Over 57,000 Express Concern with Human Feeding Trials of GMO Bananas

bananaSimultaneous demonstrations in Ames and Seattle highlight controversy surrounding Gates Foundation-funded Transgenic Banana Study at Iowa State University

Ames, IA and Seattle, WA:  On Monday February 15th, Iowa State University graduate students will deliver 57,309 petition signatures to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at ISU while AGRA Watch members deliver the same petition to the headquarters of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in Seattle, Washington. (The petitions will be delivered at 9:30am PST and 11:30am CST.) The petition asks the University and the Gates Foundation to cease supporting the transgenic banana study, including human feeding trials, and to change the trajectory for this type of research conducted at public universities.  Petition signatures were collected by ISU graduate students, AGRA Watch and CREDO Action.

With the purported goal of reducing Vitamin A deficiency in Uganda and other parts of the world, genetically modified bananas are enriched with beta carotene. The study examines the extent to which the bananas’ beta carotene is converted to Vitamin A in the body and absorbed by consumers.  The study is funded by the Gates Foundation.

Hillary And Bill . . . Gates

hillary-and-bill-gatesBy Brandon Turbeville

If close association with one seedy Bill were not enough, Hillary has locked arms with another. This time, Bill’s last name is Gates and his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation comes with him. While most uninformed Americans see Gates as a technology genius and successful entrepreneur, Gates’ Foundation has been hard at work all across the world promoting dumbed-down education policies, coercive vaccination, GM food, abortion, and sterilization.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is also one of the seven largest donors to the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.[4] The two foundations have also partnered together on a number of initiatives such as the No Ceilings Full Participation Report.

Bill Gates pretends to care immensely for the poor, particularly in Third World countries, but the truth is that his Foundation’s vaccination and “family planning” (read abortion and sterilization) efforts are not centered around public health, they are based in eugenics and population reduction.

After all, it was Bill Gates himself who stated as much publicly when he said, “The world today has 6.8 billion people… that’s headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.”

The History of the Rockefeller’s Domination of Global Energy Resources

Most people have some knowledge of the Rockefeller influence upon society. But few actually know the truth about the type of people they are. James Corbet does a stellar job of research and presentation of the facts as they happened that brought this unscrupulous family to the position of control they are now. Only knowledge and exposure of the true nature of their future plans can extract us from their clutches. This is a ‘must see’ documentary to awaken you and destroy the illusion of a benevolent research foundation that they portray themselves as. I’m sure you will use far less flattering terms to describe them once you see this excellent presentation.

Bayer and US Govt Knowingly Gave HIV to Thousands of Children

BAyerBy Matt Agorist

What if a company that you thought you could trust, knowingly sold you a medicine for your child that they knew had the potential to give your child HIV? How would you react? What if a government agency that claims the responsibility for protecting you from such treachery, not only looked the other way, but was complicit in this exchange?

Everyone has heard of Bayer aspirin, it is a household name. Bayer AG also manufactures numerous other products, from pesticides to medicine for hemophiliacs called Factor 8.

In 1984 Bayer became aware that several batches of this Factor 8 contained HIV. They knew this because there was an outbreak of HIV among hemophiliac children, and this outbreak was traced back to Bayer.

Unable to sell their Factor 8 in the US, Bayer, with the FDA’s permission, (yes that’s right, the FDA allowed Bayer to potentially kill thousands) sold this HIV infected medicine to Argentina, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore after February 1984, according to the documents obtained by the NY Times. The documents showed how Cutter Biological, a division of Bayer, shipped more than 100,000 vials of unheated concentrate, worth more than $4 million, after it began selling the safer product.

The result of this sale of HIV tainted medication ended up infecting tens of thousands and killing thousands. Thousands of innocent children and adults have died at the hand of this corporation and no punitive action has been taken against them. The health department leaders in Argentina, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore were all imprisoned, while the US FDA continues down its hellish path.

When asked about the sale of the tainted Factor 8, Bayer responded, ”Decisions made nearly two decades ago were based on the best scientific information of the time and were consistent with the regulations in place.” This can be interpreted as Bayer asking the FDA for permission to murder children for profit and the FDA giving its approval. According to the NY Times, the Food and Drug Administration’s regulator of blood products, Dr. Harry M. Meyer Jr., asked that the issue be ”quietly solved without alerting the Congress, the medical community and the public.”

No one in the government nor Bayer have been charged with anything in regards to this matter. Bayer continues to sell its Factor 8 medication to this day.

MONSANTO EXPOSED as Source for White Phosphorus Used in Gaza Massacre

monsanto-white-phosphorusBy Justin Gardner

Monsanto has earned the dubious reputation of being one of the most hated companies in the world. Its grand proclamations of working to feed the world and help the environment have been exposed for a sham.

Their genetically modified (GM) crops have not increased yields, despite claims to the contrary. What they have done is: 1) encouraged monoculture, industrialized farming, 2) smothered out the sustainable, non-GM farmer, 3) waylaid beneficial insect populations and aquatic habitats with Bt toxins, 4) caused the emergence of several superweeds, 5) increased the use of chemical herbicides, notably Roundup, and 6) undertaken a giant human heath experiment with GM foods.

Amassing wealth is Monsanto’s single goal, and it does this through government force, primarily by securing patents on life. Monsanto has also managed to infiltrate government agencies with its own former employees so the power of centralized government can be used to further dominate the market. The recently signed Trans-Pacific Partnership is exhibit A of this global cronyism.

No other country is more controlled by Monsanto than the U.S. Here they find easy ground to wreck civil rights in order to build a more perfect corporatocracy. But agriculture is fairly recent territory for the GM giant.

The chemical manufacturing side of Monsanto goes back a long way, most notably to Vietnam where Agent Orange was used to decimate vast swaths of tropical rainforest and poison countless Vietnamese civilians and soldiers, including American. The popular 2-4, D herbicide used today was an ingredient in Agent Orange.

But Monsanto’s role as a purveyor of deadly military chemicals goes even deeper. For at least 20 years it has supplied the U.S. government with white phosphorus (WP) for incendiary weapons. What’s more, some of this white phosphorus was used in Israel’s invasion of Gaza at the end of 2008, known as Operation Cast Lead or, more appropriately, the Gaza Massacre.

Israel denied using WP at first, but admitted to using it in Gaza under media pressure. It said the WP was used as an obscurant and illuminant, but even this type of use is banned in civilian areas under the Geneva Convention. According to Sputnik News, in 2009 the U.S. State Department confirmed that WP weapons from its Arkansas plant were sent to Israel for use in the Gaza invasion.

The Monsanto connection to Israel’s war crimes and other uses of white phosphorus was exposed when Current Events Inquiry scoured documents on the US Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website, finding that the agribusiness company provided 180,000 pounds of WP to the government for making projectiles at its Pine Bluff Arsenal in Arkansas.

The Government is aware of only one source, Monsanto, who currently manufactures WP in the US. WP requires specialized technology, skills and processes in its production. These technologies and skills must be protected within the NTIB [National Technology and Industrial Base, a term for the “persons and organizations that are engaged in research, development, production, integration, services, or information technology activities conducted within the United States and Canada”] in the event of a national emergency. […] Maintaining these skills within the NTIB is essential if the capability to produce WP is to be preserved. Without this restriction to the NTIB, there is a risk the domestic capacity to manufacture WP could be lost […] With only one known producer of WP in the NTIB (Monsanto), the Government’s support of this domestic capability is critically important as it reduces the risk to the war fighter in times of national emergency as well as avoiding a potentially dangerous dependency upon a foreign source.

