The following is a copy of something i wrote in 2009..

It did not get much attention then, but it was “2009”…

it is on a lot of my blogs but this is the text…

It is intended to be fictional parody of course,

but given the situation lately I seem to have “hit a few things on the head”….lol…Enjoy???

Dearest American Citizen, 11:01 PM 8/11/2009

The “quasi” White House

Fuck You Pennsylvania Ave

Washington DC

Dearest American Citizen,

We are writing to you today to let you know personally

about a new Government program in which you and your

entire household are eligible for benefits.  It is the first

program of its kind to be introduced and we are proud that

the United States has chosen to participate in this

Worldwide program starting with the citizens of this great

Country.

The idea was born from a dire need to put a “cap” on the

global warming conditions, the lack of equal and needed

healthcare to all, and the “depression” which has left so

many people broke and without after many long years of

hard work and saving for their retirements.

This  program will end all need for abortions and

pharmaceuticals that cannot be afforded and/or cause too

many side effects.  It will also allow grave differences of

opinion and debates concerning which medications are

legal, moral, ethical, herbal, Schedule I, II, or III to be

eradicated.

It has recently been decided by the Superior Court of the

U.S. and the Worldwide Nation of Healthcare Coalition that

Assisted Suicide is an acceptable treatment in dire situations.

We believe the current state of the economy and the lack of

food, water, medicine, and money construe an emergency

situation around the world.  This is causing undue stress

upon the populace around the world.

The Global Warming issue alone is causing many millions of

deaths around the world from horrid weather conditions

and the diseases which are plaguing the entire World areastronomical.  It is simply unethical to expect all persons to

be able to “hold up” under such pressure.

Therefore, after much careful thought and consideration we

have collectively decided upon the following program

benefits for your family and household members:

*Enclosed please find carefully packaged individual capsules

which are red and black in color with the number “666”

imprinted upon them in purple.

*Carefully read the enclosed instructions on how to

administer them if you so choose.  (Please do not chew,

crush or liquefy before use).

**The number of capsules contained in the package was

determined by the 2007 Census and we cannot assume

responsibility for an incorrect number of capsules.

The enclosed capsules were mailed to each individual

household that is eligible for the program on the same day

much the same that Social Payments, Disability and Welfare

checks are dispensed.  There has been no media coverage of

this important program due to privacy concerns.  This is a

one-time offer only and cannot be reproduced nor

transferred to anyone outside of the household as you have

been selectively chosen for this special “care package”.

If you so choose to accept this offer you may do so any time

after 12:00am on the 15th of September, 2009.  If the

program is a success we will collectively eliminate in the

Millions of tons of carbon monoxide and dioxide into our

atmosphere in the first two weeks!

Everyone is encouraged to plant a tree prior to

consumption as a “thank you” for all the diligent work our

Experts have done to make this such a success!

We hope that this will be the answer to the economic, social

and political problems which are overcoming our collective

progress toward the New World Order.  We believe that each

of our participants will be rewarded for their efforts in the

program and look forward to calculating the results!

Sincerely,

Health, Welfare, Consumption and Sources Dept.Washington, DC.

Investigation in Glasgow, KY, finds officers not responsible for death of Jeremy Marr…

“Please don’t kill me!”

04/16/21 7:44PM CST

Released earlier today was the statement and body cam footage (that had NOT previously been seen).  And with that they concluded  the Officers involved in the arrest and death of Jeremy Marr are not responsible.

Yes, he was intoxicated, he may have legitimately been paranoid considering how things turned out.  The Officers in my opinion misused their authority after tazing him over 10-11 times plus physical force…and then claim it was a medical incident!  Well, yeah, that much is correct, it was a medical incident alright, before and during the encounter.  Afterwards it was a death investigation that never should have had to happen. 

I must say that I am heartbroken over this case as it is in my County.  I fear this will be a huge scar on our County for a long time.  I’ve never known of a police involved death in this manner here before since I’ve been here – about 11 years.

My heart goes out to the family involved and I pray they can get some kind of justice out of this God forsaken mess.

GLASGOW, Ky. (WBKO) – One year after the incident, Kentucky State Police have released the body camera footage from the arrest of Jeremy Marr, 35, who died while in police custody on April 14, 2020.  

According to KSP records, Marr’s cause of death was listed as Agitated / Excited delirium complicating acute methamphetamine intoxication during the arrest by Dr. Darius Arabadjief. The examiner found ‘no lethal trauma.’ The toxicology report showed Marr had methamphetamine and amphetamine in his system.

Commonwealth Attorney Jesse Stockton sent a letter to Kentucky State Police which stated he did not see any credible evidence that the officers involved in the arrest of Marr were not responsible for his death.

Meanwhile, Marr’s widow, Joanna Marr, filed a lawsuit on behalf of Marr’s estate against the city of Glasgow, the Glasgow Police Department and three police officers. The lawsuit alleges that Marr was forcibly subdued by Glasgow Police Officers Guy Turcotte, Hayden Phillips and Sergeant Cameron Murrell, adding that the physical force used during the arrest resulted in Marr’s death.

This man died at the hands of Glasgow Police in April…. As of yet no indication of why…. However in the video which was filmed by people passing the scene – the immediate cause is apparent – police abuse. #ALLLIVESMATTER #ENDTHEMADNESS #ENDPOLICEABUSE !!

I must add the following statement – It has been my experience with the Barren County Sheriff’s that they have been very good to me. They helped when I needed it and was respectful in all matters.

THERE IS NO MAN BETTER THAN A GOOD OFFICER! BUT THERE IS NO ONE WORSE THAN A BAD OFFICER!

And as far as looting and causing disruptions – you are going after and hurting the very people that you are supposed to be helping….Your neighbors and neighborhood businesses! They did not cause the problem we see today with police abuse! They are in the middle of it all just like you! Go after and protest to the people who are in charge of the abuse! The people in charge of our Government must understand that we cannot be treated like “sub-humans”……

I don’t care what color you are!

"Breonna Taylor." "Say her name."

“Breonna Taylor.”

“Say her name.”

“No justice, no peace.”

Peaceful protesters met with riot gear, flashbangs, roadblocks, and arrests.

This was the refrain of the summer of 2020, which will forever be marked as the summer of protest, the summer of demands for justice. It was the summer the eyes of the world fell upon Kentucky, the home of an innocent Black woman who was murdered for no reason.

Today marks the one-year anniversary of Breonna Taylor’s death. It wasn’t only the tragedy of a young and promising life stolen that moved Kentuckians to action from Hazard to Paducah; it was also the insult of injustice.

Fueled by collective grief, Black Kentuckians led the call for justice, and thousands of Kentuckians from all backgrounds and corners of the commonwealth followed their lead. They allied to demand police accountability and to declare once and for all that Black Lives Matter.

The ACLU of Kentucky immediately expanded its racial justice work to ensure a death like Breonna’s never happens again. ACLU of Kentucky Policy Strategist Keturah Herron knew our organization’s role was to take the people’s demands and turn them into policy. Her goal was to first ban no-knock warrants in Louisville, and then take the measure statewide when the General Assembly convened seven months later. Working with allies, Keturah crafted Breonna’s Law and launched the #NoMoreNoKnocks campaign. Just 17 days later, the measure unanimously passed Louisville Metro Council and was formally named “Breonna’s Law.”

Internally, we renewed our commitment to racial justice by reexamining our work in all areas to approach policy through the lens of racial justice. When we lift up the people most harmed by society, we lift up all people. We also began the ongoing and difficult process of self-reflection to root out white supremacy in our own organization and hold ourselves to the same standards we expect from others.

Our work has carried into the General Assembly for the 2021 legislative session. Keturah has successfully collaborated with lawmakers from around the commonwealth and from both parties to create legislation that will save lives.

Breonna was an EMT and wanted to save lives. We will continue this work to honor her legacy and fight for a commonwealth that treats all Kentuckians equally under the law.

Sincerely,

Michael Aldridge

Concerning Johnny Boone…

December 19, 2017, John Robert Boone, “Johnny Boone”, plead guilty to possession of more than 1000 marijuana plants, and to trafficking in Washington County Kentucky.  He was known as the “Godfather of Grass” and the leader of the “Cornbread Mafia” in Marion County Kentucky.

 U.S. District Judge Charles R. Simpson III in Louisville sentenced John Robert “Johnny” Boone, 74, formerly of Marion County, Kentucky, to 57 months.

He had previously fled to Canada for a number of years after having a grow operation spotted by the KSP near Springfield Kentucky in 2008 where he remained a fugitive until his arrest in 2016 when he was deported from Canada back to Kentucky.

On April 11th I received the first email from Johnny Boone’s niece regarding the conditions that her Uncle was living in while being incarcerated at the Elkton Federal Prison, located in Lisbon, Ohio.

He was due to be transferred to a “Half-Way” house on April 15th, but COVID-19 came into the picture and his release was postponed.  He is 76 years old and in in a setting that could cause him to lose his life to this horrid virus. 

His family is pleading for his release, and have done everything they can to attain it.  They are asking for our help! He could very well lose his life in this prison because of this Virus, and nobody seems to be acting fast enough to take care of the emergent situation, in regards to prisoner’s.  He is not the only one!  There are many more all over the Country and each State’s Citizen’s should inform their Governor’s that this is not acceptable!

If you remove the non-violent offenders from the system there will be much more room for the ones who do need to be contained, and there will be better medical care afforded to them – hopefully.

“We’re not criminals, we’re not,” he said. “We’re not the kind of people who go out and harm people.”

On April 8, the National Guard arrived at Elkton Federal Prison in Columbiana County to assist the medical staff when a large number of prisoners became ill with the virus.^[67] On April 18, the National Guard and Highway Patrol arrived at the state prison in Marion county to assist with “mission critical functions” after infections of correctional workers and prisoners.^[68] By April 19, over 1800 prisoners at Marion Correctional Institution, approximately 3/4ths of the population, plus 100 staff had tested positive.^[69] Overall, the prison system had almost 2500 cases by April 19, representing almost a fifth of Ohio’s cases.^[69]

How Johnny Boone ended up in an Ohio Correctional Facility, instead of a Kentucky Facility is not known.  But regardless of that fact, he should have been transferred back to Kentucky, at the very least, when this outbreak began.  Now it seems that he is stuck in there with no recourse as the Virus continues to reek havoc on the prison industrial complex overall.

Why has Governor Beshear let this happen?  Although I understand the way that we were hit with this “attack” of the Virus it would have to be hard to manage it, but these people who are incarcerated are supposed to be properly cared for by the “System”. 

Even the most chronic or hardened inmates have basic rights that are protected by the U.S. Constitution. If you are facing incarceration, or if you have a family member or friend who is in prison or jail, you should know about inmates’ rights.

Considering Johnny Boone’s age and medical status, he should have been released early on.  There is absolutely no reason to keep this man incarcerated. 

Since Barr’s memorandum on April 3 directing Bureau of Prisons Director Michael Carvajal to consider measures to move minimum security inmates out of prison, few inmates have actually been released with the exception of those who were already planned for release.

With the following information in mind, I am urging everyone to send a memo to Gov. Beshear to request that he step in and make a decision to have Johnny Boone removed from Elkton Correctional Institute immediately and brought back home to Kentucky!

 On April 13, 2020, inmates at Elkton Federal Correctional Institution, brought an emergency court action seeking release from Elkton due to the spread of COVID-19 within the prison (Reference United States District Court Northern District of Ohio, Craig Wilson, et v Mark Williams, et al, Case: 4:20-cv-00794). The action sought the release of some inmates from prison to Home Confinement or by Furlough, particularly those who were old or had an underlying conditions consistent with the guidelines provided by the Center for Decision Control. Noted in the lawsuit was the “dorm-style” design of most minimum and low prisons where inmates live in close proximity to one another.

Please do not let either Johnny Boone or any other Inmates suffer and die needlessly in such condition!

This is the Government’s responsibility to keep these people safe from harm as they serve their time.  There is no reason to keep a non-violent offender in a prison system in these conditions!

Please take this into consideration and free Johnny Boone to his family!

