
molecules and cells was a universe. I took shop in high school to avoid
history and memory work. Loved it, including welding and machining. I
could not remember so-called facts but I could figure out anything from
fundamental principles. Teachers always regretted asking if anyone had
questions. I won junior Chess champion at my high school, on pure talent
without any theory or memory.
I could never do a job without
finding a contradiction leading me to define a new direction, from
spectroscopy, to solitons, to nanoparticles, to psychology and politics.
My path was populated with burgeoning new enemies everywhere, which is
one reason I kept changing fields. I was a member of research institutes
for both physics and earth sciences, and I taught scientific methods to
graduate students from all the science and engineering departments in
two faculties. (As an aside, my dean once barred me from supervising a
willing scholarship student in climate science and told the university
president I should not be allowed to work in that field.)
For
me, questioning and disbelieving the latest propaganda of a global
threat―which was the declared Covid pandemic―was not a choice I made.
Rather, it was my nature. My commitment to noisily resisting became
unavoidable as government hysterics became stratospheric. I never
believed a word, never wore a face mask (except one time when my wife
wanted something for a special event and it could not conveniently be
purchased otherwise - the experience doubled my anger), and I was never
vaccinated. My first written reports to governments and institutions were made in April 2020, with the Ontario Civil Liberties Association. Eventually, I made my own website to fight the censorship, and co-founded CORRELATION Research in the Public Interest.
I was banned from several venues, including Research Gate and LinkedIn.
I was frustratingly censored on YouTube and Facebook, with much content
removed.
My
very first thought was that a pandemic had to have many deaths, whereas
there were no dead bodies in the streets. I also knew no one who had
been given emergency care and a social activist friend of mine was
finding and filming empty hospitals throughout Ottawa. I needed
all-cause mortality data.
I was inspired by the early matter-of-fact video interviews and early paper
of the NY-based German epidemiologist Knut Wittkowski. I have a few
German beer-drinking scientist friends and I generally love those guys.
Wittkowski stressed from classic contagion theory and using available
reports that lockdowns and school closures could only make things worse
and would put the elderly in more danger (our own later theoretical calculations
amply confirmed this, assuming correctness of the accepted theory).
Among other things, Wittkowski went straight to available mortality
data. That got me excited that there was hard data available, as opposed
to the PCR garbage and so on. Wittkowski spoke from broad experience.
He did not see the data the same way that I came to understand it but
his public communications showed its potential and the traditional
interpretive framework without political bias. I got right into it. That
led to my June 2020 paper.
Other early confirmations for me notably included the famous 2020 home-garage video statement of Mike Yeadon, some 2020 preprints of John Ioannidis, and an early 2021 video statement by Professor Sucharit Bhakdi.
I had also by this time made several commentary videos and video interviews on YouTube, see: “COVID-19 with Denis Rancourt”
(playlist, >100 videos). I wanted my science background and critical
perspective to be of immediate use during the excessive government
propaganda.
The early all-cause mortality data available at
the time of my June 2020 paper, for Europe and the USA, showed
remarkable features that I highlighted in graphs and text:
No excess mortality occurred anywhere prior to the 11 March 2020 WHO declaration of a pandemic.
A
peak of abnormally large mortality surged immediately following the WHO
declaration of a pandemic in various jurisdictions but not anywhere
else.
The peaks of abnormally large mortality, where they occurred, were synchronous across two continents.
The magnitudes of whole-population (all-ages) mortality were not particularly alarming in themselves, except for New York City.
It
seemed impossible to me that this spatiotemporal phenomenon could be
due to the spontaneous spread of a dangerous new pathogen that had
originated from some place in China, and why would the supposed new
pathogen follow the 11 March 2020 political pronouncement made by the
WHO? In addition, the jurisdictions of large excess mortality peaks had
many reports of government and medical assaults against
institutionalized frail and elderly persons. These points, together,
made me conclude the way I did: “No plague and a likely signature of
mass homicide by government response”.
All the work
my collaborators and I did in the following several years has
consistently corroborated my June 2020 conclusion. In particular, an
industry of theoretical epidemiology has arisen to argue that the
spatiotemporal patterns of excess mortality arise from contagion theory
for a respiratory virus, but in June 2025 we rigorously demonstrated that the empirical all-cause mortality data is inconsistent with these flawed creative adventures in theoretical epidemiology.
In
the great majority of deaths, assigning a cause of death is necessarily
arbitrary and subject to political, professional and institutional
bias. This is not controversial. It is a well-known problem. The said
problem is unavoidable because of the very nature of death itself, which
is a complex and cooperative system failure involving a multitude of
damaged components. Even the said damaged components themselves are not
easily characterized. On the other hand, recognizing the occurrence of a
death, irrespective of any presumed cause, is straightforward. This is
why counting a death (at a time and place, of a person with a given age
and sex), like counting a live birth, gives the most reliable population
data one can have. (As an aside, a collaborator and I are working on a
“theory of death and aging” that I am rather excited about, which is
another story.)
This all-cause mortality can be counted with high
temporal resolution, such as by day, thus allowing sudden mortality
events to be detected, including summer heat waves, large transportation
accidents, earthquakes, engineering failures, and the like; with high
spatial resolution, down to neighbourhoods and institutions; with high
resolution by age of the deceased; by socio-economic status; and by
health status, such as vaccination status and presence of diagnosed
chronic diseases. As such, all-cause mortality, thus resolved, is an
extraordinarily powerful database.
Furthermore, the recording of
all-cause mortality is considered of national interest, and is most
often required and standardized by law, in virtually all developed
countries, for all sub-national jurisdictions. The largest failure in
this regard is most of Africa. An additional frustration for researchers
is lack of efficient proactive transparency and incomplete disclosure.
