In a new video currently circulating online, an 18-year-old named Jojo is recorded by his dad as he opened his first paycheck and saw how much money was taken out for taxes.
“Jojo, how’s it feel openin’ up this first check, man?” his father asked at the beginning of the recording. Jojo seemed to be shy about his father recording, as most 18-year-olds would. “Oh, c’mon, Papa, let me just open it up,” he replied.
There is a moment of joy when he opens his paycheck and shows the camera, but as soon as he starts to read how much he actually got paid after taxes, his expression began to change.
When he began to look distraught, his father asked, “Why your face like that, Jojo? Were you expecting more?” Another young man in the car tried to explain, “They took out taxes, Jo,” adding, “welcome to the world.” Jojo became so upset that he left the car for a moment. “Jojo, where you goin’?” his father asked. After collecting his thoughts, Jojo hops back into the car and said, “They just finessed me!”
Jojo is still trying to understand what happened.
“Okay, so they took out employee Medicare, and they took out your Social Security employment. But I got my Social Security number!” he said. One of the other men in the car explained, “No, you always have to pay taxes… you have to pay taxes every time you get paid.” “We have to explain to you how this works. Look, you earned $282, but they still had to take out $28.42 in taxes, which is why you have this much to spend.” Jojo’s dad explained. “So, if I earned that, why can’t I get it?” Jojo asked, and his question is perfectly valid.
Since the government is allowed to extract money from the people by force, this guarantees they will have funds for any project they want, even if those projects are unpopular with taxpayers.

The world has been watching footage of the massive explosion in Beirut’s main city port yesterday, causing widespread speculation as to whether or not this was a covert military operation employing some new generation of tactical small-yield nuclear weapons.
So far, all indications seem to be that this blast was the result of fatal mishandling of hazardous materials, and no faction has stepped up to take responsibility for this as an attack.
The videos are down right terrifying.

The official story is that a fire in a fireworks factory ignited a six year old cache of ammonium nitrate that was improperly stored in the area, causing the massive blast. In this video, you can clearly see fireworks:

The blast was utterly devastating, and others are convinced this was a nuclear weapon. We don’t think so, but here are both sides.
Watch the blast in the video. Similar to a tactical nuke… I live 50km away from Beirut and my house shook from the blast wave… Armageddon sceneries within 10 km diameter from the blast. pic.twitter.com/PdSDddZlQ6 — Elias P. ELIAS (@EliasPELIAS1) August 4, 2020
While people try to guess what could have really happened, it’s important to remember that small-yield nukes have been developed and are part of the next generation of warfare. NPR reported in January that new low-yield nukes were already being deployed on American submarines:
“The U.S. has begun deploying a new type of low-yield nuclear warhead aboard some ballistic missile submarines, according to a report by an independent monitor. When the USS Tennessee, an Ohio-class submarine, went on patrol in the final weeks of 2019, it carried “one or two” of the new weapons, according to a post by the Federation of American Scientists.” [Source]
In January of 2019, The Guardian reported on the Pentagon’s announcement that new warheads were being combat-readied as part of Trump’s ‘nuclear posture review.’
“The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) announced in an email it had started manufacturing the weapon at its Pantex nuclear weapons plant in Texas, as ordered by Donald Trump’s nuclear posture review (NPR) last year… The new weapon, the W76-2, is a modification of the existing Trident warhead. Stephen Young, a senior Washington representative of the Union of Concerned Scientists, said its yield had most likely been cut by taking away one stage from the original two-stage, W76 thermonuclear device. “As best we can tell, the only requirement is to replace the existing secondary, or second stage, with a dummy version, which is what they do every time they test fly a missile,” Young said, adding that the amount of tritium, a hydrogen isotope, may also be adjusted. The result would be to reduce its explosive power from 100 kilotons of TNT, to about five – approximately a third of the force of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. [Source]
To many experts, the explosion in Beirut yesterday does not appear to be a weapon, never-the-less, because low-yield nukes do exist and are deployed, it will only be a matter of time before they are used on someone.
