worldtruthtv--2020-05-11--BITCOIN Is An Illuminati Scam That Could Cause You To Lose Everything

As there are so many noobs buying into the “ Bitcoin casino ” right now , especially in Asia , the crypto-currency is now attracting a lot of people who think it ’ s just like a corporate stock .
In other words , they assume it ’ s regulated by somebody , that its promoters are subject to laws of some kind , and that the “ Bitcoin company ” must have all kinds of assets , earnings and profits .
Otherwise , why would its value keep rising , right ?
These assumptions are , of course , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ different beast… which is what some of us really liked about the Bitcoin structure in the first place ( decentralized , peer-to-peer , NOT regulated , etc . )
But when people are jumping into Bitcoin without an understanding of what it is , they are placing “ bets ” in a very risky casino system that they don ’ t really understand .
This is where the danger lies for noobs .
Thus , in the interest of public education , I ’ m listing ten simple things that most people don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ casino.
” # 1 ) Bitcoin isn ’ t a company .
It has no corporate entity .
You can ’ t sue “ Bitcoin , Inc. ” if the promises you were made about Bitcoin price valuations don ’ t pan out .
There is no Bitcoin , Inc. # 2 ) Bitcoin doesn ’ t have any earnings , revenues , profits or P/E ratios Stock prices of companies like Apple and Amazon , although inflated , at least have some basis in reality : These companies make products , own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ earn real profits , etc .
Bitcoin has none of these things : No earnings , no hard assets , no earnings reports , nothing .
In fact , Bitcoin has dozens of competitors ( other crypto-currencies ) , and some of them are technically quite superior to Bitcoin .
There ’ s nothing unique about Bitcoin , in other words , that would grant it a long-term monopoly over crypt-currencies .
# 3 ) Bitcoin trading isn ’ t really regulated by anyone Although a few lame attempts have been made to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crypto-currency really isn ’ t subject to any meaningful regulations .
This is both good and bad .
On the good side , governments can ’ t mess with it .
On the bad side , unscrupulous promoters can ’ t be stopped because there are virtually no regulations that govern their claims .
# 4 ) If the internet goes down , Bitcoin ceases to exist In the Bitcoin vs. Gold argument , remember that gold still exists when the power grid goes down , the internet comes to grinding halt , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bitcoin , unfortunately , vanishes if the ‘ net goes down .
Hence the entire reasoning behind why Bitcoin is not a legitimate “ store of value.
” ( Neither is the dollar , for that matter . )
# 5 ) Very few merchants accept Bitcoin as a form of payment ( although this could grow ) More than 99.9 % of all merchants do NOT accept Bitcoin as a form of payment .
This is largely due to the extreme volatility of Bitcoin price fluctuations , which can see a 50 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Roughly 100,000 merchants do accept Bitcoin at the moment , and that number could grow , but merchants don ’ t want to take the volatility risk that comes with holding Bitcoin , so until Bitcoin matures and settles into a more reliable pattern of valuations , merchants are likely to shun it for all the obvious reasons .
Remember when Bitcoin was promoted as a way to send money anywhere in the world almost instantly , for virtually no cost ?
Now , the average Bitcoin transaction fee is running over $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ DAYS to complete .
This is only going to worsen as transactional volume increases .
# 7 ) Because Bitcoin isn ’ t regulated by the SEC , Bitcoin promoters can claim any forward-looking estimates for future value Have you noticed Bitcoin promoters now claiming Bitcoin could rise to millions of dollars per Bitcoin ?
If they were promoting corporate stocks , they would be in jail for “ securities fraud.
” But because Bitcoin isn ’ t subject to any SEC regulations ( both a good and bad thing , depending on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make any claims they want , without being subject to any regulations at all .
Many of the claims are outlandish , pie-in-the-sky bunk .
# 8 ) You can ’ t sue anyone if you lose money in Bitcoin When Bitcoin crashes and you realize you were lied to about the $ 1 million valuation estimate being pushed by dishonest Bitcoin promoters , you can ’ t sue anyone because there is no Bitcoin , Inc .
The entire Bitcoin system is effectively unregulated .
There ’ s not even any jurisdiction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since it exists as a computational hologram on the global ‘ net .
# 9 ) Nearly all Bitcoin promoters have a conflict of interest in attracting more buyers into Bitcoin Nearly all the people who are rabidly promoting Bitcoin have a conflict of interest : They own Bitcoins .
And they realize the value of their Bitcoins will only rise if they find more people to buy into Bitcoin .
Thus , their promotion of Bitcoin is largely rooted in self-interest rather than rational analysis .
That ’ s why some of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would put a used car salesman to shame .
# 10 ) Bitcoin isn ’ t a very “ liquid ” market compared to the stock market .
Transactions can take DAYS to clear Most of the new buyers into Bitcoin have never sold Bitcoin .
They ’ ve only bought it .
So they assume that Bitcoin is easy to sell , sort of like selling stocks into the stock market .
Yet Bitcoin isn ’ t a stock market at all , and selling Bitcoin can be extremely difficult compared to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ downfall .
In a panic , Bitcoin sellers will find themselves trapped in Bitcoin , practically unable to sell on any sort of timely basis , even as the value plummets by the minute .
Conclusion : If you ’ re going to play in the Bitcoin casino , know the risks At this point , Bitcoin is a casino .
It didn ’ t start that way , but thanks to unscrupulous promoters , it has become a kind of Ponzi scheme where a never-ending supply of new buyers is required to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ convincing technically-ignorant noobs that Bitcoin is a magical source of endless wealth creation that has somehow been brought to Earth from an alternate universe .
The madness of crowds , of course , can continue for quite some time .
Bitcoin may yet rise substantially , but its eventual demise is a mathematical certainty .
If you ’ re going to play in the Bitcoin casino , you need to know what risks you ’ re taking on .
Technically , that risk include the risk of a total loss .
The more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way , the more I am getting attacked by Bitcoin hucksters who are trying to keep the “ pump and dump ” scheme going a little longer so they can sell their overvalued Bitcoins to clueless noobs .
They will earn millions of dollars if Bitcoin keeps rising .
I earn nothing if Bitcoin falls .
My only incentive is to warn my readers to not get hurt by all this .
I ’ m not posting articles to other websites or trying to interrupt the Bitcoin community for some bizarre reason .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ will remain so .
Central banks are a fraud .
But that doesn ’ t mean Bitcoin isn ’ t a risky casino at this point , either .
( Bubbles , bubbles , everywhere ! )
Just make sure you ’ re not one of those noobs who gets hurt by Bitcoin .
I ’ m also launching BitRAPED.com soon to document the eventual collapse of Bitcoin .
It should be live in a week or so .
I can ’ t tell you when the crash is coming .
It might @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 5 years .
It all depends on the psychology at this point , and psychology is fickle .
As long as more people can be recruited into the Bitcoin Ponzi scheme , it can keep rising for quite some time .
Perhaps we should rename it Bernie Madoff Coin !