“Too many kids show worrying signs of fragility from a very young age…”

Story by Kate Julian

Updated at 10:30 a.m. ET on April 17, 2020.

Imagine for a moment that the future is going to be even more stressful than the present. Maybe we don’t need to imagine this. You probably believe it. According to a survey from the Pew Research Center last year, 60 percent of American adults think that three decades from now, the U.S. will be less powerful than it is today. Almost two-thirds say it will be even more divided politically. Fifty-nine percent think the environment will be degraded. Nearly three-quarters say that the gap between the haves and have-nots will be wider. A plurality expect the average family’s standard of living to have declined. Most of us, presumably, have recently become acutely aware of the danger of global plagues.

To hear more feature stories, get the Audm iPhone app.

Suppose, too, that you are brave or crazy enough to have brought a child into this world, or rather this mess. If ever there were a moment for fortifying the psyche and girding the soul, surely this is it. But how do you prepare a child for life in an uncertain time—one far more psychologically taxing than the late-20th-century world into which you were born?

To protect children from physical harm, we buy car seats, we childproof, we teach them to swim, we hover. How, though, do you inoculate a child against future anguish? For that matter, what do you do if your child seems overwhelmed by life in the here and now?

You may already know that an increasing number of our kids are not all right. But to recap: After remaining more or less flat in the 1970s and ’80s, rates of adolescent depression declined slightly from the early ’90s through the mid-aughts. Shortly thereafter, though, they started climbing, and they haven’t stopped. Many studies, drawing on multiple data sources, confirm this; one of the more recent analyses, by Pew, shows that from 2007 to 2017, the percentage of 12-to-17-year-olds who had experienced a major depressive episode in the previous year shot up from 8 percent to 13 percent—meaning that, in the span of a decade, the number of severely depressed teenagers went from 2 million to 3.2 million. Among girls, the rate was even higher; in 2017, one in five reported experiencing major depression.

An even more wrenching manifestation of this trend can be seen in the suicide numbers. From 2007 to 2017, suicides among 10-to-24-year-olds rose 56 percent, overtaking homicide as the second leading cause of death in this age group (after accidents). The increase among preadolescents and younger teens is particularly startling. Suicides by children ages 5 to 11 have almost doubled in recent years. Children’s emergency-room visits for suicide attempts or suicidal ideation rose from 580,000 in 2007 to 1.1 million in 2015; 43 percent of those visits were by children younger than 11. Trying to understand why the sort of emotional distress that once started in adolescence now seems to be leaching into younger age groups, I called Laura Prager, a child psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital and a co-author of Suicide by Security Blanket, and Other Stories From the Child Psychiatry Emergency Service. Could she explain what was going on? “There are many theories, but I don’t understand it fully,” she replied. “I don’t know that anyone does.”

From December 2015: Hanna Rosin on the Silicon Valley suicides

One possible contributing factor is that, in 2004, the FDA put a warning on antidepressants, noting a possible association between antidepressant use and suicidal thinking in some young people. Prescriptions of antidepressants to children fell off sharply—leading experts to debate whether the warning resulted in more deaths than it prevented. The opioid epidemic also appears to be playing a role: One study suggests that a sixth of the increase in teen suicides can be linked to parental opioid addiction. Some experts have suggested that rising distress among preteen and adolescent girls might be linked to the fact that girls are getting their period earlier and earlier (a trend that has itself been linked to various factors, including obesity and chemical exposure).

Even taken together, though, these explanations don’t totally account for what’s going on. Nor can they account for the fragility that now seems to accompany so many kids out of adolescence and into their young-adult years. The closest thing to a unified theory of the case—one put forth in The Atlantic three years ago by the psychologist Jean M. Twenge and in many other places by many other people—is that smartphones and social media are to blame. But that can’t explain the distress we see in kids too young to have phones. And the more the relationship between phones and mental health is studied, the less straightforward it seems. For one thing, kids the world over have smartphones, but most other countries aren’t experiencing similar rises in suicides. For another, meta-analyses of recent research have found that the overall associations between screen time and adolescent well-being range from relatively small to nonexistent. (Some studies have even found positive effects: When adolescents text more in a given day, for example, they report feeling less depressed and anxious, probably because they feel greater social connection and support.)

A stronger case can be made that social media is potentially hazardous for people who are already at risk of anxiety and depression. “What we are seeing now,” writes Candice Odgers, a professor at UC Irvine who has reviewed the literature closely, “might be the emergence of a new kind of digital divide, in which differences in online experiences are amplifying risks among [the] already-vulnerable.” For instance, kids who are anxious are more likely than other kids to be bullied—and kids who are cyberbullied are much more likely to consider suicide. And for young people who are already struggling, online distractions can make retreating from offline life all too tempting, which can lead to deepening isolation and depression.

This more or less brings us back to where we started: Some of the kids aren’t all right, and certain aspects of contemporary American life are making them less all right, at younger and younger ages. But none of this suggests much in the way of solutions. Taking phones away from miserable kids seems like a bad idea; as long as that’s where much of teenagers’ social lives are transacted, you’ll only isolate them. Do we campaign to take away the happy kids’ phones too? Wage a war on early puberty? What?

Video: Kids Feel Pandemic Anxiety Too

Ihave been thinking about these questions a lot lately, for journalistic reasons as well as personal ones. I am the mother of two children, 6 and 10, whose lineage includes more than its share of mental illness. Having lost one family member to suicide and watched another ravaged by addiction and psychiatric disability, I have no deeper wish for my kids than that they not be similarly afflicted. And yet, given the apparent direction of our country and our world, not to mention the ordeal that is late-stage meritocracy, I haven’t been feeling optimistic about the conditions for future sanity—theirs, mine, or anyone’s.

From September 2019: Daniel Markovits on how meritocracy harms everyone

To my surprise, as I began interviewing experts in children’s mental health—clinicians, neuroscientists doing cutting-edge research, parents who’d achieved this unofficial status as a result of their kids’ difficulties—an unusually unified chorus emerged. For all the brain’s mysteries, for everything we still don’t know about genetics and epigenetics, the people I spoke with emphasized what we do know about when emotional disorders start and how we might head more of them off at the pass. The when: childhood—very often early childhood. The how: treatment of anxiety, which was repeatedly described as a gateway to other mental disorders, or, in one mother’s vivid phrasing, “the road to hell.”

Actually, the focus on anxiety wasn’t so surprising. Of course anxiety. Anxiety is, in 2020, ubiquitous, inescapable, an ambient condition. Over the course of this century, the percentage of outpatient doctors’ visits in America involving a prescription for an anti-anxiety medication such as Xanax or Valium has doubled.* As for the kids: A study published in 2018, the most recent effort at such a tabulation, found that in just five years, anxiety-disorder diagnoses among young people had increased 17 percent. Anxiety is the topic of pop music (Ariana Grande’s “Breathin,” Julia Michaels and Selena Gomez’s “Anxiety”), the country’s best-selling graphic novel (Raina Telgemeier’s Guts), and a whole cohort’s sense of humor (see Generation Z’s seemingly bottomless appetite for anxiety memes). The New York Times has even published a roundup of anxiety-themed books for little ones. “Anxiety is on the rise in all age groups,” it explained, “and toddlers are not immune.”

How do you inoculate a child against future anguish? What do you do if your child already seems overwhelmed in the here and now?

The good news is that new forms of treatment for children’s anxiety disorders are emerging—and, as we’ll see, that treatment can forestall a host of later problems. Even so, there is a problem with much of the anxiety about children’s anxiety, and it brings us closer to the heart of the matter. Anxiety disorders are well worth preventing, but anxiety itself is not something to be warded off. It is a universal and necessary response to stress and uncertainty. I heard repeatedly from therapists and researchers while reporting this piece that anxiety is uncomfortable but, as with most discomfort, we can learn to tolerate it.

Yet we are doing the opposite: Far too often, we insulate our children from distress and discomfort entirely. And children who don’t learn to cope with distress face a rough path to adulthood. A growing number of middle- and high-school students appear to be avoiding school due to anxiety or depression; some have stopped attending entirely. As a symptom of deteriorating mental health, experts say, “school refusal” is the equivalent of a four-alarm fire, both because it signals profound distress and because it can lead to so-called failure to launch—seen in the rising share of young adults who don’t work or attend school and who are dependent on their parents.

Lynn Lyons, a therapist and co-author of Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents, told me that the childhood mental-health crisis risks becoming self-perpetuating: “The worse that the numbers get about our kids’ mental health—the more anxiety, depression, and suicide increase—the more fearful parents become. The more fearful parents become, the more they continue to do the things that are inadvertently contributing to these problems.”

Read: What the coronavirus will do to kids

This is the essence of our moment. The problem with kids today is also a crisis of parenting today, which is itself growing worse as parental stress rises, for a variety of reasons. And so we have a vicious cycle in which adult stress leads to child stress, which leads to more adult stress, which leads to an epidemic of anxiety at all ages.

I. The Seeds of Anxiety

Over the past two or three decades, epidemiologists have conducted large, nationally representative studies screening children for psychiatric disorders, then following those children into adulthood. As a result, we now know that anxiety disorders are by far the most common psychiatric condition in children, and are far more common than we thought 20 or 30 years ago. We know they affect nearly a third of adolescents ages 13 to 18, and that their median age of onset is 11, although some anxiety disorders start much earlier (the median age for a phobia to start is 7).

Many cases of childhood anxiety go away on their own—and if you don’t have an anxiety disorder in childhood, you’re unlikely to develop one as an adult. Less happily, the cases that don’t resolve tend to get more severe and to lead to further problems—first additional anxiety disorders, then mood and substance-abuse disorders. “Age 4 might be specific phobia. Age 7 is going to be separation anxiety plus the specific phobia,” says Anne Marie Albano, the director of the Columbia University Clinic for Anxiety and Related Disorders. “Age 12 is going to be separation anxiety, social anxiety, and the specific phobia. Anxiety picks its own friends up first before it branches into the other disorders.” And the earlier it starts, the more likely depression is to follow.

All of which means we can no longer assume that childhood distress is a phase to be grown out of. “The group of kids whose problems don’t go away account for most adults who have problems,” says the National Institute of Mental Health’s Daniel Pine, a leading authority on how anxiety develops in children. “People go on to develop a whole host of other problems that aren’t anxiety.” Ronald C. Kessler, a professor of health-care policy at Harvard, once made this point especially vividly: “Fear of dogs at age 5 or 10 is important not because fear of dogs impairs the quality of your life,” he said. “Fear of dogs is important because it makes you four times more likely to end up a 25-year-old, depressed, high-school-dropout single mother who is drug-dependent.”

Compounding this, the young kids with mental-health problems today may have worse long-term prospects than did similar kids in decades past. That is the conclusion drawn by Ruth Sellers, a University of Sussex research psychologist who examined three longitudinal studies of British youth. Sellers found that youth with mental-health problems at age 7 are more likely to be socially isolated and victimized by peers later in childhood, and to have mental-health and academic difficulties at age 16. Concerningly, despite decreased stigma and increases in mental-health-care spending, these associations have been growing stronger over time.

Big societal shifts such as the ones we’ve undergone in recent years can hit people with particular traits particularly hard. A recent example comes from China, where shy, quiet children used to be well liked and tended to thrive. Following rapid social and economic change in urban areas, values have changed, and these children now tend to be rejected by their peers—and, surely no coincidence, are more prone to depressive symptoms. I thought of this when I met recently with the leaders of a support group for parents of struggling young adults in the Washington, D.C., area, most of whom still live at home. Some of these grown children have psychiatric diagnoses; all have had difficulty with the hurdles and humiliations of life in a deeply competitive culture, one with a narrowing definition of success and a rising cost of living.

The hope of early treatment is that by getting to a child when she’s 7, we may be able to stop or at least slow the distressing trajectory charted by Sellers and other researchers. And cognitive behavioral therapy, the most empirically supported therapy for anxiety, is often sufficient to do just that. In the case of anxiety, CBT typically involves a combination of what’s known as “cognitive restructuring”—learning to spot maladaptive beliefs and challenge them—and exposure to the very things that cause you anxiety. The goal of exposure is to desensitize you to these things and also to give you practice riding out your anxious feelings, rather than avoiding them.

