This article was previously published January 24, 2021, and has been updated with new information. In this interview, Dr. Peter Martone, a Boston-based chiropractor and physiologist, shares some incredibly important techniques that can help you achieve proper cervical posture while sleeping, as well as other strategies to help prevent degenerative disc disease. About 10 years ago, when we first met at an event, Martone pointed out I had problems in my cervical spine. I ended up going to see him for a proper diagnosis. Digital X-rays revealed degeneration in the fifth and sixth vertebrae. Martone prescribed a set of home treatments that I've been doing ever since. He describes what motivated him to, in part, reinvent how he looks at chiropractic:
What Causes Degeneration?"Use it or lose it" is one of the adages that apply to your physical body, both muscles and bones. If you don't use a joint for a long time, degeneration sets in. As noted by Martone, "your body adapts to the consistent stresses placed on it over a long period of time." How then do you regenerate that degeneration? It stands to reason that if lack of motion has caused degeneration of a joint, restoring motion causes regeneration. By looking at a person's X-rays, Martone is able to pinpoint how long the damage has been accruing, which will then give him an idea of how to "backtrack" and undo the damage based on the various laws governing physiology.
How Cervical Curvature Is DamagedMartone has developed a hybrid approach involving exercise and chiropractic adjustments to regain ideal cervical curvature, improve disc height and help resolve degeneration over time. Martone struggled with chronic back pain for about 15 years, then herniated L5 about five years ago in a mountain biking injury. His own recovery led him to understand how your sleeping position can influence your recovery and regeneration. After reviewing 2,000 X-rays, he discovered a pattern previously unmentioned in the literature. He concluded that his own longstanding back problems were not due to extreme sports; rather, the problem originated in his neck.
In summary, when your head comes forward, your body compensates. Your psoas major muscle goes into spasm, which rotates your pelvis. The psoas major is made up of a series of overlapping fascicles or bundles of fibers that connect bilaterally to your lumbar intervertebral discs. The spasms weaken the particular disc the psoas major is attached to, thereby allowing it to herniate. Also, because your head is in a forward position, your body loses proprioception — balance and awareness in space — which causes your spine to curve. Your head weighs about 15 pounds, and when your head is forward, with your chin jutting out, it places enormous stress on your neck, which then contributes to arthritic changes. It also decreases cerebrospinal fluid flow. What's the Solution?Part of Martone's solution was to figure out how to properly support his cervical spine while sleeping. Initially, he came up with a novel way to do that using a down pillow to support his neck, not his head. Chiropractic adjustments are also important, as this will encourage your body to replenish the water in the degenerated disc, thereby increasing the space between the vertebra. Martone explains:
A third strategy that is really important is working on restoring your balance. As mentioned, when your head is in forward position, you lose proprioception, which in turn ends up atrophying a portion of your brain called the vermis.
Weight DistributionYour bilateral weight distribution also plays a role in your spinal curvature and health. Martone uses two scales during his initial evaluation to ascertain whether the patient is distributing their weight more onto the right or left foot. Your body follows where your eyes go. So, if you lean your head to one side, you're going to put more weight on that side. If you have damage in your neck, cervical spine or any part of the atlas, scar tissue may be holding your head to one side or the other, causing you to lean and have uneven weight distribution. This too will cause your spine to curve in order to keep your head straight.
The Rationale for Sleeping on Your BackMartone believes it is critically important to sleep on your back in a neutral sleeping position. However, there are a large number of people whose airway will close during the night. This can easily be prevented by applying paper tape over your lips before you go to sleep. I have been doing this for a few years now and is part of my night time ritual. He explains:
The Neck NestYou know you're in the correct position when your eyes are looking straight up toward the ceiling and your chin is pointed up to the ceiling as well. Martone eventually developed Neck Nest1 — a special pillow designed to provide ideal support for the cervical spine. When used in conjunction with other treatment strategies, it's been shown to restore the natural 45-degree angle in the neck.
Cervical Traction Units and Weighted HeadbandsMartone also likes to integrate the use of cervical traction units that you can put over your door. I've been using such a device for a few years now, and it seems to have a powerful synergy with the nighttime passive traction. Martone explains the purpose for active cervical traction:
Another device that is widely recommended is the use of a weighted headband that you wear. As you lean your head to one side, you stimulate and strengthen the muscles on the opposite side. I've been doing this for a few years as well, and my X-rays show a fairly significant improvement. It's important to note that I was never symptomatic. I had no neuropathies, no nerve tingling or pain, but it's key to address any abnormality as early as possible. The earlier you address it, ideally before you have symptoms, the more likely you are to resolve it at a deep fundamental level. Again, ideally, you'd want to hit it from several angles, getting regular chiropractic adjustments, sleeping on your back with proper cervical support, and using a cervical traction device. As explained by Martone:
More InformationIn our interview, we also review a number of ways you can improve your sleep more generally, aside from sleeping on your back, so for more details, be sure to listen to it in its entirety. If you're committed to improving your sleep and cervical spine, consider getting Martone's Neck Nest pillow. On his site, you'll also find X-ray images of patients before and after using the Neck Nest pillow, showing visible improvement in their cervical spine curvature. Again, early diagnosis is important, since it gives you much more time to counteract the damage taking place. Had Martone not diagnosed my problem, which I had no idea I had, it would have continued to degenerate, causing problems in my later years. As noted by Martone, you cannot degenerate and regenerate at the same time. You're going one way or the other. Had I not taken action to regenerate my cervical spine, it eventually would have fused, Martone says. Fusion, in turn, results in lack of motion, nerve compression and atrophy of the central nervous system. And, since each nerve goes somewhere, a range of effects can take place. Perhaps it affects your thyroid gland or throat. Tingling in the fingers can occur, or weakness in your arm. Once you have bone-on-bone fusion, there's very little you can do to restore your function. So, truly, prevention is the name of the game here. It's so key, which is why I'm excited to share Martone's knowledge with you. from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/10/31/correct-sleeping-posture.aspx

Typically, my conversations with experts about the COVID pandemic revolve around the infection and its treatment. Today’s interview with finance guru Catherine Austin Fitts will tackle the COVID topic from a different angle. Austin Fitts has spent decades exposing corruption and fraud, both within the banking industry and government, and corruption and fraud are driving forces in the COVID pandemic as well.
According to Austin Fitts, your health and personal finances simply cannot be separated. The two are really like two sides of the same coin, and families who don’t learn to navigate through the lies of the medical and finance industries can end up in very bad shape, both health-wise and financially. The Injection FraudOne of the most egregious crimes of this pandemic is the mandating of these experimental COVID jabs while simultaneously giving the drug companies full immunity. They’re not liable for anything, no matter how many people are injured or die. A person can be forced into taking this injection and suffer permanent disability requiring millions of dollars of care, and the patient is responsible for all these costs, even though they were coerced into it.
Is There Conspiracy Blackmail Going On?While I believe many employers and school administrators are simply ignorant and have fallen victim to the most successful propaganda campaign in modern history, Austin Fitts suspects they know exactly what they’re doing.
Only One Choice Remains: Slavery or FreedomTo prevent the final implementation of this planned control system, we must be ready and willing to sacrifice in the short term. Everyone must be willing to say, "No, I will not comply, no matter what the consequence, whether if you take away my pension, if you fire me, if you discredit me and I can never work again in my profession." That’s what it's going to take to keep even our most basic freedoms. As noted by Austin Fitts:
According to federal statistics in the U.S., the wealth of the bottom half of the population has increased during the pandemic due to housing inflation. “I assure you, that is a ruse,” Austin Fitts says. With respect to liquid assets, somewhere in the neighborhood of 70% to 80% of Americans have virtually no reserve stores of cash at all.
Why We Must Reject Vaccine PassportsI suspect CBDCs are the crux of this plot, and I'm a firm believer that decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are a powerful alternative and important to counter the central bank control of the financial system. Austin Fitts disagrees, pointing out that all cryptocurrencies operate on systems controlled by the existing system of governance.
