humansarefree--2020-03-20--The Purpose of the Federal Reserve Banking System

Do Probability and Statistics interest you ?
Perhaps not .
But what about the secret workings of a casino ?
They are but two sides of the same coin .
One side is science , the other application .
Economics is the science of the production , distribution and consumption of goods and services .
The application of economics , if honed to a specific , razor sharp intention becomes the most powerful weapon on Earth .
This weapon is called the Central Banking system .
No country owns this weapon .
It is wielded by a tiny circle of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are largely hidden , but it is abundantly clear they owe allegiance to no country , despot or political ideology .
They deploy this weapon at their own discretion .
We are the frogs in the proverbial pot of water and they are controlling the stove .
In the 2019 fiscal year the United States Government will spend 1.1 trillion dollars more than it will collect in taxes .
( source ) This number is called the “ budget deficit.
” Operating with a budget deficit is nothing new in our government ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on for decades , independent of which party has controlled the White House or Congress .
If you were to add together all the deficits over the years you would arrive at a sum of approximately 22 trillion dollars .
This number is called the “ national debt.
” The ability to “ pay off ” this debt seems impossible , yet we continue to operate more or less the same way , borrowing more and more to meet our country ’ s obligation to social services , defense , infrastructure , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people are aware of these staggering numbers , yet few of us seem to consider basic questions about the system , like “ Where does the money come from ?
” or “ Who would be stupid enough to continue lending us these sums given our poor track record of even balancing our budget ?
” The answers to these questions are astounding and can lead to an understanding of our nation ’ s history and monetary system that is absolutely necessary to put nearly every aspect of geopolitics into perspective .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” author G. Edward Griffin adeptly leads the reader on an intriguing exploration of the origin of money , lending and the banking system and its codependence with the governance of people .
Through his thorough examination of military conflicts , the rise and fall of governments and repeated taxpayer funded bailouts , Mr. Griffin makes it abundantly clear that human history has been driven more by the inner workings of centralized banking and not the will of individuals or even the apparent vision of their appointed leaders .
The Federal Reserve , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brought into existence by Congress in 1913 , is part of a global system of centralized banking that has been devised for a purpose unseen and much different than what the public and most of our elected leaders and legislators believe .
The result of this system , as evidenced by repeated examples , has not been to stabilize economies but to destabilize them .
In his diligent and erudite analysis , Mr. Griffin goes further in asserting that this has been the intention of the founders of the modern banking system all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is useful to first consider how this is accomplished before understanding why it is done in the first place .
A full analysis of this subject is obviously beyond the scope of a single article .
However , we can still arrive at a basic understanding of the system and its repercussions here .
As stated above , the total national debt is on the order of 22 trillion dollars as of 2019 .
However , according to The Federal Reserve there is only about 1.7 trillion dollars of currency in circulation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dollars ?
Clearly , it exists only as numbers attached to accounts existing in computer memory .
Monetary transactions are no longer dominated by the exchange of currency backed by a commodity ( like gold or silver ) , they are instead represented by the increase of a receiver ’ s account balance that corresponds to the equivalent decrement in the account of the payer .
This , of course , seems like a reasonable system that is equitable to both parties .
However , if you examine it more closely , certain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did the money come from in the first place ?
The total amount of money in circulation in 1950 was approximately 27 billion dollars .
How do we now have 60 times more money ?
The answer is that it was created by our banks and the Federal Reserve , an institution uniquely endowed by our government to “ print ” money at its own discretion .
This should strike you as unnerving for two reasons .
First , our elected officials do not decide when more money is put into circulation , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Federal Reserve that acts independently .
Second , why is there ever a reason to do this in the first place ?
Clearly , the amount of goods and services generated by the country has grown with our population and its concomitant increase in our labor force .
Also , innovation in manufacturing and the development of technologies have given rise to less expensive ways to make stuff .
We have also engineered methods for extracting our natural resources , making the required raw materials more abundantly available for industry .
These changes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goods and services that ultimately will dictate what things cost .
These are the “ market ” forces that capitalism relies upon to self-regulate and ostensibly create an environment for innovation .
If the amount of money in circulation is left untouched , prices will continually readjust to represent the total value of the total amount of goods and services generated by an economy .
There should never be a need to put more money into circulation .
Where does money actually come from ?
The expansion of the supply of money is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ legal tender than it is by the “ creation ” of debt .
To illustrate this , let us consider a simplistic model of how a bank works .
First , a bank serves as a secure place to store depositor ’ s money .
The bank issues the depositor a receipt of deposit .
Long ago these receipts were recognized as being more convenient than actually using coins to facilitate transactions .
The “ money ” was in a vault , but the receipts of deposit , when they began to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , began functioning as money itself .
Griffin explains that this form of money is termed “ receipt money.
” The modern representation of this convenience has taken the form of checking accounts .
When the bank acts as a lending institution , it can also provide depositors with an added incentive to keep their holdings there in the form of interest .
The bank can pay this interest on its deposits by lending this money out to other customers in the form of mortgages , business and personal loans , etc .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ sums .
The ability of private citizens and industry to have access to money to purchase homes or invest in their businesses or education allows for economic growth and a higher standard of living and is generally considered a good thing and something we all depend upon .
When we receive a loan to purchase something that we can not “ afford ” we understand that it has not been given to us for free .
We will pay for it over time .
In fact , we will pay more for it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it outright .
The higher the rate of interest and the longer the term of the loan , the more we end up paying .
In the case of a home mortgage paid over thirty years the borrower ends up paying several times the amount they borrowed .
This is all spelled out to the borrower when they sign the promissory note and agree to the terms .
However , there is something insidious happening when banks lend money today .
The money that gets lent is not possessed by the bank , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the money .
The depositors are free to continue to withdraw from their accounts , meanwhile the borrowers also have access to the very same pool of money .
When your bank loans a sum of money to another party the amount in your account there does not get reduced .
So , where does the money come from ?
The bank is essentially creating money out of debt and subsequently collecting interest on it .
This money is added to circulation and when this happens , the value of every single dollar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go up .
This is inflation , and it can exact a devastating toll on the system depending on how much debt is created .
As amazing as it may seem , banks are only required to keep available a fraction ( 10 % or less ) of the amount of money they lend on hand to meet the needs of their depositors .
Clearly there may come a time when a large number of depositors demand their money to be returned at the same time .
This is the dreaded “ run @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bank into insolvency .
However , this rarely happens these days for two reasons .
One is based upon the confidence we place on our banking institutions to make sound loans and upon the economy in general .
As long as we are confident that the bank will return our money if we asked , we won ’ t demand it back .
Secondly , banks operating in the central banking system are able to borrow money from other banks to meet the demands of their depositors when needed .
The Fed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ setting us up for bigger failures The Federal Reserve , with the power Congress has endowed it with , sets standards for the portion of money banks within its system are allowed to loan compared to the money in their “ vaults.
” Because the profitability of the bank is directly related to the amount of money they loan out , banks are motivated to maximize the amount they lend .
