thewakingtimes--2020-05-29--The Pandemic Pattern—How the Illusion is Built

The Pandemic Pattern—How the Illusion is Built This article is based on my study and investigation of so-called epidemics over the past 30 years .
In the case of COVID-19 , I ’ ve written at least one piece covering , in detail , each main element of the illusion .
Here , I ’ m laying out the pattern .
It is the same for each fake epidemic .
ONE : A structure is in place to promote and launch the IDEA of an epidemic .
World Health Organization , CDC , influential public health officials attached to governments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : There is a purported incident .
An outbreak .
The most obvious cause is intentionally overlooked .
For example , horrendous air pollution , or the grotesque feces and urine pollution on a giant commercial pig factory-farm .
Instead , the world is told a new virus has been found .
Local researchers , if any , are augmented by researchers from CDC , WHO .
THREE : There is no air-tight chain of evidence explaining exactly how the purported new virus was discovered .
From details released , there is no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no proper unified study of MANY supposed epidemic patients .
FOUR : But WHO/CDC tells the world this is an epidemic in the making , caused by the new virus .
The promotion and propaganda/media apparatus moves into high gear .
Ominous pronouncements .
FIVE : Diagnostic tests for the unproven new virus are rolled out .
They spit out false “ proof ” of “ infection ” like coins from a jackpot slot machine .
SIX : Thus , all case numbers and death numbers , which are based on the tests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already meaningless , because the supposed new virus “ being tested for ” was never properly discovered in the first place .
SEVEN : Nevertheless , these tests ( plus useless eyeball diagnosis ) are used to build official reports on case numbers .
For the duration of the “ epidemic , ” reports keep coming , and escalating numbers are trumpeted .
Within the basically meaningless structure of these reports , there is fiddling with totals , to make them even more impressive and frightening .
EIGHT : Real people are really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the most part , they are people who are dying from traditional and long-standing conditions—flu-like illness , pneumonia , other lung infections , etc .
These people are “ re-packaged ” under the new epidemic label—Swine Flu , COVID , etc .
The official description of the “ new epidemic disease ” —the clinical symptoms—is sufficiently general to easily allow this re-packaging .
NINE : If there is new illness , it can be explained by causes having nothing to do with the purported new virus .
For example , a toxic vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Highly toxic pesticides .
TEN : Over time , the definition of the epidemic is arbitrarily widened to include more symptoms and clinical features , in order to inflate case numbers .
ELEVEN : Control of information about the “ epidemic ” is hardened at the top .
The talking heads , from the press and public health agencies , know as much about actual science as rabbits know about drone strikes .
But they are “ in charge.
” Dissident information is attacked and censored .
TWELVE : Medical drugs used to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine is rolled out , it , too , is toxic .
Illness and death resulting from these and other medical attacks are counted as “ epidemic cases caused by the virus.
” THIRTEEN : ABOVE ALL OTHER ILLUSIONS , the main deception is : “ the epidemic is one disease or syndrome caused by one germ.
” This is sold with unceasing propaganda .
Most people fall for it .
They will even argue among themselves about which “ it ” is the single cause of the “ it ” disease .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ or disease .
FOURTEEN : The public is sold lie after lie about contagion and the “ spread ” of the “ it.
” FIFTEEN : The public chants ( as if no one has ever died before ) , “ People are dying , it must be the virus.
” SIXTEEN : The virus fairy tale always functions as a cover story for government or corporate or medical crimes .
It obscures and hides these crimes .
For example , a large factory is spewing horrendous pollution into the ground and water @ @ @ @ @ @ @ getting sick and dying ?
No , the cause is actually a new virus no one has ever seen before .
As I wrote at the outset of the COVID illusion , the only difference this time , in 2020 , is the weight of the lies—because they led to the lockdowns and the economic devastation .
This is West Nile , SARS , Swine Flu , Zika , writ large .
Needless to say , the persons and groups responsible for launching these illusion-operations must hide their crimes .
The criminals have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their most powerful : control of the press , and arcane technical language which pretends to relevance .
This language is so dense , the uninitiated stand no chance of penetrating it .
For instance , researchers can babble for hours about their vaunted diagnostic test , the PCR .

