Fred Schwab was born in Frankfurt. In 1935, he managed to leave Germany. His wife, Marianne Rothschild, came from the town of Bad Homburg. After the 1938 Pogroms, she fled to the USA via Britain. The couple visited their former country as guests of the City of Frankfurt, to which they kept close emotional ties. Both returned often, met former classmates and spoke at schools.
Klaus Schwab’s family tree, on his mother’s side
Their daughter Madeleine was invited by the City of Bad Homburg in 2013. She attended the opening ceremony for a deportation memorial in her mother’s home town. From here, her grandparents had been deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1942.
Fred Schwab: “We need to look ahead”
Fred Schwab was born as Friedrich Ernst Schwab into a Jewish family with a centuries-old history in Germany and Frankfurt.
Born into this metropolitan city in 1918, he grew up at Rheinstraße 7 in Frankfurt’s Westend district and visited the nearby Goethe-Gymnasium. Fred’s father owned a large business at Moselstraße 4 (Gebr. Feisenberger. Kurzwaren, Spielwaren, Strumpfwaren).
The family was firmly established among Frankfurt’s society. His parents married at the traditional Frankfurter Hof hotel, together with Christian and Jewish friends. The family was not very religious and attended the liberal Westend Synagogue. They celebrated “Weihnukka”: Hanukkah as well as Christmas (“Weihnachten” in German).
When Hitler was installed, the family did not even remotely consider leaving the country. At school, Fred hardly noticed antisemitism and the Nazis at first. However, in 1935, he left school with a ten-year General Certificate of Secondary Education (Mittlere Reife) to start a commercial apprenticeship.

The family thought more and more about emigrating. First they sent Fred, the youngest member, to the USA, because he had no prospects in Germany. His father and the older brother Hans (Hank) were arrested during the 1938 Pogroms and deported to Buchenwald.
After about four weeks, both were allowed to leave the camp, because Fred’s mother managed to get emigration papers, with the help of an uncle in the USA. In Buchenwald, the father lost 30 kg (66 lbs.) and any hope of staying in his native country.
In 1942, Fred was drafted into the US Army and sent to Germany, because he knew the language. Back then, he already worked for better communication. Not all Germans were Nazis to him, and not all party members were Anti-Semites. This attitude allowed him to pick up old friendships and make new ones in his later career in the chemicals industry. His contacts often led him back to Germany.
In 1995, the former Frankfurt resident got the Federal Cross of Merit (Bundesverdienstkreuz) in 1995 for his lifetime achievements and his reconciliation efforts.
“We need to look ahead,” was his motto in life. Still, he cared about remembering the crimes of the Nazi regime and the fates of Jewish families.
In 1992, 55 years after fleeing Germany, Fred Schwab came back to Frankfurt as an official guest. The Project Jewish Life in Frankfurt arranged for him to speak at his former school, Goethe-Gymnasium. His wife Marianne and daughter Madeleine accompanied him.
Marianne Rothschild and Friedrich Schwab had known each other in Frankfurt and later reunited and married in the USA.
Marianne Schwab, née Rothschild: “I always feel a little homesick for Bad Homburg”
Marianne was born in Frankfurt in 1919. She grew up in the town of Bad Homburg, where her father, Louis Rothschild, managed a bank. The family lived right downtown at Louisenstraße.

Unlike Fred Schwab’s family, the Rothschilds, were very religious and active members of the Jewish congregation. Marianne first attended the girl’s high school (Lyzeum) in Bad Homburg (today Humboldtschule). Later, she began an apprenticeship as a kinesitherapist.
During the 1938 Pogroms, on 10 November 1938, she witnessed the destruction of her parents’ apartment. After this sobering experience, the parents decided to send their children abroad first and follow later. On 17 March 1939, Marianne left Germany together with her grandmother. Her brother, Eduard, called Edu, was sent to the Netherlands. From here, he tried desperately, but without success, to also reach the USA. Marianne kept frequent mail contact with her parents. Her parents were forced to leave the house at Louisenstraße in Bad Homburg. First they moved in with relatives, later they had to move to a ghetto house at Gorch-Fock-Straße.
Red Cross letter from Melanie and Louis Rothschild to their daughter on the day before their deportation on 28 August 1942, private
Marianne was unable to get her parents out of Germany. On 28.8.1942, they were deported to Theresienstadt. One day before being carried off, Louis Rothschild sent a message to his daughter through the Red Cross.
It was limited to 25 words: “This farewell brings your parents’ ardent greetings. Tomorrow, we are brought to Theresienstadt! Much love from Daddy and Mommy. 27 August 1942 Father“
After the deportation, Marianne Schwab received two more postcards from her parents. Letters that reached the USA through an acquaintance in Portugal brought her some news of her parents’ situation in the concentration camp.
“My mother let me know indirectly that she finally had a good figure. She used to be plump. So we weren’t stupid, we knew well what was going on.”
Marianne Schwab is her family’s only survivor. Her father, Louis Rothschild, died on 19 September 1942. Her mother, Melanie, died on 15 August 1944. Her brother Eduard was arrested in the Netherlands and died in Mauthausen. The official German Memorial Book (Gedenkbuch) states his death date as 12 November 1942. He was declared dead, because the exact circumstances are not known.
Marianne and Fred Schwab at the memorial for Bad Homburg’s deported Jews, 1990s, private
Marianne Schwab visited the town she grew up in several times throughout the 1990s. She met classmates and neighbors, spoke to students at her former school and at Kaiserin-Friedrich-Gymnasium, the school her brother Eduard had attended. One of these visits was filmed. Marianne Schwab’s account of the 1938 Pogroms is particularly impressive.
Despite the sad memories, Marianne Schwab feels closely connected to her former home town:
“I always feel a little homesick for Bad Homburg,” she describes her feelings.
Marianne and Fred Schwab at the memorial for Bad Homburg’s deported Jews, 1990s, private
On one of her trips, she visited the Holocaust memorial built in 1988.
“Thinking of it is sad and painful. Where the synagogue used to stand, a memorial plaque shows the name of my brother. We were there, and I see my father’s name, Louis Rothschild, Melanie Rothschild, née Emmerich, and Edu Rothschild. I had to touch the plaque, the names of my father and my mother. I had to touch their names and make a symbolic connection. After all, I have no graveyard to go to.”
Madeleine Gerrish, née Schwab: “Hate poisons the soul”
Marianne Schwab passed on her love for Bad Homburg to her children. In November 2013, the City of Bad Homburg invited Marianne Schwab’s daughter, Madeleine Gerrish, to the unveiling of a plaque at Bad Homburg’s central station commemorating the deportations. The invitation was initiated by the Hochtaunus Society for Christian-Jewish Cooperation (Gesellschaft für Christlich-Jüdische Zusammenarbeit Hochtaunus). Two major transports departed from Bad Homburg: one on 10 June 1942, the other on 28 August 1942. The second transport deported the parents of Marianne Schwab – the grandparents of Madeleine Gerrish – to the Theresienstadt concentration camp.
This visit to Germany was very important, yet ambivalent, for Madeleine Gerrish. She reported feeling sad when thinking of her mother happily running through Bad Homburg’s streets as a child. Her son Michael was able to accompany her for some days. They sought for traces at her grandparents’ former house, at the house of her father’s family in Frankfurt, at the commemorative wall around the old cemetery at Börneplatz in Frankfurt and at Kurpark in Bad Homburg, where the synagogue stood until being burned down on 10 November 1938. Madeleine met friends of her mother and visited the schools her mother and her uncle Eduard had attended. At both schools she spoke to the students about the fates of her ancestors, her parents’ escape from Germany, their new life in the USA, and how she grew up with these experiences.
The students were impressed by Madeleine Gerrish’s openness, and especially by Marianne and Fred Schwab teaching their children not to foster hate, despite all the harm done to their families.
One of many questions the students asked was: “How was your mother able to develop such an attitude?”
“I found most interesting that Madeleine said you shouldn’t spend your life full of hate. Her mother did not hate all Germans and even returned here. I find that remarkable. I expected her to bear a certain animosity towards the Germans.”
Another student remarked that this positive attitude did not mean to forget, but to deal with the past:
“I was surprised that Mrs. Gerrish spoke so honest and upright of her thoughts and experiences and of her parents’ tales. Also at her approach to taking the harder route and dealing with what happened, instead of suppressing it.”
These school talks showed how important it is for later generations to exchange about the stories of their Jewish former neighbors and how the Holocaust is treated in Germany and other countries.”

I am a one man operation that has been trying to filter through all the “New Aged” worldwide propaganda preached to the truth community / freedom fighters through fake “truth gurus/mentors”, so that i can bring you the “actual” truth. I have been doing this since 2016 and went mainstream in 2018. These “wolves in sheeps clothing” are “planted” within the community as “Gatekeepers” to, sow division, utilize delay/deflect tactics misinform and mislead the “free-thinkers” or anyone that opposes the “Occultist Hidden Hand” or “Shadow Government” , straight to the slaughterhouse.
I would like to say thanks to all the fellow “watchmen”, “Shill Hunters” and “Genuine truthers/researchers/free thinkers” working tirelessly around the clock out there, putting yourself in the trenches, laying it all on the line by sounding the alarm over the last several years, sacrifices have been made, reputations tarnished, online friends and family members have been lost and lots more put on the back burner.

“Operation Trust” was a Bolshevik counterintelligence operation run from 1921 to 1926 aimed at neutralizing opposition by creating the false impression that a powerful group of military leaders had organized to stop the communists’ takeover.
If you are a QAnon supporter, isn’t it long past time to reflect on the message? The latest is more warmongering that could have easily been written up by the Mossad and the neocons. WikiLeaks pointed out the obvious completion of this psyops. The similarities with the Q-Anon “Trust The Plan™” psy-op are remarkable.
One of the more disturbing aspects of the “Qanon” online Trump base pacification hoax is that while it claims to be fighting the “deep state” (permanent security complex) it promotes the rendition of Edward @Snowden and CIA regime change in Iran. pic.twitter.com/WG4jfmvEeG— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) December 13, 2018
QAnon is a crime syndicate operation. It is a psyop geared toward influencing and corrupting the patriotic conspiracy theory community into diehard supporters of POTUS Red Queen Trump. QAnon cultists are constantly being led by a carrot on a stick with promises of something big always just around the corner. But that never happens.
Yes, remember when Huma and Podesta were supposed to be arrested? Or when Theresa May was supposed to step down. Then there is the long awaited “sealed indictment heat map”. Their version of Q rarely mentions Israel or Palestine.
Operation Trust was a counterintelligence operation of the State Political Directorate (GPU) of the Soviet Union. The operation, which was set up by GPU’s predecessor Cheka, ran from 1921 to 1926, set up a fake anti-Bolshevik resistance organization, “Monarchist Union of Central Russia”, MUCR, in order to help the OGPU identify real monarchists and anti-Bolsheviks. The created front company was called the Moscow Municipal Credit Association.
[…] The one Western historian who had limited access to the Trust files, John Costello, reported that they comprised thirty-seven volumes and were such a bewildering welter of double-agents, changed code names, and interlocking deception operations with “the complexity of a symphonic score”, that Russian historians from the Intelligence Service had difficulty separating fact from fantasy.
That sounds like the Confucius-style nonsense put out by Q-Anon.
Is General Flynn our General Brusliv?
Another objective of QAnon beyond the manipulation, is to make patriotic conspiracy theorists look crazy and unbalanced.
Psychopaths engage in “projection.” That’s what the psychological operation of the Red Queen is all about. Here is what he was saying about Obama and Iran in 2013. Notice the inversion as well as back-magik strangeness. This has been preplanned.
“I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face!” 16 Sep 2013
“Remember what I previously said — Obama will someday attack Iran in order to show how tough he is” 25 Sep 2013
“Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!” 10 Nov 2013
QAnon is primarily directed at young Trump MAGA supporters to give them the impression and the hope that POTUS is playing supra-natural 4-D chess and is on the job. Naturally, such a contrived message is going to have greater emotional appeal than OP News’s theory: a Trojan-horse takedown operation of the U.S. similar to that of the Soviet Union. Our painful message will get less clicks for sure.
Some who are a bit skeptical of QAnon claim “it gets people thinking.” But about what exactly? It’s framed in partisan Bagelian dialectic. Zionists and Jewish ops are mentioned only in passing. Some — but not all — neocons are called out. There’s attention given to false flags – but none to staged deceptions. That is a tell. The “Muslims” as major conspirators is a theme that is pushed.
And, on a side note, QAnon is not to be confused with the Anonymous or original Q movements, which have both denounced it as an op.
Not Everything Is a Lie
It is pretty obvious that QAnon is run by artificial intelligence and hired disinformation agents, along with various online trolls. I just don’t think an individual or staff of individuals could sniff out the zeitgeist well enough. If so, they have swept through the collective consciousness of the entire conspiratorial-leaning America-First element and are spitting out the formula that works most effectively at controlling the message and dialogue.
However, I also believe and know that not everything being spun around is disinformation. There is undoubtedly a mass pedophilia problem in this nation and across the world. It is deeply rooted in to our societies, religions, and media. There are many of those with wealth and power who take part in very sick acts for pleasure, child rape being one of the most severe.
Whistleblowers like Isaac Kappy whom “forcibly threw themselves” off of bridges after years of exposing Hollywood child predators and big time investors like Jeffrey Epstein and ranting on social media that if they were to be found dead, to absolutely investigate them are not to be confused with mass disinformation agents. Of course that is exactly what a psyop such as QAnon would like you to believe, to cease any more investigation from the public and therefore, ceasing investigation from the media, alongside law enforcement.
This kind of psyop no only destroys the trust amongst political rivals, but it destroys the credibility of those who do seek the truth or try to expose it. This is truly Brave New World brainwashing and manipulation of th