While government does not control private keys and decentralized elements, they still have plenty of ways to get to the private data of targeted individuals. “I've watched lots of people get subpoenas and have the FBI arrive at their door, and it's amazing what they will hand over and go along with,” Austin Fitts says. In short, government’s ability to deliver on a threat when they want something from you is profound, which makes it near-impossible to resist.
Vaccine Passport Is a Ticket to Financial EnslavementAs explained by Austin Fitts, the vaccine passports create a platform for a digital transaction system that documents and tracks all transactions. Once combined with a central bank controlled digital currency, they will have the ability to block transactions. If government doesn’t want you to purchase anything more than five miles from your home, they have the ability to prevent you from doing so. If they don't want you buying pizzas, they have the ability to prevent you from buying pizza.
What Can You Do Now?So, how can the average person resist this diabolical plan? One strategy would be to move to a state or country that has made vaccine passport requirements illegal. Another strategy is to simply refuse the passport, no matter what the ramifications. This goes for those who have gotten one or two COVID jabs as well. To maintain a valid passport, you’ll have to take boosters. How many are you willing to take? How many times are you willing to risk your health and life? At some point, you’ll have to make the same decision as everyone who is unvaccinated — freedom or slavery. What this means is we’ll also need to create alternate and parallel systems for everything we’ll be denied access to if we don’t have a valid vaccine passport. This includes education, food production, services of various kinds, health care and economy. These parallel systems will be crucial anyway, as the U.S. entitlement programs — Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — look like they’ll be out of money by 2028. And, as these programs vanish, they’ll take the drug industry down with them, as they are drug companies’ primary revenue source.
There Is No Legal Vaccine Mandate in the USRecently, President Biden issued an unconstitutional presidential directive that companies with 100 employees or more are required to mandate the COVID injection for all staff members. The penalty can go as high as $700,000 per incident. Such stiff fines could quickly bankrupt all but the wealthiest companies if they don’t comply. However, even here, there is choice, because as it stands, there is no LEGAL rule or law dictating vaccination rules for private companies.
Who’s Behind It All?As for who's behind this gigantic scheme, it’s hard to say. I believe the closest we can get the identity of these criminals is the private shareholders of Vanguard, because Vanguard owns most of the companies of the world. Austin Fitts believes it’s the private owners of the central banks of the world. She explains:
Austin Fitts’ nickname for the committee that runs the world is “Mr. Global.” She admits she doesn’t fully understand how it works at the top, but she does know that the decision-making is highly centralized, it’s most likely run by committee, and the members are the prisoners of 50 years of secrecy.
We Need a Reset, but Not ‘The Great Reset’Many have pointed out that it’s a mathematical inevitability that the central bank financial system will collapse. You cannot rack up debt in perpetuity. It’s really just a matter of when. As noted by Austin Fitts, we currently have a negative return on investment. But the financial system can certainly be re-engineered to a positive return on investment. However, to do that, we cannot allow corporations to function above the law. She explains:
Signs of Positive ChangeThere are signs of real change, however — positive change. Austin Fitts notes that, for the first time in her life, she’s seeing extraordinarily talented, well-educated people who have always been reluctant to rock the boat say they want out; they’d rather die than be enslaved by organized crime.

from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/10/31/catherine-austin-fitts-slavery-or-freedom.aspx In this interview, filmmaker-turned-author Mikki Willis discusses his two-part film “Plandemic,” which went viral despite being universally censored last year. He’s now releasing a book, “Plandemic: Fear Is the Virus. Truth Is the Cure,” and is working on “Plandemic Part 3,” which is slated for release around the winter holidays. Willis summarizes the backstory of how “Plandemic” came to be:
More Than a Billion People Have Seen ‘Plandemic’“Plandemic Part 1” was released May 4, 2020, and has since been viewed over 1 billion times, a record, for sure, for any documentary. This, despite it being heavily censored. “Plandemic Part 2: Indoctornation” has also been viewed more than 200 million times. One of the keys to the videos’ remarkable successes was Willis’ decision to allow (and encourage) people to download the movie files and upload them anywhere they pleased, without restrictions. This virtually guaranteed he wouldn’t make any money from the films, but he viewed them as a gift to humanity. Putting the truth out there was more important than making a buck. Besides, hosting the films on any given platform would allow the opposition to simply nuke that one site, ensuring the films wouldn’t be seen by anyone. ‘Plandemic 3’ Will Expose Power Players and Their Intentions“Plandemic: Indoctornation” features the brilliant David Martin, Ph.D., who has documented and tracked white collar crime for decades and invented technologies that help trace the flow of funding. Willis explains:
After the release of “Plandemic 1,” Willis offered $10,000 to anyone who could debunk any claim made in the film.
It’s Not Incompetence, It’s a PlanWhile many blame the encroaching tyranny on incompetence, the evidence suggests it’s not incompetence at all. It was planned this way. Willis says:
Willis does believe, however, that a great awakening is underway, and that at least half the population, or maybe more, are starting to wake up to the fact that we’re being manipulated by forces that do not have our best interest at heart. As for how this drama will play out, Willis points to the history of human mythology. We’re in a Mythological BattleIn virtually all myths, there’s a reluctant hero who, faced with a life or death challenge, goes in search of a savior, only to in the end realize that he is the one; that the force to overcome the challenge is within himself, and that he must rise up and face the challenge himself.
How Do We Rebuild?“Plandemic 3” will also cover ideas for how to rebuild society. This is something Martin and Willis have started collaborating on.
An important part of any new and improved system would be decentralization of power and control. One way to do this could be to form councils where people are represented by an actual peer. The Last Stand for FreedomWillis, like many others, is convinced America is the last stand for freedom. He even moved to Texas recently in order to become “a functioning part of the incredible people who have been raised with the constitutional understandings that I knew nothing about, being a California boy.” Interestingly, Willis was a supporter of the progressive left up until just a few years ago, when he started noticing the creeping in of communist ideologies that he knew can never work.
On God and FaithWillis also admits being raised without religion, and that he lived most of his life with a lot of judgment about people who are religious. That all changed over the past year and a half, when he suddenly started appreciating the importance of having faith in something greater than ourselves.
More InformationThe book “Plandemic: Fear Is the Virus, Truth Is the Cure,” is being released on Amazon October 19, 2021. Pick up your copy here. Interestingly, Willis had hired an investigative journalist to conduct interviews for the book. Three months into the project he found out she initially had not been on his side at all.
