Upon admission to a once-trusted hospital, American patients with COVID-19 become virtual prisoners, subjected to a rigid treatment protocol with roots in Ezekiel Emanuel’s “Complete Lives System” for rationing medical care in those over age 50. They have a shockingly high mortality rate. How and why is this happening, and what can be done about it?

As exposed in audio recordings, hospital executives in Arizona admitted meeting several times a week to lower standards of care, with coordinated restrictions on visitation rights. Most COVID-19 patients’ families are deliberately kept in the dark about what is really being done to their loved ones.

The combination that enables this tragic and avoidable loss of hundreds of thousands of lives includes (1) The CARES Act, which provides hospitals with bonus incentive payments for all things related to COVID-19 (testing, diagnosing, admitting to hospital, use of remdesivir and ventilators, reporting COVID-19 deaths, and vaccinations) and (2) waivers of customary and long-standing patient rights by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

In 2020, the Texas Hospital Association submitted requests for waivers to  CMS. According to Texas attorney Jerri Ward, “CMS has granted ‘waivers’ of federal law regarding patient rights. Specifically, CMS purports to allow hospitals to violate the rights of patients or their surrogates with regard to medical record access, to have patient visitation, and to be free from seclusion.” She notes that “rights do not come from the hospital or CMS and cannot be waived, as that is the antithesis of a ‘right.’ The purported waivers are meant to isolate and gain total control over the patient and to deny patient and patient’s decision-maker the ability to exercise informed consent.”

Creating a “National Pandemic Emergency” provided justification for such sweeping actions that override individual physician medical decision-making and patients’ rights. The CARES Act provides incentives for hospitals to use treatments dictated solely by the federal government under the auspices of the NIH. These “bounties” must paid back if not “earned” by making the COVID-19 diagnosis and following the COVID-19 protocol.

The hospital payments include:

• A “free” required PCR test in the Emergency Room or upon admission for every patient, with government-paid fee to hospital.
• Added bonus payment for each positive COVID-19 diagnosis.
• Another bonus for a COVID-19 admission to the hospital.
• A 20 percent “boost” bonus payment from Medicare on the entire hospital bill for use of remdesivir instead of medicines such as Ivermectin.
• Another and larger bonus payment to the hospital if a COVID-19 patient is mechanically ventilated.
• More money to the hospital if cause of death is listed as COVID-19, even if patient did not die directly of COVID-19.
• A COVID-19 diagnosis also provides extra payments to coroners.

DYI:  I do agree in principal that these incentives do exist within the Cares Act, however what would have more compelling is a link to the act and an annotation as to the specific line that it is stated.  If the American public has a bounty on our heads then it would be even more information as to the exact dollar amount.  I have failed to find someone else who has tracked this down within the Act itself so I’m going to have to go through the bill.  This bill is well over 1,000 pages long which of course is done on purpose to keep average John and Jane Doe from looking at the rip-offs our politicians are providing to their masters the Jewish elites.   

CMS implemented “value-based” payment programs that track data such as how many workers at a healthcare facility receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Now we see why many hospitals implemented COVID-19 vaccine mandates. They are paid more.

 Outside hospitals, physician MIPS quality metrics link doctors’ income to performance-based pay for treating patients with COVID-19 EUA drugs. Failure to report information to CMS can cost the physician 4% of reimbursement.

Because of obfuscation with medical coding and legal jargon, we cannot be certain of the actual amount each hospital receives per COVID-19 patient. But Attorney Thomas Renz and CMS whistleblowers have calculated a total payment of at least $100,000 per patient.

What does this mean for your health and safety as a patient in the hospital?

There are deaths from the government-directed COVID treatments. For remdesivir, studies show that 71–75 percent of patients suffer an adverse effect, and the drug often had to be stopped after five to ten days because of these effects, such as kidney and liver damage, and death. Remdesivir trials during the 2018 West African Ebola outbreak had to be discontinued because death rate exceeded 50%. Yet, in 2020, Anthony Fauci directed that remdesivir was to be the drug hospitals use to treat COVID-19, even when the COVID clinical trials of remdesivir showed similar adverse effects.

