My subsequent requests for clarification induce paroxysms of frustration. Luckily, this book has now rescued me from my generational ignorance.

Lindsay, James Buy New $21.14 (as of 03:40 UTC - Details) The authors pinpoint how this ideology grew out of the distrust of liberal social orders following the enormity of the two world wars. The left’s all-consuming alternative ideology, Marxism, also failed, as the unsurprising bankruptcy of collectivist countries proved. Man eventually realized the God of Scientific Progress didn’t care about him. Traditional conservatives won’t dispute the left’s assessment of the soulless postwar decades as “an artificial, hedonistic, capitalist, consumerist world of fantasy and play.”
Postmodernists eagerly injected their nefarious philosophy into that spiritual vacuum in accord with two principles: skepticism about whether objective truth is knowable, and the belief that knowledge is determined by the power structures of society. Neither sanity nor logic could escape postmodernism’s metaphysical black hole. You’ve probably rolled your eyes at the mishmash of academic theories it inspired which defile university curricula today—postcolonial, queer, critical race, intersectional, feminist, and gender, each of which gets a full chapter in this book.

Climate Treason
The globalists have made a big mistake in their fanatism on climate, and they should pay for it. Precarious business to bet against Mother Nature. They have huffed and puffed, crying wolf about how hot it is becoming and how snow will be a thing of the past. Yet all their words, publications, organizations, including governmental institutions, cannot stop the increasing snow and cold.
The biggest East Coast winter storm in years just hit approximately 50 million because of record-breaking warm temperatures? However, as we shall see below, last week, Europe and Russia got hit even harder.
People who listen to the mainstream narrative about climate or anything else have become mind slaves and become implicit in the great harm done.

Instead of no snow, we have record snow. Instead of warmer weather, we have record cold. Instead of longer growing seasons, we have shorter ones, and many people will go hungry because of that. The mercury dropped to minus 10 degrees Celsius after heavy snowfall in Kalam, Pakistan, also last week.
It would have seemed that the weather’s reality would have collapsed the man-made global warming narrative by now because it has been that cold. The snow started last summer and has increased into the fall. Winter this year came in the fall. It started snowing at the end of the summer, just what we should expect in a desperately warming world, right? The cold is only getting colder. Do you see any of this in the mainstream news?
Remember, there is supposed to be an end to snow and enough heat to make our blood boil. Instead of preparing for the cold and its consequences, they have the human stock mentally stampeding for the end of the world through intense heat. They mess with us in the worst way and get away with it, but Mother Nature will crush their false narratives.
Buildings are already collapsing in Austria, yet President-elect Joe Biden is poised to unleash a series of executive actions on his first day in the Oval Office. In the first hours after he takes the oath, Biden has said he will send a letter to the United Nations, indicating that the country will rejoin the global effort to combat climate change.
What does the New York Post think about trusting Biden on climate? “What was Joe Biden thinking for his choice of climate-change ambassador extraordinaire? John Kerry is one of the biggest gasbags in American politics, singlehandedly responsible for massive amounts of terrible emissions.”
It’s complete lunacy. Trump might not be trustable (has any president been) with his cabinet of prominent bankers, but he has some climate sanity.

Would you believe a global warming propaganda piece that says the lowest June snow cover in Eurasia since records began in 1967? “Overall, the annual snow cover on land has been decreasing since 1981 at a rate of 3.7 percent per decade – with an even steeper decrease of 15 percent per decade for the May-June period,” the report said.

Conclusion
In sum, we have the great historic disgrace of media outlets collaborating with the intelligence community, politicians worldwide, and a large group of climate scientists perpetuating a narrative that is the exact opposite of the truth. Where is all the snow and cold coming from? Yes, to minds twisted from the constant propaganda of global warming fanatics, it comes from the heat.

