In an interview with SGT Report, Doug Casey explains that we’re in the midst of the “greater depression” and the real chaos, both societal and economic, is dead ahead. If we think things are bad now, just wait until after the election, because “it doesn’t matter who wins, the dollar is going to be destroyed!”
Most of our readers already understand the dollar is being destroyed and it’s being done on purpose by the Federal Reserve to bring on their new fully centralized, unbacked, digital dollar, which will be a system of complete control and enslavement. When the dollar finally falls for good, things will get so chaotic, it’ll be unimaginable. Casey says we’ll see financial chaos, economic chaos, and societal chaos.
This is not a matter of if the dollar will crash, but a matter of when, it won’t make any difference who is chosen to be the next banker puppet (president) when that finally happens.
Casey says that gold is still one of the best ways to protect your wealth. Preparedness will help you get through the chaos of a destroyed dollar. Most people won’t know what’s coming, but those who have precious metals will have a better chance of getting through. Silver is a “high tech industrial element” and could end up being in high demand. Casey predicts silver will of over $50 per ounce.
These next few years are going to be chaotic. But you can try to become as wealthy as you can to insulate yourself from the chaos. Casey says old and silver are the best way to do that.
SGT Report asks Casey about the democrats destroying the dollar and Donald Trump swooping in as a savior and returning us to sound money. Casey says: “Well, I wouldn’t plan my life around Trump doing anything that’s terribly intelligent economically, although I very much appreciate his efforts to deregulate the economy and fighting against the deep state.” Casey then says he doesn’t necessarily think Trump will win.
As we’ve stated before, presidents are chosen, and if Trump can give the Federal Reserve what they want, and as long as he won’t stand in the way of their destruction of the current system as we know it, he will be reelected. The economy is going to get much worse by the time the election comes, and that will weigh heavily on voters.
Both sides will be cheating, and “I’d gear up for stormy weather,” says Casey of these times leading up to the election.

Buy Lots Of Food And Store It Some Place Safe, Because Very Difficult Times Are Approaching
I’m just going to be very blunt with you. Things have already gotten quite crazy, but they are going to get even crazier. Global food supplies have already gotten tight, but they are going to get even tighter. When even the UN starts using the word “biblical” to describe the famine that the world is facing, that is a sign that the hour is very late. Thankfully, we are not facing famine in the short-term here in the United States, but “temporary shortages” of certain items have already been popping up, and food prices are aggressively shooting higher. Earlier today my wife stopped by the grocery store to pick up a couple of things, and one particular item that used to cost about 12 dollars was now 20 dollars instead. But thanks to the Federal Reserve, this is about as low as food prices are going to get. The Fed seems absolutely determined to crank up inflation, and that is going to have very serious implications during the times that are ahead. Right now we have a window of opportunity before the next wave of trouble comes along, and I would greatly encourage you to use this window of opportunity to buy lots of food and store it some place safe.
Some people seem to think that if they have stored up a couple of months worth of food that they will be just fine.
Unfortunately, that is not the reality of what we are facing. The truth is that you should have enough food to feed every single person in your household for an extended period of time, and many of you will need much more than that. Because when things get really crazy, many of the friends, neighbors and extended family members that neglected to prepare will come knocking on your door asking for help.
There are some people that would turn away those friends, neighbors and extended family members, but I couldn’t do that. Yes, they are at fault for refusing to get prepared, but I just couldn’t turn them out into the street.
If you also plan to assist those around you that are in need, that just makes your job even bigger. In the end, there is a limit to what any of us can do, and so we will do what we can with what we have and we will leave the rest to God.
The overwhelming demand that we are witnessing at food banks around the nation right now gives us some clues about what we can expect as economic conditions get even worse. In Alameda County, vehicles are lining up “as early as seven in the morning” just to get a little bit of food from the local food banks…
“They start lining up as early as seven in the morning and this will run for six straight hours” said Altfest. Hundreds of cars slowly snake their way through the parking lot across from the Acura dealership on Interstate 880. Folks from all walks of life driving everything from Toyota’s, BMW’s, to Mercedes, all coming to get food. Folks are grateful for the charity.
When I read that quote from a local CBS news report, it struck me that it sounded almost exactly like what Heidi Baker said when she saw people waiting in line to get food…
And I saw all these people and they had beautiful cars, 4 by 4’s and Lexus, Mercedez, BMW’s, Toyotas. There they were with fancy shiny cars, but they were standing in line.
On the east coast we are seeing similar things happen.
In fact, there was a quarter-mile line at the break of dawn at a food bank in Queens on Saturday…
The line stretched a quarter-mile before the sun was barely up Saturday, snaking around corners like bread lines in the 1930s. But the hungry in Queens are today’s New Yorkers, left jobless by the coronavirus. Until the pandemic struck the city, La Jornada food pantry used to hand out groceries to roughly 1,000 families a week. Now, the figure tops 10,000. And volunteers serve lunch every day to 1,000 — many of them kids with growling stomachs. Across the five boroughs, the hungry number in the hundreds of thousands, the Food Bank of New York estimates.
I found it quite interesting that the New York Post is comparing what is happening now to the “bread lines in the 1930s”.
This is the reality of what we are facing people. So many people are already in desperate need, and this “perfect storm” is just getting started.
In the Richmond, Virginia area things are even worse. According to one recent report, vehicles have been lining up at one food bank “as early as six hours” before it opens…
Every Friday, cars line up as early as six hours before the food bank on Iron Bridge Road opens the drive-thru. At noon, the first 20 cars or so are allowed to park in the parking lot where they wait another three hours. Once 3 p.m. hits, the operation begins with a slew of volunteers working in the warehouse to fill grocery carts with fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, meat, prepared foods and nonperishable items.
Can you imagine sitting in your vehicle for six hours waiting for a food bank to open?
This is how desperate some people in America have already become.
And as I noted at the beginning of this article, the United Nations is using the word “biblical” to describe the famine and starvation that are coming all around the world. The following comes from CNBC…
Famines of “biblical proportions” are becoming a serious risk as the coronavirus crisis threatens to double the number of people nearing starvation, a U.N. body has warned. In projections released Tuesday, the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) predicted that the number of people facing “acute food insecurity” stood to rise to 265 million by the end of this year, up from 135 million in 2019.
I don’t know about you, but I find that warning to be quite sobering.
In a “worst-case scenario”, the UN projects that “about a tenth of the world’s population won’t have enough to eat this year”…
Initial United Nations forecasts show that in a worst-case scenario, about a tenth of the world’s population won’t have enough to eat this year. The impact will go beyond just hunger as millions more are also likely to experience other forms of food insecurity, including not being able to afford healthy diets, which can lead to malnutrition and obesity.
Sadly, even though we have already seen so many crazy things happen in 2020, most Americans are still not prepping.
And so when things really start to unravel in a major way, most of them are going to be short on food and supplies very rapidly.
The other day I was interviewed by Dr. Steve Greene, and we discussed some of the reasons why the troubles that we have experienced so far are just the tip of the iceberg.
So much more is coming, but most people don’t want to hear that.
Most Americans still want to believe that the future is going to be just wonderful, and so they see absolutely no need to prepare for the chaotic times that are approaching.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-09-01--Teachers Unions Support Guillotines, Strikes & Closures Over Children’s Welfare

