thewashingtonstandard--2020-09-09--Persecution Of Christians Escalates Dramatically All Over The World

All over the globe , thousands upon thousands of Christians are being ruthlessly killed simply because of what they believe .
But if you only rely on corporate-controlled media sources for your news , you literally never hear about this relentless persecution .
In fact , in this article I don ’ t link to a single mainstream news source .
I had to go to Christian news websites to document what I am about to share with you , because the mainstream media avoids stories such as these like the plague .
Of course if innocent people were being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the various agendas that they are constantly pushing , the mainstream media would be all over this .
It greatly upsets me that the deaths of Christians are treated as if they don ’ t really matter , and we continue to see the global persecution of Christians escalate year after year .
For example , just take a look at what is happening in Ethiopia .
Extremists have been conducting a door-to-door campaign as they search for Christians to kill… For most of you , this is probably the very first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this .
This just shows the power of the mainstream media .
If they don ’ t talk about it , then most of the population will never even know that it exists .
But we should be talking about it , because what is taking place is absolutely horrifying .
In some instances , Christian parents are literally being slaughtered in front of their children… This should be one of the greatest human rights causes of our day , but the silence coming from the mainstream media is deafening .
It is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ effort not to talk about this .
But I refuse to keep silent .
These precious lives matter , and I am going to talk about them .
In South Sudan , 23 Christians were gunned down at a church gathering on July 27th , and the attackers apparently decided that was not enough and so they decided to burn down an entire village… Once again , I ’ ll bet you never heard about this story until now .
On the other side of the continent , thousands of Christians are being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is something that has been going on throughout all of 2020 , and this is another story that I ’ ll bet you have never heard about until this article .
I could keep going through more examples in Africa , but let ’ s switch gears .
In India , religious extremists regularly kill Christians , but those deaths rarely get much attention .
Here are just a few examples… Overall , the number of attacks on Christians in India just seems to keep rising year after year .
In 2019 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ persecution against Christians ” … Sadly , the final number for 2020 will probably be the highest that we have seen so far .
But at least things in India are not as bad as they are in China .
As I have discussed previously , the Chinese government seems to have decided that the elimination of the Christian faith should be official government policy .
Over the past couple of years , countless churches have been raided , countless pastors have been imprisoned , and countless Bibles have been burned .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that do everything that the central government tells them to do are still having their crosses taken down… Thankfully , we aren ’ t facing this level of persecution in the western world yet , but many of our politicians have used the pandemic that we are experiencing to implement very strict restrictions on Christian gatherings .
In fact , the city of Seattle temporarily shut down an entire park the other day in order to prevent a Christian worship event from taking place .
The following comes from Todd Starnes… The organizers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but instead they decided to take it to the streets and rebrand it as a “ worship protest ” … It was wonderful to see such a diverse group of people all worshipping the Lord together under a beautiful blue sky .
But you can be sure that officials in Seattle will be brainstorming ways that they can prevent such a thing from happening again in the future .
Hatred of Christians is rapidly rising all over the globe , and it is going to get a whole lot worse in the years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will almost certainly continue to ignore the persecution that is happening because it definitely does not fit any of the agendas that they are trying to push .
That is extremely unfortunate , because every one of these lives that is being lost is of immense value , and their stories deserve to be told .

