But pharma saw any sickness as an opportunity: to push a v@ccine on the masses.

A CDC employee was asked about why they pushed Measles so hard.

“I reply with the same answer that Hillary used when asked why he wished to climb Mt. Everest. Because it is there.”

Forgot About Ceuta? These Latest Videos Look Pretty Third World. - Aaron Hanscom

It's been 15 days since tens of thousands of migrants from Morocco began flooding across the border into the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta.
Because the shocking images of the influx of mostly men of military age faded from international headlines after a few days, the casual news observer outside of Spain might think the situation in Ceuta is under control.

In fact, the most recent videos coming out of the Spanish city are in some ways even more alarming than those documenting the initial invasion.
I use that word "invasion" not only because Spanish politicians like Santiago Abascal of the conservative Vox party have, but because that's how so many residents of Ceuta are describing what's happening — and because that description increasingly reflects the reality in the city...

Undercover video shows election workers confirming open door to vast election fraud * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Undercover video shows election workers confirming open door to vast election fraud * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:

A new undercover video from Jame O'Keefe and a new "Citizen Justice League" has revealed election workers in Minnesota, on primary election day, confirming their door is wide open for possibly vast election fraud.

It's because of their rules that allow someone to come in and if he is registered to vote, to "vouch" for the identities of up to eight additional people who are not registered – but in fact immediately are made "voters."

On social media, O'Keefe, who just days earlier had revealed evidence of voters voting twice in Michigan, explained he was told, "You're the ID" for extra voters who are not registered and apparently do not display identification.

Watch what they do when in total control!

American "public education" is child abuse!-----Texas teacher Darius Williams breaks down in tears during class after his senior students struggled to read, write

Darius Williams, a teacher for Houston Independent School District’s Wheatley High School, said he couldn’t get through the first class of the second day of school before his students’ poor literacy skills were too much for him.: - Nicholas McEntyre

“I just finished a three-hour class, and I literally broke down in the middle of class,” Williams said in an Instagram video during his lunch break on Tuesday.

Williams, a New Education System (NES) Career and Technical Education (CTE) staffer, said he gave his class full of seniors two paragraphs to read and asked them to complete another sentence he had practically filled out for them, but was left stunned when they couldn’t finish the task.
“I basically completed the sentence for them, he said. “These are 17- and 18-year-old kids, and they couldn’t fill in four words. Four words!” exclaimed Williams...

Bragging??!!

I Serve An Awesome God A Reflection of the Heart - Jason Jacoby

...As I exited, a saw a man in the gaps between the pumps near the trash bin and couldn't quite make out what he was doing, but he was minding his own business.

Then I saw the man clearly.
His t-shirt was missing the left side exposing his chest and his shoes looked like mine after my Aussie chewed them.

His dark dirty skin was leathery.
The other patrons chose to ignore him.

It's technically illegal to panhandle in Dallas but no one pays attention to the regulations.

I was really short on cash only having about $10-12, but decided to give him three.

That's what the inner voice said. I approached him and said " hey buddy, you look like you could use a few bucks"
At first he looked confused but he took it and then pushed it back staring at me with piercing hazel eyes. He said," could you get me a coffee? they won't let me inside "...

Greed drove the entire, hideous con!-----Hospitals Profit From Child Mutilation: A Critical Look

“Wolves in White Coats: How Doctors and Hospitals Pushed and Profited from the Fraud of ‘Gender Medicine.’” - Pedro Rodriguez

President Donald Trump’s administration has identified hundreds of medical institutions that turned children into lifelong patients through gender-related “sex-rejecting procedures for minors,” according to a new report from the Department of Health and Human Services.

The effort marks yet another move by the administration against medical institutions that provide so-called gender-affirming care, as well as the “fraudulent insurance coding” that was used to pay for it...
The report marks the first time the federal agency has analyzed the financial motives that push hospitals to advocate for such practices, sometimes without patients’ informed consent...

They're an integral part of China's broader soft power strategy aimed at infiltrating America's classrooms," Reagan Dugan, the director of Defending Education’s higher education initiative, told Fox News Digital. "Disclosure requirements need to catch up. American students and families deserve to know if their school is partnering with a CCP operation."