Government procures the WP through a third-party contractor known as ICL Performance Products, which is a subsidiary of Israel Chemicals, Ltd. Before using white phosphorus during the Gaza Massacre, in violation of the Geneva Convention, Israel had used white phosphorus in Lebanon in 2006. The U.S. military had also used white phosphorus munitions during the battle of Fallujah in 2004.                                                             Sputnik News goes on to describe the effects of WP when people are close enough to feel its effects, as in heavily populated civilian areas such as Gaza.

White phosphorus does not just maim, but can kill. It ignites upon contact with skin and burns either until it runs out of fuel or is cut off from oxygen. If inhaled or swallowed it can cause severe damage to any mucous membranes with which it comes in contact.

Absorption through the skin means that a 10% burn can cause damage to internal organs such as the heart, liver, or kidneys, and can be fatal. Even after healing from an initial exposure, victims can suffer from long-lasting health problems, including birth defects and neurological damage.

The making of chemicals has always been a lucrative business for Monsanto, especially when it comes to supplying the military, from Agent Orange in Vietnam to white phosphorus today. Who knows what else it makes in the interest of death and destruction?

Censorship Around the World Still at High Levels

humanfreedom-By Makia Freeman

Censorship is still a big issue around the world. Censorship remains at high levels in many countries, despite the fact that we tend to think we live in a world without that much of it (at least in the so-called “enlightened and developed West”). Why are censorship levels so high? There can really only be one reason for it in the end: our so-called “authorities” are afraid of free thought, free speech and the free flow of information. Why? Because it would uncover their secrets, expose their corruption, contradict their fake narratives, dissolve mental structures and undo notions of citizen obedience and civic duty that have been drilled into us since birth, mainly through military- and Rockefeller-influenced education.

Rampant Censorship Around the World

If you are still in any doubt about the blatant levels of censorship that exist in our world today, take a look at the following examples. Just days ago, Israel threatened to ban “contrary to reality” headlines by annulling the press credentials of journalists and editors who used them. Turkey has been arresting journalists for years, and things have sharply escalated with the very dictatorial President Erdogan who got busted buying oil from and supplying weapons to ISIS. (Erdogan, by the way, is the very same guy that is still trying to get a Turkish citizen thrown in prison for “insulting the President” because the man compared Erdogan to Gollum from Lord of the Rings.) Some nations take it even further; in Thailand you can actually get imprisoned not only for insulting the King, but also for insulting the king’s dog.

China is so scared of the free flow of information that they have enormous firewalls maintained by their “Ministry of Truth” that gets to decide what people can and cannot see and read online. In Eritrea and North Korea, there is no independent journalism; all news media is published by the State. Even in the US, where freedom of the press is enshrined and protected in the 1st Amendment, Congresswomen Dianne Feinstein in 2013 put forth an amendment to narrow the definition of journalism and weed out those who were not, as considered by her, “real reporters”.

Europe: Considering Banning Hyperlinks

Europe, it seems, is doing its best not to be left out of the censorship list. Just this week, the highest court in the European Union was hearing arguments to ban hyperlinks. That’s right: in an extraordinary example of governmental overreach, Europe is actually thinking about upholding a law to ban you from linking to other content and sites on the Internet! What’s coming next? Wait for it … a law requiring that we ask the Government the permission to breathe?

It is no understatement to say that linking to other sites is one of the key foundational mechanisms of the entire Internet. It’s a basic building block of the Web. Independent journalist Matt Drudge warned this was coming in October 2015 when he revealed that copyright laws could ban hyperlinking, and that he was told by a Supreme Court justice that “they’ve got the votes now to enforce copyright law”.

American Censorship: The Mockingbird Never Died

Operation Mockingbird was a CIA Project that began around the late 1940s/early 1950s, led by Frank Wisner, Cord Meyer and Allen Dulles – the latter being the notorious CIA Director who was the ringleader of the men who killed JFK. Of course, control of the media is a central component in any would-be tyrant’s agenda; it is no surprise that such a scheme has been outlined in key conspiracy documents such as the The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, the 10 planks of Communism and also in Orwell’s 1984. By 1975 the control of the press in America by the CIA was so obvious that Senator Frank Church launched an investigation into it.

The Agency’s relationship with [The New York] Times was by far its most valuable among newspapers, according to CIA officials. [It was] general Times policy … to provide assistance to the CIA whenever possible. – The CIA and the Media, by Carl Bernstein

The Mockingbird has never died. The evidence indicates that censorship in America is worse under Obama than before (see the article Obama Is More Hostile Towards The Press Than Any President In History). In 2015, the US dropped to 49th place in the world for press freedom, behind Malta, Niger, Burkino Faso, El Salvador, Tonga, Chile and Botswana. Meanwhile, the CIA continues to control foreign journalists, such as the ones in Germany, and bribes them to write anti-Russian propaganda, as revealed by Udo Ulfkotte. Udo admitted he was “educated to lie and betray, not to tell the truth to the public … by the CIA.”

Not Just Political Censorship – Heaps of Health Censorship Too

There is not just a lot of political censorship. Look at the massive amount of censorship that exists in the area of health, medicine and nutrition. Big Pharma is given free rein to say anything it wants, yet makers of natural health products can’t truthfully say what a health product does, what effects it has or what results it has. Often, they can’t show testimonials either, thanks to the free speech gestapo at the FDA. All the health censorship is obviously designed to protect the Rockefeller-Big Pharma monopoly on drugs, and prevent people from knowing the truth about natural alternatives and taking their health into their own hands.

Political Correctness – The Cunning New Form of Censorship

Political correctness is the new censorship – and a cunning one at that. Political correctness is intolerance disguised as tolerance. It is, as the late great comedian George Carlin once said, “awkward, dishonest language” and “fascism pretending to be manners”. Political correctness came from the Rothschild Frankfurt School – part of the broader NWO agenda of cultural Marxism aimed at slowly and softly making you less free.

It operates on the premise that if people’s feelings get hurt by certain words, or if people feel insulted, offended or irritated by certain languages, then they have the right to get the State to outlaw that language. As Carlin says:

(Political correctness) presents itself as fairness, yet attempts to restrict and control people’s language with strict codes and rigid rules … I’m not sure silencing people, or forcing them to alter their speech, is the best method for solving problems that go much deeper than speech.

Political correctness works by using guilt and shaming you into using certain words or phrases, and not using others. It often stands reality on its head, with a verbal sleight of hand. It is a clever way to force people to police themselves, and to control the spectrum of allowable thought and speech. It needs to be exposed and resisted by all freedom-loving people.

Censorship Only Exists Because the Truth is So Powerful

Although this topic of censorship is a sad one, do not be depressed. There is a positive and fundamental truth underlying this issue. Authorities only censor information because THEY can’t handle the truth, not the reverse as it commonly thought. Governments around the world engage in censorship because they are afraid, deadly afraid, of how the free flow of information could undermine their power base. At one level, they don’t trust people to read for themselves, think for themselves and judge the news for themselves. At another level, they fear the exposure of their secrets and corruption.

Truth will always be more powerful than lies. And ultimately, a lie can only be censored and can only exist for so long until it is uncovered, exposed, disbelieved and tossed away. Today, we live in an age of uncovering lies and promoting the truth as has never happened before.

Biowarfare? Genetically Modified Mosquitos Spreading The Zika Virus

mosquito-By Stephen Lendman

The Zika virus is related to dengue fever, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and West Nile viruses.

So far, drugs aren’t effective against it. A vaccine if developed will do more harm than good. Most infected individuals suffer mild illness, called Zika disease.

Potentially deadly Guillain-Barre syndrome at times occurs. Fetuses are at risk for microcephaly, an abnormally small head in relation to the rest of the body and underdeveloped brain, permanent damage.

Zika has been around for decades, occasional outbreaks occurring in Africa and Asia – currently in Central and South America, Brazil its epicenter.

