RobinJ Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 21 hours ago, Merlin said: Thanks for your post from two years ago, I can confirm that there is new requirement for differently wired fire alarms that include "SMARTLink" and "AUDIOLink", when installed in my property all three were installed via hardwire, however I can confirm it also includes the wireless addon "Ei3000MRF SmartLINK Module" inside the fire alarms which emits specifically 868mhz, how ironic that they bring in new legislation to force these new fire alarms on us. Upon searching more into this, I soon find it functions on specifically 868mhz as stated above, this is when I searched 868 also in the icke forums to see what I can find, and what a coincidence, even though it isn't directly linked to Covid I thought I would respond to this where I found the post. Does anyone know specifically what that frequency might do or how it effects humans? Is there any research about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macnamara Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 JABBED? Family in Shock After Their Healthy 21-Year-Old Son Dies Suddenly In His Sleep By Cullen Linebarger Published February 4, 2023 Rickson Williams was a beloved former school captain from Wallaville, Queensland, Australia who had his whole life ahead of him. Rickson, however, passed away while asleep last month just a few days before his 21st birthday. Rickson’s death continues an alarming pattern of young adults worldwide suddenly dying for reasons unknown. In some cases, parents of these young adults have pointed to the COVID vaccine as the culprit. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/02/family-shock-healthy-21-year-old-son-dies-suddenly-sleep/ Graduate Student Found Dead at North Carolina State University – 7th Incident of Student Who Died Since School Year Began According to reports, this is the seventh incident of a student who died at North Carolina State University this academic year. Some people on social media have speculated that the COVID vaccine could be to blame. Despite the cover-up from the government and mainstream media, the number of vaccinated people dying suddenly is very alarming. http://www.hideoutnow.com/2023/02/graduate-student-found-dead-at-north.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LastOneLeftInTheCounty Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Social Credit Brazilian Style: All UBI Recipients Must be Vaxxed By Mark E. Jeftovic Anybody who seriously thinks that Universal Basic Income (UBI) programs of the future won’t be full-blown social credit systems need look no further than Brazil, where newly selected socialist / globalist Lula da Silva just decreed that the Bolsa Familia program will require family members to be vaccinated in order to continue receiving benefits. “We can’t play, it’s a question of science. If I have 10 covid vaccines to take, I will take all that is necessary ”. The news comes via The Rio Times, which describes the Bolsa program as “a social welfare program for the poorest families in Brazil” and “a kind of Universal Basic Income”. UBI is considered by many to be beneficent and inevitable. I personally believe the latter but not the former. However, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that if you’re dependent on The Saviour State for your sustenance (as Charles Hugh Smith calls it), you are, in effect, their chattel. CBDCs will be the rails for UBI programs The emergence of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) initiatives in nearly every nation on earth clearly signals the direction this is going. Nearly every CBDC white paper or proposal I’ve come across has the following three characteristics spelled out in plain text, and I expect every CBDC to have these five capabilities baked-in, whether or not they are initially enabled (or documented). #1) Expiry dates / use-by dates CBDCs will have expiry dates after which their value will evaporate or erode. What I’ve noticed is white papers coming out of central banks started framing it as a feature, not a bug, to facilitate “recovery of lost funds”. Abstract An important feature of physical cash payments is resilience, which is due to their indifference to power outages or network coverage. Many central banks are exploring issuing digital cash substitutes with similar online payment functionality. Such substitutes could incorporate novel features, making them more desirable than physical cash. This paper considers introducing an expiry date for online digital currency balances to automate personal loss recovery. We show that this functionality could substantially increase consumer demand for digital cash, with the time to expiration playing an important role. Having more information available to the central bank improves accuracy of loss recovery but may decrease welfare. — Best Before Expiry? Expiring Digital Currency and Loss Recovery,Bank of Canada Staff Paper, December 24, 2021 However, the real reason CBDCs will have expiry dates is to stimulate money velocity and keep recipients dependent. #2) “Anti-hoarding” features Saving for the future is being rebranded as “hoarding” and is becoming officially unfashionable because personal savings reduces dependency on the state. The easiest mechanism for achieving this will be through negative interest rates on savings accounts, as per this IMF white paper, “A world with lower inflation (and even zero inflation) and no persistent recessions may sound like a pipe dream, but we argue that it is possible by transitioning to an “electronic money standard.” Such a transition requires eliminating the zero lower bound, which central banks can achieve using readily available tools. Breaking the zero lower bound implies that the optimal rate of inflation will be lower than in the presence of the lower bound. This will empower central banks to quickly restore full employment and, over the medium term, possibly move toward targeting full price stability with zero inflation.” …which goes on to outline the challenges there would be in eliminating the “arbitrage” between digital and physical cash: A zero lower bound can be brokenthrough a combination of (1) adopting or strengthening an electronic money standard in which electronic money is the unit of account and (2) implementing a time-varying interest rate (or more generally, rate of return) on paper currency (cash). Then, as the interest rate on cash moves in line with the official policy rates, there is no arbitrage between cash and money in the bank. Operationally this can be done while remaining quite close to the current monetary system, but there are several legal, communication, and political challenges to a transition to such an electronic money standard(Agarwal, and Kimball 2019). (Despite the current rise in rates, once the money printers fire back up, this is where we’re headed.) #3) Total Information Awareness Once it’s digitized in a centralized database (central banks) – as opposed to being cryptographically secured on a decentralized blockchain (Bitcoin) – everything becomes known to central authorities instantly. Taxation can be applied per transaction; but, more interestingly – prices can also be modified on the fly. If you’re behind on your property or income taxes – or have an unpaid fine (maybe because you’re fighting it), for example – they could simply enable a rolling garnishee on your wallet until it’s paid off. While all transaction signatures are public on Bitcoin, they’re pseudonymous and, more importantly, unalterable. It’s true it may be known or discoverable that A sent sats to B, but there’s nothing any third party can do about it. With Lightning on the ascent, combined with various privacy nhancements in that regard, Bitcoin development is moving in the direction of more freedom and more privacy – which is the opposite direction of most CBDC initiatives. Finally, whether CBDCs are launched with the noblest of intentions, there will at some point arise “an emergency” which will make it necessary for The People in Charge to “flip the switch” and turn them into: #4) Social credit systems Imagine if “LoonCoin” was a thing last year when the #FreedomConvoy hit Ottawa (and signalled the beginning of a worldwide revolt against Covid tyranny). Instead of emailing a list of bank accounts to be frozen that were cribbed from a (hacked) spreadsheet, they could simply direct the Bank of Canada to turn off everybody’s digital wallets who were in the vicinity of the protest, or who contributed to their crowdfund, or who retweeted the #HonkHonk hashtag. Do you think they wouldn’t have done it? Covid vaxports have already been weaponized in China; Brazil is doing it with their UBI program and when this is all formalized into a CBDC, they will probably not launch it without the framework for widespread social-credit and -control systems being part of the plumbing. We all know from our experience with the pandemic, emergencies tend to drag on in perpetuity. The “War on Terror” is still in effect, and there are still legions of collectivist automatons tweeting #CovidIsntOver. So when “The Long Emergency” (to use James Kunstler’s term) becomes a never-ending, rolling climate crisis, the social-credit systems built into CBDCs will be used to enforce: #5) Carbon footprint tracking Back in Carbon Rationing, CBDCs and Sound Money I wrote how this trajectory is more or less baked-in now, and that the state-run financial system is undergoing a shift from a debt-backed monetary system to one based on carbon quotas. This is the ultimate end-game of CBDCs. There is no hidden agenda or conspiracy around this (there’s already a Mastercard that cuts off your spending when you exceed your carbon quota), and globalist elites are quite up front about it…. Why CBDCs will ultimately fail The developments of CBDCs is something we monitor in The Bitcoin Capitalist(formerly The Crypto Capitalist). Every month we put out our coverage of CBDCs in the “Eye On Evilcoin” section and it’s not always bad news. There is still some time to stop CBDCs Despite all the jawboning about CBDCs, nobody has really deployed anything viable. It’s all still design and planning – with some test beds going on. The few projects that have launched formal, actual CBDCs have largely stiffed: Nigeria’s Enaira, Venezuela (lol). Even China’s much vaunted Digital Yuan had an underwhelming reception at last year’s Olympics (my suspicion is that the global financial system is unraveling faster than CBDCs can be developed, so they may have to go with something already out there, like Ethereum). Worth noting is that Brazil plans to deploy its CBDC next year. I should note one exception to all the proposals out there in former CFTC Commissioner Chris Giancarlo (a.k.a “CryptoDad”) and the Digital Dollar Project. So far it’s the one proposal I’ve seen bucking the trend among all CBDC specifications in that there is no talk of expiry dates, and an actual emphasis on tokenization, custody and privacy. CBDCs will not be permanent It amuses me that when I read these plans around social-credit-flavoured CBDCs, policymakers still continue to believe that by hobbling “cash”, making it impossible to save, eliminating privacy and layering on Orwellian levels of social control, they still get something that the public will prefer to cash, crypto or Bitcoin. It’s delusional. Incentives matter, and that’s why nobody in their right might isn’t going to hold any wealth in CBDCs and will keep their transactions within it to the lowest practical level. The overall global system of governance is in a Fourth Turning-style restructuring. With institutional legitimacy in tatters and public trust plummeting, CBDCs are typical and symbolic of the last gasp of industrial-era, centrally planned economies. The transition period between where we are now (Late Stage Globalism) and where we are headed – decentralized network states, is going to be rough, so I advise battening down the hatches and reducing one’s reliance on government entitlements as much as possible… Pro Tip: Don’t be poor This is where we’re headed folks, so at the risk of sounding flippant, the solution is not to need financial aid. Anybody depending on state entitlements or financial support will be CBDCerfs, their affairs fully regulated by the state, their carbon footprints metered and rationed, while their lives are gamified through their smartphones. Among the affluent G20 nations where woke-ism reigns supreme and neo-Marxism is still fashionable, a lot of them may even like it. But for the rest of us, who would prefer not to “own nothing and be happy”, it’s imperative that you have zero reliance on government subsidies, entitlements or support payments. If you haven’t already: Start a business (even a kitchen table business or an online venture). Start stacking sats (Bitcoin) – get off zero, today. Start taking sats at your business. If you already own or run a business, buy, start or invest in another one. It’s going to get a lot more expensive to be free. It’s not right or fair, but that doesn’t matter. The good news is there’s never been a better time in history to learn, create, innovate and grow, and these are the dynamics and incentives that will ultimately prevail. We’re in a period of peak collectivism and peak centralization now (for the next few years). This dominating ideology is ultimately an anti-human philosophy, and this too shall pass. Be ready for it, either way. https://activistpost.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3ac8bebe085f73ea3503bbda3&id=caa0b1f59e&e=12fa210b90 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
