SOMOS OS MAJORES!

SOMOS OS MAIORES!

I thought I would share some truly iconic photos. The first was posted to social media by a dear friend: The aerial stock photo shows the "Sagres" on the Rio Tejo headed out to sea, followed by countless escort boats wishing it a safe journey. While America seems hell bent on trashing statues and monuments, the Portuguese are proud of theirs. The caption in the bottom of the picture reads SOMOS OS MAIORES (We are the greatest) and VIVA PORTUGAL (Long live Portugal).

The Portuguese were the original discoverers of the Americas, and played a huge role in developing trade around the World. The language is the seventh or eighth most spoken.

The "Sagres" is one of several Sailing Vessels that are sometimes available for booking in foreign ports. They are used as training vessels for lucky young men of the Portuguese Navy, a division of their armed forces, who get a lifetime experience of serving aboard one of these magnificent sailing vessels. They are a reminder of an era that once was, and shows the complexities of mastering the wind for effective transport and trade.

IMMUNITY!

WHAT IS "IMMUNITY?"

Fresh Air!

The subject of immunity has been debated and talked about over the last several months, thanks to the scary "Chinese Virus." 

As an individual, I have lived through at least SIX different "pandemics" and was never adversely affected by ANY of them!  I developed a natural "herd immunity" to any problem by being normal. I had zero problems! So what makes this so much worse?

FEAR! 

And WHO is generating the fear? Why governments are, of course, assisted by the press. And corporations with an interest in pharmaceuticals are, of course. Big Pharma is  also in collusion with governments and the help of the press. Any "second opinion" is not only discarded, but censored and made fun of. It has always been like that, but much worse this time around.

This whole side show (in my experience and estimation) is nothing more than a Draconian Power Grab of gigantic proportions. It may be the real thing, or just a trial run for both World Government and identifying and controlling the entire population. It won't work, but it sure can cause disruptions! The object may be to see how far people can be pushed before total control takes place.

In case you did not know it, there is such a thing as THE INTERNATIONAL SANITARY STANDARDS. They have been around since 1951. They are basic rules of conduct for countries around the world and most, if not all, are signatories to its provisions. Today it is more commonly referred to as the International Health Regulations.

Because there often are outbreaks of disease in certain countries, often due to poor sanitation and other causes, whenever such situations occur and diseases break out, the proper way to minimize such outbreaks is QUARANTINING those who HAVE THE DISEASE. That helps minimize spreading the stuff around. If you travel and come to the United States where the disease does not occur, you can be quarantined for a couple of weeks. Reasonable precautions to take! It is no different than keeping your child at home (instead of sending him to school) when he has a cold! Easy to understand and very easy to deal with.

In our previous article we showed how this worked in the Republic of China (Taiwan) and how successful it has been.  

But in the rest of the world, we were told in the beginning by "experts" who are totally incompetent, not to worry about it, because it was just China and the rest of the World would not be affected! Then they changed their tune and said it was the MOST DANGEROUS Pandemic to hit mankind in history! 

There has been so much misinformation bandied about by so called "experts" who all have extreme ties to the "big pharma" complex and whose sole purpose seems to be control and making huge gobs of money off peoples stupidity and innocence!

There is nothing rational or sensible about what is going on. When diseases that are transmissible by any means, it is common to isolate it. In the United States the OPPOSITE has become the "norm!" Isolate the healthy and LOCK them DOWN! This is sheer lunacy and against all rational actions. There is nothing better than fresh air and sunshine in all cases, and to stop commerce, human interaction and all activities is insane! The trouble is, you cannot keep people locked up indefinitely! They are going to escape! Making examples of some of them does not deter future actions!

A Walk in the Woods is Healthy!

Governors have been caught breaking the quarantine by letting their families go about their businesses, while telling everyone else they must follow directions! Lawsuits will become a flood in the United States! It is ILLEGAL to lock-down people. It violates the Fourteenth Amendment as well as a host of others!

Many of the most draconian actions in the United States by Governors are those WITH TIES TO THE PHARMACEUTICAL industry! Several of them have said that lock downs will continue until there is a vaccine! And in the meantime, United States and Great Britain continue to allow people to come into the country from abroad WITHOUT HEALTH CHECKS, but want the population of the countries restricted!

