SONA 2022 full text of President Bongbong Marcos
Philippine President Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos delivered his first State of the Nation Address (SONA), which emphasized his vision for the next six years of his presidency.
Govt ready for monkeypox – DoH
THE Department of Health (DoH) assured the public that it has been preparing for the monkeypox virus since an uptick of cases was reported in other countries in May 2022.
The department gave the assurance hours after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared monkeypox a "public health emergency of international concern."
Bongbong Marcos vision: A digital Philippines
According to the World Bank, with the PhilSys, the Philippines provided a "great example" of a government addressing digital ecosystem gaps by strengthening the foundational ID, digital data governance and digital payment systems.
The DICT is also pushing for a shift into an online payment system with government transactions to avoid corruption.
“I'm sure a lot of people won't be happy with that, but that really has to be done in order to minimize opportunities for corruption. Especially by stopping handling cash,” he said.
SONA 2022: Marcos Says 'No More Lockdowns'
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. told the nation Monday that there would be "no more lockdowns" as he promised to strengthen the country's health infrastructure and roll out more booster shots to help Filipinos live with the coronavirus.
Concepcion: Private sector lost P5.1B
GO Negosyo founder Jose Maria "Joey" Concepcion 3rd on Wednesday said the private sector lost a total of $100.1 million or P5.1 billion from 4,252,830 expired Covid-19 vaccines.
Concepcion bared this as he slammed the "belated decision" of the Department of Health (DoH) and the Health Technology Assessment Council (HTAC) to allow second booster vaccinations for Filipinos 50 years and older and for 18- to 49-year-olds with comorbidities.
DoH working with Covax to replace expired vaccines
THE Department of Health (DoH) said that it is working with the global Covax vaccine facility to replace the expired vaccines in the government's stockpile. This comes after former Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship and Go Negosyo founder Jose Maria "Joey" Concepcion 3rd lamented the loss of around P5.1 billion worth of vaccines that expired.
And if you want my in-depth thoughts on the SONA, here it is…
COVID/Monkeypox, & Health
New Study Adds To Growing Body Of Evidence Suggesting Mask Mandates Are Ineffective
A new study published this month revealed that COVID-19 mask mandates in schools have little to no effect.
“Our findings contribute to a growing body of literature which suggests school-based mask mandates have limited to no impact on the case rates of COVID-19 among K-12 students,” researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of California–Davis said in a preprint study published on Research Square.
33 Dead & Sick Friends Since Our Wedding Only 8 Months Ago. All 33 Vaxxed.
Yes, you read correctly. There are (so far) 33 friends and relatives dead or sick since our wedding eight months ago. I've done the research. All 33 were vaxxed. Every one of them.
This is a "vaccine death and disease cluster."
This is like the Love Canal, New York, cancer cluster of the 1970s. It can't be ignored when you see so many people dead, or very ill in just one group.
How complementary medicines won a court case in South Africa
Natural and complementary medicine is a highly contested space globally. Even the WHO wants to be involved in decision making, and set up a Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine department.
In South Africa, both the High Court and Supreme Court of Appeal unanimously agreed that the South African Health Products Authority (SAHPRA) has no legal jurisdiction to regulate substances that are not medicines or scheduled substances.
The verdict follows after the Alliance of Natural Health Products South Africa (ANHP), took the Minister of Health and the SAHPRA to court over contested regulations that would regulate all natural health products, defined as complementary medicines and health supplements, as medicines.
You see, the vaccine’s spike protein is grown by genetically engineering baculoviruses to produce spike, and then infecting insect cells with the baculovirus to turn the whole thing into a spike protein factory.
At the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meeting that I live-blogged last week, it was revealed that the Novavax vaccine was being rolled out because it could be marketed as a “more traditional” vaccine, since it was not made from mRNA. Novavax was to be directed to the unvaccinated, although only 10% of the unvaccinated, it was anticipated, would accept it.
Although LTC residents are disproportionately at risk of severe outcomes following COVID-19 infection, our findings suggest that they may also be at greater risk of postvaccination adverse effects.
COVID Jabs Impact Both Male and Female Fertility
Expert warns that there is credible evidence that the COVID shots may cross-react with syncytin and reproductive genes in sperm, ova and placenta in ways that might impair reproductive outcomes. ‘We could potentially be sterilizing an entire generation.’
Dr. Theresa Long, medical officer with the United States military, has testified in court that she was ordered by a superior to suppress Covid-19 vaccine injuries following the Biden regime’s mandate.
Dr. Long also testified that the data is showing that deaths of military members from the vaccines exceed deaths from COVID-19 itself.
