Very interesting. I have had at the back of my mind doubts about vitamins and supplements and the business behind them, the interest behind them and wondering if they still exist for our benefit or...
 
A colleague of mine, Dr. David Jernigan treats vaccine injured patients successfully in Tennessee. He called me after I posted the results on Infrared Spectroscopy and electrical conductivity of live blood and confirmed all of my findings. He shared with me, that a short time ago some family members were eating meat and got very ill from it. Dr. Jernigan had developed a method to capture the frequency from a vaccinated rubbery clot of a deceased person and has developed a scientific way for detecting that frequency. He checked his ill family member, who tested positive. Then he checked the meat they ate and it had the same frequency of the cadaver blood clot. Subsequently he went to his local grocery store and checked meat products, and both organic and inorganic beef meats had the same frequency emission. He wanted me to go buy meat at my grocery store and do live blood analysis on different products to confirm his findings.

I have been wondering why I have been seeing every unvaccinated person in my office with contaminated blood. I have also seen an increasing amount of people with persistent severe diarrhea, that is lasting for months, but turns out to be negative when tested for ova and parasites or stool cultures for bacteria. I was suspecting vaccine shedding, chemtrail spraying, nasal swabs, masks, and contamination through synthetic biology named “ Covid and Long Covid”. Many are saying that what we are seeing in the blood are parasites, but they are not. They are self assembly hydrogel based synthetic life forms, more akin to microplastics but biologically engineered.

On another forum I was doing an update to a 2011 web-bot report which covers this time period. I can post it here if you want, however, I don't usually post such things here.

Basically the bots were picking up in 2011 (12-years ago) what I think are the mRNA injections into cattle, pigs, seafood and more. I put out a 2nd alert to the members there as I've been watching this for a while now.

* Web bot returned words are in square brackets [ ]
It's basically:
[meat die off][bad blood].

^-- The [bad blood] if it is manifesting IMO will be the 'clots' and other blood issues that the vaccinated get. They haven't been able to infect everyone and time is running out so this is likley the next plan. It is likley (a guess) that there's the strong possibility of transfection which means an unvaccinated person gets the same mRNA issues. I didn't know what exactly it would be 12-years ago but it seems to be manifesting now.

That report also a indicates a [mass poisoning episode].

I'm cutting out all meat for now (unless I go home). I'd be very careful right now.
 
Jess after reading your post: I started wondering what if the meat supplied onboard vessels (me being a seaman) contains this "synthetic life forms" and what I will eat (as you can not bring food for about 5 months with you from home).
Hi Uperios, although I'm in a different context, I too have the same questions about the difficulty of identifying which meat might be contaminated, although I think the article mentions mostly meat sold in supermarkets in USA, o I do not know if this is being applied in other countries.
I think the best option is to buy from local farmers, who produce organically, depending on the area in which you are located.
On the other hand, maybe you can do some health balancing by using detoxifiers and supplements, in the health area of this forum you can find many related threads.
 

STOCKHOLM, April 6 (Reuters) - A state actor's involvement in the blast of the Nord Stream pipelines last year is the "absolute main scenario", though confirming identity will prove difficult, the Swedish prosecutor investigating the attack said on Thursday.
Ljungqvist said it could not be completely
ruled out that an independent group, as opposed to a state actor, was behind the attack, but that it was unlikely.

"There are certain companies that have certain special missions that mean they could, in theory, carry this out," he said. "We don't rule out anything, but that it is a state actor who is directly or at least indirectly behind this is of course our absolute main scenario, given all the circumstances."

So, to cut a long story short: we're looking for a state actor. Which states should we be looking at? They don't like to say.

It's so obvious that this is all damage control, watching them skirt around the issue is just embarrassing. It would take guts to break rank, of course, since it's likely that one or more NATO countries would then be implicated. Maybe Sweden itself. They essentially formed a pact. The C's confirmed this.
 
It’s getting more scarier as each days passing, now they are making fake chicken meat. Maybe we have to stop eating meat.

(Natural News) Artificial chicken meat grown in stainless steel “bioreactors” is the next thing to hit the American market, thanks tothe U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The corrupt federal regulatory agency has green-lighted not just one but two different lab-grown “chicken meat” products for human consumption: one produced by Upside Foods and the other by GOOD Meat, both based out of California (GOOD Meat also has an office in Singapore).

