Time Quality reading with the Real Star constellations – by Katharina Bless
The sun has moved into Sagittarius and the moon is in Pisces. The alignment of the planets and the exact conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter are not such rare happenings! Both, Saturn and Jupiter just moved into the first degree of Capricorn and signalize the “beginning of the end” of the present ‘happenings’ that were stretched out into the Saturn cycle of the last ~ 28 Years. In this time the Dark Ones have been very busy to prepare humanity for the take-over, for what is called the “great reset” and they did every thing they could to make us addicted to the electronic gadgets, internet and mobile phones. Of course, this was planned much, much longer, but it went into it’s final phase 28 years ago, in February 1992 when Saturn entered Capricorn last time.
Since the Jupiter cycle is 12 years, the conjunctions of Saturn/Jupiter happen more often, we can find last one was in the year 2000 in Aries. Aries signalized the beginning of something. And it’s very clear that this was the beginning of the last cycle of (more or less) freedom for humanity, as the controller planned it.
I am sure that the controllers know about Astrology with the real star constellations, it just make sense if you go back into their planning events… It’s very clearly visible if we study the events and their horoscopes! I don’t trust any thing that is supported by main stream media, which also is Western/Tropical astrology! Considering that they don’t want us to know the truth, but have to tell us, its easy to put out the truth in movies and then ridicule those who believe it. Same with Astrology, they support the Western Astrology and ridicule those who work with real star constellations. If you understand how they work, it all becomes crystal clear.
It is very interesting, that this also coincides with my move out of Europe to Thailand (1992, my natal Uranus-Uranus opposition) and this was the start for my work in Asia. During this time I have learned that I am here because in a previous life time (700 years ago) I promised to be here in the time of transition. There were very interesting “co-incidents that brought me to places of that life time to confirm for me that reason. I am very grateful that I’ve been compelled to come to Asia, it was a great shift from Western upbringing to a life in Asia… much to learn and balance!
It is important to look at Great Conjunctions in a bigger time frame that are connected with cycles we don’t oversee in our limited human 4D perspective. Only then they make total sense. We have to shift our perception to a wider time frame and cycle, only if we learn to understand the past and look at historical and prehistorical finds, we can really see the bigger picture. There is so much more to this than most people know. Now the doors are wide open for the truth, the naked truth to come out.
But unfortunately, as Orwell said: The further a society moves away from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.
Today the sun is seemingly “standing still” for 3 days in the Northern hemisphere to move in the “opposite” direction on the 25th and the light each day is a bit longer until the summer solstice. Which is the opposite for the Southern Hemisphere where they celebrate the longest day!
What makes this conjunction very special and significant is that it happens on Solstice. Energies of change are coming together.
This big conjunction is not the trigger for the “big event”, but it shows the time quality that makes things possible. We are in a big cycle where the light comes back to the earth and the frequency of the photon belt (which I mentioned many times before in my readings) is increasing massively. The “Great Conjunction” this time is an event that brings the camouflage of falseness down, the hidden agendas to the surface and truth to the mass consciousness. In the time when Saturn now transits Capricorn, it’s like walking through a forest without leaves, you can see the trees in their true shape, not hidden behind leaves. You can see the “healthy and sick” ones and clearly discriminate!
We are in the time of the big transition into a higher frequency, a light frequency that brings a much better life for humanity. We human beings with a physical body are not able to change very fast, our body needs time to process. Some people have diligently worked on their light consciousness for many years, therefore for them the process I much easier. Those in ignorance and darkness will have to awaken with shocking information, which is happening now. The good thing about this is that humanity really is waking up. We need to start to be responsible for our own lives and not believe that we can blame others. It is what has to happen to shake them to the core from their electro-magnetic paralization! I watched several videos where now humans are on the street, awake and alert.. the fight will not continue much longer and those who have experienced harm have attracted it in on or another way. Also don’t be afraid that the lost businesses will stay lost… things will change very soon!
It is happening now and according to my understanding and information, we will be in the “Golden Age” completely in about 12 years, when Jupiter ends this cycle and and Saturn will move into Aries in 2030 and into Taurus, the sign of manifestation in 2032. This is when all is manifest. In the time to get there it will be a wonderful experience how the world is changing, the skies clear up, the whole medical system moves into real healing, many are able to finally speak out and inventions will be available for the benefit of people and the environment, humans will respect the freedom or self and others and much more. It’s in the process and many can see it already. Shift your focus away from the fear mongering press to the positive outcome, to a world of peace, joy and good health!
Use your free time to day-dream about this new world to manifest your dreams and wishes now!
The time until then is the final transition that is starting now with the “death” of the old and outdated rule of evil forces. The increasing light does not let them exist any longer and there is nowhere to hide.
This solstice is a huge celebration for humanity, if they know or not, and the energy that is coming our way now is not only more powerful, but also the energy to alter out DNA (not the vaccine!!!) to a being of higher frequency ready to enter the Golden Age.
Today the Moon is entering Pisces and will give us a great opportunity to understand this process in meditation. Our human brain which things in a linear way and can’t comprehend multidimensional, is not what we need to comprehend what is happening. It’s good to understand the outline of it because we need our brain to be reassured that every thing is going the “right” way, but only with our heart we can really understand the process.
Now in this time when the sun still is in Sagittarius, now in conjunction with Mercury, the break through is happening in the whole election fraud in the US, the announcement will be made that D.J. Trump won and this is the prerequisite that he can now change the political and financial system for the public too. It is all prepared and ready to go….
Therefore: CELEBRATE …. the light has won already and the world is changing in the next couple month to be a better world!
For this coming holidays I send you love and blessings,
Katharina

