A great meal isn’t dictated by the recipe or the individual ingredients. Rather the true culinary magic lies in the transformation of the ingredients in conjunction with the delighting of the senses and creating a memorable experience.
As with all transcendent experiences, the key variables are ensuring the optimal set and setting. The Radicle Femmes holiday networking event was no different.
Hosted at the Kissa lounge, nestled in Toronto’s King West neighborhood, this venue is a true retro throwback, anchored by chic velour padded benches and radiating Studio 54 vibes.
From the warm welcome to the immediate buzz and charge in the room, it was evident that this was going to be an engaging and fun night. The Toronto event was the final in a series of holiday networking events, organized by the Marigold Marketing & PR team, with Calgary and Vancouver being host to earlier events. Across the multiple cities, over 200 women and allies assembled to network, collaborate and celebrate women in weed.
The venue had a few activations setup with displays from the event partners, including Jane Dope’s Her.B, Sense & Purpose and OB Consulting. Each attendee was provided with a holiday gift bag, which was stuffed with samples, goodies and educational information from the events partners. The hallmark of any good event is to keep the food coming. The team truly delivered here with a great selection of delicious food and sliders worthy of fighting over.

The beauty of the holiday networking event is that it was a true mixer event. There was no agenda or preset order of operations. Attendees were free to roam, choose your own adventure style. With the mise en place prepared, and the people in place the true magic was unleashed, with new relationships formed, and honest curiosity and passion fueling authentic conversation.
With only one formal announcement for giveaways and to thank the crowd for attending, the focus was to make connections, share and connect. From new graduates to industry veterans, sharing knowledge and fostering collaboration is contagious and inspiring when good people are involved.

I left the event feeling inspired and energized that such amazing women are charging forward and blazing their own trails in the cannabis space. The most apt takeaway is the new meme du jour, Let HER Cook.
Being a smaller player in Canadian cannabis is not for the faint of heart. Alongside the same laundry list of regulations that every other company deals with, as well as the ongoing illicit market, you need to swim in the pond with some very large, very influential fish.
Take Alberta, for example.
Alberta’s cannabis retail market is among the most competitive in Canada, with over 700 licensed stores, the highest per capita in the country. The lion’s share of these sellers belongs to large chains, including Canna Cabana, Value Buds, and Spiritleaf, which collectively own hundreds of retail locations.
There’s nothing unusual about having corporate entities in cannabis or any other sector for that matter. However, various independent cultivators, manufacturers, and retailers feel that these giants are unintentionally but unfairly influencing the flow of products.
“I don’t think [the AGLC] has come to terms with the fact that they’re supplying inventory for the entire province,” said Dan Dowber, Owner of Off The Record Cannabis.
Dowber added that when the AGLC is deciding which products to carry, it seems like they are making choices based on the volume of inventory moving the most, and the retailers moving the most volume are the chains.
Off The Record Cannabis has been able to survive and thrive in a challenging retail landscape because Dowber has chosen to differentiate its inventory with options that corporate stores are known to overlook. “I [want] the best-quality products I can find in any category. I want the very best of the best,” he said. “All these great new products come to market, but the corporate stores won’t carry them because they’re not interested in the product, they’re interested in selling and shareholder value.”
For example, Dowber mentioned a line of rosin gummies manufactured by Rubicon Organics, which are made with “the best inputs you can get,” he said. “We sold a ton of them, and then the AGLC delisted it. They said it wasn’t meeting their criteria, but I sold over 1,200 units in a year.”

The rule of three
Ryan Roch is the owner of Lake City Cannabis with two locations in Alberta. Roch feels that in the province there are three types of retailers.
There are the small business retailers who work with everyone. They are interested in the success of the industry and have no hold-backs in terms of product diversity in their stores.
Then, there are the “basic” retailers, as he puts it, who “move product in and move product out” and they do not care what these products there are. They just sell whatever they can.
“Then you have your large corporate retailers,” said Roch. “Unfortunately there are not many of us left that aren’t large corporate retailers.”
He mentioned High Tide as an example, which has many locations across the province. When they order a case of product to each one of their stores, the product flow-through for those cases is very large. “The AGLC looks at that and will prioritize those [items] for product calls. So we have this inflated data that’s making decisions.”
Roch also highlighted the fact that the AGLC does make efforts to work with small growers to get products in stores, and they also do look at individual products on a case-by-case basis, but the system seemingly needs some tweaking.
“The reality is, prioritization of these products is given inside the system, which holds back smaller companies. The feedback we get from growers is that it’s overall much more difficult and far less profitable to spend time in Alberta.”
Growing pains
To that point, what is the word on the street from craft and micro-growers on this topic?
StratCann spoke with Kevin Cowan, the Operations Manager and QAP at Bud Mountain Aeroponics in Calgary. Although Bud Mountain is a cultivator and processor in Alberta, they have chosen to stay out of their domestic market for the time being.
Cowan pointed out that the apparent prioritization of high-volume products makes it near impossible for smaller growers to keep up with the level of production that qualifies them for retail.
“If they make an order for a PO and you do not fill it, you can be charged for the amount of that PO,” he said. “We wouldn’t be able to supply as fast as AGLC wants for them to want to buy it, in which case we would have to wholesale purchase other cultivators’ product and process it ourselves to fill POs.”

Any suggestions?
Cowan and his fellow growers would like to see a tweaking of the system in Alberta to level the playing field as best as possible. This would include “loosening some of the restrictions” on how cultivators can do business in the province.
He pointed out that in Alberta, he has three checkpoints to get product into the hands of the consumer: the AGLC, the retail store, and finally, the customer. The challenge is that Cowan only has control of the product until it goes to the AGLC. “We’ll have people who want our cannabis but we have to hope that a cannabis store that’s near them buys it from [the province].”
Cowan cited the Saskatchewan model as something that has worked well for them. “You can go there as a federally licensed producer such as ourselves. Then, after the SLGA has approved us, we are able to sell directly to the stores there, or we have the option to sell it to one of the distributors they have there.”
