Dangers of Digital ID - Australian perspective

The Digital ID Bill threatens our basic privacy rights, and today, it’s being introduced into the House of Representatives. If it passes the House of Representatives, it becomes law… and then it’s not just your personal data on the line but also our cherished freedoms.

Given that the government has the numbers in the House of Reps, the only way to stop the Digital ID Bill is to convince marginal Labor MPs to take a stand against it.

Why would they? Good question! As marginal seat holders, these MPs will need to show voters that they not only listen to their voters but act on their voters’ concerns in order to keep their seats. By opposing the Digital ID Bill, they will be showing that they listen and act.

Let’s remind them who they serve — us!

P.S. Once signed, spread the word, every count matters! This is our privacy and liberty at stake!

Your privacy may be history within a week!

Our federal politicians are on the brink of launching a monstrous mechanism — the Digital ID Bill.

After ramming their Digital ID Bill through the Senate without debate, the Australian Government is wasting no time in getting their Digital Identity scheme through the House of Representatives.

Why should you care? Because if it’s passed by the House of Reps it becomes law. And that doesn’t just put your privacy at risk, it’s also a blow to your civil liberties!

Our reasons for this final petition to stop the Digital ID Bill are manifold.

The Australian Government’s decision to force a Digital Identity system on our nation opens up a Pandora’s box of privacy invasion, identity theft risks, and corrodes freedom.

Worse still, it paves the way for the ones on the top to watch and control while those on the lower echelons are monitored and controlled!

 Let me break down the real agenda behind this Orwellian nightmare that is the Digital ID Bill:

• Invasion of Privacy: This Digital ID system is a Trojan horse for government and big business to invade your privacy. They want to track you through biometrics—your face, your fingerprints. Once they have this data, who knows what they'll do with it? This is about putting every one of us under the microscope.
• Surveillance State: With this system, they can monitor everything—where you go, what you do. It’s the ultimate surveillance state, and it’s about to happen before your very eyes.
• Tyrannical Overreach: This isn’t just about digital IDs; it’s about expanding government control over our lives. They’re eroding our freedoms, and if we don’t stand up now, what will be left?
• Social Credit System: This is the first step towards a social credit system, folks. Today, it's a digital ID; tomorrow, it's controlling where you can go, what you can buy, and monitoring every move you make—just like in Communist China.
• Corporate Snooping: Not only does the government get your data, but corporations do too. They're in cahoots, trading your privacy for profit. This is big brother in the corporate suit, watching everything you do.
• Loss of Control: Say goodbye to control over your own information. The government and corporations will manipulate how your data is used, without real accountability. Once they have your data, they won't let go.
• Hacker’s Paradise: By centralising all our sensitive data, the government is basically painting a giant bullseye on our personal information. This makes it a goldmine for hackers and cybercriminals. Your most personal details could be compromised in a heartbeat!
• Compulsory Service Access: They say it’s not compulsory, but soon, you won’t be able to access essential services without this digital ID. It’s coercion, pure and simple.
• Technological Discrimination: If you're not tech-savvy, you're out of luck. This system will marginalize anyone who can't keep up with digital trends, creating a new class of digital outcasts. That isn’t just unfair; it’s un-Australian.
• Nobody Asked for This: Did you ever wake up thinking, 'I wish the government could track me more easily'? No, nobody wants this. It’s being forced on us, without real public demand or consultation.
• Globalist Takeover: The World Economic Forum and the United Nations are behind this. They don’t care about national sovereignty. They want global control, and this digital ID is but one of their weapons.

These aren’t just concerns; they are red flags of an impending dystopia where our freedoms are traded for the illusion of security. We must resist this digital prison before it’s too late!

Click here to sign the petition! Help marginal government MPs in the House of Representatives understand the perils of a Digital ID scheme and urge them to make a stand to protect the privacy of Australians.

But here's what we've got going for us. The government MPs we are reaching out to are from what they call "marginal" electorates. With support for the government waning, these politicians must stand up, speak out and work hard for their voters in order to get re-elected.

Taking a stand and speaking out against an unpopular Digital ID Bill will be an easy way for them to show that they’ve got their voters’ best interests at heart. These marginal government MPs are our best bet to thwart the Digital ID Bill or facilitate its delay at the very least.

Imagine, on one hand a society crushed under the weight of Orwellian control, while on the other a society that actually values the inviolable space of individual privacy. We hold the power to direct the scales towards the latter. It's a fight we can't afford to lose!

