Can We Expect The Anointing Of The Messiah This Purim?

By Dr. Rivkah Lambert Adler

February 25, 2019

“For that reason these days were named Purim, after pur. In view, then, of all the instructions in the said letter and of what they had experienced in that matter and what had befallen them,” Esther 9:26 (The Israel Bible™)

According to Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson, a Bible Codes expert, the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Adar, which begins this year at sundown on Wednesday, March 20, is a particularly auspicious time for Moshiach (Messiah) to be anointed.

In a recent Bible Codes video which has already been viewed more than 10,000 times at press time, Rabbi Glazerson explained that the findings in this table “are far away from being coincidence.” In the case of this table, it’s because the codes include unusually long sentences and other conditions that make “for a very significant table,” in Rabbi Glazerson’s words.

When the video turns to the table itself, the viewer will notice that Glazerson included English translations of the specific codes, parallel to their approximate location in the Hebrew text.

He opens his explanation of this table with the code for the full Hebrew sentence, “Messiah will be anointed.” This is interesting in part because the word Moshiach in Hebrew literally means the anointed one.
In common usage, the word Moshiach has come to refer to a future man, descended from King David, who will serve as king over Israel and whose rule will include the Messianic Age.
When will Moshiach be anointed? Glazerson pointed to a code that reveals the date of the 14th of Adar. Adar is the Hebrew month that falls around February or March each year and the 14th of Adar inaugurates the holiday of Purim, which is based on the Book of Esther.

“Consequently, these days are recalled and observed in every generation: by every family, every province, and every city. And these days of Purim shall never cease among the Yehudim, and the memory of them shall never perish among their descendants.” Esther 9:28

Strengthening the validity of the table, Glazerson highlights codes for Purim (the holiday), Esther, Mordechai (the heroes of the Book of Esther) and even Hadassah, which is Queen Esther’s original given name.

“He was foster father to Hadassah—that is, Esther—his uncle’s daughter, for she had neither father nor mother. The maiden was shapely and beautiful; and when her father and mother died, Mordechai adopted her as his own daughter.” Esther 2:7

Glazerson called the inclusion of all of these related codes “very significant” because their appearance together in the same table “never come in such a way.”

Given that the 14th of Adar and the holiday of Purim occurs every year, Glazerson showed three other codes that help pinpoint the date more specifically. Going in chronological order, the first is 5776, which was February 23, 2016. The second is 5779, which is the current year in the Hebrew calendar. The third date he found was 5781, corresponding to February 26, 2021. Glazerson emphasized that three dates in one table is “not usual.”
In explaining these dates, he maintained that there is “a process of Messiah that started in 5776.” The appearance of Moshiach in the current year is “dependent on repentance. Only if Jews would keep the Torah, keep the Sabbath, keep everything which God wants them to keep.”
And if Jews don’t repent in time? “There is an end of days. This is the end of days – 5781.”
In other words, he stated that the process of redemption began in 2016, continues this year and, even without full repentance, will end in 2021.

What can we expect on one of those auspicious days? Glazerson pointed out the codes for geula (redemption) and hatzala (rescue).

He concluded by stating that, “All of them coming here in such a clear way teach us that by keeping the Torah, keeping the Shabbos (Sabbath), keeping everything that God really wants us to keep, only then we’ll have Messiah. If not, then we’ll have to wait, unfortunately, for another almost two years.”

ANCIENT ORIGINS

Surprising Discovery that Ashkenazi Jews Descend from Europeans

10 OCTOBER, 2013 – 00:21 APRILHOLLOWAY

A new study published in the leading journal Nature Communications has discovered that Ashkenazi Jews, a Jewish ethnic group who trace their origins to the indigenous tribes of early Israel, have a maternal lineage that comes largely from Europe.

According to the mainstream hypothesis, Jews arrived in central Europe following the Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628, and began settling in Germany during the early Middle Ages. Today, "Ashkenazi Jews" is a descriptive term for descendants of these Jews, including those who established communities in Central and Eastern Europe centuries later. With them, they took and diversified Yiddish, a High German language written using the Hebrew alphabet, and heavily influenced by classical Hebrew and Aramaic.

Though the Ashkenazi Jews have lived in Europe for many centuries, the study’s analysis of DNA samples contradict the belief that most European Jews descend from people who left Israel and the Middle East around 2,000 years ago. Instead, a substantial proportion of the population originates from local Europeans who converted to Judaism, said study co-author Martin Richards, an archaeogeneticist at the University of Huddersfield in England.

A 2006 study found Ashkenazi Jews to be a clear, homogeneous genetic subgroup. Strikingly, regardless of the place of origin, Ashkenazi Jews can be grouped in the same genetic cohort — that is, regardless of whether an Ashkenazi Jew's ancestors came from Poland, Russia, Hungary, Lithuania, or any other place with a historical Jewish population, they belong to the same ethnic group. This is because for roughly a thousand years, the Ashkenazim were a reproductively isolated population in Europe, despite living in many countries, with little inflow or outflow from migration, conversion, or intermarriage with other groups, including other Jews.

For many centuries it has been thought that this ethnic cohort had its origins in Israel and the Near East and some studies seemed to have confirmed this to be true - past research found that 50 to 80% of DNA from the male lineage, originated in the Near East. However, the current study examined maternal DNA which produced a very different result, showing that more than 80 percent of the maternal lineages of Ashkenazi Jews could be traced to Europe, with only a few lineages originating in the Near East.

"This suggests that, even though Jewish men may indeed have migrated into Europe from Palestine around 2000 years ago, they seem to have married European women," states Professor Richards.

In the early years of the Diaspora, it seems that Judaism took in many converts from amongst the European population, but they were mainly recruited from amongst women. Thus, on the female line of descent, the Ashkenazim primarily trace their ancestry to southern and western Europe.

"The origins of the Ashkenazim is one of the big questions that people have pursued again and again and never really come to a conclusive view," said Prof Richards, who has described the new data as "compelling."(Related article)

Israeli Navy ready to block Iranian oil exports in transit – Netanyahu

Published time: 7 Mar, 2019 04:20 Edited time: 7 Mar, 2019 10:10

P>© Instagram / Israeli Navy

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is prepared to throw the power of its naval force – and urges the world to join in – to block the Iranian oil shipments circumventing unilaterally imposed US sanctions against Tehran.

“Iran is trying to bypass the sanctions on it through the covert smuggling of petroleum via the sea. As these attempts expand, the navy will have a more important role in efforts to block these Iranian actions,” Netanyahu said at a navy cadets’ graduation ceremony in Haifa on Wednesday.

Failing to explain how exactly Israel’s relatively small naval force would impose the suggested blockade against Iranian oil tankers, Netanyahu only emphasized that Israeli sailors are well-trained and adept at carrying out sea missions against adversaries.

Washington sanctioned Iran’s oil, shipping and banking industries last November after President Donald Trump pulled out of the 2015 JCPOA ‘Iran Nuclear Deal’ to applause from Israel and to strong objections from the other signatories of the milestone accord and from Tehran’s business partners.

Aiming to reduce Tehran's oil exports to “zero,” the US threatened global oil buyers with secondary sanctions. Then, after the pressure failed to achieve expected results, a handful of countries were granted a special exemption, with Washington generously allowing them to continue buying crude from Tehran, for the time being.

Furious at American bullying tactics, Iran’s armed forces have said they will protect its fleet of oil tankers against any threats that might jeopardize the shipments. Tehran is especially committed to ensuring safe passage through the narrow Strait of Hormuz, which links the Persian Gulf with the rest of the world.

To tackle what it called Iran’s “illicit” economic activity at sea, Israel would need to expand its operating theater. Currently, the country is primarily active in the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea areas. Whether or not such potential Israeli missions would yield success is questionable, as Iran has far mor superior capabilities at sea.

Irish government report recommends removal of crucifixes from Catholic hospitals

Martin M. Barillas

DUBLIN, Ireland, March 1, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — A report prepared by the Irish government calls for Catholic hospitals to remove religious symbols such as crucifixes from their wards where non-Catholics receive treatment.

