Why is Bill Gates allowed to use his foundation to help the rich, not the poor?  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  SUBSCRIBE | DONATE | VIEW ON WEB COVID-19 Fear Factory   COVID-19 is real, but the panic narrative that has been woven around it is entirely manufactured. For our health—and for our sanity—it’s important to get to grips with the misleading math, the shoddy statistics and the questionable science that is driving public policy around lockdowns and restrictions of movement and fueling an epidemic of fear. Now more than ever it’s important that everyone understands the trickster language that has sprung up around COVID-19 and the urgent need to stop conflating “cases” with active infections and “dying from” with “dying with.” The panic politics of COVID-19 is a threat to our basic civil liberties—and the worst part of it all is that it isn’t working. It’s distracting us and keeping us from implementing the kind of “focused protection” of the most vulnerable—the very elderly and those with serious pre-existing chronic illness—that will help bring the spread of COVID-19 under real control. Every week the number of independent scientists, investigators and now lawyers willing to speak out against the “official story” of where SARS-CoV-2 came from and what we need to do about it grows. Together we can shut down this fear factory.

Ask the scientists, lawyers and policy experts you know to sign our international Open Letter: 'Why We Need a Global Moratorium on the Creation of Potential Pandemic Pathogens (PPPs) Through Gain-of-Function Experiments'   WEBINAR Bioweapon Watch   Tune in on Thursday, October 22 at 3:30pm CDT, as Ronnie Cummins, co-founder of the Organic Consumers Association and Regeneration International will be taking a deep dive into the origins of COVID-19 and its links to biological weapons with expert Dr. Meryl Nass, MD. As a biological warfare epidemiologist, Nass investigated the world’s largest anthrax outbreak, in Zimbabwe, involving thousands of cattle and 10,738 human cases with 182 fatalities. She was first to study this event, demonstrating that was a probable act of biological warfare, in 1992. Through this investigation, Dr. Nass developed a model for analyzing epidemics to assess whether they are natural or man-made. The Facebook Live will touch on the ongoing pandemic and the growing controversy over whether the SARs-CoV-2 virus arose out of gain-of-function experiments that escaped from a biodefense/biomedical lab in Wuhan, China.

For Profit?   We have laws in this country to prevent foundations from using charity for personal gain. So why does our Congress allow Bill Gates to think–and behave–as if he is above the law? As revealed by investigative journalist Tim Schwab in his recent articles “Bill Gates Gives to the Rich (Including Himself)” and “While the Poor Get Sick, Bill Gates Just Gets Richer,” Gates has pioneered “a new model of charity in which the most direct beneficiaries are sometimes not the world’s poor but the world’s wealthiest, in which the goal is not to help the needy but to help the rich help the needy.” Gates has used the power of his more than $100 billion fortune to become a global dictator, manipulating Congress, the United Nations, the World Health Organization and the media to shape agriculture and public health policy in ways that impact us all. This has got to stop! The law must be changed to stop the Internal Revenue Service from allowing charitable donations to for-profit companies. Under the tax code, foundations that use charity for personal gain lose their tax-exempt status. What we need now is for the government to enforce the law.

The debate on the fluoridation of drinking water—one of the most polarized, long-running, and high-decibel controversies in public health—has been reignited. Last week, the U.S. National Toxicology Program released a systematic review of all published studies evaluating the potential neurotoxicity of fluoride. Its conclusion was that “fluoride is presumed to be a cognitive developmental hazard to humans.” Right now around 75% of Americans on community water systems have fluoride in their tap water. Water is the main route of fluoride exposure for these people. Given the weight of evidence that fluoride is toxic to the developing brain, it’s time for health organizations and regulatory bodies to review their recommendations and regulations to ensure they protect children and pregnant women now. READ 'Fluoride Is Toxic to Developing Brains, New Studies Find'   VIDEO OF THE WEEK Class Action   Controversy around the accuracy–or lack of it–of the PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test for COVID-19 is increasing. Earlier this month an international team of class-action lawyers, led by Dr. Reiner Füllmich, announced their intention to file massive lawsuits against a number of governments for utilizing imprecise PCR molecular, antigen and antibody tests to diagnose COVID-19 cases. These faulty tests, which generate huge profits for Big Pharma, vaccine and testing companies, are being used to justify lockdowns and suspensions of basic civil liberties, resulting in massive damage to public health, businesses and citizens. Füllmich’s video statement is long but it’s well worth watching for its devastating takedown of the effects of using a faulty test as the sole basis for defining the extent of the pandemic and justifying damaging global lockdowns.

With COVID-19 continuing to dominate our lives and a stressful election on our doorstep, it’s hard to imagine there was ever a time when we felt “normal.” The pandemic has challenged every fabric of modern society. It has also exposed some vulnerabilities in our society, and especially in our food system. The old normal may feel familiar and comfortable but it’s not working. It’s built on a foundation of corporate control, toxic agribusinesses, corrupt power hierarchies, “food” that barely qualifies as food, poisoned environments and the loss of biodiversity. Political powers and economic powers have already begun to co-opt the "we need to change" message to further their own ends. They seek to redefine "nature" and "agriculture" to suit a corporate vision that promotes greater industrialization, artificial intelligence and Big Data and puts technologies like genetic modification at the heart of “new green deals” and calls it sustainable. Haven’t we all had enough of that? For us, it has also brought clarity and a renewed sense of purpose. We are redoubling our efforts to build a new and better normal for everyone.