lewrockwell--2020-12-18--The Fine Art of Bribery

The Fine Art of Bribery

You may have heard the saying , “ Bribery will get you nowhere.
” I ’ m here to tell you that ’ s simply not true .
In fact , bribery , when done correctly , will get you just about everywhere you want to be .
I ’ ve spent as much time as possible traveling over the past few years , and basically , everywhere I ’ ve gone , there is corruption .
( And yes , this includes the United States . )
Where there is corruption , there is generally an opportunity for bribery @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do , but one thing I ’ ve learned through research and personal experience is that there are situations that call for behaviors in which you wouldn ’ t normally participate .
Becoming comfortable with things outside your normal boundaries is important .
Men ’ s 10K Yellow ... Buy New $ 132.95 Now , you ’ ve got to be careful The first thing you must know is that bribing a public official is not a good idea – in fact , it ’ s a felony-level lousy idea .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ States of America to bribe cops , judges , politicians , and other public officials .
I am not by any stretch of the imagination recommending that you go and bribe somebody .
There are things that can go wrong—lots of them .
Don ’ t read this and dash off on a bribery spree .
I encourage you to be a law-abiding citizen and avoid the need for bribes altogether .
But theoretically , if the S were to HTF , and strictly for entertainment purposes , it ’ s one of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plan to use .
Knowing how and when to give a bribe can be a very useful skill The world is not a perfect place , and stuff happens .
Discretion is the key .
You don ’ t want to make it seem like you are adding fuel to your felonious fire .
You never know if you are talking to the one extremely honest fellow in a group of dishonest thugs when you ’ re considering whether or not a bribe might make your day go a little smoother .
You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to you giving someone money will make them think , aha , she ’ s got even MORE money I can get from her .
Pulling a large bill out of a stack of bills is just going to make the price of your bribe go up .
It ’ s not just a matter of saying , “ How much will it take for you to make ( desired action ) happen ?
” You ’ ve got to be more subtle than that .
You ’ ve got to “ read @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If you do this incorrectly , you can get yourself in a tremendous amount of trouble .
Again : Don ’ t go bribe people .
I ’ ve never bribed anyone in the US , but things can work a little differently in other countries .
Menu2019s or Women & rsq ... Buy New $ 137.95 The first time I bribed somebody , I felt a little dirty .
I felt like I ’ d just committed a criminal act or something .
Well , technically , I guess I did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enough matter – we ’ re talking about life , death , freedom from incarceration , or not getting your water shut off because you never got the bill – you might need to get past your conscience .
Honest people want to do things honestly .
And that ’ s great – but not everyone you deal with in life is going to be honest or fair in their dealings with you .
You might rebelliously think , “ Screw that !
I didn ’ t do anything wrong !
I ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any money !
” That response always makes me think of this story .
Greg Ellifritz wrote about the latter situation in his book , Choose Adventure .
He was traveling in a taxi through a remote part of Africa and an armed policeman , obviously agitated , stopped their vehicle .
When Greg offered him some money , the guy let them pass .
So instead of trying to wrestle a gun away from a foreign cop , he gave him the equivalent of 25 cents US .
Sure , that crazy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would you rather pay a quarter or risk your life ?
( Here ’ s my review of Greg ’ s book – it should be required reading , even for preppers who never intend to leave the US . )
In many cases , a very nominal amount of money can get you out of a bad situation .
I ’ ve offered a few bribes here and there while traveling , and once I got over my original cringe-y feeling , I don ’ t feel one bit bad about it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ book , when traveling , add a little money to your budget for bribery and consider it part of travel costs .
Some people will make it easy for you to see they ’ re open to bribery One of the biggest questions in your mind when you do this , is whether the person will be receptive to your offer or want to lock you up and throw away the key ?
Some people will make it easy .
They ’ ll hem and haw and say stuff like , “ It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be very difficult ” or “ I know how you feel .
My car broke down recently , and the repair is costly .
Nobody likes surprise expenses.
” They don ’ t usually come right out and ask you for it , but they ’ ll make it evident that for the right price , the cogs in the machine might move .
King Will GLORY Womens ... Buy New $ 19.99 On the other hand , some will flat out try and extort you .
This is common in third world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your vehicle and leave you on the side of the road because you ’ re missing some kind of permit that doesn ’ t even exist .
It is infuriating , but your options are to either pay the bribe , let them impound your vehicle , or know someone you can call who will get you out of trouble .
I was in the car with my mechanic in Mexico when he got pulled over for not wearing his seatbelt .
He calmly made a phone call , spoke in rapid-fire Spanish @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and handed the phone to the officer .
It turned out my mechanic had gone to school with the chief of police , and they were still close friends .
We were on our way in minutes .
The extortion bribes are infuriating , and the situation determines my response .
Am I in the middle of nowhere with a couple of hostile cops threatening me ?
Am I right downtown , with people all around whose attention I could get if I made a scene ?
If I can do so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ practice to refuse to pay extortion bribes because that rewards bad behavior .
I generally ask for a lawyer or a judge ( it ’ s different depending on what country you ’ re in ) , and the difficulty magically disappears .
I make every effort to follow the local laws to the letter to keep myself out of this situation , but it doesn ’ t always matter .
With people like this , there ’ s still some “ fee ” or “ toll ” or “ permit ” that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not encourage tourists ’ mistreatment , but I ’ m going to choose the safest option if I ’ m put in this scenario .
When offering a bribe , the wording you use is extremely important .
Suppose you ’ ve found that one honest guy in a corrupt group , you want to be able to brush aside your offer as definitely-not-a-bribe-of-course .
If you ’ re not having this conversation in your first language , you will want to be even more careful lest you insult someone ’ s mother @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offering a bribe , you want to be very careful to do it outside of the earshot of others .
Figure out who is involved in the situation and has the power to make it go your way , and then try to get him aside so you can find your moment .
You don ’ t want to say , “ What will it cost to make this all go away ?
Subtlety is of crucial importance .
All of the suggestions that follow have some plausible deniability built into them .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a bribe that doesn ’ t really sound like a bribe , but the person you ’ re bribing will know it ’ s a bribe .