The Pandemic Pattern—How the Illusion is Built

This article is based on my study and investigation of so-called epidemics over the past 30 years.
In the case of COVID-19, I’ve written at least one piece covering, in detail, each main element of the illusion. Here, I’m laying out the pattern. It is the same for each fake epidemic.
ONE: A structure is in place to promote and launch the IDEA of an epidemic. World Health Organization, CDC, influential public health officials attached to governments around the world, etc.
TWO: There is a purported incident. An outbreak. The most obvious cause is intentionally overlooked. For example, horrendous air pollution, or the grotesque feces and urine pollution on a giant commercial pig factory-farm. Instead, the world is told a new virus has been found. Local researchers, if any, are augmented by researchers from CDC, WHO.
THREE: There is no air-tight chain of evidence explaining exactly how the purported new virus was discovered. From details released, there is no proof of discovery by convincing methods, no proper unified study of MANY supposed epidemic patients.
FOUR: But WHO/CDC tells the world this is an epidemic in the making, caused by the new virus. The promotion and propaganda/media apparatus moves into high gear. Ominous pronouncements.
FIVE: Diagnostic tests for the unproven new virus are rolled out. They spit out false “proof” of “infection” like coins from a jackpot slot machine.
SIX: Thus, all case numbers and death numbers, which are based on the tests, are rendered meaningless. And…they were already meaningless, because the supposed new virus “being tested for” was never properly discovered in the first place.
SEVEN: Nevertheless, these tests (plus useless eyeball diagnosis) are used to build official reports on case numbers. For the duration of the “epidemic,” reports keep coming, and escalating numbers are trumpeted. Within the basically meaningless structure of these reports, there is fiddling with totals, to make them even more impressive and frightening.
EIGHT: Real people are really getting sick and dying, but for the most part, they are people who are dying from traditional and long-standing conditions—flu-like illness, pneumonia, other lung infections, etc. These people are “re-packaged” under the new epidemic label—Swine Flu, COVID, etc. The official description of the “new epidemic disease”—the clinical symptoms—is sufficiently general to easily allow this re-packaging.
NINE: If there is new illness, it can be explained by causes having nothing to do with the purported new virus. For example, a toxic vaccine campaign. A highly destructive drug. Highly toxic pesticides.
TEN: Over time, the definition of the epidemic is arbitrarily widened to include more symptoms and clinical features, in order to inflate case numbers.
ELEVEN: Control of information about the “epidemic” is hardened at the top. The talking heads, from the press and public health agencies, know as much about actual science as rabbits know about drone strikes. But they are “in charge.” Dissident information is attacked and censored.
TWELVE: Medical drugs used to treat patients are toxic. If a vaccine is rolled out, it, too, is toxic. Illness and death resulting from these and other medical attacks are counted as “epidemic cases caused by the virus.”
THIRTEEN: ABOVE ALL OTHER ILLUSIONS, the main deception is: “the epidemic is one disease or syndrome caused by one germ.” This is sold with unceasing propaganda. Most people fall for it. They will even argue among themselves about which “it” is the single cause of the “it” disease. There is no “it” cause or disease.
FOURTEEN: The public is sold lie after lie about contagion and the “spread” of the “it.”
FIFTEEN: The public chants (as if no one has ever died before), “People are dying, it must be the virus.”
SIXTEEN: The virus fairy tale always functions as a cover story for government or corporate or medical crimes. It obscures and hides these crimes. For example, a large factory is spewing horrendous pollution into the ground and water of an area, and people are getting sick and dying? No, the cause is actually a new virus no one has ever seen before.
As I wrote at the outset of the COVID illusion, the only difference this time, in 2020, is the weight of the lies—because they led to the lockdowns and the economic devastation. This is West Nile, SARS, Swine Flu, Zika, writ large.
Needless to say, the persons and groups responsible for launching these illusion-operations must hide their crimes.
The criminals have their weapons, of course. Among their most powerful: control of the press, and arcane technical language which pretends to relevance. This language is so dense, the uninitiated stand no chance of penetrating it.
For instance, researchers can babble for hours about their vaunted diagnostic test, the PCR. However, the simple truth is, a crucial piece of the test has never been vetted. The test has never been tested in the real world outside the lab.
I have written about this extensively. Using a little guideline called SCIENCE, you would “test the test” by lining up, say, a thousand patients, some healthy, some sick from a supposed virus. Any virus. Tissue samples would be taken from each patient.
PCR mavens would run these samples through their equipment, reporting which patients show what they call high “viral load.”
This means: these particular patients have millions and millions of virus actively replicating in their bodies, and they will be unmistakably and visibly sick.
The PCR princes would then announce, “Patients 3,45,65,76,132…are all definitely sick.”
Now we un-blind the study and see what’s what and who’s who. Are these designated patients ill or are they running marathons? That’s called simple scientific method. Not technical gobbledygook.
This chunk of research has never been done. It never will be done. It’s too real. Too naked. Proponents of the PCR would have too much to lose, if their assessments of who are healthy and who are sick turned out to be absurdly wrong, and their arcane technical rhetoric about the PCR ended up being useless gibberish.
I include this illustration to indicate there are, indeed, ways of exposing professional liars, if you change the venue on them, if you use common sense, if you stand outside their self-appointed temples of mystical horseshit and observe what their lies look like when you boil them down to human terms…

Video of Cops Conducting a Drive-by Pepper Spraying Explains Why People are Angry Minneapolis , MN — It ’ s been five days since police were seen on video murdering George Floyd while he was in handcuffs on the ground .
Though the officers were fired , not a single one of them has been charged with a crime .
The anger directed toward the Minneapolis police department is real , vast in scope and entirely justified .
While the destruction of private property is not at all condoned , it is not hard to see where it comes from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ majority of protesters in Minneapolis are peaceful and are there to practice their First Amendment right to voice their anger at the fact that cops can murder people on video , and instead of get arrested , they get a platoon guarding their home .
This disparity between the police and the ones they are supposed to serve is utterly shocking — not surprising , but shocking .
Instead of seeking justice for a murder that took place in front of multiple witnesses and on video , police circled the wagons and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being backed into a corner and like anyone who is put in that position , they are reacting with fight or flight .
If you want to know what may provoke someone to begin destroying police property , the video below may serve as an answer .
It shows cops speeding through protesters — who appeared peaceful at the time — and spraying them with pepper spray from the window .
While we never advocate for any unprovoked attacks on property , it would be inaccurate to state that the attack on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ noted above , the anger these rioters feel is real .
While many Americans are able to sit behind their computer screens and TVs and watch this unfold , the folks in Minneapolis have been pushed to a breaking point .
People are tired of watching cops kill unarmed and often innocent people only to keep their jobs and pensions while the taxpayers of these cities take the brunt of the responsibility .
For decades there has been a perfect storm brewing in this country as minorities and poor people have their doors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ during botched raids for substances deemed illegal by the state and watch helplessly as their family members die in video after video at the hands of cops .
Now , we have record unemployment , lockdowns , cops murdering people on video and facing no immediate charges , and those in charge sit at the top and point fingers .
So , why we would never condone the destruction of private property to make one ’ s point , we understand the anger and helplessness felt by those who would .
Sadly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ senseless violence will undoubtedly sway people away from the much needed anger directed at the system that led to the death of George Floyd .
The very small group of people responsible for this destruction will be used to discount the entire peaceful nature of the rest of the protests .
This is tragic and unfortunate because Floyd ’ s death , while similar to so many other police killings , received a response from all sides like never before .
In one of the most incredible connections of the two-party divide we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s death enraged not only the Black Lives Matter folks and the left — who are always willing to go to bat for those killed by police — but conservatives , who consistently apologize for killer cops , had finally taken a stand as well .

Minneapolis, MN — It’s been five days since police were seen on video murdering George Floyd while he was in handcuffs on the ground. Though the officers were fired, not a single one of them has been charged with a crime. The anger directed toward the Minneapolis police department is real, vast in scope and entirely justified. While the destruction of private property is not at all condoned, it is not hard to see where it comes from.
As my father explained during his lifetime, a riot is the language of the unheard. — Martin Luther King III (@OfficialMLK3) May 28, 2020
To be clear, the overwhelming majority of protesters in Minneapolis are peaceful and are there to practice their First Amendment right to voice their anger at the fact that cops can murder people on video, and instead of get arrested, they get a platoon guarding their home.
Damn… Instead of arresting Derek Chauvin for murdering George Floyd, 200 cops are being paid by tax dollars to protect him and his house. Yes, innocent until proven guilty, but he should already be charged and arrested, yet he was not. This is why people burn shit. https://t.co/qtgzQWiW7M — Matt Agorist (@MattAgorist) May 28, 2020
This disparity between the police and the ones they are supposed to serve is utterly shocking — not surprising, but shocking. Instead of seeking justice for a murder that took place in front of multiple witnesses and on video, police circled the wagons and the protesters became the enemy. They are being backed into a corner and like anyone who is put in that position, they are reacting with fight or flight.
If you want to know what may provoke someone to begin destroying police property, the video below may serve as an answer. It shows cops speeding through protesters — who appeared peaceful at the time — and spraying them with pepper spray from the window.
While we never advocate for any unprovoked attacks on property, it would be inaccurate to state that the attack on the Minneapolis police department was unprovoked.
As noted above, the anger these rioters feel is real.