Furthermore , because a lifeline to more money through other banks exists , there is little reason for any individual bank to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ common lending practices it becomes clear that no individual bank will be allowed to go bankrupt .
However , there now exists the possibility that many or all banks may fail simultaneously with a deep and widespread dive in consumer confidence and/or an accumulation of a great amount of bad debt .
Note that the latter will automatically give rise to the former as in the case of the great recession of 2008 when it became recognized that a massive number of irresponsible home loans were made over the course of a decade @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is made clear to the public that a dire situation is at hand and it would result in major suffering for all if the government didn ’ t intervene .
Government steps in by infusing the banking system with large sums of money .
This money does not exist anywhere .
It is created on the fly by the issuance of government bonds , essentially IOUs .
But who would be willing to accept government IOUs in such a crisis ?
Nobody .
Nobody , except the Federal Reserve .
Through the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ floods the system with essentially a limitless amount of “ money.
” This money did not come from the sale of goods and services or gold bars from the treasury .
This money is ink on paper called Federal Reserve Checks which are used to fund government debt and ultimately result in greater balances in commercial bank accounts when the government spends it .
The crisis gets averted .
Or does it ?
In the short run , the economy does not grind to a halt , and we laud the intervention as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been no increase in the amount of goods , commodities or services that the nation possesses .
There is just more money out there .
When that happens , the value of every single piece of currency , including the money in your wallet , drops .
We grumble at the necessity of more taxes and less governmental services but few taxpayers realize the extent that their own wealth has been decremented by an unseen cost called inflation , the direct cause of poor lending practices of our banks .
We are told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a number of vague and complex reasons having to do with rarely agreed upon economic theories and a failure of our leaders to appreciate them .
In fact , the reasons are simple .
We have a system where banks can and will make the most profit if they make more loans .
When they fail , the Federal Reserve ultimately steps in by creating more debt , which we shoulder by allowing our earnings and savings to be devalued .
Let us briefly review .
The Federal Reserve has united most banks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ effectively prevents individual banks from defaulting on their obligations , but creates a situation where a nationwide or global banking crisis can occur .
When ( not if ) that occurs , the Fed has an understanding with the government that it will infuse the system with money by “ buying ” government debt ( in the form of government bonds ) that will be used to “ salvage ” the system .
The public will eventually pay for this in two ways .
First , through the obligation to repay the debt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as money floods the system .
It should be clear then that this maneuver is designed to keep lending institutions in perpetual business aggrandizing their wealth .
Central Banks make money by doing nothing It is important at this point to look more closely at the money making machine the banks use for generating profit .
Recall that banks are only required to hold no more than ten percent of their deposits ( assets ) on hand and are free to loan out the rest .
However , there is a greater harm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s definition of an “ asset.
” Let us say that a bank holds $ 1,000,000 in deposits .
It can write $ 900,000 worth of loans on that money keeping $ 100,000 , or 10 % of it on its books as “ reserves.
” That money loaned out does not exist , it is created the moment the loan is written .
Once written , that loan , effectively the promise of the borrower to pay it back , is now considered an asset of the bank too !
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ loans of 90 % of that “ asset ” ( or another $ 810,000 ) as well .
Once the second round of loans go out , they too are considered assets .
This iterative process effectively allows the bank to “ loan ” out $ 9 for every $ 1 it was given as a deposit .
The bank uses the one million dollars in deposits ( reserves ) to “ create ” nine million dollars in debt and , of course , earn interest on it .
The term “ earn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The bank provides no real service , creates no tangible product , does no labor and assumes little risk yet is able to collect a continuous stream of money from assets that never existed until the moment someone agreed to borrow from them .
This is called “ fractional reserve banking ” and as shocking as it seems , it exists wherever an economy has abandoned a commodity ( gold or silver ) backed currency .
In other words , everywhere .
The Fed makes the most when we are at War @ @ @ @ @ @ @ assertion that the system has been designed to create instability , we can see that the banking system reaps the greatest benefit when needs exceed resources .
The Federal Reserve ( and any central bank ) has the sole authority to create money when the need for debt arises .
Is it unreasonable that central banks , functioning without accountability to any authority , government or otherwise , would welcome every opportunity to exert this power , especially when it is so lucrative to them ?
If we were to examine the situation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we would regard global events in the context of debt .
What kind of event creates the greatest and most urgent need for resources ?
War .
War requires a nation to redirect their youth away from the creation of goods and services and into military service .
There is the cost of munitions , fuel , care for the wounded and ultimately reparations .
The bigger and the longer the war the better … if you were a central banker .
The Greatest Conspiracy in our history is still in play today @ @ @ @ @ @ @ between central banking and governmental war machines ?
This may be obvious to some , but to many this approaches absurdity .
A government for and by the people seems too powerful to be influenced by financiers and monetary policy makers .
If banking insiders had any influence over our elected officials , the media would bring immediate public attention to it , right ?
In order for this kind of treachery to take place it would require the hidden collaboration of a very small group of extremely influential persons in government , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be a conspiracy , which many believe would be impossible today .
There is no question that it has happened in the past .
As detailed in “ The Creature from Jekyll Island , ” the United States entered WWI after The Lusitania , a massive British liner with 195 American civilians on board , was sunk by a German U-boat attack .
Prior to setting sail from New York , The Lusitania was loaded with tons of weaponry including six million rounds of ammunition purchased with funds raised for England through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This was done in broad daylight with the ship ’ s manifest a matter of public record .
The German government protested that using such a ship to transport weapons was in direct violation of international neutrality treaties .
The American government denied this was taking place .
The German embassy then appealed to the American people directly , placing ads in newspapers urging them not to book passage on The Lusitania as it represented a strategic target that would fall under German attack .
The U.S. State Department prevented these warnings from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ P. Morgan , one of the chief architects of the newly created Federal Reserve , was profiting from selling English and French bonds to American investors to raise money for their war effort against Germany .
In addition , the two countries spent significant sums on products purchased from companies in Morgan ’ s control .
When it became clear that Germany was nearing victory through their control of shipping lanes in the Atlantic with their U-boats , Morgan ’ s income stream was threatened .
England , France and the American investing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saved if the United States entered the war against Germany .
At the time this seemed a practical impossibility as Woodrow Wilson , approaching reelection , was riding a broad anti-war sentiment sweeping the country .
This all changed when the The Lusitania sank .
Morgan had , in the meantime , purchased control over major segments of the media and flooded the public with pro-war editorial .
The media , the banks and our government worked together to see that America entered WWI on April 6 , 1917 .
War expenditures , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expansion engineered by The Fed .
Between 1915 and 1920 the monetary supply doubled and the value of our currency dropped by nearly 50 % .
WWI is one of many examples in our planet ’ s history where the spoils of war went largely to the inner circles of the banking system that often finance both sides of conflicts .
If this version of history still seems too incredible to believe , consider this : How often would a nation engage in war if it didn ’ t have the money to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , unless they have a central banking system .
Conventional history books paint our species ’ long tradition of conflict as good vs. evil or liberty vs. tyranny while characterizing dictators and their ideologies as threats to the greater good .
The real threat is hidden in plain sight and is far more diabolical , as it is not confined by borders or allegiance to governments that inevitably rise and fall .