**SkyView Astrology (outer circle) works with the real star-constellations. Western/Tropical Astrology (inner circle) has nothing to do with the stars anymore and their 1˚ Aries is 28˚ apart from the true star constellations, the Vedic/Indian system is 6˚ degrees different.
SkyView Astrology does not tell you who you are, but shows the time quality and blueprint/road-map of one’s life. It also is no fortune telling tool and can’t predict the future since you have the innate ability to co-create your life within the curriculum you have chosen for this incarnation. Once you know how, you can change your life and time line.
The Western Astrology has nothing to do with the star constellations, but is a method to show how the sun moves trough the season, which makes a certain sense in the northern hemisphere, but doesn’t make any sense near and below the equator in the southern hemisphere. The sun represents out consciousness and not the “persona” – ego.
For your convenience I list the degrees of the sign and dates when the sun enters the signs:
Aries: 25° / April 18; Taurus: 36° / May 13, Gemini: 28° / June 21; Cancer: 20° / July 20; Leo: 36° / Aug 10; Virgo: 44° / Sept 16; Libra: 23° / Oct 30; Scorpio: 25° / Nov 23; Sagittarius: 33° / Dec 17; Capricorn: 28° / Jan 20; Aquarius: 25° / Feb 16; Pisces: 37° / March 11
The dates of the transition of the sun are based on the guidelines of IAU (International Astronomical Union).

prepareforchange--2020-12-23--Chinese Communist ‘Gospel’ teaches that Jesus killed a woman

hina ’ s Communist government has given the world another example of how socialism is incompatible with Christianity , literally chapter and verse .
A Chinese textbook teaches students that Jesus Christ stoned a woman to death while admitting that He is a sinner .
China ’ s besieged Christian population says the government has twisted the Gospel in an effort to convince young people to obey edicts handed down by the Chinese Communist Party .
The offending passage appears in a textbook intended to teach law and ethics to students in secondary vocational schools .
It reads like a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ John 8:3–11 , up to a point : Religious leaders catch a woman in the act of adultery and bring her to Jesus , asking what should be done with her .
He responds that anyone without sin may cast the first stone .
But then the text takes a dark and jarring turn .
According to a translation posted by Annie Geng in Harper ’ s magazine , the Chinese version of the story concludes : “ When the crowd retreated , Jesus raised a stone and killed the woman , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sinner , but if the law can only be executed by a spotless person , then the law will die.
’ ” The ahistorical embellishment that Jesus Christ stoned a woman to death is visceral and striking .
The depiction of the Prince of Peace as an avenging angel of administration has more in common with the Muslim ahadith than the New Testament .
Yet it served the purposes of Chinese Communist Party , which apparently plagiarized this counterfeit , “ other Gospel ” from a story by Orson Scott Card and passed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whitewash its own guilt .
“ As told to Chinese students , the story teaches that the law and the Party are good and pure , and transcend the impure human beings who happen to represent them .
Even if the officers are corrupted , their decision should be accepted – because , honest or corrupted , they represent the Party , and the Party ’ s law should never be questioned , ” explained Bitter Winter magazine .
The Communists ’ revision teaches that even disreputable or dishonorable people may mete out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up to and including the death penalty .
And even Jesus Christ Himself endorses their actions .
Of greatest eternal importance , the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ led a sinless life before dying for the sins of the human race on the Cross .
In the same chapter of the Bible , Jesus asks , “ Which one of you convicts me of sin ?
” The Apostle Peter wrote that “ Christ also suffered once for sins , the righteous for the unrighteous , that He might bring us to God.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ represents another facet of the Chinese government ’ s “ sinicization ” of religion , which would force priests and pastors to interpret “ religious thought , doctrines , and teachings in a way that conforms with ” the CCP ’ s party line .
To this end , Chinese Communist officials have oppressed true Christian leaders , replaced the Ten Commandments with posters containing socialist propaganda , erased the First Commandment to “ have no other gods , ” and ordered believers to remove pictures of Jesus from their living rooms or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alive .
The latest , government-sponsored sacrilege – which was first reported by UCA News in September – teaches three lessons .
First , secular government inevitably seeks to subordinate the church to its own aims .
This is true , whether the leader is King Henry II , Peter the Great , or Josef Stalin .
Whenever the church and state form an organizational unity , the government will always wield greater earthly strength .
Second , all partisans may find themselves tempted to distort Jesus ’ message – albeit rarely as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attempt to leverage Jesus ’ authority in a matter not addressed by Scripture risks altering His message for our own private aims .
And as quickly as political arguments dissolve personal relationships , deifying politics deforms our Lord into a cosmic bully raining down death , rather than grace , on our enemies .
The cognitive dissonance produced when a Christian reads the Chinese text drives this point home .
The authentic Gospel pericope contains one of the most evocative stories of God ’ s grace .
According to St. Augustine of Hippo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be punished by [ Jesus ] in Whom sin could not be found.
” There was no question of her guilt or Jesus ’ innocence .
Instead , “ He , Who had driven back her adversaries with the tongue of justice , rais [ ed ] the eyes of clemency towards her ” and told her to “ go , and sin no more.
” By doing this , Jesus “ condemned sins , not man.

Third , Christian silence enables this kind of distortion and persecution .
“ We hope that Church authorities will come forward and speak up for the Church , ” an Asian Catholic named Kama told UCA News .

