U.N. has ‘plan of action’ to curtail free speech in every nation of the world    LEO HOHMANN

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says the quiet part out loud: All speech contrary to established narratives must be reined in.

JUN 23, 2024 – Don’t look now but your First Amendment rights are up for negotiation at the United Nations, just as they are at the World Economic Forum and other globalist organizations that are aligned with the burgeoning one-world system.

On June 18, in recognition of International Day for Countering Hate Speech – yes, they actually have a day for that – the United Nations Secretary-General called for the eradication of “hate speech” around the world.

While that may sound nice in today’s world, where it tickles the ears of the naive Western liberals, keep in mind that “hate speech” is in the eye of the beholder.

This U.N. statement should be seen as a harbinger, a clear signal, that the U.N. and its many globalist allies are getting ready to clamp down even harder on what we the people are allowed to say or write online. The intent of the globalists is to criminalize all speech with which they disagree.

In a prepared speech published on June 17, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres had a lot to say about why the nations of the world need to regulate speech even more tightly than they already do. He said:

“Hate speech is a marker of discrimination, abuse, violence, conflict and even crimes against humanity.  We have seen this play out from Nazi Germany to Rwanda, Bosnia and beyond.  There is no acceptable level of hate speech; we must all work to eradicate it completely.”

He added that:

“Hate speech today targets a broad range of groups, often based on grounds of race, ethnicity, religion, belief or political affiliation. Recent months have seen an upsurge in both antisemitic and anti-Muslim hate speech online and in public comments by influential leaders. Hate speech may be used against women, refugees, migrants, gender-diverse and trans people, and minorities. It is massively amplified by the power of digital platforms and tools that enable it to spread across borders and cultures.”

And here’s the kicker. He noted:

“States have an obligation under international law to prevent and combat incitement to hatred and to promote diversity, mutual understanding and solidarity. They must step up and implement these commitments, while ensuring that the measures they take preserve freedom of speech and protect minorities and other communities.”

Hundreds Of Thousands Of Americans Are Going “Off Grid” In Anticipation Of What Is Coming      by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,

As our society descends into chaos, vast numbers of people are choosing to pull the plug and walk away.  Of course it is nearly impossible to completely escape the ubiquitous madness that is seemingly all around us, but many are finding that an “off grid” lifestyle gives them the best opportunity to insulate themselves as much as possible.  When you become less dependent on the system, what happens to the system has less of an impact on you.  Unfortunately, it appears that our system is heading into a full-blown meltdown, and a significant portion of the population is feverishly making preparations in anticipation of what is coming.

According to Reuters, it has been estimated that there are now approximately 20 million “preppers” in the United States…

Brook Morgan surveyed booths at the “Survival & Prepper Show” in Colorado that were stocked with boxes of ammunition, mounds of trauma medical kits, and every type of knife imaginable.

A self-described “30-year-old lesbian from Indiana,” Morgan is one of a new breed of Americans getting ready to survive political upheaval and natural catastrophes, a pursuit that until recently was largely associated with far-right movements such as white nationalists since the 1980s.

Researchers say the number of preppers has doubled in size to about 20 million since 2017.

There is a subset of that group that has decided that the best way to prepare is to go “off grid”.

It is being reported that “more than 250,000 people in the U.S.” have chosen to adopt such a lifestyle…

As energy costs and home prices continue to rise, more Americans are choosing to live off-grid. According to one estimate, more than 250,000 people in the U.S. have an off-grid lifestyle. While the potential cost savings are certainly attractive, technology and interest in tiny homes, shipping container homes and other energy-efficient housing alternatives are allowing families interested in sustainable lifestyles to move to off-grid living.

If you are thinking of making a similar move, you need to do your research.

Most of us are extremely dependent on the grid, and many find that making a switch to a radically different lifestyle is quite challenging

Living off the grid means committing to sourcing everything you need to survive and thrive independently: food, shelter, energy and most importantly: water. It’s empowering, until the moment things don’t work. Like when you’re halfway through a delightful hot shower at the end of a January day and the water pump suddenly stops working, sending you into the frozen darkness with a wet headful of shampoo and some tools to address the problem.

For a lot of people, joining a community of others that have adopted an “off grid” lifestyle is very helpful.

For example, about 55 miles south of Salt Lake City hundreds of survivalists are living in a very large community that is completely off the grid

A community of society-shunning Americans launched a survivalist haven in the Utah desert after finding themselves alienated from the modern world.