Cowan concluded by saying that looking at the number of Albertan companies and micro-growers that have failed despite doing everything right on paper, he sees a clear indication that there is something wrong in this market.
What does the AGLC have to say?
StratCann reached out to the AGLC for their comments on the issue.
“Alberta has a wide range of products available for retailers and consumers. Currently, AGLC works with 142 licensed producers of all sizes, of which 38 are from Alberta, and from these LPs we offer over 1,300 unique products,” said Karin Campbell, spokesperson for the AGLC.
Campbell added that Alberta retailers can partner with LPs to private-label products that are exclusive to their stores.
“Additionally, AGLC continuously reviews our cannabis product listings in order to streamline our supply chain, manage inventory, and ensure retailers and Albertans have access to a variety of quality cannabis products.”
“In this interview Vandana Rateria and John Coleman sit down to discuss the recent collaboration of EJ Classes and Apocatastasis Institute, and the innovative way Vandana teaches mathematics using the ancient abacus tool. Training students to actually learn math, as opposed to using calculators as a crutch, EJ students soon learn how to easily compute problems in their heads.”
“A proud product of public education, John Coleman received his undergraduate degree in history from Western Connecticut State University. Alas, that was to be the end of his flattering academic titles. Unwilling to once again become a debt slave to usurers, his graduate studies were scotched at the half-way point. John wasted over a decade of his professional life attempting to establish a high school for a community who took neither themselves nor their worldview seriously. Burned by these unseemly experiences, on Holy Saturday of 2013 Apocatastasis Institute was founded.“
As we approach the new year of 2025, we face the prospect of old themes remerging. At such times, it is wise to revisit old patterns to prevent similar consequences.
After experiencing the implementation of illegal mandates in 2020-2022, are we prepared to avoid them when they are reintroduced?
As we have touched on this subject before, going back to 2017, and 2020, let us remember why the Constitution cannot protect freedom, nor can it protect the violation of inherent rights.
Revisiting 2020
Rudy and Peter Skitterians from Pixabay” width=”360″ height=”245″>How did free people confront illegal universal vaccine mandates in the year 2020?
Vaccine mandates had been quietly made into laws and orders around the world well before the Coronavirus Pandemic began. Statutes were instituted to harmonize with International U.N. Treaty laws to capture city-by-city, and country-by-country while the people slept:
The United Nations (U.N.) Global Plan had been for compulsory vaccination to expand its reach to all humans, even after the status of COVID-19, had been downgraded in the UK (March 2020). Over the years, movies and TV themes promoted the jabs. By 2020, the concept of compulsory vaccination was in the human psyche.
The Planned 2020 Pandemic
I would love to be able to bring back our country into a great form of unity. Without a major event where people pull together, that’s hard to do. But I would like to do it without that major event because usually that major event is not a good thing.—President Trump, January 30, 2018.
September 2019: Experts recently have warned that the nation’s health system isn’t prepared for a pandemic. The president’s Council of Economic Advisers on Thursday estimated the economic damage caused by a pandemic could range from $413 billion to $3.79 trillion, resulting in more than half a million deaths and up to 4.3 million hospitalizations.
Event 201, held, October 2019, by the United Nations and the Gates Foundation, simulated a pandemic from a viral threat. By all estimates, experts were indeed prepared. But the people were not.
Freedom isn’t free. Health Freedom = choice + responsibility. Take away one or the other – choice or responsibility – and you have neither health nor freedom. Freedom requires the ability to discern when you are not free.
The opposite of freedom is slavery (People = Property). When the government tells you that you must obey, they count on your ignorance of the law: the Constitution, and especially the Declaration of Independence.
The Declaration of Independence
Officials often refer to the Constitution when arguing for greater restrictions and less freedom. Why?
Because, hidden in the language of the Constitution is the word “Property.” People = Property = slavery. The Constitution does not specifically mention slavery, because it was an accepted practice of the time.
Slavery is seen in the Constitution in a few key places (the Enumeration Clause, Article 1, Section 9, and the Fugitive Slave Clause). Despite the freedoms reserved in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, slavery was not only tolerated in the Constitution, but it was codified. Today, under the false shield of the U.S. Constitution, individuals have no protections and no rights. The Constitution of 1787 is, thus, the “slave-holder’s Constitution.” The American Civil war changed that.
Or did it?
Does the Constitution, as a legal document, enforce the continued enslavement of all people, long after racial slavery was outlawed? Is the Constitution pro-slavery propaganda? What about the Declaration of Independence?
The Declaration is key. It does not contain the word Property. In 1776, Thomas Jefferson changed the phrasing of John Locke’s trinity of “Life, Liberty, and Property” by replacing “property” with “the pursuit of happiness,” even though Jefferson’s own “property” included about two hundred human beings whom he prevented from pursuing their own happiness. Jefferson referred to racial slavery as like “holding a wolf by its ears – you didn’t like it, but you dared not let go.” The Constitution itself reflects this in its 3/5ths clause and fugitive slave clause.
Civil War Connection
The Civil War was fought to codify the Declaration into law. Prior to the Civil War, the Declaration had no legal weight. The Northern and Southern Territories each had their own Constitutions. However after the formal surrender of the Confederacy, at Appomattox Courthouse, the official end of the Civil War codified the Declaration to become law. The outcome of the Civil War was that only racial slavery ended. i.e., “All Men Are Created Equal.”
After the Civil War, the only thing standing in the way of a Slave State was the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration is the only place where the mention of “God” (secular) in “law” is found. It is the only Charter that declares plainly, “All ‘men’ are created equal.”
Sammis Reachers from Pixabay” width=”372″ height=”279″>
Lincoln reiterated equality in his Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863, when he said, “Four score and seven years ago….. this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Four score and seven years ago is the date of July 4th 1776, the DECLARATION —NOT the (slave-holder’s) Constitution of September 17, 1787.
