1. Sing-Me-A-Song
Sing Me a Song, the new feature from acclaimed documentary filmmaker Thomas Balmès (Babies, Happiness), follows Peyangki, a young monk living in a rural monastery in Bhutan. When TV and the Internet come to the remote country, Peyangki is lured by the power of smartphones, which now compete with the rituals of monastery life. Unexpected and profound, Peyangki’s journey challenges us to reassess our own perceptions of relatedness and self-worth in an age of unparalleled connectivity. As highlighted by Courtney Howard from her Variety review, “Thomas Balmès’ profound documentary explores the ripple-effect ramifications of a seemingly positive invention perverting an unspoiled community.” We are compelled to wonder if technology has really made us more evolved or perhaps it’s the other way around?
WHERE TO WATCH IT: On CGOOD TV from January 14th-30th 2021
2. The ReUnited States
The Reunited States is a hopeful and deftly crafted documentary that follows several individuals who are committed to finding ways to heal the deep divide within our country. The filmmaker, Ben Rekhi, respectfully shares the hearts, souls, and stories of these individuals, true American heroes. A few of the people profiled include Susan Bro, who lost her daughter when a car drove through a crowd in Charlottesville; Steven Olikara, the founder of the Millenial Action Project, a bipartisan coalition of 1,500 young lawmakers; Greg Orman, an independent politician who ran for Governor of Kansas in 2018;

3. My Octopus Teacher
South African naturalist, Craig Foster closely follows a female octopus for a year and the result is nothing short of astonishing. We witness Foster’s obsession with his shape-shifting muse through a personal narrative that evokes a love-letter. Through his eyes, we don’t just witness the life of this other-worldly creature but become emotionally involved with her in a way that elevates the film from scientific exploration to a completely immersive experience. Co-director James Reed ponders this emerging kind of nature documentary: “Hopefully the lesson is that, actually, everywhere you turn there are complex personalities in nature that just haven’t been documented yet.” What March of the Penguins did for the penguin – igniting a worldwide love fest – this film does for the octopus. Fall in love with your new favorite.

4. The Secret: Dare To Dream
Starring Katie Holmes (Miranda Wells) and Josh Lucas (Bray Johnson), “The Secret: Dare to Dream” is inspired by the phenomenally successful 2006 book, “The Secret”, by Rhonda Byrne. Like the book, the film is infused with the principles of the Laws of Attraction. Without spoilers, the two main characters literally crash into each other in a minor fender bender, setting up a chain of events that involve a storm, a missing message, personal transformation, romance, and humor. Throughout the film, the enigmatic Bray’s musings on life echo the philosophy of Byrne’s book. The lesson is that in learning how to turn off automatic patterns of thought our minds become open to new and more empowering ways of thinking. As Bray says, “we have to be careful because we get what we expect”, and therein lies the ‘secret’ to happiness. Ultimately, this family film is a feel-good love story that draws you in and will warm even the coldest of hearts.

5. Kiss The Ground
Kiss the Ground is a full-length documentary narrated by Woody Harrelson that sheds light on a “new, old approach” to farming called “regenerative agriculture” that has the potential to balance our climate, replenish our vast water supplies, and feed the world. This film comes to us at a time when the health of our ecological systems is fragile. Understanding the root origin of how we thrive as humans are essential in empowering everyday citizens to make small but meaningful changes to their daily lives for the better.

6. Infinite Potential: The Life & Ideas of David Bohm
A transformational journey through the mystery of consciousness, Paul Howard’s film is surprisingly accessible for those of us who have never taken a physics course. David Bohm, one of the 20th Century’s most brilliant physicists, was Albert Einstein’s spiritual son and the Dalai Lama’s “science guru.” Not only does Bohm discover through science Quantum Potential, but he also unites these discoveries with Eastern wisdom, firmly establishing the interconnectedness of all things. Infinite Potential includes interviews with luminaries such as H.H. the Dalai Lama, esteemed artist Antony Gormley, Oxford philosopher and physicist Sir Roger Penrose, and many more who were influenced by Bohm’s revolutionary work.

7. The Social Dilemma
The documentary examines the effect that a handful of leading digital social media platforms, including but not limited to Google, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have over the public; it is emphasized that a relatively small number of engineers make decisions that impact billions of people. The alarm bells have been sounded for years, but have been layered in tech jargon and a lot of consumer confusion. The Social Dilemma strips away the tech talk and speaks to the human impacts of these connected platforms that seem to be fragmenting society more than they are connecting them.

9. A Life On Our Planet
Growing up in the UK, David Attenborough inspired my passion for world travel and nature. Now 93, this icon who practically invented the nature documentary genre, lays bare his ‘witness statement’ for the environment. In his lifetime, Attenborough has watched with horror as the planet’s biodiversity has degenerated before his eyes. His utter sadness is revealed in Close-up shots of a face that has seen the advent of global air travel, the first images of the earth from the moon, and the astonishing beauty of the natural world. Yes, we grieve with him, but all is not lost. This beloved man lifts our spirits and raises consciousness with solutions that will save the planet if we act quickly.

consciouslifenews--2020-12-30--COVID Conflicts: Asymptomatic Testing, Lack of Danger to Kids

