News Briefs – 04/03/2022

Here are some news stories that might be of interest. Most articles will be more or less summarized in the headline. You can skim the headlines and summaries, and click the links if they are of interest. Keep in mind, many of these reports are products of an unreliable news media, so although they will be what people are hearing and talking about, there is no guarantee any one of them is necessarily correct, and we have had cases of outright lies make it onto these pages.

White House refuses to rule out a Joe Biden pardon for Hunter Biden.

Lots of discussions here almost a year ago, by a civilian Havana Syndrome victim whose entire company is being targeted, apparently by highly mobile teams, as discussion of covert directed energy warfare goes mainstream. These don’t make the news, despite being the biggest story in the world. Regular people just going about their lives are seeing the most amazing shit. His company is of some interest to Cabal, maybe in competition with a Cabal company, maybe developing some tech they don’t want developed, or something else. Note, way back when I first began talking about the vibrations, I noted they started hard after I drank some Pepsi with a  chemical taste, and over time got weaker. I have also discussed fluorescent lights that were turned off, flashing in my house when I walk into a room. This will not just be getting employed here. I will bet young athletes in college on track to go pro, suddenly get hit with this, young geniuses in school get taken down like this, young website operators who Cabal wants out of the arena get hit, and all throughout society it is used to move people, in and out of relationships, jobs, life-paths, homes, offices, and all over the game board, without anyone ever knowing what happened. May all that is hidden be revealed. Interesting blurbs from the link, consolidated (and I can vouch for the tech that makes people angry and argumentative):

The signal below was measured at our office in Zurich, Switzerland, by BAKOM, the communication authority. The signal correlates with our employees having migraine like headaches all at the same time. It also correlates with electronic devices being disrupted (fluorescent lamps flatter, printer restarts, door bell out of service, … )

Delta_f is about 12 MHz.

Anyone could tell what this signal might be???

The devices/events concerned are:

– Door Entry Phone: It is put out of service every time a disruption happens for 8-24 hours. Guests coming to meetings complained about ringing, but nobody opens.

– Printer restarts with no obvious cause, or needs to be calibrated for no reason

– Computer restarts with no obvious cause

– A neon lamp stutters but other times never

– Freshly bought milk goes bad within a couple of minutes

– Plants bought the same day, wither visibly within a couple of minutes, other plants bought together don’t – you could see it live in action – stunning.

– Two to Three employees from our finance department sitting near the devices, suddenly complain about a migraine like headache, fatigue and dizziness, and ask to leave, all at the same time.

– All these events happen at the exact same point in time, and at this point in time there is a peak in V/m

– This happened multiple times, not just at one location, but at 4 of our company locations.

We also found out that 9 of our employees were contaminated with heavy metals. Only the contaminated employees react to the signal below with migraine like headaches – all at the same time.

In the attachment you could see the effect on a mint plant. We placed a grid of multiple mint plants, separated by 1m each vertically and longitudinally at table height. Three plants were affected, all at the same time. They were on the same geometric line. Other plants were not affected, at all, and remained as is. The withering took 2mins. You could literally see it happen live while employees started complaining about sudden headaches, devices got disrupted. Stunning.

Because of this linear propagation we concluded it is directed RF/Microwaves.

A mint plant before disruption

A mint plant after disruption [ed note – It is heating the water inside them, like a microwave oven. I will bet, if you expose the surveillance and destroy this thing, cancer rates will collapse in our nations.]

It is worth mentioning, that depending on the signal shape and the frequency used, different biological effects are observed:

– sometimes it is heating that yields skin rashes, pale and dry facial skin, thirst, fatigue and dizziness, everyone near the signal is affected

– other times it is a punctual effect, it makes one cough, yields migraine like headaches that persists for days. We found that the persons sensitive to these types of signals were contaminated with heavy metals, mostly copper. It is stunning that other persons next to them do not feel any thing.

So if one thinks of the Havana syndrome, it is not just one thing. It seems to be a combination of issues that seem totally unrelated at first sight: (1) metal contamination that can be shown with DPMS, (2) Microwave RF radiation. But if you think of metals in the microwave, it starts making sense. There might be as well other factors at play.

According to our council, a former German Army officer with a PhD in RF technology, this type of weapons are anti-person weapons. Back then (2011) these weapons had the size of an attaché case. Today they are the size of an iPhone, according to what I observed. Almost all culprits had something the size of an iPhone, but 5 times thicker stuffed in their pockets. Some of them carried a bag along. This is for the attacks in person on the street. There are other types of attacks, from neighboring building, nearby, above or below. And there are attacks coming from 5G antennas.

