I’m not surprised at what I’ve found. I could offer MANY reasons for my lack of surprise. In this article, I’ll just cite one reason. A prior case with similar features.
That case is astonishing because: it was exposed in the mainstream press; many alternative news outlets failed to recognize the implications; most independent reporters have rarely, if ever, mentioned the scandal.

And with that, I take you back to the summer of 2009. The world was agog with a pandemic called Swine Flu, caused by the H1N1 virus.
The CDC was reporting thousands of cases in America. A new vaccine had been rushed into production.
But behind the curtain, something was wrong. Actually, the CDC had STOPPED counting cases. How could that be? The agency’s main task was reporting illness and death numbers. And in the wake of their stoppage, how could the CDC claim to know there were thousands of Swine Flu cases in the US?
These questions intrigued a star investigative reporter at CBS, Sharyl Attkisson. She dug in and found out why the CDC had stopped counting cases.
Here, from an interview I conducted with her, several years ago, is her explanation:
Rappoport: In 2009, you spearheaded coverage of the so-called Swine Flu pandemic. You discovered that, in the summer of 2009, the Centers for Disease Control, ignoring their federal mandate, [secretly] stopped counting Swine Flu cases in America.

The interest in the story from one [CBS] executive was very enthusiastic. He said it was “the most original story” he’d seen on the whole Swine Flu epidemic. But others pushed to stop it [after it was published on the CBS News website [9]] and, in the end, no [CBS television news] broadcast wanted to touch it. We aired numerous stories pumping up the idea of an epidemic, but not the one that would shed original, new light on all the hype. It was fair, accurate, legally approved and a heck of a story. With the CDC keeping the true Swine Flu stats secret, it meant that many in the public took and gave their children an experimental vaccine that may not have been necessary.
—end of interview excerpt—
The routine lab testing of tissue samples from the most likely Swine Flu patients was coming back, in the overwhelming percentage of cases, with: NO SIGN OF SWINE FLU OR ANY OTHER KIND OF FLU.
Attkisson’s article about this scandal, published on the CBS News website, languished there. The next, bigger step—putting out the story on CBS television news—was waylaid. No deal. And CBS shut down any future investigation on the subject. Attkisson’s article died on the vine. No other major news outlet in the world picked up her article and ran with it deeper into the rabbit hole.
Those test samples from “Swine Flu patients” were being analyzed at state labs all over the country. The analysis was looking for the H1N1 virus, the purported cause of Swine Flu. Whatever the types of lab tests being done, they were coming back negative.

The whole pandemic, in the US, was resting on a virus that was absent.
There are important differences between the Swine Flu and COVID debacles. But you get the idea. Where is the virus?
There are punch lines to the Swine Flu story. One of them is: mainstream molecular biologists, geneticists, infectious disease specialists, and public health experts were not deterred in the slightest by Sharyl Attkisson’s revelations. These professionals did not go back to the drawing board. They did not question their own methods. They never questioned their ability to discover or isolate a new virus. They remained unshakable in their biases.
That’s called a clue.
Here’s another clue. About three weeks after Attkisson’s article was published by CBS, the CDC—the agency Attkisson had exposed—decided to double down and tell a new fantastic lie.
On November 12, 2009, WebMD published that CDC lie: “Shockingly, 14 million to 34 million U.S. residents — the CDC’s best guess is 22 million — came down with H1N1 swine flu by Oct. 17 [2009].” (“22 million cases of Swine Flu in US,” [10] by Daniel J. DeNoon).
22 MILLION cases. Based on nothing. Based on a virus that wasn’t there.

