STUDY: Green tea, black tea and matcha tea found to suppress dioxin toxicity

(Natural News) If the Department of Transportation does not take hazardous materials seriously when trains are derailed; if the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not make it a priority to protect communities from carcinogens like dioxins; then it’s up to the people to protect their bodies from the negligence of government and industry.

Thankfully, scientific literature provides evidence that green tea, black tea, and matcha tea suppress dioxin toxicity. In much the same way that vitamin D, vitamin C, and licorice root extracts could have been delivered to communities during covid-19 outbreaks, these medicinal teas could be shipped to residents of East Palestine, Ohio and other heavily exposed areas to help protect people from the many diseases caused by dioxins.

Dioxin toxicity thwarted by green tea pigments and black tea theaflavins

Dioxins are formed from the burning of hydrogen and chlorinated compounds. Industrial processes, house fires, and trash burns all unleash these carcinogens into the atmosphere. Once dioxins enter the lungs, they readily make their way into the bloodstream. Once inside the body, dioxins incorporate into fatty tissue, in adipose tissue, and in the hepatic lipid stores, where they possess a half-life of 4 to 15 years.

Dioxins also enter the body through dietary exposures. Once inside the body, dioxins transform the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), allowing dioxins to bind and disrupt cell cycles. Remarkably, the pigments in green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) suppress the transformation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor induced by dioxins, particularly 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD).

In the study, chlorophyll a and b, epigallocatechin gallate, and lutein from the green tea leaves acted as a novel antagonist for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor. These pigments suppressed AhR transformation in a dose dependent manner. Epigallocatechin gallate is the most abundant flavonoid in green tea leaves; compared to other major tea components, epigallocatechin gallate had the strongest suppressive effect on the AhR transformation.

Four theaflavins in black tea also suppress the AhR, blocking dioxins and their toxic effects. In the study, theaflavin, theaflavin-3-gallate, theaflavin-3′-gallate, and theaflavin-3,3′-digallate inhibited the binding of TCDD to the AhR.

Matcha tea protects rodents from dioxin damage, helps clear the liver of dioxins

In a rodent study, various groups of rats were poisoned with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF) congeners, and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) congeners. For five days, the rodents were then given a diet containing 10% matcha tea. For days 6-10, the rodents were administered 4 grams of the 10% matcha diet containing 0.5 ml of the casual rice-bran oil of Yusho. Matcha tea comes from the same plant as green tea, but is is prepared in a different way.

After the treatment protocol, the scientists monitored the fecal excretion of PCB, PCDF and PCDD. The rodent groups that were given the 10% matcha tea diet excreted the dioxins 2.4 to 9.1 times higher than the control group (that didn’t receive the matcha tea diet). The scientists also investigated the liver distribution of PCB, PCDF, and PCDD in the same groups of rodents. The rodents on the matcha tea diet had 21% to 80% less distribution of dioxins in their livers. The matcha tea protected the cells and allowed their bodies to remove the dioxins from their livers.

These studies are great news for people who were recently exposed to high levels of dioxins from the ecological disaster that was allowed to take place in East Palestine, Ohio. Green tea, black tea, and matcha tea are excellent sources of antioxidants and were designed with precision to protect the body from the toxic man-made sciences of the day.

Which foods contain the highest levels of dioxins and how do they get into the food supply?

Image: Which foods contain the highest levels of dioxins and how do they get into the food supply?

(Natural News) Industrial processes that involve chlorine and hydrocarbons spontaneously create a class of chemical byproducts called dioxins. The most toxic byproduct – the standard bearer for dioxin toxicity – is 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD).

The dioxin disaster in East Palestine, Ohio has shed light on one of the most persistent cancer-causing toxins in our environment and food supply. More people are asking: What are dioxins? Where do they come from? Which foods contain the highest levels?

Dioxins have been slowly infiltrating the environment and food supply for decades

Dioxins come primarily from pulp and paper bleaching, from herbicide and pesticide manufacturing, from the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics, and from waste incineration, house fires, and trash burns. For instance, the intentional burning of 1.1 million pounds of vinyl chloride (a chlorinated compound) in East Palestine, Ohio, unleashed a catastrophic quantity of dioxins into the environment.

There is no safe level for dioxin exposure, but these chemicals have been slowly infiltrating the environment and the food supply for decades. A 1994 EPA report found dioxin levels in the general US population that are “at or near levels associated with adverse health effects.”