There are basically different types of these weapons, small, big, pulsed, continuous, with different types of frequencies and effects: heat effect, migraine like headaches, dizziness, tiredness, they can even effect mood and cause conflicts during a gathering of people, etc.

Since you asked about frequencies, I am sending two Radman reads, one from yesterday with almost no signal, one from today small signal but constantly there, and today we all are feeling weak and tired. Any idea? Why was the signal not there yesterday. It wasn’t there in the morning, in the evening and during the day. Then the next day, the signal appeared as you can see, also in the evening. Any explanation? We are on vacation in a village near the mountains with a tiny population.

Then there is a waterfall frequency picture, a constant signal at 96MHz, measured with Anloag Pluto. I am guessing this the signal shown by the RadMan. What’s interesting the signal at 96 MHz disappeared after I started writing this post 🙂 Directed Energy Weapon? Who would dare to use something like this in a country like Switzerland, one of the most secure and secured in the world. Well probably the same question goes for Austria, who would dare to attack American Diplomats in Vienna?

Also I am attaching a patent of weapon manufacturer Raytheon (www.rtx.com) about an anti person RF weapon. This one has even an imager that can see through walls, the same way bags or persons are x-rayed at airports.

And here is a link about induction lenses that can direct RF waves into a laser like ray, used for satellite communication by the European Space Agency. No antenna needed.

The signal is some kind of an equally distributed frequency field ranging between 800 MHz and 6 GHz. BAKOM did not measure below 600 MHz. There is also a zoomed view of the signal.Our lawyer wrote a letter to BAKOM, the government frequency regulator. They replied in writing that they are not responsible for investigating events like this. We then called the BAKOM lawyer who signed the letter. She said she was a junior and was told to reply like that, asked us to contact her supervisor. Few hours later we had a call from the head legal council of BAKOM, same answer: “we are not responsible.” We are now pondering litigation. I was going to publish the letter here, but was told to wait for the lawyers to confirm it is a public document. So the moment they confirm, I will publish it.

We wrote a letter to the environmental protection agency in January. To this day, no answer.

We asked all 7 companies authorized by the government to do court proof RF measurements to help us, all of them replied with blatant excuses saying they don’t have the equipment to locate the senders. From an insider, I then heard that they all are equipped with the Narda Signal Shark. Also here we are pondering litigation.

By the way the signal seem to be following our people to their homes. Last Tuesday three of our employees called in sick with migraine. We have three doctor’s notes to confirm this. All three reported having suddenly felt very strong migraine like headaches around 7:30 am. That is definitely NOT what one would call a random event. We have three written testimonies along with the doctor’s notes and we are now preparing a legal suit against unknown for sabotage.

… we found other heavy metals in our employees: cadmium, mercury, lead in addition to copper and zinc.

Actress Mila Kunis has been a subject of discussion on Q’s board because of her support for Ukraine. It sparked my curiosity so I checked out her Infogalactic page. The interesting parts, followed by my observations in bold:

Milena Markovna Kunis was born into a Ukrainian Jewish family… in Chernivtsi, a city in the Ukrainian SSR of the Soviet Union (now Ukraine). [Ukraine was the major hub of Soviet military industry and manufacturing, with lots of important secrets and technologies there] Her mother, Elvira, is a physics teacher who runs a pharmacy, and her father, Mark Kunis, is a mechanical engineer who works as a cab driver. [A mechanical engineer in the Soviet Union, maybe at a defense company in the Ukraine with valuable secrets, but he picks up and leaves for the US with only $250, where he becomes a taxi-driver – a major surveillance position in Los Angeles, a town with a lot of people under surveillance.] … Her mother tongue and the common language within her family is Russian [Never recruited by intel despite perfect English, and a natural Russian speaker?]. She stated in 2011 that her parents had “amazing jobs”, and that she “was very lucky” and the family was “not poor”; they had decided to leave the Soviet Union because they saw “no future” there for Mila and her brother. In 1991, when she was 7 years old, her family moved to Los Angeles, California, with US$250. “That was all we were allowed to take with us. My parents had given up good jobs and degrees, which were not transferable. We arrived in New York on a Wednesday and by Friday morning my brother and I were at school in L.A.” [None spoke English, but in two days of arriving, they had a residence, and she was in school? That feels like some sort of organizational support had a plug and play life all set up for them.]

… On her second day in Los Angeles, Kunis was enrolled at Rosewood Elementary School, not knowing a word of English. She later recalled: “I blocked out second grade completely. I have no recollection of it…” [Little creepy. Makes you wonder if part of the deal was Dad would turn her over to the MK Ultra crew, so she could be programmed and sex-slaved out. Q said most or all of the Hollywood names had a past like that, and the star life was a payoff for keeping silent.]

