Alice Springs to Mind

Oncologist/Immunologist Dr William Makis, who explains the mechanisms of harm within the mRNA Covid-19 vaccines, for example at his testimony to the National Citizens Inquiry in Canada, also writes daily about the resulting premature death, to help raise awareness to the still-unsuspecting public. Below is his X post about his most recent article, Actors Dying Suddenly.

NEW ARTICLE: ACTORS Dying suddenly – Matthew Perry (age 54), Tyler Christopher (age 50) are the most recent losses:

34 young Actors and Actresses who died suddenly in 2023 – many had autopsies done!

Vast majority were forced to take COVID-19 Vaccines to get or keep a job.

Autopsies yield interesting results:

  • 14 died from cardiac events
  • 4 died in their sleep
  • 4 died from blood clots (2 strokes, 1 pulmonary embolus)
  • 4 died from very aggressive cancers (Turbo Cancer) (1 glioblastoma, 1 bowel cancer – dead 4 days after diagnosis, 1 unknown – dead 1 month after diagnosis)
  • 4 died by way of suicide (can’t exclude COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine neurological injury leading to increased suicide risk)

Oct.31, 2023 – 50 year old Tyler Christopher, ex-husband of Eva Longoria, star of “General Hospital” and “Days of our Lives”, died suddenly from a cardiac event in his San Diego Apartment.

Oct.28, 2023 – 54 year old Matthew Perry, star of NBC sitcom FRIENDS died suddenly around 4:10pm on Oct.28, 2023. “First responders found Perry unconscious in a hot tub at his Los Angeles house and were unable to revive him.” He had played pickleball for one hour, the morning before his death. His pickleball partner said he was fatigued and had been fatigued over past week.

Oct.17, 2023 – London, UK – 38 year old model and actress Tabby Brown, ex-girlfriend of Mario Balotelli, died suddenly and unexpectedly from a cardiac arrest. She had been absent from social media for 18 months. She appeared in ads for Canon and Virgin Atlantic.

Oct.5, 2023 – 53 year old Keith Jefferson, actor who played in “Django Unchained”, “the Hateful Eight”, and close friend of Jamie Foxx, died suddenly on Oct.5, 2023 after being diagnosed with cancer in Aug.2023. Diagnosis to death: approximately one month.

Sep.30, 2023 – 35 year old Egyptian actor, director Ahmed Samy El-Adl died suddenly on Sep.30, 2023 from cardiac arrest due to pulmonary embolism

Aug.15, 2023 – 40 year old Broadway actor and star Chris Peluso died suddenly on August 15, 2023. Cause of death not released but possible neurological injury as he recently sought treatment for schizoaffective disorder

Aug.3, 2023 – 47 year old actor Clifton Oliver died on August 3, 2023. He was battling “an illness” and had spent the last six weeks in a hospital and then hospice. His illness has not been revealed. Probably cancer.

July 28, 2023 – 56 year old actor Marc Gilpin died on July 28, 2023. He was diagnosed with glioblastoma May 5, 2022 with 2 inoperable tumors in his brain

July 21, 2023 – Nashville, TN – 44 year old Shonka Dukureh, actress who played in the new film Elvis, died July 21, 2023. She was found dead by one of her children at 9:30am and ran to a neighbor who called 911. Autopsy: death due to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease

July 6, 2023 – 48 year old actor Jeffrey Carlson, who played one of the first trans characters on television as Zoe Luper on ABC’s soap opera “All my children” died suddenly on July 6, 2023. Medical Examiner: cause of death was dilated cardiomyopathy

June 25, 2023 – London, UK Actor 40 year old Nick Baldev, died 4 days after being diagnosed with bowel cancer and less than 24 hours after being told it had spread.

I present 34 cases in total with the most current information that is available.

The trend is accelerating, including injury and disability not resulting in death; seemingly due to ongoing, often unidentified, persistent harm from the toxic substances. To quote Mikki Willis, “We’ve all been scammed, lied to and coerced“. The enemy is not the messenger. Yet, whilst those doing this to humanity remain in control of the information most people access, they tell us to believe that people speaking out, such as Mikki Willis and Dr William Makis, are crazy and harmful and must be silenced. Are you really sure about that?

US to feed troops Japanese seafood amid Fukushima fears

US to feed troops Japanese seafood amid Fukushima fears

Washington has agreed to help offset a Chinese ban on imports following Tokyo’s release of nuclear wastewater into the ocean.
 