All over the globe, thousands upon thousands of Christians are being ruthlessly killed simply because of what they believe. But if you only rely on corporate-controlled media sources for your news, you literally never hear about this relentless persecution. In fact, in this article I don’t link to a single mainstream news source. I had to go to Christian news websites to document what I am about to share with you, because the mainstream media avoids stories such as these like the plague. Of course if innocent people were being systematically butchered for a reason that aligned with the various agendas that they are constantly pushing, the mainstream media would be all over this. It greatly upsets me that the deaths of Christians are treated as if they don’t really matter, and we continue to see the global persecution of Christians escalate year after year.
For example, just take a look at what is happening in Ethiopia. Extremists have been conducting a door-to-door campaign as they search for Christians to kill…
At least 500 Christians have been killed in an ongoing spate of coordinated door-to-door attacks and thousands of traumatized survivors have fled for their lives over the last two months in southern Ethiopia’s Oromia regional state, including its capital Addis Ababa, according to reports.
For most of you, this is probably the very first time that you have ever heard about this.
This just shows the power of the mainstream media. If they don’t talk about it, then most of the population will never even know that it exists.
But we should be talking about it, because what is taking place is absolutely horrifying. In some instances, Christian parents are literally being slaughtered in front of their children…
“The Qeerroo extremists arrived in cars and, armed with guns, machetes, swords and spears, sought out and slaughtered Christians. Children were forced to witness their parents being brutally murdered with machetes,” it added. An Oromo Christian was beheaded after he refused to tear off the thread around his neck, which is worn by many Ethiopian Christians as a sign of their baptism. The attackers told his wife that only those who prostrate before Allah for prayer are considered part of the Oromo community.
This should be one of the greatest human rights causes of our day, but the silence coming from the mainstream media is deafening.
It is almost as if there is a concerted effort not to talk about this.
But I refuse to keep silent. These precious lives matter, and I am going to talk about them.
In South Sudan, 23 Christians were gunned down at a church gathering on July 27th, and the attackers apparently decided that was not enough and so they decided to burn down an entire village…
Meanwhile, in South Sudan, six children who had been taken hostage were among the 23 people killed when unidentified gunmen attacked an Anglican church in Jonglei State on July 27. At least 20 others were wounded. “After killing people in the church, the gunmen went to the homestead village and killed people there,” Bishop Moses Anur Ayom told the Episcopal News Service. “The gunmen burned down the whole village in Makol Chuei.”
Once again, I’ll bet you never heard about this story until now.
On the other side of the continent, thousands of Christians are being systematically eliminated by extremists in Nigeria…
This year already nearly 2,000 Christians have been mercilessly hacked and shot to death in surprise raids on their villages. These deadly, senseless attacks are often portrayed as ongoing clashes between farmers and herders. Those who follow closely believe they are part of a larger agenda — seemingly supported by government officials and security agencies — to drive Christians off their lands. Nigerian citizens have been disarmed by the government, but somehow, the Militant Fulani herdsmen are armed to the teeth and have no fear of encountering security response or capture.
This is something that has been going on throughout all of 2020, and this is another story that I’ll bet you have never heard about until this article.
I could keep going through more examples in Africa, but let’s switch gears.
In India, religious extremists regularly kill Christians, but those deaths rarely get much attention. Here are just a few examples…
A young woman in the Khunti district of Jharkhand has become the fifth victim in a string of Christians killed in India because of their faith. The woman, 25-year-old Suman Munda, was found dead on July 19 in a deserted place near her home, according to Vatican News. Just one month earlier, on June 24, another Christian, 27-year-old Ramji Munda, was killed outside a village in the Khunti district.
Overall, the number of attacks on Christians in India just seems to keep rising year after year. In 2019, one group recorded “527 cases of persecution against Christians”…
The killing of Christians in India is on the rise. In 2019, Persecution Relief, a group dedicated to helping persecuted Christians in India, recorded 527 cases of persecution against Christians, compared to 447 cases in 2018.
Sadly, the final number for 2020 will probably be the highest that we have seen so far.
But at least things in India are not as bad as they are in China. As I have discussed previously, the Chinese government seems to have decided that the elimination of the Christian faith should be official government policy. Over the past couple of years, countless churches have been raided, countless pastors have been imprisoned, and countless Bibles have been burned.
And even hundreds of pro-government “churches” that do everything that the central government tells them to do are still having their crosses taken down…
Bitter Winter reported on June 9 that crosses had been removed from over 250 state-run Three-Self churches in the eastern province of Anhui in the first four months of the year. According to the newly received information, an additional 656 state-run Protestant venues in the province had lost their crosses during the first half of this year, the total exceeding 900.
Thankfully, we aren’t facing this level of persecution in the western world yet, but many of our politicians have used the pandemic that we are experiencing to implement very strict restrictions on Christian gatherings.
In fact, the city of Seattle temporarily shut down an entire park the other day in order to prevent a Christian worship event from taking place. The following comes from Todd Starnes…
The City of Seattle shut down a local park in advance of a massive gathering of Christian worshippers. Christians were banned from the park, but not Black Lives Matter or Antifa. Let that sink in, folks.
The organizers could have completely canceled the event, but instead they decided to take it to the streets and rebrand it as a “worship protest”…
But instead of canceling the event, the Christians simply relocated the service to the street and called it a “worship protest.” Brilliant!
It was wonderful to see such a diverse group of people all worshipping the Lord together under a beautiful blue sky.

Since many of us spend so much time and energy in our work , it ’ s good to reflect on vocations ( and avocations , that is , voluntary work ) – since we recently celebrated Labor Day .
This pandemic has caused many not to be able to work .

I love this definition of success (and fulfilling work) that comes from columnist Whit Hobbs: “Success is waking up in the morning, whoever you are, wherever you are, however old or young, and bounding out of bed because there’s something out there that you love to do, that you believe in, that you’re good at – something that’s bigger than you are, and you can hardly wait to get at it again today.” (Source: Richard Edler’s 1995 book, “If I Knew Then What I Know Now.”)

