NO ACCIDENTS: The Oblivious Masses Have No Idea They Are Being Systematically EXTERMINATED by a Series of Planned Disasters​

Mass extermination of humanity under way… and most humans are blind to what’s happening

(Natural News) The chemical weapons gas bomb that was ignited by government authorities in Ohio was, of course, both an act of deliberate terrorism and a crime against humanity and the environment. I spoke with an accredited hazardous materials emergency response expert who told me that these chemicals should never have been set on fire by authorities. (I’m interviewing this expert later this evening and hope to bring you that audio interview tomorrow for full details.)
The burning of vinyl chloride, of course, releases phosgene, a World War I chemical weapon that maims or kills biological beings on contact. The train crash provided the perfect cover story for genocidal government agents to essentially detonate a chemical weapons bomb over prime farm land, not far from heavily populated cities. The entire Ohio River basin will be impacted by the fallout for years to come, with massive die-offs already being reported, and both soils and foliage to be impacted with actual acid rain (hydrochloric acid), formed as the combustion products of vinyl chloride combine with water vapor in the air.
(The media are largely silent on all this, pretending that the real threat to humanity is carbon dioxide.)
Vinyl-Chloride-Fire-Ohio-600.jpeg

Not surprisingly, most people believe this was all an accident. Just like they also believe the covid “lab leak” was an accident. And the vaccine injuries are an accident.
There are no accidents when it comes to global genocide. All these things are being done on purpose with the determined goal of global genocide and depopulation.
Just one month ago, a large chemical plant exploded in La Salle, Illinois (near Chicago), unleashing a huge toxic cloud of potassium permanganate. This pattern of chemical “accidents” is starting to resemble food infrastructure sabotage, in which 100+ food facilities have now burned over the last 18 months, clearly targeted by government operatives, just as Dr. Andrew Huff recently warned me in a recent interview. (And he knows, as he used to work with DHS on the food security infrastructure.)

Mass extermination of humanity under way… and most humans are blind to what’s happening​

The sabotage takedowns of the food supply… the provocation of Putin into World War III… the deliberate dismantling of energy infrastructure… depopulation bioweapons in the jabs… these are all being carried out to exterminate the human race and collapse human civilization. Yet 99% of those who are being exterminated continue to remain oblivious to what’s happening, and many of them actively support the exterminators

Firefighters responded to a massive warehouse fire in Kissimmee, Florida, Thursday, that burned five acres of plastic planters.
The fire was reported around 2AM at Nursery Supplies Inc. southwest of Orlando.
“Two acres worth of [pallets] holding plastic planters are burning and crews are using 4,500 gallons of water per minute to douse the flames,” according to WESH, with crews adding that propane tanks were also located nearby.


As HAZMAT crews assessed the situation, officials said they weren’t seeing signs of immediate danger for the surrounding community.
“We’ve got remote monitoring set up and we’re not yet getting any signal that would cause us to call for an evacuation, but that could change,” said Osceola Fire Rescue Deputy Chief Jon Haskett. “If there is an evacuation, it would be due to the smoke and carbon monoxide off the fire.”
Haskett said they’re not yet sure what caused the blaze.
Photos and video circulating on social media showed the devastating extent of the fire.

Henry H. Klein - Jewish Martyr Exposed Communist Control of the US​

February 18, 2023

Klein1.jpg


In his courageous defence of American patriots in the WW2 sedition trials, Klein exposed the cancer that is devouring the world today.

His defence of
American patriots resulted in is being ostracized and probably killed by the
Jewish community and its government assets.

Klein said:
"Communists control not only our government but our politics, our labor organizations, our agriculture, our mines, our industries, our war plants and our armed encampments....Antisemitism is a racket..."

(Revised from Nov. 9, 2008 and July 23, 2019)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Henry Makow Ph.D.

Shortly before
his "suicide" in 1955, Henry H. Klein, a righteous Jew, uttered these prophetic words:

"Zionism is a political program for the conquest of the world...Zionism destroyed Russia by violence as a warning to other nations. It is destroying the United States through bankruptcy, as Lenin advised. Zionism wants another world war if necessary to enslave the people. Our manpower is scattered over the world. Will we be destroyed from within or will we wake up in time to prevent it?" (Pamphlet "Zionism Rules the World")

Like Robert Edmondson, Klein is another American hero flushed down the memory hole for defying the Rothschild -Rockefeller cartel. There is no Wikipedia entry for this Jew who fought the Masonic bankers all his life as a crusading NYC reporter, editor, author, city official and Mayoral candidate. (He said the Rockefellers and most other tycoons are under Zionist control.) He became a lawyer and defended pro bono Christian patriots in the famous "Sedition" Show Trial of 1942-1944.

