CAUGHT IN LIES: Latest Twitter Files Release Reveals Feds and Twitter Both Caught Lying, Hiding Evidence in Major Lawsuit; Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt Calls Them Onto the Carpet​

By Jim Hoft
Published December 10, 2022 at 8:30am

For the past week, Elon Musk and the new management at Twitter have been publishing secret communications within Twitter between 2020 and the present.

These communications detail not only Twitter’s practice of suppressing (almost exclusively) conservative and dissident speech on topics of election integrity, vaccines, and other topics… but also the massive extent to which Twitter was coordinating with the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

This coordination on censorship was for the purpose of eliminating speech harmful to the Democratic party, and also speech that was harmful to the preferences of America’s federal ruling elite: the oligarchs who actually run the United States despite all of the BS lip-service paid to democracy.

On Friday night, for example, journalist Matt Taibbi was tapped by Twitter to publish the third traunch of internal Twitter documents, which were posted as tweets on Twitter. See below for some key tweets.

Earlier this week, Elon Musk fired Twitter General Counsel James Baker (formerly the corrupt and fired General Counsel to the FBI, who participated in dirtbag FBI Director James Comey’s conspiracy against Trump and anyone associated with Trump). Baker was fired after Musk caught this deep state traitor destroying, manipulating, and hiding evidence relating to Twitter’s crimes against the American People. To his credit, once Musk caught him, he immediately terminated him.

Hold that thought.
You may recall that Gateway Pundit has been closely following a lawsuit between the states of Missouri and Louisiana on the one hand, and about 30 federal officers and agencies on the other (Missouri, et al v. Biden, et al, pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana)
.
Full disclosure: Jim Hoft is a plaintiff in this case alongside the states.

That suit has been going on for roughly seven (7) months, but it’s still only getting started. The suit alleges that the federal government conspired with Big Tech to violate the First Amendment rights of tens of thousands or Americans.

Because of the procedural posture of the case, the plaintiffs are not yet able to get into “general discovery.” This means that they don’t yet wield the full investigatory powers that federal lawsuits normally confer upon plaintiffs.

Instead, the investigation has been more limited (it’s a long explanation).

Bottom line, the plaintiffs have been able to conduct (albeit limited) an investigation into the practices of Twitter, Meta/Facebook, etc., as well as the federal government.

Critically, in the records produced by the federal government as well as Twitter, something strange has occurred: no documents exposing the corrupt actions of the FBI have been brought to light.

This is interesting, because the previous management of Twitter swore they produced (to Missouri and Louisiana in the Missouri v. Biden case) everything they had that was relevant. The feds made the same promise.


However, now, thanks largely to Elon Musk (but also the hard work of Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s office), we know that Twitter and the federal government were lying to the Attorneys General of Missouri and Louisiana (and the rest of the plaintiffs in that suit, including Jim Hoft).

We now know that they tried to pull a fast one.

EXAMPLES:
matt-1.jpg


matt-2.jpg


matt-3.jpg


matt-4.jpg


matt-5-1.jpg


matt-6.jpg


Because of this the Missouri Attorney General’s office sent a letter to Twitter’s lawyers today, demanding that Twitter come clean now that it fired scumbag traitor James Baker.

The letter highlights Twitter’s bald faced lies (before Musk took over) and demands that Twitter turn over all of the evidence showing the FBI and DHS’s collusion with Twitter to silence the speech of tends of thousands of Americans, shut down the Hunter Biden Laptop Story, and remove Trump from Twitter, among other demands.

Shortly after the Missouri Attorney General’s office sent out that letter, Musk and Taibbi, started to unveil a fresh batch of evidence that demonstrated that communist revolutionaries at Twitter, including the mentally confused bigot Yoel Roth, were gleefully meeting with the FBI and DHS regularly to receive their marching orders (so long as it agreed with their hard left communist worldview).

Because Twitter and the Federal government have now been caught lying red-handed in the course of a federal lawsuit, we wait with baited breath for the federal judge in the case to be made aware of the lies. We love Musk, but justice must be done. The truth must come out, and bad actors like James Baker must be sanctioned by the court – even when (ESPECIALLY WHEN) they’re deep state swamp creatures.

We hope James Baker is held in contempt in court and rots in jail. If there is justice, he will rot.

Twitter AND the Federal Government were just caught red handed lying in a federal lawsuit. Their lawyer – including their department of justice lawyers – should and must be sanctioned, if not disbarred.

EXCLUSIVE: Twitter Tweet Released Tonight Shows Its Mgmt Preparing Secret Channel to Work with Deep State on Election Tweet Responses – As TGP Previously Reported​

By Joe Hoft
Published December 9, 2022 at 8:00pm

Did Twitter start its meetings related to the Election Integrity Project in October of 2020 and did they just get caught admitting that their focus was to censor conservative free speech with the help of the US government?

We know that Twitter was a big part of the focus of the Election Integrity Project (EIP). We’ve written about this project previously in July 2022.

EXCLUSIVE: Radical Far-Left Group (EIP) Created Partnership with Government and Social Media to Censor and Ban Any 2020 Election Reporting – The Gateway Pundit Was Top Target

Tonight (Friday night), Twitter released some more information regarding its activities during the 2020 election up to the time period when Twitter removed the President of the United States from its social media platform.

But first, remember what we discussed in the EIP report noted in the article above. There was a concerted effort to control any and all communications before and after the 2020 Election related to the election and the election process. The effort was the Election Integrity Project (EIP). Twitter had a key role along with other Big Tech platforms, government agencies and non-profit agencies.

1670699784652.png

The EIP worked with these groups to obtain information on the 2020 Election that it did not want shared with the American people and work on solutions to kill these communications.

Because the EIP involved government agencies it likely broke the law in all sorts of ways.
EIP-Structure.jpg

In one tweet tonight, Matt Tabbi shared on Twitter the following that appears to be related to the EIP.

Here is the message:

1670699872000.png

Here is the tweet.
1670699915220.png
1670699954457.png

What appears to be going on here is the following:

Twitter shared that starting on October 9, 2020 through November 15, the company was going to use a separate channel for the following items related to the 2020 Election:
  • Trends requiring investigations
  • High-profile accounts that require PII/Soft interventions
  • Scalable solutions required
  • Edge cases for XFN consultation
Ultimately, Twitter shared that this was “an enforcement channel T&S and TwS to help speed up our response related to election issues in the coming few weeks.”

There’s more –
GET appears to be the team reported on last night in Twitter Files Part 2 named the Global Escalation Team:

1670699684310.png

According to the tweet above, GET was taking over and APAC (typically the name for the Asia Pacific group), EMEA (Europe and East Asia), and NA (North America) groups would turn over the above activities related to the election to GET.

In the EIP report in our article above, the top target of the EIP related to the 2020 Election was The Gateway Pundit. On October 9th, 2020, the EIP was in full throttle at Twitter.

MUST SEE: Bolsonaro to FIGHT ON! Speaks to Massive Sea of Supporters After 41 Days of Silence: “I Will Give My Life for My Country! We Will Win!” (Video)​

President Jair Bolsonaro said:

I am here to listen to the people. My loyalty belongs to the people of Brazil.

The people are once again waving their flag proudly, and have hope for their country’s future. Now, we must unite.

Brazil does not need more laws – the laws which we have must be respected.

I am the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. The Armed Forces are the last bastion against communism. They are loyal to the Brazilian people. Their duty is to defend our freedom.

We are facing difficult and painful decisions. If it goes wrong, it is because we as leaders have failed. So do not criticize without being absolutely sure of what is happening.

Everyone knows what happened over the last 4 years and what the Supreme Electoral Court has said. What is happening in our country is absurd. It would be easy to install a dictatorship in Brazil.

So do not ask what I can do for you, but what you can do for your country. It is you, the people, who will decide my future and what the Armed Forces will do.

I can only be happy if you are. I will do what I can. But I can’t authorize anything by myself. This isn’t a decision for only one person alone.

40 days of silence pained me in my soul. I’ve never seen people take to the streets, demanding that a president stay. Usually, they want him to leave. I’ve never seen anything like this!

Nothing is lost yet. I believe that victory will come, within the law and the Constitution.

I will give my life for my country! Let’s dedicate ourselves, unite and seek a way out. Let us each do what we can to save our country! Onward to victory!

Protesting is a democratic right! You are the citizens of this country! No more being treated the way they have been treating you!

Everything will work out – Nothing is lost! We will win!

Power comes from the people! Everything in its time!

Speaking to Bolsonaro outside Alvorada Palace, Chief Raimundo Guajajara of the Munduruku said:

For 39 days, we have been braving sun and rain, because we believe in you.

End our agony. We brought our demands to all levels of Power (Senate and Congress) but they are all corrupt, just like (Senate President Rodrigo) Pacheco and Egg Head (Chief Justice Alexandre de Moraes).

End our agony by making use of your pen.

If you do not do this, you will hear that we are going to take Brazil.

President, our Great Chief, today we are not indigenous, Farmers or truck drivers, but WE ARE ONE PEOPLE WHO CRY OUT for you to defend our country.

We know that you face a corrupt System, but you have the people with you and you have the power and WE AUTHORIZE YOU to finish everything now, so we can go home happily, reunite with our loved ones and enjoy the holidays.

We are here to support you and if it is necessary, we will die for you, we will die for our country!

On Friday, convicted Communist Lula da Silva announced his first Ministers, including radical leftist Fernando Haddad as Finance Minister, which sent Brazilian markets and currency into a tailspin. Prospective Minister of Defense José Múcio Monteiro announced he would purge the Military of patriots, calling it ”depoliticization.“ This will put further pressure on the Military Commanders to act.

Pro-Lula Chief Justice Alexandre de Moraes imposed fines on protesters and ordered the seizure of 177 trucks in the state of Mato Grosso for taking part in bloackades, fining the owners R$100,000 (US$19,000) for democratic protests. Corrupt leftist Judge Moraes also ordered the removal of the Mayor of Tapurah, Carlos Alberto Capeletti, for supporting democracy.

On Sunday, Dec. 11, Argentine consultant Fernando Cerimedo, author of the first election fraud report, will again present the evidence for election fraud in the Oct. 30 election at Brazilwasstolen.com. “We are going to know everything that happened in the Brazilian elections. Fraud and censorship have a whole country silenced”, said Cerimedo. “There is no reason for the Superior Electoral Court to execute its censorship with the complicity of Facebook,” Rio Times reported. Cerimedo recently spoke before the Brazilian Senate about what many consider electoral fraud in Brazil, and attacked Chief Justice Alexandre de Moraes:

“What is the plan, Mr. Moraes? Why are you afraid of opening the books to show how the process went? What is this cowardice that hides behind censorship?” asked Cerimedo at the hearing organized by the Transparency, Governance and Finance Committee of the Federal Senate, before a packed room of Brazilian legislators.

To End Climate Lunacy, Stop Treating Warming & C02 Hysterically

FRIDAY, DEC 09, 2022 - 08:40 PM
Authored by David Simon via RealClearMarkets.com,

Those who oppose economically destructive “climate” policies – like those promoted by the Biden administration and at the recent United Nations COP27 conference – will continue to fail to stop the advance of these policies so long as they continue to accept the false claim that warming of the planet and carbon dioxide emissions are harmful.

They are not. On balance, global warming and CO2 emission are beneficial.

Before getting to why that is, however, it is crucial to understand why accepting the false climate claim is so harmful.

When the destructiveness of climate policies is shown, the response is that the policies nevertheless are necessary to address what President Biden refers to as the “existential threat” of global warming and increased CO2 emissions.

When it is noted that these climate policies will at most microscopically and insignificantly reduce temperatures and CO2 emissions, climate policy mandarins push for even more draconian policies.

The result has been that since the 1990s, climate policies have become increasingly destructive and wasteful. Even worse, their continued intensification appears unlikely to be stopped until the public and policymakers are persuaded that global warming and CO2 emissions are not harmful. As Margaret Thatcher famously said: “First you win the argument, then you win the vote.”