This was no accident. Lincoln could have easily made reference to the Constitution, since after all, he was an attorney and the President of the United States.
Without The Declaration of Independence, “slavery” is still legal under the Constitution, only racial slavery is illegal. After the Civil War, and with the onset of the Industrial Revolution, whites saw their future. They foresaw that ex-slave labor would displace white labor in the territories, thus ALL people needed to be slaves. To those in power, the issue of the Civil War was not one of race but of pure economics.
Privileges Vs. Rights
The result is that, today, everybody is a slave. Privileges replace rights under the cover of democracy and freedom. Thus, under government rights, no one has rights – only the perception of having rights. Rights are not gifts from government. If you disagree, ask yourself the following:
Why must people request exemptions pertaining to vaccines (medical, religious or moral/philosophical/personal belief type) or “opt out” unless government has de facto rights over your body?
Why are peaceful protests shut down during “emergencies” if the First Amendment protects free speech?
Why is social media censored?
Why? Because People = Property.
If the state has the power to grant a privilege, the state can also remove said privilege. By asking permission to ‘opt out’ from any mandate issued by the state, you inadvertently grant the government de facto authority over your body.
1866; The Year That Reestablished Slavery
In 1866, two events took place to reestablish slavery for all:
The 14th amendment was “ratified” by Executive Order in 1866 and never signed by the President. This represents a color-of-law fraud used by the government and the courts to hold power over the people [Google 14th amendment Trojan horse].
case law ensured that the Declaration would not stand for freedom. In Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Companythe Supreme Court held that the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution granted corporations rights above persons. By virtue of the phrase obiter dictum – “by the way”- freedom and the Declaration were legally upended.
Economic slavery was made legal and expanded by Santa Clara et. seq. under the 14th Amendment which became effective in 1866. Later rulings (Citizens United v. FEC; Bush v. Gore) reinforced this. The result is that People = Property. Inherent rights go unrecognized. Only State-granted privileges are recognized. In re: Bush v. Gore, the majority opinion echoed that the “average citizen” has no constitutional right to elect the POTUS and that this Right rests firmly with the Electors.
The Vax Narrative
Wilfried Pohnke from Pixabay” width=”415″ height=”293″>Freedom is lost by stealth when individuals give up responsibility and unknowingly become victims. Even before laws are written, “experts” are chosen to reinforce a narrative. For the Vaccine Agenda, there was Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of the University of California, Irvine school of law and adviser to California SB 277, a California law that removed personal belief as a reason for an exemption from the vaccination.
“There is no doubt that compulsory vaccination is constitutional. In 1905, in Jacobson v. Massachusetts, the Supreme Court held that state compulsory vaccination laws are constitutional when they are “necessary for the public health or the public safety.”
“In 1990, in Employment Division v. Smith, the Court held that the Free Exercise Clause cannot be used to challenge a neutral law of general applicability.”
“the profound public health threat posed by refusing vaccinations.”
“Therefore, there is no basis for a First Amendment challenge to compulsory vaccination laws.”
Earlier, in his February 2015 Op-Ed article in the Orange County Register, Professor Chemerinsky wrote, “As a matter of constitutional law, parents have no right to not vaccinate their children. However, the government has a compelling interest in stopping the spread of communicable diseases.” He proclaimed that state law allows for police power to enforce obligatory vaccine laws. Professor Chemerinsky believes the Constitution holds no weight as a tool of freedom. He is averse to the Declaration. His views reflect Postmodernism.
Postmodernism & Scientism
Postmodernism = modernism without the optimism.
If you convince everyone that they’re a victim, they’ll start acting like victims. Postmodernists rule above the law, with no morality, no accountability, and no responsibility. To their mindset, everyone is a slave, though some slaves are above other slaves. Postmodernist recognize no “God” – defined as that power above mortal men and universal. The Declaration of Independence refers to “God” as “natural law or nature’s law, unalienable…and the Creator.”
The Postmodernist dogma says that mortals are gods and that their power to rule over lesser gods is absolute. All “men” are not created equal – some are gods, above the law, with no moral compass, only Agendas.
Postmodernists misuse science to distract from the discussion of power and freedom. They claim science forms the basis of absolute truth about man and the universe. This is Scientism – the fusion of religion & science. Scientism elevates scientists to the level of priesthood. In Scientism discourse the use of “beliefs” (subjective) replace verifiable evidence (objective).
Scientism rejects any inquiry that does not agree with its agenda. This mindset is embedded in Darwinism (man originating from beast – not God or in his image — thus can be treated as beast) and believes there is no God (agnostic) for without God (pursuant to the Declaration of Independence) there can be no rights. Therefore, Scientism is a PsyOps exercise designed to distract people’s attention away from real truths and solutions, substituting in their place, a rationalization based upon beliefs instead of verifiable evidence.
Scientism is the narrative put forward by any “independent” Task Force on Community Preventive Services appointed by the Centers For Disease Prevention and Control (CDC). The Task Force fulfills a role of providing “disclosure” though its documents, such as one entitled, Vaccination Mandates: The Public Health Imperative and Individual Rights to reiterate that the “The constitutional basis of vaccination requirements rests in the police power of the state.” (Emphasis added).
Scientism predicts the future: “The police power is the authority reserved to the states by the Constitution and embraces “such reasonable regulations established directly by legislative enactment as will protect the public health and the public safety” (197 U.S. at 25, 25 S.Ct. at 361).
Professor Chemerinsky and others find legal fodder against religious exemption from another Constitutionalist, Supreme Court’s Justice Antonin Scalia who wrote his 1997 opinion in City of Boerne v. Flores:
the right of free exercise does not relieve an individual of the obligation to comply with a ‘valid and neutral law of general applicability on the ground that the law proscribes (or prescribes) conduct that his religion prescribes (or proscribes).’
