Bill Gates is in his element these days, making appearances on all the mainstream channels, telling everyone about his plan to save the world from Coronavirus.
It involves working closely with pharmaceutical companies to invent and produce billions of doses of a CV-19 vaccine, then use the WHO and governments restrict civil liberties around the globe until people take the vaccine. Oh, and then tracking everyone’s movement and vaccine status with cell phone surveillance, contact tracing, and digital immunity certificates.
Here he is talking about how mass gatherings will not be permitted until you’re all vaccinated:
http://youtu.be/i1Xj_tzXMwI?t=13
While there might be a herd of people who are looking for a savior like Bill Gates, so-called ‘conspiracy theorists‘ have been warning the world for decades that Gates has long been positioning himself to be the provider of a pandemic vaccine that would be a safety requirement for all people to travel, drive, work, engage in commerce, worship, gather, or go to school.
But no one elected him to take charge of the situation.
He’s not a politician, not a doctor, not a virologist, nor an epidemiologist, not a scientist, and he’s not even a populist. In fact, he’s been on record for years talking about the need to reduce the global population through vaccine programs that discourage population growth.
What Gates is is a business man, and while he has done a great public relations job of presenting himself as a philanthropist, business and philanthropy together create an uncomfortable conflict of interest.
So uncomfortable, in fact, you can see it on Melinda Gates’ face when in a recent CNN interview she stumbles on her words trying to avoid acknowledging that vaccines are a BUSINESS. When asked about the promise of one of 8 vaccines already in production, Melinda replies:
“I’d say it looks promising. We wouldn’t have put it into pre-clinical trials if it wasn’t, but, you know, to be honest, since we’ve been in this, this, er, business before of vaccines, you want to have many candidates…”
This is a free world, supposedly, so if you want a Gates’ sponsored vaccine, good for you, go for it. Go ask your doctor, and go spend your money on it.
Apparently, though, a LOT of people are NOT interested, and people from all over the world are absolutely destroying Gates on his Twitter account over this. To be honest, it’s one of the most comforting displays of solidarity and resistance I’ve seen in these darkening times.
On Gates’ own Twitter page, nearly every post of his is flooded with people calling him out for the damage his vaccine programs have caused, and declaring their right to refuse any vaccine about to be rolled out for this. The following post is an instant classic:
On #WorldHealthDay — and every day — I want to thank all of the health heroes for their sacrifices and for keeping us safe. pic.twitter.com/0x9QFSrlQb — Bill Gates (@BillGates) April 7, 2020
Some choice comments include this one created by people of the Democratic Republic of Congo who do not wish to be guinea pigs for Covid-19 vaccine trials in Africa:
http://twitter.com/AfricanRiser/status/1247631483503771653
And this one reminds us of the close ties between Gates and Anthony Fauci. Conflict of interest, you say?
Someone else posted a picture of Gates with known pedophile and sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein:
Bill can’t stop a computer virus and was never elected to any role in public health https://t.co/qX9Gy1mSTU pic.twitter.com/hbpQhhl6O4 — Zero Free Speech (@MHawkin87611346) April 7, 2020
And there are memes:
http://twitter.com/C15E20/status/1249055243196862464
A declaration of medical independence:
WE DO NOT CONSENT! We know what you’ve been up to Bill. 👀 — Muffins Mckay (@monkeyinheels) April 7, 2020
It just goes on and on, so if you’re looking for signs of hope right now, take a few minutes to see how people around the world are feeling about this.
And the following compilation of responses to Gates is quite hilarious. Enjoy!

Did Anthony Fauci Just Allude to a Mandatory Coronavirus Vaccine?
Phillip Schneider, Staff Writer
Waking Times
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the physician appointed to head the Trump Administration’s Coronavirus Task Force, recently hinted at the idea that we may have a mandatory coronavirus vaccine in the near future.
At a press conference, Fauci suggested that society will be getting “back to normal” at some point, but only once we have proper treatment and prevention.
“When we get back to normal, we will go back to the point where we can function as a society. But … [i]f you want to get back to pre-coronavirus, that might not ever happen in the sense that the threat is there. But I believe that with the therapies that will be coming online, and the fact that I feel confident that over a period of time we will get a good vaccine, that we will never have to get back to where we are right now.” – Dr. Anthony Fauci
He also said:
“…if back to normal means acting like there never was a coronavirus problem, I don’t think that’s going to happen until we do have a situation where you can completely protect the population.”
The only way that they could “completely protect the population” is through a mandatory, and of course, lucrative vaccine. According to Fauci, “the ultimate solution to a virus that might be coming back would be a vaccine.”
If this is true then it is wonderful news for Bill Gates who has already invested billions of dollars into the development of a coronavirus vaccine. However, it does seem suspicious, and a potential conflict of interest, that Dr. Fauci is also on the board of the Bill & Melina Gates Foundation’s vaccine Leadership Council.
Earlier this month, Fauci said:
“It’ll take a few months to get the data to where we’ll feel confident to go to the phase two, and then a few months from now we’ll be in phase two and I think we’re right on target for the year to year and a half.”
Governments have not hesitated to turn vaccinations into an exercise of authority in the past. In some U.S. states, your children can’t even attend public school without first getting inoculated for the flu.
In one area of New York City, residents can face fines up to $1000 if they do not get vaccinated for the measles. Some areas of the US are even removing religious exemptions regardless of the fact that aborted human fetal tissue is often sold to vaccine manufacturers and used in their products, including the coronavirus vaccine itself.
Some are also concerned about harmful additives in vaccines, including aluminum, mercury, and formaldehyde, which scientists and concerned citizens alike have been vigorously debating for decades.
Governments and the mainstream media have been sweeping promising Covid-19 treatments under the rug, such as hydroxychloroquine and intravenous vitamin C, in favor of a pharmaceutical vaccine. You could speculate that they would rather support the vaccine manufacturers whom they advertise with instead of vitamin C or Zinc, which is low cost and can be acquired virtually anywhere.
Regardless of what you think about vaccines in general, the question that we all must ask ourselves is that of individual vs. state power. Should we allow the government more control over our bodies out of the fear that we might spread a dangerous illness, or is it more important to retain our liberties during times of crisis for ourselves and for future generations?
If American heroes like Patrick Henry were alive today, you know that they would say… “Give me Liberty or Give me Death!”