Without This, There Will Be No $7 Trillion EV Revolution (Not Lithium)
Most people don't know that today's large-capacity EV batteries contain more graphite than any other essential ingredient... more than lithium, copper, or aluminum! Read our new Special Report

To win this argument, it is necessary to focus on the scientific facts.
  • A warming planet saves lives. Analyses of millions of deaths in recent decades in numerous countries, published in the British medical journal The Lancet, show that cooler temperatures killed nine times (July 2021 study) to seventeen times (In May 2015 study) more people than warmer temperatures. The planet’s recent modest warming (by 1.00 degree Celsius on average since 1880, as calculated by NASA) thus has been saving millions of lives. thus has been saving millions of lives.
  • CO2 emissions do not pollute and instead are environmentally beneficial. In 2017, over 300 scientists, including Richard Lindzen of MIT and William Happer of Princeton, signed a statement that made this point: “carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. To the contrary, there is clear evidence that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is environmentally helpful to food crops and other plants that nourish all life. It is plant food, not poison.” Every one of us, indeed, also exhales carbon dioxide with every breath.
  • Since 1920, deaths each year from natural disasters have decreased by over 90 percent. And this happened, data from EM-DAT - The International Disaster Database presented by The University of Oxford show, not only as the planet has warmed, but as world population has quadrupled.
  • Global warming has not increased hurricanes. A NOAA report, updated on November 28, 2022, states that “there is essentially no long-term trend in hurricane counts. The evidence for an upward trend is even weaker if we look at U.S. landfalling hurricanes, which even show a slight negative trend beginning from 1900 or from the late 1800s.”
  • The same report sums it up in bold: “We conclude that the historical Atlantic hurricane data at this stage do not provide compelling evidence for a substantial greenhouse warming-induced century-scale increase in: frequency of tropical storms, hurricanes, or major hurricanes, or in the proportion of hurricanes that become major hurricanes.”
  • Global warming also does not increase land burned by fires. As environmental statistician Bjorn Lomberg has shown using data from the Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Remote Sensing of Environment, and Earth’s Future, the percentage of global land burned per year in 1905-2021 has been declining.
  • Sea levels are rising – but only by a small fraction of an inch each year. An EPA report updated on August 1, 2022, states: “When averaged over all of the world’s oceans, absolute sea level has risen at an average rate of 0.06 inches per year from 1880 to 2013,” including a slightly increased rate since 1993 of “0.12 to 0.14 inches per year.”
  • The UN climate models that President Biden, John Kerry, and other climate doomsters use to predict future global temperatures are so speculative and unreliable that they have been unable even to reproduce the 20th century’s temperature changes. This is a key point in the must-read book by Obama Department of Energy Under Secretary for Science Steven Koonin, Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters.
These kinds of facts should persuade the public and policymakers to stop accepting the false claim that global warming and CO2 emissions are harmful.

When this false claim is no longer widely accepted, policymakers will stop imposing climate policies that particularly impoverish the world’s poor.

They will stop holding international boondoggles like COP27 and that demand vast climate-related foreign aid programs.

They will stop spending hundreds of billions of dollars on domestic climate sinkholes.

And they will stop using purported “social cost of carbon” factors (even though the true social cost of carbon is zero) to regulatorily restrict domestic fossil fuel production, transportation, and use.

Luongo: EU's Oil Price Cap Is "Simply Moronic", Chindia Already Filling Gaps

SATURDAY, DEC 10, 2022 - 06:20 AM
Authored by Tom Luongo via Gold, Goats, 'n Guns blog,

The EU and the US went forward with their long-debated, long-telegraphed move to put a price cap on Russian oil at $60 per barrel.

By believing they can pressure suppliers into not hauling Russian oil lest they run afoul of the sanctions that support the price cap, they believe they can take only Russian oil off the market for the long run.

Because of the way oil is actually traded in the real world, versus the way it trades in Janet Yellen’s head, this policy is actually much harder to implement than it actually looks. You don’t buy oil at the crude oil counter at Target or Wal-Mart.

There isn’t a price tag you can look at and say yes or no too. As Tsvetana Paraskova at Oilprice points out, crude contracts are written based on a discount or premium to a benchmark price at a particular moment in time.

“Physical traders rarely trade on a fixed price,” John Driscoll, chief strategist at JTD Energy Services Pte Ltd, told Bloomberg.​
“It’s a much more complex space where they trade on formulas and spot differentials to a benchmark crude for the trading of actual cargoes as well as for hedging that follows,” said Driscoll, who has more than 30 years of trading oil in Singapore.​

To complicate things further, the EU wants to remain flexible to change the cap at its discretion.

“The price cap is not set in stone – it “is fixed for now but adjustable over time,” the EU said last week.

If this sounds like a recipe for complete disaster, it is.

No matter what happens here, the quantity of oil to be produced under this cap, even if it isn’t successful, will go down. Period. See chart below. If you disagree with this then you might just qualify to replace Yellen as Treasury Secretary of the US.

That said, Janet Yellen may be stupid, but she’s not that stupid. She knows what this price cap she’s championed will do. So, as always, with these people the question you shouldn’t be asking isn’t, “Will this work?” or “How will Russia respond?” but rather, “Is this the point of the exercise?”

I was contacted by Sputnik News for my comments on this (article here) and this is the tact I took in answering their questions.

If everyone involved knows that price floors and price ceilings always and without fail create production shortages, then why did they do this when the world clearly need more oil?

Because this is a feature of the policy, not a bug.

By doing this, like every other intervention into oil delivery since the start of the war in Ukraine, the goal was to take Russia’s supply offline and hope that other producers would see the opportunity to take market share from the evil Russians while simultaneously trying to push capital investment into competing energy technologies — like nuclear, hydrogen and unicorn farts.

It hasn’t worked. Russia happily sells their oil at a major discount to Brent Crude, but will it remain the $30 China and India have been paying below Brent? Only if Brent stays at $90+ per barrel. With Brent now trading in the high $70’s those discounts will attenuate.

And with Vanguard following Blackrock’s lead in ditching ESG as a policy driver for investment flows, we’ve likely reached the limit of this stupidity, because despite the protestations of commies the world over, capital flows to where it is treated best.

That flow is now distinctly around Europe rather than the intended target, Russia.

There are many goals of this price cap, some stated, some implied, my comments are in italics afterwards.
  1. Limit Russia’s oil revenue enough to bleed out their budget. Not likely as the discount to Brent will rise and fall with futures. Russia’s cost of production is the lowest in the world with the highest spare capacity to bring online or take offline.
  2. Spur other OPEC+ members to pump beyond their quotas and break the cartel. Again, not likely, as the only ones who have spare capacity are also under heavy sanctions, Venezuela, Iran, etc. To crib from Planet of the Apes, “OPEC together strong.”
  3. Make the Saudis an offer they can’t refuse, to lead OPEC without Russia. This has fully failed as KSA has just signed a Strategic Partnership with China during Xi’s first visit to a foreign power since COVID faster than you can say, “multi-polar world.”
  4. Bring the price of oil down to allow “Biden” to refill the SPR at a big discount. Only so long as they can manipulate futures prices down and keep demand off the market.
  5. Cause further chaos in oil shipping to freeze investment capital in an industry trillions behind the curve in exploration because of ESG and “US/EU policy” This is what the real goal is. It’s why I think Liz Truss was taken out as UK Prime Minister and why Germany happily went along with the Nordstream bombing and closing off the Druzbha Pipeline.
  6. Force Putin to sell Europe oil below market prices to fund the upcoming war effort against Russia, now clearly on the table for 2023. They want you to believe oil flows to Europe have already cratered, while bookings (as Sputnik pointed out) for Sovcomflot’s tanker fleet are up. The only numbers that matter are Russia’s exports, not whether oil flows through western tracking data.
I’ve maintained for years that Europe feels they have some kind of monopsony (single buyer) power over Russian energy. And all they have to do is hold their nose and refuse to buy Russia’s products and this will force them to sell to them at whatever price they demand.

What I’m still trying to figure out, however, is how much better a deal do they want than the one they had pre-Ukraine War, a war they did nothing substantial to stop?

To believe that the EU only pursued this antagonistic relationship with Russia because it is a colony of the US Empire is simply delusional at this point. At no point did Europe try to make peace with Russia financially, economically or diplomatically.

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel reiterated recently in an interview with Die Zeit that the Minsk Accords were designed as a delaying tactic to arm Ukraine for the future war against Russia.

This admission blows up that entire coping narrative of ideological leftists who hate the US (and all that it supposedly still stands for, i.e. capitalism) so much they can’t accept the reality of their insanity.

Europe chose this path. They chose freely to freeze Russia’s foreign exchange reserves, decline to buy their oil and gas, and sanction Russia to the point of destabilizing not just their own food and energy security, but also everyone else’s in the process.

Davos hates the freedom that oil and gas represent. Their strategy is to starve the entire oil complex of needed capital and hope it collapses. What it’s doing is accelerating the creation of parallel markets for shipping, insurance, payment clearance and investment banking for base commodities in markets outside of their control.

They’ve interfered in elections/governments the world over in key pockets of resistance — the US, Brazil, now Peru, the UK, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, — to disrupt any further integration of Asia.

Most of these have failed, but have succeeded in making the world less safe, less predictable.

The price cap is a stupid policy implemented by people with a clear animus against humanity itself that they would drive the world to the brink of nuclear war. It’s nothing more than the same scorched earth policy that’s been on display for years now.

If we can’t rule the world, we will burn it down. All it’s really doing is accelerating the split between East and West. Russia is done with Europe. They have turned East and will wait for Europeans to come to their senses and find common ground. Both they and the Chinese realize now there is no return to normalcy without the West collapsing in a fit of rage.

All over a few miserable dollars per barrel.

As always, my full replies to Sputnik are below the line.

As the price cap on Russian oil comes into force, how will the global market react? What long-term consequences do you expect?

The price cap is simply moronic from a price perspective. Any 1st semester student of economics understands that price caps/floors create shortages. So, we shouldn’t look at price directly. Price is a consequence of supply and demand, in this case a deliberate attempt to create a shortage by introducing unnecessary friction all throughout the oil supply chain to create a global shortage of energy.

Oil prices will rise in the short term because of this and investment in new oil sources will now accelerate but outside of the West who have turned completely hostile to new sources of oil entering the market.

The price cap was conceived with the objective of punishing Russia over its special military operation in Ukraine – what are traps and pitfalls of energy supply politicization?

As always with moves like this, there is the story we’re told and then there is the real story. This cap will not deter Russia in any significant way from exporting oil. What will happen is the map of oil delivery worldwide will change. Energy that flowed west will now flow east and south. The ESPO pipeline will see full utilization as demand from SE Asia rises.

Projects that previous to the divorce between Russia and the EU were uneconomic are now economic as a price floor has now been put on the market. That’s what is so funny about this ‘price cap’ on Russian oil, it’s actually a ‘price floor,’ ensuring that Russia, the country with the lowest cost per barrel of any major producer, has guaranteed minimum income going forward.

I believe the goal of Janet Yellen, the person most responsible for this idiocy, is to both raise the price of oil to accelerate investment into renewables but limit the amount of money Russia gets, starving them, and other oil producers of capital.

In short, it’s nothing new. These are the same people who put sanctions on Russia to make the ruble weak while the price of oil rose.

How can the move backfire on G7 countries and the EU in particular?

It already has. As I said, this is just an extension of the same policy that’s always been in place. What will (and is) happening is that the investment they are trying to retard into replacement oil and gas reserves will now occur outside of the western financial system and western currencies, i.e. the US dollar and the euro.

Capital flows both to where it’s needed and where it’s treated best. What’s happening in the West is one big policy to freeze capital where it is currently trapped and beat it with the ESG stick. I could write a book here about why this is dumb and counterproductive, but I’ll just state that, in short, it won’t work.

This price cap is the beginning of the major shift towards the East becoming the center for global capital investment.

