I am not sure at all that people have grasped the whole picture of what we're going through !!
The reaction must not be to bring us to the pre-Covid world because it is precisely the pre-Covid world that brought us were we are.
The Powers That Be are working against the clock to get us down. I really don't know what their motives are except pure hatred coming from an inconceivable lust to do harm.
The time factor plays
in favor of tyranny, not humanity. I took the example recently of the army having the power to wage war with unmanned devices. We have seen what the medical research is able to do against mankind on a planetary level and what they are up to.
The opportunity to stand against the PTB is probably the first and the last we have. Unless all the actors of the Covid tragedy are brought behind bars, the next round of hostilities might be the last. We need not to win a battle but the war !
Man's health worldwide is but a tiny fraction of what it was a mere hundred years ago*. Technology enhanced lives have made us decline speedily.
China has become a never seen before huge concentration camp of which Hitler would have not dreamed of. China is building a Southern Great Wall. China has become the most advanced nation in many scientific fields including the scariest: growing humans artificially. The Terracotta army of which I posted recently many pictures may soon become a reality.
You will see by yourself in the Mercola's articles below what it is about.
It is not a question of 'fucking Trudeau', replace Biden of fire Fauci but raising a tribunal that will set straight what was the offence extensively and take the measures needed to get rid of all the parties involved in the crime.
Governments, governments agencies, pharma and media corporations, education and health ministries, banks an international institutions like the Bank for International Settlements must be put on the dock. Although every move is useful against the evildoers, even that of individuals, the really important one is that of Reiner Fuellmich in trying to set up a tribunal for crimes against humanity.
But, do you believe that can happen ? And if it did, what to do with China ?? Going to war ??? Who would ... Not Putin neither Biden. Game over my friends ...
I have read somewhere that Orwell said: "I don't see how a scientific dictatorship could be defeated ever".
Well, this is it, I'm afraid.

As COVID crumbles
they’re already prepping the next “pandemic”
The coronavirus may go
but, from cancer to AIDS, the mRNA vaccines are here to stay
How COVID Patients
Were Over-Treated to Death
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
February 16, 2022
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Around the U.S.,
COVID-19 patients are being killed by inappropriate medical protocols, and they
have no say-so in the treatment they receive. They’ve literally been stripped
of their patient rights
COVID patients are
refused basic drugs like antibiotics and steroids. They’re even denied basic
nutrition and fluids, which amounts to a war crime. Instead, COVID patients are
over-treated with Remdesivir, narcotics and mechanical ventilation, a
combination that more often than not results in death
Hospitals are paid by
the government for COVID tests, COVID diagnoses, admission of COVID patients,
use of Remdesivir and ventilation, and COVID deaths. This payment scheme has
created a kind of institutionalized killing machine, where hospital revenue is
tied to patients dying in-hospital with a COVID label, be it true or false
The Canadian press
reports that COVID-19 patients are often given excessive doses of medications
such as opioids, benzodiazepines and anticholinergics that could result in a
lethal overdose, and in the U.K., senior care homes have been accused of
killing off COVID patients with midazolam, a powerful sedative
Collectively, patient
neglect, mistreatment, overtreatment and the COVID jabs have resulted in
massive disability and death. Deaths among working age Americans (18 to 64) as
of the third quarter of 2021 were 40% higher than pre-pandemic rates. Compare
that to the 15.4% increase seen between 2019 and 2020, which was reported as
the highest life insurance pay-out increase in 100 years
Something truly
unthinkable is happening in America's hospitals. Around the country, COVID-19
patients are being killed by inappropriate medical protocols, and they have no
say-so in the treatment they receive. They've literally been stripped of their
patient rights.
They're refused basic
drugs like antibiotics and steroids. They're even denied basic nutrition and
fluids, which amounts to a war crime under Rules 531 and 1182 of the Geneva
Convention, which state you may
not starve a person and you must provide basic necessities even to prisoners.
Instead, COVID
patients are over-treated with dangerous and ineffective therapies like
Remdesivir, narcotics and mechanical ventilation, a combination that more often
than not results in death. Many doctors who understand the importance of early
and appropriate treatment are perplexed and horrified by what they're seeing,
and for good reason. It's truly beyond comprehension at this point.
A Case of Medical
Kidnapping for COVID Bounty ?
Perhaps the most
shocking example I've come across is the case of a perfectly healthy man
involved in a car accident. In a talk with Stew Peters on Rumble, Benjamin Gord
claims to have been given an unknown knock-out drug by the attending EMT and
woke up on life support in a COVID ward.
He pulled out the vent
all by himself, as he was unharmed from the accident. When he demanded to know
why he'd been placed on mechanical ventilation, the shocked staff told him he
was being treated for COVID.
In other cases,
patients have been put on COVID standard care even though they came in for
something else. Patients are also being denied release and are basically held
as prisoners in the hospital. Many are refused the right to deny treatment.
On the other hand,
they're forced to accept do-not-resuscitate orders that they don't want. There
are also reports of COVID patients being given potent central nervous system
respiratory depressants otherwise known as "euthanasia cocktails" —
combinations of sedatives like morphine, fentanyl and midazolam.
