All is well, Americans. According to President Donald Trump, the Wuhan coronavirus, or Covid-19, will die out by April because of warmer spring weather, so there's nothing to worry about.
Most Americans seem to be accepting of this nothing to see here, folks messaging from the White House, especially since the United States hasn't seen nearly the level of carnage taking place over in China. But wealthy elitists aren't taking any chances, which is why they're choosing to fly private rather than commercial.
Reports indicate that the world's most financially well-to-do are avoiding commercial airlines like the plague, and instead choosing charter flights that they believe are a safer option. Rather than potentially encounter an infected traveler returning from China, the global top dogs are steering clear of the "herds" and flying in luxury.
One such elitist is presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren, who was spotted stepping off of a private jet during a campaign stop in Iowa. Reports indicate that Warren was trying to hide behind her staffers for fear of being spotted, and thus outed, as a hypocrite.
"Global Warming lectures for us, private jet rides for her – THAT's the Elizabeth Warren way!" tweeted Breitbart News alongside a link to an article containing pictures of Warren getting off of her private jet.
According to Ascend by Cirium, a consultant group based out of the United Kingdom, the number of flights scheduled to operate to, from, and within China plummeted 34 percent from January 23 to February 11. At the same time, there's been a "significant increase" in the number "of private flight charter requests," according to Jackie Wu, president of the Hong Kong-based JetSolution Aviation Group.
While Warren is among those traveling privately here in the U.S., most of the requests for private charter are coming out of Hong Kong and China, and going to places like Auckland, New Zealand; Taipei, Taiwan; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Phnom Penh, Cambodia; and cities throughout Singapore.
Listen below to The Health Ranger Report as Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, talks about how the coronavirus pandemic achieves all the top goals of the globalists, including global depopulation:
After China changed how it counts coronavirus infections, the numbers skyrocketed
To make matters worse, communist China changed the way it counts coronavirus infections, which has caused a spike in the number of new cases. This is not only increasing demand for more private flights, but also fueling speculation that the Chinese regime has been lying all along about the severity of the outbreak.
In just one day after the counting method was changed, the Hubei province of China where Wuhan is located reported its biggest one-day infection tally, with 14,840 new cases and 242 deaths. This increase raised the overall death toll to nearly 1,500, and the overall infection rate to 60,000-plus.
Bernie Sanders is another private jet-using hypocrite like Warren who rattles on and on about climate change while living in the lap of luxury. Sanders, as you may recall from recent news, even had the gall to call out President Trump for not addressing global warming during his State of the Union address.

( Natural News ) Many scientific investigations have been conducted to figure out if there is a connection between the tide and earthquakes .
For decades , scientists have failed to understand exactly why there is an uptick in earthquake tremors during low tide .

Scientists uncover link between low tide and earthquakes
Many scientific investigations have been conducted to figure out if there is a connection between the tide and earthquakes. For decades, scientists have failed to understand exactly why there is an uptick in earthquake tremors during low tide. A new study, published in the journal Nature Communications, has finally figured out the mysterious link between the two
In this study, led by researchers from the Earth Institute of Columbia University, the scientists believe that they have uncovered the mechanisms that explain this phenomenon.
"Everyone was sort of stumped," explained Christopher Scholz, seismologist at Columbia's Earth Observatory. "Because according to conventional theory, those earthquakes should occur at high tides." However, Scholz and his team found that the answer to the mystery comes down to the magma lurking beneath the mid-ocean ridges.
Scholz explained that the magma chambers "breathe, expand and contract" along with the tides. This is what made the faults move during low tide. He further explained that they found the correlation with low tide surprising because of the way mid-ocean faults move.
Scholz described the mid-ocean faults as two pieces of the Earth. During movement, one block, the upper block, slides downward, causing friction and triggering an earthquake. Because of this, scientists believed that tremors should occur during high tide, when there is more water sitting on top of the fault. Theoretically, this would have pushed one block down and caused earthquakes. However, the decades' worth of evidence have shown that that's not what happens and instead, the lower block is pulled upward during low tide because of forces that are trying to push it up.

