“The German Empire consists of a small sausage factory in Tanganyika”: Problems in Popular Conceptions of Empire and Imperial Germany

| Introduction |
Should the German people renounce the chance of growing stronger and of securing elbow room for their sons and daughters, because fifty or three hundred years ago some tribe of Negros exterminated its predecessors or expelled them or sold them into slavery, and has lived its useless existence on a strip of land where ten thousand German families may have a flourishing existence and thus strengthen the very sap of our people? - Dr. Paul Rohrback, Der Deutsche Gedanke in der Welt, 1912.
Imperialism is often a sadly contentious topic. A system which brought racism and death on such a scale ought to be entirely repudiated. Yet, in 2020 there are still holdouts. Popularly there are figures such as Niall Ferguson or Jacob Rees-Mogg who play apologetics for the British Empire. While the defense of the British Empire forwarded by figures such as these is disgusting, my aim today is to talk about a different kind of Imperialistic defense that often centers around conceptions of the German Empire. This defense of Imperialism is dangerous as it whitewashes the past and the very real pain caused by Imperial Germany. The conception of German Imperialism being less harsh or severe than that of other powers is rooted in the idea that their colonies were not large and that they didn’t control the colonies for very long. Make no mistake, German Imperialism was not kind. It was not benign. It led to famine, suffering, and even genocide.
Whataboutism is not a defense for this. It does not matter if other Imperial states were also committing atrocities. It does not make any of them better and is in effect utilizing black suffering to silence criticism of white Europeans.
The title quote comes from the final episode of 1989’s Blackadder Goes Fourth, a comedy series set in the First World War written by Richard Curtis and Ben Elton. Blackadder and his comrades were having a discussion as to why they were fighting when the patriotic and misguided character George spoke up that it was about German “Empire Building”. Captain Blackadder, our main character, responds that German Imperialism couldn’t have been the cause as the German Empire contained only a “a small sausage factory in Tanganyika” but also that the British had been building an Empire. The purpose of this dialogue was to highlight at least some of the “slither into war” historiography and assign “blame” equally for the war. The July Crisis historiography that Blackadder plays with is not today’s subject. It’s Blackadder’s defense of the German Empire that is and what that defense represents.
| The German Empire |
I see tomorrow a great future brought to Germany, I see my Fatherland at the height of its power as the Empire of Europe – a goal we can all be happy to die for. - A young character in a piece of First World War German youth literature
What exactly is an Empire? I subscribe to the definition used by Robert Gerwarth & Erez Manela for their edited volume Empires at War: 1911-1923 which defines Empire as “an inclusive and open concept that describes a polity whose territories and populations are arranged and governed hieratically in relation to the imperial center”. Put in simpler terms it means a “state” which has organized colonies and peoples in a hierarchy which places the metropole at its core, with the colonial possessions (of all stripes) supporting the metropole. This definition allows us to move past the simple conception of needing overseas colonies and allows us to truly consider states such as Austria-Hungary as an Empire. It also allows for us to view the German Empire in Europe in that same mode.
| Breadth of Empire |
The world is being divided … With time we will inevitably need more space; only by the sword will we be able to get it. It will be up to our generation to achieve this. It is a matter of our existence. - Leutnant Franz Xavier von Epp, en route to South West Africa in 1904
Put simply, Germany’s empire wasn’t just a single “sausage factory”. Its overseas colonies included: parts of Papua New Guinea, German Marianas, Samoa, Togo, Cameroon, modern day Namibia, modern day Tanzania, among other modern states. The population of these combined overseas colonies was well over 11 million people. Its continental Empire had a population of over 64 million people, with at least 2.4 million being ethnically Polish and during the First World War, with their conquests in the East, the Germans would increasingly treat Eastern Europe as a space of colonization. Additionally, regions such as Alsace-Lorraine were treated in a manner similar to colonies. It is safe to say that the German Empire the metropole ruled over millions of Colonial subjects. A common point about the German Empire is that it was not important as it did not provide much economically to the Reich, however, as Heather Jones argues – this is a limited interpretation that ignores the strategic and symbolic value such an overseas Empire had.
| Common Defenses of German Imperialism |
The German actions in German SW Africa were heavy handed, but A) not in line with how other German colonies were managed, indicating that the Herero genocide was more a reflection of the local military commander than policy, B) There was significant disapproval of this outcome in Berlin, and C) Sadly, not all that remarkable in the context of general European conduct in African colonies - Reddit user in a deleted AskHistorians answer
Some common defenses of the German Empire include the empire was small and that they were denied what was rightfully theirs echoing the rhetoric of German colonial advocates in the 19th and 20th Century. Contemporaneously this is clearly rooted in the idea that Germany’s empire wasn’t large, historically it was rooted in the competition over overseas colonies, coaling stations, trade, etc…
But what about those who do know about German colonies say? The former colonies would have been better off as German colonies and that the Germans only made some “mistakes”. This is denialism of imperial crimes. This meme implies that Alsace-Lorraine was rightfully German, rather than an area with a distinct ethnic heritage and completely ignores both contemporary German views of Alsatians and Lorrainers and views of Alsatians and Lorrainers themselves. Looking to expand the Empire makes the Kaiser a “chad”, while King Georg V is a “virgin” for not expanding the British Empire (this is problematic in regards to the British Empire as well). Neo-Nazis openly waving the Imperial flags and symbols around are great for people who defend the German Empire. The Herero-Nama Genocide gets brought up? Well, the British were worse you see (and the fun Genocide Olympics that followed).
It is safe to say that people continue to defend the German Empire in 2020. They utilize a variety of methods in their defense, most of them rooted in the idea that German Colonies were not that large or “that bad”, and if that fails the defense falls back on whataboutism. Here I provided examples of whataboutism being provided in regards to both the British and Belgians. So lets talk about that supposedly small, and not as bad as other Empires, the German Empire.
| Southwest and East Africa |
I gladly express to you that you have to the fullest extent justified my faith in your knowledge and military experience, which moved me to appoint you as the commander of the Schutztruppe in South West Africa in difficult times. I wish to express my Imperial gratitude and my warm acknowledgement of your excellent accomplishment by conferring on you the award, Pour le Mérite.... - Kaiser Wilhelm II on awarding General von Trotha the Pour le Mérite.
One of the saddest events in German colonial history is the Herero-Nama Genocide that was conducted from 1904-1907. The German government only recognized it as such fairly recently, in 2015, but it was long overdue. The Herero peoples rose up against the German colonists due to the cruel punishments, rape, and murder that were commonplace towards the Herero people. In response, General Lothar von Trotha was posted to South-West Africa and he intended to kill every last Herero man, woman, and child. This is his “extermination order”.
I, the great general of the German soldiers, send this letter to the Hereros. The Hereros are German subjects no longer. They have killed, stolen, cut off the ears and other parts of the body of wounded soldiers, and now are too cowardly to want to fight any longer. I announce to the people that whoever hands me one of the chiefs shall receive 1,000 marks, and 5,000 marks for Samuel Maherero. The Herero nation must now leave the country. If it refuses, I shall compel it to do so with the 'long tube' (cannon). Any Herero found inside the German frontier, with or without a gun or cattle, will be executed. I shall spare neither women nor children. I shall give the order to drive them away and fire on them. Such are my words to the Herero people
While Von Trotha would clarify that they weren’t to shoot at the women and children, they were only to drive them into the Omeheke desert where they would die of starvation and thirst. His intent was to murder the entirety of the Herero people. In practice, the orders were interpreted to even include the murder of women and children. Hendrik Campell, a Baster man in command of a troop of Basters working with the Germans witnessed, as an example,yhea (Content Warning for graphic description) After the fight was over, we discovered eight or nine sick Herero women who had been left behind. Some of them were blind. Water and food was left with them. The German soldiers burnt them alive in the hut in which they were laying.. This was typical of the mass murder seen in South-West Africa. Additionally, “Racial Science” intersected with the Genocide as German Anthropologists raced to study the dying Herero and Nama peoples. Herero women were forced to clean the skulls of dead Herero people, so that they could be shipped back to Germany and studied. Other “scientists” studied the Herero in the concentration camps, as they were dying of disease and starvation.
A common argument about the Herero-Nama genocide is that the German Government and Kaiser were unaware of what was going on. That is false. Firstly, General von Trotha was brought to South-West Africa due to his reputation of brutality in East Africa. Secondly, even if the order did not directly come from the Kaiser (and there is debate over whether or not it did), the German government knew the genocide was ongoing and continued to give Von Trotha what he requested. The German General staff told the German Chancellor, at the time Bernhard von Bülow, that “His [Von Trotha’s] plans to wipe out the entire nation or to drive them out of the country are meeting with our approval”. Jeremy Sarkin quotes Jan-Bart Gewald as saying that the ‘personal involvement of the German Kaiser Wilhelm II, in deciding how the war was to be fought in German South West Africa, signaled the highest authorization and endorsement for acts committed in the name of Imperial Germany’. The Imperial German government is responsible for Genocide.
Genocidal actions were not just limited to South-West Africa, however. Even in other parts of the German Empire, actions which bordered on the line of Genocidal occurred. In response to the “Maji-Maji” Rebellion in 1905, the German leadership instituted a scorched earth policy which led to lasting famine, an estimated 300,000 Africans died as a result. Even before this war, which constituted the interests of 120 ethnic groups of African peoples, the Germans were extremely harsh in East Africa. Between 1891 and 1897 there were a total of sixty-one “penal expeditions” carried out by Colonial military forces, and not always with authorization. These expeditions included public executions of Africans, public beatings, and the public chaining of prisoners. The violence was not curbed before the First World War, and in fact in many cases rose. There were 315 cases of violent public punishment in Cameroon in 1900. In 1913 that had risen to 4,800 cases. The authors of German Colonialism: A Concise History argue that the official figures were likely higher in both periods.
In Africa, German Colonialism was not just a “sausage factory” in Tanganikyia. It constituted a massive amount of land where the German colonists ruled over a massive number of African peoples. German rule was at times genocidal, and always brutal. This can not be downplayed. It can not be made into a “whatabout” argument. The facts of German colonialism need to be tackled head on.
German Colonialism was not just limited to Africa.
| Alsace-Lorraine |
If you are attacked, then make use of your weapon; if you stab such a Wackes in the process, then you'll get ten marks from me. – Leutnant Günter Freiherr von Forstner, 1914
Alsace-Lorraine was taken by the German Empire at the end of the Franco-Prussian war. It was not on the road to “full integration” with the Reich, and was treated in many ways as a colony. Alan Kramer argues that Alsace-Lorrainers would have preferred republican autonomy, which was impossible under German rule. The Germans prohibited the speaking of the Alsatian dialect in schools, even in private, and there was a perceived lack of French language instruction. The "Wackes" were looked down upon by German authorities, epitomized in the infamous “Zabern Affair” of 1913. During the First World War Alsace-Lorrainers were treated as unreliable and potentially treasonous, and within the territory civil liberties were suspended. It was treated similarly to occupied enemy territory and not as “German Clay”.
Alsace-Lorraine then, can be broadly construed as a “colony” of Imperial Germany. It and its citizens were treated as lesser and they were not given the autonomy that many Alsace-Lorrainers felt they should have had. The German Empire existed both close to home, and far abroad. However, Alsace-Lorraine was treated lightly compared to Germany’s other European colonies.
| Eastern Europe and Ober Ost |
Exactly as in the days of our medieval colonization, even today the superiority of the German plow is evident over the un-German [undeutschen] ‘Hake.’ The Lithuanian ‘Zocha,’ only a hook covered with iron, must make way for the swing plow introduced from Germany. - Ober Ost Press Department, 1917
Eastern Europe would be marked forever by the policy of Genocide and Colonialism that the Nazi state embarked on in 1939. However, even before this there had been attempts by the Imperial German state to effectively “colonize” Eastern European lands and bring with them “kultur” to enlighten the native peoples. The fact that the German state and military administration looked down on the people of Eastern Europe is clear, embodied by one official stating “Human life does not count for much in Russia”.
In areas of Imperial Germany inhabited by the Polish, the German state embarked on a policy of “internal colonization” in which the “east” was viewed similarly to the “Wild West” in the United States. 120,000 Ethnic Germans were settled on land bought by the Government in the “Prussian East”. This number, while it may seem small, was many more than the number of Ethnic Germans who had settled in other regions of the German Empire. It was here that Lebensraum was born, and that Ludendorff wished to “ethnically cleanse” the “Polish Border Strip” to make way for German settlers. This would involve forcing 2 million ethnic Polish and Jewish persons from their homes. He envisioned, somehow, of causing this mass of people to “emigrate to the United States”. Adam Tooze argues that this was because Ludendorff assumed that the war would not be the last, and that there would be an even larger confrontation with the western powers. A Colonial view of the “East” started to take shape, and the Ober Ost regime has been described as “proto-colonial”.
The goals of Ober-Ost were twofold and entirely colonial. The first was economic extraction for the better of the German Reich and war machine. Lumber, horses, domesticated animals, and crops were all requisitioned for the German Empire. The other half was the “civilizing” mission where the peoples of Eastern Europe would be enlightened and lifted up through German civilization and culture, one extreme example being the “sanitary police” that would inspect people’s homes for cleanliness as one of the stereotypes the Germans had was that of Eastern Europeans being naturally dirty and unclean. Ludendorff, showcasing how Eastern Europeans were viewed, once remarked “the poor, lice-infested Lithuanian towns”.
Indeed, beyond simply viewing the natives of Eastern Europe as unwashed masses, they viewed them as backwards, “parasitic and incapable of real work”. The Ober Ost administration proclaimed “If one could breed the people to order, cleanliness, honesty, punctuality, and duty (which is not the least of the problems faced here, which would have to be taken up and will not be easy and simple to solve) this area could become a bread basket of wheat and cattle, wood and wool, of the very highest value”.
Vejas Gabriel Lulevicius wrote that,
According to Kurland’s chief, this was the last chance in world history to ‘‘create truly German land.’’ Kurland ‘‘was ideal settlement land,’’ which ‘‘we now only need to hold and populate in order to possess a new, complete, and valuable piece of Germany!’’
Ober Ost was as colonial as one could get and was marked by colonial practices towards native inhabitants. Forced labor, better called slavery, was the norm. From 1916, all men and women, including the elderly and sick, were subject to being called up for forced labor. If you refused, you were imprisoned for 5 years. The administration had the right to draft these forced laborers “without pay”, which was often done. Furthermore, these laborers were often “rounded up in raids”.
Forced laborers were made to work on a starvation diet – being fed 250 grams of bred and a liter of soup. Disease was rampant and they were forced to work in the cold without suitable clothing. They lived in unheated barracks and were locked in at night. Many of these forced laborers died as a result of the conditions. While these forced labor battalions were formally dissolved at the end of September 1917, many continued to operate as they had been designated as “volunteers”. This was the experienced of civilians under German occupation in Eastern Europe.
Forced labor was not the only mark of German rule in the proto-colonial east. An unequal system of law was also the norm. In Lithuania, the natives were held to a 1903 Russian legal code – but it was administered in German which the Lithuanians more often than not didn’t speak. On the other hand, Germans were held to German law. Additionally, the German judges were not held to precedent and procedure, and more often than not was simply enforcing the orders of the Ober Ost administration. Some of these orders including regulating days that baking could occur, curfews, movement, and even cleanliness. Many did not understand what they were being punished for, as the orders were not translated at first. Eventually, they were, but the translations were notoriously bad (on infamous one read “The German excrement shitted” instead of “The German court judged”).
However, the Ober Ost administration solved this by having laws go into effect as soon as they appeared in German, an understanding by the native populations was not necessary. Non-Germans faced crippling fines for minor infractions and death sentences infractions such as owning a weapon. Public corporal punishment of men and women was frequent, and those arrested faced torture in prison by the German gendarmes who were led by General Rochus Schmidt, a former colonial soldier. Many of the gendarmes were older soldiers, and they were infamously abusive, many people were whisked away to prison for months without charge.
Ober Ost constitutes a major part of the German Empire. While not as infamous as other aspects of German colonialism, it is another point against the idea that the German Empire was small, and that it was relatively harmless. Those under the occupation of the Central Powers during the First World War were not treated well, and this is a pattern derived, at least in part, from Colonial concepts of conquest and rule.
| Conclusion |
Its really the other way around. Germany was compared to other colonizers pretty fair and not that brutal. They even spent more on the colonies than they got out of it. Germanys colonial interests werent so big either way. Its similar to eastern Europe. They wantet the coal and the food of that region. No interests in terrorising the people or settling there - Reddit user, November 2020.
German Imperialism was not, as Captain Blackadder once uttered, simply limited to a “small sausage factory”. It was not any kinder or gentler than other Imperial powers. It committed Genocide. It oppressed peoples in Africa, Eastern Europe, the Pacific, and Asia. There needs to be a fundamental reworking of how German imperialism is discussed in popular discourse. Many can claim that the German Empire wasn’t as bad as the Nazis, but that’s about as low of a bar as you can get. One of the themes that ran through German colonialism was that of Lebensraum, first coined in 1901 but as a theory had developed in the 1890s. The idea of forging a new “Volk”, whether in Africa or the East was prominent among Colonial advocates. This idea would later be picked up by the Nazi party, and there were many colonialists who became ranking members of the Nazi party. It’s dangerous to view the German Empire as small and almost pointless, because the truth of the very real suffering it brought is silenced.

