Expect THIS On Election Night and the Days Following [From Noah]

As I write this article, we are exactly 13 days away from the most important Presidential Election in United States history. It’s so important that Elon Musk has basically taken time off from building rockets and sportscars to actively campaign for President Trump in Pennsylvania… Others like Robert F. Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard have joined forces and swapped teams in order to do their part…. And it’s shaping up to be potentially the most hectic and chaotic election of our lifetimes. But the big question we all want to know is….what’s going to happen? So I wanted to take a moment and share with you what I am personally expecting to see.  Not what I’m HOPING to see, but some things I’m expecting or at least preparing for. First up, the million dollar question: will they steal another one?  Or will it be TOO BIG to Rig? My hunch is yes and yes. I think they have no choice but to try and rig it again, in some way.  Probably multiple ways. But will President Trump’s strength be too much to over come?  Too big to rig?  I think so. In fact, Patrick Bet-David places the odds of a Trump electoral college victory at 291-247 right now: Our election result prediction at this hour: Trump 291 Harris 247 What do you think? 1. Go to https://t.co/O0dvHjgLoh2. Make your election picks 3. Reply and post your screenshot. pic.twitter.com/UxzYEdZliF — Patrick Bet-David (@patrickbetdavid) October 20, 2024 I think it will be even bigger than that once the dust settles, but it’s that last part that’s the real key….the dust settling. I think they know it’s going to be too big to rig and that’s why you’re seeing so much panicked behavior all of a sudden.  So many strange things. Of course we had the two assassination attempts…. Now you see a lot of anger seeping out from Harris and Walz, and I think that’s because they know what their internal polling data is telling them: it’s bad.  Really bad. So they’re lashing out and grasping at straws, trying to do anything they can, but ultimately becoming more and more chaotic the closer we get to the election and the bigger President Trump’s lead grows. But will they still try to steal it? I believe so. I don’t think they have a choice. But that’s where it gets interesting…. I think it’s very possible we will the following: (1) no winner announced on election night, sound familiar? (2) A Kamala Harris win announced the following day or week.  And then (3) the eventually exposure of the steal and a reversal to a Trump win. I hope I’m wrong, but if we get exactly that pattern, watch out for some wild and potentially very dangerous times! Which is why I’m publishing this in advance and warning everyone. I hope I’m wrong. I hope President Trump is declared the outright winner on election night or the day after.  That would be best.  But I fear that may not happen. But I do continue to believe that President Trump “has it all”. It’s why I think both he and Elon Musk appear so unnaturally calm right now in the face of everything. They both appear to me to be acting like men who know they’re already holding the “Trump Card” (so to speak) and they’re just waiting to play it. I think the odds are better than 50/50 that President Trump caught them in the act in 2020 and 2022 and he’s been holding all that evidence.  And I think he will catch them again in 2024, which is why he keeps posting online about how he will prosecute everyone who cheats in this election.  He’s posted that many times. I write more about all of that right here: How Can President Trump Possibly Remain So CALM? I Think You’re Going To LOVE How This Story Ends! But that's all only the beginning.... Because I agree with what Mike Adams (The Health Ranger) wrote recently on Twitter: I've come to the conclusion that globalists really don't care who wins the upcoming election because they have nefarious plans for each scenario. If Kamala wins, they destroy America through tyranny, political persecution, censorship and military violence against the American… — HealthRanger (@HealthRanger) October 19, 2024 I've come to the conclusion that globalists really don't care who wins the upcoming election because they have nefarious plans for each scenario. If Kamala wins, they destroy America through tyranny, political persecution, censorship and military violence against the American people, probably with another staged "insurrection" involving the fed-run Patriot Front clown actors. If Trump wins, they do a rug pull on infrastructure and collapse everything out from under Trump in 2025: Banking, currency, power grid, food supply, rule of law, etc. Either way, they get the chaos they want, and they turn America into a battlefield. Remember they have millions of military-aged men already occupying the USA with access to weapons including mortars, RPGs, surface-to-air missiles, anti-personnel mines, etc. That "asset" will be activated at the time that best contributes to mass chaos and collapse across America. It might occur right after the election, or any time up to and including January, or even right after Trump is sworn in if we are fortunate enough to get there. This whole scenario will likely be initiated by a nuclear weapon detonated in the USA, blamed on Iran, so that Trump (or Kamala) will launch nukes on Iran. If you want to know who sets off that nuke, ask yourself cui bono? I think he's spot on.... And it's exactly what Jovan Pulitzer told me a few days ago too. It's going to be UGLY after this election no matter what. If Kamala wins, we all know why it's going to be ugly and it's going to go on for 4 years and you will not recognize the United States at the end of those four years.  That's what we call the permanent ugly. It's why Elon Musk has gotten so heavily involved, because he knows there's likely no coming back from that.  It would truly be the end of the United States as we know it. That's not hyperbole or exaggeration.... The world's richest man and busiest man does not suddenly pause his life to campaign for President Trump in Pennsylvania for a month unless he believes these are truly life or death stakes for our country and for all of us. That's the permanent ugly. But there's a different kind of ugly if Trump wins.... To recap, I think it's possible we go through a rollercoaster of an announced Kamala win, the steal revealed, Trump named the true winner....and then the "temporary ugly". As Mike Adams explains above, this will be the period of time where they play every last card they have. They had hoped to stop him as a candidate.... They threw four different lawsuits at him, tried to jail him, tried to bankrupt him. When none of that worked they tried to kill him....twice. And with all of that failed and President Trump in office for a second term, they will have no choice but to destroy this country from within. We're talking about things like crashing the stock market.... Starting more world wars and conflicts, perhaps having China immediately invade Taiwan.... Perhaps launching the REAL pandemic.... The goal will be to create so much instability and chaos that President Trump will be unable to do anything but respond to one massive crisis after another. Think 2020 on steroids. When they launched that "global planned-demic" President Trump's progress on everything else came to a screeching halt. People locked in their houses.... The economy entirely shut down.... And that was a for a "Fake Pandemic".  