Plague or no Plague, that is the Question

plague doctor cosplay in baku interior

Claims spreading like wildfire on social media say a lab worker in Russia “dropped a glass test tube which smashed on the floor and was exposed to Pneumonic Plague.  She died two days later.” 

This is fake news and panic slop.

The ACTUAL situation is the following:   In parts of Russia, particularly the Siberian and Far Eastern steppes, plague is endemic in some local animal populations – rodents and the like, ground squirrels in particular.

Sometimes people get infected, just like in other parts of the world with endemic plague (e.g. the western US, where people also sometimes catch plague from prairie dogs and such). Plague is not a dangerous epidemiological threat these days, it is easily treated with antibiotics.

A woman in Irkutsk, who worked at an institute for combating these endemic plague populations (this has been going on for many decades, but it’s tricky to eradicate it completely) fell ill with pneumonia of unknown etiology. She died in the hospital.

The woman had been on a work trip to Buryatia to study one of those animal populations with endemic plague just before she fell ill. Because of this and the fact that her pneumonia was of unknown etiology, the hospital where she was treated and people she had contact with were put in quarantine as a precautionary measure.

A suspected pneumonic plague diagnosis was NOT confirmed during the autopsy of the woman who died.

The Siberian “Plague” the Ventilator, and the mRNA That Was Already Waiting!!!

Theater set labeled “FAKE PANDEMIC,” with signs reading “MEDIA EVENT,” “DON’T PANIC, IT’S A SHOW,” “PROP SYMPTOMS,” “THEATER PRODUCTION,” “ACTORS ONLY,” “CONTAGION: THE SCRIPT,” “CUT!,” “COUGH COUGH! (FAKE),” “PANDEMIC PROTOCOL—TAKE 3,” and “READ THE SCRIPT.”

As usual, it’s all BS! The official story from Russia says there is no risk at this time and yet the media pundits are screaming about a new pandemic, just like 6 years ago. Wouldn’t you know it, they have a mRNA shot just waiting for ya.

Resisting the Rise of a Masonic World Order

Stacked televisions showing protests, maps, charts, and distorted news broadcasts

By Julian Rose at Global Research. Reposted with permission.

Most meaningful conversations questioning what drives the malign forces controlling our planet, do not examine the degree to which political, military and religious leadership has chosen to turn to Satanic forces in their craving for absolute power, prestige and wealth.

After saturation of the ‘official’ version of the events of 9/11 carried by mainstream media to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the destruction of the twin towers, one can testify to the extent of the globally coordinated grand deception that was put together to try to befool us into accepting the mainstream reporting of this event.  

What becomes increasingly clear is the degree to which the majority of the population are prepared to live the lie – and that this lie covers the full spectrum of mechanisms governing our daily lives: 21st century civilisation.  

What do I mean by this?

I mean, that the deception that underlies the ‘official version’ of 9/11 events and the subsequent inception of ‘the war on terror’, penetrates all aspects of contemporary top down governance and therefore colours every aspect of our lives. And since life is a dynamic event, nothing remains static. So unless a wave of consciousness raises our awareness and enables us to seriously influence the status quo, everything gets worse.    

This calculated life distortion incorporates a paranormal level. A Masonic activation.   

To illustrate the point, two aspects of 9/11 provide the irrefutable evidence of the grand deception built into the event and the way it was reported. 

Image: Screenshot photo of BBC reporter Jane Standley as she was live-reporting on the collapse of World Trade Center #7 a half hour before it actually was imploded. Someone in contact with the BBC (other than Mayor Rudy Guiliani) had foreknowledge of the demolition, a certain sign of a conspiracy.

Firstly we witnessed live coverage of a BBC announcer describing the collapse of the third building while it is plainly visible, untouched in the background, as seen through the glass window of the studio. The news reader simply got out of sink with her script and the not yet detonated third building was still standing, unscathed, as she announced its collapse.    

The second example – and there are many more others will remember – is that the towers came down in just 7 seconds. Expert engineers testified that this could only be achieved by a professionally executed controlled demolition. 