Extinction Rebellion Are A Huge Nazi Propaganda Machine, The Elites Silent Weapon For This Silent War For World Dominance Under The Guise Of “Climate Change” which is merely nothing more than a cult. #ClimateCult
“Those encountering Extinction Rebellion should be under no illusions about just how destabilising and extremist their agenda is. Not only is it unclear how their three formal demands could realistically be satisfied, but also it appears unlikely that their actions would end even if government committed to trying to implement them. The words of Extinction Rebellion’s founders and its posts on social media make clear that the objective is system change. This means bringing down our existing democratic system—which several of the campaign’s leading figures hold in contempt—and causing rapid economic disaster for the country. The proponents of this course of action have no serious explanations for how the country would function if their demands were implemented.”
Beware Extinction Rebellion Is Another Controlled Opposition Psyops
The new group, Extinction Rebellion, is another incarnation of Climate Camp and Reclaim the Power. They make money by selling “activist courses” to innocent people. They are astroturfers – fake grass roots and their style comes from the Tavistock Institute or Common Purpose leadership training. (google them if you do not know what they are)
These are the controllers who steer real activists into illegal activities so that they get arrested, a police record and never get a decent job again.
I am serious.
AVOID THEM.
There is no such thing as workshops on civil disobedience. That is conning people out of good money! I asked a promoter of Extinction Rebellion why they needed training. She told me that it is so that everyone knows what to do and can act safely.
Under the Reclaim the Power branding these people have been very disruptive to the anti fracking movement for 5 years.
It started at Balcombe Protection Camp when they created a distraction camp about a mile away from the main camp at the gates of Cuadrilla’s drill site. At first we were very welcoming to them but things went a bit sour when they demanded food supplies from us, which we gave willingly. Then they suddenly and without warning invaded our camp in such numbers that we were overwhelmed and even prevented from going about out normal routine.
This screenshot from the video shows me waiting in my car to get back into camp. I was towing the water bowser on a trailer and had refilled it. The crowd had no access to water until I was permitted to get back to the kitchen which was close to the gates at the other side of the huge crowd which the massive police presence had cordoned off.
Curious, later that day, I drove down to the Reclaim the Power satellite camp to visit and witnessed their kitchen with signs up showing CHARGES FOR FOOD. That was pretty galling considering that the supplies we gave them were all donations from good-hearted local people. Here at the satellite camp they were being used to create meals that were then making a profit. I was pretty offended but did not engage anyone there in conversation.
I wandered on and found workshops underway on activism and legal observing.
Further afield there was a training event under the title of “direct action”.
I noticed that almost all the attendees at this camp were young university students, taking the whole thing very seriously. There was an unusually tense atmosphere.
Suddenly I was approached by two men who identified themselves as “the tranquillity team”.
They insisted that I was not welcome and escorted me rapidly to my car and out of the gate.
They did not say why.
I had not spoken to a soul there.
On my way out I observed a known police undercover, George Brown (probably a fake name) smirking to himself from the entrance of their information tent. This man had tried to form a relationship with me on several occasions at previous activist events. I had rebuffed him politely but he began a character assassination smear campaign against me which persists to this day. He is well known among anti-frackers for bullying people, especially women until they leave our camps in tears. His efforts to discourage me failed miserably and made me more determined if anything.
Sam Williams also visited that pop-up camp together with Commonly Known as Dom (a famous London activist).
They had a very similar reception, which he filmed:
The events at the Reclaim the Power temporary campsite concerned me greatly.
I have been an activist all my adult life and I had never before seen “courses” being set up and run like that.
My spidey sense was thoroughly triggered.
I realised that this group was set up to rob real activism of personnel and funds.
They have been the bane of our collective existence ever since because people fall for it, part with their personal data and cash believing that they are taking part in something “green” and “good” for the planet.
Reclaim the Power went on to attend and cause massive police coverage at every anti fracking camp ever since.
They advertised their attendance with big splashes, in advance, on Facebook and Twitter.
The police and courts then used those posts as evidence that the ENTIRE anti-fracking movement intends to commit acts of domestic terrorism. This has resulted in a number of successful exclusion injunctions being brought by oil and gas companies threatening violators with imprisonment and/or confiscation of personal wealth or property to offset their court costs. These injunctions would require the drilling companies to conduct prosecutions and so far, they have not deterred any actions at the gates by anti-fracking activists.
The only way to “train” for activism is to get out to a camp or event of your choosing and just DO IT.
Remain completely autonomous in your actions and NEVER let anyone tell you what to believe or do.
Trust your gut feelings at all times.
Never give your real name or address, email or phone number to anyone until you are completely sure about them.
Real activism avoids breaking the law or at least, avoids being caught doing so.
Avoid telling anyone of your plans.
Civil disobedience or rebellion is unashamed and indefensible sabotage by large numbers of people.
Do not attend such events in public places where facial recognition or surveillance on a huge scale operates.
It should be noted, at this point, that the first public meeting of Extinction Rebellion took place in Parliament Square, London on Oct 31st 2018.
Surely everyone knows that is the most heavily policed part of London?
They have armed police there and the security is, of course, top of the range.
George Monbiot, columnist at the Guardian, was one of the speakers at the Declaration of Extinction Rebellion event.
That alone should send a red flag flying but no, he was cheered along by the adoring crowd who seemed oblivious of his brazen adherence to the United Nations Agendas 21 & 2030 in everything he writes.
Who would have the funds to organise droves of people, divided into regions, with printed multi-coloured flags, websites, meetings and workshops set up and organised in such a short space of time?
The answer is fairly obvious!
It was not the usual NGOs like Greenpeace or Friends of the Earth.
It was probably large wealthy NGOs such as Soros’ Open Society and the strange British “charity”, Common Purpose.
They train potential leaders, whose main objective is to lead the opposition into supporting the long term objectives of the United Nations Agendas 21 and 2030. which you can read about here:
Politics is replete with “green” thinking individuals, across the political spectrum and at all levels from local to national.
They are actively working to promote the UN agendas at all levels of governance in the entire world.
The Green Party is particularly noticeable for this.
Now, do not get me wrong. I know that the Green Party has many members who are genuine, good people desperate to do something positive for the environment but, unfortunately, they do not seem to have realised that the entire Green movement, worldwide is controlled and infiltrated.
The Green Party also wholeheartedly believe all the statements made by UN International Panel on Climate Change, even though the models and data have been proven to be falsified or actually faked repeatedly .
They ignore and deny the existence of geo-engineering.
Even though the history of it has been documented thoroughly by researchers such as Jim Lee of ClimateViewer.com. His website Weather Modification History provides irrefutable evidence from old newspaper cuttings and studies that date back to the 19th century. It is fascinating.
Many NGOs and politicians deny that vital information about the climate has been omitted from the peer reviewed studies and they repeat the mantra that 97% of climate scientists are in agreement with their findings.
That is not possible.
No science is settled – ever.
In fact, to say that “the science is settled” would be the most unscientific statement one could make.
Journalist and writer Donna Laframboise was very suspicious of the political entity, IPCC so she investigated them and their claims. Here is a very revealing interview with her in which she lays out her findings very clearly.

I thought I would return to the Senatus Consultum website that Kim Goguen mentioned a few months ago. I included a link to that site in a previous post of mine called, The Fox, The Savior and the Global Chessboard. Essentially this Senatus Consultum website is run by the Order of the Black Sun side of the Deep State. I’m guessing one purpose is to glorify their members for the status they have achieved so they can be envied. After all, you must be ‘worthy’ of such an invite to join them, having earned it through mastering the skills of lying, acting, and a slew of perversions I would rather not think about. Marry that with their delusional beliefs they are special and therefore chosen (because they are so special), in the eyes of at least one of their fake gods, and you get a nice tidy list of the distinguished Satan lovers.
Mission senatusconsultum.eu “…‘an invite’ only society, characterized as a House of Leaders, Intellectuals, Spiritualists and Experts in their sectors. We cross-fertilize professionalism and in-depth knowledge areas to realize added value and to anchor and achieve desired results.“
New Society Members
What I found interesting right off the bat was that they have updated their site and the Society Members page seemed to have quite a few additions. While I cannot remember all the players the last time I looked (because a lot of names were just not familiar to me in the first place), there were definitely many new ones and some jumped out because I recognized the names. A few, who I think have been added recently are Kim Jung-Ung, Narendra Modi, Sheikh Hasina Wazed, and Queen Elizabeth. I would have thought the Lizard Queen was on the Dragon Family-Rothschild side, but so many play both sides it’s hard to know where their allegiances lie. She probably can’t figure out which side is likely to win and wants to cover all her bases. See my post, A Tale of 2 Covens: Losers in the Fight for World Domination (Kim Goguen – Part 5) for more information on Black Sun versus Dragon Families. Anyway, some new US members are, Judy Carline Woodruff (PBS News Hour), Steve Bannon, Chuck Grassley and Kellyanne Conway. And just for the record, it was getting really difficult not to see the theatre going on between Kellyanne and her husband, at least is was for me. Finally, I can’t forget Ra, King of the World, or rather wannabe King of the World, Richard Wiss.
The subtractions from the site were even more interesting, but not surprising. So who is missing? Well former President Donald J. Trump and President Xi Jinping of China. Well, well, well, how interesting. I wish it could be because they saw the light, flipped and decided to be on the side of humanity. That would certainly be grounds for removal from the Order of the Black Sun. But that justification is very unlikely. Having listened to the Life Force calls over the last couple of months, it aligns with what Kim was saying which was they would have to undergo a “shaming” by their superiors and peers for failing in their missions. They are no longer worthy of being included in this elite Society I suppose. I guess it also incentivizes the other psychopaths, I mean Society members, to step of their game. I mean, they wouldn’t want to undergo similar unsavory consequences should they not live up to expectations.
I imagine this can’t be a comfortable position to be in for our former President DJT. After all, he is very known for saying he never ever gives up. And he values loyalty above everything. So it looks like he wants back in, at least based on his support of the vaccine and recently using his daughter as a prop. Can youimagine what it’s like to be them? You can never be assured of anything when lying is the foundation of everything.
Senatus Consultum – Society Members (As of April 28, 2021)
I thought I would outline the entire list names which can be found under the Society Members tab, in case I want to check back again in the future and compare who was added and who was removed. I can’t help but notice the names are in red ink against a black background, probably signifying blood feeds the darkness. The names are all in capital letters too which in a contract means you’re dead. At least it does for the livestock. Yep, I would agree with that, they are spiritually dead. And some are most definitely physically dead too since Vladimir Putin and Mike Pence are still on the list.
The order of the names follows the slide show on their website and I don’t know if the order has any significance. I highlighted some of the additions I could remember, as well as General John E. Hyten. I’m pretty sure he isn’t new, just of more interest as you’ll find out below.

The Beacon .ie
The Beacon.ie is a dodgy AF site which stinks of Soros, Hasbara and Mossad.
It seems to be a double act consisting of ANNIE DE BHAL (real name Antje Scheuer, a Kraut) and her Brit fella BRYAN WALL.
The former reeks of paid Israeli asset. So does their ally ANETA SAFIAK (though they have fallen out), whose husband Jakub is a wealthy banker.
The NGOs placed her in Longford after she was run out of Poland for being a globalist worm she promptly proclaimed herself ‘queen of Longford’ and started hounding the natives hangs out with all the filthiest Zio scum in the land, Tom Doorley & the like. https://the-beacon.ie/
HE RICHARD WISS – Currently playing the role of ‘Ra’ – Or rather someone who thinks he’s King of the World
Richard Wiss, (Ra & King of the World Wannabe)
I believe Richard Wiss is the guy Kim mentioned on the Life Force 4-18-2021 call, who believes he’s in charge of the Quantum Mapping System and should have her job. In his deep delusional state of mind he believes he is Ra incarnate and therefore King of the World. He had many others believing it as well based on the many phone calls she was receiving on a diplomatic line which was never used for many years apparently. Several who called were not expecting her to answer. Rather they were expecting Richard Wiss. Fed Head, Jerome Hayden Powell was one who was particularly enraged. Evidently many in these ranks never believed Kim was the Trustee/Guardian to begin with, and even if they did, they were convinced she was going to be replaced. But now many in the Military are finding out that she is still in place and this Ra guy is lying. I suppose they will come up with yet another excuse as to why he still is not in charge. I bet the Summer Solstice will be the game changer. Yeah, that’s the ticket! Remember this guy, Jon Lovitz on SNL playing the pathological liar? I can’t imagine why I thought of him. https://www.youtube.com/embed/hV85E2S-Idw?feature=oembed Yeah – That’s the Ticket!
Another Black Sun Agent – “The Viking”
So Richard Wiss is ‘The Viking’s’ boss evidently. Once Black Sun, always Black Sun and George, aka “The Viking” was recalled. I can’t say I was surprised to hear that The Viking was an infiltrator all along with the mission to bring down Life Force and Kim. I assume anyone who had a position in the cabal circles, still has a position. They will never help humanity in the way we’d like. The Assemblies that the Life Force team is helping to organize and support will continue to be infiltrated by these degenerates until they are finally starved out and no longer exist in our timeline.
So in the meantime, it’s through the dark that we find the light and who better to expose more muck than those embroiled in it. Unfortunately Kim has to wade through them. Although, I would bet the farm she is not too surprised at the Viking’s real mission either, (wink-wink). Unfortunately it has to be this way so the weed killer can permeate to the deepest roots that continue to enmesh the numerous layers of mind controlled slaves who still believe they are the slave masters.
No, the Viking’s deception truly didn’t surprise me at all. I’ve been paying particular attention to him due to his mysterious past and very high security level. What I am surprised at though was how blatantly honest he finally was. I mean there is no ambiguity as to what his real motivation was for the Black Sun if he’s telling Kim to her face she needs to commit suicide. Nobody at the highest ranks will ever flip. They are way too enslaved, mind-controlled and invested in this genocidal agenda. For more information on The Viking, see my post, The Viking’s Message to the Remnants.

I am a one man operation that has been trying to filter through all the “New Aged” worldwide propaganda preached to the truth community / freedom fighters through fake “truth gurus/mentors”, so that i can bring you the “actual” truth. I have been doing this since 2016 and went mainstream in 2018. These “wolves in sheeps clothing” are “planted” within the community as “Gatekeepers” to, sow division, utilize delay/deflect tactics misinform and mislead the “free-thinkers” or anyone that opposes the “Occultist Hidden Hand” or “Shadow Government” , straight to the slaughterhouse.
I would like to say thanks to all the fellow “watchmen”, “Shill Hunters” and “Genuine truthers/researchers/free thinkers” working tirelessly around the clock out there, putting yourself in the trenches, laying it all on the line by sounding the alarm over the last several years, sacrifices have been made, reputations tarnished, online friends and family members have been lost and lots more put on the back burner.

Boris Johnson called climate protesters ‘uncooperative Krusties’. But his deranged dad ‘Stanley Johnson’ supports government controlled opposition and fake protesters funded by George Soros “Extinction Rebellion”
Boris’s father, Stanley Johnson has been writing books promoting depopulation for almost fifty years now; starting with ‘Life without Birth: A Journey Through the Third World in Search of the Population Explosion’ published all the way back in 1970.
He’s also a former employee of the World Bank and the European Commission; two of the most prominent promoters of ‘Carbon’ taxation; which would increase the cost of both food and fuel, exponentially. Resolving, they hope, the ‘population issue’.
Stanley was Head of Prevention of Pollution Division at the European Commission (1973 to 1979) and Conservative MEP for Wight and Hampshire East (1979 to 1984).
His first wife (Boris’ mother) Charlotte Johnson Wahl “made her name as a professional portrait painter” for Crispin Tickell; the UN spook who first convinced Margret Thatcher to introduce the concept of CO2 driven ‘climate change’ into mainstream British politics in a speech she gave to the Royal Society, in September 1988.
Sir Crispin is a direct descendent of Thomas Henry Huxley (known as Darwin’s bulldog), one of the first promoters of Darwinism and Eugenics (leading to Government sterilisation policies all over the world).
This is what ‘climate change’ and the ‘environmental’ policies of the ruling class are really about: depopulation, to maintain control over land and resources.
Stanley Johnson’s works include…
The Green Revolution (1972)
The Population Problem (1973-4)
The Politics of Environment (1973)
Pollution Control Policy of the EEC (1978)
The Earth Summit: The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development UNCED [pronounced: ‘un-said’] (1993)
World Population – Turning the Tide (1994)
The Environmental Policy of the European Communities (1995)
The Politics of Population: Cairo (1994)
World Population and the United Nations (1987)
World Population Turning the Tide (1994)
UNEP The First 40 Years; A Narrative by Stanley Johnson (United Nations Environment Programme) (2012).
Boris Johnson called climate protesters ‘uncooperative crusties’. But his dad supports Extinction Rebellion
It’s been a turbulent few weeks for the Johnson family.
Just weeks after Boris Johnson became prime minister, his brother Jo Johnson resigned from government and as an MP, citing a difficulty to reconcile personal matters with the “national interest”.
Then, Johnson’s sister Rachel appeared to slap down his Brexit plans, suggesting he was being pressurised by people who stand to make money from a no-deal Brexit. She also branded comments he made in the House of Commons “reprehensible”.
This time, the PM seems to be the one throwing jabs.
Speaking at the launch in London of the third volume of Margaret Thatcher’s biography by journalist Charles Moore, Johnson branded Extinction Rebellion climate protestors as “uncooperative crusties”.
He then said they should abandon their “hemp-smelling bivouacs” and stop blocking the streets of London.
A remark like this from a disgruntled Tory prime minister might not seem out of the ordinary, particularly from someone like Boris Johnson.
But there’s just one problem
Johnson’s dad, Stanley Johnson, seems to be a supporter of Extinction Rebellion. He’s worn the Extinction Rebellion badge and has photographed himself next to their protests.
Neither of the men have commented on their apparent differences on this issue, but we’re sure it won’t be long before this family tension rears its head.

