Government By Emergency...


From 9/11 to COVID, Every Emergency Means Bigger Government



For two decades, Americans have been governed by emergency. These emergencies have become excuses for permanent political power grabs, for restrictions on individual liberties large and small, for mass bureaucratization and mass expansion of government spending, trillions of dollars' worth of non-solutions to deep-rooted problems. With every crisis, government grows. And now the crisis is government itself. 

What did Congress do in response to a threat that exploited America's bureaucratic obesity and dysfunction? It created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a super-bureaucracy charged with organizing a gaggle of other bureaucracies, many of which had little or nothing to do with each other. The solution Congress proposed to the problem of too much bureaucracy and too little bureaucratic coordination was even more bureaucracy, at a higher level. And of course, it hasn't worked; DHS has been plagued by serious management and morale problems, by coordination issues stemming from the large portfolio of unrelated subagencies it oversees, and by wasteful spending. Terrorism, meanwhile, remains a real threat. It didn't solve the problem. It became the problem. And government grew and grew along the way. 

The DHS was not the only federal byproduct of 9/11. Congress also created the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which proceeded to spend years harassing flyers who pose no threat, installing invasive scanners that nonetheless miss bombs shaped like pancakes, molesting children while failing to catch guns and bombs, and demanding that grandmothers strip off belts and shoes in exchange for the privilege of going from one place to another. In response to a genuine threat, Americans were treated to a new federal agency dedicated to mass groping. The emergency justified it.

The emergency also justified two new wars, one of which we're still fighting today, and thousands upon thousands of casualties, not to mention more than a trillion dollars in spending to fund the war effort. 

No one is safer because of these wars; if anything, the opposite is true. But they have helped fuel a bigger, more powerful federal government, one that is more costly, more intrusive, more bureaucratized, operating on a permanent emergency footing, despite doing little or nothing to solve the underlying issue. 




The World Is Moving Rapidly Towards Accepting The Basic System Of The Mark:


CBS declares vaccine passports as must-haves for 2021 summer travelers




Mainstream media outlet CBS News declared that “vaccination passports” will be a necessity for those planning to travel in the new normal. 

The news outlet’s pronouncement came amid predictions that domestic and international travel will resume in the summer of 2021. The travel industry and its related sectors experienced a standstill at the onset of the pandemic in March 2020, but is set to resume as COVID-19 vaccination programs appear to establish herd immunity.

CBS News travel editor Peter Greenberg predicted that travel would most likely return in the summer of 2021, and that prerequisite documents would be needed before people can do so. He stated that these documents would serve as proof that people were vaccinated against the Wuhan coronavirus. 

Greenberg said that these so-called vaccination passports “will be required” and will be the new standard in travel. But the travel editor expressed a bigger concern: “The real question is what technology will be available to create a universally acceptable and readable document that can’t be forged.”

The journalist remarked that early models of these vaccine passports will likely be physical, with later editions becoming fully digital. Both the public and private sectors in different countries worldwide are now in the process of developing preliminary versions of these digital credentials. Greenberg said that when these passports are rolled out, travel authorities will “be asking for it at [the] point of departure and … point of entry.” Airline ticket counters, passport control lanes and Customs and Border Protection embarkation points are some of the places that may ask for the vaccine passports, he added.

Greenberg estimated that vaccine passports would see widespread use in cruise lines and some air carriers around July 2021 at the earliest.

The CBS News journalist cited Denmark’s use of the vaccine passport as a model for the U.S. to follow. The Nordic country is currently developing a digital passport for citizens that contains all pertinent medical information.



WEF Deletes Video Cheering Global Lockdowns That Pushed 100 Million Into Extreme Poverty


World Economic Forum Deletes Latest Video After Cheering Global Lockdowns that Pushed 100 Million Humans into Extreme Poverty





The World Economic Forum (WEF) led by Klaus Schwab tweeted out a video on Friday celebrating global lockdowns.

Schwab and the WEF cheered the empty streets insisting the global pandemic lockdowns were “quietly improving cities around the world.” The video highlighted deserted streets, empty factories and grounded planes. Evidently, the WEF has no concerns for the world’s poorest citizens who suffered greatly under the Fauci lockdowns for a virus that targeted 80-year-olds.

The Fauci global lockdowns will plunge 100 million into extreme poverty.

Klaus Schwab also made clear lockdowns are a wonderful option for fighting global warming. Look for the globalists to push lockdowns in the future for their nefarious agenda.



Looks like Klaus Schwab's WEF wanted to send another signal about his vision of our future. Lockdowns not only "work" for "pandemics," but also as a "solution" to "climate change". That backfired, hence they quickly deleted the disturbing Tweet and video.



The U.S. War Machine Back In Gear:

First Syria, now Ukraine: NATO Mortars being fired at CIVILIANS in Ukraine; Troops and armor moving by train toward Russia Border
H. Turner



Just one day after (illegitimate) U.S. President Joe Biden resumed air strikes against Syria, we are receiving information that war trouble is brewing again in eastern Ukraine. 

NATO MORTARS are being fired against civilians in Luhansk, Ukraine only this time, Russia is moving marked Russian military radar into the area.  No more unmarked "little green men" now it's open Russian army.  Direct war with Russia looms - again, thanks to the Biden corrupt presidency.

First, a little background.  Ukraine used to be part of the Soviet Union.  Back in the 1950's then Soviet Chairman Kruschev "gave" the land area peninsula called "Crimea" to Ukraine.  For at least 300 years prior to that moment, it was, throughout ALL of recorded history, known as "Russian Crimea."

The people who live there, speak Russian.  Their family histories are Russian. In 1950-something, Kruschev "gave it" away to Ukraine.