The macabre series of events of 11 September (11 = twin towers) 2001 extend into every aspect of the genocide. Film crews were perfectly in place to record what looks to be a plane flying into the second tower. I remember the calm voice of the BBC newsreader announcing “And now we see a plane is hitting the second tower”. 

All this has strongly occult overtones. The event was, I believe, prepared and performed with the aid of paranormal forces working in tandem with a Masonic priesthood, made up of those in high positions of government and the military.

George Bush’s completely unperturbed ‘non reaction’ on receiving the news while addressing a group of school children, reveals a key piece of evidence concerning the role played by non sentient, psychopathic individuals within the masterminding of such incidences.

Demons are real. Very real. They are not human, but can be induced to enter humans via high ritual Masonic practices and other such enticements of Satanic forces in secretive centres of dark worship.

Masons have access to a huge number of ‘lodges’ particularly in North America and Europe. They appear, on the surface, to be benign, even socially engaged, establishments. Many participants of the lower order have no idea what goes on at the top and strongly deny any wrong doing.

Now enlarge that general level of ignorance into the workings of society as a whole and you will see that this is how the majority see those who imprison them, politically, militarily and psychologically. It’s the same theater in both cases.

‘The war on terror’ announced by George Bush in the aftermath of 9/11 should more aptly be named ‘the war of terror’, for that is how the ‘elite’/occult partnership achieves its ambitions. Everything is turned into an inversion of its true self, spreading fear as the underlying emotional factor.

Image: Saddam Hussein

Witness how Saddam Hussein was falsely accused of being in direct possession of weapons of mass destruction when in reality there were no such weapons and much of his reign involved supporting his people in food and water restoration projects, not posing any direct threat to the West.

Witness how Russia was turned into the chief villain of our times by fabricated stories of its hegemonic interests and then the deliberate taunting by NATO, overtly breaking its stated pledge to never move further East that the line of the Berlin wall.

Witness the World Health Organisation declaring a global pandemic and mass lockdown on zero empirical evidence of a deadly ‘corona virus’. 

Caste your mind back to the Netanyahu decree that only the obliteration of Gaza and the eradication of the Palestinian people would atone for the break-out and resulting killings of October 7th 2023. Recall that Netanyahu declared ‘it is God’s will’ for such a vast genocide of innocent men, women and children to be perpetrated.

Witness how Trump’s plans to create peace in Gaza, turned out to be plans to turn it into a property development racket with not a Palestinian in site.

These examples are just the tip of the iceberg of recent overt reversals of our innate human aspiration for justice, peace and love – proclaiming instead the complete inversion of these, including the inversion of the pursuit of truth.

Most meaningful conversations questioning what drives the malign forces controlling our planet, do not examine the degree to which political, military and religious ‘leadership’ has chosen to turn to Satanic forces in their craving for absolute power, prestige and wealth.

The cowardly and completely irrational ‘fear of Israel’ which – amongst other things – causes no  serious action to be taken by wealthy Western nations to block the radical Zionist inspired bloodbath of Gaza and the forced evacuation of Palestinians from their homes in the West Bank, is an expression of how far a subconscious acceptance of evil has penetrated political institutions, banking, military and technocratic state authorities. Ultimately finding its way into the feeble minds of ordinary citizens.

Image: Yuval Harari (Ted Talk video screenshot)

There is a reluctance of many ‘down the rabbit hole’ activists to see that the transhuman ideal promoted by the World Economic Forum (Yuval Noah Harari) and the recent explosion of AI robotics have their source in the same anti life cult that conceived and executed the 9/11 monster.

Here one has to be open to recognising the existence of an otherworldly dimension of inverted and twisted values that are used to deliberately distort the wave patterns of natural human communication and then present the distorted outcomes as ‘the reality’. To the extent that society as a whole now operates according to a fake version of what we term ‘real’ or ‘true life’.

The New World Order, Great Reset, Agenda 2030, Net Zero agendas are all based upon a collaboration with these same other dimensional, sycophantic, insentient, anti-life entities.

