Japan Orders Investigation Into Covid Vaccine Deaths as MSM Admit “The Jabs Are Killing Us”
In another case of yesterday’s conspiracy theory becoming today’s fact, mainstream media is finally reporting on what we have known all along. Biden, Fauci and Gates have been sharing misinformation with us. There was no “winter of severe illness and death” for the unvaccinated.
In reality, this is a pandemic of the vaccinated.
Official investigations are being launched and lawsuits are being readied. But before we get to that, let’s take a look at an incredible phenomenon occurring closer to home. That’s right, in the US, mainstream media outlets are beginning to quietly and tentatively report on the truth.

Gov. Kathy Hochul wants to turn New Yorkers into fertilizer, signs bill that legalizes human composting
(Natural News) Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation to legalize human composting on December 31, 2022.

The Gateway Pundit reported that this method will provide New Yorkers with the option of choosing an “environmentally sustainable and cost-effective alternative” to burial and cremation.
Biden Admin Backs Risky Geoengineering Plan to Block Sun
'We screwed up the atmosphere, and now we have a moral obligation to fix things!'
(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) The Biden administration has proposed funding and outlining a five-year study into solar geoengineering, a science that pertains to deflecting the sun’s rays before they hit the earth.
According to the Guardian, one method the government is testing is sending a group of planes to spray reflective particles into the upper atmosphere. Ideally, this would block sunlight and keep surface temperatures from rising too high.
A White House spokesperson for the Office of Science and Technology Policy clarified that the basis for its recent proposal is “not new research, but a report that highlights some of the key knowledge gaps and recommendations of priority topics for relevant research.”
Biden Exposed Funding ‘Urgent’ Lab Research Into ‘Correcting False Beliefs’
The US government has been exposed funding secretive laboratory research on how to fight online “misinformation” by correcting “false beliefs.” The government project is in partnership with unnamed, shadowy fact-checkers who are being consulted to “help guide the research.”
Biden’s National Science Foundation (NSF) funded the project titled, “How False Beliefs Form and How to Correct Them.” This is what losing control of the narrative looks like. They are desperate to regain control.
The Fabric Of Our Society Is Coming Apart At The Seams Right In Front Of Our Eyes
One rule that I have always lived by is that crazy people should be avoided. But what good is that rule now that our entire society has started to go completely nuts? Everywhere you look, the fabric of our society is being completely shredded.
The thin veneer of civilization that we all used to be able to take for granted is rapidly disappearing, and violence often erupts for seemingly no reason at all. You simply cannot have a “civilization” without civilized people, and the truth is that we are becoming less civilized with each passing year. Sadly, this is particularly true for our young people.
Yeah let’s block the sun. Plants will die. Oxygen will diminish. But the suns rays will be less. Wtf? I’m glad I’m not in NY I don’t want to become fertilizer for someone’s community garden. The world is in such chaos I’m glad I’m on my way out, I fear for my grandchildren tho.
The "fabric of society" article is excellent. Civilization is indeed coming apart, dramatically and quickly. But it's not because of young people. Corrupted youth were indoctrinated by older people. The "waffle house girl" is no longer employed there because her (older) superiors punished her for breaking a sugar shaker during the fight. She is now blacklisted by that company from employment at any of their restaurants. Many of the misguided youths will be redeemed. Their elders who indoctrinated them will not be. They must be hunted down and removed from society. We will need to redefine what is required to be civilized in order to save civilization.
