Your “Immunity Passport” Future Begins To Materialize As Airlines Call For Digital ID Tracking Systems
Derrick Broze, Activist Post
Waking Times
The world’s largest airline trade group has called for immunity passports, thermal screening, masks, and physical distancing to be a part of the industry’s strategy for returning to “normal” operations.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA), which represents 299 airlines, recently issued their publication, Biosecurity for Air Transport A Roadmap for Restarting Aviation, which outlines their strategy to open up air travel as governments begin to lift travel restrictions.
Under a section titled, “The passenger experience” and “Temporary biosecurity measures,” the IATA describes their vision of post-COVID-19 flights. The organization calls for contact tracing, a controversial method of tracking the civilian population to track the spread of COVID-19.
“We foresee the need to collect more detailed passenger contact information which can be used for tracing purposes,” the report states. “Where possible, the data should be collected in electronic form, and in advance of the passenger arriving at the airport including through eVisa and electronic travel authorization platforms.”
Interestingly, this call for pre-boarding check-in using “electronic travel authorization platforms” coincides with the recent announcement of the Covi-Pass and the Health Pass from Clear, both of which call for a digital ID system using biometrics and storing travel, health, and identification data.
Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s CEO, told Arabian Industry that “a layered approach” combining multiple measures which are “globally implemented and mutually recognized by governments” are “the way forward for biosecurity.”
The IATA also calls for temperature screening at entry points to airport terminals. They envision the airline experience involving physical distancing of 3-6 feet throughout the airport. The group believes changes to the airport buildings to allow for physical distancing may be necessary. The IATA also recommended “face coverings” for passengers and protective equipment for airline and airport staff.
Although the organization acknowledged that there is not currently a fast reliable test for COVID-19, they believe that once an effective test is developed it could be applied on entry to the terminal. They call for this measure to be “incorporated into the passenger process as soon as an effective test, validated by the medical community, has been developed.”
On the topic of immunity passports — an idea discussed by Anthony Fauci, the World Health Organization, and Bill Gates — the IATA states that “immunity passports could play an important role in further facilitating the restart of air travel.” The organization believes that if a person is shown to have recovered from COVID-19 and developed immunity they will not need protective measures. Once medical evidence supports the possibility of immunity to COVID-19, IATA believes “it is essential that a recognized global standard be introduced, and that corresponding documents be made available electronically.”
Finally, the IATA believes a “general move towards greater use of touchless technology and biometrics should also be pursued.” Biometrics would include facial recognition, retina scanning, and/or thumbprints.
This vision painted by the IATA is one where those who choose to fly are faced with invasive security measures, surveillance, biometric tracking, immunity passports, temperature screenings, and generally, less human contact due to physical distancing and less communication with actual people. Of course, this push towards a digital ID which contains an individual’s personal identifying information, health records, and other personal data is part of an agenda which predates COVID-19. The “powers that wish they were” are taking every opportunity to expand their technocratic control grid and the panic caused by COVID-19 allows them to accelerate their plans at a rate not seen since the days after the attacks of September 11, 2001.
The only thing stopping the roll out of this Technocratic State is the people of the world coming together, informing those who are in the dark, and unplugging from this control grid.

