I can't finish reading this yet, but I have to say that just starting at the beginning, this is fantastic. The fast thoughts and slow thoughts section is so perfectly descriptive. Two of my most frequent comments in my regular long discussions are, "it's complicated" and "I don't know". That isn't to say that I'm paralyzed with indecisiveness; on the contrary: I have my learned hunches, I act on them, and I keep looking to ensure that I'm on the preferred path. It's somewhat comforting to think that this places me in the "not easily fooled camp", but of course, that would be a self-deceptive assumption.
Thank you for covering what I consider one of the most important books to read, Unbekoming, and made the core of my 12-step recovery program for menticide!
My son is 7 and in public school. What are some ways I can help him to stay morally grounded, think critically and not to follow the masses. I spend a lot of time with my son and I do not follow the government narrative such as vaccines and climate hysteria etc. But my husband believes in all this stuff. I also tell my son to think for himself and do his own research, but at 7 years old, he doesn’t understand that yet.
It's not something that can be taught overnight, give him living examples in your own behaviour and mythology.
At 7, he will be still in the stage of wanting to be a part of the group, it's perfectly natural cycle of development. As he approaches 9 and during the 9th year, he will begin to comprehend his individuality and separation from the group think. That's when your examples will show ways that he can develop his character towards sense of self, moral fortitude and resilience. I like the Norse mythology and marvel comics for this stage😉
I will be curious any thoughts and references and experiences others have had related to the question Laura posed. I have not read all of the article yet, but I did see that some characteristics were posited that are thought to make one resistant to mental manipulation. I would like to methodically review them against how they might work in a parenting context.
I gave my sons a book to read during the summer, my choice, not there's, 10-12 chapters, and NOT their required age level, but a grade ahead. It's what I did during the summer mostly because I loved my brother and could barely compete with his 180 IQ, so I pushed myself to read higher levels books with a dictionary close by.
I calculated one chapter per week and we'd gather on a Sunday after church, to discuss that chapter. When asked what does this mean or that mean I directed them to a dictionary. If they still didn't get it, we discussed it. It became a family affair and we had fun with it. The original hand held device is what I used and to this day, they still read books. I now forward Unbekoming articles to them every day.
Good girl. In the old days, way before me, one woman would ask another, "Is he a man of information?" That stuck with me. Forever. One knows immediately (I sure did) if the possibility of conversation existed when meeting someone. I was never afraid to make small talk with strangers exchanging ideas I knew absolutely nothing about. It was an opportunity I embraced.
The flip side, talking to men engaged in sports only or women talking about fashion, makeup and home decor only, I made it an exit, stage left. Now my boys are competing with me using words they think I don't understand. Fat chance.
My mother asked me "If your friend jumped off a cliff would you do it too?" It didn't help me much. In retrospect, public school isn't a safe place to leave children. School, TV, phone, his dad are 85% + more repetitive than you are. A less rhetorical question that you really thought about and waiting for a considered answer might be more helpful. Reading fairy tales helped me more than my mother did in this respect.
Your question is really one that is on my mind as well. Thank you for voicing it. Roughly: How can parenting support the growth and maturation of a person best available to their own senses and capacity for wisdom and agency, and able to resist deception and malicious influence? The question may evolve to be a better question. Anyone have a better question?
As an exercise, and because I also have a 7yo who makes the question of primary importance, I will put out what comes to my mind.
First, you specifically. You mentioned you and your husband are not on the same page regarding some big issues of the day. Considering your family made it through the recent years while having that difference of views, I must imagine that you could probably tell us all something about how a family can keep its integrity and protect its interior relationships.
You've had quite a difficult challenge, and so I am sure you are completely activated around issues of family division and cohesion and integrity. But, I will insist that, especially for a young child, the family is crucial. Close around that age, my first son experienced the separation of his parents, and I could never have imagined how badly it would affect him. He lost his stability and his sense of security. He questioned his self worth. He engaged in fantasies of fighting and looking for the enemy who was keeping him from his family, and now grown, his struggle to feel like his own self and to have a sense of real family have become pivotal in his path. I will say with surety that for a child, especially a young one, having a stable, loving, secure family with strength of integrity is incredibly important. If I were to advise anyone, or even simply my past self, I would urge to pay attention to family issues and do the work now to attend to them. It's so easy to rely upon a life of dysfunction, but, if it could be helped, better now than later, or never. The family, the parents, the family home, are all basic foundational structures which will underlay future development of critical thinking, of making active choices, of building relationships with self and others, and of making sense of anything at all. It is so fundamental that it is nearly as invisible as is the water in which the fish swims, as they say.
