Which injuries did COVID mRNA vaccines cause?

When the Trump administration launched Operation Warp Speed, the public didn’t understand that the COVID vaccines being developed were not traditional attenuated virus vaccines. Rather, these vaccines used a new, experimental mRNA biotechnology. 

At that time, Moderna had been trying for decades to develop mRNA-based treatments for various ailments, including cancer. But Moderna had failed. None of its treatments were deemed safe enough for FDA approval. In fact, the trials of several of Moderna’s mRNA-based treatments had to be halted at the animal testing phase because they were found to be far too dangerous to test on humans. 

However, when the Trump administration granted Emergency Use Authorization for these vaccines, it essentially gave Moderna and Pfizer the green light to conduct mass clinical trials on the general public using these risky, untested vaccines.

We’ll discuss the consequences of this mass experiment with two guests.  First, Dr. Robert Malone, the originator of mRNA biotechnology, will discuss how mRNA vaccines differ from traditional vaccines, what made the COVID vaccines risky, and his views on the fact that Big Pharma is developing new vaccines for other ailments that utilize this same mRNA biotechnology. (7:05-7:40 PM)

Dr. Robert Malone (right), with Senator Ron Johnson.

Then, we’ll speak with Stephanie de Garay, whose 12-year-old daughter, Maddie, participated in the Pfizer clinical trials being administered by Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.  Maddie had a systemic adverse reaction within hours of receiving her second dose of the vaccine — a reaction that ultimately left her wheelchair-bound.  The doctors at Cincinnati Children’s claimed that Maddie’s symptoms were caused by anxiety.  After starting treatment, Maddie has been undergoing full-time rehabilitation in several states. (7:40-8:15 PM)

An Overview of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic

As the former Chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, Dr. Brad Wenstrup will review the SSC report, the lessons learned, and how our nation can predict, prepare, protect, and prevent for the future if another pandemic were to happen.

In 2023, House of Representatives, Dr. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) was chosen to Chair a Select Subcommittee to investigate COVID-19’s origins and the government’s response.   His Committee produced a 520 page report:  After Action Review of the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Lessons Learned and the Path Forward.

Brad, you will remember, was the hero of the June 2017 shooting at the House GOP baseball practice.  Wenstrup, who was elected to Congress in 2012, helped treat Steve Scalise, who had been shot by a gunman who opened fire at a House Republican baseball practice just before their annual congressional baseball game against the Democrats.  Many say that day Brad saved Steve Scalise’s life.

We are very pleased to have him share with us the insights from this report and answer your questions. Join us at the EmpowerU Studio at Scarlet Oaks for this informative
meeting. Bring your family and friends!  Please use the following link to review the report:

The Establishment Media Has Destroyed Itself (and We Can’t Stop Smiling)

Alex Marlow is Editor-in-Chief at Breitbart News and author of the prescient 2021 book, Breaking the News

Years of unethical journalistic practices among the majority of US news outlets has resulted in a massive corrosion in credibility.

Trust in the “alphabet soup” mainstream media – CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNNLOL – is at an all-time low, according to the latest polls. How did we get here?BI Special Agent Elvis Chang’s 2022 testimony in the Missouri v. Biden case, along with Elon Musk’s release of the so-called “Twitter Files,” confirmed what many had suspected — that Executive branch departments, including the FBI, were colluding with Big Tech to censor Americans.

• Because they censor (with a good deal of help from leftwing government) – You’ll be astonished when you learn what Breitbart News has been subjected to over the years. Will President Trump be able to put the kibosh on this once and for all?

• Because they lie (often to aid and abet leftwing government) – With hindsight we can now see how we’ve been gaslit and lied to, over and again. Stepping back, it’s a stunning list of deceptions.

• And now they are falling like flies – The list of media “stars” who have been deported (or who self-deported) from their lofty perches in the establishment media continues to grow.

So what’s next? The White House has made room for New Media. Breitbart News and others are regularly in the briefing room and have fresh access to leaders here in the U.S. and around the globe. While readership and viewership in the establishment media is tanking, Breitbart News and others continue to grow. Hear from Alex about the bright days ahead for you, the news consumer.