Most Americans Think Government Controlled By Democrats & Republicans Is Corrupt – But They’ll Still Vote For Them In November
Editor’s Note: The very thing our Founding Fathers warned us about, a two party system, has become a reality to many in America, though many have awakened from that nightmare and have voted outside those in power. Still, while a new poll shows that most Americans believe that their government, which is dominated by Democrats and Republicans is corrupt, they will continue wasting their votes by voting the way they have for more than 170 years, putting those same two parties in power yet again and hoping for different results.
Americans may finally be waking up, even minimally. A majority of those living in the United States believe that the government is corrupt and unaccountable.
This brings to mind a quote:
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. -John Dahlberg Acton
That means that anytime you hand power to anyone, their morality will decrease as the desire to control others increases. No one cedes power willingly either. If we have learned anything from 2020 it’s that those in power or authority figures are not in it for us, but themselves.
Seventy-three percent of Americans say that elected officials do not face “serious consequences” for misconduct, according to a new Pew Research Center poll. A closer look reveals that a mere 21 percent of those leaning Democrat and 32 percent of Republicans believe there is some basic justice for delinquent politicians. This is not the only issue where US liberals and conservatives almost reach a consensus. Seventy percent of US citizens don’t think the government is “open and transparent,” while 60 percent of both Republicans and Democrats believe that judges aren’t free from the influence of parties and politicians. –RT
However, Americans still think reform is the answer. It’s not. Not allowing others to have power over you is the answer. That means once the system falls (and it will) we replace it with nothing. No more masters and no more slaves. The good news though, is that some Americans are at least finally understanding that corruption is inevitable in every government under any “established rule” over others.
It’s time to figure it out. In fact, it’s past time. We all need to stand up, unite, and stop allowing other people to steal from us, dictate to us, start wars, and use order followers to enforce the “laws.” We don’t need them. They need us. Once we withdraw our consent to be governed (which means controlled) it’s over. We are not their property or their slaves. We all need to realize this quickly.

A Directed Energy Weapon was caught on a live stream going right into a fire in California .
Then there was another shown igniting a fire in Oregon .
Now , there ’ s a black censorship line through the beam .
What is going on ?
!
YouTuber Dutchsinse has discovered something unbelievable while looking at the fires in the Western United States and studying the earthquakes occurring around the world .
When it ’ s first noticed , Dutchsinse called it “ some kind of ray or beam of some kind.

But it is an incredible find .
The video below is a shorter version and has been brightened so the DEW can be seen better .
After this , Dutchsinse discovered another DEW last night .

This one appears to come from the ocean and into a fire that has just started in Oregon .
After this was discovered , Dutchsinse noticed that someone decided to “ censor ” the beam by literally putting a black censorship bar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ energy beam which was beaming down has been BLACKED OUT ON PURPOSE— LOOK CLOSE wth ?

To try to hide it… they tried to match the black of the background but.. because its a live feed grey black its impossible to perfectly match.. so now we have a black line hiding the original beam HAHAHAHAHAAH Look close you ’ ll see it !
the black censorship line over it !
hahahahah epic fail .

Is this just a coincidence this happened two nights in a row ?
Is this just a coincidence these beams go into the fires ?

thewashingtonstandard--2020-09-10--President Dwight Eisenhower’s Words Against Military Industrial Complex Echoed By Trump

In a stunning and brave demonstration that he is just like everybody else in the establishment media , and a reliable company man in the nation ’ s foremost anti-Trump propaganda machine , CNN National Security Reporter Ryan Browne tweeted Monday : “ In an unprecedented public attack by a sitting US president on the leadership of the US military , President Trump has accused US military leaders of seeking to start wars to boost the profits of defense contractors.
” Coming on the heels of the media outrage over the false claim that Trump termed American troops “ losers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a quadrennial spectacle : Leftists who loathe the military claiming to love and respect it .
But Browne ’ s central claim was wrong : Trump ’ s remarks were not unprecedented , and indeed were following one of the most enduringly important statements by a president in modern times .
Trump said at a press conference Monday : “ I ’ m not saying the military ’ s in love with me , but the soldiers are .
The top people in the Pentagon probably aren ’ t , because they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy .
But we ’ re getting out of the endless wars , you know how we ’ re doing.
” In response to Ryan Browne ’ s tweet , many commenters pointed out that Trump ’ s words were hardly “ unprecedented , ” as he was merely echoing an important warning from one of his predecessors , a man who was a general before he was a president : Dwight D. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Presidents : An America-First Look at Who Is Best , Who Is Overrated , and Who Was An Absolute Disaster discusses , in his farewell address on January 17 , 1961 , Eisenhower warned against the “ military-industrial complex ” – a warning that has too often been ignored .
Stung by this criticism , CNN ’ s Browne huffily responded : “ Some folks really ought to read what President Eisenhower actually said in his farewell address .
While they are both critical of the military industrial complex , nowhere does Eisenhower @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shooting wars to boost profits for firms.
” All right .
Let ’ s read what President Eisenhower actually said .
“ We must guard , ” he declared , “ against the acquisition of unwarranted influence , whether sought or unsought , by the military-industrial complex .
The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist .
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes .
We should take nothing for granted .
Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals , so that security and liberty may prosper together.
” If Eisenhower didn ’ t mean that there was a danger that military leaders might engage in shooting wars that did nothing to foster national security but were pursued only for the benefit of industrial firms , what exactly did he mean ?
Take , for example , the American incursion into Somalia in the 1990s .
On December 4 , 1992 , after he had already lost his bid for reelection @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American troops to Somalia .
The stated goal was to protect humanitarian missions in the East African nation , which was torn by civil war .
As Rating America ’ s Presidents details , there was no conceivable American interest in protecting the delivery of humanitarian aid to Somalia .
Somalia had no oil or any other significant products for export .
It did not remotely threaten the U.S. or even nearby countries militarily .
While many Americans like to regard the United States as the “ world ’ s policeman , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has the resources to ensure that every other country has good government , and any country that tried to behave as if it did would soon come to ruin .
But the United States under George H. W. Bush had become the world ’ s strict but benevolent father , intervening wherever it deemed necessary for the good of its children .

