humansarefree--2020-05-28--From 9/11 to COVID-19, It’s Been a Perpetual State of Emergency

“ The fundamental political question is why do people obey a government .
The answer is that they tend to enslave themselves , to let themselves be governed by tyrants .
Freedom from servitude comes not from violent action , but from the refusal to serve .
Tyrants fall when the people withdraw their support.
” — Étienne De La Boétie , The Politics Of Obedience Don ’ t pity this year ’ s crop of graduates because this COVID-19 pandemic caused them to miss out on the antics of their senior year and the pomp and circumstance of graduation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their entire lives in a state of emergency .
They were born in the wake of the 9/11 attacks ; raised without any expectation of privacy in a technologically-driven , mass surveillance state ; educated in schools that teach conformity and compliance ; saddled with a debt-ridden economy on the brink of implosion ; made vulnerable by the blowback from a military empire constantly waging war against shadowy enemies ; policed by government agents armed to the teeth ready and able to lock down the country at a moment ’ s notice ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a government that no longer exists to serve the people but which demands they be obedient slaves or suffer the consequences .
Unfortunately , we who should have known better failed to maintain our freedoms or provide our young people with the tools necessary to survive , let alone succeed , in the impersonal jungle that is modern America .
We brought them into homes fractured by divorce , distracted by mindless entertainment , and obsessed with the pursuit of materialism .
We institutionalized them in daycares and afterschool programs , substituting time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ involvement .
We turned them into test-takers instead of thinkers and automatons instead of activists .
We allowed them to languish in schools which not only look like prisons but function like prisons , as well — where conformity is the rule and freedom is the exception .
We made them easy prey for our corporate overlords , while instilling in them the values of a celebrity-obsessed , technology-driven culture devoid of any true spirituality .
And we taught them to believe that the pursuit of their own personal happiness trumped all other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their fellow human beings No , we haven ’ t done this generation any favors .
Given the current political climate and nationwide lockdown , things could only get worse .
For those coming of age today ( and for the rest of us who are muddling along through this dystopian nightmare ) , here are a few bits of advice that will hopefully help as we navigate the perils ahead .
Be an individual .
For all of its claims to champion the individual , American culture advocates a stark conformity which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is “ the jailer of freedom , and the enemy of growth.
” Worry less about fitting in with the rest of the world and instead , as Henry David Thoreau urged , become “ a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you , opening new channels , not of trade , but of thought.
” Learn your rights .
We ’ re losing our freedoms for one simple reason : most of us don ’ t know anything about our freedoms .
At a minimum , anyone who has graduated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , should know the Bill of Rights backwards and forwards .
However , the average young person , let alone citizen , has very little knowledge of their rights for the simple reason that the schools no longer teach them .
So grab a copy of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights , and study them at home .
And when the time comes , stand up for your rights before it ’ s too late .
Speak truth to power .
Don ’ t be naive about those in positions of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wrote our Bill of Rights , observed , “ All men having power ought to be distrusted.
” We must learn the lessons of history .
People in power , more often than not , abuse that power .
To maintain our freedoms , this will mean challenging government officials whenever they exceed the bounds of their office .
Resist all things that numb you .
Don ’ t measure your worth by what you own or earn .
Likewise , don ’ t become mindless consumers unaware of the world around you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , put you to sleep or help you “ cope ” with so-called reality .
Those who establish the rules and laws that govern society ’ s actions desire compliant subjects .
However , as George Orwell warned , “ Until they become conscious , they will never rebel , and until after they rebelled , they can not become conscious.
” It is these conscious individuals who change the world for the better .
Don ’ t let technology turn you into zombies .
Technology anesthetizes us to the all-too-real tragedies that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from what ’ s really going on in America and around the world .
As a result , we ’ ve begun mimicking the inhuman technology that surrounds us and have lost our humanity .
We ’ ve become sleepwalkers .
If you ’ re going to make a difference in the world , you ’ re going to have to pull the earbuds out , turn off the cell phones and spend much less time viewing screens .
Help others .
We all have a calling in life .
And I believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You are here on this planet to help other people .
In fact , none of us can exist very long without help from others .
If we ’ re going to see any positive change for freedom , then we must change our view of what it means to be human and regain a sense of what it means to love and help one another .
That will mean gaining the courage to stand up for the oppressed .
Refuse to remain silent in the face of evil .
Throughout history , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up to challenge the injustices of their age .
Nazi Germany had its Dietrich Bonhoeffer .
The gulags of the Soviet Union were challenged by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn .
America had its color-coded system of racial segregation and warmongering called out for what it was , blatant discrimination and profiteering , by Martin Luther King Jr. And then there was Jesus Christ , an itinerant preacher and revolutionary activist , who not only died challenging the police state of his day — namely , the Roman Empire — but provided a blueprint for civil @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , religious and otherwise , who came after him .
What we lack today and so desperately need are those with moral courage who will risk their freedoms and lives in order to speak out against evil in its many forms .
Cultivate spirituality , reject materialism and put people first .
When the things that matter most have been subordinated to materialism , we have lost our moral compass .
We must change our values to reflect something more meaningful than technology , materialism and politics .
Standing at the pulpit of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in April 1967 , Martin Luther King Jr. urged his listeners : [ W ] e as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values .
We must rapidly begin the shift from a “ thing-oriented ” society to a “ person-oriented ” society .
When machines and computers , profit motive and property rights are considered more important than people , the giant triplets of racism , materialism , and militarism are incapable of being conquered .
Pitch in and do your part to make the world a better place .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do the heavy lifting for you .
Don ’ t wait around for someone else to fix what ails you , your community or nation .
As Mahatma Gandhi urged : “ Be the change you wish to see in the world.
” Stop waiting for political saviors to fix what is wrong with this country .
Stop waiting for some political savior to swoop in and fix all that ’ s wrong with this country .
Stop allowing yourselves to be drawn into divisive party politics .
Stop thinking of yourselves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as opposed to citizens of the United States .
Most of all , stop looking away from the injustices and cruelties and endless acts of tyranny that have become hallmarks of American police state .
Be vigilant and do your part to recalibrate the balance of power in favor of “ we the people.
” Say no to war .
Addressing the graduates at Binghampton Central High School in 1968 , at a time when the country was waging war “ on different fields , on different levels , and with different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Serling declared : Too many wars are fought almost as if by rote .
Too many wars are fought out of sloganry , out of battle hymns , out of aged , musty appeals to patriotism that went out with knighthood and moats .
Love your country because it is eminently worthy of your affection .
Respect it because it deserves your respect .
Be loyal to it because it can not survive without your loyalty .
But do not accept the shedding of blood as a natural function or a prescribed way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this up by its repetition .
That men die for causes does not necessarily sanctify that cause .
And that men are maimed and torn to pieces every fifteen and twenty years does not immortalize or deify the act of war… find another means that does not come with the killing of your fellow-man .
Finally , prepare yourselves for what lies ahead .
The demons of our age — some of whom disguise themselves as politicians — delight in fomenting violence , sowing distrust and prejudice , and persuading the public to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the evils of our age will require more than intellect and activism .
It will require decency , morality , goodness , truth and toughness .
As Serling concluded in his remarks to the graduating class of 1968 : “ Toughness is the singular quality most required of you… we have left you a world far more botched than the one that was left to us… Part of your challenge is to seek out truth , to come up with a point of view not dictated to you by anyone , be he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Are you tough enough to take the divisiveness of this land of ours , the fact that everything is polarized , black and white , this or that , absolutely right or absolutely wrong .
This is one of the challenges .
“ Be prepared to seek out the middle ground … that wondrous and very difficult-to-find Valhalla where man can look to both sides and see the errant truths that exist on both sides .
“ If you must swing left or you must swing right — respect the other side .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ other side .
“ Argue , debate , rebut — but don ’ t close those wondrous minds of yours to opposition .
“ In their eyes , you ’ re the opposition .
And ultimately … ultimately — you end divisiveness by compromise .
And so long as men walk and breathe — there must be compromise… “ Are you tough enough to face one of the uglier stains upon the fabric of our democracy — prejudice ?
“ It ’ s the basic root of most evil .
It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And it ’ s a part of man ’ s admission , his constant sick admission , that to exist he must find a scapegoat .
“ To explain away his own deficiencies — he must try to find someone who he believes more deficient… Make your judgment of your fellow-man on what he says and what he believes and the way he acts .
“ Be tough enough , please , to live with prejudice and give battle to it .
It warps , it poisons , it distorts and it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worse than a bomb … and worst of all it cheapens and demeans anyone who permits himself the luxury of hating.
” The only way we ’ ll ever achieve change in this country is for people to finally say “ enough is enough ” and fight for the things that truly matter .
It doesn ’ t matter how old you are or what your political ideology is : wake up , stand up , speak up , and make your citizenship count for something more than just voting .
Pandemic or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ freedoms to be curtailed and your voice to be muzzled .
It ’ s our civic duty to make the government hear us — and heed us — using every nonviolent means available to us : picket , protest , march , boycott , speak up , sound off and reclaim control over the narrative about what is really going on in this country .
Mind you , the government doesn ’ t want to hear us .
It doesn ’ t even want us to speak .
In fact , as I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : The War on the American People , the government has done a diabolically good job of establishing roadblocks to prevent us from exercising our First Amendment right to speech and assembly and protest .
Still we must persist .
So get active , get outraged , and get going : there ’ s work to be done .