Most of the time, according to the largest and most authoritative study to date, CBT works: After a 12-week course, 60 percent of children with anxiety disorders were “very much improved” or “much improved.” But it isn’t a permanent cure—its results tend to fade over time, and people whose anxiety resurges may need follow-up courses.

A bigger problem is that cognitive behavioral therapy can only work if the patient is motivated, and many anxious children have approximately zero interest in battling their fears. And CBT focuses on the child’s role in his or her anxiety disorder, while neglecting the parents’ responses to that anxiety. (Even when a parent participates in the therapy, the emphasis typically remains on what the child, not the parent, is doing.)

A highly promising new treatment out of Yale University’s Child Study Center called SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) takes a different approach. SPACE treats kids without directly treating kids, and by instead treating their parents. It is as effective as CBT, according to a widely noted study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry earlier this year, and reaches even those kids who refuse help. Not surprisingly, it has provoked a tremendous amount of excitement in the children’s-mental-health world—so much so that when I began reporting this piece, I quickly lost track of the number of people who asked whether I’d read about it yet, or talked with Eli Lebowitz, the psychology professor who created it.

In working directly with parents, Lebowitz’s approach aims to provide not a temporary solution, but a foundation for a lifetime of successful coping. SPACE is also, I have come to believe, much more than a way of treating childhood anxiety—it is an important keyhole to the broken way American adults now approach parenting.

When lebowitz teaches other clinicians how to do SPACE, he starts by telling them, several times, that he’s not blaming parents for their kids’ pathologies.

“Because we represent a field with a very rich history of blaming parents for pretty much everything—autism, schizophrenia, eating disorders—this is a really important point,” he said one Sunday morning in January, as he and his collaborator Yaara Shimshoni kicked off a two-day training for therapists. A few dozen were in attendance, having traveled to Yale from across the country so that they might learn to help parents reduce what Lebowitz calls “accommodating” behaviors and what the rest of us may call “behaviors typical of a 21st-century parent.”

“There really isn’t evidence to demonstrate that parents cause children’s anxiety disorders in the vast majority of cases,” Lebowitz said. But—and this is a big but—there is research establishing a correlation between children’s anxiety and parents’ behavior. SPACE, he continued, is predicated on the simple idea that you can combat a kid’s anxiety disorder by reducing parental accommodation—basically, those things a parent does to alleviate a child’s anxious feelings. If a child is afraid of dogs, an accommodation might be walking her across the street so as to avoid one. If a child is scared of the dark, it might be letting him sleep in your bed.

Lebowitz borrowed the concept about a decade ago from the literature on how obsessive-compulsive disorder affects a patient’s family members and vice versa. (As he put it to me, family members end up living as though they, too, have OCD: “Everybody’s washing their hands. Everybody’s changing their clothes. Nobody’s saying this word or that word.”) In the years since, accommodation has become a focus of anxiety research. We now know that about 95 percent of parents of anxious children engage in accommodation. We also know that higher degrees of accommodation are associated with more severe anxiety symptoms, more severe impairment, and worse treatment outcomes. These findings have potential implications even for children who are not (yet) clinically anxious: The everyday efforts we make to prevent kids’ distress—minimizing things that worry them or scare them, assisting with difficult tasks rather than letting them struggle—may not help them manage it in the long term. When my daughter is in tears because she hasn’t finished a school project that’s due the next morning, I sometimes stop her crying by coaching her through the rest of it. But when I do, she doesn’t learn to handle deadline jitters. When she asks me whether anyone in our family will die of COVID-19, an unequivocal “No, don’t worry” may reassure her now, but a longer, harder conversation about life’s uncertainties might do more to help her in the future.

Despite more than a decade’s evidence that helicopter parenting is counterproductive, kids today are perhaps more overprotected, more leery of adulthood, more in need of therapy.

Parents know they aren’t helping their kids by accommodating their fears; they tell Lebowitz as much. But they also say they don’t know how to stop. They fear that day-to-day life will become unmanageable.

The priest who had the number of the beast:

Father Gabriel Amorth (pictured), who was the Vatican’s chief exorcist, was convinced he faced evil incarnate one morning in 1997 when a young Italian man was brought to his small consulting room in Rome

The priest who had the number of the beast: As the Vatican’s chief exorcist for 30 years, Father Gabriel Amorth claimed to have dealt with the devil 60,000 times. Now a new book tells his head-spinning story

• Father Gabriel Amorth often asked to help people whose troubles were mundane
• But he is convinced he faced evil incarnate one morning in 1997 in Rome, Italy
• Young Italian man was brought accompanied by a by his priest and a translator

By TOM LEONARD FOR THE DAILY MAIL

As the Vatican’s chief exorcist, Father Gabriel Amorth was often asked to help people whose troubles turned out to be far more mundane than demonic possession.

However, he was convinced he faced evil incarnate one morning in 1997 when a young Italian man was brought to his small consulting room in Rome.

The peasant was accompanied by his priest and another man. The latter was a translator.

For while the afflicted man spoke only Italian, the evil spirit inside him spoke perfect English, he was told.

Fr Amorth started the exorcism in Latin and the moment he mentioned Jesus’s name, the young man fixed his gaze on him and began to yell curses and threats in English, then spitting and making out as if about to attack him.

When the exorcist arrived at the prayer Praecipio tibi (‘I command you’), the demon briefly went quiet.

‘But then, screaming and howling, the demon burst forth and looked straight at him, drooling saliva from the young man’s mouth,’ writes Marcello ­Stanzione, a fellow Catholic priest who worked with Fr Amorth.

Fr Amorth continued the ‘rite of liberation’, demanding the demonic presence reveal its name. He was shocked when he was told it was Lucifer himself. Momentarily shaken to be confronting the Devil, he nevertheless ploughed on.

The possessed man resumed his shrieking, twisting his head back and rolling his eyes, his back arched for quarter of an hour. The room became extremely cold and ice crystals formed on the windows and walls.

Moments after the exorcist ordered Lucifer to abandon the peasant, the young man’s body stiffened and began to levitate, hovering three feet in the air for several minutes before collapsing into a chair.

Finally, Satan admitted defeat, announcing the exact day and hour when he would leave the man’s body. It sounds like the stuff of horror fiction.

But Fr Stanzione insists it all happened. He has just written a book, The Devil Is Afraid Of Me, containing astonishing new details — including the horrific demonic encounter in 1997 — about the extraordinary life of Fr Amorth.

A man who was dubbed the Dean of Exorcists but who in the flesh looked more like a friendly tortoise than a grim vanquisher of evil, Fr Amorth said he conducted a staggering 60,000 exorcisms over a 30-year period. 

The Pope’s chief exorcist died aged 91 in 2016, prompting national mourning in Italy, where an estimated 500,000 people visit an exorcist each year.

Although as official exorcist for the diocese of Rome he was the Catholic Church’s most famous and controversial exorcist, he was far from its only one.

There are at least 400 in the world. Even in the traditionally sceptical UK, the church says it is carrying out an increasing number of exorcisms.

Most of his colleagues prefer to practise their peculiar craft in the shadows — and the church, wary of ridicule, encourages that — but Fr Amorth was more than happy to discuss how he fought the powers of darkness.

The Bible records that Jesus himself drove out demons but provides few details, leaving ­Hollywood to fill in the blanks.

The terrifying 1973 film The ­Exorcist remains the go-to reference work, its story of a little girl transformed into a projectile-vomiting, blaspheming horror was loosely based on a reallife exorcism in the U.S. Fr Amorth said it was his favourite film, arguing that although the special effects were over-the-top, it was ‘substantially’ accurate and helped people understand his work.

The possessed ‘isn’t a bad person, only a suffering one,’ he claimed.

The youngest of five sons of a lawyer in the town of Modena, Fr Amorth fought as a teenager in the Italian resistance in World War II (earning a bravery medal).

He later became a lawyer himself and briefly worked for the future Italian prime minister Giulio Andreotti before taking holy orders in 1951.

It was in 1986 that he became an apprentice exorcist and he went on to set up the International Association of Exorcists in 1990. 

He initially conducted exorcisms in Rome’s famous Church of the Holy Stairs until the shrieks drove away the faithful.

He then moved to the headquarters of his order, the Paulist Fathers, and converted a small, nine by 15ft room into his exorcism room — well away from the street so passers-by couldn’t hear the screaming and call the police.

Half a dozen chairs lined the walls for his assistant exorcists and the afflicted’s loved ones, and a worn-out brown velvet armchair for the patient.

Particularly troubled souls might have to be tied down with straps on a small bed.

The patient would always be violent so exorcists never practise alone. 

The walls were decorated with eight crucifixes, pictures of Mary and one of the Archangel Michael, leader of God’s army.

He would also have a photo of Pope John Paul II which apparently made devils ‘particularly irritable’.

The priest kept the tools of his trade in an old briefcase: two wooden crucifixes, an aspergillum for sprinkling holy water and a vial of consecrated oil. He also used a purple priest’s stole, wrapping it round the patient’s neck, and a book of prayers containing the official exorcism formulae.

He was famous for his sense of humour — not the obvious prerequisite for an exorcist — and always started off each ritual by literally thumbing his nose at the Devil.

According to Marcello Stanzione, during an exorcism a demon accused him of being a glutton. ‘Well, what’s it to you?,’ he shot back.

A favourite Amorth quip was to say: ‘You know why the devil flees when he sees me? Because I’m uglier than he is.’

Although the Catholic Church officially recognises exorcism, its modernisers see it as a medieval hangover that plays on superstition to strengthen religious devotion.

Fr Amorth freely admitted many who came to him had mental problems best dealt with by a psychologist, and he estimated he only came across around 100 genuine cases of possession.

People came to Fr Amorth from as far away as the UK and Spain after having trouble finding exorcists closer to home. His exorcisms could involve a single straightforward prayer or take months and repeated ceremonies.

It could even take years. Early in his career, he helped an exorcist named Fr Negrini near Brescia, northern Italy, with a supposedly possessed 14-year-old girl. 

When Fr Amorth joined Negrini in a session with the girl, the latter asked the demon: ‘Why have you taken this girl.’

It replied: ‘Because she is the best of the parish.’ It took Negrini another 12 years to free the girl, says Stanzione. Fr Amorth would carry out some exorcisms on the telephone and even on Skype.

Appointments lasted on average 30 minutes and Fr Amorth could conduct five every morning, doing paperwork in between.

Typical symptoms of demonic procession could be mundane, such as violent headaches and stomach cramps, he said, so it was easy to confuse it with an ordinary illness.

He often wouldn’t know for sure until he had conducted the rituals and observed the reaction. He said the Devil particularly hated hearing Latin and often preferred to speak in English, even when the possessed person couldn’t usually speak a word of it.

They also liked to spit — experienced exorcists hold a cloth near their face in readiness — and, rather more alarmingly, vomit shards of glass or pieces of iron, and even rose petals.

Fr Amorth kept a collection of regurgitated nails, keys and plastic figurines to prove it.

On one occasion, he claimed a devil said a possessed woman would bring up a transistor radio and, sure enough, she began spitting out pieces of it. Almost supernatural strength was not infrequent.

Fr Amorth said he once saw a possessed boy of 11 hurling off three big policemen as they tried to hold him down and a ten-year-old pick up a huge table.

How did all these unfortunates come to be possessed?

In 90 per cent of cases, Fr Amorth blamed Satanists or ‘someone who has acted with Satanic perfidy’. 

The remaining cases he blamed on people participating in practices such as seances.

Most of those he saw were middle-aged women, a fact he blamed on their weakness for seeing fortune tellers, who remain very popular in Italy.

Just months before the priest’s death in 2016, William Friedkin — the Oscar-winning director of The Exorcist — became the first person to be allowed to film him perform an actual exorcism.

