Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About 9/11 Conspiracy Theory in Under 5 Minutes [VIDEO] | by James Corbett

Everything you ever wanted to know about 9/11 conspiracy theory in under 5 minutes.

Transcript:

On the morning of September 11, 2001, 19 men armed with boxcutters directed by a man on dialysis in a cave fortress halfway around the world using a satellite phone and a laptop directed the most sophisticated penetration of the most heavily-defended airspace in the world, overpowering the passengers and the military combat-trained pilots on 4 commercial aircraft before flying those planes wildly off course for over an hour without being molested by a single fighter interceptor.

These 19 hijackers, devout religious fundamentalists who liked to drink alcoholsnort cocaine, and live with pink-haired strippers, managed to knock down 3 buildings with 2 planes in New York, while in Washington a pilot who couldn’t handle a single engine Cessna was able to fly a 757 in an 8,000 foot descending 270 degree corskscrew turn to come exactly level with the ground, hitting the Pentagon in the budget analyst office where DoD staffers were working on the mystery of the 2.3 trillion dollars that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had announced “missing” from the Pentagon’s coffers in a press conference the day before, on September 10, 2001.

Luckily, the news anchors knew who did it within minutes, the pundits knew within hours, the Administration knew within the day, and the evidence literally fell into the FBI’s lap. But for some reason a bunch of crazy conspiracy theorists demanded an investigation into the greatest attack on American soil in history.

The investigation was delayedunderfundedset up to fail, a conflict of interest and a cover upfrom start to finish. It was based on testimony extracted through torture, the records of which were destroyed. It failed to mention the existence of WTC7Able DangerPtechSibel EdmondsOBL and the CIA, and the drills of hijacked aircraft being flown into buildings that were being simulated at the precise same time that those events were actually happening. It was lied to by the Pentagon, the CIA, the Bush Administration and as for Bush and Cheney…well, no one knows what they told it because they testified in secretoff the recordnot under oath and behind closed doors.

It didn’t bother to look at who funded the attacks because that question is of “little practical significance“. Still, the 9/11 Commission did brilliantly, answering all of the questions the public had (except most of the victims’ family members’ questions) and pinned blame on all the people responsible (although no one so much as lost their job), determining the attacks were “a failure of imagination” because “I don’t think anyone could envision flying airplanes into buildings ” except the Pentagon and FEMA and NORAD and the NRO.

The DIA destroyed 2.5 TB of data on Able Danger, but that’s OK because it probably wasn’t important.

The SEC destroyed their records on the investigation into the insider trading before the attacks, but that’s OK because destroying the records of the largest investigation in SEC history is just part of routine record keeping.

NIST has classified the data that they used for their model of WTC7’s collapse, but that’s OK because knowing how they made their model of that collapse would “jeopardize public safety“.

The FBI has argued that all material related to their investigation of 9/11 should be kept secret from the public, but that’s OK because the FBI probably has nothing to hide.

This man never existed, nor is anything he had to say worthy of your attention, and if you say otherwise you are a paranoid conspiracy theorist and deserve to be shunned by all of humanity. Likewise himhimhim, and her. (and her and her and him).

Osama Bin Laden lived in a cave fortress in the hills of Afghanistan, but somehow got away. Then he was hiding out in Tora Bora but somehow got away. Then he lived in Abottabad for years, taunting the most comprehensive intelligence dragnet employing the most sophisticated technology in the history of the world for 10 years, releasing video after video with complete impunity (and getting younger and younger as he did so), before finally being found in a daring SEAL team raid which wasn’t recorded on video, in which he didn’t resist or use his wife as a human shield, and in which these crack special forces operatives panicked and killed this unarmed man, supposedly the best source of intelligence about those dastardly terrorists on the planet. Then they dumped his body in the ocean before telling anyone about it. Then a couple dozen of that team’s members died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

This is the story of 9/11, brought to you by the media which told you the hard truths about JFKand incubator babies and mobile production facilities and the rescue of Jessica Lynch.

If you have any questions about this story…you are a batshit, paranoid, tinfoil, dog-abusing baby-hater and will be reviled by everyone. If you love your country and/or freedom, happiness, rainbows, rock and roll, puppy dogs, apple pie and your grandma, you will never ever express doubts about any part of this story to anyone. Ever.

Does Time Really Heal All Wounds?

By Geralyn Ritter

Time heals all wounds is a common saying that is full of hope. Whether you just lost a loved one, ended a relationship, or are recovering from trauma, that phrase is likely to be said to you by someone in your life. The phrase is hopeful, but is it really true? Here, we will examine the “time heals all wounds” cliche, how true or untrue it is, and time’s role in the healing process.

So, will time heal all wounds?

When someone is going through a hard time, they are likely to be told that time heals all wounds by at least one person in their life. They are offering hope that, eventually, they will get past this and feel better. The hope is that when someone has had enough time away from the event, the pain will fade, and they will heal. The problem is that time alone is not a magical healing aid. If time was all that someone needed to heal, then everyone who experiences emotional pain will eventually heal and be fine.

Time is an important ingredient in the healing process, as it gives us time to distance ourselves and look at things neutrally. However, time alone is not going to heal wounds.

Why isn’t time enough?

Time lets you distance yourself from the issue and process it. However, time on its own is not going to address the cause of the emotional pain. Sometimes, it can get a lot worse before it gets better. After someone gets past the initial shock of the event, time can cause the old memories to stir and re-emerge and even cause fresh wounds. Weeks or months later, the reality of the event that caused the emotional pain can set in, making your distress worse.

Even in the long run, time may not improve distress for someone. They can become stuck in their distress for a lot of reasons. They may not want to accept the reality of the cause of their distress because the feelings linked to it are too overwhelming. The intensity of the circumstances might be too traumatic for them to process the distress. They may not have a safe space to process their emotions, making them unable to begin the healing process.

Time Moves Slowly When You Hurt

The way we experience the flow of time is subjective. When you are sitting in a hospital injured, time feels like it slows down. When you have a migraine and are waiting for medication to kick in and make it feel better, seconds can feel like hours. The same thing happens when you are in emotional pain. The days can just bleed together, the distress weighing you down.

Trauma is Timeless

Trauma can literally change your brain. Trauma can cause post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can lead to flashbacks, nightmares, and intrusive images and thoughts. Your brain can feel like the traumatic event is happening right now, even though it happened years ago. Recovering from trauma is a long and difficult process that often requires the help of a therapist.

So, what does heal wounds?

In order to heal from an emotional wound, you need to acknowledge that time alone is not the magic solution. When you have a cut on your arm, it can heal over time, but if you clean and bandage it first, it can heal better. An emotional wound is not a cut that will just heal on its own eventually. These require that we acknowledge them and work to heal them; emotional pain is complex. We have to put in work to heal, and the first part of that is acknowledging the wounds and knowing that you need to put in the work.

Ignoring and suppressing emotional wounds will not make the pain go away. It just turns into anxiety, pain, and anger. If you do not have a support system in place that can help you heal, consider seeking out a therapist or group therapy setting so you have somewhere to safely explore your feelings and work on healing.

Final Thoughts

Time might make your wounds feel less raw, but that is not going to cure the pain on its own. It is important to stay patient with yourself in the process and not blame yourself if it takes time. Healing is not a destination, it is a journey, and it can take time to complete your journey. Everyone heals at their own pace, and you cannot compare someone else’s healing journey with your own.

Here’s What the mRNA Jab Does To the Body | Dr. Christina Parks, PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology

VIDEO SOURCE: America’s Frontline Doctors | White Coat Summit website.

Dr. Christina Parks, who has a PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology, talks about the dangers of mRNA technology used for the COVID-19 jab, including damaging the immune system. (SEE THE TRANSCRIPT BELOW) She was one of approximately 20 speakers at the “White Coat Summit” hosted by America’s Frontline Doctors on July, 27 2023. To watch the videos of the rest of the brilliant and brave speakers, including Dr. Robert Malone whose talk Dr. Parks mentions, visit the White Coat Summit website.

Note that Dr. Parks previously testified in the state of Michigan in support of HB4471, a bill that banned employers from requiring the COVID-19 vaccines in the workplace. You can watch her expert testimony HERE.

TRANSCRIPT

Thank you. Well, I think Dr. Malone did an excellent job of setting me up. Basically, the concern is that they are really looking to push this technology [genetic vaccines like the COVID-19 jab]. They are set to try to make a fortune off of it, and to that end, they neither are concerned that it’s not safe or effective, and they want to shut down all information that might suggest so.

What I’m going to do today is focus on the science, and you may hear me repeat some of the things that Dr. Malone has already said, but I think that it’s complex enough that that’s not going to hurt anybody. So, if I can have the first slide, I want to really talk about the dangers of this technology.

I’m supposed to be clicking it? OK, alright. Perfect.

So, how is this different from a traditional vaccine? In a traditional vaccine, a small amount of the viral protein or antigen, or sometimes only just a portion of it, is injected. It’s never inside the cell; it’s in the fluid between your cells. Sometimes, it gets into the bloodstream. Your immune system recognizes and makes antibodies. I’m going into the whole process beyond that.

Gene therapy is very different because, as Dr. Malone said, it turns your body into a manufacturing plant for the antigen. And in this case, it’s the full-length spike protein, which is toxic and is the cause of the deleterious effects of COVID. So, why would we want to turn our bodies into a manufacturing plant for a toxic foreign viral protein? It makes no sense.

So, when I learned that they were going to use these gene therapy vaccines, I was extremely concerned. I, like Dr. Malone, understood that this was a cell-free system that they’d bring to market very quickly, but I thought the potential harm had not been worked out and were substantial. And the ethical concerns of… they can basically make your body make anything that they want it to make.

And so, you’re even trusting them that the genetic information that they’re giving you is what they say they’re giving you. And even if it’s what they intended, there could be a defect in manufacturing, and you could either get a mutation in that gene or you could get something altogether different through some sort of recombinatory event.