Might there have been some profit motive involved in that fruitless and pointless incursion ( and there are many , many others like it in America ’ s recent history ) that might explain why it was undertaken without any conceivable benefit to the nation ?

Trump is , in fact , the first president since Eisenhower to make any significant pushback against these endless wars .
For that , he is to be commended by all rational and fair-minded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CNN .

In a stunning and brave demonstration that he is just like everybody else in the establishment media, and a reliable company man in the nation’s foremost anti-Trump propaganda machine, CNN National Security Reporter Ryan Browne tweeted Monday: “In an unprecedented public attack by a sitting US president on the leadership of the US military, President Trump has accused US military leaders of seeking to start wars to boost the profits of defense contractors.”
Coming on the heels of the media outrage over the false claim that Trump termed American troops “losers,” this is just another manifestation of a quadrennial spectacle: Leftists who loathe the military claiming to love and respect it. But Browne’s central claim was wrong: Trump’s remarks were not unprecedented, and indeed were following one of the most enduringly important statements by a president in modern times.
Trump said at a press conference Monday: “I’m not saying the military’s in love with me, but the soldiers are. The top people in the Pentagon probably aren’t, because they want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy. But we’re getting out of the endless wars, you know how we’re doing.”
In response to Ryan Browne’s tweet, many commenters pointed out that Trump’s words were hardly “unprecedented,” as he was merely echoing an important warning from one of his predecessors, a man who was a general before he was a president: Dwight D. Eisenhower. As Rating America’s Presidents: An America-First Look at Who Is Best, Who Is Overrated, and Who Was An Absolute Disaster discusses, in his farewell address on January 17, 1961, Eisenhower warned against the “military-industrial complex” – a warning that has too often been ignored.
Stung by this criticism, CNN’s Browne huffily responded: “Some folks really ought to read what President Eisenhower actually said in his farewell address. While they are both critical of the military industrial complex, nowhere does Eisenhower actually accuse military leaders of engaging in shooting wars to boost profits for firms.”
All right. Let’s read what President Eisenhower actually said. “We must guard,” he declared, “against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.”
If Eisenhower didn’t mean that there was a danger that military leaders might engage in shooting wars that did nothing to foster national security but were pursued only for the benefit of industrial firms, what exactly did he mean? Take, for example, the American incursion into Somalia in the 1990s. On December 4, 1992, after he had already lost his bid for reelection, Bush announced that he was sending American troops to Somalia. The stated goal was to protect humanitarian missions in the East African nation, which was torn by civil war.
As Rating America’s Presidents details, there was no conceivable American interest in protecting the delivery of humanitarian aid to Somalia. Somalia had no oil or any other significant products for export. It did not remotely threaten the U.S. or even nearby countries militarily. While many Americans like to regard the United States as the “world’s policeman,” neither the U.S. nor any other nation has the resources to ensure that every other country has good government, and any country that tried to behave as if it did would soon come to ruin.
But the United States under George H. W. Bush had become the world’s strict but benevolent father, intervening wherever it deemed necessary for the good of its children. That these interventions could ultimately exhaust America’s resources while accomplishing no good purpose (nearly thirty years after Bush’s intervention, Somalia still has no stable central government that is recognized throughout that country) was not even considered. Might there have been some profit motive involved in that fruitless and pointless incursion (and there are many, many others like it in America’s recent history) that might explain why it was undertaken without any conceivable benefit to the nation? Is that question even improper to ask? Apparently it is, as far as CNN is concerned.
Contrary to CNN’s faux outrage, Trump actually said nothing more than Eisenhower said so many years ago. And in the ensuing decades, with so many undeclared, unfocused, unending wars, Eisenhower’s warning appears prophetic.
Balancing the genuine requirements of the national defense against the temptation to engage in military action for less than noble purposes, including the profit motive, was not done nearly as often as it should have been by Eisenhower’s successors. Trump is, in fact, the first president since Eisenhower to make any significant pushback against these endless wars. For that, he is to be commended by all rational and fair-minded people, which of course leaves out CNN.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-09-10--Former CBS Healthwatch Reporter:  COVID Diagnostic Test Worst Ever Devised