The resulting documentary makes for unsettling viewing as the patient, an Italian woman in her late 30s, thrashes violently, shouting defiance in a guttural voice that — for whatever reason — simply doesn’t sound human.

Fr Amorth believed the woman was genuinely possessed, after being cursed by her brother and his girlfriend, who were satanists. Friedkin, an agnostic who hadn’t expected to see anything authentic, said the experience was ‘terrifying’.

Top neurosurgeons and psychiatrists he showed his film to were genuinely flummoxed. Cynics might wonder why only those who genuinely believe in the Devil seem to be possessed by him.

For Fr Amorth, who railed against the scepticism of the modern age, such cynicism suits Lucifer just fine.

‘The Devil is always hiding,’ he warned, ‘and the thing he wants above all is that we don’t believe he exists’.

The United States of ALEC: Bill Moyers on the Secretive Corporate-Legislative Body Writing Our Laws

Democracy Now! premieres “The United States of ALEC,” a special report by legendary journalist Bill Moyers on how the secretive American Legislative Exchange Council has helped corporate America propose and even draft legislation for states across the country. ALEC brings together major U.S. corporations and right-wing legislators to craft and vote on “model” bills behind closed doors. It has come under increasing scrutiny for its role in promoting “stand your ground” gun laws, voter suppression bills, union-busting policies and other controversial legislation. Although billing itself as a “nonpartisan public-private partnership,” ALEC is actually a national network of state politicians and powerful corporations principally concerned with increasing corporate profits without public scrutiny. Moyers’ special will air this weekend on Moyers & Company, but first airs on Democracy Now! today. “The United States of ALEC” is a collaboration between Okapi Productions, LLC and the Schumann Media Center.

A Kleptocratic Sadistic Federal Government’ — Sarah Kendzior On Trump’s Power, Coronavirus Response

By ALEX HEUER • APR 6, 2020

St. Louis-based writer Sarah Kendzior garnered national attention for her reporting and commentary during events in Ferguson in 2014.

Kendzior’s earlier book, “The View from Flyover Country: Dispatches from a Forgotten America,” explored labor issues, racism, gentrification, media bias and other subjects connected to the election of President Donald Trump.

Her new book is “Hiding in Plain Sight: The Invention of Donald Trump and the Erosion of America.” It debuts tomorrow and expands upon Trump’s rise to power since the 1980s.

“I do feel like my book sheds some light on the kind of social and economic and political conditions that have made it as bad as it is,” explained Kendzior, in reference to the current coronavirus pandemic. “This is a public health catastrophe. It’s a human tragedy.”

St. Louis-based writer Sarah Kendzior is the author of the new book, ‘Hiding in Plain Sight: The Invention of Donald Trump and the Erosion of America.’

While some people view Trump’s lack of timely action as incompetence, Kendzior says it’s actually malice.

“He covers up crimes with scandal, and he’s been doing that for 40 years and it’s not just Trump,” Kendzior told St. Louis on the Air host Sarah Fenske. “It’s not like Trump is some geopolitical mastermind. He’s backed by a large cohort of people who are using him as a vehicle for their own interests and that ranges from organized crime and kleptocrats to theocrats to ideological extremists to white supremacists — they have all seen Trump as a means to their own ends.”

Kendzior has an academic background to back up her claims about Trump’s autocratic tendencies. She has a Ph.D. in anthropology and wrote her dissertation about Uzbekistan’s authoritarian dictatorship.

Kendzior frequently points to similarities between Trump and other autocratic leaders throughout the world.

“We have a kleptocratic sadistic federal government that wants to exploit this [coronavirus] crisis for their own gain — for financial gain — to entrench their power and to consolidate their autocracy,” she said, citing examples of leaders in Hungary, Israel and Russia.

“No autocrat wastes a crisis, and that’s what the Trump administration is doing and they’re doing it in a twofold way. They’re exploiting it for short-term financial gain through the medical industry through buying up supplies and refusing to give them to the states and citizens who need them.

“But I think they have a longer-term game, which is basically ‘disaster capitalism.’ It’s allowing the country and the system to collapse so that they can profit off of it and rebuild it so that they can rebuild it in their own narrow image of what an American is, and that will entail a great suppression of American freedom,” Kendzior said.

This isn’t the first time that Trump, according to Kendzior, has wished ill on the American way of doing things.

“I have firsthand quotes from [Trump] going back to the 1980s about his intent to destroy the American economy, about his connection to the Kremlin but more specifically to transnational organized crime, of which the Kremlin is just a part. This is a long, ongoing story,” she said.

1st federal inmate to die of coronavirus wrote heartbreaking letter to judge

Patrick Jones “spent the last 12 years contesting a sentence that ultimately killed him,” one of his former lawyers said.

April 5, 2020, 7:35 AM CDT

By Rich Schapiro

In the months before the coronavirus infiltrated the U.S., a 49-year-old inmate began drafting a letter inside the walls of a federal prison in Louisiana.

The man, Patrick Jones, had been locked up for nearly 13 years on a nonviolent drug charge. He hadn’t seen his youngest son, then 16, since the boy was a toddler.

“I feel that my conviction and sentence was also a punishment that my child has had to endure also and there are no words for how remorseful I am,” Jones wrote to U.S. District Judge Alan Albright in a letter dated Oct. 15, 2019. “Years of ‘I am sorry’ don’t seem to justify the absence of a father or the chance of having purpose in life by raising my child.”

Jones had been arrested in 2007 after cops found 19 grams of crack and 21 grams of powder cocaine inside the apartment he shared with his wife in Temple, Texas. His wife testified against him and was spared a prison sentence.

Jones wasn’t so fortunate. He was ultimately ordered to spend 27 years behind bars, in part because he lived within 1,000 feet of a junior college and already had a long rap sheet, mostly burglaries that he committed when he was a teenager living on the streets.

He was now writing the judge in the hope of receiving a sentence reduction through the newly-signed First Step Act, which offered relief to some inmates convicted of nonviolent drug crimes.

“My child having his own experience of raising his own child would validate my life experience and give meaning to my existence in this world, because 83582-180 has no meaning,” he wrote, referring to his federal inmate number.

“It is just a number to be forgotten in time. But Mr. Patrick Estell Jones is a very good person. Caring, hard working, free and clean of drugs and a lot smarter now, with a balanced outlook on life.”

The judge denied the request on Feb. 26, 2020. Twenty two days later, Patrick Estell Jones was dead, the first federal inmate to die of the coronavirus.

He had contracted COVID-19 at the low-security prison in Oakdale, La., a penitentiary now dealing with the deadliest outbreak of any of the 122 federal facilities.

“He spent the last 12 years contesting a sentence that ultimately killed him,” said Alison Looman, a New York-based attorney who had represented Jones in an earlier unsuccessful bid for clemency. “Ironically, it seems it is his death that might finally bring his case some attention.”

The U.S. has seen a movement in the past several years to reduce the sentences of nonviolent drug offenders, but criminal justice reform advocates say Jones’s case illustrates the limits of that effort.

“You see everything that is wrong with our sentencing system in this case,” said Kevin Ring, president of the criminal justice advocacy group FAMM.

Ring ticked off the series of factors that led to Jones’s lengthy prison term: a questionable accounting of the amount of drugs he was selling, his apartment’s proximity to a junior college, his decision to go to trial rather than take a plea and a criminal record that was largely made up of teenage offenses.

“He was no choir boy but his life had meaning,” Ring said. “I feel like his life was taken from him when he was sentenced and then he was killed in prison, and both of those things should trouble us.”

Jones’s death also focused attention on the beleaguered prison in southern Louisiana. A total of five Oakdale prisoners have died from COVID-19, officials said, and so many have come down with presumed cases that officials had temporarily stopped testing them for it.

At least 18 inmates and four staffers have tested positive, according to the Bureau of Prisons, but prison union leaders say the numbers are significantly higher.

“You’re just afraid all the time,” said an Oakdale corrections officer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he’s not authorized to speak to the media. “You’re afraid of catching it and bringing it home to your family. You’re afraid of spreading it in the community.”

The coronavirus pandemic has wreaked havoc on jails and prisons across the country. Earlier this week, the federal Bureau of Prisons announced that it was locking down all inmates in their cells or quarters, with limited exceptions, for 14 days, but new cases keep popping up.

“There’s a feeling of terror not knowing when this is going to end,” the Oakdale staffer said.

Jones arrived at the prison in April 2017. It would be the last stop in a hardscrabble life that began in Temple, Texas.

His childhood was marked by tumult. Jones was initially raised by his great grandmother but he spent much of his pre-teen years at a group home for children and shuffling between relatives and friends, according to his clemency petition and a government court filing quoting an interview with him. He was on and off the streets during his teenage years, the clemency petition says.

His first run-in with the law came when he was 17, court filings say. Jones was arrested twice in the span of two months on theft and burglary charges. He was charged as an adult and ultimately spent two years in prison.

Jones was released in August 1991 but he didn’t stay out of trouble. He was arrested in May 1992 after he sold cocaine to an undercover officer, according to court records. Jones pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

He was released on parole in 2000 and eventually settled in an apartment in Temple, a few blocks from the local community college. Temple police officers showed up at his home in January 2007 looking for a woman on an outstanding warrant, court records say.

After discovering crack and powder cocaine inside the residence, they arrested Jones and his wife of two months, Sharon, court documents say.

The woman targeted by police wasn’t at the apartment but she was later taken into custody. The woman, Frances Whitlock, told police she sold crack cocaine for the Joneses, averaging about five to ten deliveries a day and sometimes made as many as 30, court documents say.

Sharon Jones agreed to testify against her husband. At his trial, she testified that they had been selling the drugs for about two months. She said they would sell a half ounce of crack every other day, earning about $1,000 every day, court documents say.

The jury found Patrick Jones guilty of possession with intent to distribute at least 5 grams of crack cocaine. His wife received a term of three years’ probation after the government recommended a reduced sentence citing her cooperation, court filings say.

At his sentencing, Jones was held accountable for 425 grams of crack – 22 times the amount that was in his apartment – based on the testimony from his wife that they sold a half ounce every other day from Thanksgiving 2006 until the day of their arrest in January 2007.

The government also used several other factors to enhance Jones’s sentencing guidelines: his apartment’s proximity to Temple College, his role as an “organizer” of criminal activity for enlisting Whitlock to deliver the drugs, his decision to fight the charges at trial and his offenses when he was 17 and 21.

In the case of his previous arrests, the government treated each charge as a separate sentence, which had the effect of further driving up his sentencing guidelines.

Jones was sentenced to the minimum term under the guidelines, but it was still 30 years. His sentence was later reduced to 27 years after the U.S. Sentencing Commission amended the crack guidelines to reduce the disparity between powder and crack cocaine.

Jones’s younger sister recalled being stunned by the severity of his sentence. “My brother made some bad decisions in life but that doesn’t make him a bad person,” Debra Canady told NBC News.

In the years after his sentencing, she remained in close touch with her brother who wrote frequently, she said, asking for updates on the youngest of his three sons, Kyrell.

Jones filed a bid for clemency in Oct. 2016 pointing to court rulings and changes in sentencing guidelines that would have directly impacted his case. Jones’s lawyers argued that if he were sentenced then he likely would have received a term at least 10 years less than the one he had received.

“With good time credit,” the petition said, “Mr. Jones would have already served his entire sentence.”

The petition noted that he had no history of violence or ties to gangs, had spent his childhood “with no permanent home,” and that he was a model inmate who worked his way up to head baker–”a profession he hopes to pursue upon his release.”

In January 2017, his lawyers received word from the Justice Department’s Office of the Pardon Attorney: the petition was denied.

Looman recalled that when she delivered the news to Jones, he immediately expressed concern about her and wondered aloud if she might lose her job as a result.

“It is a telling example of what a kind and compassionate person Patrick is,” Looman later wrote to his judge.

The First Step Act signed by President Donald Trump in December 2018 offered Jones a glimmer of hope.

In his motion for a sentence reduction under the law, Jones’s lawyers said shaving off years of his prison term would “support the mandate from Congress and President Trump to reduce unnecessarily lengthy sentences for defendants like Mr. Jones.”

