VigilentCitizen report: To promote its “mixed reality: device Hololens 2, Microsoft teamed up with prominent occultist Marina Abramovic to create an art project named The Life.
In a promotional video posted on Microsoft’s official YouTube account, Abramovic is described as the “most legendary performance artist working now”.
The art project consists of people wearing the Holohens device to witness a ghostly version of Abramovic appearing out of nowhere while walking around while wearing a symbolic red dress.
In the video, which was released on Good Friday, Marina says that the project allows her to attain a form of immortality.
“The Life is dealing with what is going to stay after I’m not there anymore, and I can face myself, and this frightening experience. Really like you’re facing your own ghost, but it is always this greater idea of immortality. Once you die the work could never die because the work of art can continue. In performance, the piece is only in the memory of the audience and nowhere else. Here I am kept forever.”

Microsoft also removed all traces of the campaign from its official website – although it still appears in Google search results:
The fact that powerful entities such as Microsoft keep showering Abramovic with infinite praise is quite telling. Because it doesn’t take much in-depth research to understand what she is truly about.
This picture of Abramovic in ELLE Magazine sums up everything she is about. She holds the head of a goat by the horns (representing the drawing of “power” from Baphomet) while wearing a red dress (symbolic of the transformative powers of occult ritual and sacrifice).
Mainstream sources describe Marina Abramovic as a performance artist who is known for “confronting pain, blood, and physical limits of the body”. More importantly, there’s a powerful element the permeates all of her works: Occult ritual.
For decades, Abramovic has been associating with the world’s most prominent artists, celebrities and politicians in events that are permeated with elements of black magic. In recent years, she became mostly known for inviting John Podesta to one of her “Spirit Cooking” events which involve lots of blood and other bodily fluids. Here’s a video dating from 1997 where she prepared such an event.
Abramovic is also known for organizing massive gathering with celebrities partaking in mock cannibalism.
Marina Abramovic and Lady Gaga at an event that took place at Watermill Center in 2013. In this picture, they stand before a woman lying in what looks like a pool of blood. Guests scooped that blood with spoons to eat it up. The event was dubbed “Devil’s Heaven”. Can’t make this up.
In another Marina Abramovic event, guests wear lab coats as they partake in mock-cannibalism.
In yet another event hosted by Abramovic, a cake in the likeness of Blondie’s Debbie Harry is cut up and eaten by guests. If that’s what they do in public events, one can only wonder what they actually do behind closed doors.
In this magazine photoshoot, Abramovic stands before a model with her innards exposed.
What do you think this picture alludes to?
To sum everything up, Abramovic’s Twitter handle used to be AbramovicM666.
In Conclusion
There is symbolism in releasing a video on Good Friday where an occultist talks about achieving immortality. There is also symbolism in the fact that the founder of this company is out there using a pandemic to push a global vaccine that could be paired with a microchip device.
It doesn’t take a fertile imagination to connect some dots and to understand the underlying philosophy going on here.
If you don’t see it, well, you’re kind of like that poor boy with his eyes covered by Abramovic … blinded by the occult elite.

A Holland Walmart blocked off baby seats and items for newborns, Kerri Dennis posted on Facebook on Friday.

“Since when is a car seat non-essential?” she wondered, before later writing to say the store removed the caution tape because “so many people were calling.”
At another Walmart, bug spray and pest repellent were cordoned off.
So this is Michigan right now. The Walmart by my house. We are no longer allowed to purchase non-essential items in the store. pic.twitter.com/wJqWigFVta — Unknown (@usrnamenotavail) April 10, 2020
“Attention Customers,” the sign read. “By order of the State of Michigan, items in this ‘non-essential’ area are not available for purchase.”
The store invited shoppers to visit its website to purchase them.
Another resident visited a gardening store, and found she was unable to buy seeds. She posted several pictures showing the warning signs posted:
Today's visit to the Garden Store. This one isn't on line like the Big Box stores. Thanks Fuehrer of Michigan Frau Whitmer! You can't buy anything lawn or garden related. pic.twitter.com/LFi0ypEp87 — Beri (@sniffydogs) April 11, 2020
“These items are not currently for sale,” the orange signs read over vegetable seeds.
This store blocked the sale of rugs, patio furniture, and other outdoor items:

newspunch--2020-04-15--Barack Obama Demands ‘Pathway to Citizenship’ for Illegals