Scalia stressed that it should be the political, not judicial process, that provides for exemptions in laws to protect religious beliefs. While the Court defers to the State for religious freedoms, and the State defers to Scientism to keep the herd distracted, freedom and rights get lost in the shuffle.
Freedom Is Individual
Freedom in the legal sense is still found through the Declaration of Independence, though it now must be codified into law. In our current system, if anyone is to claim his power to refuse vaccines, or parent a child without government interference, then this document must be reinstated in its rightful place. Without the Declaration, “Constitutional rights” are abolished.
True freedom is knowing Private Property belongs to the individual. You own your body. Freedom is not found in any document or court, not in any group or herd. Freedom is embodied as a state of mind and a way of being. Freedom lives under Nature’s law, created by nature’s God. This is why God matters in the secular context, not a religious one. Note: all NATO countries promote war for a Globalist Agenda. They are Freemason monarchies, except the EU run by the British (City of London). While Russia and Syria recognize the secular God, they also appear to be part of a globalist agenda.
Nature’s law guarantees the power of the Individual and the right to private property, the Self. No one is above Nature’s law. Nature has her own legal argument:
The laws of nature are the laws of God, whose authority can be superseded by no power on earth. A legislature must not obstruct our obedience to him from whose punishments they cannot protect us. All human constitutions which contradict his cannot protect us. All human constitutions which contradict his (God’s) laws, we are in conscience bound to disobey. 1772, Robin v. Hardaway, 1 Jefferson 109.
Contradictions & Inconsistencies
Man’s laws (case law) are traps that lead to tyranny. They enforce the Master-Slave dynamic because they are written by a few men with an agenda. They retain the narrative as long as slaves give consent and ask for permission from Masters. Masters are fallible. Chemerinsky’s flawed science reads:
…robust evidence lends strong support to our argument that vaccinations are essential to save children’s lives. But compulsory vaccinations also are crucial to protect those who cannot be vaccinated, such as infants, and those for whom vaccinations are medically inadvisable, such as those with compromised immune systems. Because there always will be a portion of the population for whom vaccinations will not work, achieving the highest vaccination rates possible for all others remains important.
Rama Krishna Karumanchi from Pixabay” width=”363″ height=”363″>If vaccines are “safe and effective” then shouldn’t the weakest in the community be able to tolerate them? If they are “protective” why did the U.S. Supreme court rule in 2011 that vaccines are “unavoidably unsafe?”
Officials do not believe that any “right” exists outside State “rights,” which are privileges that can be denied as easily as they are granted. Masters are deconstructionists that write laws and change definitions to advance their agenda to abolish Property Rights. Chemerinsky writes:
Simply put, the government’s interest in protecting children and preventing the spread of communicable disease justifies mandatory vaccinations for all children in the United States.
The government’s only true “interest” should be to protect the liberty of the people. Any other interest for “safety” or “security”or “Public Health” is a ruse to take the power of the people away. See The Declaration:
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”
The Ruse of Scientific Consensus
Prior to Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, it was scientific consensus in the South that defined slaves – mostly Africans or Negroes, as scientifically inferior. This consensus formed the foundation that excluded them from any rights guaranteed to others.
Today, nothing has changed.
If the foundation for vaccine rights rests solely and exclusively on scientific arguments, then this is an admission that rights are privileges, based on scientific consensus. No Right was ever granted by scientific consensus and so no science can form the foundation for any abolition of a Right. Science is a moot point when it comes to rights. Arguing the science keeps us slaves when what we seek is the power to make a choice about how we see the science.
Today, as in the past, the Globalist strategy is to control the opposition by becoming the opposition. The Occupy Wall Street movement was hijacked by NGO’s and other Foundations and eliminated. Globalists control both sides of a manufactured ‘divide’ to generate controversy, incite riots, and create turmoil, only to swoop in to quell the chaos and restore order. Order – out of chaos. This is the Hegelian Dialectic of Problem, Reaction, Solution. Experts like Chemerinsky don’t seek to suspend the Constitution, but to abolish it though mandates using the Constitution.
The rights of the individual are not derived from governmental agencies, either municipal, state, or federal, or even from the Constitution. They exist inherently in every man, by endowment of the Creator, and are merely reaffirmed in the Constitution, and restricted only to the extent that they have been voluntarily surrendered by the citizenship to the agencies of government. The people’s rights are not derived from the government, but the government’s authority comes from the people. -City of Dallas, et al. v. Mitchell, 245 S. W. 944, 945-46 (1922).
How to Protect Rights?
Edward Lich from Pixabay” width=”402″ height=”269″>
The true Charter of Freedom on which America was founded is the Declaration of Independence. Abraham Lincoln said slavery was never expressed in the Constitution, but it was implied.
The Declaration of Independence, alone, is the legal foundation for freedom in a corrupt judicial system. The Constitution allows for the continuation of slavery and always will—without the Declaration. How can we maintain our collective survival and the freedoms that have been slip-sliding away?
Instead of fighting a never-ending fight over mandates, withdraw consent.
Apply the Declaration of Independence. Self-determination means claiming responsibility for your rights to choose and affirming that you are a body and a soul.
According the Declaration of Independence, human rights come from “God” (secular) not the State. Reaffirmation of “God” means a divorce from Postmodernism where “men” are god—above the law and without any moral compass.
Refrain from arguing the science as the primary foundation for vaccine choice. The vaccine debate cannot become a distraction. If all rights are abolished, there will be no more discussion, no reason to argue the science.
Under quarantine of sick and healthy people, it is impossible to gather communities together to become self-sufficient. Without the ability to create community gardens, create your own garden until you can merge your garden with others.
Create a local, bartering system (Time Bank) for services.
We cannot allow ‘Coronavirus,’ or any virus, to become a “race-to-the-bottom” in a divide-n-conquer exercise. New apps were tested during the 2020 pandemic to encourage people “snitch” on their neighbors for disobeying quarantine.
Refuse to consent to dictates that turn you into an animal. Unless you consider yourself “nonessential,” know who you are since politicians will not disclose what they will do under an emergency until TSHTF.
