Trump: “I’ve felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”
One of Donald Trump’s superpowers is that his neverending firehose of corruption, lies, gaffes, and buffoonish behavior
gushes out a flood of information that neither the human brain nor the news media is capable of comprehending or contextualizing.

"Israel is no longer a democracy" ,says Lapid(co leader of blue and white) 5 minutes ago
Speaker of the knesset reacts by agreeing 'parliamentary oversight'on 24/7 phonehacking of all the population.
let's see if he does,vote will be wednesday ,that's along time from now.
And if they do,that's the beginning of distatorship with fake opposition.many israeli's will wake up to that and find out they are stuck like prisoners in their own house.

Sorry but in no way. 345 new deaths in last 24 hours. 3526 new cases of infection in last 24 hours (day before it was 3233). Mortality is 7,9%...
This will take months, probably even years, for recovery. And that's where we should be extremely cautious because authoritarian neo-liberals and globalists will use this opportunity to prolong and normalise harsh measures taken to deal with the crisis. As it happened with 9/11 and Patriot's Act, for example...
EDIT: And, of course, that's just my take

Re: #49 - Main news thread - conflicts, terrorism, crisis from around the globe
thanks for the numbers.
It makes my point,and it only took a few weeks.
the rise is less from day to day percentage wise.
the rise was 12,5 % from day to day ,the lowest rise since the outbreak,
the curve is flattening doesn't mean it's going down ,it's just rising slower,
that's what happenend in china and happens in every outbreak ,
as soon as the curve of added cases per day goes down ,the underlying curve is down.
Statistics ABC.
Still the recovery fromthe mess this fake pandemia is causing will take years.
we're in the middle of a reset,and every country can make it's own decision on what they want to do with their popualtion while they are legaly locked up.
I think you will be fine in Czech Rep..like in most eastern euorpean countries.
but places like germany,france,holland ,belgium, france ,italy spain,and outside EU there's GB US,Israel and australia are gonna be HELL for those that are not enslaved enough..
I think there will be many peeps getting a visit from the govt these coming days and weeks.
Edit: This is ofcourse just my weird brain and most likely rubbish,

Nethanyahu "stay home ,unless necessary"
'necessary' is ofcourse what the secret service considers necessary ,because everybody is under 24/7 phone-surveilance.
Effectively all israeli citizens are locked up in their houses now.

_________________
The main reason for my wish to change this society is that so many human skills have no chance to come to fruition. Instead they are used in a really sick way so that people are maintaining their own suffering from wars, hunger and illness. But it can not be changed "top-down", only in some kind of "grassroots revolution" or better "evolution" where more and more people work together to get rid of TPTB (whoever that is).
No need for a "big event" but development. One of my ideas to reach it: Don't play "their" games - don't use "their" rules - don't think in the box of "their" paradigms.
It's more "refuse" than "resist" - without too much ideology. You don't need to know much about "what's going on behind the curtains", it's mainly to create your own rules together with like-minded people.
That is what I mean with "I'm on the side of the people".

tried again,no go.
strangely enough when i try to log in the color of the cadre to fill in my username is lightbrowm ,I don't remember that being before.
if for whatever reason I disappear here: I managed to get into my twitter again after half a year,and I'll continue writing there,untill they block me there.
read my tweets since yesterday,you'll see my ideas are not that outlandish anymore.
also quite coincidental a twitter account with many followers has taken my old tweets from 2013 about the (S)words and spread them all over the place in a readers thread.
5 days ago.
This person thinks that my tweets have to be studied because I've been predicting outragious stuff for 7 years and most ,if not all ,turns out to be correct ,and the rest of my predictions are playing out right now.
Dunno if that's good or not.
I also decided to make a pinned tweet with a link to zodlike,so peeps can come over and read and particpate.
Maybe that 's the problem,have a look yourself
Here's my twitteraccount shachalnur@shachalnur
https://twitter.com/shachalnur
And today i can't log in anymore,well you know ,it happened many times before.
As long as nobody reads my stuff it's okay,but if it attracts too much attention strange things start to happen.
i actually had a very long email exchange in 2013 with the boss of veterans today, a 100% CIA operation, and he explained me that his site could not be a platform for my theories ,because my ideas and visions are 'problematic'.
There was too much stuff there that i can't know without direct access to to this info ,and that makes me a potential problem,agent spy or whatever ,he said.
so he wished me well and had to silence me.
You can still find all of my writings on veterans today in the period late 2012 early 2013,under the name shachalnur.
All my theories are there,and they are still the same,never had to change a thing.
Well ,enough babbling.
if for some reason I leave,you can contact me on twitter,
Whatever happens i love you all ,and that includes ofcourse Zod ,
i think he's a great and brave guy,and his work is extremey important for the future.
Hopefully my contributions to this site will be saved and usefull in the future.
i've always tried to write in order for my ideas to be documented.
i think the chance I am correct is maybe 1%,but that's a huge possibility nowadays,because most don't have a clue anymore.

Former head of infamous Khiam Prison acquitted of charges https://is.gd/Xw7qFb #Lebanon
It is a guy, who tortured prisoners during US/Zionist occupation of Lebanon. This only shows that it's better to execute such subhuman collaborators right on the spot than wait for "justice to be done"...

I don't think people realise how serious things are in Iran. WHO just admitted 3.5 million people could die in Iran if sanctions by America aren't lifted Iran is in the same position as Germany was before WW2 where 100s of thousands of Germans were dying because of sanctions I think Iran has no choice but launch a massive war with its allies in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Gaza in order to put massive pressure on the international community to help Iran and deliver the medicine it paid for.