“For the many who have been doing your part, you may be asking, what more can I do? Be the voice of support and encouragement for those who may be wavering in their resolve.” – Dr. Bonnie Henry.
Feel free to share this post, or copy and paste, in whole or any part of it.

LOCAL:
· 82 cases among New West residents in the previous week.
· No new school exposures in New Westminster since that of the Queensborough Middle School on January 11th.
· Current outbreaks: Royal City Manor, declared Jan 21; Royal Columbian Hospital, declared Jan 20.
· The Rio Theatre in Vancouver has converted into a sports bar.
· The theatre is dealing with a full closure of movie theatres. But as restaurants and bars can remain open with safety protocols, the theatre is seeking other ways to do business. The move does show that the Rio cannot do business as a theatre right now, but can meet the safety requirements to operate as a sports bar.
· There are differences though. The theatre has to actually meet the requirements for a bar, such as taking orders from people’s seats rather than allowing a line-up at the concession.
· The move has stirred controversy, with some decrying the Rio as finding a loophole while the basic lay-out is still that of a theatre, with narrow entryways and tiny washrooms. Others welcome the move as innovative, a way for a theatre to survive during the closure.

PROVINCIAL:
· The strange case of the CEO in disguise.
· Vancouver couple Rod and Ekaterina Baker were fined $575 after sneaking into the Yukon to try to get the vaccine for themselves.
· The couple posed as local motel workers.
· The clinic at Beaver Creek normally has one nurse and a receptionist, but a team of six was flown in to do vaccinations. Beaver Creek was chosen because “of its remoteness, elderly and population, and limited access to health care,” said Chief Angela Demit of the White River First Nation in Beaver Creek.
· The story of the wealthy executive trying to get vaccine intended for remote elderly First Nations people has not gone over well.
· Rod Baker is the Chief Executive Officer of Great Canadian Gaming, since 2011, where he earns $900,000 per year as salary, but last year also made $45.9 million from company stock options.. The company announced his resignation yesterday. The gambling company cited it’s “core values.” Ekaterina Baker is an actor, but not apparently a good enough one to fool Yukon officials. The couple chartered a flight to the Yukon.
· “We had not been imagining that someone would go to this length to mislead or deceive.” John Streicker, Yukon’s Minister of Community Services.
· The manager of the 1202 Motor Inn, where the couple claimed to work, was also rather upset. “That’s a risk (serving travellers) that we take – not a risk that somebody enforces upon us because they are too ignorant.” Staff at the Beaver Creek clinic found the couple suspicious, and phoned the motel to check on their story. While at the clinic and pretending to live and work in town, the couple rather oddly asked if anyone could drive them to the airport afterwards.

· Ekaterina Baker is known for acting in productions such as Chick Fight, Fatman, The Asset, and The Comeback Trail, and as producer of Big Gold Brick.
· IMDB page: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9698063/
· BC has adopted a four phase vaccination plan.
· Phase 1, December to February: Residents, staff, essential visitors with long-term care and assisted living; people waiting for long-term care; people in remote Indigenous communities and hospital workers caring for patients with COVID-19.
· Phase 2, February to March: Seniors over 80; Indigenous seniors over 65, Indigenous elders; more health-care workers; vulnerable populations and nursing-home staff.
· Phase 3, April to June: Members of the general public aged 60 to 79.
· Phase 4, July to September: Members of the general public aged 18 to 59.
· Premier John Horgan says the plan is based on those who get most sick, and those most likely to die, so priority goes to the elderly and vulnerable, and those who work around them.
· The Premier said multiple groups argued that they were front-line workers and so should get priority. But with vaccine supply limited, it didn’t seem to make sense to vaccinate people on the basis of their job, like being a front-line worker, ahead people ahead of seniors or those more likely to be hospitalized or to die. Health care workers are not only the most likely to be exposed, but they also work with and have direct contact with patients and the vulnerable.
· Here is a good article with the numbers and the rationale behind the priorities: https://www.newwestrecord.ca/local-news/opinion-elderly-should-get-covid-19-vaccine-before-bc-teachers-3291898
· The dates might vary, depending on supply.
· Covid cases in BC have plateaued to an average of 500 per day.
· Dr. Bonnie Henry said that the number is still dangerously high. “For the last few weeks, we have plateaued at 500 new cases. This is too many. We are at a precipice. The virus continues to circulate in our communities. We are at the threshold of where we were in late October and November when cases started to rise.”
· “Over the next two week, I believe we can bend our curve. Not just plateau, but bend it back down…. More than you’ve done before, stay home, stop social interactions.”
· B.C. will receive no new doses of vaccine over the next two weeks. It is not sure how much will be received in February.
· Over the past three days – Saturday, Sunday, Monday:
· 1,344 new cases. 618 of those in Fraser Health. 527 reported on Saturday, 472 on Sunday, 346 on Monday. 64,828 cases to date.
· 26 new deaths. 1,154 total.
· 4,392 active cases.
· 57,831 recovered.
· 11 outbreaks in long-term care declared over.
· 6 cases of the UK variant in BC, 3 cases of the South Africa variant. No community transmission of the UK variant, but the South Africa variant cases are not connected to travel and are being investigated. Dr. Henry: “I’m very concerned. I’m concerned that if those variants start to spread, it’s just going to make our job that much more difficult.”
· 119,850 doses of vaccine administered to date.
· New numbers for Tuesday:
· 14 new deaths. 1,168 total.
· 407 new cases. 65,234 total. (Comparison: a high of 911 cases happened for Nov 27).

· New restriction may be necessary if the number begins to climb again.
· 4,850 cases among health care workers, from January 2020 to 15 January 2021. About 8% of cases.
· From January to December 17th 2020, care aides had the highest number of cases among healthcare workers at 1,193 or 24.6%. Nurses were second at 833 or 17.2%. Below are the ten highest number of cases by healthcare worker category.

INTERNATIONAL:
· The world is experiencing Covid-somnia – an epidemic of insomnia.
· Insomnia is now at one-quarter of the population in the UK, and at 40% in Italy and Greece.
· There is concern that this is affecting people’s health in other ways.
· Work productivity is also affected.
· A University of Ottawa study of health care workers in 55 countries and 190,000 people showed that depression, anxiety, and PTSD have all risen at least 15% since the start of the pandemic. Insomnia has risen by over 23%.
· People are advised to seek help, which many are not as people avoid medical services, or those services are unavailable. Seeking help is important, because sleep issues over time can become and ongoing sleep disorder. “Tele-health” now makes treatment more available despite the pandemic.
· Working and using screens in bed is a big part of it. The recommendation is to use your bed only as a place of sleep.