Don’t pity this year’s crop of graduates because this COVID-19 pandemic caused them to miss out on the antics of their senior year and the pomp and circumstance of graduation.
Pity them because they have spent their entire lives in a state of emergency.
They were born in the wake of the 9/11 attacks; raised without any expectation of privacy in a technologically-driven, mass surveillance state; educated in schools that teach conformity and compliance; saddled with a debt-ridden economy on the brink of implosion; made vulnerable by the blowback from a military empire constantly waging war against shadowy enemies; policed by government agents armed to the teeth ready and able to lock down the country at a moment’s notice; and forced to march in lockstep with a government that no longer exists to serve the people but which demands they be obedient slaves or suffer the consequences.
It’s a dismal start to life, isn’t it?
Unfortunately, we who should have known better failed to maintain our freedoms or provide our young people with the tools necessary to survive, let alone succeed, in the impersonal jungle that is modern America.
We brought them into homes fractured by divorce, distracted by mindless entertainment, and obsessed with the pursuit of materialism. We institutionalized them in daycares and afterschool programs, substituting time with teachers and childcare workers for parental involvement. We turned them into test-takers instead of thinkers and automatons instead of activists.
We allowed them to languish in schools which not only look like prisons but function like prisons, as well — where conformity is the rule and freedom is the exception.
We made them easy prey for our corporate overlords, while instilling in them the values of a celebrity-obsessed, technology-driven culture devoid of any true spirituality. And we taught them to believe that the pursuit of their own personal happiness trumped all other virtues, including any empathy whatsoever for their fellow human beings
No, we haven’t done this generation any favors.

That will mean gaining the courage to stand up for the oppressed.
Refuse to remain silent in the face of evil. Throughout history, individuals or groups of individuals have risen up to challenge the injustices of their age.
Nazi Germany had its Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The gulags of the Soviet Union were challenged by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
America had its color-coded system of racial segregation and warmongering called out for what it was, blatant discrimination and profiteering, by Martin Luther King Jr.

Most of all, stop looking away from the injustices and cruelties and endless acts of tyranny that have become hallmarks of American police state.
Be vigilant and do your part to recalibrate the balance of power in favor of “we the people.”
Say no to war. Addressing the graduates at Binghampton Central High School in 1968, at a time when the country was waging war “on different fields, on different levels, and with different weapons,” Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling declared:
Too many wars are fought almost as if by rote.
Too many wars are fought out of sloganry, out of battle hymns, out of aged, musty appeals to patriotism that went out with knighthood and moats.
Love your country because it is eminently worthy of your affection.

humansarefree--2020-05-28--Bill Gates Adds Pharma ‘Fact’ Checkers to Microsoft Products