These assumptions are, of course, completely false. Bitcoin is an entirely different beast… which is what some of us really liked about the Bitcoin structure in the first place (decentralized, peer-to-peer, NOT regulated, etc.) But when people are jumping into Bitcoin without an understanding of what it is, they are placing “bets” in a very risky casino system that they don’t really understand. This is where the danger lies for noobs.
Thus, in the interest of public education, I’m listing ten simple things that most people don’t know about the “Bitcoin casino.”
#1) Bitcoin isn’t a company. It has no corporate entity.
You can’t sue “Bitcoin, Inc.” if the promises you were made about Bitcoin price valuations don’t pan out. There is no Bitcoin, Inc.
#2) Bitcoin doesn’t have any earnings, revenues, profits or P/E ratios
Stock prices of companies like Apple and Amazon, although inflated, at least have some basis in reality: These companies make products, own fulfillment centers, have hard assets, earn real profits, etc. Bitcoin has none of these things: No earnings, no hard assets, no earnings reports, nothing. In fact, Bitcoin has dozens of competitors (other crypto-currencies), and some of them are technically quite superior to Bitcoin. There’s nothing unique about Bitcoin, in other words, that would grant it a long-term monopoly over crypt-currencies.
#3) Bitcoin trading isn’t really regulated by anyone
Although a few lame attempts have been made to criminalize Bitcoin in certain jurisdictions, the crypto-currency really isn’t subject to any meaningful regulations. This is both good and bad. On the good side, governments can’t mess with it. On the bad side, unscrupulous promoters can’t be stopped because there are virtually no regulations that govern their claims.
#4) If the internet goes down, Bitcoin ceases to exist
In the Bitcoin vs. Gold argument, remember that gold still exists when the power grid goes down, the internet comes to grinding halt, or a global nuclear war unfolds. Bitcoin, unfortunately, vanishes if the ‘net goes down. Hence the entire reasoning behind why Bitcoin is not a legitimate “store of value.” (Neither is the dollar, for that matter.)
#5) Very few merchants accept Bitcoin as a form of payment (although this could grow)
More than 99.9% of all merchants do NOT accept Bitcoin as a form of payment. This is largely due to the extreme volatility of Bitcoin price fluctuations, which can see a 50% fall in just 24 hours. Roughly 100,000 merchants do accept Bitcoin at the moment, and that number could grow, but merchants don’t want to take the volatility risk that comes with holding Bitcoin, so until Bitcoin matures and settles into a more reliable pattern of valuations, merchants are likely to shun it for all the obvious reasons.
#6) Bitcoin transactions aren’t “free” – they’re currently running $23.66 per transaction
Remember when Bitcoin was promoted as a way to send money anywhere in the world almost instantly, for virtually no cost? Now, the average Bitcoin transaction fee is running over $23, and many confirmations are taking DAYS to complete. This is only going to worsen as transactional volume increases.
#7) Because Bitcoin isn’t regulated by the SEC, Bitcoin promoters can claim any forward-looking estimates for future value
Have you noticed Bitcoin promoters now claiming Bitcoin could rise to millions of dollars per Bitcoin? If they were promoting corporate stocks, they would be in jail for “securities fraud.” But because Bitcoin isn’t subject to any SEC regulations (both a good and bad thing, depending on the context), Bitcoin promoters can make any claims they want, without being subject to any regulations at all. Many of the claims are outlandish, pie-in-the-sky bunk.
#8) You can’t sue anyone if you lose money in Bitcoin
When Bitcoin crashes and you realize you were lied to about the $1 million valuation estimate being pushed by dishonest Bitcoin promoters, you can’t sue anyone because there is no Bitcoin, Inc. The entire Bitcoin system is effectively unregulated. There’s not even any jurisdiction under which Bitcoin can be sued, since it exists as a computational hologram on the global ‘net.
#9) Nearly all Bitcoin promoters have a conflict of interest in attracting more buyers into Bitcoin
Nearly all the people who are rabidly promoting Bitcoin have a conflict of interest: They own Bitcoins. And they realize the value of their Bitcoins will only rise if they find more people to buy into Bitcoin. Thus, their promotion of Bitcoin is largely rooted in self-interest rather than rational analysis. That’s why some of the unscrupulous sales tactics now being witnessed would put a used car salesman to shame.
#10) Bitcoin isn’t a very “liquid” market compared to the stock market. Transactions can take DAYS to clear
Most of the new buyers into Bitcoin have never sold Bitcoin. They’ve only bought it. So they assume that Bitcoin is easy to sell, sort of like selling stocks into the stock market. Yet Bitcoin isn’t a stock market at all, and selling Bitcoin can be extremely difficult compared to buying Bitcoin, especially in a market downfall. In a panic, Bitcoin sellers will find themselves trapped in Bitcoin, practically unable to sell on any sort of timely basis, even as the value plummets by the minute.
Conclusion: If you’re going to play in the Bitcoin casino, know the risks
At this point, Bitcoin is a casino. It didn’t start that way, but thanks to unscrupulous promoters, it has become a kind of Ponzi scheme where a never-ending supply of new buyers is required to keep propping up the price… mostly by convincing technically-ignorant noobs that Bitcoin is a magical source of endless wealth creation that has somehow been brought to Earth from an alternate universe.
The madness of crowds, of course, can continue for quite some time. Bitcoin may yet rise substantially, but its eventual demise is a mathematical certainty. If you’re going to play in the Bitcoin casino, you need to know what risks you’re taking on. Technically, that risk include the risk of a total loss.
The more I write about Bitcoin, by the way, the more I am getting attacked by Bitcoin hucksters who are trying to keep the “pump and dump” scheme going a little longer so they can sell their overvalued Bitcoins to clueless noobs. They will earn millions of dollars if Bitcoin keeps rising. I earn nothing if Bitcoin falls. My only incentive is to warn my readers to not get hurt by all this. I’m not posting articles to other websites or trying to interrupt the Bitcoin community for some bizarre reason. I’ve always been pro-crypto-currency and will remain so. Central banks are a fraud. But that doesn’t mean Bitcoin isn’t a risky casino at this point, either. (Bubbles, bubbles, everywhere!)
Just make sure you’re not one of those noobs who gets hurt by Bitcoin. I’m also launching BitRAPED.com soon to document the eventual collapse of Bitcoin. It should be live in a week or so. I can’t tell you when the crash is coming. It might be 5 hours, 5 weeks or 5 years. It all depends on the psychology at this point, and psychology is fickle. As long as more people can be recruited into the Bitcoin Ponzi scheme, it can keep rising for quite some time. Perhaps we should rename it Bernie Madoff Coin!