Rare administrative artefacts are easy to spot (such as late
registration of deaths during holidays). We have found no reason to
think that state-reported all-cause mortality data is biased or
manipulated. Quite to the contrary, we generally find a high degree of
consistency, and excess-mortality events that match reports of known
catastrophes.
The large patterns of excess all-cause mortality that surprised me are many. They include the following:
The virtual absence of any excess mortality, anywhere in the world, prior to the 11 March 2020 WHO declaration of a pandemic
The sudden surges in mortality that occur on cue immediately following the 11 March 2020 WHO declaration of a pandemic
The
extreme geographical (jurisdictional) heterogeneity of excess
mortality, compared to the historic pre-Covid-period trends, including
within given countries (between states, provinces and counties), and
including between cities with virtually identical circumstances
(socio-economic, airports, cultural, etc.)
The large
number of countries and sub-national regions that had no detectable
excess all-cause mortality in 2020 and until vaccination was introduced
The
large relative (P-score) mortality in all age groups in many
jurisdictions during the Covid period (2020-2022) and up to the present
The
large persistent (post-Covid-years, into 2024 and 2025) excess
mortalities in many Western countries, compared to well-established
historic pre-Covid-period trends
Remarkable
correlations in time between well-defined peaks of excess mortality and
rapid rollouts of vaccines, especially booster doses mainly given to
elderly populations, in several jurisdictions (India, Australia, Israel, several countries in the Southern Hemisphere, 23 of 87 countries around the world with sufficient data, and many sub-national regions)
A
large East-West divide of mortality patterns in Eastern European vs
Western European countries, and a large North-South (Canada-USA-Mexico)
gradient of mortality behaviours in North America
For
several countries in the world, the largest annual excess mortality was
in 2022, following virtual completion (in 2021) of vaccine rollouts
That
is correct, why would excess mortality occur only with vaccine rollouts
in so many countries? It appears the assaults that accompanied vaccine
rollouts were deadly.
Establishment theoretical
epidemiologists, who accept the standard contagion model of viral
respiratory diseases, have to bend themselves into pretzels to
rationalize the geotemporal patterns of excess mortality (all-cause or
assigned-cause). Recently, we broke the pretzel by showing that the patterns of mortality are incompatible with and disprove the leading contagion and global spread calculations.
The
theory shows that, if we believe the model, then viral respiratory
epidemics surge in a given population and are over within a few months.
If the presumed virulent new pathogen is spreading around the globe via
airport traffic, then there have to be corresponding epidemic busts that
cannot be virtually synchronous on the planet and that cannot be absent
in much of the global network of large airport hubs. The model is
either consistent with the observed geotemporal mortality pattern or it
must be abandoned. Unjustified theoretical patches and bootstrapping are
not allowed.
In my view, the paradigm of viral respiratory
pandemics must be abandoned, and it should be understood as the control
and profit-driven scam that it has become.
Deadly
respiratory conditions are complex, and pandemics of respiratory deaths
can be induced via biological stress by coordinated assaults against
populations. Covid has been a global experiment in the effects of such
assaults, and analysis corroborates my point. I discussed the
biological-stress mechanism for a global pandemic in a recent paper: “Medical Hypothesis: Respiratory epidemics and pandemics without viral transmission”.
Let
me first shock many of your readers with the opening statement that the
striking temporal associations―that we have documented―between large
sharp peaks in excess all-cause mortality and rapid vaccine rollouts
(especially booster rollouts) are not directly due to vaccine toxicity itself. I will explain below in answer to this question how I have come to this conclusion.
This
is not to say that the vaccines are not fatally toxic for many
individuals and circumstances. Significant fatal COVID-19 vaccine
toxicity is proven beyond a doubt by adverse-effect vigilance data,
disclosed clinical trial data, many published clinical case studies and
many forensic autopsies, not to mention thousands of scientific papers
on the injurious adverse effects of the vaccines, as we have emphasized
in several of our reports (e.g., section “6.1 COVID-19 vaccines can
cause death”, here).
However,
in rigorous all-cause mortality studies, we must distinguish “many
vaccine-toxicity deaths” and “sufficient vaccine-toxicity deaths to
directly produce large excess all-cause mortality peaks”.
My
first firm realization that the vaccine rollouts could be causing
massive excess mortality in many countries came in my 6 December 2022
paper entitled: “Probable causal association between India’s extraordinary April-July 2021 excess-mortality event and the vaccine rollout”.
The paper is well worth reading even today, and reported a calculated
fatal toxicity rate of 1% per injection in rural and urban India. Robert
F. Kennedy, Jr. interviewed me about these findings on 8 December 2022.
Following
this, our first report of strong temporal associations between large
sharp peaks in excess all-cause mortality and rapid vaccine booster
rollouts was for Australia and its states. This was our 20 December 2022
paper entitled: “Probable causal association between Australia’s new regime of high all-cause mortality and its COVID-19 vaccine rollout”. The said association corresponded to a calculated fatal toxicity rate of 0.05% per injection.
In
our next paper (9 February 2023), we showed that the remarkable large
sharp peaks in excess all‑cause mortality essentially synchronous with
successive rapid vaccine booster rollouts were stratified by age, with
apparent fatal toxicity increasing exponentially with age: “Age-stratified COVID‑19 vaccine-dose fatality rate for Israel and Australia”.
We
also estimated that a representative all-ages global value of the
calculated fatal toxicity rate would be 0.1% per injection. For 13.25
billion injections up to 24 January 2023, this corresponded to
approximately 13 million calculated vaccine deaths worldwide up to 24
January 2023. In this way, the 9 February 2023 paper gave our first
estimate of global mortality associated with the COVID-19 vaccine
rollouts.
