Science Corrupted: Bought And Sold To The Highest Bidder

By Ben Garrison

Many centuries ago the Catholic Church controlled science. Theirs was the final word. Those who questioned their scientific dogma (Galileo for example) where threatened with torture and imprisonment in some dank dungeon. Science was combined with fear.

More recently the Soviet Union controlled their own version of science. The Soviet state was infallible. They cut corners to save money and in the case of Chernobyl and no one was allowed to question it or raise flags of alarm. Doing so could lead to a gulag or a bullet in the back of the head. Science was politicized and combined with fear. It ended in disaster.

Those who constructed the nuclear power plants at Fukushima should have known their design would prove disastrously faulty in the event of a major earthquake and tsunami. The location was convenient and a lot of money was saved. They should have feared the inevitable, but big money influenced science.

Science is supposed to be about logic, reason, and possessing the freedom to pursue truth—no matter what the consequences. Yet even know science is corrupted. It has been politicized by the Deep State globalists to serve their agenda. Bill Gates knows little about medical science and yet he has used his billions to fund and influence medical organizations to serve his dark agenda. Big Pharma influences media, the medical institutions, and politicians to cover their tracks and increase their profits. Money and politics have ruined science no matter how hard the media attempts to spread the ‘official’ science dictates.

There are honorable scientists such as Judy Mikovits who speak the truth about vaccines, and as a result the corrupt medical establishment ruined her career, drained her of her life savings, and destroyed her reputation. Many scientists tow the party line in fear of losing their career and reputations. Science is still combined with fear as well as politics and money.

Bill Gates and Big Pharma want mandatory vaccines not only to pad their wallets, but in the case of ‘Kill’ Gates, he also wants the world population tagged, tracked, and controlled. They hold up science as the penultimate in truth. We are not allowed to question it—we are urged to worship it as if the people wearing the lab coats are high priests of truth.

Unfortunately science has been purchased and politicized by such globalists. Their vaccines can destroy DNA and cause far great complications that Covid-19 ever could. It has been very difficult to create a vaccine for Coronaviruses, and so if one is rushed out we should become even more suspicious. Covid-19 has a very low mortality rate. Vaccination is unnecessary and dangerous. If they make such a vaccination ‘mandatory,’ we must resist it even more. Will we then be threatened with imprisonment in some FEMA camp? When the people fear their government, we have tyranny. Welcome to the police state.

It’s time to open up our country again. Forget what the dictator governors and petty dictator mayors are ordering. We The People have the final say—especially when it comes to control over our own health.

Biden To Black Voters: If You Support President Trump “You Ain’t Black”

By Chris Donaldson/Trending Politics

The modern incarnation of the Democratic party continues to prove that it is a racist entity to the depths of its dark soul and on Friday, Joe Biden sent a message to black voters who support President Trump.

According to the presumptive nominee: if you an African-American who either supports Trump or remains open-minded, then you “ain’t black” in a stunning outburst that could have backfire big time.

As the interview was ready to end, the borderline-senile Biden who was speaking from his Delaware home tripped over his own tongue as he is prone to doing.

Said Biden:

“If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black.”

OH NO, JOE!

Lunchbucket Joe made his astonishing comments during an appearance on the hugely popular “The Breakfast Club” to rapper and host Charlamagne tha God where Biden was pandering to the show’s national and predominantly black audience.

Talk about stepping on a rake.

Biden’s monumental gaffe comes at a time when he is zeroing in on a running mate who is widely expected to be a woman of color that would seal the deal with black voters who continue to loyally vote Democrat despite the sad fact that the party forgets about them as soon as the votes have been counted.

Via Politico, “Biden: ‘If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black’”:

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday emphatically defended his ties to the African American community — telling a popular black radio personality that he “ain’t black” if he was still weighing whether to support Biden or President Donald Trump in November’s general election.

The remarks from the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee came during an at-times contentious interview on “The Breakfast Club” that aired Friday morning, during which co-host Charlamagne tha God challenged Biden over his decadeslong record on racial issues and current contemplation of a black, female running mate.

“I’m not acknowledging anybody who is being considered, but I guarantee you, there are multiple black women being considered. Multiple,” Biden said of his search process for a vice presidential nominee.