The medical kidnapping
and mistreatment of patients against their will has become so widespread, human
rights attorney Thomas Renz asked the Truth for Health Foundation to set up a
medical advisory team, called the COVID Care Strategy Team, to help families
physically liberate their loved ones from hospitals where they're kept captive.
Incentivizing the
Killing of Patients
While one can
speculate about the ethics of hospital administrators and doctors all day long,
one of the most obvious answers to how this could have happened is that
hospitals are receiving massive incentives to over-treat COVID patients to
death. In the simplest terms, every patient has what amounts to a $100,000+
bounty on their head. Hospitals receive bonus payments for:
•COVID testing and
COVID diagnoses — Hospitals receive a 20% "bonus" on top of the
standard cost for the treatment of a COVID patient
•Admission of a
"COVID patient"
•Use of Remdesivir —
The U.S. government actually pays hospitals an additional bonus when they use Remdesivir,
and that's in addition to the 20% upcharge. Remdesivir was developed as an
antiviral drug and tested during the Ebola breakout in 2014. Results were
beyond disappointing. In the early months of 2020, the drug was entered into
COVID trials.
Those trials were also
beyond disappointing. Not only was the drug ineffective against the infection
but it also had significant and life-threatening side effects, including kidney
failure and liver damage. Despite its clear dangers and lack of effectiveness,
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized Remdesivir for emergency use
against COVID in May 2020, and then gave it full approval in October 2020.
•Use of mechanical
ventilation, which CMS whistle blowers claim kill 84.9% of COVID patients
within as few as 96 hours, typically due to barotrauma (trauma to the lungs
from the elevated pressure).
•COVID deaths — In
August 2020, former director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, Robert Redfield, agreed hospitals had a financial incentive to
overcount COVID deaths.
According to Renz,
hospitals are raking in a minimum of $100,000 extra for each and every
"COVID patient" when they follow the directive to only treat with Remdesivir
and ventilation. On the other hand, hospitals that refuse to follow this deadly
protocol and use things like Ivermectin, antibiotics and steroids forfeit all
government payments.
Still, financial
incentives dictating drug treatment don't explain why some hospitals are now
withholding basic nutrition and fluids, quite literally torturing — starving —
the patients to death. Such cases make it clear that death simply must be the
desired outcome. Why else would you withhold food and water ?
Initially, these COVID
incentives were justified as a way to make sure hospitals would not be
financially destroyed by the pandemic as they were losing revenue from routine
care and elective surgeries they could no longer provide.
Now, however, it seems
this payment scheme has created a kind of institutionalized killing machine,
where hospital revenue is tied to patients dying in-hospital with a COVID
label, be it true or false.
Excessive Drugging of
COVID Patients
Other countries are
reporting similar trends. The Canadian press reports that COVID-19 patients are
often given excessive doses of medications such as opioids, benzodiazepines and
anticholinergics that could result in a lethal overdose.
In the U.K., senior care
homes have been accused of killing off COVID patients with midazolam, a
powerful sedative. In April 2020, 38,352 out-of-hospital prescriptions for
midazolam were issued, while the monthly average for the five years before was
only 15,000, which is explained in detail in the above video.
"Midazolam
depresses respiration and it hastens death. It changes end-of-life care into
euthanasia," retired neurologist Dr. Patrick Pullicino told MailOnline.
And speaking of
euthanasia, at the end of 2021, the government of New Zealand OK'd
"voluntary euthanasia" by lethal injection for COVID patients if the
doctor believes the COVID patient won't recover. The doctor performing the
euthanasia gets paid $1,087 by the government for this service.
Deadly Prevention
Everywhere you look,
the focus seems to be on maximizing the death toll, not saving lives. That
includes the COVID jabs, which are touted as the only way to prevent serious
infection and death. Yet data from the U.S. Department of Defense suggest the
jabs are causing unprecedented injuries and deaths. The Defense Medical
Epidemiology Database (DMED) data were obtained by Renz from DOD whistle-blowers,
and was released on the Renz Law website.
Let me be crystal
clear. These vaccines are injuring and sometimes even killing our military, and
those in the public that are buying the 'safe and effective' marketing. These
numbers prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt. ~ Thomas Renz, attorney at law
The data show that,
compared to the previous five-year averages, miscarriages were up 279% among
DOD personnel in 2021, breast cancer went up 487%, nervous system disorders
1,048%, male infertility 350%, female infertility 471%, ovarian dysfunction
437% and on and on. As noted by Renz during U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson's "COVID-19:
A Second Opinion" panel:
"The Whistle-blower
data, this DMED database, has provided a control group of sorts. It's military
records dating back several years that supply medical codes for various medical
issues that our military face such as cancers, miscarriages, neurological
disorders etc.
These records provided
by three military doctors ... show a historical baseline of what the health of
the American military was like before 2021, the year the COVID vaccine was
released. What you see is quite disturbing.
From 2016 to 2020 all
variations of medical conditions stay consistent. But in 2021, when the
variable of the vaccine is mandated, the spike in cancers, miscarriages,
infertility, you name it, jumps by factors of hundreds to thousands of percent.
Let me be crystal
clear. These vaccines are injuring and sometimes even killing our military, and
those in the public that are buying the 'safe and effective' marketing. These
numbers prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt."