“ There 's clearly , in plain sight , huge worldwide organizations who need this crisis and who are fermenting panic for eight months now , ” Cummins said .
“ Why they 're doing it you can argue but the fact that they 're doing it is plain and obvious ” Countries that used minimal masks and did not have mandated lockdowns were not worse off than neighboring countries with mask mandates and mandatory lockdowns Sheftall studied mask usage extensively and found mask mandates did not noticeably change the number of cases or deaths the way they should if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infection mortality rate that is equal to or less than the flu , making school closures unnecessary because they ’ re not closed down for flu , which is a much deadlier disease than COVID-19 in that age group Ivor Cummins is a biochemical engineer with a background in medical device engineering and leading teams in complex problem-solving .
On his website , TheFatEmperor.com,1 he offers guidance on how to decode science to transform your health .
In a podcast from December 11 , 2020 , he interviewed Dr. Reid Sheftall about SARS-CoV-2 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sheftall is an intelligent surgeon , having scored in the 99.95 percentile on the SATs and off the scale on his medical board and surgical board exams .
He begins by explaining that the SARS-CoV-2 is only 100 nanometers in diameter , which is smaller by one-fourth than the SARS-2 virus , which is only 100 nanometers in diameter , which is smaller , by one-fourth , than the shortest wavelength that we can see in the visible spectrum .
He 's been using social media to write essays about different aspects of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enacted because of what he calls “ mistakes that were made early on ” in the pandemic .
Here are seven of Sheftall 's predictions and corrections , along with the date on which he made them , which are covered in more detail during the interview : • Sars-CoV-2 has an infection mortality rate that is equal to or less than the flu ( March 15 ) .
• Masks wo n't reduce the transmissibility ( March 15 ) , but experts still say they do .
• Lockdowns not only will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and destruction , including loss of jobs and insurance , life savings , and other resources , up to and including loss of life ( March 17 ) .
Experts are still lobbying for use of lockdowns .
• We should not close schools because we do n't close them for the flu , which is a much deadlier disease than SARS-2 in that age group ( March 18 ) .
• The reason the cases and deaths are so low in Asian countries is not because of better testing , racing , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said and continue to say , but is because of “ immunity in place ” due to cross-reactivity of SARS-2 with previously encountered coronaviruses .
This is mediated by cross-reacting memory B and T cells , secretory IgA ( August 10 , not yet proven ) .
• We 're not experiencing “ second waves ” in the U.S .
They are the first waves in different parts of the country as the virus marches through different climate types in different regions ( August 10 ) .
• There are not 40 million @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at least 160 million ( October 17 ) .
Infection Fatality Rate Has Been Wrong Since the Beginning Early on during the pandemic , infection mortality rate claims varied from 2.7 % to 7 % , with most being in the 4 % range .
According to Sheftall , that 's “ about 40 times too high ” and ended up causing panic and fear in the public .
He figured out the infection mortality rate was wrong because he noticed something important : The wide fluctuations in mortality rates did n't add @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was being used in the counting of cases , and organizations such as the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were drastically undercounting the number of people who were infected , which inflated the mortality rate .
Sheftall looked for data in which every case had been counted , ending up with a cruise ship , in which every person had been tested , and a small town in Germany that had also tested all residents .
“ When I crunched the numbers , the infection fatality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so I knew … there were some gross errors going on.
” Sheftall posted his findings on Facebook , only to be told he was wrong .
He then wrote letters to Fox and CNN , hoping to share the information with the public , but he did n't hear back .
Other experts , like Stanford University 's disease prevention chairman Dr. John Ioannidis — an epidemiologist who has made a name for himself by exposing bad science — have also criticized global lockdown measures , saying they were implemented based on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Like Sheftall , Ioannidis suggested the infection fatality rate was actually 0.05 % to 1 % , with a median of about 0.25 % .2 Sheftall cites COVID-19 survival rates by age , posted by the CDC on September 10 , 2020 , which are as follows : This translates into a 0.1 % infection fatality rate , using the CDC 's own numbers — and the CDC is one of the agencies that cited a 4 % infection fatality rate early on .
Sheftall could n't find data on the survival rate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years , but he did uncover that there were 51 COVID-19 deaths reported in that age range from March 1 to September 10 , 2020 .
“ Now there are 56.4 million students in elementary , middle and high school in the United States so that means the chances by population , not by infection but by population , are less than 1 in a million per year for a student in school , and that 's very important because we 've shut down the schools in America , which causes a lot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Given these numbers , shutting down schools “ makes absolutely no sense , ” as he noted that every year more than 200 school-aged children , on average , die from the flu during a five-month flu season .
“ So , if you want to be consistent … if you 're going to close the schools for SARS-CoV-2 you must close them every year for the flu because it 's actually much more severe in the school-age group.
” But closing schools has consequences , as has been made readily apparent during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ common — “ they did a survey in Boston and only half the children were logging in ” to virtual learning , Sheftall said , while others do n't have money for a computer or internet connection .
Other issues that may have been picked up on at school , like problems with vision or hearing , or cases of abuse , may also go unnoticed .
According to The Atlantic 's COVID Tracking Project , more than 230.3 million COVID-19 tests have been conducted in the U.S. as of December 20 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tests conducted on people with no symptoms .
The costs for such testing could be used for a more productive purpose , according to Sheftall .
Cummins also notes that “ it 's kind of unethical and it 's against the good practice ” to test asymptomatic people at such a massive rate .
“ The whole basis of medicine , ” he says , is to test people with symptoms so you can find out what 's wrong and treat them accordingly .
Sheftall continues : During a June 8 , 2020 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the World Health Organization 's technical lead for the COVID-19 pandemic , made it very clear that asymptomatic transmission is very rare , meaning an individual who tests positive but does not exhibit symptoms is highly unlikely to transmit the live virus to others .
A study in Nature Communications also found “ there was no evidence of transmission from asymptomatic positive persons to traced close contacts.
” 4 Meanwhile , the COVID-19 tests are problematic in and of themselves .
These positive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR ) tests have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ large portions of the world locked down for the better part of 2020 , despite the fact that PCR tests have proven remarkably unreliable with high false result rates .
A positive test does not actually mean that an active infection is present .
The PCR swab collects RNA from your nasal cavity .
This RNA is then reverse transcribed into DNA .
However , the genetic snippets are so small they must be amplified in order to become discernible .
What this does is amplify any , even insignificant sequences of viral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ point that the test reads “ positive , ” even if the viral load is extremely low or the virus is inactive .
According to Sheftall : Sheftall also compiled daily new deaths for six countries , including the United Kingdom , France , Italy , Spain , Germany , and Sweden .
All of them have similar death curves , despite whether they instituted lockdowns or not .
He also found a graph ( pictured at 40 minutes in the video ) in which scientists compared the number of cases in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the government , including the degree of lockdown , group restrictions , and mask mandates .
“ You can see that there 's no reverse correlation like you would expect … if the measures are not stringent you should see more cases , according to their thinking … [ but ] it 's the exact opposite of what the people were saying , ” Sheftall said .
In fact , the graph largely shows lower cases when less stringent measures were taken .
“ It 's the same with mask introductions , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ look at around 10 or 12 countries where they brought in mask mandates , there was no impact on the curve … whatsoever so the empirical science of our own eyes is screaming at us : Masks and lockdowns do n't really move the needle much , maybe a little , but no one wants to know .
It 's an ideology now .
It 's a religion.
” Sheftall studied mask usage extensively and found mask mandates did not noticeably change the number of cases or deaths the way they should if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ used minimal masks were not worse off than neighboring countries with mask mandates .
“ Due to statements by experts and CNN commercials claiming that masks prevent viral spread , mass hysteria descended on the world over the wearing of masks , ” he said .
There have been cases of hot coffee being thrown in the faces of people not wearing masks , fines issued , and other hysteria , over a measure that 's not proven to work .
In fact , in the first randomized controlled trial of more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surgical face masks against SARS-CoV-2 infection found masks did not statistically significantly reduce the incidence of infection .
Among mask wearers , 1.8 % ended up testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 , compared to 2.1 % among controls.5 When they removed the people who did not adhere to proper mask use , the results remained the same — 1.8 % , which suggests adherence makes no significant difference .
When the science flies in the face of the restrictions being imposed , it becomes clear that there 's a sinister hidden agenda .
Many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and have been “ fermenting panic for the past eight months .
Why they 're doing it you can argue but the fact that they 're doing it is plain and obvious , ” Cummins said , adding : Ultimately , Cummins believes there 's not one “ single evil genius stroking a cat ” that orchestrated a conspiracy , but rather COVID-19 presented an opportunity that multiple entities have used to further their own agendas .
What you can do now is keep your eyes open and your ears tuned to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ victim to the unnecessary panic and fear they are seeking to cause :