People are tired of watching cops kill unarmed and often innocent people only to keep their jobs and pensions while the taxpayers of these cities take the brunt of the responsibility.
For decades there has been a perfect storm brewing in this country as minorities and poor people have their doors kicked in and are terrorized by cops during botched raids for substances deemed illegal by the state and watch helplessly as their family members die in video after video at the hands of cops. Now, we have record unemployment, lockdowns, cops murdering people on video and facing no immediate charges, and those in charge sit at the top and point fingers.
So, why we would never condone the destruction of private property to make one’s point, we understand the anger and helplessness felt by those who would.
Sadly, however, the destruction to property and senseless violence will undoubtedly sway people away from the much needed anger directed at the system that led to the death of George Floyd. The very small group of people responsible for this destruction will be used to discount the entire peaceful nature of the rest of the protests.

For once, Americans were becoming united in the face of police brutality and it was crossing party lines.
A united front of people pushing for government and police accountability would be an unstoppable force for good. Perhaps that’s why there are so many people attempting to thwart this unity.
Hopefully, the destruction of property in Minneapolis does not serve as a snooze button on the alarms of those on the right who’ve finally awaken to the standing army our forefathers warned us about. Do not let the actions of a few prevent you from seeing the bigger picture that the American law enforcement system is broken.

thewakingtimes--2020-05-29--The Only Way Out Is In

The Only Way Out Is In

The Only Way Out Is In External reality got you down ?
Pretty well destabilized and confused ?
I know as well as you how intense and personal this all is .
I ’ m in the same mess wherever it came from or whatever crippled state of humanity brought this on .
We ’ re all in the same hole-ridden boat on an endless ocean of discovery .
We can describe all day the obvious workings going on .
The tendency to externalize with blame or to accuse is universal in this dumbed-down experience .
And this abject sense @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Humanity has submitted itself to rulers since inception .
Paying the fiddler is continuous as well as dramatically cyclical .
Mankind has been begging for it .
If you don ’ t believe me , look at the degrees it ’ s gone to to repeatedly jump through every hoop it ’ s been told for ages .
It ’ s pathetic but we grew up in this mess .
It ’ s time to break the cycle .
It ’ s not the rulers .
It ’ s the worship , fear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the loss of true selfhood that this all stems from .
You get what you pay for .
Everybody knows that .
We just don ’ t like stuff when it applies to ourselves .
It ’ s always the other guy or something external .
Pure programmed , dualistic bullshit .
Yet we keep falling for it .
The external is an extension of what ’ s within .
You may have to wrestle with that one for a while but it ’ s true .
We think we can see it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you do you ’ ll come out the other side .
It ’ s a way better view from there .
Collective and individual willfully unconscious humanity has clearly brought this upon itself but it always works towards evolution , however painful .
None of us are above this challenge .
It ’ s a personal battle that should have been fought and won individually a long time ago but society is geared otherwise and we ’ ve had to find our own way .
Clearly few have pursued the real challenge and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mess .
It ’ s time to face up to ourselves .
It ’ s Just Cycling Through – Look for the Fire of Real Truth That all may sound morose , fatalist or even escapist to some but it ’ s the truth .
But we don ’ t like the truth , unless it suits our perceived needs .
Humanity has been coerced to be reactive but nothing can quench our true aliveness .
You know it .
I know it .
Ironically it ’ s like this trumped up virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of our make up .
Many challenging ones cycle through creation and make us stronger and prune the human tree , as life continually does .
This external “ enemy du jour ” is a mind game .
Unfortunately or perhaps inevitably , crippled humanity was ripe for this .
So be it .
Nature is more wondrous than we know ; that true Universal Nature which permeates and applies on the grandest scheme of things , more than we can imagine .
But we don ’ t like that idea .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ false authority , but to the Source of Creation itself .
We seem to default to and even prefer living under control by others , including fabricated , self assuaging belief systems , rather than take the responsibility to be truly free and natural .
We need to look for the fire of truth in whatever we see or experience .
It ’ s all around and within us , escaping reason and defying everything illusion throws at us .
What ’ s Going On Here ?
Metaphorically , this appears to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the fear of death , as has been playing out for eons .
There might be a “ they ” who wholeheartedly work with such seemingly adversarial energies but it ’ s simply the cycle of life itself .
Just as the scarcity meme has , or a plethora of other easily imposed mechanisms have self-crippled the full human experience by humanity ’ s compliant subservience .
We seem to find some strange form of confidence or false footing there , very much like Stockholm syndrome hostages , to be blunt .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ s just how raw truth sounds to those in love with their dream state and prefer not to be woken up .
We can blame circumstances all we want .
Until we dig deep and find what all of this external stuff is attaching to and easily manipulating within us , this cycle will wash , rinse and repeat .
I don ’ t know about you , but I know the buck stops there .
Until we ’ re willing to truly wake up , this illusion will continue to keep its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you want , you ’ re missing the point .
And Why All This ?
That ’ s a sort of sacred question .
“ Why ” never has a true answer as it ’ s based in the rational mind , one of our installed tools that has been groomed to become an obstacle , for whatever “ reason ” in our strange predicament and conscious evolution .
Give it any meaning or excuse you want .
That ’ s what we do when we cower from real truth to distance ourselves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same shit you do .
If I were to guess in the rational realm , perhaps the “ reason ” is to purge and purify and reveal the majesty of life , as life resolutely does day in and day out in the resounding natural world around us .
In nature there is no fear of death or controllers .
Nada .
Nature just is .
But what else can burn off the dross of willful ignorance other than the fires of intense adversity ?
I don ’ t know , but that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We can only identify cycles , rhythms , and repeated patterns to learn from .
Your conjecture is as good as mine but what underlies remains .
We each are the only experience we ’ ll ever know , however we paint the external .
“ Who ” then are we ?
Have we even bothered to find that out yet , beyond this shallow shell of constant programmed action and re-action ?
Until we do this will continue .
Individually and collectively .
Try to tell people things like this , that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obscured , corrupted and hijacked .
Have a go at it .
You ’ ll run into an egoically driven shitstorm with more unsubstantiated and full on fabricated escapist ‘ reasons ” and beliefs than you can imagine .
The ego holds on , to the death , and will attempt to devour anything in its path toward continued dominion over its subject .
That ’ s why it has to die .
This false self thing has controlled majestic humanity for a long , long time although many have awakened out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
We kill those people .
Some teachings have survived but to little avail .
Whether humanity starts to “ get it ” this time around is not within anyone ’ s control .
Like you , I simply describe what I see and experience .
What anyone does with it is none of my concern .
The outcome is not the issue , but heartfelt communication is the very act of love itself .
That ’ s what we do .
Knowing we ’ re not alone in this experience comforts and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ natural expression .
We each have to let it burn brightly no matter what .
That is the only force that can counter the deleterious effects of illusion .
Large or small there ’ s no difference .
Let it shine .
Dispel the Illusion with Inner Truth Don ’ t let illusion scare , depress or freak the crap out of you .
Don ’ t feed It with your attention and give it no quarter .
This latest external manifestation is but another carefully fabricated lie that was destined to come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own willful ignorance .
It ’ s just another extension of the massive lie that only grew stronger over a compliant host for centuries .
Parasites feed on a seeming dead and dying host .
We are at an apex .
One of many , but apparently a big one .
A point every life should have come to individually a long , long time ago .
Now it ’ s a collective one , a seeming network of “ evil ” that can only work to serve our growth and struggle to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
So much for the eternally combative good and evil meme , but few caught in the dualistic paradigm will grasp that .
They need enemies and boogeymen to keep the game afloat .
That ’ s all it is .
I see it as an opportunity – to truly wake up or go down the sewer pipe through the colon of history .
The same challenge that was presented to our forefathers for generations .
Many woke up , many more didn ’ t .
The great mandala goes round and round @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one of us .
Leap into the unknown or follow the fabricated path to virtual hell to put it in graphic terms .
But it ’ s an individual process .
The collective is nothing to look to or depend on ; it never has been .
It Doesn ’ t Matter in the Grand Scheme of Things All is well where it matters .
You ’ re already there deep inside .
Let that be your guide .
That doesn ’ t go away .
It never will .
Fear of death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kept mankind in bondage for eons .
All other fears are connected .
Don ’ t let that snare your soul .
Our natural state is fearlessness .
You already know that .
This illusion may fly apart in total chaos but the real You can not be touched .
It will arise within you .
It ’ s always been there and always will be .
We are the apocalypse .
The great revealing .
The external is merely a reflective screen .
Don ’ t judge anything by it .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ co-creative Universe in and of ourselves .
It ’ s unshakable and there for the taking .