First OFF anyone with a half a brain cell would know not to listen or believe a single word Out Of Antifas Filthy Nazi Mouths, Wheter They Are IAF or LAF. All weirdos and Pedophiles.
These Are Government/ANTIFA Accounts posing as “Anons” created to sow more division amongst those of us that are truly laying it all on the line, and fast becoming the very bane of the governments/controlled oppositions very existence, not only THAT but putting a HUGE DENT in their UN Agenda 2030 plans for a global fascist dictatorship. Videos / Smear campaigns like these only serve to motivate me to try harder, up my game and hit back harder and that is exactly what i intend on doing. I will not be silenced, say what you want, tell lies to try and worm your way out of your positions as government plants until the cows come home, post what you want, send who you want, they will be met with the same kind of force. The Truth will always Prevail. I am fearless. Fear the man with nothing to lose.
I was roaring laughing at the lies after lies as M15/ANTIFA/IRB/Yellow Vest/Controlled Opposition/Freemasons/Government And Their Lackeys run out of ideas after already failing to stop me, slow me down or even phase me in the slightest. Their lame attempts to break me, my family and circle of friends both offline and online have once again failed miserably. Here is the thing, now you are phuked. You have shown your full hand and i have’nt even started, that’s it ? That’s the best you can do ? I am still here on my laptop, typing with a cuppa, unphased. So now what ? You comin for me or not ? 😀
I have’nt been online much in the past 2 weeks ( just taking a Kit Kat and some Holliers) so it was a perfect window of opportunity for the government plants to bite back. Here is the thing, i am the thorn in their sides, hurting them all in their pockets and they have had enough,. That makes me HAPPY lol 😀 To be attacked like this by the “cancel culture” reassures me that what i am doing in exposing all of the Wolves In Sheeps Clothing, is definitely working and there are a LOT of pissed off wolves out there 😛
I have hundreds of more to expose, both offline and online. I won’t stop now until the addresses of every ANTIFA member, politician and their families and corrupt teachers/guards and any other so called professionals (sell outs) are up online for all to see. Full doxxss, they already know where I live, but don’t have the bottle.
Government Facebook Accounts
AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE “IRELAND AGAINST FASCISM” TAKE FULL CREDIT FOR THE VIDEO AND EVEN APOLOGIZED FOR NOT DOING ONE SOONER.
IRELAND AGAINST FASCISM ARE “ANTIFA” THE SELF PROCLAIMED FAR LEFT NAZIs OF IRELAND KNOWINGLY AIDING AND ABETTING IN CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND WITH IT, THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND. They are the very same people pushing paedophilia under the guise of under-aged sexual education programmes in “children schools” nationwide.
I took it up with Salesians School in Limerick City and nearly got Mary Cahillane (Of ANTIFA/Solidarity), a teacher there, fired, the guards and ombudsman for childrens education were investigating whether Salesians School namely Clare Ray were knowingly collabing with far left extremists ANTIFA during school hours, Clare Ray (Principal) then reported us (me and my GF to TUSLA) for merely making all the other parents aware that these creepy programmes were taking place, behind closed doors, right under the noses of the parents of those poor children, without any consent. Completely Oblivious. Clare then proceeded to ring my GF using bully boy tactics one Sunday afternoon accusing and blaming my GF for all of the “Extra Work That The School Had To Do On THEIR WEEKEND OFF As A Result Of Me Exposing Them” TUSLA were’nt long backing off also. Filthy Animals The Lot Of Them.
These pro governent ANTIFA vermin are also protesting with extreme violence and aggression in a failed bid to have us all muzzled, silenced with FACE NAPPYS and line up for the poisonous JABBYs /Vaxxxxernations
Here you see RICHARD LONG a prominent member of LIMERICK AGAINST FASCISM (Senior Nazi member)AND FAKE FAR RIGHTER AND FRUIT BASKET PHIL BEIRNE take to the “government/shill” accounts under their posts where the smear campaigning was taking place to join in on the charades.
(I’ll copy and paste all of the above into a blog accompanied by images for future reference also)
I can say with all honesty that the individuals being called GOVERNMENT SPIES on these shill accounts are doing some of the most unbelievable astounding and best investigative citizen reporting I have ever seen.
You can actually check them out for yourself in our telegram group here , where we expose all of the controlled opposition.
Also be sure to check out my website and accounts here.
JUST FOR THE RECORD AND IN RESPONSE TO THE VIDEO THE Government/ANTIFA created of me
ANTIFA Claim to have received “anonymous tip offs” about these lies spewed all over their videos but can’t name the individuals for fear of retaliation ? Really ? So we can all just ASSUME that what ANTIFA are telling us, is true ya ?
Because ANTIFA are known to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth ya ? LMAO 😂
Get a life, digging dirt and throwing your toys out of the pram simply because I am not as easily fooled as a large portion of Patriots out there into following Controlled Opposition and freemasons such as Ben Gilroy or Dolores Cahill. Stop now.
I was accused of having XTC tablets in my possession, when i was in my 20s. I’m 42 now. It was 22 years ago. I did’nt even know what a Gestapo or stasi was when i was in my 20s ffs, I was too busy working hard and playing hard, clubbing, Dejaying and dancing. I was set up in Kerry by a Detective – Shane O Driscoll And a Ray Monaghan, I was never found to have any drugs in my possession, someone else in a house party, I person was charged and i was charged 2 years later whilst in college, they arrested me and unlawfully charged me. I broke Shane And Rays hearts with contant blagarding and public orders, running rings and circles around them for years before that so they were hellbent on making me pay for it and they did, by way of a stitch up. There were no other “Drug Dealers” involved. At all.
The images of the attack on me by 2 Guards in Limerick can be found here:
YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE BY THE IMAGES THAT IT WAS ALL BATON MARKS AND BOOT KICKS
When i was 30 (10 Years Later) , me and my mates were involved in a scuffle in a hotel with another crowd at around 2 a.m. We all left, I was followed home by 2 Guards, Cathal O Sullivan and hes associate. I will add pictures of the case details and of the perpetrators, to this blog soon as i can. They left me a right-off. I am not liked very much by the Guards and thats ok, because they are only freemasonic minions and lackeys of the establishment (that’s what i told them on the night “To Phuk Off That They Were Only Minions” and it was read out in court lol, A Darach McCarthy was representing me when all of the evidence “went missing” bar 2 small tiny images of 2 small tiny baton marks on each thigh, the representatives claimed they could’nt find the photos on the day, a big envelope of photos (about 30) and as a result the Judge conveniently justified the force used by the guards on the night, Cathal and hes mate walked free, I appealed the case, my life hasnt been the same since) That’s was the turning point for me, 7 years ago I went to treatment for prescription meds and havent messed with a single “medication” since. I vowed instead to concentrate on my IT credentials and use them to expose the government. That’s around the same time I met a load of Anons online over in Google Plus Groups and eventually got wind of the United Nations Agenda 2021 plans for a prison planet. I that had serious run ins with 77th Brigade Intel Arm Of the British army, CAKU and soros shills online. That’s how i became the Shill Hunter I was exposing the ruling classes Shills for years using this account.
It Was’nt until the fake pandemic happened that I realized that my expertise in this area after years going after intel agencies and their shill accounts that i was going to be needed back here in our own back yard to tackle the pied pipers and controlled opposition.
My Parents moved out of Limerick when i was just 16. I did’nt go with them. I went up and down for years helping them with their discount store before they were made bankrupt about 10 years ago. I sometimes earned my pocket money by going down and helping them with merchandising and storework.
My GFs face painting hobby/entertainment is called Stormy Rainbow after our first miscarriage. We were going to call the baby “STORM”. Unfortunately “Storm” did’nt make it first time around and now our Sons name is Ocean “Storm” O Shea 😀 Born 3 years later. The Rainbow part had absolutely nothing to do with LGBT, did’nt even spring to mind. It was because we were going to try for a RAINBOW BABY (a baby that comes after a miscarriage “shorturl.at/bry36” )Not that either of us have a problem with gay or homosexual individuals, in fact we both know quiet a few in Limerick and Afar. Let’s get one thing clear, I have never WENT AFTER LGBT members or their community/members, I have no interest in Horizontal Fighting , I want the Nazis, the ones pushing migration replacement agenda, the ones pushing the covid narrative, the climate narrative, Agenda 2021, Agenda 2030 Etc Etc. THE RULING CLASS. I am self admittedly a Avid Populist. I’m neither pro or anti LGBT. I do however have a massive issue with MAPs Minor Attracted Persons Or/And Paedophiles. Period.
My website speaks for itself
te The reason the government/ANTIFA Are making these videos on me will speak volumes after a quick glance at my website
My website is a threat to their very livelihoods and it certainly does’nt help that I am the one steering and sailing that boat. One word. Populism. They detest me 🙂
Be sure to check out the ANTIFA Section of my website also
The Parsons family are a high level Anglo-Irish nobility with authority over a portion of Ireland within County of Offaly and they specialize in engineering, politics, and law. They are also co-managers of the Hell Fire Club and they burn people alive usually in forests or in industrial basements with furnaces. The Parsons family and their agents need to be eradicated out of existence. Ireland is Roman territory and the top Irish clans serve the Black Nobility of Rome. The Parsons family also gained more influence during the Hanover reign of the British Crown. The Parsons family formerly held titles in England and currently are the Earls of Rosse in Ireland headed up by Brendan Parsons the 7th Earl of Rosse and his sons Lawrence Parsons the Lord of Oxmantown and Michael Parsons. The Earls of Rosse are extremely oppressive Freemasons and they oversee Wiccan gang stalking cults operating in the United States. Their ancestor was Richard Parsons the 1st Earl of Rosse and he was the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Ireland and a co-founder of the Hellfire Club. The Hellfire club’s motto was Fais ce que tu voudras which means “do what thou wilt” and this motto was later used by Aleister Crowley. Aleister Crowley promoted murdering children as sacrifices in his book Magick In Theory and Practice.James Wassernman is a high level member of the Ordo Templi Orientis. A ruthless member of Crowley’s Ordo Templi Orientis is a child murdering Satanist named Carey Cowles. He is as evil as they get. The Parsons family specialize in hellish masonic warfare and are deeply involved with the Irish government, politics, and astronomy. Megyn Kelly is the head witch of the Hell Fire Club and she is indescribably wicked. Laura Ingraham is another high level member of the Hell Fire Club. The have held the position of High Sheriff of King’s County. The Parsons Earls of Rosse own Birr Castle which has a telescope called the Leviathan of Parsonstown. Leviathan is a mythological sea serpent. The town of Birr formerly called Parsonstown uses the Parsons panthers on their coat of arms and ocean waves for its flag. There are various US politicians with the last name Parsons. Irish nobility are often involved in politics. The McCain family are an Irish-Scottish bloodline involved with politics, banking, and business. They are associates of the Parsons family and serve the House of Hanover. They are married with the Johnson family and established themselves in New Brunswick. The Hanover family manage the Johnson bloodline and ruled as Dukes of Brunswick, Germany which created the name New Brunswick in Canada. Han in Hanover is for Johannes the German version of John. The founders of McCain foods were from New Brunswick, Canada and the founders of Johnson and Johnson were from New Brunswick, New Jersey. Allison McCain is the Chairman of McCain foods. The name McCain derives from Cain the first murderer mentioned in the Bible. The McCains are Christians and they are ruthless and hate filled murderers. Randal Plunkett the 21st Baron of Dunsany is a high level Irish Freemason and he works with Princess Vittoria Colonna di Stigliano a Roman and her sister Princess Lucrezia Colonna di Stigliano. The Colonna di Stiglianos settled a family branch in Ireland recently and they manage the Grand Lodge of Ireland and the Roman Catholic Church with Diarmuid Martin the Archbishop of Ireland. Princess Vittoria is known by the occult as the “Whore of Babylon.” Princess Vittoria and her blood drinking child murdering cult babbles psychotic nonsense and demented and ruthless false accusations as a defense.
Charles Algernon Parsons was a member of the Earls of Rosse and an inventor of the steam engine and created C. A. Parsons and Company which was later absorbed into Siemens a large industrial company with about 130 billion in assets. Ralph M. Parsons founded Parsons Corporation which is a US engineering company with earnings at about 3 billion which has worked with Daniel, Mann, Johnson & Mendenhall a company co-founded by S. Kenneth Johnson. Parsons Brinckerhoff is another US engineering company founded by William Barclay Parsons and now a subsidiary of WSP Global. William W. Parsons was NASA’s Director of Kennedy Space Center. Jack Parsons was a rocket scientist and occultist that was known for creating “Babalon Working” which is a ritual to honor the Mother of Abominations and he carried out this ritual with the Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard. The Mother of Abominations is also known as the Scarlet Woman. In Italian Rosse means red or scarlet and the name Rosse likely comes from the Florentine House of de Rossi in honor of Rome’s conquering of Ireland. The Babalon Working ritual was based on the teachings of Aleister Crowley. The Crowley family are a Anglo-Irish family that have intermarried with various British Peers. Brian Crowley is an Irish politician today. Tony Parsons and Gary Crowley have worked together in the English music industry. The Parsons family also work with the Anglo-Irish Bailey and Guinness banking families and are involved in financing and directing Wiccan cults that carry out persecution, human sacrifice, and covert terrorism for the purpose of their attempt at a global takeover. A high level witch, gang stalker, and child murdering pedophile and cannibal in my region is named Meghan Parsons who is their Vicar of Calypso. The Greek name Calypso means hidden like occult. She is one of the highest level satanic witches in society. Meghan Parsons is completely evil and relentlessly falsely accuses other women for her crimes. She is a huge problem in society. She also slanders people especially women she is envious of and then blames men for it. She is sick and hellish. Meghan Parsons needs to be executed immediately. She is entirely evil and one of the most oppressive females on the planet. Meghan Parsons says mean things about women and then blames men for it. This is similar to what Richard Parson did. He received a letter that exposed him for his crimes and depravity so Richard Parsons sent that letter and readdressed it to Robert FitzGerald accusing him of his crimes. Meghan Parsons worships the actor Jesse Johnson who is a child molester, blood drinker and psychotic terrorist that attacks other men out of envy. Meghan McCain works closely with Meghan Parsons. Meghan McCain’s grandmother is a Johnson. Meghan McCain is a highly sadistic witch and her mother Cindy McCain is an evil witch.
Brendan Parsons the 7th Earl of Rosse is a high level Irish noble with authority over the Hell Fire Club. The Hell Fire Club burns people alive as sacrifices. They are sadists.
Michael Parsons is an authority over the Hell Fire Club.
Richard Parsons, the 1st Earl of Rosse, was arguably the highest status of the Irish Hellfire Club members.
Parsons was known for his practical jokes that he particularly liked to inflict upon the religious. He used to reportedly received his neighbour, the noted clergyman and moralist Dr Madden, completely stark naked. By the age of 39, the years of excess caught up with him. It is reported that on his deathbed, he received a letter that was simply addressed to‘My Lord’. The letter was sent by his neighbour, the Reverend Dr Madden.
It contained an account of all of the Parsons’ misdemeanours in his life
“whoring, gaming, drinking, rioting, turning the day into night, blaspheming his maker, and in short, all manner of wickedness”.
The letter urged him to repent his sins. Instead of yielding or confessing, the Parsons saw a final chance for a jape. He had the letter put into fresh binding and ordered it to be immediatelydelivered to Robert FitzGerald, the famously straight-laced and pious Earl of Kildare. FitzGerald was reported to have been enraged when he received this baffling attack on his character. By the time FitzGerald had confronted Madden and realised who had played the trick, Richard Parsons had died, enjoying one last laugh at the expense of the sombre society that he so delighted in shocking in life (3, 4).
Scientist Who Conjured Spirits with L. Ron Hubbard
Born 100 years ago, Jack Parsons seemed devoted to reconciling opposites, smashing together the technical and the spiritual.
Parsons made this fact even clearer when he started to develop a growing interest in magic and the supernatural. By the late 1930s, he had begun frequenting nightly meetings of the Ordo Templi Orientis, an occult society that met in nearby Los Angeles. The OTO, as it is known, was created by the English occultist Aleister Crowley, a heroin-addicted, sexually adventuresome, God-profaning master of the dark arts, who the tabloids had christened “The Wickedest Man in the World.”
Their motto was “Fais ce que tu voudras” (“Do what thou wilt”). One of the Dublin Club founders was Richard Parsons, 1st Earl of Rosse, and Grandmaster of the Freemasons of Dublin.
The Roman Catholic Megyn Kelly is a murderous sadist and top witch of the Hell Fire Club. Megyn Kelly has burned children alive. She is a murderous psychopath. Megyn Kelly worked for Fox News which promoted the lawless and criminal wars on Iraq and Afghanistan. Rupert Murdoch the billionaire owner of Fox News is a Vatican knight of Saint Gregory.
Ó Ceallaigh is the most influential dynasty of the ancient túath of Uí Maine, and the original Irish Gaelic name for the surname commonly Anglicized as Kelley, Kelly, or Kellie. It is a name meaning “Descendant of Ceallach,” “bright haired,” or “troublesome.” Though some have linked it to the old Irish “ceall” for “church.”
In many cases Kelly is an Anglicisation of the Irish surname Ó Ceallaigh (IPA [oːˈcal̪ˠiː]), which means “descendant of Ceallach” or it can also mean warrior or fighter.
Cindy McCain is a high level witch and member of the Hell Fire Club.
Meghan McCain is an extremely evil and hate filled witch. The McCain name means the “Son of Cain” and in the Bible Cain is known as the first murderer. Her father John McCain was a war propagandist who strongly supported the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and has been suspected of financing and organizing Islamic terrorists in Syria. Meghan McCain’s grandmother was Marguerite Johnson. The McCain and Johnson families have intermarried and work closely together and both serve the German House of Hanover. The various Johnson bloodlines are agents of the House of Hanover. Han in German refers to Johannes the German version of John. The House of Hanover in Germany ruled Brunswick and gave the name to New Brunswick, Canada where the billionaire McCain family that own McCain Foods reside. The American Johnson family that owns Johnson & Johnson live in New Brunswick, New Jersey and are also agents of the Hanovers. The Hanovers were Kings of Ireland. Meghan McCain manages the satanic witch Meghan Parsons and she worships the actor Jesse Johnson.
Hans is a masculine given name. In German, Danish, Dutch, Faroese, Norwegian, Icelandic and Swedish, it was originally short for Johannes[2] (John), but is now also recognized as a name in its own right for official purposes.
The House of Hanover (German: Haus Hannover), whose members are known as Hanoverians (/ˌhænəˈvɪəriənz, -noʊˈ-, -ˈvɛər-/), is a German royal house that ruled Hanover, Great Britain, and Ireland at various times during the 17th through 20th centuries.
Cindy Lou Hensley McCain (born May 20, 1954)[1] is an American businesswoman, philanthropist and humanitarian. She is the widow of United States Senatorand 2008Republican presidential nominee John McCain from Arizona.
Cindy Lou Hensley was born in Phoenix, Arizona,[2] to James Hensley, who founded Hensley & Co.,[3] and Marguerite “Smitty” Hensley (née Johnson).[2][4][5]
McCain Foods Limited is a Canadian multi-national privately owned company established in 1957 in Florenceville, New Brunswick, Canada.
Allison McCain the Chairman of McCain Foods. The Canadian McCains of New Brunswick, Canada are worth billions. McCain Foods specializes in potato products. The Potato Famine in Ireland was engineered and caused by chemists or alchemists and liars who sabotaged crops.