AHA!

So the "pandemic" isn't real then?????!

Of course it isn't! It is just another variety of the flu! It may be worse or not than previous strains. But if you say that, you are royally condemned and sometimes censored by others, the government, the press and all the usual propaganda outlets! 

Masks are fine for people who cough and work around others in a medical environment. But long-term mask wearing for everyone means you inhale CO2 and that has adverse effects on the body. We are meant to inhale Oxygen and expel Carbon dioxide!

Deciding what is an "essential" business and what isn't, who may remain open and who can not is lunacy. Everyone has an essential business! If it does not operate, it goes broke!  When enough businesses go broke we have a DEPRESSION. When more than 25% of the jobs disappear, you have a disaster.

Interestingly, before this so called Pandemic arrived, there were preparations made for such an occurrence! A coincidence, or did someone have advanced knowledge of this event? It is a fair question. Certain large health organizations actually advertised for employees prior to this "event!"

The Negative Ions from Waterfalls

is Healthy and Beneficial!

Folks, logic would dictate that keeping healthy through good diet and decent living is the best "cure." And logic would dictate that if sick, proper actions be taken. But to destroy society to "save lives" is a very cruel hoax perpetrated by very evil men and women. 

It is more an more important than ever now, that

 individuals KEEP THEIR OWN COUNSEL, take actions appropriate for them without hindrance. Follow your heart and stay well....

THE "BALONEY VIRUS"

THE "BALONEY" VIRUS....

The World has been thrown into a free-fall over the Chinese Corona Virus. Yes, it may be more "scary" that other flu strains, but it is still just the flu.

Governments of the World, which seem to  be marching in lockstep to the beat of a hidden DICTATOR, have screwed up the lives of  millions of people, most likely, for no reason.

Bill Gates and his band of criminals are well known to have caused disease and suffering in India and Africa. Bill Gates who could not keep computers free of "viruses," now wants to tell the World how to deal with human "viruses." He is a quack of the worst sort, a ghoul if you will. In co-operation with the WHO (World Health Organization), he is involved with pretty shady stuff.

Please read the following article, published today (May 2, 2020). It may be THE MOST IMPORTANT ARTICLE YOU WILL EVER READ ON THE SUBJECT of what to do and what NOT TO DO! 

Here is the link:

THOSE "PESKY" "STUDIES!"

THOSE "PESKY" "STUDIES!"

The business of statistics is a huge business. It is more often than not, a huge racket. The results often depend on WHO COMMISSIONS a study. If a tobacco company, for example, commissions a study on cigarettes, they are not interested in NEGATIVE information. They want results they can USE! This is true in almost all cases.

We are not suggesting that there are not some studies that are meaningfukl and truthful.  There are. And they are helpful to further knowledge and science.

During the phony virus "Pandemic" there has been so many conflicting statistics put out, that nothing that is shown to be "figures" can be relied upon at all. It takes years to accurately comple somewhat truthful statistics, so be wary of what you see! 

SEEING IS NOT BELIEVING! 

Today, I posted to my Facebook account a list of silly "studies" as a parody. Here it is!

THOSE PESKY “STUDIES!”

Have you noticed during the “Baloney-Virus Crisis,” how many “STUDIES” there are that pop up to justify all kinds of things?! The reason is that in the “business of statistics,” they can most always be “MANIPULATED” to “show” desired results! People buy into it all the time! I have written a few to chuckle over!

1) Studies have shown that boys are 97% more likely to chase girls than other boys!

2) Studies have shown that most Hollywierd “actors” these days are left “wing-nuts!”

3) Studies have shown that the reason Michael Moore (the producer) is so FAT is because eating too much junk food RUNS in his family!

4) Studies have shown that Vaccinated Cars have the least accidents!

5) Studies have shown that Pregnant Females have the most children!

6) Studies have shown that “Sheeple” eat too much SHEEP MEAT and run around saying “Baa” to everything they disagree with!

7) Studies have shown that men don’t give birth to children for the simple reason they don’t know how!

8) Studies have shown that most newspaper editors went to “Lefty” Universities where they learned how to CENSOR Political Incorrectness and how to pretend to be tolerant!

9) Studies have shown that people who gossip a lot seldom know what they are talking about!