The entire COVID-19 scamdemic has been responsible for a tremendous wealth transfer , incredible amounts of lies , the cost of human life and the loss of liberty around the world .
Indeed , it can be called the crime of the century !
Still , former CBS Healthwatch reporter Jon Rappoport asks , is the COVID-19 diagnostic test the worst test ever devised ?
Well , why wouldn ’ t it be ?
After all , the worst test ever devised would go right along with the biggest scam and crime of the century !
Rappoport , whose Matrix @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the lies of the mainstream media , wrote in his latest email : The need for the COVID test is being hyped to the skies .
More tests automatically create more case numbers .
This allows heads of state and national governments to whipsaw the public : “ We were re-opening the economy , but now , with the escalating case numbers , we ’ ll have to impose lockdowns again… ” This wreaks more havoc and economic destruction , which is the true goal of the COVID operation .
Its cruelty is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ present quotes from official sources about their own diagnostic test for the coronavirus , the PCR .
Spoiler alert : the admitted holes and shortcomings of the test are devastating .
“ Detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus or that 2019-nCoV is the causative agent for clinical symptoms.
” Translation : A positive test doesn ’ t guarantee that the COVID virus is causing infection at all .
And , ahem , reading between the lines , maybe the COVID virus might not be in the patient @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
From the World Health Organization ( WHO ) : “ Coronavirus disease ( COVID-19 ) technical guidance : Laboratory testing for 2019-nCoV in humans ” [ 2 ] : “ Several assays that detect the 2019-nCoV have been and are currently under development , both in-house and commercially .
Some assays may detect only the novel virus [ COVID ] and some may also detect other strains ( e.g .
SARS-CoV ) that are genetically similar.
” Translation : Some PCR tests register positive for types of coronavirus that have nothing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cause nothing more than a cold .
The WHO document adds this little piece : “ Protocol use limitations : Optional clinical specimens for testing has [ have ] not yet been validated.
” Translation : We ’ re not sure which tissue samples to take from the patient , in order for the test to have any validity .
From the FDA : “ LabCorp COVID-19RT-PCR test EUA Summary : ACCELERATED EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION ( EUA ) SUMMARYCOVID-19 RT-PCR TEST ( LABORATORY CORPORATION OF AMERICA ) ” [ 3 ] : “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ generally detectable in respiratory specimens during the acute phase of infection .
Positive results are indicative of the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA ; clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine patient infection status…THE AGENT DETECTED MAY NOT BE THE DEFINITE CAUSE OF DISEASE ( CAPS are mine ) .
Laboratories within the United States and its territories are required to report all positive results to the appropriate public health authorities.
” Translation : On the one hand , we claim the test can “ generally ” detect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a patient .
But we admit that “ the agent detected ” on the test , by which we mean COVID virus , “ may not be the definite cause of disease.
” We also admit that , unless the patient has an acute infection , we can ’ t find COVID .
Therefore , the idea of “ asymptomatic patients ” confirmed by the test is nonsense .
And even though a positive test for COVID may not indicate the actual cause of disease , all positive tests must be reported—and they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Regardless .
“ Regulatory status : For research use only , not for use in diagnostic procedures.
” Translation : Don ’ t use the test result alone to diagnose infection or disease .
Oops .
Translation : Although this company states the test can detect COVID , it also states the test can read FALSELY positive if the patient has one of a number of other irrelevant viruses in his body .
What is the test proving , then ?
Who knows ?
Flip a coin .
Translation : This clearly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ detect how much virus is in the patient ’ s body .
I ’ ll cover how important this admission is in a minute .
“ The detection result of this product is only for clinical reference , and it should not be used as the only evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment .
The clinical management of patients should be considered in combination with their symptoms/signs , history , other laboratory tests and treatment responses .
The detection results should not be directly used as the evidence for clinical diagnosis , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Translation : Don ’ t use the test as the exclusive basis for diagnosing a person with COVID .
And yet , this is exactly what health authorities are doing all over the world .
All positive tests must be reported to government agencies , and they are counted as COVID cases .
Those quotes , from official government and testing sources , torpedo the whole “ scientific ” basis of the test .
And now , I ’ ll add another lethal blow : the test has never been validated properly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Even if we blindly assumed it can detect the presence of the COVID virus in a patient , it doesn ’ t show HOW MUCH virus is in the body .
And that is key , because in order to even begin talking about actual illness in the real world , not in a lab , the patient would need to have millions and millions of the virus actively replicating in his body .
Proponents of the test assert that it CAN measure how much virus is in the body .
To which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it in a way it should have been proved decades ago—but never was .
Take five hundred people and remove tissue samples from them .
The people who take the samples do NOT do the test .
The testers will never know who the patients are and what condition they ’ re in .
The testers run their PCR on the tissue samples .
In each case , they say which virus they found and HOW MUCH of it they found .
“ All right , in patients 24 , 46 , 65 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we found a great deal of virus.
” Now we un-blind those patients .
They should all be sick , because they have so much virus replicating in their bodies .
Are they sick ?
Are they running marathons ?
Let ’ s find out .
This OBVIOUS vetting of the test has never been done .
That is an enormous scandal .
Where are the controlled test results in 500 patients , a thousand patients ?
Nowhere .
The PCR is an unproven fraud .
“ But…but…what about all the sick and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ ve written thousands of words answering that question , in past articles .
A NUMBER of conditions—none involving COVID , and most involving old traditional diseases—are making people sick .
There are other large-scale studies of the PCR test that have never been done .
I ’ ve covered them in detail , in prior articles .
To summarize : a study using a thousand patients , in which their tissue samples are sent to 30 different labs for analysis and verdicts , to see whether the results are uniform from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 1000 patients , in which the results are compared with the results of analysis by electron microcopy .
These large studies—never done .
In other words , the PCR test has never been adequately tested ; it has never been properly validated as a diagnostic tool .
Here , from Canadian researcher David Crowe ’ s bombshell paper , FLAWS IN CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC THEORY , is a key quote about the PCR test [ 5 ] : “ A review of 33 RT-PCR tests for COVID-19 approved under US FDA Emergency Use @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in what the tests were looking for and how they decided whether they had found it .
The tests look for a variety of different segments ( ‘ genes ’ ) of the presumed COVID-19 genome , that only amounts to about 1 % or less of the total genome , which is about 30,000 bases .
Perhaps the worst feature of the tests is how they decide whether the sample is positive if more than one [ ‘ gene ’ ] segment is being looked for .
Some tests look for only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for a positive .
But tests that look for two segments are split between those that require both to be present and those that require either one for a positive .
Some tests look for three segments but only require any two to be present , while one test insisted on all three .
Tests that allow a segment to be undetected raise the question of how it can be said that a virus was detected when an important part of it was missing.
” If the PCR is a uniform standardized test @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Speaking of lack of uniformity in test results , here is a quote from Stephen Bustin , who is considered one of the foremost experts on PCR in the world .
The excerpt is from his 2017 article , “ Talking the talk , but not walking the walk : RT-qPCR as a paradigm for the lack of reproducibility in molecular research ” [ 6 ] : “ Awareness of variability problems associated with PCR has been long-standing , with the first report describing inconsistencies with replicate and serial specimens evaluated within and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The lack of a theoretical understanding of the dynamic processes involved in PCR , especially with respect to the amplification of nonreproducible and/or unexpected amplification products , was also highlighted decades ago .
These observations and the resulting implications are largely disregarded.
” Here is the story of an epic failure of the PCR , right out in the open , for all to see .

