Charles Eisenstein writes:

“Oh my goodness. The social illness that the pandemic launched into its active phase is far from over… I’d kinda like to move on… But I still have a lot to say that feels important to me. The COVID pandemic may be over (or it may not be), but the process it initiated has hardly begun…

We carry some unresolved feelings that make us resistant to going back to normal and forgetting it all happened. It isn’t that we are vindictive. It is tempting just to let everyone forget the whole thing. To let people forget that they excluded, denounced, canceled, censored, and ostracized us. I am willing to let bygones be bygones, except for one thing: How are we to know it won’t happen again? Partly it’s a matter of PTSD: I don’t feel very safe among these people. But more important than my own comfort or safety is what kind of world my descendants will live in. As George Santayana famously wrote, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. I fear the possibility that pandemania will become permanent, woven into our social and political institutions, our habits, taboos, and norms…”

Kit Knightly in The Off-Guardian reports:

“Since the ‘bird flu outbreak’ first hit the headlines OffG has been predicting how the inevitable agenda would unfold. The first impact was as obvious as it was predictable – the price of chicken and eggs went up, this was just another front in the war on food.

The second planned impact was less immediate, but just as predictable if you know how to read the media, and potentially far more harmful in the long-term – clamping down on alternative chicken farming. This includes both organic farms and individuals keeping their own chickens in their garden.

It didn’t take long for the media to prove us right. In fact, the Guardian has done it twice in the last ten days.

Firstly, last Thursday, the Guardian ran this article: “Spread of ‘free-range’ farming may raise risk of animal-borne pandemics – study”

Sponsored by the NGO Open Philanthropy, this piece reports that organic and free-range farming could increase the risk of a zoonotic disease outbreak, and quotes the authors of this new study.

‘If we can’t dramatically cut meat consumption then intensive ‘factory farming’ may be comparatively less risky.’”

Mikaela Conley writes in The Guardian:

“There’s a hidden ingredient used as a whitener in an array of foods, from candies and pastries to cheeses and gum. It’s called titanium dioxide, and while commonly used in the US, it’s being banned in the EU as a possible carcinogen. The additive, also known as E171, joins a host of other chemicals that are banned in foods in the European Union but allowed in the US.

These include Azodicarbonamide, a whitening agent found in food such as breads, bagels, pizza, and pastries in the US, which has been banned in the EU for more than a decade. Known as the “yoga mat’’ chemical because it is often found in foamed plastic, the additive has been linked to asthma and respiratory issues in exposed workers and, when baked, to cancer in mice studies.

Potassium bromate, an oxidizing agent often found in bread and dough and linked in animal studies to kidney and thyroid cancers, has been banned in the EU since 1990 but is still commonly used in the US. Brominated vegetable oil is also banned in the EU but is used as an emulsifier in citrus sodas and drinks in the US. Long-term exposure has been linked to headaches, memory loss and impaired coordination.

The Food and Drug Administration classifies these food chemicals, and many others prohibited by the EU, as ‘generally recognized as safe.’ “

Robert Malone writes:

“Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò was the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States from 2011 to 2016. He also previously served as Secretary-General of the Governorate of the Vatican City State from 2009 to 2011. He is notable for his role in bringing to light scandals and corruption within the hierarchy of the Catholic Church and in the world, especially in revealing the wide-spread cover-up of the abuses of (U.S. Cardinal and accused sex-predator) Theodore McCarrick.”

As Archbishop Vigano puts it:

“…we are governed by a high command of usurers and speculators, from Bill Gates who invests in large farms right on the eve of the food emergency or in vaccines just before the outbreak of the pandemic, to George Soros, who speculates on the fluctuations of currencies and government bonds and along with Hunter Biden finances a bio-laboratory in Ukraine.

To think that there is no relationship between the instigators of these crimes and those who carry them out at the highest levels of national governments, the EU, and the UN is a sign of bad faith, because even a child could understand that we are held hostage by a group of technocrats who are ideologically deviant and morally corrupt. The peoples of the world need to reclaim their sovereignty, which has been usurped by the globalist elite.

