Monday, June 28, 2021 President Blackrock by Wm EngdahlSHARE
BlackRock is a mutual fund management company for institutional investors, like pension funds, unions, and insurance companies. They manage a staggering $9 Trillion in investments, and they are the largest shareholder in most of the Fortune 500 companies. Larry Fink of BlackRock doesn't own all that money--he doesn't have to. He still gets to vote those shares and control the companies. Fink has leveraged that economic power into the political sphere. Engdahl says that Fink installed Biden in the White House, and now controls Biden Administration personnel and policies.
Friday, January 29, 2021 China's Digital Currency -- Ready or not Here I ComeSHARE
Fred Reed is eminently Reedable as always. He puts out the facts and asks the right questions. The Chinese Digital Yuan is backed by the huge Chinese manufacturing infrastructure. It's also backed by gold. It's also backed by a market basket of world currencies. If the International Bank of Settlements or the Federal Reserve want to establish a world reserve currency to replace the dollar, they've got some catching up to do.
Is this something we should resist? We don't want to trust the People's Bank of China with our financial information. We don't want to give up the enormous advantages that Americans have enjoyed as purveyors of the world reserve currency.

In a one-sentence order, the court refused to overturn election results that had already been certified and submitted.
I'm saying good-bye today to 15 years of work I have done as an election integrity activist. This season has been the chance we were waiting for. It was the 1st time that EITHER PARTY had called for investigation of election irregularities. There were specific claims by top lawyers--one of whom admitted there has been a history of fraud on both sides. Heck--the POTUS himself asked for Hand-Counted Paper Ballots--which my colleagues & I have wanted for years.
If you hadn't noticed, YouTube has taken down all videos that claim US elections IN THE PAST as well as the present have been corrupted. They are all "fake news".
The irony is that next year, the Democrats will be (as usual) victims of election rigging, & the boy who cried wolf will holler in vain.
Tuesday, August 25, 2020 70 Years of Mind Control "Experiments" at the CIASHARE
It may be difficult for Americans to comprehend the frame of mind of the men who started the CIA's program to manipulate human behavior. CIA leaders were certain the Commies were doing it, and they were determined to find a defense with Project Bluebird (1950), then Artichoke, then MKULTRA. Each code name broadened their sweep. They used drugs, torture and brainwashing techniques An internal memo said "Precautions must be taken to conceal these activities from the American public." They wanted to kill people and destroy the will to live. They also wanted to control all of us, the way we think, the way we talk to each other.
Monday, July 20, 2020 Judge in Deutsche Bank Case is TerrorizedSHARE
Deutsche Bank was one of the places through which Jeffrey Epstein laundered his money. A shareholders suit is asking why Epstein was exempted from standard money-laundering safeguards. The judge assigned to the New York case was Esther Salas.
Yesterday, a man dressed in a FedEx uniform came to Salas's front door. He shot Salas's husband and murdered Salas's teenage son.
"Chief District Judge Freda Wolfson told the Associated Press they "really have no idea" if the shooting was linked to Salas' work or the political climate."
(7 comments) Friday, July 10, 2020 Who is Behind the Prosecution of Ghislaine?SHARE
Ghislaine Maxwell has it in her power to blackmail hundreds of the most powerful people in the world. Now she is behind bars, and so far she has not been suicided.
What's going on here?
The least credible scenario is that the US DoJ finally found its conscience, and is doing the right thing after sitting on the evidence for 24 years.
The most cynical scenario: It is too dangerous to too many people for Maxwell to be walking free, and she was arrested as part of a plan to murder her.
In between: Trump is sh*tting his pants because Maxwell could testify to his affairs with underage girls before the November election. Democrats have arranged for prosecutors to arrest Maxwell to embarrass Trump.
But, just as plausible: Trump feels that he has less to lose because his fan club already knows he's a misogynist. Trump arranged for the arrest of Epstein last year and Maxwell this year as a way to bring down his enemies.
Tuesday, July 7, 2020 NYTimes Announces that Iran has been Bombed, neglects to mention that Israel was the BomberSHARE
This NYTimes article talks about the damage Iran has suffered from a bomb at its atomic enrichment plant as if it were a stroke of luck or an act of God, rather than an act of war by Israel against its greatest regional rival power. Here is CodePink with a more truthful account. Another article from Middle East Monitor.
Friday, July 3, 2020 Judge Orders Jeffrey Epstein Accuser To Destroy FilesSHARE
Virginia Giuffre was, by her own account, one of the many girls that were kidnapped by Jeffrey Epstein's crew and held for years as a sex slave. She has brought a civil suit, claiming that Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, among others, had had sex with her.
Now the judge in that case has ordered Giuffre to destroy all documents that might implicate Dershowitz or that might support her case.
(4 comments) Tuesday, June 30, 2020 How Many Infants are Killed by Vaccines? A Natural ExperimentSHARE
This is a geeky article that only a numbers guy could love. But the take-home message is simple: vaccines are killing babies.
It's based on counts of US deaths released by CDC, together with age at death, comparing 2020 with past years.
