    First they came for the kids, The dim druggies, and the handicap and I
    kept quiet,

Then they came for the Jews and I wasn’t a Jew so I remained silent.
Then they came for the Gypsies, criminals, and inferior races, and it was best to remain quiet so I did. When they came for the Catholics, I was too afraid to say anything and didn’t, I could only pray. Then They came for me and there was no one left to protect me from them. Nazi Germany 1932

First we rounded up the Indians and rallied around the troops and the taking of the lands for a few beads and bottles, we took all the land as we all agreed, they were savages, they didn’t deserve it and it all was ours to take.
We gave out diseased blankets, mass starvation s, war and winter marches to all of “THEM “. We took the lands and saved us all from “savages”. For the good of us all but them. We made heroes of those who did the dirty work and we fed and paid them well and off to sleep we went, We were all safe once again.
Then again we were woken to rally up the troops to save us all for THEM, The ones who needed slaves to work the fields Was the enemy of man. We came to free the slaves. Until we took the step forward and invented better machinery or was it until the secrets of slavery became un-cool, too easy to see? It was time to advance the plan, and a new game plan was hatched as our leaders became more educated and refined. Our rulers learned to hide from us in plain site and play us all like fools to support all of them. We advanced our thinking a little and made it ineffective, so they took a step back until we went to sleep again. In the two-step dance, they always play with your life you were never trained to see. We could not argue, We all were in the wrong, letting some keep slaves. Again, a new game plan was born, it took a Civil war to free all of THE people who we had let become enslaved to Work in the fields. Somehow They tricked us and took us ALL in instead. With contracts of forgery and of fraud, and the new deal was off and running. We all became the slaves in their plan and ensured their class would thrive until they reached the grave. Next, they came for the drunks in the days of probation. They found gold mines and power
with new ways to make a buck in a war with all of US. They promoted all the terrible crimes caused by all THEM drunks! The making of crime and criminals plan really moved ahead! But the people were not quite so asleep as yet and it didn’t last very long, 3 steps forward then one back, the safe way to conquer the world. Many were killed but not us this time so we went back to bed. They slowed the game down, We were told “Don’t worry about a thing” and they quietly planned ahead.
They woke us up again with guns of thunder blaring and pointed to our REAL enemy, public threat number one. The new and REAL, “THEM” We really needed to fear. We targeted all the drugs not under their control and took human lives instead. We rallied and we used this
class because they had told us so, they would protect us all from them.
They Made us all believe we needed them to save us from? They took Cocaine out of pop, Sears & Roebucks stopped selling heroin and coke in all the drug stores and started pushing their poison pills instead. To increase their profits and to end this war that affects us all. They refined their goals with 9-1-1 and made it all out war… on us. We must have missed something and were fooled again.

NOW, We live with cameras on every corner, a snitch in every deal, We turn neighbor against neighbor, Son against Dad. We pay more for our protection and to live yet we do not see or say a thing? Roadblocks, swat teams, guns, dogs, prisons, guards, cops, judges and jails but they are there to keep us safe and happy in our beds.
They took this war serious and “protected the hell out of us all of us. As we stood silent, glad it wasn’t us, this time. They built A.B.C. Agencies to fulfill their new deal goals and We all forgot why the Declaration of Independence or constitution was ever written as it was never taught in grade school. So we would keep going along with the plan and the mass enslaving of us all. Now They live on easy street, the castle on the hill. But They are getting bored so they will
do what comes naturally. They will keep getting meaner and more refined to make some more of them to manage us all and end the threat we caused. As they planned ahead, their plan to conquer the whole world goes on without a hitch. They had us all build our very own cages in hell and no one will see or say a thing? They can rob, dominate, regulate, enslave, and kill us all with our consent. It is simply in their nature and what they naturally do. We all know not to poke a wolf or bear.

Most think, it is too far along to stand up and only seek to die. It is all for our protection and we should be thankful they protect us all yet Still no one will stand or will even say or see a thing? Didn’t we learn anything from history as the cycle repeats again? What next, cigarette swat teams or is it microchip the entire human race with the mark of the beast needed to buy or sell anything? The ones on top plan on killing us all before we wake up to the scam of divide & conquer they need to survive.

. THEY FILL OUR MINDS WITH THE FEARS THEY NEED!

  1. Massive economic and emotional fears of system collapse
  2. Massive incarceration for political crimes.
  3. massive propaganda and incentive to build distrust with your neighbors.
  4. Massive political unrest and distrust were the rule of deliberate indifference and silence rules.
  5. Fascist philosophies of violence and pointing blame and revenge against the target “social disease”
  6. The herding of people into groups for easy targeting.
  7. A building of a cold and indifferent population of no involvement or care for victims.
  8. The making of government dependents for food, health, jobs and housing, they make up the protector class.
  9. Intensified class separations, growing unrest, riots, blaming, and violence.
  10. Massive propaganda of crimes and victims to target hate and Anger to others but them.
  11. They have Built a hateful, ignorant, gullible, hateful, frightened, violent society because that is all they can do.
  12. Ramp-id substance abuse, domestic abuse, alcohol abuse, & personal abuse. mental ills were everyone is medicated with no power to see them. Who need violent crimes and propaganda to galvanize the lines .
  13. The blurring of reality, accountability, law, responsibility, human integrity, morals and decency and the respect for human life, happiness and freedom is gone.
  14. A mental health, a social worker, a cop, judge, lawyer and bureaucrat in every aspect of every life.
  15. The silent acceptance by all is what they need to achieve.

