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 ? ๐
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 ๐ 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 ๐
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 ๐
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 ๐ 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 ๐
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 toโMy Lordโ. The letter was sent by his neighbour, the Reverend Dr Madden.
It contained an account of all of the Parsonsโ misdemeanours in his life
โwhoring, gaming, drinking, rioting, turning the day into night, blaspheming his maker, and in short, all manner of wickednessโ.
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 โFais ce que tu voudrasโ (โDo what thou wiltโ). One of the Dublin Club founders was Richard Parsons, 1st Earl of Rosse, and Grandmaster of the Freemasons of Dublin.

ร Ceallaigh is the most influential dynasty of the ancient tรบath of Uรญ 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 ร Ceallaigh (IPA [oหหcalฬชห iห]), 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.

Randal Plunkett the 21st Baron of Dunsany is a high level Irish noble and Freemason. Here he is posing with a chess board which uses the Freemasons’ black and white checkerboard pattern.
Baron Randal Plunkett doing the Illuminati pyramid with his hands with a leopard skin in the image. The leopard is a symbol used to represent Dionysus a Greek entity of ritual madness, wine (blood) drinking, and harvest (human sacrifice). Prince William is their Vicar of Dionysus.
Diarmuid Martin the Archbishop of Dublin is the top Roman Catholic authority in Ireland and he is covertly managed by the Colonna di Stigliano family. Diarmuid Martin is a member of the Hell Fire Club and child murdering cannibal
Princess Lucrezia Colonna di Stigliano is a cannibalistic and blood drinking child murderer. She gets intoxicated on the blood of children and goes into intentional psychosis as she mentally terrorizes people. 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: ฮผฯ ฯฯฮทฯฮนฮฟฮฝ, ฮฮฑฮฒฯ ฮปแฝผฮฝ แผก ฮผฮตฮณฮฌฮปฮท, แผก ฮผฮฎฯฮทฯ ฯแฟถฮฝ ฯฮฟฯฮฝแฟถฮฝ ฮบฮฑแฝถ ฯแฟถฮฝ ฮฒฮดฮตฮปฯ ฮณฮผฮฌฯฯฮฝ ฯแฟฯ ฮณแฟฯ; transliterated Mysteriลn, Babylลn hฤ megalฤ, hฤ mฤtฤr tลn pornลn kai tลn bdelygmatลn tฤs gฤs).
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 McAleeseโs 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. You are the real warriors of the so called “End Times”. The unsung Heroes.
Nobody said it was going to be easy. Keep On Fighting The Good Fight.

The plan is you will own nothing and be happy, thereโs 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 itโs gradually coming together.
I had no idea people could be so pathetic, it seems unreal, or like Iโm taking crazy pills. Maybe I was taking crazy pills.
I just emailed a link to my father, who doesnโt know why heโs been coughing for a month straight. He thinks itโs dust in the air or because itโs winter.
One of the theories going around is that theyโre 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 โthey made a mistakeโ 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, Iโm not even in the same country.

I donโt trust Del Bigtree because I believe he (and others) have co-opted the legitimate grassroots โanti-vaccineโ movement, and turned it into a more palatable and acceptable โSafer Vaccine Movementโ or the โVaccine Risk Awareness Movementโ, 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 isnโt 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 โ people who understand that thereโs 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 โacceptableโ debate about vaccines by labeling folks like Del and his buddy RFK Jr. as โanti-vax extremistsโ who are spreading โdangerous information,โ when in fact they are soft-serve activists who arenโt extreme at all โ 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 โextremists.โ But the real extremists are the mainstream science and media lovers who are 100% rabidly pro-vaccine, including the so-called new โexperimentalโ COVID19 vaccine.
Del and his cohorts are just as insane as these folks, with the exception that they want the vaccines to be โsaferโ. The opposite of the word โsafe,โ is โdangerous.โ So by making something โsafer,โ you are, by definition, really only making it โless dangerous.โ
What the majority of folks in the COVID truther scene donโt 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 sheepโs 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 โslow revealโ 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 โbrought to lightโ 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 โdangerous vaccine problemโ via the long and drawn out โslow reveal campaignโ – wait for the publicโs 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: โOMG! THE VACCINES ARE DANGEROUS! THEYโRE TRYING TO KILL US! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE SO THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN!
WHERE ARE OUR HEROES!??โ
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 mainstreamโs agenda. That is by design and that is why we see the Fauci/Gates/Pfizer clan exposed so thoroughly and more people โwaking upโ to the evil agenda. Theyโre not really waking up, though. The darkness is meant to be exposed, in order to lead them to the false light. Itโs 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 itโs 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 theyโve done their homework. The reason itโs a lie is because there is no such thing as a safe vaccine. If this sounds extreme to you, itโs because you have not yet started your journey of unlearning.
So, in order to drive this point home, itโs time to expose everyoneโs favorite โsafe vaccineโ 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 โgo toโ 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 Wyattโs research for all the information you need. I also recommend doing your own research, as well. Donโt just take my word for it or Gregโs 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 โtrutherโ 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 Gregโs 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 Iโve used to find more information.
PART 1
THE APPLE DOESNโT FALL FAR FROM THE BIG TREE
So first, letโs start with Delโs background and family history. The following italicized sections were written by Greg Wyatt with additional sources added by me. I followed Gregโs 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 1960โs 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 โTent Revivalโ preaching became popular in the 1960โs, Norma and Jack suddenly found a more lucrative career promoting God and ditched the theater for the tent. Itโs not clear why Del does not have his fatherโs last name.
Well, Delโs fatherโs last name isnโt actually Groverland, but weโll come back to that later.
So, with just a cursory check of Delโs family, weโve learned two important things. First, weโve learned that Delโs family has been involved in showmanship and acting. This is important for obvious reasons. It suggests that Del too is nothing but an actor. Weโll explore this later.
From Normaโs 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 โfull-blood Iroquois Indian born on the Onondaga Reservation.โ Normanโs race is listed as โIndianโ (same for his father, Mitchell) here. But the U.S. Census data from1940 lists Normanโs race as โWhite,โ and his Ethnicity as โAmerican.โ
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.
Normanโs father is Mitchell Bigtree, born in 1876.
Mitchellโs father is Philip Bigtree and his father is George Bigtree. Thatโs 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, Iโve 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).
Normanโs Great Grandmother on his motherโs side is Margaret Downie, born in England and died in Germany. So itโs clear that Norman canโt be full-blooded Iroquois Indian. The Indian is on his fatherโs side only.
It should also be noted that Doyle (Normanโs mother, Mitchellโs 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 thereโs no Native American roots from Normanโs motherโs 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 itโs 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?

