Right Beneath Your Feet: The Hidden Reality of Deep Underground Military Bases
In Brief
- The Facts:
On a recent episode of CETV, we discussed the hidden reality of Deep Underground Military Bases. There is sufficient evidence showing that the construction of these vast, and very deep bases is a reality.
- Reflect On:
Is this where our tax dollars are going? Is this for the people? What's going on down there?
Secrecy runs rampant in our world, and multiple investigations have uncovered that trillions upon trillions of our tax dollars are going towards programs that we have no idea even exist. It's amazing how much money is scraped off of each paycheque, and how much money multiple small and big businesses pay.
We are told that it's necessary, that this is the money going towards various programs that are responsible for building our schools, employing people for necessary services and infrastructure, among many other things. It's truly amazing how much money governments rake in from taxes, and it's even more astonishing how much of this money is funding black budget programs and other programs that aren't in favour of the people.
--> FREE Documentary Series: "Exhausted" explores how you can regain, restore and replenish the endless energy you thought you had lost forever. Click here to save your spot!
Black budget programs include Special Access Programs (SAPs). These programs do not exist publicly, but they do indeed exist. They are better known as 'deep black programs.' A 1997 US Senate report described them as "so sensitive that they are exempt from standard reporting requirements to the Congress."
How much money are we talking about? The most recent investigation was conducted by economist and Michigan State professor Mark Skidmore, alongside some of his graduate students as well as Catherine Austin Fitts, former assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development. They discovered trillions of unaccounted for dollars missing from the Department of Housing & Urban Development as well as the Department of Defense. You can read more about that here.
In episode 4 of The Collective Evolution Show on CETV, we discussed the Black Budget in much deeper detail, if you're interested in that. CETV is a platform we created to combat the censorship we are currently experiencing, as our revenue streams have been taken away and are now extremely limited.
Some of these programs involve the construction of deep underground military bases, known as (DUMBS). Furthermore, some of this money is also going towards the construction of under-ocean, and in-bottom (of the ocean) military bases.
These bases employ a very high and sophisticated level of technology, and what is happening down there is extremely secretive.
In 1987, Deputy Director of Engineering and Construction for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Lloyd A. Duscha, gave a speech at an engineering conference titled "Underground Facilities for Defense – Experience and Lessons." In the first paragraph of his speech he states the following:
After World War II, political and economic factors changed the underground construction picture and caused a renewed interest to "think underground." As a result of this interest, the Corps of Engineers became involved in the design and construction of some very complex and interesting military projects. Although the conference program indicates the topic to be "Underground Facilities for Defense – Experience and Lessons," I must deviate a little because several of the most interesting facilities that have been designed and constructed by the Corps are classified. – Lloyd A. Duscha, "Underground Facilities for Defense – Experience and Lessons," in Tunneling and Underground Transport: Future Developments in Technology. Economics and Policy, ed. F.P. Davidson (New York: Elsevier Science Publishing Company, Inc., 1987, pp. 109-113.)

The University of California Makes The Flu Vaccine Mandatory For All Students, Faculty & Staff
In Brief
- The Facts:
The University of California, along with several other universities have now made the flu shot a requirement for all students, staff and faculty.
- Reflect On:
Why are vaccine mandates moving forward when there is adequate evidence showing that they are not a one size fits all product, they cause injury, they've never provided herd-immunity and they are not effective all the time against the target disease?
What Happened: The University of California recently announced that all students, faculty and staff will be required to get their flu vaccinations before November 1st of this year. It's part of a new system-wide executive order that UC officials announced on Friday. According them, it's a "proactive measure to help protect members of the UC community – and the public at large – and to ameliorate the severe burdens on health care systems anticipated during the coming fall and winter from influenza and COVID-19."
A few other universities nationwide have enacted similar policies — Purdue University in Indiana, for example, decided in June to require people returning to campus to get the shot. The University of Miami and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville have also added flu vaccine requirements.
The effort is being made to avoid the potential surge of flu patients who seek hospital care while many may be dealing with coronavirus patients. According msn, this means that "fewer people will have flu and COVID-19 at the same time, a combination that could potentially worsen their health outcome."
Why This Is Important: This is important because all of these mandates are being enacted under the belief that they will prevent flu cases, COVID-19 cases, and also help protect other people as well, which is the backbone argument of the vaccine industry. Mandates are also moving forward based on the assumption that vaccines are completely safe and effective for everyone.
The problem is, these assumptions do not match a lot of the science that's been published over the years regarding the flu shot.
For example;
Dr. Peter Doshi is an associate editor at The BMJ (British Medical Journal) and also an assistant professor of pharmaceutical health services research at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy published a paper in The BMJ titled "Influenza: Marketing Vaccines By Marketing Disease." In it, he points out that the CDC pledges "to base all public health decisions on the highest quality of scientific data, openly and objectively derived," and how this isn't the case when it comes to the flu vaccine and its marketing. He stresses that "the vaccine may be less beneficial and less safe than has been claimed, and that "the threat of influenza seems to be overstated."
He goes on to state:
But perhaps the cleverest aspect of the influenza marketing strategy surrounds the claim that "flu" and "influenza" are the same. The distinction seems subtle, and purely semantic. But general lack of awareness of the difference might be the primary reason few people realize that even the ideal influenza vaccine, matched perfectly to circulating strains of wild influenza and capable of stopping all influenza viruses, can only deal with a small part of the "flu" problem because most "flu" appears to have nothing to do with influenza. Every year, hundreds of thousands of respiratory specimens are tested across the US. Of those tested, on average 16% are found to be influenza positive. (fig 2).⇓ All influenza is "flu," but only one in six "flus" might be influenza. It's no wonder so many people feel that "flu shots" don't work: for most flus, they can't.
