thewakingtimes--2020-07-08--Vaccine Bait & Switch: As Millions Pulled From WHO, Trump Gives Billions To Gates-Founded GAVI

Vaccine Bait & Switch : As Millions Pulled From WHO , Trump Gives Billions To Gates-Founded GAVI In mid-May US President Donald Trump announced that the US would be ending their financial support for the World Health Organization ( WHO ) and COVID-19 relief .
The move was lambasted in the mainstream press as an out of touch politician pulling funding from a vital global health organization during the middle of a pandemic .
To Trump ’ s supporters the decision was met with the typical cheering and celebrated as another Trump victory against the “ globalists.
” To understand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to examine Donald Trump ’ s actions , not his tweets or media statements .
Let us start by looking at the funding provided by the US government to the WHO in previous years .
The latest numbers from fiscal year 2018 ( numbers are not available for 2019-20 ) show an estimated $ 281.6 million to the WHO from the US .
The records indicate that after the US government , the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and GAVI , the Vaccine Alliance , are the 2nd and 3rd top financiers of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ WHO actually tightens the technocrats already firm grip on another global institution .
This means when Donald Trump stated the US will no longer fund the WHO , the Gates Foundation and GAVI stepped into the top financial role .
Additionally , GAVI was founded by and largely funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2000 .
Either way , Bill Gates is the top donor and will continue to expand his influence and dominance of global health policy .
As reported in Part 2 of my Bill Gates investigation , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Foundation launched the “ Decade of Vaccines ” and called for a “ Global Vaccine Action Plan.
” Since that time they have only grown their network and influence on WHO , GAVI and other organizations in order to shape public health policy in a way that reaps profits for the Gates themselves .
While Trump ’ s supporters viewed the US withdrawal from WHO financing as a win for nationalism or a black eye to the globalists , the truth is a bit more nuanced .
In early June , the Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tune of a $ 1.16 billion USD donation .
Trump ’ s support for GAVI came via the first ever virtual Global Vaccine Summit .
At this summit GAVI surpassed the goal of $ 7.4 billion , instead raising $ 8.8 billion USD and securing commitments from most major nations around the world .
GAVI even received a $ 5 million dollar donation from the Rockefeller Foundation .
GAVI stated that the funding will go to “ routine immunization programs ” and will also help the public-private partnership “ play a major role @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine.
” More than 25 heads of state and 50 leaders of international agencies , NGOs and private industry attended the fundraising event .
Participants included Germany ’ s Chancellor Angela Merkel , UN Secretary General António Guterres , European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen , and World Health Organization Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus .
UN Secretary Guterres stated that the vaccine would not be enough and instead called for “ global solidarity…to ensure that every person everywhere gets access to the vaccine.
” Guterres also noted that “ our individual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It was at this Global Vaccine Summit where a pre-recorded message from Donald Trump was played .
In his video statement Trump said UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson asked him to record a message .
Trump ’ s support for GAVI was echoed on the Twitter account for the United States Agency for International Development ( USAID ) .
“ USAID echo ’ s @ Realdonaldtrump ‘ s words and is proud to be partnering with @ Gavi by committing $ 1.16 billion to protect people through vaccines , because # VaccinesWork , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should be noted that USAID has also been accused of creating fake social media networks in an attempt to foment unrest in foreign nations . )
It was actually USAID who first announced the pledge of US $ 1.16 billion in February .
The Trump administration included that $ 1.16 commitment as part of the budget for Fiscal Years 2020-2023 .
The budget for Fiscal Year 2021 included $ 290 million for GAVI .
Remember that the records from fiscal year 2018 show an estimated $ 281.6 million to the WHO from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ announcement of an initial $ 290 million investment easily surpassed the US investment in the WHO .
Over the next three years the US will give more than $ 800 million to GAVI for their vaccination programs .
Once again , this puts Bill Gates and his organizations at the top of the global health pyramid .
So what did Mr. Gates have to say about the success of the Global Vaccine Summit ?
The Trump administration ’ s support for the development of vaccines to fight COVID-19 is also visible in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Citizen and the European Commission .
On June 27 , Global Citizen hosted the “ Global Goal : Unite for Our Future – The Concert ” which was supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies , Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation , Wellcome Trust , and Corporate Partners Citi , Procter & Gamble , SAP , Verizon and Vodafone .
Once again , the funds raised at the event went to the Gates-founded GAVI .
At a May 2020 virtual summit , also organized by the European Commission , the Trump administration committed to giving another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ humanitarian , economic and development aid for governments , international organizations and charities fighting the pandemic .
At this same event the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation contributed $ 125 million .
Taken together – the May payment of $ 775 million ; the early June announcement of $ 1.16 billion ; and the late June gift of $ 545 million – these taxpayer funded investments will provide abundant resources for GAVI , and subsequently , the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation .
These funds easily outweigh the paltry $ 281.6 million the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It is important to understand that the WHO is a part of the United Nations , which itself is an “ intergovernmental organization ” that is attempting to replace nation-states as we know them today in favor of global governance schemes .
GAVI is a “ public-private partnership ” where governmental bodies and private organizations partner up to provide some sort of public service .
Neither of these organizations has been elected by the free people of the nations in which they operate .
Despite this fact , the Trump administration is continuing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doing so , furthering Bill Gates ’ goal to vaccinate 7 billion people .
Trump may have pulled funds from the WHO , but that decision allows Gates to take full control of WHO policy and continue to use US taxpayer dollars to fund vaccine projects , including a rushed vaccine for COVID-19 .
This was likely the plan the whole time .
As we have clearly demonstrated in previous reports , Gates has an outsized influence on the COVID-19 recovery and global health in general .
A 2015 report titled , Philanthropic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ agenda ?
, examines the influence of global philanthropy and provides examples of the undue influence Gates and others can wield .