BY REV. BEN JOHNSON •
hina’s Communist government has given the world another example of how socialism is incompatible with Christianity, literally chapter and verse. A Chinese textbook teaches students that Jesus Christ stoned a woman to death while admitting that He is a sinner. China’s besieged Christian population says the government has twisted the Gospel in an effort to convince young people to obey edicts handed down by the Chinese Communist Party.
The offending passage appears in a textbook intended to teach law and ethics to students in secondary vocational schools. It reads like a familiar paraphrase of the Gospel of St. John 8:3–11, up to a point: Religious leaders catch a woman in the act of adultery and bring her to Jesus, asking what should be done with her. He responds that anyone without sin may cast the first stone. But then the text takes a dark and jarring turn.
According to a translation posted by Annie Geng in Harper’s magazine, the Chinese version of the story concludes: “When the crowd retreated, Jesus raised a stone and killed the woman, and said, ‘I am also a sinner, but if the law can only be executed by a spotless person, then the law will die.’”
The ahistorical embellishment that Jesus Christ stoned a woman to death is visceral and striking. The depiction of the Prince of Peace as an avenging angel of administration has more in common with the Muslim ahadith than the New Testament. Yet it served the purposes of Chinese Communist Party, which apparently plagiarized this counterfeit, “other Gospel” from a story by Orson Scott Card and passed it off as Scripture in order to whitewash its own guilt.
“As told to Chinese students, the story teaches that the law and the Party are good and pure, and transcend the impure human beings who happen to represent them. Even if the officers are corrupted, their decision should be accepted – because, honest or corrupted, they represent the Party, and the Party’s law should never be questioned,” explained Bitter Winter magazine.
The Communists’ revision teaches that even disreputable or dishonorable people may mete out punishment. This discipline may encompass everything up to and including the death penalty. And even Jesus Christ Himself endorses their actions.
Of greatest eternal importance, the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ led a sinless life before dying for the sins of the human race on the Cross. In the same chapter of the Bible, Jesus asks, “Which one of you convicts me of sin?” The Apostle Peter wrote that “Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God.”
This alteration of the fourth Gospel represents another facet of the Chinese government’s “sinicization” of religion, which would force priests and pastors to interpret “religious thought, doctrines, and teachings in a way that conforms with” the CCP’s party line. To this end, Chinese Communist officials have oppressed true Christian leaders, replaced the Ten Commandments with posters containing socialist propaganda, erased the First Commandment to “have no other gods,” and ordered believers to remove pictures of Jesus from their living rooms or lose the government pension that keeps them alive.
The latest, government-sponsored sacrilege – which was first reported by UCA News in September – teaches three lessons.
First, secular government inevitably seeks to subordinate the church to its own aims. This is true, whether the leader is King Henry II, Peter the Great, or Josef Stalin. Whenever the church and state form an organizational unity, the government will always wield greater earthly strength.
Second, all partisans may find themselves tempted to distort Jesus’ message – albeit rarely as openly as in this case. Every attempt to leverage Jesus’ authority in a matter not addressed by Scripture risks altering His message for our own private aims. And as quickly as political arguments dissolve personal relationships, deifying politics deforms our Lord into a cosmic bully raining down death, rather than grace, on our enemies.
The cognitive dissonance produced when a Christian reads the Chinese text drives this point home. The authentic Gospel pericope contains one of the most evocative stories of God’s grace. According to St. Augustine of Hippo, the woman actually “expected to be punished by [Jesus] in Whom sin could not be found.” There was no question of her guilt or Jesus’ innocence. Instead, “He, Who had driven back her adversaries with the tongue of justice, rais[ed] the eyes of clemency towards her” and told her to “go, and sin no more.” By doing this, Jesus “condemned sins, not man.” It tears at the heart to see such this divine message of forgiveness and redemption turned into a petition for capital punishment and blind obedience.
Third, Christian silence enables this kind of distortion and persecution. “We hope that Church authorities will come forward and speak up for the Church,” an Asian Catholic named Kama told UCA News. Thus far, her hopes have been misplaced.
“We can no more freely announce the Gospel values” in Hong Kong, said retired Cardinal Joseph Zen. He said his successor, Cardinal John Tong Hon, had been told to quietly acquiesce to Chinese directives “by Vatican authorities.” Aside from this retired prelate, the Roman Catholic Church has greeted China’s months of provocation and suppression with silence.
Indeed, silence would be an improvement on Vatican figures’ statements about Beijing. Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, the chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, declared last February that “right now, those who are best implementing the social doctrine of the Church are the Chinese.”
If Pope Francis won’t speak out against the unjust imprisonment of Jimmy Lai, could he bring himself to denounce the Chinese Communist Party’s portrayal of our Savior as a murderous party apparatchik? Might he at least rein in Sorondo’s extravagant and demonstrably false praise? A pontiff who has declared all applications of the death penalty “inadmissible” might condemn the presentation of a bloodthirsty Jesus in Chinese schools on those grounds alone.
The time has come for a Christian leader to use his global exposure and moral authority to repeat the words of the Apostle Peter, that there must come a time when “we ought to obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:28-29).

prepareforchange--2020-12-23--American Medical Association Approves Hydroxychloroquine

We warned this would happen and now it has .
All year the liberal media has attacked Trump ’ s handling of the coronavirus , especially his endorsement of hydroxycloroquine as an effective treatment .
Now that Democrats believe the election is all over , their disgusting hypocrisy is reaching new heights !
The American Medical Association has amended their recommendations regarding Hydroxychloroquine , reversing their previous warning that a drug in common use for seven decades was somehow now dangerous .
This comes after the 2020 election , of course .
If they admitted the truth about HCQ before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Trump who has been recommending it for months .
The AMA is an organization of political hacks .
Those in charge of the recommendation made a decision to disregard clear science showing the efficacy of HCQ as a treatment , prompting most news organizations and Big Tech companies to suppress calls for its widespread use .
Real doctors had their opinions quashed .
Those who discussed how HCQ could benefit us were often suspended or banned from their platforms .
And worst of all , people likely died because the AMA wanted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ White House .
According to Len Bilén : The American Medical Association ( AMA ) , in a surprising move , has officially rescinded a previous statement against the use of Hydroxychloroquine ( HCQ ) in the treatment of COVID-19 patients , giving physicians the okay to return to utilizing the medication at their discretion .
Previously , the AMA had issued a statement in March that was highly critical of HCQ in regards to its use as a proposed treatment by some physicians in the early stages of COVID-19 .
In addition @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in bulk for “ off-label ” use – HCQ is typically used to treat diseases such as malaria – they also claimed that there was no proof that it was effective in treating COVID , and that its use could be harmful in some instances .
However , on page 18 of a recent AMA memo , issued on October 30 , ( resolution 509 , page 3 ) the organization officially reversed its stance on HCQ , stating that its potential for good currently may supersede the threat of any potentially harmful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have it .