Concerns With Gene Transfer Technology Being Used for Vaccines

So the concerns with gene therapy technology. First, here are the goals of gene therapy:

  • To get the target genetic material into as many cells of interest as possible. This is not necessary for a vaccination scenario. You only need a little bit.
  • In gene therapy, you want the mRNA for the gene to be expressed as long as possible.

The reason I’m telling you this is because all of the technology is geared toward these ends: toward getting it into as many cells and getting it expressed as long as possible. And that’s why they use that pseudouridine instead of regular mRNA, which is degraded much quicker, and to have as much of the target protein made as possible.

Now, if you were replacing a defective gene, those would be seen as good things. However, when you’re talking about making a toxic, viral, foreign protein that causes all of these problems, that’s a problem. Alright, so I’ll just read here.

The most important thing to consider when using gene therapy as a vaccine is that the cells are being instructed to make a foreign viral protein rather than a human protein. Thus, it should be expected that the immune system will target this foreign protein and the cells of your body that are producing it for destruction.

Alright, I want to back up just a step, because I’m going to go on that point more.
But the lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), Dr. Malone talked about this, that was my first thought when they said they were using gene therapy. There are two platforms: the adenoviral vector and the nanoparticles. Both are highly inflammatory. I believe with the adenoviral vector, a young man actually died.

Concerns with the Lipid Nanoparticles in mRNA Vaccines

Now some of these technologies are being used where they take cells out of the body, do some gene therapy on them, and put them back in. That’s very different. And because these, once they’re in the body, are highly inflammatory.

The other thing I want to say is there’s some technology being used for something like cancer. It’s very different to take someone who has no quality of life because of a genetic defect, or has cancer, or is very elderly, and using a very controversial technology in them. But when you’re talking about using this in healthy individuals, the cost-benefit, there is almost all cost and no benefit.

And these nanoparticles are extremely inflammatory. Pfizer’s own distribution data show they’re fat-like particles, and they’re synthetic. So they dysregulate the lipid or fat signaling in the body and they accumulate in the fatty areas of your body. That’s your ovaries.

So, we’re sending material that’s going to make a toxic viral protein that’s highly inflammatory to your children’s ovaries. It gets in the bone marrow, where you can get insertional mutagenesis. It gets in your adrenal glands, which modulate your whole hormonal axis.

And so, if you’re freaking out because your adrenal glands are screwed up because they’ve got this material in them. And of course, the heart itself is surrounded by fat and we’re seeing myocarditis many times within days or hours after injection.

They can disrupt the blood-brain barrier integrity. They can mimic our body’s own natural lipids, specifically phosphatidylserine, causing the cells to fuse. If these mimic that, your heart cells and other cells might try to fuse instead of doing whatever they’re supposed to be doing. Alright?

And so, your cell membrane – think of the old switchboard. It’s like the world’s largest, most complicated switchboard in terms of cellular signaling. You’re taking a bunch of synthetic, man-made lipids and integrating those into the cell membrane. Should we be surprised when the body’s signaling is completely screwed up and disrupted?

And then Dr. Malone also talked about the problems with the synthetic mRNA.

Concerns with Synthetic mRNA

This is man-made. It’s made to be more efficient at making the protein than your normal mRNA. It doesn’t get broken down. We don’t know how long it continues to make this viral protein, but at this point, it looks like in some cases it could be indefinitely.

And then, your body reacts to this mRNA and it’s also going to react to these nano-lipid particles. In order to tamp down that immune response that has been so problematic throughout the lifetime of this technology, what they did is they engineered it to kind of turn off some of your toll-like receptors, to turn them down, to dysregulate them so that they wouldn’t have a hyper-inflamatory response.

Well, they’re not just turning them down to this technology; they’re turning them down to everything. So the technology itself becomes immunosuppressive, meaning it screws up your immune system in a way where you are not going to respond properly to a pathogen or an immune challenge.

Understanding the J&J and Astrazeneca Vaccines

The J&J, I just want to mention these briefly. I’m not going through all of this in the interest of time. Dr. Malone is an expert on this, and I don’t claim to be.

But my understanding is that this DNA technology is kind of a cassette system where they can put in multiple genes and multiple regulatory elements. So they could say you could use multiple vaccinations and multiple antigens, and they can regulate them all differently. What does that look like ethically?

Maybe they’re putting in this, that you know they’re putting in, maybe putting something else that’s regulated and then when you eat cheese it’s turned on, and now you’re expressing a protein you didn’t even know was in you.

Ethically, I have a huge problem with them putting in genetic information that they can then regulate through hormonal or other means – things they spray in the air, things they put in the food supply. Very problematic for me. OK, I’m gonna move on from that.

Now this gets to my central point that this technology turns your cells into manufacturing plants for whatever they decide to put in there. In this case, the spike protein.

Spike Protein Production in Lymph Cells

And so here we see cells, I believe these are from lymph tissue, making mRNA, and it was made out all the way until 60 days when they ended the experiment. And then right behind that, we see protein production. So at least 60 days. And some people have said that they have seen spike protein being produced in the non-classical monocytes up to six months, possibly up to two years in some of the vaccine injured.

Now, this is going to be extremely variable depending on what you got, how this is working in your cells. There are so many complex variations, and that’s the point, isn’t it? Nobody sort of standardized this process. Some people’s body may be degraded or maybe it was degraded before it got infected to you, we don’t really know.

And this is Dr. Ryan Cole’s work where he stained for the spike protein, and what he saw, what you’re seeing here, and these are many different tissues including heart tissue, brain tissue, and the coronary artery, is that these small focal points are where the cells are producing the spike protein.

So if you are producing a foreign protein, what is your body going to do? It’s going to send immune cells to destroy those cells that are making the spike protein. And that is exactly what we are seeing.

We are seeing immune infiltration. And when those immune cells infiltrate anything, what happens when you get some sort of infection? It swells. So you get swelling, you get immune infiltration, you get inflammation.

And beyond that, what happens is your immune cells, in eating the spike protein, start to eat through your very tissues.

Myocarditis After SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination

And so here’s what we’re seeing, in this case, these brown spots are the immune cells. And you can see in this bottom right one, it’s focal. So when the cells are producing the spike protein, that’s where you see it. It’s not every single cell, but where you see it, that’s what you see.

These cells can basically eat through your tissues. And so in the case of, we’re seeing aortic dissections, if you have your blood vessels producing the spike protein and you’re destroying infected cells, you end up with a perforation in that tissue or a weak spot in that tissue, especially when talking about an artery that is under a considerable amount of stress.

Now again, if this is in your ovaries, you’re getting immune infiltration and inflammation in your ovaries.

Alright, so I want to talk about Kevin McKernan’s work where he identified that there is plasmid contamination or adulteration.

Genetic Material in mRNA Vaccines

The very first clinical trials were done with synthetic mRNA produced in a lab. But then when they ramped up, they’re like we need a lot more template. What was the template? It’s something called a plasmid, something that is the backbone of DNA recombinant technology because it’s used to kind of cut and paste in a puzzle-like way whatever you want to put together.

So they put the spike protein in this plasmid, they grew up in a lot of bacteria, they theoretically purified it, and then they used it to make the mRNA. And they were supposed to purify the mRNA, and then put it in the nano-lipid particles, and then put in your body.

Either they didn’t, or they didn’t try very hard because there’s a ton of this plasmid DNA. Since they didn’t clean it out, there’s likely a lot of bacterial cell membrane as well.

If you’re a doctor, you know the bacterial cell membrane is highly, highly inflammatory. In terms of vaccinology, it’s one of the top causes of anaphylaxis and inflammation, leading to a kind of anaphylactic shock-like condition that causes people to die right after vaccination if it’s contaminated. And so that may be some of the anaphylaxis that we’ve seen. However, this DNA basically can get back into bacteria.

So, I want to show you when he sequenced it, this is a plasmid (there’s no controversy about this):

Pfizer’s Plasmid

This is what Pfizer used. And what it has in it, it has a promoter region from a monkey virus, simian virus 40 promoter region, that actually localizes it to the nucleus of mamalian cells. So, this contaminating DNA is now going to be localized. Maybe it gets in your gut, because all bacteria are going to take it up when they see this. Bacteria are going to take it up, they’re going to divide, they’re going to spread. You’re going to spread it to your unvaccinated neighbors, friends, relatives.

So this is an unintentional potential infectious agent that codes for the spike protein that could infect your nasopharynx and your gut and target the spike protein to the nucleus of your cells.

Is this being done? We don’t know, but did anybody test for it? And we know that this can happen because there was a lab working with a plasmid that had the capsid protein in it, and they kept testing positive for COVID. They found out that their bacteria had taken up the plasmid.

So, many of the vaccinated have gotten a lot of this plasmid, some of it whole, some of it broken, some of it being able to target into their nucleus. So this is an adulteration and contamination that should not be in there, and it’s a very intrinsic problem to this kind of technology that has not been addressed.

Beyond this, these plasmids are what are used to pop genes in and out of things. So when you have this in your gut, and you have another kind of infection or it’s in your (???) – wherever it is, on your skin, you can get recombination. That’s what genetic material does; it recombines.

If there’s another kind of viral infection, this can actually be packaged into bacterial viruses called bacteriophages, or it can recombine and become part of another virus. Could part of the spike protein now become part of another cold virus? So now we’ve got some active spike protein in the cold is going around.

Nobody has addressed these in the rush to just, you know, it looks like good technology. You know, basically, we’re playing God. We are playing God, and the only reason why we get away with it is the grace of God.