worldtruthtv--2020-05-09--Why Globalists Are Actively Working To Exterminate 90% of The Human Race

Globalists are actively working to exterminate 90 % of the human race , telling themselves that eliminating “ useless eaters ” is the only way to “ save the planet.
” The annihilation of the vast majority of humans on planet Earth is now openly advocated by left-wing influencers and the wealthy elite , including Bill Gates , Ted Turner and even comedians like Bill Maher who just wants people to , “ Not have kids , DIE , and stay dead.
” “ As he argued that humans hurt the environment , he concluded that it would be better @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not have kids , die and stay dead , ’ ” reports NewsBusters.org .
Understand that deranged Leftists really believe the planet will be destroyed if humans are allowed to survive much longer .
Left-wing nut case Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warns that planet Earth only has 12 more years before it will be destroyed by “ climate change ” — a completely fabricated junk science narrative invented by power-hungry Leftists who are almost universally illiterate in the realm of real science .
Because Leftists truly believe humans are a threat to the planet , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the mass genocide of human beings around the world .
After all , they are trying to “ save the planet , ” they tell themselves , which means in their minds , the ends justify the means .
Watch “ The Annihilation Agenda ” video at this link on Counterthink.com .
Washington State about to legalize the composting of human corpses to “ recycle ” them into the food supply As the global annihilation agenda is ramping up , laws are now being pushed that will allow governments to efficiently dispose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” them back into the food supply .
( Soylent Green , anyone ? )
In the state of Washington , for example , a new “ human composting ” bill has been passed by the state House and Senate .
Once signed into law , it would allow human corpses to be liquefied and flushed into the sewer system .
From there , “ biosludge ” is collected by every city in America — including Seattle — where it is dehydrated and trucked out to the rural farms in surrounding areas .

