The passport to your soul

"Imagine — the year is 50 PR (Post Reset). You are trying to get into an Amazon supermarket to buy a bug burger for dinner. The facial recognition software scans your face and flashes red; the door locks and denies you access. Your smartphone recently overheard you speaking critically of the government: you must go home and quarantine, where your smart lock will only allow you out once it has been determined that you are no longer at risk of spreading these contagious ideas. You have to do your part to flatten the curve of viral misinformation, after all. It’s for the greater good.

Vaccine passports are the lynchpin for this Hellish vision because they provide a central identity against which all of your data will be mapped (“Facebook as your birth certificate”). Your purchases, your Facebook likes, the locations you visit, the people you see, and even the content of your conversations, will all be connected to a single online identity.

Already, we are seeing movements to allow social media access only with a verified ID. Vaccine passports are also a huge leap forward in terms of social engineering: by allowing or denying access to services (both on- and offline), the passports act as a behaviourist’s paradise, conditioning people with punishment and reward.

The key to such massive social change is what the Behavioural Insights Team call “radical incrementalism”. Consider it like compound interest, or “boiling a frog”: tiny changes meet little resistance but make a huge difference over time. This is how the government has operated under COVID-19.

Whether it’s lockdowns, face masks, or vaccine passports, politicians have followed the same three-stepped approach: deny, then debate, then demand. The initial denial puts people’s fears at bay, while seeding the idea so that it is more palatable in the future; then, once the foot is in the door, the dial is slowly turned up. Just a few months ago, the government denied that vaccine passports would happen; today, they are introducing them, while denying that they would be used in supermarkets."

Earth 2100

We've just been through an agonising 2 hour video aired on ABC on 2nd June 2009.
It's a propaganda piece preparing you to change your behaviour and your life through fear (lots of it) of "climate change", overpopulation, drought, floods, resources, immigration, depopulation... Yet they openly say at the beginning that none of it is real. None of it is a prediction. They say that this "might happen". They have a fictional character taking you through their life but saying that it is "our life" and they include a few commentaries from "experts".

The mental gymnastics we had to do was hard on the brain to watch in one go.
We will spare you the full version of it but it's interesting to see some of today's expert villains in it.

John Podesta, playing the role of UN chairman in the war game.
David Petraeus was in the War Game simulation. His real job then was Commander of US Central Command and later became CIA Director from 2011 to 2012 under Obama.
Anthony Fauci jumping in to talk about a new disease.
Eric Schmidt who was CEO of Google at the time and is now Chairman of the National Security Commission on A.I.

They talk about the "new normal", masks and viruses on top of other things that we are seeing today.

One thing that can help bring sense to this melting pot of propaganda techniques: don't pay attention to the timeframe in which they present this story. Just look for hard evidence and facts. Dismiss the emotional blackmail/ambiance: music, dark drawings,...

If you want to read a little more about it, they have a wikipedia page.

The United States: farmers and dealers of Afghanistan's opium.

A few weeks ago, we covered the origins of HSBC (6 posts) during the opium wars with China "thanks" to the British East India Company.

Today, with the United States pulling troops out of Afghanistan, a lot of people are wondering what the last 20 years were all about.

In the above video, we see Abby Martin taking a big poke at the situation in 2013 and anybody that has been following our channel can now clearly see that nothing has changed since the East India Company.

In the 20th century, the U.S. have been given the role of 'property manager' by the previous administrators of the world, the British Empire, which is today called globalism.

U.S. Identifies Vast Mineral Riches in Afghanistan - The New York Times - 14-10-2010

WASHINGTON — The United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and enough to fundamentally alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Afghan war itself, according to senior American government officials.

The previously unknown deposits — including huge veins of iron, copper, cobalt, gold and critical industrial metals like lithium — are so big and include so many minerals that are essential to modern industry that Afghanistan could eventually be transformed into one of the most important mining centers in the world, the United States officials believe.

An internal Pentagon memo, for example, states that Afghanistan could become the “Saudi Arabia of lithium,” a key raw material in the manufacture of batteries for laptops and BlackBerrys.

