thelibertybeacon--2020-08-03--America’s “Days of Rage”: The Extensive Left-Wing Bombings & Domestic Terrorism of the 1970s

America ’ s “ Days of Rage ” : The Extensive Left-Wing Bombings & Domestic Terrorism of the 1970s As the summer of 2020 dawned , left-wing radical groups began rioting and taking over parts of America ’ s cities .
While this specific form of left-wing violence is new , left-wing violence itself is far from new in the United States .
Indeed , one of the most hidden and concealed parts of recent American history is the extensive left-wing violence that began in the late 1960s and continued into the 1980s .
At first , one might think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ protest ” or even minor violence .
However , upon even brief examination , we find out that the outpouring of leftist violence over this time period was anything but minor .
The most likely explanation for why you have never heard of this until now is that the events of these years have been consciously buried by those who would prefer you not know about them .
As the left once again ratchets up both its rhetoric and its physical violence , it ’ s time to re-explore this period of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ non-violent student movement quickly escalated into a campaign of terrorism against the American people .
And while the similarities may not be terribly striking yet , astute readers of this article will quickly see the world in which we live more and more closely resembling the Days of Rage .
The Days of Rage were in fact a short and discrete period of time – three days of demonstrations that took place on October 8 through 11 , 1969 .
Throughout this article we will discuss events that took place both before and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consider this period a sort of “ coming out ” party for the Weathermen , also known as the Weather Underground .
The Weathermen started out as a faction within Students for a Democratic Society .
Without getting too much into the weeds , much of what happens during this period of leftist terrorism in the United States has its genesis in a faction fight between the Weathermen , who controlled the national SDS organization , and the rest of their faction ( known as the Revolutionary Youth Movement II or RYM II @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the more classically Maoist Worker Student Alliance .
Tensions ran high because the stakes were high – nothing less than total control of the largest student radical organization in America and all of the spoils that came along with that .
Many within the Weathermen faction of RYM II believed that they were fighting literal fascism coming to America in the form of President Richard Nixon .
Sound familiar yet ?
It ’ s about to sound a lot more so .
On October 6 , 1969 , a statue memorializing a police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was blown up .
No one ever figured out who committed this act of iconoclasm , but the tangible effect of the act of political terrorism was the final isolation of the Weather Underground from the rest of the SDS .
The Weathermen then shifted their activity to the Days of Rage , a protest rally with the slogans “ Bring The War Home !
” Many wielded lead pipes and were clad in football helmets , ready for a confrontation with the police .
Turnout was disappointing .
The Weathermen expected a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 800 , who stared down 2,000 Chicago police likely itching for another fight after the 1968 Democratic Convention .
By the first night , about 500 had deserted the protest , with about half of the remaining 300 being Weathermen from around the country .
Abbie Hoffman and John Froines , two members of the Chicago Seven , showed up , but declined to speak and left .
The remaining hardcore of Weathermen and their supporters shifted the goalposts to simply fighting the police as constituting victory .
At 10:25 p.m. , Jeff @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Weathermen , gave the signal and chaos erupted .
The crowd moved through the city , smashing windows of ordinary cars and middle-class homes throughout Chicago , as well as small businesses such as barber shops .
The next day , October 9 , a “ Women ’ s Militia ” comprised of about 70 female Weathermen planned to attack a draft board office , but were prevented from doing so by the Chicago Police Department .
The governor called up 2,500 National Guard members to protect Chicago , and protests for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Black Panther Party ’ s local leadership attempted to distance themselves from the Weathermen , describing the group as “ anarchistic , opportunistic , adventuristic , and Custeristic.
” The next day was the last day of the Days of Rage proper , centered around a march of 2,000 through a Spanish-speaking area of Chicago .
The next day , October 11 , the Weathermen attempted to reignite the protests , but were quickly sealed off by Chicago ’ s finest .
Approximately half of the crowd were arrested in 15 minutes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Days of Rage that the Weathermen became the Weather Underground and began moving underground as the name would imply .
At a meeting known as the Flint War Council , which was attended by Barack Obama advisor William Ayers , taking place between December 27 and 31 , 1969 , the Weathermen dissolved their version of SDS , changed their name to the Weather Underground and declared that they would engage in guerilla warfare against the United States government .
Before continuing with the laundry list of terrorist actions carried out by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ briefly explaining their ideology .
The Weather Underground was not a classically Marxist nor , strictly speaking , a Maoist group .
