We are having a wildly insane status quo thrust upon us by the powerful and for the benefit of the powerful. Only difference is we&rsquo;re not all out in the streets, and instead of thrusting this horrible situation upon us suddenly, they&rsquo;ve been doing it this entire time.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">Which is precisely why we&rsquo;re not out in the streets. We were born into this mess, so we assume it&rsquo;s normal and that things are supposed to be this way. But it isn&rsquo;t, and they aren&rsquo;t.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">What is normal is health. Health is the normal default condition. If you wake up with a fever and stabbing pain in your abdomen you don&rsquo;t say &ldquo;Ah well I guess that&rsquo;s normal now, you can&rsquo;t expect to just not have a fever and stabbing abdominal pain,&rdquo; you recognize that there&rsquo;s an urgent problem and you take action to fix it.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">Even if you&rsquo;d been sick your entire life, you would understand that your situation is not normal. You would understand that the basic default condition is health, but some dysfunction in your specific system has deprived you of that normal state of being.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">In order for us to begin pushing back on the dysfunction of our current system, we need to begin looking at it in the same way. We need to clearly come to see how spectacularly divergent it is from the basic default condition of health. How sick it is. How abnormal it is.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">We need to see clearly that health is normal and sickness is abnormal, whether you&rsquo;re talking about an individual or a society.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">It&rsquo;s not normal for a civilization to be dominated by plutocrats and secretive government agencies and to only get offered the choice between two authoritarian corporate warmongers in a pretend election to a position of leadership that is almost entirely fake.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">It&rsquo;s not normal for there to be enough wealth to feed and care for everyone and yet instead have people with unfathomable amounts of money while others die of lack.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">It&rsquo;s not normal for a globe-spanning empire to dominate our species with endless military violence and starvation sanctions for the sole purpose of maintaining and expanding the unipolar hegemony of a few sociopathic manipulators.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">It&rsquo;s not normal for us to be destroying our ecosystem in order to grow an economy that is ultimately an imaginary construction in our minds instead of learning to collaborate harmoniously with that ecosystem.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">It&rsquo;s not normal for us all to be competing against each other at the expense of the entire world instead of collaborating with each other for the good of the entire world.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">We need to get crystal clear that these things are not normal, because our entire society is completely saturated with skilful manipulations telling us that they are.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">I write a lot about the more egregious, incendiary lies that the mass media have notoriously promulgated like WMDs in Iraq, Russiagate, the imaginary Labour antisemitism crisis etc. But the most destructive lies the mass media tell us are not the ones that stand out the most in our collective memory. The most damaging lies they tell us are the little ones they tell us many times every single day by way of spin, omission, half-truth and distortion in order to give us the impression that this status quo is normal and inescapable.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">You see it in the way they talk about politicians who stand even a tiny bit outside the warmongering oligarchic beltway consensus like they are radical extremists. You see it in the way they&rsquo;ll focus on protests in Belarus or Hong Kong while ignoring them in Bolivia or France. You see it in the way they ignore Yemen when it&rsquo;s the single most horrific thing happening on our planet right now. You see it in all the sitcoms and movies where debt and low wages and other symptoms of status quo dysfunction are almost never a featured concern.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">You see it in innumerable other ways, day in and day out, and they add up. They add up for someone who was born into a gravely dysfunctional system and has never known anything resembling health to compare it to. They&rsquo;re like someone who has always been sick, who has also never known or heard about anyone who is healthy.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">You can tell me we&rsquo;ve never had a healthy society since the dawn of civilization all you want. All you are telling me is that we have always been sick. Being sick all your life doesn&rsquo;t mean health isn&rsquo;t normal or that health shouldn&rsquo;t be urgently sought; if anything it means it should be sought more urgently.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">It is not human nature to be this sick, and anyone who tells you it is is lying. Anyone who tells you it&rsquo;s human nature to be greedy, violent, domineering and abusive isn&rsquo;t telling you about humanity&rsquo;s nature, they&rsquo;re telling you about their own nature. And it&rsquo;s probably a bad idea to turn your back on them.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">We can have health. We can have normality. But just as you won&rsquo;t return to health by pretending that your fever and abdominal pains are normal, we can&rsquo;t create a healthy society as long as we allow ourselves to be manipulated into the belief that our backwards, insane status quo is what normality looks like.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">So abnormalize the status quo. Abnormalize it every chance you get. Abnormalize it by holding a clear idea in your mind of what a healthy society would look like, then point out all the bizarre deviations from that vision at every opportunity. Remind people that this is crazy. Assure them that it doesn&rsquo;t have to be this way. That the only thing keeping it this way is the fact that the powerful keep pouring vast troves of wealth into manipulating us into thinking that we should.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">Help people see what health is so that they can see what sickness is. Interrupt conversations about which flavor of sickness would be preferable this election season to point to what real health would look like. Disrupt all attempts to normalize our status quo, and use whatever reach you have to help abnormalize it.</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;">__________________________</p><p style="margin-top: 15px; font-size: 16px;"><em>Thanks for reading!

Sky News host Alan Jones says when it comes to Australia&rsquo;s COVID-19 response, governments across all levels have &ldquo;done nothing but ignite fear and alarmism and anxiety&quot;.</p><p>Australia has been plunged into a recession as governments across the country close their borders and restrict trade due to the novel coronavirus.</p><p>At least 421 have died from the novel coronavirus, the bulk of whom are Victorians.</p><p>Mr Jones said the decision by state and federal governments to keep a daily tally on COVID deaths does nothing but &ldquo;ignite fear and alarmism and anxiety.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p><p>&ldquo;In fact, as I speak to you today, in the last 24 hours, no new cases in the ACT; five in NSW; none in the Northern Territory; none in Queensland; one in South Australia; none in Tasmania; none in WA,&rdquo; he said.</p><p>&ldquo;Victoria excluded, there are 11 people in hospital and 7 in intensive care. And the economy is being smashed.&nbsp;</p><p>&ldquo;Instead of reading out these meaningless statistics every day to frighten everybody, why not tell the public that worldwide there are 700,000 deaths from coronavirus, but there are 60 million deaths in the world every year. Sixty million.&nbsp;</p><p>&ldquo;Why do we have to have this daily recitation of cases? Is there any other disease for which this happens?&nbsp;</p><p>&ldquo;This is nothing more than a political stunt to justify taking away our liberties and our freedoms, locking the joint down, making sure we obey and if you don&#39;t cop the punishment.&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;Grab power over everybody, which they most probably don&#39;t intend to surrender.&quot;</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="111" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></p>]]></description>

Since the US mortgage and market crash of 2008, none of the mechanisms that allowed the crash to occur have been removed. True, for the past twelve years, the stock market has appeared to recover. In reality, though, the market is the opposite of healthy. It has been surviving mainly on stock buybacks by companies that have been using some of their profits to buy their own stocks in order to prop up prices. This scheme has provided the illusion that the economy is thriving. But the stock market&rsquo;s action is not an absolute indicator of the real economy&rsquo;s production and consumption.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Indeed, by the summer of 2019 it had become evident that not even the stock buyback strategy was going to keep the lumbering economy alive. Thus, as a short-term solution, the New York Federal Reserve last September started injecting billions of dollars into the stock market in the form of short-term loans (repos).&nbsp; While the intent was to keep the stock market chugging along, the effect was more like kicking an empty tin can down the road for as long as possible until finally the road ends. Eventually, a long-term solution would have to be found to reset the entire world economy. Enter the &ldquo;shadow bank&rdquo; BlackRock, the world&rsquo;s largest asset manager with over $7 trillion dollars in assets under direct management and another $20 trillion managed through its Aladdin risk-monitoring software.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">In a&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Ftime_continue%3D2%26v%3Dq9McyZgojeM&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006652481&amp;sdata=V%2Bowh%2BL9SDfgMVYwC3tOJ4Y9Nu3e0PZZdDKyBwCTsGE%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank">statement</a>&nbsp;released in August 2019 on Bloomberg News, BlackRock observed that &ldquo;the current policy space for global central banks is limited and will not be enough to respond to a significant, let alone a dramatic, downturn.&rdquo; To solve this problem, BlackRock hired former central bankers from the US, Canada, and Switzerland. Their orders were to devise a&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blackrock.com%2Fcorporate%2Fliterature%2Fwhitepaper%2Fbii-macro-perspectives-august-2019.pdf&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006652481&amp;sdata=B7qqZuW8i%2BsWHdN%2BvpT%2B1IMZ4vOi%2FIfkXN1OX82Q1Ws%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank">plan</a>&nbsp;that would enable BlackRock to expand its role in the global fiscal and monetary policy arena by blurring the lines between government fiscal policy and central bank monetary policy.

In other words, this money from taxpayers to the government will be used to directly buy stocks, bonds, junk bonds, mortgages, and junk mortgages from Wall Street investment firms. These purchases are designed to inflate the value of stock market assets. In the US, some 85 percent of these assets are held by the richest 10 percent of Americans.

Thus, if Trump&rsquo;s move to defund that international body goes through, it will elevate both the Gates Foundation and Gates&rsquo;s GAVI to the top of the global health pyramid.

Canuck Law researchers dug up the fact that Crestview Strategy employs two former Liberal Party associates, Jason Clark and Zakery Blais, to lobby the Canadian government on behalf of GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance. These two Liberal Party operatives-turned-lobbyists met with the Prime Minister&rsquo;s Office (PMO) staff&mdash;the chief of staff, the director of policy and planning, a policy advisor, and a special assistant&mdash;as well as with members of Parliament on at least nineteen occasions between March 2018 and January 2020 to push the GAVI vaccine message. Records show that a third Crestview employee, Jennifer Babcock, who has since left the firm, lobbied the government for GAVI just one time.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Canuck Law explains: &ldquo;These are just 20 reports that are on file with the Office of the Lobbying Commissioner. It&rsquo;s fair to assume that there have been many, many more talks that aren&rsquo;t documented.&rdquo; It therefore comes as no surprise that Ottawa has thus far shelled out some $800 million for Gates&rsquo;s global vaccine agenda and that PM Justin Trudeau constantly refers to society as living in &ldquo;the new normal until a vaccine is found.&rdquo;</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">In the US government, the level of corruption among vaccine promoters is more entrenched and insidious.

A truly Orwellian prospect!</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Gates&rsquo;s funding is not strictly limited to the field of global health.

The COVI-PASS, as mentioned above, relates more to one&rsquo;s health record, whereas ID2020 is a complete identification record of your entire life. It is your driver&rsquo;s license, passport, work identification pass, building access card, debt and credit cards, transit passes, police record, health records, and more&mdash;all wrapped up in one identification system. It is being sold to us by the statists as a new and improved means of &ldquo;protecting our civil liberties and personal data,&rdquo; when in reality the exact inverse is true: as with any electronic device, it can and will be used by the-powers-that-shouldn&rsquo;t-be to monitor a person&rsquo;s every move, and if necessary, restrict a person&rsquo;s movements.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Although ID2020 was originally formed in 2019, when GAVI joined forces with the Rockefeller Foundation, Microsoft, Accenture, and IDEO.org, it was put into motion by the globalists at the onset of the supposed pandemic. And it is now being tested in Bangladesh. Once again, as we have already seen in the above-mentioned economic reset, the COVID-19 crisis presents the perfect opportunity to launch the ID2020 system.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: inherit;">The Path Forward</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">We must now ask ourselves: Is it merely coincidence that these measures&mdash;the economic reset, the implementation of ID2020, the creation of Trust Stamp, and Mastercard&rsquo;s Wellness program&mdash;are all being put into motion, simultaneously, on the heels of the fabricated pandemic? We may never find out if their joint appearance is a coordinated effort by just a few top technocrats or by all the participants in these schemes&mdash;the usually compartmentalization of information and tasks keeps the lower-level actors from knowing the real purpose and the high-up players in any scheme of this sort.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">What is certain, though, is that all of the medical martial law edicts that have been issued in united fashion have been based on unsubstantiated science. Equally clear is that the drive for a global COVID-19 vaccine regimen and the global surveillance grid are moving ahead in concert to transform the world as we know it&mdash;<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">if</i>&nbsp;we allow it to happen. As Professor Michel Chossudovsky and others have often said, we need mass movements, such as the #ExposeBillGates movement, to counter and dismantle the technocrats&rsquo; diabolical designs on us.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">When and if our governments ever signal&mdash;presumably post-mass vaccination&mdash; that it is time to return to normal, beware. We must&nbsp;<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">never</i>go back to the old normal. For it is this old normal&mdash;based on a corrupt and broken paradigm&mdash;that landed us in pandemic prison in the first place. We must move forward with the new knowledge we have acquired in recent months, and we must build a better paradigm&mdash;one based on truth and compassion for all of humanity.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Madame Curie was right. Nothing is to be feared, it is only to be understood. We must fearlessly speak out and share this information.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">*</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit; text-align: left;">Note to readers: please click the share buttons above or below.