I always said that was the test run. Do they launch the real one now? Imagine a real pandemic that is actually serious and deadly combined with a crashing stock market and economy? All the puzzle pieces are lined up, and this current house of cards is hanging on by a thread just waiting for someone to knock over the very first matchstick and I believe the whole thing will tumble and go up in flames like you've never seen before. Doomy and gloomy huh? Sorry but I have to print what I see and warn you about what I'm seeing. As I said above, I HOPE I'm wrong! But I'd rather be prepared and ready and then wrong, than unprepared and knocked out by something I never saw coming. Now here's the good news....we WILL get through this! We will rise from the ashes! And there is no better man to do it than Donald J. Trump! The other good news is in the destruction and the burning, a lot of the bad things will also be destroyed. In fact, in many ways, this will be very good for us long term. It's like what you have to burn out the diseased part to save the living part.... We will burn out and destroy the toxic parasites that have infected our country for over a century. Burn it all down. And we will rebuild a Constitutional Republic in its place. The destruction of "Corporate USA" and the restoration of the Constitutional Republic. The Great Reset?  No. The Great Rebuilding and Great Awakening! I've been telling you since 2016 this was coming: So that's my take... We can and we will get through this together! I pray for the "Temporary Ugly" and I pray for strength and courage as we all band together to get through this. Mike Adams is a great resource on this topic and he's been putting out some very serious warnings recently. I go more in depth on all of this here: Health Ranger Mike Adams: “200 Million Americans DEAD By 2025”? Health Ranger Mike Adams: "200 Million Americans DEAD By 2025"? If anyone else would have published the Tweet I'm about to show you, I wouldn't be covering this. But this is a Tweet just posted by my good friend Mike Adams. Many of you know Mike, he's the "Health Ranger" and Founder of Brighteon and Natural News which each receive millions of views each month. Why? Because people trust Mike and his outlook, and so do I. So when Mike Adams posts something like this I take notice: I'm not even sure exactly how to put this into words, but the vast majority of people reading this - possibly YOU - have literally no idea what's about to happen to America. Unless there is a miraculous intervention by angels or white hats, your country will not be recognizable… — HealthRanger (@HealthRanger) October 19, 2024 FULL TEXT: I'm not even sure exactly how to put this into words, but the vast majority of people reading this - possibly YOU - have literally no idea what's about to happen to America. Unless there is a miraculous intervention by angels or white hats, your country will not be recognizable by the end of January. Quite a few of you reading this right now will already be dead by then, and a much larger number of you will see a significant portion of your dollar assets evaporate into nearly nothing. The rule of law will have collapsed, and there is a significant chance that tens of millions of Americans will have no infrastructure functioning at all, either due to an EMP detonation, a cyber attack on the power grid, or the outbreak of nuclear war. Simultaneously, many millions of foreign occupiers are already in the country with weapons and instructions, and they will soon be activated to carry out mass sabotage and extermination operations, aided by the U.S. military which has just been given new lawful authority to assassinate American citizens on U.S. soil. If Trump wins, the deep state will activate EVERYTHING they have. Every weapon and every Samson option, including nuking ourselves and deliberately collapsing the entire western banking system in a "great taking" financial reset. Deagel's prediction that 200 million Americans will be dead by the end of 2025 no longer looks outlandish. It is one of the very likely outcomes of where things are headed, and if the deep state gets its way, every city in America will burn, every American will be slaughtered and at least one quarter of the global human population (about 2 billion people) will be exterminated. Prepare accordingly if you wish to survive. And survival will be hell, by the way. There are no easy outcomes ahead. Folks, I wish I could say that sounded ridiculous to me, but it doesn't. In fact, Jovan Pulitzer told me something very similar the last time he was on my show.  He said things are going to be very ugly after the election no matter who wins, it's only a matter of how long they stay ugly.  If Kamala wins, it's over for America and you haven't seen anything like what's to come.  But if Trump wins, they will unleash everything they have, and it will be ugly for a while -- a shorter period, but still a very dark time to get through. So now that both Jovan Pulitzer and Mike Adams are making this warning, I'm passing it along to warn you! Because that's what we do here as Watchmen on the Wall. But then I noticed this from Patrick Bet-David -- he's picking up on the exact same theme, so add one more really smart guy to the warning train: WARNING! Nothing will be off the table the next 17 days to try to manipulate YOU. Deepfake Potential cyber attack Power going down A new creative crisis A possible black swan event Fake stories Losing phone service shortage of gas They’ll create any kind of fear to… — Patrick Bet-David (@patrickbetdavid) October 19, 2024 Ok, so what now? Thank for the bad news Noah, so glad I read this? Well, not exactly.... You see, I post these things so you can get READY!  Get prepared!  Know what is coming so you are not surprised when it hits. That means mentally prepared... Physically prepared... And prepared with supplies if you can afford them. It's always a good idea to do a little "prepping" and to have an emergency food kit stash on hand, but now more than ever I feel pressed to get this message out. Go to the grocery store and stock up on things that you can eat with the power off.  Things that don't need a stove or oven or microwave to cook.  There are plenty of things you can get there. As another option, I can get you a deal from my friends over at MyPatriotSupply!  These guys are the best and they will take very good care of you if you'd like to get a pre-packed kit. Just go here: GET A 3-MONTH EMERGENCY FOOD KIT HERE (while they last): GET A 3-MONTH EMERGENCY FOOD KIT HERE (while they last) And I want to end with a deeper dive into an EMP attack like Mike mentions... Because I've covered this in-depth before and I don't think he's wrong. This is one of my top fears and vulnerabilities I think America has right now. Details: Here’s Why I Think An “EMP” Is The Biggest Threat To America Right Now Here's Why I Think An "EMP" Is The Biggest Threat To America Right Now What is the biggest threat to America....right now? Joe Biden?  Certainly he's not helping things. Barack Obama?  The puppet master behind Biden. Soros?  The puppet master behind Biden. China?  