Now that dentists have reopened their doors, they’re having patients show up with a nasty set of symptoms, which the doctors have dubbed “mask mouth.”
The new oral hygiene issue — caused by, you guessed it, wearing a mask all the time to prevent the spread of the coronavirus — is leading to all kinds of dental disasters like decaying teeth, receding gum lines and seriously sour breath.
“We’re seeing inflammation in people’s gums that have been healthy forever, and cavities in people who have never had them before,” says Dr. Rob Ramondi, a dentist and co-founder of One Manhattan Dental. “About 50% of our patients are being impacted by this, [so] we decided to name it ‘mask mouth’ — after ‘meth mouth.’ ”
The term “meth mouth” is widely used by dentists to describe the dental problems that arise among methamphetamine users.

QUESTION: Where Is Joe Biden’s Brain?

The third-season opener of the iconic sci-fi series Star Trek was an episode titled “ Spock ’ s Brain , ” in which an unidentified humanoid female from a seemingly advanced civilization transports aboard the starship Enterprise and , after rendering the entire crew unconscious , absconds with science officer ’ s Spock ’ s brain .

Where Is Joe Biden’s Brain?
By: Daniel John Sobieski
The third-season opener of the iconic sci-fi series Star Trek was an episode titled “Spock’s Brain,” in which an unidentified humanoid female from a seemingly advanced civilization transports aboard the starship Enterprise and, after rendering the entire crew unconscious, absconds with science officer’s Spock’s brain. Capt. Kirk and the crew spend the episode tracking down the brain and figuring out a way to make Spock whole and functional again.
It is unlikely that aliens have descended and absconded with Joe Biden’s brain, but there is no clear explanation for Biden’s incoherent outbursts; inability to complete sentences or thoughts; and failure to remember where he is, who people are, even what office he is running for. We all get old and forgetful, and to some extent the prone to plagiarism, Biden has always had his tongue engaged before his brain was in gear. The “that’s just Joe” refrain became a cliché. But there’s more going on here than just getting old and forgetful even though that would be bad enough. His “gaffes” are now, it seems, a frightening predictor. We need to know before he gets his hand on the nuclear codes and determines policy or becomes a sock puppet for an administration full of Obama-era puppet masters all too willing to be his Rasputin.
The latest joke is that Biden should end his commercials with the tag, “I’m Joe Biden, and I forgot this message.” We drop our jaws or grit our teeth when he calls Arizona a great city, talks about Super Thursday, says black Americans ain’t black if they don’t support him and that blacks all think alike, and c’mon man, you know, the thing. November 3 is approaching, and it ain’t funny anymore. We need to know what is wrong with Joe Biden’s brain.
If it had happened to Trump, it would have been the yop story for months. It was not that long ago that Joe Biden’ eye filled with blood during a CNN town hall. As the New York Post reported:
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s left eye filled with blood during an appearance on a CNN town hall Wednesday. As he answered a question about climate change, the former vice president’s eye turned red, and the Washington Examiner suggested it might have been caused by a broken blood vessel, a condition known as a subconjuctival hemorrhage. It can be caused by a number of things — including sneezing, coughing, straining, eye rubbing, trauma from injury, high blood pressure or a bleeding disorder — according to WebMD. As a senator, Biden had emergency surgery twice for life-threatening brain aneurysms in 1988.
The eye bleed is likely not related to Biden’s cognitive difficulties, but the possible lingering effects of those two brain surgeries may now be visible in Joe Biden’s daily cognitive breakdown. The signs are ignored by a lapdog media. They would not be if this were happening to Trump.
Marc Siegel, M.D. is a professor of medicine and medical director at Doctor Radio at NYU Langone Health and a Fox News medical correspondent. Dr. Siegel last September penned a piece for The Hill in which he detailed the possible lingering effects of such surgery, which makes it a lifetime handicap:
I was not concerned when I saw blood appear in his left eye during the CNN climate-change town hall last week[.] … What was more concerning to me, as a physician, was when Biden appeared to lose his train of thought mid-sentence. In recent weeks, the former vice president has at times made what appeared to be cognitive errors.

Biden had two brain aneurysms repaired surgically in 1988. The first one was fairly large, a centimeter in size, and was leaking. His neurosurgeon, Dr. Neal Kassell, has stated publicly that Biden is in excellent shape. Still, the fact remains that studies have shown this type of aneurysm repair — especially when associated with a bleed — can sometimes lead to long-term cognitive difficulties, with problems in thinking, memory or orientation.
As BizPacReview reports, Siegel elaborated some more on Biden’s mental health last week on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show:

Not long ago, the media currently silent on Biden’s mental state were entertaining fantasies about the deterioration of Donald Trump’s mental state. They prattled on endlessly about Trump’s energetic personality coupled with his bluntness being a sign of mental disability as evidenced by a piece published in Psychology Today.
Trump is fine, thank you, demonstrating a coherence and competence as well as a schedule that is staggering, compared to an opponent who reads scripted material from his basement as his handlers prompt him through an earpiece and off-camera assistance. Before the Chinese Wuhan virus and urban unrest in Democrat-run jurisdictions struck, Trump had the economy roaring with record job and wage growth — not bad for a crazy man.
Still, no less an authority than Dr. Joe Scarborough over at MSNBC said on cable network television he thought Trump had early-onset dementia.
Scarborough and his ilk ignore that Trump’s accomplishments in business and in the White House are real and unparalleled, just as they ignore Biden’s visible deterioration in a campaign that borders on elder abuse. Biden is showing real signs of dementia, not imaginary ones conjured up out of hatred for and policy differences with Trump. We are witnessing the most epic breakdown since Captain Queeg lost it in the classic film The Caine Mutiny. The story is now that Biden’s V.P. selection is being delayed because party bosses are worried he might totally lose it soon and might not make it to November, much less the White House.
As Greg Gutfeld of Fox News notes, you can’t have a “V.P.” without a “P.” That pick will be the most consequential pick perhaps ever and in fact become the president or the presidential nominee of the Democrats. Should we be allowing Joe to pick up all the marbles when we can’t be sure he hasn’t lost all of his?
To quote Joe Biden, this is a BFD.

thelibertybeacon--2020-08-10--KEN’S CORNER: A Lobotomy of Truth in the American Mind

A Lobotomy of Truth in the American Mind To understand what is going on in this world of global scamdemic chaos is no easy task .
Lies are projected non-stop into our minds from every side , and professionally done .
It is indeed mind control , and this constant barrage of orchestrated deceit envelops and taints not only our perception of reality , but enslaves us collectively into a state of constant contradiction .
This contradiction is a tool , and inhibits us from uniting for a common cause .
In that process , Truth is not recognizable , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can reason through the many forms of hypocrisy accepted as truth .
Like a black veil , duplicity is fed to our American citizens as a cold betrayal .
Without truth there is no means left to make a viable decision , and as tyranny controls our minds and spirits with fear and terror , we grasp at their coattails for the solution to a problem they created .
In that process , tyranny gains its power by popular consent , and mindsets , well formulated by trusted authority figures push an agenda @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trust we will consent to giving away our civil liberty for perceived safety , our national sovereignty for some instilled guilt , relinquish our national treasure and bow to a bureaucracy that has the power to print worthless , and unaccountable , money out of thin air .
Control the purse , and you control everything .
How very clever .
International entities are saddling our future , and our children ’ s future… with a debt that can never be paid , and as we are not allowed to look into Fort @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we doubled our national debt in just eight .
Just like the blaring inconsistencies of 911 , this ability is beyond belief .
But it is far worse , as our national debt was just 6 trillion , the accumulated debt of every presidency since George Washington , with four trillion added four months before Obama took office in 2008 .
We are today , well over 20 trillion in debt , and we can not get an accounting of where that money actually went .
What kind of fools are we ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Congressional Hearing that they are above all law , international , domestic , or constitutional , and we think that normal .
And , while we box with smoke and mirrors , fight our brothers as promoted , our minds are vacuous voids happily filled by them , our masters .
From them we derive our reason for being , and if we vie not to participate , are hunted down like animals .
Try it .
Let ’ s see how far you make it… This dependent and trusting mindset is cleverly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a government-run educational system , a Progressive , Socialist , Communistic Hollywood , with TV programming and commercials that convince by convoluted displays of unloving sex , violence , and unquenchable shame .
With what might be considered insane , we think that our insatiable greed is an original thought , and that lust for the power of violence for its own sake , a normal human action , and some will die to defend any accusation that their thoughts and actions are controlled .
Most however , do not care at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ compass but for what they beg or scratch for .
We have paid for unrelenting and constant wars throughout our lives , and have grown to believe this normal for a free society to remain so , and the fact that so few question this , proves without a doubt that we are little more than slaves .
We are never allowed to see the destruction , the human suffering our bombs are creating , and that seems just fine for the new American ( vacant ) sensibility .
We can applaud a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ defend his homeland , accept pot metal and colored cloth symbols for the wholesale slaughter of entire countries , and as we debate the burning of our flag in a Chicago street with rage , plant our stars and stripes for another conquest of the military industrial complex .
Yes , we can love our country , but shouldn ’ t we have a reason for laying down our lives , other than corporate and banking profit ?
Yes , the world is full of what we are told are bad guys , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we question our own motivations ?
Yes , slaves are not allowed to question .
Yes , and we can not name our masters for fear of reprisal .
In that process , by the use of monster computers , our reactions are predicted by a small margin of error , and it grows smaller by the moment .
This system relishes in the promotion of irresponsibility… blind faith , acceptance , and a needy reliance and confidence in authority .
Doped , enough minds are produced that are incapable of self censorship @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is taught in every Ivy League school .

