In this week's episode of This Week in AML, Elliot Berman and John Byrne unpack the latest regulatory developments. They begin with FinCEN Director Andrea Gacki's recent testimony before the House Financial Services Committee, highlighting key takeaways on beneficial ownership data, SAR/CTR streamlining, and real estate's role in money laundering. The conversation then shifts to new FinCEN guidance on geographically targeted MSB reporting and financially motivated sextortion.

Natalie Edwards And The FinCen Files Leak That Exposed The Banks Dark Money Schemes

Natalie Edwards, a former senior official at FinCEN (the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network), admitted to leaking thousands of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) to BuzzFeed News and journalist Jason Leopold between October 2017 and October 2018. These documents enabled investigative reporting—later labeled the FinCEN Files—which exposed how international banks facilitated dirty money flows while regulators often failed to act on warnings concealed in the confidential reports. Edwards claimed she first pursued internal whistleblower channels within the Treasury but later provided documents to the media because she believed more transparency was urgently needed.In 2021, Edwards was sentenced to six months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy for unauthorized disclosure of SARs. Her defense painted her actions as rooted in duty and morality—she said she “could not stand by aimlessly” while seeing evidence of wrongdoing, and emphasized that whistleblower protections and internal reporting had failed to adequately address her concerns. However, prosecutors countered that Edwards acted recklessly and did not show sufficient remorse. Her case stirred debate over how whistleblowers are treated, particularly those who leak classified or confidential documents to the media.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/06/10/opinion/fincen-buzzfeed-edwards-prison.amp.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

We're down to the knockout stages of the Cork club hurling championships after a bumper three days of brilliant matches with a mix of superb performances and some shocks. Glen Rovers and Sarsfields served up a top-class Premier Senior encounter live on TG4 despite both teams being qualified beforehand, with young gun Barry O'Flynn's two goals proving critical. Sars now progress to a showdown with Charleville. Patrick Horgan offered a reminder of his brilliance with a haul of 2-10 and the Glen take on Midleton in the quarter-finals. Carrigtwohill continue to be the form team in the Senior A tier after stitching four first-half goals to end Killeagh's campaign. Brothers Sean and Patrick Walsh are lifting for Denis Walsh's side. There was an upset where high-flying Bride Rovers were grounded by their near-neighbours Watergrasshill, who missed on the knockout stages on scoring difference despite two wins in the group. At Premier Intermediate, Dungourney are the only unbeaten club after Jack Leahy led their comeback in a cracking derby with Lisgoold. Ger Collins and Darragh O'Sullivan clipped the late points for Ballinhassig to beat Kilworth and snatch the other semi-final berth at that level. Aghada are on song at Intermediate A with Kilbrittain straight into the semis at Premier Junior. Huge credit must go to Sars and Glen Rovers' second teams, who also secured seeding at Intermediate A and Premier Junior respectively. It's a huge weekend on the club football front with the last group games taking place and we pick out the matches to catch in the various grades. Douglas and Ballincollig collide for qualification in the Premier Senior Football grade, Carbery Rangers and Clon will meet to avoid a relegation playoff, and all four teams in the Senior A group with Éire Óg, Kanturk, Kilshannig and Newmarket are tied on a win apiece.

This segment unpacks a series of controversial events, beginning with the release of the Epstein documents and the surprising reaction from the administration. The host questions why, despite an attorney's past testimony that the administration had been helpful, the entire scandal was labeled a "hoax" as victims were speaking. The discussion expands to the broader political and legal battles surrounding the Epstein case, including the role of a congressional committee and the potential significance of "SARS reports." The segment then abruptly pivots to a new, equally contentious topic: the end of all vaccine mandates in Florida and the ensuing backlash. The host connects these seemingly unrelated issues, arguing that both are part of a larger, ongoing conflict against established institutions and public trust.

