- WEF - Humans should be charged for the air we breathe. For a couple of years now the UN has muted the power grab of all natural assets, as the WHO seeks to control all biodiversity, under Agenda 30. This includes the ‘ Corporatisation’ of all food systems, water and oxygen. Lindsay Hooper of the WEF, has blasted humans for expecting water and oxygen to be “unlimited” and “free.” And that Global elites must put them on the “balance sheet”. (video)

- HOW THE GLOBALISTS HIJACKED SCIENCE.
In this post, as a canceled scientist, I'll expose how the ruling elite
hijacked science for their pseudotheories: First, they ensured that
scientists at universities are no longer permanently employed but are
hired on a precarious project basis for 3-4 years. Second, a scientist
only gets a grant for a project if it fits within the rigid and
ideological framework of the funding organization. These almost always
mandate gender, equality, inclusion, and climate change. Third, if you
don’t comply and integrate these politically charged issues into your
funding application, you will not get a job. This system ensures that
only sycophantic, uncritical scientists receive funding grants.

- Using the MGH numbers with our own VAERS queries, we have 247 cases per million doses from the MGH study divided by 5.97 cases per million doses from VAERS. 247/5.97 = 41. This suggests that the VAERS under-reporting factor (URF) is 41X.
