This iconic Kiev monastery survived the Mongols, the Nazis, and the Bolsheviks – can it withstand Zelensky? – Tensions continue to mount in the standoff between the clergy and the Ukrainian government over the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra – https://www.rt.com/russia/574274-kiev-perchersk-lavra-vs-ukraine/ – “The Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, a major Orthodox shrine regarded as the third of the Four Earthly Domains of the Most Holy Mother of God, has lived through both bright and dark times in its thousand-year history. The monastery has survived the Mongol invasion, Polish religious persecution, Napoleon and Hitler’s wars, and the rule of the fiercely atheist Bolsheviks. The walls of the monastery preserved their centuries-old heritage and the monks persevered in prayer… However, today the Lavra faces new trials… Today, the monastery is undergoing another siege – this time by the Ukrainian state. The authorities are attempting to snatch away the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra from the canonical church and evict the monks. A state commission has been sent to the monastery to make an inventory of the property, including the relics of the saints. To prevent this, hundreds of believers have gathered at the monastery each day. But the Ukrainian state also has its supporters – columns of young people in balaclavas line up in front of the Lavra, threatening to forcefully evict the clergy… The fate of one of the great monuments of Russian history remains uncertain. At this point, no one knows how the confrontation will end.”
New Medical Codes For COVID-19 Vaccination Status Used To Track People, CDC Confirms – by Zachary Stieber – https://www.theepochtimes.com/new-medical-codes-for-covid-19-vaccination-status-used-to-track-people-cdc-confirms_5173498.html – “Medical codes introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic to show when people are unvaccinated or undervaccinated for COVID-19 are being used to track people, the top U.S. public health agency has confirmed… The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) made the confirmation in emails that The Epoch Times obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request… The CDC had said in documents and public statements that the goal of the new codes, in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) system, was ‘to track people who are not immunized or only partially immunized.’.. The CDC now says it does not have access to the data, but that health care systems do… ‘The ICD codes were implemented in April 2022, however the CDC does not have any data on the codes and does not track this information, CDC officials said in the emails… ‘The codes were created to enable healthcare providers to track within their practices,’ the officials added… The emails were sent to news outlets. The CDC has not answered queries from The Epoch Times about the codes, which the CDC added to the U.S. ICD system in 2022.”
Attacked for Telling Truth About Deadly CV19 Vax – Dr. Mark Skidmore (w/Video 49 min) – by Greg Hunter – https://usawatchdog.com/attacked-for-telling-truth-about-deadly-cv19-vax-dr-mark-skidmore/ – “An expert in public finance and policy evaluation at Michigan State University, Economics Professor Mark Skidmore revealed in a recent study that the CV19 bioweapon vax was debilitating and deadly from the very beginning. His troubles began when the study he conducted showed nearly 300,000 CV19 vax deaths in just the first year of injections. The report went viral, and it was a top trending study on social media that 17 million people read. Dr. Skidmore has published dozens of peer-reviewed scientific papers, but this peer-reviewed study is now being retracted by a top scientific publication. On top of that, Dr. Skidmore is being investigated academically for essentially telling the truth about the deadly CV19 vax. Dr. Skidmore says, ‘I have never had anything happen like this in my career. I have published more than 80 peer-reviewed papers and never had a retraction or anything like this. Peer review is rigorous. An editor (at BMC Infectious Diseases) made a decision to publish, and she was courageous. She had to have known this had potential to cause controversy, and it has. That’s okay. There are people attacking me personally, and attacking the integrity of the process and my integrity. They are challenging the methods. . . . I asked about Covid illness issues, and there was not one inquiry about that. But, if I asked about Covid vaccine issues, it’s just the questions about that, and was it legitimate’?”