NewsGuard , which bills itself at “ the internet trust tool , ” is among the latest technology tools claiming to rate information as reliable or fake news , supplying you with a color-coded rating system next to Google and Bing searches , as well as on articles displayed on social media .
If you rely on NewsGuard ’ s ratings , you may decide to entirely skip by those with a low “ red ” rating in favor of the “ more trustworthy ” green-rated articles — and therein lies the problem .
NewsGuard is in itself fraught with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s largely funded by Publicis , a global communications giant that ’ s partnered with Big Pharma , such that it may be viewed more as a censorship tool than an internet watchdog .
Now , NewsGuard has expanded its partnership with Microsoft , co-founded by Bill Gates , which will provide all users of Microsoft Edge browser free access to its questionable ratings , among other services .
Under Microsoft ’ s NewsGuard expansion , people who use Microsoft Edge ’ s desktop and mobile browser will have free access to NewsGuard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be purchased via a $ 2.95 monthly subscription fee .
Microsoft ’ s Bing search engine will also have NewsGuard ratings in real-time , while all other Microsoft departments will also be able to use NewsGuard ratings in their products and services.1 “ Projects already underway include the company ’ s Defending Democracy Program and teams within Microsoft Research who are working on misinformation , disinformation and health care hoaxes , ” according to a NewsGuard press release.2 Also under the agreement is Microsoft ’ s continued sponsorship of NewsGuard ’ s news @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unique media literacy teaching tool that guides citizens through the overwhelming landscape of online news and information.
” 3 More than 700 public libraries from Los Angeles to London , serving more than 7 million patrons , currently use NewsGuard .
The news literacy program exists in the U.S. , Great Britain , France , Germany and Italy , and with the expanded partnership it ’ s expected to roll out in Australia , Canada and other countries in 2020.4 With the news literacy program , librarians will even provide instructions to patrons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on their personal computers , tablets and cellphones .
Once you ’ ve installed the NewsGuard browser plugin on your computer or cellphone , the NewsGuard icon rating will appear on all Google and Bing searches and on articles featured in your social media news feeds .
The NewsGuard ratings are meant to influence readers , instructing them to disregard content with cautionary colors and cautions — but NewsGuard ’ s ratings are highly questionable , considering its primary backer , Publicis , is an advertising and data firm that ’ s been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , cigarettes and unhealthy junk food to kids .
For instance , Leo Burnett , the ad company famous for creating the Marlboro man ad campaigns that made Marlboro the best-selling cigarette in the world and led to the nicotine addiction of millions , many of whom died from smoking , is a part of Publicis.5,6 NewsGuard co-CEO Gordon Crovitz stated in a press release , “ We are delighted to be able to expand our relationship with Microsoft , which is a leader among companies in taking steps to address the unforeseen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The internet has empowered people around the world with unprecedented access to information , but the internet has also made it easier than ever for misinformation to spread , including health care hoaxes about COVID-19.
” 7 Unfortunately , what ’ s less widely publicized is the widespread deception that can occur when a conflicted start-up company is allowed to dictate what ’ s truth and what ’ s not .
Publicis was the lead investor among a group of 18 that helped make NewsGuard a reality .
As a giant global communications @ @ @ @ @ @ @ imaging , design of digital business platforms , media relations and health care .
Publicis Groupe ’ s health subsidiary , Publicis Health , names Merck , Abbot , Roche , GlaxoSmithKline , Celgene , Sanofi , Johnson & Johnson and other Big Pharma giants as clients , which gives you an idea of where its loyalties lie.8 In early 2020 , drug giant GlaxoSmithKline awarded Publicis Media a healthy piece of business , and the communications group responded by creating a custom platformGSK to run the drug giant ’ s media business @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Healthcare to its portfolio , making the total venture worth $ 1.5 billion .
Publicis also handles other Big Pharma media accounts , including Novartis ’ .
In August 2019 , Publicis created NovartisONE2 to manage the pharma giant ’ s global media account worth $ 600 million.9 In April 2019 , Publicis also announced that it would acquire marketing services company Epsilon in a $ 4.4 billion deal.10 Epsilon made headlines in 2011 after a massive data breach , but is far from a household name , despite its strong presence in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
CNET explained:11 “ In addition to offering e-mail marketing services and managing customer e-mail databases for clients , Epsilon monitors social networking and other sites to see what people are saying about a company , advises on markets to target , helps develop and maintain customer loyalty programs , and offers Abacus , ‘ the world ’ s largest cooperative database with over 8.6 billion consumer transactions and 4.8 billion business transactions ’ used for creating lists of prospective customers .
The different data Epsilon sells includes age , profession , residence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Digiday further described Epsilon as “ a smorgasbord of data given it has more than 250 million U.S. consumers in its database and sends over 71 billion personalized emails each year.
” 12 Epsilon was also an early adopter of Amazon Alexa , integrating public Alexa data with its own consumer information.13 Until the acquisition — the second largest deal in advertising history — Publicis lacked a major data marketing arm , but now , as Adweek put it , is “ firmly in the data business.
” 14 In addition to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with other tech companies , including a $ 500 million , multiyear ad partnership with Facebook in 2014 .
“ Under the terms , Publicis ’ agencies and their clients — which include powerful brands like Procter & Gamble , Walmart , Bank of America , McDonald ’ s and Coca-Cola — will receive discounted rates on a range of Facebook products as well as access to Facebook ’ s user data and engineers , ” according to Entrepreneur.15 In 2013 , Publicis also inked a $ 100 million deal with Google and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ YouTube ads in the next year.16 If NewsGuard continues , it ’ s very likely Google , Facebook , Twitter and other platforms will use its ratings to lower the visibility of content — making nonconformist views disappear entirely .
Once installed on your browser , NewsGuard assigns a color coded “ Nutrition Label ” to sites , rating them green or red in a process they said would be “ completely transparent and accountable.
” 17 The nine criteria NewsGuard is using to “ protect ” you from fake news include:18 A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ red rating , while higher scores get more favorable results , which is intended to provide readers with a “ signal if a website is trying to get it right or instead has a hidden agenda or knowingly publishes falsehoods or propaganda.
” 19 However , NewsGuard ’ s ratings can ’ t be taken at face value .
Recently , NewsGuard announced that my site has been classified as fake news because we have reported the SARS-CoV-2 virus as potentially having been leaked from the biosafety level 4 ( BSL4 ) laboratory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak .
According to NewsGuard , “ There is no evidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the source of the outbreak , and genomic evidence has found that the virus is 96 % identical at the whole-genome level to a bat coronavirus.
” 20 But NewsGuard ’ s position is in direct conflict with published scientific evidence suggesting this virus was created in a lab and not zoonotically transmitted .
Since my February 4 , 2020 , article , I ’ ve become increasingly convinced — through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or is unaware of — that SARS-CoV-2 may in fact be a synthetic virus , likely created and released ( inadvertently or not ) from one or more laboratories that worked on weaponizing SARS and bat coronaviruses .
Interestingly , an April 2020 report by CNN reveals China ’ s censorship of articles mentioning the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 may have leaked from the Wuhan BSL4 facility appears to come from China,21 which means , by essentially also censoring such articles , NewsGuard is functionally protecting Chinese interests and inhibiting scientific inquiry .
Overall @ @ @ @ @ @ @ big business aimed at keeping the chemical , drug and food industries , as well as mainstream media , intact by discrediting and eliminating unwanted competition , including yours truly and many others who empower you with information that helps you take control of your health .
NewsGuard is backed by the Publicis Groupe , which has been manipulating what people think about commercial products for nearly a century.22 You don ’ t need this thought police , advertising front group helping you sort through fake news and telling you what ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
There are a number of ways to fight back , including choosing browsers and search engines that do not automatically contain NewsGuard ratings .
In addition , if your local library is using NewsGuard , you can start a campaign to get it removed , while letting others know that NewsGuard is owned by a pharmaceutical public relations/data firm and is engaged in censoring truthful news and scientific freedom .
From the author : The existing medical establishment is responsible for killing and permanently injuring millions of Americans , but the surging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ began the site in 1997 – we are now routinely among the top 10 health sites on the Internet – convinces me that you , too , are fed up with their deception .
You want practical health solutions without the hype , and that ’ s what I offer .

