The Truth about Ongoing Underground Military Operations
Mark Baughman, Operation Disclosure, April 24, 2020, at https://operationdisclosure1.blogspot.com/2020/04/the-truth-about-ongoing-underground.html.
“This is about the battles and secret war updates in the D.U.M.B. bases and tunnels underground to rescue children worldwide. The Marines are leading the charge, with Navy Seals … embedded in the operations. …
“My source was on a conference call and knows several Marines in these operations, who know details and numbers. We need to report this to the general public to let them know ‘how big and horrific’ [it is] and the truth about the worldwide satanic pedophiles who sacrifice children and also practice cannibalism. I reported the menu cover a such a restaurant in Los Angeles area. There was one in New York area I knew about last year. I know the New York one was shut down last year.
“They do this evil against children in mostly underground secret ritual rooms, in these bases, tunnels or even the elites’ homes that have reported to have mass rooms and tunnels connecting to other houses or secret outlets. The elites like the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Clintons, Bill Gates and wife, Senior Bush & most of family, Warren Buffet, Barrack Obama and male wife [GAoG does not regard the charges against the Obamas as credible.] .
“This is big in Hollywood and many royal families in Europe. The elites and many Hollywood stars scare children extremely, then kill them for their blood for the adrenaline & stem cells that make a blood cocktail the elites pay high dollars for to keep them looking young. This is called adrenochrome. The white hats and militaries worldwide created task forces to take care of this underground and secret evil societies, by arrests and destroying these underground havens.
“In a separate operation, in November and December 2019, the White Hats employed a secret agent to work at the level # 4 lab in Wuhan, China. They did process adrenochrome there. From my intelligence, operations worldwide closed most of the adrenochrome processing plants, so the Wuhan one would be the last one, or close to the last one.
“The talented and educated agent contaminated these total batches with the L-Strain of the CV-19 virus. Now, this version, it cannot be pasted on to other people. The S-Strain is curable, and is what is sweeping the planet. The adrenochrome is sold a website and shipped directly to the “blood drinkers” homes or businesses. All 1.2 to 1.5 million drinkers will die of this strain of the virus. This is to make sure all adrenochrome drinkers are brought to justice in one swoop. This is from very high intelligence sources.
“Please know that over twenty countries in Europe area have joined in on our 37,000 more troops that went to Europe under the cover of ‘training exercises.’ Steward did let us know that in Italy, Spain and France, the operations are going on, and success has been at every turn. But you know, these troops have been purposely trained for underground and tunnel operations. I was finally informed of a Chinese similar operation under their capital; Beijing, China. That is the extent of the information abroad.”
Roselyne FEBVRE, “French gender equality minister on helping victims of domestic violence during lockdown
The Interview, April 21, 2020, at https://www.france24.com/en/20200421-french-gender-equality-minister-on-helping-victims-of-domestic-violence-during-lockdown.
In an interview with FRANCE 24, Marlène Schiappa, France’s minister for gender equality, discussed the rise in domestic violence during the country’s Covid-19 lockdown and the measures taken by the French government in response.
French people have now lived in lockdown for five weeks as part of the fight against Covid-19 and domestic violence has significantly increased during this period. French Gender Equality Minister Marlène Schiappa discussed the alert system put in place by the government in a bid to help women.
“When a woman is in lockdown with her violent spouse or partner, (this) makes it more difficult for them to call for help,” Schiappa told FRANCE 24. She added that the government has created “multiple possibilities” for victims of domestic violence to sound the alarm.
#DropOutBiden Trends, Fueled by Progressives and #MeToo Supporters
Breitbart News, April 25, 2020, at https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/04/25/dropoutbiden-trends-fueled-by-progressives-and-metoo-supporters/
The hashtag #DropOutBiden trended on Twitter beginning early Saturday morning and throughout the day, fueled in part by progressives and #MeToo movement supporters calling on Joe Biden to drop out of the 2020 presidential race.
Although supporters of Biden tried to blame the hashtag on Russian bots, there were several prominent progressives who were using the hashtag, such as Peter Daou, a former Hillary Clinton adviser.
DIFFICULT THREAD — #BIDEN SHOULD WITHDRAW
1. I respect the will of the voters.
2. But new information has emerged supporting #TaraReade‘s account of being sexually assaulted by #JoeBiden.
3. Credible rape accusations are disqualifying or we have NO moral standards.
— Peter Daou (@peterdaou) April 25, 2020
A number of those tweeting the hashtag seemingly included supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). As the day wore on, prominent conservative figures and pundits also began tweeting it.
The hashtag coincided with the emergence of an alleged video clip of Biden accuser Tara Reade’s mother.
The 1993 clip from Larry King Live featured a woman calling in to the show from San Luis Obispo, where Reade’s mother reportedly lived at the time. On the show, the woman said that her daughter had just worked for a “prominent senator” and had a story to tell but did not want to go to the press out of respect for the senator.
