Around the 30 minute mark, this brave nurse goes through the list of drugs administered to the one 37yo male patient at Elmhurst Hospital (in Queens). Please see that list below:-

  1. Nimbex (generic: cisatracurium besylate): adjunct to intubating
    known side effects (kse): low heart rate (bradycardia), dizziness
  2. Precedex (generic: dexmedetomidine hydrochloride): for intubating
    kse: hypotension, bradycardia, nausea, vomiting, atrial fibrillation
  3. Fentanyl (generic: fentanyl citrate): opioid
    kse: fever, respiratory depression, nausea, vomiting, and
    diaphoresis, hypoventilation
  4. Heparin (generic: heparin): blood thinner
    kse: severe headaches, coughing up blood, dizziness, bleeding
  5. Versed (generic: midazolam): anesthetic/sedative (a benzodiazepine)
    kse: anxiety, nausea, memory loss, dizziness, headaches,
    nightmares
  6. Propofol (generic: propofol): anesthetic/sedative
    kse: bradycardia, arrhythmia, hypotension, hyperlipidemia
  7. Neo-synephrine (generic: phenylephrine): decongestant, treats hypotension
    kse: dizziness, irregular heartbeat, headache, vomiting
  8. Levophed (generic: norepinephrine): synthetic harmone, neurotransmitter
    kse: anxiety, bradycardia, extravasation
  9. Desmopressin (generic: propofol): synthetic harmone, for fluid retention
    kse: dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting

Known Drug Interactions
Precedex-Propofol
Precedex-Versed
Fentanyl-Precedex
Fentanyl-Nimbex
Fentanyl-Propfol
Fentanyl-Versed

Not only does the opioid fentanyl cause fever, nausea and vomiting, but two other of its known “side” (direct really) effects are respiratory depression and hypoventilation.

What is “hypoventilation”?

Hypoventilation: The state in which a reduced amount of air enters the alveoli in the lungs, resulting in decreased levels of oxygen and increased levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. Hypoventilation can be due to breathing that is too shallow (hypopnea) or too slow (bradypnea), or to diminished lung function. The opposite of hypoventilation is hyperventilation (overbreathing).

Sound familiar? Most of those dealing with this fabricated panic have described patients not being able to get enough oxygen, which was then used as an excuse to put the patients/victims on ventilators (vents).

So the official playbook for this insanity could be properly summed up in the following manner:

  1. select and train a group of high-ranking medical professionals for a likely (because it’s already been planned) “pandemic”, complete with expected drug and treatment regiments to be implemented;
  2. use the media to instill as much panic as possible, and descriptions of how this fabricated threat manifests itself;
  3. begin admitting anyone who is foolish enough to go to these witch doctors for treatment, and then intentionally use a worthless PCR test that produces >80% false positives to increase the made-up numbers and terrify as many as possible;
  4. begin administering drugs that are known to cause and increase anxiety, to victims who are already anxious because of the state-sponsored terrorism being inflicted by this plannedemic;
  5. restrain and sedate the victims in preparation for intubating them and putting them on a vent;
  6. pump the victims full of opioids which will slowly kill them by depriving them of oxygen;
  7. place them on a vent to further damage their lungs so they’re incapable of recovering;
  8. give every resident and doctor-wanna-be an opportunity to experiment on the soon-to-be-cadavers;
  9. make it mandatory hospital policy to assume every patient is a DNR regardless of whether there is any DNR on file, so they can finish the job; and
  10. finish the victim off using whatever means necessary, fill out the government paperwork, record the death as a COVID-19 casualty, and report it to the media, to continue the scam in a self-perpetuating cycle.

And this is the false god people have made called “modern medicine”, which is in the for-profit-business of poisoning people to death.

“Ye CANNOT serve God and materialism” - Christ (Matt. 6:24).

Thousands of years and people are still being lured to their deaths (both physically and spiritually) by these snake oil salesmen, thieves and murderers instead of following the guidelines in the Manufacturer’s instruction manual.

2 Chronicles 16:12 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease [was] exceeding [great]: yet in his disease he sought not to the “I AM” , but to the physicians .

For those who may not realize yet that ALL chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs – including ALL vaccines – are POISONOUS to the human body, which is why the administration of drugs is a capital offense under The Law (see Exod. 22:18, Gal. 5:19-21), please carefully review the video interview in the opening post and the following brief history of the push for mandatory vaccinations for the alleged measles outbreak in NYC in April 2019, based upon 329 cases out of a population of 8,750,000 (0.0038 %).

