There are far more vaccine-damaged children in America than chemical weapons-damaged children

in Syria

By now, you are surely aware that the U.S. war machine, under President Donald J. Trump,

has launched cruise missiles against the Syrian government. The emotionally-charged justification

for all this is that �beautiful babies� were being killed by chemical weapons. While

the pro-war factions of the establishment elite are celebrating the missile strike,

virtually the entire independent media is convinced that the �chemical attack� narrative

is little more than a convenient false flag to justify �regime replacement� activities

desired by America�s deep state. Even Ron Paul and Paul Craig Roberts have both asserted

this.

President Trump�s explanation for the attack included these words:

Assad choked out the lives of innocent men, women and children. It was a slow and brutal

death for so many. Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack.

No child of god should ever suffer such horror.

If you replace the word �Assad� with �CDC� or �the vaccine industry,� it all makes

even more sense. Vastly higher numbers of children right here in America have been �cruelly

murdered� in the �barbaric attack� of toxic vaccines than have ever been killed

by chemical weapons in Syria.

I agree with the President that �No child of God should ever suffer such horror,�

but I wonder when this President will start working to stop the chemical assault on America�s

children that�s being waged every day by the vaccine industry.

Mercury in vaccines is a state-sponsored CHEMICAL WEAPON that�s used against America�s children

every day

No chemical weapon should ever be deployed against any child: Not VX Nerve Gas, not Sarin

Gas and not toxic, brain-damaging mercury. The destruction of biological tissue with

devastating effect is accomplished by all three of those substances (and many more,

including glyphosate herbicide). Yet mercury is the only chemical weapon that�s deliberately

INJECTED into children with devastating effect. You might even call mercury a �biological

cruise missile� attack on brain tissue.

On the science side, there�s no question whatsoever that mercury is extremely toxic

to human neurology. Even the CDC�s own research has conclusively proven that mercury in vaccines

is toxic to children. As I wrote in a Natural News article earlier this year, entitled Health

Ranger exposes chemical violence of mercury vaccines: The �war on children� must be

stopped:

The CDC is a criminal operation that preys upon innocent children using fraudulent science.

The �Vaccine Holocaust,� as it is sometimes called, is a deliberate and widespread assault

on children using chemical violence. This war on children must be brought to an end

in the name of compassion, sanity and legitimate science (not the fraudulent corporate science

pushed by vaccine companies and the corrupt CDC).

Right now, mercury is still used in vaccines given to children and expectant mothers in

the United States. This practice is barbaric, highly unethical and stands in horrific opposition

to all the known science on the neurotoxicity of mercury. Those engaged in the continued

pushing of mercury vaccines onto children are knowingly taking part in the most gruesome

and dishonest medical science cover-up in the history of our world. It is time that

parents, citizens, independent scientists and compassionate protectors of life took

a stand against the child poisoners who are pushing mercury vaccines that cause permanent

neurological disorders in children (including autism in some children).

This is why I continue to remind America that Vaccine Injury Denialism is the denial of

fundamental human dignity.

If Assad is evil for using chemical weapons against Syrian children, why is the CDC not

evil for using state-sponsored chemical weapons against America�s children?

If the test for whether an institution is �evil� is based on whether it deliberately

uses chemical weapons against children, then the United States government itself � and

the CDC in particular � is vastly more guilty of evil than Assad could ever achieve. The

number of children damaged by state-sponsored vaccine violence in the United States is staggering.

It�s a number so large that the lawsuits from families of damaged children would have

wiped out the entire vaccine industry if not for an act of Congress that granted the vaccine

industry absolute legal immunity for all chemical weapons deployed against children via immunizations.

The CDC has already confirmed that vaccines given to children in America are deliberately

manufactured with numerous brain-damaging ingredients, including aluminum, mercury,

monosodium glutamate and formaldehyde. In addition, vaccine excipients that may cause

permanent brain damage through a heightened inflammatory response include squalene, a

chemical that�s already causing a rapid rise in extremely dangerous peanut allergies

among America�s children. The CDC has confirmed that vaccines are also routinely made with

African Green Monkey kidney cells and aborted human fetal tissue sourced from abortion clinics.

