Headlines and Updates for December 11, 2018: Utter Betrayal [videos] ~ December 11, 2018


Q tells us justice is coming, and what is wrong will be put right. If we don’t see hard evidence of that very soon, a lot of people may abandon ship. Some are wondering how long it takes to collect evidence when the corruption has been going on for years and has already been documented and ample witnesses are available. Some feel if the “declas” doesn’t happen in December, it will have passed the window of opportunity. I don’t know how much more patience the patriots have. Some will only trust the Plan until they determine that it’s the same old game and nothing is going to happen to the criminals. Perhaps there are things delaying the Plan, but let’s hope the maestro is about to conduct the orchestra in the most epic symphony we’ve ever heard.


The Swedes are not happy with the way life is going in their country and are also rising up to make their voices heard. Since the “forced migration” by the globalists life has been almost unrecognizable in Sweden with rape, murder, fires and the destruction of property, criminals let off, and women can no longer walk alone at night. It’s no surprise they’re protesting the UN Migration Pact.

Thanks for the heads up, J.

Oh, Canada, what have you done? Unfortunately, Turdeau and friends signed the Migration Compact so Canada is in, and Billy Joyce reports that this UN Compact is a trap, according to a UN legal expert André Sirois.

You must hear the implications of this agreement. It’s outrageous, and every bit about an invasion and Canada will never be the same again if this agreement comes to fruition and the activities agreed upon actually unfold.  Terre de nos aïeux” no longer.

Will these legal actions be able to protect Canada from this non-legally binding Compact for Migration?


There has to be a reason this is unfolding as it is. David twice says, “Scot-free”. Coincidence?

Here’s Part 2 of the intel David Wilcock left with the guys at Edge of Wonder. He touches on a lot of different aspects of the globalists/Illuminati plan, and why the patriots devised their own Plan to end the tyranny and corruption, as well as 9/11. He speaks of The Alliance, the cabal, and the proposed destruction of America.

Democrats: Fake News… Fake Bombs [video] ~ October 25, 2018

People are catching on and letting the fake media know that they know.

Once the dimms realized it was all over the Internet that the bombs weren’t even “live” and that “we knew”, they gave pause and there was a brief, “One moment please. Recalculating.”

Is this what former Attorney General Eric Holder had in mind when he said, “We kick em.”??? So this is, “The Kolfage Kicker”?  This veteran doesn’t even have any legs to kick out from under him. This is what psychopaths do.

There is a huge job awaiting researchers at Wikipedia to correct all the lies published there about our history and the subhumans who subjugated Humanity over the centuries. Let them go down in infamy as a cautionary reminder of how complacency can be the undoing of an entire civilization. It happened many times.

Does anyone really want these people running their country—and the world? We’ll find out on November 6th.

Simon Parkes notified us of a shocking development in the UK, which brought to mind for me the French Revolution whence came the famous phrase, “Let them eat cake” when the so-called aristocracy was so out of touch with the plight of the common folk that when they had no bread, the advice was to eat cake instead.

A Cunning Plan…
Tuesday, October 9, 2018
Here in Great Britain the present Tory government has come up with a cunning plan.

More cunning than Blackadder’s Baldric.

Michael Gove has said he wants to open up council rubbish / trash sites so people can dig around and purchase items that have been discarded by others.

For instance a child’s push scooter would be £5.00 while a TV would be £40.00.

Me thinks that Gove has been reading too much Charles Dickens!

Can you believe the cojones of these El-ites?

What—no bread? Let them eat cake! What— no pram? Go to the local landfill and rummage about until you find what you’re looking for. We’ll give you a great deal!

You know what I say to these “elitist tyrants”? On your bike! Do not pass go. Cycle straight to the Tower where you shall spend the rest of your days for your crimes against Humanity.

Better yet—toss them in the dustbin of time and let’s be done with them once and for all. Ship them all off to the the Great Central Sun for recycling and make them useful for once.


And also in Britain…

Apparently the Brits are more civilized than the American heathens who beat up and bully anyone who disagrees with their opinion.

Hillary Clinton says civility won’t return unless the El-ites gain control of the government. Too bad she has no say in the matter.

Hitlary is basically under house arrest in the “catch and release” program so she can play her role and not tip off the somnambulent public as to the true state of affairs in America. She’s on a short leash and when the master tugs, she’ll have to go to her kennel at GTMO to await prosecution.

Fortunately, she looks great in orange. Unfortunately, since there is such a backlog of thousands of El-ites indicted, under arrest or soon to be and to imminently arrive at Guantanamo, the actual court cases could take many years. Whatever will she do?