Thank you so much for your response. Yes it has been very challenging since we don’t agree on politics, vaccines and even have differences in faith. We’ve had a life coach that we’ve known for 20 years that has helped us with very difficult issues. He agreed on some of my most important issues like never covid vaccine no more vaccines in the future. I had to make concessions on his most pressing concerns which was not as critical for me. We both agree that family unity is essential and is the foundation. The more experiences we can do as a family the better such as hikes, play board games, crafts, cook together,read, travel, and spend time with extended family.
School. I cannot abide by school myself. Can you imagine living your formative and foundational years institutionalized? I don't have to imagine; I did it! And then I dabbled my way through decades of exploring one educational system after another: public, charter, Montessori, Sudbury, Agile, democratic, play, humanistic, unschool, Christian homeschool.... At this point I am so opinionated that I may question whether I can truly relate to a large majority of people.
My children are so dear to me. I cannot imagine leaving the parenting of them to paid professionals. I cannot imagine accepting blindly the vast majority of whatever that goes on in classrooms. Unless you are in the classroom, you don't really know what goes on there. How many schools allow parents in? Can you decide to go to school with your child today? Probably not.
So, well, parents often do not agree on what schooling is best. I personally think you have to assess your situation, what you can tell from your child, from yourself and husband, and see what you will do. If your child goes to school, you still parent, giving them what tools you can, so that, even given potentially some bad options, hopefully they will carry with them what you are giving them. If they have the experiences and capacities that you offer, they will at least have that in the range of foundational experiences. And you can be a super communicator, building relationships with teachers and others in your child's life. And, there are truly good people whose good heart and character make it impossible to limit them to a simple role with its list of duties. You don't want someone to professionally "care" for your own family. You want care to truly involve an expression of love.
I also spend and spent much time with my children noticing other people. Did you notice that grandma says this and likes that and does that? She does it that way. How do we do it at our house? How does mommy or daddy do it? What do you think? You can help things to be noticed. You can ask questions, find out where your child is at, give their mind a chance to try to navigate, problem-solve together, even identify family or religious values that apply, and expectations and limits. You can explore, turn even problems into curiosities, and you can offer a modeling of a way forward in yourself or others or even in stories.
My son used to have lots of problems, with kids, with situations, with adults. Sometimes we'd explore them when calm, and I would write them down. He loved having his story written and wanted to hear it often. When he had a plan for what to say to someone or what would happen next time, we'd write it down (even before he could read and write). We might write a letter to others involved, or even make a storybook with stick figure illustrations which would tell the story of him having a different experience and effecting the plan. I could write a story, and even displace him in favor of less triggering made up characters, in order to imagine another way things could be. He loves fantasy play, and all of those stories would offer roles to play.
My son was easily overwhelmed by media, as many children are. Media characters seen on a screen would overpower him and determine how he would be that character. I realized that, in order to have fruitful fantasy role plays, he needed a less determinate medium, like books or oral stories. I did manage to keep him almost entirely innocent of screens until about 6. I regret the influence he would encounter there in later years, as I did not understand at that time how powerful the influence and experience was.
I think it is really interesting to notice when it is OK for people to have different ideas, or when it has an import. If you're creative, you might find yourself navigating seemingly unrelated patterns that actually speak perfectly to what is coming up these past years. You can work on it without working on it specifically. The "there" is there, and there, and there as well. I have been listening to Milton Erickson stories lately, and it seems marvelous to me how resourcefully seemingly unrelated things speak perfectly to each other.
The first thing the military does is brainwash soldiers into believing that they are loyal to their country. They are in fact loyal to their owners, the corrupt government and the moneychangers who control it.
The word "mission" is a good example of logocide in the military. The ephemeral mission is whatever your superior says it is. From there, is always the good excuse, "I was just following orders" or "just doing my job".
Thank you for another great source of information!