Klein represents the true (Jewish) spirit, not exclusive to Jews, of serving God, the inborn universal principle of absolute truth and justice. Like other groups, Jews have been betrayed by the Luciferian (Illuminati) central bankers using various 'isms including Zionism, Communism, Liberalism, Fascism, Socialism and Feminism.

Klein dedicated his 1935 autobiography "My Last Fifty Years" to his mother "whose Instincts and Spirit were transmitted to her son." He can truthfully say, "In a world ruled by Mammon, I have tried to serve my fellow man...If I have exposed some hypocrites, humbugs and liars, I feel I have only further served God."

THE SHOW TRIALS


In 1942-44, FDR ordered a Stalinist Show Trial to punish American patriots and anti-Communists. Since Russia was an ally, he wanted to paint his critics as Nazis and anti-Semites. About 45 disparate activists, including Robert Edmondson, were charged with inciting rebellion among American soldiers and put in jail. The investigation against them was conducted by the B'nai Brith, the FBI and reporters for the (Illuminati Jewish banker owned) Washington Post.

Henry Klein represented Elmer J. Garner of Wichita, Kansas, a deaf 83-year-old American patriot who died three weeks after the trial began. He had been held in the [Washington, D.C.] jail for several weeks, for lack of bond fees, and died alone in a Washington rooming house with 40 cents in his pocket. Curiously, he was first cousin of FDR's first VP, John Nance Garner.

Among the other persecuted patriots were: a sign painter who was 80 percent deaf, a Detroit factory worker, a waiter and a maid. (This account is indebted to "A Mockery of Justice -The Great Sedition Trial of 1944" by Michael Collins Piper & Ken Hoop.)

More prominent targets included former American diplomat and economist Lawrence Dennis, who said "Pearl Harbor did not suspend the Bill of Rights"; Mrs. Elizabeth Dilling of Chicago, an outspoken and articulate anti-Communist lecturer; Rev. Gerald Winrod of Kansas who had run for the Senate; and William Griffin, a New York-based publisher with connections in the Roman Catholic Church.

By jailing these people, FDR hoped to intimidate his more serious critics, men like Col. [Charles] Lindbergh or Senators [Burton] Wheeler [D-Mont.], [Robert] Taft [R-Ohio] and Gerald Nye [R-N.D.]

KLEIN'S DEFENCE


After Garner died, Klein represented Col. Eugene N. Sanctuary,73, who ran the Presbyterian foreign mission office in NYC. Sanctuary had written a pamphlet "Is the New Deal Communist?" in which he made a 35-point comparison of it to Marx's 1848 program. [Images of Garner and Sanctuary have been scrubbed from the Internet.)

He also wrote "The Talmud Unmasked: The Secret Rabbinical Teachings Concerning Christians" (New York, 1939). He was also the author of several hundred sacred and patriotic songs including "Uncle Sam We Are Standing by You." He was hardly the dangerous seditionist that the prosecution and the sympathetic press painted him to be.

"This alleged indictment," Klein said in his opening address to the jury, "is ... under a Constitution which guarantees free press and free speech at all times, including during wartime...These people believed in the guarantees set forth in the Constitution, and they criticized various acts of the administration."

communism-judaism.jpeg
(Judaism is defined by Cabalism which is Satanism and Communism)

Klein's defense included the following:

"We will prove that the Communists control not only our government but our politics, our labor organizations, our agriculture, our mines, our industries, our war plants and our armed encampments."

"We will prove that this persecution was instigated by so-called professional Jews who make a business of preying on other Jews by scaring them into the belief that their lives and their property are in danger through threatened pogroms in the United States [and that] anti-Semitism charged in this so-called indictment, is a racket, that is being run by racketeers for graft purposes."

"We will show that the most vicious written attack on Jews and on the Roosevelt administration emanated from the office of the FBI by one of its agents, and that the purpose of this attack was to provoke others to do likewise. We will show that this agent also drilled his underlings in New York with broom sticks preparatory to "killing Jews."

"We will show that large sums of Hitler money helped finance Mr. Roosevelt's campaign for re-election in 1936 and that right at this moment, British, American and German capital and industry are co-operating together in South America and other parts of the world."
[This points to the Illuminati as a worldwide elite conspiracy controlling both sides of every conflict.]