Researchers look at the benefits of probiotic supplementation in elderly
Immune function declines with age, and this decline is said to be largely influenced by the composition of a person's gut microbiota. The gut microbiota protects the digestive system from external pathogens by modulating immune responses. However, aging reduces the diversity of the gut microbiota, and this leads to unfavorable conditions, such as frailty, increased susceptibility to infections, inflammatory diseases and increased morbidity. Fortunately, researchers have found a way to slow or reverse age-related changes in immune function.
In a recent study published in the journal Nutrition Research, researchers from Finland and the US looked at the effects of probiotic supplementation on the cellular innate activity of healthy older adults. They found that taking probiotic supplements, even for a short time, improves immune cell function, specifically the activity of polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells and natural killer (NK) cells. These cells are involved in the body's immune response to infections.
Probiotics can help raise the immunity of older adults
According to studies, the most crucial age-related changes that occur within the innate immune system involve two types of immune cells, the PMN cells and the NK cells. PMN cells are mature white blood cells whose functions are important during infections and allergic reactions. PMN cells have a variety of antimicrobial mechanisms that are activated by bacterial products and inflammatory signaling molecules. NK cells, on the other hand, are critical components of the innate immune system. These cells are involved in the body's response to tumors and viral infections.
Although the amount of NK cells increases with age, many of their abilities decline, resulting in a decrease in their function. PMN cells also suffer losses because of age and exhibit decreases in phagocytic activity -- the ability to devour foreign particles -- as well as mobility. Because of the consequences of these changes, scientists believe that restoring function to PMN and NK cells is a promising strategy to combat age-related immune function decline.
The researchers hypothesized that probiotic supplementation could enhance immune function in older adults. To test this hypothesis, they conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled trials that focused on PMN cell phagocytic capacity or NK cell tumoricidal activity following short-term probiotic supplementation in the elderly.
The researchers found 17 prospective controlled studies that involved a total of 733 participants. The duration of probiotic supplementation in the studies ranged from three to 12 weeks. The researchers reported that probiotic supplementation increased PMN phagocytic capacity and NK tumoricidal activity. They cited short-term supplementation duration as one of the limitations of their study.
The researchers concluded that short-term probiotic supplementation enhances cellular immune function in healthy older adults. (Related: Prebiotics improve digestion and reduce risk of cancer.)
The health benefits of probiotics
Probiotics are live microorganisms that can be found in fermented foods, such as yogurt, sauerkraut and tempeh. These beneficial microbes not only help balance the composition of the gut microbiota, they also promote digestive health and improve immune function. Here are other health benefits associated with probiotics consumption. (h/t to Healthline.com)
Helps prevent and treat diarrhea
Helps improve some mental health conditions (e.g., anxiety, depression, autism)
Helps keep the heart healthy
Reduces the severity of certain allergies and eczema
Helps relieve the symptoms of certain digestive disorders
Helps boost the immune system
Helps with weight loss by reducing belly fat
The most common sources of probiotics are fermented dairy products and vegetables. But if these foods aren't to your liking, you can opt for probiotic supplements. Just make sure they are of high quality and come from trusted sources. Check the label for proper dosage or consult your health care provider to get the most out of your supplement.

naturalnews--2020-02-17--Coronavirus breaking news: Infected passengers flew Delta and Hawaiian Airlines out of Honolulu

• 99 more passengers confirmed infected on the Diamond Princess , bringing the total to 454 , or 26 % of those tested so far .
• Delta Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines now confirm a couple later diagnosed with coronavirus flew on their airplanes , with flights arriving at / originating from Honolulu .
• Hundreds of passengers who shared a two-week cruise on board another cruise ship have already returned to their home countries , and now we find that an American woman on the ship has tested positive for coronavirus .
Another 99 people have been confirmed with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Diamond Princess cruise ship docked near Japan , bringing the total number of infections to 454 .
So far , just 1,723 people on the ship have been testing , meaning the infection rate is 26 % among those tested .
What ’ s notable about this is that 11 days ago , we had calculated an infection rate of 22 % based on 61 confirmed cases out of 273 tested , and in response we were of course widely mocked and accused of “ fear mongering ” for projecting that , “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infected across the ship .
Now , 11 days later , we are staring at 454 infected people with about half the passengers tested so far .
Suddenly the projection of “ over 800 people ” doesn ’ t seem very far-fetched , does it ?
Then again , everything the mainstream media is reporting today about the coronavirus was previously reported by the independent media 1-2 weeks ago .
In fact , as Paul Joseph Watson points out in this tweet , the UK Daily Mail is reporting today exactly the same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but got permanently banned by Twitter for daring to publish : In other words , those of us who report the real news more quickly than the establishment media are labeled “ fake news ” for being faster and more accurate .

