Capoeira’s Incredible Roots: Brazil’s Unique Art Form

  If you have ever been to Brazil, then you have probably seen Capoeira played in its streets. It happens within a circle of people who play instruments, sing, and clap while the two contenders engage in what looks like both a fight and a dance.   Capoeira was created by Africans transported to Brazil to work as slaves. They mixed fight, dance, and musical traditions from their various countries to create something uniquely Brazilian.   Capoeira is a fight that was disguised as a dance so that overseers would not quash this act of defiance. It came to represent freedom and resistance in the Quilombos of Brazil and is now a powerful vehicle for sharing Brazilian culture around the world.   African Origins of Capoeira Jogar Capoeira, by Johann Moritz Rugendas, c. 1830, Source: Understanding Slavery Initiative   The Portuguese took control of what is now Brazil at the end of the 15th century. Sugarcane plantations thrived and soon became the principal export of the new colony. But the colonizers needed lots of cheap labor to work the farms. They initially tried to enslave the Brazilian natives, but this turned out to be a bloody and unsuccessful endeavor. Instead, they looked to the African slave trade.   Between the 1540s and the 1860s, around 5.5 million Africans were transported to Brazil as forced labor. They were mainly from three ethnic groups, the Bantu, the Yoruba, and the Fons, from countries corresponding to modern-day Angola, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria.   The Africans brought with them different languages, religions, and cultural traditions. What they had in common was their situation as oppressed people in a foreign land. While returning to their African homes seemed like an increasingly unrealistic dream, fighting for freedom in the New World was not.   This diverse group of Africans came together while working in engenhos (sugarcane plantations) and shared their knowledge of how to defend themselves. They would find flat areas of vegetation on the plantations or in the forest and train together. These areas were known in the native Brazilian language Tupi as ka’a pau—and it is thought to be the origin of the name Capoeira.   Since it was necessary to hide their activities from slavers, Africans disguised their martial arts training as a dance. They would play music and clap while their comrades were engaged in practice fights. If someone was watching, the fighters would transform their movement into a dance.   Capoeira was principally created in Bahia, around Salvador, and the Recôncavo, home to major port cities. But Capoeira quickly spread throughout Brazil.   What is Capoeira? A Capoeira Street Roda, Source: Portal Capoeira   The main principle of Capoeira is that it is a fight disguised as a dance. The two players move their bodies in a fluid dancing motion to music. But while they may look like they are dancing, they are also trying to trick their opponent into opening their defenses so that they can apply an attack (golpe). The art of trickery in Capoeira is called malandragem.   Acrobatic moves are also fundamental to Capoeira, and the au (cartwheel) is one of the first moves that new capoeiristas learn. These moves are both part of the dance and can be applied as versatile attacks. Learning these moves is also fundamental to learning the agility required to play Capoeira.   You play (joga) Capoeira rather than fight (luta), and the game is overseen by a bateria (percussion band) of instruments. The composition of the bateria depends on a variety of factors, but it always has at least one berimbau. This is a single-string percussion instrument that looks like a bow with a gourd attached.   The berimbau is accompanied by different percussion instruments including pandeiros (a type of tambourine) atabaques (a type of hand drum) and clapping from the group that forms an enclosed circle around the two players called the Roda (wheel). This closing of the circle focuses both the music and the energy of all the participants into the Roda and towards the players.   The Mestre (master) on the main berimbau commands the Roda. He can play quickly or slowly to command the speed of the game, and different berimbau toques (rhythms) can call for different types of games. The berimbau rhythm is also used to do things such as warn participants when outsiders (such as the police) have arrived.   