German Researchers Examine Covid “Vaccines” and Vaccinated People’s Blood and Say Stop Vaccinations Immediately
The German Working Group for Covid Vaccine Analysis has made its ‘Summary of Preliminary Findings’ publicly available. In a wide-ranging report dated 6 July, the Group described the toxic substances found in all Covid “vaccine” samples analysed and the marked changes seen in blood samples taken from vaccinated people. The Group also found that the greater the stability of the envelope of lipid nanoparticles, the more frequent the vaccine side effects.
“In order to avert a direct and imminent danger to human life and public safety, we ask that the Covid-19 vaccination programmes be discontinued immediately,” the Group’s report stated.
PfizerGate: Official Government Reports prove Hundreds of Thousands of People are dying every single week due to Covid-19 Vaccination
You were instructed to stay at home to protect the healthcare system. But while you did so, hospitals essentially had a holiday, and this is backed up by official data. You were told the answer to everyone’s prayers was to get the Covid-19 injection. But now that you have done so, the healthcare system is on the brink of collapse.
Waiting times for ambulances are at an all-time high. The number of emergency calls due to people suffering cardiac arrest is at an all-time high. The number of people dying is at an all-time high, with hundreds of thousands of excess deaths occurring around the world every single week.
And official Government reports prove without a shadow of a doubt that it is all thanks to the Covid-19 vaccines.
Maddie de Garay’s Attorney Aaron Siri is Disgusted by Pfizer’s Compromised Clinical Trials