· Vaccine delays are happening around the world.
· Canada is receiving zero doses this week.
· Health workers who were scheduled for vaccination were mostly notified by email of their cancellations.
· In Canada, 50% of doses will be delayed for up to four weeks, up to 400,000 doses delayed.
· Restoration of supply will happen in the European union before it happens in Canada. Pfizer explained this as differing contract deals but did not reveal details. Europe has also threatened to sue Pfizer for breach of contracts, and threatened to abandon Pfizer altogether as a supplier, perhaps in doing so catching the company’s attention.
· Pfizer and AstraZeneca say they will catch up to their commitments in the Spring. Pfizer says their delay is due to changing production systems, so a short-term shut down for a greater number of people vaccinated more rapidly overall. Pfizers says that they are upgrading to be able to produce 2 billion doses per year, from the current 1.3 billion. AstraZeneca has not given details.
· UPDATED: The Pfizer production facility in question is in Belgium. The European Union has threatened to ban exports of the vaccine if commitments to Europe are not met. The company is attempting to distribute the problem in the world somewhat equitably. If Europe followed through on the threat, that could mean delays for other countries would be longer, including Canada, which is served by the Belgium facility.
· The UK, having had Brexit and pulled out of the European Union, has realized that they, too, would be one of those outside countries. The UK, somewhat ironically, is now arguing against nationalism as government policy, referring to what they called “the dead end of vaccine nationalism.”
· The World Health Organization’s Covax program, to distribute vaccine around the world fairly to low-income countries, has not been affected, some good news in the mix. The Covax problem is still on schedule, as its vaccine supply is produced in India and South Korea. The program has also received a substantial boost, following US President Joe Biden’s decision to contribute $4 billion to the program.
· The CDC in the US says that allergic reactions to the vaccine are extremely rare.
· Out of 4 million given the Moderna vaccine, 10 had severe allergic reactions.
· Moderna – 2.5 per million doses have severe allergic reactions.
· Pfizer – 11.1 per million.
· Normal flu vaccine – 1.3 per million.
· Allergic reactions begin quickly, at a median of 7 and a half minutes, so people are able to be supported through it. The majority were known to have severe allergies in advance. In the US, all vaccination sites must have people trained in responding to anaphylaxis, or severe allergic reaction.
· Story: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/22/health/moderna-severe-allergic-reactions-rare/index.html
· A doctor in Texas has been arrested for stealing vaccine.
· The doctor stole 9 doses to give to his friends and family, authorities allege.
· A man lived in the Chicago O’Hare airport for three months because he was afraid to fly. Story: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55702003
· Los Angeles has lifted its air quality limitations for cremations. An emergency order was issued so that crematoriums can catch up with the number of bodies. One person every eight minutes was dying from Covid every 8 minutes. The rate of death in LA county is double the norm from past years. 13,800 deaths in the city, 7,400 currently hospitalized, and 23% of those in intensive care.
· Over 200 incidents with plane passengers over the wearing of masks have been reported in the U.S.
· The behaviour has included refusal to wear masks once onboard, shouting abusively at flight attendants, and even physical assault.
· On Thursday, President Biden issued an executive order requiring the wearing of masks across transportation, a move welcomed by flight unions.
· The FAA, Federal Air Administration, has introduced fines up to $35,000 and potential jailing for abusing aircraft personnel, a move made in December after two flight attendants were assaulted.
· One person has been fined $15,000 after hitting the flight attendant, and grabbing her phone away from her while she was notifying the captain of the problem. Another passenger was fined $7,500, who when asked to wear a mask approached other passengers without a mask and sexually harassed a flight attendant.
· Some airlines are banning passengers from their flights who refuse to follow the rules. United Airlines has banned 615 people from flying on the airline since June, Delta Airlines has banned 700.
· There is a lot of news about variants of the virus.
· New variants have appeared in Britain, South Africa, and Brazil, all countries that have had high rates of Covid.
· So, what about vaccines? Scientists have actually expected that vaccines would still work against the variants. Moderna says that antibodies triggered by their vaccine works on new variants in lab test results. More study will be needed of people who actually have been vaccinated and who had the variant. The study so far was a small sample of eight people. Early results with the Pfizer vaccine also show that it works against variants.
· Moderna is also studying to see if there is a benefit of giving a third booster shot.
· Reports vary almost daily about if the variants are more deadly or not. The truth is that data is too limited and it is too early to really tell.
· Covid job losses have been four times worse than in the financial crisis in 2009.
· That’s according to a report by the International Labor Organization.
· The report estimates that 8.8% of the world’s work hours were eliminated. The ILO looks not only at those who have become unemployed, but those who have had reduced hours of work as well. That loss is equivalent to 255 million full-time jobs, or $3.7 trillion dollars of income.

· The government of Japan wants to go ahead with the Olympics that were delayed last summer.
· The Olympics are planned to start on July 23, and the Paralympics on August 24.
· The International Olympic Committee is currently planning on proceeding, but has not made a final decision. Efforts are underway to have Olympics that are Covid safe.

The Events that Destroyed the World

This story was inspired by u/76tubas Writing Prompt post: We expected the aliens to say “Take us to your leader.” We never expected them to say “Take us to your CREATOR.” Posted with their permission.
This document is a short, first-hand account of the major events that transpired after The Arrival. It includes news headlines/excerpts of articles I printed out, my personal experiences, and explanations of The Arrival, The Wars, and The Reckoning. Hopefully, those left behind will find this document and have a better understanding of the devastating events that transpired.
BREAKING NEWS: ALIEN SHIPS LAND IN EVERY CAPITAL CITY ACROSS THE WORLD
"On January 3rd, 2020 at approximately 1500 EST alien space ships arrived at every nation's capital city. No life forms have yet emerged from the ships, according to our sources. Government officials urge everyone to stay calm and go home immediately. This news is constantly developing. Periodically check our website for new updates."
This headline blared over the news stations in every country. Panic erupted across the world. Flights canceled, stock markets thrown into chaos, children everywhere taken out of school, and a worldwide bank run decimated economies and governments everywhere.
When They arrived I was working at a rundown pizza place in my hometown. I remember preparing an order when I overheard the news anchor mention alien space ships, laughing to myself and thinking I misheard, I walked out to our dining area to find every customer quickly packing up and running out. The news station was showing footage of multiple, huge alien ships hovering in the sky in London, Washington D.C, Beijing, and other cities. I stood in awe while people rushed by to get home. After the initial shock, I grabbed my purse and went to my parent's house.
Weeks passed and nothing emerged from the ships. This time period is referred to as The Arrival.
The first-week, violence erupted in response to the bank runs and fear. Rioting, looting, and fires spread across major cities. Smaller unstable governments collapsed and major world leaders tried to restore calm. Initially, everything was shut down. Only hospitals and grocery stores were open guarded by a heavy police presence. Smaller towns weren't as chaotic. By the end of the week, countries were using their military to restore order as best as possible. In the former United States of America, a nationwide curfew was implemented, martial law was initiated and the national guard, the police, and the military were patrolling the streets.
By the third week, there was a forced calm. Only government buildings, hospitals, grocery stores, and companies managing infrastructure were operational. Millions of people lost their jobs at once. According to the news, the situation was pretty similar for countries in Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa.
TV shows and movies went off the air. Only the news and government updates played on television at select times. The internet, surprisingly still functional, exploded with conspiracy theorists, religious groups, and cults claiming to know what was going on. Scientists could not provide us with any information, so people en masse turned to religion to provide them with the answers.
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP EXPLODES ALL OVER THE WORLD
"February 22nd, 2020. For the first time in decades, churches have seen a dramatic increase in membership. The worldwide trend in religious affiliation has been on the decline but in recent weeks people have been flocking back to God. This trend is not only seen in predominately Christian countries but also in Muslim, Jewish, and Hindu countries. Buddhism has also gained popularity. The explosion in religious affiliation has led to tensions rising quickly between different sects and major religions all across the world, causing some violence.
In the United States, 75% of the population now identifies as Christian compared to 65% in recent years. Islam populations increased from 1% to 3%, Buddhism from 1% to 2%, and Hinduism from 1% to 1.5%. Major debates have taken place between different evangelical leaders. Some physical altercations have taken place between members of different sects and 6 recent murders are linked to religious debate. According to our research, the three Christian denominations that have gained the most memberships are Christian Scientists, Mormons, and Pentecostals. Scientology has also seen an increase in followers.”
My family and I are atheists. We never went to church and did not join in the trend. Instead, my parents and I boarded up our home, only leaving the house for food and necessities. We stayed glued to the television hoping to hear any positive news that never came. Families and neighbors became suspicious of each other. Everyone kept to their own household. The tension in the air was palpable.
On March 25th we finally learned why They came.
TAKE US TO YOUR CREATOR, ALIENS FINALLY MAKE CONTACT
"March 25th, 2020. The space ships landed and the aliens finally emerged from their ship to demand the same thing in each capital city, 'take us to your creator'. From our sources in numerous countries, this demand was spoken in the predominate, regional language in which their ships landed. No other demands were made."
The alien ships landed and according to corroborated, eye witness accounts across the world, the ships landed simultaneously. A dozen or so aliens emerged from each ship. One speaker for each group. They are small, humanoid creatures with gray, translucent skin, large black eyes, and a visible brain. Politicians, high ranking military officials, and journalists across the world approached the aliens. Once humans were within earshot, the aliens made their announcement. Attempts to communicate from our side were met with silence from Them. No country reported any other demands. Once They heard what humans had to say, the aliens went back into their ships and remained grounded. Military bases promptly set up, surrounding the space ships.
Once reports of the demand made by Them spread across the news and internet, debates broke out. For weeks, religious leaders all over the world started to argue over who’s deity was the creator. This debate quickly turned into a fight over who’s religion was the true religion and who’s sect was the correct one. The idea was that “we” would approach the aliens with the “correct” religion and introduce them to “our” creator. Proof either being the Bible, Quran, ancient religious texts, etc. These debates sparked The Wars.
*From here on out The Wars will be told from the viewpoint of my former country. Over time news reports became sparse. It became increasingly difficult to find out what was happening in other countries. From the news we obtained in the beginning, the infighting that broke out in every region most likely took a similar course as in the U.S. Due to Christianity being the predominate religion and having the greatest impact, my document will focus on their infighting.*
In the former United States, people wanted to convert the aliens and introduce them to God through worship and church. Therefore bringing them to our creator through spirituality. The question was, who’s denomination do we choose to introduce Them too? Which rules should They follow? Which parts of the bible should we show them? Who’s belief system was the true one? Religious leaders were at the pulpit, on the streets, and on the news, preaching that their sect was the correct one. Two months of debating took place, becoming more and more hostile. Fights between members of different sects broke out in the streets, a handful of people were shot and killed. Over the span of six months, militant groups formed in alignment with a specific sect.
The loudest, largest, and most fanatical Christian militant group, called themselves The Defenders. The second-largest called themselves The Spiritualists. The majority of the fighting was fought between these two groups but also included scrimmages with other smaller sect’s militant groups.
The government during this time was still legitimate and had control over the military. Over time, it came out that top military generals along with state and federal government officials began aligning themselves with religious leaders. The President’s power and government legitimacy eroded over the year. Religious leaders calling on the president to resign over failure to confront Them with “the truth.” Most of the fighting that occurred at the start were shoot outs between militant groups, attacks on infrastructure, and military posts. There were a couple of assassinations of senators, congressmen, and unaffiliated generals and police captains.
Soldiers and police officers eventually joined various militant groups, leaving their posts at hospitals, grocery stores, and government offices. Attacks on secular workers (anyone who wasn’t working for a sect/ militant group, were called secular workers) dramatically increased. Hospitals began to collapse and infrastructure started to crumble. The internet was spotty, peoples' water and sewage were shut off. Grocery stores were emptied out. Traffic lights stopped working. Crime went unpunished. Journalists were murdered and news stations were blown up. The country was on the verge of total anarchy.
Thankfully my mother was an avid gardener and kept a few chickens so we had some vegetables and eggs. We had plenty of guns thanks to my father. We kept ourselves safe and stayed away from everyone.
The aliens never once left their ships. A few attempts to bomb them failed. Nothing could penetrate or even leave a dent on their ships. This increased paranoia and fear. Riots ravaged major cities.
On January 25th, 2021 the President was assassinated by members of The Defenders. The entire federal and state government collapsed. The Defenders assumed power.
THE PRESIDENT IS DEAD. THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT NO LONGER EXISTS. DEFENDERS HAVE ASSUMED POWER.
“January 25th, 2021 at 1000 EST the President was assassinated by members of the Defenders with help from top military generals. The U.S government no longer exists. The Spiritualists will challenge this assumption of power. This will be our last news alert. You are on your own.”
Once the news spread that the president was dead, the internet completely went down. The only source of “news” were TV broadcasts from The Defenders and The Spiritualists. They both took over broadcasting stations to continue to air their propaganda and give “updates” about The Wars. Power plants were taken over by different militant groups to provide electricity. Whoever had control of local power plants and food supplies controlled that area. Our small town was taken over by The Spiritualists. Anyone who was known to be aligned with The Defenders, any other sect or religious group were dragged out of their homes and executed in the streets. Almost all of our neighbors were slaughtered. Their bodies were left to decay on their front yards. Fortunately, no one knew of our lack of religious alignments. Therefore we were spared in the initial cleansing.
For months we lived in constant fear. The Spiritualists kept the power plants going but the electricity was spotty. We had little to eat and nothing to do. The TV played battles, executions, preaching, and the space ship. A majority of the fights that were broadcasted happened close to the ship. The aliens never once emerged.
In mid-November, The Defenders stormed my town and decimated our local Spiritualist group. They assumed that anyone left alive was a Spiritualist and began another cleansing. Early one morning my mother shook me awake, dragged me from my room, and shoved me into a small hideout my parents made for me. The last thing she ever said to me was “I love you”. I never got to see my father again. She closed the door while tears streamed down my face and gave my hand one last squeeze. Almost immediately after I was hidden away, the door busted open and I could hear my parents screaming while they were dragged into the street. I heard two faint gunshots. It took everything in me not to scream. I covered my mouth and silently cried for hours.
Once it was night time, I emerged from my hideout. I needed to leave immediately because if I was found, I would also be executed. I grabbed one of our go bags we had and left in the middle of the night. I traveled for weeks, only walking at night and sleeping during the day. I traveled in the woods and stole food from farmers. I slept under leaves or in trees secured to larger branches. I had no idea where I was trying to go.
One day I woke up to voices from below. I froze thinking they were a militant group. It turned out to be three girls around my age, one of whom was pregnant, who were out looking for food. From their conversation, I could tell they were secular. I ended up exposing myself and told them my story. After a bit of conversation, they decided they could trust me and took me back to their house in the town close by.
The town they lived in was controlled by a less violent, smaller sect. Since this town was tiny with a small population, it managed to stay off The Spiritualist and Defenders’ radar.
For months I lived with these girls, watching the broadcastings when there was electricity, and foraging food. Nothing really changed in the spring and summer. The Wars continued on. Power constantly vying between religious sects and their militant groups. Still no contact from Them. That is until the Fall of 2021 when The Reckoning finally happened.
One day we were sitting on the couch watching a battle in front of the space ship, nothing about this fight seemed out of the ordinary or special. I was about to go to sleep when the door to the ship opened. None of the soldiers noticed until it was too late. The first alien touched a button on a small device and every single person participating in the battle collapsed dead. The cameras still rolling, the alien who pushed the button approached it.
In perfect English, it said, “For over a year we watched humans tear each other apart after we made our demand. We can no longer watch this. It is a tragedy the events that have transpired across the world. We have studied humans for thousands of years and finally decided to approach humanity. We think there is potential for your species but many of you are violent emotional tribalistic animals. We have decided that those who have not participated in these wars can join us. Come to us and we will give you peace. We will know.” They stood in front of the camera, staring, for over five minutes then calmly went back to their ship. For hours the TV showed their space ship until a few soldiers were brave enough to turn the camera off and grab the equipment.
What happened afterward was relatively uneventful. The fighting initially didn’t slow down, many of the scrimmages were still being broadcasted. Occasionally, soldiers fighting would drop dead like on Reckoning Day. When that happened, the camera would stay on for hours focused on the scattered dead bodies. Over time it seemed like the battles lessened but more realistically, probably just weren’t being broadcasted as often. No fighting took place in D.C anymore near the space ship. A few of the major players on The Defenders and The Spiritualists side dropped dead on camera while preaching. After these events, propaganda was the predominate thing playing on the air.
A few weeks after the aliens spoke to us, I made my decision to join Them. None of the girls wanted to go with me. One girl was about to give birth and another was newly pregnant. All felt that it was a trap and felt it best to stay with the devil they know. The next day I set out. The travel to D.C was uneventful. I rarely saw anyone on the road. It took about three weeks of walking to make it.
The ship in person is nothing like it is on TV. It is a monolithic structure. Gazing at it made me feel like I was one piece of sand on a beach, unimportant and irrelevant, while simultaneously bringing on an overwhelming, deep feeling of understanding. My entire perception changed, awakening something celestial within me. I am going to experience life unlike we know it here on Earth. I wish my parents could come with me.
I stopped off in an abandoned apartment to write this before I leave Earth forever. Even though the aliens didn’t explicitly say they are taking me away, my intuition tells me this is my last night on Earth.
I hope my retelling of events will serve as a warning to and a challenge to those who propagate violence.
Maybe someone born into this world will find and read my document, giving them the opportunity to form opinions based on facts, not propaganda. Hopefully, I can save at least one person growing up in this environment from the slavery of ignorance.
More realistically, my writing will get lost to time, unseen.
It doesn’t matter though, I will not be here.