The vast scale of Afghanistan’s mineral wealth was discovered by a small team of Pentagon officials and American geologists. The Afghan government and President Hamid Karzai were recently briefed, American officials said.

While it could take many years to develop a mining industry, the potential is so great that officials and executives in the industry believe it could attract heavy investment even before mines are profitable, providing the possibility of jobs that could distract from generations of war.

“There is stunning potential here,” Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of the United States Central Command, said in an interview on Saturday. “There are a lot of ifs, of course, but I think potentially it is hugely significant.”

The value of the newly discovered mineral deposits dwarfs the size of Afghanistan’s existing war-bedraggled economy, which is based largely on opium production and narcotics trafficking as well as aid from the United States and other industrialized countries. Afghanistan’s gross domestic product is only about $12 billion.

This will become the backbone of the Afghan economy,” said Jalil Jumriany, an adviser to the Afghan minister of mines.

American and Afghan officials agreed to discuss the mineral discoveries at a difficult moment in the war in Afghanistan. The American-led offensive in Marja in southern Afghanistan has achieved only limited gains. Meanwhile, charges of corruption and favoritism continue to plague the Karzai government, and Mr. Karzai seems increasingly embittered toward the White House.

So the Obama administration is hungry for some positive news to come out of Afghanistan. Yet the American officials also recognize that the mineral discoveries will almost certainly have a double-edged impact.

Instead of bringing peace, the newfound mineral wealth could lead the Taliban to battle even more fiercely to regain control of the country.

The corruption that is already rampant in the Karzai government could also be amplified by the new wealth, particularly if a handful of well-connected oligarchs, some with personal ties to the president, gain control of the resources. Just last year, Afghanistan’s minister of mines was accused by American officials of accepting a $30 million bribe to award China the rights to develop its copper mine. The minister has since been replaced.

Endless fights could erupt between the central government in Kabul and provincial and tribal leaders in mineral-rich districts. Afghanistan has a national mining law, written with the help of advisers from the World Bank, but it has never faced a serious challenge.

“No one has tested that law; no one knows how it will stand up in a fight between the central government and the provinces,” observed Paul A. Brinkley, deputy undersecretary of defense for business and leader of the Pentagon team that discovered the deposits.

Our comments on above article and situation on Afghanistan

The fact that the Taliban was able to walk into Kabul without any opposition, in spite of "America training the Afghan forces for 15 years and George Bush even saying that the Taliban regime was coming to an end as early as 2001", is very odd. There is more to this story.

We would argue that the United States' record of doing business and transferring technology or at least sharing technology (see Wuhan lab funding for 'gain-of-function/bioweapon" research) with China is quite extensive and that there is potentially a deal that was struck at some point over the last couple of years by the "deep state" apparatus with regards to Afghanistan's resources.

A deal for that "green lithium" trillion dollar mining contract struck between the U.S, Afghanistan, the Taliban and China. Either way, the Afghani people were not invited to the table for a discussion.

Is this the "build back better smart city green deal"?
Afghanistan Wanted Chinese Mining Investment. It Got a Chinese Spy Ring Instead - Foreign Policy - 27-01-2021

Part 1 of 3

Desperate to jump-start its economy, Kabul is sick of waiting for Beijing to tap the country’s mineral wealth.

The arrest in Kabul on 10th December 2020 of an alleged Chinese espionage ring has prompted Afghanistan to recalibrate its relationship with China, its resource-hungry giant neighbour to the East. Afghan government officials said that the country has terminated oil and gas contracts with China and is seeking to renegotiate the terms of a massive mining concession that has been nearly dormant since it was inked by China more than a decade ago.

The Afghan officials said they busted an alleged Chinese espionage ring operating in Kabul to hunt down Uighur Muslims with the help of the Haqqani network, a terrorist outfit linked to the Taliban. A senior security official said the ring had been operating for six or seven years. Afghan authorities have cooperated with China in the past on the detention and deportation of Uighurs suspected of terrorist activity, but officials said they were shocked at China’s duplicity.

