    'Pandora papers bring tsuanami in Pakistan’s thieving corridors'
    https://247news.com.pk/pandora-paper...Wvn_siOV1ReTH0

    'Today (Sunday), explosive data from offshore corporations known as the “Pandora Papers” is expected to make headlines around the world. The news has already caused a tsunami in Pakistan’s thieving corridors.

    The stolen paper will reveal the financial secrets of high-profile persons around the world, including current and previous world leaders, public figures, billionaires, and others. According to sources, the Pandora Papers are a continuation of what was previously revealed in the Panama Papers and Paradise Papers.

    The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), a non-profit newsroom and journalist network based in Washington, DC, has received more than 11.9 million documents containing 2.94 terabytes of confidential information from service providers who helped set up and manage offshore companies and trusts in tax havens around the world.

    The ICIJ shared the information with 150 media outlets, making it the largest partnership in journalism history. The ICIJ took almost two years to organise this investigation, which involved over 600 journalists from 117 countries, making it the largest journalism collaboration ever.

    The research into the Panama Papers involved around 400 journalists from 80 countries This leak has revealed the finances of more leaders and public figures than the Panama Papers did, as well as providing more than twice the amount of information about offshore company ownership. The Panama Papers were based on documents from the Mossack Fonseca law company in Panama, which disclosed the offshore holdings of 140 politicians, public officials, and sports figures.

    The German publication Süddeutsche Zeitung received the data, which included details stretching back 40 years.

    The Pandora Papers are larger in size and contain more revelations concerning politicians and public authorities than previously made public. The Panama Papers revealed the identities of around 400 people from Pakistan. According to sources, the number of Pakistanis in the Pandora Papers is far higher. There would be a lot of interesting names in the news.

    "Pandora Papers" Leak Claims To Expose Hidden Wealth Allegedly Belonging To Putin, Other Foreign Leaders
    The trove of documents elucidating the hidden assets of world leaders seems to cover almost every country but one - the US.

    Zero Hedge

    Because the leaders of the US are not corrupt.
    That is the only logical explanation.

    And also the question of why this is being leaked now - in present "climate" there must be an odious reason behind that

    Shrinkflation has been traced back to the 1970's. People will check price over weight.
    Link
    Quote Kim Sovell, a marketing professor at the University of St. Thomas, says companies have learned how consumers don’t like to pay more.

    “It’s really a way to conceal higher prices,” Sovell said. “We’re very deterred by price increases. We’ll switch brands. … We focus on cost over quantity. Cost over quality.”

    Unless you have an old box in your cabinet at home to compare, you might not notice.

    “We check prices every time we shop but we rarely check weight,” Sovell said.

    The world economy continues to struggle with pandemic woes, and if you haven’t noticed price hikes, Sovell expects it to be more pronounced soon.

    The maker of Huggies diapers and Cottonelle toilet paper announced it will charge 4% to 9% more through 2022. Proctor and Gamble, behind products like Gillette Razors and Tide detergent, is also looking at price spikes.

    “Any time we start slowing down manufacturing and shipping while in the U.S. demand for products is high, what we’re going to see is supply not being able to meet demand, which is a sure-fire way to have increased prices,” Sovell said.

    Sovell traces Shrinkflation back to the ’70s. Judging by the history books, she says the changes usually stick. For instance, orange juice used to come in half gallon or 64 ounce-containers. Also, Dial soap adapted its trademark concave shape. It’s all a way to give us less and in some cases, even charge us more.

    Breyers ice cream is another good example — 64 ounces have gone to 48. The price didn’t stay the same, either; it went up by 25%.

    “Being mindful and watchful of our usage is about the only thing we can do as consumers,” Sovell said.

    Sovell also believes tracking prices and sizes is key, spotting a practice that shouldn’t be a secret.

    “We’ll come to realize that maybe it isn’t necessarily devious or sneaky but necessary, necessary for business, necessary to keep providing us the products that we want to be able to use,” she said.

    Sovell also says shopping the sales, using coupons and rebates can also help. Buying in bulk can also sometimes work in your favor, but Sovell says it’s something you should also be weight conscious if implementing.

    This is really so true: the times seem to be without any genuine leadership that offers a moral energy or will to overcome the indulgences of evil people, they seem to be 'beyond good and evil' as Nietzsche put it, but there is little of 'love' doing the rounds.
    (That which takes place in love is beyond good and evil-Nietzsche).

    Perhaps the sub encountered one of those 'UAP' craft that are seen to perform in the ocean as easily as in our atmosphere, military observers have reported these just as readily operating in our oceans?

    Mike, Although these times "seem" to be lacking wise and moral leadership, I don't believe that is entirely true. I choose to believe that Love and Light are very much in play and our words, thoughts and deeds of Love add to that enormously. ✌️❤️, Diane

    so ... Texas STILL rocks!





    Texas Gov. Greg Abbott bans any COVID-19 vaccine mandates
    — including for private employers


    Texas Tribune Reports:

    "Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday issued another executive order cracking down on COVID-19 vaccine mandates — this time banning any entity in Texas, including private businesses, from requiring vaccinations for employees or customers.

    Abbott also called on the Legislature to pass a law with the same effect. The Legislature is in its third special legislative session, which ends Oct. 19."

    Quote ... No entity in Texas can compel receipt of a COVID-19 vaccination by any individual, including an employee or consumer, who objects to such vaccination for any reason of personal conscience, based on a religious belief, or for medical reasons, including prior recovery from COVID-19," the order states.
    "... COVID-19 vaccine requirements by government agencies, cities, counties and school districts were already banned by a previous executive order — which is currently being fought in court by the San Antonio Independent School District. The Legislature also already passed into law a ban on so-called vaccine passports — which would allow businesses to require proof of vaccination from customers.

    The latest move appears to be at least partly motivated by President Joe Biden's actions in September that require all employers with more than 100 workers to mandate vaccines for workers or test weekly for the virus. Biden also required all federal government workers and contractors to get vaccinated, leading nearly all the major airlines — including American Airlines and Southwest Airlines headquartered in Texas — to announce they'd abide by the mandate."

    i still don't miss an opportunity to comment to at least ONE young person per day ...
    that MY BODY is under MY command ~ ONLY

    that its a ruse and sleight of hand to confuscate the REAL issue of Sovereignty with pro vax or anti vax side topic

    the issue is:

    whether ANYONE has a say or a RIGHT to have authority over OUR bodies

    then their title would be: MASTER

    and i, for one, have none



    its time they consider how that word would sound rolling out of their mouths and if it doesn't feel quite right? ... perhaps the time has come to say so ...

    We should defend our way of life
    to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed,

    so that any adversary
    will never make such an attempt in the future.

    wow!! this is HUGE! and oh so true!


    if it pierces through the "Veil" and allows hearts to be opened?

    eyes to "see"?

    and ears to "hear"?

    it can be over in heart beat

    just like that!

    all it has ever taken is for those who truly love FREEDOM?

    is to stand up and CHOOSE it ...

    Freedom and Liberty for all... are now sacred words to me

    i guess this happens when you come thisclose to losing either ...

    the POSSIBILITY this holds? moves me profoundly

    We should defend our way of life
    to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed,

    so that any adversary
    will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Edit. Edit. Edit......

    Here is a video that is timely, but EXTremely time consuming.....Fast Forward Often....It may or may not be worth the exercise.

    The first hour of this video made sense.
    It was inclusive of many salient issues facing humanity at this time. I would say that the rest of the video contains many factual references.....but that is only a small part of it's content and a mere reference to the energy that overtakes a human when mesmerized by the dehumanizing sounds and sights of war....

    https://rumble.com/vnfz7v-u.s.-soldi...rself-now.html


    It misses the reasons...the intent of the corporate orders all modern militaries follow....until those rare times like 2021 when that demon, that devil of all wars insists on each one to make a stand. For a four hour long film it misses all of the victims, except for one quote from a long serving retiree.

    Then,,,,,and this is a very Big Then.....
    It went all Tik Tok and became something very different INDEED, on many levels.


    Schizo. Soft Porn. Country and Rap. In and Out. Honest. To the point, but it gives you an idea of what it's like to live with your head on a swivel, to live in fear, going thru being afraid, yet taking it head on. It's been the military life for decades, for ever. Now you know...

    If you're a civilian it might be good to get a taste of what's going on. You can get the expressions of very intelligent and angry people standing up, with their careers in their hands, defying a civilian dictate given that orders them to commit suicide by needle.

    Add onto it the music, the fast paced imagery, the balance of men and women mouth syncing to songs, to righteous rap, and you know this is made by modern soldiers with a heavy dose of military indoctrination, finally waking up. I get it, the fact that they are doing their best to inform the public that they too have always been psy-op'd. They have known for a long, long while.

    Even so, they must know we stand with them on this. My real brothers and sisters are all over the world, bat **** crazy at times...dealing with the decisions they made when they joined and chose to stay to protect those they serve with, to secure their financial future in retirement and health benefits, far away from any objective, any mission, any target.