New World Order - Новый мировой порядок - цели глобалистов к 2030 году:

- Единое мировое правительство
- единая валюта во всех странах - безналичная, цифровая
- Единый мировой центральный банк
- единые мировые вооруженные силы
- тотальный контроль людей.
Мировые IT корпорации массово следят за людьми.
- отмена национального суверенитета
- отмена всей частной собственности
- отмена семьи
- Дети принадлежат Единому мировому правительству
- депопуляция - снижение численности населения Мира, контроль рождаемости
- принудительная регулярная вакцинация
- микрочипирование людей для заработка, отслеживания и контроля
- введение системы социального рейтинга (как в Китае)
- интернет вещей

- разделение общества на касты: "элиту" (которых ничтожное меньшинство) и всех остальных людей (которых большинство).
"элита" - самые богатые и влиятельные.

- отмена очного образования, введение дистанционного электронного образования для большинства населения.
Качественное очное образование будут получать только члены "элиты".
Остальное население будет обучаться дистанционно. Дистанционное обучение не качественно, это вообще не образование, это лишь видимость. Дистанционное обучение вводится чтобы выращивать тупых покорных рабов - обслуживающий персонал для "элиты".

Цели из этого списка активно продвигаются в странах.

Задачи гибридной войны "коронавирус" :
- посеять страх в людях посредством "опасного заболевания", "страшного вируса".
и тут же предложить решение: предоставить "спасительную" вакцину, которая всех "защитит".
На самом деле вакцина никого не защитит.
- скрыть мировой финансовый кризис
- вызвать экономический кризис в странах

Как агенты глобалистов создают "пандемию", как власти управляют фейк-пандемией. Как правительства стран манипулируют информацией, как повышают показатели статистики


Цель глобалистов - сократить население Земли. Власти стран работают на глобалистов.

Одна из задач глобалистов - приучить все население Земли к регулярной массовой вакцинации.

Создать новую модель поведения в обществе: "регулярная вакцинация".
Привнести и укрепить новые идеи в людях: "регулярная вакцинация - это хорошо и правильно", "регулярная вакцинация спасает от страшного заболевания".
Законодательно закрепить в каждой подконтрольной им стране регулярную вакцинацию, в т.ч. в России.

Каким образом можно сделать так, чтобы люди сами, добровольно захотели вакцинироваться? Чтобы люди не протестовали против навязываемой им вакцинации?
Правильно, надо напугать население стран - создать пандемию "страшного" заболевания, и предложить решение - вакцину. Чтобы люди согласились вакцинироваться.
Основная масса людей не имеют мед. знаний, власти этим пользуются .

Диктатура держится на страхе, невежестве людей и бедности.


Это мы сейчас и наблюдаем:
- глобалисты запустили пандемию заболевания,
- вызывают страх в обществе (манипуляции обществом с помощью страха),
- через СМИ очень активно продвигают "пандемию" - создают постоянное инфо давление на общество: "какое страшное заболевание", как много заболело и умерло, больницы переполнены, с соответствующим видеорядом - тела в моргах и т.п.),
- предложили решение - "эффективную" вакцину, которая всех "спасет".

Все мировые медиа принадлежат и управляются глобалиствами, потому продвигают в массы то, что нужно глобалистам.

Правда в том, что вакцинация не является эффективным способом борьбы с вирусами. От некоторых вирусов вакцину создать просто невозможно.

Затем глобалисты намерены постоянно проводить вакцинацию населения, в некоторые партии вакцин от какого-либо вируса будут добавлены опасные для здоровья компоненты, которые могут убить, привести к инвалидности, стерилизовать человека.
Так, постепенно и незаметно, сокращать население Земли.
Под прикрытием вакцинации вводить в организм людей вещества, препараты, оказывающие вредное воздействие на организм человека, чтобы сократить население Земли, стерилизовать население.
Чтобы сокращать население Земли можно стерилизовать людей, чтобы они не давали потомства. - см. ниже подробнее как фонд Билла Гейтса с помощью вакцинации стерилизовал женщин.
Регулярная массовая вакцинация выгодна фармацевтическим компаниям и коррумпированным правительствам стран, вакцинация - это бесконечный источник дохода, миллионы доз ежегодно.

Более двадцати лет Билл Гейтс и его Фонд Билла и Мелинды Гейтс (BMGF) проводят вакцинацию миллионов детей в отдаленных районах бедных стран, в основном в Африке и Азии. Большая часть их программ вакцинации дала катастрофические результаты, вызвав само заболевание (полиомиелит, например, в Индии) и стерилизацию молодых женщин (Кения, с помощью модифицированной вакцины против столбняка). Многие из детей умерли. Многие из программ были осуществлены при поддержке ВОЗ и - да - Агентства ООН по защите детей, ЮНИСЕФ.

Большинство этих кампаний по вакцинации проводились без информированного согласия детей, родителей, опекунов или учителей, а также без информированного согласия или с поддельного согласия соответствующих государственных органов. После этого в Фонд Гейтса поступили иски от правительств разных стран мира, Кении, Индии, Филиппин и др.
Примерно в то время, когда был выпущен доклад Рокфеллера за 2010 год с еще более печально известным сценарием "Lock Step" "Шаг затвора", именно по тому сценарию, по которому мы сейчас живем, Билл Гейтс говорил на шоу TED в Калифорнии "Innovating to Zero" "Инновации к нулю" об использовании энергии.

Mass Sterilization: Kenyan Doctors Find Anti-fertility Agent in UN Tetanus Vaccine.

Kenya Catholic Doctors Association is charging UNICEF and WHO with sterilizing millions of girls and women under cover of an anti-tetanus vaccination program sponsored by the Kenyan government.
The Kenya Catholic Doctors Association, however, saw evidence to the contrary, and had six different samples of the tetanus vaccine from various locations around Kenya sent to an independent laboratory in South Africa for testing.

The results confirmed their worst fears: all six samples tested positive for the HCG antigen. The HCG antigen is used in anti-fertility vaccines, but was found present in tetanus vaccines targeted to young girls and women of childbearing age. Dr. Ngare, spokesman for the Kenya Catholic Doctors Association, stated in a bulletin released November 4:

“This proved right our worst fears; that this WHO campaign is not about eradicating neonatal tetanus but a well-coordinated forceful population control mass sterilization exercise using a proven fertility regulating vaccine. This evidence was presented to the Ministry of Health before the third round of immunization but was ignored.”
....

Is there a tetanus crisis in Kenya? If this is so, why has it not been declared?
Why does the campaign target women of 14 – 49years?
Why has the campaign left out young girls, boys and men even if they are all prone to tetanus?

In the midst of so many life threatening diseases in Kenya, why has tetanus been prioritized?

We are not convinced that the government has taken adequate responsibility to ensure that Tetanus Toxoid vaccine (TT) laced with Beta human chorionic gonadotropin (b-HCG) sub unit is not being used by the sponsoring development partners. This has previously been used by the same partners in Philippines, Nicaragua and Mexico to vaccinate women against future pregnancy. Beta HCG sub unit is a hormone necessary for pregnancy.

When injected as a vaccine to a non-pregnant woman, this Beta HCG sub unit combined with tetanus toxoid develops antibodies against tetanus and HCG so that if a woman’s egg becomes fertilized, her own natural HCG will be destroyed rendering her permanently infertile. In this situation tetanus vaccination has been used as a birth control method.

We retain that the tetanus vaccination campaign bears the hallmarks of the programmes that were carried out in Philippines, Mexico and Nicaragua. We would want to participate in ensuring that the vaccines to be administered are free of this hormone.

Продолжение - Как агенты глобалистов создают "пандемию", как власти управляют фейк-пандемией. Как правительства стран манипулируют информацией, как повышают показатели статистики



Власти стран преувеличивают масштабы заболеваемости и искусственно создают "эпидемию" "страшного" заболевания.

- власти распространяют вирус через вакцинацию.
Вакцинация сама по себе способна вызывать заболевание, усиливать симптомы. Чем больше людей вакцинировано фейк-вакциной, тем больше будет заболевших.
Кроме того, вакцинация может вызвать усиленный иммунный ответ, что может вести к утяжелению протекания заболеваний и смерти.

- Необходимость локдауна (карантинные ограничения) власти объясняют попыткой предотвратить перегрузку системы здравоохранения и инфраструктуры.

При этом сами власти как раз и перегружают искусственно систему.

- Ношение маски вредит здоровью
Вероятность самозаражения в случае, если влажную или загрязненную маску не заменяют. Данные условия благоприятствуют усилению активности микроорганизма. Растет число заболевших ОРВИ.

- Существует сезонность ОРВИ.
Всегда, каждый год, весной и осенью возрастает заболеваемость вирусными и бактериальными инфекциями.

- Власти намеренно искусственно перегружают систему здравоохранения, искусственно создают дефицит.
Одно событие запускает цепь взаимосвязанных событий.

Власти намеренно искусственно перегружают систему здравоохранения так:


- принуждают людей вызывать бригаду скорой помощи по каждому незначительному поводу (сопли, кашель, температура и пр), скорой дают указание всех людей везти в больницу,
- все люди должны сдавать ПЦР "тесты" на вирус,
- всех людей с симптомами ОРВИ госпитализируют, в больницах - бараках люди с симптомами ОРВИ инфицируются дополнительно, получают сочетанную инфекцию - заражаются другим вирусом или бактерией - состояние людей конечно ухудшается.
Человека с симптомами ОРВИ заставляют сидеть дома + также должны сидеть дома, те с кем он контактировал.

- правительство провело "оптимизацию" здравоохранения: значительно сократили количество больниц, мед учреждений, персонала.

