The Vatican will begin requiring employees to get vaccinated or submit to regular coronavirus testing starting this Friday, the city-state announced Tuesday, according to reports.

There is no exemption at the moment and those without proof of vaccination or a negative test will be considered "unjustly absent" and won't be paid, the Washington Post reported.

Pope Francis was vaccinated in January and has advocated for Roman Catholics to get it, calling it a "moral duty."

Comment: Francis again shows his NWO cred.

30 facts you NEED to know: Your Covid Cribsheet

coronavirus
We get a lot of e-mails and private messages along these lines "do you have a source for X?" or "can you point me to mask studies?" or "I know I saw a graph for mortality, but I can't find it anymore". And we understand, it's been a long 18 months, and there are so many statistics and numbers to try and keep straight in your head.

So, to deal with all these requests, we decided to make a bullet-pointed and sourced list for all the key points. A one-stop-shop.

Here are key facts and sources about the alleged "pandemic", that will help you get a grasp on what has happened to the world since January 2020, and help you enlighten any of your friends who might be still trapped in the New Normal fog (click links to skip):

"Covid deaths" - Lockdowns - PCR Tests - "asymptomatic infection" - Ventilators - Masks - Vaccines - Deception & Foreknowledge

Part I: "Covid deaths" & mortality

1. The survival rate of "Covid" is over 99%. Government medical experts went out of their way to underline, from the beginning of the pandemic, that the vast majority of the population are not in any danger from Covid.


Almost all studies on the infection-fatality ratio (IFR) of Covid have returned results between 0.04% and 0.5%. Meaning Covid's survival rate is at least 99.5%.

How a Time Bomb was Set to Usher in a Great Reset (and what to do about it): 1923, 1929 and Today

Months before COVID19 was sprung onto the world, warnings of a "financial Armageddon" and calls for a "global hegemonic synthetic currency" were being made by leading figures running the WEF and Bank of England.

These statements had been made by former and current Bank of England Governors Mark Carney and Mervyn King respectively and should not be ignored as the world sits atop the largest financial bubble in human history reminiscent of the 1929 bubble that was triggered on black Friday in the USA which unleashed a great depression across Europe and America.

Anyone trying to promote the idea that COVID-19 is the cause of the oncoming collapse of the $1.2 quadrillion derivatives time bomb masquerading as a trans Atlantic economic are either misinformed or outright liars. While not much can be done to help the later category, the far more numerous members of humanity who find themselves in the first category must be made aware of this fact, and learn some quick elementary lessons in world history. Fast.

A new study done by Oxford University on September 27, 2021 found that the lifespan of American men has decreased by 2.2 years.
The life expectancy of American men dropped by more than two years during the COVID-19 pandemic, a new study has found.

Oxford University said in the study published Monday that the life expectancy among men fell by 2.2 years in 2020, the largest drop since World War II, according to Reuters.

Life expectancy fell by more than six months compared to 2019 for 22 of the 29 countries analyzed for the study, which included the US and European nations.

Comment: No one will state the obvious: the lockdowns forced thousands with medical conditions to miss vital doctor visits or the mindless fear generated by the media caused many to stay away from their treatments, not to mention the despair caused by the lack of social contact.

Great Barrier Reef experiencing 'record high' levels of coral coverage

great barrier reef
Former JCU Marine Physicist Peter Ridd says the Great Barrier Reef is now experiencing "record high coral cover".

"This is data that's been accumulated over a little while now and it shows ... it's actually at record high coral cover," he told Sky News Australia. "We've got more coral on the Great Barrier Reef now than we did when records began in 1985.

"We've got twice as much coral as we had after huge cyclones went through the reef in about 2011 and 2012, and this record-high coral cover is despite supposedly having three catastrophic unprecedented bleaching events in just the last five years.

"So you've just got to wonder were those bleaching events maybe as catastrophic as these experts supposedly claimed."

Kidnapping, assassination and a London shoot-out: Inside the CIA's secret war plans against WikiLeaks

assange window curtain
In 2017, as Julian Assange began his fifth year holed up in Ecuador's embassy in London, the CIA plotted to kidnap the WikiLeaks founder, spurring heated debate among Trump administration officials over the legality and practicality of such an operation.