It’s pathetic but we grew up in this mess. It’s time to break the cycle.

None of us are above this challenge. It’s a personal battle that should have been fought and won individually a long time ago but society is geared otherwise and we’ve had to find our own way. Clearly few have pursued the real challenge and now we find ourselves in this collective mess.
It’s time to face up to ourselves.
It’s Just Cycling Through – Look for the Fire of Real Truth
That all may sound morose, fatalist or even escapist to some but it’s the truth. But we don’t like the truth, unless it suits our perceived needs. Humanity has been coerced to be reactive but nothing can quench our true aliveness.
You know it. I know it.
Ironically it’s like this trumped up virus itself. Viruses are an essential part of our make up. Many challenging ones cycle through creation and make us stronger and prune the human tree, as life continually does. This external “enemy du jour” is a mind game.
Unfortunately or perhaps inevitably, crippled humanity was ripe for this.
So be it.
Nature is more wondrous than we know; that true Universal Nature which permeates and applies on the grandest scheme of things, more than we can imagine.
But we don’t like that idea. It requires humility and submission. Not to false authority, but to the Source of Creation itself. We seem to default to and even prefer living under control by others, including fabricated, self assuaging belief systems, rather than take the responsibility to be truly free and natural.
We need to look for the fire of truth in whatever we see or experience. It’s all around and within us, escaping reason and defying everything illusion throws at us.
What’s Going On Here?
Metaphorically, this appears to be something of an almost occult ceremony playing on the fear of death, as has been playing out for eons. There might be a “they” who wholeheartedly work with such seemingly adversarial energies but it’s simply the cycle of life itself. Just as the scarcity meme has, or a plethora of other easily imposed mechanisms have self-crippled the full human experience by humanity’s compliant subservience.
We seem to find some strange form of confidence or false footing there, very much like Stockholm syndrome hostages, to be blunt.
Does that sound harsh? That’s just how raw truth sounds to those in love with their dream state and prefer not to be woken up. We can blame circumstances all we want. Until we dig deep and find what all of this external stuff is attaching to and easily manipulating within us, this cycle will wash, rinse and repeat.
I don’t know about you, but I know the buck stops there. Until we’re willing to truly wake up, this illusion will continue to keep its foothold.
Scream against the machine all you want, you’re missing the point.
And Why All This?
That’s a sort of sacred question. “Why” never has a true answer as it’s based in the rational mind, one of our installed tools that has been groomed to become an obstacle, for whatever “reason” in our strange predicament and conscious evolution.
Give it any meaning or excuse you want. That’s what we do when we cower from real truth to distance ourselves from facing ourselves. I battle the same shit you do.
If I were to guess in the rational realm, perhaps the “reason” is to purge and purify and reveal the majesty of life, as life resolutely does day in and day out in the resounding natural world around us.
In nature there is no fear of death or controllers. Nada. Nature just is.
But what else can burn off the dross of willful ignorance other than the fires of intense adversity? I don’t know, but that’s perhaps part of it.
We can only identify cycles, rhythms, and repeated patterns to learn from. Your conjecture is as good as mine but what underlies remains.
We each are the only experience we’ll ever know, however we paint the external.
“Who” then are we? Have we even bothered to find that out yet, beyond this shallow shell of constant programmed action and re-action?
Until we do this will continue. Individually and collectively.
Go Ahead
Try to tell people things like this, that their whole reference point is off, obscured, corrupted and hijacked. Have a go at it. You’ll run into an egoically driven shitstorm with more unsubstantiated and full on fabricated escapist ‘reasons” and beliefs than you can imagine.
The ego holds on, to the death, and will attempt to devour anything in its path toward continued dominion over its subject.
That’s why it has to die. This false self thing has controlled majestic humanity for a long, long time although many have awakened out of it.
And what do we do? We kill those people. Some teachings have survived but to little avail.
Whether humanity starts to “get it” this time around is not within anyone’s control.
Like you, I simply describe what I see and experience.
What anyone does with it is none of my concern. The outcome is not the issue, but heartfelt communication is the very act of love itself. That’s what we do.
Knowing we’re not alone in this experience comforts and empowers the heart. Love is our natural expression. We each have to let it burn brightly no matter what. That is the only force that can counter the deleterious effects of illusion.
Large or small there’s no difference. Let it shine.
Brightly.
That’s all that matters.
Dispel the Illusion with Inner Truth
Don’t let illusion scare, depress or freak the crap out of you.
Don’t feed It with your attention and give it no quarter. This latest external manifestation is but another carefully fabricated lie that was destined to come into being due to humanity’s own willful ignorance.
It’s just another extension of the massive lie that only grew stronger over a compliant host for centuries. Parasites feed on a seeming dead and dying host.
We are at an apex. One of many, but apparently a big one. A point every life should have come to individually a long, long time ago. Now it’s a collective one, a seeming network of “evil” that can only work to serve our growth and struggle to come alive, as all challenges are.
So much for the eternally combative good and evil meme, but few caught in the dualistic paradigm will grasp that. They need enemies and boogeymen to keep the game afloat. That’s all it is.
I see it as an opportunity – to truly wake up or go down the sewer pipe through the colon of history. The same challenge that was presented to our forefathers for generations.
Many woke up, many more didn’t. The great mandala goes round and round.
The choice is up to each one of us. Leap into the unknown or follow the fabricated path to virtual hell to put it in graphic terms.
But it’s an individual process. The collective is nothing to look to or depend on; it never has been.
It Doesn’t Matter in the Grand Scheme of Things
All is well where it matters.
You’re already there deep inside. Let that be your guide.
That doesn’t go away. It never will. Fear of death itself is the ultimate illusion that has kept mankind in bondage for eons. All other fears are connected. Don’t let that snare your soul.
Our natural state is fearlessness. You already know that.
This illusion may fly apart in total chaos but the real You cannot be touched.
Find rest, strength and guidance there.
It will arise within you. It’s always been there and always will be.
No effort needed.
We are the apocalypse. The great revealing. The external is merely a reflective screen. Don’t judge anything by it.
We each are part of the massive, co-creative Universe in and of ourselves.
Tap into it.
Find peace and rest beyond comprehension.
It’s unshakable and there for the taking.
Stand tall.
Much love, Zen

