Steve Quayle: The Vatican is Controlling History 

Steve is the former editor and publisher of Survival Quest and Security and Survival Chronicles – monthly newsletters which dealt with perilous events and how to prepare for them.

For the past seven years, Quayle has articulated the need for Americans to be aware of bioterrorism and weapons of mass destruction. Upon publication of Breathe No Evil, Quayle upstaged mainstream media by years spelling out detailed effects of bioterrorism. Prior to publication of Breathe No Evil, Quayle went on record predicting a major chemical or biological attack in a large world city. Three weeks later, the Aum Shinrikyo cult released nerve gas in the Tokyo subway.

Steve continues to shout from the rooftops, his concern for the massive loss of life due to lack of civil defense and preparation in the public and private sectors. Breathe No Evil was written as an antidote for fear informing people of the necessary steps to take prior to biological and chemical terrorism.

The following are some of the more dramatic events Quayle identified long before mainstream news even had a clue:

  • Stated in 1997 that the following year would bring unprecedented temperatures approaching 130o. In June 1998, India hit 129o.
  • Declared one year prior to the micro burst that touched down in Root National Forest near Steamboat Springs, CO that we would see winds approaching 350 MPH. Scientists said wind speeds of this magnitude were not possible. Two hundred year old trees over a 30 mile stretch snapped like matches. Scientists estimated that the jet stream was forced down for a split second wreaking devastation equaled only to the Tunguska meteor strike.
  • Quayle was the first to detail for the public “Gabriel’s Fist” – an asteroid coming toward earth out of Pegasus and on a near-collision course with earth, and how the world’s brightest scientists met monthly to discuss their plans of when to inform the American people. This event has them quaking in their boots.
  • Quayle was one of the first radio talk show guests to describe the introduction of hoof and mouth disease into Taiwan which resulted in the total destruction of their hog industry…

COSMIC DISCLOSURE: ALLYING WITH THE MIC SSP

Season 7, Episode 17


admin    26 Apr 2017

s7e17_allying_with_the_mic_ssp_16x9.jpgDavid Wilcock: All right, welcome to “Cosmic Disclosure”. I’m your host, David Wilcock, and we here with Corey Goode for another fascinating update. Without further ado, let’s hit the ground running.

Corey, welcome back to the show.

Corey Goode: Thank you.

David: More recently, you have started to interact with a Military-Industrial Complex Secret Space Program. There are a lot of movies out there that, according to Pete Peterson in one of the briefings he gave me recently, are showing hardware that this group actually possesses. And they’re putting it out in the open – a movie like “The Avengers” that has a flying aircraft carrier.

So what is your knowledge about how this MIC group is working with Hollywood in maybe getting us ready for things that they’re going to show us?

Corey: Well, according to Sigmund and everyone else I’ve talked to, they are planning on doing a slow, I guess, disclosure of a certain type of secret space program that, as I stated before, the DIA, NSA and Air Force have control of.

1 Corey Goode

And they plan on making this program known, which most of the activity happens within 500 miles of the Earth. They have space stations and manned satellites within that 500 mile range.

And that’s most of that zone that they have control over.

David: In Ronald Reagan’s own handwritten book of his memoirs – comes out in 1985 while he’s still President – he kind of let slip that he was aware that we could put 300 people up into orbit. And there was certainly nothing having to do with the space shuttle that would have anywhere near the capacity to hold 300 people.

So what was he talking about there?

Corey: He was referring to this program. This program . . . There are several decent sized space stations. There are manned satellites that have anywhere from three, six, eight men on duty, or I should say people on duty, that are serviced by these triangular craft. And they exchange personnel and supplies.

This is the information that our President recently received in a briefing.

David: Really?

Corey: He received a very low-level briefing and was upset because he knew it was a low-level briefing.

David: We have reason to believe that Trump’s uncle was involved with some of this classified information as well. What is your knowledge about that?

Corey: His uncle, whose name was John G. Trump, and was a MIT professor or scientist at the time, had actually been called to go out to Tesla’s property after he passed away to help remove all of the paperwork and experiments.

So this could very well explain some of the comments that the current President made very recently.