Former President Barack Obama has weighed in on the coronavirus crisis by demanding that illegal alien “ Dreamers ” are granted a “ pathway to citizenship ” amid the global outbreak .
Obama says that DACA illegals “ deserve permanent immigration status ” because they are “ risking their lives fighting on the frontlines of this pandemic.
” “ Dreamers have contributed so much to our country , and they are risking their lives fighting on the frontlines of this pandemic , ” Obama said .
“ They deserve permanent immigration status and a pathway to citizenship—as they are Americans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Breitbart.com reports : Center for Immigration Studies Research Director Steven Camarotta has noted that DACA illegal aliens make up about 0.2 percent of the nation ’ s nearly 15 million healthcare workers .
In New York , where a staggering number of DACA illegal aliens reside , they still only account for about 0.2 percent of the state ’ s healthcare workers , according to Camarotta .
Obama ’ s lobbying for a DACA amnesty in the middle of the coronavirus crisis comes as House Democrats — including Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Joaquin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lofgren ( D-CA ) , and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( D-NY ) — have sent a letter to the Trump administration demanding DACA illegal aliens have their work authorizations extended .
“ Support of DACA recipients during the current pandemic is particularly critical as over 200,000 DACA recipients are in occupations and industry groups that render them ‘ essential critical infrastructure workers , ’ according to DHS guidance , ” the House Democrats wrote in their letter .
A DACA amnesty would put more citizen children of illegal aliens — known as “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as Breitbart News reported , while American taxpayers would be left potentially with a $ 26 billion bill .
Additionally , about one-in-five DACA illegal aliens , after an amnesty , would end up on food stamps , while at least one-in-seven would go on Medicaid .
Any plan to give amnesty to DACA illegal aliens that does not also include provisions to halve legal immigration levels — the U.S. admits about 1.2 million legal immigrants a year at the expense of America ’ s working and middle class — would give @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the country .
At the southern border , a DACA amnesty has the potential to trigger a border surge that could triple the number of illegal aliens pouring through the border .
Since DACA ’ s inception , more than 2,100 recipients of the program have been kicked off because they were found to either be criminals or gang members .

Chinese business records the DCNF accessed Tuesday still name Hunter Biden as a director of BHR. He also retains a 10% equity stake in BHR through his company, Skaneateles LLC, business records for the Chinese private equity firm show.
BHR manages the equivalent of $2.1 billion in assets, according to its website. Hunter Biden has served as an unpaid member of BHR’s board since its founding in 2013, and in October 2017 he obtained his equity stake in the firm with a $420,000 investment, according to Mesires.
Hunter Biden had arranged for then-Vice President Joe Biden to shake hands with the CEO of BHR in December 2013, a meeting that caused some White House advisors to worry whether the younger Biden was exposing his father to criticism, The New Yorker reported.
In a statement issued Oct. 13 by his lawyer, Hunter Biden pledged to resign his position on BHR’s board “on or by October 31.” The statement did not say whether Hunter Biden intended to relinquish his ownership stake in the Chinese private equity firm.
Hunter Biden’s pledge received widespread media coverage in The Washington Post, The New York Times and elsewhere.
Joe Biden, now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, lauded his son’s announcement at the time.
“The statement my son put out today, which I saw when he put it out — I was told it was going to be put out, I did not consult with him about what’s being put out — in fact represents the kind of man of integrity he is,” Joe Biden said in October.
The former vice president pledged in December that none of his family members, including Hunter Biden, would engage in foreign business activities were he to become the next president.
As of Tuesday, BHR’s file on China’s National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System (NECIPS) still lists Hunter Biden as being a director of BHR.
Qixinbao, an independent service that provides registration information on Chinese corporations, also listed Hunter Biden as a member of the BHR board on Tuesday.
Hunter Biden listed as a member of the BHR Partners board of directors on April 14, 2020.
BHR has not responded to numerous inquiries seeking clarification on why Chinese business records continue to list Hunter Biden as a member of its board.
Hunter Biden’s continued presence on BHR’s business file does not appear to be due to a processing delay in the NECIPS. The Chinese business records site shows a change for BHR was submitted as recently as March 24 to reflect the resignation of Hunter Biden’s business partner, Eric Schwerin, as the firm’s supervisor.
Schwerin’s relationship with Hunter Biden dates back to at least 2008 when the pair served as lobbyists for Oldaker, Biden & Belair.
Hunter Biden’s company, Skaneateles, also retains its 10% equity stake in BHR, according to the Chinese business records. Hunter Biden is the sole listed beneficial owner of Skaneateles, Washington, D.C. business records show.
Skaneateles’s listed address is also the listed address for the $3.8 million designer home in Los Angeles that Hunter Biden is reportedly renting out for $12,000 a month, according to Skaneateles’s business records in Washington, D.C.
Mesires, Hunter Biden’s lawyer, did not tell the DCNF why Chinese business records still list Hunter Biden as being a member of BHR’s board and did not provide any documents relating to his pledged departure from the Chinese firm.
The Biden campaign did not return a request for comment.

President Trump blasted Pelosi for walking around Chinatown encouraging members of the public to shop and eat there a month after he began locking down the border.
In the video, Pelosi can be heard saying, “We do want to say to people, come to Chinatown. Here we are…and come join us.”
According to the House Speaker, fears of the Coronavirus are “unwarranted in light of the precautions that are being taken here in the United States.”