Released Thursday, the report was issued from a review group led by former European Union official Catherine Day. The group was charged to examine the relationship between the Irish state and voluntary organization, including hospitals operated by the Catholic Church. Currently, there are 12 Catholic hospitals in the Republic of Ireland and all of them receive state funding.

Seven of the hospitals are owned by faith-based organizations, such as religious orders, and five have varying degrees of Church affiliation. Together, the 12 hospitals receive €1.34 billion (approx. $1.5 billion) in government funding, and provide 26 percent of publicly funded inpatient beds.

The report said, “A number of people who responded to the consultation felt that the religious ethos of an organization was apparent in its décor, through the presence of chapels, religious icons, logos and posters. While not directly related to the range or delivery of services, we recommend that organizations should be cognizant of the impact of décor on patients/service users and strive to ensure that their personal preferences in this regard are met to the greatest extent possible.”

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar told NewsTalk FM that the government does not plan to force Catholic hospitals to remove religious symbols from public areas at their facilities. “It’s not a campaign from the government or anyone around removing cribs or crucifixes or statues of Our Lady. That’s not what’s going to happen. But it is a message to charities and voluntary bodies that do run hospitals and schools just to have regard to these things,” he said. “It is the 21st century, things have changed, a lot of patients, a lot of kids aren’t religious, maybe aren’t Roman Catholic, and the ethos of an institution that’s publicly funded should reflect the public, not just any one section of the public,” Varadkar said. He added, "We should have regard to the fact that in modern Ireland there's now a diversity of views on religion and so on."

In addition, the report raised questions over whether the Irish government should continue funding hospitals affiliated with churches that refuse to allow abortions and sterilizations or prescribe contraceptives. The report also calls on all organizations that refuse such services to refer patients where they can receive those services, even if it violates their reigning ethos. The independent review of government-funded health services calls for restructuring of charities providing the health services.

The review group, chaired by former secretary-general of the European Commission Catherine Day, was asked to examine the relationship between the state and Church-run hospitals. The report found no difference in the quality of care provided by hospitals with religious ethos and those with none. It did not find discrimination on the basis of faith in any of the Catholic hospitals.

In emergency situations, the report says the life and well-being of patients must always take precedence over the ethos of the religious organization. With the legalization of abortion in Ireland, the question arises over whether the government should fund hospitals that refuse to provide "full range of lawful services by reference to their religious ethos." Whether or not independently owned faith-based healthcare organizations are constitutionally within their rights to manage their own affairs has not yet been determined by the Supreme Court of Ireland, the report contends.

While the report said the government has the right to defund religiously-affiliated health organizations, it admitted that doing so would cause a "serious and prolonged disruption" to health services. It is a “political rather than a legal” decision, the report said, whether to stop government funding, because of the extent of health services provided by Catholic hospitals in Cork, Dublin, and Limerick.

Therefore, the report recommended that the government should draft a list of essential health services to be provided by the voluntary or private sector or directly through the public healthcare system. This would permit the Irish government to move from a provider-focused service to a system where the government commissions or buys health services it requires from organizations based on regional needs. "This would of course not preclude any organization, whether voluntary, public or private, from providing additional services but these would not automatically be funded by the state," the report said

Jesus is stone-cold killer in new graphic novel

March 3, 2019

What’s the last taboo?

Maybe it’s the new graphic novel from Image Comics, publisher of “The Walking Dead” series and other hits – “Jesusfreak,” in which Jesus of Nazareth is portrayed as a stone-cold killer.

Oh, and by the way, it comes out just in time for Lent.

The previews show the Messiah beheading foes with a whirling sword.

Promotional material explains: “The year is 26 C.E. A young Nazarean carpenter is having some trouble adjusting to the violent world around him – and finding his place within it. He knows he’s different, but he doesn’t know why. Not yet, anyway. A bloody, two-fisted tale of historical heroic fiction …”

Reports say the publisher is banking on blasphemy protests to propel sales.

“‘Jesusfreak’ is less inspired by any strict religious traditions and is instead more concerned with exploring the unique tension that exists between depicting a mythical figure and a historical figure – a tension that is compounded when, for many, they’re considered the same person,” said Joe Casey, the writer, when the project was first announced.

“It’s also a chance for [co-writer Benjamin] Marra and I to indulge in a specific style of hard-pulp storytelling that we think perfectly fits this material.”

The release follows an announcement of plans by another comic publisher, DC Vertigo, to release “Second Coming,” in which Jesus learns how to be Messiah from a comic action figure named Sun-Man.

As WND reported, the publishing project was scrapped recently after petitions, protests and negative coverage.

Yet, another publisher is considering it.

The Denver Airport Installs a Talking Gargoyle That Says “Welcome to the Illuminati Headquarters”

The Denver International Airport installed a talking animatronic gargoyle that pokes fun at the “Illuminati” conspiracies surrounding the airport. When one understands the true purpose of gargoyles, the “conspiracy” only gets thicker.

March 5, 2019

The Denver International Airport (DIA) is a creepy place and it keeps getting creepier. If you read my 2008 article Sinister Sites: The Denver Internation Airport, you already know about its demonic horse that killed its creator, its Masonic plate saying “New World Airport Commission” and its horrific murals depicting a genocide.

All of these bizarre things and more lead to “conspiracies” regarding the airport and its possible secret purpose. What’s up with the bizarre markings on the floor? Why did they build a massive tunnel system underneath the airport? And, of course, why are there gargoyles looking over travelers?

Instead of providing taxpayers rational explanations about the airport they have to use, the DIA launched recently launched a media campaign poking fun at the conspiracies surrounding the airport. And that campaign was weird.

This year, the DIA decided to take the weirdness to yet another level by installing a talking animatronic gargoyle that surprises travelers with sassy jokes and comments. The airport posted a video on YouTube showcasing this thing that probably cost a whole lot of taxpayer money.

In the video the gargoyle says to one passenger:

“Welcome to the Illuminati Headquarters, I mean, Denver International Airport!

In another hilarious bit, it says:

“Well, I’m 243 years old now”.

If you do the math, that means that the gargoyle was born in 1776. The Bavarian Illuminati was founded in 1776. The video ends with classic Illuminati imagery.

The question that is begging to be asked is: WHY? Why is there a creepy, horned demon talking to people who are trying to catch a flight?

A spokesperson of the DIA told Fox News:

“DEN is known for the conspiracies about our airport, and we wanted to find a playful way to embrace the conspiracies. We always strive to win the hearts of our passengers by giving them the unexpected. We hope the gargoyle gave them all a good belly laugh, and more reason to want to travel through DEN.”

As one commentator stated: “If there is one place in the world you don’t want anything unexpected is a place where you get into a crowded tube with jet engines and go way up in the sky”. Furthermore, do airports actually require marketing campaigns? I mean, people go to airports because they have to. There is no airport competition.

In a somewhat bizarre tweet (for an international airport), the DIA claims that the gargoyle celebrates the airport’s 24th anniversary.

That barely makes sense. And why are they celebrating a 24th birthday? That’s not a milestone. More importantly, why a gargoyle?

What’s a Gargoyle?

The actual origin and purpose of gargoyles are somewhat vague and mysterious. However, these “stone demons” tend to appear in highly esoteric places. For instance, the most famous gargoyles in the world are probably those perching at the top of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. This famous landmark was built by the Knight Templars (an occult order of the Middle-Ages) and is replete with esoteric symbolism.

While the common explanation of gargoyles is that “they ward off evil”, occult researchers agree that the truth is infinitely deeper.

“The most impressive thing about the art of the gargoyle is that in the medieval world it is possible to similarities in design, if not in style, between forms built as far apart as northern Scotland and southern Spain. The modern loss of the ancient esoteric lore has meant that much of the significance of these fascinating figures is now unrecognized, though there are often strange survivals which are clearly influenced by grimoire litterature, or which have esoteric or magical inscriptions or sigils as, for example, the extraordinary collection on the walls of the parish church in the Lancastrian town of Littleborough.”
– Fred Gettings, Dictionary of Demons

Eliphas Levi, one of the most influential occultists in the Western world, wrote in his famous book Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie that gargoyles are one of the many faces of the “terrible emperor of night”.