“There's clearly, in plain sight, huge worldwide organizations who need this crisis and who are fermenting panic for eight months now,” Cummins said. “Why they're doing it you can argue but the fact that they're doing it is plain and obvious”
Countries that used minimal masks and did not have mandated lockdowns were not worse off than neighboring countries with mask mandates and mandatory lockdowns
Sheftall studied mask usage extensively and found mask mandates did not noticeably change the number of cases or deaths the way they should if they actually reduce transmissibility
Sars-CoV-2 has an infection mortality rate that is equal to or less than the flu, making school closures unnecessary because they’re not closed down for flu, which is a much deadlier disease than COVID-19 in that age group
Ivor Cummins is a biochemical engineer with a background in medical device engineering and leading teams in complex problem-solving. On his website, TheFatEmperor.com,1 he offers guidance on how to decode science to transform your health. In a podcast from December 11, 2020, he interviewed Dr. Reid Sheftall about SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Sheftall is an intelligent surgeon, having scored in the 99.95 percentile on the SATs and off the scale on his medical board and surgical board exams. He begins by explaining that the SARS-CoV-2 is only 100 nanometers in diameter, which is smaller by one-fourth than the SARS-2 virus, which is only 100 nanometers in diameter, which is smaller, by one-fourth, than the shortest wavelength that we can see in the visible spectrum.
He's been using social media to write essays about different aspects of the virus and the policies that were enacted because of what he calls “mistakes that were made early on” in the pandemic. Here are seven of Sheftall's predictions and corrections, along with the date on which he made them, which are covered in more detail during the interview:
Sars-CoV-2 has an infection mortality rate that is equal to or less than the flu (March 15). Masks won't reduce the transmissibility (March 15), but experts still say they do. Lockdowns not only will not work but will cause much death and destruction, including loss of jobs and insurance, life savings, and other resources, up to and including loss of life (March 17). Experts are still lobbying for use of lockdowns. We should not close schools because we don't close them for the flu, which is a much deadlier disease than SARS-2 in that age group (March 18). The reason the cases and deaths are so low in Asian countries is not because of better testing, racing, and lockdowns, as the experts have said and continue to say, but is because of “immunity in place” due to cross-reactivity of SARS-2 with previously encountered coronaviruses.

There are not 40 million cases in the U.S. There are at least 160 million (October 17).
Infection Fatality Rate Has Been Wrong Since the Beginning
Early on during the pandemic, infection mortality rate claims varied from 2.7% to 7%, with most being in the 4% range. According to Sheftall, that's “about 40 times too high” and ended up causing panic and fear in the public. He figured out the infection mortality rate was wrong because he noticed something important: The wide fluctuations in mortality rates didn't add up:
“As a surgeon, we noticed that surgical outcomes are very close. From a very good surgeon to a very mediocre surgeon, the mortality and morbidity is very close.
Yet, when I heard the information about what had happened in Italy, where 7%, supposedly, of the people infected were dying and in Germany, where it was much lower, I'm thinking that doesn't make sense because the Italians would call their German colleagues and find out if something was being done differently and change something, and the rate should be very close to the same. So, I knew there was a problem.”
Sheftall suggested that selection bias was being used in the counting of cases, and organizations such as the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were drastically undercounting the number of people who were infected, which inflated the mortality rate.
Sheftall looked for data in which every case had been counted, ending up with a cruise ship, in which every person had been tested, and a small town in Germany that had also tested all residents. “When I crunched the numbers, the infection fatality rate came out to 0.14%, so I knew … there were some gross errors going on.”
Sheftall posted his findings on Facebook, only to be told he was wrong. He then wrote letters to Fox and CNN, hoping to share the information with the public, but he didn't hear back.
“What happened, unfortunately, is that everybody accepted those numbers as gospel, if you will, and proceeded to make models that were way off. Epidemiologists appeared on television, and they were way off.
The general population, as I said before, began to panic and then the politicians were able to — and I'm not saying they were nefarious in this — but they were able to institute some policies, which were extremely destructive … I don't think the general public would have agreed to lockdowns, for example, if they had known that the infection fatality rate is 0.1% … the same as the flu.”
Other experts, like Stanford University's disease prevention chairman Dr. John Ioannidis — an epidemiologist who has made a name for himself by exposing bad science — have also criticized global lockdown measures, saying they were implemented based on flawed modeling and grossly unreliable data. Like Sheftall, Ioannidis suggested the infection fatality rate was actually 0.05% to 1%, with a median of about 0.25%.2
Shutting Down Schools ‘Makes Absolutely No Sense'
Sheftall cites COVID-19 survival rates by age, posted by the CDC on September 10, 2020, which are as follows:
Ages birth to 19: 99.997%
Ages 20 to 49: 99.98%
Ages 50 to 69: 99.5%
Ages 70 and up: 94.6%
This translates into a 0.1% infection fatality rate, using the CDC's own numbers — and the CDC is one of the agencies that cited a 4% infection fatality rate early on. Sheftall couldn't find data on the survival rate of school-aged children from 5 to 17 years, but he did uncover that there were 51 COVID-19 deaths reported in that age range from March 1 to September 10, 2020.
“Now there are 56.4 million students in elementary, middle and high school in the United States so that means the chances by population, not by infection but by population, are less than 1 in a million per year for a student in school, and that's very important because we've shut down the schools in America, which causes a lot of problems,” he said.
Given these numbers, shutting down schools “makes absolutely no sense,” as he noted that every year more than 200 school-aged children, on average, die from the flu during a five-month flu season. “So, if you want to be consistent … if you're going to close the schools for SARS-CoV-2 you must close them every year for the flu because it's actually much more severe in the school-age group.”
But closing schools has consequences, as has been made readily apparent during the pandemic. Interruptions in learning are common — “they did a survey in Boston and only half the children were logging in” to virtual learning, Sheftall said, while others don't have money for a computer or internet connection. Other issues that may have been picked up on at school, like problems with vision or hearing, or cases of abuse, may also go unnoticed.
Asymptomatic Testing Goes ‘Against Good Practice'
According to The Atlantic's COVID Tracking Project, more than 230.3 million COVID-19 tests have been conducted in the U.S. as of December 20, 2020,3 which includes an unknown number of tests conducted on people with no symptoms.
The costs for such testing could be used for a more productive purpose, according to Sheftall. Cummins also notes that “it's kind of unethical and it's against the good practice” to test asymptomatic people at such a massive rate. “The whole basis of medicine,” he says, is to test people with symptoms so you can find out what's wrong and treat them accordingly. Sheftall continues:
“In 2017 to 2018 … between 70 and 80 million people in America got the flu … nobody noticed for the most part and no one was tested. I'm a doctor and I vaguely remember that it was a bad flu season. That was it. And yet with COVID we're testing so many people you wouldn't believe it.”
During a June 8, 2020, press briefing, Maria Van Kerkhove, the World Health Organization's technical lead for the COVID-19 pandemic, made it very clear that asymptomatic transmission is very rare, meaning an individual who tests positive but does not exhibit symptoms is highly unlikely to transmit the live virus to others.
A study in Nature Communications also found “there was no evidence of transmission from asymptomatic positive persons to traced close contacts.”4 Meanwhile, the COVID-19 tests are problematic in and of themselves.
These positive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests have been used as the justification for keeping large portions of the world locked down for the better part of 2020, despite the fact that PCR tests have proven remarkably unreliable with high false result rates.
A positive test does not actually mean that an active infection is present. The PCR swab collects RNA from your nasal cavity. This RNA is then reverse transcribed into DNA. However, the genetic snippets are so small they must be amplified in order to become discernible.
What this does is amplify any, even insignificant sequences of viral DNA that might be present to the point that the test reads “positive,” even if the viral load is extremely low or the virus is inactive. According to Sheftall:
“When we see all these positive cases, some of them are older than they're letting on. They're calling them new cases. The test looks for messenger RNA fragments in the oral pharynx, OK? It's the swab test. It's an antigen test, OK, as opposed to an antibody test.
And those fragments can stay in there for months after the patient has recovered. That's No. 1. And No. 2, think of the name — it's polymerase chain reaction. The PCR test is an amplification test. It can take a tiny fragment and amplify it into a billion fragments …
There are different types of immunological responses to a pathogen, one of which is the barrier immunity. And you can have fragments of messenger RNA in your oral pharynx and have never gotten sick from the disease, never even registered on the scale, no bullet, no signal, no nothing because the barrier immunity injured the viruses early on and broke them into pieces, and then the PCR picks it up as a new test.”
Masks, Lockdowns Don't Work
Sheftall also compiled daily new deaths for six countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and Sweden. All of them have similar death curves, despite whether they instituted lockdowns or not. He also found a graph (pictured at 40 minutes in the video) in which scientists compared the number of cases in a region with how stringent the measures were by the government, including the degree of lockdown, group restrictions, and mask mandates.
“You can see that there's no reverse correlation like you would expect … if the measures are not stringent you should see more cases, according to their thinking … [but] it's the exact opposite of what the people were saying,” Sheftall said. In fact, the graph largely shows lower cases when less stringent measures were taken.
“It's the same with mask introductions,” Cummins added. “If you look at around 10 or 12 countries where they brought in mask mandates, there was no impact on the curve … whatsoever so the empirical science of our own eyes is screaming at us: Masks and lockdowns don't really move the needle much, maybe a little, but no one wants to know. It's an ideology now. It's a religion.”
Sheftall studied mask usage extensively and found mask mandates did not noticeably change the number of cases or deaths the way they should if they actually reduce transmissibility. Countries that used minimal masks were not worse off than neighboring countries with mask mandates.
“Due to statements by experts and CNN commercials claiming that masks prevent viral spread, mass hysteria descended on the world over the wearing of masks,” he said. There have been cases of hot coffee being thrown in the faces of people not wearing masks, fines issued, and other hysteria, over a measure that's not proven to work.
In fact, in the first randomized controlled trial of more than 6,000 individuals to assess the effectiveness of surgical face masks against SARS-CoV-2 infection found masks did not statistically significantly reduce the incidence of infection. Among mask wearers, 1.8% ended up testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, compared to 2.1% among controls.5
When they removed the people who did not adhere to proper mask use, the results remained the same — 1.8%, which suggests adherence makes no significant difference.
Bringing in the Great Reset
When the science flies in the face of the restrictions being imposed, it becomes clear that there's a sinister hidden agenda. Many of the global elite need this crisis and have been “fermenting panic for the past eight months. Why they're doing it you can argue but the fact that they're doing it is plain and obvious,” Cummins said, adding:
“The WHO drove the masks when it was utterly antiscientific. They're not stupid, so why did they do that? The WHO equally knows the science on lockdowns and the analyses but they remorselessly recently pushed lockdowns again … they're imploring governments to lock down hard, and they have to know that that's the wrong thing to do.
So you can go to the World Economic Forum (WEF). They've made it clear that this is an enormous opportunity to bring in the Great Reset and to retool the world.”
Ultimately, Cummins believes there's not one “single evil genius stroking a cat” that orchestrated a conspiracy, but rather COVID-19 presented an opportunity that multiple entities have used to further their own agendas. What you can do now is keep your eyes open and your ears tuned to the science, so you don't fall victim to the unnecessary panic and fear they are seeking to cause:
“China certainly exploited a new nasty virus and saw it as an opportunity to send the fat, lazy, soft Westerners into a tailspin. Why not? And the WEF has been very clear on its goals, and it's remorseless in driving them.
The WHO, the U.N., the European vaccine alliances, you know, have plans for vaccine passports by 2021, and they were published a year or two ago. I mean imagine you wanted vaccine and health passports by 2021 and then corona came along.
Can you imagine how you'd feel? You would salivate, you would see an enormous opportunity to move forward long plans and get them done in six months. There's no conspiracy theory. It's just unfortunate that a vast array of very powerful bodies all pretty much see enormous opportunity in Sars-CoV-2, and then they all probably, to greater or lesser extents, they talk to each other and communicate.

