U.S. Government ‘Cartel’ Paid CVS, Walgreens Billions to Reject Ivermectin Prescriptions, Push COVID Shots

Dr. James Thorp and attorney Maggie Thorp on Monday published an article in America Out Loud News exposing the U.S. government’s scheme to suppress ivermectin and push COVID-19 shots using some of the nearly $200 billion in “provider relief funds” allocated to hospitals and pharmacies during the pandemic.

“cartel” led by the U.S. government allegedly bribed large pharmacy chains like Walgreens and CVS with billions of dollars in contracts to promote COVID-19 vaccines and not fill prescriptions for ivermectin.

Dr. James Thorp and attorney Maggie Thorp on Monday published an article in America Out Loud News exposing the government’s scheme to suppress the Nobel prize-winning drug using some of the nearly $200 billion in “provider relief funds” allocated to hospitals and pharmacies during the pandemic.

The article highlights the controversy surrounding ivermectin, a drug that was “baselessly maligned” by the government, media and medical establishment despite its demonstrated efficacy against COVID-19.

The authors noted former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo’s recent disclosure that he was taking ivermectin for long COVID — or for his COVID-19 vaccine injury, which he implied but didn’t confirm.

Cuomo admitted, “We were given bad information about ivermectin,” and asked, “The real question is, why?”

While Cuomo fell short of taking responsibility for his role in quashing the drug and shaming vaccine refusers, his reversal on ivermectin sparked a new round of debate about the broad conspiracy to suppress effective and inexpensive therapeutics during the pandemic.

The Thorps’ exposé comes as Steve Kirsch shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) today that California healthcare facilities and other organizations received a total of $9.2 billion from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Provider Relief Fund to “push the jabs on everyone.”

Pharmacies ‘brazen in their refusal to fill ivermectin prescriptions’

In their article, the Thorps quoted Dr. Pierre Kory’s book, “The War on Ivermectin: The Medicine that Saved Millions and Could Have Ended the Pandemic,” describing the suppression of therapeutics occurring at the height of the pandemic.

“In the wake of the global horse-dewormer propaganda campaign, hospitals started pulling ivermectin from their pharmacies,” Kory wrote.

Kory, a pulmonologist and co-founder and president emeritus of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, described hospital health systems threatening to fire employees if they prescribed the drug and pharmacies becoming “even more brazen in their refusal to fill ivermectin prescriptions.”

Some of these same pharmacies claim they are still prohibited from filling ivermectin prescriptions as a COVID-19 treatment, according to the Thorps.

According to Kory, the results of over 100 trials show that ivermectin could have effectively treated the virus and saved countless lives.

Paying pharmacies not to fill ivermectin prescriptions was only one element of a multi-prong strategy that included threats against doctors, ranging from shaming to loss of hospital access.

The Thorps cited the case of Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, who had her hospital privileges suspended for speaking out about her success treating patients with ivermectin.

Despite the suppression of ivermectin, credible sources reported U.S. Congress members in 2021 were taking the drug for COVID-19.

‘Trusted’ sources chose ‘profit over people’

CVS and Walgreens are the two largest pharmacies in the U.S., with nearly 18,000 locations between them.

One contract from 2022 shows CVS potentially receiving over $2.1 billion for a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) program called ICATT, or “Increasing Community Access to Testing for COVID-19,” that funded more than 19,000 testing sites targeting the uninsured and underinsured.

Walgreens, another recipient of provider relief funds, in 2022 ran a “public relations propaganda piece” featuring a trusted “Walgreens healthcare supervisor” expressing his “big relief” at finally being able to give his 3-year-old daughter a COVID-19 shot.

The Thorps also cited examples of these pharmacies running propaganda pieces featuring high-profile figures — like then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci and then-director of the CDC Dr. Rochelle Walensky — receiving their COVID-19 boosters at Walgreens and CVS locations.

The Thorps suggested that if the public became aware of ivermectin’s potential effectiveness against COVID-19, the market for the government’s mRNA vaccines might have collapsed, jeopardizing the prospective profits of the “medical-industrial complex.”

“Why in the world would any supplier want to promote or prescribe a cheap and readily available drug — like Ivermectin — if doing so would throw a wrench into potential billion-dollar cash-cow contracts with the federal government?” they asked.

“The U.S. government targeted and paid off ‘trusted’ sources to purposefully spoon-feed bad and even dangerous information to everyday Americans,” they wrote. “These ‘trusted’ sources chose profits over people.”