But the hourglass is fast running out of sand. It’s up to us to make some noise and make it loud!

Thanks for all you do,

George Christensen and the team at CitizenGO

P.S. The clock is ticking on our privacy and liberties with each moment this Digital ID Bill edges closer to becoming law — this is a call to action for every Australian who values freedom! Sign the petition now, spread the word, and urge your representatives to oppose this Orwellian overreach before our rights are irretrievably lost.

Digital ID could link with ‘Misinformation’ Bill, Digital Currency

Senator Warns Digital ID could link with ‘Misinformation’ Bill, Digital Currency
Thousands have gathered at rallies across major capital cities to protest Australia’s impending national digital ID.
By Monica O’Shea
5/6/2024

Fears of a social credit system in Australia have been relayed by political figures during multiple rallies against the digital ID on the weekend.

Events in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane on May 5 were attended by thousands who opposed the impending national digital ID legislation.

The protests come after the Australian Senate passed the Digital ID Bill in late March, with support from senators from the centre-left Labor Party, the Australian Greens, Jacqui Lambie, and independents.

The bill establishes a legislative framework for Australians to start using the new program that can help with identity verification with both government and businesses. It will work in conjunction with the MyGov platform that already links to government services like Centrelink, Medicare, and the Australian Tax Office.

While the bill has passed the Senate, it is yet to be introduced into the House of Representatives where the Labor Party has the numbers.

John Ruddick said the national ID was akin to a Beijing-style “social credit” system, and that it would not remain voluntary for long.

“Now look it is going to at first seem wonderfully convenient to have this digital ID. You are not going to have to shuffle around your different 100 points of ID. It’s going to seem great to these people,” the libertarian politician said.

“And the truth is, that they have set up a turn key operation so they can have a Beijing style social credit system at the tip of a hat. And they are telling us, yeah we could do that but trust us, we won’t.”

The Libertarian parliamentarian warned that a future crisis could cause the shift.

“What will happen is, maybe for 10 years, maybe for 20 years it will all be fine, we won’t even think about it, and we’ve got this digital ID.

“And then there will be a crisis, an unprecedented crisis ... and then they'll say, look, this is an unprecedented crisis in the history of the world, we need these emergency temporary powers to bring in a social credit system. That’s what will happen,” he added.

My opening remarks at the anti-digital ID rally yesterday in Sydney were: 'My name is John Ruddick and I am a conspiracy theorist.'

Digital ID to Work in Tandem With Misinformation Bill, Digital Currency: Senator

Meanwhile, One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts speaking in Queensland, also raised fears of a social credit system.

In Mr. Roberts’ view, the digital ID bill was linking to several other programs and laws.

He flagged the identify verification bill, misinformation bill, the new payments platform the Reserve Bank was considering in digital currency, as well as the ongoing cashless push by banks.

“What you can see here is a framework for a social credit system. Complete control of every citizen of Australia. Whether you like it or not,” Mr. Roberts said.

 “The good news is they tell us it’s voluntary. Just like the COVID vaccine system. You just won’t be able to feed your kids if you don’t get it. You won’t be able to access government services, funds, travel, education ...”

The One Nation Senator, who voted against the legislation in the Senate, said the digital ID will allow the government to aggregate all data in one place and “sell it.”

“Now MyGov already links driver’s licences, passports, Medicare cards, [and] vaccination records. And now if it passes through the House of Representatives, if it passes, the digital ID will link all government data related to each person in this country,” he said.

“No privacy whatsoever. 350,000 federal public servants can see everything about you and me. Everything. And it will enable them to withhold services if you don’t comply. This is like a totalitarian regime.”

Mr. Roberts said the real kicker is future amendments of the digital ID to “pair the government’s data” with private sector data, including purchasing records, to create a “rich digital view of each and every citizen.”

Opening a Bank Account Could be Impacted: Senator
 

One issue discovered by centre-right Liberal Senator Alex Antic was how individuals could struggle to open bank accounts.

The senator pointed to section 74 of the legislation, which states that, “Creating and using a digital ID is voluntary.” However, under section 74 (2), a bank is not breaking the law if they require a digital identity for their online service, because customers can still go to bank branches.

He noted that online banking will become even more prominent in the years ahead, and the number of physical branches and ATM’s will “probably decrease.”

Mr. Antic also noted the digital ID regulator is able to grant an exemption to the voluntary nature of the legislation “if the digital ID regulator is satisfied that it is appropriate to do so.”

