Special screenings of the new documentary, The Assassination & Mrs. Paine, are happening on the 59th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

In DC, we’re showing the film on Tuesday, November 22 at 7 pm at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema at 630 Rhode Island Avenue NE, Washington DC, 20002.

If you’re not in the DC area, catch the film in Dallas or watch it online.

Director Max Good will be at the DC screening with special guests Max Blumenthal (Editor, The Grayzone News) and Sue Wheaton, who appears in the film.

Sue Wheaton is the driving force behind COVIDorigins.org and the weekly Indict Fauci rallies outside the National Institutes of Health. She wrote the annotated timeline, “U.S. Bioweapon Development and COVID-19.”

In the 1980s and 90s, Sue was involved in peace and justice organizing in Nicaragua. It was there, in 1991, that she had a very strange run-in with Ruth Paine.

Sue recognized Mrs. Paine as the one who had marshaled the incriminating evidence that framed Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone assassin of President John F. Kennedy. The official story relies heavily on the legend of Mrs. Paine’s Garage.

But, Sue also knew that, on the day after the assassination, on November 23, 1963, Ruth was overheard talking to her husband Michael on an FBI-tapped phone line, admitting she knew that Oswald wasn’t responsible. Michael said, “We both know who is responsible.”

Was she on assignment for the CIA when she placed Oswald at the scene of the crime in 1963?

If so, was she working for the CIA posing as a Quaker peace activist in Nicaragua?

The Assassination & Mrs. Paine takes an objective view laying out this and many pieces of evidence, allowing the viewer to decide.

The most significant among these are the lengthy interviews filmmaker Max Good conducted with his subject. He leaves it to us to discern Ruth Paine’s credibility.

Watch the film in DC.

OCA’s organic farmer allies in Australia, the Organic and Regenerative Investment Coop have a new idea for how to channel money and resources into the hands of organic and regenerative farmers and ranchers. Organic and regenerative farmers, as we never tire of repeating, are the true stewards of the land and practitioners of animal husbandry. They are leading the organic movement to the next stage, Organic 3.0, regenerating soils and ecosystems; preserving and improving biodiversity; sequestering carbon above ground and below ground; producing healthy, nutrient-dense foods; expanding the market for organic and regenerative foods and products; and revitalizing rural communities and livelihoods.

According to ORIC:

“With recent questions over the legitimacy of the Australian carbon offset scheme, it’s never been more important that carbon emissions are offset with legitimate credits and are free of greenwashing.

Unfortunately, few offerings in the market consider the natural environmental variables faced by the landowners generating the credits, and have the data transparency and accuracy required to inspire confidence that the investment is actually achieving its drawdown goal.”

But the recently-released Eco-Credit by ORICoop is addressing many of these key issues in the current carbon offset market.

The farmer-owned credits are backed by extensive data collection and have been developed in accordance with the conditions, biodiversity and operations of each farm they’re provided by. Their transparency of data and the ability to directly purchase Eco-Credits from each farm means investors avoid the greenwashing associated with other carbon credit offerings.”

As ORICoop leader Carolyn Suggate explains:

“All farms are assessed as to their suitability for the program, based on their existing farming practices, the area of the farm and the intentions of future management.

We don’t want producers to be at risk from any carbon credit program, to overstate their carbon drawdown, or to be exposed by a natural disaster or severe weather event should the carbon levels in their soil or biodiversity decrease,” Suggate emphasized…

We at OCA, like millions of Americans, as well as organic consumers and farmers across the world, are ready for a New Morning. We yearn to wake up and move beyond our daily nightmares—endless wars, bioweapons, vaccine profiteering, genetic manipulation, technocratic dehumanization, elite domination, political polarization, and degenerate/toxic food, farming, and land use.

We firmly believe that a New Morning is within our reach. As close as the knives and forks in our hands, the soil under our feet, our computers and phones to communicate and mobilize, our wallets and purchasing power, and our local public squares and voting booths. We have the power to wage a peaceful, non-violent, but world changing revolution that is regenerative, healthy, equitable, and organic. But we must become more than spectators. We must all participate in revitalizing our culture, our politics, our food and our health. To defeat the powerful forces of greed and evil, we must join together, raise our voices, and keep our eyes on the prize: an organic and regenerative future of peace, freedom, and justice.