Lara Logan On Disturbing News on Drug Cartels in US Working with China (w/Video 35min) – by Alexandra Bruce – https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/lara-logan-on-disturbing-news-on-drug-cartels-in-us-working-with-china/ – “Lara Logan briefs Brannon Howse on her own on-the-ground reporting on the US Southern Border amid a surge of Chinese illegal migrants coming across. She says the Chinese government has to be behind this, because they control their own border and their own people extremely thoroughly… Lara says the Chinese Triads have been working with and intermarrying with the Mexican drug cartels for decades. They have taught them how to make fentanyl and oxycodone… Lara says that the Mexican drug cartels have become the most powerful transnational criminal organizations in the world. They control over 90% of the trade in illegal drugs and every street gang in every country on the planet. They have unlimited money and can arm themselves with whatever weapons they want and they now also receive elite training… She says that the Sinaloa Cartel members lived in the community and there were certain lines that weren’t crossed, similar to how the Cosa Nostra operated. In contrast, the new kid on the block, the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) is extremely violent and cruel. ‘Everyone in power in the United States knows what I know – and more – and yet, this administration opened the Southern Border to these cartels and to their allies in China and other countries. And then, when you look at the fact that we have weakened our own defenses and there are longstanding relationships between the cartels and the Chinese’…”
La Quinta Columna: The Game is Over — Putting It All Under the Microscope: The Transhumanist Agenda, ‘Covid-19’, Graphene Oxide & The Human Brain Project, WiFi Radiation… & the Hidden, Historical Manipulation of Humanity – https://truthcomestolight.com/la-quinta-columna-the-game-is-over/ – Video & Show Notes – Truth Comes to Light editor’s note: “On March 19, 2023, La Quinta Columna held a conference in Seville, Spain titled “El Juego Ha Terminado” — The Game is Over… Below, you will find a large portion of the video transcript. This transcript was primarily taken from the translation into English which was prepared by La Quinta Columna and inserted as subtitles… This conference set out to reveal the true origin of ‘covid-19’, the real causes of death in today’s excess mortality, and the final goal of the transhumanist agenda… Ricardo Delgado is the primary presenter for the conference and does all of the microscope slide demonstrations with commentary… An important segment of the conference included live demonstration of how various vaccines and other injectable pharmaceuticals appear under the microscope… During these demonstrations, Ricardo explains the technology called Micro-Raman which identifies the unique frequency of graphene oxide… And about the “corona” or spike protein, Ricardo explains: ‘Well, the biomolecular corona is what happens in the biology, in the blood, when graphene gets in. It is surrounded by plasma proteins because, logically, proteins have structural functions. What they will do is try to engulf, to wrap, the material in order to pass it unnoticed’.” – Comment: This is possibly one of the most important posts on the entire Internet now.
Hello “Project Icebreaker”, Goodbye Financial Freedom. The Dangers of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) – “Project Icebreaker” is managed and developed by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) – by Brandon Smith – https://www.globalresearch.ca/hello-project-icebreaker-goodbye-financial-freedom/5815537 – ‘”There has been extensive discussion in the past couple of years within alternative media circles about the dangers of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs); a currency framework very similar to blockchain based products like bitcoin but directly controlled by central bankers… CDBCs are a threat that some analysts including myself have been writing about for more than a decade, so it’s good to finally see the issue being addressed more in the mainstream… The economics of enslavement: The Orwellian nature of CBDCs cannot be overstated… In a cashless society people would be dependent on digital products for exchanging goods and labor, and this would of course mean the end of all privacy in trade. Basically, everything you buy or sell or work for in your life would be recorded, and this lack of anonymity could easily be used to stifle your freedoms…For example, say you like to eat steak regularly, but the “green” government decides to list red meat as a health risk and a “climate change risk,” due to carbon emissions from cows. They determine by your purchase history (which they now have full access to) that you have contributed more carbon pollution than most people by eating red meat often. They declare that you must pay a retroactive carbon tax on your past purchases of red meat. Not only that, but your insurance company sends you a letter indicating that you are now a risk and they cut off your health coverage… Other products you might consume and services you use can be tracked to create a psychological profile on you, which could then become a factor in determining your social credit score as they do often in China… Maybe you refuse or forgot to purchase your annual mRNA booster shot, and the tracking algorithm makes a note of this. Now you are under suspicion for being “anti-vax” and your social credit score plummets, cutting you off from various public venues. Maybe you are even fired from your job… In the worst case scenario, though, economic access is the greatest oppressive tool.”