A Lobotomy of Truth in the American Mind
By TLB Contributing Author: Ken LaRive
To understand what is going on in this world of global scamdemic chaos is no easy task. Lies are projected non-stop into our minds from every side, and professionally done. It is indeed mind control, and this constant barrage of orchestrated deceit envelops and taints not only our perception of reality, but enslaves us collectively into a state of constant contradiction. This contradiction is a tool, and inhibits us from uniting for a common cause. In that process, Truth is not recognizable, and dies on the vine.
Few can reason through the many forms of hypocrisy accepted as truth. Like a black veil, duplicity is fed to our American citizens as a cold betrayal. Without truth there is no means left to make a viable decision, and as tyranny controls our minds and spirits with fear and terror, we grasp at their coattails for the solution to a problem they created. In that process, tyranny gains its power by popular consent, and mindsets, well formulated by trusted authority figures push an agenda. We trust, and with that trust we will consent to giving away our civil liberty for perceived safety, our national sovereignty for some instilled guilt, relinquish our national treasure and bow to a bureaucracy that has the power to print worthless, and unaccountable, money out of thin air. Control the purse, and you control everything. How very clever.
International entities are saddling our future, and our children’s future… with a debt that can never be paid, and as we are not allowed to look into Fort Knox for well over 50 years, we doubled our national debt in just eight. Just like the blaring inconsistencies of 911, this ability is beyond belief. But it is far worse, as our national debt was just 6 trillion, the accumulated debt of every presidency since George Washington, with four trillion added four months before Obama took office in 2008. We are today, well over 30 trillion in debt, and we cannot get an accounting of where that money actually went. What kind of fools are we? The Federal Reserve tells us in a Congressional Hearing that they are above all law, international, domestic, or constitutional, and we think that normal. And, while we box with smoke and mirrors, fight our brothers as promoted, our minds are vacuous voids happily filled by them, our masters. From them we derive our reason for being, and if we vie not to participate, are hunted down like animals. Try it. Let’s see how far you make it…
This dependent and trusting mindset is cleverly designed and installed by a fake media, a government-run educational system, a Progressive, Socialist, Communistic Hollywood, with TV programming and commercials that convince by convoluted displays of unloving sex, violence, and unquenchable shame. With what might be considered insane, we think that our insatiable greed is an original thought, and that lust for the power of violence for its own sake, a normal human action, and some will die to defend any accusation that their thoughts and actions are controlled. Most however, do not care at all, with no moral standard or compass but for what they beg or scratch for.
We have paid for unrelenting and constant wars throughout our lives, and have grown to believe this normal for a free society to remain so, and the fact that so few question this, proves without a doubt that we are little more than slaves. We are never allowed to see the destruction, the human suffering our bombs are creating, and that seems just fine for the new American (vacant) sensibility. We can applaud a sniper who kills a patriot trying to defend his homeland, accept pot metal and colored cloth symbols for the wholesale slaughter of entire countries, and as we debate the burning of our flag in a Chicago street with rage, plant our stars and stripes for another conquest of the military industrial complex. Yes, we can love our country, but shouldn’t we have a reason for laying down our lives, other than corporate and banking profit? Yes, the world is full of what we are told are bad guys, but why are we so maligned when we question our own motivations? Yes, slaves are not allowed to question. Yes, and we can not name our masters for fear of reprisal.
In that process, by the use of monster computers, our reactions are predicted by a small margin of error, and it grows smaller by the moment. This system relishes in the promotion of irresponsibility… blind faith, acceptance, and a needy reliance and confidence in authority. Doped, enough minds are produced that are incapable of self censorship, self governance, and Machiavellian control is taught in every Ivy League school. Yes, lets make Marijuana legal. That will expand our minds.
We have now, a general populous taught by Government mandate of a people who can find little or no standard more worthy then their own immediate gratification, selfish delights, and who subsist and survive on the crumbs from their master’s table… a trusting reliance on an authority who inhibits both their potential and government allotted Liberty, and we fight over who can use a woman’s bathroom. This was called by Machiavelli to be voluntary servitude, the worse kind of slavery. Slavery of the spirit, is the last nail… In his book “The Prince,” there lies the veritable blueprint of every tyrant, be they called Communist, Socialist, Marxist, Progressive, or NeoCon. All tyranny get their power from the same source, fear, with the machine being the control of truth and money.
The bullies who control us from cradle to grave are taking more than our heritage… but our minds and souls… The future of our children belong to them.
In retrospect, a playground bully stealing our lunch money as a kid feels the same as a government stealing our future as an adult, and there are many ways to do that… and most Americans have inadvertently been taught to turn a blind eye. It is justified, we are told, by a fight or flight response that tells us to choose our battles, even as we are swept along by them. We have learned to cope with the strong undercurrents of our American civilization, a corruption that is a cancer to the very framework of our Republic, truth, our Constitution, and Liberty. This precious gift that is America, has been eroded every generation for a hundred years, and if we the people do not finally unite to fight this tyranny, another nail will be deliberately hammered. America is a great prize, and international Banks, and the Federal Reserve will do everything in their power to continue to milk it. If we have the guts to ask what they can actually do to harm us, the answer is clear… They will, and are capable of doing anything at all, even burning us to the ground. Is the second coming of Trump our last hope, without full-blown civil war? It will be a war from the inside out and the outside in, and will be the biggest purge in the history of mankind. I pray it will not come to that, but our founders warned us about the blood of Patriots…
… they warned us, their children, that we must fight for Liberty every generation, or it will be taken away… and once gone, only bloodshed will get it back…
Ignorance is bliss, I’ve heard said laughingly, and we are indeed what we think we are as a product of our environment… Sure, it’s easy to say these idioms, and with feeling too, like they are justifications in their own right. Justifications for the blind faith that not only motivates us, but keeps us safe to fight another day. But the day of reckoning will come, a universal law, as is witnessed all around the world and throughout history… It comes in a moment of desperation, when people finally have had enough.
Sometimes we think we are just too close to this life to see what it’s really all about. We are so busy, so caught up with our tangled lives that we fail to grasp but a portion of the total picture… Memory is fuzzy, history is distorted by bias, and time just presses on… It’s unsettling when a few pieces of the puzzle emerge after the fact, and we can glimpse, even for just a moment, that our reality has been carefully fed to us, crafted, orchestrated, manipulated, influenced, and truth withheld from us with the inflection that we are mindless fools… Perhaps they know us better than we know ourselves, as never in the history of the world has a population been capable of self governing. Never. This is why we were given a Republic based on Constitutional Law, seemingly undeserved. If you want to survive with Liberty as your standard, demand truth by making lies accountable, and embrace your Constitution. And anyone, or any thing who tries to take that away is your mortal enemy. Show them no quarter, as I assure you, they will show you none.
God bless America.

