Global Uprising Underway

The estimated infection fatality rate for seasonal influenza is 0.8 % , so the only people for whom SARS-CoV-2 infection is more dangerous than influenza are those over the age of 60 .
Everyone else has a lower risk of dying from COVID-19 than they have of dying from the flu On September 2 , 2020 , the study found the overall noninstitutionalized infection fatality ratio was 0.26 % .
Among those under the age of 40 , the infection fatality ratio is 0.01 % , while those over 60 have an infection fatality ratio of 1.71 % According to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Disease Control and Prevention August 26 , 2020 , only 6 % of the total COVID-19-related deaths in the U.S. had COVID-19 listed as the sole cause of death on the death certificate The last week of August 2020 saw gatherings of tens of thousands of individuals in Berlin , London , and Dublin , protesting stay-at-home orders , business closures , mask and vaccine mandates , and Bill Gates ’ dictatorial grip on public health matters After six months of intermittent or in some cases near-continuous lockdowns , many have reached their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world After six months of intermittent or in some cases near-continuous lockdowns , many have reached their limit and uprisings are finally emerging around the world .

On top of that , most social media platforms have their own highly biased “ fact-checkers ” who censor for all they ’ re worth .

Just How Deadly Is COVID-19 ?
According to groundbreaking data8 recently released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , only 6 % of the total COVID-19-related deaths in the U.S. had COVID-19 listed as the sole cause of death on the death certificate .
Six percent of 169,044 ( the total death toll as of September @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19 , on average , there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death , ” the CDC states .
As reported by Rochester First,9 the top underlying medical conditions included influenza , pneumonia , respiratory failure , high blood pressure , diabetes , dementia , heart problems , and renal failure .
However , the list also includes 5,424 intentional and unintentional injury and poisoning deaths , so basically , accidents and suicides in which the individual just happened to test positive ( or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) are also included in the grand total .
The fact that only 6 % of COVID-19-related deaths are directly attributable to SARS-CoV-2 is bad news when you ’ re trying to keep a doomsday narrative going .
In what appears to be a blatant attempt to minimize exposure of these data , social media platforms have censored many trying to share it.11 As noted by independent news commentator Tim Pool in the video below , fact-checkers are digging into nitpicky semantics in their effort to censor the CDC data , and in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stretching the “ false ” claim ultrathin .
Similar data have emerged from Palm Beach County , Florida , where an investigation by CBS 1212 I-Team revealed only 86 of the reported 658 COVID-19 deaths had “ COVID-19 pneumonia ” listed as the sole cause of death .
All others had multiple comorbidities , including diabetes , cardiovascular diseases , and dementia .
As noted by CBS 12 , “ Most Palm Beach County COVID deaths can not be attributed to COVID alone.
” While Dr. Terry Adirim , senior associate dean at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , told the I-Team that “ it makes sense to count them [ people with comorbid conditions ] toward COVID deaths because the virus may have made an otherwise non-fatal illness like a heart condition deadly , ” the converse argument can also be made .
Had it not been for them having one or more serious comorbidities , the risk of the virus to these individuals would have been minuscule , and if they got sick at all , they ’ d probably have survived .
So , ultimately , should the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Infection Fatality Rate on Par With the Flu Keeping the “ killer virus ” narrative going much longer is probably going to become even more difficult in light of a September 2 , 2020 article13 in Annals of Internal Medicine , which points out that : The estimated infection fatality rate for seasonal influenza listed in this paper is 0.8 % .
So , the only people for whom SARS-CoV-2 infection is more dangerous than influenza are those over the age of 60 .
All others have a lower risk of dying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the flu .
Put another way , if you ’ re under the age of 60 , your chances of dying from the flu are greater than your chance of dying from COVID-19 .
White House coronavirus task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx also confirmed this far lower than typically reported mortality rate when she , in mid-August 2020 , stated that it “ becomes more and more difficult ” to get people to comply with mask rules “ when people start to realize that 99 % of us are going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being as low as they are for everyone under the age of 60 , it really weakens the rationale for vaccinating the entire world , including newborns , the risk to whom the virus poses is virtually nil .
The vaccine looking increasingly unnecessary is likely a reason why the U.S. government is planning to launch an “ overwhelming ” COVID-19 vaccine campaign this fall , using carefully researched messages .
As detailed in “ Health and Autonomy in the 21st Century , ” Yale University has conducted a trial16 to determine the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine .
Messaging slants evaluated in the investigation included:17 The study , which was completed July 8 , 2020 , also sought to determine : • Participant ’ s confidence in the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine after hearing the message in question • Participant ’ s willingness to persuade others to get vaccinated • Their fear of those who have not been vaccinated • The social judgment of those who choose not to vaccinate Harvard Business School in collaboration with the Sloan School of Management , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ published a working paper18 comparing self-interested versus prosocial motivations for COVID-19 prevention behaviors .
Considering the messages we ’ ve been bombarded with over the past few months — calling people who don ’ t wear masks “ grandma killers ” and so on — it seems clear that results from these kinds of investigations have been capitalized on .
In that paper , “ Don ’ t Get It or Don ’ t Spread It ?
” the authors review studies in which various types of messages were compared — messages highlighting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ threat you might pose to others .
Overall , prosocial messages , i.e.
, messages that stress the importance of complying with prevention behaviors in order to protect others fared the best .
According to the authors:19 A powerful essay20 in the American Institute for Economic Research asks the question : Is the lockdown the best way to minimize casualties in this pandemic ?
Using historical examples beginning with Voltaire ’ s words , “ those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities , ” the author reasons that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world from COVID-19 , if for no other reason than whenever lockdowns are eased , infections naturally start to creep back up .
However , the vast majority of these “ infections ” or “ cases ” are asymptomatic .
A rising “ case ” load does not mean people are actually getting sick and dying .
The misuse of the medical term “ case ” is an egregious one , as historically , a “ case ” is defined as someone who has symptoms of a particular disease — someone who is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has a “ case ” meant someone who is perfectly healthy and requires testing to determine whether they are infected with a particular pathogen .
Would you get tested for the common cold or influenza if you had no symptoms ?
If the test happened to come back positive , would you with a straight face say you “ have ” a cold or the flu ?
There are other myths , mostly scare tactics , that people are willingly believing that need to be stopped now , too , the author asserts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ start questioning what is credulous and what is not .
I encourage you to read that essay in its totality .
Another article21 well worth reading is Mark Petrakis ’ “ The Fatal Attraction of Techno-Fascism.
” This one also starts off with an excellent quote by Cato the Elder : “ Those who are serious in ridiculous matters will be ridiculous in serious matters.
” One of the first points he makes is that fascism is attractive because : Petrakis goes on to discuss why propaganda and disinformation are required in order @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and how truth is a liability that must be disallowed and penalized .
In the end , the price we pay for this kind of intellectual laziness is “ soul-crushing denial and disconnection.
” No one who has been paying attention this past year , in particular , can have missed that propaganda is in full swing , 24/7 and that both truthful facts and personal opinions that run counter to the established propaganda narrative are being censored and penalized in equal measure .
When it comes to COVID-19 , the propaganda @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has actually shattered what Petrakis refers to as “ the grandest illusion of all ” that “ must be maintained at all costs , ” namely the appearance that the propaganda messages are randomly generated .
“ It must always appear that the media ’ s coverage and the comments of experts are entirely free from any preconceived manipulation , ” he says .
Today , there is little doubt that the narrative we see is anything but free from bias .
There ’ s little doubt that what we ’ re told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quote Petrakis yet again .
Ultimately , the economic system known as technocracy is tailor-made for the transhumanist revolution — which I touch upon in “ Will New COVID Vaccine Make You Transhuman ?
” — where man is merged with technology and AI .
As always , the lure will be greater convenience , self-improvement , and “ a better world for all.
” What ’ s never mentioned is the ultimate price .
The price for all of it is complete subjugation to faceless leaders who profit from your every move @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I ’ ll end this with some observations by British Supreme Court judge Lord Sumption , who in a March 30 , 2020 , interview22 with The Post warned that COVID-19 rules are paving the way for despotism — the exercise of absolute power in a cruel and oppressive manner .
It is time to ask ourselves some very pressing questions .
Is it reasonable to expect the government to eliminate ALL infection and ALL death ?
They ’ ve proven they can not , yet we keep relinquishing more and more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so will keep everyone safer .
It ’ s an enticing lie , but a lie nonetheless .
Remember , they sold us on the business shutdowns and home quarantining by saying we just need to flatten the curve of infection to avoid hospital overcrowding .
Now the curve is in a visible nosedive and hospitals are far from overcrowded with COVID-19 patients , yet lockdowns remain in many areas and some — Australia being a prime example — have reached astonishing new heights .
Sooner or later everyone must decide which is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ security ?
Circling back to where I started , the good news is that many are in fact starting to see the writing on the wall ; they ’ re starting to see we ’ ve been “ had , ” and are starting to choose liberty over brutal totalitarianism in the name of public health .