If countries, or states, continue to lose autonomy, or if food or water is rationed, there will be new reasons for Civil War in the years to come. Will states secede over basic human rights being lost? What then? Will there be a structure waiting to be filled, by design?
The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner, October 1917 lectures

The truth about The Transhumanist Agenda has been bubbling to the surface in rashes, heart ailments, mental disorders, miscarriages, and infertility, along with increased deaths in certain groups. There are no signs of healing on the horizon because the symptoms mirror a deeper truth that touches the sanctum of human divinity, itself.
Spiritual PSYOP
The Psychological Operation, or PSYOP, appears to be spiritual, fought on two fronts, directed by two groups of authorities: 1) earthly human/androids/humanoids (top politicians, scientists, Hollywood), and 2) non-earthly, non-human, Inter-dimensionals (spirits) who direct their earthly underlings from behind the scenes.
As the Transhumanist Reset plays out against the backdrop of a pandemic PSYOP, the tools wielded are both material and energetic (mind control): from media and entertainment, to controlled opposition and the rituals of social distancing, lockdowns, and masking.
The people will believe what the media tells them they believe. ~ George Orwell
The PSYOP uses inverted ideology and language. Thus, pandemic injections, promoted as cure-alls, do the opposite. Ultimately, they end human procreation through infertility and ‘fetal demise.’ They take out the human defense system, known as the innate immune system, through the Trojan Horse of inoculations. And they leave a shell. An October 2021 COVID vaccine efficacy study confirms the results on the immune system:
Questions remain regarding a booster dose and waning immunity, the duration of immunity, and heterologous vaccination.
Before most humans can wake up to see through the multidimensional layers, the damage is done. The known dangers of mRNA inoculations and the PCR test, a delivery system, are disclosed after ‘deployment’ (a military word). Only now do reports show actual casualty reports, published in medical journals and in obituaries. Thanks to medical databases, and search engines, anyone can search physical adverse events and symptoms associated with the PSYOP products:
The technology of these authorities remains without FDA-approval, and with more boosters coming down the pipeline. The inoculations continue to be rated Emergency Use Only (EUA), or experimental, because authorities are still testing the population. The companies contracted to manufacture this technology by these authorities have not provided a complete list of ingredients but they have disclosed that the ingredients incorporate into the recipient DNA.
A new Swedish study published in MDPI found that the Pfizer vaccine goes into liver cells and converts to DNA, challenging claims so far that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines do not change or interact with your DNA in any way.
At least two questions should arise in everyone’s mind:
Does DNA tampering affect human consciousness? The soul? The spirit?
Are warnings from prophets meant as disclosures?
“I have told you that the spirits of darkness are going to inspire their human hosts, in whom they will be dwelling, to find a vaccine that will drive all inclination toward spirituality out of people’s souls when they are still very young, and this will happen in a roundabout way through the living body. Today, bodies are vaccinated against one thing and another; in future, children will be vaccinated with a substance which it will certainly be possible to produce, and this will make them immune, so that they do not develop foolish inclinations connected with spiritual life – ‘foolish’ here, or course, in the eyes of materialists. . . .
“. . . a way will finally be found to vaccinate bodies so that these bodies will not allow the inclination toward spiritual ideas to develop and all their lives people will believe only in the physical world they perceive with the senses. ~ Rudolf Steiner, October 1917 lectures

In the Roman Empire, Galen of Pergamon, was a Greek polymath: physician, surgeon and philosopher who believed that the body was the physical vehicle for the indwelling soul. Considered to be one of the most accomplished of all medical researchers of his time, Galen influenced the development of various scientific disciplines, including anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and neurology, as well as philosophy, logic, and herbalism. Galen developed the Four Humors System that Hippocrates had created by adding the ideas of Physis and Pneuma. Galen’s most famous medicinal formula was Theriac, an herbal tonic with 64 different ingredients that was a cure-all for many diseases, and an antidote to many poisons and viper venoms. His ideas encompassed the life force, spirit, and breath that is infused in all living beings that was slowly written out of western medicine.
Yet, as times change, so does acceptance of long suppressed concepts. Slowly, the concept of the soul is bleeding through the mire of medical science. The medical journal Psychology Today features a 2011 article: Biocentrism: Does the Soul Exist? Evidence Says ‘Yes’. Author Robert Lanza writes:
The results not only defy our classical intuition but suggest that a part of the mind — the soul — is immortal and exists outside of space and time. ~ Robert Lanza M.D
What is known, despite a lack of acknowledgment by authorities, is that human beings are a body, a mind, a soul, and a spirit rolled into one. Human beings are the seen and the unseen. They are electric and magnetic, made up of matter and energy. How does magnetic resonance imagery (MRI) technology work without a human energy biofield? When looking into a mirror, humans are more than meets the eye: Spiritual beings having a human experience.
While adding synthetic foreign matter to the human body produces known negative physical consequences, less is disclosed about changes of the human bioenergetic field. Will an altered human vibrate at a frequency different from the vibration of the soul essence? Does the synthetic inoculation create incoherence? Do humans remain divine, sovereign, and free?
Only the authorities know for sure. And they are not telling because they have reached their goal of attacking human energy using advanced technology through a needle. In October 2019, Microsoft promoted an initiative called ID2020, a platform for an” implantable digital ID vaccine system, whose goal was “giving every human on the planet a digital ID.” This ID is in the form of a DNA vaccine tattoo. Today, the technology is called The Good Health Pass to restrict travel among the masses.
Does this sound like the dystopian, futuristic Netflix series, 3%, labelled as a post apocalyptic thriller where only 3% are allowed to transition to a “better” life after being tested in a game of wits? However, once they get to the “better life”…. spoiler alert….. they are vaccinated and told they can never have children.
Human divinity is a birthright because humans give birth. Is there anything more valuable than human divinity to those who lack it? What happens when the divinity supply line is cut off? Do humans become mere vessels for Inter-dimensionals?