In 2017, Kunis talked about her genealogical DNA test in an interview for the Israeli news website Ynet, and revealed that her ethnicity is 96% Ashkenazi Jewish.

At age nine, Kunis was enrolled by her father in acting classes after school at the Beverly Hills Studios, where she met Susan Curtis, who would become her manager. [On a taxi-driver salary?] On her first audition she landed the role for a Barbie commercial. Shortly after, she did a commercial for the Lisa Frank product line. Her first television roles took place in 1994, first appearing on Days of Our Lives, and a few months later doing her first of two appearances on Baywatch. She had a minor role on 7th Heaven and supporting roles in Santa with Muscles, Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves, and the Angelina Jolie film Gia, as the young Gia Carangi.

At the age of 10, Kunis unsuccessfully auditioned for the role of a Russian Jewish girl who moves to America in the film Make a Wish, Molly. Instead, she was cast in the secondary role of a Mexican girl. In 1998, Kunis was cast as Jackie Burkhart in the Fox sitcom That ’70s Show. All who auditioned were required to be at least 18 years old; Kunis, who was 14 at the time, told the casting directors she would be 18 but did not say when. Though they eventually figured it out, the producers still thought Kunis was the best fit for the role. That ’70s Show ran for eight seasons. She won two consecutive Young Star Awards as Best Young Actress in a Comedy TV Series in 1999 and 2000 for her performances. [Some people get all the breaks. Interesting too, in that she is not overly good-looking. You can bet in LA there were thousands of girls far prettier and more charming, looking for those same breaks, but they never came. How many young kids with promise and ability have thrown their lives away in Hollywood, chasing dreams that never had a chance. And Cabal probably loved seeing them neutered.]

Tommy Robinson was detained on arriving in Cancun, and was told the detention was for the United States.

Tennis world rocked as FIFTEEN “fully vaccinated” players were unable to finish the Miami Open.

The investigation into the police’s handling of the Rotherham grooming gang scandal, in which an estimated 1,400 young girls were sexually abused, has failed to impose any criminal penalties or see any officers fired for misconduct.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, the celebrity doctor running as a Republican in Pennsylvania’s 2022 U.S. Senate race, is accused of being a hypocrite after a reportedly lavish “$250,000-a-head fundraiser with [a] Clinton friend and Epstein associate” when he has attacked his most prominent opponent David McCormick for “taking money from [Democrats].”

Flashback eight years – Dozens of Disney workers arrested in ‘To Catch A Predator’-style child sex stings.

A Los Angeles judge has ruled that California’s landmark law mandating that corporate boards have ethnic or LGBT members violates the state Constitution.

Disney-branded hand sanitizers recalled after FDA detected carcinogens Benzene and Methanol.

The British government has reportedly approved the sale of the United Kingdom’s largest microchip factory to a firm owned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), despite concerns over national security.

A new report makes it look like in France, Cabal labeled itself a “consultancy,” and then billed the government billions of Euros in return for telling the government what to do.

101 police officers shot in line of duty, a 43% increase from 2021. A consciously produced effect.

Andrew Cuomo sues Albany ethics commission in attempt to keep $5M book profits.  

New vehicles in the U.S. must average 40 mpg by 2026, up from 28 mpg. Reuters says it is actually 49 mpg. NHTSA appears to say the final rule is 49.

Joe Rogan shocked to find out the Big Pharma percentage of TV advertising is 75%. Big pharma is funding the Mockingbird media operation for Cabal. No wonder it is so important to them. No wonder the civilian network is embedded to heavily throughout the medical field.

Frontline doctor says fetal deaths up nearly 2,000 percent since COVID jab rollout.

The president of Finland, which borders Russia, has claimed that the widespread support for NATO membership expressed in recent opinion polls could pave the way for joining the US-led military bloc without a referendum.

Russia responded to Ukraine’s chopper attack on an oil depot inside Russia by conducting a strike on Ukraine’s only oil refinery plant – which is owned by corrupt Israeli-Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomoisky.

The head of Russia’s space agency says it is suspending ISS cooperation with NASA and the European Space Agency amid Western sanctions.

Russia indicated that draft peace treaty documents were at an advanced enough stage to allow for Zelensky-Putin talks. This might support the theory Zelensky had a problem with Nazis and he could not take them out himself without risking them fighting back and taking over, so he made a deal with Putin to take them out like this. There is no reason for Putin to not roll into Kiev and kill everyone and install his own government.

“Actress Mila Kunis”

She is not the only ex-Soviet who had it on easy street somehow, the AT&T girl, Milana Vayntrub is very similar. Jewish or “Jewish”, from the USSR and radically liberal in the US, contributing to the constant subversion (and inevitable collapse) of the USA.