Suspicious Activity Reports, or SARs, are confidential filings that financial institutions are legally required to send to the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) whenever they detect transactions that may indicate money laundering, fraud, sanctions evasion, or other criminal activity. They're not evidence of a crime by themselves, but rather red flags—signals that something looks off. Banks, casinos, brokerages, and even crypto platforms file them routinely, and once submitted, they're closely guarded, unavailable to the public, and protected by strict “no tipping off” rules. Law enforcement uses SARs to trace illicit networks, connect patterns across different institutions, and build out investigations into everything from drug cartels and terrorist cells to human trafficking and large-scale fraud schemes.Now those same reports sit at the center of a political firestorm. House Oversight Chair James Comer has formally requested that the Treasury Department turn over all SARs connected to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. His demand signals an attempt to pull back the veil on what banks flagged about Epstein's vast financial web—wires, transfers, shell accounts, and potential facilitators. If granted, the request could provide Congress with a rare inside look at the money trails behind Epstein's operations, though it also raises thorny questions about confidentiality, precedent, and how much of this intelligence should be made public.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Comer requests Epstein, Maxwell records from Treasury Secretary | Fox News

In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: ✨Independence Party members in Reykjavík city council suggested that Reykjavík should design it's own “Peace Flag” and use that instead of flags such as the Ukrainian flag or the Palestinian flag when condemning war and showing support. Sólveig Anna Jónsdóttir, the chairman of Efling, the largest union in Iceland called the suggestion “woke” and useless, and went on to talk about Yoko Ono's artwork in Viðey Island, the Peace Tower, as also woke and useless. ✨The ATM heist in Mosfellsbær has been solved. The perpetrator — a man in his forties — has confessed to stealing the ATM, which was found late last week near where it was stolen, in Hólmsheiði. The 22 million ISK in cash in the ATM were still there. The man in question also confessed to stealing bags of cash in Kópavogur last year, and is furthermore a witness in the so called Þorlákshöfn case.✨The Independence Party has put forth a new chairman of their parliamentary party. The new chairman is Ólafur Adolfsson, a new MP. He'll be replacing Hildur Sverrisdóttir, who oversaw this springs historical filibuster. This change has been publicly celebrated by members of the ruling coalition. The new chairman has said that the public is “tired of filibustering”. ✨A cat was rescued from a Tesla in Seltjarnarnes this weekend. The owner of the car had apparently locked himself out of the car, and the cat in the car, and was — when the police arrived on the scene — trying to open up the Tesla using different methods. The police helped the owner to open up the back of the car and getting to the cat by removing parts of the front of the car to get to the luggage storage, gave the cat some dried fish to calm it down, and finally rescued it.✨The coast guard's helicopter picked up a woman with a broken bone, by Glymur waterfall in Hvalfjöður, west Iceland, on Saturday. Furthermore, on Saturday, the SARS conducted an extensive search in Grímsnes looking for a 12 year old boy, who was visiting Iceland with his family.

Title 31 of the U.S. Code mandates banks to conduct due diligence on high-value accounts and timely report suspicious transactions via Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). In Epstein's case, investigations reveal that major banks—like JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank—processed vast and unusual transactions tied to him with significant delays or not at all. Senator Ron Wyden cited internal bank records showing one bank flagged more than $170 million flowing to Epstein, but only reported it seven years late, long after Epstein's death in 2019. SARs involving installments up to $100 million and Russian-linked wire transfers reportedly went undisclosed or underreported, suggesting systemic circumvention of Title 31 requirements.These failures weren't just clerical missteps—they represented institutional lapses in AML enforcement. Deutsche Bank was fined $150 million in 2020 for ignoring red flags and maintaining numerous Epstein-linked accounts well into 2019, despite clear indicators of his illicit activities. Compliance officers reportedly raised concerns, only to be overridden by bank executives, allowing Epstein's atypical cash movements and hidden financial networks to persist unchallenged until after media scrutiny intensified.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/brutal-rebuke-of-deutsche-bank-raises-serious-questions-about-one-of-jeffrey-epsteins-lawyers/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Nobody was hurt, but SARS also had to help a group of motorcyclists off the mountain road, due to heavy winds. The weather on Friday also brought a thunderstorm to the west of Iceland. A rarity. ✨Egilsstaðir, a town in east Iceland saw the the thermostat reach 29,8 celsius on Saturday. That is the highest temperature recorded in Iceland this century, though it still does not pass the all time record of just over 30 degrees, recorded - also in the east - in 1939.✨A boulder fell on the the ring road road south of Eyjafjallajökull, in south of Iceland on Sunday. This spring, in the same area, a boulder hit a car, killing a woman who was visiting Iceland. The locals have for long complained about the safety of that stretch of road, but so far nothing has been done to amend it.✨Third of Icelanders pay for Spotify and the platform is almost responsible for 100% of streaming in Iceland. The Chairman of STEF (Composers' Rights Society of Iceland), Páll Ragnar Pálsson says STEF is not planning on withdrawing the the catalog of Icelandic music from the service, and points out individual artists can do that. He says that STEF is working with other composers' rights societies abroad in order to try to put some pressure on Spotify. But because of what? There are three reasons, first, the extremely low revenues that artists get for streaming. Second, the numerous fake artists that also skim money from streaming on Spotify, and which in some cases seems to have happened with Spotify's consent, and third, the recent move of Spotify's CEO into weapons development and manufacturing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