Man playing Berimbau, by Jean Baptists Debret, 1826, Source: Google Arts & Culture   The Mestre also sings to accompany the games. He can sing long songs that teach the listeners about the history of Brazil and Capoeira, or about his own life experiences as a capoeirista. There are also short call-and-response songs for faster games. The Mestre might sing: “Oh sim, sim, sim, oh não, não, não” (oh yes, yes, yes, oh no, no, no) and the group repeats the words back as a chorus.   The Mestre might also use the music to comment on what is happening in the game. Leg sweeps, known as rasteiras are a common move. If a larger player falls to the ground due to the rasteira of a smaller player, the Mestre might sing “a facão bateu em baixo, a bananeira caiu” (“the knife hits low, the banana tree falls”). This implies that the larger player is a banana tree felled by the smaller player. If the game is getting too fast and the Mestre wants the players to slow down, he might sing “devagar, devagarinho, cuidado com o seu pezinho” (“slow, nice and slow, careful with your little toe”).   The tradition of Mestres who teach disciples is fundamental to Capoeira. Originally a hidden art, Capoeira’s secrets were passed on from person to person and Mestres are still important in Capoeira today.   Capoeira is unlike martial arts such as karate or jiu-jitsu, where a dedicated practitioner can become a black belt or be considered a master in less than ten years. You need vivencia (life experience) to become a Capoeira master and it can take a lifetime. Today it takes most capoeiristas at least 20 years to be recognized by their fellows as Mestres or Mestras.   The Abolition of Slavery and the Criminalization of Capoeira Mestres Joao Grande and Joao Pequeno playing in a street Roda, Source: Mapa da Capoeira   Slave revolts were common in Brazil and capoeiristas were at the heart of the resistência (resistance). The most famous slave rebellion was led by the capoeirista Zumbi dos Palmares. He established a free state called the Quilombo dos Palmares for ex-slaves and their children. At its height, it was a region the size of Portugal with a population of over 30,000 people.   When slavery was abolished in Brazil in 1888, former slaves moved to cities such as Salvador but struggled to find work. Many turned to petty crime. At the same time, living together in cities without much to do, street capoeira became a common pastime. There were show games for tourists who would pay for the spectacle and serious games where enemies might play with navalhas (razors). Overall, this gave Capoeira a bad reputation as something practiced by thugs and criminals.   In 1890, Capoeira was made illegal in the criminal code, and punished by anything from three days to three years in prison. If caught, police would drag capoeiristas through the streets to jail. In response, the capoeiristas started organizing their rodas closer to the jails, so they weren’t dragged so far.   Mestre Bimba and Luta Regional Baiana Mestre Bimba (center) playing Berimbau, the 1940s, Source: Capoeira Baiana Net   Manuel dos Reis Machado, better known as Mestre Bimba, is probably the most famous capoeirista. Born in 1899, he believed that the capoeira practiced in his day was no longer the effective martial art used by Zumbi.   Mestre Bimba set about improving the art by introducing elements from other martial arts such as batuque (an African fight), karate, and boxing. He proved the effectiveness of his new version of capoeira by winning several important fights in Salvador.   This led Mestre Bimba to create an academy to teach his Capoeira, which he called Luta Regional Baiana (a fight from the region of Bahia). He did not call it Capoeira since it was still illegal when he created his school in 1932.   Mestre Bimba was revolutionary. Before him, Capoeira was taught in the streets, with eager boys eavesdropping on Mestres and young men buying Mestres drinks to encourage them to share their stories.   Mestre Bimba formalized the way Capoeira was taught inside an academy with specific training sequences for beginners, a uniform, and rituals of graduation. He also set strict standards for who could train with him. He only admitted men with jobs into his academy.   Despite reportedly being illiterate, Mestre Bimba soon attracted doctors, lawyers, and other professionals to his academy. This brought his work to the attention of politicians. They were impressed by Mestre Bimba as a community leader and the art he had created. This led to the decriminalization of Capoeira in the 1930s.   