The price cap had sown discord within the EU and resulted in months of bickering – do you expect further split within the EU members now, as the measure came into force?

Yes. But the European Commission isn’t listening and is continuing to play hardball with every EU member state and Russia on every issue. At the same time, they also support NATO expansion, which is tantamount to an open war declaration against Russia. Now it’s War Crimes Tribunals against Russia for a war it won’t fight or can even win.

The internal politics of gas delivery within the EU is now facing a shift with Italy’s Giorgia Meloni clearly angling to replace Germany as the port of entry for most piped gas into Europe. France and Germany are hopping mad about this.

This energy crisis in the EU is designed to break the spirit of Europe’s people to accept full totalitarian/centralized control over everything. The outward face of the EU is one of inevitability, while masking the deep divisions that are tearing it apart at the seams.

What kind of problems will the EU face given that Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak specified earlier that if the cap came into effect, Russia would either redirect its crude supply or slash production?

China and India are already filling the gaps. Russian oil will be blended in the Bahamas or other storage ports and then sent back to EU refineries. It’s all shadow play and theater. The main goal, as I said, was to make the oil markets less efficient, raising costs while starving it of capital at the same time.

The EU will face continued high energy prices, a net outflow of capital from lack of investment and a falling currency as their competitiveness on the global market collapses. Considering that they are also an unreliable trade partner who constantly changes the terms of contracts while they are still active, will see trade that used to be done with it go somewhere else.

All they are doing is ensuring no one will want to do business with them after 2030, hence their full-throated support of further war with Russia over Ukraine…. If the EU will suffer, then so will the whole world. It’s the ultimate game of brinksmanship. And they are the ones driving this bus, along with certain old money connected players in the US, while simultaneously using those players in the US, like Yellen, as a smokescreen for their preferred outcomes.

The clear story now is that the EU is blaming the US for all of its ills, exactly like I said they would do over a year ago. EU Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen just did this, complaining about the US subsidies for green energy projects. French President Emmanuel Macron complained that the US was making too much money off selling the EU natural gas.

Are they serious? Putin offered them a way out of this but, as always, the Eurocrats want their cake and eat it too… they want to punish Putin and get their energy at subsidized rates. Seriously, why does anyone take these apparatchiks seriously?

Everything they do is the equivalent of pointing a gun to their head, pulling the trigger but only grazing the skull and then blaming everyone else for letting them do it and telling the Americans to go kick Russia out of Ukraine.

It’s pathological.

What will be the market’s reaction in the event of Russia curbing its production?

Clearly oil prices will rise. China and India will still buy Russian oil, refine it and sell it back to the EU at value-added prices. The money Europe used to make refining cheap Russian oil will now go to China and India, who paid for it at a discount, using their own currencies or rubles, and Europeans get stuck with the bill.

So, in 2023, expect another major wave of inflation based on rising energy prices, China re-opening its economy putting upward pressure on metals prices and food shortages from the EU’s war on the periodic table of elements.

Can You Guess What Percentage Of Americans Are Having Trouble Paying Their Grocery Bills?​

SATURDAY, DEC 10, 2022 - 07:30 AM
Authored by Michael Snyder via TheMostImportantNews.com,

For the first time in decades, the cost of food has become a major issue in America. If rapidly rising food prices are not a problem for you, then you should be very thankful, because most of the country is really hurting right now. The cost of food has been going up much faster than our paychecks have throughout 2022, and this week Walmart CEO Doug McMillion publicly admitted that double-digit price increases for packaged foods “are going to be with us for a while”. This is a crisis that isn’t going away, and as you will see below, it appears that things will get even worse in 2023.

But even though I am constantly writing about our deteriorating economic conditions, even I was absolutely stunned by the results of a new survey that was just released…

More than two-thirds of Americans are having a hard time affording groceries as food costs continue to soar, according to new data.​
Retail technology platform Swiftly reported Wednesday that 69% of shoppers say they are struggling to pay their grocery bills after months of persistently sky-high inflation, and 83% currently rely on some form of coupons or loyalty program to put food on the table, according to its True Cost of a Grocery Shop survey.​

If this poll is accurate, that means that almost 70 percent of all Americans are having trouble paying their grocery bills right now.

That is crazy!

Unfortunately, food prices are only going to go higher because global food supplies just keep getting tighter and tighter.

For example, the USDA is projecting that the upcoming orange harvest in Florida will be the smallest since 1943…

Orange juice futures squeezed to a near-record high ahead of another US Department of Agriculture’s crop report on Friday that will likely show tight global supplies will persist well into the new year.​
USDA’s next report will provide an estimate for Florida’s 2022-23 harvest. Figures will add to October’s downbeat report, which showed that Florida would only produce 28 million boxes (each box is 90 pounds) for the current season, down 32% from the prior year. This season is expected to be the lowest harvest since 1943.​

Meanwhile, Fox Business is reporting that our endless national baby formula shortage “keeps getting worse”…

The baby formula shortage keeps getting worse.​
One parent from Keystone, Florida, said it’s been “crazy” – especially for parents in need of a popular hypoallergenic and lactose-free formula.​
“We have been getting less powder, Nutramigen. So, whatever I have, I’m kind of like, can I just feed him less? But then it’s like, you can’t feed a child less because that’s not fair to them,” mother Ellie Johnston told FOX Business.​

On my website, The Economic Collapse Blog, I have been documenting countless other reasons why global food supplies will keep getting tighter in the months ahead. Make sure to bookmark the site and check it several times a week for the latest updates.

As Americans on the bottom levels of the economic pyramid become increasingly desperate, we are seeing a very alarming spike in retail theft.

During a recent appearance on CNBC, Walmart CEO Doug McMillion was asked about what his stores are seeing…

Walmart stores across the U.S. are grappling with an uptick in shoplifting that could lead to higher prices and closed stores if the problem persists, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said Tuesday.​
“Theft is an issue. It’s higher than what it has historically been,” he told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”​
“We’ve got safety measures, security measures that we’ve put in place by store location. I think local law enforcement being staffed and being a good partner is part of that equation, and that’s normally how we approach it,” McMillon said.​

That certainly doesn’t sound good.

And McMillion went on to say that some Walmart stores could eventually be closed if high levels of retail theft persist…

“If that’s not corrected over time, prices will be higher, and/or stores will close,” McMillon said.​

I have bad news for him.

This isn’t going to be corrected.

In fact, things are only going to get worse in this country.

For years, I have been warning that food would become such a target for thieves that armed guards would be needed.

Unfortunately, that time has now arrived…

A Philadelphia gas station owner fed up with incessant crime threatening his employees and customers hired heavily armed security guards to watch over his business.​
Neil Patel, operator of a Karco gas station at Broad and Clearfield streets in North Philadelphia, recruited Pennsylvania S.I.T.E Agents clad with Kevlar vest and AR-15s or shotguns.​

In many parts of Philadelphia, the criminals are the ones that are in control, and so that is why this gas station owner feels compelled to hire his own private security force…

“They are forcing us to hire the security, high-level security, state level,” Patel told FOX 29. “We are tired of this nonsense; robbery, drug trafficking, hanging around, gangs.”​
The final straw for Patel came after he said his business was vandalized by young people and an ATM machine was stolen. His car was also a casualty of crime around the area.​

Of course this sort of environment can now be found in major urban areas all over the nation.

Organized retail crime has become a multi-billion dollar business, and if it is far worse this year than it was last year.

In an article that he just posted, Mike Adams did a great job of summarizing where things currently stand…

The key phrase in all this is organized retail crime. This isn’t merely spontaneous, simple shoplifting, it’s a whole new type of large-scale theft where teams of thieves are prepped and coordinated to hit a retail establishment and clean out its most valuable items in seconds. The stolen goods are then sold on Ebay, Amazon and other online marketplaces, or delivered to local buyers in exchange for cash.​
According to the National Retail Federation, organized retail crime has skyrocketed by 26.5% in 2022, year over year. It now costs retailers over $100 billion per year in losses.​

Our country is starting to come apart at the seams all around us.

I am sorry if that statement offends you, but it is true.

Crime is out of control, predators are roaming the streets, and the population is becoming increasingly desperate as the cost of living spirals out of control.

Sadly, things are only going to get worse during the months that are ahead of us.

Cross-Country Winter Storm Could Pummel California, Northern Plains, And Possibly Northeast​

SATURDAY, DEC 10, 2022 - 09:00 AM

The Weather Prediction Center of the National Weather Service wrote in a short-term forecast that a "major storm system" will "spread heavy snow in the mountains" of California and the West through the weekend. The storm will then unleash a blizzard across the Northern Plains and could leave parts of the Northeast with wintry weather later next week.

A satellite image of the storm arriving on the West Coast.



Here's more on WPC's forecast this weekend for the Northwest:

"A deepening trough aloft and frontal system at the surface moving through the West will continue to spread heavy snow in the mountains, a wintry mix for inland valleys, and heavy coastal rain across the region this weekend.

"An impressive stream of moisture from the Pacific associated with an atmospheric river will help to promote both high rainfall and snowfall rates as well as totals.

"The impacts will be widespread from north to south with numerous winter weather-related advisories in effect. Starting across the Pacific Northwest, Northern Rockies, Great Basin, and California, snowfall totals through the weekend will generally range between 12-24 inches, locally higher, for higher elevations in the mountains. The heaviest snowfall is expected for the Sierra Nevada with several feet forecast."

Storm setup for this weekend.



After this weekend, the storm will traverse parts of the Northern Plains by Monday. Later in the evening and into the overnight through Tuesday, heavy snow and high winds could produce blizzard conditions in parts of eastern Montana, eastern Wyoming, western Nebraska, the Dakotas, and Minnesota.

By late Tuesday into Wednesday, the snow-producing system will arrive in parts of Wisconsin and northern Michigan.

The Weather Channel's computer modeling shows Northern Plains has the highest percentage of accumulating snow.



"We are increasingly confident that we will be dealing with a pretty significant Northern Plains blizzard next week," Greg Carbin, chief of forecast operations for the Weather Prediction Center, told NYTimes.

Later in the week, the system pushes towards the East Coast. The Weather Channel explains the forecast then becomes complicated:

First, we expect a couple of early-week cold fronts to deliver at least some cold air to the East ahead of this storm.

That's important because as moisture from the storm begins to override that cold air, some snow, sleet or freezing rain could break out in parts of the East as soon as late Wednesday or Thursday.

After that, low pressure is expected to form near or off the East Coast Thursday. Where that low tracks will play a large role in how much, if any, snow the Northeast may pick up late next week, and where it would fall.




The possibilities range from a low tracking so far out to sea there's little or no additional precipitation anywhere in the Northeast, to a track just offshore but with enough cold air to wring out at least some snow closer to the coast, to a track along the coast or inland with snow mainly in the interior Northeast but rain at least for a time near the coast.

Severe weather for the Northern Pacific and Plains appears to be guaranteed at this point, but later next week, forecasts for the Northeast are still uncertain.

This could be the first winter storm of the season to have coast-to-coast impacts.

Digital Currency: The Fed Moves Toward Monetary Totalitarianism

SATURDAY, DEC 10, 2022 - 11:30 AM
Authored by André Marques via The Mises Institute,

The Federal Reserve is sowing the seeds for its central bank digital currency (CBDC). It may seem that the purpose of a CBDC is to facilitate transactions and enhance economic activity, but CBDCs are mainly about more government control over individuals. If a CBDC were implemented, the central bank would have access to all transactions in addition to being capable of freezing accounts.

It may seem dystopian—something that only totalitarian governments would do—but there have been recent cases of asset freezing in Canada and Brazil. Moreover, a CBDC would give the government the power to determine how much a person can spend, establish expiration dates for deposits, and even penalize people who saved money.

The war on cash is also a reason why governments want to implement CBDCs.

The end of cash would mean less privacy for individuals and would allow central banks to maintain a monetary policy of negative interest rates with greater ease (since individuals would be unable to withdraw money commercial banks to avoid losses).