It was then that an aide to the Biden campaign could be heard interjecting into the conversation, attempting to cut short the interview. “Thank you so much. That’s really our time. I apologize,” the aide said.

“You can’t do that to black media!” Charlamagne retored.

“I do that to white media and black media because my wife has to go on at 6 o’clock,” Biden shot back, apparently referring to a subsequent media appearance by Jill Biden, before adding: “Uh oh. I’m in trouble.”

“Listen, you’ve got to come see us when you come to New York, VP Biden,” Charlamagne said. “It’s a long way until November. We’ve got more questions.”

“You’ve got more questions?” Biden replied. “Well, I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

In speaking like a Democrat from back in the day when the party fiercely defended the sick practice of human slavery, Biden oozed the condescension of a plantation owner warning of the consequences of journeying outside of the gates.

Black voters who have been persuaded that Biden is their savior and a gateway to the glorious days of Barack Obama’s regime would do well to remember that it was only last year when he came under fire for his praise of Dixiecrat segregationists.

With one errant comment, the worst fears of Democrats who understood that the former vice president was as unstable as a stick of wet dynamite have just been realized and such a brazenly contemptuous attitude may not sit well with the critical demographic which is being played for fools in yet another election cycle.

Democrats have been in a state of panic as the economic prospects for Black Americans have never been better until the media whipped up a state of hysteria over the outbreak of the coronavirus and blue state governors intentionally crashed the economy.

There is already a firestorm brewing over Biden’s comments that is likely to intensify and could burn him in a way that the sexual assault and corruption cloud that has been hanging over his head never could.

Stacey Abrams has yet to weigh in on Biden’s explosive mistake.

Brainwashing & The New Vocabulary: 12 Words & Phrases We Never Want To Hear Again

Via Zero Hedge

Remember how after September 11th happened, there was that nasty bill that formed the TSA and authorized all sorts of surveillance against the American people and they called it, ironically, The Patriot Act?

Of course, we knew then that the bill was anything but patriotic, however, that didn’t stop it from being passed and trampling all over the constitution. The word “patriot” was perverted by those in power who wanted everyone to fall in lockstep with the unconstitutional searches at airports and many other invasions into our privacy.

Which brings us to another word that doesn’t mean what people think it means – it was all done in the name of “safety.”

If you’ve been watching any type of media coverage or reading articles, you’ve probably seen or heard a plethora of words and phrases which are currently being perverted due to the coronavirus pandemic. I don’t know about you, but if I never heard “safe” or “new normal” again, I’d be a much happier person.

If you feel like people are being brainwashed through repetition, that’s because they are. Quite simply, these buzzwords and several others we’ll discuss are being used to indoctrinate the public.  As Joseph Goebbels, the Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany, wrote:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” (source)

We’re incredibly divided right now and the words are being as fuel to the fiery arguments taking place both online and in-person, during altercations in which one party feels the other party is being callous and horrible.

Let’s take a look at this hostile takeover of our vocabulary with a dozen words I’d like to have stricken from conversations, advertising, and the media.

1. The new normal

While it’s absolutely true we’re never going “back to normal” like we were before the pandemic, there’s a “new normal” being foisted upon us which is blatantly fueled by fear. Earlier on in the lockdown, I used this phrase a few times in reference to the economy. Sorry about that.

The “new normal” is most often used to get people to accept whatever unconstitutional or undignified rule that people in charge want us to find tolerable, like taped squares on the floor that we’re supposed to stand in while waiting in properly spaced lines. You know how cats will curl up in a taped-off square on the floor as though it was a box? Now they want humans to do that for the privilege of buying alcohol or food.

Other bizarre “new normal” activities are having your temperature taken by someone brandishing an infrared thermometer gun, scurrying around in a mask in stores trying to avoid other humans like you’re playing some kind of weird game of tag, and publicly shaming those who don’t act terrified because they clearly hate old people.

2. We’re all in this together

The saccharine phrases “we’re all in this together” or “we’re all in this together…apart” was bandied about early on in the lockdowns. Celebrities serenaded us badly with John Lennon songs. They made videos of themselves looking concerned at their mansions, telling us not to worry, because “we’re all in this together.”  Except, of course, they still have millions of dollars in the bank and the rest of us weren’t supposed to go to work or open our businesses to make the money we need to survive.

Indeed, we all owe these celebrities an unfathomable debt of gratitude for reminding us that they, too, are “in this together.”

Social media outlets even made little frames for your profile pictures bearing those wildly annoying words. Articles encouraging us to hunker down in our homes reminded us that everyone, rich or poor, was “in this together” too. It’s just that the rich people were “in this together on yachts and private islands while the rest of us crammed into the kitchen on Zoom meetings with our employers while banning our kids from streaming anything so we had enough internet.

3. Stay home.

Stay home. Just stay home.

How many times did you hear this phrase early in the lockdown? You probably lost count at umpteen million. #StayHome was a viral hashtag on Twitter, people ended social media status updates encouraging others to just “stay home,” and we were all told that if we didn’t “stay home” we were risking the lives of every person we loved and a few we hated because we were going to unconsciously spread the virus and kill people.

Clearly the only people who were asymptomatic were the a$$holes who wouldn’t “stay home.” They were COVID Marys and COVID Marks, thoughtlessly spreading illness to old people and kids with cancer merely because they wouldn’t just “stay home.”

In order to get us to all “stay home” stores in some states took to establishing what their government felt were “essential” purchases, and banning all other purchases even if you were already in the same store. (More on the word “essential” in a moment. Thoughtless people didn’t realize if you only bought lettuce or a gallon of milk, you wouldn’t pass on your cooties. Cooties were only passed when you bought duvet covers or garden seeds.

Jeez. Stay home, you jerks.

4. Social distancing

Another phrase that makes me want to snarl viciously at those using it is “social distancing.” I’ll admit, I’ve always had an invisible personal space bubble I don’t like having invaded, but the whole social distancing thing means now that stores have arrows telling you which way you can walk down an aisle and the afore-mentioned taped boxes or Xs on the floor for standing in an appropriately social-distanced line.

Due to “social distancing” we spent months being unable to visit with loved ones, go into restaurants to eat, or go into the liquor store aisles to select our own much-needed whiskey.  We’ll continue socially distancing in all sorts of ridiculous ways in the “new normal” future, with venues only allowing a small portion of their former capacity of customers inside at a time.

5. Six feet

Hand in hand with social distancing is the phrase “six feet.”  If someone gets too close to you in the store, you can shout angrily from behind your mask, “Six feet, mofo!” and it’s perfectly acceptable. Six feet is the gold standard, the protective bubble that keeps you “safe” from getting COVID 19 when you can’t “stay home.”

All those Xs on the floor of stores are measured out to be six feet apart. Children returning to school will have to stay six feet away from other children while marching around the playground in dismal formation. Offices are being redesigned so everyone can stay six feet away from everyone else.

6. Essential

The word “essential” has also been corrupted. If you were able to keep working throughout the entire lockdown, it’s because you were an “essential” worker doing an “essential” job. “Essential” was defined separately by the governor of each state, so it varied from place to place. My daughter, who works in a beauty supply store, was initially not “essential” but a month in when everyone’s roots began to show, she became essential and got the travel papers to prove it.

The word “essential” was also used to describe purchases that the government felt were important enough for you to be allowed to make in person, and for trips outside the home. It was “essential” to go to the grocery store, the doctor, the pharmacy, and out to walk your dog. However, the dog had to be walked on neighborhood streets with all the other people essentially walking their dogs, instead of on a trail out in the forest alone, because the trails were closed because they weren’t essential.

7. Pivot

Depending on the business you’re in, you may have heard the word “pivot” until you wanted to vomit. Small businesses were super-busy “pivoting” to try and stay afloat while loans meant for them went to billionaires and giant corporations. You could “pivot’ by manufacturing something else – something “essential” like hand sanitizer – or by offering delivery or curbside pickup of your products.

Some of the “pivoting” was just different marketing. Buy this laundry soap, because we’re washing clothes for healthcare workers in it. Buy our car, because we support essential workers. Buy from us because here’s how we’re keeping our employees safe.

Other “pivots” were allowing people to work from home, supporting your customers in different ways, and selling goods from an appropriate social distance, like literally selling new vehicles over the internet and dropping them off in people’s driveways.

8. Uncertain or unprecedented times

How many emails could possibly have the subject line starting with “in these uncertain times” or “in these unprecedented times”?

It turns out, a whole lot. I can’t enumerate how many emails I got assuring me that various companies had my back in these “uncertain times.”  Everyone from Victoria’s Secret to my internet service provider sent me a message letting me know how they were doing business in these “unprecedented times.”

Car brands had commercials about why you needed a particular vehicle during these uncertain times because we all definitely need a new car while the business that employs us is trying to pivot. Articles had headlines about handling these “uncertain times.” I confess, I too had an article about uncertainty early in the crisis. Again, sorry I used that word.

The continued use of this word makes people eager to latch on to anything that is “certain.” It makes them want to accept “the new normal” so they don’t have to be so “uncertain.” And since all this is “unprecedented” we have no idea what that “new normal” is going to be, so it can be anything, no matter how draconian.

9. Flatten the curve

When the lockdowns were first announced back in March, the entire goal was to “flatten the curve.” That meant that hospitals would not be overwhelmed like the hospitals in Italy and China. Instead of a graph going straight up into the stratosphere, we’d have a gentle hill, spacing out the illnesses.

Everything became about “flattening the curve.” You can’t “flatten the curve” while going about your business.  CBS News explained (while using 4 of our least favorite words and phrases):

Communities are being urged to practice social distancing, some schools are closing, sports and cultural events are being canceled, and companies are asking employees to work from home — even if they’re not experiencing coronavirus symptoms. Many are wondering why they are essentially self-quarantined despite the fact that they’re not sick. The answer has to do with “flattening the curve” — an answer that could leave some people confused.

You’ve likely seen “flattening the curve” graphs being used in articles and shared on social media as a way to explain the importance of responding aggressively to curb the spread of the coronavirus. But what does it mean to flatten the curve, and how do we do it?

Friday on “CBS This Morning,” CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook explained what has become a buzzword in the wake of the outbreak.

“Is it really worth while to do all of this social distancing and hand washing? The answer is yes,” Dr. LaPook said. “Normally, right now — without any measures — the epidemic might go up [sharply] and go down. That peak number of cases could overload the system and that’s what people are worried about.” (source)

Unfortunately, even after the curve was flattened across the nation in April, that was no longer sufficient. Many people are still stuck at home and many businesses are still unable to reopen.

10. Safe

The most overused word in this entire list of hijacked vocabulary has to be “safe.”

If taking a shot every time you heard or read the word “safe” was a drinking game, we’d all be wasted by 9:30 am. Out of all the words I never want to use again, “safe” is the penultimate. The word was already hijacked somewhat by the “safe spaces” nonsense where people were supposed to go when they felt vulnerable because somebody said something mean or wore a MAGA hat around them.

Now, “safe” has crossed the Rubicon. Every other article on the internet is about remaining “safe.” Church marquees want you to stay away from service to be “safe.” Instead of saying “bye” or “see ya later,” the salutation when someone is leaving is now and implorement to “stay safe.”

Some things that used to be okay but now aren’t safe are: kids playing at a playground, adults shaking hands with other adults when doing business, going for a hike, eating at a table in a restaurant, getting your hair cut, or basically having fun in any way beyond playing a wild game of Scrabble against those with whom you are “staying at home.”

You all know that Ben Franklin quote about safety and liberty. I’m not even going to quote it.

How Bill Gates Monopolized Global Health

Via Lew Rockwell.com

If you think Bill Gates’ grandiose plan to force vaccinate over 7 billion people against COVID-19 is delusional, think again. The Microsoft billionaire — who has no public health education (he didn’t even finish college) — has proposed plans that go far beyond the mandating of a vaccine.

They also include a global dragnet of digital surveillance to track and monitor all people, and trace the contacts of anyone testing positive for COVID-19. Of course, COVID-19 is just the initial excuse.

There’s no reason in the world to believe this gigantic global disease surveillance system would be dismantled once the pandemic is declared over. Naturally, it will simply transition into other surveillance functions. Who knows just how many diseases it might track and trace?

Of course, this system will also be used to make sure everyone has been vaccinated with any and all vaccines deemed necessary for domestic and international travel, education, work and social activities involving other people. I wrote about this in “Rockefeller Foundation’s Plan to Track Americans.”