However, the stigma associated with Capoeira took many more decades to disappear. You will still meet capoeiristas whose parents did not want them to learn the art because it was for thugs. But today Capoeira is taught in schools across Brazil and is considered an important and effective educational tool.   Mestre Pastinha and Capoeira Angola Mestre Pastinha Statue, by Cristina Maria Fazzito, Source: Brazil de Fato   But while Mestre Bimba was creating his new version of Capoeira, which would become known as Capoeira Regional, other practitioners continued to practice other forms of Capoeira. Some Mestres decided to work together to advocate for and protect their style of Capoeira, which they decided to call Capoeira Angola. This name points back to the African roots of Capoeira in countries such as Angola and emphasizes the traditional nature of the Capoeira they practice.   Learning from Mestre Bimba’s example, the group elected Vicente Ferreira Pastinha, better known as Mestre Pastinha, to be their leader. He too created academies to teach Capoeira, introduced uniforms, and established consistent rituals for conducting Rodas.   Before the 20th century, Rodas used a bateria of instruments, but the composition of the bateria was inconsistent. If players turned up and there was only one berimbau and one pandeiro available, they played with that. If it was a big Roda and seven Mestres all showed up with their own berimbaus, they might all play at the same time.   Mestre Bimba simplified the bateria for Capoeira Regional to one berimbau and two pandeiros. He wanted just one berimbau to have a clear “voice” commanding the Roda. He did not use an atabaque. Some people believe that this was because the atabaque is used in Candomblé, and Mestre Bimba did not want to mix Capoeira and Candomblé. But Mestre Nenel, Mestre Bimba’s son, says that it was a practical decision. It was hard to bring an atabaque to street Rodas.   The Angoleiros also formalized their bateria with three berimbaus, a large deep-sounding Gunga, a medium-sized Medio, and a higher-pitched Viola. Each has its own harmonizing function in the bateria. Alongside them is an atabaque, two pandeiros, an agogo, and a reco-reco.   What Style of Capoeira Do You Play? Capoeira Roda in Ibirapuera, São Paulo, Source: Research Gate   By the mid-20th century, Capoeira Regional and Capoeira Angola became the two most recognized forms of Capoeira, but they are not the only forms. Some people say that everyone who played Capoeira before the creation of Capoeira Regional, including Mestre Bimba, played Capoeira Angola. But that is not true. Capoeira Angola was only formalized in the 1940s, and there were still plenty of people playing the Capoeira they learned on the street who didn’t identify with either Angola or Regional.   While most capoeiristas in Brazil today learn Capoeira in an academy with formal training inspired by Mestre Bimba, for many, their style of Capoeira often comes from these other street players. If you ask them what kind of Capoeira they play, they might tell you that they play whatever the berimbau commands.   Furthermore, while the 1940s and 1950s were a very important time in the evolution of Capoeira, the art did not stop evolving in the mid-20th century. It has continued to grow, and new styles have emerged. These new styles are sometimes called Contemporânea. The most well-known examples of new styles include Abada Capoeira, created by Mestre Camisa, and Cordão de Ouro Capoeira, created by Mestre Suassuna.   Capoeira Roda in Niteroi, 2019, Source: Portal Capoeira de Niteroi   While the above is a brief history and explanation of Capoeira, it is much more complex than can be captured here. Capoeira is usually called an art form rather than a martial art, not just because of its use of music and dance, but because it is a meaningful cultural phenomenon. It is also inextricably linked with many other Afro-Brazilian traditions, such as Samba and Maculelê.   This is reflected in the fact that on November 26th 2014, Capoeira was granted special protected status as part of the intangible cultural heritage of Brazil by UNESCO. Originally a criminal act of resistance, it is now one of Brazil’s top exports. But to truly understand Capoeira, you should go to Brazil and participate in a Roda. Even if you do not play, you will feel the Axe (natural life energy).