With most of the planet under some form of medical martial law, we would do well to follow her advice: understand more and fear less about the pandemic. The way to do that is to establish the verifiable, scientific facts about the SARS-CoV-2 virus and separate those facts from the fiction being touted by a fear-mongering news media. Only then will we stop surrendering our inherent freedoms to COVID-19 propaganda.</em></p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit; text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="160" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/31758/master/" width="592"></p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: inherit;">Fiction #1: Wearing a face mask will protect you and others from the coronavirus.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;"><span style="font-size: inherit;">Fact #1:</span>&nbsp;Contrary to what many medical and government officials tell us, there is no evidence to support the claim that face masks&mdash;whether N95, surgical, or cloth&mdash;protect the wearer from any virus.

There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure. Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.&rdquo;</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">As for those people who wear a cloth mask in the belief that &ldquo;it&rsquo;s better than wearing nothing,&rdquo; a&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sciencedaily.com%2Freleases%2F2015%2F04%2F150422121724.htm&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006412591&amp;sdata=%2FC9uc1hCE4KTMAWI1omcS25ET04b3VuYpQtZ4oHJ%2F0g%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank">RCT</a>&nbsp;conducted in 2015 showed that cloth masks do&nbsp;<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">not</i>&nbsp;work at all. In actuality, a cloth mask puts the wearer at increased risk of respiratory illness and viral infections.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">In light of the plethora of available science on face masks, it is heartening to see that some governments are making rational decisions based on that science. In the Netherlands, for example, officials&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zerohedge.com%2Fgeopolitical%2Fthere-no-proven-effectiveness-netherlands-refuses-mandate-mask-wearing-public&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006412591&amp;sdata=vgAV4P0OG2OAYwrfmHdsFB5b9F0RdITR8KU4f6XdO94%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank">are refusing to mandate mask-wearing in public</a>.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">In the end, the face mask should be viewed as a device used by authoritarians to control the masses and enforce compliance to lawless edicts. The mask lulls wearers into feeling protected from biological harm. Meanwhile, the real harm being done to them is psychological and spiritual. By submitting to mandatory face-covering orders based on flawed science and imposed by either unelected-but-politicized medical officials and technocrats or elected-but-compromised politicians who hold positions in all levels of government&mdash;these mask wearers don&rsquo;t realize that they&rsquo;re handing over their precious liberties, their individuality, and even, one might say, their very souls to soulless tyrants.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: inherit;">Fiction #2: Scientists have isolated and purified the SARS-CoV-2 RNA virus.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;"><span style="font-size: inherit;">Fact #2</span>: To date, not a single team of scientists has isolated and purified the SARS-CoV-2 RNA virus. Some researchers&nbsp;<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">claim</i>&nbsp;to have done so. But when their findings are scrutinized, they fall short. Just as Randomized Controlled Trials are required to do accurate studies of the efficacy and safety of medical devices like face masks or products such as prescription drugs, so, too, is there a major benchmark that must be satisfied if one is to prove that he has indeed correctly identified and isolated a virus. That benchmark has been, since 1890, a set of principals known as the&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmicrobenotes.com%2Frobert-koch-and-kochs-postulates%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006422584&amp;sdata=aShsu7vC0eB1kNHbOOLHD6yug5mLi9TpvwAdSQvPFJ0%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank">Koch postulates</a>, named after famed German physician and bacteriologist Robert Koch. All researchers must apply his four postulates if they are to prove or disprove a cause-and-effect relationship between a pathogen and a particular clinical disease.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">For example, in February 2020, Chinese and Dutch researchers published studies purporting to show that they had isolated the SARS-CoV-2 virus by satisfying all of the Koch postulates. Four months later, however, freelance writer Armory Devereux and molecular biologist and researcher Rosemary Frei revealed the truth about those studies in an&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Foff-guardian.org%2F2020%2F06%2F09%2Fscientists-have-utterly-failed-to-prove-that-the-coronavirus-fulfills-kochs-postulates%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006422584&amp;sdata=w%2BRaqhD7ALdkfSR%2BU4uV9bc6%2B0OcQ7TnP74z6Wd%2Bn2Y%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank"><i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Off-Guardian</i></a>&nbsp;article. Their heavily investigated and well-documented piece confirms that the Chinese and Dutch researchers did&nbsp;<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">not</i>&nbsp;fulfill Koch&rsquo;s third postulate, which involves replicating or cloning the DNA to form a new copy of the virus and then injecting that new copy into a significant number of living hosts (usually lab animals) with the intent to reproduce the same discrete diagnostic symptoms associated with the virus. In fact, Frei discovered, after reviewing numerous research papers from all over the world, that not a single group of scientists was able to replicate or clone the DNA to form a new copy of the virus. In short, they failed to meet Koch&rsquo;s third postulate.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Another team of investigative journalists, Torsten Engelbrecht and Konstantin Demeter, wrote an equally comprehensive article on the same subject for&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Foff-guardian.org%2F2020%2F06%2F27%2Fcovid19-pcr-tests-are-scientifically-meaningless%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006432580&amp;sdata=vPgn8%2FlunOUhPeqtmoVsLCtizRpv3RcQSbFbvKUNl7A%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank"><i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Off-Guardian</i></a>. They, too, concluded that there is not a single research paper out there demonstrating that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been successfully isolated and finally purified. In addition, Engelbrecht and Demeter discovered that &ldquo;there is no scientific proof that those RNA sequences are the causative agent of what is called COVID-19.&rdquo;</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">In other words, by not successfully fulfilling all of Koch&rsquo;s postulates, scientists have thus far not proven the existence of any new coronavirus. This is why molecular biologist Dr. Andrew Kaufman has suggested in numerous interviews&mdash;on&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthehighwire.com%2Fwatch%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006432580&amp;sdata=PCWgyzkGgVgf5dQ8fvPi1LC8oBo4iFC8%2BlpbP5fgCQw%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank">The Highwire</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbluepigsandbox.com%2FliveLAV%2Finterviews%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006442575&amp;sdata=p0W1mYXrLVOKk9kVtJ00bYdJIX6TFFG0TL8o0lMfw74%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank">The Last American Vagabond</a>&nbsp;and elsewhere&mdash;that the current coronavirus is&nbsp;<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">not</i>&nbsp;a new disease. Dr. Kaufman submits, moreover, that the particles scientists say they are looking at through their electron microscopes are perhaps not the virus at all but are, rather, exosomes being produced by the body. These exosomes, containing the same genetic material as a virus, are naturally produced by the human body as a defense mechanism in response to an external attack by a toxin emanating from our polluted environment. This would be a possible explanation as to why the &ldquo;pandemic&rdquo; started in China&rsquo;s Wuhan province. This area of China is one of the most polluted places on earth. In Wuhan, the ecosystem in all its glorious biodiversity has been utterly destroyed by man-made pollutants and the heavy use of glyphosate in industrial farming.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Besides pollution, there is yet another plausible explanation as to why this particular coronavirus (if it exists, which some reputable experts highly doubt) may have possibly started in Wuhan.

Thus, the test can detect people who have developed antibody T-cells to any previous coronavirus or who are asymptomatic. Either way, these individuals are automatically classified as COVID-19 cases. How convenient for the pandemic-pushers!

Soon they, too, will begin to show a decline in mortality rates.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Why is there a difference in the timing of these peaks and descents among the states? It just means that for any number of reasons&mdash;for instance, a variation between individuals in their susceptibility to infection and their propensity to infect others&mdash;different regions of the country have reached the Herd Immunity Threshold (HIT) at different times. The HIT is the percentage of the population that needs to be immune in order to prevent the disease from spreading. This value varies among not only regions but nations as well. It is usually around the 10 percent to 20 percent mark for the seasonal flu&mdash;meaning that once the HIT value passes 20 percent, the rate of new infections starts to decline until the virus is extinguished.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">In January 2020, health officials and scientists originally thought that the HIT value for COVID-19 was going to be over 60 percent. But after five months a very different picture emerged. From a team of international research scientists who released a&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.medrxiv.org%2Fcontent%2F10.1101%2F2020.07.23.20160762v1.full.pdf&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006562522&amp;sdata=u34ze22PMn9PTWIPh0EiICK64nMbm1g1J%2FuzVu2mXj4%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank">paper on herd immunity</a>in late July, we learn that the global HIT this year was in the aforementioned 10&ndash;20 percent range.

Hence, we can conclude from this data that over 70 percent of the population has already developed a natural immunity to the virus from previous exposure to corona-type viruses.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">All of this proves that our complex and beautifully designed immunity system, which produces killer T-cells and antibodies to fight off all viruses for the purpose of building herd immunity, is doing exactly what it has been doing for the past 200,000 years. Not incidentally, most of those years were before vaccines were dreamed up, developed, and brought to market. Had this not been the case, the human species would have vanished off the face of the earth long ago.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Despite the empty rhetoric of our politicians, we now know that the draconian, counterproductive lockdown measures (read: the shutdown of the global economy) imposed by local, state, provincial, and national governments (read: and their technocrat handlers) have nothing to do with defeating the spread of the virus. If anything, the mandatory lockdowns only postpone the day when herd immunity is inevitably reached. Even New Zealand, which completely closed itself off from the rest of the world at the start of the fake pandemic, was simply delaying its day of reckoning.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">If one wanted to delay a society from reaching herd immunity from the flu for as long as possible, one would do the following to everyone (including healthy people, who have no comorbidities): impose strict, lengthy quarantine measures after travel, isolate even non-travelers in their homes for most hours of the day, enforce physical distancing rules, require the use of face masks, close everything from beaches and amusement parks and stadiums to restaurants and hair salons and, God forbid, churches and temples and mosques! Oh, and shut down schools. As we have seen, this is exactly what the political and medical &ldquo;rulers&rdquo;&mdash;including fake philanthropists&mdash;of most countries did, to their barely suppressed delight and to everyone else&rsquo;s dismay.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">A country that stands in stark contrast to this stalling tactic is Sweden. It has refused to participate in the total lockdown strategy. Instead, from the first, it allowed herd immunity to build up naturally. Yet Sweden&rsquo;s HIT value is at 14 percent&mdash;in the same range as the nations that&nbsp;<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">did</i>&nbsp;impose lockdowns.