Carrigtwohill and Bride Rovers backed up their first-round victories but Na Piarsaigh are under pressure having lost twice.We look at the controversy at Intermediate A with Aghada appealing to the Munster Council after a scoreline controversy saw their opener with Kildorrery deemed a draw when they believed they should have won by two points.We also pick a Hurler of the Week.Anthony Spillane was the front-runner as the standout club hurler across the weekend in burying an incredible 4-4 from play as Castlelyons defeated Ballyhea. There were other star turns as well though.Mark Coleman ran the show for Blarney in their bounce-back victory over Watergrasshill, finishing as top-scorer but also playmaker supreme in an emphatic victory. Micheál Mullins is adapting to life at Glen Rovers smoothly as he clipped 0-4 from play against Fr O'Neill's.Blackrock's success was based on work-rate, balance and strength in depth but Niall Cashman's power at midfield was critical. Sars hit Erin's Own for 4-30 but Cork panellist Jack O'Connor contributed 1-8 from play of that.We pick the matches to catch from round two of the football championships.Now in its third season, every week Éamonn Murphy will be joined by The Echo team including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, Jack McKay, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.You can listen to the Echo Sport Podcast every week wherever you get your podcasts or on www.echolive.ie/podcast.

The Credibility of Inflation Targets

Can a central bank simply announce an inflation target and get everyone to believe it? Our Global Economist Arunima Sinha looks at the cases of South Africa and Brazil to explain why it's a subject of decades-long debate. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Arunima Sinha: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Arunima Sinha, Global Economist at Morgan Stanley. Today I'm going to talk about how inflation targets of central banks matter for market participants and economic activity.It's Tuesday, August 12th at 10am in New York. Tariff driven inflation is at the center of financial market debates right now. The received wisdom is that a central bank should look through one-off increases in prices if – and it is an important if – inflation expectations are anchored low enough. Inflation targets, inflation expectations, and central bank credibility have been debated for decades. The Fed's much criticized view that COVID inflation would be transitory was based on the assumption that anchored inflation expectations would pull inflation down. The Fed is more cautious now after four years of above target inflation. Can a central bank simply announce an inflation target and get everyone to believe it? Far away from the U.S., the South Africa Reserve Bank, SARB, is providing a real time experiment. The SARB's inflation target was originally a range of 3 to 6 per cent, with an intention to shift to 2 to 4 percent over time. At its last meeting, the SARB announced that it was going to target the bottom end of the range, de facto shifting to a 3 percent target. A decision by the Ministry of Finance in the coming months is likely necessary to formalise the outcome, but the SARB has succeeded in pulling inflation down. It has established credibility, but we suspect that more work is needed to anchor inflation expectations firmly at 3 percent. Key to the SARS challenge, as the Fed's – the central bank cannot control all the drivers of inflation in the short run. For South Africa, fiscal targets and exchange rate movements are prime examples. The experience in Brazil offers insight for South Africa. The BCB adopted an inflation target in 1999 following the end of the currency peg that helps the transition away from hyperinflation. The target was initially set at 8 percent, lowered to 4.5 percent in 2005, and then lowered again to 3 percent in 2024.Fiscal outcomes, market expectations, and currency volatility have been hard to contain. The lessons apply to South Africa and also the Fed. Successful inflation targeting relies on a clear framework, but also on institutional strength and political consensus. For South Africa, as inflation falls ex-ante real interest rates will rise. That outcome will be necessary to restrain the economy enough to make sure that the path to 3 percent is achieved. For an open EM economy, there likely needs to be consistency by both monetary and fiscal authorities with regard to short-term pressures, both internal and external. While we ultimately expect the SARB to be able to anchor inflation expectations, the journey may not be a quick one; and that journey will likely depend on keeping real interest rates on the higher side to ensure the convergence.We take the experiences of South Africa and Brazil to be informative globally. Simply announcing an inflation target likely does not solve the problem. The Fed, for example, spent much of the 2010s hoping to get inflation up to target – while now ironically, inflation in the US has run above target for almost half a decade. Whether the lingering effects of the COVID inflation has affected the price setting mechanism is unclear, as is whether tariff driven inflation will exacerbate the situation. Our read of the evidence is that inflation expectations and central bank credibility come from hitting the target, not from announcing it. Thanks for listening.