Popular TV propaganda pushers like Jimmy Kimmel openly make fun of those who want to save

children from toxic vaccine �chemical weapons� ingredients. He might as well just be making

fun of the children in Syria who are damaged by chemical weapons. This is how pop culture

demonizes those like myself who seek to protect children from chemical weapons. Would Jimmy

Kimmel dare insult the parents of Syrian children who were damaged by chemical weapons the same

way he insults the parents of American children damaged by vaccines?

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.: �Thimerosal causes serious brain damage�

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has published an exhaustive scientific review of the toxicity of mercury

in vaccines, and you can read some of the most powerful excerpts from his book at this

article link. Kennedy�s opening paragraphs in the book explain why mercury is such a

dangerous chemical in vaccines:

There is a broad consensus among research scientists that Thimerosal is a dangerous

neurotoxin that should be immediately removed from medicines. Several hundred peer-reviewed

scientific publications by the world�s leading research scientists, public health agencies,

universities, and teaching hospitals have confirmed that Thimerosal is a potent neurotoxin

that has never been proven safe for medical use and for which cost-effective alternatives

exist.

Indeed, the evidence of Thimerosal�s neurotoxicity is so overwhelming and the lack of any safety

data so complete that anyone who is willing to read science and who believes in the capacity

for scientific methods to determine empirical truths must conclude that Thimerosal causes

serious brain damage.

American children are sacrificed to the vaccine industry while Syrian children are protected

with Tomahawk missile strikes?

If the only justification needed for launching Tomahawk missiles is the broadcasting of pictures

of horrifically damaged children, then where is the outcry against the CDC and the vaccine

industry? Surely the lives of American children are worth protecting against chemical weapons,

too, right?

With a single signature, President Trump could order the CDC and FDA to outlaw brain-damaging

neurotoxins in vaccines and end the chemical assault on America�s children by the vaccine

industry. (No missiles or explosions required.)

So why hasn�t he done that yet? And how many more American children must be sacrificed

to the vaccine industry before Trump will take decisive action to protect American children,

not just the children of foreign nations?

The upcoming documentary series The Truth About Vaccines is about to explode onto the

scene with even more shocking details about how vaccines are, indeed, a form of �state-sponsored

chemical weapons� being deployed against America�s children right now.

Feeling Negative Emotions As A Portal To Ascension - Duration: 6:01.

Feeling Negative Emotions As A Portal To Ascension

by Raphael Awen,

Until we surrender to our feelings, we are stuck in a stasis.

It has been said that our emotions are our e-motions, or our �energy in motion�.

If life is anything, on whatever level you wish to look at it, be it physical, spiritual,

metaphysical, micro, macro,�.all of it is energy in motion.

And what you are feeling right now is energy moving through the energy-in-motion that YOU

are.

You are reading this seeking something.

That is desire, want, seeking, moving through you.

E-motive-ly.

This is your motive for being.

People have long advised and devised multitudinous ways to overcome our feelings, reprogram our

feelings, numb our feelings, but what we have failed to see in every one of these proposed

solutions to our feelings is that the solution is proposing another feeling overlay to the

one deemed unwanted.

We�re left with a inner war of feelings where one part of us in our psyche seeks to

maintain dominance and control over another part of ourselves.

This controlling part is then essentially running our lives, living our life as us.

And gratefully so, some �one� needs to look after life, until a new arising authentic

us can show up to the relief of all involved.

Why we�ve worked so hard collectively to suppress and demonize (in many cases literally)

our feelings is up for ongoing discovery, but for me, what feels so apparent is that

it has been a way and a strategy for us to regulate the pace of our growth to what for

most is a snail�s pace, or even a reverse direction, born out of the very real fear

of our own bigness.

Our feelings are the portal to our own greatness and the doorway out of our stasis into the

infinity of love that we actually are.