The identities of these people are largely hidden, but it is abundantly clear they owe allegiance to no country, despot or political ideology.

Some basics …
In the 2019 fiscal year the United States Government will spend 1.1 trillion dollars more than it will collect in taxes.(source) This number is called the “budget deficit.”
Operating with a budget deficit is nothing new in our government’s history. This has been going on for decades, independent of which party has controlled the White House or Congress.
If you were to add together all the deficits over the years you would arrive at a sum of approximately 22 trillion dollars. This number is called the “national debt.”
The ability to “pay off” this debt seems impossible, yet we continue to operate more or less the same way, borrowing more and more to meet our country’s obligation to social services, defense, infrastructure, and obligations to our debt holders.
Most people are aware of these staggering numbers, yet few of us seem to consider basic questions about the system, like “Where does the money come from?” or “Who would be stupid enough to continue lending us these sums given our poor track record of even balancing our budget?”
The answers to these questions are astounding and can lead to an understanding of our nation’s history and monetary system that is absolutely necessary to put nearly every aspect of geopolitics into perspective.

Show me the money
As stated above, the total national debt is on the order of 22 trillion dollars as of 2019. However, according to The Federal Reserve there is only about 1.7 trillion dollars of currency in circulation. Where are the other 20 trillion dollars?
Clearly, it exists only as numbers attached to accounts existing in computer memory.
Monetary transactions are no longer dominated by the exchange of currency backed by a commodity (like gold or silver), they are instead represented by the increase of a receiver’s account balance that corresponds to the equivalent decrement in the account of the payer.

The Fed is a Monetary Cartel that has been setting us up for bigger failures
The Federal Reserve, with the power Congress has endowed it with, sets standards for the portion of money banks within its system are allowed to loan compared to the money in their “vaults.”
Because the profitability of the bank is directly related to the amount of money they loan out, banks are motivated to maximize the amount they lend. Furthermore, because a lifeline to more money through other banks exists, there is little reason for any individual bank to be conservative.
By uniting banks under common lending practices it becomes clear that no individual bank will be allowed to go bankrupt.
However, there now exists the possibility that many or all banks may fail simultaneously with a deep and widespread dive in consumer confidence and/or an accumulation of a great amount of bad debt.
Note that the latter will automatically give rise to the former as in the case of the great recession of 2008 when it became recognized that a massive number of irresponsible home loans were made over the course of a decade.

Let us briefly review. The Federal Reserve has united most banks to accept universal lending practices. This effectively prevents individual banks from defaulting on their obligations, but creates a situation where a nationwide or global banking crisis can occur.
When (not if) that occurs, the Fed has an understanding with the government that it will infuse the system with money by “buying” government debt (in the form of government bonds) that will be used to “salvage” the system.

