Fast-Tracked COVID-19 Vaccine — What Could Go Wrong ?
Bill Gates — who illegally invests in the industries he gives charitable donations to and promotes a global public health agenda that benefits the companies he ’ s invested in — claims life can not go back to normal until we can vaccinate the global population against COVID-19 .
And , according to The Rockefeller Foundation ’ s white paper , “ National COVID-19 Testing Action Plan , ” privacy concerns “ must be set aside ” so that the infection status of every individual can be accessed and validated before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ office buildings , places of work , airports , concert and sport venues and more .
We ’ re currently being told that we “ must ” forgo our civil liberties because we might spread a virus to a potentially vulnerable individual .
To prevent deaths from occurring by people moving about freely , we ’ re told we have to stop living .
Yet every single flu season throughout history , people have moved about , spreading the infection around and facilitating the acquisition of natural herd immunity .
Undoubtedly , most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a cold , stomach bug or other influenza at any point in the past , have unwittingly spread the infection to others , some of which may have ended up with a serious case of illness and some of which may ultimately have died from it .
There is simply no way to prevent such a chain of events in perpetuity .
As noted by Attorney General William Barr in an April 21 , 2020 , interview with Hugh Hewitt , “ impingements on liberty ” were adopted “ for the limited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that is bending the curve .
We didn ’ t adopt them as the comprehensive way of dealing with this disease.

Still , people around the world are being effectively manipulated and brainwashed with carefully honed propaganda derived from massive behavioral surveillance , to put life on hold until there ’ s a vaccine .
Of course , by then , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who wants to return to regular life .
To pull off this global plan of “ disease surveillance ” ( which will eventually be tied to digital finance and identification schemes that are also in the works ) , those advocating for a “ new normal ” need a vaccine , and they need it fast , while fears are still dominating the news .
Safety testing for vaccines typically leaves much to be desired to begin with , but when it comes to fast-tracked pandemic vaccines , safety testing is accelerated and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine may in fact be the most fast-tracked vaccine ever created in history , which necessitates the elimination of required safety testing steps , such as animal testing .
May 5 , 2020 , The New York Times reported that Pfizer , in collaboration with BioNTech , was scheduled to begin human trials of a COVID-19 vaccine on May 11 , 2020 in the U.S .
If successful , the vaccine could be released under an FDA-approved Emergency Use Authorization ( EUA ) as early as September 2020 — an unheard-of timeframe for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have announced vaccine candidates will be ready in September as well — far sooner than the original 18 months to two years that Gates , Fauci and other authorities initially predicted at the beginning of this pandemic .
April 23 , 2020 , a dozen healthy German volunteers , aged 18 to 55 , received Pfizer ’ s vaccine candidate , known only as BNT162 .
That trial is expected to eventually be expanded to 200 .
Why the elderly , who are the most vulnerable to COVID-19 complications , would be excluded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in light of the paradoxical immune enhancement that coronavirus vaccines are known for .
( l ’ ll cover that in a later section . )
The U.S. trial will include 360 healthy volunteers in the first stage , and as many as 8,000 in the second stage .
Volunteers will be divided into four groups , each group receiving one of four variations of the vaccine .
The trial is being conducted at New York University ’ s Grossman School of Medicine , the University of Maryland School of Medicine , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cincinnati Children ’ s Hospital Medical Center .
COVID-19 Vaccine Will Be Unlike Any Other Like Moderna and several other competitors , the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is using messenger RNA ( mRNA ) rather than live or attenuated ( inactivated ) viruses grown in animal cells .
Among the vaccine candidates are ones containing uridine-containing mRNA ( uRNA ) , nucleoside-modified mRNA ( modRNA ) and self-amplifying mRNA ( saRNA ) .
As explained by The New York Times : So , not only are we dealing with a novel virus , the mechanics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( some experts are now saying it appears to be a genetically engineered virus that attacks the blood more so than the lungs , for example ) , they ’ re also using a novel RNA-based vaccine that has never been used before .
What could possibly go wrong ?
In my view — just about everything .
It could turn into a global catastrophe the likes of which we ’ ve never experienced before .
In my recent interview above with Robert Kennedy Jr. , he summarized the history of coronavirus vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ epidemics had broken out , starting in early 2002 .
Two of those three epidemics were lab-created organisms .
Chinese , Americans and Europeans all started working on a coronavirus vaccine and around 2012 , there were some 30 promising candidates .
As explained by Kennedy , the four best vaccine candidates were then given to ferrets , which are the closest analogue to human lung infections .
Kennedy explained what happened next : The Cause Behind Paradoxical Immune Enhancement What could possibly account for this perplexing outcome ?
Why did the ferrets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even though they had a robust antibody response to the vaccine ?
As explained by Kennedy , after looking into the matter further , researchers in 2012 discovered that coronaviruses produce not just one but two different types of antibodies — neutralizing antibodies that fight the infection , and binding antibodies ( also known as nonneutralizing antibodies ) that can not prevent viral infection .
Incapable of preventing viral infection , binding antibodies can instead trigger a “ paradoxical immune response , ” or “ paradoxical immune enhancement.
” “ What that means @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get the disease , and then it makes the disease much , much worse , ” Kennedy said , adding : Additionally , in my interview with Dr. Meryl Nass that will run May 24 , 2020 , she notes that Ralph Barric from the University of North Carolina — who collaborated extensively with Shi Zhengli from the Wuhan Institute of Virology , and who is widely noted as one , if not the leading coronavirus virologist in the world — predicted that the vaccine would be an abysmal failure in the elderly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the COVID-19 vaccines currently in the running are using mRNA to instruct your cells to make the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein ( S protein ) , in other words , the glycoprotein that attaches to the ACE2 receptor of the cell .
This is the first stage of the two-stage process viruses use to gain entry into cells .