Investigation ‘likely to be far darker’ than most could imagine

As more information comes to light about the potential efficacy of ivermectin and the alleged financial incentives that may have influenced the actions of major pharmacies, the Thorps called for accountability and further investigation.

However, they cautioned against half-hearted efforts to take responsibility, citing The New York Times’ recent article about COVID-19 vaccine injuries as an attempt to “admit mistakes were made and play dumb while trying to frame the human carnage as limited.”

However, they warned that what an investigation would uncover is “likely to be far darker and run far deeper than most Americans want to imagine.”

Corrupt Politics — Not Science — Behind EPA Regulations, Says Former EPA Scientist

E. G. Vallianatos, author of “Poison Spring: The Secret History of Pollution and the EPA,” faced hostility and attempts to fire him during his 25-year career at the EPA for exposing the dangers of pesticides. He says “Little has changed inside the EPA” in the 10 years since he penned his book.

When I started my job in the Office of Pesticide Programs at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1979, many things quickly surprised and disappointed me — a pattern that persisted through my 25-year career there.

The first thing that astonished me was the scandal that came to light with the giant Industrial Bio-Test Laboratories (IBT). People would whisper in the corridors about fake lab studies. They would wonder aloud about the safety of our food.

IBT was the country’s largest testing lab for drugs and pesticides, conducting toxicology studies for companies such as Monsanto until investigators discovered widespread fraudulent manipulation of test data.

The U.S. Department of Justice successfully prosecuted multiple IBT officials for fraud and has caught others who similarly engaged in fraud to ensure approvals for risky products.

I learned the IBT story from Adrian Gross, a colleague in the EPA Office of Pesticide Programs. (Gross died in 1992.) We spent hours talking about the science and political corruption that often accompany the regulation of pesticides.

Gross would speak of “cut-and-paste” science, in which studies the EPA relied on included passages simply copied from materials developed by the companies seeking approval to sell their risky products.

Over the time I worked at the EPA, I became convinced that the agency was serving the industry much more than the public. My attempts to discuss concerns with supervisors made no difference, save for intensifying hostility toward me.

A ‘poison spring’

The victims of the compromised regulation are the farmers who become addicted to using pesticides that come with risks to their health. I discuss that madness in the 2014 book I wrote on the EPA, “Poison Spring: The Secret History of Pollution and the EPA.”

Cancer from pesticides has been the greatest nemesis of industrialized farmers. In August 1980, researchers from the University of Iowa School of Medicine and the Medical University of South Carolina reported to the EPA that they had observed in a study of Iowa farmers “a greater frequency among white male farmers” of cancers of the stomach, prostate, bone and connective tissue, leukemia, lymph tissue and multiple myeloma (bone marrow).

Iowa farmers compared to non-farmers came down with stomach cancer at a rate of 75% more; prostate at 76% more; bone and connective tissue at 77% more; leukemia at 42% more; lymph tissue at 42% more and multiple myeloma at a rate of 108% more.

In general, Iowa farmers, and by extension, all farmers using pesticides are dying from cancer at twice the rate affecting the rest of the population.

These deadly trends continue. In its Iowa Report, 2024, the Iowa Cancer Registry says that the cancer rate in Iowa is the “second highest and fastest rising” in the country.

The more bushels of corn and soybeans the farmers of Iowa produce, the more cancer they harvest. The more bushels of corn and wheat and soybeans and fruit the farmers of America harvest, the faster they go to their graves.

That is all a secret between them and the professors at the land grant universities, who know about this national and international tragedy but keep tight lips and say nothing.

Add animal farms to the growing of crops addicted to pesticides and you have a toxic kingdom ruling the countryside of America. There are thousands of animal farms feeding and slaughtering about 9 billion hogs, cattle, chicken and other animals per year.

These animal factories are unregulated. They enclose animals like sardines in a can. They are houses of filth, violence, national pollution and disease.

The unfathomable amount of manure and pollution of animal farms gives rise to viruses that can explode into pandemics. Indeed, in a new book, I am arguing that the potential origins of the 2020-2022 pandemic may be in the factories of animals all over America.

Paying a price

I paid a price for serving the public good. Senior officials often made my life miserable. They told me I was not a team player. They were right. I did not hide the truth, that is, the scientific evidence that spraying our crops with neurotoxins and carcinogens was dangerous.