Once the CBDC arrives, instead of a deposit being a commercial bank’s liability, a deposit would be the central bank’s liability.

In 2020, China launched a digital yuan pilot program. As mentioned by Seeking Alpha, China wants to implement a CBDC because “this would give [the government] a remarkable amount of information about what consumers are spending their money on.”

The government could easily track digital payments with a CBDC. Bloomberg noted in an article published when the digital yuan pilot program was launched that the digital currency “offers China’s authorities a degree of control never possible with cash.” A CBDC could allow the Chinese government to monitor mobile app purchases (which accounted for about 16 percent of the country’s gross domestic product in 2020) more closely.

Bloomberg describes how much control a CBDC could give Chinese authorities:

The PBOC [People’s Bank of China] has also indicated that it could put limits on the sizes of some transactions, or even require an appointment to make large ones. Some observers wonder whether payments could be linked to the emerging social-credit system, wherein citizens with exemplary behavior are “whitelisted” for privileges, while those with criminal and other infractions find themselves left out.​

(Details on China’s social credit system can be found here.)

The Chinese government is waging war on cash. And they are not alone. In 2017, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) published a document offering suggestions to governments—even in the face of strong public opposition—on how to move toward a cashless society. Governments and central bankers claim that the shift to a cashless society will help prevent crime and increase convenience for ordinary people. But the real motivation behind the war on cash is more government control over the individual.

And the US is getting ready to establish its own CBDC (or something similar). The first step was taken in August, when the Fed announced FedNow. FedNow will be an instant payment system and is scheduled to be launched between May and July 2023.

FedNow is practically identical to Brazil’s PIX. PIX was implemented by the Central Bank of Brazil (BCB) in November 2020. It is a convenient instant payment system (using mobile devices) without user fees, and a reputation as being safe to use.

A year after its launch, PIX already had 112 million people registered, or just over half of the Brazilian population. Of course, frauds and scams do occur over PIX, but most are social engineering scams (see here, here, and here) and are not system flaws; that is, they are scams that exploit the public’s lack of knowledge of PIX technology.

Bear in mind that PIX is not the Brazilian CBDC. It is just a payment system.

However, the BCB has access to transactions made through PIX; therefore, PIX can be considered the seed of the Brazilian CBDC. It is already an invasion of the privacy of Brazilians. And FedNow is set to follow suit.

Additionally, the New York Fed has recently launched a twelve-week pilot program with several commercial banks to test the feasibility of a CBDC in the US. The program will use digital tokens to represent bank deposits. Institutions involved in the program will make simulated transactions to test the system. According to Reuters, “the pilot [ program ] will test how banks using digital dollar tokens in a common database can help speed up payments.”

Banks involved in the pilot program include BNY Mellon, Citi, HSBC, Mastercard, PNC Bank, TD Bank, Truist, US Bank, and Wells Fargo. The global financial messaging service provider SWIFT is also participating to “support interoperability across the international financial ecosystem.” (This video details the pilot program and how the US CBDC would work.)

The IMF is also thinking of a way to connect different CBDCs under a single system. In other words, the IMF plans to create a PIX/FedNow for CBDCs around the globe:

Things could change as money becomes tokenized; that is, accessible to anyone with the right private key and transferable to anyone with access to the same network. Examples of tokenized money include so-called stablecoins, such as USD Coin, and central bank digital currency.​

The reception of Brazil’s PIX shows that FedNow will likely be widely adopted due to its convenience; however, this positive economic and technological element should not overshadow the increased control instant payment systems will give to central banks. The BCB has access to all transactions made by Brazilians through PIX, and this would only get worse should a CBDC be implemented.

With a CBDC, it would be easier for the government to carry out expansionary monetary policies (which cause misallocations of resources and business cycles) and exert greater control over citizens’ finances.

Musk: Twitter Child Porn Failures 'A Crime'

SATURDAY, DEC 10, 2022 - 06:55 AM

On Thursday, three members of Twitter's Trusty & Safety Council quit the company in a huff, claiming in a tweeted screed that the "safety and wellbeing of Twitter's users are on the decline" since Elon Musk took over.

The individuals in question - Anne Collier, Eirliani Abdul Rahman, and Lesley Podesta (niece of John Podesta) - wrote about how they've worked tirelessly on 'digital safety' - with Rahman proudly serving on the Council's "Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) Prevention advisory group."

1670707214018.png

Except - these three beacons of virtue apparently didn't do much when it came to pedophiles running rampant on the platform - which led several major brands to pull campaigns with the company shortly before Musk's acquisition.

1670707307728.png

Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey responded to Musk, saying "This is false," to which Cernovich replied "How did this slip through?" - linking to yet another example of Twitter's failures, in which a judge ruled the company could be sued for failing to take down child porn videos.

1670707375676.png

1670707424381.png

"Yoel et all were very focused on censorship of viewpoints they don’t agree with," Cernovich continued, referring to Twitter's former head of "Trust and Safety," Yoel Roth. "Is there a way to internally audit how “safety team” people spent their time?"

1670707498360.png

Roth notably wrote his PhD dissertation on the gay sex app Grindr, in which he downplayed safety concerns about minors being exposed to sexual content online.

1670707549011.png
1670707599150.png

After Roth left, Musk began cleaning up child pornography on the platform.

1670707729742.png

1670707807032.png

In September, Twitter's lack of action against child porn caused major brands - including Dyson, Mazda, Forbes and PBS Kids - to suspended their marketing campaigns or remove ads from 'parts of Twitter' because their promotions were featured next to tweets soliciting child pornography, Reuters reported at the time.

DIRECTV and Thoughtworks also told Reuters late on Wednesday they have paused their advertising on Twitter.

Brands ranging from Walt Disney Co, NBCUniversal and Coca-Cola Co to a children's hospital were among more than 30 advertisers that appeared on the profile pages of Twitter accounts peddling links to the exploitative material, according to a Reuters review of accounts identified in new research about child sex abuse online from cybersecurity group Ghost Data. -Reuters

Easily filtered keywords including "rape" and "teens" were featured alongside promoted tweets from corporate advertisers, a Reuters review found.

In one case, a Cole Haan ad appeared next to a tweet in which a user solicited "trading teen/child" content.

"We're horrified," said Cole Haan brand president, David Maddocks. "Either Twitter is going to fix this, or we'll fix it by any means we can, which includes not buying Twitter ads."

In another example, a user tweeted searching for content of "Yung girls ONLY, NO Boys," which was immediately followed by a promoted tweet for Texas-based Scottish Rite Children's Hospital. Scottish Rite did not return multiple requests for comment. -Reuters

Twitter offered a boilerplate response, telling Reuters that the company "has zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation," and is investing more resources dedicated to child safety, adding that the company is working closely with advertisers and partners to investigate and avoid embarrassing corporate clients in the future.

Twitter's child porn issues were noted by The Verge in late August, causing pushback from advertisers that are critical to the company's revenue stream.

After Reuters presented Twitter with a sample of 20 accounts promoting child porn last Thursday, the company removed around 300 additional accounts from the network, but over 100 remained on the platform the following day, according to Ghost Data and Reuters.

And while child porn ran rampant at Twitter, the well-connected Leslie Podesta was militant about vaccination and absolutely hated Donald Trump.

Part 2 of 2

As ZeroHedge contributor Portfolio Armor wrote last month,

What Was Twitter’s Staff Doing Before?

That Twitter has reportedly been able to crack down on child porn with its current skeleton staff (following Elon Musk’s layoffs and the subsequent resignations) raises the question of what Twitter’s thousands of employees , including its “Trust & Safety” department, were doing before. They might say they protected the world from Donald Trump using Twitter to incite violence.

Except now that Elon Musk has reinstated Trump’s account, everyone can see that Trump had used the platform to call for peace on January 6th, 2021.

1670708067757.png!

It appears that, when they weren’t deplatforming political opponents, most of Twitter’s former employees weren’t doing much productive at all. A few weeks ago, the once-deplatformed account @LibsofTiktok shared a TikTok video by a Twitter employee sharing her “day in the life” at Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco. It started with her drinking an iced matcha tea on the house, and ended with her drinking free wine on the roof.

Growing Number Of CEOs Issue Warnings About Retail Theft 'Epidemic' Across US

SATURDAY, DEC 10, 2022 - 09:30 AM
Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

An increasing number of current and former CEOs have issued warnings about an increase in retail thefts across the United States, which could trigger higher prices and cause locations to close.

“Today, this thing is an epidemic. It’s spreading faster than COVID,” former Home Depot CEO Bob Nardelli told Fox News on Dec. 8.​
“The degree of severity now, it’s not just theft, it’s smash and grab. There’s an entitlement out there that if you have it, you’ve worked hard to earn it, I want it. I’m just going to take it.”​

Last week, an 83-year-old Home Depot worker was killed after being shoved by a thief at a North Carolina location, officials said. Gary Rasor, the worker, attempted to confront a suspect who was making off with three power washers before he was pushed to the ground; he later died because of complications from his injuries.

While appearing on CNBC on Dec. 6, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said retail theft is “higher than what it has historically been” and suggested that it will create widespread problems in some areas.

“If that’s not corrected over time, prices will be higher, and/or stores will close,” McMillon said.

“I think local law enforcement being staffed and being a good partner is part of that equation, and that’s normally how we approach it.”

He didn’t indicate what locations could be closed due to theft incidents.

In September, the National Retail Federation reported that retail theft and other inventory loss—known as shrink—reached $94.5 billion in 2021, while reports indicate that retail theft incidents increased by about 26 percent last year.

“Violence is an increasingly important concern among retailers,” including shootings and assault, the report reads. “As has been detailed throughout this report, external theft and [organized retail crime] in particular, is a significant and growing area of concern for retailers.”

‘Industry-Wide’
In an investor call, Target Chief Financial Officer Michael Fiddelke said, “This is an industry-wide problem that is often driven by criminal networks, and we are collaborating with multiple stakeholders to find industry-wide solutions.”

The amount Target has shrunk over the past year, “has already reduced our gross margin by more than $400 million versus last year, and we expect to reduce our gross margin by more than $600 million for the full year,” he said.

In the call, Fiddelke said shoplifting has increased by about 50 percent year-over-year. Most of those shoplifting incidents are due to organized retail theft, not individual shoplifters, he said.

Organized looting and retail theft gangs have caused shortfalls for the retail industry amid supply chain problems and years of COVID-19-related disturbances, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

“Retail theft is becoming a national crisis, hurting businesses in every state and the communities they serve. We call on policymakers to tackle this problem head-on before it gets further out of control. No store should have to close because of theft,” the organization stated. “These crimes are not victimless.

“In addition to the growing number of thefts that turn violent, innocent consumers, employees, local communities, and business owners and shareholders bear the costs of rising retail theft. Twenty-five percent of small businesses report raising prices as a result of shoplifting. Some retailers have been forced to shutter locations in response to rampant theft.”

Notably, drugstore Walgreens has closed several locations in San Francisco amid a rise of thefts and shoplifting that had been blamed on policies implemented under District Attorney Chesa Boudin, who was recalled earlier this year.

Incidents
18 people were arrested in Los Angeles when police busted an organized crime ring that targeted clothing and shoe stores, authorities said.

Former French Secret Service Head: Mass Migration "Threatens Civil Peace"

SATURDAY, DEC 10, 2022 - 04:00 AM
Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,

The former head of France’s secret service has warned that uncontrolled mass migration is the only issue facing the country that “threatens civil peace.”

Pierre Brochand, the former director of the General Directorate for External Security (DGSE) between 2002 and 2008, made the comments during a speech to the Gaullist Amicale of the Senate.

The intel chief said that mass migration had produced “a cross-cutting impact on all of our collective life, which I consider to be generally negative.”

Although asserting that immigration in and of itself was not “evil,” Brochand noted that the “very particular immigration that we have been subjected to for 50 years” has caused a “creeping third-worldization of French society,” as well as “regression in key areas, such as education, productivity, public services, safety, and civility.”

Brochand sought to debunk the often cited argument, most recently voiced by President Emmanuel Macron, that mass migration has always been the norm.

