Declared Dead

 Living Witnesses,


  When a group of people is declared to be sub-human, non-human, or now, no-longer-living, their property and other rights are removed. We see that Palestinians are going through a Holocaust, as the Jews did in Europe, and that concentration camps recently awaited "the unvaccinated" in numerous western countries a few years ago. Enough of us stood against that publicly, many losing our jobs and or licenses, to prevent a critical mass of society from fully accepting those plans in the rush of the moment, before fears subsided.
  Now they have come for the Illegal Aliens, purportedly just the worst ones, at first, through the novel mechanism of declaring them to have died in the Social Security database, which freezes their bank accounts, credit cards, and forces their employers to comply in the only way possible, by firing the officially-deceased person, upon whom they cannot pay the employer's taxes.
  With minimal reflection you can see that this mechanism, once normalized in administrative process, can easily be applied to anybody, certainly to me, and I probably offend almost anybody from time to time... 
  How about you? Are you beyond all reproach?
Right-tyranny is bound to be better than left-tyranny, anyway ... right?

  Social Security Overseer Refused to Help Weed Migrants Out of the System, Then Security Showed Up
Despite official action to essentially wipe migrants out of the Social Security system, a new report said one bureaucrat refused to go along.
  Greg Pearre, a manager who according to The Washington Post oversaw technology experts, was refusing to put names of migrants into what’s known as the “death master file,” which is usually used for Social Security recipients who have died.
  As a result, on Thursday, security guards arrived at Pearre’s office at Social Security Administration headquarters in Woodlawn, Maryland, and escorted him out.
  As with all Trump administration innovations, blocking access to migrants’ Social Security numbers has its critics.
  “This is an unprecedented step,” Devin O’Connor, a senior fellow at the progressive Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said in response.
“The administration seems to basically be saying they have the right to essentially declare people equivalent to dead who have not died. That’s a hard concept to believe, but it brings enormous risks and consequences,” he said.
But White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said removing illegal immigrants needs to be done.

  Hey, wasn't Tulsi Gabbard put on that list last year?  US Strips Benefits From Thousands Of Criminal Aliens, Those On Terror Watchlist                            As part of the enforcement action, the Social Security Administration reclassified those individuals’ Social Security numbers into its Ineligible Master File, a restricted database that prevents improper payment of federal benefits. Formerly known as the Death Master File, the system is used to ensure that only lawfully eligible individuals can access programs such as Social Security, Medicaid, and other federally administered aid.
  Immigration parole allows certain noncitizens to temporarily enter and remain in the United States, during which they may receive work authorization and Social Security numbers if granted parole for more than one year.
  White House assistant press secretary Liz Huston said the action fulfills President Donald Trump’s campaign pledge to enforce immigration laws more strictly.

  Israel is About to Empty Gaza, Chris Hedges
Israel is poised to carry out the largest campaign of ethnic cleansing since the end of World War IISince March 2, it has blocked all food and humanitarian aid into Gaza and cut off electricity, so that the last water desalination plant no longer functions. The Israeli military has seized half of the territory — Gaza is 25 miles long and four to five miles wide — and placed two-thirds of Gaza under displacement orders, rendered “no-go zones,” including the border town of Rafah, which is encircled by Israeli troops.
  On Friday Defence Minister Israel Katz announced that Israel will “intensify” the war against Hamas and use “all military and civilian pressure, including evacuation of the Gaza population south and implementing United States President [Donald] Trump’s voluntary migration plan for Gaza residents.”
  Since Israel’s unilateral ending of the ceasefire on March 18 — which was never honored by Israel — Israel has been carrying out relentless bombing and shelling against civilians, killing over 1,400 Palestinians and wounding over 3,600, according to the Palestinian health ministry. An average of one hundred children are being killed daily according to the United Nations. Israel is, at the same time, inciting tensions with Egypt to lay what I suspect will be the groundwork for a mass expulsion of Palestinians into the Egyptian Sinai.
  Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, echoing Katz, said Israel would not lift the total blockade until Hamas was “defeated” and the remaining 59 Israeli hostages were released.
  “Not even a grain of wheat will enter Gaza,” he vowed.

