Brasília parliamentarian and Florida Spac executive are behind deal with ex-president’s Truth start-up
(Financial Times) A central figure in former US President Donald Trump’s bid to create a new social media platform is a Brazilian parliamentarian and self-proclaimed prince who has campaigned to restore elements of the monarchy that ended with the overthrow of Emperor Pedro II in 1889.
Luiz Philippe of Orléans-Braganza was elected to Brazil’s National Congress three years ago, and has put forward the idea of creating an unelected head of state with powers to veto the legislature’s decisions. He is a crucial ally of Brazil’s far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro.
Media reports in Brazil often refer to Orléans-Braganza simply as “O Príncipe”, or “the prince”. His political identity leans heavily on ancestral ties to Brazil’s last emperor, who ascended to the throne at the age of five and reigned for more than half a century.
Orléans-Braganza’s royal title is not mentioned, however, in securities filings for the business venture where he serves as chief financial officer: a “blank cheque” acquisition company that on Wednesday agreed to merge with Trump Media & Technology Group. Orléans-Braganza did not respond to a request for comment.
Trump’s deal with Digital World Acquisition Corporation could provide hundreds of millions of dollars for his social media start-up. It could also create the conditions for a political resurrection.
The former president’s contribution to the US public discourse has diminished since January 6. Now he is aiming to launch his own platform, named Truth Social, “to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech”. “We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favourite American President has been silenced,” Trump wrote in a statement. “I am excited to send out my first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon.”
The merger with Trump Media was agreed with impressive speed. Under the securities rules that govern Spacs, Orléans-Braganza’s company was required to certify that it did not have an acquisition target in mind at the time of its IPO on September 8.
Only six weeks later, Digital World announced a deal to put its cash reserve at the disposal of Trump’s new venture, which aims to create “the first major rival to ‘Big Tech’” by countering “liberal bias” and creating a “‘non-cancellable’ global community”.
Truth is not yet available for download. A page on Apple’s App Store promises that it will include standard features of social media apps, such as notifications, profile pictures, and a message feed. A presentation posted on the company’s website envisages an “inclusive ‘big-tent’ approach” where “all are welcome”, but also pledges to “[galvanize] a conservative media universe”.
Regardless of how the venture takes shape, the hedge funds that provided Digital World’s cash stand to make a risk-free return. Investors in Spac IPOs have a right to redeem their shares at a premium rather than going along with any deal.
Some of Digital World’s early backers have done far better than that by selling into the runaway rally that followed the announcement of the Trump deal. Trading was so brisk on Thursday that a volume of shares equivalent to the company’s entire share capital changed hands multiple times, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, at values that reached as high as 4.5 times the price in last month’s IPO.
For those who bought in at $94.20, the price at Friday’s close, the chance of making a profit depends largely on Trump’s ability to turn initial financing of a few hundred million dollars into a social media enterprise commanding a valuation in the billions.
If Trump succeeds, one of the biggest winners will be Patrick Orlando, a Florida-based financial executive whose little-known firm, ARC Global Investments II LLC, put up $25,000 to buy a stake in the blank cheque company. Orlando owns about 17.8 per cent of Digital World, according to a September 8 regulatory filing — a stake that was worth more than $600m on Friday.
Digital World portrays Orlando as a seasoned financial executive whose “25-year career . . . covers all aspects related to special purpose acquisition corporations”. Securities filings list him as having senior roles at three other blank-cheque vehicles, including Yunhong International, a Wuhan, China-based shell company initially set up by local businessman Yubao Li. None of those companies has yet completed an acquisition.
Before turning to Spacs, Orlando served as chief technical officer at Pure Biofuels Corporation, whose turbulent existence illustrates the risks of speculative stock market ventures.
Incorporated in 2003, Pure Biofuels raised millions from investors to finance the construction of a biodiesel processing plant in Lima, Peru. The company had not generated any significant revenue by the time Orlando left in 2011, and was later dissolved.
Orlando returned to the US and began working for BT Capital Markets, a boutique Miami investment bank where, according to court filings, he worked on a $115m deal to finance a fleet of tugboats purchased by Venezuela’s state-owned oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela.
On Friday, before breaking for the weekend, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), introduced several articles of impeachment against lawless Joe Biden and “his willingness to use his position of power to aid his son Hunter Biden.”