Americans are sometimes accused of ignorance over history and geography beyond their own shores .
It was no different last week after the Chicago Teachers Union tweeted support for a protest outside Jeff Bezos ’ home , where an effigy was placed in a guillotine .
However , any history teachers among them might have pointed out that the French Revolution ended up turning on its leaders .
The protestors , who were virtue signaling for a $ 30 minimum wage outside the house of a man who reputedly earns $ 4,000 a second , clearly had violence on their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ We are completely frightened by , completely impressed by and completely in support of wherever this is headed .
# solidarity.
” The group describes itself as “ caring , united , democratic ” , but their explicit support for depictions of violence are anathema to wholesome traditional school values .
A perusal of the comments under that tweet would suggest that many members do not share the vitriolic zeal .
Last week Forbes reported that Bezos ’ wealth had surpassed $ 200 billion , following Amazon ’ s bolstered revenues as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Union Local 1 , a collective bargaining body for Chicago ’ s teachers , have also been associated with the “ Black Lives Matter ” protests in the city .
A “ pinned ” tweet states : “ Cancelling the CPD contract and defunding the police , which either the City or Chicago Board of Ed has the authority to do , would free $ 33 million to be reinvested in at least 300 counselors , restorative justice coordinators and social workers for every school in the district.
” In July , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up for the “ safe schools ” plan , which set out various demands to be met before teachers would return to classrooms during Covid conditions .
This group , which calls itself Journeys for Justice Alliance , has campaigned for a moratorium on school privatization , 25,000 sustainable community schools , an end to zero tolerance policies in public education , and an end to standardized tests in schools .
Catholic schools in Chicago announced earlier this month that they would reopen classes with a hybrid model , but the CTU threatened @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in to their demands .
Mayor Lightfoot now says public schools will not open for in-person learning until the presidential election at the earliest .
The Catholic archdiocese has cited a recent survey that suggested a majority of Catholic parents want their schools to reopen with in-person learning .