The Colonna family have neuro-computer interface technologies and electronic weapons. Her family resides in Ireland and they are from Rome.
Princess Vittoria Colonna di Stigliano is a Roman noble who lives in Ireland and she is a babbling psychopath and major child murderer. She is the head of the Illuminati’s Project Monarch mind control and that is why she has a monarch butterfly on her hat. Monarch Mind Control is a program that turns women into sexual predators and assassins. Princess Vittoria manages thousands of female gang stalkers including a psychotic sadist named Ashley Esther Dalene who is a babbling devil. The butterfly symbol is often used in entertainment industry for young women. Disney frequently uses butterfly symbols around young women and girls. Princess Vittoria’s father Prince Prospero Colonna di Stigliano is a top authority in Ireland and he manages the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland and oversees the Grand Lodge of Ireland. Princess Vittoria is their “Whore of Babylon” because she is a satanic whore that rapes, murders, and cannibalizes children and uses babble as a defense. They harass people with babbling nonsense to create confusion and irritation as a defense mechanism. The Whore of Babylon is described in the Bible as wearing purple like Princess Vittoria and having a golden cup in her hand and here she is holding a glass of wine. It says she intoxicates people with the “wine of her fortification” which represents how these evil women molest children and murder them and then extract adrenaline and adrenaline filled blood from their victims which they get intoxicated from. The same ones or bloodlines like the Colonnas that are doing this are the ones who put together the Bible and Revelation.
The Whore of Babylon or Babylon the Great is a symbolic female figure and also place of evil mentioned in the Book of Revelation in the Bible. Her full title is stated in Revelation 17 (verse 5) as Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and Abominations of the Earth (Greek: μυστηριον, Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη, ἡ μήτηρ τῶν πορνῶν καὶ τῶν βδελυγμάτων τῆς γῆς; transliterated Mysteriōn, Babylōn hē megalē, hē mētēr tōn pornōn kai tōn bdelygmatōn tēs gēs).
With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
The Babalon Working was a series of magic ceremonies or rituals performed from January to March 1946 by author, pioneer rocket-fuel scientist, and occultist Jack Parsons and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.[1] This ritual was essentially designed to manifest an individual incarnation of the archetypal divine feminine called Babalon. The project was based on the ideas of Aleister Crowley
Brian Crowley is the longest serving Irish MEP in Europe. He has also served in the Irish Senate and was a member of President Mary McAleese’s Council of State.
MAGICK IN THEORY AND PRACTICE by The Master Therion Aleister Crowley
Of the Bloody Sacrifice: and Matters Cognate.
For the highest spiritual working one must accordingly choose that victim which contains the greatest and purest force. A male child of perfect innocence and high intelligence[8] is the most satisfactory and suitable victim.
James Wasserman is a high level member of the Ordo Templi Orientis and a brainwasher like many OTO members that claims that child sacrifice and terrorizing people with witchcraft is liberty based on the teachings of Crowley and his motto of “Do what thou wilt.” Ordo Templi Orientis is under the authority of the Hell Fire Club. Since members of the Hell Fire Club and Ordo Templi Orientis support and promote the murder of children then I support and promote the killing of members of these child murdering cults.

I am a one man operation that has been trying to filter through all the “New Aged” worldwide propaganda preached to the truth community / freedom fighters through fake “truth gurus/mentors”, so that i can bring you the “actual” truth. I have been doing this since 2016 and went mainstream in 2018. These “wolves in sheeps clothing” are “planted” within the community as “Gatekeepers” to, sow division, utilize delay/deflect tactics misinform and mislead the “free-thinkers” or anyone that opposes the “Occultist Hidden Hand” or “Shadow Government” , straight to the slaughterhouse.
I would like to say thanks to all the fellow “watchmen”, “Shill Hunters” and “Genuine truthers/researchers/free thinkers” working tirelessly around the clock out there, putting yourself in the trenches, laying it all on the line by sounding the alarm over the last several years, sacrifices have been made, reputations tarnished, online friends and family members have been lost and lots more put on the back burner.

The plan is you will own nothing and be happy, there’s not enough good people who knew in advance they were planning to attack the world in this way for there to be a large counter plan to the new world order, but it’s gradually coming together.
I had no idea people could be so pathetic, it seems unreal, or like I’m taking crazy pills. Maybe I was taking crazy pills.
I just emailed a link to my father, who doesn’t know why he’s been coughing for a month straight. He thinks it’s dust in the air or because it’s winter.
One of the theories going around is that they’re going to make abortion illegal to cover up the fact everyone who took the jab is now sterile, or a significant number.
Recently Bill Gates said “they made a mistake” about how deadly the covid virus was, and it was actually kind of like the flu, even while Trump still says it was going to be like the Spanish flu and he saved tens of millions of lives, which is objectively a lie, no matter how you look at it.
Trust the plan was a Qanon thing, it was based around Trump being a savior, and I accept that the conservative side is generally better than Biden and the Democrats, but for one thing, I’m not even in the same country.