“We recur once more to that terrible number fifteen, symbolized in the Tarot by a monster throned upon an altar, mitred and horned, having a woman’s breasts and the generative organs of a man – a chimera, a malformed sphinx, a synthesis of deformities. Below this figure we read a frank and simple inscription – THE DEVIL. Yes, we confront here that phantom of all terrors, the dragon of all theogonies, the Ahriman of the Persians, the Typhon of the Egyptians, the Python of the Greeks, the old serpent of the Hebrews, the fantastic monster, the nightmare, the Croquemitaine, the gargoyle, the great beast of the Middle Ages, and – worse than all these – the Baphomet of the Templars, the bearded idol of the alchemist, the obscene deity of Mendes, the goat of the Sabbath. The frontispiece to this “Ritual” reproduces the exact figure of the terrible emperor of night, with all his attributes and all his characters.”

In short, gargoyles perfectly represent occultism. To the profane, these grotesque creatures are mere “decorations”. To the initiates, they represent the dark demonic forces that can be found in the spiritual world – if one knows how to deal with it.

For all of these reasons, installing a gargoyle at the DIA makes perfect sense.

‘Aggressive promotion of homosexuality’: School stops LGBT lessons after backlash from angry parents

Published time: 5 Mar, 2019 11:58

A primary school in Birmingham, England, has halted LGBT lessons after 600 pupils were reportedly taken out of classes by furious Muslim parents upset at homosexuality being “aggressively” taught to their children.

Parkfield Community School has been forced to suspend its ‘No Outsiders’ classes until after Easter, while a consultation takes place with parents. Tensions between the school and parents have escalated due to a row surrounding LGBT lifestyles being taught in classrooms.

The ill-feeling from angry parents has even boiled over into threats against the assistant headteacher Andrew Moffat MBE, who is gay. He claims to have received “nasty emails” including one which warned he “wouldn’t last long.”

The primary school, which has around 740 pupils, is located in a predominantly Muslim area. It has come under fire from Muslim parents for implementing an LGBT programme which seeks to challenge homophobia, because homosexuality is strictly forbidden in Islam.

According to Alum Rock Community Forum, children were removed from classes over the school’s “undermining of parental rights and aggressively promoting homosexuality.”

The forum added that despite repeated petitions, protests and dialogue instigated by parents, they have been “arrogantly ignored.”

In a letter to parents, the trustee board of Excelsior Multi Academy Trust, which runs the school, confirmed lessons would be halted until the end of April.

Moffat had been piloting the programme, which had been running in parallel with sex and relationship education (SRE) lessons.

Books about same sex marriage including King & King and Mommy, Mama and Me were just some of the books being read to children.

Fingerprint and retinal security scans to be replaced with new biometric tool that scans, constantly monitors your heart using electromagnetic radiation

Friday, March 01, 2019 by: Vicki Batts

(Natural News) The world of technology may be a modern marvel, but each innovation seems to come with its own increasingly hefty price tag. The cost of personal privacy, in particular, has come to be a top concern — whether it be in the realm of social media or the latest password technology. Retinal and fingerprint security scans have drawn ire for being an invasion of personal privacy, as well as the tremendous risks they pose. If and when information gets stolen, conventional passwords can be changed with relative ease; fingerprints and retinas, not so much. But now, it looks like scans of eyes and fingers may be a thing of the past.

Instead, developers are now looking to use the dimensions of the human heart for the next security measurement. Just in case having your cellphone scan your face wasn’t creepy enough — now they want to scan your heart.

Scientists at the University of Buffalo have pioneered the latest tech security effort which would use the dimensions of your heart to confirm your identity. But that’s not all: Sources say that the technology wouldn’t just run one scan for confirmation. Instead, low-level Doppler radar would be used to continuously monitor your heart to make sure you’re still there. Eventually, this Doppler tech may make its way into smartphones and airports.

Lead study author Wenyao Xu, Ph.D. and assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering in UB’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, claims that users shouldn’t be concerned about the radiation. According to Xu, the average cell phone emits more radiation than the heart-scanning system. “We are living in a Wi-Fi surrounding environment every day, and the new system is as safe as those Wi-Fi devices. The reader is about 5 milliwatts, even less than 1 percent of the radiation from our smartphones,” he contended. You might say the safety of any device that emits radiation is up for debate, however.

The team plans on unveiling their new technology at the upcoming 23rd Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Communication (MobiCom) in Utah. According to the inventors, their version of biometric scanning will be “safer” than the fingerprint and retinal scans currently in use. Xu commented, “We would like to use it for every computer because everyone needs privacy.” Apparently, these days, computers monitoring your heartbeat while you work constitutes some perverted form of “privacy.” It’s a chilling thought, isn’t it?

Real privacy in the world of tech has been under attack for quite some time now; it often seems like the true meaning of the word has been lost over the years, as companies continue to push the boundaries of what kinds of information they can coax the masses into giving up. Smart TVs, cell phones and other “smart” devices have made sure of that. And with every new innovation, there seems to be another nail in privacy’s not-so-private coffin.

Further, it would seem this new technology would suffer from the same issues as fingerprinting and retinal scans. Once an account is hacked, there is little to no recourse for the user whose information has been stolen. Changing the dimensions of your heart would undoubtedly be a rather difficult undertaking – but once those measurements are stolen, it could open doors for hackers, who often seem to be one step ahead of cybersecurity measures.

AMAZON: The Biggest Joint CIA-Corporate Covert Operation in U.S. History

Posted on March 6, 2019 by State of the Nation

There’s a very good reason why they named it AMAZON!

State of the Nation

Just like Walmart was used to take over the American retail industry after it was incorporated in October of 1969, Amazon was actually established to completely dominate the Internet-based retail industry, which it has successfully done.

As of January 31, 2019, Walmart has 11,348 stores and clubs in 27 countries, operating under 55 different names.[1]

Not only did Walmart put hundreds of thousands of “mom and pops” out of business across America, the retail giant greatly diminished both access and choice for the shopper in the pre-Internet Age.

Amazon

Do you really think that the very name — A M A Z O N — wasn’t chosen with purposeful design?

Not only is this joint C.I.A.-Corporate venture a stone-cold black operation, it’s also a massive psyop that only gets bigger by the day.

How so?

Well, once again, the American retail sector has been collapsed with stores and malls closing around the country at breakneck speed.

Where Walmart effectively functioned as an F5 tornado for small rural communities everywhere, Amazon is rapidly morphing into a Cat 5 mega-hurricane—NATIONWIDE.

Amazon went from a company that did not make a cent for many years and literally operated at a loss, to becoming “the most valuable public company in the world after passing Microsoft” in 2019.

Not only that, but Amazon’s business model was set up and structured from the get-go as an octopus innervating and interpenetrating every segment of the corporate sector.

The bottom line here is that Amazon can act like the 800-pound gorilla, who sits anywhere it wants to, because it was made that way. Just watch the drama being acted out in New York City with the withdrawal of Amazon’s proposition to set up shop there. What a complete joke… on everyone except Deep State.

Kabuki theater

The hidden back story to that AOC debacle in NYC is that it’s all Kabuki theater being deliberately staged so that every community in United States is aware that Amazon is very serious … and not to be messed with…by anyone. They will always get what they want because it’s a full-blown government-corporate operation.

Now see stage right and the melodramatic Jeff Bezos–Lauren Sanchez “Peyton Place” being staged with maximum effect. In this case, the wife is the real covert CIA operative who everyone is missing. Not only was she the real brains behind Amazon, she’s also the handler—Bezos’ handler. See exactly how this is done at the link below.

Anyone who thinks that MacKenzie S. Bezos is just an innocent girl being pushed out of her marriage to billionaire Bezos ought to consider the true MO behind every major start-up that is born in a DARPA lab.

By the way, how does a guy like Jeff Bezos come to own the primary organ of the CIA’s Mockingbird Media … … … except by purposeful design—EXTREMELY PURPOSEFUL?!

