Young Woman Refuses Communist Salute
August 26, 2020



A WOMAN in a D.C. restaurant was reportedly taunted by (paid?) mob for refusing to show the Communist fist and to shout “White silence is violence” slogan.

A great example of personal bravery in the face of threats.

By the way, have you noticed, masks make it easier for people to become thuggish or just plain rude? Duh! Masks are meant for outlaws!

Laurel: Reclaiming a Hometown - One Home At A Time

Laurel, Mississippi went on a downward spiral after its pine woods industry went downhill. But, forests grow, and communities rise, especially with dedicated reclaimers, like Erin and Ben Napier.

Nobody knows and loves Laurel, Mississippi, quite like Erin and Ben Napier. After all, the small Southern city is where Home Town is filmed, and the Napiers are the stars of the HGTV show.

Bringing positive attention to their hometown was a major factor in the couple's decision to star in the show, currently airing its second season. In each episode, the husband and wife (and brand new parents!) help Laurel newcomers find and renovate their dream home. Along the way, we get a good look at the quaint town (population 18,756) that the hosts are so very proud of.

Through the series, Erin and Ben have indeed put Laurel on the map. And since it's only a matter of time before people start planning to visit the small town (just look at all the folks trekking to Magnolia Market and Pioneer Woman Mercantile!), here's our guide to the Home Town filming location, complete with Erin and Ben's favorite local spots.

"Our Memories ARE History"

On Propaganda and Boredom
August 22, 2020

ALAN writes:

There will be no reunion for my 1964 classmates this year because of propaganda about the alleged virus. It would have been our 56th-year reunion. How many of us will be there for the 57th? We had planned to hold a between-times get-together last April, but the virus propaganda blew that idea out the window.

All of you older readers of The Thinking Housewife: Can’t you just imagine American men in 1942 saying:

Well, folks, we will have to postpone defending our country until Daddy Government gives us permission to go outside without safety masks to protect us against an enemy even worse than the Japs and the Nazis. We must stop working at our jobs. We must stop going to church. We must stay at home and stare at the radio until Daddy Government tells us otherwise.

Could they have been that gullible in 1942? That stupid?

Then try to imagine what they would say about a population who respond to such instructions from Daddy Government like a flock of obedient little lambs.

Of course it is just a coincidence (Isn’t it?) that massive propaganda about an alleged virus is used as an excuse for Americans to surrender so much power over their lives–exactly a hundred years after the founding of the ACLU (American Communist Liars Union), one of whose ultimate goals was to make America into a Communist nation. (How do we know this? We know it because Roger Baldwin, one of its founders, said so. And a Communist wouldn’t tell a fib, would he?)

What better way to commemorate that historic occasion than with a propaganda barrage, Communist-engineered riots and lawlessness, a revolutionary “lockdown” of ordinary, decent, working-class Americans, and a corollary increase in power for the government, the mass communications industry, and the medical and pharmaceutical rackets? It stands to reason that anyone who engineered such a multi-pronged attack would encounter little if any opposition from a population of American men who have been thoroughly feminized.

Never have so many American men agreed so cheerfully to surrender the rights of individuals and the limitations on government power that earlier generations fought wars to create and defend. I learned long ago that false premises are the basis for mythmaking, and modern myths are indeed fodder for thousands of chattering magpies in the mass propaganda industry.

Knowingly or otherwise (mostly otherwise), Americans have now made giant strides toward what Dr. Thomas Szasz called “The Therapeutic State and what Communists have been planning for a hundred years.

I am sick and tired of the do-gooder mush in “We are all in this together” and “Thank you for looking out for each other.” Here’s a news flash for the do-gooders: I am not “looking out for each other”. Not my job. And “each other” are not looking out for me. Not their job.

Recently I had a brief message from classmate Jim. I asked him about classmate Tony, who has had back problems and knee problems. I was glad to receive Jim’s reply: “Tony is doing fine. Just bored like the rest of us.”

Hold on there for a moment. “Bored….”? Allow me to voice my dissent. I am not bored. Angry? Yes. Outraged? Yes. Skeptical? Yes. Confident that we are being lied to repeatedly and on multiple fronts? Absolutely.

Confident that what we have witnessed is not a “lockdown” but a Takedown? Yes. Confident that it is not about health but about power and power-lust? Absolutely. Confident that there are diabolical cultural, political, and philosophical purposes behind the propaganda about the alleged virus? Absolutely. Confident that the Takedown is either a dress rehearsal for the coming Communist World Government (which is now, as the cliché goes, “under construction”) or an exercise to measure the Servility Quotient of Americans (rather high, by all appearances), or both? Absolutely. But “bored”? Never.