From the Author, Ken La Rive – We in the Liberty movement have been fighting to take back this country for less than a decade, peacefully and with the love of God and country in our hearts. Our banner has been trampled on and displaced by a multitude of distractions, further eroding our nation and the cause for Liberty. And so, as we are pulled by forces we cannot fathom, powerful entities with unlimited resources stolen from our future, unaccountable trillions printed out of thin air and put on our backs as debt, we must formulate the most pitiful of all questions any patriot might ask in the final hour: Are we going to fight for our master’s tyranny, or are we going to demand the return of our civil liberties and Constitution? Are we going to choose The Banner of Liberty, or the shackles of voluntary servitude? Will it be a war for corporate profit, or a war to regain our ability to self govern, as the blood and toil of our forefathers presented to us, their children, as a gift? I fear that decision is emanate. I fear that any decision will be a hard one, but my greatest fear of all is that the decision has already been made for us. More information about Ken La Rive.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)

One day at the beginning of April this year I had an awakening .
It dawned on me that Russia had been leaned upon to change its policy regarding COVID-19 .

I might just as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made me question , and I guess many other RT viewers questioned it , too .
Who had such control of the Russian media ?
After all , RT is 100 % state-owned .
Was the Russian Bank ( RosBank ) behind the change ?
Rosbank is also 100 % state-owned so there would be little reason to have done an about turn over COVID-19 unless the Russian government had also had a change of policy .
I concluded that some ultra-powerful entity must have been behind the change , some entity with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Russian deaths started rising to US , UK elevations , its near neighbour Belarus was containing COVID-19 in the way I was expecting Russia to have done , the way South Korea was still doing .
The most likely reason for the Russian policy change has only come to light within the last week or two .

JOHN GOSS
One day at the beginning of April this year I had an awakening. It dawned on me that Russia had been leaned upon to change its policy regarding COVID-19. By that time the virus had spread through the UK like wildfire and was reaching its peak whereas in Russia there had been few infections and very few deaths.
It disturbed me that Russia Today (RT), a favoured TV channel, had changed course. It had always been a safe harbour in which to dock alternative viewpoints and seek solace from the lies and dogma of our own major news broadcasters. With the exception of events of 9/11, Russia Today seemed to offer a refreshing and often incisively critical insight into world affairs, throwing new light on the Skripal affair and the alleged chemical attacks in Syria, among other worthy reporting.
When the viral spread of SARS-COV-2 hit the west, forcing lockdowns and facial masks, RT was praising Russia’s efforts in controlling the spread and keeping deaths to a minimum. By all measures, it looked like Russia had bucked the trend and everything was under control. Suddenly all that changed. News readers, regular anchors and reporters were pushing a totally different message. In essence, the coronavirus rhetoric had gone east. Accompanying footage suddenly contained repetitive images of people wearing masks and RT’s UK viewers were being advised to follow the guidelines on lockdown for our own safety and the safety of others. I might just as well have been watching the BBC.
It made me question, and I guess many other RT viewers questioned it, too. Who had such control of the Russian media? After all, RT is 100% state-owned. Was the Russian Bank (RosBank) behind the change? Rosbank is also 100% state-owned so there would be little reason to have done an about turn over COVID-19 unless the Russian government had also had a change of policy. I concluded that some ultra-powerful entity must have been behind the change, some entity with more clout than the state.
While Russian deaths started rising to US, UK elevations, its near neighbour Belarus was containing COVID-19 in the way I was expecting Russia to have done, the way South Korea was still doing. The most likely reason for the Russian policy change has only come to light within the last week or two. Tyler Durden posted an article from GreatGameIndia.com, which showed that the Belarus president, Alexandr Lukashenko, had been offered a bribe to adopt the same measures Italy had adopted – that is lockdown, curfews, masks and other severe restrictions. (ER: we’ve linked to this article above.)