The US government has agreed to buy Japanese seafood for its military to help mitigate the economic fallout from Japan’s decision to release radioactive wastewater from its destroyed Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean.

The American armed forces will sign a long-term contract with Japanese seafood suppliers to help counter China’s ban on imports from Japan, US ambassador to Tokyo Rahm Emmanuel told Reuters in an interview on Monday. Japanese fish, scallops and other products will be served on US Navy ships and stocked in commissaries and mess halls at 17 American military bases in the region, he added.

Feeding Japanese seafood to US soldiers would not completely offset Japan’s loss of the massive Chinese market, Emmanuel conceded, but would make a statement about Beijing’s “economic coercion.” 

“The best way we have proven in all the instances to kind of wear out China’s economic coercion is come to the aid and assistance of the targeted country or industry,” he said.

China, formerly the largest importer of Japanese fish, banned all seafood imports from Japan in August, citing concern over possible radioactive contamination. Beijing slammed the Japanese government’s decision to start dumping Fukushima wastewater into the Pacific Ocean, calling the move “extremely selfish and irresponsible.” Russia followed suit earlier this month, suspending its imports of Japanese seafood.

The Japanese government has repeatedly defended its wastewater discharges as safe, and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) backed the plan. China’s Foreign Ministry responded to the IAEA’s claims by suggesting that those who think the releases are safe should “drink or swim in” Fukushima wastewater themselves.

Emmanuel has mocked Chinese leaders on social media and claimed in an interview earlier this month with Japan’s Sankei newspaper that Beijing lacked any scientific basis for raising concerns over the Fukushima discharges. He told Reuters that despite China barring imports of seafood harvested by Japanese fishermen, it has continued to allow sales of fish caught by Chinese crews in Japanese waters.

Asked whether he was “hawkish” on China, Emmanuel told Reuters that he was merely being honest and realistic. “Maybe honesty is painful, but it’s honest,” he said.

“The responsibility of diplomats is to promote friendship between countries, rather than smearing other countries and stirring up trouble,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told reporters on Monday, in response to Emmanuel’s latest comments.

Reuters said the first purchase under the US military’s new seafood deal with Japan will total less than one metric ton of scallops. By comparison, Japan exported more than 100,000 metric tons of scallops to China last year.

COVID Authoritarians Want Forgiveness – Here’s Why They Don’t Deserve It

Posted on by

Zero Hedge

Do authoritarians deserve a chance to be treated with grace and forgiveness? The question is circulating regularly these days in the wake of the complete failure of covid pandemic response and the victory of the anti-mandate movement. The answer relies on a series of counter-questions based on logic and predictable outcomes. It’s the kind of discussion that covid cultists don’t want to have; they just want everyone to forget because they now have something to lose politically

Scott Galloway, Professor at the NYU Stern School of Business and member of the World Economic Forum’s “Global Leaders Of Tomorrow” list, is one of the cultists that now wants to be given a free pass as he debates the issue on Real Time with Bill Maher.

The question that we need to ask Galloway is:  How forgiving was he when confronted with people who opposed his authoritarianism?  Galloway was rabidly pro-mandate.  He consistently called for harsher punishments for people refusing to comply and he demanded that the unvaccinated be treated as second tier citizens banned from places of business.  As he argued in his blog titled ‘Half Of America Has Its Head Up Its Ass. It’s Time For A Vaccine Mandate’:

“Enough already. Federal law should require any citizen who wants to cash a government check, use public transport, or enter a place of business to show proof of vaccination…”

Galloway cited the ever present inflated CDC data on covid deaths in America as the justification for his authoritarian position.  Of course, data was available not long after the spread of covid indicating that the Infection Fatality Rate of the virus was a tiny 0.23% and that 99.8% of the population (including the unvaccinated) had nothing to fear.  Not only that, but the CDC has recently and quietly published information showing that around 95% of people who died with covid also had one or more comorbidities and 75% had at least four – Meaning, if you did not have multiple comorbidities your chances of dying from covid were incredibly small.

Do Galloway and those like him deserve a clean slate?  No, they don’t, and here’s why…

No Apologies

We hear many covid authoritarians talk about forgiveness but very few of them actually apologize for their behavior.  Galloway calls for “grace”, perhaps trying to appeal to the Christian notion of “turning the other cheek.”  He admits he was wrong on the mandates (because the data forces him to), but he doesn’t actually apologize for his behavior.  In fact, he excuses his behavior and the behavior of leftist politicians as them doing the best they could do given the imperfect information they had at the time.  This is a common tactic of misdirection.

