Electronic Skin Could Give Robots a Sense of Touch - BBC, June 14, 2024

Electronic skin could give robots a sense of touch. The first-ever stretchy electronic skin could equip robots and other devices with the same softness and touch sensitivity as human skin, opening up new possibilities to perform tasks that require a great deal of precision and control of force.

The new stretchable e-skin, developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, solves a major bottleneck in the emerging technology. Existing e-skin technology loses sensing accuracy as the material stretches, but that is not the case with this new version. Watch here.

Major Warning Issued on AI - The Epoch Times, June 10, 2024

A recent study has found that many artificial intelligence (AI) systems have already developed the ability to “deceive” humans with false information, posing serious risks such as election tampering.

The research study, published in the open-access journal Patterns on May 10, revealed that deception emerged in a wide range of AI systems that are trained to complete specific tasks, such as Meta’s AI system CICERO. Read more here.

Bombshell: Japan's Former Minister of Internal Affairs Apologizes to the Unvaccinated: 'You Were Right, Vaccines Are Killing Millions of Our Loved Ones' - The Guardian, May 31, 2024

In Japan, the mRNA vaccine was launched in February 2021 allegedly as a means to protect the Japanese people against a non-existent “killer virus”. More than 206 million doses have already been administered. The  Japanese population was not informed regarding the dangers of the mRNA vaccine.

In December 2021,  Japan's Ministry of Health  authorized booster shots of Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, pointing to the "low rate of side effects such as myocarditis". According to Japan's Ministry of Heath's early advisory (which was similar to that applied in numerous countries):

“The Government recommends that people get vaccinated because the benefits of vaccination are greater than the risk of side reactions.” 

The foregoing is misleading as pointed out in Kazuhiro Haraguchi's courageous statement:

"You were right, the vaccine is killing millions of our loved ones." More here,

Myocarditis and Pericarditis Only Appear After COVID Vaccination: NHS Preprint - The Epoch Times, May 31, 2024

Myocarditis and pericarditis only occur after vaccination and not after COVID-19 infection, according to a recent preprint led by researchers at Oxford University, which compared health outcomes among COVID-vaccinated and unvaccinated children.

“Whilst rare, all myocarditis and pericarditis events during the study period occurred in vaccinated individuals,” the authors wrote. There were no deaths from myocarditis or pericarditis. More here.

Fauci “Made Up” COVID Mandates - Armstrong Economics, June 4, 2024

As the world watches the “land of the free” attempt to imprison a former president, they are also waking up to realization that the pandemic was planned and fabricated. The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic has been attempting to get answers on why the world was shut down for a virus from Dr. Anthony Fauci who is slowly admitting the truth – he “made up” COVID mandates and protocols.

Remember how they told us we must stay precisely six feet away from one another? They had the distancing marked on floors across the world. Humans were not to interact with other humans, all because “the science” said so. ‘You know, I don’t recall. It sort of just appeared,’ the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) leader said in regards to this asinine rule as indicated in committee transcripts. More here.

Unveiling the CIA’s Clandestine Strategy and Motives for Dominating Social Media Platforms - Natural News, May 31, 2024

An in-depth investigation by independent journalists has revealed that the CIA orchestrated a substantial operation to control social media content during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly targeting then-Twitter (now X). This revelation is part of the latest Twitter Files drop, showing the CIA’s attempts to manage social media narratives from 2021 to 2022.

The report indicates that a member of the Board of Trustees at InQTel, the CIA’s venture capital firm, collaborated with former intelligence community (IC) and CIA analysts to manipulate Twitter’s content. The goal was to maintain control over the COVID-19 narrative under the pretense of combating “misinformation” and so-called “foreign propaganda.” Read more here.

Denver to Deploy Drones to Respond to 911 Calls - Natural News, May 31, 2024

Denver, Colorado's law enforcement is preparing to introduce aerial drones for specific circumstances instead of dispatching officers, as per an announcement from the city’s police department. This innovative move is made possible through a $100,000 grant from the Denver Police Foundation, with plans to commence the program within six to twelve months.

The initiative was done after the city's Democrat-led government reduced the Denver Police Department's (DPD) budget by $8.4 million, forcing the department to opt to use drones as initial responders. These drones will evaluate incidents to determine whether a physical police presence is warranted. Read more here.

Researchers Develop Breakthrough Ultrathin Infrared Filter for Next-Gen Night Vision - Tech Times, June 4, 2024

Researchers at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS) have recently achieved a groundbreaking advancement in night vision technology. They have developed an ultra-thin infrared filter, thinner than a piece of cling wrap, that could be integrated into everyday eyewear.