Klein's speech was a critical turning point in the defense Lawrence Reilly wrote that "Klein did much in his brief speech to torpedo [Prosecutor] Rogge's case by bringing to light the hidden agencies responsible for its existence."

As a direct consequence of his offensive against the ADL and the other Jewish groups that had orchestrated the trial, Klein was targeted, specifically because he was Jewish.

Klein wrote that "attempts were made to poison me in in Washington DC and to knock me off otherwise in NYC. My telephone has been tapped for more than 10 years and my mail stolen. Clients and friends were warned to keep away from me and word was sent out by the Jewish cabal to starve Klein."

220px-louis_t-_mcfadden.jpg
According to Revilo Oliver, Klein committed suicide in 1955 but it is quite likely he was murdered. Louis McFadden, left, the chairman of the House Banking Committee was similarly murdered in 1936. The author of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" boasts of killing opponents, especially uncooperative fellow Masons, and making the deaths look natural.

CONCLUSION

Our society is like a snake shedding its skin. The old skin was Western civilization, devotion to God, country, human development and freedom. The new skin is a banker-controlled socially engineered plantation where the slaves think they are free.

Henry Klein fought this development but America doesn't even know he existed. This is the fate of patriots in a land which has been totally subverted by an international satanic cult bent on translating its economic monopoly into a total monopoly over politics, culture and religion. Zionism, including organized Jewry, is an unwitting accomplice in this demonic drive to control and own everything and everyone.

But Zionism is just one arrow in the Illuminati quiver, which includes Freemasonry, most religions including fundamentalist Islam (Salafis/Wahabis,) Intelligence agencies, corporations, governments, foundations, think tanks, the mass media, education, NGO's etc. Essentially they have control over money and everyone dances to their tune, while oozing unction. They pit their various agents against each other in order to achieve their goal, the degradation and enslavement of mankind.

It's hard to say whether the Illuminati expresses a Pharisee Jewish need to control the world, or a Satanic one, or whether there is a difference between the two. But one thing is clear. Like everyone else, Jews like Henry Klein have an innate connection to God. Once we realize we are victims of a monstrous hoax, we can follow Klein's example and express His Spirit anew.

There are loads of religionists Reggie, even on this site. I hope they can cut out their Churchianity vises and 'old' traditions of pagan beliefs.

By the way Reggie, Cristo R. says a big hello to you. He is now working in Adelaide and swapped out his motor camper (motor/engine blew) for a pull-caravan. Quite neat and clean, a used one, in great shape. He eventually wants to get a Bank loan for a small place in the near-future. He is welding is #$%-off. He's making modern aluminum caravan and off-road wheeled trailer chassis and frames.
Good to hear about Cristo R !

You can inform him that I am doing it tough ? forced by my Wife, Laying about on the Beach in Caloundra QLD and being on the 11th floor directly facing the beach and coming back to the pool, then having to find lunch and then going out to a meal every night, it gets to you a bit but I no complain.
The air-con got a bit cooled, wife likes such a bit too cooled for me, I had to put a blanket on myself in bed.

Right you are, good to hear from your APAK.

END OF AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY: Biden Regime Negotiates “Legally Binding” Deal To Give Chinese-Backed World Health Organization Full Authority Over US Pandemic Policies – No Senate Approval Needed

The Biden Regime never fails to orchestrate an avenue to circumvent the U.S. Constitution and betray the American people. A bombshell report from the Epoch Times Saturday reveals the Regime is about to surrender America’s sovereignty to the World Health Organization (WHO) and give them full control over future pandemic policy.

The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on these negotiations between the Regime and the WHO over the past year.

TGP’s Alicia Powe, for example, exclusively revealed that Biden’s Health and Human Service Department secretly submitted proposed amendments, “Strengthen WHO preparedness for and response to health emergencies,” to the WHO to reform International Health Regulations of 2005, an existing health treaty.

Seems like the conspiracy train hasn't stopped one bit.

I think we should rename this section to conspiracy theories and let the real news have its place among the drivel.

I see you have nothing useful to contribute once again. You know your COVID conspiracies that it was a real virus and that vaccines were actual vaccines for the benefit of humankind turned our to be wild conspiracies....and lies.

You are in the medical field if I remember right and live in Polk County just South of me. I bet you are getting loads of COVID -vaccine related deaths by now. Why don't you speak on this subject and brings us all up to the speed with all these untimely deaths? Discuss the real news and not conspiracies this time.

Why would I speak on untimely deaths that I know nothing about?

All the people that I know who have been vaccinated are alive and well. No deaths and no adverse reactions. I no longer work on an ambulance. I work in a plasma center. All the people who disclose that they have been vaccinated for Covid are still coming in healthy and well.