There Is No Science to Support Mandatory Face Masks. A Symbol of Social Submission?
By Renee Parsons
Global Research, July 22, 2020

There Is No Science to Support Mandatory Face Masks. A Symbol of Social Submission?

As the distraction of BLM/Antifa riots and the coronavirus have consumed much attention and energy, the social engineering agenda of the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset has taken a giant step forward in establishing the mandatory face mask as a symbol of submission to their dehumanizing agenda. Beyond Orwellian, the face mask is being used as a guise to re shape our perception of reality in acceptance of a scientific dictatorship as an integral part of a looming totalitarian globalist agenda.

As Democratic Governors have played a leading role in advancing the myth that face masks will save lives, Colorado Gov Jared Polis announced his decision on July 16th to mandate face masks to be worn in all public places in Colorado; thus codifying a medical tyranny world view.

In a July 12th Facebook page, Polis stated that “The emerging scientific data is clear” that wearing a mask protects others and reduces the risk of contracting Coronavirus. Polis then referred to those resistant to a face mask as a “selfish bastard.”

During Polis’s four page Executive Order issued on July 19th, there is not one mention of the ‘emerging science’ as support for his decision to mandate face masks; nor does Polis discuss how health effects will improve with masking except as “mitigating effects of the pandemic.” In announcing the mandate, Polis declared that “Wearing a mask is not a political statement. I don’t know how, in anybody’s mind, this became a game of political football.”

If the Governor is truly at a loss as to how masking or other lockdown requirements became a political football, he has not been paying attention. Consider the following: on March 20th, California became the first state in the country to order a Lockdown which was quickly followed by other States with Democratic Governors. To date, a majority of those Governors (21 out of 24) have all approved the mandatory wearing of face masks, albeit without applying any science. It is the arbitrary ‘shutdown’ of business as well as onerous personal requirements (such as social distancing) with a State adopting oppressive dictatorial behavior as if they have the right to make personal decisions about any one life.

Only four states with Republican Governors, some of which may be considered RINOs, have also adopted similar Executive Orders (Alabama, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Maryland).

If CV is merely a variation of an infectious virus, sunshine and warm weather should have already limited its impact; reducing its spread and exposure. Instead, as Red States attempt to re open (ie Texas and Florida), sudden intense CV ‘hot spots’ flare which forces the State to delay and increase its shut down requirements. Given an advanced radio frequency weapon ability, those ‘hot spots’ may have been generated by 5G at the millimeter level on the electro magnetic Spectrum.
Fashion Fetishism, Surgical Masks and Coronavirus

If, in fact, science is not the prime reason for mandatory face masks; that is, if face masks do not provide safety from contagion, then why mandate face masks at all? What other purpose does a face mask have but to protect the wearer or to inhibit spreading the virus? Without evidence that masks have positively reduced exposures and thereby fatalities, then the true purpose of the mandate becomes a more nefarious political and partisan gesture of psychological manipulation and control.

New England Journal of Medicine

On April 1st the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine published its Universal Masking Report including the following highlights:

“We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection.”
“The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal.”
“In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.”
“The extent of marginal benefit of universal masking over and above these foundational measures is debatable.“
“What is clear, however, is that universal masking alone is not a panacea.”
“It is also clear that masks serve symbolic roles. Masks are not only tools, they are also talismans that may help increase health care workers’ perceived sense of safety, well-being, and trust in their hospitals. Although such reactions may not be strictly logical, we are all subject to fear and anxiety, especially during times of crisis. One might argue that fear and anxiety are better countered with data and education than with a marginally beneficial mask“

No Scientific Support for Mask Wearing

Renowned nutritionist Dr. Joseph Mercola has recently reversed his earlier support of face masks and interviewed Dr. Denis Rancourt, PhD who examined the issue on behalf of the Ontario Civil Liberties Association. Rancourt conducted extensive research with an emphasis on masks and did a thorough review of science literature concentrating on whether any evidence exists that masks can reduce infection risk of viral respiratory disease. As a result of examining many controlled trials with verified outcomes, he found no statistical advantage to wearing a mask or not wearing a mask and that masks do no inhibit viral spread.

Rancourt asserted that “there is no evidence that masks are of any utility for preventing infection by either stopping the aerosol particles from coming out, or from going in. You’re not helping the people around you by wearing a mask, and you’re not helping yourself avoid the disease by wearing a mask. In addition, Rancourt explained that “Infectious viral respiratory diseases primarily spread via very fine aerosol particles that are in suspension in the air. Any mask that allows you to breathe therefore allows for transmission of aerosolized viruses.”

In conclusion, Rancourt stated

“we’re in a state right now where the society is very gradually evolving towards totalitarianism.  As soon as you agree with an irrational order, an irrational command that is not science-based, then you are doing nothing to bring back society towards the free and democratic society that we should have.”

While the ACLU remains absent, OCLA (Ontario Civil Liberties Association) recommends Civil Disobedience against Mandatory Mask Laws. If you are not comfortable with civil disobedience and your local food markets all require a face mask, don’t deny yourself the healthy food you and your family need – but DO find ways to register your dissent against being forced to wear a face mask. Write a Letter to the Editor and contact all of your elected political leaders. Be sure they understand your objections that you will not comply with their unconstitutional and immoral behavior.

Guerrilla Warfare

This plandemic has opened a Pandora’s Box? “And “Hope” also escaped along with all the negatives before the box could be slammed shut again. This time around the people now have hope again and I opine that there will be dire consequences to its Illuminati ruling elite masters!”