Prosecutors took a starkly different position, emphasizing his previous convictions and his “leadership role” in his “‘crack’ distribution enterprise.”

“Jones was not a small time crack dealer whose sentence far outweighed the scope of his criminal activity,” prosecutors said in court papers.

The judge, in a ruling filed in February, sided with the government.

“Jones is a career offender with multiple prior offenses and a history of recidivating each time he is placed on parole,” Albright said in his order.

“Though the bulk of Jones’s offenses were committed at age 17, Jones displayed his continuing criminal tendencies by committing offenses each time he was released from custody.”

Albright couldn’t be reached for comment.

Looman didn’t handle Jones’s effort to get relief through the First Step Act, but she kept in touch with him via the federal prison email system.

“Happy New Year to you and may this year bring great things your way,” Jones wrote to her this past New Year’s Eve.

On Feb. 27, the day after the judge’s ruling, Jones sent her a message that made it clear he had yet to get the news.

“I’ve just been awaiting to hear something good for a change as far as legal issues go,” Jones wrote. “…But I have not got anymore info to what may be coming forth It’s been a lot of movement around here lately I hope I’m in the making for that kind of release also.”

The following month, Jones and Looman exchanged messages that referenced the coronavirus. The deadly illness was sweeping across the U.S. and there were escalating concerns of outbreaks inside detention facilities.

“I am doing well as fare (sic) as coronavirus goes and staying safe and healthy,” Jones wrote on March 14, five days before he would complain to Oakdale staffers about a persistent cough, according to federal prison officials.

He went on to say in his message to Looman that he found out the judge ruled against him, which was news even to Looman, and he revealed why it took him so long to get word: his lawyer had left the public defender’s office two months earlier.

“I talked to the head person and he said it was on him that I was not contacted and that he was going to get his people on top of the appeal,” Jones wrote. “…Anyway, enough about my problems. Are you likening (sic) the work from home thing?”

Looman replied a few days later.

She never heard back.

Bruce Cain Questions Doctor on Connection between EMF Radiation and the Virus Outbreak

Bruce Cain

(03/27/2020) Stop5G Activist Bruce Cain questions Doctor — CSPAN/Washington Journal — on Connection between EMF Radiation and the Virus Outbreak. Apparently he sees no connection and is unaware of the work of Martin Pall (retired Professor Emeritus in Biology, Washington State University).

5G: An Existential threat to our Health, Privacy and Freedom [This is the video of my testimony before the Dearborn Heights City Council, (7/23/2019) Approximately 40 minutes, 3594 views as of 03/16/2020] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPITu…

Despite our collective efforts the 5G antennas are going up globally and our local governments have been unable to stop their deployment. Compounding our problems is the fact that Corporate Media refuses to even discuss the dangers of 5G while the Big Tech platforms are actively censoring our efforts.

The only way we will prevail is by uniting globally in our primary demands which are now quite obvious. The primary purpose of my FB group is to unite the entire Stop5G movement behind these 3 primary goals so that we can focus our effort like a magnifying glass on a bright sunny day.

I really do believe this is the path to victory. ===== * Remove all 5G infrastructure from both land and space. * Remove all Smart Meters (Electric, Water and Gas). * Stop all Geoengineering. ===== You will also find a “books-worth” of my essays on 5G — and related issues — here: Bruce Cain’s articles on Stopping 5G and Smart Meters (03/16/2020 Update) https://www.facebook.com/notes/bruce-…

Trump’s Globalist Corona-virus Team “tries” to stop a Cure while ignoring the evidence that 5G is making things worse

BRUCE CAIN·

SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 2020·

READING TIME: 50 MINUTES

Overview:
=====
I’m sure the last week has seemed surreal to all of us . . . globally. In just one week millions of workers have been told to stay at home. Military vehicles have been seen on our highways in large numbers. There is even talk of Martial Law as many cities are instituting lock downs. I’m as concerned as you are. But we must carry on.
A day after President Donald Trump declared an anti-malaria drug may be a “game changer” in the fight against the corona-virus (03/20/2020), the nation’s top infectious disease expert, Fauci, downplayed its significance. Any role it might play, in the fast-moving pandemic, were purely “anecdotal” according to Fauci.
Fauci completely ignored the results of a study (on Fox News’s Tucker Carlson Tonight on Wednesday), claiming that hydroxychloroquine used with azithromycin is the second 100% cure for a virus ever found. Dr. Rigano, who cited the study, also called on President Trump to “authorize the use of hydroxychloroquine against coronavirus immediately.”
But Fauci would rather wait years before a vaccination, that no one wants, while people continue to die. Fauci is a globalist with ties to Big Pharma and other suspect groups. Other members of the Coronavirus team also have connections with these groups. Thanks to the deep research, by internet Open Source Journalists (OSJ’s), it seems obvious that the globalists are not going to let the Coronoavirus pandemic to go to waste. There are obviously other agendas at play — including billions for Big Pharma and a move toward forced vaccination programs.
Meanwhile the globalists (President Trump, Corporate Media, Congress, the Telecoms, the United Nations etc.) continue to force 5G upon every human on planet Earth — despite the existential threats that 5G pose to our Health, Privacy and Freedom. And there is a connection between the coronavirus and 5G.
There are hundreds scientific studies showing that the Coronavirus and other diseases are made far worse from the additional EMF radiation that these 5G antennas produce. It violates both the Nuremberg Code, the Precautionary Principle and most of all: common sense. It appears that the world is now controlled by mindless psychopaths. Something need be done about that.

This essay covers a lot of ground and will require some time. I would suggest scrolling down and watching the videos first. There is a lot to assimilate here.
The essay also looks at a novel approach to cure the virus. What if the cure to the Corona-virus could be resolved with just a hair dryer and a spray bottle full of water? That will be discussed in this essay. And even if it does not work what harm is there in trying it? And if China cuts off our drug supply it might be the only way to fight the disease.

Why we need a better strategy to Stop5G is the reason I recently formed the new Facebook group: “Stop5G/Stop Smart Meter/Stop Geoengineering”

Before I get to the essay I want to invite all of you to join my new Facebook group and encourage you to have your friends and family sign up as well. All of us is all we need.

I have been writing about 5G now for about two years now. The primary purpose of these essays are to convince the people, of planet Earth, that 5G antennas and infrastructure must be removed from both land and space. Period. The same thing goes for Smart Meters. For those new to the Stop5G movement I highly recommend that you first watch this 40 minute video. It is a good primer for those just beginning to learn about the dangers that 5G (and Smart Meters) pose to our Health, Privacy and Freedom.

To fully assimilate each of my Facebook essays I recommend you do the following. First just read the essay. Next explore all of the links (video’s and articles) as you read through it a second time. Finally you might want to explore some of the links (video’s and articles) contained within the comments. In some of these Facebook essays you will find literally hundreds of related links within these comments.

As your understanding about the Stop5G movement broadens you will begin to understand the strategy that I am about to lay out for you. And here it is in a nutshell:

Despite our collective efforts the 5G antennas are going up globally and our local governments have been unable to stop their deployment. Compounding our problems is the fact that Corporate Media refuses to even discuss the dangers of 5G while the Big Tech platforms are actively censoring our efforts.

The only way we will prevail is by uniting globally in our primary demands which are now quite obvious.

=====
* Remove all 5G infrastructure from both land and space.
* Remove all Smart Meters (Electric, Water and Gas).
* Stop all Geoengineering.
=====

As emissaries for the Stop5G movement it is imperative that you share these primary goals with all Stop5G groups: both Facebook groups and Stop5G websites. Finally I recommend you read this essay that lays out a broader strategy to unite other groups that are also threatened by this new era of “No Voice, No Choice.”

Outer Limits 2000 “The Grid” ends with the narrator says the following at the end of the episode:
“When the human mind is made obsolete by advancing technology the soul cannot be far behind.”
Consider that is what we are facing as we enter the 4th Industrial Revolution where everyone will be enslaved within 5G “Smart Cities” (e.g., digital prison camps). This episode, of Outer Limits, is absolutely prophetic considering it came out 20 years ago (as of today 03/22/2020). It perfectly reflects what we are going through today as the Globalists (President Trump, Congress, the Telecoms, the United Nations etc.) force 5G upon every human on planet Earth. There is also scientific studies showing that the Coronavirus and other diseases are made far worse from the additional EMF radiation that these 5G antennas will create. It violates both the Nurenberg Code, the Precautionary Principle and most of all: common sense. It appears that the world is now controlled by mindless psychopaths. Something need be done about that.

And now onto my essay . . .

Coronavirus Task Force Leader Fauci throw cold water on a possible cure for the virus.

So let us start with a meeting that occurred on Friday (03/20/2020) with Trump’s “White House Corona-virus Task Force” which was just established on January 29th, 2020.

=====
White House Coronavirus Task Force
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_Coronavirus_Task_Force
=====

Basically Trump expressed hope in a new anti-malaria drug combination that seems help those with the Corona-virus. Fauci, who is a big advocate of a vaccine (no one wants), threw cold water on the whole idea.

=====
A day after President Donald Trump declared an anti-malaria drug a “game changer” in the fight against the novel coronavirus, the nation’s top infectious disease expert downplayed any role it might play in the fast-moving pandemic and said signs of the drug’s promise were purely “anecdotal.”

Fauci’s statements at a White House briefing Friday amounted to clinical cold water thrown on the president’s repeated upbeat assessments on the U.S. fight against the virus, also known as COVID-19.

Fauci throws cold water on Trump’s declaration that malaria drug chloroquine is a ‘game changer.’ Fauci says chloroquine hasn’t been studied on coronavirus.

=====

Fauici has links to the United Nations, Bill Gates and others that are pushing for a One World Government under Agenda21. They all favor forced vaccinations, 5G (which activates viruses) and all sorts of other globalist crap. So why not at least try this combination of drugs — hydroxychloroquine used with azithromycin — as Dr. Rigano claims it to be a 100% cure for the virus? In highly recommend you watch the interview between Carlson Tucker and Dr. Rigano. You will find it by bringing up the link below.

=====
Anthony Fauci is the leading expert in the United States on infectious diseases and has downplayed the existence of a cure and has said that many drugs are currently being tested that may lessen the severity of the coronavirus. The best medical tool doctors can hope for is a vaccine, which Fauci said is about a year to 18 months away from completion.

Rigano touted the results of the study on Fox News’s Tucker Carlson Tonight on Wednesday, claiming that hydroxychloroquine used with azithromycin is the second 100% cure for a virus ever found. Rigano also called on President Trump to “authorize the use of hydroxychloroquine against coronavirus immediately.”

Malaria drug sees promising signs as future coronavirus treatment
by Tim Pearce, March 18, 2020
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/malaria-drug-sees-promising-signs-as-future-coronavirus-treatment
=====
Despite Fauci’s skepticism Trump was able to begin distributing hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin to New York just a few days later (03/22/2020). Trump should be applauded for this. And would it not be great if this leads to a 100% cure rate as was reported by an earlier study? I would expect that we will have the answer to that question in just a few weeks.
Screw Fauci. As you will see, in the two great reports by “Polly,” Fauci is a globalist fox in sheep’s clothing. It seems clear that he is trying to push a Corona vaccine and quite possibly forced vaccinations. And so are other members of Trump’s Corona-virus Committee.
=====
New York state will begin using trial drugs Tuesday to combat the rise in coronavirus cases, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Sunday. The state has secured 70,000 doses of hydroxychloroquine, 10,000 of Zithromax, and 750,000 of chloroquine, he said during a news conference.

Before watching Polly’s two investigative videos, on Trump Coronavirus Committee, I would recommend you read this overview and watch the short introductory video.

=====
• The U.S. Government’s PEPFAR is the largest funder of any nation to a single disease in the world, and the largest donor to the Global Fund, to the tune of over $90 billion to date. Despite this, due to the fact that the Global Fund is located in Geneva, Switzerland, it is not subject to U.S. taxation, jurisdiction, or law. George W. Bush’s 2006 executive order afforded the Global Fund additional exemptions, privileges, and immunities.