Africa, which has had a very low infection and death-rate from COVID-19, has likewise had several of its countries targeted by multi-billion cash-cows – WHO and Bill Gates – which pretty well amounts to Bill Gates since he is one of the biggest donors to WHO. African countries which have been offered bribes include Tanzania, Burundi and Madagascar. It can hardly be assumed they are alone.
Meanwhile in Belarus, life has gone on as normal. Football spectators have continued to go to matches and the season is in full swing with cup matches currently being played. According to the United Nations Human Rights Council, a few companies have encouraged employees to work from home. Opposition outlets have cast doubt on Lukashenko’s lack of action over lockdowns, curfews and tracing. Towards the end of March, Yuliana Volkova wrote an article designed to raise panic among Belarus residents in much the same way our media has succeeded.
She cited instances of generosity from the private sector for PPI equipment to hospitals, raised fears about Russians who had visited Thailand or Florence and were now in Belarus hospitals, stating that hospitals were full of patients who were only ever diagnosed as having pneumonia. She finished her alarmist piece by saying she hoped all this was just panic and psychosis. And so it proved to be.
Today, August 9th, Belarus is holding its presidential elections. Svetlana Tikhonovskaya (pictured) is the main opposition candidate. She recently commandeered a rally in Minsk of some 18,000 to 63,000 supporters. But she is a substitute. A month earlier the main opposition candidate had been banker, Viktor Babariko (pictured below), the head of Belgazprombank, who was arrested in June.
Babariko, saw himself as an ideal candidate since he believed the country needed a manager after Lukashenko’s mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. He told Meduza that during the pandemic “the government showed incredible neglect.” Babariko is a great believer in loans and quite clearly would be willing to snap the hands off the World Bank with its COVID-19 bribes – and just as willing to pay the forfeits attached.
Babariko, who was often seen wearing a face-mask even though few of his supporters do, is being held on charges of embezzlement. He has also been accused of engaging in official authority abuse and withdrawals from banks in Cyprus, London and Latvia. He faces up to four years in prison on the embezzlement charges. Investigations into his bank, a sister bank of the Russian Gazprom, have been ongoing since 2016. While he is ensconced, Svetlana Tikhonovskaya stands in his place. If elected she has agreed to release Babariko and call fresh elections.
On 28 July, a contingent of Russian mercenaries were arrested in Belarus. They are members of a private military company called “Wagner” and the purpose of their presence in the country is being investigated. Lukashenko believes they may have been sent to destabilise the elections while Russia denies any involvement.
In a broadcast on the 4th of August, Lukashenko again raised the issue of the 33 militants, though mostly his speech was about internal affairs. He added that there was knowledge of another detachment having been sent to the south and that these militants would be caught, too. A spokeswoman for the Russian government, Maria Zakharova, said there was no proof that the Russians arrested were guilty.
Lukashenko has been in power for 26 years and is seeking a sixth term. He recently told a national security meeting that he had himself suffered from COVID-19 without showing any symptoms. “97% of the population is asymptomatic” he said, adding that the rest of the world was suffering from what he called “coronapsychosis”.
Whatever happens in the election today, if there is a change in leadership it will mean another World Bank controlled state, with restricted visits to the beaches – although landlocked they do have beaches – social distancing, face masks and all the other constraints including a lack of leisure and sports activities, indeed everything concomitant with a locked-down state! The choice is the people’s.
By this time tomorrow, we will know just how wise they are.

The End of Days for the Cabal?

This is interesting .
Check out the video !
The following is speculation on my part : The “ Deep State ” ( Globalists/NWO/Cabal , call them what you will ) are a global dynastic crime syndicate that comprise in effect a Big Bucks Aristocracy for the planet that has been working very hard and very covertly for a long time to form an authoritarian one-world government that operates through local puppet governments .
They will leave alone any national leader who is a “ their boy ” ( examples are such war-mongering loons as Tony Blair and Barak Obama @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their purpose to betray him or her .
They will attack and attempt to remove anyone who comes to power in a country who is not “ their boy ” .
Vladimir Putin back at the time the globalists were looking for an excuse for the US etc to attack Syria stuck his neck out and showed himself to not be “ their boy| ” .
Ever since he has been attacked and vilified .
Donald Trump has shown himself to not be “ their boy ” and the attacks on him have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Xi in China may not be their boy either , hence the effort to discredit him by trotting out one of their front men like Soros to tell us how bad he is .
Am I right ?
We ’ ll see .
But if I am , the Cabal/Deep State creeps have a problem in that all three of the major powers now have governments not on board with them , who have goals and ambitions of their own either for themselves or their countries or both .
This does not necessarily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the cabal is losing its grip and approaching the End of Days so far as it is concerned .
It is therefore very very jittery and I would imagine terrified of losing its hold .
If it loses its hold , then the prospect looms of it , its major players , henchmen and collaborators having to answer for their crimes , which are considerable .
That panic has spawned the Coronavius psyop which is now unraveling and is going to prove , as the truth as to how they tried to play @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and their collaborators ( such as Bojo their tame Prime Minister in the UK and his henchman Hancock . )
I should also point out that these sly globalist creeps are not infallible and they make blunders .
One of them being using degenerates with no credibility such as Soros as their front man .
When this centuries ’ old cabalistic aristocracy falls , will we replace it with something decent ?
Well there is every chance that we can but it will be up to us and what we , the People @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been returned to us .
The above article was originally published on UK Reloaded The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate , and for this we are grateful and excited !
But we must also be practical .
For 7 years we have not asked for any donations , and have built this project with our own funds as we grew .
We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent .
So we have just installed donation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you consider this when you visit them .

This is interesting. Check out the video!
The following is speculation on my part:
The “Deep State” (Globalists/NWO/Cabal, call them what you will) are a global dynastic crime syndicate that comprise in effect a Big Bucks Aristocracy for the planet that has been working very hard and very covertly for a long time to form an authoritarian one-world government that operates through local puppet governments.
They will leave alone any national leader who is a “their boy” (examples are such war-mongering loons as Tony Blair and Barak Obama or Boris Johnson) unless it suits their purpose to betray him or her.
They will attack and attempt to remove anyone who comes to power in a country who is not “their boy”.
Vladimir Putin back at the time the globalists were looking for an excuse for the US etc to attack Syria stuck his neck out and showed himself to not be “their boy|”. Ever since he has been attacked and vilified.
Donald Trump has shown himself to not be “their boy” and the attacks on him have been relentless.
It seems possible that Xi in China may not be their boy either, hence the effort to discredit him by trotting out one of their front men like Soros to tell us how bad he is.
Am I right? We’ll see.
But if I am, the Cabal/Deep State creeps have a problem in that all three of the major powers now have governments not on board with them, who have goals and ambitions of their own either for themselves or their countries or both. This does not necessarily make them angels but it DOES mean the cabal is losing its grip and approaching the End of Days so far as it is concerned.
It is therefore very very jittery and I would imagine terrified of losing its hold. If it loses its hold, then the prospect looms of it, its major players, henchmen and collaborators having to answer for their crimes, which are considerable.
That panic has spawned the Coronavius psyop which is now unraveling and is going to prove, as the truth as to how they tried to play us comes out, catastrophic for them and their collaborators (such as Bojo their tame Prime Minister in the UK and his henchman Hancock.)
I should also point out that these sly globalist creeps are not infallible and they make blunders. One of them being using degenerates with no credibility such as Soros as their front man.
When this centuries’ old cabalistic aristocracy falls, will we replace it with something decent?
Well there is every chance that we can but it will be up to us and what we, the People, do with the power that has been returned to us.

thelibertybeacon--2020-08-10--Police Stop RT Interview with Asylum Seeker – WHY are migrants living in HOTELS in UK? [Videos]