The Grand Plan Is a Totalitarian Surveillance Regime

We also have every reason to believe this disease tracking system will be combined with a digital identification and economic system to enforce compliance.

Signs that an all-encompassing global totalitarian plan is being quietly put together, piece by piece, are all around us. May 6, 2020, Techxplore reported¹ a “new nonprofit charity” called The Mojaloop Foundation will “promote digital payments for people outside the financial system, with support from Google and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.”

Fortune magazine reported² the same story on the same day, adding that other founding sponsors of The Mojaloop Foundation include “the Rockefeller Foundation, the philanthropy and investing group Omidyar Network, and the financial technology startups Coil and ModusBox.”

So, right there we have Google, the Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation, all in one little nonprofit with a heart set on giving poor people access to affordable digital banking using their cellphones. At the same time:

• The Rockefeller Foundation’s white paper,³ “National COVID-19 Testing Action Plan — Strategic Steps to Reopen Our Workplaces and Our Communities,” released April 21, 2020, calls for the use of a digital “patient identification number” to track all Americans after testing them for COVID-19, and
• Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, set up with funds from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has partnered with the ID2020 Alliance to launch a digital identity program called ID2020 in Bangladesh,⁴ and
• Gates funded the creation of EarthNow, a project involving 500 satellites equipped with machine learning technology to surveil the entire planet with real-time video.⁵ Another funder of this project is Japanese billionaire Masayoshi Son, CEO of SoftBank, which owns Fortress Investment Group, the private equity firm that manages America’s largest news network, Gannett, which has more than 260 dailies under its umbrella.^6,7

Give me a break. Enough already. You’d have to be both blind and mentally impaired to not be able to piece together the grand plan, it’s so blatantly obvious once you spend just a few minutes to evaluate the evidence.

How Gates Monopolized Global Health

The featured video above contains Parts 1 and 2 of The Corbett Report on Bill Gates, where in his usual fashion, investigative journalist James Corbett strings together a cohesive narrative at a rapid clip.

Part 1 reviews how Gates ended up in a position to monopolize global health, despite his complete and utter lack of health or medical education.

Apple Sneaks COVID-19 Contact Tracing into Latest Phone Update

Via Newsbusters

If you install updates on your phone without reading the details then you might get an unwanted surprise. The latest involves contact tracking technology.

Contact tracing technology, in theory, will notify users when they have entered the presence of a person with the coronavirus. This project was begun in an effort “to protect people and get society back up and running,” according to an April 10 announcement via Apple’s newsroom. Even if this technology supposedly works, surveys show 3 in 5 Americans are either unable or entirely unwilling to use the technology.

Veteran and MMA champion Paul Lazenby condemned this update on Twitter

“Contact tracing slipped discreetly into your latest IOS update. No notice given, no attention drawn to it. I wonder how many people really understand what a terrifying sign this is.”

He acknowledged that there appears to be an option to toggle the tracing technology on and off, but even then, whether the technology would stop tracking you without your consent is unknown.

Google, which is coordinating with Apple to lay the groundwork for this contact tracing system, has a history of tracking users even after they believe they have deactivated tracking technology.

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) had previously scorched Google’s senior privacy counsel Will DeVries at a March 2019 hearing for that fact. He complained that Google technology still monitors customers even after they had supposedly turned said technology off. Hawley compared this fact to the iconic lyrics from “Hotel California,” quipping “It’s like that old Eagles song, ‘You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave.’”

Democratic Leaders Call For New Investigation To Investigate The Investigators Investigating The Investigators

Via The Babylon Bee (Satire)

WASHINGTON, D.C.—After House Republicans formally called for an investigation into the investigators investigating the Trump campaign, congressional Democrats quickly responded by calling for a new investigation into the investigators investigating the original investigators.

The investigation will center around claims that the investigators assigned to investigate the investigators may show significant bias, with the new investigators investigating the investigation investigators attempting to determine if there has been any prejudice or corruption in the investigation investigation.

“We now know who will investigate the investigators, but who will investigate the investigators investigating the investigators?” Senator Chuck Schumer said in a press conference. “We must hold the investigators investigating the investigation accountable if we are to retain our faith in the justice system.”

At publishing time, Republican leadership had called for a fourth investigation to investigate the investigators who were tasked with investigating the investigators assigned to investigate the investigators.
