Opposing Tyranny
Living Faithfully,
David Hughes Ph.D. is a scholar who set about researching the globalist financial cabal in 2020, when he saw totalitarian moves in play, similar to 1930s Germany.
Resistance and Faith, A short reflection on the relationship between resistance and faith, in light of all that has happened since 2020, DAVID A. HUGHES Like many people in 2020, I lost a lot of respect for thinkers whose work I had previously admired.
In particular, I was dismayed that well-known “leftists” and “left-wing” publications had barely a word to say against the overtly fascistic measures being rolled out under the pretext of combatting a novel disease. On the contrary, supposed champions of the working class were found arguing for mass unemployment, business closures, and draconian police powers, as well as discriminatory “vaccine” mandates and “health passes.” Even when millions of people around the world marched against the unfolding attack on their fundamental rights, the political Left doubled down on its betrayal of the working class, e.g. by following the mainstream media in portraying protestors as “far right” and “fascist.” I concur with Simon Elmer’s verdict that the Left’s abject failure to oppose the global biosecurity state represents a momentous historical failure as ignominious as its failure to stop the rise of fascism a century ago.
Jeffrey Tucker, The Pandemic Excuse for a Corporatist Coup Much of the authority for this whole coup traces to the Public Health Services Act of 1944, which was passed in wartime. For the first time in US history, it gave the federal government the power to quarantine. Even when the Biden administration was looking for some basis to justify its transportation mask mandate, it fell back to this one piece of legislation. https://brownstone.org/articles/the-pandemic-excuse-for-a-corporatist-coup/
NATO Declaration Is Stark Neoconservative Recommitment to US Hegemony - Sachs "The NATO Declaration is a stark neoconservative recommitment to US hegemony. It calls for NATO to back the 'rules-based order,' which is actually the US-based order that is often directly contrary to the UN Charter," Sachs said.
On Wednesday, NATO released a joint Washington Summit Declaration, which outlines the alliance's efforts to further isolate Russia, bolster the alliance's security on its eastern flank, increase security assistance for Ukraine, and claim Ukraine is on an "irreversible path" into NATO, among other initiatives.
"It describes NATO as a defensive force despite the fact that NATO is repeatedly engaged in offensive regime-change operations, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Serbia, Libya, Ukraine, and others," Sachs said.
Sachs explains that NATO's declaration also restates Article 10 of the Washington Treaty, which claims that Russia has no input if NATO expands to surround Russia. Moreover, Sachs said NATO's joint statement describes its commitment to advanced biotechnologies, which raises concerns of biowarfare. https://sputnikglobe.com/20240711/nato-declaration-is-stark-neoconservative-recommitment-to-us-hegemony---sachs-1119335102.html

