Jacinta Nampijinpa Price is trying to shed her armour. If only for a day. She is reclining in a rocking chair on a veranda overlooking lush rolling hills near Tamworth in central NSW while her energetic Scottish-born musician husband Colin Lillie darts about ahead of his gig at the Tamworth Country Music Festival. This is Price’s happy place, where she and Colin can revel in their shared love of music and leave behind the bloodsport of federal politics.

“Here I am just Colin’s roadie,” she says of their ­annual visit to the festival. Nearby is the caravan they’re staying in, perched on the hill and notable for the Australian flag flying from a pole above it. It’s a few days before Australia Day and Price’s efforts to escape the world – or “take off her armour”, as her husband puts it – are failing. Her phone is buzzing with media ­requests to talk about her well-known pride in Australia Day. It’s the topic which, back in 2016, first catapulted Price to national attention when she wrote an ­impassioned defence of the national day in a social media post.

“I love this country for what it has given me,” she wrote back then. “I feel people choose to be a slave to an ideology that paints whites as ­oppressors and racists, and blacks as victims to be mollycoddled. I feel that Australia Day, ­nowadays, at the heart of it, is being used as a political platform for this ideology.”

“WHAT?”, others screamed in horror. An ­Indigenous woman embracing Australia Day? The day of invasion, of white colonisation? How could she say such a thing? Where is her black armband? Why is she so proud of this country? Who is this Jacinta Price?

Almost a decade on, Price is no less provocative. Now a household name after her high-­profile role for the No campaign in the Voice referendum, people either love her or hate her with not much in between. But controversy has not stopped the relentless march of this 43-year-old Warlpiri-Celtic woman through the ranks of conservative politics. Good luck trying to pigeonhole her. She is a revisionist, a radical and a conservative all at once. She says things that no other politician would dream of saying. She has a vision of Indigenous Australia that up-ends decades of conventional progressive wisdom. She repudiates the narrative of invasion trauma and states that Aboriginal domestic violence is ingrained in traditional culture and must be tackled as such. You could hear a pin drop around the country last year when told the National Press Club she believed colonisation has had a “positive” impact on Indigenous Australians because “we’ve got running water, we’ve got readily available food. I mean, everything that my grandfather had was because of the whitefellas”.

No prominent Indigenous leader has ever said such a thing. Fellow Indigenous leader Marcia Langton has declared her a “gothic personality” with a “dangerous agenda”. Langton once said she suspected Price was “useful coloured help”, brought in by “conservative outfits” to “help in rescuing… [their] racist image”.

Price calls Langton’s claim insulting, and is unrepentant. “What Marcia did was highlight one of the issues that drove me into politics in the first place: the widespread and deeply ­entrenched view that Aboriginal people all have to think the same way – that we’re not entitled to our own opinion, and if for some reason we don’t subscribe to the view that we’re all victims of colonisation, then we are to be pilloried,” she says.

If the upcoming election falls the way of the Coalition, Price will be the Minister for Indigenous Affairs in the Dutton Government, and the Minister for Government Efficiency, a newly created post – and potential flashpoint – that could afford her sweeping powers to overhaul the bureaucracy. It would mean Australian policy towards First Nations people, and potentially Canberra, will never be the same again.

Thump.

My head.

Blood. Warm and sticky. Trickles down my face.

F..king bastard.

My head.

My f..king head.

It hurts so much.

Run, Jacinta, run.

For your f..king life.

Never look back.

So starts Price’s new memoir Matters of the Heart. She was in her mid-twenties, a divorced single mum with three young boys living in Alice Springs, when she met a non-Indigenous man named Jai. “This relationship set off major alarm bells from day one, but I didn’t hear them, or perhaps I didn’t want to hear them. I was vulnerable, I had money in the bank, and I was looking for love. I was an easy target for a charlatan. Come in, spinner,” she writes.

She caught Jai cheating on her and when she confronted him, he bashed her while she was in her bed, tried to choke her and rape her and then smashed her in the head with a bedside light before she bolted out the door and into the street with blood flowing from her head. Jai was eventually charged with aggravated assault. For Price, who had grown up with “stories of rape, domestic violence and the murder of young girls and women everywhere”, the fact that she had narrowly escaped from such brutality shook her to the core.

“I went through a stage where I just felt such an emptiness. My self-esteem was completely shattered. Everything that I thought about what it meant to be a good human being, a good wife, a good partner and seeing the good in ­others was just shredded,” she says as she looks out over the Tamworth hinterland.

But worse was to come. “It would be easy for me to gloss over this period, perhaps to briefly touch on it and move on, but there is no point in me telling my story if I’m not completely honest. And that means sharing the darkest period of my life. It’s a time I’m not proud of, but one that very much shaped who I am today.”

After her relationship with Jai, Price and her former first husband, Simon Castle, a childhood sweetheart with whom she had three young boys, agreed on a custody arrangement of two weeks on and two weeks off. But Price says she fell into a “Jekyll and Hyde” life of being a responsible mum for two weeks and then hitting the party scene for the next two. “Without the boys buzzing around, the house was uncomfortably quiet and lonely. When they were babies I had craved time to myself, but now I didn’t like being alone and made sure there was always someone around.” she writes.

“Sometimes we’d go out to the pub and have enough drinks to take the edge off my creeping anxiety – and when the weekends arrived, with no kids to look after, the girls and I hit the town. I’d never had this much freedom in my life, and I was making up for lost time. I could go ­anywhere and do anything I liked without the responsibility of mouths to feed, clothes to wash and kids to bathe. On the dance floor, I lost myself – I felt like I was 17 again.”

Price says that for “a few brief hours, alcohol magically washed away my fears and the ­persistent feelings of failure and self-loathing. I fell under its spell regularly.”

“Pills washed down with a lot of alcohol kickstarted benders that ended some time on Sunday afternoon, leaving me just enough time to get cleaned up and sobered up before fronting up to work on Monday. Some weekends my friends and I didn’t sleep at all,” she writes.

“At the time, I foolishly thought that the drugs like ecstasy were helping me shake off the darkness that constantly shadowed me. I revelled in the high that came from a tablet, but in truth each hit was contributing to a cycle of depression and anxiety, and each high was ­followed by a crushing low. I was caught in a dangerous cycle.

“I wanted to change. I hated who I’d ­become – I didn’t feel like myself and I wasn’t happy. With the support of my doctor, I entered a drug and alcohol rehab program, [which] involved intensive counselling, to identify and deal with the underlying emotions and feelings that were triggering my behaviour: my grief and feelings of failure after my marriage ended; the shock and fear I felt after Jai’s violent attacks; the loss of my identity and self-confidence.”

She says she is proud of how she came out of the spiral and reclaimed her life. But it made her reflect more on her childhood, her family and the scourge of domestic violence for all women. “It’s OK to be able to stand in front of the Australian people and to talk about your beliefs and how you think we can fix problems and that sort of thing. But it’s another thing to be able to say, ‘Look, I’ve been there. I’ve walked that road too’,” she says.


Although marked by the pain of losing her older brother, Linawu, to leukemia when he was just 10 years old, Price says she had a ­“wonderful” childhood growing up in Alice Springs
and at her mother’s hometown of Yuendumu, 300km to the northwest. But she says that as she grew older she came to realise the darkness that lurked within her community and even within her own extended family.

Her mother, Bess Price, a Walpiri community leader and a former Country Liberal Party politician for the Northern Territory electorate of Stuart, gave birth to Linawu at age 13 and went to live with his father in Yuendumu who subjected her to alcohol-fuelled beatings. “She still has a scar on her chest from his teeth after one attack, and lasting damage to one foot from when he used a house brick to crush her toes,” her daughter writes. Bess Price became an early critic of the high levels of violence and sexual abuse in Indigenous communities and later married Jacinta’s father, Dave, a white teacher from Newcastle, of Irish background from a staunch Catholic family. “I have many happy early memories of times at Yuendumu,” Price recalls. “As a child I was introduced to the wonderful aspects of our ­traditional culture and customs, and wrapped up in the love of a big, often crazy, Aboriginal family. But I was also acutely aware that ­Yuendumu had a dark side.

“I can’t pinpoint exactly when I first became aware of the violence or the drinking, because they were just always there: aunties would stay over at Mum and Dad’s to escape abusive husbands, or there’d be chatter about young girls being sent off to older men. On nights we stayed at Yuendumu, we heard the screams and saw the fights – and then we’d wake up the next morning and get on with life.”

Price also can’t pinpoint exactly when these experiences led her to openly question aspects of traditional culture. But there are clear markers. One was when she heard the story of her aunt Marion, who, on a Sunday in 1982, was seen getting into a car at Yuendumu with five men, each well known in that community. ­Marion, who was 14, was never seen again. The men in Yuendumu refused to speak and no charges were ever laid. “Marion had become yet another victim of a culture of silence that has protected perpetrators in Indigenous ­communities for decades,” writes Price.

Another of her aunts was repeatedly raped by an older man with such violence that she could never have children. In 2014 another aunt, her mother’s last surviving sister, Rosalie, was stabbed to death by another woman at a Warlpiri camp near Katherine.

The more Price looked at these tragedies, the more she came to believe that communities needed to bear more responsibility for their own behaviour and not simply blame white ­colonisation or other outside forces. “It’s important to understand the cultural laws and norms that enabled the disappearances [like Marion], because some of them are still in force today,” Price writes. “Warlpiri culture … is ­deeply patriarchal. Men are considered superior to women, occupying a privileged position in society, and the interests of the collective outweigh the rights of the individual. These principles, which are thousands of years old, are still being used to oppress women now.”

Despite the trailblazing example of her mother, Price says she never seriously considered a career in politics while growing up. At school in Alice Springs she played music and flirted with the idea of becoming a police officer, but all of her plans were upended when, in year 12, she fell pregnant to her then boyfriend Simon; the due date was the day of her year 12 formal. Almost a year later the new ­parents got married and moved out together; Price worked at a local gallery, while Simon worked as a bricklayer. By June 2003 Price had given birth to her third boy. She had just turned 22. But the marriage soon began to fray, and in 2006 she and Simon ­separated. She moved out and took the children with her.

“Becoming a single mum to three boys is by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” she writes. “I really hadn’t anticipated how deeply the loss of my marriage would affect me. Financially, it was crushing: I was still contributing to a mortgage on a home I didn’t live in, while trying to scrape together every dollar to find a place to live and support myself and my boys.”

Price’s next chapter was her darkest. She and the boys moved briefly to Darwin with her new boyfriend Jai. After Jai bashed her, she broke up with him and they returned to Alice where she fell into drug and booze fuelled depression.

Price was determined to rebuild her life in Alice, working at an arts organisation that promoted Aboriginal artists. She started playing AFL and formed a band with friends called Catch The Fly. (In 2013 she released an album, Dry River, produced by Bill Chambers, father of country singer Kasey Chambers.) She then got a job with Imparja Television as a co-host for their children’s show Yamba’s Playtime, a hugely popular program across central Australia about the adventures of Yamba the giant red honey ant. “Landing that role was a dream come true for me, and the beginning of one of the happiest periods of my life,” she says.

Price had another stroke of good luck at that time when she bumped into a Scottish man in Alice Springs Hospital, where both were taking their sick kids. They chatted briefly, then bumped into each other in the street a few months later. Then one day Price walked into a popular Alice Springs music bar with some friends without knowing that that same Scotsman, a musician named Colin Lillie, was playing there that night. “At first I didn’t see Colin, but he saw me. He remembers me wearing knee-high brown leather boots over my jeans, and a camel-coloured winter jacket. My hair was long and loosely curled. He turned to his mate and asked, ‘Who’s that woman?’”

“That’s Jacinta Price – she’s on TV and she’s famous,” he was told. Colin absolutely swears that he turned to his mate and declared, “I’m going to marry her.”

They began dating, cautiously at first, as both were still stitching their lives back together. Colin, now a successful musician, was the son of a domineering, alcoholic father from a remote village in Scotland. At the time he met Price he was three years sober and father to a four-year-old son.

“On the face of it, you might not expect an Aboriginal woman from the Australian ­Outback and a bus driver’s son from the north of Scotland to have too much in common,” says Price, who has previously been reluctant to talk in detail about the relationship. “As it turned out, we had both grown up surrounded by drunkenness and violence, in communities clouded by hopelessness and despair.”

They moved in together, with her three children and his one, and in January 2023 – 10 months before the Voice referendum – they held a secret wedding on the beach at Queensland’s Stradbroke Island with their kids and a handful of friends. “Our wedding was small, ­intimate and absolutely perfect,” she recalls. “I was so proud to be Mrs Lillie.”

Price says her pathway into politics was ­unplannedand was never on her “to-do list”. “[But] with an example like Mum in my own family, maybe I was always going to end up in politics,” she says. She was already forming strong political views without fully realising it. She remembers being hugely relieved in 2007 when, two months after the Little Children Are Sacred report was published describing the rape and murder of children, including babies, in Indigenous communities the Howard ­Government introduced the Intervention, ­restricting alcohol and pornography in remote communities. “The usual critics hated the ­Intervention and decried it as racist, but the ­silent majority of us in Alice Springs were bloody grateful that someone was actually doing something,” she recalls.

Yet it was not until 2015 that friends persuaded Price to dip her toe into politics, by running for, and winning, a seat on the Alice Springs Town Council. Shortly afterwards, in early 2016, she penned that incendiary social media post about Australia Day which changed everything. “After 24 hours, my post had been read by more than 130,000 people and had been shared more than 10,000 times,” she recalls. “I’d unwittingly tapped into something important, and without any warning it changed my life: suddenly the media was contacting me and I was inundated with requests to speak. In an instant, I had a national platform.”

Price was in hot demand because, in her own words, there “weren’t too many black voices in the media providing a different view to that ­offered by the city-based academic activists”.

She says being a victim of domestic ­violence made her more determined to speak out. “I thought, ‘Stuff it, I’m not going to remain silent and I don’t care who I piss off in doing so’.”

She believes too many Indigenous leaders seek to blame others for the problems of Aboriginal Australians rather than looking in their own communities. “We’ve got a lot of crap that needs cleaning up in our own backyards,” she says. “Our children experience the highest rates of sexual abuse, our women suffer the highest rates of domestic and family violence, and yet if I criticise this some Indigenous people say, ‘Oh, you’re making us look bad’ or ‘You’re emboldening racists.’ We’ve got to get off our backsides and actually support the victims and hold ­people accountable for their crimes.”