The idea is that by creating the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein , your immune system will commence production of antibodies , without making you sick in the process .
But are they in fact checking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this process will produce ?
Will injecting mRNA trigger the production of neutralizing antibodies or will it produce binding/nonneutralizing antibodies ?
Simply checking for antibody response may not suffice .
Fast-tracking vaccine development has considerable risks .
The best case scenario ( highly unlikely ) is that it will simply be ineffective ( which is typically the case for the seasonal influenza vaccine ) , or , far more likely , it will cause serious side effects ( as was the case with the fast-tracked 1976-1977 and 2009-2010 H1N1 swine flu vaccine ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rather than prevent it , as has been the case with previous coronavirus vaccines .
As reported by Reuters : Coming from a staunch pro-mandatory vaccination propagandist like Hotez , that ’ s really saying something .
Needless to say , COVID-19 vaccine makers will be indemnified from financial liability no matter how many casualties a fast-tracked vaccine might cause .
The H1N1 swine flu of 2009 was the most recent pandemic of note , and it ’ s well worth remembering what happened with the European fast-tracked vaccine .
Europe accelerated its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ large-scale human trials — a decision that turned out to have tragic consequences for an untold number of children and teens across Europe .
Over the next few years , the ASO3-adjuvanted swine flu vaccine Pandemrix ( used in Europe but not in the U.S. during 2009-2010 ) was causally linked to childhood narcolepsy , which abruptly skyrocketed in several countries .
Children and teens in Finland , the UK and Sweden were among the hardest hit .
Further analyses discerned a rise in narcolepsy among adults who received the vaccine as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as obvious as that in children and adolescents .
A 2019 study reported finding a “ novel association between Pandemrix-associated narcolepsy and the non-coding RNA gene GDNF-AS1 ” — a gene thought to regulate the production of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor or GDNF , a protein that plays an important role in neuronal survival .
They also confirmed a strong association between vaccine-induced narcolepsy and a certain haplotype , suggesting “ variation in genes related to immunity and neuronal survival may interact to increase the susceptibility to Pandemrix-induced narcolepsy in certain individuals.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s the research showing that the H1N1 swine flu vaccine was one of five inactivated vaccines that increased overall mortality , especially among girls .
The Pandemrix debacle should be instructive .
No one anticipated a flu vaccine to have genetic consequences , yet it did .
Now they ’ re proposing injecting mRNA to make every single cell in your body produce the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein .
How can we possibly think that the long-term ramifications of this will be clear by September ?
In my recent interview with Judy Mikovits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ biologist , she points out there ’ s a way to produce a much safer vaccine against COVID-19 .
Of course , her proposal will never see the light of day or ever be considered .
She proposes a novel vaccine for viruses like SARS-CoV-2 that involves alpha interferon , small amounts of the virus and peptide T , which would block the interaction of the virus and keep your T cells from getting infected .
Interferon Type 1 is a type of beneficial cytokine released by your body as one of its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In a nutshell , it interferes with viral replication .
It ’ s also been shown to suppress certain types of tumors .
As part of your immune system , it digests viral DNA and viral proteins in infected cells while simultaneously protecting noninfected neighboring cells .
Interferon alpha and beta also help regulate your immune response .
As noted in a 2018 paper on the dual nature of Type 1 and Type 2 interferons , “ both antiviral and immunomodulatory functions are critical during virus infection to not only limit virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ response , but to also negatively regulate this response to minimize tissue damage.
” Unlike conventional vaccines , which are mostly injected , this would be oral and only stimulate antibody humoral responses .
Her version would also cause innate cellular immunity from the T cells .
As Mikovits explained in my recent interview with her , featured in “ Could Retroviruses Play a Role in COVID-19 ?

Fast-Tracked COVID-19 Vaccine — What Could Go Wrong?
Dr. Mercola, Guest
Waking Times
Bill Gates — who illegally invests in the industries he gives charitable donations to and promotes a global public health agenda that benefits the companies he’s invested in — claims life cannot go back to normal until we can vaccinate the global population against COVID-19.
And, according to The Rockefeller Foundation’s white paper, “National COVID-19 Testing Action Plan,” privacy concerns “must be set aside” so that the infection status of every individual can be accessed and validated before permission is given to entering schools, office buildings, places of work, airports, concert and sport venues and more.
We’re currently being told that we “must” forgo our civil liberties because we might spread a virus to a potentially vulnerable individual. To prevent deaths from occurring by people moving about freely, we’re told we have to stop living.
Yet every single flu season throughout history, people have moved about, spreading the infection around and facilitating the acquisition of natural herd immunity. Undoubtedly, most people who have ever left their house with a cold, stomach bug or other influenza at any point in the past, have unwittingly spread the infection to others, some of which may have ended up with a serious case of illness and some of which may ultimately have died from it.
There is simply no way to prevent such a chain of events in perpetuity. As noted by Attorney General William Barr in an April 21, 2020, interview with Hugh Hewitt, “impingements on liberty” were adopted “for the limited purpose of slowing down the spread, that is bending the curve. We didn’t adopt them as the comprehensive way of dealing with this disease.”
Indeed, giving up our civil liberties in an effort to prevent all future deaths from infectious disease is profoundly misguided, and will not work in the long run.
Still, people around the world are being effectively manipulated and brainwashed with carefully honed propaganda derived from massive behavioral surveillance, to put life on hold until there’s a vaccine. Of course, by then, vaccination will likely become mandatory for anyone who wants to return to regular life.
To pull off this global plan of “disease surveillance” (which will eventually be tied to digital finance and identification schemes that are also in the works), those advocating for a “new normal” need a vaccine, and they need it fast, while fears are still dominating the news.