Dioxins cause immunosuppression

Dioxins are one of the main chemicals behind immunosuppression in humans. They are creating the conditions in the body for reoccurring sickness, hormonal problems, cancer, and other diseases. Dioxin toxicity has long been revered; these chemicals were once the primary poisonous component used in Agent Orange. Dioxin contamination led to the complete evacuation of Seveso, Italy and was the reason why Times Beach, MO became a ghost town. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) placed TCDD in the Group 1 carcinogen category, meaning it’s a known human carcinogen. In fact, the scientific literature classifies TCDD as a mutagen, capable of damaging DNA and affecting the DNA of unexposed descendants.

Foods with the highest level of dioxins include milk, beef, and farmed fish

Dioxins are fat soluble and are therefore able to make their way up the food chain with ease. Most dioxin exposure comes from meat and dairy products. Nearly a quarter of all dioxin consumption (23%) comes from milk and dairy products. Other tops sources include beef, pork, poultry, fish, and eggs. Farmed, freshwater fish accumulate a heavy dose of dioxins. In lactating mothers, the dioxins ultimately permeate her breast milk, exposing the developing infant.

Free range farming introduces dioxins into food supply

Dioxins and PCBs enter the food chain orally. When free range farm animals ingest roughage, water, soil, worms, and insects, they inevitably take in the dioxins in the environment. Compound feed and feed supplements also introduce dioxins to the animals, but to a lesser extent. A German study found that compound feed was significantly less contaminated with dioxins than roughage and succulent feed.

Vegan diet most protective against dioxin exposure

A May 2001 study investigated dioxins in foods and compared diets. The vegan diet was the safest. “The category with the lowest [dioxin] level was a simulated vegan diet…” the study concluded. “Blood dioxin levels in pure vegans have also been found to be very low in comparison with the general population, indicating a lower contribution of these foods to human dioxin body burden.”

Additionally, a plant-based diet has a higher likelihood of blocking the toxic effects of dioxins in the body. Once inside the body, dioxins transform the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). This allows the dioxins to bind and disrupt cell cycles, interfering with hormones and DNA. Studies show that pigments in green tea leaves, (Camellia sinensis) chlorophyll, and the theaflavins in black tea suppress the transformation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor, protecting the cells from dioxin’s toxic effects. This protective effect pushes more of the dioxins out of the body before the majority get stored in the fatty tissue.

DERANGED DOCTORS: Florida physician allegedly called for the unvaccinated to be shot to death in a Nazi-style firing line

Image: DERANGED DOCTORS: Florida physician allegedly called for the unvaccinated to be shot to death in a Nazi-style firing line

(Natural News) During World War II, prisoners of Nazi death camps were routinely sent to the firing line for extermination if they stepped out of line. And one Florida doctor would like to see this same thing happen again, except this time to hospital workers who refuse to get “vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19).

Dr. Daniel B. Case, a complaint alleges, harassed and bullied other employees at Sarasota Memorial Hospital in Florida over their vaccination status. At least one of them had a direct altercation with Case, who suggested medical fascism as the solution to freedom of choice.

On Sept. 10, 2021, a Sarasota Memorial Hospital worker filed a complaint with hospital head Lorrie Liang about a negative encounter with Case, who interrogated this individual about whether or not he or she had gotten injected for the Chinese Flu.

“I answered ‘no,’” the worker said in the complaint.

“Then [Case] asked ‘Are you going to get vaccinated? Biden made it mandatory last night. I said “No. I’m not.’ He asked “Why not? You can get terminated.’ I replied ‘Because that’s my freedom of choice.’”

Case then allegedly responded to the colleague by stating that this person and all other unvaccinated people “are the reason why people are dying and why covid is spreading.”

“So I asked him ‘Really Dr. Case?? You really saying this stuff??!’ Then he said ‘When you guys get fired then we’ll have a party and Darwinism will do it’s [sic] work.’ Then I said ‘that’s [sic] sounds kind of Fascist of you to say such a thing! Are you a Fascist??’ Then he said ‘see that’s why they should take you guys to the firing line.’”

Brighteon.TV

(Related: Marlaina Danielle Smith, Alberta, Canada’s newest premier, says she has never seen a group of people discriminated against to the degree that the unvaccinated are.)