This is all explained in my jaw-dropping film “ Biosludged , ” available for free at Biosludged.com .
( You can watch the film , or even download the raw video files and share the files on torrents , if you wish . )
Effectively , what this means is that human corpses are going to be “ recycled ” back into the food supply in Washington .
Soon , this will be authorized across America .
It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ globalists unleash their “ kill switch ” biological weapon that ’ s designed to kill off at least 90 % of the global population .
Once that is accomplished , human labor will be replaced by automated robots , while armed Google “ suicide drones ” seek out and exterminate the human survivors living in the rubble of cities like Seattle .
The U.S. government must find a way to exterminate the masses , or it will be financially wiped out by 2035 What many people don ’ t yet realize is that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ too many entitlement promises that simply can not be met if human beings are allowed to survive .
Exterminating 90 % of the population is now deemed a “ necessary step ” to keeping those governments financially solvent by erasing trillions in financial obligations such as retirement pensions , Medicare and Social Security .
As the Wall Street Journal now reports , the Social Security Administration ( SSA ) goes cash flow negative in 2020 and will be completely looted and penniless by 2035 , even as it owes trillions to future entitlement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trust funds for both programs will be depleted , and Social Security will no longer be able to pay its full scheduled benefits unless Congress steps in to shore up the program , ” reports the WSJ .
“ More broadly , rising Social Security and Medicare costs are also expected to weigh on the federal budget .

If the masses are allowed to live , they will eventually overrun / overthrow the governments that fail to keep their entitlement promises .
The answer to all this ?
Globalists will unleash a bioweapon that kills off 90 % of the human population .
After all , people who are dead no longer receive government “ benefits.

Washington State about to legalize the composting of human corpses to “recycle” them into the food supply
As the global annihilation agenda is ramping up, laws are now being pushed that will allow governments to efficiently dispose of billions of bodies by “recycling” them back into the food supply. (Soylent Green, anyone?)
In the state of Washington, for example, a new “human composting” bill has been passed by the state House and Senate. Once signed into law, it would allow human corpses to be liquefied and flushed into the sewer system.

The “welfare state” is obviously unsustainable. If the masses are allowed to live, they will eventually overrun / overthrow the governments that fail to keep their entitlement promises.

“School is the advertising agency which makes you believe that you need the society as it is.” –Ivan Illich
“When Students cheat on exams it’s because our School System values grades more than Students value learning.” –Neil deGrasse Tyson
“The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed a standard citizenry, to put down dissent and originality.” –H.L. Mencken
When children start going to school, not only they spend most of their day in the classroom, but they start being conditioned to the 8 to 5 schedule which will be the blueprint of their future.
Let’s highlight the main points that the education system is very successful in imprinting on the minds of our children:
Truth comes from Authority
Intelligence is the ability to remember and repeat
Accurate memory and repetition are rewarded
Non compliance is punished
Conform: Intellectually and socially

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” –Albert Einstein
“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” –Alvin Toffler
Education should be a process of stimulating and awakening people at the core of their being, thereby enabling them to sense the reality of interconnections to appreciate the infinite potential in each person, in order to unlock and develop the power within to create happiness.

Arkansas Prof Arrested For Concealing ‘Close’ Ties To China; Accused of ‘Scheme To Defraud’ While Receiving Millions In Grants

A professor at the University of Arkansas who received millions of dollars in research grants , including $ 500,000 from NASA , was arrested on Friday and charged with one count of wire fraud , according to a criminal affidavit unsealed Monday .
63-year-old Simon Saw-Teong Ang is the director of the school ’ s High Density Electronics Center , which received funding from the National Science Foundation ( NSF ) , Department of Energy ( DOE ) , Department of Defense ( DOD ) and NASA .
Since 2013 , Ang has been the primary investigator or co-investigator on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ million , according to the Washington Examiner ‘ s Jerry Dunleavy .
According to the FBI , Ang failed to disclose that he was getting paid by a Chinese university and Chinese companies in violation of university policy .
He is accused of making false statements while failing to disclose his extensive ties to China as a member of the “ Thousand Talents Scholars ” program .
“ Ang intentionally made materially false representations to the University of Arkansas and NASA which caused with transmission to be sent and received in the form @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he would not otherwise have been entitled to receive , ” wrote FBI special agent Jonathan Willett in the affidavit .
“ The complaint charges that Ang had close ties with the Chinese government and Chinese companies , and failed to disclose those ties when required to do so in order to receive grant money from NASA , ” said the Justice Department .
“ These materially false representations to NASA and the University of Arkansas resulted in numerous wires to be sent and received that facilitated Ang ’ s scheme to defraud.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ang ’ s activities after a hard drive was turned into the university ’ s lost and found .
In an attempt to determine who it belonged to , a staff member discovered an email exchanges between the professor and a visiting researcher from Xidian University in Xi ’ an China in a file conspicuously labeled “ Ang_Confidential.pdf.
” In one email from September 15 , 2018 , Ang writes : “ Dear [ RESEARCHER 1 ] , I want you to understand that I will do my best to support your stay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that are becoming very difficult for me recently because of the political climate .
You can search the Chiense website regarding what the US will do to Thousand Talent Scholars .
Not many people here know I am one of them but if this leaks out , my job here will be in deep troubles .
I have to be very careful or else I may be out of a job from this university .
I hope you understand my deep concerns…Please keep this to yourself as I trust you.
” In November @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chaired by Sen .
Rob Portman ( R-OH ) released a 109-page bipartisan report which concluded that foreign nations “ seek to exploit America ’ s openness to advance their own national interests , ” the most ambitious of which “ has been China , ” according to the Examiner .
According to the report , Chinese academics involved in their so-called ‘ Thousand Talents ’ program have been exploiting access to US research labs .
Ang applied for and was awarded a NASA grant for a November 2016 proposal titled “ 500° @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Environment Exploration.
” The government funding was worth $ 512,904 between 2017 and 2020 , and he got it despite NASA ’ s “ China Funding Restriction.
” The NASA contracting officer overseeing the $ 500,000 grant said it never would have been awarded to Ang if they had known about his vast China connections .
–Washington Examiner According to the FBI , Ang did disclose his participation in the “ Thousand Talents Scholars ” in 2014 , but not his participation in other programs from 2012 – 2018 , which the FBI @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a scheme do defraud the University of Arkansas and NASA ” since he “ obviously knew about the requirement to disclosure such conflicts of interest and deliberately kept all such conflicts of interest ” from them .
In addition to his participation in the Thousand Talents program , Ang concealed his role at Binzhou Maotong Electronic Technology Company from 2011 – 2018 while acting as their principal investigator for a research project concerning hydrogen fuel cell research .
He also failed to mention that he was the CTO at Binzhou Gande Electronic Technology @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as his stake in Jiangsu Xuanzhi New Materials and Technology Company – which he claimed to own between 7 – 9 % of in an email.The Justice Department ’ s China Initiative , launched in 2018 , aims to combat both Chinese malign influence ( ranging from cyberespionage to technology theft ) and its Thousand Talents Program , which is aimed at stealing research .
The department charged Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei in a global racketeering scheme earlier this year .