After six months of intermittent or in some cases near-continuous lockdowns, many have reached their limit and uprisings are finally emerging around the world. The last week of August 2020 saw gatherings of tens of thousands of individuals in Berlin,1 London2 and Dublin,3 protesting stay-at-home orders, business closures, mask and vaccine mandates, and Bill Gates’ dictatorial grip on public health matters.
In the U.S., a protest took place August 30, 2020, in Boston, Massachusetts, against a new student flu vaccination mandate,4 and in Virginia, protesters gathered September 2 in opposition of unconstitutional COVID-19 mandates.5
These are just a few of the many demonstrations that have taken place in recent weeks around the world, as people are starting to realize their human rights are being stripped away over a virus with a lethality on par with that of seasonal influenza and other pandemic viruses, none of which was responded to with a global shutdown of economies and forced quarantining of healthy individuals.
COVID-19 — A Massive Brainwashing Scheme?
In recent weeks and months, more and more experts have come out sharing what they know about the roles of Big Tech, Big Pharma, and global health organizations such as the World Health Organization in the creation of new technocratic world order.
If you missed my interview with financial analyst Patrick Wood, in which he details the technocratic take-over plan, which has been in play for decades, be sure to review it now. Other articles shedding light on what’s happening behind the scenes include “Harvard Professor Exposes Google and Facebook,” featuring a documentary with professor Shoshana Zuboff, and “Plandemic Part 2.”
When you start to put all the puzzle pieces together, it seems clear this pandemic is being used as a cover story for both a global wealth redistribution scheme, and for the implementation of a technocratic system of totalitarian rule by unelected leaders.
The WHO seems to be part and parcel of this global network. While the U.S. has severed ties with the organization, Big Tech is still promoting the WHO as a final arbiter of which views are acceptable and which are not — medical expertise and scientific achievements be damned.
As reported by Reclaim the Net,6 the WHO eavesdrops on everything you do online, from reviewing your social media interactions to analyzing your emotions. To counteract the “spread of misleading information” about the pandemic — which was a key area of focus during Event 201 — the WHO has partnered with an analytics company that uses machine learning analysis to scan more than 1.6 million social media posts per week.
The aim of this “social listening approach”— a nicer term than good old-fashioned spying — is to counteract anything that doesn’t align with the WHO’s current narrative on illnesses, treatments, interventions, and causes of disease.
Aiding them in this dystopian censoring process is the United Nations, which has launched an army of 10,000 digital volunteers who troll the internet for “false” information and opposing views.
On top of that, most social media platforms have their own highly biased “fact-checkers” who censor for all they’re worth. Back in April 2020, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, wife of Google product director Dennis Troper, announced they would ban and remove any video from the platform that contradicts the WHO.7
Countless examples of wanton censorship of perfectly valid medical and scientific information across all social media platforms and Google can be found at this point.
Just How Deadly Is COVID-19?
According to groundbreaking data8 recently released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 6% of the total COVID-19-related deaths in the U.S. had COVID-19 listed as the sole cause of death on the death certificate.
Six percent of 169,044 (the total death toll as of September 2) is 10,143. “For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death,” the CDC states. As reported by Rochester First,9 the top underlying medical conditions included influenza, pneumonia, respiratory failure, high blood pressure, diabetes, dementia, heart problems, and renal failure.
However, the list also includes 5,424 intentional and unintentional injury and poisoning deaths, so basically, accidents and suicides in which the individual just happened to test positive (or was suspected of being positive for SARS-CoV-2) are also included in the grand total.
(Please note, these data were accurate as of this writing. The CDC does not notate when data is altered as new death certificates come in, so the numbers may therefore be different from what is reported here, depending on when you’re looking at it. For the most up-to-date figures, see the CDC’s website.10)
The fact that only 6% of COVID-19-related deaths are directly attributable to SARS-CoV-2 is bad news when you’re trying to keep a doomsday narrative going. In what appears to be a blatant attempt to minimize exposure of these data, social media platforms have censored many trying to share it.11
As noted by independent news commentator Tim Pool in the video below, fact-checkers are digging into nitpicky semantics in their effort to censor the CDC data, and in so doing, they’re really stretching the “false” claim ultrathin.
Similar data have emerged from Palm Beach County, Florida, where an investigation by CBS 1212 I-Team revealed only 86 of the reported 658 COVID-19 deaths had “COVID-19 pneumonia” listed as the sole cause of death.
All others had multiple comorbidities, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and dementia. As noted by CBS 12, “Most Palm Beach County COVID deaths cannot be attributed to COVID alone.”
While Dr. Terry Adirim, senior associate dean at the Florida Atlantic University College of Medicine, told the I-Team that “it makes sense to count them [people with comorbid conditions] toward COVID deaths because the virus may have made an otherwise non-fatal illness like a heart condition deadly,” the converse argument can also be made.
Had it not been for them having one or more serious comorbidities, the risk of the virus to these individuals would have been minuscule, and if they got sick at all, they’d probably have survived. So, ultimately, should the virus bear the brunt of the blame?
Infection Fatality Rate on Par With the Flu
Keeping the “killer virus” narrative going much longer is probably going to become even more difficult in light of a September 2, 2020 article13 in Annals of Internal Medicine, which points out that:
“Because many cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are asymptomatic, generalizable data on the true number of persons infected are lacking, and that when calculating mortality rates from confirmed cases, you end up overestimating the infection fatality ratio (IFR).”
The paper reads, in part:14
“To calculate a true infection fatality ratio, population prevalence data are needed from large geographic areas where reliable death data also exist … We combined prevalence estimates from a statewide random sample with Indiana vital statistics data of confirmed COVID-19 deaths.
In brief, our stratified random sample consisted of state residents aged 12 years and older. Known decedents and incarcerated persons were excluded. Because nursing homes were limiting residents' ability to leave and re-enter the facilities, their participation was unlikely.