- перепрофилируют все мед учреждения под коронавирус больницы, всех врачей принуждают заниматься коронавирусом, вместо других заболеваний.
Пациенты с другими заболеваниями не получают мед помощи вовремя, как следствие пациенты с другими заболеваниями умирают или их заболевание обостряется.

Как власти стран намеренно повышают смертность:
Ограничения в обследовании и лечении заболеваний отрицательно сказываются на статистике других заболеваний, в т.ч хронических: люди не могут вовремя диагностировать и вылечить заболевание, обратиться к врачу, провести операцию, заболевания становятся запущенными. Это также повышает показатели статистики смертности.
например прогрессируют хронические заболевания: онкологические, сердечно-сосудистые и др.
Разумеется, мощностей системы здравоохранения не будет хватать при таком подходе - будет нехватка всего: мед персонала, оборудования, средств, врачей не хватает и не будет хватать.

Также власти и компании могут искусственно создавать дефицит, могут ограничивать поставки лекарств в аптеки, мед учреждения, что приведет к росту заболеваний, утяжелению протекания болезней.

например:
власти и бизнес ограничивают поставки антибиотиков в аптеки + люди сами скупают антибиотики в большом объеме из-за страха -> в результате появляется нехватка лекарств -> возрастает число и тяжесть бактериальных инфекций, пневмоний.Появляется волна страха, паники в обществе. Люди еще больше начинают скупать антибиотики. Так волна страха разрастается, охватывает все большее количество людей.
Все это ведет к перегрузке системы - система разумеется дает сбои.

Из-за намеренно перегруженной системы здравоохранения умирают люди с другими болезнями (напр инфаркт из за нехватки бригад скорой мед помощи), как следствие растет число тел в моргах.
А паталогоанатомам дали указание вскрывать всех умерших.
Паталогоанатомов не хватает, на врачей увеличивается нагрузка, врачи не успевают вскрывать всех умерших - как результат перегрузка моргов.
Появляются "страшные" картинки переполненных моргов, тела в коридорах - вбрасываются через СМИ и купленных блогеров - создается картина "страшного" заболевания.

А потом власти говорят: "смотрите, люди тяжело болеют", "смотрите как много смертей" и пр.

Диагноз "коронавирус" ставится только на основании тестов (не учитывают симптомы), власти проводят много тестов, больше тестов - больше "заболевших" -> много "положительных" тестов, значит "эпидемия".

ПЦР-Тесты лгут, дают ложноположительные результаты.



Таким образом пандемиия "страшного" заболевания может длиться сколь угодно длительное время, нужное глобалистам.
По такому механизму глобалисты будут запускать новые пандемии болезней. Болезни могут быть реально опасны или нет.
Коронавирус SARS-CoV-2 не так опасен, как его представляют власти стран. Неизвестно, будет ли использован в будущем реально опасный новый вирус для новых войн.

Так глобалисты будут вести новый тип войны - гибридная война, используя пандемии любых болезней.
Используя биологическое оружие (вирусы, бактерии) вместе с информационным давлением на общество, манипуляциями информацией, дезинформацией.
Все мировые СМИ принадлежат глобалистам, через СМИ и блогеров глобалисты дают обществу ту инфо, которая выгодна глобалистам.
-------------------

Кто такие глобалисты, хозяева денег, мировое теневое правительство ?

Глобалисты уже контролируют большую часть Мира, управляют Миром.
Хозяева денег хотят установить тотальный контроль над Миром, создать покорное управляемое общество, сделать из людей рабов.

Глобалисты - это самые богатые и влиятельные люди Мира, "хозяева денег" - международые финансовые элиты (банкиры ФРС США, МВФ), транснациональные элиты - это и есть "мировое теневое правительство".

Мировое теневое правительство, мировое закулисное правительство - это транснациональные элиты и глобальные корпорации. Названия разные.
Мировые IT корпорации (Google. Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Facebook и прочие) активно способствуют хозяевам денег в установлении тотального контроля над Миром и всеми людьми.
ФРС - федеральная резервная система США, которая печатает доллары в нужном количестве.
МВФ - Международный валютный фонд.