The report noted that researchers have been critical of GAVI for following a “ Gates-approach ” on global health challenges , “ focusing on disease-specific vertical health interventions ( through vaccines ) , instead of horizontal and holistic approaches ( e.g.
, health system strengthening ) .
” Further , in May 2019 , Gavi CEO Seth Berkley referred to “ anti-vaccine sentiment ” as a disease that needs to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s statements are perfectly in line with Bill Gates ’ vision and the larger agenda of eugenics .
The public can not be allowed to question the safety of vaccines — no matter how rushed they are .
This is why the Trump administration appointed a Big Pharma lackey to head “ Operation Warp Speed , ” Trump ’ s plan to fast track the development of vaccines for COVID-19 .
In May , Trump appointed Moncef Slaoui , a former executive with vaccine manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline , to serve in a volunteer position @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the commander of United States Army Materiel Command .
According to the Trump administration , Operation Warp Speed program is focusing on four vaccines , with the hopes of testing and producing 100 million doses by October 2020 , 200 million by December , and 300 million doses by January .
Slaoui has said he believes the goal of vaccines by January 2021 is a “ credible goal.
” Once again , Gates ’ fingerprints are all over the situation .
Slaoui himself has a long history with the Bill and Melinda @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of companies that are connected to the organization .
It appears that despite the public pronouncements of divesting from the WHO or tweets about standing up to the globalists , the Trump administration continues to push the agenda to vaccinate every person on the planet .

Vaccine Bait & Switch: As Millions Pulled From WHO, Trump Gives Billions To Gates-Founded GAVI
Derrick Broze, Guest
Waking Times
In mid-May US President Donald Trump announced that the US would be ending their financial support for the World Health Organization (WHO) and COVID-19 relief. The move was lambasted in the mainstream press as an out of touch politician pulling funding from a vital global health organization during the middle of a pandemic. To Trump’s supporters the decision was met with the typical cheering and celebrated as another Trump victory against the “globalists.” To understand what is actually going on we need to examine Donald Trump’s actions, not his tweets or media statements.
Let us start by looking at the funding provided by the US government to the WHO in previous years. The latest numbers from fiscal year 2018 (numbers are not available for 2019-20) show an estimated $281.6 million to the WHO from the US. The records indicate that after the US government, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance, are the 2nd and 3rd top financiers of the WHO. The US defunding the WHO actually tightens the technocrats already firm grip on another global institution.
This means when Donald Trump stated the US will no longer fund the WHO, the Gates Foundation and GAVI stepped into the top financial role. Additionally, GAVI was founded by and largely funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2000. Either way, Bill Gates is the top donor and will continue to expand his influence and dominance of global health policy. As reported in Part 2 of my Bill Gates investigation, in 2010 the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation launched the “Decade of Vaccines” and called for a “Global Vaccine Action Plan.” Since that time they have only grown their network and influence on WHO, GAVI and other organizations in order to shape public health policy in a way that reaps profits for the Gates themselves.
While Trump’s supporters viewed the US withdrawal from WHO financing as a win for nationalism or a black eye to the globalists, the truth is a bit more nuanced.
In early June, the Trump administration declared support for GAVI to the tune of a $1.16 billion USD donation. Trump’s support for GAVI came via the first ever virtual Global Vaccine Summit. At this summit GAVI surpassed the goal of $7.4 billion, instead raising $8.8 billion USD and securing commitments from most major nations around the world. GAVI even received a $5 million dollar donation from the Rockefeller Foundation. GAVI stated that the funding will go to “routine immunization programs” and will also help the public-private partnership “play a major role in the rollout of a future Covid-19 vaccine.”
More than 25 heads of state and 50 leaders of international agencies, NGOs and private industry attended the fundraising event. Participants included Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel, UN Secretary General António Guterres, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and World Health Organization Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
UN Secretary Guterres stated that the vaccine would not be enough and instead called for “global solidarity…to ensure that every person everywhere gets access to the vaccine.” Guterres also noted that “our individual health depends on our collective health.”
Donald Trump, GAVI, and Bill Gates
It was at this Global Vaccine Summit where a pre-recorded message from Donald Trump was played. In his video statement Trump said UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson asked him to record a message.
During his short speech, Donald Trump stated, “It’s great to be partnering with you. We will work hard, we will work strong.” Trump also called COVID-19 “mean” and “nasty” and said it has shown “there are no borders, it doesn’t discriminate.”
Trump’s support for GAVI was echoed on the Twitter account for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). “USAID echo’s @Realdonaldtrump‘s words and is proud to be partnering with @Gavi by committing $1.16 billion to protect people through vaccines, because #VaccinesWork,“ the tweet reads. (It should be noted that USAID has also been accused of creating fake social media networks in an attempt to foment unrest in foreign nations.)

It was actually USAID who first announced the pledge of US $1.16 billion in February. The Trump administration included that $1.16 commitment as part of the budget for Fiscal Years 2020-2023. The budget for Fiscal Year 2021 included $290 million for GAVI. Remember that the records from fiscal year 2018 show an estimated $281.6 million to the WHO from the US. The Trump administration’s announcement of an initial $290 million investment easily surpassed the US investment in the WHO. Over the next three years the US will give more than $800 million to GAVI for their vaccination programs.
Once again, this puts Bill Gates and his organizations at the top of the global health pyramid. So what did Mr. Gates have to say about the success of the Global Vaccine Summit?
“Since its inception GAVI has helped vaccinate more than three-quarters of a billion children … And now, it’s stepping up and saying it’s willing to deliver a Covid-19 vaccine as soon as one is available to end the pandemic as soon as possible,” he said at the Summit. “We must also renew our commitment to delivering every life-saving vaccine there is to every child on earth.”
The Trump administration’s support for the development of vaccines to fight COVID-19 is also visible in a more recent virtual event organized by Global Citizen and the European Commission. On June 27, Global Citizen hosted the “Global Goal: Unite for Our Future – The Concert” which was supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Wellcome Trust, and Corporate Partners Citi, Procter & Gamble, SAP, Verizon and Vodafone. Once again, the funds raised at the event went to the Gates-founded GAVI.