This is already happening as you read this – .https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/files/other20190805a1.pdf – On Weds. April 12, I got links, from what I assume were 4 different marketing affiliates, to a marketing presentation from weissratings.com. In the canned presentation from the founder, Martin Weiss, I got an earful about this Fed pdf document linked above (92 pages) describing the most invasive control and surveillance program, IMO, ever perpetrated by anyone associated with the Rogue U.S. Govt. I’m pasting in a brief, all things considered, section from the start of this massive doc below:
“FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM Docket No. OP – 1670 Federal Reserve Actions to Support Interbank Settlement of Faster Payments
AGENCY: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ACTION: Notice and request for comment. SUMMARY: The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) has determined that the Federal Reserve Banks (Reserve Banks) should develop a new interbank 24x7x365 real- time gross settlement service with integrated clearing functionality to support faster payments in the United States. The new service would support depository institutions’ provision of end-to- end faster payment services and would provide infrastructure to promote ubiquitous, safe, and efficient faster payments in the United States. In addition, the Federal Reserve intends to explore expanded hours for the Fedwire ® Funds Service and the National Settlement Service, up to 24x7x365, to support a wide range of payment activities, including liquidity management in private-sector real-time gross settlement services for faster payments. Subject to the outcome of additional analysis of relevant operational, risk, and policy considerations, the Board will seek public comment separately on plans to expand hours for the Fedwire Funds Service and the National Settlement Service.
DATES: Comments on the proposed actions must be received on or before [INSERT 90 DAYS AFTER DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER].”
Heads up, INCOMING. In his presentation, Weiss suggested that 50 major US banks could be operating through the new Fed payment facility (Fed Now) as early as next month. He also implies that all of the transactions through this facility will be subject to surveillance by the “Federal Reserve.” This is, as is well known, NOT a lawful agency of the “Constitutional” U.S. Government, but a private Cartel permitted by actors in that government to unlawfully control and manipulate the nation’s monetary system. It should have absolutely no jurisdiction to create anything like a single payment facility for the entire economy. This seems to fulfill all of the goals of a Central Bank Digital Currency system all in one fell swoop. Hence the name chosen for it: “Fed Now” !!!
Biden to Spend $5 Billion on New Coronavirus Vaccine Initiative Supported by Gates, Fauci and Republican Lawmakers – by Michael Nevradakis – https://www.globalresearch.ca/biden-spend-5-billion-new-coronavirus-vaccine-initiative-supported-gates-fauci-republican-lawmakers/5815807 – The U.S. government will spend $5 billion on a program to accelerate the development of new coronavirus vaccines and therapeutics, White House officials announced this week in an interview with The Washington Post… Dubbed “Project NextGen,” the new initiative will serve as the successor to the Trump administration’s “Operation Warp Speed,” launched in March 2020 to expedite the development of COVID-19 vaccines… Similar to Operation Warp Speed, Project NextGen — with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation — will encourage public-private partnerships… According to Reuters, the project will be managed out of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which will coordinate across various government agencies and private-sector actors, covering ‘all phases of development from lab research and clinical trials to delivery.’.. ‘Scientists, public heath [sic] experts and politicians have called for the initiative, warning that existing therapies have steadily lost their effectiveness and that new ones are needed,’ the Post reported… The new initiative is based on a “roadmap” for the development of new coronavirus vaccines, formulated by the University of Minnesota and led by a former Biden administration official.”