ER Editor : We ’ re doing a twofer here , by Chris Sweeney of RT and Paul Joseph Watson , on the theme of ‘ you can ’ t expose the official treatment of illegals to the UK public for fear of arrest ‘ .
Both articles were published over the weekend .
Between Chris Sweeney , Paul Joseph Watson and Nigel Farage , there is a balance of perspectives .
There are several videos in this posting , which we recommend viewing .
Farage does a follow-up to the first one , both of which are quite revealing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mercur hotel chains , among other corporations specially set up for this kind of ‘ outsourcing ’ situation , must be raking it in .
MSM is presenting this issue as if the public are well aware and even delighted by this state of affairs .
But they ’ re not on both counts , as local residents reveal .
Update : See also this RT piece from August 9 titled New UK commander to tackle migrant boat ‘ invasion , ’ as record numbers reach British shores .
Of note : On @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shores in 17 different vessels , a record number in one day .
The previous record was set a month earlier , when 202 people were caught by Border Force officers .
More than 4,200 have arrived this year so far , with only 155 returned between January and April .
A mere 20 miles ( 32km ) separates Britain and France at the narrowest point of the English Channel .
A recent spell of warm weather – coupled with a slowdown in truck traffic through the Channel Tunnel – has seen hordes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , pleasure craft , and kayaks .
As a journalist in Britain , you don ’ t expect to be shut down by the police .
But that ’ s precisely what happened during RT ’ s visit to the 3-star Bell Hotel in Epping , about 17 miles north of London .
No blame can be attributed to the officers , who were only responding to a call from the hotel ’ s management .
The question is , why were they even alerted ?
The reason for that is unclear , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a number of unanswered questions about the controversy surrounding hundreds of asylum seekers being housed in hotels up and down the country , some operated by well-known chains like Hilton , Holiday Inn and Radisson .
Social media has been ablaze with a list of around 20 establishments being circulated by activists , highlighting where the asylum seekers are staying .
Some people are privately concerned that rogue elements may begin to turn up at these hotels to confront the migrants , which in the worst circumstances could possibly spark violence .
( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even bigger issues at stake here .
Check the Nigel Farage video below . )
Nigel Farage , the Brexit Party leader , posted a video of him visiting a Hilton hotel in Bromsgrove , Worcestershire , but despite a big reaction , the mainstream media has generally avoided the matter .
( ER : we ’ re posting this short video , which we highly recommend watching for the taxpayer-funded gravy train that the UK govt has provided to corporate hotel chains , other corporate beneficiaries such as Serco – the ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ migrants themselves . )
On our visit to The Bell Hotel , we were unsure what to expect .
Some hotels reportedly have security guards , but when we arrived , there was no answer at the entrance and the front door was locked .
However , many of the rooms are in small buildings surrounding the reception , so we walked over and spoke to three asylum seekers .
The first was from Kuwait , who spoke very little English ; however , he managed to confirm he had arrived by boat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bedroom window and informed us that he had come from Sri Lanka with his wife and child .
The third was a charming young Kurdish man – also with his wife and kids – who had previously worked as an interpreter back home and was keen to find employment in England .
He began to speak at length , detailing his motivations and why he wanted to build a new life to offer hope for his children .
But despite no one appearing to be unhappy , the interview was cut short as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ four officers in two cars , one of which was unmarked .
They informed us that the management has said we were trespassing on private property and the officers politely escorted us off the premises – and also informed us where we could continue filming .
We subsequently interviewed three concerned local residents who voiced frustrations about the lack of communication from the authorities about the housing of asylum seekers .
The entire process is shrouded in mystery and misinformation .
The issue has also become more prominent due to the flood of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by small boats or dinghies from France ( some apparently escorted across by French Naval ships ) , along the Kent coast , mainly into the port of Dover .
Thursday alone saw 235 people – including a heavily pregnant woman – cross from France , the highest amount ever in a single day .
That brought the total number of arrivals so far in 2020 to 3,948 – more than double the amount for the whole of last year .

Due to Covid-19 restrictions , a decision was made to house them in hotels – which have been closed to ordinary guests .
This process is being managed on behalf of the Home Office by three private companies : Serco , Mears Group and Clearsprings Ready Homes .
Each firm controls different regions of the UK , with the cost amounting to £4 billion over 10-years .
RT contacted Serco and Clearsprings – The Bell Hotel is under their jurisdiction – for comment , but they advised us to contact the Home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a response to our questions .