I don’t trust Del Bigtree because I believe he (and others) have co-opted the legitimate grassroots “anti-vaccine” movement, and turned it into a more palatable and acceptable “Safer Vaccine Movement” or the “Vaccine Risk Awareness Movement”, as part of an elaborate controlled opposition campaign. This has been obvious to many of us for a long time, but for people who may be new to these concepts, I will lay out some of the basics.
This campaign is designed to take control of the legitimate opposition voice, which understands that all vaccines are dangerous, create new artificial boundaries as to what is and isn’t an acceptable level of resistance and dissent in the public discourse about vaccines, and silence and marginalize the informed and unjected – the real dissidents and the real health and freedom movement – people who understand that there’s no such thing as a safe vaccine.
This campaign aims for and achieves several goals and objectives. Among them, it redraws the lines around what is considered “acceptable” debate about vaccines by labeling folks like Del and his buddy RFK Jr. as “anti-vax extremists” who are spreading “dangerous information,” when in fact they are soft-serve activists who aren’t extreme at all – except in the sense that they think vaccines are generally safe and effective, which is insane. The psy-war on reality turns night into day and day into night which results in normal, healthy, intelligent people pushed out of the conversation altogether and relabels people like Del, who are half insane pro-vaxxers as the “extremists.” But the real extremists are the mainstream science and media lovers who are 100% rabidly pro-vaccine, including the so-called new “experimental” COVID19 vaccine.
Del and his cohorts are just as insane as these folks, with the exception that they want the vaccines to be “safer”. The opposite of the word ‘safe,’ is ‘dangerous.’ So by making something “safer,” you are, by definition, really only making it “less dangerous.”
What the majority of folks in the COVID truther scene don’t understand is the pervasive nature of this controlled opposition campaign, its strategies and tactics, and ultimate goals.
The truthers have been set up to fall into these traps, thanks to wolves in sheep’s clothing like Del Bigtree. The ultimate goal of this insidious campaign is very simple – it is designed to get the skeptics and truther community to DEMAND
MORE GOVERNMENT.
This is accomplished via a ‘slow reveal’ strategy, employed by the mainstream and alternative media, who are one in the same and work for the same interests and agendas under a cover of manufactured conflict. The slow reveal happens over a course of months and years. Slowly, more and more information is ‘brought to light’ that the COVID vaccines are dangerous. This is accompanied by soap opera storylines which focus on people like Dr. Fauci or Bill Gates, and evil corporations like Pfizer and Moderna, in order to get the truther masses hooked and addicted to the fear-laced drama. Like all addicts, once they are hooked, they keep coming back to engage with this surface level drama and miss the big picture.
So – here is the big picture. It is VERY SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND.
While this paper may focus on vaccines, the bigger picture is not about vaccines, and has never been about vaccines. This is about CONTROL. Control of the population and every aspect of our physical and spiritual lives, which is achieved by giving the GOVERNMENT and the DEMONS more control over EVERYTHING. The vaccine is only one of the vectors which this operation uses to spring into motion a series of objectives that ultimately lead to the new world government globalist technocratic slave system.
Agents like Del Bigtree and RFK Jr. play an important role in this operation. One might say they are central to its success. They gain the trust of the skeptics who gradually hand over what little critical thinking skills they have to these deceivers, without realizing that they have been specifically cast in these roles as benevolent heroes, to fight the evil Fauci/Gates/Pfizer characters. This is written as part of the screenplay and is obvious for those who have moved past the first layers of deception.
Sadly, most truthers are completely oblivious to this, which is why I have to keep writing these damn papers. This is known as classic PROBLEM, REACTION, SOLUTION.
The entire scam relies on these heroes to highlight the “dangerous vaccine problem” via the long and drawn out “slow reveal campaign” – wait for the public’s reaction and then present the solution. It goes something like this:
Problem: Fauci/Gates/Biden/Pharma/Whoever are corrupt and evil!
Pfizer/Moderna engaged in data manipulation and lies! The COVID vaccines are dangerous!
Reaction: “OMG! THE VACCINES ARE DANGEROUS! THEY’RE TRYING TO KILL US! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE SO THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN!
WHERE ARE OUR HEROES!??”
Solution: We must make the vaccines safer! These companies must be held accountable. We must have better safety regulations and oversight. We need a task force to investigate the corruption and root out the wrongdoing. Those responsible must be held to account and we need a new regulatory body to play the role of watchdog over these evil Big Pharma companies!
WE NEED MORE GOVERNMENT!!
There is an even more insidious goal underneath all of this, which lies in the spiritual realm. The goal is to lead the truthers astray and towards the false light, by exposing the dark and sinister plan of the mainstream’s agenda. That is by design and that is why we see the Fauci/Gates/Pfizer clan exposed so thoroughly and more people “waking up” to the evil agenda. They’re not really waking up, though. The darkness is meant to be exposed, in order to lead them to the false light. It’s a trick and an easy one to understand if you pay attention. This is an important subject that needs to be explored further but is outside the scope of this paper. I only wanted to mention it briefly because it’s relevant.
As we all know by now, none of the so-called leaders of this fake resistance movement are interested in completely tearing down this evil, corrupt system or eliminating toxicity from our lives. All they care about is creating the illusion that the vaccines can be made SAFER. This is an obvious LIE that anyone can understand, if they’ve done their homework. The reason it’s a lie is because there is no such thing as a safe vaccine. If this sounds extreme to you, it’s because you have not yet started your journey of unlearning.
So, in order to drive this point home, it’s time to expose everyone’s favorite “safe vaccine” advocate, Del Bigtree.
Before we start, let me just say that I knew who Del Bigtree was prior to launch of the fake COVID19 pandemic, via his propaganda film VaXXed, but I noticed immediately how he had been pushed into the spotlight to control the opposition narrative early on in the pandemic which was an immediate red flag. Indeed, within those first few weeks, Del quickly became the “go to” source of information for those who had a hunch something fishy was going on, and thus established himself as a trustworthy and credible voice for the gullible truther/skeptic crowd.
I immediately smelled a rat, not because of anything he said or did at the time, but simply because the slick production behind his Highwire show was an obvious clue for me. He was GIVEN to me, which made him suspect from the beginning.
I then began doing my own research on him and exposing him online in different research groups and channels. That is when I found the work of Greg Wyatt. Greg has the best research on the internet and has been exposing the Del Bigtree crime syndicate for years.
With the above in mind, please use this paper as a guide or a starting point only. I will only scratch the surface and give you the most important information, but if you continue down the rabbit hole, you will find a lot more and I highly recommend Greg Wyatt’s research for all the information you need. I also recommend doing your own research, as well. Don’t just take my word for it or Greg’s word for it, do your due diligence and if you find errors in this paper, please send them to me. I consider Greg a man of integrity who is honest and as trustworthy as they come – a rarity in the so-called “truther” scene. Greg has also been through HELL to bring this information to us, so respect the research and do your homework. Start with this paper and then the information on Greg’s website.
Finally, I want to thank Greg for his research which has been a valuable companion to my own. While I found a lot about Del on my own, Greg deserves most of the credit because he has been doing this a lot longer than I have. I am grateful for his tireless and exhaustive efforts at exposing these criminals. He has left me some very valuable breadcrumbs that I’ve used to find more information.
PART 1
THE APPLE DOESN’T FALL FAR FROM THE BIG TREE
So first, let’s start with Del’s background and family history. The following italicized sections were written by Greg Wyatt with additional sources added by me. I followed Greg’s leads, fact-checked and did my own, additional research.
Del has a family history of being a showman and as such, there is the mask he wears in public and the products of his actions in real life. There seems to be a disconnect between what this actor portrays himself to be and the truth.
Norma was born on January 14, 1943 to Norman and Mary Bigtree in Syracuse, NY. Norman Bigtree(05/10/11 – 03/26/71) was a full-blood Iroquois Indian born on the Onondaga Reservation. Norman was a machinist for the Chrysler Corporation until his death in 1971. Norma was the eldest of three daughters, followed by Jeanne Bigtree (now Bagi) and the youngest Sandra Bigtree… When
…Norma met Jack Groverland in the early 1960’s and they appeared in off-Broadway productions together in New York City. Norma starred in Curley McDimple(a Shirley Temple spoof) from November 22, 1967 to January 15, 1970. She performed with Barry Manilow, Bernadtte Peters, etc, when she met Jack Groverland.
When “Tent Revival” preaching became popular in the 1960’s, Norma and Jack suddenly found a more lucrative career promoting God and ditched the theater for the tent. It’s not clear why Del does not have his father’s last name.
Well, Del’s father’s last name isn’t actually Groverland, but we’ll come back to that later.
So, with just a cursory check of Del’s family, we’ve learned two important things. First, we’ve learned that Del’s family has been involved in showmanship and acting. This is important for obvious reasons. It suggests that Del too is nothing but an actor. We’ll explore this later.
From Norma’s Bio, on her own website, she says that she is the daughter of a
Mohawk Native American Father (Norman Bigtree) and a Russian Immigrant
Mother (Mary Wolniak). The Mohawk are an Iroquoian-speaking North
American Indian tribe and the easternmost tribe of the Iroquois
Other sources confirm that Norman was indeed a “full-blood Iroquois Indian born on the Onondaga Reservation.” Norman’s race is listed as “Indian” (same for his father, Mitchell) here. But the U.S. Census data from1940 lists Norman’s race as “White,” and his Ethnicity as “American.”
Find a Grave says that Norman was born in Hogansburg, Franklin County, New York which is 200 miles away from the Onondaga Reservation. Ancestry says the same thing. Find a Grave says he was buried in Onondaga County, but something seems off here.
Norman’s father is Mitchell Bigtree, born in 1876.
Mitchell’s father is Philip Bigtree and his father is George Bigtree. That’s as far back as records go and they do all seem like legitimate Native Americans to me.
Here is a photo of Philip Bigtree.
Norman Bigtree is listed in the Geneology sites as one of nine children of Mitchell Bigtree and Margaret Ellen Doyle. Mitchell and Margaret Ellen Doyle were married in Manchester, England on April 6, 1896. Norman was born 15 years later (allegedly on the Onondaga Reservation).
Also, I’ve found that some sources list him as Norman Bigtree (one word), while others list him as Norman Big Tree (two words).
According to the book Notes on the Iroquois by Henry R. Schoolcraft, it is confirmed that the Big Tree family (two words) was indeed from Onondaga, but the US Census data from 1888-1893 lists the Bigtree family (one word) in St.
Regis, not Onondaga (Norman was born in 1911).
Norman’s Great Grandmother on his mother’s side is Margaret Downie, born in England and died in Germany. So it’s clear that Norman can’t be full-blooded Iroquois Indian. The Indian is on his father’s side only.
It should also be noted that Doyle (Norman’s mother, Mitchell’s wife) is a peerage name, including at least 5 Baronets. Just one example is General Sir John Doyle, 1st Baronet, who was born between 1750 and 1756.1He was the son of Charles Doyle and ElizabethMilley
General Sir John Doyle
So clearly there’s no Native American roots from Norman’s mother’s side.
It does seem a little odd that a Native American would travel to England and get married there and then come back, in the 1800s, but it’s certainly possible and not necessarily a red flag. Did he meet Margaret in New York and they went back to her homeland for the wedding? Or was he in England for other reasons and then met her there?

Refresh Stuffed Animals

Cover it, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, and rinse with hot water.
Prolong Your Bouquet Lifespan
Having a wonderful flower arrangement in your house can significantly improve the overall energy and vibe. It brings life into any home, breaks up the space, and introduces color. Besides, a beautiful flower scent is an amazing bonus, whether it’s roses, daffodils, or peonies.

SPF is an essential part of skincare, and if you want to enjoy your stay at the beach fully, make sure to pack an SPF of at least 30 to 50. This won’t prevent you from getting a nice bronze tan but instead prolong the length of time you can spend outside, enjoying the weather.

Stop a Cooking Fire
Not everyone has access to a fire extinguisher. Let’s agree on that premise. So what does someone do in the case of a small cooking fire? Of course, you could try to put it out with an apron or a kitchen cloth. However, those things might catch on fire as well.

If a small cooking fire occurs, quickly grab baking soda. It will provide the necessary carbon dioxide to put out the fire. Just throw in a handful of it in a pot or a pan. Baking soda is an essential part of fire extinguishers, so it’s not a bad idea to have it on hand in case of any accidents.
Strip Paint with Baking Soda

After some time, our clothes and laundry lose their initial color and even texture. You brought a vibrant pink sweater, but now it looks more of a maroon color. We can use products to make the color more permanent and prevalent. One of the ways we can achieve this is by using, you guessed it, baking soda!

Adding half a cup of baking soda to your regular liquid detergent will ensure your clothes to be brighter, more vibrant, and nicer. It works on both colored and white laundry. Besides the color enhancement, baking soda will ensure your laundry is odor-free.
Disinfect Your Retainers
Dental health and care are some of the most critical aspects of overall health.

Especially if you are wearing retainers or braces, you must make sure they are clean and disinfected properly.

Since baking soda is a powerful disinfectant, it is an excellent solution for staying on budget! All you should do is brush your retainers with baking soda and water to refresh them and keep them sanitary and clean. This way, you’ll disinfect your retainers or dentures and kill bacteria. Way to go!

Greg found a newspaper article that says that Norma Bigtree was the granddaughter of a Mohawk chief whose visage adorns the nickel coin. (Daily News, New York, New York, Friday May 13, 1966.) Iwas able to find another source for this, here. But I haven’t found any evidence that Mitchell was a Mohawk Chief.
So let’s recap, so that we don’t get too confused. Del’s mother Norma says that her father (Norman) is a Mohawk Native American. Multiple sources say he was born on the Onondaga Reservation, but his records show that he wasn’t born there. Furthermore, he is listed as “white” in the U.S. Census (presumably because his mother is a white European) and his parents (Mitchell and Margaret Ellen Doyle) were married in England. Several newspaper articles say that Norma is the granddaughter of a Mohawk Indian Chief whose likeness was used on the nickel coin, presumably referring to Mitchell Bigtree. But there’s no evidence that Mitchell was a Chief and we know he wasn’t used for the nickel.

Mildew Remover
If you are a perfectionist like ourselves, you’ll find it difficult not to clean all the small crevices you simply can’t reach or can’t disinfect well enough. Mildew usually forms in bathrooms due to humidity and the constant circulation of water.

Some pots and pans require more detailed cleaning, that’s all! If you want to save your favorite pan and not throw it away due to extreme residue and damage, we advise you to add baking soda to the pan generously, fill it with water and scrub away.
Sunburn Relief
SPF is an essential part of skincare, and if you want to enjoy your stay at the beach fully, make sure to pack an SPF of at least 30 to 50. This won’t prevent you from getting a nice bronze tan but instead prolong the length of time you can spend outside, enjoying the weather.
Image courtesy of elizabethmaaee/Reddit
However, if you don’t protect your vulnerable skin, you’ll get a sunburn, no doubt. Sunburns can be painful, and burns can even turn out severe. To help alleviate the pain, mix cold water and baking soda and apply it to the burns.

There has been some confusion regarding the Bigtrees vs the Big Trees discussed in different online message boards.
Greg writes: But an obituary of John Big Tree says he never had any children. Forum posts on a genealogy website have similar discrepancies. A woman who went to school with Norma reports that she was the granddaughter of Chief Johnnie but later forum reports say that articles about John Big Tree indicate he did not have a family. Plus the difference in spelling from Big Tree to Bigtree. So which account is true? In typical showbiz fashion, the truth is lost when the agenda is to sell an image.
For what it’s worth, Chief John was also buried at Onondaga Reservation which perhaps adds to the confusion. My research found that Chief John had 3 wives and 2 children. Chief John is said to have been married to Phoebe White and they had a child named Deforest Johnnyjohn together. He was also married to Clara T. Jimerson, confirmed on multiple Geneology sites – and they had one child together, Birdie Johnny John.
Chief John was also married to Cynthia Johnson Big Tree who is listed as an equal suffragist and Indian Model. They had no children together. She was his last wife.

Mildew Remover
If you are a perfectionist like ourselves, you’ll find it difficult not to clean all the small crevices you simply can’t reach or can’t disinfect well enough. Mildew usually forms in bathrooms due to humidity and the constant circulation of water.

Baking soda can help you with mildew as well! Create a paste with water and baking soda to scrub the inscrutable bathtub, shower, toilet, basin, and tiles. Afterward, make sure to rinse with water. If you want to go all out, spray the area with white vinegar to disinfect it even more.
Saving an Unfortunately Burnt Pan

Some pots and pans require more detailed cleaning, that’s all! If you want to save your favorite pan and not throw it away due to extreme residue and damage, we advise you to add baking soda to the pan generously, fill it with water and scrub away.
Sunburn Relief
SPF is an essential part of skincare, and if you want to enjoy your stay at the beach fully, make sure to pack an SPF of at least 30 to 50. This won’t prevent you from getting a nice bronze tan but instead prolong the length of time you can spend outside, enjoying the weather.

Dry Shampoo Hack

Stop a Cooking Fire
Not everyone has access to a fire extinguisher. Let’s agree on that premise. So what does someone do in the case of a small cooking fire? Of course, you could try to put it out with an apron or a kitchen cloth. However, those things might catch on fire as well.
Image courtesy of Serious Eats
If a small cooking fire occurs, quickly grab baking soda. It will provide the necessary carbon dioxide to put out the fire. Just throw in a handful of it in a pot or a pan. Baking soda is an essential part of fire extinguishers, so it’s not a bad idea to have it on hand in case of any accidents.

If you are a perfectionist like ourselves, you’ll find it difficult not to clean all the small crevices you simply can’t reach or can’t disinfect well enough. Mildew usually forms in bathrooms due to humidity and the constant circulation of water.

Baking soda can help you with mildew as well! Create a paste with water and baking soda to scrub the inscrutable bathtub, shower, toilet, basin, and tiles. Afterward, make sure to rinse with water. If you want to go all out, spray the area with white vinegar to disinfect it even more.

Some pots and pans require more detailed cleaning, that’s all! If you want to save your favorite pan and not throw it away due to extreme residue and damage, we advise you to add baking soda to the pan generously, fill it with water and scrub away.
Sunburn Relief
SPF is an essential part of skincare, and if you want to enjoy your stay at the beach fully, make sure to pack an SPF of at least 30 to 50. This won’t prevent you from getting a nice bronze tan but instead prolong the length of time you can spend outside, enjoying the weather.

If a small cooking fire occurs, quickly grab baking soda. It will provide the necessary carbon dioxide to put out the fire. Just throw in a handful of it in a pot or a pan. Baking soda is an essential part of fire extinguishers, so it’s not a bad idea to have it on hand in case of any accidents.