Central Banks make money by doing nothing
It is important at this point to look more closely at the money making machine the banks use for generating profit. Recall that banks are only required to hold no more than ten percent of their deposits (assets) on hand and are free to loan out the rest.
However, there is a greater harm they can exact through our banking system’s definition of an “asset.” Let us say that a bank holds $1,000,000 in deposits. It can write $900,000 worth of loans on that money keeping $100,000, or 10% of it on its books as “reserves.”

The bank uses the one million dollars in deposits (reserves) to “create” nine million dollars in debt and, of course, earn interest on it. The term “earn” is highly questionable in this scheme.
The bank provides no real service, creates no tangible product, does no labor and assumes little risk yet is able to collect a continuous stream of money from assets that never existed until the moment someone agreed to borrow from them.
This is called “fractional reserve banking” and as shocking as it seems, it exists wherever an economy has abandoned a commodity (gold or silver) backed currency. In other words, everywhere.
The Fed makes the most when we are at War
Turning back to Mr. Griffin’s assertion that the system has been designed to create instability, we can see that the banking system reaps the greatest benefit when needs exceed resources. The Federal Reserve (and any central bank) has the sole authority to create money when the need for debt arises.
Is it unreasonable that central banks, functioning without accountability to any authority, government or otherwise, would welcome every opportunity to exert this power, especially when it is so lucrative to them?

Morgan had, in the meantime, purchased control over major segments of the media and flooded the public with pro-war editorial. The media, the banks and our government worked together to see that America entered WWI on April 6, 1917.
War expenditures, as always, were fueled by monetary expansion engineered by The Fed. Between 1915 and 1920 the monetary supply doubled and the value of our currency dropped by nearly 50%.
WWI is one of many examples in our planet’s history where the spoils of war went largely to the inner circles of the banking system that often finance both sides of conflicts.
If this version of history still seems too incredible to believe, consider this: How often would a nation engage in war if it didn’t have the money to pay for it?
Nations rarely do, unless they have a central banking system. Conventional history books paint our species’ long tradition of conflict as good vs. evil or liberty vs. tyranny while characterizing dictators and their ideologies as threats to the greater good.
The real threat is hidden in plain sight and is far more diabolical, as it is not confined by borders or allegiance to governments that inevitably rise and fall.

humansarefree--2020-03-20--Update: High Dose Vitamin C Used for 50 Cases of Coronavirus (Moderate to Severe) Successfully Treat

Update: High Dose Vitamin C Used for 50 Cases of Coronavirus (Moderate to Severe) Successfully Treated in China Hospital

Dr. Richard Cheng has been updating everyone via his YouTube channel about vitamin C treatment cases out of China .
We have been covering his updates as he is in direct contact with this treatment and isn ’ t simply an armchair scientist at the moment .
We feel in this time this is a very important detail as he is seeing and hearing results first hand , not simply theoretically .
Dr. Cheng was paramount in bringing high dose vitamin C to the table as part of potential treatment and prevention measures .
Unfortunately in the West , this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of mainstream media and governments are not talking about it .
Instead , it ’ s fear and chaos which we do not feel serves anyone to stay healthy or get better .
I believe this is a great aspect of this journey to reflect on as it tells us where loyalties lie when it comes to government and pharma .
It also illustrates the power of fear and separation culture as opposed to unity .
A group of medical doctors , healthcare providers and scientists met online March 17 , 2020 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intravenous vitamin C ( IVC ) in the treatment of moderate to severe cases of Covid-19 patients .
Dr. Enqian Mao was in attendance , he is the chief of emergency medicine department at Ruijin Hospital , a major hospital in Shanghai , affiliated with the Joatong University College of Medicine .
Dr. Mao is also a member of the Senior Expert Team at the Shanghai Public Health Center , where all Covid-19 patients have been treated .
Dr. Mao stated that his group treated about 50 cases of moderate to severe cases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Dosing of IVC ranged from 10,000 mg – 20,000 mg a day for 7-10 days , with 10,000 mg for moderate cases and 20,000 for more severe cases .
The first bit of good news was that all patients who received IVC improved and there was no mortality .
Secondly , as compared to the average of a 30-day hospital stay for all Covid-19 patients , those patients who received high dose IVC had a hospital stay about 3-5 days shorter than the overall patients .
Dr. Mao also discussed one particularly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rapidly .
An extra of 50,000 mg IVC dosage was given over a period of 4 hours and it caused the patient ’ s pulmonary ( oxygenation index ) status to stabilize and improve as the critical care team watched in real time .
Thus far , there were no seen or reported side effects from any of the cases treated with high dose IVC .
This strikes me as interesting news because it has been no secret that Vitamin C treatments , and even clinical trials , are happening in China , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where the Donald Trump was addressing the American people , Dr. Deborah Birx , part of his COVID-19 task force , talked about how they are watching what other countries are doing , yet there is still no mention of harmless treatments like vitamin C. Only vaccines and ventilators .
Ventilators are certainly important for more extreme case patients , but is it really the case that we are to wait for a potentially unsafe and ineffectively vaccine without talking about simple and inexpensive treatment options that could even ease public fear ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the people , where does government loyalty lie ?
Perhaps it ’ s with the industry that spends two times more than what any other lobby does in congress .
Would it not be inspiring to see health leaders come on the news and say “ Hey , we don ’ t know for sure if these things will work , just like any other drug or vaccine , but we do know they are harmless if done this way etc.
” And then indicate to people how to eat properly , take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
To me , this would feel like we truly are pulling out all the stops to unify and help one another , but instead , it feels like another opportunity to push side effect ridden drugs .
This is where I feel we can see the need for a shift from a culture of disconnection and scarcity , to one of connection and abundance .
Remember , scarcity in our society today is 100 % manmade , it is a factor of our economic design , it isn ’ t real .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ out by printing money out of thin air .
This means the same could be done for healthcare , supplements , people ’ s debt etc , but it isn ’ t done because the majority need to be financially weaker for the rich to have their cake .