We are alive, aren’t we? Since when is it boring to be alive? You can think, see, hear, talk, and remember, can’t you? Or is staring at screens all you care to do nowadays?

Wake up, classmates. Stop scaring at screens and listening to lies. My years are numbered, and maybe yours are, too.

How can anyone be bored with the perspective on life that three score-and-ten years have now my classmates and me? And what of all those memories we have accumulated? If the virus propaganda has given you “time on your hands”, then why not use it to write about what you know best? Our memories ARE history. Don’t take it all with you when you leave. Write it now, or some portion of it, for your descendants or friends or classmates.

Imagine how gratified we would be if our grandparents or great-grandparents had left written memories of their lives in the form of diaries, journals, essays, letters, and cards. Conversations are fine. But they are like meteors: Once they take place, they are gone. Written memories will remain. The printed word remains. Why not share some of them by writing about them? About your life in those years in our parish and neighborhood? About the people and moments you remember best, and why?

Six years ago, I wrote ten two-columned pages of memories we have in common from our school years. Last year I wrote 57 pages of memories of the songs and records we enjoyed in the years 1956-’68. I have written more than fifty additional pages of memories from those years and had intended to share them with classmates at the upcoming reunion…..now rendered null and void by the Communist/Socialist/Globalist Propaganda Barrage…..oops, I mean the deadly virus.

There is no “Dutchtown Historical Society”. We are it. Life as it was in that neighborhood during our school years is what we carry around in our heads. Who will ever know about life as it was there? Who will ever know that Dutchtown was not what it is now but the opposite: A clean, decent, civilized place to live and grow up, if we do not write about it?

“We will take our memories of America’s traditional culture with us to the grave and that will be the end of it,” reader Jane S. wrote to Lawrence Auster ten years ago. [“A Lament for Our Vanishing Culture”, View from the Right, August 20, 2010 ]

She was right. That is, unless those who —like her— remember that traditional American culture write what they remember. Like her, we are the last generation to remember that pre-1960s American culture, and among the last to be able to think and write about it without paying homage to the vocabulary and ideology by which younger generations are now taught to view it through pink- and red-tinted glasses.

Yesterday I was standing at one of the two lakes in Carondelet Park when I saw a young couple with their infant child across the lake. No masks. They were sitting on the grass at water’s edge and encouraging their child’s fascination with a group of ducks and geese who approached them. They were out in the open air in a lush green setting late on a pleasant summer day and encouraging their child’s discovery of the delight and wonder that may be found in making friends with birds.

To observe scenes like that is a good reason to be alive. To create scenes like that is a good way to spend “time on your hands”. To listen to the lies, fallacies, and misrepresentations raining down upon us is a complete waste of your time and your life.

Six years ago, a reader wrote in response to some of my essays:

“I can vouch for Alan’s eloquent description of what it was like. [i.e., Life in south St. Louis in the 1950s-’60s ] It is vital that his testimony and the testimony of his peers appear on the Net. They are historical documents.” [“When Baseball was Baseball”, The Thinking Housewife, July 30, 2014]

Why don’t you add to those historical documents by writing some of your own memories of life in St. Louis as it was before the revolutionary 1960s?

Child Abuse and Zombies in NYC



WE ARE living in a post-human society. These “people” are part of a cult and the children are being openly initiated into it. They are the victims of mental abuse.

Many will be getting sick this fall from the cumulative effects of oxygen deprivation.

Wearing a mask is not just harmful to health, but it is profoundly anti-social and rude. (I realize many good people have been led to believe otherwise and do not intend to be rude.) Those who do not wish to be part of this post-human cult in which the image of God and individuality are eradicated by covering the most communicative part of the body are being punished all over the country, losing their jobs in some cases and in many other cases being publicly bullied.

This pandemic is a scamdemic, a case of criminal fraud so outrageous and obvious it cannot be believed by many innocent bystanders. It’s killing people, and replacing them with zombies.

"Amnesty International apologies over inappropriate video campaign on Ethiopia"

Amnesty International apologies over inappropriate video campaign on Ethiopia
Borkena.com
August 18, 2020

Amnesty International apologized on Monday for posting video content that defends the “Oromo Protest.” The apology came just days after Ethiopians in social media campaigned (using the hashtag #dishonest amnesty) protesting Amnesty practices as related to activism on human rights issues in Ethiopia.