An Epoch Times analysis of the government’s explanatory memorandum (pdf) reveals that such exemptions could be granted if “the relying party is a small business,” as defined in the Privacy Act.

Another example is when the the party “provides services, or access to services, solely online,” as well as in emergencies.

Safe and Voluntary: Senator Katy Gallagher

Labor’s Finance Minister Katy Gallagher has reassured citizens that digital ID is safe and voluntary. “Digital ID makes it safer and easier for Australians to prove who they are online,” she said in a statement on March 27.

Businesses will be able to sign up to the digital ID system within two years under amendments that passed the Senate.

COVID Vaccine Harms Now Appearing In Some Medical Journals

Albeit baby steps towards exposing outright lies and propaganda...

The Tide Turns: Research On COVID Vaccine Harms, Once A Taboo Subject, Now Appearing In Some Medical Journals

by Tyler Durden

May 14, 2024

Authored by Joe Wang via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

When COVID-19 took the world by storm in early 2020, I mostly relied on reading Nature Medicine, The Lancet, and a few other medical journals to learn the latest on this new disease.

In March 2020, I read an article published in Nature Medicine titled “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2” with great interest. Written by California-based Scripps Institute’s Kristian Andersen and four other well-known professors, it said SARS-CoV-2 binds to human cells much better than any computer programs predicted, and concluded that “SARS-CoV-2 is not the product of purposeful manipulation.”

Having been a scientist with the world’s largest vaccine company for more than 10 years, I took issue with this claim.

In a May 2022 commentary titled “Pandemic Lessons Learned: Scientific Debate Silenced, With Deadly Consequences” I wrote: “If SARS-CoV-2 infects people better than your computer predicts, then the only conclusion you can draw is that your computer sucks. How did these world-renowned scientists get the basic logic so wrong? And how did the prestigious publication Nature Medicine not catch that? Did anyone even read the paper before publishing it, not to mention peer review it?”

The Andersen article’s conclusion, as it turned out, was a complete flip-flop on Andersen’s Jan. 31, 2020, email to Dr. Anthony Fauci, then the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), in which he wrote that “some of the features (potentially) look engineered,” referring to the coronavirus.

The Fauci emails were made public in June 2021 via Freedom of Information Act requests.

Nevertheless, the Nature Medicine paper became the authority on the origin of COVID. It essentially excluded the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Dr. Fauci from any responsibility for the emergence of the virus. Any attempts to investigate or explore other possibilities were labelled conspiracy theories.

Andersen, and the article itself, were the subject of a U.S. Congressional Hearing by the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic in June 2023. The debate on how COVID originated is still ongoing today.

The Lancet and the Daszak Statement

Andersen and Nature Medicine weren’t the only ones trying to please the CCP and Fauci.

On Feb. 18, 2020, The Lancet, another top medical journal, published a political statement with no science in it. It was organized by Peter Daszak from EcoHealth Alliance, which was the middleman for channeling Fauci’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) funds to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, according to a U.S. Congress report released on May 1 of this year.

The Daszak et al. statement dismissed as a conspiracy theory any suggestion that COVID was not of natural origin.

“We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin,” they wrote. “Conspiracy theories do nothing but create fear, rumours, and prejudice that jeopardize our global collaboration in the fight against this virus.”

The Tune Is Set

The Daszak statement, along with the Andersen article, set the tune for the officially accepted narrative. The narrative then expanded from “a natural origin of the virus” to “a COVID vaccine will flatten the curve and save the world.” Scientists, doctors, and journal editors who dared to challenge the narrative were cancelled and/or labelled conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxers.

It has been four years and six months since the world first encountered SARS-CoV-2. Despite the claims by famous scientists like Fauci and Andersen, and despite the countless efforts by top virologists and public health professionals, evidence that the virus originated naturally has not been found.

More and more people now believe that the virus was leaked or escaped from a laboratory at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which has been doing gain-of-function research on coronaviruses, and published such research in Nature Medicine in 2015, with NIH funding acknowledged.

The lab origin is no longer a conspiracy theory. The U.S. Energy Department and the FBI both now believe that the virus was more likely leaked from a lab than having developed naturally.

Encouraging Developments

Since the pandemic, The Epoch Times and NTD have been publishing documentary films on COVID origin and vaccine injuries. The first such documentary, Joshua Philipp’s “Tracking Down the Origin of the Wuhan Coronavirus,” was viewed over 100 million times on different platforms combined. However, such reports are rarely seen in other legacy media.

It has also been a taboo subject for scientific research and publication, but that may be starting to change.

