Pfizer and Other Sociopaths
Pfizer would have been arguably breaking U.S. law had it taken account of warning signs on the ‘safety and efficacy’ of its Covid injections. Despite the compelling evidence of government complicity, many will still resist the implication that governments and media are co-complicit in the deaths of thousands of innocent people. And in light of recent disclosures forced on the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), some will argue that ‘murder’ might be appropriate. FDA complicity can be traced to August 23, 2021, with a press release “FDA Approves First COVID-19 Vaccine”.

What’s Up in 2025?
Before reviewing the things that we know will happen this year, let me revisit some unfinished business from 2024. In March, I blogged about T Coronae Borealis, a recurrent nova that erupts about every 80 years. T CrB normally is far too faint to be seen with the naked eye, but when it erupts, T CrB is about as bright as the North Star for a night or two. There were some indications that 2024 was going to be the year T CrB would erupt (the last time was in 1946), with the eruption most likely happening by September 2024. Well, it didn’t happen. That makes it more likely that T CrB will brighten in 2025.