We warned this would happen and now it has. All year the liberal media has attacked Trump’s handling of the coronavirus, especially his endorsement of hydroxycloroquine as an effective treatment.
Now that Democrats believe the election is all over, their disgusting hypocrisy is reaching new heights!
The American Medical Association has amended their recommendations regarding Hydroxychloroquine, reversing their previous warning that a drug in common use for seven decades was somehow now dangerous. This comes after the 2020 election, of course. If they admitted the truth about HCQ before the election, it would have benefitted President Trump who has been recommending it for months.
The AMA is an organization of political hacks. Those in charge of the recommendation made a decision to disregard clear science showing the efficacy of HCQ as a treatment, prompting most news organizations and Big Tech companies to suppress calls for its widespread use. Real doctors had their opinions quashed. Those who discussed how HCQ could benefit us were often suspended or banned from their platforms. And worst of all, people likely died because the AMA wanted to help get their guy into the White House. According to Len Bilén:
The American Medical Association (AMA), in a surprising move, has officially rescinded a previous statement against the use of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in the treatment of COVID-19 patients, giving physicians the okay to return to utilizing the medication at their discretion.
Previously, the AMA had issued a statement in March that was highly critical of HCQ in regards to its use as a proposed treatment by some physicians in the early stages of COVID-19. In addition to discouraging doctors from ordering the medication in bulk for “off-label” use – HCQ is typically used to treat diseases such as malaria – they also claimed that there was no proof that it was effective in treating COVID, and that its use could be harmful in some instances.
However, on page 18 of a recent AMA memo, issued on October 30, (resolution 509, page 3) the organization officially reversed its stance on HCQ, stating that its potential for good currently may supersede the threat of any potentially harmful side effects.
So, there we have it. HCQ could not be approved before the election, because President Trump had recommended it. Meanwhile, with an 8o +% reduced risk of having to be admitted to the hospital if administered with Azithromycine and Zinc as soon as testing positive or symptoms occurred, many (70000+) lives could have been saved.
Many in conservative media have been touting HCQ based on the word of actual doctors and scientists who attest to its usefulness as both a treatment and even as a preventative measure. President Trump took the drug as part for prevention and was reported on by many in the media as causing harm. Fox News host Neil Cavuto went so far as to say based on the President’s recommendations, “people will literally die.”
At NOQ Report, we’ve had our stories about COVID-19 and HCQ censored by Big Tech on multiple occasions. We’ve had articles and videos removed from Facebook and YouTube. And we’re not alone. According to The Gateway Pundit:
For months The Gateway Pundit has been reporting factually on the evidence and studies that proved Hydroxychloroquine was effecting in the treatment of COVID-19. Of course, we were hounded by the left and attacked by fake “fact-checkers” labeling our reports as disputed.
Despite its effectiveness the American Medical Association (AMA) back in March, at the height of the pandemic in the US criticized hydroxychloroquine and its use. Dr. Fauci led the jihad against this effective drug.
Mainstream media and Big Tech warned for months that listening to President Trump and taking HCQ would harm this nation. As it turns out, they were the ones causing harm, and many Americans likely died as a result.

Benjamin Fulford 12/21/20 Report: Winter Solstice marks the Dawn of a New Age, Time to Update our Calendar System

This report is coming out on December 21st , the day of the winter solstice .
Also today we will be seeing a Christmas star in the form of Jupiter and Saturn appearing as one planet .
For this reason , we will step back this week and look at the big picture .
The important thing to realize is we are talking about the dawn of a new age .
The events now taking place in the West are not just about a disputed U.S. presidential election .
They are about the collapse of a regime that has ruled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also mark an existential crisis for monotheism .
When we talk about monotheism , we are talking not about an abstract God but an inbred group that has been carrying out plans that span centuries , while most of us look at most weeks ahead .
The information that follows comes from primary sources including members of the P2 ( now P3 ) freemasons who claim to control the Vatican , members of the Japanese Imperial Family , the Gnostic Illuminati , Asian Secret Societies , the Russian FSB , members of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first thing we need to discuss is how this crisis is affecting Christianity .
Christianity as practiced in the West was cobbled together by Emperor Constantine as a way to force all the various old world religions into one .
Here is an example of what they did .
In the Northern hemisphere , the sun sets further North and the days get shorter until December 21st .
Then , for three days , the sun appears to set in the same place .
Then , on December 25th , the sun visibly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first day of the solar New Year .
This is also where the idea of a God who dies for three days and is reborn comes from .
What the Romans did was substitute Jesus Christ for the Sun God ( the fact is nobody knows the real birth date of Jesus Christ ) .
Remember , the word religion comes from “ re ligare , ” or to rebind , into a fascii , hence the word fascism .
So Christianity at its roots was an ideology created by the Romans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into a single , centralized state , or a fascist New World Order .
The other point about Roman Christianity is that it says , “ Give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar ” and “ turn the other cheek.
” In other words , hand over your money without question and blindly submit to punishment .
Also , if you think that is unfair , don ’ t worry , you will be rewarded in Heaven .
In other words , put up with it until you die .
If you go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rome , the one build by Constantine for his mother , you will see the walls are adorned with military weapons , an all-seeing eye , and three keys , The symbolism is that for a single absolute ruler to control society he/she must control information ( then holy texts , now mass media ) , money and military forces .
You can also see at this church the original skull and bones , indicating an ancient secret service designed to impose and enforce this fascistic rule .
This group is now orchestrating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ known as the “ Covid-19 ” crisis .
This means creating so much misery , chaos , and suffering that the sheeple will submit to centralized , absolute control .
Here is what British Military MI6 intelligence had to say about the situation we are now facing : Let us pause now and look at some of the immediate symptoms of systemic failure , mostly in the U.S .
The situation there is so bleak that about 40 % of individuals , 61 % of restaurants , and 35 % of small businesses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mortgage payment .
https : //www.zerohedge.com/economics/record-61-restaurants-35-small-businesses-cant-pay-december-rent Meanwhile , the controllers of the financial system keep pumping money into their own pockets via the stock market .
“ Never before have we seen indices vertically catapult to new record highs 2 years in a row on the cumulative reality of no earnings growth ( 2019 ) and negative earnings growth in 2020 with a multiple expansion of a near 50 % in just 12 months , ” says veteran analyst Sven Henrich , echoing countless other market experts .
https : //www.zerohedge.com/markets/breaking-point What people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the Fortune 500 companies and 90 % of transnational corporations are controlled by a small group of families run out of Switzerland .
These are the people pumping up the stock market , pushing Covid fascism , and trying the steal the U.S. election for their puppet Joe Biden .
This is no longer the deepest secret they tried so hard to keep either .
For example , the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society “ documented over $ 500 million in grants from Zuckerberg to state and local officials through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nonprofits funded by 5 foundations , ’ they said .
Phil Kline , director of the Amistad Project , likened Mark Zuckerberg ’ s efforts to a ‘ shadow government running our elections , ’ at a press conference on Wednesday .
https : //www.lifesitenews.com/news/election-watchdog-group-exposes-zuckerbergs-500m-dark-money-scheme-to-elect-biden ?
utm_source=top_news & utm_campaign=standard What Kline failed to mention is that Zuckerberg is a grandson of David Rockefeller and that members of this family group are peppered through the top of the Western , especially the U.S. power apparatus .
Hillary Clinton , for example , is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Adolph Hitler and Angela Merkel .
This family group worships Satan even while pretending to be Christian , Jewish , or Muslim , etc .
One of their puppets , Dr. Anthony Fauci declared this week that he believes Christmas celebrations between family members should be canceled , warning that it ’ s “ just one of the things you ’ re going to have to accept as we go through this unprecedented challenging time.
” These people are pushing for a “ great reset , ” through their Davos World Economic Forum @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a “ great reset , ” is an attempt to stay in power through a combination of vaccines containing RFID microchips and a digital wallet you can only access if you have been microchipped .
Even true Christians in the Catholic church are waking up to this .
For example , Archbishop Carlos Vigano recently wrote : “ The purpose of the Great Reset is the imposition of a health dictatorship aiming at the imposition of liberticidal measures , hidden behind tempting promises of ensuring a universal income and canceling individual debt , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Now , another powerful U.S. based Catholic , Cardinal Raymond Burke , has gone further attacking “ secular forces ” who want to “ make us slaves to their godless and murderous agenda ” in a Saturday homily .
What these people need to understand is the group they are fighting has already removed their pope .
Remember Pope Francis was replaced with a hologram for a few weeks .
Now , a new “ Pope , ” who appears mostly as computer graphics is telling everyone to obey , put on their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : //www.jpost.com/international/pope-francis-divert-arms-money-to-fight-covid-19-ensure-vaccine-for-all-652416 The threat is not just to Americans , it is worldwide .
Here is what White Dragon Society sources in South East Asia have to report about the situation in Indonesia .
The government plan is to give the vaccine to the workforce first .
You can be sure they have a fake Donald Trump standing by as well to replace the real one .
These are the sort of events that have caused a majority of Americans to think they have been defeated .
https : //www.studyfinds.org/americas-toughest-year-2020-left-people-feeling-defeated/ This is far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the North are joining with U.S. Patriots and the Pentagon in a major counter-attack .
Take note of the following text please because it is a call to arms against the slave regime of Manchurian candidate Justin Castro and his fellow Satanists : “ JUDICIALLY NOTICED UNDER PROVISIONS OF CANADA ’ S CONSTITUTION 1867-1982 PUBLISHED BY THE FEDERAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BANK Whereas it has been judicially noticed and published by the Minister of Justice on the following address : http : //laws-lois.justice.gc.ca that Business Development Bank of Canada is continued as a body @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Canada .

