Are you a conservative, a libertarian, a Christian or a gun owner?  Are you opposed to abortion, globalism, Communism, illegal immigration, the United Nations or the New World Order?  Do you believe in conspiracy theories, do you believe that we are living in the “end times”?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, you are a “potential terrorist” according to official U.S. government documents.

At one time, the term “terrorist” was used very narrowly. The official definition of terrorism is “The use, or threat, of force with the intention of achieving a political goal.” That makes it pretty clear what sort of people are covered, and for decades it worked well.  The government applied the label “terrorist” to people like Osama bin Laden and other Islamic jihadists.  But the Obama administration removed all references to Islam from terror training materials, and instead the term “terrorist” was applied to large groups of American citizens.

And if you are a “terrorist”, that means that you have no rights and the government can treat you just like it treats the terrorists that were being held at Guantanamo Bay.  So if you belong to a group of people that is now being referred to as “potential terrorists”, please don’t take it as a joke.  The first step to persecuting any group of people is to demonize them.  And right now large groups of peaceful, law-abiding citizens are being ruthlessly demonized.

Below is a list of 72 types of Americans that are considered to be “extremists” and “potential terrorists” in official U.S. government documents.  To see the original source document for each point, just click on the link.  As you can see, this list covers most of the country…

The groups of people in the list above are considered “problems” that need to be dealt with.  In some of the documents referenced above, members of the military are specifically warned not to have anything to do with such groups.

We are moving into a very dangerous time in American history.  You can now be considered a “potential terrorist” just because of your religious or political beliefs.  Free speech is becoming a thing of the past, and we are rapidly becoming an Orwellian society that is the exact opposite of what our founding fathers intended.

Ever wonder how you will live if the SHTF? Ever try to answer all the questions that you ask yourself about how you will survive as a single, senior woman living alone with no family, no spouse, no other support other than yourself? I ask myself everyday as I grow older and a little weaker in body and strength. I used to be able to lift fifty pounds of feed or move a bale of hay easily but now it gets to be a real trial. But, since I am alone, I have to do it anyway I can and I usually do. It is the same in prepping for just myself, my livestock, and the homestead.

I live on seven and a half acres in a rural southern California area which is like a mountain/high desert mix when it comes to weather and vegetation. My well is a good one and does the job of watering the livestock which consists of chickens, turkeys, goats, sheep, a llama, horses and assorted dogs and cats. So, I have a good start on being self-sufficient. I decided to not bug out but to bug in if SHTF ever happens. So, I have devoted my time and meager income to this place.

When you are older and alone there are a lot of things that go thru your mind when the subject of prepping comes up. A lot of the questions such as what happens if I can’t get to town, how will I get my medications, what happens if the grid goes down, how do I function as an older woman alone in a non-functioning world, etc., etc., etc. Yes, there are hundreds of questions and sometimes the answers are easy and sometimes they elude us. Being older and alone does pose many unique problems for the one facing this uncertain world. When faced with these problems, I decided to sit down and access my situation and made a lot of decisions and lists. The first one was to bug out or not. Being that I have some disabilities such as arthritis and a bad back, there is no way I could walk out of here or ride my horse great distances to get to…Where? I don’t have a bug out place and if I did I would never make it there alive. I found that most of what I needed to survive was right here in my home.

I used to be able to lift fifty pounds of feed or move a bale of hay easily but now it gets to be a real trial. But, since I am alone, I have to do it anyway I can and I usually do.

So, I took inventory and started my first list of what I had in the way of survival gear, food, water, clothing, medications, tools, and a second list of what I needed to get. If I did bug out, I could not begin to carry what I would need to travel to an unknown destination. I would be a moving target for those who would like to take what I had. And, what would happen to all my animals? I have a pretty good start on being self-sufficient here with chickens and turkeys for meat and eggs, dairy goats for milk, butter, cheese and, a horse for transportation, a llama for packing, sheep for meat, wool and milk and in the spring I will be starting to raise rabbits, one or two cows for meat and milk and guineas for an alarm system. I have all I need here. Why leave it? I am comfortable here and feel a modicum of safety and I know some of the people and the area. That is a big thing to consider in deciding whether to stay or go and how you will get there. It is not very safe for older women to go out alone now so just think of how it will be if things get rough?

I made a third list of things I needed in the way of tools for survival, building supplies and weapons for protection. I bought a few power tools and two small gas-powered generators to run them and a little chest freezer. I bought that so I can freeze meats, cheese and butter and make gallon sized ice cubes to use in the antique ice box that was used by the previous owner for a liquor cabinet. I have tried it out and it works like a dream. I have also made a list of things I want to learn to do and can now scratch off such as learning how to can with a pressure canner, use a chainsaw for cutting firewood, and I turned my front porch into a greenhouse so I will have tomatoes and lettuce in the winter. I had to learn how to butcher the chickens and will have to learn how to do the cute fuzzy rabbits. But, if it means I will eat then so be it. We all have to do things that are distasteful but will do them to survive. I do believe that the older generation is better at getting it done than the younger and we don’t need a cell phone for that.

As for protection? I believe that in the future people will revert to old-time weapons for protection such as bows and arrows and spears and such. If the grid goes down there are only going to be so many bullets and no one to keep production up and not everyone is adept at reloading. So, my weapons of choice is the long bow, a cross-bow, and several pistol bows. I practiced a lot to become proficient in archery and can hit what I aim at. Even being 65 I can pull 40 lbs. And, it is a silent weapon. Pretty good for an old lady! But, I also have shotguns and pellet rifles. I learned almost all that when I turned 60. I made me a practice range on my place between the silage corn I planted and the wheat where I could and still do shoot regularly.

I have also made a list of things I want to learn to do and can now scratch off such as learning how to can with a pressure canner, use a chainsaw for cutting firewood, and I turned my front porch into a greenhouse so I will have tomatoes and lettuce in the winter.

I believe that if there is a will there is a way. Just because you are older and maybe not so strong physically does not mean you just lay down and die. I think that because I am older and alone it drives me to want to survive anything that is thrown at me. The instincts to survive are there and all you have to do is use your head, do the research, organize, learn, learn, learn, …and maybe, join a self-sufficiency /prepper group for moral support. When I needed gutters put up on the eaves of the house to catch rain water for the livestock, I looked on the internet for DIY instructions and got it done. When I needed raised garden beds for my gardening, I designed one and got it built. Now I have many of them. It wasn’t too hard but still there are things I wish I had help with but with a little ingenuity I usually get it done.

After my dad died, I had to decide where to move my 84-year-old mother and myself. I have always wanted to move back to the country and live out my life in a rural setting, so that is where I landed. That was four years ago and since then the outside world has grown more violent, unpredictable, and totally dangerous with rumors of war, terrorists and possible financial collapse and EMPs. I have not been able to ignore it any longer. Something big is going to happen and soon. I feel it in my bones and not being prepared made me start making lists, reading about emergency preparations and being more aware of what has been going on around me. Then my mother was diagnosed with third stage dementia and since early this last year has had to make the transfer from here to a nursing home. I found myself turning 65, needing back surgery and losing income from taking care of my mom. I kept making lists of foods, household goods, clothes, weapons for self-defense, first aid and medical stuff, tools, livestock, and a lot of other things including what I already knew and what I wanted to learn about. I read, searched the internet, read blogs and always ask questions. As time has passed I felt overwhelmed with the stuff I needed to get done and for the first time in a while felt completely alone. It took a good talking to myself to set me right on the prepper path and now I find myself making great strides in becoming totally self-sufficient and ready for anything. And, I don’t feel my age is a hurdle anymore but actually has been a blessing.

I know that living in the country is very different from living in the city. I have lived in both and when the time comes and the grid goes down, preparing oneself with food, water, and the tools you need to have to survive are almost the same. You still need warmth, a roof over your head, a way to cook, and protection. You still need to be ready to hunker down where you are and have survival items unique to your circumstances. I know that it can be a bit overwhelming and lonely when having to make decisions concerning your safety and comfort especially when you are by yourself. But, if you have studied, learned and listened to the rumblings you will be prepared and will survive. After all, you have made it this far so you can be called a senior citizen.

Something big is going to happen and soon. I feel it in my bones and not being prepared made me start making lists, reading about emergency preparations and being more aware of what has been going on around me.

Not everything in prepping for one is dreary. One thing I realized while making my shopping list the other day for my food storage was that it contained foods I really liked and I got to pick and choose what to purchase. No one else had a say in what I bought. That was a bonus since I lean towards comfort foods and not gourmet stuff. The pros definitely outweighed the cons like not having to share my favorite candy bar with anyone. Do take an inventory of all the items you have now and build on that. Don’t forget to prep for you pets and do splurge on some good books, puzzles and crafts supplies to keep busy if you ever have any free time. Make sure to store up batteries so you can play your cd player and listen to music. It is a treat for yourself after a long day of working to keep yourself alive. This can be true today before the SHTF. And, don’t feel sorry for yourself for being older and alone. I don’t believe Karma gives us more than we can handle and hard work and challenge build character even in seniors.