The Magical Tale of How the Beatles Became a Band…

The story of how The Beatles touches the hearts of First Gen Fans who were there and resonates with today’s fans who see so much in the lads from Liverpool worth emulating. “The Birth of The Beatles” begins with the birth of the group’s founder and leader, John Lennon. As he grows and experiences one trauma after another, attendees can’t help but applaud his ability to square his shoulders and carry on. Living through (what John sees as) abandonment by his parents – who give John to an aunt and uncle to raise – the boy suffers loneliness and a feeling of intense insecurity, but learning to play harmonica, John manages to find peace in music.

Reunited with his musician mother Julia in his teen years, John is encouraged to form a band, and he recruits a few high school friends into a group called the Quarry Men. Julia invites them to rehearse at her house, and John and Jullia become inseparable mates. However, when Julia is hit and killed by a drunk driver a little over a year later, John is completely bereft…and the little rock’n’roll band he had quickly thrown together becomes John’s lifeline.

Via “The Birth of The Beatles” you will be a fly on the wall as John hones his band into something remarkable.  First, at a garden fête, he is introduced to Paul McCartney…and later, Paul introduces John to a very young (14-year-old!) George Harrison. You’ll find out how The Beatles’ first drummer Pete Best was selected and how early Beatles manager Allan Williams gave away to the refined and well-heeled manager, Brian Epstein. You’ll meet John’s college sweetheart – and later, his wife and mother of his son, Julian – the lovely Cynthia Powell. And you’ll travel along with the boys as they make their way to Hamburg, Germany, and then, into the hearts of fans throughout England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.

Shades of Life Part 1 by Jude Kessler

As “The Birth of The Beatles” ends, the Fab Four have “come together” and are poised to invade America. Travel with Jude Southerland Kessler, author of The John Lennon Series and artist/photographer Rande Kessler through the deeply significant years of 1940-1963 as the phenomenal band that fomented Beatlemania evolves from naive teenagers into seasoned professionals. This is a whirlwind trip…and “you know that can’t be bad.”

Many of the rare photos in this presentation were taken by Rande Kessler in 1993-2000, during the Kesslers’  seven trips to Liverpool for interviews with The Beatles friends, family, early band members and business associates.

Woodrow Wilson Greatly Expanded the Powers of the Presidency

Required Reading:  Columbus Experiments with Basic Universal Income–Columbus Dispatch–Click Here

What would the presidency look like in 2025 if Woodrow Wilson had never been #28?

Woodrow Wilson was the 28^th President of the United States, serving from 1913 to 1921. He was the only Democrat who served as president during the Progressive Era. He changed our economic policy, foreign policy, and greatly expanded the power of the presidency. 

In the 1912 election, Wilson defeated incumbent Republican William Howard Taft and third-party nominee Theodore Roosevelt, becoming the first Southerner to win the presidency since the 1848 election. During his first year as president, Wilson authorized the widespread imposition of segregation inside the federal bureaucracy and his opposition to women’s suffrage drew protests.

For one year and five months, Edith Wilson, oversaw her husband’s presidential affairs while he recovered from his illness.   Woodrow Wilson had suffered a severe stroke in 1919 that left him incapacitated until the end of his presidency.  Unofficially, she was called by many as the “First Lady President”.

Woodrow Wilson and Edith Wilson

Many Americans today believe that the Presidency is the most important office in our Constitutional system. In this class we will discuss how Woodrow Wilson – both as an academic and a politician – transformed the office of President from a relatively limited role to being the most powerful office in the land.

You think the dissention between the current political parties is bad now?

Learn about the conflicts involving the Federalists and Republican parties which caused The War of 1812.  Imagine now if a state refused to send soldiers to a National War and if they did everything they could to impede the prosecution of that war.

Thomas Jefferson’s Republican Party and Alexander Hamilton’s Federalist Party defined and jeopardized–the political life in the young Unites States.  The Federalists, although greatly outnumbered managed to subvert the policies of James Madison, the 4th President of the United States.   At almost every turn it was like we were almost fighting against ourselves.

The Star Spangled Banner Flag Flying at the Smithsonian

This class will tie together much of our Nation’s early history.   The War of 1812 was a local war between Canada (which was under British authority) and the US, as well as Great Britain and many of the Indian Tribes.   The war was a byproduct of the Napoleonic Wars which were fought mainly in Europe.  America had placed their bets on an overwhelming land victory while the British Army was busy fighting Napolean.