During this event, Kelly Craft, United States Ambassador to the United Nations announced the US commitment of $545 million for GAVI towards COVID-19 relief efforts. “Together, we must work in an open, transparent, and supportive manner to build a safer, more resilient world. We must be the true multilateralist in the best sense of the word, working toward the common good,” Craft said.
At a May 2020 virtual summit, also organized by the European Commission, the Trump administration committed to giving another $775 million in emergency health, humanitarian, economic and development aid for governments, international organizations and charities fighting the pandemic. At this same event the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation contributed $125 million.
Either Way, Gates Wins
Taken together – the May payment of $775 million; the early June announcement of $1.16 billion; and the late June gift of $545 million – these taxpayer funded investments will provide abundant resources for GAVI, and subsequently, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. These funds easily outweigh the paltry $281.6 million the US was giving to the WHO.
It is important to understand that the WHO is a part of the United Nations, which itself is an “intergovernmental organization” that is attempting to replace nation-states as we know them today in favor of global governance schemes. GAVI is a “public-private partnership” where governmental bodies and private organizations partner up to provide some sort of public service. Neither of these organizations has been elected by the free people of the nations in which they operate.
Despite this fact, the Trump administration is continuing to give billions to GAVI and in doing so, furthering Bill Gates’ goal to vaccinate 7 billion people. Trump may have pulled funds from the WHO, but that decision allows Gates to take full control of WHO policy and continue to use US taxpayer dollars to fund vaccine projects, including a rushed vaccine for COVID-19. This was likely the plan the whole time.
As we have clearly demonstrated in previous reports, Gates has an outsized influence on the COVID-19 recovery and global health in general. A 2015 report titled, Philanthropic Power and Development: Who shapes the agenda?, examines the influence of global philanthropy and provides examples of the undue influence Gates and others can wield. The report noted that researchers have been critical of GAVI for following a “Gates-approach” on global health challenges, “focusing on disease-specific vertical health interventions (through vaccines), instead of horizontal and holistic approaches (e.g., health system strengthening).”
Further, in May 2019, Gavi CEO Seth Berkley referred to “anti-vaccine sentiment” as a disease that needs to be censored from the internet. Berkley’s statements are perfectly in line with Bill Gates’ vision and the larger agenda of eugenics. The public cannot be allowed to question the safety of vaccines — no matter how rushed they are.
This is why the Trump administration appointed a Big Pharma lackey to head “Operation Warp Speed,” Trump’s plan to fast track the development of vaccines for COVID-19. In May, Trump appointed Moncef Slaoui, a former executive with vaccine manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline, to serve in a volunteer position, assisted by Army Gen. Gustave Perna, the commander of United States Army Materiel Command. According to the Trump administration, Operation Warp Speed program is focusing on four vaccines, with the hopes of testing and producing 100 million doses by October 2020, 200 million by December, and 300 million doses by January. Slaoui has said he believes the goal of vaccines by January 2021 is a “credible goal.”
Once again, Gates’ fingerprints are all over the situation. Slaoui himself has a long history with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, sitting on the boards of companies that are connected to the organization.
It appears that despite the public pronouncements of divesting from the WHO or tweets about standing up to the globalists, the Trump administration continues to push the agenda to vaccinate every person on the planet.

thewakingtimes--2020-07-08--Tyranny Without a Tyrant: The Deep State’s Divide-and-Conquer Strategy Is Working

Tyranny Without a Tyrant : The Deep State ’ s Divide-and-Conquer Strategy Is Working What exactly is going on ?
Is this revolution ?
Is this anarchy ?
Is this a spectacle engineered to distract us from the machinations of the police state ?
Is this a sociological means of re-setting our national equilibrium ?
Is this a Machiavellian scheme designed to further polarize the populace and undermine our efforts to stand unified against government tyranny ?
Is this so-called populist uprising actually a manufactured race war and election-year referendum on who should occupy the White House ?
Whatever it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ justice , the kowtowing to politically correct bullies with no regard for anyone else ’ s free speech rights , the violent blowback after years of government-sanctioned brutality , the mob mindset that is overwhelming the rights of the individual , the oppressive glowering of the Nanny State , the seemingly righteous indignation full of sound and fury that in the end signifies nothing , the partisan divide that grows more impassable with every passing day—is not leading us anywhere good .
Certainly it ’ s not leading to more freedom .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conquer and subdue a nation is succeeding .
It must be said : the Black Lives Matter protests have not helped .
Inadvertently or intentionally , these protests—tinged with mob violence , rampant incivility , intolerance , and an arrogant disdain for how an open marketplace of ideas can advance freedom—have politicized what should never have been politicized : police brutality and the government ’ s ongoing assaults on our freedoms .
For one brief moment in the wake of George Floyd ’ s death , it seemed as if finally “ we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ differences long enough to stand united in outrage over the government ’ s brutality .
That sliver of unity didn ’ t last .
We may be worse off now than we were before .
Suddenly , no one seems to be talking about any of the egregious governmental abuses that are still wreaking havoc on our freedoms : police shootings of unarmed individuals , invasive surveillance , roadside blood draws , roadside strip searches , SWAT team raids gone awry , the military industrial complex ’ s costly wars , pork barrel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forfeiture , fusion centers , militarization , armed drones , smart policing carried out by AI robots , courts that march in lockstep with the police state , schools that function as indoctrination centers , bureaucrats that keep the Deep State in power .
The more things change , the more they stay the same .
How do you persuade a populace to embrace totalitarianism , that goose-stepping form of tyranny in which the government has all of the power and “ we the people ” have none ?
You persuade the people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or not ) is so sinister , so overwhelming , so fearsome that the only way to surmount the danger is by empowering the government to take all necessary steps to quash it , even if that means allowing government jackboots to trample all over the Constitution .