COVID Symptoms of Power: Tech Billionaires Harvest Humanity
Dr. Mercola, Guest
Waking Times
Bill Gates has built a global empire around his technologies and “philanthropic” endeavors. His sheer wealth has allowed him to become a veritable superpower in his own right, rising to become the unelected global health tsar on COVID-19. Indeed, the World Health Organization and the White House pandemic response team even kowtows to his nonexistent medical expertise.
Life cannot and will not go back to normal until we can vaccinate the entire global population, Gates says, and that same sentiment is being echoed from government leaders and health authorities around the world. Never mind the fact that actual scientists and medical researchers are finding all sorts of simple, inexpensive and safe strategies to address this illness.
But vaccinating the global population isn’t enough, in Gates’ eyes. We must also implement surveillance of infection and vaccination status. Not surprisingly, Gates’ recommendations benefit himself most of all.
As discussed in “Bill Gates — Most Dangerous Philanthropist in Modern History?” the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation donates billions to the very same companies and industries that the Foundation owns stocks and bonds in.
Using nonprofit money to advance research for companies you’re invested in is illegal, yet he’s been getting away with this for many years. At the same time, his Foundation gets tax breaks for the charitable donations it makes money from. Remember, he has “donated” tens of billions, yet his net worth has doubled. This is largely because his “donations” are tax deductible investments.
Pandemic Fear-Mongering Pays Off for Tech Companies
While unemployment has reached a historical high during this pandemic, the financial crush is not felt by some. In fact, Gates and other tech billionaires are cashing in big, in a variety of different ways.
In a May 8, 2020, article in The Intercept, Naomi Klein reports on how New York is tasking Gates with reinventing the state’s “post-Covid reality, with an emphasis on permanently integrating technology into every aspect of civic life.”
May 6, 2020, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the state is partnering with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to develop “a smarter education system” focused on online learning. This, despite the fact that the Common Core curriculum — the Gates Foundation’s previous attempt at remaking American education — has been an abysmal failure.
The state is also partnering with Google, and Cuomo has asked former Google CEO Eric Schmidt to head a new panel to plan the state’s technological infrastructure. Schmidt joined Cuomo during a briefing, saying “The first priorities … are focused on telehealth, remote learning and broadband …” As noted by Klein:
“It has taken some time to gel, but something resembling a coherent pandemic shock doctrine is beginning to emerge.
Call it the Screen New Deal. Far more hi-tech than anything we have seen during previous disasters, the future that is being rushed into being as the bodies still pile up treats our past weeks of physical isolation not as a painful necessity to save lives, but as a living laboratory for a permanent — and highly profitable — no-touch future …
It’s a future in which our homes are never again exclusively personal spaces, but are also, via high-speed digital connectivity, our schools, our doctor’s offices, our gyms, and, if determined by the state, our jails …
It’s a future in which our every move, our every word, our every relationship is trackable, traceable and data-mineable by unprecedented collaborations between government and tech giants.
If all of this sounds familiar, it’s because, pre-Covid, this precise app-driven, gig-fueled future was being sold to us in the name of friction-free convenience and personalization. But many of us had concerns …
Today, a great many of those well-founded concerns are being swept away by a tidal wave of panic, and this warmed-over dystopia is going through a rush-job rebranding.
Now, against a harrowing backdrop of mass death, it is being sold to us on the dubious promise that these technologies are the only possible way to pandemic-proof our lives, the indispensable keys to keeping ourselves and our loved ones safe …
At the heart of this vision is seamless integration of government with a handful of Silicon Valley giants — with public schools, hospitals, doctor’s offices, police and military all outsourcing (at a high cost) many of their core functions to private tech companies.”
In her article — which is well worth reading in its entirety — Klein reviews how Schmidt and Gates have been working and pushing toward the future that is now staring us square in the face, and how the surveillance apparatus that consumers have been railing against is now being rebranded as the answer to everyone’s health concerns.
In a May 6, 2020, article, Vox’s Theodore Schleifer weighed in on Cuomo’s decision to hand over the proverbial keys to the state to tech billionaires whose philanthropy always ends up benefiting themselves the most:
“Details are scarce about exactly how much power these groups will have beyond issuing recommendations or whether their work will be public. But Gates could suddenly have the ability to recommend what types of things are taught to the state’s students in a ‘reimagined’ system.
Schmidt could encourage the state to significantly embrace remote health care services that could be controversial. While both have been successful business leaders, the concern would mirror the broader criticism of billionaire philanthropy: that this ‘help’ offers a few wealthy people some undemocratic influence over American public policy.”
Schmidt Futures Wants to Make Private Data Public
While less visible than Gates, Schmidt can hardly be trusted any more than Gates. Schmidt Futures — Eric and Wendy Schmidt’s philanthropic initiative, which “seeks to improve societal outcomes through the thoughtful development of emerging science and technologies that can benefit humanity” — admits that one of its approaches is to “liberate private data with a public purpose.”
Clearly, infection status falls into a category of private data that is now rebranded as having a “public purpose.” As noted on its website:
“There is a tremendous opportunity to use data collected by the private sector to solve societal challenges, and in doing so create the platforms needed to reach people at scale. Examples of data types include mobile, social media, e-commerce, remote sensing/satellite, and sensor data. Advances in data science and machine learning are increasing our capacity to use and interpret these data.”
‘Unaccountable Monopolists’ Replace Elected Representatives
In a May 14, 2020, Guardian article, Zephyr Teachout and Pat Garofalo comment:
“Even if Schmidt and Gates had good policies, Cuomo’s knighting of them is offensive to American self-government. Nobody voted for them and they are accountable to no one. Cuomo, often accused of being too close to big campaign donors, is tripling down: he is simply allowing billionaires to plan our future directly, taking out the middlemen.
In case you had any doubt that this is a new form of government worming its way into our old democratic ways, Cuomo anointed these tsars at the exact same time that he took vast new powers away from the state legislature,11 which has not been holding regular legislative hearings since 1 April …
Turning away from locally-elected representatives, and towards billionaires with no accountability, represents a terrible erosion of democratic decision-making: Cuomo is quite literally replacing elected representatives with private, unaccountable monopolists. And too many other lawmakers across the U.S. are doing the same thing.”
The Gates, Soros and Clinton Contact Tracing Group
Whether preplanned or not, the COVID-19 pandemic is clearly being used to usher in highly controversial changes that are unmistakably totalitarian-building, including the private take-over of government through public-private partnerships.
Contact tracing serves as a convenient bridge for this hostile takeover parading as “aid.” Not only is Big Tech offering up contact tracing apps, self-serving billionaires are also funding contact tracing groups that will provide “boots on the ground” services.
For example, Partners in Health — the group selected by Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker to conduct COVID-19 contact tracing using teams of investigators to interview people who test positive — is funded by Gates and one of the richest men in the world, George Soros. The William J. Clinton Foundation has also funded Partners in Health in the past.
Chelsey Clinton sits on its board of trustees, and one of the group’s co-founders, Jim Kim, spent three years at the WHO and is currently the president of the World Bank. He rejoined Partners in Health’s board of directors in January 2019.
UK Demands Answers About COVID Data Deal
Meanwhile, on the other side of the pond, OpenDemocracy and the tech start-up Foxglove are demanding the U.K. government share the details of its patient data deals with Big Tech. In a May 7, 2020, post, OpenDemocracy.net writes:
“Outside of the horrific death toll, perhaps the most far-reaching global consequence of the pandemic is the rapid expansion of surveillance in our daily lives. In the name of beating back the pandemic, governments around the world are giving tech giants extensive access to valuable stores of health data.
Britain is no different. On 28 March, a blog quietly appeared on the website of the cherished National Health Service. It announced what might be the largest handover of NHS patient data to private corporations in history.
U.S. tech giants Amazon, Microsoft, and Google — plus two controversial AI films called Faculty and Palantir — are apparently assisting the NHS in tracking hospital resources and in providing a ‘single source of truth’ about the epidemic, in order to stem its spread.”
While the amount of British health data being shared with these companies has been described as “unprecedented,” the U.K. government has yet to release the details about the partnership.
Suspiciously, Palantir is reportedly providing its COVID-19 Datastore services to the NHS for just £1. This despite the fact that its services are estimated to cost around £88,000 a week, and that’s just for salaries. How and why is Palantir giving away its services for free? The old adage, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch” seems applicable here.
OpenDemocracy also questions how the artificial intelligence (AI) startup Faculty has managed to land seven different government contracts worth nearly £1 million in the last 18 months.
“We have laws in Britain which mean journalists and members of the public can access information about such deals, so that they can answer precisely these sorts of questions. But now the UK government is acting as though these laws no longer apply,” OpenDemocracy writes.
UK Government Ignores FOIA Request
Foxglove submitted Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to the U.K. government on April 3, 2020. A reply is required within 20 working days, yet no response has been forthcoming. The British Information Commissioner’s Office, the independent regulator responsible for FOIA enforcement, has announced it has relaxed enforcement for the duration of the pandemic crisis.
That seems suspiciously convenient, considering deals are being made in secret that shouldn’t be, and panic is being drummed up without much real-world data to support the narrative that we’re still in a high-risk situation.
“Although the wording of the announcement was vague, it risks leaving the public with no practical way to hold the government to account — indefinitely,” OpenDemocracy states, adding:
“We have given the UK government until 11 May to release the information requested about these massive COVID data deals. If they fail to do so, we will consider seeking answers in the courts.
The public urgently needs to know not only how their personal information is being traded, and who has access to it. But also whether this pandemic means that our rights to ask questions, and to scrutinize the actions of our leaders, are fundamentally compromised. COVID-19 cannot be an excuse for governments and corporations to avoid accountability.”
Tech Initiative Seeks to Alter Global Behavior
Anyone still living under the misguided spell that governments’ responses to this pandemic are simply temporary emergency measures need to rapidly reassess. As reported by Vox,23 tech billionaires like Gates and Schmidt are hard at work trying to convince governments and the public at large that only they can save us from another pandemic.
Such is the focus of the Pandemic Action Network, responsible for the #MaskingForAFriend Twitter campaign, pushed by Hillary Clinton and other celebrities.
“… the #MaskingForAFriend campaign … seeks to change personal behavior. But its more important ambition is to change government behavior,” Vox writes.
“This initiative is one of the more forward-looking attempts from philanthropy to shape what the world looks like after the crisis, and one of the few focused on political advocacy. The push is small for now, with just $1.5 million in initial cash from Schmidt Futures, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and other backers.
But the Pandemic Action Network aims to lead a pressure campaign that shapes the policy debate, a debate that will be at the fore of the next wave of pandemic response efforts.”
Digital Health Passports Coming to 15 Nations
A lead-in to global totalitarianism, predicated on protecting public health and preventing another pandemic, is the issuance of “digital health passports.” According to the British tech magazine Verdict, coronavirus digital health passports are now being supplied to 15 nations.
The passport is “designed to make it easier for individuals to return to work after the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic” — as if we’ve never been able to return to normal life after any other epidemic or pandemic scare. In a May 11, 2020, article Verdict reports:
“These countries will include Italy, Portugal, France, Panama, India, the U.S., Canada, Sweden, Spain, South Africa, Mexico, United Arab Emirates and The Netherlands, with the goal of supplying 50 million digital health passports … The Covi-pass will work using a color system of green, amber, red to indicate whether the individual has tested positive or negative for Covid-19 and relevant health information.
Firstly, the user downloads the app and enters key information such as name, address, age and verifies their identity using their fingerprint or a facial scan.
They then take a Covid-19 test, administered by an authorized healthcare professional, and the results are scanned into the Covi-pass. They can then use the digital health passport to authenticate their health status to enable ‘a safe return to work, life, and safe travel.’”
According to Covipass.com, the app will display “your COVID-19 test history and immunoresponse and other relevant health information.”
As I’ve stated before, a RT-PCR (reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) test result is basically worthless, since a) it merely detects the presence of SARS-CoV-2 genetic material, not the actual virus, and b) you can get infected at any time after you get your test results, rendering the “verification” of your infection status null and void.
According to a recent speech by U.S. President Donald Trump, his administration is mobilizing the military to distribute the vaccine once ready, which could be as early as the end of 2020.
At the same time, the U.S. Senate has voted to renew federal surveillance powers that would otherwise have expired, and an ill-named bill, HR 6666, would put the government in charge of COVID-19 tracking and tracing, costing taxpayers a whopping $100 billion.