Incidentally, this Dana Ashlie video, which can be seen on BitChute, was banned from YouTube for purportedly violating Terms of Service. (Translation: Facts that contradict the pandemic propagandists&rsquo; fakery mustn&rsquo;t be seen or heard by the general public, lest their fear of a virulent, fatal disease be deflated like a popped balloon.)</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Strange, too, that many so-called COVID-19 cases were anything but. Consider, for example, the situation in&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Foff-guardian.org%2F2020%2F03%2F23%2Fitaly-only-12-of-covid19-deaths-list-covid19-as-cause&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006632492&amp;sdata=2e0bBTFSIsTqoFggxovwHJu9%2BLFFKwQMfUaABQIxd5c%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank">Italy</a>, where &ldquo;only 12 per cent of the death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus, while 88 per cent of patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity&mdash;many had two or three.&rdquo;</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Strange, too, that in New York State, all the cases deemed to be COVID-19 were elderly patients who were removed from hospitals and dumped in&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.propublica.org%2Farticle%2Ffire-through-dry-grass-andrew-cuomo-saw-covid-19-threat-to-nursing-homes-then-he-risked-adding-to-it&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006642494&amp;sdata=5CdUkdvJe2SirJl8FBZKM03yOIWOoC6fO3kIIzOtOkw%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank">nursing homes</a>, where neglect and overcrowding and even the emotional toll produced by loneliness and fear resulted in many sickeningly sudden and sad deaths.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">And isn&rsquo;t it especially strange that one of the most obvious outcomes of flattening the curve was the loss of everyone&rsquo;s constitutional, civil, medical, parental, and religious rights? It was as if there had been a plan all along to dispense not only with lives, but also with rights&mdash;including the right to dissent!</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Now here we are, months later, still being bombarded by scary scenarios. Every major news outlet pounds us with fear-mongering predictions of second and third waves. The engineered-to-skyrocket cases of COVID-19 in the US are dominating the headlines. Some state governors and state and county health authorities and privately owned establishments are imposing ever-more-onerous rules regarding face masks and physical distancing&mdash;rules they realize would never pass the legal smell test in normal times, much less in a court of law. Meanwhile, the same dictators are doubling down on their innocent-sounding &ldquo;let&rsquo;s all get tested&rdquo; message.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">As the above five facts have shown, all of these public health measures are based on unsubstantiated science. Moreover, we have not even begun to feel the long-lasting economic effects of the &ldquo;pandemic.&rdquo; In the coming months and years, our national economies will become much more precarious. Is it possible that we already cash-strapped citizens will be ordered to pay back the billions of dollars that have been divvied out to us by our Big Brother governments?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">In some places, lockdowns may be gradually easing. But the relief measures being implemented have not helped the countless mid-sized and small business owners who have, one by one, decided to board their doors and close up shop forever. They are suffering twice-over: they must watch their own families be penalized and at the same time feel guilty for having to bid farewell to their employees, who by the millions are looking for non-existent jobs and standing in long unemployment lines. As layoffs keep mounting, nations are facing a massive fiscal crisis at the very time when their badly needed tax revenues are disappearing. In the near future, national governments will be forced to hand over entire sectors of the economy to their creditors, such as Goldman Sachs and BlackRock. In the end, private financial oligarchies will literally own the US and other nations, further eviscerating the concept of national sovereignty.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">So, why are we being forced to travel down this rocky road? One possible explanation could be that many governments may consider it political suicide to admit that their approach has been wrong. Thus, instead of immediately correcting their course of action, they are incrementally shifting gears. But could there be something far more sinister at play here? Could this entire &ldquo;pandemic&rdquo; be a gigantic smokescreen designed to conceal the diabolical actions of the globalist technocrats, whose agenda is to literally create, possess, and control a single worldwide economy and a single worldwide government?</p><p><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/blog/view/31953/what-are-the-truly-verifiable-facts-surrounding-covid-19-continued"><strong>Continued Click Next</strong></a></p></div>]]></description>

With most of the planet under some form of medical martial law, we would do well to follow her advice: understand more and fear less about the pandemic. The way to do that is to establish the verifiable, scientific facts about the SARS-CoV-2 virus and separate those facts from the fiction being touted by a fear-mongering news media.

Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.&rdquo;</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">As for those people who wear a cloth mask in the belief that &ldquo;it&rsquo;s better than wearing nothing,&rdquo; a&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sciencedaily.com%2Freleases%2F2015%2F04%2F150422121724.htm&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006412591&amp;sdata=%2FC9uc1hCE4KTMAWI1omcS25ET04b3VuYpQtZ4oHJ%2F0g%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank">RCT</a>&nbsp;conducted in 2015 showed that cloth masks do&nbsp;<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">not</i>&nbsp;work at all. In actuality, a cloth mask puts the wearer at increased risk of respiratory illness and viral infections.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">In light of the plethora of available science on face masks, it is heartening to see that some governments are making rational decisions based on that science.

The mask lulls wearers into feeling protected from biological harm. Meanwhile, the real harm being done to them is psychological and spiritual. By submitting to mandatory face-covering orders based on flawed science and imposed by either unelected-but-politicized medical officials and technocrats or elected-but-compromised politicians who hold positions in all levels of government&mdash;these mask wearers don&rsquo;t realize that they&rsquo;re handing over their precious liberties, their individuality, and even, one might say, their very souls to soulless tyrants.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: inherit;">Fiction #2: Scientists have isolated and purified the SARS-CoV-2 RNA virus.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;"><span style="font-size: inherit;">Fact #2</span>: To date, not a single team of scientists has isolated and purified the SARS-CoV-2 RNA virus. Some researchers&nbsp;<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">claim</i>&nbsp;to have done so. But when their findings are scrutinized, they fall short. Just as Randomized Controlled Trials are required to do accurate studies of the efficacy and safety of medical devices like face masks or products such as prescription drugs, so, too, is there a major benchmark that must be satisfied if one is to prove that he has indeed correctly identified and isolated a virus. That benchmark has been, since 1890, a set of principals known as the&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmicrobenotes.com%2Frobert-koch-and-kochs-postulates%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006422584&amp;sdata=aShsu7vC0eB1kNHbOOLHD6yug5mLi9TpvwAdSQvPFJ0%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank">Koch postulates</a>, named after famed German physician and bacteriologist Robert Koch. All researchers must apply his four postulates if they are to prove or disprove a cause-and-effect relationship between a pathogen and a particular clinical disease.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">For example, in February 2020, Chinese and Dutch researchers published studies purporting to show that they had isolated the SARS-CoV-2 virus by satisfying all of the Koch postulates. Four months later, however, freelance writer Armory Devereux and molecular biologist and researcher Rosemary Frei revealed the truth about those studies in an&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Foff-guardian.org%2F2020%2F06%2F09%2Fscientists-have-utterly-failed-to-prove-that-the-coronavirus-fulfills-kochs-postulates%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006422584&amp;sdata=w%2BRaqhD7ALdkfSR%2BU4uV9bc6%2B0OcQ7TnP74z6Wd%2Bn2Y%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank"><i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Off-Guardian</i></a>&nbsp;article.

Dr. Kaufman submits, moreover, that the particles scientists say they are looking at through their electron microscopes are perhaps not the virus at all but are, rather, exosomes being produced by the body. These exosomes, containing the same genetic material as a virus, are naturally produced by the human body as a defense mechanism in response to an external attack by a toxin emanating from our polluted environment. This would be a possible explanation as to why the &ldquo;pandemic&rdquo; started in China&rsquo;s Wuhan province. This area of China is one of the most polluted places on earth.

Thus, the test can detect people who have developed antibody T-cells to any previous coronavirus or who are asymptomatic. Either way, these individuals are automatically classified as COVID-19 cases.

Soon they, too, will begin to show a decline in mortality rates.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Why is there a difference in the timing of these peaks and descents among the states? It just means that for any number of reasons&mdash;for instance, a variation between individuals in their susceptibility to infection and their propensity to infect others&mdash;different regions of the country have reached the Herd Immunity Threshold (HIT) at different times. The HIT is the percentage of the population that needs to be immune in order to prevent the disease from spreading. This value varies among not only regions but nations as well. It is usually around the 10 percent to 20 percent mark for the seasonal flu&mdash;meaning that once the HIT value passes 20 percent, the rate of new infections starts to decline until the virus is extinguished.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">In January 2020, health officials and scientists originally thought that the HIT value for COVID-19 was going to be over 60 percent. But after five months a very different picture emerged. From a team of international research scientists who released a&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.medrxiv.org%2Fcontent%2F10.1101%2F2020.07.23.20160762v1.full.pdf&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006562522&amp;sdata=u34ze22PMn9PTWIPh0EiICK64nMbm1g1J%2FuzVu2mXj4%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank">paper on herd immunity</a>in late July, we learn that the global HIT this year was in the aforementioned 10&ndash;20 percent range.

Handley, a frequent contributing writer to the Children&rsquo;s Health Defense website<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">,&nbsp;</i>we now know that the HIT value for COVID-19 in the US this year has also been in the&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchildrenshealthdefense.org%2Fnews%2Flockdown-lunacy-2-0-second-wave-not-even-close%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006562522&amp;sdata=fHk8mus8o3yYmzDiVWuKCu3OJr9j34HDbjFvhBcoVDc%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank">10-20 percent</a>&nbsp;range, just like any seasonal flu. Hence, we can conclude from this data that over 70 percent of the population has already developed a natural immunity to the virus from previous exposure to corona-type viruses.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">All of this proves that our complex and beautifully designed immunity system, which produces killer T-cells and antibodies to fight off all viruses for the purpose of building herd immunity, is doing exactly what it has been doing for the past 200,000 years. Not incidentally, most of those years were before vaccines were dreamed up, developed, and brought to market. Had this not been the case, the human species would have vanished off the face of the earth long ago.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Despite the empty rhetoric of our politicians, we now know that the draconian, counterproductive lockdown measures (read: the shutdown of the global economy) imposed by local, state, provincial, and national governments (read: and their technocrat handlers) have nothing to do with defeating the spread of the virus. If anything, the mandatory lockdowns only postpone the day when herd immunity is inevitably reached. Even New Zealand, which completely closed itself off from the rest of the world at the start of the fake pandemic, was simply delaying its day of reckoning.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">If one wanted to delay a society from reaching herd immunity from the flu for as long as possible, one would do the following to everyone (including healthy people, who have no comorbidities): impose strict, lengthy quarantine measures after travel, isolate even non-travelers in their homes for most hours of the day, enforce physical distancing rules, require the use of face masks, close everything from beaches and amusement parks and stadiums to restaurants and hair salons and, God forbid, churches and temples and mosques! Oh, and shut down schools. As we have seen, this is exactly what the political and medical &ldquo;rulers&rdquo;&mdash;including fake philanthropists&mdash;of most countries did, to their barely suppressed delight and to everyone else&rsquo;s dismay.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">A country that stands in stark contrast to this stalling tactic is Sweden. It has refused to participate in the total lockdown strategy. Instead, from the first, it allowed herd immunity to build up naturally. Yet Sweden&rsquo;s HIT value is at 14 percent&mdash;in the same range as the nations that&nbsp;<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">did</i>&nbsp;impose lockdowns.

Apparently it fit neither the official narrative of COVID-19&rsquo;s dangers nor the promises being made by &ldquo;public health expert&rdquo;&nbsp;<span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: inherit;">Bill Gates</span>&nbsp;of the wonders of the coming anti-COVID-19 vaccine.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;"><span style="font-size: inherit;">Cui Bono?</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">From the inception of this manufactured crisis, way back in January 2020&mdash;which now feels like a lifetime ago!&mdash;the stated purpose for the lockdown measures was to &ldquo;flatten the curve&rdquo; so that hospitals everywhere would not be overwhelmed by the inevitable wave of incoming COVID-19 patients. Governments around the world did exactly that: they flattened the curve to the point of destroying the lives of millions of people and ruining their own national economies.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Strange, isn&rsquo;t it, that apparently very few hospitals, including in big cities, have been overrun by patients. Take for example, the Berlin hospital that a&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bitchute.com%2Fvideo%2FRYtXX3qSeDUY%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006622503&amp;sdata=k4bR1fLjTjPeK%2FRYNacIQj%2B%2B1%2FhginXPzaALZAMQ7Ok%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank">German journalist</a>&nbsp;walked through at the height of the pandemic, only to discover, to his surprise, that no one was there.