Passport to The Brave New World: The Vaccine

I have already written about the currency reset and other features of a technocratic future waiting in the wings. —New levels of visible surveillance, social credit scores, universal guaranteed income, Internet of Things, energy-use quotas, smart cities.
—Events can move in several directions, going forward. In this article, I explore one of those directions.
The occasion is this fake pandemic; the big hammer is the vaccine against the phony COVID.
As Fauci mentioned a couple of months ago, it could be a DNA vaccine—new technology—which means it is really gene therapy. Synthesized genes are injected into the body. They purportedly set up immunity. Actually, they PERMANENTLY alter the genetic makeup of the recipient.
As you can imagine, this creates the opportunity to put many different genes into humans. To try to invent “new humans.”
The so-called immunity certificates Fauci is now talking about? They would be issued to people who test positive on the new antibody tests for COVID-19—which is an interesting turnaround, because, since 1984, positive tests results have generally been taken to mean “infected.” Why the shift?
Because there is a need for these immunity certificates—as an INTRO to condition the population to an IDEA.
If and when the COVID vaccine arrives, the certificates would be used to signify immunity for all those who take the shot.
It would function as a license. Your passport into the Brave New World. You’re “immune,” so you’re allowed to move out of fear mode. And circulate and travel and enter schools…
For DNA vaccines, the reference is the New York Times, 3/15/15, “Protection Without a Vaccine.” It describes the frontier of research. Here are key quotes that illustrate the use of synthetic genes to “protect against disease,” while changing the genetic makeup of humans. This is not science fiction:
“By delivering synthetic genes into the muscles of the [experimental] monkeys, the scientists are essentially re-engineering the animals to resist disease.” “’The sky’s the limit,’ said Michael Farzan, an immunologist at Scripps and lead author of the new study.” “The first human trial based on this strategy — called immunoprophylaxis by gene transfer, or I.G.T. — is underway, and several new ones are planned.” [That was five years ago.] “I.G.T. is altogether different from traditional vaccination. It is instead a form of gene therapy. Scientists isolate the genes that produce powerful antibodies against certain diseases and then synthesize artificial versions. The genes are placed into viruses and injected into human tissue, usually muscle.”
Here is the punchline: “The viruses invade human cells with their DNA payloads, and the synthetic gene is incorporated into the recipient’s own DNA. If all goes well, the new genes instruct the cells to begin manufacturing powerful antibodies.”
Read that again: “the synthetic gene is incorporated into the recipient’s own DNA.”
Alteration of the human genetic makeup.
Not just a “visit.” Permanent residence.
The Times article taps Dr. David Baltimore for an opinion:
“Still, Dr. Baltimore says that he envisions that some people might be leery of a vaccination strategy that means altering their own DNA, even if it prevents a potentially fatal disease.”
Yes, some people might be leery. If they have two or three working brain cells.
This is genetic roulette with a loaded gun.
And the further implications are clear. Vaccines can be used as a cover for the injections of any and all genes, whose actual purpose is unannounced.
The vaccine masters have a problem. They know their genetic technology is far from perfect. Plans to re-engineer the human race are not a simple one two three.
For example, consider the latest and greatest genetic tool, called CRISPR.
Here is a backgrounder I wrote a year ago.
New CRISPR gene-editing: the extreme dangers
Technologynetworks.com (6/26/17): “CRISPR gene editing is taking biomedical research by storm. Providing the ultimate toolbox for genetic manipulation, many new applications for this technology are now being investigated and established. CRISPR systems are already delivering superior genetic models for fundamental disease research, drug screening and therapy development, rapid diagnostics, in vivo editing and correction of heritable conditions and now the first human CRISPR clinical trials.”
All hail.
It’s called CRISPR, a much faster, more precise, and cheaper technique for editing genes. Researchers are in love with it. You can find hundreds of articles and studies fawning over the innovation.
At phys.org, however, we have this, ahem, warning note (5/29/17): “…a new study published in Nature Methods has found that the gene-editing technology can introduce hundreds of unintended mutations into the genome.”
Oops.
“In the new study, the researchers sequenced the entire genome of mice that had undergone CRISPR gene editing in the team’s previous study and looked for all mutations, including those that only altered a single nucleotide.” “The researchers determined that CRISPR had successfully corrected a gene that causes blindness, but Kellie Schaefer, a PhD student in the lab of Vinit Mahajan, MD, PhD, associate professor of ophthalmology at Stanford University, and co-author of the study, found that the genomes of two independent gene therapy recipients [mice] HAD SUSTAINED MORE THAN 1500 SINGLE-NUCLEOTIDE MUTATIONS AND MORE THAN 100 LARGER [GENE] DELETIONS AND INSERTIONS. None of these DNA mutations were predicted by computer algorithms that are widely used by researchers to look for off-target effects.” (Emphasis is mine.) “’Researchers who aren’t using whole genome sequencing to find off-target effects may be missing potentially important mutations,’ Dr. Tsang says. ‘Even a single nucleotide change can have a huge impact’.”