How Covid -19 Vaccine Trials Are Rigged

There ’ s been a lot of talk lately about whether or not the fast-tracked COVID-19 vaccine will in fact be safe and effective .
While vaccine makers insist that any vaccine reaching the market will have undergone rigorous testing , the way trial protocols are designed suggests these vaccines may leave a lot to be desired .
As reported1 by Forbes contributor William Haseltine , a former professor at Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health , while Moderna , Pfizer , AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson have all published their vaccine trial protocols in a rare @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the protocols raises surprising concerns.
” In a nutshell , the trial designs are such that the vaccines will get a passing grade even if their efficacy is minimal .
Of course , we must also consider vaccine side effects and I ’ ve also written several articles about mounting safety concerns .
Vaccine Epidemic : How ... Best Price : $ 7.50 Buy New $ 12.99 As noted by Haseltine , prevention of infection would typically be a critical endpoint of any vaccine trial .
In other words , you want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine , your risk of infection is significantly reduced .
However , when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine , shockingly , preventing infection is not a criterion for success in any of these trials .
The only criterion for a successful COVID-19 vaccine is a reduction of COVID-19 symptoms , and even then , the reduction required is minimal .
To get a “ passing ” grade in the limited interim analysis , a vaccine must show a 70 % efficacy .
However , again , this does not mean it will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
As explained by Haseltine:3 The other vaccine makers are basing results on a similar protocol , where only a limited number of vaccinated participants are exposed to the virus to evaluate the extent of their symptoms .
Johnson & Johnson ’ s interim analysis will include results from 77 vaccine recipients who have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 , and if fewer than 18 of them develop symptoms of COVID-19 , compared to 59 in the control group , the vaccine will be considered successful .
Zinc Maxx - Maximum Zi ... Buy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Count ) In AstraZeneca ’ s case , the interim analysis includes 50 vaccine recipients .
The vaccine will be a success if 12 or fewer develop symptoms after exposure to SARS-CoV-2 , compared to 19 in the 25-person control group .
Pfizer ’ s interim analysis is the smallest of the bunch , with just 32 vaccine recipients .
Their success margin is seven or fewer vaccine recipients developing symptoms , compared to 25 in the control group .
In the primary analysis , efficacy is set to about 60 % , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be included in that analysis .
Especially concerning are that those receiving the vaccine in these trials are young and healthy individuals who are not really at high risk of dying from COVID-19 .
This makes the results of these trials highly questionable in the far more vulnerable population of the elderly .
Trials Are Merely Testing Reduction of Common Cold Symptoms As if that ’ s not eyebrow-raising enough , the minimum qualification for a “ case of COVID-19 ” amounts to just one positive PCR test and one or two mild @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , cough or mild nausea .
As noted by Haseltine , “ This is far from adequate.
” All they ’ re doing is testing to see if this COVID-19 vaccine will minimize common cold symptoms .
They are not actually ensuring the vaccine will prevent serious COVID-19 complications .
Johnson & Johnson ’ s trial is the only one that requires at least five severe COVID-19 cases to be included in the interim analysis .
Severe illness and death are also secondary objectives in these trials , and none of them include @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an important barrier to success .
The increasingly disappearing common sense tells us that if the vaccine can not reduce infection , hospitalization or death , then it can not end the pandemic , which means everyone who takes the vaccine will be doing so in vain .
Thimerosal : Let the Sc ... Kennedy Jr. , Robert F. Best Price : $ 18.01 Buy New $ 15.93 Some COVID-19 Vaccine Trials Are Not Using Inert Placebos In addition to all of that , some COVID-19 vaccine trials are using other vaccines as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inert substances such as saline , which effectively makes if far easier to hide any vaccine side effects .
While Moderna is using a saline solution placebo,5 AstraZeneca is using injected meningococcal vaccine rather than a true placebo.6 Another way AstraZeneca is masking potential side effects is by administering the vaccine along with certain drugs .
In one of its study arms , subjects are given acetaminophen every six hours for the first 24 hours after inoculation .

In addition to masking side effects , it is widely recognized among literate natural medicine physicians that using acetaminophen during acute viral infections is not a wise strategy as it impairs the immune response to fight the infection .
September 6 , 2020 , AstraZeneca paused its Phase 3 vaccine trial due to a “ suspected serious and unexpected adverse reaction ” in a British participant.8,9 The company did not initially divulge the nature of the adverse reaction , but it has since been revealed the volunteer developed severe inflammation of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ September 12 , 2020 , the British Medicines Health Regulatory Authority gave AstraZeneca the go-ahead to resume its Phase 3 trial in the U.K. , after an independent review found it “ safe to do so.
” 12,13 According to an AstraZeneca spokesperson , the incident was a case of undiagnosed multiple sclerosis.14 Days later , September 19 , 2020 , The New York Times reported15 a second case of transverse myelitis had occurred in the AstraZeneca trial .
According to one expert consulted by the NYT , the occurrence represented a “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ third incidence might shut down the vaccine trial indefinitely .
Organic Zinc Sulfate L ... Buy New $ 18.95 ( $ 4.74 / Fl Oz ) AstraZeneca , however , claims the two cases are “ unlikely to be associated with the vaccine , ” and that there ’ s “ insufficient evidence to say for certain that the illnesses were or were not related to the vaccine.
” 16 October 21 , 2020 , it was reported17 that one of the volunteers in AstraZeneca ’ s Brazilian trial had died from COVID-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continue anyway .
October 12 , 2020 , Johnson & Johnson halted its trial due to “ unexplained illness ” in one of its participants.18,19 Like AstraZeneca , Johnson & Johnson has kept mum about the details of the illness , saying “ it ’ s important to have all the facts before we share additional information.
” The fact that more trials have not been halted is surprising considering the rate of side effects20 occurring in perfectly healthy volunteers .
As reported in “ Gates Tries to Justify Side Effects of Fast-Tracked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine , 80 % of Phase 1 participants receiving the 100 microgram ( mcg ) dose developed systemic side effects.21 After the second dose , 100 % reported side effects ranging from fatigue ( 80 % ) , chills ( 80 % ) , headache ( 60 % ) and myalgia or muscle pain ( 53 % ) .