Likewise, how does Amazon come to take over the cloud computing market in a day and a night? Talk about a major Big Brother move to lock down the cloud space! Now Amazon is going after logistics: Amazon took over the $176 billion market for cloud computing. Now it’s using the same playbook in logistics.

All of these enormous moves throughout Corporate America reflect the covert scheme to significantly concentrate corporate power and influence in the hands of just a few corporations as well as a few company CEOs /presidents / business magnates.

Even the main metrics gauging the success of the markets indicate that, in 2019, it all comes down to the AAAA — Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, AT&T — as well as Walmart, Microsoft, Facebook, Exxon Mobil, and a few other corporate behemoths that were also set up as government-corporate enterprises from the very beginning.

Command & Control

The real problem that emerges time and time again with all of these corporate monsters is that they eat everything in sight so that they can monopolistically control the marketplace—EVERY MARKETPLACE, either directly and/or indirectly.

However, it’s the marketplace of ideas and innovation that really suffers at the hands of these CIA-controlled control freaks. Who does not see the draconian control that Big Social Media currently exerts on our freedom of speech? Both Facebook and Twitter shut down anyone’s voice they care not to hear, as does the ever-censoring Google.

What follows is just one chilling example of the way that Amazon is being used to terminate any and all dissent in the USA against the detrimental and sometimes deadly super-vaccination agenda.

Now here are two other glaring examples of Amazon censorship that ought to concern every reader in America. And, this pattern is only getting more frequent and audacious by the month, just as Facebook and Twitter are recklessly terminating user accounts right and left for doing nothing but exercising free speech.

Not only are extremely important ideas eliminated with a single keystroke by the Sultans of Silicon Valley, so are people who oppose the New World Order agenda. As owner of The Washington Post, Bezos is notorious for taking down any enemy of Deep State in a D.C. moment. See: C.I.A. Pawn Jeff Bezos Uses WashPo to Smear Political Opponents of Deep State

How did Bezos even come to own the WAPO in the first place? The same way his grandfather was mysteriously made the President of Monsanto. BLOCKBUSTER: Jeff Bezos’ Grandfather Was President of Monsanto

Everything points to the Bezos family as being one of those C.I.A. families that goes back generations. The is the type of family who will take orders from TPTB and unquestionably carry out those orders no matter what the consequences to people and planet. In and of themselves, they wield no real power, but are wittingly used as agents of Deep State and operatives of the U.S. Intelligence Community—24/7.

In this regard, Bezos is nothing but a C.I.A. contractor whose main job is to expand and solidify the reach of The Company (as the C.I.A. is known in intelligence circles) worldwide. Pretty soon Amazon will be as pervasive and powerful, internationally, as Walmart is and as Coca Cola once was on the ground.

KEY POINT: Very few really understand but the primary reason why the C.I.A. is called The Company is because they [COMPLETELY] control Corporate America. You can’t even become a corporate CEO and/or President without being a card-carrying CIA agent or contractor. The Fortune 1000 companies are populated with so many CIA spooks in top management that they can be counted on to carry out the CIA’s multifarious covert agenda(s), both domestically and internationally.

The very nature of the publicly held or publicly traded corporation is such that as soon as it goes public and shares can be traded, the influence of its original owners and founders and officers is immediately diluted to the extent that it is owned by outside CIA-chosen shareholders. Whenever the C.I.A. wants to take over any particular corporation, they merely buy their stock, bonds and every other publicly traded security. Then they dictate who the Board of Directors will be, who then approve the carefully selected and compromised top management and their compensation packages.

Intelligence

There has been no greater public collaboration between the Central Intelligence Agency and a US-based corporation than that of Amazon and the C.I.A.

The number of HUGE joint projects that have been made public is both unprecedented and alarming. That the world’s largest online retailer would be so closely associated with the C.I.A. is a reflection that Deep State really doesn’t care what the American people think anymore. They don’t even care if citizens are asking: Is Amazon Echo a CIA listening device?

What makes this quickly evolving partnership so dangerous and distressing is that there is a fake shine put on these state-corporate entities that so many wants to be a part of. In this way, people are in awe of these corporate Frankenteins, instead of being extremely wary of them.

Which begs the question: Just how much has the CIA collaborated with AMAZON to change American intelligence gathering?

Which demands further investigation into this inquiry: “What’s the CIA Doing on Amazon’s Cloud?”. Surely, there are many more inquiries that need to be made post-haste into these various joint projects that will profoundly affect each and every one of us in the future.

What is beyond dispute is that the Amazon.con has morphed into one of the largest data-mining operations in world history. Some folks spend all day long there shopping and leaving comments and flipping from video to video, book to book and audio to audio. Each of these past-times creates more data that is undoubtedly captured and stored and analyzed in ways that only the C.I.A. can do.

What’s of paramount importance to comprehend is that the CIA, NSA and DIA are at the hub of this global intelligence-gathering operation. Amazon, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Microsoft, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. are continuously feeding their stealthily collected data to the government, as well as to other buyers of the data who then use it in highly manipulative ways. Wow—what a complex and convoluted scheme to strip the citizenry of their privacy, and yet how many folks know about the sheer depth and breadth of it?

Amazon censorship

With this critical understanding, Amazon was intentionally created to centralize much of the nation’s retail buying and selling power in one company. The world-famous Amazon website is not only a one-stop shop for everything under the sun, it establishes a digital record of every buyer’s purchases and other online habits. To say that a highly detailed social profile is also being established would be a gross understatement because a LOT more profiling is being accomplished with every visit to their site.

However, it’s the raw state power to unlawfully censor that is of greatest concern to a free and open society. In this regard, when Amazon throws its weight around, We the Peopleget crushed without recourse. And, the government will not so much as raise a finger in the defense of the First Amendment or any other lofty principle or God-given right. After all, Amazon is wholly owned and operated by the secret government entities that are virtually impossible to identify and, therefore, difficult to check.

This is the rubric under which the whole of American society is really governed and controlled; it’s a fascist corporatocracy where the corporate sector is joined at the hip with the government…but no one really knows about the criminal collusion except a few power-players at the very top.

The Jeff Bezos Affair and Divorce

In light of these crucial revelations, how does one make sense of the most captivating soap opera in the history of Hollywood? Remember, the C.I.A and Hollywood have always been joined a the hip as well. They’re experts at creating spectacles that distract and deceive, divert our attention and misdirect.

Even The New York Times has labelled the “Bezos affair and divorce” the biggest VIP melodrama ever to have entranced so many watchers around the world. Even the star of the show — Jeff Bezos — seems to revel in his new roles as both screen star (smartphone) … and lawyer.

Truly, this whole Bezos affair makes “DALLAS” look like the “FLYING NUN”. You really can’t make this stuff up; unless, of course it’s been scripted by Hollywood’s best and brightest CIA contractors, which it has.

However, there is a highly radioactive political back story here. That story concerns Donald Trump and Jeff Bezos, the C.I.A. and the Trump organization, The Washington Post and the National Enquirer. And, “Yes!”, it has a lot to do with the fact that C.I.A. Pawn Jeff Bezos Uses WashPo to Smear Political Opponents of Deep State.

But what’s the real back story here?

That will be covered in a future article because the vital point of this piece is much more essential to understand. In the meantime, there are many sordid details in the link below that will help the armchair sleuth to piece this intel puzzle together.

Conclusion

We’ve got some very serious problems with the way that Amazon has taken over so much of American society. What’s especially concerning is the way that the growing Bezos empire has arrogated so much power unto itself so quickly, particularly during the lawless Obama years.

When headlines read like this: Trump Leak Now Points To Bezos’ Hidden $600M Deal With Obama CIA To Feed Washington Post, you know we’ve got BIG problems. That a retail website could develop so many corrupted and compromising inter-relationships throughout the intel community makes one wonder what Deep State has put into place over several decades way under the radar.

At the end of the day, Amazon is just one more fascist entity that will have to be decisively dealt with… before they deal US out of everything we hold sacred and important to the American way of life. Oh, and by the way, almost every employee of Amazon will tell you that working there is like working in the Third Reich, where the Bezos-directed “Gestapo” is running the show from behind.

