Appellate Court Puts Back in Force CDC’s Vaccine Passports Requirement and Other Mandates on Cruises
Posted on July 19, 2021 by Adam DickJuly 19, 2021
There was some great news last month when the state of Florida won, in a United States district court, a preliminary injunction against the enforcement of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) mandates, including for vaccine passports, under the CDC’s draconian and unprecedented “conditional sailing order” imposed on cruises in the name of countering coronavirus. I provided details about the court decision in an article here.
Unfortunately, late Saturday night — before the district court’s preliminary injunction was set to take effect on Sunday, a panel of three judges of the 11th Circuit decided by a two to one vote to stay the preliminary injunction pending appeal. The appellate court’s decision thus dictates that the CDC’s mandates on cruises, and cruise ship crews and passengers, remain enforceable for the time being.
Responding to news of the appellate court’s decision, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is pledging to continue the fight in the courts to remove the CDC mandates on cruises. In a Monday Orlando Weekly article by Tom Urban and Jim Saunders, DeSantis is quoted as follows
“We are absolutely going to pursue getting the stay removed, either at the full 11th Circuit or at the U.S. Supreme Court. I think probably to the full 11th Circuit en banc,” DeSantis said during an appearance in Central Florida.
En banc consideration would involve all judges of the circuit court weighing in on the matter, a process that could yield a different result than was obtained in the split three judge panel decision.
Further quoted in the Orlando Weekly article, DeSantis expresses optimism that the state of Florida will ultimately be successful in its court battle against the CDC’s mandates for cruises:
“I think most courts at this point have had their limit of the CDC issuing these dictates without a firm statutory basis,” DeSantis said. “I am confident we’d win on the merits at the full 11th Circuit, and obviously I am confident we would win at the U.S. Supreme Court.”
Hopefully, DeSantis’ prediction of victory proves correct.

26 September 2022 - MEDIEVAL FRESCOES REVEALED DURING WW11
MEDIEVAL FRESCOES
DURING WW11
When occupying Nazi troops detonated a mine below, medieval frescoes were revealed in this small cliff-side hermitage in Italy.
The Eremo di San Cataldo (Hermitage of Saint Cataldus) is built into a steep cliff by the road connecting Contigliano to Cottanello in the region of Sabina, northeast of Rome.
Its origins are unclear, and some historians believe that it could date back as far as the 10th century, a time when the nearby Abbey of Farfa controlled the region. However, it is first mentioned in the 16th century, along with the attribution to Saint Cataldus, seventh-century Bishop of Rochau and patron saint of the southern city of Taranto. The reason for this connection is obscure, and many theories have been discussed as to why this saint was chosen.
The present staircase to the site was built in 1888, along with the main road. It leads to the church, the only structure that survives today, partially dug into the rock.
The church plan is rather simple, with a vestibule and a frescoed chapel with an altar made of the famous local red marble from Cottanello (which was also used in the construction of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican), crowned by an upper floor with a bell tower.
The 11th- and 12th-century frescoes were discovered by chance after 1944, when the Germans detonated a mine on the road below, shattering the plaster holding Baroque frescoes that had been painted over them in the 17th century. The older, more valuable frescoes beneath include a remarkable Redeemer fresco, on the left side of the chapel, painted in a very Byzantine style. A Greek tau symbol painted in the fresco has been attributed to St. Francis, who traveled widely in Sabina, where he founded four monasteries.

MIDAO awarded Facilitation of DAO Registry Process by government of Marshall Islands
Pacific island nation passes into law the Decentralized Autonomous Organization Act of 2022, legally recognizing DAOs as domestic limited liability companies under the country’s existing laws, underscoring investment and exploration into decentralized ledger technologies
MAJURO, Marshall Islands, Dec. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a world-first, the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) announced today that the government has passed into law the Decentralized Autonomous Organizations Act of 2022, which legally recognizes DAOs and enables legal entities registered in the country to formally adopt DAO structures and governance tools. This development marks the furthest any country has gone in legalizing and encouraging the growth of decentralized entities and their associated elements, representing a unique opportunity for MIDAO’s facilitation of DAO Registry Process in the Marshall Islands.
The historic announcement comes amid growing calls for governments to introduce more regulatory oversight and scrutiny of blockchain and cryptocurrency. Following the collapse of the FTX centralized crypto exchange, many governments have announced plans for new legislation and beefed up enforcement from financial watchdog institutions. The government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands recognizes that a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach will not work in this sector, and recognizes the benefits that decentralization can bring to its economy.
“The Republic of the Marshall Islands is proud to be at the forefront of tech jurisprudence and compliance globally. With this adoption of the DAO Act of 2022, The Marshall Islands commits its courts and its resources to the burgeoning world of decentralization, and recognizes the unique place that decentralized autonomous organizations can hold not just in the blockchain space, but in the broader economy as well. We believe that our island nation is well-suited based on our history of shipping registration and compliance to take this step forward and offer DAOs a place to domicile easily, efficiently, and in a cost-effective manner,” said RMI Finance Minister Bransen Wase.
“We are in the midst of the blockchain revolution, and people all over the world are exploring new ways to organize and make decisions in a more efficient and egalitarian manner. Decentralized autonomous organizations present an enormous opportunity for people to organize in a more efficient and less hierarchical manner. We in the Marshall Islands recognize this unique moment to lead in this critical space,” said Bobby Muller, former RMI Chief Secretary, and President and Co-Founder of MIDAO.
The Decentralized Autonomous Organization Act of 2022 in the RMI legally accomplishes the following:
Allows DAOs to incorporate under the internationally recognized LLC structure, so long as they identify as a DAO LLC;
Allows for-profit DAOs and not-for-profit DAOs to register;
Recognizes DAO governance, voting processes, and framework, including tokenization;
Creates an investment fund for the government of RMI to continue education and training around DAOs and how to integrate them further into the economy;
Provides definitions and regulations for DAO formation, agreements, and use of smart contracts.
In an effort to attract DAOs and Web3 pioneers, this newly passed legislation establishes a DAO registry process, to be facilitated by MIDAO, a local company with the expertise to attract and explain why the RMI legal system is more beneficial to DAO structures than other jurisdictions in the world.
“During this crypto reset moment following FTX, it is critical that people understand this event would not have happened if the exchange were decentralized – DAO structures could have prevented this from happening. We are honored to work with the government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands who clearly understands the value of decentralization and that legal systems should evolve at the pace of technology,” said Adam Miller, CEO of MIDAO.
About MIDAO
MIDAO incorporates Decentralized Autonomous Organizations in the Marshall Islands, the only jurisdiction to recognize DAOs as they truly are – decentralized. MIDAO facilitates the process for DAOs by handling everything from setting up their legal entities, to providing a physical mailing address and submitting annual filings. MIDAO believes incorporation should be fast and easy so DAOs and their contributors can focus on building. MIDAO believes that DAOs represent the future of how humans organize ourselves and our resources.

