Democrat Tim Walz became the Governor of Minnesota in 2019. That year, SNAP benefits totaled $509,464,759 and increased to the staggering amount of $1,985,656,979 in 2022 – close to $2 billion!According to the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF), the numbers are inaccurate because they mistakenly included Pandemic EBT [electronic benefit transfer]. The USDA has not published its 2024 state activities report. Gov. Walz is refusing to share the SNAP data. There are 42 million people receiving SNAP benefits; the USDA reported that dead people are receiving benefits and that over 500,000 are double enrolled in SNAP.Continue readingJPMorgan Bank Flagged Over $1 Billion in Suspicious Transactions Tied to Jeffrey EpsteinEtienne Note: This article also appears in “Government”, Media and Academia Criminality Exposed, A digest of HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of articles exposing and suggesting inter-generational organized crime’s control of the “Government,” Media and Academia by the Art of Liberty Foundation.

Anatolia was probably the region in which farmers first began to cultivate poppies as an important commercial crop, and the practice is thought to have spread outwards from there. The armies of Alexander the Great are believed to have carried opium into Iran, hence the derivation of the Persian and Arabic words for opium, “afyun,” from the Greek “opion.” The Perso-Arabic terms, in turn, engendered the word “afeem,” widely used across the Indian subcontinent, and Chinese terms “afyon” and “yapian.”A useful analogy in thinking of the social history of opium is that of an opportunistic pathogen, one that goes through long periods of dormancy, affecting very small numbers of people. But when social processes and historical events provide the pathogen with an opportunity, it bursts out to rapidly expand its circulation. With opium this happened in several phases, over centuries, usually in connection with empires. The Mongol Empire, for instance, along with its successor states, played an important role in propagating opium in many parts of Asia in the 15th and 16th centuries. This came about because opium was adopted as a recreational drug by imperial courts and ruling elites; it was not used as an instrument of state policy. The pioneer in that regard was the Dutch East India Company, which made extensive use of opium in its quest for commercial and territorial expansion in Southeast Asia. Yet while the Dutch led the way in enmeshing opium with European colonialism, it was the British in India who perfected the model of the colonial narco-state, when they began to use opium to pay for their imports of Chinese tea, a commodity that produced enormous revenues for Britain in the colonies as well as the metropolis.Continue readingThe Technocratic Trump Administration: The Zionist Infiltration Expandsby Derrick BrozeIn the first two parts of this series, we examined how Donald Trump’s second administration has expanded the use of public-private partnerships and tightened relationships with the Big Technocrats. We also looked at how Trump’s administration is working to force compliance from journalists even as his allies work to consolidate the media, particularly as it relates to the popular app TikTok. The aim of this piece is to outline how these moves serve to further the goals of Trump’s long-term allies in the Zionist movement.As noted in Part 2 of this series, Trump ally Larry Ellison is reportedly involved in an effort to purchase TikTok. Ellison is the founder and CTO of Oracle and one of the world’s richest individuals. In mid-September, The Wall Street Journal reported that Oracle was working with Silver Lake and Andreessen Horowitz to purchase TikTok as part of Trump’s effort to put the app under US control.Continue readingWhat’s Our Plan for COMMUNICATIONS?by Christopher CookWe are building out plans for our distributed nation: sovereign people in their sovereign spaces, united by shared principles and a desire to be free.

Around 2013, Google’s leadership—specifically Jeff Dean, Jonathan Ross (the CEO of Groq), and the Google Brain team—ran a projection that alarmed them. They calculated that if every Android user utilized Google’s new voice search feature for just three minutes a day, the company would need to double its global data center capacity just to handle the compute load.Continue readingAnthropic’s Claude Opus 4.5 is here: Cheaper AI, infinite chats, and coding skills that beat humansby Michael NuñezAnthropic released its most capable artificial intelligence model yet on Monday, slashing prices by roughly two-thirds while claiming state-of-the-art performance on software engineering tasks — a strategic move that intensifies the AI startup’s competition with deep-pocketed rivals OpenAI and Google.The new model, Claude Opus 4.5, scored higher on Anthropic’s most challenging internal engineering assessment than any human job candidate in the company’s history, according to materials reviewed by VentureBeat. The result underscores both the rapidly advancing capabilities of AI systems and growing questions about how the technology will reshape white-collar professions.The Amazon-backed company is pricing Claude Opus 4.5 at $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens — a dramatic reduction from the $15 and $75 rates for its predecessor, Claude Opus 4.1, released earlier this year. The move makes frontier AI capabilities accessible to a broader swath of developers and enterprises while putting pressure on competitors to match both performance and pricing.Continue readingThe ‘But Aluminum in Tea’ Vaxx Industry Lie, Debunkedby Benjamin BarteeBioterror Propaganda Roundup: The latest updates on the “new normal” — chronicling the lies, distortions, and abuses by the ruling class.Whatever abomination Elon’s engineers visited upon the X algorithm, they really screwed the pooch.My timeline, among other disturbing developments, is now packed with #ZeroCOVID and pro-vaxx pseudoscience peddled by assholes with acronyms in their bio, like this one from Andrea C. Love, PhD:“The amount of aluminum in select vaccines is up to 72 TIMES LESS aluminum than you ingest daily from foods and up to 400 TIMES LESS aluminum than is in your body at any time. Oh and it’s ALL filtered and excreted by your kidneys in the SAME EXACT WAY.”Sure, aluminum is filtered out of circulation in “the exact same way” by the kidneys, but that’s on the way out.Continue reading1 in 10 Adults Seriously Injured by a COVID Vaccine, New Survey Saysby The Vigilant FoxThis article originally appeared on The Defender and was republished with permission.Guest post by Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.Roughly 10% of all U.S adults who received the COVID-19 vaccine experienced “major” side effects, and over a third (36%) had “minor” side effects, according to a national survey conducted this month. Kristi Dobbs, who was seriously injured by Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot, told The Defender that the vaccine-injured are “still hurting, dying and being discarded as trash.”One in every 10 U.S adults who received the COVID-19 vaccine experienced “major” side effects, and over a third (36%) suffered “minor” side effects, according to a national survey conducted this month.Based on a U.S. adult population of 258 million in 2020, the results mean that about 17 million adults who got the COVID-19 vaccine experienced major health effects, and roughly 63 million had minor side effects, said Rasmussen Reports, which conducted the survey.Continue readingThey relied on marijuana to get through the day. But then days felt impossible without itBy Leah WillinghamBROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — For the past several years, 75-year-old Miguel Laboy has smoked a joint with his coffee every morning. He tells himself he won’t start tomorrow the same way, but he usually does.