If the State of Oklahoma has its way, a new cannabis breathalyzer will be put into place to supposedly protect drivers on the road from impaired motorists under the influence of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis.
Although the state is calling the new breathalyzer a pilot program, undoubtedly the DUI citations issued as a result of the new test will most certainly be real, and not an experiment like the tool itself.
Rep. Scott Fetgatter (R), said Oklahoma need the new THC breathalyzer because:
We have a lot of problems when it comes to medical marijuana and DUI laws and determining impairment.
That’s because heavy cannabis users have much higher THC levels in their system than the occasional toker. Likewise, heavy cannabis users have a much higher tolerance for the substance than beginning users for example.
As a result, a person who has just started smoking weed may be much more impaired than the heavy user who will have a much higher blood to THC content level than the new user. That’s what make such breathalyzers so unreliable. Not only can the test not determine impairment, it also cannot determine how much time has passed since someone chose to ingest a bit of the healing herb.
Joshua Smith, the director for the Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence describes the reality for law enforcement in their attempts to enforce DUI laws:
Right now, we don’t really have a lot of roadside testing options for drug screening…Most of those things are going to fall into a blood test or drug recognition expert doing an evaluation and giving an opinion…Field sobriety tests can reliably detect drug impairment
As The Free Thought Project has reported, Smith’s suggestion a Drug Recognition Expert’s (DRE) professional opinion has been called into question — multiple times. As we previously reported, one DRE in Arizona violently and with injuries arrested an autistic citizen thinking he was under the influence of drugs because he was stemming. Likewise, as TFTP has concluded, DRE’s are no experts at all.
Scientists spend years upon years in a classroom earning degrees in the hopes of being called an expert someday while any beat cop with a high school education and a summer training institute can supposedly be given the title of “expert” by following a checklist and going on a hunch to determine if someone is under the influence of drugs. Not only have stone cold sober citizens been charged with DUI based on their so-called expert evaluation but they’ve had their lives destroyed as a result.
Now, it seems, there’s one more instrument to worry about, the THC breathalyzer. Rep. Ross Ford (R) said:
It’s kind of a trial program to make sure the system works.
We at the TFTP would like to know if the DUIs which result from the new breathalyzers will also be a “trial” to see if they’ll hold up under the scrutiny of defense attorneys. We doubt they will. The science simply does not have a leg to stand on.
Sarah Stewart from the OK Depart of Public Safety (DPS) said it will take some time and DPS is in no hurry to implement the new tool. She said she wants to look at other states and see how they’re doing it.
We have to research this and put together a program.
In the meanwhile folks, the DREs are out there going through their checklists. Cops are still forcing motorists to submit to field drug kit testing, even though they’re notoriously unreliable and unscientific. And motorists are having their blood drawn against their will in vampire like fashion. The best advice we could ever give to our readers is to simply not answer any questions.