Incidentally, this Dana Ashlie video, which can be seen on BitChute, was banned from YouTube for purportedly violating Terms of Service. (Translation: Facts that contradict the pandemic propagandists&rsquo; fakery mustn&rsquo;t be seen or heard by the general public, lest their fear of a virulent, fatal disease be deflated like a popped balloon.)</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Strange, too, that many so-called COVID-19 cases were anything but. Consider, for example, the situation in&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Foff-guardian.org%2F2020%2F03%2F23%2Fitaly-only-12-of-covid19-deaths-list-covid19-as-cause&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006632492&amp;sdata=2e0bBTFSIsTqoFggxovwHJu9%2BLFFKwQMfUaABQIxd5c%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank">Italy</a>, where &ldquo;only 12 per cent of the death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus, while 88 per cent of patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity&mdash;many had two or three.&rdquo;</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Strange, too, that in New York State, all the cases deemed to be COVID-19 were elderly patients who were removed from hospitals and dumped in&nbsp;<a href="https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.propublica.org%2Farticle%2Ffire-through-dry-grass-andrew-cuomo-saw-covid-19-threat-to-nursing-homes-then-he-risked-adding-to-it&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C9dc2c71f9ac74e85347f08d840019f8c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637329723006642494&amp;sdata=5CdUkdvJe2SirJl8FBZKM03yOIWOoC6fO3kIIzOtOkw%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);" target="_blank">nursing homes</a>, where neglect and overcrowding and even the emotional toll produced by loneliness and fear resulted in many sickeningly sudden and sad deaths.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">And isn&rsquo;t it especially strange that one of the most obvious outcomes of flattening the curve was the loss of everyone&rsquo;s constitutional, civil, medical, parental, and religious rights? It was as if there had been a plan all along to dispense not only with lives, but also with rights&mdash;including the right to dissent!</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Now here we are, months later, still being bombarded by scary scenarios. Every major news outlet pounds us with fear-mongering predictions of second and third waves. The engineered-to-skyrocket cases of COVID-19 in the US are dominating the headlines. Some state governors and state and county health authorities and privately owned establishments are imposing ever-more-onerous rules regarding face masks and physical distancing&mdash;rules they realize would never pass the legal smell test in normal times, much less in a court of law. Meanwhile, the same dictators are doubling down on their innocent-sounding &ldquo;let&rsquo;s all get tested&rdquo; message.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">As the above five facts have shown, all of these public health measures are based on unsubstantiated science. Moreover, we have not even begun to feel the long-lasting economic effects of the &ldquo;pandemic.&rdquo; In the coming months and years, our national economies will become much more precarious. Is it possible that we already cash-strapped citizens will be ordered to pay back the billions of dollars that have been divvied out to us by our Big Brother governments?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">In some places, lockdowns may be gradually easing. But the relief measures being implemented have not helped the countless mid-sized and small business owners who have, one by one, decided to board their doors and close up shop forever. They are suffering twice-over: they must watch their own families be penalized and at the same time feel guilty for having to bid farewell to their employees, who by the millions are looking for non-existent jobs and standing in long unemployment lines. As layoffs keep mounting, nations are facing a massive fiscal crisis at the very time when their badly needed tax revenues are disappearing. In the near future, national governments will be forced to hand over entire sectors of the economy to their creditors, such as Goldman Sachs and BlackRock. In the end, private financial oligarchies will literally own the US and other nations, further eviscerating the concept of national sovereignty.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">So, why are we being forced to travel down this rocky road? One possible explanation could be that many governments may consider it political suicide to admit that their approach has been wrong. Thus, instead of immediately correcting their course of action, they are incrementally shifting gears. But could there be something far more sinister at play here? Could this entire &ldquo;pandemic&rdquo; be a gigantic smokescreen designed to conceal the diabolical actions of the globalist technocrats, whose agenda is to literally create, possess, and control a single worldwide economy and a single worldwide government?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">If we follow the money trail, we can determine who some of the possible beneficiaries of such a fiendish agenda could be.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">To begin, let&rsquo;s look at the financial sector. Since the US mortgage and market crash of 2008, none of the mechanisms that allowed the crash to occur have been removed. True, for the past twelve years, the stock market has appeared to recover. In reality, though, the market is the opposite of healthy. It has been surviving mainly on stock buybacks by companies that have been using some of their profits to buy their own stocks in order to prop up prices. This scheme has provided the illusion that the economy is thriving. But the stock market&rsquo;s action is not an absolute indicator of the real economy&rsquo;s production and consumption.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Indeed, by the summer of 2019 it had become evident that not even the stock buyback strategy was going to keep the lumbering economy alive. Thus, as a short-term solution, the New York Federal Reserve last September started injecting billions of dollars into the stock market in the form of short-term loans (repos).&nbsp; While the intent was to keep the stock market chugging along, the effect was more like kicking an empty tin can down the road for as long as possible until finally the road ends. Eventually, a long-term solution would have to be found to reset the entire world economy.

Notice that the spirit speaks to the soul, however, and not to the mind or consciousness of the praying person. This is quite different from hearing &ldquo;voices&rdquo;. This is neither prayer nor worship, and it is not &ldquo;meditation&rdquo;. It is a few moments of quietude to be imposed before&nbsp;<i>quitting</i>! It is to augment the transition into worship&nbsp;<i>over time</i>, so that one who now merely&nbsp;<i>says</i>&nbsp;his prayers will later be able to continue them on into worship, which is the goal. Ideally the transition of the moment is seamless, we simply segue from the one into the other.

Actually all that Jesus is saying is that we should&nbsp;<i>shut up and listen</i>&nbsp;for a moment after praying before returning to our ordinary thoughts and activities. There is no indication whatsoever that we can expect to be, or should become aware of any aspect of this particular transaction between our soul and Thought Adjuster, but as we more and more&nbsp;<i>become</i>&nbsp;our souls, that is, as we personally grow over time to identify ourselves with our higher self, the more we should obviously be able to &ldquo;hear&rdquo;:</span></p><blockquote style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><div style="font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: medium; color: blue;">&ldquo;The material and mortal reality of the self transcend[s] the temporal limitations of the physical-life machine and attain[s] a new expression of a new identification in the evolving vehicle for selfhood continuity, the morontia and immortal soul.&nbsp;<small style="font-size: 16px;"><small style="font-size: 16px;">(1218 D)</small></small></span></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: medium; background-color: rgb(226, 242, 254); color: blue;">This evolution of one&rsquo;s soul/self identification cannot be achieved by any short-cut methods, including thought-stilling techniques!

It appears to be a&nbsp;<i>method</i>&nbsp;of preparing a worshipful attitude of mind over time. This directive was presented in a list of sixteen instructions (beginning on page 1638) concerning -- except for this last point in the list -- prayer. Jesus brought that subject from the sub-level of (1) &ldquo;conscious and persistent regard for iniquity&rdquo;; through (3) &ldquo;opening the God-man communication&rdquo;; to the few moments (&ldquo;a time&rdquo;) of (16) &ldquo;silent receptivity&rdquo;. Then he touches upon the higher level of a beginning understanding of worship, which, unlike prayer, is not described in detail there. We are told that while he did teach more at this point, &ldquo;not many &hellip; could fully encompass his teaching&rdquo;. We should understand that Thought Adjusters at that time had not yet been universally bestowed, so worship -- including understanding of the subject -- might have been particularly difficult for these people, even though they were twenty-four of Jesus&rsquo; closest followers. This event took place, after all, during his&nbsp;<i>first</i>&nbsp;preaching tour of Galilee. Not long before this they were unable to grasp even more than a few of the conceptual differences between prayer and worship which Jesus attempted to teach them&nbsp;<small style="font-size: 16px;"><small style="font-size: 16px;">(ref. 1616 B)</small></small>. It should not be overlooked, either, that although they did have the presence of the physical Jesus, he could not be with them 24 hours a day or in their minds when they prayed, worshipped, or meditated. The Spirit of Truth would not be poured out until after Jesus&rsquo; departure.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(226, 242, 254);"><span style="font-size: medium; color: blue;">For ourselves, if we access this now universally available spirit resource, worship should come much easier -- it is obviously a stage or ability which must be attained before &ldquo;worshipful meditation&rdquo;, or Jesus-style meditation can take place. But stilling one&rsquo;s thoughts is hardly the way to open the door to the &ldquo;realm of the highest and most spiritualized&nbsp;<i>thinking</i>&rdquo;.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(226, 242, 254);">&nbsp;</p><table border="2" cellpadding="3" frame="box" rules="none" style="margin: auto; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: aqua;" width="75%">

My guess is that supernals used something way beyond our possibly ahead-of-the-state-of-the-art, materialistic, secret technology to employ the sleeper&rsquo;s mind like a word processor, in which he pictured the text in his own default font: pencil handwriting.