This is how you use the politics of fear to persuade a freedom-endowed people to shackle themselves to a dictatorship .
It works the same way every time .
The government ’ s overblown , extended wars on terrorism , drugs , violence , illegal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been convenient ruses used to terrorize the populace into relinquishing more of their freedoms in exchange for elusive promises of security .
Having allowed our fears to be codified and our actions criminalized , we now find ourselves in a strange new world where just about everything we do is criminalized , even our ability to choose whether or not to wear a mask in public during the COVID-19 pandemic .
Strangely enough , in the face of outright corruption and incompetency on the part of our elected officials , Americans in general @ @ @ @ @ @ @ persuaded that the government can solve the problems that plague us , whether it be terrorism , an economic depression , an environmental disaster , or a global pandemic .
We have relinquished control over the most intimate aspects of our lives to government officials who , while they may occupy seats of authority , are neither wiser , smarter , more in tune with our needs , more knowledgeable about our problems , nor more aware of what is really in our best interests .
Yet having bought into the false notion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s best for us and can ensure not only our safety but our happiness and will take care of us from cradle to grave—that is , from daycare centers to nursing homes—we have in actuality allowed ourselves to be bridled and turned into slaves at the bidding of a government that cares little for our freedoms or our happiness .
The lesson is this : once a free people allows the government inroads into their freedoms or uses those same freedoms as bargaining chips for security , it quickly becomes a slippery @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it seem to matter whether it ’ s a Democrat or a Republican at the helm anymore .
Indeed , the bureaucratic mindset on both sides of the aisle now seems to embody the same philosophy of authoritarian government , whose priorities are to milk “ we the people ” of our hard-earned money ( by way of taxes , fines and fees ) and remain in control and in power .
Modern government in general—ranging from the militarized police in SWAT team gear crashing through our doors to the rash of innocent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the invasive spying on everything we do—is acting illogically , even psychopathically .
( The characteristics of a psychopath include a “ lack of remorse and empathy , a sense of grandiosity , superficial charm , conning and manipulative behavior , and refusal to take responsibility for one ’ s actions , among others.
” ) When our own government no longer sees us as human beings with dignity and worth but as things to be manipulated , maneuvered , mined for data , manhandled by police , conned into believing it has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and then jails us if we dare step out of line , punishes us unjustly without remorse , and refuses to own up to its failings , we are no longer operating under a constitutional republic .
Instead , what we are experiencing is a pathocracy : tyranny at the hands of a psychopathic government , which “ operates against the interests of its own people except for favoring certain groups.
” So where does that leave us ?
Having allowed the government to expand and exceed our reach , we find @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tug-of-war over control of our country and our lives .
And for as long as we let them , government officials will continue to trample on our rights , always justifying their actions as being for the good of the people .
Yet the government can only go as far as “ we the people ” allow .
Therein lies the problem .
The pickle we find ourselves in speaks volumes about the nature of the government beast we have been saddled with and how it views the rights and sovereignty of “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t hear a lot about sovereignty anymore .
Sovereignty is a dusty , antiquated term that harkens back to an age when kings and emperors ruled with absolute power over a populace that had no rights .
Americans turned the idea of sovereignty on its head when they declared their independence from Great Britain and rejected the absolute authority of King George III .
In doing so , Americans claimed for themselves the right to self-government and established themselves as the ultimate authority and power .
In other words , in America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sovereign citizens—call the shots .
So when the government acts , it is supposed to do so at our bidding and on our behalf , because we are the rulers .
That ’ s not exactly how it turned out , though , is it ?
In the 200-plus years since we boldly embarked on this experiment in self-government , we have been steadily losing ground to the government ’ s brazen power grabs , foisted upon us in the so-called name of national security .
The government has knocked us off our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rightful authority .
It has staged the ultimate coup .
Its agents no longer even pretend that they answer to “ we the people.
” Worst of all , “ we the people ” have become desensitized to this constant undermining of our freedoms .
How do we reconcile the Founders ’ vision of the government as an entity whose only purpose is to serve the people with the police state ’ s insistence that the government is the supreme authority , that its power trumps that of the people themselves , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any way it sees fit ( that includes government agents crashing through doors , mass arrests , ethnic cleansing , racial profiling , indefinite detentions without due process , and internment camps ) ?
They can not be reconciled .
They are polar opposites .
We are fast approaching a moment of reckoning where we will be forced to choose between the vision of what America was intended to be ( a model for self-governance where power is vested in the people ) and the reality of what it has become ( a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the government ) .
This slide into totalitarianism—helped along by overcriminalization , government surveillance , militarized police , neighbors turning in neighbors , privatized prisons , and forced labor camps , to name just a few similarities—is tracking very closely with what happened in Germany in the years leading up to Hitler ’ s rise to power .
We are walking a dangerous path right now .
No matter who wins the presidential election come November , it ’ s a sure bet that the losers will be the American people .
Despite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ propaganda that is peddled by the media , the 2020 presidential election is not a populist election for a representative .
Rather , it ’ s a gathering of shareholders to select the next CEO , a fact reinforced by the nation ’ s archaic electoral college system .
Anyone who believes that this election will bring about any real change in how the American government does business is either incredibly naïve , woefully out-of-touch , or oblivious to the fact that as an in-depth Princeton University study shows , we now live @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the rich , by the rich and for the rich.
” When a country spends close to $ 10 billion on elections to select what is , for all intents and purposes , a glorified homecoming king or queen to occupy the White House and fill other government seats , while more than 40 million of its people live in poverty , more than 40 million Americans are on unemployment , more than 500,000 Americans are homeless , and analysts forecast it will take a decade to work our way out of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a country whose priorities are out of step with the needs of its people .
Be warned , however : the Establishment—the Deep State and its corporate partners that really run the show , pull the strings and dictate the policies , no matter who occupies the Oval Office—is not going to allow anyone to take office who will unravel their power structures .