“For 1,000 years, from the Carolingians to Napoleon III, nothing happened,” he said, adding that it wasn’t until the 1970’s that newcomers from “the third world of highly failing societies,” most of them Muslims, began pouring in.

Noting that another wave was caused by the Arab Spring, Brochand said there were now 25 times more Muslims living in France than in the 1960’s and that one must have a a “hummingbird’s brain” to think that ancient rivalries between Christians and Muslims would not be reignited.

Brochand called for immigration levels to be cut by at least ten times, with student visas slashed by 300 per cent and all non-contributory welfare payments to foreigners to be eliminated.

France must “get out of our straightjacket and take back, by finally showing political will, the steering wheel of the crazy truck that has been driving itself for 50 years,” according to Brochand.

As we previously highlighted, France’s greatest living author Michel Houellebecq says Europe will be “swept away” by mass migration, adding that he was “shocked” that the ‘great replacement’ is treated as a conspiracy theory.

Following the gruesome murder of a 12-year-old girl in Paris by an Algerian migrant who was in the country illegally, it was subsequently revealed that just 0.2 per cent of illegal Algerian migrants are deported from France.

A poll taken in April last year found that the majority of French citizens thought some form of “civil war” was likely as a result of failed multiculturalism and attacks on French identity.

FDA Says Ivermectin Doesn't Work Against COVID-19 But Points To Studies That Show It Does​

FRIDAY, DEC 09, 2022 - 07:20 PM
Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says a drug called ivermectin does not work against COVID-19 but links to studies that show it does, an Epoch Times review has found.

1670708918140.png

The FDA’s website states, “Currently available data do not show ivermectin is effective against COVID-19.”

But half of the studies to which the FDA points support using ivermectin against COVID-19, according to the review.

The papers cut against the drug agency’s repeated exhortations for people not to take ivermectin for COVID-19. In Twitter posts, public statements, and emails, FDA officials have repeatedly warned against ivermectin. Some of those statements triggered a lawsuit from doctors who say the agency’s role is to approve drugs, not to issue recommendations. The suit was dismissed this week.

Dr. Pierre Kory, who frequently prescribes ivermectin for COVID-19 and co-authored a meta-analysis that concluded the drug is effective against the illness, told The Epoch Times that the government’s position on ivermectin “is one of the most glaring examples of the corruption of modern evidence based medicine.”

“There’s one message they want everyone to understand. And that message is that ivermectin doesn’t work,” Kory said. “That’s not a scientific conclusion, that’s theirs. That’s their perverted and distorted interpretation of the data.”

The FDA’s media office did not respond to a request for comment.

Dr. Janet Woodcock, a top official at the agency who was its commissioner from January 2021 to February 2022, told The Epoch Times via email that “ivermectin has been shown to be ineffective against COVID in large randomized trials.”

Studies
The FDA’s website points to a U.S. National Library of Medicine database of studies analyzing ivermectin against COVID-19. There are 88 studies listed in the database.

Out of studies that are listed, have been completed, and have results reported, most show or indicate ivermectin effectively combats or prevents COVID-19, according to the review by The Epoch Times.

They include papers reporting on results from randomized, controlled trials, which are often offered as the highest level of evidence by U.S. government officials. Such trials feature a group that receives a placebo and a group that receives the drug, randomization into groups, and blinding, or shielding operators and/or patients from the knowledge of which participants are receiving ivermectin.

Among the papers is a randomized, blinded, controlled trial that found people who received ivermectin and doxycycline, an antibiotic, recovered faster from COVID-19 than those who received a placebo.

Bangladeshi researchers reported the results from the trial of 363 participants on May 13, 2021, in the Journal of International Medical Research.

“Patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 infection treated with ivermectin plus doxycycline recovered earlier, were less likely to progress to more serious disease, and were more likely to be COVID-19 negative by RT-PCR on day 14,” they said. PCR has been used to test for COVID-19.

Another paper, published on July 7, 2022, in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, found that that ivermectin decreased the level of COVID-19 and its viability. Israeli researchers in the randomized, controlled, open label trial compared 47 patients who received ivermectin against 42 who received placebos and said that “ivermectin significantly reduced the time of viral shedding and affected viral viability when initiated in the first week after evidence of infection.”

“There were lower viral loads and less viable cultures in the ivermectin group, which shows its anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity,” the researchers said. SARS-CoV-2 is a name for the virus that causes COVID-19.

A third paper concluded that a regimen of ivermectin and carrageenan works as a prophylaxis, or preventative medicine. Argentinian researchers found in the observational trial involving 229 health care workers that ivermectin helped prevent COVID-19 infection. A followup study involving nearly 1,200 workers confirmed the results. Both sets were reported in the Journal of Clinical and Biomedical Investigation on Nov. 17, 2020.

Ivermectin “could have saved so many lives,” Héctor Carvallo, one of the researchers, told The Epoch Times via email, adding that “it’s been a crime against mankind to prevent its prescription.”

Some other studies, including the largest ones, either found indications that ivermectin works against COVID-19 but did not achieve statistical significance or found no evidence that ivermectin is effective.

That includes a randomized, controlled, double-blind 2021 study by Mexican researchers that found ivermectin did not significantly impact hospitalization duration or mortality, and a randomized, controlled, double-blind 2022 trial by U.S. researchers that concluded ivermectin did not prevent hypoxemia, hospitalization, or death.

FDA Intervention
Scientists in Australia in April 2020 found that ivermectin worked well against the COVID-19 virus in cell culture, prompting doctors in multiple countries, including Peru and the United States, to start using it against the new illness.

Ivermectin is approved by the FDA to treat parasites. One version is used on horses and other animals.

The FDA quickly warned against using the animal form and said that people should “not take any form of ivermectin unless it has been prescribed to them by a licensed health care provider and is obtained through a legitimate source.”

Studies later in the year suggested ivermectin worked well in humans who had COVID-19, including halting the progression of disease (pdf), helping patients improve faster, and preventing COVID-19 infection, though other studies returned results that did not support ivermectin as a treatment.

The FDA maintained its stance against COVID-19, and created a new web page on March 5, 2021. It initially said, “The FDA has not reviewed data to support use of ivermectin in COVID-19 patients to treat or to prevent COVID-19; however, some initial research is underway.”

In August 2021, the FDA urged people against using ivermectin by telling them that “you are not a horse.” It linked to the page, which was updated the following month with the language it now contains about data not showing ivermectin is effective.

American doctors are allowed to prescribe drugs approved for one use for a different use, a practice known as off-label. But doctors who prescribed ivermectin soon found that many pharmacies stopped filling prescriptions, citing advice from the FDA and other U.S. government bodies.

1670709368472.png

Half of Studies Supportive
The FDA does not cite studies on its website to support its statement that data “do not show ivermectin is effective against COVID-19.”

“Clinical trials assessing ivermectin tablets for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 in people are ongoing,” the agency adds, providing a link to the U.S. National Library of Medicine’s database.

Of the 88 studies listed there, 56 fall under one of three categories: have not been completed, were completed but results have not been reported, or were completed and have since been retracted or otherwise withdrawn.

Of the remaining 32, 16 found or indicate ivermectin is effective as a COVID-19 treatment or prophylactic, according to the Epoch Times review.

Two of the trials were randomized, controlled, and blinded. Nine others were randomized and controlled but were not blinded at all. Most of the rest were observational, meaning they analyzed data from real-world settings like hospitals, or used observational data to create what’s known as a synthetic control group.

The set of papers includes results of a randomized, controlled, open label observational trial (pdf) that found ivermectin combined with doxycycline, an antibiotic, reduced the time to recovery and the mortality rate, and a randomized, controlled, double-blinded trial that found ivermectin and doxycycline quickened recovery and patients were less likely to see their disease progress.

Of the 16 other studies, six reported mixed results. For instance, Spanish researchers reported in The Lancet in February 2021 that ivermectin did not have an impact on testing results, but that there was “a marked reduction” of self-reported symptoms such as loss of smell and cough, and lower levels of viral loads. The result “warrants assessment in larger trials,” the researchers said.

The remaining 10 studies returned results that did not favor ivermectin or did not achieve statistical significance.

U.S. researchers, for example, found that ivermectin probably worked better than a placebo, but that the results did not achieve statistical significance, prompting them to say in October that “this study adds to the growing evidence that there is not a clinically relevant treatment effect of ivermectin at this dose and duration.”

The FDA did not respond to a request for comment on the revelation that half of the studies it points to support using ivermectin (IVM) against COVID-19.

Woodcock, the FDA’s principal deputy commissioner, reviewed the studies. She was unimpressed.

The Bangladeshi trial, for instance, was criticized for primarily including young persons, and having a higher number of dropouts in the placebo arm. Woodcock said the Israeli study did not report “clinical outcomes” and noted many of the other papers had small numbers of participants.

“There are only a couple studies here that really look at the effects of IVM and see a positive clinical effect and they are much smaller than the negative studies,” Woodcock told The Epoch Times in an email.

The trials in favor of ivermectin are on the smaller side, and more likely to be observational. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they are inferior, Kory said. He cited research that found there was little difference between observational studies and randomized-controlled trials, as well as a paper that said “study design is only one factor that determines study quality.”

The FDA isn’t the only government group opposed to using ivermectin to treat COVID-19. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel recommends against it, citing several of the larger trials that found little or no benefit for ivermectin. The panel cites none of the papers that found a positive effect.

DNA From 2 Million Years Ago Reveals Arctic Utopia That Was 50-65 Degrees Warmer​

FRIDAY, DEC 09, 2022 - 07:40 PM

Two-million-year old DNA from northern Greenland has pushed back the genetic record by 1 million years to a time when the Arctic region was 50-65 degrees warmer, and home to abundant wildlife - including mastodons, lemmings and geese, The Guardian reports.

According to researchers from the University of Cambridge and University of Coppenhagen, the northern peninsula of Greenland - which is now a polar desert - once contained boreal forests of popular and birch trees that were teeming with wildlife.

"A new chapter spanning 1m extra years of history has finally been opened and for the first time we can look directly at the DNA of a past ecosystem that far back in time," said the researchers, Prof. Eske Willerslev, adding "DNA can degrade quickly but we’ve shown that under the right circumstances, we can now go back further in time than anyone could have dared imagine."

Willerslev added that similar techniques could someday be used to uncover insights into the first humans and their ancestors.

Willerslev and colleagues worked for 16 years on the project, which resulted in the DNA of 41 samples found hidden in clay and quartz being sequenced and identified. The ancient DNA samples were found buried deep in the Kap København Formation, a sediment deposit almost 100 metres thick that built up over 20,000 years. The sediment, tucked in the mouth of a fjord in the Arctic Ocean in Greenland’s northernmost point, was eventually preserved in ice or permafrost and lay undisturbed by humans for 2m years.

Extracting and analysing the DNA was a painstaking process that involved piecing together tiny fragments of genetic material that first needed to be detached from clay and quartz sediment. It was only the advent of a new generation of DNA sequencing techniques that allowed the scientists to identify and piece together extremely small and damaged fragments of DNA, through referencing extensive libraries of DNA collected from present-day animals, plants and microorganisms. -The Guardian


Once they pieced together the fragments, a picture emerged of forests teeming with reindeer, rabbits, lemmings and mastodons - the latter of which have previously only been found in North and Central America.

No carnivores were found, most likely because they were fewer in number, however the researchers speculated that there were likely ancient sabre-toothed tigers, wolves or bears.

"We don’t know what was there, but probably something that ate mastodons and reindeers," said the authors, adding that it's encouraging that these species have been able to thrive so far north in a region that would have still been cast into darkness for much of the winter due to its location.

"The data suggests that more species can evolve and adapt to wildly varying temperatures than previously thought," said Dr Mikkel Pedersen, of the Lundbeck Foundation GeoGenetics Centre at the University of Copenhagen and co-first author.