” There is more to report about the PCR test , and I have , but I ’ ll make this final point for now : I ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ months , compelling evidence that no one proved the existence of the COVID virus , by proper scientific procedures , in the first place .
So the PCR test would be looking for…what ?
A virus that isn ’ t there ?
And on the back of this test , governments are wrecking economies all over the world , and untold numbers of human lives .
Now , you have to wonder who all has been at the forefront of selling this scam to the people .
Everyone involved , from politicians to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be held accountable for the death and destruction their lies have caused .

The entire COVID-19 scamdemic has been responsible for a tremendous wealth transfer, incredible amounts of lies, the cost of human life and the loss of liberty around the world. Indeed, it can be called the crime of the century! Still, former CBS Healthwatch reporter Jon Rappoport asks, is the COVID-19 diagnostic test the worst test ever devised? Well, why wouldn’t it be? After all, the worst test ever devised would go right along with the biggest scam and crime of the century!
Rappoport, whose Matrix collection has exposed how to see through the lies of the mainstream media, wrote in his latest email:
The need for the COVID test is being hyped to the skies. More tests automatically create more case numbers. This allows heads of state and national governments to whipsaw the public:
“We were re-opening the economy, but now, with the escalating case numbers, we’ll have to impose lockdowns again…”
This wreaks more havoc and economic destruction, which is the true goal of the COVID operation. Its cruelty is boundless.
In this article, I present quotes from official sources about their own diagnostic test for the coronavirus, the PCR.
Spoiler alert: the admitted holes and shortcomings of the test are devastating.
From “CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel” [1]:
“Detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus or that 2019-nCoV is the causative agent for clinical symptoms.”
Translation: A positive test doesn’t guarantee that the COVID virus is causing infection at all. And, ahem, reading between the lines, maybe the COVID virus might not be in the patient’s body at all, either.
From the World Health Organization (WHO): “Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) technical guidance: Laboratory testing for 2019-nCoV in humans” [2]:
“Several assays that detect the 2019-nCoV have been and are currently under development, both in-house and commercially. Some assays may detect only the novel virus [COVID] and some may also detect other strains (e.g. SARS-CoV) that are genetically similar.”
Translation: Some PCR tests register positive for types of coronavirus that have nothing to do with COVID—including plain old coronas that cause nothing more than a cold.
The WHO document adds this little piece: “Protocol use limitations: Optional clinical specimens for testing has [have] not yet been validated.”
Translation: We’re not sure which tissue samples to take from the patient, in order for the test to have any validity.
From the FDA: “LabCorp COVID-19RT-PCR test EUA Summary: ACCELERATED EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION (EUA) SUMMARYCOVID-19 RT-PCR TEST (LABORATORY CORPORATION OF AMERICA)” [3]:
“…The SARS-CoV-2RNA [COVID virus] is generally detectable in respiratory specimens during the acute phase of infection. Positive results are indicative of the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA; clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine patient infection status…THE AGENT DETECTED MAY NOT BE THE DEFINITE CAUSE OF DISEASE (CAPS are mine). Laboratories within the United States and its territories are required to report all positive results to the appropriate public health authorities.”
Translation: On the one hand, we claim the test can “generally” detect the presence of the COVID virus in a patient. But we admit that “the agent detected” on the test, by which we mean COVID virus, “may not be the definite cause of disease.” We also admit that, unless the patient has an acute infection, we can’t find COVID. Therefore, the idea of “asymptomatic patients” confirmed by the test is nonsense. And even though a positive test for COVID may not indicate the actual cause of disease, all positive tests must be reported—and they will be counted as “COVID cases.” Regardless.
From a manufacturer of PCR test kit elements, Creative Diagnostics, “SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Multiplex RT-qPCR Kit” [4]:
“Regulatory status: For research use only, not for use in diagnostic procedures.”
Translation: Don’t use the test result alone to diagnose infection or disease. Oops.
“non-specific interference of Influenza A Virus (H1N1), Influenza B Virus (Yamagata), Respiratory Syncytial Virus (type B), Respiratory Adenovirus (type 3, type 7), Parainfluenza Virus (type 2), Mycoplasma Pneumoniae, Chlamydia Pneumoniae, etc.”
Translation: Although this company states the test can detect COVID, it also states the test can read FALSELY positive if the patient has one of a number of other irrelevant viruses in his body. What is the test proving, then? Who knows? Flip a coin.
“Application Qualitative”
Translation: This clearly means the test is not suited to detect how much virus is in the patient’s body. I’ll cover how important this admission is in a minute.
“The detection result of this product is only for clinical reference, and it should not be used as the only evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment. The clinical management of patients should be considered in combination with their symptoms/signs, history, other laboratory tests and treatment responses. The detection results should not be directly used as the evidence for clinical diagnosis, and are only for the reference of clinicians.”