MTG also introduced articles of impeachment against Joe Biden for the open southern border with Mexico, his illegal move to continue the COVID eviction rule.
Reports that Dr. Anthony Fauci’s division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) partially funded an experiment of insects eating beagle puppies alive has sparked bipartisan outrage on Capitol Hill.
Responding to a report from the non-profit organization White Coat Waste Project, both Democrats and Republicans signed a letter this week demanding to know why the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases – one of the 27 institutes under the NIH – partially funded an experiment that locked beagles’ heads in cages while hordes of hungry sandflies ate them alive.
According to The Hill, the beagles were infected with “disease-causing parasites to test an experimental drug on them.” The experiment transpired in a Tunisia, North Africa laboratory where as many as 44 beagle puppies endured what Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) referred to as a “cruel” and “reprehensible misuse of taxpayer funds.”

To eliminate incessant barking, the beagle puppies also had their vocal cords removed.
“Our investigators show that Fauci’s NIH division shipped part of a $375,800 grant to a lab in Tunisia to drug beagles and lock their heads in mesh cages filled with hungry sand flies so that the insects could eat them alive,” White Coat Waste told Changing America. “They also locked beagles alone in cages in the desert overnight for nine consecutive nights to use them as bait to attract infectious sand flies.”
The White Coat Waste Project claims that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not require drugs to be tested on dogs.
The following lawmakers signed Rep. Mace’s letter:

Cliff Bentz (R-OR)
Steve Cohen (D-TN)
Rick Crawford (R-AK)
Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA)
Scott Franklin (R-FL)

Neither Dr. Anthony Fauci nor the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has responded to the White Coat Waste Project report.
This past week, a letter from NIH to House Oversight Committee Ranking Member James Comer (R-KY) showed that the institute did fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through a grant awarded to Eco-Health Alliance.
The National Institutes of Health quietly changed the definition of “gain-of-function” amid fallout from revelations concerning Dr. Anthony Fauci’s funding of dangerous coronavirus experiments at a laboratory in Wuhan, China.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) quietly changed the definition of “gain-of-function” research on their official website. This comes amid fallout from Dr. Fauci’s Wuhan Lab scandal, in which it was discovered that he funded novel coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China prior to the outbreak of coronavirus, a move that many experts – including Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) have said could make him “culpable for the entire pandemic.”
The new definition downplays the risks associated with “gain-of-function” experiments and largely focuses on other research.
As recently as Oct. 19, the NIH defined “gain-of-function” experiments as “a type of research that modifies a biological agent so that it confers new or enhanced activity to that agent.” The NIH noted that “This research poses biosafety and biosecurity risks,” and warned that “these risks must be carefully managed. ”
“When supported with NIH funds,” the old definition explained, “this subset of GOF research may only be conducted in laboratories with stringent oversight and appropriate biosafety and biosecurity controls to help protect researchers from infection and prevent the release of microorganisms into the environment.”
The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland
The new definition downplays the concept of gain-of-function and largely focuses on “enhanced potential pandemic pathogen” (ePPP) research.
“While ePPP research is a type of so-called ‘gain-of-function’ (GOF) research,” the revised definition explains, “the vast majority of GOF research does not involve ePPP and falls outside the scope of oversight required for research involving ePPPs.”
Federal health agencies appear to have a habit of changing the definitions of words associated with widely discussed, hot-button issues related to COVID-19.
In early September, National File reported that the Center for Disease Control (CDC) had quietly changed the definition of “vaccine” as more and more individuals continued to get infected with coronavirus despite being vaccinated.
On August 26, 2021, the definition of “vaccine” on the CDC website was “a product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease.” The definition of “vaccination” at that time was “the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.”
As of yesterday, the new definition of “vaccine” on the CDC website is “a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.” The definition of “vaccination” describes “the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease.”
The National School Board Association’s board of directors disavowed a letter it sent late last month to President Joe Biden that asked the Department of Justice to look into acts of domestic terrorism at local school board meetings.
The board in its apology wrote, “to be clear, the safety of school board members, other public school officials, and students is our top priority, and there remains important work to be done on this issue. However, there was no justification for some of the language included in the letter.”
“We deeply value not only the work of local school boards that make important contributions within our communities, but also the voices of parents, who should and must continue to be heard when it comes to decisions about their children’s education, health, and safety,” they added.