Their cues came more from the American New Left .
Thus , much like the radicals creating chaos in American cities in the 2020s , they were far more focused on opposition to the American state , “ white privilege ” and “ white supremacy ” than they were in creating bonds across the working class .
In this regard , they differed both from the Maoism of the Progressive Labor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Communisty Party , USA , who supported Mao against Kruschev and thus had very real ties to the American labor movement ) and the so-called “ New Communist Movement ” ( comprised of younger student activists sympathetic toward Maoism and Third Worldism , but without organic ties to the existing Communist left and the labor movement ) .
They did not , as some other groups in both Maoism proper and the New Communist Movement did , seek either ties with the American working class ( which they largely considered “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the official sanction of Beijing ( a long-term goal of both Maoists and New Communists ) .
There are three important takeaways from all of this inside baseball : • None The Weather Underground considered the American government to be fascist .
• None They believed that American military and civil government institutions should be treated in an identical manner to how the Viet Cong would treat the American military .
• None The American working class , in particular the white American working class , was considered apathetic and useless at best @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opponent of revolution – thoroughly reactionary and thus , the enemy .
The Weathermen After the Days of Rage In the first year after the Flint War Council , the Weather Underground engaged in a series of over a dozen bombings or attempted bombings throughout the United States .
While supporters of the Weather Underground generally attempt to downplay the significance of the bombings , the group attacked courthouses , the New York Police Headquarters , the Pentagon and the headquarters of the National Guard .
Additionally , police found multiple bomb factories @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the group .
While 1970 was a highwater year for the group , there were other years of increased activity and the Weather Underground did not disband until 1977 .
There were dozens of terrorist attacks carried out in the years between 1970 and 1977 .
It would be impossible to talk about them all in detail without writing an entire book on the subject .
However , some of them are worth pulling out from the pack to discuss individually : • None New York City Arson Attacks : The home of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Murtagh was attacked with Molotov cocktails .
Judge Murtagh was the presiding judge of pretrial hearings for 21 Black Panthers accused of planning a bombing campaign against the city .
There were additional attacks against the Columbia University ’ s International Law Library , Army and Navy recruiting booths and a parked police car in the city .
• None Timothy Leary Jailbreak : Acting as hired mercenaries for The Brotherhood of Eternal Love , a psychedelic drug distribution enterprise , the Weather Underground broke Timothy Leary out of jail for $ 20,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : On March 1 , 1971 , the Weather Underground detonated a bomb at the United States Capitol .
• None Pentagon Bombing : On March 19 , 1972 , the Weather Underground blew up the women ’ s bathroom of the Air Force wing of the Pentagon in commemoration of Ho Chi Minh ’ s birthday and in retaliation for the bombing of Hanoi .
In October 1973 , the federal government dropped most of the charges against the Weather Underground because new restrictions on electronic surveillance ( without a court order @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meant that the charges likely would not stick .
A more complete – and voluminous – list of Weather Underground terrorist attacks can be found here .
The Black Liberation Army was formed in 1970 , by members of the Black Panther Party who operated as members of both groups concurrently .
Between 1970 and 1976 , the group was involved in over 70 acts of violence , including the murders of 13 police officers .
Some of their attacks included : • None The bombing of the funeral of police officer Harold @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Brinks truck in 1981 .
The May 19th Communist Organization was a reorganized version of the Weather Underground that emerged after the latter began to fall apart .
It included members of the Black Liberation Army , the Black Panthers and the Republic of New Afrika , as well as the Weather Underground .
The M19CO was more classically Marxist-Leninist , but no less eager to engage in terrorism .
They broke Assata Shakur , convicted of the murder of a state trooper , out of prison and spirited her to Cuba @ @ @ @ @ @ @ robbery of a Brinks truck in 1981 , along with the Black Liberation Army , as well as several bombings , including those of the National War College , the United States Senate , the Washington Navy Yard Computer Center , the South African consulate and the Policemen ’ s Benevolent Association .
Most people know of the Symbionese Liberation Army , if at all , as the group who kidnapped and brainwashed Patty Hearst .
Beyond this , they are an excellent example of how a small , but committed , cadre @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and beyond their numbers , which never exceeded 22 .
Their first major action was the assassination of Oakland , CA superintendent of schools Marcus Foster and badly wounding his deputy Robert Blackburn .
The pair were attacked with cyanide-packed hollow point rounds as they left a school committee meeting .