Ready to Lose Again: Joe Biden, the Democrats, and the November 2020 Election
Apr 26, ’20 4:11 PM
Perhaps unsurprisingly, maybe even inevitably, it happened.
“It” as in former us president Barack Obama calling in favors which, in effect (and perhaps intentionally, albeit in a barely concealed way), propped up Joe Biden on Super Tuesday. Conveniently, and no doubt for plausible deniability, he fell just short of endorsing Biden. Even so, Obama helped consolidate Biden’s position as the Democrats’ nominee for the November 2020 presidential election.1 One by one, the Democratic contenders dutifully lined up for Biden: Beto O’Rourke, Pete Buttigieg, Michael Bloomberg, Amy Klobuchar, Andrew Yang, and Tulsi Gabbard.2 Elizabeth Warren has yet to declare her support for either Biden or Sanders.3
For now, the “New” Democrats won out over the fairly moderate, even conservative, social democrat Bernie Sanders, flanked by up-and-coming latter-day New Deal Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ro Khanna, Ayana Pressley, Ilhan Omar, et al.
Key words: For now.
As for the very near future, not even the long term, the Clinton-Obama-Biden fraction of the Democrats may have sealed the party’s fate. Biden’s candidacy, which appears likely, is the same tired approach of running “Republican lite” against an actual Republican.
That is to say: The “New” Democrat, as “Republican lite,” losing to the gop. A time-honored strategy of defeat.
In brief, the Democratic Party signed its death certificate and started building its own coffin.
Biden, a Republican in all but name, is no match for Donald Trump. To be cynical, one might as well stick with Trump.
None of the above, of course, is news for the left, the far left, the ultra-left, etc., but still worth noting given the ever rightward shift of the Beltway and the Democrats’ growing obsolescence. Concrete and ongoing political conditions matter, after all.
As for the results and prospects? Understandably and certainly not wrongly, demands for a leftist third party abound again. Socialist Alternative’s Kshama Sawant is already leading such an effort.4 However, Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Grim of The Intercept hold out hope for a Biden-Sanders ticket.5
That “progressives” are calling for these approaches, whatever the limitations, is understandable. Given the existing framework, why would they not make such demands? Nevertheless, this raises questions as to whether the Democratic Party apparatus is truly salvageable and whether attempts to “take over” and “steer” that party into a somewhat center-left direction are realistic. Here, the objective of establishing a leftist third party that can ably and substantially challenge the us duopoly comes off as more sensible.
These questions are important when one considers the history of the party: only the “New Deal” and “Great Society” eras amounted to the Democrats’ mildly pro-“social democratic” moments. Otherwise, historically and currently, they have been a right-wing party—a stronghold for Confederates, Dixiecrats, and…“New” Democrats.
Hardly a party “of the left.”
Not that this says anything, either, about the Republican Party—the quintessential party of the right and far right as well as Trump’s personality cult. A far cry, truly and tragically, from the bourgeois-democratic revolutionary role that the Radical Republicans crucially took on during the Reconstruction.6
As for 2020? It will be a 2016 redux—a replay of the presidential election from four years ago with Biden in Hillary Clinton’s place. Although Trump is a right-wing populist demagogue who encouraged neo-fascists, served ruling class interests via tax cuts, enabled corruption and cronyism, and nearly took the United States to war with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the Islamic Republic of Iran (and backed Israeli apartheid to the hilt), Biden offers nothing more than opposition from the right wing of the us political spectrum. Granted, he may, like Obama and Clinton, promote ever-so-slightly “progressive” policy positions. That is only because of pressure from the Sanders campaign.
Of course, nothing is completely settled. Biden is not yet the official nominee. Rumors as to Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York, possibly running for the presidency are also in the air. This is so given Cuomo’s stalwart attitude and approach to the current coronavirus crisis.7 To Democrats, Cuomo projects an aura of determination which may translate into actual leadership.
Indeed, James Larocca, a Democrat, echoes such a sentiment in Newsday: “If extraordinary times require extraordinary measures, and they do, then this is the time for the Democratic Party to nominate Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo for president.”8 Leaving aside practical considerations like weathering out the pandemic and starting on the campaign trail just several months before the election, maybe Cuomo can use his experience during the covid-19 outbreak as leverage for a future presidential run—perhaps for 2024. There is still the question as to whether he will be any more “progressive” than the Clintons, the Obamas, O’Rourke, Buttigieg, Warren, Klobuchar, Biden, etc.
Probably not, as Jesse McKinley and Shane Goldmacher note in The New York Times:
The governor has a history, of course, of working with Republicans: until 2019, the New York Legislature had largely been split by virtue of the Republicans’ long hold on the State Senate, a situation which some progressive groups accused Mr. Cuomo of encouraging, as a way to thwart policies he felt were too liberal or impractical.9
Should there be a President Cuomo with a gop-controlled Congress (or at least the Senate), one can imagine a similar scenario playing out at a national level.
Cuomo aside, Biden’s record speaks for itself.10
He worked with Dixiecrat segregationists and opposed school integration.11 Biden, as president, is willing to veto a “Medicare for All” bill, thus preventing the implementation of single-payer healthcare.12 His support for the us invasion and occupation of Iraq is, needless to say, a sign of his advocacy for us imperialism and militarism.13
This is the “New” Democrats’ idea of opposing the far right, the Republicans, and Trump: By tacking as usual to the right.
The takeaway for leftists of all sorts? The Democrats are choosing, and moving towards, their self-destruction. That Obama even had to pull strings indicates the party’s corrupt and irredeemable nature. At least with the Democratic Party’s demise (granted, not a “given” yet), left-wing political organizations can try to fill the void. There is also ample space for proletarian uprisings from below.
Sanders definitely made a good-faith effort in moving the party into a social-democratic direction and, along the way, shifting the public discourse. For this, he deserves credit in a country that, to this day, still lacks the most basic social-democratic institutions. Shifting the “Overton window” in such a way, at least to the center-left, is nothing to scoff at. It is worth, and it means, much more than campaigning on “hope” and “change,” as was the case with a certain “New” Democrat in 2007 and 2008.
All the same, Obama’s stymying of Sanders’s campaign, no doubt with the Clintons’ approval and undoubtedly to Biden’s benefit, exposes a basic truth: Only the working class can free itself.

Book of Days
Original version 2:33 Gaelic 1991
New version 2:55 English/Gaelic 1992
I am collecting diaries more and more and I continue to be intrigued by thepossibilities of each blank page – what will it hold? I experience a mixture of sadness and exuberance when I think of lives laid out on a page or in a book. Personal histories of great loves, of journeys exotic and wonderful, of loss, fear and tragedy, of dreams and simple wishes.
Shepherd Moons music book, 1991
“Book of Days” was adapted from its original instrumental form as it first appeared on the album “Shepherd Moons”, for the Ron Howard film “Far and Away” which starred Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. The lyrics were written around the theme of the film.
Only Time:The Collection, 2002
Quotes about the song
Sometimes Roma is deciphering Enya’s own internal life and experiences. ‘Book of Days’ is derived from Enya’s personal diaries. “I’ve always had a diary, or another name for it is a ‘Book of Days,'” says Enya. “Roma felt, ‘what about ‘Book of Days’ because you believe so much in it, in having a Book of Days.’ And the lyrics, in Gaelic, are talking about the excitement of entering into a book of days first thing in the morning. Because you don’t really know what’s going to happen. And then it’s the expectation of that day really that she was talking about.”
Jazziz Magazine, 1992
enyabookofdays.com
Enya: Well there is a strong theme of ‘book of days’, because I have a book of days, a diary. And I’ve always kept one. And it was Roma’s suggestion again. Ah, she likes to be able to associate with me, because I’m the one who’s going to sing. There is some Gaelic in it.. in the instrumental version.. and it talks about the beginning of the day and the excitement, the expectations, one has. And it’s the eagerness of what is to become of this day. And when Ron Howard approached us, for the film Far and Away, it was similar in a way because there were these two people, and we watch their ‘book of days’, their diary, of how they met up and how they went across to America. And so it was quite easy to interpret the lyrics with the song, because it was still associated with the theme that was originally there.
One To One, ITV, 1993
Enya originally recorded ‘Book of Days’ in Gaelic with a lot of vocalisation. When Ron Howard approached her to write a song for his upcoming movie ‘Far and Away,’ Enya re-recorded ‘Book of Days’ with English lyrics that turned around the theme of the film. The new version was consequently released as a single and replaced the original Gaelic one on almost all the pressings of the album (Taiwan retained the Gaelic version).
The song was used in the first trailer for James Cameron’s 1997 ‘Titanic’ film before the actual soundtrack was composed.

02 As Baile
03 Morning Glory
The video, directed by Michael Geoghegan, features scenes from the ‘Far and Away’ movie starring Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise. It was not included on ‘The Video Collection’ nor ‘The Very Best of Enya.’ ‘The Video Collection’ replaced it with a ‘Top of the Pops’ performance and ‘The Very Best of Enya’ completely omitted the song.

English/Gaelic lyrics
One day, one night, one moment
– my dreams could be tomorrow.
One step, one fall, one falter,
East or West, over earth or by ocean,
one way to be my journey;
-this way could be my book of days..
O la go la, mo thuras,
An bealach fada romham.
O oiche go hoich, mo thuras,
na scealta na mbeidh a chioch.
No day, no night, no moment
will hold me back from trying,
I’ll fly, I’ll fall, I’ll falter,
I’ll find my day – maybe far and away…
with a dream to believe in.
found a new earth across a wide ocean.
This way became my journey.
This day ends together – far and away.
Far and away.
lyrics by Roma Ryan
EMI Music Publishing Ltd, 1991
From day to day, my journey.
The long road before me.
From night to night, my journey.
The stories that will be lost forever.