Always on the list. Democrats? RINOs? Election theft? Nuclear attack? All of these things are serious threats, but I want to tell you about something often not discussed....but the impact could be bigger than anything above. Yes, really. It's called an EMP attack. What's an "EMP" anyway? Good question! An EMP, or Electromagnetic Pulse, is a powerful burst of energy that can disrupt or damage electronic devices and electrical systems. It's like a super strong wave of energy that can mess with anything that uses electricity. This includes cell phones, computers, cars, and even the power grid that gives electricity to homes and businesses. You may have heard about it before, but it's not commonly discussed. So let me break it all down for you... Likelihood of an EMP Attack: Technological Feasibility: Creating an effective EMP weapon is technologically challenging. It typically involves nuclear detonations at high altitudes or sophisticated non-nuclear devices. The complexity of these technologies limits their availability mostly to advanced military powers. Global Politics and Deterrence: The United States has strong diplomatic relations and defense systems, which act as deterrents against direct attacks from other major powers. The doctrine of mutually assured destruction (MAD) often serves as a deterrent against nuclear-based EMP attacks, as such an attack could lead to a full-scale nuclear war. Non-State Actors: The greater risk may come from non-state actors (like terrorist groups) who might not be deterred by traditional means. However, their access to the necessary technology is typically quite limited. Natural EMPs: There is also the risk of a natural EMP caused by a solar storm, similar to the Carrington Event of 1859. While not a deliberate attack, the effects could be similarly disruptive. Most Likely Ways an EMP Could Happen: High-Altitude Nuclear Detonation: A nuclear bomb detonated high in the atmosphere could create a powerful EMP. This would require intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capabilities. Non-Nuclear EMP Devices: These devices can be designed to target specific areas or systems without the broader destruction caused by nuclear weapons. However, their effective range and power are generally less than a nuclear EMP. Cyber-Physical Attacks: A coordinated cyber-attack on power grids and electronic systems could mimic some effects of an EMP, though technically different. Solar Storms: A severe solar storm hitting the Earth could create natural EMP effects, disrupting electrical systems and communications. The Fallout From an EMP: Power Outage: EMPs can knock out electricity everywhere, like turning off a big light switch for a whole city or even a country. No Internet or Phones: Imagine not being able to call, text, or use the internet. That's what happens with an EMP. Water Supply Issues: Without power, getting clean water to homes and buildings becomes really hard. Food Shortage: Stores need electricity to keep food fresh. Without it, a lot of food can go bad quickly. No Heating or Air Conditioning: Houses and buildings would lose heating in winter and air conditioning in summer. Hospitals Struggle: Hospitals rely on power for life-saving equipment. An EMP could put many lives at risk. Transportation Problems: Cars, buses, and trains might not work, making it tough to get around. Banking and Money Problems: ATMs and credit card machines need power, so buying things could become really difficult. Emergency Services Disrupted: Police, fire, and ambulance services could be severely affected. Danger to Airplanes: Planes flying when an EMP hits could have serious trouble. Schools Closing: With no power, schools might have to close. No Radio or TV: News and entertainment through radio and TV would be cut off. Damage to Electronics: An EMP can break things like computers, TVs, and even some toys. Industrial Shutdowns: Factories and other big workplaces would have to stop work. Fuel Shortages: Gas stations need power to pump gas, so cars might run out of fuel. Increased Crime: Without alarms or streetlights, there might be more thefts and other crimes. Health Risks from Spoiled Food: Without fridges, food can spoil and make people sick. Waste Disposal Problems: Trash and sewage systems might not work properly. Mental Health Stress: The sudden change and uncertainty can be really stressful and scary for people. Long-Term Recovery: Fixing everything after an EMP can take a really long time and be very hard. Life In America Following an EMP Attack: Week 1: Immediate Chaos and Confusion In the immediate aftermath, there would be widespread panic and confusion. The EMP, having disabled all electronics, would leave individuals without means of communication; cell phones, internet, and radio would be rendered useless. Transportation systems would grind to a halt. Modern vehicles with electronic components would fail, leading to widespread traffic jams and stranded individuals. Emergency services would be severely hampered, struggling to respond to incidents without their usual communication and transportation infrastructure. There would be a run on stores for essential supplies as people quickly realize the severity of the situation. This could lead to shortages and even looting in some areas. Week 2-3: Adapting to the New Reality Communities would begin to adapt. Those with older, non-electronic vehicles and equipment would find themselves at an advantage. People would turn to bicycles, horses, or simply walking for transportation. The lack of refrigeration and electronic banking systems would lead to a reliance on cash transactions and bartering. Localized trading systems might emerge. Battery-operated or hand-crank radios would become vital sources of information, assuming some radio stations could continue broadcasting. There would be a significant increase in manual labor as machines and automated systems used in manufacturing and agriculture would be non-operational. Week 4 and Beyond: Long-Term Adjustments Social structures would begin to shift, with communities becoming more localized and self-sufficient. Neighbors would need to work together for survival, leading to a resurgence of community-oriented living. Food shortages could become a serious issue. Without modern transportation and preservation methods, communities would have to rely on locally sourced food, leading to a rise in gardening and small-scale farming. Health care would face severe challenges. Hospitals would struggle without modern equipment, leading to a reliance on more traditional methods of treatment and an increased need for medical knowledge within communities. Education would revert to non-digital methods. Schools, if they remained open, would rely on books and oral teaching methods. Over time, there might be efforts to rebuild some form of electrical infrastructure, but this would be a slow and difficult process given the extent of the damage caused by the EMP. Now you see what I'm talking about? As usual, I don't like to just leave you hanging with the bad news....I like to give you solutions! And I have one here. You know I've got you covered! There ARE things you can do right now to make sure you and your family will stay safe and be able to survive in the event we end up living through an EMP strike.

MUST SEE: Bombshell Old Bill Gates, Trump, RFK Vaccine Video Found!