NewsGuard, which bills itself at “the internet trust tool,” is among the latest technology tools claiming to rate information as reliable or fake news, supplying you with a color-coded rating system next to Google and Bing searches, as well as on articles displayed on social media.
If you rely on NewsGuard’s ratings, you may decide to entirely skip by those with a low “red” rating in favor of the “more trustworthy” green-rated articles — and therein lies the problem.
NewsGuard is in itself fraught with conflicts of interest, as it’s largely funded by Publicis, a global communications giant that’s partnered with Big Pharma, such that it may be viewed more as a censorship tool than an internet watchdog.
Now, NewsGuard has expanded its partnership with Microsoft, co-founded by Billy Boy, which will provide all users of Microsoft Edge browser free access to its questionable ratings, among other services.
xNewsGuard Expands Partnership With Microsoft
Under Microsoft’s NewsGuard expansion, people who use Microsoft Edge’s desktop and mobile browser will have free access to NewsGuard’s ratings, which otherwise must be purchased via a $2.95 monthly subscription fee.
Microsoft’s Bing search engine will also have NewsGuard ratings in real-time, while all other Microsoft departments will also be able to use NewsGuard ratings in their products and services.1
“Projects already underway include the company’s Defending Democracy Program and teams within Microsoft Research who are working on misinformation, disinformation and health care hoaxes,” according to a NewsGuard press release.2
Also under the agreement is Microsoft’s continued sponsorship of NewsGuard’s news literacy program, which is a “unique media literacy teaching tool that guides citizens through the overwhelming landscape of online news and information.”3
More than 700 public libraries from Los Angeles to London, serving more than 7 million patrons, currently use NewsGuard.
The news literacy program exists in the U.S., Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy, and with the expanded partnership it’s expected to roll out in Australia, Canada and other countries in 2020.4
With the news literacy program, librarians will even provide instructions to patrons on how to install the NewsGuard extension on their personal computers, tablets and cellphones.
Once you’ve installed the NewsGuard browser plugin on your computer or cellphone, the NewsGuard icon rating will appear on all Google and Bing searches and on articles featured in your social media news feeds.
The NewsGuard ratings are meant to influence readers, instructing them to disregard content with cautionary colors and cautions — but NewsGuard’s ratings are highly questionable, considering its primary backer, Publicis, is an advertising and data firm that’s been involved in advertising and marketing pharmaceutical products, cigarettes and unhealthy junk food to kids.
For instance, Leo Burnett, the ad company famous for creating the Marlboro man ad campaigns that made Marlboro the best-selling cigarette in the world and led to the nicotine addiction of millions, many of whom died from smoking, is a part of Publicis.5,6
NewsGuard co-CEO Gordon Crovitz stated in a press release, “We are delighted to be able to expand our relationship with Microsoft, which is a leader among companies in taking steps to address the unforeseen, unintended consequences of new technologies …
The internet has empowered people around the world with unprecedented access to information, but the internet has also made it easier than ever for misinformation to spread, including health care hoaxes about COVID-19.”7
Unfortunately, what’s less widely publicized is the widespread deception that can occur when a conflicted start-up company is allowed to dictate what’s truth and what’s not.
Publicis Acquires Big Data Collection Company Epsilon
Publicis was the lead investor among a group of 18 that helped make NewsGuard a reality. As a giant global communications group, Publicis has divisions that brand imaging, design of digital business platforms, media relations and health care.
Publicis Groupe’s health subsidiary, Publicis Health, names Merck, Abbot, Roche, GlaxoSmithKline, Celgene, Sanofi, Johnson & Johnson and other Big Pharma giants as clients, which gives you an idea of where its loyalties lie.8
In early 2020, drug giant GlaxoSmithKline awarded Publicis Media a healthy piece of business, and the communications group responded by creating a custom platformGSK to run the drug giant’s media business; platformGSK in turn added Pfizer Consumer Healthcare to its portfolio, making the total venture worth $1.5 billion.
Publicis also handles other Big Pharma media accounts, including Novartis’. In August 2019, Publicis created NovartisONE2 to manage the pharma giant’s global media account worth $600 million.9
In April 2019, Publicis also announced that it would acquire marketing services company Epsilon in a $4.4 billion deal.10
Epsilon made headlines in 2011 after a massive data breach, but is far from a household name, despite its strong presence in the marketing world. What is Epsilon? CNET explained:11
“In addition to offering e-mail marketing services and managing customer e-mail databases for clients, Epsilon monitors social networking and other sites to see what people are saying about a company, advises on markets to target, helps develop and maintain customer loyalty programs, and offers Abacus, ‘the world’s largest cooperative database with over 8.6 billion consumer transactions and 4.8 billion business transactions’ used for creating lists of prospective customers.
The different data Epsilon sells includes age, profession, residence, ethnic information and political affiliation …”
Digiday further described Epsilon as “a smorgasbord of data given it has more than 250 million U.S. consumers in its database and sends over 71 billion personalized emails each year.”12
Epsilon was also an early adopter of Amazon Alexa, integrating public Alexa data with its own consumer information.13
Until the acquisition — the second largest deal in advertising history — Publicis lacked a major data marketing arm, but now, as Adweek put it, is “firmly in the data business.”14
In addition to owning NewsGuard, Publicis has made deals with other tech companies, including a $500 million, multiyear ad partnership with Facebook in 2014. “Under the terms, Publicis’ agencies and their clients — which include powerful brands like Procter & Gamble, Walmart, Bank of America, McDonald’s and Coca-Cola — will receive discounted rates on a range of Facebook products as well as access to Facebook’s user data and engineers,” according to Entrepreneur.15
In 2013, Publicis also inked a $100 million deal with Google and agreed to purchase millions of dollars in YouTube ads in the next year.16
If NewsGuard continues, it’s very likely Google, Facebook, Twitter and other platforms will use its ratings to lower the visibility of content — making nonconformist views disappear entirely.
NewsGuard Ignores Key Data, Censors Truthful News
Once installed on your browser, NewsGuard assigns a color coded “Nutrition Label” to sites, rating them green or red in a process they said would be “completely transparent and accountable.”17
The nine criteria NewsGuard is using to “protect” you from fake news include:18
A score lower than 60 points gets a red rating, while higher scores get more favorable results, which is intended to provide readers with a “signal if a website is trying to get it right or instead has a hidden agenda or knowingly publishes falsehoods or propaganda.”19
However, NewsGuard’s ratings can’t be taken at face value.
Recently, NewsGuard announced that my site has been classified as fake news because we have reported the SARS-CoV-2 virus as potentially having been leaked from the biosafety level 4 (BSL4) laboratory in Wuhan City, China, the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak.
According to NewsGuard, “There is no evidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the source of the outbreak, and genomic evidence has found that the virus is 96% identical at the whole-genome level to a bat coronavirus.”20
But NewsGuard’s position is in direct conflict with published scientific evidence suggesting this virus was created in a lab and not zoonotically transmitted.
Since my February 4, 2020, article, I’ve become increasingly convinced — through reviewing the scientific literature that NewsGuard ignores or is unaware of — that SARS-CoV-2 may in fact be a synthetic virus, likely created and released (inadvertently or not) from one or more laboratories that worked on weaponizing SARS and bat coronaviruses.
Interestingly, an April 2020 report by CNN reveals China’s censorship of articles mentioning the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 may have leaked from the Wuhan BSL4 facility appears to come from China,21 which means, by essentially also censoring such articles, NewsGuard is functionally protecting Chinese interests and inhibiting scientific inquiry.
Overall, it appears NewsGuard is just another big business aimed at keeping the chemical, drug and food industries, as well as mainstream media, intact by discrediting and eliminating unwanted competition, including yours truly and many others who empower you with information that helps you take control of your health.
Fighting Back Against Fake ‘Fact Checkers’
NewsGuard is backed by the Publicis Groupe, which has been manipulating what people think about commercial products for nearly a century.22
You don’t need this thought police, advertising front group helping you sort through fake news and telling you what’s sound science and what’s not.
There are a number of ways to fight back, including choosing browsers and search engines that do not automatically contain NewsGuard ratings.
In addition, if your local library is using NewsGuard, you can start a campaign to get it removed, while letting others know that NewsGuard is owned by a pharmaceutical public relations/data firm and is engaged in censoring truthful news and scientific freedom.