Pentagon's Response —
An Even Bigger Story
In response to the
leaked DMED data, the Pentagon is now claiming that "a glitch" in the
database resulted in incomplete data sets being shown for the five years Renz
is using as a baseline. The real medical diagnoses for 2016 through 2020 are
far higher, they claim, and that made the 2021 numbers appear falsely elevated.
According to Maj.
Charlie Dietz, a task force public affairs officer for the DOD, the DMED was
taken offline "to identify and correct the root cause of the data
corruption." Once the supposed "missing" medical diagnoses were
added back in, the reported number of diseases and injuries for 2021 were 3%
LOWER than 2020, and the lowest it's been in six years. As reported by The
Blaze:
"Where those true
numbers existed, why they weren't in the system for five years, what exactly
was in the system, and why the 2021 numbers were accurate according to the DOD
account remain a mystery.
However, one by one,
the military public health officials have been adding back random numbers to
the 2016 through 2020 codes. I'm told by Renz and two of the whistleblowers
that throughout the past week, they have queried the same data again, and in
most of the ICD categories, they have found that the numbers from 2016 through
2020 were 'increased' exponentially to look as though 2021 was not an abnormal
year.
This has been done
without any transparency, any press release, any statement of narrative, and
sloppily in a way that makes the already unbelievable narrative simply
impossible to believe.
In addition to
believing that every epidemiological report for five years was somehow
completely tainted with false data ... we would have to believe that the minute
they discovered this from Renz, they suddenly discovered the exact numbers. A
five-year mistake fixed overnight !"
Incompetence,
Corruption, Both — or Worse ?
Making this clown show
even more indefensible is that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's
Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has admitted that they've
been monitoring the DMED data from the start.
Either way you slice
it, we have a serious problem. If the DoD just now discovered corrupted data in
the DMED, then there's incompetence in its ranks. And if ACIP was looking at
the DMED data and kept pushing for vaccination despite alarming safety signals,
then ACIP is incompetent — or worse.
If there's nothing
wrong with the database and the numbers Renz initially obtained were accurate,
then people within the DOD are falsifying data to cover up COVID jab injuries
and sacrificing our military to protect Big Pharma profits — an action that, if
true, seems dangerously close to treason.
As noted by Steve
Kirsch,30 founder of the COVID-19 Early Treatment Fund, the DOD's
"explanation" for the discrepancy in its 2021 injury statistics is
just riddled with holes. First of all, they've not explained why 2016 through
2020 data were affected, yet 2021 was not.
Secondly, they've not
explained how they were able to correct "underreporting" of health
problems in 2016 through 2020. How did they know there was underreporting ? And
why didn't they fix it earlier ? Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly:
"Only symptoms that
were elevated by the vaccine were affected; that's impossible for a computer
glitch to have caused that ... That makes their 'corruption' explanation hard
to explain. Very hard to explain."
Pfizer Warns Investors
of Possible Business Impacts
Meanwhile, Pfizer
appears poised for the emergence of bad news. In its fourth quarter earnings release
and risk disclosure, the company admits that "the possibility of
unfavorable new preclinical, clinical or safety data and further analyses of
existing preclinical, clinical or safety data or further information regarding
the quality of preclinical, clinical or safety data, including by audit or
inspection" could impact earnings.
They also note
challenges related to public confidence, concerns about clinical data
integrity, and prescriber and pharmacy education as potential risks, and that's
in addition to the possibility that COVID-19 might "diminish in severity
or prevalence, or disappear entirely."
All-Cause Deaths
Soared in 2021
Collectively, patient
neglect, mistreatment, overtreatment and the COVID jabs have resulted in
massive disability and death. In early January 2022, OneAmerica, a national
mutual life insurance company based in Indianapolis, reported deaths among
working-age Americans (18 to 64) as of the third quarter of 2021 were 40%
higher than pre-pandemic rates — and they're not dying from COVID.
Compare that to the
15.4% increase seen between 2019 and 2020. In December 2021, Fortune magazine
reported this as the highest life insurance payout increase in 100 years. Well,
they ain't seen nothing yet, as the saying goes. OneAmerica CEO Scott Davidson
said:
"We are seeing,
right now, the highest death rates we have seen in the history of this business
— not just at OneAmerica. The data is consistent across every player in that
business.
And what we saw just
in third quarter, we're seeing it continue into fourth quarter, is that death
rates are up 40% over what they were pre-pandemic. Just to give you an idea of
how bad that is, a three-sigma or a one-in-200-year catastrophe would be 10%
increase over pre-pandemic. So, 40% is just unheard of."
At the same time,
OneAmerica has also noticed an uptick in disability claims. Initially, there
was a rise in short-term disability claims, but now most claims are for
long-term disabilities. The company expects the rise in claims will cost them
"well over $100 million," an unexpected expense that will be passed
on to employers buying group life insurance policies.