OPERATION CORONA BIO-TERROR
A Complex Psyop Perpetrated to
Distract, Enforce Mandatory Vaccinations
and Coerce China to Comply with
American Demands
IMPORTANT UPDATE: CORONAVIRUS BIOWEAPON UPDATE: Unique HIV-1 Signatures Confirmed by Team of Indian Scientists
Everything Points to Biowarfare Being Used Against China
by the Western Powers Which Seek to Contain Her
Growing Power and Influence in the World
Given the multiple and serious woes that China has suffered from during 2019, it comes as no surprise that the Western powers would now resort to full-scale biowarfare.
WEAPONIZED CORONAVIRUS: “Bioengineered as a self-replicating weapon system”
If there’s one last hit to the economy that China doesn’t need right now, it’s a global pandemic that ‘supposedly’ originated in Wuhan, the sprawling capital of Central China’s Hubei province (see map below with the red marker identifying Wuhan).
See how Wuhan is located right in the center of China’s highly productive southeast region—the economic powerhouse of the nation. This strategic location was selected for the biological attack because of the easily engineered vectors of disease dissemination as depicted by the map above. Paralyzing China’s economic and financial sectors is, after all, a primary goal of this essentially Anglo-American black operation. See: Why the coronavirus is a real threat to China’s economy
In light of the US-staged Hong Kong protests, U.S. tariff regime against China, threat of economic sanctions against nations working with Huawei, CIA-inflamed Xinjiang conflict involving the Muslim Uyghurs, provocative sailing of US Navy warships through the Taiwan Strait, transparent political prosecution of Huawei’s CFO, ravaging of China’s pig farms by another DARPA-bioengineered virus, etc., the Chinese government has been under withering attack since 2018.
When so many debilitating assaults are suspiciously happening at once, what can China do except deal with them in a manner so as to expose the true culprits. However, China is not likely to do that in the case of this intensifying bio-war being waged by the West.
SARS conspiracy theory
The original SARS pandemic that took place in China after the turn of the millennium was also well-known in bio-medical circles as a naked act of biowarfare. Like this year’s coronavirus bio-attack in Wuhan, the bioengineered SARS outbreak also involved a highly coordinated campaign of propaganda and disinformation. See: Is the new ‘deadly China virus’ a covert operation?
However, the administration of Xi Jinping is much too concerned about the panic that would inevitably result if the populace was informed of a full-blown bioweapon attack. The precipitating chaos would simply overwhelm the government in Beijing which is already on serious overload because of the endless interference by the Anglo-American Axis.
The SARS outbreak that occurred from 2002 to 2003 has already shown that China is not willing to release the hard scientific evidence that proves the premeditated release of a bioengineered coronavirus.
The following excerpt from Wikipedia explains some of the background of SARS—the Severe acute respiratory syndrome epidemic that took place primarily in mainland China and Hong Kong, but also in Canada and other countries.
Excerpt from SARS conspiracy theory
Wuhan Coronavirus of 2020
The rapidly spreading Wuhan coronavirus, also known as Novel coronavirus, that was first reported in 2019 has all the hallmarks of yet another bioengineered virus in a U.S. Military laboratory to hit China.
What follows is a short description form Wikipedia of this Novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV).
Time will tell whether this deadly coronavirus was released into the Chinese population with the intent to kill and sicken, scare and intimidate. The current intimidation phase of such an ongoing black operation is certainly aimed at the government in Beijing which refuses to be coerced and threatened by the Trump administration.
Because the highly disruptive, Western-backed Hong Kong protests have yet to yield the result desired by the U.S. State Department, it was only a matter of time before the C.I.A. implemented Plan B…or is this Plan C or D? Nothing delivers a such a loud and clear message from the Anglo-America imperium like a highly infectious and often fatal plague. Such odious techniques have been used with efficacy since the Black Plague was deliberately let loose on Europe in the 14th century.
KEY POINT: The replication process (see diagram above) of this particular coronavirus, and how quickly it mutates and/or adapts to various pharmaceutical treatment regimens, will reveal exactly how this pathogenic microorganism was bioengineered by U.S. bioweapon labs.
The $64,000 question here is: Why is China always the epicenter for so many strains and variations of coronaviruses, influenzas, pneumonia viruses and other highly contagious infection agents that strike the major commercial centers on southeastern Chinese mainland. (Remember, the British owned and operated Hong Kong from 1841 to 1997 while setting up a city-wide intelligence apparatus and shadow government infrastructure that remains intact today.)
What’s particularly suspicious about all of these outbreaks in China is that they are each described by the Mainstream Media (MSM) as quite dangerous to human health. The mortality rate in the beginning of these eventual pandemics is especially high, as if by purposeful design of the bioengineers. In this way, the whole world is eventually drawn into a pandemic melodrama that’s certainly designed to fear-monger. Hence, more of these endless distractions serve the specific purpose of taking the attention away from real problems caused by governments the world over. But it’s the numerous criminal conspiracies at work and shocking scandals which have recently come to light which the elites seek to cover up by this ongoing and super-distraction event.
You know it’s a distraction when Drudge hypes it like this.There are relatively few military bioweaponry labs in the world that have the capability to create such a contagious and fatal virus as the coronavirus. Thus, when the truth is confirmed about the Wuhan flu, there will be only a few state actors who could have been behind these acts of biowarfare against the Chinese people. In reality, should this Wuhan coronavirus outbreak become a full-blown epidemic in China it could represent an attempt to commit genocide. Likewise, if it becomes a bona fide pandemic, it could ultimately be labeled a crime against humanity, perhaps even humanity-wide genocide (also known as a depopulation event).
It’s of paramount importance to understand that there really is a vast and highly organized New World Order conspiracy to foist a One World Government on the world community of nations. See: Is this Bill Gates’ long-awaited excuse to usher in global governance?
There are several main pillars of this New World Order agenda, one of which is being stealthily put into place by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Likewise, Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg are insidiously erecting one of the primary social media pillars of this NWO agenda as is Tony Dorsey at Twitter and Susan Wojcicki at YouTube. Bill and Hillary Clinton are using the Clinton Foundation to take advantage of poor countries around the world while surreptitiously laying the foundation for future exploitation on a mass scale just as George Soros & Sons are deceitfully creating new societies via geoengineered climate change, multiculturalism and cultural marxism. The crucial point is that all of these high-paid globalists are intimately connected to each other and covertly working to advance the same nation-destroying U.N. agendas. See: PEDOGATE: Epstein cofounded Clinton Global Initiative, Bill Gates hung out with Epstein AFTER conviction
Fabricating global crises is at the very core of these various NWO sub-agendas. Two of the ‘scariest’ manufactured catastrophes are those that severely impact the biosphere (e.g. global warming) and undermine human health (e.g. deadly pandemics). In this way, false pretexts are being cunningly constructed to justify the establishment of an all-powerful One World Government. Toward that end, the NWO globalist cabal knows that they must first sufficiently manufacture consent so that the people demand a totalitarian form of global governance to manage these public health disasters and environmental catastrophes.
Multi-billionaires such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Mark Zuckerberg and George Soros were all given their fortunes mostly through exorbitant corporate compensation plans, insider trading, currency manipulations, off-shore tax evasion schemes, and other forms of criminal unconscionable enrichment. Once they received those ill-gotten gains, they were completely own by the International Banking Cartel (IBC).
The IBC then directs the expenditures of every single dollar given to these made tycoons, most of which are allocated toward carrying out the NWO implementation plan. The pet projects listed on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation website are examples of that nefarious plan. Of course, the whole world now knows that their primary pet project is their worldwide Super-Vaccination Agenda, where every single person is vaccinated every year, on time, and micro-chipped accordingly. What better way to completely control the global population? See: India To Prosecute Bill Gates For Using Tribal Children To Conduct Illegal Vaccine Test
There is no better way to enforce a mandatory global vaccination schedule than to engineer a frightening pandemic with an exceedingly high mortality rate. Billions of people will then demand the newly formulated vaccine necessary to protect them from such a fatal infection and/or debilitating disease. Hence, before anyone receives such a vaccine, it’s important to know that the process REQUIRED to produce such an effective immunization can be a year-long period of intensive experimentation, if one is possible at all because of how intricately this coronavirus was bio-engineered to elude proper analysis and the necessary experimentation.
“It’s really quite easy for any of the various U.S. military bioweapon labs to bioengineer a deadly super-virus and then release it in a city as large as Wuhan, China. Acts of bioterrorism like this are carried out all the time. As a matter of historical fact, the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 actually originated at Fort Riley, Kansas where soldiers reported to the Army’s largest training facility during World War I. The soldiers who were [DELIBERATELY] infected with the H1N1 influenza virus then served as countless vectors of dissemination for the pandemic that ultimately killed as many as 100 million people worldwide. That single US-executed biowarfare operation against humanity was arguably the deadliest depopulation event in human history.” (See: Spanish Flu of 1918 Was Really a Bioterror Attack on Humanity)
— Intelligence Analyst & Former U.S. Army Officer
There’s no better way to compel a populace to comply with draconian vaccination regimens than to scare them with the prospect of a deadly pandemic. Governments around the world are constantly under pressure from the New World Order globalist cabal to implement the Super-Vaccination Agenda.
