This Canadian man spent over $130,000 on an electric vehicle to be a “responsible citizen...During a disastrous family road trip to Chicago, Bala had to have the truck towed, then rented a gas-powered vehicle to complete the trip.

Bala called EVs the “biggest scam of modern times.”

First, between the truck, a charging station for his home, a charging station for work, and an updated electric panel for his home, Bala spent $130,000 to go “green.”..

During the 1,400-mile family road trip to Chicago, Bala and his family were beset with all sorts of problems.

Fox Business reported that “fast charging stations — which only charge EV’s up to 90% — cost more than gas for the same mileage. On the family’s first stop in Fargo, North Dakota, it took two hours and $56 to charge his vehicle from 10% to 90%. The charge was good for another 215 miles.”

Two hours and $56 to charge a vehicle to go 215 miles do not make for a fun road trip.

It was only downhill from there.

Multiple charging stations had malfunctions as the vehicle only had 12 miles of charge left.

“This sheer helplessness was mind-boggling,” Bala explained. “My kids and wife were really worried and stressed at this point. By now it was late afternoon. We were really stuck, hungry, and heartbroken.”

That’s when Bala had the vehicle towed to a Ford dealership and rented a gas-powered car...These are the stories that the “green” activists refuse to share. https://tinyurl.com/4dsyetb7

Gadolinium Toxicity: The MRI Danger No One is Talking About -Jesse Cannone

Chuck Norris and his wife Gena have spent more than $2 million treating her for gadolinium toxicity — a devastating condition they say was caused by the gadolinium contrast dye used in MRI scans she underwent several years ago.

...While the FDA has insisted for years that gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) are only risky for patients with kidney disease, Gena had normal kidney function prior to her MRIs.

And there are a growing number of other people with normal renal function who insist their debilitating chronic symptoms only appeared after they had contrast MRIs.

These symptoms include brain fog, cognitive deficits, burning pain throughout the body, bone pain, joint pain, skin changes and hair loss. Some people also experience tingling and shaking.

Most doctors know absolutely nothing about gadolinium toxicity. They don’t connect the symptoms to the contrast material used in MRIs.

And the FDA has ensured them that gadolinium is harmless...

Mandatory Fun

The opening track of Mandatory Fun is

an ode to the do-it-all handyman and a parody of Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy”.

Handy Lyrics

[Verse 1]

First things first, I'm a craftsman (Craftsman)

Remodelling is my only passion (It's my passion)

And I'm the greatest in the business

Want referrals, yo

My clientèle will bear you witness (Right, right)

I can help when your door jamb sticks (heh?)

There is nothing in the world I can't fix (yeah)

I do tiles, I do stone, I do bricks

Call me, I'll come rushing over with my bag of tricks (bag of tricks)

Where you go when your disposal is rusted (rusted)

Termite problem making you disgusted (yuck)

When your front window is busted (hey hey hey)

Just one name that's always trusted

[Chorus]

I'm so handy, you already know

I'll fix your plumbing when your toilets overflow

I'm so handy, I'll bring you up to code

When your dishwasher's about to explode

[Verse 2]

Now you say that your furnace is needing some service

I'm fully bonded, no need to be nervous

Perhaps you would like a new counter Formica

Maybe I'll hook up this here combo washer-dryer

But all your pipes are antique

Your water pressure's too weak

You got an attic full of dry rot

Because your roof sprung a leak

Your fridge is starting to reek

Your hardwood floors really squeak

But don't you worry I'll just show you my amazing technique

Now let me glue that, glue that and screw that, screw that

Any random chore you got, well I can do that, do that

Or maybe I'll just rewire your house for fun

I got 99 problems but a switch ain't one

[Chorus]

I'm so handy, everyone said so

I'll grout your bathroom, resurface your patio

I'm so handy, I'm the guy to know

When your leaf blower doesn't blow-oh-oh-oh

Yeah, check my big staple gun, my socket wrenches are second to none

[Verse 3]

Still rocking my screwdriver

Got the whole world thinking I'm MacGyver

Your heating bills are shocking

I can solve that with some duct tape and some caulking

Your house is a disaster, huh?

Need a guy who's a master with the plaster, huh?