Washington D.C. Burns on August 24, 1814

With Britain competing for control of Europe, both sides understood the importance of disrupting the other’s supply sides.    America found itself being stuck right in the middle of important sea routes.   With Britain being the largest naval power of the world, was the new Republic in danger of losing its newfound independence?   What was the role of the Indian Tribes, and important strong was the great warrior and leader Tecumseh?   Much drama to be learned tonight including the background for our National Anthem and the Burning Down of Washington D.C.

A Deep Look At China's Internal Challenges

What is life like within China’s borders? 

The image China projects to the world is familiar to most — that of a technologically advanced nation rapidly ascending to global dominance. 

But what about the domestic situation in China?  Most of us have only small fragments of insight about China’s inner workings — our picture of life within China is incomplete.  In this episode of EmpowerU, Breitbart’s Frances will complete that picture for us.

In her capacity as Breitbart’s International Editor, Ms. Martel has deep knowledge of the prevalent social, political, and economic issues China faces internally, and she understands the impact China’s internal state might have on its future standing in the world. 

Specific topics Frances will address include the following: the implications of the fact that young Chinese are not marrying and having children because they have no hope for the future; the shortage of females due to China’s since abandoned one-child policy; China’s persecution of Christians and other minority groups; the implication of the fact that the way in which Chinese use social media use in China differs from that in the United States.  Frances will take audience questions in the final 20 minutes of the hour.

Speaker Bio

It was while working for Mediaite that Martel had her first interaction with Andrew Breitbart. “It was hard to keep up with Andrew’s brain — he was rapid fire. He hated elitism, hated the idea of an ivory tower of rich, white liberals telling the rest of us what to believe,” she says. “I clicked with that.”

It clicked for her so much that in 2013 she joined Breitbart News Network as free-lancer.  She proceeded to quickly rise through the ranks, becoming its International Editor.  Her expertise includes Latin America, China, Africa and the Middle East, and religious persecution globally.

Martel’s writing has been cited across the political spectrum, from Rush Limbaugh to Lawrence O’Donnell.  She holds a BA in Government studies from Harvard University, and a JD from Fordham University School of Law. 

Also, We'll Learn How Drones Are Being Used In the Professional Photography Space

Witness the extraordinary transformation of this historic manufacturing site into a contemporary mixed-use complex.

Architect Ken Schon will discuss the renovation of the Peters Cartridge Factory — an ammunitions factory situated along the Little Miami River and Bike Trail — into 135 loft apartments and 15,000 square feet of commercial space.  Completed in 2022, the project received the Award of Merit from the Ohio Historic Preservation Office. 

In this talk Mr. Schon will walk through a brief history of the Peters Cartridge Factory using vintage photos. He’ll also walk through the development process, detailing the

physical and environmental conditions that existed on the site, the vision for the site, and why his firm came to commit to the project.  He’ll illustrate this part of the discussion with photos taken before and after the project’s completion. (7:30-8:30 PM)

Camera-equipped drones can capture stunning views from a variety of angles and heights. This feature makes them extremely valuable commercial applications.  For example, they can help showcase a property or event location in a way that simply can’t be done with traditional photography.  They’re also extremely useful for documenting the progression of a construction project, for building a project portfolio, and for social media.  Carl Ray of Cincinnati Drone Photos will share his insights about this innovative technology.

From Ancient Egypt to Modern America

The common phrase “as above, so below” is derived from Hermeticism.

Hermeticism is a body of philosophical beliefs that emerged in Egypt around the beginning of the Common Era.  Often attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, Hermeticism resulted from the blending of ancient Egyptian and Greek cultures and ideas that took place in Alexandria, which at that time was a global melting pot of peoples.

The caduceus is a symbol of Hermeticism.

Over millennia, Hermeticism has touched many different religions and belief systems, from early Christian Gnosticism, to Jewish Kabballah, to Islamic thought, to eastern philosophy, to esoteric and secret societies, to the European New Age movement.  Yet, Hermeticism is commonly misunderstood today.