As noted above, within months of covid becoming active in the US, the data was already available showing that the virus was not a legitimate threat.  So the claim that their information was “the best they had at the time” does not hold water.  There was more than enough evidence to warrant opposition to unconstitutional policies (frankly, even if covid had been more deadly it doesn’t justify violations of the Bill of Rights).  Millions of Americans tried to explain the truth to those panicking over covid, and they chose not to listen, calling us “selfish conspiracy theorists.”

But the greatest trespasses were among those analysts and “influencers” who used covid as an opportunity for political gain, knowing that there was information that debunked government and media spin.  The worst people are those that have no intention of making amends because they plan to try again.  People who do wrong and refuse to give a legitimate apology are the kinds of people that are likely to commit similar offenses in the future.

Mad With Power

The covidians were primarily from the left side of the political spectrum and wherever leftists were most concentrated is where the most egregious violations of liberty took place.  The political left went absolutely mad with power, with a large number of Democrats supporting Orwellian controls to punish people refusing to submit to the mandates.

There were calls to fine the unvaccinated, imprison people who question the vaccine, put the vaccinated on home lockdown and even take away their children.  In some states, like New York, there was active legislation put forward to create detention facilities for people that did not comply (covid camps).  That is some serious Stalinist behavior and we are still waiting for it to be addressed and for certain political leaders to be punished.

As the old saying goes: “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.”  We have now seen the character of the political left.  We have seen the character of people like Galloway, and they have been found untrustworthy.

It Can And Will Happen Again

The covid event was really a litmus test for authoritarian tendencies in the US.  At least half the public failed that test miserably.  We may not see another pandemic agenda in our lifetimes, but that doesn’t really matter.  There will be many other opportunities in the future for ignorant people and sociopathic people to act out on their darker impulses.  It is important to make a note of how the individuals around us behave when they think it’s safe to be evil, and we must remember who they are.  These are not people that should be given “grace” or trust down the road when the next crisis strikes; they have shown themselves to be unworthy of that.

Fauci NIH Lab Infected Bats With Wuhan Coronavirus, Obtained From Zoo Near Camp David

Posted on by

By Greg Piper

Just the News

A 15-minute drive from the Camp David presidential retreat, a low-rated zoo gave the National Institutes of Health several bats to infect with a coronavirus from the same Chinese lab that some federal agencies believe is responsible for the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, according to a new investigation and published research.

The White Coat Waste Project, which fights taxpayer funding of “wasteful government animal experiments,” said Monday it’s using Freedom of Information Act requests to get more details about the taxpayer-funded experiments documented in a 2018 paper in the journal Viruses.

Former National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci oversaw the NIH’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Montana when it did the research with bats from Maryland’s Catoctin Wildlife Preserve, whose Director of Animal Health Laurie Hahn is a former NIH “lead veterinary technician” for animal research.

The Viruses paper, authored by Montana lab researchers and Wuhan Institute of Virology collaborator Ralph Baric, of the University of North Carolina, determined that the “SARS-like WIV1-coronavirus” first isolated from Chinese rufous horseshoe bats could not cause a “robust infection” in the 12 Egyptian fruit bats from the zoo. Four were euthanized and tested.

The paper doesn’t say which zoo employee signed off on the bats’ transfer to NIH, but WCW suspects Hahn played an instrumental role.

WCW used screenshots of her LinkedIn profile but did not name her in a blog post on its investigation “to protect privacy and instead focus on government bureaucrats because they are ultimately the ones who should be held accountable,” Senior Vice President of Advocacy and Public Policy Justin Goodman wrote in an email.

Hahn has been frequently identified as the “curator” of the zoo going back to 2017, a role that encompasses “acquiring animals, transferring animals, research, and other duties related to managing the zoo’s population of animals,” Goodman said.

Her involvement is especially likely “in this case where they have a personal history with the recipient,” Hahn’s former employer NIH.

WCW provided Just the News an Agriculture Department of inspection report from April that shows the zoo had 241 bats, 41 of them the Egyptian fruit bats used in the NIH research.