We need your help to move forward in a new Grassroots Rising.

Longtime Minnesota organic farmer and national leader Jim Riddle writes:

“The fundamental concepts of organic farming have always been, ‘Feed the Soil, not the Plant,’ and ‘Healthy Soil leads to Healthy Crops, Healthy Animals, Healthy People, and a Healthy Planet.’ Now, those concepts have been turned on their head, with a recent Appeals Court ruling that you don’t even need soil for growing terrestrial crops, in order to be certified organic in the United States.

Will the 9th Circuit Court’s September 2022 ruling, which stated, ‘no part of the statute [the 1990 Organic Foods Production Act] clearly precludes organic certification of crops grown hydroponically,’ mean the end of organic farming, as we know it? Maybe. Maybe not.

If the ruling is allowed to stand, it will mean that crops grown using hydroponic methods can officially be certified as ‘organic,’ as has been done by a handful of renegade certification agencies for a number of years. Consumers will continue to be deceived when they buy organic products, thinking that such products were grown in healthy soil, using methods that ‘foster cycling of resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity,’ as required by the legal definition of ‘organic production.’

It will also mean that authentic organic farmers, who produce crops in healthy soil, who protect and enhance the biological diversity of their operations, and who use green manures, cover crops, crop rotations and compost to recycle nutrients, will continue to compete with hydroponic operations that use inputs ‘approved for organic use,’ but do not comply with the soil building, crop rotation, and ecological requirements of the Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA) and the National Organic Regulations (7 CFR 205).

The Court’s ruling directly contradicts a stated purpose of the OFPA, which is ‘to assure consumers that organically produced products meet a consistent standard.’ Consumers who purchase ‘organic’ blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and leafy greens will have no way of knowing if those products were produced by operations that comply with all requirements of OFPA and 7 CFR 205, or if those products were produced by hydroponic operations that only use ‘approved inputs’ in their nutrient solutions.”

Dr. Meryl Nass, bioweapons, COVID, and health expert warns us that the tactic of the “limited hangout,” whereby prominent Establishment or government officials finally admit the (partial) truth about issues such as the obvious lab engineering and release (whether accidental or deliberate) of SARS-CoV-2, the ineffectiveness and dangers of genetically engineered, rushed-to-market drugs and “vaccines,” and the need for a negotiated peace in Ukraine, can be a trap to lull us into submission, accepting the continuation of “business and politics as usual.”

Nass writes:

“I agree with my friends who are swooning after seeing this snake oil salesman (Jeffrey Sachs) on Democracy Now! It is extraordinary to hear someone telling the truth about US imperialism to millions of viewers.

The guy is [a] smoothie. He speaks slowly and clearly with simple words and a most avuncular manner. He plays to the Democracy Now! crowd, with one softball after another lobbed at US foreign policy, militarism, neocons, nuclear war. Don’t forget that Amy Goodman [host of Democracy Now] also interviewed [Wuhan lab funder] Peter Daszak in early 2020, inviting him to spin tales about ‘naturally occurring’ pandemics for her audience. Who picks her guests? …

So I should not need to tell you he [Jeffrey Sachs] is a limited hangout. He is a proven chameleon. He is selling you something. But not quite yet. He was handpicked for this gig, just like Tedros [head of World Health Organization] was handpicked. Right now, he is establishing the new brand. He is rebranding as the economics superstar who has suddenly stepped forward to tell the gory truth. He even said the US likely bombed Nordstream, for crying out loud.

He’s gonna be the guy who speaks truth to power, and gets shut down by MSM [Mainstream Media] hosts when he steps over the line. The guy who told the truth about Fauci and Daszak, and the US contribution to developing COVID, even though it took him an awfully long time to see the light.

Why does the world’s most famous economist, full Harvard professor at age 28, talk to you in baby talk? His ‘aw shucks’ manner is an act. He doesn’t talk that way at Harvard. Beware of the forked tongue. Watch what he is getting ready to sell you. It’s the UN and WHO, the meaningless One Health (the Daszak scam that Sachs still promotes) to manage pandemics. One World Government…”

The International Monetary Fund, the World Economic Forum, Establishment politicians, and the private sector are working overtime planning our future, including how they can take control over our money, purchasing decisions, savings, and behavior, using a Chinese-style Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).