” An October 1 , 2020 , report24 by CNBC reviews the experiences of five participants in Moderna ’ s and Pfizer ’ s SARS-CoV-2 vaccine trials .
One of the participants in Pfizer ’ s vaccine trial “ woke up with chills , shaking so hard he cracked a tooth after taking the second dose.
” A Moderna trial participant told CNBC he had a low-grade @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” for several days after his first shot .
Eight hours after his second shot he was “ bed-bound with a fever of over 101 , shakes , chills , a pounding headache and shortness of breath .
He said the pain in his arm , where he received the shot , felt like a ‘ goose egg on my shoulder.
’ He hardly slept that night , recording that his temperature was higher than 100 degrees for five hours.

At the time of the failed HIV vaccine , scientists were unable to identify the exact reason why Ad5 seemed to increase the risk of HIV ; it just inexplicably did .
Interestingly , Dr. Anthony Fauci was the lead author on the HIV study,30 in which he questioned “ whether the problem extends to some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ currently in development or to other vector-based vaccines.
” Reflecting on that question , the researchers say they decided to go public with this information now , because Ad5 vaccines for COVID-19 might soon be tested in populations with high HIV prevalence , and they believe that informed consent about the HIV/AIDS risk should be part of the COVID-19 clinical studies .

COVID-19 Vaccine Trials Rigged to Pass Efficacy Test
As noted by Haseltine, prevention of infection would typically be a critical endpoint of any vaccine trial. In other words, you want to ensure that when you take the vaccine, your risk of infection is significantly reduced.
However, when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine, shockingly, preventing infection is not a criterion for success in any of these trials. The only criterion for a successful COVID-19 vaccine is a reduction of COVID-19 symptoms, and even then, the reduction required is minimal.
“We all expect an effective vaccine to prevent serious illness if infected. Three of the vaccine protocols — Moderna, Pfizer, and AstraZeneca — do not require that their vaccine prevent serious disease only that they prevent moderate symptoms which may be as mild as cough, or headache,” Haseltine writes,2 adding:
“The pharmaceutical companies intend to do trials ranging from 30,000 to 60,000 participants. This scale of study would be sufficient for testing vaccine efficacy.
The first surprise found upon a closer reading of the protocols reveals that each study intends to complete interim and primary analyses that at most include 164 participants. These companies likely intend to apply for an emergency use authorization (EUA) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with just their limited preliminary results.”
To get a “passing” grade in the limited interim analysis, a vaccine must show a 70% efficacy. However, again, this does not mean it will prevent infection in 7 of 10 people. As explained by Haseltine:3
“For Moderna, the initial interim analysis will be based on the results of infection of only 53 people. The judgment reached in interim analysis is dependent upon the difference in the number of people with symptoms … in the vaccinated group versus the unvaccinated group. Moderna’s success margin is for 13 or less of those 53 to develop symptoms compared to 40 or more in their control group.”
The other vaccine makers are basing results on a similar protocol, where only a limited number of vaccinated participants are exposed to the virus to evaluate the extent of their symptoms.
Johnson & Johnson’s interim analysis will include results from 77 vaccine recipients who have been infected with SARS-CoV-2, and if fewer than 18 of them develop symptoms of COVID-19, compared to 59 in the control group, the vaccine will be considered successful.

Pfizer’s interim analysis is the smallest of the bunch, with just 32 vaccine recipients. Their success margin is seven or fewer vaccine recipients developing symptoms, compared to 25 in the control group. In the primary analysis, efficacy is set to about 60%, and at most, 164 volunteers will be included in that analysis.
Especially concerning are that those receiving the vaccine in these trials are young and healthy individuals who are not really at high risk of dying from COVID-19. This makes the results of these trials highly questionable in the far more vulnerable population of the elderly.

As if that’s not eyebrow-raising enough, the minimum qualification for a “case of COVID-19” amounts to just one positive PCR test and one or two mild symptoms, such as headache, fever, cough or mild nausea. As noted by Haseltine, “This is far from adequate.”
All they’re doing is testing to see if this COVID-19 vaccine will minimize common cold symptoms. They are not actually ensuring the vaccine will prevent serious COVID-19 complications. Johnson & Johnson’s trial is the only one that requires at least five severe COVID-19 cases to be included in the interim analysis.
“One of the more immediate questions a trial needs to answer is whether a vaccine prevents infection. If someone takes this vaccine, are they far less likely to become infected with the virus?
These trials all clearly focus on eliminating symptoms of COVID-19, and not infections themselves. Asymptomatic infection is listed as a secondary objective in these trials when they should be of critical importance.
It appears that all the pharmaceutical companies assume that the vaccine will never prevent infection. Their criteria for approval is the difference in symptoms between an infected control group and an infected vaccine group. They do not measure the difference between infection and noninfection as a primary motivation,” Haseltine writes.4
Severe illness and death are also secondary objectives in these trials, and none of them include failure to prevent hospitalization or death as an important barrier to success. The increasingly disappearing common sense tells us that if the vaccine cannot reduce infection, hospitalization or death, then it cannot end the pandemic, which means everyone who takes the vaccine will be doing so in vain.