A negative energy which has been explicitly invited to operate through the medium of individual earthbound humans. Those who call upon such entities to give them power over sentient, empathetic members of the human race, and to thereby control the destiny of the planet.

The great majority of mankind has utterly failed to recognise and counteract this highly destructive practice. That is why things are as bad as they are. 

Since Donald Trump became president of the United States we have become accustomed to witnessing the resulting megalomania at first hand. Trump’s pick of hard nosed, ruthless billionaires  given executive positions in his cabinet, has pushed such megalomania ever further into our midst.

This is not to ignore Elon Musk’s claim to rule the world along with Bill Gates, Black Rock, the City of London and that clique of Silicon Valley super egos who coolly create their toxic soup of binary digital abstractions and seductively smart ‘bots’.

None of this expresses Life, in the genuinely human understanding of this word. It is an imposed Matrix devised by sub human entities devoid of an emotional flow and with hearts of stone. 

We sentient, warm empathetic humans are the last true representatives of the life gifted us by a benign universal power. We chose to nurture our powers of discernment, responsibility and love and not to sell our souls to the materialistic/hedonistic enticements on sale in every corner of the world.

We are therefore keepers of an irreplaceable gift which gives us the power to fight for the redemption and expansion of the very uncorrupted and omnipotent life force which the demonic entities wish to drive into extinction and replace on this planet with soulless tech-infused human replicas: ‘transhumans’.

They worship advanced technology as their god, their master. It is the weapon of choice for the take-over of our living, breathing, radiant planet. We sentient empathetic humans are its one line of resistance. They know our powers are greater than theirs, but count on convincing us that this is not the case.

Their most dangerous weapon is the perpetual ‘provocation of fear’, followed by the enticement of humans into a seductive and energy sapping fascination/addiction to convenience and comfort: ‘Smart Syndrome’ as symbolised by the all singing dancing Smart Phone.  Just consider how much easier it has made ‘getting on with life as usual’ in the status quo.

The combination of these has proved a near lethal cocktail for check-mating the dynamic of human evolution.

But here we are, and everyday we are made increasingly aware of the existence of a self imposed and externally imposed dilemma – as well as of our latent power to exercise a dynamic that puts us back in touch with our universal spiritual origins and upwardly rising evolutionary instincts, of which love and deep respect for life are paramount.

We are the red line beyond which the vampiric stealers of our energy will not pass. Be fully prepared to stand firm and to be the vanguard of the new resistance. This is our prerogative, our responsibility, our imperative – and by acting together, we can be confident of a great victory.

Naomi Klein put it very simply in a recent interview about her and Astra Taylor’s latest book ‘End Times Fascism: “We have to find our places of love and fight like hell”.

I call on all of us to join the resistance – because its nothing less than a fight to save the glorious, multifarious and vibrant expressions of Life on Earth. 

This struggle for Life is what defines humanity from inhumanity and always will. Let no one stand passively on the sidelines while evolution itself is being put into reverse.

Editors note: While Julian does a great job exposing the spiritual warfare side of what’s going on today, he fails to show the solution as putting our faith in Jesus and instead puts it into mankind having an “awakening”. This is the new age mantra of putting faith into man evolving spiritually on his own which has never worked in over 6000 years. Romans 3 10-12 explains this well.

As it is written, there is none righteous, no not one: There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

You can also see this same theme in Psalm 14:1-3, and Psalm 53:1-3. Without being born again spiritually through Jesus Christ it’s impossible for mankind to be good. Seek Him NOW while He can still be found! He is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father but through Him! John 14:6.

FAMINE ALERT! Nations are Preparing for the Worst Food Crisis in History!

little child eating on a desert

In today’s video report we are contiuing our coverage of events that are fulfiling Revelation 6 along with other prophecies! The diesel fuel crisis continues to get worse as the average price is now over $6 per gallon for the first time in US history with no end in sight!

The biggest issue is no fertilizer is coming out of Saudi Arabia, not just the oil and fuel that’s been taken offline by the Houthis. Here is an excerpt from Hal Turner’s article.