Your Energy Forecast for 2021

This week , I ’ m sharing an overview of the energies that will be influencing us in 2021 .
I ’ m going to look at the astrology , numerology , chakra significance , and major themes of the year .
I ’ m not attempting to cover everything , but rather to summarize and highlight the patterns I see that are going to affect us the most .
Here they are : 2+0+2+1 = 5 , which makes 2021 a “ 5 ” year numerologically .
Chakra-wise , this means it ’ s going to be a year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , they DO mean the same thing .
Both the number 5 and the throat chakra stand for : expression , innovation , authenticity , purpose , inspiration leadership , freedom , and change .
This is the place where we leave the mundane , 3D world behind and rise above space and time .
This is where spells , magic , and sci-fi rule .
The throat chakra is the first of the “ upper chakras ” so this is the chakra of spiritual awakening and growth .
2020 was a “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 4 is known more for the root chakra than the heart as 4 is associated with the four directions of earth and the four corners of a building ’ s foundation .
So 4 in a steady , reliable , conservative number .
And if you think about it , while Covid-19 DID majorly shake up 2020 , it did so in a very plodding , consistent , root chakra way , The emphasis was on lockdowns and limitations .
2021 is a different animal because it ’ s a 5 year that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Aquarius and the planet that rules it — Uranus .
The hallmarks here are change , surprise , and doing everything outside-the-box .
And the emphasis is on freedom ( the opposite of last year ’ s 4 energy ) .
BUT — and yes , I DID capitalize that BUT because it ’ s a big BUT .
The “ 5 ” energy of this year is seriously tempered by… Saturn , the planet that governs and limits us ( that has played such a big role in the lockdowns of 2020 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Uranus , the planet of freedom , three different times in 2021 : February 17 , June 14 , and December 14 .
And when you allow for a wide orb of influence , these two opposites are basically squaring off for all of 2021 .
Saturn is all about rules , laws , and limits , whereas Uranus is all about breaking out from rules and laws and living outside the box .
This could lead to an outer revolution between the old hierarchical structures and the grassroots communities that want more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ re par for this kind of year .
Inwardly , though , if navigated well , these two opposing energies could allow you to find a way to create more balance between old structures and new possibilities .
Some examples of this balance would be steady , change , radical and honorable rebellion .
The Lunar Nodes ( Sagittarius and Gemini ) & the Eclipses Another theme this year is our lunar node soul lesson .
The lunar nodes change every 18-20 months and they ’ re always teaching us .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moving .
And the north node represents what we ’ re moving Currently , the south node is in Sagittarius and the north node is in Gemini — and these two will influence all of 2021 — finally completing their teaching on January 19 , 2020 , when the nodes will change Scorpio and Taurus .
In short , the move away from Sagittarius energy into more Gemini energy is a move away from old , unquestioned ( typically inherited ) beliefs and toward more curiosity , possibilities and consciously delving into different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ eclipses in 2021 and three of them are in Sagittarius and Gemini .
Additionally , the solar eclipse of December 14 , 2020 , was in Sagittarius .
So the stars are definitely sending us to soul school !