Sarasota Memorial Hospital compiled lists of unvaccinated staff members to send to “re-education”

In essence, Case admitted – assuming the claims are true – that he is, in fact, a fascist as fascists were the culprits who sent “undesirables” to the firing lines in WWII as well.

Under the leadership of Dr. Jonathan Hoffberger, the facility’s chief of staff, Sarasota Memorial Hospital is apparently ground-zero for medical fascism in the Tampa Bay area of Florida.

A number of nurses at the hospital say that higher-ups compiled lists bearing the names of all unvaccinated staff members, who are to be subjected to a “re-education session.” This sounds a whole lot like the concentration camps that were erected in Nazi Germany to reprogram prisoners.

Not only that, but Sarasota Memorial Hospital also ordered all unvaccinated workers to wear the equivalent of yellow star armbands. They were told they must “isolate during meal times” to avoid potentially infecting the vaccinated with covid germs.

Sarasota Memorial Hospital even created a color-coded stick system to mark on employee badges who was vaccinated and who was unvaccinated. We are told that sticker system was never actually implemented.

Hoffberger himself, a cardiac surgeon, reportedly held a personal grudge against the non-jabbed, whom he often yelled at. In some cases, he refused to perform open-heart surgery on a patient because he or she had not taken any mRNA injections.

On social media, Hoffberger blasted the unvaccinated for choosing to do their “own research,” which he mocked as inferior to his own self-perceived superiority.

“STOP DOING ‘YOUR OWN RESEARCH!’” Hoffberger yelled in one post, along with a photo bearing the caption:

“Myth: ‘I’ve had COVID-19, so I don’t need to be vaccinated because I have antibodies.”

Climate change study calls for World War II-style rationing of meat and fuel

Image: Climate change study calls for World War II-style rationing of meat and fuel

(Natural News) The culture-destroying left is continuing to use the institute of science to push their ideological agenda of population reduction and control under the phony guise of ‘combatting climate change.’

The latest effort is a new “study” claiming that World War II-style rationing (but only for the West, of course) of meat and fossil fuels is in order to ensure the planet’s climate doesn’t wipe us all out.

“In this paper, we argue that rationing has been neglected as a policy option for mitigating climate change. There is a broad scientific consensus that avoiding the most severe impacts of climate change requires a rapid reduction in global emissions,” says an abstract of the study.

“We argue that rationing could help states reduce emissions rapidly and fairly. Our arguments in this paper draw on economic analysis and historical research into rationing in the UK during (and after) the two world wars, highlighting success stories and correcting misconceptions. However, although the empirical details play an important role, the paper is primarily based on philosophical and ethical argument and policy analysis, particularly highlighting the normative assumptions behind policy choices,” the abstract continues.

It goes on to say:

This paper argues that rationing has been neglected as a climate change mitigation policy option. Indeed, it may be that it is not merely neglected, but is considered by many to be an unpalatable option. Raj Patel has suggested that ‘rationing is about as acceptable a topic of conversation as hemorrhoids’ (Patel, quoted in (Cox, Citation2013, back cover)). In this paper, however, we argue that rationing could plausibly play an important role in an effective and fair means of reducing emissions and is therefore worthy of serious consideration.

Brighteon.TV

One of few authors to explicitly propose the adoption of rationing to mitigate climate change is the historian Mark Roodhouse. In his discussion of wartime rationing, Mark Roodhouse explains that ‘in 1939 and 1940 the government rejected proposals to rely upon increased taxation to cut consumption because the impact of tax rises would be slow and inequitable’ (Roodhouse, Citation2007).

This quote highlights the fact that, as well as being fairer than taxes, Roodhouse considers rationing to be more effective in achieving results quickly. Writing about climate change in particular, Roodhouse concludes that rationing would be more effective than a carbon tax if a government wanted ‘to reduce carbon emissions quickly and dramatically’.

A rationing scheme could also have broader applications, the researchers state.

“The concept of rationing could help, not only in the mitigation of climate change,” said joint lead author Dr. Nathan Wood, “but also in reference to a variety of other social and political issues – such as the current energy crisis.”

“The cost of living crisis has shown what happens when scarcity drives up prices, with energy prices rising steeply and leaving vulnerable groups unable to pay their bills. Currently, those living in energy poverty cannot use anywhere near their fair share of energy supply, whereas the richest in society are free to use as much energy as they can afford,” he added, according to Science Daily.

While currently just a research study, its significance could escalate rapidly as we approach 2030, a pivotal year for the UN’s Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Accords. It is apparent that the world will not fulfill its obligations, and this could amplify the importance of the study.

There are already efforts underway to curb individual mobility and consumption, and more such initiatives are likely to follow. The concept of “15-minute cities” has faced significant criticism around the world, with pilot tests due to be conducted in Oxford, which has also generated controversy.

Starting from 2024, the Oxford City Council plans to divide the city into six distinct “neighborhoods,” and heavily restrict car travel between them. Unauthorized travel will result in fines. Oxford residents can apply for special permits, which will allow them to drive into other neighborhoods for up to 100 days per year. Beyond that, they will need to rely on public transportation, cycling, or walking to move between neighborhoods.

The left doesn’t build societies and cultures; it tears them down so that people can be enslaved. We deserve what we get if we allow this to happen.

Cancer-causing compound potentially spreading across Eastern Ohio

Image: Cancer-causing compound potentially spreading across Eastern Ohio

(Natural News) Following the Ohio train derailment, Senator Sherrod Brown and Senator J.D. Vance wrote to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and its state counterpart to request more information about the potential spread of dioxin in East Palestine, Ohio.

According to data, the harmful compound can cause cancer.

In the letter, the two Ohio senators warned EPA Administrator Michael Regan and Ohio EPA Director Anne Vogel that the combustion of vinyl chloride, one of the toxic chemicals that was released and burned after a train transporting it derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, earlier in February, can result in the formation of dioxins.

Research suggests that dioxins are highly toxic compounds and are considered “persistent environmental pollutants.”

The senators quoted EPA information, writing that dioxins can interfere with hormones. The harmful chemicals were also linked to cancer and reproductive and developmental problems.

The findings also revealed that exposure to dioxins may harm the immune system.

Brown and Vance asked whether the agencies were testing for dioxins and seek more information about the federal and state protocol for handling mass dioxin exposure.

“Following our visits to East Palestine this past week where we heard directly from members of the community, we remain concerned that it does not appear that the U.S. EPA, OEPA or Norfolk Southern is texting for dioxins,” wrote Brown and Vance.

“We are concerned that the burning of large volumes of vinyl chloride may have resulted in the formation of dioxins that may have been dispersed throughout the East Palestine community and potentially a much larger area,” continued the letter. (Related: Cincinnati cuts off drinking water from Ohio River in the wake of train chemical spill.)

Ohio senators call for transparency to ensure public safety

The Ohio senators included six questions about the agencies’ current dioxin testing strategy that they wanted to be answered by Feb. 24.

Brown and Vance concluded the letter by demanding both agencies coordinate an immediate testing regimen to “ensure regular testing for dioxins in the region.”

They explained that strict monitoring must be part of a long-term strategy and that it should be enforced immediately and communicated to the local community for transparency.

Following the disastrous train derailment in the small eastern Ohio town, the train’s operator Norfolk Southern decided to release dioxin, along with other potentially harmful chemicals, to prevent a massive explosion.

While the town’s residents were asked to evacuate during the release of the chemical, they were told that it was safe to return to the area on Feb. 9.

Allegedly, the EPA, Ohio EPA and Norfolk Southern contractors have conducted several tests to assure residents that the air and water in the affected area are safe. Despite these tests, some locals expressed concerns that the catastrophic event could impact their long-term health.

Experts have also warned about the potential environmental damage from the chemical release.

Sil Caggiano, a local hazardous materials specialist, said that the incident was akin to a “nuclear winter.”

EPA orders Norfolk Southern to clean up affected areas

On Tuesday, Feb. 21, the EPA ordered the train’s operator to oversee the cleanup in affected areas following the chemical spill. Railroad company Norfolk Southern was also ordered to cover all charges for the cleanup.

Amid growing fear and frustration among residents about safety and transparency, the EPA took the helm as the fallout from the Feb. 3 train disaster moves from emergency response to the clean-up phase.

The EPA required Norfolk Southern to reimburse the federal government to provide cleaning services for affected residents and businesses following the incident. Should Norfolk Southern fail to comply with the order to identify and clean up all the contaminated water and soil, the EPA will take over the work.

The agency will also seek triple damages from the multibillion-dollar company.

While no fatalities or injuries have been reported from the toxic spill, a free community health clinic has been opened to assist worried residents clamoring for definitive answers about short- and long-term health risks.

Aside from the cleanup, Norfolk Southern will also be responsible for out-of-pocket medical costs. The company must also reimburse fire services for equipment contaminated during the emergency response.

Last week Norfolk Southern earned the ire of residents when the company didn’t attend a town hall meeting. However, under the binding order, the company is now required to attend public meetings and post information online.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks the truth about the authoritarian pandemic response that continues to threaten democracy and liberty as we know it. It’s cost him friendships and 40 years of political contacts, not to mention loss of income and business relationships.

But the threats to his reputation and credibility, as the media have attacked him and his message, don’t feel like a sacrifice, Kennedy says, as he feels called upon to advocate for this issue.

In an interview with journalist Kim Iversen, Kennedy explains, “I look at it as a gift. I was raised in a milieu, in a family, where we assume that our lives would be consumed in some controversy, and that it would be a privilege if we were able to take some meaningful role in that.”

Kennedy is part of the estimated 30% of the population who remained skeptical of the mainstream narrative throughout the pandemic. The majority, however, were not, instead buying fully into the fear and propaganda being sold to them.

He references the now-infamous experiment conducted by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram in 1962, during which he tested the limits of human obedience to authority. The Milgram experiment was conducted following the trial of Nazi Adolf Eichmann, who used the Nuremberg defense, or “befehl ist befehl,” which translates to “an order is an order.”

The Milgram experiment clearly showed that people would act against their own judgment and harm another person to extreme lengths simply because they were told to do so.

It was associated with the CIA’s top-secret MKULTRA project, which engaged in mind control experiments, human torture and other medical studies, including how much LSD it would take to “shatter the mind and blast away consciousness.”

MKULTRA was just one of a number of mind control experiments conducted by the CIA in the 1960s and 1970s. According to Kennedy:

“The CIA did a lot of experiments with universities, almost 200 universities around the country with social scientists to study humans, human behavior, and they were experimenting with all kinds of things like psychiatric drugs, with psychedelic drugs, LSD, etc., with torture, with sensory deprivation, and all kinds of means for controlling not only individuals, but entire populations with propaganda, fear, all these things.

So you had all of these universities getting hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars from the CIA or from CIA front groups for programs that were called MKULTRA. The reason it’s called MK is that’s code for mind control. So MK Dietrich, MKULTRA, MK Naomi, Operation Artichoke, Operation Bluebird, many, many others, were all about funneling money to universities to study controlling human behavior.”

Yet, even during the Milgram experiment, 33% of the people got up and walked out, refusing to violate their ethics.

“They may be from a whole range of political backgrounds and parties, who just … maintain that capacity for critical thinking, and is not subject to … that override from authority,” Kennedy said. “And it seems to me … that we’re all now in the grips of this huge Milgram experiment, where we have a Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is this trusted authority, telling us to do things that we know are wrong, like censor speech.”

Fear is the enemy, as it allows totalitarian systems to take control of people, destroying democracy in the process, Kennedy says.

It’s commonly used by people in authority to exert further control, like shot mandates and lockdowns. Children’s Health Defense, which Kennedy founded, has filed more than 50 lawsuits, many of them addressing COVID mandates.

In the beginning, even judges were too frightened to rule against the state dictates, leading to “really crazy decisions that … made no sense,” Kennedy says. They’ve since made some progress, including in New York, where a judge said since the shot doesn’t prevent transmission, you can’t have a mandate for it.

But he points out that a government will not only not relinquish power, but will also abuse any power it has to the maximum extent possible. Just because the pandemic is over, the desire to control won’t go away. He explains:

“People should keep in mind that nobody ever complied their way out of totalitarian regime rules. So, if you think that you know, by abandoning these rules, that somehow things are going to get better or it’s going to satiate the need to control you, it’s not. It’s just going to embolden them to do something worse.”

Kennedy also states that we’re facing a situation we’ve never been in before. It’s not that democracy hasn’t been threatened, and lost, in the past, but now the technological tools are available for widespread surveillance:

“There have been many times when we lost democracy. There has been polarization that was this bad before, particularly during the Civil War. But other times in our history, there have been very, very toxic polarization.

There’s been times when we lost democracy and that large corporations, particularly during the Gilded Age in the 1880s and 1890s … — you know, the big oil companies like Standard Oil — were running our country, and that we really did not have a functioning democracy.”