Recently, I wrote a commentary about a new paper by five Japanese scientists that was published on Cureus, a peer-reviewed medical journal owned by the Springer Nature Group, the same company that owns Nature and Nature Medicine.

The scientists analyzed data collected from the entire 123 million Japanese population and concluded that the majority of the 115,799 excess deaths in 2022 was not due to COVID infection but rather vaccination, in particular the third COVID shot.

I was pleasantly surprised that a once-taboo subject was now published in a peer-reviewed medical journal, especially a member journal of the Springer Nature Group.

In another positive development, this month the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules (IJBM) published a paper titled “Review: N1-methyl-pseudouridine: Friend or foe of cancer?” linking a key ingredient in the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine with cancer development.

IJBM is owned by the Dutch academic publishing company Elsevier, which also owns renowned publications like The Lancet, Cell, and ScienceDirect.

May the Force Be With the Editors-in-Chief

In the spring of 2022, when more scientists started to challenge the accepted narratives and seek the truth, I co-wrote the commentary “May the Force Be With Them: Scientists Fight Back.”

At that time, these brave scientists needed all the help they could get. For example, when a journal published a well-researched, well-written, and fact-based scientific paper on the safety concerns of the mRNA vaccines, the editor-in-chief of that journal was ousted.

The journal was Food and Chemical Toxicology, another Elsevier publication, and the editor-in-chief was Dr. José Luis Domingo.

Two years later, I’m optimistic that the IJBM editors-in-chief won’t face the same treatment as Dr. Domingo.

Why? I believe the tide has turned.

A recent New York Times article on COVID vaccine injuries is also an encouraging sign. It cites the Food and Drug Administration’s former acting commissioner Dr. Janet Woodcock as saying the injuries are “serious” and “life-changing,” and “should be taken seriously.”

“I’m disappointed in myself,” she added. “I did a lot of things I feel very good about, but this is one of the few things I feel I just didn’t bring it home.”

Among the reported injured is the editor-in-chief of the journal Vaccine, Dr. Gregory Poland. He has been suffering from tinnitus since his first shot. The Centers for Disease Control didn’t take his report on his personal experience seriously. He told the NY Times that he did not “get any sense of movement (from the CDC).”

“If they have done studies (on vaccine injury), those studies should be published,” Dr. Poland added.

The journal Vaccine is also an Elsevier publication, and as the editor-in-chief, Dr. Poland is well positioned to offer his encouragement on vaccine injury studies.

Yes, I believe the tide has turned.

However, as of today, the Daszak statement is still on The Lancet website and the Andersen paper is still on Nature Medicine.

I wonder when the Lancet and Nature Medicine will have the courage to retract them? And when will these two eminent journals start publishing research on COVID vaccine injuries?

Coming ‘Wave’ of ‘Unprecedented Deaths’ Among Vaxxed

Bill Gates Insider Blows Whistle on Coming ‘Wave’ of ‘Unprecedented Deaths’ Among Vaxxed
Frank Bergman
May 4, 2024

A world-renowned scientist, who previously served as Bill Gates’s vaccine specialist, has blown the whistle to warn of a coming “wave of morbidity” and “mortality” among the Covid mRNA vaccinated.

Former Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation scientist and vaccine expert Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche has warned that populations around the world will soon experience a “completely unprecedented” plunge.

Bossche predicts that the death toll will be “up to 30-40% in highly vaccinated countries.”

The top scientists raised the alarm during an interview with vaccine expert and investigator Steve Kirsch.

He also notes that Covid is impossible to tackle with mRNA injections because it will always continue to mutate.

“The mutations are no longer restricted to spike protein, which indicates enhanced activity of CTLs (cytotoxic T cells) to diminish viral infectiousness,” Bossche explained Kirsch.

“And that CTL activity is responsible for the decline of T cells that in fact boost the neutralizing antibodies that prevent virulence.”

For this same reason, Bossche has previously warned that it was a mistake to roll out a vaccine for public use in the middle of a pandemic.

He notes that vaccinating large portions of the public will only make viruses stronger, rather than defeating them.

Bossche explained that waves of serious illness are increasing in developed, highly-vaccinated countries.

“Ultimately, this evolution would inevitably lead to the emergence of a highly virulent variant that would cause waves of hospitalizations and severe disease in highly vaccinated countries – of course, always the same, only in highly vaccinated countries,” Bossche stressed.

The expert then warned that these highly vaccinated countries will soon see “unprecedented” numbers of deaths.