Aside from the answer to question 30, the author makes some excellent points.
Given that the book was written in 1962 it's an incredibly insightful piece of work. Merloo's trust in psychology as a tool to 'build mental resilience' and to 'preserve the freedom of the human mind' is no longer valid ~ however, justified in this context. It must have been difficult to foresee and imagine the abuse of psychology as a tool for manipulation and furthering public confusion.
All very interesting but, as in all psychology, evading the notion of personal responsibility. I personally prefer to view things from a purely legal standpoint, and let the guilty ones deal with their mental perversions on their way to the scaffold.
Herve Cleckley's book on psychopathy, Mask of Sanity might be another one to review. I read it a long time ago on the computer because it is out of print. https://www.cix.co.uk/~klockstone/sanity_1.pdf
The assumption there’s a ruling hand controlling the mind, - rather than assist the individual in breaking free, - only solidifies its bondage.
This common explanation only ensures the continued relinquishment of self responsibility, which in its totality, sustains the complete enslavement of society.
In other words, the harsh and inconvenient truth is that there is no “them”. It’s us. It’s all of us. We are it and it is us.
Through our complacent, detached and desensitized existence, now in a technological bubble, no longer connected to ourselves and present in our own bodies, in multitudes, create and sustains the oppressions to which we erroneously perceive and project as the fault and blame of those outside our lives.
This enables a never ending vicious cycle which only solidifies the victimhood state, while enchanting the individual that they are freer, stronger and braver than ever. It’s all an illusion made by no one, other than the cumulative effect of billions of sheep pretending to be wolves.
This is a spiritual crises like no other in the history of our species in which all of us are hijacked by an illusory feeling that it’s “them” doing it to “us”, whereas in reality, each is frightened exactly the same way. The rich, the poor, the educated and uneducated - all are frightened and helpless.
Under such spell, each is convinced the other is responsible for their fate, and therefore deserves control and punishment. And so, where everybody believes they are innocent and exempt, while it’s always the fault of someone else, you know then that society marches on to a pandemonium. Everything collapses.
The story of Exodus in the Bible wasn’t written about the past, but about the future - our times. The value behind the story of emancipation is not about freeing oneself from a ruling elite, but from the self oppression insidiously possessing one's mind, that they are always oppressed by someone else.
I often joke that I grew up in "Cluster-B-ville." The family currency was (and is) lies, manipulation, and control tactics.
Fast forward to 2020 ... I knew everything was a lie from the get-go. Guess I should thank family for all that early training. If nothing else, they gave me a great B.S. Radar. ;-)
In February 2021 I shared excerpts from the book on Facebook with very little reaction from my Facebook friends. Meerloo wrote the book in the 1950’s. I believe humans have been modified since then in ways which makes them even more susceptible to the menticide Meerloo describes.
Interestingly, Meerloo published his book in 2023 ....around the same time that Michael Nehls published The Indoctrinated Brain and imo these two works should be paired together. Nehls has received quite a lot of publicity, while Meerloo has not up to this point; hopefully that will change very soon!
Nehls gives great explanation of the biology behind memory stored within the hippocampus and the techniques used to overwrite; it's quite literally how the brain gets re-wired and locked into a permanent state. When you also explore the information brought forth by survivors of cult programming with regard to the symbolism used (which is the language of the subconscious) you are able to get a really solid feel for the entire landscape, and this is necessary if we are to ever successfully break people out of the mental prison that they are stuck inside. Learning about all these things was the reason I became a hypnotist and nlp practitioner; these techniques must be used to help in the same way that they have been used to harm.
Most people fell for the Covid brainwashing. It was a full-spectrum military grade psyop, and I would guess the Tavistock Institute mind manipulation gurus were working overtime to create various Covid mantras, Don't Kill Grandma, No One Is Safe Unless Everyone Is Safe, Staying Apart Keeps Us Together, and all the other deep psychological programming the spinmeisters threw at us. COVID was not a minor thing.