Those who have attempted to do so in the past have been effectively put out of commission .
Voting sustains the illusion that we have a democratic republic , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disguise , or what political scientists Martin Gilens and Benjamin Page more accurately refer to as an “ economic élite domination.
” In such an environment , the economic elite ( lobbyists , corporations , monied special interest groups ) dictate national policy .
As the Princeton University oligarchy study indicates , our elected officials , especially those in the nation ’ s capital , represent the interests of the rich and powerful rather than the average citizen .
As such , the citizenry has little if any impact on the policies of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a two-party system and fooled into believing that there ’ s a difference between the Republicans and Democrats , when in fact , the two parties are exactly the same .
As one commentator noted , both parties support endless war , engage in out-of-control spending , ignore the citizenry ’ s basic rights , have no respect for the rule of law , are bought and paid for by Big Business , care most about their own power , and have a long record of expanding government and shrinking liberty We ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much debt , too many wars , too much power in the hands of a centralized government run by a corporate elite , too many militarized police , too many laws , too many lobbyists , and generally too much bad news .
The powers-that-be want us to believe that our job as citizens begins and ends on Election Day .
They want us to believe that we have no right to complain about the state of the nation unless we ’ ve cast our vote one way or the other .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , hostile to those with whom we disagree politically , and intolerant of anyone or anything whose solutions to what ails this country differ from our own .
What they don ’ t want us talking about is the fact that the government is corrupt , the system is rigged , the politicians don ’ t represent us , the electoral college is a joke , most of the candidates are frauds , and , as I point out in my book Battlefield America : The War on the American People , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of history—namely , allowing a totalitarian state to reign over us .
Former concentration camp inmate Hannah Arendt warned against this when she wrote , “ Never has our future been more unpredictable , never have we depended so much on political forces that can not be trusted to follow the rules of common sense and self-interest—forces that look like sheer insanity , if judged by the standards of other centuries.
” As we once again find ourselves faced with the prospect of voting for the lesser of two evils , “ we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make : do we simply participate in the collapse of the American republic as it degenerates toward a totalitarian regime , or do we take a stand and reject the pathetic excuse for government that is being fobbed off on us ?
Never forget that the lesser of two evils is still evil .

Tyranny Without a Tyrant: The Deep State’s Divide-and-Conquer Strategy Is Working
John W. Whitehead, Rutherford
Waking Times
“In a fully developed bureaucracy there is nobody left with whom one can argue, to whom one can present grievances, on whom the pressures of power can be exerted. Bureaucracy is the form of government in which everybody is deprived of political freedom, of the power to act; for the rule by Nobody is not no-rule, and where all are equally powerless, we have a tyranny without a tyrant.” ― Hannah Arendt, On Violence
What exactly is going on?
Is this revolution? Is this anarchy? Is this a spectacle engineered to distract us from the machinations of the police state? Is this a sociological means of re-setting our national equilibrium? Is this a Machiavellian scheme designed to further polarize the populace and undermine our efforts to stand unified against government tyranny? Is this so-called populist uprising actually a manufactured race war and election-year referendum on who should occupy the White House?
Whatever it is, this—the racial hypersensitivity without racial justice, the kowtowing to politically correct bullies with no regard for anyone else’s free speech rights, the violent blowback after years of government-sanctioned brutality, the mob mindset that is overwhelming the rights of the individual, the oppressive glowering of the Nanny State, the seemingly righteous indignation full of sound and fury that in the end signifies nothing, the partisan divide that grows more impassable with every passing day—is not leading us anywhere good.
Certainly it’s not leading to more freedom.
This draconian exercise in how to divide, conquer and subdue a nation is succeeding.
It must be said: the Black Lives Matter protests have not helped. Inadvertently or intentionally, these protests—tinged with mob violence, rampant incivility, intolerance, and an arrogant disdain for how an open marketplace of ideas can advance freedom—have politicized what should never have been politicized: police brutality and the government’s ongoing assaults on our freedoms.
For one brief moment in the wake of George Floyd’s death, it seemed as if finally “we the people” might put aside our differences long enough to stand united in outrage over the government’s brutality.
That sliver of unity didn’t last.
We may be worse off now than we were before.
Suddenly, no one seems to be talking about any of the egregious governmental abuses that are still wreaking havoc on our freedoms: police shootings of unarmed individuals, invasive surveillance, roadside blood draws, roadside strip searches, SWAT team raids gone awry, the military industrial complex’s costly wars, pork barrel spending, pre-crime laws, civil asset forfeiture, fusion centers, militarization, armed drones, smart policing carried out by AI robots, courts that march in lockstep with the police state, schools that function as indoctrination centers, bureaucrats that keep the Deep State in power.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
How do you persuade a populace to embrace totalitarianism, that goose-stepping form of tyranny in which the government has all of the power and “we the people” have none?
You persuade the people that the menace they face (imaginary or not) is so sinister, so overwhelming, so fearsome that the only way to surmount the danger is by empowering the government to take all necessary steps to quash it, even if that means allowing government jackboots to trample all over the Constitution.
This is how you use the politics of fear to persuade a freedom-endowed people to shackle themselves to a dictatorship.
It works the same way every time.
The government’s overblown, extended wars on terrorism, drugs, violence, illegal immigration, and so-called domestic extremism have been convenient ruses used to terrorize the populace into relinquishing more of their freedoms in exchange for elusive promises of security.
Having allowed our fears to be codified and our actions criminalized, we now find ourselves in a strange new world where just about everything we do is criminalized, even our ability to choose whether or not to wear a mask in public during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Strangely enough, in the face of outright corruption and incompetency on the part of our elected officials, Americans in general remain relatively gullible, eager to be persuaded that the government can solve the problems that plague us, whether it be terrorism, an economic depression, an environmental disaster, or a global pandemic.
