Four corrupt politically motivated prosecutors.

They say they’re upholding the law, but a close examination reveals politics of the very worst kind, meant to influence the 2024 election.

[Blog Editor: What got my attention relating to the Redacted video was the title about politically persecuting Trump with a jail sentence. HOWEVER, the first roughly 22-Minutes is actually very relevant info questioning the motives of the WHO declaring Monkeypox (now politically correct to say Mpox). Then a brief pay-the-bills ad. THEN, the plan to jail Trump before election day report. Then at about 36-Minute mark, Redacted moves to other news reporting.]

WE THE PEOPLE are Not Unnecessary People

Question the Science Rather Than Trust the Science, Especially Related to Anything mRNA!

 John R. Houk, Blog Editor

© April 7, 2023

 

mRNA-Jab called vaccines by the lying U.S. Government, ARE NOT safe and effective. IN FACT the mRNA Jab has the worst adverse events in the shortest amount of time than any vaccine since the government (loosely because reporting is voluntary not mandatory) began tracking ADVERSE EVENTS.

 

Case in point is this VAERS Chart updated through 3/24/23 (SOURCE: VAERS Analysis):

 

CHART Webcapture

 

ERGO, “Safe and Effective” is a lie, I don’t care if it’s brought to by Pfizer, Moderna, or whichever pharmaceutical operations trying to tap into Big Pharma Billions of Dollars (or whichever currency tangible or crypto ends ruling the day) of profit (NOT HEALTH!).

 

Since mRNA is evil, at best for profit and/or at worst for a depopulation agenda of considered unnecessary humans (according to Globalist Elites), ask this question: WHY IN THE WORLD would we considered unnecessary humans tolerate a food supply system permeated to the max with mRNA technology?

 

It is time to reject the Elitist “Unnecessary Human” label and become WE THE PEOPLE! As a unified vocal bloc WE THE PEOPLE outnumber these self-centered Globalist Elitists (of which only a fraction are a billionaire class that deceive a Sheeple following) who desire to fine-tune an existence into a technocratic delusion.

 

This is where Science Fiction become a tyrannical reality. The Globalists are trying transform society into an Artificial Intelligence (AI) managed society. The “delusion” is human governance (idiot Leftist Globalist Elites) survives AI evolution toward sentience (SEE HERE & HERE). 

 

IF You think AI & Controlling Humanity is Pure Science Fiction, LOOK at the Science Research:

 

o   Not bot, not beast: Scientists create first ever living, programmable organism; By Simon Coghlan and Kobi Leins; PHYS.ORG [ORIGINALLY The Conversation]; 1/20/20

 

o   *Admittedly speculative article full of criticized info BUT info very publicly accessible – SO YOU DECIDE * >> And the Wind Cries Jeffrey: Biohacking Humans with DNA, Nanotechnology, IoT and 5G; Posted by Editor – By Domagoj Nikolić; Diplomat Magazine; 6/7/20

 

o   Artificial Intelligence And The Future Of Humans; By Nikolai Vassev - Former Forbes Councils Member - Forbes Technology Council; Forbes; 5/6/21 08:30am EDT

 

o   The Use of Nanobot Technology (NT) & Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a Vaccine Carrier and Adjuvant; By Robert O Young DSc, PhD, Naturopathic Practitioner; Dr. Robert O. Young; 8/1/21

 

You can thus probably figure out I don’t trust the government AND I definitely do NOT trust any science the government pushes on WE THE PEOPLE. AND on that list of zero trust is any science connected to Big Pharma or science espoused or promoted by Globalist Elitists. NONE OF THAT SCIENCE has mine or YOUR (the actual masses of WE THE PEOPLE considered expendable when the Elitists are not benefitted) interests at heart.

 

With a lack of trust in mind, YOU should wonder and question what the motivation is behind already proven UNSAFE & INEFFECTIVE mRNA technology being pushed into the food supply of WE THE PEOPLE.

 

Below is some addressed science from the few I do trust on food supply affected mRNA.