It should never happen. But senior officials tried to fire me because I published an article in the Chicago Tribune on Oct. 10, 1989, in which I criticized the fossil fuel industry for causing global warming.

It’s been 10 years since my book came out, and from all appearances, little has changed inside the EPA. We need an EPA to work for us. But to reach that milestone, Americans must create change by valuing their health and asking where the food they eat comes from.

My advice is to eat only the organic food of small family farmers or grow your own fruits and vegetables. Take the political steps to fight the planetary life and death threat from anthropogenic climate chaos.

Don’t elect politicians funded by the industry who support pesticides or say climate change is a hoax. Decide to support organic farming. Put the health of nature next to your health.

Children Whose Mothers Were Exposed During Pregnancy to Fluoridated Tap Water at Higher Risk of Neurobehavioral Problems

Dr. Howard Hu, co-author of a study published today in JAMA Network Open, said the study’s findings are concerning because the women were not exposed to particularly high levels of fluoride.

Children born to women exposed during pregnancy to fluoridated drinking water were more likely to have neurobehavioural problems, according to a study published today in JAMA Network Open.

In the first U.S.-based cohort study to examine this link, researchers from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California (USC), the University of Florida and Indiana University followed 229 mother-child pairs from pregnancy until the children were 3 years old.

They found that a 0.68 milligram per liter (mg/L) increase in fluoride exposure during pregnancy was associated with nearly double the chance of a child, by age 3, exhibiting neurobehavioral problems at or near a level that meets the criteria for a clinical diagnosis.

Dr. Howard Hu, Flora L. Thornton Chair and Professor of Population and Public Health Sciences at USC and co-author of the study told The Defender the study’s findings are concerning because the women were not exposed to particularly high fluoride levels.

Their fluoride exposure came primarily from fluoridated tap water in Los Angeles, which has water fluoridation at 0.7 mg/L — typical for fluoridation levels in most U.S. cities and towns and approximately the same level found to have effects in the study.

“When you add this to all the other studies that have been done on this subject in the last few years,” Hu said, “it creates a body of evidence, which — in conjunction with the basic science looking at how fluoride may be toxicologically active on the brain — suggests that the impact of fluoride on neurobehavioral development problems is causal. It’s not just an epidemiological association.”

The authors concluded that it may be necessary to “establish recommendations for limiting exposure to fluoride from all sources during the prenatal period, a time when the developing brain is known to be especially vulnerable to injury from environmental insults.”

Recent debates on U.S. water fluoridation

Recent debates on U.S. water fluoridation

Following the advice of public health agencies, most U.S. towns and cities have been adding fluoride to their water systems since 1945. Today’s recommended target rate is 0.7 mg/L.

Community water fluoridation practices have long been celebrated as one of the “great public health achievements” of the 20th century. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defends the practices as key to public health.

However, a growing body of research establishing that fluoride negatively affects neurodevelopment has led scientists and the public to question water fluoridation over the last several years.

In 2006, after concluding in a multiyear study that fluoride could interfere with brain function, the National Research Council (NRC) called for more research.

Since then major cohort studies in Mexico and Canada have linked fluoride exposure to lower IQ scores and other neurodevelopmental issues in children.

Cohort studies, in which researchers collect epidemiological data during pregnancy and then from children over their lifetimes to study a variety of health outcomes tied to environmental exposures, are the gold standard of epidemiological studies.

Last year, after years of research, peer review, and attempts by public officials at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to block publication, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) — the interagency government program that studies environmental toxins — published a draft systematic review of the literature on fluoride and neurotoxicity in children.

The NTP report found that neonatal and childhood fluoride exposure had negative cognitive and neurodevelopmental effects for children. That report concluded that fluoride had neurotoxic effects for children at 1.5 mg/L.

The NTP also identified high-quality studies linking fluoride to lower IQ at lower levels and called for more research in this area.

Hu said the JAMA study bolsters the NTP’s findings.

Debates over water fluoridation and the NTP’s findings have focused on the level at which that exposure becomes a concern.

In an ongoing landmark trial, several environmental and consumer watchdog groups are suing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), arguing that water fluoridation at existing levels threatens human health and that water fluoridation ought to be ended or much more strictly regulated.

Despite the recent studies and the NTP’s findings, the EPA maintained in court that there is insufficient evidence that fluoride poses a neurodevelopmental risk to children to warrant changing or ending current water fluoridation policy recommendations.

The fluoride lobby and many officials in public health agencies defend the EPA’s opinion. However, the surgeon general’s office notably stopped issuing public statements supporting water fluoridation after the NTP published its report.

