Some say, in an attempt to restore “balance” in the world, a New World Order was formed. Formed by America and Europe’s most elite (both in terms of wealth and power) with historical roots that date back centuries. This power-house formed by 13 families is known to be controlling practically everything around the globe. From political parties around the world, courthouses, educational institutions, natural resources, foreign policies, food, national economies, media houses, even terrorist organisations. They are the ones who decide where and when the next terror attack is going to happen, they decide when the markets will fall, they decide when a new government needs to take over, they decide what happens at the UN, they decide practically everything.
“The US and UK governments’ relentless backing for the global spread of genetically modified seeds was in fact the implementation of a decades long policy of the Rockefeller Foundation since the 1930’s, when it funded Nazi eugenics research — i.e. mass-scale population reduction, and control of darker-skinned races by an Anglo-Saxon white elite. As some of these circles saw it, war as a means of population reduction was costly and not that efficient.” – F. William Engdahl in his book “Seeds of Destuction”
What we didn’t know
Modern day democracy, like the way we know it, is not more than 250 years old. The world, as we know it, has always been ruled by the ones with absolute power, those who knew how to control wealth and resources. By those who knew how to control their people, by hook or by crook. The New World Order aims to work on a similar philosophy of absolute power and control, but on a global scale. The plan is to secretly have a single body governing the planet with the elite sitting right on top of the food chain, leaving the rest of the world to fight it out for that 1% of the global economy. Scarier is the fact that they apparently also want to keep control of the global population. They want the global population to be just under a billion, leaving the Earth’s resources for their own exclusive use. And to keep the population in check, they are willing to go to any extent, even plan scientifically engineered global population control methods like viruses, vaccines and genetically modified food. It is also said that these families even hold the cure for terminal diseases like cancer and AIDS, but don’t want to release it to the public because then there’ll be a cure. And a cure is not good for the pharma business.
“The master planners devised the strategy of a merger – a Great Merger – among nations.

Now for those famous bloodlines who control everything. These guys are so rich and powerful, they make Ambani and Gates look like peasants. Their ideologies and connections aren’t known to the public. Which is why we don’t know much about them. Don’t question yourself if you don’t recognise them – that was their plan throughout.

Marty T , a well-known Youtuber who ’ s been living off the grid for almost 16 years has demonstrated how he survives when he ’ s away from civilization .
One of the ways he does that is by generating his own electricity at no cost !

In the video , which lasts just sixteen-minutes , Marty shows how he rewired the washing machine motor to generate electricity that is plenty for him to live @ @ @ @ @ @ @ via a water-driven Pelton Wheel ( Hydro Turbine ) , which , according to Marty , makes more than enough power to heat his water supply for things like coffee , tea , and showers , as well as running all the appliances in his energy-efficient house as well as most of the tools in his shed .

Marty T, a well-known Youtuber who’s been living off the grid for almost 16 years has demonstrated how he survives when he’s away from civilization. One of the ways he does that is by generating his own electricity at no cost! While it may sound odd, he does it all using nothing but an old washing machine he found at the local dump.
Free Electricity
In the video, which lasts just sixteen-minutes, Marty shows how he rewired the washing machine motor to generate electricity that is plenty for him to live off of. The generator is rotated via a water-driven Pelton Wheel (Hydro Turbine), which, according to Marty, makes more than enough power to heat his water supply for things like coffee, tea, and showers, as well as running all the appliances in his energy-efficient house as well as most of the tools in his shed.
While there are no issues with it most of the time, there is apparently the occasional mishap, nothing which can’t be solved by going down to the stream though, which is, by his words, a small price to pay to avoid paying a power bill. Some of the best projects and creations are completed using old, discarded items, things that some consider being trash.
Marty definitely wins the award for being the most creative with an old washing machine! Not only did he save it from ending up in landfill, like most household appliances, but he also put it to good use and not he generates his own electricity, completely free of charge, and has done for the last 16 years! In this consumer world where we buy things and throw them out equally as quickly, we could all learn a thing or two from Marty about living more cheaply and re-using items. Apart from saving ourselves money, it would also help save the environment, which is a wonderful thing to be able to do.


worldtruthtv--2020-05-20--For The First Time In Living Memory Mount Everest Was Visible From Kathmandu

