Yes, the United States has COVID-19 camps.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) quietly published its COVID Camp protocol back in 2020. The plan was to send “sick” people to a camp for the betterment of all. But the phrase “COVID camp” has a negative feel to it. The CDC prefers the words “shielding camps.”

What is a COVID “shielding” camp? I’ll let the CDC explain it. By the way, don’t look for the word “voluntarily” because you won’t find it. That’s likely not an accident.

The shielding approach aims to reduce the number of severe COVID-19 cases by limiting contact between individuals at higher risk of developing severe disease (“high-risk”) and the general population (“low-risk”). High-risk individuals would be temporarily relocated to safe or “green zones” established at the household, neighborhood, camp/sector or community level depending on the context and setting.1,2They would have minimal contact with family members and other low-risk residents.

Like every other authoritarian attempt to curtail our freedoms, the Shielding COVID lockdown camps come to us disguised as a virtue. Check out the “strict adherence to protocol” part that every freedom-loving American should be wary of. Remember, they wanted to lock you down to protect “the most vulnerable populations.”

In theory, shielding may serve its objective to protect high-risk populations from disease and death. However, implementation of the approach necessitates strict adherence1,6,7, to protocol. Inadvertent introduction of the virus into a green zone may result in rapid transmission among the most vulnerable populations the approach is trying to protect.

So who decides which people are “high-risk”? In New York, it’s the public health commissioner who makes that call, comrade. Here is where it gets all commie-pinko: in New York state, you didn’t have to be sick to be sent to a camp. The public health commissioner could send anyone away, at any time, for any reason, for as long as she wanted.

FACT-O-RAMA! Biden wanted everyone not vaccinated to be fired from their jobs. Remember that every election day for the rest of your lives.

Here’s the good news: a New York judge just scuttled New York Rule 2.13, which allowed the New York commissioner of public health to take on these insane dictatorial powers.

According to court documents, Rule 2.13 suggests “[t]he commissioner has unfettered discretion to issue a quarantine or isolation for anyone, even if there is no evidence that person is infected or a carrier of the disease. Further, the commissioner sets the terms, duration, and location of the detention, not an independent magistrate.”

The judge continued:

Involuntary detention is a severe deprivation of individual liberty, far more egregious than other health safety measures, such as requiring mask wearing at certain venues. Involuntary quarantine may have far-reaching consequences such as loss of income [or employment] and isolation from family.

The New York legislature never voted on Rule 2.13. So how did this shockingly unconstitutional and draconian decision come to be? It was on the orders of N.Y.’s unelected Gov. Kathy Hochul and her Department of Health.

MARXISM-O-RAMA! Rule 2.13 gave the N.Y. commissioner of health the power to send anyone, sick or not, regardless of age (they could have snatched your kids), to a camp for as long as she wanted to.

Just as importantly, who is the commissioner of health who was given the power to lock up healthy people for as long as she wants? It’s Mary T. Bassett, whom Hochul employed roughly one month after she took over for disgraced Gov. “Handsy” Andy Cuomo.

Check out Bassett’s bio, especially the words “equity” and “social justice,” which have become code words for communism.

Governor Kathy Hochul today announced Mary T. Bassett, MD, MPH, has been appointed Commissioner of the Department of Health. With more than 30 years of experience devoted to promoting health equity and social justice, both in the United States and abroad, Dr. Bassett’s career has spanned academia, government, and not-for-profit work. Her appointment is effective December 1.

Who is the hero who brought the lawsuit? Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox. Her pro-bono lawsuit brought down Hochul’s attempt to round up any New Yorker, sick or not, that her pal Bassett decided needed to be sent away.

Check out Cox in this amazing video below as she explains how Hochul’s people fought to keep their tyrannical “rule” in place and how they wanted to use local law enforcement to round up people Democrats deemed “sick” enough to send away to a camp.

Spoiler alert: this all stems from Cuomo’s “emergency COVID powers,” which N.Y. tyrants never wanted to surrender.

Camps Discovered in Russia House Thousands of Ukrainians Forcibly Removed From Homeland

INews, an independent news source in the UK, is reporting that a network of former Soviet sanatoriums and other sites in regions including Siberia, the Caucasus, the Arctic Circle, and the Far East, are housing Ukrainians forcibly removed from their homeland. Some of the camps are up to 5,500 miles from Ukraine.

Moscow had ordered towns and cities across Russia to prepare for the arrival of nearly 100,000 “refugees.” The Russian government now claims it has “evacuated” one million people from the war zone. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in April that 500,000 Ukrainians had been sent to Russia.

For our VIPs: Part II: Russia Is Fighting the Ukraine War on Five Fronts: Where Are They Winning?

It seems clear that there are hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians from areas occupied by the Russian army who aren’t in Ukraine anymore.

INews interviewed human rights activists who are helping Ukrainians escape the camps.

“When people are only given a choice to stay under increasingly heavy shelling or to enter the territory of an occupying power, it constitutes forced transfer under international humanitarian law.

“We are extremely concerned this is happening. People who seek evacuation to safer areas in Ukraine are shuttled off to Russia instead – in some cases to remote areas very far from Ukrainian or European borders.

“They are vulnerable, destitute, often without identification documents and find themselves at the mercy of the occupying power.”

The sites are known as Temporary Accommodation Points (TAP). The Russians call them fil’tratsiia, or filtration camps. They’re a holdover from World War II, when Stalin was terrified that returning Russian POWs were “infected” by liberal ideas. The camps were set up to “reeducate” the soldiers.

Putin’s motives are apparently far simpler. Russia has a labor shortage in these remote regions due to population decline. The Ukrainians have been put to work — sometimes in dangerous jobs.

The center, which has a focus on “military-patriotic work” and promoting a “commitment to serving ones Motherland”, opened at the site of a former orphanage in February as part of a national “education” project instigated by Putin to create nearly 40 similar centers including one in Russia-controlled Crimea.

It is one of two military-linked sites identified by i after this newspaper exclusively revealed last month that up to 600 Ukrainians including Mariupol survivors had been taken to a former chemical weapons dump at Leonidovka, near the Russian city of Penza, which played a former role in dismantling the country’s arsenal of nerve agents.

Putin has been careful to spread the camps out over the vast Russian Eurasian landmass, not putting more than a couple of hundred Ukrainians in any single location. The Economist reports on one of these camps set up outside of the besieged city of Mariupol.

A satellite image captured in March by Maxar Technologies, an American firm, showed Russian-backed forces had begun building a temporary camp of regimented blue-and-white tents in the Russian-controlled village of Bezimenne near the port-city of Mariupol, in south-eastern Ukraine. According to witnesses, Ukrainians sent there were photographed and forced to turn over their mobile phones and identity documents before being interrogated and deported to Russia. The Kremlin describes these people as “refugees”. Rossiyskaya Gazeta, a pro-Kremlin newspaper, claims that 5,000 civilians were screened at Bezimenne to prevent “Ukrainian nationalists from infiltrating Russia”. But escapers tell a different story, comparing conditions to those of a ghetto or concentration camp. They claim to have witnessed torture and killings carried out by Russian security services to weed out “Ukrainian Nazis”.

The Russian government is only making token efforts to guard many of their “guests.” There’s no place for them to go in the remote regions where the camps have been set up. The Ukrainians have no identification papers, no phones, and no way to travel. They’re stuck where they are unless the Russian human rights activists, who have been raising money and arranging transportation for the Ukrainians, find them and help them escape.

Some Ukrainians who escaped from these TAPs have made the long, arduous journey to Poland and have begun to tell their stories. It’s just one more atrocity in a growing list of outrages initiated by the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

EXCERPTS FROM WIKIPEDIA:

On April 27, 2017, HB 3502 introduced by Chief Sponsor, Deb Conroy, passed with unanimous support. This bill's purpose was to set up an advisory council with the goals of developing recommendations and an action plan to address the barriers to early and regular screening and identification of mental health conditions in children, adolescents, and young adults in Illinois.[12]

Throughout her career as a state representative, Deb Conroy has shown her support for same-sex marriage and enforcement of equality laws by co-sponsoring the SB 10 (Authorizes Same-Sex Marriage) and the SJRCA 75 (Ratifies the Equal Rights Amendment), which were both passed. Conroy has also voted in favor of HB 217, which prohibits sexual orientation conversion therapy for minors and was executively signed into law on August 20, 2015.