Genetic roulette is alive and well.
Spin the wheel, see what numbers come up. Good effects, bad effects, who knows? Step right up and take your chances.
Of course, researchers who admit these tremendous problems remain optimistic. They look forward to “refining the method.” That’s a cover for: “we really don’t know what we’re doing right now.”
Unfortunately, much science operates in this fashion. Launch a new technology, and turn a blind eye to the consequences. For example, place mercury, a devastating neurotoxin, in vaccines. What harm could result—aside from the destruction of children’s brains.
Here is more gushing PR, otherwise known as throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks: “There are weekly press releases and updates on new advances [in CRISPR] and discoveries made possible with this technology; the first evidence is now emerging that CRISPR-Cas9 could provide cures for major diseases including cancers and devastating human viruses such as HIV-1.” (technologynetworks.com)
The train has left the station.
And just in case you think only the most careful and competent leading lights of the genetic research community would be permitted to get within a mile of CRISPR, here is more from technologynetworks.com:
“CRISPR-Cas9 systems, tools and basic methodology are very accessible as ready to go toolkits that anyone with lab space and an idea can pick up and start working with…In response to a growing need, companies such as Desktop Genetics have developed open access software to accelerate CRISPR experimentation and analysis.”
That’s good to know. “Anyone with lab space and an idea” can jump on board and have at it.
Do your own cross breeding of the pregnant phrases, “What could possibly go wrong,” and “Nothing to see here, move along,” and you’ve summarized the situation.
“They say they cured my anemia, but now I turn green and purple and I keep falling down.”
If all this isn’t enough to make you see the dangers of CRISPR, consider this statement about engineering human immune cells (T-cells) in a “safer” way. From statnews.com (June 23, 2013):
“The experiment would alter the immune system’s T cells only after they’re removed from a patient. That gives scientists the chance to screen the CRISPR’d cells to make sure only the three intended genes, all involved in making T cells find and destroy tumor cells, are altered. But after those T cells are infused back into a patient to fight melanoma, sarcoma, or myeloma, the CRISPR system can keep editing DNA, and tracking such edits becomes like following a polar bear in a snowstorm.”
Not very comforting. Once set in motion, even under the most protected and limited conditions, CRISPR can keep on working, scrambling genes in unknown ways.
So…when it comes to DNA vaccines, aka gene therapy, a plan to precisely re-engineer humans could quite easily descend into uncontrolled chaos.
And the controllers and elite funders of the vaccine know that.
What to do?
With the global population as their guinea pigs, perhaps they would start small. Introduce the slightest possible gene-alteration, stand back and see what happens. Try out a gene that would ordinarily—hopefully—achieve next to nothing. Try to measure the results.
Viewed from one angle, the whole fake epidemic is a set-up for the vaccine, and for mandatory vaccines.
I have written about the special exemption from liability recently issued by the US Dept. of Health and Human Services. Basically, anyone associated with pharmaceutical strategies undertaken “against the coronavirus” cannot be sued, regardless of “adverse effects” of medicines or vaccines.
Taking a stand against mandatory vaccines—any and all vaccines—is more important than ever.

wakingtimes--2020-04-15--COVID-19 and the War on Cash: What Is Behind the Push for a Cashless Society?

COVID-19 and the War on Cash : What Is Behind the Push for a Cashless Society ?
Cash may well become a casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic .
As these COVID-19 lockdowns drag out , more and more individuals and businesses are going cashless ( for convenience and in a so-called effort to avoid spreading coronavirus germs ) , engaging in online commerce or using digital forms of currency ( bank cards , digital wallets , etc. )

As a result , physical cash is no longer king .
Yet there are other , more devious , reasons for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cash : a cashless society—easily monitored , controlled , manipulated , weaponized and locked down—would play right into the hands of the government ( and its corporate partners ) .
To this end , the government and its corporate partners-in-crime have been waging a subtle war on cash for some time now .
What is this war on cash ?
It ’ s a concerted campaign to shift consumers towards a digital mode of commerce that can easily be monitored , tracked , tabulated , mined for data , hacked , hijacked and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Steve Forbes , “ The real reason for this war on cash—start with the big bills and then work your way down—is an ugly power grab by Big Government .
People will have less privacy : Electronic commerce makes it easier for Big Brother to see what we ’ re doing , thereby making it simpler to bar activities it doesn ’ t like , such as purchasing salt , sugar , big bottles of soda and Big Macs.