Toward that end, the world community of nations has been repeatedly victimized by manufactured measles outbreaks and ever-worsening flu seasons, so they tell us. See: Annual Flu Shot Programs and Staged Measles Outbreaks Are the Central Pillars of the Super-Vaccination Agenda
However, there really is much more to this story than meets the eye. Not only was the Wuhan coronavirus surreptitiously disseminated to serve as a major distraction from a rapidly collapsing Global Economic & Financial System, this state-sponsored black operation also represents the worst of predatory capitalism conducted as a means of generating revenue. Much more significantly, this staged pandemic will be furtively used to exert oppressive international controls on travel as well as impose draconian medical measures which greatly advance the Super-Vaccination Agenda.
Lastly, the timing of the deadly virus that ravaged China’s pig farms last year quite predictably triggered a call for the development of a preventative vaccine. What the following news report neglected to state was that the mass slaughter of pigs, in a society that demands LOTS of pork, was cynically planned to manufacture the urgent need for yet another vaccine. See: China’s Pig Farms Decimated by Virus—Was it bioengineered and spread on purpose?
The bottom line here is that the Wuhan coronavirus is likely another race-targeting bioweapon strategically unleashed throughout China by U.S. military labs
Special Note: People, everything points to this bio-terror attack being the BIG ONE (also known as the global depopulation scheme we’ve all been waiting for). This coronavirus is moving around the globe so fast, and being hyped by the Mainstream Media with such a vengeance, it’s as though this will be their primary tool for total global lockdown. If the infection rate continues to proliferate into a full-blown pandemic, like The Powers That Be did with the Spanish flu, then this really is the depopulation event many of us have warned about. This highly misguided and naked act of bio-terrorism could even evolve into an ELE, God forbid. There’s no question that 2020 promises to be a year of pervasive and profound transformation. The current state of affairs throughout the world cannot continue; it’s far too unstable and explosive. Hence, it’s quite likely that there will be a series of global catalysts that will prompt the necessary changes. While some of these apocalyptic calamities may seem terrifying at first, ultimately they will serve to contribute to the ongoing planetary catharsis. Whereas many folks will see all of these End-time crises as being intentionally manufactured by the power elite to save their own skins, REMEMBER, even the Dark Side can only act as the Highest Power permits. Also remember that, ultimately, “all things work together toward good”.
Lastly, the highly suspicious timing of this biological attack really is a dead giveaway. It was conspicuously carried out with great deliberation during the December of 2019 so that it could be greatly exacerbated throughout the week just prior to the celebration of the Chinese New Year. The New Year is by far the biggest nationwide holiday when festivities shut down normal business for a week, if not longer in some locales. Clearly, the perpetrators chose this normally celebratory period to rain on their parade(s), dampen the spirit of the Chinese people and wreck China’s economy. See: Was the Wuhan coronavirus a well-planned hit job to disrupt the Chinese New Year? (Video)
SOTN Editor’s Note: This Alt Media platform has received a plethora of evidence that supports every single word in this scathing exposé. Some of that evidence is presented in the following numerous updates. As a U.S.-based intelligence-gathering website, SOTN extends our sincerest condolences to the people of China. We Americans know there is nothing that the U.S. Federal Government and UK Government, as well as their foreign proxies, will not do to maintain the worldwide US-UK Empire. While these culprits incessantly conduct extremely destructive black operations in our name and with our tax dollars, we staunchly disavow and robustly condemn this terrible assault on China.
SUPER-VACCINATION AGENDA Being Foisted On The USA 24/7
After seeing their whole country burned down by Operation Torch Australia, how could the Australian government possibly refuse globalist orders to develop a coronavirus vaccine. (See: Always obeying their NWO globalist masters, Australia swiftly develops coronavirus vaccine!) As it was previously stated, the typical Hegelian Dialectic Problem~Reaction~Solution strategy will now be used to foist a toxic vaccination regimen on the entire planetary civilization.
The NWO globalist cabal knows that fastidiously bioengineered viruses, especially those which are hardwired to rapidly morph and mutate so as to elude an effective remedy, are the most effective depopulation weapons in their arsenal. See: The bioengineered Spanish flu that killed upwards of 100 MILLION people originated at Fort Riley, Kansas
Even popular Alt Media platforms are being used to float planted propaganda and false narratives — PREEMPTIVELY — in order to deflect any and all attention from this transparent bio-terror attack by the West. See this purposeful headline, which is usually issued by the CIA’s Mockingbird Media, as an example of such a diversionary tactic and strategic misdirection: The Real Umbrella Corp: Wuhan Ultra Biohazard Lab Was Studying “The World’s Most Dangerous Pathogens”.
Fear-mongering headlines about China such as this one will only intensify until President Xi Jinping bends to the will of the Trump administration regarding the “trade deal from hell”: China On Edge Of Chaos: “7 Cities, 23 Million People Under Quarantine”. Oh, and by the way, the headlines now read like this today: “Beijing Calls In Military As Virus Overwhelms Wuhan Hospitals”. Who, pray tell, will travel to China in 2020 in view of these swiftly deteriorating conditions?! Who will want to do business there? Exactly—NO ONE. Which is exactly what the real perps wanted to achieve.
Will the utter panic being fueled by social media in China be used as a pretext to shut down vast swaths of the Internet? Both Big Tech and Big Social Media have been frenetically looking for ways to terminate the Alt Media. Here’s what the ever-prevaricating New York Times featured today: Panic and Criticism Spread on Chinese Social Media Over Coronavirus. We’re not saying it didn’t happen; only that the Mainstream Media will do whatever is necessary to destroy the emerging Fifth Estate. See: Fifth Estate Looms Larger Than Ever as Alt Media Exposes NWO Agenda and Deep State Treason
There’s an extremely malevolent aspect to this bio-terror operation: WEAPONIZED CORONAVIRUS: “Bioengineered as a self-replicating weapon system”
Why didn’t the U.S. implement the same type of border screenings as Russia and India? (See: Deadly Chinese coronavirus arrives in US as Russia, India & others boost border screenings) The southern border, especially in California, is so porous and vulnerable to illegal aliens with deadly contagious diseases crossing over that any enemy could send infected Trojan horses into the Southwest all day long.
The United States Government is already notorious for recklessly releasing dangerous infection agents and contagious viruses into the national environment, as well as in foreign countries. One of the worst of these bio-terror operations unleashed in the 50 states concerns the multi-decade epidemic known as Lyme disease. For the unaware, the following video exposé spells it out in graphic detail: The Officially Ignored Link Between Bioengineered Lyme Disease and the Plum Island Bioweapon Laboratory
As suspected, the NWO perps are taking this bioengineered pandemic global very, VERY quickly. The United States now has 3 confirmed cases and 63 suspected ones. See: 46 Million Chinese Are Now Under Quarantine, More Than All Of California; Virus Jumps To Europe
‘SPREADS THROUGH EYES’: Coronavirus vectors of transmission increasing
They know how to time these terror operations: A ‘High-Level Exercise’ Conducted 3 Months Ago Showed That A Coronavirus Pandemic Could Kill 65 Million People
More and more Alt Media sites are calling this a hoax. While there may be aspects and details that are proven to be fake, that does not mean the entire psyop / black op is a hoax. As the perps often do, they blend grim realities with obvious falsehoods in order to confuse investigative journalists who then promote their own fictitious narrative. This tendency must be resisted until we see how this factually evolves. See: It’s way too early for the Alt Media to call this developing pandemic a hoax.
And along comes a PhD Toxicologist who really knows what he’s talking about regarding this particular coronavirus. Despite a degree from Duke University’s Department of Pathology, this trained scientist has left the reservation of political correctness and breaks it all down in this informative video: Coronavirus Is Worse Than You’ve Been Told.
Every bioengineered pandemic, especially those that have gone unidentified and/or unacknowledged, have a specific purpose for the targeted populations and bloodlines. Whereas the Spanish flu was as a full-scale depopulation event, the Epstein-Barr virus released during the 1960s was a stealthy bio-terror attack with a highly hidden agenda. The rebellious Beatniks and Baby Boomers were the explicit target of the EBV stealth virus as their health has greatly suffered since those original bouts of Mononucleosis. Likewise, everything now points to the great likelihood that the present act of bio-terrorism in China was conducted to expose as many people as possible in order to degrade the overall health status and undermine the immune systems of the susceptible populations. This is why the Chinese bloodlines were specifically targeted; they have been set up to suffer a similar fate as those who still suffer from EBV Stage IV some 50 years after that bio-crime. This analysis certainly does not preclude the distinct possibility that the Wuhan bio-attack could end up morphing into a major depop event. Only time will tell.
An essential revisiting of the Spanish flu genocide reveals that it was the prescribed aspirin which turned that influenza into such a mass killer. Therefore, it’s imperative that every person who contracts Wuhan coronavirus understands their treatment plan and is not taking any medicine(s) that can worsen it. Certain drug interactions, in particular, can significantly increase the severity of certain types of flu and their various symptoms. See: BEWARE: Spanish Flu Mortality Rate Soared Because of Doctor-prescribed Medicines Especially Aspirin