9 Truth Bombs We Need to Share to Help "Normies" See the Light About the Dangerous "Vaccines" 1:52:34 min

9 Truth Bombs We Need to Share to Help "Normies" See the Light About the Dangerous "Vaccines"​

The JD Rucker Show Published December 10, 2022

^^^^^^

9 Truth Bombs We Need to Share to Help “Normies” See the Light About the Dangerous “Vaccines”​

There seems to be an awakening happening in America as more people are seeing the light about the Covid "vaccines." It's time to double-down and do some real educating now.

by JD Rucker
December 10, 2022

Every day, more Americans are waking up to the fact that the Covid-19 “vaccines” are neither safe nor effective. As data becomes more readily available (though still not nearly available enough to the public), it is becoming blatantly clear that everything we’ve been told about the jabs by official sources has been wrong at best and intentionally misleading at worst.

But there’s still more work to be done. Even today in the face of mountains of evidence that the jabs make people MORE susceptible to Covid-19, the two main proxies of Big Pharma — government and corporate media — continue promoting a perpetual regimen of boosters. In spite of increasingly common examples of young and otherwise healthy people collapsing and dying, the powers-that-be keep saying the jabs are safe. Far too many Americans are still buying into this notion.

During a recent panel discussion held by Senator Ron Johnson, doctors, experts, and victims told their stories about Covid-19 and the “vaccines” that are being pushed today. It was long. While I was enthralled the whole way through, I found my wife moving on to other tasks. I noticed some of the comments said it was “tedious” to watch. I get it.

That’s why on today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show I did a breakdown of some of the key points. I did so without filter. Many of these brave men and women still need to be careful about what they say and how it may tarnish their reputation if they go “too far” into the conspiratorial side. I have no concerns, therefore I can say, for example, that all the evidence points to the jabs being part of a depopulation and control agenda initiated by the globalist elite cabal. As much as I appreciate Senator Johnson’s courageous push to buck the system, even he cannot go as far as is necessary to really bring the truth to light.

There’s another reason I did this show instead of simply replaying the entirety of the panel discussion. The primary focus of the panel is to change policies by government and practices by Big Pharma. I understand that strategy, but I also believe it is not the lowest hanging fruit. When we consider just how crystal clear the lack of efficacy is and the undeniable dangers associated with the jabs, we can safely assume that if the powers-that-be were going to back away from them, they would have done so already. There is ample reason to be fearful for the people. The fact that they’re doubling-down instead of backing down tells us they are incentivized to keep Pandemic Panic Theater going for as long as possible.

Rather than trying to change policies, the goal of today’s show and this article is to take the information they revealed during the panel discussion and cater it to educate those who are starting to ask questions. There are still plenty of full-blown, indoctrinated vaxx-nannies out there who will never accept that the jabs are bad. But as I noted earlier, there are also many people who are allowing themselves to wake up, even if only a little. We need to get the truth to these people who are on the verge of having their hearts and minds changed regarding the jabs. By preventing as many people as possible from getting jabbed even more, we can hopefully preserve life and bring forth allies who will be less beholden to the powers-that-be when the crap really starts hitting the fan.

Below are the nine truthbombs dropped in the portions I selected from the panel discussion. Learn them. Watch the video. Share the video. It’s impractical to document it all in this article, so for the first time I’m asking people to set aside a couple of hours to watch the show in order to garner the knowledge necessary to keep fighting the good fight against vaccine tyranny. Let’s start bringing as many people to the truth as possible.

VAERS and V-Safe​

One of the easiest ways to get “normies” to appreciate the dangers of the jabs is to present them with data that comes directly from the CDC itself. Both VAERS and V-Safe offer damning information about the adverse reactions Americans are experiencing every day. Corporate media refuses to report on any of it. In fact, they proactively attempt to “debunk” those of us who are trying to get the word out. The first two portions of Senator Johnson’s panel that I shared on today’s episode dealt with these important tools of enlightenment.

Excess Death Data From Insurance Companies​

Pro-vaxx and anti-vaxx groups continuously try to prove their points while disproving the data from the other side. Pro-vaxxers say there’s not enough evidence to prove definitively the jabs are killing people. Anti-vaxxers say the evidence is unambiguous and the vaxx-nannies are gaslighting. Clearly, I’m in the anti-vaxxer camp but some people need more convincing. That’s why seeing the data presented by unbiased insurance companies is so important.

They demonstrate that people have been dying far more frequently after the jabs were introduced. If that doesn’t wake people up, nothing will.

Military Mandates​

Dr. Theresa Long is one of the few military whistleblowers on this subject. For a year, she has been highlighting the facts that our own military wants hidden from us and more importantly from our troops. It’s conspicuous that even as mandates in other industries are being lifted, our military is persistent in fighting tooth-and-nail to keep their mandates intact. As Lt. General Thomas McInerny told me in an interview in early 2021, if someone wanted to cripple the United States with a bioweapon vaccine, they’d target healthcare, law enforcement, and military. That’s exactly what we’re seeing today.

Suppression of Drugs That Worked​

It has been well-documented that abundant and inexpensive drugs like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine are very effective in treating Covid-19.

Unfortunately, there was a full-court press to suppress these and other drugs.

Even today in the face of undeniable evidence of their efficacy, there are still elements in our government and in the hospital system that push back. As I highlight on today’s show, Dr. Pierre Kory and others explains why this is happening and what it means.

Covid Spikes AFTER Vaccine Peak​

Of all the evidence that should shock people into ceasing their acceptance of jabs in their arms, this may be the most blatant. If the vaccines worked, there would not have been a spike of cases that took place following mass vaccinations. Joe Biden and others famously called it a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” but now it is clear that the jabbed are the ones getting sick more often. They also represent a much higher percentage of hospitalizations and deaths. Why would people choose to take a drug that will increase their chances of illness, hospitalization, and death?

Going After Kids​

From a logical perspective, jabbing kids makes absolutely zero sense even if the “vaccines” actually did what we were told they’d do. Covid-19 poses an infinitesimal risk to children; there are more documented vaccine-related deaths than Covid deaths among minors. Despite this, the powers-that-be are pushing to stick needles into every child’s arm in America. Other nations have reversed course on this, but America plods ahead to poison as many children as possible.

Coordinated Efforts to Gaslight Us​

Del Bigtree put together a video which I’ll be highlighting during my show. In it, we hear government officials and media talking heads parroting the narrative that the vaccines are the pathway back to normalcy. They said the vaccines would end the pandemic. They said the vaccines were safe. Were they lying or stupid? It’s likely a combination of both.

Adverse Reaction Examples​

There are so many testimonials and heartfelt stories on the internet of people suffering from vaccine adverse reactions. There are even more tributes to those who died from the jabs. On today’s show, I will highlight one particular story from someone whose life has been irreversibly destroyed by the jabs.

Myocarditis​

The sharp increase in myocarditis cases among young and health people is astounding. But here’s the bad news: It’s probably far worse than anyone knows. Since myocarditis can persist undetected, it’s a near certainty that there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of Americans whose hearts are suffering without them even knowing. Athletes and regular people exercising are the ones who are learning they acquired heart problems because of their increased heartrates during physical exertion. What about those who rarely if ever exercise? Is it possible that undiagnosed myocarditis is already affecting the masses? Yes.

Going Forward​

This cannot be reiterated enough. We need to inform as many people as possible to the dangers of the vaccines. Victims and future victims are being jabbed every day without truly “informed consent” because they are relying on media, government, and their doctors to hear about the jabs. Unfortunately, none of these groups can be trusted on the topic for various reasons.

It behooves us to make more people aware the dangers. It’s not just the right thing to do as good family, friends, or neighbors. It will benefit us to prevent America’s collapse that could result from ongoing mass injections. We need allies. We need people to not become victims so they can help us prevent the collapse or to rebuild if it cannot be prevented.

Don’t keep the truth about the jabs locked away. Proactively share what you know. They might think you’re a “crazy anti-vaxxer” today but those who listen will be thankful for you when the vaccine devastation really ramps up.

Senator Alex Antic: Your city is tracking you​

Digital Surveillance State: Senator Warns 'Your City is Tracking You, Dystopian Future' (Video)​

Amy Mek
December 10, 2022

Senator Antic fears we will soon have a social credit-style system like the one currently rolling out in China with the CCP.

Australian Senator Alex Antic recently warned in parliament about the rise of the digital surveillance state. He questions what is happening to all the data being collected and advises people on how it might be used against them.

The Senator explains that Australians are sleepwalking into a technocratic future as so-called “smart city” technology rolls out across the country.

Invasive technology such as facial recognition cameras are now commonplace in Australian cities, along with digital ID and central bank digital currencies. Australians are staring at a CCP-style social credit future, he warned.

We have already lived through the early stages, explained Antic. Watch as he speaks in the Senate about our digital future:

Australian Senator Alex Antic: Rise of the Digital Surveillance State 1:32 min

After his parliamentary speech, the Senator traveled to the city of Unley in Haywood Park, in South Australia, to show people exactly what he was talking about and why he was so concerned.

Senator Antic filmed himself at the park and showed one of the many computer terminals where you can request all kinds of information about Haywood Park via a touch screen under the heading ‘Smart City’. For example, you can request information about barbecue usage in the area. Imagine a world not far from now, says the Senator, that your government has declared a climate emergency and no one is allowed to put meat on the barbecue to ‘save the planet’. Then the police will come to find you and turn off your barbecue, warns Antic.

‘Your city is tracking you’​

The Elites want to dictate every aspect of your life, from what you eat, to where you go, down to how many times a week you are allowed to shower and wash your clothing.

Unsurprisingly, the park’s information screens also provide information about toilet use. “We don’t need to know that at all,” said Antic, who thinks we’re in for a “dystopian future.” He could also request information about the use of electric cars and how often they are charged.

Information is also collected about how many unconnected Wi-Fi devices there are. “So that will be everyone’s phone,” explains the Senator. Most alarming is they know exactly the number of people in the park. Imagine there is a lockdown in place due to a new outbreak of Covid or Monkeypox, whatever they come up with. Then your government can send you away if there are ‘too many’ people in the area, he warns.

Even if you were to leave your phone at home, “the cameras will pick you up in the future,” he warns. “This all seems very innocuous, but the reality here is what we are seeing is very real and very, in my view,” says the Senator, “concerning the future for how we go, these areas will all be geo-fenced.” More and more data is being collected daily about individuals and their actions.

China’s Social credit system​

The Senator is shocked that so many citizens say, “I’ve got no problem with any of this. I don’t do anything wrong.” Well, that all depends on whether or not your government has the same viewpoint as you, he warns. He reminds people that we’ve seen this play out in the last 18 months through the Covid period and what the government deems right and wrong.

“I must tell you; I don’t like this at all. Looks pretty innocuous. But to me, there’s a whole bigger, badder future that comes with it. So make sure you’re thinking about this. Make sure you’re talking to your friends about it. And make sure you’re telling your politicians that you don’t want a social credit style system like currently rolling out in China with the CCP [Chinese Communist Party]. We don’t want to go anywhere near this. But, unfortunately, I have a bad feeling that this is where we’re headed,” warns Senator Antic.

Fauci’s Replacement Signed Deals Pushing Research Collaboration With Chinese Communist Party In Wuhan, Responsible For Secret Reversal Of Gain-of-Function Funding Ban.​

December 10, 2022

Dr. Hugh Auchincloss, selected to be Dr. Anthony Fauci’s temporary successor at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, spearheaded efforts to broaden the federal agency’s collaborative research with Chinese military-linked scientific institutions that funded controversial bat coronavirus research conducted by the Wuhan Institute of Virology and EcoHealth Alliance.

Auchincloss has served as Fauci’s Principal Deputy Director, the second most powerful writhing the $6 billion agency, since 2006.

He is also the same aide that Fauci sent panicked emails – obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request – to about the gain of function research occurring in Wuhan in the early days of the pandemic. In a recent deposition, Fauci also identified Auchincloss as responsible for reversing a ban on federal funds supporting gain of function research in the case of Ralph Baric – who shared his deadly research tactics with scientists in Wuhan.