It’s not just that, but they can control who lives or dies. Not only is it extremely lucrative but it’s control all the way down to the Wahlgreens pharmacist level. You go to pick up a prescription and you get a mystery dose of some “undiscovered” chemical that no forensic lab would ever pick up. They even have little bags of medicines waiting for each customer with an active prescription with them so it’s very easy to target specific people for termination or even just experimentation. It’s full control- it basically puts “free” people into a zoo.

> There is a high probability you will not need to be reliant on anything. People do not understand how similar humans are to each other, and how we have evolved to self-balance. If you get balanced, you should not need anything. Do not assume unbalanced is a natural state, and to be expected, and you constantly need to add things and patch stuff up with bandaids just to be functional. For millions of years those people were culled. What is left will tend toward balance, especially if you use TCM to get yourself on point.

This seems to make sense, especially as a lot of people I know don’t seem to understand or believe my health issues.

But then again, it seems common in modern society to have illnesses(vaccines probably being the main contributor). According to RFK, 54% of children in American nowadays have 1+ chronic health condition, and being screwed up is a relatively common thing that I hear “spoon theory” a decent amount. Plus plenty of people with chronic fatigue, and something like alpha gal makes people allergic to meat, and all sorts of stuff nowadays. Obviously people are very sick and at least a good chunk are probably trying a whole bunch of shit to get better.

Human beings have lived without supplements for millions of years in our natural habitat. The way we live today is unnatural, which is why we need supplements. If I was out tilling my farm all day instead of sitting at a computer, I wouldn’t need Vit D. If I was drinking unfiltered spring water, I wouldn’t need zinc and magnesium.
When the collapse comes, you won’t be able to get supplements, but you also won’t need them anymore.

The British government has reportedly approved the sale of the United Kingdom’s largest microchip factory to a firm owned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), despite concerns over national security.

See it’s stuff like that that makes me not trust the Chinese. Just like with the Bush family still getting deals and money from the PRC, if Cabal and China were really at war, then Cabal would not be selling chipfabs and access to China right now. It would ensure a Chinese victory, and with Cabal locked out of China that means a Cabal defeat. Cabal is the empire that never ends, so how do you think it never ends? Not by purposefully defeating itself, unless it wants us to think so because it’s done that before.

The PRC definitely has a lower Cabal pop % than the US, but they are not free from Cabal. Cabal is likely still in it’s hiding/pre-emergence phase there and after the USA is done and gone China will go r-selective and Cabal will ride the r-wave to gain (or regain) full control within a generation. Just like the USA in the 1960’s.

Most likely is that Cabal runs the Jews and China is at war with the Jews. Just because the Jewish “elders of Wye” get locked out of China doesn’t mean that Cabal is. In all likelihood Cabal already got it’s little eggs into China sometime before when Bush Sr. visited, (probably with Mao). The “elders of Wye” were just cover and/or fall guys. Similar to the British Empire, Nazi Germany and USSR but just more hidden this time.

Henry Makow linked a book that describes how “communist” Jews came in and helped Mao set things up at least initially. I’m willing to bet Cabal has back doors set up going back generations in the PRC. Putin purged much of Cabal when he cleared out the oligarchs. China has never purged much of those initial elements. Everyone in CCP leadership has ties going back to the original revolution; coincidence?
I personally think the Chinese are a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The Social Credit system Ukraine just enacted originated in China. The Chinese are deeply in bed with the US political establishment. From Cocaine Mitch’s wife to Hunter’s Rosemont Seneca to Clinton campaign cash for Loral contractors and missile tech the evidence exists that the Chinese are at least in on some of the shenanigans.

