COLIN POWELL, FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE, DIES OF COVID-19 COMPLICATIONS
"He was fully vaccinated. We want to thank the medical staff at Walter Reed National Medical Center for their caring treatment," the family said. "We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American."

Powell was 84 years old. [ Article ]

“Why are you choosing to not receive a COVID-19 vaccine?” This is a common question being asked by our friends, family, and physicians these days who genuinely care about our health and well-being. And we (my wife and I) sincerely appreciate that concern. This simple question has a complex answer that a 15-minute conversation does not afford. This document is certainly not exhaustive, but it is intended to help communicate the reasons “Why” using data, people’s own words, medical journals, and mainstream news sources.

All of the information used to guide us to our conclusion will be linked. Please do not simply take our word for any of this, review the referenced source material! We hope this stimulates you to do your own research (if you are doing searches on the internet, be aware of censorship and AI algorithms that shape the search results, not all search engines are the same), and do something dangerous… think critically, even when you are told not to.

Consumer Goods Giant to Raise Prices on More Staples, Blames Increase in Cost on Raw Materials

Procter & Gamble Co. said it will raise prices on a number of household staple goods as the cost for raw materials and freight has increased faster than it had anticipated.

The company, which makes a range of products including Tide and Charmin, said it would begin to charge more for oral care, beauty, and razors. Earlier this year, Procter & Gamble said it would charge more for toilet paper and diapers.

The new price hikes are not being implemented on all its products, but they will be marked for specific items such as razors and in some sub-categories, CFO Andre Schulten told Reuters. U.S. retailers are aware of the new sticker prices, he added.

Global supply chains are under strain due to factors such as a resurgence of COVID-19 lockdowns in Asia and labor shortages in the United States, leading to a surge in raw material prices that is also squeezing profits at Unilever and Reckitt Benckiser.

NATO’s COGNITIVE WARFARE
NATO is spinning out a new kind of combat it has branded cognitive warfare. Described as the “weaponization of brain sciences,” the new method involves “hacking the individual” by exploiting “the vulnerabilities of the human brain” in order to implement more sophisticated “social engineering.”

A NATO-backed study conceded that the military alliance is developing offensive tactics against civilian populations - stating, “The human is very often the main vulnerability and it should be acknowledged in order to protect NATO’s human capital but also to be able to benefit from our adversaries’s vulnerabilities.”

In a chilling disclosure, the report said explicitly that “the objective of Cognitive Warfare is to harm societies -- not only the military.”

NATO’s development of hybrid warfare comes at a time when member states’ military campaigns are targeting domestic populations on an unprecedented level.

GOVERNMENT & CORPORATE ELITE "LEADERSHIP" ARE ERASING FOOTAGE TO CENSOR MASSIVE TRIESTE PROTESTS AGAINST THE GREEN PASS
Every single live webcam I checked for #Trieste in Italy showed the same empty square. When in fact it’s PACKED FULL of protestors. When/where else have they done this?

“The past was erased,
the erasure was forgotten,
the lie became the truth”
~ George Orwell

This is truly surreal in every sense of the word. Here is the truth about the tremendous protests in Trieste, uncovered by the media. [ Article ]

Record Number of Container Ships Waiting Off Ports of Long Beach, Los Angeles: Executive

The United States’ largest container port now has a record backlog of ships and containers, according to Gene Seroka, the executive director of the Port of Los Angeles.

“We have about two weeks’ worth of work sitting at anchor right now,” Seroka told CNN, adding that port workers are currently trying to prioritize the cargo that needs to move from the port as soon as possible.

Some 200,000 shipping containers remain on ships off the coast, he added.

“There’s product that needs to get out there in super-fast speed,” he said. “Think about the toys, the other Christmas product, and parts and components for factories.”

His comment comes just days after President Joe Biden announced that the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have committed to 24/7 shifts to alleviate supply chain bottlenecks ahead of the Christmas shopping season.

C-THRU TECH
When it comes to tough environments to build new technology, firefighting is among the most difficult. Smoke and heat can quickly damage hardware, and interference from fires will disrupt most forms of wireless comms, rendering software all but useless. From a tech perspective, not much has changed when it comes to how people respond to fires.

Qwake Technologies, a startup based in San Francisco, is developing a hardware augmented reality headset named C-THRU. Worn by responders, the device scans the surrounding area and uploads key environmental data to the cloud, allowing all responders and incident commanders to have one common operating picture of their situation.

Volcanic activity raises Japanese island, exposing sunken Second World War ships
An undersea volcano and related tectonic activity near the Ogasawara island chain in Japan has raised the island of Iwo Jima, exposing a fleet of partially sunken Second World War ships. Aerial footage from the Japanese All-Nippon News Network reported the strange phenomenon on Monday. The black beach on Iwo To, formerly known as Iwo Jima, was stormed by thousands of U.S. Marines Feb. 19, 1945 during the Battle of Iwo Jima. Many relics of the war remain in the waters and scattered among the sands. The ghostly fleet of wrecks, which can often be seen partially submerged, now appear beached on the small volcanic island’s black sandy beaches. https://strangesounds.org/2021/10/volcanic-activity-raises-japanese-island-exposing-sunken-second-world-war-ships-signs-of-looming-wwiii.html

Walter Reed on lockdown for bomb threat

The facility received an anonymous call at about 8:45 a.m. Wednesday. The caller said there was a bomb at or near building 10 – the main hospital building. Naval Support Activity Bethesda, which includes Walter Reed, put the installation on lockdown and sent security to the scene.

As of 10 a.m., the base remained on lockdown, with all gates closed and personnel sheltering in place. Through its Twitter account, Naval Support Activity Bethesda said there was no indication of an active shooter.

At about 10:50 a.m., bomb-sniffing dogs were sent to check all buildings at the installation, the base said. An “all clear” had not been announced as of 11:20.

White House Details Plan To "Quickly" Vaccinate 28 Million Children Age 5-11
The Biden administration on Wednesday unveiled its plan to 'quickly' vaccinate roughly 28 million children age 5-11, pending authorization from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Within hours of formal approval, expected after the Centers for Disease Control&Prevention advisory meeting scheduled for Nov. 2-3, doses will be shipped to providers across the country, with smaller needles for kids, within days will be ready to go in the arms of kids on a wide scale. The White House secured enough to supply over 25,000 doses for pediatricians and primary care physicians who have already signed up to deliver the vaccine, while the country now has enough Pfizer vaccine to jab roughly 28 million kids who will soon be eligible, this won't be a slow roll-out like we saw 10 months ago when doses&capacity issues meant adults had to wait. https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/white-house-details-plan-quickly-vaccinate-28m-children-age-5-11

New Poll: Only 51 Percent of Parents Eager To Vaccinate Their Children
In Canada, a poll was recently conducted by the Angus Reid Institute asked respondents, “If a COVID-19 vaccine becomes available to your child aged 5 to 11, will you get them vaccinated or not?”

51 percent said they’d do it right away. 18 percent said they’d eventually do it but would wait a little bit, while 23 percent of parents polled selected “No, I will not get a vaccine for my child(ren). The remaining 8 percent said “not sure”. https://thepulse.one/2021/10/20/new-poll-only-51-percent-of-parents-eager-to-vaccinate-their-children/

Secret Vaccine Contracts Reveal How Pfizer Strong-Armed Governments to Maximize Profits
In a report published Tuesday, Public Citizen exposed how Pfizer, through secret contracts, used its monopoly on COVID vaccines to extract concessions from “desperate” governments. Pfizer has used its position as a producer of one of the leading COVID-19 vaccines to “silence governments, throttle supply, shift risk, and maximize profits” through secret contracts with countries around the world, according to a Public Citizen report published Tuesday. “Behind closed doors, Pfizer wields its power to extract a series of concerning concessions from governments,” report author Zain Rizvi, law and policy researcher at Public Citizen’s Access to Medicines program, said in a statement. “The global community cannot allow pharmaceutical corporations to keep calling the shots.” https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/covid-vaccine-contracts-pfizer-maximize-profits/

FDA’s War Against the Truth on Ivermectin

Ivermectin may or may not be a miracle drug for COVID-19, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration doesn’t want us to learn the truth. On July 28, the Wall Street Journal ran our article “Why Is the FDA Attacking a Safe, Effective Drug?” In it, we outlined the potential value of the antiparasitic drug ivermectin for COVID-19, and we questioned the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) vigorous attack on ivermectin. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/fda-warning-merck-ivermectin-covid/