Digital currency provides the government and its corporate partners with the ultimate method to track , control you and punish you .
In recent years , just the mere possession of significant amounts of cash could implicate you in suspicious activity and label you a criminal .
The rationale ( by police ) is that cash is the currency for illegal transactions given that it ’ s harder to track , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and denies the government its share of the “ take , ” so doing away with paper money will help law enforcement fight crime and help the government realize more revenue .
Despite what we know about the government and its history of corruption , bumbling , fumbling and data breaches , not to mention how easily technology can be used against us , the campaign to do away with cash is really not a hard sell .
It ’ s not a hard sell , that is , if you know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the government has become a grand master in the art of getting the citizenry to do exactly what it wants .
Remember , this is the same government that plans to use behavioral science tactics to “ nudge ” citizens to comply with the government ’ s public policy and program initiatives .

Right on schedule , a growing number of businesses are adopting no-cash policies , including certain airlines , hotels , rental car companies , restaurants and retail stores .

So what ’ s the deal here ?
Despite all of the advantages that go along with living in a digital age—namely , convenience—it ’ s hard to imagine how a cashless world navigated by way of a digital wallet doesn ’ t signal the beginning of the end for what little privacy we have left and leave us vulnerable to the likes of government thieves and data hackers .

In recent years , the U.S. government has been repeatedly hacked .
In 2015 , the Office of Personnel Management had more than 20 million personnel files stolen , everything from Social Security numbers to birth dates and fingerprint records .

And these are the people in charge of protecting our sensitive information ?
Fifth , if there ’ s one entity that will not stop using cash for its own nefarious purposes , it ’ s the U.S. government .
Cash is the currency used by the government to pay off its foreign “ associates.
” For instance , the Obama administration flew more than $ 400 million in cash to Iran , reportedly as part of a financial settlement with the country .
Critics claim the money was ransom paid for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then there was the $ 12 billion in shrink-wrapped $ 100 bills that the U.S. flew to Iraq only to claim it had no record of what happened to the money .
It just disappeared , we were told .
So when government economists tell you that two-thirds of all $ 100 bills in circulation are overseas—more than half a trillion dollars ’ worth—it ’ s a pretty good bet that the government played a significant part in their export .
Sixth , this drive to do away with cash is part of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ financial institutions and the United Nations that is transforming nations of all sizes , from the smallest nation to the biggest , most advanced economies .
Finally , short of returning to a pre-technological , Luddite age , there ’ s really no way to pull this horse back now that it ’ s left the gate .

To our detriment , we have virtually no control over who accesses our private information , how it is stored , or how it is used .
Whether we ever had much control remains up for debate .