First, the article shows the big spike in deaths overall.
Then, they demonstrate the focus of COVID in deaths of people over 65
Then comes the punch line: Deaths of infants under 1 year are way down.
Why might this be true? The authors note that well baby clinics are closed for COVID, and newborns are not receiving the course of vaccinations that have become standard in Western countries.
The question whether SIDS is related to vaccination has been hotly debated, and the reason there is no definitive answer is that it has been considered unethical to deprive a test group of babies of their vaccinations in order to test they hypothesis. Now the shut-down of health services for infants has provided a natural experiment.
COVID-19 is unique among recent pandemics in that the mortality toll is measurable, real and convincing. It is also nearly certain to be transitory, but that won’t stop the propaganda juggernaut from rolling forward. However, as the saying goes, “the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” What no one would have predicted in advance of COVID-19 is that the extreme lockdown response has produced a natural experiment that actually calls into question the very actions—widespread, mandated vaccines for all–that the infectious disease and public health community have been pushing for years. We should mourn the deaths of the elderly Manhattan nursing home residents but also take heed of the hundreds of avoided infant deaths. Only with that kind of balance will we draw the proper lessons from the pandemic and the lockdowns that have followed in its wake.
Death is the most dramatic, the worst, the easiest to count among the possible side effects of infant vaccination. How many infants are suffering lasting health or cognitive consequences from vaccination? The effects have been hard to separate out, because almost every newborn receives a full course of vaccinations. 31 vaccinations are now standard, most of them front-loaded in the first 18 months of life.
Some pediatricians have asked why we are vaccinating so early, before the immune system is well-formed, and cannot marshal a full response.
(8 comments) Sunday, June 28, 2020 Locking Down Didn't Save Lives--On the contrarySHARE
Comparing death rates from COVID in the 42 states that locked down with 8 states that did not lock down, this article finds that the death rates in locked down states was 4 times higher.
Of course, you should correct for urban vs rural & for demographic differences, but it's hard to imagine that this is going to reverse the overwhelming conclusion that not locking down produced better health outcomes.
The author concludes, "With the evidence coming in that the lockdowns were neither economically nor medically effective, it is going to be increasingly difficult for lockdown partisans to marshal the evidence to convince the public that isolating people, destroying businesses, and destroying social institutions was worth it."
But I wouldn't be so confident. This show has been more about PR and less about epidemiological science from the very beginning.

A Federal Judge ruled this week that the state of California may not require Monsanto to put health warning labels on glyphosate (Roundup) because this violates Monsanto's First Amendment guarantee of free speech. The fact that glyphosate causes cancer is immaterial. The state of California can't require Monsanto to "say" anything that the "person" called "Monsanto" doesn't want to say.
Of course, this is happening at the same time that free speech on the internet is being curtailed in the name of assuring that only "true" (meaning "sanctioned") ideas may be propagated.
Free speech is too dangerous for anyone who dissents over vaccines or lockdowns or "Russian interference". But Monsanto has a right to say or not to say whatever they want, even as its product is killing its customers.
(4 comments) Thursday, June 25, 2020 Avoiding the Epstein InvestigationSHARE
We can guess that many, many government officials, D & R, are eager to avoid a further investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, his empire, and his legacy. These people--including Presidents Trump and Clinton--were the ones in Epstein's black book, the ones on whom he acquired material for potential blackmail. But the top of the pyramid is in the Intelligence community which (according to Alex Acosta) employed Epstein as an asset. And they surely have the power and the motive to make sure the truth never to come to light.
Now that Epstein is (officially) dead, the prime witnesses who might unravel this scandal of scandals are Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew. The person pursuing the case was the US Attorney from New York, Geoffrey Berman. Last week, Berman was reported to have "resigned" until he called a press conference to say that he had every intention of staying in office and doing his job until he was forced out, after which The Donald forced him out. [Article in The Hill]
Ghislaine has been spotted in Paris. Andrew can't very well hide, and he is in London. Can we imagine that two such powerful people could ever be extradited to the US?

The Russian equivalent of our Homeland Security office has discovered that Microsoft Windows contains reporting modules that can allow people who know the code to remotely access their behaviors, their location, and their communications.
Russia has decided to purge the entire country of Microsoft products, using open source or native Russian coding for operating systems, and also for spreadsheets, databases, and word processing.
The report sets out Russia’s concerns: ‘The US, which presents itself as a bastion of democracy, has in fact been carrying out minute-by-minute surveillance of tens of millions of citizens of Russia and other countries.’
Tuesday, June 16, 2020 John Oliver gets Serious about Facial RecognitionSHARE
As always, he is John Oliver, irresistible, full of unexpected twists and turns, making you laugh despite yourself. In this video, he paints a vivid picture of the loss of privacy we will experience in a dystopian future that has already arrived. Clearview AI is a company that has downloaded and catalogued every photo on Facebook, Instagram, and Google Photos, and offers search services to any law enforcement official and several corporate giants interested in private security. I don't know if it's more frightening that they have a high rate of mis-identification rate, or that they are sometimes eerily accurate.