from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/10/31/mikki-willis-plandemic-book.aspx This article was previously published January 16, 2021, and has been updated with new information. The idea behind smart technology is that your cellphone or appliance does the thinking for you. Researchers at Stanford Medicine have taken this to a whole new level and hope to develop a toilet that evaluates your excrement each time you use the toilet.1 A smart device can do many of the things your computer does, such as connect to the internet, use software and adapt to fit a current set of circumstances. These technologies often include sensors, databases and wireless access to the internet. Smart technology was a boon to improving home security systems that could be monitored through your computer and connected to local authorities. Originally, technology was aimed at making the lives of senior citizens a little easier. This was called gerontechnology and began in the early 1990s.2 By the early 2000s, smart home automation became more popular and more affordable. Currently, anyone can wire their home with smart technology using gadgets they purchase at computer stores and readily available software installed on their computer and smartphone.3 Sensors measure temperature, humidity, light and motion or noise. The control network connects devices and the computer system collects information and acts based on a set of predefined rules. These functions are essentially the basis for the new smart toilet. Precision Health Smart Toilet Evaluates Your WasteStanford University announced their "precision health" toilet they claim can "sense multiple signs of illness through automated urine and stool analysis."4,5 This particular smart toilet doesn't automatically lift the lid or flush the toilet, but instead has been designed to detect disease markers in your urine and stool. The product can be fitted to an ordinary toilet using tools that include motion sensors and a camera that captures a person's analprint as you sit to use the toilet.6 The idea to use an analprint for identification was sparked by painter Salvador Dali, who reportedly discovered "the anus has 35 or 37 creases, which are as unique as fingerprints."7 In an operational smart toilet, sensors and other cameras will capture waste material, detect the force and amount of urine streams and analyze what's inside your stool. With the analprint, each smart toilet will also include a fingerprint scanner located on the lever to help ensure the data is linked to the right individual. The scientists included features to measure urine factors, such as protein levels and white blood cell count. A person's stool is evaluated using the Bristol Stool Scale and records the total amount of time it takes a person to fully eliminate. The scientists' goal is to gather enough data to spot severe health problems that would be evident in your excrement, such as colon cancer. Once you flush the toilet, the data and images are wirelessly sent to an encrypted cloud server where it is supposed to remain private. One of the researchers, the late Sam Gambhir, who was chair of the radiology department at Stanford at the time the study began, elaborated on the intention of the smart toilet, which is not to replace a doctor's office visit, but to monitor your waste, identify the unusual and automatically send information about anything suspicious to your physician. Gambhir dedicated his life to finding early methods of disease detection; he passed away from cancer in July 2020.8 In an April 2020 Stanford press release, he was excited about the potential for gathering data through the smart toilet, saying, "The smart toilet is the perfect way to harness a source of data that's typically ignored — and the user doesn't have to do anything differently."9 Gambhir compared the smart toilet against other health monitoring systems:10
$6.9 Million Grant to Develop Excrement TechnologySen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is not as impressed by the technology and doesn't believe the $6.9 million in funds granted by the National Cancer Institute is a good use of taxpayers' money.11 Each year he compiles a report on federal government waste, and in 2020 the funds for the smart toilet were included.12
Meanwhile, Ghambir's team hopes to have the second prototype ready for testing by the end of 2021. On their wish list is the ability for the newest smart toilet to detect DNA and RNA in order to help track the spread of coronavirus disease and to detect tumors. Tracking Virus DNA in WastewaterUsing wastewater tests for information about an individual or community is not new. For example, researchers at wastewater treatment plants have been testing facilities’ feces and urine effluent for illegal drugs, which has helped law enforcement to track trends and to identify new drugs in communities.13 The process was first proposed in 2001 by the Environmental Protection Agency to raise awareness of the impact that excreted drugs have on the environment. In early 2020, data from the largest European project evaluating wastewater corroborated data from other teams indicating the cocaine market in Eastern Europe was expanding.14 In human testing since the COVID-19 pandemic began, scientists have also identified the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for COVID-19 in the stool of people who have died from the disease.15 In one study, scientists found the viral load in feces was higher than in the respiratory secretions of an infected patient. They found live viruses in the feces of two other patients, which the researchers felt indicated "infectious virus in feces is a common manifestation of COVID-19," and may represent a possible disease vector. They also noted a 2004 study following the SARS-CoV-1 outbreak, which found aerosolized feces from a faulty sewage line was a likely contaminant responsible for an outbreak in the Amoy Gardens housing complex that made 321 people sick, 187 of whom fit the spread pattern.16 In another study, researchers found RNA on eight of 22 surfaces tested in two hotel rooms after two guests later became sick with COVID-19.17 Sampling revealed the pillowcases and sheets had the highest viral load. However, despite testing the room a mere three hours after the people tested positive for the virus, no live viruses were found in the hotel rooms.18 Scientists noted that:19
Scientists believe that wastewater surveillance may have several benefits, including:20
The Smart Toilet Will Be Smarter Than You ThinkUsing smart technology to evaluate your waste products raises many questions, not the least of which include access to your private medical information. In the first place, people using this smart device in their home must have their fingerprints on file with the company, since the device uses both your fingerprint and analprint to link the information with a specific individual. Although the initial idea is to install these toilets in the home, it bears considering they may eventually be installed in public areas allowing others to track your movements each time you use the toilet and are identified through your analprint or fingerprint. In addition, your health information will be stored in the cloud, increasing the risk it can be accessed by hackers, contributing to medical identity theft. As discussed above, the company hopes to include technology to test for DNA and RNA in your stool and has the capability to test for drug and alcohol use, which begs the question how this information may be used. Although the company promises your information will remain private (as discussed below) and is only shared with your personal physician, it's highly likely that health insurance and life insurance companies would find this information enticing as they determine whether to offer coverage and how much to charge. Law enforcement may also be interested in the test results. These are only some of the potential challenges that may arise when you allow your health information to be uploaded to the cloud and accessed to determine whether information should be sent to your physician. Are Pictures of Your Nether Region Medical Images?This particular device also poses an obvious risk to your privacy. To this point, researchers have engaged only male participants since the fixed camera would film female genitalia.21 Researchers are hoping the second prototype will provide more accurate data and feature technology to reduce the risk of the "nontraditional and unusual" photos falling into the wrong hands:22
It's difficult to imagine how they will be able to "unconditionally ensure the security of all photos and private information" when highly secured banks,23 retailers24 and even the federal government25 have been hacked and information stolen. How to Use the Information in Your ToiletThe size, shape and color of your stool give valuable clues as to the state of your health. It's so important, in fact, that in 1997 Stephen Lewis and Ken Heaton with the U.K.'s Bristol Royal Infirmary teaching hospital developed what's now known as the Bristol stool chart.26 The color and smell of your urine are also important indicators of your health and wellness. Your kidneys filter excess water and water-soluble waste products from your blood, getting rid of toxins and waste products that would otherwise make you ill. Each day your kidneys filter about 50 gallons of water, which equals about 18,250 gallons each year.27 Amazingly, one kidney can easily handle the task.28 Your urine color will change depending on your level of hydration, medication, food and supplements. from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/10/30/smart-toilets-will-use-anal-fingerprints.aspx Dr. Peter McCullough, an internist, cardiologist and trained epidemiologist, not only sees patients every week but is the editor of two medical journals and has published hundreds of peer-reviewed papers. Prior to the pandemic, he was involved in the interface between heart disease and kidney disease — but that all changed. McCullough is now a “hunted doctor” who’s been threatened with disciplinary actions, including suspension or revocation of his medical license, by the American Board of Internal Medicine for the “dissemination of misinformation.”1 He stepped forward during the COVID-19 pandemic because he saw something very wrong was going on early in 2020, and he felt compelled to do something about it. In the video above, you can view McCullough’s October 2, 2021, presentation at the 78th Annual Meeting of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.2 I urge you to set aside one hour to view it in its entirety, as it’s packed with data that call into question the true motivations behind the mass injection campaign, which he believes should have been shut down in January. Red Flags Showed Jabs Were Unsafe From the StartAccording to McCullough, by January 22, 2021, there had been 186 deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database following COVID-19 injection — more than enough to reach the mortality signal of concern to stop the program. “I know data, and I know safety. The FDA knows I know safety. In fact, I’ve chaired data safety monitoring boards for the National Institutes of Health and Big Pharma,” he said.3 It’s standard to have an external critical event committee, an external data safety monitoring board and a human ethics committee for large clinical trials — such as the mass COVID-19 injection program, but these were not put into place. “With a program this size, anything over 150 deaths would be an alarm signal,” he said. The U.S. “hit 186 deaths with only 27 million Americans jabbed.” McCullough believes if the proper safety boards had been in place, the COVID-19 jab program would have been shut down in February 2021 based on safety and risk of death.4 Such was the case in 1976, when a fast-tracked injection program against swine flu was halted after an estimated 25 to 32 deaths.5 “We are far beyond that now,” McCullough said.6 While many have been silenced, McCullough found a way to share his concerns via regular contributions to The Hill and, back in August 2020, he warned that putting off early treatment in favor of waiting for an experimental injection was taking a gamble with people’s lives:7