9 April 2019 – corrupt NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio commits treason(1) by ordering unlawful and unconstitutional mandatory vaccinations

From: https://www.statnews.com/2019/04/09/new-york-city-mandatory-vaccines-measles/

NEW YORK — New York City declared a public health emergency Tuesday over a measles outbreak and ordered mandatory vaccinations in one neighborhood for people who may have been exposed to the virus.

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the unusual order amid what he said was a measles “crisis” in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg section, where more than 250 people, mostly members of an ultra-Orthodox Jewish religious community, have gotten measles since September.

The order applies to anyone living, working or going to school in four ZIP codes in the neighborhood. The declaration requires all unvaccinated people who may have been exposed to the virus to get the vaccine, including children over 6 months old.

People who ignore the order could be fined $1,000. The city said it would help everyone covered by the order get the vaccine if they can’t get it quickly through their regular medical provider.

“If people will simply cooperate quickly, nobody will have to pay a fine,” de Blasio said.

19 April 2019 – corrupt Brooklyn judge Lawrence Knipel commits treason(1) by ruling in favor of unlawful and unconstitutional mandatory vaccinations

From: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/19/judge-upholds-new-york-citys-mandatory-measles-vaccination-order.html

A Brooklyn judge on Thursday ruled against a group of parents who challenged New York City’s recently imposed mandatory measles vaccination order, rejecting their arguments that the city’s public health authority exceeded its authority.

In a six-page decision rendered hours after a hearing on the matter, Judge Lawrence Knipel denied the parents’ petition seeking to lift the vaccination order, imposed last week to stem the worst measles outbreak to hit the city since 1991.

The judge sided with municipal health officials who defended the order as a rare but necessary step to contain a surge in the highly contagious disease that has infected at least 329 people so far, most of them children from Orthodox Jewish communities in the borough of Brooklyn.

13 June 2019 – corrupt NY state Gov. Andrew Cuomo commits treason(1) by signing an unlawful and unconstitutional bill ending vaccination exemption based on religious beliefs

From: https://www.npr.org/2019/06/13/732501865/new-york-advances-bill-ending-religious-exemptions-for-vaccines-amid-health-cris?t=1597656864704

Updated at 4:33 p.m. ET Friday

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill Thursday ending vaccination exemptions based on religious beliefs, the latest attempt to address the growing measles outbreak, the worst the U.S. has experienced in decades.

Cuomo said plugging the loophole should help contain the spike in measles cases in New York, the state hardest hit by the uptick in the contagious virus due to low vaccination rates in ultra-Orthodox communities.

“The science is crystal clear: Vaccines are safe, effective and the best way to keep our children safe,” Cuomo said after signing the bill. “While I understand and respect freedom of religion, our first job is to protect the public health and by signing this measure into law, we will help prevent further transmissions and stop this outbreak right in its tracks.”


Queens and Brooklyn are adjacent boroughs in New York City. So the alleged measles outbreak (more on that in a subsequent post) in Brooklyn in 2019 would literally be within a few miles of the Elmhurst hospital in Queens.


(1)Yes, treason…

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not ADD unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it , that ye may keep the Commandments of the “I AM” your God which I COMMAND you.

Deuteronomy 12:8 Ye shall not do after all [the things] that we do here this day, every man whatsoever [is] right in his own eyes .
Deuteronomy 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto , nor diminish from it .

Deuteronomy 17:11-13
17:11 According to The Sentence of The Law which they shall teach thee, and according to the Judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline to do The Sentence which they shall show thee, and turn not away from it [to] the right hand, nor [to] the left.
17:12 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the “I AM” thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and [thus] thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.
17:13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously (in thinking they are a law unto themselves) .

Even by their own made-up rules, what they’ve done is considered an act of treason.

The U.S. Supreme Court has stated that “No state legislator or executive or judicial officer can war against the Constitution without violating his undertaking to support it.” Cooper v. Aaron , 358 U.S. 1, 78 S. Ct. 1401 (1958).

Any judge who does not comply with his oath to the Constitution of the United States, wars against that Constitution and engages in violation of the Supreme Law of the Land. If a judge does not fully comply with the Constitution, then his orders are void, In re Sawyer , 124 U.S. 200 (1888), he is without jurisdiction, and he/she has engaged in an act or acts of treason. U.S. v. Will , 449 U.S. 200 (1980); Cohens v. Virginia , 19 U.S. 264 (1821).

There isn't one single shred of scientific evidence that the so-called measles virus even exists.

Biologist Proves Measles Isn't A Virus, Wins Supreme Court Case Against Doctor

In a recent ruling, judges at the German Federal Supreme Court (BGH) confirmed that the measles virus does not exist.