” • None “ You ’ ve come all this way for no reason .
Thank you for being so considerate .

Thus , I hadn ’ t paid the bill . )

“ How much is the fine ?

” These are both good ways to get an idea of the amount they want .
Some will shoot for the moon , and you ’ ll need to counter it .
Others will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Treat it like a private , quiet , and respectful business transaction because , in many places , that ’ s precisely what it is .
Bribery is a way of life .
Now above , most of what we talked about was making things run a little more smoothly , getting out of tickets in foreign countries , and small procedural bribes .

Some familiarity with the fine art @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kind of negotiation .
Go big or go home if it ’ s one of those situations .
If your very life is dependent on this bribe , don ’ t try to cheap out .
Hopefully , your money will be hidden in various places across your body so that when you pull the cash out of your pockets , you can make it very clear this is every single dime that you have .
Don ’ t think that cash is the only currency , either .

Now, you’ve got to be careful
The first thing you must know is that bribing a public official is not a good idea – in fact, it’s a felony-level lousy idea. It is against the law in the United States of America to bribe cops, judges, politicians, and other public officials. I am not by any stretch of the imagination recommending that you go and bribe somebody.
There are things that can go wrong—lots of them. Don’t read this and dash off on a bribery spree. I encourage you to be a law-abiding citizen and avoid the need for bribes altogether.

Knowing how and when to give a bribe can be a very useful skill
The world is not a perfect place, and stuff happens. Discretion is the key. You don’t want to make it seem like you are adding fuel to your felonious fire. You never know if you are talking to the one extremely honest fellow in a group of dishonest thugs when you’re considering whether or not a bribe might make your day go a little smoother.

I’ve offered a few bribes here and there while traveling, and once I got over my original cringe-y feeling, I don’t feel one bit bad about it. As Greg points out in his book, when traveling, add a little money to your budget for bribery and consider it part of travel costs.
Some people will make it easy for you to see they’re open to bribery
One of the biggest questions in your mind when you do this, is whether the person will be receptive to your offer or want to lock you up and throw away the key?
Some people will make it easy. They’ll hem and haw and say stuff like, “It might be possible, but it would be very difficult” or “I know how you feel. My car broke down recently, and the repair is costly. Nobody likes surprise expenses.” They don’t usually come right out and ask you for it, but they’ll make it evident that for the right price, the cogs in the machine might move.