Michael Connett, the attorney representing the plaintiffs in the case against the EPA, told The Defender the JAMA study is a “huge SOS signal on fluoride” for the U.S.

“The question in our court case was whether adding fluoridation chemicals to drinking water presents an unreasonable risk of neurodevelopmental harm,” he said. “This study provides the most direct evidence to date that it does.”

Connett said the JAMA study “provides further corroboration that early life exposure to fluoride can adversely affect brain development, and suggests millions of people in the U.S. are unknowingly suffering the consequences.”

Risk analysis scientist Kathleen Thiessen, Ph.D., who was not involved with the study but co-authored the 2006 NRC study on fluoride toxicity, told The Defender the new study is “extremely important,” because it shows “increased likelihood of neurobehavioral problems with increased maternal fluoride exposure, for a cohort of children in the United States with relatively low maternal fluoride exposures.”

It adds to the large and growing body of data on fluoride’s neurotoxicity and supports arguments to limit exposure of the U.S. population to the chemical, Thiessen said.

Why does anybody still think water fluoridation is a good idea?

The JAMA study analyzed data from the Maternal and Developmental Risks from Environmental and Social Stressors (MADRES) pregnancy cohort study, which consisted of predominantly low-income Latina women in Los Angeles.

The EPA, the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences funded the study.

Between 2017 and 2020, 229 mothers took a test to measure the fluoride concentration in their urine during the third trimester of pregnancy. Maternal urinary fluoride levels are considered a good measure of fluoride exposure for both mother and baby because fluoride passes through the placental barrier.

The median maternal urinary level in the study was 0.76 mg/L.

Between 2020 and 2023, the mothers completed a 99-question survey, the Preschool Child Behavior Checklist, to assess their child’s behavior at age 3. The test measures children’s “internalizing” or inwardly focused problems, like emotional reactivity and anxiety, and “externalizing” or outwardly focused problems like hyperactivity and aggression. It also provides a measure of overall total behavioral problems.

The survey asks questions about general behaviors such as restlessness, difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity, or being clingy or accident-prone. It also asks about specific behaviors, like being overly concerned with neatness, exhibiting cruelty to animals, or chewing on things that aren’t edible. It asks whether children have health problems with no clear medical cause, like rashes, cramps and headaches.

The researchers statistically controlled for other social, cultural and economic issues, such as maternal age, education, health factors, household income, ethnicity and structural racism, that could affect behavioral outcomes, and for lead exposure.

They found that a 0.68 mg/L increase in maternal urinary fluoride levels was associated with nearly double the odds of having a total problems score that came close to or met the criteria for a clinical diagnosis. It showed a statistically significant increase in internalizing problem and total problem scores.

The increase in maternal urinary fluoride was also associated with higher externalizing problems scores — showing behaviors like aggression in the classroom or with other children — but the results were not statistically significant.

When the researchers examined the association of maternal urinary fluoride with the raw scores for different syndromes assessed by test, they found a 13.54% increase in emotional reactivity, a 19.6% increase in somatic issues, an 11.29% increase in anxiety problems and an 18.53% increase in problems on the autism spectrum.

Thiessen said it is important that this study was published in JAMA, which is considered a top medical journal.

Earlier work on fluoride published in JAMA in 2019 found that higher levels of fluoride exposure during pregnancy led to reduced IQ in children by ages 3 and 4. That paper received much more detailed scrutiny by reviewers than is usual for JAMA papers, plus an editorial explaining why the journal chose to publish the article, she said.

“Given the potentially controversial nature of the new paper, it is likely that it also received extra scrutiny. The fact that JAMA published the 2019 article and the recent article indicates that the editors and reviewers consider each of the articles to be of very high quality and importance.”

Thiessen added:

“Actually, given the quality and size of the current body of evidence on fluoride neurotoxicity, as well as other adverse health effects, the question is not whether Malin et al.’s paper [today’s study] should be considered controversial, but why anybody still thinks community water fluoridation is a good idea!”

End of the Western Democracy and liberalism

There is a Hidden Malevolent Force that wants the Earth Back! And They Will Stop at Nothing!

Evil is born in the world. Halation out of our death and joy. Click here for the video link with explanation.