And that even aside from being unconscious during the actual process, at other moments the contact personality was &ldquo;consciously quite unconcerned about the entire procedure&rdquo; and exhibited a &ldquo;passive reaction to, and inactive concern towards, the phenomena associated with the presence in his mind&rdquo; of his especially versatile Adjuster. This is described as a &ldquo;<b>rare</b>&rdquo; and &ldquo;fortuitous&rdquo; reaction, which was highly favorable to the individual from the standpoint of &ldquo;health, efficiency, and tranquility&rdquo;&nbsp;<small style="font-size: 16px;"><small style="font-size: 16px;">(ref. 1209 A)</small></small>.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(226, 242, 254);"><span style="font-size: medium; color: blue;">Notice that it was his&nbsp;<i>attitude</i>&nbsp;which was favorable, not the&nbsp;<i>experience</i>&nbsp;of transmission, and that the information received by the channelling-like activities were superseded by&nbsp;<b>materialized</b>&nbsp;Papers -- hard copies in black and white -- which being thus received contained less mentally-imparted distortions than those which probably (if they impinged upon and thus been tinged by his imagination or dreams) would have colored the earlier product of channelling-like activities utilizing the sleeping contact personality&rsquo;s vocal apparatus (see 1208 A) unless they were using him like a hand puppet and bypassing his mind completely. But if they were doing that, why was his extremely versatile Thought Adjuster needed: just to stand aside while he was &ldquo;possessed&rdquo;? Even then, such &ldquo;possessions&rdquo; are not likely to be complete and total. Personality&nbsp;<i>distortions</i>&nbsp;would still seep through. Obviously the room for such distortions is much greater in cases where the channeller is just trying to keep up with some sort of inner, vaguely heard &ldquo;dictation&rdquo;.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(226, 242, 254);"><span style="font-size: medium; color: blue;">It should also not be ignored that Dr. Sadler used every art and artifice at his command to &ldquo;debunk&rdquo; the channelling-like activities as well as the materialized Papers and &ldquo;instructions&rdquo; or &ldquo;mandates&rdquo;, which were also received. He made sure that no&nbsp;<i>known</i>&nbsp;means of trickery was involved. Such safeguards have been entirely lacking in regards to the Teaching Mission (TeaM) and other purported communications, such as those of Emma &ldquo;Christy&rdquo; Christensen after the middle 1950s when the &ldquo;you are on your own&rdquo; message was received -- thus ending direct supernal contact and supervision -- and of Vern Grimsley in the early 1980s immediately following Christy&rsquo;s death. In all of these cases there has been no objective look at the possibility of technological or other trickery, or -- as in the case of Vern Grimsley -- more than a superficial look at psychological explanations &hellip; at least none by the actual participants or their supporters, who all, decidedly&nbsp;<i>unlike</i>&nbsp;Sadler, seem to take everything at face value!</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(226, 242, 254);"><span style="font-size: medium; color: blue;">Again, we need to ask why exactly those phenomena which passive-intellect meditation induces would be precisely those which we are told that Jesus-style meditation does NOT include: &ldquo;leadings, voices, [and] visions&rdquo;&nbsp;<small style="font-size: 16px;"><small style="font-size: 16px;">(2089 B)</small></small>? and&nbsp;<i>&quot;feelings or emotions&rdquo;</i>, which do NOT lead us Godward, according to&nbsp;<i>The URANTIA Book</i>.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(226, 242, 254);"><span style="font-size: medium; color: blue;">While the practice of passive-intellect meditation was little-known in America at the time the Papers were indited into English, it was not&nbsp;<i>unknown</i>; and it had been prevalent in India and elsewhere for at least hundreds of years. This was not some new concept for which the world was in no way ready, which needed to be later revealed by way of auto-(or continuing) revelation. Why would there be only such a meager indication that it was so if Jesus&rsquo; instruction for a quiet, receptive pause at the completion of prayer were indeed a reference to thought-stilling meditative practices? We are told that the revelators used:</span></p><blockquote style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><div style="font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: medium; color: blue;">&ldquo;more than one thousand human concepts representing the highest and most advanced planetary knowledge of spiritual values and meanings &hellip; assembled from God-knowing mortals of the past and present&rdquo;&nbsp;<small style="font-size: 16px;"><small style="font-size: 16px;">(17 A)</small></small>.</span></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: medium; background-color: rgb(226, 242, 254); color: blue;">Why -- if it is as important as some claim -- was such a purportedly valuable process excluded except, perhaps, for hints in a revelation which makes so many things so plain and which repeats key concepts almost&nbsp;<i>ad infinitum</i>? Even this confusion about the definition of &ldquo;meditation&rdquo; would not exist if the context of the book were observed. It explains it all very well, indeed! The problem arises only because the meaning of the word itself changed, causing people to encounter the word with a wrong idea about it already fixed in their minds, or as a result of being directed to the word by channelled purported spirits as &ldquo;proof&rdquo; that&nbsp;<i>meditation</i>&nbsp;is considered important by the supernal revelators, in an attempt to justify stilled-mind practices! Since there are rewards from (therefore reinforcing) semi-trance states (see below), simple classical conditioning makes the practice difficult to give up once started. And&nbsp;<i>The URANTIA Book</i>&nbsp;teaches that &ldquo;it requires a great and noble character, having started out wrong, to turn about and go right. All too often one&rsquo;s own mind tends to justify continuance in the path of error when once it is entered upon&rdquo;&nbsp;<small style="font-size: 16px;"><small style="font-size: 16px;">(1981 D)</small></small>.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(226, 242, 254);">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(226, 242, 254);"><span style="font-size: medium; color: blue;">If, in fact as we are informed, the supernal revelators were mandated by their superiors to utilize existing expressions&nbsp;<i>even where these more or less distorted the truth which they represented</i>&nbsp;<small style="font-size: 16px;"><small style="font-size: 16px;">(ref. 1 C)</small></small>&nbsp;-- almost the very first words in&nbsp;<i>The URANTIA Book</i>&nbsp;-- what possible reason could have caused the revelators to give such short shrift -- hardly more than a passing honorable mention, if even that -- to further elucidation of the Eastern religion&rsquo;s method of passive-mind meditation? If that was what the Master had in mind? Rather, isn&rsquo;t the truth contained in this idea: Jesus spent the &ldquo;long hours of that night of meditation&rdquo; &ldquo;thinking, thinking&rdquo;? Not zoned-out in a semi-trance state listening to &ldquo;voices&rdquo; and&nbsp;<i>feeling</i>&nbsp;&ldquo;love&rdquo;? Not only are we warned against such purportedly &ldquo;religious&rdquo; experiences, and told that they were not part of Jesus&rsquo; religion, but now more and more they are being proved to be productions of the electro/chemical anatomical apparatuses in the brain -- meat-reactions of the brain, predictably evocable by&nbsp;<a href="denied:file:///C:/Users/PaulK/Documents/My%20Web%20Sites/mysite/Machiventaor/KingdomWithin/uragate/god-mode.php" style="font-size: 16px;" target="_new" title="scientific  tweaking">scientific tweaking</a>!</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(226, 242, 254);"><span style="font-size: medium; color: blue;">The subjective feeling of &ldquo;awareness&rdquo; or&nbsp;<i>lack-of-trance</i>&nbsp;in such states can be deceptive as well. Hypnotists report that subjects whom objective measurements assure them have been put into in trances often afterwards refuse to believe it, even though the subjects also followed the hypnotist&rsquo;s &ldquo;suggestions&rdquo; while apparently -- as also assessed by the experienced hypnotists --&nbsp;<i>hypnotized</i>. The problem is that the trance state is not necessarily easily discernable from within. And to compound the problem of subjective recognition it is merely&nbsp;<i>semi-</i>trance states which&nbsp;<i>The URANTIA Book</i>&nbsp;warns can be spiritually dangerous. These are more than likely even less discernable than full, hypnotic trances! But we know when our mind is &ldquo;comparatively passive&rdquo;, and when our awareness is focused only upon &ldquo;vivid islands&rdquo; and not our wider consciousness. Outwardly this condition may only be signaled by widely dilated pupils, which apparently are known to accompany elevated alpha wave levels. It has been discovered that the more these states are entered into, the longer they will persist, carrying over beyond the period of meditation, even into day to day activities.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(226, 242, 254);"><span style="font-size: medium; color: blue;">Elevated alpha levels also indicate that the mind is highly suggestible and lacking in abilities of discernment and cognition (you naturally experience this state just before falling asleep -- which fact in itself is evidence that the alpha-state is closer to the subconscious, dream-state, than to the superconscious &ldquo;mountaintop of intellectual activity&rdquo; which is the area of immediate contact with the indwelling, spirit God-fragment within us). We are quite likely soon to be overwhelmed with new knowledge in this area when more results of the ongoing international, cross-discipline&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nimh.nih.gov/neuroinformatics/index.cfm" style="font-size: 16px;" target="_new" title="mapping study  of the brain">mapping study of the brain</a>&nbsp;are brought to public awareness.<a id="lacking" name="lacking" style="font-size: 16px;" title="Stilled Mind Meditation Is Lacking"></a></span></p><h3 style="font-style: normal; background-color: rgb(226, 242, 254);"><span style="font-size: medium; color: blue;"><a name="lacking" style="font-size: 16px;" title="Stilled Mind Meditation Is Lacking">Stilled Mind Meditation Is Lacking</a></span></h3><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(226, 242, 254);">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(226, 242, 254);"><span style="font-size: medium; color: blue;">This is not to say that Eastern-style, so-called, &ldquo;meditation&rdquo; has to be considered harmful in and of itself.

Man&rsquo;s greatest adventure in the flesh consists in the well balanced and sane effort to advance the borders of self-consciousness out through the dim realms of embryonic soul-consciousness in a wholehearted effort to reach the borderland of spirit-consciousness -- contact with the divine presence&rdquo; <small><small>(2097 A)</small></small> &hellip; </span></div></blockquote><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&hellip; almost the last words in <i>The URANTIA Book</i>. <a id="list" name="list" title="list"></a> However while pursuing this goal which they call the &ldquo;great challenge to modern man&rdquo;, they also warn us to keep in mind that: </span></p><blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ol>
	<li><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;It is <b>dangerous</b> to entertain the idea that every new concept originating in the human mind is the dictation of the Adjuster. More often in beings of your order, that which you accept as the Adjuster&rsquo;s voice [or the voice of a spirit entity] is in reality the emanation of your own intellect. This is <b>dangerous ground</b> &hellip; &rdquo; <small><small>(1208 D)</small></small> </span>

	<p>&nbsp;</p>

	<p>&nbsp;</p>
	</li>
	<li><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;It is <b>hazardous</b> to attempt the differentiation of the Adjuster&rsquo;s concept registry from the more or less continuous and conscious reception of the dictation of mortal conscience.&rdquo; <small><small>(1208 C)</small></small> </span>
	<p>&nbsp;</p>

	<p>&nbsp;</p>
	</li>
	<li><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;It is <b>extremely dangerous</b> to postulate as to the Adjuster content of the dream life.&rdquo; <small><small>(1208 C)</small></small> </span>
	<p>&nbsp;</p>

	<p>&nbsp;</p>
	</li>
	<li><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;The <b>great danger</b> &hellip; is that visions and other so-called mystic experiences [e.g., &ldquo;leadings&rdquo;, &ldquo;visions&rdquo;, &ldquo;voices&rdquo;, and other &ldquo;abnormal mental manifestations&rdquo;], along with extraordinary dreams may be regarded as divine communications to the human mind.&rdquo; <small><small>(1099 C)</small></small> </span>
	<p>&nbsp;</p>

	<p>&nbsp;</p>
	</li>
	<li><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;There is a <b>great danger</b> associated with the habitual practice of religious daydreaming; mysticism may become a technique of reality avoidance &hellip; &rdquo; <small><small>(1099 D)</small></small> </span>
	<p>&nbsp;</p>

	<p>&nbsp;</p>
	</li>
	<li><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">[And also:] &ldquo;There is <b>a certain danger</b> associated with overmuch private <i>praying</i> which is corrected and prevented by group praying, community devotions. [Because] when prayer becomes overmuch aesthetic, when it consists almost exclusively in beautiful and blissful contemplation of paradisiacal divinity, it loses much of its socializing influence and tends towards mysticism and the isolation of its devotees.&rdquo; <small><small>(1001 A)</small></small> </span></li>
</ol></blockquote><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;"><i>The URANTIA Book</i> also teaches that: </span></p><blockquote><ul>
	<li><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;It is sometimes possible to have your mind illuminated, to hear the divine voice that continually speaks within you &hellip; But your unsteady and rapidly shifting mental attitudes often result in thwarting the plans and interrupting the work of the Adjusters &hellip; this ministry is also greatly retarded by your own preconceived opinions, settled ideas, and long-standing prejudices.&rdquo; <small><small>(1199 C)</small></small> </span>

	<p>&nbsp;</p>

	<p>&nbsp;</p>
	</li>
	<li><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;In varying degrees and increasingly as you ascend the psychic circles <small><small>(ref. 1209 B)</small></small>, sometime directly, but more often indirectly, you do communicate with your Adjusters.&rdquo; <small><small>(1208 D)</small></small> </span>
	<p>&nbsp;</p>

	<p>&nbsp;</p>
	</li>
	<li><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;While the voice of the Adjuster is ever within you, most of you will hear it seldom during a lifetime. Human beings below the third and second [psychic] circles of attainment rarely hear the Adjuster&rsquo;s direct voice except in moments of supreme desire, in a supreme situation, and consequent upon a supreme decision.&rdquo; <small><small>(1213 C)</small></small> </span>
	<p>&nbsp;</p>

	<p>&nbsp;</p>
	</li>
	<li><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;With the vast majority of Urantians (earth-mortals) the Adjuster must patiently await the arrival of death deliverance: must await the liberation of the emerging soul from the well-neigh complete domination of the energy patterns and chemical forces inherent in your material order of existence. <b>The chief difficulty you experience in contacting with your Adjusters consists in this very inherent mortal nature. So few mortals are real thinkers; you do not spiritually develop and discipline your minds to the point of favorable liaison with the divine Adjusters.&rdquo;</b> <small><small>(1213 A)</small></small> </span>
	<p>&nbsp;</p>

