    How the Green Tech Industry Is Empowering Communist China: Steve Milloy

    How the Green Tech Industry Is Empowering Communist China: Steve Milloy

    “The greener we get, the more dependent we are on China, and they’re taking advantage of it. That is part, I think, of their 100-Year Plan. They don’t want to go to war with anyone, they’re just going to own our economy.”
    What has been the result of the West’s current energy and climate policies? Has our planet become cleaner? Or greener? Or have our economies weakened, and our products cheapened?
    “China is burning fossil fuels like there is no tomorrow. And the Biden administration is doing everything it can to reduce fossil fuel use in the United States,” says Steve Milloy, senior fellow at the Energy and Environmental Legal Institute. “You have this European climate movement, which has been funded by Putin to block Europe from producing its own energy. The other side knows what the West’s weaknesses are, and they fund them—and much to our detriment.”
    He argues that the Biden administration is putting independent oil companies out of business, and that contrary to reducing carbon emissions, the West has merely exported them to hostile actors.
    “Exxon Mobil and Chevron ... last year they announced $110-billion worth of purchases of smaller companies who have been weakened by Biden policies,” says Mr. Milloy.

    Shocking Number of Excess Deaths, Disabilities, and Injuries Revealed: Edward Dowd

    Shocking Number of Excess Deaths, Disabilities, and Injuries Revealed: Edward Dowd

    “Every regulator, every health authority, every government should be screaming from the top of their lungs: ‘This is a problem. This is a national [and] global crisis. We should look into it.’ But there’s silence on it, and I believe they’re silent because they know the answer.”
    Edward Dowd was a Wall Street executive working as a growth portfolio manager for BlackRock. Utilizing his skills in recognizing fraud and interpreting statistics, he started compiling and analyzing data on injury and death associated with the COVID-19 genetic vaccines.
    “We applied what we did in finance to what we’re seeing in the populations across the globe in disability. So, we’re just measuring using our statistical tools to figure out when trends change. We saw excess death trend up in ‘21 and ‘22 and ‘23, and disabilities just really take off in ‘21,” says Mr. Dowd.
    He recently testified in the Senate about his findings, which are documented in his book, ‘“Cause Unknown:” The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022.’
    “If you look at the the stock prices of Pfizer and Moderna ... they’re at critical junctures in their technical stock prices,” says Mr. Dowd. “In fact, Pfizer, I think, is now below its pre-COVID price.”
    How have the number of excess deaths and disabilities changed given the low booster uptake in America today? What about in other countries?
    “The booster uptake in the U.S. is quite low now. So, the good news is there seems to be a declining trend in excess mortality—not [in] disability so much, unfortunately,” says Mr. Dowd.

    In 1997, the Chinese communist regime labeled Uyghur human rights activist Dolkun Isa a “criminal,” and put him on Interpol’s list of most dangerous fugitives. After 9/11, they added another label: “Terrorist.” He has been detained and expelled at the border of multiple countries, and narrowly escaped being extradited back to China.
    He’s the author of “The China Freedom Trap: My Life on the Run.” In this episode, he exposes the harrowing effects of the long arm of Chinese transnational repression.

    Former Air Force Engineer on a Mission to Investigate Rise in Unusual Blood Clotting: Thomas Haviland

    Former Air Force Engineer on a Mission to Investigate Rise in Unusual Blood Clotting: Thomas Haviland

    “The lack of response I’ve gotten by the FDA and the CDC leads me to believe that those agencies are captured. They should be doing this job. They should be out there surveying all the funeral homes and the embalmers around the world and trying to find out if this is a COVID problem. Is this a COVID vaccine problem? What’s causing these things? You can’t deny they exist, because here they are.”
    In this episode, I sit down with Thomas Haviland, a retired Air Force engineer and data analyst. After being fired from the military for refusing to take the COVID-19 genetic vaccine, he noticed that embalmers and funeral homes were speaking out about large, abnormal blood clots.
    “We should stop injections immediately, until Big Pharma can prove that these things really are safe, because the information I’ve gathered in this survey, I think, puts that greatly into question,” says Mr. Haviland.
    He conducted two worldwide surveys of hundreds of embalmers.
    “We got 179 responses to that first survey. Of those, 119 of the embalmers responding were seeing these strange white fibrous clots. Almost exactly 66 percent, two-thirds of the embalmers responding to that first survey said they were seeing these white fibrous clots ... They were seeing them in up to an average of 30 percent of their corpses, with some of the embalmers seeing them in up to 50 percent,” says Mr. Haviland.

    The fentanyl scourge—the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45—is a “CCP-run operation,” says investigative journalist Peter Schweizer. He’s the author of, most recently, “Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans.”
    In this episode, he breaks down the Chinese regime’s disintegration-warfare strategies to destroy America from within—from killing young Americans with fentanyl to radicalizing protests in America so they adopt increasingly violent tactics.

    Exposing the ‘Nudge Units’ Helping Governments Control People’s Behavior: Laura Dodsworth

    “Now you have nudge units embedded in governments or advising governments all around the world. And what they’re really trying to do is change the will of the people from the top down. Now, there’s no democratic mandate for this. So, governments are sneakily using pre-conscious subliminal and covert techniques to change the way we behave, to make us model citizens. And maybe it’s supposedly in our best interests, but we haven’t been consulted upon it.”
    In this episode, I sit down with Laura Dodsworth, one of the first journalists to expose COVID-era government manipulation and how “nudge units” used fear to change behavior.
    “I feel it and I think I know a lot of people do—this feeling of something quite dark brewing, socially and politically. There’s a feeling of a net tightening and of truth being squashed, of more surveillance, more censorship, institutions captured by woke ideology,” says Ms. Dodsworth.
    We discuss the new book she co-authored: “Free Your Mind: The New World of Manipulation and How to Resist It.”
    “Your mind is wonderous. You do deserve to be sovereign of it. And you can be in charge of your own decision-making capability. You’re not on a sliding scale with a piece of machinery at all,” says Ms. Dodsworth.
    What is the real threat of AI? Of social media? Of pornography? Of net-zero?
    “One study in 2007 estimated that the human brain receives the equivalent of 174 newspapers worth of information every day. So, that’s the first thing. You’re overwhelmed with information. And the human brain simply can’t cope with it all. So, what you do is you depend upon shortcuts—cognitive biases to make sense of the world,” says Ms. Dodsworth.

Mr. Texas Dog ,

REACT19

Your interview with Dr Wallskorg is an outstanding must listen to session.

I’ve been working on one of Naomi Wolfe’s Pfizer clinical trial review teams. Massive reform is needed now. The mRNA platform should be halted ASAP. People need to go to prison. They knew. They know.

“Safe and Effective”, “masking”, “6’”, “science”…never, ever forget the FDA approved this for children AFTER they knew.

This is not a vaccine. It never was. It is not a mRNA shot. It IS a mRNA platform. Pharma is looking to broaden their market reach to use in other products.

Dr. Wallskorg is correct about being on an island, even among loved ones. Know you are not alone. Find at least one other. We’re here.

God bless you Jan. God bless us all.