Hello Beautiful Soul,
This week, I’m sharing an overview of the energies that will be influencing us in 2021.
I’m going to look at the astrology, numerology, chakra significance, and major themes of the year.
I’m not attempting to cover everything, but rather to summarize and highlight the patterns I see that are going to affect us the most.
Here they are:
2021 is a “5”/Throat Chakra Year
2+0+2+1 = 5, which makes 2021 a “5” year numerologically. Chakra-wise, this means it’s going to be a year of throat chakra energy.
And yes, they DO mean the same thing. Both the number 5 and the throat chakra stand for: expression, innovation, authenticity, purpose, inspiration leadership, freedom, and change. This is the place where we leave the mundane, 3D world behind and rise above space and time. This is where spells, magic, and sci-fi rule. The throat chakra is the first of the “upper chakras” so this is the chakra of spiritual awakening and growth.
2020 was a “4” year. In numerology, 4 is known more for the root chakra than the heart as 4 is associated with the four directions of earth and the four corners of a building’s foundation. So 4 in a steady, reliable, conservative number.
And if you think about it, while Covid-19 DID majorly shake up 2020, it did so in a very plodding, consistent, root chakra way, The emphasis was on lockdowns and limitations.
2021 is a different animal because it’s a 5 year that’s ruled by the energy of Aquarius and the planet that rules it — Uranus. The hallmarks here are change, surprise, and doing everything outside-the-box. And the emphasis is on freedom (the opposite of last year’s 4 energy).
BUT — and yes, I DID capitalize that BUT because it’s a big BUT. The “5” energy of this year is seriously tempered by…
Saturn Squares Uranus Three Times
Saturn, the planet that governs and limits us (that has played such a big role in the lockdowns of 2020) is directly opposing (squaring) Uranus, the planet of freedom, three different times in 2021: February 17, June 14, and December 14.
And when you allow for a wide orb of influence, these two opposites are basically squaring off for all of 2021. Saturn is all about rules, laws, and limits, whereas Uranus is all about breaking out from rules and laws and living outside the box.
This could lead to an outer revolution between the old hierarchical structures and the grassroots communities that want more equality. Expect more demonstrations. They’re par for this kind of year.
Inwardly, though, if navigated well, these two opposing energies could allow you to find a way to create more balance between old structures and new possibilities. Some examples of this balance would be steady, sustainable change, radical temperance, and honorable rebellion.
The Lunar Nodes (Sagittarius and Gemini) & the Eclipses
Another theme this year is our lunar node soul lesson. The lunar nodes change every 18-20 months and they’re always teaching us. The south node represents what we’re moving away from. And the north node represents what we’re moving toward.
Currently, the south node is in Sagittarius and the north node is in Gemini — and these two will influence all of 2021 — finally completing their teaching on January 19, 2020, when the nodes will change Scorpio and Taurus.
In short, the move away from Sagittarius energy into more Gemini energy is a move away from old, unquestioned (typically inherited) beliefs and toward more curiosity, possibilities and consciously delving into different sources of information.
There are four eclipses in 2021 and three of them are in Sagittarius and Gemini. Additionally, the solar eclipse of December 14, 2020, was in Sagittarius. So the stars are definitely sending us to soul school!
Here are the eclipses and what I think they mean:
May 26 – Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius – saying goodbye to old unhelpful beliefs.
June 10 – Solar Eclipse in Gemini – saying hello to curiosity and questioning all forms of information to feel into new options. Consciously choosing new beliefs that better serve you.
November 19 – Lunar eclipse in Taurus – this feels tied to releasing our attachment to physical currency. This may be the beginning of the end for physical cash. It may take a couple of years to phase out, but it feels like digital and cryptocurrency may start to gain real mainstream legitimacy here.
December 4 – Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius – creating a whole new belief system that better serves us.
Mars and Venus Create New Chemistry
The whole fall of 2020 (Sept-Dec), I was obsessed with Mars and Venus and their shifting relationship. It seemed to me that Venus — the archetypal feminine — was finally getting the chance to shine and lead. If you want to view those videos, here’s my playlist for those reports on Youtube.
Now, in 2021, Mars and Venus are moving forward together better. There are no retrogrades for them this year. And in July, they’re going to have a lovely summer romance. On July 13, in the middle of the Leo season, these two are tightly conjunct in the romantic, fiery sign of Leo.
This will be a great time to feel your own masculine-feminine inner harmony. Or a beautiful opportunity to spend magnetic times with your “other half.” Or of course, you can do both.
Big Stellium in Aquarius with Other Cool Aspects
On February 11, there’s going to be a stellium in Aquarius. The date is fitting because Aquarius is the 11th sign in the zodiac.
Six planets (Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn) will gather in the sign of Aquarius along with the feminine warrior asteroid, Pallas. This is a powerful stellium. It feels like an initiation into the new Age of Aquarius that was baptized on the Great Conjunction of December 21, 2020.
This stellium mimics one that happened in February 1962. And it feels to me like it’s preparing us for the same kind of grassroots rebellion and pursuit of wilder, freer living that we saw in the early 60s. It’s as if this is the second wave of the Age of Aquarius. Looking back to the early 60s could give us a good idea of the consciousness that’s arising.
That’s it in a nutshell, Dear One. 2021 feels like a year of possibilities, tempered by the heavy influence of Saturn the limiter. There will probably be clashes between the old and the new — out in the world and also within our hearts and minds.
With Saturn and Uranus duking it out, hopefully, the changes we’ll choose to make won’t be rash or immature, but steady and sustainable.
And most importantly, they’ll be for the good of all — including our planet.
If you watch the video above, I end by drawing two oracles (mermaid) cards. The first one informs the first half of the year. And the second one sheds light on the last half of the year. I’m going to allow you to discover those on the video.

consciouslifenews--2020-12-31--Why Lockdowns Don’t Work and Hurt the Most Vulnerable

