12-1 Danny Sheehan on QAnon
From November email from Danny:
On September 24, Danny sat down with his dear friend, Bill Stranger, to talk about the QAnon Conspiracy Theory. That interview, along with an accompanying article by Bill, was uploaded to the heavily trafficked blog site, Medium.com j Because Medium bases the prominence of its articles upon the traffic they get soon after being uploaded, I ask that you visit the page right away. And of course, the more people with whom you share this link and ask to do the same thing, the more prominently this important interview will be featured.
We must all do our best to counter the disinformation contained in the QAnon conspiracy theory. I’m sure that by now you’re familiar with this viral social media phenomenon, which — along with the president’s coronavirus diagnosis and so many other things — threatens to upend the upcoming election. QAnon has escaped its birthplace in the far (alt) right of the political spectrum and is now rapidly spreading throughout America and Western Europe. More than 20 lawmakers on the ballot nationwide have expressed various levels of belief. Most surprisingly, it is gaining huge traction in what you would have thought were unlikely constituencies — spiritual seekers and people in the wellness communities.
QAnon’s lurid, preposterous claims about horrific crimes against children being committed by leaders of the Democratic Party, Hollywood liberals, and billionaire philanthropists seem to trigger something deep in the human psyche that many people are unprepared to handle. It is possible that you already have family and friends who have succumbed to it.
With ever more of Donald Trump’s supporters showing up at his political rallies holding signs proclaiming this conspiracy, the QAnon phenomenon has recently become the subject of concerned articles in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the UK Guardian, the Atlantic, and the New Yorker magazines.

Greensboro Civil Rights Case (Waller vs Butkovich)
The first case in. American History in which officials of the state or city police department were held directly liable for colluding with the KKK to murder American Civil Rights Workers
On November 6, 1979, in Greensboro, North Carolina, a “death squad” established by the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan of North Carolina gunned down six textile plant union organizers on a public street. The organizers were in the process of conducting a racially-integrated effort to organize a labor union in a local plant. At the time of the killings, they were leading an “Anti-Klan Rally” to “push back” against the Klan and Nazi effort to intimidate workers from joining the union.

2:30-3 The Execution of Martin Luther King: William Pepper. Part 1 of 2
Bill Pepper became James Earl Ray’s lawyer when he found out that Ray was not the murderer. His friendship with King and his family goes back to 1967. Pepper had gone to Vietnam and taken photos of children burned by napalm. King asked to meet with him and they worked closely together during the anti-Vietnam war phase of King’s life. In this recording Pepper explains why he became convinced of Ray’s innocence and, during 25 years of investigative work, pieced together the plot to kill King. The extraordinary story has implications for history, civil rights, justice and democracy. (Feb. 2003)

3-3:30 The Execution of Martin Luther King: William Pepper. Part 2
updated archival program
In Part ONE: Bill Pepper became James Earl Ray’s lawyer when he found out that Ray was not the murderer. His friendship with King and his family goes back to 1967. Pepper had gone to Vietnam and taken photos of children burned by napalm. King asked to meet with him and they worked closely together during the anti-Vietnam war phase of King’s life.
After the failure of all his efforts to get James Earl Ray a new trial, William Pepper recommended one more option to the King family. In this Part TWO Pepper explains why he recommended a wrongful death suit against Loyd Jowers and other known and unknown conspirators. For the first time under oath in any assignation case there is the complete picture of how Martin Luther King was killed. It took the jury 59 minutes to come back with a verdict against Loyd Jowers and an award for the family.
There is a summary of the outcome – as well as 4,000 pages of transcripts posted on the King Center web site. Here is what Coretta Scott King said about the case: “After four weeks of testimony and over 70 witnesses in a civil trial in Memphis, Tennessee, twelve jurors reached a unanimous verdict on December 8, 1999 after about an hour of deliberations that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. In a press statement held the following day in Atlanta, Mrs. Coretta Scott King welcomed the verdict, saying , “There is abundant evidence of a major high level conspiracy in the assassination of my husband, Martin Luther King, Jr. And the civil court’s unanimous verdict has validated our belief. I wholeheartedly applaud the verdict of the jury and I feel that justice has been well served in their deliberations. This verdict is not only a great victory for my family, but also a great victory for America. It is a great victory for truth itself. … The jury was clearly convinced by the extensive evidence that was presented during the trial that, in addition to Mr. Jowers, the conspiracy of the Mafia, local, state and federal government agencies, were deeply involved in the assassination of my husband.
The jury also affirmed overwhelming evidence that identified someone else, not James Earl Ray, as the shooter, and that Mr. Ray was set up to take the blame. I want to make it clear that my family has no interest in retribution. Instead, our sole concern has been that the full truth of the assassination has been revealed and adjudicated in a court of law… My husband once said, “The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” To-day, almost 32 years after my husband and the father of my four children was assassinated, I feel that the jury’s verdict clearly affirms this principle. With this faith, we can begin the 21st century and the new millennium with a new spirit of hope and healing.”