Fate loves irony, it seems to be one of the true maxims of the universe. Or as Elon Musk puts it, the most entertaining outcome is the most likely. So after having his Microsoft Windows platform plagued for DECADES by viruses (and Steve Jobs’ Apple ecosystem is naturally immune to them), Bill Gates quite literally seems to have built up an insane fascination with eradicating all viruses. Unfortunately for us, he’s no longer working just in the computer world, he’s now experimenting mostly on us — humans. A new video has just been found which shows Bill Gates bragging about how he was talking with Donald Trump back in 2017 and Donald Trump was working with “some man, his name was Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.” on investigating the links between vaccines and problems like autism and other childhood diseases. Gates proudly brags in the video that he talked President Trump out of doing that, told him that would be a “very bad idea”. Wow. Watch this short clip: “President Trump was considering a commission to look into the ill-effects of vaccines by someone named Robert Kennedy Jr. who was advising him. I said that’s a dead end…don’t do that…” -Bill Gates on RFK jr. pic.twitter.com/dVxLrAiwaO — Liz Churchill (@liz_churchill10) August 24, 2024 And for anyone who says that clip is edited or low quality and hard to know what he is saying, here is the higher quality version posted by MSNBC of all places. And even MSNBC confirms that is the EXACT correct dialogue. Watch here and then scroll down for the full transcript: Transcript: MSNBC Host: You ever wonder what people who’ve actually met Donald Trump—especially powerful, successful people in American business and beyond who’ve had to try and interact with him because he’s the leader of the free world—say about those encounters behind closed doors? All In has obtained some never-before-seen footage that gives you a good idea of what one of the wealthiest men in the world, Bill Gates, thinks of the president. Gates took questions during a recent Gates Foundation meeting with staff, and he talked about meeting Donald Trump. Here’s what he had to say: Bill Gates: Before he was elected, there was an election event where he and I were at the same place. This horse show thing in Florida. He went up and talked to my wife, Melinda, and was being super nice. Then, like 20 minutes later, he flew in on a helicopter to the same place. So, clearly, he had been driven away and wanted to make a grand entrance in a helicopter. Anyway, so when I first talked to him, it was actually kind of scary how well he knew… how much he knew about my daughter’s appearance. Melinda didn’t like that. Well, anyway, I saw him after he won the election, and I said, “Hey, science and innovation are great things. You should be a leader who drives innovation.” That conversation was about a broad set of things in energy, health, and education—big things you want to do. I said, “If you want to do a big HIV vaccine initiative, you could accelerate that and be associated with innovation.” It was in March after that—so, March 2017—in the White House. In both of those two meetings, he asked me if vaccines weren’t a bad thing because he was considering a commission to look into the ill effects of vaccines. Somebody, his name was Robert Kennedy Jr., was advising him that vaccines were causing problems. I said, “Don’t do that.” Both times, he wanted to know if there was a difference between HIV and HPV. So I was able to explain that those are rarely confused with each other. MSNBC Host: Oh, but wait, there’s more, including how President Trump talks about himself next. Bill Gates: When I walked in, his first sentence kind of threw me off. He said, “Trump hears that you don’t like what Trump is doing, Trump.” Chris Hayes: Hey there, I’m Chris Hayes from MSNBC. Thanks for watching MSNBC on YouTube. If you want to keep up to date with the videos we’re putting out, you can click subscribe just below me or click over on this list to see lots of other great videos. There’s a reason 5+ million people trust our reporting each month. It’s because we originally first alerted you to this story back in 2022! Here was my original report back then: FLASHBACK: Bill Gates Says “I stopped Trump from investigating vaccines” The #1 question I get from people is “what’s up with President Trump and the vaccine?” People are very confused because for years President Trump was very vocally against vaccines, or at the very least very skeptical of them. Now he proudly touts pushing what appears to be the most deadly vaccine of all. So what gives? Well, if you can believe him, Bill Gates has the answer. A newly resurfaced video from 2018 shows Bill Gates claiming that he (Gates) talked President Trump out of investigating vaccines. Yes, really. And this was from an interview posted back in 2018, so it was before the pandemic ever broke out. Here’s one clip: “In both of those two meetings [with Donald Trump], he asked me if vaccines weren’t a bad thing, because he was considering a commission to look into ill-effects of vaccines… And I said “No… that would be a bad thing, don’t do that.”” Wow. It’s only a 3 minute clip, watch it for yourself here: And since that will probably get taken down any second now, I have a backup. Watch the backup here on Rumble: It seems to me like Bill Gates of Hell has been planning a lot of demonic things for a very long time. Anyone remember when he predicted a “killer virus” would soon come that would wipe out 30 million people? And yes, that would be exactly 1 year before the C19 pandemic hit. Prediction or causation? You decide. Read this from Business Insider in 2018: If there’s one thing that we know from history, it’s that a deadly new disease will arise and spread around the globe. That could happen easily within the next decade. And as Bill Gates told listeners on Friday at a discussion about epidemics hosted by the Massachusetts Medical Society and the New England Journal of Medicine, we’re not ready. Gates acknowledged that he’s usually the optimist in the room, reminding people that we’re lifting children out of poverty around the globe and getting better at eliminating diseases like polio and malaria. But “there’s one area though where the world isn’t making much progress,” Gates said, “and that’s pandemic preparedness.” The likelihood that such a disease will appear continues to rise. New pathogens emerge all the time as the world population increases and