Across the country , many parents are avoiding a return to public schools and instead enrolling their children in private and parochial schools to get them back in the classroom environment .
Unions such as the CTU now face the prospect of private schools reopening while successfully containing Covid-19 , while public schools remain hampered by union demands .
They have also pushed for an additional hour @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time and professional development during time normally devoted to real-time teaching .
After hailing the remote-schooling condition at the start of the lockdown as a victory , the CTU now wants danger money for teachers who enter an empty classroom , though they have yet to clarify what specific hazards classrooms now present .
The Chicago Teachers ’ Pension Fund report from 2019 lists Amazon Inc as its second biggest domestic equity holding .
It seems bumper profits can soothe political angst under certain circumstances , and while tucked away on page 69 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ others that align themselves with violence and disorder , might take a history lesson from China — where , during the Cultural Revolution , students turned their zeal on the intellectuals and teachers of the day , who faced humiliation and beatings .
By aligning itself with violent protests , the CTU puts itself on a war footing — but it shouldn ’ t forget that its members are on the frontline .
Over in Florida , Governor Ron DeSantis and Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran have been in a legal tussle with teaching @ @ @ @ @ @ @ July 6 emergency order requiring schools to reopen five days a week in August or risk losing state funding .
On Friday last week , as reported in the Orlando Weekly , they were given a boost by a Tallahassee-based appeals court , which suspended a Leon County circuit judge ’ s ruling that said a state mandate for schools to reopen this month amid the pandemic was unconstitutional .
Judge Charles Dodson twice last week sided with the Florida Education Association and the Orange County teachers union in lawsuits challenging Mr. Corcoran @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in-person learning .
The unions had argued that Mr. Corcoran ’ s order violated the Florida Constitution ’ s guarantee of “ safe ” and “ secure ” public schools .
Meanwhile , New York ’ s teacher unions are paving the way for strike action to prevent schools from reopening .
The United Federation of Teachers has told its members that they can vote this week to approve the work action .
It has asked each public school to submit a plan of action this week , which will be put before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ teachers have not been on strike for nearly 50 years , and such action is far from certain .
The posturing will , however , put pressure on Mayor Bill de Blasio to delay the scheduled return to in-person classes on September 10 , something that teachers and principals have been clamoring for .
As data from the Centers for Disease Control increasingly undermines the original death tolls from Covid and its likely impact on health , struggling parents are left to juggle work commitments and homeschooling for their children .
For single @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the table or remote lessons is becoming stark .
The California Supreme Court has asked Governor Gavin Newson to respond to lawsuits , filed by a coalition of parents , private schools , a charter school and the Orange County Board of Education , seeking to enjoin his orders that bar schools opening for in-person learning .
“ By closing the schools of California to in-person learning , he [ Newsom ] is creating havoc for parents and children , ” attorney Robert Tyler told the California Globe .
“ The California Constitution @ @ @ @ @ @ @ education .
Our position is that he is creating an unequal burden on economically disadvantaged families.
” One writ petition filed by a group of private schools says that the policy discriminates against them because they do not receive state funding that makes online learning possible .
It also says that the closure order violates the California constitution and the United States Constitution because of its “ interference with petitioners contractual rights ” .
One union — the American Federation of Teachers ’ super PAC , AFT Solidarity — was planning to pay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Trump during the Republican National Convention .
Fox News allegedly refused to run the ad after raising questions over its accuracy .
The ad alleged that Republican leaders failed to provide educators with enough personal protective equipment and effectively devise a safe re-opening strategy for schools .
Where do this hyper-political agenda and grandstanding leave teachers in its ranks who wish to have a plurality of views ?
Now might be the time to break ranks with unions that seek to capitalize on crisis after crisis to further their sometimes contradictory , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If the latest tweet is a gauge , then targeted hate campaigns against individuals are firmly on the chalkboard .
Parents and students may think this has crossed the line .
Certain types of revolutions have a tendency to turn on their participants .
It ’ s what you might call learning the hard way .

Unions such as the CTU now face the prospect of private schools reopening while successfully containing Covid-19, while public schools remain hampered by union demands.
They have also pushed for an additional hour of every school day for teacher prep time and professional development during time normally devoted to real-time teaching. After hailing the remote-schooling condition at the start of the lockdown as a victory, the CTU now wants danger money for teachers who enter an empty classroom, though they have yet to clarify what specific hazards classrooms now present.
The Chicago Teachers’ Pension Fund report from 2019 lists Amazon Inc as its second biggest domestic equity holding. It seems bumper profits can soothe political angst under certain circumstances, and while tucked away on page 69.
This union, and all the others that align themselves with violence and disorder, might take a history lesson from China — where, during the Cultural Revolution, students turned their zeal on the intellectuals and teachers of the day, who faced humiliation and beatings. By aligning itself with violent protests, the CTU puts itself on a war footing — but it shouldn’t forget that its members are on the frontline.
Over in Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis and Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran have been in a legal tussle with teaching unions over the education commissioner’s July 6 emergency order requiring schools to reopen five days a week in August or risk losing state funding. On Friday last week, as reported in the Orlando Weekly, they were given a boost by a Tallahassee-based appeals court, which suspended a Leon County circuit judge’s ruling that said a state mandate for schools to reopen this month amid the pandemic was unconstitutional.
Judge Charles Dodson twice last week sided with the Florida Education Association and the Orange County teachers union in lawsuits challenging Mr. Corcoran’s order to open schools for in-person learning. The unions had argued that Mr. Corcoran’s order violated the Florida Constitution’s guarantee of “safe” and “secure” public schools.
Meanwhile, New York’s teacher unions are paving the way for strike action to prevent schools from reopening. The United Federation of Teachers has told its members that they can vote this week to approve the work action. It has asked each public school to submit a plan of action this week, which will be put before the delegate assembly.
New York City teachers have not been on strike for nearly 50 years, and such action is far from certain. The posturing will, however, put pressure on Mayor Bill de Blasio to delay the scheduled return to in-person classes on September 10, something that teachers and principals have been clamoring for.
As data from the Centers for Disease Control increasingly undermines the original death tolls from Covid and its likely impact on health, struggling parents are left to juggle work commitments and homeschooling for their children. For single parents, the choice of food on the table or remote lessons is becoming stark.
The California Supreme Court has asked Governor Gavin Newson to respond to lawsuits, filed by a coalition of parents, private schools, a charter school and the Orange County Board of Education, seeking to enjoin his orders that bar schools opening for in-person learning.
“By closing the schools of California to in-person learning, he [Newsom] is creating havoc for parents and children,” attorney Robert Tyler told the California Globe. “The California Constitution requires that all children receive an equal education. Our position is that he is creating an unequal burden on economically disadvantaged families.”
One writ petition filed by a group of private schools says that the policy discriminates against them because they do not receive state funding that makes online learning possible. It also says that the closure order violates the California constitution and the United States Constitution because of its “interference with petitioners contractual rights”.
One union — the American Federation of Teachers’ super PAC, AFT Solidarity — was planning to pay $180,000 to run a commercial criticizing President Trump during the Republican National Convention. Fox News allegedly refused to run the ad after raising questions over its accuracy. The ad alleged that Republican leaders failed to provide educators with enough personal protective equipment and effectively devise a safe re-opening strategy for schools.
Where do this hyper-political agenda and grandstanding leave teachers in its ranks who wish to have a plurality of views? Now might be the time to break ranks with unions that seek to capitalize on crisis after crisis to further their sometimes contradictory, and now disturbing ambitions in Chicago. If the latest tweet is a gauge, then targeted hate campaigns against individuals are firmly on the chalkboard. Parents and students may think this has crossed the line.
Certain types of revolutions have a tendency to turn on their participants. It’s what you might call learning the hard way.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-09-02--CDC & Fauci Confirm COVID-19 Scamdemic Was A Hoax