The difference was that, back then, “we started cutting away at this monolith of corporate and government power, the merger of corporate power that had abolished democracy,” and were able to restore it. What’s different today is that we now have the technology available to control human behavior at a large scale:

“The problem is that we’ve now got these instrumentalities, these technologies, for human behavioral control that we never had before. The ambition, the intention of every totalitarian regime in history is to control every aspect of human behavior — our speech, our thoughts, our transactions, our movements, everything that we do — but they’ve never been able to do that, because nobody, no government, has ever had that reach.

But today, we have facial recognition systems all over the place. We have satellite systems. Bill Gates says his satellite system, which is 61,000 satellites … will be able to look at every square inch of the Earth 24 hours a day. We’re now beginning on the road to adopting digital currencies, which is economic slavery. As soon as that happens, we lose all rights because they will be able to starve you.

And we already have an example of that with a trucker strike, and in our demonstration in Toronto, Trudeau sent people out to look at the license plates for these truckers and then froze their bank accounts. So they couldn’t pay their mortgage, they couldn’t put their kids in school, they couldn’t buy food for their family. None of them were charged with a crime.”

Kennedy also makes the point that the framers of the Constitution did not add any exemptions due to pandemics. They were well aware of them, having experienced multiple epidemics during the Revolutionary War. But the Constitution was protected and allowed to function as intended. Adding exceptions is something new. Kennedy notes:

“There were epidemics in every city that killed tens of thousands of people — yellow fever, cholera, smallpox and many others. So, the framers knew all about it. But they didn’t put an epidemic or pandemic exception in the United States Constitution. It’s a new thing … we had a civil war and Lincoln — at a time when our country was really ‘this far’ away from being destroyed, 669,000 Americans died. It’s like 20 million people died today.

And yet, when he tried to get rid of Habeas Corpus, the Supreme Court said, ‘You can’t do that.’ There’s no exemption for war … there’s no exception for pandemics. We had a Spanish flu pandemic in 1918 and that killed 50 million people. And yet, we did not stop the Constitution from functioning.”

Kennedy says the remedy to stop totalitarian control is democracy. But, “My father always said that democracy was completely dependent on the free flow of information.”

Open debate, allowed for by free speech, leads to the best ideas and solutions that allow a country and its population to thrive.

“If you shut off the free flow of information and start censoring things,” Kennedy says, “we lose the one advantage that we have. And, of course, once you start doing censorship, you are on the slippery slope to totalitarianism.”

Right now, we’re facing institutional corruption, with the military industrial complex at the helm.

“I think if you removed Anthony Fauci … he’s going to be replaced by another Anthony Fauci,” Kennedy explains.

Meanwhile, he says, it’s the military industrial complex, which also owns the press, that we need to take democracy back from:

“We’re living in the era that Dwight Eisenhower warned us against on January 17, 1960 … in his farewell speech, Eisenhower gave probably the most important speech … in American history, where he warned Americans against the emergence of the military industrial complex — the intelligence agencies, the Pentagon and the associated industries, and he included the scientific bureaucracy.

He specifically spent a lot of time in that speech arguing about the federal scientific bureaucracy, meaning NIH, that they would be the authors of the destruction of American democracy if we allowed them to do that … And then 9/11 … turned America really into the beginnings of a surveillance state. And COVID completed the task.

… and the job of the CIA is to develop a pipeline of new wars that America could fight to feed this machine, the military contractors, and look what happened in COVID — 138 companies were involved in manufacturing and distributing the vaccine.

They’re all military contractors. The Pentagon and the National Security Agency ran the entire pandemic response. Pfizer and Moderna don’t really own those vaccines. They slap their labels on them, but it was a Pentagon project. And so, you know, we’re dealing with a military industrial complex.”

With totalitarian forces angling to control every aspect of human behavior, the time for dissent is now. The first step is waking up to the truth. The next is to stand up for what you believe in. The ultimate outcome, however, remains to be seen. According to Kennedy:

“The levels of control that they have now over human behavior are greater than we’ve ever seen. It’s what I call turnkey totalitarianism … we’re trying to educate the public and build our army to restore democracy.

And they’re rising at the same time to put this infrastructure in place that will give them total control, destroy dissent and disable any kind of insurgency or subversion or any difference with the official government narrative, and the orthodoxies … when they put that in place, it’s really hard to predict whether democracy will have the resiliency to restore those institutions.”