British Man Arrested For Filming Migrants Being Loaded Onto Coaches In Dover

********
As a journalist in Britain, you don’t expect to be shut down by the police. But that’s precisely what happened during RT’s visit to the 3-star Bell Hotel in Epping, about 17 miles north of London. No blame can be attributed to the officers, who were only responding to a call from the hotel’s management.
The question is, why were they even alerted?
The reason for that is unclear, but it’s just one of a number of unanswered questions about the controversy surrounding hundreds of asylum seekers being housed in hotels up and down the country, some operated by well-known chains like Hilton, Holiday Inn and Radisson.
Social media has been ablaze with a list of around 20 establishments being circulated by activists, highlighting where the asylum seekers are staying.
Some people are privately concerned that rogue elements may begin to turn up at these hotels to confront the migrants, which in the worst circumstances could possibly spark violence. (ER: Really? Surely there are even bigger issues at stake here. Check the Nigel Farage video below.)
Nigel Farage, the Brexit Party leader, posted a video of him visiting a Hilton hotel in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, but despite a big reaction, the mainstream media has generally avoided the matter. (ER: we’re posting this short video, which we highly recommend watching for the taxpayer-funded gravy train that the UK govt has provided to corporate hotel chains, other corporate beneficiaries such as Serco – the ‘middle men’? – and illegal migrants themselves.)
On our visit to The Bell Hotel, we were unsure what to expect.
Some hotels reportedly have security guards, but when we arrived, there was no answer at the entrance and the front door was locked. However, many of the rooms are in small buildings surrounding the reception, so we walked over and spoke to three asylum seekers.
The first was from Kuwait, who spoke very little English; however, he managed to confirm he had arrived by boat.
The second noticed us from his bedroom window and informed us that he had come from Sri Lanka with his wife and child.
The third was a charming young Kurdish man – also with his wife and kids – who had previously worked as an interpreter back home and was keen to find employment in England.
He began to speak at length, detailing his motivations and why he wanted to build a new life to offer hope for his children.
(ER: One migrant, an Iraqi Kurd possibly, makes a very pertinent geopolitical comment in this video about the western powers in the Middle East. Sad that citizens here don’t know this …)
.
The government’s position? Silence
But despite no one appearing to be unhappy, the interview was cut short as the police arrived – in total, four officers in two cars, one of which was unmarked.
They informed us that the management has said we were trespassing on private property and the officers politely escorted us off the premises – and also informed us where we could continue filming.
We subsequently interviewed three concerned local residents who voiced frustrations about the lack of communication from the authorities about the housing of asylum seekers.
The entire process is shrouded in mystery and misinformation.
The issue has also become more prominent due to the flood of asylum seekers arriving in Britain, mainly by small boats or dinghies from France (some apparently escorted across by French Naval ships), along the Kent coast, mainly into the port of Dover. Thursday alone saw 235 people – including a heavily pregnant woman – cross from France, the highest amount ever in a single day.
That brought the total number of arrivals so far in 2020 to 3,948 – more than double the amount for the whole of last year.
There are also videos of migrants being loaded onto waiting coaches and bussed to various parts of the UK.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, a decision was made to house them in hotels – which have been closed to ordinary guests. This process is being managed on behalf of the Home Office by three private companies: Serco, Mears Group and Clearsprings Ready Homes.
Each firm controls different regions of the UK, with the cost amounting to £4 billion over 10-years.
RT contacted Serco and Clearsprings – The Bell Hotel is under their jurisdiction – for comment, but they advised us to contact the Home Office, who have yet to supply a response to our questions.
We also got in touch with the MP for Epping, Dame Eleanor Laing, but her office referred us to Epping Forest District Council, who have not responded.
If the media’s questions aren’t being answered, then is it any wonder members of the public feel ignored?
There are worries about the authorities not knowing who these asylum seekers are, with some online videos showing them discarding their identity cards into the sea before reaching land.
There are claims that some are actually illegal economic migrants, rather than genuine asylum seekers.
‘If you complain, you’re called a Nazi’
In all of this, there’s a large group of local residents who feel they no longer have a voice. RT spoke to several of them, but most were unwilling to go on the record for fear of losing their employment or being targeted.
One woman, whose husband served in the British Army’s Royal Engineers regiment, told me:
“There’s a silent majority in this country who are seething. As soon as you call out mass immigration and kick up about it, you’re called a racist or a Nazi but we aren’t – it’s a way of shutting us down. “No one has a problem with genuine refugees who are running away from raping, pillaging and ISIS, but what we have got a problem with is, our people being on a waiting list for social housing, and these refugees going straight into fully-furnished homes. It’s all being done without people’s consent. “And if you say anything on social media, the police investigate you for a hate crime and it makes you absolutely sick. “I know a guy who told me he said something on Twitter and the next thing, it was in the local paper and the police were investigating him. He was scared to lose his job and then not be able to afford his mortgage. “Ordinary people are being persecuted. We feel we don’t have a voice, but we pay our taxes and it’s out of control. I don’t blame those people, I blame our government for not stopping it. Why aren’t they sending these people back? We feel let down and like we’ve been slapped in the face by our own country.”
Some residents living near a number of the hotels claim to have seen a rise in petty crime since the migrants arrived. Others say it’s only young men who are arriving – but RT’s experience in Epping was contrary to this, with several women and children on site.
There’s also growing concern for the welfare of the migrants, who are legally not allowed to work and because their food is provided by hotels, they do not get the normal £35 stipend.
Back in June, the case of Badreddin Abdalla Adam highlighted this when the 28-year old Sudanese man went on a frenzied knife attack, stabbing six people, before armed police shot him dead. It transpired his room in Glasgow’s Park Inn had a single window, which faced a brick wall.
So after weeks in what was described as a “prison-like environment” and a lack of correspondence about his case, eventually he snapped.
The Home Office contracts state that the three companies have a duty to consider “the dignity, well-being and support” of the asylum seekers. But the tragic episode in Glasgow suggests differently, along with numerous reports of bad conditions being endured.
RT’s visit to Epping also raised questions, as the people seemed to be left to their own devices, with none being clear when their cases would be heard and with no evidence of on-site support.
There appeared to be an air of being stuffed into a hotel and forgotten about.
The Kurdish family of five, including three young children, are all staying together in one room.
More has to be done to ensure these people are being looked after.
If the authorities were open and explained what is happening at the ports, about why buses are there waiting for asylum seekers before they arrive – they could also defuse a lot of the tension amongst the general public.
This type of opening up of things could also help the asylum seekers assimilate into society, if they are granted the right to stay.
What certainly shouldn’t be happening is for the police to have to respond to calls that prevent the media from finding out what’s happening on the streets of Britain.