Marcia Langton ­disagrees with Price’s claims, saying it is “self-serving” to point the finger at Indigenous ­communities when domestic violence is ­endemic and spread across society. “With more than 100 women of all cultural backgrounds murdered in Australia in the last 18 months, the women of Australia deserve better than her self-serving, attention-seeking campaign,” Langton says. “The evidence shows that this ­violence is universal and cannot be explained by her simple theory.”

However, as Price points out in her book, “The Australian Institute of Health and ­Welfare reports that in 2022-23, Indigenous women were 34 times more likely to be hospitalised as a result of domestic violence than non-Indigenous women.”

Price decided that if she was going to effect meaningful change she needed to be in Canberra. In early 2018 she was preselected as the Country Liberal Party candidate for the seat of Lingiari but lost in 2019 to the Labor incumbent Warren Snowdon. Two years later she won preselection as the CLP’s candidate for the Senate, and at the 2022 election she became a Senator for the Northern Territory.

Dressed in a cream, soft plum and dusty pink fabric designed by artist Eunice Napanangka Jack from Ikuntji Artists – the first art centre established by women in the Western Desert Art movement – Price used her maiden speech to deliberately rile black-armband activists by saying she “always was and always will be … a proud Australian”. She also railed against what she described as empty symbolic gestures, like the Walk for Reconciliation across Sydney Harbour Bridge or the endless Welcome to Country rituals.

Subsequently, she emerged as the most high-profile opponent of the Indigenous Voice to Parliament, which Anthony Albanese had proposed during the election campaign. “The Voice, as I saw it, was just one more symbolic gesture – a gesture Indigenous people didn’t need, and one that could actually do us harm,” she writes. “A single ‘Voice’ representing ­Indigenous people was insulting.”

‘Australians have an acute bullshit barometer: we can sniff it in the wind, and we don’t like it.’ Picture: James Horan

Her argument was that it would do nothing to actually improve the lives of Indigenous ­people, and it divided people by race. In any case, she said, it was “plain wrong” to suggest Indigenous Australians did not already have a voice. “When I joined the Senate in 2022, I was one of 11 Indigenous voices in the federal parliament, a record number. Together we made up 4.8 per cent of federal parliamentarians, at a time when Indigenous people were 3.2 per cent of the Australian population.”

Price soon became the public face of the No vote along with another Indigenous leader, Warren Mundine, revealing in her book that she approached the powerful Advance lobby group to join the anti-Voice campaign. But it was a brutal arena to be a gladiator in. Price was detested by the Left and especially by many other Indigenous leaders who saw her as a traitor to her people. “The campaigning was sometimes nasty, even vicious, and some of the attacks on me were deeply personal,” she recalls. “At one point I had to change my phone because my number had been publicly exposed, and the campaign team were constantly intercepting vile, hateful and physically threatening emails, letters and social media comments, trying to protect me from the worst of them.” Soon Price needed an Australian Federal Police security detail wherever she went.

“For every person who said something nasty to me publicly, there were plenty more doing it online and on social media, hiding behind fake names. My parents became a target, too: their home was vandalised, pelted with eggs and paint, bottles were smashed across their driveway and terrible things were said to them.

“And then there were the very public, very personal attacks by people like Noel Pearson, who suggested I was caught up in a ‘tragic ­redneck celebrity vortex’, and Marcia Langton, who said that if you started pulling arguments for the No case apart, you’d always get down to ‘base racism’, or ‘just sheer stupidity’.

“I took great exception to that. I’ve always believed that Australians have an acute bullshit barometer: we can sniff it in the wind, and we don’t like it. Australians are not racist, and we are not a racist country,” writes Price.

Former prime minister John Howard says he admired the way Price tackled the Voice debate. “Hers was not the language of complaint,” he writes in a foreword to her memoir. “She did not accuse her fellow Australians of inherent discrimination and bigotry … Rather, she appealed to the common aspiration of all decent-minded people to remove the barriers and dissolve the differences which unfairly impede so many of our Indigenous brothers and sisters.

“[Her] story is an optimistic and positive one. It is the story of a person who … has worked, lived and married across racial boundaries. This is of course the antithesis of how life in Australia is depicted by those who argue that the history of this country is steeped in racism and discrimination against minorities.”

Price says when the Voice referendum results came in, she felt relief and gratitude above all. She says she just wanted life to go back to normal. “But life wasn’t the same, and it will never be the same again,” she says. “My family had front-row seats to an extraordinary chapter in our nation’s history, during which we saw the very best and the very worst of humanity.”

The morning after the referendum result, Price says that she, Colin and the boys had breakfast at a coffee shop in Brisbane, where she saw a group of people at a nearby table whispering and staring at her. Then, to her amazement, they stood up and clapped. It was a reaffirming moment after such a brutal campaign. (She says she was quickly brought back to Earth by her boys: “Mum, you might have saved Australia … but can I have fifty bucks?”)

It was months later, at the most unexpected time, when the emotional cost of being the face of the most divisive referendum in a generation finally caught up with her. Price was in Edinburgh, Scotland, driving down the city’s famed Royal Mile, when she suddenly felt the heaviness in her chest lift. “[It was] an almighty physical and emotional release. Tears. Floods of them. The pressure of the last 12 months of the Voice, the build-up of anger, sadness and despair, and my relief at the result all rushed to the surface from deep within, and I couldn’t stop crying.

“It was in that moment, in the car with Colin, crying my eyes out, in the silence and serenity of Edinburgh, that I found myself again,” she says. “I was just Jacinta.”

So why write a memoir now, on the eve of an election? She smiles and says her aim is to give “Australians more of an understanding as to why I am passionate about the issues I have advocated for. I wanted to give a more personal perspective, you know, Jacinta the human, the mother, the daughter, the sister, the child, as opposed to the politician.”

Price uses the book to make a series of promises, saying she will “support Australians on the basis of need, not race”.

“Aboriginal communities need to reject outdated beliefs and cultural practices too, leaving the entrenched misogyny of the past behind. It’s time that we stopped treating women and girls as possessions to be traded,” she writes. “It’s also high time we stopped romanticising ‘the world’s oldest living culture’, and work out how our culture can adapt to a changing world, not just to survive but to thrive.”

Price has pledged to call for a royal commission into the sexual abuse and domestic and family violence suffered by Aboriginal women. “We must understand the full truth of what is happening in our communities, and what has happened in our communities. We must find the courage of our voices, no more silence.”

This memoir is clearly aimed at underpinning the next chapter in Price’s political journey. If the Coalition wins government, she’ll be a cabinet minister by mid-year. But many ­wonder whether an even higher office one day beckons. Does Price see herself, like some of her backers do, as a potential prime minister?

“Yeah, that’s a big call,” she says. “I mean, I’m absolutely grateful and humbled by the fact that a lot of Australians … you know, I hear that on a regular basis, but I’m like, you know, there’s a lot involved with becoming the prime minister. And do I really want the top job? I mean, my life already doesn’t really belong to me.”

She says her only aim right now is to make the changes that will improve the lives of Indigenous Australians. “I’d say, ask me once I’ve achieved those, how I feel about that. Yeah, that’s what I’d say.”

Then she pauses before adding: “On the other hand, part of me is quite a spiritual thinker, and if I’m called to that [higher office], then I’m obliged. Yeah.”

Matters of the Heart by Jacinta Nampijinpa Price (HarperCollins) is out on Wednesday

JP is a heroine of mine.  I became very emotional reading this article. She has achieved so much despite adversity of the most serious king.  I am not going to condescend to Politics but I would say that her real life experience puts her in a special position to help Australians, all Australians..  She is a realist and a “doer”, not a complainer.  Her presence in Parliament is much needed.

She is already an inspiration to all Australians. After spending 35 years on the Tiwi Islands and NT, my own views had to be kept private for so long, given the largely southern consensus. She crystallises them with her authenticity. Thank you Jacinta!

Movie -Witness Statement: Overwhelming evidence for Australian Covid vaxx injury prosecutions

The ongoing Covid vaccine epidemic and now more than 100,000 unnecessary vaccine deaths in Australia was brought to you by Liberals, Nationals, Labor and Greens. And you are going to vote for them?

First Release

The Greatest Crimes in Australia’s History – The Story is Confronting

Witness Statement 1 January 2025, has been released, telling the story of the most serious crimes ever committed in Australian history.

The documentary addresses all Australian Police, State and Federal, and calls on them to identify and investigate alleged crimes and pursue prosecution of the offenders, without fear or favour.

The film outlines numerous facts supported by indisputable data and evidence, of alleged criminal actions perpetrated on the people of Australia through the approval, promotion, mandating and injection of Covid-19 vaccines.

It presents data, information, expert testimony and referenced evidence, in relation to the victims, the alleged crimes, the alleged offenders, the weapons used, possible motives, and the intent and means of the offenders.

Numerous facts predominantly from Australian sources support the argument, including from our own Prof Ian Brighthope, Dr Phillip Altman, and Dr Jeyanthi Kunadhasan. Other foreign experts contribute including the famous English cancer specialist Professor Angus Dalgleish, the UK cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhotra, Dr Paul Marik, Dr David Martin and Dr Peter McCullough from the United States, and many more.

You will also hear from many of the brave Australian politicians who tried to expose the truth about the Covid-19 pandemic and vaccines, including Senator Malcolm Roberts and Senator Gerard Rennick, as well as current and former members of parliament, Russell Broadbent, Craig Kelly and George Christensen.

The facts presented clearly show that there were many serious departures from reasonable standards of conduct and care and unlawful actions, which caused significant harm to Australian men, women and children.

But the film is also a beacon of light for those who have not yet been exposed to truthful media reports about the true risks and harms of the Covid-19 injections. These are not conventional vaccines. They are according to global experts, not vaccines, but gene therapy bioweapons.

The truth is already in the public domain, but sourcing the information can be challenging for those who don’t know where to look. This documentary strings the publicly available data together in a way that is easy to access and understand.

After watching this documentary, the misleading slogan ‘Safe and Effective’, will ring untrue – loud and clear – as the lies are exposed.

The documentary is lengthy at 2.5 hours, but it is presented in 9 parts, so that you can pause after, or during, each section to reflect and consider the information carefully. Once you press play, you will want to watch to the end.

The documentary has been mailed to the Federal Attorney General, Mark Dreyfus, and all State and Territory Police Commissioners, with a call to action to watch the documentary and take action to investigate the alleged crimes and prosecute the offenders.

A link to the film will also be emailed to our elected representatives at Council, State and Federal level, to ensure that they too can be informed of the facts and take action to protect the people from further harm.

There is sufficient evidence in this video for a junior constable from your local police station to mount a prosecution of all those involved in committing genocide against the Australian population using a bioweapon developed in a laboratory with gain-of-function research.

It is not and never has been a vaccine – it is a gene-altering inoculation with long-term, harmful consequences for the human body. Please note there have been a number of remedies developed and now on the market but you wont find them at your local pharmacy. They too are complicit.

Send this video to everyone in your address book and hand it to any police officer, solicitor and barrister you may know. It is waste of time giving it to any main stream media such as News Ltd, Fairfax or the ABC. They too are implicated.

Somewhere, someone you know has either been killed or injured by a Covid vaxx or they know somebody who has.

Dr. Fauci’s Most Notable Critic

“The PCR is a process. It does not tell you that you are sick.” –Dr. Kary Mullis, (image right) Nobel Laureate and Inventor of the RT-PCR, passed away in August 2019.
“…All or a substantial part of these positives could be due to what’s called false positives tests.” –Dr. Michael Yeadon, distinguished scientist, former Vice President and Chief Science Officer of Pfizer
“This misuse of the RT-PCR technique is applied as a relentless and intentional strategy by some governments to justify excessive measures such as the violation of a large number of
constitutional rights, … under the pretext of a pandemic based on a number of positive RT PCR tests, and not on a real number of patients.” –Dr. Pascal Sacré, Belgian physician specialized in critical care and renowned public health analyst. “I have seen massive efforts made to deliberately inflate Covid death numbers by relabelling cancer patients and stroke victims and all manner of normal regular deaths as Covid, in fact virtually anyone getting into an ambulance. The methods used to do so were totally flawed, PCR
tests for example being run on 45 cycles we all know to be worthless, yet people are being euthanised on this basis and sometimes only on the basis of a chest x-ray alone.” –John
O’Looney, Funeral Director, Milton Keynes, U.K.
From the outset of this crisis in January 2020, all far-reaching policy decisions upheld and presented to the public as a “means to saving lives” were based on flawed and invalid RT PCR positive cases.
These invalid COVID-19 “estimates” have been used to justify confinement, social distancing, wearing of the face mask, the prohibition of social gatherings, cultural and sports events, the
closure of economic activity, as well as the enforcement of the mRNA “vaccine” launched in November 2020. There is no such thing as a “COVID-19 confirmed case”.– Michel Chossudovsky, Professor of Economics (emeritus), University of Ottawa.