Chinese Load Cow's Milk with mRNA Exosomes--Successfully Immunize Mice

COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Assault Possible Through Food Supply

 

By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH™

April 7, 2023

Courageous Discourse (Substack)

 

The nation’s food supply can be manipulated by public health agencies to influence population outcomes. A great is example is fortification of cereal grains with folic acid — the synthetic form of folate — which successfully reduced the incidence of neural tube defects (e.g. spina bifida). Now an oral route of administration is being considered specifically for COVID-19 vaccination using mRNA in cow’s milk.

 

Zhang and colleagues have demonstrated that a shortened mRNA code of 675 base pairs could be loaded into phospholipid packets called exosomes derived from milk and then using that same milk, be fed to mice. The mice gastrointestinal tract absorbed the exosomes and the mRNA must have made it into the blood stream and lymphatic tissue because antibodies were produced in fed mice against SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein (receptor binding domain).

 

Oral Vax mRNA Bovine Milk Derived

 

An oral vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 RBD mRNA-bovine milk-derived exosomes induces a neutralizing antibody response in vivo. Quan Zhang, Miao Wang, Chunle Han, Zhijun Wen, Xiaozhu Meng, Dongli Qi, Na Wang, Huanqing Du, Jianhong Wang, Lu Lu, Xiaohu Ge bioRxiv 2022.12.19.517879; doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.12.19.517879

 

From a scientific perspective, these experimental steps taken by the Chinese were a stunning success. However, given the damage mRNA vaccines have generated in terms of injuries, disabilities, and deaths, these data raise considerable ethical issues. The COVID States project has shown that 25% of Americans were successful in remaining unvaccinated. This group would have strong objections to mRNA in the food supply, particularly if it was done surreptitiously or with minimal labelling/warnings. Children could be targeted with easily administered oral vaccine dosing or potentially get mRNA through milk at school lunches and other unsupervised meals.

 

For those who have taken one of the COVID-19 vaccines, having milk vaccines as an EUA offering would allow even more loading of the body with synthetic mRNA which has been proven resistant to ribonucleases and may reside permanently in the human body.

 

These observations lead me to conclude that mRNA technology has just entered a whole new, much darker phase of development. Expect more research on and resistance to mRNA in our food supply. The Chinese have just taken the first of what will probably be many more dangerous steps for the world.

Tom Renz, a patriotic American freedom fighting lawyer has been sounding the alarm on the awareness of Missouri House Bill 1169. A Bill that merely requires the labeling of products that can alter your genetics, requires companies to share info on transmissibility of gene altering interventions, and also requires fully informed consent to be given for any vaccine, gene therapy, or medical intervention. A crucial bill template that should have been passed years ago in every U.S. State.

 

Yet, the RINOs in Missouri, lead [sic] by the Democrats and Republican House Speaker Dean Plocher are slow-walking Missouri House Bill 1169 through committee to prevent it from being approved this session. Missouri lawmakers are claiming the labeling requirements would be different from other states and they are "worried" it might scare people to know the truth .

 

As Renz points out, "...the answer is the lobbyists. Big Pharma has no legitimate basis for publicly arguing against an informed consent/disclosure bill so they have tried to get the ag lobby to do their dirty work. This is also because the ag bioengineers and big pharma are one and the same. Bayer (big pharma) owns Monsanto which is one of the largest (possibly still the largest) seed producers in the world. Bayer also just happens to be headquartered in Saint Louis, Missouri. Big pharma DOES NOT WANT people to know they are going to use food to alter their genetics."

 

To the silent majority, it has never been clearer that the New World Order is blitzkrieging and Kamikaziing from every direction. While Obama's legalized propaganda machine keeps the neural pathways of the willing minority gaslit and sedated. Maintaining the psyop that silent weapons of mass disruption and extinction aren't waging a quiet war on an unsuspecting humanity.

Terminate Uniparty Big Government

John R. Houk, Blog Editor

© September 18, 2022

 

The Off-Guardian Saturday (9/17) picked up a John & Nisha Whitehead post on The Rutherford Institute originally dated September 14. The Rutherford post has a bit more expanded and direct than Off-Guardian which reads, “Overthrow the Government: All the Ways in Which Our Rights Have Been Usurped.” The Off-Guardian remove d “Overthrow the Government.”