It’s being spread by genetically engineered mosquitos. Is it the latest example of US biowarfare? America’s sordid history suggests it.

In 1931, Dr. Cornelius Rhoads infected human subjects with cancer cells – under the auspices of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Investigations. He later conducted radiation exposure experiments on American soldiers and civilian hospital patients.

In 1932, the Tuskegee Syphilis Study infected 200 unwitting Black men, using them as human guinea pigs, denying them treatment, following the progression of their disease, deliberately letting them suffer and die.

In 1940, 400 Chicago prisoners were infected with malaria to study the effects of new and experimental drugs.

At least since the 1940s, America had an active biological warfare program, using controversial methods to test bioweapons.

VA hospital patients have been used as human guinea pigs for medical experiments. Biological agents were released in US cities (including New York and San Francisco) to test the effects of germ warfare.

America’s deplorable history at home and abroad includes numerous other examples. Washington uses biological, chemical, radiological and other banned weapons in all its wars.

Are US-unleashed genetically modified mosquitos being used to wage biological warfare in Central and South America?

The Zika virus outbreak is linked to GM mosquitos released in field trials funded by Bill Gates.

The corporate-controlled World Health Organization (WHO) said Zika “is now spreading explosively” in the Americas, hyping an estimated three to four million people at risk over the next year.

Central and South American nations urged women to avoid pregnancy for at least two years. Is Zika being used as an attempted population control scheme?

GM mosquitos allegedly released to keep dengue fever, yellow fever, chikungunga (a crippling mosquito-borne virus) and zika from spreading are facilitating its outbreaks in numerous Central and South American countries – notably Brazil and Colombia.

The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) warned of potential small Zika outbreaks in southern Florida and Texas.

UK biotech company Oxford Insect Technologies developed GM mosquitos with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funding – a profit-making enterprise, masquerading as a charitable one.

One critic called its operations “vulture philanthropy,” investing in companies causing health problems they claim to be combatting.

Not coincidentally, Zika’s outbreak occurred where GM mosquitos were released last year in Brazil, now affecting about 20 Central and South American countries.

Maybe areas in southern US states will follow. What’s happening has the earmarks of state-sponsored biowarfare.

Scientists Receive Approval to Genetically Engineer Human Embryos

embryoBy Derrick Broze

London, England — While many people are focused on the effects of genetically engineered food, concerns over genetically modified human embryos are also growing — and some fear the technology could lead to the creation of “designer babies.”

Reuters reports that “Less than a year after Chinese scientists caused an international furor by saying they had genetically modified human embryos, Kathy Niakan, a stem cell scientist from London’s Francis Crick Institute, was granted a license to carry out similar experiments.

“‘The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has approved a research application from the Francis Crick Institute to use new “gene editing” techniques on human embryos,’ Niakan’s lab said on Monday.”

The research will focus on “the first seven days of a fertilized egg’s development, from a single cell to around 250 cells.” The team will not be allowed to implant the embryos in any women. Kathy Niakan has also stated she has no intention to genetically alter embryos for human reproduction. Niakan says she wants to deepen the scientific understanding of how a healthy human embryo develops.

Reuters notes Niakan will use a technique known as CRISPR-Cas9. CRISPR allows scientists to find and modify or replace genetic defects. The technique has been the subject of debate over whether the technology will lead to ethical or moral dilemmas in the pursuit of knowledge.

David King, director of the U.K. campaign group Human Genetics Alert, says he worries the research could eventually lead to “a future of consumer eugenics.

This research will allow the scientists to refine the techniques for creating GM babies,” he told Reuters.

Sarah Norcross, director of Progress Educational Trust — an organization focused on supporting ethically sound research and practice in genetics and embryo/stem cell research — disagrees with critics. Norcross said the approval of the embryo study was “a victory for level-headed regulation over moral panic.

The news of genetically engineered human embryos and gene editing is reminiscent of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. It is also a theme in the 1997 film, Gattaca. In Gattaca, we see a future version of our world where genes decide one’s place in society.

The practice amounts to an essential caste system. In this world, the wealthy and elite can afford to engineer their children and remove any possible “defects.” Those who are deemed genetically inferior are called “in-valids.” The film touches on genetic engineering, eugenics, and the moral implications of playing God with human life. Both Gattaca and Brave New World offer thought-provoking explanations of this new, growing reality.

The Dethroning of Cash: Discouraged, Penalized, Even Banned?

dethroning cashBy Stefan Gleason

Stock market gyrations and deteriorating global economic conditions in the early goings of 2016 sent investors fleeing for safety. Or at least what is commonly thought to be safety.

Many in the financial media are now trotting out the bromide that “cash is king.” A sampling of recent headlines illustrates how pervasive the thinking is:

But how can cash be king when central banks around the world are working diligently and creatively to PUNISH holders of cash?

The latest country to take the plunge into negative interest rates is Japan. On January 29, the Bank of Japan pushed its deposit rate into negative territory.

And our own Federal Reserve just asked U.S. banks this week make sure they, too, are ready for negative interest rates.

Central bankers have proven that 0% is no floor when it comes to interest rates. But negative interest rates create some peculiar problems. In theory, assessing interest on deposits rather than paying it out encourages funds to flow back into the economy. Negative rates make banks more apt to lend and consumers more likely to spend.

People Herded into Electronic Accounts So Negative Interest Rates Can Be Imposed

Unfortunately for the banks, though, negative rates encourage withdrawals of cash for hoarding. After all, dollar bills that pay 0% interest have a higher yield than savings accounts that charge interest!

The government surely doesn’t want to encourage a flight to physical cash. It drains the banks of their liquidity. And when cash transactions take place outside the banking system, authorities can’t track them, and that makes tax collectors jealous.

Of course, government officials have a solution in the works: Ban coins and paper currency notes altogether. That’s the end-game of their war on cash.

Central Planners Smear Cash as “Dirty and Dangerous”

In the cashless society of tomorrow, bank depositors won’t be able to escape negative interest rates because they won’t be able to withdraw any actual cash to stuff under the mattress. Cash won’t be king anymore. It will be dethroned digitally. And when that happens, financial privacy will largely be a thing of the past.

This isn’t wild conspiracy theorizing on my part. The abolition of cash is being planned by bureaucrats and openly cheered on by elites in finance and their mouthpieces in the establishment media.

The editorial board of BloombergView put out an opinion piece on January 31, 2016 titled,  “Bring On the Cashless Future.”

In it, they bash cash as “dirty and dangerous.” They envisage a glorious future in which governments can electronically thwart “tax evasion” and central banks can “impose significantly negative interest rates” knowing that bank depositors won’t be able to escape them – at least not by withdrawing cash.

Alternatives to Cash Will Be King

In the cashless society of the future, the most viable alternatives to cash will be king.

Bitcoin and other underground digital currencies will play a role for some people in some types of commerce. But even prominent Bitcoin proponents admit that the government could disable the crypto-currency. Moreover, since Bitcoin has no legal tender or intrinsic value, the price of Bitcoin could conceivably go to any number, including zero.

On the other hand, tangible alternative currencies such as gold and silver bullion coins will never go to zero.

Gold is known as the Midas metal because it is the money of kings. It is also the king of money. Why? Because gold has the longest running history of being used as money and still to this day serves an important role in the monetary system. Perhaps crypto-currencies that are backed by gold will emerge to solve some of the shortcomings and vulnerabilities of Bitcoin.

In the meantime, the digital currency revolution risks being co-opted by governments that like the idea of herding the masses into all-electronic transactions. China is now looking into establishing a digital currency for everyday commerce.