The slanted methodology applied under WHO guidance for detecting the alleged spread of the virus is the Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test, which has been routinely applied all over the world since February 2020. (This Text below is an excerpt from Michel Chossudovsky’s book, August 2022)
The Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test by Michel Chossudovsky The RT-PCR test has been used worldwide to generate millions of erroneous “COVID-19
confirmed cases”, which are then used to sustain the illusion that the alleged pandemic is real.
This assessment based on erroneous numbers has been used in the course of three and and a half years to spearhead and sustain the fear campaign.
“Confirmed” is a misnomer. A “confirmed RT-PCR positive case” does not imply a “COVID-19 confirmed case”. “Positive RT-PCR is not synonymous with the COVID-19 disease! PCR specialists make it clear that a test must always be compared with the clinical record of the patient being tested, with the patient’s state of health to confirm its value [reliability]. (Dr. Pascal Sacré) The procedure used by the national health authorities is to categorize all RT-PCR positive
cases as “COVID-19 confirmed cases” (with or without a medical diagnosis). Ironically, this routine process of identifying “confirmed cases” is in derogation of the CDC’s own guidelines:
“Detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus or that 2019-nCoV is the causative agent for clinical symptoms. The performance of this test has not been
established for monitoring treatment of 2019-nCoV infection. This test cannot rule out diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens.” (emphasis added) The methodology used to detect and estimate the spread of the virus is flawed and invalid.
False Positives
The earlier debate at the outset of the crisis focused on the issue of “false positives.” Acknowledged by the WHO and the CDC, the RT-PCR test was known to produce a high percentage of false positives. According to Dr. Pascal Sacre?: “Today, as authorities test more people, there are bound to be more positive RT-PCR
tests. This does not mean that COVID-19 is coming back, or that the epidemic is moving in waves. There are more people being tested, that’s all.”
The debate on false positives (acknowledged by health authorities) points to so-called errors without necessarily questioning the overall validity of the RT-PCR test as a means to detecting
the alleged spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The PCR Test Does Not Detect the Identity of the Virus The RT-PCR test does not identify/detect the virus. What the PCR test identifies are genetic
fragments of numerous viruses (including influenza viruses types A and B and coronaviruses which trigger common colds).
The results of the RT-PCR test cannot “confirm” whether an individual who undertakes the test is infected with SARS-CoV-2.
Failures of the PCR Test, Ridiculously Low Numbers
Even if the 2019 nCoV had been detected and duly identified, the numbers of PCR-RT confirmed (cumulative) positive cases in the period leading up to to March 11, 2020 used as a justification to enforce the Lockdown of more than 190 countries were ridiculously low. The 80,981 cases for China also pertains to confirmed (cumulative) PCR positive cases. Note the new cases in China (PCR positive) on March 12, 2020 are of the order of “321 new”

The WHO Confirms that the Covid-19 PCR Test is Flawed: Estimates of “Positive Cases” are Meaningless. The Lockdown Has No Scientific Basis By Prof Michel Chossudovsky, December 10, 2023 There Never Was a “New Corona Virus”, There Never Was a Pandemic, By Prof Michel Chossudovsky, November 03, 2024
The WHO on January 13, 2021, acknowledged that the PCR test was invalid. The official text of the WHO entitled “Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) Technologies that Use Polymerase Chain
Reaction (PCR) for Detection of SARS-CoV-2? is featured in the Annex below.
The WHO’s Mea Culpa by Michel Chossudovsky
WHO guidance Diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2 states that careful interpretation of weak positive results is needed (1). The cycle threshold (Ct) needed to detect virus is inversely
proportional to the patient’s viral load. Where test results do not correspond with the clinical presentation, a new specimen should be taken and retested using the same or different NAT
technology. (emphasis added) WHO reminds IVD users that disease prevalence alters the predictive value of test results; as
disease prevalence decreases, the risk of false positive increases (2). This means that the probability that a person who has a positive result (SARS-CoV-2 detected) is truly infected with
SARS-CoV-2 decreases as prevalence decreases, irrespective of the claimed specificity.”
“Invalid Positives” is the Underlying Concept
This is not an issue of “Weak Positives” and “Risk of False Positive Increases”. What is at stake is a “Flawed Methodology” which leads to invalid estimates.
What this admission of the WHO confirms is that the estimate of covid positive from a PCR test (with an amplification threshold of 35 cycles or higher) is invalid. In which case, the WHO recommends retesting: “a new specimen should be taken and retested…”.
The WHO calls for “Retesting”, which is tantamount to “We Screwed Up”.
That recommendation is pro-forma. It won’t happen. Millions of people Worldwide have already been tested, starting in early February 2020. Nonetheless, we must conclude that unless
retested, those estimates (according to the WHO) are invalid.
From the outset, the PCR test has routinely been applied at a Ct amplification threshold of 35 or higher, following the January 2020 recommendations of the WHO. What this means is that
the PCR methodology as applied Worldwide has led to the compilation of faulty and misleading Covid statistics.
And these are the statistics which are used to measure the progression of the so-called “pandemic”. Above an amplification cycle of 35 or higher, the test will not detect fragments
of the virus. Therefore, the official “covid numbers” are meaningless.
It follows that there is no scientific basis for confirming the existence of a pandemic. Which in turn means that the lockdown / economic measures which have resulted in social panic, mass poverty and unemployment (allegedly to curtail the spread of the virus) have no
justification whatsoever.
According to scientific opinion: “if someone is tested by PCR as positive when a threshold of 35 cycles or higher is used (as is
the case in most laboratories in Europe & the US), the probability that said person is actually infected is less than 3%, the probability that said result is a false positive is 97% (Pieter Borger, Bobby Rajesh Malhotra, Michael Yeadon, Clare Craig, Kevin McKernan, et al, Critique of Drosten Study)
As outlined above, “the probability that said result is a false positive is 97%”: It follows that using the >35 cycles detection will indelibly contribute to “hiking up” the number of “fake positives”.
At the time of writing (mid-March 2021), despite the WHO retraction, the PCR test is being used extensively to hike up the numbers with a view to sustaining the fear campaign, justifying the
ongoing lockdown policies as well as the implementation of the Covid vaccine.
Ironically, the flawed numbers based on “invalid positives” are in turn being manipulated to ensure an upward trend in so-called “Confirmed Covid -19 Cases”.
Moreover, those PCR tests are not routinely accompanied by a medical diagnosis of the patients who are being tested.
And now, national health authorities have issued (fake) warnings of a “Third Wave” as part of their propaganda campaign in support of the Covid-19 Vaccine.
The WHO confirms that the Covid PCR test procedure as applied is invalid. There is absolutely no scientific basis for implementing the Covid Vaccine.
Both the WHO and the scientific assessment of Pieter Borger, et al (quoted above) confirm unequivocally that the tests adopted by governments to justify the lockdown and the destabilization of national economies are INVALID.
Invalid Data and the Numbers’ Game
It should be understood that these “invalid estimates” are the “numbers” quoted relentlessly 24/7 by the media which have been used to feed the fear campaign and “justify” ALL the policies put forth by the governments:
? lockdown,
? closure of economic activity,
? poverty and mass unemployment,
? bankruptcies
? social distancing,
? face mask,
? curfew,
? the vaccine.
? the health passport

Non-Enforcement of Pharmaceutical Law Revealed Intent to Harm

Non-Enforcement of Pharmaceutical Law Revealed Intent to Harm  By Sasha Latypova, 11 January 2024

Editor’s note: Several graphics are not shown in the text below.  To view these click on the link above to view the PDF file.

In early 2020, I grew increasingly alarmed by the government’s nonsensical and counterproductive actions marketed as “covid response”.  The realization that something truly fraudulent was occurring came to me around spring-summer of 2020 when the suppression of hydroxychloroquine and other early effective covid treatments by the government became obvious.

The HHS (CDC & FDA) went on massive social media campaigns demonizing generic drugs such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, calling them “fish tank cleaner” and “horse dewormer” – which was simply shocking to me as I have never witnessed the health authorities lying so openly and brazenly. The CDC’s own research, published in 2005, concluded, “Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread”[1]. The U.S. had stockpiled hydroxychloroquine for exactly this sort of emergency.

The HHS and state agencies and their “fixers” in academia and mass media were promoting outright lies about this well-characterized generic medicine with a long history of safe use.  A turning point for me was when a study by a US tech company called Surgisphere[2] claiming to have collected all data for all covid patients at the time (tens of thousands in all countries of the world) was published in Lancet claiming that hydroxychloroquine caused numerous cases of lethal arrhythmia. The group claimed to have compiled an enormous dataset from all over the world in a matter of weeks!  Sure enough, in about 14 days Lancet retracted the study as it was fraudulent, and no such dataset ever existed. But by then the mainstream media ran the fake headlines which were never retracted. I decided to investigate the data for myself, and turned to the only dataset that was available to me – Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)[3].

Vaccines in general are regulated as pharmaceutical products, meaning that they have a requirement to comply with the current Good Manufacturing Practices[4] – a set of regulatory laws governing quality control, safety, and accurate labeling of pharmaceuticals.  A consumer or a healthcare provider usually cannot detect (through smell, touch, or sight) whether a drug product is safe or if it will work, and therefore safety testing and assurance processes are needed.  This formal system of controls at a pharmaceutical company, if adequately put into practice, helps to prevent instances of contamination, mix-ups, deviations, failures, and errors. More importantly, if the process of manufacture of a substance cannot be assured, that substance cannot exist as a pharmaceutical – reliable, predictable, and controllable by precise dosage. If a company is not complying with cGMP regulations, any drug it makes is considered “adulterated” under the law – a de facto potential poison, whether purposeful or accidental. Most product recalls are voluntary by the manufacturers; however, the FDA has power to enforce cGMP compliance and force recalls, product seizure and a variety of other regulatory actions to ensure compliance.

I needed a historic comparator, and I decided to study the patterns of VAERS data for Covid 19 injections in comparison to the historical flu vaccines from a variety of manufacturers. I compared the covid injections to flu vaccines in terms of the total numbers of serious adverse events and deaths and, in addition, looked at how many we reported per each lot number.  It was an important question, as from my experience in the pharma industry, this analysis would be an important indicator of manufacturing quality control.  I later met and collaborated with a group of citizen analysts around this topic, including Dr. Mike Yeadon, a former senior R&D executive from Pfizer and some of the earliest, and Craig Paardekooper, a British pharmacy student.  Craig made many analytical discoveries in VAERS lot data and started the “How Bad is Your Batch” website dedicated to this issue[5].  The website became an invaluable resource for all questions related to injection batches and by the end of 2022 received over 100 million visitors from all over the world.  We called our group “Team Enigma” in honor of the analysts that cracked the Nazi code during World War II.  I started video recording presentations of our data and posting them on alternative media channels as mainstream social media was in full-on suppression mode.[6]

I queried VAERS data many times over 2021-2022 using historical data from seasonal flu vaccines lot-to-lot as a comparator.  Right away it was obvious that the difference was astounding: covid injections had 15-41 times more serious adverse events and 40-152 times more deaths per lot.  Even more troubling was the incredibly high lot-to-lot variation for covid shots compared to the flu vaccines, even after adjusting for the lot sizes in doses. It is expected that for a product manufactured in compliance with the cGMP all manufacturing lots will have very similar rates of adverse events, very close to zero, and that held largely true for the flu vaccine data.  In contrast, the covid shots varied roughly 1000% lot-to-lot.  Some lots had very few reports, and some had 5000-6000 reports, including 1,000-2,000 serious reports and hundreds of deaths.  The variability was not explained by the sizes of lots, nor by any normal demographic data adjustments such as age or gender of the recipients. It was clear that the manufacture was recklessly uncontrolled. When a pharmaceutical product is made without adherence to the manufacturing quality regulations, any product thus produced is a potential poison, and is deemed as such by law – a de-facto adulterated product[7].

Over time direct evidence of non-compliance with cGMP became available, validating my earlier conclusions.  Evidence included the European Medicines Agency (EMA) “rolling review” of Pfizer’s Chemistry and Manufacturing Controls (CMC) documentation. The discussions around this issue are recorded in numerous documents that were leaked from EMA at the end of November 2020, including email exchanges between EMA staff and management. Authenticity of the documents and emails was independently verified by the British Medical Journal.[8]

The EMA reviewers noted lack of cGMP compliance as “Major Objection #1,” in addition to more than 100 additional Major Objections and Critical Observations. Yet, all regulatory objections were disregarded, and the product went on the market in Europe and worldwide shortly after. 

Despite obvious safety signals including Pfizer’s own pharmacovigilance report showing 1200+ deaths[9] within first 2 month of mass vaccinations, thousands of death reports in VAERS, and millions of reported injuries in other government tracked databases like V-Safe[10], there were no recalls or investigations by the manufacturers or health agencies.  Not a single health official “noticed” it, and furthermore, when questioned, mounted a wall of denial in response.     

Historically, a handful of reports of deaths associated with the use of the product is all that’s needed to initiate a pharmacovigilance action – a recall of a batch of product, investigation, or an entire product recall – all these measures are available and have been successfully used in a variety of product contamination and adulteration cases[11].  After thousands of deaths are recorded with the use of a product and no action is taken by anyone – manufacturer, regulators or law enforcement authorities, the situation should be considered intentional. The flat refusal to acknowledge deaths and injuries by the government officials and pharma companies signaled the intent.  The intent to harm.

The “Pseudo-Laws”: EUA Countermeasures Under Public Health Emergency.

In mid-2022 I ran across a brilliant analysis titled “American Domestic Bioterrorism” posted online by my now friend and colleague Katherine Watt, a paralegal and an independent journalist researching US law history.[1]  Her writing provided the critical piece of the puzzle I was looking for: it explained how the criminal cartel, including actors in the US government, military, and private companies “legalized” and implemented the covid atrocity. 

Katherine found a crucial provision in US law: 21 USC 360bbb-3(k) which stated that use of EUA-covered medical countermeasure (MCM) products including masks, diagnostic tests, bioagent injections, and other drugs, devices and biologics, once so classified by the HHS Secretary and his/her delegees, “shall not be considered to constitute a clinical investigation.”

This provision and the entire structure of the EUA Countermeasures law uncovered by Katherine revealed how the US Government systematically removed all consumer safeguards for the products designated as military “countermeasures” under contrived, arbitrary, self-proclaimed conditions of “public health emergency”, and then lied to the public pretending that these were properly approved safe and effective pharmaceuticals. 

Under federal law, FDA must approve any new drug product prior to a manufacturer introducing it into interstate commerce.[2]  This process requires manufacturer to open an Investigational New Drug (IND) application and obtain an exemption from the FDA for its use in regulated clinical research (trials).  This regulated process is therefore referred to as an “investigational” regulatory pathway.  It requires a manufacturer to conduct regulated clinical research (trials) under the IND, obtaining Institutional Review Board’s (IRB) approval for clinical trial protocols, independent safety monitoring oversight, and informed consent from clinical trial volunteers.  In addition, manufacture of the drugs and biologics subject to the investigational status is regulated by the current Good Manufacturing practices (cGMP)[3]

EUA Medical Countermeasures are a radically different, non-investigational drugs, biologics and devices deployed under FDA’s authorization power known as the “Emergency Use Authorization” (EUA) process[4].    The EUA process is used only when the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services declares an emergency[5] and the EUA law covers only instances of an attack with a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) agent(s).  The EUA law does not anticipate issuing EUAs for products to treat or prevent viral or bacterial outbreaks.

By law, the EUA process is non-investigational[6]: while the manufacturers may choose and FDA may ask to undertake some of the activities typically expected from an investigational clinical trial and manufacturing validation process, none of the typical regulatory standards are applicable in an enforceable way. 

FDA has the discretion to issue an EUA if the applicant shows, or HHS Secretary thinks that its product “may be effective” in treating the relevant disease or condition[7].   No other criteria for approval apply in an enforceable way.   Thus, the FDA will approve EUA products on incomplete information so long as the applicant shows that the “known and potential benefit of the product” merely “outweigh[s] the known and potential risks”[8] and considers it unlikely that “comprehensive effectiveness data” will be available before an EUA grant. 