humanity encroaches on wild environments. It’s becoming easier and easier for individual people or small groups to create weaponized diseases that could spread like wildfire around the globe. According to Gates, a small non-state actor could build an even deadlier form of smallpox in a lab. And in our interconnected world, people are always hopping on planes, crossing from cities on one continent to those on another in a matter of hours. Gates presented a simulation by the Institute for Disease Modeling that found that a new flu like the one that killed 50 million people in the 1918 pandemic would now most likely kill 30 million people within six months. And the disease that next takes us by surprise is likely to be one we see for the first time at the start of an outbreak, like what happened recently with SARS and MERS viruses. If you were to tell the world’s governments that weapons that could kill 30 million people were under construction right now, there’d be a sense of urgency about preparing for the threat, Gates said. “In the case of biological threats, that sense of urgency is lacking,” he said. “The world needs to prepare for pandemics in the same serious way it prepares for war.” Stopping the next pandemic The one time the military tried a sort of simulated war game against a smallpox pandemic, the final score was “smallpox one, humanity zero,” Gates said. But he reiterated that he’s an optimist, saying he thinks we could better prepare for the next viral or bacterial threat. In some ways, we’re better prepared now than we were for previous pandemics. We have antiviral drugs that can in many cases do at least something to improve survival rates. We have antibiotics that can treat secondary infections like pneumonia associated with the flu. We’re also getting closer to a universal flu vaccine; Gates announced on Friday that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation would offer $12 million in grants to encourage its development. And we’re getting better at rapid diagnosis too — which is essential, as the first step toward fighting a new disease is quarantine. Just this week, a new research paper in the journal Science touted the development of a way to use the gene-editing technology Crispr to rapidly detect diseases and identify them using the same sort of paper strip used in a home pregnancy test. But we’re not yet good enough at rapidly identifying the threat from a disease and coordinating a response, as the global reaction to the latest Ebola epidemic showed. There needs to be better communication between militaries and governments to help coordinate responses, Gates said. And he thinks governments need ways to quickly enlist the help of the private sector when it comes to developing technology and tools to fight an emerging deadly disease. You know what else it reminds me of? It reminds me of Dr. Fraudci in 2017 predicting there would be a “surprise outbreak” coming for Trump to deal with. Yes, really. They have tried to scrub this video from the Internet but luckily I saved a copy. Watch here on Rumble: Pretty easy to predict a “surprise outbreak” if you cause it in a Wuhan lab and just let it slip out, huh? Oh, and one last one. Anyone remember “Event 201”? A group called Cyber Polygon put on a “simulation” of a global pandemic. The date? October 2019. Literally just a few months before the real thing broke out. Yup, take a look here if you doubt me: Just like they simulated Covid with event 201. They’ve just done the same with cyber.. https://t.co/iswqAW0j7e — Gator Trader (@FLGatorTrader) July 19, 2021 Remember #Event201 ??? https://t.co/zRsFbjDUew — Trish Lemmon (@Trish_Lemmon) July 20, 2021 https://twitter.com/Jeff28809858/status/1418310463079686145 Folks, did they all have this planned out YEARS in advance? All working together? And why is Bill Gates suddenly in the news so much these days? Have you seen this? WARNING: Bill Gates’ New “Fake Food Product” APEEL Is Now Approved For Organic Produce Bill Gates creeps me out. Somehow the man who couldn’t solve viruses on a computer appointed himself in charge of viruses for human beings. Tell me how that makes sense!? It doesn’t! But not satisfied to stop there, he can’t stop himself from tinkering with our food supply. The latest? APEEL – a new food coating and additive designed to go on produce. Basically an outer cover on fruit. You know, like a Banana PEEL that already has one? Bill apparently thinks God didn’t do a good enough design with his own peels, so Bill is trying to add more. Want to take any guesses on whether this will be good or bad for our food supply? A Bill Gates COATING onto your produce? YUCK. But here’s the latest: the FDA has now approved it for use with organic produce. Say what? Take a look: Bill Gates is at it again “How did the new APEEL coating, with the financial backing of Bill Gates get approved for use on organic produce?” “It’s registered with EPA as a pesticide” pic.twitter.com/Adq8LEz3kk — Concerned Citizen (@BGatesIsaPyscho) August 1, 2024 For more information on APEEL, keep reading because I have covered this extensively many times: WARNING: Have You Heard About Bill Gates’ New Company “Apeel”? This guy just doesn’t quit. And that would be admirable if you were doing great things, but messing with our food supply is not something I consider to be a great thing! And this guy just doesn’t stop. Most of us would tend to think God did a pretty good job creating cows, chickens and fruit. But not Bill Gates. Bill Gates seems to think he IS God…and he won’t stop messing with our food supply. Here’s the latest…. It’s a company called “Apeel” and they place a “protective coating” over the outside of fruits. Gee, what could go wrong? Take a look: Beware – this is GM Gates ‘Apeel’ crap – DO NOT BUY! https://t.co/C6PphHTXcV — TheSmallestMinority (@G0dsW8r) April 12, 2023 Here’s what people are saying: If you see the Apeel logo on any fruit and veg do not buy it, this is a Bill Gates and WEF company, this chemical makes things last 3x longer and cannot be washed off, in US and Canada at the moment. pic.twitter.com/vvby1dZVxE — Ella Proud Refusenik (@EleftheriaElpis) April 12, 2023 @asda Asda is the first UK retailer to introduce Apeel’s plant-based protection to increase shelf life and help reduce food waste.

You know, the “peel” that God created is no longer good enough. Unreal the arrogance and evil of this man: Apeel. Apeel is a dangerous product, Bill Gates investment, need I say more?