COVID-19 and the War on Cash: What Is Behind the Push for a Cashless Society?
John W. Whitehead, Rutherford
Waking Times
“The fact is that the government, like a highwayman, says to a man: Your money, or your life. And many, if not most, taxes are paid under the compulsion of that threat. The government does not, indeed, waylay a man in a lonely place, spring upon him from the road side, and, holding a pistol to his head, proceed to rifle his pockets. But the robbery is none the less a robbery on that account; and it is far more dastardly and shameful.”—Lysander Spooner, American abolitionist and legal theorist
Cash may well become a casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As these COVID-19 lockdowns drag out, more and more individuals and businesses are going cashless (for convenience and in a so-called effort to avoid spreading coronavirus germs), engaging in online commerce or using digital forms of currency (bank cards, digital wallets, etc.). As a result, physical cash is no longer king.
Yet there are other, more devious, reasons for this re-engineering of society away from physical cash: a cashless society—easily monitored, controlled, manipulated, weaponized and locked down—would play right into the hands of the government (and its corporate partners).
To this end, the government and its corporate partners-in-crime have been waging a subtle war on cash for some time now.
What is this war on cash?
It’s a concerted campaign to shift consumers towards a digital mode of commerce that can easily be monitored, tracked, tabulated, mined for data, hacked, hijacked and confiscated when convenient.
According to economist Steve Forbes, “The real reason for this war on cash—start with the big bills and then work your way down—is an ugly power grab by Big Government. People will have less privacy: Electronic commerce makes it easier for Big Brother to see what we’re doing, thereby making it simpler to bar activities it doesn’t like, such as purchasing salt, sugar, big bottles of soda and Big Macs.”
Much like the war on drugs and the war on terror, this so-called “war on cash” is being sold to the public as a means of fighting terrorists, drug dealers, tax evaders and now COVID-19 germs.
Digital currency provides the government and its corporate partners with the ultimate method to track, control you and punish you.
In recent years, just the mere possession of significant amounts of cash could implicate you in suspicious activity and label you a criminal. The rationale (by police) is that cash is the currency for illegal transactions given that it’s harder to track, can be used to pay illegal immigrants, and denies the government its share of the “take,” so doing away with paper money will help law enforcement fight crime and help the government realize more revenue.
Despite what we know about the government and its history of corruption, bumbling, fumbling and data breaches, not to mention how easily technology can be used against us, the campaign to do away with cash is really not a hard sell.
It’s not a hard sell, that is, if you know the right buttons to push, and the government has become a grand master in the art of getting the citizenry to do exactly what it wants. Remember, this is the same government that plans to use behavioral science tactics to “nudge” citizens to comply with the government’s public policy and program initiatives.
It’s also not a hard sell if you belong to the Digital Generation, that segment of the population for whom technology is second nature and “the first generation born into a world that has never not known digital life.”
And it’s certainly not a hard sell if you belong to the growing class of Americans who use their cell phones to pay bills, purchase goods, and transfer funds.
In much the same way that Americans have opted into government surveillance through the convenience of GPS devices and cell phones, digital cash—the means of paying with one’s debit card, credit card or cell phone—is becoming the de facto commerce of the American police state.
Not too long ago, it was estimated that smart phones would replace cash and credit cards altogether by 2020. Right on schedule, a growing number of businesses are adopting no-cash policies, including certain airlines, hotels, rental car companies, restaurants and retail stores. In Sweden, even the homeless and churches accept digital cash.
Making the case for “never, ever carrying cash” in lieu of a digital wallet, journalist Lisa Rabasca Roepe argues that cash is inconvenient, ATM access is costly, and it’s now possible to reimburse people using digital apps such as Venmo. Thus, there’s no longer a need for cash. “More and more retailers and grocery stores are embracing Apple Pay, Google Wallet, Samsung Pay, and Android Pay,” notes Roepe. “PayPal’s app is now accepted at many chain stores including Barnes & Noble, Foot Locker, Home Depot, and Office Depot. Walmart and CVS have both developed their own payment apps while their competitors Target and RiteAid are working on their own apps.”
It’s not just cash that is going digital, either.
A growing number of states are looking to adopt digital driver’s licenses that would reside on your mobile phone. These licenses would include all of the information contained on your printed license, along with a few “extras” such as real-time data downloaded directly from your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles.
Of course, reading between the lines, having a digital driver’s license will open you up to much the same jeopardy as digital cash: it will make it possible for the government to better track your movements, monitor your activities and communications and ultimately shut you down.
So what’s the deal here?
Despite all of the advantages that go along with living in a digital age—namely, convenience—it’s hard to imagine how a cashless world navigated by way of a digital wallet doesn’t signal the beginning of the end for what little privacy we have left and leave us vulnerable to the likes of government thieves and data hackers.
First, when I say privacy, I’m not just referring to the things that you don’t want people to know about, those little things you do behind closed doors that are neither illegal nor harmful but embarrassing or intimate. I am also referring to the things that are deeply personal and which no one need know about, certainly not the government and its constabulary of busybodies, nannies, Peeping Toms, jail wardens and petty bureaucrats.
Second, we’re already witnessing how easy it will be for government agents to manipulate digital wallets for their own gain. For example, civil asset forfeiture schemes are becoming even more profitable for police agencies thanks to ERAD (Electronic Recovery and Access to Data) devices supplied by the Department of Homeland Security that allow police to not only determine the balance of any magnetic-stripe card (i.e., debit, credit and gift cards) but also freeze and seize any funds on pre-paid money cards. In fact, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that it does not violate the Fourth Amendment for police to scan or swipe your credit card.
Third, as commentator Paul Craig Roberts observed, while Americans have been distracted by the government’s costly war on terror, “the financial system, working hand-in-hand with policymakers, has done more damage to Americans than terrorists could possibly inflict.” Ultimately, as Roberts—who served as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy under Ronald Reagan—makes clear, the war on cash is about giving the government the ultimate control of the economy and complete access to the citizenry’s pocketbook.
Fourth, if there’s a will, there’s a way. So far, every technological convenience that has made our lives easier has also become our Achilles’ heel, opening us up to greater vulnerabilities from hackers and government agents alike. In recent years, the U.S. government has been repeatedly hacked. In 2015, the Office of Personnel Management had more than 20 million personnel files stolen, everything from Social Security numbers to birth dates and fingerprint records. In 2014, it was the White House, the State Department, the Post Office and other government agencies, along with a host of financial institutions, retailers and entertainment giants that had their files breached. And these are the people in charge of protecting our sensitive information?
Fifth, if there’s one entity that will not stop using cash for its own nefarious purposes, it’s the U.S. government. Cash is the currency used by the government to pay off its foreign “associates.” For instance, the Obama administration flew more than $400 million in cash to Iran, reportedly as part of a financial settlement with the country. Critics claim the money was ransom paid for the return of American hostages. And then there was the $12 billion in shrink-wrapped $100 bills that the U.S. flew to Iraq only to claim it had no record of what happened to the money. It just disappeared, we were told. So when government economists tell you that two-thirds of all $100 bills in circulation are overseas—more than half a trillion dollars’ worth—it’s a pretty good bet that the government played a significant part in their export.
Sixth, this drive to do away with cash is part of a larger global trend driven by international financial institutions and the United Nations that is transforming nations of all sizes, from the smallest nation to the biggest, most advanced economies.
Finally, short of returning to a pre-technological, Luddite age, there’s really no way to pull this horse back now that it’s left the gate. While doing so is near impossible, it would also mean doing without the many conveniences and advantages that are the better angels, if you will, of technology’s totalitarian tendencies: the internet, medical advances, etc.
To our detriment, we have virtually no control over who accesses our private information, how it is stored, or how it is used. Whether we ever had much control remains up for debate. However, in terms of our bargaining power over digital privacy rights, we have been reduced to a pitiful, unenviable position in which we can only hope and trust that those in power will treat our information with respect.
Clearly, as I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, we have come full circle, back to a pre-revolutionary era of taxation without any real representation.