What’s vital to correctly comprehend throughout this unfolding global drama is that there are multiple scenarios developing in different parts of the world as various covert schemes are being executed by the perpetrators. None of these scenarios are necessarily mutually exclusive. While some of them described in these updates may even appear to contradict each other, they can all be true and/or operative at the same time. For instance, it has been reported that Man Who Pushed SARS Dud Now Pushing New Chinese Virus. That factoid might lead many to believe that the current outbreak is a media-generated hoax, when in reality it could be much worse than what is represented by the MSM. In other words, this complex conspiracy was made quite complicated and confusing on purpose to confound both medical researchers and scientific investigators alike.
What makes Wuhan coronavirus so challenging to closely monitor and potentially decimating is this: Coronavirus Stealth Strain Bioengineered to Avoid Detection in Carriers Who Present No Symptoms The U.S. military labs have been hard at work over decades perfecting their newfangled bioweapons. What that means is that a previous pandemic — known or silent — is craftily utilized to lay the foundation for a future one that, when overlaid, triggers a whole new multi-infection syndrome which is both deadly and difficult to identify, much less treat successfully. There are also multiple chemtrail aerosol formulations that are used to activate different flu pathogens that line the respiratory tract. That’s why so many now complain of both Chemtrail Flu and Chemtrail Syndrome. See: CHEMTRAIL SYNDROME: A Global Pandemic Of Epic Proportions
Now we know: Why are these 80 scientists now dead? And, why are they all microbiologists?
This critical update is arguably the most important of all because of the revised history that is presents: Spanish Flu Genocide Was Really Caused by Vaccinations. Hence, the Chinese medial authorities had better look closely at the vaccines being administered throughout the Wuhan greater metro area. As is often the case, the steady application of Occam’s razor will likely solve the primordial cause mystery. This HUGE revelation does not mean that the Spanish flu “aspirin theory” is not relevant; for that ‘medical mistake’ served to put the influenza outbreak on super steroids ON PURPOSE.
If these photos and testimonies coming out of Wuhan China are true, then the degree of media censorship occurring right now is quite extraordinary by any standard. The following link contains GRAPHIC photos and shocking testimony that were posted by an ex-FBI agent: A Former FBI Agent with the Terrorism Task Force Posted Smuggled Photos and Videos of China Chaos.
Ever since SARS first appeared on the scene in China, it was as though there was a fierce competition heating up between the United States and China. The basic dynamic is that the Chinese are always trying to stay a step ahead of the latest act of bio-terrorism perpetrated on the mainland. So, as the U.S. military bioweapon labs forever create new biological weapons that are race-targeting, the Chinese labs are developing various antidotes and vaccines to prevent an overwhelming epidemic like we see today. See: Are these coronavirus patents being acquired to weaponize the virus, develop profitable vaccines, or both?!
Was the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic deliberately blown up as a major distraction just a few days before the planned January 25th 5G global protest? “YES ! ! !”
There is some serious speculation about the secret strategy of fabricating a stealth virus that scares the heck out of everyone in order to compel and coerce citizenries around the world to get the soon-to-be-developed vaccine. In view of the severe pushback by parents everywhere to the pernicious childhood vaccination schedules, The Powers That Be had to come up with a plan. Only a mandatory vaccination campaign to address a deadly virus like the Wuhan coronavirus could reverse the rising tide of anger and rebelliousness against those institutionalized crimes known as medical rape and medicide by vaccine. Hence, the Wuhan coronavirus was likely bioengineered to meet all the most concerning criteria whereby the people will soon be demanding a vaccine, just the way the perps designed it. The more crucial point here is that any vaccine the bioweapon labs concoct will inevitably cause an infection in a significant segment of the vaccinated population, which will only keep this pandemic going ad infinitum. Even more significantly is the fact that such a vaccine will contain undisclosed ingredients which will produce even worse symptoms and/or disease for the vaccine victim in the future (e.g. Autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, Allergies, MCS, EI Syndrome).
Another Graphic Insider Report on China’s Coronavirus Crisis: Coronavirus in China: 23 Million QUARANTINED, 2.8 Million Infected; 112,000 DEAD
There is an intimate connection between the recent 5G roll-out in Wuhan City and the explosion of the coronavirus in the same geographic area. Several of the primary symptoms of this virus can also be caused by exposure to 5G radio-frequency signal ranges and microwave radiation. The millimeter waves associated with 5G are especially harmful and proven to undermine the human immune system. As follows:
Scientists warn of potential serious health effects of 5G including many influenza symptoms
Exposure to 5G millimeter waves leads to ……..“flu-like symptoms”.
Let’s not forget that this bio-terror attack was calculated to take place during the week of the Chinese New Year, perhaps the biggest holiday of the year. Not only that, but this year — 2020 — celebrates the Year of the Rat, the first year of the 12-year cycle which sets the pace for the time ahead. Such meticulous timing for a biological attack could only have been set by China’s arch enemies. This event has not only destroyed any hope of economic recovery in the wake of the Trump tariffs, it has greatly demoralized the citizenry. (See: Doing business in China just got a LOT harder—Was it planned that way? ) . As the Drudge Report quite disrespectfully posted, the perps sent a big ugly “Happy Flu Year”. What they failed to realize, however, is that there will be blowback.
What cannot be overlooked is the suspicious timing of the Wuhan bio-attack relative to the formal announcement of President Trump’s ‘peace plan’ on Tuesday, January 28, 2020 (that’s today). Not only is this not a peace plan, the Palestinians had no part in its formulation and negotiation. What Trump is really offering is an Israeli annexation scheme designed to coerce the State of Palestine into a very bad deal. How does anything good come out of a deal put together by Benjamin Netanyahu, Benny Gantz, Donald Trump and Jared Kushner where it concerns the future of the Palestinians? That’s right—nothing but more pain and suffering will come from this transparent scam. Which is why the timing of its official presentation to the world-at-large is quite suspect taking place in the midst of the ongoing pandemic scare (and impeachment trial). Are the other world power expected to endorse the “crazy peace plan” under threat of a coronavirus bio-terror attack?! See: Trump’s ‘peace plan’ is theater of the absurd
There are several ridiculous narratives circulating throughout the Alt Media that suggest this whole pandemic scare is a hoax. Surely, a city with over 11 million people — Wuhan, China — would not look like this if this strain of coronavirus was not a very serious health hazard: Inside Wuhan: Daily life in China’s coronavirus quarantine zone (Video). Furthermore, Chinese doctors would not risk their lives to put out dire warnings such as this one: Infected Chinese Doctor Warns N95 Masks Do Not Protect Against Coronavirus. There is also this brave resident of Wuhan who risked his life to provide a reality check via YouTube: Wuhan citizen risks his life to tell what’s really happening with coronavirus crisis (Video)
Definitive proof that Coronavirus is a globalist bioweapon
Any ongoing global event of this enormity and gravity demands an answer to the question: Qui bono? There is one answer in particular that prominently stands out which is addressed in this link: BIOTERRORISM: Is this why the bioengineered coronavirus was released in Wuhan, China?!
Ever since the devastating Opium Wars, the British have shown their total disregard for the Chinese people. Hence, it comes as no surprise that UK-based universities would be a publicly debating the “snakes vs bats” source of the Wuhan coronavirus. What better way to deflect from the real cause of this emerging pandemic—an Anglo-American bioengineered stealth virus developed in a DARPA laboratory. (See: How the coronavirus was traced back to the British Crown) No one does naked propaganda like the Brits; they’ve already successfully orchestrated a worldwide drama around “snakes vs bats” that will stick only because of the meticulously timed Tavistock meme that it is. That such a technologically advanced and rapidly mutating bioweapon such as the Wuhan coronavirus came from either animal could be viewed as either another Shakespearean comedy or tragedy or both (“Crown” is derived from the Latin word “corona”).
What is likely to be the subject of endless debate in the future is whether the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic caused the Second Great Depression by a quirk of fate (i.e. bad timing) or by intentional design (i.e. MIHOP = TPTB made it happen on purpose). The NWO globalist cabal knows that if they execute a controlled demolition of the GE&FS via the FED, they will be held responsible as never before. On the other hand, if they use this unfolding pandemic to trigger a market crash, they have an out … … … so they think. See PANDEMIConium: If January market trends, economic data and financials are any indication, 2020 is gonna get ugly—REAL UGLY!
There’s always a LOT of confusion within the Alt Media when global apocalyptic events like this take place. What eventually happens is that various camps of belief form, regarding both the facts of the conspiratorial plot as well as its ultimate goal, which often rigidify into opposing groups. During the ensuing debates, people get totally lost in the fog of disinformation, misinformation and false information. Instead of watching the actual results on the ground closely, they debate about hypotheticals and trivia. The key point is that most of the well-thought-out perspectives may be entirely true concerning the NWO objectives, as they are rarely mutually exclusive. For example, we see this analysis as being both plausible and probable: Coronavirus Virus: Is Motive Profit or Depopulation (or both)?
CORONAVIRUS REALITY CHECK: China’s Response Has Not Been Accurately Represented by the Western Media
HUGE scientific development that proves the coronavirus was bioengineered as a weapon: “Indian scientists have just found HIV (AIDS) virus-like insertions in the 2019-nCov virus” — PROOF WUHAN CORONAVIRUS A BIOENGINEERED WEAPON!
Not only that, this investigative journalism platform suspected that the Harvard Chemistry Chair, who was recently arrested for smuggling “biological material”, was really taken out because of the needed assistance he was giving the Chinese medical scientists. He may have had the experience and knowhow to identify the HIV-like gene insertions among making other valuable contributions. See: Was the Harvard Chemistry Chair really arrested because he had the expertise to prove the Wuhan coronavirus was a US-engineered bioweapon?