  • Dave’s been following wrestling for 17 years at this point, and sometimes it’s easy to think you’ve seen it all with that kind of experience. But after seeing All Japan Women live, he realized he’d seen nothing. The shows he saw during his trip to Japan had the best wrestling he’s ever seen, so much so that nothing before comes even close. The atmosphere and the action have Dave struggling to find words, and he’s just as dumbfounded by how good Chigusa Nagayo and Dump Matsumoto are at their jobs. 90% of AJW's audience is teenage girls, a demographic you don’t really see as a focal demographic over here, but to these girls the wrestlers are so over an American fan has to see it live to really get it. Dump’s the best heel in the world by a distance and as for Chigusa Nagayo: “the reaction she gets not only can’t be duplicated by any wrestler in this country (Hulk Hogan certainly comes the closest and at best his isn’t half as good) but you’d probably have to use Madonna or Bruce Springsteen at their peak for comparison. The crowd literally lives and dies with every move she makes.” At one show, the crowd were all crying, and then the main event of the 3-hour show was a fast-paced 50 minute match where every move was a high spot and the crowd never let up for the whole match.
  • Dave’s therefore changing his vote for Wrestler of the Year to Chigusa Nagayo. He’ll still vote for Hogan for best babyface, since Hogan has broader appeal and is a bigger draw, but Chigusa's sheer level of overness with AJW fans and her skill are huge. Strictly in terms of business and drawing power Hogan should win Wrestler of the Year, and should have won 1985-1986 as well (Ric Flair won those years in landslides). Dave personally figures ring-work for 60% of the equation, with impact at the box office to be 40%. Dave will not be putting Flair in his top three for Wrestler of the Year, even though his promos and ring-work merit it. Allowing his drawing power to be cut so hard and the destruction of his perception among the marks when he has the ability to call the shots about his presentation means he doesn’t deserve to be considered for Wrestler of the year at all this year (Riki Choshu winds up winning for 1987, breaking Ric Flair's 5 year streak).
  • A lot has changed during the week Dave was in Japan. Fritz Von Erich sold WCCW. Ken Mantell and a group with him have bought the company, and there are conflicting stories about the exact breakdown of the ownership (Dave keeps hearing either 30% or 51% of the stake is owned by Mantell), but Texas newspapers are reporting Fritz is out entirely and Mantell now signs the checks. Kevin and Kerry still own a lot of the company, so they’ll still get big pushes. Mantell still owns Wild West Wrestling, and the plan for now seems to be to run both promotions. That’s not going to be good for them in the long run, since they’re competing in the same area of Texas. Expect a merger when they figure that out. A lot of guys are returning to World Class now that Mantell’s in charge, like Missing Link, Bill Irwin, Terry Gordy, and Buddy Roberts. Looks like Fritz finally wanted out of the business, because everything suggests he contacted Mantell. Mantell was the booker for World Class during their heyday in 1983-84, so there’s obviously the hope he can rescue things, but his time in UWF in 86-87 saw him repeat the World Class booking from in UWF and it didn’t work and killed business enough that Bill Watts had to sell to Crockett. If he tries to relive 1983 in 1988, it’s not going to work. If he can build new stars and remove the focus on the Von Erichs, there’s a chance of World Class becoming a major power again.
  • The February 1988 issue of Penthouse will do a story on the Von Erichs. Dave doesn’t know what’ll be in the story, but Fritz is apparently worried about it and how it will portray him.
  • Kazuharu Sonoda, who teamed with Great Kabuki in World Class and would sometimes play the Great Kabuki character when the real Great Kabuki was double booked, died in an airplane crash on November 29. He was 31 years old and had been in the business since just after he turned 18. The airplane had a fire in the cargo hold that caused it to break up in mid air and killed all 159 on board. Sonoda’s trip to South Africa was to be a working honeymoon as a gift from the Great Kabuki - Kabuki was sending him in his stead to do a tour under the Great Kabuki name and gimmick and enjoy a vacation at the same time. Raja Lion, the 7’2” supposed martial arts champion working for Baba, was also supposed to be on the same plane, but canceled at the last minute and avoided disaster himself.
  • No numbers yet for Starrcade and Survivor Series. Starrcade did sell out in Chicago and drew well on closed-circuit on the East coast, but the Crocketts seem disappointed by the final gate. Dave speculates slightly more than $1 million for the final gate. While he was in Japan, Dave heard Survivor Series did $4 million, which sounds reasonable but he can’t vouch for the accuracy of it. What Dave can say is that Survivor Series was definitely a financial success in addition to being good. In terms of impressions of the shows, Dave’s heard from hundreds about Starrcade and the reaction has been mixed. Many thought it was great. There was near universal dissatisfaction with the UWF Title match. And the TV title unification was largely unpopular, which Dave blames on the build up ruining the match. Dave has heard that the UWF Title match was different from what it was supposed to be, which restores a little of Dave’s faith in Dusty as a booker. The majority was disappointed, and about 20-25% of responses said the show was terrible. Dave falls in the disappointment camp. If it hadn’t been Starrcade, it would have been fine. But Crockett needed a great Starrcade, or at the very least to outperform WWF’s show in quality, and that did not happen.
  • Business is still not good coming out of Thanksgiving. Ted DiBiase and Hogan’s matches just aren’t drawing as much as they should. The Bunkhouse Stampedes have so far been disappointments at the gate, enough that Crockett needs to reevaluate their entire model or they’ll cease to be a major promotion entirely. The November 28 Saturday Night’s Main Event is the best life sign in these times: an 11.3 rating and a 30 share are what Dave has heard (not official), which would be the second highest rating the show has ever gotten and third highest rating for that time slot in tv history. TV ratings are the biggest indicator of public interest right now, so even if live crowds are down, this shows that WWF is still very interesting. They’re just not turning that into a rabid desire to be at the show. Crockett’s ratings are dropping, though, and they need to get fans watching tv again before they can worry about getting live attendance back up. In syndicated ratings, WWF gained viewers leading toward Survivor Series, while Crockett remains out of the top 15 and has a below 5.0 combined rating, putting them behind the AWA and Pro Wrestling This Week, which combined have a rating in the low 5s.
  • Dusty is throwing everything he can at the booking to break out of the fall, and that includes turning Lex Luger. Luger turned on December 2 at a Miami Beach Bunkhouse Stampede. The match came down to Luger, Arn, Tully, and J.J. Dillon. Dillon asked the others to let him win so he could go down in the record books as a stampede winner, and Arn and Tully eliminated themselves. Luger then threw Dillon over the top to win. Turning Lex is a good move, but Dave figures it’s the second best move they could have done and that’s the difference between Crockett and WWF - WWF generally goes with the best thing they can do, not the second best. Another year as a heel might have been good for Luger and helped him shore up his skillset, but Crockett is in desperation mode and needed to make a major move. And Luger has the potential to be a great face, and could make a lot of money for Crockett with Flair if they handle things right. But if nobody’s watching tv, it won’t matter how hot he gets as a face. Other major things happening to try and get things righted: Kevin Sullivan’s group with Rick Steiner, Mike Rotunda, and Steve Williams is one; another major turn is coming soon; lots of new angles that aren’t being spelled out yet. They’re going to change up their tv as well, but if the shows all remain basically duplicates that might keep ratings down and make them worse. And the plan is currently for every hour they tape to go to two different shows, with a different commentary team depending on which show. Nikita might do an interview with Gregory for the Florida show and then immediately do a simiar interview with JR for UWF. Dave thinks basically duplicating tv shows with only interviewer and announce team differences is going to tank ratings when fans figure it out. On the pus side, the shows have improved.
  • Paul Boesch has come out of retirement and is trying to rebuild the Houston market with Crockett.
  • New Japan and All Japan have concluded their tag tournaments. New Japan’s was in Osaka on December 7 in front of a crowd of 6,120 and shown live on tv. Fijunami & Kimura were tied for second with Masa Saito & Fujiwara and had to face them in a battle to determine who would face Inoki & Dick Murdoch in the final. The final was a bloody and excellent match, and Kimura bled a lot before he and Fujinami won. With Choshu and Maeda not involved, the tournament lacked interest.
  • The biggest story of the New Japan tournament happened on November 19 during a match between Choshu/Masa Saito/Hiro Saito vs. Maeda/Takada/Kido. Japanese Wrestling Journal reports that Maeda wouldn’t sell for Choshu at all and Maeda shot on Choshu. Choshu eventually figured out what was happening, and at one point Choshu had Kido in the Scorpion Deathlock when Maeda kicked him in the eye legit. Choshu went after Maeda, and the rest of the teams had to break it up. Eventually the match ended with Choshu pinning Takada with a lariat, and nobody knows why Maeda did it. The crowd was mostly UWF Japan fans, and they cheered Maeda on the whole time because they wanted to see a shoot. This took both out of the tournament, and the Journal reports it destroyed the tournament and left Choshu with two broken bones under the eye.
Watch: Maeda shoot kicks Choshu's eye
  • The match was taped, but it’s understood that it will never air on tv and has caused a major PR shitstorm for New Japan. How do you explain suspending someone for a kick to the face to the public when that happens in every match? You can’t do it without going into the distinction between shooting and working and toward no semblance of kayfabe at all. Maeda has only kept his job because New Japan decided to spin an angle out of it. He’ll be punished and knocked down a few pegs and do a lot of jobs to keep his job, no doubt there. Seiki Sakaguchi believes Maeda’s style is hard for fans to understand and may be why ratings are so low, so they’ll be phasing down on Maeda’s shoot style. Dave believes Choshu and Saito was supoosed to be the winning team.
  • All Japan’s tournament final took place on December 11 before a crowd of 13,200. Jumbo Tsuruta and Yoshiaki Yatsu beat Brody and Snuka in the final, with Yatsu pinning Snuka after pulling a midair reversal of a dragon suplex.
  • Dusty Rhodes is “thinking” about retiring. For a long time, it’s been said Dusty was going to retire after Starrcade 1988, so this may be legit. Then again, Dusty saw how over Terry Funk got when he announced his retirement, and Dusty never misses a trick.
  • The winners of all the Bunkhouse Stampedes will participate in the big one on Januay 24 on ppv. Dave wishes them good luck on their first national ppv attempt, because they need it.
  • JCP ends too many tv shows with main events in progress. Dave’s not opposed to the idea in theory, since leaving your audience wanting is proven to work. But with where they are, they need to satiate their fans’ want for a little while.
  • Steve Williams hasn’t made his heel turn yet, but expect it before year’s end. Williams does introduce some problems, like contacting New Japan to add four weeks per year to his schedule, which now is up to 16 weeks. He’s been threatening to quit the NWA on and off for the past year but never goes through with it. So until something concrete happens, Dave’s not going to take it too serious. 16 weeks in Japan at the rate Williams gets paid is about $92,000, which isn’t bad for someone with 36 weeks of leisure time outside that.
  • JCP is full of injuries now. Rick Steiner has a separated shoulder. Barry Windham’s collarbone is broken, and Ricky Morton’s got a bum back.
  • The UWF Tag Belts have been forgotten. No idea what the status of the Sheepherders is, but they aren’t the champions anymore and the belts (along with the Florida tag belts) will simply no longer be referenced. Steve Keirn also quit the promotion, apparently to go to either Memphis or Global.
  • [Stampede] Jason the Terrible turned face and things are heating up and they’re selling out more often than not right now. Jason beat Zodiak in a mask match and unmasked Orton, who then left the territory. The Badnews Allen attacked Jason and sprayed paint through his mask into his eyes, before unmasking him.
Watch: The end of "one heck of a ring-ding-dong-dandy"
  • Stampede are kayfabing Hiroshi Hase’s return to Japan as forced retirement due to injuries inflicted by Jason.
  • The Iran-Iraq war isn’t enough to stop pro wrestling in the Middle East. Foreign wrestlers are being kept out right now, though.
  • Curt Hennig had to be hospitalized after AWA’s show on November 28. He was wrestling Wahoo McDaniel in an Indian Strap Match for the title when Adrian Adonis interfered and used a knife to cut the strap, but wound up cutting Curt’s finger. Somehow this wound up with Curt getting disqualified over the interference (I guess since Adonis was attempting to act on his behalf), and it was thought for a bit that he might lose some of the finger.
  • AWA was supposed to do the tournament for their women’s title on November 28, but have delayed it. Instead, Madusa pinned Bambi in a shitty match and the tournament final is scheduled for December 27 in Vegas. Madusa vs. Candi Divine.
  • Verne Gagne and Larry Hennig will not be wrestling on the Christmas show for AWA. It’ll be Greg vs. Curt with Verne handcuffed to Larry at ringside.
  • WCCW’s Christmas card is shaping up. Al Perez vs. Kerry Von Erich for the world title will headline. No second guesses who wins there. The Six-man tag titles will return as well.
  • The big question for WCCW is how they handle the return of Lance. He’s under contract with David Manning to work independents and eventually Manning’s promotion if he can get it off the ground, but in the meantime he was working for Wild West. No idea what Manning’s relationship with the new WCCW will be like, so who knows what Lance will wind up at.
  • WCCW’s Thanksgiving show drew 6,000 at Reunion Arena in Dallas. It’s less than Dave had anticipated (ticket prices were way down - general admission was $5 for adults and $3 for kids). Kerry’s comeback match (he’d been back for several weeks, but don’t expect honesty from Von Erich promotion) was 57 seconds against Thing, then Brian Adias, and finally a non-title match against Perez. He won all three matches. Perez then lost another non-title Texas Death Match against Kevin.
  • Memphis unified all their singles titles in a tournament on December 7. They had Lawler (Southern Champion), Jeff Jarrett (Mid American Champion), and Manny Fernndez (International Champion) in, and the goal was to get rid of all the titles and declare a Continental Wrestling Association Champion. They’re still recognizing Curt Hennig as World champion, so this isn’t a world title. Lawler beat Jarrett then beat Fernandez by DQ to win the tournament.
  • The Rockers are the Southern tag champs in Memphis and have turned heel. Their reputation for being great workers is clashing with the reports of them in Memphis as basically doing almost nothing in Memphis. After seeing their work in Alabama, Dave thought they just had an ego and thought they were too good for the area. Folks in Memphis are blaming it on their wild partying. Fans weren’t going for them as faces anymore due to their cocky interviews and because they see the Rockers as ripoffs of the Fabulous Ones (a comparison Dave does not get in the slightest), so they needed to be turned.
  • World Organization Wrestling in Florida are talking about running shows in direct competition with Memphis wrestling. One of the guys they’ve got is a muscular guy managed by Don Fargo by the name of Bob Holly.