A professor at the University of Arkansas who received millions of dollars in research grants, including $500,000 from NASA, was arrested on Friday and charged with one count of wire fraud, according to a criminal affidavit unsealed Monday.
63-year-old Simon Saw-Teong Ang is the director of the school’s High Density Electronics Center, which received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Defense (DOD) and NASA. Since 2013, Ang has been the primary investigator or co-investigator on US government-funded grants totaling over $5 million, according to the Washington Examiner‘s Jerry Dunleavy.
According to the FBI, Ang failed to disclose that he was getting paid by a Chinese university and Chinese companies in violation of university policy. He is accused of making false statements while failing to disclose his extensive ties to China as a member of the “Thousand Talents Scholars” program.
“Ang intentionally made materially false representations to the University of Arkansas and NASA which caused with transmission to be sent and received in the form of grant applications and grant funding that he would not otherwise have been entitled to receive,” wrote FBI special agent Jonathan Willett in the affidavit.
“The complaint charges that Ang had close ties with the Chinese government and Chinese companies, and failed to disclose those ties when required to do so in order to receive grant money from NASA,” said the Justice Department. “These materially false representations to NASA and the University of Arkansas resulted in numerous wires to be sent and received that facilitated Ang’s scheme to defraud.”
The FBI was tipped off to Ang’s activities after a hard drive was turned into the university’s lost and found. In an attempt to determine who it belonged to, a staff member discovered an email exchanges between the professor and a visiting researcher from Xidian University in Xi’an China in a file conspicuously labeled “Ang_Confidential.pdf.”
In one email from September 15, 2018, Ang writes:
“Dear [RESEARCHER 1], I want you to understand that I will do my best to support your stay here in Arkansas, there are things that are becoming very difficult for me recently because of the political climate. You can search the Chiense website regarding what the US will do to Thousand Talent Scholars. Not many people here know I am one of them but if this leaks out, my job here will be in deep troubles. I have to be very careful or else I may be out of a job from this university. I hope you understand my deep concerns…Please keep this to yourself as I trust you.”
In November, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations chaired by Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) released a 109-page bipartisan report which concluded that foreign nations “seek to exploit America’s openness to advance their own national interests,” the most ambitious of which “has been China,” according to the Examiner. According to the report, Chinese academics involved in their so-called ‘Thousand Talents’ program have been exploiting access to US research labs.
Ang applied for and was awarded a NASA grant for a November 2016 proposal titled “500° Celsius Capable Weather-Resistant Electronics Packaging for Extreme Environment Exploration.” The government funding was worth $512,904 between 2017 and 2020, and he got it despite NASA’s “China Funding Restriction.” The NASA contracting officer overseeing the $500,000 grant said it never would have been awarded to Ang if they had known about his vast China connections. –Washington Examiner
According to the FBI, Ang did disclose his participation in the “Thousand Talents Scholars” in 2014, but not his participation in other programs from 2012 – 2018, which the FBI suggested demonstrated ‘his intent to execute a scheme do defraud the University of Arkansas and NASA” since he “obviously knew about the requirement to disclosure such conflicts of interest and deliberately kept all such conflicts of interest” from them.
In addition to his participation in the Thousand Talents program, Ang concealed his role at Binzhou Maotong Electronic Technology Company from 2011 – 2018 while acting as their principal investigator for a research project concerning hydrogen fuel cell research. He also failed to mention that he was the CTO at Binzhou Gande Electronic Technology from 2011 – 2018, as well as his stake in Jiangsu Xuanzhi New Materials and Technology Company – which he claimed to own between 7 – 9% of in an email.The Justice Department’s China Initiative, launched in 2018, aims to combat both Chinese malign influence (ranging from cyberespionage to technology theft) and its Thousand Talents Program, which is aimed at stealing research. The department charged Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei in a global racketeering scheme earlier this year.
On Friday, Dr. Xiao-Jiang Li, a former Emory University professor and Chinese Thousand Talents Program participant, pleaded guilty to filing false tax returns after he worked overseas at Chinese universities and did not report any of his foreign income on his federal tax returns.