Dr. Alvin Moss, MD and professor at the West Virginia University School of Medicine emphasizes in this video:
The flu vaccine happens to be the vaccine that causes the most injury in this country. The vaccine injury compensation program, 40 percent of all vaccinations in this country are flu shots, but 60 percent of all the compensations are for the flu vaccine. So a disproportionate number of vaccine related injuries are the flu shot. I think many of you it's been recommended to you that you get the flu shot, I don't know if you're aware of the fact, the CDC statistics are, that every year they look at vaccine effectiveness, for this particular year the vaccine effectiveness is 48 percent, so that means it's not highly effective. It's not even all that effective, if you look at the scientific literature…the evidence to support giving the flu vaccine is moderate to weak. It is not strong evidence. They say the evidence to support giving the flu vaccine to people over the age of 65 is not there, it's inconclusive. So a lot of the things we've been told as Americans about vaccinations are not really based on the science. (source)
The National Childhood Vaccine Injury (NCVIA) has already paid out approximately $4 billion to compensate families of vaccine injured children. As astronomical as the monetary awards are, they're even more alarming considering HHS claims that only an estimated 1% of vaccine injuries are even reported to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). If the numbers from VAERS and HHS are correct – only 1% of vaccine injuries are reported and only 1/3 of the petitions are compensated – then up to 99% of vaccine injuries go unreported.
Preliminary data was collected from June 2006 through October 2009 on 715,000 patients, and 1.4 million doses (of 45 different vaccines) were given to 376,452 individuals. Of these doses, 35,570 possible reactions (2.6 percent of vaccinations) were identified. This is an average of 890 possible events, an average of 1.3 events per clinician, per month. This data was presented at the 2009 AMIA conference. (source)
This completely contradicts the CDC's claim that 1/1,000,000 people are injured from vaccines.
As far as the flu vaccine and if it can help prevent other respiratory viruses, Greg. G Wolff, an Epidemiologist with the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Branch recently published a study in the Journal Vaccine titled, Influenza vaccination and respiratory virus interference among Department of Defense personnel during the 2017–2018 influenza season. The study examined virus interference in a Department of Defense population, this refers to the increased risk of other respiratory viruses as a result of, in this case, the influenza vaccine. The study found that virus interference varied among vaccinated individuals for individual respiratory viruses, and found that for coronaviruses in particular, in this study, those who had been vaccinated with the flu vaccine had a 36 percent higher risk of contracting them. This doesn't apply to the new coronavirus, but instead already existing circulating coronaviruses. There were no associations found with most other respiratory viruses, except metapneumovirus, which was associated with an even higher risk of contracting it among those who had received their flu vaccine.
A recent consensus statement from a group of renowned infectious disease clinicians observed that vaccine programs have proven ill-suited to the fast-changing viruses underlying these illnesses, with efficacy ranging from 19% to 54% in the past few years. (source)
Professor Heidi Larson, a Professor of Anthropology and the Risk and Decision Scientist Director at the Vaccine Confidence Project points out that t's "not just confidence in providers but confidence of health care providers, we have a very wobbly health professional frontline that is starting to question vaccines and the safety of vaccines." She did so at a World Health Organization conference on vaccine safety, you can read more about that here.
The mainstream media never addresses the points made above, and it doesn't even represent the tip of the ice-berg. It's confusing at to why it's assumed the flu vaccine is safe and effective for most people, when it's clearly, in the opinion of many, not.
Our CETV Episode About The Flu Shot: Facebook is blocking many of our posts from our own audience, Youtube demonetized us and many articles like this particular one may labelled and are labelled as "fake news." As a result, in order to (attempt to) stay alive and continue doing what we do, we created a platform called CETV. It's away for people to access information without organizations like Google or Facebook stepping in to censor it. You can sign up for your free trial if you're interesting in browsing through what we have, and if you're interested in supporting us you can get a monthly/yearly subscription after that if you want to continue. In one of our latest episodes, CE founder Joe martino and I discuss the flu vaccine. Below is a brief clip of the episode, again, you can sign up for a free trial to watch the full episode.
The Takeaway
Why are so many concerns being raised with regards to vaccinations being completely ignored and unacknowledged? Why are those who raise these concerns labelled as "anti-vaccination?" Why does the mainstream use these labels, as well as ridicule, instead of actually addressing the points made and countering them? Why are vaccines marketed to be gods gift to humanity when there are so many safety concerns? Would more rigorous safety testing not be in the best interest of everybody? Wouldn't everybody agree that any concerns with vaccinations should be addressed openly, publicly and transparently?
Vaccine mandates, and others, are simply going to force people to exit various parts of the 'system' they will no longer be allowed to participate in. This begs the question, do we want to continue to be dependent on an entity, like the government, for our basic needs, like food and shelter, etc, or is there another way to do it? With so many conflicts of interests and examples of corruption within our federal health regulatory agencies, as well as clear evidence of concern, why do we continue to live the way we do, why do we keep voting when that only upholds a system we no longer want to play with? Why are we letting powerful entities make our decisions and do our thinking for us? What's really going on here?

Two Boys Drop Dead While Wearing Face Masks During Gym Class
In Brief
- The Facts:
Two Chinese boys dropped dead in gym class while exercising and wearing a mask. It's unclear whether or not the masks had anything to do with their deaths.
- Reflect On:
Why are children in gym class, and some gyms across the globe mandating masks when there is science indicating that wearing a mask while exercising is not safe and potentially dangerous?
What Happened: Multiple media outlets are reporting that two Chinese boys dropped dead within one week of each other wearing face masks during gym class. Both of the students were 14 years old and were running laps for a physical examination test when they suddenly collapsed and lost consciousness during their run.
According to the New York Post:
One of the teens was only minutes into his gym class when he fell backward April 24 at Dancheng Caiyuan Middle School in Henan province, according to the outlet.
"He was wearing a mask while lapping the running track, then he suddenly fell backwards and hit his head on the ground," his father, who was only identified as Li, told the outlet.
His dad said teachers and students tried to help him, to no avail.
The death certificate listed the cause as sudden cardiac arrest, but no autopsy was performed, the outlet said.
The boy's father said he believes that the mask his son was required to wear to school played a role in his death.
It's not clear if the cause of death was a result of wearing a mask, or if the masks even contributed to the death of the boys. That being said, it's important to ask whether or not masks are dangerous during exercise.