Participants were tested from 25 April to 29 April 2020 for active viral infection and SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, which would indicate prior infection … We calculated the IFR by age, race, sex, and ethnicity on the basis of the cumulative number of confirmed COVID-19 deaths as of 29 April 2020, divided by the number of infections.
Although nursing home residents were not tested, they represented 54.9% of Indiana's deaths. Thus, we excluded nursing home residents from all calculations (that is, deaths and infections).
To account for all infections, we added the number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 during the testing period and noninstitutionalized COVID-19 deaths into the denominator …
Our random-sample study estimated 187 802 cumulative infections, to which 180 hospitalizations were added. The average age among all COVID-19 decedents was 76.9 years.
The overall noninstitutionalized infection fatality ratio was 0.26% … Persons younger than 40 years had an infection fatality ratio of 0.01%; those aged 60 or older had an infection fatality ratio of 1.71%. Whites had an infection fatality ratio of 0.18%; non-Whites had an infection fatality ratio of 0.59%.”
The estimated infection fatality rate for seasonal influenza listed in this paper is 0.8%. So, the only people for whom SARS-CoV-2 infection is more dangerous than influenza are those over the age of 60.
All others have a lower risk of dying from COVID-19 than they have of dying from the flu. Put another way, if you’re under the age of 60, your chances of dying from the flu are greater than your chance of dying from COVID-19.
White House coronavirus task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx also confirmed this far lower than typically reported mortality rate when she, in mid-August 2020, stated that it “becomes more and more difficult” to get people to comply with mask rules “when people start to realize that 99% of us are going to be fine.”15
Expect Massive Propaganda Campaign to Boost Vaccine Uptake
With death rates being as low as they are for everyone under the age of 60, it really weakens the rationale for vaccinating the entire world, including newborns, the risk to whom the virus poses is virtually nil.
The vaccine looking increasingly unnecessary is likely a reason why the U.S. government is planning to launch an “overwhelming” COVID-19 vaccine campaign this fall, using carefully researched messages. As detailed in “Health and Autonomy in the 21st Century,” Yale University has conducted a trial16 to determine the type of message that will maximize acceptance and uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine. Messaging slants evaluated in the investigation included:17
Personal freedom message — A message about how COVID-19 is limiting people's personal freedom and how working together to get enough people vaccinated can preserve society’s personal freedoms. Economic freedom message — A message about how COVID-19 is limiting people's economic freedom and how, by working together to get enough people vaccinated, society can preserve its economic freedom. Self-interest message — A message that COVID-19 presents a real danger to one's health, even if one is young and healthy, with the idea being that getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the best way to prevent oneself from getting sick. Community interest message — A message about the dangers of COVID-19 to the health of loved ones. The idea to promote is that the more people who get vaccinated against COVID-19, the lower the risk that one's loved ones will get sick. The idea: Society must work together and all get vaccinated. Economic benefit message — A message about how COVID-19 is wreaking havoc on the economy and the only way to strengthen the economy is to work together to get enough people vaccinated. Guilt message — This message is about the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one's family and community, with the idea that the best way to protect them is by getting vaccinated, and that society must work together to get enough people vaccinated. Then it asks the participant to imagine the guilt they will feel if they don't get vaccinated and spread the disease. Embarrassment message — This message is about the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one's family and community. The idea to promote is that the best way to protect them is by getting vaccinated and by working together to make sure enough people get vaccinated. Then it asks the participant to imagine the embarrassment they will feel if they don't get vaccinated and subsequently spread the disease. Anger message — This message is about the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one's family and community. The sales idea is that the best way to protect them is by getting vaccinated and by working together to make sure that enough people get vaccinated. It then asks the participant to imagine the anger they will feel if they don't get vaccinated and spread the disease. Trust in science message — A message about how getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the most effective way of protecting one's community. It promotes the idea that vaccination is backed by science, and that anyone who doesn't get vaccinated doesn't understand how infections are spread or who ignores science. Not bravery message — A message which describes how firefighters, doctors, and front line medical workers are brave, and infers that those who choose not to get vaccinated against COVID-19 are not brave.
The study, which was completed July 8, 2020, also sought to determine:
Participant’s confidence in the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine after hearing the message in question
Participant’s willingness to persuade others to get vaccinated
Their fear of those who have not been vaccinated
The social judgment of those who choose not to vaccinate
Prosocial Pressure Tactics Work Best
Harvard Business School in collaboration with the Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has also published a working paper18 comparing self-interested versus prosocial motivations for COVID-19 prevention behaviors.
Considering the messages we’ve been bombarded with over the past few months — calling people who don’t wear masks “grandma killers” and so on — it seems clear that results from these kinds of investigations have been capitalized on.
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. ~ Voltaire
In that paper, “Don’t Get It or Don’t Spread It?” the authors review studies in which various types of messages were compared — messages highlighting the threat to self, versus the threat you might pose to others.
Overall, prosocial messages, i.e., messages that stress the importance of complying with prevention behaviors in order to protect others fared the best. According to the authors:19
“These results reveal that prosocial framing was more effective than self-interested framing, suggesting a potential primacy of prosocial motivations in supporting prevention intentions …
First, prosocial framing may have been relatively more effective not because prosocial motivations do more to drive prevention intentions, but rather because people believe that COVID-19 poses a greater threat to society than to themselves.
Indeed, subjects in Studies 1-2 did on average report that coronavirus posed a larger public than personal threat.
However, we find that the advantage of the Public treatment (relative to the Personal treatment) was not significantly moderated by ‘threat difference scores’ (i.e., differences between the reported personal vs. public threat of coronavirus), or significantly smaller among subjects who reported the personal threat of coronavirus to be as large or larger than the public threat …