Human rights organizations, as well as political and social ones, are condemning what they are calling a new form of inhumane exploitation in the United States, where they say a prison population of up to 2 million – mostly Black and Hispanic – are working for various industries for a pittance.
For the tycoons who have invested in the prison industry, it has been like finding a pot of gold. They don’t have to worry about strikes or paying unemployment insurance, vacations or comp time.
All of their workers are full-time, and never arrive late or are absent because of family problems; moreover, if they don’t like the pay of 25 cents an hour and refuse to work, they are locked up in isolation cells.
There are approximately 2 million inmates in state, federal and private prisons throughout the country. According to California Prison Focus, “no other society in human history has imprisoned so many of its own citizens.”
The figures show that the United States has locked up more people than any other country: a half million more than China, which has a population five times greater than the U.S. Statistics reveal that the United States holds 25% of the world’s prison population, but only 5% of the world’s people.
From less than 300,000 inmates in 1972, the jail population grew to 2 million by the year 2000. In 1990 it was one million. Ten years ago there were only five private prisons in the country, with a population of 2,000 inmates; now, there are 100, with 62,000 inmates. It is expected that by the coming decade, the number will hit 360,000, according to reports.
What has happened over the last 10 years? Why are there so many prisoners?
“The private contracting of prisoners for work fosters incentives to lock people up. Prisons depend on this income. Corporate stockholders who make money off prisoners’ work lobby for longer sentences, in order to expand their workforce. The system feeds itself,” says a study by the Progressive Labor Party, which accuses the prison industry of being “an imitation of Nazi Germany with respect to forced slave labor and concentration camps.”
The prison industry complex is one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States and its investors are on Wall Street.
“This multimillion-dollar industry has its own trade exhibitions, conventions, websites, and mail-order/Internet catalogs. It also has direct advertising campaigns, architecture companies, construction companies, investment houses on Wall Street, plumbing supply companies, food supply companies, armed security, and padded cells in a large variety of colors.”
According to the Left Business Observer, the federal prison industry produces 100% of all military helmets, ammunition belts, bullet-proof vests, ID tags, shirts, pants, tents, bags, and canteens.
Along with war supplies, prison workers supply 98% of the entire market for equipment assembly services; 93% of paints and paintbrushes; 92% of stove assembly; 46% of body armor; 36% of home appliances; 30% of headphones/microphones/speakers; and 21% of office furniture. Airplane parts, medical supplies, and much more: prisoners are even raising seeing-eye dogs for blind people.
CRIME GOES DOWN, JAIL POPULATION GOES UP
According to reports by human rights organizations, these are the factors that increase the profit potential for those who invest in the prison industry complex:
Jailing persons convicted of non-violent crimes, and long prison sentences for possession of microscopic quantities of illegal drugs. Federal law stipulates five years’ imprisonment without possibility of parole for possession of 5 grams of crack or 3.5 ounces of heroin, and 10 years for possession of less than 2 ounces of rock-cocaine or crack. A sentence of 5 years for cocaine powder requires possession of 500 grams – 100 times more than the quantity of rock cocaine for the same sentence. Most of those who use cocaine powder are white, middle-class or rich people, while mostly Blacks and Latinos use rock cocaine. In Texas, a person may be sentenced for up to two years’ imprisonment for possessing 4 ounces of marijuana. Here in New York, the 1973 Nelson Rockefeller anti-drug law provides for a mandatory prison sentence of 15 years to life for possession of 4 ounces of any illegal drug.
The passage in 13 states of the “three strikes” laws (life in prison after being convicted of three felonies), made it necessary to build 20 new federal prisons. One of the most disturbing cases resulting from this measure was that of a prisoner who for stealing a car and two bicycles received three 25-year sentences.
Longer sentences.
The passage of laws that require minimum sentencing, without regard for circumstances.
A large expansion of work by prisoners creating profits that motivate the incarceration of more people for longer periods of time.
More punishment of prisoners, so as to lengthen their sentences.
HISTORY OF PRISON LABOR IN THE UNITED STATES
Prison labor has its roots in slavery. After the 1861-1865 Civil War, a system of “hiring out prisoners” was introduced in order to continue the slavery tradition.
Freed slaves were charged with not carrying out their sharecropping commitments (cultivating someone else’s land in exchange for part of the harvest) or petty thievery – which were almost never proven – and were then “hired out” for cotton picking, working in mines and building railroads.
From 1870 until 1910 in the state of Georgia, 88% of hired-out convicts were Black. In Alabama, 93% of “hired-out” miners were Black. In Mississippi, a huge prison farm similar to the old slave plantations replaced the system of hiring out convicts. The notorious Parchman plantation existed until 1972.
During the post-Civil War period, Jim Crow racial segregation laws were imposed on every state, with legal segregation in schools, housing, marriages and many other aspects of daily life.
“Today, a new set of markedly racist laws is imposing slave labor and sweatshops on the criminal justice system, now known as the prison industry complex,” comments the Left Business Observer.
Who is investing? At least 37 states have legalized the contracting of prison labor by private corporations that mount their operations inside state prisons.
The list of such companies contains the cream of U.S. corporate society: IBM, Boeing, Motorola, Microsoft, AT&T, Wireless, Texas Instrument, Dell, Compaq, Honeywell, Hewlett-Packard, Nortel, Lucent Technologies, 3Com, Intel, Northern Telecom, TWA, Nordstrom’s, Revlon, Macy’s, Pierre Cardin, Target Stores, and many more.
All of these businesses are excited about the economic boom generation by prison labor.
Just between 1980 and 1994, profits went up from $392 million to $1.31 billion. Inmates in state penitentiaries generally receive the minimum wage for their work, but not all; in Colorado, they get about $2 per hour, well under the minimum.
And in privately-run prisons, they receive as little as 17 cents per hour for a maximum of six hours a day, the equivalent of $20 per month. The highest-paying private prison is CCA in Tennessee, where prisoners receive 50 cents per hour for what they call “highly skilled positions.”
At those rates, it is no surprise that inmates find the pay in federal prisons to be very generous. There, they can earn $1.25 an hour and work eight hours a day, and sometimes overtime. They can send home $200-$300 per month.
Thanks to prison labor, the United States is once again an attractive location for investment in work that was designed for Third World labor markets. A company that operated a maquiladora (assembly plant in Mexico near the border) closed down its operations there and relocated to San Quentin State Prison in California.
In Texas, a factory fired its 150 workers and contracted the services of prisoner-workers from the private Lockhart Texas prison, where circuit boards are assembled for companies like IBM and Compaq.
[Former] Oregon State Representative Kevin Mannix recently urged Nike to cut its production in Indonesia and bring it to his state, telling the shoe manufacturer that “there won’t be any transportation costs; we’re offering you competitive prison labor (here).”
PRIVATE PRISONS
The prison privatization boom began in the 1980s, under the governments of Ronald Reagan and Bush Sr., but reached its height in 1990 under William Clinton, when Wall Street stocks were selling like hotcakes.
Clinton’s program for cutting the federal workforce resulted in the Justice Departments contracting of private prison corporations for the incarceration of undocumented workers and high-security inmates.
Private prisons are the biggest business in the prison industry complex. About 18 corporations guard 10,000 prisoners in 27 states. The two largest are Correctional Corporation of America (CCA) and Wackenhut, which together control 75%. Private prisons receive a guaranteed amount of money for each prisoner, independent of what it costs to maintain each one.
Related: The Secret Meeting That Changed Rap Music Forever;
According to Russell Boraas, a private prison administrator in Virginia, “the secret to low operating costs is having a minimal number of guards for the maximum number of prisoners.” The CCA has an ultra-modern prison in Lawrenceville, Virginia, where five guards on dayshift and two at night watch over 750 prisoners.
In these prisons, inmates may get their sentences reduced for “good behavior,” but for any infraction, they get 30 days added – which means more profits for CCA. According to a study of New Mexico prisons, it was found that CCA inmates lost “good behavior time” at a rate eight times higher than those in state prisons.
IMPORTING AND EXPORTING INMATES
Profits are so good that now there is a new business: importing inmates with long sentences, meaning the worst criminals. When a federal judge ruled that overcrowding in Texas prisons was cruel and unusual punishment, the CCA signed contracts with sheriffs in poor counties to build and run new jails and share the profits.
According to a December 1998 Atlantic Monthly magazine article, this program was backed by investors from Merrill-Lynch, Shearson-Lehman, American Express and Allstate, and the operation was scattered all over rural Texas.
That state’s governor, Ann Richards, followed the example of Mario Cuomo in New York and built so many state prisons that the market became flooded, cutting into private prison profits.
After a law signed by Clinton in 1996 – ending court supervision and decisions – caused overcrowding and violent, unsafe conditions in federal prisons, private prison corporations in Texas began to contact other states whose prisons were overcrowded, offering “rent-a-cell” services in the CCA prisons located in small towns in Texas. The commission for a rent-a-cell salesman is $2.50 to $5.50 per day per bed. The county gets $1.50 for each prisoner.
STATISTICS
Ninety-seven percent of 125,000 federal inmates have been convicted of non-violent crimes. It is believed that more than half of the 623,000 inmates in municipal or county jails are innocent of the crimes they are accused of. Of these, the majority are awaiting trial.
Two-thirds of the one million state prisoners have committed non-violent offenses. Sixteen percent of the country’s 2 million prisoners suffer from mental illness.

Dr. Kendrick: I’ve Signed Death Certificates During Covid-19. Here’s Why You Can’t Trust Any of the Statistics on the Number of Victims

I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to know that the cause of death , as written on death certificates , is often little more than an educated guess .

Then , along comes Covid-19 , and many of the rules – such as they were – went straight out the window .
At one point , it was even suggested that relatives could fill in death certificates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Though I am not sure this ever happened .
What were we now supposed to do ?
If an elderly person died in a care home , or at home , did they die of Covid-19 ?
Well , frankly , who knows ?
Especially if they didn ’ t have a test for Covid-19 – which for several weeks was not even allowed .
Only patients entering hospital were deemed worthy of a test .
No-one else .
What advice was given ?
It varied throughout the country , and from coroner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ day .
Was every person in a care home now to be diagnosed as dying of the coronavirus ?
Well , that was certainly the advice given in several parts of the UK .
Where I work , things were left more open .
I discussed things with colleagues and there was very little consensus .
I put Covid-19 on a couple of certificates , and not on a couple of others .
Based on how the person seemed to die .
I do know that other doctors put down Covid-19 on anyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I didn ’ t .
What can be made of the statistics created from data like these ?
And does it matter ?
It matters greatly for two main reasons .
First , if we vastly overestimate deaths from Covid-19 , we will greatly underestimate the harm caused by the lockdown .
This issue was looked at in a recent article published in the BMJ , The British Medical Journal .
“ Only a third of the excess deaths seen in the community in England and Wales can be explained by Covid-19 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Winton Centre for Risk and Evidence Communication at the University of Cambridge , said that Covid-19 did not explain the high number of deaths taking place in the community.

