Top FDA vaccine officials RESIGN to avoid prosecution for crimes against humanity as White House, CDC commit GENOCIDE

It’s fascinating that two senior FDA officials who have overseen decades of mass vaccinations have now finally reached the end of their tolerance for crimes against humanity. They resigned earlier this week, citing the astonishing fact that the White House, CDC and UN have conspired to lock the FDA out of vaccine approval decisions, bypassing FDA regulatory authority and pushing vaccines for political reasons that have no scientific basis. (FDA director Woodcock is on board with the crimes, of course, which is why she’s fraudulently issuing personal letters to “approve” vaccines, bypassing the rest of the FDA’s regulatory process.)
Apparently, the outrageous vaccine fraud now being committed by the Biden regime was too much for even lifelong FDA vaccine advocates.
Now, Dr. Marion Gruber, director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s vaccines office, and her deputy, Dr. Philip Krause have both resigned, accusing the White House and CDC of pushing booster shots without supporting data. But a more informed analysis of the timing of their resignations arrives at the conclusion that they know about the criminal indictments that are coming against the genocidal vaccine mass murderers, and they want no part in the post-vaccine “Nuremberg 2.0” trials that will indict and prosecute hundreds of former government officials for their role in crimes against humanity.
After the Nuremberg trials following World War II, several scientists and doctors were sentenced to death for their role in the coordinated mass murder of six million Jews. Today, the CDC, White House, UN and vaccine makers are trying to mass murder billions of human beings.
CHD reports:
Gruber and Krause were upset about the Biden administration’s recent announcement that adults should get a COVID booster eight months after they received a second shot, people familiar with the decision told The New York Times.
Neither believed there was enough data to justify offering booster shots yet, the sources said, and both viewed the announcement, amplified by President Biden, as pressure on the FDA to quickly authorize them.

When I first started writing for Wealth Daily (more than five years ago),I saw a major artificial intelligence (AI) trend, especially within the technology and medicine sectors. I was constantly reading articles about the potential benefits that this technology was going to bring to a variety of sectors and the impact it was set to have on the global economy. It was exciting reading all about the potential of this technology.
I knew that the potential that was being talked about wasn’t going to be lost. That the next decade was going to be huge for AI and that most likely this was just the starting point. It’s been a while since I talked about artificial intelligence — mainly because those articles started to die down or I started reading the same thing over and over. Then other topics emerged within the markets and current events sort of shifted the conversation.
While the conversation did somewhat shift, companies were still investing in artificial intelligence and working more closely with the technology. It wasn’t going away — rather, it seems it was just getting a little bit of fine-tuning and companies were getting a better understanding of the technology and some of the possibilities that we could actually start to see very soon.
Some of those major players within the artificial intelligence realm include Google, IBM, Baidu, Microsoft, Apple, IPsoft, Nvidia, Samsung Electronics, and MicroStrategy. Some of them were advancing and investing in AI when we were hearing those murmurs years ago about the technology’s potential and how it could be extremely useful and profitable.
AI Is Growing Stronger and Stronger
According to a report from Research and Markets, the global artificial intelligence market is expected to grow from $40.17 billion in 2020 to $51.56 billion in 2021, which represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.4%. That is a massive amount of growth in one year. That same report indicates that the global market is expected to reach $171.02 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 35%.
This massive growth within the market can be attributed to those major players investing in AI technologies or AI startups. The Research and Markets report mentions that Microsoft has invested around $1 billion in OpenAI, a San Francisco-based company. OpenAI and Microsoft’s partnerships aim to develop AI supercomputing technologies on Microsoft’s cloud, Azure.
AI Helping Detect COVID-19
AI is also paving the way for breakthroughs in research and development and diagnostics in the healthcare sector. Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) researchers are using artificial intelligence technology right now and have developed and validated an image-based detection model for COVID-19. This model can analyze lung images and detect COVID-19 infection.
The current go-to method of detecting whether someone has COVID-19 is to collect samples from nasal or throat swabs. However, that method can result in inaccuracies because of sampling errors, low viral load, and sensitivity limitations. Some of these inaccuracies are especially prone to occur when patients are in the early stages of their infection.
The TIBI researchers have been able to develop an AI image-based detection model that helps identify COVID-19 infection. The model can analyze to identify features as potential diagnostic biomarkers for COVID-19, which allows for researchers to differentiate COVID-19 patients from pneumonia and healthy patients. The AI model has been developed using 704 chest X-rays and validated with 1,597 cases from multiple sources of healthy, pneumonia, and COVID-19 patients.