Some COVID-19 Vaccine Trials Are Not Using Inert Placebos
In addition to all of that, some COVID-19 vaccine trials are using other vaccines as “placebo” rather than truly biologically inert substances such as saline, which effectively makes if far easier to hide any vaccine side effects. While Moderna is using a saline solution placebo,5 AstraZeneca is using injected meningococcal vaccine rather than a true placebo.6
Another way AstraZeneca is masking potential side effects is by administering the vaccine along with certain drugs. In one of its study arms, subjects are given acetaminophen every six hours for the first 24 hours after inoculation. The pain and fever reducer could potentially mask and downplay side effects such as pain, fever, headache or general malaise.
In addition to masking side effects, it is widely recognized among literate natural medicine physicians that using acetaminophen during acute viral infections is not a wise strategy as it impairs the immune response to fight the infection.

“The press release for … results from the Oxford vaccine trials described an increased frequency of ‘minor side effects’ among participants. A look at the actual paper, though, reveals this to be a marketing spin …
Yes, mild reactions were far more common than worse ones. But moderate or severe harms — defined as being bad enough to interfere with daily life or needing medical care — were common too.
Around one-third of people vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine without acetaminophen experienced moderate or severe chills, fatigue, headache, malaise, and/or feverishness.
Close to 10 percent had a fever of at least 100.4 degrees, and just over one-fourth developed moderate or severe muscle aches. That’s a lot, in a young and healthy group of people — and the acetaminophen didn’t help much for most of those problems.”
Two Trials Paused Due to Safety Concerns
September 6, 2020, AstraZeneca paused its Phase 3 vaccine trial due to a “suspected serious and unexpected adverse reaction” in a British participant.8,9 The company did not initially divulge the nature of the adverse reaction, but it has since been revealed the volunteer developed severe inflammation of the spinal cord, known as transverse myelitis.10,11
September 12, 2020, the British Medicines Health Regulatory Authority gave AstraZeneca the go-ahead to resume its Phase 3 trial in the U.K., after an independent review found it “safe to do so.”12,13 According to an AstraZeneca spokesperson, the incident was a case of undiagnosed multiple sclerosis.14
Days later, September 19, 2020, The New York Times reported15 a second case of transverse myelitis had occurred in the AstraZeneca trial. According to one expert consulted by the NYT, the occurrence represented a “dangerous pattern,” and that a third incidence might shut down the vaccine trial indefinitely. Organic Zinc Sulfate L...

AstraZeneca, however, claims the two cases are “unlikely to be associated with the vaccine,” and that there’s “insufficient evidence to say for certain that the illnesses were or were not related to the vaccine.”16 October 21, 2020, it was reported17 that one of the volunteers in AstraZeneca’s Brazilian trial had died from COVID-19 complications, but that the trial would continue anyway.
October 12, 2020, Johnson & Johnson halted its trial due to “unexplained illness” in one of its participants.18,19 Like AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson has kept mum about the details of the illness, saying “it’s important to have all the facts before we share additional information.”
Side Effects Are Commonplace
The fact that more trials have not been halted is surprising considering the rate of side effects20 occurring in perfectly healthy volunteers. As reported in “Gates Tries to Justify Side Effects of Fast-Tracked Vaccine,” after the first of two doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, 80% of Phase 1 participants receiving the 100 microgram (mcg) dose developed systemic side effects.21
After the second dose, 100% reported side effects ranging from fatigue (80%), chills (80%), headache (60%) and myalgia or muscle pain (53%).
Despite that, the 100-mcg dose was ultimately chosen to move on to Phase 3 trials.22 In the highest dosage group, which received 250 mcg, 100% of participants suffered side effects after both the first and second doses.23 Three of the 14 participants (21%) in the 250-mcg group suffered “one or more severe events.”
An October 1, 2020, report24 by CNBC reviews the experiences of five participants in Moderna’s and Pfizer’s SARS-CoV-2 vaccine trials. One of the participants in Pfizer’s vaccine trial “woke up with chills, shaking so hard he cracked a tooth after taking the second dose.”
A Moderna trial participant told CNBC he had a low-grade fever and felt “under the weather” for several days after his first shot. Eight hours after his second shot he was “bed-bound with a fever of over 101, shakes, chills, a pounding headache and shortness of breath. He said the pain in his arm, where he received the shot, felt like a ‘goose egg on my shoulder.’ He hardly slept that night, recording that his temperature was higher than 100 degrees for five hours.”25
Two others reported similar side effects, and a third warned you would need to take a day off after the second shot. CNBC also noted that “as companies progressed through clinical trials, several vaccine makers abandoned their highest doses following reports of more severe reactions.” The Vaccine Court: The...