The methodology is simple. One first estimates a
calculated fatal toxicity rate per injection, based on observed
associations between excesses of all-cause mortality and vaccine
rollouts, and one then multiplies this rate with the number of vaccine
doses administered. There is always the potential that even a strong
association in the time series of excess death and of vaccine rollout is
not due to vaccine toxicity itself but instead results from a
death-causing intervention that accompanies vaccine rollout.
Next
(17 September 2023), using the same basic methodology, we studied 17
countries in the Southern Hemisphere and Equatorial Region, having
sufficient data: “COVID-19 vaccine-associated mortality in the Southern Hemisphere”.
The advantage with the Southern Hemisphere is that the booster rollouts
do not coincide with seasons of naturally higher mortality, which is a
difficulty in Northern Hemisphere countries. This is the paper in which
we first reported the now prominent estimation of 17 million vaccine
deaths worldwide. I presented our findings
at an international conference in Romania on 18 November 2023. A
conference participant (Bret Weinstein) then described our result in a
Tucker Carlson interview, and the “fact-checking” industry went wild.
The 17 million number became part of the general culture; the stuff of
memes.
We followed this up (19 July 2024) with our 521-page in-depth report on 125 countries: “Spatiotemporal
variation of excess all-cause mortality in the world (125 countries)
during the Covid period 2020-2023 regarding socio economic factors and
public-health and medical interventions”. I believe this is a
landmark paper that everyone should study. We argued why the viral
respiratory spread paradigm should be abandoned, and we discussed causes
of death in depth. In the big picture, we found that the overall excess
all-cause mortality rate in the 93 countries with sufficient data in
the 3-year period 2020-2022 is 0.392 ± 0.002 % of 2021 population, which
corresponds to 30.9 ± 0.2 million excess deaths projected to have
occurred globally for the 3-year period 2020-2022, from all causes of
excess mortality during this period.
This means that up to
the end of 2022, 31 million excess deaths were caused globally by the
government, corporate and professional establishment coordinated
assaults against people. Three main categories of primary cause of death
that we identified are:
Biological (including psychological) stress from mandates such as lockdowns and associated socio-economic structural changes
Non-COVID-19-vaccine
medical interventions such as mechanical ventilators and drugs
(including denial of treatment with antibiotics)
COVID-19 vaccine injection rollouts, including repeated rollouts on the same populations
The
last point includes the large disruptions (testing, confinement,
so-called treatments, denial of normal care, etc.) that accompany rapid
military-style rollouts of the vaccines in institutions with frail and
elderly individuals.
On
the one hand, we have demonstrated in several papers that Covid was not
a contagious spread of a viral respiratory disease. On the other hand,
clearly discerned peaks in excess all-cause mortality often (although
there are many exceptions) quantitatively correspond to mortality that
is officially assigned to a respiratory condition (COVID-19). We first
showed this quantitative agreement for the USA in our 25 October 2021
report: “Nature of the COVID-era public health disaster in the USA, from all-cause mortality and socio-geo-economic and climatic data”.
Meanwhile, in the government data itself that we used half of the
assigned COVID-19 deaths are associated with concomitant bacterial
pneumonia, based on reported death certificates, and antibiotic
treatment was being shunned, as we showed.
In a given peak
of excess all-cause mortality, if the deaths did not occur by spreading
the presumed new respiratory virus, yet were clinically recorded as
associated with serious respiratory conditions, then the respiratory
conditions had to have arisen otherwise and in the same time period
within the excess mortality peak.
Well, as it turns out, the
scientific literature is full of descriptions of transmissionless
self-infection pneumonias induced by stressful circumstances in frail or
elderly individuals. If the said stressful circumstances are suddenly
systemically imposed, in bursts, then there will result peaks in excess
mortality.
I described this mechanism of transmissionless self-infection pneumonias in some detail on 2 December 2024: “Medical Hypothesis: Respiratory Epidemics and Pandemics Without Viral Transmission”.
Basically,
the human body is home to three main microbiomes, or large complex
changing communities of microorganisms, living in the digestive tract,
in the respiratory tract, and on the skin. These microbiomes and their
dynamic balance are essential to life and to health in general.
Virtually every known and unknown animal-environment microorganism is
present in our bodies, and the populations of microorganisms cooperate
and compete for turf and resources. These dynamic balances can be
significantly impacted by experienced circumstances, including stress,
injury, diet, social isolation, drugs, environmental toxins, etc., and
are perturbed more frequently and more easily with age.
To understand the process, there are many examples with ecological biomes (e.g., which I have studied),
such as a sudden loading of nutrients in a lake, which gives toxic
algae a competitive advantage, leading to deadly algal blooms that kill
plankton and thus fatally disrupt the food web. By comparison, the study
of human microbiomes is relatively new and is a vigorously growing
field of medical research.
So, we have everything needed to
make us sick from the inside (i.e., we “get” sick), in response to
imposed conditions. We don’t need spreading invisible novel pathogens
for that. The three main microbiomes (lungs, gut, skin) are known to
have strong and demonstrated responses to experienced stress.
Consequently,
for example, respiratory symptoms may be the best proverbial canary in
the coal mine for detecting individual stress. As noted by a colleague, I have suggested that there is an evolutionary advantage to this sensitivity, but again I diverge.
Basically,
if establishment forces massively disrupt society in ways that increase
biological (including psychological) stress, especially among the frail
and elderly, then there will always be a corresponding “pandemic” of
excess deaths, associated with symptoms of reacting microbiomes,
especially visible respiratory difficulties. I have come to believe this
was Covid. All our many analyses of data are consistent with this idea.