Under CBDC we won’t need cash any longer, it will be oh so convenient and energy efficient. In addition, we’ll be constantly monitored so that we are protected from “disinformation,” and encouraged, or actually forced, to behave in a manner that benefits the environment, the economy, and the common interest, or so say the technocrats and powerful CBDC proponents such as Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab.

Our Social Credit scores, just as in Communist China, will enable us to be paid or rewarded by the ruling elite, for our behavior; to be shielded from subversive information and “incorrect” thoughts and thereby become exemplary citizens in The Great Reset. Visit the wrong web site, donate to the wrong cause and your bank account will be frozen. “You will own nothing and you will be happy.”

Mike Whitney reports for Global Research:

“The Biden administration’s Nuclear Posture Review is, at heart, a terrifying document. It not only keeps the world on a path of increasing nuclear risk, in many ways it increases that risk. Citing rising threats from Russia and China, it argues that the only viable U.S. response is to rebuild the entire U.S. nuclear arsenal, maintain an array of dangerous Cold War-era nuclear policies, and threaten the first use of nuclear weapons in a variety of scenarios.”

Whitney cites Stephen Young, from the Union of Concerned Scientists:

‘Maybe you’re one of the millions of people who think the US would never use its nuclear weapons unless the threat of a nuclear attack was imminent.

Well, you’d be wrong, because according to the recently-released Nuclear Posture Review, the bar for using nukes has been significantly lowered. The new standard reads like this: (nukes can be used) “in extreme circumstances to defend the vital interests of the United States or its allies and partners.’

Defend the vital interests of the United States or its allies??

That’s a pretty broad net, isn’t it? That could include anything from a serious threat to national security to an ordinary economic competitor. And that loosy-goosy definition appears to be just what the authors were looking for. The hardliners wanted to fundamentally change US nuclear doctrine so the conditions under which nukes could be used was greatly expanded. The obvious objective of this dramatic policy-shift is to eliminate any obstacle to the free and unfettered use of nuclear weapons. Which is precisely what the neocons have always wanted; a green light to Armageddon. Now they got what they wanted.’”

Briahna Joy Gray: The Democratic Party Warmongers—Fund Ukraine or Else

The Atlantic magazine, a faithful propaganda outlet for the Establishment narrative on the COVID-19 pandemic the last two and a half years, recently published a widely-read article, “Let’s Declare a Pandemic Amnesty,” admitting that the pandemic powers that be (government, indentured scientists, Big Pharma, and the mass media) got it all wrong on the origins, nature, virulence, treatment, mandates, and prevention of COVID-19, and that it’s time to forget, forgive, and move on.

The author of the article, Brown University professor Emily Oster, as Charles Eisenstein points out, “proposes that we forgive and forget the crimes against the public perpetrated during the COVID years. Her main argument seems to be that they weren’t really crimes, they were just the result of ignorance. We were ‘in the dark,’ she says. ‘We didn’t know’ yet that social distancing was ineffective, that cloth masks were useless, that school closures were unnecessary and harmful, that vaccines didn’t prevent transmission, and so forth. Honest mistakes should not be punished.”

Eisenstein goes on:

“Leaving aside for a moment that fact that quite a few of us did know, and were ridiculed and censored by people like Emily Oster and publications like The Atlantic, we can agree that honest mistakes should not be punished. We might even question whether punishment is necessarily the right response to legal or moral transgression. There is something much more important than seeing the guilty punished: It is to make sure the crimes don’t happen again.

With that goal in mind, the first question is ‘Why?’ Why did the majority of Americans, and an even larger majority of educated people like Professor Oster, not know the truth? The main reason ‘we’ were in the dark is that we were purposely kept there, through coordinated propaganda and censorship. (A second, more important ‘why’ question is ‘Why were we so susceptible to that propaganda to begin with?’)

Herein lies the problem with the kind of amnesty Professor Oster advocates. It allows the architects and cheerleaders of COVID madness to stay in power, and the processes by which they commandeered science, government, and media to remain shrouded in darkness. It allows the crimes to happen again…”