We know that A & E attendances have fallen by over fifty percent since lockdown .
Admissions with chest pain have dropped by over fifty percent .
Did these people just die at home ?
From my own perspective , I have certainly found it extremely difficult to get elderly patients @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with one old chap who was found to have sepsis , not Covid-19 .
Had he died in the care home ; he would almost certainly have been diagnosed as “ dying of Covid.
” The bottom line here is that , if we do not diagnose deaths accurately , we will never know how many died of Covid-19 , or ‘ because of ’ the lockdown .
Those supporting lockdown , and advising governments , can point to how deadly Covid was , and say we were right to do what we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that lockdown itself was just as deadly .
Directing care away from everything else , to deal with a single condition .
Keeping sick , ill , vulnerable people away from hospitals .
The other reason why having accurate statistics is vitally important is in planning for the future .
We have to accurately know what happened this time , in order to plan for the next pandemic , which seems almost inevitable as the world grows more crowded .
What are the benefits of lockdown , what are the harms ?
What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus strikes ?
If Covid-19 killed 30,000 , and lockdown killed the other 30,000 , then the lockdown was a complete and utter waste of time .
and should never happen again .
The great fear is that this would be a message this government does not want to hear – so they will do everything possible not to hear it .
It will be decreed that all the excess deaths we have seen this year were due to Covid-19 .
That escape route will be made far easier if no-one has any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus disease , and who did not .
Yes , the data on Covid-19 deaths really matters .

As an NHS doctor, I’ve seen people die and be listed as a victim of coronavirus without ever being tested for it.

I suppose most people would be somewhat surprised to know that the cause of death, as written on death certificates, is often little more than an educated guess.

If I saw them in the last two weeks of life, what do I think was the most likely cause of death?

I do know that other doctors put down Covid-19 on anyone who died from early March onwards. I didn’t.
What can be made of the statistics created from data like these? And does it matter?
It matters greatly for two main reasons. First, if we vastly overestimate deaths from Covid-19, we will greatly underestimate the harm caused by the lockdown.
This issue was looked at in a recent article published in the BMJ, The British Medical Journal.
It stated:
“Only a third of the excess deaths seen in the community in England and Wales can be explained by Covid-19.
“… David Spiegelhalter, chair of the Winton Centre for Risk and Evidence Communication at the University of Cambridge, said that Covid-19 did not explain the high number of deaths taking place in the community.”
“At a briefing hosted by the Science Media Centre on May 12 he explained that, over the past five weeks, care homes and other community settings had had to deal with a ‘staggering burden’ of 30,000 more deaths than would normally be expected, as patients were moved out of hospitals that were anticipating high demand for beds.
“Of those 30,000, only 10 000 have had Covid-19 specified on the death certificate. While Spiegelhalter acknowledged that some of these ‘excess deaths’ might be the result of underdiagnosis, ‘the huge number of unexplained extra deaths in homes and care homes is extraordinary.
“When we look back … this rise in non-covid extra deaths outside the hospital is something I hope will be given really severe attention.’ He added that many of these deaths would be among people ‘who may well have lived longer if they had managed to get to hospital.’”
What Speigelhalter is saying here is that people may well be dying ‘because of’ Covid, or rather, because of the lockdown.
Because they are not going to hospital to be treated for conditions other than Covid. We know that A&E attendances have fallen by over fifty percent since lockdown.
Admissions with chest pain have dropped by over fifty percent. Did these people just die at home?
From my own perspective, I have certainly found it extremely difficult to get elderly patients admitted to hospital.
I recently managed with one old chap who was found to have sepsis, not Covid-19. Had he died in the care home; he would almost certainly have been diagnosed as “dying of Covid.”
The bottom line here is that, if we do not diagnose deaths accurately, we will never know how many died of Covid-19, or ‘because of’ the lockdown.

The other reason why having accurate statistics is vitally important is in planning for the future.
We have to accurately know what happened this time, in order to plan for the next pandemic, which seems almost inevitable as the world grows more crowded.
What are the benefits of lockdown, what are the harms? What should we do next time a deadly virus strikes?
If Covid-19 killed 30,000, and lockdown killed the other 30,000, then the lockdown was a complete and utter waste of time. and should never happen again.
The great fear is that this would be a message this government does not want to hear – so they will do everything possible not to hear it.
It will be decreed that all the excess deaths we have seen this year were due to Covid-19. That escape route will be made far easier if no-one has any real idea who actually died of the coronavirus disease, and who did not.
Yes, the data on Covid-19 deaths really matters.

The video is seemingly shot by a person waiting to be seen, while nurses congregate through the entire corridor, messing around with mops.
Several other hospital staff are seen in the video standing around watching or filming the action themselves.
The craze has exploded since the coronavirus outbreak, with videos of dancing nurses appearing daily.

humansarefree--2020-05-29--COVID Vaccine: What Else Could They Put in the Shot?

