Planned Economic Collapse In Works To Enforce Medical Police State Within A Digital Hellscape

In the utmost shocking intel report “White House Pushes For Digital Dictatorship As Killcen's Hopes And Nightmares Collide With Reality” detailing government plans to use "smart" utilities, health care providers and medical institutions as well as a new health agency with warrantless surveillance powers to monitor all Americans in real time, to determine those who might commit a crime - or known as "pre-crime" (without crime even have being commit, only warned as mere plausibility) - collides with flashbacks from 2016 where the (((special interest))) puppet Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and promoter of the "Great Reset" agenda; (which hypocrites openly promote and denounce as conspiracy at the very same time); called for "mandatory microchips" to install a "global health pass"… a solid 3 years before the covid-19 bioweapon was released in Wuhan China to spread to, dismantle and subjugate the Western World.

https://humansarefree.com/2021/05/klaus-schwab-calls-on-implantable-microchip.html

"In a 2016 interview that’s now gaining national attention, Schwab, also the founder of the globalist Great Reset agenda, explained that within a decade humanity will be required to have implantable microchips to serve as a global health pass." … …

"Schwab went even further, describing the globalists’ transhumanist dream of a direct 'fusion' of consciousness to the digital world.

“And in the end, maybe, there will be a direct communication between our brains and the digital world,” he said."

And if that does not terrify you, perhaps reading a bit further of this report will, as an internal medicine physician, Dr. Carrie Madej, has recently warned nano-tech has been secretly imbedded in these vaccines that are being used to tag, track and control the populations of the world like cattle.

https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-05-11-carrie-madej-covid-vaccines-exotic-nanotech-tracking.html

What will terrify the public - once the investigations begin across the world - is a question several already vaccinated people are begging to ponder… why are magnets now sticking to their skin where they have received this covid vaccine? Two different vaccinated citizens have come out with footage showing their skin has indeed become magnetized!

VIDEO #2: http://www.voterig.com/magnet2.mp4

Recent evidence, and comments by experts, to which many have now been questioning "what the hell exactly is inside these covid-19 vaccines?" A mystery recently to be studied by an American citizen who took a free covid vial from the local CVS store for independent analysis… only to be arrested soon after by a SWAT Team!

https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/taking-the-vaccine/

And if you think that's getting crazy and sounds very nefarious as it is, that's not all folks! Reports are now coming out that these vaccines have NO INGREDIENT INSERTS as required by law! That's right, whatever is being put into these vaccines is being kept "hush hush" by these evil Big Pharma corporations as the government won't allow any audit or inspection!

https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/moderna-covid-19-vax-ingredients-insert-blank

And to which may be the conclusion to what one doctor is warning the world, that patients are learning and regretting having taken these covid vaccines.

https://rumble.com/vgknrr-doctor-explains-vaccine-regret.html

And as a warning for those who deny these current tribulations, perhaps you better notice not only has bio-warfare been waged upon us, but also economic warfare via the central banks.

End Times Scripture Comes To Life As Life Faces Abrupt Apocalypse

Expanding on the gobsmacking ground-rattling recent intel report “Planned Economic Collapse In Works To Enforce Medical Police State Within A Digital Hellscape” has opened tribulations forewarned in the King James Version (KJV) Holy Bible about End Times prophesy, which may very well now be taking place, and if so, may have reached an "event horizon" (a point of no return) in which there will be no escaping this collapse, a collapse God warned would happen if the people of the world abandon Him:

https://www.biblestudytools.com/kjv/acts/17.html

"(30) And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: (31) Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead."