Pepe Escobar, We are NATO. And we’re comin’ to get ya So here’s the main 2024 NATO “strategic” trifecta:
Extra tens of billions of dollars in “assistance” to the upcoming rump Ukraine; the overwhelming majority of these funds will be slushing around the industrial-military money laundering complex.
Forceful imposition of extra military spending on all members.
Massive hyping up of the “China threat”... ..What is clear is that the NATO at 75 circus is absolutely clueless and impervious to what happened at the recent SCO summit in Astana. Especially when it comes to theSCO now positioned as a key node in bringing on a new, Eurasia-wide collective security arrangement.
As for Ukraine, once again Medvedev Unplugged, in inimitable style, delivered the Russian position:
“The Washington Summit Declaration of July 10 mentions ‘the irreversible path of Ukraine’ to NATO. For Russia, 2 possible ways of how this path ends are acceptable: either Ukraine disappears, or NATO does. Still better, both.” In parallel, China is conducting military exercises in Belarus only a few days after Minsk officially became a SCO member. Translation: forget about NATO “expanding” to Asia when Beijing is already making it clear it is very much present in NATO’s alleged “backyard”. Michael Hudson once again has reminded everyone with a brain that the running NATO warmongering show has nothing to do with peaceful internationalism. It’s rather about “a unipolar U.S. military alliance leading toward military aggression and economic sanctions to isolate Russia and China. Or more to the point, to isolate European and other allies from its former trade and investment with Russia and China, making those allies more dependent on the United States.”... ..The Eurasia integration process is about geoeconomic integration – including, crucially, transportation corridors connecting, among other latitudes, northern Europe with West Asia. For the Hegemon, this is the ultimate nightmare: Eurasia integration driving Western Europe away from the U.S. and preventing that perennial wet dream, the colonization of Russia. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/07/11/we-are-nato-and-were-comin-to-get-ya/
(Future VP?) Tulsi Gabbard, under 10 minutes, less if you only watch Tulsi: Reacting To Biden's Dangerous NATO Speech
Nobody tells the whole truth: John Helmer, THE KIEV CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL, THE RUSSIAN X-101 MISSILE, AND THE UKRAINE NASAMS MISSILE — THE WARHEAD EVIDENCE, MEDICAL AND AUTOPSY REPORTS ARE MISSINGE MISSING
So what exactly happened?
Sources who are experts in civil electrical engineering and a NATO veteran who specializes in electric warfare on the battlefield were asked this question.
The answers:
“The substations that were destroyed are of the distribution variety. They are smaller than the generation and transmission infrastructure focused on by the Russian electric war campaign to date. This tells us that the Russian General Staff are now homing in on local electrical equipment. In DTEK’s videos and published statements, it is obvious that the DTEK personnel are reading from prepared statements focusing on the hospital attack, not on the importance of the network of government and military offices supplied by the substations. It is likely that the MVA (megavolt ampere) ratings of the substations that were hit are much higher than the demand rating of the hospital.”
“The Russians were either targeting larger substations in the vicinity which can be seen on the infrastructure map or targeting the smaller substation in front of the hospital, or the Ministry of Infrastructure which is only about 110 metres south of the hospital substation. When the hospital substation was struck, everything tripped out all around, including the ministry and who knows what else.”
“The transformers in the substation shown in the pictures and videos of the hospital strike serve the hospital and the surrounding buildings The others shown on the maps of the area are for buildings such as the Ukrainian Ministry of Infrastructure. In capacity, these substations range from 2KMA to 1.6MVA and step 10,000 volts down to 400 volts for utilization in the buildings. The building east of the hospital substation in the pictures was not hit by an antiaircraft missile. The damage is too great. DTEK has said that three other substations were hit in Kiev. They have named the districts, but not the locations; the pictures make it nearly impossible to determine their location precisely. This information tells us that distribution transformers were intentionally targeted; they were not collateral damage.”
“At worst, the Russians intended to strike at the electrical installations and missed, but not really, and not by much. The building next to the substation was hit, not the hospital proper, nor the cardiology clinic to the north. The substation or the nearby ministry was the target. The hospital took blast damage from the strike and possibly from the NASAMS missile. Nebenzya definitely left out what the target was — but the damage to the building beside the substation appears too great to be from an AA missile. It’s too much of a coincidence that the substations and ministry building were close by.”
“The smallness of the substations that were hit indicates that the Russians are now focusing on targeting distribution as well as transmission and generation. This takes the risk of negatively impacting the nuclear power plants out of the equation. It also stretches Ukrainian utility resources thinner. With this in mind, targeting the hospital substation makes sense. It forces the Ukrainians to deploy scarce manpower and materiel (technicians, portable substations and generators) to keep the hospital going. It forces prioritization on a more local level with all of the system stresses that will cause.” https://johnhelmer.net/the-kiev-childrens-hospital-the-russian-x-101-missile-and-the-ukraine-nasams-missile-the-warhead-evidence-medical-and-autopsy-reports-are-missing/#more-90119

Lebanon: Southern Front lost $1.7 billion, thousands of homes destroyed The head of the Southern Council in Lebanon, Hashem Haidar, has announced the extent of the damage in southern Lebanese villages and towns as a result of the Israeli aggression, confirming that the material losses have so far amounted to one billion and 700 million dollars.
Haider said, “The extent of the damage has so far reached 3,000 completely and partially demolished housing units; 12,000 housing units were severely damaged; 20,000 minor damaged units; and the total value of the damage so far has been estimated at one billion and 700 million US dollars so far.”...
..According to Haider, the Israeli aggression resulted in the complete burning of 17 million square meters in the agricultural sector, primarily due to white phosphorus’s long-lasting effects, leaving farmers unable to harvest their crops on 12 million square meters of their land.