In a Twitter message on August 17, the organization said that “Amnesty International has always supported the human rights of all Ethiopians. We remain conscious of Ethiopia’s complex and evolving political climate. Our comms team recognizes the negative impact of our recent media output and apologises for posting it in error.”

Furthermore, it said that “Amnesty’s commitment to impartial and evidence based reporting underlies all of our outputs and we will continue to advocate for justice for all Ethiopians.”

Ethiopian Ambassador to the United States, Fitsum Arega, reacted to Amnesty International’s apology. He tweeted “Read Amnesty International’s apology. I expected high professional standards from a major global rights group. I hope this situation will be a teachable moment for AI. I trust AI going forward will strive for impartiality, fairness& neutrality in reporting on #Ethiopia.”

The rights group came under increasing criticism from Ethiopian activists over what many Ethiopians describe as biased activism in Ethiopia. When more than 240 non-Oromo and followers of Ethiopian Orthodox Christians were massacred by a mob mobilized by individuals and organizations (like Oromia Media Network) that link themselves to “Oromo Protest.”

The Shifty Pope

Pope Francis' Political Plea:

In this era, when popes become politicians, and enter the worship houses of alien religions, Pope Francis sent this "request" to the Ethiopians and the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam:

Pope Francis on Saturday called for dialogue between Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan, urging them not to let a dispute over a dam on the Nile lead to conflict.

"I invite all parties involved to continue on the path of dialogue so that the eternal river will continue to be a source of life, which unites and does not divide, which nurtures friendship, prosperity and fraternity and not enmity, misunderstanding and conflict," [Source]

Ethiopia's Unity

Entrance to Unity Park, in Addis Ababa

The Story of All of Us: Ode to Unity Park in Addis Ababa
Alemayehu G. Mariam

On a partly cloudy January morning
I took a walk in the (Unity) park
There I found His(Her)story with a puzzled look
Asking me curiously,

“Do you know?”

On these grounds of power and glory
In this place of honor and shame
Where hope and despair tangled to the bitter end
Is written the Story of All of Us.

“Do you know?”

In this place of sadness and joy
On these grounds where victory was conceived and defeat born
Where horror, terror and torture were hid in a dungeon
Is written the Story of All of Us.

“Do you know?”

On these grounds of promises made and promises broken
In this place of truth and deceit
Inscribed on the ancient granite walls
Is the Story of All of Us.

“Do you know?”

On these grounds of virtue and vice
In this place of darkness and light
Where quest turned into conquest
Is written the Story of All of Us.

“Do you know?”

On these grounds where trees stand tall
In this place where they stood silent sentry for a century
New flowers today sing in dazzling colors
And write the Story of All of Us.

Do you know?

On these grounds where our leaders prayed and sinned
In this place where they plotted and schemed
Did they forge one nation indivisible
Is written the Story of All of Us.

“Do you know?”

On these grounds where we founded our nation’s capital
In this place where our ancestors came together in wisdom and folly
To do dastardly deeds and recite sublime poetry
Is written the Story of All of Us in blood, sweat, tears and laughter.

Answered I to His(Her)story:

Now is the time to turn a page
To inscribe a new chapter filled with hope and optimism
To affirm in this hallowed park the sanctity of our unity
To boldly declare our humanity in our diversity.

Answered I to His(Her)story:

Now is the time to write the new Story of All of Us
To sing out loud our songs of peace, prosperity and unity
Rebuild our City Upon a Hill amidst a bed of new flowers
Then let our “sons and your daughters prophesy, our young men see visions, and our old men dream dreams”

Answered I to His(Her)story:

Somewhere ages and ages from now
A generation will walk in Unity Park and sigh in relief and pride:
“Thank God, our ancestors seized the moment
On two roads that diverged in the night
They took the road marked ‘Peace and Prosperity’
Made a right turn on a road named “Reconciliation and Forgiveness”
And that has made all the difference in the Story of All of Us!”

"Better Positioning Addis Ababa"

[Click "See More" for English Translation]

In May 2019, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed hosted the ‘Dine for Sheger’ initiative to mobilise funds for city projects aimed at better positioning Addis Ababa as an urban tourism site. In a short one year period since the activity, both Sheger and Entoto parks are near completion; have created many jobs; are facilitating service economies and changing the look and feel of the city.