“Is this the behaviour of a friend?” said one. Another source said the presence of the Chinese cell—widely reported by Indian news outlets, though notably not by Afghan or international media—was revealed to Afghan authorities by Indian intelligence.

The arrest has prompted Kabul, which is seeking to put its economy in order as it faces an uncertain future with the unfolding peace process, to use the incident as “leverage” against Beijing, one official said, especially in terms of renegotiating multimillion-dollar mining concessions.

“We have put them on notice—make progress on the contract or we will reissue the tender. This sector is very important to the Afghan economy and it’s time to get moving,” one of the officials said. “We want to make progress on major national projects. It has been many, many years, we have given (China) security, and we need to see returns and economic benefits.”

No deadline has been set for the renegotiation of the contract, though the official said that China had submitted a “five-page overview of where they’ve made progress.”

Neither China’s foreign ministry nor the embassy in London responded to requests for comment. The mining company, China Metallurgical Group Corporation (MCC), could not be reached.

The hardball tactics with China are a reflection both of the Afghan government’s frustration with the slow pace of mineral development in the country, and its desperate need for fresh sources of income as the United States, international forces, and many international donors are pulling up stakes. Afghanistan is dependent on international aid for 40 percent of its gross domestic product, the World Bank said in 2018. Aid levels are expected to halve by 2030, making it imperative that the government find alternative sources of funding.

Afghanistan has vast mineral deposits, including coal, copper and iron ore, talc, lithium and uranium, as well as gold, precious stones, oil and gas. Since the fall of the Taliban in 2001 [OpenMinds: Wonder if they are basing themselves on G. Bush's comment in 2001 or if this has actually been proven? In which case, somebody resurrected the Taliban...], the sector has been seen as the potential backbone of a post-war economy—and still is. But few major miners will risk venturing into the war-ravaged country—and China’s decision to discontinue work at Mes Aynak is indicative of even Beijing’s disinclination to operate in the face of insurgent threats at the site.

The Afghan government had high hopes for the huge copper deposits at Mes Aynak, about 40 km southeast of the capital. China’s state-owned MCC struck a $2.83 billion deal for a 30-year lease on the site in 2007—but has done little to develop it in the meantime. MCC has spent $371 million at the site, according to figures supplied by the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum.
Part 2 of 3

Afghan media reported last year that the inactivity at the site had cost the government $2 billion in lost revenues. Meanwhile, the Taliban is striking it rich by tapping into Afghanistan’s mineral wealth. The insurgents earn hundreds of millions of dollars annually from mining alone, according to some sources.

[OpenMinds: And there it is. The U.S and Afghanistan only had one buyer for the minerals. China thought they could get a better deal if the Taliban took over (perhaps even funded them to make a comeback) and they called the U.S. and Afghanistan's bluff. There are no mineral buyers in the world except China and the U.S. had no leverage to force business with China that most likely took offense to Afghanistan trying to strong arm them. The U.S. could not have taken the minerals back to the U.S. to manufacture stuff without raising suspicion about the initial reasons of the war in the first place. This is China's way of making the world capitulate and a collectivist society is also the Western's elite favourite way of ruling over a population. After all, in this channel we've documented enough history to show that "capitalists" funded "communism" in order to open up markets and plunder a country's resources]

Haroon Chakhansuri, the minister of mines and petroleum, told Foreign Policy that if the copper project at Mes Aynak was not reframed in “mutually agreed terms” the contract would be retendered. Afghanistan is opening its extractive sector to other countries, he said, citing a memorandum of understanding written on Sept. 10, 2020, with Australia’s Fortescue Future Industries.

But some observers say that targeting China will yield little for Kabul: Its neighbour is just too close and too big. Javed Noorani, an expert on Afghanistan’s extractives sector, said years of disingenuous rhetoric around renegotiations had already cost Afghanistan dearly.

Afghanistan has little choice but to try and open up one of the areas of its economy that has the potential to bring in billions of dollars to cash-strapped federal coffers. Afghanistan’s government, which is heavily dependent on dwindling amounts of foreign aid, is facing the possibility of being forced by the United States and its allies into a power-sharing deal with the Taliban. America has pulled out all but the last 2,500 troops in the country, as part of a peace deal then-President Donald Trump brokered with the terrorist group in 2020, but they must all leave the country by May. That withdrawal has undermined the Kabul government and led to a big spike in Taliban violence.

Mes Aynak, one of the world’s biggest untapped copper sources with an estimated 5.5 million metric tons of high-grade metal, has been plagued by allegations of corruption and collusion between Beijing and the Taliban to secure the site so work could commence.

The former minister of mines, Mohammad Ibrahim Adel, was fired in 2009 following accusations, which he denied, that he had accepted a $30 million bribe from MCC. And the then–general manager of MCC, Shen Heting, was kicked out of the Communist Party—a career-ending blow—for corruption in 2017.

“Both parties to the Aynak copper contract are anything but honest,” Noorani said, adding that some Afghan officials had benefited financially from “not implementing the terms of the MCC contract.”

Early plans for Mes Aynak included a smelter, coal-fired power plant, and rail link. MCC had “completed the exploration of the central deposit and submitted the final draft feasibility study of the mine in 2015,” the minister said—but no progress had been made since. One of the senior officials said the Afghan government has reminded China of that country’s “surprisingly strong back-channel contacts with the Taliban. They could have smoothed the way for the development of the [Mes Aynak] mine, but they’ve chosen not to do that”.

Foreign Policy - 27-01-2021
Part 3 of 3

Noorani said that as the biggest consumer of copper—51 percent of global production and growing—and owner of copper mines across the world, China’s interest lay in controlling prices on the London Metal Exchange. “So they are not going to let Aynak be retendered and will continue to hold the contract,” he predicted.

Those aren’t the only hurdles to speedier development. The mine is on the site of an 1,800-year-old buried city founded by Buddhist monks who mined the copper and left behind a trove of historical treasures. The only activity at the site for years has been archaeologists working to preserve Buddhist artifacts. A presidential decree last year—approving open-pit mining, preservation of the ancient city and relocation of the relics—aimed to push the Chinese into action.

“We expect our partners to resume the development process of the project, based on mutually agreed terms. If not, we will have to consider alternative options to create an enabling investment environment for potential investors,” Chakhansuri said.

Chakhansuri added that the project had been stalled due to “technical issues,” including protection of the cultural artifacts and the method of extraction. With the approval of the open-pit method, the government was now preparing for the resumption of negotiations, he said.

Meanwhile, looking ahead to a time when the United States no longer has any presence in Afghanistan, China has reportedly (by the Financial Times) been negotiating infrastructure contracts with the Taliban leadership, with whom ties go back to its 1996-2001 regime.

America's founding fathers and hemp

In the previous video, Abigail mentions President Reagan comparing the Contras being morally equivalent to the 'founding fathers' and goes on to make a sarcastic remark: "yeah, if our founding fathers were also international drug traffickers".

National Institute of Drug Abuse article says the founding fathers grew hemp on their own farm. In fact it was illegal not to grow it on your farm at one point. They say there is no proof that they smoked it although it was used "for medical purposes". This website gives you more details on it.

Jamestown, under the British Empire, was the first colony in America to cultivate hemp in 1607 and it went on to have a huge impact in early America for everything from clothing, food, rope, sail cloth and even to help with military efforts.

We know they did ship it internationally and it was considered a drug.

Did they really only smoke tobacco and didn't touch weed except for medical purposes?

Cover-up: Behind the Iran-Contra Affair

At the time of the affair 1986-1987, George H. W. Bush was vice-president under R. Reagan.

He then became president but before the end of his presidency he pardoned all of those indicted or convicted.

Former Independent Council Walsh noted that in issuing the pardons, Bush appeared to have been preempting being implicated himself by evidence that came to light during the Weinberger trial, and noted that there was a pattern of "deception and obstruction" by Bush, Weinberger and other senior Reagan administration officials.