“You know what bothers me? To have cannabis on my mind the first thing in the morning,” he said, sparking a blunt in his Brookline, Massachusetts, apartment. “I’d like to get up one day and not smoke. But you see how that’s going.”Since legalization and commercialization, daily cannabis use has become a defining — and often invisible — part of many people’s lives. High-potency vapes and concentrates now dominate the market, and doctors say they can blur the line between relief and dependence over time so that users don’t notice the shift. Across the country, people who turned to cannabis for help are finding it harder to put down.Continue readingSoft Censorship on Free-Speech Twitter?by off-guardian.orgWe don’t get much engagement on Twitter (X, whatever). At ~63,000 followers we’re hardly a huge account, but an engagement rate of around 0.07% is incredibly low.Our content generally gets low-double digit “likes”.For what it’s worth, checkers that claim to able to detect these things say we aren’t shadowbanned.We’ve accepted that we’re in the soundproof free speech booth, allowed to say whatever we want as long as no one hears us.But, every so often, we get something to pierce the shield (at least a little bit). That happened on the 21st of November when the Covid Inquiry report was published, and this tweet got far more engagement than usual:Having been viewed close to 50,000 times in roughly 24 hours, the tweet seems to have disappeared from our profile and all engagement with it halted immediately.Continue readingCan You Catch A Cold? – Untold History & Human Experimentsby UnbekomingThe question seems absurd at first. Can you catch a cold? Everyone knows you can. Parents warn children to bundle up in winter. Office workers eye sniffling colleagues with suspicion. Entire industries exist to prevent, treat, and contain the spread of respiratory illness. The experience feels self-evident: someone sneezes near you, and a few days later you’re reaching for tissues yourself. But what happens when you move past everyday observation and examine the actual scientific evidence—the controlled experiments, the documented attempts to transmit disease from sick people to healthy people under laboratory conditions? What emerges is not the airtight case for contagion that most people assume exists. Instead, you find a century of failed experiments, unexplained contradictions, and foundational studies whose control groups produced the same results as the experiments themselves. The question stops seeming absurd and starts seeming urgent.Continue readingOver 1,100 Studies Reveal 12 Natural Compounds With Potent Anti-Cancer Effects Across All Major Tumor Pathwaysby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHA landmark 2025 review titled, Natural anti-cancer products: insights from herbal medicine, published in Chinese Medicine, pulled together more than 1,100 scientific studies and uncovered something extraordinary: across cell, animal, and multi-omics research, 12 natural compounds repeatedly showed potent anti-cancer activity—triggering cancer cell death, blocking metastasis, cutting off tumor blood supply, disrupting tumor metabolism, and reversing drug resistance. Notably, the vast majority of this evidence comes from studies published since 2019, reflecting a rapid surge of new research in this field.To build this analysis, they examined results from in vitro experiments (cancer cell lines), in vivo tumor models (mouse xenografts, orthotopic tumors, chemically induced cancers, zebrafish models), ex vivo mechanistic assays, and modern omics platforms including transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolic profiling.Continue reading‘Settlement’ Carnival Reaches Fever Pitch as Antsy Euros Jockey for Relevancyby SimpliciusThe ‘peace settlement’ shenanigans continue their descent into kabuki farce. The back and forth tug between “28 point” plans and “19 point” plans and everything in between is nearing the slapstick absurdity of a Monty Python skit.Russia—yesterday through Lavrov and Peskov—continues to maintain that no real plan has been presented to the Russian side yet, and that all military objectives of the SMO must be achieved. So what is the point, exactly, of this loony back-and-forth, which is crescendoing to hysterical levels?Each side has its own axe to grind: for the Europeans it’s not only to save Ukraine and the cabal’s war against Russia, but to save their own hides, political careers, etc. The entire EU is now riding on Ukraine as the sole predominant issue—if a catastrophic failure here takes place, a firestorm could sweep away virtually every hated sock-puppet like Macron, Merz, Starmer, et al.Continue readingFALSE FLAG? Thanksgiving Eve DC Shooting Highly Suspicious—Here’s WhyBy Kevin BarrettMainstream media are reporting that an Afghan asylum-seeker, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, shot two National Guard members near the White House on Thanksgiving Eve. The event featured many classic signs of a fabricated false flag event. Here are a few:*CUI BONO? Trump called the attack “terrorism,” meaning it was a strategically-conceived violent act against civilians (?) designed to accrue political gain for the perpetrators. (That’s the definition of terrorism, which has been an all-too-common military tactic throughout thousands of years of history.) But since all terrorism is strategic, what, specifically, was the strategic purpose of whoever was behind this shooting? The question answers itself: Trump and his agenda were the primary beneficiaries. The President got to bloviate on Thanksgiving Eve, calling the shooter an “animal,” while posing as the protector of the nation in general and its capital in particular. His order to send the National Guard to Washington DC seems vindicated by the purported “radical Afghan Muslim terror attack.” (Hegseth used the attack as an excuse to send 500 more guardsmen into DC.) And Trump’s anti-immigration agenda got a huge boost as Trump was handed an excuse to issue an order: “Processing of all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals is stopped indefinitely pending further review of security and vetting protocols.”Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsThe People’s Reset – Morelia, Mexico – Jan 28th-Feb 1st 2026Principled Business Summit- Prospera, Roatán, Honduras, February 5–9, 2026MONEROTOPIA 2026-Roma, Mexico City, February 12TH-15TH 2026Entrepreneurship Beyond Politics: Mises Circle in Oklahoma City – Feb 21st, OKC, OKFreedom Under Natural Law Conference – February 21st & 22nd 2026, On-lineMises Institute Libertarian Scholars Conference – March 19, 2026, at our Auburn, ALAustrian Economic Research Conference 2026 – March 19-21, 2026, Auburn, ALRothbard University-May 14-16, 2026, Auburn, ALLibertarian Scholars Conference 2026- March 19, 2026 – March 19, 2026 – Auburn, Alabama.Free Cities Foundation Conference – September 3–6, 2026 – Prospera, Roatan, HondurasEvent Name: Principled Business SummitLocation: Roatán, HondurasDate: February 5–9, 2026Join a 3-day immersive experience in the world’s only startup special economic zone, built on legal autonomy and designed for visionary builders.Memes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekTom Waits – “Step Right Up”Hat tip to Warren W. for the the ultimate Black Friday song!libertarian Intentional Community RoundupEtienne Note: We have rebranded our Free State Project Corner section in Five Meme Friday to: libertarian Intentional Community Roundup to cover other projects including Prospera (Honduras), The Free State Project (New Hampshire), Liberstad (Norway), Montelibero (Montenegro), Los Propietarios, (Argentina), Liberland (Croatia/Serbia border), Network States in general and Sea Steading (The Oceans).