In 1917 Rudolf Steiner Foresaw a Vaccine that Would ‘Drive All Inclination Toward Spirituality Out of People’s Souls’
Dylan Charles, Editor
Waking Times
If you’ve felt at all like you’re in a spiritual war right now, you’re not alone.
Many of the world’s greatest scholars, philosophers and ascetics understood the world to be multi-dimensional and co-inhabited by non-physical beings both good and evil, always at war with us and each other.
It’s not something that can be rightly explained with language or science. One must cultivate such sensitivity that the existence of spiritual beings can be directly experienced.
Rudolf Steiner was an Austrian philosopher, educator, and spiritualist, and over the course of his life he published numerous books and papers on the science of spirituality. He viewed the human body as a spiritual vessel, open to occupation by other entities.
To be conscious of these forces was to have the power to reject their negative influence. To remain unconscious of them was to be a leaf in their wind, and spiritual cultivation was the key to developing conscious awareness of them.
“The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner
If people express the natural human inclination toward spiritual growth, they free themselves from fear and anxiety, and effectively develop a sort of immunity to the influences of negative entities. If not, our vibration attracts hostile spirits and we fall unconsciously unto their influence.
“There are beings in the spiritual realms for whom anxiety and fear emanating from human beings offer welcome food. When humans have no anxiety and fear, then these creatures starve… If fear and anxiety radiates from people and they break out in panic, then these creatures find welcome nutrition and they become more and more powerful. These beings are hostile towards humanity. Everything that feeds on negative feelings, on anxiety, fear and superstition, despair or doubt, are in reality hostile forces in supersensible worlds, launching cruel attacks on human beings, while they are being fed. Therefore, it is above all necessary to begin with that the person who enters the spiritual world overcomes fear, feelings of helplessness, despair and anxiety. But these are exactly the feelings that belong to contemporary culture and materialism; because it estranges people from the spiritual world, it is especially suited to evoke hopelessness and fear of the unknown in people, thereby calling up the above mentioned hostile forces against them.” ~Rudolf Steiner
With such profound global fear, anxiety, and panic over the present pandemic, many are exposing their own spiritual sicknesses and acquiescing to any recommended behavior or intervention that might alleviate these emotions. Along with this is the push to vaccinate 7 billion healthy people.
Nearly 100 years ago, in a series of 14 essays published under the title, The Fall of the Spirits of Darkness, Steiner issued a warning to future generations about a possible measure of mass control, quite similar to the visions presented by Orwell and Huxley. Steiner foresaw a future when vaccines could steal our spiritual nature.
First, some background:
“In these fourteen lectures, given at the end of 1917 following four years of war in Europe, Steiner speaks on the complex spiritual forces behind the World War I, humanity’s attempts to build theoretically perfect social orders, and the many divisions and disruptions that would continue on Earth into our own time. Humanity in general was asleep to the fact that fallen spirits, cast from the spiritual worlds, had become intensely active on Earth. This manifested mainly in human thinking and perception of the surrounding world. ” [Source]
The fall into such destructive slumber would be marked by an age of materialism and centralization of power, during which the influences of ‘spirits of darkness’ would inspire humans to devise new technologies and new means of oppression. Steiner comments:
“I have told you that the spirits of darkness are going to inspire their human hosts, in whom they will be dwelling, to find a vaccine that will drive all inclination toward spirituality out of people’s souls when they are still very young, and this will happen in a roundabout way through the living body. Today, bodies are vaccinated against one thing and another; in future, children will be vaccinated with a substance which it will certainly be possible to produce, and this will make them immune, so that they do not develop foolish inclinations connected with spiritual life – ‘foolish’ here, or course, in the eyes of materialists. . . . “. . . a way will finally be found to vaccinate bodies so that these bodies will not allow the inclination toward spiritual ideas to develop and all their lives people will believe only in the physical world they perceive with the senses. Out of impulses which the medical profession gained from presumption – oh, I beg your pardon, from the consumption [tuberculosis] they themselves suffered – people are now vaccinated against consumption, and in the same way they will be vaccinated against any inclination toward spirituality. This is merely to give you a particularly striking example of many things which will come in the near and more distant future in this field – the aim being to bring confusion into the impulses which want to stream down to earth after the victory of the [Michaelic] spirits of light [in 1879].” ~Rudolf Steiner
Steiner was talking only about vaccines here. His comment does not consider the compounded effects on human spirituality of the many myriad influences we have in our world today, all of which work against spiritual connection on their own right.
Again, if you’ve felt at all like you’re in a spiritual war, you’re not alone.

First Study on Cannabis as Insomnia Treatment Proves Successful for Chronic Patients
Phillip Schneider, Staff Writer
Waking Times
Australian researchers found promise in the world’s first ever placebo-controlled trial on the effectiveness of cannabis compounds in treating chronic insomnia.
The study was initiated in 2018 by an independent research team at the University of Western Australia, funded by a cannabis company known as Zelira Therapeutics.
Double blind and placebo-controlled protocols were used, making it the first of its kind to document the use of cannabis compounds in treating chronic insomnia as the primary condition.
“This study represents the most rigorous clinical trial ever undertaken to assess the therapeutic potential of medicinal cannabis to treat the symptoms of chronic insomnia.” – Peter Eastwood, Lead Researcher
During the trial period, 23 volunteers were given either a placebo or dose of a formulation made from the cannabis compounds THC and CBD in the form of an oil administered under the tongue.
Participants were given the option to take a single or double dose, and after two weeks were assessed by a questionnaire called the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), along with other subjective feedback and information acquired by wrist-based sleep trackers.
Every patient subject to the compound reported more time asleep and greater feelings of rest. Participants who took only single doses reported on average a 26 percent reduction in ISI scores compared to the placebo group, while double dosed patients observed a reduction of 36 percent.
The cannabis formula was made from a combination of THC and CBD, but the exact amounts were not disclosed and thus is referred to simply as ZTL-101.
“The fact that ZTL-101 treatment achieved statistically significant, dose responsive improvements across a broad range of key insomnia indices is impressive, particularly given the relatively short two-week dosing window.” – Peter Eastwood
In addition to treating insomnia, researchers have discovered a plethora of medicinal uses for the plant in recent years, including as a method to overcome opioid addiction, allay PTSD, and even to help battle certain types of cancer.
“Positive patient experiences with minimal side-effects are critical to the success of any insomnia drug,” says Eastwood. “It is likely that further improvements in efficacy could be achieved by dosing over a longer period and potentially at higher doses.”
Zelira Therapeutics has worked with several universities and hospitals to develop formulas intended to treat a wide array of conditions such as chronic pain, cancers, diabetes and autism.
Although the study has not been peer-reviewed or published in a scientific journal, their findings could begin a new wave of science-based cannabis formulas for better sleep, as it reinforces the plant’s positive effect on sleep that users often proclaim.
The company plans to release the formula as an over-the-counter treatment for insomnia later this year.