“In my humble opinion, what we will see is something completely, completely unprecedented in terms of the magnitude of the wave of morbidity and unfortunately mortality that we will see,” he said.

Kirsch asked Bossche for specifics about what this “completely unprecedented” future phenomenon would entail.

He responded by predicting that over one-third of all people will die as a direct result of the Covid mRNA injection rollout.

“In some of the highly vaccinated populations … I would not be surprised that we will be dealing with serious decimation of the population, in some populations, maybe up to 30 or 40 percent,” Bossche commented.

Bossche has previously raised the alarm about a looming disaster facing the vaccinated, however.

As Slay News reported, Bossche warned the public during a separate interview that a “massive tsunami” of “chaos” and “death” is about to decimate the global Covid mRNA-vaccinated population.

Bossche warned that a “huge, huge wave” of illness and deaths among those vaccinated for Covid is now “imminent.”

The top scientist says this “massive tsunami” will collapse hospitals and cause financial, economic, and social “chaos.”

“What I am predicting is a massive, massive tsunami” of illness and death among highly-vaccinated populations with compromised immune systems, Bossche said.

“You will see what will happen, for example, in the next coming weeks…is more and more cases of more serious long Covid…

“They will start to replace the surge of the cancers…now we have a more chronic phase.

“It will end with a hyper-acute phase, a huge, huge wave…

“I’ve been studying this now for four years.

“I know what I’m talking about,” Bossche asserted.

“The thing I want your audience to understand, what we will be facing in the hyper-acute Covid crisis that is imminent, is that we will have to build a completely new world…” Bossche continues.

“It is very very clear that when this starts, our hospitals will collapse.

“And that means the chaos in all kinds of layers of society — financial, economic, social, you name it — will be complete.”

“And that is what I’m very clearly predicting…

“It’s very strange for me to make such statements, but I’m not hiding it because I’m two hundred percent convinced that it will happen,” he warned.

“This will be something that will be reported in history for many many generations to come,” he noted.

Bossche is not alone in his prediction of a major population plunge, however.

As Slay News reported earlier, Professor Dolores Cahill, a world-renowned immunology expert, issued an explosive warning to the public that everyone who has been vaccinated with Covid mRNA shots “will die within 3 to 5 years, even if they have had only one injection.”

Prof. Cahill has over 25 years of expertise in high-throughput protein array, antibody array, proteomics technology development, and automation.

Since the Covid mRNA shots were rolled out in early 2021, Cahill has been sounding the alarm about the devastating impact they will have on public health.

Not only does Cahill think the shots are dangerous, but she warns that they will eventually kill everybody who has received one or more doses.

During an interview, Cahill explains how mRNA in the injections harms all recipients and acts like a ticking time bomb in the Covid-vaccinated.

After explaining how the shots impact human health, Cahill made this following chilling prediction:

“Everybody who has an mRNA injection will die within 3 to 5 years, even if they have had only one injection.”

mRNA Shots Increase Chance of Catching Covid

mRNA Shots Increase Chance of Catching Covid, Study Finds
Frank Bergman
May 4, 2024

A new study has concluded that the more Covid mRNA shots a person receives, the more likely they are to contract COVID-19.

Dr. Nabin Shrestha and his team conducted an analysis of data from Cleveland Clinic employees.

The researchers reported that they found that the likelihood of a person contracting Covid increased each time they received a dose of the vaccine.

People who received two or more doses were at higher risk of COVID-19, they noted.

The risk of contracting COVID-19 was 1.5 times higher for those who received two doses and 1.95 times higher for those who received three doses, the researchers found

Those who received three or more doses were 2.5 times more likely to contract the virus.

The higher risk was compared to people who received zero or one dose of a vaccine.

Even after adjusting for variables, the elevated risk remained.

“The exact reason for this finding is not clear,” the researchers said in the paper, which was released as a preprint.

“It is possible that this may be related to the fact that vaccine-induced immunity is weaker and less durable than natural immunity.

“So, although somewhat protective in the short term, vaccination may increase risk of future infection.”

Dr. Robert Malone, a vaccine researcher and inventor of mRNA technology, told The Epoch Times that the paper served as “another acknowledgment that the products are not effective or are at very low effectiveness and are contributing to negative effectiveness [down the line].”

Malone, who was not involved in the paper, noted that the researchers did not study vaccine safety among the employee population.

The COVID-19 vaccines can cause a number of side effects, including fatal heart inflammation, according to the literature and death records.

