Hong Kong to Require Electronic Tags for New COVID Quarantine 'Cases' - 21st Century Wire

The Global Vaccine Nightmare Has Just Begun (substack.com)
The perfectly healthy are getting bad cancers much too frequently now. The perfectly healthy are dying suddenly. What all of them shared was being vaccinated.
What does it mean now that we know this info? Could it open up the opportunity for lawsuits? How does someone prove their DNA has been altered by the injection?
Covid-19 vaccination is going to lead to mass depopulation. This is a pretty bold claim to make. ‘Your Government is trying to kill you’ is even bolder. But unfortunately, these bold claims are now backed up with a mountain of evidence, and most of that evidence can be found in the confidential Pfizer documents that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration has been forced to publish by court order.
In a move Children’s Health Defense President Mary Holland called “head-spinning,” the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday granted full approval of Pfizer-BioNTech’s Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine for adolescents 12 through 15 years old.
Systemic Harms to our Children - by Robert W Malone MD, MS (substack.com)
I recently had a parent write to me that the overnight camp that they were going to send their child to (fees already paid), had just notified them that mask use was to be required of students at all times. Was there anything I could do? Unfortunately, I can not change the mind-set of a summer camp on the west coast. The CDC is once again promoting policies with no basis in scientific fact, but these policies are reflexively accepted by those whom we trust to care for our children. COVID may be “over” for many of us, but not so for many of our children.
According to the testimonies of funeral directors who wish to remain anonymous, many children are dying within months after being injected with the mRNA jabs.
Draconian Quarantine Regulations In New York State | NaturalHealth365
A sobering precedent is now in force in New York state. Going far and beyond the official guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – that is, stay home and isolate for 5 to 10 days if you test positive for COVID-19 – the New York governor and those in her corner want to exert an unimaginable level of control over its free citizens.

US inflation surged to 9.1% in June from a year earlier, rising more than forecast - Disclose.tv
US inflation roared again to a fresh four-decade high last month, likely strengthening the Federal Reserve’s resolve to aggressively raise interest rates that risks upending the economic expansion.
Under normal circumstances inflation occurs, when too many monetary units (US dollars, Euros, Chinese Yuan) chase too few goods. But we are not living in normal times. To the contrary. We are living in an increasingly divided world, not only in political terms – West vs. East / Global North vs. Global South – but also in monetary terms.
To borrow on international markets huge sums of cash will be a suicide pill for the EU in the longer term. At the end of June, Italian MPs staged a protest inside the parliament against funding Ukraine with military aid and against the war in general. Days later, Dutch farmers take to the streets to protest against new belt tightening measures by the government which will harm their businesses leading to panic. And just in the last few days, we have seen increasingly desperate measures by the EU itself which is acting like an old man who has fallen off a bike and can’t get back on.

Fueling the Warfare State - TomDispatch.com
This March, when the Biden administration presented a staggering $813 billion proposal for “national defense,” it was hard to imagine a budget that could go significantly higher or be more generous to the denizens of the military-industrial complex.

SEL+ESG=Social Credit System - by Lisa Logan (substack.com)
How does one measure subjective qualities in students like grit, perseverance, empathy and perspective-taking? These traits are difficult to quantify because the definitions of what those look like can differ from person to person. It’s not like an objective measurement of performance like a grade on a test, or if a student was able to run the mile in P.E. Those evaluations of performance have obvious markers of success. When schools get into teaching and assessing a subject like social emotional learning, however, whether or not a student achieves these subjective attributes is not as clear. A lot depends on who is defining terms like these and how they are going to be measured. It begs the question, “Why are schools teaching, scoring, and tracking social and emotional skills at all?”

Remember Bill Gates’ initiative, Agenda ID2020? What we are confronted with now is much worse. It’s Agenda ID2020 on steroids.