 

And to be fair to Off-Guardian, Whitehead does not offer a clarion call to overthrow the Dem-Marxist tyranny in the U.S. Government but concludes with the power to change is in the hands of WE THE PEOPLE without offering advice on how WE THE PEOPLE can effect change.

 

That which Whitehead does very effectively is itemize just how a Big Centralized Government has eradicated the Original Intent of the U.S. Constitution, especially the first Ten Amendments known as The Bill of Rights.

 

One thing I’d like to mention that Whitehead does not is Political Parties did not exist at the beginning of the Constitution. However, the process of National (well… 13 newly independent sovereign states) debate to accept or reject the U.S. Constitution quickly developed two political factions: The Federalist faction promoting constitutional ratification and the Anti-Federalist faction rejecting ratification in favor of preserving a Confederation of loosely aligned independent states.

 

As the Constitution was ratified, the Federalist faction became a really not at all well-organized Federalist Party while the Anti-Federalists began to emerge into today’s Democratic Party. Thomas Jefferson (3^rd President) led the early Democratic-Republicans. George Washington and John Adams became attached to the Federalists but my sense is no political party authority was ever enforced among Federalists.

 

Today’s two dominant Political Parties (Democrats and Republicans) are both culprits in eradicating the Original Intent of the U.S. Constitution so that Big Government rules beyond the authority provided by the Constitution. If WE THE PEOPLE continue to support the status quo of a uniparty Two Party System we deserve the tyranny WE THE PEOPLE experience.

 

John and Nisha Whitehead how the uniparty Big Government has decimated the Bill of Rights. I like Rutherford’s title better, but I like Off-Guardian’s article organization better. Ergo I am cross posting the latter.

10 Ways in Which Our Rights Have Been Usurped

 

5th Amendment

  

WE THE PEOPLE

 

By John and Nisha Whitehead

September 17, 2022

Off-Guardian

 

We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” -- Abraham Lincoln

 

It’s easy to become discouraged about the state of our nation.

 

We’re drowning under the weight of too much debt, too many wars, too much power in the hands of a centralized government, too many militarized police, too many laws, too many lobbyists, and generally too much bad news.

 

It’s harder to believe that change is possible, that the system can be reformed, that politicians can be principled, that courts can be just, that good can overcome evil, and that freedom will prevail.

 

So where does that leave us?

 

Benjamin Franklin provided the answer. As the delegates to the Constitutional Convention trudged out of Independence Hall on September 17, 1787, an anxious woman in the crowd waiting at the entrance inquired of Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” “A republic,” Franklin replied, “if you can keep it.”

 

What Franklin meant, of course, is that when all is said and done, we get the government we deserve.

 

Those who gave us the Constitution and the Bill of Rights believed that the government exists at the behest of its citizens. It is there to protect, defend and even enhance our freedoms, not violate them.

 

Unfortunately, although the Bill of Rights was adopted as a means of protecting the people against government tyranny, in America today, the government does whatever it wants, freedom be damned.

 

“We the people” have been terrorized, traumatized, and tricked into a semi-permanent state of compliance by a government that cares nothing for our lives or our liberties.

 

The bogeyman’s names and faces have changed over time (terrorism, the war on drugs, illegal immigration, a viral pandemic, and more to come), but the end result remains the same: in the so-called name of national security, the Constitution has been steadily chipped away at, undermined, eroded, whittled down, and generally discarded with the support of Congress, the White House, and the courts.

 

A recitation of the Bill of Rights—set against a backdrop of government surveillance, militarized police, SWAT team raids, asset forfeiture, eminent domain, overcriminalization, armed surveillance drones, whole body scanners, stop and frisk searches, vaccine mandates, lockdowns, and the like (all sanctioned by Congress, the White House, and the courts)—would understandably sound more like a eulogy to freedoms lost than an affirmation of rights we truly possess.

 

What we are left with today is but a shadow of the robust document adopted more than two centuries ago. Sadly, most of the damage has been inflicted upon the Bill of Rights.

 

Here is what it means to live under the Constitution, twenty-plus years after 9/11 and with the nation just emerging from two years of COVID-19 lockdowns and mandates.

 

The First Amendment is supposed to protect the freedom to speak your mind, assemble and protest nonviolently without being bridled by the government. It also protects the freedom of the media, as well as the right to worship and pray without interference. In other words, Americans should not be silenced by the government. To the founders, all of America was a free speech zone.

 

Despite the clear protections found in the First Amendment, the freedoms described therein are under constant assault. Increasingly, Americans are being persecuted for exercising their First Amendment rights and speaking out against government corruption.

 

Activists are being arrested and charged for daring to film police officers engaged in harassment or abusive practices. Journalists are being prosecuted for reporting on whistleblowers.

 

States are passing legislation to muzzle reporting on cruel and abusive corporate practices. Religious ministries are being fined for attempting to feed and house the homeless. Protesters are being tear-gassed, beaten, arrested and forced into “free speech zones.”

 

And under the guise of “government speech,” the courts have reasoned that the government can discriminate freely against any First Amendment activity that takes place within a so-called government forum.

 

The Second Amendment was intended to guarantee “the right of the people to keep and bear arms.” Essentially, this amendment was intended to give the citizenry the means to resist tyrannical government. Yet while gun ownership has been recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court as an individual citizen right, Americans remain powerless to defend themselves against red flag gun laws, militarized police, SWAT team raids, and government agencies armed to the teeth with military weapons better suited to the battlefield.

 

The Third Amendment reinforces the principle that civilian-elected officials are superior to the military by prohibiting the military from entering any citizen’s home without “the consent of the owner.” With the police increasingly training like the military, acting like the military, and posing as military forces—complete with heavily armed SWAT teams, military weapons, assault vehicles, etc.—it is clear that we now have what the founders feared most—a standing army on American soil.

 

The Fourth Amendment prohibits government agents from conducting surveillance on you or touching you or encroaching on your private property unless they have evidence that you’re up to something criminal. In other words, the Fourth Amendment ensures privacy and bodily integrity.

 

Unfortunately, the Fourth Amendment has suffered the greatest damage in recent years and has been all but eviscerated by an unwarranted expansion of governmental police powers that include strip searches and even anal and vaginal searches of citizens, surveillance (corporate and otherwise), and intrusions justified in the name of fighting terrorism, as well as the outsourcing of otherwise illegal activities to private contractors.

 

The Fifth Amendment and the Sixth Amendment work in tandem. These amendments supposedly ensure that you are innocent until proven guilty, and government authorities cannot deprive you of your life, your liberty or your property without the right to an attorney and a fair trial before a civilian judge.

 

However, in the new suspect society in which we live, where surveillance is the norm, these fundamental principles have been upended. Certainly, if the government can arbitrarily freeze, seize or lay claim to your property (money, land or possessions) under government asset forfeiture schemes, you have no true rights.

 

The Seventh Amendment guarantees citizens the right to a jury trial. Yet when the populace has no idea of what’s in the Constitution—civic education has virtually disappeared from most school curriculums—that inevitably translates to an ignorant jury incapable of distinguishing justice and the law from their own preconceived notions and fears.

 

However, as a growing number of citizens are coming to realize, the power of the jury to nullify the government’s actions—and thereby help balance the scales of justice—is not to be underestimated. Jury nullification reminds the government that “we the people” retain the power to ultimately determine what laws are just.

 

The Eighth Amendment is similar to the Sixth in that it is supposed to protect the rights of the accused and forbid the use of cruel and unusual punishment. However, the Supreme Court’s determination that what constitutes “cruel and unusual” should be dependent on the “evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society” leaves us with little protection in the face of a society lacking in morals altogether.

 

The Ninth Amendment provides that other rights not enumerated in the Constitution are nonetheless retained by the people. Popular sovereignty—the belief that the power to govern flows upward from the people rather than downward from the rulers—is clearly evident in this amendment.

 

However, it has since been turned on its head by a centralized federal government that sees itself as supreme and which continues to pass more and more laws that restrict our freedoms under the pretext that it has an “important government interest” in doing so.

 

As for the Tenth Amendment’s reminder that the people and the states retain every authority that is not otherwise mentioned in the Constitution, that assurance of a system of government in which power is divided among local, state and national entities has long since been rendered moot by the centralized Washington, DC, power elite—the president, Congress and the courts.

 

Thus, if there is any sense to be made from this recitation of freedoms lost, it is simply this: our individual freedoms have been eviscerated so that the government’s powers could be expanded.

 

It was no idle happenstance that the Constitution opens with these three powerful words: “We the people.” As the Preamble proclaims:

 

We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this CONSTITUTION for the United States of America.

 

In other words, it’s our job to make the government play by the rules of the Constitution.

 

We are supposed to be the masters and they—the government and its agents—are the servants.

 

We the American people—the citizenry—are supposed to be the arbiters and ultimate guardians of America’s welfare, defense, liberty, laws and prosperity.

 

Still, it’s hard to be a good citizen if you don’t know anything about your rights or how the government is supposed to operate.

As the National Review rightly asks, “How can Americans possibly make intelligent and informed political choices if they don’t understand the fundamental structure of their government? American citizens have the right to self-government, but it seems that we increasingly lack the capacity for it.”

 

Americans are constitutionally illiterate.

 

Most citizens have little, if any, knowledge about their basic rights. And our educational system does a poor job of teaching the basic freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. For instance, a survey by the Annenberg Public Policy Center found that a little more than one-third of respondents (36 percent) could name all three branches of the U.S. government, while another one-third (35 percent) could not name a single one.

 

A survey by the McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum found that only one out of a thousand adults could identify the five rights protected by the First Amendment. On the other hand, more than half (52%) of the respondents could name at least two of the characters in the animated Simpsons television family, and 20% could name all five. And although half could name none of the freedoms in the First Amendment, a majority (54%) could name at least one of the three judges on the TV program American Idol, 41% could name two and one-fourth could name all three.

 

It gets worse.

 

Many who responded to the survey had a strange conception of what was in the First Amendment. For example, a startling number of respondents believed that the “right to own a pet” and the “right to drive a car” were part of the First Amendment. Another 38% believed that “taking the Fifth” was part of the First Amendment.

 

Teachers and school administrators do not fare much better. A study conducted by the Center for Survey Research and Analysis found that one educator in five was unable to name any of the freedoms in the First Amendment.

 

Government leaders and politicians are also ill-informed. Although they take an oath to uphold, support and defend the Constitution against “enemies foreign and domestic,” their lack of education about our fundamental rights often causes them to be enemies of the Bill of Rights.

 

So what’s the solution?

 

Thomas Jefferson recognized that a citizenry educated on “their rights, interests, and duties”  is the only real assurance that freedom will survive.

 

As Jefferson wrote in 1820:

 

“I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of our society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.”

 

From the President on down, anyone taking public office should have a working knowledge of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and should be held accountable for upholding their precepts. One way to ensure this would be to require government leaders to take a course on the Constitution and pass a thorough examination thereof before being allowed to take office.

 

Some critics are advocating that students pass the United States citizenship exam in order to graduate from high school. Others recommend that it must be a prerequisite for attending college. I’d go so far as to argue that students should have to pass the citizenship exam before graduating from grade school.

 

Here’s an idea to get educated and take a stand for freedom: anyone who signs up to become a member of The Rutherford Institute gets a wallet-sized Bill of Rights card and a Know Your Rights card. Use this card to teach your children the freedoms found in the Bill of Rights.

 

A healthy, representative government is hard work. It takes a citizenry that is informed about the issues, educated about how the government operates, and willing to do more than grouse and complain.

 

As I point out in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, “we the people” have the power to make and break the government.

 

The powers-that-be want us to remain divided over politics, hostile to those with whom we disagree politically, and intolerant of anyone or anything whose solutions to what ails this country differ from our own. They also want us to believe that our job as citizens begins and ends on Election Day.

 

Yet there are 330 million of us in this country. Imagine what we could accomplish if we actually worked together, presented a united front, and spoke with one voice.

 

Tyranny wouldn’t stand a chance.