Earlier studies and data have also suggested that people with more vaccine doses are more susceptible to COVID-19 infection, including previous papers from the Cleveland Clinic scientists and a study from Iceland.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which has repeatedly declined requests to comment on outside research, recommends virtually all people aged 6 months and older receive one of the currently available COVID-19 vaccines, regardless of how many shots they’ve received.

However, a meeting later in May is set to discuss whether to update the vaccine formulations to improve protection.

CDC scientists said in a paper published in February in the agency’s weekly report that the latest version of the vaccines, a monovalent

targeting the XBB.1.5 subvariant, provided 49 percent effectiveness between 60 and 119 days later when the JN.1 virus strain was dominant.

Supplementary data, however, showed that people aged 50 and older who received the previous bivalent version were more susceptible to symptomatic infection.

The new study disclosed no conflicts of interest and acknowledged at least five limitations, including how they used a proxy for infection with JN.1.

Another study, released ahead of peer review in April, estimated the effectiveness of Pfizer’s updated vaccine as 32 percent against hospitalization from late 2023 through early 2024.

The research was conducted by scientists from multiple institutions, including the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Pfizer, many authors reported conflicts of interest, and some of the funding came from Pfizer.

People’s immune systems being trained to react to older virus strains at the expense of protection against newer variants is one theory for why the vaccinated might be more prone to infection.

“Multiple vaccine doses may have the effect of antibody-dependent enhancement or ‘original antigenic sin,’ which increase the infection response disproportionally to antibodies generated from the first vaccine dose, rather than from the current vaccine or the current infection, making the antibody response less effective,” Dr. Harvey Risch, professor emeritus of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health said after reviewing the paper.

Dr. Shrestha and the Cleveland Clinic researchers aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the XBB.1.5 shots against JN.1, which displaced XBB.1.5 before the end of 2023.

To do so, they analyzed the incidence of COVID-19 among Cleveland Clinic employees from Dec. 31, 2023, to April 22, 2024.

Among approximately 47,500 employees included in the study, 838 tested positive for COVID-19 during that period.

Unadjusted data showed no difference between people who received one of the updated shots and people who didn’t, but after adjusting for age and other factors, the researchers estimated the shots provided 23 percent effectiveness against infection.

Federal and global guidelines consider vaccines ineffective if they provide under 50 percent shielding.

The number of severe illnesses among the study population was too small to estimate effectiveness against severe illness, the researchers said.

Listed limitations included the inability to separate symptomatic and asymptomatic infections.

No conflicts of interest were reported and authors said they received no funding.

Why was President John F. Kennedy Assassinated?

John F. Kennedy “Turned to Peace”, Refused the Conduct of a “False Flag” and Was Assassinated

Rejected US Military's "Operation Northwoods" False Flag

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts

Global Research, May 04, 2024

Last  November 22, 2023 we commemorated the 60th anniversary of the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

His Legacy and Commitment to World Peace will Live Forever.  

This important article by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts provides us with an understanding of the diabolical nature of  “False Flag” Attacks, which had been envisaged in 1962 by the US Joint Chiefs of Staff as a means to justify the invasion of Cuba. 

Dr. Roberts’ analysis sheds light on the False Flag Attack against the People of Palestine. The premises are very similar to those of Operation Northwoods. 

Operation Northwoods was prepared by the Joint Chiefs of Staff with the support of US intelligence. The logic of this false flag plan was

“to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba”. 

“Casualty Lists Would Cause a Helpful Wave of Indignation”.

President John F. Kennedy

“rejected the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lemnitzer’s “Operation Northwoods,” a plan to carry out false flag terror attacks on Americans and blame Castro in order to create support for a US invasion of Cuba”.

That happened a year before his assassination in November 1963.

Researchers who have investigated the assassination of President John F. Kennedy for 30 or more years have concluded that he was murdered by a conspiracy of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the CIA, and the Secret Service.

See for example, JFK And The Unspeakable by James W. Douglass.

Shortly before he was murdered, President John F. Kennedy gave an extraordinary speech at American University.

In the speech he came out against continuation of the Cold War that risked all life on earth for the benefit of the profits of the military-security complex and the budgets and power of the Pentagon and CIA.

President Kennedy was already marked for assassination.

He rejected the Joint Chiefs’ belligerence toward the Soviet Union and their belief that nuclear war could be won.

He rejected the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lemnitzer’s “Operation Northwoods,” a plan to carry out false flag terror attacks on Americans and blame Castro in order to create support for a US invasion of Cuba.

He rejected US Air Force support for the CIA’s Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba.