Dr. Richard Cheng has been updating everyone via his YouTube channel about vitamin C treatment cases out of China.
We have been covering his updates as he is in direct contact with this treatment and isn’t simply an armchair scientist at the moment.
We feel in this time this is a very important detail as he is seeing and hearing results first hand, not simply theoretically.
Dr. Cheng was paramount in bringing high dose vitamin C to the table as part of potential treatment and prevention measures.
Unfortunately in the West, this option is still being denied by much of mainstream media and governments are not talking about it.

It also illustrates the power of fear and separation culture as opposed to unity.
A group of medical doctors, healthcare providers and scientists met online March 17, 2020, to discuss the use of high dose intravenous vitamin C (IVC) in the treatment of moderate to severe cases of Covid-19 patients.
Dr. Enqian Mao was in attendance, he is the chief of emergency medicine department at Ruijin Hospital, a major hospital in Shanghai, affiliated with the Joatong University College of Medicine.
Dr. Mao is also a member of the Senior Expert Team at the Shanghai Public Health Center, where all Covid-19 patients have been treated.
Dr. Mao stated that his group treated about 50 cases of moderate to severe cases of Covid-19 infection with high dose IVC. Dosing of IVC ranged from 10,000 mg – 20,000 mg a day for 7-10 days, with 10,000 mg for moderate cases and 20,000 for more severe cases.
The first bit of good news was that all patients who received IVC improved and there was no mortality.
Secondly, as compared to the average of a 30-day hospital stay for all Covid-19 patients, those patients who received high dose IVC had a hospital stay about 3-5 days shorter than the overall patients.
Dr. Mao also discussed one particularly severe case where the patient was deteriorating rapidly.
An extra of 50,000 mg IVC dosage was given over a period of 4 hours and it caused the patient’s pulmonary (oxygenation index) status to stabilize and improve as the critical care team watched in real time.
Thus far, there were no seen or reported side effects from any of the cases treated with high dose IVC.
Some Thoughts
This strikes me as interesting news because it has been no secret that Vitamin C treatments, and even clinical trials, are happening in China, and yet during a press conference yesterday where the Donald Trump was addressing the American people, Dr. Deborah Birx, part of his COVID-19 task force, talked about how they are watching what other countries are doing, yet there is still no mention of harmless treatments like vitamin C.
Only jjabs and ventilators. Ventilators are certainly important for more extreme case patients, but is it really the case that we are to wait for a potentially unsafe and ineffectively jjab without talking about simple and inexpensive treatment options that could even ease public fear?
Again, this is a reflection for the people, where does government loyalty lie? Perhaps it’s with the industry that spends two times more than what any other lobby does in congress.
Would it not be inspiring to see health leaders come on the news and say “Hey, we don’t know for sure if these things will work, just like any other drug or jjab, but we do know they are harmless if done this way etc.”
And then indicate to people how to eat properly, take vitamin C, herbs, and zinc.
To me, this would feel like we truly are pulling out all the stops to unify and help one another, but instead, it feels like another opportunity to push side effect ridden drugs.
This is where I feel we can see the need for a shift from a culture of disconnection and scarcity, to one of connection and abundance.
Remember, scarcity in our society today is 100% manmade, it is a factor of our economic design, it isn’t real. Think of how banks can get bailed out by printing money out of thin air.
This means the same could be done for healthcare, supplements, people’s debt etc, but it isn’t done because the majority need to be financially weaker for the rich to have their cake.
I don’t share this stuff to enrage people, or to judge the leaders, in fact, neither of those two actions will help us in this situation.
I say this because it’s the truth and only when we know that can we begin to change our story and what we choose to support. Now is a perfect time for that.

humansarefree--2020-03-21--Biophysicist Michael Levitt: Coronavirus Will Slow Down & Mankind Will Survive

I do believe there is a lot of unnecessary hysteria going on right now .
That doesn ’ t mean precautions shouldn ’ t be taken , but what ’ s happening right now may be going a little overboard .
Right now , it seems that the majority of people who have the virus are recovering quite well , and that there is greater concern for elderly people and those who already have underlying health issues .
For example , a recent article in Bloomberg titled , “ 99 % of Those Who Died From Virus Had Other Illness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the state of one ’ s immune system and overall health determines morbidity and mortality , and likely your susceptibility to infection in the first place .
“ More than 99 % of Italy ’ s coronavirus fatalities were people who suffered from previous medical conditions , according to a study by the country ’ s national health authority… “ The Rome-based institute has examined medical records of about 18 % of the country ’ s coronavirus fatalities , finding that just three victims , or 0.8 % of the total , had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the victims suffered from at least three prior illnesses and about a fourth had either one or two previous conditions .
More than 75 % had high blood pressure , about 35 % had diabetes and a third suffered from heart disease.
” According biophysicist Michael Levitt , a Nobel laureate who teaches structural biology at Stanford University , the virus will pass , and all will be as it was .
Levitt became quite a popular name across China .
He offered the Chinese public some reassurance during the peak of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ determined , after investigating and crunching some numbers , that the virus will come to a halt .
Obviously , it ’ s spreading quite rapidly right now , so seeing how it may slow down might be hard for some people , but according to what Levitt saw from the numbers in China , other countries should also follow the same trend .
The calming messages Levitt sent to his friends in China were translated into Chinese and passed from person to person , making him a popular subject for interviews in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out to be correct : the number of new cases reported each day started to fall as of February 7 .
A week later , the mortality rate started falling as well… .
Levitt avoids making global forecasts .
In China , he said , the number of new infections will soon reach zero , and South Korea is past the median point and can already see the end .
Regarding the rest of the world , it is still hard to tell , he said .
“ It will end when all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people they have already infected .
The goal is not to reach the situation the cruise ship experienced.
” Levitt pointed out that the rate of infection of the virus in the Hubei province in China increased by 30 percent each day .
According to him , the entire world should have been infected within 90 days , but obviously this didn ’ t happen , and hasn ’ t happened .
When Levitt started analyzing the data on February 1 , Hubei had 1,800 new cases each day and within six days @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ And then , on February 7 , the number of new infections started to drop linearly and did not stop .
A week later , the same happened with the number of the deaths .
“ This dramatic change in the curve marked the median point and enabled better prediction of when the pandemic will end .
Based on that , I concluded that the situation in all of China will improve within two weeks .
And , indeed , now there are very few new infection cases.
” Levitt compared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the first day a person receives an interest rate of 30 % on their savings , the next day of 29 % , and so forth , “ you understand that eventually , you will not earn very much.
” Originally Levitt said that coronavirus patients in China infected on average 2.2 people a day , which would be exponential growth that would lead to nothing but disaster .
But then the rates started dropping and China has recently reported that new daily infections are now close to zero .
“ The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ down means the end of the pandemic is near , ” he said .
Basically , self-quarantine and social distancing really helps , as well as keeping our social circles to those who we usually interact with the same .
All of the measures that are currently in places are no doubt bound to ‘ flatten the curve , ’ so there is no doubt that humanity is heading in the right direction and has hopefully already weathered the worst part of the storm .
It looks like a treatment program of about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ results from high dose Vitamin C treatment of COVID-19 .
Last month , the US National Library of Medicine posted the information about their clinical trials on their website .
The title of one of the trials is “ Vitamin C Infusion for the Treatment of Severe 2019-nCoV Infected Pneumonia.
” The sponsor is ZhiYong Peng , and the responsible party is Zhongnan Hospital in Wuhan University ( ZNWU ) .