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has admitted on their website that the entire coronavirus scamdemic was a huge lie and massive mainstream media hoax .
Only 6 % of COVID-19 deaths reported were actually from the virus .
Dr. Anthony Fauci also had some interesting remarks about asymptomatic carriers too .
Fauci said asymptomatic carriers aren ’ t the problem either , and that has never been the case EVER in any epidemic .
( Notice how no one is calling this a pandemic anymore . )
So why all the fear of normal healthy people ?
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In Hawaii , all motorists are now being forced to submit to coronavirus tests if you are on a certain highway .
This is tyranny , folks .
Wak up .
If you have no control what does into your body ( vaccine , nose swab , etc . )
then you are not free , so stop pretending you are .
How much is 6 % ?
Not much in a nation with a population of well over 300 million .
The mainstream media has already started working in overdrive to say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shouldn ’ t be living a life full of fear glued to your TV for the latest fear porn numbers .
The coronavirus that governments shut down the entire globe for was responsible for a mere 9,000 deaths in the United Staes .
All other cases had other comorbidities and contributing causes ( such as car accidents ) : Truth is treason in the empire of lies .
But don ’ t worry .
Trump has the military ready to deliver a vaccine in a “ powerful way ” to all Americans , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lie based on their own numbers .
So the real question is why is Trump pushing this vaccine so hard , so fast , with force from the military , and what the hell is in it ?
This was a scam from the very beginning and unfortunately , far too many Americans fell for it .
Just because this information is out there now , doesn ’ t mean the New World Order will stop .
Wait for something worse .
Brace yourself , because those in power will not be relinquishing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lives and freedom back .
The rest of this year could get rather intense , especially since we ’ ve been promised a horrific election and a “ dark winter .
”

Fauci said asymptomatic carriers aren’t the problem either, and that has never been the case EVER in any epidemic. (Notice how no one is calling this a pandemic anymore.)
“In all of the history of respiratory born viruses of any type, asymptomatic have been the driver of outbreaks. The driver of outbreaks is ALWAYS a symptomatic person. Even IF there’s a RARE asymptomatic person that might transmitan epidemic is NOT driven by asymptomatic carriers.” –Dr. Anthony Fauci, authoritarian leading the coronavirus task force
So why all the fear of normal healthy people? We are living through a totalitarian nightmare. In Hawaii, all motorists are now being forced to submit to coronavirus tests if you are on a certain highway. This is tyranny, folks. Wak up. If you have no control what does into your body (vaccine, nose swab, etc.) then you are not free, so stop pretending you are.

All other cases had other comorbidities and contributing causes (such as car accidents):
Truth is treason in the empire of lies. But don’t worry. Trump has the military ready to deliver a vaccine in a “powerful way” to all Americans, even though this was all a gigantic lie based on their own numbers. So the real question is why is Trump pushing this vaccine so hard, so fast, with force from the military, and what the hell is in it?
This was a scam from the very beginning and unfortunately, far too many Americans fell for it. Just because this information is out there now, doesn’t mean the New World Order will stop. Wait for something worse. Brace yourself, because those in power will not be relinquishing it easily so we can have our lives and freedom back. The rest of this year could get rather intense, especially since we’ve been promised a horrific election and a “dark winter.”

thewashingtonstandard--2020-09-02--Del Bigtree Censored:  “They’re Telling You What Their Agenda Is” (Video)