John Hernandez, a highly accomplished expert in Hermetic thought, will guide us through the story of the development, evolution, and spread of these ancient concepts and beliefs.  John will trace their growth from Ancient Egypt to modern day America, illustrating our journey with a collection of fascinating images he has collected over the years.

Can We Get Rid of the Income Tax in Ohio?

Ohio State Senator George Lang will discuss how reducing these taxes can be accomplished and what the impact of such action will be to small business and each one of us as individual state taxpayers.In 2024 legislation was introduced to once and for all to eliminate the income tax for all Ohioans and the Commercial Activity Tax (CAT) by 2030. Ohio is ready to reclaim our role as the economic engine of the Midwest. This first step ensures Ohio is a destination for businesses to grow and attract people who want to work and live here, raise a family, and truly thrive.

Our small and mid-sized businesses are the heart of Ohio’s economy. Eliminating the CAT shows how committed we are to that mission of. ensuring Ohio is the ideal place to start and run a business, to be the place where every entrepreneur’s dreams can be realized.  If we look to the east or west, our income tax rates are higher.   Ohio is exceptional and must rise to the challenge of finding new ways to set ourselves apart.  We must seize this opportunity to take a fresh perspective on how our tax dollars are being spent. By providing permanent tax relief, we will also be looking at ways to ensure that, as taxpayers, you are getting the best return on your investment.  Ohio has incrementally cut and simplified the income tax consistently for over two decades. Now, bold action is necessary and possible, as we reign in the size of government, simplify taxes, and empower businesses and families to thrive.

While authoritarianism has been on the rise among the political class, a populist reaction is taking place in response.  

In 2015 the EU opened its borders to an unvetted flow of immigrants from the Middle East.  This created lots of tension with EU citizens as the European and Muslim cultures began clashing, with numerous cities seeing dramatic increases in crime, including the grooming gangs in the UK.

At the same time, the European governments began moving in an increasingly authoritarian direction, most notably with crackdowns on free speech, including jailing people for “offensive” or “hurtful” comments on social media, and for praying silently in front of an abortion clinic. 

These trends have resulted in a rising populism among voters that has resulted in the elections of leaders such as the Netherlands’ Geert Wilders and the UK’s Nigel Farage.

Join us as Breitbart’s London Bureau Chief, Oliver Lane, gives us an insider’s view of these trends, how they might play out in the future, and their relationship to political trends in the US.

A POSITIVE CURE FOR THE DRUG EPIDEMIC

Cincinnati Challenge Ranch, a nationally recognized facility, located 6 miles east of Milford, Ohio, is a faith-based drug and alcohol residential treatment center founded in 1972. We are incorporated as a 501-c3 and as a tax-exempt entity in the State of Ohio. We are a privately funded and program fee-based organization. 

Cincinnati Challenge Ranch is a minimum six-month faith-based residential program for those addicted to drugs and alcohol. A 3-year study, released through Northwestern University in June 1999, confirmed that 86% of those who completed the program have remained drug free. Compare this to the average government sponsored program’s 17% success rate. This study found that Adult and Teen Challenge graduates were “More likely to be living normal lives, holding down jobs and not needing further treatment.”  It went on to say that, “Nearly all have escaped the ‘revolving door phenomenon’ of substance abuse treatment.”  Cincinnati Challenge Ranch offers a proven cure to those with life controlling substance abuse issues. We are a local solution to a local problem. Our faith based cure to the drug epidemic involves a structured and disciplined atmosphere incorporating a holistic character development with education, soft skills and vocational training in preparation for job readiness.  The presentation will share why we do what we do, and why we are successfully restoring men’s lives, restoring their dignity and destiny. We’ll talk about our curriculum, the power of work therapy as well as keys that restore the heart.

Our Blue Light Environment Is Degrading Our Health

If you have any questions for our guest Scott Zimmerman that you were not able to ask during our class this evening, he said you are welcome to email him at Scott.Zimmerman@Silas.Tech.  You can visit Scott’s website at Lighting Inspired By Nature – Rooted In Science | Nira Lighting. 

Humans evolved in an environment rich in red and infrared light.

Early man was exposed primarily to light from heat-producing sources — sun and fire.  This light was rich in red and infrared light.  As a result, many of our basic microbiological processes — metabolism, hormonal regulation, brain function — became dependent upon continuous exposure to red and infrared light.  