The West Needs a New Strategy in Ukraine – A Plan for Getting From the Battlefield to the Negotiating Table – by Richard Haass and Charles Kupchan – https://www.foreignaffairs.com/ukraine/russia-richard-haass-west-battlefield-negotiations – ‘After just over a year, the war in Ukraine has turned out far better for Ukraine than most predicted. Russia’s effort to subjugate its neighbor has failed. Ukraine remains an independent, sovereign, functioning democracy, holding on to roughly 85 percent of the territory it controlled before Russia’s 2014 invasion. At the same time, it is difficult to feel sanguine about where the war is headed. The human and economic costs, already enormous, are poised to climb as both Moscow and Kyiv ready their next moves on the battlefield. The Russian military’s numerical superiority likely gives it the ability to counter Ukraine’s greater operational skill and morale, as well as its access to Western support. Accordingly, the most likely outcome of the conflict is not a complete Ukrainian victory but a bloody stalemate… Against this backdrop, calls for a diplomatic end to the conflict are understandably growing. But with Moscow and Kyiv both vowing to keep up the fight, conditions are not yet ripe for a negotiated settlement. Russia seems determined to occupy a larger chunk of the Donbas. Ukraine appears to be preparing an assault to break the land bridge between the Donbas and Crimea, clearing the way, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky often asserts, for Ukraine to fully expel Russian forces and restore its territorial integrity.”
OK, more surprising (to me) info on Federal Reserve Docket No. OP-1670 – It was published in (hope you’re sitting down) on 08/09/2019 – That’s Twenty-Frickin’-Nineteen !!! – Before “Convid.” Comments were closed on 11/07/2019. Check it out – https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/08/09/2019-17027/federal-reserve-actions-to-support-interbank-settlement-of-faster-payments – So, apparently the plan to enslave the American people was fully rounded out almost four years ago, before anyone had even heard of the wonder of Fed Now… So relieved to know that they are just “supporting” faster payments for us all… Came out just about the time our friends at Blackrock came out with plans for the “Going Direct Reset.”
Escobar: Waiting For The End Of The World – by Pepe Escobar – https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/escobar-waiting-end-world – “We cannot even begin to fathom the non-stop ripple effects deriving from the 2023 geopolitical earthquake that shook the world: Putin and Xi, in Moscow, de facto signaling the beginning of the end of Pax Americana… This has been the ultimate anathema for rarified Anglo-American hegemonic elites for over a century: a signed, sealed, comprehensive strategic partnership of two peer competitors, intertwining a massive manufacturing base and pre-eminence in supply of natural resources – with value-added Russian state of the art weaponry and diplomatic nous… From the point of view of these elites, whose Plan A was always a debased version of the Roman Empire’s Divide and Rule, this was never supposed to happen. In fact, blinded by hubris, they never saw it coming. Historically, this does not even qualify as a remix of the Tournament of Shadows; it’s more like Tawdry Empire Left in the Shade, ‘foaming at the mouth’ (copyright Maria Zakharova).”
Wagner Chief Calls On Putin To Declare End Of War, “Gain Firm Foothold” On Held Territories – by Tyler Durden – https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/wagner-group-chief-calls-putin-declare-end-war-gain-firm-foothold-held-territories – Head of Russia’s most prominent mercenary firm Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has issued an unexpected call for the Kremlin to declare an end of the war in order to consolidate territory already gained… A Friday statement by Prigozhin released by his press service suggested it’s time to declare ‘victory’ and to focus on fully establishing Russian control over the occupied territories of Ukraine… ‘For the authorities [of the Russian Federation – ed.] and for society as a whole, it is necessary to put some kind of bold full stop in the “special military operation”,’ the Wagner chief said [emphasis ours]… The rare statement continued: ‘The ideal option is to announce the end of the special military operation, to inform everyone that Russia has achieved the results that it planned, and in a sense, we have really achieved them. We have ground a huge number of soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and can report to ourselves that our task has been completed’.”