This is they say is the “NEW NORMAL” but it is not THE NEW NORMAL that the ruling elites had in mind when they unleashed this Plandemic and coined the phrase “NEW NORMAL” The truth is that this is the NEW ABNORMAL!

This time around it appears that their planned and anticipated outcome is not going according to their plan as envisaged by the ruling elite central planners!

This time I opine that they may have gone too far and pushed the people over the edge! This Plandemic is utter madness, one has to be brain dead to believe the official narrative.

There is growing resistance from the plebs but it will not be tolerated by the ruling elites. They have planned this for too long and they have come too far with this agenda of total control of every facet of our lives with the aim of depopulation. It has become abundantly clear that they will push ahead regardless.
48000kids

The ruling elites intend to murder billions of us through their new push of vaccine warfare and social engineering (at the start unsocial distancing is playing a big part) where many will eventually find themselves in FEMA death camps when their plan games move into full momentum.

There is no escaping their relentless threat to the very survival of the human race. They are testing our resolve and challenging us on every front as their governors on the ground are squeezing their constituents in an unrelenting vice like grip in this unlawful lockdown.

The governors where Gretchen Whitner and Andrew Cuomo stand tall are aware of the severe hardships, that the lockdown is causing. Hardships like suicides, mental depression, starvation and sickness but they couldn’t care less.

All of these governors have been instructed by their masters and they are following orders as the complicit foot soldiers of the Illuminati.

This is not some conspiracy theory; the evidence for this is out there! This rain has been a long time coming.

This is what President Woodrow Wilson a secret society member himself had to say… Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”
And this is what President John F Kennedy had to say in his moving Waldorf Astoria speech…“Today no war has been declared–and however fierce the struggle may be, it may never be declared in the traditional fashion. Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired.
If the press is awaiting a declaration of war before it imposes the self-discipline of combat conditions, then I can only say that no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. If you are awaiting a finding of “clear and present danger,” then I can only say that the danger has never been clearer and its presence has never been more imminent.

For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.

Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, and no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match”…

… And today it has become abundantly clear that these two men were making stark reference to the “Iluminati.” And its various branches like the CIA, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and their operative in the likes of George Soros, Henry Kissinger, Bill Gates, Rockefeller and the Rothschild’s families among thousands of others like them standing behind the curtains ready and waiting to drive the final nail in the coffin of humankind.

One of the main reasons for them wanting control of us is because virtually all of them are the “undead” blood sucking vampires who see us as for what we are “humans’ this automatically makes us their sworn enemy!

They have always been envious and jealous of our Divine qualities that vast numbers, both young and old amongst us have yet to discover!

These undead vampires see us a resource that they intend to “mine” fully for our energy. Another one of their reasons being and there are many reasons for their actions…is with us gone…they will be able to increase their vampire population and roam freely in this paradise.

Fast forward to today the new 20’s both Presidents Wilson and Kennedy are long gone… “But they, the evil cabal are still here!”

They, “the undead” are still here! They are here with their men! They are here with their secret agenda! They are here to continue what they started a thousand years ago with their plans for total human control and depopulation that started secretly in India then moved to ancient Egypt.

And now it’s here with America being the epicenter for their role out to the rest of the world!

They are here to do war and they are here to kill us.

Now with their ceaseless wars and look what they have done to us … They have yet to make a formal declaration of war with humanity but it may never be in the traditional manner. It was in about a thousand years that the Illumnati has declared humankind its enemy.

They have organized and fought thousands of wars with humanity, wars that includes the bankers World Wars, information wars, female virgina mutilation wars, murder through abortion wars, technological wars and the list is too long to include here but I am sure that you get the picture.

bill_collage

And now they have upped the ante by silently declaring a vaccine war that threatens the very survival of humankind as a race.
Bill-Gates-deadly-vaccines

The dangerous battle perimeters have been set and are clear to see for most who have eyes to see. They have made this clear… their eugenicist in chief Bill Gates has made this very, very clear. “It’s us against them!”

This is a cowardly and ruthless attack on the innocent and defenseless women and children of the world. This attack is being driven by the giant Illuminati force that has spent a thousand years planning, organizing and deliberating this endgame attack on us.

They placed their secret society operatives in the form of high ranking government officials to head and direct the vast majority of government agencies.

The vast majority of CEO’s of the planet’s largest corporations are alumni of the Tavistock mind control institute.

The army, navy, and the police forces are also headed up mainly by these secret society Tavistock types.

And there are large swathes of diplomatic, mass media, scientific and medical communities who have been infiltrated with these types. All of these people are well versed with the secret agenda and are fully aware of what’s expected of them.

chemtrail-over-city

And the new silent war has begun, and as President Kennedy so eloquently stated… “And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired…”

And today all of the above listed organizations have come together as this one monolithic force to apply this ruthless conspiracy on all of humankind…no marching solders have crossed borders and not a single missile has been fired!

This war is being fought with poisoned needles, a false narrative and they are doing battle with us like shadows in the dark!

People are being murdered by nurses, deaths are being inflated, repressive laws are being passed as you read this. All their people, material and assets are postured into place.

The vast majority of the exchange listed global corporations are Illuminati constructs. These corporations through the banks own virtually all the assets on the planet, from airlines to ships to heavy manufacturing to light manufacturing to large scale corporate farming to mining to banks to oil to our water systems to energy utilities to food complex to pharmaceutical complex to mass media complex to military complex to intelligence complex to psychiatric complex to religious complex to human being securities and virtually all the small to medium sized enterprises by virtue of them making an unwitting pact with the Devil by being bonded to the banks via business loans.

creeps_art

They are all now come together enforcing the NEW ABNORMAL

And if and when you interact with the system by using one of their stores for a purchase or to eating out in one of their restaurants or flying in one of their aero plane’s or if you use anyone of their other business or services because they virtually own it all! “they own everything” they will force you to comply to draconian Plandemic rules and regulations even if it’s against your will. Add all of these things up and what do you get?