Feds Find Cozy Connections Nationwide Between China & University Professors
The Chinese Virus began infiltrating the United States in early 2020, but the communist country already had a foot in the door well before then.
In the last year, Campus Reform has covered multiple instances of U.S. law enforcement officials charging professors and students with lying about their ties to China while conducting U.S.-funded research and even attempting to smuggle U.S.-funded researched to China.
In the summer of 2019, UCLA adjunct professor Yi-Chi Shih was found guilty of conspiring to steal U.S. missile secrets for China.

worldtruthtv--2020-05-13--The Worst Is Yet To Come: Contact Tracing, Immunity Cards and Mass Testing

No one is safe .
No one is immune .
No one gets spared the anguish , fear and heartache of living under the shadow of an authoritarian police state .
That ’ s the message being broadcast 24/7 with every new piece of government propaganda , every new law that criminalizes otherwise lawful activity , every new policeman on the beat , every new surveillance camera casting a watchful eye , every sensationalist news story that titillates and distracts , every new prison or detention center built to house troublemakers and other undesirables , every new court ruling that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strip and steal and rape and ravage the citizenry , every school that opts to indoctrinate rather than educate , and every new justification for why Americans should comply with the government ’ s attempts to trample the Constitution underfoot .
Yes , COVID-19 has taken a significant toll on the nation emotionally , physically , and economically , but there are still greater dangers on the horizon .
As long as “ we the people ” continue to allow the government to trample our rights in the so-called name of national security @ @ @ @ @ @ @ better .
Now there ’ s talk of mass testing for COVID-19 antibodies , screening checkpoints , contact tracing , immunity passports to allow those who have recovered from the virus to move around more freely , and snitch tip lines for reporting “ rule breakers ” to the authorities .
If you can ’ t read the writing on the wall , you need to pay better attention .
These may seem like small , necessary steps in the war against the COVID-19 virus , but they ’ re only necessary to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ further undermine the Constitution , extend its control over the populace , and feed its insatiable appetite for ever-greater powers .
Nothing is ever as simple as the government claims it is .
Whatever dangerous practices you allow the government to carry out now—whether it ’ s in the name of national security or protecting America ’ s borders or making America healthy again—rest assured , these same practices can and will be used against you when the government decides to set its sights on you .
The war on drugs turned out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people , waged with SWAT teams and militarized police .
The war on terror turned out to be a war on the American people , waged with warrantless surveillance and indefinite detention .
The war on immigration turned out to be a war on the American people , waged with roving government agents demanding “ papers , please.
” This war on COVID-19 will be yet another war on the American people , waged with all of the surveillance weaponry at the government ’ s disposal : thermal imaging cameras , drones , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
So you see , when you talk about empowering government agents to screen the populace in order to control and prevent spread of this virus , what you ’ re really talking about is creating a society in which ID cards , round ups , checkpoints and detention centers become routine weapons used by the government to control and suppress the populace , no matter the threat .
This is also how you pave the way for a national identification system of epic proportions .
Imagine it : a national classification system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your health status but also allows the government to sort you in a hundred other ways : by gender , orientation , wealth , medical condition , religious beliefs , political viewpoint , legal status , etc .
Are you starting to get the bigger picture yet ?

The ramifications of such a “ show me your papers ” society in which government officials are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ identify themselves , and subject them to patdowns , warrantless screenings , searches , and interrogations are beyond chilling .
By allowing government agents to establish a litmus test for individuals to be able to exit a state of lockdown and engage in commerce , movement and any other right that corresponds to life in a supposedly free society , it lays the groundwork for a society in which you are required to identify yourself at any time to any government worker who demands it for any reason .
Such tactics quickly lead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with government agents empowered to force anyone and everyone to prove they are in compliance with every statute and regulation on the books .

Unfortunately , in this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to move about freely is being pitted against the government ’ s power to lock down communities at a moment ’ s notice .
And in this tug-of-war between individual freedoms and government power , “ we the people ” have been on the losing end of the deal .

Add to this the fact that businesses , schools and other facilities are relying more and more on fingerprints and facial recognition to identify us .
All the while , data companies such as Acxiom are capturing vast caches of personal information to help airports , retailers , police and other government authorities instantly determine whether someone is the person he or she claims to be .
This informational glut—used to great advantage by both the government and corporate sectors—has converged into a mandate for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a national ID card that would store information as basic as a person ’ s name , birth date and place of birth , as well as private information , including a Social Security number , fingerprint , retinal scan and personal , criminal and financial records .