Lead researcher Samad Ahadian, Ph.D., had this to say in a press release:
This highly advanced artificial intelligence model further helps our ability to precisely detect COVID-19 patients. In addition, such a model can be applied for diagnosis of other diseases using different imaging modalities.
This is great news for being able to diagnose not only COVID-19 but also other diseases. This type of technology is set to become an important tool in diagnosis and prognostic assessments of diseases. Using AI image-based detection shows amazing promise in this area of medicine and could pave the way to assist and improve other areas, which could save lives.
TIBI CEO and director Ali Khademhosseini, Ph.D., had this to say:
Artificial intelligence-driven models with diagnostic and predictive capabilities are a powerful tool that are an important part of our research platforms here at the institute. This will carry over into countless applications in the biomedical field and in the clinic.
The investment into artificial intelligence in medicine and health care is only going to increase in the years to come, which will positively affect future forecasts for the global artificial intelligence market. And this is just one example of how AI is improving lives and innovating the world.
Few diseases are as frightening as Alzheimer’s, an eventually fatal condition that takes away your mind before taking away your life.
But, even though as you age your risk of Alzheimer’s grows, it is generally recognized that the unusual circumstance of early-onset Alzheimer’s (taking place before age 65) is mostly genetic, passed on to children from their parents. Further, it is important to remember that Alzheimer’s is a degenerative condition that is not part of the normal aging process.
This means there are measures that can be taken to lessen the chances of higher genetic risk manifesting, and also decelerate the development of this condition, or prevent it.
A very powerful preventative is a plant chemical that we mostly recognize as a healthy compound in green tea: EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate).
The Department of Cell Biology, Microbiology, and Molecular Biology at the University of South Florida published a study in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and wrote that EGCG increases mitochondrial function in the brain (increased brain energy) so much that they came to a startling conclusion:
“The results of this study lend further credence to the notion that EGCG and other flavonoids … are ‘multipotent therapeutic agents’ that not only reduce toxic levels of brain Aß [amyloid beta plaque], but also hold the potential to protect neuronal mitochondrial function in Alzheimer’s Disease.”
Another study, published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, was performed on mice genetically engineered to develop Alzheimer’s. The researchers split the mice into four groups to test the effects of ECGC and ferulic acid (FA) — found in carrots, tomatoes, rice, wheat and oats — on their symptoms.
For three months, the mice were given either a combination of EGCG and FA, EGCG only, FA only or a placebo. The dose the scientists used was 30 mg per kilogram of body weight — a dosage that’s easily replicated in humans and can be consumed as part of a healthy, plant-based diet or as supplements.
Before and after the three-month timeframe, the scientists ran the mice through a battery of tests like the ones used to assess dementia in humans. And according to the researchers, “After three months, combination treatment completely restored working memory and the Alzheimer’s mice performed just as well as the healthy comparison mice.”
In other words, getting a daily dose of both ECGC and FA was enough to reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer’s.
Terrence Town, a professor of physiology and neuroscience at the Keck School of Medicine of USC’s Zilkha Neurogenetic Institute and the senior author of the paper, points to the compounds’ ability to prevent the breakdown of proteins into those amyloid beta plaques that gum up Alzheimer patients’ brains. And they also appear to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain — both of which have been linked to the development of Alzheimer’s in humans.
The researchers do point out that not all studies in mice translate to the same benefits in humans, but for my money, with results like these, a simple, healthy dietary change is certainly worth the possibility. And the researchers agreed, saying, “You don’t have to wait 10 to 12 years for a designer drug to make it to market; you can make these dietary changes today.”
So, if you want to eat to reverse Alzheimer’s, add more of the foods with those two compounds — ECGC and FA — into your daily diet.
Remember the foods to get more of are:
• Green tea • Carrots • Tomatoes • Bran • Oats
Fruit seeds also have some ferulic acid, and other teas have EGCG as well, as do cranberries, kiwis, cherries, pears, peaches, apples, and avocados, and pistachios and hazelnuts, too.
Three children in Effingham County can’t be forced to wear masks without an official quarantine order from the county health department, a judge ruled Wednesday.
Later in the day, a different judge enjoined an entire school district from requiring masks without a court order.
The attorney who brought the cases anticipates more such cases across the state.
Earlier this month, attorney Thomas DeVore won several cases on behalf of parents of school kids being kept from in-person learning because of possible COVID-19 exposure.
Courts in multiple counties said only county health departments can issue quarantine orders.
DeVore took a different case a step further and successfully argued in Illinois’ Fourth Judicial Circuit that masks are a medical device that can’t be required without quarantine orders.