Del Bigtree the producer of the documentary Vaxxed , recently sat down for an interview with Lior Gantz of the Wealth Research Group .
Bigtree laid out exactly what ’ s in a vaccine , and what will be going into your body , and why this coronavirus scamdemic vaccine is nothing like we ’ ve ever seen before .
Bigtree jumps right in when he explains his history of researching vaccines , more specifically , the MMR ( measles , mumps , rubella ) shot that was shown in studies to give children autism .
Bigtree recounts how he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ) when he was asking for double-blind placebo studies on vaccines that prove they are safe and effective .
Basically , those studies either aren ’ t being done , or they are not showing vaccines to be safe as we ’ ve been told .
On top of all f that , Bigtree says the vaccine manufactures and doctors who administer vaccines have no obligation to ensure you are safe when administering them .
If you have a side effect or are killed by a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not the company that created the vaccine .
If you think that ’ s bad , wait until you hear what ’ s in store for us with this COVID-19 vaccine agenda .
The coronavirus vaccine will not be undergoing phase 3 trials , let alone double-blind placebo studies , and all of the manufacturers have demanded they be protected from the public if they kill or injure anyone with this rushed injectable product .
If you are still under some delusion that this vaccine won ’ t be mandatory , either by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t understand what ’ s going on .
Those in power need you to submit and take the vaccine .
“ It ’ s really an outrageous moment we find ourselves in , ” says Bigtree , summing it all up .
This is a worldwide issue too , says Bigtree .
COVID-19 is bringing in everyone ( adults and children ) into the forced vaccine program .
This should alarm anyone .
If any other human can force something into your body against your will , you are not free .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ World Order .
He ’ s been warning people to wake up for years now .
“ There is going to be something that they use to scare us into an adult vaccine program , ” said Bigtree .
“ You think it ’ s just the COVID-19 vaccine , but you ’ ll have to get the catch-up schedule to catch up with the children ’ s vaccine program , ” which includes 72 doses of vaccines .
Mandatory vaccines have the DNA of other humans ( aborted fetal DNA , worm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them , says Bigtree .
It ’ s time the public is aware of what they are injecting into their children .
Not to mention the aluminum , which is a neurotoxin when ingested , yet we inject it directly into the bloodstream .
So what ’ s the overall goal of the ruling class ?
Bigtree says he doesn ’ t delve into conspiracy theories , but “ let ’ s just take them for their word .
They ’ re telling you what they ’ re agenda is .
When you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our lives will not get back to normal until we have a vaccine , months ago.
’ That ’ s an agenda .
Right there , they just told you the main goal.
” And yet , they ’ ve moved the goalposts from there .
They Moved The Goalposts…AGAIN !
: “ It ’ s Not Over When The Vaccine Arrives ” I still have a few questions Bigtree : what is in the new COVID-19 vaccine ?
Why is THIS vaccine necessary for the entire population ?

Bigtree jumps right in when he explains his history of researching vaccines, more specifically, the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) shot that was shown in studies to give children autism. Bigtree recounts how he started to get pushback fro the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) when he was asking for double-blind placebo studies on vaccines that prove they are safe and effective. Basically, those studies either aren’t being done, or they are not showing vaccines to be safe as we’ve been told.
On top of all f that, Bigtree says the vaccine manufactures and doctors who administer vaccines have no obligation to ensure you are safe when administering them. If you have a side effect or are killed by a vaccine, the taxpayers are liable, not the company that created the vaccine. If you think that’s bad, wait until you hear what’s in store for us with this COVID-19 vaccine agenda.

This is a worldwide issue too, says Bigtree. COVID-19 is bringing in everyone (adults and children) into the forced vaccine program. This should alarm anyone. If any other human can force something into your body against your will, you are not free. But they only need slaves in the New World Order. He’s been warning people to wake up for years now. “There is going to be something that they use to scare us into an adult vaccine program,” said Bigtree. “You think it’s just the COVID-19 vaccine, but you’ll have to get the catch-up schedule to catch up with the children’s vaccine program,” which includes 72 doses of vaccines.
Mandatory vaccines have the DNA of other humans (aborted fetal DNA, worm DNA, cocker spaniel DNA) in them, says Bigtree. It’s time the public is aware of what they are injecting into their children. Not to mention the aluminum, which is a neurotoxin when ingested, yet we inject it directly into the bloodstream.
So what’s the overall goal of the ruling class? Bigtree says he doesn’t delve into conspiracy theories, but “let’s just take them for their word. They’re telling you what they’re agenda is. When you hear them say, long before ‘our lives will not get back to normal until we have a vaccine, months ago.’ That’s an agenda. Right there, they just told you the main goal.”
And yet, they’ve moved the goalposts from there.
They Moved The Goalposts…AGAIN!: “It’s Not Over When The Vaccine Arrives”
I still have a few questions Bigtree: what is in the new COVID-19 vaccine? Why is THIS vaccine necessary for the entire population?

thewashingtonstandard--2020-09-02--Tyranny Down Under:  Video Shows Pregnant Mom Arrested At Home For Facebook Post Promoting Anti-Lock

Tyranny Down Under:  Video Shows Pregnant Mom Arrested At Home For Facebook Post Promoting Anti-Lockdown Protest