Update: An earlier version of this story suggested that Nancy Pelosi had deleted the video from her Twitter account. However, upon further review this is unproven. The headline and opening paragraph have been updated to remove references to Speaker Pelosi removing the video.

Senator Hawley , the former Attorney General in Missouri , warned that if Democrats fail to act , President Trump will be fully cleared and their impeachment circus will be exposed as a complete sham .
Thegatewaypundit.com reports : On Monday Senator Hawley came through on his promise and introduced the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bogus impeachment ” against President Trump .
The resolution gives Speaker Pelosi 25 days to turn over the Articles of Impeachment or face dismissal of the charges .

Senator Hawley today thanked his fellow Republican senators for supporting the measure : In response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ’ s unprecedented attempt to prevent an impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate , Senator Josh Hawley ( R-Mo . )
today introduced a resolution to update Senate rules to allow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for lack of prosecution .

Senator Hawley said , “ Speaker Pelosi started this bogus impeachment by claiming President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ democracy ’ who had to be removed now .
But after a bipartisan vote against the articles in the House , and with the public opposed to the Democrats ’ partisan games , Pelosi has changed her tune .
Now she wants to prevent a Senate trial , perhaps indefinitely .
But the Constitution gives the Senate sole power to adjudicate articles of impeachment , not the House .
If Speaker Pelosi is afraid to try her case , the articles should be dismissed for failure to prosecute and Congress should get back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Senator Rick Scott said , “ Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are making a mockery of our government .

If House Democrats are so confident in their findings , they ought to have no problem sending the articles over within a 25 day deadline.
” Senator Cruz said , “ Since the start of the impeachment process , Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats have made a mockery of our Constitution and abused impeachment for political gain .
Now , they ’ re undermining the role of the Senate by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Senate ’ s trial .

It is the Senate ’ s duty to take up these articles without delay , and to resolve them in a timely and constitutionally appropriate manner.
” Senator Daines said , “ It ’ s time to put up or shut up , and stand up to Nancy Pelosi .

Because she knows she made a mistake .
Iowans aren ’ t going to put up with this .

This resolution sets an important time table that will allow us to do just that.

Background
The Senate has adopted a set of 26 rules that govern all impeachment proceedings, known as the “Rules of Procedure and Practice in the Senate When Sitting on Impeachment Trials.” Those Rules presume prompt delivery of the articles of impeachment to the Senate following their adoption by the House. Historically, the House delivered articles of impeachment to the Senate for action almost simultaneously with the vote to impeach. During the Clinton impeachment, for example, the articles were transmitted to the Senate the same day they were approved. Consequently, the current Senate rules have no mechanism to address Speaker Pelosi’s unprecedented attempt to prevent a Senate trial by withholding the articles after the President has been impeached.
Speaker Pelosi’s gambit raises grave constitutional concerns. Article 1, Section 3 gives the Senate the “sole” power to try impeachment cases. But if the Speaker refuses to transmit the articles after the President has been impeached, she could prevent the Senate from exercising its constitutional prerogative, perhaps indefinitely.
Senator Hawley’s resolution would amend the Senate’s impeachment rules to prevent this abuse of the Constitution and protect the Senate’s sole power to try impeachment. The resolution would allow the Senate to dismiss for lack of prosecution any articles of impeachment that the House of Representatives has delayed transmitting for 25 calendar days or more. Under this new rule, any Senator would be entitled to move to dismiss once the allotted time period had elapsed. Any motion to dismiss would be voted upon by the full Senate.
Text of the proposed Hawley rule:
Title: Amending the Rules of Procedure and Practice in the Senate When Sitting on Impeachment Trials.
Resolved, That rule I of the Rules of Procedure and Practice in the Senate When Sitting on Impeachment Trials is amended to read as follows:
“I. Whensoever the Senate shall receive notice from the House of Representatives that managers are appointed on their part to conduct an impeachment against any person and are directed to carry articles of impeachment to the Senate, the Secretary of the Senate shall immediately inform the House of Representatives that the Senate is ready to receive the managers for the purpose of exhibiting such articles of impeachment, agreeably to such notice.
If, following adoption of such articles, the House of Representatives does not so notify the Senate or otherwise provide for such articles to be exhibited to the Senate within 25 calendar days from the date of adoption of such articles, as recorded in the Journal of the House of Representatives, such articles shall be deemed exhibited before the Senate and it shall be in order for any Senator to offer a motion to dismiss such articles with prejudice for failure by the House of Representatives to prosecute such articles. Such motion shall be adopted by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Senators, duly chosen and sworn, without debate by the yeas and nays, which shall be entered on the record.”.