Virus Surveillance and Civil Liberties Collide
As predicted in a Law360 article published April 26, 2020, virus surveillance is now colliding head-on with civil liberties:
“Imagine your phone buzzing with an alert: Someone who passed you at the grocery store has tested positive for COVID-19. Based on location data transmitted through a smart phone app, authorities believe the stranger exposed you to the coronavirus. You might be infected.
The alert directs you to self-quarantine for 14 days to prevent further spread of the deadly disease. In the app, a map of color-coded dots displays the population of your home town. You notice the dot associated with you, previously green, has turned to yellow — now everyone else with the app knows you could be dangerous.
Whether the scenario sounds Orwellian or absolutely necessary could depend on your answer to a rhetorical question Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, recently posed during a live Snapchat interview. ‘Do you give up a little liberty to get a little protection?’ he said.”
The answer to that question should be a resounding “no.” The idea that government can keep you safe against a virus by giving up your civil liberties is a fantasy that must be outgrown. As noted by CNN Business:
“It took the attacks of September 11, 2001 to shove aside the previous decade’s phobia of mass surveillance, and usher in an era where many of us imagined the state was probably skimming our emails, in exchange for keeping us safe from terror.
Over the next 15 years, billions of people agreed to a tacit deal where Facebook or Google were permitted to learn a staggering amount about them in exchange for free access to messaging apps, news, and shared pictures … Eventually, that mutated into the heights exemplified by Cambridge Analytica — private companies hoovering up the online lives of tens of millions in order to try to sway elections.
But the challenge presented by Covid-19 — and the urgent need to trace contacts and movements — is of another scale of intimacy … Technology is again claiming the mantle of the savior … embedding into our phones anonymous methods of knowing who we may have infected and when … If they become ubiquitous, where does this new scrutiny end? … Will we look back at 2020 as the moment privacy finally evaporated?”
It’s time to fully recognize that surveillance has become the biggest for-profit industry on the planet, and your entire existence is now being targeted for profit.
For a better understanding of what you’re giving up by going along with the mainstream narrative that we need Big Tech to save us, see my article about social psychologist and Harvard professor Shoshana Zuboff and her extraordinary book, “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism.”