But Cao Lanxiu, professor at Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine, said it's unlikely that the mask caused the boy to suffocate.
"I don't think mask-wearing has caused this sudden death," Cao said, though she added that it was impossible to say without an autopsy.
Six days after his death, the second student collapsed at Changsha's Xiangjun Future Experimental School in Hunan province, the outlet reported.
He had been wearing an N95 respirator and running a 1,000-meter exam when the fatal incident occurred, the report said. It's unclear whether an autopsy had been ordered.
Though it's not known whether the masks played a role in either death, several schools in Tianjin and Shanghai have canceled physical education exams, according to the report.
Why This Is Important: A study published in June 2020 raises some health concerns about people wearing masks while exercising. It also calls into question the ability of masks to stop Covid-19. It's not the only study to do so, but they go against multiple studies that have been recently published showing that masks can indeed be effective in stoping Covid-19, but it's quite a controversial subject and we're only hearing one side from the mainstream media, which is why I believe it's important to present the other.
The study was published in the Journal Medical Hypothesis titled "Exercise with facemask; Are we handling a devil's sword? – A physiological hypothesis" and claims the following:
Exercising with facemasks may reduce available Oxygen and increase air trapping preventing substantial carbon dioxide exchange. The hypercapnic hypoxia may potentially increase acidic environment, cardiac overload, anaerobic metabolism and renal overload, which may substantially aggravate the underlying pathology of established chronic diseases. Further contrary to the earlier thought, no evidence exists to claim the facemasks during exercise offer additional protection from the droplet transfer of the virus. Hence, we recommend social distancing is better than facemasks during exercise and optimal utilization rather than exploitation of facemasks during exercise.
According to the authors, exercising with facemasks induced as "a hypercapnic hypoxia environment [inadequate Oxygen (O2) and Carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange] [15]. This acidic environment, both at the alveolar and blood vessels level, induces numerous physiological alterations when exercising with facemasks: 1) Metabolic shift; 2) cardiorespiratory stress; 3) excretory system altercations; 4) Immune mechanism; 5) Brain and nervous system.'
Further, poor saturation of haemoglobin would be anticipated due to increased partial pressure of CO2 at higher exercise intensity [19]. Fig. 2 demonstrates the extreme right shift of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve, which would be higher than that expected during exercise. This acidic environment would unload O2 faster at the muscle level, but due to higher heart rate and reduced affinity at the alveolar junction, the partial pressure of O2 would substantially fall, creating a hypoxic environment for all vital organs.
The authors also point out that "wearing of facemasks to prevent the community spread of the novel Covid-19 is itself debatable, considering the limited evidence on the subject matter. WHO recommends masks only for Covid-19 patients but the usage of masks is morally "exploited" among community individuals."
Here's another interesting claim by the researchers:
Though the respirator masks are perceived to be the barriers for preventing aerosol depositions to the respiratory tract, the bitter reality is that masks increase the risk of more in-depth respiratory tract infections. As quoted by Perencevich et al. 2020, "The average healthy person shouldn't be wearing masks as it creates a false sense of security and people tend to touch their face more often when compared to not wearing masks. The surgical masks are debated to trap the droplets containing the vrus inside, increasing rather than reducing the risk of infection.
The study concludes:
Exercising with facemasks might increase pathophysiological risks of underlying chronic disease, especially cardiovascular and metabolic risks. Social exercisers are recommended to do low to moderate-intensity exercise, rather than vigorous exercise when they are wearing facemasks. We also recommend people with chronic diseases to exercise alone at home, under supervision when required, without the use of facemasks. Given the identified and hypothesized risks, social distancing and self-isolation appear to be better than wearing facemasks while exercising during this global crisis.
We are rapidly moving toward a time where the citizenry of the world no longer questions the information provided to them by their government. In many cases, simply questioning federal government and global health authorities like the World Health Organization (WHO) can result in censorship, and in our case, demonetization.
We've seen this a lot with Covid-19. The number of doctors and scientists around the world who have been raising multiple questions, cause for concern, and presenting research, information and evidence that completely contradicts the claims and recommendations that we are receiving from government health authorities is truly astounding. The amount they've been ignored by the mainstream, censored on the internet and ridiculed is also quite eye-opening and revealing.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, there is there a digital authoritarian Orwellian 'fact-checker' going around patrolling the internet and telling people what is and what isn't, what to believe and what not to believe. On top of this we are witnessing mandates instead of recommendations, when a wealth of information exists that clearly calls into question these mandates.
Should people not have the right to choose what they do with their body? Should people not have a right to examine all information and determine for themselves what is and what isn't? Why is there always a campaign to make people feel guilty, or make them feel like they are putting others in danger by not complying to mandates that are already highly questionable, and in some cases possibly even dangerous? What's going on here?
Another example of conflicting information: A paper published a couple of months ago in the New England Journal of Medicine by, Michael Klompas, M.D., M.P.H., Charles A. Morris, M.D., M.P.H., Julia Sinclair, M.B.A., Madelyn Pearson, D.N.P., R.N., and Erica S. Shenoy, M.D., Ph.D states:
We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.
A study published in 2015 found that cloth masks can increase healthcare workers risk of infection. It also called into question the efficacy of medical masks. You can read more about that and access it here.
The physiological effects of breathing elevated inhaled CO2 may include changes in visual performance, modified exercise endurance, headaches and dyspnea. The psychological effects include decreased reasoning and alertness, increased irritability, severe dyspnea, headache, dizziness, perspiration, and short-term memory loss. (source)
We are a society moving towards complete obedience, as well as the shame and ridicule of those who don't comply. Every day we are being 'turned against' each other and a lot of it is due to the fact that there is a plethora of credible information out there that completely contradicts our health authorities.
"We are the last free people, we are the people that have the last chance to act." – Julian Assange
The Takeaway
It can be frustrating living in a time where mandates are imposed on us despite a wealth of information showing that it doesn't make much sense. What is done for the 'greater good' according to governments may not actually be for the greater good, and this has been a theme throughout history, one that may even be hard for people to accept due to the fear it may bring into ones own consciousenss.