Mildew Remover
If you are a perfectionist like ourselves, youโll find it difficult not to clean all the small crevices you simply canโt reach or canโt 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, thatโs 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 wonโt 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 donโt protect your vulnerable skin, youโll 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.
Eliminates Feet Odor
Wearing shoes all the time and doing straining activities can leave your feet smelling, well, not so nice, to say the least. Unpleasant foot odor is nothing to be embarrassed about or ashamed of. It happens to everyone, and the key is to find a perfect and easy solution.
Image courtesy of Little Things
What you should do to eliminate foot odor is simply soak your feet in water with baking soda. Since baking soda has the anti-microbial properties we talked about, it eliminates unwanted scents. If youโd like to go a step further, you could sprinkle a bit of baking soda into your shoes and let it sit overnight.
Cleaning Car Battery Terminals
Taking care of oneโs car is important. If you donโt pay close attention to details, you might find yourself more often than not ringing your mechanicโs number for another check-up or appointment. Believe it or not, baking soda can help in keeping your car clean and sound.
Image courtesy of UrsaHomma/Reddit
The build-up in your carโs battery can be nasty. Therefore, you should clean it regularly, and you can do so by creating a paste made out of baking soda and water mixed together. Carefully disconnect the battery and use a toothbrush with the liquid paste to reach all crevices and clean the battery meticulously.
Heartburn Reliever
If you suffer from anxiety or panic attacks, heartburn is no stranger to you. Itโs a very uncomfortable sensation that could only make the initial psychological trigger even worse. Worry no more, of course, because we have an answer to all your problems, and of course, all of them include baking soda!

Dry Shampoo Hack
For years weโve come to love using dry shampoos quickly before heading out to do errands, to go on a date or a meeting. They are convenient, smell nice, and soak up the oils from your scalp, making your hair look a day or two cleaner!Image Courtesy of Folder
If you donโt want to spend your money on expensive brands and consume products from the stores, you can always DIY your own dry shampoo. All you need is โ you guessed it โ baking soda. Sprinkle it lightly on your scalp and massage it. It should gather the oils and provide you with a presentable hairstyle!
Remove Unwanted Weeds
If youโre a control freak, even the innocent weeds that seep through your pavement or driveway may cause you some annoyance. There are sprays that could remove and kill the weeds. However, they are not the best ecological solution. There is a better one!

Since baking soda is not toxic, biodegradable, and good for the environment, itโs a perfect yet affordable solution for killing weeds. Sprinkle baking soda in the crevices of the pavement, and after a few days, you will notice them wilting away.
Clean Your Shower Curtain
As cleaning your bathroom is important, cleaning and sanitizing your shower curtain is vital as well! Different bacteria and mildew can form on the curtain, and you want to make sure itโs squeaky clean. If you donโt know what to use for sanitizing it, hear us out.

To remove dirt, stains, and accumulated mildew, all you need to do is scrub your shower curtain with baking soda and a damp brush, and voila! Youโll have a refreshed, squeaky clean shower curtain that matches your impeccable bathroom tiles.
Stop a Cooking Fire
Not everyone has access to a fire extinguisher. Letโs 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 itโs not a bad idea to have it on hand in case of any accidents.
Strip Paint with Baking Soda
Sometimes, we get bored of the same old design and colors and wish to change things up a bit. Even painting your table in a new and bold color can spruce up your house or apartment. However, stripping the old paint can be straining and stressful.
Image courtesy of heyugogirl/Reddit
If you donโt want to use harsh chemicals, all you need is to try scrapping with baking soda. Mix baking soda with hot water and apply it to the surface youโd like to scrape paint from. Then use a tool and start scraping the paint. Itโs non-toxic, safe, and easy. Good luck!
Vibrant Laundry
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.

Some pots and pans require more detailed cleaning, thatโs 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 wonโt prevent you from getting a nice bronze tan but instead prolong the length of time you can spend outside, enjoying the weather.

Some pots and pans require more detailed cleaning, thatโs 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.

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 wonโt prevent you from getting a nice bronze tan but instead prolong the length of time you can spend outside, enjoying the weather.

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 havenโt found any evidence that Mitchell was a Mohawk Chief.
So letโs recap, so that we donโt get too confused. Delโs 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 wasnโt born there. Furthermore, he is listed as โwhiteโ 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 thereโs no evidence that Mitchell was a Chief and we know he wasnโt used for the nickel.

Some pots and pans require more detailed cleaning, thatโs 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 wonโt prevent you from getting a nice bronze tan but instead prolong the length of time you can spend outside, enjoying the weather.

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 itโs 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 โ 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.

Some pots and pans require more detailed cleaning, thatโs 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 wonโt 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 itโs not a bad idea to have it on hand in case of any accidents.