Hundreds of people have set themselves up to live off the land under ‘Operation Self-Reliance,’ feeling that getting off-the-grid is the solution to a crumbling culture.

This particular community was originally founded by a 74-year-old man named Philip Gleason, and he is warning that “a variety of apocalyptic scenarios could play out in the coming years”

Gleason said he fears a variety of apocalyptic scenarios could play out in the coming years, from a power grid failure taking down America’s electricity, to nuclear war and cyber attacks.

‘This is just history repeating itself,’ he cautioned. ‘At the start of any cultural revolution, the people that control their food are the ones that come out on top.’

As Americans consistently share that they are losing faith in the nation’s institutions, those that have made a new life on Riverbed Ranch have essentially set up their own self-surviving nation state.

Of course it probably wasn’t a great idea for them to share what they are doing with such a large audience, because when things do get really bad large numbers of desperate people may start heading that direction.

Most of the time, families that choose to live an “off grid” lifestyle just do it on their own.

Heather Graesser and her husband once owned a large home near Denver, but now they are much happier living an “off grid” lifestyle

Ten years ago I was living a typical suburban life on the outskirts of Denver. My husband, Casey, and I were both teachers. We lived in a four-bedroom house with a small yard where our two kids liked to play.

Today our life looks radically different. We live entirely off the grid in a 300-square-foot home that we built from straw bales and cob, a natural building material made from soil, water, and other organic matter. We rely on solar power for electricity and rain collection for water, and we use a drop toilet to create “humanure” — compost made from human waste.

We’ve left the conventional world behind. But along the way we’ve created a much more luxurious and free lifestyle than the one we were living in suburbia.

Good for them.

These days, it is becoming increasingly difficult to live a “normal” middle class lifestyle because the cost of housing has become so painful.

In fact, an entirely new category known as “impossibly unaffordable” has been created because home prices have become so expensive in certain cities…

Anyone with half an eye on the housing market over the last two decades will know that in many countries, not least the United States, it’s become much more difficult to buy a home.

But a new report sums up the feeling of many potential home buyers by creating a category that labels some major cities as “impossibly unaffordable.”

The report compared average incomes with average home prices. It found that pandemic-driven demand for homes with outside space, land use policies aimed at limiting urban sprawl, and investors piling into markets had sent prices soaring.

Living “off grid” is often much cheaper than living a conventional lifestyle.

And living “off grid” will also give you a much better chance of shielding yourself from the endless violence that we see all around us.

Recently, I was deeply shocked to read about a 42-year-old man that fired 28 shots at women and children at a family splash pad in Rochester Hills, Michigan

An eight-year-old boy is fighting for his life after being shot in the head by a rampaging gunman at a family splash pad as seven others were also gunned down.

The violent attack took place in Rochester Hills, Michigan, around 5pm Saturday after the shooter fired 28 rounds from a handgun in a seemingly random attack, peppering women and children at the Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad outside Detroit.

The gunman fled the scene to a nearby home within half a mile of the splash pad, leading to a tense hours-long standoff that ended when the shooter – described as a 42-year-old white male who lived with his mother – died by suicide.

You would have to be completely and utterly evil to do something like that.

Sadly, our entire society is saturated with evil at this point.

So I can definitely understand why so many people just want to get away from it all.

Things are really bad now, but they are going to get a whole lot worse during the chaotic years that are in front of us.

Ultimately, I think that large numbers of people are going to regret not adopting an “off grid” lifestyle while they still had the opportunity to do so.

Our society is already in the process of collapsing all around us, and those that understand what is happening are getting prepared for what is coming.

US ‘support’ in case of war with Lebanon? What does that mean?   Dr. Aaron Lerner

Real US support means signing off on Lebanese civilian losses needed to destroy Hezbollah missilies.  Op-ed.

Jun 23, 2024, 4:20 PM (GMT+3) – “Senior US officials reassured a delegation of top Israeli officials visiting Washington this week that if a full-out war were to break out on Israel’s northern border between Israel and Hezbollah, the Biden administration is fully prepared to back its ally, according to a senior administration official.”