A Timeline—Pandemic and Erosion of Freedoms Have Been Decades in the Making From the moment of “ COVID-19 ’ s ” naming—and particularly since the imposition of unprecedented restrictions on “ life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness ” —some people have smelled a rat .
And with each passing week , the smell becomes worse .
A growing chorus of ordinary citizens and world-renowned medical and scientific experts is raising questions about matters ranging from the coronavirus ’ s origins to the rationale for continued lockdowns ( see here , here and here ) .
The mainstream media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lob ad hominem attacks against any and all such non-conformists .
However , one does not have to be insensitive to the illness and deaths associated with COVID-19 to recognize that powerful agendas are riding on the coattails of SARS-CoV-2 .
Citizens are waking up to the fact that the countries , officials and public figures who embrace draconian interventions such as immunity certificates , microchipping , forced vaccination and the removal of children from their homes also approve of making our sovereign rights—whether to earn a living , maintain bodily integrity , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the arts or protect and educate our children—contingent upon our acceptance of these Big Brother measures and technologies .
To make it easier for the public to assess what is happening and what is at stake , Children ’ s Health Defense has put together the following timeline of selected events .
We invite readers to consider how these events—some of them seemingly unrelated—and the network of partnerships and relationships that they illustrate have contributed to the unfolding set of circumstances in which we now find ourselves .

From the moment of “COVID-19’s” naming—and particularly since the imposition of unprecedented restrictions on “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”—some people have smelled a rat. And with each passing week, the smell becomes worse. A growing chorus of ordinary citizens and world-renowned medical and scientific experts is raising questions about matters ranging from the coronavirus’s origins to the rationale for continued lockdowns (see here, here and here).
The mainstream media have shown themselves only too ready to lob ad hominem attacks against any and all such non-conformists. However, one does not have to be insensitive to the illness and deaths associated with COVID-19 to recognize that powerful agendas are riding on the coattails of SARS-CoV-2. Citizens are waking up to the fact that the countries, officials and public figures who embrace draconian interventions such as immunity certificates, microchipping, forced vaccination and the removal of children from their homes also approve of making our sovereign rights—whether to earn a living, maintain bodily integrity, congregate to practice our spirituality, enjoy the arts or protect and educate our children—contingent upon our acceptance of these Big Brother measures and technologies.
To make it easier for the public to assess what is happening and what is at stake, Children’s Health Defense has put together the following timeline of selected events. We invite readers to consider how these events—some of them seemingly unrelated—and the network of partnerships and relationships that they illustrate have contributed to the unfolding set of circumstances in which we now find ourselves.
While the lockdown is a cataclysm for the world economy, it is an opportunity for Gates” and his billionaire brotherhood…
Notes/Explanatory Context
Gain-of-function research: COVID-19 has prompted renewed questioning about a long-debated branch of virology that, around 2012, scientists benignly rebranded as “gain-of-function” (GOF) research. GOF experiments seek to generate viruses “with properties that do not exist in nature” or, stated another way, “alter a pathogen to make it more transmissible or deadly.” One of the leading proponents of GOF work is Dr. Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (UNC), a “legend in coronavirology” and “trailblazer of synthetic genomic manipulation techniques” who specializes in engineering lethal coronaviruses from “mail-order DNA.” Baric and other GOF enthusiasts argue that this type of viral tinkering is “critical to the development of broad-based vaccines and therapeutics,” but critics, such as Dr. Thomas Inglesby (director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security), dispute this putative benefit.
Big Data and Big Telecom: Children’s Health Defense Chairman Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Dafna Tachover (director of CHD’s “Stop 5G and Wireless Harms Project”) wrote on May 8: “5G has almost nothing to do with improving your lives; it’s all about controlling your life, marketing products, and harvesting your data for Artificial Intelligence purposes. The 21st century’s ‘black gold’ is data.” They note that Bill Gates, along with a number of other players and companies, is helping set up a “microwave radiation-emitting spider web [that] will allow Big Data/Big Telecom and Big Brother to capture what happens inside and outside every person at every moment of life” using a sinister brain-machine interface and other technologies, many financed by Gates. In short, “While the lockdown is a cataclysm for the world economy, it is an opportunity for Gates” and his billionaire brotherhood, ably assisted by an unadmirable fleet of medical and scientist yes-men.