The Slippage Continues - India Resists Trump On Everything

Tyler Durden

March 5, 2019

Authored by Tom Luongo,

With the U.S.’s attempt at regime change in Venezuela going nowhere fast it’s becoming increasingly obvious that major vassals allies aren’t scared of the consequences of defying us.

India, in particular, has been quite clear in its opposition to Trump’s edicts on who they can and cannot trade with. And with Prime Minister Narendra Modi reeling from a corruption scandal it’s clear he isn’t going to give Trump an inch on important trade issues, especially with Modi in full re-election mode.

Not only has India defied the U.S. over buying Iranian oil and Russian S-400 missile defense systems but now they continue to flaunt U.S. sanctions on Venezuela upping its purchases from 400,000 barrels per day to more than 600,000.

The quantity of exports to India has jumped 66 per cent to 620,000 barrels a day and the boost is being driven by refiners like Reliance Industries Ltd and Nayara Energy Ltd, backed by Rosneft, Russia.

Overall though, Venezuela’s crude exports have taken a dip as the US has intensified the sanctions against the Latin American nation’s oil company.

The response from the U.S. was the nearly inconsequential removing India from the Generalized System of Preferences which created tariff-free trade on a number of products between the U.S. and India.

Crying over Spilled Oil

It amounts to $190 million in net benefit to India a year.

The preferential treatment brought India an annual “actual benefit” of just $190 million, he told reporters.

Of the 3,700 products covered, India used the concession for just 1,784, Wadhawan added.

“The benefit to industry is low, U.S. tariffs are already low,” said another government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “GSP is more symbolic of the strategic relationship, not in value terms.”

It’s a 2% tariff reduction folks. It sounds big because it will hit $5.6 billion in trade but in the end it is less than 1% of the trade deficit between the U.S. and India.

Trump is also hitting wayward Turkey with the same stick.

I’m sure Erdogan didn’t even bother to notice.

Let’s put this in context shall we? Even at a heavy discount to current prices ($55 vs. $65 per bbl), India is paying Venezuela over a billion dollars a month.

And that’s part of the reason why India raised its purchases of Venezuelan oil, it’s available at a steep discount. Playing this out a little further, a $10 per barrel discount times 600,000 per month is a $72 million net benefit to India offsetting a large chunk of Trump’s temper tantrum.

Because that’s what this amounts to, a tantrum. John Bolton and Mike Pompeo began a regime change operation that they shouldn’t have to take control of Venezuela’s oil and stick it in the eye of China and Russia who support Maduro financially and politically. Everyone else then has to take sides because in Trump’s mind our allies aren’t supporting us.

Boo freaking hoo.

Allies No More

As has been pointed out numerous times, empires do not have allies, they have vassals. And when the vassals get uppity they need to be slapped down.

But, what happens when they refuse to sit down? What happens when they continue to defy the imperial edicts of the Orange Obama and his Mustachioed Mafiosi?

Exactly what we’re seeing now. Did anyone in the White House really think India and Modi would back down over $190 million in tariffs?

Look, I’m all for removing barriers to trade and for the government to get out of the way of commerce. All government does is pick winners and losers, and this GSP program is a classic example of this.

But, to think it was going to scare India into cutting its own throat economically is simply the height of hubris and, worse, paranoia.

India is a massive energy importer. And all the Trump administration has done is antagonize India over issue after issue.: S-400s, Iranian oil, now Venezuela, destabilizing its relationship with Pakistan and China.

And to make matters worse, Trump’s lack of a coherent foreign policy has alienated India on multiple occasions. Think back to the cancellation of the important 2+2 meeting last year because the North Korea Summit took precedence.

Do you really think that sat well with the very proud Indians? No it didn’t. This was a meeting postponed for over a year already and once the U.S. canceled it again, it told India all it needed to know about its future relationship with Trump.

Moreover, why would anyone spend one minute hoping that Trump will treat them with even a modicum of respect when it comes to trade? He already slapped major tariffs on steel (10%) and Aluminum (25%) and threatened the world with worse if they did any trade with Iran.

The better plan is to expect the worst and prepare accordingly. This is why India was nonplussed when Trump hit back at their refusal to stop buying Venezuelan oil with the only thing he can hurt them with…. essentially nothing.

The Asian Pivot

All this is doing is confirming that the emerging powers of Asia — North, Central, South and East — will coalesce over time around a shared platform of intertwined goals.

Pakistan’s Imran Khan is working hard to defuse the hostilities between it and India. The U.S. foreign policy establishment under John Bolton are freaking out at the idea of detente between India and Pakistan while they are trying to squeeze China and Russia ‘until the pips squeak.’

Trump knows the U.S.’s unipolar moment is behind us, but he can’t let go of it without a fight. That desire is admirable but he would be better served in the long run to bow off the center of the stage gracefully versus the embarrassing us to the point of vilification.

Because that’s the next stage of this. Trump has no real leverage over China in trade talks. If he can’t control emerging powers like India or effect regime change in a basket case like Venezuela, what does he really have to threaten China with?

Soros Foundation Demands EU Ramp Up Pressure on Poland 'or EU Won't Survive'

March 3, 2019

The Foundation was founded in the 1980s by George Soros, a vocal proponent of globalism and open borders, and is now trying to portray Poland’s drive for sovereignty as a threat to the entire European Union.

The Stefan Batory Foundation, a Polish NGO established by billionaire globalist George Soros and a group of Polish opposition leaders in the 1980s, has issued a paper calling on EU authorities to step up their antagonism towards the ruling party Law and Justice in Poland, saying that the entire survival of the Union depends on it.

"The battle for the rule of law in Poland sets a precedent and is effectively a battle for the survival of the EU", the document reads, defining the EU as a community in which each member nation's laws abide to a "similar standard".

The paper praises the European Commission for its efforts to thwart Polish judicial reforms that Warsaw says aims to overhaul a corrupt and unaccountable system.

The Foundation's call comes despite a growing frustration with the EU's interference in internal affairs, which has already resulted in Poland reviewing its legislation to determine whether EU laws are compatible with Polish domestic laws.

In recent years, the Foundation has worked on projects to "prepare Polish society for reception of refugees", to "form positive attitudes towards" a mass influx of Middle Eastern migrants, and training tens of thousands of professionals and officials in various roles to fight "prejudice towards minority groups" as well as "hateful online comments".

Poland has adopted a tough anti-migration policy, refusing to take Middle Eastern and North African migrants, which Brussels has tried to force member states to accommodate. Other European nations have followed suit, with Hungary and Austria being among the least willing to accept migrants.

Jacek Czaputowicz, Polish foreign minister, and his Hungarian counterpart, Péter Szijjártó, said during a press conference in Budapest earlier this week that the two nations would continue to defend a Christian, pro-sovereignty Europe in the face of attempts by the Brussels establishment to force mass migration "down nations' throats".

Both countries believe that Europe's Christian heritage must be protected, Szijjártó said during the press conference after the meeting with his Polish counterpart.

"The bureaucrats in Brussels have launched a campaign of revenge" against Hungary and Poland but the two countries "will not give in", he said, according to Hungary Today.

"The attacks by Brussels lack an authentic reason, they are only based on political motivation because Hungary and Poland do not want to become a country of immigrants and go against Brussels' migrant policies", the minister said.

‘It will be bigger’: Orban warns of SECOND migrant crisis, says Hungary is ‘ready’

March 3, 2019

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has warned that the 2015 migrant crisis – which saw millions of migrants pour into Europe – was just the beginning and that a new wave of African migrants may soon overwhelm the continent.

“Everything that we experienced in 2015 will happen again, and it will be bigger,” the nationalist leader told German newspaper Die Welt. “Soon the Arab countries will surpass the European countries in population. And I haven't mentioned Africa yet, where soon there will be more people than can be fed.”

Orban has emerged as one of the most vocal opponents of non-European immigration in recent years. As waves of migrants flowed from the Middle East in 2015, Orban constructed a razor-wire border fence and refused passage for asylum seekers whose claims were rejected. Since then he has refused to meet EU migrant relocation quotas and has criminalized individuals and NGOs suspected of “enabling illegal immigration.”