Mike Adams has a message for the reprobates who believe they will simply eliminate the undesirable patriots in America on the “activation day”. Read his article at the link and/or watch his video. Apparently the reprobates need a reminder that they were completely unsuccessful in disarming Americans and at this stage some of them have itchy trigger fingers, especially in Texas, Mike says. Americans aren’t violent people, but they WILL protect their lives, their families, their President, and their country.

Dave’s astute Sunday updates in the financial and geopolitical arenas…

The Economy Has Just Turned, & So Are Countries

World Peace?, Deep State Losing Control Of Narrative

Dave has a good chat with Frank at the Frankly Speaking channel. Frank is one of my favourite talk show hosts. Just a real, nice guy. Informed, well-spoken. Balanced.

Some semi-surprising moves from POTUS, but since we know the Trump administration is working with the team at the Manna World Holding Trust, the news is not out of the blue.


To close for now, we have a spectacular mystery light source at the South Pole general area illuminating the planet with what appears to be a “big blue flashlight” and other cool stuff/anomalies from Steve at WSO.

Geosat Shows Something Below Earth Flyin Around

Headlines and Updates for October 11; Massive Cyber Attacks Across the Web & Treacherous Weather Attacks [videos] ~ October 11, 2018


QAnon drops are here. Refresh the page for the latest crumbs.

This update was to be published yesterday but it was too cumbersome to deal with and I didn’t get far. I kept getting error messages and when Number One did his analysis of our comms he reported the ship was definitely running slow, with the number of attempted hack attacks almost doubled in the past 72 hours.

He understood that as soon as Kavanaugh was confirmed the attacks across the web skyrocketed and a number of sites were affected. He is sourcing more dilithium crystals to increase our speed but my phone line cut out in the middle of a call with him and then my Internet was down briefly too, so I was a little frustrated. We’re supposed to have a tech working on the phone/Internet today. They work on it every week but it doesn’t get fixed. They can put bases on Mars but can’t give me a fast, reliable phone or web connection. Go figure.

In the interim, because it’s been difficult working with the Starship Earth blog I posted at the Captain’s Blog instead. I published the newest War Drummer video there around dinner time yesterday and it has completely vanished. It’s not a draft, and it didn’t publish, so I’m including it below. It’s a must watch video about a Democracy and a Republic that puts things in a new perspective.

I also shared a video last night of some additional, revealing footage during the SpaceX rocket launch on Sunday and that post on the Captain’s Blog is apparently off in hyperspace somewhere too. Why are there so often UFOs/UAPs around for these launches? There’s obviously more to it than they would like us to know, but “we know”. See that video below.

I will continue to post at both blogs so we can cover the basic news. You can “follow” the Captain’s Blog from this link if you wish.

Today the shields are up, and we’re doing much better so we will soldier on here at Starship Earth. Thank you Number One. You’ve earned some time on the holodeck.

Due to the blatant, shameless censorship online, some folks have really serious issues. The Justinformed Talk channel made a video telling us that YouTube demonetized every one of his videos that they hadn’t already messed with in the past. Unfortunately, most of his videos are Q-related, making him a target. He is upset because he makes videos to support his family and doesn’t know what he’s going to do.

Urgent matters like hurricanes are demanding our attention, too.

Michael hit the Florida coast as a massive Cat 4 storm and surprisingly moved inland still at a severe category 2 or 3, with more heavy rains and winds in Georgia and the Carolinas, unfortunately. It caused a tremendous amount of destruction and President Trump will be onsite to see for himself what needs to be done and get updates from the boots on the ground. See the details and photos here.

Below you can learn why the New World Order uses these hurricanes to attack America every fall. It’s never just one reason.

We are watching the financial situation closely as the old guard would love nothing more than to crash the system and make the President look bad and cause even more chaos, but since the message understood by the American people is that the economy is better than it’s ever been, it would be difficult to create a financial crisis just now, but if there’s a way to yank the rug out from under us the dark will make it happen.

US stocks suffer worst loss in 8 months amid rising interest rates, tech hit hardest

Dave brings us his usual credible and insightful X22 reports for October 10 about the financial, political and geopolitical situation, including his astute QAnon updates which resonate strongly with me.

I think the incredible value in Dave’s reports lie in his ability to tell us not only what the cabal is planning, but how the situation appears to the public, and also what the patriots’ plan is and how it will actually unfold if all goes well. He gives us the good, the bad, and the ugly, leaving lots of room for hope and helps us remain calm.