During his tenure, he appeared to serve as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) point person spearheading the agency’s collaborative research with efforts, including leading a delegation to China in 2011 to sign a memorandum of understanding with a military-link Chinese entity known as the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). The NFSC ultimately became one of several funders – including Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) – supporting the controversial work manipulating bat coronaviruses by the Wuhan Institute of Virology and EcoHealth Alliance.

HUGH & THE CCP.​

In 2010, former NIH Director Francis Collins had entered the U.S. government into a joint agreement with the NSFC to facilitate “cooperation in medical research.”

He “expressed his hope to further push the substantial collaboration between researchers in medical sciences of the two countries by taking the advantage of the NSFC-NIH Memorandum of Understanding,” notes an NSFC summary.

The following year, a 16-person delegation from the NIH – headed by Auchincloss – visited Beijing to meet with their Chinese Communist Party counterparts to solidify “carry[ing] out the funding of joint research programs.”

As an NSFC press release notes:

“34 projects were selected for joint funding over the meeting. The two sides also held discussions on topics such as priority areas or the next round and evaluation and funding mechanisms. Besides a workshop on funding management was held following the evaluation session and staff member from both sides shared experience and ideas on issues ranging from peer review process to post-funding management. The meeting has been highly recognized by both sides as a milestone in the collaboration between NSFC and NIH.”

Beyond describing itself as a state-owned scientific body that is “guided by President Xi Jinping’s Socialist Thoughts” and “earnestly implementing the spirit of the Party’s 19th National Congress,” the NSFC has collaborated extensively with the regime’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

The Natural Science Foundation of China’s 2020 funding guidelines identify “innovative research in defense and military and civilian integration” as receiving “preferential” funding. The foundation also inked a 2016 “strategic cooperative agreement” with the Science and Technology Committee of the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Military Commission – the regime’s paramount military policy-making body.

Annual reports from NSFC reveal several researchers from PLA-run institutions received millions in funding.

Over 75 studies funded by the NSFC were conducted by researchers working for Chinese Communist military-run institutions.

Studies funded by NSFC have also been conducted by researchers from various branches of the PLA General Hospital including Wuhan-based facilities.

Studies conducted by researchers from the Artillery Academy of the PLA and Unit 63880 of the PLA, which is a “key military and national base for testing electronic information systems under electromagnetic environments,” have also enjoyed NSFC funding.

In addition to funding PLA researchers, the NSFC has also explicitly co-sponsored projects alongside the PLA.

Studies carried out under a controversial NIAID grant to EcoHealth Alliance, which funded bat Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)-like coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, also identify NSFC as financially supporting the research.

Five studies focusing on bat coronavirus research from 2016 to 2018 list both NIAID and the NSFC as their primary funders, including a 2016 study authoredby EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak and the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s Shi Zheng-li focusing on the “modulation of the host immune response” in bat SARS-like coronaviruses. Daszak and Shi appear together on two other SARS-like coronavirus studies in 2017and 2018.

WHAT DOES HUGH KNOW?​

Auchincloss’s intimate role in fostering collaboration between China and the U.S. on scientific research, perhaps even the studies that scientists allege have led to the creation of COVID-19, also comes amidst Fauci sending him panicked emails about the potential “gain-of-function” research that occurred at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Dated February 1st, the email obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request from Fauci to Auchincloss stated:

“Hugh,
It is essential that we speak this AM. Keep your cell phone on. I have a conference call at 7:45am with Azar. It likely will be over by 8:45am. Read this paper as well as the e-mail that I will forward you now. You have tasks today that must be done.
Thanks,
Tony.”

The academic paper included on the message is titled A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence and focused on manipulating viruses to understand better how they might attach themselves to humans.

The abstract explains:

“Using the SARS-CoV reverse genetics system, we generated and characterized a chimeric virus expressing the spike of bat coronavirus SHC014 in a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV backbone. The results indicate that group 2b viruses encoding the SHC014 spike in a wild-type backbone can efficiently use multiple orthologs of the SARS receptor human angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2), replicate efficiently in primary human airway cells and achieve in vitro titers equivalent to epidemic strains of SARS-CoV.”

February Fauci Email.

During a recent deposition of Fauci, he also appeared to blame aides – likely Auchincloss – for granting exceptions to researchers conducting deadly gain-of-function research such as Ralph Baric. While discussing the research activity of Baric, who has been described by Wuhan Institute of Virology bat coronavirus researcher as a “longtime collaborator”, Fauci explicitly pointed to Auchincloss as responsible for giving Baric an exemption to the agency’s ban on the deadly form of research.

Undercover Video: World Health Summit Member Admits Global Lockdowns ‘Not Based on Science’​

Infowars.com
December 10th 2022, 12:08 pm

"Although we didn't know the scientific basis of those decisions, people had to comply and we think it worked," says West African participant.

Undercover footage from the World Health Summit 2022 in Berlin, [Rebel News] Germany shows a participant admitting that global lockdowns recommended by the elite were rooted in politics, not science.

The World Health Summit, in partnership with the World Health Organization, held a three-day conference in October featuring 300 speakers and 3000 participants to discuss the global response to COVID-19 and future pandemic responses.

A member the German-West Africa Center for Pandemic Prevention (G-WAC), funded by Germany’s Federal Foreign Office, explained to an undercover Rebel News reporter that most of the policy decisions recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) during the COVID pandemic were not scientifically sound.

“In the heat of the pandemic, most of the decisions were not based on science like I said. They were just reactionary. Anything that would help,” the G-WAC member said.

“Now, with the benefit of hindsight, we can tell that some of those decisions is not backed by science.”

“The vaccines do not stop the spread of the disease. But now we know,” he added.

The G-WAC member went on to claim that ordering people to comply with arbitrary lockdown orders was a good decision, but probably wouldn’t happen again in light of new evidence that the lockdowns did virtually nothing to slow the spread of COVID-19.

“At first, nobody knew so it was political, yes, but we think it helped in flattening the curve as well,” he said. “So a decision had to be made. Although we didn’t know the scientific basis of those decisions, people had to comply and we think it worked.”

“A lot of things that happened during COVID wouldn’t have happened, from what we know now. People are much more prepared than they were before,” he added.

He also admitted that “some scientific processes may have been sidestepped or overlooked” by the pharmaceutical companies “so we could have vaccines.”

Despite the many speakers and topics, the negative consequences or ethical implications of imposing global lockdowns were not discussed at the summit.

These remarks, though maddening, are not surprising given the WHO and World Economic Forum’s stated goals for the world coming out of the COVID pandemic are not based on science, but control: vaccine passports, and central bank digital currencies as part of a social credit score system.

European Union to Ban Cash Transactions over €10,000​

Frank BergmanDecember 10, 2022 - 3:55 pm0

The European Union is introducing new laws that will ban transactions over €10,000 ($10,557) in a major push toward an eventual cashless society.

However, the laws also seek to impose stricter controls on cryptocurrency and will track crypto payments above 1,000 euros ($1,055).

EU leaders ostensibly claim that the new restrictions are aimed at fighting money laundering.

While announcing the new set of new directives, the EU boasts that the move will make it more difficult to use cash and crypto for criminal purposes.

However, the new rules will also make it illegal for people to use cash for legal purchases, such as buying a car.

On November 6, the bloc approved a new limit for cash payments that will apply to all of the countries that are part of the union.

The new rule does not include any provision for the cap to be raised, but it does allow countries to reduce the limit even more.

Currently, Spain has one of the lowest limits in this regard, allowing citizens to only pay up to €1,000 ($1,055) with cash.

Although, the European Central Bank (ECB) did express its disagreement with this back in 2018 when the institution qualified the measure as “disproportionate” as it could limit the usage of cash as an effective legal tender.

It’s not just cash payments that will be affected by this new round of measures.

Other sectors including jewelry and goldsmithing will also face heightened control from the organization.

Zbynek Stanjur, minister of finance of the Czech Republic, stated:

Cash payments of more than 10,000 euros will be impossible.
Remaining anonymous when buying or selling crypto assets will be much more difficult.

Hiding behind several layers of corporate ownership will no longer work.

It will be even more difficult to launder dirty money with jewelry or goldsmithing.

The EU will also introduce a new country system classification that will reflect the level of compliance of each one with Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations, including gray and black lists.

As Stanjur stated, cryptocurrencies will also be included as part of this set of measures.

The European Union agreed that crypto transactions moving over €1,000 ($1,055) in value will face due diligence inquiries by the virtual asset service providers (VASPs) facilitating them.

Also, the European Union will subject VASPs to the same level of anti-money laundering and terrorism financing scrutiny that other financial institutions already face.

These exchanges and custody providers will have to introduce risk mitigation elements when dealing with self-hosted wallets, and other specific measures directed to control cross-border payments using cryptocurrency.

The planned destruction of our food system is well underway, under the banner of “redesigning” it for greater “equity.” At the end of September 2022, the White House hosted the Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health,1 during which President Biden laid out a “bold goal” to “end hunger and increase healthy eating and physical activity by 2030.”2

The stated goal is to end diet-related disease, while simultaneously “closing disparities among the communities that are impacted most.”3 At first glance, it may seem that government finally taking an interest in nutrition and realizing its impact on health is great news. But things are not at all what they seem.

Beware the Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

A long list of businesses and civic, academic and philanthropic organizations were identified during this conference as having been chosen to pave a new path to health and well-being for all.

To highlight just a few of these alleged saviors, DoorDash, Google and Warner Bros. are among those responsible for improving food access and affordability. Danone, Dole, Instacart and Walgreens will empower consumers to make and have access to healthy choices, and the Rockefeller Foundation is part of the group that will tackle enhanced nutrition and food security research.

I’m sure you’re feeling warm and fuzzy already, knowing your health and food security are in such capable and responsible hands.

To start, Biden has earmarked $8 billion to fund businesses that will perform nutrition screening and integrate nutrition into health care, startups focusing on solutions to hunger and food insecurity, and philanthropy that “improves access to nutritious food, promotes healthy choices, and increases physical activity.” But as reported by investigative journalist Corey Lynn:4

“The narrative is to convince everyone that it is due to COVID and climate change, and therefore, these ineffective so-called leaders will suddenly have the people’s best interest at heart and finally get the job done.

The reality is, the economic decline due to the lockdowns, manufactured supply chain disruptions, putting thousands of companies out of business, intentional inflation, and health conditions exploited during and after the orchestrated plandemic is what has created a loss of income, inability to afford food and gas, and complete disruption in everyone’s well being.”

The Three-Fold Goal
As detailed by Lynn, the goal behind this “food revolution” is three-fold, and has nothing to do with actually improving access to healthy foods and lowering disease burden. It’s really all about controlling the population through food, by:5

1. Getting as many people as possible into SNAP (supplemental nutrition assistance) and WIC (women, infants and children) programs so that purchases and spending can be controlled through digital food tokens. Ultimately, the goal is to move everyone into a socialist food system based on government assistance tokens.

2. Integrating food and nutrition with health care so that food and health policies are under one umbrella. This will facilitate the creation of new policies, funding and control over both areas. Food purchases and health records will be linked to your vaccine passport/digital identity, which also holds your educational records, travel records, work records and bank accounts.

“It is one big master plan. By training thousands of physicians in this new model of ‘food is medicine,’ rolling out nutritional screening, medical meals, and produce prescriptions, they are laying the groundwork for all of this,” Lynn writes.6

“‘Food is Medicine’ are THE keywords being used to campaign, launch programs, change policies and financing, aggregate data, tie the health care industry in with the food supply, and ultimately screen, track, and control people through food.”

3. Changing food standards, food categories and nutrition — Traditional farming of grains and plants will be replaced with indoor vertical growing of patented GMO seeds, while animal farming will be regulated into oblivion in order to be replaced by insect farms (so-called micro livestock), gene-edited food and lab grown meat.

History Is Repeating Itself
It may be tempting for some to believe that government has finally had a change of heart, and is really intent on improving public health by addressing nutrition and giving it the central role it deserves.