I’m sure I don’t need to go into details, as it should be obvious.
Del also has two younger siblings that are said to be fathered by Jack Groverland. Again, there’s not much resemblance at all.
Why is all of this important? Well, I can’t say that it is, given I didn’t find any conclusive evidence one way or another. If Del is related to Chief John, as Greg suspects, then it’s important because it means he’s lying. It’s also important because it establishes a further deep link to Hollywood. As we’ve already seen, Del’s immediate family was involved in Showbiz, and he has been as well. Even some family members who weren’t directly involved in Showbiz seem to have public personas – see Del’s great uncle’s the Wolniakbrothers as an example.
Before we move on, I’d like to again repeat that any connection to Chief John Big Tree at this point is speculation only. Perhaps others may find a missing link that I was unable to find. I encourage others to pick up where I left off.
In Summary – We have established that Norma’s father Norman isn’t a full blooded Iroquoi as some sources claim. We have also seen Norman’s name spelled Bigtree and Big Tree leading to further confusion and lending to the possibility that there could be a connection to Chief John Big Tree. We have also learned that Norma’s grandmother is British, and in the peerage. We have also learned that Chief John Big Tree is from the same area, was buried at the Onondaga Reservation, and was born during the same time period (one month apart) as Mitchell Bigtree (Del’s great grandfather). Finally, we have multiple sources that claim that Norma is the granddaughter of a Mohawk Chief whose likeness was used on the nickel coin, but we know Mitchell wasn’t a Mohawk Chief and we know that it was Chief John Big Tree whose likeness was used on the nickel coin. These are the reasons that lead to the suspicions that Del may be related to Chief John, but again there’s nothing concrete. Perhaps they are coincidences, perhaps there is a connection, or perhaps there are errors in the reporting and there is no link at all.
Del’s Father, Jack Groverland
The first thing we should know about Jack is that Groverland isn’t his real last name. He changed his last name from Arnebold to Groverland.
“I grew up in the crime infested ghettos of Hoboken and Jersey City where I learned all the wrong ideas about life. I lived with my father, an immigrant truck driver who couldn’t begin to imagine the life I’m living now.In those dark days I was a petty thief, gang fighter, gambler and fool. I left all that when I escaped from jail under a hail of bullets and in the process had my first spiritual experience.
I found the death record for Jack’s brother, John Arnebold which shows us that
Jack had two sisters, Katherine and Irene and his mother’s name is Sally. I found no more information on “Sally,” but Ancesty.com doesn’t list any Sally.
Jack’s father is Frederich “Fritz” Arnebold, who immigrated to the United States from Germany. According to records, he was indeed a truck driver, employed by Charles Miller & Co.

I found no red flags with Jack’s story, however his claim that he escaped from jail under a “hail of bullets,” and then changed his name, requires further attention. Wouldn’t that make him a fugitive? It is also unclear why he changed his last name and there may be something else there worth looking into.
Ancestry lists Fritz’s wife (presumably Jack’s Mother) as Louise Arnebold and I found no further information on her.
Peggy (Lee’s Mom) was the creative director for the Oleg Cassinibrand.
WHO IS OLEG CASSINI?
Oleg Cassini was the fashion designer of Jacqueline Kennedy’s iconic wardrobe. This is significant because it establishes the start of a relationship between this family and the Kennedy family, (and eventually Del Bigtree).
Jacqueline Kennedy became a global fashion icon during her husband’s presidency. After the 1960 election, she commissioned French-born American fashion designer and Kennedy family friend Oleg Cassinito create an original wardrobe for her appearances as First Lady. From 1961 to 1963, Cassini dressed her in many of her most iconic ensembles, including her Inauguration Day fawn coat and Inaugural gala gown, as well as many outfits for her visits to Europe, India, and Pakistan. In 1961, Kennedy spent $45,446 more on fashion than the $100,000 annual salary her husband earned as president. (Source)
The two Nestor sisters, Marianne and Peggy have been embroiled in a lawsuit over the New York 5th Avenue mansion left to Marianne after Oleg’s death in 2006. Christina “Tina” Cassini and her sister, Daria, daughters of Oleg and Gene
Tierney were the presumed heirs to the nearly $60 million estate. She fought Marianne over her late father’s estate until her untimely death in March of 2015 at the age of 67. The estate battle continues in the eye of the public, as
Alexandre Cassini Belmont, Oleg’s grandson, has also entered a claim. Marianne has spent time in jail as she drags her heels on providing the court with accurate accounting records of the estate of which half is rightly due to the heirs of Oleg’s daughter, Tina. (Source)
Was it then that Peggy Nestor became friends with the Kennedy family? Is Lee the link between Del and his current business partner Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and the various business endeavors they have launched?
Oleg Cassini had two other wives– Merry Elizabeth Fahrney, and actress Gene Tierney. He was also engaged to Oscar Award winning actress Grace Kelly. Oleg is also the son of a Count and Countess – RussianAristocrats.
Czar Nicholas’ ambassador to China and the United States was Arthur Cassini.
HIs daughter, Marguerite, married Alexander Loiewski. Their two children were Oleg and Igor. Both Oleg and Igor were known as “playboys” and had multiple wives. When Oleg died, his estate was worth over $60 million dollars – which is when Marianne Nestor produced a marriage certificate from 1971.
As mentioned, Peggy Nestor is Marianne’s sister and mother to Lee Nestor – Del Bigtree’s wife. This is why we see Lee Nestor in “Cassini Perfume” advertisements.
Marianne and Peggy controlled the Cassini estate and companies after his death.
Oleg Cassini’s brother, Igor was married to Charlene Wrightsman Cassini, the daughter of the Charles B. Wrightman who was the neighbor of Hollywood Kingpin Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. (RFK and JFK’s father).
It was Bobby Kennedy Sr. (RFK Jr.’s father) who indicted Igor Cassini.
We now understand that Del has links to Hollywood and direct links to the
If we understand psychological warfare, then we also understand that Hollywood is often used in propaganda operations. I might even go as far as suggesting that Hollywood is the propaganda arm of the United States Military.
The main goal of the Del Bigtree operation is to catch the first layer of regular folks who fall through the holes of the mainstream media’s fraudulent COVID narrative net. These are folks who haven’t researched much, still believe COVID is caused by a virus, but may be hesitant about the new experimental vaccines. Some of them might be distrustful of Government and wary of vaccine mandates. They generally believe that most vaccines are probably safe and effective, you may find some who are just now starting to be skeptical of all vaccines. Many of these people became skeptics specifically due to Del’s Vaxxed movie. This has been carefully planned for years, as we will come to see.
The fake anti-vaccine opposition strategy aims to harness all of these people, soften their opposition voice, and steer them into a well-crafted and carefully manufactured faux movement that will never get “too extreme.” Ultimately, this is controlled by Big Pharma, the banking cartel and various 3-letter agencies who understand that in order to achieve their objectives, they must have full control over the opposition voice. They cannot risk these folks being “radicalized” by those of us who have actually done the research and understand this psyop in detail, and they definitely cannot risk these folks wandering off to research for themselves.
In order to do this, they must first construct a new pen to herd the sheep into. This pen is carefully constructed with artificial boundaries that are created specifically to draw the limits as to what is and is not and acceptable level of dissent. If they don’t do this, then they run the risk of the public and start asking deeper questions about viruses and vaccines while redrawing the boundaries of a new box to keep them inside of.
What is imperative to understand is that this pen is where they want everyone to end up in, from the beginning. In order to do that, they must construct the cartoonish Fauci/Gates/Pfizer evil empire and then reveal it as such, gradually so that over time, more people will gravitate towards the pen that they want everyone in, because it looks safer than the mainstream’s pen. It’s a bait and switch. An illusion.
The powers that be cannot have these fence-sitters digging any further and they cannot afford to have the public learn the truth about Polio, HIV, Smallpox, Spanish Flu, Ebola, etc. So they simply create this new pen and dress it up as the “extreme opposition conspiracy voice,” knowing full well that reasonable skeptics won’t see it as such and gravitate towards it. Over time, they’ll deliberately reveal the evil corruption so that any normies that decide to abandon the first pen will immediately end up in second one.
In order for this strategy to succeed, they need sheepherders, or leaders. False prophets. Del Bigtree plays the role of one of these sheepherders. His job is to collect the sheep that have left the first pen, as well as the others who are still grazing freely in the open field, and gather them all up into the new fake opposition pen. Del was hired for this role years ago, with the Vaxxed project. In this new pen, the acceptable narrative is painted for them and their opinions are slowly molded and shaped into exactly what the overlords want. The narrative will be exactly the same as the mainstream’s narrative with a dash of hesitancy or skepticism about vaccines and a call to make sure that they are “safer” (less dangerous).
This is a classic example of a limited hangout operation, where a little bit of the truth is revealed (vaccines are dangerous), only to then cover it up with more lies (we can make them safer) and misdirects.
Most people believe that Del Bigtree is a man of strong integrity who is “fighting against corruption”. I can assure you, this is not the case. By the time you reach the end of this document and explore some more of Greg’s research, you will come to understand that Del Bigtree, like many others before him, is just another fraud in a long line of clever con-men. In order to open our minds to this hypothesis, let’s take a look at Del’s career.
Del’s Showbiz Career and Some Very Lucrative Moves
Del directed Partners in 2003. This film is a soft porn video short film starring Del’s wife Lee Nestor. The story involves one woman lying in bed while another woman sexually pleasures her under the covers. It seems that many now involved in the safer VaxXed movement directly or indirectly were involved in questionable professions in typical Hollywood style…
Del was the executive producer and director of Bitter Sweet in 2005. In 2007 he co-produced and co-directed with his wife Lee Nestor, Sex and Sensuality, another sexually charged production(16). Lee’s mother, Peggy Nestor, was also co-producer. The movie stars Lee Nestor as Gabrielle Marks as she undresses and bathes while describing a dirty little secret(7).
The Doctors, a successful pro pharmaceutical talk show created by Phil
McGraw (aka Dr. Phil), has over 1,125 episodes and was first aired on
Del then got involved in Vaxxed: From Coverup to Catastrophe, when the movie was over 80% complete. The original content was to belong to an Andrew Wakefielddocumentary. Andrew Wakefield started touring, by himself, in 2015 to raise monies for Thompson’s legal defense fund. That is when Wakefield met Del Bigtree through Larry Cook, an early monitizer of vaccine injury stories who got Bigtrees attention. Through a series of secret meetings the plan was hatched. Exploit and monetize the vaccine injured and create the first stage of a never ending revenue stream off exploitation of the vaccine injured and dead Similar to the Alex Sporticus exploitation piece that Polly Tommey and her Autism Media Channel had turned into a movie almost a decade earlier.
In early 2016, Del Bigtree added to the script with California’s Senate Bill 277h rally footage and interviews with self-proclaimed whistleblower Brandy Vaughan. By March 2016, after Bigtree had finished adding his content and edits – the film was released.
Once the movie was out and in circulation in various theaters across the U.S., Del decided that he should be doing the movie roll-outs and post movie question and answer sessions. Del had forced Andrew out by November of 2016 and lawsuits followed as Bigtree was to on tour for several months with the crew and he refused to leave seeing bigger paydays in the months/years to come.
When Del took over the Vaxxed movie, he was paid $15,000 a month. And now? Del now makes $500,000+ a year. A very lucrative career change from being a producer on Dr. Phil.
…
So this leads to the question. Who is Del Bigtree and what are his motivations?
Well, Del makes a lot more than that, now. But this is useful to give us an idea of his career moves. Another thing worth noting is that Del seems to have a lot of Hollywood / Masonic energy around him. For example, he’s always wearing purple.
Purple is a known Masonic Color. You can see it displayed prominently as one of the main colors in the Master Mason’s Lodge and for the Chapter of Royal Arch Companions, these two Masonic bodies being indissolubly connected since the Royal Arch is an essential and component part of the present-day mutilated Master Mason’s degree.
For this reason purple is adopted as the proper color for the Mark, the Past, and the Most Excellent Master degrees, to symbolize the fact that those degrees connect the Master Mason’s degree with the Royal Arch.
When Del Bigtree poses for an official photoshoot next to a Masonic / Illuminati black and white checkered floor, wearing purple socks, he is telling you straight away who he really works for … the only question is – will you notice?
Here’s Del with fellow grifter and deceiver, RashidButtar, another COVID con man and controlled opposition agent.
We can see Del wearing lavender or purple more often than not.
Another thing worth notice is that Del smokes a LOT of weed. Just look at his eyes, in this photo and you’ll see it clearly. Perhaps that’s why he chose the Bigtree last name and the Highwire as the name of his show. Of course I would never judge anyone for smoking marijuana. Smoke it up! But is this really who we want leading the so-called anti-vaccine movement? For me, I’d prefer someone dedicated and focused, not someone who is hitting big trees all day.
PART 3 – THE BIG MONEY BEHIND THE BIG TREE
One way to hijack legitimate grassroots movements is through sleazy billionaire philanthropists and charity fraud schemes.
“By providing the funding and the policy framework to many concerned and dedicated people working within the non-profit sector, the ruling class is able to co-opt leadership from grassroots communities, … and is able to make the funding, accounting, and evaluation components of the work so time consuming and onerous that social justice work is virtually impossible under these conditions” -Paul Kivel (You Call this a Democracy? Who Benefits, who Pays and who Really
Decides?)
Meet Bernard and Lisa Selz
This New York Couple Has Donated Millions to Museums — And the Anti-Vax Movement
Bernard and Lisa Selz have contributed more than $3 million in recent years to the anti-vax movement. They’ve also given millions to institutions like the Frick Collection, the Brooklyn Museum, the Dallas Art Museum, and the World Monuments Fund.
.
What connects the Brooklyn Museum and other art institutions to the ongoing measles outbreak, which has surged to its highest point in nearly three decades with more than 1,000 documented cases this year? A name.
An investigation by the Washington Post claims that Lisa and Bernard Selz have contributed more than $3 million in recent years to organizations that [“]empower[“] the anti-vaccine movement through online and live events. The couple is also a fixture of the art philanthropy circuit. Bernard Selz is currently a trustee for the Frick Collection; previously, he served on the Walters Art Museum’s board from 2011–2017. At the Brooklyn Museum, an endowed senior curatorial position in Asian art is named after the couple and is currently held by the art historian Joan Cummins. Columbia University has a professorship for Medieval art under the couple’s name, which is currently held by Stephen Murray. This is the second position at the university endowed by the Selzes. In 2002, Esther Pasztory became the Lisa and Bernard Selz Professor in Pre-Columbian Art.
According to the publication Inside Philanthropy, the Selzes have given substantial donations through their foundation to cultural institutions including the Dallas Museum of Art, the National Museum of the American Indian, the Penn Museum of Archeology and Anthropology, the American Classical Orchestra, the Jacob Burns Film Center, and Montana’s Livingston Center for Art and Culture.
Public records also indicate that the family gave over $4.75 million to the World Monuments Fund since 2003, an organization dedicated to the preservation of historic architecture and cultural heritage sites. Bernard Selz currently sits on that organization’s board of trustees; he is also on the director’s council of New York University’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World.
Alongside their financial support for the arts community, the Selzes have used their wealth to bolster a handful of determined individuals who have played an outsized role in disseminating misinformation about vaccines and the diseases they prevent.
The epicenter of the measles outbreak is only miles away from the Brooklyn Museum in the
Hasidic-Jewish neighborhood of Williamsburg. There, the chief executive of the Informed
Consent Action Network (ICAN) has headlined forums advocating against vaccinations. The
Selz Foundation has provided the organization with roughly three-fourths of its funding, and Lisa Selz serves as the group’s president. The public face of ICAN, however, is Del Bigtree, a former daytime television show producer. (Source)
There is nothing grassroots or “We the People” about any of these folks. They hijacked and co-opted any real anti-vaccine movement a long time ago. They are 100% big money, establishment elites.
Bernard Selz founded Selz Capital in November 2003. The firm is headquartered in New York City. It has approximately $750 million from 24 high net worth clients under management.
These are the people who bankroll Del Bigtree. They are his bosses.
‘The Selz Foundation’ gave ‘AUTISM MEDIA CHANNEL FOUNDATION’ a $575,000 grant and ‘INFORMED CONSENT ACTION NETWORK’ a $100,000 grant while Selz Capital LLC upped its position in Gilead Sciences Inc.(NASDAQ:GILD) which has exclusive rights to Hookipa’s
HOOKIPA Pharma Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a new class of immunotherapeutics targeting infectious diseases and cancers based on a proprietary arenavirusplatform that is designed to reprogram the body’s immune system. (Source)
They use the word immunotherapeutics here to hide what it actually is. It’s a vaccine.