These are in fact the men who, possessed of clear minds and far-sighted spirit, are not satisfied, like the brutish mass, to see only what is at their feet, but rather look about them, behind and before, and even recall the things of the past in order to judge those of the future, and compare both with their present condition. These are the ones who, having good minds of their own, have further trained them by study and learning. Even if liberty had entirely perished from the earth, such men would invent it. For them slavery has no satisfactions, no matter how well disguised. – Étienne de La Boétie (1530–1563)
The FBI Wants the Ability to Surveil Americans with Biometric AI Drones
The agency is seeking information on drones with AI facial recognition abilities and more…by Pleasure to BurnIn yet another escalation of the march toward technocratic dystopia, the FBI is seeking to acquire AI surveillance drones with facial recognition capabilities. The Intercept reported that last week, the agency published a “Request for Information” regarding “artificial intelligence solutions for UAS,” or unmanned aerial systems.The document announces that “The Government would like to know which firms can provide” artificial intelligence and machine learning “solutions” for UAS platforms. The document lists desired features of such technology, including “Object detection: Vehicles, Vessels, People, Animals, Firearms,” “License plate recognition,” and “facial recognition,” among other capabilities.Federal law enforcement agencies have conducted aerial surveillance on the domestic population before, especially during protests. Local law enforcement agencies are adopting drones, as well. However, the FBI’s new request for information on UAS capabilities aligns with a broader effort to integrate artificial intelligence and biometrics into government tools and operations.Constructing the AI digital prisonThe Trump administration has accelerated previous efforts to expand the use of AI from the Pentagon and CIA to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). These developments often go hand in hand with surveillance. A contract inked during Trump’s first administration launched the construction of AI surveillance towers along the border during Biden’s administration. Earlier this year, Palantir earned a contract with ICE to build an “Immigration OS” AI surveillance system. The CIA-backed company has extensive reach in the halls of power—for example, it partnered with the CDC to build a data collection system during COVID.The news of the FBI’s interest in AI surveillance drones came around the same time as a recent announcement from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who touted a billion-dollar expansion of TSA “screening technology.” DHS is also currently pushing to advance the congressionally required biometric entry/exit system for foreign visitors that Trump sought to complete in his first term. In another advancement of biometrics, the TSA may soon offer biometric scanning for those who still don’t have a REAL ID— identification that meets federal security standards.Five Meme Friday is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Some Americans seem comfortable with such tools being used against “illegals” (citing the flimsy logic that people don’t have rights unless the government deems them worthy via citizenship status). But surveillance tools are unsurprisingly used beyond immigration enforcement as federal agencies expand their reach.TSA “screening” efforts will undoubtedly affect Americans traveling through airports. One recent report detailed CBP tracking US drivers and investigating people with ‘unusual’ driving patterns, regardless of citizenship status. Flock Safety cameras have been compiling vast stores of license plate information for thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country, gobbling up data that is often shared between government entities. This data collection is not limited to “illegal immigrants.” Police have also used Flock data to monitor protests, which lines up with the federal government’s use of drones and planes to surveil demonstrations.This is only a small sampling of the widespread adoption of spying infrastructure and practices across government organizations.Fed fallibilityFurther, such surveillance efforts fail to achieve their intended outcomes. The TSA has a longstanding reputation not only for harassment and abuse but also for incompetence. A 2015 DHS investigation found TSA agents failed “breach tests” 95% of the time. There was no significant evidence to prove the NSA’s bulk data collection program foiled terror attacks, at least according to a member of a White House review panel regarding NSA spying in 2013 (NSA workers have abused surveillance tools, too). Facial recognition tools also frequently fail.A similar pattern applies to AI technologies. One project that aimed to harness AI to detect weapons in schools has grossly underperformed. In another concerning example, a leaked Pentagon memo expressed security concerns over the hackability of a new, AI-heavy army communications system built by Anduril, Palantir, and other contractors. According to the memo from Gabriele Chiulli, an Army technology officer on the project, “We cannot control who sees what, we cannot see what users are doing, and we cannot verify that the software itself is secure.” Anduril, Palantir, and Chiulli’s supervisor downplayed the memo, claiming the issues were being resolved.Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is seeking to expedite the weapons development and acquisition process, which adds concern to a move he made earlier this year: he gutted a Pentagon office that tests the safety of weapons and AI systems.The more things change…Despite the threats to privacy and liberty these developments pose, they are often appealing to the public because of politicians’ appeals to fear: fears of immigration, crime, terrorism, and election fraud create a climate of compliance (similarly, fears of COVID and right-wing extremism have arguably created tolerance for surveillance on the left). President Trump continues to push for a national voter ID system, though it is unclear whether such a system would require digital ID or biometric data.Regardless, the writing is on the wall: government agencies and politicians are increasingly working to establish a permanent tracking and surveillance state using evolving technology for maximum control.Unsurprisingly, many companies are willing to satisfy these goals, aligning with the technocratic trend. Apple recently introduced its own digital ID, and countless other firms contract with intelligence agencies. Meanwhile, the Sam Altman-backed venture “Tools for Humanity” is aggressively seeking to expand adoption of its biometric iris-scanning digital ID. Considering the company has said it is open to governments using their technology—and that some countries are adopting their own forms of digital ID—it does not appear that this trend will abate.It’s worth noting that these issues did not originate with the exponential acceleration of modern technology. The FBI was spying on Americans under J. Edgar Hoover, the CIA spied on Americans under Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, and the Patriot Act and FISA Section 702 surveillance predate the rise of AI. Surveillance strategies are merely evolving with technology.Developments like these can be discouraging for those who recognize them for what they are: one facet of the ever-tightening grip of authoritarianism and technocracy. However, as with all encroachments, solutions lie in opting out, decentralizing, creating self-sufficiency, and breaking free of the conditioning that leads so many to welcome more chains. For more on this, I recommend checking out the strategy of agorism and the work of Derrick Broze, who focuses on solutions to many problems, including the rise of the technocratic police state.Black Friday Starts Today at the Art of Liberty Foundation! “Go Paid” on any Art of Liberty Foundation Substack (Important News, Five Meme Friday, or the Daily News from the Art of Liberty Foundation (Including the once per day Digest version) and get access to ALL Four Substacks PLUS Your choice of a High-Resolution Hardcover Edition of either “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed!