There was no viral pandemic.
The
assaults, in waves, included: mandates, measures (masks, distancing…),
continuous propaganda, unpredictable changes in imposed measures,
lockdowns, closures (services, work, school, religion, leisure), travel
restrictions, testing, diagnostic bias, confinement, denial of treatment
(especially antibiotics for pneumonia), denial of usual care,
mechanical ventilation, sedation, experimental and improper treatments,
persecution and public mobbing of dissenters, and vaccination.
The resulting excess mortality is modulated by dominant socio-economic factors of the society, including:
age structure
hierarchical poverty structure
societal history of largescale infant and childhood trauma (war, famine, oppression)
endemic social networks
state networks of services, including institutions and institutional culture
spectrum of widespread opioid addictions (including fentanyl and heroin)
degree of medicalization of health
susceptibility to deleterious state propaganda
The
idea of a spreading viral respiratory disease is irrelevant,
disconnected from reality, and designed to manipulate and exploit people
and nations.
Normal
pre-Covid period seasonal all-cause mortality (high in winter, lower in
summer) has been well documented in many countries for more than 100
years. It is a truly remarkable and stable phenomenon, including in
wealthy and advanced societies, which is not completely understood. Many
have pet theories, such as vitamin D, but no explanation is conclusive
at this time. It is an active research project in our group.
The
amplitude in seasonal variation in the latest decades in Western
countries in the Northern Hemisphere is approximately 10% of summer
values. Summer trough values of mortality vary smoothly over many years,
whereas so-called winter burden mortality above the summer baseline is
chaotic and can be very different from year to year. There is an
industry that tries to link this variable winter burden mortality to
circulating viruses but it fails, in my opinion.
It is remarkable
that the winter all-cause mortality peaks are essentially synchronous
across continents (Europe and North America), within all regions,
countries and counties or states, and between these continents in the
Northern Hemisphere. There is no detectable geographical gradient in
these winter peak positions in any given winter in the last many
pre-Covid-period decades. This has been true prior to mass airline
travel and is true now. The said synchronicity, without centers or
gradients, is contrary to models of spread.
Furthermore, the
winter burden peaks in the Southern Hemisphere occur during its winter,
during Northern Hemisphere summer months, which would require remarkable
equatorial gating of any presumed pathogens, and there is no seasonal
variation of mortality in regions near the equator. Clearly, the global
and local seasonal patterns of all-cause mortality (seen to be tied to
respiratory, circulatory and many other conditions in the elderly, but
not significantly to cancer) are a planetary phenomenon, not one mostly
or solely related to models of respiratory pathogen emergence and
spread.
The winter burden mortality is probably associated with
physiological stressors such as changing cold temperatures, atmospheric
pressure, and humidity, which are driven by seasonal weather cycles and
large weather systems on the planet. This is an obvious mechanism for
“synchronicity” of winter burden mortality peaks. The seasonal stressors
are sufficient to cause seasonal all-cause mortality among the elderly,
increasing with age, but no winter burden mortality whatsoever in
younger ages.
The higher residence time of aerosol particles in
dry air (presumed higher transmissivity of airborne microorganisms and
higher suspended dust load in built environments in winter air) probably
does not play a significant role in the global age-dependent
geo-seasonal pattern of all-cause mortality.
A conceptual link to
the peaks of excess (beyond seasonal pattern) all-cause mortality
occurring during the Covid period is immediate, since they too are
synchronous, and they are tied to stressors from globally coordinated
measures and rollouts.
Both normal pre-Covid period seasonal
winter burden peaks and Covid period excess mortality peaks are caused
by externally imposed drivers (seasonal weather and so-called pandemic
response, respectively) that create fatal biological stress for the
frail and elderly.
The phenomenon and consequences of biological stress have an eminent scientific history, starting in 1936
with the lifework of Hans Selye, and continuing with the modern
speciality of human microbiomes. Biological stress, as first defined by
Selye and augmented by decades of research, is the essential mechanism
of virtually all early non-violent death. It should be the grounding for
all investigations of mortality events and patterns, excluding only
obvious cases such as earth quakes, if Big Pharma had not systematically
poisoned the well.
My large evidence-based 2019 analysis has received some praise and is entitled: “Geo-Economics
and Geo-Politics Drive Successive Eras of Predatory Globalization and
Social Engineering - Historical emergence of climate change, gender
equity, and anti-racism as State doctrines”. I believe it is seminal in many respects. It is also available as an audiobook that can be freely downloaded.
My
overarching conclusion, starting from the Second World War, is the high
degree to which USA-regime-based and protected global elites,
organizations, corporations and financiers occupied the planet and
explicitly designed dominant social ideologies including anti-racism,
gender, and climate change ideologies, to permeate every layer of
Western and captured societies.
I describe the nexus of the USA
Empire’s power as reliance on owning and enforcing the global currency
that is the USA dollar. They have done this by controlling the currency
for exchanges in all major commodities including oil, opioids,
agriculture and global medical interventions, and by dominating those
sectors. The USA regime further runs a global protection racket based on
imposing inflated arms sales (in USA dollars) to all its “allies” and
protectorates.
The USA regime also controls virtually all
influential mainstream media in the occupied world, and has created the
largest propaganda infrastructure in history. Its propaganda is so
influential that it penetrates into the societies of sovereign nations
such as Russia and China, especially if the propaganda contains global
crisis hysterics related to terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, the
environment or health.