As much as governments would like to create a “cloud” economy, the reality is that if even if they succeed in abolishing cash, they can’t eliminate barter and trade conducted through alternative tangible instruments. Gold and silver will always have a market value in terms of dollars or digital dollars or crypto-currency units. So it’s a simple matter to determine how much metal to offer or accept for any given transaction. The upshot: Government agencies cannot track the movements of pure precious metals bullion coins, rounds, and bars.

Investors who have rotated out of the stock market and into cash recently would be wise to consider rotating from cash to precious metals. Gold and silver prices have risen modestly amidst the downdraft in equities. The metals have the potential to show more significant gains in the months ahead. And with negative interest rates approaching, they will have a higher yield as well.

By contrast, cash offers no real upside. It offers only the opportunity to avoid losses in other assets (by being out of them). But as the war on cash intensifies – whether through a devaluation of the dollar, negative interest rates, or an outright end to coin and paper bill circulation – holding cash in any form figures to become a lot riskier.

6 Reasons Why I Won’t Be Getting the Flu Vaccination

government_corruption_vaccinesBy Paul A. Philips

Once again, for those of us living in the Northern hemisphere the colder weather, shorter daylight hours have arrived. And here we go again. Out comes the mass media hype and fear mongering with all those propaganda ploys on a largely unsuspecting public persuading us to get vaccinated against the flu.

I have been drumming on for some years now about this. The only thing that can be said about these toxic vaccinations is they are great for lining the pockets of pharmaceutical companies. So, here are my reasons why I won’t be getting the flu vaccination.

1. The vaccine can cause harm

I could allow myself to get quite angry when I hear such blanket statements like ‘everyone should be vaccinated against the flu…’ purporting flu prevention like those vaccinators set up in supermarket stalls waiting for you or your children to roll up your sleeves for the shot. Then there are doctors who get paid bonuses for reaching target figures for mass vaccinations…

There are numerous cases of flu vaccine damage (1). Many can be accessed online showing peer-reviewed research data. Examples include: Neurological damage, behavioural disorders such as ADHD, foetal deaths, autoimmune disorders, narcolepsy and flu (yes, the vaccine can cause flu! as shown for instance in a Canadian study (2)).

2. ‘Big Medicine’ is protected legally

By the way, did you know that a law was passed The 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act” enacted in the USA granting big medicine impunity from being sued for child vaccine damage by parents?  This law kicks in regardless of whether or not the FDA or CDC approved a tested or untested vaccine that caused harm.

3. Toxic ingredients

The flu vaccine hosts a whole cocktail of toxic ingredients. This includes mercury in the form of thimerosal used as a preservative. Some of the evidence for vaccine damage linked to thimerosal has been hidden but the evidence is there to show that it can cause body and immune system damage (3).

Other noxious substances may include viruses (alive or dead), foetal tissue and toxic stabilizers or preservatives besides thimerosal…  making the vaccinated more susceptible to disease.

Do you really want to play Russian roulette with your health by getting vaccinated with the flu shot? Or do you want to give consent to having your children vaccinated and endanger their health?

4. The vaccine is ineffective

If ever there’s a case of pseudoscience, ineptitude and, let’s face it, downright quackery, it’s in vaccinations. The flu vaccination is no exception. Look up the various medical journals or popular natural health-based websites and you’ll find much data in support of the claim that the flu vaccine is ineffective.

Here’s one example to start you off:

There’s a study documented in the Paediatric & Adolescent Medicine showing how flu shots made no difference compared to those children unvaccinated (4).

…and another one, the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine reveals that the death-rate for pneumonia or the flu has not changed since the introduction of the flu vaccination, even though vaccinating the elderly has increased  by more than 4-fold since 1980 (5).

 5. The vaccination is a virus-spreading agent

Absent of thimerosal and mercury, there’s a nasal spray flu vaccine called ‘FluMist.’ It has, however, raised some concerns in that this live attenuated virus has the capability of spreading. What about the vulnerability of those nearby with weak immune systems such as the elderly?

6. The flu death myth

For the best part of ten years US citizens have been constantly told by the CDC that some 36,000 die of flu each year. The fact that this figure never changes has aroused suspicion in some. Medical Doctor Joe Mercola investigated the CDC’s claims and found evidence to the contrary (6). He found that the highest ever documented evidence for flu deaths in the USA was 21,047 in the year 1941. Then over the years the mortality rate generally continually dropped. By 1995 -1997 for each of these years there were between only 600 – 750 flu deaths.

The CDC’s annual figure of 36,000 had been derived by the inclusion of not only the flu but also deaths from respiratory, circulatory, cardiac and pulmonary deaths that could have been linked with the flu.

In other words, the grossly exaggerated and unfounded claim of 36,000 deaths per year was used to instill fear into the public to make them choose the flu vaccination and increase market sales on the vaccine. This can be backed up by whistleblower Glen Nowak, former CDC communications director, where health authorities and experts are encouraged to exaggerate and use fear mongering (7).

There are other cases where the CDC has been caught using shoddy statistics. Take the case of their 2012-2013 seasonal analysis figures for flu-related hospitalization rates. Confirmatory lab test results for the flu are given to the CDC by the Emerging Infections Program (EIP). Because these lab test results only indicate the flu and not the other related illnesses the CDC multiplies this by almost three! Thus they use this blanket result for multiple illnesses to make documented claims of flu cases (8).

So, those are my 6 reasons for saying NO to the flu jab.

The solution

The best way to avoid the flu is by choosing the healthy options related to diet and lifestyle. Get plenty of good immune system building healthy eating: A diet that includes plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables (80% raw food) preferably organic… oil of oregano and garlic are good examples of infection fighting foods and give yourself good supplies of omega-3 foods like coconut and krill oils… Avoid junk food with its high salt / sugar and nasty trans-fats.

It is important to have around 15-20 minutes a day of direct sunlight to maintain vitamin D3 levels. Many people get colds and flu because of a lack of sunlight during winter.

Wash your hands to avoid spreading a virus.

Sleep well, handle your stress and have a positive outlook on life.

And, finally, get regular exercise.

Massive Vaccine Cover-Up

hpv-virus-By ANH-USA

New evidence shows that members of a global vaccine committee may have been involved in a massive cover-up regarding the safety of the HPV vaccine. State-based action alerts!

Earlier this month, Cornell-trained clinical pathologist Sin Hang Lee, MD, sent an open letter to the director general of the World Health Organization, Dr. Margaret Chan, alleging that members of the Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety (GACVS) are guilty of gross misconduct and criminal malfeasance in their efforts to mislead the global public on the safety of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.

The controversy revolves around Dr. Lee’s study finding that Gardasil (Merck’s HPV vaccine) contains HPV L1 gene DNA fragments. In a separate case study, Dr. Lee found HPV-16 L1 DNA fragments in post-mortem blood samples of a teenager who died six months after receiving three Gardasil injections. Dr. Lee hypothesizes that the HPV L1 gene DNA fragments bind to aluminum adjuvants in the vaccine and are carried through the blood stream by macrophages to the brain, causing the adverse effects many experience after receiving HPV shots. Based on this evidence, Dr. Lee called for further study of the HPV vaccines.

One would think the scientific community would take heed—especially scientists on the GACVS, who are responsible for advising the world on vaccine safety. Aluminum in vaccines is a serious issue that we’ve addressed at length in previous coverage. There are studies that have linked aluminum to all kinds of negative health effects ranging from autism to Alzheimer’s disease. Other researchers have noted that, despite eighty years of use, the safety of aluminum adjuvants rests largely on assumptions rather than experimental evidence.