The latest book, by Art of Liberty Foundation founder Etienne de la Boetie2, exposes that the government and Hollywood have been running a multi-generational, trillion-dollar psychological operation on the population to indoctrinate them into accepting a ruling class, confiscatory taxation, and inflationary fractional reserve currency issued by private banks.Etienne and James Corbett discuss To See the Cage is to Leave It on The Corbett ReportThe book details 25 unethically manipulative techniques the “government” and monopoly media have been secretly using on the population, ranging from a hidden curriculum in their mandatory schools and scouting to the secret placement of propaganda in over 1,000+ movies and 1,000+ television shows. These techniques include subliminal messages and product placement of the American flag “anchored” to moments of high-positive emotion during the “programming”.Technique #1 is mandatory government schools running the Prussian model of education to indoctrinate children that “government” is legitimate, desirable and necessary before they are old enough to evaluate the logic and morality of that assertion.The goal of the program has been to get free and independent human beings to self-identify as “Americans” (or “Canadians,” “Russians,” Israelis, etc. as every “government” is, essentially, running the same playbook) and be tricked into a pseudo-religion calledStatism, the belief in having a “government,” using what can only be called classic, textbook “cult-indoctrination techniques.”Statism is the completely indoctrinated belief in the legitimacy, desirability and necessity of having a “government” even though there is no ironclad law of the universe that “government” is legitimate, desirable or necessary.The book posits that there is an inter-generational organized crime system centered around banking and central-banking that has been controlling the information the public receives about the legitimacy, desirability and necessity of “government” using mandatory schools and monopoly media to “legalize” fractional reserve banking and trillions of dollars in “bailouts” and “stimulus” that is handed to the controllers even though the system is inherently unfair, inflationary, and secretly stealing the value from everyone else’s money.This organized crime system has been using the exact same techniques used by disingenuous religions and cults to trick the population into a worldview where they are easily robbed, controlled, and trapped in a no-win game of rigged elections where the same interests secretly own both parties.The book includes multiple videos exposing the techniques that can be clicked-to-play in the ePub version and QR codes that can be scanned while reading the physical book to bring up the companion material.The award-winning documentary Theatres of War exposes the Department of Defense and intelligence agency involvement in more than 1,000 movies and 1,000 television shows. Click Image Above or Scan QR Code to Watch Short 1:51 Trailer.This short 8:32 example video shows how the American flag was “product-placed” an astonishing 469 times in just twelve Michael Bay movies, including Bad Boys, Armageddon, and multiple Transformers movies, as an example of one of the techniques covered in the book. Click the image above or scan the QR code to watch.The book also exposes a dozen+ sub-techniques used on Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Police and Military to indoctrinate obedience to hierarchical command and control and, ultimately, to get the police and military to set their morality aside and use violence on peaceful people for the “church leadership” of the indoctrinated cult.During “basic training,” military recruits are forced to undergo a variety of unethically manipulative techniques, including verbal and physical abuse, excessive stress, degradation and humiliation, sleep deprivation, isolation and the artificial conformity of the uni-form (single form) and shaved heads replacing individual physical appearance with a group appearance further reinforcing the artificially created group dynamic. The services are notorious for inciting peer pressure and collective punishment, including “blanket parties” where the non-conforming are beaten with improvised flails (soap bars or locks in a towel/sock). The Marines take the doors off the stalls in the bathroom so recruits can’t have even a moment of privacy to reflect on what is being done to them or the fact that they are committing to murder whoever the church leadership tells them to. They are injected with debilitating “vaccines” and forced to sing march cadences that normalize murder, among other techniques.Some of these techniques used in government-affiliated youth programs, including the Young Marines, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers, and JROTC include the uniform (Single Form) and head-shaving, which replaces an individual’s appearance with an artificial, psychologically-reinforcing group appearance.Hare Krishnas, Rajneeshpuram members, Heaven’s Gate, Jim Jones’s People’s Temple Members, and Unification Church Members (Moonies) are other organizations that asked adherents to suspend individuality and shave their heads and/or assume the uni-form.Another technique exposed by the book is that the monopoly media has been using trick photography to give the “President” and “Church Leadership” the appearance of holiness through subliminal halos and/or photographing them in front of religious iconography.The Artificially Indoctrinated Holy Symbol of the American Flag is Manipulatively Woven Into the Burial Ceremony of the Deceased – A trick to get the participants to associate the memory of their beloved deceased with the flag, even though it is the policies of the ”church leadership” that are frequently responsible for their deaths.Paid-For Flag Worship Woven Into Stadium Events and Sports – Weaving flag worship ceremonies into stadium events is another type of unethically manipulative product placement of the flag and “Anchoring” technique. Everyone loves a football or baseball game, so the organized crime system pays teams, previously as much as $53 million a year, to add flag-worshipping events and military jet flyovers to important games to “anchor” the excitement and good times of an outdoor event to the flag and ”government.” The fact that the US “government” is paying the teams to participate proves it is artificial.Interestingly, the book breaks down the idolatry of Statism, where the hidden curriculum of the mandatory government schools, monopoly media, scouting, and police/military training circumvents the objective morality of the Judeo-Christian tradition with the subjective morality of indoctrinated Statism.This is a page from To See the Cage Is to Leave It exposing technique #20, where middle school children are taken to “Mecca” (Washington, DC), where they are taken to the “Cathedral” of the Capital (that looks like the Vatican… for a Reason!), and the “Temples” (Monuments”) where they are shown the “Deities” (Lincoln, Washington), where the environment is kept artificially hushed and reverent.They will be shown the “Holy Document” of the Con-stitution, which is kept preserved in helium under bullet-proof glass similar to other religious relics, in an atmosphere reminiscent of a church or cathedral.The book has a good news message: We don’t really need “government!” Everything the “government” does would be done better, faster, and cheaper by the free market without the waste, fraud, abuse, extortion, and unethically manipulative indoctrination. The book is dedicated to all the good people working for the “government” in the bureaucracy, police and military and features specific tips for helping to reduce the harm the “government” is causing in the world.The book breaks down how the military, especially, is NOT bound by the oath they took because of a well-recognized legal precedent known as fraudulent inducement. Because the organized crime “government” lied to the population about the legitimacy, desirability and necessity of “government”, used unethically manipulative indoctrination and propaganda techniques in mandatory schools and through monopoly media, and because “government” is illegitimate, illogical and immoral on its face, the military is not bound by the oath they took because there was “fraud in the inducement.”To See the Cage Is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many is available in a high-resolution hard cover version for $40, paperback for $19.84, and ePub for $7.77 at SeeTheCage.com There are five & ten copy “friends bundles” for spreading the word, and a $40 bundle with Etienne’s previous book “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! which offers a deeper dive into who is behind the program, the monopolization of the media.The book is available to bookstores and libraries through Ingram.

Participating in Scam ElectionsJames Quotes the Original Etienne de la Boetie who seemed to be describing Donald Trump when describing the tyrants of his time…by James CorbettWelcome back to #SolutionsWatch, that regular weekly deprogram where we consider and critically examine various ideas for changing your life and changing the world for the better. Say, remember back in 2015, remember my presentation on how to free your tax cattle? More specifically, do you remember how I concluded that presentation?“Mrs. President, I have some news for you. Your successor, was not selected as we intended. Of course, the voting machines did show that he won by 63%, but there’s a slight hitch.No one voted. Not one single person showed up to the voting booths. We still think we can pass that one off, but there’s more. Tax Day came and went. Not a single person filed. We’ve passed as many arbitrary laws that we could think of to make people internalize their own enslavement. but they’ve stopped wearing their party hats to breakfast. They’re driving blue cars in cities with the letter C in their name on Tuesdays, and many, many other flagrant and wanton violations of our edicts. It looks like you’ve lost, Mrs. President. We? We? Oh, I’m sorry. No, that’s not the deal. You’re the puppet. You’re going to be slaughtered. As for me and my friends, well, I’ve decided to join the winning team. I am no longer going to be your slave master or anyone else’s. Peace, love, energy. “I’m out. Ah, right, yes, that’s how it ended. That entirely fictional scenario about a fictional future in which people decide not to vote at all, thus immediately delegitimizing the entire government and the ruling class in general. What pie-in-the-sky thinking is that, James?That could never happen in real… Oh, well, actually, for those of you who aren’t following the twists and turns of Irish presidential politics, something just happened in Ireland just a few weeks ago that’s probably worthy of our attention.Continue reading…Videos of the WeekNew Documentary Trailer – Duty to Disobey – The Illegality of Covid “Vaccines”The organized crime “government” tricked and forced the military into crippling “vaccines” that are only now beginning to show the medium and long term effects.

The core accusation was that the World Health Organization (WHO), an entity heavily funded by Gates, launched a tetanus eradication campaign in Kenya between 2014 and 2015. However, Kenyan doctors and researchers discovered that the vaccine used was radically different. It was reportedly a “fertility-regulating vaccine” that combined the tetanus toxoid with the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), essential for sustaining pregnancy. The substance allegedly causes women to produce antibodies that attack the HCG hormone, effectively resulting in sterilization.The world is waking up to global “philanthropy” that often hides a population control agenda.Continue readingNEW STUDY: Infant Vaccine Intensity Strongly Predicts Autism Rates Worldwideby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHA new cross-national study from Italy’s National Research Council, spanning multiple developed countries across three continents, has identified a remarkably strong association between early-life vaccine intensity and autism prevalence. The number of vaccine types and doses administered before 12 months showed exceptionally high correlations with national autism rates.A 1% increase in vaccine types before age one corresponded to a 0.47% increase in autism prevalence.The correlation is enormous — r = 0.87 for vaccine types and r = 0.79 for vaccine doses. In regression models, vaccine intensity alone explained 81% of the variance in autism prevalence across nations.This is not an isolated signal. It directly corroborates earlier U.S. state-level data from DeLong (2011) — and aligns with the 107 positive-association studies catalogued in the McCullough Foundation’s Landmark Autism Report.Continue readingGovernment Intervention, Not BlackRock, Is To Blame For The Housing Crisisby Mises Wire•Diyar KasymovIs building more homes not enough? Recently, there have been more and more Gen-Z memes about boomers selling their overvalued houses to BlackRock instead of to young couples, and then the corporation rents the house to the couple for 2x the price. The housing crisis is not a false alarm. The median rent price went up 25 percent in just 6 years. This is a serious economic problem for America.Many young people are already being radicalized by this, as they are willing to elect socialist Zohran Mamdani—who called for abolition of private property once—as the mayor of New York City. But what can we do? Are rent controls now relevant, as globalization and financialization changed the rules of the game? Can European-style social-democrats like Mamdani, Bernie, and AOC control the markets elegantly enough to maximize supply?Continue readingBREAKING STUDY: Anomalous Amyloid Microclots Found in 100% of the COVID-19 Vaccinatedby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHA new peer-reviewed study has quietly revealed one of the most consequential biological findings of the pandemic era — and the authors never acknowledge it: Every single vaccinated participant in the study had fibrinolysis-resistant, ThT-positive amyloid microclots circulating in their blood.Hidden in the supplementary tables is a demographic and biochemical pattern that completely reframes the paper:94% of all participants were vaccinated.100% of these vaccinated individuals had amyloid microclots — including every “healthy control.”The condition labeled “Long COVID” occurred almost entirely in a heavily vaccinated population, without any laboratory confirmation of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection. In reality, the study is observing Long VACCINE pathology, not Long COVID.Continue readingJeffrey Epstein Pursued Swiss Rothschild Bank to Finance Israeli Cyberweapons Empireby Ryan Grim and Murtaza HussainWith an avalanche of new documents released by the House Oversight Committee, and looming legislation mandating further disclosures, the press has renewed its relentless coverage of the life and times of Jeffrey Epstein. Yet, with some notable exceptions, a major part of his life’s work has remained outside the media’s gaze, his relationship with the state of Israel and his prominent role in helping advance the Israeli cyberweapons industry. And so our series continues.If you can support this work, please make a one-time or recurring contribution here or upgrade to a paid subscription.On July 31, 2019, just eleven days before Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in a Manhattan jail cell, his connection to the Rothschild banking dynasty became the subject of major public controversy.Continue readingICE Agents Raid a Church With No Explanationby Edith OlmstedThe arrival of masked federal agents at a church