Strongest Solar Flare in Years Coincides with Riots , Reminding Us that Solar Activity and Unrest are Historically Linked With so many dramatic and consuming events taking place in our world , it ’ s easy to forget that as human beings we are deeply affected by all of the cosmic events taking place in the universe around us .
We are beings of frequency in a universe made of energy .

Strongest Solar Flare in Years Coincides with Riots, Reminding Us that Solar Activity and Unrest are Historically Linked
Dylan Charles, Editor
Waking Times
With so many dramatic and consuming events taking place in our world, it’s easy to forget that as human beings we are deeply affected by all of the cosmic events taking place in the universe around us. We are beings of frequency in a universe made of energy.
Major civil unrest, protesting and rioting began to foment in the United States on the 28th of May, and on the night of the 29th, the unrest spread to over 30 American cities, marking the most significant incident of unrest many of us have ever seen.
While these events are deeply rooted in societal tension that has been building for decades, the timing of recent flare ups of unrest happens to coincide with a new wave of solar activity including the strongest solar flare we’ve seen in three years.
“Solar flares are intense blooms of radiation that come from the release of the magnetic energy associated with sunspots. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ranks solar flares using five categories from weakest to stongest: A, B, C, M, and X. Each category is 10 times stronger than the one before it. Within each category, a flare is ranked from 1 to 9, according to strength, although X-class flares can go higher than 9. According to NASA, the most powerful solar flare recorded was an X28 (in 2003).” [Source]
Spaceweather reported on May 29th:
THE SUN IS FLARING AGAIN: Today, the sun produced its strongest solar flare in nearly 3 years. The M-class explosion came from a new-cycle sunspot hidden just behind the sun’s northeastern limb. This weekend, the blast site will turn to face Earth, so future flares, if they continue, could become geoeffective. Visit Spaceweather.com for updates.
Following up today, May 30th, Spaceweather reports:
SOLAR MINIMUM, INTERRUPTED: Yesterday, in the pits of the deepest Solar Minimum of the Space Age, the sun unleashed a flurry of solar flares. One of them, an M1-class explosion, was the strongest flare in nearly 3 years. The source of the activity is now turning toward Earth as it rotates into view over the sun’s northeastern limb: The question now: What is it? Early views of the emerging active region suggest that it is a relatively small sunspot surrounded by a vast field of magnetic froth (plage). The magnetic polarity of the region marks it as a member of new Solar Cycle 25.
Solar activity typically follows cycles of around 11 years, and cycle 24 ended last year. In April of 2019, scientists predicted that the next 11 year cycle, Cycle 25, would begin sometime between mid 2019 and early 2020.
“Lisa Upton, a solar physicist with Space Systems Research Corporation and co-chair of the panel issuing predictions, said Cycle 25 should begin between mid-2019 and late 2020 and that it should reach its maximum between 2023 and 2026, when between 95 and 130 sunspots are projected. Average is between 140 and 220 sunspots.” [Source]
In 2019, NASA warned that the coming Cycle 25 could produce ‘monster flares’ within the next few years.
As Minneapolis burns and the violence spreads, it appears that Cycle 25 may be kicking off, and given current events, we could be in for a wild ride, as many have recognized a historical link between increased solar activity and major disruptive and revolutionary events for human societies.
The last major solar flares occurred in 2017: an M-class on October 20th, and an X-class flare, which is the largest, on September 1oth, 2017.
In August of 2017, the Unite the Right rally took place in Charlottesville, VA, where, Heather Heyer, was killed and almost 2 dozen other protestors were injured. Later, on September 15th, large protests erupted in St.Louis when police officer when police Jason Stockley was acquitted of murder in the shooting death of Anthony Lamar Smith in 2011.
The year 2003 saw eight of the fifty most powerful solar flares recorded since 1986. This was the same year the Iraq war began, the 6-day Benton Harbor riot in Michigan occurred, and the Miami FTAA protests happened.
Another eight of the fifty most powerful flares since 1986 occurred in 2001, a year that will live in infamy for the events of 9/11, with a large X-class flare and several M-class flares occurring within a week of the destruction of the Twin Towers.
A massive X-class flare was recorded in February of 1992, just prior to the devastating Los Angeles riots.
According to Adam Michalec, there is a long-standing connection between human activity and solar events, especially unrest and violent revolution.
“Dates of historical events are compared with moments of solar maxima, beginning from the year 1750. It turns out that violent occurrences in Europe (like revolutions) are correlated with the periods of enhanced solar activity.” [Source]
In a document entitled Solar Activity and Human History, Michalec offers the following graph correlating human events and increased solar activity.
While the connection to human behavior and major societal events is yet to be fully understood, interesting research has been done Soviet era scientist A.L. Tchijevsky, in which he hypothesized that increased solar activity has an ‘exciting effect‘ on human beings, affecting our nervous system.
The most famous research was been done by professor A.L. Tchijevsky, a Russian scientist, who presented a paper to the American Meteorological Society at Philadelphia in the late 19th century. He prepared a study of the history of mass human movement compared to the solar cycle, beginning with the division of the Solar cycle into four parts: 1) Minimum sunspot activity; 2) increasing sunspot activity; 3) maximum sunspot activity; 4) Decreasing sunspot activity. He then divided up the agitation of mass human movements into five phases: 1) provoking influence of leaders upon masses
2) the “exciting” effect of emphasized ideas upon the masses

