Killing freedoms with Public Private Partnerships
I got a traffic ticket in the mail several months ago from Tacoma Municipal court. A traffic camera filmed me not fully stopping at a red light when I was turning right. The bill itself had to be paid on a website called, euphemistically, Zero Fatality. Zero Fatality is operated by Novoaglobal, which operates inContinueContinue reading “Killing freedoms with Public Private Partnerships”

What’s behind the push to tear down Our Lady of the Holy Rosary?
In Tacoma, Washington, the historic Our Lady of the Holy Rosary building sits empty and in a state of disrepair. A chain-link fence surrounds the building and plywood covers some of the windows to keep trespassers out and protect the century-old stained glass.

The WEF is using indigenous cultures to promote collectivism and solidify its control
When I came across the World Economic Forum’s article titled “A Māori lens on AI: how indigenous cultures can help keep us grounded,” I got that sick feeling in my stomach that always comes with a taste of the New World Order. The article asks, “So, what if AI could be embedded with the valuesContinueContinue reading “The WEF is using indigenous cultures to promote collectivism and solidify its control”
The most dangerous side effect of the Covid-19 vaccines
Am I the only one who feels like we’re in a Men in Black movie? Watching the weirdness of 2020 (Covid, BLM and the election) was like witnessing an alien invasion. A slimy monster from another world, probably hell, ravaged our cities, decimating lives, shutting down businesses, and slobbering all over the place. Then, asContinueContinue reading “The most dangerous side effect of the Covid-19 vaccines”