	<p>&nbsp;</p>
	</li>
	<li><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;You are so devoid of courageous decisions and consecrated co-operation that your indwelling Adjusters find it next to impossible to communicate directly to the human mind. Even when they do find it possible to flash a gleam of new truth to the evolving mortal soul, this spiritual revelation often so blinds the creature as to precipitate a convulsion of fanaticism or to initiate some other intellectual upheaval which results disastrously. Many a new religion and strange &ldquo;ism&rdquo; has arisen from the aborted, imperfect, misunderstood, and garbled communication of the Thought Adjusters.&rdquo; <small><small>(1207 C)</small></small> </span></li>
</ul></blockquote><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">With all these leadings, voices, misunderstood and garbled communications, dreams, and dangers, what are we to do? <i>The URANTIA Book</i> provides the answer: </span></p><blockquote><div><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;"><b>&ldquo;In scrutinizing mental situations, safety lies <i>only</i> in the prompt recognition of each and every thought and experience for just what it actually and fundamentally is, disregarding what it might have been.&rdquo;</b> <small><small>(1199 C)</small></small> </span></div></blockquote><table border="2" cellpadding="4" frame="box" rules="none" style="margin: auto; background-color: aqua;">

New York)</small></small> </span></div></blockquote><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">Many benefits attributed to TM, however, are also said to be attainable from prayer and worship, or Jesus-style meditation. Rodan explained how we absorb energy during spiritual communion. He also said that: </span></p><blockquote><div><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;on every mountaintop of <b>intellectual thought</b> are to be found relaxation for the mind, strength for the soul, and communion for the spirit. From such vantage points of high living, man is able to transcend the material irritations of lower levels of thinking -- worry, jealousy, envy, revenge, and the pride of immature personality. These high-climbing souls deliver themselves from a multitude of crosscurrent conflicts of the trifles of living, thus becoming free to attain the consciousness of the higher currents of spirit concept and celestial communication. But the life purpose must be jealously <b>guarded from the temptation to seek for easy and transient attainment</b> &hellip; &rdquo; <small><small>(1778 B)</small></small> </span></div></blockquote><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">Jesus (in modern terms supplied by midwayers) compared prayer to &ldquo;recharging the spiritual batteries of the soul&rdquo;, and worship to &ldquo;tuning in the soul to catch the universe broadcast of the infinite spirit of the Universal Father&rdquo; <small><small>(1621 C)</small></small>. It provided &ldquo;true and ideal soul rest&rdquo;, he maintained, and that &ldquo;the strain [stress] of living should be relaxed by the restfulness of worship&rdquo; <small><small>(1616 B)</small></small>. &ldquo;Kingdom &hellip; believers,&rdquo; he said: </span></p><blockquote><div><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;must increasingly learn how to step aside from the rush of life -- escape the harassments of material existence -- while they refresh the soul, inspire the mind, and renew the spirit by worshipful communion&rdquo; <small><small>(1739 D)</small></small>. </span></div></blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">Notice that &ldquo;worshipful meditation&rdquo;, as taught and practiced by Jesus, provides something that TM does not claim: it <b>benefits the soul</b>! Jesus-style meditation improves the <i>whole</i> personality, rather than just being limited to its corporal/mental <i>parts</i>. This is NOT to say that proponents of non-TM brands of passive-mind meditation do not, unlike the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, claim spiritual benefits as well -- many do. The question is whether we should believe them or <i>The URANTIA Book</i>! </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><table border="2" cellpadding="4" frame="box" rules="none" style="margin: auto; background-color: aqua;">

<p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;"><i>The URANTIA Book</i> uses the word &ldquo;meditation&rdquo; in it a number of times. And Jesus speaks of &ldquo;the value of meditation&rdquo; <small><small>(2047 D)</small></small>. There is, however, much confusion today as to the exact meaning of the word. Not only that, but it appears that <i>The URANTIA Book</i> actually warns against the practice of a form of &ldquo;meditation&rdquo; which is not only prevalent today, but which after the book was written and published became the word&rsquo;s whole definition in may peoples&rsquo; minds. In other words, Jesus seems to be advocating what <i>The URANTIA Book</i> specifically warns against. <a id="word" name="word" title="Word Has Changed In Meaning"> </a></span></p><h3><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;"><a name="word" title="Word Has Changed In Meaning">The Word Has Changed In Meaning</a></span></h3>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">All <i>URANTIA Book</i> readers should understand that in 1934-1935, when the Papers which became <i>The URANTIA Book</i> were supernally indited into a &ldquo;circumscribed language of the realm&rdquo; (English) the word &ldquo;meditation&rdquo; did not mean what we now recognize as Eastern Religion-style, thought-stilling, inward-looking, so-called &ldquo;meditation&rdquo;! That idea had not yet found an enduring terminology in English, although &ldquo;contemplation&rdquo; was sometimes used (as in &ldquo;contemplating&rdquo; one&rsquo;s navel, which practice <i>The URANTIA Book</i> links to self-hypnosis <small><small>(ref. 987 B)</small></small>). The concept was still pretty much confined to India and the East. It was only after the book had been published for at least a decade that the new meaning took over the word and left its previous definition behind. At that time various celebrities and others had began to popularize mind-stilling practices of &ldquo;meditation&rdquo;, and it was this use of the word which caught on. </span></p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">The 1936 edition of the two-volume <i>Webster&rsquo;s Universal Dictionary of the English Language</i> defines the word &ldquo;meditation&rdquo; as: </span></p><table style="text-align: left;" width="110">

The thoughts are just directed Godward until -- sooner or later -- God takes over the direction, both &ldquo;adjusting&rdquo; and &ldquo;controlling&rdquo; them. </span></p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;"><i>The URANTIA Book</i> says that &ldquo;one should postulate a &hellip; realm of ascending intellectual activity as the superconscious level, the zone of immediate contact with the indwelling entity [of God], the Thought Adjuster.&rdquo; <small><small>(1099 C)</small></small> </span></p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">It is this <i>active</i>-mind form of meditation which Jesus says has &ldquo;value&rdquo;, which the philosopher, Rodan, learned from Jesus, and says that Jesus &ldquo;constantly practiced&rdquo; and &ldquo;faithfully taught&rdquo;. Rodan calls it &ldquo;worshipful meditation&rdquo; (wherein Jesus went &ldquo;off so frequently by himself to commune with the Father in heaven&rdquo;), and he claimed that it is a technique for &ldquo;gathering strength and wisdom for the ordinary conflicts of living, [and] also appropriating the energy for the solution of higher problems of a moral and spiritual nature&rdquo; <small><small>(1774 A-B)</small></small>, which he said is to be found on &ldquo;every mountaintop of intellectual thought&rdquo;, where &ldquo;the very best that is resident in man&rsquo;s nature&rdquo; is called forth. <small><small>(1778 B)</small></small> </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><table border="2" frame="box" style="margin: auto; background-color: aqua;" width="300">

<p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">When <i>The URANTIA Book</i> says: &ldquo;One of the great troubles with modern life is that man thinks he is too busy to find time for spiritual meditation and religious devotion&rdquo; <small><small>(2077 B)</small></small> , it is NOT referring to isolating, inward-viewing, thought-silencing, so-called meditative practices, but simply and sincerely <i>talking things over with God!</i> For it also says: </span></p></div></blockquote><blockquote><div><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;The chief difficulty you experience in contacting with your Adjusters consists in this very inherent material nature. So few mortals are real thinkers; <small><small>(1313 A)</small></small>. </span></div></blockquote><blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">The &ldquo;worship&rdquo; part of &ldquo;worshipful meditation&rdquo;, the term by which Rodan refers to Jesus-style meditation, is one of three levels of cosmic mind insight which are &ldquo;constructive in the self-consciousness of reflective <i>thinking</i>&rdquo; (my emphasis). <i>The URANTIA Book</i> laments that &ldquo;it is sad to record that so few persons on Urantia (earth) take delight in cultivating these qualities of courageous and independent cosmic thinking.&rdquo; <small><small>(192 B)</small></small> </span></p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">Look, if you will, with me at the deeper meaning of the following sentence: &ldquo;Man can never wisely decide temporal issues or transcend the selfishness of personal interests unless he meditates in the presence of the sovereignty of God and reckons with the realities of divine meanings and spiritual values&rdquo; <small><small>(1093 A)</small></small>. Nearly every important term in this sentence indicates ACTIVE thinking or expression: &ldquo;wisely decide&rdquo;, &ldquo;reckons with&rdquo;, &ldquo;divine meanings&rdquo;. These activities cannot be performed with thought-stilling techniques! </span></p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">We are taught that the &ldquo;more healthful attitude of spiritual meditation is to be found in reflective worship and the prayer of thanksgiving&rdquo; <small><small>(1100 A)</small></small>. What are we being told here? Meditation is similar to, or included in, &ldquo;reflective worship&rdquo; and the &ldquo;prayer of thanksgiving&rdquo;. Here the idea of reflection is used in its ordinary sense, and hardly refers to &ldquo;universe reflectivity&rdquo; (the &ldquo;unique and inexplicable power to see, hear, sense, and know all things&rdquo;) which mortals cannot experience on their own <small><small>(refs. 105 A and 202 C)</small></small>. </span></p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">The 1936 dictionary defines this use of the word &ldquo;reflect&rdquo; as: </span></p><blockquote><div>
<p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;3. To turn or throw back the thoughts upon anything; to revolve matters in the mind; to think seriously; to ponder; to meditate, especially with regard to conduct. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;4. To pay attention to what passes in the mind; to attend to the facts or phenomena of consciousness&rdquo;. </span></p></div></blockquote><div>
<p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">Its synomyms are &ldquo;consider&rdquo;, &ldquo;contemplate&rdquo;, &ldquo;ponder&rdquo;. Definitions 1 and 2 (not given here) refer to non-mental types of reflection (as of light by mirrors, etc.). </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">At the same time that we worship and pray, we must pay attention to what is happening in our minds. In all likelihood the level of our understanding will be upstepped during this process, and we become &ldquo;inspired&rdquo; with the new, or higher spiritual concepts which we have &ldquo;discovered&rdquo;. </span></p><blockquote><div><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;All such inner and spiritual communion is termed spiritual insight. Such religious experiences result from the impress made upon the mind of man by the combined operations of the Adjuster and the Spirit of Truth as they function amid and upon the ideas, insights, and spirit strivings of evolving sons of God.&rdquo;<small><small>(1105 A)</small></small> </span></div></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">What we must understand about worship, which <i>The URANTIA Book</i> by the way, refers in one place to as &ldquo;superthinking&rdquo;, is that we only <i>assent</i> to worship, and that it is actually &ldquo;conducted&rdquo; by our Thought Adjuster on our behalf. Therefore if we are to derive the highest benefits from this transaction we need to pay attention to what is going on! Jesus taught that we &ldquo;worship God by the aid of the Father&rsquo;s indwelling spirit and by the illumination of the human mind through the ministry of truth&rdquo; <small><small>(1641 A)</small></small>. What is important about this is that we &ldquo;are quite incapable of distinguishing the product of [our] own material intellect from that of the conjoint activities of [our] soul and the Adjuster <small><small>(1207 A)</small></small>. That is, during worship the thoughts we perceive seem just like our own but they are being &ldquo;conducted&rdquo; by our Adjuster and they are the &ldquo;illuminations&rdquo; of the Spirit of Truth. </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><table border="2" cellpadding="3" frame="box" style="margin: auto; background-color: aqua;">

			<td align="center"><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large; color: blue; font-size: large;">&ldquo;Why not allow the Adjuster to spiritualize your thinking?&rdquo; </span></span></td>