In this 2019 interview, Del was asked directly if he had a major source of funding and he said no. So, why wouldn’t he disclose this?
In 2012, the Selz Foundation gave a $200,000 gift to Andrew Wakefield.
Remember, it was Wakefield who joined forces with Del Bigtree on Vaxxed. Wakefield was pushing to break up the MMR vaccine, which sounds like a good thing, but the problem is that he had a patent for another vaccine to treat autism waiting in the wings, which he did not publicly disclose. You can read about that here, and view the patent for yourself here.
The Selzes later donated $1.6 million over several years to two organizations founded by Wakefield.
The Selz Foundation contributed $1.05 million to Del Bigtree’s Informed Consent
Action Network in 2017. The foundation contributed $100,000 to the group in 2016: (Source)
Yes, Andrew Wakefield, the Doctor who was “exposing” the link between the MMR Vaccine and Autism (and Del’s business partner on the Vaxxed film) filed patents for ‘safer’ vaccines – to treat autism.
Because of the Selz Foundation’s support, ICAN founder Del Bigtree spent a few years traveling the country hosting events and setting up several creative grifting operations and multiple charity fraud schemes (more on this later). He has also been used as a mouthpiece to help lobby lawmakers in order to further the group’s pro-vaccine agenda.
Lisa Selz was the president of ICAN in 2017 and 2018 before Scott Guidry became President in 2019. Pro-vaccine author JB Handley of “Ending the Autism Epidemic” was the secretary.
Bernard Selz is an American fund manager and “philanthropist” and works at Lazard. Lazard Ltd (formerly known as Lazard Frères & Co.) is a financial advisory and asset management firm that engages in investment banking, asset management and other financial services, primarily with institutional clients. It is the world’s largest independent investment bank, with principal executive offices in New York City, Paris and London.
Lazard also employs Nathaniel Rothschild, Bruce Wassterstein and Gerald Rosenfeld and other big banking vultures. Naturally they are heavily invested in Big Pharma giants like Pfizer, Novartis and others.
Gerald Rosenfeldis an American businessman, academic, and investment banker.[1] He is well known as the former Head of Investment Banking of Lazard[2] and as the former CEO of Rothschild North-America from 2000 to 2007.[3][4] He is currently an Adjunct Professor of
Finance at New York University Stern School of Business, teaching in their Executive Education
Open Enrollment program, Integrated Law and Business Financial Risk Management. Until February 2011, Rosenfeld continued to work at Rothschild in the capacity of senior advisor. In 2011, he returned to Lazard as a senior executive.
Bruce Jay Wassersteinwas an American investment banker, businessman, and writer. He was a graduate of the McBurney School,[2] University of Michigan, Harvard Business School, and Harvard Law School, and spent a year at the University of Cambridge. He was prominent in the mergers and acquisitions industry, credited with working on 1,000 transactions with a total value of approximately $250 billion.
Nathaniel Philip Victor James Rothschildis a British-born financier who settled in Switzerland, and a member of the Rothschild family. He is the chairman of Volex plc, a UK-listed manufacturer. He has a wide range of international business interests.
Do you trust these people to lead the “safer” vaccine movement? I don’t.
Some might say that I’m making connections where there are none. That’s not my intent. My intent is simply to show you who Bernard Selz is, who he works with and who he works for…
From 2000-2010 Lazard was Pfizer’s favorite financial adviser. A list of Lazard’s assignments for Pfizer–courtesy of Standard & Poor’s database CapitalIQ – includes advising the pharmaceutical giant on a raft of deals, including the $195 million acquisition of Encysive Pharmaceuticals last year, the $220.6 million acquisition of Coley Pharmaceutical Group in 2007; the $1.9 billion acquisition of Vicuron Pharmaceuticals in 2005; the acquisition of Idun Pharmaceuticals in 2005; a $500 million stake in Rinat Neuroscience in 2006; the world-wide rights to Sanofi-Aventis’s insulin drug Exubera for $1.3 billion that same year; and eight other deals since 2000.
In more recent years, Lazard has been conspicuously absent from Pfizer deals. I speculate that this is a deliberate attempt to distance themselves to keep up public appearances.
“ICAN was established with a $100,000 grant from the Selz Foundation. Its budget ballooned to $1.4 million in 2017, with one million coming from the Selz Foundation, making ICAN the most well-funded anti-vaccination group in the United States that year.[16] In 2019, ICAN received
$2.46 million from the charitable foundation of investment firm T. Rowe Price.[17]”
Among the top 10 holdings in their Health Services Fund, we find Thermo Fisher Scientific (who makes fraudulent sequencing machines) and AstraZaneca. By looking at their financials we can see that T. Rowe Price is also heavily invested in many pharmaceutical and biotech companies including Merck, BioNTech, Amgen, and many others.
So, let’s ask a reasonable question. Why would a giant Global investment firm that is heavily invested in huge pharmaceutical companies, donate $2.46 million dollars to fund an anti-vaccine group?
Bigtree lovers will say that the donations that T. Rowe Price gave to ICAN were given by their donor advised charitable fund. Yes, that’s true. The amounts were $2.5 million in 2019 and $900,000 in 2018. Of course they have to disguise their money laundering via charity fraud. I doubt there’s a way to trace the paper trail back to each individual donor. But let’s just ask a simple question. Why would an investment fund donate that much money to a so-called anti-vax non-profit? Are they expecting a return on their investment? If this is all truly a matter of altruistic and humanitarian giving to the community, then why would they choose an “anti-vax” group? Are we to believe that all these individual donors are crazy anti-vaxxers? To me, it just sounds like classic money laundering.
We know that none of these folks are actually anti-vaccine or against Big
Pharma. That’s an illusion. They serve Big Pharma’s interests, indirectly. If Bernard Selz was really funding a dangerous anti-vax group, why would Lazard keep him employed?
These people are silencing the real anti-vaccine movement and the voices of parents with real vaccine injured children, parents like Greg Wyatt. Their “middle of the road” approach is designed to push real anti-vaxxers out of the discussion all together, label those people as crazy and then hijack the opposition and setup elaborate schemes to eventually profit.
These groups are heavily invested in the manufacturing of vaccines – and the mainstream media calls them anti-vaxxers! The entire thing is a demonstrable scam.
Notice how WikiPedia and the mainstream media labels the Selz Foundation as an anti-vax group. The liars at the Business Insidersay that the Selz Foundation is “donating millions to the anti-vax movement.” How silly is that? They are trying to frame these pro-vaccine advocates as anti-vaxxers!
These are obvious lies, as I’ve shown. The not so obvious lies are that the Selzes, the Bigtrees, the RFKs are all pro-vaccine. They all stand to PROFIT from the manufacturing of NEW, AND SAFER VACCINES.
Disagree? Then why did they pair up with WakefIeld, and fund him? Do you think they didn’t know anything about his patent for a new “safer” MMR vaccine? Of course they did.
But those who have done their homework understand that there is no such thing as a safe vaccine.
Question – What is the opposite of the word Safe? Answer – Dangerous
So, by definition – something that is “safer” means that it is less dangerous.
But it’s still dangerous, and these people understand this. They aren’t truly anti-vaccine, because they have a lot of money to make off of the sale of “less dangerous” vaccines. You can understand their agenda by taking them at their word – Their job is to make sure that the vaccines (mandatory or not) are less dangerous.
Now you’re probably thinking that I haven’t exposed much here, which is true. This is all public record and nothing new. Most of this information has been floating around the internet for well over a year, I just compiled it and added some of my own research. But we’re just getting started and there’s oh, so much more. For now, I will leave you with one simple question.
Is there anyone in the anti-vaccine movement who is actually anti-vaccine?
PART 4: THE FARCICAL FALLACY OF SAFE VACCINES
There must be hundreds of thousands of parents in America and indeed all over the world whose children have been injured by vaccines. We have no way of knowing the real numbers. But many of these parents have done deep research on the subject. When I say deep research, I mean they’ve studied the issue extensively, have read dozens of books and papers on the subject and understand the issue far better than RFK Jr. or Del Bigtree. Once you reach a point where YOU have done more research than these men, then it becomes much easier to see that they are either grossly uninformed or they are lying.
Once we dedicate the time, we come to understand that there is no such thing as a safe vaccine. Period. If you disagree, then this paper isn’t for you, you still have a lot morE research to do. When we understand that these diseases for which vaccines are prescribed to prevent are not caused by viruses, then we also understand that the entire concept of a vaccine is fraudulent.
“We are not anti-vaccine. We are pro vaccine safety. It’s time to bring scientific integrity to our nation’s vaccine program.” – RFK Jr.
On July 9, 2018 – Del Bigtree / ICAN filed this lawsuit, co-authored by RFK Jr. against the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Note that the title of the lawsuit is “Mandate for safer childhood vaccines.”
Think about the wording of that sentence and what their real goals are. As stated clearly in the lawsuit, they want to:
(1) promote the development of childhood vaccines that result in fewer and less serious adverse reactions than those vaccines on the market on December 22, 1987, and promote the refinement of such vaccines, and
There you have it. They are interested in promoting the development of childhood vaccines. As long as vaccines have fewer and less serious adverse reactions, then these people are perfectly fine with pumping children full of them.
The problem is that this entire lawsuit is based on a false premise. It’s impossible to make vaccines safe. The best one can do is make them less dangerous.
Is that good enough for you or your children?
These people are only pretending to fight for us. They’re not anti-vaccine as they’ve said over and over and over again. They are very much rabidly and fiercely pro-vaccine. It’s up to you to decide if you think this is just because they haven’t done the research, or if there’s something more nefarious going on here.
If you want to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume noble intentions, that’s fine with me. But if that’s the case, it means that they are ignorant, and therefore are in no position to be leading any health freedom movement as it relates to vaccines. Every parent in the country who understands that there is no such thing as a safe vaccine is more qualified to be in these leadership positions than RFK Jr. and Del Bigtree. When we look at the second goal of their lawsuit, their real agenda starts to become clearer.
(2) make or assure improvements in, and otherwise use the authorities of the Secretary with respect to, the licensing, manufacturing, processing, testing, labeling, warning, use instructions, distribution, storage, administration, field surveillance, adverse reaction reporting, and recall of reactogenic lots or batches, of vaccines and research on vaccines, in order to reduce the risks of adverse reactions to vaccines.
This is a thinly veiled attempt to hide what they really want which is more oversight, more regulatory agencies, more control, etc.
THEY WANT MORE GOVERNMENT.
Folks who haven’t spent the ample time doing the exhaustive research required to understand the vaccine issue comprehensively will naturally assume that this is reasonable. Why shouldn’t we have more oversight of these Big Pharma giants?
Because governments don’t really regulate the Pharma companies, that’s why. They work together, against the people. They just call it “regulation” so your dumb liberal friends will support it.
Thanks in part to the efforts of Controlled Oppositionfront NVIC and pro-vaccine deception agent Barbara Loe Fisher, the National ChildhoodVaccine Injury Act was passed in 1986 specifically to grant the Big Pharma companies immunity from lawsuits. After the passage of the 1986 Act, victims of Pharma’s poisonous elixirs could no longer sue the vaccine companies. The 1986 Act allowed the Big Pharma demons to continue doing business and manufacturing their toxic potions of death without any fear of being held financially liable.
As we can read:
(b) UNAVOIDABLE ADVERSE SIDE EFFECTS; WARNINGS.— (1) No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death associated with the administration of a vaccine after the effective date of this part 23 if the injury or death resulted from side effects that were unavoidable even though the vaccine was properly prepared and was accompanied by proper directions and warnings.
From the Supreme Court (2011):
And most relevant to the present case, the Act expressly eliminates liability for a vaccine’s unavoidable, adverse side effects: “No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death associated with the administration of a vaccine after October 1, 1988, if the injury or death resulted from side effects that were unavoidable even though the vaccine was properly prepared and was accompanied by proper directions and warnings.
So, it’s not just crazy anti-vaxxers who say that all vaccines are dangerous.
Both Congress and the Supreme Court have agreed that this is the case.
Now that we’ve established this irrefutable fact, we have arrived at a very important question.
How is it possible to make vaccines safe, when it’s already been officially ruled that they are “unavoidably unsafe” by both Congress and the Supreme Court?
The answer – It’s not, it’s impossible.
“US Law regards vaccines as unavoidably unsafe, which basically means that there is nothing that can be done to make the product safer without compromising the function of the product. The term comes from the legal document, “Restatement (Second) of Torts, Section 402A”
It’s there in black and white, for all to see. Nothing can be done to make the product safer. Do you think RFK Jr. and Del Bigtree don’t understand this? Do you think they’re stupid? I don’t, I think they know exactly what they’re doing. They know that they can’t make vaccines safe, so they are engaging in deception and theater, to protect Big Pharma.
What they should be doing is warning the entire world about how dangerous vaccines really are. Not just these ones or those ones, but ALL OF THEM. Shouldn’t that be their number one objective? Instead, we get useless lawsuits, half-truths and a years long faux resistance movement, demanding more regulation and smarty pants scientists to conduct more “safety studies.” Remember that the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act was designed specifically to protect the pharmaceutical industry from lawsuits resulting from vaccine related injuries and deaths. Congress concluded that the vaccine companies should be shielded from lawsuits because vaccines are “unavoidably unsafe.”
As a result of this law, the vaccine companies were “granted blanket legal immunity and impunity from all injuries and deaths resulting from vaccines in the United States.” (Source)
Given this undeniable fact, shouldn’t one of the goals of the so-called
“anti-vaccine” movement be to overturn the 1986 Act which protects the vaccine companies? Shouldn’t that be one of their main objectives?
As far as I’m concerned, if vaccines are unavoidably unsafe, then children (and adults) should never be mandated to take them for school or anything else and the public should be working hard to ban them completely or at the very least, repeal the 1986 Act so that the companies are held liable.
But that’s not what Del Bigtree cares about. He just wants to make them safer, which, as we’ve established, is impossible.
So, let’s go back to ICAN’s lawsuit and read some more.
In order to assure HHS meets its vaccine safety obligations, Congress required as part of the 1986 Act that the Secretary of HHS submit a biennial reports to Congress detailing the improvements in vaccine safety made by HHS in the preceding two years. ICAN therefore filed a Freedom of Information Act, FOIA, request on August 25th, 2017 to HHS seeking copies of the biennial reports that HHS was supposed to submit to Congress, starting in 1988, detailing the improvements it made every two years to vaccine safety. HHS stonewalled ICAN for eight months refusing to provide any substantive response to this request.
Once again, we can see clearly that Del Bigtree has no interest in repealing the 1986 Act or abolishing vaccines entirely. All he’s doing is filing mostly useless lawsuit and FOIA requests for reports detailing the improvements in vaccine safety. ICAN, RFK Jr. and Del Bigtree aren’t attempting to get to the root of the problem, all they’re doing is trimming around the edges of the bush.
I don’t know about you, but personally I don’t care about reports. Reports can be completely fabricated. Data can be hidden, statistics can be fudged and documentation can be completely fraudulent. Reports are meaningless. I want results. So far, the only results I’ve seen from Del Bigtree’s efforts are more vaccines.
ICAN was therefore forced to file a lawsuit to force HHS to either provide copies of its biennial vaccine safety reports to Congress or admit it never filed these reports. The result of the lawsuit is that HHS had to finally and shockingly admit that it never, not even once, submitted a single biennial report to Congress detailing the improvements in vaccine safety.