Vaccine Makers Race to Create COVID-19 Vaccine
Safety testing for vaccines typically leaves much to be desired to begin with, but when it comes to fast-tracked pandemic vaccines, safety testing is accelerated and becomes even more inadequate. The COVID-19 vaccine may in fact be the most fast-tracked vaccine ever created in history, which necessitates the elimination of required safety testing steps, such as animal testing.
May 5, 2020, The New York Times reported that Pfizer, in collaboration with BioNTech, was scheduled to begin human trials of a COVID-19 vaccine on May 11, 2020 in the U.S. If successful, the vaccine could be released under an FDA-approved Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) as early as September 2020 — an unheard-of timeframe for any vaccine development.
Other vaccine makers have announced vaccine candidates will be ready in September as well — far sooner than the original 18 months to two years that Gates, Fauci and other authorities initially predicted at the beginning of this pandemic.
April 23, 2020, a dozen healthy German volunteers, aged 18 to 55, received Pfizer’s vaccine candidate, known only as BNT162. That trial is expected to eventually be expanded to 200.
Why the elderly, who are the most vulnerable to COVID-19 complications, would be excluded is a question worth asking — especially in light of the paradoxical immune enhancement that coronavirus vaccines are known for. (l’ll cover that in a later section.)
The U.S. trial will include 360 healthy volunteers in the first stage, and as many as 8,000 in the second stage. Volunteers will be divided into four groups, each group receiving one of four variations of the vaccine. The trial is being conducted at New York University’s Grossman School of Medicine, the University of Maryland School of Medicine, the University of Rochester Medical Center and the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.
“As soon as pharmaceutical companies can show evidence that a vaccine is effective and has produced no serious harms, they can apply for this kind of approval, which allows doctors to administer the vaccine to those most in need.
But more detailed study results may still be needed to persuade federal regulators to approve a candidate for the broader public,” The New York Times reports.
COVID-19 Vaccine Will Be Unlike Any Other
Like Moderna and several other competitors, the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is using messenger RNA (mRNA) rather than live or attenuated (inactivated) viruses grown in animal cells. Among the vaccine candidates are ones containing uridine-containing mRNA (uRNA), nucleoside-modified mRNA (modRNA) and self-amplifying mRNA (saRNA). As explained by The New York Times:
“… messenger RNA … carries the instructions for cells to make proteins. By injecting a specially designed messenger RNA into the body, the vaccine could potentially tell cells how to make the spike protein of the coronavirus without actually making a person sick.
Because the virus typically uses this protein as a key to unlock and take over lung cells, the vaccine could train a healthy immune system to produce antibodies to fight off an infection … But no vaccine made with this technology for other viruses has ever reached the global market.”
So, not only are we dealing with a novel virus, the mechanics of which is still not thoroughly understood (some experts are now saying it appears to be a genetically engineered virus that attacks the blood more so than the lungs, for example), they’re also using a novel RNA-based vaccine that has never been used before.
What could possibly go wrong? In my view — just about everything. It could turn into a global catastrophe the likes of which we’ve never experienced before.
Fast-Tracked Vaccine Could Have Catastrophic Consequences
In my recent interview above with Robert Kennedy Jr., he summarized the history of coronavirus vaccine development, which began after three SARS epidemics had broken out, starting in early 2002. Two of those three epidemics were lab-created organisms. Chinese, Americans and Europeans all started working on a coronavirus vaccine and around 2012, there were some 30 promising candidates.
As explained by Kennedy, the four best vaccine candidates were then given to ferrets, which are the closest analogue to human lung infections. Kennedy explained what happened next:
“The ferrets had an extraordinarily good antibody response, and that is the metric by which FDA licenses vaccines … They do a serological response [test to] see ‘Did you develop in your blood antibodies to that target virus?’ The ferrets developed very strong antibodies, so they thought, ‘We hit the jackpot.’ All four of these vaccines … worked like a charm.
Then something terrible happened. Those ferrets were then exposed to the wild virus, and they all died. [They developed] inflammation in all their organs, their lungs stopped functioning and they died …
The same thing had happened in the 1960s when they tried to develop an RSV vaccine, which is an upper respiratory illness very similar to coronavirus.
At the time, they did not test it on animals. They went right to human testing. They tested it on I think about 35 children, and the same thing happened. The children developed a champion antibody response — robust, durable.
It looked perfect [but when] the children were exposed to the wild virus, they all became sick. Two of them died. They abandoned the vaccine. It was a big embarrassment to FDA and NIH.”
The Cause Behind Paradoxical Immune Enhancement
What could possibly account for this perplexing outcome? Why did the ferrets die when exposed to the wild virus even though they had a robust antibody response to the vaccine?
As explained by Kennedy, after looking into the matter further, researchers in 2012 discovered that coronaviruses produce not just one but two different types of antibodies — neutralizing antibodies that fight the infection, and binding antibodies (also known as nonneutralizing antibodies) that cannot prevent viral infection.
Incapable of preventing viral infection, binding antibodies can instead trigger a “paradoxical immune response,” or “paradoxical immune enhancement.” “What that means is that it looks good until you get the disease, and then it makes the disease much, much worse,” Kennedy said, adding:
“Coronavirus vaccines can be very dangerous, and that’s why even our enemies, people who hate you and me — Peter Hotez, Paul Offit, Ian Lipkin — are all saying, ‘You got to be really, really careful with this vaccine.’”
Additionally, in my interview with Dr. Meryl Nass that will run May 24, 2020, she notes that Ralph Barric from the University of North Carolina — who collaborated extensively with Shi Zhengli from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and who is widely noted as one, if not the leading coronavirus virologist in the world — predicted that the vaccine would be an abysmal failure in the elderly who need it the most.
Many of the COVID-19 vaccines currently in the running are using mRNA to instruct your cells to make the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S protein), in other words, the glycoprotein that attaches to the ACE2 receptor of the cell. This is the first stage of the two-stage process viruses use to gain entry into cells.