“Hungary is a frontier country,” Orban told Die Welt. “We live our lives in complete readiness. We have many thousands of soldiers and policemen at our southern border,” he added, warning that “today it depends only on decisions of the Turkish government whether the many millions of refugees that are there will set out for Europe.”

As the migrant crisis dragged on, Africa replaced the Middle East as the source of Europe’s migrant influx. Orban called for the establishment of a new body of ministers in Europe to deal with any future immigration from the continent of 1.3 billion people.

“A separate body needs to be created for this, where only the interior ministers of the Schengen zone would sit,” he explained. “The interior ministers of the Schengen zone would need to turn this into a very strong council, where questions that concern the whole Schengen zone would be decided in the manner of experts and not of politicians.”

EU leadership is unlikely to look to Orban for policy advice, however. The European Parliament voted to sanction Hungary for Orban’s anti-migration policies in September, and momentum is currently building to expel the Hungarian leader’s Fidesz party from the European People’s Party umbrella group.

Farage to Lead Brexit March Across England to Counter 'Westminster Traitors'

March 3, 2019

Politicians in Westminster don't want Brexit to happen, former UKIP leader Nigel Farage said as he called for support in his new venture.

A pro-Brexit march will take off on 16 March in Sunderland, aiming to reach London on 29 March in time for the Brexit deadline.

Critical of the PM Theresa May and her Withdrawal Agreement, Farage suggested the march across England aims to "fight back against those who betray the greatest democratic exercise in the history of our nation."

On Tuesday, 26 February, the British Prime Minister Theresa May announced she would offer MPs the chance to vote for either a no-deal Brexit or a delay to the UK departing the EU.

"Both an extension of Article 50 or a bad deal which is Brexit in name only," which remain as possible scenarios moving forward "are completely unacceptable," according to the March to Leave campaign.

"What are our demands?" asked the campaigners. The answer for them is simple:

"Let's just leave."

The campaign website offers different options to supporters: one can become a so-called "core marcher" or alternatively join the demonstration for a short period of time.

"Becoming a core marcher costs £50. In return, core marchers will receive an official March to Leave kit. Core marchers will be also be provided with dinner, breakfast and accommodation on us. For £50, that's not a bad deal!" the campaign explained.

The route of the march lies across more than ten towns and cities in England.

The initiative was mocked by some commentators online.

Farage, who also recently registered the Brexit Party, has been long vocal in his opposition to any form of Brexit delay or halt.

The March to Leave campaign stressed that "failing to deliver a true Brexit will permanently damage the British people's faith in democracy."

Meanwhile, with just 28 days until Britain is due to leave the EU on March 29, Theresa May is still seeking changes to her Brexit deal in order to win the backing of parliament.

The Fourth Turning & The Case Against Cities

Tyler Durden

March 3, 2019

Via HardScrabbleFarmer.com,

Historians spend a great deal of time on the subject of cities. Rome, Athens, Constantinople, London, Tokyo, Cairo, New York and Moscow. It is as if the stuff that is most worthwhile is the density of the population, those locations where people lived closely packed together rather than the substance of the people who lived everywhere in between. It would appear that all the significant events and accomplishments of a people throughout history are focused on urban centers and as a result we have convinced ourselves that it is and has always been the cities that define a society.

Our perception of urban living versus rural is often defined by the culture shapers — politicians, academics, corporations and media. Rarely are the populations who inhabit the different regions asked about the impact of those decisions on their quality of life. They accept the paradigm into which they were born or they convince themselves that the alternatives are much worse than what they face living in densely populated urban centers.

We seem to readily accept that economic advantages of living in a city far outstrip the opportunities of living in the country, that the benefits of culture — museums and symphonies, for example — are unavailable to anyone who does not live where these attractions are located. There is an almost equal enthusiasm for certain benefits of urbanity, like diversity, that manifest as many, if not more drawbacks to a good life depending on how the effects of that mix manifests itself in good times and in bad. What one gains in access to a varied selection of cuisines is offset by what one must deal with when communication between diverse groups is not possible due to language or cultural differences. While the former are often cited as beneficial, the latter is never mentioned except where it can be used to shame or ridicule anyone who objects. Under social and economic stresses those features such as clannish or tribal behaviors emerge and create fractures along a number of fault lines.

In reviewing the challenges of a stressed and divided society like America in the 21st century, we must consider which behaviors and choices bear the greatest responsibility for those problems. While experts most often point the finger at those who are resistant to change, as if change itself is always beneficial and stasis is always a negative, it doesn’t mean that they are correct in their estimation. While it is difficult to prove that there is a net benefit to de-urbanization, it is very easy to prove that there are far more negatives associated with increased urbanization.

Let’s start with a few basic facts concerning the variables between the two.

According to the US Census nearly two-thirds of Americans live in an urban environment. That area represents less than one fiftieth of the inhabitable land available for habitation and when we look at the numbers, it becomes far more stark. The population of large cities with over one million inhabitants is over 7,000 per square mile, while in rural areas that figure drops to 35.

200:1 is a variable that presents quite a few challenges, most of which are environmental.

Everyone who has ever visited or seen a CAFO where livestock are kept prior to slaughter for fattening can tell you that the single most recognizable factor is the waste. In rural areas where a single family inhabits the same amount of space that would fit 150 inhabitants in a city, there is adequate drainage and soil to accommodate their waste with little or no effect on the environment. In a city there exists no spare land to accommodate any waste disposal and so virtually all excess waste must be treated at an extremely high cost with an even greater amount of material that must be relocated away from the urban source. This goes for solid wastes as well as human waste. Urbanized setting cannot dispose of their detritus without reliance on rural areas to distribute those accumulated wastes. Because of the volume produced, there is virtually little chance of any of that being dealt with organically, i.e. allowing for nature to metabolize the wastes, rather they must be buried in landfills creating huge toxic storage issues that will take centuries rather than days to dissipate.

Cities likewise are incapable of producing even a fraction of what they consume. Urban farming accounts for at best 5% of their total needs making them dependent upon their rural counterparts for 95% of their nutritional requirements. Cities, quite simply, cannot feed themselves nor dispose of their own waste while rural areas have close to zero dependence on urban enclaves for either of the two.

Rural areas of the United States of America enjoy a much higher quality of life than urbanized area by a large margin. Crime rates are three times higher in cities, while tax rates are doubled. The income necessary to maintain a standard of living in a city is 35% higher than someone living in a rural area. In terms of pure economics whatever advantage higher salaries provide to urban dwellers, it is offset by a factor of almost 3 to 1 and this is based only on six raw data points; energy, housing, food, medical care, taxes, and public services. It fails to take into account the radical differences in what urban people must spend on additional factors associated with urban dwelling, like additional security, fees, and medications (urbanites have a 40% higher incidence of anxiety and psychological issues than their rural counterparts as well as an STD rate over five times higher.

Overall the quality of life for rural inhabitants scores fifty percent higher than those who live in the city. While none of these are definitive proof that rural life is objectively better — there are people who thrive in high anxiety, isolation and close proximity to strangers at a higher cost, most human beings seem inclined to live in a peaceful setting with higher ratio of income to expenditures. Proponents of urban living will often point to areas that rural environments do not possess, such as public transportation, diversity (higher percentage of non-natives), and cultural institutions, they do not factor in the costs as opposed to their uses. For example people will tout the fact that the NYC Metropolitan Opera features a valuable resource for those who live in NYC. The truth is that with their 3,800 seat capacity and 200 performance season, less than 1 in 15 New Yorkers would ever have the chance to attend a single performance even if they wanted to, far less when you subtract season ticket holders and out of town ticket buyers. Just because a resource exists in an area does not mean that it will ever be utilized except by a small fraction of the urban population. And in no way are those from the rural regions unable to travel into the city for expressly those purposes, so such claims of urban advantage are specious at best.