Lockdowns have also resulted in dramatic increases in domestic abuse , rape , and child sex abuse .
Children are also falling behind socially and developmentally , even if they ’ re not exposed to direct abuse In Japan — which didn ’ t even implement lockdowns — government statistics reveal more people died from suicide in the month of October than have died from COVID-19 all year A Canadian survey in early October 2020 found 22 % of Canadians experienced high anxiety levels — four times higher than the prepandemic rate — and 13 % reported severe depression .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ worsened this year An April 2020 report estimated 3 million Britons had gone without food at some point in the previous three weeks .
An estimated 1 million people had by then already lost all sources of income Lockdowns have wrought unimaginable hardship , suffering , and death ; 163,735 U.S. businesses had closed their doors as of August 31 , 2020 , and of those , 60 % — a total of 97,966 businesses — were permanent closures .
Meanwhile , the collective wealth of 651 billionaires in the U.S. rose by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 9 , 2020 , Twitter thread,1 Michael P. Senger , an attorney and author of the September 2020 article,2 “ China ’ s Global Lockdown Propaganda Campaign , ” reviewed the largely hidden impacts of global lockdowns .
Ivor Cummins ’ video above also reviews data showing just how “ hugely ineffective ” lockdowns have been .
As one would expect , shutting down businesses for extended periods of time leads to businesses going under for impaired cash flow from lack of revenue .
Back in August 2020 , Bloomberg reported3 that more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feared their businesses wouldn ’ t survive .
They were right .
According to a September 2020 economic impact report4 by Yelp , 163,735 U.S. businesses had closed their doors as of August 31 , 2020 , and of those , 60 % — a total of 97,966 businesses — were permanent closures.5 As noted by Senger:6 How does shutting small businesses but allowing big box stores to stay open protect public health ?
There ’ s really no rhyme or reason for such a decision , other than to shift wealth away @ @ @ @ @ @ @ multinational corporations .
While working-class Americans have been forced to file for unemployment by the tens of millions , the top five richest people in the U.S. increased their wealth by 26 % between March 18 and June 17 , 2020.7 Since the beginning of the pandemic , the collective wealth of 651 billionaires in the U.S. rose by more than 36 % ( $ 1 trillion ) .8 The assets of these 651 billionaires is now nearly double that of the combined wealth of the least wealthy 165 million Americans .
As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Americans for Tax Fairness , “ Never before has America seen such an accumulation of wealth in so few hands.
” 9 Far from being the great equalizer , COVID-19 is the greatest wealth transfer scheme in the history of the world .
Indeed , you may as well call it what it is : grand-scale asset theft from the poor and middle class .
A December 14 , 2020 , article10 in The Defender reviews who have benefited from pandemic measures the most , from the finance and tech industries to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to an August 10 , 2020 , article11 by Forbes , pandemic measures had eliminated nearly half of all Black-owned small businesses in the U.S. by the end of April 2020 .
It cites data from a New York Fed report,12 which found that “ Black-owned businesses were more than twice as likely to shutter as their white counterparts.
” While nationally representative data on small businesses showed active business ownership dropped 22 % between February and April 2020 , the number of businesses owned by Blacks dropped by 41 % .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ; Asian-owned 26 % ; and White-owned 17 % .
According to Forbes:13 Mere weeks into the pandemic , Americans were lining up at food banks .
An April 12 , 2020 , article14 in The New York Times showed miles-long lines in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , Miami , Florida , and elsewhere : The situation is much the same in other countries .
An April 10 , 2020 , report15 by the Financial Times cited survey results showing an estimated 3 million Britons had gone without food at some point in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ million people had by then already lost all sources of income .
Anna Taylor , executive director for the Food Foundation in the U.K. , told the Financial Times there ’ s a “ food poverty problem that has not been dealt with ” that is now becoming glaringly apparent — and that was mere weeks into the pandemic .
We ’ re now nine months down the line , and governments around the world are again calling for lockdowns over the winter holidays .
Forcing people into poverty will have a detrimental @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not surprising .
A Canadian survey16 in early October 2020 found 22 % of Canadians experienced high anxiety levels — four times higher than the prepandemic rate — and 13 % reported severe depression .
In the U.S. , an August 2020 survey17,18 by the American Psychological Association found Gen-Z ’ ers are among the hardest hit in this regard , with young adults aged 18 to 23 reporting the highest levels of stress and depression .
More than 7 out of 10 in this age group reported symptoms of depression in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ teens aged 13 to 17 , 51 % said the pandemic makes it impossible to plan for the future .
Sixty-seven percent of college-aged respondents echoed this concern .
With despair comes drug-related problems , and according to the American Medical Association , the drug overdose epidemic has significantly worsened and become more complicated this year .
“ More than 40 states have reported increases in opioid-related mortality as well as ongoing concerns for those with a mental illness or substance use disorder , ” the AMA reported in an Issue Brief19 updated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of national news included in the AMA ’ s brief20 includes reports of increases in overdose-related cardiac arrests , surges in street fentanyl leading to deaths in the thousands , and a “ dramatic increase ” in illicit opioid fatalities .
Spikes and record numbers of overdose deaths have been reported in Alabama , Arizona , Arkansas , California , Colorado , Delaware , District of Columbia , Illinois , Florida , and many other states .
That pandemic measures are doing more harm than good can also be seen in Centers for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , compared to previous years , excess deaths among 25- to 44-year-olds has increased by a remarkable 26.5 % , even though this age group accounts for fewer than 3 % of COVID-19-related deaths .
To put it bluntly , in our misguided efforts to prevent the elderly and immune-compromised from dying from COVID-19 , we ’ re sacrificing people who are in the prime of their lives .
As noted by Senger:23 Rising despair is also reflected in statistics showing dramatic increases in domestic abuse , rape , child sex abuse , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ireland reported a 98 % increase in people seeking counseling for rape and child sex abuse.24 Data from the British group Women ’ s Aid showed 61 % of domestic abuse victims reported abuse had worsened during the lockdown.25 The number of women killed by their domestic partners also doubled during the first three weeks of lockdowns in the U.K.26 In the U.S. , data27 from a Massachusetts hospital revealed a dramatic jump in patients seeking emergency care after being battered by their domestic partner in the nine weeks between March 11 and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state had ordered schools closed .
During this time , 26 patients were treated for domestic abuse injuries that included strangulation , stabbing , burns , and gunshot wounds .