Might Certain COVID-19 Vaccines Raise Risk of AIDS?
Disturbingly, a group of researchers are now expressing concern that some COVID-19 vaccine candidates might put certain people at a higher risk of acquiring HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.26,27,28
Using the failed attempt to create an HIV vaccine as an example, researchers explain29 that the genetically engineered adenovirus, Ad5, used in the HIV vaccine trials, is the same one being used now in four COVID-19 candidates being studied in the U.S., Russia and Pakistan.
At the time of the failed HIV vaccine, scientists were unable to identify the exact reason why Ad5 seemed to increase the risk of HIV; it just inexplicably did. Interestingly, Dr. Anthony Fauci was the lead author on the HIV study,30 in which he questioned “whether the problem extends to some or all of the other recombinant vectors currently in development or to other vector-based vaccines.”
Reflecting on that question, the researchers say they decided to go public with this information now, because Ad5 vaccines for COVID-19 might soon be tested in populations with high HIV prevalence, and they believe that informed consent about the HIV/AIDS risk should be part of the COVID-19 clinical studies.
Will COVID-19 Vaccine Be Mandatory?
According to one September 2020 poll,31 only 51% of Americans said they “definitely or probably” would get the COVID-19 vaccine when it comes out. Another survey32 found only 44% would take the first-generation vaccine even if they were paid $100. Mounting vaccine hesitancy was bemoaned in an October 1, 2020, article33 in the New England Journal of Medicine, and the answer, the article suggests, is to make it mandatory for all.
And, to entice compliance, the authors recommend implementing severe penalties for noncompliance, such as the suspension of employment and/or house arrest.
An October 19, 2020, article 34 by Wisconsin Public Radio also warns that if precedents hold, employers may have the right to force workers to get vaccinated. Potential exceptions might include certain medical issues, bona fide religious objections, and certain union contracts that bar vaccine requirements.
Operation Warp Speed recently selected Walgreens and CVS as nationwide partners in the coming vaccine distribution effort.35 Nursing homes and long-term care facilities around the U.S. can opt in by signing up to have either of these companies come and administer the vaccine to its residents and staff, once available.
So-called “health passports” are also becoming reality. Ireland, for example, has already begun its national trial. The Health Passport Ireland initiative uses an app to track and display results of COVID-19 testing. Vaccination status will be added once a vaccine becomes available. Bronson Zinc Triple Pl... Buy New $19.99 ($0.20 / Count) (as of 03:47 UTC - Details)
Untold amounts of money are also being spent on programs to tag, track and trace the human population in the name of public health and safety. According to an article36 in the journal JAMA, the estimated cumulative costs of the COVID-19 pandemic related to lost output and health reduction amounts to more than $16 trillion in the U.S. alone, or about 90% of our annual gross domestic product.
“For this reason, policies that can materially reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 have enormous social value,” the article claims. However, testing, tracing and isolation rules, all of which are promoted in this article, also have a price, and it’s one that any sensible person would reject, namely the loss of privacy and liberty.
As reported37 by The Last American Vagabond, governments are selling our freedom in the name of public health. Do we really want to live in a “biosecurity state”? These freedom-robbing strategies are being sold to us as the path back to normalcy, but the reality will be anything but normal.
As detailed in “The Global Takeover Is Underway,” the pandemic and the global response to it is far from accidental. Overwhelmingly, the evidence points to it being part of a much larger scheme to implement the last stages of a technocratic takeover.
I’ve also covered various aspects of this globalists agenda in “COVID Symptoms of Power: Tech Billionaires Harvest Humanity,” “Tech Billionaires Aiming at a Global Currency,” “Harvard Professor Exposes Surveillance Capitalism,” “How Medical Technocracy Made the Plandemic Possible” and “US Surveillance Bill 6666: The Devil in the Details.”
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically widened the economic gap between average people and the wealthy elite,38,39 and continuing down the path we’re currently on will only make this disparity worse, not better.
The globalist plan isn’t about creating a better world for the average person, it’s about enslaving us so that we cannot reject or even resist what’s ultimately coming. Forced vaccinations are but one aspect of the plan that must be resisted at all cost.

I think that just about everyone realizes that this national temper tantrum is coming. It is just that most of those that deeply care about politics assume that it will happen to the other side.