Fingerplay Fun: Five Little Pumpkins!
Halloween is less than a week away! Here is a slightly scary fingerplay to help get your kiddos in the mood: Five Little Pumpkins
Five Little Pumpkins
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,
The first one said: "Oh, my it's getting late."
The second one said: "There are witches in the air."
The third one said: "But we don't care."
The fourth one said: "Let's run and run and run."
The fifth one said: "Let's have some fun."
Ooooo! Went the wind, and out went the light.
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!
I like this one because you can make it as scary as you want. If you play up your delivery, the "Oooooo!" can be extremely chilling. Or you can sing it and make it fun and friendly. Experiencing emotions is a very important part of early childhood development. Kids need to feel comfortable and loved before they can successfully focus on learning. Please follow your child's cues and be ready to offer comfort if they get a little too scared.
When we allow kids the opportunity to explore emotions in a safe and caring environment, we help them practice coping and self-regulation skills that will be of benefit as they learn to read.
Here is a less supernatural version of Five Little Pumpkins:
The second one said: "The moon is shining bright."
The third one said: "The bats are out tonight."
Oooooo! Went the wind, and out went the light.
And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!

Saturday’s solar storm may cause power shutdown, cellular communication outage

Written by By Chad Taylor, CNN
A major solar storm is on the horizon — the strongest since 2013 — and people on the East Coast are being asked to prepare for possible disruptions to the power grid and cellular phone services.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, has been monitoring a flare — a large amount of X-rays and heat from the sun that its scientists are calling a Carrington Event — off the coast of Mexico and issued an ‘SPACE-X’ eruption watch.
In an email sent to CNN, a NOAA spokesperson said they were preparing for a possible geomagnetic storm on the order of the one in 1989 that disabled power to the Quebec City power grid, blacked out multiple cities in the United States and Canada and caused hundreds of thousands of phone calls to be put on hold.
Ground-based telecommunication providers are recommended to test their emergency backup systems on March 26. The spokesperson said the threat should be kept in mind as people prepare for Halloween.
“A CARRINGTON EVENT is in the upper level of the solar magnetic field and typically occurs once every 17 years. This will be the 48th CARRINGTON Event since they started being recorded in 1965. (The first one occurred in November 1859!),” the email said.
On March 15, a M6 flare — an M6-class outburst — was detected by the Solar Flares and Engines monitoring (SFO) system. A round of storm activity over the next two days may result in “a partial short circuit or blackout of electric power grids in portions of the U.S. East Coast and elsewhere,” NOAA said.
Though the main purpose of the Carrington Event was to warn telegraph operators of approaching weather, scientists said Thursday they don’t expect the same for the upcoming storm.
“Plants or communications will be reduced only when winds exceed 30-40 mph,” NOAA said.
“Wind speed and strength will be even less in cities like New York, Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, and other large, urban areas with heavy municipal streets and wires.”
The last Carrington Event occurred in September 2013, and another similar event occurred in 1859.
There’s always a chance of solar flares like the one seen Friday, said NASA meteorologist Bill Murtagh.
“But it’s not right around the corner,” he said. “The sun has been steadily building up intensity in the past six months and we are approaching a peak in solar activity.”
These eruptions from the sun usually are not “catastrophic” for Earth because they don’t have the shock waves that create the primary geomagnetic storms, but they can disrupt satellite communications and sometime even affect power grids.

Historic Sites of Manitoba: West Treherne School No. 537 (Treherne, Municipality of Norfolk Treherne)
Principals | Vice-Principals | Teachers | Photos & Coordinates | Sources
The West Treherne School District was organized formally in March 1888 and a school building was erected in Treherne, in what is now the Municipality of Norfolk Treherne. In 1891, it was replaced by a two-storey wood structure then, in 1906, by a two-storey, brick building designed by Winnipeg architect Samuel Hooper, near the site of the Treherne Cenotaph. This building was destroyed by fire on 17 June 1958.
The school fire led to renewed consideration of school consolidation, and local electors subsequently approved amalgamation of their district with several from the surrounding countryside: Louise School No. 116, East Treherne School No. 298, Cassandra School No. 445, Centreville School No. 606, Boyne Creek School No. 620, Wilson Glen School No. 713, Arbroath School No. 796, McCreery School No. 797, Pinkerton School No. 1074, and Matchettville School No. 1342. While a new school building was constructed, classes were held at various places around Treherne, including the Masonic Hall, Legion Hall, Fumerton’s Hall, old post office building, and the old movie hall. Later, the building of Cassandra School was moved into town and used as a classroom. The new school opened in September 1962.

California’s Latest Suicide Attempt
Modern liberalism is all about “rights”—rights to health care, right to a job, right to food, the right to more rights, and so forth. You know the drill. Of course, these kind of liberal “rights” aren’t rights at all property understood; they are benefits that require the state to tax or expropriate someone’s property to provide the “right” to someone else.

Greece is dredging up some ugly memories in Europe with a new push for German war reparations from World War II. Two weeks ago, a “top-secret” report from the Greek Finance Ministry was leaked that claimed that Germany still owes Greece €162 billion in reparations. The report made waves, but it wasn’t clear whether the Greek government was serious about pressing ahead with the claims or was planning on burying them in the interest of smoothing over its relations with Germany.

Fault Lines Loom for “Dominant” Dem Majority
So what do a governor’s race in Rhode Island, President Obama’s proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts, a bankruptcy in Stockton, Calif., the fiscal cliff, and the funding mechanism for the Affordable Care Act have in common? This isn’t some quirky setup for a joke only a wonk could love. The common thread here is that they all involve cross-currents in the Democratic Party that pose existential threats to their coalition.
Pink Police State
The Pink Police State is a more extreme version of a regime I use to taunt my libertarian friends in my essay on ‘The Sex Vote’ that’s just been published in Doublethink.

More Than Dependency
In a post last night about Mike Lee’s superb Heritage speech from Monday, I mentioned in passing that I was at least as struck by the fact that Lee did not emphasize the problem of “dependency” as by the crucially important themes he did lay out. A fair number of friendly readers, all of whom were just as impressed by Lee’s remarks, have asked me to say a little more about why dependency might not be the best way to describe conservative objections to the detrimental moral effects of the welfare state.
The Sheep of Watertown
The events following the Boston bombing were instructive as to how far we have fallen as a free society. After having failed at their most basic fiduciary responsibility of keeping the country safe (surely more to come on this in the future), the government aggressively flexed its authority over its subjects, the residents of Watertown, Massachusetts. Juxtaposed with the recent national debate on more stringent gun laws, the future of Americanism is in question.

Generac Grid Services and Pearlstone Energy to Provide Flexible Capacity to the U.K. Grid
Generac Grid Services' Concerto™ platform to enable cost-savings for large facility owners while supporting power grid stability
DENVER, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Generac Grid Services, a subsidiary of Generac Power Systems (NYSE: GNRC), a leading designer and manufacturer of energy technology solutions and other power products, today announced that it has teamed with Pearlstone Energy Limited to provide energy management solutions to commercial and industrial facilities in the United Kingdom. Leveraging Generac Grid Services' Concerto™ software platform, Pearlstone Energy can provide its customers with cost savings, while also relieving strain on the U.K. power grid during periods of peak demand.
This achievement is the first phase of a multi-year joint initiative between the two companies to unlock value from commercial and industrial facilities' flexible capacity. Pearlstone will use Concerto to reduce demand at each customer facility during system peaks, typically during the coldest days of the year or when there is a need for providing equilibrium in the system. The program will enable Pearlstone's customers to participate in National Grid's flexibility initiatives in the U.K., help facilities avoid high network demand charges for power usage during periods of grid strain, and reward participants with potential cost-savings year-round.
"Our customers rely on us to optimize their facility's energy consumption," said Dr. Azad Camyab, founder and chief executive officer of Pearlstone Energy. "By leveraging Generac Grid Services' Concerto platform, we can help reduce facilities' demand when electricity prices are at their highest and assist our customers on their net-zero and carbon footprint-reduction journeys."
One of Pearlstone Energy's commercial customers has already integrated and migrated their systems to the Concerto platform.
"Generac Grid Services is thrilled to have entered the U.K. market with Pearlstone," said Jan Peter Moree, vice president of business development at Generac Grid Services. "Harnessing flexible capacity can provide a sustainable alternative to producing additional high-cost power. This program gives us the opportunity to help improve the stability and sustainability of the U.K. power grid, while delivering value to Pearlstone's customers."
In the coming months, Pearlstone and Generac Grid Services plan to enable additional revenue streams and savings for facility owners as electricity market prices continue to rise in the U.K. Pearlstone will leverage Concerto™ to bid its customers' flexible capacity into National Grid's short term operating reserve (STOR) and Distribution System Operator's (DSO) flexibility markets. Both companies look forward to jointly developing new, innovative solutions for Pearlstone's customer base.