Report: Baltimore Jewish community injection campaign administered by George Soros
A video released last year among Baltimore’s Orthodox Jewish community featured eight prominent rabbis using their considerable rabbinical influence to convince their congregants to “get vaccinated” against COVID-19.
Seconds into the video, however, it became clear that the rabbis had done little, if any, research on the injections. The spiritual leaders made claims like “100% of people who died in Maryland were unvaccinated,” and assured the community that the injections did not negatively impact fertility.
Deborah Conrad & Gina Doane - What Happens When People Are Killed By COVID-19 Vaccines
Both Deb Conrad and Gina Doane have been featured on Highwire.
I spent 90 minutes talking to both of them about how hospitals and the CDC treat the people who have been killed by the vaccine.
The hospital holds all the cards and even when this was one of the most obvious vaccine deaths I've ever heard about, no doctor at the hospital nor the CDC would recognize this as a vaccine death. They even omitted mentioning he was vaccinated on his death certificate.
When it comes to the vaccines, they can DO NO HARM.
This segment names the people who were responsible for this cover-up.
This death, which was early in the vaccination campaign, should have been acknowledged by the CDC as being caused by the vaccine. But you can't get anyone on camera at the CDC or the hospital to talk to about it.
There is something very serious broken when such an obvious vaccine death is covered up like this…
“The Long Term Effects and Efficacy of the Vaccines Are Not Currently Known” – The Purchase Agreement Between the EU Commission and Pfizer
The contracts confirm that, in the event of damage from side effects, the compensation will fall almost exclusively on the states. Concessions made to pharmaceutical companies in the field of civil liability have been debated throughout Europe for months. But the text reiterates that the use 'takes place in a period of epidemic conditions and the administration of the products will be conducted under the sole responsibility of the Member States.'
Pharmaceutical companies are liable only in the event of willful misconduct or a proven violation of Good Manufacturing Practices…
Nurses Who Left the Health Care System to Focus on Early Treatment Describe ‘Brutal’ COVID-19 Treatment Protocols
Nurses who witnessed “brutal” hospital COVID-19 treatment protocols kill patients paint a bleak picture of what is taking place in state and federally funded health care systems.
“They’re horrific, and they’re all in lockstep,” Staci Kay, a nurse practitioner with the North Carolina Physicians for Freedom who left the hospital system to start her own early treatment private practice, told The Epoch Times. “They will not consider protocols outside of what’s given to them by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and the NIH (National Institute of Health). And nobody is asking why.”
Unprovoked Submassive Saddle Pulmonary Embolism in an Adult Male After Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccination
A team of doctors has alerted the medical world to the danger of artery blockage from COVID vaccination with a new case report , published in the Cureus Journal of Medical Science.
The case report describes how their patient, 67 years old, started to feel short of breath two days after getting the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19. Then, while doing some yard work, he could not catch his breath, even after resting for half an hour. So he went to the emergency room.
The ER doctors found that this patient’s heart was racing, and that one of his legs had started to swell. His blood pressure was abnormally high. A blood test to assess his troponin levels revealed abnormally high troponin as well. Troponin is a type of protein found in the heart muscles. When the heart muscles are damaged, from a heart attack or other stress on the heart, troponin is released into the blood stream.
4x-Vaccinated Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Gets COVID a Second Time
Austin received his first booster in October 2021. He first tested positive for COVID in January 2022. After that, he received another booster.
In effect, the defense secretary of the United States has supposedly received four shots of synthetic mRNA, and is now on his second round of COVID disease.
Unvaccinated Novak Djokovic can play in US Open 2022 after USA confirms Covid rule changes
Former world number one men’s tennis player Novak Djokovic’s hopes of participating in the year’s final Grand Slam – the US Open – received a big boost recently when American health chiefs relaxed nationwide coronavirus guidance for unvaccinated people two-and-a-half weeks before the tournament. Under new rules, despite being unvaccinated, Djokovic can now play in New York.
Disease Madness – What is Happening? Part 2 - What Really Makes You Ill
In part 1 of Disease Madness – What Is Happening?, I discussed the ‘diseases’ reported by the WHO on their Disease Outbreak News (DONS) web page since 1st June 2022. But these were not all new ‘outbreaks’; some were referred to as ‘situation updates’; in other words, they had begun some time earlier.
However, perusal of the DONS web pages from the beginning of 2020 reveals a rather large number of ‘outbreaks’ of many different diseases in various different countries or sometime multiple countries. Again, these are not all ‘new’ outbreaks; they too include ‘situation updates’.
Wokepox: The WHO Is Asking For The Public's Help In Re-Naming Monkeypox
Further proving that the World Health Organization is misguided at best, useless at worst, the agency is out asking "for the public's help" in...not combating monkeypox...but re-naming it.
At least we know the agency has its priorities in order...
The WHO was out this past week asking for new names for monkeypox "part of an ongoing effort to discourage harmful misconceptions associated with the current name," according to Bloomberg.
"Covid Is Here to Stay," CDC Concedes After Two Years Of Orwellian Hysteria
At first, I wanted a good portion of this article to be a victory lap for making the prediction earlier this year that we would see a major pivot on how the media and authority figures would present Covid to the public.
Among other things, on January 2, 2022, I predicted “one of the largest mainstream media pivots in history in 2022, catalyzed by capitalism and common sense”.
Israel wants to HALT rabies vaccine for animals after just 10 adverse events, but won’t stop covid vaccines for humans after hundreds of thousands of injuries and deaths
Israel’s Minister of Agriculture (MOA) wants to HALT the NOBIVAC rabies vaccine for animals. Investigators detected a higher-than-normal rate of adverse events in pets, including fever, pain, allergies and shock symptoms. Three pets were reportedly hospitalized after vaccination. So far, no animal deaths have been reported. The agency has verified ten adverse events per 100,000 vaccinations and wants to investigate both the importer and the manufacturer for errors related to shipment, contamination and product defect. Meanwhile, Israel continues to ignore hundreds of thousands of citizens who have been either injured or killed by COVID vaccines.
The FDA Buried Their Heads in the Sand as 44% of Pregnant Trial Participants Suffered Miscarriages
Naomi Wolf and her team have issued a correction on the miscarriage rate. It was believed to be 44%, but after further review, they concluded the actual number was 18%.
A recent document released under court order reveals that 44% of pregnant women participating in Pfizer's mRNA COVID vaccine trial suffered miscarriages.
Dr. Naomi wolf nearly broke down into tears discussing the matter as the FDA was presented with this data nearly a year and a half ago, and instead of doing their job and raising the alarm, they buried their heads in the sand and said, "Go get your vaccine, expecting mothers.”
Women and girls are being lied to about vaccine safety
In relation to Covid-19, pregnant women are classed as a ‘vulnerable group’. I entirely agree: they are vulnerable to breathtaking levels of dangerous misinformation generated by the very institutions they are supposed to trust.
May I turn your attention to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOS) here in the UK. This august institution has been around for nearly a century and is an esteemed national authority, advising government on health policy and issuing advice to healthcare professionals and the public on reproductive health in women and girls.
Illinois Hospital Agrees to Pay $10.3M in COVID Vaccine Mandate Lawsuit
More than 500 healthcare workers who challenged their Illinois hospital’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate will divide an overall $10.3 million received in a settlement agreement.
Thirteen NorthShore University HealthSystem employees sued in October 2021 alleging the hospital illegally refused to grant religious exemptions to the vaccine mandate.
More Parents Than Ever Are Now Starting To Question ‘Routine’ Childhood Vaccines
The Defender reports: In the U.S., children’s and teen’s vaccination rates plummeted dramatically, falling that year by as much as 91% depending on the age group, including a noticeably lower uptake of diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccines (DTaP or DTP), meningitis shots and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines.
Public health officials expected this “pandemic hangover” to dissipate by 2021, but instead, the change in parents’ vaccine-seeking behavior for their kids persisted.
The Dam Is Bursting
I’ve seen everything from brain fog, to exercise tolerance is rubbish, to death, to neurological stuff, to autoimmune conditions
Doctors are complicit; they’ve been actively involved in vaccinating children. You can see it in their eyes with immediate effect, that they know.
All of those doctors and nurses said to me that they wouldn’t vaccinate their own children, yet would go down the vaccine centre and vaccinate your children. That to me is not only a Hippocratic Oath no no, it’s ethically abhorrent.
Must-Read Book Asks: Why, After 7 Decades, Don’t We Have Proof Vaccines Provide More Benefit Than Risk?