  THE THREE STEPS — WHICH WAY IS FORWARD, WHICH WAY IS BACKWARD IN RUSSIA’S WAR FIGHTING, PEACE NEGOTIATING STRATEGY,      John Helmer
  A well-informed source in Moscow says that Trump and his subordinates have been surprised by the Russian terms for ending the war. “The Russians have told Americans they will have Odessa and a land corridor to Moldova. They have offered ports on Dnieper River for access to the sea for the Ukrainians. There has been no demand about Nord Stream. Money is being discussed on the sidelines but not in the main talks. In the main room [in Riyadh on February 18] Lavrov and Ushakov brought no papers and asked Americans [Rubio and Waltz] to dust off the December 2021 treaty draft.     The Russian positions shocked the Americans. They were told the Ukraine will be demilitarized and its forces will be turned into paramilitary and police. The Americans were also surprised how little Russians cared about Zelensky or his British and Europeans backers. The Americans were told there will be no Ukrainian paramilitary force east of the Dnieper – only police. A new Russian demand was tabled for autonomy of  eight Ukrainian oblasts, with Kiev army forces removed. In general, the  Russians propose turning the Ukraine into a genuinely federal structure with provisions that Banderites can never take power in Kiev and that the central forces will be limited in their capabilities,  supplementing the police if and when Banderites take to the streets. The main purpose of any such force will be de-nazification and keeping it that way. There are demands also about the Orthodox Church in Ukraine.”   https://johnhelmer.net/the-three-steps-which-way-is-forward-which-way-is-backward-in-russias-war-fighting-peace-negotiating-strategy/#more-91375

  The visit on Friday of Donald Trump’s personal emissary Steve Witkoff to Petersburg for a meeting with President Putin was likely taken on short notice.

​  A Midwestern Doctor,  The Forgotten Cancer Cure Hiding in Plain Sight
How DMSO turns a common dye into a highly potent cancer treatment that's harmless to normal tissue
​  When DMSO is combined with hematoxylin (a dye widely used in pathology), it becomes a highly potent cancer treatment, both harnessing DMSO’s intrinsic anticancer properties and directly destroying cancer cells. It is also highly specific to targeting cancers while not affecting normal cells, thereby allowing it to dissolve cancers at doses that have virtually no toxicity to the patient.
​  Despite its ingredients being relatively easy to procure and producing remarkable results, this therapy (like many other alternative cancer treatments) was almost completely forgotten. Fortunately, a narrow thread of knowledge has kept this sixty-year-old discovery alive, most recently through a doctor who spent the last fifteen years refining this lost therapy and successfully treating cancer patients with it.
​  This article will discuss everything known about DMSO-hematoxylin, such as its mechanisms, which cancers it responds to (e.g., it’s very effective for leukemias along with their associated anemias and can often treat advanced cancers no other treatment works for), and with how to use it both at home and within a medical setting.​

​  FDA Fast Tracks Self-Amplifying mRNA Bird Flu Injection
BARDA- and Gates-funded experimental replicon shots move toward accelerated approval.
​  In November 2024, the FDA green-lit a Phase 1 trial for the Arcturus Therapeutics self-amplifying (replicon) H5N1 "pandemic" bird flu injection (ARCT-2304).
These experimental replicon shots are primary funded by BARDA with support from the Gates Foundation, who gave Arcturus Therapeutics a $928,563 grant in October 2024 to “improve understanding of durability of protection after administration of nucleic-acid based vaccines.”
​  Yesterday, Arcturus Therapeutics received U.S. FDA Fast Track Designation for the replicon injection ARCT-2304.
According to the FDA:
Fast track is a process designed to facilitate the development, and expedite the review of drugs to treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need.​

Confessions Of Empire

 Prudently Silent,


   US ‘just lost a war with Russia’ – Tucker Carlson
​  Russian officials perceive the Ukraine conflict as a NATO proxy war – a notion that some Western politicians, including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, have openly agreed with.
​  In an interview with Alex Jones published on Wednesday, Carlson accused those perpetuating the hostilities of ignoring that Russia has emerged victorious.
​  ”We just lost a war with Russia,” the former Fox News host declared. “The US was running that war – the US military, the Pentagon, State Department, CIA – running the war against Russia. It was not… was never about Ukraine.”​  Carlson expressed concern that “nobody will say that out loud – that we’re overstating our power.”​ ...   
 “That’s called hubris and that’s how empires get destroyed and populations vaporized,” Carlson warned. “Maybe we should readjust our expectations a little bit.”  ​  https://swentr.site/news/615514-carlson-us-loss-russia/

  Israeli Air Force commanders threatened Wednesday to expel approximately 970 personnel — including pilots, officers and soldiers — if they do not withdraw their signatures from a letter demanding an end to the war in the Gaza Strip, local media reported.
​  Israeli daily Haaretz reported that “about 970 aircrew members, some in active reserve service, signed the letter opposing the war but not calling for refusal to serve.”
​  In recent days, senior Air Force leaders made personal phone calls to reservists who endorsed the message, urging them to retract their support, the outlet said. Commanders informed the reservists they face dismissal if they refuse to comply, according to Haaretz.
​  Following the threat, only 25 signatories withdrew their names, while eight others requested to add their signatures.

​  So I predict, just for fun and entertainment of course, that when the VAERS books become transparent, and some brilliant data scientists analyze it, many more connections between [age of] injection [and racial disparity links] and adverse event onset (including autism) are going to be discovered. The thing that boils my blood on hiding data in general, and the VAERS in particular, is that this data is meant to serve as a safety signal warning system FOR THE PUBLIC. It is public data - every single VAERS entry represents a person’s documented experience with an adverse event in the context of a biological (vaccine). And contrary to Peter Marks’ concerns, there is no incentive in a boring old data analyst to make things up or to hide things. If patterns emerge, then patterns emerge. We don’t make up stories, and are not incentivized by profit. Most of us are just nerds who love truth. Emergent patterns from data are like beautiful truth.​   https://jessicar.substack.com/p/a-speculative-prediction-as-to-why

The Correct Angle

 Dialed In,


  Larry Johnson,  Trigonometry, Not Triggernometry, Who Fired the Head Shot that Killed Kennedy?  
  Let me give you my summary up front, and then I will present my reasoning based on photographic evidence. The headshot that killed Kennedy came from the left side of Dealey Plaza, descending at an angle of roughly 20 degrees. It entered towards the top of the back of Kennedy’s head and exited from the right temple. I am not claiming to have precise measurements, but the angle of the bullet that blew open the front of President Kennedy’s head could not have been fired by Oswald, who was at an 80-degree angle behind JFK. If Oswald had fired the headshot, the bullet would have exited above Kennedy’s left eye.
  Here is a view of Dealey Plaza with the angles. The yellow dot and line in the upper left corner of the photo is the Texas School Book Depository building. The yellow dot and line on the right corner of the photo is the Texas jail. I will not take time here to explain the proven links between the Dallas police and the Mafia, but that provides one explanation of how a shooter could have had access to the jail.   


  Dallas Mayor During JFK Assassination Was CIA Asset
  At the time of the assassination, Dallas Mayor Earle Cabell, brother of one-time Deputy Director of Central Intelligence Charles P. Cabell, had been a CIA asset since 1956.
  It is worth noting that Kennedy dismissed CIA Director Allen Dulles in November 1961, and that Earle Cabell’s brother Charles left the CIA on January 31, 1962, after Kennedy forced him to resign. Thus, both Dulles and Charles Cabell were no longer working for the CIA on November 22, 1963, when Kennedy was killed.
  Earle Cabell, who had been elected mayor of Dallas in May 1961, oversaw arrangements for Kennedy’s trip and motorcade, which took him through Dealey Plaza, a route that violated almost all standard rules for presidential safety — and where normal safeguards, such as sealing windows and placing sharpshooters, were ignored.

​  Caitlin Johnstone,  Israel's Innocent Oopsie-Poopsie Medical Massacre Mistake
​  The Israeli military has changed its story about why its forces killed 15 medical workers and then buried them and their vehicles to hide the evidence. After their initial claim that the medical vehicles were approaching “suspiciously” without their emergency lights on was disproven by video evidence, they are now calling the whole thing a big mistake.
​  Sure, who among us has not accidentally massacred 15 medical workers and buried them and their vehicles in a shallow grave from time to time? We’re only human, mistakes happen.
​  Asked by the press about Israel’s latest war crime scandal, White House National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes blamed the whole thing on Hamas
, saying, “Hamas uses ambulances and more broadly human shields for terrorism. President Trump understands the impossible situation this tactic creates for Israel and holds Hamas entirely responsible.”
​  Netanyahu could live stream himself eating a Palestinian baby and telling the camera “I am eating this baby because I love genocide,” and the next day Trump’s podium people would be responding to questions from the press by shrieking “HAMAS!” with their fingers in their ears.​