Alexander Hamilton: From Orphan to Founding Father

  Alexander Hamilton came from humble beginnings, which he overcame to establish himself as a voice of revolutionary ideals. His service as a young man during the struggle for independence brought him into close contact with George Washington. His skills and connections made him an influential framer of the Constitution and a force in Federalist politics. Washington appointed him the first Secretary of the Treasury, where he greatly influenced the development of the struggling United States.   Alexander Hamilton’s Early Life Portrait Miniature of Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804) by Charles Wilson Peale, ca. 1780. Source: Columbia University Libraries   Alexander Hamilton was born on Nevis, an island in the British West Indies, in 1755 or 1757. His mother, Rachel Faucette, was the daughter of a sugar planter and fled an abusive marriage to the island of St. Kitts. There, she met James Hamilton, the son of a Scottish landowner with whom she had two children. James abandoned the family shortly after Alexander’s birth, and Alexander, his brother, and his mother moved to Danish St. Croix.   The family operated a small store out of their home until 1768 when Rachel died of a fever. Shortly after, the children’s cousin, who acted as their guardian, committed suicide, leaving Alexander and his brother without familial support. Alexander began working as a clerk for a trading company around the age of eleven. He proved prodigious as an accountant, and by the time he was roughly sixteen, his boss and other traders paid for him to study in America.   Alexander immigrated to America in 1772 and applied to present-day Princeton before settling at King’s College, now Columbia University. He took a variety of classes and attempted to graduate in only two to three years but got caught up in revolutionary fervor. In 1774 and 1775, he published documents criticizing a local British loyalist, which were widely publicized. He joined a militia unit with other students and rose to captainship of the New York Provincial Company of Artillery in 1776.   Career in the Revolutionary War Panel and medallion details from bronze doors for the east wing of the Senate wing, US Capitol by Thomas Crawford and William Henry Rinehart, ca. 1855-1865. Source: Library of Congress   Alexander served with distinction at the Battles of Kip’s Bay and White Plains. After proven success in combat, George Washington selected him to serve on his staff. Hamilton became a lieutenant colonel, charged with communication between the military and civil authorities. This duty was essential, as he petitioned for supplies from the government while the army languished at Valley Forge.   Hamilton resigned in March 1781 because of a gripe with Washington and frustration over not being given a field command. Washington relented and made him the head of a force to bring the lieutenant colonel back. On October 14, 1781, Hamilton played a decisive role in the Siege of Yorktown as he attacked and captured Battery 10. He and Washington renewed their friendship, which persisted until the latter’s death.   Throughout the war, Hamilton observed the supply issues in Washington’s command, owing to the lack of cooperation between governing bodies. He became convinced that only a strong federal government could effectively rule and preserve the colonies as a new nation.   How Hamilton Helped Form the New Nation Signing of the Constitution by Howard Chandler Christy, 1940. Source: Architect of the Capitol, Washington DC   The state of New York selected Hamilton as a representative to the Confederation Congress in 1782. Seeing the need for a more powerful government after the failure of the Articles of Confederation, he called for a Constitutional Convention at a meeting in 1786. The next year, he was again a representative in 1787 to that founding body.   A staunch Federalist, he advocated for lifetime terms in many government positions and a total veto for the president. Hamilton worked with John Jay and James Madison in publishing the Federalist Papers and wrote fifty-one of the eighty-five essays. One year later, he proved instrumental to New York’s ratification of the Constitution.   Federalist No. 78, published in 1788, ranks among the most important pieces in the Federalist Papers. Hamilton argued that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and the will of the people. As such, the federal court system acts to check the power of the legislature and executive, ensuring they did not exceed the bounds set in the Constitution. Members of the judicial branch possessed benefits like lifetime tenure and a guaranteed salary to ensure their separation from the other branches.   Hamilton saw the courts as a medium between the government and its people. Federalist No. 78 served as the main source arguing for judicial review in Marbury vs. Madison. This 1803 case solidified the ability of the Supreme Court to declare laws unconstitutional and nullify them.   Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, full-length portrait, standing, facing left by John Trumbull, reproduction by Thomas Hamilton Crawford, 1932. Source: Library of Congress   Washington became president in 1789 and made Hamilton the Secretary of the Treasury.   The new national government struggled with debts from the Revolution and the question of where the capital should be located. Hamilton proposed chartering a federal bank, the First Bank of the United States, which would acquire all state debts. To pay off the dues, the bank could issue currency, store government money, and collect federal taxes.   