Likely Consequences of Plasmid Contamination of Pfizer Vaccine

Alright, so likely consequences of plasmid contamination of the Pfizer vaccine:

  • Contaminating bacterial endotoxins, if they didn’t purify it enough, may cause anaphylaxis, severe inflammation, and other vaccine injuries.
  • This pseudoridine and this plasma DNA can hybridize and make these weird DNA-RNA hybrids that are going to screw up your immune system and cause all sorts of dysregulated immune system functioning.
  • You know, as an aside, women go into labor because enough of the fetal DNA has gotten into their circulation, and it binds to these different receptors and signals the body to go into labor. So we have receptors to identify the genetic material in our body, whether it’s our own, our child, or bacterial or fungal. So our body’s responsive to this. To think that we can inject all this crap into our bodies without consequence is extremely arrogant. Right?
  • And again, they found that the plasmids are being encased in these lipid particles, and so they’re going all over into our bodies. And again, they can be targeted to the nucleus of different cells, and they can be incorporated into little bacteriophage particles. So the question becomes, have we created a synthetic infectious agent that’s going to infect the vaccinated and the unvaccinated alike?

Chronic Immune Activation

So again, I wanted to focus on the dangers inherent to the technology. But I want to talk about an overall paradigm for injury that we are seeing. Because the spike protein is so injurious and it’s so highly inflammatory.

The spike protein was used because it causes immune activation. Now, your body’s making it chronically, so you have chronic immune activation. When you have that, your T-cells, your T-cells have two jobs:

  • find infected cells like those infected by viruses or pathogens and destroy them
  • find cancer cells and destroy them.

When your body’s under a state of chronic immune activation, it’s like, “hey, we can’t keep destroying ourselves, we can’t keep hacking our tissues.” So like, you know what T-cells, you need to stand down, or you’re going to destroy the whole body. So the T-cells go into something called T-cell exhaustion or T-cell anergy, where they stop working.

What happens when they stop working? You get sick with whatever is coming around. It doesn’t matter what it is. And you stop destroying any cancer cells in your body. Most people don’t know when they’re diagnosed with cancer, that’s been growing maybe 5, maybe 10 years. What kept it in check? Your immune system. When does it flourish? When your immune system is compromised. We have just turned off our T-cells, and we’ve dis-regulated our immune receptors in every possible way. And now we’re wondering why cancer is flourishing.

If you keep stimulating the immune system past the point of T-cell exhaustion (the T-cells have given up the game), they actually start acting really wonky, and they interact with your B-cells to make antibodies. And they do it in a way that is not correct, and it results in auto antibodies against yourself. Alright? This is sort of a switch that is flipped, and it causes aberrant auto-antibody production. There can be genetic predispositions to this, but there’s a good deal of scientific literature showing this process.

So when we see an immune deficiency, cancer, and autoimmunity altogether, there’s a very good reason. And so, this is what chronic immune activation looks like, and why we cannot allow technologies that, whether it’s continually vaccinating our children again and again or making a protein that is stimulating chronic immune activation. We cannot allow that to happen. Alright?

And here’s an example:

A Rise In Cancer

In this is just one case study, although we are seeing a huge increase in cancers. This gentleman, on the 8th of September, and you see all these, most of these dark bodies, not his brain, you know, especially in the shoulder and armpit areas, are these small cancerous growths. And so he was like going to be scheduled for chemotherapy. He got his booster a few weeks later, on the 22nd of September. And eight days later, he went back, and you can see the cancer has just exploded in a way that’s hard to even believe happened.

So we are seeing the rise of these turbo cancers. Again, your immune system keeps cancer in check. So, do we want to continue to play God and dysregulate the immune system at every level?

And when we know that those who those who are just trying to support the immune system are being attacked by this government because there’s only one answer [that is allowed]. All these supplements, things like zinc and vitamin D and turmeric aren’t being allowed. The only thing that’s being allowed is what’s going to make them money.

Thank you




BEWARE: The Fake “Alien Invasion” Scam Is Building | David Icke


Source: London Real

In this video, David Icke discusses the existence of aliens and their manipulation of human society “for eons.” He highlights recent hearings on Capitol Hill where witnesses confirmed the presence of non-human forces visiting Earth. Icke questions the motives behind the recent shift in attitude and suggests that this is likely part of a plan to create a fake alien invasion in order to transform society by taking more freedoms away. Icke cites Werner Von Braun, who warned decades ago about the coming “fake alien invasion.” Icke warns against blindly trusting authority figures and billionaire leaders.




Vedic Astrology Report for August 2023: Navigating Love in Retrograde

vedic astrology May 2015

By Debra Infante

Venus, planet of relationship, is retrograde the whole month of August until September 3, 2023, and brings an opportunity to uncover your deepest truths about love. The Sun, aspected by Saturn and north node Rahu, begins its powerful yearly transit through its own sign of Leo from August 17 to September 17, 2023. Mercury, planet of communications goes retrograde August 23 to September 5, 2023.

Venus began its retrograde phase July 22 at 4 degrees Leo, and will remain retrograde the whole month of August until September 3, 2023. Venus retrograde periods help us to understand the deeper meaning of self-love and relationship, while uncovering past areas of challenge and misunderstandings that need to be healed, forgiven, and released. Do you need more time in your life for greater self-care? Do you have issues about lack of support in love and relationship? This is an especially positive transit to heal old, emotional traumas, and increase your self-worth. People, memories, and unfinished business from the past can resurface for completion and closure.

When a planet is retrograde it is closest to the earth, and so affects us on a more personal, internal level. Watch for too much romanticism or disappointment. Instead, review your ideas about love, and bring greater integrity, authenticity, and wholeness into all your relationships. Be patient with yourself and others. Practice compassion with everyone you meet, have gratitude, and remain balanced.

During the retrograde phase this month, Venus will eventually transit the gandanta degrees between the fire sign Leo and water sign Cancer. From August 5 to August 8, 2023, Venus transits 0 degrees Leo to 29 degrees Cancer, an extra sensitive time to let go of old, ancient karmic issues and misunderstandings about relationships, self-love, finances, and our values in life. The key is to practice non-resistance or neutrality as planets travel the gandanta degrees.

The Sun transits its own sign of Leo beginning August 17 until September 17, 2023, and this powerful transit brings increased vitality and heightened creativity. The Sun in Leo can be a time to develop greater confidence and determination. The Sun in Leo is generous and wants to inspire others. The shadow side of this transit brings resistance to change or stubborn pride.

While the Sun is in Leo it will be aspected by the north node Rahu in Aries and opposed by Saturn in Aquarius, two malefic planets. Rahu aspects the Sun exactly at 2 degrees on August 19 and can bring increased ambition or anxiety or fear.  The Saturn and the Sun opposition indicates possible power struggles or brings up feelings of imbalance and inequality. With both Saturn and Rahu aspects on the Sun we can experience increased pressures, stress, and change. Instead, be realistic, let go of judgments, do your duty, and stay focused.

Mercury, planet of communications, goes retrograde at 27 degrees Leo on August 23 until September 15, 2023. Communications could be confusing, or business interactions don’t go as planned. For clarity, double-check travel plans or what you put in writing.  Mercury retrograde is good for reviewing things, organizing your office, and completing projects we may have put on hold. Creative or right-brained activities such as painting and music are positive outlets now. Think before you speak. This is a good time for inner reflection, meditation, and contemplation.

Democrats Attempt to CENSOR RFK Jr in House Hearing on CENSORSHIP

Source: Kim Iversen

The key idea of the video by Kim Iversen is that Democrats demanded censorship of RFK Jr at a House hearing on censorship (see HERE), highlighting the issue of government censorship and the importance of the First Amendment for respectful debate and democracy. However, RFK Jr was allowed to deliver his eloquent opening statement, which is shown in its entirety near the beginning of this video, in which he called for comity, respect,  kindness, compassion, and empathy when debating policy.

Editor note: Why do you think the Democrats want to censor RFK Jr? Could it be that he has stated that he would stop US involvement in foreign wars (negatively impacting the profits of the Military Industrial Complex), plus he will crack down on the corruption in the pharmaceutical industrial complex (which will impact their bottom line as well). These are the two biggest contributors (lobbyists) who line the pockets of congressional members with cash in order to promote their products and safeguard their profits.

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT

Kim Iversen:
Today, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was invited by Republicans to testify about censorship to the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, which is the same subcommittee that Matt Taibbi and Michael Schellenberger testified in front of. And it went about as you would expect. Democrats showcased just how pro-censorship they’ve become. Now, we’re going to play some of the clips for you so that you can see for yourself – starting off with RFK Jr’s opening statement.

But, literally, before he even began speaking, they tried to censor him. Democrats noticed that RFK Jr. was slated to give a 10-minute opening statement when most are only given five minutes, and they immediately objected to it. They said they didn’t want him talking for that long. Watch this:

Stacey Plaskett (Ranking Member for Dems):

“Excuse me, point of order. I know that witnesses usually have five minutes. I see 10 minutes on the board. Is it going to be 10 minutes?”

Jim Jordan (Republican Chairman):

“We’ll give him five minutes, but we’re pretty lax with this.”

Stacey Plaskett:

“We are? I’ve seen you gavel down on quite a number of witnesses.”

Jim Jordan:

“I’ve given senators and former Democrat members of Congress and all kinds…”

Stacey Plaskett:
“He’s neither, he’s neither.”

“Jim Jordan:
“I’m just saying in past history.”

Stacey Plaskett:
“OK. OK. Watch the time for all the witnesses.”

Jim Jordan:
“And if you want to cut him off and censor him some more, you’re welcome to do it.”

Stacey Plaskett:
“Oh, that’s not my job! That’s your job! Why don’t you threaten a witness so that they can not want to be a witness?”

Jim Jordan:
“Mr. Kennedy is recognized for his opening statement. We’ll give him five minutes more or less and then we’ll move to the next one. Mr. Kennedy, go right ahead.”

Robert F Kennedy Jr (RFK Jr):

“Thank you, Mr. Chairman…”

Stacey Plaskett Interrupts RFK Jr: 

“Mr. Chairman, maybe we could put five minutes on the clock. Not ten.”

Kim Iversen:
“I mean, honestly, they just did not want him to speak. So, they tried to censor him. Other people who were invited to this session included three invited by Republicans and one invited by Democrats.