Mount Everest was visible from Kathmandu last week , something which is believed to never have happened before .
Viewing the world ’ s highest peak from Kathmandu , which is over 120 miles away , would not have been possible just two months ago .
However , the global lockdown , which was initiated in an attempt to prevent further spread of the coronavirus , has led to fewer vehicles being on the roads , and industry grounding to a halt .
This has consequently resulted in significantly less air pollution and increased clean air above Nepal .
So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s now possible to see the tip of Mount Everest from there .
Out of all the pollutants , vehicular emissions are by far the biggest source of air pollution in Kathmandu Valley , and one study calculated it accounts for as much as 70 % of all particulate matter at street level .
While this has been massively reduced in recent times , the main concern is that once lockdown measures are removed , people will simply go back to their normal way of life and may even avoid public transport more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Meaning more people using their own personal vehicles and this once-in-a-lifetime sight will once again be shrouded in smog .
Earth ’ s highest mountain above sea level is Mount Everest .
Located in the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas , the China–Nepal border runs across its summit point .
The current official elevation of 8,848 m ( 29,029 ft ) , which is recognized by both China and Nepal , was established by a 1955 Indian survey and subsequently confirmed by a Chinese survey in 1975 .
Despite its massive height @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being visible from Nepal , until now !

While this has been massively reduced in recent times, the main concern is that once lockdown measures are removed, people will simply go back to their normal way of life and may even avoid public transport more than pre-pandemic to avoid social contact. Meaning more people using their own personal vehicles and this once-in-a-lifetime sight will once again be shrouded in smog.

Earth’s highest mountain above sea level is Mount Everest. Located in the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas, the China–Nepal border runs across its summit point. The current official elevation of 8,848 m (29,029 ft), which is recognized by both China and Nepal, was established by a 1955 Indian survey and subsequently confirmed by a Chinese survey in 1975. Despite its massive height the smog usually prevents the summit from being visible from Nepal, until now!

People , who are introverted , meaning they prefer their own company to that of others , are generally given the label of being anti-social .

Study Revealed Fear of Living Single Life Influences Choices
DePaulo talks about a study with the title of “Settling for Less out of Fear of Being Single.” The study was undertaken by Stephanie Spielmann and a team from the University of Toronto. The study looked into how the fear of living a single life could influence the choices of people and encourage people to settle for something less than what they deserved to avoid being alone. This was said to result in situations that were negative, including anxious attachment.
The study was undertaken with two study groups. The first of the groups included 301 people who had been recruited online, and the average age was 29. A second group was made up of 147 undergraduates from Canada who had an average age of 19. Out of the 448 people who took part in the study, 35 were married, 236 single and 177 were dating someone when the study took place. Seven studies were undertaken, and the team came to the conclusion that there was a fear of being single and it was a meaningful predictor as to if someone would be happy to settle for something less in a relationship.