In contrast, for an investigational drug (under normal regulatory approval process) the FDA “shall” deny approval if the applicant “do[es] not show that such drug is safe.”[9] 

Therefore, the EUA status of an MCM precludes collection of the regulated clinical trial data and thus precludes reliable, valid scientific knowledge of risks and benefits associated with the EUA Countermeasure while it remains non-investigational.

There is no strict requirement for an investigational new drug regulation (IND), nor institutional review board (IRB) approval of a clinical trial protocol and no informed consent. This fact was revealed in an FDA Vaccines and Related Biologicals Advisory Committee meeting on October 22, 2020, where Doran Fink answered questions on behalf of the Operation Warp Speed[10].  When asked whether the vaccines under OWS were going to use Expanded Access Use (an investigational pharmaceutical pathway to approval), his answer was clear – they were not, because an investigational pathway required informed consent, something that would pose “operational complexity” for mRNA shots. Here is his exact statement from available transcript: “The differences between expanded access use and Emergency Use Authorization are that expanded access use is done — or is carried out under FDA’s investigational new drug regulations. So among many other things, those regulations require use of an institutional review board and also obtaining informed consent from recipients of the investigational vaccine according to regulations for clinical investigations — research use of investigational vaccines. And so operationally speaking, an expanded access protocol would add some complexity, and that is why Emergency Use Authorization is being considered primarily as the mechanism for addressing the public health emergency that has been declared.”

In fact, the EUA process precludes meaningful informed consent from the recipients of the product altogether.  Congress mandated that FDA directly inform health care professionals and product recipients of any “significant known and potential benefits and risks.”[11]  However, given that formal regulated clinical trials are neither required nor possible for a non-investigational EUA product, there is no effective way to collect and collate reliable and scientifically valid information on risks and benefits of an EUA, thus making the informed consent mandated by Congress meaningless and unobtainable. 

Furthermore, there are no required standards for quality-control in manufacturing; no inspections of manufacturing procedures; no lot-release testing and no prohibition on wide variability among lots; no prohibition on adulteration; and no required compliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practices. EUA products, even though unregulated and non-standardized, “shall not be deemed adulterated or misbranded.”[12] 

Thus, I was able to confirm that covid countermeasures are exempt from normal regulations and consumer protections that apply to medical products: 

  • To the extent that “use” of Covid-19 products “shall not constitute clinical investigation,” use of such products is authorized even if there is no safety or efficacy data, even if such products are toxic and ineffective. 
  • Investigators, researchers, physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other individuals involved in product dispensing, use, or administration to human beings apparently have no legal obligations to comply with laws and regulations that applied previously to use of experimental, investigational, unapproved or approved biological products or devices, including compliance with informed consent laws, medical monitoring of recipients during product use and post-administration monitoring and reporting of adverse effects.
  • Recipients of such products are not legally recognized as experimental subjects or patients receiving experimental, authorized, or approved products, because “use” of the products “shall not constitute clinical investigation.” There is no stopping condition, because there is no legally relevant “clinical investigation” to be stopped.
  • On the basis of a self-declared “public health emergency” and self-declared classification of products as “emergency use medical countermeasures,” including an unreviewable determination as to the relative risks posed by a communicable pathogen as compared to “medical countermeasure” products, the Secretary of Health and Human Services can suspend informed consent obligations and rights, on behalf of the entire American population.
  • “Vaccinators” are thereby authorized by the HHS Secretary to withhold information about product ingredients; vial contents; potential individual risks and benefits based on individual health conditions; treatment alternatives; and the option to accept or refuse the products.

The FDA and other governments’ drug regulatory agencies have not withdrawn authorizations or approvals of the covid countermeasures, despite millions of documented injuries and deaths during the initial deployment phase, because the products are not legally recognized as medicines.  Instead, they are weapons, biological and chemical and psychological/informational weapons of mass destruction presented to the public under the guise of “public health”.

The “Theater” of a Military Operation

While misrepresenting the covid illness as a “zoonotic viral respiratory infection”, from early 2020 the US Government organized itself for an act of war.  Specifically, on March 13, 2020: “PanCAP Adapted U.S. Government COVID-19 Response Plan” (PanCAP-A) stated that United States policy in response to SARS-CoV-2 was set not by the public health agencies designated in pandemic preparedness protocols (Pandemic and All Hazards Preparedness Act,[13] PPD-44,[14] BIA), but rather by the National Security Council (NSC).  NSC does not have regular attendees from public health agencies and its focus is national security, intelligence and foreign policy matters. 

While the Operation Warp Speed[15] was presented to the public as a “collaborative” “all of government” effort of the DOD and HHS, the DOD was formally the Chief Operating Officer (general Gustave Perna was named as the COO), while HHS had only the Chief Science Advisor position.[16]

 

Notably, the next senior most layer of the organization was controlled by the US Government while the pharmaceutical companies were the third level down in this organization.  The unclassified October 2020 documents from Operation Warp Speed presentations at the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee revealed control of the US Government over nearly all product design and implementation aspects of the development and clinical trials for Covid countermeasures.  

On 5 March 2020, the U.S. Army’s Brigadier General Michael J. Talley announced at a press briefing that the DoD would lead a “whole of government approach” as part of its medical countermeasures response to protect “the citizens of the world”.

 

US has separate branches of government and separate federal agencies for many reasons. Importantly, this was envisioned by the framers as a system where federal agencies’ authorities are limited, and where different branches of government serve as checks or limits to each other. All those reasons apparently could be disregarded in an instant, under a manufactured “emergency”.

At the time of the OWS announcement I thought it was odd that there was a need to bring DOD into this activity at all. What do they know about making drugs? What do they know about pharmacy distribution chain in the US (which is fast, traceable, regulated by the states, very experienced, and is already established everywhere)? I later learned about the real role of the DOD in the “covid” exercise.

Debbie Lerman, a journalist writing for Brownstone Institute[1], revealed that one of the main reasons this “partnering” between HHS and DOD was the use of Other Transaction Authority (OTA). The OTA method of contracting allows federal agencies to order otherwise-regulated products bypassing any such regulations, as well as financial accountability mechanisms that cover standard government contracting, and other laws that regulate disclosure and Intellectual Property (IP) derived from publicly funded research.[2]  Quite reasonably, different federal agencies have different scope of the OTAs. The scope of HHS’s OTA did not permit manufacturing pharmaceuticals at scale, especially not before satisfying regulatory requirements for safety.  OTA was written and codified as a way for the military to acquire weapons and other necessary equipment without a lot of bureaucratic red tape. It covers research and development, prototypes, and subsequent manufacturing. The only OTA for a public health agency is for the HHS and it only covers Research & Development, not prototypes or manufacturing.

Even the R&D OTA given to the HHS still requires products to be manufactured “in a form that satisfies the regulatory requirements” for drug and vaccine safety. There was no way HHS could have used its very limited OTA to sign contracts for hundreds of millions of novel medical products.

So, what did HHS do?

Acting as separate federal agencies within the limits of their authorities, neither HHS nor DOD would have been able to order 100 million doses of unapproved, untested, previously thoroughly failed “vaccine”. They “partnered” to break the constraints of their authorities.

Another very useful insight on EUA Countermeasures law was that the utilization of EUA in this “partnering” scheme is evidence that the relevant US Government officials never believed covid was a naturally occurring viral pandemic. They knew it was a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) agent or combination of such agents. That is because the EUA law does not include naturally occurring viral outbreaks. The fact that the senior government executives lied about the “wet market zoonotic jump”, utilizing massive network of DHS and intelligence contractors to censor any social media mention to the contrary, prosecuting and smearing any credentialed person who pointed to the holes in their narrative, performing endless clown-show Congressional hearings about whether it was a zoonotic jump or a Wuhan leak, and currently continue to pretend covid was a viral pandemic only points to one thing – this attack being perpetuated by those who lie and cover it up, i.e. the US Government officials themselves.

In essence, the covid response used the pretext of a possible ‘biological attack’ to justify pre-planned “rapid response partnerships” between government and biodefense contractors in industry and academia to facilitate the international deployment of emergency medical countermeasures (MCMs), allegedly to protect American civilians and “the citizens of the world”.

A leaked audio recording from an executive meeting at AstraZeneca from December 2020 became available[3].  The speakers included the CEO, Pascal Soirot and a Vice President responsible for the monoclonal antibody program, Mark Esser.  Esser stated that the relationship between AstraZeneca and DOD started in 2017, when DOD approached the company with a proposal to rapidly (within 60 days!) develop countermeasures to novel viruses “identified” by the DOD.  Esser stated that he had thought the idea was “more science fiction than science” at the time, but the company went along with it.  Of course, the company wanted the DOD grants, and thus the pharmaceutical professionals reasonably questioning the unheard-of recklessness in product development were quickly silenced.  Esser further stated that AstraZeneca and other members of the consortium received a phone call from the DOD on Feb 4, 2020, notifying them that covid was classified as a “national security threat” – a vague designation, with no hard definitions in law which is used by the military-intelligence apparatus to justify exceeding their authorities and violating real laws. 

The military-pharma consortium that had made the investments into MCMs as early as 2017 was looking to cash in on their investments via a faked public crisis, a pandemic that had nothing to do with zoonotic viruses, but rather a false-flag attack with a non-lethal CBRN agent, followed by the government “public health measures” and “countermeasures” – mass unvalidated PCR testing, covid hospital murder protocols, lockdowns, then toxic shots. 

At the same DOD press conference on March 5, 2020, Army Col. Wendy Sammons-Jackson, director of USAMRDC’s Military Infectious Disease Research Program stated that her group had received the pathogen and was growing and culturing the stock of it.  At the time of this conference, there were practically no cases of covid in the US (fewer than 20) and no deaths.  Why was the army making “more pathogen for stock”?  This was justified to the public as necessary for making “countermeasures”, however the DOD was producing a much larger quantity of what they were calling the “virus” vs the actual virus or toxin that was circulating in the US – orders of magnitude more! 

 

The cases and deaths began increasing after the DOD obtaining and making the stock of the pathogen, and after the lockdowns were announced on March 16, 2020.  The “pandemic” was the result of the DOD and US Government activity, not a response to a natural event:

 

Hundreds of Covid countermeasures contracts became available via FOIA and SEC disclosures in redacted form.[1]  These contracts allocated billions of dollars via DOD and Assistant Secretary of Pandemic Preparedness and Response at BARDA (Robert Kadlec under Trump Admin) to hundreds of companies – pharma, medical device, diagnostics, distribution, services and censorship/propaganda activities to maintain the fear, misery and isolation among the public so that they would view the covid vaccines as the only way back to “normal”.

 

These contracts specified the scope of deliverables as “demonstrations” and “prototypes” only.  The contracts included the removal of all liability for the manufacturers and any contractors along the supply and distribution chain under the 2005 PREP Act and related federal legislation.

The contracts described covid countermeasures as intended for “civil and military application.”

The true nature of DOD’s involvement in the development and deployment of the injections was initially revealed publicly when Pfizer was forced to produce their DOD contract for “vaccine” in a motion to dismiss the whistleblower Brook Jackson v Ventavia case under False Claims Act in April 2022[1].

Pfizer’s motion boiled down to the plea of “we did not defraud the Government. We delivered the fraud that the Government ordered!”  While morally abhorrent, the motion was legalistically correct: it was the Pentagon who ordered undisclosed “countermeasures” and “large scale manufacturing demonstrations” from pharma companies using the OTA/Defense Production contracting method.  Besides numerous other problems with this, the word “demonstration” itself has an important meaning – it means a fake, something that is not real and is designed to fool the willing or unwilling target.

The Bait and Switch: Removal of the Pharmaceutical Consumer Safeguards for Covid Countermeasures

The officials lied about “FDA approved” status of Covid-19 injections. That lie enabled them to use the PREP Act liability shield since the actual distributed and injected substance was the Emergency Use (EUA) version of the product.  At the same time, they were forcing vaccination mandates (impossible with experimental substances), by claiming that the two versions were “the same but legally distinct”. The details of the scam became available via the declaration by Peter Marks, Director of CBER at FDA. This declaration was filed in the court case where servicemembers were suing Secretary of Defense and the DOD for covid vaccination mandates.

Marks confirmed that the single criterion for EUA countermeasures was “maybe effective” decision of the HHS Secretary alone.  He further stated that the FDA decided the EUA version must remain in circulation along with the “approved” version (which was never shipped in the US according to the shipping data made available by FOIA).  This was an unprecedented move – EUA and fully licensed versions of the same product cannot not co-exist.  This is because the key condition for an EUA is absence of an approved product for a severe, life threatening “emergency”.  Yet, Pfizer had shipped billions of doses of Comirnaty outside of the US, and yet for some mysterious reason – not in the US.  It was never “available”, except a tiny amount of 35,000 Comirnaty-[falsely]labeled doses that appeared in the US in August 2022 to maintain the pretense of availability.  

Marks further explained that the BLA manufacturing sites have lot-release requirements, while the EUA ones do not.  The lot release requirement is critical for assuring product quality, purity, stability, conformity to the label and other critical consumer safety parameters.  Then he asserted that both BLA and EUA sites must adhere to the cGMP requirements but forgot to mention that for EUA manufacturing there is no way to verify or enforce the cGMP requirement.  No enforcement means there is no real requirement.

Marks’s next statement was a breathtaking somersault – on the basis that maybe the same manufacturing facilities are used to make the non-existent-in-US BLA product (Comirnaty) as well as the EUA version, the FDA decided that lying to the people by withholding the information that the product they are receiving is EUA and thus cannot be forced on them was totally ok.  This was communicated to all vaccinators in the United States.  In this stunningly deceitful move, the FDA re-wrote the US law, exercising an authority that it never possessed. It is not legal for a pharmaceutical manufacturer to ship a drug labeled XYZ from the facilities that are authorized by the FDA to produce ABC and not XYZ.  Simply claiming that they are “the same” does not solve this issue.  Yet, the head of the Biologics division has instructed the healthcare providers to participate in this lie.

The covid “pandemic” and the “response”– the “public health” measures and the Operation Warp Speed – all of it was theater: lethal falsehoods wrapped into a veneer of on-paper-legal activities designed to fool the public into believing that the usurpation of government by “science experts” and removal of the human rights was justified by the Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC, pronounced “fake”), and that the poisonous weaponized bio-chemical injections were “safe and effective vaccines”.  The injections marketed as vaccines were bioagents deployed by actors within the US Government and pharmaceutical/bioweapons industry, intended to injure and kill American people as targets, and exported to other countries’ governments to injure and kill their people.  All while reaping extraordinary profits and power from DOD/USG financial stakes in the MCM industry, and subversion of the Constitutional lawful governance and separation of powers under contrived, faked, state of emergency.