In ventilated patients, the death toll is staggering. A National Library of Medicine January 2021 report of 69 studies involving more than 57,000 patients concluded that fatality rates were 45 percent in COVID-19 patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, increasing to 84 percent in older patients. Renz announced at a Truth for Health Foundation Press Conference that CMS data showed that in Texas hospitals, 84.9% percent of all patients died after more than 96 hours on a ventilator.

Then there are deaths from restrictions on effective treatments for hospitalized patients. Renz and a team of data analysts have estimated that more than 800,000 deaths in America’s hospitals, in COVID-19 and other patients, have been caused by approaches restricting fluids, nutrition, antibiotics, effective antivirals, anti-inflammatories, and therapeutic doses of anti-coagulants.

We now see government-dictated medical care at its worst in our history since the federal government mandated these ineffective and dangerous treatments for COVID-19, and then created financial incentives for hospitals and doctors to use only those “approved” (and paid for) approaches.

Our formerly trusted medical community of hospitals and hospital-employed medical staff have effectively become “bounty hunters” for your life. Patients need to now take unprecedented steps to avoid going into the hospital for COVID-19.

Patients need to take active steps to plan before getting sick to use early home-based treatment of COVID-19 that can help you save your life.

How to Bamboozle a Worldwide Population out of Trillions of Dollars while permanently harming and killing at genocidal proportions.

A faked “disease” that has NO symptoms promoted with maximum hubris!

Test everyone for this non-disease (with a test that does not detect ANY type of disease: the PCR test), to ramp up the case numbers thus driving huge profits into the arms of newly established lab centers, testing zero samples, only to assign a percentage of positives to negative results while bilking taxpayers billions of dollars.    

Quarantining the population if he has this NON-disease, in an attempt to stop the spread of this NON-existent zero symptoms disease all designed to induce fear into unsuspecting and gullible individuals.

Have the main stream propaganda spewing press at maximum volume how dangerous this non-disease is, and lie as to how many people have died from it, even though the TRUE statistics show no one dying from this faked disease.

Making sure the testing is done by a painful method, sticking a Q-tip into the nose and practically into the person’s brain!  Tell everyone they must wear a mask to cover their nose and mouth, because even their breath is dangerous and contains the fake COVID-19 virus.  Even though the authorities say the mouth must be covered (so obviously, saliva must contain the virus), the virus cannot be tested in saliva from inside the mouth, which would be painless.

The testing labs that actually tested their samples using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method, that does not test for COVID-19 virus, or any other disease, as confirmed repeatedly by the inventor Dr. Kary Mullis.  By multiplying molecules up to insane levels mandated by the FDA false positive will proliferate for a test that is not a test up to 97% false positives.  Making it so easy for the criminal authorities to lie about the numbers – since there will be zero valid numbers. 

Pay hospitals tens of thousands of dollars for doctors and hospital administrators to lie about the number of COVID-19 cases thereby insuring the vast majority of the population is terrified of this NON-disease that has no symptoms, and kills no one – the Coronavirus (not the specific COVID-19) that causes nothing more than the common cold!  A doctors Physicians Desk Reference (PDR) states clearly that Coronaviruses are nothing more than the common cold!  Yet Administrators, Doctors, and Nurses are monetized to ignore this easy to find simple fact!   

Monetary incentives to hospitals, doctors and hospital administrators to lie about the number of COVID-19 cases thereby insuring the vast majority of the population is terrified of this NON-disease that has no symptoms, and kills no one – the Coronavirus (not the specific COVID-19) that causes nothing more than the common cold!  A doctors Physicians Desk Reference (PDR) states clearly that Coronaviruses are nothing more than the common cold!  Yet Administrators, Doctors, and Nurses are monetized to ignore this easy to find simple fact!

 Big Pharma has created a highly experimental gene altering drug only now called a vaccine as the medical authorities changed the definition!  These shots are now causing vast permanent harms and DEATHS!  Despite the insane numbers of harms and deaths medical and political authorities are full steam ahead to induce citizens worldwide to take a product that is known to be deadly in its defectiveness.