Let me be your stripper

Taking off lacquer, no one does it quicker

7/10/2022

So are we supposed to just think it’s just another coincidence? The WEF’s Cyber Polygon 2022 meeting took place on July 8, 2022… and simultaneously Canada was experiencing its worst Internet outage in decades…

On July 8, 2022, Canada’s phone services, 911, credit card/debit machines were down for several hours…

Coincidentally, the crash occurred on the same day than the 4th edition of Klaus Schwab’s Cyber Polygon…

Coincidentally, the participating companies had to undergo a targeted attack on their hybrid cloud infrastructure.

Coincidentally, this year’s primary theme of the conference was digital resilience in the cloud age.

And coincidentally, this Russian-based, WEF-backed annual cybersecurity exercise Cyber Polygon was first postponed to a later date…

Don’t forget that back is March 2022, the World Economic Forum removed Cyber Polygon from its webpage, preparing us for their CYBER WAR.

That’s just another coincidence?

As reported by the main partner bi.zone, Cyber Polygon 2022 took place on July 8. The fourth international cybersecurity training focussed on digital resilience in the cloud age.

Wireless Technology:Ultra Convenient. Endlessly Entertaining. Criminally Instigated.Terminally Pathological.

By Peter G. Tocci

The intent of this article is to show that wireless technology is, without remedy other than termination, one of the most devastating environmental and health threats—and threats to personal liberty—ever created.

Included is discussion of the criminal deceit employed by U.S. Government agencies, concealing awareness (beginning at least a decade prior to marketing) and ignoring/dismissing voluminous scientific evidence, of severe health impacts of radiation such as that emitted by wireless infrastructure and devices.

Peer-reviewed studies were published from the 1950’s up to the initial wireless rollout in Orwellian 1984 (with many thousands since). It follows that the industry also practiced deceit at the outset. It suppressed findings from, and attempted to discredit, a 5-year study project it was forced by circumstance to fund and initiate nearly a decade later (3G era).

Specific human-health effects of mobile telecom and WiFi are identified. Emphasized, however, is the far-reaching, quite probably fatal, threat to environment – all species, with the possible exception of some microorganisms...

“Five Eyes” Intelligence Agencies

Behind

Drive Against Chinese Telecom Giant Huawei.

to “co-ordinate

banning” Huawei from 5G mobile phone networks

By Nick Beams

Global Research, December 14, 2018

Evidence has come to light that US operations against the Chinese telecommunications giant HuaWei (华为) and the arrest and detention of one of its top executives, Meng Wanzhou, to face criminal charges of fraud brought by the US Justice Department are the outcome of a coordinated campaign by the intelligence agencies of the so-called “Five Eyes” network.

According to a major report published in the Australian Financial Review (AFR) yesterday, the annual meeting of top intelligence officials from countries in the network—the US, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada

—held last July

decided to “co-ordinate banning” Huawei from 5G mobile phone networks.

The two-day meeting,

held in the Canadian capital, Ottawa,

decided

that the intelligence chiefs should spend time publicly explaining “their concerns” about China.

In the months that followed “an unprecedented campaign” has been waged by the five members of the network “to block the tech giant Huawei from supplying equipment for their next-generation wireless networks” which has now led to the arrest of Meng in Canada.

...Other evidence

of the way in which the US intelligence and military apparatus

is driving

the attack on Huawei and Chinese technology companies more broadly

has been revealed

in an article published in the Financial Times yesterday.

It cited a leaked memo, “apparently written by a senior National Security Council official” warning about the implications of the rise of Huawei to become the world’s biggest supplier of telecommunications equipment and that it was leading the field in the development of 5G.

“We are losing it,” the memo said. “Whoever leads in technology and market share for 5G deployment will have a tremendous advantage towards … commanding the heights of the information domain.”

The memo said 5G was “by no means simply a ‘faster 4G’” but was “a change more like the invention of the Gutenberg press” as it would bring faster speeds, lower lead times between the network and the device and had a much larger capacity to transfer data.

These developments, the article said, will underpin self-driving cars, artificial intelligence and machine-to-machine communications, and will “transform the way everything from hospitals to factories operate.”

China was far ahead in preparing for 5G which requires more base stations than existing networks and had almost 2 million cell sites in early 2018, ten times the number in the US. According to the Deloitte consultancy there are 5.3 sites for every 10 square miles in China compared to 0.4 in the US.