When you listen to these updates, headlines like this one below will make sense:

POWELL CRASHES TRUMP ECONOMIC BOOM! Raises Rates **AGAIN** on Trump — DOW DIVES 1,501 POINTS IN ONE WEEK!


The War Drummer has done an outstanding job with this video. If you haven’t watched it, you may not understand Democrats and Republicans. I’m seeing it all with new eyes.

Red is the colour of the October revolution in America, and red will be the colour of the El-ites’ eyes when we’re done with them. They will never stop crying.


Check out the interesting wide-angle view of the SpaceX rocket launch. There was a lot going on if you zoomed out and panned a little.

Mind Blowing “Secret Space Technology” During Space X Launch!


If you think everything including the weather “just happens”, you may change your mind after reading this next article. Hurricanes and extreme weather have nothing to do with the imaginary “climate change” or “global warming”, although that’s what the media have programmed the masses to believe to cover their tracks.

There are no accidents and everything on this planet with very few exceptions is planned and executed according to an agenda with nasty objectives. The ruling psychopaths are going down, and they know it. As a result they lash out with more furor than ever—and they will never give up until they are literally destroyed—as they have tried to destroy us. It’s truly a matter of us or them at this point.

You may recall a month or so ago we mentioned the scheme to bring Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum into the cabal controlled fold in Florida and it appears part of this was about that very goal. Don’t miss this brilliant article that will connect a lot of dots. Floridians must vote Republican!

HURRICANE MICHAEL: A Geoengineered Superstorm Targeting Tallahassee and Florida Panhandle—Why!

OCTOBER SURPRISE

The New World Order Globalist Cabal Uses Weather Warfare Against the American People Every Hurricane Season

October 10, 2018

State of the Nation

Hurricane Michael is only the most recent weather weapon launched by the globalist-controlled geoengineers at the U.S. coastline and heartland.

There are multiple reasons why the globalists are directing this Cat. 4 Hurricane at the Florida Panhandle.

Midterm Elections 2018

First and foremost, this superstorm is being sent to Tallahassee, Florida the state capital.  Not only will the state government be entirely preoccupied with the aftermath of the storm for many weeks going into the November 6th election, it will allow the desperate Democrats to rig the election under cover of chaos and destruction.

The many counties that stretch across North Florida are as Republican RED as any other region in the 50 states.  Hence, they have been targeted by the weather warriors just 4 weeks before Election Day, making it very difficult for voters to even make it to the polls, many of which will be blown away.  Same for conservative South Georgia and Christian southern Alabama.

Because the state government is headquartered in Tallahassee, the election machinery is controlled there, as is the process and procedure for certifying the election results.  The ensuing hurricane mayhem will allow the Democrats to take advantage of the situation in ways that can only be conjectured at this point but we all know the DEMs “never let a crisis go to waste”.

Andrew Gillum

Make no mistake about it, the George Soros-funded candidate — Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum — was chosen to win this year’s Democrat primary because he has been groomed to be Obama 2.0.  He was also selected by his globalist masters to lead Florida leftward just as Obama did the nation.


Florida’s Democrat Gubernatorial Nominee Andrew Gillum Failed Miserably As Tallahassee Mayor…

…and the George Soros-picked pawn will run the state into the ground just like Obama did to the country if elected.


With this critical understanding, it ought to be easy to grasp why a hurricane is being manufactured to profoundly impact Tallahassee, where a failed mayor is notorious statewide for completely botching that last Hurricane response.  As a Tallahassee resident, the author personally witnessed the willful neglect and gross incompetence by the city after the pervasive damage caused by Hurricane Hermine in 2016.  Gillum was even heavily criticized by the governor for his shocking level of irresponsibility. FLASHBACK: Gov. Scott slams Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum for how he handled Hurricane Hermine

The key point here is that Hurricane Michael will give Gillum a second opportunity to get it right this time.  The mayor has been out appearing for photo-ops filling sand bags this week when he should be doing much more important things, but then this whole ruse is being staged for political show.

Yes, the globalists will do anything necessary to shoehorn Gillum into the Governor’s Mansion so desperate are they to win the 2020 POTUS election.  The Democrat Deep State knows full well that whoever occupies the Florida governorship can determine the ultimate outcome of Florida’s highly coveted 29 electoral votes, the voters be damned.

Weather Warfare & the UN Agendas

Both Texas and Florida have been the victims of much weather warfare over the past couple of decades.  Texas is also a very red state and therefore frequently targeted with alternating droughts and deluges, both cataclysmic.  Hurricane Harvey was only the latest superstorm geoengineered to paralyze a major hub for the Oil & gas Industry — Houston — among many other disastrous outcomes.
See: Hurricane Harvey: A Geoengineered Superstorm Targets Texas—WHY?