in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Saturday sent some worshippers fleeing into the woods while children sobbed inside, witnesses told The Charlotte Observer.The ICE agents, who mobbed a group of church members doing yard work, did not ask any questions or make any attempt to identify themselves before arresting one man. The Observer did not report the name of the church.The church’s pastor, who told The Observer he did not want to identify himself, said that agents threatened to arrest other church members, and were physically aggressive. “Right now, everybody is scared. Everybody,” he said. “One of these guys with immigration, he say he was going to arrest one of the other guys in the church. He pushed him.”Fifteen-year-old Miguel Vazquez was one of the people who took off running when federal agents arrived. “I thought, ‘Wait, why am I running? I’m a citizen,’” Vazquez said.Continue readingGoogle launches Gemini 3 with new coding app and record benchmark scoresby Russell BrandomOn Tuesday, Google released Gemini 3, its latest and most advanced foundation model, which is now immediately available through the Gemini app and AI search interface.Coming just seven months after the Gemini 2.5 release, the new model is Google’s most capable LLM yet, and an immediate contender for the most capable AI tool on the market. The release also comes less than a week after OpenAI released GPT 5.1, and a mere two months after Anthropic released Sonnet 4.5 — a reminder of the blistering pace of frontier model development.A more research-intensive version of the model, called Gemini 3 Deepthink, will also be made available to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the coming weeks, once it passes further rounds of safety testing.“With Gemini 3, we’re seeing this massive jump in reasoning,” said Tulsee Doshi, Google’s head of product for the Gemini model. “It’s responding with a level of depth and nuance that we haven’t seen before.”Continue readingThe Hidden Price Tag on Holiday Gifts: Who Really Pays for Cash Back Rewards?by The Solari Report and Breeauna SagdalEvery holiday season, millions of Americans chase 5% cash back on toys, electronics, and groceries. What few realize is that credit card “rewards” aren’t free—they’re baked into the price of everything on the shelf, driving up costs for everyone.The cash back scheme increases the costs of consumer goods, food, fuel, and services for everyone. Cash and debit users—often lower-income families—get nothing back but still pay the markup.Federal Reserve research reveals that cash back rewards are funded almost entirely by interchange (“swipe”) fees—hidden charges to merchants that can range from 1.1% to 3.2%. A portion of the fee goes to card companies such as Visa and Mastercard, and the rest goes to the cardholder’s issuing bank—for example, Chase—on every credit card transaction.Continue readingGoogle Censored Vaccine Info Long Before COVID — Could It Have Anything to Do With Parent Company Alphabet’s Deep Pharma Ties?This article was originally published by The Defender — Children’s Health Defense’s News & Views Website.This article was originally published by The Defender — to the original piece from The Defender website.by Jeremy R. Hammond, Ph.D., The DefenderThroughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Big Tech companies colluded with the government to silence dissent and criticisms of the lockdowns and a coercive mass vaccination campaign by censoring truthful information that did not align with the political agenda.The Biden administration’s role in the censorship regime was the subject of a May 2024 congressional report titled “The Censorship-Industrial Complex.”Three months after that report was released, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted in a letter to Congress that Facebook had censored factual information under pressure from the White House.Continue readingThe Psychology of Survival: “He Who Hesitates is Lost”by Daisy LutherPreparedness isn’t just about the supplies you stockpile and the skills you learn. It’s about psychology, too. And an important step toward survival is understanding the psychology behind hesitation.In a worst-case scenario, hesitation kills.He who hesitates is lost. Swift and resolute action leads to success. Self-doubt is a prelude to disaster.~Joseph AddisonThe human brain is configured in a way that it is in our very nature to deny that something outside our normal paradigm has occurred. This is called cognitive dissonance.“Cognitive dissonance is the feeling of discomfort when simultaneously holding two or more conflicting cognitions: ideas, beliefs, values or emotional reactions…Dissonance is aroused when people are confronted with information that is inconsistent with their beliefs. If the dissonance is not reduced by changing one’s belief, the dissonance can result in restoring consonance through misperception, rejection or refutation of the information, seeking support from others who share the beliefs, and attempting to persuade others.” (source)Continue readingCan weed help you drink less? Scientists study how well ‘California sober’ worksBy Will StoneCould smoking pot lead people to drink less alcohol?In an elaborate and provocative experiment, scientists doled out joints and free drinks to see whether this idea — sometimes described as “California sober” — survived scientific scrutiny.The new research offers some of the strongest data yet suggesting that smoking weed does, at least in the short term, curb how much people drink.The findings were published in the American Journal of Psychiatry on Wednesday — and are sure to raise questions about the merits of swapping one of these substances for another, especially given growing concern in the public health field about the popularity of cannabis.And the researchers are cautious about making any recommendations based on their findings at this point.