Iโm sure I donโt 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, thereโs not much resemblance at all.
Why is all of this important? Well, I canโt say that it is, given I didnโt find any conclusive evidence one way or another. If Del is related to Chief John, as Greg suspects, then itโs important because it means heโs lying. Itโs also important because it establishes a further deep link to Hollywood. As weโve already seen, Delโs immediate family was involved in Showbiz, and he has been as well. Even some family members who werenโt directly involved in Showbiz seem to have public personas – see Delโs great uncleโs the Wolniakbrothers as an example.
Before we move on, Iโd 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 Normaโs father Norman isnโt a full blooded Iroquoi as some sources claim. We have also seen Normanโs 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 Normaโs 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 (Delโs 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 wasnโt 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 thereโs 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.
Delโs Father, Jack Groverland
The first thing we should know about Jack is that Groverland isnโt his real last name. He changed his last name from Arnebold to Groverland.
โI 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 couldnโt begin to imagine the life Iโm 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 Jackโs brother, John Arnebold which shows us that
Jack had two sisters, Katherine and Irene and his motherโs name is Sally. I found no more information on โSally,โ but Ancesty.com doesnโt list any Sally.
Jackโs father is Frederich โFritzโ Arnebold, who immigrated to the United States from Germany. According to records, he was indeed a truck driver, employed by Charles Miller & Co.

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 wonโt prevent you from getting a nice bronze tan but instead prolong the length of time you can spend outside, enjoying the weather.

In case some of the annoying bugs have infested your home, you donโt need to call pest control, believe it or not! You should simply search for a package of baking soda in your kitchen or pantry and sprinkle it in all the holes you can find alongside walls and floors around your house!
Razor Burn Relief
Shaving is a regular self-care task, both for men and women. It takes time, and one must be careful not to cut themselves. Frequently, if your shaving cream or foam is not soft enough and your razor is too dull, you could experience something called razor burn.

If your experiencing severe irritations, itching, and redness, what you could do is make a mixture of water and baking soda, dab a cotton ball in it, and carefully apply it to the irritated area to relieve the uneasiness. Baking soda to the rescue, once more!
Refresh Stuffed Animals
Children love playing with stuffed animals. They are soft, cuddly, and somewhat of a replacement for a pet all kids want, but parents donโt. However, these stuffed animals must be sanitized and refreshed from time to time due to the material they are made of. They collect a lot of dust and dirt.

To ensure your child is playing with a safe plushy, you should simply put it into a box with baking soda. Shake the box to make sure soda seeps into holes and crevices of the toy and draws out the dust and dirt that has accumulated over the years.
Wall Scuffs Begone!
Now, letโs stay on the topic of children. These little misfits can be quite mischievous. They misbehave, ignore momโs and dadโs orders, sneakily do something bad, and might blame it on the house dog or babysitter. Overall, children are a handful.

Their actions even affect house walls. So, next time you notice suspicious pencil markings on the walls, do not fret! There is a solution. All youโll need is baking soda and a sponge. Use a damp sponge and baking soda to remove wall scuffs in a heartbeat. Cleaning kidsโ messes have never been easier!
Make Book Odor a Thing of the Past
There is something uniquely special about old, vintage books. They are higher quality, almost ethereal, and resemble something you might see in fantasy movies. They could transform the whole feel you have about the bookโs content. What about the odor that sometimes follows those older books?

Since they tend to have an aged smell, we suggest you simply sprinkle baking soda in between the pages to refresh them. This hack is super easy, inexpensive, quick, and effective! It should leave your vintage books sanitized and clean!
Unclog It!
What is something that we all use every single day without exception? The bathroom, of course. When nature calls, there is no other solution but to oblige. Now, if you donโt wash your hands, friend, you might want to start doing so!Image Courtesy of Lacey Johnson/The Spruce
Be careful to check your drains once in a while since hairs, dust, dirt, and other materials can end up clogging them. If this happens, donโt panic. All youโll need is a baking soda and vinegar mixture. Since this mixture bubbles, make sure to use a light hand when sprinkling the soda on top. 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 itโs roses, daffodils, or peonies.

Thatโs why itโs of utmost importance to deodorize your trash cans as regularly as anything. Even though you often take out the trash, there is still some residue that accumulates.Image Courtesy of The Kitchn

Refresh Pet Beds
We have a habit of changing our sheets every once in a while, depending on how tidy we are. However, we should not neglect the level of cleanness of our petsโ beds. Itโs important to sanitize them from time to time, keeping them fresh and clean for furry friends to enjoy.
Image courtesy of ~????~/Reddit
To help your pet and clean their bed, all you need to do is sprinkle baking soda on it and let it soak for about 15 minutes. After that, just take a vacuum cleaner and suck in all the baking soda residue from the bed, keeping it nice and sanitized.
Get Rid of Annoying Carpet Stains
If youโre clumsy, someone in your household is, or if you invite guests often, you can expect a few permanent stains here and there, especially on carpets and rugs. Those are the worst. No oneโs home is perfect. But, yours can be! We have a solution.

Just spray this fizzling mixture directly on the stain and start scrubbing with a sponge or cloth. Remember to enjoy your perfectly clean house once youโre done!
Mouthwash on a Budget
Mouthwash is an integral part of peopleโs daily routine. Sometimes brushing teeth with toothpaste and rinsing your mouth and tongue with it is not enough. Mouthwash is there to protect your overall oral health, provide immunity, and kill unhealthy bacteria.
Image courtesy of Soap Deli News Blog
Since baking soda has potent anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties, it is an easy and affordable substitute for the conventional mouthwash you buy in your local grocery store. Just mix a teaspoon of baking soda with a glass of warm water and swish!
Jellyfish Sting Treatment
Most people love vacationing at the beach, basking in the sun, and enjoying a gentle summer breeze. While traveling and spending your days off at the beach, you can sunbathe, play sports, and swim. The possibilities are endless, and everything is seamless.
Image courtesy of Murph_18/Reddit
Now, if youโre not careful enough, you could stumble upon a jellyfish. Jellyfish are visually beautiful creatures with transparent bodies and unique, vibrant colors. However, they can sting, and when they do, make sure to rinse the sting with vinegar and then apply a hot water and baking soda mixture. It is said to do wonders for relieving the pain.
Remove Water Rings
Oftentimes, when we are hosting a gathering at our house, or a party, or a dinner for work friends, we get flustered, anxious, and perhaps even exhausted from preparing all the food, beverages and wanting it to be perfect. In all the fuss, we can forget to use coasters.