On the other hand, some will flat out try and extort you. This is common in third world countries where police will threaten to impound your vehicle and leave you on the side of the road because you’re missing some kind of permit that doesn’t even exist. It is infuriating, but your options are to either pay the bribe, let them impound your vehicle, or know someone you can call who will get you out of trouble. I was in the car with my mechanic in Mexico when he got pulled over for not wearing his seatbelt. He calmly made a phone call, spoke in rapid-fire Spanish to the person on the other end, and handed the phone to the officer. It turned out my mechanic had gone to school with the chief of police, and they were still close friends. We were on our way in minutes.
The extortion bribes are infuriating, and the situation determines my response. Am I in the middle of nowhere with a couple of hostile cops threatening me? Am I right downtown, with people all around whose attention I could get if I made a scene? If I can do so safely, it’s my general practice to refuse to pay extortion bribes because that rewards bad behavior. I generally ask for a lawyer or a judge (it’s different depending on what country you’re in), and the difficulty magically disappears. I make every effort to follow the local laws to the letter to keep myself out of this situation, but it doesn’t always matter. With people like this, there’s still some “fee” or “toll” or “permit” that you evaded. I’d rather not encourage tourists’ mistreatment, but I’m going to choose the safest option if I’m put in this scenario.
How to offer a bribe
When offering a bribe, the wording you use is extremely important. Suppose you’ve found that one honest guy in a corrupt group, you want to be able to brush aside your offer as definitely-not-a-bribe-of-course. If you’re not having this conversation in your first language, you will want to be even more careful lest you insult someone’s mother instead of offering them money.
When offering a bribe, you want to be very careful to do it outside of the earshot of others. Figure out who is involved in the situation and has the power to make it go your way, and then try to get him aside so you can find your moment.
You don’t want to say, “What will it cost to make this all go away? Subtlety is of crucial importance. All of the suggestions that follow have some plausible deniability built into them. Here are a few ways to offer a bribe that doesn’t really sound like a bribe, but the person you’re bribing will know it’s a bribe. High Dome Classic Comf...

“Can I pay the fine to you now? I’m afraid I only have cash.”
“You’ve come all this way for no reason. Thank you for being so considerate. The least I can do is offer you some gas money.” (I said this to the guy that was about to cut off my water because I hadn’t received the bill. Thus, I hadn’t paid the bill.)
“Is there a possibility I can take care of this ticket right now? I’m from out of town and don’t want to have to come back and pay it.”
“Could I pay you to watch my car if I park it here?” I’ve done this when seeking parking in a busy town in Mexico in a parking lot for patrons only.
“Do you ever do any kind of consulting work to help people get their paperwork through a little bit faster?” A friend of mine paid a city inspector as a “consultant” to push through some paperwork on a building permit.
“I heard there was a fee I could pay to make X happen.”
“I’m in business too. I’d much rather settle this problem now than later when it will cost me more money. Is there anything we can do right now to fix this?”
I prefer it when they tell me the amount they want so I can counter it if necessary or “gratefully” pay it if the price is reasonable. “How much is the fine?” “What is your rate for this type of consultation?” These are both good ways to get an idea of the amount they want. Some will shoot for the moon, and you’ll need to counter it. Others will shock you by how little they ask.
Treat it like a private, quiet, and respectful business transaction because, in many places, that’s precisely what it is. Bribery is a way of life.
Bribery in survival situations
Now above, most of what we talked about was making things run a little more smoothly, getting out of tickets in foreign countries, and small procedural bribes. But in a survival situation, you might be facing the difference between life or death, escape, or imprisonment. Some familiarity with the fine art of bribery could be helpful in that kind of negotiation.
Go big or go home if it’s one of those situations. If your very life is dependent on this bribe, don’t try to cheap out. Hopefully, your money will be hidden in various places across your body so that when you pull the cash out of your pockets, you can make it very clear this is every single dime that you have.
Don’t think that cash is the only currency, either. I live out of suitcases, so that doesn’t leave a lot of room for sentimental keepsakes. I usually buy a piece of silver or gold jewelry everywhere I go for my souvenir. Doing so means not only do I have something pretty to bring back good memories, but I also have something that could be used as a bribe in an urgent situation.
One of Selco’s pieces of advice about using precious metals when the SHTF is to collect wedding rings from pawnshops and secondhand stores. If you bring out a gold coin, a person would not be unreasonable to think you have other gold coins and that this was just the beginning of their lucky day. But if you pull the wedding ring off your finger, it seems a lot more likely that you do not have a bag of wedding rings in your backpack – even if you do.

