Don’t Fall For The FBI’s “Civil War” Trap

Via Revolver News

Right-wingers of all stripes can never get enough of talking about the supposed civil war on the horizon. This topic got a boost in attention over the last month following America’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. Some saw the Taliban’s defeat of the Globalist American Empire as a sign fed-up patriots can do the same in Appalachia. Comedian Sarah Silverman further sparked discussion last week on civil war after she called for a national divorce.

Many conservatives praised her for sharing this bold idea with the masses. They believe a peaceful national divorce is the only realistic option going forward.

However, the conditions for a civil war don’t exist in America. There’s too much prosperity, a very powerful government, an overtly content population, lots of bread and circuses, and no institutions or leaders to bring forth a separation. I’ve covered these reasons at length on my podcast.

Some readers will probably disagree with these arguments and insist civil war/national divorce is a viable option. But there’s one argument they can’t disagree with: The group that’s most eager for the Right to embrace civil war talk is federal law enforcement. That alone should make conservatives think twice about sharing Boogaloo memes.

Federal agencies can point to all this activity and declare a domestic war on terrorism. The White House categorized “white supremacists” and “militia violent extremists” as the “most persistent and lethal threats” to America in a summer memo. That memo called for the government to “prevent” and “disrupt” domestic terror attacks before they happen. All Americans would like the feds to stop violence before it happens. But Revolver readers should know that these plots stopped by feds are often created by feds in the first place.

This is the chief problem with civil war rhetoric. People who are encouraged in the false belief that war is right around the corner will do stupid things and make themselves easy targets for federal entrapment. At best, civil war rhetoric is nothing more than empty chest-thumping on Twitter. At worst, it gets you several years in federal prison.

Lab Grown Meat To Hit U.S. in 2022, Backed By FDA & USDA, Along with “Smarter Food Safety Blueprint” and Traceability All Underway

Via Cory’s Digs

Corey’s Digs first reported on cultured lab grown meat back in 2018, alerting people that this would soon become a reality, as the globalists chip away at our food security. Now, Future Meat Technologies, a company out of Israel is nearly set to begin shipping its lab grown meat to the U.S. in 2022. This was a blip in the news, missing everyone’s radar, and yet their connections and the potential repercussions of this is alarming. But they are not the only company involved with this, and the industry is rapidly gaining traction while the FDA and USDA are getting everything lined up, along with their “Smarter Food Safety Blueprint” with food traceability technology. This is their strategy to control the food industry and everyone’s food security, going far beyond the meat industry. Who is backing all of this, what’s really in this “meat,” and how will this impact farmers and ranchers?

In June 2021, it was announced that Future Meat Technologies was in the approval process with regulatory agencies of its production facility in multiple territories and plans to launch its products in the U.S. in 2022, as the “World’s first industrial cultured meat facility,” but their are several others. It is an Israeli start-up founded by Rom Kshuk and Chief Scientific Officer Yaakov Nahmias, with the ability to produce 1100 lbs of meat a day initially, and is currently seeking out locations in the U.S. to expand its facilities. They produce “cultured” chicken, pork, and lamb, with beef coming just around the corner.

Many organizations, agencies, and NGOs that are pushing the 2030 agenda have long been backing this agenda under the guise of climate change and sustainability. The World Economic Forum has informed everyone that “You’ll eat much less meat. An occasional treat, not a staple.” Future Meat Technologies claims that its process will generate 80% less greenhouse emissions, use 99% less land, and 96% less freshwater than traditional meat production. Nahmias has patents pending in the US, China, and Europe for growing cells in vitro.

This isn’t a one-off start-up company, this is a full scale agenda to remove the meat industry entirely. In fact, Bill Gates wants “all rich countries to move to 100% synthetic meat,” and he’s backing nearly all of the companies involved in this industry. The number of companies involved, money being thrown at this, and agencies quick to approve it, is quite staggering.

Timeline of Relevant Events and Key Players

2001: NASA scientists and Dutch universities began developing the technology for lab-grown meat.

2005: The University of Maryland announced working on growing meat in incubators by utilizing stem cells from a biopsy of a live animal.

2009: Beyond Meat was founded by Ethan Brown, and is headquartered in El Segundo, CA. They develop plant-based substitutes for meat, which created quite a trend, to welcome the future of lab grown meat. It takes time to seeds minds. It takes far less time to get the seed money. Beyond Meat is funded by Tyson Foods, Bill Gates, Twitter co-founders Biz Stone and Evan Williams, Leonardo DiCaprio, GreatPoint Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, Biz Stone, Obvious Corporation, and others.