“The court said quite clearly that a mask is a device that’s intended to limit the spread of a disease so it is a quarantine by definition and you cannot require anyone, students in this particular case, to wear that unless there’s consent of the parent or court order,” DeVore said after the Effingham case.
“Plaintiffs have shown they will suffer irreparable harm if an injunction does not issue, namely the children being refused access to their education unless they unwillingly utilize a device to allegedly prevent the spread of an infectious disease even in the absence of a quarantine order against them,” the judge’s temporary order says. “Nothing in this order shall prohibit the local health department, or the Illinois Department of Health, from issuing a lawful order of quarantine against any or all of the children as allowed by law.”
The Teutopolis school district, where the three students attend classes, did challenge the issue, DeVore said.
“Their fight was in essence that the governor’s executive order is compulsory on them, that they have to follow it and if they don’t follow it that they’ve been threatened to have their recognition status suspended by the [Illinois] State Board of Education,” DeVore said. “Notwithstanding that, the court still said the law is what it is and that a mask is by definition a device to limit the spread of disease, which is a type of quarantine under the law.”
Later in the day in Clinton County a circuit court judge issued a temporary restraining order against Carlyle school district. The afternoon order DeVore obtained on behalf of parents says, “While the children are on school property, the defendants, are enjoined from requiring any or all of the children who attend within the school district to utilize any type of device, including a mask, for the purposes of allegedly preventing the spread of an infectious disease unless an order of quarantine has issues against any or all the children from the local health department.”
DeVore later on a live stream encouraged others across the state to take his pleadings and use them as a template for parents to assert their rights.
Next is challenging regular COVID-19 testing and looming vaccine mandates. DeVore said the quarantine law that’s been on the books for years is clear.
“It says that requirement of the use of a device or procedures,” DeVore argues, requires a quarantine order. “What are procedures that are intended to limit the spread of a disease? Well if you read the governor’s executive order itself, he said that vaccines [and] testing are procedures that are intended to limit the spread.”
While recent legal victories were only for specific children, he expects parents across the state to assert their rights.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker said his mask mandate is necessary to slow the spread of COVID-19. Download PDF Temporary Restraining Order in Effingham County
Last year we slept through yet another election. Sure, a few got out and voted, almost 67 percent of those of voting age. Some of them voted, reluctantly, along with a ready pool of illegal and non-existent voters rounded up by community organizing groups, for the man who hid in his basement for many months and said nothing. A few voted for the incumbent, who said a lot, and often.
Dumbed down by government schools, pop culture and a sycophantic media, fed up with the flailings of the administration, driven by emotion and enticed by promises of “free” instead of freedom, they bought the lie that is Joe Biden. Then they smiled, turned over and went back to sleep.
Now it is summer, and some people are waking up to find the robbers, thieves and liars getting too comfortable in our digs, helping themselves to our comfy chair, warm bed and our snacks and looking for even more ways to steal from us and give to themselves – and the other non-producers.
When confronted they always show their arrogance. Emboldened by huge infusions of cash from the Corptocracy known as the U.S. Federal Government, they dismiss us as irrelevant. They now lord over us rather than work for us as they live their easy life being and further ram their Socialist agenda through very quickly, seeking to turn America into a European-style Socialist Democracy.
Sliding in
As Freebeacon.com points out, “Democrats are not trying to hide the fact … Sen. Ed Markey (Mass.) said on Tuesday that ‘the Green New Deal is in the DNA’ of the Democrats’ $3.5 trillion spending plan. Markey could have accurately stated that most of the Bernie Sanders campaign platform is in the budget’s DNA. Whether it’s lowering the Medicare eligibility age, offering universal Pre-K for 3- and 4-year-olds, or providing widespread ‘debt relief,’ it’s hard to see how things would be dramatically different if Sanders occupied the Oval Office himself.”
Where is the party in opposition that has not decried its opponents in power as Communists, if not at least Socialists? It is not being heard from because it is compliant.
Let me again give you just a few planks of communism. They show that America is more a socialist and communistic than republican in form of government:
Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes. (Private property rights are almost nonexistent today. You don’t own your property if it can be confiscated for non-payment of tribute to the king, or if a government agency like the Environmental Protection Agency can arbitrarily tell you what you can and can’t do with it. Landlords are now not allowed to evict anyone because of non-payment. We own nothing.)
A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. (Accomplished via the American tax system. Enforced via the Gestapo-like Internal Revenue Service and soon to be expanded by our new $6 trillion in spending.)
Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. (Accomplished via rendition and drug laws allowing law enforcement to confiscate property if it is suspected of being used in the trade or manufacture of drugs — often without evidence.)
Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly. (Accomplished via the Federal Reserve, which is not Federal and doesn’t hold “reserves.”)
Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state. (Accomplished via the Federal Communications Commission and the regulated airline industry, Amtrak, public transportation and the regulated auto industry. Further attempts being made to seize more power through control of the Internet.)
Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country. (In progress via Big Agra conglomerates, and Agenda 21, “sustainable development” communities, etc.)
Free education for all children in public schools. (Accomplished via the public indoctrination system called public education under the control of the Federal government and soon to be furthered by “forgiving” student loans.)
These planks are supported by both major political parties. Why? Because politics in America is not a party system. It is instead a repetitive and insulting process of pacifying the national will with the illusion of freedom and political choices.
The nature of government is to perpetually grow, and the nature of politics and politicians is for wealth and power. They represent government, not you.
Governments and politicians mask their agendas and create illusions to deceive and misrepresent. They look upon the public as a herd that should be deceived and led for the benefit of government and the elite.
The answer for us is to inquire into government morality, the nature of which is universalism.
In the vision of utopian universalism, there are no races, colors, creeds nor standards of excellence. Sound familiar?
Universalism organizes around and goes forward under similar ideologies ranging from humanitarianism to egalitarianism. These politico-religious ideologies are akin in their humanist depiction of men as victims of history, victims of other men and victims of God and in the belief in human progress or works as necessary to salvation. Universalism incorporates Islam, Judaism and all brotherhood religions in the religious sphere.
Universalism is socialism, communism and democracy in the political sphere. Universalism trumpets perfect freedom while resulting in total slavery. In the United States, universalism has led to the state of affairs we find ourselves in.
Getting out
The key question then becomes, “How do people come to accept universalism?” One of the means is by secular, civic glory. That is, public sporting and political events take on a religious fervor, much as they did in the French and Russian communist revolutions.
Politics is not personal. Yet what conversation can one now have with someone who “believes” differently with regard to politics? Politics has become our personal belief system, replacing God altogether. The constant onslaught of humanistic and perverse propaganda disguised as entertainment furthers the universalist slide. Our senses are so dulled that we no longer have an imperative to inquire. There is no distinction in our minds that our individual and personal identity is different or should be different from the crowd.
Inquiry is more than a curious mind. It is a disturbance of thought when values and inalienable rights are challenged and violated. This disturbance welled up recently and was called “The Tea Party” which has since been quashed.
Yet, still, we must awaken, and continue to inquire and disrupt. What could be more degrading and insulting to our being than to imagine that we are free and never inquire? Then we will have allowed government mysticism to create an illusion of freedom that we have accepted as the real thing.
Read the Press Release from the Will County Board Democrats, then watch the video. Very easy to see for yourself how the Democrat story is different from what actually happened.
WILL COUNTY BOARD DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS URGES RESIDENTS TO GET VACCINATED, AVOID MISINFORMATION
JOLIET, Illinois –
After a contentious meeting of the County Board’s Legislative Committee on Tuesday morning, Democratic County Board Caucus members are speaking out against misinformation and fear-mongering statements from some members of the Republican caucus and urging residents to get vaccinated.
“It’s important that, as leaders, we are committed to getting our facts straight before speaking publicly. Today in our meeting County Board members claimed that people would be fired at the County if they didn’t get vaccinated because of the federal vaccine mandate. They also posited that the Will County Health Department is going to mandate vaccines for all Will County residents,” said County Board Speaker Mimi Cowan (Naperville). Cowan explained: “Neither of these claims are true. The federal mandate provides for weekly testing for those who refuse to get vaccinated and there is no discussion about making vaccines mandatory for the general public at the county level. While I wish everyone would get vaccinated, spreading lies and misinformation is dangerous and irresponsible, especially as an elected official.”
Currently just shy of 375,000 people have been fully vaccinated in Will County, accounting for about 54% of the County’s total population. About 59% of the County’s 12-17 year olds have been vaccinated; almost 69% of 18-64 year olds have been vaccinated; and those 65+ are over 90% vaccinated in Will County. In each metric, Will County is outperforming the vaccination level in the state of Illinois.
“I’ve had people ask me why they should get vaccinated if it doesn’t 100% protect you from COVID. I asked my doctor and public health officials to explain it to me and they said that the vaccine greatly reduces the chance you will get infected and even further reduces the chance you will become seriously ill, be hospitalized, or die,” said Majority Leader Meta Mueller. “The reality is, getting the vaccine is simply the best way to ensure our kids can stay in school and our business can remain open and our economy can remain functional, while also making sure as few people as possible suffer and die from COVID.”