As for being a senior, you should be able to draw on that vast supply of experience on keeping yourself healthy, active, sharp and for learning new things. Just remember, it is not how old you are or how infirm you might be, don’t think you cannot do it. You can if you believe you can. You will find a way. Even not having a lot of funds for purchasing items for your survival shouldn’t deter you. Get creative and go to garage sales, second-hand shops, Good Will and Salvation Army. I shop a lot at the dollar store and have saved tons of money on paper goods, canned goods and other household items. Personal items are a good buy there as well.

I found out a long time ago, when my kids grew up and all moved away, and I divorced my husband that you only have yourself to rely on. No one is going to look out for you and it will be really true when the SHTF comes around. I found out there were things I didn’t think I could do but found out that I can. Being alone lets one really get to know yourself. Being older doesn’t mean that your world has come to an end. I believe I have every right to survive as the next person. Maybe more. That I have worked harder, learned more, done more and have earned the right to live with my own two hands by being more creative, smart, knowledgeable and resilient than the younger generation who can’t get the cell phone out of their face. Sit back at the end of the day and think of all you’ve accomplished all by yourself and be proud of it.

So, let’s get busy and quit thinking about how old we are and how much those joints hurt and start getting ready for that uncertain future and let’s survive. After all, we’ve lived this long, I’m game for twenty more years…are you?

The forces are mounting that will eventually overwhelm most Americans and send their standard of living to unknown depths. Americans that have only known the post WWII prosperity are ill equipped and educated to deal with depression level living. Easy credit and instant gratification have created a nation of whining, self absorbed, entitlement minded people with no moral or mental toughness.

Doug Casey believes we are headed for what he calls a super depression created by the ending of a debt super cycle. The bigger the debt cycle the bigger the depression that follows. That’s how reality works and most people are not prepared for reality.

When this depression, which has already started, gets momentum, it will overwhelm the plans of a society that is expecting to get things like social security, pensions and payouts from retirement plans they have paid into for many years. All of those things will disappear almost overnight and leave society gasping and stupefied over what to do. Their reactions will be to yell and scream and try to identify who to blame but the only person they should blame is the one in the mirror.

Many very smart people have raised the alarm and done their best to warn the sleeping public, but those slumbering masses have ignored the warnings and hit the snooze button one more time. The masses do not understand economics, do not want to understand economics and they will pay dearly for that ignorance in the coming days.

When the real unemployment rate becomes common knowledge as it increases substantially, people will be left to survive on what resources they have saved up outside the banking system that cannot be stolen by the politicians and bankers. That is a key point here. The assets you have outside the system that cannot be stolen from you with a few key strokes on some computer.

Those hoping for some miraculous event that will send the U.S. back to the days of manufacturing might and jobs for all will never see it happen. Those days are gone. The west line theory tells us our economy will slow down and become more modest as the shipping center of the world moves west to the next powerhouse region which is Asia. This is what history teaches us.

When people suddenly wake up one morning and they have no job, their retirement is gone and they need to care for their family, what will they do? When government services have collapsed and they suddenly realize they are now living in a third world country with few government services, what will they do? When the banks are closed and only a select few connected people have any type of money or access to goods, what will they do?

This is the reality that many people will face in the future and they have no idea how bad it can get. They refuse to contemplate the harsh reality they will be living in and take steps to mitigate the effects. To do so would be to acknowledge it could happen and they are taking personal responsibility. Personal responsibility is a dirty phrase in today’s entitlement society. To see some of the effects one only has to look at the collapse of society in Venezuela today to see what awaits.

When it happens it will all fall back to you to take responsibility for your family and take care of them for the duration. To do that you need to plan now for that eventuality and build up the resources you will need to provide food, shelter, clothing and security when the system fails to do it for you. You need to be Noah on his ark not the people watching as he floated away.

Having resources stored up is a must but it may not get you all the way through if the situation lasts for many years. That is why you need some type of plan to replace those resources as time goes by and have some way to generate some type of income or at least items to trade. Usable goods are for the short term and things like gold ,silver and production equipment are for the long term to help you get through the crisis with the least amount of pain.

Even with proper planning the days ahead will not be easy as the standard of living of society will fall substantially to levels only seen in failed third world countries or old pictures. The assets actually owned by people today is very small compared to how they live. They will default on their home loan, their car loan, and their credit card debt leaving them with very few real possessions and few ways to move what they have left even if they have some place to go. Ultimately these people will become the new serfs to the wealthy class that will take possession of anything of value. Feudalism will once again rule.

The lack of planning by society will make this a reality if it is allowed. What will you do when everything you have worked a lifetime for is suddenly taken away? Do you have a plan to keep what you have? Do you have a plan to make money when you cannot find a job? Do you have a way to take care of your family until things stabilize? Do you have a home you will not lose if the whole system breaks down? What will you do if electricity or fuel is too expensive to buy or not available to the general population? These are the questions you should be asking yourself now and you better have a good answer because your family will be asking them when the greater depression sets in.

It sounds farfetched to say that humanity is being inducted into a satanic cult, but this is literally what is happening. 

Satanic cults control and exploit their members by making them sick, physically and morally. 

This is the hidden agenda behind the scamdemic and lockdowns, and the reason they will not end unless people defy covid protocols en masse.

Many applaud the United Nations for its public policy and efforts of humanitarian society…

However, the U.N. is a front for Luciferian agendas. This is seen by underlining Luciferian themes and esoteric teachings WITHIN the halls of the U.N. There is even an occult meditation room is hosted at the U.N.

People do not realize the influence Theosophists have had on the United Nations. 

Theosophy, founded in the late 1800s by a Satanist Luciferian occultist named Helena Blavatsky. A group spawned from it under Alice Bailey called “Lucis Trust.” 

Lucis Trust, originally founded under the name “Lucifer Publishing” before changing its name, publishes esoteric occult works and promotes its 24 esoteric writings under its main education centers, the Arcane Schools and Findhorn Foundation.

Many prominent U.N. directors were Luciferians, such as Robert Muller and Maurice Strong, who initiated Agenda 21. They were practitioners of Theosophy, occult Luciferians, and drafted policies to initiate New Age through U.N. policies and directions, as the United Nations was developed to do.

David Spangler, Director of Planetary Initiative at the United Nations (department has since been removed from rosters), has said, “Lucifer comes to give us the final Luciferic initiation…that many people now and in the days ahead, will be facing – for it is an initiation into the New Age… No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a Luciferian initiation.”

Benjamin Crème, another prominent New Age “prophet,”  (Matrieya’s Mission, p.128)  insists that those who refuse to join in this World Initiation will find themselves in the minority and will have to “withdraw from this life.” 

Creme exhorts his followers to, “Be not afraid, therefore, when the ‘men of cloth’ raise their voices against the Great Lord, naming Him anti-Christ and arch-deceiver, for they know little of the laws which underlie their faiths and act and speak from ignorance and fear.”

Luciferians defend Lucifer as the Great God, the giver of life. 

As the Light-Bearer he enlightens men and provides knowledge. But in their view, Adonay (God) and Jesus Christ are the imposters to hold that light from us. And they will summon the great ancestors known as the “Ascended Masters” to open the door to the stage of the New Age in the “Age of Aquarius.” 

… In the meantime, consider what the U.N. actually supports and watch the pieces move towards that agenda. It represents Luciferians putting Lucifer on the throne for One World Government.

The number of reported deaths following COVID vaccines topped 4,000 according to data released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The data comes directly from reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

VAERS is the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.

Every Friday, VAERS makes public all vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date, usually about a week prior to the release date. Today’s data show that between Dec. 14, 2020 and May 7, a total of 192,954 total adverse events were reported to VAERS, including 4,057 deaths — an increase of 220 over the previous week — and 17,190 serious injuries, up 1,176 since last week.

• 

In the U.S., 254.8 million COVID vaccine doses had been administered as of May 7. This includes 110 million doses of Moderna’s vaccine, 136 million doses of Pfizer and 9 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID vaccine.

Of the 4,057 deaths reported as of May 7, 24% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination, 16% occurred within 24 hours and 38% occurred in people who became ill within 48 hours of being vaccinated.

This week’s VAERS data show:

• 21% of deaths were related to cardiac disorders.
• 54% of those who died were male, 44% were female and the remaining death reports did not include gender of the deceased.
• The average age of death was 74.8 and the youngest deaths reported include two 15-year-olds (VAERS I.D. 1187918 and 1242573 ) and a 16-year-old (VAERS I.D. 1225942). There were other reported deaths in children under 16 that could not be confirmed or contained obvious errors.
• As of May 7, 987 pregnant women reported adverse events related to COVID vaccines, including 297 reports of miscarriage or premature birth.
• Of the 1,950 cases of Bell’s Palsy reported, 50% were reported after Pfizer-BioNTech vaccinations, 42% following vaccination with the Moderna vaccine and 192 cases, or 10%, of Bell’s Palsy cases were reported in conjunction with J&J.
• There were 181 reports of Guillain-Barré Syndrome with 40% of cases attributed to Pfizer, 41% to Moderna and 23% to J&J.
• There were 55,220 reports of anaphylaxis with 38% of cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine, 49% to Moderna and 12% to J&J.

CDC find’s ‘plausible’ link between J&J vaccine and blood clotsOn May 13, The Defender reported officials with the CDC acknowledged a “plausible causal association” between J&J’s COVID vaccine and potentially life-threatening blood clot disorders after identifying 28 cases — including three deaths — among people who received the vaccine.

Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, deputy director of the CDC’s immunization safety office, identified 28 cases of rare blood clots in VAERS among people vaccinated with the J&J shot.

Shimabukuro said four of the 28 people remained in the hospital as of May 7, one of whom was in the ICU. Two were discharged to a post-acute care facility, 19 patients were discharged and three resulted in deaths.

Current evidence “suggests a plausible causal association” with the J&J vaccine and cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, Shimabukuro said. The CDC’s Dr. Sara Oliver said the benefits of the vaccine still outweigh the risk and no updates to vaccine policy are needed at this time.CHD and The Defender Now in 5 Languages – Watch Now

Children’s Health Defense queried the VAERS data for adverse events associated with the formation of clotting disorders and other related conditions and found 3,272 reports for all three vaccines from Dec. 14, 2020, through May 7.

Of the 3,272 cases reported, there were 1,218 reports attributed to Pfizer, 1,034 reports to Moderna and 1,000 reports to J&J.

FDA approves Pfizer vaccine for adolescents ages 12 to 15

NPR reported May 10 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said children 12 to 15 years old are now eligible to be vaccinated for COVID as the agency expanded its Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.

Pfizer submitted an amendment to their current EUA for an unapproved product on April 9 to expand use of its vaccine for adolescents ages 12 to 15 — with only six months of clinical data.

“Parents and guardians can rest assured that the agency undertook a rigorous and thorough review of all available data, as we have with all of our COVID-19 vaccine emergency use authorizations,” Dr. Janet Woodcock, the acting FDA commissioner, said.

Until now, Pfizer’s vaccine had been authorized only for people age 16 and older. The company said it plans to seek new EUA expansions for kids younger than 12 in September, with an expansion aimed at infants and toddlers during the fourth quarter this year.

CDC Says OK to give COVID vaccine along with routine vaccines for kids

On May 13, CNN reported a CDC expert said Wednesday it’s OK to give an experimental COVID vaccine in conjunction with other vaccinations.

Doctors and other clinicians were previously advised against giving a COVID vaccine within two weeks of any other vaccine, but Dr. Kate Woodworth of the CDC’s birth defects division said Wednesday that advice has now changed —saying there is substantial data on the safety of the vaccines.

Woodworth said the clinical considerations are being updated to say that COVID and other vaccines can be administered “without regard to timing,” including on the same day.

The American Academy of Pediatrics also said it supports giving routine childhood vaccines together with COVID vaccines.

Teen hospitalized with blood clots in brain after Pfizer Vaccine

On May 10, The Defender reported a Utah teen remains hospitalized with blood clots in his brain after receiving his first dose of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine.

Everest Romney, 17, received the vaccine April 21 and one day later began experiencing neck pain, fever and severe headaches. After more than a week of symptoms and being unable to freely move his neck, he was diagnosed with two blood clots inside his brain, and one outside.

Romney’s mother didn’t want to discourage parents from getting their kids vaccinated because she believes each parent must make the decision for their children, but said she wished her choice had been a different one.

The Utah Department of Health said the CDC is tasked with investigating possible vaccine side effects. After administering nearly 100 million doses of Pfizer’s vaccine, the CDC reported there hasn’t been a single related case of a blood clot forming in the brain as of April 12.

Brazil suspends AstraZeneca vaccine after pregnant woman dies, Slovakia suspends after woman’s death

On May 12, The Defender reported that Brazil’s federal government suspended AstraZeneca’s vaccine for pregnant women after an expectant mother in Rio de Janeiro died from a stroke possibly related to the vaccine. The 35-year-old woman, who was 23 weeks pregnant, died of a hemorrhagic stroke after checking into a hospital five days earlier.

Brazil’s federal health regulator, Anvisa, said in a statement the use of AstraZeneca’s COVID shot by pregnant women should be “immediately suspended” as authorities investigate the reported death. AstraZeneca said in a statement that pregnant women were never included in clinical trials of its vaccine.

Slovakia also announced Tuesday it was suspending AstraZeneca’s vaccine for first-time vaccinations after a 47-year-old woman died from cerebral venous sinus thrombosis — a blood-clotting disorder where clots form in the veins that drain blood from the brain — connected to the shot.

“Genetic examination also revealed blood-clotting disorders in the patient,” the regulator said. “Due to the existence of a genetic predisposition to a thrombophilic state, an association between [the AstraZeneca jab] and subsequent venous sinus thrombosis was established as likely,” it added.

New study links vaccine to blood clots

As The Defender reported May 12, new research published in The BMJ confirmed evidence of blood clotting and found a small risk after receiving just one dose of AstraZeneca’s vaccine.

Researchers investigated the likelihood of blood clotting events for 282,572 people in Denmark and Norway. Using data from healthcare registries, they reviewed information on people 18 to 65 years old who received their first dose of AstraZeneca between Feb. 9 and March 11.

Researchers observed an “increased rate of venous thromboembolic events, corresponding to 11 excess venous thromboembolic events per 100,000 vaccinations and including a clearly increased rate of cerebral venous thrombosis with seven observed events versus 0.3 expected events among the 282,572 vaccine recipients.” There was also a small increased risk of pulmonary embolism, lower limb venous thrombosis and other venous thrombosis.

The Canadian provinces of Alberta and Ontario said Tuesday they will stop offering first doses of AstraZeneca’s vaccine, with Ontario citing evidence the risk of rare blood clots was higher than previously estimated. Quebec and New Brunswick followed suit Thursday, Reuters reported.

Dr. David Williams, chief medical officer of health for the Province of Ontario, made the decision out of an abundance of caution and due to an increase in cases of Vaccine-Induced Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (VITT) — a rare, potentially fatal blood clotting syndrome linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Norway will not use AstraZeneca vaccine, J&J paused

As The Defender reported May 12, Norway will not resume use of the AstraZeneca vaccine due to concerns of rare blood clots reported in some patients after their first dose, while the J&J vaccine remains on hold. An expert committee, set up by the Norwegian government, conducted a comprehensive risk assessment of the two vaccines and recommended AstraZeneca & J&J’s vaccine be dropped from Norway’s vaccination program.

“We do not recommend that the vaccines be used in the national vaccination program due to the serious side effects that have been seen,” chair of the expert committee, Lars Vorland, said.

Denmark was the first country in Europe to officially drop AstraZeneca and J&J’s vaccines due to the risk of blood clots, but many countries have restricted use of AstraZeneca in certain age groups.

67 days and counting, CDC ignores The Defender’s inquiries

As The Defender reported May 12, we have made repeated attempts to contact the CDC with a list of questions about COVID vaccine injury reports in VAERS, including ongoing investigations into reported deaths. Our questions remain unanswered.

According to the CDC website, “the CDC follows up on any report of death to request additional information and learn more about what occurred and to determine whether the death was a result of the vaccine or unrelated.”

On March 8, The Defender contacted the CDC with a written list of questions about reported deaths and injuries related to COVID vaccines. We requested information about how the CDC conducts investigations into reported deaths, the status of ongoing investigations into deaths and injuries reported by the media, if autopsies were being conducted, the standard for determining whether an injury is causally connected to a vaccine, and education initiatives to encourage and facilitate proper and accurate reporting.

After repeated attempts, by phone and email, to obtain a response to our questions, a health communications specialist from the CDC’s Vaccine Task Force contacted us on March 29 — three weeks after our initial inquiry.

The individual received our request for information from VAERS, but said she had never received our list of questions, even though employees we talked to several times said CDC press officers were working through the questions and confirmed the representative had received them. We provided the list of questions again along with a new deadline, but never received a response.

The Defender also followed up with the CDC’s media department, which told us  the COVID response unit would be informed that the health communications specialist never responded. No explanation was given as to why our inquiries were ignored. We were told to call back, which we did numerous times.

We asked why the taxpayer-funded CDC seemed to respond to other news media outlets in a timely manner, but hasn’t responded to The Defender. No answer was provided. We were told someone would get back to us.

It has been 67 days since we sent our first email inquiring into VAERS data and reports, but still no response.

The 1957 film, The Three Faces of Eve, was about dissociative personality disorder, then known as multiple personality syndrome. It was a hard film based on an actual case of a woman who suffered from the condition.

It is not much of a leap to describe the Republican Party as currently constituted as suffering from the same malady. There are the true small-government, liberty-loving constitutionalists like Devin Nunes, Jim Jordan, Tom Cotton, Matt Gaetz, Ron Johnson, Josh Hawley, Elise Stefanik, Steve Scalise, Rand Paul, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ted Cruz, Louie Gohmert, and John Kennedy.

Then there are the squishes, who are afraid of their own shadows when it comes to fighting the Democrats — the elected officials who are there only to hold power, not to exercise it for their constituents. Those would be Kevin McCarthy and his go-along to get-along bunch, the Pelosi-ites like Rob Portman, Lindsey Graham who bends with the prevailing winds of the day. Most of the Republicans fall into this category.

Then there are the never-Trumpers: Mitch McConnell, Romney, Ben Sasse, Adam Kinzinger, Pat Toomey, John Katko, Jamie Beutler, Dan Newhouse, David Valadao, Peter Meijer, Tom Rice, Fred Upton, Anthony Gonzalez, Richard Burr, Susan Collins (of course), Bill Cassidy, and Lisa Murkowski, along with the execrable Liz Cheney, the left’s new favorite congressperson.