New Dutch health minister admits Covid is a military operation

Dutch Minister of Health Acknowledges that The Pandemic Policy is a Military Operation. “The Ministry of Health Obeys NATO and NCTV”

New Dutch health minister admits: “We must follow NATO, US and NCTV orders; Covid is a military operation”

By Outraged Human

Global Research, November 08, 2024

Dutch Health Minister Fleur Agema has acknowledged in parliament that the Dutch pandemic policy is taking place “under the direction of National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism (NCTV) and Defense” and must comply with “NATO obligations”. In doing so, she confirmed what researchers such as Cees van den Bos previously revealed on the basis of Wob documents: the corona policy was a “coup d’état” by the NCTV. Family doctor Els van Veen says she finally understands what happened to her, and other critical doctors, during the corona crisis: “It was a military operation, the Minister of Health obeys NATO and NCTV”.

On Thursday 24 October, Fleur Agema had a first: she was the very first health minister in parliamentary history to explain her actions by “NATO obligations.” And not once, but six times, as Member of Parliament Pepijn van Houwelingen (FVD) did. A three-minute video, in which Agema tells the Chamber that pandemic preparedness is related to treaty obligations and that the intelligence service NCTV is in charge, went viral on X. Van Houwelingen immediately promised to answer Chamber questions.

Agema made her remarks during a debate on “resilience.” She said the Netherlands must be prepared for any kind of disaster, such as “hybrid threats, military threats, natural disasters or a new pandemic.” A “substantial strengthening” of the country’s resilience is needed, she said, adding:

“Under the direction of the NCTV and the Ministry of Defense, we will come up with a plan of action in the spring.”

She said shortly after taking over as minister that she had been briefed on resilience and the Nato commitments:

“Since that briefing, I have been with my ministry taking stock of what we need to meet those Nato commitments. We are doing that under the leadership of the NCTV. A number of ministries are involved in this. I have asked if there is an overlap between pandemic preparedness and resilience of care and there is. She added: “You want to have the same tools as we would have had in relation to the corona crisis.”

One of the first to comment on Agema’s appearance on X was Woo researcher Cees van den Bos. Under the heading “the coup d’etat,” he characterized the NCTV as a “bamiluk” of NATO:

“This country will only be free if the NCTV is completely abolished and these kinds of shadow governments never get a foothold again. This is the biggest obstacle that stands in the way of a democracy,” he said.

He added that there is no control over the NCTV:

“The NCTV has carte blanche, as has been shown during corona.”

According to Van den Bos, people who think corona is over (“let’s stop talking about it”) are waiting for another hard “reality check.” He thanked Agema for her “candor.”

Van den Bos previously pointed out – also in this newspaper – that the NCTV was in charge during the coronavirus crisis, in the person of Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg, who had succeeded Dick Schoof as NCTV boss in early 2019. At the end of 2022, Van den Bos accused the NCTV of having committed a “coup d’etat.” The crisis management was almost everywhere in the hands of the military and intelligence services, and in our country it rested with the NCTV. In addition to the day-to-day management of the crisis organization, the NCTV even counted it as its task to coordinate the parliamentary process (“timing and mutual congruence”). The intelligence service set up a separate team for this, according to a report from mid-March 2020. Commenting on the parliamentary vote, it said: “Ambition and agreement are not surprising.” It was likely intended to prevent unexpected motions or amendments to new legislation.

In early 2023, journalist Elze van den Hamelen described NATO’s role in this newspaper, based on investigative work by Van den Bos: “The documents show that since at least 2019, more than a year before the coronavirus pandemic, the government has set up a large organization to “combat disinformation.” The initiative for this came from NATO and the EU, Van den Bos shows:

“It was a military operation aimed at its own population. Not to turn people off, but to influence their behavior.”

During the coronavirus pandemic, NATO set the guidelines for the covid response and coordinated the “Stratcom” (strategic communications). “The guidelines were circulated through the member states’ foreign ministers.” Does this explain why Sweden, which only joined NATO this year, was the only country in Europe to adopt a more lenient policy during the coronavirus crisis?

Earlier, the leader of Verheid, Willem Engel, had made similar revelations. At his trial in Rotterdam on 22 November 2022, in which he was accused of “sedition,” Engel gave an extensive speech in which he showed how the government has worked to combat critics of the coronavirus policy. According to him, this involved agencies from four ministries: NCTV (Justice), AIVD (Interior), MIVD (Defense) and PCD19 (VWS).

“They formed a crisis team that worked together with other government agencies, such as the OM, mayors, and the judiciary, and with the media,” he reported in De Ander Krant on 27 November 2022. “They are using a military method that amounts to mapping, suppressing and disrupting.”

Critics from the medical world have meanwhile reacted sharply to Agema’s revelation, including medical ethicist Wendy Mittemeijer:

“For the first time in four years, I hear a public admission that the NCTV was in charge during the corona crisis, and that it had to be carried out. It was a military operation. This was not allowed to be said for four years. That was a conspiracy theory. I appreciate the honesty of the minister, that this is being admitted and that he was not in charge.

NATO Exercises Defying Coronavirus Reveal Desperation

General physician Els van Veen experienced the policy to heart: “Almost five years after the beginning of corona, I understand much better what happened,” she reported on October 27th. After this video and this explanation, I actually understand everything. Hence the censorship of critics and especially critical doctors. Hence, the police visit in 2021, ostensibly because of a tweet about tick boxes. Hence letters and an investigation by the Inspectorate, based on anonymous and unfounded reports that I was spreading disinformation. Hence that the government and VWS do not want to release the WOB documents, that they have been black-painted, that minutes of the OMT are guarded as if they were state secrets. The NCTV governs this country, but it does so with a closed eye.”

What she saw several times in the Museumplein, according to her, also fit a military operation: ‘That demonstration was banned, that innocent civilians were crushed by the ME, that police dogs were bitten, that water cannons were used. We were mistreated by the police, by the judiciary and so, I understand now, with the approval of the NCTV and Mr. Aalbersberg. It was a military operation.’

Her post generated some 225,000 views and numerous reactions within two days, including a comment from Stefan Homburg, emeritus professor of public finance at Leibniz Universität Hannover and one of Germany’s leading coronavirus critics. Last July, he spoke, along with journalist Aya Velázquez, at the press conference in Berlin where the leaked data set of the meeting minutes of Germany’s Covid Crisis Team (the “RKI protocols’ named after the Robert Koch Institute, which is similar to our RIVM) was presented. Homburg argues that Van Veen’s post “perfectly matches the German experience: As we discovered in the leaked #RKIFiles, a NATO general (Holtherm) was in command of the so-called “pandemic.”

The news of Agema also fits in with what Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has repeatedly stated about the production of the coronavirus vaccines in the US. According to him, this was a military operation, with close involvement of the US Department of Defense (DOD) and the military-industrial complex. Defense, according to him, was in full charge and paid pharmaceutical companies for their brand names, so people would think they were getting something from Pfizer or Moderna.

German Government Admits There Was No Pandemic

German Government Admits There Was No Pandemic  By Baxter Dmitry, Global Research, 27 July 2024

Introductory Note

What is significant is that the German Health authorities based on official data have now been obliged under Freedom of Information to reveal the devastating nature and impacts of the Covid lockdowns imposed on 190 countries, starting March 11, 2020.

Most of the independent studies including those conducted by Global Research have been the object of censorship.

Of Significance,  the official documents of Germany’s Ministry of Health are consistent with the independent reports published in the course of more than 4 years pertaining to the COVID-19 lockdowns, the mandatory wearing of the face mask, and the experimental mRNA vaccines.

Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research, April 4, 2024

 

***

Huge news out of Germany as the federal government have been forced to admit that so-called “conspiracy theorists” were right about everything during the Covid pandemic.

In fact, according to the German government data, there was no pandemic at all, just a tightly choreographed military grade psy-op to brainwash the masses into accepting an experimental vaccine with disastrous consequences.  

These secret German government documents obtained via a Freedom of Information request and subsequent lawsuit have blown the lid of the global elite’s Covid lies and it’s vitally important that as many people as possible are made aware of the truth.

More and more people all over the world are waking up and seeing the global elite for what they always have been: deranged psychopaths hell bent on destruction and domination.

Germany is no different. The German population suffered some of the most brutal lockdowns and vaccine mandates in all of Europe and now the people are rising up and demanding accountability.

Step forward Paul Schreyer and Multipolar magazine who launched a Freedom of Information request and then launched a lawsuit against the German government when they tried every trick in the book to keep the secret documents under lock and key.

As Professor Steven Homburg explains, the results are stunning, and represent total vindication for everyone who dared to question the narrative of lockdowns and mask and vaccine mandates.

The secret government documents – all 2,000 pages of them – reveal that we were right about nearly everything and the so-called “pandemic” was all fraud.

These facts are damning and prove the official narrative about Covid, pushed by world governments and mainstream media, is completely bogus.

Which makes the tyranny we experienced during the so-called pandemic even harder to swallow, as Professor Homburg explains.

The data also reveals that Sweden, which was the only European country free of masks and lockdowns, performed much better than Germany. Which raises the question, what were the tyrannical lockdowns and mandates really about?

Professor Homburg has the answer – and as it turns out, we were right all along.

Breaking down vaccine hesitancy through brutal lockdowns was always the goal of the global elite. Unfortunately, for those who did not see through the psy-op at the time, the health consequences are dire. Serious questions must be asked.

Unfortunately for the vaxxed, the bad news doesn’t end there. Japanese researchers have linked Covid vaccines to hundreds of diseases.

While a new study out of the US has found that those who have been vaccinated and boosted can expect to meet their maker far sooner than they would have expected.

A disturbing new study has revealed that people who have been “fully vaccinated” with Covid mRNA injections can expect to lose a staggering 25 years from their life expectancy.

Researchers analyzed data from the CDC, Cleveland Clinic Data, and insurance company risk assessment data and uncovered a disturbing trend of plummeting life expediencies among those who had multiple doses of mRNA.

Unfortunately for the vaxxed, the news gets even worse. The chronic damage to health caused by each dose of mRNA does not lessen over time, as previously believed.

In reality, the negative health effects appear to continue indefinitely.

According to the researchers, CDC All-Cause Mortality data reveals that each jab increased mortality by 7% in the year 2022 compared to the mortality in 2021.

This means that people who have had 5 doses – that’s two doses and three boosters – were 35% more likely to die in 2022 than they were in 2021.

Correlating with the German information, the study also confirmed that people who are not vaccinated were no more likely to die in 2022 than in 2021.

These numbers are damning. But anybody paying attention can see that something is very wrong with the vaccinated. They are dropping like flies with heart problems and turbo cancer all over the world.

Professional athletes are supposed to be among the healthiest people on the planet but in the past few years thousands have collapsed with sudden and inexplicable heart conditions.

Fully vaccinated professional athletes are continuing to drop like flies, with four professional soccer players have collapsed suddenly, clutching their hearts, in the last week alone.

Egyptian star Ahmed Refeat became the third professional soccer play to suffer cardiac arrest in front of live TV cameras, with doctors later admitting they “hadn’t seen something like this before.”

Orlando Pirates midfielder Makhelene Makhaula was the second football star to collapse on the field this week, as medical staff were seen desperately attempting to revive the South African star.

Listen as the stunned announcer admits, in his own words, that footballers are dropping like flies all over the world since the vaccine roll out.

On Sunday in the Argentinian top flight, Estudiantes’ Javier Altamirano suffered a seizure and collapsed suddenly in the big match against Boca Juniors, one of the biggest clubs in South America.

It’s not just professional athletes dropping like flies. People from all walks of life, including popular social media influencers, are being struck down with heart conditions and rare forms of cancer at unprecedented rates.

An ethical media would be highlighting these incidents on the front pages, putting their resources into investigating why so many young and healthy people are suffering from cardiac arrests, strokes, and rare forms of cancer.

Instead, the media is attempting to normalize the phenomenon and convince you that professional athletes and young people having heart attacks is par for the course.

However, anybody capable of independent thought understands this situation is far from normal.

Government & Media Pretending Massive Health Crisis Not Going On

Government ^0 Media Pretending Massive Health Crisis Not Going On  By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com 14 April 2024

Former Wall Street money manager Ed Dowd is still a skillful number cruncher.  His recently updated and wildly popular book “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021, 2022 and 2023” has been correctly documenting the huge numbers of deaths and injuries caused by the CV19 bioweapon vax.  Many are waking up to this crime against humanity, but many remain in the dark because the government and Lying Legacy Media (LLM) continue to cover up the worst murder and disability fraud in world history.  Dowd says, “At this point, it’s overwhelming and has become almost comical. . . . This is asymmetric information.  So, we have governments and media continuing to pretend a massive health crisis with chronic illness, deaths and disabilities is not going on.  The data would suggest otherwise. . . . The data we have made public is free, but some people want projections and decision-making ideas.  These are things we might end up starting a business from.  I would have never thought we could.  This is what asymmetric information does, and the government and the media are suppressing this information.”

A quick look at the overall casualties from the CV19 vax reveal an unparalleled medical disaster.  Dowd explains, “I went before Senator Ron Johnson in February to talk about the ‘pandemic scorecard,’ which is abysmal.  Ever since the CV19 vaccine came on, we have had 1.1 million Americans die excessively, 4 million permanently disabled and another 28 million injured.  It’s 33 million people who have been negatively affected now.  The question you have to ask is why are these institutions not screaming from the rooftops?  I think the reason why is, it’s all because of the (deadly) vaccine.  It’s all circular, and I think it’s a joke at this point.”

Is the worst over?  The short answer from Dowd is No.  Dowd contends, “Let’s just look at the disability data.  We surged to a new high in June of 2023.  We have not gone to a new high since.  It kind of backfilled a little bit, but the last two months we have seen back-to-back increases.  This is a called a plateauing effect.  If it was all clear, I would like to see that number come down.  Unfortunately, it’s not.  It can start to go back down, or it can have another consolidation and another spurt upward.  The bad news is it is plateauing at a new high level.  The good news is it has not gone up to a new level, but if it does, we have problems.”