Thus, we find evidence that the relative effectiveness of the Public treatment was not unique to subjects who saw COVID-19 as more threatening to society than to themselves.
A second possibility is that prosocial framing (which encourages people to avoid spreading coronavirus) was more effective than self-interested framing (which encourages people to avoid getting coronavirus) because people feel relatively more empowered to avoid spreading the virus.”
Stop Believing in the Lockdown
A powerful essay20 in the American Institute for Economic Research asks the question: Is the lockdown the best way to minimize casualties in this pandemic?
Using historical examples beginning with Voltaire’s words, “those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities,” the author reasons that lockdowns are not going to save the world from COVID-19, if for no other reason than whenever lockdowns are eased, infections naturally start to creep back up.
However, the vast majority of these “infections” or “cases” are asymptomatic. A rising “case” load does not mean people are actually getting sick and dying. The misuse of the medical term “case” is an egregious one, as historically, a “case” is defined as someone who has symptoms of a particular disease — someone who is actually sick.
Never in medical history has a “case” meant someone who is perfectly healthy and requires testing to determine whether they are infected with a particular pathogen. Would you get tested for the common cold or influenza if you had no symptoms? If the test happened to come back positive, would you with a straight face say you “have” a cold or the flu?
There are other myths, mostly scare tactics, that people are willingly believing that need to be stopped now, too, the author asserts — and it’s time to start questioning what is credulous and what is not. I encourage you to read that essay in its totality.
The Fatal Attraction of Techno-Fascism
Another article21 well worth reading is Mark Petrakis’ “The Fatal Attraction of Techno-Fascism.” This one also starts off with an excellent quote by Cato the Elder: “Those who are serious in ridiculous matters will be ridiculous in serious matters.” One of the first points he makes is that fascism is attractive because:
“… it requires so little from us, so little independent thought; just our basic belief and adherence to a limited set of popularly-shared directives and narratives that once fully accepted, relieve us of the need to address stubborn questions or to fret over subtle differences of opinion and feeling.
Propaganda reassures us that we are complete, that we know all there is to know, that we are rational, pragmatic and pure, that the science has been settled and that we are a part of something special.”
Petrakis goes on to discuss why propaganda and disinformation are required in order to maintain control in a fascist regime, and how truth is a liability that must be disallowed and penalized. In the end, the price we pay for this kind of intellectual laziness is “soul-crushing denial and disconnection.”
No one who has been paying attention this past year, in particular, can have missed that propaganda is in full swing, 24/7 and that both truthful facts and personal opinions that run counter to the established propaganda narrative are being censored and penalized in equal measure.
When it comes to COVID-19, the propaganda is so pervasive and widespread that it has actually shattered what Petrakis refers to as “the grandest illusion of all” that “must be maintained at all costs,” namely the appearance that the propaganda messages are randomly generated.
“It must always appear that the media’s coverage and the comments of experts are entirely free from any preconceived manipulation,” he says. Today, there is little doubt that the narrative we see is anything but free from bias. There’s little doubt that what we’re told is “weaponized storytelling,” to quote Petrakis yet again.
“Looking at our world, we can see that the reach and authority of the transnational global capitalists who run the world’s nation-sized casinos has been cemented. All systems are now in place, up and running LIVE on that criminal syndicate’s vast web of networks. Each one of us has by now been targeted by them for some form of surveillance and financialization …
The ‘A.I. control grids’ are all active and expanding. The technocratic agendas are now fully ready for prime-time.
We have been gradually ‘shepherded’ by propaganda and psychological torture techniques … under the ‘persistent’ control of A.I., which will guide the process of transmuting us into commodities, into plunderable assets, into digitally-regulated and genetically modified ‘livestock.’ Sadly, this is where decades of constant acquiescence to propaganda and institutional hypnosis has brought us …”
Ultimately, the economic system known as technocracy is tailor-made for the transhumanist revolution — which I touch upon in “Will New COVID Vaccine Make You Transhuman?” — where man is merged with technology and AI. As always, the lure will be greater convenience, self-improvement, and “a better world for all.”
What’s never mentioned is the ultimate price. The price for all of it is complete subjugation to faceless leaders who profit from your every move and therefore will dictate all of them.
COVID-19 Rules Mark ‘Hysterical Slide Into Police State’
I’ll end this with some observations by British Supreme Court judge Lord Sumption, who in a March 30, 2020, interview22 with The Post warned that COVID-19 rules are paving the way for despotism — the exercise of absolute power in a cruel and oppressive manner.
“The real problem is that when human societies lose their freedom, it’s not usually because tyrants have taken it away. It’s usually because people willingly surrender their freedom in return for protection against some external threat. And the threat is usually a real threat but usually exaggerated.
That’s what I fear we are seeing now. The pressure on politicians has come from the public. They want action. They don’t pause to ask whether the action will work. They don’t ask themselves whether the cost will be worth paying. They want action anyway. And anyone who has studied history will recognize here the classic symptoms of collective hysteria.
Hysteria is infectious. We are working ourselves up into a lather in which we exaggerate the threat and stop asking ourselves whether the cure may be worse than the disease.”
It is time to ask ourselves some very pressing questions. Is it reasonable to expect the government to eliminate ALL infection and ALL death? They’ve proven they cannot, yet we keep relinquishing more and more freedoms and liberties because they claim doing so will keep everyone safer. It’s an enticing lie, but a lie nonetheless.
Remember, they sold us on the business shutdowns and home quarantining by saying we just need to flatten the curve of infection to avoid hospital overcrowding. Now the curve is in a visible nosedive and hospitals are far from overcrowded with COVID-19 patients, yet lockdowns remain in many areas and some — Australia being a prime example — have reached astonishing new heights.
Sooner or later everyone must decide which is more important: Personal liberty or false security? Circling back to where I started, the good news is that many are in fact starting to see the writing on the wall; they’re starting to see we’ve been “had,” and are starting to choose liberty over brutal totalitarianism in the name of public health.