And for those who have trouble understanding traditional scripture, it has been translated more clearly under the New International Version (NIV) Holy Bible: https://www.biblestudytools.com/acts/passage/?q=acts+17:30-31

And to another Biblical warning pretexting these End Times tribulations, look no further to Timothy II Chapter 3 verses 1-5:

"(1) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. (2) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, (3) Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, (4) Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God"

To which has also been translated more clearly under the NIV Holy Bible: https://www.biblestudytools.com/2-timothy/passage/?q=2-timothy+3:1-5

In other words, what we see happening in a very corrupted world today was long forewarned of before any of us were alive thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ and His devoted preachers and apostles. And make note, these two Biblical verses linked in Acts and Timothy II are far from the only End Times tribulations warnings to which there are many more to be found in the Holy Bible, such warning of conquest, war, famine and death. Not to mention civil unrest, mindlessness, plagues, earthquakes, volcanoes, mass floods, hellfire, etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Apocalypse

As the Western world is indeed staring into the eyes of an apocalypse, or times of tribulation, inflation is skyrocketing and nearly every asset and commodity will see significant increases in priced value.

https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/us-core-consumer-prices-explode-higher-fastest-pace-1981

Not only is America today seeing massive price inflation, to which is the result of endless governmental spending and mass debt insolvency continuing to devalue our currency, there are now gas shortages - partly due to a lack of needed transportation services - breaking out in Alabama, Arkansas, Wasington DC, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.

https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/gas-run-has-begun-fuel-stations-run-dry-amid-hacked-pipeline

And to which, over 1,800 gas stations so far have run out of gas completely, as consumers now realize their lives are about to be completely upended as they panic hoard food and essential assets.

https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/nearly-1800-gas-stations-across-southeast-run-out-fuel-amid-panic-hoarding

We have witnessed global Empire being constructed by corrupted governments and central banks (the first horseman of the apocalypse: CONQUEST); and endless wars abroad, and one currently raging between Israel and Palestine (the second horseman of the apocalypse: WAR); we are also seeing skyrocketing poverty, the beginning of hyperinflation and shortages (the third horseman of the apocalypse: FAMINE); and now the Covid-19 bio-weapon release along with gene-altering nano-tech vaccines (the fourth horseman of the apocalypse: DEATH)!

US Military Flag Officers Warn Of Coup Against America As Manufactured Collapse Continues

A stark new national security report full of intel provided by a plethora of sources, outlining a further divide and collapse of America as detailed in several previous reports such as “Demented Despots In Panic As Their Lies Collapse In The Eyes Of Truth While Public Defection Mounts”, “Corruption Leaks, Commodity Shortages And Cyberattacks Hit America As Hyperinflation Nears”, “Gasoline Shortages Have Begun As Economist Warns Of 'Mad Max' Future While Inflation Skyrockets”, “Planned Economic Collapse In Works To Enforce Medical Police State Within A Digital Hellscape” and “End Times Scripture Comes To Life As Life Faces Abrupt Apocalypse” - all to which have faced covert deletion by unknown entities trying to cover-up shocking national security information - has connected new links to trends indicating what is most feared by the corrupted is a report called “American Media Covers Up War In The Streets Of America As Great Reset Turns Into Great Reject” to which this intelligence continues as “Part 2” of that saga among more intel expanding upon the previous listed reports.

Within the last two days over 120 former flag officers and staff within US military brass issued a dire warning for America that currently the nation is seeing a war against those who desire governmental tyranny vs those who desire individual liberty and freedom and encouraged Americans to get more politically involved to save the nation.

https://archive.ph/t3dSv

Upon this shocking warning from former military brass insinuating a 'coup d 'état' has taken place via mass voter fraud, we see a new audit in the State of Arizona declaring they have found thousands of irregularities to which could have led to Biden winning Arizona:

https://archive.md/qixdp

Immediately to which resulted in corporate mainstream media demonizing these officials, calling it reckless further stirring conspiracy to further divide the country:

https://archive.ph/gEK2V

And to which, has led the US military to immediately start rejecting white conservative Americans from enlisting in the US Army and other forces while promoting Marxism:

https://archive.md/FJXo1

But then seeing the Pentagon and Department of Defense (DoD) to be abruptly shocked in horror when a former military audit has been re-circulated detailing that younger generations; (which are much more 'left-leaning' and many outright indoctrinated Marxists); have seen up to 71% of 'eligible youth' not able to even pass the most basic training courses and to which were too ignorant to even understand traditional military protocols! That is, FOLLOWING a steep decline in recruitment.