“The other two invitees, besides RFK Jr., were Emma Joe Morris and John Sauer. Emma Joe Morris is a journalist who now works for Breitbart, but she was one of the main reporters covering the Hunter Biden laptop story for the New York Post that was heavily censored as we saw.

“Also, John Sauer is a Special Assistant Attorney General at the Louisiana Justice Department. He’s involved in the Missouri vs. Biden lawsuit, which is making its way through the courts right now. It’s heading to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, where judges have ruled that the government did, in fact, infringe on the First Amendment rights of Americans by censoring them through social media.

“So, those are the other two who are testifying alongside Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is there to testify to the fact that he has been censored while campaigning for president.

“The Democrat, who is all the way over there – she’s wearing the gray suit on the screen and turquoise top, is Maya Wiley. She is the President and Chief Executive of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. She at one point worked for the ACLU, but she is the pro-censorship person, basically, that Democrats have called her in – claiming that we need to censor people because they say dangerous things which lead to dangerous outcomes. So, censor, censor, censor.

“So, we’re going to play RFK Jr’s entire opening statement. I was hesitant to do this because it is 10 minutes long. Even though they tried to limit him to five minutes, saying, “Put five minutes on the clock, five minutes, five minutes,” he went for 10 minutes anyway. Luckily, no one interrupted him, but it is a very good and powerful 10 minutes.

So, we’re just going to play the whole thing. The whole thing is really riveting, so we’re going to go ahead and watch now.”

[00:03:35] RFK Jr’s Opening statement
https://youtu.be/qIX4Ozs8R8A?t=215

RFK Jr:
“Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I want to start… I want to put aside my written statement for a moment and address one of the points that was brought up. I think it’s an important point by the ranking member: that this body ought to be concerning itself with issues that impact directly impact the American people: the rising price of groceries, 76% over the past two years for basic foodstuff, the war in Ukraine, inflation issues, the border issues, many, many other issues that concern us all as a nation.

We can’t do that without the First Amendment, without debate. When I gave my speech, my announcement speech in Boston two months ago, YouTube — I talked about all those issues. I focused on groceries. I focused on the fact that working-class people can no longer afford to live in this country. I talked about inflation, all the issues that deeply concern you, and that you’ve devoted your career to alleviating those issues.

Five minutes into my speech, when I was talking about Paul Revere, YouTube de-platformed me. I didn’t talk about vaccines in that speech. I didn’t talk about anything that was a forbidden subject. I was just talking about my campaign and the conversation we ought to be having with each other as Americans, but I was shut down.

That is why the First Amendment is important. Debate, congenial, respectful debate is the fertilizer, it’s the water, it’s the sunlight for our democracy. We need to be talking to each other.

Now, this is a letter that many of you signed, many of my fellow Democrats. I’ve spent my life in this party. I’ve devoted my life to the values of this party. 102 people signed this. This itself is evidence of the problem that this hearing was convened to address. This is an attempt to censor a censorship hearing. The charges in this, and by the way, censorship is antithetical to our party.

It was appalling to my father, to my uncle, to FDR, to Harry Truman. Thomas Jefferson, as the chairman referred to. It is the basis for democracy. It sets us apart from all of the previous forms of government. We need to be able to talk.

And the First Amendment was not written for easy speech. It was written for the speech that nobody likes you for. And, I was censored, not just by the Democratic Administration, I was censored by the Trump Administration. I was the first person censored, as the chairman pointed out, by the Biden Administration two days after he came into office.

And, by the way, they had to invent a new term called ‘mal-information’ to censor people like me. There was no misinformation on my Instagram account; everything I put on that account was cited in sourced; peer-reviewed publications or government databases. Nobody has ever pointed to a single piece of misinformation that I published.

I was removed for something they called ‘malformation.’ Malinformation is information that is true but inconvenient to the government, that they don’t want people to hear. And that’s antithetical to the values of our country.

After I announced my presidency, it became more difficult for people to censor me outright. So now I’m subject to this new form of censorship, which is called targeted propaganda, where people apply pejoratives like anti-vax. I’ve never been anti-vaccine, but everybody in this room probably believes that I have been because that’s the prevailing narrative.

Anti-Semitism, racism – these are the most appalling, disgusting pejoratives, and they’re applied to me to silence me because people don’t want me to have that conversation about the war, about groceries, about inflation, about the war on the middle class in this country – that we need to be having.

And, by the way, I want to say this while I’m on the record and under oath:

In my entire life, I have never uttered a phrase that was either racist or anti-Semitic. I have spent my life, my professional career, fighting for Israel, for the protection of Israel. I have a better record on Israel than anybody in this chamber today. I’m the only person who has publicly objected to the two billion dollar payout that the Biden administration is now making to Iran, which is a genocidal program. I’m the only one who objected to that. I fought more ferociously for Israel than anybody.

I am being censored here through this target, through smears, through misinterpretations of what I’ve said, through lies, through association, which is a tactic that we all thought we had discredited and dispensed with after the Army-McCarthy hearings in the 1950s. But those same weapons are now being deployed against me to silence me. I know many of the people who wrote this letter. I don’t believe there’s a single person who signed this letter who believes I’m anti-Semitic. I do not believe that. There is no evidence of that.

I want to say something that I think is more important, and it goes directly to what you talked about ranking member, which is the need to address the toxic polarization that is destroying our country today. How do we deal with that? This kind of division is more dangerous for our country than at any time since the American Civil War. How do we deal with that? Every Democrat on this committee believes that we need to end this polarization.

Do you think you can do that by censoring people? I’m telling you, you cannot. That only aggravates and amplifies the problem. We need to start being kind to each other. We need to start being respectful to each other. We need to restore the comity to this chamber and to the rest of America, but it has to start here.

My Uncle Edward Kennedy has more legislation with his name on it than any senator in United States history. Why is that? Because he was able to reach across the aisle because he didn’t deal in insults, because he didn’t try to censor people. He brought home people who were antithetical to what he believed in. He came home almost every weekend with people like Orrin Hatch, to our house at the compound in Hyannis Port. At that time, Orrin Hatch to me was like Darth Vader because I was an environmentalist. And, I was saying, ‘Why is Teddy bringing this guy home?’ But he was effective because he understood that comity and respect and kindness and compassion and empathy for other people is the only way to restore function in this chamber.

But, more importantly, today we need to give an example in the leadership of our country, of being respectful to each other.

If you think I said something that was anti-semitic, then let’s talk about the details. I’m telling you that all of the things that I am being accused of right now by you and in this letter are distortions, they’re misrepresentations. I didn’t say those things. There are fragments that I said. But, I denounce anybody who uses the words that I have said to imply something that is negative about people who are Jewish. I never said those things.

I want to also point out, also, that the Chairman pointed to Dennis Kucinich, who is right behind me. There is no two people in the country who feel more differently about American politics than these two people. And yet they were friends. Dennis attended his children’s basketball games, attended his daughter’s wedding.

This is how we need to start treating each other in this country. We have to stop trying to destroy each other, to marginalize, to vilify, to gaslight each other. We have to find that place inside ourselves of light, of empathy, of compassion. And, above all, we need to elevate the Constitution of the United States, which was written for hard times. And, that has to be the premiere compass for all of our activities.

Thank you very much.

[00:13:32] https://youtu.be/qIX4Ozs8R8A?t=812

Kim Iversen:

So that was a great opening statement. He was given that ten minutes, even though they tried to put the timer on him. And, of course, right after… so they tried to censor him before he gave his speech, and then they of course, they continued to try to censor him. Here is Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. She is claiming that he is going to make defamatory and degrading comments, and so she wanted to move to an executive session, which is more private. And, then Massie moves to ignore her. He moves to ignore her idea to move to a more private, executive session. He wants to continue the hearing, which is called tabling, so watch this.

[00:14:08] https://youtu.be/qIX4Ozs8R8A?t=848

Debbie Wasserman Schultz:

Mr. Chairman, Mr. Chairman, I’d like to raise a point of order. Point of order pursuant to House Rule 11, Clause 2, which Mr. Kennedy is in violation of. I move that we move into an executive session because Mr. Kennedy has repeatedly made despicable anti-Semitic and anti-Asian comments, as recently as last week.

Rule 11, Clause 2, says: ‘Whenever it is asserted by a member of the committee that the evidence or testimony at a hearing may tend to defame, degrade, or incriminate any person, or it is asserted by a witness that the evidence or testimony that the witness would give a hearing may tend to defame, degrade, or incriminate the witness…’ and it goes on.

Mr. Kennedy, among many other things, has said: ‘I know a lot now about bioweapons. We’ve put out hundreds of millions of dollars into ethnically targeted microbes. The Chinese have done the same thing. In fact, COVID-19, there is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately. The races that are most immune to COVID-19

Chairman Jordan:
Is the lady making a motion or a speech?

Debbie Wasserman Schultz:
I’ve made a motion to move into executive session because of Mr. Kennedy’s testimony.

Thomas Massie:
Mr. Chairman, I move to table motions.

Chairman Jordan:
Gentleman from Kentucky has moved to table.

Kim Iversen:
OK, so you have to watch the vote for yourself. They go back and forth about this executive session and tabling, so we’re going to skip ahead to the actual vote.

And so, the ‘yeses’ want to continue the hearing. This is their voting on Massie’s motion; he wants to table her motion. She wants to move to an executive, private session.

Thomas Massie requests to table that.

So, they now have to vote on whether or not they’re going to continue this session or move to an executive, into an executive hearing. So, the ‘yeses’ are for continuing, and the ‘no’s’, which are a bunch of Democrats, are for censoring RFK Jr. and moving to a more private hearing. Watch this:

[00:15:57] THE VOTE TO CENSOR
https://youtu.be/qIX4Ozs8R8A?t=957

[Roll call ends with 10 eyes to 8 no’s]

[17:38] https://youtu.be/qIX4Ozs8R8A?t=1058

Chairman Jordan:

The motion to table is agreed to. We will now move to our second witness.