What Is The Purpose Of 'Covid Camps' Being Built Throughout The Western World?


Covid Camps?

Paul Craig Roberts


[Normally something like this would be dismissed as 'conspiracy theory', but in these times anything seems possible. Something to keep an eye on. We have already seen numerous examples of Canadians being forcibly taken into such camps...]




What is the purpose of the Covid camps built throughout the Western World? As a direct result of 9/11 and Covid, many countries have enacted laws granting government the powers to detain people indefinitely, without trial or due process, and vaccinate people against their will. For example, even in small Denmark they have passed a law which gives government the power to forcibly detain citizens, isolate them in a hospital or other “suitable facility,” and also “forcibly treat” people who are – or are suspected of – suffering from a disease such as Covid [8]. If people resist, the police are called in. If governments around the globe have passed such laws, it is because they intend to tolerate no dissent.

Fig 1. Eisenhüttenstadt´s COVID-19 detention camp.

Germany is, of course, not the only country that is systematically establishing Covid detention camps. In fact, it appears to be taking place in the entirety of the Western world—Canada, New Zealand, and there are the notorious American FEMA camps which are found all over the US. It is difficult to assess whether or not they are also found in Russia and other non-western countries due to language barriers and secrecy, except China, which is well-known for having had concentration camps for years, housing various undesirables who are indoctrinated, or possibly enrolled in China´s alleged organ harvesting program [6, 9, 10]. The Chinese government has labeled the concentration camps “vocational training centers” and claims that the “vocational training” increases job opportunities and combats poverty [11].

In Canada, a spokesperson for Health Minister Patty Hajdu has assured the public that the camps are entirely voluntary to enter, and “the claim that the federal government is preparing to forcibly intern Canadians is patently false [12].” However, victims, including a mother whose son was detained because airline officials didn´t accept his negative Covid-19 test, have come forth expressing how they were forced into isolation [13]. One of them said, “I was escorted by police to a shuttle bus and taken to this hotel, which is fenced off from the public.” At the “Canadian Covid containment hotel,” he wasn´t allowed to leave his room and guards made sure he could not escape [13]. Independent Ontario MPP Randy Hillier posed the following questions to the government in October 2020:

It has also been reported that if New Zealanders refuse to take a Covid test, they will be put into camps [15]. Hoover Institution, Stanford University, senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson has condemned the camps and called them the end of personal freedom. The camps are perplexing, according to Hansen, as Covid has only resulted in 25 deaths on the Island [15]. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has been forthcoming about the threat with the warning: “You either get your test done and make sure you are cleared, or we will keep you in a facility longer [15].”

It is perhaps significant that as early as February 2020 it was reported that “high-security coronavirus camps are … dotted around the globe. From the US west coast to a peninsula in northwest England and deep in the heart of Germany … In Britain, it’s a hospital; in the US an air base or six and in Australia it’s an island far from home” [16] (figure 2).

From another February 2020 article, we learn that the Pentagon was in the process of setting up multiple quarantine camps near airports in Hawaii, Illinois, Texas, California, Georgia, New York, Washington State, Washington DC, New Jersey, and Michigan [17]. At this time, 1107 people had allegedly died worldwide with (not of) Covid-19 [17]. In comparison, tuberculosis killed 1.4 million people in 2019, or about one person every 22 seconds, according to the World Health Organization. Pursuant to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they have the “legal authority to detain any person who may have an infectious disease that is specified by Executive Order to be quarantinable” [18].

The consequences of the Covid-deception are far reaching and multifarious, especially in regard to censorship. It is clear that a virtual war has been waged on dissenters and all those who oppose the official Covid narrative. The Establishment has successfully concentrated the vast majority of internet activity to just a few social media platforms (facebook, instagram, twitter), to one video sharing site (youtube), and one search engine (google). Being thoroughly entrenched in the Covid narrative, “Big Tech” companies have successfully eliminated numerous content creators who have questioned Covid and other Establishment narratives. Algorithms direct people to government friendly information, rather than skeptical websites. For example, a simple google search for “vaccine side effects” produces nine results all of which are pro-vaccine. Eight of them are about Covid vaccines and allege “Most side effects are a sign your immune system is responding well to the vaccine” [19].

Bill Gates, who has been called, “a worse danger to health and freedom than Covid,” [20] has founded several “fact checking groups” which discredit all information not in line with the official narrative. It is also important to briefly mention that Gates and the Establishment regard science as a tool for social control [6]. 

Dissenters are demonized. For example, it was widely reported that a “study” had found that “anti-maskers” are likely suffering from a serious personality disorder [21]. Another well-publicized “study” argued that drugs should be added to water supplies to minimize resistance to vaccines, the global warming narrative, and mask mandates [6]. Another “study” argued that “antimask behavior, antivaccine beliefs, conspiracy theories about the origins of Covid, and vocal support by elected officials for unproven therapies” likely emerge due to “neuropsychological impairments” [22]. In other words, scientists and social critics who disagree with official narratives are portrayed as brain damaged.

The war on free speech is ongoing and will not end soon. It is not far-fetched to imagine a scenario in which leading government skeptics are officially found to be “likely infected with an infectious disease” and transported to a camp. Thus far, we have had massive “tech-purges” that deprived people of their platform and income. The second step could be a Stalinist purge, which would be preceded by a heavy campaign of propaganda, turning the people against each other, thus minimizing resistance to the end-goal. During Joseph Stalin’s reign of terror, secret police arrested and transported political prisoners, intellectuals, government critics, and many others into camps where they would be tortured, murdered, or worked to death. Like governments today, Stalin’s agenda was not inhibited by facts and truth.