Today , Delta Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines have both confirmed that a coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ potentially spreading the virus to hundreds of other passengers .
A husband and wife from Japan departed from Oahu later tested positive for the virus , KHON2 reported .
Delta told the station that Flight 611 left from Honolulu to Nagoya on Feb. 6 .
Delta said it is working in coordination with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) and Japanese authorities , according to the news outlet .
The airline also is attempting to contact any passengers who might have flown on the same flight .
Just as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ looks like the island of Oahu — or at least the Honolulu airport itself — may be harboring coronavirus infections which might be spreading in stealth mode ( incubation period ) among passengers and workers .
This particular flight took place on Feb. 6th , which means other infected people could still be in a symptomless incubation period .
Three days earlier , the same couple also flew on Hawaiian Airlines flight HA265 from Kahului to Honolulu .
It ’ s not yet known on exactly which day this couple contracted the virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so it ’ s feasible they might have been infected by some other passenger on the flight from Honolulu to Japan .

That ’ s the only way you can know they aren ’ t infected .
( And technically , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not just 14 . )

Coronavirus breaking news: Infected passengers flew Delta and Hawaiian Airlines out of Honolulu
Article summary:
99 more passengers confirmed infected on the Diamond Princess, bringing the total to 454, or 26% of those tested so far.
Delta Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines now confirm a couple later diagnosed with coronavirus flew on their airplanes, with flights arriving at / originating from Honolulu.
Hundreds of passengers who shared a two-week cruise on board another cruise ship have already returned to their home countries, and now we find that an American woman on the ship has tested positive for coronavirus.
Another 99 people have been confirmed with the covid-19 coronavirus on board the ill-fated Diamond Princess cruise ship docked near Japan, bringing the total number of infections to 454. So far, just 1,723 people on the ship have been testing, meaning the infection rate is 26% among those tested.
What's notable about this is that 11 days ago, we had calculated an infection rate of 22% based on 61 confirmed cases out of 273 tested, and in response we were of course widely mocked and accused of "fear mongering" for projecting that, "over 800 people" would eventually be infected across the ship.
Now, 11 days later, we are staring at 454 infected people with about half the passengers tested so far. Suddenly the projection of "over 800 people" doesn't seem very far-fetched, does it?
Then again, everything the mainstream media is reporting today about the coronavirus was previously reported by the independent media 1-2 weeks ago.
In fact, as Paul Joseph Watson points out in this tweet, the UK Daily Mail is reporting today exactly the same thing that Zero Hedge reported last week but got permanently banned by Twitter for daring to publish:
https://twitter.com/PrisonPlanet/status/1229124552367771648
In other words, those of us who report the real news more quickly than the establishment media are labeled "fake news" for being faster and more accurate.
It's worth noting that we are still permanently banned from Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Google, Vimeo, Pinterest and every other platform you can imagine, merely for telling the truth more accurately and more quickly than the mainstream media propagandists and their Big Tech Orwellian censors.
But getting back to the Diamond Princess, it now looks like the total number of eventual infections will almost certainly exceed 800, and it turns out this cruise ship isn't the only one that harbored the coronavirus (see below).
Notice how "Hawaii" keeps popping up again and again?
Our recent prediction that Hawaii would be the epicenter of the first major outbreak hub in the United States of America continues to gain more support. Today, Delta Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines have both confirmed that a coronavirus infected couple flew on their planes, potentially spreading the virus to hundreds of other passengers.
As The Epoch Times reports:
A husband and wife from Japan departed from Oahu later tested positive for the virus, KHON2 reported. Delta told the station that Flight 611 left from Honolulu to Nagoya on Feb. 6.
Delta said it is working in coordination with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Japanese authorities, according to the news outlet. The airline also is attempting to contact any passengers who might have flown on the same flight.
Just as we've been warning, it looks like the island of Oahu -- or at least the Honolulu airport itself -- may be harboring coronavirus infections which might be spreading in stealth mode (incubation period) among passengers and workers.
This particular flight took place on Feb. 6th, which means other infected people could still be in a symptomless incubation period.
Three days earlier, the same couple also flew on Hawaiian Airlines flight HA265 from Kahului to Honolulu.
It's not yet known on exactly which day this couple contracted the virus or who spread it to them, so it's feasible they might have been infected by some other passenger on the flight from Honolulu to Japan. It's also possible there may be a stealth outbreak taking place right now in the Honolulu airport that simply hasn't been diagnosed or publicly admitted yet. The husband "started to exhibit mild, cold-like symptoms without a fever" on Feb. 3rd, says TET.
Hawaii depends on tourism for the vast majority of its economic activity, and any official admission that the coronavirus is spreading anywhere in Hawaii will almost instantly collapse tourism traffic there.
Health officials in Japan are desperately trying to track down everyone who shared the flight with that couple.
We wish them luck.
Hundreds of passengers walk off cruise ship docked at Cambodia after passenger confirmed with coronavirus infection
If you thought the mad scramble to contain the virus couldn't get any more fubar, hundreds of passengers just walked off a Westerdam cruise ship docked at Cambodia after a female passenger was confirmed to be carrying the coronavirus there.
Hundreds of those passengers have already flown home, after first traveling through Malaysia and Thailand, and the company that owns the cruise ship is frantically trying to alert local health departments in all the various countries that potentially cross-infected people may have just brought the virus to their home countries.
Imagine the joy of working for the health department of, say, Germany, and opening up your first email of the day, "Dear German Ministry of Health: We just allowed a possibly infected passenger to walk off a ship in Cambodia and fly back home to Germany, and we have no idea idea where they are now, but good luck!"
The ship reportedly carried 1,455 passengers and 802 crew members. The American woman who tested positive for the virus had been on the ship for over two weeks after originally departing from Hong Kong.
As we've already learned from the Diamond Princess saga, cruise ships are not level-4 biohazard quarantine facilities, and passengers end up sharing all the same air, infecting each other during the so-called "quarantine" which is actually a non-quarantine quarantine. As I wrote in an important article on this published yesterday:
Apparently, no government health authorities have yet realized that a quarantine which allows shared air among the quarantine participants is no quarantine at all because cross-infections can be initiated during any day of the 14-day quarantine. A real 14-day quarantine must secure total isolation for all participants so that each individual is isolated from all others for the entire duration of the quarantine. That’s the only way you can know they aren’t infected. (And technically, it needs to be 24 days, not just 14.)
A 14-day cruise with an infected carrier gives the virus every opportunity to cross-infect hundreds or even thousands of passengers because they all share the same air and public spaces.
Currently, over half the non-China infections around the entire world are attributed to a single cruise ship.
Cruise ships and airplanes today, subways and Uber vehicles tomorrow
These reports underscore how quickly the coronavirus can spread through international travel and shared transportation vessels, given how the virus can be transmitted through the air and survive on surfaces for up to 9 days.
What we're seeing on cruise ships and airplanes right now is, of course, going to explode globally, since government health authorities are largely unable to contain this outbreak. The next wave of the outbreak will spread through subway cars, commuter trains, buses and Uber vehicles. And guess where those are popular forms of transportation? In liberal cities.
As we mentioned yesterday, high-density cities are the most likely outbreak hubs, and those cities largely depend on public transportation rather than private vehicles. This means those cities have a natural structure that accelerates the spread of pandemics such as the coronavirus.
All it's going to take is a single passenger on a subway in NYC, or Toronto, or BART in the Bay Area. Just one passenger will infect hundreds, and then those hundreds will infect tens of thousands. Then it's completely beyond control.
That process may in fact already be under way in the Honolulu airport, it seems likely. It raises the question: Where else is this virus spreading in stealth mode, totally undetected by health authorities until full-blown symptoms appear weeks later?
We believe the CDC is already aware of such outbreaks taking place in Hawaii and elsewhere and is preparing to tell America that the coronavirus cannot be contained.
Or perhaps they might go the China route and just pretend that infected people aren't infected. Yeah, that's a genius idea...

