Should this campaign be successful, Charlie may have created a template that can be used in other districts to unseat the RINOs, and usher in true conservatives. On the larger stage this week, two things dominate current events for people like us: the vaxxx and the Epstein disclosures. Neither topics are new to us, but they have not even begun to give up all the evidence and scope for punishment they contain.
Read on for more detail.

The advantage the Right has is that they remain policy- and results-based. They will get some things wrong, but their template is to judge on results (for the most part). What they do usually works – and is rarely ruinous. That will drive more and more people formerly in the middle and who were simply liberal but not frenzied leftists, into the conservative camp, even if only temporarily.

The disadvantage the Right has is that it lacks the constant, white-hot fervor the Left has. It also suffers from complacency from those moderates who think a win means final triumph or that everything will work itself out. The Right has only sustained itself in focused action when it is suffering from actual oppression.

I have called this Armageddon, the final battle between good and evil before the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart. Significant problems are that many secular (and frankly, many religious) people do not even consider that a possibility. A further problem is that those who do tend to think that the Triumph will come whatever they do – and this breeds complacency. They are right…but not in the way they think. The Triumph WILL come, whatever we do BUT what we do determines when it will come. We could have a generation or even more of chaos and deepening suffering, or this could be over in a couple of years. That depends on us.

I have been gratified by our victory in 2024, electing Trump. As the battle begins, we have a man at the top of our government who is culturally and politically aligned with normal people. Frankly, he is more religiously aligned with us than many religious leaders. That is no small thing. As I have celebrated that, I have also warned that the battle lines are now being formed…finalized, actually. Some thought that Trump’s victory meant there would be no battle. Of course there is. And it is slowly ramping up. Woe to those who are complacent and unprepared!

I think of Jesus, when He found that His disciples were sleeping as He was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane. He asked them plaintively could they not remain with Him for even an hour? But then, in what I think is one of the most touching passages in the Gospels, He looks at them with affection and leaves them to sleep. He knew that, weak and faltering as they were, they would rise to the occasion later, when it counted. Of course, I can’t see such things. I know that some will rise, others will fall, and people I care deeply about will fall into both categories. It troubles me.

The H&W team has been one of the most active segments of CORAC activity for years. In this video, members with great experience and knowledge reflect on their work, natural medicine based on real science, stories of hope and transformation, friendship and collaboration.

We’ve had a holiday from vaxx news for a while, but we’ve always known it would come back up. After all, 5 billion people were injected with the thing. A lot is happening right now on the vaxx front.

The Battle For Science Conference
Del Bigtree, Peter McCullough, Sucharit Bhakdi, Angus Dalgleish, Mattias Desmet, Andrew Bridgen and other names you will recall from the covid wars, appeared together in the Netherlands for a two-day conference titled, “The Battle for Science.”

Here is a link to the panel discussion >
(1 hour, 28)

An Inconvenient Study
The gist of this film is a study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children. The results showed that the vaxxed were many times more likely to suffer from chronic disease, cancer, and autism. The medical industry is making children sick, or worse.

Watch here >

The HHS data
Amazingly, the data we’ve been needing for years to prove the fraud inherent in the medical/insurance industry is now open-sourced online. Elon Musk’s DOGE, with cooperation from other executive departments, has put up massive amounts of Medicare/Medicaid data (not patient-level info) that will allow anyone with a computer to track fraud and receive up to 30% of their findings. You can bet the nation’s whiz kids are on the job. Meanwhile, data analysts like Steve Kirsch now have access to the statistics on excess death, disability, chronic illness and vaccine injuries following the rollout of the covid jab.

Remember when Trump promised retribution? This is what it looks like. And the jab-injured may finally get help.

The Epstein Connection
Naturally, two of the most evil characters in the world would be found together. Gates and Epstein were great pals in their plans, including pandemic scenarios. See “Epstein Files Illuminate a 20-Year Architecture Behind Pandemics as a Business Model—With Bill Gates at the Center of the Network”

The word “Epstein” now signifies vastly more than one person. The millions of pages of Epstein disclosures have the potential to shift the entire world of politics and big business, and that’s no exaggeration. The media may have painted the Epstein Files as just one more sordid scandal, but it’s more than that. It’s basically Satan’s blueprint to enslave the world. I’m not kidding. This thing is bigger than any of us can imagine, both the worldwide scope and the profound evil of it.

My article for Crisis Magazine on the Epstein Cataclysm this morning >

In the article, I name several things we must do in the face of this horror (reject mainstream media, seek truth from independent media, and resolve to stay on the battle front) but they are all preparatory. They will ready us for further action, like boot camp prepares a soldier for battle. We must be found in spiritual and physical fitness in order to know what God will ask of us. We cannot let this revelation go to waste. This is our opportunity to put an end to it. The pieces have been sliding into place for a long time.

The enemy will do everything possible to cast doubt on the Epstein revelations. Already, only in the first few days that the documents have been made public, and even though they’re heavily redacted, CEOs are resigning, royals are being stripped of credentials, Democrat influencers are going dark. No one separates from their source of power and money without a darn good reason. What’s in the files is genuinely threatening to people of power.

At this point, you’ve either subscribed to Coffee & Covid, or moved to Venus. So I’m going to do something a little different here, and digest items from the week’s C&C posts that allow you to see patterns. There is much more in every post, but I am after patterns.