Translation: Don’t use the test as the exclusive basis for diagnosing a person with COVID. And yet, this is exactly what health authorities are doing all over the world. All positive tests must be reported to government agencies, and they are counted as COVID cases.
Those quotes, from official government and testing sources, torpedo the whole “scientific” basis of the test.
~~~
And now, I’ll add another lethal blow: the test has never been validated properly as an instrument to detect disease. Even if we blindly assumed it can detect the presence of the COVID virus in a patient, it doesn’t show HOW MUCH virus is in the body. And that is key, because in order to even begin talking about actual illness in the real world, not in a lab, the patient would need to have millions and millions of the virus actively replicating in his body.
Proponents of the test assert that it CAN measure how much virus is in the body. To which I reply: prove it.
Prove it in a way it should have been proved decades ago—but never was.
Take five hundred people and remove tissue samples from them. The people who take the samples do NOT do the test. The testers will never know who the patients are and what condition they’re in.
The testers run their PCR on the tissue samples. In each case, they say which virus they found and HOW MUCH of it they found.
“All right, in patients 24, 46, 65, 76, 87, and 93 we found a great deal of virus.”
Now we un-blind those patients. They should all be sick, because they have so much virus replicating in their bodies. Are they sick? Are they running marathons? Let’s find out.
This OBVIOUS vetting of the test has never been done. That is an enormous scandal. Where are the controlled test results in 500 patients, a thousand patients? Nowhere.
The PCR is an unproven fraud.
“But…but…what about all the sick and dying people…why are they sick?”
I’ve written thousands of words answering that question, in past articles. A NUMBER of conditions—none involving COVID, and most involving old traditional diseases—are making people sick.
There are other large-scale studies of the PCR test that have never been done. I’ve covered them in detail, in prior articles. To summarize: a study using a thousand patients, in which their tissue samples are sent to 30 different labs for analysis and verdicts, to see whether the results are uniform from lab to lab; and a study of 1000 patients, in which the results are compared with the results of analysis by electron microcopy.

Here, from Canadian researcher David Crowe’s bombshell paper, FLAWS IN CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC THEORY, is a key quote about the PCR test [5]:

If the PCR is a uniform standardized test, a rabbit is a spaceship.
Speaking of lack of uniformity in test results, here is a quote from Stephen Bustin, who is considered one of the foremost experts on PCR in the world. The excerpt is from his 2017 article, “Talking the talk, but not walking the walk: RT-qPCR as a paradigm for the lack of reproducibility in molecular research” [6]:
“Awareness of variability problems associated with PCR has been long-standing, with the first report describing inconsistencies with replicate and serial specimens evaluated within and between laboratories as early as 1992. The lack of a theoretical understanding of the dynamic processes involved in PCR, especially with respect to the amplification of nonreproducible and/or unexpected amplification products, was also highlighted decades ago. These observations and the resulting implications are largely disregarded.”
Here is the story of an epic failure of the PCR, right out in the open, for all to see. The reference is the NY Times, January 22, 2007, “Faith in Quick Tests Leads to Epidemic That Wasn’t.” [7]
“Dr. Brooke Herndon, an internist at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, could not stop coughing…By late April, other health care workers at the hospital were coughing…”
“For months, nearly everyone involved thought the medical center had had a huge whooping cough outbreak, with extensive ramifications. Nearly 1,000 health care workers at the hospital in Lebanon, N.H., were given a preliminary test and furloughed from work until their results were in; 142 people, including Dr. Herndon, were told they appeared to have the disease; and thousands were given antibiotics and a vaccine for protection. Hospital beds were taken out of commission, including some in intensive care.”
“Then, about eight months later, health care workers were dumbfounded to receive an e-mail message from the hospital administration informing them that the whole thing was a false alarm.”
“Now, as they look back on the episode, epidemiologists and infectious disease specialists say the problem was that they placed too much faith in a quick and highly sensitive molecular test [PCR] that led them astray.”
“There are no national data on pseudo-epidemics caused by an overreliance on such molecular tests, said Dr. Trish M.

The Dartmouth case may have been one of the largest, but it was by no means an exception, she said.”
“Many of the new molecular [PCR] tests are quick but technically demanding, and each laboratory may do them in its own way. These tests, called ‘home brews,’ are not commercially available, and there are no good estimates of their error rates. But their very sensitivity makes false positives likely, and when hundreds or thousands of people are tested, as occurred at Dartmouth, false positives can make it seem like there is an epidemic.”
“‘You’re in a little bit of no man’s land,’ with the new molecular [PCR] tests, said Dr. Mark Perkins, an infectious disease specialist and chief scientific officer at the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics, a nonprofit foundation supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. ‘All bets are off on exact performance’.”