Simply mix baking soda with water and use a cloth to remove the water rings! Next time you forget coasters, remember, there is a solution!
Disinfect Your Sponge
Do you ever feel like you are going through sponges too quickly?! Almost like you use them out entirely in just a few weeks of them. The secret is as follows: even though you use your sponge to clean, you must clean the sponge as well! Shocking!
Image courtesy of fidgetspinnerz/Reddit
Sponges are sort of like a breeding ground for bacteria, and they should be cleaned halfway through their life span. If you wish to prolong the life of your sponge, make sure to soak it in a water and baking soda mix to disinfect them. Good luck!
Mildew Remover
If you are a perfectionist like ourselves, youโll find it difficult not to clean all the small crevices you simply canโt reach or canโt disinfect well enough. Mildew usually forms in bathrooms due to humidity and the constant circulation of water.
Image courtesy of craftsyhacks.com
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 of us are just not as good at cooking as others are. Accidents happen, okay?! You drop a bowl, a pancake ends up on the wall or ceiling, you manage to burn spinach and such. Now, there is a savior for those of us who make mistakes and burn pans!
Image courtesy of WikiHow
Some pots and pans require more detailed cleaning, thatโs 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 wonโt 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 donโt protect your vulnerable skin, youโll 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.
Eliminates Feet Odor
Wearing shoes all the time and doing straining activities can leave your feet smelling, well, not so nice, to say the least. Unpleasant foot odor is nothing to be embarrassed about or ashamed of. It happens to everyone, and the key is to find a perfect and easy solution.
Image courtesy of Little Things
What you should do to eliminate foot odor is simply soak your feet in water with baking soda. Since baking soda has the anti-microbial properties we talked about, it eliminates unwanted scents. If youโd like to go a step further, you could sprinkle a bit of baking soda into your shoes and let it sit overnight.
Cleaning Car Battery Terminals
Taking care of oneโs car is important. If you donโt pay close attention to details, you might find yourself more often than not ringing your mechanicโs number for another check-up or appointment. Believe it or not, baking soda can help in keeping your car clean and sound.
Image courtesy of UrsaHomma/Reddit
The build-up in your carโs battery can be nasty. Therefore, you should clean it regularly, and you can do so by creating a paste made out of baking soda and water mixed together. Carefully disconnect the battery and use a toothbrush with the liquid paste to reach all crevices and clean the battery meticulously.
Heartburn Reliever
If you suffer from anxiety or panic attacks, heartburn is no stranger to you. Itโs a very uncomfortable sensation that could only make the initial psychological trigger even worse. Worry no more, of course, because we have an answer to all your problems, and of course, all of them include baking soda!
Image courtesy of Delia Cabrillas/Pinterest
Since baking soda is a natural antacid, it helps out with stomach acids and relieves heartburn. Make sure to take one teaspoon of baking soda and mix it with a glass full of water. Mix well and drink slowly. You should feel better almost instantly.
Homemade Face Mask
Finding perfect yet affordable skincare products is a tiring task. We donโt give enough credit to people that do it so well! Buy this, buy that, and the spending is neverending! It seems like you need a whole rack of expensive products. But no more!
Image courtesy of healthextremist.com
Baking soda has anti-inflammatory properties, and therefore is a perfect product for skincare and improving skin imperfections. It calms acne and skin redness, reduces swelling, and leaves your face clean and fresh. To make a face mask, all you need to do is mix water, baking soda, and lemon juice.
Dry Shampoo Hack
For years weโve come to love using dry shampoos quickly before heading out to do errands, to go on a date or a meeting. They are convenient, smell nice, and soak up the oils from your scalp, making your hair look a day or two cleaner!Image Courtesy of Folder
If you donโt want to spend your money on expensive brands and consume products from the stores, you can always DIY your own dry shampoo. All you need is โ you guessed it โ baking soda. Sprinkle it lightly on your scalp and massage it. It should gather the oils and provide you with a presentable hairstyle!
Remove Unwanted Weeds
If youโre a control freak, even the innocent weeds that seep through your pavement or driveway may cause you some annoyance. There are sprays that could remove and kill the weeds. However, they are not the best ecological solution. There is a better one!
Image courtesy of The Krazy Koupon Lady
Since baking soda is not toxic, biodegradable, and good for the environment, itโs a perfect yet affordable solution for killing weeds. Sprinkle baking soda in the crevices of the pavement, and after a few days, you will notice them wilting away.
Clean Your Shower Curtain
As cleaning your bathroom is important, cleaning and sanitizing your shower curtain is vital as well! Different bacteria and mildew can form on the curtain, and you want to make sure itโs squeaky clean. If you donโt know what to use for sanitizing it, hear us out.
Image courteys of gryffindorwannabe/Reddit
To remove dirt, stains, and accumulated mildew, all you need to do is scrub your shower curtain with baking soda and a damp brush, and voila! Youโll have a refreshed, squeaky clean shower curtain that matches your impeccable bathroom tiles.
Stop a Cooking Fire
Not everyone has access to a fire extinguisher. Letโs 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 itโs not a bad idea to have it on hand in case of any accidents.
Strip Paint with Baking Soda
Sometimes, we get bored of the same old design and colors and wish to change things up a bit. Even painting your table in a new and bold color can spruce up your house or apartment. However, stripping the old paint can be straining and stressful.
Image courtesy of heyugogirl/Reddit
If you donโt want to use harsh chemicals, all you need is to try scrapping with baking soda. Mix baking soda with hot water and apply it to the surface youโd like to scrape paint from. Then use a tool and start scraping the paint. Itโs non-toxic, safe, and easy. Good luck!
Vibrant Laundry
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!
Image courtesy of Diply
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. We consume different foods and liquids all the time, so taking care of oral hygiene should be at the top of our priority list! Especially if you are wearing retainers or braces, you must make sure they are clean and disinfected properly.
Image courtesy of NatureFriend/Unsplash
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, youโll disinfect your retainers or dentures and kill bacteria. Way to go!