In what can only be described as the new brown shirts down under in Australia , a pregnant mother was arrested for simply posting that she was promoting an anti-lockdown protest on Facebook .
This led to not only her arrest for “ incitement ” but also the seizure of her computer property .
The right to protest a criminal government is a God-given right whether you are in the US or not , which it is why it is “ God given.
” The video was posted on Facebook as the team of Nazis came in to arrest the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an ultrasound .
Zoe Buhler , 28 , was handcuffed in her lounge room in front of her children and partner on Wednesday afternoon and charged with incitement .
Several officers entered the house in Miners Rest , Ballarat , northwest of Melbourne , with a search warrant and began reading the young mother her rights .
‘ Excuse me , incitement for what , what on Earth ?
I ’ m in my pyjamas , my two kids are here , ’ she said , clearly confused .
‘ I have an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ m pregnant.
’ Ms Buhler ’ s alleged offending post linked to a since-deleted ‘ Freedom Day Ballarat ’ event she created for 11am on Saturday on Sturt Street .
‘ Anyone from Ballarat please join us in our fight for freedom and human rights !
’ she wrote on Sunday with a link to the event page .
The increasingly distressed mother insisted she wasn ’ t breaking any laws by creating and then promoting the event .
‘ Actually you are , that ’ s why we ’ re arresting you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ replied .
Ms Buhler offered to delete the post as her boyfriend James Timmins tried to mediate while cradling their infant child in his arms .
‘ How about she just doesn ’ t do the event ?
It ’ s not like she ’ s done it , she made a post , ’ he said .
Police were unmoved , telling her : ‘ You ’ ve already committed the offence.
’ Ms Buhler was distressed by this point and crying so much she could barely tell officers that she ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ doing anything wrong ’ in making the online event .
Police said they would seize all electronic devices in the house including those belonging to Mr Timmins and Ms Buhler ’ s sister .
Ms Buhler was charged with later incitement released on bail to face Ballarat Magistrates Court on January 25 next year .
January of next year ?
You have got to be kidding me !
For a Facebook post !
There is no way this is against the law and notice the little tyrant doesn ’ t cite the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in clear violation of the law .
According to Australian law , this woman has the right to assemble as she posted : Right to peaceful assembly and freedom of association Section 16 of the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities ( the Charter ) protects your right to gather for a common purpose or to pursue common goals , such as protesting , gathering or meeting , whether in public or in private .
The Charter applies to public authorities in Victoria , such as state and local government departments and agencies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the government .
According to the same page on human rights for the government of Australia :

In what can only be described as the new brown shirts down under in Australia, a pregnant mother was arrested for simply posting that she was promoting an anti-lockdown protest on Facebook. This led to not only her arrest for “incitement” but also the seizure of her computer property.
The right to protest a criminal government is a God-given right whether you are in the US or not,which it is why it is “God given.”
The video was posted on Facebook as the team of Nazis came in to arrest the pregnant woman who had an appointment for an ultrasound.
https://www.facebook.com/anthony.golle/videos/3390367807649996
The Daily Mail reported:
Zoe Buhler, 28, was handcuffed in her lounge room in front of her children and partner on Wednesday afternoon and charged with incitement.
Several officers entered the house in Miners Rest, Ballarat, northwest of Melbourne, with a search warrant and began reading the young mother her rights.
‘Excuse me, incitement for what, what on Earth? I’m in my pyjamas, my two kids are here,’ she said, clearly confused.
‘I have an ultrasound in an hour because I’m pregnant.’
Ms Buhler’s alleged offending post linked to a since-deleted ‘Freedom Day Ballarat’ event she created for 11am on Saturday on Sturt Street.
‘Anyone from Ballarat please join us in our fight for freedom and human rights!’ she wrote on Sunday with a link to the event page.
The increasingly distressed mother insisted she wasn’t breaking any laws by creating and then promoting the event.
‘Actually you are, that’s why we’re arresting you in relation to incitement,’ police replied.
Ms Buhler offered to delete the post as her boyfriend James Timmins tried to mediate while cradling their infant child in his arms.
‘How about she just doesn’t do the event? It’s not like she’s done it, she made a post,’ he said.
Police were unmoved, telling her: ‘You’ve already committed the offence.’
Ms Buhler was distressed by this point and crying so much she could barely tell officers that she ‘didn’t realise’ she was ‘doing anything wrong’ in making the online event.
Police said they would seize all electronic devices in the house including those belonging to Mr Timmins and Ms Buhler’s sister.
Ms Buhler was charged with later incitement released on bail to face Ballarat Magistrates Court on January 25 next year.
January of next year? You have got to be kidding me! For a Facebook post!
There is no way this is against the law and notice the little tyrant doesn’t cite the law.
The guy arresting her is in clear violation of the law.
According to Australian law, this woman has the right to assemble as she posted:
Right to peaceful assembly and freedom of association
Section 16 of the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities (the Charter) protects your right to gather for a common purpose or to pursue common goals, such as protesting, gathering or meeting, whether in public or in private. The Charter applies to public authorities in Victoria, such as state and local government departments and agencies, and people delivering services on behalf of the government.
According to the same page on human rights for the government of Australia:
How does the law protect me? Democracy relies on people being able to gather peacefully to share their beliefs and opinions. This section of the Charter includes two related rights. The right to peaceful assembly Under the Charter, you have the right to assemble peacefully. Often this right is connected to the idea of protest or demonstration, but it also applies to people gathering for social, cultural, religious and professional purposes. It applies to people meeting in private or in public. The right to freedom of association Under the Charter, you have the right to meet with other people – for example, to form a trade union or similar group – to protect your common interests. This could cover economic, professional, cultural or recreational interests. This right does not automatically allow you to join an established group. Each group has the right to determine its own membership rules.
Can this right be limited in any way? In some circumstances, one person’s right may come into conflict with the right of another person or group. In these circumstances, it can be necessary to limit or restrict these rights. Under section 7(2) of the Charter, rights may be limited in certain circumstances, but it must be reasonable, necessary, justified and proportionate. In certain situations, the right to peaceful assembly and the right to association could be limited to ensure the safety and security of a prison. The right to freedom of association could be limited through the Victorian Parliament passing laws to prevent groups involved in criminal activity from gathering together.
How we can help We can give you information about Victoria’s Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities but the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission does not handle complaints related to the Charter. If you would like more information about the Charter and your rights contact us.