The DoD downplayed Dr. Long’s conclusions, saying the increase in vaccine injuries was caused by a “glitch in the database.”
Dr Vernon Coleman: ‘Only Morons wear Masks’
Predictably, the conspirators’ shills and spokes-idiots are all lining up to insist that everyone start wearing face masks again.
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that people vaccinated against COVID-19 remained contagious with the virus for a longer period of time than their unvaccinated counterparts.
A New England Journal of Medicine study involving more than a quarter million children ages 5 to 11 raises serious questions about the risk-benefit analysis for vaccinating young children, according to John Campbell, Ph.D., who reviewed the study in a recent video.
ARE THEY HIDING THE EFFECT OF 5G BY CALLING IT "LONG COVID" IS IT RADIATION POISONING?
They are using "Monkey Pox" to hide shingles from the jabs and an excuse for another shot (Monkey Pox jab) to kill more people. It could be. Not sure but something is affecting peoples ability to think and and function. I have noticed an increase in this as time has gone on. I stay my supplements up and have been using MMS to combat this but I have noticed it in others and seems to be getting worse. So far I feel fine.
WHO's Tedros Overrules Own Committee To Declare Monkeypox "Global Emergency"
One day after the global case count top 16,000 and the US records its first cases involving children, WHO Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared the global spread of monkeypox a ‘Public Health Emergency of International Concern’, one level below the pandemic status assigned to COVID-19.
There are now more than 16,000 cases of monkeypox outside Africa, roughly five times the number when the advisers met in June and declined to formally declare it a public health emergency, the New York Times reports.
This is not the first time that Bill Gates has warned governments of the dangers of a bioterrorist attack involving a deadly strain of the smallpox virus. The following announcement was made at the 2017 Munich Security Conference:
“The next epidemic could originate on the computer screen of a terrorist intent on using genetic engineering to create a synthetic version of the smallpox virus … or a super contagious and deadly strain of the flu.” (Munich Security Conference, February 2017,
In a move that is sure to trigger widespread discussion concerning the independence, objectivity and wisdom of granting authority to the WHO to manage global infectious diseases responses, the monkeypox outbreak has been declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) by the World Health Organization.
Any objective outside observer would conclude that the committee failed to endorse moving to a PHEIC. When a similar meeting was previously held on June 23, 2022, the committee resolved by consensus to advise the WHO Director-General that at this stage the outbreak should be determined to not constitute a PHEIC. An official United Nations article summarizing this can be found here.
CRISPR gene editing may cause permanent damage - study
Scientists at Tel Aviv University (TAU) warn that while the CRISPR genome-editing method is very effective, it is not always safe and that sometimes, rearranging pieces of DNA compromises genomic stability, possibly triggering cancer in the long run.
CRISPR – an acronym for “clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats” – allows genetic material to be added, removed or altered at particular locations in the genome. Several approaches to genome editing have been developed.
Monkeypox: Yet More Madness - What Really Makes You Ill
I had originally planned to include a small section about monkeypox as part of my ‘Disease Madness’ series. But that plan changed with the declaration by the WHO Director General on 23rd July 2022 that ‘monkeypox’ is now a ‘global health emergency’.
I realised then that it requires a whole article dedicated to exposing this ‘declaration’ as nothing more than pure propaganda and yet another mainstream narrative intended to scare people into complying with the likely imposition of a further set of restrictive measures in the name of an allegedly ‘dangerous disease’ caused by a virus.
WHO Recommends Gay And Bisexual Men Limit Sexual Partners, Anonymous Sex, To Reduce Monkeypox Spread
The World Health Organization on Wednesday recommended that gay and bisexual men cut back on the number of sexual partners to reduce the spread of monkeypox, after the WHO's monkeypox expert, Rosamund Lewis, noted that men who have sex with men are the group with the highest risk of infection right now, CNBC reports.
DNA Can Be Engineered To Kill Individuals, Families Or Entire Ethnicities
DNA has been quietly and yet aggressively collected by the major super powers, but much of that is already in private hands to sell to the highest bidder. Genetic engineering is firmly entrenched in militaries and could be used as the ultimate stealth weapons to conquer entire continents. Wipe out classes of food? Kill all caucasians, blacks or orientals? Left-handed, green-eyed short men of European descent? No problem.
Geopolitics & Economy
Hedge Fund CIO: The World Is Racing To A New Monetary Regime With An Unknown Finish Line
There is no ex-ante limit to that Transmission Protection Instrument programme,” said ECB President Lagarde, following her predecessor’s playbook, “[the] ECB determines in its own discretion not being hostage to anyone.” The market disagreed, widening peripheral spreads.