The Jab’s Spike Protein Is a Deadly ProteinThe whole world seems to be in lockstep with one narrative — that an injection is the only way out of the pandemic. What’s been kept quiet is the significant health risks that come with the experimental jabs. “Spike protein is a deadly protein,” McCullough said.8 It should be noted that McCullough is not antivaccine — he’s recently had a flu shot. However, the COVID-19 jabs are different:9
In August 2021, a large study from Israel10 revealed that the Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA jab is associated with a threefold increased risk of myocarditis,11 leading to the condition at a rate of one to five events per 100,000 persons.12 Other elevated risks were also identified following the COVID-19 jab, including lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes), appendicitis and herpes zoster infection.13 Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia is another serious complication of COVID-19 injections,14 and fertility concerns have also been raised. Pfizer’s biodistribution study, which was used to determine where the injected substances go in the body, even showed the COVID spike protein from the shots accumulated in “quite high concentrations” in the ovaries.15 In May 2021, McCullough was one of 57 authors to sign a paper demanding answers to urgent questions on the jabs’ safety and calling for the mass injection program to be halted immediately if safety cannot be adequately proven and monitored.16 At the very least, McCullough noted, pregnant women, women of childbearing age and COVID-19 survivors shouldn’t have been vaccinated, as these groups were excluded from the jabs’ clinical trials because “they knew they weren’t going to work or would cause excessive harm” in these populations.17 Even with all of these blatant risks, health officials haven’t given any updates or regular briefings on the jabs, such as which one of the three — Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson — works “best” or is preferred. A “vaccine ‘report card’ on safety is long overdue,”18 according to McCullough, who believes, “The disability that we are going to see due to these vaccines will go down in history as an unbelievable atrocity.”19 Injection Deadlier, Statistically, Than COVID-19People are dying from COVID-19 jabs. In an analysis of COVID-19 vaccine death reports from VAERS, researchers found that 86% of the time, nothing else could have caused the death, and it appears the vaccine was the cause.20 Despite this, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continues to say that no causal link has been found between COVID-19 and the deaths.21 That’s malfeasance, McCullough says. Even more shocking is a Toxicology Reports study that found the injections are deadlier, statistically, than COVID-19.22 “Because not everybody gets the respiratory infection, and because the respiratory infection is treatable and manageable, in fact one is more likely to die after the vaccine than just take their choice with forgoing the vaccine and potentially getting COVID-19. Statistically, in every age group, that’s the case,” he stated.23 You can see the data for yourself in the study’s graphical abstract, below. The researchers explained:24
Vaccine Failures Can’t Be DeniedAlong with the health risks are the undeniable cases of “breakthrough infections,” otherwise known as vaccine failures. As of October 12, 2021, the CDC stated that 31,985 people who were fully injected against COVID-19 were hospitalized or died from COVID-19.25 Yet, media reports keep referring to the pandemic as a crisis of the unvaccinated, which is simply inaccurate since COVID-19 continues to affect and spread among those who have been vaccinated. The CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) posted online July 30, 2021, details an outbreak of COVID-19 that occurred in Barnstable County, Massachusetts — 74% of the cases occurred in fully vaccinated people.26 With breakthrough cases on the rise, on May 1, 2021, the CDC stopped monitoring most COVID-19 infections among vaccinated people.27 “The CDC started to do asymmetric reporting to start to craft a narrative that this was going to be a failure of the unvaccinated, a crisis of the unvaccinated,” McCullough said. “But the CDC data continued to come in showing us just the opposite.”28 Pivot to Early Treatment Is NecessaryThe data are clear that a pivot away from mass injections to early treatment for COVID-19 could save lives, and McCullough and colleagues recommend that you demand early treatment if you have COVID-19, whether or not you’ve been vaccinated.29 McCullough’s early treatment regimen initially includes a nutraceutical bundle of zinc, vitamin D, vitamin C and quercetin. While you’re recovering at home, open your windows and get plenty of fresh air and ventilation in your home. If symptoms persist or worsen, he recommends calling your doctor and demanding monoclonal antibody therapy. The treatment progresses to include anti-infectives like HCQ or ivermectin, antibiotics, steroids and blood thinners. If your doctor refuses to treat COVID-19 in the early stages, find a new one and/or visit a telemedicine clinic that will help, as “the prehospital phase is the time of therapeutic opportunity.” You can also download McCullough’s and colleagues’ Guide to Home-Based COVID Treatment.30 He states:31
Outrage Over Forced Injection GrowsWith the injections causing harm and failing to protect as promised, frustrations are mounting worldwide due to increasing injection mandates. McCullough noted:32
McCullough is among a growing number of experts who believe COVID-19 injections are making the pandemic worse instead of better, while effective solutions are being ignored and intentionally suppressed. “Early ambulatory therapy with a sequenced, multi-drug regimen is supported by available sources of evidence and has a positive benefit-to-risk profile,” he explains, while “COVID-19 genetic vaccines have an unfavorable safety profile and are not sufficiently effective, thus they cannot be supported in clinical practice at this time.”33 Unfortunately, “censorship and reprisal are working to crush freedom of speech, scientific discourse and medical progress”34 McCullough calls on everyone to stand up against the propaganda, but especially doctors, who he believes can save lives by offering early COVID-19 treatment to their patients. from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/10/30/war-against-therapeutic-nihilism.aspx On September 30, 2021, David Schweikert (R-Ariz.) introduced a bill (HR5457) that, if enacted, would qualify AI as a medical practitioner, eligible to prescribe drugs. Whoa there. That puts the conversation about the professional sovereignty of physicians in a whole different context — and sadly, that reformist context has been there all along. Let's first look at the text of the bill. It says the following:
The part where it says "for other purposes" is interesting. What if AI determines that something is safe and effective — and it should be mandated? It's hard to debate with AI. The safe and effective thing could be a therapy, a nutritional system to fight climate change, a mental hygiene regime — anything, really. Drug prescription is just a foot in the door but the sky is the limit. And who do we sue? And who is David Schweikert? Currently, he is serving his sixth term in the United States Congress. At the moment, he "sits on the Ways and Means Committee, having previously served on the Financial Services Committee. He also sits on the bicameral Joint Economic Committee, serving as the Senior House Republican Member, Co-Chairs the Valley Fever Task force with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, is the Republican Co-Chair of the Blockchain Caucus, Co-Chair of the Tunisia Caucus, and Co-Chair of the Tele Health Caucus." According to his website, he "championed key reforms such as the Secret Science Reform Act, which has passed the House of Representatives." That particular reform was interesting as it used the "good" language of scientific transparency to limit the powers of the already not very useful EPA. Interestingly, his website also calls him a "national leader on tribal policy," working with Arizona's tribal communities on important priorities. Lots to ponder. So let's talk about why this bill is significant — regardless of whether it passes or not. The bill serves the obvious practical purpose and a psychological purpose. If it passes and stays, then we can kiss our medical sovereignty goodbye for some time — since arguing with a robot is much harder than arguing with the most menacing and unmovable Soviet cashier of my childhood (a personal memory; I was terrified of cashiers)! But whether it passes of not, it's a sign of where the wind is blowing and an act of widening of what's psychologically acceptable. In other words, an act of eating at our sanity. And of course, the desire to possibly replace the current medical system with AI and telemedicine predates COVID. Let's go back in time. The year was 2019. The name of the committee was National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI). The committee, chaired by Eric Schmidt of Google, issued a report called, "Chinese Tech Landscape Overview." In that report, obtained by EPIC through a FOIA request, the committee talked about the AI race between the U.S. and China, and what kind of "legacy systems" in the U.S. were in the way of winning. (If you want to see their most recent report — which is very long and, unlike the 2019 FOIA-obtained report, was meant for public display and thus was worded far more diplomatically — you can find it here.) Now, an important note. I personally believe that the competition between different countries is not what drives this trend — and that Eric Schmidt, out of all people alive today, is using "international competition" as an excuse to attempt installing his favorite AI on top of the people (but underneath his friends, of course). Which is not to say that international competition does not exist — of course it does — but the attempted reform that goes under the names of the Great Reset, 4IR, or Happytalism, is supranational, in my opinion. However, using a bogeyman (be it "China," "America," "Russia," or "COVID") is a proven strategy.