This applies to all of Canada from this day forth.

https : //edition.cnn.com/2020/12/19/politics/trump-oval-office-meeting-special-counsel-martial-law/index.html We are hoping Trump is playing 5D chess by allowing the vaccines to go forward and is waiting for the entire Satanic control network in the U.S. to expose itself before going on the attack .
However , no matter what , the military will be forced to act because the alternative will be a mass slaughter of Americans .
Western people also need to be reassured that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Russia , China , Japan , Africa , and much of the world .

“The general instability in geo-politics – we see the world as the most unstable in many hundreds of years – indicates the old systems of global governance are collapsing and aggressive power grabs are filling the voids. That and the fact trapped rats bite back very hard. The proposed future planning agency (the Russians suggest we choose a better name) “along with…
the new financial system is now a must and we will push ahead with this.”
Let us pause now and look at some of the immediate symptoms of systemic failure, mostly in the U.S. The situation there is so bleak that about 40% of individuals, 61% of restaurants, and 35% of small businesses cannot make their December rent or mortgage payment. https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/record-61-restaurants-35-small-businesses-cant-pay-december-rent

The threat is not just to Americans, it is worldwide.
Here is what White Dragon Society sources in South East Asia have to report about the situation in Indonesia. The government plan is to give the vaccine to the workforce first.
“JAKARTA (BLOOMBERG) – Indonesia plans to vaccinate its young working-age population against the coronavirus before the elderly, in contrast to much of the world that’s planning on putting its vulnerable older people first in line. Southeast Asia’s first country to receive delivery of Covid-19 vaccines will focus on inoculating those between 18 and 59 years of age, starting with those working on the front lines of the pandemic such as health workers, the police, and the military.” THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS ARTICLE: The police and military. The actual plan is to vaccinate the Police and Military, wait a few weeks and when a large part of both forces fall very sick and start dying, there will be a coup de’etat. The Boys are planning on removing R11, president Joko Widodo (Jokowi) using the fallout from the Covid-19 vaccines as the catalyst. They have a replacement ready to step in and take the helm. This comes direct from my Intel contact in Jakarta.”
You can be sure they have a fake Donald Trump standing by as well to replace the real one. These are the sort of events that have caused a majority of Americans to think they have been defeated. https://www.studyfinds.org/americas-toughest-year-2020-left-people-feeling-defeated/

Jesus has told us

Jesus said : I want you to be the “ Crystal Cup ” of the Ascension consciousness of the Ascended Masters for life , so others can only obtain for themselves the feeling of security about Ascension , accept it and do a conscious effort to achieve it .
That is what I came to Earth to do .
I gave the example of loving the world for the fulfillment of that Divine Plan .
As I said to those who were with me in my ministry when I was about to leave , I said , “ Love one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” I repeat those words tonight , if you love me , you will love each other as I have loved you ; and I will pour My Love and that of the other Ascended Beings into all lives on earth , until the light becomes so bright that it dissolves all human shadow and the records of destruction until life in this universe does not retain memory and no record of humanity ’ s disobedience to the Divine Plan .
Then the light that enters will simply dissolve everything different from itself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and perfection will take care of all beings and all things , and they will expand to bless the entire Universe of power of such magnitude that all are one with him , and his Freedom and Victory and Joy is complete Powerful decree to do every day : ” I AM ” THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE !
“ I AM ” THE ASCENSION IN THE LIGHT !

