“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
CDC Foundation 2019 Contributors – Note the number of pharmaceutical companies that contribute along with the WHO. Naturally, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is also a contributor. Why does a government bureaucracy have a foundation to help with its funding?
World Health Organization (WHO) – The information is top 20 contributors for 2018-2019. The US is listed here. In a previous post, you will recall, I noted that President Trump stopped the US funding to WHO. Of note, one of the organizations that contribute is GAVI. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is also listed.
Global Vaccine Alliance (GAVI) – These are the current contributors. The usual donors are listed. It is interesting that Mastercard is a donor, especially in light of the fact that Mastercard is also a part of the ID2020 organization. Additionally, LDS Charities is an interesting supporter as well as Lions Cub International Foundation. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a founding partner along with WHO!! Finally, as I also noted in a previous post, while President Trump stopped the funding to WHO, he turned around and funded GAVI. As you can see in the WHO paragraph above, GAVI is a contributor to WHO. A shell game? Also, as previously stated, one of GAVI’s strategies is to “Shape markets for vaccines and other immunisation products.” Why does the US government have an interest in this? Why is the taxpayer required to assist private companies to make billions in profits while having immunity from litigation from those damaged by their products?
CEPI (a Norwegian Association) No translation of CEPI was found – CEPI was launched in 2017 at The World Economic Forum in Davos. They have a Joint Coordination Group including WHO.
IRS – The Internal Revenue Service was brought into being by the supposed ratifying of the 16th Amendment to the US Constitution, 3 February 1913. I know that “our” representatives are supposed to know the US Constitution and have actually made an oath to support and defend that document. This amendment directly conflicts with Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution concerning what constituted a tax. This amendment, along with The Federal Reserve Act, signed into law at then end of 1913 by President Wilson, allowed a private bank (The Federal Reserve) the ability to create money separate from the US Treasury and for Congress to borrow as much as the Federal Reserve would loan them. Until President Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard, the Congress was somewhat curtailed in their spending. By that time, however, Congress had gotten into many areas not authorized by the Constitution. Some of those areas are: education, foreign aid, health, and many others. The “general welfare” clause in Article 1, Section 8 is often quoted for their foray into those areas; however, a quick look into the Federalist Papers and Anti-Federalist Papers will show the clause was never written to cover everything, only those things discussed in Article 1, Section 8.
Have you ever been able to dictate where your tax money goes? Neither have I.
Congress has even gone further by buying into the Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). MMT (also known as Modern Money Trees) supposes that deficits do not matter and that inflation is good because inflation makes the money owed worth less than the money borrowed. This theory has allowed the politicians to decouple the deficits from tax revenue. In fact, this year alone, the Congress plans to spend more than the country’s GDP, which is greater than the amount of taxes ever collected. So, the obvious question is: If my tax $$ won’t make a dent in the deficit and the Congress is not willing to curb their appetite to spend, preferring to use the borrowed money to pass laws that restrict freedom and buy votes, why would I want to pay my taxes AND why should the politicians care if I didn’t?
ASIDE: An attack on the 10th Amendment was launched during the same year. The 17th Amendment made senatorial elections by popular vote rather than elected by the state legislatures. The final socialistic blow to the US Constitution came at the end of the year. According to Wikipedia, “The Federal Reserve Act was passed by the 63rd United States Congress and signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson on December 23, 1913. The law created the Federal Reserve System, the central banking system of the United States.” So, a lot of mischief was conducted during the year 1913.
“Fight and you may die. Run, and you’ll live… at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin’ to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take… our freedom!” – Mel Gibson as William Wallace in the movie “Braveheart”