    The language is that of a psyops factory straight out of military training. One thing that anyone mk'd would immediately notice is that the editors of the video are heavily f'd with. It's a highly inhumane world that is levels beyond warfare in the past, as it is working hard to remove humanity in many ways. War in it's real world view always restricts listening.....to those affected by it's reach....to the families destroyed....to themselves....

    The video is the music, the noise of awakening....and to those awake it is real family finally standing together. It is understandable that those stuck in perpetual war, a war drowned in mind control at it's finest, work hard to remove themselves from the killing machines they have manned for centuries...

    It fits the mindset of all of the psy-ops the American Citizenry has paid for, almost since it's beginning. So, for that reason, if you can sit through some of it, I mean sift thru some of it, you'll get a little bit of what it's like to be a modern day soldier



    However, with all of this known, it does not leave me to erase the post without this video in it.

    This long video, 4hours 29minutes 23seconds, covers the widest spectrum of scientific and soulful exposure of the darkness now facing "civilization". If after seeing this, best viewed in segments, it is not clear what humanity is dealing with.....check your pulse to see if you're still alive.

    It says about as much as need be said about the tyranny underfoot in the states, in the world. HOWEVER, enough people are standing well grounded in their beliefs in the human rights of all, especially in the right to choose health over servitude and possible injury or death.

    Those who choose compliance to tyranny will be victims of that tyranny.

    This video, the first in a 4 part series, covers doctors, clinical scientists, nurses, military medical personnel, and other career, oath bound, moral centered, ethical servants of humanity giving up their financial security, their career goals and even some loving personal relationships now under great stress.....either a measure of real Love or those lacking internal strength, courage enough to stay.

    "We made this crowdsourced documentary series in collaboration with Special Forces. It features many soldiers, Marines, operators, IC members, police, sheriffs, marshals, veterans, doctors, nurses and patriots from all walks of life who are risking everything to defend the American people and freedom worldwide.

    The fog of war is about to get extremely thick. To counter confusion, we are releasing the first 4-parts of this series in one 4-hour video file here.

    Here is the statement we put out:

    National Security Alert: Act of War, Thousands of U.S. Special Forces and Combat Troops Discharged as Total Force ‘Vaccination’ Decimates Military Readiness."

    NOTE TO MYSELF:
    Watch the whole damn thing before posting, even if I do think it's worth the walk into the darkness later on.

    Conservative MP David Amess stabbed multiple times at constituents' surgery

    This has only broken in the news in the past half-hour or so; he is the Conservative MP for Southend in Essex. Not many details so far.

    I'm wondering who will be blamed for this. A 'lone nut'? Jab protesters?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58929453

    Update;

    Reported at 1505 that the police said that David Amess died at the scene of the attack.

    I sincerely hope 'Jab Protesters' are not responsible or even blamed for his death. It would play fortuitously into the MSM and Tory Party hands if this was the case.

    It's positively scary what a RELIEF it is to hear simple common sense being spoken by Florida's governor-- it's become such a rarity.

    Bill Clinton hospitalized with sepsis…

    CBS Los Angeles reports:



    "The 75-year-old Clinton is in the ICU with a urinary tract infection that spread to his bloodstream.

    CBS News medical contributor Dr. David Argus, who has been in contact with Clinton’s lead doctor, was given permission to discuss the president’s case on “CBS Mornings” Friday.

    “He’s doing dramatically better, back to his normal sense, joking with staff, and back to the former President Clinton that we all know and loved,” Argus said.

    The former president was in Southern California for some Clinton Foundation events when he became ill Tuesday.

    “At the first event, he started to feel lightheaded, nausea, vomiting, was brought to a hospital, and at that hospital was found to have an infection in his blood,” Argus said. “They did a CAT scan, looked all over his body, and even his brain, and the infection source was found to be the urine.”

    Video taken in the early morning hours Friday, showed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leaving UCI Medical Center escorted by Secret Service agents and local police."

    the mask has become a convenient way to, pardon the pun, "mask" one's identity ... many questioned whether the woman pictured was, in fact, Hilary Clinton

    which then would bring into question ALL facts as reported by media


    often when news of tragedy strikes people think back on events that had the greatest impact on others

    The Clinton scandals are numerous, from Whitewater to Uranium One. Vince Foster’s death, Travelgate, Troopergate, Filegate, Cattle Futures, Paula Jones, Jennifer Flowers, Monika Lewinsky, Chinagate, Pardongate, Benghazi, the Clinton Foundation, Humagate, Anthony Weiner, Haiti, and Hillary’s likely treason via her private email server are just a few.

    though one that had a WORLDWIDE impact stands out among the many for me:

    Bill Clinton And The Deadly Arkansas Tainted Blood Scandal




    poster from movie FACTOR 8 which exposed it

    Excerpt from News with Views:

    "Rarely do you hear about the horrific Arkansas prison plasma program that led from the Arkansas Governor’s mansion to the White House. The whole story is in a fast-paced thriller written as fiction to protect the author. Michael Sullivan’s book, Blood Trail is the true story of the Arkansas prison tainted blood scandal that has infected thousands of Canadians with either hepatitis C or AIDS through blood transfusions. Michael Galster, writing under the pen name Michael Sullivan, was a prosthetic/orthotic practitioner in Arkansas.

    For more than two decades, the Arkansas prison system sold blood plasma from inmates infected with viral hepatitis and AIDS. Blood from prisons was 69 times more contaminated than that of the general population of donors. Thousands of unwitting victims died as a result from receiving transfusions from a product called Factor 8 made from this blood. Factor 8 is a clotting protein to stop or prevent bleeding in people with hemophilia.

    Governor Bill Clinton and HMA

    Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas when the Canadian blood supply was contaminated in the mid-80s. He was familiar with the operations of the now defunct Health Management Associates (HMA). They were the Arkansas firm that was given a contract by Clinton’s state administration to provide medical care to prisoners.

    In the process, HMA was also permitted by the state to collect prisoners’ blood and sell it elsewhere. The Governor was a friend of HMA president Leonard Dunn, a political ally, who boasted of the friendship in 1986 to Arkansas police who conducted a probe of the allegations HMA was providing poor medical care to inmates. He was appointed by Clinton to sit on the Arkansas Industrial Development Commission and served as finance chair of Clinton’s 1990 gubernatorial campaign. Later that same year, Dunn purchased the infamous Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan from Clinton’s business partner James McDougal (Whitewater).

    In the early 80s, U.S. companies that fractionate blood products (separating the various components of blood plasma) had stopped buying prison blood because it was widely known that since many prisoners practiced unsafe sex or were intravenous drug users, they posed a high risk of carrying the AIDS virus.

    However, HMA found a willing buyer in Continental Pharma, a Montreal blood broker, which in turn sold the plasma to Toronto based blood fractionator Connaught Laboratories. Connaught apparently did not realize the plasma had come from inmates.

    The details of HMA’s links to Clinton were reported after copies of internal reports were obtained from the Arkansas State Police dating back to the mid-80s."

    read full article here


    Inmates Paid for Selling Their Blood

    At the Cummins Unit of the Arkansas penal system during the 1980s, while President Clinton was still governor, inmates would regularly cross the prison hospital’s threshold to give blood, knowing they’d receive $7 a pint. HMA not only made money from providing medical care to prisoners, but it also started a profitable side venture: blood mining. HMA sold the blood on the international plasma market for $50 a pint, splitting 50 percent of the proceeds with the Arkansas Department of Corrections.

    Since Arkansas is one of the few states that does not pay prisoners for their labor, inmates were willing and frequent donors at the so-called “blood clinic.” Hundreds of prisoners sold as much as two pints a week to HMA. The blood was then sold to pharmaceutical companies, such as Bayer and Baxter International, blood banks such as the Red Cross, and so-called blood fractionizers, which transformed the blood into medicines for hemophiliacs.

    Prisoners lined up to give their blood and administrators then sold the blood to brokers, who in turn shipped it to other states, and to Japan, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Canada and even Scotland. Despite repeated warnings from the FDA, Arkansas kept its prison plasma program running until 1994, when it became the very last state to cease selling its prisoners’ plasma."

    Australia was heavily impacted as well so here is an abstract from university of Sydney here

    UK and Canada as well read here

    even the encyclopedia of Arkansas has recorded the event here

    Factor 8 which exposed and documented articles here and here and here


    edit to add:

    this might just be the only thing Hillary ever said that was completely true:

    it is my personal belief that the trajectory of Life is neither originated at birth nor terminated at death

    but rather a continuous journey which encompasses the myriad of experiences and records OUR reactions and responses to each

    may the experiences of Bill Clinton serve him in his evolutionary growth while they still can ..

    for both his sake ... and ours

    We should defend our way of life
    to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed,

    so that any adversary
    will never make such an attempt in the future.