Ironically, these answers have been prophesied as warnings by Rudolf Steiner, and Aldous Huxley, and George Orwell, well known elites themselves.
By now it is widely known that the mRNA patented injections do not live up to their marketed promises because they were never meant to benefit humans at all, but rather benefit another group of beings that stays hidden.
The Borg Culture
In 1961, Aldous Huxley warned of a sinister agenda, stating that “there will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude.” He did not say there could be. He said there will be.
Were Rudolf Steiner and Aldous Huxley prophets who offered a warning to individuals of a coming soul-less world? Or were they programmers who carried out a ritual by planting a seed in the minds of men? Predictive programming.
In Klaus Schwab’s Global reset to Transhumanism, the message is clear. Klaus is a programmer who seeks to cut off the soul connection present in each individual (something he lacks), and replace it with a materialist hive-mind. Through rituals that work like an alchemical transformation of consciousness, the “I” of individual disappears. Why create a a society of automatons?
Freedom is irrelevant. Self-determination is irrelevant. You must comply. ~ The Borg
Hollywood, a branch of the political system, is complicit in the PSYOP, providing disclosure through fiction. Star Trek’s The Borg shed light, early on, on planned human transformation. The Borg are cybernetic organisms (cyborgs) linked in a hive mind called “the Collective.” The Borg’s purpose is to co-opt the technology and knowledge of other species through the process of “assimilation”: forcibly transforming individual beings into “drones” by injecting nanoprobes into their bodies and surgically augmenting them with cybernetic components.
The Borg, The Stepford Wives, The Sentenels-X-Men, Terminator, Ultron, The Avengers, are all forms of disclosureby those who seek to sever the human soul from the body. What better way to offer humanity implied consent than through entertainment on the big screen where people pay to participate in the story of their soul’s demise? What more efficient way to wage a war on the mind of humanity than from the inside out?
Cornell engineers constructed a DNA material with capabilities of metabolism, in addition to self-assembly and organization – three key traits of life.
Natural human DNA acts like a biological antenna, a receiver, transmitter, and retainer of information past, present, and future. Through natural evolution, DNA expands abilities in individuals, including psychic ability and telepathy. DNA is of Nature and functions under Natural law. DNA is also highly sensitive to harmful frequencies (3G, 4G, 5G, nanobots). Add patented mRNA injectables to the bloodstream and DNA is now targeted by ionizing frequencies that cause humans to veer off course, from a natural organic evolution to a divergent devolution. 5G frequencies play a pivotal role as a directed energy weapon.
If people are unaware of how their energy feels in their own bodies, if they do not know of their divine right to be sovereign and free, then how do they notice any changes once the soul is severed? What will divinity look like then?
The disconnection of human consciousness, alluded to by Rudolf Steiner, Hollywood, and others, suggest a bifurcation or split into two different consciousness streams for humans, one organic of Nature and regeneration, and one inorganic of Synthetics and degeneration.
The compression of human consciousness is happening now, like the splitting of a cell under pressure. However, in this universe, there is also The Light to balance The Darkness. That Light is inside each of us. We come to Earth equipped with everything we need. We only have to remember and choose it. The only way to know which direction to go is to be aware of all directions and choose one.
I am not committed to any “partisan” organization. I do not engage in the political arena; as it has not, is not and will never be an avenue to “freedom, liberty and justice for all.” This is simply a familiar, revisionist rhetoric with which we attach and identify ourselves, in an evasion of our unique truth. Our trust in an exploitative system of government is our personal cover to avoid ourselves. In our feigned stand to be “patriotic,” we become casualties of our own partisanship. Either side of the aisle is rife with delusional, egocentric and sociopathic criminals, selling their souls to authoritarian entities and organizations to protect their artificial power. Our engagement in the electoral matrix enslaves us as victims of their crimes.
Artificial Power
The power totalitarian entities and organizations wield over the people is not “real.” Social reality is an illusion. Therefore, the autocracy we enable in our engagement with celebrities, corporate and financial officials, politicians, religious and spiritual leaders, royals and other dignitaries is our individual delusion. Our interaction with social reality is simply an attention vortex, seizing our energy and personal power. Generational indoctrination has cloned us into automatons, reacting to the stimuli authoritarianism enacts with their laws, mandates, policies and standards. We eagerly and willingly subscribe to simulated eventualities, thus enabling their artificial supremacy at the cost of our personal empowerment.
The Tide of Adolescence
The results of the US Election were the pulse of a nation. The winner exuded the aggression, arrogance, delusion, egocentricity, hate, immaturity, malevolence and prejudice only a teenager could convey. More than half the country selected him for the highest office of the land, as their own repressed adolescence resonated with his rhetorical propaganda. In my observation, it speaks more about the naivety of the voter base than the egocentricity of their candidate. The other side of the aisle feigned the spirit of democracy, projecting the fear of what may happen to the nation in the event the unthinkable occurred. When it did, they expressed their own immaturity with helplessness and hopelessness, succumbing to their own distinct tide of adolescence.
Ritual De Lo Habitual
Global events are not as they seem. Beyond the intrigue of their occurrence is a sinister intent. At the core of their agenda is a social energy vortex. The US Election captivated the attention of the world. Billions of people tuned in to witness the hypocrisy of democracy. Where their attention went, so did their energy. During the frenzy of political polarity, many were hypnotized, mystified, stigmatized and traumatized with anger, conflict, fear, hate, prejudice and uncertainty. Citizens on both sides of partisanship fell victim to the con with their engagement in division, egocentricity, manipulation and toxicity. The electoral ritual once again achieved its objective, deceiving and disempowering a nation into oppositional enslavement.
“We are the puppets, and politics the strings.”