COVID-19 has fundamentally changed life as we know it, and it’s more than likely that our future will be a dystopian one given how various governments have already responded to this viral outbreak.
The skeptics among us are fearful that this whole pandemic is overblown and being exploited as a smokescreen for stealing our freedoms, and while their attitude towards this disease is questionable (and quite possibly dangerous), their suspicion about a government takeover of society is warranted.
Never before have governments had so much power over the people.
The problem, however, is that these newly assumed powers probably won’t be voluntarily surrendered after this epidemic ends, which is why many people are so concerned. They’re convinced that we’ve suddenly entered a period of global dictatorship, and it’s difficult to argue with them.
So much else is also changing as well, and it’s hard to keep up with the “COVID World Order” [a.k.a. COVID-1984] that’s been thrust upon us, but what follows is an attempt to briefly describe everything that’s already taken place and predict what will probably follow:
1. De-Facto Martial Law…
There’s no other way to describe both the “recommended” and mandatory quarantines that many in the world are experiencing than to call them what they are, a state of de-facto martial law which isn’t being formally declared in order to not provoke any more panic than there already is.
2. …Is The “New Normal”
Now that de-facto martial law of a seemingly indefinite period has been accepted by the people (whether willingly or begrudgingly), it’ll probably become the “new normal” and be implemented countless times in the future, be it as an “overabundance of caution” in the event of another outbreak or under any other pretext.
3. Social Media Censorship Will Intensify
“Big Brother” is already here, but he’s going to become a bigger bully than ever before by intensifying his censorship of people’s social media posts on the basis that they’re “socially irresponsible” (e.g. questioning the seriousness of this disease), after which the “politically incorrect” net will widen to encompass other topics too.
4. Travel Will Never Be The Same Again
Domestic and international travel will never be the same again, with internal restrictions on movement likely becoming commonplace and most foreign guests being required to self-quarantine for a period of time except in special circumstances, thus all but killing the global tourism industry.
5. Border Control Will Become More Robust
Gone are the days of so-called “open borders” where anyone can freely move between jurisdictions at will (whether legally or otherwise), with more stringent controls being put into place to [allegedly] protect the local population from outsiders (including their own compatriots from elsewhere in the country).
6. Mandatory Vaccines Are Coming
For whatever one thinks about vaccines, there’s probably no way to stop them from becoming mandatory after the COVID-19 pandemic, with it being predicted that people will have to prove that they’ve been vaccinated in order to do anything at all such as study, work, travel, and receive government benefits.
7. Remote Learning & Working Will Increase
With so many people stuck at home and unable to leave except to purchase essential goods in most cases, it’s predictable that remote learning and working (the latter which will of course be for those whose jobs allow them to do so) will pick up in the coming future as society gets used to this way of doing things.
8. 5G Is Inevitable
The massive surge of online traffic from folks who are learning, working, or simply entertaining themselves online will necessitate the rapid roll-out of 5G technology despite what some people suspect are its serious health concerns.
9. Society Depends On Just A Few Jobs To Function
The “new normal” of de-facto martial law has made many people realize that society really just depends on a few jobs in order to continue functioning at the bare minimum, with these being techies, grocery store and pharmacy employees, bank clerks, healthcare professionals, food service workers, farmers, and truckers.
10. Nationalization Might Be Imminent
For better or for worse, governments across the world might go on a nationalization spree in order to take control of what they regard as “essential industries” (though whether some of them truly are or not is another story), which could lead to the informal imposition of either socialist or fascist economic models.
11. “Universal Basic Income”
Given the scale and scope of the global economic collapse that was catalyzed by the response to COVID-19, it’s foreseeable that governments will unveil what’s been described as a “universal basic income” in order to ensure that their people can continue to at least purchase basic goods and services.
12. Mandatory Medical Training In Exchange For Government Benefits
Medical training is arguably more important than military service nowadays, so the state will probably make it mandatory in schools from here on out and for anyone who wants to receive government benefits, thereby enabling the government to draft them in the future whenever there’s a dearth of healthcare professionals.
13. Say Goodbye To Cash
The cashless society is coming, whether justified by the (real, false, or exaggerated) fear that lethal viruses can be spread by paper currency or as the government’s preferred method of dispersing its “universal basic income”, meaning that the authorities can cut folks off from their funds at any time that they want to.

worldtruthtv--2020-05-19--Warning: Cell Phone Use At Night Causes Blindness

Doctors were puzzled when two women , aged 22 and 44 , reported recurring episodes of blindness lasting up to 15 minutes .
After countless MRIs , heart scans and other medical tests proved inconclusive , doctors began digging into the patients ’ history .
What they found blew the case wide open , so to speak .
The doctors were able to link their temporary blindness to cell phone use before bed .
One of the women refused to stop checking her phone before bed even after the connection was made .
An article in the New England Journal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how nighttime cell phone use causes the condition .
Both women checked their phones while lying on their side – as many people do .
This position leads to one eye being focused on the screen while the other is fully or partially blocked by the pillow .
Thus , one eye adapts to the light from the phone while the other adjusts to the dark .
When the cell phone is switched off , the brain gets confused and wonders why one eye is adjusted for “ daytime ” while the other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ light emitted from cell phones is a lot more damaging than many people realize .
This exposure is a relatively new phenomenon .
It ’ s only in the past 20 years or so that LED screens have become popular in the home .
Originally , many people – even eye doctors – didn ’ t see much of an issue .
But now the severity of the damage caused by long nighttime exposure to blue light is becoming clear as patients are presenting with alarming rates of eye deterioration .
Furthermore , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sleep as well .
One eye doctor says that some of his 35-year-old patients have eye lenses so cloudy due to nighttime blue light exposure that they resemble those of 75-year-olds .
To make matters worse , the potential damage goes far beyond the eyes .
Health experts at Harvard confirm the link between blue light and several types of cancer , diabetes , heart disease and obesity .
That ’ s a high price to pay to play Angry Birds before sleep , don ’ t you think ?
It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such far-reaching health effects , but doctors are learning more and more every day .