The numerous acts of weather terrorism perpetrated against the residents of Florida and Texas (as well as California) are all designed to advance the 3 major UN agendas.  The following excerpt further explains the ongoing conspiracy to undermine American sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The globalists who manufactured this oncoming calamity have a specific agenda that has multiple goals.  Most of those relate to the UN agendas—Agenda 212030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Vision 2050.  One major purpose is to move the affected populace away from the land and/or coastlines.  Many of these regions have been identified as safe environmental corridors that are meant to be used exclusively by the power elite during the End Times.
(Source: Superstorm Florence Geoengineered To Be Another Hurricane Harvey)

The spate of unprecedented mega-hurricanes that have been geoengineered over the past few decades are also the deceitful product of the Global Warming crowd.  There’s no better advertisement for the Global Warming hoax than to destroy a few cities, states or coastlines every year which are then blamed on out-of-control climate change as evidenced by wacky weather (read unrelenting superstorms).

In fact, the UN just produced a fictitious and hysterical report that makes a case for biospheric Armageddon if humanity does not turn down the heat (via carbon footprint reduction) post-haste.  Of course, all the models used by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are based on CO2 generation produced by human activity, which completely ignores the influences of natural sun cycles.

Much more significantly, however, is the deafening silence concerning the global geoengineering operations being conducted 24/7.  In so doing, the various UN agenda mouthpieces for carbon-driven climate change have deliberately avoided the single biggest threat to the planetary civilization—chemical geoengineering.  In other words, the nonstop chemical geoengineering regime contributes majorly to the production of immense amounts of water vapor, the primary greenhouse gas and greatest factor of regional warming wherever chemtrail aerosols are being sprayed continuously.  As follows:

The interesting headlines continue to blast out about Ford’s credibility and background.

PSYCH OUT! Is Christine Ford a Psychologist? — There Are NO RECORDS to Prove This in State of California Database

Ford is a fake—like everything else the deep state tries to pull off. Is Blasey-Ford a CIA asset? That’s a damn good question, and it certainly looks that way, doesn’t it?

Deplorable McAllister explores that strong possibility.

Some good news… one Kavanaugh accuser is being prosecuted for their accusations against the Judge.

These people are so stupid! It didn’t work the first or second time and they’re now onto another accuser!

A 5th Kavanaugh accuser surfaced Wednesday evening shortly after the 4th anonymous accuser was reported by NBC.

Grassley Refers Hoax Accuser Claiming Kavanaugh Raped Woman on Boat in Rhode Island For Criminal Investigation

You see what’s happening here, don’t you? The deep state is repeatedly exposing themselves and destroying any credibility they may have had. Few will fail to see the corruption and for that reason, this grotesque Hollywood horror show is working in favour of The People.

And once again… too bad, so sad for the Dems…

This should come as no surprise as several attorneys and congressional members have stated no prosecutor in their right mind would take this to court. It has proven to be every bit the political sham we stated at the outset—and such a blatant one a blind man could see it.

It’s no different than any of their false flags where they call in their mind controlled, drugged up, bribed patsies and crisis actors to pull off a charade to lie to the American people.

Hillary’s ploys and claims of “misremembering” key details just won’t work any more for her or Blasey-Ford.

Kavanaugh Hearing Prosecutor Would Not Recommend Charges

At first it was laughable because the timing was so absurd, however it’s not funny any more.  But this is… from Trump’s West Virginia rally.

Fun with Feinstein

Another brief excerpt from the Wheeling, WV rally…

 


How much of life is manipulated—and by whom? JonXArmy found on the CIA website, a lengthy document about the Illuminati card game. Why on earth would it be there, of all places? Watch and listen. It seems the card game may have been a covert message trying to warn Humanity of the psychotic plans of the Illuminati, and the rogue CIA had plans to block its release.

From there Jon also goes into the manipulation of weather and geoengineering. It seems everyone except Americans knows weather is controlled. Earthquakes—ditto.

In the past week or so I have provided information about two specific companies one may contract to spray chemtrails, etc. and create rain—or withhold it. They’ve got it down pat and are only too happy to oblige.

The information in this video makes Russia look like a villain, but I would not necessarily attribute that to President Putin. He does not control everything in Russia any more than President Trump controls Washington so the sonic anomalies, etc. will remain unattributed for now. We will learn who is really at the bottom of the chaos and devastation eventually.