“Public health should not be governed by misinformation or political pandering,” said Caucus Member and Chair of the County Board’s Public Health and Safety Committee, Rachel Ventura. “If people have questions about the safety or efficacy of the vaccine, they can contact the Will County Health Department so that they have the best information to make the best choices to protect themselves and others.”
26,969 people in Illinois have died from COVID-19 but only 337 people have died from COVID-19 after being fully vaccinated, accounting for .005% of the fully vaccinated population. For more information about vaccine safety and how to get a vaccine, please visit https://willcountyhealth.org/covid-19/covid-vaccine/ or call the Will County Health Department at 815-727-8480.
There is one question I receive from readers more than any other, and that is: “How much time do we have left before collapse or rebellion?”
To be clear, I have no crystal ball, and timing is the one thing that is almost impossible to know for certain. For example, in 2018 and 2019 I noted in several articles that the globalists only needed one more major event in the U.S. or globally to trigger the last stage of economic decline and to launch their “great reset.” Only a year later we found ourselves in crisis due to the pandemic lockdowns and supply chain disruptions. In 2014 in an article written during the Ebola scare I suggested that a pandemic and medical tyranny might be the strategy that the globalists would use. I knew the chances were high but knowing exactly when is another matter entirely. All that any of us can ever do is look at the odds of a particular event and guess when it might happen according to the visible trends.
The only exception to this rule is that the closer you get to pure conflict or chaos, the closer you get to the collapse, the easier it can be to predict a timeline. If you are an experienced chess player, you know that high-stakes contests tend to build and build until there is a singularity — a moment when the end game is near and the winner will be decided in a flurry of attacks. I believe we are close to that point in America today.
To understand the state of the world right now it is important to accept the fact that there is a contingent of people in financial and political power that have a plan or a “vision” for the future, and part of their plan requires the removal of American patriots and conservatives and the subjugation of the American people. It is our history of rebellion against tyranny that they need to erase because it has the ability to inspire a future rebellion against the global totalitarian empire they plan to impose.
People also need to accept another fact. Now that the globalists have openly set their agenda in motion with the pandemic lockdowns, forced vaccination plans and medical passport schemes, they have a limited amount of time to achieve their objectives. Now that they have made their moves openly, a rebellion is brewing, and they are in a race to bring in their “reset” before patriots in the U.S. and in other parts of the world stop them.
So, what does this mean for conservatives and liberty advocates in 2021? Time is growing short.
I believe that we will be witnessing a full economic and social crash within the next year. Here are the reasons why, and I will discuss the economic reasons first, followed by the social and political reasons:
End of the eviction moratorium
The end of the eviction moratorium has been delayed a couple of times, but the latest attempt has been struck down by the Supreme court and federal courts. At least 12 million renters in the U.S. have said they are behind on their payments and 26 percent of Americans are struggling to pay their bills overall. The real number is likely much higher given that normal eviction numbers dropped by over half in 2020 due to the moratorium. There is a federal program being forwarded for renter’s assistance, but the problem is more complex than simply dropping fiat money from helicopters.
Another issue is that the housing market is still hot in some areas of the country, and the landlords of many rented homes might be looking to sell those properties and make a profit. Look at it this way… if you were a landlord and you just spent the last year receiving no rent checks from your property investments because tenants refused to pay due to the moratorium, would you want to keep renting out your properties? Probably not. You would have no idea if another moratorium might be instituted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the chance to sell properties that were making you no money last year and get inflated prices for them this year is going to be very tempting.
Sadly, there are a lot of good people out there that have to rent and cannot buy right now, and because of the eviction moratorium, many rental properties are about to be sold and removed from the market for years to come. There is going to be a drought in rentals except in the most undesirable cities in the U.S., I guarantee it. On top of that, even with demand for rentals being high, building new apartments and homes will be difficult because construction companies are booked for a year or more in advance and lumber prices are still outrageous.
In other words, there are going to be millions of more Americans out on the streets regardless of any federal stimulus programs. Some of them will deserve it, and some of them won’t. The crash, which was being hidden by federal measures, will now become highly visible as the homeless population explodes.
Employment shortage
Right now, there is an underlying and very dangerous trend that almost no one in the mainstream is talking about, and that is the fact that many small and medium-sized businesses are finding it difficult or impossible to hire new employees. Why? A primary reason is that federal and state authorities are paying people more money through unemployment to stay at home and do nothing than those people would make working an actual job. There is simply no incentive for many Americans to go back to work.
From what I have seen, this is killing businesses. Only major corporations and big-box retailers seem to be operating near normal capacity, and this is because they can afford to pay much higher wages and bonuses while being given endless stimulus dollars from the Federal Reserve. Small businesses do not have this option and are getting little to nothing from the small business bailouts promised at the onset of the pandemic.