[17:44] https://youtu.be/qIX4Ozs8R8A?t=1064

Kim Iversen:

OK, so again, the rule that they’re citing, that all those Democrats who said that they wanted to move to an executive session, the rule that they’re citing is that they believe that RFK Jr is going to make defamatory, derogatory, and degrading statements. So, they’re saying he’s going to say hate speech, and that is against the rules, and so we want to move to this executive private session.

Now, I wanna play this clip to you. They’re, they, they do move on with this hearing, and Stacy Plaskett, now if you remember her, she is the representative from the US Virgin Islands. She’s the one who sent Matt Taibbi a letter basically saying that you have perjured yourself and you could potentially serve time in jail for perjury.

And she was very much one of the, her and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, were very much attacking Matt Taibbi and and Michael Shellenberger (for their reporting on the Twitter files). So much more of the same here. Obviously, what they’re here to talk about is completely lost on her. You know, there you have RFK junior saying, ‘we’ve got to get back to you know a better place in politics. We have to hear each other out. Censoring is not helping us. It’s depolarizing the country. This is just not a good thing.’ And that is obviously, the entire idea, is completely lost on her. This is a little snippet of what she had to say:

[00:19:02] https://youtu.be/qIX4Ozs8R8A?t=1142

Stacy Plaskett

But more importantly, again, I go back to just the fact that we are creating a platform for these, for this kind of discussion. Not about the censorship, not about free speech, but the content of some of that speech that we are amplifying in this room.

Kim Iversen

‘I can’t believe we’re platform forming these people and amplifying this speech,’ so she’s saying what we need to censor, we should be censoring. She also later went on to say, by the way, that she’s appalled that her Republican colleagues intentionally chose to elevate this rhetoric, to give these harmful, dangerous views a platform in the halls of the United States Congress.

She said, ‘There’s no doubt as to why they’re making the choice. It’s not to guard free speech or to ensure equality for all. All of this is to show us by their conduct over and over again that any attack on Joe Biden to get Donald Trump back in the White House is what they need to do.’ That was what she was claiming here.

Now, I hate to subject you to this, but I have to. I am so sorry. I have to subject you to this, but this is Debbie Wasserman-Schultz attacking RFK junior and basically misrepresenting his comments that he had made that really made a lot of headlines, claiming that he was saying that COVID was bioengineered to help Jews and Chinese and go after whites and Africans. And, and I’m sorry, I have to subject you to this. Watch this, I’m sorry:

[20:31] https://youtu.be/qIX4Ozs8R8A?t=1231

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz

[She repeatedly attacks RFK Jr without giving him a chance to respond. It’s truly despicable behavior.}

[24:06] https://youtu.be/qIX4Ozs8R8A?t=1446

Kim Iversen:

OK, I’m sorry I had to subject you to that. She is just cringe. Oh man, oh man, oh… I don’t know how these meetings don’t just break out into all out brawls. It feels like they should. She obviously mischaracterized everything that she, that he said. And the last thing that she was going over was when he spoke at the anti-mandate rally in Washington DC, he mentioned that Anne Frank could at least hide and that people that were hiding from mandates, it wasn’t as easy to hide because of basically digital Big Brother is what he was talking about. He’s talking about the digital era and the spying and the cameras and the checks and, you know, the digital vaccine IDs that you would have to have. All of those things. So, obviously very much mischaracterizing it.

But here’s Thomas Massie to the rescue. He shows up, you know he’s the scientist that went to MIT, and he introduces the studies that RFK Jr referenced and he introduces these into congressional record. Watch this.

[25:03]

https://youtu.be/qIX4Ozs8R8A?t=1503

Thomas Massie

‘I ask unanimous consent to introduce into the record to study that Mister Kennedy just referenced: “New Insights into Genetic Susceptibility of COVID-19.” The main body said that they investigated genetic susceptibility to COVID-19 by examining DNA polymorphism in ACE2 and TMPRSS2, those are receptors for COVID, in 81,000 human genomes, And they found unique genetic susceptibility across different populations. I have another document that I would like to ask unanimous consent with objection to submit and this is from the FDA. “FDA review of efficacy and safety Pfizer by antech COVID-19 vaccine.” This is dated December 10th, 2020 and it shows that the Pfizer trial and the USDA broke down the effectiveness of the vaccine into seven different racial categories because this was also a concern of theirs and it would frankly be delinquent not to study the effects across different racial categories,

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz:

But, Mr. Kennedy said it was bioengineered to target on Caucasians and spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people. That is different…

[26:18]

Kim Iversen:

It seems like there should be able to be maybe a lawsuit there, like a slander lawsuit, for RFK Jr against Debbie Wasserman-Schultz because she’s not quoting him. She is summarizing with her own spin as to what he said. It’d be one thing if she quoted him directly but she’s instead spinning it making claims and, you know, that he actually did not make.

There was a lot of other testimony like I said. There were two other witnesses, the woman that reported on Hunter Biden’s laptop for the New York Post and also one of the attorneys in the Missouri vs. Biden free speech, the social media censorship case. But in the interest of time, we just don’t have time to play those clips. But they did a really great job as well testifying.

I do want to play for you, however, a couple of clips from Wiley. She is the one who is the one that Democrats brought in. Maya Wiley, she’s a civil rights attorney, and here is a civil rights attorney essentially arguing on behalf of Democrats that censorship is something that should happen for the protection of people. And this is always the excuse they use as we must censor because if we don’t censor then we’re going to be infringing on the rights of others because others are going to be harmed or others are going to feel bad or they’re going to be targeted and that infringes on their rights and so therefore we need to protect those rights by taking rights away from other people. And that’s essentially the argument that Democrats make by and large.

But here’s the clip of Representative Stewart asking her if she agrees with whether or not, whether or not she thinks the government should be in charge of this. So watch this clip.

[27:59] https://youtu.be/qIX4Ozs8R8A?t=1679

Mr Stewart:

Do you agree the government shouldn’t be responsible for restricting views that the American people are exposed to? We agree on that, right? You wouldn’t answer it at first but it’s clear that you do agree with that.

Ms Wiley:

That’s a different question.

Mr Stewart:

OK, so to my question, do you agree with that or not?

Ms Wiley:

I agree that the government should not violate our constitution.

Mr Stewart:

Do you agree with my question?

Ms Wiley:

Your question is…

Mr Stewart:

This is so simple.

Ms Wiley:

It is not so simple.

Mr Stewart:

So I’m gonna ask you one time and it is so simple, a 7th grader could understand this question. Should the government be responsible for the views and the facts that the American people are exposed to?

Ms Wiley:

The problem I have is that I don’t know any facts in which the government…

Mr Stewart:

You’re unable to answer question which for me is fairly shocking as an American citizen.

Kim Iversen:

Really shocking. It’s shocking that we have now devolved into a society where people believe that it’s for the greater good to censor. That is antithetical to the United States Constitution, to what we stand for. When governments get involved and start censoring because they believe it’s for the best interest of the people, that is what so many dictators around the world do. That’s why they do it. They do it because they think, ‘Well, this is for your own good. I must, it’s for your own good.’ And it is so dangerous. That is not the country that we want to be living in.

And here’s Jim Jordan making that point about the good old days. Remember the good old days of the ACLU? Watch this.

[29:34] https://youtu.be/qIX4Ozs8R8A?t=1774

Jim Jordan:

Ms Wiley you were a lawyer for the ACLU?

Ms Wiley:

I was.

Jim Jordan:

Mr. Kennedy, I remember when the ACLU defended the First Amendment. They were the champions of the First Amendment. Do you remember that? Do you remember that ACLU?

RFK Jr:

I remember when the ACLU represented Nazis who they who they were appalled by.

Jim Jordan:

Appalled, disgusted by and yet they would defend the crazy things they said right? That that’s how much the First Amendment meant to them, right?

RFK Jr:

Exactly.

[30:00] https://youtu.be/qIX4Ozs8R8A?t=1800

Kim Iversen:

Exactly. I remember those good old days as well. I remember being a young elementary school student in the state of Idaho, where there was literally a neo-Nazi camp and a bunch of neo-Nazis in the state, and everybody was very much against them. They wanted to have a parade, and they were allowed to have the parade. No one went to the parade that they were allowed to have.

I remember asking this question of my father, of my teachers: ‘Why are we allowing this?’ You know, all of us young kids sitting there appalled that Nazis would be allowed to march in a parade in our streets. And they said to us, ‘Because of the First Amendment, they’re allowed. They have their free speech rights. We might not like it. We don’t have to go to their parade, but they’re allowed to do it because of the First Amendment.’

And we, little children, not understanding, very much like Maya Wiley, clearly not understanding, reverting into our little like lizard brain emotions and saying, ‘You know what, we shouldn’t allow this. You know, as children, where are we? We shouldn’t allow this. This is wrong. This is terrible. This is bad.’

And the adults who had better insight than we did as children, the adults who understood the importance of free speech, said, ‘We know, kids. We know that this is appalling. We know it’s abhorrent. We know that we don’t agree with this, but we must allow it because you don’t want the government stepping in and silencing you, thinking that, because they determine from their morals that you’re wrong, because one day it’s going to be you. If it’s them today, it’ll be you tomorrow, and you don’t want it to be you tomorrow.’

And the great state of Idaho protected the free speech of those neo-Nazis. I know a lot of people want to look at Idaho as a red state, ‘Oh, well they supported it.’ No, we did not. Nobody in the state of Idaho supported that. But they were allowed because Idahoans supported free speech.

And it’s appalling that these days, and I get it, I get the emotions. I get you. You feel like, ‘I’m doing this for the greater good. We have to protect. But we must. It’s going to hurt people’s feelings, or what have other people agree, and they join in.’

And you know, those parades did not swell. Those parades did not get larger. People did not join in on those neo-Nazis. In fact, they went away. We allowed them to march the streets, and ultimately, everybody ignored them, and they went away.