naturalnews--2020-02-17--White House suddenly realizes America buys too many pharmaceuticals from China

( Natural News ) In a recent announcement , White House trade advisor Peter Navarro admitted that the United States relies too heavily on communist China to produce its pharmaceutical drugs , and that that supply could dwindle due to the continued spread of novel coronavirus .
With most pharmaceuticals and vitamins either made in China or made from ingredients obtained from China , the threat of a major supply disruption is perhaps more real than ever , especially as new cases of Wuhan coronavirus begin to increase exponentially outside of China ’ s borders .
“ This is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been latent for many years but is critical to U.S. economic and national security , ” Navarro told the media , warning that drugs , vitamins and other dietary supplements , and medical equipment sold here in America often come directly from Chinese sources .
“ If we have learned anything from the coronavirus and swine flu H1N1 epidemic of 2009 , it is that we can not necessarily depend on other countries , even close allies , to supply us with needed items , from face masks to vaccines , ” he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shut down their factories indefinitely due to coronavirus Some will probably ask , but wouldn ’ t there already be supply disruptions from coronavirus if this was really an issue ?
And the answer is no , the reason being that by the time the virus really started to become a problem , China was already in the throes of its multi-week Lunar Near Year celebrations .
These celebrations only just days ago came to a close , and many factories there that had planned to reopen as they normally would have done @ @ @ @ @ @ @ including drug manufacturers that supply pharmaceuticals to the U.S. and other markets .
China itself is already feeling the heat from a decreased availability of medical supplies .
And once this trickles down to the U.S. and other countries , we , too , will more than likely start to see empty store shelves .
“ China is the world ’ s largest producer of ingredients used to make drugs , ” reports The Epoch Times .
“ The United States is heavily dependent on either drugs that are sourced from China , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ China.
” Navarro ’ s solution is to figure out ways to “ get our pharmaceutical production back onshore and cheap.
” Another solution is to end all prohibition on natural medicines that Americans can grow themselves , which would cut communist China completely out of the picture while boosting our own economy as well as public health .