A great tool for me to a flexible mind with tolerance for ambiguity has been physical improvisation. Moshe Feldenkrais started a method of self exploratory movement. I like to dance, so I have a game to constantly meditate. When I notice a bodily characteristic, or an imagined visualization, or whatever passes as mental or physical languaging, I try to explore the quality and also wonder: what if I changed it? What happens then? Even if I didn't have inspiration, I could just add easily choose a word or something that I see at random, self it could revolutionize my entire physical concept. And then, I also like returning "home" to my favorite movements, to the qualities and, in a sense, "identities and convictions" which seem to never never get lost or become irrelevant to my fundamental physical existence. And I can transfer all of these physical concepts and strategies right over to the mind!
I also find that each person is very unique. When I get to know people better, or get to see them a while, I can even imaginatively bring them into conversation such that I can in a sense have more eyes than my own to look upon any focal point. When I notice something, I can ask others, even in my imagination, and so learn more. They can even be fictional people, or people from another time in history entirely.
Another trick. I have a shelf in my mind. When I don't understand something, or I want to keep its questions open, I savor it and then put it on my mental shelf. There it is always near, can easily be taken down to consider, and waits in the wings for its opportunities to become more.
The utility of therapy really depends. It is also its own trance. Abigail Shrier is currently interviewing widely in promotion of her new book questioning harms of therapy culture upon the youth.
Those who control the press, control the mind: “What they did is, they said, ‘We’re going to inject into the arms of billions of people the instructions to turn each individual into a bioweapons factory’ … Every single person that took the shot became the manufacturer of a synthetic spike protein associated with the coronavirus model.
There are TWO elements to this Bio Weapon because the "Not natural mRNA - but ModRNA DNA synthetic, created in a laboratory and patented" has nothing to do with the "injected trillions of LNP viral vectors (or Carbon Oxide particles), does it"?
1) Biological Weapons: “The difference between this and everything that’s been done before is really simple.
Not natural mRNA - but ModRNA DNA synthetic, created in a laboratory and patented: there are two distinctions that are absolutely unique to the covid pandemic.
Number 1, we are actually creating the mechanism to instruct the body to manufacture a toxin …
Number 2, the response is actually a ‘hopeful’ response that failed to consider two very critical things: the lipid nanoparticle in which the shot is delivered actually is also a toxin … and then the worst part about it is that we introduced a thing called pseudouridine.”
Pseudouridine was published in 2018 to be a pro-cancer agent. What this means is that “it shuts down the body’s response to how we recognise tumours and suppress tumours,” Dr. Martin explained. Pseudouridine has been included in mRNA injections to stabilise the mRNA so it stays in the human body longer to achieve its effect, he said = MS40?
Dr. Masanori Fukushima, pointed out that “turbo cancers,” a kind “previously unseen by doctors” that progress extremely quickly and are typically in stage four by the time they are diagnosed, have started to appear after the jab rollouts. These “turbo cancers” are emerging along with excess mortality due to cancer in general, which Dr. Fukushima says cannot be explained only by lost opportunities for screenings or treatment during the COVID outbreak.
2) Weapons of Mass Destruction: Secondly there is the US Army Weapon which they are not telling anyone about, because it is a MILITARY SECRET. You don't want your enemy to know you can kill them with a 5G transmission, do you?
From Marc Giradots Substack post, those equate to:
50 billion viral vectors for AstraZeneca
40 billion LNPs for Moderna
and likely 10 to 12 billion for Pfizer
Due to a lack of good manufacturing process checks, there maybe a variable amount of intact messenger RNA in each LNP , “… but even if we agree to only 1 (modRNA strand), and that each one produces 1000 spike protein (due to the persistence of N1-methyl pseudouridine), we are talking your body having to deal with a minimum 30 trillion pathogenic spike proteins2 in a few months time”
When you say: 50 billion viral vectors for AstraZeneca 40 billion LNPs for Moderna and likely 10 to 12 billion for Pfizer I think there is a mistake by a factor of 1,000.
The Moderna contains 40*10^12 LNPs, to the best of my knowledge (Pfizer 12*10^12). This equates to 40/12 trillion in short scale. At first I thought you were using long scale (10^12=1 billion); however, that would not fit with the AZ numbers. AZ has 50*10^9, which would be 1 milliard in long scale. I believe these numbers to be correct (https://evolutionaryhealthplan.info/#_Ref83404023 )
"It is my thought" that the carbon particles are inert and that only by 5G transmission can they be activated, when the Trillions of inert Carbon Particles are changed into Carbon Hydroxide, which are minature razors, too small to see without an Electron Microscope, which in turn chop up your insides and inside your Organs shutting them down and killing you, possibly over 4 days and the reason for your new MAC address:
Find your MAC address with Apple: BT Explorer. Android: Inpersona - or both with Bluetooth.