Alan Sim, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's chief data officer, announced his departure from the agency after nearly five years in the position, per a post he wrote on social media Monday. Sim took on the role of chief data officer in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic and over the years has been a leader on initiatives such as the agency's generative AI projects. Reflecting on his time, Sim pointed to several “firsts” the agency achieved, including launching its enterprise data catalog and using data and cloud technologies to improve emergency response. “It is with mixed emotions that I announce my departure from the CDC,” Sim wrote in a post to LinkedIn. His time as CDC's data leader was his second run at the agency. Sim, who has a PhD in epidemiology, had also been a graduate fellow and then a health informatics scientist at CDC early on in his career in the late 90s to the early 2000s. In his post, Sim said that period was “defined by concerns like bioterrorism, Anthrax, and SARS.” “Returning in 2020 as CDC's Chief Data Officer during the worst pandemic in our nation's history was both a significant challenge and a profound opportunity,” Sim said. Sim didn't include details about his next steps but said he would be sharing more soon. It is unclear who the acting CDO is in his absence. The General Services Administration struck a deal with Oracle as part of its OneGov strategy to provide a variety of cheaper services to federal agencies, including a 75% discount for license-based Oracle Technology Programs. Under OneGov, GSA wants to work directly with original equipment manufacturers like Oracle to negotiate better governmentwide terms for commercial technology. On top of the 75% discount for licensed technology such as database, integration, security, and analytics services, Oracle will also offer “substantial base discounts” for its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services, GSA announced Monday. Oracle is now the latest of several technology vendors, including Adobe, Google, Salesforce and others, to negotiate a OneGov deal with GSA. This deal, however, comes with some additional terms beyond discounts that stand to benefit federal agencies as they modernize their IT infrastructures. In particular, Oracle won't charge data egress fees when agencies move their “existing workloads from Oracle Government Clouds to another cloud service provider's FedRAMP Moderate, High or DOD IL 4, 5 Cloud,” GSA said in its release. The company will also promote pricing parity with other competing commercial cloud providers, “with no additional security or government uplifts ever charged in the Oracle cloud.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

A hidden killer lurks in the humble dust of forgotten cabins and outbuildings across America. World-renowned virologist Dr. Thomas Ksiazek takes us behind the scenes of the landmark 1993 Four Corners outbreak, where hantavirus first emerged on the national stage, claiming lives with a swift and devastating pulmonary syndrome unlike anything seen before in North America.With over four decades on the frontlines of viral discovery and outbreak response, Dr. Ksiazek shares the detective story of how his team at the CDC identified Sin Nombre ("no name") virus by drawing on their unique expertise with Asian hantaviruses. He explains the ecological cascade that triggers cyclical rodent population explosions, creating perfect conditions for spillover into human communities.The conversation turns chillingly relevant as we discuss recent high-profile cases, including the tragic February 2024 death of Betsy Arakawa Hackman, and a cluster of deaths in Mammoth Lakes, California. Dr. Ksiazek explains why spring cleaning poses a particular risk when disturbing rodent-contaminated areas, and why conventional treatments often prove ineffective against the rapid progression of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome.As both a co-discoverer of the original SARS coronavirus and a veteran of countless global outbreaks, Dr. Ksiazek offers profound wisdom on what makes outbreak responses succeed or fail. His insights on the critical importance of early detection and international cooperation carry urgent lessons for our pandemic-weary world. Whether you're a scientist, healthcare worker, or simply someone who might one day clean out a dusty cabin, this episode delivers potentially life-saving knowledge about a persistent threat hiding in plain sight.Thanks for listening to the Infectious Science Podcast.