The Con of a Nation
Almost a decade ago, the partisan scripts were flipped. We witnessed conservatives embracing conspiracy theories, eventually smearing them for delusional agendas; as liberals pivoted toward the illusion of fundamentalism, historically exhibited by their counterparts. Both the conservative and liberal parties in the United States employ their distinct, propagandized techniques of indoctrination. The Right imposes offensive aggression, blitzing their base with vitriol. While the Left reacts with defensive pacifism, lulling their acolytes into oblivion with a fantasy of democracy. The political pendulum swings back and forth from blue to red, slicing through the conscience of the country and executing the electoral con of the nation.
The Red Tide
The only element I find acceptable about government is balance. Whether it is the executive, judicial or legislative branches, equilibrium is the only saving grace in an abusive, brutal, corrupt, deceptive and egocentric, social control system. As pharmaceutical companies create customers instead of cures, political parties incite division under the pretense of unity. Our representatives are not leaders, they are dictators, enforcing obedience upon the nation with deliberate and malevolent egocentricity. The balance of democracy is lost, cast aside with the nation’s unresolved adolescence via a critical mass of anger, entitlement, fear, hatred, prejudice and self-righteousness. The electoral hurricane swept the country as a raging, Red Tide.

Political Polarity
The residual shockwave of national naivety resonates through the hearts, minds and bodies of both sides of partisanship. Whether it is the aggression of the right, or the passivity of the left, everyone engaged in the electoral system is traumatized. For the winners, their victory blinds them to the consequences of their selection. For the losers, the gravity of defeat favors their capacity to shift from despair to empowerment. In these seminal moments of transition, it is essential that both conservatives and liberals alike find their balance; first within, then without. All of us are equally traditionalists and progressives, when we choose to evolve beyond the institutional indoctrination of political polarity.
A New Balance
We are multi-dimensional beings. Our body, mind and heart are sourced by our intuition and soul. Attempting to seek our internal balance in our external environment is a symptom of our social dependency, delusion and indoctrination. The focus of our awareness is always leaving us; and with it, our energy, personal power and universality. When world events transpire and render our social reference point obsolete, it is our opportunity to observe, transform and transcend all we were to embrace all we are. In the wake of the electoral storm, establishing our new balance is essential. The relativity between our body, mind, heart, intuition and soul is the vital equilibrium for our universal evolution.
Inner Uprising
We do not experience ourselves or others for who we/they truly are, until extreme shifts in our environments awaken us from the artificiality of our simulated daydreams. Given social reality is an illusion, our dependance upon it is our delusion. The extent of our engagement in sociality is equivalent to our personal oblivion. The measure of our insentience is comparable with the intensity of our toxic reactivity. The US Election was the ultimate stimuli; not only to initiate our reaction, yet to reveal our repressed and unresolved, personal issues, suppressed by our individualized oblivion. When we observe, process, transform and transcend our veiled adolescence, we empower our inner uprising and embody our universality.
We The People
Totalitarianism has always thrived in a social reality driven by egocentricity. We are inherently indoctrinated into selfishness, conditioned by our simulated encounters, environments and relations. We are enslaved in a singularity of self, segregated from our experience, evolution, relativity and soul. Global society is transitioning into fundamentalistic radicalism, establishing a new matrix of virtuality. Becoming who we are in our heart and soul has, is and will always be our collective destiny. When we free ourselves from the entanglement of social reality, our soul sources us with enlightened emotionality, transcendent vision and conscious empowerment. We are the key to the evolution of humanity.

International cannabis news
This month, the US FDA surprised many by authorizing a clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of using cannabis to treat military veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder,reported the New York Times.
Politico’s Natalie Fertig also reports that some in the US cannabis industry are excited by the possibility of Matt Gaetz becoming the US attorney general, who they say is well-informed on and friendly to the cannabis file. The article includes comments from Boris Jordan, CEO of Curaleaf, former GOP Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, and David Culver of the US Cannabis Council.
But that was short-lived after Gaetz withdrew from the contest. Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondiis the new pick. She has a track record of not looking favourably upon cannabis legalization efforts or use.
Only one organization supporting cannabis rescheduling in the US will have full standing for the highly anticipated December 2 hearing: the American National Cannabis Industry Association, reports MJBizDaily. Every party that applied to argue against moving cannabis to Schedule 3 has full standing to participate in an upcoming landmark hearing, though.
THE PEOPLE OF THE FLINT, the Mohawk (Kahniakehake) are the Keepers of the East Gate from the community of Akwesasne.
The Kahniakehake are one of the original Five Nations to accept the Peacemaker’s message and joined together with the Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca, and Cayuga to form the Iroquois (lerahkwa)Confederacy.
The Aiionwatha (Hiawatha) belt represents the founding of the lerahkwa Confederacy. When the Peacemaker came to the warring Five Nations, he carried with him the message of Kaianeraserakowa (the Great Law of Peace).
The Peacemaker came to the “lerahkwa” with his message of Skennen (Peace), Kariwiio (The Good Word), and Kasatensera (strength), which contains the principles of peace, equality, respect, love, and justice.
The Peacemaker envisioned the uniting of these Nations in Peace as one extended Longhouse with each Nation having their own hearth fire. In other words, each Nation would have a shared sovereignty in the “lerahkwa” Confederacy, and the responsibility to protect the Peace, the Natural World, and the Future Generations to come, while retaining the sovereignty over their own Nations.
The joining together of the Five Nations is perhaps the oldest example of nations uniting under a single form of government and spirituality. Interestingly, the “lerahkwa” draw no distinction between what is political and what is spiritual, for our spiritual leaders are also the political leaders.
The Mohawk are known as the Elder Brothers, which has significance when the Grand Council of Chiefs, composed of all fifty chiefs of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, meet to discuss matters of importance to the entire Confederacy. The Mohawk were the first Nation to accept the Great Law of Peace from the Peacemaker as he and Aiionwatha (Hiawatha) journeyed to the Five Nations.
The Kahniakehake known as the Keepers of the Eastern Door, it is their duty to protect the “lerahkwa” Confederacy from trouble that may approach from the east or west.