Where Will the Food Come From?
Bruce Fenton, Guest
Waking Times
The chaos and Nth order effects of the virus and the reaction to it have created risks in all aspects of life. Food is such a crucial need that we must examine any risks related to it. We are told that there is plenty of food, but what does that mean? US food supply, like all other aspects of our society is both complex and fragile. While we have the capability of producing enough food to feed the country, we need to also be able to deliver it and produce it in a manner that makes it usable.
Normally, about half of all U.S. food and agricultural products end up in direct to consumer markets including supermarkets, grocery and retail stores. The other half is purchased and distributed by the wholesale commercial and food service sector. This includes restaurants, schools, institutions, and the hospitality industry (including hotels, resorts, cruise ships, all primarily driven by tourism). The shut-down of many non-essential businesses, the closure of schools and universities and the issuance of stay-at-home orders and travel bans in states across the country have caused the demand for food products normally distributed through the commercial supply chain to come to a grinding halt. At the same time, the demand for food products in the grocery/retail sector has soared with some distribution warehouses running at 200% to 500% their average capacity for this time of year[1]. This extreme shift in demand and our inability to swiftly adapt our established distribution and supply chains to it is what currently poses the greatest threat to the food supply in the U.S.
We also cannot rely on imports. Increased restrictions, geopolitical tensions and the competing demands of their own shutdowns and workforce issues makes it difficult to depend on previously reliable food importers. There are also significant processing business which could be further interrupted. Surprisingly a significant amount of US seafood and other food is sent to China for processing and then sent back.
Initial bouts of flash preparedness buying have led consumers to flock to the grocery stores to buy up staples and supplies in bulk. In turn, the empty shelves have further fueled concerns of food shortages. Like the financial system, what appears sound on the surface to some has serious underlying weaknesses. Several significant, underlying short- and long-term issues related to the supply of U.S. food and agriculture products remain.
1) Independent supply chains for commercial and retail industries
The supply chains that distribute food to the commercial sector and the supply chains that supply retail/grocery sector function independently from one another and are not interchangeable under today’s system. They utilize different processors, packers, distributors, warehousing, shipping and packaging systems and procedures and are subject to different industry regulations. Because of this, it is not possible to simply redirect the food products normally channeled through the commercial sector to the retail sector.
Food products normally intended for commercial use would have to be processed, packaged, and distributed according to standards and regulations set for retail in order to be properly funneled through that channel. (Reuters) “Paul Sproule, a potato farmer in North Dakota, said processors who churn out French fries and other restaurant products have stopped buying. Most can’t pivot to retail because they don’t have customer-facing packaging or relationships with stores for shelf space.”[2] Making these sorts of changes to processing and packaging systems take time and are costly, often requiring new or modified equipment and machinery.
2) Shortage of agricultural and food service workers
In addition to the logistical challenges faced in rerouting food to retail markets, our food system is simultaneously facing increasing issues with declining numbers of agricultural and food service workers. U.S. farms depend on foreign labor and migrant workers, who filled more than a quarter-million agriculture jobs in the U.S. last year.[3] Border closures, stricter entry policies, and delays in visa processing are all impeding the entry of the workforce needed to meet seasonal harvest deadlines. U.S. based farmers and producers are already seeing the effects of these shortages as their unpicked crops begin to spoil in the fields. Georgia’s commissioner of agriculture Gary Black expressed similar concerns, “It is a reality. If there are not workers, there will be crops that will go unharvested, and that has a ripple effect throughout this economy, and it will affect the consumers of this nation”.[4] While many producers claim they would opt to fill these jobs with domestic workers, the reality is there aren’t anywhere near enough people willing to work under these jobs, under the same conditions.
We are also seeing a decline in the number of agricultural and food service workers currently employed in the U.S., due to the coronavirus pandemic. These workers are at a particularly high-risk of contracting the virus due to proximity to and close interaction with others in their work environments as well as having little to no access to healthcare. Many of these migrant workers also live together in close quarters and share transportation to and from the fields each day further increasing the likelihood of transmission.
Similarly, workforce shortages are being seen in the meatpacking industries where fewer and fewer employees are showing up each day due to fears of contracting the virus in close contact working conditions.[5] This is causing production to slow which will inevitably lead to increase waste of meat products, due to the inability to simply halt production. “There’s a concern for pork producers because they just can’t turn their buildings on or off like you can an assembly line,” he added. From the time sows give birth to slaughter, “it’s a nine-month process that started nine months ago. Pigs continue to be born every day, whether they keep the whole capacity.”[6]
What action can be taken on large-scale/industry and regulation level?
1- Eliminate regulations harming food supply and distribution. There is an immediate need for adaptations in regulation and policy to promote and accommodate necessary shifts from wholesale to retail supply chains. There needs to be an immediate elimination of all rules and regulations that govern trucking, imports, agricultural and work visas, labeling requirements for retail goods. Any rules and regulations preventing restaurants from selling groceries must be eliminated. Rules governing home based food preparation must also be eliminated or reduced. Food, safety and health officials must adapt and adjust to our changed world and the emergency we are in. The priority must be securing and increasing food supply options.
2- Adaptation by farmers, distributor, manufacturers, grocers and restaurants. Manufacturers need to find ways to adapt current systems and supply chains to re-route food supplies normally intended for commercial/wholesale distribution to the retail and grocery sector. This includes the employment of food service workers from sectors that normally serve wholesale to relieve workforce shortages in the food retail industry. Adjustments must also be made to warehousing, logistics, and purchasing processes to meet consumer facing market standards. Restaurant owners should be working hard to maintain my past food purchase levels by converting some business to groceries/ ready made grocery bags that customers can buy in bulk.
3- Safe logistics. Agricultural employers and organizations can take more proactive steps to help protect farm workers with safe standards, equipment and designing farm work to allow for distancing through shifts, physically spreading people out and other methods.
What action can be taken on a local/regional level by small businesses, local producers and farms, and consumers?
1- Smaller food retailers such as bakeries, farm markets, and cafés can help by sourcing, stocking, and offering perishable food products that have been running short at grocery stores. Many of these establishments have begun to offer more grocery products along with prepared meals and baked goods. Many small businesses are also successfully adapting by offering more delivery capabilities and by leveraging improved social media marketing and online ordering systems.
2- Small and local farms can also leverage opportunities to sell directly to consumers in their local communities. Some small farms are adapting by selling fresh produce and perishable foods in their local communities by offering no-touch deliveries and drive through pick-ups. Some local farmers are even partnering with each other to offer regular boxed deliveries that contain a variety of goods including, meats, eggs, produce, dairy products, and even baked goods all sourced from local farms and businesses. [7]
3- Restaurants should adapt to grocery sales, sales of bulk ready-made meals and should adapt to radically different pricing structures. Mid to high end restaurants should adapt to lower price bulk food. Margins will be significantly lower but if done right sales volume could increase. Some estimates say 70% of restaurants could go out of business. Survive however you can, be it deliveries, groceries or low cost bulk meal preparation.
What can consumers do?
1- Stock up on food as much as possible, buy canned goods, rice, beans, potatoes and other easy to store foods. Given the level of emergency and uncertainty we are in now 6–12 months of food for your family is reasonable. Do the math to calculate how much you need. As many have seen in recent weeks, you may eat more than you realize, especially with a family. If you are financially able, getting even more food is worthwhile. If you don’t use it you can always sell or give away or donate it. Unfortunately the jobs and financial crisis will likely increase demand for food among the needy for a year or more.
2- Support the same local restaurants they normally would by ordering takeout when possible. Many communities are compiling lists of local businesses that are still open for takeout. These businesses have been some of the most effected by the shift in demand and by ordering takeout consumers can help provide some income to the restaurants, while also encouraging food resources to flow through the existing commercial supply chains.
3- Buy local, and when possible, directly from farmers, fishers etc. who are no longer able to sell to restaurant and local and regional farmers markets. Check to see if your local community has Facebook pages and/or groups which are helping to spread the word about what local food products are available from local farms and fishermen in your area. Because of how quickly local producers have had to adapt, many do not yet have online ordering systems and up to date websites, but many have set up social media pages where they are able to easily reach a large local audience, post daily what they have available, and even coordinate orders.[8]