In fact, there are several instances in recent years that many believe are examples of low-yield nukes being used in conflicts in the Middle East in Yemen and Syria.
Footage of these two events is, again, terrifying. The scale and scope of the blasts is utterly incomprehensible, and in neither of these situations has there been an admission by any warring factions of the use of tactical nukes. The official story on these is that both were massive conventional bombs.
This one from Homs Syria in 2013.
And this one from Yemen in 2015.
It is believed by some that low-yield tactical nukes are being used in the Middle East, although no regime is willing to admit to it. Instead, we are left to speculate, comparing footage of blasts from different situations. We do know that the US, Russia, China, Israel and Saudi Arabia are all nuclear powers, and given the current state of arms proliferation and international sales, who knows what these forces have in their arsenals?
Finally, a look at a Russian detonation in August of 2019 offers a blast that most closely resembles the Beirut explosion, and many believe the Russian example is a low-yield nuclear weapon. The official story on this is that a weapons depot accidentally blew up, similar to the story out of Beirut. The two explosions are quite similar when you look at the initial blast and cloud, the secondary massive blast, and the enormous shockwave that followed.

For people who reside in the West, few countries are as fascinating as Japan. With its unique and striking blend of modernity and ancient culture, natural beauty and urbanism, the country has long beguiled foreigners.
From its storied feudal traditions to its contemporary quirks, Japan is a nation that has been thoroughly romanticized and idealized in the Western imagination.
However, beyond the superficial and orientalist mythology about the so-called “Land of the Rising Sun,” Japan is a captivating and multifaceted culture quite unlike others.
It’s a diverse country where traditions dating back millennia stand strong while fads and trends come and go, and its cutting-edge technological development hasn’t stamped out the time-honored customs of the East Asian nation.
One well-known Japanese art form that has fascinated the West is bonsai, which is the technique of producing tiny trees that mimic the attributes of fully-grown trees. Yet bonsai trees are only the tip of the iceberg of Japanese horticultural and arbor mastery.
Another striking example is daisugi, a technique that shares certain features of the art of bonsai but yields vastly different results.
http://youtu.be/YDXR_qU2UmM
The forestry technique dates back to the 14th century and focuses on the Kitayama cedar tree or kitayama sugi, which densely populate the verdant and picturesque mountains of Northern Kyoto.
The wood from these immaculate cedars has long been a staple of Japanese architecture, from traditional wood roofs and beams to the famous tea rooms of Kyoto.
What makes the daisugi technique so compelling, however, is the fact that Kitayama cedars stand completely straight and don’t have the knots of your typical wild trees.
This is because the daisugi technique, like bonsai, involves the forester heavily pruning the mother tree which allows narrow saplings to shoot upwards.
What results from these striking and ancient trees is a distinct Japanese cedar that is squat and knotted up like a candelabra and is teeming with smaller trees – almost like a forest on top of a large cedar tree.
But it wasn't all for show: the lumber produced in this method is 140% as flexible as standard cedar and 200% as dense/strong, in other words it was absolutely perfect for rafters and roof timber where aesthetics called for slender yet typhoon resistant perfectly straight lumber. pic.twitter.com/7lKhBHbdvn — Wrath Of Gnon (@wrathofgnon) April 15, 2020
The method makes exceptional sense due to the absence of flat land in the Kitayama region, which allowed arborists to use this method to grow and harvest a large amount of wood in an area where suitable land is extremely scarce.
This also lets local masters of arboriculture harvest the cherished daisugi cedar every twenty years while the base tree lasts centuries.