• Three U.S. Presidents, over 35 governments, the UNDP, the Global Fund, GAVI, and over two dozen major non-profits along with countless smaller ones, have been cashing in for nearly two decades.

• Bill and Melinda Gates, Jeffrey Sachs, Kofi Annan, and Amir Attaran are listed as the founders of The Global Fund, but who really strategized and implemented its structure, its funding, and its “immunity” status?

• In 2015 USAID awarded Chemonics $9.5 billion to fund these supply chain programs. Only 7% of the drug shipments were delivered on time and in full. This is just one example. There are countless scandals throughout this book.

• There are allegedly 23.3 million people on HIV treatment. The new three-in-one pill runs $75/year per person in developing countries. The Clintons, among others, are cashing in on this new drug. An almost identical therapy in the U.S. runs $39,000 per person, per year. The global HIV drugs market exceeded a value of $24.7 billion in 2018.

As she goes through this let me post the summary graphic, connecting all these globalist slime-balls. She should be applauded for this: tying all these “globalist suspects” together in one single image.

And here is the raw transcript:

=====
the subject for today is the coronavirus task force I really apologize for doing a coronavirus video again because I’m sure you’re really tired of hearing about it but the thing is this is one of the first times that I’ve gotten to debunk or counter a huge event in real time and there’s just some things that I think are important for people to see while it’s going on because once something like this is over everybody’s just so relieved to get back to normal that they don’t they bury it because it’s traumatic and we all do that what most of us do that we we don’t want to revisit horrible horrible things that happen terrifying things that happen I think it’s one of the main reasons that women who are raped refused to charge bring charges against their the perpetrator because you just want to get on with your life so while this coronavirus mania it’s a mania is happening I want to debunk it I want to show the flip side I don’t mean debunk as in it’s fake I I have no idea what’s going on but in this video I want to give you some clues because my feeling is that this is kind of an extension of that event 201 which I’ve covered in two previous videos and other people are talking about as well there’s a lot of commentators out there right now covering this from a lot of angles and you know what it’s worth your time to listen to a few different viewpoints because there’s a lot a lot of material coming out to suggest that this virus they don’t even have a real test for it the test was rushed to market and it’s phony the the positives and negatives that it’s giving out are in question in a big way the way they’re conducting the the tests and the modeling is so flawed it’s based on data that is improperly collected so there’s all of that happening which I’m not going into today if you want someone who is an expert on this topic there’s two great things that I can recommend one is a translated video from a virologist a virology specialist in I think he might be from Denmark or Norway I’ll put the link to that in the description box and also John Rappaport he’s been studying pandemics and fake health scares for a long time and he’s very well-versed in this and his blog is called no more fake news a link to that in the description box as well for this video I want to show you the way I detect that things are not right and that’s by looking at the people involved and the coronavirus task force which is headed by vice-president Mike Pence who I loved so I am NOT prejudiced against this guy I’m not biased against Mike Pence I liked Mike Pence a lot and maybe I still do I don’t know he features in this because he’s heading the task force and he chose deborah birx deborah birx is the woman that comes on with her shawls and apparently she blinks a lot personally I haven’t noticed because I don’t list it I don’t watch when she’s not talking you know and she’s in the background apparently that’s she blinks a lot that woman who is acting like everybody’s mother when she talks to us I can’t stand her patronizing tone when she talks all I can think of is grooming she’s grooming she is not being sincere she’s not genuine she’s not giving us proper facts what she’s doing is like SIOP NLP NLP is like neuro linguistic programming is sort of hypnotism using trigger words using emotional flashpoints appealing to ego appealing to fear appealing to guilt and your conscience in fact let’s listen to something that she said about Millennials and the new data coming out listen to this we think part of this may be that people heated the early data coming out of China and coming out of South Korea without the elderly or those with pre-existing medical conditions where at particular risk it may have been that the millennial generation our largest generation our future generation that will carry us through for the next multiple decades there may be disproportional number of infections among that group and so even if it’s a rare occurrence it may be seen more frequently in that group and be evident now but we are concerned about the early reports coming out of Italy and France so again I’m going to call on that generation that’s part of that group that brought us innovation particularly throughout all of their ability to look around corners and skip through games on I always went level by level I didn’t realize that you could go from level three to level seven that’s what they’ve taught us they look for things that we don’t see we need them to be healthy so again not only calling on you to adhere what’s in the agai dense but to really ensure that each and every one of you are protecting each other and so what was that she strokes there we go you’re you’re the greatest biggest generation with all this creativity and you think outside of the box and you’re able to use digital technology like nobody else and you’re still good at video games I’m so bad at video games uh-huh and then she switches to you you guys are responsible for teaching the world about this she tries to scare them with this new data that’s supposedly coming out and she doesn’t even make any sense listen to this part again and so even if it’s a rare occurrence it may be seen more frequently in so is it rare or is it actually quite common it’s things like that that make me doubt and in this video we’re gonna go through all of this stuff I can’t go into every tentacle and exactly why it’s a cause for concern but I’m just going to lay some groundwork for you here and I hope that I’ll make a difference I hope that I’ll make a difference I hope I’ll help you to decide who to trust so in this post from March 16th 2020 from The Washington Times it talks about the background of deborah birx white house coronavirus response coordinator dr. Burks cut her teeth in public health with the hiv/aids epidemic starting her career in immunology in 1985 blah blah blah she rose to be the head of the president’s emergency plans for AIDS relief and this they call PEPFAR I’ve got to read you this story about what John Kerry said as in in the ceremony for naming this woman to be head of this agency mm-hmm it says the hiv/aids epidemic hit home for Debra in 1983 immediately after the birth of her older daughter her obstetrician ordered a blood transfusion but she refused it based on her knowledge of the mysterious new infection that appeared to have contaminated the nation’s blood supply she was a doctor at that point wasn’t she and she knew enough she knew that the blood supply was tainted she actually refused a supposedly life-saving measure for herself or a very needed emergency measure because she was that scared that she herself would receive aids tainted blood all right former Secretary of State John Kerry told that story at her April 2014 swearing-in as ambassador at large and us global aids coordinator quote and literally just before she’d passed out from pain Debby screamed do not let them give me blood mr. Kerry said quote her husband refused the transfusion and it is a mighty good thing that he did because the hospital learned later that the blood the blood of her type that they would have used was contaminated with HIV it raises red flags for me what are the chances of that scenario that scenario is is possibly a complete fabrication or deborah birx pretty much knew that the blood supply was tainted with HIV somehow and plus she lived through refusing a blood transfusion she lived through it she didn’t get a blood transfusion I don’t know what’s with that story but the point to take away for me is something’s really wrong so who is lying it just doesn’t give me any faith in in the people or the medical system in this article – the thing about Millennials comes up Millennials will stop this virus what a bizarre thing to say and she says Millennials are adept at communicating note who they have put the fear into the most people in their 70s boomers and Millennials this isn’t in my opinion this is not about generations and it’s not about health what it is is about the numbers those are the two largest demographics this is about getting those two largest demographics on the side of taking the vaccines accepting lock down being scared having so doing social distancing basically just doing whatever the authorities say and if the majority are doing whatever the authorities say it’s a good chance the rest of us will have to go along with it gosh I’ve already been talking along let’s go further back on deborah birx she has been involved in pet fire since 2014 she was not appointed that means under President Trump and Trump it seems wanted to get rid of her wanted to replace her if here’s an article from January 2017 from Bono’s foundation called one one applauds Trump decision to retain deborah birx as an interim global aids coordinator interim interesting and do you see who lobbied hard for Burks to stay vice president Mike Pence and Ivanka Trump they’re the ones that wanted deborah birx to stay on along with clearly Bono and here’s more from NPR July 2018 praised for the global HIV program that Trump wants to cut the Trump administration has been lobbying to cut nearly a billion dollars out of pEPFAR’s 4.5 billion a year budget they want to streamline the program and nobody like that either nobody wanted anything to change about this PEPFAR foundation or PEPFAR program here’s an article from 2018 administration’s words deeds on Africa are colliding this is where it mentions Rex Tillerson works with deborah birx and they were trying to pressure the president to keep funding PEPFAR and here’s bono again adding his voice to this whole thing the one campaign warned that the cut would lead to hundreds of thousands more people dying of AIDS each year and so Trump relented and he gave in to all this pressure he kept deborah birx he kept funding this program and now here we are here we are with the corona virus epidemic raging and this deborah birx is there even though Trump’s instinct was to get rid of her apparently and he didn’t and I think that’s a big problem pepfar an oral history from the George W Bush presidential center we learn that Mike Pence also is involved with PEPFAR so is it any wonder why he chose her to come with him and work on the corona virus pandemic another person involved with PEPFAR is Anthony Falchi Anthony foul she’s always out in front as well he is on the coronavirus task force as well he’s the little tiny man that stands behind the podium and he can only seem from here up three people from PEPFAR on this corona virus pandemic thing why is this a problem here’s Bono and Bill Gates talking about the Global Fund replenishment the Global Fund is directly underneath PEPFAR PEPFAR gives most of its money to the Global Fund and then it’s overseen by a UN Department a United Nations Department and that United Nations Department refuses to let their their disbursements and their financial activity be audited they let a few people a few select individuals are the only ones that get to look at the books of this thing and they don’t get to look at all of the books they only get to look at about a third of the transactions so you can see how this goes the Global Fund is committed to eradicating AIDS HIV tuberculosis and malaria it’s been around a long time and are those things solved in any way no but they have made certain people a lot of money a lot of money I want you to notice that one of the board members of the Global Fund is Kieran Daley from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation another board member is deborah birx somebody that loves the Global Fund along with Bono as I’ve already said is Bill Gates of course Bill Gates loves it because Bill Gates is all about vaccines so he wants the tuberculosis vaccine everywhere he wants to find a malaria vaccine and he certainly is all over the aids/hiv space and as we can see he is one of the leading voices in this coronavirus thing which is insane because he literally makes billions and billions of dollars off of disease so ask yourself this question is it more profitable for Bill Gates to cure a disease to find an effective vaccine orna is it more profitable if he just keeps going over and over oh darn it didn’t work can I have another trillion dollars to play with and over and over it works you know why it’s worked over and over in my opinion is because they’ve done it in Africa and we don’t pay very much attention to Africa and I don’t know what leadership of a firt small African countries is like but we hear that it’s very very very corrupt so it’s easy to run this scam over in Africa where the populations by in many cases are not educated and these trucks roll in and they tell them that your children will be saved from disease if you just let them stick a needle in their arm and maybe it’s very easy to get them to do that so they’ve run this program for how long since the second world war over in Africa and they just keep experimenting on them and India and different places in in you know Asia and that as well what amazes me is with this coronavirus thing they believe that the European and North American populations are ready to be treated like the African populations were treated I think they think we are I’m gonna say uneducated enough and that our leaders are corrupt enough that they can run their fake experimental dangerous vaccine programs on us like they could in Africa how sad is that I believe that’s what we’re watching with the coronavirus thing and it gets it gets a little worse I’m sorry this is not a very positive video but you need to be educated so that you can make proper decisions all right look at this this is something that’s going to go along with vaccines now too and it’s already happened in Africa ID 2020 and partners launch program to provide digital ID with vaccines their contention is that they’re going to give these vaccines and at the same time they’re gonna take a thumbprint and then they can track we can just easily know whether somebody’s been vaccinated or not always by our thumbprint because it will accompany the vaccines that’s treating us like cattle like literal livestock that’s what that is treating us like a dog but worse than that is that they’ve already started experimenting in Austin with this with the homeless treating a group of people like experimental nobodies like their pets like their livestock and worse than that is we’re very very close in fact it’s already out there if this is already developed as nanotech so that the ID for the or the tracking of the vaccine can be injected with the vaccine it’s not a two-stage process it’s a one stage process and then forever they have biometric reading technology in your body I’m not saying they’re using it yet I don’t know my suspicion is that they are though Isis I have I believe that as part of the experiments they’ve done in Africa the African villages that they go to how are those people going to defend themselves from something like that how are they even going to know that that’s happened they might not even know okay so it’s very corrupt and when we look at the partners of ID 2020 here they are X sure Microsoft Gavi I do orc and the Rockefeller Foundation all four of these are partnered already with Bill Gates we’ve got some billionaire oligarchs that I think are sociopathic dr. Frankenstein’s and they are the ones they are all mixed up in this coronavirus response what’s next here is the congressional committee report or transcript from 2011 and this is talking about fraud and abuse of global fund investments so the Global Fund which comes directly from PEPFAR and the UN oversees but does not allow anyone to audit that’s what that’s about so they already looked into it and let’s look at a few numbers as of December 2010 US investment in these programs totaled more than 32 billion dollars following the release of several critical reports some donors to the fund have suspended their contributions until miss management practices and abuses of funds can be rectified worldwide the United Nations Development Program is one of the largest administrators and overseers of Global Fund programs in recent years the United States has contributed 100 million dollars annually to the UNDP through the State Department additionally the United States has allocated between 150 million and 250 million annually to the UNDP for specific program programs so if you’re keeping track 32 billion to PEPFAR and the Global Fund but also hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to the UN program