I still recommend Coffee & Covid as one of the most indispensable sources of daily news analysis. It will also make you laugh, improve your mood and frankly, give you hope for the future

See if you notice any patterns.

Saturday, Feb 7

• • The Dow soared over the 50K mark for the first time in history, leaving financial “experts” sputtering, as they had predicted that a Trump presidency would crash the economy.
  • Trump’s RX policies are righting the inequality in pricing, whereby American consumers paid more and foreign consumers paid less for prescriptions.

Monday, Feb 9

• • The three most noteworthy SuperBowl commercials were for Eat Real Food, a pro-ICE peaen, and a strange compilation of Epstein victims.
  • British heavyweights are falling like dominoes in the Epstein cataclysm.

Tuesday, Feb 10

• • Files reveal that Trump called police on Epstein, banned him from Mar-a-Lago, arrests him during Trump 1.0, and releases the files. Trump is the good guy, in other words.
  • Bill Maher apologized for ridiculing the Q assertion that elite pedophiles were in positions of world power.

Wednesday, Feb 11

• • FDA refuses approval for Moderna’s mRNA flu shot, due to lack of safety and efficacy trial success. Duh.
  • Roaring economic metrics show Trump’s policies are working. Bigly
  • AI advancements are making software obsolete.

Thursday, Feb 12

• • US House passes SAVE Act, and now it goes before the Senate. 75-85% Americans favor voter ID, but Senate Democrats will try to squash it. Trump has a Plan B.
  • Homeland Security Committee exposes outside funding of Minneapolis rioting, and $1 trillion of fraud in the US every year, going to trafficking, drugs and luxury items. $115 million per hour.

Friday, Feb 13

• • Trump and EPA director Zeldin reverse Obama regulations making carbon dioxide, one of the building blocks of the natural world, and methane (cow farts) “dangerous.” Tens of thousands of crippling regulations disappear overnight.
  • Epstein files take another high-level Democrat scalp.
  • Minnesota AG caught in bribery scandal with Somali fraudsters.

Saturday, Feb 14

• • HHS medical data is open-sourced (no patient-level data). Scott Bessant announces bounties to be paid to anyone who can use the data to prove fraud, up to 30%. Citizen analysts already hard at work.
  • The open-sourced data also provides the path to prove excess death and disability following the covid shot.
  • Epstein files take down a high-level Hollywood agent and a Democrat fundraising consultant.

Monday, Feb 16

• • RFK Jr. drops a bombshell named GRAS on 60 Minutes. Turns out thousands of unknown chemicals are in the food supply with manufacturers covering them as “generally recognized as safe.” This is a big story.
  • High-level JAMA study finds caffeine in coffee and tea improves cognitive performance!!!
  • ICE appears to be building infrastructure for very long-term deportation pipeline.

Tuesday, Feb 17

• • Big Pharma is having its Chernobyl moment; job, investment and growth opportunities being curtailed, as Trump’s administration requires safety and equitable pricing.
  • Pharma TV commercials are on the chopping block.
  • AI is outperforming human doctors, the ones who have proved themselves worse than unseless the past few years. AI stands to outperform woke Hollywood moviemakers as well.

Do you see the patterns? C&C is classic red-pilling. We are living in simply amazing times! Anyone still blackpilling isn’t seeing the big picture. We have no reason for despair, and every reason to hope and pray.

The conflict heats up. The SSPX needs to consecrate bishops for the survival of the Society. The Vatican, represented by the smirking prefect of the DDF, Tucho Fernandez, refuses but postpones the final chop until they can all sweetly agree about Vatican II. Through it all, SSPX Superior General maintains poise and charity.

Can Obedience Oblige Us to Disobey?

The team at Pillars of Faith sent out a formation letter to its lay associates last week, on the promises we made regarding prayer and sacraments upon joining the Fraternity. It was great motivation just before Lent begins.

I’ve been reading Jackson’s Hiraeth in Exile pretty regularly for Church news. Then this week, Jackson belittled Dr Peter Kwasniewski for not coming down hard enough on female altar servers wearing Adidas trainers at a Papal Mass. Dr. K is a sober, reliable, traditional Catholic scholar and traditional apologist. No way would he ever support altar girls, but because he didn’t condemn it fast enough, Jackson put him in the Catholic doghouse.

I hate it when we eat our own. That’s no way to muster the troops for the battle ahead.

I’ve decided to excuse Jackson for wearing his knickers too tight. He writes incisive and timely analysis of events in Rome, which I intend to keep reading, but with awareness that he tends toward scorched earth. I think he owes Dr. K an apology, and I hope that happens. They are natural allies, if Jackson can keep a civil tongue in his head. I will also keep reading Dr. Kwasniewski, who is practically above reproach in his work.

I ran across this post while looking for something entirely different. That’s usually my cue to pay attention. This was posted by Padre Peregrino (Fr. Dave Nix) and certainly has no imprimatur. It purports to be a letter from beyond, from a woman who minimized and eventually disbelieved her Catholic faith. The vision of hell instills me with holy fear, a respect for prayer and sacramental confession, and a determination to cling to Christ in the Church. Note: I would not recommend this to scrupulous souls.