You get a dystopia… a totalitarian state…add to this the snitches including the track and trace and we are now living in John Carpenters movie “They Live” And when you add the growing food shortages then we are also living in the movie “Soylent Green”

What we have is a Luciferic blood sucking monolithic Illuminati baby eating pedophile Death Cult joined together by a ruthless conspiracy that has nicely disguised itself in the past as laissez-faire Capitalism.

deep-state-swamp-ben-garrison_1_orig

Capitalism has sucked us into its evil vortex!

It was Lucifer who successfully used all of the above to tempt us into the Devil’s deception. Deception and temptation are the Devils main drawcard.

The curtain has been drawn back now and to all those who said that everything was a conspiracy theory watch closely now for the show has just began!

These entities are leading the charge to ensure that we are subverted, quarantined, vaccinated and billions executed but not necessarily in this order.

This requires a new awakening in the outlook of humankind if we are to survive this!

The ruling elites are standing firm and they show every sign of increasing the use of Stazi, Nazi force that they have ensured lies at their disposal to relentlessly test for virus even if virus is non-existent, they have every intent to make it existent. This is all just a smokescreen to enforce the virus narrative and kill as much as possible.

There is resistance as I write this piece but the question is will the greater population play dead by laying down and being assaulted by governments being knowingly injected with poison?

Islamic State Ramps up Threats Against NYC, NYPD: ‘Pigs! You Will Soon Pay’
6h ago

The New York City Police are seemingly going to be facing more danger of the taunts by local jihadists can be taken at face value.

The U.S. Constitution, of course, preempts the police from acting proactively and shooting these vermin on site.
Breitbart News Service

Islamic State is intensifying online threats against New York City and the NYPD, disseminating bloody images of officers and menacing messages in subways, counterterrorism officials said this week.
Citing the anti-terror officials, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) observed Wednesday:

The rise in violent messages, which officials say are circulated online and intended to inspire and instruct potential terrorists, has persisted since it was first detected in July.

Officials said the increase doesn’t represent an immediate threat to public safety and isn’t linked to Wednesday’s 18th anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

“What we’ve seen lately, is an unusual amount of propaganda directed at attacks on U.S. soil and an unusual amount of that pointing to New York as a target,” John Miller, the NYPD deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism, told the WSJ.

Besides encouraging attacks on soft targets such as the Thanksgiving Day Parade and public transit systems, officials have discovered more ISIS propaganda calling for violence against police.

WSJ noted:

Two posters targeting NYPD were reported on a pro-Islamic State channel on the Telegram messaging app on Aug. 19, both of which displayed a blood drip-style font reading “Pigs!

You will Soon Pay For Your Crimes.”

One of the posters showed an image of an active NYPD officer.

The officer was unharmed and was unaware the image had been used, officials said.

Starting in 2014, ISIS, once considered the wealthiest terrorist group in history, seized swathes of Iraq and Syria where it established a caliphate with its own sharia-compliant government and laws.

ISIS lost its territorial caliphate in Iraq and Syria in March, but the group remains a threat with tens of thousands of fighters and a residual wealth of about $300 million.

The jihadi organization’s loss of territory and manpower has prompted the small number of remaining jihadis to boost the group’s propaganda, Miller told the Journal.

“It is down to a very few people on a very small patch of real estate, and it is trying to survive as an organization and as a voice,” Mr. Miller said.

Miller acknowledged that authorities had degraded ISIS’s ability to carry out high-profile attacks.

However, that has driven the group to reach out to local Islamic terrorists with propaganda aimed at inspiring them to carry out lone-wolf attacks in their communities.

Referring to ISIS, Miller told WSJ:

They haven’t lost the technical ability to create new material, fresh propaganda and increase the volume on their calls for lone wolves to attack. If one or two of these people decide to act on it, for ISIS, that is a win.

ISIS remains intent on targeting New York City because it “embodies American culture,” Rita Katz, the director of SITE Intelligence Group, told the Journal.

What You Don’t Know About 5G but Will Find Out When Its Too Late

The first eight months of WWII with no fighting – was called The Phoney War. Using millimetre waves as a fifth-generation or 5G wireless communications technology is a phoney war of another kind.


This phoney war is also silent, but this time shots are being fired – in the form of laser-like beams of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from banks of thousands of tiny antennas[1] – and almost no one in the firing line knows that they are being silently, seriously and irreparably injured.

In the first instance, 5G is likely to make people electro-hypersensitive (EHS).[2] Perhaps it was sitting in front of two big computer screens for many of the 18 years I worked at the UN that made me EHS. When the UN Office at Vienna installed powerful WiFi and cellphone access points – designed to serve large, public areas – in narrow, metal-walled corridors throughout the Vienna International Centre in December 2015, I was ill continuously for seven months.

I did my best for two and a half years to alert the UN staff union, administration and medical service to the danger to the health of UN staff of EMR from these access points, but was ignored. That’s why, in May 2018, I took the issue to the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres [transcript]. He is a physicist and electrical engineer and lectured on telecommunications signals early in his career, yet asserted that he knew nothing about this. He undertook to ask the World Health Organization to look into it, but seven months later those public access points remain in place. I received no replies to my many follow-up emails.