One big problem Dowd has spotted is an explosion of cancers and, yes, you cannot get the truth about this either.  Dowd says, “The fact that people will not even say that cancers are on the rise is pretty comical to me.  Doctors were reporting it anecdotally, and now we have the data to prove it.  This is where we are.  In 2022, I said that ‘60,000 millennials died excessively between March of 2021 and February of 2022.  That was a Vietnam War.’  That tweet went viral, and Reuters and AP fact checked me and said no, our experts say that’s not true.  Now, even the establishment is saying there is excessive all-cause mortality.  So, we are now in a stage where cancers are not rising.  They are now denying that.  The lies are just unreal.”

There is much more in the 36-minute interview.

How and who pulled off the COVID-19 scamdemic

 

https://www.bitchute.com/video/5DX1ipwGyji9/ 29 February 2024
 
This 34-minute video is from Dr David Martin, the entire story of how and who pulled off the COVID-19 scamdemic: https://www.bitchute.com/video/5DX1ipwGyji9/
 

David E. Martin PhD is the developer of several innovation-based quantitative indices of public equities and founder of the Purple Bridge Funds and M-CAM International. He has worked closely with the United States Congress and numerous trade and financial regulatory agencies in the United States. Dr. Martin is also a Batten Fellow at the University of Virginia’s Darden Graduate School of Business Administration.


Since 1999, Dr. Martin has been actively tracking patent applications and approvals for the purpose of identifying suspicious activity. In the 34-minute video linked above he shares the findings from his research regarding the laboratory development of a pathogenic coronavirus that started in 1999 and released initially upon human populations in the SARS CoV-1 in 2002-2003, then again in MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome in 2012, and then again in SARS CoV-2 which was renamed COVID-19, as shown below with evidence from the primary development lab in Wuhan China.


His research proves that all of these pathogenic variants of the coronavirus were laboratory-developed, man-made bioweapons. And they’ve all been funded by the NIAID under the direction of a self-proclaimed Jesuit, Dr. Anthony Fauci.

They’re Conning You! 

Who are ‘they’? And what are ‘they’ planning? This is the REAL story of our past, present and possibly future.

They’re Conning You! By Peter Senior, Senior Consulting

Note: the book can now be downloaded as a PDF document until the updated version is available: They’re Conning You!

They’re Conning You! is only available on Amazon Kindle because it includes hundreds of vital Internet links that would be far too tiresome to type in from a paper book.

They’re Conning You! presents information that is likely to cause ‘cognitive dissonance’ as it examines in depth a wide range of evidence that demonstrates much of what thought we knew is, in fact, wrong. The subjects discussed cover a wide spectrum from aliens and UFOs to asking where the technologies used to construct ancient structures come from, whether ancient civilisations waged nuclear wars against each other, to financial treason.

‘Consciousness’ is examined, as is what are we made of and how did this come about? Could it be that aliens modified our DNA, which may have come from the outer Cosmos anyway?

We are accustomed to overt and covert PC education, indoctrination and media ‘fake news,’ but do we realise how this is turning us into zombies? Servants of the State? Many scientific bodies, government departments and corporations often distort and lie about what is assumed to be ‘science.’ Even nastier things are being exposed such as paedophilia and Satanism.

Some ‘deep state’ government departments with-hold information that would enable free energy and the consequent massive improvement to most peoples’ lives and countries’ economies in order to protect their secrets as well as the massive oil and associated industries valued at $500 trillion.

There is compelling evidence that US President John F Kennedy was assassinated by covert government people because he planned to share US’ knowledge of aliens and UFOs with Russian President Khrushchev, as well as expose massive corruption.

The book presents frightening information about the two events that changed our world most in the last 55 years: JFK’s assassination and ‘911’, the demolition of the Twin Towers and Tower 7 on 11 September 2001 by covert government-controlled actions.

The subject of who ‘they’ are is discussed in depth, in particular with regard to plans for a New World Order (NWO), and who is orchestrating this.

The US is mimicking the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, whilst Europe is gradually transitioning into a bureaucratic dictatorship. The world’s financial systems are being manipulated for the benefit of their controllers, all underpinned by the ‘deep state’ which has been shown to have syphoned off at least $21 trillion through covert Pentagon misappropriations. Globalisation has expanded trade around the world, but it is now being manipulated by global corporations.

Compelling evidence demonstrates the US and other ‘deep state’ governments have secret space programs that have grown since the first UFO sightings and capture during and shortly after WWII. Imagine what 70 years of ‘reverse engineering’ from captured UFOs would yield, together with alien contact?

Several potential future scenarios are presented with assessments of each. Readers are invited to decide which seems more likely based on what they now know after reading this book and, hopefully, carrying out much more in-depth research.

A review of They’re conning you! by highly-regarded executive journalist Julian Tomlinson, based on 24 years’ experience, notes:
‘This book will appeal to the firm believers in so-called “conspiracy theories” and “conspiracy facts”, as well as those with a curiosity and even the firm non-believers. The author combines painstaking research from innumerable sources and combines bland shreds of information into a compelling narrative. Readers will feel they are sitting there actually talking to the author as he manages to convey a sense of wonder, concern and excitement in every sentence, effortlessly flicking between known pre-history, the Roman period and modern times in a manner that’s easy to follow.
If you are in the “conspiracy camp” this book expertly summarises everything you do know and want to know into one, easy-to-read volume. If you are not in the camp, you’ll at least gain an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of “conspiracies” and why they exist. You may even start to believe. Well worth a look.’

Seven further reviews by Indie Book Reviewers are highly complimentary, and recommend the book should be read by everyone:

  1. This is a powerful, very well-written and highly informative book! I have read several books on different types of hidden ‘truths’ and conspiracy theories… what is really going on in our world and what the future might hold, and sometimes I get the sense that most are just recycling old information or things we’ve all already heard before. For this book it seems like I read a lot of new ideas presented in a way that makes a great deal of sense, even if might be perceived as somewhat “controversial”. The content was mostly new to me and laid out in a coherent way that is easy to follow, but is meticulously researched and supported with solid evidence. Peter Senior uses facts and present-day conditions as well as real-life examples to share his perspectives and ideas, Fast paced, informative, and easy to read, I recommend this book, “They’re Conning You!” to everyone who wants to know what is really going on, from aliens to secret societies, shadow governments and 9/11 and so much more.  (5 stars) John Goldman– Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers
  2. Peter Senior has a great ability to take complex ideas, concepts and put them in the simplest terms for all to understand easily. He covers many different points of society – past, present and future—and holds nothing back in the way of exposing information that many people might not be aware of. The media and governments do a great job of distorting reality and manipulating truths so that the average person has no idea what is really happening. Mr. Senior has compiled so much interesting research and documentation on a variety of hot-button topics and gives straightforward, convincing arguments that demand to be heard and studied further. Nicely crafted and I liked how it was formatted/broken down into individual chapters that focused on different elements. Made for easier reading and retention. Near flawless editing (formatting is a little wonky at times) and I walked away feeling like I really learned something from reading this book and am inspired to do more reading and research on my own. (4 stars) Leo Gregory– Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers
  3. Funny how few books there actually seem to be on so many of these topics… and this is such important information! I am still in college and it’s just not normally the type of book that I gravitate to for ‘fun’, but I thought there might be something useful I could learn anyways and I was so right! It is eye-opening and very compelling – it is clear that the author knows what he’s writing about and has done in-depth research (and has detailed and comprehensive appendices at the end to prove it). Provocative and bold, this book is not just for academics or scientists or political gurus, but for anyone who wants to know what is REALLY going on ‘behind the scenes’ and how different it is from what “they” are telling you. Everything from the JFK assassination to Twin Towers to Extra-Terrestrials, Antarctica and “Deep State” governments… Peter Senior has created an impressively comprehensive body of research and theories that can definitely get people’s attention, whether you are a ‘skeptic’ or a ‘believer’. I could definitely see the truths behind much of what he was saying. The main concern I had was that while he presented lots of great information and shocking revelations, I was left with the feeling of like “okay, now what am I supposed to do with this info?” So in that regard it is a little frustrating, but I guess it is better to know than to not know. I like that it challenged the traditional narrative and put things into new perspective. (4 stars) James Masters– Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers
  4. I wasn’t sure what to expect when reading “They’re Conning You” by Peter Senior, as I’m not normally one to read about things like this. But surprisingly enough I found the straight-forward and engaging narrative style to be quite fascinating and down-to-earth. I liked how Mr. Senior uses his vast and well-researched knowledge ‘story-style’ to make his points and relate his ideas in ways that we all can fully and easily grasp. Each chapter/section/topic gives valuable information, examples and supporting links or sources for further research/reading. The whole thing just flowed so well and I hope people pay attention to as it is clear that the author knows what he is talking about, and that he is an excellent writer. I have found that many times reading philosophy/political or ‘conspiracy’ theory books can either be too ‘highbrow’ and esoteric, or they just don’t present the material in a way that I feel I can relate to (or its condescending), but this definitely was not the case here at all. My only very small complaint was that I wish there were more in-text citations for sources (footnotes or direct links), because while the author does provide a very thorough appendices/references at the end, there were a few times I would’ve preferred to see the sources cited in text. A very minor thing, though. Recommended read. (4 stars) Cale Owens– Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers
  5. I think a lot of these types of books get a bad rap sometimes, as a lot of times they are all theory and ‘talking in circles’ but don’t really bring anything ‘new’ to the table or make the information credible and or relevant. But I have to say in this case I feel like the author did a solid job of getting his message out and doing so in a very digestible manner. I was unaware of so many things discussed in this book, and I consider myself to be fairly well educated and worldly. I’m not exactly sure who the right target audience for this would be, as it almost seems something almost anyone could (and should!) read. I admit I am not all that sure what to do with this information, but if nothing else I enjoyed learning more about certain things I was unaware of before, and I have ALWAYS had an interest in knowing more truths with aliens/ET and their contributions to our planet and advancing civilizations. The pacing is pretty even and overall it is an impressive effort by Mr. Senior and worth serious thought and discussion. (4 stars) Carla Biggins– Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers
  6. In “They’re Conning You…” Peter Senior lays out his ideas is a way that encourages the reader to think ‘outside the box’ and question the ‘reality’ that is often presented to the masses. Whether you believe in conspiracy theories or facts or not, there is enough detailed examination of ‘controversial’ subjects here to entice the pickiest of readers. His narrative is easy to follow, even if some of the concepts were admittedly a little ‘out there’ at times. I still feel like I gleaned some valuable information – actually a lot that I didn’t know before. While not exactly a ‘mainstream’ sort of book, in a way that is exactly what makes it so good –This book is intelligent and thought-provoking – opens your eyes and provides a necessary paradigm shift. Some parts pull the rug out from under you – others will pull the wool from your eyes and expose truths, sometimes uncomfortable, that we all need to at least hear about, even if you chose not to believe it.  At least you can decide for yourself when given the bigger picture. I liked how many outside sources he references, so many links, videos, articles and books… I will definitely be reading more! Recommend. (4 stars) Cody Brighton – Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers
  7. Warning – when starting “They’re Conning You…” make sure you don’t have anywhere you need to be or anything you need to do because you won’t want to stop reading until you’ve finished it all!! Trust me on this! The book starts off with an intriguing beginning pulling us into this provocative world and ideas, and just keeps going with one interesting topic after the next. I think what I liked the most about this book was just the overall feel the author Peter Senior managed to create where it felt intimate, like a friend is telling me this really cool, strange story that I didn’t want to stop listening to. Loved the energetic tone and the fact that he has his opinions, but the book doesn’t feel overly ‘biased’ or judgmental… This went much deeper than that, and I was truly impressed with the author’s literary and research skills. I actually feel like I learned a lot, all while being ‘entertained’. I’ve always had a fascination with many of these subjects (esp. aliens and secret societies), but they are usually presented in such an eye-rolling, unbelievable way It was great to read something so intelligently constructed with impressive research and complex connections that all come full circle. Suitable for mature teens on up. (5 stars) Essie Harmon—Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers

The American Deep State: Big Money, Big Oil, and the Struggle for U.S. Democracy – Updated version 

Note: this review is  copied from the Amazon/Kindle website.

Now in a new edition updated through the unprecedented 2016 presidential election, this provocative book makes a compelling case for a hidden “deep state” that influences and often opposes official U.S. policies. Prominent political analyst Peter Dale Scott begins by tracing America’s increasing militarization, restrictions on constitutional rights, and income disparity since World War II. With the start of the Cold War, he argues, the U.S. government changed immensely in both function and scope, from protecting and nurturing a relatively isolated country to assuming ever-greater responsibility for controlling world politics in the name of freedom and democracy. This has resulted in both secretive new institutions and a slow but radical change in the American state itself. He argues that central to this historic reversal were seismic national events, ranging from the assassination of President Kennedy to 9/11.
Scott marshals compelling evidence that the deep state is now partly institutionalized in non-accountable intelligence agencies like the CIA and NSA, but it also extends its reach to private corporations like Booz Allen Hamilton and SAIC, to which 70 percent of intelligence budgets are outsourced. Behind these public and private institutions is the influence of Wall Street bankers and lawyers, allied with international oil companies beyond the reach of domestic law. Undoubtedly the political consensus about America’s global role has evolved, but if we want to restore the country’s traditional constitutional framework, it is important to see the role of particular cabals—such as the Project for the New American Century—and how they have repeatedly used the secret powers and network of Continuity of Government (COG) planning to implement change. Yet the author sees the deep state polarized between an establishment and a counter-establishment in a chaotic situation that may actually prove more hopeful for U.S. democracy.

Everything You Need to Know,  by David Icke, 14 February 2018

See full review at: David Icke’s Everything You Need To Know But Have Never Been Told

David’s latest book is reviewed in a recent post by Freedom Article, as follows: ‘This book sprinkled throughout with David’s humor, e.g. when discussing transhumanism poster boy Ray Kurzweil of Google, David remarks “I wouldn’t trust him to tell me the date in a calendar factory” or when discussing the Christian sacrament of the Eucharist (eating the body and drinking the blood of Christ), David remarks that mainstream religion is “Satanism lite.”

Here are 2 key quotes from the book:

“If you want to control the dream you must control the perceptions of the dreamer and that’s the global conspiracy to enslave humanity in a single sentence.”

David uses the same quote from Einstein twice in the book, since it’s so important:

“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you can’t help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”

Therein lies the grand solution. The solution to all these problems, to the entire New World Order, comes down to some very simple principles. Remember who you are. Identify with the depth of your spirit, not the shallowness of your form. Life is a mirror: whatever you put out, you receive. Change your perception and your change everything. The universe matches your vibration with an experience or situation, so if you change your vibration, you change your experience, and your entire life. If enough of us do it, we change the entire world.

