Yuma Chica,

That's awesome!

I did something like that once. I made this message on my work phone, literally a few days after starting -- it sounded like I was taking a bong hit. I was really just blowing bubbles into a McDonald's cup with sweet tea in it.

I said something like, "Hey man... 'bubble, bubble, bubble' You've reached Jeff. 'bubble, bubble, bubble' Uhh, you should know what to do next 'bubble, bubble, bubble'." Then I did a bunch of fake coughing, and it ended.

I had my boss call it and he freaked out! "You have to delete that immediately!" He said that while laughing though, I explained to him that nobody even has my phone number. It was a brand new company cell phone, and I hadn't even called anyone on it yet. Also, I didn't mention the company name or anything.

I put a regular message on it a few minutes later, I was never going to leave it. 🤣😂

Great idea! I used to have an answering machine and one of my cats slept on it a lot. I don't know how Digby did it but it recorded me talking to him for about five minutes. I always talk to my cats. It played as the greeting but I didn't find out for about a week. My doctor's office called to remind me of my appointment and got to listen to five minutes that! Thankfully, she told me. It was pretty embarrassing at the time because I don't just talk to my cats - I talk to them a LOT.

Stegiel,

I've heard similar theories about the way that the Nazis felt with regards the people they were killing in camps. They were led to believe that the people they were killing were like animals. They were less than human, or subhuman. Once the prisoners were sufficiently dehumanized, the people killing them felt like they were mercy killing.

They believed that they were "putting them down" not murdering them. Because those people were never going to survive anyway, they were suffering, or would suffer under the "new global system."

However, I don't know that the same sentiment is at play as you describe it, at least not this time around. The people who will be perpetuating the killing won't necessarily know that they are doing it. They are just cogs in a machine. The people at the top know what's going on, but the people carrying out the orders most likely do not know what they are doing, and won't -- until it's too late.

This entire ordeal is much more subversive than it was with the Nazis. Those who are planning to cull the population don't want those being culled knowing it. Probably because it's not just a people group this time around. It's not Genocide in the traditional sense, because it's not limited to one geographic location, or a particular race or nationality of people.

We can only hope that more people will catch on in time.

Your research points to the continuity of the Breakaway Civilization.
In other words, after Blake, there is a whole class of men whose whole delight is in destroying. These men are transnational but the centers are in the West, New York, London, etc. The Globalist impulse arises from the need of the British Empire graft pyramid to survive. Elites therefore promote a civilization for the base and for the elite. Elites use Technique and become the Technique they use. A great simplification is Right Brain and Left Brain. The Right brain is the ground for the Left. The Left brain interprets existence from grounds created by the Right brain. By way again of great simplification the direction of elites in the West is oriented to the Parousia. However the Left brain ideologies of our hour interpret the Second Coming in an entirely secular way-entirely Left brain-and so create Utopian disaster thinking humanity Left brain ideology has the only answer. So coupling a baseline Christian utopia to corporate profits arises in a Schizophrenic post-modern population. Planned extermination is then mercy killing.

STOP!
The majority of Muslims are ignorant of the foundation of Islam and they would never know about it, unless they could learn about it! They will get that chance when they are told about it by Christian Apologists, like David Wood.It will take about 70 years for the old ignorant Muslims to die out and be replaced with educated Muslims. Just look at Afghanistan! The one thing they dread is EDUCATION and they want to keep their people ignorant!
When Irish Catholics went to America in their millions, in the 1800s, they were hated by Protestants and this hatred was still there when JFK ran for President.
One of the greatest President in American history, was IRISH AMERICAN.

The Internet was to be one of the greatest inventions UNTIL the CIA, FBI, NSA etc censored it and controlled it.
The ENEMIES of TRUTH don't want people to be educated.

I have studied the 3 Abrahamic Cults - JUDAISM - ROMANISM - ISLAM and all 3 have drenched the earth with the blood of their victims.

Raquel Okyay,

I'm going to update the article with this little tidbit.

https://amgreatness.com/2022/05/30/whisteblowers-lawyer-pfizer-got-away-with-vaccine-fraud-because-government-was-co-conspirator/

Pfizer has asked a U.S. court to throw out a whistleblower’s lawsuit on the basis that the company can’t be guilty of fraud, abuse, and protocol violations in its COVID Vaccine clinical trials because its contract with the U.S. government allowed them to skirt regulations and federal laws that typically apply to government contracts.

In other words, Pfizer was allegedly able to make false statements to the government, and lie about the safety and efficacy of its product, “because the government was in on it with them!” according to Robert Barnes, the lead lawyer in the case.

Max Headroom,

There are a few different sources on this, but they vary greatly. I don't think that many of them are focused on the idea that this is planned.

I believe it's planned because of the timing. Look at all the other crazy things going on right now! Also, you must consider, as I did in the post, why are they so invested in this now when the housing market is at one of it's highest points historically? Wouldn't it make sense to "invest" when the market is low? But that wasn't happening as much. Now that the market is high, I'm getting a few calls a day for some company offering on my house. That's NEVER happened before. Not like it is now.

OGRE / (Jeff) [Member]
Max Headroom,

The short answer to that is NO. Because Dominion holds that information VERY close to their chest.

The sheer fact that the people (election officials) can't validate the software -- means that it is NOT validated. Unless they are allowed to see the source code, and determine that there is no issue with it, how can they verify it?

Similarly, the elections officials don't even have the admin passwords for the election machines. THAT'S unacceptable...

Well, we know that a lot of people died and it was listed as COVID incorrectly. These are people who died between the age range of 18-64 where cause of death was NOT COVID. So, the question is why was there an increase?

I believe the increase was most likely due to vaccine related complications. Because that also happens to be the age range where people seem to have the most issues with vaccine complications.

Bubba,

Don't misunderstand. I don't think that the vaccine itself causes COVID, but I do think that it damages people's immune systems making them more susceptible to infection.

You might want to take a peek at this post as well. A lab scientist explains how he tested COVID swabs in the Flu analyzer and they came up positive for Flu. There's some more there too.

Tom Neff,

I don't know if they are blocking things or not. I know that some of the stuff I've posted didn't show, but that was usually CFP page that didn't update for hours anyway. Something else was probably wrong.

I know that the software that many of the companies use is not the best either. I know of one program that used to block "bad" words, but was Boolean based with wildcards. So if the word "Compass" was used, it would flag the word "ass," because it wasn't looking for complete words.

Also I know that they block things when you put URL links. I have put links here to my site and have been blocked before. I think that there's a whitelist for links, to try and stop people from promoting their site.

This site "winduprubberfinger.com" is not monetized though, I use it more as a long-term memory of things that I've seen in the news. And it's fun to interact with different people and hear different ideas.

I filter comments as well, but generally I limit it to threatening people, or something that could get someone in serious trouble. Plus I have to screen comments because otherwise this would be an entire site of overseas ads!

I think they are running out of time to push the vaccines. They are also running out of lies.

It won't be long before the majority of people don't want the vaccines, and those who received them are going to regret it.

It's obvious to most people that this vaccine effort has nothing to do with public safety. They are allowing hundreds of thousands of people to walk across the border without screening, and shipping them all over the country. If public safety, and the spread of disease were a concern, you would close the border. They can't have it both ways, and people are catching on.

It also seems that the media heads pick the kind of people with thousands of skeletons in their closet. That way, if they do start to feel like something is wrong and try to do the right thing, they will expose them to public.

It's the same way with most politicians. Both parties rarely put up candidates that are deviants in some way or another. People they can blackmail. Look at Cuomo, they're going after him now for something that he did years ago. Not because they care, but with him out office, people will stop poking around about the nursing home deaths.

OGRE / (Jeff) [Member]
Linda,

I agree! The main factor in both cases, today and back in the 70s -- the push. Every time that the government has pushed something like this, the outcome has been bad. The Swine Flu was never going to reach, epidemic much less pandemic status, because there were too few people with it.

The fact that they are trying to "sell" the "vaccines" to the public is all you need to know that something is wrong.

The narrative is failing. If this were a legitimate "pandemic" people wouldn't need to be reminded constantly! People truly would be scared, not cowed into submission...

While it's true that good will prevail, it doesn't mean that a lot of bad things aren't going to come first.

The fact that these people are pretty much using the book of Revelation as their playbook it VERY unsettling to say the least. Even for those who do not follow Christ, there can only be two possibilities. Either they are literally using the book of Revelation as a template, or what the Bible says is true! I believe the Bible is true.

How else could it be that the Bible would forecast the types of controls that they are trying to implement now?

It's time for EVERYONE to wake up if you ask me.