The Rockefeller Foundation, Andreesen Horowitz, and DBL Partners have also funded the startup over the years.https://t.co/IuSfer456K — Step #NoLockDowns (@beatthesystem1) April 12, 2023 Here’s what they say from their website: From Eater.com: Throwing out spoiled avocados may be a thing of the past, thanks to a California-based startup that counts Bill Gates among its backers. Apeel Sciences says it’s devised a way to keep avocados at peak ripeness for twice as long, Bloomberg reports, which could drastically cut back on food waste at grocery stores (and at the homes of avocado toast-loving millennials). Apeel uses recycled plant material to make a powder, which is then mixed with water and used to wash the avocados, resulting in a kind of “second skin” being applied to the fruit. According to the company, “Apeel keeps moisture inside produce and oxygen out, which dramatically slows the rate that produce spoils.” Apeel says its product is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, and has been tested on more than two dozen different types of fruits and vegetables, though for now it’s focusing on the pricey and popular avocado. The company is currently testing its product on avocados in a partnership with produce supplier Del Rey Avocados; they will be available in more than 100 Midwestern grocery stores, including 30 Costco locations. While avocados that stay ripe for longer would seemingly be welcome just about everywhere, it makes particular sense for them to be sold at Costco, the bulk retailer where avocados are sold in multi-count bags rather than individually. And from ASDA.com: Asda is set to begin a significant new programme in partnership with Apeel Sciences, which will introduce Citrus fruits and Avocados with plant-based protection in c150 stores, to increase shelf life and prevent food waste. It will be the first time that this technology has been used on this scale in the UK. Apeel’s plant-based protection is made from the same materials found in peels, seeds & pulp and its aim is to slow down the spoiling process. It works by sealing moisture in and keeping oxygen out so that quality and freshness can be maintained for longer, giving customers longer to enjoy their produce and thus helping to prevent food waste. Globally, food waste is a significant contributor to climate change, accounting for 8% of total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). In the UK alone, food waste is responsible for an estimated 36 million tonnes of GHG emissions every year, according to WRAP. The food waste that Asda hopes to avoid in partnership with Apeel will help the supermarket move towards its target of cutting waste by 50% by 2030. Asda Senior Director Dominic Edwards, said: “We are always looking for ways to improve the shelf life of our products and make it easier for our customers to make more sustainable food choices whilst making their money go further. We are really excited to be working with Apeel – bringing the great work they’ve been doing globally, to our UK customers. During this programme, we will be learning more about the benefits of longer-lasting produce for our customers, and we are looking forward to seeing what further developments this could lead to in the future.” Apeel CEO James Rogers, said: “Asda is obsessed with helping their customers’ budgets stretch farther. Now with the availability of longer-lasting produce, Asda has opened a new dimension of value for their shoppers. When shoppers have more time with their food, more of what they buy gets eaten instead of thrown away. How often does saving money help save the planet? It’s happening every day at Asda.” About Apeel Apeel is on a mission to create a more sustainable global food system by working with nature to use the power of materials and data sciences. Apeel’s plant-based protection allows for longer-lasting produce by using materials already found in the skins, peels, and seeds of all fruits and vegetables. This protective extra “peel” slows the water loss and oxidation that causes produce to spoil, and it’s the only proven solution for maintaining freshness from farm to kitchen. Apeel’s plant-based protection is available for an ever-growing number of categories and markets, including organic and conventionally grown produce. Additionally, Apeel is integrating new tools that will allow the food system to do more with the extra time created by Apeel’s plant-based protection. Farmers can sell more of what they grow, retailers can sell more of what they source, and people can enjoy more of what they buy, creating a healthier planet and greater abundance for all. Apeel is Food Gone Good. This is FAR from the first time Bill Gates has desired to alter our food supply. Have you seen this? Bill Gates Working With DFID To Put The Poison Vaxx In Cattle! Hello mRNA steaks! Would you like your steak well done? Medium? Medium rare? No matter what you choose it’s about to also come with a side of the mRNA poison vaxx! How wonderful! **BUT KEEP READING, I HAVE THE SOLUTION DOWN BELOW** And who do we have to thank? Why, Bill Gates of course! Or as some of you have dubbed him, “Kill Gates” as an homage to his penchant for bringing death and destruction seemingly everywhere he goes! Just ask all the little African children he jabbed. But I digress, that’s a different story. Today I want you to see how proud he looks announcing his new partnership with DFID to jab all our cattle and inject them with the toxin mRNA vaxx. Because: “science”. Duh! Watch: Bill Gates explains how he’s putting the JAB into our food supply in partnership with DFID. Injecting the cattle! #Evil #Poison #Jab #Vaxx #Cattle pic.twitter.com/VA9swgMR2p — DailyNoah.com (@DailyNoahNews) February 25, 2023 More here: Bill Gates: “Well, ‘The Gates Foundation’ has partnered with DFID on a great number of things – and among those are the work we do together on livestock. Helping animals survive either by having vaccines or better genetics.” (Part 3/4) pic.twitter.com/auCTgwObGv — Mad Mac (@Revelation2041) January 12, 2023 And longer video here: Look, I don’t know about you but I don’t want mRNA in my meat. I want to eat big, beautiful Black Angus RED MEAT the way God made it! The very fact they’re trying to poison the meat tells you all you need to know. Meat must be very good for you. Especially meat without antibiotics, without growth hormones, without chemicals….and definitely without mRNA! But thanks to “Kill Gates” and his friends like Klaus (Anal) Schwab, that kind of unadulterated meat is becoming harder and harder to find. Why do the big companies pump the cattle full of all this crap? In Bill Gates’ case, I think he truly believes in a depopulation agenda. For all the rest? It’s business, baby!  Big business!  Toxic Big Business! These big companies raise the cattle in stalls with no space in between them. The result? One cow gets sick, they all get sick! So to keep the operation going, they are constantly pumped full of hormones and antibiotics….and then guess what goes into your body when you eat them? Guess what goes into your kids bodies? Ever wonder why kids are starting puberty at younger and younger ages? Couldn’t be related to them eating meat pumped full of cow steroids, could it? But enough about the problem…. I NEVER leave you with just the problem. You better know I’ve got the solution! I’d like to introduce you to Black Angus beef, pasture raised on hundreds of thousands of acres. Free roaming with plenty of open air between all the cattle. Grass fed. No hormones and no antibiotics.  Never! Oh, and it’s CHEAPER than Omaha Steaks! BOOM, who loves ya baby! The only “catch”? It’s Invite only. Good thing you know someone that has the invites….