  • Former Kansas State footballer and wrestler Curtis Hughes (the future Mr. Hughes of WCW/WWF) has been refereeing in Alabama and is training to start wrestling.
  • Shunji Takano (Ninja in Oregon) was on trial in mid November for allegedly hitting a fan with his nunchucks in Eugene, Oregon back in July. He was found guilty and fined $250. His jail sentence was suspended and he has been instead sentenced to community service.
  • Dave doesn’t know what’s aired and what hasn’t, so here’s what he knows about the DiBiase/Hogan program. DiBiase offers Hogan “7 figures” for the World Title, and Hogan considers it and says he could help his family with the money, but he turns down the offer because he can’t let down the Hulkamaniacs. Then DiBiase makes an agreement with Heenan and Andre that if Andre wins the title, he’ll sell it to DiBiase and get the deal Hogan turned down. Dave thinks the idea of buying/selling the belt is stupid, but it’s less stupid with WWF since they don’t pretend to be a sport. This would be worse in NWA. Anyway, this should all be building toward Wrestlemania and Hogan’s scheduled to leave for a few months to film a movie after Wrestlemania, so rumors will fly that Andre will beat Hogan and sell out to DiBiase. It’d be the first time in WWF history the belt was around the waist of a great wrestler, at least.
  • WWF taped the Saturday Night’s Main Event for January 2 in front of 11,000 fans. The attendance has to be a disappointment considering the hype. Hogan beat Bundy again, which led to Andre attacking and stealing the belt before beating up several other faces and even no-selling Duggan’s 2x4. Strike Force beat the Bolsheviks in two straight falls to keep the tag titles, Jake Roberts beat Sika (who’s back because Killer Khan disappeared and they needed a foreign guy, and whatever got Sika fired was apparently not major enough to make them forget about him), and Greg Valentine beat Koko B. Ware.
  • A source at the last MSG show said the Jumping Bomb Angels got twice the reaction for their match as Savage did for his. Dave isn’t sure WWF will ever get a number 2 face over enough he can draw gates on his own. Aside from Rock/Austin falling in their lap and doing just that through sheer force of will, I think this is something they never did figure out.
  • That’s the length of a regular issue, but this is a double and Dave is going to tell us about his trip to Japan for the next ten pages. It’s a fascinating place. Nobody knows who Joe Montana is, but everyone knows Abdullah the Butcher. Wrestling is big business in Japan, and they tend to set the trends that come to the U.S. several years later. Toys, action figures, records, even Hulkamania were a big deal in Japan well before anyone in the U.S. envisioned it. Vince McMahon gets a lot of credit as a genius in marketing pro wrestling, but he toured Japan several times before 1984 and recreated what they had there. Hogan as an American hero is just the American version of Inoki, with just as big an ego. The albums, t-shirts, action figures, and the rest are all extensions of what Japan had from the 70s on. Vince’s failed attempts to push women’s wrestling came as a result of seeing that they could do big business in Japan. The only thing Vince hasn’t copied from Japan is the work ethic of the wrestlers.
  • While wrestlers in Japan are on tv commercials and talk shows all the time, that doesn’t make the industry stable. Dave’s first trip to Japan was in December 1984, and a lot has changed since then. All Japan was on top and clearly outclassed everything else, and while New Japan was suffering from its arrangement with WWF it still had a big audience on tv. The Crush Gals were the rock & wrestling idols of Japan for the teen set, and their posters were all over record stores and merch available everywhere. Dave didn’t go to an All Japan Women show in 1984 and regrets that deeply, but in every record or book store he went to, the Crush Gals’ popularity was inescapable.
  • Compared to UWF and Crockett in 1987, it’s hard to look at Japan as in a bad way, but this year’s trip was different. In Tokyo there were ten stores that catered specifically to wrestling fans back in 1984, compared to five now. Only three weekly magazines are left standing and one monthly, and the monthly is strictly joshi. The Chigusa Nagayo and Riki Choshu calendars are around, but gone are the Crush Gals, Tiger Mask, Stan Hansen, and Choshu records and the posters of the joshi. The most they found was a new 45 by Fujiwara. The lack of the joshi posters is probably due to idol culture in Japan, where they can take a teen, turn her into a rock star, and spit her out in two years. Nearly every teen idol name Dave remembers from his trip three years ago has disappeared from the stores and replaced with new 17-year-olds. The fact that Chigusa Nagayo has managed to increase in popularity and maintain a hold in the mainstream now that she’s 23 has to do with, in Dave’s mind, her improvement of her wrestling to become the best there is in the entire business.
  • If wrestling has declined over the past few years in Japan, that doesn't mean it’s not still the ultimate experience for a fan. The sheer volume of wrestling coverage is unfathomable to an American. The daily newspaper had a full page devoted to Starrcade and Survivor Series, while American newspapers ignored the results. The death of Kazuhau Sonoda was the lead story in several newspapers, and even though he was just a mid-card guy his death was covered more than American newspapers would cover the hypothetical of Hogan going down in a plane crash. Dave spends a lot of time going over the Japanese wrestling magazine landscape. He managed to work out a deal on getting a lot of magazines to bring back to America for people to be able to buy cheaper than by import subscription.
  • Dave talks at length about the presentation of wrestling and the fan demographics in Japan. It’s much more sports-like in presentation, and lack the surreal characters, skits, promos, etc. that attract audiences in the U.S. Ticket prices are higher in Japan with the cheap seats as low as $16 (the bigger shows cost $75 for ringside). So the audience is wealthier and more white collar than in the U.S. In the major cities, the fans are almost entirely boys and men between the ages of 15-30. The audience grows older in smaller towns, accounting for the continuing popularity of guys like Baba and Inoki.
  • He next explains the basics of men’s wrestling in Japan: what New Japan and All Japan are, who their big stars are, etc.. All Japan is more reliant on foreign stars and New Japan relies more heavily on feuds between Japanese wrestlers. He compares Inoki to Dusty, in that he’s popular and pushes himself high on the card, and hardcore fans don’t like him much but unlike Dusty he’s really considered a legend by everyon in Japan. That is one of four reasons people in Japan gave Dave for why New Japan has been suffering in the ratings. The other big reasons are that Japanese culture is still interested in seeing the Japanese prevail over the big, monstrous Americans and New Japan has almost none of those. There’s also a feeling that New Japan’s style is perhaps too esoteric and too heavy on submissions for the casual fan to catch on to. Lastly, they aren’t fans of people changing jobs and bouncing between promotions. Nobody minded when Choshu jumped to All Japan in 1984 because he said a lot of things about Inoki that fans took as true. Jumping back to Inoki purely because he wanted more money and thus breaching contract and making a whole legal thing of it has not been received well in Japan, though, and the jump is popularly felt to have almost killed wrestling in Japan.
  • The five New Japan shows Dave went to while in Japan made good money at the gate, but the big issue is tv. TV-Asahi has lost interest due to bad ratings and have turned down the request to host the Crockett Cup in April, and New Japan’s tv is in danger of being moved to midnight Mondays or off the air entirely. Landing an afternoon slot on the weekend would be the best goal.
  • The tv ratings issue is pushing Inoki to try some wild things, the most controversial of which is currently an angle involving a comedian named Mr. Takeshi. Takeshi was once the most famous comedian in the country and is analogous to a Don Rickles or Johnny Carson now, and he’s doing a Cyndi LaupeAndy Kaufman type of angle with Inoki, saying he’s putting together a group to beat Inoki, with a probable end point of a Tokyo Dome show in April. New Japan’s fanbase hate this angle. But New Japan needs to hope the fans stick around and they can get new eyes on the promotion and convert them to fans. It’s the same gamble Vince made with Cyndi Lauper and Mr. T, and it helped cement Hogan. Masa Saito is involved with Takeshi in the storyline and the first involvement of Takeshi will be at the December 27 show, with Takeshi being given the role of bringing over a massive guy named Leon White in as Saito’s partner against Fujinami and Kimura.
  • All Japan is more stable than New Japan right now. Choshu leaving certainly hurt them, but they’ve recovered and are doing steady business now that Tenryu is hitting his stride as a heel. Bruiser Brody and Abdullah the Butcher returning has been a big boon. Tv ratings arent spectacular, but they’re safe and doing better than New Japan (New Japan’s range from 6-9, All Japan sits in a consistent 11-12 range).
  • The last promotion Dave covers is All Japan Women, and he finds it hard to explain. The best explanation he can give is this description of an event on December 6 at Korauken Hall:
about 2,400 teenage girls log-jammed in an 1,800 seat building breaking every fire law known to mankind. It was the best live card I’ve seen in at least three years and the main event was by far the greatest match I’ve ever seen live. In fact I’d say without question it was better than any match ever held in the United States in the history of this business. It was a 12-girl tag team match with the most falls before curfew deciding the winner, and he rates it 5 stars. The match went 50 minutes of nothing but high spots and the crowd was screaming at about double the level of a Hulk Hogan posing routine for the entire time. When Chigusa Nagayo was squaring off against Lioness Asuka, the roar was louder than you’d here [sic] in the seventh game of an NBA championship series with 18 seconds left and the home team down by one. I’ve never experienced anything like the energy that comes out of the crowd, and the girls in the ring worked every bit as hard as the crowd. The girls are on TV on the Fuji network and while they consistently draw 7s plus on Saturday afternoons, the week we were there they drew an 11.3 rating. To give you an example of the popularity of this group in Japan--that rating for one show is higher than the rating of all McMahon’s syndicated shows in the United States put together. In fact, it’s roughly the same as the rating that McMahon’s best Saturday Night Main Event NBC special drew, so when I compare the importance of Chigusa with Hulk Hogan it is not an outlandish statement at all.
  • Despite putting on the best wrestling in the world, AJW’s audience is almost 100% teenage girls. They live and breathe Chigusa Nagayo. The fans who go to men’s cards don’t go to women’s cards in Japan, and the fans and reporters Dave met could not understand why he and his group were so interested in an AJW card. There’s a negative stigma about women’s wrestling in Japan among the fans, probably because the show is designed to appeal to a teen girl’s interests. But it wouldn’t surprise Dave if AJW was as profitable as any other major promotion. They have the ratings (Japanese promotions are paid by their networks, rather than the other way around like in the U.S.) and more importantly, they have major merch - about 15 minutes before the show mentioned above, only 150 people were seated. But then one of the guys Dave was with pointed him to the lobby, and about 1,500 girls were buying all of the merch. Videos, cassettes, posters, keychains, purses, wallets, Dump Matsumoto gym shorts, shopping bags, books, programs, streamers - you name it, they were buying it. Given ticket prices, Dave estimates the gate at about $75,000, and they probably more than doubled that with merch and concessions. There were also other Americans at the AJW show, which you don’t see as much at men’s cards. Based on American reactions to Dump Matsumoto, Dave believes if she were given quality opponents and allowed to work without restriction, she’d make women’s wrestling huge in the U.S. She and Chigusa have drawn several times gates of more than $200,000 (Crockett only did that twice this year - the WarGames matches in Atlanta and Miami, and Hogan did it about a dozen times this year).
  • The main attraction of the show was that it was Devil Masami’s retirement show. AJW has a mandatory retirement age of 26 (only Dump Matsumoto has been granted an exception by the promotion), and Masami turns 26 on January 7. Dave’s not clear on the reasons, but he figures it probably goes back to the idol culture thing - promote them young, wring out every drop of marketability, spit them out and bring the next fresh crop in. It keeps the stars relatable to the audience, Dave supposes. Some argue that they like their female stars young and cute, but Dave doesn’t see that as a major reason if there’s no men in the audience. Masami’s final match was a five minute exhibition with Chigusa, and the crowd went silent for it out of respect. Chigusa bumped for Masami for the most part, and in the final 45 seconds or so of the match, when Dave thought they’d turn on the intensity, both women broke down in tears together, and the crowd broke down with them. Masami is expected not to stay retired, but to leave Japan to continue her career.
  • Dave does note some positive things that come out of the age rule AJW has. For one thing, pro wrestling is part of pop culture, but pro wrestling promoters have a really bad understanding of pop culture. Some musical groups have long runs, but most groups that get hot don’t last long and the fizzle quick. The average run for any kind of teen heartthrob to last in pop culture is about two years. Hogan cannot simply sell out a building by showing up. The Rock & Roll Express and Road Warriors can’t draw big numbers by themselves anymore. By having the age rule, AJW forces the constant development and pushing of new talent to the top, which keeps things from getting stale. It keeps you from having a Dusty Rhodes who is still popular and somewhat legendary, but turns other people off. Dave isn’t in favor of the rule at all or any kind of mandatory retirement - he’d still love to watch Bockwinkel or Masa Saito five days a week, but it’s undeniable that the business has been hurt by guys staying long past their prime and using what political power they have to stay on top. It’s hurt by promotions who don’t build stars and only think about the upcoming card, never realizing you need to sometimes tear the whole business down and rebuild and freshen things up to keep alive in the long run.
  • Anyways, Dave runs down some of the key wrestlers in AJW and talks about them. You’ve got Lioness Asuka and Chigusa Nagayo, Dump Matsumoto, the Jumping Bomb Angels, Yukari Omori (nearing retirement age), Yumi Ogura and Kazue Nagahori (both very young and coming up as a top babyface team), Bull Nakano (19 years old and already a top tier worker), and Condor Saito.
  • Dave then gives complete results and ratings for every card he saw during his trip. I’ll stick to negative stars and 4+ star matches for matches of note. December 11 All Japan had Tenryu/Hara vs. Hansen/Gordy go to a double count out in the tag tournament. 4.5 stars. December 6 AJW had Dump Matsumoto vs. Yukari Omori go to a double count out. 4.5 stars of an absolutely bloody match that went all around the arena and included a fork (American fans started cheering Dump after she got out the fork, and she blew them kisses in response, though Dave makes a shitty joke about Americans cheering for a fork after having to use chopsticks). The 12-woman tag match mentioned above gets 5 stars and is the best thing Dave’s ever seen live. December 3 New Japan has Shiro Koshinaka & Kazuo Yamazaki & Keiichi Yamada beat Hiro Saito & Norio Honaga & Kensuke Sasaki in a six man match. 4.5 stars. They had another 6 man the next night where Yamazaki & Nobuhiko Takada & Yamada beat Hiro Saito & Honaga & Dynamite Chris. 4.5 stars. Antonio Inoki & Dick Murdoch vs. Masa Saito & Fujiwara went to a 30 minute draw on the same show. 4 stars. Lastly, New Japan saw Fujinami & Kimura beat Masa Saito & Fujiwara in the tournament semi-final on December 7. 4 stars.
Watch: Hansen/Gordy vs. Tenryu/Hara