The COVID checks are supposed to end in the next few months, but by the time this happens, it is likely that many small businesses will have already closed due to a lack of personnel.
End of the COVID stimulus checks
COVID payments and unemployment bonuses are scheduled to end in most states by September. Some states have already started, but the process of weening people off the government handouts is slow. It is likely that there will be numerous legal battles, and that some people will even demand that the stimulus checks never end. In other words, there will be calls for Universal Basic Income in the near term.
That said, I suspect the checks will be cut off completely for a time, and that this will lead to a considerable spike in poverty levels.
The problem is that every stimulus program the government has implemented appears to be an attempt to “help,” when it actually sets up millions of people to be hurt. Dependency on the government breeds submission to the government, and every once in a while, the establishment will seek to remind people of who their daddy is by cutting off the funds and the handouts. Beyond that, constant stimulus creates dollar devaluation and hyperinflation. We are seeing the first major signs of inflation now, and it’s not going to stop.
Stagflationary tensions rising
In many sectors of the economy, demand is beginning to fall yet prices are remaining high. In necessities in particular there has been a huge increase in price inflation even though many Americans are reducing their purchases. This is what they call “stagflation,” and it is in my opinion the worst possible financial condition.
There are a number of reasons why this is happening, but mainly it is because of the federal reserve and its incessant money creation schemes. There is always a price to pay for fiat money printing, and we are starting to see that price now. I am noticing inflation in my personal costs of up to 20 percent per month, and I’m sure many of you out there are seeing the same thing or worse depending on what part of the country you live in.
There has also been extensive “shrinkage” in the packaging of goods at the grocery stores; meaning the amount in the package is reduced while the price remains the same. This is a coordinated effort by corporations to hide the fact that price inflation is growing. I think that this inflation will accelerate as we close in on the end of this year and that price spikes will become a constant mainstream discussion by next year. “Inflation” or “stagflation” will be the word on everyone’s lips in 2022.
A return of pandemic lockdowns?
The Biden administration and the globalists have been hitting the public hard with COVID propaganda in the past month, more so than they have for a while. They are specifically trying to fearmonger with the “delta variant” narrative. Frankly, nothing has changed. Even with the vaccine rollout, governments around the world are trying to keep the lockdowns and mask mandates in place. This just goes to show that the mandates were never about public health, and they were always about control.
It is hard to say what exactly the long-term consequences will be.
What I do know is that the establishment elites are in a panic in the U.S. These people care nothing for public health or safety, so why are they so aggressively adamant about making sure we all take the vaccine? I suspect a long-term population control agenda including a likelihood of mass infertility (according to many experts there is a danger of this), but we will have to wait and see what happens.
I think that lockdowns in blue states are possible again in the near term, perhaps over the delta variant, but it may be early next year over a different variant. Most red states will remain open, and this will cause the Biden administration to go on the offensive against conservatives once again. I have no doubt that Biden will seek to cut off federal funds from states that refuse to comply with the lockdown agenda. The question is, will red states fold to this threat? And if some governors do, will citizens remove them from their positions?
Vaccine passports on the way
Talk of vaccine passports is exploding in Europe right now, causing riots and protests in many countries, and the U.S. is next. The difference is that in the U.S. the public is heavily armed, but this is not going to stop the globalists from making the attempt.
For now, the strategy in the U.S. is to use corporations as middlemen to implement the draconian passport restrictions. This cannot be tolerated by the citizenry. Just as we have seen with Facebook and the Biden administration, corporations and governments are allied closely with each other (in true fascist form), and if corporations are taking government money and implementing government policies then they should no longer be considered private businesses and they are now subject to constitutional restrictions and public retribution.
If we allow the vaccine passports to become entrenched across the U.S., the fight is essentially over. There needs to be widespread county and statewide resistance to this program. With the vaccine passports, long-term tyranny is assured, and the elites will have micro-control over every aspect of our daily lives. Just as the communists in China have enacted a “social credit system,” we will have a similar system in the U.S. And all the government will have to do to end your life is to cancel your vaccine passport. Without it, you will not be able to participate in the normal economy, keep a job, or even go to the grocery store.
Alternative systems will need to be built, and they will need to be defended. The establishment will never willingly allow competing economic systems to be built that give non-vaccinated people the ability to survive without them. They will want to make sure you and your family starve to death for your defiance. This will lead to war.
War is inevitable
When you are dealing with psychopaths, there is no reasoning, there is no logic, there is no diplomacy, there is no empathy. They want control over everything, they will do anything to get it, and the only option is to remove them by force as a threat. This is reality.