Scientists discover ‘Carbon Nanotech’ & ‘Radioactive Thulium’ in Pfizer & Moderna COVID Vaccines
After reviewing electron microscope images of elements contained in the Covid Pfizer and Moderna injections, Dr. Daniel Nagase revealed that, strangely, the contents of the Pfizer and Moderna “vaccines” show no signs of biological material, including mRNA or DNA.
Do you know how many people have been killed worldwide by their governments from the COVID shots?
It's around 12M. That is 40X the number of Americans who were killed in World War II. It's more than double the number killed by COVID.
Ep 158 Settling the Virus Debate – with Dr Kevin Corbett
In the interview Dr Corbett recounts his background with involvement in the Perth Group, who were key players in challenging the dogma around AIDS and the alleged HIV virus in the 1980s. He also cites the publication “Continuum” from that era, and informs us that back issues are still available on line, even though the publication is no longer in print. It remain a treasure trove of information that is highly relevant to the medical issues of today. The key difference being that today our political freedom is at stake with lock downs, quarantines and governments taking complete control of society in the name of public health.
The Covid Experts Effectively Admit They Made Up the Whole ‘6-Feet Social Distancing’ Thing
The Science™ took another serious blow on Tuesday, as one of the most persistent, but ridiculous Covid myths was essentially debunked by one of the nation’s foremost public health experts.
Dr. Ashish Jha, the Biden White House’s Covid response coordinator, effectively admitted the “six feet of social distancing” thing was entirely made up. Dr. Jha made the admission in a video called “Path Forward” for the Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday.
Driver awarded $60k compensation after being sacked due to lockdown
A moving company has been ordered to pay a former employee more than $60,000 for unjustifiably dismissing him when the country went into lockdown in 2020, despite claiming a wage subsidy for him.
Carl Mathieson was employed as a driver at Star Moving in Nelson from the start of 2019 and became a permanent full-time employee in January 2020.

CDC Announces Overhaul After Botching Pandemic
After more than two years of missteps and backpedaling over Covid-19 guidance that had a profound effect on Americans' lives, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) announced on Wednesday that the agency would undergo a complete overhaul - and will revamp everything from its operations to its culture after failing to meet expectations during the pandemic, Bloomberg reports.
Watch: Shoppers At Shanghai Ikea Flee Sudden COVID Lockdown
Though America's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) took a turn toward Covid rationality last week, "Zero-Covid" madness is still raging in China.

War Propaganda About Ukraine Starting to Wear Thin
As Amnesty International confirms the inconvenient truths, which many independent journalists and political observers already knew, about the Ukrainian army’s behavior in Donbass, it’s worth examining how manipulating the truth has become—not only an everyday occurrence but a central element of the West’s proxy war in Ukraine.
The Russia-Israel Alliance Is Cracking Amidst the Ever-Shifting Geopolitics Chessboard
On May 13th, 2022 for the first time, Russia used its S-300 air defense system against Israel, firing at Israeli jets after an air strike in northwestern Syria. In 2015 Putin had come to the defense of Syrian ally President Assad, requesting Russian military assistance against US-Turkey-Saudi backed ISIS terrorists, successfully securing Assad from yet another illegal US coup insurgency. Recall that Syria was among the targeted nations per the infamous Bush-Cheney-neocon takedown list of 7 nations in 5 years, disclosed by General Wesley Clark. But with Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Sudan, Yemen and Somalia all now arguably left failed states, compliments of US unipolar aggression and imperialistic wars clearly fought for Israel’s Yinon plan, only Iran still stands intact militarily unattacked. But unhappy over the latest developments and concessions after a Russian brokered new US-Iran deal in March, in response Israel has acquired new capabilities ramped up for launching a potential attack against Iran.

Argentina Central Bank Hikes Rates to Whopping 69.5 Percent as Country Fights Soaring Inflation
The Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA) raised its 28-day benchmark interest rate by 950 basis points on Aug. 11, pushing up the rate to 69.5 percent.
“The rise in the policy rate will help reduce inflation expectations for the rest of the year and consolidate the financial and exchange rate stability achieved after the disruptive events of the last two months that led to the intervention of the BCRA in the secondary securities market,” the central bank said in an Aug. 11 press release.
Inflation Reduction Act will cost middle class $20B in new taxes: CBO
The Inflation Reduction Act sent to President Biden’s desk will end up forcing working-class Americans to pay billions of dollars in new taxes, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
An analysis by the CBO estimates those earning less than $400,000 — the group on which Biden promised not to raise taxes — will pay an estimated $20 billion more in taxes over the next decade as a result of the Democrat-pushed $740 billion package, which also sets aside $80 billion to hire 87,000 IRS agents.

Nuclear Deal Increasingly Unlikely As Iran Strengthens Ties With Russia
There are several reasons to be short crude oil currently – economic recession in the U.S. and looming recessions in Europe, ongoing lockdowns in China, the vested interest of the U.S. in keeping oil below US$75 per barrel of Brent, to name but three - but the prospect of an imminent new ‘nuclear deal’ between the West and Iran is not one of them.
UK Average Electricity Cost Will Soar To $5,370 Per Year By 2023
Households are likely to see the average bill for electricity and natural gas climb to £4,400 ($5,370) a year in the first half of 2023, according to a report this week from Cornwall Insight, a consulting firm. This is after the regulatory price cap shot up 54% to about £2,000 in April with another 40%-plus increase due in October and further increases after that.
Britain’s median income after direct taxes is £31,400. Skyrocketing fuel prices could push 10.5 million households, or one-third, into fuel poverty next year, says the End Fuel Poverty Coalition. Fuel poverty is when energy costs drag household disposable income below the government’s official poverty line.
That doesn’t include the energy costs households pay indirectly. Businesses, whose prices aren’t capped, have seen electricity costs rise in the past year between 45% and 122% depending on company size, and gas prices between 131% and 185%.
"Worst I've Ever Seen": Cotton Prices Soar After Historic USDA Cut Amid Megadrought

Over 70 Economists Call for Biden Administration to Return Afghanistan’s Central Bank Reserves
More than 70 economists sent a letter to President Joe Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen today urging them to allow the central bank of Afghanistan access to $7 billion in foreign reserves that the Biden administration blocked access to last year following the Taliban takeover of the Afghan government and the US military withdrawal from the country. The economists write that the reserves are crucial for Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB), as the central bank is called, to function. And, without an operational central bank, the Afghan economy is not able to work properly, with many unable to receive salaries and the government unable to perform basic monetary duties and limited in paying for imports.
Korea as Commons. Where is the Peninsula heading in the Political, Economic and Cultural Senses
Could an emergent North Korea provide the world with a new, from-scratch benchmark of sustainable, collaborative economic and social development? With geopolitical change and emerging technologies, the idea of a national “commons” now looks increasingly feasible.
Relations between North and South Korea are changing so rapidly, the pressing question is no longer what the next step in this process of reconciliation will be, but rather where the peninsula is heading in the political, economic and cultural senses.
Israel attacks positions near Russian base in Syria
On the night of 14 August, Israel launched double missile strikes targeting rural Damascus and the outskirts of Tartous city.

CIA, Pompeo Sued For Allegedly Spying On US Attorneys And Journalists Who Met With Assange
A group of journalists and lawyers, who visited WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange while he was living under political asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy, sued the CIA and former CIA director Mike Pompeo. They allege that the agency under Pompeo spied on them in violation of their privacy rights.
Undercover Global S.L., a private security company in Spain, and the company’s director David Morales are also named as defendants. UC Global ramped up surveillance against Assange and shared audio and video footage from the embassy with “American intelligence.”
Will China Mess With US Warships Headed for Taiwan Strait?
The US has thrown down the gauntlet. A showdown may come "in the coming weeks," if sanity does not prevail.
White House and Pentagon spokesmen keep insisting, as Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl did on Aug. 14:
"What’s important for us right now is to make sure that Beijing understands that our forces in the region will continue to operate, to fly, to sail wherever international waters allows. That includes the Taiwan Strait.
"I think you should expect that we will continue to do Taiwan Strait transits, as we have in the past, in the coming weeks. …"

Alec Baldwin Pulled The Trigger Of Gun That Killed On-Set Cinematographer, FBI Analysis Concludes
Now we officially all know what we did back in October 2021 when Alec Baldwin mistakenly shot a cinematographer on the set of the movie "Rust": guns do not fire unless a person pulls the trigger.
That was the conclusion of an FBI analysis, released days ago, that found that Baldwin "pulled the trigger of the gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza," according to the Post Millennial.

They use the FBI & DOJ to try and dirty up their opponents, but the people of our Country are wise to them like never before. Be careful what you wish for!” Trump wrote in a statement on his Truth Social platform on Aug. 13.

CRISES: COVID, CLIMATE AND CONFLICT
With the Covid-hysteria winding down in some parts of the world such as the UK and Scandinavia, it is easy to believe life will return to the pre-2020 norm. But we must be aware that the ‘global elite’ technocrats do not rely on the public’s perception of a specific narrative to achieve their objectives – they can continue to manufacture consent via other narratives that achieve the same results.
You’ll notice that while the Coronavirus 2020 narrative was a major catalyst into the Technocracy becoming public – the vast majority of Technocracy as a political project was done the prior 30 years under the guise of Climate Change. COVID-19 was nothing more than a public perception alarm, a paradigm shift, as 9/11 was before it.