It also illustrates the agenda for creating a fear and separation culture as opposed to unity .
It would be great to see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ provide information on how one can strengthen their immune system through the use of foods , herbs etc..
This would also contribute to lessening anxiety instead of constantly hearing “ there is no treatment.
” Based on what we are seeing happen in Japan and China , this statement is simply not true .

humansarefree--2020-03-21--Exploiting a Health Crisis to Create Financial One

In a previous articles , 5+ NWO Agendas Accompanying the Coronavirus Epidemic , I outlined the various NWO agendas being pushed out due to ( or using the pretext of ) the coronavirus crisis .
That was 4 weeks ago , and events are rapidly unfolding .
I highlighted the lame excuses that governments were giving to advance the cashless agenda , e.g .
claiming that we must take cash out of circulation because it could be spreading disease or viral fragments .
WHO ( World Health Organization ) Director General Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus stated that we must move towards @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money can spread diseases , especially endemic diseases like the coronavirus .
Now , it is possible that the agenda could go even further .
The Dow Jones has plummetted in recent days , including having the biggest single drop in a day since 1929 – which was the biggest stock market crash ever and the start of the Great Depression .
Ever since I have been researching the conspiracy , I have always heard whispers and predictions of a global financial crash or a global economic reset , the idea being that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economy in order to remake it in their likeness , with more centralization of power , a One World Bank and a One World Currency .
Has the time finally come for them to implement this scheme ?
It is still too early to say .
However , in addition to the ominous signs of the stock market falling and the economy in many countries slowing or grinding to a halt ( due to forced social isolations or quarantines ) , there are other signs .
The USG , via the Federal Reserve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a theoretical $ 4.5 trillion in 4 weeks starting March 12th , 2020 – into the system to keep it afloat .
This is money printed out of nothing , with no economic rationale for its existence .
For the last few years , the big international banks have been feverishly preparing to launch their own digital currencies , which some people call cryptocurrencies but which are not true cryptos ( the banks are obviously not interested in decentralized platforms and anonymous transactions ; they want centralized control and surveillance ) .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Digital Currencies ) .
There has been a banking digital arms race .
Some have suggested that SDR ( Special Drawing Rights ) , which are IMF ( International Monetary Fund ) units of account pegged to a basket of currencies , could be the mechanism for the coming world currency .
Has the time come for banks to roll out their NWO One World Coin or some other digital currency ?
Google-owned YouTube has shown that it only requires a whiff of an excuse to censor .
YouTube has begun another censorship @ @ @ @ @ @ @ videos were hidden , downranked or demonetized , YouTube is now taking the bold step of deleting videos entirely – such as videos that mention the word coronavirus .
Surveillance Schemes Waiting in the Wings : EARN IT A new bill has introduced into the US Senate , named The Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies ( ‘ EARN IT ’ ) Act .
The basic premise of the bill is that tech companies will have to earn Section 230 protections rather than being granted them by default .
Section 230 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Big Tech companies claim they are neutral platforms ( and not publishers ) and are therefore not liable for their users ’ speech .
Big Tech has been openly acting as a biased publisher and selective editor/censor for years , but here ’ s the point : this bill is not about combatting child abuse as it ostensibly claims to be ( look how slow the USG has been to go after Epstein accomplices like Ghislaine Maxwell and Andrew Windsor ) , but rather chipping away at the right to privacy of communication @ @ @ @ @ @ @ director of surveillance and cyber security at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society , wrote a blog post suggesting that this law could be a sneaky way of undermining another bit of legislation that has long been a thorn in the side of US intelligence agencies .
This is the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act of 1994 ( CALEA ) .
“ CALEA requires telecommunications carriers ( e.g.
, phone companies ) to make their networks wiretappable for law enforcement .
However , that mandate does not cover ‘ information services @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media , chat apps , cloud storage , and so on .
“ Put another way , the providers of ‘ information services ’ are not required to design to be surveillance-friendly … Both DOJ and the Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) have been trying for at least a decade to close [ anti-surveillance loopholes ] … “ So , how can law enforcement achieve its long-desired CALEA goal ?
By pushing a bill that talks about Section 230 instead.
” ” “ Imagine an Internet where the law required every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scanning software .
Companies that handle such messages wouldn ’ t be allowed to securely encrypt them , or they ’ d lose legal protections that allow them to operate … “ The so-called EARN IT bill , sponsored by Senators Lindsey Graham ( R-SC ) and Richard Blumenthal ( D-CT ) , will strip Section 230 protections away from any website that doesn ’ t follow a list of “ best practices , ” meaning those sites can be sued into bankruptcy .
The “ best practices ” list will be created @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Attorney General Barr , who has made it very clear he would like to ban encryption , and guarantee law enforcement “ legal access ” to any digital message.
” ( … ) Governments More Interested in Colluding with One Another to Each Suppress Their Own Citizens , Rather Than Fighting Geopolitically Although the realm of geopolitics and international alliances is real on one level , it ’ s not the deepest level at which to understand how the world is run .
On a deeper level , these nations work together , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ secretly worked together during the Cold War .
There is no reason to believe it is any different now during this manufactured coronavirus crisis .
Remember , there is already evidence of Chinese government foreknowledge , as well as obvious USG/Big Pharma foreknowledge ( the event 201 coronavirus simulation to start with ) .
As events and government responses continue to unfold , ask yourself : is there evidence of governments colluding with each other to suppress their own citizens ?
Since China is the NWO technocratic and totalitarian paradigm society , will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ China did this and that ( draconian ) measure to control the virus , so we have to as well ’ ?
Counting the Various Agendas Being Rolled Out During the Coronavirus Crisis This list is getting longer and longer all the time : 2 .
Overturn of the Right of Freedom of Association , Right to Assemble and Right to Travel 5 .
Rolling out of Digital Currencies / One World Currency ?
Now is the time more than ever to not only boost your immune system with natural anti-viral foods and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but also to pay close attention to how the rulers are using their own manufactured coronavirus crisis to tighten their grip on power .

