To all veterans , I want to join the rest of America and say thank you for your brave service .
However , as this article and Part Two of this series will point out , you veterans are no done defending your nation .
Are we as a nation “ dead in the water ” ?
Some people think that America has won some kind of great victory because Fauci and the DOJ are issuing warnings across the country to Democratic mayors and governors that they need to back off the people ’ s constitutional rights .
Where has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our country has been destroyed .
Our economy is in ruins , suicides are off the charts , our military is losing its ability to wage a long-term war against China and Russia , and America is showing very low signs of life in terms of defending our way of life .
So why would globalists like the Bill Gates bootlicker , Anthony Fauci tell the Democratic leadership to backdown against the people ?
The answer is simple : Some of America was beginning to show small signs of life and temporarily backing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ turning into a populist revolution like what we are seeing in Hong Kong .
But instead of 300,000 people in the streets in Asia , America might put 100 million people in the way of globalist policies of control .
Fauci ’ s move , as I stated yesterday , represents the “ pause ” technique , frequently employed in both physical and psychological torture .
This fall , there will be a second wave of oppression designed to crush what is left of the American spirit before the American genocide begins .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ we should be fighting for our country , there is another important battle that we have all but ignored .
Please allow me to say that there are more important things to save than the United States .
Hosea 4:6 states that ” my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge… ” The primary goal of our movement should be to awaken as many people as possible in order to save their souls , not solely to save their country .
Yes , we can still alert people as to the physical dangers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mandatory vaccines ) .
However , avoidance of the totality of the coming calamity will be short-lived .
The United States is firmly and fully under attack , it is just that most of our people are too ignorant to recognize this irrefutable fact !

Are we as a nation “dead in the water”?
Some people think that America has won some kind of great victory because Fauci and the DOJ are issuing warnings across the country to Democratic mayors and governors that they need to back off the people’s constitutional rights. Where has this been? In 10 weeks, our country has been destroyed. Our economy is in ruins, suicides are off the charts, our military is losing its ability to wage a long-term war against China and Russia, and America is showing very low signs of life in terms of defending our way of life. So why would globalists like the Bill Gates bootlicker, Anthony Fauci tell the Democratic leadership to backdown against the people? The answer is simple: Some of America was beginning to show small signs of life and temporarily backing off could prevent a small awakening from turning into a populist revolution like what we are seeing in Hong Kong. But instead of 300,000 people in the streets in Asia, America might put 100 million people in the way of globalist policies of control. Fauci’s move, as I stated yesterday, represents the “pause” technique, frequently employed in both physical and psychological torture. This fall, there will be a second wave of oppression designed to crush what is left of the American spirit before the American genocide begins.
Although I strongly support the notion that we should be fighting for our country, there is another important battle that we have all but ignored. Please allow me to say that there are more important things to save than the United States. Hosea 4:6 states that ” my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge…” The primary goal of our movement should be to awaken as many people as possible in order to save their souls, not solely to save their country. Yes, we can still alert people as to the physical dangers so they can avoid them (ie mandatory vaccines). However, avoidance of the totality of the coming calamity will be short-lived. The United States is firmly and fully under attack, it is just that most of our people are too ignorant to recognize this irrefutable fact!

revolutionradio--2020-05-25--Employee Health Screening Apps Are Coming – Proceed With Caution

COVID-19 and the resultant business and economic freeze may very well prove to be the largest global event occurring in any of our lifetimes .
The loss of lives , livelihoods , businesses and long term effects on mental health and culture are far from complete , yet already devastating .
Now , employers grapple with the most significant decision they are likely to ever make : when to come back to work and how .
Many employers will be lured into the siren song of safety above all else and succumb to a balancing act that tips heavily in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ liberty .
I fully understand the impetus .
Employers find themselves in a tricky Catch-22 .
They must do that which is reasonable to protect the health and safety of their workers without trampling on employee privacy , health or liberty .
As the attorneys at Ropes & Gray LLP point out , “ [ e ] mployers looking to introduce these apps may point to their duty under the Occupational Safety and Health Act ( “ OSHA ” ) to furnish to workers ’ employment and a place of employment , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm .

As Benjamin Franklin wrote famously in the Pennsylvania Assembly ’ s 1755 reply to the Governor , Those who would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a little temporary Safety , deserve neither Liberty nor Safety .
Ropes & Gray nicely summarized these points as such : Because of contact-tracing apps ’ intrusive nature and the laws discussed above , employer-required or employer-implemented electronic contact tracing could be viewed as overreaching .

COVID-19 and the resultant business and economic freeze may very well prove to be the largest global event occurring in any of our lifetimes. The loss of lives, livelihoods, businesses and long term effects on mental health and culture are far from complete, yet already devastating. Now, employers grapple with the most significant decision they are likely to ever make: when to come back to work and how.
Many employers will be lured into the siren song of safety above all else and succumb to a balancing act that tips heavily in favor of control and surveillance over individual liberty. I fully understand the impetus. Employers find themselves in a tricky Catch-22. They must do that which is reasonable to protect the health and safety of their workers without trampling on employee privacy, health or liberty.
As the attorneys at Ropes & Gray LLP point out, “[e]mployers looking to introduce these apps may point to their duty under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”) to furnish to workers ’employment and a place of employment, which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm.'” But as Americans, we have far more individual liberty protection than people in the Asian countries that are months ahead of us and have already implemented sever state, local and employer controls. For example, “China has already introduced virtual health checks, contact tracing and digital QR codes to limit the movement of people. Antibody test results could easily be integrated into this system.”
Beyond any employer’s legal analysis (which is undoubtedly important) the cultural differences in the United States should oblige employers to proceed with more than a modicum of caution. We have a vast network of federal, state, local and employment laws and regulations protecting our individual liberties. What’s more is that inherent and deep love for liberty embedded in our Constitution and our core as a people. American was founded on the concept that liberty outweighs security. As Benjamin Franklin wrote famously in the Pennsylvania Assembly’s 1755 reply to the Governor,
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
Ropes & Gray nicely summarized these points as such:
Because of contact-tracing apps’ intrusive nature and the laws discussed above, employer-required or employer-implemented electronic contact tracing could be viewed as overreaching. These concerns would be heightened for an employer seeking to implement a blanket requirement that all employees must install and use the app, or seeking to gather and use COVID-19 data of employees when they are off duty. As such, any employer-implemented program should be carefully designed, reviewed, and vetted. In general, consent-based approaches will be easier to implement, particularly if the consent, even if opt-out, is prominent and comprehensive notice of how the information will be used is provided. …
Finally, public fear of government and corporate mass surveillance is well established. As such, employers may encounter considerable resistance if they require (or even strongly encourage) installation of these apps on employees’ personal smart phones, which have large amounts of personal data and are already subject to heightened legal protections.
Behemoth corporations are now lining up to create such apps. Google, Apple, Microsoft and UnitedHealth are all working on projects to gather up as much as possible about your employees’ health and report some of that data back to you. And while none of these companies have discussed going quite this far, Natalie Kofler & Françoise Baylis writing at Nature asked us to:
Imagine a world where your ability to get a job, housing or a loan depends on passing a blood test. You are confined to your home and locked out of society if you lack certain antibodies.
It has happened before. For most of the nineteenth century, immunity to yellow fever divided people in New Orleans, Louisiana, between the ‘acclimated’ who had survived yellow fever and the ‘unacclimated’, who had not had the disease1. Lack of immunity dictated whom people could marry, where they could work, and, for those forced into slavery, how much they were worth. Presumed immunity concentrated political and economic power in the hands of the wealthy elite, and was weaponized to justify white supremacy.
Something similar could be our dystopian future if governments introduce ‘immunity passports’ in efforts to reverse the economic catastrophe of the COVID-19 pandemic. The idea is that such certificates would be issued to those who have recovered and tested positive for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 — the coronavirus that causes the disease. Authorities would lift restrictions on those who are presumed to have immunity, allowing them to return to work, to socialize and to travel. This idea has so many flaws that it is hard to know where to begin.