Today, there is more of a division amongst people with regards to 'what is' and 'what isn't' and that's largely due to the fact that our consciousness and perception of events are extremely manipulated. This is why there is always so much information contradicting information, recommendations and explanations that come from our government.
One thing is for certain, regardless of how you feel, keeping calm and peaceful in a time of 'chaos' is key.
There's no doubt about it, many people are going through and experiencing a shift in consciousness. COVID-19 has served as a catalyst for many to start questioning what we are being told, why we think the way we do and why we keep listening and following orders that don't really make much sense. It's similar to what we've experienced before with events like, 9/11 for example, and many others.
Living in a time like we are today can really drive people mad. It can be frustrating seeing so many people blindly following recommendations without ever questioning them, and in turn demonize those who don't. The human race has been subjected to measures throughout history under the guise of good, all while moving and creeping towards an authoritarian state. We should be listening to people like Edward Snowden on these matters in my opinion. He has been expressing that just like 9/11, governments are using COVID-19 to "monitor us like never before." He's stated that "As authoritarianism spreads, as emergency laws proliferate, as we sacrifice our rights, we also sacrifice our capability to arrest the slide into a less liberal and free world. Do you truly believe that when the first wave, this second wave, and the 16th wave of coronavirus is a long forgotten memory, that these capabilities will not be kept? (source)

Bronfman Family Billionaires Implicated In NXIVM Hollywood 'Sex Cult'
In Brief
- The Facts:
Clare Bronfman, pleaded guilty in April to charges related to her role with NXIVM sex cult, having funded the enterprise with more than one hundred million dollars over a few years. She is currently awaiting sentencing.
- Reflect On:
Why are some of the world's most powerful people being implicated with this activity? Many of these people have great power over the world's resources and in some cases, dictate government policy in multiple countries. How deep does this go?
What Happened: When Hollywood actress Allison Mack became one of multiple actresses t0 be implicated in the "NXIVM" sex cult case, it really opened more people's eyes to the reality of sex trafficking in 'high' places. NXIVM was a well known company that supposedly offered executive success programs but hid behind this description and mainly operated as a sex cult. Mack is still awaiting her sentencing, she and multiple other actresses have been accused of working for the cult in a management capacity. Mack's job was to lure women into the program under the false pretence of female empowerment. The leader, Keith Raniere, is currently in prison and awaiting sentencing for sex-trafficking. He was also accused of raping girls as young as 12–15 years old, imprisoning a woman for 18 months, child pornography, and more.
Women and possibly even children lured into the program were then convinced to sign up for a more "advanced program" called Dominus Obsequious Sororium, which required them to basically turn their lives over to the leader, Raniere. Dominus Obsequious Sororium is a quasi-Latin phrase that roughly translates to "Master Over The Slave Women." In this case, sex slaves.
What's even more concerning is the fact that Keith Raniere, his company, and those associated with the company ran a number of child-care facilities all over the world, under the name of "Rainbow Cultural Garden." RCG lives on in France through a company called Athal Education Group, which Sara Bronfman-Igtet and her husband, Basit Igtet, founded and financed, the French news outlet Le Dauphine reported in December 2018.
Bronfman-Igtet is an heir to the Seagram liquor fortune. The picture you see above is her father, Edgar Bronfman receiving a medal from close friend, Bill Clinton. Her sister, Clare Bronfman, pleaded guilty in April to charges related to her role in NXIVM. Trusts and bank accounts the Bronfman sisters controlled bankrolled Raniere to the tune of $150 million from 2004 through 2010, Vanity Fair reported.
An Albany home tied to the Rainbow Cultural Garden was raided by the feds, while British authorities were investigating a Rainbow-affiliated school in London. (source) It's hard to find decent information regarding updates.
According to Buzzfeed, "Igtet was deeply involved in NXIVM, the celebrity "sex cult" whose leadership is now under federal indictment, two sources said. Igtet proselytized for the group, BuzzFeed News has learned, while his wife, the heir Sara Bronfman, reportedly kept the cult afloat with tens of millions of dollars."
Clare is currently awaiting her sentencing,
Clare Bronfman, an heiress to the Seagram liquor fortune, was among the most high-profile members of a cultlike organization in which some women were branded and compelled to have sex with the leader. Her wealth helped finance the group, known as Nxivm. But on Friday afternoon, Ms. Bronfman, 40, pleaded guilty in Federal District Court in Brooklyn to charges arising from an indictment filed last year against her and several other followers of the group's leader, Keith Raniere. (source)
The company, like in Epstein's case, was also possibly used as a sexual blackmail operation. The Bronfman family is also associated closely with Leslie Wexner, allegedly the source of much of Epstein's mysterious wealth, and other mob-linked "philanthropists." You can read more about those associations here.
If you want to learn more about the Bronfman family, this article is a great place to start and really outlines the power that these kinds of families hold, and the corruption they've been a part of.
There are many strange facts about this cult, for example, eight months after the state Health Department refused to act on a complaint from a former cult member who alleged that Dr Brandon Porter, 44, forced her to watch disturbing rape and dismemberment videos for a "fright study" he was conducting, the New York Post reports, Jennifer Kobelt, actress and the former member of the notorious cult said in her August 2017 complaint that Porter may have performed his "fright study" on as many as 100 people.
Similar to the Jeffrey Epstein case, the NXIVM case has connections to some very well known people, beyond the Bronfman family and people in Hollywood. As the Rolling Stone Reports:
"A former member of NXIVM testified on Monday that members of the alleged cult tried to buy power and influence by currying favor with politicians and making illegal campaign contributions to the Clintons." (source)
"There are strange political connections as well. Mark Vicente, a documentary filmmaker and former high-ranking member of the group, testified at the trial of NXIVM head Keith Raniere that Clare Bronfman, the billionaire Seagram's heiress and alleged benefactor of the organization, approached him and a few other members of the group to help her make a contribution to a Clinton campaign." (source)
Our Interview With A Survivor of Child Sex Trafficking
One of the main reasons we keep covering the this topic is to draw attention to our interview with a survivor of child sex trafficking. The phenomenon is much deeper than what we are getting from the mainstream, and goes into mind control, brainwashing, ritual abuse, pedophilia, blackmail, murder, torture, organ harvesting and more.