As the U.S. braces for election-related unrest next month, Facebook executives are implementing emergency measures reserved for “at-risk” countries in a company-wide effort to bring down the online temperature. The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that the social media giant plans to limit the spread of viral content and lower the benchmark for suppressing potentially inflammatory posts using internal tools previously deployed in Sri Lanka and Myanmar.
So what would those “emergency measures” look like? Well, that could potentially even include manipulating your news feed to alter what sort of content you are allowed to see…
Facebook has a number of options it could take including “slowing the spread of viral content and lowering the bar for suppressing potentially inflammatory posts” and “tweaking the news feed to change what types of content users see,” the Wall Street Journal reported.
Of course Facebook has already been manipulating our news feeds for a very long time, but that is a topic for another article.
Personally, I absolutely detest all of the censorship that the big social media companies have been doing, and I am not surprised that they are preparing to go even further.
According to Facebook, these new “emergency measures” will be implemented if there is “election-related violence”…
However, the social media colossus only plans to put these restrictions in place in the event of election-related violence (something many others are fearful of and preparing for). However, during a staff meeting CEO Mark Zuckerberg said “a decisive victory from someone” could “be helpful for clarity and for not having violence or civil unrest after the election” which would reduce Facebook’s need to step in.
Considering the fact that we are seeing election-related violence almost constantly now, I would say that there is a pretty good chance that Facebook will actually proceed with these emergency measures.
Meanwhile, the Washington Post is also deeply concerned about what this election may do to our nation. In a very long article that they just published, they discussed the fact that both sides are convinced that “the wrong outcome will bring disaster”… Trump’s Democrats Shields, Jon A.

Insiders

Here is a hypothetical scenario .
It is based on insiders and outsiders .
If you can call the President of the United States on the phone and talk to him you are an insider , otherwise you are an outsider .
As Dan Aykroyd so elegantly showed in the movie Trading Places , outsiders , standing in the cold rain , get to press their nose against the glass and see what the insiders are enjoying .
Twenty years ago I read a book called ‘ Blowback ’ and the basic theme was that the illegal drug trade was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gov ’ t , banks and stock exchange from cratering because of a century of mis-management via wars , taxes and paper money ; that all our wars were just excuses to let the government do whatever it wanted and keep the whole charade going longer .
The War on Drugs was really a war on individual freedom and their constitutional protections – drug criminal has no rights : to be accused is to be guilty .
Blowback , Second Editi ... Johnson , Chalmers Best Price : $ 0.25 Buy New $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ printing money and illegal drug trade is healthcare , where else can you sell emergency room stitches for $ 1000 apiece ?
If you get admitted to a hospital it is $ 6,000 per night hotel with bad food , no bar and for that pleasure you will get woken up every four hours to check vitals : blood pressure and temperature .
Should they do anything to you that number goes higher quickly .
Eight trillion dollars were printed and $ 300 billion given to individuals .
Where did the other seven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Guaranteed we will never know .
So now Blowback makes more sense – freedom for financial innovation i.e .
scams is getting more limited .
The US is now well over the point where national debt being is greater than one year pre-covid GDP and realistically after printing 20+ trillion dollars , a dollar for dollar accounting effort is not only unlikely , it is probably also hopeless ; pretty much any fiscal responsibility is long gone .
Trump/Biden are now in a race to see who wants to give away the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the US economy gets a cold ( recession ) all the other economies go on life support ( depression ) so by that logic crippling the US economy will kill others around the world .
The drums are beating now against Russia/China .
Everyday you hear something new about them .
Our government always needs an enemy even if they have to make one up like Vietnam or War on Terror/Drugs/Racism/Sexism whatever .
Value is subjective , it is based upon perception and everyone ’ s perception is different from everyone else ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in his epic ‘ Human Action ’ value is based upon acting man ’ s dissatisfaction with something and then trying to ease that mental tension by acting , doing something , creating value .
Imagine the satisfaction of sitting in the cold rain until one of your buddies shows you a nice dry cave .
Another genius rubs sticks together with leaves , dry wood and a warm fire appears .
This mental tension of dissatisfaction has driven our primitive tribe based hunter/gatherers to our modern economies .
Nonetheless value still remains @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ... JOHNSON , CHALMERS Best Price : $ 0.93 Buy New $ 9.25 If we wanted to decimate the hopelessly corrupt Chinese government all we need do is default on our bonds then block all Chinese imports .
We are already block their semiconductor business ( Huawei ) and are trying to get other countries to go along .

History has shown stocks/bonds and paper @ @ @ @ @ @ @ means that the world ’ s wealthiest man for example , Jeff Bezos , can become a pauper like the rest of us when the paper goes to 0 value .
The whole purpose of the Federal Reserve System is to protect the wealthy and things they own like banks .
What von Mises proved using deductive logic is that specie based money ( gold/silver ) is the only system that does not fail .
With such a system the economy undergoes slow gentle deflation .
When this happens the value of savings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over time .
Prices continue to fall which makes a workers income have greater and greater purchasing power .
Modern bankers are the one class of people that have no purpose in this system , their thieving system of inflation is gone .
Sadly every significant economy in the world is fiat/paper currency based .
We can not let the common man profit at the bankers expense .
ALL banks are inherently unstable , they start that way , they live that way and they die that way .
There is not a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ run on their debts .
Cash bank deposits are debts , not assets .
The assets a bank has are outstanding loans .
As happened many times in history .
Bank runs are just deposits the account holders have and they now want their money back .