2011: Impossible Foods was founded by Patrick O. Brown, and is headquartered in Redwood City, CA. They also develop plant-based meat products, and have also received funding from Bill Gates, as well as the Open Philanthropy Project, Google Ventures, Khosla Ventures, Viking Global Investors, UBS, Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing’s Horizon Ventures, Temasek, and others. In 2020, Burger King rolled out the first “Impossible Croissan’wich” in all of their 7,500 locations, followed by Starbucks “Impossible Breakfast Sandwich in all 15,000 locations.

2011: Eat Just, Inc. (formerly Hampton Creek Foods), which often goes by “JUST,” was founded by Josh Tetrick and Josh Balk, and is headquartered in San Francisco, CA. They produce plant-based alternatives to conventionally-produced egg products. The initial seed funding came from Khosla Ventures, owned by Vinod Khosla, one of the co-founders of Sun-Microsystems, who also invested in Impossible Foods, and is a member of Bill Gates’ Giving Pledge. Sales Force CEO Marc Benioff, Facebook co-founded Eduardo Saverin, Hong Kong billionaire Lin Ka-shing, Founders Fund, Yahoo founder Jerry Yang, and Ali Partovi all invested as well. Eat Just’s subsidiary, GOOD Meat, produces lab grown meat.

2013: Bill Gates and Peter Thiel invested in Eat Just Inc.

2015: Memphis Meats (now known as Upside Foods), a Berkeley, CA based food technology company focussed on growing cultured meat, was founded by Uma Valeti, Nicholas Genovese, and Will Clem.

August 2017: Five days before the signing of Whole Foods over to Amazon, Bill Gates and Richard Branson invested in Memphis Meats. Gates, Branson, Elon Musk’s brother Kimbal Musk, and Cruise co-founder Kyle Vogt have funded $17 million to Memphis Meats as of 2017. Tyson Foods and Cargill also have a stake in it. By 2020, they had $161 million in investments for its production facility.

August 2017: Amazon acquired Whole Foods.

2018: Future Meats Technologies, located in Rehovot, Israel, was founded by Yaakov Nahmias.

May 2018: Tyson Ventures, the venture capital arm of Tyson Foods, invested $2.2 million seed money into Future Meat Technologies. The Neto Group (Israel), S2G Ventures (Chicago), Bits x Bites (China), Agrinnovation (Israel), and HB Ventures (New York) also funded Future Meat Technologies in that round.

January 2019: The World Economic Forum published their “Improving Traceability in Food Value Chains Through Technology Innovations” as part of their “Great Reset,” in collaboration with McKinsey & Company.

January 2020: (more than likely, much earlier than that) Covid hit the U.S., meat plants closed, and millions of dollars began steaming in to the lab grown meat industry.

April 2020: Tyson Foods announced closures of their food processing plants and stated that “the food supply chain is breaking.” They warned that “millions of pounds of meat” will disappear from the supply chain due to the so-called pandemic causing food processing plants to close. John Tyson also stated that U.S. farmers don’t have anywhere to sell their livestock. It is alleged that their Waterloo, Iowa plant had 182 cases of Covid in their employees. In addition to Tyson Foods, they also shut down Smithfield Foods in SD (China-owned company who Corey’s Digs has reported on), and JBS pork processing in MN.

October 2020: The FDA published ‘Food Made with Cultured Animal Cells,’ stating that this emerging area of food science “is expected to be ready for market in the not too distant future.” In 2019, the FDA and USDA established a formal agreement on how they would roll out regulations and proper labeling to develop a framework for this industry. They break down their separate regulating responsibilities here, from tissue collection, cell lines and banks, selection, growth, harvest, processing, labeling, and importing this lab grown meat.

2020: The USDA awarded contracts to provide 8 million RFID tags to cattle and bison producers, for free of course. They want them tracked and traced. A battle ensued, and in March 2021, the USDA announced its intent to pursue rule-making on RFID use in animal disease traceability by 2023. There is a hidden mandate that requires cattlemen to register their premises and obtain premise ID numbers, whereas current regulations do not require a producer to register his or her premises as a prerequisite to shipping cattle interstate. R-CALF and NCLA are fighting this in a federal court in Wyoming.