That is what I came to Earth to do. I gave the example of loving the world for the fulfillment of that Divine Plan. As I said to those who were with me in my ministry when I was about to leave, I said, “Love one another, as I have loved you.” I repeat those words tonight, if you love me, you will love each other as I have loved you; and I will pour My Love and that of the other Ascended Beings into all lives on earth, until the light becomes so bright that it dissolves all human shadow and the records of destruction until life in this universe does not retain memory and no record of humanity’s disobedience to the Divine Plan. Then the light that enters will simply dissolve everything different from itself; and his love and his happiness and perfection will take care of all beings and all things, and they will expand to bless the entire Universe of power of such magnitude that all are one with him, and his Freedom and Victory and Joy is complete

Almost every antiviral vaccine ever sold works in a similar way: A dead or weakened virus, or a piece of one, is introduced into a healthy person. The weakened virus stimulates the immune system to generate antibodies, protecting the person when the real pathogen threatens to infect them.
Over the decades, this tried-and-true approach has vanquished polio, eradicated smallpox, and reined in chicken pox, measles, and mumps. But vaccine production has never been simple or fast. Many flu vaccines are still grown in chicken eggs. Newer approaches draw on genetic engineering to eliminate the need for whole viruses, but their viral proteins are still grown inside live cells.
The coronavirus vaccines from Moderna Inc., in Cambridge, Mass., and its German rival BioNTech SE propose to immunize people in a radically different way: by harnessing human cells to become miniature vaccine factories in their own right. Instead of virus proteins, the vaccines contain genetic instructions that prompt the body to produce them. Those instructions are carried via messenger RNA, or mRNA.
Moderna’s mRNA-1273 consists of a strand of mRNA that tells the body to produce the spike protein the coronavirus uses to latch onto human cells. The strand is like one side of a zipper; the “teeth” are a sequence of chemical letters that cells read to produce the 1,273 amino acids that make up the spike protein. If the vaccine works as intended, the body will start producing the proteins soon after injection, prompting the immune system to react and build up protective antibodies against them.
The great advantages of mRNA vaccines are speed and flexibility. No finicky live cells or hard-to-handle viruses are needed, and the basic chemistry is straightforward. Moderna’s vaccine reached Phase I human trials on March 16, only 63 days after the company began developing it. And at 6:43 a.m. on July 27, the first volunteer in Moderna’s 30,000-person, final-stage efficacy trial in the U.S. received an injection. Less than 12 hours later, BioNTech and its partner, Pfizer Inc., said they, too, were beginning a late-stage trial, a study that will be conducted in the U.S., Brazil, and several other countries. They took advantage of mRNA’s rapid-response capability to create four slightly different vaccines, which they compared in initial trials before selecting the best one for large-scale testing.
In Phase I trials, both the Moderna and BioNTech-Pfizer vaccines stimulated people’s immune systems to produce antibodies that neutralized the virus in lab experiments, a positive initial sign. “This is a relatively new platform, but it is looking quite good,” Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said after the results of Moderna’s Phase I trial, sponsored by NIAID, were published. “Neutralizing antibodies are the gold standard of protection.” Moderna, which has worked with NIAID for years, is receiving $955 million from the U.S. government to support its coronavirus trials.
How well mRNA vaccines will actually prevent Covid-19 remains unknown. No vaccine based on messenger RNA has ever been approved for any disease, or even entered final-stage trials until now, so there’s little published human data to compare how mRNA stacks up against older technologies. And the vaccines have hardly been free of side effects: In Moderna’s Phase I trial, all 15 of the patients who received the median of three dose sizes reported at least one side effect, though none were severe. Three of the 15 patients at the highest dose had temporary severe reactions. That dosage won’t be tested further.
Still, the accumulating data has some mRNA skeptics warming to the technology. “I don’t see the reason for focusing on mRNA vaccines. I don’t get that,” Peter Jay Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, said in an interview in early June. “The old-fashioned vaccines may do a better job.” In late July he said his opinion had shifted based on encouraging monkey and human trial results. Moderna’s vaccine “is showing promise,” he said. “There is enough of a glimmer to warrant continuing its clinical development and progressing to larger clinical trials.”
The possibility of a Covid-19 shot has led investors to more than triple the value of Moderna’s shares this year, giving the company a market capitalization of about $28 billion, an astonishing number for a company with no products. BioNTech shares have more than doubled. A third company with an mRNA-based Covid-19 shot, CureVac AG, has said it’s considering an initial public offering. Both Stéphane Bancel, Moderna’s chief executive officer, and Ugur Sahin, his less flashy counterpart at BioNTech, have become multibillionaires.