To me, what you are saying is a conspiracy. So, I suggested that they open a separate forum for conspiracy theories so that you can the other conspiracy theorists can go have fin and leave the current event forum alone.

This thread is about real conspiracies by elite powerful forces and groups in this evil world. Been going on even before Christ's presence on this earth. And it wont change just because you believe they are all theories today. I wonder how that would have gone down if some of Christ's early followers told Jesus he was crack-pot and a conspiracy theorist concerning who he was - the Son of God.

You seem to hold on to the CIA born phrase of the 60s that any conspiracy presented other that by the government, controlled media or by powerful groups are just theories generated by crack-pots. These are real conspiracies in this thread Naomanous even if the data does not suit your standards or liking. If it is actually a theory the words will speak to it as required in that particular subject, and there are a few that need to be vetted a lot more of course.

I think yo might need to start your own real Conspiracy thread, if you can if you are so interested with the real truth. Meantime, this real Conspiracy thread can be quite informative and will keep move along whether you praise it or condemn it.

Why would I start my own? I don't have anything to do with conspiracies. You can believe them all you want, I will do no such thing.

I asked for them to make a conspiracy forum so you and your buddies can go play with conspiracies and leave the real current events to be discussed without conspiracies being thrown in. Other Christian forums do it, it should be done here as well.

You have just proved my point about your world and even spiritual view with your own words. At least you are honest about it. You think that this thread has nothing to do with current affairs/events and by strong implication, you think that current events are never truly conspiracies and would have no place in this thread.

You live in a very sheltered and unreal world in my estimation. And those so-called 'Conspiracy theory forums you speak about are outlandish and many are sci-fi. If you cannot see the difference with this thread and those you speak of and want to corral this one thread with, I cannot help you. You are beyond help and confused in my estimation.

I wonder if you believe in a 'flat' non-spherical earth? I do not. Now that is not only a theory it an ignorant one. And it should be placed in the twilight theory forum section of a chat site. It's not even a conspiracy whether real, imagined or a real theory.

Happy Trails with your version of current affairs....until next time

Dystopia Down Under: Facial Mood-Tracking CCTV Cameras Deployed at Mardi Gras Pride Parade​

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - FEBRUARY 25: Parade goers walk in the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade as part of Sydney WorldPride on February 25, 2023 in Sydney, Australia. The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade returns to Oxford Street in celebration of the event's 45th anniversary. The parade …

Surveillance cameras with the ability to measure a crowd’s “mood” and track the number of people by counting cell phone frequencies were deployed at the Lesbian and Gay Mardi Gras Parade on Saturday in Sydney, Australia.
The CCTV technology from the Dynamic Crowd Measurement firm was used to monitor Oxford Street in Sydney as the city’s LGBTQ-themed Mardi Gras parade was held for the first time since 2019, having been cancelled for the past three years due to the Chinese coronavirus.
According to a report from the Sydney Morning Herald, the cutting-edge cameras came equipped with the ability to track the mood of the crowd, with software being able to track facial expressions and determine whether they are displaying signs of happiness, anger, or neutrality.
The cameras also come with the ability to measure crowd density by counting the number of cell phone frequencies emitted in a given area. It was estimated that around 12,000 people attended on Saturday.

A spokesman for the Pride Parade told the paper that the cameras were only intended to “direct people to less crowded zones if areas become too full.”
“The technology helps with managing the safety of the crowd by measuring capacities, allowing operations to zone in on an area that needs immediate response or to plan ahead for where there are areas of growing crowds,” the Mardi Gras spokesman continued.
“There is no facial recognition tracking and it cannot track people from one place to another. It provides real-time metrics that snapshot the crowd across the entire route at any given point to inform proactive crowd management decision-making.”
The spokesman also claimed that the data would be handled by the parade organisers, who would feed “specific metrics” to police on the ground in order to direct the crowds, and that no other information would be handed over to the police.
The technology, which was previously used during New Year’s Eve celebrations in the city, is currently set to be taken down after Mardi Gras.

This year’s Lesbian and Gay Mardi Gras Parade was also notable in that it was the first such march to see a sitting prime minster attend, with the far-left Australian Labor Party leader Anthony Albanese joining the parade.
“This is a celebration of modern Australia,” Mr Albanese said, adding that he thought it was “unfortunate” that no other previous pm came to the parade.
“People want to see that their government is inclusive and represents everyone no matter who they love, no matter what their identity, no matter where they live,” he said.