Netanyahu Demands Israel Maintain Control of Gaza-Egypt Border

Why the West Bank is on the verge of economic collapse, The West Bank's economic crisis and the expansion of Israel's settlements are connected. Here's how. The ongoing economic crisis in the West Bank has been accentuated by Israel’s economic sanctions against the PA since October 7. Smotrich, a pro-settlement hawk, sees the PA as an impediment to the ultimate Israeli goal of settlement expansion in the entire West Bank, despite the PA’s security coordination with Israel.
But the right-wing Finance Minister still agreed to ease some of the sanctions. The reason he did this, according to an unnamed Western diplomatic source quoted by al-Araby al-Jadeed, is that the transfer was part of an agreement between the U.S. and Israel. Israel would release the withheld customs money, and in exchange, the U.S. would allow Israel to “legalize” four Israeli settlement outposts in the northern West Bank (notably, Israel already started this legalization process a year ago under Netanyahu’s right-wing government). Moreover, just last week, Israel announced the single largest Palestinian land grab in over 30 years, seizing 1,269 hectares of land in the Jordan Valley region.
Yet even the partial loosening of restrictions on withheld customs money to the PA doesn’t come close to solving the PA’s economic crisis. Israel’s economic sanctions have forced hundreds of thousands of Palestinian public sector employees to survive on little to no salaries for months on end, while Israel still maintains its revocation of work permits for the some 100,000 Palestinian laborers who used to work in Israel and in Israeli settlements before October 7. https://mondoweiss.net/2024/07/why-the-west-bank-is-on-the-verge-of-economic-collapse/

Finally, some actual, though tritely partisan, information. This seems to be good for the deep-state spooks: "Project 2025" is just "Project 1981" With the whole point of these fearsome reforms with respect to the “Intelligence Community” is to enable “an incoming conservative President” to use all the “intelligence authorities” at his disposal to more “aggressively anticipate and thwart our adversaries, including Russia, Iran, North Korea, and especially China.” Is this what Democrats have in mind when they hyperventilate about Project 2025? Of course not, because the Biden Administration is doing essentially the same exact thing. As usual, however, recognizing the fundamental cross-party continuity in US foreign policy and “national security” serves no one’s short-term partisan interests, so they have to deceive the public about it for votes.With regard to the CIA, Project 2025 decries the tendency of “risk aversion or political bureaucracy to delay execution of the President’s foreign policy goals.” It thus recommends the diminution of bureaucracy and placement of individuals in the agency who will more effectively harness the power of clandestine operations to fortify and expand American hegemony. Another huge shocker!...
..The “intelligence” section of the document further advises the renewal of FISA warrantless surveillance, declaring that “Section 702 should be understood as an essential tool in the fight against terrorism, malicious cyber actors, and Chinese espionage.” Which again nicely aligns with Trump’s position, so far as it can be ascertained, seeing as he backed MAGA Mike Johnson’s successful effort to renew FISA in April, on the understanding that they both wanted Trump to be the one wielding that power when it next comes up for reauthorization in two years...

A small group of Mr. Biden’s advisers in the administration and the Biden campaign — at least two of whom have told allies that they do not believe he should keep trying to run for a second term — have said they would have to convince the president of three things.
They said they have to make the case to the president, who remains convinced of the strength of his campaign, that he cannot win against former President Donald J. Trump. They have to persuade him to believe that another candidate, like Vice President Kamala Harris, could beat Mr. Trump... ..The reports come one day after both Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi signaled doubt over Biden - with Schumer privately signaling to donors that he's open to dumping the president on the 2024 ticket, and Pelosi backing off her cheerleader routine. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/kamala-rising-biden-campaign-tests-harris-viability-longtime-aides-discuss-convincing