These measures appealed to Northern states, which languished in significant debt. Southern states resented this plan as they were further along in paying off their expenses and feared a national bank would increase federal power over the states. Southerners also wanted the capital constructed between Virginia and Maryland to increase their access to markets. Northerners preferred not to situate the capital between slave states, fearing it would help legitimize slavery.   Neither issue gained headway independently, but Hamilton compromised with Democratic-Republican leaders such as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison to pass both bills. The Residence Act codified Washington DC as the capital in 1790, and the First Bank received a twenty-year charter in 1791.   The bank functioned as a commercial enterprise as well, allowing the public to deposit funds and apply for loans. It could control inflation by purchasing precious metal reserves from state banks with the state’s notes, slowing the issuance of new currency. It had branches in port cities as far west as New Orleans, allowing a stable financial system to spread across the country. Efforts to renew the charter failed over fears of a monopoly, and it expired in 1811.   Hamilton’s Other Innovative Financial Reforms First US Mint by Frederick DeBourg Richards, ca. 1850-1860. Source: Library of Congress   The complex and disorganized financial system could not be rectified by the First Bank alone. Hamilton issued his Report on the Subject of a Mint to Congress in 1791, weighing the possibility of a federal center to produce and issue coins. Foreign and state coins then in circulation leaned too heavily on the success of other countries and individual states. Some currencies were valued differently in certain areas of the country, and many came in different denominations. These discrepancies made interstate transactions tedious.   His report outlined the creation of the dollar to be tied to the value of gold and silver. Coins functioned as decimal values of the dollar, manufactured with alloys of gold, silver, or copper according to their worth. Congress implemented the plan and created the United States Mint in Philadelphia in 1792.   Alexander Hamilton by John Trumbull, ca. 1792. Source: Library of Congress   As Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton leveraged another observation he made during the Revolution. The colonies depended on Britain for manufactured items and were barred from establishing industry themselves. He recognized industrial power as a catalyst for a strong economy and nation. In 1791, he helped create the Society for Establishing Useful Manufactures, which raised funds through private speculators and government aid.   The organization purchased 700 acres in New Jersey in May 1792 to create the country’s first planned industrial settlement. This community, named Paterson, existed next to a significant fall zone, which generated power for cotton mills via waterwheels. Growth progressed slowly during Hamilton’s lifetime because of challenges in central planning. By the late 1800s, the city became the predominant silk producer in the country, a major manufacturer of train engines, and a home for thousands of immigrant workers. Most factories folded by the 1960s, yet for over 150 years Hamilton’s vision for an inventive, wealthy industrial city persisted.   Hamilton’s Stressful & Challenging Retirement Portrait of Alexander Hamilton by William J. Weaver, ca. 1806. Source: Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields   In 1795, Hamilton stepped down from his cabinet position to practice law. Two years later, he faced allegations of having an affair and of corruption during his secretary tenure. To disprove the latter claim, he admitted to the affair, which brought public outcry. He accumulated substantial debt from mortgages and legal fees owed to his clients.   Threats of war with France in 1798 prompted President John Adams to ask Washington to command American forces. The retired Washington did not want to do so unless the conflict escalated. Instead, he suggested Hamilton serve as the Inspector General as second in command, and Adams agreed. When Washington died in 1799, Hamilton briefly became the highest-ranking American officer. Ultimately, tensions did not lead to martial combat, and Hamilton resigned in 1800.   How Alexander Hamilton Met His End The Burr and Hamilton Duel, 11 July 1804, at Weehawken N.J., photocopy by Bain News Service of 19th Century Print. Source: Library of Congress   Hamilton maintained a longstanding feud with Aaron Burr, another Federalist politician. The rivalry began in 1791 when Burr beat Hamilton’s father-in-law, Philip Schuyler, in a New York senatorial election. Hamilton consistently fought against Burr’s political campaigns, and insults flew both ways. An Albany newspaper published comments from a dinner party in 1804, in which Hamilton derided Burr’s character and made a “more despicable” claim as well.   Burr, then Thomas Jefferson’s vice president, had just lost the race for the office of New York governor. In a series of letters, Burr asked for clarification or an apology, both of which Hamilton refused to provide. To defend his honor, the vice president challenged the former secretary of the treasury to a duel.   Although he had reservations about the ethics of dueling and the well-being of his family, Hamilton accepted. The location and date decided upon was Weehawken, New Jersey, on July 11, 1804. Upon the signal to fire, Hamilton’s shot missed, but Burr’s bullet found his opponent’s right torso. Suffering from his wound, Hamilton was taken to Manhattan and could bid his family farewell before he died the next day. In his lifetime, he introduced significant reforms to the United States, which ensured the permanence of the country and his legacy.