We have relinquished control over the most intimate aspects of our lives to government officials who, while they may occupy seats of authority, are neither wiser, smarter, more in tune with our needs, more knowledgeable about our problems, nor more aware of what is really in our best interests. Yet having bought into the false notion that the government does indeed know what’s best for us and can ensure not only our safety but our happiness and will take care of us from cradle to grave—that is, from daycare centers to nursing homes—we have in actuality allowed ourselves to be bridled and turned into slaves at the bidding of a government that cares little for our freedoms or our happiness.
The lesson is this: once a free people allows the government inroads into their freedoms or uses those same freedoms as bargaining chips for security, it quickly becomes a slippery slope to outright tyranny.
Nor does it seem to matter whether it’s a Democrat or a Republican at the helm anymore. Indeed, the bureaucratic mindset on both sides of the aisle now seems to embody the same philosophy of authoritarian government, whose priorities are to milk “we the people” of our hard-earned money (by way of taxes, fines and fees) and remain in control and in power.
Modern government in general—ranging from the militarized police in SWAT team gear crashing through our doors to the rash of innocent citizens being gunned down by police to the invasive spying on everything we do—is acting illogically, even psychopathically. (The characteristics of a psychopath include a “lack of remorse and empathy, a sense of grandiosity, superficial charm, conning and manipulative behavior, and refusal to take responsibility for one’s actions, among others.”)
When our own government no longer sees us as human beings with dignity and worth but as things to be manipulated, maneuvered, mined for data, manhandled by police, conned into believing it has our best interests at heart, mistreated, and then jails us if we dare step out of line, punishes us unjustly without remorse, and refuses to own up to its failings, we are no longer operating under a constitutional republic. Instead, what we are experiencing is a pathocracy: tyranny at the hands of a psychopathic government, which “operates against the interests of its own people except for favoring certain groups.”
So where does that leave us?
Having allowed the government to expand and exceed our reach, we find ourselves on the losing end of a tug-of-war over control of our country and our lives. And for as long as we let them, government officials will continue to trample on our rights, always justifying their actions as being for the good of the people.
Yet the government can only go as far as “we the people” allow. Therein lies the problem.
The pickle we find ourselves in speaks volumes about the nature of the government beast we have been saddled with and how it views the rights and sovereignty of “we the people.”
Now you don’t hear a lot about sovereignty anymore. Sovereignty is a dusty, antiquated term that harkens back to an age when kings and emperors ruled with absolute power over a populace that had no rights. Americans turned the idea of sovereignty on its head when they declared their independence from Great Britain and rejected the absolute authority of King George III. In doing so, Americans claimed for themselves the right to self-government and established themselves as the ultimate authority and power.
In other words, in America, “we the people”— sovereign citizens—call the shots.
So when the government acts, it is supposed to do so at our bidding and on our behalf, because we are the rulers.
That’s not exactly how it turned out, though, is it?
In the 200-plus years since we boldly embarked on this experiment in self-government, we have been steadily losing ground to the government’s brazen power grabs, foisted upon us in the so-called name of national security.
The government has knocked us off our rightful throne. It has usurped our rightful authority. It has staged the ultimate coup. Its agents no longer even pretend that they answer to “we the people.” Worst of all, “we the people” have become desensitized to this constant undermining of our freedoms.
How do we reconcile the Founders’ vision of the government as an entity whose only purpose is to serve the people with the police state’s insistence that the government is the supreme authority, that its power trumps that of the people themselves, and that it may exercise that power in any way it sees fit (that includes government agents crashing through doors, mass arrests, ethnic cleansing, racial profiling, indefinite detentions without due process, and internment camps)?
They cannot be reconciled. They are polar opposites.
We are fast approaching a moment of reckoning where we will be forced to choose between the vision of what America was intended to be (a model for self-governance where power is vested in the people) and the reality of what it has become (a police state where power is vested in the government).
This slide into totalitarianism—helped along by overcriminalization, government surveillance, militarized police, neighbors turning in neighbors, privatized prisons, and forced labor camps, to name just a few similarities—is tracking very closely with what happened in Germany in the years leading up to Hitler’s rise to power.
We are walking a dangerous path right now.
No matter who wins the presidential election come November, it’s a sure bet that the losers will be the American people.
Despite what is taught in school and the propaganda that is peddled by the media, the 2020 presidential election is not a populist election for a representative. Rather, it’s a gathering of shareholders to select the next CEO, a fact reinforced by the nation’s archaic electoral college system.
Anyone who believes that this election will bring about any real change in how the American government does business is either incredibly naïve, woefully out-of-touch, or oblivious to the fact that as an in-depth Princeton University study shows, we now live in an oligarchy that is “of the rich, by the rich and for the rich.”
When a country spends close to $10 billion on elections to select what is, for all intents and purposes, a glorified homecoming king or queen to occupy the White House and fill other government seats, while more than 40 million of its people live in poverty, more than 40 million Americans are on unemployment, more than 500,000 Americans are homeless, and analysts forecast it will take a decade to work our way out of the current COVID-induced recession, that’s a country whose priorities are out of step with the needs of its people.
Be warned, however: the Establishment—the Deep State and its corporate partners that really run the show, pull the strings and dictate the policies, no matter who occupies the Oval Office—is not going to allow anyone to take office who will unravel their power structures. Those who have attempted to do so in the past have been effectively put out of commission.
Voting sustains the illusion that we have a democratic republic, but it is merely a dictatorship in disguise, or what political scientists Martin Gilens and Benjamin Page more accurately refer to as an “economic élite domination.”
In such an environment, the economic elite (lobbyists, corporations, monied special interest groups) dictate national policy. As the Princeton University oligarchy study indicates, our elected officials, especially those in the nation’s capital, represent the interests of the rich and powerful rather than the average citizen. As such, the citizenry has little if any impact on the policies of government.