10) Studies have shown that people who wear their jeans backwards, are more likely perverts than not!

11) Studies have shown that children who run around in big circles often grow up to be “big wheels!”

12) Studies have shown that imitators make the best followers!

13) Studies have shown that most politicians never “LIE” about anything, they just “STRETCH” the truth about everything!

14) Studies have shown that if you take great pictures, it is only because you have a great camera!

15) Studies have shown that “dictators” are never wrong, they just make intended “mistakes!”

16) Studies have shown that if you study a lot you will eventually study so much you will know all about everything!

Sometimes it is a lot of fun to see what sort of silly stuff can be imagined just to maintain a "sense of humor" in trying times!

Enjoy

 and try to come up with your own "studies!"

LOCKDOWN: NORWAY 1940!

LOCK-DOWN: NORWAY 1940

 The Norwegian Flag

The World currently is in a Lock-down Mode due to the so-called Chinese Virus. Sometimes, the virus looks a bit like an escapee from a laboratory! Whether accidentally released or whether weaponized, it is worthwhile to compare what is happening now with what happened 80 years ago to the Kingdom of Norway. 

There are significant deaths every year from many causes in the United States and elsewhere in the World, including car accidents, "regular flu" strains, diabetes, heart trouble and other popular problems.

However, none of them have resulted in lock-downs!

 We don't vaccinate cars to keep them from being involved in accidents, we do not ban cars, and we do not interfere in the lives of everyone else because someone is sick! But now, suddenly, it is fashionable to engage in all kinds of unconstitutionally illegal actions. This includes telling people where they can go, what they can buy and where they can do it, and who is an "essential" business and who is not! Telling people they cannot swim, surf, ski, gather in groups or other forms of restriction is the work of demons and dictators, not actions of so called "Republics," "Democracies," or whatever countries claim to call themselves! To make matters worse, by creating a "panic" situation, governments are literally trying to get away with murder. People are easily panicked!

Adolph Hitler, who is not among the most favored of 

WW2 leaders said....

"How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think...."

He also said....

"Life is like a game, there could be many players. If you don't play with them, they'll play with you."

Whether you like or dislike Hitler, is not up for discussion here. All we are concerned with is that his two comments make much sense. Leaders, no matter who they are, don't like independent, thinking people. There is also no question we are being lied to and played with every day by leaders, corporations, the press, schools and a host of others no-gooders!

German Cruiser "Blucher" 

It was 9 April 1940 and all was well in Independent and Neutral Norway. On that day the German invasion of the country began with a shock and a bang. NOBODY SAW IT COMING!

From a purely military perspective, it was one of the greatest military moves in history up to that time. Berlin simply made plans without telling more than a couple of top officials, so until the day of the invasion, NOBODY knew!

There was a reason for the secrecy. The British, whose political leaders are famous for arguing everything in the press, even having riots in Parliament, made the mistake of tipping off the Germans that Britain wanted to invade to "save the Norwegians from the Germans!" The Germans, on the other hand, wanted to "save the Norwegians from the British," and in the process, make sure Germany's supply of Iron ore from Sweden was not compromised by the British!

British soldiers were in Norway at the time. They acted like typical British military, full of superiority, did not trust the Norwegian Commander and failed to take his advice. It is always stupid for outsiders to ignore the advice of those who live there! Suffice it to say, the British were forced to leave and were rescued by the Admiralty before becoming prisoners of the Germans.

The German's, on the other hand, also made some bad mistakes. In the North of Norway, they assumed the British were holed up in several towns and ended up destroying the towns. This had the effect of not winning the hearts and minds of Norwegians, instead, it enraged them! Even today Germans are not held in great esteem there.

The Fate of the "Blucher"

While traveling up the Oslo Fjord to seize Oslo, the capital, the German Battleship "Blucher" collided with a couple of well-aimed cannonballs and sank in the fjord with more than a thousand dead. The Germans were unhappy with the resistance, and LOCKED DOWN the country. It did not happen immediately, but gradually. The more the resistance, the greater the restrictions. At first, private business and banking was not bothered, but eventually loss of materials and supplies had an effect and people went to barter and other ways of obtaining needed raw materials. 