November 2002: China’s Guangdong province reports the first case of “atypical pneumonia” (later labeled as SARS).
The speed of the Baric group illustrates how quickly a qualified team of virologists can create a synthetic clone from a natural virus, and therefore make genetic modifications to it.
2003
October 28: A paper by the Baric research group at UNC describes their synthetic recreation of the “previously undescribed” SARS coronavirus. (Writing in 2020, a scientist states, “The speed of the Baric group illustrates how quickly a qualified team of virologists can create a synthetic clone from a natural virus, and therefore make genetic modifications to it. Moreover, that was back in 2003. Today, a qualified laboratory can repeat those steps in a matter of weeks.”)
2005
December: Congress approves the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, which authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) “to issue a PREP Act Declaration . . . that provides immunity from liability for any loss caused, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from administration or use of countermeasures to diseases, threats, and conditions determined in the Declaration to constitute a present or credible risk of a future public health emergency.”
2009

[T]hese data and restrictions represent a crossroads of [gain-of-function] research concerns; the potential to prepare for and mitigate future outbreaks must be weighed against the risk of creating more dangerous pathogens.>
2015
2015: NIAID, under Fauci, awards a five-year, $3.7 million grant to EcoHealth Alliance (whose director gets credit on subsequent publications for “funding acquisition” rather than scientific work) to conduct gain-of-function studies on the “risk of bat coronavirus emergence.” Ten percent of the award goes to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which does “the bulk of the on-the-ground sample collection and analysis.”

November 9: Baric and the Wuhan Institute’s Shi Zheng-Li (the leading GOF coronavirus researcher in China) publish what some refer to as “the most famous gain-of-function virology paper” (in Nature Medicine), describing their creation of a synthetic chimeric coronavirus. The authors state: “[T]hese data and restrictions represent a crossroads of GOF research concerns; the potential to prepare for and mitigate future outbreaks must be weighed against the risk of creating more dangerous pathogens [emphasis added]. In developing policies moving forward, it is important to consider the value of the data generated by these studies and whether these types of chimeric virus studies warrant further investigation versus the inherent risks involved.”
2016

Stop the conveyor belt
Around the world, many people are understandably reeling in shock at the rapid economic, social and cultural changes that have followed in the wake of the phenomenon called “COVID-19.” Many of these changes involve ever-tighter restrictions on our rights and freedoms, accompanied by inexorable messaging—both public and subliminal—that a “vaccine for all” and 24/7 tracking and surveillance are the only way out. Increasingly, however, there are hopeful signs that more members of the public are recognizing the duplicity and self-interest of those offering false salvation. Each of us needs to do our part to expose these issues, standing up for individual sovereignty and working to halt the transition “to a totalitarian singularity more despotic than Orwell ever imagined.”