There is no doubt about it, the Republican Party is suffering from multiple personality disorder.

Thanks to Donald Trump, we can all clearly see who among our officials actually represents the American people who elected them; which members of Congress are interested only in keeping their seats; and those who passively align themselves with the Democrats to push our republic into a version of communist China with a social credit system, struggle sessions, and mandatory submission to an all-powerful government that would make Mao and Stalin proud. Far too many of them are sitting still for this.

The Republican Party is in serious disarray; it’s fractured. Yellow-bellies like Kevin McCarthy are the majority, and the open NeverTrumps are traitors to their constituents. Where do they all seem to work together? When confirming Biden’s dismal appointees to high office within his illegitimate administration. They are all awful! William Burns for CIA has numerous links to the Communist Party of China; Susan Henessey to the DOJ is a confirmed rabid Russia hoaxer. Lisa Monaco probably ordered the raid on Giuliani.

On this one score, their three faces meld into one insipid like-mind that cravenly submits to the most radical administration in U.S. History. Republicans never fight as the Dems do. They capitulate. The Democrats never capitulate; they fight like the thugs they are.

Under the Biden administration, those of us who continue to embrace Trump’s America First polices that engendered the best economy for all demographics, who support securing our southern border, who were thrilled by the energy independence that Trump brought about and the de-regulation that energized so many small and large businesses, are even more deplorable to the left now than we were in Hillary Clinton’s view. Wanting a free and economically powerful America is anathema to the left. The left means to indoctrinate our kids rather than educate them. Leftists’ totalitarian agenda demands “equity” rather than equality; skin color reigns supreme. They mean to cripple this nation; no more oil exploration, no more secure borders, no more law and order, no more freedom of speech or assembly, no more Second Amendment. The left means to destroy America as founded, and, though interrupted by Trump’s presidency, the Soros-Obama plan is back in play. China owns Biden, and he is speeding up America’s decline in service of the communist nation and the globalists.

The left is by nature miserable. Leftists will not rest until everyone is as miserable as they are. And because our ruling class is thoroughly removed from reality, they believe that their prescriptions for the rest of us will never affect their oh, so privileged lifestyles. The left suffers from dissociative identity disorder, too: “a mental illness that involves disruptions or breakdowns of memory, awareness, identity and/or perception.” That pretty much sums up too many members of our political class, left and right. Think Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. Think Joe Biden.

When the right does not fight back against the left’s anti-American grand plan — its absurd erasure of biological sex, its primacy of criminals over law-abiding citizens — the right is as certifiably mentally ill as the left. That the Republicans are not, as a whole, standing up against the pandemic nonsense — mask mandates and lockdowns — is so disappointing. They should be fighting for the essential “my body, my choice” when it comes to vaccines! Why are they not, as a cohesive group, opposing the very notion of vaccine passports? Why can’t the Republicans in Congress learn from governors like DeSantis? They don’t. They are cowering in the corners of their congressional offices, terrified of the leftmedia. God forbid they be criticized by a mindless hack at the NYT or on CNN or MSNBC.

The Republican Party is suffering from an identity crisis. What is a Republican? For what principles do these people stand tall? We know who the good guys are, but they are a minority. Why aren’t all of the elected Republicans on the same page?

Bottom line? Conservatives are not being well served by their elected officials. Most of them will throw us, their constituents, under the bus to avoid negative press. That, and continued acceptance and admission to the D.C. party circuit, motivates all those do-nothing Republicans every day of the week.

Let’s vote all the nebbishes out and elect some fervent pro-American reps and senators. And let us support the good ones already there. We all know who they are.

This call for a halt to the vaccines comes from a largely Latin American group of doctors and researchers, including several from Spain. America’s Dr. Peter McCullough is also part of this group, as it well known French geneticist Dr. Alexandra Henrion-Caude.

57 Scientists & Physicians Call For Immediate Halt to All CV-19 “Vaccinations”

A group of 57 leading scientists, physicians and policy experts have issued a report calling into question the safety and efficacy of current COVID-19 “vaccines” and are now calling for an immediate end to all vaccination programs – among them geneticist Alexandra Henrion-Caude.

The therapies used as “vaccines” do not meet the definition of the word vaccine and would be more appropriately called gene therapies or vaccine vector therapies.

There are two certainties regarding the global distribution of these Covid-19 therapies:

• The first is that governments and the vast majority of the mainstream media are putting all their efforts into getting these experimental drugs to as many people as possible.
• The second is that those who are willing to face the scorn that comes with asking serious questions about vaccines are essential players in our ongoing efforts to spread the truth.

You can read this manuscript in pre-print below. It was prepared by nearly sixty physicians, scientists, and public policy experts from around the world to be sent urgently to world leaders as well as to all those associated with the production and distribution of the various Covid-19 vaccines in circulation.

If society collapses, you can bet that the foods the pioneers ate will become dietary staples

The Lost Ways prepares you to deal with worst-case scenarios with the minimum amount of resources just like our forefathers lived their lives, totally independent from electricity, cars, or modern technology.

So pay chose attention because this video will change your life forever for the good!

There are still far too many unanswered questions about the safety, efficacy and necessity of these Covid-19 therapies.

This study is a bombshell that should be read by everyone, regardless of their views on gene therapies or vaccines.

Not enough citizens are asking questions. Most people simply follow the orders of world governments, as if they had earned our complete trust. This is not the case. This manuscript is a step forward in terms of accountability and the free flow of information on this crucial subject. Please take the time to read it and share it widely.

Abstract

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic, the race to test new platforms designed to confer immunity to SARS-CoV-2 has been rampant and unprecedented, leading to the emergency authorization of various vaccines. Despite advances in early multidrug therapy for COVID-19 patients, the current mandate is to vaccinate the global population as quickly as possible. The lack of extensive animal testing prior to clinical trials, and approval based on safety data generated in trials that lasted less than 3.5 months, raises questions about the safety of these vaccines. The recently identified role of the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein in inducing endothelial damage characteristic of COVID-19, even in the absence of infection, is extremely relevant given that most licensed vaccines induce Spike glycoprotein production in recipients. Given the high rate of occurrence of adverse events and the wide range of adverse event types reported to date, as well as the potential for vaccine-induced disease enhancement, Th2 immunopathology, autoimmunity, and immune evasion, there is a need for a better understanding of the benefits and risks of mass vaccination, particularly in groups excluded from clinical trials. Despite calls for caution, the risks of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 have been downplayed or ignored by health organizations and government authorities. We call for the need for a pluralistic dialogue in health policy.

Introduction

Since the declaration of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020, more than 150 million cases and 3 million deaths have been reported worldwide. Despite advances in early outpatient multidrug therapy for high-risk patients, resulting in an 85% reduction in Covid-19-related hospitalizations and deaths [1], the current control paradigm is mass vaccination. Although we recognize the effort involved in the development, production, and emergency licensure of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, we are concerned that the risks have been minimized or ignored by health organizations and government authorities, despite calls for caution [2-8].

Vaccines against other coronaviruses have never been approved for use in humans, and data generated in the development of coronavirus vaccines designed to elicit neutralizing antibodies show that they can worsen COVID-19 disease via antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) and Th2 immunopathology, regardless of the vaccine. platform and delivery method [9-11]. Vaccine-induced disease enhancement in SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV vaccinated animals is known to occur following viral challenge and has been attributed to immune complexes and Fc-mediated viral uptake by macrophages, which increase T cell activation and inflammation [11 -13].

In March 2020, vaccine immunologists and coronavirus experts assessed the risks of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine based on SARS-CoV vaccine trials in animal models. The panel concluded that ADR and immunopathology were a real concern, but stated that their risk was insufficient to delay clinical trials, although continued monitoring would be required [14]. Although there is no clear evidence of the occurrence of ADRs and vaccine-related immunopathology in volunteers immunized with SARS-CoV-2 vaccines [15], safety trials to date have not specifically addressed these serious adverse events (SAEs). Given that follow-up of volunteers did not exceed 2-3.5 months after the second dose [16-19], it is unlikely that such an SAE was observed. Despite 92 reporting errors, it cannot be ignored that even taking into account the number of vaccines administered, according to the US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the number of deaths per million doses of vaccine administered increased more than 10-fold. We believe there is an urgent need for an open scientific dialogue on vaccine safety in the context of large-scale vaccination.

In this article, we describe some of the risks of mass vaccination in the context of exclusion criteria for phase 3 trials and discuss the GSS reported in national and regional adverse event registration systems. We highlight unanswered questions and draw attention to the need for a more cautious approach to mass vaccination. We believe there is an urgent need for an open scientific dialogue on vaccine safety in the context of large-scale vaccination.

Exclusion criteria for the SARS-CoV-2 phase 3 trial

With few exceptions, SARS-CoV-2 vaccine trials have excluded elderly individuals [16-19], making it impossible to identify the occurrence of post-vaccination eosinophilia and increased inflammation in the elderly. Studies of SARS-CoV vaccines have shown that immunized elderly mice are at particularly high risk for potentially lethal Th2 immunopathology [9,20]. Despite this evidence and the extremely limited data on the safety and efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in the elderly, mass vaccination campaigns have focused on this age group from the beginning. Most trials have also excluded pregnant and lactating volunteers, as well as those with chronic and severe conditions such as tuberculosis, hepatitis C, autoimmunity, coagulopathies, cancer, and immunosuppression [16-29], although these recipients are now offered the vaccine under the premise of safety.