Lockdowns have also resulted in dramatic increases in domestic abuse, rape, and child sex abuse. Children are also falling behind socially and developmentally, even if they’re not exposed to direct abuse
In Japan — which didn’t even implement lockdowns — government statistics reveal more people died from suicide in the month of October than have died from COVID-19 all year
A Canadian survey in early October 2020 found 22% of Canadians experienced high anxiety levels — four times higher than the prepandemic rate — and 13% reported severe depression. The drug overdose epidemic has also significantly worsened this year
An April 2020 report estimated 3 million Britons had gone without food at some point in the previous three weeks. An estimated 1 million people had by then already lost all sources of income
Lockdowns have wrought unimaginable hardship, suffering, and death; 163,735 U.S. businesses had closed their doors as of August 31, 2020, and of those, 60% — a total of 97,966 businesses — were permanent closures. Meanwhile, the collective wealth of 651 billionaires in the U.S. rose by more than 36%
In a December 9, 2020, Twitter thread,1 Michael P. Senger, an attorney and author of the September 2020 article,2 “China’s Global Lockdown Propaganda Campaign,” reviewed the largely hidden impacts of global lockdowns. Ivor Cummins’ video above also reviews data showing just how “hugely ineffective” lockdowns have been.
As one would expect, shutting down businesses for extended periods of time leads to businesses going under for impaired cash flow from lack of revenue. Back in August 2020, Bloomberg reported3 that more than half of all small business owners feared their businesses wouldn’t survive. They were right.
According to a September 2020 economic impact report4 by Yelp, 163,735 U.S. businesses had closed their doors as of August 31, 2020, and of those, 60% — a total of 97,966 businesses — were permanent closures.5 As noted by Senger:6
“That ’leaders’ across the world transformed into tyrants, believing they had a right to bankrupt their subjects, is the core evil of lockdown.”
The Greatest Wealth Transfer in History
How does shutting small businesses but allowing big box stores to stay open protect public health? There’s really no rhyme or reason for such a decision, other than to shift wealth away from small, private business owners to multinational corporations.
While working-class Americans have been forced to file for unemployment by the tens of millions, the top five richest people in the U.S. increased their wealth by 26% between March 18 and June 17, 2020.7 Since the beginning of the pandemic, the collective wealth of 651 billionaires in the U.S. rose by more than 36% ($1 trillion).8 The assets of these 651 billionaires is now nearly double that of the combined wealth of the least wealthy 165 million Americans.
As noted by Frank Clemente, executive director of Americans for Tax Fairness, “Never before has America seen such an accumulation of wealth in so few hands.”9
Far from being the great equalizer, COVID-19 is the greatest wealth transfer scheme in the history of the world. Indeed, you may as well call it what it is: grand-scale asset theft from the poor and middle class. A December 14, 2020, article10 in The Defender reviews who have benefited from pandemic measures the most, from the finance and tech industries to the pharmaceutical and military-intelligence sectors.
Minority-Owned Businesses Have Taken Biggest Hit
According to an August 10, 2020, article11 by Forbes, pandemic measures had eliminated nearly half of all Black-owned small businesses in the U.S. by the end of April 2020. It cites data from a New York Fed report,12 which found that “Black-owned businesses were more than twice as likely to shutter as their white counterparts.”
While nationally representative data on small businesses showed active business ownership dropped 22% between February and April 2020, the number of businesses owned by Blacks dropped by 41%. The decline in Latin-owned businesses was 32%; Asian-owned 26%; and White-owned 17%. According to Forbes:13
“At the same time, Black-owned firms, already smarting from a Great Recession that hurt them badly, already entered the crisis with ‘weaker cash positions, weaker bank relationships, and preexisting funding gaps.’ ‘Even the healthiest Black firms were financially disadvantaged at the onset of COVID-19,’ said the report.”
Food Insecurity at Staggering Levels
Mere weeks into the pandemic, Americans were lining up at food banks. An April 12, 2020, article14 in The New York Times showed miles-long lines in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Miami, Florida, and elsewhere:
“In many cities, lines outside food pantries have become glaring symbols of financial precarity, showing how quickly the pandemic has devastated working people’s finances.
In San Antonio, 10,000 families began arriving before dawn on Thursday at a now-shuttered swap meet hall to receive boxes of food. Normally, 200 to 400 families might show up during a normal food distribution.
‘It’s a wave of need,’ said Eric Cooper, president of the San Antonio Food Bank. ‘They were all let go. There’s no savings. There’s no slack in their household budget. The money’s run out. It just shows how desperate people are.’”
The situation is much the same in other countries. An April 10, 2020, report15 by the Financial Times cited survey results showing an estimated 3 million Britons had gone without food at some point in the previous three weeks. An estimated 1 million people had by then already lost all sources of income.
Anna Taylor, executive director for the Food Foundation in the U.K., told the Financial Times there’s a “food poverty problem that has not been dealt with” that is now becoming glaringly apparent — and that was mere weeks into the pandemic. We’re now nine months down the line, and governments around the world are again calling for lockdowns over the winter holidays.
Mental Health Slides as Despair Grows
Forcing people into poverty will have a detrimental effect on their mental health is also not surprising. A Canadian survey16 in early October 2020 found 22% of Canadians experienced high anxiety levels — four times higher than the prepandemic rate — and 13% reported severe depression.
In the U.S., an August 2020 survey17,18 by the American Psychological Association found Gen-Z’ers are among the hardest hit in this regard, with young adults aged 18 to 23 reporting the highest levels of stress and depression.
More than 7 out of 10 in this age group reported symptoms of depression in the two weeks before the survey. Among teens aged 13 to 17, 51% said the pandemic makes it impossible to plan for the future. Sixty-seven percent of college-aged respondents echoed this concern.
With despair comes drug-related problems, and according to the American Medical Association, the drug overdose epidemic has significantly worsened and become more complicated this year. “More than 40 states have reported increases in opioid-related mortality as well as ongoing concerns for those with a mental illness or substance use disorder,” the AMA reported in an Issue Brief19 updated December 9, 2020.
A list of national news included in the AMA’s brief20 includes reports of increases in overdose-related cardiac arrests, surges in street fentanyl leading to deaths in the thousands, and a “dramatic increase” in illicit opioid fatalities. Spikes and record numbers of overdose deaths have been reported in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Florida, and many other states.
Young Adults Dying in Greater Than Normal Numbers
That pandemic measures are doing more harm than good can also be seen in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data21,22 showing that, compared to previous years, excess deaths among 25- to 44-year-olds has increased by a remarkable 26.5%, even though this age group accounts for fewer than 3% of COVID-19-related deaths.
To put it bluntly, in our misguided efforts to prevent the elderly and immune-compromised from dying from COVID-19, we’re sacrificing people who are in the prime of their lives. As noted by Senger:23
“Per CDC, despite mass PCR testing and disproportionate false positives, at least 100,947 excess deaths in 2020 were not even linked to COVID-19 AT ALL. In other words, over 100,000 Americans were murdered this year by their OWN GOVERNMENT.”
Lockdowns Dramatically Increase Domestic Abuse
Rising despair is also reflected in statistics showing dramatic increases in domestic abuse, rape, child sex abuse, and suicides. By July 2020, Ireland reported a 98% increase in people seeking counseling for rape and child sex abuse.24
Data from the British group Women’s Aid showed 61% of domestic abuse victims reported abuse had worsened during the lockdown.25 The number of women killed by their domestic partners also doubled during the first three weeks of lockdowns in the U.K.26
In the U.S., data27 from a Massachusetts hospital revealed a dramatic jump in patients seeking emergency care after being battered by their domestic partner in the nine weeks between March 11 and May 3, 2020, when the state had ordered schools closed.
During this time, 26 patients were treated for domestic abuse injuries that included strangulation, stabbing, burns, and gunshot wounds. That’s just one shy of the number of cases seen in the same time period during 2018 and 2019 combined. In other words, domestic abuse cases were nearly double the annual norm for that hospital.
In early April 2020, United Nations secretary-general Antonio Guterres warned28 of a “horrifying” surge in global domestic abuse linked to pandemic lockdowns as calls to helplines in some countries had by then already doubled.29 The number of people looking into divorce in the U.S. was also 34% higher in March through June 2020 compared to the same time frame in 2019.30
Children Brought to Suffer in Countless Ways
Child abuse, meanwhile, is less likely to be detected and reported thanks to virtual schooling. As noted by Human Rights Watch:31
“More than 1.5 billion students are out of school. Widespread job and income loss and economic insecurity among families are likely to increase rates of child labor, sexual exploitation, teenage pregnancy, and child marriage.
Stresses on families, particularly those living under quarantines and lockdowns, are increasing the incidence of domestic violence … ‘The risks posed by the COVID-19 crisis to children are enormous,’ said Jo Becker, children’s rights advocacy director at Human Rights Watch …
Child abuse is less likely to be detected during the COVID-19 crisis, as child protection agencies have reduced monitoring to avoid spreading the virus, and teachers are less able to detect signs of ill treatment with schools closed.”
There are signs of rising child abuse though, including a British study32 that found a shocking 1,493% rise in the incidence of abusive head trauma among children during the first month of the lockdown, compared to the same time period in the previous three years.
Children are also in danger of falling behind socially and developmentally, even if they’re not exposed to direct abuse. In November 2020, The Guardian reported that many children are regressing mentally and physically as a result of the lockdowns.33
All this for a virus that caused no above-average mortality in countries without lockdowns … In other words, all for absolutely nothing. ~ Michael P. Senger
The Washington Post reported34 scholastic achievement gaps have widened in the U.S. and early literacy among kindergarteners has seen a sharp decline this year.
According to The Economist,35 American children over the age of 10 cut physical activity by half during the lockdown, spending most of their time playing video games and eating junk food. Indeed, closing parks and beaches right along with small businesses and schools were undoubtedly among the most ignorant and destructive pandemic measures of all.
Suicide Epidemic
Preventing healthy people from working and upending everyone’s lives has also (as expected) resulted in a massive rise in suicide, and abnormal spikes became apparent within weeks of the initial lockdowns.
As noted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in “How the Government Uses Fear to Control,” research from the 1980s found that for every 1-point rise in unemployment there were 37,000 excess deaths, 4,000 excess imprisonments, and 3,300 excess admissions into mental institutions. Kennedy also cites recent data from a hospital in San Francisco that stated they saw one year’s-worth of suicides in a single month, a 1,200% increase.
In September 2020, Cook Children's Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas, admitted a record number of 37 pediatric patients who had tried to commit suicide. Dr. Kia Carter, medical director of Psychiatry at Cook Children’s told CBS:36
“September of 2020 has been the highest month ever that we've seen suicidal patients admitted to our medical center … Suicide has become the second leading cause of death for kids and adolescents in the last year, versus two years ago when it was the third leading cause of death.”
In Japan — which didn’t even implement lockdowns — government statistics reveal more people died from suicide in the month of October than have died from COVID-19 all year.37 While only 2,087 Japanese had died from COVID-19 as of November 27, 2020, the suicide toll in October alone was 2,153. Women make up the lion’s share of suicides, and hotlines are also reporting that women are confessing thoughts of killing their children out of sheer desperation.
Developing World Fares Even Worse
As horrible as all of these statistics are, they don’t even begin to compare to the tragedies taking place in developing nations. In India, millions of migrant workers were stranded early on in the pandemic without a way to make a living and unable to leave the cities due to lockdown orders.38
Food lines stretched for miles in South Africa at the end of April 202039 and in Saudi Arabia, “hundreds if not thousands” of African migrants — mostly Ethiopian men — have been left to die from lack of food and water in COVID-19 detention centers after a moratorium on deportation was issued in April, according to an August 30, 2020, report by The Telegraph.40
The United Nations estimates pandemic responses have “pushed an additional 150 million children into multidimensional poverty — deprived of education, health, housing, nutrition, sanitation or water,”41 and at the end of April 2020 warned the world was facing “famine of biblical proportions, with only a limited amount of time to act before starvation claims hundreds of millions of lives.”42
“All this for a virus that caused no above-average mortality in countries without lockdowns — and which WHO estimates already infected 10% of people worldwide by October. In other words, all for absolutely nothing,” Senger writes.43
Pandemics Highlight Pre-Existing Health Inequalities
Indeed, an ever-growing number of doctors, academics, and scientists are now questioning the validity of using PCR tests to diagnose “cases,” the usefulness of face masks, the questionable classification of COVID-19 deaths, and the suppression of scientifically verified methods of prevention and treatment, as well as the safety and usefulness of COVID-19 vaccines.
There are clear problems in all of these areas, yet questions and logical thinking have been, and continue to be, met with harsh resistance and denial. Those leading the charge in terms of pandemic responses have not been shy about their censoring of counter-narratives, almost without exception.
When it comes to the disease itself, we now know certain comorbidities significantly raise your risk of complications and deaths. Among the top ones are obesity, insulin resistance, and vitamin D deficiency.
While these conditions are exceptionally common overall, they’re particularly prevalent in Black and indigenous communities, and when combined with inadequate access to health care, these groups also end up being disproportionally affected by COVID-19.44
COVID-19 Is a Class War
While the media and political and economic institutions claim the pandemic narrative is based on scientific consensus, this clearly isn’t the case. There’s no evidence supporting universal mask use, for example, and there’s even less scientific support for lockdowns — a strategy based on a high school project that won third place.45
James Corbett of the Corbett Report discusses this shocking revelation in the video above. Now, as many small businesses are failing thanks to months-long shutdowns and employment opportunities look bleak, world leaders are suddenly joining the World Economic Forum in calling for a Great Reset of the economy.46
This is hardly a random coincidence. This plan, which has been in the works for decades, will further empower and enrich wealthy, unelected powerbrokers while enslaving and impoverishing everyone else. The fact that the pandemic has been used to shift wealth from the poor and middle class to the ultra-wealthy is clear for anyone to see at this point. As noted by IPS News:47
“The COVID pandemic has not been the ‘Great Equalizer’ as suggested by the likes of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and members of the World Economic Forum. Rather, it has exacerbated existing inequalities along gender, race and economic class divides across the world.48”
The Global Restructuring
At this point, it should be obvious for anyone paying attention that the pandemic is being prolonged and exaggerated for a reason, and it’s not because there’s a concern for life. Quite the contrary.
It’s a ploy to quite literally enslave the global population within a digital surveillance system49 — a system so unnatural and inhumane that no rational population would ever voluntarily go down that road.
“The ‘Great Reset’ seeks to … expand corporate control of natural resources and state surveillance of individuals,” IPS News writes.50 “In the post-pandemic ‘Great Reset,’ there would not be much life left outside the technological-corporate nexus dominated by monolithic agribusiness, pharmaceutical, communication, defense and other inter-connected corporations, and the governments and media serving them.
The proponents of the ‘Great Reset’51 envisage a Brave New World where, ‘You will own nothing. And you will be happy. Whatever you want, you will rent, and it will be delivered by drones.’
But it is more likely that this elite-led revolution will make the vast majority of humanity a powerless appendage of technology with little consciousness and meaning in their lives.”
It should also be clear that most if not all pandemic restrictions to freedom are meant to become permanent. In other words, these past nine months have been a preview of the world the technocratic elite wants to implement as part of the new social and economic order.
If this is the first time you’re hearing any of this, be sure to review “Who Pressed the Great Reset Button?” “The Pressing Dangers of Technocracy,” “The Global Takeover Is Underway” and “Coronavirus Fraud Scandal — The Biggest Fight Has Just Begun.”
Now’s the Time to Fight Back
It’s important to understand that now’s the time to fight back: to resist any and all unconstitutional edicts. Once the “new world order” is in place, you will no longer be able to do a thing about it.
Your life — your health, educational and work opportunities, your finances, and your very identity — will be so meshed with the automated technological infrastructure that any attempt to break free will result in you being locked out or erased from the system, leaving you with no ability to learn, work, travel or engage in commerce.
It sounds far-fetched, I know, but when you follow the technocratic plan to its inevitable end, that’s basically what you end up with. The warning signs are all around us if we’re willing to see them for what they actually are. The only question now is whether enough people are willing to resist it to make a difference.
Most important of all is the need to release the fear. It’s a fearful public that allows the technocratic elite to dictate the future and rip away our personal freedoms. It’s a fear that allows tyranny to flourish. Really look at the data, so you can see for yourself that panic is unwarranted and that the so-called “solutions” to the pandemic are in fact a path of total destruction.
This destruction — both moral and economic — is necessary for the Great Reset to occur. The technocratic elite needs everything and everyone to fall apart in order to justify the implementation of their new system. Without this desperation, no one would agree with what they have planned.