<p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;"> </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">And that is why we need to be reflective, to be conscious of what is going on in our minds, and to seriously ponder what we learn by observing what appears to be our own thinking -- in fact, we cannot tell them apart. The Thought Adjusters interface with our highest thinking. This same phenomenon takes place when one writes about spiritual values as a service to one&rsquo;s fellows. It is also reported to take place during the preaching of extemporaneous sermons. Writing and speaking, after all, are not much more than projections of our inner reality. And we can hardly serve our spiritual siblings if our truth is not made outwardly manifest in the material world. Jesus taught that when his followers would be brought before judges that the &ldquo;spirit will teach you in that very hour what you should say to your adversaries&rdquo; <small><small>(1912 D)</small></small>. The phenomenon is hardly to be limited to court cases, but includes all forms of &ldquo;witnessing&rdquo; or verbal/written service of the communication of truth to ourselves and to our siblings in God&rsquo;s family: </span></p><blockquote><div><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;The contact of the mortal mind with its indwelling Adjuster, while often favored by devoted meditation [note: 1934-35 definition applies], is more frequently facilitated by wholehearted and loving service in unselfish ministry to one&rsquo;s fellow creatures.&rdquo; <small><small>(1000 B)</small></small>. </span></div></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;"> </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">Religious ecstasy, of the type said to be produced by thought-stilling techniques, may indeed be permissible when it results from sane antecedents <small><small>(ref. 1000 C)</small></small>, but notice that although &ldquo;the god-knowing believer increasingly experiences the ecstasy and grandeur of spiritual socialization on a universal scale&rdquo; <small><small>(1985 B)</small></small>, that Jesus, who represented the perfect human <small><small>(ref. 1103 C and 1511 B)</small></small>, only had &ldquo;<b>rare moments</b> of emotional ecstasy&rdquo; <small><small>(1807 B)</small></small>. Likewise notice that true prophetic visions are definitely and specifically NOT &ldquo;trancelike ecstasies&rdquo;. <small><small>(1000 C)</small></small> <a id="words" name="words" title="Words"> </a></span></p><h3><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;"><a name="words" title="Words">Words</a></span></h3>
<p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;"> </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">Also, although <i>The URANTIA Book</i> teaches that words themselves are not always necessary to prayer, which <i>The URANTIA Book</i>, by the way, terms &ldquo;sublime <i>thinking</i>&rdquo;, it is nevertheless almost inconceivable that words may be dispensed with in the case of prayers of thanksgiving! Sometimes prayers are little more than heartfelt groans. But how do we <i>thank</i> God for what we have received without words? And how can we reflect or ponder without words? <i>The URANTIA Book</i> says that &ldquo;words are irrelevant to prayer&rdquo;. But it also adds that &ldquo;they are merely the intellectual channel in which the river of spiritual supplication may chance to flow.&rdquo; And it explains that &ldquo;God answers the soul&rsquo;s attitude, not the words&rdquo; <small><small>(1002 B)</small></small>. We can gain more insight into the meaning of that statement where we are told in the first part of <i>The URANTIA Book</i> that &ldquo;it is the motivating thought, the spiritual content, that validates [prayer]. Words are valueless&rdquo; <small><small>(85 A)</small></small>. </span></p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">This does not mean that words, or other mental/aural symbols of thought content, can be dispensed with by quieting the mind artificially any more than a riverbank may be demolished and the river expected to flow. What is being said about the lack of value of words is possibly better expressed in Jesus&rsquo; instruction that prayers are not &ldquo;rendered more efficacious by ornate repetitions [or] eloquent phraseology&rdquo; <small><small>(1640 C)</small></small>. The way this inner communication works seems to be that &ldquo;if anything originates in your consciousness that is fraught with supreme spiritual value, when you give expression to it, no power in the universe can prevent its flashing directly to the Absolute Spirit Personality of all creation.&rdquo; But &ldquo;the content of any petition which is not &rsquo;spirit indited&rsquo; can find no place in the universal spiritual circuitry&rdquo; <small><small>(84 D)</small></small>. That is, it is the content that matters, but nevertheless it must be &ldquo;expressed&rdquo;, that is, put into words, thoughts. The specific words one uses to do this are not at all important in themselves. Obviously there is no need for words to be spoken out loud in personal prayer or worship. </span></p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">Again, we are taught that &ldquo;the word value of a prayer is purely autosuggestive in private devotions&rdquo; <small><small>(1002 B)</small></small>. That is, we <i>learn</i> from our prayer and worship. The spirit indites concepts &ldquo;fraught with supreme spiritual value&rdquo; in our consciousness and within our minds we <i>hear</i> the words which comprise them as our own &ldquo;thinking&rdquo;. These words are not &ldquo;important&rdquo; <i>per se</i> in that they only serve to communicate those values to ourselves, not to God. But as we express them, their content flashes directly to the Paradise Father. </span></p><table border="0" cellpadding="0" frame="void" rules="none" style="text-align: right;" width="200">

<p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;"> Those who appeal to other than <i>intellectual</i> experience of divine contact as evidence thereof are in direct conflict with this teaching. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">It is true that some people (Albert Einstein was said to be one) apparently do not have their thoughts in words but in complete concepts. But this abnormality might only be suited to tightly-woven abstract logical systems such as mathematics. Nevertheless this is still indicative of intense intellectual activity in which mental quietude plays no substantial part. </span></p><h3><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;">&ldquo;Worshipful Meditation vs. Thought-Stilling Techniques&rdquo; (Continued:) </span></h3><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/blog/view/31913/meditation-according-the-the-5th-epochal-revelation-by-peter-holly-part-2" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="24" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/7189/master/" width="101"></a></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium; color: blue; font-size: medium;"><img alt="" height="50" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-04-Gold-600px.png" width="600"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="111" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></p><div style="text-align: center;"><h1>&nbsp;</h1></div></div></blockquote>]]></description>

They may be called Deep State, or simply the Beast, or anything else obscure or untraceable &ndash; it doesn&rsquo;t matter. They are less than the 0.0001%.</em></p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;"><i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">These obscure individuals who pretend running our world have never been elected</i>. We don&rsquo;t need to name them. You will figure out who they are, and why they are famous, and some of them totally invisible. They have created structures, or organisms without any legal format. They are fully out of international legality. They are a forefront for the Beast. Maybe there are several competing Beasts. But they have the same objective: A New or One World Order (NWO, or OWO).</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">These obscure individuals are running, for example,&nbsp;<span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: inherit;">The World Economic Forum</span>&nbsp;(WEF &ndash; representing Big Industry, Big Finance and Big Fame), the Group of 7 &ndash; G7,<img alt="" height="127" src="https://www.globalresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/wef.jpg" style="margin-left: 5px; font-size: inherit; float: right;" width="242">&nbsp;the Group of 20 &ndash; G20 (the leaders of the economically&rdquo; strongest&rdquo; nations). There are also some lesser entities, called the Bilderberg Society, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Chatham House and more.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">The members of all of them are overlapping. Even this expanded forefront combined represents less than 0.001%. They all have superimposed themselves over sovereign national elected and constitutional governments, and over&nbsp;<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">THE</i>&nbsp;multinational world body, the United Nations, the UN.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">In fact, they have coopted the UN to do their bidding. UN Director Generals, as well as the DGs of the multiple UN-suborganizations, are chosen &nbsp;mostly by the US, with the consenting nod of their European vassals &ndash; according to the candidate&rsquo;s political and psychological profile. If his or her &lsquo;performance&rsquo; as head of the UN or head of one of the UN suborganizations fails, his or her days are counted. Coopted or created by the Beast(s) are also, the European Union, the Bretton Woods Organizations, World Bank and IMF, as well as the World Trade Organization (WTO) &ndash; and &ndash; make no mistake &ndash; the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. It has no teeth. Just to make sure the law is always on the side of the lawless.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;"><a href="https://www.globalresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/IMF.jpg" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);"><img alt="" height="127" src="https://www.globalresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/IMF.jpg" style="margin-right: 5px; font-size: inherit; float: left;" width="203"></a>In addition to the key international financial institutions, WB and IMF, there are the so-called regional development banks and similar financial institutions, keeping the countries of their respective regions in check.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">In the end its financial or debt-economy that controls everything. Western neoliberal banditry has created a system, where political disobedience can be punished by economic oppression or outright theft of national assets in international territories. The system&rsquo;s common denominator is the (still) omnipresent US-dollar.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: inherit;">&ldquo;Unelected Individuals&rdquo;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">The supremacy of these obscure unelected individuals becomes ever more exposed. We, the People consider it &ldquo;normal&rdquo; that they call the shots, not what we call &ndash; or once were proud of calling, our sovereign nations and sovereignly elected governments. They have become a herd of obedient sheep. The Beast has gradually and quietly taken over. We haven&rsquo;t noticed. It&rsquo;s the salami tactic: You cut off slice by tiny slice and when the salami is gone, you realize that you have nothing left, that your freedom, your civil and human rights are gone. By then it&rsquo;s too late. Case in point is the US Patriot Act. It was prepared way before 9/11. Once 9/11 &ldquo;happened&rdquo;, the Patriot Legislation was whizzed through Congress in no time &ndash; for the people&rsquo;s future protection &ndash; people called for it for fear &ndash; and &ndash; bingo, the Patriot Act took about 90% of the American population&rsquo;s freedom and civil rights away. For good.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">We have become enslaved to the Beast. The Beast calls the shots on boom or bust of our economies, on who should be shackled by debt, when and where a pandemic should break out, and on the conditions of surviving the pandemic, for example, social confinement. And to top it all off &ndash; the instruments the Beast uses, very cleverly, are a tiny-tiny invisible enemy, called a virus, and a huge but also invisible monster, called FEAR. That keeps us off the street, off reunions with our friends, and off our social entertainment, theatre, sports, or a picnic in the park.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Soon the Beast will decide who will live and who will die, literally &ndash; if we let it. This may be not far away. Another wave of pandemic and people may beg, yell and scream for a vaccine, for their death knell, and for the super bonanza of&nbsp;<span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: inherit;">Big Pharma</span>&nbsp;&ndash; and towards the objectives of the eugenicists blatantly roaming the world &ndash; see&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/bill_gates_innovating_to_zero?language=en#t-11976" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);">this</a>. There is still time to collectively say NO. Collectively and solidarily.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Take the latest case of blatant imposture. Conveniently, after the first wave of Covid-19 had passed, at least in the Global North, where the major world decisions are made, in early June 2020, the&nbsp;<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">unelected WEF Chairman,&nbsp;<span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: inherit;">Klaus Schwab</span></i>, announced &ldquo;The Great Reset&rdquo;. Taking advantage of the economic collapse &ndash; the crisis shock, as in &ldquo;The Shock Doctrine&rdquo; &ndash; Mr. Schwab, one of the Beast&rsquo;s frontrunners, announces openly what the WEF will discuss and decide for the world-to-come in their next Davos Forum in January 2021.

Similarly, the implementation of the agenda of The Great Reset began in January 2020, by the launch of the corona pandemic &ndash; planned for decades with the latest visible events being&nbsp;<span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: inherit;">the 2010 Rockefeller Report with its &ldquo;Lockstep Scenario&rdquo;</span>, and Event 201, of 18 October in NYC which computer-simulated a corona pandemic, leaving within 18 months 65 million deaths and an economy in ruin, programmed just a few weeks before the launch of the actual corona pandemic.