White House suddenly realizes America buys too many pharmaceuticals from China
In a recent announcement , White House trade advisor Peter Navarro admitted that the United States relies too heavily on communist China to produce its pharmaceutical drugs, and that that supply could dwindle due to the continued spread of novel coronavirus.
With most pharmaceuticals and vitamins either made in China or made from ingredients obtained from China, the threat of a major supply disruption is perhaps more real than ever, especially as new cases of Wuhan coronavirus begin to increase exponentially outside of China's borders.
"This is a wake-up call for an issue that has been latent for many years but is critical to U.S. economic and national security," Navarro told the media, warning that drugs, vitamins and other dietary supplements, and medical equipment sold here in America often come directly from Chinese sources.
"If we have learned anything from the coronavirus and swine flu H1N1 epidemic of 2009, it is that we cannot necessarily depend on other countries, even close allies, to supply us with needed items, from face masks to vaccines," he added.
Many Chinese pharmaceutical suppliers have shut down their factories indefinitely due to coronavirus
Some will probably ask, but wouldn't there already be supply disruptions from coronavirus if this was really an issue? And the answer is no, the reason being that by the time the virus really started to become a problem, China was already in the throes of its multi-week Lunar Near Year celebrations.
These celebrations only just days ago came to a close, and many factories there that had planned to reopen as they normally would have done are having to stay closed indefinitely, including drug manufacturers that supply pharmaceuticals to the U.S. and other markets.
China itself is already feeling the heat from a decreased availability of medical supplies. And once this trickles down to the U.S. and other countries, we, too, will more than likely start to see empty store shelves.

Another solution is to end all prohibition on natural medicines that Americans can grow themselves, which would cut communist China completely out of the picture while boosting our own economy as well as public health.

The FDA barely even inspects any of the pharmaceuticals and vitamins coming here from China
Before novel coronavirus was even a problem, those paying attention were warning that the U.S. desperately needs to becoming medicine independent. Not only would this ensure that we always have our own steady supply of it, but it would also eliminate the risks of contamination.
As it turns out, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspects only a very small fraction of the pharmaceuticals and vitamins that are shipped to our country from China. And wouldn't you know it, but these minimal inspections more often than not turn up serious health violations.

naturalnews--2020-02-17--New study says novel coronavirus (CoVid-19) likely has R0 value as high as 6.6

( Natural News ) Researchers from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico have pre-published a new study in the journal medRxiv ( associated with the British Medical Journal ) that says the actual basic reproductive number , or R0 , for novel coronavirus is somewhere between 4.7 and 6.6 , as opposed to the 2.2 to 2.7 range being claimed by government health authorities .
While the study has not yet been peer-reviewed as of this writing , its abstract explains that “ extensive individual case reports ” on this constantly evolving global outbreak reveal that the R0 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charge ” are essentially flawed .
After evaluating these case reports and assessing them alongside estimated key epidemiology parameters , including the virus ’ incubation period – we now know the incubation period to be closer to a month as opposed to just two weeks – the team determined that each coronavirus-infected person can potentially infect nearly seven others with the disease .

Quarantines aren't enough to contain novel coronavirus, paper warns
The paper in question goes on to warn that the measures currently being implemented to address novel coronavirus, especially outside of the United States, aren't enough to contain it. Instead, it argues, much more needs to be done to prevent a potential global pandemic situation where the virus becomes completely out of control.
"We further show that quarantine and contact tracing of symptomatic individuals alone may not be effective and early, strong control measures are needed to stop transmission of the virus," it eerily states.
One can only surmise that this is implying medical martial law, which we're already seeing take place throughout communist China as entire cities with millions of people living in them are brought under mandatory lockdown and quarantine.
If things continue on as they are and the virus isn't contained, we'll likely see similar developments here in the U.S., sorry to say. That's because one way or another, novel coronavirus is going to impact our country, whether by mass infection or mass implosion of the economy, if not both.
Right this moment, countless Chinese factories that produce goods for the U.S. and other markets are sitting empty and closed due to quarantines and lockdowns. The Chinese people who normally work at them are being told they have to stay home for public safety, which means nothing is being manufactured.