The idea is that by creating the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, your immune system will commence production of antibodies, without making you sick in the process. But are they in fact checking which of the two types of antibodies this process will produce?
Will injecting mRNA trigger the production of neutralizing antibodies or will it produce binding/nonneutralizing antibodies? Simply checking for antibody response may not suffice.
Vaccine Propagandist Expressed Concerns
Fast-tracking vaccine development has considerable risks. The best case scenario (highly unlikely) is that it will simply be ineffective (which is typically the case for the seasonal influenza vaccine), or, far more likely, it will cause serious side effects (as was the case with the fast-tracked 1976-1977 and 2009-2010 H1N1 swine flu vaccine), or it just might worsen infection rather than prevent it, as has been the case with previous coronavirus vaccines. As reported by Reuters:
“Studies have suggested that coronavirus vaccines carry the risk of what is known as vaccine enhancement, where instead of protecting against infection, the vaccine can actually make the disease worse when a vaccinated person is infected with the virus.
The mechanism that causes that risk is not fully understood and is one of the stumbling blocks that has prevented the successful development of a coronavirus vaccine …
‘I understand the importance of accelerating timelines for vaccines in general, but from everything I know, this is not the vaccine to be doing it with,’ Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, told Reuters.”
Coming from a staunch pro-mandatory vaccination propagandist like Hotez, that’s really saying something. Needless to say, COVID-19 vaccine makers will be indemnified from financial liability no matter how many casualties a fast-tracked vaccine might cause.
Fast-Tracked Swine Flu Vaccine Caused Genetic Alterations
The H1N1 swine flu of 2009 was the most recent pandemic of note, and it’s well worth remembering what happened with the European fast-tracked vaccine. Europe accelerated its approval process, allowing manufacturers to skip large-scale human trials — a decision that turned out to have tragic consequences for an untold number of children and teens across Europe.
Over the next few years, the ASO3-adjuvanted swine flu vaccine Pandemrix (used in Europe but not in the U.S. during 2009-2010) was causally linked to childhood narcolepsy, which abruptly skyrocketed in several countries.
Children and teens in Finland, the UK and Sweden were among the hardest hit. Further analyses discerned a rise in narcolepsy among adults who received the vaccine as well, although the link wasn’t as obvious as that in children and adolescents.
A 2019 study reported finding a “novel association between Pandemrix-associated narcolepsy and the non-coding RNA gene GDNF-AS1” — a gene thought to regulate the production of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor or GDNF, a protein that plays an important role in neuronal survival.
They also confirmed a strong association between vaccine-induced narcolepsy and a certain haplotype, suggesting “variation in genes related to immunity and neuronal survival may interact to increase the susceptibility to Pandemrix-induced narcolepsy in certain individuals.”
In addition to that, there’s the research showing that the H1N1 swine flu vaccine was one of five inactivated vaccines that increased overall mortality, especially among girls.
The Pandemrix debacle should be instructive. No one anticipated a flu vaccine to have genetic consequences, yet it did. Now they’re proposing injecting mRNA to make every single cell in your body produce the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. How can we possibly think that the long-term ramifications of this will be clear by September?
Safer Vaccines Can Be Made
In my recent interview with Judy Mikovits, Ph.D. is a cellular and molecular biologist, she points out there’s a way to produce a much safer vaccine against COVID-19. Of course, her proposal will never see the light of day or ever be considered.
She proposes a novel vaccine for viruses like SARS-CoV-2 that involves alpha interferon, small amounts of the virus and peptide T, which would block the interaction of the virus and keep your T cells from getting infected.
Interferon Type 1 is a type of beneficial cytokine released by your body as one of its first line of defense against viral infections. In a nutshell, it interferes with viral replication. It’s also been shown to suppress certain types of tumors. As part of your immune system, it digests viral DNA and viral proteins in infected cells while simultaneously protecting noninfected neighboring cells.

Unlike conventional vaccines, which are mostly injected, this would be oral and only stimulate antibody humoral responses. Her version would also cause innate cellular immunity from the T cells. As Mikovits explained in my recent interview with her, featured in “Could Retroviruses Play a Role in COVID-19?”:
“I was part of the team that first used the immune therapy, a purified Type 1 interferon alpha, as a curative therapy for a leukemia. That research has proceeded for decades, [yet] the Food and Drug Administration said, ‘You can’t use that in preventing coronaviruses from jumping from animals [to humans].’

President Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed,” a public-private partnership to develop a vaccine and ready it for mass production by early 2021, has generated anti-vaccine concerns among some Americans, a new survey finds.
The survey, published via Reuters/Ipsos on Thursday, found 25% of Americans have no interest in taking a coronavirus vaccine.
About 36% of respondents said they would be less willing to take a vaccine if President Trump said it was safe. Only 14% said they would be interested.
Reuters/Ipsos surveyed 4,428 Americans between May 13-19 said they would need to review additional research on the vaccine to determine if it was safe.
A little less than 66% were “very” or “somewhat” interested in a vaccine if made readily available.
Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, told Reuters, considering there are 92,000 virus-related deaths, he thought there would be a much higher amount of people that would want the vaccine.
“It’s a little lower than I thought it would be with all the attention to COVID-19,” said Schaffner. “I would have expected somewhere around 75 percent.”
The survey found 14% were not interested at all, 10% were not very interested, and 11% were unsure about subjecting themselves to a vaccine.
Health experts tell Reuters that, “at least 70% of Americans would need to be immune through a vaccine or prior infection to achieve what is known as “herd immunity,” when enough people are resistant to an infectious disease to prevent its spread.”
President Trump’s Operation Warp Speed program aims to produce 300 million doses of a vaccine by January, a goal that we’ve said is widely unrealistic.