So Saudi Arabia being boxed-in and being unable to ship oil or oil-related products, or fertilizer, was “the straw that broke the camels back.”  Not because of oil . . . . because of fertilizers.   

Brazil is one of the world’s largest food exporters.

But even Brazil is now collapsing because of food.  Their general public has not been told.

They import 80% of their fertilizer, urea and sulfur.

All these imports are now blocked! Read the rest by clicking here.

Remember like we always say, have no fear just keep praying and prepping. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

The 25th Anniversary of 9-11 and the Jeffrey Epstein Connections

Emergency Response after 9/11 attacks

I don’t cover the events of 9-11 much because it’s all been rehashed over and over again. We all know about building 7, the dancing Israelis, the magical passports that just floated to the ground and more.

Today we’re going to learn about some of the Epstein connections that some key players had and still have including our current Sec. of Commerce Howard Lutnick. Here is more from Geo Politics Prime.

🤔🗣 Was 9/11 an inside job? What the Epstein files taught us

The DoJ’s Epstein library is a dumpster fire of redactions, missing documents, omissions and padding, but does offer important insights into the Epstein class’s perception and foreknowledge of the deadliest act of terror on US soil.

🔶 A month after the attacks, Ghislaine Maxwell fantasized in an email about exterminating Arabs “in response” to 9/11. The Clean Break memo, written for Netanyahu in 1996 by arch-neocons who would later join the Bush administration, became a blueprint for doing just that in the decades that followed.

🔶 In 2003, Maxwell was invited to join a “Shadow Commission on 9/11” – a secret, unofficial group standing apart from the US government’s official 9/11 Commission (a total sham in its own right).

🔶 Close Epstein associate and neighbor Howard Lutnick knew to stay out of the World Trade Center on the morning of 9/11, ostensibly to take his son to kindergarten. His company, Cantor Fitzgerald, lost over 650 employees that day. Lutnick later created a fake 9/11 charity, profiting off victims’ suffering.

Lutnick has been a key business partner of Larry Silverstein, the Israel-linked real estate mogul who leased the Twin Towers in July 2001, and collected on a big fat $4.55B insurance payout after they fell. Silverstein’s firm and Cantor Fitzgerald enjoyed a fruitful partnership for decades. In 2019, NYC real estate developer David Mitchell sent Epstein the details on their latest project. Silverstein also happily knew to stay away from the towers the day of the attacks.

🔶 Other members of Epstein’s inner circle also knew to do the same, with Sarah Ferguson, Epstein confidant and ex-wife of Andrew, just missing being in one of the buildings due to a “lucky” morning interview and heavy NY traffic afterwards.

🔶 Ferguson and her ex-husband Andrew also introduced Epstein to Saudi businessman Adel Ghazzawi, whose Florida family home was visited by three of named “hijackers” before the attacks.

🔶 Epstein was heavily involved in 9/11’s fallout long after the attacks, warning MBS in 2016 about the danger of US court judgements seizing Saudi assets under the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA), and promising to help tie up JASTA-linked litigation using connections to former Obama White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler and independent counsel Kenneth Starr.

🔶 Epstein’s ties to the Mossad and Israel’s links to 9/11 are their own rabbit hole to go down. Suffice it to say that there are plenty of oddities around Israel’s behavior, from the ‘dancing Israelis’ caught in New Jersey that day, to Mossad founder Isser Harel’s 1970s prediction that ‘Islamist terrorists’ would target NY’s tallest buildings, to a Kabballist rabbi praying for the WTC to fall during a visit to NYC a week before it happened, to Netanyahu’s infamous comment about the attacks being “very good” for Israel-US ties.

Revealed: DHS Predictive Policing Unit Tracking Americans’ Money

Rugged canyon landscape overlaid with glowing digital mapping grids at dusk

This is as Orwellian as it gets and it’s all being done in SECRET, with SECRET charges levied by this new CBP unit that I guarantee you is 100% unconstitutional! That’s the thing about the Constitution, you have to have people with MORALS in the government to enforce it. We don’t. The US constitution is DEAD and Trump killed it on March 13th 2020. Here is more from New Republic.