As a result, I welcomed the opportunity to join the effort to publish an International Appeal to Stop 5G on Earth and in Space because it was clear to me that, despite there having been 43 earlier scientific appeals, very few people understood the dangers of EMR. My experience as an editor could help ensure that a new 5G appeal, including the issue of beaming 5G from space, was clear, comprehensive, explanatory, and accessible to the non-scientist. The International Appeal to Stop 5G on Earth and in Space is fully referenced, citing over a hundred scientific papers among the tens of thousands on the biological effects of EMR published over the last 80 years.[3]

Having spent years editing UN documents dealing with space, I know that outer space is hotly contested geopolitically and any untoward event involving a military satellite risks triggering a catastrophic response.[4] Space law is so inadequate – just one example is the complexity of space liability law [5],[6] – that we could really call the Earth orbits a new Wild West. China caused international consternation in 2007 when it demonstrated an anti-satellite weapon by destroying its own satellite. Space debris is the main concern among space-faring nations, with a so-called Kessler syndrome positing a cascade of space debris that could make the Earth orbits unusable for a thousand years.[7] Does launching 20,000+ commercial 5G satellites in such circumstances sound rational to you?

I live in Vienna, Austria, where the 5G rollout is suddenly upon us. Within the last five weeks, pre-5G has been officially announced at Vienna airport and 5G at the Rathausplatz, the main square in Vienna, which attracts tens of thousands of visitors to its Christmas market each December and skating rink each January, which are special treats for children. Along with birds and insects, children are the most vulnerable to 5G depredation because of their little bodies.[8]

Friends and acquaintances and their children in Vienna are already reporting the classic symptoms of EMR poisoning:[9] nosebleeds, headaches, eye pains, chest pains, nausea, fatigue, vomiting, tinnitus, dizziness, flu-like symptoms, and cardiac pain. They also report a tight band around the head; pressure on the top of the head; short, stabbing pains around the body; and buzzing internal organs. Other biological effects such as tumours and dementia usually take longer to manifest, but in the case of 5G, which has never been tested for health or safety, who knows?[10]

Seemingly overnight a forest of 5G infrastructure has sprouted in Austria. In the space of three weeks one friend has gone from robust health to fleeing this country, where she has lived for 30 years. Each person experiences EMR differently. For her, it was extreme torture so she and I spent her last two nights in Austria sleeping in the woods. Interestingly, as she drove across southern Germany, she suffered torture even worse than in Austria, while in northern Germany she had no symptoms at all and felt completely normal, which suggests that there has been as yet no 5G rollout there.

There are no legal limits on exposure to EMR. Conveniently for the telecommunications industry, there are only non-legally enforceable guidelines such as those produced by the grandly named International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection, which turns out to be like the Wizard of Oz, just a tiny little NGO in Germany that appoints its own members, none of whom is a medical doctor or environmental expert.[11]

Like the Wizard of Oz, ICNIRP seems to have magical powers. Its prestidigitation makes non-thermal (non-heating) effects of EMR exposure disappear into thin air, for taking into account the tens of thousands of research studies demonstrating the biological effects of EMR would invalidate its so-called safety guidelines.[12]It has bewitched the International Telecommunication Union, part of the UN family, into recognising these guidelines.[13] And one little email sent to ICNIRP in October 2018 to submit Professor Martin Pall’s comments on ICNIRP’s new draft guidelines conjured up an immediate explosion of interest in the sender’s online presence – which had hitherto attracted none – from companies and individuals worldwide, one country’s immigration authorities, the office of the Austrian Chancellor (head of government), a firm of lawyers in Vienna and even Interpol![14],[15]

I hope that people read and share our Stop 5G Space Appeal to wake up themselves and others quickly and use it to take action themselves to stop 5G. Even eight short months of this 5G Phoney War could spell catastrophe for all life on Earth. Elon Musk is set to launch the first 4,425 5G satellites in June 2019 and “blanket” the Earth with 5G, in breach of countless international treaties. This could initiate the last great extinction, courtesy of the multi-trillion-US-dollar 5G, the biggest biological experiment and most heinous manifestation of hubris and greed in human history.[10]

People’s first reaction to the idea that 5G may be an existential threat to all life on Earth is usually disbelief and/or cognitive dissonance. Once they examine the facts, however, their second reaction is often terror.

We need to transcend this in order to see 5G as an opportunity to empower ourselves, take responsibility and take action. We may have already lost 80 per cent of our insects to EMR in the last 20 years.[16] Our trees risk being cut down by the millions in order to ensure continuous 5G signalling for self-driving cars, buses and trains.[17] Are we going to stand by and see ourselves and our children irradiated, our food systems decimated, our natural surroundings destroyed?

Our newspapers are now casually popularising the meme that human extinction would be a good thing,[18],[19] but when the question becomes not rhetorical but real, when it’s your life, your child, your community, your environment that is under immediate threat, can you really subscribe to such a suggestion? If you don’t, please sign the Stop 5G Appeal and get active in contacting everyone you can think of who has the power to stop 5G, especially Elon Musk[20] and the CEOs of all the other companies planning to launch 5G satellites, starting in just 20 weeks from now. Life on Earth needs your help now.

The transcript of my exchange with the UN Secretary-General of 14 May 2018 follows:

Staff member: Mr. Secretary-General

UN staff have repeatedly been told that they are the most important resource of this Organization.

Since December 2015, the staff here at the Vienna International Centre have been exposed to off-the-scale electromagnetic radiation from WiFi and mobile phone boosters installed on very low ceilings throughout the buildings. Current public exposure levels are at least one quintillion times (that’s 18 zeros) above natural background radiation according to Professor Olle Johansson of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden.