You cannot be afraid of bad ideas, thinking that your fellow Americans are going to be sucked into those ideas. You have to have faith that you’ve given them a good education, that you’ve taught people, and that people can make up their own minds. You have to believe that your fellow Americans are not idiots. I mean, but you know, a lot of people, they don’t believe that. They believe that their fellow Americans are idiots. They believe that they must tell them what to do, otherwise, they’re going to make bad decisions.

And that is, unfortunately, where we’re at with so many in the government right now, and so many of our leaders. I mean, to hear our leaders defending censorship, that is something that little children are supposed to be doing because they’re emotional and they can’t understand it, not our congressional leaders. But this is where we’re at today, and it is very dangerous.

We are on a dangerous path right now with censoring ideas, good and bad. None of them should be censored, no matter how much we want to. So, good for Robert F. Kennedy Junior for saying his peace, for Jim Jordan and for Republicans for inviting him and others to talk about the censorship that is going on in our government and in our society.

And we’ll hope that something comes of this. Not sure what can come from it, but awareness, awareness and people rallying behind the fact that they do not want censorship in our society. I think it’s ultimately a good thing.




Leaders Unite at European Parliament To Urge the Entire World to Resist the WHO’s Pandemic Treaty (Power Grab)

Source: Oracle Films

On July 4, 2023, leaders from multiple countries met at the European Parliament in Brussels to voice their concerns about the WHO’s pandemic treaty and urge the citizens of the world to resist it.

The World Health Organization’s pandemic treaty grants excessive power to unelected bureaucrats, posing a threat to human rights and freedom, and citizens must unite to challenge and resist these restrictions.

TRANSCRIPT

Lewis Brackpool:

This is Louis Brackpool reporting for Grit News in collaboration with Oracle Films. Today, as you can see, I’m here in Brussels at the European Parliament, where seven representatives of their respective countries are banding together to challenge the World Health Organization on their pandemic treaty.

The World Health Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations, responsible for international public health. It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, and for those who are unaware, the pandemic treaty is a proposed international agreement. And, in the eyes of the WHO, they look to quote ‘strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response’.

Some are arguing that this international agreement will grant unelected bureaucrats unprecedented power to enforce harsher, stricter lockdowns than before, along with mask mandates and various other restrictions. So, I’m here to report on what these representatives are saying and arguing against the WHO.

Mislav Kolakusic (Croatia):

Today is an important day for the future – the future of European citizens and the whole world. After three years of hard censorship, I am very pleased that we have an opportunity to discuss the problems with the World Health Organization in this Parliament.

We want to start a public discussion and public action with our citizens. The World Health Organization is demanding that all countries surrender authority to declare pandemics and procure so-called vaccines into their hands.

Virginie Joron (France):

This global organization therefore tacitly validates the failure of the European Union in terms of management of the pandemic and vaccination policy, with a flagrant lack of transparency, conflicts of interest, and draconian measures linked to the health pass.

Ivan Vilibor Sincic (Croatia):

WHO has failed humanity in the COVID crisis and must be held accountable. They have trampled on human rights and medical ethics and behaved more like a public relation agency for the pharmaceutical companies. WHO is corrupt and it is more corrupt the higher in the hierarchy, in the organization’s structure, you go. Many of the employees, including top jobs, are linked to private interests following the principle of revolving doors.

Cristian Terhes (Romania):

The biggest threat that we are facing right now is the threat to our national sovereignty, to the supremacy of our constitutions, and implicitly unfortunately to our fundamental rights, because if all of these powers that were granted through our constitutions to our national institutions as our authorities, will be handed over to a global institution that is not accountable to anybody, and is led by people who are not elected by us as citizens, then we are done – without rights.

Justyana Walker (Poland):

The main thing about today is that what we really, really want is for people to understand that we cannot move and be heard if we don’t do it together.  We as citizens decided to use the ECI, which is the European Citizens’ Initiative, as a tool to be publicly recognized and finally heard. The European Citizens’ Initiative, as my colleague Philippe has said prior, was introduced with the Treaty of Lisbon in 2007. It was inspired by Switzerland and its existing direct democracy tools. It aims at increasing direct democracy by allowing EU citizens to participate in the development of EU policies.

Nowadays, we are hearing more frequently that the European Parliament and the European Commission see the disconnect between the people and the institutions, and yet they proceed to listen to these self-elected representatives, such as the Director-General of the WHO, or the head of a non-profit organization such as the World Economic Forum. This continuous curbing of freedom and loss of trust is the reason why we want to introduce the Trust and Freedom Initiative.

Thanks to the tremendous work of our team that includes not only doctors, lawyers, and activists, but also us as mothers and fathers, people from different walks of life, we will be putting forward our ECI, the European Citizens’ Initiative, to the European Commission within the coming weeks.

Dr. Maria Hubmer-Bogg (Austria):

This is something that is really big. I think we will collect easily, easily over a million signatures. It’s not only that people see how many we are, it’s that people have something in their hands that they can literally use to challenge their regional politicians. It’s bringing this uniting effort that we would not have with the petition in just one country.

Phillip Kruse (Switzerland):
This is the most dangerous aspect in the past three years: it was the violation of the integrity of our body, our right of self-determination, to make our own choice regarding what kind of medication we want to apply. And we want to do it based on accurate and correct information. And this is why we are here today. There was no protection of this most personal, most vulnerable aspect of our life in the past, and there will be none in the future if we don’t act today.

Mattias Desmet (Belgium):

We really are at risk in our society to relapse from a democratic system into a new kind of totalitarianism, a kind of technocratic new totalitarianism. And I think that for instance, the new treaty of the WHO is a major leap forward in this direction.

Alexander Christ (Germany):

I reject the idea that in the future, not only actual diseases but a mix of data analysis, computer models, artificial intelligence and test results should justify risk assessment at the discretion of the World Health Organization.

Andrew Bridgen (UK):

The Global Pandemic Treaty and the amendments to the International Health Regulations will allow the WHO to declare a public health emergency of international concern, a PHEIC abbreviated, and not only when to call it but how long it would last, and when it would be over. And I suspect that it would be a very long time before we had democracy returned to our independent parliaments.

I call on every elected representative around the world to resist these WHO power grabs. Our work with the European Union, our work with these MPs, we have the same goal which is to protect our citizens’ human rights and all of humanity. And if we can stop it here, then so be it. I know that we will be on the right side of history. I want history written pretty quickly because we need to get over this. It’s been a very dark chapter in human history.

The politics of right and left has gone. It’s now the politics of right and wrong, good and evil. 

Fiona Hine (UK):

Secondly, I call upon the citizens of the world to unite in their respective countries as we will do in ours, and across all continents of the world, and to tell those citizens that you do have a choice. You have the power to affect change and you have a voice, so use it. Now, we must work together to stand against this power grab and at the very least, raise mass awareness, encourage and demonstrate mass non-compliance. You have a choice not to choose their new normal. Thank you.

Lewis Brackpool:

The event also featured virtual contributions from Pastor Artur Pawlowski from Canada, and doctors David Martin and Peter McCullough from the United States.

NOTE: Calgary pastor Artur Pawlowski is currently facing 10 years in prison for delivering a sermon during the 2022 Freedom Convoy in which he encouraged truckers to continue blocking the Canada-U.S. border. Nathaniel Pawlowski (the next speaker) spoke on behalf of his father

Nathaniel Pawlowski (Canada):

I would like to stand here and tell you all the things about freedom and democracy that I like, but I no longer know those things. They have been taken away from us Canadians. Canada has fallen. We no longer have freedom of religion, or freedom of speech, or the right to protest, or assemble, or associate, or express ourselves, or have free media, or disagree with the government. Anyone who does so is arrested, charged, and jailed as political dissidents.

Nick Hudson (co-founder of Pandemics – Data and Analytics, also known as PANDA):

We know both in theory and in practice that centralization causes nothing but misery because it destroys the mechanisms of error correction, leading to doubling down on flawed policies. And it cannot do otherwise, especially not in the highly centralized institutions that have been captured by these hubristic people.

History is replete with examples of tyrants enamored of their centralizing visions, believing each time that they hold some perspective or some asset that their predecessors lacked. Today, it is the false belief that access to more data and bigger computers will mean that this time is different, but it isn’t different. People still make mistakes, and when those who amassed great power and control do so, the results are disastrous.

Christine Anderson (Germany):

I am really, really glad that finally, people stand up and came forward. I really hope that this initiative will be successful and, at the very least, it will hopefully wake up the people to what’s really going on. Like I said, we are talking about freedom, democracy, and the rule of law, and we are about to be stripped of all of that. I do whatever I can to fight them.

Justyana Walker (Poland):

This is what we need: we need everybody’s voice, and without that voice as an individual voice and collective voice, we will not be able to succeed. So we want to show the unity and how many of us there are.

Christine Anderson (Germany):

We are here today to tell you, WHO globalitarian misanthropists, we are here today to tell you, you picked this fight, you wanted this fight. Well, guess what? You’ve got it. Let’s fight.

Because these brave citizens, my colleagues and I, we will not tire to fight you every step of the way. These brave seven citizens and millions and millions more around the world, these are the people you will have to reckon with from now on because we are millions. Millions around the world. It is you that is the small fringe minority. You are the ones who do not have the right to dictate to the people what they want and what they don’t want. So take it from me, take it from us, take it from these seven citizens who gathered here today, take it from the millions and millions of people around the world. We will bring you down! And we will not tire until we have done just that.

Lewis Brackpool:

So there you have it. We’ve wrapped up the speeches from the MEPs and the international speakers here in Brussels, where many of them are making their voices heard against the pandemic treaty. It’s safe to say, from the speeches and from what they’ve been saying to me, that they are sick and tired of unelected bureaucrats encroaching on everyday people’s lives. This has been Lewis Brackpool, reporting in Brussels, the European Parliament, for Grit News in collaboration with Oracle Films. Thank you.