A famous author once stated that the idea of true prayer is one that involves a spiritual transaction between the Creator ( God ) and us .

The Idea of Faith
Translated directly from the Greek word “Pistis”, click here for more information about this. First derived and used together with any story that entailed the idea of trusting and having confidence in Jesus Christ or God, it gave people a sense of hope and belief that things will always work out for the good.
In the Bible, it refers to the things that have not been seen but that you know of and should have the assurance of receiving. The invisible spiritual things. Faith comes through prayer. When people pray they go in front of their saviors with the belief that he is there for them and their prayers, to most, are like a conversation with him and then. It is a very personal and specific thing to the person doing it.
There are no hard and fast rules to prayers, anyone can do it, loudly, silently, as a song, as a hymn, while sleeping, while walking, sitting, you name it. It is something that belongs to everyone whether they are believers or not. This is what the bible teaches, and this is what the churches teach as well.

Different Stages of Faith
According to various online resources, there are different stages of faith. There are no hard and fast written rules or information that states that everyone will go through these 6 stages, however, it has been seen to be of a high probability that people may.
The first stage is an Intuitive or Projective one: This one usually takes place during the early stages of pre-school years for an individual and entails a state of confusion and high impressionability through rituals and stories.
The second stage is based on a Mythic or Literal one: this is where the information that is given to the individual is accepted to conform with social norms and still happens during the periods one goes to school.
The Synthetic or Conventional stage is the third one: and is the stage where the faith that is assimilated is concreted in the belief system with the forgoing of embodiment and is replaced by and authority in individuals that represent one's beliefs, often during the adolescent periods.
The Reflective or Individuate stage if the fourth in line: here the individual(s) analyze critically the existing system and adopted faith within it. Typically, the strengthening of one’s faith starts to happen at this stage as they step into early adulthood and start having needs, and experiences.
The Fifth Stage is the Conjunctive Faith one: where people start realizing the limits of logic, and the various “mysteries” of life, they tend to go back to the scriptures and stories as symbols of their adopted faith. Almost like a negotiation during their mid-life.
The final stage is one of Universalizing faith: which is the “enlightenment” stage and starts to understand the universal principles of service to others, compassion and love usually go through this after they turn to their mid-40s and mid-60s, and have no more doubts about anything. They just live life without questioning it.
Learning How to Pray
The idea of prayer can be translated by many people in different ways. Some refer to it as a conversation with God, others may say it is asking God for things in life, some may also refer to it as a form of guidance, others don’t talk they just listen, while the opposite is true too. When one prays regularly, it is almost like you are developing your spiritual consciousness to hear messages and to be at peace with one’s self.
In some ways, it is like the act of meditation. When we meditate, we sit still in one position for as long as we can or desire, and we listen and focus our minds on one thing, and brush aside any thoughts that may come almost like clouds that get brushed with the wind.
When various thoughts, emotions, and feelings come to our mind we try and ignore them or block them from interrupting our focus. Daily Prayers are much in the same way because they are a conversation between two entities. You and God. You and a higher power. You and the Universe, whatever you may want to call it.
There is no set time to pray or any set way of doing it, it is all an individual and personal act. Do it whenever you are comfortable. Do it when you need guidance, do it when you want peace of mind, do it before a job interview, whatever comes naturally and feels the rightest thing to do, is prayer. You can talk, whisper, sing it or shout it out. It is all prayer.