Some senior officials inside the CIA and the Trump administration even discussed killing Assange, going so far as to request "sketches" or "options" for how to assassinate him. Discussions over kidnapping or killing Assange occurred "at the highest levels" of the Trump administration, said a former senior counterintelligence official. "There seemed to be no boundaries."

The conversations were part of an unprecedented CIA campaign directed against WikiLeaks and its founder. The agency's multipronged plans also included extensive spying on WikiLeaks associates, sowing discord among the group's members, and stealing their electronic devices.

Lavrov: EU foreign policy head told him to STAY OUT of 'our' Africa, as he denies Moscow's role in mercenaries invited to Mali

With the terrorist-fighting government of Mali in talks with a private Russian military firm, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell told Russia's FM Sergey Lavrov to bluntly stay out of Africa, allegedly calling it "our place."

The modern EU bureaucracy may seem light years away from the rapacious colonial powers of olden Europe, but geopolitics seemingly still reigns in Brussels, with the fight this time over influence in the troubled West African nation of Mali. With Mali's military-ruled government struggling to quell a wave of jihadism, and France on the cusp of withdrawing its forces from the region, the country is now reportedly looking to hire as many as 1,000 private mercenaries from the controversial Russian Wagner Group to bolster its own forces.

The deal led to a wave of condemnation from the West, with officials in the US and Europe viewing it as an effort by Moscow to muscle into African affairs. An American official said on Friday:
"We continue to be concerned about the rise... of malign influences on the continent."
Lavrov has dismissed accusations of Russian government involvement, saying on Saturday at the United Nations General Assembly in New York that the Kremlin had "nothing to do with" the deal, which was negotiated between Mali's government and a "private military contractor."

Tony Blair Says Govt Should Vaccinate Nursery-Age Children

Tony Blair
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has said that the British government should begin vaccinating nursery age children and begin imposing vaccine passports in order to supposedly prevent another lockdown in the winter.

In written comments in the foreword to a coronavirus report from the Tony Blair Institute, which has been attempting to steer decision-making in the United Kingdom and across the world from the outset of the pandemic, the former Prime Minister argued children are becoming a significant source of the spread of the virus.

While the government's Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) did not recommend vaccinating children on health grounds, Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government has decided to push forward with vaccinating children over the age of 12-years-old, even without parental consent in some cases.


Comment: Tony Blair "Institute" has received millions of dollars back in 2018 for advising Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's modernization program under a "not for profit" arrangement. This "institute" enabled so-called "progressive reforms" in Saudi Arabia under which women can get their heads chopped off, even for supporting political protests.

Just follow the money, not the science if you want to see the real face of this harsh reality and all ugly creatures from the swamp which thrive on people's suffering and pain.

40 days to save the planet? Boris' green act is yet another unprincipled U-turn from a serial flip flopper

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson addresses the 76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, Wednesday, Sept. 22, 2021, at U.N. headquarters.
The British prime minister is seeking to fashion himself as a switched-on leader on climate change - but isn't it all just more hot air and bluster from one of the world's biggest confidence tricksters?

Boris Johnson was doing his best Greta Thunberg impression at the United Nations yesterday.

According to BoJo, we have been acting like a 16-year-old and "it's time for humanity to grow up." Interestingly, Greta was only 16 when she told the UN that "you have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words," and yet for some reason, everyone listened to her.

Boris also said that the world has just 40 days "to come to Glasgow to make the commitments necessary" to save the planet. And if we don't, "our grandchildren will know that we are the culprits ... and that we missed our cue, and they will ask what kind of people we were to be so selfish and so short-sighted."

If he carries on making alarmist statements like this, he'll end up gluing himself to the M25 or peppering the City of London with red paint.

The AUKUS issue is not over

Well, then I might as well address it. I am talking about this whole AUKUS affair and France losing huge contact on submarines for Royal Australian Navy. At this stage I am not interested in technical minutiae of this whole scandal, because it is useless anyway to concentrate on technical details of something which may change many times before, and if, it comes to fruition. I am, however, as always, interested in fundamental factors defining the framework. Le Drian and anyone in France' political top can express their frustration and play geopolitical games whatever they want, such as running to India:
On Friday, France recalled its ambassadors from Washington and Canberra after Australia scrapped a major submarine program with France in favor of acquiring nuclear-powered submarines with the help of the US and UK. Paris furiously protested the new arrangement between Australia, the US and UK, known as AUKUS. Le Drian called the ditching of French-Australian submarine program "a stab in the back."