US offers assurances to Israel this week in the event of full-blown war with
Hezbollah   By MJ Lee, CNN Published 7:35 PM EDT, Fri June 21, 2024
Here is why real US support for Israel means signing off, publicly, and in
advance, on the civilian Lebanese losses required to destroy Hezbollah
missiles:
#1. The Hezbollah missiles, if and when launched, will cause catastrophic damage to Israel both in life and limb and in the destruction of critical life supporting infrastructure.
#2. The Hezbollah missiles are shielded by high profile civilian structures – hospitals, schools, orphanage, mosques and more.
#3. Even if Israel were to somehow send tens of thousands of crack special units to destroy the missiles in an operation on the ground, the destruction of the war heads could cause thousands of Lebanese civilian losses.
#4. Even if Israel possessed a Star Trek Star Ship, it would take an Israeli Scotty so much time to beam up each of Hezbollah’s missiles that Hezbollah would end up launching most of them once they realized what was happening.
So, Mr. Biden and your team, there isn’t even a fantasy work around to destroy the Hezbollah missiles without causing a lot of civilian Lebanese casualties.
So here are the options:
#1. The “For The Record Conditional Support Option”: Support Israel on condition that there aren’t “too many” Lebanese civilian losses, thus being on record as supporting Israel without actually supporting the Jewish State. We are down that road right now and it is lengthening the timeline of war in Gaza.
#2. The “Golda Option”: Tell Israel that the US will only support taking out the Hezbollah missiles after Hezbollah launches a devastating first strike against the Jewish State. We have been down that road too, and we lost 2600 IDF soldiers in 18 days.
#3. The “Lifesaving Option”: Openly state now that the United States of America recognizes the painful truth that unless Hezbollah immediately pulls the missiles out of civilian areas that Israel has the right to take out the missiles even at the cost of a large number of Lebanese civilian casualties.

This is a lifesaving option because many Lebanese civilians would, after the American announcement, successfully run for their lives.
Choosing life for the region requires being bold enough to cope with reality.
And those Hezbollah missiles shielded by high profile civilian structures – hospitals, schools, orphanage, mosques and more – are very real.

 

No Israelis in Brussels? Prepare to lose more than that   Giulio Meotti

The slippery slope is not a figure of speech, but it is terrifyingly reality when dealing with radical Muslims who hate, not just Israel, but all of Western culture. Op-ed.

Jun 23, 2024, 8:06 AM (GMT+3) – The football match between Belgium and Israel scheduled for September 6th in Brussels will not be possible. This was announced by the mayor of the Belgian and EU capital, Benoit Hellings, according to whom it would be “simply impossible” to guarantee public order and safety at the stadium and in the city.

“Hosting this match in our capital would provoke huge protests against it, compromising the safety of spectators, players, residents as well as the police force themselves,” Hellings said.

Poor mayor, it must be really complicated to manage a city conquered by Islam. And it couldn’t even do as in Malmö, which allowed Israeli Davis Cup tennis players to play, but without an audience. But that was in 2009, a century ago.

Indeed there are many things, beyond Israel, that we should no longer do for our own “security”. Publish cartoons? Exhibit statues of women in Sweden by an Iranian artist? Publishing “The Satanic Verses”? Show high school students a painting inspired by Ovid’s “Metamorphoses”? How far will we go, from blackmail to blackmail? The slippery slope is not a figure of speech, but it is terrifyingly reality when dealing with radical Muslims who hate, not just Israel, but all of Western culture.

And indeed there are many things you will no longer be able to do in your city once it has reached the Brussels stage of rot.

-You will no longer be able to organize a European conference of conservatives. The mayor will send the police like his private militia to barricade the doors.

-You will no longer be able to celebrate Christmas and Easter (let alone Hanukkah) at school.

-You will no longer be able to go around certain neighborhoods without a veil.

-You will no longer be able (if you are LGBT) to walk hand in hand in certain areas.

-You will no longer be able to read Dante in the original version, but sweetened to please Islamic migrants.

-You will no longer be able to talk in school about the Holocaust or Voltaire making fun of Turkish culture.

-You will no longer be able to organize tributes in museums to the massacred cartoonists.

-You will no longer be able to go to the biggest bookstore and order a book critical of multiculturalism.

-You will no longer be able to walk around wearing the kippah.

However, if you are Muslim, you will be able to do things that infidels are not allowed to do and that are not allowed even in your countries of origin.

You can go to the Parliament of the Infidels and recite the suras of the Koran.