SO - those behind these vaccines can implement them whenever they like and there is nothing we can do to stop them, except publish these bio weapons, their intention and hold those behind them to ransom - if you do this, we will do that to you, because we know who you are and where you live.
Thus the Great Reset was a huge success, because once in, the vaccine contents can't be taken out again can they?
President Trump declared a national emergency in March 2020, making the pandemic eligible for government action under the Defense Production Act.
President Trump said he invoked the Defense Production Act more than 100 times to facilitate Operation Warp Speed.
President Trump for the US Army, purchased Pfizer's vaccines on 21st July 2020. Trump was "the only person with the authority he gave himself", to be able to do that with his "Operation Warp Speed".
The Department Of The Army US Army Contracting Command – New Jersey Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey 07806-5000 for a Large Scale Vaccine Manufacturing Demonstration (Pfizer, Inc) for the total approved cost to the Government for $1,950,097,500.00
You will find Operation Warp Speed mentioned in that contract, in the 3rd paragraph down.
I was surprised to find in paragraph 4 that Pfizer is a small business and that Operation Warp Speed is a prototype project. Is Pfizer doing this in the garage like Mr Gates did his business?
Pfizer is now a huge business with billions earned from their vaccines world wide - BionTech who owns the patent for the Covid ModRNA DNA vaccines which it licences to Pfizer, is probably a small research lab, because the husband and wife team is all they need to concoct more poisons to inflict on the willing who queue up in their billions to volunteer to have them, through Pfizer.

I also have to add that your evaluations and presentations are brilliantly expressed; the perfect combination of concise, yet comprehensive.

Re Question 16:
The first thing the military does is brainwash soldiers into believing that they are loyal to their country. They are in fact loyal to their owners, the corrupt government and the moneychangers who control it.
The word "mission" is a good example of logocide in the military. The ephemeral mission is whatever your superior says it is. From there, is always the good excuse, "I was just following orders" or "just doing my job".
Thank you for another great source of information!
Aside from the answer to question 30, the author makes some excellent points.
Given that the book was written in 1962 it's an incredibly insightful piece of work. Merloo's trust in psychology as a tool to 'build mental resilience' and to 'preserve the freedom of the human mind' is no longer valid ~ however, justified in this context. It must have been difficult to foresee and imagine the abuse of psychology as a tool for manipulation and furthering public confusion.
Exactly... Depends on who's hands these tools land in.
I thought that too
All very interesting but, as in all psychology, evading the notion of personal responsibility. I personally prefer to view things from a purely legal standpoint, and let the guilty ones deal with their mental perversions on their way to the scaffold.
Herve Cleckley's book on psychopathy, Mask of Sanity might be another one to review. I read it a long time ago on the computer because it is out of print. https://www.cix.co.uk/~klockstone/sanity_1.pdf
The assumption there’s a ruling hand controlling the mind, - rather than assist the individual in breaking free, - only solidifies its bondage.
This common explanation only ensures the continued relinquishment of self responsibility, which in its totality, sustains the complete enslavement of society.
In other words, the harsh and inconvenient truth is that there is no “them”. It’s us. It’s all of us. We are it and it is us.
Through our complacent, detached and desensitized existence, now in a technological bubble, no longer connected to ourselves and present in our own bodies, in multitudes, create and sustains the oppressions to which we erroneously perceive and project as the fault and blame of those outside our lives.
This enables a never ending vicious cycle which only solidifies the victimhood state, while enchanting the individual that they are freer, stronger and braver than ever. It’s all an illusion made by no one, other than the cumulative effect of billions of sheep pretending to be wolves.
This is a spiritual crises like no other in the history of our species in which all of us are hijacked by an illusory feeling that it’s “them” doing it to “us”, whereas in reality, each is frightened exactly the same way. The rich, the poor, the educated and uneducated - all are frightened and helpless.