How to make a human rights complaint If you think your human rights have been breached, you should contact the Victorian Ombudsman. If you want to make a complaint about police conduct, contact the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission. The Australian government’s website also protects the following: Right to freedom of expression Section 15 of the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities (the Charter) protects your right to have your own opinion, to seek and receive information, and to express yourself. These rights come with responsibilities – to respect the rights and reputation of others and not risk public safety. The Charter applies to public authorities in Victoria, such as state and local government departments and agencies, and people delivering services on behalf of the government. And what is that exactly? According to the website: How does the law protect me? Being able to form and express your own opinions and express them freely is an important part of your self expression. This section of the Charter protects three related rights. The right to hold an opinion without interference Under the Charter, you have the right to hold an opinion without having anyone interfere with your thoughts or beliefs. The right to freedom of expression Under the Charter, you have the right to express your opinions freely and to seek, receive and share information and ideas. This might be through conversation, but it could also be in writing, in print or through artistic expression. Responsibilities related to freedom of expression The right to freedom of expression brings with it some responsibilities. You must respect the rights and reputation of other people, and the opinions you express must not risk national security, the safety of the Victorian public, or people’s individual morality. Can this right be limited in any way? In some circumstances, one person’s right may come into conflict with the right of another person or group. In these circumstances, it can be necessary to limit or restrict these rights. Under section 7(2) of the Charter, rights may be limited in certain circumstances, but it must be reasonable, necessary, justified and proportionate. The right to freedom of expression may be limited in some circumstances – for example, to respect the rights and reputation of others or for the protection of national security, public order, public health or public morality.

How to make a human rights complaint If you think your human rights have been breached, you should contact the Victorian Ombudsman. If you want to make a complaint about police conduct, contact the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission. However, without guns to equal the playing field against tyrants, these poor people are left helpless. The officer in charge not only took the woman’s things, but apparently took the man’s phone, who was filming. He is clearly an agent of the state and should be dealt with for his criminal violation of Australian law against this family. I suggest that any and all Australians who can be at the place she posted and time, arrive as armed as you can to protest this tyranny. In fact, you should be going to where this woman is held and not let a single officer leave for home till they have freed her and dropped all charges against her.

WND reported on the murder:
According to OregonLive, the victim is Aaron “Jay” Danielson. A GoFundMe account has now been set up in the wake of the shooting.
The shooting in the chest took place about 8:45 p.m. Pacific Time Saturday night, and was witnessed live by some watching video feeds.

The victim was a “friend and supporter” of Vancouver, Washington-based Patriot Prayer, group leader Joey Gibson told Oregon Live.

The 48-year-old suspect in the fatal shooting of a Trump supporter in Portland, Oregon, Saturday night was turned in to police by his sister.
Michael Forest Reinoehl, who calls himself “100% Antifa,” is accused of shooting 39-year-old Portland resident Aaron Danielson in the chest after most of the cars in a caravan organized by the group Patriot Prayer had left the city.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-09-02--Violent Crime More Important to Voters Than Black Lives Matter