Jon chases a lot of rabbits in this video and it’s worth a listen to the clues and truths that emerge, particularly if you are fairly new to the truther movement.


Now we see thousands of people displaced and killed by weather and other “natural” disasters. It’s all part of their plan, and since they are going down, they are taking as many of us with them as they can. This is why President Trump, the White Hats and the Resistance Movement MUST take them out now.

In North Carolina chicken and pig farms are under water, and the other disgusting offshoot of flooding rural properties is that septic tanks also flood and back up. Now that runoff is heading downstream in the rivers that lead to South Carolina.

The video below from a group of Marines who assisted in gutting 26 homes belonging to war vets that were flooded in the Carolinas impart just a whiff of what these poor folks are dealing with—if the flooding has peaked and mostly receded. They’re going through a lot of bleach and antibiotics by the sound of it. What a gang of heroes they are.

Unfortunately, South Carolina is in the thick of it with rivers just now rising and flooding key highways and isolating entire towns. It’s two weeks since Hurricane Florence hit and South Carolina rivers are still cresting.

If that wasn’t bad enough, one or two super-cells parked themselves over South Carolina this weekend—so large they reached into adjacent states. A tremendous amount of water was then coming out of the skies and these folks have a huge mess.

Japan has been hit with Trami, with 104 mph winds, causing power outages, airport and train shutdowns and several deaths.

There was another very deep 6.6 earthquake near Fiji, and a cyclone in the Mediterranean Sea has caused heavy weather in Greece and Turkey. I’ve never heard of a “medicane”. They make this up as they go.

Three people missing in Evia as Medicane Zorbas is sweeping across Greece

Jamie Lee of A Plane Truth brings us news of highly toxic substances dropped on the Earth to poison all life. I couldn’t bear to watch it all, but it is important to note that this WAR is being fought on so many levels. Humanity must understand that they are prey and stand up and fight it.


Some encouraging news about deep state fallout… Thomas Kurian is stepping down.

Excitement at Oracle — Amazon Effect

September 30, 2018

After reportedly butting heads with Larry Ellison, Oracle’s top cloud executive is leaving the company

Kurian’s departure comes just weeks after Oracle announced he was taking a break from his position overseeing Oracle’s cloud efforts, and after Bloomberg reported that a conflict with Oracle co-founder, executive chairman, chief technology officer, and person whose opinion seems to matter most Larry Ellison over the direction of Oracle’s platform software strategy. Kurian reportedly wanted to let more of Oracle’s software run on public infrastructure clouds like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, which Ellison apparently resisted given Oracle’s feeble attempts to compete in that market.

It’s fair to say Oracle’s cloud strategy is now at a crossroads. The company acknowledged during its most recent earnings call that it expects to spend roughly the same amount of money on capital expenditures this fiscal year, at a time when rivals like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, and Google are dramatically expanding their outlays on the hardware and buildings needed to run a modern cloud computing service.

At the risk of waxing poetic over a very serious situation, we recall an old ballad about war… the Battle of Evermore set to Lord of the Rings footage gives me chills. So long, Sauron. Adios, New World Order. Light Trumps dark, and it’s on!

Battle of Evermore

by Led Zeppelin

Queen of light took her bow
And then she turned to go
The prince of peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alone.
Oh dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morn ing light.
The dark lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all.
Oh throw down your plow and hoe
Rest not to lock your homes.
Side by side we wait the might
Of the darkest of them all.
I hear the horses’ thunder
Down in the valley blow,
I’m waiting for the angels of Avalon,
Waiting for the eastern glow.
The apples of the valley hold,
The seas of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care,
Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Oh,——-dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the morning light.
The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrant’s face is red.
Oh the war is common cry, pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad
That mortals never know.
Oh, well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.
The pain of war cannot exceed
The woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall,
The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on.
Sing as you raise your bow,
Shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night
That lights the face so cold.
Oh dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the mornin’ light.
The magic runes are writ in gold
To bring the balance back, bring it back.
At last the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness
The sunlight blinds his eyes

Speaking of dragons, I happened upon this video footage of what certainly appears to be a giant fossilized serpent in Mauritania. I don’t suppose there’s any chance to the fact that the allegorical Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Game of Thrones have both drawn our attention to dragons. The Nav’i also rode winged dragons in Avatar.

Looks like someone discovered serpent remains on Google Earth. No wing remnants, however. Mauritania is between the west coast of Africa and Mali. Historical firsts are popping up everywhere folks care to look on Google Earth.