Third , and perhaps most important , identification had a paralyzing effect on its victims .
In South Africa during apartheid , pass books were used to regulate the movement of black citizens and segregate the population .

For those tempted to justify these draconian measures for whatever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the economy , or national security—remember , you can ’ t have it both ways .
You can ’ t live in a constitutional republic if you allow the government to act like a police state .
You can ’ t claim to value freedom if you allow the government to operate like a dictatorship .
You can ’ t expect to have your rights respected if you allow the government to treat whomever it pleases with disrespect and an utter disregard for the rule of law .

worldtruthtv--2020-05-15--Guide How To Cut Out Processed Foods & Begin Eating Real Food

Making dietary changes can be tough .
It is by far one of the biggest topics I discuss with people when it comes to questions about making healthy lifestyle changes .
One of the toughest parts ?
We are addicted to many foods and how they make us feel .
Processed foods are so important to get off of as they contain a lot of ingredients that are very poor for our health and cause many chronic illnesses .
Things like artificial colors , sweeteners , preservatives and low quality ingredients are a recipe for poor health .
Certain foods @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come with certain addictive qualities , so trying to cut them or other foods out can be tough .
In other cases , it may not even be addictive qualities in the food , the way it makes you feel or the habitual nature of eating it .
For example , when you eat heavier foods you get this feeling of being heavy or full .
Over time , we associate this feeling with “ OK I ’ m full , time to stop eating.
” Whereas when you eat other foods that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need but don ’ t make you feel as full , you begin feeling like you are still hungry or crave the ‘ full ’ feeling .
This can be one of the toughest parts of making dietary changes .
Each of us respond differently to food changes as we all have different levels of motivation and will power as well .
For some of us , going cold turkey is an option , while others take it more slowly and let the body adjust along the way .
Either way , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ better what we put in our bodies as it ’ s a key element in determining our health .
Emotions & thoughts are important too , but we will leave that for this article .
So how can we get ourselves off of processed foods easily ?
Here is a simple plan you can begin implementing one week at a time .
After about 1 season , you should be good to go on eating healthy and clean .
Of course , you can speed this process up as much as you like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this method it begins week by week and in each week you focus on something new .

Making dietary changes can be tough. It is by far one of the biggest topics I discuss with people when it comes to questions about making healthy lifestyle changes. One of the toughest parts? We are addicted to many foods and how they make us feel. Processed foods are so important to get off of as they contain a lot of ingredients that are very poor for our health and cause many chronic illnesses. Things like artificial colors, sweeteners, preservatives and low quality ingredients are a recipe for poor health.
Certain foods like sugar or coffee for example, come with certain addictive qualities, so trying to cut them or other foods out can be tough. In other cases, it may not even be addictive qualities in the food, the way it makes you feel or the habitual nature of eating it. For example, when you eat heavier foods you get this feeling of being heavy or full. Over time, we associate this feeling with “OK I’m full, time to stop eating.” Whereas when you eat other foods that provide all the nutrients and energy you need but don’t make you feel as full, you begin feeling like you are still hungry or crave the ‘full’ feeling. This can be one of the toughest parts of making dietary changes.
Each of us respond differently to food changes as we all have different levels of motivation and will power as well. For some of us, going cold turkey is an option, while others take it more slowly and let the body adjust along the way. Either way, it’s important to take steps to better what we put in our bodies as it’s a key element in determining our health. Emotions & thoughts are important too, but we will leave that for this article.
So how can we get ourselves off of processed foods easily? Here is a simple plan you can begin implementing one week at a time. After about 1 season, you should be good to go on eating healthy and clean. Of course, you can speed this process up as much as you like to get going even faster.
In this method it begins week by week and in each week you focus on something new. As you begin implementing what you need to adjust in that week, go onto the next week but continue cutting out what you did each week prior.
Week 1: Eat two fruits and/or vegetables per meal. By eating a minimum of two different fruits or vegetables (preferably organic) with every breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you will get your fruit and veggie intake up enough to begin hitting the daily recommended minimums. This will already start making you feel better.
Week 2: “Real” beverages! Beverages will be limited to water, coffee, tea, kombucha, almond, rice or coconut milks, and ACTUAL fruit or vegetable juice. This means fruit juices containing only fruits and water. No sugars or artificial sweeteners, concentrates, preservatives etc. I know this might seem tough at first but stick to it and it will make a big difference. For coffee, try and limit to one cup a day.
Week 3: Meat – If you eat meat, try and consume locally raised and organic if you can. Meat consumption will also be limited to 2 – 4 servings per week, and will not be the “focal point” of the meal. Meat is extremely over eaten especially in North American culture. Humans do not even require meat yet we eat it in extreme abundance which leads to heart disease. The more you can limit it, the better.
Week 4: Cut out fast foods and deep-fried foods as much as possible. Avoiding this will be a big one as there are a lot of chemicals in fast foods. If you can also cut out deep-fried foods, this will help greatly in cutting out unhealthy oils.
Week 5: OK, It’s been about a month and now it’s time for a step I think is very important. Observe how you feel so far. Are you noticing differences in your energy? Have pains and headaches decreased or increased? Do you feel more mentally aware? Looking at various ways you feel will get you to see whether your body might be going through addiction withdrawal or if you perhaps were mentally addicted to foods and are craving to have them back. This is a good point to simply see how you feel while continuing what you’ve done along the way.
Week 6: Try out two new whole foods. Whole foods are simply foods that have been untouched from their natural state and haven’t had anything added to them. So you can go to the grocery store and pick a few new whole foods and try them out. This will get you finding new favorites you enjoy.
Week 7: Cut out foods labelled low-fat, lite or non-fat food products. The reason for this is in the process of making things low fat or non-fat, most of the time more sugars or carbs are added to the equation which is why many people still gain weight when eating these products. For years we have seen these products not work. It’s about eating whole foods as much as possible.
Week 8: Consume 100% whole grain or sprouted grain breads. White flour is a really tough thing for the body to digest. Even whole wheat bread is not much better. The healthier the bread you eat, the easier your body can digest the bread and keep you intestines clear of gluten so you can absorb nutrients more easily. If you can limit your bread intake to 2 or 3 slices every couple of days, that would be a great step.
Week 9: Stop eating when you feel full. This goes back to something I mentioned above, when you feel full during a meal, take the note from your body and stop eating.
Week 10: Cut out refined or artificial sweeteners. This is probably one of the biggest ones. The effects of sweeteners like aspartame and high fructose corn syrup on your body is so shocking that they should be illegal. In fact, aspartame was illegal for a long time until the wrong people got in power and made it legal. You can find out more about that here. Also try and cut out refined sugars like white sugar, brown sugar, sucanat, splenda, stevia, agave, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, brown rice syrup, and cane juice. Use things like honey, coconut sugar and maple syrup to sweeten things.
Week 11: Cut out refined oils. The more oils are processed the more they become bad for our bodies to consume. Cut out hydrogenated oils, vegetable oil, organic vegetable oil, soybean oil, corn oil, canola oil, organic canola oil, margarine, and grape seed oil. Focus on better oils like olive or hemp oil in salads or unscented coconut oil for cooking.
Week 12: Eat local foods. Do you best to include locally grown and organic foods into your meals as much as possible Begin with one per meal if you can. Depending on the growing season you can find things like fruits, vegetables, eggs, grains, nuts, and sweeteners like honey.
Week 13: Nothing artificial! This is where you cut out anything that is artificial like colors, sweeteners and flavours. You should already be half way on this one by the time you get here.
Week 14: No more than 5 ingredients! When choosing packaged foods, look for no more than 5 ingredients total. This will usually mean you are getting a less processed and more natural product. Yes, it won’t keep as long, but that is a good one!
Even if you are unable to keep to this perfectly, keeping all of this in mind and using it as much as possible is going to make a big impact on cutting out processed foods and beginning to eat a lot more healthy. If you are able to afford some organic foods but not all, be sure to check out which foods are most important to buy organic!