Under such spell, each is convinced the other is responsible for their fate, and therefore deserves control and punishment. And so, where everybody believes they are innocent and exempt, while it’s always the fault of someone else, you know then that society marches on to a pandemonium. Everything collapses.
The story of Exodus in the Bible wasn’t written about the past, but about the future - our times. The value behind the story of emancipation is not about freeing oneself from a ruling elite, but from the self oppression insidiously possessing one's mind, that they are always oppressed by someone else.
Thanks for writing on a subject that needs to be read by millions.
I often joke that I grew up in "Cluster-B-ville." The family currency was (and is) lies, manipulation, and control tactics.
Fast forward to 2020 ... I knew everything was a lie from the get-go. Guess I should thank family for all that early training. If nothing else, they gave me a great B.S. Radar. ;-)
In February 2021 I shared excerpts from the book on Facebook with very little reaction from my Facebook friends. Meerloo wrote the book in the 1950’s. I believe humans have been modified since then in ways which makes them even more susceptible to the menticide Meerloo describes.
Interestingly, Meerloo published his book in 2023 ....around the same time that Michael Nehls published The Indoctrinated Brain and imo these two works should be paired together. Nehls has received quite a lot of publicity, while Meerloo has not up to this point; hopefully that will change very soon!
Nehls gives great explanation of the biology behind memory stored within the hippocampus and the techniques used to overwrite; it's quite literally how the brain gets re-wired and locked into a permanent state. When you also explore the information brought forth by survivors of cult programming with regard to the symbolism used (which is the language of the subconscious) you are able to get a really solid feel for the entire landscape, and this is necessary if we are to ever successfully break people out of the mental prison that they are stuck inside. Learning about all these things was the reason I became a hypnotist and nlp practitioner; these techniques must be used to help in the same way that they have been used to harm.
Most people fell for the Covid brainwashing. It was a full-spectrum military grade psyop, and I would guess the Tavistock Institute mind manipulation gurus were working overtime to create various Covid mantras, Don't Kill Grandma, No One Is Safe Unless Everyone Is Safe, Staying Apart Keeps Us Together, and all the other deep psychological programming the spinmeisters threw at us. COVID was not a minor thing.
A great tool for me to a flexible mind with tolerance for ambiguity has been physical improvisation. Moshe Feldenkrais started a method of self exploratory movement. I like to dance, so I have a game to constantly meditate. When I notice a bodily characteristic, or an imagined visualization, or whatever passes as mental or physical languaging, I try to explore the quality and also wonder: what if I changed it? What happens then? Even if I didn't have inspiration, I could just add easily choose a word or something that I see at random, self it could revolutionize my entire physical concept. And then, I also like returning "home" to my favorite movements, to the qualities and, in a sense, "identities and convictions" which seem to never never get lost or become irrelevant to my fundamental physical existence. And I can transfer all of these physical concepts and strategies right over to the mind!
I also find that each person is very unique. When I get to know people better, or get to see them a while, I can even imaginatively bring them into conversation such that I can in a sense have more eyes than my own to look upon any focal point. When I notice something, I can ask others, even in my imagination, and so learn more. They can even be fictional people, or people from another time in history entirely.
Another trick. I have a shelf in my mind. When I don't understand something, or I want to keep its questions open, I savor it and then put it on my mental shelf. There it is always near, can easily be taken down to consider, and waits in the wings for its opportunities to become more.
The utility of therapy really depends. It is also its own trance. Abigail Shrier is currently interviewing widely in promotion of her new book questioning harms of therapy culture upon the youth.
Those who control the press, control the mind: “What they did is, they said, ‘We’re going to inject into the arms of billions of people the instructions to turn each individual into a bioweapons factory’ … Every single person that took the shot became the manufacturer of a synthetic spike protein associated with the coronavirus model.
There are TWO elements to this Bio Weapon because the "Not natural mRNA - but ModRNA DNA synthetic, created in a laboratory and patented" has nothing to do with the "injected trillions of LNP viral vectors (or Carbon Oxide particles), does it"?
1) Biological Weapons: “The difference between this and everything that’s been done before is really simple.
Not natural mRNA - but ModRNA DNA synthetic, created in a laboratory and patented: there are two distinctions that are absolutely unique to the covid pandemic.
