The legacy of that incident was that within 24-hours of his arrest, the Florida governor made churches an \u201cessential service\u201d (which, whether or not we are religious, <em>is<\/em> correct) and Floridians have enjoyed the freest conditions in the US.\u00a0 Such is their freedom, that politicians from the most repressive States who declined to offer their own citizens the same freedom (such as New York) were frequently caught (maskless), enjoying the Florida hospitality.\u00a0 Even more significantly, many businesses of those same locked down States have been heading to Florida to relocate their operations.\u00a0 The other States who followed Florida\u2019s examples, are also seeing waves of emigration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>The socio-economic consequences of the management of the pandemic, with the mass closures of small and medium businesses (as well as some larger ones) and the concentration of economic power in government (in the sense we have been forced to become dependent on the government) and \u201clawless\u201d transnational corporations, has been one of my chief criticisms of it and one of the reasons I concluded this was an orchestrated worldwide event by the moneyed and eugenically inspired elite who have been openly advocating for radical population reduction for most of the last one hundred and twenty years. Similarly, the early demonisation of \u201ccash\u201d as a viral spreading medium, has meant a large number of businesses now no longer process cash at all.\u00a0 You pay electronically, or you do not pay at all.\u00a0 \u201cCashless\u201d has long been an aim of the WEF (World Economic Forum) driven new economics since its early pilot experiments in New Zealand in the late 1980s, for it allows social engineering on a dramatic scale.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Watching 30 minutes of Klaus Schwab or hearing Canadian bankers talk about \u201cthe merging of your digital and personal identity\u201d is enough for you to realise that the \u201copportunity of the pandemic to advance what we were planning\u201d (a neat snippet from an early broadcast by Justin Trudeau), is one of the drivers towards keeping the WHO in charge of the international health scene. If you can maintain an independence from the \u201cdigital\u201d world, you can maintain a level of autonomy and independence from government interference (benevolent or otherwise).\u00a0 Rather like the \u201cscraps\u201d of Demolition Man (the 1993 film starring Wesley Snipes and Sylvester Stallone), you are a \u201cconstant irritation to the harmony of their existence\u201d, you are those who choose to live outside of the utopia that are most wise benefactors have prepared for us, and to which we should give unending loyalty and bestow gracious thanks for their bountiful beneficence.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>What was also disturbing, in my nation (the UK) at least, and from what I could see in all sorts of other Western nations, that even as the risk from COVID was <em>receding<\/em>, vaccine mandates were becoming <em>more<\/em> severe.\u00a0 It seemed in our own nation we were <em>days<\/em> from \u201cvaccination teams\u201d going door-to-door to unvaccinated households \u201coffering\u201d vaccination.\u00a0 Refusal to comply was going to mean the inability to access any kind of social establishment and being restricted to shopping at specific locations at specific times that you might not be a \u201crisk\u201d to the wider community.\u00a0 It would be hard to believe that the freedoms which my great grandparents fought for, were being casually dismissed in the name of a public health crisis, never to be returned.\u00a0 Only the utterly courageous stand of the Canadian truckers seemed to press the panic button amongst the globalists and suddenly \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/planetmacneil.org\/blog\/why-its-time-to-think-differently-about-covid-the-bbc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we all have to learn to live with COVID<\/a>\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>There also appeared <a href=\"https:\/\/planetmacneil.org\/blog\/ukraine-what-we-do-not-hear-about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a convenient \u201cwar\u201d<\/a> which distracts the world and rehabilitates some of the same failed Western politicians who could somehow applaud Zelensky for his stand against \u201ctotalitarianism\u201d when two weeks before they were beating up their own citizens for refusing to comply with government mandates.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li>Even as we speak (April 2022), the Chinese mega-city of Shanghai was locked down <em>again<\/em>, it was being policed by drones using facial recognition software which, if it identified people had transgressed the lockdown, debited fines <em>directly<\/em> from their bank account.