February 2021: Future Meat Technologies raised another $26.7 million in funding from Tyson Foods, ADM, Muller Group and Rich’s Products Corporation, S2G Ventures, and Emerald Technology Ventures.

April 2021: Singapore became the first country to offer lab-grown meat through their home delivery platform Foodpanda. Eat Just, Inc. partnered with them through their subsidiary ‘GOOD Meat,’ and Google even provides a cardboard headset that plays a film about preserving the planet, that comes with each order. They intend on taking this model global where Delivery Hero brands operate which is currently in over 50 countries. Eat Just, Inc. is also an investor of Delivery Hero.

July 2021: The FDA released their “New Era of Smarter Food Safety Blueprint.”

August 3, 2021: Tyson Foods announced they are requiring its entire 120,000 U.S. workforce to get the Covid-19 jab, including more than 2,500 truck drivers.

August 2021: Memphis Meats (Upside Foods) has partnered with a San Francisco restaurant to offer their lab grown chicken, once it passes a regulatory review from the FDA and USDA, which should be a slam dunk.

September 13, 2021: The FDA announced the winners of their “Food Traceability Challenge.”

Beginning to see the picture? The SAME companies and individuals that are involved with the 2030 agenda “Great Reset,” that are rolling out the digital identities to get everyone onto the blockchain in order to control humanity, are also invested in the lab grown meat industry. Why? Because in order to control the masses, you have to also control the food, and meat is a good place to start. If anyone believes this is about climate change or sustainability, they’ve lost site of reality. Many of these same people are also involved with the Covid jabs and profiting from this virus. MORE.

Scientists Want to Replace Injections by Turning Plants into Edible mRNA Vaccines

Via Breitbart News

Scientists at the University of California-Riverside will be studying how to turn plants into “mRNA vaccine factories,” the school announced last week.

The National Science Foundation (NSF), which is partly funded by the federal government and created by Congress in 1950, awarded the school a $500,000 grant in August. The goal of the study is to find a way “to grow edible plants that carry the same medication as an mRNA vaccine,” WFLA reported on Saturday.

“Ideally, a single plant would produce enough mRNA to vaccinate a single person,”Juan Pablo Giraldo said in a statement. He is an associate professor in UCR’s Department of Botany and Plant Sciences and is leading the research.

The study will reportedly be done in collaboration with scientists from UC San Diego and Carnegie Mellon University.

“We are testing this approach with spinach and lettuce and have long-term goals of people growing it in their own gardens,” he continued. “Farmers could also eventually grow entire fields of it.”

The project overall has three goals, according to the school:

Showing that DNA containing the mRNA vaccines can be successfully delivered into the part of plant cells where it will replicate
demonstrating the plants can produce enough mRNA to rival a traditional shot
determining the right dosage.
Turning mRNA vaccines into edible plants is one solution to the challenge of always keeping mRNA vaccines cold during transport — plant-based mRNA vaccines would ideally be able to be stored at room temperature.

Giraldo said they key to making edible mRNA vaccines are chloroplasts — “small organs in plant cells that convert sunlight into energy the plant can use.”

“They’re tiny, solar-powered factories that produce sugar and other molecules which allow the plant to grow,” he said. “They’re also an untapped source for making desirable molecules.” MORE.

New Zealand Police Arrest Three Citizens Attempting to Cross Into Auckland Level 4 Lockdown Zone With Kentucky Fried Chicken

Via The Conservative Treehouse

The New Zealand Ministry of COVID compliance has been attempting to stop COVID-19 for almost two years. On August 17th, the extreme far-left New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, announced a “level four” emergency shutdown. Auckland New Zealand was placed in a level-4 lockdown, meaning all restaurants are shut down even for takeout, and people within the L4 zone are to remain in strict isolation bubbles and quarantine confinement.

Enforcement of the quarantine bubbles are carried out by police and military units. Police checkpoints keep citizens from traveling into or out of the quarantine perimeter of Auckland.

After an extensive sting operation and police chase, law enforcement announced today they successfully arrested three men who were attempting to gain re-entry into Auckland with a significant amount of contraband Kentucky Fried Chicken, ten tubs of coleslaw, and a large amount of illegal french fries. A breach of the Covid-19 Public Health Response Act can result in imprisonment for up to six months; or a fine of up to $4,000.