Update: Kidist Foods - Some Background on Implementation

Presentation at the United Nations
NGO Committee on the Status of Women Conference 61, New York, 2017
Kidist Foods Cookbook Presentation for
Economic Self-Sufficiency of Young Ethiopian Women

I presented a paper at the 2017 UN Commission on the Status of Women workshop: "Empowering African Women to Lead with Renewable Energy: Training for Homes and Community-Based Enterprises."

My topic was under the general heading: "Key Terms in the Human Effects of Changing Environments: Fostering Greater Economic Empowerment for Women and Girls." and a sub-theme - "Women's Economic Empowerment in the Changing World of Work."

My presentation centered around Ethiopian urban women. I discussed the potential of these urban, poor, women to engage in cooking enterprises. And I also discussed a small Ethiopian cookbook as part of a means to fund these enterprises.

This all eventually became the Kidist Foods project, which includes the book and other proceed-generating items (an apron, for example).

My presentation simply recounted a "story" of a poor, Ethiopian woman from Addis Ababa, and how through her skills, she could start to become economically self-sufficient for herself and her family. I also presented my ideas on the cookbook project.

As a side note, the workshop was almost cancelled because of an unexpected snow storm, which left many "international" travelers stranded, and the workshop room empty. The audience that grouped together was from the rounds the programmer made to the various rooms, and those waiting for their event to start. We had Afghani and Indian women in our "African" event.

I braved the elements, and didn't cancel my trip from Toronto.

It was interesting that a few young women (one Indian, another if I remember correctly, from Kenya) came up to me after the workshop to ask me some questions.

The room was receptive to my presentation.

"Maren" - "Have Mercy On Us"

Email to Chuck Baldwin

From: reclaimbeauty@gmail.com
To: office@chuckbaldwinlive.com
Sent: Sunday, August 9, 2020
Subject: Article: We Are Facing The Greatest Assault On Our Civil Liberties In Our Lifetimes

Dear Mr. Baldwin,

I read your column "We Are Facing The Greatest Assault On Our Civil Liberties In Our Lifetimes" where you quote Dr. Ron Paul's article "Empire is the Root of the US-China Hostilities."

Please read my article, Liberty, Taxes and Hypocrisy, on China's "new imperialism," which is far worse than the US hegemony of the past several decades. I would even say the the US has had a beneficent effect on the world as a whole.

China's "imperialism" will be far more war-prone than the US ever was (for example, China is helping build naval bases in Somalia, giving it access to the Horn of Africa and the Indian Ocean), and it induces devastating economic effects around the globe, and especially in Africa. There will be no "free market" under China's rule.

I have explained this at my website Reclaiming Beauty, in my article Liberty, Taxes and Hypocrisy.

Sincerely,

Kidist Paulos Asrat

Synergy Schools

PM Abiy, with his wife First Lady Zinash, holds a check of over 110 million Ethiopian Birr, which he is donating to build schools.

PM Abiy obtained over 110 million Ethiopian Birr from the sales of his book Medemer (Synergy).

In Medemer

...the prime minister advocates for a fresh, Ethiopian-centric approach to the country's politics, citing the past

From PM Abiy's Facebook page:

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed handed over a cheque in the amount of one hundred and ten million, six hundred and seventy-one thousand, twenty-five Ethiopian Birr to First Lady Zinash Tayachew, who received the money on behalf of her office for the construction of schools in parts of the country where communities are experiencing a challenge in access to education.

The money is a a first installment amount collected from the book sale of the Amharic and Afaan Oromo versions of Medemer.

Making remarks during the handover ceremony, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed shared, “we not only make promises but we also execute accordingly and thus feel extremely happy."

Liberty, Taxes and Hypocrisy

Delegates applaud as Chinese President Xi Jinping arrives for the opening session of China's National People's Congress (NPC) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, May 22, 2020. [Source]

I've been reading Ron Paul's website to get updates on COVID-19. Paul is a medical doctor. He is also a Libertarian.

According to Encyclopaedia Britannica. He...

served as a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives (1976–77, 1979–85, 1997–2013) and who unsuccessfully ran as the 1988 Libertarian presidential candidate. He later sought the Republican nomination for president in 2008 and 2012.

[...]

He retired from the House in January 2013, at the age of 77.

Here is Paul's political position on defense on his Wikipedia entry:

Paul has advocated for a noninterventionist foreign policy. He advocates withdrawal from the United Nations, and from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, for reasons of maintaining strong national sovereignty.