Humans Have NO Freaking Clue How the World Actually Works or How To Fix It | Charles Eisenstein

Charles Eisenstein - Earth - Nature

Source: Charles Eisenstein

In this interview with Derek Loudermilk, Charles Eisenstein delves into the interconnectedness of nature, the limitations of human knowledge, and the importance of embracing alternative ways of understanding the world. Charles calls for a shift in how humans perceive and interact with the world, advocating for greater openness to the interconnectedness of nature, acknowledging the limitations of human knowledge, and embracing alternative ways of understanding that can guide meaningful actions toward planetary healing.

Watch the complete interview HERE.

TRANSCRIPT

Derek:

You have lots of fun analogies, but I like this, like thinking of a person almost as like a light particle that can sort of choose its own path because it reduces the weight it reduces the mass of our choices to some extent, I want to share a little story that came up for me that I was reminded of when I was starting to think about the story of interbeing. And, also in Bali, we were talking earlier about – about being in Bali. I went up to the highlands there in the – it’s actually right at the edge of the botanic garden, where the sort of place where nobody can get to because the jungle is so dense.

There’s a tree: it’s 800, a thousand years old. And I had my first sort of magical experience touching the tree. And my Consciousness was projected to another part of the world. And what was expressed to me was this tree was like Hey, I’m worried about this forest in China that’s becoming a desert, and I think you need to look at your own relationship with nature. And I was almost given a mission by this magical tree to bring more people into nature – that it was like you need to remember that you are also nature.

Charles: Yes

Derek:

But the simple fact that a tree on this continent was worried about trees on a different continent – it was like I’m not worried about this jungle because we have all the water we need and like nobody comes here,. But it was like, this other place has me feeling sad. And I was like, first, the fact that a tree is communicating with me this way was unique to me. But then also the sense of like that time and space didn’t matter to the concern expressed here:

Charles:

Yeah like all the stuff, all this philosophy we’re talking about – interbeing, separation, and so forth – it pales in importance compared to the kind of experience you’re talking about right now.

What you described is, in a way. I always call it a medicine story. It reveals just how little we know about how this world actually works. If you ask somebody, how do we fix it, are they drawing on the kind of knowledge that that tree represents? Do they have that way of understanding what’s happening…

Like, how does that tree, first, for one thing, how does it communicate with you? How does it know what’s happening in China? There’s like a whole other intelligence network that operates on this Earth that is almost entirely invisible, not to human beings, but invisible to human beings who have been acculturated to the reductionistic force-based causality of modern science, and the built environment, the economic environment that goes along with it. And the technological environment, the screens, for example. All that stuff.

We become very perceptive in a certain way, our minds, our cognition, develop to a high degree in a certain way. And in that tunnel vision, we lose touch with so many other capacities that we can then rediscover as a gift from other species or even from other human beings who have not been so acculturated.

This maybe goes back to the Einstein quote, you know. If we’re going to transform, if we’re going to be part of a planetary transformation and healing, we have to access those other capacities: the things that are not valued or even acknowledged to exist in the world story that we’ve grown up in.

We have to learn how, it’s not only learning how to communicate with trees. We have to do it. We already actually know how. You can take the, you know, most urbanized noob out into the rainforest, and they can have a mystical experience like that. This is an innate human capacity. The key to it is to accept that it is possible. Once you accept that it is possible, then you’re going to try.

Like, I get information by watching and listening to geese.

They fly – there’s a lot of them here in Rhode Island. They fly overhead all the time and they’re honking. You know? But, now, why are they honking so much as they’re flying?

The Darwinian, reductionistic evolutionary, biologists would be like well, okay, why are they wasting all that energy? Flying is pretty tiring. Are they signaling dominance? Like, what are they doing? You know?

Other interpretations do not occur to that mind: that they are channeling the joy of life and they cannot hardly even contain it; that they love the sound of their voice and they love listening to each other. Like, there are so many things that we just don’t think of, and nor do we suspect that the pattern of their calls transmits information about where they have been and what they have heard and seen – that they are interwoven into the tapestry of all being.

So, you can listen to geese and observe geese and you will learn something about the world that you probably could not find out on the internet. You can watch fish in a pool. I mean, anything in nature. You can look at the waves on the shore and you will know something. Now, you might not be able to put it into words, but you will receive information and it might be like your experience with that tree.

You received information that made you know what to do. It transmitted: this is mine to do. Now, in this case, maybe your rational mind could have made sense of it. Well, forests are important, carbon sinks and we got to, you know, whatever.

Like your mind can make sense, but come on! That’s not what was happening. That was your mind’s justification of it, but that’s not where the information came from. That’s what we have to listen to. Why?

Because we have no freaking clue about how this world actually works or how to fix it. We cannot rely on the legacy knowledge systems that we’re operating in mostly right now.

We have to go to those other places. And it doesn’t mean that you, all of a sudden become inactive, and you’re spending all your time watching geese. It’s the contrary. You become more decisive and you can’t even explain it to anybody else. Why am I now going to China, or why am I now doing this thing?

You can’t necessarily explain it, because the terms of explanation are foreign to that way of thinking. The only explanation you could be, you could say: go spend a couple of hours watching, geese and you’ll understand.

That’s not an explanation. It’s an induction into a field of knowledge.




The Power of Intention | Greg Hammer, MD

Author: Greg Hammer, MD

A favorite quote from one of my heroes, Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, the creator of the “Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)” course is:  “Mindfulness is awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, nonjudgmentally.” [1] This could also be considered the definition of happiness, which is the one goal that each of the 8 billion of us on this planet share. It is clear that happiness exists in the only moment we ever truly experience – the present moment.

We also recognize that judgment often clouds our experience with our biases and preconceptions. Judgment prevents us from seeing and experiencing the world as it truly is. Learning to let go of our judgment is one of the keys to happiness.[2] It is easy to understand that to be happy we should shift our focus to the present moment and be less judgmental – but why does Dr. Kabat-Zinn include the phrase, “on purpose?”

Our brains have become hard-wired over tens of thousands of years to include networks that are no longer adaptive. For example, we all have a negativity bias. We tend to forget the positive and focus on the negative. We may notice an ache or pain as we awaken in the morning – that becomes the center of our attention as we begin our day. We rarely wake up and marvel at the amazing complexity of the human body, grateful that (almost) everything is working well.

It has been said that 80% of our thoughts are negative and only 20% are positive. I have worked with trainees in anesthesiology or critical care medicine who provided flawless care for a complex patient in the operating room or intensive care unit; perhaps they needed my help for one difficult procedure in a small child but did everything else skillfully. We debrief at the end of the day and I praise them for the excellent job they did, including the procedures they performed well.

As they prepare for bed that night, do they feel satisfaction at the terrific job they did at the hospital that day? Unfortunately, they all too often obsess over the one task for which they needed assistance. This is typical of our negativity bias. We all think this way. Even the most accomplished film stars, doctors, and business executives suffer from the “impostor syndrome” of negative self-judgment.

Another way our brains are wired that appears to veil our happiness is our obsession with the past and future. While it is adaptive to consider our past joyful moments and even our mistakes, to the extent that we learn from them and do not keep repeating them, we also have a tendency to overthink the past. Our negativity bias can invoke shame, regret, low self-esteem, and often depression.

Likewise, our hyperfixation on the future is also rooted in negativity. We catastrophize. We think of the worst things that can happen, even though they almost never do. These ideations lead to fear and anxiety. Perhaps our brains evolved this way 50-100,000 years ago during a time when our forebears sat in their caves wondering whether a saber-toothed tiger was lingering just outside.  Perhaps this genetic inclination towards hypervigilance was adaptive back then for the sake of survival and genetic evolution, but today we are stuck with those thought patterns, which are no longer beneficial for most of us living in relative safety.

So how do we cope with these adverse ways of thinking that distract us from the peace and joy taking place in our present moment? It takes a plan – it requires purposefulness. It calls for our often hidden power of intention.

The good news is that our brains have a magical quality called neuroplasticity. We have the ability to actually change the way our brains are wired for the better. We can redirect our thoughts toward the present moment and prioritize a more optimistic and positive outlook. In order to do so, however, we need a plan. We have to be intentional. Without purposefulness, we will inevitably lapse into to our old ways of thinking – gloomy and distracted.

Let’s have a look at one practice that can be done in as little as 3 minutes a day that is proven to gradually reprogram the way we think and experience. The GAIN practice embraces mindful breathing and contemplative meditation.

It is logical to think, “Of course, I am breathing all day and all night – why do I need to be intentional about breathing?” The answer is simple – we can go days without taking a deep, lung-opening breath. Chronic stress causes tension in the breathing muscles in our chest and abdomen. Our breaths may be shallow and constrained for days on end. This causes the tiny air sacs in our lungs, called alveoli, to collapse – especially those at the bottom portion of our lungs. This condition is called atelectasis, and it limits the amount of oxygen that we extract from the air, leaving our brains and other organs deprived of optimal oxygen supply.

In fact, slow, deep, intentional breathing has another benefit – it activates our parasympathetic nervous system. This is the part of our nervous system that keeps the sympathetic nervous system, responsible for the “fight or flight” response, in check. Activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, through purposeful, slow, deep, breathing lowers the amount of adrenaline and cortisol in our bodies. This causes our heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar to drop to healthier levels. All this takes is tapping into our power of intention.

Many people think that meditation means sitting perfectly still for a half hour or more while banishing all thoughts from our brains. This is not true! The GAIN meditation not only takes as little as 3 minutes, but encourages us to focus on a self-guided tour of essential thoughts. The 4 elements represented by the acronym GAIN are Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Nonjudgment.2 Why these 4 components? Because they are the essence of happiness. These 4 ingredients are embodied by almost all religious and philosophical traditions – for good reason.

Let’s have a look at the GAIN practice. We begin by opening the blinds upon awakening each morning, letting in the natural light. We find a comfortable place to sit and close our eyes. To augment the meditation, we may initiate soothing sounds with a gong or singing bowl – or perhaps several that resonate in harmony. We focus on the breath, inhaling through the nose to a slow count of 3, pausing to a count of 3, and exhaling to a count of 4. We breathe into our abdomen, pause, and let the breath go without effort.