(Natural News) Of course, it’s a female Democrat lawmaker from Illinois. Rep. Deb Conroy (D), 46th District, has proposed a new law (HB 4640) that would empower the State of Illinois to round up anti-vaxxers at gunpoint and throw them into state-run concentration camps for an indefinite period of time. This is entirely consistent with the authoritarian lunacy of Democrats and especially female Democrats who have become raging, power-hungry “mask Karens” who seek to rule over everyone.

Here’s the official Illinois General Assembly link to the status of the bill.

From IllinoisReview.com:

Villa Park State Rep. Deb Conroy (Democrat) wants to “isolate or quarantine persons who are unable or unwilling to receive vaccines, medications, or other treatments.”

HB 4640 is scheduled to be heard in the Illinois House Human Services Committee on February 2 at 9:00 AM.

If HB 4640 were to become law, persons exposed to an infectious disease could be placed under Public Health Department observation, only possible in a contained atmosphere with Department watch guards, some suggest such as a concentration camp.

The bill says:

To prevent the spread of a dangerously contagious or infectious disease, the [Public Health] Department may, pursuant to the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section, isolate or quarantine persons whose refusal to undergo observation and monitoring results in uncertainty regarding whether he or she has been exposed to or is infected with a dangerously contagious or infectious disease or otherwise poses a danger to the public’s health.

Here’s the Democrat pushing this: Rep. Deb Conroy:

The proposed law would also allow any local Illinois “official” (i.e. criminal government goon) to access the vaccine status of all individuals as a pretense to rounding up the unvaccinated and throwing them into covid concentration camps.

From the description at ILGA.gov:

Amends the Department of Public Health Act. Provides that emergency access to medical or health information, records, or data shall include access to electronic health records, provided that the local health authority shall be unable to alter the electronic health records.

There are currently 12,634 “witness slips” filed in opposition to the bill, as seen at this link on ILGA.gov.

The number of proponents in support of the bill is 81.

Your government is the terrorist

It appears that Rep Deb Conroy has not yet sufficiently terrorized the people of Illinois to get them to agree to be rounded up and taken away to concentration camps. No doubt the psychological operations programs will have to be ramped up to achieve that goal.

Here’s a link on how to contact Rep. Deb Conroy. She’s a member of the Illinois House Democratic Women’s Caucus and — no surprise — was also a District 205 School Board member. If you contact her, be polite. Don’t fall into the trap of becoming what she is.

If you ever wondered what an actual vaccine Nazi looks like in modern-day America, get a good look at this Karen. This is what the Holocaust looks like in America: Power-hungry lunatic left-wing women demanding that men with guns round up all their political opponents and throw them into concentration camps. Conroy would have felt right at home in Nazi Germany, circa 1939.

It’s no surprise, then, that Conroy is the Chair of the House Mental Health Committee. Never forget how the Nazis declared their opponents to be mentally deficient so they could throw them into insane asylums and have them exterminated. It seems like it’s always the people running the mental health sectors of society who are the most insane and power-hungry, doesn’t it?

Here’s Rep. Conroy with her “mental health” award placard:

Finally, if you live in Illinois, you should probably consider exiting that bankrupt state anyway, as the financial picture for the State of Illinois is nothing short of disastrous. Even with covid bailout money, Chicago and St. Louis are beyond bankrupt. The city of Chicago currently owes $43,700 per taxpayer, reports IllinoisPolicy.org:

Fiscal watchdog Truth in Accounting’s July 2021 report showed the Windy City’s pension-fueled debt rose by $2.3 billion from 2019 to 2020 despite receiving substantial federal aid during the pandemic.

Maybe vaccine Holocaust pusher Deb Conroy should spend more time worrying about how Illinois is going to pay its bills than hounding citizens over vaccine compliance and wasting money on guards for covid concentration camps.

Also, note that it’s only Democrat-controlled states that are pushing concentration camps. This insane nonsense does not fly in red states.

In any case, if you contact Rep. Conroy, be polite and state your case firmly and calmly. Better yet, just vote tyrants like this out of power in the 2022 mid-term elections. The way to end tyranny is to stop supporting it, obviously.

For those Illinois citizens who keep voting Democrat, you are getting the tyranny you deserve.

Ex-NY Times Writer: COVID Restrictions Amount to a “Catastrophic Moral Crime”

BY SELWYN DUKE

SEE: https://thenewamerican.com/ex-ny-times-writer-covid-restrictions-amount-to-a-catastrophic-moral-crime;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

Thousands dead due to secondary effects of lockdowns, children’s development stunted and youth mental-health problems increasing, livelihoods ruined, depression and suicide up, the economy wobbly, and freedoms destroyed — all with no apparent reduction in coronavirus spread. This is the all-cons-and-no-pros result of COVID policy.

It’s also something else: “a catastrophic moral crime.”

So said former New York Times writer Bari Weiss while on Real Time with Bill Maher last Friday.

Weiss’s comments lay in stark contrast to those of Representative Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), who appeared opposite her and acted as an apologist for China virus regulations.

Host Maher introduced the topic saying that a COVID reset was now apparent in Europe, with leaders beginning to accept that we have to live with SARS-CoV-2 and “treat it like the flu”; in particular, he mentioned the U.K.’s elimination of virtually all COVID regulations.

After Torres presented the boilerplate COVIDian claim about how we’re returning to normal because of Joe Biden’s “vaccination” campaign, Weiss pointed out that her once complete devotion to COVID ritual was history.

“I’m done. I’m done with COVID. I went so hard with COVID,” she said. “I sprayed the Pringles cans that I bought at the grocery store, stripped my clothes off because I thought COVID would be on my clothes. I watched Tiger King; I got to the end of Spotify. We all did it, right?”

At this point, Maher, shaking his head, interjected, “No, we didn’t all do it.” Though Maher is liberal and accepted one dose of an mRNA therapy agent (MTA, a.k.a. COVID “vaccine”) — explaining in the past that he “took one for the team” — he maintains that the China virus response is overblown.

Weiss then resumed, saying, “And then we were told, you get the vaccine. You get the vaccine and you get back to normal. And, we haven’t gotten back to normal, and it’s ridiculous at this point. I know that so many of my liberal and progressive friends are with me on this, and they do not want to say it out loud because they are scared to be called anti-vax or to be called science denial, or to be, you know, smeared as a Trumper.”

This is yet more evidence that, as I wrote recently, “the vax-attacks phalanx is starting to crack.” A few prominent establishment figures have begun to admit that our current COVID approach is misguided and that we need to change course. And at some point this phenomenon may reach critical mass, the silent anti-COVIDians may speak up, and the current leaks in the dam of delusion may become a full-blown rupture.

Weiss still had more to say, however. “I’m sorry, if you believe the science, you will look at the data that we did not have two years ago, and you will find out that cloth masks do not do anything,” she continued. “You will realize that you can show your vaccine passport at a restaurant and still be asymptomatic and carrying Omicron.”

Note here that The New American and other honest news sources have been reporting for almost the “pandemic’s” entire duration that mask mandates are ineffective and, in fact, counterproductive. Moreover, while Maher had, as mentioned earlier, treated the conclusion that we’ll just have to live with COVID as a new revelation, certain experts have thus informed for two years. In particular, I’ve repeatedly cited an article at the liberal Atlantic that made this point in February 2020.

Weiss then issued her money line, stating that the China virus fiasco “is going to be remembered by the younger generation as a catastrophic moral crime.” Supporting this assertion, she mentioned how a Flint, Michigan school recently announced there would be virtual learning indefinitely, and, touching on psychological damage done to kids, said there has been a 51-percent increase in self-harm among young girls.

“That is why we need to end the lockdowns and declare it a pandemic of bureaucracy,” she stated. (Video below.)

I’ll reiterate that while it’s good (and necessary) that the mainstream Johnny-come-latelys are finally coming, they’re singing from others’ hymnal. Just consider some New American headlines from COVID Year One:

As for COVID policy being a “moral crime,” Weiss is correct. But how it will be remembered is a different matter, as the victors write the history.

Another issue is that it’s “easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled,” as the apocryphal saying goes, and this helps explain continued rank-and-file COVIDian devotion. This said, COVID-delusion-dissipation critical mass may be reached and, when people finally do realize they’ve been fooled, watch out!

And coming to mind here is the 1975 film The Man Who Would be King, in which two wealth-seeking 19th-century Englishmen successfully seize power in a primitive Eastern land. Their triumph is facilitated by the fact that one of them, through a twist of fate, ends up being taken as a god. Yet after the people see him bleed due to a reluctant bride’s unfortunate bite, their rule ends — rapidly and tragically. (Video below. Warning: contains spoilers.)

Ambitious men who play god play a dangerous game, and “lies have short legs.” Then again, people also have short memories. So only time will tell how much farther the COVID Con can run.

10yrs for saving girl’s life’: Hacker jailed after exposing hospital for medical kidnapping

SEE: https://thenewamerican.com/freemartyg-exposing-americas-secret-prisons/;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

Marty Gottesfeld, 37, is an American political prisoner. There’s just no other way to describe the self-taught, nonviolent techie/medical freedom activist now locked away in solitary confinement at a secret federal detention facility in Marion, Illinois — after being transferred this month from a different secret center in Terre Haute, Indiana. Both are known as “communications management units” (CMUs) in prison industrial complex bureaucrat-ese.

Or you could just call them un-American penitentiary black holes.

Twice — last June and this week — I’ve asked the federal Bureau of Prisons to explain why Marty is being held in solitary confinement, how long he has been squirreled away, and on what grounds he was transferred. “For privacy, safety, and security reasons,” I was told, “the BOP does not discuss any individual inmate’s conditions of confinement to include housing quarters or reasons for transfer.” This past Sunday marked four full months that Marty has been in solitary and blocked from communicating with loved ones or the media.

I first learned of Marty’s plight — and his heroism — five years ago from his loyal and vigilant wife, Dana, whose words in defense of the dissident action he took that earned him a 10-year federal sentence have never left me:

“It was the right thing to do.”

A quick recap for those who have never heard of, or have forgotten, the “Free Marty G” nightmare. In 2013, a young girl named Justina Pelletier was ripped from her parents’ custody by Boston Children’s Hospital. The teen, who has mitochondrial disease and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, had gone to BCH after coming down with a severe case of the flu. Instead of receiving top-notch care and attention at BCH, however, Justina was medically kidnapped and recklessly re-diagnosed with a psychological condition, “somatoform disorder.”

Justina was dragged from BCH’s neurology department to its infamous psych ward, where she was reprimanded for being unable to move her bowels or walk unassisted in her weakened state. At the Wayside Youth and Family Support Network residential treatment center where she was confined, she and her family recounted to me in my 2018 documentary on the case, she was harassed by a staffer while taking a shower. The physical and mental torture lasted 16 months.

Enter Marty G.

In April 2014, he helped lead a social media army that implemented distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against Boston Children’s Hospital and the nearby Wayside Youth and Family Support Network residential treatment. Marty had organized a social media army to knock the computer networks of both institutions offline to protest Pelletier’s medical kidnapping. Hackers from the loose-knit collective, Anonymous, allegedly participated in the campaign.

Marty was charged and convicted of cybercrimes and sentenced to 10 years in federal prison. He had already spent more than a year behind bars without bail at the time of his sentencing (including about 80 days in solitary confinement and a stint in the same detention center as Mexico’s notorious drug cartel kingpin “El Chapo”). He has no regrets about stepping up in Pelletier’s defense and continued his whistle-blowing investigative journalism after his imprisonment with Dana’s help — until the feds tried to shut him up and shut him down after reporting on the plight of other CMU inmates.

The last time Dana spoke to Marty was last September. The last time she was able to see him in person was at his sentencing three years ago — yes, years — this month. Last summer, BOP officials had recommended that Marty be removed from the Terre Haute CMU. Instead, he was hauled from one American Gitmo to another.

“We were devastated to find out that the placement of Marty in the CMU will continue,” Dana told me this week. “There was never any good — or even comprehensible — reason to place him in that ultra-restrictive unit that was created in the 9/11 era. The BOP’s decision to continue placing Marty in the CMU shows that the pattern of harassment and retaliation that Marty faced when he began speaking publicly about conditions in BOP facilities continues.”

Dana added that “less than two-tenths of 1% of federal inmates are held in the CMUs. Many of them are members of radical Islamist terror organizations. The BOP has never given a reasonable explanation for why it has chosen to hold Marty, a nonviolent person never previously convicted of a crime, in these specialized prison units. I believe the BOP is continuing to retaliate against Marty for his decision to speak publicly about conditions in BOP facilities, ranging from damp and freezing cells, nonpotable water, to misconduct by a BOP unit manager.”

The Justice Department’s inspector general passed the buck on Marty’s case to the BOP Office of Internal Affairs. Marty’s complaint has fallen into yet another black hole.

DR. JOSEPH MERCOLA: You Can Check in, but You Can Never Leave

Breaking: Alex Newman's Father Being Murdered by Florida Hospital 

Award-winning international journalist, educator, author, and consultant Alex Newman joins me with breaking news from Florida concerning a local hospital that is attempting to murder his father

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet from Truth for Health Foundation lays bare what's been happening inside America's hospital system over the last two years, bringing to mind the 1977 dystopian Eagles’ hit song, “Hotel California,” where people can check in, but they can never leave
  • Where once people could sign out of the hospital against medical advice (AMA), the Foundation's COVID Care Strategy Team has sometimes needed a show of force from police, attorneys, media, and family members to liberate patients from a hospital
  • Hospitals have good reason to want to keep patients from leaving since the government has incentivized them to keep you there and watch you die, paying bonuses for every patient tested, admitted, or treated with remdesivir for COVID, for every COVID patient on a ventilator and every COVID death
  • Human rights attorney Thomas Renz estimates each of these bonuses can potentially add up to $100,000 extra per COVID patient; this may be one more reason why hospitals are not administering safe and effective medications like ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine
  • Vliet cautions people not to get overwhelmed by fear, and instead take action; get prepared with a COVID survival kit and make an action plan if you must be admitted to the hospital

In this 40-minute interview with Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet, she reveals to host Dr. Peter R. Breggin many of the atrocities that are happening in hospitals today — not in the name of science, research, or misguided intervention, but in the name of worship of the almighty dollar.

Vliet refocused her medical practice in 1985 when she set up an integrated practice that encompassed medicine, psychology, psychiatry, faith, and health and wellness practices outside the boundaries of western medicine. She also founded Truth for Health Foundation,1 Breggin calls the foundation’s focus "refounding America," or the effort to return to the founding principles of the country.

She resigned from insurance contracts so she would answer only to her patients and not be constrained by insurance regulations.2 Instead of approaching medicine from a fragmented perspective, treating one symptom or condition at a time, she decided to address the health of her patients from the perspective that every bodily system affects every other.

Fast forward to 2020, when Vliet found herself treating patients on the front line of COVID-19 using treatments that had been employed in the past for viral and bacterial illnesses. In the role as an advocate for patients and their families, she has discovered:3

"COVID patients in America's hospitals today are actually treated worse than prisoners in America's jails. They don't have visitation rights. They don't have the right to decide treatment. They are refused fluids and nutrients. They are not given antibiotics. They are not given corticosteroids. Ivermectin is what’s been in the news; it's more serious than just one drug. They're not getting a whole lot of things that I just listed."

Patients Discover You Can Check in, But You Can Never Leave

Vliet has gathered a strong group of professionals who are as committed as she to lead Truth for Health Foundation. Each has a unique skill set to lend to the ongoing work of the organization. The board and advisers include names you may recognize:

Dr. Peter McCullough — Chief medical adviser, internist, cardiologist and epidemiologist; he has 46 peer-reviewed publications on SARS-CoV-2 and has been an outspoken leader in the medical response.

Michael Yeadon, Ph.D. — Chief science adviser; he holds a Ph.D. in respiratory pharmacology; his career in the biopharmaceutical industry spanned nearly 30 years leading projects seeking new treatments for asthma and COPD; until 2011 he was chief science officer in allergy and respiratory research worldwide with Pfizer U.K until the facility was closed.

Paul. E. Alexander, Ph.D. — Director of evidence-based medicine and research methodology; a former assistant professor at McMaster University in evidence-based medicine; COVID Pandemic adviser to WHO-PAHO (2020); and senior adviser to COVID pandemic policy for the U.S.

Dr. Richard Blumrick — Maternal-fetal medicine adviser; his fellowship research focused on the use of lipid coatings to increase transport across the placenta; he also has direct research experience on the risks of the lipid-coated gene therapy COVID shots for developing babies.

Vliet recounts some of the experiences of the foundation’s COVID care strategy team, such as learning that, much like the 1977 dystopian Eagles’ hit song “Hotel California”, people can check in to the hospital, but they can never leave. Vliet says:4

"Our COVID care strategy team works diligently to assist patients and family members of patients who are trying to rescue their loved ones from hospitals where they are trapped, isolated, alone and [have] no access to their advocates, no access to family, priests, rabbis, pastors, and no access to effective treatment ... It will turn out to be one of the most shameful eras in American medicine in our history when all is exposed."

It was human rights attorney Thomas Renz who asked the foundation to set up a medical advisory team to help families rescue their loved ones from hospitals. This became the COVID Care Strategy Team. Vliet goes on to explain that for the team to successfully liberate patients from the hospital, it sometimes requires a show of force.

The team may have to organize the presence of local police, an attorney to confront hospital administrators, family members get media on the hospital grounds, and have ambulances on-site to hopefully get the patient released. All this in a country where the Constitution and Bill of Rights guarantee your right to freedom.

In the past years, you may have been able to sign a paper indicating you were leaving against medical advice (AMA), but during the pandemic, you are more likely to be held hostage, since some doctors and administrators may threaten patients who want to leave. Vliet shared:5

“All of the situations our team has been involved in have had hospital administrators, doctors and nurses tell the patient, "Well, if you try to leave, you're going to die." Well, one patient, an 83-year-old woman, feisty spirit, said right back to the doctor, "Well, you tried to kill me yesterday by taking away my oxygen and putting me on morphine. I'd rather die with my family.””

Hospitals Are Paid to Keep You Sick

During her interview with Breggin,6 Vliet shared how hospitals are being incentivized to keep people sick under the direction of the NIH and Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief medical adviser to the president. 

Vliet has access to information from Renz and whistleblowers from hospitals, who are protected under federal whistleblower protection.7 She says those hospitals are getting paid a bonus for using only remdesivir to treat COVID, a fact which is also published on the CMS site for Medicare patients.8

Remdesivir was developed as an antiviral drug and tested during the Ebola breakout in 2014. Developing the drug cost taxpayers at least $70.5 million, and that number may be higher.9 After analysis showed disappointing results for treating Ebola, it was once again tested in the early months of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.10

However, those trials were also disappointing11,12,13 and worse, revealed significant and life-threatening side effects from the drug, including kidney failure and liver damage.14 Despite the research, the FDA first approved the drug under emergency use authorization in May 2020,15 and then fully authorized it in October 2020.16

Vliet said the hospitals are also paid a bonus each time a patient with a COVID-19 diagnosis is admitted, for every PCR test on any patient, each time a patient is placed on a ventilator, and for every COVID-19 death.17

As you can imagine, it would not take much to convince hospitals to prescribe only remdesivir to patients when the hospitals are given a bonus for administering the drug and the medication leads to additional bonuses from ventilator care or death. In fact, Renz and the whistleblowers have calculated from the data18 “that the hospitals, at a minimum, are making $100,000 extra per COVID patient, for following all of these directives, and not deviating from them.”

Additionally, Vliet reports Renz has shared in press conferences information from CMS whistleblowers that 84.9% of Texans who are placed on ventilators die within 96 hours.19 “We have never had a death rate in our hospitals that high in my lifetime,” she said. “And yet they continue to do it.”

Vliet mentions that patients are being denied nutrition and fluids, which you may find difficult to imagine. After all, that sounds too much like torture and against the Geneva Convention, which is the foundation of international humanitarian law. Under rule 5320 you may not starve a person as it constitutes a war crime and under rule 11821 you must provide basic necessities to people who are deprived of their liberty, as they are admitted to a hospital in isolation.

However, as Nancy Ross, power of attorney for Chicago’s iconic QAnon adherent Veronica Wolski, clearly states in her interview,22 she had to beg the hospital to give Wolski food and nutrition.

Approved Medications Are Vilified

Vliet touched on the meaning of FDA-approved medications and the latitude that physicians have had in the past when prescribing drugs “off-label,” which is prescribing a drug for an indication that is not approved by the FDA. For example, Viagra was originally approved and marketed for high blood pressure and angina,23 but was prescribed off-label for erectile dysfunction before it was approved for that use.

During the interview, she said, “that all of this about ivermectin not approved for COVID is a lot of hogwash the hospitals are putting up because it is an FDA-approved medicine.”24 She went on to explain:25

“This is a lie to the public when they say “Well, it’s not FDA approved for COVID.” That just means the drug company can’t market it for COVID. It does not mean doctors cannot use it to treat COVID, and doctors worldwide have been doing that very successfully … we have over 60 studies that show how it works and that it is very effective if given early, and even when it’s given later in the hospitalization.”

Ivermectin, by the way, is an FDA-approved drug for several health conditions, including treatment for worms, onchocerciasis, intestinal strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis or river blindness, and dengue, Zika, and yellow fever.26 Federal employee and master’s-prepared nurse Jodi O’Malley spoke with Project Veritas about the conditions at Phoenix Indian Medical Center.27 She is one of the whistleblowers working with Renz.

In one segment of a Veritas video, you see a pharmacist telling O’Malley she’s unwilling to fill ivermectin, saying “I am not going to lose my job over this.”28 Taken at face value, the pharmacist decided to keep her job rather than give a patient life-saving medication.

Vliet explains that she has used hydroxychloroquine, another of the “vilified” medications, as a foundation for treatment since it has several unique properties that make it effective for this infection.29

Gates Declared 2010 Would Begin the Decade of Vaccines

The COVID pandemic is one fruit of Gates’ announcement at the 2010 World Economic Forum at Davos when he pledged $10 billion toward the effort.30,31 Forbes reports Gates said, “The magic tool of health intervention is the vaccine because they can be made very inexpensively.”32 The Forbes journalist wrote:33

“Health = resources ÷ people. And since resources, as Gates noted, are relatively fixed, the answer lay in population control. Thus, vaccines made no sense to him: Why save kids only to consign them to life in overcrowded countries where they risked starving to death or being killed in civil war?”

However, as the article continues, after discovering that people often had large families because their children died young, he switched his perspective for greater control. ““We moved pretty heavily into vaccines once we understood that,” says Gates.”34

Getting back to Breggin’s interview with Vliet, he asks a broad question: How could Dr. Vliet be right?35 How could they incentivize to withhold treatment and let people die, at the same time calling them COVID-19 patients to legitimize their actions, when many of them may not even have COVID-19 or it may not be what’s killing them? It's the treatment that’s destroying lives. Why would they do it?

Breggin believes it looks like it’s part of culling the population, which he points out that Gates has never openly admitted to trying. Yet, as Breggin also notes, Gates' vaccines have killed people before, when children in Africa died from the DPT vaccine.36 More recently, in June 2021, calls for Indian authorities to charge Gates with violations of medical ethics were trending on social media.37

Vliet believes much of the focus in health policy changed during the Obama administration when a private health care adviser, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, created the Complete Lives System.38,39 Emanuel is a breast oncologist who was also chair of the department of bioethics at the National Institutes of Health from 1997 to 2011.40

As Lawrence R. Huntoon, M.D., Ph.D., wrote in an editorial,41 the Complete Lives System is a form of socialism with five principles that were aimed at achieving “equal outcomes so as to achieve “complete lives.” The system basically seeks to redistribute “life years” from older individuals to younger individuals.” Or, as Vliet put it, “people over 50 had lived a complete life and we shouldn't waste medical resources on them.”42

In August 2009, a journalist for The Wall Street Journal43 called Emanuel “Obama's Health Rationer-in-Chief,” writing, “True reform, he [Emanuel] argues, must include redefining doctors' ethical obligations.” He meant the obligation of physicians to care for each patient equally — and it appears we’ve arrived at that point.

Steps to Prepare to Care for Yourself and Stand for Freedom

Vliet encourages you not to let fear overwhelm your ability to take action. While hospitals have become “death camps,”44 she believes you must prepare to care for yourself at home. You cannot count on hospitals for individualized care like you could in the past. She advises people to create their own COVID survival kit, in much the same way you might have a tornado or hurricane kit.45

“This is your life. Your life is God's gift to you, it is not the government's to control. That's the fundamental idea that made America different from Marxism, communism, socialism, monarchies and everything else. The government does not own you. You have the right to your bodily integrity,” she said.46

Vliet and Breggin point out that we can all do something in this fight to remain free. They shared several suggestions to help you be prepared and stand for freedom. Vliet points out that David had the stones to kill Goliath, but he wouldn’t have succeeded if he did not use them. Here are some “stones” for you to gather and use as you stand for freedom:

Download information you need to treat illness at home. Truth For Health Foundation,47 has a treatment guide available and several other resources.
Prepare the nutraceuticals and prescription medications from a telemedicine consult that you would want at home if you do get sick.
Use your mind and your intellect to make your own decisions based on science and not what someone else tells you to think.
Make an action plan if you are admitted to a hospital. For example, set up a power of attorney now, get a strong family or friend you trust to act as an advocate, and make a list of the medications and nutraceuticals that you would be taking if you were sick.
Vliet points out that if you were taking medication at home and put that on your admission papers, the hospitals are obligated to continue those medications. If they refuse you can advise them that you have been informed and offer to waive their responsibility if you take the medication. You may need an outside advocate or attorney to ensure you are given the medication.
Stand for freedom in your home and community by refusing the vaccine mandate.
Get involved on a local or national level. Make phone calls, go to your school board meetings or run for the school board. Write emails, donate to organizations that are fighting the mandate, march in protest or share the information with family and friends.

In the video Breggin ends the interview by reminding the listener that:48

"Since the Founding Fathers and Mothers of this country, no generation, except perhaps the Civil War, has had the opportunity to stand up for freedom as we do. And, at no time since the founding has the democracy itself been under such threat, from in this case the global predators and ultimately the Chinese communists and Marxism."

Horrific CIA Experiments & Programs Exposed by Victim

The Central Intelligence Agency has been conducting horrific programs involving mind control, sexual abuse, psychological terrorism and more, author and self-declared survivor of these schemes Dr. Juliette Engel tells The New American magazine's Alex Newman in this interview from the Red Pill Expo. Dr. Engel, who said she was sucked into this world by her father, explained that the "satanic" programs and experiments such as MK Ultra have roots in Nazi Germany and the New World Order. Later, after Engel broke free from the evil, she moved to Russia and helped rescue human-trafficking victims.

Rasmussen poll claims most Democrats support imprisoning the unvaccinated in concentration camps

(Natural News) Our country faces a serious threat from within.

A new Rasmussen poll has found that most Democrat voters are in favor of extreme punishments for people who refuse to get “vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19).

By party breakdown, a whopping 55 percent of Democrats say they support imposing fines on people who refuse to comply with jab mandates. Amazingly (if these polls are to be believed) 19 percent of Republicans said they, too, support fines.

Twenty-five percent of Independents, meanwhile, responded that they support tyrannizing the unvaccinated.

The Heartland Institute survey also asked how voters perceive Tony Fauci, with just 21 percent of Republicans saying they approve of him. An incredible 75 percent of Democrats, comparatively, just love Fauci.

When it comes to the prospect of kidnapping children from their unvaccinated parents, 29 percent of Democrats say they would be all for a policy like this.

Another question asked how voters feel about Joe Biden’s jab mandate for all employees of companies with 100 or more workers. Just 22 percent of Republicans agree with this, while 78 percent of Democrats say they want Biden to inject workers by force.

The full poll results are available online.

Some Democrats are waking up and standing in opposition to covid tyranny

Should the unvaccinated be forced to stay at home using force if necessary? Nearly half of all Democrats said yes to a question along these lines, as well as to one about attaching Mark of the Beast-like tracking devices on the unvaccinated.

“President Biden’s strongest supporters are most likely to endorse the harshest punishments against those who won’t get the COVID-19 vaccine,” reported the pollster.

“Among voters who have a Very Favorable impression of Biden, 51% are in favor of government putting the unvaccinated in ‘designated facilities,’ and 54% favor imposing fines or prison sentences on vaccine critics.”

Rasmussen emphasized that the near half-and-half division on many of the issues addressed in the poll are the result of “deep partisan divisions” between the “left” and the “right.”

Early on in the plandemic, the push for heavy restrictions mostly came from Democrats and RINOs (Republicans in name only) who supported the status quo being pushed by the likes of Fauci.

President Donald Trump, meanwhile, bucked the trend by recommending a more freedom-based approach to lockdowns, face masks, and the vaccines he helped create through Operation Warp Speed.

Things are beginning to change, though, as even some Democrats are starting to question the constantly shifting narrative coming from government officials.

“After two excruciatingly long years, likely voters are beginning to question the federal government’s handling of the pandemic,” says Chris Talgo, senior editor and research fellow at The Heartland Institute.

“First and foremost, likely voters are beginning to sour on Dr. Anthony Fauci, who seems to have lost credibility after countless flip-flops.”

Talgo went on to explain that nearly half of all Democrats are against Biden’s jab mandates, believing them to be more about expanding the power of the federal government as opposed to stopping the spread of the virus.

The general consensus, Talgo says, is that the federal government should do less – a lot less – not more.

“I won’t pay their fines,” tweeted someone in response to the poll results. “I won’t take their vaxx. I’ll live 100% outlaw if need be. #blackmarketjobspay.”

“New York restaurants now have stricter requirements than what our southern border does,” wrote another. “Reflect on that one for a moment.”

“So Georgia can’t host the MLB All-Star Game, but the CCP can host the Olympics?” added Laura Ingraham, pointing out the hypocrisy of it all.

Police State: New Hampshire Fights To Remove Children After Parents Treated Them With Ivermectin

Soviet Canada: Doctor Locked in Psych Ward Who Exposed Stillbirth Explosion in ‘Vaccinated’ Moms

Rumble — In November, Dr. Melvin Bruchet and his friend, Dr. Daniel Nagase, filed criminal charges against elected and appointed BC government officials over a possible conflict of interest regarding provincial lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and vaccine passports. The doctors exposed a severe spike in stillbirths at a Vancouver hospital. The women were injected with the experimental Covid "vaccine" in all cases. In December 2021, the Canadian government targeted Dr. Melvin Bruchet and unlawfully placed him in detention against his will.

The Soviet Union often claimed that dissidents had “mental issues” and would lock them up in asylums, keep them drugged, and eventually they would die.

In November, Dr. Melvin Bruchet and his friend, Dr. Daniel Nagase, filed criminal charges against elected and appointed Candian government officials in British Columbia over a possible conflict of interest regarding provincial lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and vaccine passports. The doctors exposed a severe spike in stillbirths at a Vancouver hospital. The women were injected with the experimental Covid “vaccine” in all cases. In December 2021, reminiscent of the Soviet Union’s treatment of dissidents, the Canadian government targeted Dr. Melvin Bruchet and unlawfully placed him in detention against his will.

Stillbirths Explode in Canada 

In November 2021, RAIR Foundation USA reported that stillbirths in fully “vaccinated” women are exploding in Canada,

….in Waterloo, Ontario, 86 cases have been reported in six months, compared to typically five to six per year, says doctor Daniel Nagase. “That is highly unusual.”

At Lions Gate Hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia, 13 stillbirths were recorded over 24 hours, reported the doctor. Until recently, Dr. Nagase worked at an Alberta hospital but said he was fired after treating three covid patients with ivermectin at the Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre.” 

Soviet Style Detention

On December 8, Dr. Bruchet had an argument with a tenant over loud music in his apartment building (a relatively common occurrence). It is unclear whether the tenant reported him as a candidate for the mental health act or someone else. Suddenly, Dr. Bruchet was targeted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).

While Dr. Nagase was being interviewed in his home, three RCMP squad cars and six RCMP officers descended on Dr. Bruchet and hauled him off in handcuffs for a “psych evaluation.” 

The first diagnosis made by the hospital was “frontal lobe dementia” after taking a PET scan. According to Dr. Nagase, such a situation normally does not warrant detention – just diagnosis and sending the individual home. Since Bruchet is 81, anyone outside the situation might assume that was correct. It was not.

Dr. Nagase was apprised of the situation and managed to get him out of the Psych ward on a day pass with the promise of returning on his own recognizance. Dr. Bruchet returned due to the hospital’s threats they would send the police after him.

The hospital then did a second evaluation and diagnosed him with “mania,” a condition that presumes the person may have outbursts and perhaps even be dangerous. They then took away the doctor’s phone access.

Dr. Nagase was concerned that the hospital might have given him Abilify, a medicine often used to treat mental and mood disorders that should not be given to elderly patients. In addition, the doctor was concerned because Dr. Bruchet was abnormally slurring his words. A common side effect of the powerful anti-psychotic medication.

The Soviet Union notoriously used psychiatric medicine to discredit dissidents. The Soviets often claimed that dissidents had “mental issues” and would lock them up in asylums, keep them drugged, and eventually they would die. How is this any different?

The question remains: was Dr. Bruchet unlawfully detained because he exposed the connection of stillbirths to the Covid vaccines? Or because he argued with his tenant over loud music? Or was Dr. Bruchet’s age a convenient excuse? “Dr. Mel,” as he is affectionately known, practiced medicine for many years in British Columbia.

The following is an exclusive interview with Dr. Sam Dube, a Canadian doctor who informs RAIR of the troubling situation:

Washington State Announces Plans for ‘Strike Force’ to ‘Involuntarily Detain’ Unvaxxed

The Washington State Board of Health may soon amend state law to authorize the involuntary detainment of residents as young as 5 years old in Covid-19 “internment camps” for failing to comply with the state’s experimental vaccine mandate.

“Emergency detention order” would allow citizens to be involuntarily detained and put in isolation and quarantine at the discretion of state health authorities.

The state of Washington may amend a law to allow the forcible detainment of residents into COVID “internment camps” for defying state vaccine mandates.

The proposed revision to the COVID protocol under the Communicable and Certain Other Diseases Act, called WAC 246-100-040, outlines “procedures for isolation or quarantine.”

The amendment would grant local health officers at “his other sole discretion” to “issue an emergency detention order causing a person or group of persons to be immediately detained for purposes of isolation or quarantine.”

Additionally, the measure would allow law enforcement to assist public health officials in detaining residents who refused the COVID injection.

WAC-246-100-040 states that “a local health officer may invoke the powers of police officers, sheriffs, constables, and all other officers and employees of any political subdivisions within the jurisdiction of the health department to enforce immediately orders given to effectuate the purposes of this section in accordance with the provisions of RCW 43.20.050(4) and 70.05.120.”

The “emergency detention order” would allow individuals to be detained “for a period not to exceed ten days.”

This alarming measure comes in tandem with Gov. Jay Inslee’s (D) effort to hire “strike teams” to run quarantine camps, outlined in the state’s governmentjobs.com website, a term that has since been scrubbed from the website sometime after the bulletin was posted in September 2021.

Now the state website says “Isolation and Quarantine Camp Consultant” duties include “Maintaining the readiness of the facility and equipment which includes ensuring contractors have cleaned the facility adequately.”

The so-called “Isolation & quarantine team consultants” will earn $3,294 to $4,286 monthly for their services, according to the website.

Notably, WAC 246-100-040 was certified on October 25, 2019, just months before the COVID-19 pandemic began in January 2020.

Inslee further warned unvaccinated residents on Wednesday that he will soon impose even more harsh COVID restrictions to address the 146% spike in COVID cases despite 68% of Washington’s residents being “fully vaccinated.”

This comes as New York attempts to pass a similar bill allowing Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) to forcibly detain anyone she deems a public health threat.

The bill, called A.416, would “allow the governor or the appropriate health official to order the removal and detention of any person afflicted with a communicable disease in the event that there is a state of health emergency declared by the governor in relation to such disease.”

“[A]ny person or group removed or detained by order of the governor or his or her delegate shall be detained for as long as the department may direct,” the proposed bill states.

As we’ve reported, dehumanizing COVID internment camps are already in use in Australia, with authorities rounding up COVID-positive individuals and putting them in isolation for up to 23 hours a day.

The Washington State Board of Health will hold a virtual public meeting on January 12 to discuss the implementation of W 246-100-040. 

Physician Assistant Scott Miller told The Gateway Pundit that Republicans are being pressured to fight back against the directive at the upcoming virtual meeting.

“If we can persuade this board to do the right thing and put our children first, our state will have hope,” Miller said. “We are desperate for them to uphold the principles that our nation was founded on and preserve the freedom we have as parents and Americans to determine what goes into our children’s bodies.”

“They have already set up the internment camps. I’ve seen photographs of them,” he added.

New York politicians push bill allowing governor to indefinitely detain the unvaccinated on a whim

(Natural News) When they reconvene on Jan. 5, 2022, the New York Senate and Assembly could pass a bill that would allow Gov. Kathy Hochul to detain “cases, contacts, carriers, or anyone suspected of presenting a ‘significant threat to public health'” – meaning the “unvaccinated.”

Bill A416 would allow Hochul near-unlimited power to whimsically target whomever she pleases for pretty much any reason at all, and have her targets hauled off to “Camp Covid” for cleansing and reeducation.

According to reports, the legislation is a “serious risk to the basic liberties of all Americans in the state of New York, including their right to choose whether or not to receive medical treatment and vaccinations related to thus far undetermined contagious diseases.”

In other words, it would not be limited just to the Fauci Flu. Any new disease or public health threat, whether real or imagined, could be used as cover to remove and detain individuals or groups of people through a single order.

All Hochul needs is the individual or group’s name along with “reasonably specific descriptions of the individuals or groups.” From there, the department is free to decide where to put the targets, including at a medical facility or some other facility that they “deem appropriate.”

“The language is purposefully vague,” writes Kay Smythe for The National Pulse.

If Bill A416 passes, any person in New York could be forced at gunpoint by the government to get vaccinated or take drugs

While Bill A416 states that no one shall be held for longer than 60 days at a time, there is a caveat in place to override that in the event of a court order.

“After 60 days, the court is allowed an additional 90 days to consider the detention of an individual, a cycle that can last indefinitely per the opinion of the department,” Smythe explains.

The bill goes on to state that any individual who has been “exposed to or infected by a contagious disease … complete an appropriate, prescribed course of treatment, preventive medication or vaccination.”

The government of New York, in essence, would be allowed to detain and forcibly medicate anyone they wish, under the bill’s provisions. Even someone who is merely “potentially” a threat, as Hochul or some other bureaucrat defines the word “threat,” could be detained and force-vaccinated.

Hochul has already indicated that she is not a friend of health freedom. Immediately after being installed as Andrew Cuomo’s replacement, she announced that any state employee who is fired for refusing the jabs will not be eligible for unemployment insurance.

Now, Hochul is apparently salivating over the prospect of being able to wave her scepter and have unvaccinated New Yorkers forcibly detained, strapped down, injected with who even knows what, and held in a concentration camp for however long the system decides is necessary to eradicate a “disease.”

Even worse is the pre-crime elements to Bill A416, which would allow for a preemptive strike against someone believed to have the capacity to “pose a threat in the future, such as those refusing to receive the COVID-19 vaccination.”

An unvaccinated person could be completely healthy – healthier, in fact, than a vaccinated person – and yet be deemed a potential future threat by the department. Then that unvaccinated person could be hauled off to Camp Covid and possibly never released.

“There is no explicit reference to what types of contagious diseases qualify a person to be removed from public life, detained in a facility, and forced into medical treatment and vaccination,” Smythe further explained.

“Anyone can technically be held in isolation until they are deemed non-contagious, which would also raise questions over whether those carrying HIV / AIDS could be released back into society.”

Inside Look At Australia’s Covid ‘Prison’ Camps Where Suicidal Kids Are Locked In Cells For More Than 23 Hours A Day

BY INFOWARS

SEE: https://americanfaith.com/inside-look-at-australias-covid-prison-camps-where-suicidal-kids-are-locked-in-cells-for-more-than-23-hours-a-day/;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

Australians and visitors to the island who find themselves in Covid quarantine camps are beginning to speak out regarding the poor treatment they are receiving.

For example, an article published by The Guardian on Thursday accused staff at the Northern Territory’s two youth detention centers of leaving children locked in cells for over 23 hours a day.

The report states, “The team also found the young inmates were being denied adequate access to education and medical services due to a lack of staff. Some young people were left in their cells for up to 23 hours and 45 minutes a day awaiting medical assessment for self-harm concerns.”

In another depiction of quarantine camp life, an Australian woman who was forcibly taken to the Northern Territory’s Howard Springs facility filmed a pair of workers threatening to fine her $5,000 for talking to another person through a fence.

“You can’t leave your balcony to go to the fence to talk to somebody else,” a man in full medical PPE told the woman.

The lady filming, 26-year-old Hayley Hodgson, argued that everyone in the camp has already tested negative for Covid which means there is no threat of transmission.

Despite the common-sense argument, camp staff told Hodgson she’d be fined $5,000 if she stepped off her front porch again.

“I’m not here to fight with you, I don’t want to fight with you,” the cowardly staffer muttered.

No wonder five people this week alone have risked $5,000 fines and elongated detentions by escaping Northern Territory camps.

Hayley ended up getting out of the camp after a 14-day detention despite testing negative for Covid three times during her stay.

Staff allegedly offered her Valium at one point to help calm her down.

Hodgson was tossed into a police van and hauled to the camp a few weeks ago after a friend of hers tested positive for Covid and investigators marked her as a close contact after tracking her scooter’s license plate number.

In an interview with Freddie Sayers of UnHerd, Hodgson recalled the moment she was captured.

“So, the police officers blocked my driveway,” she began. “I walked out and I said, ‘what’s going on, are you guys testing me for COVID? What’s happening?’ They said, ‘no, you’re getting taken away. And you have no choice. You’re going to Howard Springs. You either come with us now, and we’ll put you in the back of the divvy van. Or you can have a choice to get a COVID cab.’”

Hayley continued, “I just said, ‘I don’t consent to this. I don’t understand why I can’t just self-isolate at home, like a lot of other people are doing.’ And they just said, ‘we’ve just been told from higher up where to take you. And that’s all that there is.’”

The Australian woman added, “You feel like you’re in prison. You feel like you’ve done something wrong, it’s inhumane what they’re doing. You are so small, they just overpower you. And you’re literally nothing. It’s like ‘you do what we say, or you’re in trouble, we’ll lock you up for longer’. Yeah, they were even threatening me that if I was to do this again, ‘we will extend your time in here.’”

All of this out-of-control government tyranny is taking place in a state with only 290 recorded cases that just recorded its first Covid death on Friday.

(Natural News) Australian authorities have been rounding up terrified indigenous people who tested positive for COVID-19 in the Northern Territory and bringing them to a quarantine camp in Howard Springs in what many are viewing as an extreme overreaction to a small outbreak of the virus in the Aboriginal community of Binjari.

The community, which is situated 16 kilometers southwest of Katherine, is made up of more than 200 people, many of whom live in very close quarters. The government has been controversially testing wastewater there to detect traces of the virus; positive results led to the mobilization of a response team to conduct door-to-door testing and offer people vaccines. They are now reporting they have reached a 100 percent first-dose vaccination rate there, although many are questioning how much of a choice people were given.

Criticism has been flooding in from around the world of the government’s tactic of carting people off to quarantine centers via military trucks. Police Commissioner Jamie Chalker explained that it was a question of practicality, saying: “Wherever we’ve got [residences with] overcrowding, or where it’s just simply not a case where an individual can have access to their own ablutions for example … it does create a limited pool for those to be able to quarantine without going to [Howard Springs].”

He added that they plan to continue with this model.

On November 20, hard lockdowns were instituted for those remaining in the area as Chief Minister Michael Gunner said that residents of both Binjari and Rockhole are no longer allowed to leave their homes for the five reasons other Australians may leave for: going to work or school, exercising, caregiving, buying food or supplies, or getting vaccinated. Now, the only reason they are allowed to leave is for medical treatment.

Around 350 residents are currently under orders not to leave their homes. They are also contending with excessively high temperatures, and some are without power. Chalker said that several people had been slapped with fines of more than AU$5,000 (roughly US$3,600) after getting caught sneaking out of their homes during the night.

There are questions surrounding whether those brought to quarantine camps went willingly. The leader of the Binjari Community Aboriginal Corporation, Deb Aloisi, said that people there were “frightened” by the government’s response.

“They get scared because the Territory health vehicle comes in and the guys are all gowned up and masked up … and a big shield on their face.”

Border rule changes in the Northern Territory

The Northern Territory has instituted dramatic border rule changes that see unvaccinated travelers being banned from entering the region, except for essential personnel and people who live in the territory who are returning from jurisdictions where the virus is not currently present.

People who are arriving from red zones where the virus is present must be fully vaccinated and will be required to quarantine at home for one week. They must take a rapid antigen test when they arrive and return a negative PCR within 72 hours. They must also get tested 5, 8, and 14 days after they have left quarantine and remain in a high vaccination zone away from remote communities and aged care facilities.

Last weekend, thousands of people protested across Australia against the country’s extreme vaccine mandates and other measures. So far, 85 percent of the population has been vaccinated, and the federal and state governments’ emergency restrictions and lockdowns are among the strictest in the world.

EXCERPT:

"According to Mills, Australian military soldiers are physically holding down aboriginals and injecting them with both mRNA (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna) and viral vector DNA (Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca) injections against their will. This is reportedly happening in Binjari, located in Australia’s Northern Territory.

In the video, Mills publicly gave out her phone number for viewers to call her and help come up with a plan to put a stop to this."

Washington State government stealth edits job posting to remove “strike team” from covid quarantine camp ad

BY MIKE ADAMS

SEE: https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-09-21-washington-state-government-stealth-edits-job-posting-to-remove-strike-team-from-covid-quarantine-camp-ad.html;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

(Natural News) The government of Washington State has stealth edited a public job listing that called for hiring “strike team consultants” for an isolation and quarantine facility located in Centralia, WA (see link below). After news about the job listing went viral, the job listing was altered to remove the term “strike team” from the job title as well as the “duties” section of the job description.

The original URL of the job posting also contained the “strike team” term, but it was replaced by a new URL lacking the term. You can see the original URL in this link.

We are also showing screenshots of the original listing below.

As part of the stealth editing, the Washington government also removed “strike team” from the following duties description:

Maintaining the readiness of the isolation and quarantine strike team, facilities, and equipment.

After the job listing was edited, that duty description at first read:

Maintaining the readiness of the facilities and equipment.

Notice that this duty description removed the terms “strike team” as well as “isolation and quarantine.”

That duty description line was later edited yet again to include comments about doing laundry and making beds. So now they want us to believe that a job listing for “strike teams” actually means people who will make beds and do laundry.

Maintaining the readiness of the facility and equipment which includes ensuring contractors have cleaned the facility adequately.  Staff may also be responsible for making beds, doing laundry, and restocking supplies.

Really? They want us to believe this? (Gee, I thought I was joining a kick-ass strike force assault team, and all they have me doing is the f##king laundry!)

See the original job listing screenshots below:

“Strike team” refers to an armed government assault force that uses violence to achieve its goals of medical kidnapping

When governments use the term “strike team,” they are of course referring to a heavily armed assault team that uses violence (or the threat of violence) to achieve its goals. In this case, their goal is obviously medical kidnapping.

The purpose of the “strike team” is to raid the homes of unvaccinated people and force them into quarantine/death camps at gunpoint, after which many will likely be exterminated. Their deaths, of course, will be blamed on “covid.”

Nowhere in the history of any government, anywhere in the world, have “strike teams” sat around folding laundry and making beds, which is the current (laughable) cover story now appearing in the edited job listing. Do they really think we will swallow that one? “Hurry, go get more pillowcases… send in the strike team!”

The fact that government goons in Washington State first posted the job description as a “strike team” ad, and then later tried to surreptitiously remove the term from the listings in order to hide it, reveals a shocking level of deception.

The informed American people already know that governors like Inslee, by interfering with ivermectin and other lifesaving, low-cost medications that could be saving lives right now, are culpable in the deliberate mass deaths of “covid” victims, most of whom are actually victims of the spike protein bioweapons jabs that are falsely labeled “vaccines.”

It’s clear that rogue governments in Australia, New Zealand, France, the UK, and other countries are gearing up for the planned mass extermination of their own populations, with covid death camps under construction and being celebrated as a kind of “final solution” to the pandemic.

In Australia, covid quarantine camp prisoners are threatened with being “gassed” by the police enforcers there:

In the United States, the CDC’s “quarantine stations” map reveals a nationwide network of death camps already in existence. The CDC’s “green zones” document that describes the operating goals of such camps has no plans for any healthy person to leave such facilities while explaining the CDC plans to meet “minimum humanitarian standards” for the operations of such camps.

It’s also clear from that same document that the CDC plans to separate families by force, using strike force teams to remove people from their homes, rip them from their families, and force them into covid death camps against their will.

Adding to the red alert situation for all this, fake president Joe Biden — an illegal imposter waging war against America — recently signed an executive order adding measles to the list of diseases for which a person can be medically kidnapped and thrown into a quarantine death camp.

This means, of course, that the criminal government plans to “diagnose” people with measles — no doubt using fraudulent PCR tests that can fake any infection — in order to kidnap them and throw them into quarantine death camps. There’s little question that political dissidents will suddenly be diagnosed with measles so that this can all be swept under the canopy of “public health.”

Washington Gov. Inslee is a war criminal waging war against the people of Washington, just like Fauci, Biden, Walensky, and others are war criminals waging war against the entire population of the United States. Now all the signs are readily apparent that they are gearing up for mass medical arrests across the country, followed by mass executions and mass graves. There’s little doubt they will also attempt to target unvaccinated people since those are the ones most likely to survive the spike protein culling attempt and very likely engage in resistance against the global government genocide agenda that’s now underway.

Australia IS DONE! - PRISON CAMPS & Food Rationing - Country COLLAPSES Under CRIPPLING TYRANNY!

Josh Sigurdson reports on the shocking level of tyranny in Australia as the government builds camps in the middle of nowhere and begins rationing food from people imprisoned in their homes for completely arbitrary or non-existent reasons (other than to be a totalitarian tyrant).
As Australia restricts basic freedoms and continues to grow into a Chinese-style technocracy, the NSW Health Chief now says people will have to get used to lockdowns and boosters FOREVER.
If people allow this to happen, they are nothing more than blind and foolish. This will only get worse until it's stopped.
Police are beating old men and women in the streets for not wearing masks or having a jab. They are quite literally starving people out and forcing people into camps. At this point, it must be admitted that Australia has fallen. It is once again a giant prison island. An unforgiving, tyrannical police state prison island.
This is coming to a place near you soon. We see it starting in Ireland. We see it in Canada. We see it in Paris, France and in Italy. If you don't fight back, you will succumb to the crippling tyranny like a cattle to the slaughter.

(Natural News) The vaccine holocaust is well underway in Australia, where a disturbing new video depicts Australian covid internment camp police threatening to “gas” an occupant (prisoner) who has already spent 14 days in forced quarantine and wants to be released. A snippet of the video is shown in today’s Situation Update podcast (below), around the 10-minute mark.

What the video appears to confirm is that tyrannical Australian authorities are:

1) Not releasing people after they “serve” a 14-day forced quarantine. (You can check in but you never check out.)

2) Threatening to “gas” prisoners if they don’t obey. It’s not clear from the video whether this “gas” involves gassing someone with tear gas or a Zyklon B-like death gas, but in either case, it is a gross violation of fundamental human rights.

Global human rights organizations are mysteriously silent on all this, and in America, the so-called American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has utterly abandoned civil liberties and is now endorsing vaccine and mask mandates for everyone.

The video from Australia reveals the horrifying mental health consequences of being interned in what is essentially a covid death camp, where one of the occupants on this video explains, “you can’t get air” in the enclosed, sealed rooms. His fellow prisoner is screaming, “Take me somewhere where the walls aren’t caving in,” revealing the mental health consequences of involuntary covid confinement under an authoritarian medical police state.

Completely healthy, innocent people are deemed a public health threat merely for “testing positive” via a fraudulent PCR test

What’s even more disturbing with all this is how the tyrannical Australian government determines which people to medically kidnap and throw into these covid death camps. You merely need to test “positive” via a fraudulent PCR test to be flagged and incarcerated, even if you show no symptoms of sickness and are perfectly healthy.

Based on a fraudulent PCR test, in other words, you can be denied your right to freedom and thrown into a covid internment camp while being subjected to mental and physical torture by the cruel authorities that run the prison camps.

This is already happening in Australia, and this practice will soon be well underway in America as the CDC has already announced its plans for “green zone” covid death camps where no one leaves alive.

We are witnessing the vaccine holocaust accelerate by the day as governments become genocidal terrorists

Under the seductive influence of unlimited power, governments of the world have abandoned every pillar of due process, rule of law or individual liberties and are now functioning as genocidal terrorist organizations carrying out mass extermination operations that openly resemble the Nazi Holocaust of World War II. Yet obedient, gullible human beings continue to somehow believe if they just comply enough, things will return to normal.

“Normal” is a distant memory, long since vanished in the rearview mirror. No government will voluntarily give up power, which is why Australian health authorities are now openly citing the “New World Order” and claiming the covid pandemic will never end. (Which means their tyranny will never end.)

Here’s Australian health minister Dr. Chant — who somehow claims to be human — declaring the “New World Order” is now in control:

No doubt Dr. Chant fully supports the mass gassing of covid death camp prisoners in Australia, because the real goal of the New World Order is, of course, mass extermination of billions of humans followed by complete enslavement of the remaining survivors.

It’s now so abundantly obvious to anyone paying attention that it’s shocking anyone could be oblivious enough not to see this for what it is. Yet Leftists, Democrats and woketards see nothing wrong with covid death camps because it’s all being rolled out under “their” senile president, Joe Biden.

Today’s Situation Update podcast delves into the horrors of the vaccine holocaust and how terrorist governments are now openly waging biological warfare against the human race.

NY Gov. Hochul Reveals 12,000 Undercount in Cuomo’s COVID Death Tally

NY Gov. Hochul Reveals 12,000 Undercount in Cuomo's COVID Death Tally

SEE: https://www.newsmax.com/politics/cuomo-hochul-covid-19-deaths/2021/08/25/id/1033723/;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul promised more government transparency on her first day in office and by day’s end her administration had quietly delivered it by acknowledging nearly 12,000 more deaths in the state from COVID-19 than had been publicized by her predecessor, Andrew Cuomo.

New York now reports nearly 55,400 people have died of COVID-19 in New York based on death certificate data submitted to the CDC, up from about 43,400 that Gov. Cuomo had reported to the public as of Monday, his last day in office.

“We’re now releasing more data than had been released before publicly, so people know the nursing home deaths and the hospital deaths are consistent with what’s being displayed by the CDC,” Hochul said Wednesday on MSNBC. “There’s a lot of things that weren’t happening and I’m going to make them happen. Transparency will be the hallmark of my administration.”

The Associated Press first reported in July on the large discrepancy between the fatality numbers publicized by the Cuomo administration and numbers the state was reporting to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The count used by Cuomo in his news media briefings only included laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 deaths reported through a state system that collects data from hospitals, nursing homes and adult care facilities. That meant the tally excluded people who died at home, hospice, in state prisons or at state-run homes for people living with disabilities. It also excluded people who likely died of COVID-19 but never got a positive test to confirm the diagnosis.

That lower number favored by the Cuomo administration still appeared in the daily update put out by Hochul’s office Tuesday, but with an explanation about why it was an incomplete count.

“There are presumed and confirmed deaths. People should know both,” Hochul said in a Wednesday morning appearance on NPR. “Also, as of yesterday, we’re using CDC numbers, which will be consistent. And so there’s no opportunity for us to mask those numbers, nor do I want to mask those numbers. The public deserves a clear, honest picture of what’s happening. And that’s whether it’s good or bad, they need to know the truth. And that’s how we restore confidence.”

Cuomo’s critics had long charged that he was manipulating coronavirus statics to burnish his image as a pandemic leader.

Federal prosecutors previously launched a probe examining his administration’s handling of data around deaths among nursing home patients. The state, under Cuomo, had minimized its toll of nursing home residents’ deaths by excluding all patients who died after being transferred to hospitals.

Cuomo used those lower numbers last year to erroneously claim that New York was seeing a much smaller percentage of nursing home residents dying of COVID-19 than other states.

The state Assembly Judiciary committee has also been investigating that issue as part of a wide-ranging impeachment probe, and is weighing whether to include those findings in a public report.