She was held by the group for 19 months before she was apprehended by authorities .
At first , the SLA demanded the release of Foster ’ s assassins , but when this proved impossible , they demanded the Hearst family distribute $ 70 worth of food to every needy person in California .
The Hearst family took out a loan to do so , which would have cost $ 400 million , but the operation descended into chaos and the SLA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sometimes restricted Hearst to a dark closet for weeks at a time .
She was raped both by leader Donald DeFreeze ( “ Cinque ” ) and Willie Wolfe ( “ Kahjoh ” ) .
When recovered , Hearst had an IQ of 112 , as compared to 130 before her abduction .
She chain smoked , had a flattened affect and had trouble remembering significant parts of her pre-SLA life .
She weighed 87 pounds when apprehended .
The group committed a number of bank robberies both before and after Hearst ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heard of these acts of terrorism from leftist groups that were so numerous throughout the 1970s .
But this is a prime example of “ those who don ’ t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
” The urban unrest , which has rocked America in the early 2020s , is nothing new .
The 1960s saw both race riots and left-wing terrorist groups looking to exploit animosity between racial groups in America .
The question is what are we going to do about it ?
The answer so far from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” If leftist terrorist cells were willing to go this far when they had active opposition from government and corporate figures alike , what are they going to do when confronted with apathy or encouragement from elected officials and the business sector ?
The answer remains to be seen , but will certainly be some variant of “ nothing good.