We begin to contemplate that for which we experience Gratitude – our relative health (perhaps not perfect, but it sure could be worse), safety and warmth of our home, our loving relationships with friends and family. We connect these positive thoughts with our breathing.

We transition to Acceptance, acknowledging that pain is as much an intrinsic part of our experience as joy. We focus on a painful or uncomfortable experience – perhaps the loss of a loved one or precious friendship. We bring this pain closer and closer. We imagine opening our chest and our heart, bringing this pain closer and embracing and nurturing it with our heart.

We discover that the pain is not as bad as we imagined, and that we can live with it. We then concentrate on our Intention. We might focus on our present sensations – the pressure of the chair against our body, the softness of the air we breathe, the tingling sensation on the bottom of our feet. We stay there for 5 or 10 seconds, linking this present moment with our breath. We may gradually lengthen this “present sensation” experience each day by a few seconds, training our minds to be right here right now.

One baby step at a time. We confirm our Intention of being more positive and more present throughout the day. Finally, we contemplate Nonjudgment. We might picture a beautiful NASA image of the Earth apparently suspended in space. We recognize that the earth is simply a planet – it is neither good nor bad. It is simply the planet that it is. It is only logical, then, to acknowledge that we are just human beings – we, too, are neither good nor bad. We are simply the human beings that we are.

We silently pronounce, “I am neither good nor bad. There is no judgment. I am simply the person that I am. ” We may then repeat “I am, I am….” as we link this phrase to the slow, deep breath we enjoy. We then slowly open our eyes – we are ready to go out into the world. We may complete the GAIN meditation by sounding the gong or singing bowl once more.

Something remarkable happens as we embrace this GAIN process. Increasingly, a light bulb illuminates within us when we are being ungrateful, resisting, lacking purpose and sinking into our old habits, or judging others or ourselves. We recognize the old thought patterns, have a bit of a laugh to ourselves, and re-focus on Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Nonjudgment.

Embracing the GAIN practice represents our purposefulness to gradually re-wire our brains. This will happen if we sit each morning and focus our intention on the breath and these 4 essential elements. We will experience the benefits almost immediately. Perhaps we are driving to work after our morning meditation and another driver on our right moves into our lane without using their turn signal; we begin to form judgments about this person and a light bulb goes off reminding us of our intention to be nonjudgmental. We smile to ourselves – we actually get a little hit of dopamine, creating a pleasant sensation rather than a negative one.

All it takes is a plan to employ our power of intention.

Through the Quantum Looking Glass: How Consciousness Creates Our Reality

By Archana Raghuram | Temples Books and Science YouTube Channel

Consciousness plays a crucial role in quantum physics, as proven by experiments that show particles do not exist until observed by a conscious observer. The power of consciousness is vast and unimaginable. In this thought-provoking video, Archana Raghuram delves into the question of what is an observer and how the behavior of particles is connected to the behavior of an ‘observer’. She brilliantly explains it with a simple and relatable, everyday analogy.

Video Summary With Timestamps

  • 00:00 An observer in quantum physics is not an inanimate detector or measuring device, but rather a conscious entity, as proven by several experiments that failed to rule out the role of consciousness in bringing particles into existence.
  • 01:45 A particle is like a ghost in a haunted house, formless and undefined until observed, and physicists are like ghost hunters trying to determine its true nature.
  • 03:00 A ghost takes on a human form only when observed by a conscious observer, as proven by a ghost hunter’s failed attempts to capture the ghost on camera.
  • 04:27 A Ghost Hunter and a time traveler make a plan to capture the image of a ghost by having the time traveler go back in time to see the ghost’s previous form, which cannot be altered.
  • 05:31 A ghost takes on a human form even when not observed because it knows someone will observe it in the future, which raises questions about particles that can look into the future and change their behavior as if time did not exist.
  • 06:57 A particle does not exist until it is observed by a conscious Observer, who has the ability to indirectly reduce its presence and can change its behavior based on future observations.
  • 08:03 Scientists overcame the influence of their intentions on entangled particles in an experiment, using light from distant quasars to determine how a particle would be measured, proving quantum physics’ revelations on consciousness and winning the Nobel Prize for physics.
    • Scientists had to consider the influence of their intentions on entangled particles in an experiment, which was a stumbling block in proving the theory of quantum physics’ revelations on consciousness.
    • Scientists at MIT used light from distant quasars to determine how a particle would be measured, eliminating the possibility of their thoughts and intentions interfering with the experiment, and this experiment won the Nobel Prize for physics.
  • 10:33 Consciousness impacts reality, only conscious observers can bring particles into existence, entangled particles mirror each other instantaneously, and the power of consciousness is vast and unimaginable according to quantum physics.
    • Consciousness has a profound impact on reality, as only a conscious observer can bring a particle into existence, entangled particles can mirror each other instantaneously, and the intention and actions of the observer can change the past behavior of a particle, leading quantum physics to conclude that the universe is not real and that the power of consciousness is vast and unimaginable.
    • The fundamental question of who or what is an observer and the existence of consciousness outside of human beings will be examined in the next post, along with scientific theories and their alignment with ancient philosophy.



“We were duped” – Doctors Express Anger Towards the CDC and WHO for Their COVID Lies and Are Organizing Under the Global Health Project

Source: The Jimmy Dore Show

CLN EDITOR NOTE: There is strong evidence that a new phony pandemic is being planned. The director of the World Health Organization recently warned: “When the next pandemic comes knocking – and it will – we must be ready to answer decisively, collectively, and equitably.” See:

WHO Director-General Tedros Warns World To Prepare For An Even Deadlier Disease Than Covid And Pandemic That ‘Will’ Come ‘Knocking’

Doctors who were duped and betrayed by the CDC, FDA and World Health Organization (WHO) are now organizing under the Global Health Project to push back against the authorities that lied about the pandemic, masks, lockdowns and alternative treatments – so that it does NOT happen again.

Dr. Kat Lindley co-founded the Global Health Project to amplify those voices and ensure that the kind of mass hysteria and misinformation peddled by elite institutions never happens again.

Jimmy Dore speaks with Dr. Lindley about her program and the Global Health Project’s efforts to encourage physicians to raise their voices and restore faith in medical professionals.

1.1 Doctors from around the world, who were originally deceived by the COVID narrative, have formed an International Watchdog Coalition and are speaking out against the CDC and WHO, stating that they are corrupt and not acting in the best interest of the public.
1.2 Dr. Kat Lindley, founder of the Global Health Project, discusses the importance of investigating the truth behind the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for human connection, while also highlighting the potential for future health emergencies.
1.3 Health professionals have lost trust in government agencies like the FDA and CDC due to their failure to provide accurate information during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a broken system and a lack of critical thinking among physicians.

2. 03:40 Doctors are angry about CDC and WHO’s COVID lies, lost trust due to inconsistencies in guidelines, patients being abandoned, scared to seek medical help, and laws criminalizing their ability to create their own protocols to treat COVID controlled by Big Pharma through the government, creating a coalition to push back against it.
2.1 Doctors are angry about the CDC and WHO’s COVID lies, as they followed a narrative that told patients to stay home until they can’t breathe and then go to the ER, and lost focus on serving and taking care of patients.
2.2 Doctors have lost trust in the CDC and WHO due to inconsistencies in their COVID-19 guidelines, leading to patients being abandoned and scared to seek medical help.
2.3 Doctors are angry about laws criminalizing their ability to create their own protocols to treat COVID, which they believe is controlled by Big Pharma through the government, and are creating a coalition to push back against it.

3. 07:08 Doctors and regular people have lost trust in the broken system of the CDC and WHO during the pandemic, and it is now their job to restore trust and for patients to take charge of their own lives and ask questions.
3.1 Doctors and regular people have lost trust in the broken system of the CDC and WHO during the pandemic, and it is now their job to restore trust and for patients to take charge of their own lives and ask questions.
3.2 Doctors are angry about the CDC and WHO’s COVID lies, and believe that we need to have a conversation about not blindly accepting recommendations, as the science now proves that masking and lockdowns have negative effects, and speaking up against these measures can result in being smeared and slandered, with YouTube guidelines prohibiting any statements that go against the WHO, which is funded by Bill Gates.

4. 09:43 Bill Gates’ influence on global healthcare policy and investment in the COVID vaccine, along with the unscientific lockdowns, have led to censorship and anger among doctors.
4.1 Bill Gates, who funds the WHO and is its richest funder, is dictating global healthcare policy despite not having a college degree, and his influence is leading to censorship by Google-owned YouTube.
4.2 Bill Gates invested $55 million in the COVID vaccine, made $500 million, and then criticized the vaccine’s effectiveness after cashing in his stock, while the lockdowns went against all science and were never recommended before COVID.

5. 11:32 Medical professionals expose the corruption of WHO and their billionaire leader invested in new COVID treatment, urging individuals to take charge of their health, finances, education, and faith to restore trust and protect bodily autonomy.
5.1 Medical professionals are blowing the whistle on the corruption of the WHO and their billionaire leader who is invested in a new COVID treatment, with some having been vocal about this for years.
5.2 Individuals need to take charge of their health, finances, education, and faith, and push back against the global masterminds who have hijacked healthcare for their own political and financial gain, in order to restore trust between patients and physicians and create their own communities.
5.3 Bodily autonomy is a value that should not be infringed upon by the state without complete informed consent, as stated in the Nuremberg Code.

6. 14:18 The vaccine mandates were built on a lie as the CDC and WHO never tested to see if the vaccine stopped transmission or contraction of the virus, and those who spoke out against it were smeared as conspiracy theorists, while the news business is corrupted by big Pharma cash.

7. 15:44 Doctors express anger over loss of freedom and emphasize the importance of discussing everything to prevent future COVID-19-like events, while regular people can get involved in the Global Health Project by visiting their website and sharing videos.