It should also be noted that there are significant demographic aberrations in urban versus rural areas, especially in regards to age. Urban populations are much younger than rural ones and skewed to the advantage of younger females. Anyone who has ever made it to adulthood understands what draws young men to a specific place and that is available young females. As old courtship rights were eroded over the last century, especially in regards to the rise of feminism, and loosened standards in terms of sexual availability cities have acted as a magnet for unattached men and women. Similarly the numbers of in tact families is equally skewed with far more living in rural areas than their equal aged cohort in the city. Urban divorce rates are twice that of the country and people who live in the country are ten times as likely to live with a multi-generational extended family than in a city. In addition the number of newly arrived immigrants found in cities dwarves the number located in the countryside as well as second and third generation immigrants. To find someone who speaks the same language, shares the same values, and believes in the same principles you are far more likely to encounter them the further you move from the cities. There are few other considerations that show any of the correlating demographic idiosyncrasies than those demonstrated by the urban/rural divide.

Of course we can try to do what most economists would do in looking at this issue and most of them would point to the productivity and dollar value of each particular region. Cities, they will say, create more dollars per square foot than the rest of the country combined, but they never mention the difference between the source of those dollars. The country produces the ores that become raw materials to fulfill the demands of industry, they produce the overwhelming majority of sustenance, they produce the majority the energy that propels the engine of the economy and the vast majority of the tradesmen that build and maintain the infrastructure. Cities produce an overwhelming majority of those on various kinds of relief, government employees, attorneys and those who work in the financial service sector, none of which create anything of tangible value. One cannot survive long without nourishment but no lives are dependent on notional trading of derivatives or arcane regulations regarding tort law. Cities are the centers of specialization while the countryside is the seedbed of the generalist. Those who live in the city are five times more likely to call a plumber, electrician or tradesmen to perform basic tasks than a rural resident. The majority of all US Patents are held by someone who was born and raised in a rural environment and most of the greatest developments of the past two hundred years were the result of people reared on farms; Whitney, Deere, Bell, Edison, Ford, Browning, Eastman, Farnsworth and Howe are but a fraction of the names of those whose roots and generalist approach to life allowed them to create innovative and groundbreaking technologies, while most of what takes place in the cities is a form of refinement of those creations. Specialists have their place, especially in areas like surgery and engineering, but the origin of their fields always have their roots in the soil.

Human beings possess an innate and powerful drive towards concern for their fellow man. In the country if some sees an accident or a fire the first impulse is always to stop and render aid. It is a rare time when someone in need is ignored in a rural community. In the streets of most major cities the population has inured itself to the sight of human suffering and want. They step over the homeless, pretend they don’t notice the piles of human waste or puddles of urine, blithely stare off into space when someone exhibits signs of mental illness or emotional instability and walk away from random acts of violence. The internet is full of videos of beatdowns, assaults, meltdowns in public places, destruction of businesses, flash mobs and every other form of delinquency but only rarely do these occur in rural settings. It is the desensitized population that makes most of these acts possible despite the fact that the perpetrators are almost always far outnumbered by passerby. Their ability to compartmentalize the vast numbers of human interactions they have every day leaves them numb to their genetic predisposition towards altruism and empathy. People who lack empathy and concern for their fellow human beings cannot be expected to make decisions that would benefit anyone other than themselves. Part of the demographic slant in elections — the majority of Democratic voters live in urban areas while the majority of Republican voters live in rural areas with income, sex and age playing a distant second, third and fourth in terms of political affiliation. Interestingly enough the more dependent upon others someone is, the more likely they are to live in a city, thus the need to vote for increasing government involvement in their lives.

There are certainly more areas where the distinctions between the urban and the rural can be observed, but perhaps none more important than the disconnect between human beings and their natural environment. Human beings were adapted to live in accordance with the seasons and the environment in which they lived. The very advance of human civilization rested almost entirely upon his ability to create surplus food stores in order to survive in year round settlements. These centers became the hub of both agriculture and the domestication of animal species and from that came every conceivable advance and achievement we have ever made since then. The development of mathematics, written language, metallurgy, construction, engineering, medicine, all of them were a direct result of living in tune with the observable world of nature. Urban living divorces human populations of everything from the source of their daily nourishment to the elimination of their wastes. They turn on their lights without knowing where the source of that energy comes from, running in the rivers or buried in the coal seams of some distant wooded hillbillyville, they turn on their tap for their water unaware of its origins in the distant mountains of flyover country.

They are as dependent as babies on the material resources of the places they make fun of, incapable of feeding themselves or of cleaning up their own mess. They make more waste, use more resources, produce fewer necessities, consume more luxuries, have greater disparities between the economic classes, fewer intact families, experience far more crime and pay a higher price to adjudicate it, then ship off their offenders to prisons in the hinterlands where the rubes are hired as custodians to the human effluent of the cities. You can hear sirens 24/7 but you cannot see the stars at night. There is no such thing as silence, privacy is almost nil, personal space is reduced, self-reliance almost unknown. In most cities you do not have the right to arm yourself for defense against the criminal population that far exceeds that of the rural regions. Virtually every transaction in the city is economic with very few people doing business outside of their own very small circles. For all of their cosmopolitan posturing their social circles are 30% smaller than the average inhabitant of a town with 2,000 or fewer inhabitants. They are, in fact, the most provincial of peoples despite living in the most crowded environments.

I have lived in a multitude of places over the course of my life and have seen far more of the United States than the most seasoned travelers. I’ve lived in the center of the largest metropolis on the east coast and now choose to live in a New England village with a seasonal population that never exceeds 2,500 residents in an area twice the size of Manhattan. Our choice to live this way was predicated not upon an economic necessity, nor on an historic attachment to place, but rather as a deliberate choice based on what we wanted to best experience a better way of life. Our economic standard dropped significantly but so did our expenditures. Our physical health improved markedly, our relationships with each other and our children has been greatly enhanced, and our connection to those who live around us, friends, neighbors and the community at large has been nothing short of miraculous. Peace is plentiful, crime is not a concern, freedom to do what we want when we want to has increased and we feel like we have lost nothing in the exchange. Try as I might there are only a few things I can think of as being a loss to us; a good pizza, variety of restaurants, and the friends and family we left behind. Beyond that there is nothing I can think of worth noting and under no circumstance would we ever consider moving back.

The historians rarely concern themselves with life in the provinces, where the toil and sweat of the creator classes accumulated the surpluses that allowed cities to exist in the first place, to flourish and become the centers of civilization we think of today. Paris, Berlin, Los Angeles, Bangkok, Shanghai and Baghdad. They focus on the remnants of collapsed citadels, shrines and fortresses. Those places that served both to celebrate the accomplishments of the nations and principalities that gave birth to them, and their glory are all ruins today. As much as they were lighthouses to the young and the ambitious of each generation, so too were they the fire that drew attention from afar. Eventually the complex business of moving paper and money, of accumulating wealth and building shrines to their hubris always runs its eventual course. And as the lines of supply are cut off, either through inattention or rebellion, the dependent urban centers begin to feed on themselves, leaving them vulnerable to the predations of those who hunger for a taste of their flesh. And all that endures and comes to life amongst the derelict bones of an extinct metropolis are the sons and daughters of those who preserved their independence and traditions in the far flung country of the rural world.

Nothing lasts forever and the accelerating pace of domestic instability demonstrates just how fragile our social fabric is. As we enter the maelstrom of the Fourth Turning anything can happen. The Empire and its narrative struggle to maintain legitimacy in a time of universal corruption. All declines follow a similar path and once the collapse occurs events pick up speed leaving everyone who has failed to prepare caught unaware. The cities are the least secure location during such periods and only those who manage to find a place out of the reach of those who tear down the walls of our civilization will be safe.

Take everything into consideration, but prepare for anything. Your life may depend upon it.

Spending Just 20 Minutes At A Public Park Boosts Happiness, Study Finds

By Ben Renner

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Need a pick-me-up? Try a park-me-up. A study by researchers at the University of Alabama-Birmingham finds that spending 20 minutes in a park or green space makes the average person happier.

What’s more, it didn’t matter whether you were sitting on a bench just passing the time or playing frisbee with a friend. The boost of happiness occurred whether an individual engaged in physical activity while at the park or not.