that’s supposed to be overseeing it the UNDP internal policy does not allow outside entities such as the Global Fund or World Bank to examine the UNDP s books even when the UNDP is administering and overseeing a grant the UNDP claims special immunity that allows the UNDP to restrict access to this information only a limited group of people can view the documents the Inspector General analyzed the expenditures of some 3.5 million of the nine point nine million in disbursements and found that approximately 2.7 million had been misappropriated so this 2.7 million out of 3.5 million was misappropriated the Inspector General was unable to examine the rest of the funding in question because the UNDP refused to grant the Global Fund Oh IG access to documents staff and witnesses how do you like that for your reference here is a Clinton email from WikiLeaks to Cheryl Mills regarding the PEPFAR pipeline story assume you are aware that this story is breaking today we had been going over with folks as new it might but just found out today yeah that’s when they decided to do another round of investigations into this PEPFAR pipeline for AIDS because they didn’t know where the disbursements were going or whether they had been disbursed so that’s that was in that was in 2012 the problem had not been solved by 2012 now we get to 2014 and this is the year that Burks deborah birx became the head of this organization and here it says with 150 million from PEPFAR and 50 million from the london-based philanthropic Children’s investment fund foundation Burks is volubly excited about about closing the gap in the antiretroviral access this is their word gap they say with eight we’ve identified a gap and now we’ve got to fill it we’re the only ones who know how and isn’t it they’re always finding gaps you’re gonna notice she will use the word gap and this article is about her excitement over a new partnership she got 50 million dollars from this guy and his foundation the children’s investment fund found sounds great he sounds like a nice guy totally great guy philanthropist really worried about the children only if that doesn’t really seem to be the case hedge fund boss pays himself two hundred million dollars despite his funds profit falling the billionaire hedge fund manager Sir Chris Hawn paid himself two hundred million last year slightly more than his children’s investment fund made in profit and here’s the legend all these fake philanthropists have legends of their lives hon the son of a Jamaican car mechanic who emigrated to Britain in the 1960s blah blah blah you notice how that’s always the way they always have some story that makes you think ah they they really worked hard the here’s another article about him from Bloomberg the world’s most profitable hedge fund is now a climate radical of course check the boxes I care about health I care about kids I care about the climate it’s certainly not just some big scam pyramid scheme huckster thing no it can’t be and notice that this guy Han is he’s just being a predator the hedge fund industry has no shortage of aggressive in-your-face players but fewer as tough as Chris Hahn he scuttles deals pushes to remove bosses batters companies with litigation and threats and that made him rich that made him rich you ever noticed how so many of the great corporations have disappeared well if you’re of a certain age if you’re young you wouldn’t even know that but we used to have tons of choice in all areas but guys like this snake come along and they destroy they destroy businesses so that they can get rich and then when they get rich they want to look good to the world they don’t want to look like these predatory sharks so they start foundations like this children’s investment fund and really all that is is a tax free shelter for running scams also they make me ill and I need people to wake up to this hon is bringing his hardball tactics to fight against global warming pushing portfolio companies into dramatically reducing greenhouse gas gas emissions if they don’t he says he lost their boards or dumped their shares what a nice guy just in case anyone doubts his commitment last fall han and his charity donated two hundred thousand pounds to extinction rebellion extinction rebellion so it’s kind of like a terrorist group you see let’s say that chris han was a mafia a mafia guy was al capone and he invests in something that they’re calling a clean streets and really it’s just thugs that al capone can send out to disrupt business everywhere until the mafia boss gets his way whatever that might be but it’s all done in the guise of the progressive globalist ideals he can say no i’m just interested in a clean planet and people believe them it blows my mind what’s next this is from 2016 and this is when Burks had been at the helm for two years corruption continues to hinder global funds work I won’t bother reading this but it has to do with the same old same old they stole the funds the the people they gave the money to sold the drugs instead of giving them to people they burned down warehouses where anti-malarial drugs were stored so who who is overseeing this at all deborah birx his whole job is just to get the money she doesn’t care what happens after maybe she gives it to people who can do her favors in other ways but she’s terrible terrible at choosing people who will actually help other people and yet and yet she was chosen by Mike Pence to lead this thing where you’re the American people’s tax money by the hundreds of billions is being hijacked from actually helping people to give it to corporations and small NGOs and bit players and foreigners who want to come in and loot America they just want a quick buck that’s it who knows what’ll ever happen to the money it’s a state of emergency records weren’t properly kept what do you expect so I’m shocked I am absolutely horrified that Trump is standing there beside her as she spews her garbage and runs her scam I am disgusted here’s proof that deborah birx works alongside the World Health Organization well of course these things are all linked that event to a one that I did those two videos just recently about where they planned this whole pandemic scenario out to see what their responses should be but in that scenario planning they didn’t even talk about doctor shortages and they didn’t talk about civil unrest they didn’t talk about that at all all they talked about was getting their message out so that the public would believe whatever they said that’s literally all they talked about besides positioning themselves to try and get some money that’s that’s it and deborah birx is part nerds for some reason with MasterCard PEPFAR and MasterCard team to fight AIDS in Africa what it says is and this is from 2017 it says we’ve made extraordinary progress towards achieving hiv/aids epidemic control in several high burdened African countries but key gaps remain gaps there’s the gaps again that deborah birx is gonna come in and fill Oh a gap let’s run over there and fill it with money that I can then give give away to my friends I’m the only one that can see this gap though that’s my specialty PEPFAR is thrilled to launch this pie in partnership with mastercard by leveraging their extraordinary expertise in deploying digital solutions in resource-limited settings we can improve the health and well-being of the people that PEPFAR services meaningless as part of the efforts the partnership will use technology to advance the United Nations sustainable development goals how MasterCard for its part has worked to improve the distribution and tracking of humanitarian aid addressing some of the world’s most challenging issues like what this includes digitizing health care management in settings where resources are limited and exploring new ways of using digital technology to support hiv/aids control oh like what like what like what specifically these guys never talk in specifics because if they said we implemented X program in this city and here are the people and here’s how much it cost and this is the results then we could go double-check that so all they say is we leverage goodwill and our technology and experience to fill gaps in health care worldwide thereby enabling people to be healthier and live more productive lives and then they get a stock picture of a brown person smiling in a field and we’re supposed to believe them we’re supposed to believe they’re doing anything other than hoarding money and giving it away to their corrupt friends by the way speaking of corrupt friends Clinton claims he helped Bush protect PEPFAR from Trump but this is from 2018 look at all these former presidents interested in this PEPFAR program more fraud detected and this is 2019 so this is very recent and this is also with deborah birx at the helm in this case the inspector general’s audit says that two-thirds of funds in some of the reviewed grants have disappeared into the hands of corrupt officials once again 2/3 of the funds two-thirds of who knows how many billions also the UN agency warns in its World Malaria report that there were 219 million cases of malaria in 2017 this is despite the objective set in the Millennium Development Goals to halt the spread of hiv/aids malaria tuberculosis and other major diseases by 2015 well the objective was probably never to solve these problems these problems may not be solvable and I think we’re just gonna have to deal with that as a species how far we’re gonna go because right now they’re talking about manipulating our genetic code to try and stop malaria or tuberculosis or hiv/aids in my opinion this comes from an atheistic scientists I insisted no kradic vision of the future where we won’t accept death we won’t accept weakness we won’t accept sickness and we we just simply can’t can’t not accept it to me they’re being toddlers they’re very full of fear they figure there’s nothing more to life than than being perfect like they have a vision of perfection I suppose and they try to force nature to go along with that vision it’s very anti human and it’s it’s very Antichrist it’s very anti spirit don’t you think they really believe they’re masters of the universe they do all right I’m just about to wrap up but just a few more things before I go deborah birx is also associated to the German Marshall Fund of the United States which is you know I don’t know it a lot about it but it’s it’s like reconstruction and development after the war I believe why is that even still going on why is that still a thing and Barack Obama is very much involved in some of this stuff as well through his association with Bono and Bono’s organization called red I don’t know why this attaches but I feel instinctively like it’s going to like it’s going to be part of this story so I thought you should know and last last but not least the World Health Organization the one that wants to be the only one to give out medical protocols and and messaging for all people of Earth that’s its goal it’s run by an absolute psychopath I learned some stuff today watching a short excellent video about him I knew he was bad I knew he was part of a terrorist organization in his home country before he became World Health Organization that’s true why would they choose someone like that in the first place but there’s more to be learned about this guy Ted Rose a de nom I’m going to put the link to this video in the description box it’s about 10 minutes long and I think it’s important because people when you look out and you say why is this such a mess we’ve we’ve given so much money to these experts why is nothing solved why has everything just getting worse it’s it’s honestly and I know this sounds conspiratorial it’s because the leaders of these organizations are totally criminal they’re just criminal I believe there’s tons of good people working for these organizations that want to do good and they probably always wonder why it’s not working but the heads the heads the people who have the real data and make the decisions they are running a scam and it is to suck taxpayer money and give themselves a great lifestyle and facilitate a black economy an underground economy that’s what this is about all right wrapping up we looked at the coronavirus task force’s main players which is Anthony foutch E deborah birx and Mike Pence and we find out that all three of them are involved with PEPFAR and PEPFAR we come to learn is in a circle of fraud the State Department oversees the budget that goes to PEPFAR and then PEPFAR sends tons of money to the Global Fund which is overseen by this UN Development programs organization which is opaque and does not allow itself to be audited properly yet every time someone’s done a partial audit they find massive massive graft and fraud going on with this this all ties to the World Health Organization the United Nations and the Sustainable Development Goals and right now the World Health Organization is overseen by a X and X Marxist terrorist from Ethiopia a total maniac actually all of this stuff is advertised and given a veneer of legitimacy by people like Bono and Bono got in on the action by making two of his own foundations one is called one and the other is called red Barack Obama lends his quote unquote good name to this as well and is a spokesperson for this because they’re all in on the action can’t you see it they’re all in on the billions of dollars and it doesn’t pay them to solve any of the problems at all now it’s very sad but Ivanka Trump was one of the people who argued with her father to keep deborah birx on we even have John Kerry sneaking in here he told that weird story about deborah birx screaming don’t give me that blood because somehow deborah birx knew that the blood would be tainted if she got a transfusion and turns out it was i don’t know what that is all about but it’s weird also note that Clinton and Bush both fought in the public sphere against Donald Trump when he wanted to cut funding to this thing PEPFAR they both came out of their little mole holes and they went on speaking to her about how Trump should keep this program fully funded and then over on this side we have the guy who thinks he runs the world he really thinks he’s the smartest guy in on the planet and all he is doing is is playing with Frankenstein’s science he has no ethics or he wouldn’t be injecting people with things and he wouldn’t be tracking them and he wouldn’t be using the homeless as a as a test population his ID 2020 it looks like it’s supported by five independent organizations but if you look at those organizations they’re all his and what is this all all of it has to do with what does it all have to do with viruses all of it it’s basically the global warming for the medical industrial complex that’s what this is Trump said we’re fighting an invisible enemy well how do you how do you win against an invisible enemy that these untrustable quote-unquote experts how do you how do you fight when they are in charge of all the data the invisible data on the invisible enemy and they totally control the message they control the message by flooding the zone remember this from event to a one both strategies that are available to as one of which is the flood strategies and flooding good information flood is on what a manifestation of flood blood good information flood the zone right the pandemic planning exercise that they ran in October 2019 what would happen if there was a corona virus outbreak they decided their best plan was to flood the zone with their information and that way they could scare everybody and scare the government intimidate politicians intimidate everyone into doing what they wanted and it is working it is working like a charm look I hope I know this video was long and I need to make short ones so that we can communicate with people who are new to this stuff I know but how in the world could I show the depth of this without without showing tentacles without explaining why different organizations are are something to be wary of I couldn’t I couldn’t because one little fact here one little fact there that has clearly not suffice to wake up the people who need to be woken up we are being played we are being played in such a gigantic way and right now is the worst one I’ve ever seen they are terrifying people people are truly terrified this is going to be a traumatic thing that lives with them forever it’s going to change their outlook on the future forever some of them small business owners are being decimated they will never come back people are losing their life savings people are putting their having babies on hold there’s probably going to be suicides over this and they’re taking they’re tanking our economies then they’re going to swoop in with their with their vaccines that might have chips in them they’re gonna swoop in with that they’re gonna swoop in with digital currency they’re already running a test of what would happen if everybody had to just order things online and stay in their apartments because that’s the vision they want for us they want us to be good little worker bees stay in our apartments order the few things they’ve offered us online why do you think it’s so important to them that we keep internet access through this why how does that even fit in so okay guys I’m once again I’m sorry it was so long so in in in order not to belabor this I’m gonna stop talking now I hope you’ve enjoyed the video could you please leave a comment let me know what you think leave me a thumbs up that helps the algorithm I do have a PayPal Demi account and a post-office box if you would like to send me a contribution I would greatly appreciate it thank you to everybody I’m out of breath thank you to