America’s “Days of Rage”: The Extensive Left-Wing Bombings & Domestic Terrorism of the 1970s
By: Sam Jacobs
As the summer of 2020 dawned, left-wing radical groups began rioting and taking over parts of America’s cities. While this specific form of left-wing violence is new, left-wing violence itself is far from new in the United States. Indeed, one of the most hidden and concealed parts of recent American history is the extensive left-wing violence that began in the late 1960s and continued into the 1980s.
At first, one might think that these were isolated incidents of small-scale “protest” or even minor violence. However, upon even brief examination, we find out that the outpouring of leftist violence over this time period was anything but minor. The most likely explanation for why you have never heard of this until now is that the events of these years have been consciously buried by those who would prefer you not know about them.
As the left once again ratchets up both its rhetoric and its physical violence, it’s time to re-explore this period of American history. What started as a non-violent student movement quickly escalated into a campaign of terrorism against the American people. And while the similarities may not be terribly striking yet, astute readers of this article will quickly see the world in which we live more and more closely resembling the Days of Rage.
The Days of Rage
The Days of Rage were in fact a short and discrete period of time – three days of demonstrations that took place on October 8 through 11, 1969. Throughout this article we will discuss events that took place both before and after the Days of Rage, but consider this period a sort of “coming out” party for the Weathermen, also known as the Weather Underground.
The Weathermen started out as a faction within Students for a Democratic Society. Without getting too much into the weeds, much of what happens during this period of leftist terrorism in the United States has its genesis in a faction fight between the Weathermen, who controlled the national SDS organization, and the rest of their faction (known as the Revolutionary Youth Movement II or RYM II), who were in opposition to the more classically Maoist Worker Student Alliance.
Tensions ran high because the stakes were high – nothing less than total control of the largest student radical organization in America and all of the spoils that came along with that. Many within the Weathermen faction of RYM II believed that they were fighting literal fascism coming to America in the form of President Richard Nixon.
Sound familiar yet? It’s about to sound a lot more so.
On October 6, 1969, a statue memorializing a police officer killed during the 1886 Haymarket riots was blown up. No one ever figured out who committed this act of iconoclasm, but the tangible effect of the act of political terrorism was the final isolation of the Weather Underground from the rest of the SDS.
The Weathermen then shifted their activity to the Days of Rage, a protest rally with the slogans “Bring The War Home!” Many wielded lead pipes and were clad in football helmets, ready for a confrontation with the police.
Turnout was disappointing. The Weathermen expected a massive turnout, but only got about 800, who stared down 2,000 Chicago police likely itching for another fight after the 1968 Democratic Convention. By the first night, about 500 had deserted the protest, with about half of the remaining 300 being Weathermen from around the country.
Abbie Hoffman and John Froines, two members of the Chicago Seven, showed up, but declined to speak and left. The remaining hardcore of Weathermen and their supporters shifted the goalposts to simply fighting the police as constituting victory.
At 10:25 p.m., Jeff Jones, one of the leaders of the Weathermen, gave the signal and chaos erupted. The crowd moved through the city, smashing windows of ordinary cars and middle-class homes throughout Chicago, as well as small businesses such as barber shops.
The next day, October 9, a “Women’s Militia” comprised of about 70 female Weathermen planned to attack a draft board office, but were prevented from doing so by the Chicago Police Department. The governor called up 2,500 National Guard members to protect Chicago, and protests for later in the day were canceled. The Black Panther Party’s local leadership attempted to distance themselves from the Weathermen, describing the group as “anarchistic, opportunistic, adventuristic, and Custeristic.”
The next day was the last day of the Days of Rage proper, centered around a march of 2,000 through a Spanish-speaking area of Chicago. The next day, October 11, the Weathermen attempted to reignite the protests, but were quickly sealed off by Chicago’s finest. Approximately half of the crowd were arrested in 15 minutes.
It was after the events of the Days of Rage that the Weathermen became the Weather Underground and began moving underground as the name would imply. At a meeting known as the Flint War Council, which was attended by Barack Obama advisor William Ayers, taking place between December 27 and 31, 1969, the Weathermen dissolved their version of SDS, changed their name to the Weather Underground and declared that they would engage in guerilla warfare against the United States government.

They did not, as some other groups in both Maoism proper and the New Communist Movement did, seek either ties with the American working class (which they largely considered “bought off by imperialism”) or the official sanction of Beijing (a long-term goal of both Maoists and New Communists).
There are three important takeaways from all of this inside baseball:
The Weather Underground considered the American government to be fascist.
They believed that American military and civil government institutions should be treated in an identical manner to how the Viet Cong would treat the American military.
The American working class, in particular the white American working class, was considered apathetic and useless at best, but generally more considered an active opponent of revolution – thoroughly reactionary and thus, the enemy.
The Weathermen After the Days of Rage
In the first year after the Flint War Council, the Weather Underground engaged in a series of over a dozen bombings or attempted bombings throughout the United States. While supporters of the Weather Underground generally attempt to downplay the significance of the bombings, the group attacked courthouses, the New York Police Headquarters, the Pentagon and the headquarters of the National Guard.

Judge Murtagh was the presiding judge of pretrial hearings for 21 Black Panthers accused of planning a bombing campaign against the city. There were additional attacks against the Columbia University’s International Law Library, Army and Navy recruiting booths and a parked police car in the city.

The robbery of a Brinks truck in 1981.
May 19th Communist Organization
The May 19th Communist Organization was a reorganized version of the Weather Underground that emerged after the latter began to fall apart. It included members of the Black Liberation Army, the Black Panthers and the Republic of New Afrika, as well as the Weather Underground.
The M19CO was more classically Marxist-Leninist, but no less eager to engage in terrorism. They broke Assata Shakur, convicted of the murder of a state trooper, out of prison and spirited her to Cuba. They were also involved in the robbery of a Brinks truck in 1981, along with the Black Liberation Army, as well as several bombings, including those of the National War College, the United States Senate, the Washington Navy Yard Computer Center, the South African consulate and the Policemen’s Benevolent Association.