Going back to the 2019 NSCAI report, the committee, first written about in detail by Whitney Webb on Last American Vagabond, "was created by the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and its official purpose is 'to consider the methods and means necessary to advance the development of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and associated technologies to comprehensively address the national security and defense needs of the United States.'" To further quote Whitney, who did an outstanding job two years ago covering this development, the report "says that 'creation,' followed by 'adoption' and 'iteration' are the three phases of the 'life cycle of new tech' and asserts that failing to dominate in the 'adoption' stage will allow China to 'leapfrog' the U.S. and dominate AI for the foreseeable future." The report mentions that while the United States is leading in the "creation" phase of AI development, China is leading in the "adoption" phase due to specific "structural factors," framed in the report as very advantages to winning the AI race. To be clear, the report does not directly say anything like, "it would be great if we were a little more like China in terms of those structural factors." It does not say that directly. But it seems to imply it as it describes winning the AI race as absolutely desirable and then lists the American "legacy" systems as obstacles on the way. What does the report says about medicine? It seems to frown at the medicine of today and to favor AI and telemedicine. Please see below: Conclusion? My subjective conclusion is that perhaps putting AI in charge of medicine has always been the goal? Perhaps the illogical and abysmal state of "human" medicine in 2021 is not coincidental? So far, we've seen scientific and medical censorship, unhelpful official protocols, forced closures of hospitals, artificially created staffing shortages — and perhaps at least in part we are seeing it because it helps the advancement of 4IR? Perhaps? It looks like the things that we consider generally good for people, such as having in-person access to a caring doctor — or the "regulatory barriers" protecting our privacy — all those natural things are viewed as undesirable by our aspiring masters. Their proverbial New Normal is not for people. It's for the people's "owners." (By the way, AI is not human or conscious, no matter how hard they spin it. AI is software. Somebody owns the software, including medical software. Somebody pays for it, somebody writes it, somebody patents it, somebody owns it. This whole "AI going conscious" thing is a well-funded con job in my opinion — just like the sale of "immortality" via converting to a data bundle.) When it comes to medicine, in the New Normal, sovereign physicians (and sovereign patients) are a liability and an inconvenience. The New Normal does not fancy human subjectivity — not philosophically and not economically. The New Normal is about effective asset management, where regular citizens are a class of assets, just like machines or minerals. Assets are supposed to be useful and are not supposed to think. The entire foundation of the New Normal social system is the denial of free will. The New Normal does not account for privacy or personal space. It's a new digital order — with citizens united in homogeneity, under AI. It's not about balance or sustainable frolicking in the grass while the robot toils — it's about converting our creative energy into the fuel for the machine. It's essentially anti-life. Another tangential but very curious window into how the crazies think is this 2001 report titled, "Future Strategic Issues/Future Warfare [Circa 2025]". It has every dystopian trick on the book, even "co-opted insects." And I suppose it's possible to weaponize insects, viruses, or art. It's all been tried. But no matter what the broken ones think or do, their abuse is temporary. Dysfunction produces pain. Pain produces questions. Questions produces resistance. Resistance produces change. And then it breaks. This time around, too, life will prevail — and that's regardless of what the technocrats desire. A note: Philosophy and emotions are important at the time of the Great Reset because they remind us of who we are and help us to fight for life. The maniacs can think up a world in which we are soulless assets. They can pass bills in which we report to AI. But if we refuse to shut down our hearts, in the end we win. I'd like to finish this story with an open question from the beautiful film called "A Hidden Life." In this film, the protagonist asks a priest, "If our leaders, if they are evil, what does one do?" What does one do? I am thinking, maybe we have a duty to our hearts and the generations past. And maybe this time around, we get to live. from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/10/30/a-bill-to-allow-prescriptions-by-ai.aspx Until recently, it appeared economic competition had been driving the rise and fall of small and large companies across the U.S. Supposedly, PepsiCo is Coca Cola’s competitor, Apple and Android vie for your loyalty and drug companies battle for your health care dollars. However, all of that turns out to be an illusion. Since the mid-1970s, two corporations — Vanguard and Blackrock — have gobbled up most companies in the world, effectively destroying the competitive market on which America’s strength has rested, leaving only false appearances behind. Indeed, the global economy may be the greatest illusionary trick ever pulled over the eyes of people around the world. To understand what’s really going on, watch Tim Gielen’s hour-long documentary, “MONOPOLY: Who Owns the World?” above. Corporate DominationAs noted by Gielen, who narrates the film, a handful of mega corporations — private investment companies — dominate every aspect of our lives; everything we eat, drink, wear or use in one way or another. These investment firms are so enormous, they control the money flow worldwide. So, how does this scheme work? While there appear to be hundreds of competing brands on the market, like Russian nesting dolls, larger parent companies own multiple smaller brands. In reality, all packaged food brands, for example, are owned by a dozen or so larger parent companies. Pepsi Co. owns a long list of food, beverage and snack brands, as does Coca-Cola, Nestle, General Mills, Kellogg’s, Unilever, Mars, Kraft Heinz, Mondelez, Danone and Associated British Foods. Together, these parent companies monopolize the packaged food industry, as virtually every food brand available belongs to one of them. These companies are publicly traded and are run by boards, where the largest shareholders have power over the decision making. This is where it gets interesting, because when you look up who the largest shareholders are, you find yet another monopoly. While the topmost shareholders can change from time to time, based on shares bought and sold, two companies are consistently listed among the top institutional holders of these parent companies: The Vanguard Group Inc. and Blackrock Inc. Pepsi and Coca-Cola — An ExampleFor example, while there are more than 3,000 shareholders in Pepsi Co., Vanguard and Blackrock’s holdings account for nearly one-third of all shares. Of the top 10 shareholders in Pepsi Co., the top three, Vanguard, Blackrock and State Street Corporation, own more shares than the remaining seven. Now, let’s look at Coca-Cola Co., Pepsi’s top competitor. Who owns Coke? As with Pepsi, the majority of the company shares are held by institutional investors, which number 3,155 (as of the making of the documentary). As shown in the film, three of the top four institutional shareholders of Coca-Cola are identical with that of Pepsi: Vanguard, Blackrock and State Street Corporation. The No. 1 shareholder of Coca-Cola is Berkshire Hathaway Inc. These four — Vanguard, Blackrock, State Street and Berkshire Hathaway — are the four largest investment firms on the planet. “So, Pepsi and Coca-Cola are anything but competitors,” Gielen says. And the same goes for the other packaged food companies. All are owned by the same small group of institutional shareholders. Big Tech MonopolyThe monopoly of these investment firms isn’t relegated to the packaged food industry. You find them dominating virtually all other industries as well. Take Big Tech, for example. Among the top 10 largest tech companies we find Apple, Samsung, Alphabet (parent company of Google), Microsoft, Huawei, Dell, IBM and Sony. Here, we find the same Russian nesting doll setup. For example, Facebook owns Whatsapp and Instagram. Alphabet owns Google and all Google-related businesses, including YouTube and Gmail. It’s also the biggest developer of Android, the main competitor to Apple. Microsoft owns Windows and Xbox. In all, four parent companies produce the software used by virtually all computers, tablets and smartphones in the world. Who, then, owns them? Here’s a sampling:
You can continue going through the list of tech brands — companies that build computers, smart phones, electronics and household appliances — and you’ll repeatedly find Vanguard, Blackrock, Berkshire Hathaway and State Street Corporation among the top shareholders. Same Small Group Owns Everything Else TooThe same ownership trend exists in all other industries. Gielen offers yet another example to prove this statement is not an exaggeration:
The same goes for the agricultural industry that the global food industry depends on, and any other major industry. These institutional investors own Bayer, the world’s largest seed producer; they own the largest textile manufacturers and many of the largest clothing companies. They own the oil refineries, the largest solar panel producers and the automobile, aircraft and arms industries. They own all the major tobacco companies, and all the major drug companies and scientific institutes too. They also own the big department stores and the online marketplaces like eBay, Amazon and AliExpress. They even own the payment methods we use, from credit card companies to digital payment platforms, as well as insurance companies, banks, construction companies, telephone companies, restaurant chains, personal care brands and cosmetic brands. No matter what industry you look at, the top shareholders, and therefore decision makers, are the same: Vanguard, Blackrock, State Street and/or Berkshire Hathaway. In virtually every major company, you find these names among the top 10 institutional investors. Who Owns the Investment Firms of the World?Diving deeper, we find that these major investment firms are in turn owned by their own set of shareholders. One of the most amazing things about this scheme is that the institutional investors — and there are many more than the primary four we’ve focused on here — also own each other. They’re all shareholders in each other’s companies. “Together, they form an immense network that we can compare to a pyramid,” Gielen says. Smaller institutional investors, such as Citibank, ING and T. Rowe Price, are owned by larger investment firms such as Northern Trust, Capital Group, 3G Capital and KKR. Those investors in turn are owned by even larger investment firms, like Goldman Sachs and Wellington Market, which are owned by larger firms yet, such as Berkshire Hathaway and State Street. At the top of the pyramid — the largest Russian doll of all — we find Vanguard and Blackrock.