Gold Mining Threatens Indigenous Forests in the Brazilian Amazon
John C. Cannon, Mongabay
Waking Times
Illegal gold mining led to deforestation of thousands of hectares of forests inside indigenous reserves in the Brazilian Amazon in 2019, according to new satellite image analysis published April 8 by the Monitoring of the Andean Amazon Project (MAAP). Mongabay had exclusive access to the report prior to its release.
MAAP, a program of the organization Amazon Conservation, has documented more than 102 square kilometers (40 square miles) of mining-linked deforestation in the indigenous reserves of Kayapó, Munduruku and Yanomami. These indigenous lands are all officially demarcated and supposed to be protected from industrial activity by the Brazilian Constitution.
In Peru, MAAP previously tracked hundreds of hectares of lost forest at the hands of illegal miners in the region of Madre de Dios, bordering Brazil and Bolivia. Now, for the first time, it has found a similar rate of deforestation in Brazil’s section of the Amazon, and the evidence shows that it’s been going on for several years.
“This is the closest thing that we’ve seen to Peru,” Matt Finer, an ecologist and the director of MAAP, said in an interview. In other parts of the Amazon, he said, mining hasn’t caused the loss of forest on that scale, though nefarious environmental effects such as mercury contamination of water sources typically come in tow.
Losses of around 20 km2 (7.7 mi2) of mining-related deforestation were found in the Kayapó and Munduruku reserves in 2019; in the Yanomami reserve, it reached 5 km2 (1.9 mi2). MAAP combined its analysis of satellite images down to a resolution of 3 meters (10 feet) with news reports and maps of gold mining areas across the Amazon compiled by the Brazilian organization RAISG to get a “real-world snapshot” of these incursions.
Finer said he and his colleagues had been getting reports of a rush of miners into the Yanomami reserve — up to 10,000 by the count of the human rights NGO Survival International, which holds President Jair Bolsonaro and his policies responsible for the loss of forest, as well as mercury pollution, societal disruption and the introduction of diseases such as malaria that result from mining. They say his rhetoric, in favor of developing the Amazon, has emboldened would-be miners, both legal and illegal.
“[M]any of their territories are being invaded and stolen for logging, mining and agribusiness, with the encouragement of President Bolsonaro, who has virtually declared war on Brazil’s indigenous peoples,” campaigner Sarah Shenker said in a statement.
Survival International also recently warned of the danger that miners could bring the global COVID-19 pandemic to uncontacted peoples in Brazil, with the potential to “wipe out whole peoples.” On April 1, Brazil’s health ministry confirmed the first case of the disease in a member of Brazil’s indigenous communities in the state of Amazonas, and 26 other people are being monitored after they came into contact with a doctor who has tested positive for COVID-19.
“Where invaders are present, coronavirus could wipe out whole peoples,” Shenker said. “It’s a matter of life and death.”
Mongabay reported in February that nearly 3,800 requests had been submitted to the Brazilian government for mining-related activities inside indigenous territories or protected areas. Another investigation found that the mining giant Anglo American has applied for almost 300 such licenses in indigenous territories.
In February, Antonio Oviedo of the Brazilian NGO Socio-Environmental Institute told Mongabay that his research revealed an 80% uptick in deforestation within indigenous territories in 2019 compared with 2018. Oviedo similarly sees Bolsonaro, who took office at the start of 2019, as the catalyst for that rise.
“Whenever he makes statements against the environmental agencies responsible for oversight, the deforestation statistics automatically jump the very same month,” Oviedo said. “The deforestation is a clear indicator of the impact the policies are having.”
Controversial mining bill
Though mining is still illegal in indigenous reserves under Brazilian law, Bolsonaro has introduced a bill that would allow mining, oil and gas extraction and other uses of these lands, justified partly on the grounds that it will bring development to indigenous peoples.
But Marcio Santilli, a former head of FUNAI, the Brazilian government’s indigenous rights agency, disagrees. Instead of improving their lives, he said in a February interview with Mongabay, the proposed law, which is currently awaiting a postponed vote in Brazil’s Congress, would “guarantee the exploitation by third parties of their natural resources.”
Deforestation related to mining on indigenous lands, however, began before Bolsonaro took office in January 2019, MAAP researchers found, pointing to tracked forest loss as a result of gold mining back to 2017. “These problems didn’t come out of nowhere,” Finer said.
And while MAAP’s analysis does show a steady increase in the three reserves they examined — including a more than 100% jump between 2018 and 2019 in Munduruku — it also revealed a growing trend.
Still, the specter of a bill legalizing the incursions of miners into indigenous lands looms, threatening to push deforestation rates even higher as a result of the thrum of new extractive industries within what have been constitutionally protected indigenous lands for decades.
“You can imagine — if it was more formalized — the deforestation that could quickly unfold,” Finer said.