Home About Me Why Adventure?
Why Adventure?
“There are two types of people, he who says he can, and he who says he can’t. Both are usually right” – Confucius
Adventure is my favourite topic, its a buzz word, an idea, and this is why I’m so passionate about it. The dream of an adventure is so possible to pursue, so possible to create from scratch and then make happen. You can go where ever, when ever, choosing your own path, your own team, your own country and your own transport. It’s travelling but better. It’s getting yourself there under your own steam. It’s finding a destination in nature and knowing you earned the right to be blown away.
It’s about awakening your inner explorer and learning you are capable of climbing mountains and crossing seas. It’s knowing there is reward at the end, destination or not you tried, you pushed yourself further than you thought and learnt how strong you can be.
This video is my why statement, it captures my passion and reignites my love for adventure every time I watch it. It speaks to me, it’s my mantra and perfectly captures the reason for the lifestyle….Go Seek.
So I ask you now, why not adventure?
I found myself when I started exploring, and there is nothing more empowering than learning new skills, overcoming challenges, growing my confidence and reaching my full potential at something. Finding and following passion has taken me on the most incredible journey, and it’s a journey with no end in sight. The happiest people I know are adventurers. There is peace, there is challenge, there is reward. There are friends, there’s a community, there’s a common goal. It’s whatever you want it to be. It’s everything I want you to experience as well…

Managing Stormwater in Great Falls
Great Falls Citizens meet with county on stormwater issues.

Great Falls Citizens Association Environment and Parks Committee co-chair Karen Keegan listens to a presentation by county staff on local stormwater management. Later in the meeting, Keegan reported on the outcomes of related legislation that had gone before the Virginia General Assembly.
Fairfax County staff were on hand at the Environment and Parks Committee of the Great Falls Citizens Association’s April meeting at the Great Falls Library.
Committee co-chairs William Denk and Karen Keegan welcomed Bruce McGranahan, Director, Site Development and Inspections Division and Camylyn Lewis, Senior Engineer III, to discuss stormwater ministration.
The officials used a case-study approach to demonstrate how the county reviews and oversees stormwater quality treatment and quantity management.
McGranahan and Lewis presented slides showing the application designs submitted by Verity Commercial and IntegraCare, partners in the project seeking to build a senior assisted living complex on Walker Road, across from Dante’s Italian restaurant.
McGranahan said that using a real-life example was a better way to explain what can be “very complex,” even to an audience filled with well-informed individuals, several of whom have backgrounds related to land use and environmental management. “With all of the regulations, from both the state and the county, it can be hard to satisfy all of the issues.”
Lewis ran the slideshow, pointing out the changes in the developers’ applications to better address stormwater runoff.
AS IT STANDS, the proposed Residences at Colvin Run have suggested an underground water treatment best management practice. The plan includes a two-step filtering process.
“This [rather than dry ponds or other stormwater mitigation systems] allows treatment of more water for quality, and more control over water release – quantity,” Lewis said.
Lewis also noted that the developers were working to limit runoff to 10 percent less than if the site were to remain in its original, forested state. The underground water system also allows for landscaping and space to plant barrier trees between the complex and neighboring residences and commercial properties.
The duo from the county fielded questions a-plenty, particularly over the county’s average rainfall measurement standards for stormwater works, which raised concerns among several committee members. Using a 1 inch of water standard for their calculations, when averages in the last 15 years have risen to 2.8 inches, “seems like we’re working from a false premise,” was one member’s observation.
Lewis and McGranahan acknowledged that there was work to be done. “We are aware [of the discrepancies and need to update data], but we are still working on what to do,” said Lewis. The relevant manuals are being updated by the county, and officials are working on plans to hold individual residences more accountable for water flow, as well.
Any assistance would be welcomed, stated Great Falls Citizens Association president, Bill Canis, who brought up the frequent, hazardous flooding from ponds near major roadways. “Georgetown Pike experiences these conditions in several places,” Canis said. “Whose responsibility is this? Who do we go to?”
After some discussion and more consideration, McGranahan suggested that residents contact the Virginia Department of Transportation to address the roadway flooding.
Keegan was able to give the attendees an update on the recently concluded session of the Virginia General Assembly in regards to the fate of environment-related legislation of particular interest to Great Falls citizens.
“There is some good news to report,” said Keegan. Legislation supported by Del. Kathleen Murphy (D-34) was passed, mandating that property sellers have to put potential buyers on notice about stormwater systems and issues on a site for sale.
“It’s a good start and a win for consumer rights.”
KEAGAN AND COLLEAGUES were disappointed, however, that a bill to give individual localities authority to pass their own regulations on fertilizer usage did not fare as well, getting hung up in committee in the House of Delegates.
“We learned some hard lessons,” acknowledged Keegan, “a lot about the legislative process in Richmond. We have a plan for next year,” she said, which includes building a collaborate coalition of experts and stakeholders to draft their own proposed legislation and then working to shepherd the measure through the political process.
“That’s better than someone who doesn’t know the issues or the local impact just throwing it out there.”
There were updates given on the Turner Farm curator’s property – “There are horses in the paddock once again there!” – and some discussion about the prospects of the Dranesville Tavern historic property on Route 7 as it has moved up a bit in the curator program queue.
The planned discussion on the environmental perspective on noise from Dulles Airport and county consideration of development in the “noise zone” was postponed, but before the meeting concluded, residents were reminded about the May 18 Town Hall meeting on wildlife management in the area, and another Town Hall planned for June 11, with state Sen. Barbara Favola (D-31) and Del. Murphy.

Liverpool to host Lennon candle lit vigil on December 8th 2010
Beatles fans from all over the UK will be make their way to Liverpool on 8th December to mark the 30th anniversary of John Lennon’s death with a candlelit vigil set to take place at the city’s European Peace Monument, dedicated to John. They will be led in song on the occasion by local singers and musicians.
WHERE – EUROPEAN PEACE MONUMENT, CHAVASSE PARK, LIVERPOOL, UK
WHEN – WEDNESDAY 8TH DECEMBER, 8PM – 9.30PM GMT
Since its unveiling by Julian & Cynthia Lennon on Lennon’s birth date (October 9th), the monument - entitled ‘Peace & Harmony’ - has become a popular focal point for visitors to the Beatles home city looking to celebrate Lennon’s life and message of peace through his music.
The monument represents Liverpool's ever physical focal point for fans of Lennon and The Beatles to congregate and remember the artistic and creative legacy of the world icon.
The vigil of remembrance will form a counterpoint to the ‘Lennon Remembered – The 9 Faces of John’ concert taking place at Liverpool’s Echo Arena the following day (Thursday 9th December). All profits from the concert are being donated to regional charities Alder Hey Imagine Appeal, Radio City’s Cash For Kids and the Mathew Street Festival. The evening event will close the enormously successful John Lennon Season that is taking place right across the city.
Created by American artist Lauren Voiers, the striking ‘Peace & Harmony’ monument features a white feather at its apex; a detail created to the express wishes of Lennon’s son Julian. As Julian comments, “One of the things my father said to me was that should he pass away, if there was some way of letting me know he was going to be ok, it was by, in some shape or form, presenting me with a white feather.”
Jerry Goldman, MD of The Beatles Story comments:
“Although the European Peace Monument has only been on public display for just over a month it’s already taken on a global significance of its own. People from all over the world are coming to the city to pay their respects and consider Lennon’s message of peace through his music.
“The city is very excited that we finally have a focal point at which to remember Lennon and look forward to a vigil that will reach out to people the world over.”
The vigil at the Lennon Peace Monument will take place at 8pm on Wednesday 8th December on Chavasse Park, Liverpool ONE, Liverpool L1 8LT, overlooking both The River Mersey and The Albert Dock.

What are the best live albums by Talking Heads?
Their two officially approved albums, The Name Of The Band Is Talking Heads and Stop Making Sense receive plenty of praise but are there any of the unofficial albums that can compare or be even better?

Talking Heads The Boarding House San Francisco 1978 (TAJ)
The Boarding House, San Francisco is a live recording of a concert by Talking Heads which was originally broadcast on the radio.
It was recorded on 16th September 1978.
From what I’ve seen so far, it is an mp3 only release and not available in the United States.

Talking Heads Performance 1979
Performance is a live recording by Talking Heads made for broadcast on the radio and turned into a live album released by the Applebush label.
It was recorded at The Berklee School of Music in Boston on 24th August 1979 while the band were promoting the Fear Of Music studio album.
I’ve also seen what I think is this recording offered for sale on the Sonic Boom as Boston Tea Party with two extra songs at the end from Saturday Night Live. These songs are repeats of Take Me To The River and Artists Only.
I think this is one of those live recordings that slips through the copyright laws after 35 years and can be sold legally in Europe. Please correct me if you know the truth.
The two official live albums, The Name Of The Band Is Talking Heads and Stop Making Sense are two of the greatest live albums ever released. It is interesting to hear other material when Talking Heads were such an innovative new wave band in the late 1970s.