Its blog post notes USDA fined the zoo $12,000 in 2012 for five years of violations including poor treatment of animals and failure to adequately train a zoo worker who was mauled as a result.

Charity Navigator, which rates nonprofits based on several metrics, gives the zoo a 56% rating and one out of four stars due to missing “accountability metrics” among other lapses.

HALF of all young men who got jabbed for COVID and developed myocarditis now have PERMANENT heart damage

HALF of all young men who got jabbed for COVID and developed myocarditis now have PERMANENT heart damage

Dr Eddy Betterman

In a recent appearance on Megyn Kelly’s podcast, Dr. Drew Pinsky talked about the “breathtaking” findings of a new study showing that 50 percent of all young men who got “vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) and developed myocarditis as a result now have a permanently damaged heart.

You may recall that public health authorities, after first insisting that the COVID jab-myocarditis link was a conspiracy theory, eventually fessed up to the fact that the Operation Warp Speed shots do, in fact, cause heart damage – but only temporarily, they claimed. We now know that they were lying about this, too.

“It took my breath away,” Dr. Drew told Kelly, expressing how perplexed he is that the study’s findings are not national news – watch the clip below:

Dr. Drew says young men who were injured by COVID jabs should SUE any school that mandated them

Published in the journal Circulation, the study Dr. Drew referenced is “excellent,” appearing in what Dr. Drew described as “a major cardia cardiology journal” – meaning it is widely respected, as well as peer-reviewed.

“It’s a large study, and it showed that about approximately half of the young males that got myocarditis had permanent heart damage,” Dr. Drew stated.

“That means that we don’t know what percentage are going to be disabled by this as they get older or develop heart failure, or are going to need cardiac transplants, some of them. It’s breathtaking, this study. And why it wasn’t a big headline … I don’t understand why people aren’t reacting to it.”

As with most damning studies such as this, the mainstream media is burying it and pretending as though it does not even exist. Many of them promoted the things, after all, and to admit that they lied to the public would mean opening themselves up to widespread litigation.

“I think – put your legal head on for a second – that universities are going to be in big trouble for having mandated young people to get that vaccine because people are going to get sick, they’re going to have long-term consequences, and they should sue those schools for having forced them to take a medical intervention,” Dr. Drew said.

“One hundred percent they should sue.”

To young people who have not yet been jabbed for COVID but who are being told they have to in order to continue their education, Kelly urged them to purchase a fake vaccination card.

“If anybody tries to force you from this point forward [to get jabbed], get a fake card,” she said. “It’s not that hard. Go ahead, Google it, get a fake card. Don’t comply.”

Dr. Drew responded to this in seeming agreement, adding that there are other ways to keep oneself safe from disease than getting jabbed with an experimental drug.

“I’m just saying, [if] you have to say you’ve gotten a shot to get in, get a fake one,” Kelly continued. “Just Google it on the internet. It’s b******t. If they’re going to create these b******t rules, you can create your b******t way around them.”

UK Police Arrest Women Who Attended Gaza Protest Wearing Paraglider-Print Shirts

Breitbart

London police have made the latest in a series of arrests related to the repeated Gaza and Hamas protests in recent weeks, now arresting two women on suspicion of terrorism offences for wearing prints of paragliders stuck to their clothing at a rally.

Two women, aged 29 and 44 years old surrendered themselves to police and were arrested “on suspicion of inviting support for a proscribed organisation” under the Terrorism Act after the Metropolitan Police published their images in an appeal for information. The pair are being held at a police station, the force said.

Images of four people had been published by police on the 27th relating to “Pro-Palestine” protests on October 14th and 21st, with three of those being women wearing print-outs of paragliders taped to their clothes. The fourth was a man carrying a “I fully support Hamas” placard.

The paraglider has rapidly become a symbol alluding to the October 7th Hamas attack against Israel, one of the most deadly terrorist attacks in history, in which over 1,400 residents of and visitors to Israel were killed, some in the most brutal circumstances. Paragliders were used by Hamas terrorists to cross undetected into Israeli territory in large numbers, launching attacks against civilians once they landed.

Two people remain outstanding from the police’s appeal. In an update issued overnight, the force described the third woman who has not yet come forward as “dark skinned, wearing light brown trousers and a long-sleeved red top. She initially had a blue denim jacket tied around her waist and later put this on over her red top. She is wearing a light blue medical face mask and a dark scarf or bandana around her head. She also has a dark red shoulder bag.”

Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, said of the appeal: “If the people in the pictures recognise themselves, I urge them to come forward so we can speak with them.”

The man waving the pro-Hamas placard is described as: “He has short hair, light skin and is wearing a blue jacket with a light top underneath, a light stripy scarf around his neck, and light trousers or jeans.”

Hamas is what the UK government calls a proscribed organisation in Britain, which is to say supporting it is banned. This is a reasonably recent development, it was only in 2021 this ban was put into force, and it only applies to the so-called military wing of Hamas, meaning support for what the British government calls “the so called political [wing]” remains legal.

Hamas is not the only proscribed group in the UK that focuses on the destruction of Israel: the British government also bans the Abdallah Azzam Brigades, the Abu Nidal Organisation, Al Qa’ida, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, Hizballah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

The paraglider-clothing women are not the only arrests made in London over the recent wave of Gaza protests. On Sunday, two women were arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred after another similar appeal, with London broadcaster LBC reporting they had been filmed chanting about “an ancient massacre of Jewish people in the Middle East” referenced in the Koran at the Battle of Khaybar in 628AD at a protest on Saturday.

Russian Socialism Before Marx

Episode 6 Revolutionary Russias

The Rise of Communism from Marx to Lenin

Dr Vejas Gabriel Liulevius (2019)

Film Review

In the summer of 1874, three years after the Paris Commune, populist, pro-revolution university students from St Petersburg traveled to the countryside to work alongside Russian peasants in the hope of using subversive pamphlets to persuade them about the need for revolution. For the most part, the peasant ignored their pamphlets, listened passively or turned them into the secret police.

Marx believed revolution was only possible in Germany, France, the UK or the US because these were the only Western countries with an industrial working class. He believed revolution was impossible in Russia because the population was 80% rural and engaged in primitive agriculture and only 50% ethnic Russian. Although the serfs had been freed under Alexander II, the scarcity of factory jobs left them no choice but to continue working for their feudal lords. In addition, unlike most of Europe, Russia was still ruled by an autocratic emperor who ruled by divine right and brutally suppressed any efforts at reform

The 1860s saw the rise of the Russian nihilists, inspired by the 1863 novel by Nikolai Chernyshevsy What is to Be Done. Chernyshevsy’s main character is a totally dedicated revolutionary. Russian populists (aka narodniks) and nihilists, who came to be called Socialist Revolutionaries, disagreed with Marx’s view that a successful revolution required significant evolution from feudalism towards modernity.

The Socialists Revolutionaries advocated using anarchist tactics to pursue their vision of a peasant utopia. In 1881, Czar Alexander II was assassination by an anarchist group called The People”s Will.*

Plekhanov, a populist revolutionary exiled to Switzerland in 1880, established the first Russian Marxist group and the first Marxist newsletter Iskra (The Spark). In 1998, Russia’s Social Democratic Party.

in January 1905, Russia experienced a totally spontaneous revolution, following a series of major government blunders. In 1904, Russia declared war again Japan over rival imperial ambitions in Manchuria and North Korea. After Japan sank two Russian fleets, 100,000 workers protested outside the czar’s palace demanding reform. The czar’s troops fired on peaceful protestors, leading to major strikes across Russia, as well as a mutiny by the Russian army and navy (which sank the battleship Potemkin). Railway workers totally shut down national communications. Peasants burned the manor houses of their feudal lords, and police discarded their uniforms and refused to report for duty.

In factories, workers established the first soviets (worker councils), as did the Russian Army. The Marxist Leon Trotsky created a central council of soviets in St Petersburg, placing the whole city under worker control.

In his October Manifesto, Nicholas II responded with a number of reforms, including the creation of a Duma (parliament) with limited powers. After more moderate revolutionaries capitulated, government forces invaded the central soviet and imprisoned Trotsky.

*According to Matthew Ehret of the Rising Tide Foundation, British agents played a major role in numerous “anarchist” assassinations of world leaders in the late 19th and early 20th century (including Alexanader II and US presidents Garfield and McKinley.

Bill Gates Pushes Digital ID for Newborns in Kenya as Critics Warn of Surveillance Risk

Posted on by

bill gates digital id newborn kenya feature

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is continuing its global push to support government-backed digital ID programs — this time setting its sights on Kenya, where it will advise the government on that country’s “Maisha Namba” digital ID initiative currently under development, Reclaim the Net reports.