Coronavirus, Spanish flu, Influenza, Marconi, Tesla, Radio and Electrification

FROM ARTHUR FIRSTENBERG, author INVISIBLE RAINBOW --
As I write this, the world -- or a very large part of it -- is effectively under martial law. To protect against a proposed enemy named coronavirus (COVID-19), schools have been closed, airline flights scrapped, theaters and restaurants shut down, churches shuttered, curfews put in place, public gatherings prohibited, national borders closed, people told not to touch or go near each other, every surface, door knob and human hand smothered with toxic disinfectant, and the population ordered to “shelter in place” in their homes.
And the people, from the USA to Norway to Bolivia to Australia to Egypt to Indonesia, have obeyed, not only without much protest, but with enthusiasm.
My inbox and voicemail are flooded with contradictory “information,” little of which is verifiable, less of which makes any sense, that is tailored to favorite points of scientific and political view. No one is looking at the big picture. No one is noticing that the mortality rates from all causes are going down, not up in most countries.
WHAT CAUSED THE 1918 "SPANISH INFLUENZA"?
This is not the first time a scare about a viral pandemic has swept the world. We have previously heard predictions -- none of which came true -- that swine flu, bird flu, SARS, MERS, West Nile virus, Zika virus and Ebola were going to kill millions of people. Notably, all of these scares have occurred after the Internet replaced human contact as the predominant means of communica-tion, and words and pictures on a screen replaced reality. Today, this has gone so far that people are finally willing to shut down the world rather than notice what is going on around them.
I do not pretend that there is no basis at all for these predictions. Behind all the hysteria is a fear that the catastrophe that was the “Spanish Influenza” of 1918-1921 will repeat itself. The 1918 flu, after all, sickened one-third of the world’s population and killed an estimated fifty million people.
But there are a number of important facts about the 1918 flu that are not widely known:
The 1918 flu was not caused by a virus. The 1918 flu was not contagious and did not spread by direct human-to-human contact. The 1918 flu began on U.S. military bases where soldiers were being trained in wireless telegraphy. It spread throughout the world on ten thousand U.S. Navy ships equipped with state-of-the-art wireless stations. It became much more deadly in September 1918 when the first round-the-clock voice radio station powerful enough to be received in most parts of the world went on the air in New Brunswick, New Jersey in service of the U.S. war effort, thereby launching the modern era of radio communication.
Efforts by doctors working for the U.S. Public Health Service to prove the contagious nature of the 1918 flu were heroic and resulted in resounding and repeated failure. In November and December 1918 and in February and March 1919, they attempted to infect one hundred healthy volunteers with influenza in the following ways:
They put secretions from the mouth, nose, throat and bronchi from hospitalized influenza patients into the nose, throat and eyes of volunteers; They injected blood from sick patients into volunteers; They filtered mucous material from sick ptients and injected it under the skin of volunteers; They had volunteers shake hands with sick patients, talk to them, faces close together, for five minutes, then had the patient breathe out as hard as he could while the volunteer, two inches away, was breathing in, then had the patient cough directly into the face of the volunteer, five times.
None of the volunteers in any of these experiments got sick in any way.
Similar attempts to infect healthy horses with secretions from horses sick with influenza resulted in the same resounding failure.
These experiments, and other facts about the 1918 flu, as well as about influenza in general, are thoroughly discussed and documented in chapters 7, 8 and 9 of my book, The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life (AGB Press 2017, Chelsea Green 2020).
Historically, influenza was an unpredictable disease that struck without warning and without a schedule and disappeared as suddenly and mysteriously as it had arrived, not to be seen again for years or decades. It did not exist on this earth as an annual disease prior to the worldwide deployment of AC electricity for lights and power that occurred in 1889. Many of the doctors who were flooded with influenza in 1889 had never seen a case before. But influenza has not been absent anywhere on earth since.
What is most difficult for people to let go of is the notion, so deeply engrained in our society, that a disease is the same as a bacteria or a virus. This way of looking at the world, as a battlefied instead of a community, is wrong. Yes, there is a respiratory virus associated with influenza. No, the virus does not cause the disease. Influenza is a neurological disease that can affect almost every organ, with or without respiratory symptoms. It is caused by electricity.
Especially now, the world needs to know these things. Once it is understood that the 1918 flu was not caused by a virus and was not spread by contagion, but was instead caused by the sudden spread of radio communication throughout the world, the hysteria should die down and the world can get back to normal, and go about the necessary business of getting rid of wireless technology. Radio waves have sickened and killed more of humanity in the past century than all of the bacteria and viruses combined. Also heart disease, diabetes and cancer (chapters 11, 12 and 13 of The Invisible Rainbow) are caused primarily by the sea of radiation with which our cell phones, cell towers, radio towers, radar stations, security systems, baby monitors, wireless computers, and other wireless devices and infrastructure have flooded our precious and fragile world.
The Coronavirus and 5G
I have been asked if I think the coronavirus disease is caused by 5G, and my answer is: not directly. But the parallels to 1918 are striking. Remember, the 1918 flu was not caused by a virus but by the proliferation of radio technology, to such an extent as to modify the electromagnetic environment of the Earth itself. The first, mild wave of the flu in the winter, spring and summer of 1918 was caused by the proliferation of thousands of wireless telegraphy stations, each having a limited geographic range and operating for a limited number of hours per day. The second wave, which lasted three full years, sickening one-third of humanity and killing ten percent of those it sickened, was caused by an escalation of radio from telegraphy to voice, part time to full time, and short-range to planet-wide.
That is parallel to what is happening today. 5G is escalating the radio assault on our planet to a new level, using much higher frequencies, much greater bandwidth, and much greater power levels. The first wave of the coronavirus has accompanied an enormous proliferation of 5G stations on the ground, each having a limited geographic range. This is shortly to be escalated from short-range to planet-wide, and from an indirect to a direct assault on the ionosphere, when thousands of 5G satellites go into operation this year and next.
A clue to the electromagnetic nature of the present pandemic comes from an interesting observation: as many as two-thirds of the people who test positive for the coronavirus have lost their sense of smell, and often that is their only symptom and they are otherwide not sick. (“Loss of sense of smell as marker of COVID-19 infection,” ENT UK). Loss of sense of smell is a classic sign of the disease that was called radio wave sickness in the former Soviet Union, and that is called electrical sensitivity today; often it is the only symptom of exposure to radio waves in otherwise healthy individuals. (“Investigation of the Olfactory Sensitivity in Persons Subjected to the Influence of UHF,” Ye. A. Lobanova and Z. V. Gordon, in The Biological Action of Ultrahigh Frequencies, A. A. Letavet and Z. V. Gordon, eds., Moscow 1960, JPRS 12471, pp. 50-56).
Another clue is the frequently reported effects of the coronavirus disease on the cardiovascular system, including “arrhythmias, hypotension, tachycardia, and a high proportion of concomitant cardiovascular disease in infected individuals.” This was reported on March 6, 2020 in Cardiology Magazine. These are also classic effects of exposure to radio waves.
A third clue is the astonishing variation in the severity of the current pandemic, regardless of the measures taken by governments to prevent person-to-person contact. Why, for exmaple, does Italy have 74,000 cases of coronavirus disease, and Japan only 1200? Eighty percent of the cases identified in Japan have not passed on the infection to anyone else. Tokyo, among the world’s most densely packed metropolitan areas with a population of 38 million, has almost no disease. This despite a nationwide quarantine and a shutdown of society in Italy, and few measures taken against the disease in Japan. There is no quarantine in Japan and bars, restaurants and clubs are busy and bustling. Temples are packed, and parks are filled with people viewing cherry blossoms. The subways are packed, and people are going to work, yet the disease does not spread. Japan has close contact with China, and did not even stop incoming flights from Hubei until February 1. Japan has an older population than Italy, and a higher rate of tobacco smoking.
The electrical nature of the disease would explain this too. Almost all of Japan is volcanic, and the electrical conductivity of the earth underneath Japan is higher than underneath most of Italy. Residents of Japan are therefore better grounded than residents of most of Italy, and are less affected by the radio waves around them. The volcanic regions of Italy -- Sicily and Campania -- have much lower rates of coronavirus than the rest of Italy. Patricia Ormsby, who lives in Japan, told me years ago that when she is in the United States she can feel a cell phone from a distance of 6 meters, but when she is in Japan she does not feel a cell phone until it comes within 3 meters of her. I live in Santa Fe for the same reason: I do not feel all the cell towers here because the conductivity of the earth underneath Santa Fe is so high.
Regardless of the origin or severity of the respiratory virus that is called COVID-19, the rollout of 5G is playing a large role in the current pandemic. Fear, social isolation and the shutdown of society are doing far more damage to the fabric of life than the virus ever could. It is time for society to get over its obsession with this microorganism and to turn to the emergency posed by wireless technology, on Earth and in space.
NOTE ABOUT PURCHASING MY BOOK
The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life was originally published in hardcover by AGB Press on Earth Day in 2017. I still have about 100 copies of the hardcover edition left, which will be for sale on my website for a few more days: www.cellphonetaskforce.org/buy-the-invisi ble-rainbow.
The book was just re-published, in paperback only, by Chelsea Green: www.chelseagreen.com/product/the-invisi ble-rainbow. But as it is a thick book, with almost 400 pages of text and an additional 150 pages of notes and bibliography, the hardcover edition is more durable, attractive, and comfortable to read. If you would like it to remain available in that format, write to Margo Baldwin, the publisher at Chelsea Green, and request that they please issue it again in hardcover.
If you live in another country and would like The Invisible Rainbow to be translated and published in your country in your language, contact Eliza Haun, the Direct of Rights at Chelsea Green, to make this request.
MORE REPORTS OF DYING AND DISAPPEARING INSECTS AND WILDLIFE
Here are some of the reports that I received in response to my last newsletter, “The Flames of Progress”, in which I documented the worldwide starvation of insects caused by microwave radiation, and the consequent starvation of birds, bats and frogs for lack of insects to eat:
Allan Hardman writes from Mexico:
“I am, like you, astounded by the silence. I also remember driving down the Central Valley of California from college to my parents’ house in the ‘60’s and stopping often to scrape and clean my windshield. That problem has now been solved -- kill the bugs! And the birds who ate them.”
Andrea Mercer writes from Colorado:
“I moved to Minnesota in 2006 in the summer. I would see bats flying through the streets and swarms of insects of many species in densities I had never experienced living in Oregon. Year after year they would disappear. Minnesota was saying it was white nose syndrome blaming that on the disappearance of bats. But it was more to me. The bats didn't have food... I found deformed dragonflies that couldn't fly in Minnesota.”
Rangaswami Ramakrishnan writes from India:
“In India we had sparrows which we used to call Indian Sparrows, with brown wings, and we used to see lots of them making nice noises and the whole variety is now missing in cities. There are still a few left in the villages... All due to 4G.”
Eva Goedhart writes from Los Angeles:
“It kills me watching the bees die everywhere I go. There are so many of them on tennis courts and in one spot in our backyard. I can’t figure out why I always see dead bees in the same spot. It makes total sense that they’re starving! We pick the bees up, bring them inside, put few drops of water and honey next to them and they eat! Sometimes they’re able to fly away!
“I’m 50 years old and I grew up in Poland and remember a totally different world. Frogs, toads, hedgehogs, tons of insects. Now I live in Los Angeles and it’s a true horror watching the towers popping up everywhere. Everything is slowly dying.”
Karen Eichstadt writes from South Africa:
“I remember those days where the wind screens would be smeared with insects. That almost never happens anymore. We are like the frogs in the pot of water and don’t even notice the temperature rising.”
Sam Samson writes from Scotland:
“I’m 71 and remember the myriad of insect and bird life. Yesterday I found a bat unable to get to roost, I tried to place it in a dry safe place, very unusual in winter.”
Warren Friedman writes from South Africa:
“I’ve been blaming EMF’s for the decline in insects for over twenty years. I miss the birds and bats.”
Jeanne Aymé-Martin writes from France:
“I do understand why you are so bewildered because I am too. We are very much concerned about the survival of a so low number of bees, insects, and bats in our garden and in nature in general.”
Francisco Gabiola Guerra writes from Belgium:
“When I go on holidays to the town in Spain where I was born, in the past in summer you heard all the time crickets in the fields, there were butterflies in the fields, you heard birds all the time, when you went to the fields there were honey bees everywhere. Today none of that is present.”
Antonia Holthuizen writes from the Netherlands:
“I live next to the woods. In May 2016, when I came to live here, there were always so many frogs on my driveway. I could hardly avoid them with my bike, there were that many. But in the last two years, I may be glad to see one, maybe two. One dragged itself to my doorstep. I talked to him, but didn't know how to help him. Next time I will pick him up and bring him to the woods where I, myself, can't feel the radiation anymore, and see if this might help him.
“Last year I also saw bumblebees stumbling across my lawn. I let one crawl over my hand, what a beautiful creature, wonderful. But I couldn't help them. They died. It became a bumblebee cemetery. Later I realised that they would die exactly there where I myself also suffered from the two masts, hidden in the church tower in the village.”
Connie Drummond writes from the UK:
“Insects have gone, small birds are not in the trees and we are left with a few kestrels and kites who, too, are starving and just circling the skies desperate for grub like vultures.”
Patricia Ormsby writes from Japan:
“5G got switched on in late February. Five days ago I noticed that the black kites (Milvus migrans) that used to roost around our vegetable field, that left our field when smart meters were installed but moved on to fields further away with no smart meters, have now fled those fields entirely. Totally empty sky, but lots and lots of ground birds in those fields. What kites still remain have moved to the forests. Each time I have gone out I have seen one or two kites attempt to fly out over the fields and then give up.”
Angela Foulds writes from Australia:
“In Melbourne millimetre wave trials across 25% of the city just began. This morning, on my walk with a neighbour we were mortified to see dead bees and insects on the ground throughout our hour long walk, all the way to a nature park and all along the streets back home.”
MORE SATELLITES LAUNCHED
On Wednesday, March 18, SpaceX launched 60 more satellites into space from Cape Canaveral, Florida, bringing the total of SpaceX’s Starlink satellites orbiting the earth to 350.
Also on March 18, OneWeb launched 34 more satellites into space from the Baikonur Cosmo-drome in Kazakhstan, bringing the total of OneWeb’s satellites orbiting the earth to 74.
None of these satellites have yet gone into operation, but on March 13, 2020, the Federal Communications Commission granted SpaceX permission to sell one million user devices to American customers. This has turned a long-standing concern into an emergency. For last fall, SpaceX announced its intention to begin providing 5G service to the northern United States and southern Canada after it had at least 400 satellites orbiting the earth. The threat to terrestrial life -- at least in portions of North America -- may now be only weeks away.
I have summarized the threat to life posed by SpaceX in previous newsletters but it bears repeating. The energy for life is provided not only by the food we eat and the air we breathe, but by the electricity that we imbibe from earth and sky, which circulates through our acupuncture meridians, feeding our organs from the day we are born until the day we die.
The source of the electricity that sustains us and circulates through our bodies is the earth’s own source of high voltage: the ionosphere. If we pollute that source with millions of pulsed, modulated frequencies, we will destroy all life on the surface of the Earth, including the birds in the sky and the fish in the oceans. And since they will all be orbiting in the ionosphere, that is exactly what all these satellites will do.
Astronomers study the circulation of energy between the sun and the ionosphere. Atmospheric physicists study the global electrical circuit between the ionosphere and the earth. Doctors of Oriental Medicine study the circulation of energy within our bodies. Geophysicists are studying the effects of power line radiation on the ionosphere. But nobody is looking at the whole picture. Nobody is asking what the massive pollution of this source of energy will do to the community of life that it nourishes. Experience with Iridium (now operating 66 satellites) and Globalstar (now operating 48 satellites) tells us that the extinction of life will not be gradual. If thousands of satellites are turned on at once, it will be sudden and devastating. If service begins with only hundreds of satellites to a limited part of the world, and increases to global coverage from thousands of satellites next year, it may be a little less sudden but the end result -- the extinction of most life -- will be the same.
NEW ORGANIZATION BEING CREATED Donations Needed
In my last newsletter, I asked for help in taking the fight to save the Earth to the next level: I proposed to create a new organization whose members do not own cell phones and whose mission is to end the use of cell phones on Earth. People from 24 countries have contacted me wanting to create this organization, and I am hiring an assistant to help me with the work.
Among the other projects that need funding are: outreach to the world’s major environmental organizations; a media campaign; outreach to Elon Musk and the board of directors and funders of SpaceX; and the ongoing litigation against 5G in federal court in New Mexico. Donations in any amount are appreciated.

is there a curfew in south africa november video

President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced that the country will remain on level 3 lockdown as Covid-19 infections and deaths soar, with restrictions on gatherings and the closure of 20 land ports of Mozambique to impose curfew to stop spread of South African variant more infectious variant of the virus first identified in South Africa had been present in the country since November 2020. South Africa's President, Cyril Ramaphosa, on Sunday re-imposed a night curfew and suspended alcohol sales as coronavirus infections spiked. South Africa's first booze ban, implemented in March was lifted on June 1. But on Sunday Ramaphosa rescinded the move, saying "there is now clear evidence that the resumption of alcohol sales has resulted in substantial pressure being put on hospitals, including trauma and ICU units, due to motor vehicle accidents, violence as well as trauma that is alcohol-induced." South Africa on Monday tightened COVID-19 restrictions, banning alcohol sales and extending a nationwide curfew, as infections shot through the one million mark owing to a faster-spreading variant of the disease discovered in the country. South Africa has recorded the highest number of coronavirus infections on continent, with 1,004,413 cases reported and nearly 27,000 deaths. The nationwide curfew is extended from 9pm to 6am. Re-opening of borders (As updated from Gazette 43897 of 11 November 2020) The 18 land borders which were partially operational, Countries impacted by South Africa's travel restrictions. (Gazette 43105 of 18 March 2020) (1) According to the Cabinet member, the total length of curfew will now be six hours a night, rather than seven: Curfew in South Africa will now be in force from 22:00 to 4:00 every single night