The interview is with Anneke Lucas, who is is an author, speaker, advocate for child sex trafficking victims, founder of the non-profit organization Liberation Prison Yoga, and creator of the Unconditional Model. Her work is based on personal experience of a 30-year healing journey after surviving being sold by her family as a very young child sex slave to an elite level pedophile network.
The interview is deep, and goes into the consciousness aspect of her experience and why that aspect is so important.
You can access the full interview and start your free trial HERE on CETV, a platform we created to help combat internet censorship and allow us to continue to do our work and get the word out about various issues and topics.
Here are some articles we've written that also dive deeper into the phenomenon and provide more exampels of activity in high places:
A Child Sacrifice God Now On Display In Rome Raises Questions About Elite Pedophilia & Ritual Abuse
Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell Are Just The Tip of The Iceberg: This Goes Much Deeper
Child Porn Discovered on Department of Defense/Pentagon Computers: The Latest Updates
Why This Is Important: Elite level pedophile rings have been around for a very long time. Here are CE we covered the topic well before it became mainstream with impeccable sources, yet were still branded as 'conspiracy theorists' for doing so. Now that it's entered into the mainstream, many facts are being left out. This activity clearly implicates a lot of people, and what we might be seeing with Epstein and Maxwell, for example, may simply be the 'fall' people. Furthermore, many of those who engage in this type of activity have been in certain ways, 'victims' themselves. It's a complicated topic that's quite deep, which is why again I will direct you to the interview linked above if you're interested.
The Takeaway: At the end of the day we have to ask ourselves, how many of our 'leaders' and people who have been made out to be idols, in places like the Vatican and more are involved in this type of thing. For this type of abuse to take place, especially with children, shows a great lack of empathy and morality, so I ask you, are those who are making major decisions for our planet lacking the same? Is the activity they engage simply a glimpse into the overall feelings these people have for human life? Do they really care about us, or do they simply want to use us, control us, and continue manipulating our perception of major global events so we obey their orders?
Every two to four years we continue to give our power away to presidents and prime ministers, and their handlers, believing that voting is the key to change. Voting simply upholds and perpetuates a system that is so plagued with corruption that it is not capable of making the right choices for humanity. We have to create something new, and not keep reinforcing the idea that we have to give our power away and let the government take care of us. We are capable of more than we know.

These well-deserved promotions reflect the contributions Mark and Melissa have made in their respective disciplines and recognize the significant roles we expect them to play in our future success, said Steve Jorns, chief executive officer. Both have proven leadership skills and the expertise necessary to make effective contributions to our companys continued growth.

In his new position as vice president, business development and feasibility, he will be responsible for sourcing and pursuing hotel management and acquisition opportunities. Mark has a proven record of success with our development and acquisitions group, Jorns explained. His experience and contacts will be invaluable as we continue to expand our acquisition activities.
He holds a bachelors degree from St. Bonaventure University.
Melissa Thompson
A 15-year hospitality industry veteran, Melissa Thompson joined Interstates predecessor company, MeriStar Hotels & Resorts, in 1998, where she served in a variety of positions of increasing scope and responsibility, most recently as director of corporate communications. In her new position as corporate communications vice president, she will oversee all of the companys investor relations, crisis communications, employee communications and community relations activities. Previously, she was with the American Hotel & Lodging Association, where she was manager of communications.
Melissa has played an important role in helping the company to develop a cohesive communications strategy and clear message to the financial community, associates and the hotel community, Jorns remarked.

The parents of a young man who died after contracting meningitis are urging young people starting university or college this September to make sure they are vaccinated.
Tim Mason from Tunbridge Wells died after contracting meningococcal meningitis (MenW) in March 2018.
The apprentice electrical engineer was just 21.
Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust admitted serious failings in the moments leading up to his death.
His mother Fiona said: "He was a kind, bright, fun-loving young man.
"He was a very fit, very active 21-year-old. He contracted a winter flu virus, recovered from it, and a couple of days later he started feeling quite ill again and he went to see his GP who said there was definitely an infection of some sort, but as he was a very strong young man, very fit and healthy, she saw no reason for antibiotics and he would be able to fight it off.
"He came home and rested and later that night at 12.30 Tim started vomiting and was extremely ill, he was so ill that I dialled 111 to ask for advice."
Hours later, Tim went to A + E and was discharged with a list of symptoms to look out for.
She added: "Tim's symptoms did not include the meningitis symptoms, the usual ones that one is told to look out for like dislike of bright lights and stiff neck; the main symptoms that were evident was vomiting, a high temperature and a rapid heart rate.
"He got iller and iller at home and at 2pm I took him back to hospital. Tim was unable to walk and had been unable to walk on our first visit. At this point, he couldn't even sit up straight, he was desperately ill.
"He was admitted into the resuscitation unit at the hospital where they realised he was very ill.
"Tim died at 21.46pm that night which was 21 hours and 15 minutes after the first on-set of the symptoms.
"It was fast, frightening and he was terrified all the way through. He kept saying he thought he was dying from the first admission through to the second, and it's not something I would wish on anyone else.
"We found out that the disease Tim had contracted was Meningitis W which is fast, enters the blood stream very very quickly and took him away from us in 21 hours and 15 minutes.
"Tim should have been protected the vaccine. He was in priority group to be offered the vaccine but he was never offered it and we knew nothing about it."
The first dose of the MMR vaccine is offered to all one-year-olds. Children are given a second dose of MMR before they start school.
"It was fast, frightening and he was terrified all the way through..." Fiona Mason
Public Health England estimates that 30,000 children will be beginning school next month with no protection, and 90,000 children will have only had the first dose.
The vaccine which Tim would have been eligible for was the MenACWY which is offered to children in school at the age of 14.
Boris Johnson announced on Monday that the government will do more to tackle misinformation from anti-vaccination groups on social media.