Ensuring you're prepared for retirement requires you to utilize the capital you have wisely. Placing it in the stock market isn't the only option you have to grow your wealth. Investment vehicles, such as IRAs or a 401(k), can help you accumulate the funds you need to enjoy your post-career years.
401(k)
Using a 401(k) to help plan for retirement allows part of your paycheck to go toward funding this type of investment account regularly. Receiving automatic contributions from your salary makes it an efficient way to build value. You can control the contribution levels and usually take this account with you if you change jobs.
Traditional IRA
If you use a traditional IRA, you can contribute after-tax or pre tax dollars. At the age of 72 or 70 1/2, you're required to start taking distributions. One of the benefits of using an IRA is the tax-free growth you can receive. Unlike investing in the stock market, you won't have to pay any tax on the capital gains or dividends that your investments earn until they are distributed to you during retirement.
Roth IRA
Adding a Roth IRA to your portfolio is another way to diversify your funds. The most significant difference with this account and a traditional IRA is how your funds are taxed. When you withdraw funds from a Roth IRA, the money you receive will not be taxed. Also, there are income limitations, and you can only fund a Roth IRA with after-tax dollars, which means your contributions are not tax-deductible.
Self-Directed IRA
Deciding to use a self-directed IRA lets you put non-traditional assets to work. Traditional and Roth IRAs are limited to investment vehicles like stocks, bonds, ETFs or mutual funds. Using a self-directed IRA allows you to invest in real estate, precious metals, cryptocurrencies and private businesses. One of the most popular options people choose to invest in with a self-directed IRA is precious metals. These include metals like gold, silver and platinum.
Gold IRAs
Opening a gold IRA is usually done when you want to focus on acquiring physical precious metals. You're able to purchase eligible gold bars and coins that meet IRS regulations and place them in this account. You can also invest in silver or platinum bullion coins and bars that meet specific criteria. If you already have a 401(k), traditional or Roth IRA, you can roll these types of accounts over to assist with funding. It is important to note, according to the experts at Goldco, “If you're rolling over funds from a Roth account, you'll need to set up a Roth gold IRA.” When you start gold IRA investing, adding physical precious metals to your portfolio can act as a hedge against inflation and combat periods when economic conditions are showing signs of trouble.
Having a diverse portfolio that includes various investment vehicles should help ensure that your funds aren't subjected to wild swings when the stock market becomes volatile. Choosing to include non-traditional assets, such as gold, or take advantage of specific tax rules to help grow pretax dollars even larger can be advantageous in the long-term.

The wide range of antibodies contained in convalescent plasma – plasma from recovered COVID patients – have variable effectiveness in COVID patients .