Even if the number of coronavirus cases here on our soil never breaches 100, many of the Chinese products upon which most of us rely could still disappear virtually overnight if supplies eventually run dry.
This is a major consequence of globalism, of course, as the entire "machine" stands to collapse if even just one crucial component breaks down. In this case, that component is Chinese manufacturing, which accounts for most of the manufacturing that we currently rely on to live in the modern age.

naturalnews--2020-02-17--The same media liars who ran total fearmonger stories over the MEASLES nonsense are now claiming the

( Natural News ) Every time anybody in America gets the measles , the mass media go into their scripted frenzy , and the vaccine industry pushes out their propaganda via the CDC hub of lies and deception .
Get the measles vaccine or catch the measles and die from the measles – that ’ s the message .
Then CNN and WebMD plaster pictures of some worse-case scenario , probably from the 1970s or something , and we ’ re all supposed to panic and run out for the latest MMR II combo jab full of neurotoxins , including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with coronavirus infecting more than 70,000 and killing at least 1700 , we ’ re all told it ’ s contained and quarantined .
It ’ s all under control so just go back to work at the factory , pay those taxes and keep spending the rest of your money on beer , corn sugar , and pharmaceuticals .
That ’ s right : CoVid-19 isn ’ t like the measles yet , because there ’ s no vaccine to sell to the public , all laced with everything that makes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the “ killer cold.
” The “ killer cold ” virus pandemic is infecting us – should we all panic ?
That ’ s what it is , you know , this latest version of a mutated nightmare that was genetically modified and mutated in a lab and then stolen or sold to the highest bidder .
It ’ s a killer cold virus , like the flu , but the people who are dying off are those who already have decimated immune systems from eating toxins , drinking chemical water , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and taking flora-destroying prescription medications .
Is it sinking in yet ?
– the fact that measles is considered one of the deadliest diseases by the sick care industry of the USA , but coronavirus is nothing to worry about , question , or even talk about ?
The money-making machine ( a toxic immunization jab that doesn ’ t work ) hasn ’ t been “ patented ” and released to the public , so go right out and catch that killer cold .
Pay no attention to the 400 million @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s all under control over there , just like the nuclear radioactive wastewater at the Fukushima plant in Japan .
Nothing to see here .
Go back to work America .
They say the best way to end the measles scare is to just catch it , and be done with it forever , so what about CoVid-19 ?
So , who are the real conspiracy theorists now ?
The mass media and sick care industry never tell the truth about immunity .
That is one thing we know for sure .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at all and need 60 vaccines by age 6 to even survive .
They tell us all elderly people are weak , with brittle bones , compromised immune systems , and that dementia is natural aging and it ’ s inherited .
Can you say population control ?
We ’ re all supposed to be scared to death of the the measles , flu , Zika virus , human papillomavirus ( HPV ) , and even chicken pox .
There ’ s a vaccine for everything , and if you don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ denier , a vaccine skeptic , a threat to human life on Earth .
Now , don ’ t look , but coronavirus is set to infect 80 percent of the population of this planet , and guess who ’ s more likely to die from this killer cold ?
Oh , the hypocrisy of Western Medicine .
So , let ’ s say tomorrow there ’ s an outbreak of the Measles at Disney Land or Disney World or in a Disney Movie — should we all rush out and get a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s the vaccination itself that helps spread the disease via human shedders ?