https://archive.md/Mv1IX

And for a "woke" corrupted government, the shock and awe continues, as millions of first-time gun owning Americans are hoarding ammo and guns, prepping for the next civil war and/or major crisis. A public to which mostly cherishes their Constitutional freedoms which are under direct daily assault.

https://archive.md/KVpil

And to which a new report has come out exposing, as FACT, hard working American taxpayers are leaving "blue" States in droves, while "red" States see ever rising tax revenue and employment, exposing for a fact Americans want lower taxes, less regulations and more freedom!

https://archive.md/2pLXB

Following all these events, we have witnessed direct sabotage being warned by a decades old Oil Pipeline Inspector who recently announced on "The Alex Jones Show" that the Colonial Pipeline does NOT need any online technologies to operate…. can become fully functional at any time… but that government has prohibited traditional security measures making this crisis 100% manufactured!

https://archive.md/rsQeU

And in doing so, is forcing many workers to remain in the unpopular cities, making travel or moving way too costly and upending American families financially, to which the goal is further subjugation.

Demented Despots In Panic As Their Lies Collapse In The Eyes Of Truth While Public Defection Mounts

A thought-provoking revelation consisting of opposition research intel finds more of the world now waking up to realities behind systemic corruption, deceitful propaganda and outright lies - not only related to the recent exposure behind American NGOs and governmental health organization funding and collusion with Chinese military scientists bio-engineering the Covid-19 virus to collapse and subjugate Western nations - but now is resulting in propaganda arms such as CNN ratings crashing, meanwhile those having the brass balls to tell hard truth seeing ever increasing viewership ratings.

This one-man army who has been the only person on television who has called out widespread negative side-effects, and deaths, from the new mRNA vaccines these demented despots are trying to force and bully Western populations into accepting:

https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/tucker-carlson-shatters-media-silence-why-are-thousands-of-people-dying-from-covid-vaccine/

And to their shock and horror, the mainstream propaganda arms like MSN are responding back by mocking and berating White rural conservatives for refusing to take their genetic-altering poison shots:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-white-rural-americans-who-are-still-refusing-the-covid-vaccine/ar-BB1gl8nl

The propaganda media establishment has assailed the American people with dire warnings claiming that Russia is the greatest threat they face, China is the greatest threat they face, President Trump is the greatest threat they face, January 6th insurrectionists is the greatest threat they face, White Supremacy is the greatest threat they face, Systemic Racism is the greatest threat they face and Global Warming is the greatest threat they face — but today sees these same despotic liars claiming the greatest threat they face is conservatives, those like Tucker Carlson, who tell the truth, and the few Real Republicans who are stepping up to protect the American freedoms we cherish…..

Not well known to these demented despots, is that everything they have said and done, is being documented and archived by stealth, for offline safe guarding to be gathered by future historians, as well civilians, for when future Sedition, Treason & War Crimes charges face them after an economic collapse, as predicted in the latest report “Gasoline Shortages Have Begun As Economist Warns Of 'Mad Max' Future While Inflation Skyrockets” ….

American Youth Face Long Forewarned "Future Shock" As The Nation Splits Apart In Horror

An intriguing warning issued from rural Missouri, blasted to paste.se at 15.6kbps contains a deleted copypasta from an image board, to which little reason would have resulted in this deletion other than a brazen attempt to censor tips to avoid a "vaccine passport" which is war being waged by a few despotic-run States against American citizens, and to which is also being rejected by many other States, now creating hostility between an already politically divided & highly disgruntled nation.

http://211be26da7813d13.paste.se/

As to which States have now officially declared this vaccine war against their citizens, most Democrat-run States such as Hawaii and New York, have now joined two more States, the States of Michigan and Washington, declaring endless lockdowns to mandatory vaccine terror against the American public.