Everything You Need To Know But Have Never Been Told is the kind of book that can change your life. Get a copy, read it, let it inspire you with knowledge and courage, and let the astonishing amount of dot-connecting sink in and give you a perceptual reboot.’

JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters

 JFK and the Unspeakable. Why He Died and Why It Matters  Book review by Edward Curtin, 31 October 2017

Despite a treasure-trove of new information having emerged over the last forty-six years, there are many people who still think who killed President John Fitzgerald Kennedy and why are unanswerable questions. There are others who cling to the Lee Harvey Oswald “lone-nut” explanation proffered by the Warren Commission. Both groups agree, however, that whatever the truth, it has no contemporary relevance but is old-hat, history, stuff for conspiracy-obsessed people with nothing better to do. The general thinking is that the assassination occurred almost a half-century ago, so let’s move on.

Nothing could be further from the truth, as James Douglass shows in his extraordinary book, JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters (Simon & Schuster, 2008). It is clearly one of the best books ever written on the Kennedy assassination and deserves a vast readership. It is bound to roil the waters of complacency that have submerged the truth of this key event in modern American history.

It’s not often that the intersection of history and contemporary events pose such a startling and chilling lesson as does the contemplation of the murder of JFK on November 22, 1963 juxtaposed with the situations faced by President Obama today. So far, at least, Obama’s behaviour has mirrored Johnson’s, not Kennedy’s, as he has escalated the war in Afghanistan by 34,000. One can’t but help think that the thought of JFK’s fate might not be far from his mind as he contemplates his next move in Afghanistan.

Douglass presents a very compelling argument that Kennedy was killed by “unspeakable” (the Trappist monk Thomas Merton’s term) forces within the U.S. national security state because of his conversion from a cold warrior into a man of peace. He argues, using a wealth of newly uncovered information, that JFK had become a major threat to the burgeoning military-industrial complex and had to be eliminated through a conspiracy planned by the CIA – “the CIA’s fingerprints are all over the crime and the events leading up to it” – not by a crazed individual, the Mafia, or disgruntled anti-Castro Cubans, though some of these may have been used in the execution of the plot.

Why and by whom? These are the key questions. If it can be shown that Kennedy did, in fact, turn emphatically away from war as a solution to political conflict; did, in fact, as he was being urged by his military and intelligence advisers to up the ante and use violence, rejected such advice and turned toward peaceful solutions, then, a motive for his elimination is established. If, furthermore, it can be clearly shown that Oswald was a dupe in a deadly game and that forces within the military/intelligence apparatus were involved with him from start to finish, then the crime is solved, not by fingering an individual who may have given the order for the murder or pulled the trigger, but by showing that the coordination of the assassination had to involve U.S. intelligence agencies, most notably the CIA. Douglass does both, providing highly detailed and intricately linked evidence based on his own research and a vast array of the best scholarship.

We are then faced with the contemporary relevance, and since we know that every president since JFK has refused to confront the growth of the national security state and its call for violence, one can logically assume a message was sent and heeded. In this regard, it is not incidental that former twenty-seven year CIA analyst Raymond McGovern, in a recent interview, warned of the “two CIAs,” one the analytic arm providing straight scoop to presidents, the other the covert action arm which operates according to its own rules. “Let me leave you with this thought,” he told his interviewer, “and that is that I think Panetta (current CIA Director), and to a degree Obama, are afraid – I never thought I’d hear myself saying this – I think they are afraid of the CIA.” He then recommended Douglass’ book, “It’s very well-researched and his conclusion is very alarming.” [1]

Let’s look at the history marshaled by Douglass to support his thesis.

First, Kennedy, who took office in January 1961 as somewhat of a Cold Warrior, was quickly set up by the CIA to take the blame for the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in April 1961. The CIA and generals wanted to oust Castro, and in pursuit of that goal, trained a force of Cuban exiles to invade Cuba. Kennedy refused to go along and the invasion was roundly defeated. The CIA, military, and Cuban exiles bitterly blamed Kennedy. But it was all a sham.

Though Douglass doesn’t mention it, and few Americans know it, classified documents uncovered in 2000 revealed that the CIA had discovered that the Soviets had learned of the date of the invasion more than a week in advance, had informed Castro, but – and here is a startling fact that should make people’s hair stand on end – never told the President. [2] The CIA knew the invasion was doomed before the fact but went ahead with it anyway. Why? So they could and did afterwards blame JFK for the failure.

This treachery set the stage for events to come. For his part, sensing but not knowing the full extent of the set-up, Kennedy fired CIA Director Allen Dulles (as in a bad joke, later to be named to the Warren Commission) and his assistant General Charles Cabell (whose brother Earle Cabell, to make a bad joke absurd, was the mayor of Dallas on the day Kennedy was killed) and said he wanted “to splinter the CIA in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.” Not the sentiments to endear him to a secretive government within a government whose power was growing exponentially.

The stage was now set for events to follow as JFK, in opposition to nearly all his advisers, consistently opposed the use of force in U.S. foreign policy.

In 1961, despite the Joint Chief’s demand to put troops into Laos, Kennedy bluntly insisted otherwise as he ordered Averell Harriman, his representative at the Geneva Conference, “Did you understand? I want a negotiated settlement in Laos. I don’t want to put troops in.”

Also in 1961, he refused to concede to the insistence of his top generals to give them permission to use nuclear weapons in Berlin and Southeast Asia. Walking out of a meeting with top military advisors, Kennedy threw his hands in the air and said, “These people are crazy.”

He refused to bomb and invade Cuba as the military wished during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962. Afterwards he told his friend John Kenneth Galbraith that “I never had the slightest intention of doing so.”

Then in June 1963 he gave an incredible speech at American University in which he called for the total abolishment of nuclear weapons, the end of the Cold War and the “Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war,” and movement toward “general and complete disarmament.”

A few months later he signed a Limited Test Ban Treaty with Nikita Khrushchev.

In October 1963 he signed National Security Action Memorandum 263 calling for the withdrawal of 1,000 U. S. military troops from Vietnam by the end of the year and a total withdrawal by the end of 1965.[3]

All this he did while secretly engaging in negotiations with Khrushchev via the KGB , Norman Cousins, and Pope John XXIII , and with Castro through various intermediaries, one of whom was French Journalist Jean Daniel. In an interview with Daniel on October 24, 1963 Kennedy said, “I approved the proclamation Fidel Castro made in the Sierra Maestra, when he justifiably called for justice and especially yearned to rid Cuba of corruption. I will go even further: to some extent it is as though Batista was the incarnation of a number of sins on the part of the United States. Now we will have to pay for those sins. In the matter of the Batista regime, I am in agreement with the first Cuban revolutionaries. That is perfectly clear.” Such sentiments were anathema, shall we say treasonous, to the CIA and top generals.

These clear refusals to go to war and his decision to engage in private, back-channel communications with Cold War enemies marked Kennedy as an enemy of the national security state. They were on a collision course. As Douglass and others have pointed out, every move Kennedy made was anti-war. This, Douglass argues, was because JFK, a war hero, had been deeply affected by the horror of war and was severely shaken by how close the world had come to destruction during the Cuban missile crisis. Throughout his life he had been touched by death and had come to appreciate the fragility of life. Once in the Presidency, Kennedy underwent a deep metanoia, a spiritual transformation, from Cold Warrior to peace maker. He came to see the generals who advised him as devoid of the tragic sense of life and as hell-bent on war. And he was well aware that his growing resistance to war had put him on a dangerous collision course with those generals and the CIA. On numerous occasions he spoke of the possibility of a military coup d’etat against him. On the night before his trip to Dallas, he told his wife, “But, Jackie, if somebody wants to shoot me from a window with a rifle, nobody can stop it, so why worry about it.” And we know that nobody did try to stop it because they had planned it.

But who killed him?

Douglass presents a formidable amount of evidence, some old and some new, against the CIA and covert action agencies within the national security state, and does so in such a logical and persuasive way that any fair-minded reader cannot help but be taken aback; stunned, really. And he links this evidence directly to JFK’s actions on behalf of peace.

He knows, however, that to truly convince he must break a “conspiracy of silence that would envelop our government, our media, our academic institutions, and virtually our entire society from November 22, 1963, to the present.” This “unspeakable,” this hypnotic “collective denial of the obvious,” is sustained by a mass-media whose repeated message is that the truth about such significant events is beyond our grasp, that we will have to drink the waters of uncertainty forever. As for those who don’t, they are relegated to the status of conspiracy nuts.

Fear and uncertainty block a true appraisal of the assassination – that plus the thought that it no longer matters.

It matters. For we know that no president since JFK has dared to buck the military-intelligence-industrial complex. We know a Pax Americana has spread its tentacles across the globe with U.S. military in over 130 countries on 750 plus bases. We know that the amount of blood and money spent on wars and war preparations has risen astronomically.

There is a great deal we know and even more that we don’t want to know, or at the very least, investigate.

If Lee Harvey Oswald was connected to the intelligence community, the FBI and the CIA, then we can logically conclude that he was not “a lone-nut” assassin. Douglass marshals a wealth of evidence to show how from the very start Oswald was moved around the globe like a pawn in a game, and when the game was done, the pawn was eliminated in the Dallas police headquarters. As he begins to trace Oswald’s path, Douglass asks this question: “Why was Lee Harvey Oswald so tolerated and supported by the government he betrayed?” After serving as a U.S. Marine at the CIA’s U-2 spy plane operating base in Japan with a Crypto clearance (higher than top secret but a fact suppressed by the Warren Commission), Oswald left the Marines and defected to the Soviet Union. After denouncing the U.S., working at a Soviet factory in Minsk , and taking a Russian wife – during which time Gary Powers’ U-2 spy plane is shot down over the Soviet Union – he returned to the U.S. with a loan from the American Embassy in Moscow, only to be met at the dock in Hoboken, New Jersey by a man, Spas T. Raikin, a prominent anti-communist with extensive intelligence connections, recommended by the State Department. He passed through immigration with no trouble, was not prosecuted, moved to Fort Worth, Texas where , at the suggestion of the Dallas CIA Domestic Contacts Service chief, he was met and befriended by George de Mohrenschildt, an anti-communist Russian, who was a CIA asset. De Mohrenschildt got him a job four days later at a graphic arts company that worked on maps for the U.S. Army Map Service related to U-2 spy missions over Cuba. Oswald was then shepherded around the Dallas area by de Mohrenschildt who, in 1977, on the day he revealed he had contacted Oswald for the CIA and was to meet with the House Select Committee on Assasinations’ Gaeton Fonzi, allegedly committed suicide. Oswald then moved to New Orleans in April 1963 where got a job at the Reilly Coffee Company owned by CIA-affiliated William Reilly. The Reilly Coffee Company was located in close vicinity to the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, and Office of Naval Intelligence offices and a stone’s throw from the office of Guy Bannister, a former Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Chicago Bureau, who worked as a covert action coordinator for the intelligence services, supplying and training anti-Castro paramilitaries meant to ensnare Kennedy. Oswald then went to work with Bannister and the CIA paramilitaries.

During this time up until the assassination Oswald engaged in all sorts of contradictory activities, one day portraying himself as pro-Castro, the next day as anti-Castro, many of these theatrical performances being directed from Bannister’s office. It was as though Oswald, on the orders of his puppet masters, was enacting multiple and antithetical roles in order to confound anyone intent on deciphering the purposes behind his actions and to set him up as a future “assassin.” Douglass persuasively argues that Oswald “seems to have been working with both the CIA and FBI,” as a provocateur for the former and an informant for the latter. Jim and Elsie Wilcott, who worked at the CIA Tokyo Station from 1960-64, in a 1978 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, said, “It was common knowledge in the Tokyo CIA station that Oswald worked for the agency.”

When Oswald moved to New Orleans in April 1963, de Mohrenschildt exited the picture, having asked the CIA for and been indirectly given a $285,000 contract to do a geological survey for Haitian dictator “Papa Doc” Duvalier, which he never did , but for which he was paid. Ruth and Michael Paine then entered the picture on cue. Douglass illuminatingly traces in their intelligence connections. Ruth later was the Warren Commission’s chief witness. She had been introduced to Oswald by de Mohrenschildt. In September 1963 Ruth Paine drove from her sister’s house in Virginia to New Orleans to pick up Marina Oswald and bring her to her house in Dallas to live with her. Thirty years after the assassination a document was declassified showing Paine’s sister Sylvia worked for the CIA. Her father traveled throughout Latin America on an Agency for International Development (notorious for CIA front activities) contract and filed reports that went to the CIA. Her husband Michael’s step-father, Arthur Young, was the inventor of the Bell helicopter and Michael’s job there gave him a security clearance. Her mother was related to the Forbes family of Boston and her lifelong friend, Mary Bancroft, worked as a WW II spy with Allen Dulles and was his mistress. Afterwards, Dulles questioned the Paines in front of the Warren Commission, studiously avoiding any revealing questions. Back in Dallas, Ruth Paine conveniently got Oswald a job in the Texas Book Depository where he began work on October 16, 1963.

From late September until November 22, various Oswalds are later reported to have simultaneously been seen from Dallas to Mexico City. Two Oswalds were arrested in the Texas Theatre, the real one taken out the front door and an impostor out the back. As Douglas says, “There were more Oswalds providing evidence against Lee Harvey Oswald than the Warren Report could use or even explain.” Even J. Edgar Hoover knew that Oswald impostors were used, as he told LBJ concerning Oswald’s alleged visit to the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City. He later called this CIA ploy, “the false story re Oswald’s trip to Mexico…their ( CIA’s) double-dealing,” something that he couldn’t forget. It was apparent that a very intricate and deadly game was being played out at high levels in the shadows.

We know Oswald was blamed for the President’s murder. But if one fairly follows the trail of the crime it becomes blatantly obvious that government forces were at work. Douglass adds layer upon layer of evidence to show how this had to be so. Oswald, the mafia, anti-Castro Cubans could not have withdrawn most of the security that day. The Sheriff Bill Decker withdrew all police protection. The Secret Service withdrew the police motorcycle escorts from beside the president’s car where they had been the day before in Houston; took agents off the back of the car where they were normally stationed to obstruct gunfire. They approved the fateful, dogleg turn (on a dry run on November 18) where the car came, almost to a halt, a clear security violation. The House Select Committee on Assasinations concluded this, not some conspiracy nut.