I found no red flags with Jackโs story, however his claim that he escaped from jail under a โhail of bullets,โ and then changed his name, requires further attention. Wouldnโt 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 Fritzโs wife (presumably Jackโs Mother) as Louise Arnebold and I found no further information on her.
Peggy (Leeโs Mom) was the creative director for the Oleg Cassinibrand.
WHO IS OLEG CASSINI?
Oleg Cassini was the fashion designer of Jacqueline Kennedyโs 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 Olegโs death in 2006. Christina โTinaโ 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 fatherโs 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, Olegโs 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 Olegโs 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 wivesโ 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 โ 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 Cassiniโs 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 JFKโs father).
It was Bobby Kennedy Sr. (RFK Jr.โs 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 mediaโs fraudulent COVID narrative net. These are folks who havenโt 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 Delโs 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 โtoo extreme.โ 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 โradicalizedโ 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 donโt 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 mainstreamโs pen. Itโs 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 โextreme opposition conspiracy voice,โ knowing full well that reasonable skeptics wonโt see it as such and gravitate towards it. Over time, theyโll 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 mainstreamโs narrative with a dash of hesitancy or skepticism about vaccines and a call to make sure that they are โsaferโ (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 โfighting against corruptionโ. I can assure you, this is not the case. By the time you reach the end of this document and explore some more of Gregโs 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, letโs take a look at Delโs career.
Delโs Showbiz Career and Some Very Lucrative Moves
Del directed Partners in 2003. This film is a soft porn video short film starring Delโs 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 styleโฆ
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). Leeโs 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 Thompsonโs 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 Californiaโs 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 โ 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, heโs 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?
Hereโs 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 youโll see it clearly. Perhaps thatโs 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, Iโd 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.
โBy 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, โฆ 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 โ And the Anti-Vax Movement
Bernard and Lisa Selz have contributed more than $3 million in recent years to the anti-vax movement. Theyโve 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 Museumโs board from 2011โ2017. 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 coupleโs 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 Montanaโs 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 organizationโs board of trustees; he is also on the directorโs council of New York Universityโs 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 groupโs 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

In this 2019 interview, Del was asked directly if he had a major source of funding and he said no. So, why wouldnโt 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.

Yes, Andrew Wakefield, the Doctor who was “exposing” the link between the MMR Vaccine and Autism (and Delโs 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 groupโs 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 Frรจres & 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 Iโm making connections where there are none. Thatโs not my intent. My intent is simply to show you who Bernard Selz is, who he works with and who he works forโฆ
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 โ 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, letโs 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, thatโs 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 thereโs a way to trace the paper trail back to each individual donor. But letโs 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 โanti-vaxโ 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. Thatโs an illusion. They serve Big Pharmaโs 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 โ 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 didnโt know anything about his patent for a new โsaferโ 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 โsaferโ means that it is less dangerous.
But it’s still dangerous, and these people understand this. They arenโt 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 youโre probably thinking that I havenโt 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 weโre just getting started and thereโs 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 theyโve 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 isnโt 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 โMandate for safer childhood vaccines.โ
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. Itโs 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. Theyโre not anti-vaccine as theyโve said over and over and over again. They are very much rabidly and fiercely pro-vaccine. Itโs up to you to decide if you think this is just because they havenโt done the research, or if thereโs something more nefarious going on here.
If you want to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume noble intentions, thatโs fine with me. But if thatโs 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 havenโt spent the ample time doing the exhaustive research required to understand the vaccine issue comprehensively will naturally assume that this is reasonable. Why shouldnโt we have more oversight of these Big Pharma giants?
Because governments donโt really regulate the Pharma companies, thatโs why. They work together, against the people. They just call it โregulationโ 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 Pharmaโs 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.โ (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 vaccineโs unavoidable, adverse side effects: โNo 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, itโs 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 weโve established this irrefutable fact, we have arrived at a very important question.
How is it possible to make vaccines safe, when itโs already been officially ruled that they are โunavoidably unsafeโ by both Congress and the Supreme Court?
The answer – Itโs not, itโs 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, โRestatement (Second) of Torts, Section 402Aโ
Itโs 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 donโt understand this? Do you think theyโre stupid? I donโt, I think they know exactly what theyโre doing. They know that they canโt 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. Shouldnโt 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 โsafety studies.โ 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 โunavoidably unsafe.โ
As a result of this law, the vaccine companies were โgranted blanket legal immunity and impunity from all injuries and deaths resulting from vaccines in the United States.โ (Source)
Given this undeniable fact, shouldnโt one of the goals of the so-called
โanti-vaccineโ movement be to overturn the 1986 Act which protects the vaccine companies? Shouldnโt that be one of their main objectives?
As far as Iโm 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 thatโs not what Del Bigtree cares about. He just wants to make them safer, which, as weโve established, is impossible.
So, letโs go back to ICANโs 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 heโs doing is filing mostly useless lawsuit and FOIA requests for reports detailing the improvements in vaccine safety. ICAN, RFK Jr. and Del Bigtree arenโt attempting to get to the root of the problem, all theyโre doing is trimming around the edges of the bush.
I donโt know about you, but personally I donโt 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 Iโve seen from Del Bigtreeโs 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.
Thatโs 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 didnโt file the reports, and thatโs it. Meanwhile, the vaccine manufacturing machine continued to push forward.
Next, letโs 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 ICANโs website. They used to display it proudly and prominently but now itโs a โpage not found.โ 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, letโs 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 Americaโs 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 isnโt concerned about stopping the hundreds of dangerous vaccines in the pipeline, heโs only concerned with making sure that theyโre safe, which as weโve already established, is impossible.
Children susceptible to vaccine injury are as deserving of protection as any other child.
Isnโt 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, itโs not just Big Pharma who is to blame. Itโs 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, Delโs solution is to write a letter to HHS demanding that they participate in โprotectingโ the children who are โsusceptible to vaccine injuriesโ – 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, isnโt 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 Bigtreeโs 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 HHSโs vaccine program due to safety concerns.
You see? Del doesnโt want to educate us. He doesnโt want the public to learn that so-called โviral diseasesโ like Polio and Smallpox arenโt 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 doesnโt 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 arenโt opposed to vaccines, theyโre 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? Theyโd present their solution to the โdangerous vaccinesโ in the form of new oversight agencies, and big government/Pharma deals, disguised as โregulation.โ We already know that this will happen, because itโs 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 HSSโs โstatutory obligationsโ might be, we know that there is nothing they can do to make vaccines safer. So Del can request as many โfrank conversationsโ as he likes but smart people know that even a thousand โfrank conversationsโ wonโt 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 Bigtreeโs “soft-serve” activism have gone by without a single, tangible result? Heโs certainly been busy writing lots of letters, filing useless lawsuits and having โfrank conversations.โ 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 childโs injury for โservices?โ 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 wouldnโt need their worthless government โservices,โ because there would be no more injuries.
If you thought that last sentence was outrageousโฆ
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, isnโt 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 โdo better.โ
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 thatโs the โfirst step in avoiding these harms.โ 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 canโt 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 canโt 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, Iโll just say that itโs my opinion. You are free to continue giving him the benefit of the doubt. Iโm sure that many Bigtree apologists reading this are still thinking that heโs a man of integrity, fighting the good fight and he just โcanโt go too farโ 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 โanti-vaccineโ 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, heโs 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, letโs 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 thereโs no confusion – In his letter to HHS, Section VIII, Del Bigtree discusses HHSโs 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, itโs true โ both RFK Jr. and Del Bigtree say that they want regulatory agencies that have โunquestioned integrityโ and are โfree from conflicts of interest,โ 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.
Hereโs the angel they wanted us to trust with our lives and our childrensโ livesโฆ
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 Lilyโs 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 โregulatingโ 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 Iโve outlined above.
So they claim they want โgood scienceโ 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 companyโs 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 cancersโ 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 โassuring the safety, effectiveness, quality, and security of pharmaceutical products manufactured and sold in the U.S, including the โsafetyโ of vaccines.โ
This is the guy that Del Bigtree thought would help solve the โsafetyโ 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 Polingโs 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 โprotect childrenโ and provide safety reports, improve vaccine โsafety,โ 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.

Putin was put into power by the Federation Of Jewish Organizations In Russia. The Jewish Chairman of this organization Abramovich stated in a 2005 interview that Putin could obtain Israeli citizenship if he wanted as an ethnic Jew. And that his mother was a Jew Shelomova. This makes Putin full Jewish by Jewish law.
Something damning in the first addition of Putinโs book: First Person: An Astonishingly Frank Self-Portrait by Russiaโs President. It states his mothers maiden name was Shalomovitch which is a Jewish surname. But this is changed to Shelomova in the second addition which is an attempt to cover this up:

โVladimir Putin in the foreground, Roman Abramovich in the background.
Abramovich is chairman of the Federation of Jewish Organizations in Russia (who are allied with the Putin administration) and he also donates money to the Jewish Chabad-Lubavitch movement. Chabad-Lubavitch is an orthodox Jewish movement.
Appointed Putin and Medvedev [My note Medvdev is according to Jewish archives his surname is Mendel]
Abramovich was the first person who recommended Boris Yeltsin to choose Putin as his successor. When Putin formed his first cabinet of prime minister in 1999, the Jew Abramovich was the one who first held โpersonal interviewsโ with each of the candidates before they were approved. After that, Abramovich remained one of Putinโs closest allies.
In 2007 Putin asked this Jew, who would be elected as the new President โ Dmitry Medvedev was then personally recommended by Abramovich. At the G-20 meeting in London in 2009 and the G-8 meeting in 2010, it was Medvedev who became renowned as he had with him a sample of the new supranational world currency โUnited Future World Currencyโ, which he campaigned strongly for according to Bloomberg.com.
Chris Hutchins , who has written the biographies Abramovich: The Billionaire from Nowhere and Putin A Biography, describes Putinโs relationship with Abramovich like one โbetween a father and his favorite sonโ.

Under the heading โprominent Russiansโ, Roman Abramovich is highlighted in Russia Todayโs encyclopedia โRussiapediaโ. It says, among other things, that Abramovich had access to Jeltzins โinnermost circleโ through the Jewish oligarch Boris Berezovsky.