These figures make clear the reason for the ferocity of the US economic war against China. It fears that its economic and military supremacy is under direct threat and is determined to take all measures considered necessary to counter China’s rise.

We Have Met the Enemy and He is Us — Will the Navy Learn From Tragic Collisions?

Posted on August 29, 2017 by Rick Spilman

Two high tech guided missile destroyers charged with protecting the fleet from incoming missiles somehow failed to avoid collision with two slow-speed commercial vessels. Tragically, seventeen sailors died in the collisions. Some immediately blamed cyber-hacking,  although a Navy investigation has turned up zero evidence to support the claim.  Now, the focus is on more prosaic and avoidable causes — inadequate training, sleep deprivation, and poor ship management.

The Navy Times put it simply —

“Maybe today’s Navy is just not very good at driving ships.”

They write: “The problem is years in the making. Now, the current generation of officers rising into command-level billets lacks the skills, training, education, and experience needed to operate effectively and safely at sea, according to current and former officers interviewed by Navy Times.” ..

The USS Fitzgerald Is At Fault. This Is Why — Commentary by gCaptain’s John Konrad

Posted on June 20, 2017 by Rick Spilman

gCaptain’s Captain John Konrad has a excellent post today that describes in detail why he believes that the destroyerUSS Fitzgerald was at fault in its recent collision with the container ship ACX Crystal.  He suggests a simple rule for avoiding collisions with Navy warships is missing: “If it’s grey stay away.”

Konrad details the likely communications failures on the Fitzgerald, which are endemic on most Navy ships. He also describes the difference in training and focus of the merchant versus the naval captain, as well as the resources available to and responsibilities of each. And, no, he does not argue that the USS Fitzgerald was solely at fault. As he points out, “Under COLREGS, whenever two ships touch each other, both ships are to blame.”

The Witches developed the technique of flying close to their intended targets,

then cutting their engines.

Silently they would glide to their targets and release their bombs.

[...a rustling sound above, almost like wind through a broomstick.

Before you can investigate,

the darkness lights up with a blinding flash and a deafening explosion.

The Night Witches have struck again!

...The planes’ tiny engines ... tended to stall easily,

requiring the pilot

to climb out

and turn the propeller by hand

to get it started again.

Re: Anyone else like the old way better?

hmmm, if you get a job in the parts dept at any German auto dealership,

you'll get an eyeful,nay a bellyfull of bags of electrical/electronic parts that are 'given' out like candy during routine servicing...blew my mind, as was brainwashed by dear old dad, who praised teutonic iron [he had a ford]...at least Lucas relays et al didn't require a bank loan.

EPA Barred From Getting Advice From Scientists

November 22, 2014 | by Stephen Luntz

Under a bill that has passed the US House,

the people best qualified to say whether a chemical is dangerous will not be allowed to do so

A bill passed through the US House of Representatives is designed to prevent qualified, independent scientists from advising the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They will be replaced with industry affiliated choices, who may or may not have relevant scientific expertise, but whose paychecks benefit from telling the EPA what their employers want to hear...

Take THAT, hated food! It's OVER, tedious chewing! Soylent strikes back with version 1.1

yikes! taste is the least problem :

An in-depth scientific review of sucralose (Splenda) reveals an extensive list of safety concerns, including toxicity, DNA damage, and heightened carcinogenic potential when used in cooking

When heated, it releases chloropropanols, which belong to a class of toxins known as dioxins. Dioxin—a component of Agent Orange—is among the most dangerous chemicals known to man

Sucralose can destroy as much as 50 percent of the microbiome in your gut. What’s worse, it appears to target beneficial microorganisms to a greater extent than pathogenic and other more detrimental bacteria

Both animal and human studies have shown that Splenda alters glucose, insulin and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) levels, thereby promoting weight gain, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes...

'Bill Gates on GM foods, vaccines ...'

In the video above, Bill Gates states at 0:11:

"Over this decade, we believe unbelievable products can be made

both inventing new vaccines and making sure they get to all the children that need them."

At 0:20 he continues:

"We could cut the number of children who die every year

from about 9 million to half of that if we have success on it."

Now here is the statement straight from the source which should not leave any doubts

on the intention of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Listen carefully at 0:28:

"The benefits are in terms of reducing sickness,

reducing the population growth. It really allows a society to take care of itself once you've made that intervention."