He worked outside of channels with Khrushchev to defuse the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The paranoid anti-communists who controlled US military and security forces concluded that President Kennedy did not serve their career interests and was soft on communism and thereby unable to stand up to the Soviet Union.

They viewed Kennedy as a threat to US national security that needed to be removed.

A new peace movement, NoWar2016 has utilized part of President Kennedy’s speech to build interest in its September 23-25 conference at American University.

David Swanson points out the difference between President Kennedy’s approach to the Soviet Union and Washington’s approach to Russia today.

There was hope in Kennedy’s approach. There is no hope in the approach today.

Listen to Kennedy’s speech and despair that such brilliant and fearless leadership was snuffed out by the military-security complex.

Like almost all Americans at the time, Senator John F. Kennedy regarded the Soviet Union as a threatening adversary.

He campaigned for the presidency on “the missile gap,” the presumption of which was that the Soviets were gaining military supremacy over the US.

But once in the Oval Office, Kennedy witnessed the extreme risks that US military leadership was willing to impose on American lives in behalf of a war than no one needed.

He realized that the US military-security complex was as great a threat to life as the Soviets. He understood that tensions between the two nuclear powers had to be defused, not increased.

Once re-elected, he intended to cease the US intervention in Vietnam and to discipline the CIA. Kennedy’s approach was not acceptable to the military-security complex, and he was eliminated.

Banning TikTok is About Protecting Western Narratives

Western governments, Israel and their mainstream media networks are being exposed for their lies and propaganda more than ever before by various alternative media websites, blogs, social media, and video-sharing platforms such as TikTok.

Banning TikTok Is Not About Fighting China, It’s About Protecting Western Narratives and Israel’s War Crimes in the Middle East

By Timothy Alexander Guzman

Global Research, May 04, 2024

The US government claims that TikTok is a national security threat because China can collect data on its users for “intelligence gathering.” Give me a break! The House of Representatives passed a bill to ban TikTok unless Byte Dance, the Chinese parent company “divests” from the app within six months or so, in other words, they are forcing Byte Dance to sell TikTok within a certain time period in order for it to operate in the US. Former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that he is putting together an investor group to supposedly buy TikTok. 

The reality is that they are not going after TikTok because of China’s “intelligence gathering” on US citizens, it is because Western governments, Israel and their mainstream media networks are being exposed for their lies and propaganda more than ever before by various alternative media websites, blogs, social media, and video-sharing platforms such as TikTok.

China’s “Intelligence Gathering” vs. Israel’s War Crimes

It is most likely that the US congress is scapegoating China mainly to protect Israel’s reputation in the last bastion of its supporters in the United States were there are more than 170 million TikTok users.  In one way or another Israel’s war crimes in Gaza and beyond has been exposed on TikTok and it does not look good for the self-described “Jewish State.” 

Last January, the US-based TIME magazine reported on the reality of how the world views Israel and its actions in the Middle East, “New data shared with TIME magazine business intelligence company Morning Consult shows that support for Israel around the world has dropped significantly since the war in Gaza began.”  Morning Consult found that Israel’s standing in world opinion has dropped dramatically, “Net favorability—the percentage of people viewing Israel positively after subtracting the percentage viewing it negatively—dropped globally by an average of 18.5 percentage points between September and December, decreasing in 42 out of the 43 countries polled.”   

From China to South Korea, even in the UK and several countries in Latin America all had a somewhat positive view of Israel, but when the war on Gaza began, opinion polls on Israel’s favorability status collapsed:

China, South Africa, Brazil, and several other countries in Latin America all went from viewing Israel positively to negatively. And many rich countries that already had net negative views of Israel—including Japan, South Korea, and the U.K.—saw steep declines. Net favorability in Japan went from -39.9 to -62.0; in South Korea from-5.5 to -47.8; and in the U.K. from -17.1 to -29.8

Sonnet Frisbie, the deputy head of political intelligence at Morning Consult said that “the data shows just how tough of a road Israel has right now in the international community.”  Of course, the US population still holds a favorable opinion of Israel, “The U.S. remains the only rich country that still had net positive views of Israel. Net favorability dropped just 2.2 percentage points, from a net favorability of 18.2 to a net favorability of 16 from September to December” the report said. 

Al Jazeera, ‘Israel has lost the war of public opinion,’ by Imam Omar Suleiman published last year said that “In a new media landscape dominated not by Western media giants but by Instagram reels, TikTok videos and YouTube shorts, Israel’s ongoing war on the besieged Gaza Strip is more than televised.” 

