Finding (OR Creating!) the Liberty Movement in Your Community and Turning Awareness Into Action While Having a Blast!

The Santa Cruz Voluntaryists helped expose empty hospitals in what the LA Times called “The Epi-Center of Covid in California” forcing the takedown of hospital tents when our exposes went viral in the community. The group helped to reopen the beaches (and local businesses!) during the economic warfare and scam of “The Covid” through peaceful civil disobedience including beach parties, liberty bonfires, and free hug events mocking the local “government” causing Santa Cruz’s health officer, Dr. Gail Newel, to tell the LA Times: “It’s become impossible for law enforcement to continue to enforce the closures…People are not willing to be governed anymore in that regard.” When a local group gave Gail Newell an award for the lockdowns, the Santa Cruz Voluntaryists pulled a trailer up to the event for a pop up concert featuring the Funky Fathers of Liberty where they cranked up their song:“Gail to Jail” when Gail arrived and the event was going on inside while other members distributed information on the harmfulness of the Covid “vaccines.” Videos of their peaceful civil disobedience including maskless “Cash drops” at Traitor Joe’s grocery store generated MILLIONs of views helping to shut down the economic warfare of the plandemic and showing the outsized impact a single freedom group can make.

NEW STUDY: Advanced Alzheimer’s Patient Regained Speech, Memory, and Bladder Control After a Single Psilocybin Dose

An 80-year-old woman with advanced Alzheimer’s — who had barely spoken for years — experienced rapid and sustained improvement after taking 5g of psilocybin mushrooms.

By Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

A newly published case report in Frontiers in Neuroscience describes a remarkable and unexpected clinical response in an 80-year-old woman with advanced Alzheimer’s disease following a single high-dose psilocybin intervention.

The patient had lived with Alzheimer’s disease for approximately 10 years and experienced severe functional decline over the preceding five years. According to the report, she had become largely monosyllabic, demonstrated profound cognitive impairment, chronic urinary incontinence, impaired mobility, dysphagia, executive dysfunction, and severe reduction in spontaneous communication and emotional engagement.

After receiving a single 5g oral dose of psilocybin-containing mushrooms (Enigma strain), the patient reportedly experienced rapid and sustained functional improvement across multiple domains.

The Israeli Attack on the USS Liberty by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts

Today is the 59th Anniversary of the Israeli Attack on the USS Liberty

The USS Liberty was a US surveillance ship that was attacked by the Israelis and then betrayed by US President Lyndon Johnson who was prepared to let Israel sink the ship to cover up their crime. This was a picture taken before the attack and the picture below after the attack.

Introduction

For a number of years Admiral Thomas Moorer, former Chief of Naval Operations and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was my colleague at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Tom, after whom the F-14 Tomcat fighter is named, expressed to me his concern that US politics and foreign policy was in the clutches of Israel and that America was being led into war with the Arab Middle East. Admiral Moorer and the State Department and Pentagon at that time did not think that war with the Arab countries served the interests of the United States. However, Admiral Moorer thought that the war could not be avoided because of the hold Israel has over the US government.

Andrew P. Napolitano on the torture-linked confession of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed in a lawless system of brutality that profoundly violates natural rights, the Constitution’s guarantee of due process as well as federal law.

America’s longest current criminal prosecution is in its 15th year, on its fifth judge and still has no trial date.

The defendants are Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and four alleged mass-murder co-conspirators. Mohammed is the second person that the government has characterized as the ringleader of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Originally, the feds had labeled Osama bin Laden as the ringleader. Yet, rather than charging and arresting bin Laden, in order to keep him quiet it sent a team of Navy Seals to his home in Pakistan to murder him and his wife and their children.

US Boat Strikes Turn US Service Members Into Murders Now Seeking Preemptive Pardons From Trump

President Donald Trump could preemptively pardon service members for acts committed during his term.

Etienne Note: One of the saddest consequences of “government,” statism, and the hidden curriculum of unquestioning obedience slipped to kids in the organized crime government’s mandatory schools, scouting programs, and basic training is many are turned into murderers for not having the courage to ignore obviously immoral orders like killing people in boats without a trial or even an investigation.

By Cybele Mayes-Osterman / USA TODAY

The U.S. military has killed more than 200 people in strikes on boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific in the past nine months in what legal experts and former military lawyers broadly agree constitute illegal military orders that service members should refuse to follow.

While there is no record of troops refusing to follow these orders, at least a handful of service members grappling with these questions have sought legal advice, according to anonymous hotlines for U.S. military members.

Google’s New CAPTCHA Plans Will Create a Two-Tier Internet Only Accessible to Those With ‘Approved’ Devices

Never mind Fancy Bear, or the NSO Group, the biggest threat to the open internet today is from the Big Tech corporations on which it has come to depend.

By Dr R P

Never mind Fancy Bear, or the NSO Group, the biggest threat to the open internet today is from the Big Tech corporations on which it has come to depend. For what else are we to conclude given that Google appears to be working on a system to lock large parts of the internet behind a new form of CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) designed not to tell apart humans from bots, but instead to make an un-person of anyone who doesn’t own an ‘approved’ Android or Apple device.

Google’s reCAPTCHA service is used by a wide variety of websites, many of them independent of Google in every other regard, to limit incoming traffic or data entered into contact forms. It is intended to prevent automated software from accessing these resources and using them to send spam messages or flood websites with denial of service attacks. You have probably encountered it when told to identify all the bicycles in a grid of images.

PepsiCo Now Runs 41 Driverless Trucks Hauling Doritos

PepsiCo is now running 41 driverless trucks across Arizona, Texas, and Arkansas, making it the first major U.S. consumer-goods company to disclose large-scale autonomous trucking on public roads.

by Daniel Pereira

The snack giant just became the first major U.S. consumer-goods company to put autonomous trucks on public roads at scale, and there’s nobody in the driver’s seat.

PepsiCo is now running 41 driverless trucks across Arizona, Texas, and Arkansas, making it the first major U.S. consumer-goods company to disclose large-scale autonomous trucking on public roads. The push, built with autonomous-truck startup Gatik, is driven by a hunt for reliability and lower labor costs. On-time arrival hit 99% after weather and traffic are stripped out.

Picture a 26,000-pound box truck stacked with Doritos and Frito-Lay chips pulling out of a Phoenix distribution center, headed for a Walmart four miles away. It merges onto the highway, takes its turns, never breaks the speed limit. Totally normal, except there’s nobody behind the wheel. That’s not a demo. That’s Tuesday.

Total U.S. bankruptcy filings, which include filings made by both businesses and individuals, rose by 7 percent in May on a year-to-year basis.

Individual bankruptcy filings rose by 8 percent during the one-year period. Although overall commercial filings were down marginally by 0.1 percent, bankruptcy filings made by small businesses jumped by 36 percent, according to a June 5 statement from the American Bankruptcy Institute.

“The May data reflects a continued but measured uptick in bankruptcy activity, particularly among small businesses,” said Michael Hunter, vice president of Epiq AACER, the company that provided the bankruptcy data.