The same media liars who ran total fearmonger stories over the MEASLES nonsense are now claiming the coronavirus pandemic is nothing, and that WE are fearmongers
Every time anybody in America gets the measles, the mass media go into their scripted frenzy, and the vaccine industry pushes out their propaganda via the CDC hub of lies and deception. Get the measles vaccine or catch the measles and die from the measles – that’s the message. Then CNN and WebMD plaster pictures of some worse-case scenario, probably from the 1970s or something, and we’re all supposed to panic and run out for the latest MMR II combo jab full of neurotoxins , including MSG and human abortion cells
Now, with coronavirus infecting more than 70,000 and killing at least 1700, we’re all told it’s contained and quarantined. It’s all under control so just go back to work at the factory, pay those taxes and keep spending the rest of your money on beer, corn sugar, and pharmaceuticals. That’s right: CoVid-19 isn’t like the measles yet, because there’s no vaccine to sell to the public, all laced with everything that makes you sick, dumb and more susceptible to the “killer cold.”
The “killer cold” virus pandemic is infecting us – should we all panic?
That’s what it is, you know, this latest version of a mutated nightmare that was genetically modified and mutated in a lab and then stolen or sold to the highest bidder. It’s a killer cold virus, like the flu, but the people who are dying off are those who already have decimated immune systems from eating toxins, drinking chemical water, breathing pollution, getting injected with vaccines, and taking flora-destroying prescription medications. Is it sinking in yet? - the fact that measles is considered one of the deadliest diseases by the sick care industry of the USA, but coronavirus is nothing to worry about, question, or even talk about?
The money-making machine (a toxic immunization jab that doesn’t work) hasn’t been “patented” and released to the public, so go right out and catch that killer cold. Pay no attention to the 400 million people quarantined in China. It’s all under control over there, just like the nuclear radioactive wastewater at the Fukushima plant in Japan. Nothing to see here. Go back to work America.
They say the best way to end the measles scare is to just catch it, and be done with it forever, so what about CoVid-19?
So, who are the real conspiracy theorists now? The mass media and sick care industry never tell the truth about immunity. That is one thing we know for sure. They tell us babies have no immune system at all and need 60 vaccines by age 6 to even survive. They tell us all elderly people are weak, with brittle bones, compromised immune systems, and that dementia is natural aging and it’s inherited. Can you say population control?
We’re all supposed to be scared to death of the the measles, flu, Zika virus, human papillomavirus (HPV), and even chicken pox. There’s a vaccine for everything, and if you don’t get it, you are a science denier, a vaccine skeptic, a threat to human life on Earth. Now, don’t look, but coronavirus is set to infect 80 percent of the population of this planet, and guess who’s more likely to die from this killer cold? Oh, the hypocrisy of Western Medicine.
So, let’s say tomorrow there’s an outbreak of the Measles at Disney Land or Disney World or in a Disney Movie -- should we all rush out and get a new measles shot, even though it’s the vaccination itself that helps spread the disease via human shedders? Maybe that’s EXACTLY how the globalists plan on spreading CoVid-19 coronavirus, by making everyone paranoid and emotional one day so they’ll all rush out and get injected with the killer cold virus. This, my friends, looks like biological warfare purposely waged.

( Natural News ) It is an undisputed fact that cell phones emit radiation , and that after prolonged exposure , the human body can absorb this radiation .

Nonetheless , the studies that have been conducted have raised worrying concerns about the safety of cell phone use .
The World Health Organization ’ s International Agency for Research on Cancer ( IARC ) has categorized the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as possibly carcinogenic ( cancer-causing ) to humans .
Depending on your age ( children are at much greater risk ) and the type of device you use , using a cellular device could , therefore , be putting you at considerable risk of developing cancer .
Very few studies have been conducted on the effects of the 5G ( fifth generation ) technology being rolled out in cities across the United States .
In the absence of solid proof of its safety , many citizens have started to voice their concerns about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 5G – which requires the installation of multiple so-called “ small cell towers ” close to each other – and the serious health risks that this technology could pose .
Several cities have now taken steps to block the rollout of 5G , including the city of Mill Valley , California .

Major cities are fighting cancer-causing 5G technology
It is an undisputed fact that cell phones emit radiation, and that after prolonged exposure, the human body can absorb this radiation.
The speed at which technological developments have rolled out in the past few years means that the long-term effects of exposure to these high levels of radiation are not yet properly understood. Nonetheless, the studies that have been conducted have raised worrying concerns about the safety of cell phone use.
The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has categorized the radio frequency fields emitted by cell phones as possibly carcinogenic (cancer-causing) to humans. Depending on your age (children are at much greater risk) and the type of device you use, using a cellular device could, therefore, be putting you at considerable risk of developing cancer.
Very few studies have been conducted on the effects of the 5G (fifth generation) technology being rolled out in cities across the United States. In the absence of solid proof of its safety, many citizens have started to voice their concerns about both the aesthetic impacts of the implementation of 5G – which requires the installation of multiple so-called “small cell towers” close to each other – and the serious health risks that this technology could pose.
Several cities have now taken steps to block the rollout of 5G, including the city of Mill Valley, California.
What’s the big deal about 5G?
Having progressed one “G” at a time from 2G to 4G, many of us might be wondering why there is suddenly such a commotion about the rollout of the next “G” – 5G.
Tech Target explains:
Wireless networks are composed of cell sites divided into sectors that send data through radio waves. … Unlike 4G, which requires large, high-power cell towers to radiate signals over longer distances, 5G wireless signals will be transmitted via large numbers of small cell stations located in places like light poles or building roofs. The use of multiple small cells is necessary because the millimeter wave spectrum — the band of spectrum between 30 GHz and 300 GHz that 5G relies on to generate high speeds — can only travel over short distances and is subject to interference from weather and physical obstacles, like buildings.
It is this necessity for many, many small cell stations located all over the place that makes 5G so dangerous. It means that far higher levels of radiation will surround us in our everyday environment.
California cities blocking 5G, one after the other
As reported by Waking Times, last September, the city of Mill Valley took the step of blocking the rollout of 5G in the city, after many concerned citizens expressed their concerns about its safety.
Tech Crunch reported at the time:
Through an urgency ordinance, which allows the city council to immediately enact regulations that affect the health and safety of the community, the restrictions and prohibitions will be put into force immediately for all future applications to site 5G telecommunications equipment in the city. Applications for commercial districts are permitted under the passed ordinance.
The ordinance was driven by community concerns over the health effects of 5G wireless antennas. According to the city, it received 145 pieces of correspondence from citizens voicing opposition to the technology, compared to just five letters in support of it — a ratio of 29 to 1.
Officials in several other California cities and municipalities have subsequently made the same decision to block 5G, including Marin County and San Anselmo. And recent reports indicate that San Francisco has begun doing the same thing, by blocking it permit by permit.
These officials are absolutely doing the right thing to protect the health of their citizens. Let’s hope more cities across the U.S. decide to follow suit.

For the ladies: Eating walnuts can help halt breast cancer
Aside from being a rich source of healthy fats and antioxidants , walnuts are known for their ability to lower blood pressure, support weight loss and decrease inflammation. But researchers from Marshall University (MU) in West Virginia recently discovered another great thing about walnuts: Regular consumption of this superfood can help women fight breast cancer
Eating walnuts can alter the expression of breast tumor genes
In their previous studies, the researchers explored the effects of walnuts on cancer growth and development in mice. They found that the addition of even a small amount of walnuts to the diet of mice with human breast cancer implants significantly slowed cancer growth. Although the researchers were not able to determine which compounds were responsible for the effect, other studies point to ellagic acid, a-linolenic acid, beta-sitosterol, vitamin E and melatonin as the anti-cancer components of walnuts.
Besides slowing tumor growth, the researchers also found that a walnut-containing diet could significantly reduce tumor incidence in mice genetically programmed to develop mammary gland cancer. A look at cancer-related genes in the breast tumors of these mice revealed changes in gene expression, particularly for those involved in cell proliferation, mammary epithelial cell differentiation and cell death. And since these genes are also important in the development of human breast cancer, the researchers hypothesized that walnut consumption may have the same effect in humans.
To test this hypothesis, the MCU team conducted a two-arm, non-placebo clinical trial involving cancer patients whose breast lumps were large enough for research and pathology biopsies. They assigned the patients to either the walnut-consuming group or the control group. After biopsy collection, the women in the first group began consuming two ounces of walnuts every day until the day of their follow-up surgery. Pathological studies confirmed that the samples collected from them were breast cancer lumps.
Two weeks after the biopsy, the women underwent another surgery, during which the researchers collected additional samples. Then, they compared changes in gene expression between the surgical samples and the baseline samples for both groups. RNA sequencing expression profiling revealed that walnut consumption significantly changed the expression of 456 identified genes in the breast tumors. Further analysis confirmed the activation of pathways that promote apoptosis (programmed cell death) and cell adhesion, and the inhibition of pathways that promote cell proliferation and migration in the samples taken from the walnut-consuming group.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that walnut consumption can suppress the growth and survival of human breast cancers.
More reasons to eat walnuts
Walnuts are considered drupes or stone fruits that grow from the walnut tree. They are a great source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. A 30 g serving of organic walnuts can provide:
20 g of healthy fats
5 g of protein
3.9 g of carbohydrates
2 g of fiber
20 mg of calcium
Walnuts can also provide vitamin B6, copper, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus and iron.
Although they are high in calories and fats, most of the fats in walnuts are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered healthy. (Related: Walnuts rank as top nut, providing highest level of quality antioxidants.)
Health benefits of walnuts
Studies show that walnuts offer plenty of health benefits, such as:
Reducing the risk of heart disease
Reducing oxidative stress and inflammation
Promoting weight loss
Lowering the risk of gallstone disease
Supporting bone health
Increasing the amount of beneficial bacteria in the gut
Controlling blood sugar levels
Lowering blood pressure
Supporting healthy aging
Improving brain function
With its impressive nutrition profile and numerous health benefits, this superfood is a great addition to a healthy diet. However, walnuts are still loaded with calories, so it's best to consume them in moderation.