Clearly, the globalists took into account “the aspirations of peoples all over the globe… to emerge rapidly and conclusively from the era of colonialism” in their planning of the NWO. It is for this reason that the BRICS alliance was formed and the NWO was designed in a multipolar fashion. They want the oppressed peoples of the world to join together and see themselves beating the West. And they want them to believe that the Illuminati’s multipolar New World Order represents their final victory over oppression and ascension to equality, when it is actually just the beginning of a new phase of subjugation and their fall into equality as global serfs.

…(from page 161) They conveniently fail to mention that there are many other options besides resorting to either of those two extremes.

Kissinger and Co. also make the assertion that building the NWO is the “grand objective” of America’s foreign policy…

…(from page 26) and that the effectiveness of US policy will be judged by how well America fosters the globalist institutions…

…(from page 27) Also note how the passage assigns the US to the Western Sphere. The planners had another nation in mind to lead the Eastern Sphere (China).

The book then goes on to offer specific ways America can sacrifice its national interests to build the global government.

The Deindustrialization of America

On page 173, we see the genesis of the economic policies that have brought the American economy to ruin…

…as the globalists make the case for unilaterally removing the trade barriers that protected America’s economy from competition with foreign slave labor.This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Peanut_Butter,_The_Binges.jpg

Kissinger and Co. also make the case that we shouldn’t economically defend ourselves since it might create “impediments… to the progress of others”…

…(from page 75)

And to give Americans a taste of what’s coming, page 75 also drops this little hint…

…As it turns out, America did indeed lay itself down as a bridge to pull China into the NWO. We did it by luring them in with a great deal of our national wealth through lopsided trade and outsourcing.

And this brings us to the subject of the BRICS…

The BRICS Role In Erecting The New World Order

Prospect goes on to address the status of those nations that were “freed” by the engineered collapse of the Old World Order…

…(from page 164)

If we remove the spin from this passage, it tells us that the new nation-states’ drive to achieve true independence must be “balanced by converging forces.” And what form did these “converging forces” take? The globalists employed hot & cold wars and insurgencies, trade conflicts, and “economic hit men” to make life unbearable for any nation-state attempting to be independent. All this strife forced such nations to reach out to international institutions for “help” (which came in the form of military occupation or debt bondage).

Only in the arms of the globalist institutions would such nations find any peace…

…(from page 61)

When Prospect spoke on page 60 of what animates such peoples…

…it brought to mind something I wrote in an old article titled David Wilcock and the Real NWO, Part 2 of 2

>>>Why China? Why would the Illuminati, whose home base is in Western Europe, have the Chinese front the public face of their New World Order?

A clue to their motivations and strategy can be found in this article, titled “Colonial Elite Rules China for the Illuminati.” In it, the author states…

“The Chinese people would revolt against overt foreign domination, but embrace their place in the NWO if they believed they were in control.”

The Chinese have suffered greatly at the hands of Western imperialism, as has much of the world. As a result, the Illuminati would have trouble roping many nations into a Western-led New World Order, especially the nationalistic Chinese. Since you can’t have a truly global order without the most populous nation on Earth, the Illuminati opted to use their own legacy of destruction to their advantage. Their two-part strategy to do so is as follows:

1 – They set up a China-centred alliance as an opposing force to the Western alliance. This part of the strategy was hinted at in the mainstream press in this 2002 UPI article, titled “China Wants Its Own ‘New World Order’ To Oppose US Version.” It is common practice for the Cabal to use opposing forces to achieve their ends, and they always make sure they have influence or control over both sides.

2 – They have been driving the world public into the hands of the Chinese alliance. How have they approached this, you ask?

> They have widely publicized a heinous New World Order planned by the Western Powers…

…while simultaneously publicizing a benign New World Order planned by China and its allies…

…thus establishing danger from one side and safety from another.

They have instigated outrageous and provocative action, both economic and military, by the Western powers (this adds a new insight into the open-for-all-to-see Wall Street / City of London criminality and recent Western military boondoggles in Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, and Syria).

> They have broadly exposed damaging information about Western nations, especially the US. This is the motivation behind WikiLeaks, Snowden, and a thousand smaller disclosures. And after Snowden outed the NSA’s activities to the general public, where did he run to hide? First to China (Hong Kong), then to Russia. So what is the psychological message? China and Russia (the BRICS alliance) are where you run for safety from the evil US, its Western allies, and all their horrible behaviour.