You can get elected to that Parliament and then go and be a minister for a foreign state, Turkey, that wants to subjugate the first.

You will be able to set parts of the city on fire if your foreign football team loses.

You can throw rocks at the basilicas.

You can raid the stands of critics of Islam at the Book Fair.

You can organize mass demonstrations in favor of Hamas.

You can buy hundreds of churches to make mosques.

You can bribe and buy European Parliament officials.

You will be able to found a party that wants to establish sharia.

You can invite the mayor of Tehran.

This is what is happening in Brussels.

On the other hand, as the terrorist of the Paris attacks, Salah Abdeslam from Brussels, said in the chamber, “Islam will triumph”.

Because when you no longer know how to give yourself a single reason to exist as a civilization, you will always find many reasons to die.

 

CHAPTER 24: The Politics of Pronouns   by Linda Goudsmit
Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier—Reality Is (forthcoming release July 2024)
June 23, 2024 – Globalism is a replacement ideology that seeks to reorder the world into one singular, planetary Unistate, ruled by the globalist elite. The globalist war on nation-states cannot succeed without collapsing the United States of America. The long-term strategic attack plan moves America incrementally from constitutional republic to socialism to globalism to feudalism. The tactical attack plan uses asymmetric psychological and informational warfare to destabilize Americans and drive society out of objective reality into the madness of subjective reality. America’s children are the primary target of the globalist predators.

In an information war, fought without bullets or bombs, language is weaponized. The globalist campaign promoting gender fluidity in order to destroy individual selfness manipulates spoken and written language to achieve its goal. Perversion of pronoun usage in the English language has a particularly destructive political purpose. The enemies of national and individual sovereignty are revising language to reflect human existence without the boundaries of self. Words matter. The switch to third-person plural, gender-neutral language is a weapon of mass psychological destruction that begins in early childhood.

Consider this: young children who do not learn the first- and second-person individual and possessive pronouns I, me, mine, you, yours, he, him, his, she, her, hers do not learn to name or identify themselves or others as individual gendered selves. Without a personal, individual, gendered, identifiable self, children become confused, destabilized, and vulnerable.

Instead of singular pronouns, young children are intentionally being taught to use the third-person plural pronouns they, them, theirs, so that they identify themselves in terms of the non-gendered collective. It is linguistic demolition of the individual. Plural pronouns effectively erase the concept of an individual self from the English language, and support the replacement of the individual with the preferred non-gendered collective identity.

Globalism’s tactical strategy is to have the Left focus its Marxist ideological values of diversity, equity, and inclusion in cultural and educational institutions. The incremental strategic objective is for those values to be accepted as normative, then become social policy, and ultimately become the law of the land.

Dr. David Martin Issues Direct Message to President Trump   THE VIGILANT FOX

This executive order could change everything.

JUN 22, 2024 – Dr. David Martin has delivered a powerful and direct message to former President Donald Trump on The Alex Jones Show. He implored Trump to abandon his defense of the so-called vaccines and instead acknowledge that he was deceived.

“President Trump could easily say that he was conned,” Dr. Martin suggested. Because once the truth comes out, the reality is this: “They’re going to set you [Trump] up for this,” Alex Jones warned.

Dr. Martin took a hard stance on Operation Warp Speed, highlighting the grim reality of its consequences. “Operation Warp Speed, without his [Trump’s] knowledge, was actually signing the death warrant for a number of individuals who happen to be American citizens, who happened to be people that you [Trump] swore an oath to protect.”

However, Dr. Martin believes the path forward is not about pointing fingers but about taking decisive action. He called on Trump to sign an executive order to end money-making “pandemics” for good.

“The executive order that gets signed on the day you become president must be the absolute erasure of the pharmaceutical liability shields that are in place for vaccine manufacturers,” he insisted.

“If we want this thing to end, companies will be responsible for the products that they make, period. And then they’ll stop. The minute Pfizer and the minute Moderna have fiscal and civil and criminal liability for the things that they actually are producing … We will not have a pandemic.”

What IS the New World Order?   TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS

                                                                                                                                                               Archbishop  Carlo Maria Viganò

JUN 22, 2024 – It appears to me that Government politicians all over the world are just puppets and bit actors playing their parts – but who the heck is really behind the satanic cabal called the New World Order that they take direction from? That’s what I hope to answer in this newsletter.