The highly dangerous biological effects of EMFs have been documented by thousands of studies since 1932 indicating that we may be facing a global health catastrophe orders of magnitude worse than those caused by tobacco and asbestos.

Mr. Secretary-General, on the basis of the Precautionary Principle, I urge you to have these EMF-emitting devices removed immediately and to call a halt to any rollout of 5G at UN duty stations, because it is designed to deliver concentrated and focused electromagnetic radiation in excess of 100 times current levels in the same way as do directed energy weapons.

In line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, to “Protect, Respect and Remedy”, 5G technologies MUST be subjected to an independent health and safety assessment before they are launched anywhere in the world.

There is currently an international appeal (https://www.emfscientist.org/index. php/emf-scientist-appeal) signed by 237 EMF scientists from 41 nations urging the UN and particularly the WHO to exert strong leadership in fostering the development of more protective EMF guidelines, encouraging precautionary measures, and educating the public about health risks, particularly risk to children and fetal development.

Mr. Secretary-General, we have a unique opportunity here at the UN Office at Vienna. Since our medical records are digitised, you have the possibility of releasing data on a closed population exposed to off-the-scale levels of electromagnetic radiation to establish if there have already been abnormal health consequences for the UN staff here in the last 28 months.

I urge you to do so and stop any 5G rollout in these buildings immediately.

Thank you.

UN Secretary-General: Sorry, because you are talking to someone who is a little bit ignorant on these things. You’re talking about the WiFi systems?

Staff member: On the ceilings of these buildings, WiFi boosters and cell phone boosters were installed without consultation, without information to staff in December 2015. Now, if you understand electromagnetic radiation, the signal is – if you cannot get a signal from your mobile phone, the signal goes to maximum strength and that then bounces off metal walls affecting the body multiple times at maximum exposure levels. So the situation here is extremely dangerous. I have heard anecdotally of many people who have had health problems. I don’t know if they are related but the Precautionary Principle would dictate that we use our medical records to look into this and that we remove these dangerous devices immediately. Thank you.

UN Secretary-General: Well, I’m worried because I put those devices in my house.[Laughter & applause]

Staff member: Not a good idea!

UN Secretary-General: This I will have to – I confess my ignorance on this but I’m going to raise this with WHO [World Health Organization] – which I think is the organisation that might be able to deal with it properly for them to put someone – their staff or organisations to work on that because I must confess I was not aware of that danger – [humorously] to the extent that I put those things in the rooms of my house – in the ceiling.

Staff member: I would suggest that everybody start looking into this issue and particularly into 5G, which 237 scientists from 41 countries consider a threat that is far worse than the tobacco and asbestos threats of the past.

UN Secretary-General: Well, maybe I have learned something completely new. I hope it will be very useful to me but I confess it is the first time I hear about it.

“However, as more countries integrate space into their national military capabilities and rely on space-based information for national security, there is an increased chance that any interference (either actual or perceived) with satellites could spark or escalate tensions and conflict in space or on Earth. This is made all the more difficult by the challenge of determining the exact cause of a satellite malfunction: whether it was due to a space weather event, impact by space debris, unintentional interference, or deliberate act of aggression.”

Google CEO Sundar Pichai told thousands of his vision for a future in which his company, extends its reach into nearly every aspect of its users’ lives.

Google Pushes for Bigger Role in Smart Homes

Google CEO Sundar Pichai told thousands of developers last week his vision for a future in which his company, once known just as a way to search the Internet, extends its reach into nearly every aspect of its users’ lives.

He envisions people telling a voice-activated device called Google Home to turn on lights or play music. And when people chat with friends on Google’s new messaging app, Allo, they won’t have to leave the app to make a restaurant reservation. Allo will actually suggest where they should dine based on the context of the conversation.

“We are pushing ourselves really hard so Google is evolving and staying a step ahead of our users,” Pichai said to a crowd of more than 7,000 people at the Google I/O conference at Mountain View’s Shoreline Amphitheatre.

Google Home will directly compete with the $180 Amazon Echo. While Amazon has a head start, Google is betting that its dominance of the Internet search market will give consumers a reason to buy Home instead. The device, which will hit the market this year, can play music, answer questions such as “How much fat is in an avocado?” and operate Web-connected “smart home” appliances.

“Google Home could be a major force and could also dramatically decrease the sales potential of Amazon Echo,” said Patrick Moorhead, president of Moor Insights & Strategy. “The biggest sales determinant could be the quality of the (artificial intelligence) experience, and in the end, Google will likely win over Amazon.”

Google did not reveal the price of the small device, which will have a white top. Customers will choose their own color for the bottom to blend in with their home.

Many Google users are already using voice commands to search the Internet. In the United States, about 20 percent of the queries in Google’s mobile app are voice queries, according to the company.

The device will be a cornerstone of a concept that Pichai on Wednesday described as “Google assistant,” an ongoing dialogue between the company and users.

Google already helps them in many facets of their daily lives, from turning on a thermostat to translating words and searching for selfies in their digital photo collections. And Google’s expanding universe of products and services can learn their users’ preferences over time.

“The Google assistant not only knows about the world, it will also stand apart with how well it gets to know you over time, with your permission of course,” said Mario Queiroz, a Google vice president of product management.

Even though few people own smart-home devices, like Google’s Nest thermostat, some analysts are bullish that this will become a major tech market in the future. Just 19 percent of U.S. broadband households have smart-home devices, according to a report this year by research firm Parks Associates.