Apparently, whenever you feel resentful, regretful, or replay some bad memories in the head, the body suffers equally to your mind. Therefore, focusing on such negative emotions causes devastating long-term disease.
The solution? — Forgiveness.
Forgiveness is not a sign of submission, weakness, or a flaw. Actually, it is a trait of strong personalities.
The Greater Good Science Center claims“psychologists generally define forgiveness as a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness.”
Yet, forgiveness is not an event but a process, and this explains the difference between decisional forgiveness and emotional forgiveness.
This distinction has been depicted as follows:
“Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral intention to resist an unforgiving stance and to respond differently toward a transgressor. Emotional forgiveness is the replacement of negative unforgiving emotions with positive other-oriented emotions. Emotional forgiveness involves psychophysiological changes, and it has more direct health and well-being consequences.”
The Journal of Behavioral Medicine published a study which confirmed that a forgiving personality was linked to better subjective well-being and psychological well-being.
Other studies have found a link between forgiveness and better sleep quality, reduced fatigue, improved physical symptoms, fewer medications used, and fewer somatic complaints.
Forgiveness also supports heart health. As found in a study published in the American Journal of Cardiology, forgiveness has a more cardioprotective profile, while anger and other negative emotions had cardiotoxic effects. The conclusion of the researchers was as follows:

Participants revisited hurtful memories and grudges, and researchers evaluated their facial muscle tension, heart rate, blood pressure, and sweat gland activity.
Afterward, they asked participants to imagine granting forgiveness toward real-life offenders, and found that “forgiving thoughts prompted greater perceived control and comparatively lower physiological stress responses.”
This showed that negative emotions increased stress response and stimulated the production of sweat, while forgiveness relaxed their facial muscles, and lowered blood pressure.
They concluded that “…chronic unforgiving responses may erode health whereas forgiving responses may enhance it.”
Furthermore, Dr. Steven Standiford, chief of surgery at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America, claims that unforgiveness is classified as a disease in medical books. He maintains that the refusal to forgive people who have harmed you leads to sickness.

He explains:
“Harboring these negative emotions, these anger and hatred, create a state of chronic anxiety. Chronic anxiety very predictably produces excess adrenaline and cortisol, which deplete the production of natural killer cells, which is your body’s foot soldier in the fight against cancer.”
Therefore, you must learn how to let the painful memories go, and try to understand that we are all human beings who make mistakes during life. Try to leave the negative emotions in the past and move on in order to enjoy every day in health and well-being.