For Helen Branswell, the celebrated Stat News reporter, the SARS outbreak of 2003, while she was based in Toronto, was a thunderclap moment. Jump forward 22 years: Secretary Kennedy on May 28, posted a one-minute video on X announcing he is not recommending Covid vaccines for healthy children and pregnant women -- an “unprecedented” unilateral decision without any normal process. “It came out of the mind of the individuals who wrote it.” What does this bold step signal?  The public is voting with its feet in the low uptake of Covid vaccines by the older and more vulnerable population. Yet it is not clear why the government has to take active measures to make vaccines less available to healthy individuals. CDC should play a lead role in deliberations but is cut out. The CDC director position is vacant, and no acting director is in place.  Will vaccine producers need to run new field trials for updated boosters? “They (the Trump administration) have been quite unclear in what they are asking for.”127 days into the second Trump administration, how to characterize things?  “I would characterize it as exhausting.”  “The change has been massive, and it is not over.”  What gives you hope? “That is a very hard question.”

Air-Borne: the Hidden History of the Air We Breathe by Carl Zimmer charts the history of the field of aerobiology:  the science dealing with airborne microorganisms.  In this episode, we discover the story of two lost pioneers of the 1930s, physician and self-taught epidemiologist Mildred Weeks Wells and her husband sanitary engineer William Firth Wells, who proved that infectious diseases could be spread long distances through the air. But the pair had a reputation as outsiders and they failed to convince the scientific establishment, who ignored their findings for decades. What the pair figured out could have saved many lives from tuberculosis, SARS, COVID, and other airborne diseases. Mildred and her husband's contributions have been all but erased from history — until now. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