Guardian […]  In such an environment, fast food can take on the aura of a high-value illicit substance. Last week, a man was charged by police after posting a social media video of crossing the Auckland boundary in search of McDonald’s.

“The vehicle was searched and police located the cash, alongside empty ounce bags and a large amount of takeaways.”

Close examination of the police evidence photos revealed at least three buckets of chicken, up to 10 tubs of coleslaw, and an undisclosed quantity of fries.

As a result of the ‘level-four’ restrictions, the people in New Zealand were instructed to stay at home, “Do not talk to your neighbors”, wear a mask, maintain 2 meters social distance, and stay away from others if you leave your home for the three approved reasons: Emergency food shopping, healthcare or testing.

Left-Wing Journos Whine About Gabby Petito Coverage After Obsessing Over George Floyd For Months

Via The Federalist

Living under the new Black Lives Matter dictatorship apparently means that white women who go missing need to check their privilege.

Following some national media interest in the disappearance of 22-year-old Gabby Petito, some leftists in that same media (along with some guilty consciences) microwaved the “missing white woman syndrome” grievance, the complaint that white women and girls who inexplicably disappear are given outsize attention relative to similar cases with ethnic minorities.

“The obsessive fascination with missing white women also leads to a slanting in sympathies,” New York Times leftist Charles Blow wrote Wednesday. “All missing-persons stories are human tragedies, and because we are all human we empathize with the people we see. But this also erases the trauma of other missing people, as if nonwhite people never go missing, when they absolutely do.”

MSNBC’s Joy Reid said Monday, “Why not the same media attention when people of color go missing? Well, the answer actually has a name: Missing White Woman Syndrome.”

In response to the criticism, some news outlets, such as CNN and the New York Post, attempted to course-correct by highlighting a handful of missing-persons cases involving ethnic minorities.

Sure, without reading into the hearts of TV news producers, it’s probably a safe guess that at least part of the reason Petito has been covered so widely is that she’s an attractive, young woman who we now know is dead, a scenario that has tugged at the heartstrings for centuries.

It’s also true, though, that nothing was stopping the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC or any of the networks from covering missing-persons cases that involve minority victims. If it’s discriminatory not to cover them, we know who’s to blame.

In any event, there are elements to the Petito case outside of demographics that lend themselves to intrigue, such as that her fiance, 23-year-old Brian Laundrie, had been with her before she disappeared but was safe and sound with his own family, ignoring phone calls from her parents who were looking for her.

Police knew where he was and did not take him into custody for questioning. Then he disappeared, and his parents declined to answer any questions from the media and police on the matter.

Regardless of race, the circumstances are inherently unusual and interesting. In addition, there was captivating police footage of a traffic stop prior to Petito’s disappearance that showed her in deep distress, apparently having been in a fight with Laundrie, who in that same video was very calm.

All of it is strange without Petito happening to be white. But so long as we’re talking about race, let’s not pretend that the national media are immune to homing in on specific stories precisely because a victim involved is black.

Recall the coverage for months on end in 2020 and into 2021 related to a Minneapolis man who died with a potent mix of drugs in his system during an altercation with police. There wasn’t even a gun involved in that one, but video of the incident played for hours on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and the rest. Major newspapers wrote editorials against police brutality and the supposedly pervasive systemic racism that touches every corner of America.

Would that have happened had George Floyd been white? Of course not. MORE.

Kamala Harris Demands To Speak With Whoever Was Put In Charge Of Border

Via The Babylon Bee

WASHINGTON, D.C.—With the southern border in chaos and human tragedy resulting from mismanagement all over the news, Vice President Kamala Harris urgently demanded a meeting with whoever Biden put in charge of the border.

“No human being should be whipped and thrown in a cage. That’s horrible! I’m really gonna chew out whoever is responsible for this,” she said to reporters. She then broke down in a fit of uncontrollable laughter at the thought of people being whipped and thrown in cages.

“I demand to speak to the border manager!” she added, crossing her arms.

When asked by reporters where she’s been the whole time, she revealed she’s been on various Caribbean luxury cruise ships to examine their COVID preparedness. “We have to make sure the cruise ships are safe! We don’t want people to die! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” She resumed laughing heartily at the thought of people dying on cruise ships.

Harris has announced she will be traveling to the southern border for a meeting with whoever is supposed to be in charge of it within 2-3 months, or however long it takes to get there by cruise ship.