An article in the New England Journal of Medicine sheds some light on exactly how nighttime cell phone use causes the condition.
Both women checked their phones while lying on their side – as many people do. This position leads to one eye being focused on the screen while the other is fully or partially blocked by the pillow.
Thus, one eye adapts to the light from the phone while the other adjusts to the dark. When the cell phone is switched off, the brain gets confused and wonders why one eye is adjusted for “daytime” while the other is adjusted for night.
It’s a recipe for temporary blindness – and eventually, permanent eye damage.
Surprised? Don’t be.
The blue light emitted from cell phones is a lot more damaging than many people realize.
This exposure is a relatively new phenomenon. It’s only in the past 20 years or so that LED screens have become popular in the home.
Originally, many people – even eye doctors – didn’t see much of an issue. But now the severity of the damage caused by long nighttime exposure to blue light is becoming clear as patients are presenting with alarming rates of eye deterioration. Furthermore, electronic devices have a negative effect on sleep as well.

It’s not clear exactly why blue light has such far-reaching health effects, but doctors are learning more and more every day.

Around 2,500 years ago, the ancient Maya worshiped a god that had the head of a bat but the body of a person. It had pointy ears and was referred to the Maya as Camazots. So who has this deity become in modern times? You guessed it; Batman!
Maya mythology Camazotz was a bat god.
The Original Batman
Camazots is a god which was worshiped in ancient Mexico by the Maya. The Hispanic deity symbolized night, death, and sacrifice, but there’s not an awful lot of information about it. In fact, no one really knew about it until it was brought back to the forefront of everyone’s minds for the 75th anniversary of Batman.
Camazotz is often depicted as a flying bat and ruled upon Xibalba, the Mayan hell.
Reimagining
Back in 2014, Warner Brothers gathered dozens of artists in an attempt to reinterpret the looks of Batman for the 75th anniversary. The results varied but one particular piece stood out the most. Made by Christian Pacheco, owner of a design agency in Yucatan. the rendition reminded everyone that DC Comics was not the first to actually have their very own Batman. The design gave a heads up to everyone that the origins can be traced back to the ancient Maya, thousands of years ago.

It’s quite an interesting idea but it’s clear that past figures are responsible for so many of our modern ones. Who knows what other figures might have been inspired by previous ideas. Given the little information that’s available on Camazots, it’s unlikely we’ll ever know for sure.

worldtruthtv--2020-05-21--A Single Opossum Can Kill 5,000 Ticks In One Season, Which Spread Lyme Disease

Many people think that opossums are cute little animals , but they also have a reputation as pests .
Recent research has shown that because they groom themselves and eat all the ticks they find on their body , they are effective in reducing the overall numbers of ticks , which have been on the rise in recent years and they may , therefore , be stopping the spread of Lyme Disease to humans .
A recent study published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society .

The study was commenced to learn the part that various animals play in the spread of ticks and their associated contagious diseases .
The tests were conducted on six species ; white-footed mice , chipmunks , squirrels , opossums , veeries , and catbirds .
The study postulated that although the white-footed mice were the chief receptacle of the Lyme bacteria , they were the natural prey of foxes who themselves are home to numerous ticks , but don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The opossums on the other hand , whilst also home to numerous ticks , meticulously groom themselves , catching and eating over 90 % of the ticks on their bodies .
Extrapolating their findings , based on the examination of the animal ’ s feces , the scientists estimate that in a season , each opossum can kill approximately 5,000 ticks .
Overall , therefore , opossums were natural , net eradicators of ticks and could potentially reduce the spread of Lyme disease .
Opossums are marsupials that are endemic to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ different species of opossums , the only species found in the United States and Canada is the Virginia Opossum , where they are more commonly referred to as “ possums ” .
They are the only marsupial found north of Mexico in North America .

They have voracious appetites and eat almost anything they come across .
Their main diet is grubs , insects and even small rodents , like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rarely showing signs of aggression and if attacked generally lie motionless , pretending to be dead , hence the etymology of the phrase , “ playing possum ” .