Emails obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request indicate that members of GACVS saw Dr. Lee as an inconvenient adversary to their pro-vaccine agenda from the start. Note that this was all taking place before a public hearing in Japan to determine whether or not the Japanese government would recommend the vaccine to its citizens. Because there were no peer-reviewed studies refuting Dr. Lee’s claims, GACVS needed to get creative to reassure the Japanese government that the HPV vaccine was totally safe and Dr. Lee’s findings could be ignored.

GACVS did this through a presentation at the hearing and an official statement afterward. However, as Dr. Lee argues in his open letter, the official statement contains numerous—and in his view, intentional—misrepresentations of peer-reviewed science that conflate the facts in an attempt to mislead the public. Dr. Lee also alleges that members of GACVS knew that the HPV vaccine, more so than other vaccines, caused an increased inflammatory response and the release of cytokines and tumor necrosis factors (TNF)—yet still assured the public that the HPV vaccine was safe. Release of TNF can causecell death and a wide range of inflammatory reactions—including death in some instances.

GACVS admits in its statement that it did not even review Dr. Lee’s work but claims it was reviewed by a “panel of experts.” No names are provided, nor are any further credentialing details about this “panel.”

Dr. Lee’s letter cites many more instances of GACVS scrambling to refute the science by misstating the facts and misleading the non-scientific public. Interested readers should consult Dr. Lee’s full letter for a more detailed account of this shameful, possibly criminal, manipulation of the facts.

This is only the latest cause for concern in regard to the HPV vaccine’s safety. You can consult our previous coverage for more of that information, especially of the former Merck doctor who said that Gardasil would become the “greatest medical scandal of all time.” There have also been as-yet-unexplained (or even acknowledged) cover-ups of other vaccine research as well, for example the decision to hide evidence that the MMR vaccine caused autism among black male infants.

Science is ever-evolving, with new evidence coming to light all of the time which throws doubt on previously held assumptions. What this scandal shows is that the proponents of the vaccine industry, who consistently and vehemently claim the mantle of “science” to defend their elimination of our freedoms, care less about the actual science than about pushing their own agenda, regardless of the evidence or the cost in human life—the very antithesis of the scientific method. Unfortunately, governments and world health organizations are now integrated into the vaccine industry in a way that can only be described as cronyism.

No Poison Is Good For You In Small Doses

poisonBy Luis Miranda

A not so recent practice and talk point from mainstream media and conventional medicine says that inventions such as vaccines or other products manufactured by large corporate multinationals are safe, or that they are not as dangerous for people because the doses of life-threatening chemicals in them is very low.

It is important to raise the point here that no toxic chemical has ever been proven to be safe for human use via ingestion, injection, inhalation, spray or spreading it over someone’s body.

Ingesting, inhaling, injecting or spreading toxic chemicals on someone, just because the amount of one or a number of chemicals is low is not only illogical, but also equally dangerous for those who use the products.

The danger of getting sick or dying due to exposure to toxic chemicals in food, cleaning products or those used in vaccines, for example, is magnified when the product combines several hundreds of toxic chemicals which are rarely written on labels.

Let’s take vaccines as an example. The average flu vaccine contains 25,000 times more mercury than it is legally allowed in drinking water. Yet, these vaccines are provided as ‘safe’ tools to fight disease. Many vaccine inserts alert people that the vaccines have not been tested for potential carcinogenic effects.

It is not uncommon to find hundreds of websites kept by researchers and parents of children or relatives who were severely damaged by vaccines, but very few have been able to succinctly explain why it is not a good idea to inject poisonous chemicals in a child or an adult. The best top-ten reasons not to vaccinate were recently presented by Michelle Goldstein, on Vactruth.com.

“Once vaccinated, the potential side-effects cannot be easily undone, if at all. These include death, sudden infant death syndrome, auto-immune disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, allergies, asthma, ADHD, autism, Guillian-Barré Syndrome and other neurological damage,” explains Goldstein, a mental health therapist who also works with holistic medicine.

Goldstein provides ten key reasons that all parents and adults should consider and research before deciding to vaccinate:

Vaccines have never been proven safe or effective. This alone should raise enough questions for anyone who desires to use so-called immunizations.

Vaccines do NOT work. If the first reason was not enough to make you question vaccines, this one should. As explained by many health practitioners, vaccines inhibit the body’s natural immune reaction to cope with disease on top of polluting a child’s body with often unknown amounts of dangerous chemicals.

The very first vaccine was a disaster. As many other accepted myths, vaccine effectiveness and safety come from the minds of hijacked modern medicine establishments that were taken over by organizations such as the Rockefeller, Ford and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundations. By the way, these organizations are creations of the oil industry whose byproducts are found in drinking water and of course vaccines.

Vaccines are highly profitable for pharmaceutical companies and the healthcare industry. This means that, even if vaccines were effective, which they are not, profit most likely overcomes safety, which is why pandemics such as the H1N1 and Ebola usually result in billions of dollars in profits for the farmaceutical industry, which is also favored by Rockefeller, and other ‘philanthropic’  organizations.

All vaccines contain a number of toxic poisons and chemicals that are linked to serious neurological damage including aluminum, thimerosal (methyl mercury), antibiotics, monosodium glutamate (MSG) and formaldehyde. How many times have you thought about ingesting or injecting yourself or your kids with anti-freeze, lead, cadmium, glycerine or acetone? Well, those ingredients are also found in vaccines.

Every -independently conducted- study comparing unvaccinated to vaccinated children demonstrates that unvaccinated children enjoy far superior health. This is one of the points that is not understood by the pro-vaccine crowd. They want to mandate that all children and adults be vaccinated, even though unvaccinated children fair better than those whose immune systems have been tainted with vaccines.

Vaccines cause a host of “chronic, incurable, and life-threatening diseases,” including autism, asthma, ADHD, auto-immune disorders, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, food allergies and brain damage. By the way, if you don’t believe this, ask yourself why do countries create “vaccine court”? Vaccine courts are entities created by the pharmaceutical industry and government agencies to deal with lawsuits brought up by the parents of children who have been damaged by vaccines. Even though the existence of these courts is widely unknown, the truth is that they have paid millions of dollars in compensation to families who were affected by vaccine poisoning.

Scientifically speaking, the only way to create true life-long immunity to a disease is through natural exposure to the disease in which the body creates true antibodies and immunity on many levels.

Vaccines kill infants, children and adults. No matter how safe pharmaceutical companies say their products are or how their safety has been reviewed by health authorities. Any study conducted by the pharmaceutical industry which is later submitted to government health organization will ever be performed objectively. Remember that pharmaceutical companies write their own rules and conduct their own safety and effectiveness studies. What can you expect from that?

Perhaps the top reason that explains why vaccines are untrustworthy is the fact that if you or a loved one suffers from a vaccine injury, pharmaceutical companies and physicians hold no medical liability. Do you know any other industry in which companies are not liable for defects or damages that result from the poor performance of their products? How about an industry who has zero responsibility for damages caused by their products? There are not any. This privilege is reserved to the pharmaceutical industry alone.

Another case of alleged “small, insignificant exposure” to dangerous chemicals is food products, which are laden with synthetically made conservatives, colors and flavors.

In case you need to see it on mainstream media to believe it, here is a report from CNN in which it is explained how 7 chemicals that are understood as safe for human consumption by health authorities, are actually poisonous for those who ingest them. Among them are: Azodicarbonamide, which is used in bread. Tartrazine, an artificial color that is used in thousands of food products. It is better known as Yellow No. 5 and No. 6.

Another toxic combination is that of Propyl gallate and butylated hydroxytoluene. Both are used as preservatives to keep manufactured food products from going bad and lasting longer on the shelf. Along with these two is Sodium nitrite, which is used for preservation and coloring of packaged meats.