My 2019 analysis, therefore, is an ideal
general framework to understand the multi-pronged attack by the USA
regime that was Covid, including prominent direct contractual and
operational involvement by the USA DoD. Covid was a geopolitical
operation designed and run by the USA regime. Under such pressures,
Russia and China had no choice to participate in measures and to develop
their own vaccines. China, in particular, was at high risk of becoming a
global scapegoat, largely thanks to early top-tier scientific-journal
epidemiological models, which are an integral part of the propaganda.
See my “Arms sales and mRNA vaccine sales should both be understood as protection rackets”, including a link to a fascinating 25 March 2020 video interview with Ex-Russian Intel officer Vladimir Kvachkov.
Yes,
a protection racket is one in which organized crime extracts payments
for a guarantee of so-called protection. It is essentially a rent payed
to the controllers of territories of exploitation. It is outright
extortion, accompanied by unlimited access to the premises.
In the case of the USA regime and its military and surveillance technologies, arms sales are imposed on de facto occupied countries.
The
sales are in USA dollars, thus ensuring a demand for the USA dollar.
The client state obtains the needed USA dollars by sales of its resource
and labour paid for using USA dollars that the USA regime prints at
will.
As with any major commodity controlled by the USA, the
imposed demand for and the creation of USA dollars is an endless
conveyer belt of exploitation, enforced by military projection and
financial dominance. In all of this the USA debt amassed by decades
(since the USA’s 1971 unilateral withdrawal from the Bretton Woods
agreement) of so-called “trade deficits” is essentially irrelevant,
except to create an illusion that the exploited parties have “money in
the bank”. The trade deficits themselves, for most countries, are simply
measures of the degree of exploitation.
This all works as
long as the USA regime dominates the world and can impose its will. We
are living in extraordinary and dangerous times in which USA dominance
is being both challenged and surpassed. I say dangerous because the USA
regime is extremely violent and has demonstrated little restraint
against using war, acts of war, and terrorism via proxies to create
chaos and instability that impedes multi-polar emergence. In the present
context, the conclusion that Russia-China-India rapprochement increases world stability and safety is rational and justified.
The
imposed purchases of massive lots of COVID-19 vaccines were the same
kind of protection racket. Like with arms, the sales were imposed both
domestically and on all the de facto occupied
countries. Like with arms, the purchases were in USA dollars and
subservient currencies. Like with arms, the protection is against an
engineered or fictitious threat (military aggression and viral pandemic,
respectively). Like with arms, the propaganda about the threat is
constant and pervasive. Like with arms, the vaccine protection racket
includes large training exercises to practice and demonstrate efficient
deployment.
Covid was a military operation, and no USA
regime military operation is without huge kickbacks and feeding of the
Empire’s financial and military-industrial sector.
Covid was
also intended to test and advance surveillance, digital control,
censorship, and social control agendas. These agendas are not unrelated
to the USA Empire’s impending meltdown from loss of potency of its USA
dollar global currency. Integrated digital control of every individual’s
financial resources would ensure robust and efficient real-world
grounding for the Empire’s currency, and complete surveillance and
control of its subjects. China has already achieved population coupling
to its national currency. The USA lags behind because of in-fighting
between the big tech and financier elite stake holders, as per the 2024 analysis of Yanis Varoufakis delivered to a Chinese audience.
Make
no mistake: the Empire (the deep state and the top-tier elite
parasites) considers it an existential imperative to impose digital
financial control on all its subjects for the geopolitical and
exploitative reasons explained above; all for your protection of course.
Covid was, among other things, a spearhead to test and advance this
agenda. Covid was also a demonstration of the Empire’s military capacity
to rapidly literally inject all of its subjects with any substance it
chooses, while taxing the public in doing so; again all for your
protection.
From this geopolitical and geo-economic perspective,
in my opinion, debates about the nature and origin of the presumed virus
and about the designer vaccine and its theoretical health consequences
are useful distractions and secondary in relevance at best. The large
excess mortality was from the societal assaults, and appears to have
been collateral. Any successfully propagandized declared threat and
vaccine rollout solution would have achieved the same goals and
consequences.
Importantly, the said social assaults installed during Covid now continue in many Western countries, in the form of:
institutionally normalized wide-spectrum abuse of frail and elderly patients and care home residents,
continued
attacks against political and economic prospects of the domestic middle
classes (with their troublesome desires for freedom and influence), and
increased large-scale opioid dependence.
The installed and continued assaults produce the persistent excess all-cause mortality that we have studied.
The
overriding organizational principle in any group of social animals is
dominance hierarchy. Empirical evidence is overwhelming in this regard. Irrespective of one’s preferred political theory, every group and society is a dominance hierarchy, with potentials for both maintained stability and totalitarian extremes.
Furthermore, the overriding determinant of individual health and
longevity is one’s position in the dominance hierarchy and the nature or
steepness of the dominance hierarchy.
The dominance
hierarchy is a form of self-organized structured cooperation and it is a
powerful survival and realization strategy for any species of social
animal. Therefore, there is a large evolutionary pressure to form
maintained dominance hierarchies.
In 2011 I advanced this original (as far as I know) idea:
Social-dominance-hierarchy
oppression makes us sick, which has a large evolutionary advantage in
that this permits and stabilizes the said hierarchy, thereby making the
species competitive in its harsh environment. Therefore evolution
selects mechanisms of biological-stress-induced ill-health. As a
corollary, there is necessarily a health gradient tied to the
social-status gradient in a social hierarchy.
I first explained the idea on my “Activist Teacher” blog in the 20 December 2011 post: “A Theory of Chronic Pain—a social and evolutionary theory of human disease and chronic pain”. The article was also published at Dissident Voice and in my book.