COVID-19 has been called the great equalizer, but nothing could be further from the truth. The disease clearly affects certain groups far worse than others, and the countermeasures implemented to quell the outbreak have been a phenomenal boon for wealthy globalists while decimating the livelihood, and perhaps even the will to live, of the average person. As reported by IPS News:1
“According to the latest ILO reports,2 as job losses escalate due to lockdowns, nearly half of the global workforce is at risk of losing livelihoods, access to food and the ability to survive.
The World Economic Forum states that ‘With some 2.6 billion people around the world in some kind of lockdown, we are conducting arguably the largest psychological experiment ever.’3
As governments and corporations tighten political authoritarianism4 and technological surveillance, curtailing privacy and democratic protest, much of humanity is succumbing to anxiety, depression and a sense of powerlessness.”
Pandemics Highlight Pre-Existing Health Inequalities
An ever-growing number of doctors, academics and scientists are now questioning the origin of the virus, the validity of using PCR tests to diagnose “cases,” the usefulness of face masks, the questionable classification of COVID-19 deaths, the suppression of scientifically verified methods of prevention and treatment, and the safety and usefulness of COVID-19 vaccines.
There are clear problems in all of these areas, yet questions and logical thinking have been, and continue to be, met with harsh resistance and denial.
Those leading the charge in terms of pandemic responses — most notably the World Health Organization, media companies and Big Tech — have not been shy about their censoring of counter-narratives, almost without exception. Even military information warfare units are being deployed in the fight against “anti-vaccine propaganda.”5
When it comes to the disease itself, we now know certain comorbidities significantly raise your risk of complications and deaths. Among the top ones are obesity, insulin resistance and vitamin D deficiency.
While these conditions are exceptionally common overall, they’re particularly prevalent in Black and indigenous communities, and when combined with inadequate access to health care, these groups also end up being disproportionally affected by COVID-19. As noted by IPS News:6
“The disproportionately higher rates of COVID deaths among American Indians and Alaska Natives,7 for example, are due to higher rates of obesity, diabetes, asthma and heart disease than among more privileged U.S. communities.”
Research8 suggests even mild obesity can influence COVID-19 severity, raising the risk of respiratory failure by 2.5 times and the risk of needing intensive care by nearly five times. Inflammation triggered by obesity is also thought to be responsible for the threefold greater risk of pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs) seen in obese COVID-19 patients.9,10
Certain groups — particularly the elderly and those with darker skin — are also far more prone to the illness due to the fact that they’re also at highest risk for vitamin D deficiency.
COVID-19, the Great Inequity
While the media and political and economic institutions claim the pandemic narrative is based on scientific consensus, this clearly isn’t the case. There’s no evidence supporting universal mask use, for example, and there’s even less scientific support for lockdowns — a strategy based on a high school project that won third place.11
James Corbett of the Corbett Report discusses this shocking revelation in the video above. As it turns out, the young girl’s father is Robert Glass, a senior researcher at Sandia National Laboratories, who worked on pandemic emergency response plans for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
His proposal to shut down schools and businesses in the case of an influenza pandemic was published in the November 2006 issue of the journal of Emerging Infectious Diseases.12
Now, as many small businesses are failing thanks to months-long shutdowns and employment opportunities look bleak in many areas, government leaders around the world are suddenly joining the World Economic Forum in calling for a Great Reset of the economy.13
This hardly seems like a random coincidence. This plan, which has been brewing for decades, will further empower and enrich wealthy, unelected powerbrokers while enslaving and impoverishing everyone else.
COVID-19 Is a Class War
The fact that the pandemic has been used to shift wealth from the poor and middle class to the ultra-wealthy is clear for anyone to see at this point. As reported by IPS News:14
“The combined wealth of U.S. billionaires ‘surpassed $1 trillion in gains since March 2020 and the beginning of the pandemic,’ according to a study by the Institute for Policy Studies.15”
While 45.5 million Americans filed for unemployment, 29 new billionaires were created, the Institute for Policy Studies reported in June 2020,16 and the five richest men in the U.S. — Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett and Larry Ellison — grew their wealth by a total of $101.7 billion (26%), between March 18 and June 17, 2020, alone.17
The disparity in treatment of big box stores and small retailers is striking — and illogical. Why is it safe to shop with hundreds of people in a Walmart but unsafe to shop in a store that can only hold a fraction of that?
Pandemic profiteers include big tech companies like Zoom and Skype, along with some of the largest retailers. Walmart and Target report record sales this year.18 And no wonder, when they’ve frequently been the only places that haven’t been shut down. Online retailers like Amazon19 and Wayfair20 are also boasting record revenues.
The disparity in treatment of big box stores and small retailers is striking — and illogical. Why is it safe to shop with hundreds of people in a Walmart but unsafe to shop in a store that can only hold a fraction of that? Why has the largest retailers been allowed to remain open while mom and pop shops have been forcibly shut down? It makes no sense, yet the targeted destruction of small businesses continues. As noted by IPS News:21
“The COVID pandemic has not been the ‘Great Equalizer’ as suggested by the likes of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and members of the World Economic Forum. Rather, it has exacerbated existing inequalities along gender, race and economic class divides across the world.22”
Hypocrisy Abounds
That the COVID-19 pandemic is a form of class war is also evident in the way rules are enforced. While citizens are told what to do, those who lay down the rules repeatedly break them. It’s “rules for thee, not for me.”
In the eight-minute video above, YouTuber Joey B. Toonz highlights the hypocrisy of government officials who restrict public gatherings but keep a different set of rules for themselves.
From telling people they have to wear masks between bites to closing down indoor gatherings at dining establishments and small businesses across the country, the hypocrisy of different states’ governors is blatant.