He voted for the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists in response to the September 11 attacks, but suggested war alternatives such as authorizing the president to grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal targeting specific terrorists. An opponent of the Iraq War and potential war with Iran, he has also criticized neoconservatism and U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, arguing that both inadvertently cause terrorist reprisals against Americans, such as the 9/11 attacks. Paul has stated that "Israel is our close friend" and that it is not the place of the United States to "dictate how Israel runs her affairs".

And here is Paul's latest statement on US-China relations, under the article Empire is the Root of US-China Hostilities [Source: Ron Paul's official website]:

Meanwhile, China was doing things completely differently. A couple of decades ago, the Chinese communist regime began loosening its economic restrictions on the economic activity of the Chinese people. Consequently, there was tremendous amount of wealth accruing in society and also growing standards of living. That, in turn, increased tax revenues for the Chinese government.

Thus, while the US government was making friends around the world through force of arms and hostility, the Chinese government and Chinese citizens were making friends around the world through investments, grants, and loans. This included countries in Latin America, where the US Empire has left a dark legacy of military intervention.

Moreover, war weakens a nation from within. As the US Empire was now engaged in a policy of perpetual war, it knew that China, although still weighed down with a large amount of socialism, was gaining strength.

That’s when US officials knew that they had a problem on their hands — an empire problem. That’s when they, and their supporters in the mainstream press, began referring to China as a “rival,” an “opponent,” an “adversary,” a “competitor,” aand even an “enemy.”

At that point, the objective became to strike at China before it grew any stronger and threatened the worldwide dominion and hegemony of the US Empire.

That’s what President Trump’s trade war was all about — to bring China down a peg, even if it hurt American producers and consumers in the process. That’s also what US sanctions on China and Chinese enterprises, such as Huawei are all about. It’s what the criminal prosecution of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou is all about. It’s why Trump is considering banning the Chinese social network TikTok from the United States.

Of course, the Covid-19 crisis did US officials a big favor by adding significantly to China’s economic woes.

This is extraordinary, coming from a "libertarian":

Libertarianism (from Latin: libertas, meaning "freedom") is a political philosophy and movement that upholds liberty as a core principle. Libertarians seek to maximize political freedom and autonomy, emphasizing individualism, freedom of choice and voluntary association. [Source]

In criticizing American politics, Paul chose a closed, communist country, whose leaders have not denounced their Communist principles.

The "liberty" he is talking about is "tax freedom." Here's an excerpt from the article Empire is the Root of US-China Hostilities:

A couple of decades ago, the Chinese communist regime began loosening its economic restrictions on the economic activity of the Chinese people. Consequently, there was tremendous amount of wealth accruing in society and also growing standards of living. That, in turn, increased tax revenues for the Chinese government.

Who exactly is benefiting from these "increased tax revenues?" The rural communities?

Forget all the other activities, including holding hostage Canadian citizens, as a retaliation against Canada for arresting Chinese spy, Huawei's Meng Wanzhou.

Paul comes from a stance of hating America enough that he is willing to sell out to the Chinese. Paul hypocritically writes about American "imperialism" when he neglects to inform his readers that China, for the past ten years or so, has been out on an imperialistic mission in Africa through Ethiopia, building bridges, roads, housing and commercial complexes, and other infrastructure, under China's "One Belt, One Road" global strategy, as a means to infiltrate the country, and the rest of Africa. Most of these programs are "funded" through "loans," more precisely, unpayable loans, with built-in country asset seizures, provided by the Chinese government.

Here are some hard questions:

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is nothing if not vague. Is it a blanket term for all Chinese overseas economic, social and political activities? Is it a specific set of coordinated policy that’s exclusive to Beijing-led international endeavors? What projects are officially Belt and Road? Where do the corridors actually go? What countries are truly participating? Nearly seven years into the initiative, we are still asking these questions as Beijing attempts to wrangle back its message from private firms and enterprising governments that have unscrupulously been using the Belt and Road brand for their own gains, dragging its reputation through the proverbial mud and putting the future of the initiative in jeopardy.
[Source: China is Losing Support for its Belt and Road Initiative]

If China cannot even assure the vast majority of its population the semblance of a good life, free from toil and broken backs, what business has it "doing business" in Africa?

Had Paul and his ilk more love for their own country, for America, then covert giants like China would have not found a foothold in the African continent. Instead, America could have found strong allies in Africa.

Still, in an optimistic note, with all the global issues hovering around China, and all the failed, incomplete, and unpayable BRI project initiated through (very) high interest loans, astute African leaders are looking elsewhere for their alliances.