“Overall, we found park visitors reported an improvement in emotional well-being after the park visit,” says principal investigator Dr. Hon K. Yuen, professor in the UAB Department of Occupational Therapy, in a media release. “However, we did not find levels of physical activity are related to improved emotional well-being. Instead, we found time spent in the park is related to improved emotional well-being.”

Researchers say that urban parks provide city residents opportunities to experience nature and engage in many types of activities, some involving exercise, some not. Between the contact with the natural environment and engaging in health-promoting or social and recreational activities, parks allow visitors to experience physical and mental health benefits like stress reduction or recovery from mental fatigue and burnout.

For the study, the researchers recruited 94 adults to visit three urban parks in Mountain Brook, Alabama: Overton, Jemison, and Cahaba River Walk Parks. The locations were selected because they were three major public parks in Mountain Brook and each had a high volume of visitors every day.

Despite the smaller sample size, study co-author Gavin R. Jenkins says that the positive results among participants still show just how important green spaces are, particularly in cities. The positive effects are reason enough for leaders to push for conservation and even expansions of public parks.

“There is increasing pressure on green space within urban settings,” says Jenkins. “Planners and developers look to replace green space with residential and commercial property. The challenge facing cities is that there is an increasing evidence about the value of city parks but we continue to see the demise of theses spaces.”

The study was published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research.

The Sweet Deception Of Food Without Sugar

From Dr. Betty Martini, D.Hum.
3-1-19

An important point in the article below. It says: "Often when we read " without added sugars " on the labels of some foods, sucrose is replaced by sweeteners, or molecules built in the laboratory (synthetic sweeteners)." Some people think if it says without sugars there are no sweeteners but that is not the case as is pointed out. Confuse sweetness without affecting calories. But are substances that replace sugar safe?
Fats-free snacks, calorie-free drinks, mozzarella without lactose, sugar without sugar!
By now food companies are proposing increasingly strange products to attract the attention of a consumer who has become attentive and informed about the problems that a diet rich in sugar can reserve.
And playing on the psychological bombardment of "sugar free" or "light" are spreading less and less calories on the market.
If it is true that the "light" version of the same product contains less calories than the original one, are the substances that replace sugar safe?

Sweeteners

Often when we read " without added sugars " on the labels of some foods, sucrose is replaced by sweeteners, or molecules built in the laboratory (synthetic sweeteners).
Among the most common we have saccharin (E954), aspartame (E591), acesulfame (E950), sucralose (E955) and cyclamate (E952).
Their advantage is to give a sweet power to foods without affecting the calories and therefore theoretically replace sugary foods with their "light" cousins should avoid the intake of many unnecessary calories, thus reducing the incidence of obesity.
Too bad, however, that this strategy turned out to be bankrupt because the number of overweight people instead of decreasing would seem to increase.
For some time we have been trying to understand if the use of sweeteners is so harmless and if their consumption can have some negative impact on health.
Many studies condemn them, while others emphasize their dangerousness only at massive doses whose achievement would seem impossible within a balanced diet.
For example, aspartame is considered safe when it does not exceed 40 mg / kg, ie for a person of 70 kg would be equivalent to the consumption of 12 cans of light drinks.
However, some time ago a study was published by a group of Israeli researchers concerning the administration of saccharin, sucralose and aspartame to laboratory mice, and their blood sugar was compared to that of other mice that had been given sugar.
Yes, the glycemia of rats fed with sweeteners was much higher than that of the group fed with sugar.
Another shocking discovery was also made on the intestinal flora of animals subjected to a diet rich in sweeteners which had bacteria typical of that which is usually present in obese mice.
To make the study even more reliable, the research has been extended to 400 human patients.
Result?
After only 4 days of a sweetener-based diet, their glycemia was altered as was the intestinal bacterial flora.

Stevia

For some years now, a new natural sweetener, stevia, has been increasingly present in organic shops but also among supermarket shelves .
It is a plant typical of South America, Brazil and Paraguay in particular, whose sweetening power is 200 times higher than that of sugar thanks to the presence of steviosidi and rebaudioside A.
It can be bought both in powder form and in liquid form.
Rich in iron, manganese, vitamins and carbohydrates, it was often used in ancient times as a homeopathic remedy.
The diatribe about its danger is always open: there are those who believe it safe and usable by diabetics or pregnant women, those who exalt the danger by attributing a certain level of carcinogenicity.

Conclusions

The light soft drinks create a kind of dependence and abusing the palate loses interest in other flavors not appreciating the food unsweetened.
Moreover, whenever we take products containing artificial sugars, the body receives an "ambiguous" psychobiological sign, and the system of appetite regulation is in a certain sense put in crisis.
Result?
All this leads us to eat more to compensate for the calories not received (paradox of the sweetener).
Since there is therefore no scientific or realistic evidence that the substitution of sugary products with light ones reduces the risk of obesity, the advice is to avoid stratagems whose sole purpose is to make us feel less guilty.
Instead, you need to cut the extra calories by completely eliminating the sugary foods or reducing them as much as possible, without looking for any substitutes.
On the other hand to lose weight there are no magic potions, the secret is always the same: eat less, better and above all move more!

Vaccine Industry to partner with police, come after home school students in Iowa for mandated quarterly “health and wellness” checks

Wednesday, February 27, 2019 by: Lance D Johnson

(Natural News) After the World Health Organization (WHO) named “vaccine hesitancy” a global health threat in 2019, vaccine compliance has become top priority for every government that is run by Big Pharma. FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb has called on the states to limit vaccine exemptions and strip parents of their rights. The war to achieve max vaccine compliance is moving into new, bold territory.

The Vaccine State is now targeting home school families. Many home school families do not follow the CDC’s full vaccine schedule and some families opt out of vaccines altogether. Iowa State Representative Mary Mascher has proposed a piece of legislation that would target them in their homes, to enforce compliance. Iowa’s HF 272 would require home school families to submit proof of their child’s vaccination record to the state, while requiring the families to submit to quarterly “health and wellness” safety checks, which may be conducted by officials from the Health and Human Services Department and accompanied by local law enforcement.

HF 272 is where the Vaccine State takes its most intrusive step to date. On lines 22-24, the bill instructs all home school parents to provide the district with evidence that the child has had the immunizations “required under section 139A.8.” Furthermore, parents would be required to submit a full portfolio of the child’s school work, including an “outline of course of study,” all subjects covered, all lesson plans, and a time log for each area of study. The bill is both intrusive and dishonest. Even parents who send their kids to public school can opt out of one or all vaccines that are recommended by the CDC. Religious and medical exemptions to vaccines still exist in the state.

School districts to “conduct quarterly health and safety home visits” and may enlist law enforcement if parents don’t give consent

To enforce the new rules, the bill instructs the board of directors of the school district to “conduct quarterly home visits to check on the health and safety” of children within the district. The bill provides adequate funding for the school district to police home school families in the area. The visits are to be conducted within the home and include an observation of the child and an interview with the child. If the parent does not consent, then the district can obtain probable cause from the juvenile court to forcefully enter the home and conduct the observation and the interview. The superintendent of the school district shall “designate a person to carry out the duties.” This person is designated as the “mandatory reporter.” Most sickening, the school district may collaborate with the department of human services and “local, county and service area officers” to enter the home and conduct the checkup.

Since officers are required to “do their job,” they will be critical for intimidating parents to open their doors and submit their kid to the intrusive interview and the vaccine requirements. If parents do not cooperate and hand over proof of vaccination records, it will be very easy for Child Protective Services to take the child from the home, have them vaccinated, and sent away to live with another family.

In Oregon, lawmakers want to enforce vaccine compliance as soon as parents take their newborns home from the hospital. Under a proposal in Oregon, every new parent, including adoptions, would be visited two or three times by a nurse or health care practitioner. The visits are intended to connect parents with primary care physicians, screen them, and schedule their myriad of vaccinations.

These intrusive bills are a glimpse of how far the authoritarian Vaccine State will go to achieve vaccine compliance and force people to obey. Home school families must be ready to hold their elected representatives accountable, as to not permit pharmaceutical companies the ability to create laws and turn law enforcement against good people.