The Department of Homeland Security is running a police unit that uses Americans’ financial records to predict whether they could commit crimes and is turning over their names to local police.

404 Media reports that the DHS’s Predictive Intelligence Targeting Teams, or PITT, are feeding intelligence to local law enforcement, who are then pulling people over who are not suspected of any specific crimes. In one case, a PITT unit analyzed the financial activity of Kyle Olson, who was driving across Montana. Local police pulled him over, claiming that his license plate was obstructed. He was later charged with a DUI, according to the publication.

The documents from that case are what led to 404 Media’s discovery. Olson was provided a DHS document explaining the rationale behind his traffic stop, written by Border Patrol Agent Matthew Phelps, who is assigned to the “Spokane Sector Border Patrol Targeting & Intelligence Division (TID)—Predictive Intelligence Targeting Team (PITT).”

Phelps wrote that his job entails reviewing “law enforcement–sensitive databases,” including financial activity, to build intelligence before the government hands it over to local police. Phelps handed over “information contained within law enforcement-sensitive systems suggesting financial activity patterns commonly associated with illicit narcotics activity,” the document states. He handed it over to Montana Highway Patrol, who pulled over Olson.

“It was relayed to me by U.S. Border Patrol targeting analyst Matthew Phelps that he had identified a vehicle that had indicators of possible narcotics trafficking,” wrote Sergeant James Beck of the Montana Highway Patrol. Olson had marijuana edibles, marijuana cuttings, and butane hash oil in his car from his job at a licensed cannabis farm in California, which he was transporting to his home in Wisconsin.

At least one PITT unit is based near Spokane, Washington, and patrols the U.S.-Canada border, while another is based near Laredo, Texas, near the border with Mexico. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, which is also part of DHS, already uses automatic license plate readers, and those are integrated into the agency’s predictive policing tactics.

The concept is ostensibly to find people who may have already committed crimes, but 404 Media didn’t find any instances of this occurring. Instead, the government seems to be using predictive policing to create pretexts to pull over and detain people. Border Patrol refused to answer the publication’s questions about what financial activity it’s monitoring, and if it had a warrant to pull over Olson.

A CPB spokesperson told 404 Media in an email that “U.S. Border Patrol uses intelligence-informed analysis and planning to support national security operations, allocate resources, and help identify potential threats and bad actors to public safety. These efforts are conducted consistent with applicable law, policy, privacy protections, and oversight requirements.

“For operational security reasons, we do not discuss specific analytical methods, data sources, targeting criteria, investigative techniques, system capabilities, or deployment details. Public disclosure of such information could compromise law enforcement operations and investigations as well as creating safety risks for agents and the public,” the statement said.

The units raise a number of disturbing questions about whether the Trump administration is obtaining data illegally, then using it to illegally charge people with crimes. The Trump administration has shown numerous times that it’s willing to flout the Constitution, and in this age of mass surveillance, it doesn’t seem to feel limited in any way.

Netanyahu Was Warned 10 Days Before Hamas Attack

Just like the American government who knew the attacks of 9-11 were coming, the Israelis knew that the Oct. 7th attacks were coming.

This was another sacrifice of who the Zionists label their “lesser brethren”, in order to justify their genocidal wars against Gaza, The West Bank, Southern Lebanon and Syria. The Zionists did the same thing during WW2 as well, that time in order to justify getting their new homeland in Palestine.

Don’t be fooled by the Zionists in Israel or the ones that infiltrated the Church in the West and call themselves Judeo/Christian, God has no seperate covenant with those living on His land in Palestine. Unless and until they accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah, they are outside of the New Covenant. See John 14:6 for reference.

Israeli PM Netanyahu was reportedly warned about October 7 attacks 10 days beforehand, did nothing to step up security

Norway Illegally Seizes Russian Ship in the Arctic

Illustration showing Russian ship marked РОССИЯ and ЗАХВАЧЕНО НЕЗАКОННО!, surrounded by KYSTVAKT boats marked KV-50.

