The “ebola outbreak” is just a cover for arsenic and mercury poisoning in the DR Congo gold mining region. The “outbreak” also serves as a fundraiser for vaccine companies and organizations. If Big Pharma are so great why do we have constant ‘Pandemic Scares’ ?

Police officers are guarding the illegal mining in River Yala. Heavy machines have been stationed inside the river to mine gold. This is the same area where Ebola quarantine facility was to be stationed. Not Ebola but our minerals.

Honeybees are dying everywhere - experts suggest populations have declined between 60 to 80% in just the last several years across America. Bees are being found to have an extraordinary high amount of heavy metals in their system, at levels that would cause Alzheimer’s in Humans. Bees are essential to ecosystems and food production around the world - they decline in population numbers isn’t exclusive to America - it’s happening everywhere.

Western and Central Europe has a break from the real cold at present but it looks likely to return to much of Europe. Uncertainty if it will reach us in Ireland at present. European Gas prices have risen sharply in recent days and gas storage levels in Europe are just above 50%.

I asked Satou Sabally why she and the Mercury enjoy being underestimated. “To me, it’s a disrespect to what those two (Kahleah Copper and Alyssa Thomas) have done. They’re gold medalists. They’re all-stars. To put disrespect on people who have literally been in the league for so long, that just fuels us.”

The Hidden Dangers of Mercury in Vaccines: A Deep Dive with Dr. Suzanne Humphries Dr. Suzanne Humphries, a physician and vaccine safety advocate, exposes the unsettling truth about mercury in vaccines. Once widely used in MMR and flu vaccines as an antimicrobial, mercury (in the form of thimerosal) was added to kill microbes and ensure a "clean" final product. But at what cost? Mercury is a potent neurotoxin with no safe place in the human body. Dr. Humphries explains that vaccine production involves complex, often unsavory processes: growing viruses in animal-derived cells (from cow pus, monkey kidneys, or tumor cells) and using animal blood, antibiotics, and even mercury to keep cultures viable. The result? A product that might be free of deadly microbes but now contains mercury—a substance so toxic that if a mercury-containing vaccine vial breaks, hazmat teams are called in. Yet, this same substance is deemed "safe" to inject into infants as young as six months. The distinction between ethylmercury (used in vaccines) and methylmercury (found in fish) is often cited to downplay concerns. Ethylmercury supposedly leaves the body faster, but Dr. Humphries warns that all mercury is harmful. Once in the body, mercury can cross the blood-brain barrier—especially during inflammation—and deposit in critical areas like the brain and adrenal glands. Unlike fish, humans lack efficient mechanisms to excrete mercury without interventions like chelation. Even at low levels, this neurotoxin can wreak havoc. Dr. Humphries questions the logic: mercury is only "acceptable" in vaccines, dental fillings, or toxic landfills. If it’s too dangerous for the environment, why is it injected into children? She also highlights that aluminum, another vaccine ingredient, poses similar risks by crossing the blood-brain barrier. The science is clear: neurotoxins have no place in our bodies. It’s time to rethink vaccine safety. Why are we risking our children’s health with substances that require hazmat cleanup? Share this post to spark a conversation and demand transparency.

🚨 BREAKING: Secretary Bobby Kennedy formally asks ALL global health authorities worldwide to remove MERCURY from vaccines, now that the U.S. has done it "Why do we call it dangerous in batteries, over-the-counter medications and makeup, but acceptable in vaccines and dental fillings?!" "Now that America has removed mercury from all vaccines, I call on EVERY global health authority and every party to this convention to do the same." "Manufacturers have confirmed that they can produce mercury-free single-dose vaccines without interrupting supply." "There is no excuse for inaction or holding stubbornly to the status quo. Let's honor and protect humanity and our children and creation from mercury." RFK Jr. is CRUSHING it. 👏