White House news reporters don’t get off the hook, either, as the video shows how they, too, have one standard for the president and the public and a different set of rules when they think the cameras are off.
The hypocrisy of the ruling class makes the restrictions all the more difficult to bear, as it’s becoming increasingly clear that there really are two sets of rules, and they’re based on class.
There’s the haves and the have nots, and those with meager finances are also disproportionally robbed of their freedom to socialize and travel, which is just as devastating as not being allowed to make a living. The video highlights the case of an elderly woman who asked to be euthanized because she just couldn’t take the restrictions any longer.
The Global Restructuring
At this point, it should be obvious for anyone paying attention that the pandemic is being prolonged and exaggerated for a reason, and it’s not because there’s concern for life. Quite the contrary.
It’s a ploy to quite literally enslave the global population within a digital surveillance system23 that is not of our own choosing — a system so unnatural and inhumane that no rational population would ever voluntarily go down that road.
“The ‘Great Reset’ seeks to … expand corporate control of natural resources and state surveillance of individuals,” IPS News writes.24 “In the post-pandemic ‘Great Reset,’ there would not be much life left outside the technological-corporate nexus dominated by monolithic agribusiness, pharmaceutical, communication, defense and other inter-connected corporations, and the governments and media serving them.
The proponents of the ‘Great Reset’25 envisage a Brave New World where, ‘You will own nothing. And you will be happy. Whatever you want, you will rent, and it will be delivered by drones.’
But it is more likely that this elite-led revolution will make the vast majority of humanity a powerless appendage of technology with little consciousness and meaning in their lives.”
It should also be clear that most if not all pandemic restrictions to freedom are meant to become permanent. Indeed, they’re bound to become even more restrictive and invasive once plans for health passports, an all-digital currency, standard basic income, debt forgiveness in return for relinquishing all future rights to private ownership, digital IDs and a social scoring system are fully implemented.
If this is the first time you’re hearing any of this, be sure to review “Who Pressed the Great Reset Button?” “The Pressing Dangers of Technocracy,” “The Global Takeover Is Underway” and “Coronavirus Fraud Scandal — The Biggest Fight Has Just Begun.”
Now’s the Time to Fight Back
It’s important to understand that now’s the time to fight back: to resist any and all unconstitutional edicts. Once the “new world order” is in place, you will no longer be able to do a thing about it.
Your life — your health, educational and work opportunities, your finances and your very identity — will be so meshed with the automated technological infrastructure that any attempt to break free will result in you being locked out or erased from the system, leaving you with no ability to learn, work, travel or engage in commerce.
It sounds far-fetched, I know, but when you follow the technocratic plan to its inevitable end, that’s basically what you end up with. The warning signs are all around us, if we’re willing to see them for what they actually are. The only question now is whether enough people are willing to resist it to make a difference.
We must keep pushing for transparency and truth. We must insist on medical freedom and personal liberty. Do not allow yourself to be bullied into silence.
And, even more importantly, release the fear. It’s a fearful public that allows the technocratic elite to dictate the future and rip away our personal freedoms. It’s fear that allows tyranny to flourish. Really look at the data, so you can see for yourself that panic is unwarranted.
For practical strategies on how you can respond in light of all the tyrannical interventions that have been imposed on us, check out James Corbett’s interview with Howard Lichtman below. I also recommend reading “Constitutional Sheriffs Are the Difference Between Freedom and Tyranny.”