Tim's father Gavin is urging young people aged between 18 and 25 to make sure that they are protected.
He said: "We discovered that this vaccine had been rolled out in 2015 quickly and rapidly because of this virulent Meningitis W.
"GPs were contracted to invite people in by letter in a specific age group - the age group that Tim was in - but for various reasons that didn't happen and we discovered it didn't happen right across the country.
"They just weren't being invited in the quantities they should."
They also discovered a fault with a software which was supposed to alert GPs to a potential eligible person coming in to their surgeries.
Gavin added: "We are desperate that this doesn't happen needlessly to others and that's why we are supporting Meningitis Now with this campaign."

We made a game time decision Sunday morning to take the day off from exercise. TLE wanted to defrost our Dometic fridge, go shopping, and get the wash done so it was an easy choice for her. On the other hand I only had to wash the Beetle, and dump the black tank so I had an easy day. Once those two tasks were completed I was able to retire to the 'lido deck' to watch some NFL football. With the daytime temp topping out at 82° F it was a perfect day to relax, and take a long nap......I even finished reading another book in the process. We keep talking how in about a month, or so we will look back fondly upon these idyllic, balmy days of November, but for now we are just enjoying the heck out of them.
Over the weekend I exchanged numerous texts with my brother and sister-in-law (Glenn and Laureen) detailing the trouble shooting they have been doing on their 1984 Newell to rectify a few issues they knew about when they bought the coach, plus one that came up after they got home. They are making good progress in rewiring their ignition which went south after they returned to Texas, and solving the air leaks in the air system, and are getting ready to replace all four of their electric heaters, all in preparation for our travels to Alaska this summer. They are a good team, and I am proud of their patience while trying to solve these problems, and their bravery for tackling them. They have gotten a lot of help from me, as well as from my friends on the Newell Gurus forum, and are well on their way to becoming true Newell Gurus.
By 4 pm it was beginning to cool off quickly on the 'lido deck' so we repositioned ourselves back inside for the duration of the late afternoon/early evening. After sundown I went outside to take a couple of pictures of our outdoor environment to demonstrate how great it looks now.....
.....especially after dark. This is one of those rare occasions where the pictures really do the subject being photographed justice. Even though our 'lido deck' is totally open air, it feels very private, and significantly expands our living area, all while enhancing our quality of life.

A market survey of 1,250 auto aftermarket professionals conducted days before this year's Automechanika Dubai reveals CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, Electric) mobility is already happening in a big way or will dominate the market in the Middle East within the next five years.
Held in May, the Automechanika Dubai Market Outlook survey suggests that despite this enormous change in direction for their industry 67% of respondents feel their companies are ready to face the changes that will inevitably arrive in the future, compared to 55% of the 1,300 respondents to the same question one year ago.
In fact, global auto aftermarket professionals believe they're more ready now than they were one year ago for imminent market changes, as new technologies, economic climate, and government policy play key roles in how the Middle East auto services industry will look in the next five years
Answered by distributors, manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, retailers, consultants and service providers, the survey showed that while technology is still the chief reason for change in the next five years, political and economic scenarios will have a bigger role to play. When asked what would be the reasons for future change in the Middle East auto aftermarket, 64% of respondents in 2019 cited change in automotive technology, versus 74% in 2018.
Meanwhile, 48% of respondents in 2019 believed that regular political and economic improvements or slowdowns will be the chief factors driving change in the next five years. This is six percentage points higher than in 2018, indicating external factors beyond the industry's control might have a bigger say in how the aftermarket looks in the future.
"The Automechanika Dubai Market Outlook is an annual survey we conduct every year to ascertain the current situation in the regional aftermarket, where it's headed, and where the potential opportunities are in the Middle East," said Mahmut Gazi Bilikozen, Show Director for Automechanika Dubai.
"It's clear that the automotive industry, and the aftermarket as a result, is undergoing a rapid transformation, but it's a positive indicator that industry professionals appear more confident their businesses can still survive and ultimately be more successful in a market that will no doubt look very different in years to come."
Presented at Automechanika Dubai's Innovation Zone, the survey shows that the perception that electric vehicle technology will challenge petrol and diesel the most has increased year-on-year, with 51% of respondents believing electric cars will be the chief challenger to the internal combustion engine, compared to 47% in 2018. Confidence in hybrid and hydrogen cell vehicles as the big challengers appears to have waned slightly year-on-year.
Tellingly, more than two thirds of the survey (68%) agreed that CASE mobility is re-shaping their industry, a figure which is 12 points higher than in 2018 (56%).
More than half (55%) also say they would expect to see Return on Investment (RoI) in alternative fuel vehicles repair equipment in five years if they were to invest in it, while a further 35% say RoI would be seen within two years.
But while 55% of respondents in 2019 (no change from 2018) indicated that customers had started approaching them for products and services for non-petrol or diesel engines, 61% of garage or workshop respondents had not yet invested in new equipment for electric vehicles. A further 35% said that, while they know what equipment would be needed, it was still too early to make this investment.
Respondents were also asked for their thoughts on which key aftermarket product groups would face the most disruption in the Middle East in the coming years, these comprising Parts & Components; Electronics & Systems; Accessories & Customizing; Repair & Maintenance; Car Wash, Care & Reconditioning; and Tyres & Batteries.
There was very little movement year-on-year in what product groups respondents perceived would face the most disruption. Parts & Components – the heart of the internal combustion engine – would face the most disruption in the next five years according to 56% of the survey sample in 2019, a slight drop from 59% in 2018.
This was followed by Electronics & Systems (37% in 2019, 35% in 2018), Repair & Maintenance (36% in 2019 and 2018), Accessories & Customizing (27% 2019; 26% 2018), Tyres & Batteries (23% 2019; 25% 2018), and Car Wash, Care & Reconditioning (12% in 2019; 14% 2018).

Master Gardener Kobahl
|Master Gardener Kobahl
General[edit | edit source]
Master Gardener Kobahl is one of senior hedge wizards of the Garden of Seborhin. He is also the mission access NPC for the Jennur's Horde mission.