As we kickoff trading in the final week of May , one of the top money managers in the world said China is going to unleash the gold price along with a new monetary system .
China Will Send Gold Soaring May 25 ( King World News ) – Dr. Stephen Leeb : Investors who have long had a particular interest in gold are surely asking themselves : How does the pandemic that originated in China and swept through the world impact the outlook for the metal ?
My assessment ?
It will only speed up what already was inevitable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ march in ways that will send gold soaring .
The pandemic will make it easier for China to broaden its already sizable lead over the West in all those characteristics that position an economy to define what a monetary reserve system should look like .
And China , as I ’ ve been arguing , will use that edge to create a new monetary system that will likely be a basket of currencies but that certainly will be backed by gold .
$ 20,000 Gold I ’ m still guessing that ultimately this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so .
But one lesson everyone should take away from this pandemic is humility .

May 25 (King World News) – Dr. Stephen Leeb: Investors who have long had a particular interest in gold are surely asking themselves: How does the pandemic that originated in China and swept through the world impact the outlook for the metal?
My assessment? It will only speed up what already was inevitable, i.e., China’s forward march in ways that will send gold soaring.
The pandemic will make it easier for China to broaden its already sizable lead over the West in all those characteristics that position an economy to define what a monetary reserve system should look like. And China, as I’ve been arguing, will use that edge to create a new monetary system that will likely be a basket of currencies but that certainly will be backed by gold.
$20,000 Gold
I’m still guessing that ultimately this will lift gold to $20,000 or so. But one lesson everyone should take away from this pandemic is humility. The world throws a lot of curve balls, and the world could change in any number of unforeseen ways. Still, the more unexpected changes, the more likely that gold will be the one investment that’s utterly essential to own.

revolutionradio--2020-05-25--“Like It Was Designed To Infect Humans”: COVID-19 ‘Cell Culture’ Theory Gains Steam

A scientific study which found COVID-19 may have been a “ cell-culture ” uniquely adapted for transmission to humans ( more so than any other animal – including bats ) , is gaining steam .
The paper , currently under peer review , comes from Flinders University Professor Nikolai Petrovsky , who has spent over two decades developing vaccines against influenza , Ebola , and animal Sars .
He says his findings allow for the possibility that COVID-19 leaked from a laboratory , according to Sky News .
“ The two possibilities which I think are both still open is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a virus from an as yet unidentified animal to human .
The other possibility is that it was an accidental release of the virus from a laboratory , ” said Petrovsky , adding “ Certainly we can ’ t exclude the possibility that this came from a laboratory experiment rather than from an animal .
They are both open possibilities.
” Professor Petrovsky , who is the Chairman and Research Director of Vaxine Pty Ltd , said COVID-19 has genetic elements similar to bat coronaviruses as well as other coronaviruses .
The way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a protein on the surface of lung-cells called ACE2 .
The study showed the virus bound more tightly to human-ACE2 than to any of the other animals they tested .
“ It was like it was designed to infect humans , ” he said .
“ One of the possibilities is that an animal host was infected by two coronaviruses at the same time and COVID-19 is the progeny of that interaction between the two viruses .
-Sky News “ The same process can happen in a petri-dish , ” added Petrovsky @ @ @ @ @ @ @ culture and you have human cells in that culture which the viruses are infecting , then if there are two viruses in that dish , they can swap genetic information and you can accidentally or deliberately create a whole third new virus out of that system.
” “ In other words COVID-19 could have been created from that recombination event in an animal host or it could have occurred in a cell-culture experiment.
” In January , Petrovsky began modeling the virus to try and create a vaccine candidate .
According to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ what animal species might have been involved in the transmission to humans ” in order to better understand the origins of the virus , when he discovered how well it infects humans over other species .
“ We found that the COVID-19 virus was particularly well-adapted to bind to human cells and that was far superior to its ability to bind to the cells of any other animal species which is quite unusual because typically when a virus is well-adapted to an animal and then it by chance crosses to a human @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to have lower-binding to human cells than to the original host animal .
We found the opposite so that was a big surprise , ” he said .
When asked why mainstream scientists are still clinging to the theory that the virus originated in a Wuhan wet market , he said that scientists “ try not to be political ” but that that scientists who support the lab escape theory risk negatively impacting their industry with tighter laboratory controls .
“ For instance , if it was to turn out that this virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accidental lab release that would have implications for how we do viral research in laboratories all around the world which could make doing research much harder , ” he said , adding “ So I think the inclination of virus researchers would be to presume that it came from an animal until proven otherwise because that would have less ramifications for how we are able to do research in the future .
The alternative obviously has quite major implications for science and science on viruses , not just obviously political ramifications which we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Petrovsky has called for immediate investigation now , and not when the pandemic is over – calling any delay in fact finding a “ mistake.
” “ I ’ m certainly very much in favour of a scientific investigation .
It ’ s only objective should be to get to the bottom of how did this pandemic happen and how do we prevent a future pandemic… .