From our family standpoint, most of our family survived the war intact. However, one member of our extended family lost their home to an errant bomb that demolished their house. The husband, wife and son were not there at the time, but they spent the next five years homeless and scrambling to find housing.
.
I have already written a book about all this, so no need to rewrite it here. The point I want to make is that Norway lived under a dictatorship for five long years and into this came the Norwegian Resistance known as "Hjemmefronten," or the "Homefront." My dad, Knut Scharnhorst Hesstvedt became the District Commander in the Gjoevik area of Norway during the war.

There were many Norwegian Patriots and Heroes. We do not have enough space here to even begin to list them all. But we can mention two others, the subject of popular books. One was Gunvald Tomstad, who operated a Morse Code transmitter on the south coast of Norway for two years under the noses of the occupiers. He even joined the National Socialists as a member, much to the annoyance of his neighbors who thought of him as a first rate traitor. He even kept his mother in the dark, who was terrified her son was a terrible turncoat. She was hated almost as much in the community as him. Feeling sorry for her one day, he said, "It's not what you think, mother!" From that day on she played the martyred mom and told the world she had no son. The ruse worked! Gunvald Tomstad was able to give London and the British much information about German activities in Norway until he finally was exposed by the Gestapo. He could "smell" it coming, and fled to Sweden, then to England. He sat out the war there, returning a hero, and with a commission as a First Lieutenant in the Norwegian Army.

HELLE GAARD or Helle Farm, a farmstead inherited by Gunvald Tomstad, became headquarters for the local National Socialist Party as well as site of a secret Morse Code Transmitter operated by Tomstad for a period of two years. It was a direct link between Home Station in England and Norway. Here is what the place looked like in 1945:

In an article this writer has not released for publication, I detail the circumstances that led to the sinking of the German ship "The Bismarck":

The binoculars scanned the Skagerrak intently; a battleship with three destroyers was headed into the North Sea west of Kristiansand, Norway! It was the Third Reich’s “Bismarck!” Quickly, Ships Handler Viggo Axelssen made notes, folds and passes the paper on. It travels through five hands: the last is a young lady who sticks it in her stocking, makes her way through Nazi-occupied Flekkefjord, up the hill to Helle (heh leh) Gaard (goh rd) where she gives it to a young man. At a glance, he codes the message and uses his hidden “sender” (a small Morse Code Transmitter) to transmit under the Code Name “Tom” to London “Home Station” as the Norwegian Section was known. Within six days the “Bismarck” is sunk by the British. It was late May 1941.

 An American writer of Norwegian Cookbooks Astrid Karlsen Scott, penned several books about the Norwegian Underground. One called IN THE SHADOW OF THE GESTAPO, is in English and still is available on the internet. She interviewed Gunvald Tomstad's daughter who provided much interesting information on her famous father.

And our last book featured here is called WE DIE ALONE and is in English, telling the survival story of Jan Baalsrud. In March of 1943, a team of expatriate Norwegian commandos left England to invade German occupied Norway. They intended to help and organize Norwegian Resistance. They were betrayed and ambushed. It was a tragedy that resulted in all killed except Baalsrud. The operation was torpedoed by a traitorous Norwegian who informed the Gestapo. Baalsrud spent more than a year hiding in barns, snow-caves and endured a mind boggling, gripping adventure and incredible hardships before eventually making it to neutral Sweden assisted by the Laps, now called Samis.

There were many more heroes of Hjemmefronten, most who are footnotes to history. The three listed here at least have books written about them. There is much to learn from them not only about resistance to tyranny, but also how to survive such periods.
As the years go by, it becomes more and more difficult to keep these stories alive. That is why it is so important to preserve the efforts these men made, sometimes giving their lives in support of what they believed was right......

Just remember that LOCKDOWNS are always initiated by tyrants and NEVER in any way shape or form is for the common good. In all instances, DESTRUCTION is the primary result. Remember also that the pathway to HELL is paved with "good intentions."
The madness created by the German invasion is no different than today's madness about a mythical virus. 

It is against the Constitution for the Federal Government to lock down society. The same can be said for the State Governments. Many sheriff's in the US are openly questioning the right of any bureaucrat to interfere in lawful activities of people. A growing number of people are also questioning the very strange circumstances, lies, misleading statistics and the misinformation bandied about concerning this affair. It's time to just say NO!