That’s it? That was the result of the lawsuit? I wonder how much money they spent and all we have to show for it is that HHS admitted a thing. Did anyone go to jail? Did anyone get fired? Was anyone forced to pay any fines or resign from their positions? No, they just admitted that they didn’t file the reports, and that’s it. Meanwhile, the vaccine manufacturing machine continued to push forward.
Next, let’s look at this letter that Del Bigtree sentto HHS in 2017. The first thing to notice is that this document is no longer available on ICAN’s website. They used to display it proudly and prominently but now it’s a “page not found.” I had to go to the archives to find it. Why do you think they no longer host it on their website? Are they trying to hide something? Well, let’s take a look. In this letter, dated October 12, 2017, we can read the following:
Americans, including the over 55 organizations listed below, whose members exceed 5 million
Americans, are concerned about vaccine safety. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (the 1986 Act) made nearly every aspect of vaccine safety the exclusive responsibility of the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS). As the Secretary of HHS (the Secretary), this means you shoulder virtually all responsibility for assuring the safety of vaccines administered to America’s 78 million children.
Notice right away, the same propaganda techniques used by these agents of deception, as they immediately frame the conversation around vaccine safety, which is a misnomer. I encourage you to read the entire letter, but I will outline a few highlights from the conclusion section of the letter.
HHS can do better. With hundreds of vaccines in the pipeline it must do better.
Ahh yes, exactly what we need. More/better government. Del Bigtree isn’t concerned about stopping the hundreds of dangerous vaccines in the pipeline, he’s only concerned with making sure that they’re safe, which as we’ve already established, is impossible.
Children susceptible to vaccine injury are as deserving of protection as any other child.
Isn’t that amazing? This con-man admits to the world that children are susceptible to vaccine injury and then with a straight face wants to sell us the illusion that they can and should be protected by the same people who were responsible for their injuries in the first place.
In other words, it’s not just Big Pharma who is to blame. It’s also Congress who passed the legislation to protect them, and the FDA and HHS who have failed to ensure safety for all these years.
So, Del’s solution is to write a letter to HHS demanding that they participate in “protecting” the children who are “susceptible to vaccine injuries” – thanks to their criminal negligence, incompetence and cozy backdoor dealings with Big Pharma. More on this in a moment.
Avoiding injury to these children is not only a moral and ethical duty, but will in fact strengthen the vaccine program.
There it is. Bold, isn’t it? As we can see again, none of these sharks have any interest whatsoever in taking down Big Pharma or educating the public about the real dangers of vaccines. They want to strengthen the vaccine program. Those are Del Bigtree’s words, in his letter to HHS. If he was truly serious about avoiding injury, then he would demand an immediate halt to all vaccine programs.
Every parent that does not witness their child suffer a serious reaction after vaccination, such as a seizure or paralysis, is another parent that will not add their voice to the growing chorus of parents opposed to HHS’s vaccine program due to safety concerns.
You see? Del doesn’t want to educate us. He doesn’t want the public to learn that so-called “viral diseases” like Polio and Smallpox aren’t caused by viruses, which is why he rarely, if ever talks about these subjects. He has to protect his employers. If he lifted the veil then they would be out of business in no time.
He doesn’t tell his audience which books to read, he controls the narrative to a very specific set of talking points. This is why he uses these limiting phrases when he makes these statements – in this example, the limiting phrase is “due to safety concerns.”
This one phrase limits the conversation and keeps it held tightly, inside a box.
Another limiting phrase and deception can be found in the phrase “parents opposed to HHS’s vaccine program.” This limiting phrase creates the illusion that most parents aren’t opposed to vaccines, they’re only opposed to the program.
Vaccines are generally good! They save lives! Parents are just opposed to HHS’s program. If we can make changes and improvements to the program, then everything will be fine!
So, anyone who knows how to think ahead can see clearly what would naturally come next, right? They’d present their solution to the “dangerous vaccines” in the form of new oversight agencies, and big government/Pharma deals, disguised as “regulation.” We already know that this will happen, because it’s exactly what happened last time when they passed the 1986 Act.
Unless HHS performs its vital statutory obligations regarding vaccine safety, and until a frank conversation is possible regarding vaccine safety, children susceptible to vaccine injury will not be protected from such injuries.
Regardless of what HSS’s “statutory obligations” might be, we know that there is nothing they can do to make vaccines safer. So Del can request as many “frank conversations” as he likes but smart people know that even a thousand “frank conversations” won’t protect children from vaccine injuries.
In other words, Del is calling on HHS – one of the corrupt government agencies directly responsible for vaccine injuries, to solve the problem, and to protect our children! Ha!
Maybe we should give more power to the EPA to protect the environment while we’re at it, as well.
So when will HHS perform these “vital statutory obligations” regarding vaccine safety? How many years of Del Bigtree’s “soft-serve” activism have gone by without a single, tangible result? He’s certainly been busy writing lots of letters, filing useless lawsuits and having “frank conversations.” What has Del Bigtree accomplished in all of these years? What do we have to show for his efforts?
MORE VACCINES!
This guy is collecting millions of dollars from people all over the country to write letters. How many more years will we allow these false prophets to lead us in their never-ending fight for “safer vaccines?” Empty promises from fake, pro-vaccine shapeshifters.
Nor will children injured by vaccines be able to access the services they need.
Can you believe the lack of self-awareness it took to write this sentence?
Why would any reasonable parent want to go to the same people responsible for their child’s injury for “services?” What would be the purpose of that? So they can injure them again?
If Del Bigtree was a real leader with real integrity, then he would demand that we stop giving any and all vaccines to every single child across America, immediately. If we did that, then we wouldn’t need their worthless government “services,” because there would be no more injuries.
If you thought that last sentence was outrageous…
We can do far better in protecting and serving children who are susceptible or succumb to serious injuries from vaccination. The first step in avoiding these harms and helping children already harmed is admitting there are deficiencies and working diligently to improve vaccine safety.
Oh yes, we can do far better.
Once again, if you really want to protect children from something dangerous, isn’t the best solution to keep them as far away from the danger as possible? Del Bigtree and RFK Jr. want us to believe that these problems are merely deficiencies that can be corrected with more legislation, regulation and government.
deficiency: a lack or shortage. a failing or shortcoming.
shortcoming:
a fault or failure to meet a certain standard, typically in a person’s character, a plan, or a system
So the problem isn’t that all vaccines are dangerous, you see. It’s just that they have shortcomings. The problem is that the system simply has deficiencies. If we can just improve upon those shortcomings, then the system will magically
start working for you … it will “do better.”
You can then feel safe and continue to rely on the system.
All we really need is some more benevolent scientists and politicians to help us fix the problem and make the vaccines “safer” (less dangerous).
Del thinks that’s the “first step in avoiding these harms.” I would suggest that the first step would be to stop injecting the children with poison.
If Del Bigtree was serious about protecting children, that’s the message would be sending to Americans. STOP TAKING VACCINES.
Instead, he hides the truth and continues to sell lies about viruses and safe vaccines, while inching us closer and closer to put our trust in their system. Del Bigtree can’t tell us the truth because that would result in his employers losing profits. So he has to sell us lies mixed with half-truths and serve us ice-cream instead.
Of course I can’t definitively or conclusively prove that Del Bigtree works for the enemy (yet). But we are still just scratching the surface, and as we uncover more of his story, the picture will become clearer for you. For now, I’ll just say that it’s my opinion. You are free to continue giving him the benefit of the doubt. I’m sure that many Bigtree apologists reading this are still thinking that he’s a man of integrity, fighting the good fight and he just “can’t go too far” or risk losing the battle.
Even if you want to ascribe honest and sincere intentions to Del Bigtree, he is still the perfect pawn and salesman to lead the so-called “anti-vaccine” movement. Because the powers that be aren’t stupid, they control both sides. That’s why you should always skip door numbers 1 and 2, and go straight to door number 3.
Regardless of whether Del is a willing participant in this gigantic scam or an innocent pawn who is simply ignorant and uninformed – he is still a cog in the wheel of the grand psycop, because he’s protecting the lie of viruses, the pseudoscience of virology and selling the delusional idea that there is such a thing as a safe vaccine. Either way, whether wittingly or unwittingly, he’s participating in the illusion.
Inside of that illusion, they’ve created a fake paradigm about “vaccine safety” and have directed the focus on this, instead of where the focus should be – the true cause of illnesses, the dangerous nature of all vaccines, and the fraud of virology.
We can see this tactic employed over and over and over again by the elites. They hijacked the anti-GMO movement and turned it into a fake clown-show called the “Label GMOs” movement. They convinced the public to accept a watered down version of the real issue. Instead of focusing on the fact that GMOs are dangerous and demand that we ban the use of GMOs, let’s just make sure that every company is responsible to label their products with their poison. That solves the problem! Same bullshit script, same psychological deception games, same assholes like Del Bigtree.
When we accept the truth that illnesses are not caused by viruses, then we also understand that vaccines are a scam. The cabal can’t have that. So they will create all sorts of illusions to keep that hidden from the public and deploy agents like Del Bigtree to keep these lies protected.
Once again, so there’s no confusion – In his letter to HHS, Section VIII, Del Bigtree discusses HHS’s conflicts of interest. Throughout the letter, he also discusses the problems with the regulatory agencies (FDA and CDC) and admits that HHS is the agency that licenses, promotes, defends, recommends and mandates vaccines. If you read the entire letter you will find Del Bigtree list numerous failures and examples of corruption within HHS, the FDA, and the
CDC.
So, who does Del Bigtree go to, to help solve these problems?
HHS! Del wants to protect the three little pigs from the wolf by asking the wolf to help him! What a god damn joke!
Yes, it’s true – both RFK Jr. and Del Bigtree say that they want regulatory agencies that have “unquestioned integrity” and are “free from conflicts of interest,” to make the unavoidably unsafe vaccines, safer. In order to do that, they sent a letter to HHS, the agency partially responsible for dangerous vaccines, asking for help.
Here’s the angel they wanted us to trust with our lives and our childrens’ lives…
Alex Azar
Alex Azar is an American politician, attorney, businessman, lobbyist, and former pharmaceutical executive who served as the United States Secretaryof Health and Human Servicesfrom 2018 to 2021. Azar was nominated to his post by President Donald Trumpon November 13, 2017, and confirmed by the United States Senate on January 24, 2018.
Azar was Eli Lily’s top lobbyist and spokesman, and its senior vice president of corporate affairs and communications.
In April 2009, Azar became vice president of Lilly’s U.S. Managed Healthcare Services organization and its Puerto Ricoaffiliate.[19]In 2009, the company paid $1.415 billion to settle criminal charges regarding its promotion of antipsychoticdrug Zyprexa (olanzapine) for off-label usesbetween 1999 and 2005.
Effective January 1, 2012, Azar became president of Lilly USA, LLC, the largest division of Eli Lilly and Company, and was responsible for the company’s entire operations in the United States.[19]
Prices for drugs rose substantially under Azar’s leadership, including the tripling of the cost of the company’s top-selling insulindrug. Also under Azar’s watch, Eli Lilly was one of three companies accused in a class-action lawsuit of exploiting the drug pricing system to increase profits for insulin. Eli Lilly was also fined in Mexico for colluding on the price of insulin.[20][21]In connection with the position, Azar served on the board of directors of the Biotechnology Innovation Organization, a pharmaceutical lobby.[22]
In January, 2017, Azar resigned from Eli Lily and made $2 million on his way out. In typical revolving door fashion, he was then named Secretery of HHS by Presdient Trump in November, 2017.
This is the man who is responsible for “regulating” the pharmaceutical industry and insuring the “safety” of vaccines. That’s his job.
In 2018, Alex Azar accepted RFK and Del BigTree’s legal Notice for enforcing “mandates for safer childhood vaccines” and for ensuring “vaccine safety,” an impossible task, as I’ve outlined above.
So they claim they want “good science” and regulatory agencies free of conflicts of interest, and this is the guy they reach out to for help? Is Alex Azar free from conflicts of interest?
While he was working at Eli Lilly,
Azar oversaw the sale of some of the company’s most profitable and controversialproducts. These include: recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), which Lilly bought from Monsanto and which increase the risk of developing breast and gastrointestinal cancers’ Thimerosal, a mercury-containing vaccine preservative linked to neurodevelopmental problems in infants and children; and Prozac, a highly profitable drugs used to treat depression that was later found to actually do nothing more than a placebo to decrease most forms of depression but instead increased suicidal tendencies.
This is the man that was tasked with “assuring the safety, effectiveness, quality, and security of pharmaceutical products manufactured and sold in the U.S, including the “safety” of vaccines.”
This is the guy that Del Bigtree thought would help solve the “safety” problem, back in 2017/2018.
Eli Lilly is the inventor and was the primary manufacturer of thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative used in vaccines that is linked to autism and other neurological disorders. Prior to employment at Eli Lilly, under George W. Bush, Azar was general counsel and later deputy secretary of HHS at the time the decision was made to give an expedited efficacy and safety review to Gardasil, a vaccine for human papilloma virus produced by Merck that has enormous safety issues.”
As general counsel (head attorney) for HHS, Azar participated in the Autism Omnibus Proceeding that denied more than 5000 claims of vaccine injury, even though HHS settled one of the test cases that found that Hannah Poling’s autism was indeed caused by vaccine injury.”
Does Alex Azar sound like a man of integrity to you? In other words, Del Bigtree wants to hire the fox to guard the hen house. This is the best we can do in our fight against Big Pharma. A Big Pharma loyalist and vaccine demon.
Thankfully, Alex Azar is no longer at HHS, but the point is that during his tenure in 2017/2018, this is the person that RFK Jr. and Del Bigtree entrusted to “protect children” and provide safety reports, improve vaccine “safety,” promote the development of childhood vaccines and strengthen the vaccine program.
I hope you can see that this is nothing but a massive dog and pony show and Del Bigtree is a direct and active participant in this charade.

I am a one man operation that has been trying to filter through all the “New Aged” worldwide propaganda preached to the truth community / freedom fighters through fake “truth gurus/mentors”, so that i can bring you the “actual” truth. I have been doing this since 2016 and went mainstream in 2018. These “wolves in sheeps clothing” are “planted” within the community as “Gatekeepers” to, sow division, utilize delay/deflect tactics misinform and mislead the “free-thinkers” or anyone that opposes the “Occultist Hidden Hand” or “Shadow Government” , straight to the slaughterhouse.
I would like to say thanks to all the fellow “watchmen”, “Shill Hunters” and “Genuine truthers/researchers/free thinkers” working tirelessly around the clock out there, putting yourself in the trenches, laying it all on the line by sounding the alarm over the last several years, sacrifices have been made, reputations tarnished, online friends and family members have been lost and lots more put on the back burner.