Furthermore, there is not a single scientific study in the world which could prove the existence of the virus in any scientific literature. THIS RAISES THE QUESTION OF WHAT WAS ACTUALLY INJECTED INTO MILLIONS OVER THE PAST FEW DECADES.

So were the mandatory vaccinations in NYC administered during the latter half of 2019 responsible for NYC becoming the "epicenter" of what's being referred to as SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)?

And just look what was happening at the same time (April 2019) that de Blasio was declaring a state of emergency over the alleged measles cases?

http://2019.brooklyn5gsummit.com/

The Summit will build on the themes of the past five years, with a focus on the ‘ First year of the 5G era ’.

Why was the focus of the April 2019 5G summit on the first year of the 5G era? Because 2019 was the year 5G was introduced in NYC.

https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/19/20873652/verizon-5g-new-york-city-manhattan

For those who may be wondering about the connection between the mandatory vaccination program and the rollout of 5G, please consider the following:-

From: Toxic Vaccine Ingredients: The Devil is in the Details • Children's Health Defense

Beyond the mercury-based preservative thimerosal, a known neurotoxin that has been linked to many serious health conditionsincluding autism, vaccines are rife with other often questionable components, such as:

  • ALUMINUM
  • Antibiotics
  • Egg protein
  • Formaldehyde
  • Monosodium glutamate (MSG)
  • Squalene
  • Gelatin
  • Polysorbate 80
  • Aborted human fetal tissue

Aluminum reflects microwave radiation, while the human body, made mostly of water, absorbs the microwave radiation.

What this means, in simple terms, is that having small (nano-size) aluminum particles injected into one's bloodstream, which will eventually embed in tissue (including brain tissue), will amplify the negative health effects of microwave radiation within the body.

@ A_Freeman

If I recall correctly, I believe it was Florida that did the same (ending religious exemptions) back in 2019. I posted that particular piece of legislation elsewhere (here on this site), but am not exactly sure what thread it was posted too.

In the hospital setting, it has always been about the money. When keeping patients alive and actually not allowing them to die (when death was clearly going to be the outcome anyway), was a moneymaker, then that is what was done. That was very wrong, because instead of allowing a person to die peacefully, with dignity, many were tortured in my opinion with medical interference to keep them alive as long as possible because it brought in the money. Now it has become more "cost effective" to let the people die; the more the better; kill them with medical protocols; and so that is what is being done. And behind all these devious actions that allow this to occur is legislation (un-Lawfully). No liability for death from vaccinations is just one example.

Would like to add, if I may, that The Law (Law of God) is not a religion. Father is not a religion. People turn these things into religions that divide and conquer; but, the reality is Moses and The Law are historical facts. Jesus and His Laws are historical facts. People are always going to debate and fight. That is their nature. Truth / The Bible is historical. It is not a religion.

Never Forget: April 2020 Study Found That Most New York Covid Patients on Ventilators Died While Fauci and Cuomo Pushed for More Ventilators

A study of Covid patients hospitalised between 1 March 2020 and 4 April 2020 was conducted at facilities overseen by Northwell Health, New York State’s largest health system. Among the 2,634 patients whose outcomes were known, the overall death rate was 21%, but it rose to 88% for those who received mechanical ventilation. Simply put, most patients died after being placed on a mechanical ventilator.

The study was conducted by researchers at the Northwell Covid-19 Research Consortium, submitted for publication in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) on 16 April and published on 22 April 2022, see HERE

On 15 March 2020, Dr. Anthony Fauci, a so-called “infectious disease expert,” said on CNN’s “State of the Union”: “There are 12,700 ventilators in the ‘stockpile’: If you don’t have enough ventilators, it’s obvious people who need it will not be able to get it. That’s when you’re going to have to make some very tough decisions.”

A few weeks before Northwell researchers published their study, Fauci was again pushing for Covid patients to be “treated” with ventilators. He called for an additional 30,000 ventilators for coronavirus-stricken New Yorkers.

On 29 March, The New York Post reported that Fauci said the “bottom line” is New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has to have the ventilators he needs to treat people stricken with the coronavirus in New York as it struggles with the largest number of cases in the nation.

“One way or another, he needs the ventilators that he needs and hopefully we will get him the ventilators that he needs. They may be closer to him than is realised but if they’re not, we’ll get them there. And if they are, we’ll try to get him access to the ones that are there, Fauci said. “Bottom line, he’s got to have the ventilators. Period.”

Cuomo had reiterated the need for the thousands of ventilators the week before after President Trump said he was sceptical that such a large number was required. “All the predictions say you could have an apex needing 140,000 beds and about 40,000 ventilators,” Cuomo said, “we’re following the data and the science.”