\u00a0 (Can you imagine the problems being caused by false positives?)\u00a0 Reports from within Shanghai leaked out were showing people screaming from their high-rises for food but then being fined for being on their balconies in an &#8220;unauthorised&#8221; fashion.\u00a0 This, of course, is all done in the name of the \u201ccommon good\u201d and \u201csocial cohesion\u201d. \u00a0\u00a0As I understand it, restrictions had to be lifted to a degree because people got so hungry, they began descending on distribution centres and pillaging the food.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Someone made the comment that the Chinese were doing what the social planners of the WEF wanted to introduce worldwide to create a more equal, fairer, more ordered, and calmer world.\u00a0 Klaus Schwab himself indicated that short-term instability and disruption in the years to come was a price well worth paying during this \u201crevolution\u201d into a new world order.\u00a0 We were of course, seeing the second coming of the communist revolution with a more benign physiognomy, but equally as brutal psychology.\u00a0 The degree to which even neighbours were prepared to film each other on their iPhones and then report them via anonymous government and police websites demonstrate how far down the totalitarian path we had already walked.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/345904565_The_Great_COVID_Caper_-_Hoax_or_Greatest_Public_Health_Emergency_in_Peacetime_A_Dissertation_on_the_COVID-19_Novel_Coronavirus_its_Global_Management_and_How_To_Survive_the_Next_Pandemic\">large amount of research<\/a> surrounding the COVID pandemic and its management, I had not fully appreciated the degree of sophistication and the depravity of those who orchestrated it which our presenter does an excellent job of firming up in my understanding of the details.\u00a0 I <em>had<\/em> come to appreciate the utter obsession during the last 100 years of the very richest of the world with \u201cpopulation control\u201d.\u00a0 In many ways, the eugenicist agenda, has been through various incarnations during the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century, the \u201cenvironmentalist, green revolution and Family Planning\u201d good, the \u201ccolonial forced sterilisation of undesirables\u201d bad and the Nazi ugly.<\/p>\n<p>What the \u201cEmergency broadcast\u201d showed was the <em>technocratic<\/em> face of the new world order science and its complete lack of any moral context.\u00a0 We <em>had<\/em> already seen the prostitution of science and scientists on a global scale to peddle a narrative<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a> but what RHB\u2019s broadcast captured was the utter sophistication, ingenuity and ruthlessness that characterised the application of science to prototype a solution to the world population \u201ccrisis\u201d.\u00a0 If you have ever studied the engineering sophistication of the delivery system for Zyklon B at Auschwitz, you realise why films such as Underseige-2 have classic lines such as \u201c<em>how can individuals like this have senior positions in one of our top intelligence agencies?<\/em>\u201d be answered with \u201c<em>sane men do not build weapons like this<\/em>\u201d. \u00a0Likewise, when I studied \u201cmadness\u201d and \u201cinsanity\u201d in my psychology of religion undergraduate course, the triumphant conclusion of my instructor was simply \u201c<em>madness is socially constructed and defined<\/em>\u201d, from which we can get the pragmatic maxim that even the most perverse and morally bankrupt motivations can be transformed into merciful angels of light with some creative moral calculus that would cause Bentham<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a> to be dancing in his grave.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, in this age of tough choices requiring tougher visionary choices, the threat of over-population requires direct action <em>now<\/em>.\u00a0 This is where we get a glimpse of what the broadcast protagonist presents to us.\u00a0 Apparently, he is a retired medical practitioner (with the title \u2018Dr\u2019) who was alarmed in May 2020 with a memo from Anthony Fauci that set the direction of the research into what drug therapies could be used to treat early stage COVID.\u00a0 The direction of the research was such that it has mandated only a <em>single<\/em> drug was to be used to treat early stage COVID from babies just weighing a few pounds.\u00a0 All other drugs, including generic anti-virals such as HCQ and Ivermectin, and mono-clonal antibody therapies, were prohibited despite consistent and wide-ranging evidence of their efficacy and the known, deleterious effects of the mandated drug.\u00a0 The latter is not a minor point, for there are major studies highlighted that provided empirical evidence of multiple adverse effects of the mandated drug on major organs which has since been borne out with the <em>actual<\/em> data.\u00a0 Dangers of the booster shots are even finding their way inadvertently onto Sports talk shows where the commentators are highlighting the number of athletes who have suffered adverse reactions.<\/p>\n<p>This individual had become known as the R\u2026. man (after the drug) and has dedicated himself to trying to educate people about the dangers of the drug for routine treatment.\u00a0 However, it describes a moment of revelation for him when a practicing physician sent him a text with the question, \u201c<em>if you were bitten by a snake, would you get anti-toxins?<\/em>\u201d.\u00a0 This puzzled the R\u2026. man, but the story unfolds as to how both early research into COVID-deaths, an \u201cassassinated\u201d early researcher (at a major University whose boss still has not published the results) and now comprehensive analysis of a cohort of New York City COVID deaths have led to the conclusions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>COVID is in fact a humanised version of snake venom of the King Cobra and Krait snakes.<\/li>\n<li>By \u201chumanised\u201d it means scientific research has painfully and meticulously reconstructed the very protein and poly-peptide structures within the venom \u2013 numerous, peer-reviewed published research studies are cited illustrating how shortly before the pandemic patents were filed by a research company for these synthesised compounds.<\/li>\n<li>mRNA technology has been progressively refined to stabilise and deliver these compounds in a protective carrier which are added as ingredients to the \u201cvaccines\u201d which allows targeted euthanasia.<\/li>\n<li>One characteristic of these stabilising compounds is that they are magnetic \u2013 this helps explain the previously unexplained behaviour (other than by creative conspiracy theories) of people becoming magnetic around their injection sites<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>COVID has been delivered to targeted population groups via the water supply \u2013 cities were informed, apparently through testing wastewater, of imminent outbreaks.<\/li>\n<li>The same companies that manufacture the vaccine also own the patents on the synthetic compounds and self-declared a \u201cconflict of interest\u201d in their academic papers.<\/li>\n<li>The DoD, UN and CDC are jointly funding a spin-off company for \u201ctreating snake bites\u201d despite there only being 120000 snake bite deaths a year.<\/li>\n<li>The analysis of deaths through COVID demonstrate a pattern consistent with paralysis of the diaphragm that occurs through these particular venoms and the particular patterns of organ failures demonstrate a pattern consistent with the toxic effects of these venoms.<\/li>\n<li>The venom has increased toxicity if applied at regular intervals after the initial infusion \u2013 this was why such extreme worldwide pressure was (and still is in some places) being put on people to receive their booster shots.<\/li>\n<li>By ensuring hospitalisation was the only treatment option available, euthanising drugs could be used as part of the treatment, particularly once people are sedated for ventilation.<\/li>\n<li>Some specific religious motivations governed the instigators of the pandemic (mentioned specifically below).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So, what are we to make of these claims?\u00a0 Particularly from someone like myself who is totally convinced of the synthetic nature of the pathogen and the organised nature of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Well, to assert that COVID has <em>no<\/em> viral dimension seems to be negating much of the research regarding its origination, its genomic sequencing and the like.\u00a0 That story in itself is a complex web of gain of function research, military research facilities and joint US-Canadian-Chinese, UK-US etc projects which create synthetic and extremely contagious viruses for use as biological weapons.\u00a0 I have written about that at length during my<a href=\"https:\/\/planetmacneil.org\/blog\/covid-19-thesis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> initial research<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, in fairness to the presentation, they make the point there is an extremely fine line between virus and venom with even the etymology of the word \u201cvirus\u201d communicating that to us.\u00a0 A self-replicating protein with all sorts of polypeptides that behaves with some kind of chemical determinism in a biological environment of our bodies could well be argued to be demonstrating \u201cviral\u201d characteristics.\u00a0 The \u201csymptoms\u201d of venom poisoning could well, in good faith, be ascribed to a virus \u201ccaught\u201d from a snake bite by someone familiar with viruses but unfamiliar with venom.<\/p>\n<p>The mass vaccination programme would indeed provide an ideal cover for the dissemination of specialised vaccine batches that contain these magnetically sheathed mRNA compounds which would explain the unusual behaviour some vaccine takers noted and were alarmed by whilst allowing professionals to accuse those suffering from adverse reactions as \u201ccaught up in anti-vaccine hysteria\u201d.\u00a0 It is certainly plausible that if population is indeed the \u201ccrisis\u201d it is made out to be, this was prototyping the direct action to avert the crisis.\u00a0 It established the protocols for mandating vaccination in response to a perceived public health threat and trialled the technologies for ensuring compliance in a population group, even to the level of enforcing vaccination as a condition of employment or commerce.\u00a0 It allowed profiling and predictions of the amount of resistance within different sections of the population.<\/p>\n<p>It was ethically defended as a protocol established through the weight of pragmatic necessity and though at first glance ruthless and brutal, it <em>was<\/em> acting in the best interests of humanity.\u00a0 This last comment is perhaps worth special attention if you have watched the presentation and picked up on some of the religious claims made by the presenter.\u00a0 In broad terms, I <em>would<\/em> agree with those that assert that one of the primary aims of the pandemic was to undermine the authority of specifically Christian churches within Western culture in order to reinforce the authority of and the dependence on, government.\u00a0 By demonstrating that it was in fact the State that could rescue you from the virus rather than the \u201chealing\u201d allegedly available through Psalm 91 or the practice of the laying on of hands or other \u201csacraments\u201d of the church, it served to undermine the role and authority these institutions had within the population.\u00a0 Indeed, many \u201cmega-churches\u201d closed to never open again or if they tried to open, nobody showed up.<\/p>\n<p>This secular reasoning of the protagonists did indeed have weight where the church was merely a sociological phenomenon and \u201cGod\u201d as a present and personal presence, was nowhere to be found.\u00a0 What we witnessed during the almost universal compliance of these religious institutions to the State, was a demonstration that they did not believe what they claimed to believe and quite correctly, people abandoned them either for the vaccine or for the few places that did believe what they said they believed<a href=\"#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\">[4]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This pattern of secular humanistic thinking is not unprecedented or unusual, many a humanist has made it a priority of their plan for humanity that \u201c<em>religion was to be seen as the enemy of all moral progress<\/em>\u201d (as the great Bertrand Russell had put it).\u00a0 What we have witnessed with the pandemic could merely be seen as the technocratic version of the humanist programme that was previously fought in the hallowed halls of academia or the media and had lacked the technological resources until now to operate on the wider human consciousness.\u00a0 Thus, I do believe there will be further, more severe pandemic events of which this served as an extended pilot, that will push us towards what globalists believe is the next industrial revolution that organises humanity according to a utopian and benevolent, but totalitarian vision.<\/p>\n<p>However, where I believe the presenter sounded a false note was the idea that inseminating us with \u201csnake\u201d venom somehow makes us more satanic in nature, and not merely the creatures of God (the pandemic thus being a satanic plot).\u00a0 Whilst I am happy to accept it was indeed a satanic plot (one of my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/340772114_COVID-19_Novel_Coronavirus_God's_Blessing_or_Satan's_Curse\">earliest and most well-read commentaries<\/a> on the pandemic might be seen as asserting this), I believe the view presented is well beyond the Christian understanding of humanity as a whole and particularly antithetical to what it is that constitutes the individual human being in any sense with respect to orthodox Christian theology.<\/p>\n<p>This is because the individual person is primarily a <em>spirit<\/em> being, clothed in a body and possessing the rational faculties of the soul.\u00a0 A person <em>is<\/em> influenced to an important degree by their biology and how they relate to the physical world and the chemical processes of their brain do indeed influence their actions and emotions.\u00a0 Individuals can indeed become dependent on physical substances and develop complexes which militate against acting in their own good (in a rational way).\u00a0 It is even defensible that state actors have actively introduced compounds into food and water to influence social behaviour and we would do well to heed the wider injunctions within the scriptures regarding what we eat and what our relation to government is.<\/p>\n<p>However, to assert that via an exotic chemical cocktail modelled after snake venom, will make us more satanic is a false assertion and an irrational jump from an otherwise defensible position the presenter took.\u00a0 It might indeed be the case that Christians who took the vaccination will need some kind of ministry to recover from side effects or injuries, and personal repentance for trusting in a State provided vaccine rather than in the healing or preserving power of God to keep them well.\u00a0 After the same manner, it could be considered an act of faithlessness and lead to the increase of ungodly spiritual influences in their lives.<\/p>\n<p>However, that is different than describing such a person as apostate and the graceful mercy of God is able to restore those who by lack of example or by force of fear or pressure felt obliged, or even in good confidence in the science<a href=\"#_ftn5\" name=\"_ftnref5\">[5]<\/a>, were happy to take vaccines and boosters until the prospect of a third, fourth, fifth (now sixth) suggested that there was in fact no good reason to receive further shots even when threatened by political and social sanction<a href=\"#_ftn6\" name=\"_ftnref6\">[6]<\/a>.\u00a0 It is a simple process to repent and to be restored.<\/p>\n<p>So, in final conclusion, I would certainly recommend listening to the presentation and assessing the evidence.\u00a0 There are plenty of thought-provoking references to real live research and there is provided an empirically adequate theory with respect to the architecting of much of the COVID pandemic.\u00a0 Of course, empirical adequacy is distinct from truth and my personal feeling is that though there is a lot of substantive material that is of use, and it explains some previously unexplained phenomena, we do not need to fear injections that dilute the nature of God in us.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> It is grim to now witness the same, now penitent scientists or media pundits criticise the fear-filled narratives like \u2018Stay Home and Save Lives\u2019 replete with the dying patient in the hospital bed which were plastered over every available space to promote the pandemic in its early days.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref2\" name=\"_ftn2\">[2]<\/a> Bentham (1748-1832) proposed a moral \u201ccalculus\u201d, that would allow the assessment of whether an action was right or wrong (and the corollaries, good or bad) by analysing whether it would create the \u201cgreatest happiness in the greatest number\u201d.\u00a0 It was a strictly non-religious ethical theory of moral action which was foundational to utilitarianism which exerted a large influence on the socialism and pragmatism of succeeding generations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref3\" name=\"_ftn3\">[3]<\/a> I have personal, eye-witness testimony from some of those.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref4\" name=\"_ftn4\">[4]<\/a> Thus, for those churches like those of RHB, his supporters and his fellow travellers who refused to comply, their churches have grown dramatically.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref5\" name=\"_ftn5\">[5]<\/a> One senior leader in my area who is a research scientist in real life, took this position, regarding the ?-er jab as \u201cancient technology\u201d and were motivated to take the jab \u201cso that they could see their mother\u201d who was in a home.\u00a0 Other leaders I know took two jabs for similar personal reasons and then said, \u201cno more\u201d, despite government edicts that refusal to take future jabs would mean their status would revert to \u201cunvaccinated\u201d and \u201cunprotected\u201d.\u00a0 The very fact that these were claimed as identical \u201cbooster\u201d jabs which were increasingly ineffective against new variants made it all the more perplexing that they should be mandated.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref6\" name=\"_ftn6\">[6]<\/a> In retrospect, you could well conclude the entire pandemic and vaccination programme was a financial scam that made, last count, over 55bn for one of the manufacturers.\u00a0 The same company now has \u201cthirteen primary pathogens\u201d that it wishes to counter with new mRNA vaccines.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a id=\"broadcast\" name=\"broadcast\"><\/a><br