According to the Kenyan Daily Post, Gates’ role in assisting the Kenyan government in its development and rollout of Maisha Namba was announced after a recent series of “closed-door meetings” with Kenyan President William Ruto.

“The billionaire, who is known to champion GMO [genetically modified organism] foods, has met Ruto in a series of meetings since he came to power with most of the engagements shrouded in secrecy,” the Kenyan Daily Post wrote.

[…]

The identification number attached to Maisha Namba “will also be used to register for government services, including education, health insurance, tax and social security.”

But some experts said they believe the Maisha Namba program has other, unannounced, aims. Dr. Wahome Ngare, chairman of the Kenya Catholic Doctors Association, told The Defender that Maisha Namba will operate as a vaccination tracking program.

“Maisha Namba — Kiswahili for ‘life number’ — is a biometric vaccination system for newborns that will replace birth certificates and help track children from birth to 5 years of age,” Ngare said. “It will be used to monitor and ensure all children receive their vaccines.”

[…]

Ngare was referring to amendments to the existing International Health Regulations, currently under negotiation by WHO members alongside a proposed “pandemic treaty.”

The ID2020 Alliance previously promoted the development of digital ID and vaccine passports. Microsoft is a founding member of the ID2020 Alliance, as are Gavi, the Gates Foundation, the World Bank, Accenture and the Rockefeller Foundation.

“If all goes according to plan, Bill Gates will not only inject billions of Africans with his mRNA vaccines,” Ngare said. “He has created a digital ID system for governments around the world to ensure nobody misses their vaccines and that those who refuse vaccination can be restricted from traveling or from accessing government services.”

[…]

Other experts also expressed concerns similar to those of Ngare. California-based privacy attorney Greg Glaser told The Defender, “Vaccine passports were a test run for global biometric ID,” adding:

“Biometric ID is to future dystopian society as batteries are to your TV’s remote control. Without the batteries, the remote control does nothing. Without biometric ID, dystopian technology fails: social credit scores, central bank digital currencies [CBDCs], smart devices in the Internet of Things.

[…]

Similarly, Irene Polansky, a citizen who routinely participates in the National Call for Safe Technology hosted by Wired Broadband Inc. and Virginians for Safe Technology, told The Defender that COVID-19 was “a beta (compliance) test for what’s to come,” and to be wary of the touted benefits of new technologies such as digital ID.

[…]

Digital ID for newborns part of ‘vast opportunities’ Gates sees in Africa

[…]

According to Business Daily Africa, such assistance to the Kenyan government is part of what the Gates Foundation sees as “vast opportunities that can be unlocked through the existence of a digital identity in Kenya.”

[…]

But the Gates Foundation is not the only global actor involved in the rollout of Maisha Namba. According to Kenya’s Capital News, the Kenyan government and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) signed a memorandum of understanding in August to support the fledgling digital ID program.

According to Reclaim the Net, “The plan envisages every newborn being assigned a Maisha Namba, which stays with them throughout their life.” Nyandarua County Deputy Commissioner Rukia Chitechi said, “The system shall be run through schools by ensuring every child born is assigned a maisha namba.”

Target 16.9 of the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) calls for the provision of a digital legal identity for all, including newborns, by 2030.

According to Glaser, “The UN’s SDG Target 16.9 confirms that governments will be issuing everyone biometric ID by the year 2030, including babies … That means the UN is partnering with corporations and local governments to issue you and your children a biometric ID by 2030, whether you want the IDs or not.”

[…]

Hancock said she was concerned about how a “long-term, persistent identifier” could “be used to track people and create a surveillance state or be compromised over time by a bad actor looking to leak information tied to these unique identifiers.”

[…]

Concerns digital ID will lead to ‘permanent structure for state-level surveillance’

According to Biometric Update, “As the government seeks to win the trust and confidence of the population with regard to the Maisha Card, it has also clarified that its issuance will not be compulsory,” but will instead be accepted as proof of legal ID alongside existing identification documents.

Yet, a separate Biometric Update report states, “A two-to-three-year transition is planned, with legacy national IDs being phased out.”

Hancock said she prefers “ephemeral IDs for transactions and the ability to discard them or change them when they get compromised.” She is “also concerned about mandates around digital ID and it possibly leading to a permanent structure for state-level surveillance.”