Quests Involved In[edit | edit source]
Location[edit | edit source]
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
- "We hedge wizards keep the garden beautiful. It is our sacred duty from birth to death. We serve the garden and preserve the blessings Lyssa has bestowed upon Vabbi. It is said the seed from which the Seborhin grew was a gift from Lyssa herself. Of course the wealthy merchants, and indeed the three princes, pay more than they should for admittance. Beauty has its price, and even a hedge wizard needs to eat."
- We have managed to get some sense into Lohhaj and are ready to end this waking nightmare.
- "It is time to fight our final battle in hopes of saving the Seborhin and what little beauty remains in this world."
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Kobahl's may be be derived from the COBOL programming language or the planet Kobol from Battlestar Galactica. Another perhaps equally likely derivation is from the German word "kobold" (an underground spirit haunting mines; a gnome).

The Origin of Barite Deposits from the Archean
A study on the Barberton Greenstone Belt in South Africa
Astrobiologists supported in part by the Exobiology Program have pieced together the story of how barite deposits in the Barberton Greenstone Belt (BGB) of South Africa may have formed. The BGB dates back to the Archean, and can provide information about the environmental conditions that were present during this time in Earth's history when life was first gaining a foothold on our planet.
The researchers identified five different morphological types of barite at the site, all of which were associated with active faults and fractures in the underlying rock. This indicates that the barite originated from fluids containing barium that reached the surface from below. The research team believes that small, cool springs allowed shallow subsurface waters to vent to the surface. These waters then interacted with sulfate-bearing water, which triggered barite precipitation. This would mean that the barite deposits were not formed in open marine waters, and therefore hold little information about the composition of seawater in the Archean.
The study, "Crustal fracturing, unconformities, and barite deposition, 3.26–3.23 Ga, Barberton Greenstone Belt, South Africa," was published in the journal Precambrian Research. The work was supported by NASA Astrobiology through the Exobiology Program.

Weirdness & The Beauty of Quantum Mechanics
Quantum Mechanics
As mathematical machinery that can capture the essence of the micro world, the formalism of quantum mechanics is an indubitable success. However, the attempts to realize the inner workings of the micro world in terms of our long-cherished classical notions of reality are doomed to fail. Physicists began to comprehend that the universe is constructed quite differently from how they had supposed.
With any theory at a certain point, you can't help asking 'so why things behave this way? where do these rules come from?' Unlike other areas in science where experiments could be done systematically and conclusions could be drawn through proper observations and measurements, for quantum mechanics, things are not so simple. We never could say that quantum mechanics is a theory that one could test by observation and measurement but rather it's a theory about what it means to 'observe and measure'.
Also Read: Quantum Fields (Real or Not)
From now on my attention goes a little deeper to the paradoxes and puzzles of quantum mechanics. We will see the weirdness & beauty of quantum mechanics. Starting with the most famous of them all the 'Schrodinger's Cat'.
Schrodinger's Cat
For a normal person, a cat kept inside a box is nothing much to think about. But for a physicist like Erwin Schrodinger, this scenario seems to be a quantum puzzle that woke him up at night.
Schrodinger imagined a cat together with a decaying radioactive source kept inside an opaque box. There is a chance of 50 percent for the decay to happen and it causes the breaking of a cyanide bottle and the cat to be killed. With a classical approach each time the box is opened and it's verified whether the cat is dead or alive. One finds that it is dead half the times and alive in the other half. Now suppose that quantum mechanics is applied to the cat and a quantum state | alive ) or | dead ) is given to it, one could expect mysterious results.
Prior to the measurement that is before anyone opens the box and checks the condition of the cat it is represented by a superposition of states |alive) or |dead) given as
|ψ) = 1 √2 { |alive) + |dead) }
I have no further intention to add any equations as I remember the words of Professor Stephen Hawking who once said: "with each equation included in a book it would halve the sales". Now going back to the expression representing the state of the cat anyone with basic knowledge in math could figure out that there is an equal probability of 1,2 each for the cat to be both alive and dead before measurement.
Now the question arises as to what is so special about measurement?
The involvement of a conscious observer who measures the state of the system forces the system to enter into any of its eigenstates or in other words the wave function collapses by the act of measuring the state. This is why in this case as soon as we open the box we are left with a cat either dead or alive and not a superposed state.
There are many interpretations in quantum mechanics, the one about the superposition of states before observing the system is the famous Copenhagen interpretation. That means the act of measuring affects the system, causing the set of probabilities to reduce to any one of the possible values immediately after the measurement. Here the involvement of a conscious observer for carrying out measurement is a subject of debate even today. Philosophers and scientists are yet to find a proper meaning for the word 'conscious observer'. For time being let's focus our attention on a famous paradox put forward by Einstein and hence leave the Schrodinger's cat in its superposed state.
EPR Paradox (Einstein, Podolski & Rosen )
Einstein, as we know is the most prominent theoretical physicist to have walked the earth. Einstein's viewpoint of reality was in disagreement with that of quantum theory. He started to doubt the completeness aspect of quantum mechanics. For this, he analyzed the description of many-particle systems in quantum mechanics and argued that either quantum mechanics is an incomplete theory or else one needs to give up the long-cherished notion of locality.
Einstein along with Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen arrived at these conclusions in their groundbreaking 1935 paper-usually called the EPR paradox. The main focus of that paper was the entangled electron spin states. Let's suppose that there are 2 electrons with each pointing either up or down giving it spin up or spin down state respectively. Now that imagine these 2 electrons are correlated or entangled and somehow their properties are interwind. These entangled electrons are now sent to two different places A and B. If a scientist at A measures the spin of that electron he might find that it is spin up. Immediately he could conclude that the one at B is spin down.
Danish physicist Niels Bohr said that quantum properties like the spin exist only when we observe it. Until that point, they don't have any particular value. As soon as the spin of the electron at location A is measured and found to be spin up the one at B turns out to be spin down. This 'instantaneous communication' was the core of the EPR paper.