Paul left medicine to become a politician. Had he not, he would have been an invaluable member of the anti-COVID voice. Instead, he touts the COVID-strategy of China where most likely the COVID "virus" was originally manufactured. And where the majority of Chinese, COVID or no COVID, remain in poverty.

Fast-Tracking Forced Vaccinations

Trump Fast-Tracking Forced Vaccinations
Chuck Balwdin
ChuckBaldwinLive.com

Donald Trump is, once again, showing his true colors: He is in the process of fast-tracking forced vaccinations for the coronavirus.

The narrative that corona poses a serious health risk to the vast majority of people under the age of 80 who have a normal, healthy immune system is a bald-faced lie. As a preacher, I’ll go so far as to say that it’s a lie from the pits of Hell.

Many people in the medical and research industries are now coming forward with documentation to prove that the CDC/Fauci/Gates/White House/mainstream media narrative on corona is a total and absolute fraud, and the only people who don’t see it are people who don’t want to see it—or people who have a vested interest in not seeing it.

Here is University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Chair of Emergency Medicine, Dr. Donald Yealy:

A UPMC doctor on Thursday made a case the death rate for people infected with the new coronavirus may be as low as 0.25% — far lower than the mortality rates of 2-4% or even higher cited in the early days of the pandemic.

Dr. Donald Yealy based it partly on studies of levels of coronavirus antibodies detected in people in New York and California, and partly on COVID-19 deaths in the Pittsburgh region. The studies found that 5-20% of people had been exposed to the coronavirus, with many noticing only mild illness or none at all, he said.

“We’ve learned that way more people, far, far more people have actually been exposed to the infection without any knowledge of it. That makes the overall death rate much lower,” said Yealy, who is UPMC’s chair of emergency medicine. “Many people just didn’t feel sick at all and recovered without difficulty.”

Yealy said only 2% of the UPMC system’s 5,500 beds are occupied by COVID-19 patients and the number of new COVID-19 patients is declining.

He cited that figure in explaining UPMC’s plans to quickly increase its volume of the non-emergency surgeries that were largely banned to conserve beds and supplies for COVID-19 patients. The ban is now being eased as the volume of COVID-19 patients falls short of worst-case predictions.

When I gave Dr. Annie Bukacek the podium at Liberty Fellowship and she blew the whistle on the way the CDC was encouraging (or even insisting) that physicians fudge corona deaths upward on death certificates, it opened the floodgates of testimony from medical professionals. Now, physicians, researchers and scientists all over America are exposing corona for the hoax that it is. (The reason the rest of them are not speaking out is probably because they are under contract with the hospitals, and their positions could be terminated.)

For example, on April 16, 2020, the CDC and its propaganda lackeys in the mainstream media reported corona deaths as being 54,217. But when you look deeper at the CDC statistics, you find that deaths from corona on that date were actually only 11,356 (and that’s including the fudged numbers). The 54,000 figure that they were publishing were deaths attributed to bacterial pneumonia, influenza OR corona. That means, of course, 4/5 of the people whose stated cause of death was corona actually died with complications of pneumonia and/or influenza, but corona was listed as the sole cause of death.

See also this report from New York City funeral directors who are exposing the Fauci fraud.

Now, on the heels of this kind of medical fraud and media manipulation, Donald Trump is fast-tracking Operation Warp Speed that will enact mandatory vaccinations.

President Donald Trump now has a new goal: Operation Warp Speed. That’s a partnership with “pharmaceutical companies and the military” in a rush to create a coronavirus vaccine that will be mandatory. He’s stepping into Bill Gates’ shoes.

According to a report by Bloomberg, the Trump administration is organizing a Manhattan Project-style effort to drastically cut the time needed to develop a coronavirus vaccine, with the goal of making enough doses for most Americans by year’s end. Instead of eliminating the police state and tyranny, Trump is doing the opposite. He’s now sided with Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci making him complicate [sic] in the removal of people’s basic human rights.

It’s time to call a spade a spade, and a tyrant a tyrant. Brian from the YouTube channel High Impact Flix detailed the problems with vaccine [sic] and how quickly Trump pivoted to help the biggest and most corrupt pharmaceutical companies in the world.

“I wanna ask you a question. Are you really against vaccines? Are you against government-subsidized, taxpayer-funded, pharmaceutical benefiting, Bill Gates supported, vaccines? Now let me ask you this question: are you for or against Donald Trump? Are you for or against Barack Obama? Do you suffer from cognitive dissonance? Are you trying to hold two mutually exclusive and diametrically opposed ideas or beliefs in your minds at the same time?”