White House Whistleblowers: ‘Biden Regime Is Sex Trafficking Kids to Elite Pedophiles’ Tara Lee Rodas, a whistleblower with a 20-year federal career, described her experiences at the Pomona Fairplex Emergency Intake Site, where she served as Deputy to the Director of the Federal Case Management Team.
One case involved a 16-year-old Guatemalan girl named Carmen, who was placed with a man claiming to be her brother but who subsequently posted child pornography online.
Rodas also stated that gangs like MS-13 are involved in child placement. Despite warnings, authorities retaliated against her rather than investigate her claims.
Whistleblower Deborah White alleges that sponsors are rarely vetted face-to-face and fake documents are pervasive.
“Children were not going to their parents. Children were being trafficked with billions of taxpayer dollars by a contractor failing to vet sponsors and process children safely, with government officials complicit in it,” she said.
The oversight of sponsors by the Department of Human Services involved minimal follow-up, typically limited to a single phone call 30 days post-placement. By that time, many children could no longer be contacted. https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/white-house-whistleblowers-biden-regime-is-sex-trafficking-kids-to-elite-pedophiles/

Meryl Nass MD, Destroying meat and dairy production to save the planet Europe's governance system is ready to destroy food production. In the US, massive operations have destroyed food quality. Time to turn this mess around
Meryl Nass MD's Door To Freedom, The Food Industry Is Facing A Hostile Takeover, by James Patrick In the summer of 2022 Dutch farmers made headlines when they protested about being stifled by the Nitrogen regulations. Earlierin 2022 farmers from throughout Western Europe descended upon Brussels to demand a reprieve from a battery of ‘green’ policies squeezing them out of existence.
The regulations that were damaging the livelihood of farmers varied from country to country but had similar effects.
In Holland the issue was nitrogen from cows' excreta when the cows were located in designated "Natura 2000" areas.
In Germany the longstanding diesel tax exemption for farmers was lifted, causing the price of energy to skyrocket.
The green policies caused input costs to outstrip profits everywhere.
A cow farmer in the county I live in, in the eastern USA told me that several nearby farms stopped producing this year after running a loss the last two years.
Small farmers everywhere are under attack and only massive conglomerates are able to survive, but the quality of their production is inferiorand so is the health of those that consume it. https://doortofreedom.org/the-food-industry-is-facing-a-hostile-takeover/
This is an interesting form of 5th Generation Warfare. Wealthy Chinese people are very keen to get some of their wealth out of China, to diversify their risks out of the strictly currency-controlled country. It is very hard to buy assets in foreign countries, such as Canadian real estate, because it is hard to convert Yuan/Renmenbi inside China into foreign currencies outside China. But there seems to be this one loophole, which inadvertently creates a modern "Opium War" against the western countries, while generating US and Canadian dollars to invest in real estate in those countries.

No truthful magnetic-field-strength data since 2015, and now saying even that never existed. (5:34 min.) Magnetic Pole Shift - We're On Our Own
Choosing Health (picturing family with tree-swing)
My experience of farmers in the UK does suggest that small farmers can not only survive, but thrive and prosper by simply not using supermarkets as retail channels. They use their own farm shops, local farmers markets and butchers and marketing hubs run as SMEs.
You can also source vegetable box schemes direct from horticulturalists/market gardeners.
I can't speak for the USA, but I strongly urge all readers to be active in seeking out 'ethical farmers' who focus on quality over quantity, as close to where you live as is climatically feasible.
The supermarket channel is poor for small farmers, so avoid using it.
"Childhood Vaccine Injury - 6 month old Liam Archer Osterhout died the same day he received the Hep B, Tdap, Rotovirus, polio and pneumococcal vaccines."
I deeply appreciate my now-retired holistic veterinarian. He taught me to NEVER EVER take or give more than one vaccine at a time. First you wait to see if there are any bad effects -- called vaccinosis -- then you wait to give another vaccine. The kitten dumped on our road is now 14 years old and Uncle Lee was her veterinarian as compared to the kitten we adopted from the shelter who DIED AT AGE THREE. I try never to adopt from shelters because their care is so low-grade, but we did adopt an "unadoptable" beagle/whippet mix last year who is do very well on NO DRUGS (the shelter was drugging her), a quality diet, and endless petting. The only decent veterinarian I have ever met at a shelter was at Bide-A-Wee in NYC in the 1980s; he truly cared for the animals.