The excitement around mRNA goes beyond the pandemic. Proponents hope it can become a wide-ranging platform that will lead to vaccines for other difficult-to-treat infections, as well as customized cancer shots and even heart disease treatments. “It’s a big moment for mRNA therapeutics in general, because now it’s a household word and everybody knows about it,” says Derrick Rossi, a stem cell biologist who was a co-founder of Moderna in 2010 but is no longer affiliated with the company. “For Moderna, it’s the first time on the global stage.”
Interest in using genetic material to turn the body’s cells into vaccine factories dates to a series of experiments in the early 1990s. In 1993 researchers at Merck & Co. injected lab mice with loops of DNA that contained instructions for influenza proteins. To the surprise of the scientists, the mice generated an immune response that protected against the flu. The concept, so elegant it seemed almost too simple to be true, produced a surge of excitement among vaccine experts.
But though DNA vaccines worked in animals, they weren’t successful in initial human trials. It was difficult to get sufficient amounts of DNA into human cells, and when scientists overcame that, the vaccines turned out to be less potent than needed. (They were tried on the most challenging diseases, including HIV.) Over the years research into DNA vaccines has continued, but none has made it to market for humans. Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc., a dark horse in the Covid-19 vaccine race, is testing a DNA-based approach. It uses a hand-held device to zap the skin with electric pulses after an injection, opening up holes in cell membranes to allow in more DNA.
For years most researchers gave little thought to using messenger RNA as a vaccine or therapeutic, despite its close relation with DNA. When the body needs more of a protein, mRNA transports the requisite genetic code from the DNA to protein-making factories throughout the cell. But unlike DNA, a stable molecule, mRNA is notoriously fragile. Numerous enzymes present throughout the body break it down. Making matters worse for vaccine researchers, the immune system is hypervigilant about foreign RNA, identifying and destroying it before it can spur the protein-manufacturing process. In the 1990s, “we couldn’t envision it being feasible,” says Barney Graham, deputy director of the Vaccine Research Center at NIAID.
“It was very clear to me this technology could be deployed one day in a potential outbreak”
A few lonely scientists pursued mRNA therapies for years. In 2005, University of Pennsylvania researchers Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman found that a slight modification to the mRNA molecule could reduce the immune reaction, making it much more amenable for use in drugs or vaccines. (Since then, scientists have found ways to reduce mRNA’s other vulnerability inside the body, protecting it from enzymes by encapsulating it in lipid nanoparticles.) They filed for a patent and formed a company, but the university, which had rights to the patent, licensed it to a third party. Moderna rose to prominence using a similar approach. The experience still rankles Kariko, who left Penn for a job at BioNTech in 2013. “My science and my work were not considered important, and I was not recognized,” she says. “Nobody cared.”
The idea started gaining more attention in 2010, when Rossi, then at Harvard Medical School, used modified mRNA to convert skin cells into stem cells. Sensing big commercial possibilities, he reached out to his Harvard colleague Timothy Springer, who’d made $100 million in 1999 by selling the first biotech company he founded. Springer introduced Rossi to the venture capital company Flagship Pioneering, which founded Moderna in 2010 and began its operations the next year. He also brought in Robert Langer, a chemical engineer at MIT who’d co-founded many other companies. Langer became a co-founder and board member. (Springer, who put $5 million of his own into Moderna, made $400 million when the company went public in late 2018. His stake is now worth about $1 billion; Langer’s is worth about $900 million.)
Bancel, the former CEO of French lab testing company BioMérieux SA, joined the board in March 2011 and became Moderna’s CEO that October. He proved to be a prodigious fundraiser and a tireless proselytizer for the technology. In its eight years as a private company, Moderna raised $2.5 billion in venture capital and drug-company money, leading to one of the biggest IPOs in biotech history.
Armed with so much funding, Moderna cast widely for possible targets for its technology, including rare diseases and cancer. In its early years it was an intense place with lots of turnover. Bancel “is very ambitious,” Rossi says. “He drove it very, very hard and drove people that worked there very, very hard.”
Moderna also gained a reputation for secrecy. For years it published few scientific papers, unusual for biotech companies, which typically like to brag about their credentials. Since 2017, though, it’s published more frequently; the company says it now has more than 50 publications.

BioNTech, the company that’s emerged as Moderna’s biggest competitor, was founded quietly in 2008, based on the research of a husband-wife team of German medical researchers, Ugur Sahin and Ozlem Tureci. Tureci had spent her girlhood following her father, a surgeon, on his rounds at a Catholic hospital staffed by nuns. Sahin’s parents worked for a Ford factory in Cologne. The pair met while they were finishing their medical training; in the 1990s they were hired by Christoph Huber, head of the hematology-oncology department at the University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.
The three of them spent years pursuing immune-based treatments for cancer, eventually zeroing in on personalized vaccines that attempted to enlist the immune system to attack tumors. The researchers screened databases of gene sequences to find markers on cancer cells that could alert the immune system to targets. In 2000, Sahin started exploring mRNA as a delivery method for cancer vaccines. All of this was considered a crazy idea at the time, Tureci says.
So when Sahin, Tureci, and Huber started Ganymed Pharmaceuticals in 2001, they focused on more proven immunological approaches. Then, seven years later, Sahin persuaded two of Ganymed’s investors, Thomas and Andreas Strüngmann, to spin out the mRNA cancer vaccine research into a new company—BioNTech. Sahin became CEO, and Tureci was on the scientific advisory board. In 2018, two years after Astellas Pharma Inc. bought Ganymed, she became BioNTech’s chief medical officer.

