COVID-19 Vaccine Trials and Pregnant Women - What Did Pfizer Know?
While I have stepped back from commenting on the COVID-19 pandemic, every so often there is a story that needs to be told. As some of you may be aware, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was forced by court order to release the documents that it relied on to approve Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine despite insisting that they needed 75 years to release an estimated 450,000 pages. The court order forced the FDA to release the data within 8 months (starting in March 2022) which has led to a massive amount of data for the outside world to pick through to ascertain what Pfizer and the ... read more

Inner or self- government has to do with degrees of awareness, also called tuning, consciousness, sensitivity, mystical understanding and oneness. The urge of mankind to evolve relates alot to the role that mankind has in the larger scheme of things, that role having to do with reason or the fundamental logic or christic light, true reason. This is ancient then and sometimes quite forgotten in some eras on the Earth. There can be a block in understanding where, for example, the use of zero in math is not understood. Then someone or a group decide to address the gap or glitch. By the... read more