He did not announce this in his campaign .
The day he took office he ended prohibition .
The gold seizure got lost in the frenzy .
The power FDR had has been worshipped by the vast majority of national level politicians .
The Federal Register documents in excruciating detail leviathan ’ s strangling control and the end of freedom .
A free country has no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) however an unfree country requires a vast spy network and a secret police .
Facebook , Google , Twitter , Internet ( your cell phone is just a computer on Class A non-routable but private network ) and location information ( where your cell phone has pinged ) is stored along with every email and text ever sent .
The US now has all the tools in place for the President to do whatever he/she wants .
Crush China then repudiate bonds .
This will also bring the rest of the world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the wealthy out of simple resentment but historically they have been tolerated in order to facilitate politician ’ s dreams .
These ‘ useful idiots ’ as Stalin said are essential to the plan to take control .
On the bright side the United States Government has proven that along with its allies ( more useful idiots ) it can be completely self-sufficient in food , energy and manufacturing as we demonstrated so ably in World War II .
Estimates on the casualties of World War II were between 50 and 100 million @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Very very cost effective .
To the government an individual is just another tool in the toolbelt .
World War III is not going to be fought with nuclear weapons or large standing armies .
It will be fought with paper .
American citizens will be allowed to have blue dollars .
Green dollars will be just to light your cigars with should you have any then .
Historically every empire ultimately dies at the bank .
Battlefields just accelerate the process .
Donald Trump Coin 2020 ... Buy New $ 5.35 President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media ’ s collective desires and they have been in a froth over this .
They thought it was their sacred duty to say who wins and loses .
They got drunk with power when they got the Arkansas Rube Clinton elected .
While Trump is human thus like the rest of us and has many flaws he has steadfastly refused to start anymore wars no matter how loud our media sycophants have brayed about them .
This is where covid comes in , kill the economy , and the people will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say socialism !
As von Mises has shown it is always a product of the wealthy .
As he said “ Socialism is for those who would think and must be prevented.
” The covid pandemic has gone a long way to scare the world and make them desperate for the help that only strong central governments can provide .
Sadly a socialist country always runs out of other people ’ s money .
Socialism drains the future for the present .
Capital that could be used in productive future enterprises gets drained @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with this , as von Mises has shown , economies thus become fragile and some unplanned exigence renders them helpless since there is no capital available to construct a solution .
So in the event the President will not take your call then you are an outsider .
You will not make things happen , things will happen to you .
Outsiders just ride the big wave , hoping not to drown but incapable of determining where it goes or what it hits .

Here is a hypothetical scenario. It is based on insiders and outsiders. If you can call the President of the United States on the phone and talk to him you are an insider, otherwise you are an outsider. As Dan Aykroyd so elegantly showed in the movie Trading Places, outsiders, standing in the cold rain, get to press their nose against the glass and see what the insiders are enjoying.
Twenty years ago I read a book called ‘Blowback’ and the basic theme was that the illegal drug trade was so profitable that it kept the US gov’t, banks and stock exchange from cratering because of a century of mis-management via wars, taxes and paper money; that all our wars were just excuses to let the government do whatever it wanted and keep the whole charade going longer. The War on Drugs was really a war on individual freedom and their constitutional protections – drug criminal has no rights: to be accused is to be guilty.
Blowback, Second Editi... Johnson, Chalmers Best Price: $0.25 Buy New $8.05 (as of 11:30 UTC - Details) The best remaining scam other than printing money and illegal drug trade is healthcare, where else can you sell emergency room stitches for $1000 apiece? If you get admitted to a hospital it is $6,000 per night hotel with bad food, no bar and for that pleasure you will get woken up every four hours to check vitals: blood pressure and temperature. Should they do anything to you that number goes higher quickly.
Eight trillion dollars were printed and $300 billion given to individuals. Where did the other seven trillion seven hundred billion and change go? Guaranteed we will never know. So now Blowback makes more sense – freedom for financial innovation i.e. scams is getting more limited.
The US is now well over the point where national debt being is greater than one year pre-covid GDP and realistically after printing 20+ trillion dollars, a dollar for dollar accounting effort is not only unlikely, it is probably also hopeless; pretty much any fiscal responsibility is long gone. Trump/Biden are now in a race to see who wants to give away the most $$ for election.
When the US economy gets a cold (recession) all the other economies go on life support (depression) so by that logic crippling the US economy will kill others around the world.
The drums are beating now against Russia/China. Everyday you hear something new about them. Our government always needs an enemy even if they have to make one up like Vietnam or War on Terror/Drugs/Racism/Sexism whatever.
Value is subjective, it is based upon perception and everyone’s perception is different from everyone else’s. As Ludwig von Mises demonstrated in his epic ‘Human Action’ value is based upon acting man’s dissatisfaction with something and then trying to ease that mental tension by acting, doing something, creating value. Imagine the satisfaction of sitting in the cold rain until one of your buddies shows you a nice dry cave. Another genius rubs sticks together with leaves, dry wood and a warm fire appears. This mental tension of dissatisfaction has driven our primitive tribe based hunter/gatherers to our modern economies. Nonetheless value still remains subjective. The Sorrows of Empire:...