The instigators of this crime show themselves proudly at the Davos Forum, at meetings of the Trilateral Commission or the Bilderberg Group along with the rulers, prime ministers, directors of newspapers and television broadcasters, CEOs of social bankers and directors of social platforms and multinational corporations, bankers and directors of ratings agencies, presidents of foundations and self-styled philanthropists. All of these share the same agenda – which they publish on their websites – and are so confident in their own power that they affirm it with impunity – as Soros and Schwab have recently done – that it is necessary to create a narrative to be conveyed through the mainstream media, in order to make their decisions acceptable to the people. They embrace censorship and mass manipulation as instrumentum regni, and we have had proof of this both with the pandemic farce as well as with the pro-Zelensky propaganda in Ukraine.

We must understand that our rulers are traitors of our Nation… It is not a problem of inexperience or inability but rather of an intentio nocendi – a deliberate intention to harm. Honest citizens find it inconceivable that those who govern them could do it with the perverse intention of undermining and destroying them, so much so that they find it very hard to believe. The main cause of this very serious problem is found in the corruption of authority along with the resigned obedience of those who are governed… Respect for authority is connatural to civilized man, but it is necessary to distinguish between obedience and servility… The good citizen should know how to disobey civil authority, and the good Catholic how to do the same with ecclesiastical authority, disobeying whenever the authority demands obedience to an iniquitous order.”

Although Washington, Silicon Valley, Big Media, Big Pharma, and the military/biowar complex continue to regurgitate the Official Narrative (more COVID, more monkeypox, more gene jabs, more war, more biolabs, more genetically engineered lab food, more billionaire profits, more fear-mongering, more government control over our speech, movement, bodies, livelihoods, and children), there are clear signs of resistance and Regeneration emerging.

After 2 ½ years of suffering under mass formation/psychosis, physical and mental lockdown—hunkered down, divided, defamed, censored, and degraded by a money-crazed, power-mad cabal of Technocrats and Biofascists, subjective and objective conditions are ripening. Now is the time to break the spell of mass propaganda and fear. Now is the time to declare our sovereign independence and interdependence. Now is the time to build a New Nation, a parallel commonwealth in our local communities and regions of organic food, natural health, grassroots education, liberation culture, independent politics, and regenerative commerce.

Recent polls and personal experience tell us at OCA that a critical mass of the body politic are fed-up and disgusted, ready to start turning away from discredited Establishment politicians (including both Biden and Trump) and the two dominant political parties, know-nothing medical authoritarians, vaccine profiteers, and the global elite. A new populist majority (transcending the failed ethics and politics of both the traditional liberal/left and the conservative/right) are ready to break down the walls that divide us, regenerate our health and our spirits, and build a New Nation on the rubble of the so-called United States and United Nations. This epic journey and struggle will not be easy, but tapping in to the power of Mother Earth and the Great Spirit, and channeling the incredible power of love, human creativity, and solidarity, we still have enough time left to turn things around.

One of our most important contemporary visionaries, Tessa Lena, reminds us that our subjective/psychological health (i.e. the state of our souls) is all-important:

“It is my belief that this time is an opportunity for coming alive spiritually, and that we have to deal with the Great Reset today because in the past, for centuries, we have not dealt with the proverbial ghost of domination as the leading principle of organizing our life. Meanwhile, the technology has been getting more and more capable — and so our aspiring masters now think that they have all the tools to dominate us with a smiley faced digital fist. The technology is new; the principle is old.

And so I believe that predators are like toxic, bitter medicine, and their existential role is cure us of delusions, bad habits, fear, and complacency. Their power depends on how afraid we are of trusting the spirit and doing things from love. It depends on our cooperation — not just with their horrible agendas — but also with their general methodology.

I think it’s impossible to fight for light and play by the rules of darkness. The predators exist to remind us of light. They exist so that we remember that the principle of domination is not our friend, and has never been. It has never been our friend regardless of who was the abused and who was the abuser. It has never been our friend because in the end, this ghost always turns around and bites its messenger, too.”