Next comes tert-Butylhydroquinone, which is a form of butane. It is added to crackers, potato chips and some fast food. Similarly, Silicon dioxide is also added to food products such as “dry coffee creamer, dried soups and other powdery foods. It is also used as an insect repellent, removing the oily film that covers an insect’s body, causing them to dry out and die.”

This article concentrated on vaccines and some unknown chemicals added to foods, and leaves out some traditional offenders, such as BPA, MSG, hydrogenated oils, aspartame and hormone-bending chemicals, because we have already written about them before. Also, because both vaccines and food products are popularly exempted from scrutiny under the excuse that the small amounts of disease-causing chemicals they contain are easily disposed of by the human body, which is also a lie. It is important to remember that even if our bodies had the ability to get rid of some chemicals, the damage caused by them takes place before they are excreted out.

With so much land available to plant clean food and so much science available to create medicines that actually benefit our health, it is more than shocking to learn that there are people out there who still believe in 19th-century “snake oil” style solutions to their health problems or that people prefer consuming food products which are contaminated with hundreds of toxic substances put in them on purpose, despite the well-known dangers posed by them.

Knowing what to do about the chemicals in vaccines and food products is as simple as asking yourself the following question: Would I voluntarily ingest mercury, formaldehyde, anti-freeze, lead or cadmium? If the answer is NO, it would be necessary to ask why then would I ingest these and other chemicals in food or inject them into a child or an adult? If the answer YES, by all means knock yourself out. Inject away and eat away without remorse.

WebMD And Monsanto Propaganda

LiarBy The Sleuth Journal

If you’re one of the nearly 12 million people who visit WebMD.com every month, you’re getting a healthy dose of Monsanto propaganda along with your “health research.”

Monsanto is one of the many corporate “sponsors” of WebMD. That means Monsanto pays WebMD in order to pepper WebMD’s website with advertisements and advertorials, disguised as legitimate journalism.

WebMD Health Corp. (NASDAQ: WBMD) is a publicly held corporation that answers first and foremost to its shareholders. The company, with its long history of deceiving consumers and partnering up with drug, junk food and biotech companies, is not, and never was, in the business of caring about consumers—a fact meticulously documented in an article published this week (January 19, 2016) by Mercola.com.

Why bother to ask one corrupt corporation, WebMD, to cut ties with another, equally or exceedingly corrupt corporation (Monsanto)?

Because Monsanto’s WebMD propaganda is cleverly disguised as legitimate health advice. So cleverly, that millions of visitors to the site probably have no idea that they’re being duped.

Monsanto Sues Over Action To Classify Glyphosate As Carcinogen (VIDEO)

Monsanto-1-640x480-600x450By The Sleuth Journal

Monsanto has decided to move forward with suing California over the listing of a particular herbicide ingredient as a carcinogen. The company is allegedly seeking to prevent the main ingredient of their Roundup product from being added to the state’s list of known carcinogens and they’ve filed a lawsuit against the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). They are allegedly working to keep their ingredient glyphosate off the Proposition 65 list of chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Last year, the OEHHA said that it had the intention to add glyphosate to the list of carcinogens after the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) effectively classified the ingredient as a probable human carcinogen. Monsanto doesn’t agree with the allegations or assessment, they continue to claim that the chemical is safe and that it is unlikely to cause cancer. Glyphosate is one of the most commonly used agricultural chemicals in the United States. If this chemical does make it onto the list, then Monsanto and other companies who use it would need to start warning their customers that the chemical is known to cause cancer.

If glyphosate does end-up on the Prop. 65 list, then the use of any product containing it would also be limited; as many municipalities look to avoid and even prohibit the use of chemicals on the Prop. 65 list.  Monsanto says that this move will damage their reputation and negatively impact their sales. Just in 2015 alone, Roundup earned Monsanto over $4 billion in revenue. The Vice President of regulator affairs at Monsanto, Phil Miller, maintains that glyphosate is “an efficient, effective, and safe tool for weed control.”

Despite the glowing reassurance from Monsanto officials that there is nothing to worry about when it comes to their company or its products, an increasing number of countries have been turning to avoid using GMO products from biotech companies like Monsanto. Now that technology has made it easier than ever for consumers to research and find out the truth behind various products and companies in the market, and to share that knowledge with others around the world, there remains an increasing consumer awareness trend that isn’t showing much affection for Monsanto and the products that it puts out.

How Do You Know When Your Society Is In The Midst Of Collapse?

boot-paintingBy Brandon Smith

As economic turmoil worldwide becomes increasingly apparent, I have been receiving messages from readers expressing some concerns on the public “perception” of collapse. That is to say, there are questions on the average person’s concept of collapse versus the reality of collapse. This is a vital issue that I have discussed briefly in the past, but it deserves a more in-depth analysis.

What is collapse? How do we define it? And, are some of the notions of collapse in the public consciousness completely wrong?

It’s funny, because skeptics opposed to the idea of a U.S. collapse in particular will most often retort with a question they think I cannot or will not answer – “So, Mr. Smith, when specifically is this supposed collapse going to take place? What day and time?”

My response has always been – “We’re in the middle of a collapse right now; you really can’t see it right in front of your sneering face?”

The reason these people are incapable of grasping this kind of answer is in large part due to the popular mainstream conceptions of systemic collapse. These are conceptions that are for the most part delusional and not in line with the facts. The public idea of collapse comes predominantly from Hollywood, and not from personal experience. For the masses (and some preppers, unfortunately), a collapse is an “event” that happens visibly and usually swiftly. You wake up one morning and behold; the television and phones don’t work anymore and zombies are at your doorstep! Yes, it’s childish and cartoonish, but anything less than a Walking Dead/Mad Max scenario and many people act as if all other threats are benign.

This is the driving reason why many Americans are absolutely oblivious to the economic instability that is rampant and blatant within our system the past few months. They might see the same signals that alternative analysts see, but these signals do not register in their brains as dangers.

Look at it this way; say you told a person their whole life that a tiger is a 10-foot tall behemoth with four heads that breath fire while urinating flesh-rending acid. Say you make movies and TV shows about it and they never have any experience to the contrary. When they finally come across a real tiger, they might try to pet the damn thing instead of running in terror or searching for a means of defense.

To use another vicious animal analogy, when I encounter skeptics with false assumptions of what a collapse actually is, I am often reminded of that woman in Anchorage, Alaska who jumped an enclosure fence at the zoo to get a closer picture of Binky the polar bear. These people have been made so inept when it comes to identifying threats that they will continue arguing with you as the animal takes a football-sized bite out of their meaty thigh.

So what is the root of the problem beyond Hollywood fantasies? Well, the problem is that social and economic collapse is not a singular event, it is a PROCESS. Collapse is a series of events that sometimes span years. Each event increases in volatility over the last event, but as time goes on these events tend to condition the masses. The public develops a normalcy bias towards crisis (like the old “frog in a boiling pot” analogy). They lose all sense of what a healthy system looks like.

It is not uncommon for a society to wade through almost a decade or more of violent decline before finally acknowledging the system is imploding on a fundamental level. It is also not uncommon for societies to endure years of abuse by corrupt governments before either organizing effectively to rebel, or caving in and submitting to totalitarianism.

But how does one recognize a failing system? How does a person know if they are in the middle of a collapse rather than on the “verge” of collapse? Here are some signals I have derived from research of various breakdowns in modern nations and why they indicate we are experiencing collapse right now…

The Criminals Openly Admit To Their Crimes

The surest way to know if your society is in the midst of disintegration is to see if the criminals who created the instability in the first place are openly discussing a collapse scenario or warning that one is imminent.

A year ago, central bankers presented little more than a chorus of recovery propaganda. Today, not so much. The Royal Bank of Scotland is now warning investors to “sell everything” ahead of a “cataclysmic” year in markets.