1,000-Plus Doctors, Scientists Sign Hope Accord Calling For SUSPENSION Of All mRNA Jabs

The Hope Accord is moving forward after cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra tweeted a video of himself explaining that more than 1,000 doctors, scientists and concerned citizens have thus far signed the document, which calls for the immediate suspension of all mRNA jabs. Article by Ethan Huff, republished with permission from Naturalnews.com In order for health professionals to reclaim any semblance of medical ethics and set the record straight that mRNA technology is dangerous an unsuitable for use in medicine, Dr. Malhotra is urging everyone who cares, including our readers, to sign the Hope Accord. “In 2015, the editor-in-chief of The Lancet, Richard Horton, wrote a chilling commentary in which he claimed that possibly half of all the medical literature may simply be untrue,” Dr. Malhotra says in the video below. “He wrote that science had taken a turn towards darkness. And now it’s a question of who is going to take the first step to clean up the system.” “The COVID pandemic has revealed a microcosm of the corporate capture of medicine and public health by powerful vested interests in the form of Big Pharma in particular. This is an industry whose business model is one of fraud. And sadly, we have seen the greatest failings of the system with the rollout of an mRNA product that has likely contributed to deaths and serious harm to millions of people around the globe.” Dr. Malhotra believes that now is the time to take the next step to clean up the medical system. And the best way for ordinary folks to do this, he says, is to sign the Hope Accord “which calls for the complete suspension of these products but also calls on reclaiming medical ethics.” “It’s time to act,” he pleads. “Please sign this petition and this accord and we can take things further to really genuinely clean up the system.” BREAKING: Over 1000 doctors, scientists & concerned citizens have signed the HOPE accord calling for a suspension of the mRNA jabs & the reclaiming of medical ethics. Make your voice count by adding your signature so we can collectively clean up this rotten system… pic.twitter.com/Qc2inoELCx — Dr Aseem Malhotra (@DrAseemMalhotra) July 5, 2024 (Related: A recent study found that the many problems associated with mRNA technology “could have fatal consequences” on patients.) Politicians calling for COVID jabs to be pulled from market A number of elected officials are also joining the call for the medical system to be cleaned up starting with the immediate removal of all Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “vaccines” to be pulled from the market for the safety of the public. Americans for Health Freedom (AHF) says that as of June 25, 2024, 191 politicians, 96 candidates, one surgeon general, one entire state Republican party, one state congressional district, 17 Republican party county committees, and seven physician organizations have all pledged to call for all COVID injections to be banned immediately. All of the above entities have also pledged not to take any more donations from the pharmaceutical industry. A complete list of all of them is available at AmericansForHealthFreedom.org. “I am honoured to be standing alongside my respected colleague, Dr. Malhotra in calling for the restoration of medical ethics,” tweeted Dr. Ayiesha Malik, who describes herself on X as “a compassionate GP and integrative doctor.” “We won’t let history repeat itself. We will stand together and bring hope to the future.” One perhaps major setback is that the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) just took control of the United Kingdom – and on Independence Day for the United States, no less – with the installment of Keir Starmer as England’s new prime minister.