Sustainable forestry: lumber without cutting down trees. Daisugi is a Japanese forestry technique where specially planted cedar trees are pruned heavily (think of it as giant bonsai) to produce "shoots" that become perfectly uniform, straight and completely knot free lumber. pic.twitter.com/5ULYOmCkLp — Wrath Of Gnon (@wrathofgnon) April 15, 2020
Over the generations, woodcutters harvested mature lumber from these trees while promoting newer shoots, resulting in gorgeous and strange cedars that look wholly unique.
However, in recent centuries the demand for daisugi cedar has waned as new architectural and building techniques became less reliant on lumber.
Since then, the cedars have grown on their own, creating an amazing display of enormous trunks and gnarled limbs that cover Kyoto’s northern hillscape.
The result is an almost otherworldly forest shaped by the economic needs of imperial Japan’s thriving ancient capital, which mastered nature in a sustainable manner that was also consistent with the aesthetic brilliance of Japanese culture.

‘The Coming War On China’ – Watch John Pilger’s Powerfully Relevant Documentary
Caitlin Johnstone, Guest
Waking Times
“The aim of this film is to break a silence: the United States and China may well be on the road to war, and nuclear war is no longer unthinkable,” Pilger says in his 2016 documentary The Coming War on China, which you can watch free on Youtube here or on Vimeo here. “In a few years China has become the world’s second-biggest economic power,” Pilger’s introduction continues. “The United States is the world’s biggest military power, with bases and missiles and ships covering every continent and every ocean. China is a threat to this dominance, says Washington. But who is the threat? This film is about shifting power, and great danger.”
As we’ve been discussing for years now, the relentless quest of the US-centralized empire-like power alliance for total world domination has put it on a collision course with the surging economic powerhouse of China which refuses to be absorbed into the imperial blob. The empire’s continued existence depends upon its ability to undermine China before it grows too powerful or the empire grows too weak to stop its ascent, at which point global hegemony becomes impossible and we are living in a truly multipolar world.
China has therefore always been the final boss fight in the global campaign of violence and domination by what Pilger calls the “empire which never speaks its name”. And the ramping up of anti-China narrative management by the US government indicates that we are being psychologically primed to accept this world-threatening confrontation, just as Pilger warned in 2016.
“The danger of confrontation grows by the day,” Pilger says.
The powerful film breaks down the way the USA has been encircling China with a “noose” of military bases since the Korean War, which all have massive amounts of military firepower, including nuclear firepower, pointed right at China’s cities. Pilger shows the psychopathic toll this has inflicted upon the people who live in the areas where the US war machine has set up shop in the Pacific, including an especially enraging segment on the use of Bikini Atoll natives as human guinea pigs to test the effects of nuclear radiation on people. Also deeply disturbing is the revelation of just how close the US came to launching nuclear warheads at China due to a miscommunication during the Cuban missile crisis.
The film describes China’s recent history and explains its climb in economic power which led us to this point, and the USA’s generations-long history of provocation and hostility toward its government. It also addresses the silly projection so many westerners harbor that if the US wasn’t bullying and slaughtering the world into compliance, China would take over doing the same.
The White House is launching a communications plan across multiple federal agencies that focuses on accusing Beijing of orchestrating a “cover-up” & creating a global pandemic, according to two US officials & a government cable obtained by The Daily Beast https://t.co/3Xjm08G2Mw — The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) March 21, 2020
Back in 2016 it was harder for people to see this escalation on the horizon, but now in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic we’re hearing a frantic, disproportionate amount of anti-China sentiment from the Trump administration and its supporters, in the same way we heard Russia hysteria amplified over the last three years by Trump’s enemies. Trump was politically pressured to dangerously escalate cold war tensions with Russia, and he’s now being politically incentivized to pass the blame for his administration’s spectacular failures in addressing this pandemic on to the Chinese government in a way which manufactures support for escalations on that front as well. Two different narratives, same agenda.
“The new president, Donald Trump, has a problem with China,” Pilger says at the end of the documentary. “The urgent question now is will Trump continue with the provocations revealed in this film and take us all to the edge of war?”