“Adoption of the connected lifestyle continues to expand as the supporting technologies mature and the value propositions of smart, connected devices and streaming services are better understood by consumers,” said analyst Brad Russell with Parks Associates.

Google also unveiled video chat app Duo and messaging app Allo, available on Android and Apple devices this summer.

Allo has similar features to Facebook Messenger, where users can chat with friends and add stickers. But it also has an option to have an “incognito” chat that is encrypted. While users are chatting on Allo, they can call on Google to suggest restaurants and book reservations through OpenTable without leaving the app.

Google also renewed its commitment to virtual reality, announcing a platform that will bring the budding medium to smartphones, headsets and apps.

The company has worked with phone manufacturers such as Samsung and Huawei to produce phones that will meet the specifications of Google’s new virtual reality platform. Google also said it has made a prototype design for a virtual reality headset and controller that will work with the Android operating system and shared that design with Android manufacturers. The headset would work with a smartphone.

“There are so many things you need to get just right,” said Clay Bavor, a Google vice president overseeing virtual reality, regarding the headset. “It has to be comfortable.”

More information on Google’s virtual reality plans will be revealed on Thursday, company representatives said.

Gene Munster, an analyst with Piper Jaffray, argues that VR devices could replace smartphones in the future, adding that he believes the ability to do computing hands-free and through eye movement is better than typing or tapping on a screen.

“This is the equivalent of talking about smartphones in 1995,” Munster said.

Agendas Acc0rding to the Federal Bar Association


I ran across this tonight, looking for something else, but it caught my eye and so I read it.
Knowing what I know about this country and being “awake”, I find the following pretty fucking interesting. What are your thoughts?:

FEDERAL BAR ASSOCIATION
2015-16 ISSUES AGENDA
http://www.fedbar.org/Advocacy/Issues-Agendas.aspx

Active Issues | Monitored Issues
ACTIVE LEGISLATIVE ISSUES

Independence of the Federal Judiciary

The Federal Bar Association reaffirms the importance of the independence of the judiciary, recognizing that judicial decisions are not immune from scrutiny, but are to be made solely on the basis of the law.

Funding for the Federal Courts

The Federal Bar Association supports adequate funding for the general and continuing operations of the federal courts, including an equitable level of rent and facilities expense consistent with actual costs, budgetary constraints, staffing needs and security considerations, to permit the courts to fulfill their constitutional and statutory responsibilities

Federal Judgeships and Caseloads

The Federal Bar Association supports the authorization and establishment of additional permanent and temporary federal judgeships, including bankruptcy judgeships, along with support personnel, as proposed by the Judicial Conference of the United States, when rising caseloads in the federal courts threaten the prompt delivery of justice. The Federal Bar Association also supports efforts to educate Congress, the legal profession and the general public about how the overwhelming case loads threaten the ability of the Third Branch of the federal government to function.

Federal Judicial Vacancies

The Federal Bar Association calls upon the President and Congress to act promptly and responsibly in nominating and confirming nominees to the federal appellate and district courts. The Federal Bar Association supports the development of strategies to reduce the time required to fill federal judicial vacancies.

Courthouse Security

The Federal Bar Association supports the adoption of adequate security measures to protect the federal judiciary, their families and court personnel in and outside the courthouse, while preserving meaningful public access to judicial proceedings.

Federal Judicial Pay

The Federal Bar Association support equitable compensation and regular periodic adjustments for the federal judiciary, as well as senior officials of the Executive Branch and Members of Congress, to promote the recruitment and retention of the highest quality public servants.

Respect for the Federal Courts

Declining public confidence in our courts undermines public respect for the courts and the legitimacy of their rulings. To counter that influence, the Federal Bar Association supports programming and other efforts to educate the public about the federal courts and the role they serve in assuring a just society.

Professionalism and Stature of Federal Attorneys

The Federal Bar Association supports and promotes efforts to improve the professionalism and stature of attorneys employed by the federal government, including: enhancements to the compensation packages of federal attorneys, including pay and retirement benefits, to assist in recruitment and retention; the expansion, consistent with applicable conflict of interest laws, of policies encouraging full participation of attorneys employed by the federal government in professional organizations and pro bono legal activities, including approval for use of administrative leave; enhanced federal funding for participation in continuing legal education and training programs, including paid tuition and administrative leave; and the establishment of programs for student loan deferral and repayment assistance for all federal attorneys, including federal law clerks, federal defenders and judge advocates of the Armed Forces, in support of recruitment and retention efforts.

Social Security Disability Appeals Backlog

The Federal Bar Association supports adequate funding and resources for the Social Security Administration to remove the significant backlog of disability benefit appeals awaiting adjudication and to assure the fair and timely administration of justice for all appellants.

Authority of Bankruptcy Judges in “Core Proceedings”

The Federal Bar Association supports amendment of bankruptcy law to expressly allow bankruptcy judges to issue proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law in core proceedings in which they are otherwise barred from entering final judgments under Article III of the United States Constitution.

Commission on Nazi-Confiscated Art Claims

The Federal Bar Association supports the Congressional creation of a commission to address identification and ownership issues related to Nazi-confiscated artworks, pursuant to the Washington Conference Principles on Nazi-Confiscated Art, as signed by the United States and the international community.

Article I Immigration Court
The Federal Bar Association supports the transfer of responsibilities for the adjudication of immigration claims from the Executive Office of Immigration Review within the Department of Justice to a specialized Article I court, as established by Congress, for the adjudication of claims under the Immigration and Naturalization Act.

Federal Criminal Sentencing
The Federal Bar Association supports efforts to advance fairness and consistency in federal sentencing, while preserving judicial independence and discretion to deal with the particular circumstances of individual cases.

Military Spouse Attorney Mobility
The Federal Bar Association supports state-level legal licensing accommodations, including bar admission without additional examination, for attorneys who are spouses of service members, i.e., members of the uniformed services of the United States as defined in 10 USC §101(a)(5), when: (1) those “military spouse attorneys” are present in a particular state, commonwealth, or territory of the United States or District of Columbia due to their service members’ military assignment; (2) they are graduates of accredited law schools; and (3) they are licensed attorneys in good standing in the bar of another state, commonwealth, or territory of the United States or District of Columbia.

Patent Litigation Reform
The Federal Bar Association supports legislation that curbs abusive patent litigation practices and other responsible measures to improve the quality and clarity of patents. The FBA opposes legislation that reduces judicial discretion in adjudicating patent actions or circumvents the Rules Enabling Act by mandating changes that depart from the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in patent cases.

MONITORED LEGISLATIVE ISSUES

Courthouse Construction

The Federal Bar Association supports the full funding of courthouse construction proposed by the Judicial Conference of the United States.

Cameras in the Courts

The Federal Bar Association encourages a discussion of the competing considerations vis-a-vis proposed legislation which would authorize federal judges, in their discretion, to permit photographing, electronic recording, broadcasting, and televising of federal court proceedings in appropriate circumstances.

Division of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals

The Federal Bar Association opposes the division of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, consistent with its capacity to effectively and efficiently render justice.

Continuing Legal Education Funding for the Federal Judiciary

The Federal Bar Association supports the expansion of and enhancement of federal funding for continuing legal education and training programs for the federal judiciary.

Expansion of Federal Jurisdiction Over State and Local-Prosecuted Crimes

The Federal Bar Association advocates strict scrutiny of legislation proposing to grant original jurisdiction to federal authorities over crimes traditionally reserved to state and local prosecution.

Criminal Justice Act Panel Attorney Compensation

The Federal Bar Association supports Congressional funding to permit an increase in compensation rates for Criminal Justice Act panel attorneys.

National Security and Civil Liberties

The Federal Bar Association encourages the discussion of the competing considerations in the nation’s war against terror between the protection of civil liberties and the interests of national security.

Prevention of Epidemics and Civil Liberties

The Federal Bar Association encourages and contributes to a discussion of the competing considerations between governmental restrictions to guard against epidemics and pandemics and the preservation of individual rights, as well as the use of technology to ensure the continuance of participatory governance.

Safety of Administrative Judges

The Federal Bar Association supports the efforts by the Social Security Administration and the Executive Office of Immigration Review to take appropriate steps to ensure the security of their administrative law judges and immigration judges, and all others who participate in its proceedings.

Veteran Disability Claims Adjudication

The Federal Bar Association supports legislative and administrative improvements to the veterans disability claims process in the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs to assure equitable and expeditious determinations.

Attorney Fee-Based Representation of Veterans

The Federal Bar Association supports proposals to expand the availability of fee-based representation of veterans in the disability claims process and to oppose any efforts to repeal the authority of attorney representation to veterans in the furtherance of such claims.

Frivolous Litigation

The Federal Bar Association opposes legislative proposals to eliminate judicial discretion in the imposition of sanctions for frivolous litigation, including proposals to revise Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by imposing mandatory sanctions and preventing a party from withdrawing challenged pleadings on a voluntary basis within a reasonable time.

Adopted by the Board of Directors
Federal Bar Association
July 10, 2015

The compass of FBA’s government relations program is its Issues Agenda, a roster of policy priorities to which the Association devotes its advocacy resources. The policy priorities embraced by the Issues Agenda are associated with active issues that concern the health and welfare of the federal judicial system and effective federal legal practice. For example, they concern the preservation of judicial independence, adequate funding and facilities for the federal courts, sufficient numbers of federal judgeships, equitable compensation for the federal judiciary, fairness and consistency in federal sentencing and a host of other matters

Description:
A pest control firm exterminated 4 400 rats over two days at a state-run hospital in India, with thousands still on the premises, its chief executive said Thursday. Maharaja Yeshwantrao in Indore, about 800km south of Delhi, is still home to more than 10 000 rodents, said Sanjay G Karmakar, head of Laxmi Fumigation and Pest Control Service Ltd. The complex consists of seven buildings across about 10 acres. “We have only tackled a part of the grounds so far – they are riddled with rodent burrows, at least 1 000 of them. Each would have four to eight rodents. “We have not started on the buildings yet,” Karmakar said. The pest control firm is baiting the rodents with different food each day. “One day it is peanuts and clarified butter, another day its roasted chickpeas, potato cakes and so on,” Karmakar said. “If one of a family dies after eating something, the other rats won’t touch the same food, so we have to keep changing the menu.” Operation Kayakalp (transformation) began on October 28 and is scheduled to run until 4 December. Karmakar’s company ran a similar operation at the hospital in 1994 soon after an outbreak of pneumonic plague in the neighbouring state of Gujarat. “We cremated 12 000 rodents at the local electric crematorium in the presence of government officials after Kayakalp I in 1994,” Karmakar said. But there was no follow up by the hospital authorities and the rodents multiplied again. The 950-bed hospital is one of the biggest government-run healthcare facilities in Madhya Pradesh state. It includes a medical college and is visited by over 1 100 outpatients daily. Officials said poor refuse disposal was the main reason for the rat infestation.