The president’s constant hype of vaccines has led some people to believe many of the drugs in development are being rushed and could have dangerous side effects. Ron Paul recently warned “rushed-into-production” vaccines for other viruses have had disastrous health consequences for some people.
Nearly 84% of respondents said vaccines for measles are safe, suggesting that people are doubtful about a rushed vaccine for COVID-19. Of the folks who were “not very” interested in taking the vaccine, 29% of them said they would reassess their thoughts once the FDA approved it.
Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, where his staff is currently developing a vaccine, said:
“It’s not surprising a significant percentage of Americans are not going to take the vaccine because of the terrible messaging we’ve had, the absence of a communication plan around the vaccine and this very aggressive anti-vaccine movement.”
The poll underlines how political divides among Democrats and Republicans predate the pandemic, but lockdowns have since catalyzed new divides and exacerbating old ones. That being, nearly 20% of Republicans said they had no interest in a vaccine, which was more than double the proportion of Democrats who said the same.
With creepy billionaire Bill Gates and big government rushing vaccines into development and for possible mass production next year — the anti-vaccine movement in America continues to grow.

Capt. Karrey Sanders, commanding officer of Portland, the ship where the weapon was fired from, said that the Navy will continue to test the limits and capabilities of this new technology.
“By conducting advanced at sea tests against UAVs and small crafts, we will gain valuable information on the capabilities of the Solid State Laser Weapons System Demonstrator against potential threats. With this new advanced capability, we are redefining war at sea for the Navy. The Navy’s development of DEWs (Direct Energy Weapons) like the LWSD provide immediate warfighter benefits and provide the commander increased decision space and response options,” Sanders said.
Lt. Cale Hughes, a laser weapons system officer explained how the laser system worked in a previous interview with CNN.
“It is throwing massive amounts of photons at an incoming object. We don’t worry about wind, we don’t worry about range, we don’t worry about anything else. We’re able to engage the targets at the speed of light,” Hughes said.
It is believed that the weapon used was a 150-kilowatt-class Laser Weapon System Demonstrator (LWSD), which is sold to the US military by the weapon contractor Northrop Grumman. The US Army is said to be working on a laser weapon that is twice as powerful, known as the Indirect Fires Protection Capability-High Energy Laser (IFPC-HEL), which is expected to range up 300 kilowatts and intercept rockets, artillery, and mortars.

Last month researchers released a new study on the hallucinogen DMT (or dimethyltryptamine) that provided fresh survey data on the phenomenon of DMT users experiencing and encountering sentient ‘entities’ while tripping. Scientists believe the findings could help to better understand near-death experiences and alien-abduction experiences, as well as develop treatments for mood and behavioral disorders.
The study involved surveying over 2,000 DMT users, the majority of whom claimed to have had positive encounters and even emotional exchanges with beings they felt were advanced and benevolent. Most of the users, upon coming down from the drug, felt the beings were real and not manufactured solely by a hallucination.
The survey produced the following additional data: 99% had an emotional response and of those, 58% believed the entity they encountered also had an emotional response and the feeling was overwhelmingly positive, though some reported instances of fear; 81% of respondents felt the ‘entities’ were real; and two-thirds believed they had received “a message, task, mission, purpose, or insight from the entity encounter experience.”
The study adds more anecdotal corroboration that the DMT psychedelic experience is unique from other drugs.
First discovered as a psychoactive agent by Hungarian psychopharmacologist Stephen Szara in the 1950s, DMT is a psychedelic compound of the tryptamine family. It’s the only psychedelic that is found both in nature and produced naturally by the human body. Because its chemical structure strongly resemble neurotransmitters, particularly serotonin, some refer to it as ‘nature’s serotonin.’
As an endogenous chemical, produced naturally by the human body, it has also been referred to as the “brain’s own psychedelic.”
In the early 1990s, psychiatrist Rick Strassman conducted some of the first human DMT trials and was shocked by a trend he saw. There was a significant prevalence of patients who described their DMT experience some sort of contact or communication with interdimensional entities.
The patients strongly believed they had entered some kind of realm where intelligent “beings”, “entities”, “aliens”, “guides”, or “helpers” were working. Though they appeared differently for different people–sometimes as reptiles, spiders, geometric shapes, stick figures, etc. The common thread for most of the patients was that DMT did not produce a hallucination but rather acted as a kind of biological portal to a different dimension or level of reality that we normally can’t see.
These entities appeared in different ways for different people, but most often as “clowns, reptiles, mantises, bees, spiders, cacti, and stick figures.”
Legendary ethnobotanist and writer Terrence McKenna, who experimented with many different psychedelics, became a major advocate of DMT. Between 1967 to 1994, McKenna smoked DMT 30 to 40 times.
In an interview in The Archaic Revival (1992) Mckenna said:
“It was really the DMT that empowered my commitment to the psychedelic experience. DMT was so much more powerful, so much more alien, raising all kinds of issues about what is reality, what is language, what is the self, what is three-dimensional space and time, all the questions I became involved with over the next twenty years or so.” He describes the DMT experience as a hyperdimensional reality that can not be described or “downloaded” by human language, “a fundamentally different order than any other experience this side of the yawning grave.” “What arrests my attention is the fact that this space is inhabited—that the immediate impression as you break into it is there’s a cheer. […] You break into this space and are immediately swarmed by squeaking, self-transforming elf-machines…made of light and grammar and sound that come chirping and squealing and tumbling toward you. And they say, “Hooray! Welcome! You’re here!” And in my case, “You send so many and you come so rarely!”
McKenna, a famously eccentric though revered social philosopher, was fully convinced DMT established a portal between humans and one or more of the following: extraterrestrials, entities in a parallel dimension, dead humans, or humans from the future.