The answer to that question appears to be coalescing. It’s a good time for us all to watch this film.

Covering Up the Awakening – Massive Lockdown Protest in Berlin Downplayed and Demonized by MSM Get the latest Waking Times articles delivered to your inbox .

We ’ re at a crossroads at the moment , and most people are choosing to obedience to the emerging new order .
Here in the U.S. , the hysteria and fear is thick , palpable and ugly .
Just as Stanley Milgram demonstrated in his now famous social experiment , most people are turning against their fellow neighbors and countrymen and willfully posing as enforcers of the new normal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a cancer , eating away at the social fabric of our society , demanding that we find differences between ourselves and everyone else , and demanding that we lose ourselves in the collective madness .
The American spirit of individualism and personal liberty is being stamped out by peer pressure to conform and obey .
This isn ’ t how it ’ s supposed to be , though .
As a people , Americans have long been admired the world over for our supposed courage in defending liberty , but today we ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can ’ t seem to come together in any meaningful numbers .
The police state that has emerged around us has been so discouraging to real protest movements that we ’ ve even given up protesting against the never-ending wars .
We ’ ve become docile , domesticated , distracted , divided , dysfunctional and delusional .
We no longer oppose tyranny .
Time for someone else to carry the torch .
Last week in Germany , a massive crowd of people hit the streets to protest the lockdowns which are killing businesses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stress , loneliness and depression , all in the name of preventing the spread of a virus .
‘ Masks Make Us Slaves , ’ read one banner .
Mainstream media coverage of the event downplayed the size of the crowd .
The Guardian reported , “ Up to 20,000 demonstrated against restrictions , raising fears of a rise in infections , ” diminishing the crowd while also framing the demonstration as a threat to the fear-addled rule-followers .
ABC News reported , “ Thousands protest in Berlin against coronavirus restrictions , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ restrictions in Germany have drawn a variety of attendees , including conspiracy theorists and right-wing populists.
” This , of course , is an attempt to demonize the event and give the false impression that those who are concerned for their rights are subhuman .
The New York Times wants you to believe that all of these people are a danger to those who follow orders and go along to get along .
They said that 17,000 people marched , and insinuated that they are all somehow allied with Ne0Nazis .
Bollocks .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ their article , “ Thousands gather in Berlin to protest against Covid-19 restrictions.
” Their spin is that all of the people involved are from the far-right .
Say what ?
!
?
Can you read between the lines , people ?
The media is goading you to live in fear not only of a contentious virus , but of your fellow man .
The threat is being expanded to include not only the disease , but anyone who questions the official narrative about the disease .
READ : Senator and Former Minnesota @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Questioning Covid Death Certificates According to RT , “ 500,000 Germans apply to take part in Stuttgart lockdown protest , but police RESTRICT rally to 5,000 due to ‘ social distancing , ” which is a heck of a lot more people than what other news outlets reported .
The real story is that there were a lot more people at this demonstration than the MSM wants you to believe , and that the crowd was made up of people of all walks of life , not just racist Nazis who deserve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ estimates say that up to 1.3 million people were involved , with people arriving from all over Germany to participate .
Ben Swann destroys the mainstream narrative on this in the following video , diving into who these people were , and why they opposed the lockdown .
Ralph Smart also chimes in , reminding us that millions of people are waking up , and that the mass awakening is the one thing the powers-that-be fear most .
I hope you ’ re paying attention people .

Covering Up the Awakening – Massive Lockdown Protest in Berlin Downplayed and Demonized by MSM
Dylan Charles, Editor
Waking Times
We’re at a crossroads at the moment, and most people are choosing to obedience to the emerging new order. Here in the U.S., the hysteria and fear is thick, palpable and ugly. Just as Stanley Milgram demonstrated in his now famous social experiment, most people are turning against their fellow neighbors and countrymen and willfully posing as enforcers of the new normal.