The Vatican oversees all governments. The Pope is the Roman Papal Caesar.The Roman Curia is the governmental body of the Vatican. The All Seeing Eye at the top of the pyramid is the Holy See. All national leaders secretly recognize the Pope as the highest authority on the Earth whether its Barack Obama, Benjamin Netanyahu, or Vladimir Putin. The Catholic Church owns more land and property than any other organization through churches, schools, universities, and laboratories. The College of Cardinals is the Roman Senate and all the Archbishops govern over their districts in service to Rome. The Archbishop of New York is the highest authority in America and controls the CFR (Council On Foreign Relations).
The powers behind the Vatican are the Roman Principalities which go back for thousands of years to ancient Rome, Persia, and Babylon and are directly related to the House of Saud. They include the Colonna, Medici, Sforza, Massimo, Torlonia, Conti, Aldobrandini, Pallavacini, Este, Orsini, Barberini, Gonzaga, Chigi, Borguese, Albani, Pamphili, Caetani and more. This is where the elite bloodlines came from going back about 1000 years ago in Rome during “Moorish” invasion; they were really Mesopotamian, Babylonian, Persian elites who used African armies to invade Europe. These top families are directly related to the German Nobility like Wittlesbach, Wettin, Mecklenburg, Saxe, Lorraine, and Hohenzollern which created the Hofjuden Banking families like Oppenhiemer, Rosenberg, Warburg, Goldsmid etc.
These are the real Illuminati, the real Saturnalian Brotherhood Birth Certificates
Your High level Masonic Knights of Malta representative politicos bend their knee, And here is the list of birth certificates of this Nobility, the REAL Zoroastrian Bloodlines who control the Jesuit Illuminati, which you will see below as the obelisks of Rome:
MATTEIANO
FLAMINIO
VATICANO
DOGALI
SOLARE
LATERANENSE
MINERVEO
MACUTEO
SALLUSTIANO
QUIRINALE
AGONALIS
PINCIANO
ESQUILINE
Here is the list of The real Saturnalian Brotherhood descendants:
House of Borja, House of Breakspear, House of Somaglia, House of Orsini, House of Conti, House of Chigi, House of Colonna, House of Farnese, House of Medici, House of Gaetani, House of Pamphili, House of Este, House of Aldobrandini {Satan}, House of Pallavincini.
These are the Egyptian Ptolemaic Dynasty Rulers in full control of the Company of Jesus, High Grey Council of Ten pulling the strings of the Jesuit Superior General, The Black Pope, controller of the White Pope. This is the Ultra hidden ruling fist from the grey zone. The foundation and binding for the visible white and black Egyptian duality system.
Both the White and Black Pope of modern times lack the blood of the Papal Nobility as these Egyptian masters seek to further veil their existence unlike in times of old when they openly ruled. Welcome to the Arcana Arcanorum Rite of Atlantis. In the Biblical historical record we read that the Israeliteโs were captives of the Egyptians. We read that Jewish Merchants insisted before Pilot they had no King other than Caesar in Rome. They demanded Jesus be put to death, this was also prophetic
George Soros runs all the banking families and is very high level and sovereign. All of these families are married in with European Monarchs and Nobility over the past 1000 years establishing a huge diverse bloodline of power. Most of the Roman Princes still hold their titles to this day. The Saxe Coburg Gotha bloodline is in every European Monarchy today. The Medicis married into the German Lunesburg Nobility and created the Rothschilds and also the Bonaparte family who are also related to the Capetian bloodline which had two Medici Queen Regents. The Rothschilds took over the Medici banking empire and even bought some of their old properties and art. The Rothschilds recently married into the Aldobrandini family. Aldobrandini comes from Aldebaran a Persian name for a Constellation. The Encyclopedia Judaica states the Rothschilds are the “Guardians of the Papal Treasure”
The House of Windsor and House of Bourbon are the highest Monarchies in the world after the Papacy. Pope Benedict XVI is still in power and is using Pope Francis to hide behind. The Superior General of the Society of Jesus; Peter Hans Kolvenbach is higher level than Pope Francis and is also hiding behind Adolfo Nicholas. Britian owned Palestine after WWI and gave it to the Zionists after WWII. The Windsors were Nazi supporters. The elites are all Zionist whether Catholic, Jewish, or Muslim. Spain is an extension of the Latin Roman Empire and Britain is an extension of the Holy Roman Empire. The Society of Jesus was founded 500 years ago to combat those who protested the Church of Rome; the Protestants. The Jesuits are the Roman Intelligence serving the Roman Principalities directly under the King of Spain. There are countless Jesuit educated Military and Intelligence leaders in the US like John Brennan (CIA Director), Leon Panetta (CIA Director), Donald Rumsfield, Gen. Patraeus (CIA Director), Zbigniew Brzensiki, Janet Napolitano, James Clapper (CIA Director), Keith B. Alexander (NSA Director) Alexander Haig and many more. Bill Clinton, John Boehner, Andrew Cuomo, King Abdullah of Jordan, King Felipe VI, Vicente Fox, Fidel Castro all went to Jesuit Universities. Jesuit Universities are recruiting centers for Vatican Agents. Jozef Retinger trained to be a Jesuit Priest and founded the Bilderberg Group. Allen Dulles and William Donovan were Knights of Malta and created the CIA and Dulles also help found the CFR. Ronald Reagan was a Knight of Malta who recognized the Vatican as a sovereign nation. The Sovereign Military Order of Malta is an ancient Crusader Knighthood currently stationed at the Vatican with many members which include Kings, Queens, Dukes, and political and military leaders of all nations. Queen Elizabeth II is a dame of Malta and runs the Order of St. John. Queen Elizabeths cousin Andrew Bertie of the House of Stuart was Grandmaster of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. Queen Beatrix is a Dame of Malta. Many members of royalty of the Houses of Orange, Thurn and Taxis, Nassua, Braganza, Bourbon-Parma, Saxe-Coberg-Gotha, Savoy and Habsburg are all Knights of Malta.