It is really very simple: the Illuminati built a rabbit trap (in the BRICS alliance) that looks like a nice, safe hole to hide from danger. Now they are beating the bushes (with the Western powers) to drive the rabbits toward the trap.<<<

Clearly, the globalists took into account “the aspirations of peoples all over the globe… to emerge rapidly and conclusively from the era of colonialism” in their planning of the NWO. It is for this reason that the BRICS alliance was formed and the NWO was designed in a multipolar fashion. They want the oppressed peoples of the world to join together and see themselves beating the West. And they want them to believe that the Illuminati’s multipolar New World Order represents their final victory over oppression and ascension to equality, when it is actually just the beginning of a new phase of subjugation and their fall into equality as global serfs.

With the Rockefeller plan for the BRICS New World Order laid out before us, let’s take a look at how it was implemented.

China: Building up the False Saviour

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is 399px-Hand_Puppet.jpg

Major moves towards building the New World Order outlined in Prospect for America began in the late sixties…

1969 – The International Monetary Fund (IMF) introduces the Special Drawing Right, the planned replacement for the US dollar as the global reserve currency

Money from thin air

July 1971 – former Special Studies Project director Henry Kissinger held secret meetings in China to lay the groundwork for their introduction onto the global stage. Here he is with Chinese Premier Chou En-Lai (a.k.a. Zhou Enlai) during the visit…

August 1971 – President Richard Nixon takes America off of the gold standard…

…This was the first major explosion in the dollar’s demolition as the global reserve currency (to make way for its replacement by the globalists’ SDR sometime around 2018).

February 1972 – Nixon visits (and “opens”) China. Here he is with Chairman Mao…

June 1973 – David Rockefeller Sr. visits China to start working out implementation details for what is to come. Meeting with Premier Chou En-Lai…

So what was set in motion by these events? By 1978, Deng Xiaoping took power and “developed ‘Socialism with Chinese characteristics’ and Chinese economic reform, also known as the ‘socialist market economy,’ and opened China to the global market.” An interesting view on the hidden dynamics behind this development is offered in the above-linked “Colonial Elite Rules China for the Illuminati” article…

“Wang Hao, a historian at the China Institute of International Studies, has recorded that Mao’s deputy Zhou Enlai met David Rockefeller in June 1973:

‘When meeting David Rockefeller, Zhou said to him that it was necessary to find appropriate methods conducive to the development of the trade between two sides under different political systems.’

The corporate-communist merger began when Deng Xiaoping came to power in the late 1970s and introduced his market reforms with the slogan ‘to get rich is glorious.’

However, after 30 years of Maoism his regime was hopelessly ill equipped to run a market economy. They turned to the wealthiest Chinese tycoons in Hong Kong for guidance.

The most powerful HK tycoon is Li Ka-Shing, the richest Asian in the world and an Illuminati insider.”

(For Fritz Springmeier’s writeup on the Illuminati Li family, click here.)

This helped put in place a Chinese elite that “is a merger between the Communist leadership, Hong Kong tycoons, and the criminal Triads. All three factions derive their power from Illuminati collaboration.”

Needless to say, globalist coordination with China…

…and their BRICS partner Russia…

…has continued unabated to this day.

In closing, I’d simply say that any global solution offered to us in the coming years is, in fact, a globalist solution. If you do not get together with your neighbors to start exercising self-sufficiency and control over your life, you will fall into globalist dependency and control by default. And if you do not get together with those in your local community to devise a currency (or other method of trade/barter) of your own, you will end up using bankster currency by default. Power that is not taken into your own hands is left to the predators who grasp for it.

[Update 1 – 11 November 2014]

In response to this comment from a suspected webtroll…

“How do you know that Putin isn’t telling Kissinger, ‘Buddy, your days are numbered.’”

…I looked up an old New York Times article I ran across a while ago…

So while the front page news has blaring headlines about the supposed conflict between West and East, you’ll find the truth a little deeper in the paper: that all these political types work for the same bosses and are actually buddies behind the scenes. Don’t be distracted by the public puppet theatre/drama.

Love always…

All the hydrocarbons ever burned, all coal, all the nuclear fuel rods ever expended in all the nuclear power plants, added in fact not a single permanent watt to the power line.

Instead, all that expense, effort, and pollution and destruction of the biosphere was and is necessary in order to keep adding internal energy. Thus all the systems our scientists and engineers were told to design and build, require that we continually input more energy to restore the dipole, than the circuit dissipates in the load and keep it so. It is only the fast introduction of these free energy devices can save us now and will add permanent energy to the grid without the usual pollution. Please visit:
