You can listen to me read this update here:

Welcome to 2023, a year that promises to be even crazier than the last two. Will the war in Ukraine end or will we find ourselves embroiled in a world war? Will the crash of cryptocurrency usher in the era of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)? How many more mRNA vaccines can our bodies handle before our immune systems are completely destroyed? How much more surveillance can we handle before we say enough is enough?

Get Alexa out of your house!

Amazon admits that Alexa IS listening to your conversations--all of them

Not only that, but fellow Echo users can potentially eavesdrop on each other’s conversations.

Why do people allow this? Have we become so used to surveillance that we don’t think twice about giving up the sanctuaries of our own homes to prying ears?

Apparently so!

How long will it be before people don’t care even if eyes are watching them—in the bathroom?

The contracts customers sign doesn’t mention anything about humans listening in. All it says is that Alexa will ‘answer your questions, fulfil your requests, and improve your experience and our services'. But who reads those lengthy terms and conditions anyway? We have been conditioned to sign away our rights over and over again and think nothing of it.

It is also believed “Apple and Google use a similar protocol with human reviewers eavesdropping on content from Siri and Assistant.” 

Believed? You mean no one actually knows?

We are told that there are ways to turn the listening off, but this is far from reassuring when the instructions are prefaced by phrases such as “believed” and “some experts have suggested.”

Reuters’ special report, Amazon wages secret war on Americans' privacy, reveals that Amazon has “killed or undermined privacy protections in more than three dozen bills across 25 states, as the e-commerce giant amassed a lucrative trove of personal data on millions of American consumers.”

A 2018 document revealed one of Amazon’s key objectives:

“Change or block US and EU regulation/legislation that would impede growth for Alexa-powered devices,” referring to Amazon’s popular voice-assistant technology. The mission included defeating restrictions on artificial intelligence and biometric technologies, along with blocking efforts to make companies disclose the data they keep on consumers."

Unacceptable!

And yet, Alexa invades millions of homes and Siri does the same in millions of cars. Our phones listen to us and record our every move. Alexa has certain “wake” words, such as its name (no, it is not a “she”—pronouns, people!) How do we know there aren’t other triggering words that identify users as “domestic terrorists” or spreaders of “disinformation” or “climate deniers” or “conspiracy theorists”?

As far as disinformation goes, New Jersey is poised to become the first state to mandate K-12 students learn information literacy.

Gov. Phil Murphy: “Our democracy remains under sustained attack through the proliferation of disinformation that is eroding the role of truth in our political and civic discourse. It is our responsibility to ensure our nation’s future leaders are equipped with the tools necessary to identify fact from fiction."

The bill received bipartisan support. Republican Sen. Mike Testa explains that "This law isn't about teaching kids that any specific idea is true or false. Rather, it's about helping them learn how to research, evaluate, and understand the information they are presented for themselves."

But when your children are likely getting their information from Google, the internet’s biggest censor and master manipulator, the idea that they are able to compare differing points of view becomes a farce. How will children make up their own minds about Covid vaccines, for example, when only state sanctioned views are available and anything else is labeled as disinformation?

In the old days, we went to libraries where librarians had no power over what information you could and could not access. Now all the librarians of the world have been replaced by Google—a company that likes to think of itself as omniscient and that bans news sources as it pleases.

Do you rely on Gmail, Google Docs, Google+, Youtube, Google Wallet to function in your daily life? Google has consolidated all of these products so you can access through your one Google account.

How convenient!

Except if you make Google mad.

If you somehow violate Google's vague and intimidating terms of service agreement, you will join the ever-growing list of people who are shut out of their accounts, which means you'll lose access to all of these interconnected products. Because virtually no one has ever read this lengthy, legalistic agreement, however, people are shocked when they're shut out, in part because Google reserves the right to "stop providing Services to you … at any time." And because Google, one of the largest and richest companies in the world, has no customer service department, getting reinstated can be difficult.

I’ve reminded people a few times to buy an old dictionary to combat the redefining of words such as “vaccine” and the possibility that words such as “natural immunity” might one day disappear altogether.

Now I would add, buy old an Encyclopedia Britannica set, too, or something similar. That is not to say that all the information will be true and unbiased. But it will be better than Wikipedia, which is part of the “Google-Youtube-Wiki axis.”

It’s all becoming very tidy. Everything under one umbrella and in one place. Covid was the event that brought it all together. Lockdowns were good for the planet! How about everyone just stays in their little box from now on?

“15-minute cities” is the new slogan.

Just wait until they transform your neighborhood into one. No more spontaneously driving off in your car for the countryside on a Sunday afternoon. No more hopping on a plane for “destinations unknown.” Such irresponsible behavior would create far too big of a carbon footprint. The fine would be astronomical.

Besides, why go anywhere when everything you need is within walking distance? With your universal basic income, all will be provided for. As long as you behave.

I walk, bike or run as much as possible. I prefer living in villages to cities. But the key here is, I prefer. Nobody is forcing me to do it. But they will be now. What happens if I want to visit a store outside of my area, or go to a cafe that serves a special kind of pastry that I love, or how about if I want to listen to a jazz concert on the other side of town? Forget it.

Think about the death of creativity and how the random exchange of ideas will no longer happen. Only if you are very high up the ladder will you be allowed to meet people outside your small circle. Your energy, your vitality, your inspiration will be stifled.

Of course, creativity and the exchange of ideas are dangerous. Leave that to the elites who will lead ever more extravagant lives, jetting around the planet and rocketing to outer space while you are penalized for heating your home in the winter.

They will continue to rape the earth and blame it on you.

Thanks to the pandemic, downtown cities are becoming wastelands.

Before the pandemic, 95% of offices were occupied. Today that number is closer to 47%. In New York, for instance, the value of commercial real estate declined by 45% in 2020, and research suggests it will remain 39% below pre-pandemic levels.

What will happen to all those abandoned buildings? They will be converted into little boxes for you to live in, inside massively tall, anonymous buildings, just like they have in China. Each building will have one entrance, easily monitored, easily locked down if need be.

I was living in a condo in Century City, Los Angeles, during the big earthquake of 1994. I was pregnant at the time and the elevators stopped working, as did the garage doors for a time. We became prisoners inside the building. Never had I felt so trapped and vulnerable. I was forced to walk up and down many flights of stairs when I was in danger of developing hypertension. The upscale market down the street was overrun by residents who only a few days before had been snootily cultured but had morphed into frenzied monsters, pushing each other out of the way in their attempts to empty the shelves of everything in sight. I was living in Egypt when the pandemic struck and no one acted like that, but the videos I saw online of people fighting over toilet paper in the US reminded me of those former days during the earthquake.

My 12-year-old daughter happened to have spent the night at friends in Northridge, the epicenter of the earthquake. I endured a tortuous day and night not being able to reach her or the family she was staying with. News stations warned us not to travel, it was too dangerous. But as soon as the garage door started working again, I insisted that we go and find my daughter.

We traveled on empty freeways through what looked like a war zone, fires erupting across the city. Thankfully, we found my daughter safe, all the neighbors out in the street, having a block party. I swooped her up in a big hug, and we drove north, staying for a night in a hotel up the coast. The thought of returning to the city terrified me. It went against every instinct that I had to keep my family safe. Driving back into that hell, I resolved that I would never again live surrounded by a sea of people, where if a disaster occurred, I wouldn’t be able to escape.

We have only ourselves to blame if we wipe out the human race with our insane experiments.

The pig heart transplanted into an American patient earlier this year in a landmark operation carried a porcine virus that may have derailed the experiment and contributed to his death two months later.

It’s called xenotransplantation, the process of moving tissues between species.

In previous transplants from pigs to baboons, researchers found “‘astonishingly high’ virus levels in pig hearts removed from baboons. They think the virus could go haywire not just because the baboons’ immune systems were suppressed with drugs, but also because the pig immune system was no longer there to keep the virus in check. It seems very likely the same may happen in humans.

Do we really think we can conduct experiments like this, upset the balance of nature, and not suffer consequences? Natural barriers exist between species for a reason. Surely the last thing we want is for viruses to adapt within an immunosuppressed patient’s body and then spread to other humans. This isn’t the stuff of horror movies. It’s our everyday lives.

Over 670 million doses of the Covid vaccines have been delivered to people in the US and we are told this is something to celebrate.

I talked about this in my recent essay mRNA Madness--it's only just begun. How, despite all the concerns about mRNA vaccines being raised in alternative media, such as Sudden Death now being the #1 cause of death for people under 65, nothing is stopping this vaccine mania.

It’s all about money, billions upon billions of dollars. mRNA vaccines are a cheap, quick way to make those billions—at the expense of ordinary citizens immune systems.

Moderna's Billion-Dollar mRNA Story Is Just Getting Started

The coronavirus vaccine was Moderna’s first product to be authorized by the FDA. It brought Moderna “more than one billion dollars in sales and profit in its very first full quarter of commercialization.”

Now that Moderna and other giants like Pfizer, have had a taste of success, they aren’t about to stop.

MIT informs us that “Moderna is developing mRNA vaccines for RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), HIV, Zika, Epstein-Barr virus, and more. BioNTech, which partnered with Pfizer on the other approved mRNA-based covid-19 vaccine, is exploring vaccines for tuberculosis, malaria, HIV, shingles, and flu.”

And Moderna is partnering with historically corrupt Merck to develop cancer vaccines. Theoretically, with these vaccines, mRNA prompts the creation of proteins most likely to trigger the immune system to attack a specific type of cancer.

A Wired article assures us that “If we can include the code for several proteins, there’s the possibility to protect against multiple diseases in one shot. Moderna’s vaccine for covid, flu, and RSV is already in clinical trials, for example. In the future, we could go even further—just one or two shots could, in theory, protect you from 20 different viruses.”

How long before our bodies have forgotten how to produce their own immune responses without outside forces instructing them to do so?

If this thought enters my mind—and I am not a scientist—surely it must enter the minds of those who are working at these companies, with all of their knowledge and experience. And yet, no one seems to care about this question. They just keep filling their greedy pockets.

There's plenty of research showing that repeated jabs trigger a switch in the types of antibodies your body produces and lower your ability to clear viruses.

You can find an excellent article about this by Unacceptable Jessica on Substack here.

I read an interesting article titled A Mass Extinction Is Taking Place in the Human Gut

Just as we are destroying the biosphere of our planet, we are destroying the ‘biosphere’ inside of our bodies.

Trillions of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes live in the digestive tract. Many of them are beneficial to human health—influencing our metabolism and immune system, for example. But their diversity is under threat from industrialization, urbanization, and environmental changes.”

To preserve humankind’s diverse bacteria, scientists are harvesting, freezing, and storing poop from around the world.

When analyzed, there are signs of antibiotic resistance, even in samples taken from children who had never been exposed to modern antibiotics.

Why? Because we overuse and abuse antibiotics and medicines—everything.

Researchers are finding that the stool samples of people who live in pastoral settings are much healthier than those who live in cities. Really? How much money did they spend to find out this very obvious fact? Does this mean that they will stop their plans to confine us in their “15-minute cities”? Will they pause their production of synthetic and genetically altered foods? Will they stop injecting us with experimental gene therapies?

Of course not.

Instead, they will collect samples of poop and store them in vaults in the Microbiotic Vault Project

The goal is to forever secure the basis of the naturally evolved diversity of the microbiota important to humankind to support health globally.

Seriously? Forget fixing the problem by helping people live healthier lives, they will store tens of thousands of stool samples from all over the world so that the different species of bacteria are not completely lost. That way, when science has completely destroyed our healthy guts, the bacteria can be revived and cultured to treat diseases in the distant future.

I swear, you can’t make this stupidity up. There’s so much of it out there, I could keep writing about it for a very long time. But it’s late and I’m tired. I can hardly wait to see what this year has in store for us. I know I will never run out of subject matter.