[…]

The Kenyan government claims the implementation of Maisha Namba is also intended to bring the country into compliance with international standards on global travel as determined by the International Civil Aviation Organization and other agencies.

Maisha Namba is funded with a budget of 1 billion Kenyan shillings (approximately $6.8 million), Biometric Update reports. The program was initially set to launch on Oct. 2, according to Business Daily Africa, but its rollout was postponed on Sept. 29.

According to Reclaim the Net, Kenyan officials “stress that the new system is aimed at addressing a host of issues such as the authentication of citizens, protection of primary identification documents, improved governance of social programs and operations, and simplification of access to services such as healthcare, education, taxation, and social security,” but public concerns may have contributed to the postponed launch.

[…]

Glaser also criticized public-private partnerships. “As I researched biometric ID, I learned that governments are not at the top of the food chain. It’s actually private companies at the top — such as Microsoft, Oracle, Accenture — because they create and own the technology and they manage the data at the top.

Some Kenyans ‘very worried and suspicious’ of Gates’ endeavors in Kenya

Kenyan officials have sought to reassure the public that their personal information would be safe on the new digital platform.

Kenyan National Registration Bureau Registrar for the Kipipiri region, Joel Muchunu, said the Maisha Namba program will incorporate advanced security features, including cryptographic technology for data security, Kenya News Agency reported.

Irungu Houghton, executive director of Amnesty International, “applauded” the Maisha Namba program and the Kenyan government’s digital transformation efforts, according to Biometric Update, but “raised concerns about the safety of data that will be collected for the Maisha Namba scheme” and said it is important Kenyans are “comfortable they understand and are aware of the opportunities of this digital platform.”

Such reassurances have not convinced all Kenyans, however. According to Reclaim the Net, “There is an evident wave of skepticism,” with activists from certain regions “expressing concerns about inadequate infrastructure, unreliable network access, and privacy and civil liberties concerns.”

Some activists argued that the Maisha Namba is indistinguishable from a previous digital ID effort attempted by the Kenyan government, the Huduma Namba, according to Kenyan outlet The Star. That program was declared unconstitutional by Kenya’s High Court in October 2021, for conflicting with the country’s Data Protection Act.

Ngare said Huduma Namba “failed because [the government] intended to include DNA.”

Other activist groups, led by the Kenyan Human Rights Commission, are “calling for a stronger legislative basis” and “warn of the possibility of discrimination and the erosion of privacy,” warning that public engagement has been “lacking,” as have “procedural and legal safeguards,” Biometric Update reported.

Other activists “accused the government of backtracking on its promise to do away with vetting for persons seeking identification cards” and claimed “rogue government officials were using the vetting exercise to demand bribes,” according to The Star.

Kenyan officials claimed the country “is lagging behind” in digital implementation, “putting Kenya at risk of non-compliance with international enforcement agencies’ standards.”

Ngare said the Kenyan public at large isn’t highly familiar with Gates, but those who are familiar with him “are very worried and suspicious.” He said there isn’t extensive opposition to Maisha Namba “because at face value, it sounds like a good idea.”

“Most people don’t know the dark side of Bill Gates and his link to the depopulation agenda,” he said. “To the beneficiaries of the NGOs [non-governmental organizations] his foundation supports and some beneficiaries of his philanthropy, he is admired. To those who know the deeper undertones of the eugenics agenda, he is loathed.”

[…]

Ngare said that Gates’ involvement with Maisha Namba is just one of his many interests in Africa, having previously been involved with “The clandestine administration of fertility regulating Tetatus vaccines to Kenyan women in 2014-2015, facilitated by Gavi and the WHO,” which he says “is still fresh in our minds.”

[…]

The Gates Foundation is also “spearheading the funding to fight HIV, tuberculosis and malaria” in Africa, Ngare said, and is “injecting more funds ‘to advance access to mRNA research and vaccine manufacturing technology that will support low- and middle-income countries’ … capacity to develop high-quality, lifesaving vaccines at scale.”

“He is heavily invested in vaccine development, production and distribution through Gavi … and makes the vaccines ‘available’ to ‘low-income countries’ at affordable or subsidized prices,” Ngare added. “The U.S. and European governments fund the vaccine development that enriches the developers and sponsors such as Gates.”

“Expanding the mRNA technology to tuberculosis, malaria and HIV would afford Gates an opportunity to develop vaccines specifically targeted at Africans,” Ngare said.