Why is zinc helpful if this is a vitamin B1 deficiency ?
This author has widely touted zinc ( particularly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treatment .

These infections may be misleading pseudo-infections as manifestations of B1 deficiency , not true infections .

A leading authority says modern medicine’s denial that there are present-day dietary deficiency diseases in societies where there is food security has led to the plague called COVID-19. It is “high calorie malnutrition” that is killing Americans, not a coronavirus.
The question of whether the COVID-19 coronavirus actually exists is questioned by other investigators.
If the symptoms now being panned as COVID-19 really emanate from a dietary deficiency, all vaccines will predictably fail.
Since the inception of the COVID-19 lockdown measures, human populations have been suffering with an anxiety-induced syndrome that has increased an already prevalent B-vitamin deficiency, a nutrient that controls the autonomic nervous system that unconsciously controls heartbeat, breathing, digestion, and all the senses of smell, taste, touch and hearing.

Buy New $44.80 ($0.50 / Count) (as of 08:12 UTC - Details) The fear-evoking idea that a mutated cold-virus against which humanity had no immunity towards could swiftly induce breathlessness and take someone’s life away is something human populations of the world certainly can’t get off their minds. With no proven treatments or vaccines, the world is gripped with fear. The Grim Reaper delivers death even among seemingly healthy individuals. Who will be next?
But erase the COVID-19 case and death scoreboard and the fear that accompanies it. It’s all a ruse, a mass deception. Yes, people are dying, but not from a mutated coronavirus, or any coronavirus for that matter. The “co-morbidities” that accompany COVID-19, diabetes, heart disease, blood coagulation, kidney failure, are more likely the result of a change in dietary practices during lockdown than any imagined coronavirus.
We’re killing ourselves by eating and drinking ourselves to death
The lockdowns were predicted to generate 29-times more deaths than from the coronavirus itself. Why?
What is causing many adults to die of breathlessness in hospital ICUs?
Results from a recent survey conducted by OnePoll market research, on behalf of a canned drinking water brand that adds hops and other “adaptogens” as a healthy alternative to beer, reveals COVID-19 is a lifestyle disease that brings on an anxiety-induced dietary and beverage changes. The polling organization doesn’t realize all these changes in dietary practices block an essential nutrient needed for nervous system control.
The OnePoll survey reveals Americans are drinking more alcohol at home, consuming more “comfort foods” and swallowing down more coffee and tea to deal with fatigue and sleep loss.
The survey reveals 46% of those Americans working at home pour themselves an alcoholic drink during the workday; 53% of Americans are drinking more frequently during the lockdown. Of particular interest is a survey which shows 52% of respondents felt a need to drink while watching the news on TV.
According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse & Alcoholism, there are 14.1 million American adults who have “alcohol use disorder.” Vitamin B1 deficiency is common among alcohol imbibers.
Two-in-five say also say they have been snacking more, and consuming “comfort foods.” That translates to “carbohydrates,” bread/pastry, rice, pasta, cereal.