As all other possibilities for this madness are ruled out the only conclusion no matter how impossible that may seem this is a gargantuan theft of citizens taxpayers monies worldwide AND A DEPOPULATION AGENDA!  I know of no other conclusion that can be drawn.

Wind Down?

The Last Days of the Covidian Cult

CJ Hopkins

This isn’t going to be pretty, folks. The downfall of a death cult rarely is. There is going to be wailing and gnashing of teeth, incoherent fanatical jabbering, mass deleting of embarrassing tweets. There’s going to be a veritable tsunami of desperate rationalizing, strenuous denying, shameless blame-shifting, and other forms of ass-covering, as suddenly former Covidian Cult members make a last-minute break for the jungle before the fully-vaxxed-and-boosted “Safe and Effective Kool-Aid” servers get to them.

Yes, that’s right, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, the official Covid narrative is finally falling apart, or is being hastily disassembled, or historically revised, right before our eyes. The “experts” and “authorities” are finally acknowledging that the “Covid deaths” and “hospitalization” statistics are artificially inflated and totally unreliable (which they have been from the very beginning), and they are admitting that their miracle “vaccines” don’t work (unless you change the definition of the word “vaccine”), and that they have killed a few people, or maybe more than a few people, and that lockdowns were probably “a serious mistake.”

I am not going to bother with further citations. You can surf the Internet as well as I can. The point is, the “Apocalyptic Pandemic” PSYOP has reached its expiration date. After almost two years of mass hysteria over a virus that causes mild-to-moderate common-cold or flu-like symptoms (or absolutely no symptoms whatsoever) in about 95% of the infected and the overall infection fatality rate of which is approximately 0.1% to 0.5%, people’s nerves are shot. We are all exhausted. Even the Covidian cultists are exhausted. And they are starting to abandon the cult en masse.

It isn’t over, but that window is closing, and our world has not been “reimagined” and “reset,” not irrevocably, not just yet. Clearly, GloboCap underestimated the potential resistance to the Great Reset, and the time it would take to crush that resistance. And now the clock is running down, and the resistance isn’t crushed … on the contrary, it is growing. And there is nothing GloboCap can do to stop it, other than go openly totalitarian, which it can’t, as that would be suicidal. 

The simulated “global health crisis” is, for all intents and purposes, over. Which means that GloboCap has screwed the pooch. The thing is, if you intend to keep the masses whipped up into a mindless frenzy of anus-puckering paranoia over an “apocalyptic global pandemic,” at some point, you have to produce an actual apocalyptic global pandemic. Faked statistics and propaganda will carry you for a while, but eventually people are going to need to experience something at least resembling an actual devastating worldwide plague, in reality, not just on their phones and TVs.

DYI:  The so called elites haven’t screwed the pooch totally unless willing to ignore the world wide plundering of governmental treasuries.  I estimate somewhere around 3 to 6 trillion – worldwide – have been vacuumed up by this criminal class.  A big part of this wind down is to keep the thievery going as long as possible.  When it is obviously over – [faked pandemic] – governments worldwide including the U.S. will be using tax dollars purchasing the elites fraudulent products and services to squeeze out of the masses their last bit of tax monies!  

Many of these people (i.e., the non-fanatics) are starting to suspect that maybe what we “tin-foil-hat-wearing, Covid-denying, anti-vax, conspiracy-theorist extremists” have been telling them for the past 22 months might not be as crazy as they originally thought. They are back-pedaling, rationalizing, revising history, and just making up all kinds of self-serving bullshit, like how we are now in “a post-vaccine world,” or how “the Science has changed,” or how “Omicron is different,” in order to avoid being forced to admit that they’re the victims of a GloboCap PSYOP and the worldwide mass hysteria it has generated.

Totalitarian movements and death cults do not typically go down gracefully.

 They usually go down in a gratuitous orgy of wanton, nihilistic violence as the cult or movement desperately attempts to maintain its hold over its wavering members and defend itself from encroaching reality. 