If this is you, I would urge you to consider the history of how we got here in the first place, and how the same players that destroyed our food system the first time are now pretending to be our saviors yet again.

John D. Rockefeller was the one who got food OUT of medicine 112 years ago through his funding and implementation engineering of the Flexner Report. Now, more than a century later, the Rockefeller Foundation is pretending to put food back in. However, careful scrutiny reveals the real motivation and goals are identical.

A century ago, nutrition was eliminated from medicine in order to take control of the medical system and make it reliant on oil-derived patented drugs that cannot cure the underlying cause of disease. Now, the goal is to control the food system by combining it with medicine, which they already have complete control over.

This way, they can “prescribe” patented foods like they prescribe medicines. Your doctor can put you on a diet of cricket meal instead of red meat to prevent heart disease, and once digital identity, central bank digital currency (CBDC) and/or food tokens are in place, you’ll have no choice but to comply.
Your tokens won’t work to buy anything but what your doctor prescribed.

Rockefeller’s Plan to Monopolize Medicine, Banking and Food
The Rockefeller family has a long history of destroying functional systems in order to replace them with something that benefits themselves and/or addresses the global overpopulation problem.7

For example, together with General Motors, Rockefeller secretly bought up and dismantled the public transportation system in the U.S., to promote the need for a family car. They also replaced electric streetcars with gas-guzzling busses to expand their petroleum business.

In 1902, Rockefeller funded the establishment of the General Education Board, through which he intended to control public education. Other oil-backed schemes to mold and reshape the American education system followed, including a scheme to alter the teaching of American history to promote a view of collectivism, as well as a program culminating in the transformation of the practice of medicine.

Naturopathic-based herbal medicine was the norm at that time, and Rockefeller set out to shift the medical industry toward using oil-derived pharmaceuticals instead. To that end, the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research was established in 1901, headed up by Dr. Simon Flexner who, at the time, was a professor of experimental pathology at the University of Pennsylvania.

Flexner’s brother, Abraham, was contracted to write a report on the state of the American medical education system, and his study, The Flexner Report,8 published in 1910, paved the way for Rockefeller to completely overhaul the American medical system.

As a result of this report, virtually every natural medical therapy was criminalized and practitioners were put out of business and replaced with “scientific” doctors who were taught to prescribe patentable synthetic drugs, invented in the oil cartel’s own research centers.

Around that same time, Rockefeller also seized control over the U.S. financial system through the creation of the Federal Reserve, established in 1913. The Rockefellers have been powerbrokers in the banking industry ever since.

They also sought to consolidate control over the global food supply, using philanthropy as their cover. The Rockefeller Foundation funded the Green Revolution that led to the introduction of petroleum-based agricultural chemicals, which quickly transformed agriculture, both in the U.S. and abroad.

President Johnson’s “Food for Peace” program mandated the use of petroleum-dependent technologies and chemicals by aid recipients, and countries that could not afford it were granted loans from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. The Rockefeller Foundation also funded the “gene revolution” that brought us patentable genetically modified seeds.

Today, The Rockefeller Foundation is part of The Great Reset cast, which seeks to gain total control over every person in the world — financially, medically, physically and psychologically. And now, finally, Rockefeller’s dream to control all aspects of the food system — in addition to finance, medicine, energy, transportation and education — is coming to fruition.

Part 2 of 2

How The Rockefeller Foundation Will Reset Your Table

In July 2020, just as the COVID pandemic was gaining steam, The Rockefeller Foundation published a report titled “Reset the Table: Meeting the Moment to Transform the U.S. Food System.”9 In it, they claim the COVID pandemic had caused “a hunger and nutrition crisis” in the U.S. “unlike any this country has seen in generations.”

Mind you, COVID was declared a pandemic March 11, 2020, so by the time this Rockefeller report was published, the pandemic had only existed for four months, and while certain high-risk groups did experience food insecurity, such as children whose primary meal is a school lunch, widespread food shortages, in terms of empty shelves, were not widely prevalent or particularly severe in the U.S.

Be that as it may, according to the Foundation, the pandemic revealed deep problems in the U.S. food system that need to be “reset.” Coincidentally, “Reset the Table” was published just one month after the World Economic Forum (WEF) officially announced its plans for a “Great Reset,” and many of the contributors to the Foundation’s paper are WEF members.10

There are many interesting tidbits in this document. For example, on page 3, it states that “94% of deaths from COVID-19 among individuals with an underlying condition, the majority of which are diet-related.” This is surprising, considering diet and nutrition were essentially absent from public discussions and reporting about the infection.

On page 10, the Foundation declares that “food is medicine,” and that by “Investing in healthy and protective diets,” Americans will be able to “thrive and bring down our nation’s suffocating health care costs.” The report goes on to call for the expansion of produce prescription programs, as “dietary health and COVID-19 outcomes are clearly linked.”

That’s basically been my teaching for the past few decades, and even more so during the pandemic, which finally earned me the honor of being labeled the leading disinformation spreader in the U.S. Yet, here is The Rockefeller Foundation, wholeheartedly agreeing — at least in theory because when it comes down to it, their definition of a healthy diet is diametrically opposed to mine, and probably yours too.

Bastardizing the Notion of a Healthy Diet
For the past several years, the WEF has been promoting the idea that we should get used to eating weeds and bugs,11 as insect farming is far less expensive, requires few natural resources such as water, and could reduce agricultural pollution by nearly 99%. For years, the WEF has also promoted the idea that lab-grown animal foods and genetically engineered crops are the only way to feed the world and save the planet.

Not surprisingly, the word “organic” does not appear a single time in the Rockefeller Foundation’s report, and the word “natural” is only used in reference to “natural disasters.” This despite the word “healthy” being used 33 times and the word “sustainable” 17 times.

The term “alternative proteins” appears once, and there’s no mention of “grass fed.” In other words, their versions of “healthy diet” and “sustainable agriculture” do not include any of the basic criteria for a truly healthy, nutritious, sustainable and regenerative food supply.

Considering its close networking with the WEF, it seems reasonable to conclude that the “healthy diet” the Rockefeller Foundation keeps referring to is one of weeds and insects, and that the kinds of changes to legislation and norms they intend to push through are ones relating to what constitutes “food.”

How They Intend to Seize Control of the Supply Chain
“Reset the Table” describes how they intend to seize control of the food supply and the supply chain under the guise of “equity,” “fairness” and “environmental protection.” These are the exact same catch-words used in Biden’s Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health.

One key to this enterprise is data collection. They want to collect data on everyone’s spending and eating habits. To that end, the Foundation wants everything to shift into an online environment, including medicine and the buying of food. This, of course, makes everything you do far easier to monitor and track. As noted by Lynn, getting people into SNAP and WIC programs and using digital food tokens will enable monitoring and control as well.

A third key to success is “changes to policies, practices and norms.” This undoubtedly includes campaigns to change people’s views about insects as a source of food, and related legislation. Lastly, the goal is to centralize control of the food supply into a single executive office, which is right in line with the idea of a one world government.

In her article, Lynn goes on to cut through the layered smokescreens to tease out the real intentions behind the hype. Here, I will focus on the two that I think are most important. I encourage you to review the rest in Lynn’s article.12

The ‘Food Is Medicine’ Smokescreen
In 2023, a partnership between The Rockefeller Foundation, the American Heart Association and Kroger supermarket chain will launch a “Food is Medicine Research Initiative” to generate evidence for the health sector’s food is medicine programs, and “accelerate public understanding and use of ‘food is medicine’ programs as an integral part of the health care system.” Lynn notes:

“Of course, food is medicine, but that’s not the true intention of this initiative. By integrating food under medicine just imagine how this will change the landscape of the control mechanisms being put in place under the guise of health care.

This isn’t the only avenue the Rockefeller’s are using to orchestrate this shift in food control. They are also one of the major funders of the Center for Good Food Purchasing,13 along with W.K. Kellogg Foundation … and the 11th Hour Project – the grant-making vehicle of the Schmidt Family Foundation – former Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

The stated goal of this ‘Center’ is to manage the Good Food Purchasing Program, which is all about getting institutions to convert over to their ‘supply chain transparency from farm to fork and shift towards a values-based purchasing model’ …

Blue Cross is working with Reinvestment Partners who manages the Eat Well program that provides produce prescriptions to enrolled participants. It is electronically linked to a loyalty card for access to be used at participating grocery stores … The Rockefeller Foundation funds Reinvestment Partners …”

The Healthy Food Assistance Trap
The trap being laid out for us is that of a controlled socialist food system. Getting as many as possible into food assistance programs is the first step. Soon, food assistance will also be incorporated into Medicaid. As noted by Lynn, this is not unfounded conspiracy theory. The cabal openly reveals the true intent in a wide variety of reports and documents.

For example, in the graphic below, included in a 2018 report14 by the Illinois Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Task Force, they show how they intend to control your “healthy eating token” usage through digital identity and digital currency. In the illustrated case, a cheeseburger is not permitted to be purchased, as it’s identified as an “unhealthy food purchase.”

1670718697081.png

While the example involves a welfare applicant using benefit tokens, this system will, without doubt, expand to include all people and regular currency. It’s only a matter of time. This is how it begins. And whereas early models will identify fruits and vegetables as healthy foods, what’s “healthy” will change as their control over agriculture and food manufacturing deepens.

Rest assured, government’s healthy food recommendations will never be accurate and true. As proof, I give you the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy’s Food Compass,15,16 unveiled in late 2021 as the latest and greatest in nutritional science, to be used henceforth to guide health care and nutrition assistance programs in their selections.

According to the Food Compass, you’ll be healthier if you replace whole egg, cheddar cheese and ground beef with literal candy. THIS is the tool slated to determine the types of foods nutrition assistance programs and health care will prescribe.

In this nutritional guidance tool, Lucky Charms, Frosted Mini Wheats, Honey Nut Cheerios, ice cream cones, chocolate covered almonds and almond M&Ms all have higher nutritional scores than cheddar cheese and ground beef.17

1670718758973.png

According to the Food Compass, you’ll be healthier if you replace whole egg, cheddar cheese and ground beef with literal candy. Can there be any doubt that its purpose is to lead people away from wholesome natural foods, toward processed junk foods? And THIS is the tool slated to determine the types of foods nutrition assistance programs and health care will prescribe.

Why It’s so Crucial to Understand the Plan
As noted by Lynn, “A helping hand is always nice until it has ulterior motives.” And when it comes to government suddenly giving nutrition top billing as a focus for health care, we can be sure there are ulterior motives at work.

Recession
“Sure, physical activity for all and the reduction of sugar in food items are both welcome approaches,” Lynn writes,18 “but the rest of this agenda is not in the best interest of human beings.

The problem is, when reviewing this [White House] Fact Sheet19 it may seem like a good idea, just as while reviewing a single white paper from the WEF could even sound like it has the potential to be a good thing. However, when one takes the Fact Sheet with countless white papers, websites, funding, and other internal documents and puts it all together — it paints quite a different story.

They know full well that most people won’t gather all of the pieces of the puzzle so they won’t be able to see the reality of the situation and discern the true agenda. That’s why it is so critical to do just that.

Imagine if one refuses to eat bugs — they may not receive proper health care. Or what happens if one refuses to go on the food token program and only eat as instructed? Did they just lose their ability to receive health care? … What happens if edible vaccines hit the market and they try to make it mandatory as part of ones diet? …

Just as with their other agendas that all tie into this one, the narrative control is being piped out by universities, medical associations … and many others to bring a whole new outlook on what a nutritional diet should look like to prevent disease … and gene-edited produce, insects, and cultured cells seem to be the top priority.

This may seem like a slow burn, but they are clicking multiple pieces of the structure into place simultaneously, and when that burn finally reaches inside people’s homes, in their cabinets, fridge, and wallets, it will be too late to roll back all of the policies and regulations that have locked into place. That is why it is so critical to continue getting this information out and fighting against these control mechanisms.”