If we wanted to decimate the hopelessly corrupt Chinese government all we need do is default on our bonds then block all Chinese imports. We are already block their semiconductor business (Huawei) and are trying to get other countries to go along.
The wealthy elite have literally all their wealth predicated upon ownership of stocks/bonds and trust accounts (I trust you to give me back my money). History has shown stocks/bonds and paper money always become worthless eventually. This means that the world’s wealthiest man for example, Jeff Bezos, can become a pauper like the rest of us when the paper goes to 0 value. The whole purpose of the Federal Reserve System is to protect the wealthy and things they own like banks.
What von Mises proved using deductive logic is that specie based money (gold/silver) is the only system that does not fail. With such a system the economy undergoes slow gentle deflation. When this happens the value of savings, that is capital, grows slowly over time. Prices continue to fall which makes a workers income have greater and greater purchasing power. Modern bankers are the one class of people that have no purpose in this system, their thieving system of inflation is gone. Sadly every significant economy in the world is fiat/paper currency based.
We cannot let the common man profit at the bankers expense. ALL banks are inherently unstable, they start that way, they live that way and they die that way. There is not a bank in existence that can tolerate a run on their debts. Cash bank deposits are debts, not assets. The assets a bank has are outstanding loans. As happened many times in history. Bank runs are just deposits the account holders have and they now want their money back. Cannot allow the common man control his future!
Nemesis: The Last Days... Johnson, Chalmers Best Price: $1.50 Buy New $10.01 (as of 03:50 UTC - Details) Franklin Delano Rosevelt, worshipped by most politician’s, repudiated the contract with Americans exchanging gold for dollars which had been the law. He seized all gold bullion in the country. He followed this up by making ownership of gold except pre 1933 US coins a crime. He did not announce this in his campaign. The day he took office he ended prohibition. The gold seizure got lost in the frenzy.
The power FDR had has been worshipped by the vast majority of national level politicians. The Federal Register documents in excruciating detail leviathan’s strangling control and the end of freedom. A free country has no need of classified laws (Patriot Act) however an unfree country requires a vast spy network and a secret police. Facebook, Google, Twitter, Internet (your cell phone is just a computer on Class A non-routable but private network) and location information (where your cell phone has pinged) is stored along with every email and text ever sent.
The US now has all the tools in place for the President to do whatever he/she wants. Crush China then repudiate bonds. This will also bring the rest of the world to its knees. Politicians actually despise the wealthy out of simple resentment but historically they have been tolerated in order to facilitate politician’s dreams. These ‘useful idiots’ as Stalin said are essential to the plan to take control.
On the bright side the United States Government has proven that along with its allies (more useful idiots) it can be completely self-sufficient in food, energy and manufacturing as we demonstrated so ably in World War II. Estimates on the casualties of World War II were between 50 and 100 million deaths; US deaths under 300,000. Very very cost effective. To the government an individual is just another tool in the toolbelt.
World War III is not going to be fought with nuclear weapons or large standing armies. It will be fought with paper. American citizens will be allowed to have blue dollars. Green dollars will be just to light your cigars with should you have any then.
Historically every empire ultimately dies at the bank. Battlefields just accelerate the process.
Donald Trump Coin 2020... Buy New $5.35 (as of 05:19 UTC - Details) President Donald Trump was elected against the mainstream media’s collective desires and they have been in a froth over this. They thought it was their sacred duty to say who wins and loses. They got drunk with power when they got the Arkansas Rube Clinton elected.
While Trump is human thus like the rest of us and has many flaws he has steadfastly refused to start anymore wars no matter how loud our media sycophants have brayed about them. This is where covid comes in, kill the economy, and the people will be so desperate for help which is to say socialism! As von Mises has shown it is always a product of the wealthy. As he said “Socialism is for those who would think and must be prevented.” The covid pandemic has gone a long way to scare the world and make them desperate for the help that only strong central governments can provide. Sadly a socialist country always runs out of other people’s money. Socialism drains the future for the present. Capital that could be used in productive future enterprises gets drained by the political present. The problem with this, as von Mises has shown, economies thus become fragile and some unplanned exigence renders them helpless since there is no capital available to construct a solution.
So in the event the President will not take your call then you are an outsider. You will not make things happen, things will happen to you. Outsiders just ride the big wave, hoping not to drown but incapable of determining where it goes or what it hits. All empires fall. The only question is when. Don’t let it fall on you and yours.