In emails obtained by Parents Defending Education earlier this week, board members wrote that they were not aware of the language used in the Sept. 29 letter which stated that parents who did not want their children learning about critical race theory or who were against mask mandates were equated with “a form of domestic terrorism,” according to the New York Post.
Chinese and Russian warships held their first-ever joint patrol in the western Pacific Ocean this weekend
The two countries’ cooperation comes as their relationship with the West is at its lowest since the Cold War
The manoeuvres were in the Tsugaru Strait separating Japan’s main island and its northern one of Hokkaido
Japan watched the naval movements closely in the Strait, which is regarded as international waters
Chinese and Russian warships held their first-ever joint patrol in the western part of the Pacific Ocean this weekend.
Moscow and Beijing, which staged naval cooperation drills in the Sea of Japan earlier in October, have cultivated closer military and diplomatic ties in recent years at a time when their relations with the West have soured.
The naval manoeuvres were watched closely by Japan, which said earlier this week that a group of ten vessels from China and Russia sailed through the Tsugaru Strait that separates Japan’s main island of Honshu and its northern one of Hokkaido.
Russia’s defence ministry confirmed the two global superpowers had been working together in the Strait, which is regarded as international waters.
‘The group of ships passed through the Tsugaru Strait for the first time as part of the patrol,’ Russia’s defence ministry said in a statement.
It added: ‘The tasks of the patrols were the demonstration of the Russian and Chinese state flags, maintaining of peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region and guardianship of the subjects of maritime economic activities of the two countries.’
It comes as Vladimir Putin showed off Russia‘s military strength to the world last week with a huge ‘invasion’ war games staged in the Black Sea near Ukraine.
More than 40 Russian vessels and 30-plus military planes and 20 helicopters took part in exercises in Crimea, with missile launches, practice bombings and landings by amphibious forces.
The display will likely only heighten tensions after it emerged that China tested a hypersonic nuclear-capable missile this week.
The missile is able to strike almost anywhere in the world, which experts warned suggested Beijing’s arsenal was more advanced than previously thought.
Counterbalancing the threat posed by China and Russia is the Aukus alliance forged by the US, UK and Australia last month.
Warships from those countries sailed through the Bay of Bengal this week on the fleet’s way back from a deployment in the South China Sea, led by the Royal Navy’s flagship £3billion carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth.
Alec Baldwin fatally shot a cinematographer on a New Mexico film set with a gun a crew member had assured the actor was safe, a tragic mistake that came hours and days after some workers walked off the job to protest safety conditions and other production issues.
An assistant director, Dave Halls, grabbed a prop gun off a cart at a desert movie ranch and handed it to Baldwin during a Thursday rehearsal for the Western film “Rust,” according to court records made public Friday.
“Cold gun,” Halls yelled, declaring the weapon didn’t carry live ammunition and was ready to fire.
But it wasn’t. When Baldwin pulled the trigger, he unwittingly killed 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza, who was standing behind her inside a wooden, chapel-like building.
A 911 call that alerted authorities to the shooting at the Bonanza Creek Ranch outside Santa Fe hints at the panic on the movie set, as detailed in a recording obtained by the Albuquerque Journal.
“We had two people accidentally shot on a movie set by a prop gun, we need help immediately,” script supervisor Mamie Mitchell told an emergency dispatcher. “We were rehearsing and it went off, and I ran out, we all ran out.”
The dispatcher asked if the gun was loaded with a real bullet.
“I cannot tell you. We have two injuries,” Mitchell replied. “And this (expletive) AD (assistant director) that yelled at me at lunch, asking about revisions….He’s supposed to check the guns. He’s responsible for what happens on the set.”
Halls did not immediately return phone and email messages seeking comment. The Associated Press was unable to contact Hannah Gutierrez, the film’s armorer, and several messages sent to production companies affiliated with “Rust” did not receive responses Friday.
The gun Baldwin used was one of three that Gutierrez had set on a cart outside the building where a scene was being rehearsed, according to the court records. Halls grabbed the firearm from the cart and brought it inside to the actor, unaware that it was loaded with live rounds, a detective wrote in a search warrant application.
It was unclear how many rounds were fired. Gutierrez removed a shell casing from the gun after the shooting, and she turned the weapon over to police when they arrived, the court records say.
Guns used in making movies are sometimes real weapons that can fire either bullets or blanks, which are gunpowder charges that produce a flash and a bang but no dangerous projectile.