Next I will provide a video and raw transcript for a simple method that may also destroy the virus that employs nothing but a blow dryer and a spray bottle full of water. Does it work? I haven’t any idea. But it worth a try isn’t it? And wouldn’t the UN and Big Pharma be shocked if it did work. The thing is this is presented by a doctor and he does provide a rational for why it works.

How to Kill Coronavirus Conquering COVID-19

And here is the raw transcript.

=====
for weeks or even months at temperatures near or below freezing these viruses die within just a few minutes when exposed to higher air temperatures the reversion to heat forces coronaviruses to live and reproduce only within the coolest parts of the body usually inside the epithelial cells that line our inner nose and sinus cavities because these sinuses are located just behind the cheeks and nostrils and around the eye sockets these cavities are often nearly as cool as the outside air we breathe at least during the colder months of the year but when outside temperatures rise so do our sinus temperatures once it gets too warm in there for these viruses to reproduce they die and quickly disappear numerous laboratory studies by leading virologists show that corona virus has easily killed in less than 15 minutes at just 56 degrees Celsius or 133 degrees fahrenheit as they slowly heated the virus in the lab scientists observed the outter viral membrane begin to rupture and within minutes it fatally collapsed unrecognizable and incapable of causing any further infection mild heat application is now regularly used in the production of various medications and vaccines the very same process could be used with patients by simply raising their sinuses above the kill temperature the virus dies symptoms and infectivity stop and the outbreak is over this is remarkably easy to do without harm or risk by simply breathing in hot air suddenly the coolest part of the body becomes the warmest part of the body and any invading viruses almost literally melt but what about the patient can we survive exposure to these temperatures people are already doing this every day all over the world daytime temperatures in the world’s deserts routinely rise above 56 degrees Celsius or 133 degrees Fahrenheit and millions of people walk into saunas every day with temperatures far above this breathing deeply for just a few minutes in any of these hot locations will kill a high percentage of any coronavirus that happens to be invading the upper respiratory system and a second or third exposure about an hour apart will kill the rest no desert or sauna available no problem the common widely available handheld blow-dryer used for drying hair contains a heating element and a fan that instantly deliver forced hot air temperatures that will kill coronavirus even faster much like a convection oven does and because you can concentrate heat onto just the infected area of the body the nose and sinuses who can safely use this approach even if you already have a fever this simple cold arrest procedure was first proposed in the book conquered the common cold and flu published by future world press in 1984 since then it’s been successfully tested and used in more than 55 countries with an extremely high success rate here’s what to do step 1 turn the hairdryer to the lowest setting and then cup fingers over the air intake to slow the air flow and increase its output temperature step 2 with the other hand use a spray bottle filled with water to frequently moisten the facial surface around the nose and mouth the flow of hot air causes the water to evaporate keeping the face and nose cool while allowing heat to penetrate deeply into the nose and sinuses take slow deep breaths through the nose with the mouth closed for five minutes to minimize any discomfort turn the blow-dryer aside in between breaths so that warm air is directed toward the face and nose only while inhaling the goal is to raise the inside of the nose and sinuses to the coronavirus kill temperature of 56 degrees Celsius or 133 degrees Fahrenheit during the entire treatment period so use the highest temperature setting you can safely tolerate step 3 after pausing for one hour begin another five minutes hot air treatment if no symptoms have appeared two heating cycles per days should be sufficient for prevention however if symptoms have already developed five of these alternating heating cooling cycles per day are recommended until symptoms disappear if widely used the simple cold arrest hyperthermia therapy can help to halt any further spread of kovat 19 it also kills most other types of common cold causing virus so you can start using it at the very first sign of any common cold symptoms if health care providers will teach patients the cold arrest procedure and health authorities will distribute inexpensive blow dryers and spray bottles to those in quarantine or living with an infection zones who don’t already have them we may be able to prevent future corona virus outbreaks from ever again becoming regional or international pandemics

Finally there is an alleged connection between 5G EMF Radiation installations and the geographic areas in which the Corona virus has spread. Out of an abundance of caution all 5G antennas should be shut down to see if it stops the spread. As I explain in my essays it should be shut down anyway as it presents an existential threat of our health, privacy and freedom. Sadly Trump remains 100% behind 5G and corporate media has censored any meaningful discussion of the dangers of 5G. It will be up to each of us to use or collective activism to change that equation as soon as possible.

Here is where 5G has been rolled out.

And here is where the Coronavirus outbreaks are occurring.

There has been much discussion of how 60 GHZ millimeter waves — part of the 5G Spectrum (6 GHz to 300 GHz) — may be responsible for the people of Wuhan falling dead in the streets due to the fact this frequency interferes with oxygen absorption. I take the broader view that the general increase in EMF radiation (1G to 5G) is deleterious to human health, animal health, plant health, insect health as well as the health of our ecosystem. At some point I will address this in more depth. But I have already written two short essays discussing the relationship between the Corona-virus and 5G EMF radiation. And I think that is where I will end it for today.

=====
Here’s the thing. We now know that EMF radiation — from Extremely Low Frequencies (ELF’s) to 5G millimeter waves (including 60 GHz) can activate viruses (e.g., attenuated viruses in vaccines) and can interfere with Oxygen metabolism. Currently 4G uses 2.5 GHz and even that can have deleterious effects depending on exposure and intensity.

What we don’t know is what frequencies have been used in China, France. Italy the US etc. At least I have not found that data. And while a $200 EMF meter can measure up to 6GHz it requires a $20,000 EMF Meter to measure above the 6 GHz range. I do wonder if this cost is justified or if they just don’t want us to be able to measure our exposure above 6 GHz.

In any case we don’t need to be citing the Wuhan corona-virus as a reason to Stop5G. Since 1890 our exposure to EMF radiation has gone up literally millions of times and for years we paid no attention as it is invisible. But in the last 20-40 years plenty of studies have shown that that certain frequencies in the EMF Spectrum — from ELF to 5G — do cause human harm and that 5G will be “in addition to” current 4G exposure.
A few thoughts on the alleged link between 5G and the Coronavirus

My wife worked at Henry Ford Hospital for 43 years and just retired 07/02/2019. About 8 years ago the CSR’s, nurses etc. were given the choice to either get the seasonal flu vaccine or wear a mask. Most opted to wear a mask as they did not want the vaccination. Then about 5 years ago HFH, like most hospitals nationwide, made an ultimatum: either get the vaccine or loose your job. She had no choice and had to take the vaccine for the remaining 3 years. Today in many states and cities, “boiler plate” legislation is being adopted that force vaccines on populations while taking away religious exemptions.

As I have testified, back in July 2019 (my presentation on 5G) I mentioned that the number of childhood vaccines was doubled around 1990. Since then the rates of childhood autism has risen exponentially and I have also been dumbstruck that this was not considered a national health emergency, when I first understood the correlation (c. 1989). I’m even more dumbstruck that this issue is still being ignored and suppressed in 2020: 21 years later. I also mentioned that there could be other vectors — contributing factors — including GMO foods and increases in EMF Radiation with the growth in cell phone use.

5G implementation is far worse than 1G-4G both in terms of densification (antennas will be placed every 2-10 homes) and frequencies (some of the 5G frequencies will interfere with cellular function). It is becoming pretty clear that the Hunan Coronovirus is a engineered bio-weapon that was either purposely or accidentally released. Hunan also implemented 5G around October 2019 and also forced a vaccine on the population around the same time. I’ve been reluctant to offer my opinion on the Cononovirus as there is so much questionable information circulating. But there is scientific evidence that some of these 5G frequencies do interfere with cellular metabolism and do compromise our ability to fight off infections. There are also scientific studies that have shown that various frequencies can activate the Epstein Barr virus (1997). The more frequencies we are exposed to the more likely other dormant viruses (including those in vaccines) will be activated with the roll out of 5G.

Science is rarely settled and much has been learned about vaccines in the last 20 years. It is now better understood that the Spanish Flu — which killed over 90,000,000 (1919) was actually caused by a vaccine pushed by the Rockefeller’s and Rothschild families. It is also becoming clear that vaccines have caused harm to our younger generations that have received twice as many vaccines as we did growing up. Even more concerning are the new generations of “vaccines” (RNA and DNA based) that are capable of altering our very genome. If that does not concern you, you need to do some research. Man was never intended to alter the tree of life and we certainly haven’t the wisdom to understand the ramifications of changing our very DNA through this new class of vaccines.

The Movie “Vaxxed II” is coming out and it is worth a viewing. The first Movie “Vaxxed,” was heavily censored and is but one small example of how free speech is being suppressed in the United States and around the world.

We are moving into a strange “New Age” of “No Choice, No Voice.” Our representatives, the media, our government no longer has open discussions with the citizen’s they are supposed to represent. That is why I felt I had to interrupt the “Ecorse Flooding” meeting the other night. For over 8 months I had requested that Debbie Dingell respond to my concerns about 5G radiation. For 8 months she just ignored me and may have been responsible for censoring me on the Facebook platform. Debbie is a 5G proponent and is an active member of the House “5G Caucus.” And this was the only public forum where I could at least symbolically confront her. Again. Sorry, not sorry.

So here we are in 2020. Our freedom of speech is being stripped away. Our right to choose is being stripped away. Our right to own a gun is being stripped away. More generally our Bill of Rights is being ripped to shreds. This sends alarm bells off in my head. Because, from my study of human history, whenever human rights are being diminished — totalitarian measures and programs lie right around the next corner. Think Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao. Think about the hundred of millions that have been slaughtered, throughout the last hundred years, when freedom is squelched and totalitarianism raises its ugly head.

I’m just suggesting to everyone — whether you have a seat in government or are just a hard working citizen — that we have to start fighting back against 5G and this emerging “New Age” of “No Choice, No Voice.” Our nemesis — composed of the UN, Global Corporations, Co-opted Governments etc. — is certainly very powerful. But even they are no match for a united popular resistance by the people of planet Earth. It has to start somewhere. It has to start with each of us standing up and doing something.

The hour glass is quickly emptying. There is not a whole lot of time left to rise up.