We have been saddled with a two-party system and fooled into believing that there’s a difference between the Republicans and Democrats, when in fact, the two parties are exactly the same. As one commentator noted, both parties support endless war, engage in out-of-control spending, ignore the citizenry’s basic rights, have no respect for the rule of law, are bought and paid for by Big Business, care most about their own power, and have a long record of expanding government and shrinking liberty
We’re drowning under the weight of too much debt, too many wars, too much power in the hands of a centralized government run by a corporate elite, too many militarized police, too many laws, too many lobbyists, and generally too much bad news.
The powers-that-be want us to believe that our job as citizens begins and ends on Election Day. They want us to believe that we have no right to complain about the state of the nation unless we’ve cast our vote one way or the other. They want us to remain divided over politics, hostile to those with whom we disagree politically, and intolerant of anyone or anything whose solutions to what ails this country differ from our own.
What they don’t want us talking about is the fact that the government is corrupt, the system is rigged, the politicians don’t represent us, the electoral college is a joke, most of the candidates are frauds, and, as I point out in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, we as a nation are repeating the mistakes of history—namely, allowing a totalitarian state to reign over us.
Former concentration camp inmate Hannah Arendt warned against this when she wrote, “Never has our future been more unpredictable, never have we depended so much on political forces that cannot be trusted to follow the rules of common sense and self-interest—forces that look like sheer insanity, if judged by the standards of other centuries.”
As we once again find ourselves faced with the prospect of voting for the lesser of two evils, “we the people” have a decision to make: do we simply participate in the collapse of the American republic as it degenerates toward a totalitarian regime, or do we take a stand and reject the pathetic excuse for government that is being fobbed off on us?
Never forget that the lesser of two evils is still evil.

The decision, authored by Justice Neil Gorsuch, holds the United States to an 1866 treaty that the Muscogee (Creek) Nation signed with the United States after the Civil War over land which was home to the “Five Civilized Tribes”; the Creek, Cherokee Nation, the Seminole, the Chickasaw Nation, and the Choctaw Nation, according to The New Republic.
“Today we are asked whether the land these treaties promised remains an Indian reservation for purposes of federal criminal law,” wrote Gorsuch, a Trump appointee. “Because Congress has not said otherwise, we hold the government to its word.”
Joining Gorsuch in the majority were Justices Sonya Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, while Justices Alito, Kavanaugh, Roberts and Clarence Thomas argued in the minority – siding with the state of Oklahoma.
“A century of practice confirms that the Five Tribes’ prior domains were extinguished,” wrote Roberts. “The State has maintained unquestioned jurisdiction for more than 100 years. Tribe members make up less than 10%–15% of the population of their former domain, and until a few years ago the Creek Nation itself acknowledged that it no longer possessed the reservation the Court discovers today.” Roberts added that “The State’s ability to prosecute serious crimes will be hobbled and decades of past convictions could well be thrown out,” and that “The decision today creates significant uncertainty for the State’s continuing authority over any area that touches Indian affairs, ranging from zoning and taxation to family and environmental law.”
The original case (via the New York Times):
The case concerned Jimcy McGirt, a member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation who was convicted of sex crimes against a child by state authorities in the Nation’s historical boundaries. He said that only federal authorities were entitled to prosecute him. Mr. McGirt argued that Congress had never clearly destroyed the sovereignty of the Creek Nation over the area, covering about half the state. The solicitor general of Oklahoma took the opposite view, saying the area had never been reservation land. McGirt v. Oklahoma, No. 18-9526, an appeal from a state court’s decision, was the Supreme Court’s second attempt to resolve the status of eastern Oklahoma. In November 2018, the justices heard arguments in Sharp v. Murphy, No. 17-1107, which arose from the prosecution in state court of Patrick Murphy, a Creek Indian, for murdering George Jacobs in rural McIntosh County, east of Oklahoma City. After he was sentenced to death, it emerged that the murder had taken place on what had once been Indian land. Mr. Murphy argued that only the federal government could prosecute him and that a federal law barred the imposition of the death penalty because he was an Indian. Mr. Murphy convinced the United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, in Denver. But when the case was argued before an eight-member Supreme Court, the justices seemed divided and troubled. (Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, who had served on the 10th Circuit when it ruled on the case, recused himself.) Instead of issuing a decision before the term ended in June 2019, the court announced it would hear another set of arguments in its current term, which started in October. That was a sign the court had deadlocked, 4 to 4. But there was no new argument in the Murphy case, probably because it was not clear another hearing would break the deadlock. Instead, the court heard Mr. McGirt’s case, allowing the overarching issue to be settled by a nine-member court.
Muscogee tribal leaders cheered the ruling, vowing to work with state and federal law-enforcement authorities to ensure public safety within the reservation, according to the Times.
“This is a historic day,” said Principal Chief David Hill. “This is amazing. It’s never too late to make things right.”

Why Empaths Are Struggling in a World of Masked Faces
Dylan Charles, Editor
Waking Times
We humans tend to get lost in the moment, forgetting about the events that brought us to the present, and neglecting to consider what impact the present night have on the future.
I see this happening now with Covid-19.
Here we are being team players in some weird game, going about with masks on, splashing hand sanitizer all over the place, and shutting down the economy, all the while hoping most to satiate those twin fears of death and rejection by the tribe.
Whatever pandemic narrative you subscribe to, all of the busyness about it serves to address only the present concerns of safety and conformity. All of the effort that went into creating our communities has been forgotten, and any concern over long-term impacts are dismissed. It’s how we’re wired. All trees, no forest.
Let’s look at the forest for a minute.
Lately I’ve been asking a lot of people how they’re doing. Not good.
The vibe out there is dense. Confusion is cleaving a wedge between friends, families, and communities. Whatever camp you’re in, the wagons are being circled and the guns are coming out. People are hardening, and while we may tell ourselves it’s because the other camp is so inherently intolerable, what’s really happening is a catastrophic breakdown in human communication.
Author Gary Z McGee considers the long view of such a breakdown, using cancer as a metaphor.