Agenda ID2020 will most likely also include &lsquo;programs&rsquo; &ndash; through vaccination? &ndash; of significantly reducing world population. Eugenics is an important component in the control of future world population under a NOW / OWO &ndash; see also&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones#Inscriptions" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);">Georgia Guidestones</a>, mysteriously built in 1980.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">The ruling elite used the lockdown as an instrument to carry out this agenda. Its implementation would naturally face massive protests, organized and funded along the same lines as were the BLM protests and demonstrations. They may not be peaceful &ndash; and may not be planned as being peaceful. Because to control the population in the US and in Europe, where most of the civil unrest would be expected, a total militarization of the people is required. This is well under preparation.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">In his essay&nbsp;<a href="https://www.globalresearch.ca/big-plantation/5716077" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);">&ldquo;The Big Plantation&rdquo;</a>, John Steppling reports from a NYT article that a</p><blockquote style="margin-right: 3em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 3em; padding: 0px; font-weight: 400; font-size: inherit; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">&ldquo;minimum of &nbsp;93,763 machine guns, 180,718 magazine cartridges, hundreds of silencers and an unknown number of grenade launchers have been provided to state and local police departments in the US since 2006. This is in addition to at least 533 planes and helicopters, and 432 MRAPs &mdash; 9-foot high, 30-ton Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected armored vehicles with gun turrets and more than 44,900 pieces of night vision equipment, regularly used in nighttime raids in Afghanistan and Iraq.&rdquo;</p></blockquote><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">He adds that this militarization is part of a broader trend. Since the late 1990s, about 89 percent of police departments in the United States serving populations of 50,000 people or more had a PPU (Police Paramilitary Unit), almost double of what existed in the mid-1980s. He refers to these militarized police as the new Gestapo.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Even before Covid, about 15% to 20% of the population was on or below the poverty line in the United States. The post-covid lockdown economic annihilation will at least double that percentage &ndash; and commensurately increase the risk for civil turbulence and clashes with authorities &ndash; further enhancing the reasoning for a militarized police force.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: inherit;">China&rsquo;s Crypto RMB</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">None of these scenarios will, of course, be presented to the public by the WEF in January 2021. These are decisions taken behind closed doors by the key actors for the Beast. However, this grandiose plan of the&nbsp;<span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: inherit;">Great Reset</span>&nbsp;does not have to happen. There is at least half the world population and some of the most powerful countries, economically and militarily &ndash; like China and Russia &ndash; opposed to it. &ldquo;Reset&rdquo; maybe yes, but not in these western terms. In fact, a reset of kinds is already happening with China about to roll out a new People&rsquo;s Bank of China backed blockchain-based cryptocurrency,<span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: inherit;">&nbsp;the crypto RMB, or yuan</span>. This is not only a hard currency based on a solid economy, it is also supported by gold.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">While President Trump keeps trashing China for unfair trade, for improperly managing the covid pandemic, for stealing property rights &ndash; China bashing no end &ndash; that China depends on the US and that the US will cut trading ties with China &ndash; or cut ties altogether, China is calling Trump&rsquo;s bluff. China is quietly reorienting herself towards the ASEAN countries plus Japan (yes, Japan!) and South Korea, where trade already today accounts for about 15% of all China&rsquo;s trade and is expected to double in the next five years.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Despite the lockdown and the disruption of trade, China&rsquo;s overall exports recovered with a 3.2% increase in April (in relation to April 2019). This overall performance in China exports was nonetheless accompanied by a dramatic decline in US-China trade.<a href="https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-corona-pandemic-and-trumps-trade-war-against-china-americas-dependence-on-made-in-china-potential-disruption-of-the-us-economy/5713552" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);">&nbsp;China exports to the US decreased by 7.9% in April&nbsp;</a>(in relation to April 2019).</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">It is clear that the vast majority of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-corona-pandemic-and-trumps-trade-war-against-china-americas-dependence-on-made-in-china-potential-disruption-of-the-us-economy/5713552" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);">US industries could not survive without Chinese supply chains.</a>&nbsp;The western dependence on Chinese medical supplies is particularly strong. Let alone Chinese dependence by US consumers. In 2019, US total consumption, about 70% of GDP, amounted to $13.3 trillion, of which a fair amount is directly imported from China or dependent on ingredients from China.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;"><a href="https://www.globalresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/dollar.jpg" style="font-size: inherit; color: rgb(59, 77, 129);"><img alt="" height="124" src="https://www.globalresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/dollar.jpg" style="margin-right: 5px; font-size: inherit; float: left;" width="221"></a>The WEF-masters are confronted with a real dilemma. Their plan depends very much on the dollar supremacy which would continue to allow dishing out sanctions and confiscating assets from those countries opposing US rule; a dollar-hegemony which would allow imposing the components of The Great Reset scheme, as described above.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">At present, the dollar is fiat money, debt-money created from thin air. It has no backing whatsoever. Therefore, its worth as a reserve currency is increasingly decaying, especially vis-&agrave;-vis the new crypto-yuan from China. In order to compete with the Chinese yuan, the US Government would have to move away from its monetary Ponzi-scheme, by separating itself from the 1913 Federal Reserve Act and print her own US-economy- and possibly gold-backed (crypto) money &ndash; not fiat FED-money, as is the case today. That would mean cutting the more than 100-year old ties to the Rothschild and Co. clan-owned FED, and creating a real peoples-owned central bank. Not impossible, but highly improbable. Here, two Beasts might clash, as world power is at stake.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Meanwhile, China, with her philosophy of endless creation would continue forging ahead unstoppably with her mammoth socioeconomic development plan of the 21<span style="font-size: 10px;">st</span>&nbsp;Century, the Belt and Road Initiative, connecting and bridging the world with infrastructure for land and maritime transport, with joint research and industrial projects, cultural exchanges &ndash; and not least, multinational trade with &ldquo;win-win&rdquo; characteristics, equality for all partners &ndash; towards a multi-polar world, towards a world with a common future for mankind.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">Today already more than 120 countries are associated with BRI &ndash; and the field is wide open for others to join &ndash; and to defy, unmask and unplug The Great Reset of the West.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit;">*</p><p style="margin-bottom: 14px; font-size: inherit; text-align: left;">Note to readers: please click the share buttons above or below.

My father was the late Ntende Benefansi (retired soldier) who died when I was only 16 years and mother was Namukose Getrude (peasant) who died two years after the death of my father. I am the first born of the four children of my mother although my father had married two wives.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By profession am a primary teacher. My father died in 1986 and the mother died in 1988, my sister. By that time, I had just finished my senior four. The step mother (Namaganda who is still alive) started becoming a problem to us, we were seriously mistreated, she was ever promising to make us follow our mum and yet it is believed that this step mom was behind the death of our mother. We tried to endure but after my young sister surviving poison, we organize to move away and start a new life.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I decided to go and rent a small room where we had to stay. My sisters were in lower classes, I had to put my education on a standstill and start looking for a job in order for life to move on. I landed a job in a few months and started working as a licenced teacher. Later I went to Kyambogo University to professionalise. Nothing was given to us such that life can move on since we were all girls. Life later became so hard, my young sisters later went and married. At the age of 28, I joined the college for a certificate in primary teaching and in that very year I got married and start a family.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In 2010, one of my sisters passed away and the following year my husband also went. I started life again with my four children Nankwaga Hellen, Nabirye Miriam, Wako Derick and Kyakoba Teddy. After I later adopted three children who were suffering when they were still very young. In 2013 I adopted more two to make them five, by that time, I was able to get the little I can to facilitate them. In 2015, more children were identified and joined us, In that very year I registered it as a NGO/CBO Non government Organization / Community Based Organization in the name of Hope Orphans Centre Iganga with 12 children. The members went on increasing and the church joined me and other well wishers to meet the needs of these children who we were keeping in an apartment that we were renting. Later the friends joined us to advise on how we can make this moving on and support to create an ideal life for the children.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In 2017, we went again for renewal of the NGO/CBS registration with 22 children under our care, we also started plans of constructing a permanent home for these children. In 2018, the number of children increased to 28 after a number joining us. We also started getting some funding for the construction of the home, we started by growing some crops which were sold for money to start with. Later that year, we managed to buy one acre of land, construction started immediately. By early 2019, these building we&#39;re ready although not is a very good condition one could expect but at least they had got somewhere to spend night. We started with the big house you usually see with red iron sheets and the other on the other side. In May that very year, the Brown Mission Society blessed us with another piece of land equivalent to half an acre located adjacent the organization.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In early 2020, after making brick, we managed to set up a poultry unit and a kitchen. Currently we are having 38 children under our care with me as the director and Kabweru Kenneth Ivan as the assistant director. Only a few friends have ever got this story from me because I feel sad and shed tears whenever I remember where I came from and what I went through. I know it is very hard but nothing is permanent. Sometimes the Lord knows how to change things. Read Mathew 21:42.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I greatly thank the dear brothers and sisters in Christ who have been moving with us and still there up to now. Really in your presence, I can still stand. At the moment, we managed to get 10 mattress for 38 children although they have even become old meaning many of them are sleeping on local carpets. All children are having the beds but some still lied on the floor due to the lack of proper beds. My birthday is coming 12 days from today on 23rd of this month. I am still looking for friends, organizations, churches and private individuals who can help for my mission to go on. At the moment, we need to establish a Foundation School and a Vocational Institution purposely to equip the needy with real life skills for survival, we need beds, mattresses, renovation of the Hope Home and also other structures to accommodate more needy people and also established other income generating projects so that the organization can stop relying on donations all the time not forgetting the day to day needs say food, water, medical care, soap, clothes, shoes among many more. With great thanks,&nbsp; I am happy for making me a public figure in the support of the needy in Africa.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Regards Naigaga Naume HOCI Let&#39;s go and change the world.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="728" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/6602/master/" width="1648"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="111" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

As shown in this report by James Corbett, however, the image and the reality are far apart. The reality is that Gates, throughout his entire career, has been obsessed with the idea that the human population needs to be drastically reduced and that any means to this end is acceptable, including the creation of vaccines to sterilize people but offered to them as a defense against disease. </span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Eventually, Gates saw the potential for using vaccines for yet another hidden purpose, and that is for injecting micro chips and data tattoos into the skin that, in addition to pushing pharmaceutical concoctions into the blood stream, also embed digital data that can be read by scanners to identify every person on the planet. They also will carry a record of vaccine acceptance, medical history, psychological profiles, and social-behavior scores. Oh, yes, all of this philanthropy has created huge profits for the companies in which Gates is invested. Every dollar given away has come back with ten others. This is the real Bill Gates.

font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;"><span><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);">The right to use physical force against tyranny</span></span></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;">Jesus did not look with approval upon the refusal to employ force to protect the majority of any given human group against the unfair and enslaving practices of unjust minorities who may be able to entrench themselves behind political, financial, or ecclesiastical power. Shrewd, wicked, and designing men are not to be permitted to organize themselves for the exploitation and oppression of those who, because of their idealism, are not disposed to resort to force for self-protection or for the furtherance of their laudable life projects.</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">A Parable from Jesus</span></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px;">8</span>&nbsp;&quot;But I also am the true shepherd who is willing even to lay down his life for the sheep. The thief breaks into the fold only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; but I have come that you all may have life and have it more abundantly. He who is a hireling, when danger arises, will flee and allow the sheep to be scattered and destroyed; but the true shepherd will not flee when the wolf comes; he will protect his flock and, if necessary, lay down his life for his sheep. Verily, verily, I say to you, friends and enemies, I am the true shepherd; I know my own and my own know me. I will not flee in the face of danger. I will finish this service of the completion of my Father&#39;s will, and I will not forsake the flock which the Father has intrusted to my keeping.</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Have no fear and be of good cheer&nbsp;</span></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;">Jesus, still standing, then said to the twelve: &quot;You are my chosen ambassadors, but I know that, in the circumstances, you could not entertain this belief&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">(That he was the world&#39;s deliverer the Son of the Living God)</span><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(128, 0, 0);">&nbsp;</span>as a result of mere human knowledge. This is a revelation of the spirit of my Father to your inmost souls. And when, therefore, you make this confession by the insight of the spirit of my Father which dwells within you, I am led to declare that upon this foundation will I build the brotherhood of the kingdom of heaven. Upon this rock of spiritual reality will I build the living temple of spiritual fellowship in the eternal realities of my Father&#39;s kingdom.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">All the forces of evil and the hosts of sin shall not prevail against this human fraternity of the divine spirit.</span>&nbsp;And while my Father&#39;s spirit shall ever be the divine guide and mentor of all who enter the bonds of this spirit fellowship, to you and your successors I now deliver the keys of the outward kingdom -- the authority over things temporal -- the social and economic features of this association of men and women as fellows of the kingdom.&quot;</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span style="font-size: 28px;"><img alt="" height="111" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" style="font-size: 28px;" width="1000"></span></span></p>]]></description>