A surprising number of other scientists and medical professionals have agreed with this. Though he did not form a definitive conclusion, Rick Strassman, who later went on to write the popular book DMT: The Spirit Molecule (which inspired the popular eponymous documentary), studied the release of DMT in the brain at the moment of death and during dreams. Ultimately, his research left him confused and overwhelmed.
Dovetailing with his research into Zen Buddhism, he stated:
“I worked through various models’ methods of understanding the DMT volunteers’ experiences, and found them wanting. The Buddhist psychological model didn’t comport with the data – the “more real than real” element of volunteers’ experiences (Buddhism proposes these phenomena are all generated by the mind, rather than “real” observations of external reality); [this] did nothing to suggest a satisfactory evolutionary explanation for the presence of DMT in the human body.”
Pharmacologist and medicinal chemist Dr. David Nichols said he could not discount the possibility that DMT really does grant some kind of extra-dimensional contact:
“There are probably conscious, sentient beings that don’t look like life as we recognize it,” Strassman said in an interview, “that maybe exist at some level of existence that we don’t have any awareness of. The universe is 95% dark matter/dark energy; we don’t even understand what gravity is. So the possibility that there are intelligences that exist at some other wavelength or in some other dimension or some other frequency I don’t think is out of the realm of possibility at all.”
Of course not everyone believes these hallucinations are anything more than powerful archetypes.
In 2004, author James Kent, who wrote “Psychedelic Information Theory — Shamanism in the Age of Reason,” wrote that “humans across all cultures have alien and heavenly archetypes embedded in their subconscious, and psychedelic tryptamines can access the archetypes with a high level of success.”
Kent embarked on his own immersion journalism adventure with DMT and tried to extract information from the ‘entities’ that otherwise would not have been available to him. He said he could not.
So is DMT just a particularly powerful hallucination generated when the brain has its visual processing system hijacked by a tryptamine or is Mckenna right when he says it allows the user to access an alternate reality where there’s a “raging universe of active intelligence that is transhuman, hyperdimensional, and extremely alien”?
The new study provides some interesting data that, though anecdotal, suggests that DMT provides the user with an “ontological shock” that may be able to rewire negative psychological patterns.
The researchers write in their paper that “it is possible that, under appropriate supportive set and setting conditions, DMT could show promise as an adjunct to therapy for people with mood and behavioral problems (e.g. depression and addiction).”
Recent research on DMT by Brazilian scientists additionally “suggest[s] that classic psychedelics are powerful inducers of neuroplasticity, a tool of psychobiological transformation that we know very little about.”
Future research, therefore, could help get DMT removed from the list of Schedule 1 drugs, where it currently sits alongside heroin and marijuana.

As the world continues to witness warming climate conditions, there has been a frightful uptick in massive wildfires from California to the Amazon rainforest and the Australian bush.
And as the world’s forests burn to the ground, this creates a dilemma not only for wildlife habitats but also for us humans – because trees help absorb and store carbon dioxide, they are one of our basic lines of defense against global warming.
However, a Canadian startup has set the lofty goal of using drones to plant a billion trees by 2028 – and in the process, the company hopes to revolutionize the manner in which the process of reforestation is tackled.
Flash Forest plans to deploy its revolutionary new technology to identify the best planting sites on fire-scorched land just north of Toronto where it can begin firing specially designed seedpods into the ground. The pods consist of germinated seeds, fertilizer, and a proprietary blend of “secret” ingredients, according to Newsweek.
A spray drone would then cover the area with nutrients such as nitrogen, helping the seedlings to grow, before mapping drones are sent later to monitor progress.
The company hopes to plant at least 40,000 trees in the Toronto region this month alone. Later this year, Flash Forest will also plant up to 300,000 trees in Hawaii.
And while people are capable of planting around 1,500 seed pods by hands, per day – requiring a hectic pace, without a doubt – Flash Forest’s drone solutions are apparently capable of planting 10,000 to 20,000 at present, with the company hoping to eventually be able to plant 100,000 a day.
And not only is the process far less intensive in terms of manual labor required, but it’s also far cheaper at around 50 cents per seed pod – about 20 percent cheaper than traditional planting techniques.
According to a study published in the journal Science, planting about a billion trees across the globe could remove two-thirds of all carbon dioxide emissions worldwide—approximately 25 percent of the CO2 in the atmosphere—creating a vast natural means to trap and store the emissions in an affordable and politically non-controversial manner.
The company claims that its drones can sharply increase the speed and efficiency of planting trees. The company said:
“Flash Forest is a reforestation company that can plant at 10 times the normal rate and at 20 percent of the cost of traditional tree planting techniques. “With drone engineering, we bring new levels of accuracy, precision and speed to the reforestation industry.”
The world faces a shrinking window of time in which to tackle the problem of heat-trapping emissions, with researchers warning that rampant and accelerating hot conditions across the world could exceed the worst-case scenarios previously forecast by climate experts – giving added impetus to mitigation efforts.
Flash Forest co-founder and chief strategy officer Angelique Ahlstrom said that’s where its drones can be a crucial part of such a strategy. She told Fast Company:
“There are a lot of different attempts to tackle reforestation. But despite all of them, they’re still failing, with a net loss of 7 billion trees every year.”
Ahlstrom notes that it’s not possible to combat deforestation by planting trees alone – however, Flash Forest’s state-of-the-art hardware using mapping drones and pneumatic-powered firing devices that shoot pods deep into the soil can be an asset in the cause.
Continuing, she said:
“It allows you to get into trickier areas that human planters can’t.”
Each planting will also consist of four species and eventually eight – covering an aspect of mass tree-planting that similar initiatives have overlooked in the past. Ahlstrom said:
“We very much prioritize biodiversity, so we try to plant species that are native to the land as opposed to monocultures. “We work with local seed banks and also take into account that the different changes that climate change brings with temperature rise, anticipating what the climate will be like in five to eight years when these trees are much older and have grown to a more mature stage, and how that will affect them.”