“Cancer begins with a group of cells that fail to communicate with the conscious signal of the host. These cells become competitive instead of cooperative. When competition become primary and cooperation secondary, then we know we have failed as a species. ” ~ Gary Z McGee
I think by now a lot of us have come to realize that communication via social media is perilous. I mean, Twitter, for crying out loud, might be the worst thing that ever happened to civil adulthood. The platforms are literally scientifically engineered to use negativity as the starting point for a dopamine feedback loop.
Now add a lockdown to such a colossal breakdown, plus social-distancing, plus face masks, and it’s like we’ve reinvented the cold war, scaling it down to work for interpersonal relationships.
There’s just no genuine way to connect with one another. All we have to go on is the media telling us what’s supposedly going on with our neighbors, but that’s mostly bullshit.
It’s tough to measure precisely, but scientist figure that between 60 to 90% of human communication is non-verbal. This means that the bulk of communication is body language, which includes facial expressions.
They say the eyes have it, but without seeing the face, the signal loss is too much. This is why talking to someone who’s wearing sunglasses is totally normal, but trying to understand them in just a Covid mask is disorienting.
You see, words and speech are inventions of the logical mind, which needs a way of relaying experience to others. It works to a degree, but if you’ve ever been fortunate enough to go for a ride on a heroic dose of magic mushrooms and tried to explain it to someone, you know how inadequate and debilitating language really is.
As an empathic person, I’m finding it very challenging to navigate this whole mask thing. I’m a tough SOB, too, by the way, but I feel lost and confused in this masked world. Kind of like a bumble bee buzzing around town with no antennae, trying to make sense of it all with what I’ve got left, but I can’t even rely on the power of a smile to make my way.
“Empathy is the ability to ‘feel with’ another person, to identity with them and sense what they’re experiencing. It’s sometimes seen as the ability to ‘read’ other people’s emotions, or the ability to imagine what they’re feeling, by ‘putting yourself in their shoes.’ In other words, empathy is seen as a cognitive ability, along the same lines as the ability to imagine future scenarios or to solve problems based on previous experience. But in my view, empathy is more than this. It’s the ability to make a psychic and emotional connection with another person, to actually enter into their mind-space. When we experience real empathy or compassion, our identity actually merges with another person’s. The separateness between you and the other person fades away. Your ‘self-boundary’ melts away, so that in a sense – or to an extent – you become them.” ~Steve Taylor Ph.D
We’re all empathic to a degree (yes, even all you psychopaths out there), but some of us are more in tune with this capacity than others. Empaths are a kind of glue that hold civilization together. Our curiosity in others is the emotional circuitry of this neurotic culture.
“Curiosity expands our empathy when we talk to people outside our usual social circle, encountering lives and worldviews very different from our own. Curiosity is good for us too: Happiness guru Martin Seligman identifies it as a key character strength that can enhance life satisfaction. And it is a useful cure for the chronic loneliness afflicting around one in three Americans… Cultivating curiosity requires more than having a brief chat about the weather. Crucially, it tries to understand the world inside the head of the other person.” ~Roman Krznaric
And we really need empaths around, because empathy serves a balancing force in our society, countering the rampant psychopathy that is only emboldened by the mask and the social distance. Plus, putting on a mask changes your relation not just with the world, but with yourself. You already know this to be true, just think about how much we all love Halloween.
Masks let us masquerade as something or someone we are not. Empathy is associated with authenticity and vulnerability. Psychopaths, however, feel at home behind a mask, because psychopathy hates responsibility. The Covid measures serve to put more and more distance between a person and the consequences of their behavior.
At a time when civil society is breaking down and fracturing along lines of race, class, religion and nationality, the presence of the empath is greatly needed. As an example of our power, Roman Krznaric, author of Empathy: Why It Matters, and How to Get It, recounts how empathy brought a Ku Klux Klansmen to leave the Klan.
Krznaric writes:
We all have assumptions about others and use collective labels—e.g., “Muslim fundamentalist,” “welfare mom”—that prevent us from appeciating their individuality. Highly empathic people challenge their own preconceptions and prejudices by searching for what they share with people rather than what divides them. An episode from the history of US race relations illustrates how this can happen. Claiborne Paul Ellis was born into a poor white family in Durham, North Carolina, in 1927. Finding it hard to make ends meet working in a garage and believing African Americans were the cause of all his troubles, he followed his father’s footsteps and joined the Ku Klux Klan, eventually rising to the top position of Exalted Cyclops of his local KKK branch. In 1971 he was invited—as a prominent local citizen—to a 10-day community meeting to tackle racial tensions in schools, and was chosen to head a steering committee with Ann Atwater, a black activist he despised. But working with her exploded his prejudices about African Americans. He saw that she shared the same problems of poverty as his own. “I was beginning to look at a black person, shake hands with him, and see him as a human being,” he recalled of his experience on the committee. “It was almost like bein’ born again.” On the final night of the meeting, he stood in front of a thousand people and tore up his Klan membership card. Ellis later became a labor organiser for a union whose membership was 70 percent African American. He and Ann remained friends for the rest of their lives. There may be no better example of the power of empathy to overcome hatred and change our minds.
So, in this brave new normal, as we scramble for safety and conformity in the present moment, it might be wise to consider the long term implications of all the measures we are taking, and also acknowledge the positive impact that true, deep, human communication plays in creating a society worth living in.
And for all you empaths out there struggling to feel your way around this brave new world, I feel you.

Battered Souls #011 – Racism, Stolen History & Elder Wisdom
Waking Times
Given the current crisis where the issue of racism is violently coming to the surface, I thought it would be insightful to ask one of my elders to share his perspective of being a black man in America.
In this podcast I’m joined by a friend, and someone worthy of the title of elder, Vasil Abed.
The conversation gets pretty deep into some things that people don’t typically bring up, but through the darkness of it all, he shares some incredibly valuable wisdom about what our world could look like, and what it really means to be a man today.
Thanks for tuning in, and I hope you find something valuable in this conversation from the heart. Peace.