Mitchell, the script supervisor, told The Associated Press she was standing next to Hutchins when the cinematographer was hit.
“I ran out and called 911 and said ‘Bring everybody, send everybody,’ ” Mitchell said. “This woman is gone at the beginning of her career. She was an extraordinary, rare, very rare woman.”
Filmmaker Souza, who was shot in the shoulder, said in a statement to NBC News that he was grateful for the support he was receiving and gutted by the loss of Hutchins. “She was kind, vibrant, incredibly talented, fought for every inch and always pushed me to be better,” he said.
Santa Fe-area District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies said prosecutors are reviewing evidence in the shooting and do not know if charges will be filed.
Baldwin, 63, who is known for his roles in “30 Rock” and “The Hunt for Red October” and his impression of former President Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live,” has described the killing as a “tragic accident.” He was a producer of “Rust.”
“There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours. I’m fully cooperating with the police investigation,” Baldwin wrote on Twitter. “My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna.”
Production on “Rust” was halted after the shooting. The movie is about a 13-year-old boy who is left to fend for himself and his younger brother following the death of their parents in 1880s Kansas, according to the Internet Movie Database website.
Before the fateful rehearsal, there were signs of problems on the set. Seven crew members walked off several hours before Hutchins was killed to express their discontent with matters that ranged from safety conditions to their accommodations, according to one of the crew members who left.
The disputes began soon after filming began in early October, said the crew member, who requested anonymity because he feared speaking up would hurt his prospects for future jobs.
The crew was initially housed at the Courtyard Marriot in Santa Fe, according to the crew member. Four days in, however, they were told that going forward they would be housed at the budget Coyote South hotel. Some crew members balked at staying there.
The Los Angeles Times and Variety also reported on the walkout. Rust Movie Productions did not answer emails Friday and Saturday seeking comment.
There were other concerns.
Only minimal COVID-19 precautions were taken even though crew and cast members often worked in small enclosed spaces on the ranch, the crew member who spoke to the AP said. He said he never witnessed any formal orientation about weapons used on set, which normally would take place before filming begins.
A combination of those concerns prompted the seven to walk off the job.
“We packed our gear and left that morning,” the crew member said of the Thursday walkout.
New Mexico workplace safety investigators are examining if film industry standards for gun safety were followed during production of “Rust.” The Los Angeles Times reported that five days before the shooting, Baldwin’s stunt double accidentally fired two live rounds after being told the gun didn’t have any ammunition.
A crew member who was alarmed by the misfires told a unit production manager in a text message, “We’ve now had 3 accidental discharges. This is super unsafe,” according to a copy of the message reviewed by the newspaper.
Gutierrez, the film’s armorer, is the daughter of a longtime Hollywood firearms expert. She gave an interview in September to the Voices of the West podcast in which she said she had learned how to handle guns from her father since she was a teenager.
During the podcast interview. Gutierrez shared that she just finished her first movie in the role of head armorer, a project in Montana starring Nicholas Cage titled “The Old Way.”
“I was really nervous about it at first and I almost didn’t take the job because I wasn’t sure if I was ready but doing it, like, it went really smoothly,” she said.
In another on-set gun death from 1993, Brandon Lee, the son of martial arts legend Bruce Lee, was killed by a bullet left in a prop gun after a previous scene. Similar shootings have occurred involving stage weapons that were loaded with live rounds during historical re-enactments.
Gun-safety protocol on sets in the United States has improved since then, said Steven Hall, a veteran director of photography in Britain. But he said one of the riskiest positions to be in is behind the camera because that person is in the line of fire in scenes where an actor appears to point a gun at the audience.
Some Democratic cities that once sought to defund their police departments are now reversing course — some by their own volition, some under pressure from Republican governors or citizen-led initiatives.
The course corrections come as major cities have experienced more officers resigning or retiring and losing new recruits amid escalating crime and political vilification of police.
In Texas, the Democrat-led Austin City Council voted last August to cut funding for the Austin Police Department by $150 million, slashing a range of services that one year later have proven to be sorely missed. Last month, the department announced it was no longer responding to non-life-threatening emergency 911 calls, and its homicide rate spiked.
In response, a citizen-led movement collected enough signatures for a petition that resulted in adding a November ballot measure to restore police funding.