If Moderna is polished and corporate, BioNTech has always had an academic vibe. The company has published its research from the beginning, putting out some 150 scientific papers in the past eight years alone. Sahin still uses his university email address. “Ugur is a scientist, and even though he runs a multibillion-dollar business, he still is a scientist and he thinks like a scientist first,” says Penn’s Weissman, who receives research funding from the company.
For most of its history, BioNTech focused exclusively on cancer drugs. Its first big foray into infectious disease came in August 2018, when it signed a deal with Pfizer to work on a vaccine for seasonal flu. The idea was to use BioNTech’s customization process to develop a better vaccine for the influenza pathogen, which morphs and mutates each winter season. Huber, a board member, says he never would have guessed its first product could be a pandemic vaccine.
Moderna was also initially focused on drugs. In 2014, Bancel recalls, a small group charged with finding uses for mRNA “were exploring new things, and they said, ‘Hey, vaccines might be a great use of this technology.’ ” The potential was obvious. For any given vaccine, “we use the same process, in the same building, in the same rooms, with the same people. That gives you an incredible speed advantage,” Bancel says. “It was very clear to me this technology could be deployed one day in a potential outbreak.”
In 2017, Moderna started working with Graham’s team at NIAID to design vaccines for several viruses, including MERS, a coronavirus that had hit Saudi Arabia and other countries starting in 2012. In the fall of 2019, Bancel briefed NIAID officials on a factory the company had built in Norwood, Mass., which could produce new vaccines in 60 days. They were skeptical at first, he says, because the company had never produced anything at scale, so he invited them to tour the facility and offered to do a test run for a hypothetical pandemic. The agency would send Moderna the genetic sequence for an emerging viral disease, and Moderna would see how fast it could have vials of a vaccine ready for clinical trials. NIAID was about to pick a virus to use when Covid-19 hit.
In early January, Bancel read a newspaper article about a mysterious virus going around China. He fired off an email to Graham asking if he knew what it was. Graham said he didn’t, but if it was a SARS-like coronavirus, it might be a good time to run the pandemic vaccine drill they’d been discussing. Bancel forwarded the emails to Hamilton Bennett, who is now program leader for Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine effort. Bennett, a self-described “public-health nerd” with a master’s degree in environmental microbiology, had sought a job at the company after hearing it was working on mRNA-based vaccines for new viruses. “It’s one of the few technologies that could respond in real time and make a difference,” she says.
On the evening of Friday, Jan. 10, the gene sequence from the virus was posted online by Chinese researchers. Scientists at NIAID and Moderna worked all weekend to identify a viable mRNA sequence for the spike protein. By early the next week they had agreed on one and started trying to synthesize a vaccine.
Bennett coordinated almost daily calls with NIAID and, in later months, numerous other federal agencies as they became involved. Moderna scientists were highly motivated to show that mRNA technology could help, she says. “Everyone looked at this as, I’m going to do whatever I can to make this successful.” The company originally thought it could have a shot ready for trials in late April, but manufacturing went faster than expected, and by Feb. 24, 42 days after it started, Moderna was shipping the first batch of vaccine to NIAID. After a fast Food and Drug Administration review of the trial plan, the first healthy volunteer was injected on March 16.
BioNTech also started working on a vaccine in January, after Sahin read an article in the Lancet describing how the coronavirus had spread in a family that had visited Wuhan. “It showed a pattern which is absolutely critical for a dangerous pandemic disease,” he says. The virus was new, no one was immune, and at least one of the family members hadn’t shown symptoms of infection.
After Sahin discussed the article with Tureci, BioNTech assigned 25 people to start running experiments on mRNA vaccines for the novel coronavirus, setting up shifts that ran through evenings and weekends. By March 2 they’d come up with 20 vaccine candidates that could spur a strong immune response against the virus in lab animals and cell culture experiments. That day Sahin called Kathrin Jansen, head of vaccine research and development at Pfizer. “We had a very short conversation, and it was very clear that she and her team were very interested,” Sahin says.
The companies started working together almost immediately. They narrowed the field of vaccine candidates to four and on April 23 started testing on people in Germany. A U.S. trial began less than two weeks later. The four options used three different mRNA technologies—BioNTech’s trial, essentially, was a giant scientific experiment to identify the one most likely to make a potent vaccine.
The bragging rights associated with being among the first companies to have vaccines in trials are nice. But with numerous alternatives likely to go into Phase III trials over the next few months, they may not tell us much about the ultimate outcome of the hunt. To the extent that being firstmatters right now, it’s because of money.
“When these guys put their hands up and said, ‘We’ll be able to go into the clinic in a few weeks,’ you can see why people gave them money,” says Nikolai Petrovsky, a vaccine researcher at Flinders University in Australia. “But it doesn’t mean that they’re the best platform or the most reliable platform or the platforms that will ultimately succeed.” Petrovsky, who founded a small company working on a competing Covid-19 vaccine that uses more established methods, says he hasn’t been particularly impressed by the immune responses generated by mRNA vaccines and worries about how well they’ll be tolerated. He suspects that when all is said and done they’ll prove inferior to vaccines produced using older technologies.
The hype surrounding mRNA vaccines has been lucrative for Moderna’s executives. This year, as share prices have soared on the whole and gyrated wildly on day-to-day vaccine news, Moderna insiders have sold more than $250 million worth of stock, according to executive compensation data company Equilar Inc. Bancel has sold more than $18 million since the Covid-19 vaccine program was announced, and investment companies he controls have sold $11 million more. Moderna says sales by executives are triggered by preexisting share-sales plans, and Bancel says the vast majority of his fortune is still tied up in Moderna stock.
Some scientists were particularly annoyed about a press release on May 18 from Moderna announcing “positive interim clinical data.” Its vaccine had produced neutralizing antibodies in the first eight volunteers, but the company didn’t indicate what kind of numbers those antibodies were being produced in, making it hard to judge how promising the results actually were. Moderna’s shares went up 20% anyway, and the company raised $1.3 billion in a secondary stock offering later that day.
Bancel says the company decided it had to put out a release because numerous government officials knew the results; it couldn’t take the risk they’d leak. “We were stuck between a rock and a hard place,” he says. When the full trial results were published on July 14, including all the numbers, they confirmed that the vaccine produced antibodies in all people who completed the trial.
Because the coronavirus is a respiratory pathogen that hits many parts of the airway, it’s possible we’ll end up with a partially effective vaccine. That’s as true for mRNA vaccines as for any other approaches, old and new. Patients may have to be revaccinated regularly if the shot’s effectiveness wanes over time. The FDA has indicated it will approve modestly effective vaccines as long as they are safe and prevent the disease or reduce its severity in at least half of those who are vaccinated.
Moderna is planning for success, one way or another. It cut a deal with contract manufacturer Lonza Group AG in May to add manufacturing capacity. Between its plant in Massachusetts and Lonza’s in New Hampshire, Moderna says it hopes to be able to make enough of the vaccine to cover the entire U.S. population. Lonza’s plants in Switzerland have capacity for another 300 million doses. On Aug. 11, Moderna reached a deal to supply 100 million doses of its shot to the U.S. government for up to $1.5 billion. Pfizer, for its part, has cut a deal to sell 100 million doses of any successful vaccine coming out of its collaboration with BioNTech to the U.S. government for $1.95 billion. (Moderna’s lower price reflects the government’s financial support of the company’s vaccine development program.)
Bancel says he’s confident Moderna’s vaccine will stimulate antibodies against the coronavirus, as it did in the first patients in the Phase I trial. But whether that prevents people from getting sick, he admits, “we cannot know until we see the Phase III data.” If the trials proceed as fast as Moderna hopes, we may know the answer by late fall.