Who could have squelched the testimony of all the doctors and medical personnel who claimed the president had been shot from the front in his neck and head, testimony contradicting the official story? Who could have prosecuted and imprisoned Abraham Bolden, the first African-American Secret Service agent personally brought on to the White House detail by JFK, who warned that he feared the president was going to be assassinated? (Douglass interviewed Bolden seven times and his evidence on the aborted plot to kill JFK in Chicago on November 2 – a story little known but extraordinary in its implications – is riveting.) The list of all the people who turned up dead, the evidence and events manipulated, the inquiry squelched, distorted, and twisted in an ex post facto cover-up – clearly point to forces within the government, not rogue actors without institutional support.

The evidence for a conspiracy organized at the deepest levels of the intelligence apparatus is overwhelming. James Douglass presents it in such depth and so logically that only one hardened to the truth would not be deeply moved and affected by his book.

He says it best: “The extent to which our national security state was systematically marshaled for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy remains incomprehensible to us. When we live in a system, we absorb and think in a system. We lack the independence needed to judge the system around us. Yet the evidence we have seen points toward our national security state, the systemic bubble in which we all live, as the source of Kennedy’s murder and immediate cover-up.”

Speaking to his friends Dave Powers and Ken O’Donnell about those who planned the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, JFK said, “They couldn’t believe that a new president like me wouldn’t panic and try to save his own face. Well, they had me figured all wrong.”

Let’s hope for another president like that, but one that meets a different end.

The Cosmic War, by Dr Joseph P Farrell

A review from Amazon of this extraordinary and compelling  ‘must read’ book, The Cosmic War: Interplanetary Warfare, Modern Physics, and Ancient Texts: A Study in Non-Catastrophist Interpretations of Ancient Legends, Author Dr Joseph P Farrell.

Farrell’s foray into ancient antiquity is scholarly in it’s precision and thought-provoking in its ramifications.  Oxford educated researcher Dr. Joseph P. Farrell unleashes a reverberating hypothesis regarding ancient history whose echoes will be forever heard.

Cosmic War is an extremely intriguing incursion into the possibility of a very ancient war in high antiquity. Dr. Farrell’s hypotheses of an Ancient Interplanetary War is argued in an in-depth, precise and reasonable approach. The extensive evidence Farrell collates and synthesizes will leave the reader aghast with the possibilities.

Intriguingly, many ancient cultures stated that the ‘Wars of the Gods’ were quite real. Predictably, even though there’s extensive evidence for advanced physics, advanced weapons, ancient [millions and BILLIONS of year old artifacts found by reputable sources], the establishment has painted all over ancient history with myth.

Regarding this very issue, Jim Marrs in his book Our Occulted History, sets his cross hairs on this very issue: “The term mythology stems from the Greek word mythos, simply meaning words or stories reflecting the basic values and attitudes of people. In past ages, when the vast majority of humans were illiterate, easily understood parables were used to educate people about history, science, and technology. During the Dark Ages, when most of people were taught that the Earth was flat, the word mythology was changed by the Roman Church to mean imaginative and fanciful tales veering far from truthfulness. This small change in semantics has caused untold damage in current perceptions.”

Ironically enough, there is starting to be more and more evidence of ‘myths’ now turning out to be fact. As Chris Hardy Ph.D remarks in her poignant book DNA Of The Gods: “…let’s remember that, before the discoveries of loads of ancient tablets written in the pictographic Sumerian language (Late Uruk period, fourth millennium BCE), the kingdom of Sumer was believed to be a myth. We had already discovered Akkad and deciphered Akkadian, and still archaeologists wouldn’t give credence to the numerous carved references, within historical dated records, to a line of kings whose title was “King of Sumer and Akkad”.

Or how about the “myth” of Troy: “This myth collapsed in 1865 with archeologist Frank Calvet’s discovery of the historic ruins of not only one city of Troy but nine layers of it! The city, whose siege is recounted in Homer’s Iliad, is only Troy VII, the seventh level underground, dating to the thirteenth century BCE.”

The gatekeepers, for many reasons, want to keep established history in a nice little box. Fortunately, as anyone who has extensively research these topics know, there’s more than ample evidence that shows that at minimum history isn’t what we have been told.

In any case, Cosmic War covers wide ranging but pertinent topics such as Van Flandern’s exploded planet hypothesis, an analysis of plasma in relation to weapons that employ scalar physics, petroglyphs which show plasma instability glyphs that were recorded by ancient cultures, remnants of giants in ancient history, optical phase conjugation, the story of the ‘gods’ as related through ancient texts, pulsars, generational charts of the ‘gods’, the scarring of The Valles Mariners being possibly from a weapon, Iapetus and its hexagonal craters, and a LOT more.

The ramifications of this book abound, and filter in all aspects of our lives. Dr. Farrell gives compelling reasons [coupled with countless others in his other trenchant books] as to why we need to give history, particularly ancient history, a very long and thorough look.

In its totality, this book is a veritable fountain of information that is scholarly in precision, and thought-provoking in its ramifications. This book is a must read for anyone interested in ancient history, ancient civilizations, and any of the topics there-in. There is more than enough information to make the reader curious about our past in more ways than they can really imagine.

David Icke’s “Phantom Self”: A Book Review from Freedom Articles

david-ickes-phantom-self-a-book-review-from-freedom-articles

Phantom Self, the latest book of researcher David Icke, takes conspiracy research to a new depth with the idea of a primal virus that has hacked Life itself.

(Editor’s note: this book is amongst the most fascinating, timely and thought-provoking books I’ve ever read.  I strongly recommend setting aside all prejudice and past learning – what we were taught, and so believed – then reading it with an open mind. And then thinking deeply.)

Phantom Self is the latest book of famous researcher and free-thinker David Icke. Just as in his previous book The Perception Deception, David takes his research to a new level of depth with a comprehensive display of dot-connecting that will leave many in awe of his knowledge – but more importantly awaken people to the real dire straits humanity is in. Like many of his books, it ends with a positive message and the ultimate solution to all of humanity’s problems; however, most of the book is devoted to exposing the current reality of planet Earth, often in horrifying detail. This is an essential part of David’s message, for without the true knowledge of what is really going on – and the capacity to feel the horror of it – we will not muster the courage and motivation to change it. Part of the reason humanity is so stuck deep in the conspiracy is that it is engaged in massive collective denial, which it prevents it from acting decisively to quash and transform the evil (or unconsciousness as I prefer to call it). A hallmark of Phantom Self is that it takes a step further down the rabbit hole – past the reptilians and Archons – and looks at the controlling force behind them, which David says resembles some kind of computer virus that has hacked life itself.

1984 – Nineteen Eighty Four

George Orwell’s classic 1950 novel is very worthwhile reading (again for most people).  It is frightening to review how much of what Orwell wrote is happening today, albeit is somewhat different guise.  Recall Orwell was a member of the Fabian Society, where he learnt of their plans before resigning.  He used novels as a practical was to publicise the plans he learn about from other Fabian members.  The Amazon website – – explains much about the book, and presents several perceptive reviews – this is one of the 4,613:

George Orwell’s classic was incredibly visionary. It is hardly fathomable that this book was written in 1948. Things that we take for granted today – cameras everywhere we go, phones being tapped, bodies being scanned for weapons remotely – all of these things were described in graphic detail in Orwell’s book.
Now that we have the Internet and people spying on other people w/ webcams and people purposely setting up their own webcams to let others “anonymously” watch them, you can see how this culture can develop into the Orwellian future described in “1984.”
If you’ve heard such phrases as “Big Brother,” “Newspeak,” and “thought crime” and wondered where these phrases came from, they came from this incredible, vivid and disturbing book.
Winston Smith, the main character of the book is a vibrant, thinking man hiding within the plain mindless behavior he has to go through each day to not be considered a thought criminal. Everything is politically correct, children defy their parents (and are encouraged by the government to do so) and everyone pays constant allegiance to “Big Brother” – the government that watches everyone and knows what everyone is doing at all times – watching you shower, watching you having sex, watching you eat, watching you go to the bathroom and ultimately watching you die.
This is a must-read for everyone.

Heretic: Why Islam Needs a Reformation Now

Author: Ayaan Hirsi Ali.  Ali was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, was raised Muslim, and spent her childhood and young adulthood in Africa and Saudi Arabia. In 1992, Hirsi Ali came to the Netherlands as a refugee. She earned her college degree in political science and worked for the Dutch Labor party. She denounced Islam after the September 11 terrorist attacks and now serves as a Dutch parliamentarian, fighting for the rights of Muslim women in Europe, the enlightenment of Islam, and security in the West.

Editor’s note: this book should be considered essential reading by anyone who has an interest in Islam as well as everyone who is or may be effected by Muslims (that means just about everyone!).  The book is very comprehensive and, unlike most other books on the subject, provides not only a wide-ranging background and analyses based on her own experience, but some thought-provoking solutions.  After scanning numerous reviews of this excellent book, the following written by ‘Helpful Advice’ on Amazon is more or less  what I would have written.

After ‘Infidel’ and ‘Nomad’ worldwide known, equally hated and adored Ayaan Hirsi Ali is back on literary (and considering the topic inevitably political) scene with her new and probably the most controversial book so far she wrote – ‘Heretic’.

A book that will certainly be subject of numerous texts, quoted or despised, she raised the question of some key Islam teachings incompatibility with the values of modern or free society for which the majority (or at least we think so maybe) people in the world stands for.

It seemed that comparing to some other major religions, Islam somehow proved immune to changes in the new world we are living, characterized by enormous speed of information exchange and the development of human rights. There were some attempts such as Arab Spring that tried to challenge traditional thinking, ingrained prejudices or facts about the Muslim world. But with the simultaneous proliferation of Islamic fundamentalism and even its acceptance in certain circles of the population in the West, according to the author it seems that it is time for some radical actions that must be implemented by the very Muslims, not someone else from outside.

So, what Ali proposes needs to happen for Muslims to defeat the extremists for good? Economic, political, judicial and military tools have already been proposed, some of them deployed, though it seems that all these will have little effect unless Islam itself is reformed.

Therefore she calls for a Muslim Reformation—a revision of Islamic teachings, alignment of modern society with traditional religion doctrine, that seems difficult, but not unfeasible due to the rejection of extremist behavior among the majority of Muslims around the world.

She reminds that such reformation has been called for since the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent abolition of the caliphate, but instead of general phrases and generalized objectives she precisely pointed out five key precepts that have made Islam resistant to historical change and adaptation. And only when the harmfulness of these ideas will be recognized and as result they will be rejected, a true Muslim Reformation would be possible.

Although to comment each of them would require writing essays, I’ll just list all five of them:
• Removing of Muhammad’s semi-divine status, putting him into the history context as important figure that united the Arabs in a pre-modern time that cannot be copied in the 21st century. And consequently also recognizing the fact that Quran is the book made by human hands.
• Emphasizing that life is more important than something that comes after it will reduce the appeal of martyrdom.
• Appreciation of modern laws that need to be put in front of Shariah legislation that is violent, intolerant or anachronistic.
• The abolition of the individual’s right and so called religious police to enforce the law, something for Muslim community is unfortunately particularly known
• And most important, Islam must become a religion of peace removing the imperative to wage holy wars against infidels

Once again this author must be admitted undeniable courage to tackle the dangerous subjects in a world where because of the drawn cartoons you can easily lose a life. Her theses are clear, her objectives are fully explained, her mission to change the Islamic world from the inside continues, causing the happiness and satisfaction of all civilized Muslims worldwide.

Therefore high recommendations for Ayaan Hirsi Ali, this brave author who after fighting for the rights of women engages into even greater battle with the hope that one day we will be able to say that books like these changed the world. For the better.

The Death of Money

The Coming Collapse of the International Monetary System.  8 April 2014.  By James Rickards.

James Rickards, author of the other best seller, Currency Wars, has gone even further in The Death of Money: The Coming Collapse of the International Monetary System, in telling it like it is (and will be, so prepare yourself!). Jim’s all-facts, straightforward approach is peppered with just enough analogy and anecdotal wit to make sophisticated economic/mathematical/political concepts understandable to the (educated) layperson. His clarification techniques serve the book well by making sure the content never gets watered down or condescending. For anyone interested in knowing what is going on behind the scenes, how the dollar is being systematically devalued by The Fed (and why), what a rigged sham our banking system is, and how things are likely to play out in the very near future, read The Death of Money!

American Betrayal

The Secret Assault on Our Nation’s Character by Diana West (May 28, 2013).  Diana West’s newest book “American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on our Nations Character” is a highly researched, blockbuster of a story taking 356 pages to tell with 29 pages of notes.  Whilst not directly about ‘management’, this book is packed with information that any successful manager should understand, in particular regarding communications (propaganda?)  and planning.  It’s the most thought-provoking, worrying, disillusioning book I’ve ever read.  I’ve attached a couple of reviews of the book from Amazon.com. American Betrayal, Diana West, May 2013. Reviews  that give you a glimpse of what it’s about.  John, of John’s Newsletter fame, noted: ‘American Betrayal explains what many already know about the creation of the soviet monster by the FDR administration, stacked with communist spies and the author of the cold war from as early as 1942.  How FDR’s lackeys could give the USSR the atomic bomb via Lend Lease is fascinating and unfortunately true.  It is clear that powerhouse though she may be, America has been ungovernable since the outset…Just too big, too complex and too full of leaks and confused ideologies.  America is now, as a reaction, on the road to becoming a police state.  Folk who have read the book  called “The Open Society and Its Enemies” by Karl Popper will understand how the USA came to this pretty pickle and the realities behind this scandalous state of affairs.  Horrific though her anecdotes are, I have seen independent corroboration elsewhere of Diana’s central themes and accept them as factual – when asserted as such.  This book is too disturbing for general consumption.’

From Third World to First

The Singapore Story: 1965-2000 by Lee Kuan Yew  (Oct 3, 2000).  Note:  although older, it is useful to read this book before the Grand Master’s Insights book, below. Some comments on the Amazon website: Lee Kwan Yew had a clear vision, set himself clear goals…. Above all, what led to his success is his execution skills…. Although Singapore is a free market economy, its philosophy concerning workers and employees are caring and genuine, unlike in the United States….His views regarding leadership and a wide range of management issues are profound….. Read this book to be inspired.

Lee Kuan Yew

The Grand Master’s Insights on China, the United States, and the World by Graham Allison et al., 1 Feb. 2013.  Some comments on the Amazon website: Lee excels in pithy evaluations of regional and national strengths and weaknesses. At his best, the man is a cross between Confucius and Machiavelli.