The state’s Republican Legislature and governor, meanwhile, countered with a new law that would impose a range of penalties on large municipalities acting to defund police, including a provision that would divert a portion of the sales tax proceeds from offending cities to defray the costs of policing by the state’s Department of Public Safety.
At a recent press conference, Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan announced the state was investing $150 million in a “re-fund the police” initiative. His plan includes targeted funding for pay raises and bonuses, recruitment, funding for equipment and training, and a range of funding for services and grants, as well as a boost in funding for the Maryland Chiefs and Sheriffs Association.
“Our $150 million ‘re-fund the police’ initiative will provide a desperately needed shot in the arm to our state and local police agencies and their critical efforts to stop crime,” Hogan said.
He also singled out Baltimore, whose Democratic officials have created a violent crime problem that is “out of control.”
“They’re on pace to surpass 300 homicides again this year,” Hogan said. “The Baltimore Police Department is short-staffed by more than 300 officers. The city of Baltimore is a poster child for the basic failure to stop lawlessness. There’s a prosecutor who refuses to prosecute crime. And there’s a revolving door of repeat offenders who are being let right back onto the streets to shoot people again and again.”
Democrat-led Seattle is taking a different approach, with private companies left fending for themselves as more and more officers are leaving the Seattle Police Department and crime escalates.
This past weekend, the Downtown Seattle Association called on city leadership to use federal COVID relief money to subsidize private security costs, KOMO ABC News reported. Increased crime and not enough police officers to respond has gotten so bad that SPD is now dispatching detectives and non-patrol officers to respond to emergency calls, The Seattle Times reports.
Former City Council President Bruce Harwell, a Democrat, told KOMO News that subsidizing private security efforts might be a good stopgap, but a long-term solution had to include increasing funding for the SPD.
With the subsidies likely to run into legal challenges, Christian Britschgi, associate editor at Reason, argues, “Rather than devote federal funds to subsidizing private security, perhaps Seattle could give downtown businesses a break on the taxes they pay for public safety services that are purportedly not being delivered.”
In Democrat-run New York City and Los Angeles, funding for police departments has been increased. An additional $200 million was allocated to the New York Police Department, while a 3% pay raise was given to an already reduced Los Angeles Police Department force, The New York Times reports. LAPD personnel losses last year were due to several factors while its homicide rate simultaneously spiked.
In Burlington, Vt., citizens suffered from a policy implemented by its Democratic/progressive-led city council, which cut the police budget and ordered a 30% reduction in the number of uniformed officers. The council’s June 2020 “racial justice through economic and criminal justice” resolution proved to be a failure one year later, with the city now offering $10,000 bonuses just to keep officers on the job and $15,000 signing bonuses to hire new recruits.
The Burlington Police Officers’ Association had criticized the city council’s plan last year, arguing it created an “unmanageable and un-survivable retention crisis.” The union said the city needed to implement a “real” retention plan to keep officers on the job, which was “much more complicated than writing a check.”
This year, acting Burlington Police Chief Jon Murad said at a recent city council meeting that it would take more than a year to hire and train a new officer and they were competing with neighboring cities and towns that are “offering increasingly attractive compensation packages, and Burlington needs to compete.” South Burlington is offering a $7,000 sign-on bonus to fully certified officers, Berlin a $4,000 bonus to senior officers, and St. Albans a $10,000 bonus, he said.
“We are losing officers rapidly at a rate that, frankly, does begin to compromise what we can do,” Murad warned. “We already cannot provide the services that we have in the past.”
In Bucks County, Pa., Democratic candidate for county sheriff Mark Lomax is running on a platform to fund the police. In a recent TV ad, he says, “In Bucks County, we need to keep our families safe.” In another ad with Democratic district attorney candidate Antonetta Stancu, they argue, “We know that to fight crime, we must fund the police.”
According to an Ipsos/USA TODAY poll conducted in March, only 18% of those polled said they support the “defund the police” movement.
(Global Research) Months have passed, and the vaccine madness has amplified, leading to the refusal of patients without a passport in hospitals (which, as is well known, are intended to receive only healthy people) and to the demand that patients be vaccinated before receiving any treatment, including cancer patients.
We are in a world gone mad and yet these stories are multiplying, such as this young man of 22 years who had a chronic cough leading to an X-ray discovering a mediastinal mass. The two big Paris hospitals that received him refused to start the treatment (without it being explained in detail) if the patient refused the experimental injection, of absolutely unknown effects on the development of cancers.