Globally, the life
insurance industry was hit with claims amounting to $5.5 billion in the first
nine months of 2021, which is when the COVID jabs were most aggressively rolled
out. During all of 2020, the height of the pandemic, claims only reached $3.5
billion. According to one insurance broker cited by Reuters, the industry was
caught off-guard, as they expected the mass vaccination campaign to result in
lower payouts in 2021. Reuters also reports that:
The Dutch insurer
Aegon, which does two-thirds of its business in the U.S., saw U.S. claims rise
from $31 million in 2020, to $111 million 2021
U.S. insurers MetLife
and Prudential Financial also reported an increase in claims for 2021 compared
to 2020 and pre pandemic years
Reinsurer Munich Re
raised its 2021 estimate of COVID-19 life and health claims from 400 million
euros to 600 million euros
Treat COVID Symptoms
Immediately and Aggressively
We live in heart-breaking
times —so much unnecessary pain, suffering and death. The fact that so many of
these atrocities are occurring in our hospitals make the situation all the more
disconcerting. This, truly, is not the time to go to the hospital unless your
life depends on it.
That's the last place
you want to be right now, for any reason. It's beyond tragic, but you simply
cannot count on hospitals to give unconflicted care like you could in the past,
and that could lead to your premature demise.
Your best alternative
is to be prepared. Create a "COVID survival kit," much like you would
a tornado or hurricane kit, so you can spring into action and treat yourself
immediately at first symptoms. Perhaps it's the common cold or regular influenza;
maybe it's the much milder Omicron, but since it's hard to tell them apart,
your best bet is to treat all cold/flu symptoms as you would treat earlier
forms of COVID.
And, remember, this
advice applies for those who have gotten the jab as well, since you're just as
likely to get infected — and perhaps even more so. Early treatment protocols
with demonstrated effectiveness include:
The Front Line
COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance's (FLCCC's) prevention and early at-home
treatment protocol. They also have an in-hospital protocol and long-term
management guidance for long-haul COVID-19 syndrome. You can find a listing of
doctors who can prescribe Ivermectin and other necessary medicines on the FLCCC
website
The AAPS protocol
Tess Lawrie's World
Council for Health protocol
America's Frontline
Doctors
Based on my review of these protocols, I've developed the following summary of the treatment specifics I believe are the easiest and most effective.
The Plan to Turn You into a Genetically Edited
Human Cyborg
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
February 14, 2022
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
The U.K. Ministry of
Defense and the German Bundeswehr Office for Defense Planning Human stress that
human augmentation needs to be a key area of focus to win future wars
Human augmentation
will not be restricted to the military ranks. It’s really a way to further
separate classes of humans, with the rich and powerful elite eventually using
their augmented “super-human” status as justification to rule everyone else
The goal of The Fourth
Industrial Revolution — introduced and pushed by the World Economic Forum — is
transhumanism, the merging of man with machine
Human augmentation can
directly affect behavior, either positively or to the detriment of that person
In the transhumanist
view, the human body is a “platform” that can be augmented in myriad ways,
physically, psychologically and socially
A May 2021 project
report by the U.K. Ministry of Defense, created in partnership with the German
Bundeswehr Office for Defense Planning, offers shocking highlights of the
dystopian cybernetics future that global technocrats are pushing mankind
toward.
The report, “Human
Augmentation — The Dawn of a New Paradigm, a Strategic Implications Project,”
reviews the scientific goals of the U.K. and German defense ministries, and
they are precisely what the title suggests. Human augmentation is stressed as
being a key area to focus on in order to win future wars.
But human augmentation
will not be restricted to the military ranks. It’s really a way to further
separate classes of humans, with the rich and powerful elite being augmented
“super-humans.” It’s worth noting that anything released to the public is a
decade or more behind current capabilities, so everything in this report can be
considered dated news, even though it reads like pure science fiction.
“... the field of
human augmentation has the potential to transform society, security and defense
over the next 30 years,” the report states. “We must begin to understand the
implications of these changes and shape them to our advantage now, before they
are thrust upon us.
Technology in warfare
has traditionally centered on increasingly sophisticated platforms that people
move and fight from, or artefacts that they wear or wield to fight with.
Advances in the life sciences and converging developments in related fields
are, however, beginning to blur the line between technology and the human ...
Many technologies that
have the potential to deliver strategic advantage out to 2050 already exist and
further advances will undoubtedly occur ... Our potential adversaries will not
be governed by the same ethical and legal considerations that we are, and they
are already developing human augmentation capabilities.
Our key challenge will
be establishing advantage in this field without compromising the values and
freedoms that underpin our way of life ...
When we think of human
augmentation it is easy to imagine science fiction inspired suits or wonder
drugs that produce super soldiers, but we are on the cusp of realizing the
benefits in a range of roles now. Human augmentation will help to understand,
optimize and enhance performance leading to incremental, as well as radical,
improvements.”
Changing What It Means
to Be Human
As noted in the
report, “Human augmentation has the potential to ... change the meaning of what
it means to be a human.” This is precisely what Klaus Schwab, founder and
executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), has stated is the goal of
The Fourth Industrial Revolution.
WEF has been at the
center of global affairs for more than 40 years, and if you take the time to
dive into WEF’s Fourth Industrial Revolution material, you realize that it’s
all about transhumanism. It’s about the merger of man and machine. This is a
dystopian future WEF and its global allies are actively trying to implement,
whether humanity at large agrees with it or not.
Schwab dreams of a
world in which humans are connected to the cloud, able to access the internet
through their own brains. This, of course, also means that your brain would be
accessible to people who might like to tinker with your thoughts, emotions,
beliefs and behavior, be they the technocratic elite themselves or random
hackers. As noted by history professor Yuval Noah Harari in late 2019, “humans
are now hackable animals.” As noted in the featured report:
“Human augmentation
will become increasingly relevant, partly because it can directly enhance human
capability and behavior and partly because it is the binding agent between
people and machines.