China has one of the oldest systems of Totalitarianism going back to Shang Yang:
The capacity for direct rule, in particular, facilitated the institutions of household registration, mutual surveillance, and collective responsibility. The Qin state would atomize the people by holding individuals collectively responsible for crimes committed by relatives and neighbors and by encouraging them to report on one another with handsome rewards. By destroying the fabrics of family and society, the Qin state could dominate the society with little recourse to the actual use of force.
Even under circumstances of extreme domination in which active resistance is guaranteed to face suppression, disgruntled populations may engage in “disguised, undeclared resistance.” For example, peasants may resort to “weapons of the weak” by delivering inferior crops in paying land tax, shirking labor in performing corvée, and fighting halfheartedly on the battlefield. If enough peasants take part in such foot-dragging activities “the aggregation of thousands upon thousands of such ‘petty’ acts of resistance [has] dramatic economic and political effects.” Thus, no matter how weighty the Qin legal code was as written, one should expect serious limits to its implementation.
Shang Yang and other statecraft specialists in the Warring States era apparently understood these interrelated problems and found solutions for them. The most fundamental issue is that resistance whether open or disguised, declared or undeclared – must rest with dense social networks. If peasants are bound by communal land use and are connected to local and regional magnates with some independent resource bases, then collective actions are more likely. When such conditions are not available, resistance is far less likely. As Karen Barkey observes of the Ottoman Empire, the answer to “the puzzle of the missing rebellions to Ottoman rule” lies with the “relative barrenness” of the social structure.
Similarly, Chinese society is often characterized as “a loose tray of sand.” This was not originally the case in the Spring and Autumn period, when state power was weak and social structure was strong. Hence,the Chunqiu and Zuo zhuan record many rebellions. By the Warring States period, however, states developed the capacity to destroy intermediate power holders and penetrate the society.
The system of household farming further broke down extended lineages into nuclear families. Shang Yang even prohibited fathers and adult sons from living under one roof. As peasants in the Warring States era had little protection from social structures, they were more amenable to control from above. Probably reflecting this phenomenon, classical texts of the Warring States period are notably silent on peasant rebellions.
But Shang Yang was not content with the mere absence of active resistance. In the passage “Weakening the People,” the Shang jun shu argues that “a country which has the right way is concerned with weakening the people” because “a weak people means a strong state and a strong state means a weak people.” Shang Yang wanted to create “a condition of complete good government” in which “husband and wife and friends cannot abandon each other’s evil, cover up wrongdoing and not cause harm to relatives, nor can…the people mutually conceal each other from their superiors and government servants.”
To achieve this goal, the Qin state introduced mutual surveillance so that “those whose businesses were connected should have different interests.” Based on the household registration system, the Qin state held households of five collectively responsible for any member’s transgressions; at the same time, the state offered handsome rewards for family members and neighbors to report on one another. Shang Yang applied the same technique to state officials who were in charge of overseeing the people. While the stated goal of linked liability was to create a condition in which “deserters from the ranks[had] no resort and stragglers [had] nowhere to go,” the actual consequence was far more penetrating. By instilling mutual mistrust in the most basic social ties – between husband and wife in the family, between neighbors in the local community, and between colleagues in the workplace – even the mildest dissent could be nipped in the bud. By fashioning “a people who would of their own accord enforce the legal dictates of their masters,”
the Qin court could simultaneously maximize surveillance, minimize resistance, and lower the costs of domination. In short, Shang Yang achieved “the ultimate dream of domination: to have the dominated exploit each other.”
Of course the Qin gave temporary property rights to subjects in order to win.
Although the Qin state eroded the bargain of freedom of expression, it enhanced that of material welfare. Similarly to other states in the ancient Chinese system, the Qin state made land grants to peasants in exchange for military service, land tax, and corvée. Although state extractions were heavy, they were tied to peasants’ ability to pay. 106 Moreover, the state actively promoted agricultural productivity by sponsoring irrigation projects and providing farm tools and other forms of technical assistance. Such welfare measures generated not only fuguo (economic wealth),but also compliance. As Joel Migdal points out, societal actors are likely to grant obedience and conformity to the state if they “see the state as a large piece of their personal life puzzles.” 107 Because Qin’s peasants owed their lands and livelihood ultimately to the state, they had little ground to resist state extraction.
Because peasants could treat land grants as de facto private properties and pass them on to descendants, they were more content with being tied to the soil. Because peasants could generally maintain subsistence, they had little reason to stage food riots, which were common in early modern Europe. 
Moreover, although the Qin state wielded the stick of harsh punishments for transgressions, it also offered the carrot of lucrative rewards for contributions. To motivate popular support for war further, the court systematically ranked the whole adult male population on the basis of military distinctions and assigned social status and allocated lands accordingly. Qin’s stunning military victories, in turn, helped to justify heavy extraction and loss of personal freedom.
Qin’s form of domination was successful also because it did not offend peasants’ standards of justice.
After unification in 221 bc, the First Emperor no longer needed the subjects’ active support. As a result, he abandoned Shang Yang’s bargains of social welfare and legal justice and heightened extractions and punishments. In place of the tight state-society partnership that preceded unification, the imperial court entered into a state of war with the society.