Sources for this article include: X.com TheHopeAccord.org NaturalNews.com AmericansForHealthFreedom.org RELATED REPORT: Dr. McCullough: Groundbreaking Study Discovers ‘Off-Switch’ for mRNA COVID-19 Injections I came across a really fascinating video from Dr. Peter McCullough this week that suggests a new study has shown how to activate an “off-switch” for mRNA injections. Fascinating! And seems to me to be something we desperately need! Take a look at this from The Vigilant Fox: Groundbreaking Study Discovers ‘Off-Switch’ for mRNA COVID-19 Injections There was never thought to be a way to “undo” the shots — until now. Contrary to initial claims that the “vaccine” stays in the arm, it spreads throughout the body, prompting serious safety concerns. In a recent preprint study, Dr. McCullough and his team presented a novel approach using small interfering messenger RNA (siRNA) and ribonuclease targeting chimeras (RIBOTACs) to bind and deactivate the mRNA from these vaccines, allowing the body to clear it out. “We use these small interfering RNAs already in practice,” McCullough stated. “There’s one called Patisiran, the other one, Inclisiran. I use them in my practice. They only last in the body a few days. They bind up messenger RNA to inactivate it.” “The longevity of the encapsulated mRNA along with unlimited production of the damaging and potentially lethal Spike (S) protein call for strategies to mitigate potential adverse effects,” the study’s abstract declares. Dr. McCullough’s proposed solution—targeting and degrading residual vaccine mRNA—could prevent uncontrolled spike protein production and reduce toxicity. With Moderna’s mRNA vaccines for respiratory syncytial virus and influenza now approved, the urgency for an “off switch” becomes even more pressing. McCullough warns, “Without any way to turn off the messenger RNA, we think every single messenger RNA shot, because it’s been made synthetic and resistant to human breakdown, is going to make people progressively sick. We have to find a way to get this out of the body.” “We hope that some molecular technology companies can pick this up and consider this. We’re gonna need an off switch for this.” Groundbreaking Study Discovers ‘Off-Switch’ for mRNA COVID-19 Injections There was never thought to be a way to “undo” the shots — until now.

As a leading cardiologist, he worked to educate us all on what – and what isn’t – the science behind COVID and the vaccines. His warnings about vaccines have been borne out. And now he’s shouting from the rooftops about the most promising enzyme that actually fights the dangerous spike proteins. EVERYONE needs to hear this… Watch: Dr. McCullough: The Most Promising Substance Against Spike Proteins Is an Enzyme Called Nattokinase#DrMcCullough #Nattokinase #SpikeProtein #Vaxx pic.twitter.com/BG7xiMK9ti — DailyNoah.com (@DailyNoahNews) March 10, 2023 Here’s more: Nattokinase is a natural proteolytic enzyme – extracted from a Japanese food called nattō – that has been shown in a preclinical study to degrade the spike protein. Nattokinase is featured in our jam-packed formula that provides immune and healing support for people concerned about the prolonged effects of spike proteins. In a recent article, Dr. McCullough also said this: Far and away the most common question I get from those who took one of the COVID-19 vaccines is: “how do I get this out of my body.” The mRNA and adenoviral DNA products were rolled out with no idea on how or when the body would ever breakdown the genetic code. The synthetic mRNA carried on lipid nanoparticles appears to be resistant to breakdown by human ribonucleases by design so the product would be long-lasting and produce the protein product of interest for a considerable time period. This would be an advantage for a normal human protein being replaced in a rare genetic deficiency state (e.g. alpha galactosidase in Fabry’s disease). However, it is a big problem when the protein is the pathogenic SARS-CoV-2 Spike. The adenoviral DNA (Janssen) should broken down by deoxyribonuclease, however this has not be exhaustively studied. This leaves dissolution of Spike protein as a therapeutic goal for the vaccine injured. With the respiratory infection, Spike is processed and activated by cellular proteases including transmembrane serine protein 2 (TMPRSS2), cathepsin, and furin. With vaccination, these systems may be avoided by systemic administration and production of Spike protein