Future wars will be
won, not by those with the most advanced technology, but by those who can most
effectively integrate the unique capabilities of both people and machines. The
importance of human-machine teaming is widely acknowledged but it has been
viewed from a techno-centric perspective.
Human augmentation is
the missing part of this puzzle. Thinking of the person as a platform and
understanding our people at an individual level is fundamental to successful
human augmentation.”
Key words I’d like to
draw your attention to is the affirmation that human augmentation can “directly
enhance behavior.” Now, if you can enhance behavior, that means you can change
someone’s behavior. And if you can change a person’s behavior in a positive
way, you can also control it to the person’s own detriment.
Theoretically,
absolutely anyone, any random civilian with a brain-to-cloud connection and the
needed biological augmentation (such as strength or speed) could be given
wireless instructions to carry out an assassination, for example, and pull it
off flawlessly, even without prior training.
Alternatively, their
physical body could temporarily be taken over by a remote operator with the
prerequisite skills. Proof of concept already exists, and is reviewed by Dr.
Charles Morgan, professor in the department of national security at the
University of New Haven, in the lecture below. Using the internet and brain
implants, thoughts can be transferred from one person to another. The sender
can also directly influence the physical movements of the receiver.
The Human Platform
On page 12 of the
report, the concept of the human body as a platform is described, and how
various parts of the human platform can be augmented. For example:
Physical performance
such as strength, dexterity, speed and endurance can be enhanced, as well as
physical senses. One example given is gene editing for enhanced sight
Psychological
performance such as cognition, emotion and motivation can be influenced to
activate and direct desired behavior. Examples of cognitive augmentation
include improving memory, attention, alertness, creativity, understanding,
decision-making, intelligence and vigilance
Social performance —
“the ability to perceive oneself as part of a group and the readiness to act as
part of the team” — can be influenced. Communication skills, collaboration and
trust are also included here.
They list several
different ways to influence the physical, psychological and social performance
of the “human platform,” including genetics (germ line and somatic
modification), the gut microbiome, synthetic biology, invasive (internal) and
noninvasive (external) brain interfaces, passive and powered exoskeletons,
herbs, drugs and nano technology, neurostimulation, augmented reality
technologies such as external holograms or glasses with built-in artificial
intelligence, and sensory augmentation technologies such as external sensors or
implants. As noted in the report:
“The senses can be
extended by translating frequencies beyond the normal human range into
frequencies that can been seen, heard or otherwise detected. This could allow
the user to ‘see’ through walls, sense vibrations and detect airborne chemicals
and changes to magnetic fields.
More invasive options
to enhance existing senses have also been demonstrated, for example, coating
retinal cells with nanoparticles to enable vision in the infrared spectrum.”
They also point out
that, from a defense perspective, methods to de-augment an augmented opponent
will be needed. Can you even imagine the battlefield of the future, where
soldiers are barraged from both sides with conflicting inputs ?
As for ethics, the
paper stresses that “we cannot wait for the ethics of human augmentation to be
decided for us.” There may even be “moral obligations” to augment people, they
say, such as when it would “promote well-being” or protect a population from a
“novel threat.”
Interestingly, the
paper notes that “It could be argued that treatments involving novel
vaccination processes and gene and cell therapies are examples of human
augmentation already in the pipeline.” This appears to be a direct reference to
mRNA and vector DNA COVID jabs. If so, it’s an open admission that they are a
human augmentation strategy in progress.
The Challenge of
Unintended Consequences
Of course, there can
be any number of side effects and unintended outcomes when you start augmenting
an aspect of the human body or mind. As explained in the featured report:
“The relationship
between augmentation inputs and outputs is not as simple as it might appear. An
augmentation might be used to enhance a person’s endurance but could
unintentionally harm their ability to think clearly and decisively in a timely
fashion.
In a warfighting context,
an augmentation could make a commander more intelligent, but less able to lead
due to their reduced ability to socially interact or because they increasingly
make unethical decisions. Even a relatively uncontentious enhancement such as
an exoskeleton may improve physical performance for specific tasks, but
inadvertently result in a loss of balance or reduced coordination when not
being worn.
The notion of
enhancement is clouded further by the intricacies of the human nervous system
where a modifier in one area could have an unintended effect elsewhere.
Variation between people makes designing enhancements even more challenging.”
Still, none of that is
cause to reconsider or slow down the march toward transhumanism, according to
the authors. We just need to understand the human body better, and for that, we
need to collect and analyze more data on human performance, behavior, genetics
and epigenetics. As noted by the authors:
“Devices that track
movement, heart rate, oxygenation levels and location are already commonplace
and will become increasingly accurate and sophisticated, making it possible to
gather an increasingly wide array of performance data in real time. We can also
analyze data in ways that were impossible even five years ago.
Artificial
intelligence can analyze massive sets of information almost instantaneously and
turn it into products that can inform decision-making. This marriage of data
collection and analytics is the foundation of future human augmentation.”
Lab-Grown Designer Babies
As mentioned, by the
time a technological advancement is admitted publicly, the research is already
a decade or more down the road. Consider, then, the February 1, 2022, article
in Futurism, which announced that Chinese scientists have developed an artificial
intelligence nanny robot to care for fetuses grown inside an artificial womb.