12-12:45 Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Children's Health Defense
“TRUTH” with RFK, Jr. and Author Jason. Shurka: The Vaccine Safety Movement
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and author and entrepreneur Jason Shurka take a look at the rise of the vaccine safety movement in recent decades.
By
Children's Health Defense Team
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/truth-jason-shurka-vaccine-safety-movement/
In the latest episode of our second season of “TRUTH” with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Jason Shurka interviewed Kennedy on the waning trust in federal regulatory agencies among parents that led to the emergence of the vaccine safety movement.
The two captured both big picture issues and historical actions that have become focal points in today’s COVID climate while expanding the ranks of those who question the Pharma/government vaccine paradigm.
Highlights of their discussion include:
The movement began among parents of vaccine-injured children who started doing their own research of peer-reviewed science which was at odds with what federal health agencies were telling the public.
Parents of vaccine-injured children can’t accurately be called “anti-vaxxers” but are in fact “ex-vaxxers.”
If federal regulatory agencies want to effectively address vaccine hesitancy, they can start by being honest.
Classifying vaccines as biologics vs. medicines eliminates the need for adequate safety testing.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has never conducted the vaccine safety studies required by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986.
With federal health agencies holding patents on vaccines, regulatory function has been eclipsed by the profit motive.

A Nation Imploding, Digital Tyranny, Insurrection, and Martial Law
This is what we have been reduced to: A violent mob. A nation on the brink of martial law. A populace under house arrest. A techno-corporate state wielding its power to immobilize huge swaths of the country. And a Constitution in tatters.
This is what happens when ego, greed and power are allowed to take precedence over liberty, equality and justice.
Just to be clear, however: this is not a revolution.
This is a ticking time bomb.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, JANUARY 20
(Back to "Bio-Pay-Op" after a 4 week hiatus with the 4-part "Farewell America")
12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #1156 - Bio-Psy-Op Apocalypse Now Part 16 - An Ounce of Prevention
In past programs, we have briefly noted that military and [ostensibly] civilian programs officially involved with “epidemic prevention” might conceal clandestine biological warfare applications designed to create epidemics.
This program further develops that inquiry.
The official distinction between “offensive” and “defensive” biological warfare research is academic.
In that context, one should note that the official title of Unit 731, the notorious Japanese biological warfare unit was “the Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of the Kwantung Army.”
Noteworthy in that general context is the observation by Jonathan King (professor of molecular biology at MIT), that Pentagon research into the application of genetic engineering to biological warfare could be masked as vaccine research, which sounds “defensive.”
In FTR #1130, we noted the role of four-star general Gustave Perna in Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed,” instituted by General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Whether the program serves as cover for military research seems a reasonable question to ask, under the circumstances.
In our last program, (ie 1155) we weighed New York Times columnist Charles Blow’s thoughts about a white-supremacist minority grouped around the GOP. Blow saw those interests working to preserve their privilege in a number of respects.
This program asks, in effect, if the global equivalent of Blow’s malefactors might be doing something similar with the Covid-19 “op” and related, overlapping clandestine operations. How might the interests we saw in FTR #1128
Selected excerpts of a Whitney Webb article provide insight into the possible offensive nature of programs ostensibly aimed at preventing epidemics. Like Unit 731 (see above), “Epidemic Prevention” may well be masking “epidemic creation.”
In connection with that possibility, the DARPA focus on gene-driving technology is frightening and fraught with devastating possibilities...

1-2 Erica Chenoweth, ''Civil Resistance in the 21st Century''
The success and failure rates of civil resistance movements might seem like something studied at the U.S. Army War College. But social scientists and political activists always want to know why some tactics work, and some don’t. Boycotts, street protests, armed conflict, nonviolent and non-cooperation tactics, we’re seeing myriad forms of resistance as governments place greater restraints on freedom everywhere. But to what effect? Today we can measure our clicks, our quirks, and consumer trends at all levels of the economy. So why not look at resistance movements’ metrics of success? Whether Velvet Revolutions in Czechoslovakia and Armenia, the overthrow of the Shah of Iran, or the recent failed attempt to overthrow U.S. Presidential election results, the timing, the tactics, the strategy, and the nature of the political opponent are all key factors.
Erica Chenoweth teaches Human Rights and International Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School where she directs the Nonviolent Action Lab at the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy. She is the author of Civil Resistance: What Everyone Needs to Know.

With Sounds True, Valarie has created The People’s Inauguration—a 10-day online program to help us reckon with all we have lost and point us toward a vision of the society we can build together, grounded in love. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami and Valarie discuss “revolutionary love” as a guiding ethic for our times. They explore what it is to extend love to all people without limit and how opening our hearts in this way is both an ancient and radical act. Valerie also talks about “the heart, and the fist”, and why both are necessary in order to create the systemic, cultural, and environmental transformations our world needs. Finally, Valarie shares what we can learn from our rage and grief, as well as the importance of connecting with our joy and our ancestors as we keep showing up for the labors of love before us.