Gielen cites data from Bloomberg, showing that by 2028, Vanguard and BlackRock are expected to collectively manage $20 trillion-worth of investments. In the process, they will own almost everything on planet Earth. BlackRock — The Fourth Branch of GovernmentBloomberg has also referred to BlackRock as the “fourth branch of government,” due to its close relationship with the central banks. BlackRock actually lends money to the central bank, the federal reserve, and is their principal adviser. Dozens of BlackRock employees have held senior positions in the White House under the Bush, Obama and Biden administrations. BlackRock also developed the computer system that the central banks use. Who Owns BlackRock?While Larry Fink is the figurehead of BlackRock, being its founder, chairman and chief executive officer, he’s not the sole decision maker, as BlackRock too is owned by shareholders. Here we find yet another curiosity, as the largest shareholder of BlackRock is Vanguard. “This is where it gets dark,” Gielen says. Vanguard has a unique structure that blocks us from seeing who the actual shareholders are. “The elite who own Vanguard don’t want anyone to know they are the owners of the most powerful company on earth.” Still, if you dig deep enough, you can find clues as to who these owners are. The owners of the wealthiest, most powerful company on Earth can be expected to be among the wealthiest individuals on earth. In 2016, Oxfam reported that the combined wealth of the richest 1% in the world was equal to the wealth of the remaining 99%. In 2018, it was reported that the world’s richest people get 82% of all the money earned around the world in 2017. In reality, we can assume that the owners of Vanguard are among the 0.001% richest people on the planet. According to Forbes, there were 2,075 billionaires in the world as of March 2020. Gielen cites Oxfam data showing that two-thirds of billionaires obtained their fortunes via inheritance, monopoly and/or cronyism. “This means that Vanguard is in the hands of the richest families on earth,” Gielen says. Among them we find the Rothschilds, the DuPont family, the Rockefellers, the Bush family and the Morgan family, just to name a few. Many belong to royal bloodlines and are the founders of our central banking system, the United Nations and just about every industry on the planet. Gielen goes even further in his documentary, so I highly recommend watching it in its entirety. I’ve only summarized a small piece of the whole film here. A Financial Coup D’etatSpeaking of the central bankers, I recently interviewed finance guru Catherine Austin Fitts, and she believes it’s the central bankers that are at the heart of the global takeover we’re currently seeing. She also believes they are the ones pressuring private companies to implement the clearly illegal COVID jab mandates. Their control is so great, few companies have the ability to take a stand against them.
The Spartacus LetterAgain, I urge you to watch the documentary at the top of this article, and keep an eye out for my interview with Austin Fitts, which will be published in the near future. In closing, I want to highlight a mysterious letter posted by an anonymous individual who goes by the name “Spartacus.” “COVID-19 — The Spartacus Letter” was originally posted on docdroid.net, but has since been deleted. Another copy can be found on mega.nz.1 The Automatic Earth2 and ZeroHedge3 have also published the letter in full. The letter starts out saying, “My name is Spartacus, and I’ve had enough”:
What follows is a compilation of data showing the COVID pandemic was a biowarfare attack that has been kept going using sophisticated psychological warfare tactics. It also reviews the dangers of the COVID shots, noting that the virus and the “vaccines” were made by the same entities. A summary of Spartacus’ findings is as follows. Each summary point is elaborated upon in later sections of the letter, which you can read in any of the three references provided.
A Criminal ConspiracyIt’s a long letter, so I won’t reproduce the whole thing here. However, the following sections are of particular interest, with regard to a criminal elite that is orchestrating the destruction of life as we know it, in an effort to usher in a technocracy-led system of global governance and control:4
from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/10/29/blackrock-vanguard-own-the-world.aspx Mark Moss, an entrepreneur and financial expert who's been a full-time investor for over 25 years, is passionate about freedom, liberty and personal wealth. Finances aren't something I typically focus on, but we're both in agreement that health is your greatest form of wealth. I'll be speaking at Moss' live event in Miami, Florida, in November 2021, where he and other experts will be sharing how to control your financial future during The Great Reset,1 but in the video above you can hear our recent conversation, which covers everything from key tenets of physical health to how to discern the truth in this era of censorship. This is only one of three public events I will be speaking at this year. If you want to come and hear me at this event, I arranged with Mark to give you a special discount. Normally these links provide affiliate commissions to me but I asked Mark to give them to you instead to make it more affordable for you to attend. So, if you want a heavily discounted ticket to see me you can click on the link below. >>>>> Click Here <<<<< Building Your Health Is WealthMoss wants to empower people to build wealth, not so they can become greedy or stockpile money, but because money allows you to help other people and have options in your own life. Now, with injection mandates increasing, people are being forced to make a decision to quit their job or put their health at risk from a jab. "Unfortunately," Moss said, "we've found lots of people who, when the pandemic broke out, didn't even have $400 saved. When you don't have that money, when you don't have those savings, you're stuck at a dead-end job. If you had money saved, you could quit the job, go look for something else." Also, with civil liberties being impacted daily, building wealth gives you the option to change your location to a country or state that may protect your freedom rather than restrict it. He continued:2
In order to live your life fully, you really need to have all three: health, freedom and secure finances, which is what the November event is all about. No. 1 Way to Protect Your HealthYour health is priceless, and many of the most powerful health strategies cost nothing at all or can be implemented very inexpensively. Yet, not only are these natural strategies not taught in conventional medical schools but, if you go against the standard, pharmaceutical-based treatment options you can be challenged, reprimanded or have your license taken away. This process ostracizing natural therapies began back in 1910 with the release of the Flexner Report, which was written in commission for the Carnegie Foundation.3 The Flexner Report essentially eliminated almost every form of natural medicine, because it was a competitor to the emerging class of pharmaceuticals, primarily derived from oil and petroleum products that Rockefeller was behind.4 It's similar to the financial system, Moss said, in that your best bet is often to "forget" everything you've been taught and open your mind to starting fresh. "I see the same thing in the financial system. Like, you go through economics classes, and then you get a job working for a financial firm, and then you're just kind of a salesperson, just selling the products they have, and it's really hard for you to untrain yourself and start looking for those solutions."5 In relation to your health, it's important to ignore the mainstream advice to eat vegetable oils, which are more accurately defined as seed oils. Seed oils are hidden in virtually every processed food, including restaurant foods, and there's virtually nothing more destructive to your body in producing heart disease, cancer, age-related macular degeneration, diabetes, obesity and dementia.6 Chicken and Pork Are a Major Source of Seed OilsEven if you cut out processed foods and other major seed-oil offenders like sauces and salad dressings at restaurants, you can still be hit by these pernicious toxins because they're hidden in ostensibly "healthy" foods like chicken and pork. These animals are fed grains loaded with the omega-6 fat linoleic acid, which is found in most seed oils and causes health damage when consumed at the excessive levels that are common today. Many people eat loads of chicken because it's perceived as a health food and it's inexpensive, but it's a major source of linoleic acid. In your own cooking, examples of healthy fats to use instead of seed oils are beef tallow, butter or coconut oil. Time-Restricted Eating, Exercise for Better HealthMoss and I also spoke about time-restricted eating, which means condensing your meals into an, ideally, six- to eight-hour window. This will improve your health in a variety of ways, primarily by improving your mitochondrial health and metabolic flexibility. It can also increase autophagy,7 which helps your body clear out damaged cells. Moss also mentioned nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), a vital signaling molecule8 that's also believed to play an important role in longevity. This is partly due to its role as an essential substrate for sirtuins,9 which are enzymes related to longevity, as well as its role in DNA repair. NAD modulates energy production and many enzymes and in so doing controls hundreds of processes in