In the early 20th century we transitioned our evening lighting from fires, candles, and lamps to the incandescent lightbulb.  This change posed no health problems to humans because the light provided by incandescent lightbulbs contains red and infrared light.   

Recently, however, our light environment has been changing for the worse.  The increasing use of LED streetlights, headlights, and indoor lights, combined with the light emitted from our computer screens, is transforming our light environment from  nourishing red and infrared light to blue and ultraviolent light.  This problem is being compounded by the coatings being applied to office windows, which are designed to filter out infrared light. 

In this episode Scott Zimmerman, a veteran of the lighting industry, will discuss the research showing the negative health effects of the blue-dominant light environment we’re creating, and what we can do to address them.

Was Hoover really a free market purist? 

The legacy of America’ 31^st President, Herbert Hoover, is one remembered in infamy. Today’s narrative by New Deal historians portrays Hoover as a neglectful laissez-faire figure whose inaction only worsened conditions during one of modern history’s worst economic disasters, the Great Depression.

Yet is this truly what happened? Is this an accurate portrayal of Herbert Hoover, what he believed, and who he was? Was he truly the fatally neglectful laissez-faire supporter that New Deal historians make him out to be?

Hunter Oswald reveals that today’s narrative couldn’t be any farther from the truth. Through careful analysis, Hunter sheds light on one of America’s most hated and controversial presidents, exposing the falsehoods in today’s mainstream narrative. Hunter brings to light that it wasn’t Hoover’s embracement of the free-market that tarnished his legacy, rather, it was his disdain for it, and his embracement of big-government progressivism, that made him one of the most hated Presidents in American History.

Donna is the Executive Director of HGM and is a Certified Baby Loss Family Advisor.  She has been a guest on Catholic Answers, Jim and Joy, Teresa Tomeo, and a number of radio stations throughout the USA.  Donna also travels teaching seminarians, priests, and pastoral care personnel on how to best serve those experiencing the loss of a baby.  For 25 years, Donna was a pro-life speaker traveling to high schools teaching the beauty of fetal development and the tragic methods of abortion, reaching up to 10,000 students a year.  This knowledge of fetal development was a type of preparation for the service she would provide to grieving families at Heaven’s Gain Ministries. Donna sits down with families and prepares them for the birth of their baby who has died.  Heaven’s Gain started out of Donna and Jim’s own miscarriage experiences at 9, 14, and 17 weeks. They were frustrated that they were unable to find a little baby casket for any of their miscarried babies. Jim and Donna believe each miscarried and stillborn baby is truly a loss. Proper burial of their miscarried/stillborn babies in a little casket was very important to them, and they did not want any other family to be in this situation and thus began Heaven’s Gain Ministries. Besides the many services Heaven’s Gain offers, they also offer dignified caskets and urns for families experiencing the loss of a baby at all gestational ages. Donna and Jim are the parents of eleven children: three in Heaven, and eight on earth. They have seven biological children. In December of 2012, they adopted their two-year-old foster child whom they had fostered since she was two days old.  

How to Replace Self-Limiting Beliefs With Self-Empowering Beliefs

Understanding the science of psychological change can help us transform our perspective, attitude, behavior and results.

Our beliefs about ourselves and the world can stifle our ambition and prevent us from realizing our full potential. For example, a common self-limiting belief is “ageism” — the belief that our age disadvantages us.  Ageism prevents us from even attempting to achieve the things we want to achieve.

Our beliefs are a component of our overall perspective on the world, and the saying “your perspective is your reality” is a truism.  If we can eliminate our self-limiting beliefs, and replace them with self-empowering beliefs, we transform our perspective, which frees us to achieve more than we ever imagined we would.

In this session we will learn proven techniques we can apply to change our self-limiting beliefs.  We’ll first explore the theoretical foundation of these techniques, including brain mechanics and the neuroscience of perspective. We’ll then review how to apply these theoretical foundations using techniques that work with the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic components of your beliefs. We’ll conclude by examining some simple daily practices to help you maintain an empowering perspective and overcome daily obstacles such as drama, fear, dysfunction, and ageism.