The doctors’ justification? None: “that’s the way it is”, and we have accepted it!
Silence on the colleagues suspended for lack of obedience and even more on the objective reasons that made them prefer to lose their jobs, their remuneration, their houses, their families intolerant to these decisions as well, rather than submit to the presidential ukase to accept experimental drugs…
Would more than three hundred thousand caregivers (a figure that is probably highly underestimated given the number of hospitals and clinics currently forced to close beds and postpone interventions due to lack of personnel) be crazy, conspiratorial or delusional to the point of putting themselves in great personal, social, family, professional and psychological danger?
Have the doctors who claim that vaccination is safe taken the time to look at the statistics of the effects reported and accepted by the official agencies? Are the FDA, EMA, MHRA also “conspiratorial” when they release statistics as in the case of VAERS, which is entity of the CDC:
VAERS as of September 26, 2021
More than 726,000 Covid vaccine-related adverse events reported to VAERS as CDC and FDA overturn advisory committee recommendations on Pfizer’s third vaccine.
VAERS data released by the CDC included a total of 726,965 adverse event reports from all age groups following Covid vaccines, including 15,386 deaths and 99,410 serious complications between December 14, 2020, and September 17, 2021.[1]
Or Eudra Vigilance pharmacovigilance body of the European Medicines Agency
Or even the ANSM, our French agency, which shows more than 1200 deaths accepted as at least possibly related to these experimental injections.
All therapeutic trials for fifty years were stopped after a few deaths for investigation (53 deaths stopped the H1N1 vaccine). Here, thousands of deaths throughout the world and children are shamelessly attacked[2]. How can we continue to believe that this is a health policy?
Why this denial of the most solid sects on the part of theoretically educated doctors, capable of obtaining information directly from reliable sources and equipped with a brain?
Fear of the boss, of the director, who in a few months’ time will inevitably be called into question, since many countries are backtracking and even Germany wants to get out of vaccine terrorism, perhaps on the occasion of Mrs Merkel’s departure[3].
“The leading organizations of contracted physicians in Germany are demanding an immediate end to the “anti-corona” measures and an end to the “horror rhetoric and panic politics”. Obviously, French hospital doctors in Paris and elsewhere do not read German newspapers and are terrorized by the threats of their professional association, their minister, and become kapos[4] and terrorize their patients.
More and More Testimonies are Coming In
Whatever their unacceptable reasons, testimonies are multiplying.
A young girl accompanies her friend to her mother’s funeral… such a mother, mother of a high school friend, 34 years old, in remission from breast cancer for two years, who is injected with the vaccine and collapses a few days later in a coma and dies after three days of hospitalization… Politically correct explanation: the cancer exploded and took her away. Close the chapter and the coffin.
What would Maigret have said? [Historic Police Investigator]
But too many coincidences shock the police investigators in front of a corpse. Only doctors would not have the right to think about coincidences of time, for example: “temporality” is their key word…
Like the misleading slogan, “the numbers are always right”. Yes, if they are true and observed in the real world.
But how much confidence can we have in the rigged simulations that the government and the media feed us without ever specifying that they are only predictions or estimates? 5] But one can do what one wants with the figures, when one chooses them, or creates them to justify the chosen hypothesis, and the the results are totally blurred.
In any case, as far as “cancer and gene injection” is concerned, the vagueness unfortunately dissipates in front of the multitude of terrible stories.
From the colleague who sees multiple “balls” appearing under her armpits, which the check-ups in the hospital do not explain… Obviously no possible link with the vax. And yet the ganglions that appear some time after the injection are a frequent observation after these vax.
So clearly there seems to be three situations:
The appearance of a cancer rapidly after the injection (two weeks to a few months) and very progressive, in a person who was previously free of known carcinological pathologies.
The resumption of cancer in a patient who has been in complete remission for several months or years.
The rapid, even explosive, evolution of a cancer that is not yet controlled.
Beyond the testimonies that are pouring in from relatives and friends and on social networks, a Swiss newspaper has finally addressed the subject in a broader way.
Here are some excerpts from their article[6] and their references[7]:
“Can covid vaccines cause cancer?
In some cases, the answer seems to be yes. Certainly, there is no evidence that the covid vaccines themselves are carcinogenic. However, it has been shown that in up to 50% of vaccinees, covid vaccines can induce temporary immunosuppression or immune dysregulation (lymphocytopenia) that can last for about a week or possibly longer.
Furthermore, covid mRNA vaccines have been shown to “reprogram” (i.e., influence) adaptive and innate immune responses and, in particular, to downregulate the so-called TLR4 pathway, which is known to play an important role in the immune response to infections and cancer cells.”
Thus the authors conclude that it is quite possible that these immune changes could have unintended consequences on the condition of the recipient of the gene injection. A matter of common sense indeed!
“Thus, if there is already a tumor somewhere – known or unknown – or if there is a predisposition to a certain type of cancer, such a state of vaccine-induced immune suppression or immune dysregulation could potentially trigger sudden tumor growth and cancer within weeks of vaccination. It should be noted that lymphocytopenia was also frequently observed in cases of severe covid.
Post-vaccination reactivation of latent viral infections, including shingles virus, EBV (Epstein-Barr) and hepatitis virus, has also been observed.
“Vaccine-induced temporary immunosuppression is also a factor that may contribute to the post-vaccination spike in coronavirus infections seen in many countries.”
Frequency of Vaccine Related Adverse Event in Cancer
There are already a few thousand observations in official adverse event reporting and online patient groups. There are certainly true coincidences or diagnostic delays due to delayed diagnosis related to containment. But we should not dismiss the huge problems that these real people affected in their daily lives and even more the responsibility that cancer doctors take by imposing the injection before any treatment or protocol continuation. Their main argument: “we did it right, without discussion” does not seem worthy of a once thoughtful profession.
In August 2021, Dr. Ryan Cole,[8] an American pathologist for many years, described a significant increase in certain types of cancer (e.g. endometrial cancer, uterine cancer) since the beginning of the covid mass vaccination campaign. More recently, German pathologists have also noted the problem of post-vaccination immune dysregulation and sudden tumor growth in some patients.
On the French networks, several testimonies coincide with the reappearance of vaginal hemorrhages in women over 85 years of age leading to the diagnosis of endometrial cancer and rapid death… The spike protein produced by the body following the injection is particularly attracted to the genitals, and this would be a new demonstration of this.
So until we know more, let’s be careful, both doctors and caregivers, and not play the sorcerer’s apprentice!
Caution is required with all experimental treatments and even more so when they are the result of a technique never used before in infectious pathology. First, do no harm must guide the decisions of any physician faithful to his Hippocratic oath.

Florida’s job growth rate is three times the national rate, seeing 17 consecutive months of growth, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced Friday.
“Happy to report at a time of economic uncertainty, a lot of headwinds coming out of Washington, DC, that for the month of September, Florida added over 84,000 new jobs,” the Florida governor, who has continued to face a wave of scrutiny from the establishment media and blue state leaders for refusing to implement restrictive mandates, announced Friday.
“That’s a big chunk of the national numbers that were reported in September,” he added, vowing to continue to work to provide an environment for people to “work and live and thrive for themselves and their families.”
Overall, Florida gained 84,500 jobs total, 72,500 of which are private sector jobs. It added 50,000 workers over the last month, representing a “5.4% increase over-the-year, which is significantly higher than the national rate of 0.8%,” according to DeSantis’s office.
The Sunshine State has added over one million jobs since April 2020, near the beginning of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. The state’s unemployment rate currently sits at 4.9 percent.
“We’re happy to be able to continue to momentum. We’ve got a lot more to do, and we’ve to a lot of challenges with some of the things that are happening at the national level,” he said, adding they are “going to continue to fight hard to make Florida a great place.”
This month, the Labor Department announced that the U.S. economy added 194,000 jobs in September — a “sluggish” pace, “as they predicted about 500,000 jobs created, but the economy fell short again.”
Jobs Creators Network reacted harshly to the Biden administration’s latest figures, slamming his “failed policies” and blaming him for “wrecking small businesses” nationwide.
“Even the termination of Biden’s overly-generous unemployment benefits – which kept workers on the sidelines for almost half a year – failed to stimulate job growth because Biden’s agenda is wrecking small businesses,” Alfredo Ortiz, President and CEO of the Job Creators Network, said in a statement.
“Higher taxes, vaccine mandates, record spending triggering rapid inflation – this is all part of Biden’s ‘War on Small Business,’” he added.
All the while, Florida, under DeSantis’s leadership, has earned the reputation as an oasis for both economic growth and individual liberty.
Brazilian monarchist backs Trump media venture
Brasília parliamentarian and Florida Spac executive are behind deal with ex-president’s Truth start-up
(Financial Times) A central figure in former US President Donald Trump’s bid to create a new social media platform is a Brazilian parliamentarian and self-proclaimed prince who has campaigned to restore elements of the monarchy that ended with the overthrow of Emperor Pedro II in 1889.
Luiz Philippe of Orléans-Braganza was elected to Brazil’s National Congress three years ago, and has put forward the idea of creating an unelected head of state with powers to veto the legislature’s decisions. He is a crucial ally of Brazil’s far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro.
Media reports in Brazil often refer to Orléans-Braganza simply as “O Príncipe”, or “the prince”. His political identity leans heavily on ancestral ties to Brazil’s last emperor, who ascended to the throne at the age of five and reigned for more than half a century.
Orléans-Braganza’s royal title is not mentioned, however, in securities filings for the business venture where he serves as chief financial officer: a “blank cheque” acquisition company that on Wednesday agreed to merge with Trump Media & Technology Group. Orléans-Braganza did not respond to a request for comment.
Trump’s deal with Digital World Acquisition Corporation could provide hundreds of millions of dollars for his social media start-up. It could also create the conditions for a political resurrection.
The former president’s contribution to the US public discourse has diminished since January 6. Now he is aiming to launch his own platform, named Truth Social, “to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech”. “We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favourite American President has been silenced,” Trump wrote in a statement. “I am excited to send out my first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon.”
The merger with Trump Media was agreed with impressive speed. Under the securities rules that govern Spacs, Orléans-Braganza’s company was required to certify that it did not have an acquisition target in mind at the time of its IPO on September 8.
Only six weeks later, Digital World announced a deal to put its cash reserve at the disposal of Trump’s new venture, which aims to create “the first major rival to ‘Big Tech’” by countering “liberal bias” and creating a “‘non-cancellable’ global community”.
Truth is not yet available for download. A page on Apple’s App Store promises that it will include standard features of social media apps, such as notifications, profile pictures, and a message feed. A presentation posted on the company’s website envisages an “inclusive ‘big-tent’ approach” where “all are welcome”, but also pledges to “[galvanize] a conservative media universe”.
Regardless of how the venture takes shape, the hedge funds that provided Digital World’s cash stand to make a risk-free return. Investors in Spac IPOs have a right to redeem their shares at a premium rather than going along with any deal.
Some of Digital World’s early backers have done far better than that by selling into the runaway rally that followed the announcement of the Trump deal. Trading was so brisk on Thursday that a volume of shares equivalent to the company’s entire share capital changed hands multiple times, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, at values that reached as high as 4.5 times the price in last month’s IPO.
For those who bought in at $94.20, the price at Friday’s close, the chance of making a profit depends largely on Trump’s ability to turn initial financing of a few hundred million dollars into a social media enterprise commanding a valuation in the billions.
If Trump succeeds, one of the biggest winners will be Patrick Orlando, a Florida-based financial executive whose little-known firm, ARC Global Investments II LLC, put up $25,000 to buy a stake in the blank cheque company. Orlando owns about 17.8 per cent of Digital World, according to a September 8 regulatory filing — a stake that was worth more than $600m on Friday.
Digital World portrays Orlando as a seasoned financial executive whose “25-year career . . . covers all aspects related to special purpose acquisition corporations”. Securities filings list him as having senior roles at three other blank-cheque vehicles, including Yunhong International, a Wuhan, China-based shell company initially set up by local businessman Yubao Li. None of those companies has yet completed an acquisition.
Before turning to Spacs, Orlando served as chief technical officer at Pure Biofuels Corporation, whose turbulent existence illustrates the risks of speculative stock market ventures.
Incorporated in 2003, Pure Biofuels raised millions from investors to finance the construction of a biodiesel processing plant in Lima, Peru. The company had not generated any significant revenue by the time Orlando left in 2011, and was later dissolved.
Orlando returned to the US and began working for BT Capital Markets, a boutique Miami investment bank where, according to court filings, he worked on a $115m deal to finance a fleet of tugboats purchased by Venezuela’s state-owned oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela.