​  Gilbert Doctorow,  Transcript of interview with RT International
​  Well, let’s concentrate on China, because they are not in another war as Russia is. Russia’s attention is focused for good reason on its dealings with Ukraine, where they’re very close to victory and they’re not going to pull back, be distracted, and lose the concentration that they’ve enjoyed up till now. But China’s a different case. China has already demonstrated a week ago by its exercises off the coast of Taiwan that it is prepared to introduce a complete blockade of Taiwan. They don’t have to fire missiles. They can strangle Taiwan by imposing a no-fly zone over Taiwan and by interdiction of any naval vessels that are headed towards Taiwan.
​  And very quickly, that would bring Taiwan to its knees. And so, if the– this is also a threat, a deterrent, this message that was made by the Chinese a week ago in these naval exercises. But unlike Russia, I think the Chinese are ready, if not just to take measures to forestall an American attack on Iran, but to take measures after such an attack takes place. As I say, they can bring Taiwan to its knees and end the question that has, the United States has made foremost in its relations with China: what happens to Taiwan?​... 
​..If I understand properly, about 75 percent of Iran’s oil exports are going to one country, ChinaAs regards China, it is importing 30 percent of its oil needs from Iran. So the cooperation there in hydrocarbons is very, very tight.
​  If the United States were to attack, Tehran has made it clear that they will close the Straits of Hormuz, and that will cut off the supply of Arab Gulf oil to the world. There will be an enormous crisis. There will be a devastating impact on the global economy. And that is a price to pay that I think Mr. Trump cannot consider now, when he’s already in the middle of dealing with the consequences of his tsunami of tariffs.​

​  M. K. BHADRAKUMAR​,  Russia and the US made “three steps forward” after two days of consultations in Washington
​  The visit by the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund and special representative of the Russian president for investment and economic cooperation Kirill Dmitriev to Washington on April 2-3, the first such visit by a senior Kremlin official since 2022, appears to have been a modest achievement whose productive outcome will be crucial in the rest of US-Russia relations.
​  If President Vladimir Putin’s choice fell on Dmitriev for such a hugely important pathbreaking mission, that has been for sound reasons. An enduring settlement in Ukraine hinges on the stabilisation of the Russian-American ties which is deeply flawed due to the meagre content of it in substance.​

  ​Gilbert Doctorow,   “We underestimated Trump!” Vyacheslav Nikonov on ‘The Great Game,’ 7 April​  
“We underestimated Trump! We had wanted Biden to win because it would have meant the self-destruction of the USA. But now we are watching the tsunami that Trump has created… This is a revolution…”
​  Indeed, Russian elites have been watching developments in the United States very closely ever since ‘Independence Day’ last week ...
..They are concerned that the popular wave of protest that swept the United States this past weekend, with a vast outpouring of citizens bearing signs denouncing Trump in more than 1400 cities and towns across the land, egged on by the Democrats, who were revived from their stupor by the collapse of stock markets in the closing days of last week, may seriously weaken Trump and render him unable to continue his rapprochement with Russia, a policy that also does not enjoy popular support according to latest poll figures.
​  As for the tariffs themselves, last week’s Evening with Vladimir Solovyov talk show revealed far more acceptance of their necessity and correctness than you hear or read in American mainstream media. I heard a very cogent defense of the tariffs based not on their value in bringing industrial production back to the United States but in their stopping further rises in the federal debt which was reaching unsustainable levels. Indeed, the panelist who advanced this explanation said that Trump intentionally diverted attention to reindustrialization to avoid creating panic by divulging the dangerously weak state of American finances.
  In these past few days, analysts in the U.S. have deciphered the formula that Trump pointed to as the determinant of the de facto level of tariffs practiced by America’s trading partners. As they make clear, the percentages in his table are in effect just the ratio of trade deficit to bilateral trade. The intent of the tariffs is to cut off imports as much as possible and so to reduce the trade deficit to zero over time. Moreover, if the trade wars lead to recession that is also all to the good, since imports of all kinds will fall precipitously and domestic energy costs in the United States will fall, as they have already begun to do these past several days. These deflationary trends will offset the supposed inflationary tends coming directly from the tariffs.   https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/04/07/we-underestimated-trump-vyacheslav-nikonov-on-the-great-game-7-april/