According to Futurism:
“The system could
theoretically allow parents to grow a baby in a lab, thereby eliminating the
need for a human to carry a child. The researchers go so far as to say that
this system would be safer than traditional childbearing.”
As of now, the AI
robot is only in charge of lab-raised animal embryos, as “experimentation on
human embryos is still forbidden under international law.” However, that could
change at any time. In May 2021, the International Society for Stem Cell
Research went ahead and relaxed the rules on human embryonic experimentation.
Up until then, the
rule had been that no human embryo could be grown in a lab environment beyond
14 days. Human embryos may now be grown beyond 14 days if certain conditions
are met. In some countries, laws would still need to be changed to go beyond 14
days, but regardless, there’s no doubt that as transhumanism gets underway in
earnest, ethical considerations about growing babies in laboratories will be
tossed out.
Combine the announcement
of an AI robot nanny to care for lab-grown embryos with the 2018 announcement
that Chinese scientists were creating CRISPR gene-edited babies. As reported by
Technology Review, November 25, 2018, “A daring effort is underway to create
the first children whose DNA has been tailored using gene editing.”
The embryos were
genetically edited to disable a gene called CCR5, to make the babies “resistant
to HIV, smallpox and cholera.” The embryos were then implanted into a human
mother using in vitro fertilization. At the time, the lead scientist refused to
answer whether the undertaking had resulted in a live birth, but shortly
thereafter it was confirmed that one trial participant had indeed given birth
to gene-edited twins in November 2018.
In June 2019, Nature
magazine published an article11 questioning whether the CRISPR babies might
inadvertently have been given a shorter life span, as research had recently
discovered that people with two disabled copies of the CCR5 gene were 21% more
likely to die before the age of 76 than those with one functioning copy of that
gene. The babies might also be more susceptible to influenza and autoimmune
conditions, thanks to this genetic tinkering.
Should We Breed
Chimeras to Satisfy Need for Organs ?
Ethical considerations
about animal-human hybrids (chimeras) will probably also fall by the wayside
once transhumanism becomes normalized. Already, human-monkey hybrid embryos
have been grown by a team of Chinese and American scientists.
The hybrid embryos are
part of an effort to find new ways to produce organs for transplant patients.
The idea is to raise monkeys with human-compatible organs that can then be
harvested as needed. Here, the embryos were grown in test tubes for as long as
20 days — and this was done before the ISSCR officially agreed to relaxing the
14-day rule.
The question is, if
this kind of research ends up being successful, and the creation of animals
with human organs is actually feasible, at what point does the chimera become a
human ?
How do we know that
what looks like a monkey doesn’t have a human brain, with the intelligence that
goes with it ? Taking it a step further, even, what’s to prevent scientists
from growing human organ donors ? Human clones, even? It’s a slippery slope,
for sure.
Privacy in the Age of
Transhumanism
Perhaps one of the
greatest concerns I (and many others) have is that not only are we moving
toward a merger of man and machine, but at the same time we’re also
increasingly outsourcing human morality to machines. I cannot imagine the end
result being anything but devastating. How did that happen? Timandra Harkness,
a BBC Radio presenter and author of “Big Data: Does Size Matter ?” writes:
“As the recent
pandemic years have shown, the desire to be free from scrutiny unless there’s a
good reason to be scrutinized is widely seen as, at best, eccentric and, at
worst, automatic grounds for suspicion.
We simply can’t
articulate why a private life is valuable. We have no sense of ourselves as
autonomous beings, persons who need a space in which to reflect, to share
thoughts with a few others, before venturing into public space with words and
actions that we feel ready to defend ...
Part of the appeal of
technologies like AI is the fantasy that a machine can take the role of wise
parent, immune to the emotion and unpredictability of mere humans. But this
tells us less about the real capabilities of AI, and more about our
disillusionment with ourselves.
The urge to fix COVID,
or other social problems, with technology springs from this lack of trust in
other people. So does the cavalier disregard for privacy as an expression of
moral autonomy.
Technology ethics
can’t save us, any more than technology can. Even during a pandemic, how we
regard one another is the fundamental question at the root of ethics. So we do
need to treat technology as just a tool, after all. Otherwise we risk being
made its instruments in a world without morals.”
Morality Pills to
Subdue Dissent ?
Knowing what we know
already, there’s clearly cause for deep concern about the COVID jabs. It seems
unquestionable that they can cause very serious health problems, both acutely
and in the long term. Despite that, vaccine makers, national health agencies
and political leaders are pushing forward, calling for every man, woman and
child to get dosed multiple times.
There is simply no
doubt that the COVID jabs are the greatest human experiment in history. The
ramifications are already beyond devastating, but we really have no idea as to
what the full extent will be.
The same can be said
for every other pandemic measure employed, from universal masking and social
distancing to lockdowns. Not one is backed by scientific evidence showing
effectiveness, and we’ve only scratched the surface when it comes to assessing
the damage they’ve caused.