Researchers in Pittsburgh have developed a drug that completely neutralizes the coronavirus The potential drug is called AB-8, a small piece of the anti-COVID antibodies that have been used to treat COVID patients by blocking or neutralizing the coronavirus. But this very small molecule appears to have major advantages over other drugs, and perhaps even vaccines.The wide range of antibodies contained in convalescent plasma – plasma from recovered COVID patients – have variable effectiveness in COVID patients. Now researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center have found the precise piece of the effective antibody that blocks coronavirus.
The way antibodies work against COVID is by attaching to and blocking the so-called spike protein that the coronavirus uses to attach to specific receptors on human cells. Through painstaking molecular analysis, the UPMC scientists identified a tiny piece of those neutralizing antibodies. Called AB-8, it’s the part that actually performs most of the virus blocking. Its small size, about one-tenth that of full-size antibodies, gives many advantages.
“It’s small, it’s potent, it’s part of a human antibody and its size means that it can even be given by inhalation,” said Dr. John Mellors of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
AB-8 doesn’t produce a wide range of antibodies as a vaccine does that might cause side effects, and it doesn’t have to be given by IV infusion. It could be given both to treat a COVID infection and to prevent COVID in high risk populations.
While AB-8 has only been tested in animals, most were mice that have the same corona receptors as humans and was shown to be safe.

consciouslifenews--2020-09-18--Will We Choose Freedom Or Fascism?

Will We Choose Freedom Or Fascism?

Here we are .
No more speculation about ‘ what awaits around the corner ’ ; the jail keepers are escorting us down the concrete corridor and the cell keys are hanging from his belt .
Each one of us , in turn , convicted – without notice and without trial – of being Human and electing to express ourselves accordingly .
That is the new definition of ‘ terrorist ’ .
The battle lines are drawn ; there is no other way to honestly state it , we are in the fight of – and for – our lives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ courage and conviction which comes with refusing to be derailed from the path of truth .
Or , capitulate to the central control system and fall into a very dark pit from which there is no charted escape .
We shall know each other by the caliber of our actions .
We do not have to wear a badge announcing ‘ the resistance ’ .
The army that we are becoming is forming organically .
No uniform required , no ‘ uniformity ’ visible .
We know our task and do not need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are aware of the composition of the war being waged upon us .
And we are aware of being susceptible to certain elements of its dark agenda .
So we know we have to rid ourselves of those vulnerabilities in order to come out on top .
That is the first lesson in the art of this form of warfare .
A warrior without self-discipline and self-awareness is a lost cause .
Confronting an often invisible enemy is a new game .
Yet a key component of our repressor ’ s armory draws @ @ @ @ @ @ @ irradiating technologies .
One deals with these by withdrawing one ’ s allegiance to the tools and practices of a mind-controlling ‘ convenience ‘ culture .
The tyranny which is now directly manifesting has taken hold as a result of the inability , or unwillingness , of those in positions of responsibility to break the top-down anti-life chain of command and stand firm for truth and justice .
Fear and bribery are the main tools being exerted to silence those who should not be silent .
This is leading to the complete capitulation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the state ’ – to maintain integrity , responsibility , and the imperative to uphold fundamentally civilized moral standards .
Yet there are many awakening to the realization of their imprisonment .
For some , this provokes a desire to seek shelter from the storm and , if possible , to turn a blind eye to recognize the degree to which their imprisonment stretches out into all corners of their daily lives .
But others , sensing the profound implications of what lies in store should they not take action , turn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the cause of justice , truth , and liberty .
Now the beauty of turning to face the music , is that an unseen cosmic element immediately provides support in the mission one has chosen to undertake .
Whereas for those who try to hide , no such propitious event occurs .
Choosing freedom makes one powerful .
But carries with it a keen sense of responsibility to ‘ practice as one preaches ’ .
It is not really possible to ditch all one ’ s bad habits in one go , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ path find out .