The mainstream media is now saying this is a good thing, Trump is doing the right thing, and their reporting of it should concern anyone who wants the freedom to decide what goes into their body. At 2:28 in the above video, there is a clip of Trump saying people “have to take the shot” and get the vaccination.

“Wait ’til you see the name of the operation…I thought ‘no way. No. It can’t be this blatant.’ And if this is true, there’s no way people are still gonna be for Trump after this...Called Operation Warp Speed, the project will join pharmaceutical companies and with government agencies and THE MILITARY...they’re all in bed together, guys!

We’ve known this! Now, they’re just putting it in our faces! ‘Look, see? Here’s that thing you can do about it! We’re gonna get the vaccine going! You’re gonna have to have vaccine certifications!'”

Brian doesn’t mince words:

“Are you really still for Master Trump? You know people were checked out. You guys who are for Trump now, you call people who were for Obama, the signing of the NDAA and the resigning of the Patriot Act under Obama, you said: ‘oh that’s that’s tyranny! This is a tyrant! He’s acting in a despotic manner!’ You were right. But then Trump comes along and does the same thing…just like Obama did. SILENCE!…Cuz everybody that supports Trump that was against Obama…are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites and that’s why our country and our world is goin’ down.

Because people are not gonna stand fast on, and hold firm to the truth!

What has the world come to?”

This news isn’t going to sit well with some, but we have to be steadfast when it comes to our rights and our freedom. We need to know what these people who declare themselves our rulers are planning to do to us. Trump is pushing the elitists’ agenda for ID2020. Do you still support Trump after this?

If you need more, here is a video clip showing Donald Trump taking full credit for the Operation Warp Speed mandatory vaccination program. Watch Trump (first minute of the video) boast “I’m in charge” of Operation Warp Speed.

You are reading it right: Donald Trump is authorizing the merger of Big Pharma and the U.S. military to FORCE the American people to be vaccinated for a virus that is itself a global hoax. All of this is to please the power elite, especially billionaire globalist Bill Gates and globalist mad scientist Anthony Fauci.

Bobby Kennedy, Jr. is telling us in no uncertain terms that this forced-vaccination scheme is going to put billions of dollars into the corrupt, criminal coffers of Fauci and Gates:

Bobby Kennedy Jr. was on a podcast this past week where he dropped some bombs about the perils of vaccinations. In his interview at the 50:00 minute mark, Kennedy shares the following:

You have the Vaccine Act of 86. Now you have a project that has no liability so they have no incentive to make it safe. Not only that they don’t have to test it and in fact they have an incentive not to test it because the only way you can get sued under the Vaccine Act is if you can show that the company knew of an injury and didn’t list it on the manufacturer’s insert.

So there’s an incentive to know as little about the product as possible. And, you can’t sue them, and there’s no market force that keeps them in check. Because you can say that the vaccine is mandated for 78 million kids. And, so the industry got together and manufacturers said, holy cow, now we have a product that has no liability, and that’s the biggest cost for drugs. So they said, number one, we don’t have to test it, that’s a huge cost avoided. Number two, there’s no liability and that’s the biggest cost avoided. Number three, there’s no marketing or advertising costs, because it’s mandated. So it’s just like printing money.

If you can get a vaccine on the CDC’s recommended schedule it averages about a billion dollars annually in pure profits for your company. When I was a kid I got three vaccines and was fully compliant and today’s kids get 72 vaccines.

At the 59:00 minute mark, Kennedy shares the money and connections between Dr. Fauci and the Gates Foundation:

Tony Fauci has many, many vaccine patents… and there’s one vaccine patent that he has that is a way of packaging a coronavirus with some other vaccine … in a protein sheet… and then delivering it through a vaccine… he somehow ended up owning that patent… Tony Fauci will be able to cash in …. So Fauci’s agency will collect half the royalties for that vaccine [related to the coronavirus].

If professing Christians and conservatives continue to stand by Donald Trump and accept his plan of forced vaccinations, it will be the death of the Bill of Rights and freedom in America. And that is no exaggeration.

This plan will doubtless include medical tracking (read: total government surveillance over our lives, including every person we contact and every place we go) and medical certificates (read: government papers or skin implantations or even readable components included in the vaccine itself) as a condition of working or traveling and perhaps even buying and selling.