The media in this nation is a cancer, eating away at the social fabric of our society, demanding that we find differences between ourselves and everyone else, and demanding that we lose ourselves in the collective madness. The American spirit of individualism and personal liberty is being stamped out by peer pressure to conform and obey. This isn’t how it’s supposed to be, though.
As a people, Americans have long been admired the world over for our supposed courage in defending liberty, but today we’re so fractured and confused that we can’t seem to come together in any meaningful numbers. The police state that has emerged around us has been so discouraging to real protest movements that we’ve even given up protesting against the never-ending wars. We’ve become docile, domesticated, distracted, divided, dysfunctional and delusional. We no longer oppose tyranny.
Time for someone else to carry the torch.
Last week in Germany, a massive crowd of people hit the streets to protest the lockdowns which are killing businesses, destroying families, and causing untold stress, loneliness and depression, all in the name of preventing the spread of a virus. ‘Masks Make Us Slaves,’ read one banner.
Protesters who came from across the country held up homemade signs with slogans like “Corona, false alarm,” “We are being forced to wear a muzzle,” “Natural defense instead of vaccination” and “We are the second wave.” [Source]
Mainstream media coverage of the event downplayed the size of the crowd. The Guardian reported, “Up to 20,000 demonstrated against restrictions, raising fears of a rise in infections,” diminishing the crowd while also framing the demonstration as a threat to the fear-addled rule-followers.
ABC News reported, “Thousands protest in Berlin against coronavirus restrictions,” then added, “Protests against anti-virus restrictions in Germany have drawn a variety of attendees, including conspiracy theorists and right-wing populists.” This, of course, is an attempt to demonize the event and give the false impression that those who are concerned for their rights are subhuman.
The New York Times wants you to believe that all of these people are a danger to those who follow orders and go along to get along. They said that 17,000 people marched, and insinuated that they are all somehow allied with Ne0Nazis. Bollocks.
This was the scene in Berlin, where an estimated 17,000 people defied social-distancing and mask requirements to join a protest supported by neo-Nazi groups, conspiracy theorists and others who said they were fed up with the restrictions. Read the latest. https://t.co/QFWyHTTMb0 pic.twitter.com/h9CuxYCERg — The New York Times (@nytimes) August 1, 2020
CNN took a jab as well in their article, “Thousands gather in Berlin to protest against Covid-19 restrictions.” Their spin is that all of the people involved are from the far-right. Say what?!?
“A large crowd of far-right groups gathered for a “sit-in” at Berlin’s iconic Brandenburg Gate on Saturday to protest against the German government’s coronavirus restrictions.
A march earlier Saturday that was criticized by police for not adhering to rules on social distancing and face masks was halted by organizers.” [ Source
Can you read between the lines, people? The media is goading you to live in fear not only of a contentious virus, but of your fellow man. The threat is being expanded to include not only the disease, but anyone who questions the official narrative about the disease.
According to RT, “500,000 Germans apply to take part in Stuttgart lockdown protest, but police RESTRICT rally to 5,000 due to ‘social distancing,” which is a heck of a lot more people than what other news outlets reported.
The real story is that there were a lot more people at this demonstration than the MSM wants you to believe, and that the crowd was made up of people of all walks of life, not just racist Nazis who deserve to be treated as less-than-human. Some estimates say that up to 1.3 million people were involved, with people arriving from all over Germany to participate.
“Now, most media doesn’t want to talk about this story at all, and if they do, they’re only referring to these massive numbers of people as conspiracy theorists.” -Ben Swann
Ben Swann destroys the mainstream narrative on this in the following video, diving into who these people were, and why they opposed the lockdown.
Ralph Smart also chimes in, reminding us that millions of people are waking up, and that the mass awakening is the one thing the powers-that-be fear most.
I hope you’re paying attention people. There is an awakening happening, and you are not alone. This is the global awakening, and it will be impossible to keep the lid on this for much longer.