The globalists are for all intents and purposes an organized cult of psychopaths. All of their behavior suggests this is the case, and the only recourse is to treat them as you would any individual psychopath. You lock them up and throw away the key, or you put them in the ground permanently.
The issue with rebellion is that it is largely dependent on the actions of tyrants. Go too soon and you look like the villain and lose a chance to gain public support, go too late and you miss your opportunity to fight back effectively. Of course, a lot of people wrongly assume that because the bullets aren’t flying yet this means that there is no rebellion. This is naive.
The real fight is happening right now as millions of conservatives and patriots organize and prepare. Staging logistics and organizing community groups is where the war is won first. Without these efforts beforehand there is no chance of winning the fight that comes later. On top of that, the information war is paramount, and I would say that we have been far more successful than the elites would like to admit. Just look at how they are struggling in the U.S. to get the vaccination numbers they want and the vaccine passport policies they need to maintain control.
This is why I expect some kind of interference against the alternative media very soon. They have to get rid of us first because they need to have a complete monopoly on the flow of information. This will probably occur in the form of a major cyberattack that shuts down large parts of the web, or, they will attempt to enforce censorship of individual websites just as they are enforcing censorship on social media.
If mass censorship becomes policy, if vaccine passports are enacted, if conservatives come under direct attack, the shooting war will begin. It is only a matter of time, and the time is speeding towards us quickly. Again, just as we are now living in a different America compared to 2019, in 2022 or early 2023 everything will be changed again. There is little room left for the elites to achieve their reset and they will have to act quickly. The more time that passes the less momentum they will have, and they know it.
Last week I said that “Americans now cannot tell reality from its perception.” The inability to do so prevents individuals from accurately analyzing factual data and taking appropriate and effective action steps. If this impairment defines those in political power, the damage to society is incalculable.
Remembering that in our Constitutional system We the People are the ultimate Sovereign, once it becomes clear that a critical mass of those in important executive and military positions cannot now tell reality from its perception, the Sovereign must somehow step in. It is a predicament that Americans hoped they would never have to face, but that predicament is upon us.
General Lloyd Austin declares, in public, that the withdrawal from Afghanistan was “remarkably well done.” The Commander in Chief declares, in public, that “we completed the biggest airlift in American history. The extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill. . .of the US military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals.” “We planned for every contingency.”
“Extraordinary success”, “remarkably well-done”, and “we planned for every contingency”, will no doubt go down in the annals of American military and diplomatic history as the largest fictions ever uttered by a Secretary of Defense and Commander in Chief. The action steps taken reflect the cataclysm that can occur when reality and its perception diverge.
This leaves We the People trapped in a precarious position. The security of the nation is now dependent on the critical thinking skills and mature judgment of its citizens, not its elected and appointed ministers.
Back to square one. When America won her revolution against Great Britain in 1783, John Dickinson crafted the Articles of Confederation as America’s first governing document. It became clear in a few years that the Articles did not create enough energy or power in the national government to stave off foreign interest in picking off the fragile new nation and its abundant natural resources. But the agreed-upon Articles provided for amendment, not replacement. To do anything but amend would not be honorable.
George Washington and other Founders knew this inconvenient fact, but decided to replace the Articles anyway and have citizens ratify what they came up with – the United States Constitution. The People narrowly agreed, understanding that the authors had gone outside the boundaries of the lawful, but preferred to take a chance on the strengths of the document itself and on the integrity of its main backer.
How can we use this history to help us now?
The Founders were clear-eyed; they could tell reality from its perception. This is hard to do today as we do not have enough intelligent and curious journalists to dig out facts and present them to the Sovereign. It is the omission of facts that is the most damaging. So-called journalists today are activists with their own agendas and, as one television commentator told us, feel no compunction to give alternative arguments on any given issue or even report important issues of the day. The citizens of 1787 had the very thorough Federalist Papers to read, digest, question, and weigh when deciding whether to ratify the Constitution and numerous sources of extensive information and differing opinion. The Founders knew what they faced against a revengeful Great Britain.
What we need to be clear-eyed about today is that there will be no voluntary course correction from the current policymakers. It was made clear at 9/11 services that the debacle in Afghanistan would be defended as would the open southern border. The errors in judgment are so glaring and obvious that appropriate corrections should have come quickly. Instead, doubling down will inevitably be the mother of more tragedy to come. Arrogance wrapped in the delusional is now at dizzying heights in the current administration.
Assuming most Americans have a reasonable level of critical thinking and mature judgment what can they do?