The largest analysis of hospitalised US Covid-19 patients to date finds that most did not survive after being placed on a mechanical ventilator.

The study included the health records of 5,700 Covid-19 patients hospitalised between 1 March and 4 April at facilities overseen by Northwell Health, New York State’s largest health system.

Among the 2,634 patients for whom outcomes were known, the overall death rate was 21%, but it rose to 88% for those who received mechanical ventilation, the Northwell Health Covid-19 Research Consortium reported.

Texas Ramping up Efforts to Fight Fentanyl Crisis Impacting Communities

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has instructed state agency heads to “look for ways to enhance all aspects of the state’s response to” the fentanyl crisis, including creating public service announcements, posting flyers in prominent locations around regulated facilities, training staff, or providing educational opportunities.

They’ve also been instructed to prepare “to outline statutory changes, budget priorities, and other initiatives that will enhance the state’s ability to interdict this dangerous drug, provide emergency overdose treatment, and expand substance abuse treatment programs” ahead of the 2023 legislative session and to coordinate their efforts with the Texas Opioid Abatement Fund Council.

In a letter sent to agency heads, Abbott wrote, “It has become clear that fentanyl is impacting individuals with and without substance use disorders. Unfortunately, most individuals who suffer a fentanyl-related death probably did not know they were ingesting the deadly drug. Many of those who were poisoned unwittingly ingested deadly counterfeits that appeared to be prescription drugs, which were acquired outside of the healthcare system.”

His letter comes after 18 state attorneys general have called on President Joe Biden to label illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. Montgomery County, Texas, Sheriff Rand Henderson has also called for it to be labeled as a WMD and Tulare County, California, Sheriff Mike Boudreaux argues fentanyl pills “coming across our southern border is absolutely one of the biggest issues we are facing as a country.”

Two milligrams of the synthetic opioid, the weight of a mosquito, is lethal. A teaspoon holds about 5,000 milligrams, enough to kill 2,500 people. One pound of fentanyl, or 453,592 milligrams, could kill 226,796 people.

In 2021, Texas reported an 89 percent increase in fentanyl-related deaths compared to 2020.

Fentanyl is the leading cause of death of adults in the U.S. between the ages of 18 and 45. In 2020, 77 percent of all teen overdose deaths involved fentanyl, according to a study published by JAMA.

Most drugs laced with fentanyl in the U.S. are being manufactured by cartel operatives in Mexico and made to look like legitimate prescription drug pills. They’re easier and less expensive to produce than other types of illicit drugs and can be easily carried in backpacks or hidden inside cargo brought across the border. More recently, “rainbow fentanyl” pills that look like candy are flooding the market and are intentionally being marketed to children.

“Simply put, fentanyl is a clandestine killer, and Texans are falling victim to the cartels that are producing it,” Abbott said. “Due to the threats posed by an open border and in the absence of federal action,” he launched Texas’ border security mission, Operation Lone Star, last March. Since then, Texas Department of Public Safety officials have seized more than 336 million lethal doses of fentanyl, enough fentanyl to kill every man, woman, and child in the U.S.

In July alone, U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized 2,100 pounds of illicit fentanyl. In fiscal 2021, CBP agents seized 11,200 pounds of fentanyl. So far in fiscal 2022, they’ve seized 10,600 pounds.

In both fiscal years so far, CBP agents have confiscated enough fentanyl to kill nearly 5 billion people.

The world’s population is currently 7.9 billion people, according to Worldometer.

While law enforcement officers’ efforts “are noteworthy and commendable,” Abbott argues they “alone cannot be expected to end this crisis.”

GOP Senators Release PSA To Parents About Dangers Of Rainbow Fentanyl Ahead Of Halloween

A group of Republican Senators are warning parents and guardians about the dangers of Rainbow Fentanyl.

13 GOP Senators, led by Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kan), released a public service announcement on Thursday. There, they outlined measures parents can take in order to protect their children from the dangerous drug.

The Senators are especially concerned as Halloween approaches.

Their message comes after the Drug Enforcement Administration announced that drug cartels appear to be trying to sell fentanyl that is made to look like candy to children and young people.

The Senators are also reminding parents and guardians to check their children’s candy for any drugs, candies without wrappers and candy that looks suspiciously packaged.

The CDC has reported that synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, are the primary driver of overdose deaths in the United States.

Texas Lawmakers Unanimously Pass Bill That Will Allow Fentanyl Dealers To Be Charged With Murder by Cassandra MacDonald Mar. 17, 2023

(Texas Lawmakers Unanimously Pass Bill That Will Allow Fentanyl Dealers To Be Charged With Murder | The Gateway Pundit | by Cassandra MacDonald)

Texas lawmakers have passed a bill to allow fentanyl dealers to be charged with murder.

The “Combating Fentanyl” bill introduced by Republican Sen. Joan Huffman, SB 645, passed unanimously.

The legislation would reclassify deaths due to fentanyl as poisonings and open up anyone who makes, sells, or delivers the drug to being charged with murder if someone overdoses.

According to a report from the Texas Tribune, “the bill would also increase the penalty for making or delivering less than 1 gram of fentanyl from a state jail felony to a third-degree felony. If a person dies from an overdose as a result of that manufacturing or delivery of the drug, that penalty is escalated to a second-degree felony. In 2021, Huffman authored a law that increased penalties for manufacturing or delivering more than 1 gram of fentanyl.”

“Huffman’s bill would also stiffen penalties for making, delivering or possessing larger quantities of fentanyl,” the report continued. “Having between 200 and 400 grams would be a first-degree felony, which could lead to between 10 years and life in prison as well as a fine of up to $100,000. Having more than 400 grams would also be a first-degree felony punishable by at least 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.”

The bill has an exception for medical professionals who prescribe the drug to treat a patient.
Speaking on the Senate floor while introducing her bill, Sen. Huffman pointed out that the highly lethal drug is flooding across our borders.

“We have tragically learned the extent of how dangerous fentanyl is and how even under 1 gram is so dangerous,” Huffman said on Wednesday. “It’s a fact that fentanyl is flooding our borders. It is absolutely, without a doubt, killing our citizens on a daily basis. And it’s time that we take a comprehensive approach to combat this.”

As little as 2 milligrams of fentanyl can kill a person, depending on their body size.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott celebrated the bill passing through the state’s senate in a tweet on Wednesday night.

# Andrew Cuomo subpoenaed by congressional subcommittee investigating COVID-era handling of nursing homes

House panel probes COVID-19 origins

The House subcommittee tasked with investigating the nation's response to the coronavirus pandemic on Tuesday subpoenaed former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in relation to his administration's handling of nursing homes during the pandemic, according to documents first obtained by ABC News.

Specifically, the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic is seeking to question Cuomo about one of his administration's most controversial COVID-era directives: instructing nursing homes to admit recovering COVID-positive patients from hospitals, a move that has faced criticism that it led to increased deaths in nursing homes.

The subpoena and letter from the Republican-led subcommittee is the latest development for the former New York governor, who has faced intense scrutiny into his administration's handling of nursing homes during the pandemic. In 2021, ABC News reported that federal prosecutors in Brooklyn were investigating Cuomo's coronavirus task force with a focus on nursing homes. No charges were brought.

(House panel investigating COVID-19's origins holds first hearing - ABC News)

"Accordingly, attached to this letter please find a subpoena for you to appear for a deposition," Tuesday's letter states.

The subpoena was signed by Republican Rep. James Comer, the chairman of the Oversight Committee, which authorizes the subcommittee to issue subpoenas. It requests a May 24 deposition in Washington.

Cuomo, who was at one point heralded for his leadership during the pandemic and became known for his daily briefings, has defended the March 2020 directive, which he reversed weeks later. He said it was based squarely on federal guidelines and accused those investigating the issue of "playing politics."

In a statement on Tuesday, Cuomo's spokesperson said the subpoena was "an obvious press charade" and said that Congress is "play[ing] politics with Covid and weaponiz[ing] people's pain and loss of loves ones."

In the seven-page letter to Cuomo that accompanied Tuesday's subpoena, the committee said his testimony was "vital" as the panel continues it to investigate "the effectiveness of federal guidance and regulations" that were implemented during the pandemic.

The committee, chaired by Republican Rep. Brad Wenstrup, in its letter directly linked what it called Cuomo's "misguided decision" to "predictable but deadly consequences" in nursing homes, and referenced "troubling evidence" that Cuomo's administration "at best downplayed its impacts and at worst covered them up."

"Former Governor Cuomo owes answers to the 15,000 families who lost loved ones in New York nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic," said Chairman Wenstrup in a statement. "His testimony is crucial to uncover the circumstances that led to his misguided policies and for ensuring that fatal mistakes never happen again."

New York State Department of Health report that analyzed the effects of the directive found it "could not be the driver" of cases or deaths in nursing homes. An impeachment investigation into Cuomo later found that report had been "substantially revised by the Executive Chamber and largely intended to combat criticisms" about the directive.
Cuomo has also come under fire for allegedly misreporting the number of COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes. In early 2021, a report from New York State Attorney General Letitia James found that COVID deaths in New York state had been "undercounted" by as much as 50%.