One can identify the Nation that the wearer is from by the number of eagle feathers and the position of these feathers worn on the kastoweh.
Kahniakehake (Mohawk) men wear three upright eagle feathers on their kastowehs. If the man were a chief of the Kahniakehake Nation, he would wear attached to his feathered hat deer antlers that symbolize his authority as one of the nine chiefs of the Mohawk Nation. The Mohawk also have Clan Mothers. Clan Mothers have many important duties, and one duty is to choose who will become chief.
The Kahniakehake have three clans. The three clans are Turtle, Bear, and Wolf. The “lerahkwa” are matrilineal, which means that the clans are passed down from one’s mother.
These two men below are Thomas Square (wearing the kastoweh) – Wolf Clan and Roger Jock(playing the drum) – Bear Clan both of the Men are part of the Men and Warrior Council of the Mohawk.
They are part of the creators of the new government called the “lerahkwa Ne Kanienke Government” under the Great Law of Peace.
There will be NO POLITICIANS, NO CHIEFS, NO TAXES we the People will own all the natural resources. Banks will be opened in each community, create embassies worldwide, carry our own Passports, and have our own license plates on our vehicles.
We will be governed under the Great Law of Peace which is based on Clans and Councils by the People to make all decisions, and the WOMEN (Natural) will once again have a seat at the table.
Thomas and the men of the Taino tribe are working on currency (backed by Gold for Turtle Island) and banking (they have opened the first international Indigenous Bank).
It’s time to have our own government for the People BY the People in the Public corporate system equal to Canada and the United States.
But NOT use the USA Fiat money $$$$$ which is a debt-based currency and holds no value as it is not backed by Gold. It was created by the (Zionist bankers) 100 yrs ago that they print on demand and keep us all in slavery and WARS.
We must have a currency backed by Gold=PEACE and we must do a REFERENDUM to UNITE All the TRIBES of Turtle Island – America’s North & South.
Here is a great video below with Thomas Square, Roger Jock, Loran Thompson and the late Francis Boot with a young man Sago speaking this was recorded in 2023.
Band council is an administrative arm of Canada. Canada can’t enter into treaties with itself. Canada doesn’t want to discuss the Two-Row because it doesn’t have true sovereignty, it’s the Crown who is beholden to the Two-Row so Canada’s unlawful existence is a violation of the two-row. If the British wants to abandon its colony that’s fine but that means all of the infrastructure put in belongs to the onkwehón:we.
But if the British want to stop pretending that Canada is a lawful country & claim ownership of their colony then they best be sticking to the terms of the Two-Row.
It’s time that we straighten out our matters. There is no better time than now. We each know what we can contribute to this end.
We are living under duress under the gun of two colonial military occupations. Both colonial governments claim our Mother, the soil using religious dogma, the Christian doctrine of discovery. This Christian belief system says that people who are non-Christian are sub-human – less than human. So, they can claim discover our land because there are no people who live there, empty land.
This belief is embedded in law (or rules & regulations that carry the force of law) in both the United States & Canada. Both countries are unlawful, they are colonies who are in violation of the terms mutually agreed to that bring about Peace & a mutual strength – as recorded in Wampum – the Two-Row / Teyohate the way of this land.
Below you can listen to Mohawk Bear Clan – Loran Thompson, Wolf Clan Paul Deleronde and Snipe Clan Francis Boots explain the “Two Row Wampum Agreements”
Cannabis NB, the provincial cannabis regulator and retailer, has launched an education campaign aimed at informing consumers about the risks of illegal cannabis products.
The campaign, called Good To Know, uses recent findings by the Research Productivity Council (RPC) of New Brunswick which showed chemical contaminants, including pesticides, found in illicit cannabis samples, particularly vaping cartridges, in New Brunswick.
The provincial agency first launched the Good To Know campaign in 2022, which at the time focussed on similar testing by RPC that looked at samples of several cannabis products obtained from markets in New Brunswick, including dried flower and edibles, and tested them for things like THC levels, moulds, heavy metals, and pesticides.
This year’s iteration of the education campaign focusses on sharing information through digital displays and billboards, video ads, and Snapchat, targeting New Brunswickers 19 years and older. The campaign messaging will also be leveraged in Cannabis NB stores and social media.
“Our commitment to safety and education is the foundation of Cannabis NB’s culture. It’s built into the sales experience and training of our teams,” says Lori Stickles, President and CEO of Cannabis NB. “While legal cannabis must be tested for contaminants, illicit cannabis does not comply with Health Canada’s Good Production Practices. It is important that consumers have access to information, understand the risks associated with illegal cannabis, and make educated choices on quality and safety by turning to Cannabis NB and its certified private retail stores.”
In 2024, Cannabis NB also participated in awareness and education activations at two major festivals, the Moonlight Bazaar in Saint John in August and the Harvest Music Festival in Fredericton in September.
Nova Scotia also recently launched a similar public education campaign. The Ontario government launched their Buzz Kill campaign in October, which included a pop-up store made to look like an illegal pot shop.
In Alberta, the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) recently launched its Forget Bad Bud campaign, as well, drawing attention to the differences between the legal and illegal cannabis market in Canada.
Retail cannabis sales in Canada continue to hold relatively steady year-over-year, with the summer peak in sales in August reaching $476 million, up slightly from $469 million in August 2023.
Cannabis sales had seen significant year-over-year growth in the first four years of legalization, along with the number of new retail outlets appearing across the country. In the last two years, though, the increase in sales began to slow down, coinciding with a slowdown in new retail stores, likely representing market saturation.
Statistics Canada reported in April 2024 that about 71% of cannabis consumers in the previous year had bought cannabis exclusively from legal sources, such as the more than 3,000 legal cannabis stores in Canada. It’s important to note that Statistics Canada’s monthly cannabis sales figures are at times adjusted as the quality of collected data improves.
The figures below show both seasonally adjusted sales figures as well as unadjusted.