(33 comments) Friday, June 12, 2020 Major Gates Scandal, if ConfirmedSHARE
Until recently, most of us knew Bill Gates as the monopolist who used shady business practices to push the Windows operating system onto billions of computers worldwide, and to consolidate the largest purveyor of flawed and buggy software in the world.
Bill Gates has no medical background whatever, yet he has become a widely-quoted pundit, influencing policy on the COVID pandemic. He has talked about a (not yet invented) vaccine as if it is the only thing that can get justify re-opening the world economy. He has major investments in a company with a vaccine in development, which has received emergency $$ from the US government for "warp-speed" development--despite the fact that it obviously takes several years to know whether a vaccine has long-term side-effects.
The Gates Foundation sponsored a conference last October in which an epidemic suspiciously like COVID. Just a coincidence?
Many scientists, including 2 Nobel prizewinners, have analyzed the SARS-CoV-2 genome and concluded that it looks to be made in a laboratory. This perspective has been censored by medical journals and mainstream news sources alike.
The latest charge puts all this in perspective. It is explosive. Last summer, Gates attended a meeting with US Congressman Bobby Rush, negotiating for a $100 billion contract for "contact-tracing". Needless to say, the idea of "contact tracing" was nowhere in the public discourse, and the COVID virus was still 6 months in the future. Last month, Rep Rush introduced House Bill 6666, creating a system of contact tracing for the purpose of helping to stop spread of the Coronavirus.
(9 comments) Friday, June 12, 2020 A Nurse Testifies to Systematic Murder at Elmhurst HospitalSHARE
The eye-witness revelations of this brave woman are so shocking that their impact will take months or years for me to absorb. Patients who don't have COVID are being housed in the same room with patients who do, and they soon become COVID victims. Ventilators are being used to kill people, long after we know they don't save lives. Meanwhile, simple treatments that have worked well elsewhere (intravenous vit C, zinc + HCQ) have been withheld. People who are awake and alert are being put into comas with powerful narcotics, and 90% of them never wake up.
This is all on "orders from above". The system is fueled by over-worked, sleepless interns who are at the front lines of patient care, and by a medical budget that has starved public hospitals, then offered them huge incentives to diagnose "COVID" and treat with the most expensive protocols.
(3 comments) Wednesday, June 10, 2020 Twitter Censors MercolaSHARE
Knut Wittkowski, Ph.D., DSc, an epidemiologist and former head of biostatistics, epidemiology and research design at Rockefeller University, has also been widely censored. His video, in which he challenges the wisdom of lockdown orders, was removed by YouTube after garnering nearly 1.5 million views
YouTube’s CEO has gone on record saying they will censor anyone speaking against the World Health Organization. This despite the fact that WHO has been severely criticized for its handling of other pandemics, including the 2009 swine flu pandemic
YouTube has also been caught automatically deleting comments insulting the Chinese Communist Party
Twitter now falsely labels any and all Mercola article links as unsafe and malicious, warning potential readers my site might steal passwords and other personal data, or install malware on your computer — a tactic that decreases views by about 95%. This is absolutely false. On the contrary, my site is now set up to protect all readers from Google’s intrusive data mining

It's vicious and slanderous and unfair.
Besides, it's too close to reality to be funny.
(16 comments) Wednesday, June 10, 2020 Study Finds Masks Useless against COVIDSHARE
New findings, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, suggest that neither surgical nor cloth masks are at all effective in stopping the spread of SARS-CoV-2.
After analyzing the swabs, the researchers found particles of SARS-CoV-2 on the outsides of both types of mask, suggesting that neither type can contain the virus.
“Neither surgical nor cotton masks effectively filtered SARS–CoV-2 during coughs by infected patients,” the researchers write in their study paper.
“Prior evidence that surgical masks effectively filtered influenza virus informed recommendations that patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 should wear face masks to prevent transmission,” they explain.
The investigators conclude that surgical masks and reusable cloth masks are both “ineffective in preventing the dissemination of SARS-CoV-2.”
(1 comments) Monday, June 8, 2020 Fear in Minnesota (David Tilsen)SHARE
Friends on the ground in Minneapolis report that the protests have been eclipsed by people who have come in from outside to incite violence and destroy property. This is no longer a protest against police brutality or racism. But what is it? Who has hired these outsiders, who are obviously well-organized and probably well-payed to sow chaos?
"They are obviously professionals in urban warfare," claims the (black) Commissioner of Public Safety. Is this just an excuse for martial law?
What is clear is that the country is moving toward martial law, and there are some powerful people who are deliberately moving this along. They are using fear to get us to accept National Guard on city streets.
Everything else is muddy. Who are the good guys and the bad guys? We may never know. Legitimately angry citizens and agents provocateurs are side-by-side on the streets. Dedicated public servants and fascists in suits are side-by-side in the government.
My fear (JJM) is that the few who are organized and ruthless are better positioned to achieve their goals when the dust clears than the many who are good-hearted but don't have the organization or the information to shape events.