To subdue dissent against this unethical experimentation on the public, at least one person has suggested an outrageously radical idea: “Morality pills.” Basically, drug the population into submission. As reported by Forbes in August 2020:
“... bioethicist
Parker Crutchfield has suggested a controversial approach to battling the
pandemic — namely a ‘morality pill.’ Specifically, he suggests that widespread
administration of psychoactive drugs could provide ‘moral enhancement’ that
would make people more likely to adhere to social norms such as wearing masks
and adhering to social distancing guidelines ...
Crutchfield [notes]
that those ‘who need moral enhancement are also the least likely to sign up for
it.’ He therefore explores involuntary methods, such as legally requiring
people take the morality pill or administering the drug secretly via the water
supply.
In other words,
mandating people take a ‘morality pill’ doesn’t alter the fundamental moral
calculus of any proposed policy. It merely makes enforcing good (or bad) laws
easier for the authorities.”
Crutchfield’s suggestion seems ripped straight out of a dystopian novel, but it fits hand in glove with the technocratic ideology, which basically states that technocrats — a small, powerful elite who believe they can achieve immortality through transhumanism — are smarter and worthier of life than everyone else, and therefore have the right to dictate moral truth to the masses.
Editor’s Note: After
widespread criticism of its commentary on Crutchfield’s morality pills, Forbes
changed the article’s headline in February 2022 to “No, Don’t Use a ‘Morality
Pill’ to Stop the COVID Pandemic” and added an author’s note explaining the
headline was changed to “more clearly state” the author’s personal position.
Researchers Study Crafting Messages for Vaccine
Compliance
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola
February 16, 2022
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
In a study sponsored
by Yale University — and started before COVID-19 shots were rolled out —
researchers tested different messages of how to best persuade people to get
injected
Messages designed to
induce guilt, embarrassment, anger and “not bravery” were included
Psychological messages
that involve community interest, reciprocity and embarrassment worked best,
leading to a 30% increase in intention to get injected, a 24% increase in
willingness to tell a friend to get injected and a 38% increase in negative
opinions of those who decline to get the shot
The messages not only
impact people on an individual level but are intended to further divide
society, by encouraging people to pass negative judgment onto those who don’t
get the shot and pressure others to comply with “social norms”
In a study sponsored
by Yale University — and started before COVID-19 shots were rolled out —
researchers tested different messages of how to best persuade people to get
injected.
Officially titled,
“Persuasive Messages for COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake,” the researchers must have
had some forethought that people would be wary of an experimental gene therapy,
and set to work to decipher the best propaganda campaign to ensure their
widespread uptake.
The study’s abstract
starts out with questionable statements from the start, parroting the myth that
“Widespread vaccination remains the best option for controlling the spread of
COVID-19 and ending the pandemic.” The authors do not, however, expand on how
this is so, considering that just three months after the shot those who are
injected are just as likely to pass COVID-19 to their close contacts as those
who do not get the shot.
The reasons why people
may be reluctant to get COVID-19 shots — such as safety and efficacy concerns —
are also ignored by the study, which is only concerned with how to best use
psychological tactics to get people on board with being injected.
Guilt, Anger,
Embarrassment or Cowardice — What Works Best ?
The full study, which
was published in the December 3, 2021, issue of Vaccine, involved two
experiments. The first tested “treatment messages” designed to affect people’s
intentions about whether or not to get the shot. For the control group,
subjects were exposed to a message about bird feeding, while others read the
baseline vaccine message, as follows:
“To end the COVID-19
outbreak, it is important for people to get vaccinated against COVID-19
whenever a vaccine becomes available. Getting the COVID-19 vaccine means you
are much less likely to get COVID-19 or spread it to others. Vaccines are safe
and widely used to prevent diseases and vaccines are estimated to save millions
of lives every year.”
For the experiment,
the following messages were added to the baseline message:
Personal freedom
message
Economic freedom
message
Self-interest message
Community interest
message
Economic benefit
message
Guilt message
Embarrassment message
Anger message
Trust in science
message
Not bravery message
For example, the guilt
message, which is designed to work by social pressure, reads:
“The message is about
the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one's family and community.
The best way to protect them is by getting vaccinated and society must work
together to get enough people vaccinated. Then it asks the participant to
imagine the guilt they will feel if they don't get vaccinated and spread the
disease.”
Never mind that this
statement is false, since they can still spread the disease if they’re
injected. Similarly misleading messages designed to demean, guilt and shame
people into getting the shot include:
“If one doesn't get
vaccinated that means that one doesn't understand how infections are spread or
who ignores science.”
“Those who choose not
to get vaccinated against COVID-19 are not brave.”
“[I]t asks the
participant to imagine the embarrassment they will feel if they don't get
vaccinated and spread the disease.”
“[I]t asks the
participant to imagine the anger they will feel if they don't get vaccinated
and spread the disease.”
The researchers
explained it this way:
“One subgroup of
messages draws on the idea that mass vaccination is a collective action problem
and highlighting the prosocial benefit of vaccination or the reputational costs
that one might incur if one chooses not to vaccinate. Another subgroup of
messages built on contemporary concerns about the pandemic, like issues of
restricting personal freedom or economic security
We find that
persuasive messaging that invokes prosocial vaccination and social image
concerns is effective at increasing intended uptake and also the willingness to
persuade others and judgments of non-vaccinators.”