Most people know of the Symbionese Liberation Army, if at all, as the group who kidnapped and brainwashed Patty Hearst. Beyond this, they are an excellent example of how a small, but committed, cadre of left-wing activists can wreak havoc far and beyond their numbers, which never exceeded 22.

The group committed a number of bank robberies both before and after Hearst’s kidnapping.
The Lost History of American Leftist Terrorism
Most Americans have never heard of these acts of terrorism from leftist groups that were so numerous throughout the 1970s. But this is a prime example of “those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” The urban unrest, which has rocked America in the early 2020s, is nothing new. The 1960s saw both race riots and left-wing terrorist groups looking to exploit animosity between racial groups in America.
The question is what are we going to do about it? The answer so far from our elected officials is “not much.” If leftist terrorist cells were willing to go this far when they had active opposition from government and corporate figures alike, what are they going to do when confronted with apathy or encouragement from elected officials and the business sector?
The answer remains to be seen, but will certainly be some variant of “nothing good.”

thelibertybeacon--2020-08-03--So Spooked by State-Sanctioned Project Fear: People Believe TENS OF MILLIONS Have Died from Covid-19

ER Editor : Here is the link to the KEKST CNC Research Report discussed below , titled COVID-19 Opinion Tracker , in which 1,000 people deemed representative from each of 6 countries ( US , Japan , UK , Germany , France and Sweden ) were interviewed about the COVID-19 situation .
This is the 4th edition of the survey .
Below are the 6 main findings , in summary form .
No.5 , concerning the increasing popularity of mask-wearing , is depressing for those of us concerned with actual viral risk , actual science concerning masks , and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 4 , however , perception of the extent and lethality of the virus , is what is truly disturbing and what is discussed below by Norman Lewis .
Project Fear is truly winning .
The CDC has given a case fatality ratio of .26 % ( a mere two and a half tenths of one percent ) , which some believe is a high estimate , where the true rate may be around .1 % .
Not a huge difference .
Bearing in mind that most people don ’ t seem to suffer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ means only a tiny fraction die WITH the virus from what is already a relatively small pool of sick people ( i.e .
actual cases of the disease ) .
Below we will see that the public is overestimating the % of deaths , from 100 to 300 times .
It ’ s hardly surprising , however , given the deliberate obfuscation of what a ‘ case ’ of covid is , what a true covid death is , what a PCR test actually measures , etc .
The propaganda campaign has relied @ @ @ @ @ @ @ entirely misunderstood .
Here are those survey findings : 1 .
We are entering a new phase of the crisis , with people expecting to have to live with coronavirus for a long time to come 2 .
Returning to work has been a good experience for those employees back at the workplace 3 .
But fear of a second spike is growing and , as cases rise , the focus is swinging back to health in some countries 4 .
People think coronavirus is more widespread , and more deadly , than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is popular in almost all countries , and political and corporate leadership on masks has a big impact 6 .
The public ’ s view of business is showing signs of deteriorating – business brands are in a delicate position as the focus shifts to lay-offs and economic damage People have been so spooked by the state-sanctioned Project Fear that they believe TENS OF MILLIONS have died from Covid-19 A Research Report , “ Covid-19 Opinion Tracker , edition ” , published on 27 July 2020 , by Kekst CNC , a global @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Publicis Groupe , the world ’ s third largest communications group , has almost passed the world ’ s media by .
Yet it contains one truly remarkable section on the perception versus the reality of impact of Covid-19 on the public .
The report shows that across the five countries in which the survey was conducted , people , without exception , think that the risks from Coronavirus are far more widespread and dangerous than official figures show .
The survey was conducted between 10-15 July 2020 .
In the perception-versus-reality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were questioned in the UK , USA , Germany , Sweden , and France .
Two questions were posed which required people filling in percentages : • How many people in your country have had coronavirus ?

ER Editor: Here is the link to the KEKST CNC Research Report discussed below, titled COVID-19 Opinion Tracker, in which 1,000 people deemed representative from each of 6 countries (US, Japan, UK, Germany, France and Sweden) were interviewed about the COVID-19 situation. This is the 4th edition of the survey.
Below are the 6 main findings, in summary form. No.5, concerning the increasing popularity of mask-wearing, is depressing for those of us concerned with actual viral risk, actual science concerning masks, and the suppression of basic liberties. No. 4, however, perception of the extent and lethality of the virus, is what is truly disturbing and what is discussed below by Norman Lewis. Project Fear is truly winning.
The CDC has given a case fatality ratio of .26% (a mere two and a half tenths of one percent), which some believe is a high estimate, where the true rate may be around .1%. Not a huge difference. Bearing in mind that most people don’t seem to suffer from the virus at all, it means only a tiny fraction die WITH the virus from what is already a relatively small pool of sick people (i.e. actual cases of the disease). Below we will see that the public is overestimating the % of deaths, from 100 to 300 times.
It’s hardly surprising, however, given the deliberate obfuscation of what a ‘case’ of covid is, what a true covid death is, what a PCR test actually measures, etc. The propaganda campaign has relied upon these elements being fraudulently reported and entirely misunderstood.
Here are those survey findings:
Main findings: executive summary 1. We are entering a new phase of the crisis, with people expecting to have to live with coronavirus for a long time to come 2. Returning to work has been a good experience for those employees back at the workplace 3. But fear of a second spike is growing and, as cases rise, the focus is swinging back to health in some countries 4. People think coronavirus is more widespread, and more deadly, than official figures show 5. Compulsory mask-wearing is popular in almost all countries, and political and corporate leadership on masks has a big impact 6. The public’s view of business is showing signs of deteriorating – business brands are in a delicate position as the focus shifts to lay-offs and economic damage
********
People have been so spooked by the state-sanctioned Project Fear that they believe TENS OF MILLIONS have died from Covid-19
NORMAN LEWIS The perception of the risks of the Covid-19 crisis are now so exaggerated that it demonstrates how fear has become the only true enduring reality of the pandemic. The gap between the reality and perception around Covid risks – almost a factor of 100 – shows how state-sanctioned “fake news” – Project Fear – has come to dominate the public imagination and is negatively impacting how we manage the crisis.
A Research Report, “Covid-19 Opinion Tracker, edition”, published on 27 July 2020, by Kekst CNC, a global strategic communications company which is part of the Publicis Groupe, the world’s third largest communications group, has almost passed the world’s media by. Yet it contains one truly remarkable section on the perception versus the reality of impact of Covid-19 on the public. The report shows that across the five countries in which the survey was conducted, people, without exception, think that the risks from Coronavirus are far more widespread and dangerous than official figures show. The survey was conducted between 10-15 July 2020. In the perception-versus-reality section of the survey, 1,000 adults were questioned in the UK, USA, Germany, Sweden, and France. Two questions were posed which required people filling in percentages: How many people in your country have had coronavirus?
How many people in your country have died from coronavirus? The results are astonishing: to the first question relating to the numbers who have contracted C-19: people in the UK answered 22 per cent (4 times higher than official figures); in the USA, the answer was 20 per cent (20 times greater than confirmed cases); in Germany, the answer was 11 per cent (46 times greater than confirmed cases); in Sweden, the answer was 16 per cent (20 times confirmed cases) and in France, the answers was 12 per cent (46 times confirmed cases). On the numbers of deaths, the figures are even more exaggerated: in the UK, the response was 7 per cent (100 times greater than confirmed deaths); in the US, the answer was 9 per cent (225 times greater than the confirmed deaths); in Germany, the answer was 3 per cent (300 times greater than confirmed deaths); in Sweden, the answer was 6 per cent (100 times greater than confirmed deaths); and in France, the answer was 5 per cent (100 times greater than confirmed deaths). So in real terms, the public in the UK think 4.6 MILLION people have died of Covid there, rather than the actual 46,000. In the US, people believe 29.5 MILLION have died from it, rather than 155,000. One might argue that these figures reveal people in these countries need some educating about statistics and percentages. But the truth is that the pattern is unmistakable – the perception of the risk and danger is far greater than reality. This is the reality of society today. It is the outcome not of ‘fake news’ or an expression of that equally vacuous and fallacious invention, ‘post-truth’ society. This is an outcome of state-backed ‘fake news’, where the threat of the Coronavirus and steps taken to deal with it have institutionalised an exaggerated sense of uncertainty and fear among millions of citizens around the world. On one level, many experts and governments, particularly behavioural ‘scientists,’ will welcome this revelation. The idea that striking fear into people as a sure way to get them to change their behaviour (which I wrote about here recently), suggests for those who uphold this diminished view of the masses, that this is not only justified, but that it works. But there is a huge price to pay for stoking such fears and misconceptions about the real threat posed by the Coronavirus. For example, the survey has another revealing insight: compulsory mask-wearing, despite having no scientific basis whatsoever, is now popular in almost all countries, and political and corporate leadership on masks has a big impact. This might increase political opportunism and have a short-term benefit for unpopular politicians, but what it is eroding is a longer-term nuanced ability to manage the risk posed by Covid-19. A manmade crisis is morphing into a “natural” disaster where fear now trumps truth, a reality from which we all stand to lose. ************ Original article Norman Lewis is a writer, speaker and consultant on innovation and technology, was most recently a Director at PriceWaterhouseCoopers, where he set up and led their crowdsourced innovation service.

The Mental Health Declaration of Human Rights articulates the guiding principles and standards against which psychiatric human rights violations are investigated and exposed.
The right to full informed consent is a key point of the code, but it’s an issue that’s nonchalantly dismissed on a regular basis. Based on reports received, people detained and forcibly ‘treated’ are expected to accept the lack of scientific evidence to support psychiatric diagnoses that have never been medically confirmed.

It’s easy to see that those caught in the mental health matrix need a helping hand and the opportunity to exercise his or her rights.

thelibertybeacon--2020-08-03--Dr. Dareld Morris on the Lies and Crimes of the COVID Operation [Video]

Dr. Dareld Morris on the Lies and Crimes of the COVID Operation In the following interview , Dr.Morris , a practicing physician in Florida , USA , explains how politics and fraud are root causes of the Fear campaign that is plaguing his state , and the country .
First , labs are faking COVID results .
Some labs are reporting 100 % positive tests , and this , he says , is statistically impossible .
Two labs that were audited reported less than 10 % positive COVID results .

Dr. Dareld Morris on the Lies and Crimes of the COVID Operation
By Mark Taliano
In the following interview, Dr.Morris, a practicing physician in Florida, USA, explains how politics and fraud are root causes of the Fear campaign that is plaguing his state, and the country.
First, labs are faking COVID results. Some labs are reporting 100% positive tests, and this, he says, is statistically impossible. Two labs that were audited reported less than 10% positive COVID results. Morris attributes the fake reporting to politics and insurance fraud.
Second, media are reporting that there are not enough hospital beds. This too, he says, is false. A few months back, he explains, there were massive staff layoffs because scheduled hospital procedures were cancelled. Currently, hospitals are running at 50-60% staffing capacity, so there are plenty of beds, but not enough staff.
Finally, he explains that pharmacies and governing agencies are interfering with successful treatment protocols, namely Hydroxychloroquine, Zinc, and Zithromax. Local pharmacies, he explains, refuse to fill his prescriptions. Such interference, he says, is criminal.
Governing agencies and establishment media, including Youtube and Facebook, are censoring reports such as this. The costs of such censorship are high in terms of increased excess deaths globally, but also in terms of lost freedoms.

LEARN 2 UNLEARN: Return to Health (E38) – Dealing With It
WATCH SHOW BELOW INTRO ARTICLE
Your Host: Luca Majno
Today’s episode starts with a bit of a somber mode, a difficult week, a harder show than most, simply due to the difficulties experienced this week, that I will attempt to share…
And I am glad to be able to show harder things vs being fake or not mentioning the darker areas of Healing that are more present than not, this week… As I explain in the video below, first off, what I need to share is:
The Lack of Sleep ~ Being woken up every two hours, literally by the clock, is really doing a number on me more and more… I feel this, because I see a progression of ‘being tired’ and needing a ‘nap’ in the afternoon around the same time every day, which never occurred before… That, on top of the blood loss, and the subsequent cleaning and most times continued bleeding in the sink, which can be traumatic at best… every two hours during the night…
Standing at the sink, sometimes for a good ten minutes, 3 to 4 times during the night can really take a toll on you… And I found out something else that I could share with you, something I hadn’t seen until now…
Before cleaning the cabinets under the sink, as I looked more closely than usual, I was attracted to two stains, one on each door… and then I smiled and shook my head…
When I realized what it was… Most times, you’re half asleep when you get to the bathroom, do what you have to do, and then have to stand for that long, hoping the bleeding will subside… Well, those are the marks that my knees made, trying to hold on to something, to get a firm hold on keeping standing for that long…
Lack of Exercise is another factor I need to address this week… Lack, I presume, of muscle mass, and plain and simple ‘energy loss’, combined with needing to stay put, laying back in the Lazy-Boy, preferably, so when I go for a walk, it feels like three walks now, because of the ‘time off’ from exercising, which gently reminds me to get more active… now.
Suddenly, the last half of the video goes POSITIVE… 😊 as I first of all try to explain how I am having difficulty accepting this ‘new lifestyle’, this ‘way of life’ that I have to follow, but, that being said, I feel so GRATEFUL for my life and ‘having’ two feet to walk on, and not complain about my shoes… So everything does balance itself out in the end, and I like that.
Can you imagine this series if I had taken the ‘CHEMO AND RADIATION’??
It is all ‘A Matter of Choice’ really… The Sacred Choice of accepting F. E. A. R. as we see it… Every day is a new chance for each of us to do Good or Serve the Self. A Beautiful Native American Prayer from the Ute Tribe helps me get focused on Giving Thanks…

Ohio reverses decision on hydroxychloroquine ban, following appeal by Gov. DeWine
Under the new rule in Ohio, all medical institutions would have been prohibited from prescribing and dispensing hydroxychloroquine
By Sophie Mann
On [last] Thursday, the Ohio Board of Pharmacy withdrew its order banning the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat the novel coronavirus. The decision comes following an appeal by GOP Gov. Mike DeWine asking the board to reevaluate its rule.
GOOD NEWS: Governor Mike DeWine has just announced he’s reversing the decision to block hydroxychloroquine prescriptions for treatment of COVID-19 in Ohio. This is a step in the right direction. We cannot allow the continued politicization of medicine. pic.twitter.com/u1gmFgvGlx — Dr. Simone Gold (@drsimonegold) July 30, 2020
In opposing the board’s ban, DeWine (pictured left) cited the view of FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn, who said in a radio interview [last] Tuesday, “We believe the decision about whether a doctor writes for hydroxychloroquine, for a patient with COVID, is completely in the realm of the doctor-patient relationship.”
The new regulation in Ohio was due to go into effect [last] Thursday. It would have prohibited pharmacies, clinics, and other medical institutions from prescribing or selling hydroxychloroquine and the related drug chloroquine for the purposes of treating the novel coronavirus.
The drug, which has for years been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat malaria and other diseases, received emergency agency approval early in the pandemic to treat virus patients.
The drug has proven effective in some cases but has also been criticized as ineffective.
Under the Ohio rule, all previously approved prescriptions for the drugs would have been “deemed void,” according to the state pharmacy board, which has approved its use for treating malaria and arthritis.
“The long and short of it is, we want people to focus on what works, such as social distancing and mask use,” a pharmacy board spokesperson told The Columbus Dispatch. “We ultimately want to make sure people are being safe and not exposing themselves to drugs that have shown not to be effective in treating COVID-19.”