Pentagon Completes Takeover Of US Government, Begins Next Stage Of “Deep State” War

April 26, 2017 By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A very interesting, though somewhat chilling, new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today states that the US Department of Defense (DoD/Pentagon) has secured its takeover of the American government and is now in “full battle mode” for its next assault against its “Deep State” enemies currently waging war against President Donald Trump—but that Federation experts warn could lead to nuclear war.  [Note: Some words and/or phrases appearing in quotes in this report are English language approximations of Russian words/phrases having no exact counterpart.]

 

 

According to this report, the American “Deep State” is a confederation of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operatives who have permeated every branch of the US government since the early 1950’s,  and who, in 2016, were exposed by Udo Ulfkotte (the assistant editor for the German mainstream media newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) as being in control of the entire Western mainstream media—and for his exposing them, was assassinated just prior to his meeting with then President-elect Trump.

With this “Deep Statetranscending all US laws and having sold-out the Pentagon’s counter-terror efforts in order to keep itself in business, this report continues, then candidate Trump aligned himself with the American military establishment to gain the presidency—and who after taking power, has appointed to his Cabinet more generals than any other US leader since World War II.

 

 

The most important “observable” military leaders appointed by President Trump to fight the “Deep State”, this report details, are General James Mattis, who now heads the Pentagon, General John Kelly, who now heads the Department of Homeland Security, former US Navy SEAL Ryan Zinke, who now leads the Department of Interior, and former US Army officer Mike Pompeo, who now heads the CIA.

Likewise, this report notes, the most important “non-observable” military leaders appointed by President Trump are Jeff Sessions, who now heads the Department of Justice, Rex Tillerson, who heads the Department of State, and Rick Perry, who heads to the Department of Energy—which is the ministry in charge of America’s nuclear arsenal currently under civilian, not military, control.

Critical to note about Trump’s “non-observable” military leaders Jeff Sessions, Rex Tillerson and Rick Perry, this report says, is that all of them are Vietnam War-era Eagle Scoutswho were deferred from fighting in this conflict by the Pentagon in order for them to become established political and business leaders put into positions of power to further the goals and aims of the US military against their “Deep State” CIA adversaries…

“There is a lot of entertainment on the Internet, and as the Cabal writhes in its death throes, the desperation is apparent.”

During his last Cobra situation update on: 04/22/17, http://2012portal.blogspot.com.br/2017/04/situation-update.html, Cobra made a post informing all Lightworkers and Lightwarriors that because the Cabal has not been able to start World War 3, they have tuned to “electronic warfare” against key workers and warriors of the light . He also issued a strong ultimatum –a warning–to the Cabal, stating,  “Anybody using a directed energy weapon against a civilian target, either knowingly or unknowingly, is committing a crime against humanity and may expect to be dealt with.“ He further stated that an “international diplomatic and political scandal with far-reaching consequences, exposing certain key people from the United States, responsible for use of those weapons against civilian population, may explode soon.“

Cobra also said that this is an obvious attempt to remove the workers of the light from the surface of the planet, as the Lightworkers and Lightwarriors with the power of their unified consciousness are one of the main obstacles in the Cabal’s plans to create global war. He further explained how these weapons are used by the Cabal agents worldwide, torturing a very important segment of civilian population. He asked everyone to spread far and wide the following information explaining what “directed energy weapons” are: http://nesaranews.blogspot.si/2017/04/urgent-national-security-and.html

Cobra has been warning us for years about the energy and plasma scalar devices that can negatively influence and harm our physical bodies. The Chimera Group uses these devices to attack Lightwarriors and Lightworkers by influencing their body functions, disturbing breathing and heart pulse. The Chimera Group also uses plasma scalar lasers to project thought forms into minds of Lightworkers, plasma infrasound to lower the frequency of auric membrane of Lightworkers and plasma ultrasound devices.  It is the ultimate spying and surveillance machine…

Benjamin Fulford — April 25th 2017: Kim Jong Un and family will seek political asylum in Vladivostok, Russia


(Benjamin Fulford) North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and his family will seek political asylum in Russia on or about May 8th, just before the South Korean presidential election, according to sources in Japanese military intelligence.

This is the decision reached in secret discussions between the governments of Russia, China and the US under the aegis of the CSIS, the sources say.

This will pave the way for a Kim Han Sol, the son of Kim Il Sung’s older brother Kim Jong Nam, to become the new leader of North Korea, the sources say. This will be followed by the reunification of the Korean Peninsula, they say. However, it is not yet clear if the Kim Han Sol the CSIS plans to place in power will be the real one or the fake one who recently appeared on internet video, the sources say.