They can stay educated and informed despite all efforts to keep the public in the dark. They can demand of their representatives in Congress that the insanity stop. The US Constitution is the appropriate guide. There are three co-equal branches of the federal government. If one of the branches is clearly acting outside of its Constitutional parameters, the other branches must step to the plate to correct. The Supreme Court should agree to take critical cases and rule quickly and decisively. Congress has the power to act at anytime. National defense is its top priority.
More importantly, other than matters that involve national defense and other enumerations in Article I, section 8 of the Constitution, everyday matters, called “police” powers are really with the states and the People. (Amendment X.) Demand responsible decision-making at the state level and demand vigorous push-back against any out-of-control branch of the federal government. States and the federal government compete for power, not rights. People have rights, states have power. There is no such thing as state’s rights. Ultimately, We the People have both rights and Power. We need to use it.
It might be wise, also, to examine motive. What is happening is so massive it cannot be mere incompetence. What is going on is deliberate. The wished-for “transformation of America” seems to include her demise. Whatever the motive, We the People need to press for a Constitutional solution to the disconnect between reality and its perception in the executive branch of the federal government. Each American citizen has a duty to take some small action on behalf of the nation in his or her everyday life if only to inform oneself. In conjunction with other citizens, these action steps amount to real power. The very life of the nation is going to depend upon it.
At any given time in history and in any country there is only a small percentage of the people who are shocked by bureaucratic tyranny.
The people who become alert to the parasite nature of government are without exception producers and savers as they have the most to lose.
Those who have accumulated wealth are actually enemies of the state whether they are aware of it or not.
If hyperinflation occurs in the United States on top of the massive inflation occurring now, having your money based outside the U.S. allows you to escape some of hyperinflation’s effects, including the possible seizure of your assets by the government. As investment strategist Doug Casey succinctly opined, you should “get your money out of the country before the country gets your money out of you.”
You should be aware that the USA Patriot Act now permits the government to seize an account on the flimsy basis of “probable cause” that the account is linked to crime. This includes any criminal activity, not just suspected terrorist activity.
In case you don’t think this is happening right now, without warrants (or at least, in violation of them) Techdirt reminds us that back in March – yes, 2021 – “The US Attorney in Los Angeles, California secured an indictment against a secure vault company, alleging the company was engaged in money laundering, drug trafficking, and hiding taxable assets. None of the company’s employees or owners were indicted.
“FBI agents spent five days turning US Private Vaults upside down. Agents apparently emptied every safety deposit box housed by the business. They did this in complete contradiction of the limits imposed on them by the FBI’s own warrant affidavit. … The FBI could have taken custody of the boxes without opening them and sought warrants for those implicated by the investigation. Instead, the FBI agents emptied the boxes while still on the premises, engaging in dozens of searches not authorized by any warrant.”
Government strategy is to invade our privacy and freedom under the pretext of protecting us from terrorism, drug traffickers, criminals, viruses, and all kinds of booger bears. Politicians-as-usual all protect and enlarge the government’s asset seizure regime while pretending to do precisely the opposite. Such “opposite behavior” is the proof of a conspiracy against Americans.
Escaping burdensome laws, asset forfeiture, and currency regulations are reasons you should consider moving at least some of your assets offshore. The very best way to preserve assets is to first take them out of U.S. dollars. Then get them out of reach of U.S. jurisdiction which means out of the United States. The exception here would of course be gold and silver in your physical possession and take delivery of your stock certificates.
Swiss annuities used to be safe from the hands of the U.S. government and its reporting requirements, but this is no longer true as Swiss banks have been forced to comply with the blunt instrument of enforcement that beats into compliance everything it comes in contact with, also known as the IRS.
Despite the IRS’s zealotry, there are still a few legal loopholes you can use to quietly hold certain types of assets offshore without reporting.
Mark Nestmann of The Nestmann Group tells the story of one man who so despised FATCA and all the overseas reporting requirements that he did two things. First, he bought some land in the south of Austria and built what looked like a farmhouse on it. Inside, there were myriad rooms, hidden hidey-holes and some fireproof, water-resistant safes embedded into the concrete foundation, all hidden under loose floorboards.
The man was a builder and was able to do most of the work himself, which is unusual, but it also allowed him to store almost a million dollars’ worth of precious metals there. He also did not rent the house because that income would trigger reporting requirements.
Instead, he lives there with his wife. Nestmann writes: “Nearly $2 million of their net worth. And the U.S. government knows nothing about it. 100 percent private. Are there risks? Sure. Theft and fire come immediately to mind (although insurance can help with that).”
The reason this is all beyond the reach of the IRS is that all physical precious metals held directly outside the U.S. are exempt from reporting although anything else is not. For real estate, the feds don’t require you to report on personally held offshore real estate in any form that is for personal use.