But that's impossible because Einstein's theory of special relativity prohibits any signal to travel faster than light. If Bohr's intuition was right that quantum particles do not have the properties at all until they are measured, then the EPR experiment contains a magical effect that Einstein called 'spooky action at a distance'. Einstein found the situation unsatisfactory. He refused to believe that at the fundamental level nature is statistical. 'God does not play dice' was his famous quote showing his disagreement with the foundations of quantum mechanics.

The quantum puzzles described above are just two among a lot of other mindblowing quantum phenomena. If we dig deep enough into the scientific and philosophical implications of entanglement one could realize that at the beginning of time every atom, electron, quark and all other elementary particles were situated in a space so tiny that their wavefunctions overlapped. So during the initial stages of the big bang, everything was together or we could say things were in an entangled state and even with the evolution of space and time all the species share some common traits because of the initial entanglement we all had way back in time.
Maybe one day scientists would discover the role entanglement in developing emotional connections we feel towards other creatures. With that being said it could be summarised by indebting the words of the famous Physicist Max Born who once said,
I'm now convinced that Theoretical Physics is actual Philosophy.

The King Slots
The King video slot by Endorphina is a popular title by this company based on a medieval theme with good features.
Medieval themes have been used a tremendous amount to the point that it cannot be understated in virtually every type of media that we have ever had. When a theme that is this common is used in a slot, it has to have something about it that stands out if it's going to be popular. Endorphina's video slot The King manages to do this through a combination of value-packed features and a pay schedule based around giving players opportunities for big wins.

Layout of The King Slot
The base layout for this online slot allows for some pretty even bet sizes, which makes it easy to have simple bankroll management strategies. This is the case with many games by this company. This particular slot has five reels and three rows along with 10 paylines. You can bet between $0.10 and $100 per spin because you have coins that go from $0.01 to $1 apiece and the ability to bet as many as 10 coins per payline on each spin.
In terms of choosing bet sizes, we suggest that you start off a bit lower than you normally would when you play The King video slot. The reason for this is that the volatility is pretty high, and the correct bankroll management adjustment to a high-volatility slot is to use smaller bet sizes and longer sessions. This will smooth out a lot of the swings and give you better chances of hitting features and big payouts that will bring your overall session into the green.
Wild Crown Symbol
In The King video slot, there are two symbols that are the most important. One of them is the crown symbol, and that's because it's the wild. In this game, you'll have an opportunity to take down a huge 9,000x top jackpot whenever you line up five of this wild on a payline. As if that wasn't enough, a secondary prize of 2,500x can be yours if you get four of a kind as well. Three of a kind gets you 250x, and just two of a kind pays 10x.
An important note on the two-of-a-kind win is that this game always pays the single-largest prize available for a given payline. Therefore, if you have two wilds that would make a three of a kind winning combination that pays more than 10x, then you will receive that prize instead.
The wild symbol also acts as a multiplier to any winning combinations that use at least one of them. This is a 2x multiplier, so you can double your payouts if it includes at least one wild. The crown substitutes for any other symbol except for the scattered lion symbol that we'll look at below.
Scattered Lion Symbol
The lion is the scatter symbol in The King online slot. Five of a kind anywhere on the reels gives you a 5,000x payout, which is the second-largest in the game as a whole. It's easy to see how this is one of the two most important symbols in the game considering these symbols do not have to line up on a payline to give you such a large payout.
You can also take down 200x for four of a kind, 50x for three of a kind or 20x for two of a kind. We said it above, but we'll say it again: The wild symbol does not substitute for the scatter.
Free Spins Bonus Feature
You'll find a single bonus feature in this game, and it's based on a set of free spins. While you can get payouts for just two of a kind of the scatter, you'll actually need three of a kind or more to trigger the free spins bonus feature. Players will be given 15 free spins in this bonus round, and all wins are hit with a 3x multiplier. This puts the largest payouts in the bonus round at 27,000x for five wilds and 15,000x for five of the scatter. Obviously, these are particularly large jackpots.
It's worth pointing out that the 3x multiplier from the free spins combines with the 2x multiplier from the wilds to give you total multipliers of 6x for any regular winning combination that includes at least one wild symbol.
Mid-range Symbols and Payouts
Aside from the large, four-figure wins that you can get with the wild and scatter symbols, players also have opportunities to pick up a number of mid-range wins. There are two different soldier symbols, one of a knight and one of an archer, and each of them pay 750x for five of a kind. You can win with two of a kind or more of these two symbols as well.
From there, you can pick up a 400x payout for five of the chest of gold. Five of the helmet or five of the shield with two swords crossed behind it can earn you a 250x payout. All three of these symbols require at least three of a kind for a winning payout.
Low-end Card Rank Symbols
In The King video slot, players can get some reasonable pays for the card rank symbols as well. These symbols are all put together with different colors in a medieval-style font, so they look great and fit in perfectly with the overall theme of the game.
Five of the red A or orange K will earn 125x for players. You can also pick up 100x for five of the yellow Q, blue J, purple 10 or teal 9. Of these card symbols, they all need at least three of a kind for a payout with the exception of the 9. You can win with just two of a kind with the 9 symbol.
It's worth pointing out that the lowest-paying symbols in this game still give you at least three-figure wins for five fo a kind, which is much better than some games that are structured so that you get particularly low wins for five of a kind of the bottom-tier symbols.
- The theme is handled very well with strong graphics that make sense without resorting to over-the-top 3D effects.
- Players can get a ton of value from the free spins bonus feature with the 3x multiplier.
- The wild symbols offer a great 9,000x top jackpot along with a 2x multiplier when they are a part of other wins.
- The overall structure of the game does not push the envelope in any real way and is much like what you could get from a number of other games.
- Only one bonus feature seems to detract from the potential that this slot shows it could have had.
In Summary
The King video slot by Endorphina gets a lot of play because it brings a very strong, yet basic, style of gameplay with a good theme. It has a strong bonus feature and a valuable wild symbol, and when you combine those things, it gives players a good experience. If you can handle the high level of volatility in this slot, then you'll get a lot out of it. However, remember to adjust your bet sizes as needed to compensate for the swings if you want to have better chances at smooth sailing in this slot.