What started in Wuhan, China is not the COVID-19 of today
The COVID-19 coronavirus that started this worldwide pandemic in late 2019 is not the COVID-19 syndrome the public faces today during the lockdown era of the disease.
Bear with me a moment as I digress back to the start of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak. COVID-19 may have initially been panned as emanating from a mutated virus in Wuhan, China, where health authorities had been battling an outbreak of tuberculosis two years prior to COVID-19.
TB is, like COVID-19, a seasonal infectious lung disease, not caused by a virus but rather a mycobacterium.
TB could easily have been re-categorized as a COVID-19 coronavirus infection. Modena, Italy and New York City, two other COVID-19 geographic hotspots, were also plagued by prior TB outbreaks.
The Bacillus Calmette Guerin TB vaccine protects against COVID-19 infection, which also suggests TB cases were simply re-categorized as COVID-19. Oddly, nobody has raised suspicion that COVID-19 may simply be TB.
And what happened to Wuhan? There are barely any new cases in that city of 11 million people, while the US reports all-time high death counts.
Then came the lockdowns and what appeared to be a second round of COVID-19 that was in fact caused by the lockdowns themselves.
Loss of nervous system control
Vitamin B1 controls the autonomic nervous system – – heartbeat, breathing, digestion and elimination, and all the senses (touch/pain, smell, taste, hearing, vision). The chronic symptoms that characterize “long-haul” COVID – – headaches, crushing fatigue, loss of memory, weak muscles, are not associated with a viral infection but are common symptoms of beriberi (vitamin B1 deficiency).
Beriberi (vitamin B1 deficiency) is known as the great masquerader – it fools the best physicians. Over 120 years ago a vitamin B1 deficiency fooled doctors it was a viral disease because this dietary deficiency can cause the hypothalamus in the brain to produce a fever along with vomiting and diarrhea, symptoms commonly associated with viral infections.

The unconscious control of heart rate and breathing is lost. In this form of respiratory failure, the patient becomes breathless and simply dies as they can no longer stay awake and willfully control their breathing. Death is not caused by a so-called “cytokine storm” in the lungs of COVID-19-infected patients. It’s a nervous system problem, not an infection.
Why is zinc helpful if this is a vitamin B1 deficiency?
This author has widely touted zinc (particularly zinc lozenges) for COVID-19 prevention and treatment. But if COVID-19 symptoms are really being caused by a vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency and not an infectious viral disease, then why is zinc having a positive effect on the course of this vitamin-deficiency disease?
First, severe infections are common among thiamine-B1 deficient patients. These infections may be misleading pseudo-infections as manifestations of B1 deficiency, not true infections.
Remarkably, we find that zinc enhances the uptake of thiamine (vitamin B1) within cells.
Acute flaccid paralysis
There was another idiopathic (unexplained) paralytic nerve disease being reported throughout the US prior to the COVID-19 outbreak. It is called Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP), characterized by rapid onset of weakness of lower motor nerve cells (legs), with accompanying weakness of the respiratory and pharyngeal (swallowing) muscles, progressing to maximum severity within several days to weeks.
Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is believed to be caused by an infection with a type of virus known as an enterovirus. Respiratory illnesses and fever from enteroviruses are common — especially in children. Most people recover. It’s not clear why some people with an enterovirus infection develop acute flaccid myelitis.
From 2015 through 2017, 43 states reported 305 clinical cases. The CDC confirmed 193 pediatric AFM cases from 41 states, with most cases (143, 74%) reported in 2016 Klaire Labs Benfotiami... Buy New $24.99 ($0.42 / Count) (as of 08:12 UTC - Details)

Acute flaccid paralysis is categorized as beriberi in Asia
Researchers in Asia call attention to patients who have similar symptoms ranging from weight loss, recurrent vomiting, profound weakness, anorexia, vocal cord dysfunction, side-to-side eye movements, mental confusion, who had a history of alcohol misuse that were successfully treated with thiamine vitamin B1. Other researchers report severe flaccid paralysis is linked to thiamine deficiency. Modern medicine, steeped in its high technology, cannot diagnose a simple dietary deficiency disease like beriberi.