Number 1, we are actually creating the mechanism to instruct the body to manufacture a toxin …
Number 2, the response is actually a ‘hopeful’ response that failed to consider two very critical things: the lipid nanoparticle in which the shot is delivered actually is also a toxin … and then the worst part about it is that we introduced a thing called pseudouridine.”
Pseudouridine was published in 2018 to be a pro-cancer agent. What this means is that “it shuts down the body’s response to how we recognise tumours and suppress tumours,” Dr. Martin explained. Pseudouridine has been included in mRNA injections to stabilise the mRNA so it stays in the human body longer to achieve its effect, he said = MS40?
Dr. Masanori Fukushima, pointed out that “turbo cancers,” a kind “previously unseen by doctors” that progress extremely quickly and are typically in stage four by the time they are diagnosed, have started to appear after the jab rollouts. These “turbo cancers” are emerging along with excess mortality due to cancer in general, which Dr. Fukushima says cannot be explained only by lost opportunities for screenings or treatment during the COVID outbreak.
2) Weapons of Mass Destruction: Secondly there is the US Army Weapon which they are not telling anyone about, because it is a MILITARY SECRET. You don't want your enemy to know you can kill them with a 5G transmission, do you?
From Marc Giradots Substack post, those equate to:
50 billion viral vectors for AstraZeneca
40 billion LNPs for Moderna
and likely 10 to 12 billion for Pfizer
Due to a lack of good manufacturing process checks, there maybe a variable amount of intact messenger RNA in each LNP , “… but even if we agree to only 1 (modRNA strand), and that each one produces 1000 spike protein (due to the persistence of N1-methyl pseudouridine), we are talking your body having to deal with a minimum 30 trillion pathogenic spike proteins2 in a few months time”
When you say: 50 billion viral vectors for AstraZeneca 40 billion LNPs for Moderna and likely 10 to 12 billion for Pfizer I think there is a mistake by a factor of 1,000.
The Moderna contains 40*10^12 LNPs, to the best of my knowledge (Pfizer 12*10^12). This equates to 40/12 trillion in short scale. At first I thought you were using long scale (10^12=1 billion); however, that would not fit with the AZ numbers. AZ has 50*10^9, which would be 1 milliard in long scale. I believe these numbers to be correct (https://evolutionaryhealthplan.info/#_Ref83404023 )
"It is my thought" that the carbon particles are inert and that only by 5G transmission can they be activated, when the Trillions of inert Carbon Particles are changed into Carbon Hydroxide, which are minature razors, too small to see without an Electron Microscope, which in turn chop up your insides and inside your Organs shutting them down and killing you, possibly over 4 days and the reason for your new MAC address:
Find your MAC address with Apple: BT Explorer. Android: Inpersona - or both with Bluetooth.
SO - those behind these vaccines can implement them whenever they like and there is nothing we can do to stop them, except publish these bio weapons, their intention and hold those behind them to ransom - if you do this, we will do that to you, because we know who you are and where you live.
Thus the Great Reset was a huge success, because once in, the vaccine contents can't be taken out again can they?
President Trump declared a national emergency in March 2020, making the pandemic eligible for government action under the Defense Production Act.
President Trump said he invoked the Defense Production Act more than 100 times to facilitate Operation Warp Speed.
President Trump for the US Army, purchased Pfizer's vaccines on 21st July 2020. Trump was "the only person with the authority he gave himself", to be able to do that with his "Operation Warp Speed".

The Department Of The Army US Army Contracting Command – New Jersey Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey 07806-5000 for a Large Scale Vaccine Manufacturing Demonstration (Pfizer, Inc) for the total approved cost to the Government for $1,950,097,500.00
You will find Operation Warp Speed mentioned in that contract, in the 3rd paragraph down.
I was surprised to find in paragraph 4 that Pfizer is a small business and that Operation Warp Speed is a prototype project. Is Pfizer doing this in the garage like Mr Gates did his business?
Pfizer is now a huge business with billions earned from their vaccines world wide - BionTech who owns the patent for the Covid ModRNA DNA vaccines which it licences to Pfizer, is probably a small research lab, because the husband and wife team is all they need to concoct more poisons to inflict on the willing who queue up in their billions to volunteer to have them, through Pfizer.