In a previous articles, 5+ NWO Agendas Accompanying the Coronavirus Epidemic, I outlined the various NWO agendas being pushed out due to (or using the pretext of) the coronavirus crisis.
That was 4 weeks ago, and events are rapidly unfolding. I highlighted the lame excuses that governments were giving to advance the cashless agenda, e.g. claiming that we must take cash out of circulation because it could be spreading disease or viral fragments.
WHO (World Health Organization) Director General Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus stated that we must move towards digital money because physical paper and coin money can spread diseases, especially endemic diseases like the coronavirus.
Now, it is possible that the agenda could go even further. The Dow Jones has plummetted in recent days, including having the biggest single drop in a day since 1929 – which was the biggest stock market crash ever and the start of the Great Depression.
Ever since I have been researching the conspiracy, I have always heard whispers and predictions of a global financial crash or a global economic reset, the idea being that the international bankers would deliberately crash the economy in order to remake it in their likeness, with more centralization of power, a One World Bank and a One World Currency. Has the time finally come for them to implement this scheme?
It is still too early to say. However, in addition to the ominous signs of the stock market falling and the economy in many countries slowing or grinding to a halt (due to forced social isolations or quarantines), there are other signs.
The USG, via the Federal Reserve, is literally pumping trillions – up to a theoretical $4.5 trillion in 4 weeks starting March 12th, 2020 – into the system to keep it afloat. This is money printed out of nothing, with no economic rationale for its existence.
For the last few years, the big international banks have been feverishly preparing to launch their own digital currencies, which some people call cryptocurrencies but which are not true cryptos (the banks are obviously not interested in decentralized platforms and anonymous transactions; they want centralized control and surveillance).
They are actually CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies). There has been a banking digital arms race.
Some have suggested that SDR (Special Drawing Rights), which are IMF (International Monetary Fund) units of account pegged to a basket of currencies, could be the mechanism for the coming world currency.
Has the time come for banks to roll out their NWO One World Coin or some other digital currency?
Censorship Gone Wild
Google-owned YouTube has shown that it only requires a whiff of an excuse to censor. YouTube has begun another censorship purge.
Whereas in the past, videos were hidden, downranked or demonetized, YouTube is now taking the bold step of deleting videos entirely – such as videos that mention the word coronavirus.
Surveillance Schemes Waiting in the Wings: EARN IT
A new bill has introduced into the US Senate, named The Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies (‘EARN IT’) Act. The basic premise of the bill is that tech companies will have to earn Section 230 protections rather than being granted them by default.
Section 230 is the now famous section under which Big Tech companies claim they are neutral platforms (and not publishers) and are therefore not liable for their users’ speech.
Big Tech has been openly acting as a biased publisher and selective editor/censor for years, but here’s the point: this bill is not about combatting child abuse as it ostensibly claims to be (look how slow the USG has been to go after Epstein accomplices like Ghislaine Maxwell and Andrew Windsor), but rather chipping away at the right to privacy of communication.
The News Statesman writes:
“Riana Pfefferkorn, the associate director of surveillance and cyber security at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society, wrote a blog post suggesting that this law could be a sneaky way of undermining another bit of legislation that has long been a thorn in the side of US intelligence agencies. This is the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (CALEA).
Pfefferkorn writes:
“CALEA requires telecommunications carriers (e.g., phone companies) to make their networks wiretappable for law enforcement. However, that mandate does not cover ‘information services’: websites, email, social media, chat apps, cloud storage, and so on.
“Put another way, the providers of ‘information services’ are not required to design to be surveillance-friendly … Both DOJ and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have been trying for at least a decade to close [anti-surveillance loopholes] …
“So, how can law enforcement achieve its long-desired CALEA goal? By pushing a bill that talks about Section 230 instead.””
The EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) writes:
“Imagine an Internet where the law required every message sent to be read by government-approved scanning software. Companies that handle such messages wouldn’t be allowed to securely encrypt them, or they’d lose legal protections that allow them to operate …
“The so-called EARN IT bill, sponsored by Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), will strip Section 230 protections away from any website that doesn’t follow a list of “best practices,” meaning those sites can be sued into bankruptcy.
The “best practices” list will be created by a government commission, headed by Attorney General Barr, who has made it very clear he would like to ban encryption, and guarantee law enforcement “legal access” to any digital message.” (…)
Governments More Interested in Colluding with One Another to Each Suppress Their Own Citizens, Rather Than Fighting Geopolitically
Although the realm of geopolitics and international alliances is real on one level, it’s not the deepest level at which to understand how the world is run.
On a deeper level, these nations work together, just as the USA and the USSR secretly worked together during the Cold War. There is no reason to believe it is any different now during this manufactured coronavirus crisis.
Remember, there is already evidence of Chinese government foreknowledge, as well as obvious USG/Big Pharma foreknowledge (the event 201 coronavirus simulation to start with).
As events and government responses continue to unfold, ask yourself: is there evidence of governments colluding with each other to suppress their own citizens?
Since China is the NWO technocratic and totalitarian paradigm society, will other governments use the excuse that ‘China did this and that (draconian) measure to control the virus, so we have to as well’?
Counting the Various Agendas Being Rolled Out During the Coronavirus Crisis
This list is getting longer and longer all the time:
1. Quarantine and Martial Law
2. Overturn of the Right of Freedom of Association, Right to Assemble and Right to Travel
3. Cashless Agenda
4. Global Financial Crash / Economic Reset?
5. Rolling out of Digital Currencies / One World Currency?
6. Cover for 5G Rollout
7. Surveillance
8. Censorship
9. Mandatory jjabing
10. The Human Microchipping Agenda
Now is the time more than ever to not only boost your immune system with natural anti-viral foods and supplements, and practice good hygiene, but also to pay close attention to how the rulers are using their own manufactured coronavirus crisis to tighten their grip on power.