This information has not been independently confirmed but reflects the scenario envisaged by the CSIS.

DR WILLIAM MOUNT: Trump Just Destroyed Agenda 21

In one Executive Order President Trump just destroyed the United Nations Agenda 21 – now upgraded to Agenda 30.

Agenda 21 is a United Nations Platform put forth in a 351 page Manual “Requesting” that all nations move to a Sustainable Growth.

Translation: Reduce the World’s Population to around 400 Million People living in Abject Poverty with the next 3 years.

Updated recently to Agenda 30 this population Reduction will be accomplished by the year 2030 and, according to the Chief Jesuit General in an interview,  the Opening of the Temple Of Lucifer in Jerusalem to be completed in the year 2032.

The Primary Precept of these United Nations Agenda’s is to more almost every one into the cities and then destroy them through various means – Poisoned Foods, Mandatory Vaccinations, Plagues, Wars, etc.

So – if the smaller towns are occupied by people the Agenda’s are destroyed.

Two things happened in 1980 that began forcing people out of small towns:

1) First – the Consent Decree. On 1 March 1980 the 9th Cicuit Court of appeals ruled that to be hired by the USA Forest Service as a Category 460 Employee (Forester) you must be woman or Black. Within 7 years the Forest Service Logging Industry – supplying vast amounts of timber – was dead.

This ruling was then used to lock White Males out of Forestry across the nation in State Forestry Programs.

Without this timber small towns simply die across America.

In 1986 I found myself at a Lunch prepared by Colonel Wiggins at his home near DC and met with the Head of the US Forest Service – Max Peterson. Colonel Wiggins son and I went to Engineer Officer’s Basic Course together near DC.

Max was wearing a Light Blue and white striped suit and was very plump.

I asked Max why he allowed the Consent Decree and why he did not take it to the US Supreme Court and over turn it and he said: “It was a sign of the times.”

So here is an example of what happened: In 1990 I applied for a Forrest Engineer Position here in Washington State. I was the highest rated Forest Engineer they had ever evaluated so all across the state – for 2 years – they would not fill the position and when  I spoke to “Governor Goofy” (Mike Lowry) about it he told me they could not hire me because I was a White Male.

Logging on state lands (25% revenue goes to schools) stopped and so did maintenance on Elementary Schools. When I went to the State Forestry Office in Enumclaw 3 years later I discovered that the Forest Engineer position was filled with a gal with no college diploma and she was the official Birthday Party Planner for the office.

When I spoke with her she did not know the difference between a Douglas Fir and a Ponderosa Pine – not kidding. She just simply routinely approved logging plans with no reviews.Source: DR WILLIAM MOUNT: Trump Just Destroyed Agenda 21

DC to Hold ‘Full Scale’ Terror Attack Drill Amid North Korea Standoff — This Wednesday


(Claire Bernish) With belligerent posturing between Pyongyang and Washington soaring to nuclear levels in mere weeks — and admonishments from world leaders to employ restraint seemingly gone unnoticed — disaster preparedness training demands an urgency not seen since the end of the Cold War.

by Claire Bernish, April 25th, 2017

Operation Gotham Shield, an interagency exercise to prepare officials and emergency personnel for the unlikely event an enemy State detonates a nuclear bomb in the skies over New York City, is slated to conclude Wednesday.

That same day, President Trump has called a meeting with top military and defense officials, and, ‘unusually’, the entire Senate over North Korea.

Wednesday also kicks off a full-scale preparedness drill of a different sort — one, strangely, not focused on the growing potentiality the U.S. may be forced to cope with nuclear war inside its borders; but, instead, addresses a familiar, if nebulous, adversary. Terrorism.

“Law enforcement officials and other first responders will participate in a full-scale exercise on April 26 designed to prepare for the possibility of a complex coordinated terror attack in the National Capital Region,” announced the Washington Metropolitan Council of Governments (COG) in a press statement yesterday.

Together with appropriate emergency managers, COG “planned the exercise to help protect residents by preparing for an attack involving multiple target locations and teams of perpetrators.

