We Are Under Attack

Facebook, Silicon Valley, and Big Pharma, along with their partners in crime—Monsanto, out-of-control gene-engineers, the military-industrial-chemical complex, and corporate agribusiness—would love for OCA and our allies to disappear.

They are tired of us exposing their greed, mad science, corporate crimes, criminal negligence, and the fact that they can literally get away with murder. 

Increasingly they are running scared, because they know that their GMOs and Warp Speed messenger RNA vaccines are under scrutiny. They can see that a potential critical mass of the global grassroots is waking up to the truth, and their greatest fear is materializing—that someday they will be brought to justice.

Big Tech and the Deep State may censor us and block our social media communications.  But we will never give up. We will never compromise in our search and struggle for truth, regeneration, health, participatory democracy, and justice.

But now we need your help, more than ever.

Great Reset
SURVEILLANCE

The Great Reset or the Great Divide?

Dr. Rob Verkerk, from the Alliance for Natural Health International, provides us with a comprehensive critique of the World Economic Forum’s controversial “Great Reset,” endorsed by Bill Gates, Joe Biden, Big Pharma, and much of the global elite. As Verkerk points out, the World Economic Forum’s exit strategy from Covid-19 may sound appealing to some at first glance, but is based upon false and dangerous assumptions:

“The power of [the Great Reset] vision is that along with the massive disruption it requires to take form, it also dangles enough carrots in front of us to make at least some of it seem appealing. Take, just for starters, solving three of the current biggest issues of our time: poverty, inequality and climate change. These are all close to the top of the priority list of anyone with a social and environmental conscience, whether left- or right-leaning…  [but] The Great Reset involves changes to almost every facet of our lives – how we work, how we get paid and pay for things, what kind of medicines we need, how we’re monitored, how we share information, how we travel… do you want to be surveilled 24/7, not just where you are, but – how you are? What about allowing others to control how you function or even think? Or are you happy for others to read your thoughts, all without you even knowing it? And how about signing up to a new social contract that requires you, for the sake of others, to share all sorts of things you once thought were safeguarded by an inalienable right to privacy?”

COVID-19

Collateral Damage of the COVID-19 Lockdowns

The website Collateral Global provides an ongoing report on the collateral damage—physical, mental, social, economic, political, and educational—of what are, in most cases, well-intentioned but misguided and disastrous mitigation strategies and lockdowns across the world. Here is a sampling of collateral damage across the world:

“Illness and hospital admissions directly related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been infrequent for children and young people; however, pandemic-related service closures have resulted in limited access to primary and secondary health care, parental fear of seeking health care, closures of daycares and schools, and employment and financial instability. Adverse childhood experiences, [include] family violence, non-accidental trauma and mental illness…” (CMAJ

“New research from Drinkaware reveals that around two in five (38%) of people on furlough and a third (33%) of parents with at least one child under 18 are drinking more alcohol since the start of lockdown.” (Drinkaware

“4 in 10 people replied their opioid use had increased or greatly increased during the first 4 weeks of the outbreak. Half of these respondents said their benzos use had increased or greatly increased during the first 4 weeks of the outbreak. We now know that anti-anxiety medication prescriptions have gone up by 34% in the US…” (Drugs and Me)

“A 60% increase in emergency calls from women subjected to violence by their intimate partner has been reported in the World Health Organization Europe member states. Comparing April 2020 with the same period last year, WHO said that online inquiries to violence prevention support hotlines had also increased as much as fivefold.” (BMJ

Bill Gates with a globe
INTERVIEW

The Gates Empire ‘Will Own Everything’

In this timely interview with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Vandana Shiva discusses how Bill Gates, along with Big Ag, Big Chemical, Big Food, Big Tech and Big Pharma are destroying Earth’s ecosystems and with it, our health. 

As Vandana points out: 

“So now in the art of moneymaking is Big Ag, Big Food, Big Tech, Big Everyone wanting to get bigger like a cancer cell. And the new Gates Ag One is this convergence. It’s one year-old. Last year in January, he announced it. And as he says, time is the enemy. When only stupid people think time is the enemy. Wise people know time is your friend that tests the best out of you. After all, Mr. Gates locked us all in for one year, and time has taught us what wonderful friendships and love is about. It has taught us about enoughness, and simplicity, what we can do without. They don’t realize there’s a living world out there. And I feel Mr. Gates, besides having the disease of the cancer cell, not knowing when to stop growing … Healthy cells know how to stop growing. I think he’s got a disease of power, and he has a disease of fear because … I said, why is this man so afraid of the tiniest microbe, and so afraid of the tiniest small farmer protesting on the Indian streets today?”

REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE

Organic Agroecology and Regeneration or Collapse?

As Paulo Petersen writes: 

“The growing number of ecological, health, economic and social crises situations are compounding and are based in an exceptionally complex political reality that demand a systemic and holistic perspective. Yet, governments and public policy around the world are plagued by sectoral approaches. These need to be overcome if we can respond to this crisis in a way that dismantles the vicious regressive circles that make the causes seem like the effects, and vice versa.” 

Fortunately, we at OCA and Regeneration International have a solution, as our close ally, Vandana Shiva, points out: “Regenerative agriculture provides answers to the soil crisis, the food crisis, the climate crisis and the crisis of democracy.”

CENSORSHIP

Silicon Valley Wants to Silence Us

As you’ve probably heard, Silicon Valley (including Facebook, Google, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube) has stepped up its efforts to censor everyone who dares speak up against the COVID-19 “official story” put out by the Chinese and US governments, Big Pharma, Bill Gates, the corporate-controlled mass media, and the global medical Establishment.

Several close allies of OCA, including Mercola.com, Robert Kennedy Jr., Children’s Health Defense, Highwire.com, and National Vaccine Information Center, have recently had their social media sites censored, blocked, gaslighted, and even “de-platformed.” 

We are being accused of spreading dangerous “conspiracy theories,” such as the evermore obvious lab origins and accidental release of SARS-CoV-2 and the equally obvious efficacy of healthy food and natural health remedies to strengthen our defenses against chronic disease and COVID-19. 

The Tech Giants claim we are in violation of so-called “community standards” as defined by Big Pharma, the Chinese government, Bill Gates, and other proponents of the Great Reset. 

OCA and others have been warned by Facebook that we can no longer post information, no matter how well-documented, that contradicts the “official story” on the pandemic, or else they will cut us off from communicating with our mass social media networks. 

In our case, OCA stands to lose 1.1 million followers on Facebook, and hundreds of thousands of followers on the other Silicon Valley platforms which we have built up over the years. It is now obvious that the internet monopolies need to be broken up, and that serious alternatives to Facebook, Google, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp and others must be developed. But until these new mass communication platforms are well established, we have no choice but to rely on our current communication tools, especially our email lists, more than ever.

OCA refuses to be silenced, but we need your help. Before we are de-platformed on social media, we need to increase the number of our subscribers, so that we can continue to reach a mass audience of organic and health minded consumers, activists, and concerned citizens. 

We implore each one of you to talk to everyone you know who shares a passion for healthy food, natural health, truth and free expression and encourage them to subscribe to Organic Bytes

Book by OCAs International Director Ronnie Cummins THE TRUTH ABOUT COVID-19
THE TRUTH ABOUT COVID-19

Ronnie Cummins’ and Dr. Mercola’s New Book

Since early 2020, the world has experienced a series of catastrophic events—a global pandemic caused by what appears to be an engineered coronavirus; international lockdowns and border closings causing widespread business closures, economic collapse, and massive unemployment; and an unprecedented curtailment of civil liberties and freedoms in the name of keeping people safe by locking them up in their homes. 

We are now living in a world that is increasingly ruled, not by our democratic systems and institutions, but by public health fiat, carried out by politicians who rule by instilling fear and panic.

In their new book, The Truth About COVID-19, Dr. Mercola and Cummins reveal new and emerging evidence that:

• The SARS-CoV-2 virus was, indeed, lab-engineered and emerged from a negligently managed bioweapons lab in Wuhan, China

• The global pandemic was long anticipated by global elites who have used it to facilitate and hide the largest upward transfer of wealth in human history

• PCR testing, case counts, morbidity, and vaccine safety and efficacy data have been widely manipulated and misrepresented

• Obesity, diabetes, and heart disease are known to worsen COVID-19 outcomes, but the junk food industry continues to push its agenda at the expense of public health

• Safe, simple, and inexpensive treatment and prevention for COVID-19 have been censored and suppressed to create a clear path for vaccine acceptance

• Effectiveness of the vaccines has been wildly exaggerated and major safety questions have gone unanswered

The good news in all of this is that we can take control of our health and that, together, we have the power to unite and fight back for our health, democracy, and freedom. The time is now for a global awakening. As Dr. Mercola and Cummins remind us, this is the fight of our lives.