And that is where we are at the moment … or where we are going to be very shortly.

Cities, states, and countries around the world are pushing ahead with implementing the New Normal biosecurity society, despite the fact that there is no longer any plausible justification for it. Austria is going ahead with forced “vaccination.” Germany is preparing to do the same. France is rolling out a national segregation system to punish “the Unvaccinated.” Greece is fining “unvaccinated” pensioners. Australia is operating “quarantine camps.” Scotland. Italy. Spain. The Netherlands. New York City. San Francisco. Toronto. The list goes on, and on, and on.

I don’t know what is going to happen. I’m not an oracle. I’m just a satirist. But we are getting dangerously close to the point where GloboCap will need to go full-blown fascist if they want to finish what they started. If that happens, things are going to get very ugly. I know, things are already ugly, but I’m talking a whole different kind of ugly. 

DYI:  CJ Hopkins the author of the article is spot on as to the elite’s behavior that is now just manifesting itself in a very overt manner that even the normies will be able to see.  If they do go full tyrannical unless vast portions of police departments and militaries world wide are totally corrupt all the way to their lowest rank members their push back will be enormous! 

Here in the U.S. since our country is so spread out geographically most citizen’s non compliance will simply to ignore any edicts.  However those communities that continue with the draconian policies such as school board officials it will be a sight to see when angry Dad’s and especially furious Mother’s on video chasing those officials down the street while the police throw their hands up in the air and do nothing!

Don’t think for a second these people are going to retire on some paradise island in the south pacific talking how they almost pulled off a world wide coup!  There will be more that has already started with staged faked shooting events just getting ramped up.  I look for a firestorm of these faked events because they worked in the past with the elites hoping they will work in the future in order to maintain their fear campaign.

What we must have is vigilance.  When the elites are stirring the pot of fear using staged faked shootings, faked pandemics, and the very real weather modification their captured politicians will be passing all types of draconian laws.  This is exampled by the repeal of the Smith-Mundt Act (2012) that legalizes government sponsored news disseminated domestically – or more commonly called PROPAGANDA! 

The main stream press two biggest customers are big pharma and Uncle Sam!  Any fake event the elites controlled government desires just pay the main stream press and they will deliver!  Fortunately for us citizens they do a very poor job with the majority of events being far more comical than real looking.  More and more citizens are waking up to this and shortsighted as the mainstream press is in the process of destroying itself.

Where to fight back?  Your local community and then move on to the State level where the elites have far less control.  Forget about Presidential elections those politicians are not elected they are selected including Trump!  Savior politicians are nothing less than wolves in sheep’s clothing!  Trump is advocating everyone to take the jab and yet the harms and deaths continue to mount dramatically.  Enough said about Trump or any other politician. 

Get organized!  Stop waiting for someone else to make the first step!  Unless you enjoy getting ripped off watching your standard of living dropping decade after decade. Eventually, you and the wife will be working full AND part time jobs just to maintain a basic middle class existence will be the new normal.  We will have to fight back this will just not disappear all by itself for as soon as the COVID BS is over they will ramp up more BS that I mentioned previously.

How to fight back?  Form voting blocks in your district with people of like minds and keep it simple.  If elected school board members are remaining with the mask mandates and by God pushing for mandated COVID vaccines these people need to go.  These folks are elected by the slimmest of margins usually by only a couple hundred of votes!  Build a voting block of two or three thousand votes at the next election and vote your people in office.  Send back the Fed’s money end the COVID restriction AND end all mandatory vaccinations for entry into public school.  Common Core nonsense?  GONE!

You get the idea…

 Identifying Propaganda Techniques

Methods Used For:  

Wars, Medical Fraud, Government & Corporate Misdeeds etc. 

Exposing Propaganda: The Vaccine For Liberty, Truth And Reason

The Intent To Deceive Is Never Right

While individuals can certainly lie and deceive on their own initiative, propaganda is invariably seen in the realm of governments and corporations that use instruments of mass communications to control behavior.

To be clear, all propaganda intentionally and deceptively manipulates emotions to create a change in personal and group behavior. Further, the most effective propagandists lay traps and defenses in advance for would-be critics.