A scientific study which found COVID-19 may have been a “cell-culture” uniquely adapted for transmission to humans (more so than any other animal – including bats), is gaining steam.
The paper, currently under peer review, comes from Flinders University Professor Nikolai Petrovsky, who has spent over two decades developing vaccines against influenza, Ebola, and animal Sars. He says his findings allow for the possibility that COVID-19 leaked from a laboratory, according to Sky News.
“The two possibilities which I think are both still open is that it was a chance transmission of a virus from an as yet unidentified animal to human. The other possibility is that it was an accidental release of the virus from a laboratory,” said Petrovsky, adding “Certainly we can’t exclude the possibility that this came from a laboratory experiment rather than from an animal. They are both open possibilities.”
Professor Petrovsky, who is the Chairman and Research Director of Vaxine Pty Ltd, said COVID-19 has genetic elements similar to bat coronaviruses as well as other coronaviruses.
The way coronavirus enters human cells is by binding to a protein on the surface of lung-cells called ACE2. The study showed the virus bound more tightly to human-ACE2 than to any of the other animals they tested.
“It was like it was designed to infect humans,” he said.
“One of the possibilities is that an animal host was infected by two coronaviruses at the same time and COVID-19 is the progeny of that interaction between the two viruses. -Sky News
“The same process can happen in a petri-dish,” added Petrovsky. “If you have cells in culture and you have human cells in that culture which the viruses are infecting, then if there are two viruses in that dish, they can swap genetic information and you can accidentally or deliberately create a whole third new virus out of that system.”
“In other words COVID-19 could have been created from that recombination event in an animal host or it could have occurred in a cell-culture experiment.”
In January, Petrovsky began modeling the virus to try and create a vaccine candidate. According to the report, he then began to explore “what animal species might have been involved in the transmission to humans” in order to better understand the origins of the virus, when he discovered how well it infects humans over other species.
“We found that the COVID-19 virus was particularly well-adapted to bind to human cells and that was far superior to its ability to bind to the cells of any other animal species which is quite unusual because typically when a virus is well-adapted to an animal and then it by chance crosses to a human, typically, you would expect it to have lower-binding to human cells than to the original host animal. We found the opposite so that was a big surprise,” he said.
When asked why mainstream scientists are still clinging to the theory that the virus originated in a Wuhan wet market, he said that scientists “try not to be political” but that that scientists who support the lab escape theory risk negatively impacting their industry with tighter laboratory controls.
“For instance, if it was to turn out that this virus may have come about because of an accidental lab release that would have implications for how we do viral research in laboratories all around the world which could make doing research much harder,” he said, adding “So I think the inclination of virus researchers would be to presume that it came from an animal until proven otherwise because that would have less ramifications for how we are able to do research in the future. The alternative obviously has quite major implications for science and science on viruses, not just obviously political ramifications which we’re all well aware of.”
Petrovsky has called for immediate investigation now, and not when the pandemic is over – calling any delay in fact finding a “mistake.”
“I’m certainly very much in favour of a scientific investigation. It’s only objective should be to get to the bottom of how did this pandemic happen and how do we prevent a future pandemic…. not to have a witch-hunt.”

To me, the pinnacle of preparedness is a way of thinking about pretty much everything you encounter. It’s a unique way of looking at a situation, assessing the options, and acting that defines the prepper mindset. Think about any stressful situation that has ever happened to you. Once you accepted the fact that it had happened you were able to set a course of action. Once you had definitive steps to take, you probably felt much calmer. You took control of the things you could, and you executed your plan. Only by taking that first step – accepting that this mishap had indeed occurred – could you take the next two.