For a long time, many experts believed that there was no sound in space because it is a vacuum, but sound does exist in the form of electromagnetic vibrations, you just need the right tools to be able to hear it. NASA scientists with the Van Allen Probes mission were able to record these sounds, and have given them different classifications.
To make the recordings, scientists used the “Waves instrument,” which is part of the Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science project, also known as EMFISIS. EMFISIS is an instrument suite on the Van Allen Probes, and it is sensitive to both electric and magnetic waves.
Accord to the NASA blog, “It probes them with a trio of electric sensors as well as three search coil magnetometers, which look for changes in the magnetic field. All instruments were specifically designed to be highly sensitive while using the least amount of power possible.”
Scientists were recording these waves because they want to learn more about how space works.
“These plasma waves knock about high-energy electrons speeding around Earth. Some of those freed electrons spiral earthward, where they interact with our upper atmosphere, causing auroras, though others can pose a danger to spacecraft or telecommunications, which can be damaged by their powerful radiation,” according to NASA.
Below are some of the descriptions that NASA gave for the sounds:
Juno Captures the “Roar” of Jupiter: NASA’s Juno spacecraft has crossed the boundary of Jupiter’s immense magnetic field. Juno’s Waves instrument recorded the encounter with the bow shock over the course of about two hours on June 24th, 2016.
Plasma Waves: Plasma waves, like the roaring ocean surf, create a rhythmic cacophony that, with the EMFISIS instrument aboard NASA’s Van Allen Probes, we can hear across space.
Sounds of a Comet Encounter: During its February 14th, 2011, flyby of comet Tempel 1, an instrument on the protective shield on NASA’s Stardust spacecraft was pelted by dust particles and small rocks, as can be heard in this audio track.
If you are into that sort of thing, you can also purchase entire recordings like this from Amazon, but they are also available widely on streaming services like SoundCloud as well.