Real crises end with a solution .
Fake crises end when they become a real crisis .
Black Lives Matter began as a fake crisis that used out-of-context viral video clips to falsely claim that police shootings of innocent black people were a national crisis .
Black Lives Matter became a real crisis when its riots looted , burned , and beat their way across major cities .
A Pew poll at the end of July asked voters which issues were most important to them when deciding who to vote for the big office in 2020 .
59 % of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ important and another 27 % said that it was somewhat important .
Racial and ethnic equality had fallen behind with 52 % of voters calling it very important and another 28 % describing it as somewhat important .
86 % of voters see violent crime as a significant presidential election issue while 80 % are touting Black Lives Matter .
The structural difference here is bigger than that 6 % .
While Black Lives Matter has benefited from a non-stop media push , violent crime has been lightly covered .
How concern about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ issue for voters , slightly behind the coronavirus , would be baffling to anyone who gets their reality from the media .
That 86 % of voters aren ’ t worried about crime based on what they see in the media , but because they feel personally threatened by what ’ s going on in their own neck of the woods .
There is a huge difference between supporting BLM in the abstract or fearing crime personally .
The Pew map of voter concerns shows that the election issues are tilting away from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by concrete issues that affect voters personally .
With the exception of Supreme Court appointments , the top 5 issues , the economy , health care , the pandemic , and violent crime , are about the things that personally worry Americans .
Meanwhile , the abstractions have fallen off the pyramid , with racial and ethnic equality coming in seventh place , economic inequality , a Democrat favorite , falling to ninth , and climate change and abortion coming in in the tenth and eleventh spots .
All of this is bad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ DNC convention approached , the creaky messaging machine had tilted against the riots .
The New York Times and the Washington Post officially ended the embargo by running negative stories about white BLM activists in Seattle , Portland , and Washington D.C. And the media and Democrat officials began openly voicing concerns that the violence would hurt their chances .
“ The rioting has to stop , ” CNN ’ s Don Lemon intoned , while writing a proposed speech for Biden to deliver on the air .
“ As you know and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up in polls , it ’ s showing up in focus groups , it is the only thing right now that ’ s sticking .
And the Democrats are stuck with it.
” They are indeed stuck with it .
Mayor Ted Wheeler of Portland , which has seen some of the worst of the violent rioting , appeared to suggest that nothing was working , and that it “ will ultimately burn itself out.
” The people whose businesses are being burnt out may be less sanguine about the crisis .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Even those national figures who didn ’ t explicitly embrace police defunding , a suicidal and unpopular political strategy , can ’ t push too hard against it because a sizable section of their activist base and media have been radicalized .
Democrat efforts to split the difference , limiting police defunding measures and playing numbers games , only led to more direct harassment with BLM contingents showing up at their homes at night , yelling , screaming , and intimidating elected officials .
The pressure may not result in the actual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ group ’ s activists demand , but they ensure that the Democrats will continue trying to square the circle , split the difference , and avoid a decision .
More crucially , the Democrat donor base is also deeply divided .
Rejecting BLM too sharply would alienate George Soros , whose funding is not only crucial to Democrat election efforts , but whose infrastructure makes up a vital part of the American Left , but embracing it would alienate moderate Democrat donors who want Biden to stop the chaos , not give it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the Democrats are deeply conflicted on this issue .
And the conflicts are undermining Democrat messaging and electability .
The shift from BLM to violent crime is particularly significant when it affects the black voters on whose turnout Democrats depend .
Not only isn ’ t BLM effectively mobilizing black voters ( though it seems to be doing a great job of radicalizing white college students and some of their blue region suburban parents ) but black voters are increasingly putting violent crime ahead of BLM as an urgent issue .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s particularly devastating to the Democrat strategy in this election .
Black urban voters are bearing the brunt of the violent crime and they ’ re not hearing the Dems talking about the issue dominating their neighborhoods and threatening their lives .
The Democrats are caught in a trap of their own making .
They ’ re no longer able to turn off the violence .
And mildly critical media coverage won ’ t do it .
Even if they could get some of the billionaires who have been pouring money into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there ’ s enough money to keep them going until November .
The Democrats barely managed to stop Bernie Sanders from becoming the nominee .
They can ’ t stop national riots by their usual backroom tactics .
And they ’ re too ideologically hagridden to use the police .
Black urban mayors have shown the most willingness to confront the rioters and have the most political immunity for cracking down on criminals , but as long as Portland , Seattle , New York City , and other major cities are controlled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will go on .
And the riots and crime are not only shifting attention away from BLM , but from the pandemic .
People can only focus on one crisis at a time , and the violence and chaos consuming entire cities are becoming more visible than an invisible virus .
If this trend continues , then the Democrats will lose both of the big issues that they expected to propel them to victory .
The Democrats sowed the winds of political terror , they ’ ve begun to reap the whirlwind .

Rejecting BLM too sharply would alienate George Soros, whose funding is not only crucial to Democrat election efforts, but whose infrastructure makes up a vital part of the American Left, but embracing it would alienate moderate Democrat donors who want Biden to stop the chaos, not give it a great bear hug.
Unlike Republicans, the Democrats are deeply conflicted on this issue. And the conflicts are undermining Democrat messaging and electability. The shift from BLM to violent crime is particularly significant when it affects the black voters on whose turnout Democrats depend.

Black urban voters are bearing the brunt of the violent crime and they’re not hearing the Dems talking about the issue dominating their neighborhoods and threatening their lives.
The Democrats are caught in a trap of their own making.
They’re no longer able to turn off the violence. And mildly critical media coverage won’t do it. Even if they could get some of the billionaires who have been pouring money into radical groups to turn off the spigot, there’s enough money to keep them going until November. The Democrats barely managed to stop Bernie Sanders from becoming the nominee. They can’t stop national riots by their usual backroom tactics. And they’re too ideologically hagridden to use the police.
Black urban mayors have shown the most willingness to confront the rioters and have the most political immunity for cracking down on criminals, but as long as Portland, Seattle, New York City, and other major cities are controlled by feckless white progressives, the violence will go on.
And the riots and crime are not only shifting attention away from BLM, but from the pandemic.
People can only focus on one crisis at a time, and the violence and chaos consuming entire cities are becoming more visible than an invisible virus. If this trend continues, then the Democrats will lose both of the big issues that they expected to propel them to victory.
The Democrats sowed the winds of political terror, they’ve begun to reap the whirlwind.