In 1992, Donald Trump was recruited by the Rothschild family in order to further their globalist agenda in exchange for vast sums of cash.ย
Trump is widely portrayed as a white knight by the alternative media, who hope he will end the New World Orderโs dominance over humanity and set us free. However, compelling evidence suggests Trump is nothing more than a Trojan horse Crown Agent, loyal to the City of London banksters.
Hendersonlefthook.wordpress.com reports: The moving of the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem al Quds on Monday was marked by Israeli Defense Forces killing more than 60 unarmed Palestinian protestors. It should have surprised no one that, despite the convening of a UN Security Council meeting to discuss the genocide, the US government said nothing to condemn the Israeli slaughter. UN Ambassador Nikki Haley said, โNo country in this chamber would act with more restraint than Israel has.โ
The Ministry of Truthโs version of โrestraintโ occurred on the 70th anniversary of the founding of Israel. Back then, Stern Gang and Haganah Zionist terror cells operating in the British Mandate of Palestine, slaughtered Palestinian families, seized their olive and pistachio groves and moved into their deeded houses, all with the backing of President Harry Truman and the US government.
The founding of Israel was a project of the Business Roundtable โ a Chatham House City of London project later known as the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA).ย They pushed through the private Federal Reserve bank in the US in 1913 while President Woodrow Wilson relaxed Revolutionary War-era tariffs aimed at the East India Company and other Crown Agents.
https://rumble.com/embed/v13dfzl/?pub=icuj3
In 1917 the RIIA overthrew the Romanov dynasty in Russia with phony Bolshevik revolutionaries funded by the Kuhn Loeb and Warburg banking dynasties. That same year Roundtable member & British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour sent a letter to fellow Roundtabler Lord Walter Rothschild declaring support for the establishment of Israel on Palestinian land. It became known as the Balfour Declaration.
17 Carnations: The Royals, the Nazis
The Crown then backed the rise of Adolf Hitler and the subsequent de-industrialization of Germany. Soon they had their pretext for a mass exodus of Zionist Jews to Israel where that nation would serve not as a safe Jewish homeland, but as a regional enforcer for the Rothschild/Rockefeller oil cartel.
The 1922 Treaty of Jeddah established the exact same role for the House of Saud. The RIIA Crown Agent in the US is the Council on Foreign Relations, which pretty much dictates US foreign policy through its widely read Foreign Affairs rag. The Atlantic Council is another Crown Agent RIIA affiliate.
The brazen move by President Trump to relocate the US embassy to Jerusalem al Quds, a city shared by both Israel & Palestine, marks a dangerous new chapter US Middle East policy.
The brazen move by President Trump to relocate the US embassy to Jerusalem al Quds, a city shared by both Israel & Palestine, marks a dangerous new chapter US Middle East policy. Trumpโs hailing of peace on the Korean Peninsula was a red herring. North Korea has no oil. And the peace will not hold if the US continues to conduct military exercises with South Korea.
Meanwhile, the elevation of Crown Agents (neo-cons) John Bolton and Mike Pompeo indicate the the Project for a New Century crowd (Crown Agents), despite their cumulative failures in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Sudan and Syria; still want to go to war with that 7th country they targeted for destruction โ Iran. This embassy move, along with increased Israeli shelling of Iranian bases in Syria, could be the trigger.
So where does Trump fit into all this?
Despite the aforementioned carnage and the further deregulation of the corporatocracy, controlled opposition figures such as Alex Jones and the widely circulated QAnon tell us that Trump is a white knight waiting for the right moment to end the bankerโs hegemony over planet earth.
For anyone who still believes this and bought that swamp in Florida which was supposed to get drainedโฆsome day, hereโs the evidence that in fact your white knight is nothing more than a Trojan horse Crown Agent beholden to the City of London banksters.
In 1987 Donald Trump purchased 93% of Resorts International, a CIA front founded by Crown Agents Allen Dulles and David Rockefeller as the Mary Carter Paint Company in the 1950โs. A year later Trump bought the Atlantic City, NJ Taj Mahal Casino from Resorts International, then began buying up other properties on the Atlantic City boardwalk.
Soon Trump was tapped out and couldnโt make his debt payments.
Enter Wilbur Ross, billionaire bond trader portrayed by the Illuminati financial media as an โindependent investorโ. In fact, in 1992 Ross was heading Rothschild Inc.โs bankruptcy advising team, which represented bondholders who were threatening to foreclose on Donaldโs house of cards.
Ross saw how Trump had the ability to sway masses of people, something certainly not missed by his bosses at Rothschild. So he struck a sweetheart bankruptcy deal for Trump, where he would relinquish a 50% stake in his Atlantic City, NJ Taj Mahal casino in return for better debt terms and a Presidency to be named later.
Rothschild and their City of London partners in crime, not only got a new East Coast money laundering center in Atlantic City. They now had their straw man Trump by the balls.
Later Ross would partner with Jared Kushner in buying commercial properties in New York through Invesco. Jared married Trumpโs daughter Ivanka, who prior to that had been dating Lord Jacob Rothschildโs son Nat. Ross got behind Trumpโs candidacy and would later be named Commerce Secretary.
For the Democratic faithful feeling a big smug right about now, donโt forget that Hillary Clinton had herself been endorsed by Lynn De Rothschild.
The City of London had this election in the bag.ย Time to lose childish illusions fed by Crown Agents.ย Forget about elections.ย Those days are over.ย Itโs time to unite, drop the cowardly lion routine and cut off the head ofย snake.

Connections between Ukrainian and Israeli arms companies show a link between the Zionist entity and the Nazi-Banderista Battalion that integrates the police forces of the oligarchic and pro-Atlantist regime in Kiev.
Israeli armaments are being sent to the Azov Battalion โ a Ukrainian Nazi-Banderist militia that is part of the security forces of the current post-Maidan oligarchic-Zionist government (Western ally and Russia’s enemy).
Even Azov’s online propaganda does not hide the connection, as it does not shy away from exposing photographs of militiamen carrying Tavor rifles , an Israeli-licensed weapon. On the Battalion’s own Youtube channel, for example, a video review shows copies of two locally produced Israeli Tavor rifles, as can be seen below:
Tavor rifles are produced under the Israel Weapon Industries license and as such have been authorized for manufacture and export by Israeli government agencies.
The Battalion, which came to power after the coup d’รฉtat orchestrated by the West, in close collaboration with NGOs linked to George Soros (such as the International Renaissance Foundation ), as it consolidated itself as the armed wing of the Kiev Junta, rose to increasingly central positions in Ukrainian politics.
Andriy Biletsky, one of the founders of Azov, is now a parliamentarian in the Supreme Council of Ukraine .
Vadym Troyan, former deputy commander of the Battalion, is currently chief of police in the Kiev oblast โ an appointment, that is, made by the Ukrainian Minister of Internal Affairs, Arsen Avakov, who, in September 2017 , met with the minister from the Israeli countryside, Aryeh Deri, to discuss a โfruitful cooperationโ between both countries.
Arsen Avakov and Aryeh Deri, respectively, interior ministers of Ukraine and Israel, at a meeting to address strategic and security issues.
Analysts and activists claim that Avakov is now the man behind Azov, its most structured institutional arm. In fact, the appointment of a notorious Azovista to a central police post in the country’s capital is enough to establish the link between him and the infamous Battalion.

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. You are the real warriors of the so called “End Times”. The unsung Heroes.
Nobody said it was going to be easy. Keep On Fighting The Good Fight.