Kenyan author Nanjala Nyabola, author of “Digital Democracy, Analogue Politics: How the Internet Era is Transforming Politics in Kenya,” said “Digital identity systems will only make governments more efficient at what they are already doing,” according to The Financial Times, adding that digital IDs could be used as a tool to suppress or discriminate against certain citizens.

US Sees Massive Retail Closures Amid Negative Economic Trends

50,000 retail stores would close out of the current base of 940,000 stores in the U.S. by 2027.

Thousands of stores are closing across the United States this year, with some citing increased crimes as a reason, but industry experts said crime isn’t the full story.

Rite Aid, one of the largest pharmacy chains in the country, has joined the growing list of retailers to shed locations. The company filed for bankruptcy this month and is set to close more than 100 drug stores as the first step while negotiating a bankruptcy deal.

Following Rite Aid’s announcement, Target, a leading U.S. retailer, shut nine stores in four states, where the company said, “theft and organized retail crime” lead to “unsustainable business performance.”

In June, retail chain Bed Bath & Beyond declared bankruptcy and closed 896 stores, followed by Foot Locker, which is shutting more than 500 stores by 2026 as part of a shift away from shopping malls. Other retailers like Walmart, BestBuy, Party City have also announced closures of 20 to 30 stores.

So far this year, at least 20 major retailers in the United States have said they have closed or are set to close more than 2,800 stores across the country, according to a tally by Insider.

All told, there have already been more bankruptcies of retail companies in 2023 by the end of October than in the full year 2022 or 2021.

Retailers have recently been blaming what they said is a rising tide of theft and retail crime. Their trade association, the Washington D.C.-based National Retail Federation (NRF), said retailers have seen a dramatic jump in financial losses associated with theft.

In its September report, the NRF said that the losses reached US$112.1 billion last year, up from US493.9 billion in 2021; while shrink, a measure of retail losses that includes external theft as well as other sources of loss, reached 1.6 percent of sales in 2022.

Experts said the closures aren’t just about theft and crime. Still, several trends have contributed, including the slowdown in consumer spending, a reduction of credit availability, the continued shift to e-commerce, and higher costs to operate retail stores.

When store prices keep rising, consumers will mostly stop spending on discretionary goods and keep it solely essentials, said consumer behavior experts. Worsening inflation concerns continue to weigh on U.S. consumers, as shown by the latest consumer survey.

Consumers have a more pessimistic economic outlook this month than in September, according to the Michigan Index of Consumer Sentiment. It also found that high-income consumers showed the biggest drop in confidence, showing that spending could slow.

There’s a concern that consumer expectations of inflation could prompt the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates high. The Federal Reserve has engaged in a series of interest rate hikes in an effort to bring inflation down to a target annual rate of 2 percent.

Higher interest rates can result in higher cost of doing business for retailers, said experts, as this can increase the cost of credit and mortgages.

Investment bank UBS’s retail analyst Michael Lasser estimated that 50,000 retail stores would close out of the current base of 940,000 stores in the United States by 2027. Store closings could accelerate to 70,000 to 90,000 if retail sales turn out to be weaker than expected.

July 7, 2023 – 34 year old Belgian professional cyclist Sep Vanmarcke has announced his retirement due to cardiac MRI showing cardiac scar tissue he didn’t know he had.

May 17, 2023 – 24 year old Kazakh professional road racing cyclist Dinmukhammed Ulysbayev died unexpectedly of “acute heart failure” on May 17, 2023 in Los Angeles, CA.

May 6, 2023 – 56 year old Francois Beaulieu, New Brunswick’s top Energy Regulator, died suddenly on May 6, 2023. He had a sudden cardiac arrest while cycling on Saturday and died. Wife: “He was doing what he loved, cycling. His heart stopped but mine has not.”

My Take… 

Athletes continue to collapse from sudden cardiac arrests and I believe we are starting to see long term cardiac damage caused by COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines.

For example, 34 year old Belgian professional cyclist Sep Vanmarcke announced his retirement because he had a cardiac MRI that confirmed the presence of scarring that he was not aware of. He had only recently started having an abnormally high heart rate that prompted the cardiac MRI.

Most amateur athletes are unable to get a cardiac MRI or cardiac PET to check for scarring that would predispose them to sudden cardiac death. But it could mean the difference between life and sudden death.

From Ethical Skeptic, sudden cardiac death in ages 0 to 54 remains at all time highs:
