The Rutherford Institute :: The Age of Fear: A Graduation Message for Terrifying Times | By John & Nisha Whitehead |

May 13, 2021

Be a thinking individual. 

Learn your rights. 

Speak truth to power.

Resist all things that numb you. 

Don’t let technology turn you into zombies. 

Help others. 

Give voice to moral outrage. 

Cultivate spirituality, reject materialism and put people first. 

Pitch in and do your part to make the world a better place.

Say no to war. 

Finally, prepare yourselves for what lies ahead. 

The demons of our age—some of whom disguise themselves as politicians—delight in fomenting violence, sowing distrust and prejudice, and persuading the public to support tyranny disguised as patriotism and/or keeping us “safe.” Overcoming the evils of our age will require more than intellect and activism. It will require decency, morality, goodness, truth and toughness. 
...
Wake up, stand up, and make your activism count for something more than politics in a world turned upside down.

...a world turned upside down

The problem with people is that as soon as things "stay the same" for more than five minutes, they project forward that things will continue to "stay the same" right up until the moment they have their world "turned upside down".

Then they change their tune to,

"It's not supposed to be this way!"

We all fall into this trap to some degree. We get used to a routine and go on mental "autopilot" to save wear and tear on the "little gray cells".

This mindset is even recorded in the Bible:

2 Peter 3
3 knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. 4 They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” 

Which scoffers St. Peter roundly chastises in the following verses!

For those with a few miles racked up on the odometer of life, an uncertain future full of inescapable change can be upsetting.

Oh dear! Our plans for a secure retirement are going up in smoke! Where will we go? What will we do?

Humanity periodically goes through catastrophic change and survives as a whole, though individuals do pass "before their time" by human reckoning.

Many deadly plagues have swept through the ancient and modern world.

The Plague of Justinian (15–100 million deaths 541–549 AD)

The Black Death (75–200 million deaths 1346–1353 AD)

The Spanish Flu (17–100 million deaths 1918–1920)

Yet humanity is still here, isn't it?

Every cohort of youth faces the challenges of their time.

World War I
The Great Depression
World War II

Except the near future for all humanity is "upside down world". All who are still in "boots on the ground" mode will get to participate, willingly or not!

We will all face the challenges of the day, not just the young.

Best to learn the forgotten art of helpfulness.

That would be a great start!

Genocidal Maniac Saint Fauci Arises After CNN Proclaims “The World Today Needs A Hitler”

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

...As to what is really causing this socialist outbreak of “mask-hysteria”, this report details, has just been revealed in the leftist Washington Post manifesto “The CDC’s Mask Guidance Is A Mess. Biden Needs To Clean It Up”—wherein it admits that masks have nothing at all to do with preventing the spread of COVID, and reveals that their only purpose is to keep despotic control over the American people—sees this manifesto declaring that: “The Biden administration must admit to the American people that CDC’s guidance was released prematurely and without considering all the implications and unintended consequences”—and sees this manifesto demanding that mask decisions not be left to medical science and facts, because “complex decisions need to involve other agencies and stakeholders”.

Fauci is mocked as the 'Patron Saint of Wuhan' after DC Mayor declares Christmas Eve 'Dr. Fauci Day' | Daily Mail Online

By Luke Kenton For Dailymail.com
23:50 EDT 23 Dec 2020 , updated 03:32 EDT 24 Dec 2020

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser issued the proclamation on Wednesday, marking December 24, 2020 to be 'Dr. Anthony S. Fauci Day' in the District

Fauci is a long time resident of DC and is the director of  the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in addition to being the US' top COVID advisor

Fox News' Tucker Carlson led the charge of outrage against Bowser's proclamation, branding Fauci the 'Patron Saint of Wuhan'

Carlson also sarcastically referred to him as 'Saint Tony' and called him the 'Priest of the COVID cult' who wears a paper mask as his sacred garment

Similar disdain for Bowser’s declaration was shared by users of social media

One user called the idea of Dr. Fauci Day ‘Further proof of left wing insanity...’ while another said 'we already have a savior and his name isn't Anthony' 

More hero worship

DarkSide Hackers Reportedly Closing Down After Retaliation Routs Their Infrastructure | ZeroHedge

SATURDAY, MAY 15, 2021 - 06:39 AM

The hacker group responsible for the ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline that caused fuel shortages in the Southeast US appears to be shutting down after all its recent success, according to WSJ. 

The operator of the ransomware group Darkside, believed to originate in Eastern Europe or Russia, has been unable to access its computer systems to conduct cyber attacks. Associates close to the hacking group said it would disband, citing international pressure from the US, said security research firm FireEye. 
...
This sudden dispersion of the hacking group is suspicious. Who would disband a hack operation for a measly $5 million - that will barely buy a mansion in the Bay Area. 

... more things that make you go hmm. 

They WEREN'T REAL. I talked with hackers on every hacking tor forum I could find and they all said the same thing GOVERNMENT ENTITY. REvil, doppelpaymer those are REAL HACKING GROUPS. darkside? Never even existed on TOR. pic.twitter.com/ZtmztfPXwj

Covid Deaths Plummet as Excess Mortality Falls to Pre-Covid Levels | Mises Wire

Ryan McMaken

Although Anthony Fauci and other government employed technocrats have been unable to provide any explanation at all for it, the fact remains that months after Texas and Florida and Georgia have either abolished or greatly scaled back all social-distancing and mask mandates, cases and deaths are generally declining, and total deaths per million (attributed to covid) remain below what we've seen in states with severe lockdowns. 
...
Don't expect the regime to admit it has been wrong about anything. If anything, it will double down on the usual narrative. It's worked pretty well so far.

"There Is Zero Evidence" - Scientists Question Need For COVID 'Booster Shots' As Vaccine Makers Lock In Sales | ZeroHedge

FRIDAY, MAY 14, 2021 - 05:00 AM

Former Obama Administration CDC head Dr. Tom Frieden was especially vehement: "There is zero, and I mean zero, evidence to suggest that that is the case."

"It's completely inappropriate to say that we're likely to need an annual booster, because we have no idea what the likelihood of that is," Frieden, who now leads the global public health initiative Resolve to Save Lives, said of Pfizer's assertions on boosters.

Vaccine Passports and Medical Paternalism | Mises Wire

05/14/2021
Birsen Filip

The ultimate goal of vaccine passports, which are based on the notion of "health paternalism," is to coerce people into accepting injections of the experimental vaccines that have been incessantly promoted by politicians, mainstream news, and unelected medical experts for many months. 

However, those individuals that are not persuaded to submit themselves to unwanted medical procedures by sophisticated propaganda techniques will be forced to live a "life worse than death" through the suspension of their freedom, as well as the reasonable enjoyment of their lives within their private spheres.
...
In essence, politicians, in cooperation with their unelected health advisors, have managed to gain control over entire societies and reshape them in a failed effort to achieve the common good, while disregarding centuries of progress made by prominent liberal thinkers when it comes to protecting the rights and freedoms of individuals.

Denying Reality Leads to Tyranny and Societal Failure | Mises Institute

Patrick Barron

Pathological policy errors flowed inexorably from a skewed view of reality in both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Once this view of reality was deemed to be above criticism, its champions adopted increasingly tyrannical policies. 
...
Champions of the above denials of reality refuse to discuss whether their view of reality is accurate. All are articles of faith and cannot be questioned. In fact, to question them is considered to be an admission of ignorance, guilt, or perfidy. One wants to destroy Mother Earth, enslave minorities, kill innocent people, and prevent all in society from enjoying unlimited prosperity. It's the old straw man fallacy on steroids.

Furthermore, resources will be expended to pursue these phantoms, and more resources will be expended to protect oneself from being caught in a witch hunt. Society will live in fear--fear of global warming, fear of being branded a racist, fear of contracting a dread disease. Unfortunately, what society does not fear is that our lifetime's savings will be wiped out by inflation made possible by MMT.

A Timeline of "The Great Reset" Agenda - Global Research

How the great reset ideology pitched its tent in the ‘new normal’ camp

By Tim Hinchliffe
15 May 2021

All of a sudden! the great reset narrative that the WEF had been nurturing for six years, found a place to pitch its tent in the “new normal” camp.

“The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world to create a healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous future,” Schwab declared on June 3, 2020.

And that’s where we’re at today.

The Davos elites said they wanted a global reset of the economy many years ago

They role-played what would happen if a pandemic were to occur

And now they’re saying that the great reset ideology is the solution to the pandemic, and it must be enacted quickly

The great reset is a means to an end.

Next on the agenda is a complete makeover of society under a technocratic regime of un-elected bureaucrats who want to dictate how the world is run from the top down, leveraging invasive technologies to track and trace your every move while censoring and silencing anyone who dares not comply.

Canary Islands Kick Up Von Kármán Vortices
May 20, 2015

Theodore von Kármán, a Hungarian-American physicist, was the first to describe the physical processes that create long chains of spiral eddies like the ones shown above. Known as von Kármán vortices, the patterns can form nearly anywhere that fluid flow is disturbed by an object. In this case, the unique flow occurs as winds rush past the tall peaks on the volcanic islands. As winds are diverted around these high areas, the disturbance in the flow propagates downstream in the form of vortices that alternate their direction of rotation.

Satellite sensors have spotted von Kármán vortices around the globe before, including off of Guadalupe Island, near the coast of Chile, in the Greenland Sea, in the Arctic, and even next to a tropical storm.