Traditional night vision devices are often bulky and heavy, limiting their use to specific professions like the military and wildlife photography. However, this new filter, weighing less than a gram, could be incorporated into regular glasses, allowing users to see both visible and infrared light simultaneously. Read more here.

Engineers Studying One-Dimensional Materials Discover the World's Thinnest Wire - The Debrief, June 12, 2024

Researchers from Switzerland’s École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) that simulated thousands of possible one-dimensional materials say they have stumbled upon what may be the thinnest metallic wire ever discovered. One-dimensional materials like carbon nanotubes, which are built by stringing individual atoms together in a chain, are coveted for their unique and often unusual electrical, magnetic, and optical properties.

The researchers behind this particular one-dimensional (1-D) material, which is assembled by alternating two carbon atoms and one copper atom, say their newly designed wire may be the thinnest metallic nanowire ever created that can also remain stable at 0 degrees Kelvin. If the simulated wire can be fabricated, the researchers believe it could find numerous applications in future downscaled electronic components. Read more here.

'We're All Plastic People Now': A Groundbreaking Documentary - Mercola, May 25, 2024

A plastic straw, a bottle of water, a plastic bag from the grocery, these single-use plastics seem so innocuous that people barely give them a second thought before tossing them out. Unfortunately, the development of this throwaway culture has contributed to the mounting burden of plastic waste that threatens the environment, wildlife and our very own bodies.

Discarded plastics are made primarily from petrochemicals1 and degrade into microscopic fragments called microplastics, which lurk everywhere, from the depths of our oceans to the food we eat and the air we breathe. It’s a sobering reality underscored by the Emmy Award-winning documentary featured above, “We’re All Plastic People Now.” Watch here.

Louisiana’s Air Has Toxic Gas Levels ‘More Than a Thousand Times Higher’ Than the Safe Limit - Fast Company, June 12, 2024

The toxic gas ethylene oxide (EtO) is detectable in southeastern Louisiana at levels a thousand times higher than what is considered safe, according to a new study.

EtO emissions largely come from petrochemical manufacturing, and southeastern Louisiana has a high density of facilities that use or manufacture petrochemicals. Long-term exposure has been linked to cancer, particularly for people living near facilities that manufacture EtO or work with it. Concerning levels were found up to 6 miles downwind from factories, according to the report. EtO is so toxic that dangerous levels for long-term exposure start at 11 parts per trillion, the researchers noted in a report published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.

FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN TAKEDOWN: Over 4 Million Chickens to be Slaughtered After Bird Flu Detected at Egg Farm - Natural News, May 31, 2024

“More than 4 million chickens in Iowa will have to be killed after a case of the highly pathogenic bird flu was detected at a large egg farm, the state announced,” the Associated Press reports.

The news follows reports of the slaughter of about 1.4 million chickens at an egg farm near Minneapolis, Minnesota. The virus was confirmed at an egg farm west of Minneapolis, Minnesota, leading to the slaughter of nearly 1.4 million chickens.

With the culling of millions of chickens, expect egg prices to soon skyrocket. Overall, 92.34 million birds have been killed since the outbreak began in 2022, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Although bird flu has become somewhat common among poultry, its spread to cattle has added to worries about the disease. In May, a second dairy farmworker was diagnosed with bird flu, and the virus was detected in both beef and milk. It has been confirmed on dairy cattle farms in nine states. Read more here.

Is Ukraine Going Rogue Or Did It Attack Russia's Early Warning Systems With American Approval? - ZeroHedge, June 2, 2024

Russian-US relations deteriorated further than ever in late May as a result of three developments. First, the US set the ball rolling by more openly allowing Ukraine to use its arms to strike targets inside of Russia, then Poland said that the US will hit all of Russia’s forces in the special operation zone if Moscow uses nukes, and finally, President Putin signaled that he expects NATO to majorly escalate the conflict by sometime this summer. All of this is bad enough, but it’s made even worse by what Ukraine just did.

Russia confirmed that Ukraine hit at least one of its early nuclear warning systems, while Kiev claims to have targeted a second one deeper inside its opponent’s hinterland that hasn’t (yet?) been confirmed. These structures detect incoming intercontinental ballistic missiles of the sort that could be launched by the US in the scenario of a first strike, thus enabling Russia to prepare for an inevitable second strike. They have nothing to do with the Ukrainian Conflict and everything to do with strategic stability. More here.

The CIA’s Covert Plan to Deploy an Army of Super Spies With Psychic Powers to Uncover Enemy Secrets - Popular Mechanics, June 13, 2024

Any weapon or intelligence tool developed under the “Stargate” program would be too valuable and too dangerous for public release.