(me!). If you’d like to find out more and get a FREE personal invite, just go here and tell them Noah sent you:  http://bit.ly/3E5K89d It’s the real deal, and because they don’t raise the Black Angus like the big companies do, they may have the SHUT OFF invites if they grow too fast. So if you want in, let me know soon. It’s all part of something bigger I’ve just started working on. Let me fill you in… When I started this website back in 2015 I started it because I was on a mission… I wanted to get the truth out to as many people as possible. The truth that wasn’t being covered anywhere else. I started with literally 0. Zero experience… Zero money… Zero backers… Zero readers… Zero of any of you! Along the way, we’ve built a massive community of people who love America and want to see our country become great again. We now average between 4 and 6 million readers EACH MONTH! And we’re growing again, pretty quickly. More importantly, the MISSION is growing! But we’ve also faced major opposition. Oh it hasn’t been easy by any stretch of the imagination. We were DELETED from Facebook after having 1.5 million people Follow and Love our Page! Just poof….one day, gone! We’ve been censored on almost every platform out there, emails sent to Junk or just “disappeared” despite people signing up over and over. Speaking of email, we’ve had two email companies ban us because they went Far-Left. So it hasn’t always been easy… But we’re on a MISSION and mission always wins out in the end. And today I want to tell you about an expansion of that mission. From Day 1, our mission has been about getting the truth out to as many people as we possibly can. But after being deleted, banned and censored by almost everyone out there, I realized pretty quick that we need a Parallel Economy! We need to stop sending our dollars to the corporations that hate us and want to see us gone! Remember the Georgia Guidestones? They literally told us they wanted to reduce us from 8 billion people on the Earth down to only 500 million. No big deal, right? Just an elimination of 94% of all people living right now. And yet we continue to shop at their big stores and send them our money, because until now we’ve had little choice. Well, today that changes. And today my mission EXPANDS… And I’m SO excited! Allow me to introduce you to the solution. It’s time to “Make The Switch” and change where you send your dollars each month. What if I told you instead of sending your money to Jeff Bezos and Costco and Walmart, you could shop at the LAST pro-America, freedom-loving, American designer, manufacturer and shipper of all the stuff you buy each month! Oh, and what if I told you the products are BETTER and often CHEAPER? Yes, for real. And what if I told you this is the best kept secret you’ve never heard of before, but that this company has been doing this for the last 37 years? And their founder was once placed on Barack Hussein Obama’s list of the Top 10 most “Dangerous Conservatives” in America? (a list I one day hope to make myself!) All of that is real and I’m so excited to tell you about it and I hope you’ll join the MISSION with me. Here’s a quick summary of this company that I’m so excited to now be partnered up with on this mission: Sound good to anyone else? Me too! The reason you’ve never heard of them is because it’s Invite Only. I can get you in, but you can’t just go sign up. They only want people on the same mission to join and they’re happy to say “no” to the Far-Left Libs! They’ve been doing it for 37 years and it’s been working great. Oh, and did I mention the products are non-toxic and don’t have all the chemicals and crap like Red Dye 40 that all the Big Corporations put in their products to weaken you? To wear you down? To make you — and your family — sick? Because then when you get sick you’ll buy their drugs! Sorry folks, I don’t play that game and neither does my family. We’re talking the LAST all natural, grass fed, no hormone, massive beef cattle ranch in the United States…. Sound good? We’re talking Fluoride Free Toothpaste, chemical free cleaners, Deet-free mosquito repellant! What novel concepts, right? Stop sending you money to these 11 corporations that do NOT have your best interest at heart: It’s an ILLUSION of choice. There’s only one pro-American, American made and manufactured, chemical free, toxin free, hormone free, company left….and I’m teaming up with them to FIGHT BACK! Who’s with me? Watch this: https://wltreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/maketheswitchraw.mp4 As I said, it’s Invite Only and the invite is completely free! In fact, I’ve assembled a team of patriots who will personally get you invited and signed up….if you want in. It’s called “Patriot Switch” and I think the name says it all. Folks, we don’t have many strongholds left. This is one. And I’m all in. If you’d like to find out more and get a FREE personal invite, just go here:  http://bit.ly/3E5K89d Tell them Noah sent you and I promise you will get a personal call, text or email. Don’t freak out when you do. And make sure you tell them you are interested in the Black Angus beef! I know I tend to get concerned when I get messages from numbers I don’t recognize, but if you request a Free Invite (Link here: http://bit.ly/3E5K89d) you WILL have someone from my Inner Circle reach out to you….so be ready! These are awesome people and I think you’ll love getting a chance to talk with them. And they’ll help get you all set up. Who’s with me? – Noah p.s. Since everyone gets personal attention, we will take these in the order in which they come in.  So if you are excited, ask for your invite now or you might be far down on the list.  I have a great team, but they can only do so much and they’ll work on a first-come, first-served basis. Request a free Invite here:  http://bit.ly/3E5K89d

Person In Piñata Costume Has Perfect Reaction When Smacked With Pool Noodle

As we all prepare for the Great Pumpkin’s appearance on Halloween, costume selection is in full swing. The range of choices is incredible, but it is slightly more difficult if you wear a “couples” costume. Nobody wants to be the back end of a horse, cow, or camel. One couple found a unique solution. He is wearing a piñata costume, and his other half is brandishing a weapon. @kawijake1 Pumpkin fest piñata costume! #pumpkin #pumpkinfest #pumkinfestival #pumpkinseason #costume #pinata #candy ♬ original sound – Kawijake At first glance, the male’s costume might be confusing. He is walking along normally in a shaggy, multi-colored, full-body costume. A female is following behind, brandishing a pool noodle. As you think, “What is that?” she whacks him with the pool noodle. You think this is weird, but to each their own. But then his arm swings up, releasing a handful of goodies as he shouts, “Piñata!” The lightbulb lights up, and you realize the genius before you. The female winds up and whacks the piñata again to produce another shower of goodies. This was definitely a favorite of bystanders. They urged whack after whack, and she obliged. The man in the piñata costume was good-natured and well-stocked as the candy flew. Image from TikTok. Every Halloween party is overrun with overdone doctor and nurse costumes. The pirates threaten mutiny. In the corner, there is always a juggling clown with a rainbow wig frightening kids. Someone is working a Karaoke machine, trying to coax people up to sing. We’ve all been to “that” party. Imagine how lively it would be with a live piñata tossing candy everywhere! This couple deserves kudos for originality and creativity. I hope he has a lot of candy stored somewhere. The party might get ugly if he runs out of goodies before the night’s end! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Man Makes Adorable Discovery Ahead Of Hurricane: “The Puppy Distribution Center Chose Me Today”

You’ve heard of the cat distribution system, but this man’s unexpected puppy rescue will have you believing in the canine version. While sitting in his truck, this driver spotted not one, not two, but five stray doggies wandering the road! He suspected that someone had abandoned them. Since there was a hurricane on the way, this guy knew that he needed to act fast and get these puppies to safety! “I have to get you out of this weather, so everyone’s coming home with me,” the man said in his footage of the puppy rescue. @ronosf I can’t believe someone would just abandon these little babies out here. #puppies #abandoned #puppydistributionsystem ♬ original sound – RONOSF Luckily, the pooches were incredibly friendly. As soon as the man called to them, they rushed over to give him kisses and receive head scratches! This driver had absolutely no trouble getting the sweet dogs to cooperate as he carried them to the bed of his pickup truck. Before he took off, though, he did a quick sweep of the area. He didn’t want to leave a single puppy behind during this rescue! Once the man was certain that there were no more strays wandering around, he drove off with the pooches in the back of his truck. Although they seemed a little restless, none of them tried to jump out. When the man finally pulled up to his home, all five were present and accounted for. It looks like this puppy rescue was successful! “I can’t believe someone would just abandon these little babies out here,” the man wrote in his social media caption. After his daring puppy rescue, this guy shared a few updates on their wellbeing. He and his girlfriend, Jessi Rae, took care of the pooches until they could find the perfect homes for them. Eventually, Jessi was able to share the incredible news that all of the dogs had been adopted! Watch the video here. @that.petty.b Thank you to everybody whos helped out! All puppies have been placed! Onto our next journey! @RONOSF ♬ original sound – Jessi Rae It sounds like the puppy distribution system absolutely picked the right couple!