China initiated the lockdowns.
China collaborated with the western cabal to create the virus (or the virus hoax, which ever you believe) in the first place and to spread it all over the world.
China used its control of the WHO to spread lockdowns and jab mandates.
China continues to lockdown its citizens and jab them with shots that are just as deadly as those used in the west.
China had a major hand in stealing the 2020 election to get rid of Trump in order to clear the way for the Great Reset agenda and prevent America from befriending Russia. (China doesn’t want Russia to have any other options than China)
China continues to use its power and influence in Hellywierd, Big Tech, and the western MSM to undermine the good, the beautiful, and the true in the west.
China seeks control of and abuses globalist institutions like the WHO and Interpol.
China supports the satanic left politicians, parties, and movements in every western country and is supported by them in turn.
China is building a military large enough to dominate the world and seeking military bases around the world.
China supports and works with every corrupt cabal owned nation in the world including Israel, N. Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Turkey, Cuba, Ukraine, the Vatican and many others.
China pioneered the social credit system that is being used as the basis for vaxx passports and the rest of the Great Reset agenda.
China suppresses religion, especially Christianity, that doesn’t bow down and worship the party.
Churches that do bend the knee to the party are required to use altered scriptures that preach communist propaganda.
China continues to destroy its own environment and steal other nations resources to compensate.
(Examples are their pirate fishing fleets depleting the high seas and even the territorial waters of other nations of fish and the theft and militarization of the S. China sea)
China’s corruption is creating the biggest economic bubble in history and is teetering on the brink of the world’s biggest collapse with the Evergrande/Real Estate crisis.
Along with many other famous corruption scandals.
China under Xi is turning back to Mao’s communism which was a creation of the satanic western cabal.
China is trying to pioneer the creation of digital currency controlled by the government to further rob and tyrannize its subjects. (including an expiration date on the money to force people to not keep any savings)
(Pioneering the Mark of the Beast system)
China is a center of human trafficking, slave labor (in work camps or just through the 9,9,6 economy) and every other black market evil.

Florida Governor calls for Special Session; supports Constitutional Carry.

Nice. Meanwhile the Alabama senate race is all screwed up (again), Mo Brooks went soft on voting security/assurance and Mike Durant couldn’t figure it out until recently- and Durant wanted to disarm the public back in 2011. That’s two defective candidates right there.

Scott Stone, a spokesman for the Durant campaign, offered the following statement to Breitbart News on Saturday afternoon in response to a query about the 2011 remarks:

“With new public polls every week confirming the grassroots surge for Mike Durant, it’s no surprise that the career politicians would come up with a new outlandish lie about Mike,” Stone said. “This is a ridiculous fabrication and mischaracterization of a speech Mike Durant gave hundreds of times over the last 20 years about military strategy. No candidate in this race has seen the things Mike Durant has in his life and no one will be a tougher defender of the 2nd Amendment than him.”

“I’ll bet as the Misery Index climbs, we will see massive numbers of gays turn straight, and trans de-transition.”

True, and in about 10 years we will see an explosion of budding young serial killers as the children being manipulated into being trans realize what was done to them.

I expect to see many reports of mutilated virtue signaling parents found in garage chest freezers around that time.

Wasn’t there a flap about benzine-contaminated sanitizers last year?

BTW, while benzine is one of the worst carcinogens around, methanol is not a carcinogen, and it’s a common component of hand sanitizers since it doesn’t requite jumping through the regulatory (ATF) hoops needed to use ethyl alcohol.

That’s a Gab link. I’d never clicked on one before; in the early days Gab required a login to see anything, and repeated attempts to sign up were unsuccessful.

>The head of Russia’s space agency says it is suspending ISS cooperation with NASA and the European Space Agency amid Western sanctions.

Good for them.

NASA had the money to build our own space station, but by the time they got done frittering it away, all they could afford was a time-share on the Russian one. Then when they shut the (bloated, overpriced) Shuttle program down, we had to depend on Russian rockets to even get there, until private-sector rockets became available recently.

To top it off, NASA’s PR people have spun the agency’s long string of abject failures as “international cooperation.” Well done, NASA!

Kit Knightly in the Off Guardian argues that the target of the sanctions on Russia is the United States and its NATO allies, not Russia:

https://off-guardian.org/2022/03/30/is-russia-the-real-target-of-western-sanctions/

In effect the United States is sanctioning itself.

Its actually a brilliant play. Knightly argues that the sanctions on Russia are all on things Russia exports, and often to non-NATO countries. So Russia both produces enough of what is being sanctioned domestically, and also has alternative export markets. Meanwhile the USA and Europe are denying to themselves things like natural gas they would normally import from Russia, causing real damage to their economies.

So with the COVID psyop that suddenly got lifted, it was just announced (by the cabal through its puppets) that there was this plague emerging from China, and the United States and Europe had to shut down large parts of their economy and restrict freedom of movement for their own citizens, to combat the plague, and it seems the virus wasn’t a big deal or didn’t exist at all, and in any case experts had agreed that destroying a large part of your own economy was a bad way to combat a plague.