Notably, propaganda works best whenever people don’t notice it.

Fortunately, recognizing propaganda is simple once you understand its time-tested techniques, all of which have been clearly identified and validated for many decades.

The following standardized propaganda techniques, recognized and well-documented by many authors and professional scholars, are used in various combinations to achieve a desired behavioral outcome.

The Techniques of Propaganda

Fear: The most powerful emotion, fear of loss or physical harm open the mind up to accept the solutions provided by the propagandist, that would not otherwise have been accepted. The technique of fear has been the foundation of all pandemic-related propaganda.

Bandwagon: A claim is made that because everyone else is doing it, so you should too. This is often combined with other propaganda techniques. “Everyone is taking the shot because it is safe and effective; you should take it, too.”

Card Stacking: This technique highlights the “good” information while leaving out the “bad”. In other words, only the facts that support the propagandist’s agenda are presented, while everything else is intentionally suppressed. Censorship is rampant in media, social media and search engines.

Plain Folks: The propagandist implies that he is just an ordinary person like you, with the same dreams and desires, and therefore you should believe him.

The Testimonial: Using an unrelated person such as a celebrity, to give testimony that the propaganda is true and that you can trust them to tell you so. They might also appear as “plain folks” described above.

Glittering Generalities: Sweeping statements that cannot be defined, often containing vague “virtue words”. E.g., “This program will create equity for all” and “We will create millions of green jobs with this budget.”

Name Calling/Deflection: Ad hominem attacks deflect attention away from the propagandist and toward someone else. Al Gore once said concerning global warming, “Deniers deserved to be punished.” Today, it is claimed that America has a “pandemic of the unvaccinated”.

Transfer: This technique carries over the authority, prestige or acceptance of another group or organization, thus transferring those characteristics over to the propagandist’s program. Many churches, for instance, have been used to promote acceptance of pandemic propaganda by their congregations.

False Analogy: Two concepts are falsely linked together without any cause and effect. For example, “People who question vaccines are anti-vaxxers; Mary does not want the vaccine, so she is an anti-vaxxer.”

Either/Or Fallacy: With “black-and-white” thinking, only two choices are given, even though there might be other acceptable choices. This polarizes the issue and forces you to accept the desired outcome. For instance, “You are either for science or against it.”

Faulty Cause and Effect: This technique suggests that because A follows B, A must cause B. For example, Joe supports gun ownership; murderers often use guns to kill people; therefore, Joe is a killer.

Euphemisms: This is the use of a word or phrase that pretends to communicate but doesn’t. If often makes the bad seem good or the unpleasant seem attractive. For instance, “You aren’t poor, you are economically disadvantaged.”

Loaded Words: Related to name-calling, the propagandist will use extreme words to describe ordinary circumstances. For example, parents who protest at school board meetings are now labeled as “domestic terrorists” who commit “hate crimes”.

Scapegoat: This technique uses guilt-by-association to assign blame to an unrelated person, e.g., economic woes caused by the current administration are blamed on the previous administration; the ongoing pandemic is caused by the unvaccinated.

Logical Disconnect: The World Economic Forum states, “You will own nothing and be happy.” This says that happiness is the result of owning nothing but this is totally illogical from experience. A corollary to this might well be “Homeless people own nothing, therefore they must be happy.”

Is Propaganda Free Speech?

Throughout history, robust and often intense debates have been held between individuals of different opinions. You will find an abundance of such conflicts during the founding period of America. There were verbal arguments as well as publications that published differing ideas and opinions. In some cases, it produced quite a bit of anger and bitterness.

But was it all according to “Free Speech”?

The answer is found by examining the intent and quality of the exchange of ideas. A foul was called if one party intentionally lied or if key evidence was intentionally withheld to trick the other parties.

In other words, deceit was not tolerated. On one hand, those who deceive and lie with malice of forethought have the right to verbalize such things, but they must also bear the consequence of violating the law in doing so.

Slander, for instance, is the act of harming one person’s reputation by telling one or more other people something that is untrue about that person.

