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.

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.

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.

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?

Chaos Continues In Hong Kong; Undercover Cops Pull Guns Amid ‘Aggressive Clearance Operation’

Violence continued in Hong Kong as anti-government demonstrations entered their 17th week. The police response was described by the Washington Post as “among the most aggressive” since the movement began over a now-withdrawn extradition bill which would have allowed China to forcibly move suspects to the mainland for face trial in communist courts.

Protesters destroyed signs and flags raised in advance of the 70th anniversary celebrations of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, some of which were burned. According to WaPo, “At times, riot police appeared outnumbered. Shoppers at a luxury mall in central Hong Kong looked on as police and protesters engaged in a pitched battle. Protesters crouched, created a phalanx of umbrellas and tossed bricks and bottles toward the officers. Police fired round after round of tear gas.”

The protesters inched forward as rubber bullets shredded their umbrellas. When it appeared the police might be outflanked, officers made a hasty retreat. Protesters seized the moment, rushing toward officers piling into police vans. 

Demonstrators, cheered by onlookers and fellow marchers, hit the vans with poles and bottles as the vehicles sped away. The road was littered with glass and spent tear-gas canisters clinked across the asphalt as the protesters continued their march. 

At nightfall in the nearby neighborhood of Wan Chai, residents left their homes and workplaces to jeer at police and pelt their vehicles with bricks and bottles. -Washington Post

Several people were seriously injured, including an Indonesian journalist based in Hong Kong who was hit in the eye by a projectile while live-streaming the event for her publication.

Street battles broke between protesters and police who struggled to keep the demonstrators at bay with rubber bullets and tear gas. 

Residents and tourists were caught in the crossfire, clutching their faces and running in fear in several areas, including the neon-lit luxury shopping district of Causeway Bay. -Washington Post

In addition to tear gas, authorities deployed water cannons again – spraying protesters with blue die containing an irritant.

At approximately 5pm, riot police launched an aggressive clearance operation against protesters along Harcourt Road – a frequent location for clashes.

Police pushed young demonstrators to the asphalt road and dragged them away, leaving pools of blood. Hong Kong’s hospital authority said 13 people were admitted to hospitals by 7:30 p.m., including one in serious condition. -Washington Post

Vaccine injury payouts exceed $4 billion, yet most people remain uninformed about the risks linked to vaccinations

Vaccine injury payouts exceed $4 billion, yet most people remain uninformed about the risks linked to vaccinations

Recent data from the Health Resources & Services Administration reveals some alarming information about vaccine side effects and the legal outcome of a vaccine injury.

Payouts from a vaccine injury compensation fund have now exceeded $4 billion, and this reflects the government’s own assessment that just one percent of all vaccine injuries are reported.

As we would expect: the pharmaceutical industry, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) plus many other ‘health’ organizations continue to insist that vaccines are ‘safe and effective’ – despite the huge payouts issued by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP).

Bill-Gates-deadly-vaccines
There has never been a wider level of brainwashing throughout a society. Too many uninformed citizens are being kept in the dark about the true risks associated with these vaccines.

The most disturbing reality linked to vaccine injury payouts
The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) was launched by President Reagan in 1986 as an ‘alternative remedy’ to judicial action for vaccine injuries. A key component is the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) with its own “vaccine court.”

Within this system, consumers are required to meet an extremely high burden of proof to win their cases. Over its 30-year history, consumers have filed more than 20,000 petitions.

The result? Less than one-third of these victims receive compensation, and since only about one percent of vaccine injury cases are reported, only a fraction of those affected by vaccine side effects ever receive monetary compensation for their pain.

While some victims do receive a legal victory, overall it seems like this program cares more about protecting the vaccine manufacturer. If big pharma is not held accountable for its actions, why should they focus on making vaccines safer?

bill-gates-philanthropy-vaccine
Despite horrific side effects: Vaccines get promoted, more than ever!
Meanwhile, the CDC childhood vaccine schedule guarantees a large and lucrative market for the pharmaceutical companies. As you may know, there’s been a push – in recent years – to vaccinate teenagers with the HPV shot.

In addition, the highly ineffective flu vaccine is heavily marketed to people of all ages.

The source of many vaccine side effects has been linked to the toxic metals – which are included as so-called ‘necessary’ ingredients. Many vaccines on the market today contain: aluminum, mercury and other ingredients that essentially function as neurotoxins – suppressing the immune system; leading to nervous system issues and cognitive problems.

download

Parents beware: children under the age of 3, in particular, receive these unsafe ingredients in amounts that far exceed acceptable levels.

The reason why vaccines cause problems like, autism and autoimmune disorders
According to ‘conventional wisdom,’ adults should not receive more than 25 micrograms (mcg) of aluminum at one time; infants or children – no more than 10 micrograms. Yet, while adhering to a typical vaccine schedule, small children will be exposed to at least 250 mcg on their first day of life! (plus, much more before the age of 3)

In addition to neurological problems, autoimmune disorders and autism, many vaccine side effects include: chronic aches and pain, paralysis and even sudden premature death. Regulatory agencies and the drug companies themselves need to start focusing on better ways to protect our society from disease.

Injecting neurotoxins into the human body is NOT ‘safe’ or ‘effective.’ It’s just wrong.

We, as concerned citizens, must educate ourselves and (always) make informed decisions about our healthcare.

Eight Iraqi Refugees Convicted Of Gang-Raping German Tourist

An Austrian court convicted eight Iraqi refugees Thursday of participating in a gang rape of a German tourist New Years Eve in 2015, the Associated Press reports.

All of the men entered Austria during the 2015 refugee wave, and five of the men were granted asylum by the Austrian government. The 25-year-old female German tourist was extremely intoxicated during the incident, and the defense claimed she might have sent “false signals” to her attackers.

The assault was not the only one committed by refugees that night. Sexual assaults were reported in other German cities as well. Documents from German police indicate that nearly 2,000 men, including many Syrian and Iraqi refugees, sexually assaulted 1,200 German women New Years Eve 2015.

Berlin’s biggest pool was even forced to hire burly security guards to deter Muslim refugees from touching women. German civil society organizations also created councils to teach refugees Western norms at pools — chief among these norms is not touching women.

In some cases, German girls have taken to wearing temporary tattoos at public pools that say “no” to stop unwanted sexual attention. A leaked German police report from July reveals that “sexual offences are recording a huge increase.”

“In particular, offenses of rape and sexual abuse of children in bathing establishments is significant,” according to the report. The police identify the offenders as “for the most part immigrants.”

LEO HOHMANN: NOW WE KNOW HOW MANY ILLEGAL ALIENS REALLY IN U.S. More than 100,000 granted legal status every year

image: http://www.wnd.com/files/2016/10/immigrants-in-u.s.-1.jpg

immigrants in u.s.
A new study on immigration underscores that immigration – legal and illegal – is adding 8.3 million people to the U.S. population every four years and that some of the fastest rates of migration are coming from countries hostile to American values of freedom and democracy.

For instance, the sending country with the largest percentage increase in immigrants living in the U.S. during the four years from 2010 to 2014 was Saudi Arabia, with a 93 percent increase, followed by Bangladesh at 37 percent and Iraq at 36 percent.

image: http://www.wnd.com/files/2016/10/legals-illegals-in-pie-chart.jpg
legals illegals in pie chartAbout one-fourth of the 42.4 million foreign-born people living in the United States are illegal immigrants – this amounts to roughly 10.5 million, according to the study by Center for Immigration Studies.While many immigration hawks might dispute that number and say it’s actually much higher, the facts don’t bear it out, says Steven Camarota, director of research for CIS and co-author of the report with demographer Karen Zeigler.

“You can easily have a situation where 400,000 new people settle in the U.S. every year by overstaying their visas or sneaking across the border and that doesn’t mean you’re adding to the overall illegal immigrant population,” Camarota told WND.

Read the entire study and view all the charts at CIS.com.

Obama in November 2014 issued a series of executive orders that granted amnesty to about 5 million illegals, or nearly half of the estimated 10.5 million to 11 million now in the country. The federal courts have thus far blocked his actions as unconstitutional, and the Supreme Court, which deadlocked on the issue previously, ruled Monday that it will not re-hear the case.

Meanwhile, illegal-alien crime sprees continue to rock the country, including a series of M-13 gang-related killings on Long Island. The most recent case involved the murder of two teenage girls.

On Sept. 13, Nisa Mickens, 15, and her best friend, Kayla Cuevas, 16, were murdered, their battered bodies found near an elementary school in Brentwood on the island, the New York Times reports.

A week later and just two miles away, the remains of two more teenagers – Oscar Acosta, 19, and Miguel Garcia-Moran, 15 – were discovered in the woods near a hospital.

For nearly two decades, MS-13, an El Salvadoran gang, has been “terrorizing” the town, especially its young people, according to the Times report. Since 2009, its members have been accused of at least 14 murders.

So the problems of illegal immigration are not to be downplayed. But the problems of legal immigration are many times greater, according to the CIS study, which analyzed Census data.

“You could have half-a-million every year come illegally, and in that same year some go home, every year some will die, and some who were illegal become legal,” Camarota said.

He said there are more than 100,000 illegals given legal status every year.

“They marry an American, they find employment with a company that gives them a visa, they win the visa lottery, or they get a ‘cancellation of removal’ order from a judge that essentially gives them asylum status,” he said.

Ann Coulter’s back, and she’s never been better than in “Adios, America!: The Left’s Plan to Turn our Country into a Third World Hellhole.”

“Some get deported, and some go home voluntarily every year on their own. We can calculate death rates by age, and that’s why the overall illegal population can be stable even if 400,000 come in every year,” he added.

“You also have to remember that there are no illegal-immigrant births in the United States, because everybody born here is automatically a U.S. citizen,” Camarota added. “Now you can bemoan that and say it’s wrong, but for these purposes we can’t add them into the illegal population. We can only add those coming from abroad.”

Legal immigration has roughly four times the impact of illegal immigration, Camarota says.

“So the bottom line is, illegal immigration is dwarfed by legal immigration. The impact on our schools and on our welfare system is much bigger, and also the political impact.”

When states do apportionment and redistricting, they draw the lines for seats in Congress and state legislatures based on total population, regardless of immigration status.

“There are at least three legal immigrants for every illegal immigrant,” Camarota said. “And while the illegals do vote fraudulently, sometimes it’s the legal immigrants who vote in much larger numbers and have the big political impact on our system.”

Legal immigrants are also more dangerous in terms of their propensity to commit acts of Islamic terrorism, a lesson that should have been learned from the 9/11 attacks in which the hijackers were here largely on student and tourist visas.

Refugees connected to acts of terror

More recently, the stabbing attacks on a St. Could, Minnesota, mall that injured 10 and the pipe bombings in New York city that injured 29 were carried out by refugees, meaning they were legal immigrants. The Chattanooga shooting of five U.S. servicemen and the mass shooting in San Bernardino in 2015, as well as the attack on an Orlando gay nightclub in June 2016, were all carried out by second-generation Americans born to Muslims who legally migrated to the U.S.

The study also found some surprising facts on jobs.

“There really are no jobs Americans won’t do,” Camarota said. “Pretty much every job category is at least half American, even farms, because there are still a lot of family farms.”

In the area of entrepreneurship, Camarota found that immigrants do start businesses, but overall their rates of employment versus self-employment are about the same as native-born Americans. “So entrepreneurship is not lacking among immigrants but nor is it a distinguishing characteristic.”

Promoters of refugee resettlement use ‘stupid’ arguments not supported by data

This refutes one of the main arguments used by mayors trying to promote refugee resettlement and mass immigration in their cities.

“The way in which refugee resettlement gets sold sometimes is so stupid,” Camarota said. “We could all say that the idea that they are fleeing for their life is probably not true in most cases, but the idea is that they are in desperate circumstances and we’re taking them as a humanitarian gesture. But we know from lots of data that refugees use welfare in large amounts and for very long periods of time. We know that about this population, so it’s reasonable for them to struggle financially.

“Resettlement, if we’re going to do it, should be done as part of an honest discussion. We have the data on this, but we don’t [have an honest discussion].”

Welfare usage rates extremely high

Rates of welfare usage are not only high among refugees but also among immigrants from Latin America.

“Sixty percent of families from Mexico use at least one welfare program,” Camarota said. “Roughly half the Mexicans in the U.S. are illegal. But more importantly, what you see here if you pull out the illegals from Mexico and Latin America and you see that they sign their kids up for lots of programs. And those kids were born here, many of them. Even if they were not born here and are illegal, they can get free school, WIC and Medicaid. A pregnant woman can get Medicaid too if she is illegal.”

This is something that was not a problem during earlier waves of immigration in the 1880s, 1920s and 1950s. Immigrants were required to be self-supporting.

“Lots of immigrants come to America now and can’t support their own kids,” Camarota said. “They have to turn to the taxpayer. That’s the question to ask. Depends how you feel about that.”

Description:
The unusual situation is harshly affecting the local fisherpeople’s life, while authorities have finally started an investigation to find the cause of the problem. For reasons as yet unknown, huge numbers of fish from the same species have been dying on the tourist beaches of Ganabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil over the past month, an unprecedented situation that is scaring the population. The municipal cleaning service have found 20 tons of shads, a particular species of fish similar to sardines and herrings, as well as four sea turtles. Surprisingly, “the tests proved that it is not a matter of chemical or toxic contamination of water,” declared the oceanograph David Zee to AFP, from the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). The fisherpeople have complained of being forced to buy fish to resell, as their weekly wage has been cut by more than half, and have blaimed the activities of the giant national oil company, Petrobras. “The fisherman aren’t going to poison the water as it’s their lifeline. This is not because of fishermen. Why are [the authorities] not checking the activities of the petrochemical industry? Why are they not checking the refineries? It is very clear that we are witnessing a crime against the environment. What we need to know is who is responsible and what products are being used,” said Alexandre Anderson, president of the Men and Women of the Sea Association to AFP. Two years ago, the Brazilian general attorney accused the Petrobras company of environmental crime, for contaminating the bay and one of the rivers. As only one species seems to be involved so far, another possible cause would be thermal pollution: the water would be too warm, therefore diminishing the solvability of oxygen, something the shads are very sensitive to, explained Zee. According to the scientist, this phenomenon would be aggravated by the fact that the circulation and change of water is more difficult in this part of the bay. Five specimens of shads have been sent for examination on Tuesday to the department of biology of the UFRJ, and the results should be known within the next week.