Am I saying that feelings of depression or anxiety or rage are this portal to more?

What about something so debilitating as shame, or the related inner critic?

Are these emotions moving through me somehow a portal to my deeper essence?

�Why,� you may say, �I�ve always perceived these dark emotions as the barrier to my arising,

not any portal to my ongoing awakening.�

I so get that.

I too lived in that domain most of my life.

What I want to offer you and offer you deeply is a �what if?� question to feel and see

where it takes you.

Here goes:

�What if what you�ve related to as your negative emotions are actually the portal

to more and more of your authentic-self arising to lead and flow in life?�

This what-if question (and its quest) could go on and on, worded in so many ways, but

you get and feel the tone of it.

I know you do�I can feel you do, or these words wouldn�t be holding you right now.

Wow, if this question is pointing you where I think it is, then there is no such thing

as a negative (negating) emotion.

There is only invitation into what is, to more of the all that you are, that is awaiting

you.

Why would any one of us be okay with leaving a part of us behind!?

Of course, I so get and feel the resistance we�ve all worked so hard at to keep our

emotional worlds from infecting our self image togetherness.

We, men more so, but women too, have relegated the emotional body to the insubstantial, to

the meaningless, to the powerless, when in actuality, it is the essence of what we are.

And we don�t get to embrace our essence any other way, but by going inward to all

that we are, getting to know and feel who stands at the door of our hearts that we previously

feared, but now open out to in genuine curiosity and love.

Now we finally cease demanding that some one else takes care of us in the multitude of

ways we can do just that bass in a medicative relationship to all of life, and we begin

instead taking care of ourselves in an ever deepening way beyond what we�ve ever known

or imagined.

In SoulFullHeart, we take seriously each arising part of us and get to know and feel them intimately

without judgment toward their charge and strategies, but instead open out to feeling why they are

the way they are, and why they feel what they do, with all the time and process needed,

with tears of gratitude for all they held in our absence.

My truth is that only as this kind of rigorous self-differentiation process, recognizing

the emotional body, grounded in our everyday life and relationships unfolds for us, can

we genuinely trust that our draw to spiritual practices are not simply another drug of medication

to numb and keep unfelt emotional pain at bay.

If we have not embraced the emotional body, our seeking of Ascension or �raising our

frequency� becomes very suspect as simply a way to transcend our essence as a human

being.

That may work for a part of you, but is it enough for you?

How much richer and fuller could your Ascension awakening be if no part of you gets left behind,

allowing all of your energy in motion to fully flow into

the infinite magic and wonder of life?

Discuss: Is General Motors' Policy on DC Quick Charging Slowing Chevrolet Bolt EV Adoption Rates? - Duration: 6:05.

It's the world's first long-range electric car costing under forty thousand U.S. dollars,

can travel upwards of two hundred and thirty-eight miles on a charge (more than three hundred

if you're good with your right foot), and is on sale now in certain U.S. markets and

South Korea.

But while the Chevrolet Bolt EV deserves a place in the history books when it comes to

range versus price, this five-seat compact electric car isn't selling as well as some

had hoped.

What's more, it's being outsold by the older, cheaper, less capable Nissan LEAF.

So is the Chevrolet Bolt just not priced right?

Is Nissan undercutting the Bolt EV so much that people are going for the shorter-range

LEAF instead?

Or is General Motor's lack of interest in charging networks hampering the rollout of

this influential plug-in car?

I think it's the latter -- and I'll tell you why next.

Hi there everyone!

It's Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield from Transport Evolved, and today I'm here to discuss why

I think sales of the Chevrolet Bolt EV are being hampered due to a lack of decent DC

quick charging infrastructure across the U.S. -- and why GM's lack of interest in supporting

public charging infrastructure, along with its policy of charging extra for DC quick

charging capabilities on the Bolt EV -- is not helping.

Launched at the tail end of last year, the Chevrolet Bolt EV was the first all-electric

car to go on sale with a price tag of less than forty-thousand U.S. dollars and a real-world

range in excess of two hundred and thirty-eight miles per charge.

And after a good month of sales in January, when GM managed a decent number of sales in

the launch markets of California and Oregon, sales during February and March have been

well… a little flaccid.

Worse still, the Bolt EV has been outsold by the 107-mile Nissan LEAF, which, ahead

of the debut of the next-generation LEAF this fall, has been heavily discounted by dealerships

looking to get rid of existing inventory.

But while some point to LEAF discounts as the reason why the Bolt EV is not selling

as well, and others -- including me -- have reminded folks that the Bolt EV is still only

available in parts of the U.S. while the LEAF is available nationwide -- I'm starting

to think that the issue for slow sales lies elsewhere.

Namely, the lack of decent CCS DC quick charging infrastructure, and the lack of interest the

GM has in helping expand DC quick charging.

And the fact that GM charges seven hundred and fifty dollars extra if you want a Bolt

EV that can use a CCS quick charging station.

Right now, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, there are some one thousand and

fifty eight charging locations across the U.S. that offer CCS DC quick charging.

That's the standard used by the Chevrolet Bolt EV.

There are one thousand five hundred and thirty charging locations that can make use of the

CHAdeMO DC quick charging standard used by the Nissan LEAF.

And if you're interested, there are three hundred and fifty-two Tesla Supercharger locations

(although each Supercharger site on average has more stalls than either a CHAdeMO or CCS

site).

What does this all mean?

Well, in short, it means there are far less places to charge a CCS-compatible car than

there are CHAdeMO.

And while the Bolt EV can travel a lot further per charge than a current-generation LEAF,

the disparity between the number of charging stations means that many prospective Bolt

EV customers are put off owning one.

Why?

Well, if there are less CCS quick charging stations than CHAdeMO charging stations, the

likelihood of not finding a quick charging station along a specific route or at our destination

is higher if we're driving a CCS-compatible Bolt EV than it might be if we're in a LEAF.

What's more, there's less chance of redundancy -- finding another compatible charging station

within easy reach if things aren't working as they should.

We're creatures of habit.

We don't like going out of our way to recharge and we don't like the idea of being stranded.

If there are few charging stations, even if our car can travel further, we're less likely

to want to own it compared to a model that's better supported.

Now, I'm making massive generalizations here and I should also note that charging

infrastructure for CCS cars is catching up to CHAdeMO, so in the not-too distant future

this shouldn't be a major issue.

Then there's the final issue.

While Nissan, and many other automakers are actively supporting the roll out of DC quick

charging, investing large chunks of cash to help establish a new fuelling infrastructure,

GM has said publicly that it sees infrastructure investment as a job for charging providers

and government, not automakers.

Which means that while GM will sell you a car, it won't help you fuel that car, something

that BMW, Nissan, Volkswagen and other automakers have been doing for a long time.

What's more, these three automakers -- and others -- have been offering customers incentivized

free charging when they buy a new car, lowering the cost of ownership dramatically.

Own a Bolt EV and you're on your own, paying for charging and hoping that you pick the

right charging networks to be a member of.

If charging networks were already well developed and widely available, this wouldn't be an

issue.

But right now, it is.

Do you agree?

Is the Bolt EV losing out because of the charging network policy of GM?

Or is there some other reason?

Why is sitting so bad for us, and what can we do about it? - Duration: 4:06.

Since the dawn of time

we've yearned for more comfortable seating.

We've since perfected the art of sitting

but the problem is that we're now doing it

way too much.

Here are some sobering facts.

On average, Australian adults spend an estimated

five hours a day being sedentary

which basically means sitting still.

Even worse, a quarter of the population are spending

more than eight hours a day on their behinds.

So if you're sedentary for more than 7 hours a day

that's home and work combined

then you could be in trouble.

Even sitting for a bout of 30 minutes at a time

can be bad for your health.

How can sitting be so bad for us?

What if I told you that when you sit

your spine curves

placing stress on your lungs

as well as the muscles and ligaments supporting your spine.