Washington: https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/vaccine-passports-come-to-washington-state/

Michigan: https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-05-05-whitmer-threatens-michigan-get-vaccinated-lockdown-masks.html

With these four despotic States attempting to intimidate and threaten their citizens with legal penalty over refusing to take an experimental mRNA shot even the federal government admits does not make you immune to anything; which has been killing hundreds of thousands of people around the world, recently banned in Denmark over vaccinated blood clot disease; fortunately there is some hope left in America as 14 States have firmly rejected Bill Gates "ID 2020" vaccine passport scheme, 10 of them passing laws and EOs against covid vaccine mandates so far.

https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/digital-transformation/vaccine-passports-10-states-with-bans-limitations-green-lights.html

State-controlled TV media - which acts as modern propaganda arms for despotic (((special interests))) - has now openly come out raging against Americans who resist their tyranny, calling for innocent Americans to be scolded and harassed, demonized and punished, for simply wanting to be left alone!

https://newspunch.com/cnn-people-who-refuse-the-vaccine-should-be-abused-by-friends-family/

Intertwined with the war against America and our fight for basic freedom, taxpayers are leaving these despot-run States and moving to "red" (or sometimes called "stand your ground") States in droves, very much like migration from failed third world countries into first world nations.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/chrisdorsey/2021/03/17/americas-mass-migration-intensifies-as-leftugees-flee-blue-states-and-counties-for-red/

But to much alarm of those wanting to be left alone already living in these "red" States, many who are fleeing are taking these failed 'woke' ideologies with them, leaving Americans to ponder if another civil war will not break out inevitably, as the VERY REASON many citizens have chosen to live in "red" states for decades is to simply flee these radical subversive 'woke' ideologies (whether citizens call it crony capitalism, communism or fascism: the facts remain and are as brazen as sunrise).

https://allnewspipeline.com/Bottom_Ten_Business_Friendly_States_Are_All_Liberal_Cesspools.php

And most important to remember - which has been long forgotten - was a dire warning issued to America back in 1970, in a book titled "Future Shock" warning exactly what would happen when there would be "too much change in too short a period of time."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Shock

In this book, written predictions are now unfolding to this day in the long forewarned "information era" (long predicted before an internet even existed), predicted the exact same as a military intelligence source who has recently died and who's predictions for America have also been taken offline called Deagle.com which predicted 2/3rds population reduction by the year 2025 in America!

Further Evidence Behind Covid Bioweapon Leaks As US Diplomatic Relations Explode Into Crisis

In another saga of earth-shattering national security threats facing the heavily Divided States of America, an unknown foreign intelligence agency has leaked a highly secret investigative 263 page report concluding both American NGOs as well as Chinese military scientists colluded and discussed how to weaponize SARS coronaviruses back in 2015 "to cause medical systems to collapse" in undesired nation states … which further evidence exposes - as mentioned in the recent report “American Media Covers Up War In The Streets Of America As Great Reset Turns Into Great Reject” - the US State Department knowing full well since 2018 the Gates Foundation and the National Institute of Health (NIH) were funding covid bioweapons in a lab in Wuhan, China using US taxpayer money! An NIH which (((Dr. Anthony Fauci))) headed during those years, under the Obama presidency.

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/chinese-military-discussed-weaponizing-covid-2015-cause-enemys-medical-system-collapse

To back this evidence in the foreign intelligence report, a much undesired copypasta has been archived since the 2019 covid outbreak after investigative research blew this corruption wide open, resulting in hackers breaking into computers owned by the Wuhan bioweapons lab, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Health Organization (WHO), the latter organization (WHO) known covering up the connections with the American NGOs and Wuhan:

http://a11499f0db668687.paste.se/

Directly in response to this leak, saw Russia immediately deploying the dreaded Project 885M Yasen-M subclass submarines into service facing the American East Coast, and whose most feared weapon is the Poseidon 2M39 “doomsday” nuclear torpedo that has the power to trigger massive radioactive tsunamis off the US coast, a strategic target if nuclear war were to ever break out….

