Some of us saw this for what it was way back in 2002! The Patriot Act and subsequent NDAA's told me the Republic was dead. Arabs with box cutters? Towers free falling into their footprints. The war on "terror". The destruction of the Middle East. TSA? Homeland Security? I never imagined they would use the medical mafia to push us over the edge. But they did. And I watched as the sheep lined up and gave away their rights. Is this acceptable speech here on Courageous Discourse? I hope so.

I did, as I read that 1,600 page Bill back in 2012 that Nancy said they had to pass before they could see what was in it, so I downloaded it, took 2 weekends at 400 pages/day, about 9 to 10 hours each, and read the horrifying death panels that would be created, leveraging the insurance companies and pharma into our healthcare decisions, etc....I tried to warn people, but they said that I was a conspiracy theorist...guess how many are asking me how I knew now? So sad!

Wow! Kudos to you for putting yourself through that. I didn't. Even without reading it, I knew it was doom. Anything shoved down our throat in an "emergency" measure should be automatically understood to be doom.

So, who else in Congress in 2012 do you think would have known the real content of the Bill besides Pelosi?

yes exactly. 100. When I saw journalists "report" that they found the "passport" of one of the "terrorists" with box cutters in the wreckage of 9/11 ... and people BELIEVED THIS HOGWASH ... I knew we were completely utterly screwed. Then, as now, I was attacked for pointing out they were lying to us.

For sure! I was also impressed by the fact that instead of treating the site as a crime scene, they hauled it all away as fast as they could, and sold the scrap to China!

It is definitely acceptable.

This piece is brilliant. It will not be acceptable to the masses, of course, for they do not appear to have been schooled in how things really work. It is way too complex for them to absorb as they are still seeking easily digestible mother’s milk and jarred, puréed peaches and peas. Way to hard to “chew” on something real. Too much heavy lifting. The way the Collective truly operates can only be known and comprehended by the Individual who questions, challenges, and debates.

Very good information, John.

Also of great importance is Executive Order EO 13526 of 29 Dec 2009, which violated Article I, Section 9 of the US Constitution: "a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time."

It "legalized" federal dark money for the purpose of "national security" (clandestine operations) and it got final approval on 4 Oct 2018 with FASAB Statement Number 56. Interestingly, some firms like Amazon took off in the stock market, after Obama "legalized" federal dark money.

I first learned about this due to the courageous reporting of Catherine Austin Fitts.

Obama was the steroids of our demise as a country. It was facilitated by the use of Racism as to tool.

Obama was "chosen" for President for that very reason along with Dominion voting machines (2nd term) to give "them" the necessary two terms to solidify their gains.

Hillary was promised that role. But her skin color was not in line for the "plan".

Individuals of all ‘color’ are waking to the smell of BO’s BS. He pit the ignorant against the ignorant and ran with the win while they were distracted.

"Dark money" has been available forever. With a $2 trillion budget, it's all obscured, and therefore equivalent to a black budget. We rely on congress to ensure its used effectively, but that has been our perpetual failing. The core of an effective republic is hiring effective managers. The core of an effective society is knowing how to hire effective managers. The failures of our society are our fault.

Originally I was for the Patriot Act and my oldest son, who is a lawyer and was in his 20's at the time saw into the future and told me exactly the scenario that we have going on right now. We argued about it and even though I was older :), I was more naive than he was. It is hard to imagine that previous presidents (other than Trump) have played along with what is happening to the American Constitution and to the American People, but it seems the old adage "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" holds as true today as when it was coined. We are seeing it now and it is frightening for the average person if they stay aware of what is going on in the US and the world. My mother grew up during Hitler's time in Germany and told us many stories about the dangers at that time and friends she had taken away, and she saw what was happening here, she kept telling me that it reminded her of that dangerous time. She has passed on now, and I'm thankful she's not seeing any of these troubled time. Thank you Dr. Mccullough for being a leader in truth that you have been from the very beginning of Covid-19 and continue to be a strong advocate of freedom.

It continues to amaze me that many people I speak with do not know who Edward Snowden is and what he did. He acted as a patriot and a hero, and our govt. tried to silence him.. His choice of destinations came down to Russia and Guantanamo. Thank God he survived.

Despite lip service to the contrary, Trump declared emergency powers, shut the country down, started sending out stimulus checks to people not working, printed billions of dollars for the medical industrial complex, signed Operation Warp Speed and did a lot of other things that went along with whatever plan was set in place. He was perhaps the most important piece. Both parties in America are controlled by this one world power.

Everyone should be aware of the book -The End of America - by Naomi Wolf. She describes historically the "ten steps" to fascism that leads to a fascist takeover of countries around the world where it controls the population. You will learn america has taken all ten. The last is a constant State of Emergency(which the U.S is legally under) that gives the government the ability to legally supress your rights given to us by our Constitution. Most of these steps took place shortly after 9/11. Everyone should know the word "gaslight" and find our government needs to eliminate the corrupt politicians feom the federal down to local levels. Its up to us to restore the freedoms we once had before there is complwte control with a digital currency.

It is sad that the majority not the minority will react to this essay as misinformation even though historical events have been quoted to support the claims. Now more than ever facts are being classified as heresy and lies are being perpetuated as the truth. Common sense needs to be restored so we can once again think critically making sense of all things for the preservation of reality.

The DOD, U.S. Department of Defense, has classified the Covid-19 Injections as "military counter-measure prototypes", meaning that these injections are not classified as Medical Treatments or Vaccines, they are considered Bioweapons against the populations.

I think “military counter-measure prototypes“ would be referring to the injections as being a counter-measure against the ‘bioweapon’, which bioweapon would be the virus itself, thus proving the virus was lab created and released (intentionally or unintentionally).

Dr McCullough, please comment on Sasha Latypova's work. Sasha is a Senior Regulatory Expert for Clinical Trials and presents a convincing case that the American military is behind the pandemic and failed m-RNA program. The program appears to be purposefully damaging to the world population. What are your thoughts? Who in our military became corrupt at this level? Was it money, ideology, coercion, or ego? We the people must stop this. We are not China. We must have free speech, a credible justice system, a working legislative branch of government, and an executive branch duly elected, not a puppet of the deep state.

The authoritarian state did not begin in 2002, but is the product of an inexorable descent over decades. Some identify the original sin as the suspension of habeas corpus during the Civil War. The federal government grew mightily under President Wilson (IRS, Fed), and more so under President Roosevelt.

IMO, a major turning point was President Kennedy signing an executive order regarding the Civil Service. They became unionized and virtually impossible to fire, even when engaged in open sedition against the duly elected president, as we saw with Trump. (Recall Lt. Col. Vindman and "the interagency consensus"?) The administrative state must be dismantled before we can return to constitutional governance.

Thank you so much, John, for helping to illuminate some of the errors that have led to the loss of our constitutional democracy.

I went back to remind myself of the Executive Order 13228—Establishing the Office of Homeland Security and the Homeland Security Council.

and I noted there were several sections of the Order that, if correctly applied, would have prevented the collapse of the economy and prevented much of the damage from the draconian restrictive orders (lockdowns, social distancing, etc).

In our book COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We are the Prey, Dr. Breggin and I documented thoroughly that the Communist Chinese government deliberately allowed the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 around the world and into the U.S. through the failure to shut down international travel even as they halted all China domestic flights to and from cities first affected including Wuhan and it's province of Hubai, as well as Shanghi and Beijing. (pg 62). An infographic from Epoch Times illustrated the spread of the disease through the failure to shut down air travel from China. https://www.theepochtimes.com/infographic-how-the-global-pandemic-spread-from-china_3664259.html

If the US and other nations had recognized the deliberate nature of the Communist Chinese government spread of SARS-CoV-2, we would have recognized we were under attack.

If the US government had recognized we were under attack, the homeland Security Executive Order would have been applied in a whole different manner. Read the following section from that original Executive Order and see if we agree that there would have been immediate refusal to implement most if not all of the mandates and "recommendations" coming out of the Federal government from January 2020 forward.

quote

(i) coordinate efforts to ensure rapid restoration of transportation systems, energy production, transmission, and distribution systems; telecommunications; other utilities; and other critical infrastructure facilities after disruption by a terrorist threat or attack;

(ii) coordinate efforts to ensure rapid restoration of public and private critical information systems after disruption by a terrorist threat or attack;

(iii) work with the National Economic Council to coordinate efforts to stabilize United States financial markets after a terrorist threat or attack and manage the immediate economic and financial consequences of the incident;

end quote

One way to look at this is to conclude that the Homeland Security Executive order was a power grab and should never have been issued, and I agree.

But given that it was implemented, I think that an examination of the Executive order provides legal evidence that there were massive violations of the Homeland Executive Order itself, in order to shut the U.S. and its citizens and economy down for months and in some cases (like New York State) years.

Hello Peter and Ginger, Thanks for all you have done over the years, new fan.

I think you may be a bit less accusatory than necessary here.

I do not believe the failure to turn the pandemic around was just a matter of US gov't "recognizing" we were under attack and calmly utilizing existing legal and bureaucracy infrastructure. Not when the DoD and FDA were in on it from the get-go.

From Ft. Detrick to Fauci and Peter Daszak(sp?), to the Wuhan CCP Virology Lab, and right back to US!

Ha! Too much subtlety. Thank you so much for your comment. I completely agree with you and indeed if you will read our book COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We are the Prey, you will see that we were the first to do the deep investigation and to identify and bring the references and evidence of the global cabal that manufactured and executed the pandemic and destruction of world democracies. For the 'cliff notes' you might refer to our growing online chronology of COVID-19 and the Global Predators, available on our website here:

Can all of this be challenged as unconstitutional? I know its takes money and time but can all of this be legally challenged? They are not amendments to the constitution. They are mostly Federal Codes in place during "emergencies" correct?

But who do you present the challenge to? The court either dismisses or refuses based on “National Security “. Those two words are magical in their power. Almost everyone backs down when they hear them.

"Presidential authorization for foreign troops to control American civilians on US soil"

"Director of DSCA, with authority to coordinate and synchronize US military with foreign military forces, and conduct domestic military campaigns"

Just think about that a minute.

US citizens have been given over to foreign troop control and an UN-elected "DSCA director" given totalitarian control over the populous.

and we have to thank each of the last US Presidents to thank for this.