Propaganda Messages
Created With No Scientific Support
It’s ironic that the
study includes a “trust in science” message, since the messages used in the
study were created in early or mid-2020, before science was available to
support them. Yet, as noted by a Children’s Health Defense (CHD) article, “The
messages tested by the researchers have been woven into mainstream media
narratives and public health campaigns throughout the world.”
In the second part of
the study, the most effective messages from part one were tested on a
nationally representative sample of U.S. adults. This included the baseline
message along with community interest, community interest + embarrassment, not
bravery, trust in science and personal freedom messages.
They found that,
compared to the control group, psychological messages that involve community
interest, reciprocity and embarrassment worked best, leading to a 30% increase
in intention to get injected, along with a 24% increase in willingness to tell
a friend to get injected and a 38% increase in negative opinions of those who
decline to get the shot.
The messages are
designed to not only impact people on an individual level, but also further
divide society by encouraging people to pass negative judgment onto others and
pressure others to comply with “social norms.” According to the researchers:
“Viewing vaccination
through the lens of a collective action problem suggests that in addition to
increasing individuals’ intentions to receive a vaccine, effective public
health messages would also increase people’s willingness to encourage those
close to them to vaccinate and to hold negative judgments of those who do not
vaccinate.
By encouraging those
close to them to vaccinate, people are both promoting compliance with social
norms and increasing their own level of protection against the disease. Also,
by judging those who do not vaccinate more negatively, they apply social
pressure to others to promote cooperative behavior.”
Shots as a ‘Morally
Right Choice’
Since the pandemic
began, conforming to confusing and questionable public health mandates has been
made an issue of moral superiority — to the point that those who questioned
mask mandates were labeled as “grandma killers.”
In an article
published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in 2020, it’s
further noted that “vaccination is a social contract in which cooperation is
the morally right choice.” It further suggests that, under this social
contract, people should change their behaviors toward those who choose not to
get injected, and, indeed, people who are “especially compliant,” i.e.,
vaccinated, were less generous to those who were not. Further:
“If so, vaccinated
individuals should reciprocate by being more generous to a vaccinated other. On
the contrary, if the other doesn’t vaccinate and violates the social contract,
generosity should decline.”
Propaganda Aimed at
Making People Feel ‘Disgusting’
CHD pointed out that
one of the authors of the Yale study, Saad Omer, “has an extensive interest in
public health messaging” and was behind the “Building Vaccine Confidence
Through Tailored Messaging Campaigns” in 2020, which used social media to
convince people to get COVID-19 and other shots.
Working with the World
Health Organization’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts Working Group on
COVID Vaccines, Omer detailed what worked in the past to increase the uptake of
the HPV vaccine, and suggested it could work for COVID shots. The solution, he
said, involved appealing to values and stooping so low as to make a person feel
disgusting while presenting vaccines as a form of purity. CHD quoted Omer, who
said:
“We wanted to test
out, can we have a purity-based message ? So we showed them pictures of genital
warts and described a vignette, a narrative, a story, talking about how someone
got genital warts and how disgusting they were and how pure vaccines are that
sort of restore the sanctity of the body.
So we just analyzed
these data. This was a randomized control trial with apriori outcomes. We found
approximately 20 percentage point effect on people’s likelihood of getting an
HPV vaccine in the next 6 months … We are trying out liberty-based messages or
liberty-mediated messaging around this behavior related to COVID outbreak.
That wearing a mask or
taking precautions eventually make you free, regain your autonomy. Because if
the disease rates are low, your activities can resume.”
This is similar
propaganda to what’s being used to promote vaccine passports, with many
willingly giving up freedoms that, once gone, may be difficult, if not
impossible, to get back. By showing proof that you’ve received a COVID shot,
via a digital certificate or app on your phone, the hope is that you can once
again travel freely, attend a concert or enjoy a meal in your favorite
restaurant, just like you used to.
Except, being required
to present your “papers” in order to live your life isn’t actually freedom at
all — it’s a loss of freedom that you once had, one that disappeared right
before your eyes and one that’s setting the stage for increased surveillance
and control, and erosion of your privacy.
Propaganda Is the Real
Misinformation
Carefully crafted
messages that play on your emotions and moral compass are just one part of the
campaign to ensure public compliance with the mainstream narrative. Fact
checking is another tool being used in order to control virtually everything
you see and hear online, in order to serve a greater agenda.
Take the term
“conspiracy theory,” which is now used to dismiss narratives that go against
the grain. According to investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson, this is
intentional, as the term itself was devised by the CIA as a response to
theories about the assassination of JFK.
Debunked, quackery and
anti-vaccine are all terms that are similarly being used as propaganda tools.
“There’s a whole cast of propaganda phrases that I’ve outlined that are cues.
When you hear them, they should make you think, ‘I need to find out more about
it,’” Attkisson says.
Likewise, CHD
explained, “The efforts to eliminate ‘misinformation’ resulted in unprecedented
censorship of virtually anything that steps outside of state-sanctioned
consensus and the creation of a captive audience primed to accept a singular
narrative.”
It’s important to
remain aware that messages are being carefully crafted to mold human behavior
to comply with COVID shots and other public health measures — and to recognize
that the use of propaganda is perfectly legal, even in the U.S.
As CHD continued, “And
thanks to a multibillion-dollar budget from the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we are under
the influence of the best messages money can buy — whether or not those
messages are true.”