Israel’s crimes have been exposed due to the internet including alternative media networks and various social media platforms since the Zionist controlled mainstream media failed to do its job which should not be a surprise to anyone. 

Platforms such as TikTok has more than 170 million users in the US which is a concern for both the US and Israeli governments who propagandize the US population on a daily basis on the situation of Palestine through their control of the mainstream media and Hollywood:

Audiences across the world, and especially young people, have been watching the devastation caused by Israel’s indiscriminate bombardment of the Palestinian enclave on their preferred social media platforms, in real-time, for over a month. Anyone with internet access has seen countless videos of babies torn apart by bombs, women crushed under tonnes of concrete and mothers cradling the dead bodies of their children

Suleiman said that “Israel, of course, still continues with its usual efforts – and more – to control the narrative about its bloody wars and decades-old occupation.”  He pinpoints how Israel is losing the information war:

Yet, despite all these efforts, thanks largely to social media, Israel is no longer able to conceal the truth about its conduct in Palestine. It can no longer control the narratives and the public opinion on Palestine. As mainstream media loses its ability to single-handedly decide what Western and, to a certain extent, global audiences get to witness about the situation in Palestine, the brutality of Israel’s occupation has been laid out in the open for everyone to see

The Times of Israel published an article based on Israel’s obvious concerns regarding TikTok, ‘Major US Jewish group backs bipartisan bill that could see TikTok banned’ said that “One of the most prominent Jewish groups in the country has thrown its support behind a fast-advancing bill that could lead to the massively popular video app TikTok being banned in the United States.” 

The world knows that both Democrats and Republicans in the US Capital are in the pockets of Jewish lobbying groups are moving forward in efforts to ban TikTok because its a “Chinese owned app” and it is collecting data on American citizens, but there are companies (some are based in the US including Amazon) who have been selling your data for some time.

The article states that “Politicians backing the bill, who include leaders from both parties, have centered their criticism of TikTok on national security concerns related to the app’s Chinese ownership and data collection practices.” Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a Republican from Washington said that “It is very important that it is targeted and specific to the national security threat” and that “This is not related to content. This is about the threat because of the data that has been collected.” So, the ban on TikTok is not related to the content? That’s pure nonsense.  The Times of Israel at least stated the facts on why the US and Israel is really interested in banning the platform:

Jewish Federations of North America, representing hundreds of organized Jewish communities, said its support for the bill is rooted in concerns about antisemitism on the platform. The Jewish Federations and the Anti-Defamation League have accused TikTok of allowing antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment to run rampant

The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) wrote a letter to the US Congress claiming that “The single most important issue to our Jewish communities today is the dramatic rise in antisemitism” and that “Our community understands that social media is a major driver of the drive-in antisemitism and that TikTok is the worst offender by far.” 

Banning TikTok is about censorship. It is a fact that Israel’s war crimes and the destructive nature of the US war machine is getting exposed more than ever before. US lawmakers are giving Byte Dance which is managed by Shou Zi Chew, a Singaporean citizen, about six months to divest US assets from the app, or they will face a ban.  If the ban of TikTok moves forward, then free speech in the US is completely dead. But that does not mean all social media platforms or even websites will be in danger for the foreseeable future because there will be other apps and platforms that the US, EU, and Israeli political establishment won’t be able to control. 

Banning TikTok will Only Motivate Us to Create Other Platforms    

Social Media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter (although owned by Elon Musk) have been completely hijacked by the government censorship regime. The Western political establishment, Globalist bankers, Zionists, Multi-national corporations such as Big Oil and Big Pharma and others around the world are facing an information war that they are clearly losing. 

The internet has given us the tools to fight the mainstream media and their lies.  Several social media platforms have grown to be a vital tool to challenge government and corporate propaganda such as TikTok, but there are also other various types of online-video platforms such as Rumble, Bit Chute, Odysee (part of LBRY, a blockchain based file-sharing and payment network) and we must include instant messaging services such as Telegram and VK where you can post articles and videos as well. 

The point here is that regardless of how certain governments such as the US and the European Union who have banned foreign media companies such as Russia’s RT News and Iran’s Press TV, they also have plans to ban social media platforms, but it won’t work.      

They believe that banning TikTok will prevent people from getting the truth especially to what is happening in Palestine, but they are wrong, it will only help motivate people to create new platforms and other ideas, they will create new channels of information that would get out to the public. Whether they ban TikTok or not, the genie is out of the bottle, the truth can never be suppressed.