4) the extensive areas covered by mass movements
5) Integration and individualization of the masses By these comparisons he constructed an “Index of Mass Human Excitability” covering each year from 500 B.C. to 1922 A.D. He investigated the histories of 72 countries in that period, noting signs of human unrest such as wars, revolutions, riots, expeditions and migrations, plus the number of humans involved. Tchijevsky found that fully 80% of the most significant events occurred during the years of maximum sunspot activity. He maintained that the “exciting” period may be explained by an acute change in the nervous and psychic character of humanity, which takes place at sunspot maxima.” [Source]
Final Thoughts
As we all watch and wait to see just how much crazier 2020 can get, it’s easy to lose perspective on the big picture.
In reality, we are all made of stardust, we’re here for a cosmic blink of an eye, and when we die our bodies return to being stardust and our souls move on to something bigger than any of us can possibly grasp.
The events in front of us right now may seem like a huge deal, but there is so much more happening beyond our perception.

Wireless radiation is ubiquitous in the world today but had only gained widespread use several decades ago. With the quickness in which it has been rolled out and utilized, many people have started to question its long-term impact, both on the environment and our health.
While many exciting changes have occurred as a result of the technology, like wireless internet and cell phones, evidence suggests there may be some serious trade-offs as well.
In a nine-year study on the effect of radiation from cellphone towers on nearby trees, researchers found that the electromagnetic emissions they produce cause ‘high-level damage’ to trees within range of the masts.
The study was conducted in Bamberg and Hallstadt, Germany using over 100 trees. After recording photographic and observational data, along with a measurement of electromagnetic radiation in the area, the scientists found that radiation did cause significant damage to nearby trees.
“This constitutes a danger for trees worldwide,” they researchers say, calling for more “scientific research on trees under the real radio-frequency field conditions.”
Also noted in the study is the fact that natural electromagnetic radiation emitted by the Earth and Sun does not have the same adverse effect as exposure to unnatural radiation, but most scientists seem uninterested in conducting further research on the topic.
“These results are consistent with the fact that damage inflicted on trees by cellphone towers usually start on one side, extending to the whole tree over time.” – Cornelia Waldmann-Selsam, Study Author [SOURCE]
In fact, this isn’t the first study to conclude that wireless radiation has a harmful effect on plant life. In 2010, researchers in the Netherlands conducted a study on the impact of Wi-Fi on deciduous trees and concurred that exposure led to signs of radiation sickness such as “bleeding and fissures in the bark,” and a “lead-like shine” on their leaves.
“In the Netherlands, a whopping 70% of urban trees are suffering from radiation poisoning, up from only 10% five years ago,” Popular Science reports.
In addition to its damaging effect on trees, wireless radiation is shown to cause adverse effects on humans as well. “Oxidative stress, sperm/testicular damage, neuropsychiatric effects including EEG changes, apoptosis, cellular DNA damage, endocrine changes, and calcium overload” are some of the most pernicious results which can arise from excess exposure to Wi-Fi, according to a 2018 paper published in the Environmental Research Journal.
It is important to note that the dangers of wireless radiation are even more pronounced with 5G. While the world waits under lockdown amid fears of Covid-19 making a harsher return, corporations are erecting 5G masts at record pace. Even more shocking, Elon Musk recently acquired the necessary approval to launch up to 42,000 satellites which will blanket the Earth in harmful 5G radiation.
However, making note of the incredible lack of safety testing being conducted prior to the implementation of 5G, Scientific American, the longest-running science journal in America, issued a warning about 5G stating directly in the title, “We Have No Reason to Believe 5G is Safe.”
However, corporations keep rolling out newer and more powerful versions of these dangerous technologies despite evidence showing the harm they cause.
On the effect of wireless radiation on trees, the researchers write:
“The measurements of all trees revealed significant differences between the damaged side facing a phone mast and the opposite side, as well as differences between the exposed side of damaged trees and all other groups of trees in both sides. Thus, we found that side differences in measured values of power flux density corresponded to side differences in damage. The 30 selected trees in low radiation areas… showed no damage. Statistical analysis demonstrated that electromagnetic radiation from mobile phone masts is harmful for trees.”
Concerned scientists and citizens have been sounding the alarm about the dangers that 5G and other wireless radiation pose for many years, but to no avail. As research into the effects of these technologies on our health and environment remain underfunded and sidelined, it may take some time before we can appreciate their true impact.