There has never been a greater opportunity to deploy one vaccine against so many people .
So it ’ s certainly not out of line to consider a “ dual use.
” I have already covered the devastating effects of experimental RNA/DNA vaccine technologies — both of which could be launched with a COVID vaccine .
Putting that aside for the moment , could the vaccine serve another purpose ?
In this article , I raise questions .
Questions about the potential covert use of nanotechnology in the COVID vaccine .
“ The branch of technology that deals with dimensions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , especially the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules.
” Are researchers interested in marrying nanotechnology and vaccines ?
Here is a quote from Frontiers in Immunology , January 24 , 2019 , “ Nanoparticle-Based Vaccines Against Respiratory Viruses ” : “ A new generation of vaccines based on nanoparticles has shown great potential to address most of the limitations of conventional and subunit vaccines .
“ This is due to recent advances in chemical and biological engineering , which allow the design of nanoparticles with a precise control over the size , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leading to enhanced antigen presentation and strong immunogenicity .
“ This short review provides an overview of the advantages associated with the use of nanoparticles as vaccine delivery platforms to immunize against respiratory viruses… ” [ such as the purported COVID-19 virus ? ]
Here is another quote , also from Frontiers in Immunology , October 4 , 2018 , “ Nanoparticle Vaccines Against Infectious Diseases ” : “ In the last several years , the use of nanoparticle-based vaccines has received a great attention to improve vaccine efficacy , immunization strategies , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ responses at the cellular level… “ Nanocarriers composed of lipids , proteins , metals or polymers have already been used… This review article focuses on the applications of nanocarrier-based vaccine formulations and the strategies used for the functionalization of nanoparticles to accomplish efficient delivery of vaccines in order to induce desired host immunity against infectious diseases.
” There can be no doubt that nanotechnology is , indeed , very much involved in cutting-edge vaccine research .
Now let ’ s shift into another use of nanotech .
Here are astonishing quotes from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ paper titled : Its authors are Chinese and American : “ …advances can enable investigations of dynamics in the brain [ through nano-sensor-implants ] and drive the development of new brain-machine interfaces with unprecedented resolution and precision.
” “ …output electrical signals of brain activity or input electrical stimuli to modulate brain activity in concert with external machines , including computer processors and prosthetics , for human enhancement… ” Aside from research into prosthetics and , perhaps , the reversal of certain paralyses , this avenue of investigation also suggests “ modulation ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , for the purpose of control .
Modulation… such as control of basic thought-impulses , sensations , emotions ?
ONE : Nano-sensors , implanted in the body and brain , would issue real time data-reports on body/brain functioning to ops centers .
TWO : And from those ops centers , data — including instructions — would be sent back to the nano-sensors , which would impose those instructions on the brain and body .
If this seems impossible , consider nanotech research aimed at improving the use of prosthetics .
In that field @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be the whole point .
The question is : how far along the road of development is this technology ?
I can only say we are seeing the public published face of nanotech .
What lies behind it , in secret research , is a matter for estimation and speculation .
I offer one speculation : the “ promotion ” of the social agenda of collectivist thought , through nanotech .
Utilizing the Internet of Things , an attempt would be made to hook up and “ harmonize ” many , many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feelings , same impulses — shared .
Who would be interested in such a program ?
Think Chinese government , DARPA ( the technology arm of the Pentagon ) , and numerous other international actors .
Think Rockefeller medical researchers .
Think technocracy and Brave New World .
SUPPOSE , THROUGH A COVID VACCINE , NANOTECH COULD BE INSERTED INTO BODIES AND BRAINS OF THE GLOBAL POPULATION ?
As a grand control “ experiment.
” Is that too far-out an idea ?
Here is an interesting quote from a 3/11/20 S & P @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for ‘ inflection point ’ ” : “ One of the most pressing global healthcare challenges in 2020 is the coronavirus outbreak and Moderna Inc… is on the front line of vaccine development for this new biological threat.
” “ Moderna ’ s nanoparticle-driven science uses genetic engineering to trigger cells to create proteins that prevent certain infections .
Its vaccines for Zika virus and influenza have already progressed to early clinical stages… ” If Moderna ’ s COVID vaccine is indeed using nanoparticles , I have not seen this mentioned in current @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leaders in the field of biological nanotech engineering is Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Robert Langer , who has helped found about 40 companies based on technology created and developed in his Langer Lab… Moderna Inc. , one of the companies Langer helped found… ” Does Moderna ’ s COVID vaccine use nanoparticles ?
If so , what can these particles actually do ?
These are pressing questions that need to be answered .
I offer two backgrounders I wrote several months ago .
They involve the flood of highly significant scientific research @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the explosive Charles Lieber nanotech scandal Once upon a time , they called it espionage .
Then they called it “ illegal technology transfer.
” Then they casually and admiringly called it Globalism .
A cutting-edge technology , which has applications for weaponry , transportation , medicine , artificial intelligence , surveillance , mind control… is being openly shared between the US and China .
And by implication , who knows how many other nations ?
As just one example , tiny sensors would , up the road , be placed inside the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ monitor and report thousands of changes , in real time , in the body—as a way of diagnosing diseases .
The sensors will transmit all this information , through the emerging Internet of Things—using the 5G pipeline — to medical centers — where AI corporate and government analysts will make the disease diagnoses and prescribe treatments .
Eventually , a few billion people ( patients ) would , through these sensors in their bodies , be hooked up to the 5G Internet of Things .
HOWEVER , as I ’ ve reported many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ definitions of diseases and disorders are often incorrect , or even invented .
But because the future system I ’ ve just sketched is automated , the patient is enclosed in a fake and dangerous bubble .
Among other problems , the disease treatments , the drugs and vaccines , are toxic .
What is the technology that is on the way to producing these body sensors ?
“ The branch of technology that deals with dimensions and tolerances of less than 100 nanometers , especially the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the world was recently arrested on a charge of concealing his connections to China .
Major US science star busted by the feds .
Charles Lieber , now suspended by Harvard , is the University ’ s chairman of the chemistry department .
I have read two articles from a foreign news outlet headlined with the claim that Lieber stole and smuggled the “ new coronavirus ” from the US to China .
In both cases , the text of the articles mentioned nothing about such a theft .
I ’ m @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” I ’ ve been writing many articles rejecting the premise of an “ epidemic ” caused by the “ virus.
” I decided to look into this situation , because Lieber does apparently have big-time connections to China .
Sharing research on his specialty , nanoscience , with China would be one more case of “ technology transfer.
” Bloomberg News , February 12 , 2020 : “ Lieber ’ s arrest on Jan. 28 came in connection with his dealings in China .
He hasn ’ t been charged with any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or export violations .
Instead , he ’ s accused of lying to U.S. Department of Defense investigators about his work with the People ’ s Republic… ” “ …by targeting Lieber , the chairman of Harvard ’ s chemistry department and a veritable ivory tower blue blood , prosecutors struck at the crimson heart of the academic elite , raising fears that globalism , when it comes to doing science with China , is being criminalized.
” “ According to a government affidavit , signed by a Federal Bureau of Investigation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at least three agreements with Wuhan Technology University , or WUT , in central China .
“ These included a contract with the state-sponsored Thousand Talents Plan — an effort by Beijing to attract mostly expatriate [ Chinese ] researchers and their know-how back home — worth a total of about $ 653,000 a year in pay [ to Lieber ] and living expenses for three years , plus $ 1.74 million [ to Lieber ] to support a new ‘ Harvard-WUT Nano Key Lab ’ in Wuhan .
“ The government offered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sums… Lieber also deceived Harvard about his China contracts , the [ federal ] affidavit said.
” “ Whatever extracurricular arrangements Lieber may have had in China , his Harvard lab was a paragon of U.S.-China collaboration .
“ He relied on a pipeline of China ’ s brightest Ph.D. students and postdocs , often more than a dozen at a time , to produce prize-winning research on the revolutionary potential of so-called nanowires in biomedical implants .
“ Dozens of Lieber ’ s 100 or so former lab members from China have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Many now lead their own nanoscience labs at top universities , including Duke , Georgia Tech , MIT , Stanford , University of California at Berkeley , and UCLA.
” I ’ d say that ’ s a pretty big technology-transfer WOW right there .
“ In the 1990s and 2000s , as Lieber ’ s achievements and stature were taking off , U.S. research institutions and grant makers pumped money and moral support into expanding the burgeoning collaborations between scientists in the U.S. and other countries , particularly China .
“ The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an emerging economic power , and Lieber ’ s lab became an exemplar of pan-Pacific collaboration.
“ Another WOW .
Not a leak of information .
A flood .
“ A more controversial Lieber protégé is Liqiang Mai , the international dean and chair of materials science at WUT , the little-known school in Wuhan that prosecutors allege recruited Lieber to be a ‘ strategic scientist ’ in 2011 , for $ 50,000 a month .
Mai , who hasn ’ t been named in any U.S. filings against Lieber , earned a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a postdoc in Lieber ’ s lab from 2008 to 2011 , according to Mai ’ s WUT online bio….
” Wikpedia : “ Charles M. Lieber ( born 1959 ) is an American chemist and pioneer in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology .
“ In 2011 , Lieber was recognized by Thomson Reuters as the leading chemist in the world for the decade 2000-2010 based on the impact of his scientific publications .
“ Lieber has published over 400 papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals and has edited and contributed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the principal inventor on over fifty issued US patents and applications , and founded the nanotechnology company Nanosys in 2001 and Vista Therapeutics in 2007 .
“ He is known for his contributions to the synthesis , assembly and characterization of nanoscale materials and nanodevices , the application of nanoelectronic devices in biology , and as a mentor to numerous leaders in nanoscience .
In 2012 , Lieber was awarded Israel ’ s Wolf Prize in Chemistry.
” “ In addition , Lieber allegedly signed a contract that obligated Harvard to become part @ @ @ @ @ @ @ WUT [ Chinese ] scientists to visit the university up to two months each year .
“ The [ federal ] complaint says he did not inform university officials of the agreement , which was for ‘ advanced research and development of nano wire-based lithium-ion batteries with high performance for electric vehicles ’ .
” Another “ technology transfer ” of great value .
“ …the NIH [ US National Institutes of Health , a federal agency ] asked Harvard about whether the university or Lieber failed to disclose his financial relationship with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ investigator on at least three NIH grants totaling $ 10 million since 2008 .
“ After interviewing Lieber , Harvard [ incorrectly , supposedly based on Lieber ’ s statements ] responded to the NIH that he [ Lieber ] had ‘ no formal association with WUT [ Wuhan Institute of Technology ] ’ and ‘ is not and has never been a participant in ’ the [ Chinese ] Thousand Talents program.
” NIH has strict regulations about its researchers disclosing their conflict-of-interest connections .
The feds obviously believe Lieber has failed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This would become a factor in his prosecution .
Lieber was operating a robust center at Harvard : Lieber Research Group .
Its focus is nanoscience and nanotechnology .
So it ’ s natural to ask , what kind of research findings would be shared with China ?
On the Group ’ s website , there is this , right off the bat : “ We are pioneering the interface between nanoelectronics and the life sciences…sensors for real-time disease detection… ” Hence , the picture of the future I sketched at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ report further on nanoscience .
Of course , the ominous technological innovations apply to both China and the US , and the rest of the world… The Chinese government has the clout , will , force , and intent to impose , without hesitation , every sort of possible control on its 1.4 billion citizens .
It is in the process of building many new “ smart cities.
” These centers will be models of wall-to-wall surveillance .
If nanoscience can achieve much more intimate access to people , through implanted sensors , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jump at the chance to deploy it ?
The rationale and the cover story are obvious : WE MUST HAVE EARLY KNOWLEDGE OF NEW VIRUS EPIDEMICS .
WE WILL DETECT THEM DIRECTLY FROM THE BODIES OF OUR PEOPLE IN REAL TIME .
BACKGROUNDER TWO : Nano-technology : one world , one brain From lexico.com : nanotechnology : “ The branch of technology that deals with dimensions and tolerances of less than 100 nanometers , especially the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules.
” The recent arrest of Harvard pioneer in the field of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of lying to federal authorities about his business connections to China — has exposed wide-ranging relationships among American and Chinese researchers .
These relationships include , above all , the open sharing of sensitive technologies that , once upon a time , would have been considered closely guarded state secrets .
Here are quotes from the journal Nano Today , from a 2019 paper titled : “ Nanowire probes could drive high-resolution brain-machine interfaces ” .
Its authors are Chinese and American : “ …advances can enable investigations of dynamics in the brain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the development of new brain-machine interfaces with unprecedented resolution and precision.
” “ …output electrical signals of brain activity or input electrical stimuli to modulate brain activity in concert with external machines , including computer processors and prosthetics , for human enhancement… ” Aside from research into prosthetics and , perhaps , the reversal of certain paralyses , this avenue of investigation also suggests “ modulation ” of the brain , hooked to machines , for the purpose of control .
Control of basic thoughts , sensations , emotions .
And along with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t that control eventually be extended , in order to “ harmonize ” many , many brains with one another ?
Who would be interested in such a thing ?
Think Chinese government , DARPA ( the technology arm of the Pentagon ) , and numerous other international actors .
Think Rockefeller medical researchers .
Think technocracy and Brave New World .
Over the past few decades , the flow of all sorts of ultra-sensitive scientific information , between the US and China , hasn ’ t consisted of rare leaks .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the open , in labs and universities .
All part of the new share-and-care Globalist agenda .
Nanotechnology , to choose one branch of such research-exchange , has applications in weaponry , transportation , surveillance , medicine , etc .
And of course , mind control .
“ Look , I ’ m certainly willing to share my latest research on nano-brain implants .
But I need your , ahem , assurance that your government won ’ t use this for dark purposes.
” “ I understand completely .
My government would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would.
” How did US-China relations get to this point ?
At one time , it appeared the two governments were involved in a cold war .
Oh , that ’ s right , President Nixon opened up China to trade , in 1972 , after 25 years of no diplomatic relations .
Nixon was the agent of David Rockefeller , who , years earlier , had rescued him from a broken career as a politician .
David Rockefeller , arch Globalist .
Here ’ s what Rockefeller blithely wrote in 1973 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ China miracle : “ Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution , it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration , but also in fostering high morale and community of purpose .
“ The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao ’ s leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history.
” ( “ From a China Traveler ” .
NY Times .
August 10 , 1973 . )
Millions of people dead , freedom crushed , a whole population under the boot of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s not what David Rockefeller saw , or pretended to see .
He , like other of his elite Globalist colleagues , admired the Chinese government for the capacity to control its own people , to such a high degree .
Flash forward 47 years .
Scientists from both countries are blowing each other kisses , as they collaborate on developing a technology that has the potential to gain intimate influence inside the human brain itself .
Of course , remember , when political push comes to shove , and it always @ @ @ @ @ @ @ China .
In the case of American corporate and government big shots , hometown loyalty tends to be conditional , depending on which sources and countries are putting money on the table .