“The regional exercise will be staged at six sites in the District of Columbia, suburban Maryland and Northern Virginia, and will involve hundreds of police, fire, and emergency medical service personnel and volunteer actors. The locations include neighborhoods in the northeast and southeast quadrants of the District of Columbia, Prince George’s County, and Arlington and Fairfax Counties. Residents in those neighborhoods will be notified ahead of time to expect the exercise.”…

FBI Reopens Hillary Clinton Investigation 

The Times’ investigative report suggests that a U.S. intelligence agency managed to intercept some of what Russian hackers were stealing — and that one document, “described as both a memo and an email, was written by a Democratic operative who expressed confidence that Ms. Lynch would keep the Clinton investigation from going too far.”

From Breitbart

According to the Times, Comey feared that Lynch — who had insisted the Clinton probe be referred to as a “matter” and not as an “investigation,” and who suggested it the investigation was not criminal when, in fact, it was — would declare the case closed, and then Russian hackers would leak the document to undermine the FBI’s image of independence.

The Times notes: “Mr. Comey’s defenders regard this as one of the untold stories of the Clinton investigation, one they say helps explain his decision-making.” And if a local news reporter in Phoenix had not caught Lynch meeting with former President Bill Clinton, she might have succeeded in sheltering the Clintons even more effectively than she had.

When Comey’s letter to Congress about the reopening of the investigation was revealed on October 28, it changed the contours of the presidential race — arguably by uniting reluctant conservatives around Donald Trump’s candidacy.

Breitbart News was in the room when Trump announced the news to thousands of supporters in New Hampshire:

In July 2016, a batch of emails from the Democratic National Committee released by Wikileaks, and said by U.S. intelligence agencies to have been obtained most likely by Russian hackers, revealed collusion between senior party officials and the Clinton campaign to thwart the insurgent candidacy of socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

Bundy Ranch: Judge Forced to Declare Mistrial in Bundy Ranch Protest Trial 

Today, the first of the three Bundy Ranch protest trials came to an end. After just over two and a half months of testimony and 6 days of Jury Deliberations, the Jury reached a partial verdict on some charges, but were Hung on all of the other charges.

The most surprising and somber news came when the Jury convicted Todd Engle on 2 of the 10 charges that he faced. The 2 charges that Todd Engle was convicted of were Count 12 Obstruction Of Justice, and count 16 Interstate Travel To Aid Extortion. I am told by council that these charges carry a lesser punishment then the remaining 8 charges, and Todd May even just get probation and time served at sentencing.

As for Greg Burleson, the other defendant that was convicted today, he was convicted on 8 of the 10 charges and will most likely spend the rest of his life in prison…

Extraterrestrials Zapped Russian Soldiers, Declassified CIA Report Claims » The Event Chronicle

By Latest UFO Sightings

Surviving aliens allegedly attacked and killed Russian military after the latter shot down the former, revealed in a sensational declassified CIA report.

The bizarre report reportedly includes claims that aliens in the UFO transformed into a ball of light and turned 23 soldiers into stone. It was allegedly buried among thousands of U.S. intelligence agency declassified files published online.

The shocking report, made on March 27, 1993, is apparently the CIA translation of a report from the Ukraine-based newspaper Ternopil vechirniy. According to the newspaper report, many KGB files reached the CIA after Mikhail Gorbachev lost power in 1991.

The report stated that a military unit noticed a low flying saucer while in training in Siberia. One of the soldiers then fired a surface to air missile, bringing the UFO down, the report said. It further indicated that five short humanoids, having large heads and huge black eyes, got out.

Two survivor soldiers saw the five beings transformed into a white spherical ball of light, buzzed and hissed. The ball of light then exploded and turned 23 soldiers into stone, the report claimed. Two troops in a shaded area survived the alleged attack.

The report added that the remains of the petrified soldiers were transported to a secret research institution near Moscow as per KGB report.

Water Is Not What You Think it Is

All life as we know it is entirely dependent upon water to survive. The surface of Earth is 70% water, so, too are humans, reaching upwards of 90% water composition. The human brain and heart are considered to be about 73% water, and lungs approximately 83% water. From a molecular point of view, we are in fact 99% water! 

Without water, we would not exist, yet most of us take this precious liquid for granted. We drink what comes out of the faucet or in bottled form from the gas station without a second thought, and it is not our fault because we are physically incapable of detecting the difference between good and bad water. Sure it might be pure and have added minerals, but scientists are now discovering most human drinking water is considered to be dead, void of any energy. As crazy as that sounds, that is only the beginning of what they are discovering about water’s capabilities.

A Russian scientist by the name of Dr. Konstantin Korotkov has developed an instrument that can determine the energetics of water. Anything that enters a strong electromagnetic field begins to emit light. The greater the energy, the brighter the light.

He found that ordinary drinking water contained little, if any, energy. He was able to compare what we drink to a water sample taken from Venezuela that had no previous human contact. This water was shown to be 40,000 times more energetically active and its crystalline structure near perfection.

He concluded that water is a reflection of its environment and it stores that information indefinitely.

Researcher Masaru Emoto experimented with water by exposing it to music, words spoken, words typed, pictures and videos, and then flash freezing these molecules, he was able to capture and observe under a dark field microscope what that information looks like in terms of a wavelength. In a sense, a photograph of the language of information.

He found that positive frequencies created beautiful hexagonal symmetry while negative wavelengths took on chaotic, disorganized formations:…

‘The ban on cannabis is wrong’: Swiss group launches campaign to make weed legal — RT Viral

A Swiss group has launched a campaign to legalize cannabis consumption. The aptly titled ‘Legalize It’ campaign calls for cannabis to be legislated for and taxed by the government.

Cannabis remains illegal in Switzerland, although a 2013 law stipulates that adults caught with ten grams or less is fined 100-francs ($100) instead of facing criminal proceedings.

The group is calling for cannabis to be legal for personal use for adults. It also wants cannabis sales to be taxed and regulated by the government, arguing this would cause the black market cannabis trade to dry up.

“The ban on cannabis is wrong from a social perspective, wrong from a legal point of view and simply stupid from an economic point of view,” Legalize It’s Nine Forrer told Tages Anzeiger.

Legalize It has been at the forefront in efforts to legalize cannabis but have so far failed. In 2008 it wanted to legalize cannabis for all, including minors although under strict regulations. This is the first time it’s calling for taxation on cannabis.

Switzerland is experimenting with other potential cannabis projects. There are plans to trial ‘cannabis clubs’ in Zurich, Basel, Bern and Geneva, while pharmacies in Bern may sell cannabis as part of a Bern University research project.

11 Facts That Prove That The U.S. Economy In 2017 Is In Far Worse Shape Than It Was In 2016 | Prepare for Change

By Michael Snyder,

There is much debate about where the U.S. economy is ultimately heading, but what everybody should be able to agree on is that economic conditions are significantly worse this year than they were last year.  It is being projected that U.S. economic growth for the first quarter will be close to zero, thousands of retail stores are closing, factory output is falling, and restaurants and automakers have both fallen on very hard times.  As economic activity has slowed down, commercial and consumer bankruptcies are both rising at rates that we have not seen since the last financial crisis.  Everywhere you look there are echoes of 2008, and yet most people still seem to be in denial about what is happening.  The following are 11 facts that prove that the U.S. economy in 2017 is in far worse shape than it was in 2016…

#1 It is being projected that there will be more than 8,000 retail store closings in the United States in 2017, and that will far surpass the former peak of 6,163 store closings that we witnessed in 2008.

#2 The number of retailers that have filed for bankruptcy so far in 2017 has already surpassed the total for the entire year of 2016.

#3 So far in 2017, an astounding 49 million square feet of retail space has closed down in the United States.  At this pace, approximately 147 million square feet will be shut down by the end of the year, and that would absolutely shatter the all-time record of 115 million square feet that was shut down in 2001.

#4 The Atlanta Fed’s GDP Now model is projecting that U.S. economic growth for the first quarter of 2017 will come in at just 0.5 percent.  If that pace continues for the rest of the year, it will be the worst year for U.S. economic growth since the last recession.

#5 Restaurants are experiencing their toughest stretch since the last recession, and in March things continued to get even worse

Foot traffic at chain restaurants in March dropped 3.4% from a year ago. Menu prices couldn’t be increased enough to make up for it, and same-store sales fell 1.1%. The least bad region was the Western US, where sales inched up 1.2% year-over-year and traffic fell only 1.7%, according to TDn2K’s Restaurant Industry Snapshot. The worst was the NY-NJ Region, where sales plunged 4.6% and foot traffic 6.3%.

This comes after a dismal February, when foot traffic had dropped 5% year-over-year, and same-store sales 3.7%….