humansarefree--2020-03-21--As Americans Panic Buy Toilet Paper, Gov’t Pushing Law to Scan Every Message Online

Things are escalating quickly .
Despite the need to address the growing concerns of Americans , Washington D.C. and the surveillance deep state are moving to spy on them by quietly pushing a totalitarian act of legislation .
The bipartisan supported bill , called the EARN IT bill , is sponsored by Senators Lindsay Graham ( R-SC ) and Richard Blumenthal ( D-CT ) .
This incredibly Draconian bill seeks to end what little privacy we have left online .
As the Electronic Frontier Foundation reports , it will strip Section 230 protections away from any website that doesn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ practices , ” meaning those sites can be sued into bankruptcy .
The “ best practices ” list will be created by a government commission , headed by Attorney General Barr , who has made it very clear he would like to ban encryption , and guarantee law enforcement “ legal access ” to any digital message .
The authors of the bill were surreptitious in crafting its text , carefully avoiding any usage of the word “ encryption ” in an apparent effort to trick Americans into thinking it ’ s harmless @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was quick to point this out — which was likely planned from the beginning .
“ This bill says nothing about encryption , ” Sen. Blumenthal said at Thursday ’ s hearing on the bill .
“ Have you found a word in this bill about encryption ?
” he asked one witness .
But the folks at EFF warn that this is a deceptive ploy .
It ’ s true that the bill ’ s authors avoided using that word .
But they did propose legislation that enables an all-out assault on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commission that ’ s completely controlled by the Attorney General and law enforcement agencies .
And , at the hearing , a Vice-President at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children ( NCMEC ) made it clear [ PDF ] what he wants the best practices to be .
NCMEC believes online services should be made to screen their messages for material that NCMEC considers abusive ; use screening technology approved by NCMEC and law enforcement ; report what they find in the messages to NCMEC ; and be held legally responsible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ others .
You can ’ t have an Internet where messages are screened en masse , and also have end-to-end encryption any more than you can create backdoors that can only be used by the good guys .
The two are mutually exclusive .
Concepts like “ client-side scanning ” aren ’ t a clever route around this ; such scanning is just another way to break end-to-end encryption .
Either the message remains private to everyone but its recipients , or it ’ s available to others .
The 19-person draft commission @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 15-person commission envisioned in an early draft of the bill .
It ’ s completely dominated by law enforcement and allied groups like NCMEC .
Not only will those groups have a majority of votes on the commission , but the bill gives Attorney General Barr the power to veto or approve the list of best practices .
Even if other commission members do disagree with law enforcement , Barr ’ s veto power will put him in a position to strongarm them .
If we look at how the surveillance state abuses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can bet on seeing a level of online surveillance like never before .
It will allow law enforcement tools to erode online privacy and punish those whom with they may disagree .
If this bill passes and law enforcement gets their way with breaking encryption , as Joe Mullin points out , “ authoritarian regimes around the world will rejoice , as they have the ability to add their own types of mandatory scanning , not just for child sexual abuse material but for self-expression that those governments want to suppress.
” When @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government no longer has your best interests in mind .

If we look at how the surveillance state abuses other regulations like this one, we can bet on seeing a level of online surveillance like never before.
It will allow law enforcement tools to erode online privacy and punish those whom with they may disagree.
If this bill passes and law enforcement gets their way with breaking encryption, as Joe Mullin points out, “authoritarian regimes around the world will rejoice, as they have the ability to add their own types of mandatory scanning, not just for child sexual abuse material but for self-expression that those governments want to suppress.”
When the government fears your privacy, that government no longer has your best interests in mind.