Katrín Jakobsdóttir Highlights COVID-19 Gender Equality Concerns
Rejkjnavik Grapevine, April 22, 2020, at https://grapevine.is/news/2020/04/22/katrin-jakobsdottir-highlights-covid-19-gender-equality-concerns/
UN Women and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development brought together 30 female leaders from governments and charitable organisations across the globe to discuss gender equality in relation to COVID-19. The event was conducted as a remote video conference and Katrín featured as a keynote speaker.
The participants were in agreement that gender equality should be central to governments’ responses to the pandemic. As Katrín put it, “it is important that we have a gender perspective as a guiding principle in our response to the COVID-19 epidemic and ensure that this crisis does not backfire on gender equality.” The UN Secretariat General, António Guterres, recently declared that the pandemic is exacerbating existing gender inequalities, especially in the labour market, meaning women are worst hit by the social and economic impact of the crisis.
Domestic Violence
One of the key issues Katrín discussed during the conference was domestic violence. Whilst it’s worth noting that women are not the sole victims of domestic violence, women are at far higher risk. Gender-based violence has been a major point of concern for Icelanders in recent weeks following several high-profile incidents. As reported, a woman in her fifties was murdered in Suðurnes earlier this month and another woman in her sixties was killed in Hafnafjörður. Male family members have been arrested in connection with both cases. Experts fear that increased time at home and social isolation during the pandemic may put women at greater risk of experiencing domestic violence and may worsen the situation of those in abusive relationships.
Addressing these worries is increasingly a priority for the Icelandic authorities.

Coronavirus Numbers Hoax EXPOSED: Pennsylvania Forced To Remove Hundreds Of Deaths From Coronavirus Death Count After Coroners Raise Red Flags
Pennsylvania has had to remove hundreds of coronavirus deaths from its official death count this week, following questions of accuracy and highlighted discrepancies by area coroners.
The PA health department decided to include “probable” coronavirus deaths, or an assumed COVID-19-related death without testing for the virus, to their death tolls, dating back days and even weeks ago. But the death toll spike raised questions from coroners who came forward to highlight a discrepancy in death totals, which were not adding up to the number of all-cause deaths.

Pushing Universal Basic Income, Andrew Yang Supporters Get #CongressPassUBI Trending
Andrew Solender, Forbes, April 24, 2020
Following the passage of a $484 billion bill to supplement the CARES Act, which does not include individual stimulus checks, supporters of former presidential candidate Andrew Yang took to Twitter to push for a universal basic income (UBI)—a concept he championed—in the next bill with the hashtag #CongressPassUBI.
KEY FACTS
Yang ran in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary on a platform centered around UBI, amassing a robust cult following online but failing to break through in early primaries.
Commentators note the similarities between Yang’s UBI proposal and the stimulus check program included in the initial CARES Act passed in March.
But some dispute they are the same policy, pointing out that the stimulus check is a one-time payment limited by income bracket, while Yang’s UBI would be a recurring monthly payment to all Americans regardless of income.
Yang’s supporters began tweeting the hashtag #CongressPassUBI at noon on Friday, which was trending with over 46,000 tweets as of 4:00 p.m., with Yang pushing supporters to call their lawmakers as well.
Advocates specifically push for monthly payments of $2,000 for adults and $500 for children, rather than the $1,000 a month Yang proposed in his presidential campaign, which they argue would “soften the economic downturn” and reduce the urge to prematurely end stay-at-home orders.
Some point to a “cash infusion” bill proposed by Reps. Ro Kanna, D-Calif., and Tim Ryan, D-Ohio., as well as a bill to give $3,000 to individuals and $6,000 to families proposed by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., as examples of benchmark legislation that could be passed.
Universal Basic Income is older than you think, but coronavirus gave it wings
Chris Taylor, Mashable, April 24, 2020
https://mashable.com/article/ubi-universal-basic-income-coronavirus-history/
In the darkest hour of the coronavirus pandemic, in the face of an expected 30 percent unemployment rate and a likely new Great Recession, income-supplementing programs are springing up everywhere. And not just in those slow-to-arrive federal stimulus checks.
Here’s Project 100, a nonprofit, giving $1,000 to 100,000 U.S. families starting this week. There’s Spain’s government planning a basic income that will last beyond the crisis, Europe’s first. Brazil, having kicked around the idea of basic income for decades, just implemented it for 59 million people and their dependents, thanks to a 500,000-person strong grassroots campaign. “This may be time for a universal basic wage,” Pope Francis told the world in his 2020 Easter message. The world was, amazingly, way ahead of him.
Times of fear and unrest have also, historically, been great times to implement social safety nets. FDR brought in Social Security — effectively, basic income for seniors — at the bottom of the Great Depression. National healthcare systems sprung up across Europe after it was broken by World War II. Universal Basic Income was thrust into the spotlight in the 2010s over fears that automation will kill millions of jobs. COVID-19 could be the tipping point that actually implements it in the 2020s.
This #COVID19 proposal out of the house financial committee is really good:
– 2k/month per person every month of the crisis
– suspension of all mortgages, student loans, credit card and loan payments
– prohibit debt collection and repossession
– $5b in homeless assistance pic.twitter.com/qX5IOwHWnS— Max Berger (@maxberger) March 19, 2020
A $2,000 check for every American, every month of the crisis, has already been proposed as part of the coronavirus stimulus package bills, though it hasn’t yet made it out of the House finance committee. The public, rarely united around anything these days, is certainly in favor. This month a poll of over 2,000 likely voters indicates a majority of Americans — in both parties! — support $2,000 monthly payments for everyone for the duration of the crisis and one year after. Let UBI exist in America for a year, and it’s hard to imagine any politician dare remove it.
But beware, UBI proponents. Basic income isn’t as new an idea as you think, and it has been snatched away before by elite policymakers who just don’t trust the working poor to spend the given cash responsibly. To see how the same conflict arises time after time, you have to go back two centuries to a country beset not by a pandemic, but by famine, unemployment, and war.
The Time for Universal Basic Income Has Arrived – Scraps Mean Little
Avay Shukla, The Citizen (India), April 23, 2020
It is time to accept that the global mayhem currently playing out has not all been created by the Coronavirus- it is a catalyst which has exposed the many problems that already existed- chief among them being rampant (and increasing) inequality, pathetic health care systems, lack of social safety nets and environmental degradation.
COVID 19 is not just a public health issue- it will begin as one, but its real impact in times to come shall be on livelihoods, social structures, economic models and our ways of life.
Limiting myself to India, it is clear that if we don’t reform our governance immediately, we will be even more vulnerable to COVID 22 or 23 when it comes around again, as it inevitably shall. There is only so much dependence that can be placed on Ayurveda, Pranayam, Yoga, lock downs and lighting of candles.
Take the economic model that reigns supreme these days, and has since the 1990s- the neo liberal capitalist theory. Its false Gods are GDP and the creation of wealth, never mind that the top 1% of Indians own 51.3% of the national wealth, leaving only 4.8% for the bottom 60%; putting it another way, 12 million Indians own four times the wealth held by 953 million Indians ( OXFAM report, Davos 2020).
The coronavirus is just a temporary nuisance for the former, but a life and death issue for the latter, as the misery and mass suffering of millions of migrants and abandoned labourers in Mumbai, Anand Vihar, Surat, Hyderabad, etc testify to. It is expected that perhaps as many as 200 million additional Indians shall be pushed below the poverty line this year, adding to the 250 million already there. Many will not even be able to access the PDS rations because they are either migrants or do not have ration cards; the collapsed economy will render tens of millions unemployed for a long time.
COVID has exposed the inequity and hollowness of the economic model we have been following and it is time to throw out the billionaire with the bath water. It is public values, and not private values, which should shape our economic planning; the distribution of wealth is as vital as the creation of wealth, and the wretched must be given their rightful place at the high table, they should have first claim to the nation’s resources.
Noam Chomsky, the American philosopher and linguist in an interview to DIEM TV ( which all of us must watch) does not mince his words. He ascribes the devastating economic impact of COVID 19 to a ” neo-liberal plague”, a ” savage neo-liberalism” the script of which has been dictated to governments by their ” corporate masters”. In an alarming aside he further warns that “authoritarian states are quite compatible with neo-liberalism.”
We have seen enough evidence of this in India too, particularly over the last six years. Corona is telling us that this mould has to be broken, the “Daridranarayan” of Mahatma Gandhi, not the billionaire of Davos, must now become the focal point of all economic planning. A country with more than a third of its population below the poverty line, and with a current unemployment rate of 24% ( rising every day), cannot even think of any other model.
The time for Universal Basic Income( UBI) has arrived. What India’s 800 million poor/ migrant/ landless population desperately needs now is a safety net, not just an uncertain 10 kgs of rice, which in any case is not available to the 139 million migrant workers ( Census 2011) who lack a ration card or even a BPL card. Leading economists and Nobel prize winners have been imploring the central government to dispense with these requirements at a time like this when starvation is just over the horizon, but the response would put a four toed sloth to shame.
UBI is already being tested on a pilot basis in some countries, but the time for clinical trials is over and it must be implemented in the next few months. Vijay Joshi, an eminent Oxford economist, has estimated in a study that giving Rs. 17500 to each household in India every year would cost 3.5% of GDP or about Rupees seven lakh crores. A lot of this, however, can be recouped by doing away with many non-merit subsidies which currently total up to 7.5% of our GDP.