According to their website, they’ve so far planted 469 White Spruce, 344 White Pine, around 327 Blue Spruce, 225 Red Maple, 790 White Birch, 621 Sugar Maple, 131 Douglas Fir, and 199 Balsam.
And with researchers claiming that the Earth has room for over 1 trillion additional trees that can be planted across the globe, Flash Forest could help change the way any worldwide planting initiative would take shape. For Ahlstrom, it’s pretty simple math. She said:
“I think that drones are absolutely necessary to hit the kind of targets that we’re saying are necessary to achieve some of our carbon sequestration goals as a global society (and) when you look at the potential for drones, we plant 10 times faster than humans.”

I find it especially ironic that this latest round of draconian clampdown is based on a media perpetuated invisible virus meme. No big war, no attacking enemy, no material weaponry, staged boogeymen or concocted “terrorists”.
Yet this barrage of propaganda worked like a charm.
Well, there are terrorists, as usual just the same old perpetrators. The overarching enemy within the gate, its very rulers managing the human farm, now draping a shroud of containment and despair on seemingly helpless humanity.
Isn’t this surreally strange? Yet everyone worldwide responded more than they did to the phony war on terror or any other geopolitical or economic threat.
And whammo! One big bad bark from perceived authority and into the can humanity fled, and continues to cower in — even becoming enforcers themselves to degrees that escape comprehension.
Why Is It Ironic?
“Irony, in its broadest sense, is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or event in which what appears, on the surface, to be the case, differs radically from what is actually the case. Irony can be categorized into different types, including verbal irony, dramatic irony, and situational irony.”
Here’s another part of the definition:
“A literary technique, originally used in Greek tragedy, by which the full significance of a character’s words or actions are clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character.”
Were it so, then everyone would know it’s just a play. Unfortunately the audience is only partially getting it. The vast majority are mesmerized and bought into not just the play, but the part that was designed to make it interesting with contrast. Like rooting for yin versus yang or vice verse.
Nutsville.
One part of the irony is that the individual biological miracles that we are, so called viruses that have been around for eons are what we are fully equipped for. We’re not equipped for thermonuclear war and all of this mechanized insanity out there, but we are innately built to use good viruses as well as withstand deleterious ones.
It’s innate, just as the built-in core of our existence is wide awake, full on eternal consciousness capable of withstanding and transcending anything on this or any other plane.
In fact, we’re born of viruses and they’re an integral part of our make up. The fact that this is a clearly ramped up seasonal flu scare the whole world fell for, whatever attached mechanics, is the dark irony. The fact that so few have caught on to the sham is what makes it dark.
Cognitive dissonance is a more permeating definition perhaps. Call it what you will.
But don’t you find that strange that this would be their weapon of choice? If you think about it, doesn’t that strike at our very aliveness as supposedly conscious organisms?
It just shows they can weaponize anything, even our own minds.
Especially our own minds.
That’s what’s been eating Gilbert Globe.
It’s Really Nothing New
It’s all so dumbfoundingly amazing. We’re built to withstand all kinds of physical invasions of our very bodies. What we’re witnessing is an externalization of the process once again, as aggressive forces “do their thing” on the body politic, so incredibly easily manipulated simply through thought control.
But what’s new, really? It’s just being made magnificently manifest. It’s almost a favor to mankind. The hypnotic state of humanity is what sages, seers, prophets, philosophers and awake activists have been pounding on for ages.
This has always been the case. How else can such a small minority control such vast populations? That’s what it’s all about. Always has been.
Control – through external threats if they got out of line, and most of all internal mind coercion.
Nothing to Fear – At All
It’s just the dark machinations of the controlling few on the full on jumbotron of life for all to see. Lucky for them most of humanity is pretty well sound asleep in a state of anaphylactic fear.
Maybe it’s too obvious. Could that be it? Like the famous line saying if you tell a lie, tell a big one, otherwise no one will believe it. Go for the jugular, the whole enchilada.
Well, they just did. And here we all sit, even further confined in this already toxic fish tank.
It’s a gift. The boil burst. Everything is plain as day.
What each individual does with it is what’s playing out. History has some profound lessons in this regard, how empires rose and fell. And here we are in a global demonstration.
Some will get it, some won’t. We can’t judge by outward appearances or at all by what the borg “news” says. There’s a heaven of a lot of awakening going on at many levels.
The Squeeze Is On
The great wine press of life’s experience is in a full court press. It’s not “bad” in any conscious context, it just is. Life is playing out, as difficult as it is.
That doesn’t mean we don’t each do our part as participants in this grand unfolding. That’s what we each do. We reach out, to comfort, strengthen and encourage others. That shows the diabolical nature of isolation, social distancing and censorship. Something seems to sense our connectivity is extremely empowering.
It’s asphyxiation by design. But like I told a friend years ago who felt swamped and submerged in her very difficult situation:
Grow gills.
Feel like you’re forcibly submerged underwater and suffocating?
Grow gills.
That’s what we do. We dig deep and find the true wellspring, our true untouchable Source.
When that happens, ALL of life’s trials are seen as blessings in disguise, nothing but continued opportunity until we transform our entire outlook and understanding and truly awaken.
And we find it was worth it all.
Reminds me of the guy abandoned at the end of a rope in a deep well and couldn’t get out. He thought for sure if he let go he’d plummet to his death. He eventually couldn’t hold on any longer and just let go.
And he fell 10 inches.
Our foundation is solid rock. Let the fiery trials and blasts of ignorant idiots fly, it can’t touch what we’re truly made of.
If this helps people find that place after years of chances and even willful denial, now piled heavier with doubts and fears on every side….