In 1972, American Artist and Psychic Ingo Swann altered the magnetic field inside a thickly shielded vacuum container located underground for several seconds by simply thinking about it. As Harold Puthoff, a physicist with the Stanford Research Institute, witnessed the output from his magnetometer changing, he was mind-blown. There was no physical explanation for the reading changing the way it did. And as soon as Puthoff asked Swann to stop thinking about the apparatus, the unexplained changes in the magnetic field abruptly stopped. Read what the CIA did here.

Cognitive Warfare, Mental Manipulation and the Tyranny of Digital Transformation - SOTT, June 1, 2024

A centuries-old plan to control humanity on a micro-level is being enforced through the construction of a new bio-digital prison system. Relegated to mere conspiracy theory by legacy media and vehemently denied by accused conspirators, the plan continues unabated with only pockets of resistance — nowhere near enough to bring the house of cards down.

The plan has been identified by many throughout the decades. It is both simple and complex; subtle yet overt; ancient yet contemporary; and alluring yet appalling. Under the guise of safety, convenience, and inclusion, humanity is being primed to accept complete and total surveillance as a condition of simple existence in a "brave new world." That's the plan in a nutshell. What follows are the gory details. Read more here.

UK Requires Residents to Register Chickens: War on Farming - Armstrong Economics, June 14, 2024

The Great Reset requires those in power to usurp our ability to farm and cultivate our own food. What better way to control the masses than to have complete control on their ability to survive. The World Economic Forum has proposed a ban on farming, a ban on gardening, and bans on any attempt to live off the land that already provides us with all we need as humans. Nations are slowly implementing laws to restrict our access to food. In the UK, anyone owning a chicken must register with government.

Beginning in the fall of 2024, anyone in the UK who owns a single chicken in England and Wales will be required to register their bird before October 1, 2024. Those in Scotland have until September 1, 2024, to register. The previous law required anyone with 50 or more birds to register, but the government now wants to know who may have access to eggs and meat. Poultry keepers must renew their registration every 12 months. Read more here,

What is Social Health? The Little-Known Idea That Could Make All The Difference - The Guardian, June 14, 2024

What do you do to be healthy? Let’s say you follow the advice of doctors, health blogs, and wellness influencers perfectly. You walk 10,000 steps a day. You get eight hours of quality sleep at night. You eat plenty of fresh vegetables and avoid processed foods. You work through challenges with a therapist. You meditate and take hot baths for self-care. Your physical and mental health improve as a result – but only up to a point.

The problem with traditional health advice is that it overlooks one of the most important ingredients: human connection. You can’t be fully healthy if you don’t have a name to write down as your emergency contact. If you don’t see family except for a few hours over the holidays. If you lack close friends to share experiences with. Or if you don’t have enough alone time to reconnect with yourself.

You value your romantic and platonic relationships, but do you know they determine how long you live? When you spend time with family or friends, invite a co-worker to lunch, or strike up a conversation with a neighbor, do you realize the interaction influences whether or not you – and they – will develop heart disease, diabetes, depression, or dementia? Health is not only physical or mental. Health is also social. Read more here.

First Wooden Satellite Breaks New Ground in Sustainable Space Exploration. Are Wooden Space Shelters Next? - The Debrief, June 14, 2024

In May 2023, researchers at Kyoto University and the Japanese-based wood manufacturing company Sumitomo Forestry unveiled the world’s first wooden satellite, breaking new ground in space technology.

Called the LignoSat, this small cube (around 10 centimeters, or 3 inches) contains solar panels and circuit boards built into its wooden sides. These panels contain special fittings that don’t require adhesive but allow the sides to interlock into place using traditional Japanese wood-carving techniques. The project began slowly in 2020. Since its unveiling, the satellite has been transferred from its research facility to JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), where it will undergo further durability testing before being transferred to the ISS in September 2024. LignoSat will then be launched into orbit in November. Read more here.

The WHO’s Bird Flu Blunder: A Planned Accident - Experimental Vaccines, June 10, 2024

The World Health Organization, also known as the WHO, is more than just an international public health body. Like the owl symbol of the New World Order, the WHO represents hidden surveillance and control over global health narratives.

Unelected officials run this organization, wielding power that surpasses our constitutional rights. They dictate legislation, enforcing health mandates that often go unquestioned. This recent misinformation about the bird flu death in Mexico is a prime example of their unchecked authority. They claimed the man’s death was due to H5N2, spreading unnecessary panic. It’s a deliberate move, reminiscent of their tactics during the COVID-19 pandemic. By labeling every death as COVID-related, they controlled the narrative and kept the population in a state of fear and compliance. This is not a mistake; it is a calculated strategy to undermine our freedoms. More here.

She Was Pronounced Dead: Then They Found Her Gasping for Air in a Body Bag - Popular Mechanics, June 10, 2024