The scientific method involves observation, questioning, forming hypotheses, testing predictions and altering theories to align with results; it is not the altering of results to align with a hypothesis.  There are three acceptable narratives about COVID-19: a wet mart (official), 5G (conspiracy), and laboratory leak (alternative). Whereas the https://www.science.org/content/article/cia-bribed-its-own-covid-19-origin-team-reject-lab-leak-theory-anonymous-whistleblower to reject the lab theory, https://apnews.com/article/covid-cia-trump-china-pandemic-lab-leak-9ab7e84c626fed68ca13c8d2e453dde1 explanation. This announcement was made just days after the former President regained the White House. As of April 2025, the https://www.whitehouse.gov/lab-leak-true-origins-of-covid-19/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJv5wdleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHrhaCm1LYQx2UbG8uGLw5gkhCvB3N4a2gNrAgdarT7Z6C-XKZijSXHb3PctU_aem_hUJWc6XJ_Gfj14AvDa1VSA as “the true origins of COVID-19.”  This new official designation means that at one time or another two totally different explanations were given, ultimately with the consequence of censorship and ridicule if a person thought or said anything different. Both explanations still result in justufciaotn for past, and future, measures such as: social distancing, masking, https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/04/end-hygiene-theater/618576/ as a form of a theater, vaccines, etc.  Prior to the recent shift in narratives, undercover video reportedly proved that Pfizer was indeed conducing gain of function research in a laboratory. But that lab was not a viral facility or a Wuhan institute; instead, it was a computer lab. In fact, https://www.pfizer.com/news/announcements/pfizer-responds-research-claims stating: “With a naturally evolving virus, it is important to routinely assess the activity of an antiviral. Most of this work is conducted using computer simulations…” Such computer simulations were used to predict mass casualties from COVID, too, and are the same ones being employed for Climate Change narratives. But what is COVID-19 or the virus designated SARS-COV-2. It is a list or complex of symptoms that are classified into categories of disease. Examination of COVID's symptoms prove they are nearly identical to the common cold and flu, among others. In fact, the https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/a-sharp-drop-in-flu-cases-during-covid-19-pandemic/. According to Harvard, this was the result of “wearing masks and distancing,” though they did not explain how such measures stopped the flu but not SARS-COV-2. Consider these three sets of symptoms from the CDC website: https://www.cdc.gov/common-cold/about/index.html: runny nose or nasal congestion, cough, sneezing, sore throat, headache, mild body aches, fever.https://www.cdc.gov/flu/signs-symptoms/index.html: runny or stuffy nose, cough, sore throat, headaches, muscle or body aches, fatigue, fever, and vomiting or diarrhea.  https://www.cdc.gov/covid/signs-symptoms/index.html: congestion or runny nose, cough, sore throat, headache, muscle or body aches, fatigue, fever or chills, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea.  The only distinct symptoms of COVID were “shortness of breath or difficulty breathing” and “new loss of taste or smell.” The first symptom is already https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm in the United States - chronic lower respiratory disease. Since COVID was first tested CLRD has been bumped to sixth, though many of these respiratory deaths have been listed as COVID. In other words, what would have been diagnosed as CLRD was categorized instead as COVID-19. This is the same reason flu nearly disappeared as reported cases. These breathing problems were, within the COVID diagnosis, themselves sub-categorized as COVID-Pneumonia, and https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24002-covid-pneumonia.   The second symptom of losing a senes of taste or smell varied between total loss and partial loss, something that also occurs with the common cold and flu. This distinct and often promoted https://www.healthline.com/health-news/who-is-most-likely-to-lose-their-sense-of-smell-and-taste-from-covid-19, and even so only involved some often minor or unspecified form of loss.  Thus we can determine that between 15-37% of COVID cases had “distinct” symptoms arguably different than the overall symptoms that classify cold or flu, which means at liberal estimates over two thirds of COVID cases were nothing more than a case of the cold or flu. When defining what caused these other symptoms, we know recategorized pneumonia was one. But what about other causes that resulted in loss of senses?  Other than injuries or inflammation, often caused by what we call allergies, https://www.livestrong.com/article/13731552-food-suddenly-tastes-different/ and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27178656/, as can neurological disorders. Other than the obvious and physical, there is also the psychological. Anxiety and stress are well known to alter sense perceptions, including https://www.calmclinic.com/anxiety/signs/smell and https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10668578/. Consider how much anxiety and stress were cultivated by 24-hour coverage of cases, deaths, symptoms, videos from China, etc., and how wiling the public was to adopt any perceptually legal or even illogical dictate for the purposes of keeping themselves and others “safe.” There is a long history of such mass psychogenic pathogen.Much of this fear was generated by variant names like “KRAKEN,” a mythical monster, as was https://www.unmc.edu/healthsecurity/transmission/2023/09/19/meet-the-man-who-named-covids-new-variants/ who likewise believed this naming heightened the public's perception of a terror they should be feeling. Such fear became so intense that one analysis suggested that COVID activated “archetypes of evil” and thus “added psychological suffering.” The study suggested: “Fear and grief caused by the pandemic have produced a powerful unconscious narrative in the collective psyche that the coronavirus is driven by an https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8441919/. The resulting archetypal dimension of fear causes an extra layer of psychological suffering in individuals.”  Such mythical, theological, and even magical terms were not lost in the New England Journal of Medicine which openly declared in 2020 that masks were little more than talismans: “Masks are not only tools, https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2006372...” A spirit or demon possessing a body is an impure form that makes one sick. Items such as crosses or holy water are employed in its exorcism - to exercise/exorcise the demon and make healthy again - along with the name of the unclean. The same is done today in modern vaccine administration. The holy water is replaced by a vaccine vial, the cross is replaced by a syringe and plunger, the demon's name is replaced by the variant or virus name, and the ritual robes are replaced by white lab coats.  The pandemic was not about a virus and a distinct set of symptoms. Instead it was about inducing archetypical fear and https://www.weforum.org/stories/2020/10/the-rich-got-richer-during-the-pandemic-and-that-s-a-daunting-sign-for-our-recovery/. It was at best https://www.history.com/articles/mysterious-illnesses-mass-hysteria, in the middle a conspiracy of fraud and psychological terror, and at worst a dark magical ritual to induce trauma.  Further evidence of the fraud can be found in reports like this one from the New York Times that discuss the ultra amplification of PCR testing cycles from the low 30s to the mid 40s -“https://absa.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/NYT-200829-Your-Coronavirus-Test.pdf” - “In three sets of testing data that include cycle thresholds, compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90 percent of people testing positive carried barely any virus…In Massachusetts, from 85 to 90 percent of people who tested positive in July with a cycle threshold of 40 would have been deemed negative if the threshold were 30 cycles.”  Even ‘true' positive tests do not indicate symptoms or disease, or the future development of such, which brings us back to the White House website and the statement about the lab leak: “The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature.” This may be true, as per whatever is being assumed to exist, or observed under a microscope, or played with in a computer model, yet it does not prove any disease, especially in https://abcnews.go.com/Health/covid-transmission-asymptomatic/story?id=84599810. *The is the FREE archive.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.