Last year, the FDA announced that the laboratory-derived “chicken” made by Upside Foods is “safe to eat,” which means the company can soon start mass producing it for the consumer market.

“To manufacture its meat, Upside Foods harvests cells from live animals, chicken tissue, and uses the cells to grow meat in stainless-steel tanks known as bioreactors,” one report explains.

The FDA proudly announced that it has “no further questions” about the safety of Upside Foods fake meat, which Commissioner Robert M. Califf declared to be safe for human consumption.

“The world is experiencing a food revolution,” Califf said.

“Advancements in cell culture technology are enabling food developers to use animal cells obtained from livestock poultry, and seafood in the production of food with these products expected to be ready for the U.S. market in the near future.”

(Related: Check out our earlier coverage from last year about the abomination known as lab-grown “meat” and why you should avoid eating it at all costs.)
 
In the future we could certainly lose meat. Or have it greatly reduced, or just too suspicious to deal with. (Even talk now that the supply we are being given may be tainted/poisoned) But, thanks to Latin American cultures having gone in and out of extreme conditions, for centuries we have the “go around”.

Beans & Rice: With a few simple spices they become a delicious meal and will support life just fine. Add and pepper and a tortilla and gooooood😊
 
So, Ukrainian grain that was not meant for food production is now on Polish tables. I wonder how this will cause domestic prices of grain to fall, rendering some farmers here bankrupt, and inflation of prices in the next year.

Flour producers bought Ukrainian technical grain. There is an investigation by the prosecutor's office​

Cereal


Technical grain from Ukraine was sold as Polish food to the largest flour producers in the country. The District Prosecutor's Office in Zamość has launched a "large investigation" - informs "Rzeczpospolita".

The investigation is a reaction to the notification of the Provincial Inspectorate of Agricultural and Food Quality in Lublin. The victims are three companies from the group of the largest domestic mills that bought wheat, which - according to markings - was supposed to come from companies near Hrubieszów. In fact, however, it was Ukrainian grain, which entered Poland as technical, so it was intended for burning or pelleting.

Grain from Ukraine. The Prosecutor's Office in Zamość is conducting an investigation​


The prosecutor's office forbade us to disclose the names of the companies "for the sake of the investigation and the protection of the victims."

– Proceedings were initiated to lead three entities to an unfavorable disposal of property in order to obtain a financial benefit worth PLN 1.5 million. This was done by misleading people from grain companies as to the country of origin of the wheat - admitted in an interview with Rzeczpospolita, attorney Anna Rębacz, spokeswoman for the District Prosecutor's Office in Zamość.

So far, no charges have been brought against anyone.

From September to November 2022, companies bought as much as 1,025 tons of wheat, not knowing that it came from Ukraine.

On Tuesday, another crisis staff in the Ministry of Agriculture​


On Tuesday at 4 pm, the Ministry of Agriculture will begin the second meeting of the crisis staff since Robert Telus was sworn in as the Minister of Agriculture. The new minister announced regular meetings in this formula.

On Friday, in Dorohusk, Minister Telus met with his Ukrainian counterpart Mykola Solski. The politicians discussed the transport of Ukrainian agricultural products through Poland and the problems faced by Polish farmers. After the meeting, the ministers announced that the Ukrainian side would limit the arrival of grain to Poland for some time.

On the other hand, in the program “Polska. Warsaw Metropolis” on TVP Info was asked if there was a chance to convince the European Union to impose tariffs on Ukrainian grain. Let us remind you that in mid-2022 it was abolished not only for grain, but also other agricultural products and was intended to support the Ukrainian economy.

To this day, the Ministry of Agriculture has not announced how much grain from Ukraine has entered the Polish market since May 2022, when the corridors for agricultural goods from this country were opened. According to Tomasz Obszański, head of NZSS RI Solidarność - 3 million tons. It was supposed to go to Africa, but just after crossing the border, the goods were picked up by intermediaries. Many companies took advantage of the situation to obtain multi-million profits, reports Rzeczpospolita.