Mike Benz calls it the blob. Others call it an international crime cartel or the Deep State. Archbishop Vigano says it’s a combination of the British Crown, CIA, WEF, UN, Vatican and IMF.

It’s obviously NOT based on religion – nor is it based on country or party or gender or race. We know that there is SOME connection – because their propaganda and schemes (like COVID) work in tandem all over the world. But what is the connection? Where did the NWO come from, why do they hate God and family – why are they so obsessed with evil?

Where did the NWO come from, why do they hate God and family – why are they so obsessed with evil?

What is their motivation? I’ve read THOUSANDS of articles and documents on this subject and this is what I think. I’m going to be providing you with enough information (in a 10 minute read) so you can do your own research but I’m not going to overwhelm you with too much detail in this newsletter so you lose my point. What follows is my EDUCATED OPINION.

Imagine a private club where Presidents, Prime Ministers, international bankers and Generals rub shoulders and where the people who run the wars, the markets and governments say things behind closed doors that they never say in public. Where does that happen? At the annual meeting of the Bilderberg Group. Every year, since 1954, the Bilderberg Group meets to decide how to run the world. No notes are taken, no press are allowed.

Mayorkas Claims Global Warming Makes Him Better at Dealing With Crises    by Daniel Greenfield

The only thing FEMA learned from the big lie of “global warming” was to lie.

June 22, 2024 – FEMA, which has been drained by being redirected to deal with Biden’s open borders invasion, needs money to smuggle more migrants around America.

The city government of El Paso, Texas, is busing illegal migrants to the Big Apple on the dime of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Deputy City Manager Mario D’Agostino told the DCNF Monday. The federal agency covers the travel costs of illegal migrants through a grant program.

But, according to the as yet unimpeached Secretary Mayorkas, global warming has prepped him to deal with hurricanes.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said during an interview with the Associated Press that the U.S. is prepared to go into an intense hurricane and wildfire season, but he did raise concerns about budget shortages.

Mayorkas said that the department is well equipped to deal with hurricanes and other natural disasters this summer, adding that more intense national disasters, partially due to climate change, have allowed the agency to gain experience in dealing with crises.

“As the impacts of climate change have been more and more evident, we have seen and experienced increasing frequency and gravity of extreme weather events,” Mayorkas said.

“Extreme weather events” are much of a myth as FEMA’s competency.

During the Clinton administration, there were folks worried about FEMA setting up concentration camps. I’d be very impressed if FEMA could set up a tent, let alone a camp. It’s a mostly useless agency that’s good for taking taxpayer money and funneling it through the usual web of special interests before it reaches anyone in need. (Of course that’s true for most federal government agencies.)

This is the real FEMA over in Puerto Rico.

By September 2018, despite billions of dollars in aid, Puerto Rico was still a mess. By August, FEMA had stopped paying for the nearly 2,500 displaced Puerto Ricans who had been living in hotels after Hurricane Maria had wrecked their homes. But the FEMA times were good at Casino Del Mar.

Ahsha Nateef Tribble’s job had been to get Puerto Rico working again. That’s why Ahsha had been appointed FEMA’s Power Sector Chief and Infrastructure Chief for Recovery.

And she was certainly helping one part of Puerto Rico recover.

At Casino Del Mar, Donald Keith Ellison, the former president of Cobra Acquisitions, who has been indicted alongside Tribble, was seen in surveillance footage picking up $3,000 worth of casino chips. The indictment alleges that Tribble and Ellison were together at the gambling tables and the cash cage.

Tribble and Ellison were gambling in more ways than one. The stakes would have easily broken the Casino Del Mar. Ellison’s Cobra had received $1.8 billion in federal contracts to restore Puerto Rico’s power grid. And Tribble had the authority to dispense $200 million in public assistance projects.

And then again in Hawaii.

Officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have been slammed by locals over their slow response to the devastating wildfires that have claimed at least 114 lives and left thousands of people homeless after their houses were scorched to the ground.

But that has not stopped the under-fire agency from splashing taxpayer cash to put up more than 1,000 of its personnel at four bank-breaking resorts in Wailea after the deadliest wildfire in the U.S. for more than a century that caused an estimated $5billion in damage.

The beachside resorts are popular among the rich and famous and located about a 45-minute drive away from the fire-ravaged town of Lahaina.

I saw FEMA up close in New York. It was useless.

The only thing they learned from the big lie of “global warming” was to lie and waste money.