Libel occurs when one person makes up or alters a statement of another, with intent to defame or damage the person’s reputation or livelihood.

Bunko is a crime that cheats one person out of privilege or possessions through lying and misrepresentation.

Merriam-Webster defines: 

Fraud as an act of deceiving and “intentional perversion of truth in order to induce another to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right”.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary also defines propaganda:  

“the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause or a person” and “ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one’s cause or to damage an opposing cause”.

Georgetown University Law Center summarizes in the Law of Deception, 

“Many laws address deception. 

Familiar examples include: the torts of deceit, libel and defamation; the crime of theft by false pretenses and federal mail and wire fraud statutes; the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Lanham Act, and state unfair and deceptive acts and practices laws; laws prohibiting securities fraud and requiring issuer disclosures; the contract defense of misrepresentation; and the law of perjury.”

All this is to say that while Free Speech provides a great latitude of expression, it is always constrained by legal and ethical boundaries.

Is lying and deception Free Speech? No, never!

When propagandists hide behind the argument of Free Speech, they are using it as a propaganda technique to deceive you even further.

Despite the huge numbers of death and harms the world over remains full steam ahead for the shots. Occam's razor; the simple answer is the correct answer: DEPOPULATION!

THE COVID-19 VACCINE IS KILLING PEOPLE ON A LARGE SCALE.  IT IS A DEPOPULATION PROGRAM AND IF YOU TAKE THE VACCINE YOU ARE TAKING AN MRNA GENE EDITING SERUM. 

 IT WILL NEVER TURN OFF AND YOU WILL BECOME SICK AND EVENTUALLY EVERYONE WHO TOOK THIS VACCINE WILL DIE.

Harms and Deaths  

1. No virus has been isolated in a lab.

2. Overall mortality numbers remained static in year one (pre-vaxx).

3. The flu literally disappeared.

4. They openly state that deaths were co-morbidities and included anyone WITH "Covid" rather than it being a cause of death.

5. Even Kary Mullis stated that the PCR is not a diagnostic tool.

6. All aspects of the narrative have been disproven time and time again.

7. The killer virus is everywhere on TV but nowhere to be found in real life.

8. The vaccines were "created" in a matter of days.

9. But Covid is totally real.

Zen Koan for the virus

by Jon Rappoport

(To read about Jon's mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)

Question: How do you prevent a disease that has no cause? Get back to me after contemplating this for 10 years. The so-called disease, COVID, is touted as the result of a virus, but the virus doesn’t exist. Nevertheless, a vaccine aimed at beefing up the immune system against the virus that doesn’t exist is heralded as a miracle. There is also a test for the virus that doesn’t exist. People fear the virus that doesn’t exist. Whole countries are locked down to stop the spread of the virus that doesn’t exist. People wear masks to stop the transmission of the virus that doesn’t exist. People with no symptoms are called cases of the disease caused by the virus that doesn’t exist. The vaccine can’t stop the transmission of the virus that doesn’t exist. The federal database lists over a million injuries reported after the vaccination which was designed to prevent the disease caused by the virus that doesn’t exist. People who refuse the vaccination designed to prevent the disease caused by the virus that doesn’t exist are called criminals or even terrorists. The virus that doesn’t exist will spread at a small party in a person’s home, but the virus that doesn’t exist will detour around waves of immigrants coming into the country. The virus that doesn’t exist was created in a lab. The overwhelming percentage of people who die from infection by the virus that doesn’t exist are the elderly, who already have several long-standing serious health problems and have been treated for decades with toxic drugs, and are then given more toxic drugs to kill the virus that doesn’t exist and are sedated with powerful drugs and put on breathing ventilators---a lethal treatment. There are at least two variants of the virus that doesn’t exist. There are doctors who heavily criticize the current vaccines, but claim that a safe and successful vaccine can be developed to prevent the disease caused by the virus that doesn’t exist. Other than all of the above, the global public COVID policy is quite sane. ~~~ (The link to this article posted on my blog is here.) Thanks Jon DYI