Talking Heads Real Live Wires 1978
Real Live Wires is a live album by Talking Heads released on the Smokin’ label.
It was recorded at The Park West, in Chicago, in 1978 while the group were promoting their second album, More Songs About Buildings and Food for a radio broadcast.
There is another version of this recording on the Nova Sales & Distribution (UK) Ltd label called Live Chicago 1978 but feedback from Amazon is that the recording quality is not as good as Real Live Wires.

Talking Heads The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads 1977 to 1981
The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads is a live compilation album from Talking Heads spanning the years from 1977 to 1981.
This represents the time when Talking Heads were at their most innovative, coming out of the punk movement at the CBGBs club but sounding nothing like punk. In my classification system I’m treating talking Heads as both a new wave band and an art rock band.
This album represents Talking Heads at their brilliant, quirky best and in my opinion is even more exciting than Stop Making Sense.
If you’re wondering about the title, the group were often incorrectly called The Talking Heads. David Byrne would often introduce songs with the phrase “The name of this song …”
The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads
My Rating – 29 out of 30 – an outstanding live album

Talking Heads Stop Making Sense 1983
Stop Making Sense is a live album recorded by Talking Heads on the tour to promote the studio album Speaking In Tongues in 1983.
It is also the soundtrack for the concert film of the same name.
This live album is very highly regarded by critics but I have to admit to being puzzled because I don’t believe it is a match for The Name Of The Band Is Talking Heads, a live album from earlier in their career.
My Rating – 26 out of 30 – highly recommended but the DVD is even better

Unexpected item in the fast lane area
I’m very cynical about driverless cars. To an extent I think they’re a solution to the wrong question: now that humans are largely a city-dwelling species (and one facing devastating climate change), the smart thing to do would be to make public transport better and more efficient. For example, I live in Glasgow: our buses pollute, and our subway system is tiny and shuts down completely every Sunday evening at 6pm.
Expanding the Subway, as in this proposal, would transform public transport in my city and make thousands, maybe millions, of car journeys unnecessary. Unfortunately doing so would also cost £5 billion, at a time when some of our city’s treasures are under threat because of maintenance costs. I’m not optimistic.
There are other ways to improve cities. Electric bikes take up considerably less room than cars do and require considerably fewer resources to make and to power: because they don’t have to hurl one and a half tons of metal around, they use a fraction of the energy electric cars do. You don’t need enormous parking spaces, or wide streets, or any of the other things we need to cater for enormous vehicles that typically contain just one person.
But underground trains and bikes aren’t sexy, and driverless cars are.
My concern isn’t just the environmental impact. It’s the tech. We can’t get wireless printers to work. We think the tech industry can make driverless cars safe?
This Twitter thread by Michael T Spooky (everybody on Twitter changes their name for October; I’m currently Carrie, Like In The Film Carrie) articulates it very well by comparing self-driving cars to the self-checkouts you find in shops.
I agree with him on this bit:
…making an automated system that’s 95% as good as a human is relatively easy and one that’s 100% as good as a human is very hard. I think it’s becoming clear that autonomous vehicles are going to turn out like this
Self-checkouts aren’t fully automated. They’re semi-automated. The tech isn’t good enough to ensure that, say, eight people can checkout simultaneously without any of the tills going in a strop. I used one yesterday that in best Trump style refused to accept the existence of biscuits.
So what happens instead is you get things mostly automated, with a human overseer. That’s fine for checkouts. It’s not so good for cars.
A driverless system that needs human supervision isn’t driverless.
Tech is invaluable in cars. From ABS to airbags, traction control to parking sensors, it makes cars safer. But I think it’s best suited to driver assistance, not driver replacement. Driverless vehicles work fine on rails – the aforementioned Subway is getting driverless trains in 2020 – or in the air (fans of driverless cars like to talk about the success of autopilot, which is of course a great technology. However, show me the autopilot that can handle Glasgow’s West End during the school run). But on the roads the challenge is almost infinitely complex and the stakes are incredibly high.
As Mr Spooky concludes:
…when you hear the “World of Tomorrow†tales about driverless cabs whisking us on couches everywhere at 120mph, please also realize that the UNKNOWN ITEM IN BAGGING AREA dystopia is a just-as-likely path.

WriMo Writers CONFESS!: When Winning Looks Like Quitting
by admin | Nov 23, 2014 | Miscellaneous Thoughts, On Writing | 0 comments
WriMo Writer’s Confess is a collaborative blog project dedicated to venting, discussing, and all manner of respectful complaining about the challenges introduced by writing a novel in a MONTH.
For those unfamiliar with NaNoWriMo, here’s the rundown:
National Novel Writing Month organizes events where children and adults find the inspiration, encouragement, and structure they need to achieve their creative potential. Our programs are web-enabled challenges with vibrant real-world components, designed to foster self-expression while building community on local and global levels.
In other words, you write 50,000 words in a month, and if you finish the novel, HURRAY, you’ve won! This is roughly 1,600 words per day, which seems easy enough, right?
Depends. This WriMo Writers Confess Series is here to highlight those frustrating aspects of writing anywhere from zero to thousands of words in a day, for thirty days.
Some might say I quit NaNoWriMo.
But me? I would say I quietly and unceremoniously looked away from my NaNo project and diverted my attention elsewhere.
This is the ‘thing’ about NaNo. There are no technical losers, because the simple act of participation gets at the heart of what it’s about — writing consistently. We’ve heard enough writers harp on this aspect.
But even still, I felt both guilty and like I’d somehow failed. Not necessarily about my writing project — which I’ve definitely shelved, without any feelings of guilt — but about the writing practice part. Writing consistently, daily, no matter what.
Everybody has their own reasons for abandoning a NaNo project, and I don’t discredit anybody for needing to yield to real life. I had to do the same this year. Between moving houses across a foreign country and taking on extra freelance work in order to pay the bills, writing unfortunately took a back seat.
And I felt bad for it. Because the whole point of the NaNo project, for me, wasn’t even about finishing this weird, sci-fi, out-of-my-comfort-zone story, OR getting it published. Rather, it was about the daily word count, about showing up to the mat in order to get WRITING DONE.
I didn’t pull through.
But along the way of my quiet looking away, my “I haven’t quit yet I just haven’t written on it in over a week and have no plans to continue”, something else happened.
I got sideswiped with inspiration for a fledgling work in progress that I had told myself would wait until post-NaNo. Another romance novel — this time in the uncharted territory of New Adult — clamored for attention in my headspace. Work on me, it screamed, chucking plot twists and character details at me like bricks to the head.
So I did. I had to. Suddenly, everything was so clear with the new project. This New Adult romance novel, which had come to me in a dream over the summer, was now READY to be worked on. I had protagonist backgrounds, I had thematic elements, I had a healthy cast of witty and just-starting-their-careers characters with all sorts of bumbling, new adult sort of things to tend to!
And my oh my, have the words been flowing!
It’s still November, so I feel like this counts as NaNo’ing. But my original NaNo project has been quietly yet safely relegated to the background of my hard drive. I might pick up the original NaNo project sometime down the road; hell, I might even finish it before November’s over. Okay, I doubt it, but like I said, I haven’t ‘quit’ officially, so there’s still a chance I could work on it.
More important than the final word count of the original NaNo project is the following: I plugged away at it for a solid two weeks before unceremoniously looking away. I charged through moments of confusion, of plotlessness; I wrote and wrote and wrote when all I wanted to do was stop because I had no idea what the heck was going on (and maybe I still don’t).
And that, right there, is part of the whole idea. Pushing yourself into those uncomfortable writing zones. Learning how to deal with the moments when you need to WRITE but you don’t have the INSPIRATION.
Learning to write professionally — like the habitual, serious writer I want to be.
So it wasn’t all for naught. I pushed myself into uncomfortable writing spaces and did my best to demolish writer’s block. I added over 13,000 words to a novel I originally told myself wouldn’t even happen. I broached a new genre, I captivated myself with a tale that had originally seemed like — and really, actually was — only a flitting dream.
As many writers have said before, part of the NaNoWriMo journey is developing the habit of writing DAILY. I might have let that temporarily slip due to real life, but I haven’t let the larger goal disappear.
And that goal is, WRITE novels that I love, novels that speak to me and that beg to be written.
So for the final week of November, I am continuing NaNoWriMo on a project that I didn’t start with, but one that calls to me louder than anything else right now.
4,000 words for yesterday alone is saying something right?
Anybody else out there have trouble sticking the daily writing practice? Did you start (and then abandon) a NaNo project? Or have you already won NaNoWriMo this year? What do you do when the scream of a new project begins to deafen you? Tell me all about it below!