Good.
No one gets out of here alive. Not the corporal us.
The real deal lives forever.
Might as will find that forever now.
It’s a great opportunity.
Love, Zen

The world’s worst Putin puppet is escalating tensions with Russia even further, with the Trump administration looking at withdrawal from more nuclear treaties in the near future.
In addition to planning on withdrawing from the Open Skies Treaty and knocking back Moscow’s attempts to renew the soon-to-expire New START Treaty, Trump is also contemplating breaking the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban treaty by conducting the first US nuclear test explosion since 1992, reportedly as an attempt to bring China to the table for joining New START.
Moon of Alabama has already published a solid breakdown of all this, outlining the absence of evidence for the Trump administration’s justifications of its treaty withdrawals and explaining why China has nothing whatsoever to gain by signing on to a trilateral New START Treaty. I have nothing to add to this, other than to ask a simple question.

The question I want to ask is, do you consent to this?
Do you consent to steadily mounting cold war escalations against not one but two nuclear-armed nations?
Do you consent to having a bunch of unseen military personnel rolling the dice every day on the gamble that we won’t wipe ourselves off the face of this earth in the confusion and chaos of rising hostilities due to miscommunication or technical malfunction, as nearly happened many times during the last cold war?
Do you consent to a slow-motion third world war where an oligarch-led alliance of powerful nations works tirelessly to absorb new nations into its imperial blob by any means necessary?
Do you consent to a world where weapons of armageddon are brandished about by imbeciles with inadequacy issues?
Do you consent to a world ruled by people who are so sociopathic that they are willing to inflict endless mass military slaughter and risk a nuclear holocaust just to have more control over the world population?
Do you consent to a world where we risk literally everything because a few overeducated, under-mothered think tankers were able to market an idea called “unipolarity” at key points of interest after the fall of the Soviet Union?
Do you consent to a world where powerful governments team up like a bunch of bitchy mean girls against weaker nations that aren’t in their clique?
Do you consent to governments spending lives, resources and treasure on bloodbaths around the globe and treating terrestrial life itself like some trivial plaything instead of ensuring the thriving of their own populations?
Does this seem like health to you?
Does this seem like sanity to you?
Is any of this something you want? Something you consent to?
Of course not. These questions are all redundant. Nobody with a healthy mind and a clear picture of what’s going on would consent to this madness, no matter what nation they live in.
This whole insane model was rolled out without your consent. You were never asked if you consented, because the answer would have been no.
Nobody gives their conscious and informed consent to this. The new cold war is as consensual as sex after a Rohypnol-spiked drink, and the illusion of consent is just as nefariously and artificially manufactured. People are roofied into sedation by mass media propaganda and endless diversion from reality, and then power has its way with us.
If people were actually given informed consent about what is done in their name, none of this would be happening. Weapons of war would have been destroyed long ago and we’d all be working together in healthy collaboration with each other and with our ecosystem to ensure a healthy, happy world for our children and our grandchildren.
There is no reason we cannot have such a world. We are the many, they are the few. They manufacture our consent because they absolutely require that consent. A population which will not be propagandized is a population which cannot be ruled.
All we have to do is inform each other about what’s really going on. Then informed consent can exist. And be withdrawn.

Global Anger Builds As Elites Worldwide Break Quarantine Rules

“One rule for me, and another for thee” appears to be the politically-prone mantra rapidly spreading around the world.
Opposition parties take shots at one another with America‘s left decrying President Trump’s maskless-golfing escapades…
…and the right exposing Virginia Governor Northam’s recent non-socially-distanced, maskless-beach visit.
Japanese authorities are also under pressure with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s cabinet approval rating fell 4 ppts to 29%, lowest since the start of his second administration in Dec. 2012, after a wave of condemnation involving a man that his administration took great pains to defend: Hiromu Kurokawa, head of the Tokyo High Public Prosecutor’s Office. On Thursday, Kurokawa stepped down after a tabloid expose said he had gambled on mahjong with journalists twice this month despite the state of emergency requesting that nonessential outings be avoided.
And the icing on the global anger cake is occurring in Britain after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson came out in support of top aide Dominic Cummings Sunday despite his his chief aide allegedly violating the national lockdown rules that he helped to create by driving the length of England to his parents’ house while he was infected with COVID-19.
Defying a growing clamor from public and politicians, AP reports that Johnson said Dominic Cummings had acted “responsibly, legally and with integrity” when he drove 250 miles from London to Durham, in northeast England, with his wife and son at the end of March.
Cummings said he traveled to be near extended family because his wife was showing COVID-19 symptoms, he correctly thought he was also infected and he wanted to ensure that his 4-year-old son was looked after.
However, as AP notes, critics of the government expressed outrage that Cummings had broken strict rules
Labour leader Keir Starmer said Johnson’s defense of Cummings was “an insult to sacrifices made by the British people.”
“The prime minister’s actions have undermined confidence in his own public health message at this crucial time,” he said .
Former Labour lawmaker Helen Goodman, whose father died in a nursing home during the outbreak, said Cummings’s behavior was “repellent.”
Whether you’re repelled or not, most ironically, Cummings “is the inventor of these three-word slogans: ‘Stay at Home,’ ‘Protect the NHS’ and ‘Save Lives.'”
As a reminder, elsewhere in Britain, so-called epidemiologist Neil Ferguson stepped down as government scientific adviser earlier this month after a newspaper disclosed that his girlfriend had crossed London to stay with him during the lockdown. In April, Catherine Calderwood resigned as Scotland’s chief medical officer after twice traveling from Edinburgh to her second home.
Still, it seems the elites’ ongoing belief in ordering the “better safe than sorry” lockdown of entire nations is facing a breaking point among the stuck-at-home, increasingly welfare-dependent average joe around the world.