In 1960, medical studies determined that the Salk injectable polio jjab (IPV) contained the Simian Virus 40 (SV40). SV40 is a cancer-causing virus originating from minced rhesus monkey kidney cells that were used to manufacture the polio jjab.
From the mid-50s until 1960, the SV40-tainted jjab had been administered to about 98 million adults and children.
After 1960, millions of more of the tainted jjabs were being manufactured and administered. Federal regulators did not recall the affected polio jjab until 1963. Dr. Sabin, who developed the first working polio jjab, had this to say about the cover-up:
“…Theres too much scaring the public unnecessarily. Oh your children were injected with a cancer virus and all that. That’s not very good!”
Medical researchers attribute the elevated rise in soft-tissue cancers in the last 50 years, many of which were almost unknown before the introduction of the polio jjab, to the SV40 virus contamination.
Clandestine medical research specializing in engineering deadly cancers as a bio-weapon
Soon after the discovery of the cancer-causing virus, the U.S. Government commissioned covert projects with the purpose of weaponizing cancer.
Dr. Alton Ochsner, who pioneered early studies linking smoking to cancer, was instrumental in overseeing the cancer-causing virus project in New Orleans. His hospital was one of the 159 covert research centers established by the CIA.
Dr. Mary Sherman, an expert in cancer research, was selected to supervise the secret research related to the SV40 virus. The monkey viruses were radiated by a linear particular accelerator to alter the genetic components in the virus. The monkey viruses would then be injected into mice to study the developing tumors.
In 1964, Dr. Sherman was found brutally murdered in her apartment (she had been stabbed multiple times and her right arm and rib cage had been burnt away). Her fascinating story is detailed in the book Dr. Mary’s Monkey.
The following Coast to Coast AM interview with the author of Dr. Mary’s Monkey is absolutely crucial to the investigation:
Judyth Vary Baker and Lee Harvey Oswald’s involvement in the program
In the spring of 1963, 19-year-old Judyth Vary Baker was invited to join Dr. Ochsner in New Orleans. Baker was an exceptionally gifted student from Florida dedicated to cancer research. Soon after arriving in New Orleans, she began a romantic relationship with Lee Harvey Oswald, who informed her of his role as an intelligence agent.
Judyth Vary Baker, author of Me & Lee: How I Came to Know, Love and Lose Lee Harvey Oswald
Oswald introduced Baker to David Ferrie, who according to Jim Garrison, was a key figure in the JFK assassination and “one of history’s most important individuals.”
Ferrie revealed information to Baker about a secret government assassination plot directed against Fidel Castro. By injecting Castro with cancer, the U.S. Government would avoid the usual suspicion that a violent assassination would generate.
Baker and Oswald were assigned cover jobs at the Reily Coffee Company (confirmed by Baker’s pay stubs and tax statements). Her real work was in Ferrie’s apartment, portions of which had been converted into a laboratory. Baker worked with 50-60 mice at a time, which had developed tumors due to cancer injections.
Baker would kill the mice, and then cut off and weigh the tumors. The excised tumor material would then be blended together. Baker would then make tissue cell cultures from the most vigorous and deadly cancers.
She would then compile reports on the tests and take them to Dr. Mary Sherman to review. Oswald acted as a go between for the covert program participants, among other assigned clandestine activities.
Dr. Mary Sherman — her incinerated body, as described by Ed Haslam in the above Coast to Coast AM interview, can be seen here (viewer discretion)
Baker learned that prisoners from the Angola Penitentiary were to be used as guinea pigs for testing the weaponized cancer-causing virus. In a written letter, Baker stated ethical objections to the testing that made her an enemy of Dr. Ochsner.
As a result, she left the project and returned to Florida with her husband. Soon after, Oswald embarked upon a failed attempt to secure a transit visa to Cuba via Mexico City to transport the weaponized cancer virus.