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/40503/russia-just-accepted-its-new-super-quiet-cruise-missile-packed-submarine-into-service

Then saw - shockingly so - Mexico breaking off diplomatic relations with the US government, with their President Obrador warning the United States government that Mexico will no longer be involved in a coup de tat against their national interests, or a coup against the Western World - in which saw Biden's Border Security Czar Kamala Harris in an outraged uproar walking out of the first diplomatic meeting with Mexico, fuming.

Near the same exact time, saw a massive Israeli IDF military exercise to simulate another world war, a war on 'multiple fronts' amid flaring tensions.

And to which at near the same time, shockingly saw a landslide election for nationalism that rocked UK governmental (((special interests))) which saw Nicola Sturgeon's Scottish National Party (SNP) for the first time sweep to near victory with an unprecedented 64 seats, that could lead to another independence referendum headache for these demonic mass murdering despots trying to enslave planet Earth.

Killcen & Johnny Neptune Issue 'Dance Of Death' To Already Failing Institutional Fraudsters

In an invigorating and debated manner, the counter-intelligence extraordinaire and psychological operations psychic widely known to online image boards as "Johnny Neptune" and disgruntled archiver, current event analyst and doomsday prepper known as "Killcen" (Operation Kill Censorship) have decided to uncover one mystery behind current failure of today's youth: particularly when it comes to millennials and the younger generation Z. Of-course to unravel and expose such corruption, one must look not only at current events, but events going back decades ago. One major issue affecting the youth negatively today is the subversive Marxism promoted in universities, a predatory debt racket known as the "student loan program" (which has been nationalized under President Obama where banks can issue such high risk student loans knowing they can't ever be paid back in full), and the endless debt insolvency which has gripped the nation since the 9-11 false flag terror attack to justify endless wars to expand the "Greater Israel Project" and a domestic draconian militarized police state in America.

Currently most forms of "higher education" today in America has little to do with actual education, rather they focus on subversive Marxist values such as "social justice", "gender neutrality", "systemic racism", "feminist art", "queer theology" and many other useless non-sense that brainwashes students and trashes common sense thinking.

https://thefederalist.com/2019/02/20/12-craziest-college-classes-america-subsidized-tax-dollars/

https://thefederalist.com/2019/03/06/insane-college-courses-radicalizing-generation-students/

Sadly, not only does the corrupted and subverted "educational" system subvert the minds of the youth, they also exploit a federal program created by Obama that sucks the wealth from the youth for decades after they graduate (via predatory loan sharking) to enrich their institutions. These students then end up with enormous debts, many not able to pay these enormous loans back off for decades.

https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/obama-created-student-loan-crisis-with-1-trillion-in-loans/

To add insult to injury, corrupted employers from various corporations now mandate longer participation in these corrupted 'educational' institutions in order to even be hired.

https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2014/09/09/report-employers-want-more-college-graduates-for-lower-level-jobs

https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/why-employers-must-stop-requiring-college-degrees-for-middle-skill-jobs

This form of radicalized exploitation and collusion with corrupted entities has led to a massive decline of students attending trade schools and vocational schooling, which were once the foundation for obtaining productive middle class jobs.

https://www.edweek.org/policy-politics/opinion-the-death-of-vocational-education-and-the-demise-of-the-american-middle-class/2012/01

But regardless how systemic all this corruption is, bad karma is slowly wrapping around the necks of these institutional fraudsters … and to no surprise … is inciting a growing rebellion against these student loan rackets and these Marxist indoctrination centers, to which universities are now going bankrupt and being forced to close their doors as more and more American families reject their services:

100% TRUE

A crack in the Interstate 40 bridge in Memphis, Tennessee, highlights some of the nation’s biggest supply chain vulnerabilities, but engineers are hopeful they may be able to at least reopen shipping on the Mississippi River in the next week to alleviate some of the strain.

The Hernando de Soto Bridge, a vital Midwest shipping route that connects Arkansas and Tennessee, has been shut down to thousands of vehicles and barges. Engineers are working on a fix for the 48-year-old bridge but are unsure how drastic the repair effort will be, said Paul Degges, chief engineer for the Tennessee Department of Transportation.

“I'm hopeful in the next day or so we'll be able to be in a position where we can talk to the Coast Guard and say, ‘Hey, we think the bridge is OK. It's got an adequate factor of safety,’ and we can open the river back up to barge traffic,” Degges said Thursday. “So that's, that's step one.”

But it’s too early to determine whether the repairs will take six weeks or six months, he said.

The cracked beam is composed of four blades of steel, and at least two appear to no longer be connected because of the damage. Engineers will have to run multiple mathematical models to assess exactly how damaged the bridge is before mapping out a repair plan, Degges said.

There’s also the added concern about finding the proper high-strength steel material and the time it will take to replace the beam. The steel at the time the bridge was originally completed in 1973 was proprietary to U.S. Steel, and steel is currently highly priced, which brings a scarcity issue to the repairs.

“For us to get the components manufactured, we've got to be able to find a steel facility that can make this particular type of product,” Degges said. “And so we think that there's plates available, but then it has to be cut and fabricated, holes punched in it, where we can bolt everything up.”

Similar repair issues have occurred with smaller bridges in other states, like Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Florida, which will help provide a road map for finding the proper resources.

But the crack in Memphis is just the latest disaster in recent supply chain issues that have highlighted the country’s infrastructure issues. The Mississippi River provides a vital downstream route for farmers who need to transport crops and a pathway from the Gulf for oil and gas companies.

There are currently 44 vessels with a total of 709 barges waiting to pass through the river, according to a tweet from the Coast Guard on Thursday.

Most Americans likely don’t realize how dependent consumers are on river barges and pipelines to transport goods, said Thomas Goldsby, chair of logistics and co-faculty director of the Global Supply Chain Institute at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

Every river barge taken out of the supply chain would add about 70 tractor-trailers to roadways, Goldsby estimated.

“Sure, we can move things by truck, but if you've been paying attention to what's been going on with trucking capacity, it's a very tight supply right now,” Goldsby said. “And here we're talking about, you know, tankers and flatbeds and … subclasses of transportation by truck that are even more constrained.”

Truck and car traffic in Memphis has been diverted to the nearby Interstate 55 bridge, which will help keep roadway shipping at normal levels, though increased congestion may cause delays. If shipping is delayed on the river too long or repairs lead to long-term disruptions, companies may have to consider alternative means for moving their products.

The Hernando de Soto Bridge received a “fair” rating after a September 2019 inspection, according to the National Bridge Inventory compiled by the U.S Department of Transportation. Top scorers are in “excellent” condition, and a “fair” rating is just above “poor.”

About one-third of all U.S. bridges require major repair work or replacement, with more than 46,000 rated in poor condition, an American Road and Transportation Builders Association analysis of 2019’s National Bridge Inventory found.

Railroads are a possible alternative, as companies have been investing millions of dollars in recent years to increase capacity, but it can become costly because railways are almost entirely privatized, Goldsby said.

"To the extent that we could divert freight from the roadways to the railways, it would be super efficient," Goldsby said. "We'd have fewer car, truck accidents and lower emissions, but it is slower and less reliable than moving by truck."

Companies can be hesitant to move toward a slower mode of transportation and are typically only incentivized to move to railroads when gas prices increase. But as bridges continue to age, the U.S. should work to modernize its transportation infrastructure, according to Goldsby.

“You know, transportation is not particularly sexy,” Goldsby said, “but my gosh we really depend on it every day.”