your body including the survival of cells and energy metabolism. NAD is influenced on a daily basis by what you eat, exercise levels and more, and also declines with age, leading to changes in metabolism and an increased risk of disease.10 Exercise, especially strength training with blood flow restriction, is one of the best ways to increase NAD levels and energy,11 because it activates NAMPT, an enzyme that's responsible for NAD biosynthesis. You can see an interview where I go into more depth below. You can use inexpensive Super BFR bands on Amazon, but if you want to go out and use what many professional athletes use and the one I use virtually every day you can get 10% off on KAATSU with this link. Another strategy to boost your health and longevity is regular sauna usage. As your body is subjected to reasonable amounts of heat stress, it gradually becomes acclimated to the heat, prompting a number of beneficial changes to occur in your body. These adaptations include increased plasma volume and blood flow to your heart and muscles (which increase athletic endurance) along with increased muscle mass due to greater levels of heat-shock proteins and growth hormone.12 It's also a powerful detoxification method, due to the sweating that it promotes. Unprecedented Manipulation and CensorshipThe ability to freely share information such as this is being threatened nearly every day. Due to self-appointed authorities controlling the pandemic narrative, acting as the arbiters of what is right and wrong, and declaring anything against it misinformation, open debate is being stifled and the free sharing of information is censored. Due to a number of very serious threats against me, personally, and my business, we recently removed 25 years' worth of content from Mercola.com. This was necessary to persevere in the current censorship climate, as each day rules are being changed to deplatform health advocates. While this threat to freedom is reaching new heights each day, it's been going on for many years. Over two years ago, Google took me out of their search engine, and rigged the tool so that, if you look me up, you'll only see bad information instead of the decades of valuable health information I've provided. When you consider that 93% of the world's online searches use Google,13 you can see that their control runs deep and they — along with other social media platforms — are a major reason why this pandemic brainwashing propaganda campaign has been so successful. Google has been called a dictator with unprecedented power because it relies on techniques of manipulation that have never existed before in human history, according to Robert Epstein, a Harvard trained psychologist who is now a senior research psychologist for the American Institute of Behavioral Research and Technology, where for the last decade he has helped expose Google's manipulative and deceptive practices.14 They're not only a surveillance agency — think about products like Google Wallet, Google Docs, Google Drive and YouTube — but also a censoring agency with the ability to restrict or block access to websites across the internet, thus deciding what you can and cannot see. Thriving in an Age of Scientific Censorship"I think the problem used to be getting information," Moss said. "Today, the problem is maybe too much information. So how do you discern it? And then even now, more importantly, if one side is being erased? So it's a complex issue, but what can the average person do to, one, be able to discern the information better, and then find the right information?" Learning how to navigate this unprecedented cancel culture and emerge with the truth is possible, but you'll typically need to look outside of typical social media platforms. Identify people who you believe are experts in the field and follow what they're doing. Many of these experts have had their accounts banned on Facebook, Twitter and even YouTube. So you have to go straight to their site. Using RSS feeds, so you can collect information on a variety of topics at once, which makes it a bit easier. It's also important to understand that you really cannot trust almost any search engine, even the non-Google search engines, because Google has developed the most effective and sophisticated search engine tool that ever existed, and almost every other alternative search engine uses Google as a search data structure. So there's no alternative — it would cost billions, hundreds of billions, to create an alternative. Then, once you read information, it's also wise to ask who is benefiting from the information and whether the source is conflicted. It's so important, Moss said, to "look at the information that you get, get it from trusted sources that you've gathered — friends that are like-minded maybe — and just try not to trust everything that you see on Google or YouTube."15 Building a community of like-minded people is also important, and aligning yourself with those who have healthy habits and who are not brainwashed by propaganda will be a solid strategy going forward. This is a primary reason for Moss' live event — to build new connections and provide a strong community support system. It's now more important than ever that we support each other and work together to sustain resources and develop the creativity to find a solution to the direction the world is headed. from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/10/29/building-your-health-is-wealth.aspx At the start of each year, the world’s elite hop into their private jets and descend upon Davos, Switzerland, a city prized not only for its luxury ski resorts but also for hosting the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting. Also known as the Davos Forum, the event takes on a different theme each year, providing a global platform for business leaders, government officials, academia and other members of society to discuss “critical issues.”1 WEF is one of the key players behind The Great Reset, with their “new normal” dictum that, by 2030, you will own nothing and be happy.2 In such a scheme, the world’s resources will be owned and controlled by the technocratic elite. All items and resources are to be used by the collective, while actual ownership is restricted to an upper stratum of social class. Just how “upper class”? To even attend the WEF annual meeting, you must be privately invited or a member of WEF, which costs $60,000 to $600,000. The attendance badge for the meeting is extra and costs another $27,000 in 2020, just to get entrance to the conference.3 Arriving on Private Jets to Discuss SustainabilityThe irony was palpable at Davos 2020, which brought in a “steady stream” of private planes and helicopters so their passengers could discuss the climate crisis and sustainability.4 In 2018, more than 1,000 private jets and helicopters similarly made their way to Davos and, in 2017, an estimated 200 private flights landed in the city each day during the event.5 By 2050, it’s estimated that aviation will contribute 22% of global carbon emissions. Still, in 2019, more than 600 private planes arrived at the Davos Forum, and that doesn’t include the military planes that transported an additional 60 presidents and prime ministers.6 But we needn’t worry about this indulgence of the upper classes at the expense of the environment, according to WEF. “Offering little self-awareness, leaders of the WEF claim that the jet-set class promises to purchase carbon credits to offset the emissions from their planes,” Forbes noted. This is yet another strategy of the technocratic elite to set up a new wave of colonization in the name of sustainability and “net zero” carbon emissions. Rich Carbon Super-Emitters Plan to Buy Their Way OutThe deadline Bill Gates has given to reach net zero emissions is 2050.7 It’s another ironic statement coming from the jet-set elite. Gates lives in a 66,000-square-foot mansion and travels in a private jet that uses up 486 gallons of fuel every hour.8 As a result of buying up staggering amounts of farmland, he’s a major contributor to carbon emissions,9 and his jet-setting lifestyle also makes him a carbon “super-emitter.”10 But when it comes to the elite, it’s “do as I say, not as I do.” As explained by Vandana Shiva, in order to force the world to accept The Great Reset’s new food and agricultural system, new conditionalities are being created through net zero “nature-based” solutions, which are anything but good for the environment and favor the rich. Navdanya’s report, “Earth Democracy: Connecting Rights of Mother Earth to Human Rights and Well-Being of All,” explains:11
The idea that the elite can continue to pollute but simply purchase carbon credits to “offset” their pollution is simply a matter of smoke and mirrors. Speaking with Business Insider, Lucy Gilliam, with the European clean transport nonprofit Transport & Environment, stated, "You're not actually removing the emissions that have been created by that plane. The plane will have burned that fuel, and the carbon has been released into the atmosphere."12 Davos 2021: Execute The Great ResetIn 2021, due to the pandemic the Davos Forum was held virtually in January and again in person in Singapore in August. During the five-day January event, which was attended by 1,507 people from “the highest levels of leadership,” five domains of The Great Reset Initiative were discussed, including:13