The tools that came from “whatever it takes” have been made redundant by politics. Markets are skeptical version-two can be effective. “There’s ample room to hike in 0.25 and 0.50 [percentage point] levels to whatever rate we think, we consider reasonable,” Austria’s central bank Governor Holzmann emphasized in speaking of future meetings, a reminder of the ECBs North-South balancing act. “We do have the risk of a slowdown in the economy,” said the ECB Chief economist ahead of the July rate hike.
School Choice=Social Credit System
In the article, SEL+ ESG=Social Credit System, it was explained how the emergence of Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) Scores & the imperative to teach, score, and track social and emotional learning (SEL) is setting the stage for a future social credit system. There is one more factor in that equation that will make the total control of the public possible and that’s the monopoly of all societal systems as well as shifting those systems into blockchain technology. Education just happens to be the low-hanging fruit/societal system that’s the easiest to manipulate and take over. As detailed in UNESCO’s Vision for School Choice, legislation that allows for public money to be used in private education will be used to do it.
ESG Is A Globalist 'Scam' Meant To Usher In 'One World Government': James Lindsay
James Lindsay, author of “Race Marxism” and other books challenging woke narratives, has taken environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores into his crosshairs, calling ESG a weapon in the hands of “social justice warriors” to shake down corporations and a tool in the hands of those seeking to impose “one world government.”
Lindsay told NTD’s “The Nation Speaks” program in a recent interview that the ESG scoring system was initially conceived as a way for investors to track the likelihood that a corporation would be a good bet for investment over the long term.
“In the early 2000s, a few very socially minded socially activist investors got together and thought up this idea that, well, it’s probably the case that companies that are bad at environmental policy, bad with social responsibility, and bad corporate governance are going to be bad bets in long term investment,”
Escobar: Welcome To NAM 2.0, The End Of The "Rules-Based International Order"
Those were the days, in 1955, at the legendary Bandung conference in Indonesia, when the newly emancipated Global South started dreaming of building a new world, via what became configured later in 1961 in Belgrade as the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).
The Empire of Chaos – and Lies – would never allow a starring role for NAM. So it played dirty: everything from hardcore subversion and bribing to military coups and proto-color revolutions.
Yet now, the Spirit of Bandung lives again, via a sort of NAM 2.0 on steroids: a Newly Aligned Movement, with the leaders of Eurasian integration at the vanguard.
Taiwan Stages Chinese Invasion War Games With Ukraine In Mind
Taiwan kicked off its largest annual military exercises Monday, with trench warfare and shoulder-launched Stinger missiles deployed against simulated Chinese attacks in drills informed by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
If House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) follows through on her planned trip to Taiwan, the US military will beef up security in case a 'mishap, misstep or misunderstanding' endangers her safety, AP reports.

Iran to Grow Food on a Million Hectares in Venezuela
Venezuela has agreed to provide Iran with one million hectares of agricultural land for food growing projects, Iranian officials confirm.
On July 26, Iran’s deputy interior minister for economic affairs, Mohsen Kushki Tabar, praised the agricultural agreement signed between the two countries, which is part of the 20-year cooperation plan signed during the visit of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to Tehran, Iran’s capital city, in June.
The Iranian official has stated that this agreement, which was inked amid the world crisis of food reserves, “shows that the strong and great Iran has reached a level of knowledge exchange comparable to other countries.”
Iran’s Oil Revenues Soar by 580% as Crude Prices Rally
Iran's revenues from exports of oil and condensate surged by 580% during the first four months of the current Iranian year that begins on March 21, Iranian Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance, Seyyed Ehsan Khandouzi, said on Tuesday. Between March 21 and July 21, international crude oil prices have largely held above $100 per barrel after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions on Russian oil exports upended global trade flows.
"Due to the increase in oil exports and our new budget's currency conversion rate, we saw a 580% increase in the treasury's income from the export of oil and condensate in the first four months of this year," the Iranian finance minister was quoted as saying by local news agency IRNA.
Russia Scores Dismally in Oil and Gas Sector in Africa
According to the World Bank, Russia holds the world’s largest natural gas reserves, the second largest coal reserves, and the eighth largest oil reserves. Over the past years, Russia has expressed heightened interest in exploring and producing oil and gas in Africa. Emboldened African leaders and industry executives have accepted proposals, several agreements and whatever were signed with Russian companies, but little have been achieved in the sector. With the rapidly changing geopolitical conditions and economic fragmentation fraught with competition and rivarly, African leaders have to understand that Russia might not heavily invest in the oil and gas sector, not even in the needed infrastructure in this industry.