By Lucas Leiroz de Almeida at Global Research. Reposted with permission.

Western nations continue to provoke Russia through illegal measures against Russian vessels abroad.

Now, Norway has seized a Russian ship in the Arctic, acting on a direct request from the Kiev neo-Nazi regime.

Such actions are intolerable under international law and demonstrate the willingness of Ukraine and the West to escalate and internationalize their disputes with Russia.  

The incident took place in the Norwegian region of Svalbard. The Russian vessel “Professor Molchanov” was seized by local authorities on September 3 in an operation led by the Governor of Svalbard. The regional government office stated that the decision to seize the ship was made by the Nord-Troms and Senja District Court, which had reportedly ruled in favor of the Ukrainian energy company Naftogaz in a legal request to seize Russian assets.   

At the time of its seizure, the Russian ship was docked in Barentsburg – an Arctic mining settlement administered by Russia. Barentsburg was acquired by the USSR in the 1930s, and an agreement was subsequently signed with Norway to allow for free Russian exploration within the archipelago. Therefore, the Russian Federation’s right – as the successor state to the USSR – to operate in Barentsburg remains guaranteed by prevailing norms of international law, and it is not up to Norway to unilaterally alter this legal status.  

Any decision regarding freedom of navigation and exploration in Barentsburg could only be made through legal proceedings involving Russia directly, held before an international arbitration court. Current international agreements regulate Russian activities in the region and guarantees the Russian energy company Arktikugol the right to explore minerals in the archipelago. Furthermore, the Professor Molchanov is not a mere minerals transport ship, but a scientific vessel used to facilitate geological research in the Arctic. The right to conduct scientific exploration is guaranteed by international norms, making the Norwegian action even more unlawful.  

Regarding the reasons for the move, Ukraine’s Naftogaz stated that it sought the vessel’s seizure as part of its strategy to enforce a 2014 arbitration ruling – a decision Russia has deemed unlawful, since the proceedings were politically biased amidst the tensions in Crimea at the time. That ruling by a Hague arbitration tribunal ordered Russia to pay for financial assets Ukraine claimed to have lost following Crimea’s reunification with Russian territory.  

Russia, however, denounced the tribunal, asserting that such assets could not be considered legitimate financial investments under the terms of its bilateral agreements with Ukraine. Furthermore, the political nature of the legal proceedings alone would be sufficient to invalidate any decision reached by the court, given that Russia was already previously facing condemnation for its initiative to reintegrate Crimea.  

Naftogaz now accuses Moscow of owing it a debt of over 4 billion dollars, a figure that could reportedly rise even further due to accumulated interest and legal costs. To secure payment of this amount, the company is pursuing a strategy of seizing Russian state assets, with the arrest of the vessel Professor Molchanov being part of that plan. Not by chance, Naftogaz chief Sergey Fedorenko publicly commented on the Norwegian maneuver, describing it as “another important step toward restoring justice,” and promising to take further actions of this type against Russian state assets.  

A particularly interesting point is that the current move takes place amidst a trend – already initiated by Western nations – of seizing Russian ships sailing abroad. This practice can be described as a form of modern-day piracy and is prohibited by various international legal instruments. Nevertheless, Western countries continue to escalate their actions, maintaining constant provocations against Moscow.  

In any case, the Norwegian move sets a dangerous precedent. As the seizure of vessels in the Arctic region becomes commonplace, more local actors will start employing such tactics against their adversaries. Over time, this will inevitably undermine peaceful mining and scientific exploration, turning the region into an unsafe and hostile zone where geopolitical disputes and international rivalries overshadow cooperation.  

Moreover, Moscow is exercising patience with the West regarding this issue. Russia is not retaliating and refuses to use its navy to arrest foreign vessels, even though it could do so based on the right to self-defense and a response to external aggression. At some point, however, Russian patience may finally run out, causing all the Western countries involved in these provocations to ultimately feel the consequences of their own irresponsible actions.