The Federal Reserve’s Richard Fisher has admitted that the Fed “frontloaded” (manipulated) stock markets into a bubble and that payment is about to come due in the form of severe economic volatility (up to 20% crash in equities).

The Bank for International Settlements, the central bank of central banks, has a track record of warning the public about collapse conditions – right before they happen, leaving little or no time for people to prepare. They have followed their habit by warning in September and December that a Fed rate hike would “shatter” the uneasy calm in markets.

The former Chief Economist of the BIS now says the economy is in worse shape than it was in 2008 and is headed for a larger fall.

What happened between last year and this year and why are these internationalists suddenly so forthcoming about our economic reality? The fact that central bankers are the cause of our current collapse leads me to believe that such admissions are designed to deflect guilt. If they put out a few warnings now, they can then later claim they are prognosticators rather than culprits, and that they were trying to “help us.” Beyond that, the reality is that our situation was just as dire in 2014/2015 as it is today; the difference is that now we are about to enter a new phase in the ongoing collapse, a much more detrimental phase, but still a phase of a breakdown that has been progressing since at least 2008.

The Fundamentals Break Through The Manipulation Barrier

Governments and central banks do not have the capacity to artificially create demand for goods or a supply of well-paying jobs in a crashing economy. What they can do, though, is hide the visible problems in supply and demand with false numbers.

I examined such false economic statistics in great detail last year in a six-part series titled “One Last Look At The Real Economy Before It Implodes.” I will not cover them all again here. I would only point out that recently the fundamentals of supply and demand have begun to break through the deceit of manipulated numbers, and this is a sign that the collapse is about to move from one stage to the next.

With global shipping and trucking freight in steep decline, with retail inventories in stasis and current oil consumption falling to levels not seen since 1997 despite a larger population, the mainstream can no longer deny that consumer demand is crumbling. If demand is falling dramatically, then the financial system is in the middle of falling dramatically; there is simply no way around this truth.

Stocks And Commodities Become Violently Erratic

Let’s be clear, if stock markets represent anything at all, they are merely lagging indicators of economic instability.  Stock markets are NOT predictive indicators of anything useful.  Therefore, any person who does nothing but track equities each day is going to be completely oblivious to the bigger picture behind the economy until it is too late.  They will be so mesmerized by the green numbers and red numbers and lines on minute-to-minute graphs that they will lose all sense of reality.

Violent swings in stocks are a sign of a financial system that is at the middle or end of the collapse process, not the beginning.

It is also important to note that extreme shifts in stocks and commodity values to the upside are just as much a signal of instability as shifts to the downside.  For instance, if you witnessed the recent 9% explosion in oil markets and thought to yourself “Ah, the markets are being stabilized again and nothing is different this time…”, then you are an idiot.

Of course, the next day oil markets lost almost all of the gains they made the day before.  And this is how markets behave when they are about to die; they expand and implode chaotically each day on nothing more that meaningless news headlines rather than hard data.  This heart attack in equities inevitably trends downwards as the weeks and months pass.  Keep in mind, equities are down nearly 10% from their recent highs, and oil is down approximately 50% in the past six months.  Every time there is a dead cat bounce in stocks skeptics come out of the woodwork to call alternative analysts “doomers”, yet they are nowhere to be found when markets come crashing back down.  They are not looking at the overall trend because their short attention spans hinder them.  Again, extreme swings in markets, whether up or down, are a sign of progressing collapse.

Deterioration Of Cultural Values, Heritage And Identity

I have written extensively over the years about the Cloward-Piven strategy; a strategy used by collectivists to destabilize social systems by dumping overt numbers of foreign immigrants into the population without demand for integration. This process has been obvious in the U.S. and Europe for quite some time, but only now is it peaking to the point that collapse is seen as an inevitable result by the public. Europe is worse off than the U.S. in this regard as millions upon millions of Muslim immigrants are injected into the EU’s already dying body; immigrants that intend to transplant their culture from their own failed societies rather than adopting the values and principles of the societies that have invited them in.

Natural-born Americans and legal immigrants with aspiration of integration appear to be fighting back against the Cloward-Piven strategy with some success by holding onto traditional American values despite being labeled “barbarians” and “racists.” Illegal immigration, though, is still completely unchecked.

In the EU, the long campaign of cultural Marxism has made natural-born Europeans perhaps the most self-hating people on the planet as well as the most passive and weak. Organized opposition to massive immigration programs in the EU should have taken place years ago. Now it is far too late, and the European system is finishing a social implosion which should have already been obvious to average citizens.

Open Discussion Of Totalitarian Measures

When corrupt leadership moves from quiet totalitarianism to more open totalitarianism, your society is in the FINAL stages of collapse, not the beginning of a collapse. The U.S. in particular has been slowly strangled with subversive legal directives and political policies ever since the so called “War on Terror” began. However, there are now multiple signals of a much deeper and open tyranny in the works.

A few recent examples stand out, including Barack Obama’s insistence that the office of the president has the legal authority to issues executive orders that affect constitutional protections such as the 2nd Amendment. As many liberty movement activists are aware, there is absolutely no constitutional precedent for the use of executive orders and such powers are not mentioned anywhere in the document. They were simply created out of thin air to be used by the federal government and sometimes state governments to supersede normal checks and balances.

While numerous presidents have issued executive orders, including some that were outright tyrannical, like Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s unconstitutional internment of Japanese Americans into concentration camps, George W. Bush and Barack Obama have been the most subversive in their bypassing of the Constitution. Obama, in particular, has tried to hide the number of executive actions he has taken by issuing hundreds of “presidential memorandums,” which are basically the same dirty play by another name.

These actions have been progressively setting the stage for the removal of checks and balances entirely in the name of crisis management. They are so broad in their nature and vague in their definitions and applications that they could be interpreted by federal authorities to mean just about anything in any given situation.

If executive actions are not scary enough, corrupt politicians are now becoming blunt in their demands for dominance. Two Republican Senators, Mitch McConnel and Lindsay Graham, are calling for unlimited AUMF-style (authorization of use of military force) war powers to be given to the president. Such powers would allow the president to project U.S. military forces anywhere in the world for any reason without review or time limits. This includes the use of military forces on U.S. soil.

The rationale for this is, of course, the threat of ISIS. The same group of terrorists the U.S. government helped to create.

And finally, if you want perhaps the most nonchalant admission of future tyranny in recent days, check out former General Wesley Clark’s call for “disloyal” Americans to be placed in internment camps through the duration of the war on terror, a war that could ostensibly go on forever.

The Psychology Of “Lockdown”

police-state-By Bernie Suarez

How It Has Been Used to Make Martial Law the Norm.

The establishment has been working hard over the past few years to make martial law the norm in the United States.

A few events which are most responsible for the normalization of martial law stand out in most of our minds.

First there was the frightening gun confiscation and private home intrusion seen in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Particularly after the flooding in New Orleans. Many people witnessed for the first time the real horrors of martial law as militarized police, the National Guard and FEMA all operating until Federal orders bullied ordinary civilians around forcing them out of their homes and into a FEMA camp set up at public arenas. At the time, no one was used to seeing this here in America. But after a while people carried on with their business, but the memory of the arguably acceptable martial law scene playing out in the case of a natural disaster stayed in everyone’s memory.

Then 8 years later on April 15, 2013 we had the staged Boston bombing pressure cooker detonations at the Boston Marathon. We all know the story, how within the following days the establishment cooked up the “chase” for the real perpetrators which they used to officially introduce the “lockdown” concept. I warned about this then. To this day I firmly believe the Boston bombing was set up to show America how an “event” can and will be used to lock down a town or a city.