Hundreds of veterans obtain honorable discharges following ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ review

BY THE OPTIMIST DAILY EDITORIAL TEAM The United States Department of Defense announced that over 800 veterans who were previously removed under the now-repealed “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy have had their discharge statuses upgraded to honorable, in a historic action that finally begins to address the harms caused by the discriminatory policy. The investigation comes more than a decade after the policy was revoked, signaling a watershed moment for LGBTQ+ veterans. “Brave LGBTQ+ Americans have long volunteered to serve the country that they love,” said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, emphasizing the long-overdue efforts to rectify the injustices experienced by these service personnel. A study focused on 851 instances, with 96.8 percent qualifying for “relief,” resulting in honorable discharges for the great majority of veterans involved. A long-awaited victory for LGBTQ+ veterans Between 1994 and 2011, the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy prevented openly gay and lesbian military personnel from serving, resulting in the dismissal of over 13,000 people simply for their sexual orientation. While the program was overturned in 2011, the consequences of these discharges persisted, with many veterans still receiving discharge classifications that denied them full military benefits. Defense Secretary Austin underscored the importance of correcting these errors, adding that 96 percent of those reviewed now have an honorable discharge, a critical shift that allows them to receive benefits that they were previously denied. “Under President Biden’s leadership, the Department of Defense has taken extraordinary steps to redress the harms done by ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ and other policies on these former Service members,” Austin said in a statement. The Pentagon’s proactive review brings justice Although veterans discharged under “don’t ask, don’t tell” could apply for an upgrade to honorable discharge once the policy was repealed, many were unaware of this possibility. The Pentagon’s yearlong proactive investigation was intended to ensure that these individuals were no longer left behind. According to Christa A. Specht, a legal policy director at the Defense Department, approximately 2,000 veterans had been separated with less-than-honorable characterizations, and this review tried to right those wrongs. This study has served as a stark reminder of the decades-long prejudice that LGBTQ+ military personnel have suffered. Between World War II and 2011, historians estimate that over 100,000 service personnel were forced to leave the military because of their actual or perceived sexuality. Upgrades to honorable discharges are an important step in addressing this troubling legacy. Honorable discharges pave the way to full military benefits For many veterans, this shift not only restores their dignity but also allows them to receive all of the military benefits they were previously refused. Honorable discharges are required for benefits such as healthcare, education support, and house loans from the Department of Veterans Affairs. With this upgrade, LGBTQ+ veterans can now fully enjoy the benefits they earned while serving. As Secretary Austin declared, “What this means is that of the nearly 13,500 individuals who were administratively separated under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, and served long enough to receive a merit-based characterization of service, 96 percent now have an honorable discharge.” LGBTQ+ organizations have largely hailed the Pentagon’s move, viewing it as a significant step toward justice for veterans wrongly dismissed under the policy. While this assessment provides some closure for individuals affected, it also emphasizes the importance of continuous advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights and recognition in the military.The post Hundreds of veterans obtain honorable discharges following ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ review first appeared on The Optimist Daily: Making Solutions the News.

It’s never too late: quitting smoking at any age can add years to your life, study finds

BY THE OPTIMIST DAILY EDITORIAL TEAM A revolutionary study from the University of Michigan School of Public Health found that stopping smoking will increase your life expectancy regardless of your age. Thuy Le, PhD, David Mendez, PhD, and Kenneth Warner, PhD, led the study, which calls into question the long-held idea that quitting exclusively benefits younger smokers. “We wanted to show that stopping smoking is beneficial at any age and provide an incentive for older people who smoke to quit,” explained Le. While smoking has been related to a variety of health issues, including cancer, heart disease, and stroke, the plea to quit has typically been aimed at young adults. This new study reminds us that seniors, too, can get considerable health benefits by quitting, even as late as age 75. How much life can you gain? The researchers generated life expectancy tables using data from many national sources, calculating how much longer people would live if they stopped smoking at various ages. Their findings were startling: as compared to those who had never smoked, those who quit smoking at ages 35, 45, 55, 65, or 75 gained an average of 8.0, 5.6, 3.4, 1.7, and 0.7 years of life, respectively. For older persons, the chances of gaining at least one more year of life after quitting were significant—23.4 percent for those stopping at 65 and 14.2 percent for those quitting at 75. Furthermore, almost 10 percent of persons who quit at 65 gained at least eight years of life, while 8 percent of those who quit at 75 gained at least four years. As Warner said, “The cessation benefit is not limited to young and middle-aged adults who smoke; this study demonstrates its applicability to seniors as well.” A wake-up call for older smokers The study provides strong evidence for urging elderly smokers to quit. While the benefits of stopping at a young age are well known, the latest data show that even in later life, the good impacts of quitting can be life-changing. These advances, albeit minor in absolute terms, account for a significant amount of a senior’s remaining life expectancy. The researchers hope that therapists will utilize this evidence to urge older smokers to quit. “The chance of extending life is substantial, and it’s never too late to benefit from quitting,” said Le.