Then there is this war in Ukraine, that we are supposed to care enough about to destroy lots of economic activity in Europe and the USA, and probably another assault on individual liberties are coming. There are legitimate questions as to why western elites are doing this to their own countries, and why the Chinese and Russian governments are playing along with their assigned roles as the villains. One explanation is that the Cabal just controls everything, around the world, but then presumably they wouldn’t need to be using these psychological tricks.

I am coming to the conclusion that this is the most likely scenario.
Globalists have been very open about reducing the U.S. to third world status. The have talked about it explicitly for years.
30 years of open immigration from the third world, combined with a deliberate campaign of social and cultural demoralization, has resulted in a very compromised and dis united population.
The Covid Op was a direct attack on representative government, and our national and local economies.
The stats tell us that at some point during 2020/2021, more than 50% of the working class in the U.S. was unemployed. Many of them were only unemployed for a few weeks, but many millions were out of work for many months.
All of this was deliberate. The Cabal that runs the U.S. and Western Europe used Covid to normalize totalitarian edicts, as well as softening up the population with vaccine passports in several of our largest cities. They used vaccination status to pit one half of the population against the other. Millions of people had their families torn apart by this insanity.
Next up, the sanctions against Russia are actually going to further decimate the U.S. and Western Europe. Significant price increases across the board will be another punch in the gut for the working and middle classes, with no end in sight.
All of this is by design. The globalists want a transnational digital currency, and the only way they get it is by killing the U.S. dollar, which they are doing right now. They are accelerating their plans.
Russia is playing its part, because the sanctions are clearly not going to hurt them directly.
China, which has had its economy boosted by western tech and industrial transfers for decades, is also playing its part, providing a template for social credit scores and a captive population.
At this point, I sincerely think much of what we are seeing geopolitically is kayfabe.
I really hope I’m wrong, but Cabal has wargamed these scenarios out to the finest detail, and the Covid Op, and how quickly they shifted gears to the Ukraine Op, and Cabal’s open plans to kill the dollar, should be proof enough that we are in deep shit.
Cabal is pedal to the metal right now, no hold barred.

I may be late to this, so apologies to you and the commenters if you already noted the possible link between Q references to the Storm and the Bible: came across Jeremiah 23:19 (NIV version) today and read this: “See, the storm of the LORD will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down on the heads of the wicked.”

No idea if Q references to the Storm are Biblical in nature, but interesting. If the USA could go into the doghouse for 70 years but then re-join the ranks of a Christian country, I would welcome the Storm with open arms.

Also interesting, in “Monsters, Inc.” they refer to code 23-19 every time an article of clothing from a child is transferred to the world of the Monsters. The Monster version of the CDC freaks out every time it happens as if it might cause a nuclear explosion. Might be no relation to Jeremiah, but interesting coincidence.

I sometimes check on on Philip Greenspun’s blog, and today he has two items that dovetail with the content here.

The first contains the datapoint that diversity consultants at universities now make between $330 K and $420 K in salary. That is in big conference football coach territory, and raises the question of what these people are actually doing for their salary, if its not just money laundering.

The second is a ways down, so I’ll just provide the link:

https://philip.greenspun.com/blog/2022/04/01/would-hunter-biden-have-sent-his-failed-hard-drive-back-to-seagate/#comments

Greenspun is the first blogger that I have seen to address the issue of why Hunter Biden’s computer was found in an ordinary computer repair shop in Delaware. This always seemed suspicious to me, and I was assuming it was planted there, or actually made its way to Giuliani by some other method and the repair shop was a cover story, or the whole thing is a setup.

But Greenspun provides an argument that the thing might actually have been found by some random IT guy after all. He points out that, for some reason, its getting harder to physically take computer and computer related equipment physically to a repair shop you trusted. You usually have to mail it to some address that is barely better than a PO Box. I did successfully take a computer to a physical computer repair shop last year (little data on the computer, and nothing I cared about), but it was difficult, and I am finding no success now trying to do the same with a cheap home printer.

So the computer could have been mailed in for repair, likely by some staffer who didn’t know what was on it, then assigned and mailed to a physical repair place in Delaware.

While I lean toward technology being the culprit (especially with the line of plants and the heavy metals), I am curious whether Havana syndrome might be caused by psychic vibration or mental influence.
I used to think that was crazy talk, but then I remembered that Pharaoh’s magicians turned their staves into snakes like Moses did, turned water into blood, and conjured a plague of frogs… and I realized I don’t really know anything about the occult and should be more open-minded.
I have been reading a survivor’s story of being trained by the military in this occult methodology. It takes a person of very strong will to accomplish. At first they are trained to strongly focus via visualization a single object. Eventually they can amplify this to manipulate objects, individuals and crowds.
In this instance, if specific people were being targeted, the psychic would need personal items of those people, which you could grab off someone’s desk. The focus can be put on a number of people at the same time. Proximity increases amplification, so it would need to be someone nearby.
The psychic wouldn’t need much, just a little time to concentrate. A “janitor” could take a bathroom break and get it done. In a large building, you could be on a neighboring floor, or across the street, etc. No weird electronic equipment needed, so the psychic couldn’t be caught.

Huh. The “progressive” elementary school I went to in California in the 1960s gave me almost every intelligence or aptitude test known, but I don’t remember them using the Zenner cards. But we moved a couple of times, and I might have slipped through the cracks.

They were doing data collection back then, too. They wanted to know about our parents and all the members of the family. They weren’t specific, and I was only in the first grade… the next day, TWO stern state employees showed up with fancy ID cards, demanding to know why Emily wasn’t registered and in school. They were insistent enough that my Mom locked Emily in the bedroom because she was getting excited, and called Dad, who came home and insisted they explain themselves.

I got a talking-to later, but as far as I was concerned Emily had always been part of the family. If anyone had hinted that it mattered, I would have volunteered that she was a dog.

There’s protocols to pull metal ions out of your body. Conveniently enough, they mostly look like peasant food from smelting regions around the world. Cilantro in salsa over beans, is the South American version. Cilantro pulls mercury, the salsa does something intestinal, the beans hold the chelated out minerals, until everything gets out. Vietnamese food has a similar sort of thing- cilantro, onions and cabbage and bean paste. Meditteranean cilantro, chickpeas, green veggies.
The other strong greens- parsley, basil, mint- take other metals. There’s a mid-eastern salad of all of the greens, to be eaten with chickpeas and cucumber, I think? I don’t know. Calorie wise, it’s a wash, very few calories, but very useful.
You don’t want to do the American thing of concentrated oil, like, concentrated cilantro oil, because it pulls a lot out, but not safely.
It’s not ideal, but it’s a pleasant line of defense, possibly.

Bentonite(sp?) clay baths also supposedly do this through the skin. I’ve only ever used it as a poultice for skin issues but it worked wonders.

As for the foods, the whole product is always best. America forgot this in our industrial climb. It is hard to adulterate whole ingredients. Oregano also has some decent detox properties. I find it impressive how wholesome the typical Italian herbal mix is when made from fresh herbs.

Thanks for the DEW article, AC. It was a fascinating read.

If I can figure out how to do it, I’ll post some pictures of 5G towers. Most are mounted on top of municipal lampposts in urban areas. In more rural areas, they’re mounted to their own utility pole which makes me think that they’re sensitive to the EMF produced by power on a joint-use pole (primary voltages run around 30 kV). Areas with buried plant, the towers stick out like a sore thumb. The usual arrangement is 3 antennae covering 120 degrees each. Some units are broken into 3 further sub-antennae. I now wonder if they can be micro adjusted to focus on specific locations. 5G home services require the antenna for the router be on a window. Combined with cell phone location data and now home network information, things/people can be precisely located and targeted.

In regards to the three antenna, that’s the general minimum number required to triangulate a distance. Could be the designed purpose of the 3 and 3 design, to allow each antenna to emit a specific frequency at a specific power to triangulate in on a given position within range, delivering targeted effects.

I am not familiar enough with this, but a friend who knows a bit more about cars was saying something about the MPG regulations. Basically, its about the whole fleet of models averaged. So to get your big trucks with 15mpg you need to pair them with other models that are 40mpg or something like that to work the average out to 32 or whatever it is. But you have to make the vehicles with some specs so that all the models in that fleet could be called “trucks” with respect to the regulations. He was saying thats why their aren’t too many super efficient compacts because they can’t be called trucks to help that average. Its also I guess why everything looks exactly the same with these suvs et al. They all have to have certain dimensions etc to fit into the category. So the regs are just worked around through loopholes, and variety is severely stunted. And also CO2 doesn’t matter anyway. That is if his description was correct, I haven’t verified this and I don’t care enough about cars in general to find out.

Yes, Federal regs have screwed up what auto designers can create, which is why all the cars look alike now compared to the 50’s or 60’s. Side impact requirements require the beltline to be raised, fuel economy, airbags, etc. Eric Peters has been writing about this stuff for many years. What started as sensible seatbelt and lighting regs has been corrupted completely like everything else. Fleet averages aren’t going to help when more people are buying trucks than econoboxes. That’s why you’re now seeing trucks coming with hybrid systems and electric trucks (damn the utility) are in the pipeline.