By Julian Rose | Waking Times
Here we are. No more speculation about ‘what awaits around the corner’; the jail keepers are escorting us down the concrete corridor and the cell keys are hanging from his belt. Each one of us, in turn, convicted – without notice and without trial – of being Human and electing to express ourselves accordingly. That is the new definition of ‘terrorist’.
The battle lines are drawn; there is no other way to honestly state it, we are in the fight of – and for – our lives. We go forward, with the courage and conviction which comes with refusing to be derailed from the path of truth. Or, capitulate to the central control system and fall into a very dark pit from which there is no charted escape.
We shall know each other by the caliber of our actions. We do not have to wear a badge announcing ‘the resistance’. The army that we are becoming is forming organically. No uniform required, no ‘uniformity’ visible. We know our task and do not need to wait for a command.
We are aware of the composition of the war being waged upon us. And we are aware of being susceptible to certain elements of its dark agenda. So we know we have to rid ourselves of those vulnerabilities in order to come out on top. That is the first lesson in the art of this form of warfare. A warrior without self-discipline and self-awareness is a lost cause.
Confronting an often invisible enemy is a new game. Yet a key component of our repressor’s armory draws upon weaponized digital, algorithmic, and irradiating technologies. One deals with these by withdrawing one’s allegiance to the tools and practices of a mind-controlling ‘convenience‘ culture.
The tyranny which is now directly manifesting has taken hold as a result of the inability, or unwillingness, of those in positions of responsibility to break the top-down anti-life chain of command and stand firm for truth and justice. Fear and bribery are the main tools being exerted to silence those who should not be silent.
This is leading to the complete capitulation – amongst all categories of ‘officers of the state’ – to maintain integrity, responsibility, and the imperative to uphold fundamentally civilized moral standards.
Yet there are many awakening to the realization of their imprisonment. For some, this provokes a desire to seek shelter from the storm and, if possible, to turn a blind eye to recognize the degree to which their imprisonment stretches out into all corners of their daily lives. But others, sensing the profound implications of what lies in store should they not take action, turn to face the music and become warriors in the cause of justice, truth, and liberty.
Now the beauty of turning to face the music, is that an unseen cosmic element immediately provides support in the mission one has chosen to undertake. Whereas for those who try to hide, no such propitious event occurs.
Choosing freedom makes one powerful. But carries with it a keen sense of responsibility to ‘practice as one preaches’. It is not really possible to ditch all one’s bad habits in one go, as those starting out on the conscious path find out. But it is possible, and absolutely necessary, to act on one’s key digressions without delay.
Making the decision to oppose the ways of the deep state and its corporate globalization spider’s web cannot involve resisting it with one hand and supporting it with the other. That is the road to somewhere worse than nowhere and the antithesis of the warrior’s path.
In order to ensure continuity between one’s words and one’s actions, one needs to take a quick scan of those daily routines that are not in line with one’s determination to stand for justice, truth, and liberty.
The most obvious priorities, given the nature of our oppressors, are to withdraw one’s support (money) from the major banks; one’s food purchasing from the major supermarkets, and one’s medicines from the major pharmaceutical companies. Other steps will follow, but without starting by withdrawing one’s support for these great behemoths of rampant social, ecological, and economic degradation, can one really say that one is standing against fascism and for freedom?
The dictatorship descending upon us – using the alibi of the current COVID chimera – provides the starkest opportunity most will ever have to turn to face the music. It is exactly the right catalyst to make one see, or at least seek, the truth – and then act on it.
The intentional chaos now manifesting is our wake-up call. The preplanned ‘order out of chaos‘ is the imposition of a fascist state; it’s that simple. And we have plenty of time to recognize the symptoms.
Every artery of society, in whatever part of the (post) industrialized ‘democratic’ world one might live in, has been steadily poisoned by the social engineering, predictive planning, and creeping technocratic agenda emanating from the deep state’s global ambition to rule the world. An ambition held earlier by the backers of Hitler in Nazi Germany, Franco in Spain Mussolini in Italy, and Stalin in Russia – to name a few.
Our political institutions have capitulated to the blueprint of the Fourth Reich and most of the population has gone along with them, not realizing what agenda is being played out.
The leading edge of the ‘new’ fascism is not an army of occupation, but a digital re-programming of the human mind. A technological toxic blanket of ‘virtual’ control separating man from nature, thus destroying the foundations of human evolution.
We who are now joining together, are doing so to create an army able to resist and turn around this cult of death. That’s why our own integrity in ‘practicing as we preach’ is so vital. We must use our powers of discrimination to see through our own vacillations and to dump the supposed ‘conveniences’ that undermine and delay our active commitment to respond to the key imperatives of our time.
Then, slowly but surely, the compromises that detour us from our goal – only to refresh the pockets of those we claim to be fighting – will be deleted and done away with. The integrated beings who emerge via successfully battling with their own vicissitudes will be the only ones capable of taking on the seemingly immovable oppressors of this planet, its peoples, and all the living entities that comprise its vast diversity.
The emancipation of all these rests upon the courage and voracity we invest in harnessing our inner and outer drives for integrity and truth. That is what it actually means to choose freedom over fascism.

When it comes to any facility with an air system, it’s important to know the benefits of why your facility needs an air compressor with good quality and to consider how to maximize your efficiency. In the case of your compressed air system, investing in optimization is an effective way to cut down on your costs and help save your business some extra costs. Compressed air tends to be one of the more costly sources of energy for many businesses, so having some ideas to optimize the system can be a great way to make your business all the more efficient.
Here are a few ways to make your system be a little more efficient and conserve a little more energy each day:
Fix your leaks
The leading cause of energy loss in most compressed air systems is wasted air; up to 30% of a compressor’s output is lost to leaks. Over time, these leaks can severely affect an air compressor’s efficiency.
Fix the problem by implementing a more comprehensive leak detection program to address the issue. The ideal program should include an annual leak detection program, as well as plans for tagging and repairing leaks immediately to minimize any damage. Leaks can appear anywhere, but pay special attention to pipe joints, pressure regulators, and shut-off valves as potential weak spots.
Install storage receivers
Storage receivers are a great method for aiding the system during short-term changes. Use them to reduce the on/off cycling and keep the pressure consistent. Pressure drops can increase system pressure and waste some of the system’s efficiency. Storage receivers used with check valves can also protect your machinery from pressure fluctuations that could damage important systems. Change your filters regularly
Approach filter maintenance more systematically

Your air compressor’s air filters are there to keep dirt and moisture out. Any particles in the system can restrict airflow and cause pressure drops. The key to maximum efficiency is timely maintenance and replacement for filter elements. For ideal results, inspect and replace old filters systematically to maintain air quality.
You can also take filter maintenance to the next level by going beyond the air compressor and compressor room. There are often other filters (namely the air-line and point-of-use filters) in your facility that need looking after to keep your system working at peak efficiency.
Recover your heat
Air compressors tend to produce plenty of heat as a byproduct. However, rather than see the heat as a waste product, it can be put to better use around your business. Invest in a heat recovery unit to help reuse the hot air; a well-designed unit can recover up to 90% of the energy used in air compression. You can use the “waste” heat to heat up colder areas in the building or heat your water, allowing you to save on energy costs even further. Think long-term
Long-term thinking is key to developing and implementing improvements to your system for maximum efficiency in the long run. For example, consider how an air compressor would interact with a system master controller. Installing a system master controller allows you to keep your used compressor operating in unison and helps you avoid unnecessary cycles that could waste precious energy.
Another thing to consider is the underlying causes of common issues. When it comes to your system’s health, look for the source of your problems rather than limit yourself to treating the symptoms.