What
this means is that oppression will make you sick, by many complex
biological mechanisms that have evolved in animal bodies over millions
(billions) of years. This is why there is a strong connection between
biological (including psychological) stress and health. This connection
is centrally important and is ignored and covered up by Pharma-dominated
establishment medicine. Dominance oppression is the root cause of
sickness and poor health, more so in the most violent and authoritarian
dominance hierarchies, for most individuals.
The older you are,
the more effectively oppression and biological stress will kill you, and
this is exponentially so. At the same time, one’s identity is
viscerally tied to one’s place and value in the dominance hierarchy, and
purposeful self-image is an essential driver for life in sentient
beings. A loss of social status often means death for the individual, by
one chronic disease or another. Therefore, confinement is a huge
provider of biological stress and sudden imposed social isolation is
deadly, again exponentially so with age.
Given the extensive
knowledge of the deadly effects of confinement, loss of social status
and social isolation, Covid can be considered mass homicide perpetrated
by our institutions, professionals and their hierarchical bosses, in a
march towards a more totalitarian state.
I gave a principled critique against all childhood vaccine programs in my recent article: “Opinion: Invalidity of counterfactual models of mortality averted by childhood vaccination”.
Despite
decades of study, there is no known example, in high or low childhood
mortality countries, of any childhood vaccine rollout being associated
with a decrease in childhood all-cause mortality. On the contrary, there
is an apparent slowing down of the childhood survival benefit from
development associated with childhood vaccine rollouts. In this context,
development means improving sanitation and nutrition.
Given this
hard reality of at best undetectable benefits for reducing childhood
mortality, there is no reason to look for elusive vaccination benefits
in contrived clinical trials controlled by the same industry that
profits from the scam and that has amply demonstrated its illegal and
criminal behaviour in concocting the said trials.
See the
landmark book “Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime: How big pharma has
corrupted healthcare” by Peter Gøtzsche (2013, CRC Press: Taylor &
Francis Group). The institutional capture and corruption have only
increased since the book was written. Jablonowski et al. (2025) have recently demonstrated that rigged clinical trials were certainly the practice with COVID-19 vaccines.
If
we want to help children, we should help children, not exploit them for
Big Pharma, padded scientific careers and increased revenues for
medical professionals. The Western globalist elite exploiters and their
corporations need to be driven out of maternity and paediatric care
wards.
Here again, therefore, I have shown that all-cause
mortality data is a razor’s edge that can be used to discern health
benefits from medical-industry scams.
Most of these highly
profitable scams (add chemotherapy, blood chemistry drugs, psychiatric
drugs, pain management drugs, etc.) are enabled using elaborate,
protected and institutionalized deception based on concocted
clinical-trials that select special subjects, exclude undesirable
results, underpower to mine advantageous outcomes, virtually never
examine long-term harm, no longer use placebo arms, and do not disclose
data to independent researchers.
The
debate about germ theory versus terrain theory is centered on belief or
criticism of the germ hypothesis that a presumed specific disease can
result from one being infected with a corresponding specific
disease-causing pathogen, and that epidemics of specific diseases can be
generated by transmission of the presumed corresponding specific
pathogen.
Germ theory is motivated by the wishful thinking that
there are such specific diseases that can be cured by a magic bullet
that kills or neutralizes the presumed corresponding specific pathogen,
or that the disease can be prevented by avoiding the pathogen.
Terrain
theory postulates that disease is not fundamentally caused by
pathogenic microorganisms and that health and resilience, including
resistance capacity against assaults from the individual’s environment,
depend on the body’s “terrain”, which in turn depends on the body’s life
history of being subjected to assaults and deficiencies, but also
inherited characteristics.
Basically, many terrain theory
advocates would say that no exposure to a microorganism or to a dose of
microorganisms, and no microorganisms in one’s bodily microbiomes can be
an initiating cause of harm, and that ill-health is always a
consequence of poor terrain, irrespective of exposure to or challenge
from any presumed harmful microorganisms.
Terrain theory advocacy
appears to be motivated by promotion of the importance of nutrition and
life style choices, justified rejection of Pharma-driven establishment
medicine, a desire to expose egregious lies of establishment medicine,
and a desire to find a magic bullet argument (non-existence of viruses,
benign danger from bacteria) that would collapse much of the irrational
practice of establishment medicine.
An AI description of terrain
theory is: “Terrain theory proposes that the body's internal health
("terrain") dictates its susceptibility to disease, rather than germs
being the primary cause.” There is much empirical evidence supporting
the terrain perspective, but the debate or binary opposition (internal
bodily fitness vs exposure to pathogens) cast in this way leaves out the
centrally important role of the immediate and changing environment or
life circumstances that are the source of biological (including
psychological) stress.
As such, the debate is plagued (no pun
intended) by two ill-defined and tunnel-vision hypotheses set in binary
opposition to each other.
First, neither hypothesis sufficiently
defines ill-health, sickness or disease. A sufficient definition would
require much more and integrated knowledge, or at least more incisive
paradigms than are presently used.
Second, the germ-hypothesis
branch unrealistically postulates the hypothetical effects of a single
microorganism, whereas bacterial microorganisms in nature always occur
as communities or microbiomes or bio-films or infusions of populations
of a great number of different bacterial species.
Third, the
debate opposes a specific mechanism on the one hand (infection) and on
the other hand a non-specified general manner in which ill-health or
disease spontaneously occurs or does not occur (terrain).
The
debate in its usual form therefore is not strictly scientific. Following
the scientific method is simpler. One receives a well-delimited precise
hypothesis to examine whether it can be disproved. If the hypothesis is
not one that can be disproved in principle, if it is not testable, then
the hypothesis itself is not valid.
If the hypothesis is that the
pathogen is invisible and cannot reliably be identified and manipulated
for the purpose of testing the hypothesis, then it is not a valid
hypothesis. In my opinion, the virus advocates have not demonstrated
that the viral hypothesis of disease causation is itself a valid
(testable) hypothesis. The onus is on them to make this demonstration.
At this time, therefore, in my opinion, the only scientific debate
regarding the viral hypothesis of disease is whether the virus advocates
have even demonstrated a testable hypothesis with current technology.
If they have not, then they are simply practicing voodoo and promoting
the practice of voodoo.
If the hypothesis involves a
bacterial cause of disease, then it is at least testable in principle
with current technology. And the debate is whether the appropriate tests
have been performed, and whether the hypothesis has been disproved.
(Note that as a scientist I have performed research on bacteria.)
Tuberculosis
has been highly studied and is believed to be an infectious bacterial
respiratory disease. However, many coexisting bacterial species are now
seen to be concomitantly associated with the disease, contrary to the
original view of a single causal bacterial species. Performed
transmission experiments from diseased humans to animals are argued to
be conclusive evidence of the infectious nature of tuberculosis or at
least that transmission is possible; however the long-standing
persistent and pervasive presence of the infection in the global
population makes the contagiousness debate somewhat irrelevant, compared
to an evolutionary coexistence paradigm, and the spectrum of individual
manifestations rather supports a “terrain” interpretation.
I am
not aware of any controlled experiments on humans or non-human animals
of challenges using doses from pure cultures of single species of
bacteria. If a battery of such experiments were to produce null results,
then the bacterial hypothesis of disease causation would be disproved,
for the specific bacterial species, dose delivery method and animal
model.
If we relax the hypothesis to challenges using doses
containing varied bacterial species, then the experiments are easier to
perform and are more realistic in terms of what would occur in reality, such as in aspiration pneumonia.
I believe these experiments would give positive results (induced
disease manifestations) in many circumstances, depending on the state
(“terrain”) of the test subjects.
In addition, for example, a reputable scientific review
of 36 clinical trials concluded: “antibiotics [reduce respiratory tract
infections] and overall mortality in adult patients receiving intensive
care”. Similarly, in a recent large population based cohort study
the authors concluded: “In elderly patients with a diagnosis of urinary
tract infection in primary care, no antibiotics and deferred
antibiotics were associated with a significant increase in bloodstream
infection and all-cause mortality compared with immediate antibiotics.”
These
studies support the idea that a large chemical disruption of
microbiomes of bacteria associated with severe health conditions can
provide lifesaving benefit in certain circumstances. This ties to the
immoral Covid-period widespread practice of denying antibacterial
treatments, discussed above.
In human history, anthropologists
tell us that the main cause of death limiting life expectancy to barely
more than 30 years has been infections, in open wounds (from fights and
accidents), from exposure to hostile environments and from acquired
aggressive parasites, and the like. Reliable historical studies in the
USA showed significant decreases in mortality rates associated with
sanitizing water supplies, often using filtration and chlorine. In such
deaths, the primary apparent cause is injury from consumption of bad
water, not transmission of a specific pathogen.
In our research we
have stressed the important distinction that must be made between a
true primary cause of death and an accompanying proximal or clinical
cause of death (such as recorded on a death certificate). This is
important in giving a correct context to the germ vs terrain debate.
A
primary cause of death is the agent that actually caused the fatal
injury to the body. For example, a car accident can be a primary cause
of death where massive loss of blood and specific systems failures would
be proximal causes. Aggressions that cause fatal biological stress are
primary causes, many system dysfunctions result, and the first proximal
cause might be recorded as “pneumonia” or “heart failure”.
Beyond
that, we can debate whether the bacterial manifestations that accompany
the cooperative failure known as death were harmful or beneficial, or
intended (by the bacteria?) to be beneficial but caused collateral harm,
and so on.
My view
is that the body’s microbiomes (lungs, gut, skin) can be perturbed by
external stressors to spiral out of balance and cause or contribute to
causing death. In aspiration pneumonia, the gut and respiratory
microbiomes both contribute to the outcome.
The degree to
which an external stressor can perturb a microbiome and the recovery
capacity both depend on the “terrain”, and the said terrain (the state
of the body) is dramatically and necessarily impoverished with age, in
addition to the impact from other factors.
I believe that colonies
(microbiomes) of bacteria can negatively impact health, to the point of
death, and that susceptibility to such events depends on both “terrain”
(bodily state) and ambient conditions (biological stress). For example,
exposure alone to pathogens (such as respiratory pathogens associated
with tuberculosis) is not sufficient to cause disease manifestations of
tuberculosis, and as such may never be a primary cause of tuberculosis.
I
agree that the virus paradigm of disease is tenuous. I have not been
able to find any conclusive evidence that supports the virus paradigm.
Invisible causes are convenient to rationalize complex phenomena but the
viral invisible cause is demonstrably useless in real terms measured by
mortality, as we have repeatedly shown.
Let
me answer by broadening the question. How are harmful medical practices
initiated and how do they become widespread and institutionalized?
The
starting point of our query should be to recognize that fatal
recommended medical practices certainly are widespread, in general and
at every level of the medical establishment. I emphasized this in my 2015 critical review
of the cancer paradigm. The epidemic of medical harm is too widespread
and persistent over many decades to be considered as “errors”. It is not
controversial to affirm that medicine is one of the few leading causes
of premature death in the Western world and has been so for two or more
generations. How did this arise and how is the situation robustly
maintained?
This brings us back to societal dominance
hierarchy. The medical establishment’s structural societal purpose is
primarily to manage and bolster the dominance hierarchy. Health provided
by professionals is entirely an illusion, not unlike virtue provided by
clergy and the church. Corporate medicine is intended to ensure
servitude and dependence, and it may be the state’s most powerful
instrument in this regard, manned by innumerable professionals, workers,
teachers, and managers, and imbedded in a large finance, corporate and
government structure. Medicine is part of the
finance-industrial-congressional-military-intelligence-academic-medical-media
complex of the USA regime, and therefore of the Western world.
Medical
clinics and institutions play the same role as the police-judicial
apparatus: To systematically and randomly assault individuals in order
to assert dominance (see: Silk, 2002),
while also appearing to resolve some injustices in order to retain
legitimacy and prevent rebellious outbursts. As such, human society is
essentially a troupe of baboons, and its institutions are designed and
evolve accordingly.
With medicine, the control apparatus
has the advantage over police and employers that it can directly make
you weak or sick without relying solely on the physiological mechanism
based on stress from physical and psychological aggression. Medicine can
literally prescribe sickness and dependence.
If we escape the
massive propaganda regarding benefits from establishment medicine, and
once we understand the sociological truth of its actual design, we must
conclude that examples of medical practices providing real net benefit
to individual health are either accidental or simply allowed to create
the needed trust and legitimacy.
In this context, the medical
system constantly experiments with new so-called treatment protocols
that, with the help of propaganda, fit nicely as new tools in the
project of asserting subservience and dominance, while robbing the
targets of resources and removing useless dependants such as the
chronically ill and elderly. This is observed in any social animal
dominance hierarchy; only the methods are different.
As with any
systematic assertion of dominance, the behaviour can go too far, spin
out of control in a sense. In animal groups this can catalyze mobbing
against dominants, for example.
In our stable societies,
there are constant corrective resets of institutional policy and
behaviour, following events of media outrage or of resistance (such as
so-called vaccine hesitancy). At the same time, elite corruption pushes
laws and policies toward excessive exploitation. I described this
societal pushing, pulling and corruption in my 2017 essay entitled “Cause of USA Meltdown and Collapse of Civil Rights”.
This is a longstanding historic pattern, across millennia (see: “The
Great Wave: Price Revolutions and the Rhythm of History” by David
Hackett Fischer, 1996).
The important and beneficial
present MAHA movement at USA federal agencies, I would argue, is this
kind of corrective reset needed to preserve and strengthen the medical
establishment’s legitimacy and acceptance, while leaving in place most
of its practices demonstrably harmful to individual health.
The
pandemic paradigm is exceptionally insidious on a higher level than
regular aggressive maintenance of the dominance hierarchy. They want us
to believe in a constant risk of virulent airborne-pathogen pandemics
that each could threaten humanity on the scale of a massive meteorite
impact, requiring global responses that bolster elite exploitation and
control. My research has convinced me that there probably never has been such a pandemic in history, including 1918 and the Black Death.
Regarding
specific circumstances of harmful medical interventions applied during
the Covid period, we again discussed examples in our most recent paper disproving pandemic viral spread.
Covid
was a planned and executed USA-regime military exercise that
coordinated many major corporate players including: Pharma, Medical,
Finance, Media (including Social media), Intelligence, Transport, Army,
Congressional and Parliamentary houses, Governments at all levels,
international bodies, Police, Judiciary, Science, and Academia.
Russia
and China felt compelled to play along, given world opinion and
penetration of the USA-run propaganda, and to develop their own vaccines
and measures. Rulers who rejected the pandemic fraud were assassinated
or otherwise removed or silenced.
In reality there was no
pandemic-causing virus and the vaccines were demonstrably harmful. The
lab leak dimension is irrelevant, since there was no deadly viral agent.
The
responses and measures caused more than 30 million deaths worldwide (up
to 2022, virtually all sick, elderly and opioid-addicted individuals)
and left permanent societal scares including serious vaccine adverse
effects.
The newly installed institutional practices now cause
large persistent excess all-cause mortality to this day in many
countries, not to mention broader social acceptance of infringed civil
freedom rights and protections. Work, leisure and health cultures were
changed discontinuously. The medical establishment became more
aggressive and authoritarian than even before in generational memory. A
complete list of consequences would be very long.
The Covid
pandemic was possible because of USA-controlled globalization and USA
world dominance. As other major poles of geopolitical power grow, and as
USA dominance is eroded, such a global event of transformation and
exploitation is less likely to be as successful again in the coming
years. The window for the USA-regime to pull off such global scams as
Covid is closing. The driving force of profit and Western elite
influence are also waning as global multi-polarity increases.
Increasing
global multi-polarity, in the long run, will probably improve basic and
civil rights of citizens of the USA more than any declared good
intensions of their leaders, as global comparisons of and competition
for good living and working conditions increases. Tourism interest and
quality immigration flows are already increasing towards Russia and
China. But first, conditions for Western citizens will get worse,
especially in so-called allied countries pillaged by the USA, and
especially for the working classes, not to mention the virtual certainty
of increasing USA-led wars as the USA dominance window closes.
Presently,
our main immediate research projects that are advanced to various
degrees include: a theory of health and death, seasonal variations and
geotemporal patterns of mortality in normal periods, an extensive study
of almost 100 socio-economic factors associated with excess mortality,
proof of manipulations of global temperature records, a large study of
vaccine-status-resolved excess mortality, theoretical limits of
spatiotemporal models of disease spread, and a study of unscientific
Canadian government behaviour during Covid from accessed documents.