It can also mean reduced blood flow to your limbs

which is why you get pins and needles.

Reduced blood flow is also bad for concentration

with less oxygen meaning slower brain activity.

This all sounds a bit dramatic

but it gets worse.

Sedentary behaviour changes the way your body

processes sugar

and has been associated with cardio-metabolic issues

which is medical speak for heart disease,

diabetes and obesity,

poor mental health and even some cancers.

All of this equals a shortened life span

or reduced quality of life.

But enough doom and gloom.

The good news is that it's an easy fix.

Are you ready?

You just need to break up your sitting habits.

Stand and move about whenever possible.

That's not so scary, is it?

If you sit all day

here are a few ideas to get you moving.

Take the stairs instead of the lift.

This is pretty self-explanatory.

Take the stairs as often as your health permits

and give your mind and body a nice boost

first thing in the morning.

Instead of emailing or calling a colleague

in the same building

walk and talk face-to-face

You don't have to run a marathon.

Walking a few steps to the other end of the office

still gives your muscles a stretch.

Plus, think of how popular you'll be!

If you drive to work

try parking a little further away

and walk some of the way.

While it feels good to get that rock-star park

right in front of work

your body will thank you for that extra

10 minutes on your feet each morning and afternoon.

If you catch public transport

try standing up for some or all of the trip

Buses and trains aren't always fun

but you can make the morning commute a bit more bearable

knowing that your health is improving.

Staying balanced means constantly shifting your weight

which gets the blood flowing.

Just hold on tight!

Ask your boss for a standing workstation

This is often a tough ask for an employer

but standing workstations don't need to cost the earth.

Plus the long-term health of workers will mean

more savings to an employer in the long-run.

If a standing desk isn't possible

try standing whenever you're not typing

such as when reading or talking on the phone.

Suggest a standing meeting

or even a walk and talk

rather than a seated meeting.

Meetings can sometimes be a bit of a drain

so turn a negative into a positive.

For bonus points

put the phone on loudspeaker

and walk around the room.

Or even better, if you take a call on your mobile

take a walk while you talk.

Leave your desk at lunch and go for a walk

Try a change of scenery and get your blood pumping

with a brisk walk in the great outdoors.

Some fresh air will also do you the world of good

as you start the count down until home time.

And that's it!

Break up your sitting habits throughout the day

and you're on your way to a healthier mind and body.

Rohinton P. Medhora Introduces CIGI's 'Innovation Series' - Duration: 2:47.

There is concern in the country that we are creating a lot of start-ups

and that there's a lot of buzz and activity and action around ideas.

The critique is that these ideas are not blossoming fully and are not becoming

what in the business are called "unicorns" — that is to say, massive national, if not global, enterprises with a market value that is commensurate.

And the usual example that is given currently is Shopify; a generation ago it would have been RIM/BlackBerry.

This is an issue. It is one of the package of questions that goes with why this series is being designed;

it is one of the package of issues that goes with why productivity has been stagnant in the country.

Productivity was here in 1985.

It then kind of went up, down and all over, but if you pin it again in 2015, it's almost exactly where it was in '85.

Thirty years ago, trade in goods and services is what drove things both nationally and internationally.

Now it is much more ideas, and the statistic that sticks in my mind about this is that a generation ago

the [Standard & Poor's] S&P 500 was primarily comprised of value in tangibles — almost two-thirds, if not more.

Today it's the opposite — the value of firms and the value of intangibles on the S&P 500 is two-thirds and growing.

Invention and innovation now requires a lot of investment, financial investment, it requires a lot of institutional capacity,

and so we recognize that inventors and innovators, whether they're individuals or whether they're firms,

have the right to recoup their costs and in fact benefit from their brainwave.

I hope that this series adds to the very rich discussion we're already having in Canada

on what constitutes innovation and how innovation can connect with prosperity.

We at CIGI hope that this series adds to that discussion, enriches it

and gives us new ways of thinking about something that is going to be key to the future of this country and its prosperity.
