      DNA-Verunreinigungen im mRNA-Impfstoff

      Nachdem der Autor bereits mit einer Neuauflage seines Buchs "Die mRNA-Maschine" im Juli 2023 öffentlich gemacht hatte, dass in Deutschland in Verkehr gebrachte Chargen des COVID19 mRNA-Impfstoffs von BioNTech massiv mit DNA verunreinigt sind, liefert das Buch "Beschmutzt" eine tiefere Analyse dieser Thematik und tritt damit gegen ein mächtiges Kartell des Schweigens an. Die Erbarmungslosigkeit dieses Schweigens wurde dem Autor am 18. September 2023 deutlich vor Augen geführt. An diesem Tag begleitete er eine Petition an den Deutschen Bundestag und informierte den zuständigen Ausschuss vor Ort, aber auch die Öffentlichkeit per Liveübertragung im Parlamentsfernsehen, über die massiven Überschreitungen des Grenzwertes für DNA im mRNA-Impfstoff gleich um das mehrere Hundertfache und die damit verbundene Gefahren. Die mit mehreren Mitarbeitern anwesende parlamentarische Staatssekretärin des Bundesgesundheitsministeriums, Sabine Dittmar, widersprach nicht. Sie schwieg. Da die entsprechenden Beweise dem Ministerium aber bereits Ende August 2023 bekannt waren, konnte dieses Schweigen nichts anderes sein als eine stille Bestätigung der tatsächlichen Relevanz der DNA-Verunreinigungen im mRNA-Impfstoff für die Geimpften. Und zwar nicht nur für Deutschland, sondern weit darüber hinaus.

      In modern professional sports history, only a handful of elite players have spent their entire career with one franchise. The fact that Tom Brady has spent nearly two decades with one team, together with his on-field excellence, has formed an unbreakable bond with fans of the New England Patriots. Selected as the 199th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft, Brady is arguably the greatest quarterback in pro football history. He has six Super Bowl rings, four Super Bowl MVP awards, and is a three-time NFL MVP. Now playing in his twentieth NFL season, he is one of the longest-tenured players in league history. Author David Fischer celebrates Brady's career with passionate and vivid prose, supreme photographic images, call-out quotes, and boxed features. In addition, dozens of personal anecdotes and recollections about Brady from prominent members of the Patriots organization and the NFL community enhance the nostalgic experience.

      Dans Le Rêve de Champlain, l’historien américain David Hackett Fischer brosse un portrait profondément renouvelé et fascinant de cette figure que l’on croyait familière et en fait ressortir les multiples facettes : le soldat, l’espion à la solde du roi, l’artiste doué, le cartographe de génie et le navigateur hors pair. Champlain a lutté pour la réalisation d’un rêve immense, un Grand Dessein pour la France en Amérique. Pendant trente ans, il a sillonné un territoire que se partagent aujourd’hui six provinces canadiennes et cinq États américains, tout en menant un combat non moins farouche contre les ennemis de la Nouvelle-France à la cour d’Henri IV. Lui qui était né dans un pays ravagé par les guerres de religion, il a encouragé les mariages entre colons et Indiens, il a prêché la tolérance envers les protestants. Il a inlassablement tenté de maintenir la paix entre les nations indiennes, mais il a su quand il le fallait prendre les armes et imposer un nouvel équilibre politique, se révélant ainsi un guerrier et un stratège redoutables. Il a été un leader visionnaire, surtout si on le compare à ses contemporains anglais et espagnols, un homme qui rêvait d’un monde plus humain et vivant en paix, dans une époque marquée par la cruauté et la violence. Fruit d’une recherche colossale, accompagnée de nombreuses cartes et illustrations, dont plusieurs de la main de Champlain, cette grande biographie, la première depuis des décennies, est tout aussi enlevante que la vie de son modèle.