While brainwashed Scofield dispensationalists were worshipping the antichrist State of Israel and standing around waiting for a Christian Zionist pre-tribulation “rapture” fairytale, America was plunging into a true tyrannical tribulation with the hellish trinity of Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci and Donald Trump leading the charge—and Christians didn’t even seem to notice.

CHRISTIANS, WAKE UP!

We are not talking about politics. We are talking about our children’s future. We are talking about our right to work, our right to travel, our right to live free, our right to freely worship. We are talking about truth and justice. We are talking about our Constitution and Bill of Rights. We are talking about our very existence.

You can cuss me all you want. But I’m not the one trying to enslave you. I’m not the one trying to give you the “mark of the beast.” I’m not the one trying to take away your right to work and travel without government permission. I’m not the one trying to force you and your children to be injected with who knows what kinds of chemicals. But Bill Gates and Tony Fauci are doing exactly that, and they are doing it with Trump’s help. In fact, they cannot do it without him.

It’s time to stop getting mad at the messenger who’s telling you the truth and start getting mad at these politicians in both parties and the mad scientists in the Big Pharma/medical industrial complex who are trying to become despots and dictators at the expense of our lives and liberties.

If Christian’s don’t stand up NOW against Trump’s forced vaccination plan, they will have no one to blame but themselves for the collapse of freedom—including the freedom of worship—in this country.

P.S. Here is a brief video of my remarks regarding forced vaccinations. The first clip was delivered on March 10, 2019. The second clip was delivered last Sunday, May 3, 2020.

"The Insulted Majority": Big Pharma Vaccine Lies

The Tyrannical Tools of the COVID-19 "Pandemic"

Masks: From Chuck Baldwin's Facebook page

Excerpt from Chuck Baldwin's article on COVID-19 masks and vaccines, and related issues The Mask of the Beast.

Let’s face some hard truth: People such as Gates and Fauci [and Theresa Tam, Canada's Chief Public Health Officer] are evil, wicked monsters. They might even be demon possessed. They have absolutely no conscience about the millions of American [and Canadian] livelihoods and lives they have destroyed, the hundreds of thousands of people they have killed around the world, the fear and terror they have inflicted in the hearts of millions of people, the numbers of senior citizens who are dying alone and isolated from their loved ones, the numbers of people who are not receiving the medical care they need as hospitals and doctors hunker down and wait for a non-existent tsunami of corona cases or the trillions of dollars of debt this phony pandemic has cost the American taxpayers.

And politicians of both parties, who are full of greed and unbridled personal ambition, are seizing the opportunity that this “pandemic” provides to bring millions of dollars into their own election campaigns and increase the size and scope of the unconstitutional power that they are able to wield against a naively trusting and frightened citizenry.

The one bright spot is the way hundreds of sheriffs across the country have risen up against these tyrannical lockdowns, shutdowns and mask orders.

Sheriff Jimmy Thornton from Sampson County [North Carolina] stated in a Facebook post:

“As Sheriff, it is my sworn duty to enforce laws enacted by our legislature, as well as protect the constitutional rights of all citizens.

It is my belief that Governor Cooper’s executive order mandating face coverings by all citizens in public is not only unconstitutional, but unenforceable. My deputies will NOT enforce an executive order that I feel violates the constitutional liberties of citizens."(Source)

[...]

From a spiritual perspective, any Christian who cannot see that these lockdowns, shutdowns and mask orders are nothing more than the tyrannical tools of an antichrist beastly system intent on destroying Liberty in this country is unworthy of the name Christian.

Those masks are the first step in a sequence of brandings for the human chattel that Gates and Company see us as. Forced vaccinations, universal contact tracing, implanted data chips, real-time mass surveillance, a global digital financial system, Artificial Intelligence, forced quarantines, computer-manipulated population reduction, ad infinitum, are coming next.

The Brave New World is here.

Bill Gates has a long and sordid history of vaccine corruption in poor countries around the world. And for those who think Donald Trump is some kind of superhero for defunding WHO, one should know that all Trump did was transfer our taxpayer dollars from WHO to the Bill Gates Vaccine Alliance (GAVI).

What we are now witnessing is the Mask of the Beast. And the fact that most Christians seem blind to its reality means the times of great “falling away” (II Thessalonians 2:3) and “strong delusion” (II Thessalonians 2:11) are also descending upon us.

P.S. I strongly urge readers to go to MontanansUnmasked and sign the petition. Please help us rid our State of this infernal mask order. Thank you.