For this first time ever, the Canadian government has approved patients to take psychedelic psilocybin mushrooms as a part of their end-of-life therapy. The therapy has been approved for four patients who will receive an exemption from the Canadian Drugs and Substances Act to take psychedelic mushrooms.
This is certainly a victory, but not all of the applicants who wanted to volunteer for this therapy were accepted, which means that the government is still being extremely strict on who they are giving exceptions to, and it isn’t likely that the average Canadian would be able to a legal exemption if they applied. Still, this probably won’t stop applicants who were denied from doing the substance on their own, illegally.
Thomas Hartle, one of the patients who were approved for psychedelic treatment, said that this is a step in the right direction.
“I would like to personally thank the Hon. Minister Hajdu and the team at the Office of Controlled Substances for the approval of my section 56 exemption. This is the positive result that is possible when good people show genuine compassion. I’m so grateful that I can move forward with the next step of healing,” Hartle says.
According to a press release from the nonprofit group “TheraPsil,” who helped organize the applications, there will be a stream of new applicants coming in the future.
Dr. Bruce Tobin, Founder and Chairman of TheraPsil, hopes that this is a turning point for psychedelic therapies in Canada.
“Although it has taken a long time we are impressed with their willingness to listen to patients who have not been heard and to shift focus and policy to accommodate their interests and protect their needs. We also thank the brave Canadian patients who have been public in their fight for psilocybin access, along with the honourable Canadian MPs who have demonstrated courage, standing up for patient rights,” Tobin said.
Over the past several years, researchers have conducted numerous studies aimed at treating PTSD with psychedelic substances. However, the laws against psychedelics have made it very difficult for scientists to conduct clinical trials.
There have been some trials to take place in the US in recent years, but the process has been very slow, and very few researchers are approved. Things are even more restrictive for researchers in the UK. To help address this problem, an organization called the Medical Psychedelics Working Group is starting to lobby for changes in the laws that will make it easier for researchers to conduct clinical trials in the UK.

Musk’s 5G Spy Satellite Megalomania
Julian Rose, Contributor
Waking Times
Keeping us preoccupied with a phony virus which was supposed to kill millions and landed-up causing no more deaths than the normal winter flu, sure was a useful way of directing attention away from the earthly and upward deployment of the 5G microwave weapon.
While billions were under home arrest in semi suffocation from airless apartments, ridiculous masks and insane social distancing, Mr. Elon Musk, megalomaniac extraordinaire, had hired Cape Canaveral and was enjoying his own private launch pad parties in celebration of his ‘Space X’ company blasting hundreds of 5G satellites into the ionosphere fifty miles above the Earth.
Multi billionaire Elon Musk likes to believe that smothering every last inch of the planet in a blanket of beamed toxic electromagnetic pulsed ‘arrays’, is exactly what we have all been praying for.
Mr. Musk claims to be the ‘inventor’ of the electric car – the forthcoming models of which just happen to need no drivers but lots of electricity – 5G electricity to be precise. Autonomous cars steered by 5G microwave beams with transmitters situated along every major road and street in the world.
Musk’s great ‘vision of the future’ is to marry his obscene wealth to the most advanced artificial intelligence technologies for the ultimate enslavement of humanity. He wears his vision just like obsessed Covid believers wear their obscene masks. Just like that other multi billionaire Bill Gates wears his vaccination death wish.
Multi millionaires have a way of smiling as they explain their dystopian visions of suffocated life on Earth. Their sad minds can only see the perfect algorithmic march of a super cyborg AI civilisation stretching out in front of them ad infinitum.
So when Mr. Musk, adored guru of ardent technophiles, tells us how his twenty thousand satellites are going to spray our planet with a perfect wall of 5G weaponised electromagnetic laser beams from satellites put into orbit in the delicate protective atmosphere of the ionosphere – we are supposed to fall on our knees and cry “Thank you, Mr Musk! We always believed a saviour would come at this time and rescue us from what remains of our deeply upsetting urge to live.”