Another exclusion criterion in almost all trials was prior exposure to SARS-CoV-2. This is unfortunate because it denied the possibility of obtaining highly relevant information regarding post-vaccination adverse events in individuals who already have anti-SARS-Cov-2 antibodies. To the best of our knowledge, ADEs are not routinely monitored for any age or medical condition group currently administered the vaccine. Furthermore, despite a substantial proportion of the population already having antibodies [21], testing for anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody status prior to vaccine administration is not routinely performed.

Will serious adverse events from SARS-CoV-2 vaccines go undetected?

COVID-19 encompasses a broad clinical spectrum, ranging from very mild to severe pulmonary pathology and fatal multi-organ disease with inflammatory, cardiovascular, and blood coagulation dysregulation [22-24]. In this sense, vaccine-related ADR or immunopathology would be clinically indistinguishable from severe COVID-19 [25]. Furthermore, even in the absence of SARS-CoV-2 virus, the spike glycoprotein alone causes endothelial damage and hypertension in vitro and in vivo in Syrian hamsters by downregulating angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and impairing mitochondrial function [26]. Although these results need to be confirmed in humans, the implications of this finding are staggering, as all vaccines licensed for emergency use are based on the administration or induction of spike glycoprotein synthesis. In the case of mRNA and adenovirus vectorized vaccines, no studies have examined the duration of spike production in humans after vaccination.

On the basis of the precautionary principle, it is parsimonious to consider that vaccine-induced spike synthesis could cause clinical signs of severe COVID-19 and be erroneously counted as new cases of SARS-CoV-2 infections. If this is the case, the true adverse effects of the current global vaccination strategy may never be recognized unless studies specifically examine this issue. There is already non-causal evidence of temporary or sustained increases in COVID-19 deaths following vaccination in some countries (Fig.1), and in light of the pathogenicity of spike, these deaths need to be studied in depth to determine whether they are related to vaccination.

Unanticipated adverse reactions to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines

Autoimmunity is another critical issue to consider given the global scale of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. SARS-CoV-2 has many immunogenic proteins and all but one of its immunogenic epitopes have similarities to human proteins [27]. These can act as a source of antigens, leading to autoimmunity [28]. While it is true that the same effects could be observed in natural infection with SARS-CoV-2, vaccination is intended for most of the world’s population, whereas it is estimated that only 10% of the world’s population has been infected with SARS-CoV -2, according to Dr. Michael Ryan, head of emergencies at the World Health Organization. We could not find evidence that any of the currently licensed vaccines have screened and excluded homologous immunogenic epitopes to avoid potential autoimmunity due to pathogenic priming.

Some adverse events, including blood clotting disorders, have already been reported in healthy, young vaccinees. These cases have led to the suspension or cancellation of the use of ChAdOx1-nCov-19 and Janssen adenoviral vectorized vaccines in some countries. It has now been proposed that vaccination with ChAdOx1-nCov-19 may result in immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (ITT) mediated by platelet-activating antibodies to platelet factor-4, which clinically mimics heparin-induced autoimmune thrombocytopenia [29]. Unfortunately, the risk was overlooked when these vaccines were approved, although adenovirus-induced thrombocytopenia has been known for more than a decade and has been a consistent event with adenoviral vectors [30]. The risk of TTIV would likely be higher in individuals already at risk for blood clots,

At the population level, there could also be vaccine-related impacts. SARS-CoV-2 is a rapidly evolving RNA virus that has so far produced more than 40,000 variants [32,33], some of which affect the antigenic domain of the spike glycoprotein [34,35]. Given the high mutation rates, vaccine-induced synthesis of high levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2-spike antibodies could theoretically lead to suboptimal responses against subsequent infections by other variants in vaccinated individuals [36], a phenomenon known as “sin”[37] or antigenic priming [38]. The extent to which mutations affecting SARS-CoV-2 antigenicity will become fixed during viral evolution is unknown [39], but vaccines could likely act as selective forces resulting in variants with higher infectivity or transmissibility. Given the high similarity among known SARS-CoV-2 variants, this scenario is unlikely [32,34], but if future variants were to differ further in key epitopes, the global vaccination strategy could have helped shape an even more dangerous virus. This risk was recently brought to the attention of WHO in the form of an open letter [40].

Discussion

The risks described here are a major obstacle to further global vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. Evidence of the safety of all SARS-CoV-2 vaccines is needed before exposing more people to the risk of these experiments, as the release of a candidate vaccine without time to fully understand the resulting health impact could lead to an exacerbation of the current global crisis. [41]. Risk stratification of vaccinees is critical. According to the British government, people under 60 years of age have an extremely low risk of dying from COVID-19. However, according to Eudravigillance, most serious adverse events following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination occur in people aged 18 to 64 years. Of particular concern is the planned vaccination schedule for children aged 6 years and older in the United States and the United Kingdom. Dr. Anthony Fauci recently projected that adolescents nationwide will be vaccinated in the fall and younger children in early 2022, and the United Kingdom is awaiting trial results to begin vaccinating 11 million children under the age of 18. to the experimental vaccines, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that they have a 99.997% survival rate if infected with SARS-CoV-2. Not only is COVID-19 irrelevant as a threat to this age group, but there is no reliable evidence to support the efficacy or effectiveness of the vaccine in this population or to rule out harmful side effects of these experimental vaccines. In this sense, when physicians counsel patients on the elective administration of COVID-19 vaccination.

In conclusion, in the context of the rushed emergency authorization for use of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and the current gaps in our understanding of their safety, the following questions must be raised:

• Is it known whether cross-reacting antibodies from previous coronavirus infections or vaccine-induced antibodies can influence the risk of unintended pathogenesis after vaccination with COVID-19?
• Has the specific risk of ADRs, immunopathology, autoimmunity, and serious adverse reactions been clearly disclosed to vaccine recipients to meet the medical ethics standard of patient understanding for informed consent? If not, what are the reasons and how could it be implemented?
• What is the rationale for administering the vaccine to each individual when the risk of dying from COVID-19 is not equal across age groups and clinical conditions and when the phase 3 trials excluded the elderly, children, and frequent specific conditions?
• What are the legal rights of patients if they are harmed by a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine? Who will cover the costs of medical treatment? If claims were to be settled with public funds, has the public been informed that vaccine manufacturers have been granted immunity and that their responsibility to compensate those harmed by the vaccine has been transferred to taxpayers?

In the context of these concerns, we propose stopping mass vaccination and opening an urgent, pluralistic, critical and scientifically based dialogue on SARS-CoV-2 vaccination between scientists, physicians, international health agencies, regulatory authorities, governments and vaccine developers. This is the only way to bridge the current gap between scientific evidence and public health policy regarding SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. We are convinced that humanity deserves a deeper understanding of the risks than what is currently presented as the official position. An open scientific dialogue is urgent and necessary to avoid the erosion of public confidence in science and public health and to ensure that WHO and national health authorities protect the interests of humanity during the current pandemic.

There is an urgent need to return public health policy to evidence-based medicine, based on careful evaluation of relevant scientific research. It is imperative to follow the science.

Hi, my name is Chris Burns,

And today, in this short video I’ll tell you a life-changing story about how I figured out how to easily create an automated supply of the freshest, high-quality clean water you’ve ever tasted for pennies on the dollar…

I’m talking about a simple invention that can be used by any family around the world to make safe, clean and cool drinking water out of thin air…even in the desert.

Over the past year over 11000 people have also already successfully used the very same technique to get over tragic milestones such as hurricanes, snow storms or floods.

Based on technology that’s already in use by the military from countries including Israel, India, the U.K. and the U.S., not only can it give up to 60 gallons of water per day to last through the centuries long drought NASA is predicting it’s right around the corner, but…

It can ameliorate your utility bills all year long…

I’m sure you’re already intrigued and you want to know all about how this system works.

Honestly, it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen and in a few minutes from now you’ll be outraged you’ve put your family s life in the hands of FEMA the Government and the greedy water corporations that make the cards these days…

So you absolutely need to watch this short presentation today, while it’s still up…

I don’t know how much longer I’ll have this free presentation online, so watch this right now, while you still can…

Before we continue, let me tell you who I am, and how it all started…

As I mentioned before, my name is Chris Burns I’m a 57 year-old farmer and I live near Fresno City with my wife and 2 daughters…

Folks who live here know that water shortages due to droughts in the area are somehow of an issue and we have been fighting them for years…

And we’ve never liked how our officials are handling the situation by introducing laws that force us to cut our usage or by raising the prices for something everybody should afford…

Like having a clean, non-disturbed water supply without restriction…

However, we simply settled thinking “That’s the economy” or “Maybe it’ll be better next year”, month after month struggling not to fall behind on bills.

All that until the spring of 2014, May 16th, Wednesday.

The absolute worst day of my life.

We were entering our third year of drought, a recurring nightmare for those old enough to remember the prolonged dry period of 1987 to 1991 and the disaster of 1976 and 1977, the previous record-setting drought.

But this time it was different.                      

Without help from the heavens, 2014 will be the last year before my family will begin to go bankrupt…

Due to the severe drought I was forced to leave hundreds of acres unplanted because there is simply no water for my crops.

Moreover, The State Water Project announced for the first time in its 54-year history that it would deliver no water and we would have to get by with water from other sources, such as the Colorado River, groundwater and the little left in their reservoirs.

And I was expecting zero allocation from the federal Central Valley Project, which delivers water to farmers through 500 miles of canals.

However, I thought I was prepared…solar electricity, solar hot water and we even had our own well.

Big Mistake.

3 years ago our well totally dried out…

I didn’t really panic because I still had a 600 gallons water stockpile that I saved as an emergency reserve…to last enough for my family while we dig a new well.

A few nights after I submitted our permit application for our new well…I heard some noises coming from my back yard…

I took my gun and hurried outside to see what happened…

And what I saw made me freeze in my tracks…

There were some men loading our water stockpile into their truck!

They weren’t looking to break into our house or searching for valuable stuff like gold, money and electronics…they just wanted our water supply.

I was ready to shoot right then and there…yet before I could even aim my gun I felt the cold barrel of a rifle pressed upon the back of my head…

There was nothing I could do…

You can’t imagine how I felt not being able to protect my family…

And then the next morning when my little Joan came to me and said “Daddy, I’m thirsty!”

I immediately burst in tears.

It was the most devastating moment of my life.

I felt like my world collapsed.

I felt POWERLESS because there was nothing I could do to protect the ones I cared for most…

It was the moment I realized I was at the end of my rope.

I swore to myself I’d never put my wife and two daughters in a similar situation again.

I don’t want to sound preachy about it…but ask yourself…What Happens If The Drought Continues…What are we going to turn into? Are there going to be killings over a sip of water? Humanity is already on the verge of de-humanization due to hard times that continue to weaken all of us…

Listen, the droughts so far left unchangeable consequences…and there are no signs that it would get better…

Water Is Rapidly Becoming “The New Oil” And People Are Starting To Look At Water Much Like A New Gold Rush.

The situation has grown so dire that the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence now ranks water scarcity as a major threat to national security alongside terrorism.

This means that every year, competition for a clean, copious supply of water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and sustaining life intensifies.

Sadly, the competitors include thieves, big corporations and even our government…

Yet, how did we get in this life-threatening situation?

The First Reason Is That Most Of Us Take Water Completely For Granted…

We tend to think of water only as it’s coming out of our tap in the morning when we’re brushing our teeth or washing vegetables or whatever.

But, in fact, water is imbedded in everything we use and buy and do throughout the day.

Your morning shower takes 17 gallons of water and growing the coffee beans for your cup of joe took upwards of 34 gallons…and it takes 13 gallons of water to generate one gallon of gas…

Before Lunch, You’ve Used Up Thousands Of Gallons Of Water…

This water, which often goes largely unseen, is called “virtual water.” What gets forgotten is that virtual water is as REAL as the water you drink.

There is basically the same amount of freshwater on earth as there always has been…

But while the amount of freshwater on the planet has remained fairly constant over time, the population has exploded…leaving the world’s water resources in crisis.

And on top of all that…

NASA And Top Universities Have SOLID Proof That A Disastrous SUPER DROUGHT Is Going To Hit Us Hard

A decades-long “megadrought” that could make entire regions of the country nearly uninhabitable…just like it did before several times as history tell us…

Now I can hear you BS radar going off…And I’m sure you’re already thinking there’s no way it could be true…

Please, if you have ever lived with this confidence, stop right now! I’ll explain why in a moment…

History has shown us time and time again that things can go south in the blink of an eye…

In the second half of the 13th century, a catastrophic worldwide drought caused the collapse of societies all over the globe…cities and towns were literally abandoned…

Native Americans called the Anasazi suddenly disappeared from their homes at Mesa Verde on the Colorado Plateau during this extreme drought…

And here’s the bad part: History has a not so funny way of repeating itself and…

“Those Who Cannot Remember The Past Are Condemned To Repeat It”

Thanks to satellites launched by NASA, we can now understand more accurately and measure this developing invisible crisis…revealing how supplies are shrinking rapidly…not just in the US…all over the American continent…

Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the U.S. is now at the lowest that it has ever been since the Hoover Dam was finished in the 1930s…

We’re pumping irreplaceable groundwater to counter the drought.

But this is just the beginning…

Groundwater comes from aquifers—spongelike gravel and sand-filled underground reservoirs…

We rely on this hidden—and shrinking—water supply to meet our needs but these aquifers cannot recharge, and once this “fossil” water is gone, it is gone forever…and then the real crisis begins…

Look at Lake Powell (the United States’ second largest reservoir) had fallen to dangerously low levels…

Just imagine what will happen if the drought keeps getting worse…it will be down for the count…and sadly, there will be no water left to splash on our face to help recover.

The entire American continent is already on the ropes…we’re turning back into a desert.

The Colorado River Basin, which supplies water to 40 million people in seven states, is losing water at dramatic rates – a “shocking” 65 cubic kilometers, or roughly the equivalent of two full Lake Meads…and it’s no longer even reaches the ocean.

A recent Kansas State University study said that if farmers in Kansas keep irrigating at present rates, 69 percent of the Ogallala Aquifer will be gone in a blink…and a major crisis in the years ahead is virtually guaranteed…

When the Dust Bowl overtook the Great Plains in the 1930s, the Ogallala hasn’t been yet discovered, and the results were devastating…death, famine and for the most fortunate…relocation.

We All Heard About These Recent Tragedies…

Fourteen of the world’s 20 megacities are now experiencing water scarcity or severe drought conditions.

Just a few years ago, the 2011 Texas drought was raging at full throttle and we saw emaciated longhorns, desiccated fields and burning prairie grass.  Stories of small towns literally running out of water made headlines.

For years, we have been warned that Dust Bowl conditions would be returning to the country, and as this drought continues to stretch on we can now see it slowly happening all around us.

During a SHTF situation, pain could become an annoyance for some, but unbearable for others.

If doctors are scarce and medicine becomes even scarcer, this one little weed, found all over North America and similar to morphine, could be a saving grace.

Most people don’t realize that things are going to get worse than this…Much worse!

The United States is on the verge of a national crisis that could mean the end of clean, cheap water.

Hundreds of cities and towns are at risk of sudden and severe shortages, either because available water is not safe to drink or because there simply isn’t enough of it.

And All These Will Trigger Wars All Over The American Continent…

War and drought are the two words forever associated…and it already happened before…

Recent reports of the consequences of droughts in Syria and Somalia indicate that these events have already contributed to armed conflict outbreaks or sustained conflicts in both countries.

During these conflicts, over 290,000 people died.

Scientists proved droughts and other severe weather events are increasing the risk of wars breaking out across the world…as one in four conflicts coincided with “climatic calamities”.

What Are We Going To Do Once All The Water Is Gone?

Well, I immediately began researching every single alternative I could find.

I considered drilling a new well, and I looked pretty much into this option. However, I found out that well-drillers are working overtime and farmers and homeowners short of water now must wait in line more than a year for their new wells.

Moreover, wells that used to strike water at 500 feet deep must now be drilled down 1,000 feet or more, at a cost of more than $300,000 for a single well. Money I just haven’t lying around…and according to scientists they will all dry out eventually…

Next, I considered filtering water.

But, maybe you heard that we have a major toxic-chemicals-in-water problem.

And we have been drinking, bathing in and cooking with water containing unsafe levels of chemicals such as arsenic and fluoride for months…

So the idea of filtering water is becoming an impossible mission…

So I had only one option…

If I wanted to make sure my family never goes through such an experience again, I had to create my own solution.

It had to be something cheap.

And fast and easy to build because I definitely didn’t have any technical skills to build complicated stuff.

Being a farmer doesn’t really offer those kinds of skills.

So I started looking into every other solution that could bring me the security for my family.

Many sleepless nights passed and I was getting tired of surfing the Internet for a simple solution.

Yet one day, Liz, my wife, reminded me about my uncle Phillip and his research in the military sector.

On top of that…his life-goal was to save the planet and offer our children a better life.

As a professional researcher he had all the resources he needed to do it.

And, setting his goal to “Help humankind”, as he said, he dedicated his life to discovering new technology.

And he did a thorough research.

I remembered him telling me how when he was on the battlefield…military troops in some of the toughest field conditions in the world were able to source drinking water out of thin air.

That very moment I realized the answer I was looking for was in front of my eyes…

I later found out that the innovative system he told me about was invented by a brilliant professor as a portable water generator, which extracts water from the air…

This device is being used with great success in the military sector by armed forces from seven countries, including the United States, India, France and Mexico…to produce drinking water in conflict zones…in the hottest and driest of environments mostly in the desert.

The device is based on a simple condensation principle. It sucks in humid air and cools it down, much like an air conditioner, but a lot more efficient…and transforms it into drinkable water.

That’s the real secret.

What you may not realize is just how efficient such a simple innovative system is…as it eliminates the need of buying expensive bottled water or going through the hassle of drilling a new well…

The water is purified and the unique system can produce up to 60 gallons of clean, fresh water a day…and you won’t have to worry about all the nasty chemicals ever again…

The fundamentals are so easy and if properly applied, you can have a virtually unlimited water supply anywhere…even if you live in the desert.

That was the solution to my problem.

However, I found out that the technology to extract water from the air is not new and…some greedy corporations got their hands on it and are selling these devices to families for close to a small fortune…

So while this option was off the table, I knew there had to be a solution out there…

And that’s when I decided to pay a visit to my uncle…he saw the device with his own eye after all…

Without wasting a second, I took some time off and told my wife and daughters I was going to visit their uncle.

I kissed them goodbye and I swore myself I wouldn’t come back without the solution.

I went to Macon, Georgia, and talked with my uncle.

I told him my story and asked if he could help me…begging him to show me his research on this device…

He agreed and as he explained to me what it was all about in very little detail…I got very disappointed because everything sounded too hard for me. I had no technical knowledge whatsoever.

I said:

“Uncle Phillip stop! I know you have some technical knowledge and it is easy for you to understand what’s in there…but is there any way to make this simple so anyone can do it?”

Being an enthusiast in this field, he agreed.

However, I insisted to set some basic rules:

• The device had to be incredibly cheap to build – I was already over my budget with the research, the trip and everything.
• It had to be very easy to build – so that I could explain it to my wife and kids to build it if God forbid something were to happen to me.

So we started working on the project together.

The first models we made were either too expensive, or too complicated for me to build.

We had some heated arguments, mainly because of me being stubborn – I needed the device to be cheap and simple.

In the end, after several attempts…

We finally came up with a prototype that seemed to be what we were looking for.

The design was brilliant…

And we managed to build it with $270 worth of materials from Home Depot…

However, I’m sure we could have found the parts at a junkyard for free, if we weren’t in a rush.

But the most important part is that it was incredibly simple to put together.

You simply had to place the components in the correct position…

And because of the ingenious way the device was designed…

It gave us up to 20 gallons of the purest water per day…Plus, the quality of this water is far better than drinking regulations.

Even more, the system was actually incredibly easy to use – even if you’re terrible at building stuff and have trouble plugging in a DVD player to your TV.

The next step was to test it out and see if it really worked as well as we thought it would.

So we started the device and…

I stood watching in complete AMAZEMENT…

The system reached optimum performance because of the brilliant design uncle Phillip had come up with…

It was providing a steady, robust supply of fresh, pure water on demand…

I could hardly contain my EXCITEMENT of what we accomplished…

Of not just having all the healthy, pure WATER we could DRINK…But also the WATER INSURANCE this would give us should disaster hit…

In truth, I almost couldn’t believe how simple all of this was…

Missing my family, I rushed home with the plans…

I started building the device from scratch, following the steps and using most of the stuff I had lying around in my backyard…and after about 1 hour, I built the device and put it to work.

It ran perfectly.

I mean with just a few cents per hour to keep it up…me and my family was having a virtually non-stop supply of fresh water day in and day out.

That’s probably less than half you pay on your monthly utility bill.

All it had taken me was about 1 hour of my time, and about $270 in initial costs…

And my family was safe and independent.

I loved the fact that I was teaching my daughters such a great lesson about not being dependent on the government or any corporations…

And I felt so RELIEVED to know that they would always grow up in a warm, safe and comfortable home.

Well before long my friends and family members were begging to know my secret…

And when I showed them the simple, portable water generator I’d created…

A lot of them had a hard time believing something so small could be creating water-on-demand.

But after I’d given them the simple building instructions that I had come up with…

And they’d followed them, and created…

Their own “endless water supply” in about the time it takes to assemble an IKEA chair…

They became believers FAST.

And the results were the same over and over: An ABUNDANCE of clean, fresh water for their family…

They loved knowing they would never have to rely on ANYONE OR ANYTHING for their #1 need in life, even if a disaster turned the outside world upside down…

Soon my friends were telling their friends about my little miniature “home oasis”…

Until finally the number of phone calls and emails from people asking me to share the blueprints with them became so overwhelming…

My wife put her foot down and told me that I HAD to find a better way to share this lifesaving knowledge with the world.

So, I went to work writing out the blueprints, the materials list and a follow-along guide showing the construction process in simple steps…

And that’s how the Water Freedom System was born.

It’s the only proven, EXCLUSIVE step-by-step guide showing you EXACTLY how to create your own “home oasis” TODAY…and how to survive any tough century long drought…

As you already know, this system was specifically created so that ANYONE with one hand can do it – As long as you understand how to turn a screwdriver, play a video, and can somewhat speak English…you can set up this system no problem.

In fact…

You’ll be shocked by how few steps there actually are…

And how short the list of materials you need to build this is.

You’ll see exactly what those steps are, along with a full materials list that will help you build the system from start to finish.

Even though it wasn’t cheap for me to conceive this system – (I put a lot of time, money and effort into it) – I think it’s EXTREMELY VALUABLE…

We wrote and recorded these easy step-by-step, take you by the hand instructions so you can provide clean, fresh water for your family no matter the scenario…and you can download the files to your computer, tablet, or smartphone…

Just LOOK at what you’ll receive today inside the “Water Freedom System”:

• How this simple method that can pull moisture out of thin air, filter it and turn it into an unlimited supply of pure drinking water with the press of a button. And you’ll discover just how incredibly easy it is to put it together for less than $270 in total costs and in under one hour of your time.
• Not only will you have an automated supply of the freshest, cleanest water you’ve ever tasted for pennies on the dollar…yet this will become “Liquid Gold” in the middle of any disaster situation…
• What’s more… because the “Water Freedom System” is very light and portable, it makes for one of the best “emergency” water sources you could ever hope for.
• Enjoy the sense of security that comes with having gallons of purified water on-demand…even in an emergency…And forget about the worry of storage space.
• And best of all, it generates FREE water day in and day out – so you can slash your water bill by 30%…60%…even 90% and save thousands each year.

That’s just a glimpse of what the “Water Freedom System” will do for you…

To date, more than 11,000 families have used this exact same system to permanently ditch their water suppliers…

So with all of that being said, I want you to pause and think about this for a second…

How good will it feel to never have to worry every time you pour yourself a glass of water?

To never have to feel the stress of not knowing what hidden chemicals you and your family drink, bath or cook with…

To never care about how much you spend on water…no matter how much the prices go through the roof…

And knowing you’ll never have to send a single dime to companies that could care less about your family’s safety.

How happy are you going to be when you join the ranks of the 11,000 other freedom fighters who have already decided that they are FED UP with being dependent on others for the safety of their families.

In just 1 hour from now, you can have the only endless water supply you’ll ever need and the power to survive and thrive through any disaster.

And you’ll save hundreds of dollars each month…and thousands each year…

This is my promise to you: if you use the over-the-shoulder guides, the step-by-step blueprints, the illustrated instructions, and the materials cheat-sheet I’m giving you…

You will create a device that will deliver an abundance of clean fresh water no matter if you live in the desert or any dry zone.

And given all of that…

How much is it worth to you to literally have an unlimited water supply for your family?

Well first of all, let me just be clear about it, there is no system like this available anywhere in the world.

The “Water Freedom System” is the sum of considerable expertise in this field…and the contribution of a brilliant engineer.

And beyond all the technical innovations that have gone into making this simple and easy to use system…

You also need to understand that this is about more than just water…

It’s about keeping your family safe.

The reason I am so passionate about getting the “Water Freedom System” into your hands is that I NEVER want you to go through what I went through…

I want to give you the opportunity today to make sure that your home is filled with warmth and love…

Especially when you can do it all without ever having to send another dime to the same corporations who are getting rich off your family’s financial struggles.

Ultimately, this is about taking action TODAY…

So I’m not going to ask you to invest $1000 for this secret even though I know it’s worth at least that.

It won’t cost you $500, either…(that’s the amount you’d probably spend on a fancy water generator at the greedy retailers)

I want to let as many people as possible in and help them break free from the ropes and chains of the government and corporations.

That’s why… if you act right now and only on this page, I’ll let you have “Water Freedom System”, including the manual, the schematics, the parts list and all the step-by-step guides…

Over the past year over 11000 people have already successfully used the Water freedom system the same technique to get over tragic milestones such as hurricanes, snow storms or floods.

Based on technology that’s already in use by the military from countries including Israel, India, the U.K. and the U.S., not only can it give up to 60 gallons of water per day to last through the centuries long drought NASA is predicting it’s right around the corner, but…

It can reduce your utility bills all year long…

People who live here know that water shortages due to droughts in the area are somewhat of an issue and we have been fighting them for years…

The fierce winter storm that left more than 4.5 million homes and businesses in Texas without power for days in February can teach all of us an important lesson – it could happen to us. Are you prepared for an extended electrical power outage?

Here is a beginning list of 15 blackout supplies to get before the next power outage.

1. Non-perishable Food

An unopened refrigerator can maintain its proper temperature for at least four hours, but what next? You’ll need to rely on your supply of non-perishable foods.

Here are some items to keep on hand in your pantry for emergencies.

• Crackers
• Trail mix
• Canned tuna and salmon
• Canned soup
• Dried fruit
• Shelf-stable cartons of milk or plant-based milk substitutes
• Canned fruit juice

Not every can has an easy-open lid. Don’t forget to have a manual can opener in your kitchen to open those cans safely. 

2. Water

Depending on the type of emergency, most municipal water supplies will keep flowing. However, as we saw in Texas, frozen and broken water lines can cause low water pressure and affect water quality. Also, if you have a well, your pump won’t work without electricity.

Prepare for a blackout by storing a two-week supply of water. The general rule of thumb is one gallon of water per person each day, but that does not include water for cooking, washing, or giving your animals a drink.

Another option is to buy water purification tablets or a water filtering system.

3. First Aid

The same conditions that cause a blackout can cause injuries. Stock up on first aid supplies and make sure you have an adequate supply of any prescription medicines your family takes. Here’s an emergency first aid kit from Surviveware.

4. Hygiene

In order to conserve your water supply, it’s a good idea to stock up on baby wipes, sanitizing wipes, and hand sanitizer to keep germs at bay during a blackout.

5. Flashlights

Make sure you have plenty of working flashlights and backup batteries for them. You’ll want enough for each member of your household to have one. You may want one for each room of your house as well.

6. Candles

In addition to flashlights, you’ll want a supply of unscented candles for room lighting. Make sure you don’t let them burn unattended.

7. Cookstove

If you have a fireplace or a woodstove, you can use it for cooking, and some gas stoves can be lit even if the power is out. However, you may want to buy a camping stove like this two-burner one so that you can cook outside.

You’ll need fuel to operate the stove as well. Another option is to invest in a large butane gas grill like this one.

8. Heat

Once again, a fireplace or a wood-burning stove will be a real lifesaver for warmth during a power outage. If you rely on electricity for heat, though, you’ll need to consider other options. Make sure that any heating device you choose is rated for indoor use.

9. Carbon Monoxide Detector

There were a few horror stories of Texans who succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning during the recent blackout. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, tasteless, and deadly gas.

10. Matches and a Lighter

Whether it’s for the logs in your fireplace or the candles on your table, you’ll need a supply of matches and a couple of lighters.

11. Battery-operated Radio

You’ll be able to stay up with the weather and the news about the power outage with a battery-operated or hand-cranked radio. 

12. Sleeping Bags and Blankets

You may need to group together in one room to stay warm or cool, so it’s a good idea to have some clean and ready-to-use sleeping bags on hand. Extra blankets and foam pads for the floor also come in handy.

13. Phone Chargers

You’ll want to conserve your phone battery power as much a possible, but you can use your car to charge it when needed. However, you’ll need a car phone charger to do that.

14. Gasoline

Gas stations may be closed during a blackout, so try to keep your vehicles’ tanks at least half full, and if you can, store a full gas can in a shed or outbuilding.

15. Generator

If your budget permits, you may want to look into the purchase of a generator. There are many sizes and styles to choose from, ranging from whole house backup generators to ones that run small appliances and electronics.

This website has a calculator to help you choose the right size. According to Consumer Reports, you’ll need about 5,000 watts to cover a typical home’s basic electrical needs.

If you just want to keep a few things going, a portable generator may be the answer. These smaller machines usually operate on propane or gasoline and cost much less than larger standby generators. They are not safe to use in enclosed spaces, and you should run them away from windows as well.

Newer to the market are portable power stations. These generators are battery-powered and are safe to use indoors. Some have . This model is easy to carry and can power your phone and laptop during a blackout.

Bonus: Boredom Busters

Many of us are so reliant on electronics for our entertainment these days that we may suffer from boredom during a blackout even if our other needs are met. Keep a stash of puzzles, board games, and books on hand that are suitable for all ages in your family.

Our nation has an aging power grid, and extreme weather conditions are only making the threat of power outages worse. Here are some other tips from ready.gov to help you survive the next blackout.

• Do not use a gas oven or stove to heat your home.
• Unplug appliances and electronics to avoid damage from surges when power returns.
• When it comes to unrefrigerated food, “when in doubt, throw it out.”
• If the outage lasts for more than 24 hours, throw away any medication that requires refrigeration.

What would you say is the number one threat to lead to an end-of-the-world-like scenario? A terrorist attack? An EMP strike? A natural disaster? An economic collapse?

All of these are possibilities, but in each one, a thick population density will make it far worse. There’s no denying that people panic when a crisis occurs, and that panic is only multiplied when more people are living closely to one another.

More people will be killed in a shorter period of time in the major cities, the roads will be clogged as people and families try to escape, and furthermore, just look at the other threats that we listed first. Many of them are directly connected to population density.

If an economic collapse were to occur, then urbanized cities would be simply unable to rebuild their economies as fast as more rural areas (with coal mining, logging, farmer’s markets, etc.) could.

(Here are 23 survival uses for honey that you didn’t know about.)

There are other factors that make certain areas in America unsafe and unsuitable for outlasting an apocalypse:

• Strong natural disaster risks
• A weak economy
• High crime rates
• Strict gun laws
• A high cost of living
• High taxes
• Heavy traffic
• Unfertile land for growing crops
• Close proximity to nuclear/chemical power plants
• Low populations of wild game and edible plants
• Limited fresh water

In this story, we’re going to list out the five very worst retreat areas in the United States. These are the areas where you will definitely not want to be when disaster strikes, and if you live in or near any of these areas now, you may want to consider moving or have an alternate plan:

1. East Coast

Many survival and disaster experts agree that the East and West Coasts together are among the worst locations to survive a long-term disaster in the United States. This is because both meet the “unsafe factors” we just outlined. High population density? Check. High cost of living? Check.  Strict Gun Laws? For the Northeastern states, check. High crime rate? In many cities, yes. High taxes and regulations? In the Northeastern states yes. Heavy traffic? Check. Threat of natural disaster, namely hurricanes? Check. Low populations of wild game and edible plants? Check. Potential enemy nuclear targets? For the major cities, definitely.

As a general rule of thumb, avoid anywhere along the East Coast if you can. It’s simply not a safe place if you want to survive a disaster. If you do live on or near the East Coast, fall back to retreat areas in the Appalachian Mountains or northern New England, like New Hampshire or Maine, when worst comes to worst.

2. West Coast

Many of our concerns expressed with the East Coast apply to the West Coast as well. The largest state along the West Coast, California, is already an economic disaster and thus not somewhere you would want to be in an economic collapse. Washington and Oregon are both, by far, better off economic-wise, but they still have their problems with high taxes, tough regulations and large government spending. The major cities of San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle have extremely high population densities and are potential terrorist/nuclear targets.

In addition, the West Coast lies along the Ring of Fire, which adds earthquakes to the list of natural disaster risks to worry about. If you don’t think earthquakes are that big of a deal, well, just look at what happened to Japan in 2011. Plus, in Washington, you have volcanoes. All in all, both the East and West Coasts are dangerous hotspots in an apocalyptic-type scenario and are not recommended.

3. Florida

Florida, in general, is not somewhere you will want to be during a disaster. Not to mention the ever looming threat of hurricanes in the state, Florida also endures a high crime rate, a collapsed housing market and high costs of living, a very dense population, and the fact that much of the state is actually below sea level (the parts of the state that are higher aren’t above it by much).

There’s no denying that Florida has nice weather, which is why many people move there in the first place, but its negatives far outweigh its positives to the point that it’s one of the worst retreat locations you could be in for outlasting a long-term disaster.

4. Alaska

Woah, woah, wait, Alaska? The so-called “last frontier” in America is one of the worst places to survive an apocalypse? First of all, Alaska does have a few positives (not to mention the beauty of its geography) that would make it an initially attractive place to live for someone who wants to be in a safe region from a major disaster. It is true that Alaska has the lowest population density of all 50 states, along with low tax rates. It also has a great abundance of rivers, lakes, wildlife and edible plants.

But when we come to economics, Alaska is practically cut off from the rest of the United States. A lot of the supplies that Alaskans rely on are either flown or shipped into the state. In a disaster scenario, these planes and ships will likely no longer be making shipments, greatly limiting available resources. Furthermore, those who live more inland in Alaska will be extremely limited in what they can do with commerce.

Remember when we noted that the West Coast of the USA is prone to earthquakes due to being situated along the Ring of Fire? Well, so is Alaska. There’s also very limited transportation to get oil from the North Slope to where it needs to go, and much of the fuel that Alaskans use is already brought in from the Lower 48 states. The winters in Alaska can also be quite cold and brutal.

Alaska may seem like the prepper’s haven, but on closer inspection it becomes apparent that you’re going to have a much tougher time surviving there than you would think. This is one place you may want to avoid, unless you know how to live 100 percent off the grid.

5. Hawaii

Like Florida, Hawaii may be a great place to vacation, but it’s an utterly terrible location to be in during an apocalyptic scenario. Most of Hawaii’s resources, as with Alaska, are shipped in.  This includes food and fuel. That’s on top of a very high cost of living in the state coupled with generally poor farming soil.

Gun laws are very strict in the state, and there are many military bases on the islands that could be the targets of enemy attacks. Let’s also not forget one more thing: Should a big enough natural disaster ever happen to Hawaii, how will you escape? After all, it’s a series of islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Unless you have access to a plane or a ship, you may be toast.

Every region in the US certainly has its pros and cons, but these are the areas where the cons outweigh the positives the most.