within cells. As a result, the pathogenesis of vaccine injury syndromes is believed to be driven by accumulation of Spike protein in cells, tissues, and organs. Nattokinase is an enzyme is produced by fermenting soybeans with bacteria Bacillus subtilis var. natto and has been available as an oral supplement. It degrades fibrinogen, factor VII, cytokines, and factor VIII and has been studied for its cardiovascular benefits. Out of all the available therapies I have used in my practice and among all the proposed detoxification agents, I believe nattokinase and related peptides hold the greatest promise for patients at this time. If you or someone you love would like to try nattokinase, The Wellness Company’s “Spike Support Formula” contains nattokinase plus other extracts (and ordering through this link and the links below benefits We Love Trump). In The Wellness Company’s Spike Support Formula you will find: Nattokinase Selenium (aids in helping the body repair itself and recover) Dandelion root (acts as a detoxifying agent supporting better liver function) Black sativa extract (may facilitate cellular repair) Green tea extract (provides added defenses at the cellular level through scavenging for free radicals) Irish sea moss (could help rebuild damaged tissue and muscle) Here is Dr. Jen VanDeWater talking about all the elements of The Wellness Company’s Spike Support Formula: People are saying about The Wellness Company’s Spike Support Formula: “I saw Dr. McCullough talk about the product and decided to give it a try. A month and a half later, I feel sooo much better. I also have recommended the product to family members to help them detox from the painful side effects of the vaccine.” “I feel like I have had brain fog for the past 18 months and after taking this supplement noticed the fog lifting finally. I plan to buy more for myself and now a friend suffering from heart issues.” “I am grateful for the Wellness Company and for you coming out with this spike protein vitamins. I am a big believer in natural healing and not pharmaceutical drugs.

DR Congo summons Uganda diplomat over M23 conflict

Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo — Uganda again rejected United Nations allegations that it is backing M23 rebels in neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo after Kinshasa summoned the Ugandan charge d'affaires over the issue.  Since late 2021, M23 has seized large tracts of territory in North Kivu province, with a recent report commissioned by the U.N. Security Council alleging "active support" for the rebels by Ugandan army and military intelligence officials.  On Friday, Uganda's charge d'affaires, Matata Twaha Magara, denied his country was helping the group after he was summoned for talks with Congolese deputy foreign minister Gracia Yamba Kazadi.  "Our position has been clear that in the East African community we need to work together to flush all the negative forces that are disturbing us," Magara said.  He referred to the joint operation in eastern DRC by Congolese and Ugandan troops against ADF rebels affiliated with the Islamic State.  The ADF, originally made up of mainly Muslim Ugandan rebels, has established a presence over the past three decades in eastern DRC, killing thousands of civilians.  Magara claimed that Kazadi "called me to inquire about issues regarding our bilateral relations. She wanted to know what is happening.  "Of course I assured her our bilateral relations are cordial," he said, noting that Kampala was still "waiting for the official communication from the U.N. office" to respond to the U.N. allegations.  "The U.N. should give, first, the concerned countries the report so that they can respond to those accusations," he said.  In the report published on July 8, U.N. experts said they had confirmation of "active support" for M23 from members of Ugandan intelligence.  The report said 3,000 to 4,000 Rwandan soldiers had been fighting alongside M23 rebels in the mineral-rich east, displacing millions of people, and that Kigali had "de facto control" of the group's operations, a claim Rwanda denies.  The experts also said they had evidence confirming "active support for M23 by certain UPDF [Uganda People's Defense Forces] and Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence officials."  Two days later Uganda's deputy defense spokesperson Deo Akiiki told AFP the allegations against Kampala were "laughable, baseless and illogical."