Elon Musk and fellow 5G satellite corporation owners and believers, have been ‘on the money’ almost from the day they were born. But once on the roller coaster of what constitutes ultimate ‘success’, their ambition – rather than being slated – simply wants more of the same. And when it gets that, it then wants an even more grandiose expression of its unquenchable desire for godliness.
Musk, and his techno-cronies, want absolute control of surveillance operations on planet Earth. Gates wants absolute control over population numbers. The two combine to produce a marriage from hell.
Arthur Fairstenberg explains in his most recent circular ‘Putting the Earth in a High Speed Computer’ “The threat to life comes from the fact that all these satellites are located in the ionosphere. The ionosphere is a source of high voltage that controls the global electric circuit, which in turn provides the energy of life.” He explains further, “Every living thing is part of this circuit. It provides us with energy for life and information that organises our bodies. If you pollute this circuit with billions of digital pulsations, you will destroy all life.”
Those who feel powerless to put an end to the reign of megalomaniacs who set out to destroy our common home with complete impunity, must now cease to accept this as a reason to do nothing other than wallow in their own sense of tragedy. Man and nature are one. A tragedy in one is a tragedy in both.
There are initiatives we can and must take that will play their part in putting an end to this nightmare and they should start immediately by using the law courts in order to directly challenge the global purveyors of destruction.
Further actions of an indirect nature can be equally valuable. In this particular case, abandoning your cell phone is the number one action to be undertaken by individuals honest enough to act on what they know to be necessary. Like everything else in the world of commerce, ceasing to buy-in to the offending product, destroys the industry that produces it.
A steady decline in the market for the latest cell phone will do more than anything else to prevent the domination of near space by weapons of mass radiation destruction. asphyxiating
All aspects of modulated WiFi radiation emitted by the EM towers and smart grids asphyxiating human and planetary life today must, for the sake of the species, be put an end to without delay.
If we are to come through this period of unprecedented top-down technophobic deception and manipulation, we will only do so because we saw fit to challenge its manifestations face to face, at every opportunity possible.
Giving-up one’s latest toxic toy must be first on the list of contributions to preventing the outright destruction of the great cyclical electrical circuit which supports all life on Earth.
As Arthur Fairstenberg states:
“There is no more important task on Earth right now – not climate change, not deforestation, not plastics in the ocean, and not stopping 5G on the ground. None of that will matter if Space X is allowed to go forward with Starlink.”

COVID Case Numbers Far Lower Than Claimed
Jon Rappoport, Guest
Waking Times
Casablanca (1942):
“I am shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here.” “Your winnings, sir.” “Oh, thank you very much.”
“We’ve checked your equipment, and we believe you’ll be safe, even though you’re stepping into an alien environment. Remember, the denizens you’ll encounter are congenital tricksters. They live on lies. They eat them. They broadcast them. They worship them in their Hades.” (My notes for “The Underground”)
So once again, we don hazmat suits and enter the mad, mad world of basic COVID lies. For purposes of argument only, we assume a new coronavirus was actually discovered, the diagnostic test is meaningful, and case numbers are also meaningful.
Within that mad world, the amount of fraud is still immense.
As I’ve documented, all sorts of case-number cons are running loose. Little, medium, and large cons. Entering “COVID” on all test results from labs. Oops. Computer error. The PCR test itself spits out false-positives because it lights up like a Christmas tree when it encounters various irrelevant germs. And so forth and so on.
But here is a superhighway version of fake number counting. By definition. Written in stone. Institutionalized. From the twinkle-toe mavens at the CDC, home of numbers, house of cards. Read on.