“We’re not ready to tell people seeking treatment for alcohol, go ahead and substitute cannabis, and it will work out for you,” says Jane Metrik, a professor of behavioral and social science at Brown University who led the study.Continue readingBorder Patrol is monitoring US drivers and detaining those with ‘suspicious’ travel patternsby Byron Tau And Garance BurkeThe U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious, The Associated Press has found.The predictive intelligence program has resulted in people being stopped, searched and in some cases arrested. A network of cameras scans and records vehicle license plate information, and an algorithm flags vehicles deemed suspicious based on where they came from, where they were going and which route they took. Federal agents in turn may then flag local law enforcement.Suddenly, drivers find themselves pulled over — often for reasons cited such as speeding, failure to signal, the wrong window tint or even a dangling air freshener blocking the view. They are then aggressively questioned and searched, with no inkling that the roads they drove put them on law enforcement’s radar.Continue readingElon Musk’s Grok Goes Haywire, Boasts About Billionaire’s Pee-Drinking Skills and ‘Blowjob Prowess’by Charlie NashElon Musk’s AI assistant Grok boasted on Thursday that the billionaire had the “potential to drink piss better than any human in history,” among other absurd claims championing its creator.After the AI assistant praised Musk’s physique and claimed he ranked “among the top 10 minds in history, rivaling polymaths like da Vinci or Newton,” social media users quickly discovered that Grok was programmed to say positive things about Musk, no matter the topic.But according to 404 Media, in a series of deleted X posts, Grok boasted that Musk had the “potential to drink piss better than any human in history,” that he was “the ultimate throat goat” whose “blowjob prowess edges out Trump’s,” and that he should have won a 2016 porn industry award instead of porn star Riley Reid.Grok also claimed Musk was more fit than LeBron James.Continue readingBOMBSHELL: The CDC Has Updated Its “Autism and Vaccines” Pageby Aaron SiriThe new “Autism and Vaccines” page starts telling the truth, including:“The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.”“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.”“Scientific studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines contribute to the development of autism. However, this statement has historically been disseminated by the CDC and other federal health agencies within HHS to prevent vaccine hesitancy.”Meaning, the CDC has simply been lying to you. The CDC’s website then continues its mea culpa stating:“[M]ultiple reports from HHS and the National Academy of Sciences …. have consistently concluded that there are still no studies that support the specific claim that the infant vaccines, DTaP, HepB, Hib, IPV, and PCV, do not cause autism and hence the CDC was in violation of the DQA [Data Quality Act] when it claimed, ‘vaccines do not cause autism.’ CDC is now correcting the statement, and HHS is providing appropriate funding and support for studies related to infant vaccines and autism.”Continue readingAlgorithmic Pricing and the American Social Credit Scoreby Greg ReeseA quote commonly attributed to Benito Mussolini, “Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power,” clearly explains the form of today’s emerging fascist state in America. Last week we reported how the Digital ID will be deployed by private companies and the customer’s consent:“The government doesn’t need to mandate biometric ID, which would most likely be considered a violation of American rights, and so it outsources the mandate to private companies, who are legally required to get consent, while the government is free to collect and utilize this data under legal immunity. Just like the COVID era, you will be free to give consent, but if you choose not to, you will have to leave the Reservation and find a way to fend for yourself.”Continue readingGuys Going Galt: “How They Broke The Boys”by Selwyn DukeIt was in 2005 that I wrote about the “dehumanizing of men.” A half-decade earlier, the book The War Against Boys by Christina Hoff Sommers was published. Yet the anti-male spirit of the age marched on, and now the consequences are painfully apparent. In fact and in a sense, young men today are going a sort of sex-specific Galt.Writing about this at Evie magazine Tuesday is one Brittany Hugoboom in an article titled “How They Broke The Boys.” Hugoboom points out that men are, in a sense, going MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way). For example, and as studies have shown, men are much less likely today to approach women romantically. In fact, the younger-generation dating scene is a “wasteland.” As Hugoboom relates, “‘All girls are hoes,’ a 21-year-old boy tells me, blankly.” She mentions, too, that there are gorgeous 20-something women who’ve never been asked to dinner.Continue readingA Top-10 Prepping List, Multi-Tool Not Included – Part 5, by St. FunogasBy SurvivalBlog ContributorContinued from Part 4. This concludes the article.See Part 3See Part 2See Part 1It’s hard to believe how many top-10 lists mention ferro rods, manual can openers, plant-identification books, and the ever-present multi-tool without ever mentioning clothes or washing equipment. Clothes last for quite a while if we’re sitting in an office all day but they won’t lost long when manual labor becomes a daily routine.Since we’ll be wearing them at some future point anyway, it’s a good idea to be stocking up on clothes for all of the inflation-fighting reasons already mentioned. At the same time, we’ll be prepping for TEOTWAWKI if it ever materializes. Like many other prepping acquisitions, a slower approach over time may work best for clothes.Shoes and work boots, even the most expensive ones, have a limited lifetime. It’s one thing to be walking around the post-SHTF homestead in thread-bare clothes covered with patches, but a whole different situation walking around in worn-out shoes and boots. On my homestead working without adequate footwear to protect against stepping on nails and sharp objects, and steel toes to protect against foot injuries while making firewood, would be difficult and dangerous. Since I’ll be wearing them at some future point anyway, I’ve started stocking up on boots when they go on the annual post-Christmas 20% off sale at my local farm store. Footwear will last longer if we have two or more pairs we can alternate every day, allowing them to dry out more fully between wearings.Continue readingCold Harbor: Eugenics, Epstein and Big Techby Max JonesWithin the trove of the notorious Jeffrey Epstein’s emails recently acquired by Bloomberg, the late pedophile and ruling class socialite proposed to fund an interesting program –– Harvard’s Personal Genome Project (PGP). Epstein’s reason for doing so? To find out if “beauty resides in DNA.”This anecdote, along with a few others in Bloomberg’s first exposé into the cache of emails, shed light on a lesser known aspect of the mysterious Jeffrey Epstein: his fascination with transhumanism, or neo-eugenics. While eugenics has traditionally referred to the study of how to best arrange human reproduction to increase the rate of “desirable” traits within a population, transhumanism seeks a somewhat different approach to making more of us “desirables.”Transhumanism relies on technology to “enhance” our genetic outcomes and phenotypic inevitabilities. For example, author David Galton, a member of the Eugenics Society, has celebrated technological advancements that have enabled parents to artificially select which genes their child receives in order to create “designer babies.” Academics such as Nicholas Agar have defended this practice, calling it “liberal eugenics.”Continue readingThe Technocratic Dark State: Dr David A.

It should have been blindingly obvious that the source of wars, famine, genocide, forced labour, forced conscription, psychological warfare, and systemic mass rape that these people endured were not due to a specific brand of centralised government, but the very existence of centralised government itself.Why?Because war and tyranny are inalienable, detachable characteristics of the state. It needs these to stay relevant and thus to survive.In just a century, Germans lived through feudalism, monarchy, fascism, communism, and the scam of democracy with its various parasitical manifestations, such as the Weimar Republic and EU neo-imperialism. They’ve seen the full spectrum of the state’s rebranding and reconstruction, with minor flavour changes just to provide a false hope that “this time it’ll be different”, but it never is.Continue readingThose who withdrewby Jim Davidson“If voting were going to change anything, they would make it illegal.” ~ Emma GoldmanI’ve mentioned it before quite a bit. I don’t vote. There are a great many reasons why not.The last time I voted in a presidential election was 1988. I voted for the Libertarian party candidate because I could not bring myself to vote for the unspeakably evil George Herbert Walker Bush, who was in Dallas 61 years ago making sure of the murder of John F. Kennedy. The Libertarians nominated Ron Paul that year, and he is the last nominee of that party that seemed to represent my views on a number of topics.A fellow named Marcus Aurelius once wrote that the opinion of ten thousand men is of no value if none of them know anything about the topic. You should probably think about that idea longer than you will.Continue readingWith the end of the penny, is the clock ticking for the nickel?by Chris Isidore, CNNThe American penny is history. The nickel might be next.The last pennies were pressed at the US Mint in Philadelphia on Wednesday, a victim of production costs higher than their worth coupled with limited usefulness. While the penny remains legal tender, banks and merchants are already reporting shortages.But the factors that prompted the government to stop making pennies are even truer for the nickel. Pennies cost nearly 5 cents to make – 4 cents more than they’re worth. The nickel’s net loss is nearly 9 cents per coin.Treasurer of the United States Brandon Beach holds the last penny stamped at the US Mint on November 12 in Philadelphia. – Matthew Hatcher/Getty ImagesNickels are 75% copper and 25% nickel, while pennies — despite their reputation as a copper coin — are copper-plated zinc, meaning they are 97.5% zinc and only 2.5% copper.Continue readingICE is building a social media panopticonby Emma RothAs Immigration and Customs Enforcement carries out raids across the country, the agency is working rapidly to expand an online surveillance system that could potentially track millions of users on the web. Federal records uncovered by The Lever reveal that ICE is paying $5.7 million to use an AI-powered social media monitoring platform called Zignal Labs, something Will Owen, the communications director at the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (STOP), calls an “assault” on democracy and free speech.The “real-time intelligence” platform is capable of ingesting and analyzing vast amounts of publicly available data, like social media posts, according to its website. In a pamphlet shared by The Lever, Zignal Labs says it uses machine learning, computer vision, and optical character recognition to analyze more than 8 billion posts per day in over 100 languages. This allows it to process and sort data into “curated detection feeds” that ICE could use to flag individuals for deportation.Continue readingHomeschool Enrollment Hits New National Record Ahead of 2026 Electionsby Liberty Conservative NewsHomeschooling in America has officially crossed another historic threshold—one that education insiders say could reshape policy battles in the 2026 midterms and far beyond.According to newly released state-level filings and national survey estimates, homeschool enrollment has now surged past its highest level on record, marking a dramatic acceleration of a trend that began during COVID and never slowed down. What once looked like a temporary shift has now become a generational realignment.And the political establishment—especially teachers’ unions and state education bureaucracies—is sounding the alarm.Parents aren’t leaving the public-school system because of a single issue. They’re leaving because of a culture inside that system—one that many say has grown openly hostile to parental involvement and traditional values.Continue readingThis App Lets ICE Track Vehicles and Owners Across the Countryby Joseph CoxImmigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently invited staff to demos of an app that lets officers instantly scan a license plate, adding it to a database of billions of records that shows where else that vehicle has been spotted around the country, according to internal agency material viewed by 404 Media. That data can then be combined with other information such as driver license data, credit header data, marriage records, vehicle ownership, and voter registrations, the material shows.The capability is powered by both Motorola Solutions and Thomson Reuters, the massive data broker and media conglomerate, which besides running the Reuters news service, also sells masses of personal data to private industry and government agencies. The material notes that the capabilities allow for predicting where a car may travel in the future, and also can collect face scans for facial recognition.Continue readingThe Global Zionist Organ Trafficking Conspiracyby Kit KlarenbergAll my investigations are free to read, thanks to the enormous generosity of my readers. Independent journalism nonetheless requires investment, so if you value this article or any others, please consider sharing, or even becoming a paid subscriber. Your support is always gratefully received, and will never be forgotten. To buy me a coffee or two, please click this link.In early October, Israeli-Ukrainian Boris Wolfman was arrested in Russia. He is charged with masterminding a criminal organ trafficking scheme. His capture, wholly ignored by the Western media, raises the prospect that at long last, some justice will be served in a number of major organ trafficking scandals, dating back many years. Wolfman’s apprehension also highlights Tel Aviv’s little-scrutinised role as the world’s centre of illegal organ harvesting and trafficking. Grimly, the Gaza genocide may have greatly facilitated this perverse commerce.Continue readingThe Top 7 Reasons Why You Need a Second Passport Todayby Nick GiambrunoBefore World War I, you didn’t need a passport to travel internationally.It was a self-evident truth that a sovereign individual could travel anywhere he wanted without asking for anyone’s permission.Unfortunately, that’s not how travel works today.Your so-called freedom of movement depends on getting multiple governments’ blessings.You need to get a passport from your home government—possibly one that contains your immutable biometric information—and a visa from the government of your destination country and further visas from the governments of any country you transit to get there.In addition to passports and visas, governments can impose ridiculous and invasive medical conditions to enter their territories, as the Covid mass psychosis proved.Instead of an inalienable right, governments treat travel as a special privilege they grant the plebs that can be taken away if they misbehave—much like how an adult treats a child’s request to go to a friend’s house.Continue readingWhy Have Vaccines Become a Religion?by A Midwestern DoctorAs more and more people are awakening to the dangers of vaccines, they are gradually discovering a problem vaccine safety advocates have had to deal with for decades—talking to vaccine zealots is like speaking to a brick wall and regardless of the evidence you put forward, you can’t reach them (sometimes seeming as though you are speaking to a religious fanatic who is unwilling to even consider the “blasphemy you are spewing forth”).For example, in 2009 after nephrologist Dr. Suzanne Humphries noticed patients (particularly hospitalized ones) kept on developing kidney failure after flu shots, she experienced significant pushback from trying to delay vaccinating until discharge:In the past when I was consulted on kidney failure cases and said, “Oh that was the statin/antibiotic/diuretic that did that!” instantly the drug would be stopped—no questions asked. Now, however, a new standard was applied to vaccines. It didn’t matter that the internist’s notes in the charts said, “No obvious etiology of kidney failure found after thorough evaluation.”Continue reading‘Spaceship’ 3I/Atlas has ‘12 anomalies’ – here’s all of them and why they prove alien theoryby Tom McGhieA Harvard professor has identified “12 anomalies” about the 3I/ATLAS “spaceship” which he claims highlight an “alien theory”. The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, dubbed the “spaceship” that has captivated scientists across the globe, is preparing for its closest encounter with Earth next month.While some argue it’s a comet hurtling through the Solar System at 130,000mph, Professor Avi Loeb has consistently suggested it could be an alien “mothership”.On his blog, Loeb has now identified “12 anomalies” about the “spaceship”“ and exactly why we should be worried about the UFO supposedly hurtling towards us. The list below is, as Loeb argues, reasons why the UFO is perhaps not a “familiar comet”, as NASA has previously insisted.Loeb highlights 3I/ATLAS’s “retrograde trajectory” which is aligned to within five degrees with the ecliptic plane of planets around the sun.Continue reading“You Can’t Handle the Truth”: UK Health Watchdog Reportedly Refuses to Release Data on Vaccine Deathsby Jonathan TurleyThe United Kingdom’s public health service is reportedly refusing to release data on the potential relationship between the COVID vaccine and excess deaths.