As with Katrina, in the Watertown MA lockdown we saw illegal and forceful home invasions as militarized police forced their way into people’s homes and forced people out of their own homes in the name of looking for “terrorists” who supposedly were responsible for the “attacks”. No one questioned the lying crisis actors running around with fake bright red blood stains on the ground and Hollywood style torn clothings. No one questioned the actor rolling around in a wheelchair pretending his leg was just blown off while looking robust, oriented, wide awake and with a full colored face. For that matter, no one questioned all the Craft International mercenaries clearly scene on camera communicating, preparing and monitoring the scene of the “controlled explosion”. Instead all the focus soon went to the chase, the lockdown and the eventual murder of one of the accused men.

Fast forward to November 13, 2015 where we saw a series of bizarre supposed shootings that were all attributed to CIA’s ISIS. Strikingly, the event lacked the expected unedited evidence you would expect from a mass shooting in a large city, living in a technological world where almost everyone carries a video camera on their cell phone.

Without getting into the details of the Paris attacks of, the one important thing that everyone must pay attention to is that the event was used to again “lockdown” all of Paris and even other parts of Europe. After the Paris attacks there was even talk in New York City and other cities in the US about heightened alert and such.

The point I made at the time of the Paris attacks was that the “event” was used to trigger police activity in other parts of the world. The “lockdown” concept had just grown to the next level.

As “lockdown” is rolled to the general public as the new norm, is anyone asking, what is lockdown? Or, why it is necessary?

First I want to say that the entire concept of lockdown is a lie, an illusion, it’s another psychological operation on the general public and here’s why:

1– “Lockdown” is based on the delusion that we are all living in one big stadium or locker room that needs to be purged one locker at a time for there to be true justice or for the government to keep you “safe”. Of course thinking that it’s the government’s job to keep you safe is another delusion in itself.

2– The “lockdown” psyop delusion makes everyone think that if police can barge into anyone’s home at will, then they will have the tools they need to catch the bad guys.

3– The “lockdown” psyop delusion is based on the assumption that police are chasing the correct suspect. The idea that vigilante killings (Chris Dorner), patsies (Boston bombing), or that staged shooting (San Bernardino, Umpqua, Virginia TV Reporter etc) are now the norm, is not even part of the equation. Thus the lockdowns are based strictly on government and mass media controlled unchecked “evidence”, in other words propaganda.

4– The “lockdown” psyop delusion is based on the idea that a lockdown actually works when in fact there are no historical examples where a lockdown was the direct tool that allowed police to catch a criminal. Criminals have been caught since the beginning of time without the concept of lockdown. In fact, in today’s world of high technology and government surveillance it is now easier than ever to get caught by police. More than ever, it is getting very difficult for criminals to hide from the control system. Therefore more than at any point in history the concept of lockdown is NOT needed. It only serves as a tool to anger law abiding citizens, trash the Constitution, and empower a tyrannical government.

Expanding the lockdown psyop

After 9/11 the word “terrorist” was the buzzword to get everyone worried in fear and bowing to federal government tyranny. For years, all you had to say was “terrorist” or “terrorism” and most Americans would give way to the Federal government tyrannical forces.

But now that the “terrorist” buzzword has lost a lot of its power due to overuse, the control system has had a lot of time to improve their Neuro-linguistic mind control on the general public and they’ve added quite a few terms to their mass mind programming.

To expand their mass mind control the control system has now linked numerous other phrases to trigger public expected government and police behavior. The phrases “active shooter”, “gunman”, “extremist” and even “manhunt” are now all linked to “lockdown”. Look for these buzz words with the next shooting event. In fact here is the latest “active shooter” event recently reported out of San Diego Naval Medical Center. The article states:

“An active shooter and three gunshots were reported at the U.S. Naval Medical Center in San Diego on Tuesday, triggering a law enforcement response although there were no reports of deaths or injuries.

The U.S. Navy said in a statement, based on initial reports from a witness, that three shots were heard in the basement of a building housing a gym and barracks at the medical center around 8 a.m. PST (1600 GMT).

First responders and Navy working dog units were on scene clearing the building where the shots were heard, the statement said, adding that the medical center was on lockdown and a shelter-in-place order had been given.

A post on the medical center’s Facebook page advised occupants to “run, hide or fight,” the protocol advised by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in response to an active shooter.

The critical thing I would like for everyone to observe about this recent story is that gunshots were “heard”. No one knows anything else (as of the time of this story). Also note that no one died. But despite this minimal amount activity reported notice how the situation automatically demands that the entire medical center is on lockdown. Also notice how the Department of Homeland Security is already involved. Isn’t it strange how the DHS ALWAYS seems to be in the neighborhood snooping around almost always having “drills” prior to or during these “shooting” events? I think it is highly suspicious that DHS is even mentioned in this story tied to “lockdown” and “active shooter”.

This is another reminder that the new world order is trying to force itself on all of us and now the general public is expected to immediately stand down and allow the federal government and militarized police to do whatever they please as soon as these Neuro-linguistic conditioning psyop terms are put out by the mainstream media. This latest story is a textbook example of this programming.

No one should be fooled by these psychological tactics and clever word games. It’s all part of the delusion being imposed on the masses. The bottom line is that “lockdown” is just another buzz word for martial law and lockdowns don’t work except for those trying to impose tyranny. The lesson to learn here is that there are no words that any American should accept as an acceptable buzzword to allow the justification of martial law. We must be aware of how we are being manipulated otherwise we’ll never solve the problems we face now.

Let’s do everything we can to expose the process by which the control system slowly establishes their control over the masses. Understanding how they use key words is a central part of this strategy. If you understand this and agree please share this message with others.

More than half the plastic in the ocean comes from these five countries

surfing-in-trash-filled-oceanThere’s a new report out this week about ocean plastics, the man-made debris that floats and sinks in global waterways and often lands in marine creatures’ stomachs. According to the study, which was a collaborative effort by McKinsey & Co.’s environmental business unit and the nonprofit Ocean Conservancy, roughly 60% of all the plastic in global waters originates in five countries: China, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam.

Around the world, most of the trash that gets into the ocean comes from land, not from cruise ships or fishing boats. On land, plastic can “leak” from collection sites to the ocean, but it’s much more likely to reach the ocean if it’s never collected formally in the first place.

None of the countries identified in the report as “the five focus countries for action” to reduce global plastic pollution has a formal recycling system. What they do have are “waste pickers,” who root through garbage piles to find reusable items to sell for cash. These people “are the unsung heroes of conservation” in Asia, as GlobalPost puts it, but they need more support. The McKinsey/Ocean Conservancy report says “their inclusion and empowerment, along with recognition of their working conditions and long-term plans to upgrade those conditions, should be an explicit goal.”

After all, only about 20% of discarded plastic is valuable enough to be of interest to a waste-picker. Plastic bags, for example, don’t get collected.

These developing economies in Asia generate relatively little waste per capita, especially compared to western capitalist consumer ones. But the waste-management infrastructure makes all the difference. China has the most “land-based plastic-waste leakage” of any country in the world, according to the report’s authors, who traveled to China and the four other “focus countries” to assess how local plastic waste gets collected, stored, and eliminated. They note:

“Our field research and interviews with public officials have also shown that these countries acknowledge the problem and are actively looking for collaborative solutions.”

The authors recommend “a $5 billion annual ramp-up in waste-management spending” over the next 10 years as a meaningful way to improve things.

Drone Footage Documents Utter Devastation in Post-War Syria

By Activist Post

A crew from RT launched a drone to capture video of the destruction of the city of Homs in Syria.  Before the destablization campaign was fully underway, Homs was once a key industrial center.  The population of over 1 million people now have the following city in which to live.  Unfortunately, it is a before-and-after scene that we have witnessed before in the once-prosperous country of Libya.