The revelatory reference is: Children’s Health Defense, July 24, “If COVID Fatalities Were 90.2% Lower, How Would You Feel About Schools Reopening?” By H. Ealy, M. McEvoy, M. Sava, S. Gupta, D. Chong, D. White, J. Nowicki, P. Anderson. “Had the CDC used its industry standard, Medical Examiners’ and Coroners’ Handbook on Death Registration and Fetal Death Reporting Revision 2003, as it has for all other causes of death for the last 17 years, the COVID-19 fatality count would be approximately 90.2% lower than it currently is.”
The article is somewhat complex. It should be studied carefully. Here is my main takeaway:
The special CDC guidelines for labeling patients “COVID” are absurd. These rules open the door to falsely inflating case and death numbers. This is more than fiddling with statistics. It’s an institutional and official invitation to create fake cases. Gigantic numbers of them.
The Children’s Health Defense article presents the April 2020 CDC guidelines for diagnosing COVID. There are five sets of criteria presented. Grit your teeth and study this CDC web of deceit:
“April 14th, 2020 – CDC Adopts CSTE Interim-20-ID-01 Title: Standardized surveillance case definition and national notification for 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) VII. Case Definition for Case Classification 1. Narrative: Description of criteria to determine how a case should be classified. A1. Clinical Criteria At least two of the following symptoms: * fever (measured or subjective), chills, rigors, myalgia, headache, sore throat, new olfactory and taste disorder(s) OR
* At least one of the following symptoms: cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing OR
* Severe respiratory illness with at least one of the following:
* * Clinical or radiographic evidence of pneumonia, or
* * Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). AND
* * No alternative more likely diagnosis A2. Laboratory Criteria Laboratory evidence using a method approved or authorized by the FDA or designated authority: Confirmatory laboratory evidence: * Detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in a clinical specimen using a molecular amplification detection test Presumptive laboratory evidence: * Detection of specific antigen in a clinical specimen
* Detection of specific antibody in serum, plasma, or whole blood indicative of a new or recent infection (note1) (note1) serologic methods for diagnosis are currently being defined A3. Epidemiologic Linkage One or more of the following exposures in the 14 days before onset of symptoms: * Close contact (note2) with a confirmed or probable case of COVID-19 disease; or
* Close contact (note2) with a person with:
* * clinically compatible illness AND
* * linkage to a confirmed case of COVID-19 disease.
* Travel to or residence in an area with sustained, ongoing community transmission of SARS-CoV2.
* Member of a risk cohort as defined by public health authorities during an outbreak. (note2) Close contact is defined as being within 6 feet for at least a period of 10 minutes to 30 minutes or more depending upon the exposure. In healthcare settings, this may be defined as exposures of greater than a few minutes or more. Data are insufficient to precisely define the duration of exposure that constitutes prolonged exposure and thus a close contact. A4. Vital Records Criteria A death certificate that lists COVID-19 disease or SARS-CoV-2 as a cause of death or a significant condition contributing to death. A5. Case Classifications Confirmed: * Meets confirmatory laboratory evidence. Probable: * Meets clinical criteria AND epidemiologic evidence with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID-19.
* Meets presumptive laboratory evidence AND either clinical criteria OR epidemiologic evidence.
* Meets vital records criteria with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID19. 1. Criteria to distinguish a new case of this disease or condition from reports or notifications which should not be enumerated as a new case for surveillance * N/A until more virologic data are available”
If you waded through that CDC ball of fraud, you see how easy it is to work a deception in COVID case-counting and death-number counting.
For example: chills and fever, or cough, are sufficient to label a patient a probable case of “COVID, if he was also in contact with a “risk cohort,” as defined by public health authorities.
This means an elderly person living in a nursing home—the whole home would be a “risk cohort”—who coughs, or who has chills and fever, could be diagnosed, with no test, as a probable case of COVID.
The reason for the hoax is obvious. Medical dictators must squeeze out every possible number they can, by any means, to justify their rampant economic and, thus, human destruction.
The lockdowns and shutdowns have nothing to do with disease.
Also—case numbers sell vaccines, and selling vaccines is the CDC’s main business activity.