There is more to report about the PCR test, and I have, but I’ll make this final point for now: I’ve presented, over the last several months, compelling evidence that no one proved the existence of the COVID virus, by proper scientific procedures, in the first place. So the PCR test would be looking for…what? A virus that isn’t there?
And on the back of this test, governments are wrecking economies all over the world, and untold numbers of human lives.

In the UK, you can be held for up to 8 months to wait for a court date for doing virtually anything under a new piece of pretended legislation called the Coronavirus Act 2020. However, the chair of the English Democrats, Robin Tilbrook, and others are fighting this tyranny that is taking place in England. He joins me in the episode to talk about what the act does, how it strengthens tyranny and attacks the people’s liberty and what he is doing to stop it.

Thomas Jefferson: The Safest Place Of Ultimate Powers In Society Is Deposited In The People Themselves
Founding father Thomas Jefferson didn’t believe it was in government that the safest place of ultimate powers should be deposited, but in the people themselves. He wrote, “I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education.”
The words come from a letter that Jefferson penned to William Charles Jarvis on September 28, 1820, nearly 200 years ago today.
This is especially poignant considering how those in government, both elected representatives and bureaucrats, have sought to usurp the law and impose tyranny on the people under the guise of keeping them safe from an alleged “invisible enemy.”
In fact, Jefferson would rail against the nanny state of today that claims the American people are too childish to handle the truth and so government must keep it from them and make rash decisions that infringe upon their liberty in the name of “security and safety.” Instead, Jefferson stated that is there were those who “think them not enlightened enough to exercise their controul with a wholsome discretion, the remedy is, not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education.”
To that, I say a hearty, “Amen!”
Here is the text of Jefferson’s letter to Jarvis.
I thank you, Sir, for the copy of your Republican which you have been so kind as to send me; and I should have acknoleged it sooner, but that I am just returned home after a long absence.
I have not yet had time to read it seriously: but in looking over it cursorily I see much in it to approve, and shall be glad if it shall lead our youth to the practice of thinking on such subjects & for themselves. that it will have this tendency may be expected, and for that reason I feel an urgency to note what I deem an error in it, the more requiring notice as your opinion is strengthened by that of many others.
You seem in pages 84. & 148. to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions: a very dangerous doctrine indeed and one which would place us under the despotism of an Oligarchy.
Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so. they have, with others, the same passions for party, for power, and the privileges of their corps.
Their maxim is ‘boni judicis est ampliare jurisdictionim,’ and their power the more dangerous as they are in office for life, and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective countroul.
the constitution has erected no such single tribunal knowing that, to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time & party it’s members would become despots.
It has more wisely made all the departments co-equal and co-sovereign within themselves.
If the legislature fails to pass laws for a census, for paying the judges & other officers of government, for establishing a militia, for naturalisation, as prescribed by the constitution, or if they fail to meet in Congress, the judges cannot issue their Mandamus to them.
If the President fails to supply the place of a judge, to appoint other civil or military officers, to issue requisite commissions, the judges cannot force him.
They can issue their Mandamus or distringas to no Executive or Legislative officer to enforce the fulfilment of their official duties, any more than the President or legislature may issue orders to the judges or their officers.
Betrayed by English example, & unaware, as it should seem, of the controul of our constitution in this particular, they have at times overstepped their limit by undertaking to command executive officers in the discharge of their executive duties.
But the constitution, in keeping the three departments distinct & independant, restrains the authority of the judges to judiciary organs, as it does the executive & legislative, to executive and legislative organs.
The judges certainly have more frequent occasion to act on constitutional questions, because the laws of meum & teum, and of criminal action, forming the great mass of the system of law, constitute their particular department.
When the legislative or executive functionaries act unconstitutionally, they are responsible to the people in their elective capacity.
The exemption of the judges from that is quite dangerous enough.
I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society, but the people themselves: and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their controul with a wholsome discretion, the remedy is, not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education.
This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.
Pardon me, Sir, for this difference of opinion.
My personal interest in such questions is entirely extinct; but not my wishes for the longest possible continuance of our government on its pure principles.
If the three powers maintain their mutual independance on each other, it may last long: but not so if either can assume the authorities of the other.
I ask your candid reconsideration of this subject, and am sufficiently sure you will form a candid conclusion. Accept the assurance of my great respect.
Th: Jefferson