It’s made clear that the COVID-19 pandemic has created “a unique window of opportunity” to rapidly usher in The Great Reset, which involves changing everything from future global relations and the direction of national economies to “the priorities of societies, the nature of business models and the management of a global commons.”14 The end goal is to “build a new social contract,”15 which sounds like a lofty goal while telling you exactly nothing. “Build back better” is a tagline that’s used often with The Great Reset, and though this is being played off as a new initiative, it’s actually a rebranding of terms for technocracy and the old “New World Order.” Part of the plan involves the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which Schwab has been discussing since at least 2016,16 and which “is characterized by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital and biological spheres.” In terms of government, the Revolution will bring new technological powers that allow for increased population control via “pervasive surveillance systems and the ability to control digital infrastructure.”17 As for as its effects on people, Klaus Schwab, WEF’s founder and executive chairman, wrote in 2016:18
Davos 2022: Ushering in Stakeholder CapitalismDavos 2022 will take place in January 2022, with plans to continue The Great Reset narrative. The theme, “Working Together, Restoring Trust,” will focus on “accelerating stakeholder capitalism, harnessing the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and ensuring a more inclusive future of work.”19 Also known as stakeholder economy, Forbes described stakeholder capitalism as “the notion that a firm focuses on meeting the needs of all its stakeholders: customers, employees, partners, the community and society as a whole.”20 The idea of stakeholder capitalism has been around since at least 1932, and was also endorsed by nearly 200 CEOs of large corporations in August 2019.21 However, it is now being accelerated as part of The Great Reset. “Business has now to fully embrace stakeholder capitalism, which means not only maximizing profits, but use their capabilities and resources in cooperation with governments and civil society to address the key issues of this decade. They have to actively contribute to a more cohesive and sustainable world,” said Schwab.22 However, forms of stakeholder capitalism have already been tried and failed, because balancing conflicting stakeholder claims was near-impossible and only led to mass confusion and poor returns.23 The failure of this strategy is what led big businesses to focus on maximizing shareholder value instead. The Future of Food, Privacy and Freedom Are at StakeIn stakeholder capitalism, private corporations become “trustees of society,” as Schwab said, which he added is “clearly the best response to today’s social and environmental challenges.”24 But while it sounds like a good thing to have corporations looking out for their customers, suppliers, employees and society as a whole, the underlying theme is that private corporations take power over society — not elected leaders. WEF is partnered with multinational corporations that lead the food, oil, technology and pharmaceutical industries. What does a future look like in which these corporations call all the shots? We’ve already seen snippets, such as the 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit, which prompted boycotts from farmers and human rights groups over claims that it favored agribusiness interests, elite foundations and the exploitation of African food systems.25 In terms of Big Tech, it’s possible it would end up as its own global governing body, wielding increasing power over society. Your privacy and data, your food and your access to medications would all be under the control of these corporate “custodians.” As political scientist Ivan Wecke wrote in Open Democracy:26
from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/10/28/1000-private-jets-for-the-great-reset.aspx This article was previously published January 17, 2021, and has been updated with new information. Dawson Church,1 Ph.D., is a leader in the energy psychology movement, one of the most common forms being the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), which I have promoted for years. Church investigated and built on the EFT techniques developed by Gary Craig2 in the 1990s (which in turn was a derivative of the founder of energy tapping, Roger Callahan's, work3). While Craig was not a clinical investigator, Dawson's work has led to over 100 clinical trials on EFT. In this interview, Church shares insights from his experience, which he has also documented in the books "Mind to Matter: The Astonishing Science of How Your Brain Creates Material Reality" and "Bliss Brain: The Neuroscience of Remodeling Your Brain for Resilience, Creativity and Joy." This information is particularly timely in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While the infection itself has been shown to be far less lethal than initially suspected, government responses to it have undoubtedly led to an epidemic of fear and stress, which can have serious health consequences. As explained by Church:
The Importance of Positive ThinkingAs noted by Church, our brains are hard-wired and evolutionarily adapted to pay attention to potential threats. Failing to notice a threat can get you killed, whereas there's no evolutionary reward for failing to notice the good stuff. As a result, most of us need to train our brain to notice the positive, and to feel gratitude.
The Benefits of EcoMeditationIn 2008, Church attended a conference where he presented with Roland McCraty,4 head researcher in how the heart and mind interconnect from HeartMath Institute, and Joe Dispenza,5 whose fields include mind-body medicine and brain/heart coherence. Curious about what would happen if he combined the best evidence-based methods, he came up with what eventually became known as "EcoMeditation" — a conglomerate of techniques proven to rapidly increase positivity and well-being. They include:
According to Church, when you do them together, they reinforce each other. "The whole is more than the sum of its parts," he says. EcoMeditation has now been empirically tested and refined, showing that it can lower baseline cortisol levels by one-third in as little as a week. And, when stress chemicals like cortisol and adrenaline decline, the neurochemicals of repair and rejuvenation such as DHEA, serotonin and dopamine increase. In one trial, Church looked at the effects of EcoMeditation on immunoglobulins, antibodies that bind to and neutralize corona viruses. In just two days, participants who did EcoMeditation had a 27% rise in these antibodies in their mucous membranes.
Emotions Are ContagiousThe year 2020 has been challenging for most people. The drumbeat of negative news can overwhelm even the most resilient among us. In Chapter 2 of "Mind to Matter," Church talks about a phenomenon called "emotional contagion." In a nutshell, researchers have shown that emotions have an impact similar to that of infectious disease. They're contagious, and affect those around us. He cites one study in which they found that the next-door neighbor of a happy person is 35% more likely to be happy as well, and the neighbor twice removed is 15% more likely to be happy. That person's neighbor, in turn, who is 3 degrees removed from the happy person is 6% more likely to be happy. The same contagion rule applies when the emotions are negative.
The Chemical Effects of MeditationOne of the reasons Dawson recommends meditation is because of the distinct biochemical effects it produces. He explains:
To show you how effective meditation can be in daily life, Dawson cites a 10-year-long study of high performing people by the McKinsey Consulting Group. It found that those who are able to enter this flow state are five times as productive as ordinary people. Another study by DARPA described in his book "Bliss Brain" found people who meditate improved their ability to solve complex problems by 490%. "That's why meditation is a powerful antidote to dealing with all the chaos of the world around us," Dawson says. These and many other studies can be found on www.eftuniverse.com/research-studies/eft-research. EcoMeditation SummarizedAs mentioned, EcoMeditation incorporates several different techniques, including EFT tapping, breath control and meditation. To download a free EcoMeditation audio track that guides you through each of the steps, see EcoMeditation.com. Step 1 involves tapping a series of acupuncture meridian end points. Dawson explains their relevance:
When you're doing EFT, you first focus on a target problem by formulating a statement. The target problem might be 'I'm afraid of catching the virus.' It might be, 'I'm afraid of dying.' It might be 'I've lost my job, I don't know how I will cope.' However, in EcoMeditation, you tap the points without defining a specific target problem. "We know that general tapping produces an effect," Dawson says. It basically regulates your energy system in a general way and helps you enter a space of calm. Next, you add in heart coherent breathing, muscular relaxation, neurofeedback techniques and meditation on compassion.
Emotional intensity is also important for optimal results, and the emotion of gratitude typically generates this. As such, compassion and gratitude go hand in hand and work very well together. Lastly, you need to recenter in your body. So, at the end of the meditation, open your eyes and take in your surroundings. You feel the weight of your body in the chair or on the cushion as you re-anchor yourself in the here and now.
Sheltering in LoveWhen California issued its first round of lockdown orders, Dawson and his wife agreed to use that time of increased togetherness to be extra nice to each other — to literally shelter in love. He explains:
