The effect of chemtrails is to kill off microorganisms in people and the plants and animals they eat. Since much of the chemtrails are made up of salts of barium and aluminum, they are probably going for more Alzheimer's in people. They don't care.

As long as people come to them for help from whatever ailments, they will keep on producing more and more ailments in people, one way or another.

this makes me realize of how impactful would be if a third party appeared out of nowhere in the United States and seized power through democratic means over the presidency and both of the chambers in the capitol. It would be something like the end of a long standing era, it is something which has been witnessed here in my country, we had a strong bi-party system which acted on the same interests, until that came to an end after 30 years.

It is very unlikely to happen in USA though, for the reasons we all can assume.

Notably I would agree that the American electoral system is in a best description to be called "democratic " hence it tends to hold core value on what is democratically documented than mere individual ambition.
So the emergence of a new party for into the American democratic system may take forever ever to come unless such political party has a clear cut idea which differ from that which the already existing two has offered in time past.

But it is a democratic process only in the direction of the formal government. Here's what I mean.

An elected President may sign executive orders, and give orders to the people. But the people don't have to obey them except if they are part of government or the military. Average Americans don't have to obey.

However, many Americans think that they do, and will obey even when they don't have to. That's what happened with the Covid vaxx. It was the peoples' voluntary obedience in many cases, even though they didn't want to, and even though they were not required to, that caused them to get this vaxx.

The Republic of the USA includes within it the democratic US government.

We could focus on Trump, and the relatively little amount of law breaking he might be doing in his big business operations. But shouldn't we be focusing on the big law breaking?

Yes.  Like stealing nuclear secrets and military plans and then trying to hide them from the government and lying about it.  Or trying to overthrow the government by organizing a violent insurrection and fraudulent electoral votes so he could stay in power after losing the 2020 election by 74 electoral votes and 7 million votes (LANDSLIDE), or the collusion with Russia during the 2016 campaign, or withholding aid to Ukraine that was approved by congress to use as leverage to get Ukraine to make up a sham investigation into the presidents political opponents son, or all the rape and sexual assault allegations.

If Hunter Biden were president, or even if he had an office in the White House, all the attention on him would be justified.  

Like all those things - that you list - that Trump didn't do or didn't do illegally, and certainly didn't do with any ill effects on the country. But all those same things, and way more in addition, that Biden is doing WITH ill effects on the country.

The question is, is Biden President? Are a bunch of his people in office really in office, including the Vice President and the AG really in office?

To be in office, one has to take the Oath of Office. We saw Biden and Harris and maybe others take their Oath. But doesn't the law also say that the Oath taker has to sign an affidavit of Oath of Office, and have it on file, available for everyone to see who wants to see it? And doesn't this Affidavit have to be done within 30 days of the swearing in, or the person taking office is no longer officially in office?

They can't find Biden's Affidavit, or the Affidavit of the others on his team.

This is actually a winnable class action suit and demonstrates criminal intent.  The science is now catching up fully and clarifying the indefensible nature of the actions taken to actually maximise the death rate in order to stampede the population into taking the JAB.

proof of criminal intent allows all supporting legistlation to be actually set aside and it will all revert to common law.

I do suspect that the perps all planned on having 4,000,000,000 drop dead making it impossible for hot pursuit.  The JAB did include apparent KILL agents for the short term and we do have evidence of an increased death rate not obviously abating yet.

I do suspect that the primary KILL agent was meant to be a modified AIDS.  I hope this was actually diverted.  The modified form may well be impossible to treat.

I have no such evidence, and this is pure speculation based on the perps actual intent.

In 2004, the US Congress passed an amendment to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act known as Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). This piece of legislature legalized an anti-regulatory pathway to allow experimental medical interventions to be expedited without proper safety evaluation in the event of bioterrorist threats and national health emergencies such as pandemics. At the time, passage of the EUA amendment made sense because it was partially in response to the 2001 anthrax attacks and the US's entry into an age of international terrorism. However, the amendment raises some serious considerations. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, EUAs had only been authorized on four occasions: the 2005 avian H5N1 and 2009 H1N1 swine flu, the 2014 Ebola and the 2016 Zikra viruses. Each of these pathogen scares proved to be false alarms that posed no threat of any pandemic proportions to Americans. The fifth time EUAs were invoked was in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, which seemed far more plausible than previous EUAs.

this is actually a great chart. The long one is geologic and it makes the argument just as absurd, but this captures a couple of centuries of human measurement and it is still absurd.

by the way, that CO2 chart is almost a straight line showing a nice bit of cycling.  the only way it might have been produced is from ice cores and that may simply be a measure of outgassing.

It makes sense that CO2 rose and the globe became developed and burned coal and oil particularly during the post war period.  Not so much before all that and trend line has to be suspect.

Yet after saying all that we are a still a long way actual proof of anything.  Geologically, all that carbon came from somewhere in order to be converted into biological carbon.  Think about that when you worry about all that coal and oil and Natural gas.

I see a "new movement" emerging in the US. (edit: and in the rest of the western world). I observe it from a distance what happens in the US since I am European, but I try to stay updated on what's happening in the US because it often has an impact here as well.

I see a wave of people breaking away from mainstream media and realizing that Republicans and Democrats aren't as different as they may seem. These individuals may not receive much attention in the media, but outside of it, they garner more public attention than any "late-night show" on networks like CNN, FOX, or (ugh) CSNBC.

People breaking from the mainstream system will never get to the core of it until they understand the banking thievery.

What should be happening in banking is that, whenever a bank issues a loan, the bank should get paid their several-hundred dollar fee, as they do right now.

The banks should issue the cash/bank-check to the borrower, and accept his promissory note as full payment for the loan. However, the borrower should pay back the so-called loan over the years, which money should be held in trust for the borrower, by the bank. At the end of the loan term, the money should be given back to the borrower, in full, including the interest. The bank has earned by investing the borrower's money, little by little, over the term of the loan repayment.

As it is right now, the bank gets the money twice:
1. Once when they get the promissory note, which they use as money. It goes to the big bank owners, the elite of the world;
2. Second, when they get the repayment of the loan over the years, by the so-called borrower.

It works this way with both, the USD/Federal-Reserve-Bank, and the Euro and their controlling banks, probably in Germany.

Until we stop giving money like this to the elite of the world, there will always be problems that they create for us... including their controlling of the mainstream media.

But here is why it is good. It allows society to go on in bountifulness, all the while stealing from the people in ways that seem to barely hurt the people... barely hurt the people until something like the Ukraine war (which the big banking owners are supporting) comes along, and inflation flies to the skies because of it.

Hunter Biden made money in Ukraine from 2013 to 2018.  He joined the board of Burisma in 2014.

Mykola Lisin died in a car crash in 2011.  

There's also still literally no evidence that Joe Biden was in any way involved in his sons firm.  None.  

"But he bragged about getting that prosecutor fired": He insisted a corrupt prosecutor be fired.  As did Obama, and Merkle, and May, and the rest of the NATO leaders who wanted to support Ukraine but didn't want a Putin Puppet to divert the resources.  

"But an email from Hunters laptop mentioned a 'Big Guy' and those messages where Hunter said his father was sitting next to him": The trump appointed investigator said himself that Hunter used his fathers name despite his father not being involved.



All across America and the world, there are laws made by those who are in power and in government. There are also the simple laws of nature that really suggest love for other people, as well as love for God. How many times are laws broken that nobody ever hears about?... except for the law breaker? And often the law breaker doesn't even know he broke a law, himself.

The point is that circumstantial evidence is used all over the place, both in court, and in personal evidence in life. So, where should we focus?

We could focus on Trump, and the relatively little amount of law breaking he might be doing in his big business operations. But shouldn't we be focusing on the big law breaking?

April 2023, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia suddenly banned Ukraine grain imports into their countries.   The EU Commission threatened the countries for overstepping their EU authority on trade.   A deal was made that the imports throughout the eastern bloc would simply be transit lines and not destinations.  "It is also a success for other countries effected by the situation in the grain market and, I think, a success for the European Union."

Riches doesn't select religion, every religion in the world has rich and poor people. those that are rich are those practicing the nature law of wealth creation.

be you Christ lie, and you don't have any services you're offering to the world you be poor and still be performing miracles. our lord Jesus never supported lazy Christian, he said he will bless the work of our hands. as Christian we must be rich if only we work and allow God to favour us in our works.
I don't know why some people thinks being rich  is not good for christians. I am not a Christian but I know The Bible and i know the story of the old Christians like Abraham, Isaac ,Jacob,  Joseph, and David ,even Solomon . all this men were very wealthy during their days , I don't know why some of the people we have in this generation are seeing wealth as something that has nothing to do with Christianity.  Riches is part of God's blessing and we can only get this things when we work for them in life but sitting down and waiting for God to bring all this things may not be possible.

Matthew 19:23-26:
23Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

25When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

26Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
So, why tempt things by trying to get rich?

The saying of Agur in Proverbs, Proverbs 30:7-9:
7“Two things I ask of you, Lord;
do not refuse me before I die:
8Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.
9Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’
Or I may become poor and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.

The point is, ask for wealth, and work to get it, but remain within God's will and faith at the same time.

After the Pentecost, the new Christian Church people gave their wealth to the Apostles. When the wealth and the management of it grew large, the Apostles turned it all over in trust to the Seven. The Apostles continued in prayer and the ministry of the Word. They understood where true riches lie.

At the same time, God doesn't want you living in poverty. Saint Paul says in 1 Corinthians 7:21:
Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so.

It's a balance thing, with the idea of keeping your eyes on true wealth; Matthew 6:20:
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

World Rushing Into BRICS | Andy Schectman

25 countries have formally applied to join BRICS, says Andy Schectman, CEO & president of Miles Franklin. The BRICS nations are meeting in August and are likely to discuss a new reserve currency. Central banks are accumulating gold at a record rate, and investors are taking massive deliveries of physical metal from the LBMA and COMEX. "This is the volatility before the storm," he says.

Cool

Let us see what happens then if the actually openly declare war on the status quo of the Euro and the USD on the planet.
Even if they actually planned to meet and set the roadmap towards a new common currency, it would be just the first step onto a long road, before getting actual results.

Would not been counter productive to China, by the way, since they are trying to further increase the use of their centralized CBDC? They would not dish their own digital currency so easily for a new standard. In my opinion.


The long road started to be paved way back when the US disregarded its part in the Minsk Agreement of 1991, and started increasing NATO States in Europe. This, along with all the 'police actions' the US and Nato have done around the world since, have only served to strengthen the solidity of and on that road.

BRICS actually started way back in the 1990s, but the name was only added starting in 2001. So, the long road has been being paved for a long time, and is being extended in many ways.

It isn't BRICS or the nations thereof that have declared war on the EURO and the USD. Rather, it is the US and Nato that have declared war through the sanctions, and indirectly, through their Nato expansion around Russia.

In BRICS as I understand it, the various nations in the Agreement use whatever currency best suits the situation. They all want to be Top Dog, but they have willingly set their differences aside to expand past the controls the US is trying to maintain with the USD. It's just a bunch of nations trying to get ahead in the world.


All the international airlines of the world, and the airports, speak English as their language for flying. All personnel need to learn English to fly planes or work in airports no matter the country. In fact, most of the flying inside of all the major nations is done in English even if it isn't international. Perhaps the US can pull some strings in this arena that will keep financial freedom in the world from happening.

Bitcoin became a THING in just 10 years. It might not take BRICS very long to agree on a currency when their hand is forced. In fact, they might have it settled already, even if they haven't brought it into the public. If the US allowed them freedom in their usage of the USD, etc., they might never consider anything other than USD.

Consider, again, the airline point. It would be very difficult for the international airline system to convert to a different language or process, and still do international flying between all the BRICS nations and those who are about to join them. So, this might be the area the US should focus on to maintain their 'slave nations' as slave nations.

There has been no information that France has an intention to join BRICS. But the French President wants to be the first Western leader to be invited to the BRICS summit. France supported sanctions against Russia but Kremlin is not the only country in this economic alliance. Other top BRICS nations are friendly with France, so they might want the country to be invited. Russia have strongly opposed giving the invitation but it will not be bad to hear what Emmanuel Macron has to say. He can be allowed to join some meetings while the main meetings will be solely attended by the main BRICS nations.

See PM Modi address U.S. congress, his second time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcDhvR3oeiE

Modi is a nationalist, and you will recall there being some tension between the Biden administration and Modi after India began buying cheap Russian oil. Socially, India is conservative and they've had historical conflicts with Muslims; naturally, "squad" members AOC, Rashida Talib, and Ilhan Omar boycott the speech over Modi's alleged religious oppression.

India seems like the odd one out in BRICS, allied with the U.S. but in close partnership with Russia and China.

India places national interest topmost in its foreign policy. The country has politically and economically positioned itself as a non-alliance nation. The Indian market and industry are growing to become dominant like the Chinese market. Both Russia and the US know that partnering with India is important and strategic so they are willing to endure and tolerate the excesses of India. India is benefitting from Russia and the US and none of these nations is willing to cut ties with India because of its double standards. If it were another country that is dining freely with Putin, the US, and it allies would have devised ways to punish such nation. But India has grown to be above the influence of the leaders of the two blocs

So, look to Him in everything, both for the wisdom and knowledge, and also for the strength to do what you can't do alone... which essentially is anything, because you use the physics of God's universe (including Jesus-power) to do everything you do.

Yes, India is one of the founding countries in BRICS. But this makes for an interesting country, government-wise.

India has a government that is based in two things, common law (from the years of British rule) and religious law that is based in the peoples' religions and customs.

Any of the people of India could use a jury in a court trial, like Britain and the US. But they might be ousted from family and local community by their customary/religious law for doing it. More than likely this kind of government doesn't fit in with the other countries of BRICS. It would more closely fit with American law.

So, whatever BRICS is doing, it seems to be uniting all kinds of people of all kinds of nations. Yet it represents freedom in this unity. It seems that free-America and free-Britain are against financial freedom among nations that they can't 'formally' control. They show it by the sanctions against Russia, and simply by never thinking of joining BRICS.

What a strange world. The most freedom-talking countries (US and UK) don't want to allow other countries of the world to have freedom.
