Vol.XVIII • No.IV
Manchester, N.H.
I am the only NH Republican candidate in the FITN primary. It is mind-boggling to me that no one is questioning Trump or Haley about the basics of the US loss of sovereignty. We are in the deepest trouble we have ever begun.
In this article I am relying on iinformation submitted by two WHO Insiders to the “grand jury” plan of Reiner Feullmich. He is now in jail in Germany for having done this.
In the third week of May, every year, the Member States of the UN meet in Geneva. This year they are planning to add words to the “Sanitary Conventions of 1850” that will result — amazingly — in the WHO having tyrannical powers over every nation including the United States. Here are the two Insiders:
Dr. Silvia Behrendt is an Austrian lawyer whose PhD is from the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland, on the topic of the International Health Regulations and the Executive Authority of the World Health Organization during public health emergencies of international concern. How does that sound to you?
Behrendt’s colleague Astrid Stuckelberger points out that “the underlying concept used for COVID-19 does not follow established scientific principles, but rather a different ideology which is framed as ‘global health security’ and means to treat health as a national security issue.”
Starting in the 1990s, Astrid says, “WHO institutionalized this new approach by the rapid setup of an entirely new division called Emerging and Other Communicable Diseases. And, interestingly, they didn’t engage the staff of the Communicable Disease Control Department at that time.” Media coached us to believe that the SARS outbreak had bioterrorist potential. This political bioterrorist framing of the SARS outbreak led to the agreement of the international community that the old sanitary laws needed to be rewritten to include bioterrorism — without naming this goal officially at WHO.
Astrid Stuckelberger (who strikes me as a genius) says that the WHO’s architects arranged this new biosecurity approach “by the rapid setup of an entirely new division called Emerging and Other Communicable Diseases. And, interestingly, they didn’t engage the staff of the Communicable Disease Control Department at that time.” She sees the United States as the main architect of this. Astrid says: “This policy confirmed that the new paradigm shift was from lowering the incidence of regional endemic diseases to the sole focus on preventing the international spread in real time, and most preferably within a 24-hour time frame….” Wow.
Recall how we all fell for that hype? Now listen to Astrid again: “…the outdated sanitary laws called International Health Regulations [previously] had a very narrow scope and applicability only for yellow fever, black fever and cholera. So, particularly in the US, the bioterrorist scenario planning … within the military and at the academic level [held exercises] like Dark Winter. And those events ‘went real’ shortly after that.” OMG.

Furthermore “the legislation in the US was prepared to curtail civil liberties for the fight against bioterrorism from 1990 onwards. This undertaking was started by the CDC and eventually finalized by professors from Georgetown University, like Professor Gostin, together with Johns Hopkins University, and it was called the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act”. Note: a model act is not law. It is a model that states can adopt or modify or ignore.
“The most important milestone in the revision process of the International Health Regulations, which is an international treaty, was the outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome, abbreviated as SARS — accompanied by an alerted media attention that was not proportionate to the threat of the disease, which was remarkably low… Then the outdated IHR provisions of disease containment were replaced to include pathogens that pose a threat to national security and require an emergency regime…” OMG, OMG, OMG. Think of all the current effort to criminalize “misinformation.”
Silvia Behrendt adds: “If there is no test, you cannot qualify it as the new virus. That’s the problem. The most important thing everybody should know is that the proclamation of a public health emergency of international concern is connected to vaccine manufacturing…. It’s not the pandemic. There is no legal consequence if WHO proclaims or defines a pandemic. That’s just interesting for the media. But the public health emergency is connected to the regulatory pathway for emergency use authorization.” (See my article The DFA’s Authority Is Pure Bluff.)
Also at Reiner Feullmich’s hearings, Virginie de Araujo Recchia asked: “I would like to confirm with you that Mr. Bill Gates put pressure on the WHO to declare a pandemic and that we know that Charité Berlin, which is linked with Drosten, has developed these tests with the financing of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Wellcome Trust. Can you confirm that?
Astrid Stuckelberger: “What we can confirm is that there is really a plan since 1999 that you can see chronologically with events that is mounting up GAVI from the Vaccine Alliance in UNICEF to start joining the United Nations, not only with UNICEF, but with the World Bank and WHO – through financing of this IFFI, the International Financing Facility for Immunization – so, they did a trio, the triad. [“Triad” is the word for it!]
“We have a press release signed by the Swiss government that shows that it was created specifically for Bill Gates, this international organization with total immunity [i.e., immune from lawsuit]. You cannot do anything. You cannot even take him to tribunal. They do their own tribunal if they have any sort of disagreement. [“Nemo judex, anyone?]
“That’s enough proof that there is a plan. And it keeps on. I mean, he [Bill Gates] is in the Strategic Expert Advisory Group. And they prepared even in 2016 an assessment report of this 2012-2020 Global Vaccine Action Plan, GVAP. And in 2016, they were very upset because they did not vaccinate the whole world.”
On that note, let me interject that this is older than you think. I believe the vaccination swindle began in 1798 when “country doctor” Edward Jenner allegedly figured out how to prevent smallpox, and gave the first kid an “inoculation” By 1802, President Thomas Jefferson was aiding the transport of vaccines by allowing free US postal delivery of them.
And by 1806, Spain had sent vaccinators out on “the Balmis Expedition” to cover all of Spain’s territory, including South America. Try to imagine a king reaching out to indigenous peoples for the sake of assisting their health by vaccination. I don’t think so! (This is discussed in my 2013 book “Consider the Lilies.”)
Silvia Behrendt says “Member States gave their consent in 2005. They all said they wanted to have this new kind of rules for international law, and now they are obliged to implement it nationally. Or since 2007, it entered into force, and they are obliged to implement it. And for example, Austria, I’m living in Austria, we have no emergency clause in our Constitution, and [yet] and you still have the same regime.”
Astrid Stuckelberger: “It’s the same with the millennium development goals and sustainable development goals, which seem to match 2000 to 2015, 2015 to 2030, the sustainable development goals. They’re doing a whole mechanism around this, and it becomes more and more obscure. And it is more and more obscure how much us, as citizens, really decide. And we don’t decide anything anymore because it becomes so complex and obscure.” [Bullseye!]
Reiner Fuellmich: “We definitely have to take our sovereignty back.” [As mentioned, he is in jail.]
Silvia Behrendt: “And in the EU they have created this HERA agency, which is the same, but probably much more coercive. And that’s a huge, huge problem. They have no authority in health matters, but they still pretend to have it and create the agencies and instruct on us, without democratic processes.”
Reiner Fuellmich: “HERA stands for Health Emergency Response Agency, right? And isn’t there a rumor that: if our national Member State governments in the EU collapse, then they’re going to take over and under the EU Commission, there will be a kind of a mini world government. Does it sound plausible?”
Silvia Behrendt: “I have no idea, but I’m sure they would love to. [As for] The Rockefeller Foundation, I’ve met them in WHO, they come and sit in meetings, and they are NGO, we don’t know what they are.”
Reiner Fuellmich: “So, the non-state actors are also invited in this new treaty, which would take over literally, through the WHO Constitution – a world constitution – because of “pandemic.” So ultimately what we’re looking at is private associations, private individuals even, taking over our national governments through the World Health Organization, using health as a crowbar to do whatever they want.” Remember that line: “using health as a crowbar”!
Astrid Stuckelberger: “You can see it through the financing because GAVI and private partners have started to invade and interfere the whole United Nations…. I was called to organize, for Switzerland, the whole United Nations Open Days for two days. I learned a lot about an organization that nobody hears about, which is really a private entity, called the UN Global Compact. [That] Global Compact is only private sector. They can, for example, finance – I mean, it’s open to partnerships.” Global compact, anyone?
Commentary
I claim there has been a plan on the books since at least 1798, to take over the world. (Please see my 2022 book, “Keep the Republic, Kill the Takeover.”) It is unbelievably lazy and timid of us to let all the “pandemic” nonsense take place — with even an added genocide conducted via the “mandatory vaccinations.”
I was the first person (as far as I know) to rush to US District Court in 2020 and then to the First Circuit Court of Appeals, to try to get a restraining order against mandatory vax, based on the US Constitution’s Fourth Amendment. Even the appeal was dismissed without the other side being asked to reply. Needless to say, courts do not stand up to the Hidden Government. Courts are a cog in the wheel described above by Silvia and Astrid.
Please develop a new action plan. There is no time to lose. You need to think about how to deal with the financial ‘partnerships’ mentioned above. Or how about starting, if you are connected to any university, with the academic acceptance of the ‘biosecurity’ trick. And your local legislature’s swallowing whole the need to stop dissidents from publishing!
You can be sure that the militaries of this world will be the enforcers, and not just in their home country. As I published way back in 2011, in my book “Prosecution for Treason,” we have had since 1990 an unconstitutional entity called The National Guard Bureau, sitting in the Pentagon. It arranges “State Partnerships.” No, not between Vermont and Utah, but between Michigan and Latvia, and between New Hampshire and El Salvador. Almost every state in the US today has foreign troops stationed with the National Guard. Naturally, the narrative that goes with that is that the partnerships help less advanced countries learn the ways of democracy. Oh, please.
Neither Nikki Haley nor Donald Trump ever mentions this stuff. DeSantis is a better bet. In his speeches in NH he shows respect for, and confidence in, the US Constitution.
We are going to lose national sovereignty, Folks.
Even at this stage, the US could pull out of the WHO. Of course Biden will not do that, and 2025 may be too late. Contact me at www.ConstitutionAndTruth.com. We can meet and discuss it.
I know that I’ve said a mouthful in this article, but don’t go to sleep. Don’t think that electing new politicians will change anything. They are all in on it, and so are academics. I think they are hypnotized. Ordinary selfishness cannot explain what our leaders do (as in “they want their next promotion, for which they must kiss butt”). Their intelligent brain has to tell them that the Takeover managers won’t look out for them. Deals will not be kept. Even an idiot can see that.

Florida Republican Congressman Byron Donald says: “ Trump has been there and done that!” Let’s see why: Trump secured the Southern and Northern borders. No Republican candidate has done that. Biden has allowed 10 million illegals (80% of military age) to infiltrate the United States and plans to continue this invasion. Nikki opposed the wall.
Trump unleashed American energy, headed to world energy domination. No Republican has done that. Biden destroyed our energy independence, not to mention Trump’s march to world energy domination.
Trump introduced $2.00 per gallon and 2% inflation. No Republican primary candidate has done this. Under Biden, food prices have risen 33.7%, energy 32.8%, shelter 18.7%.

Trump corralled China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The Trump Tariff raised billions of dollars for the Treasury and convinced businesses to come home with his tax reduction plan.
Trump moved the U. S. embassy to Jerusalem, which every president since the 1950s promised but never did.
Trump exposed the vipers and vampires of the Federal “ Deep State” Bureaucracy and will eliminate them when re-elected.
Senators Mike Lee, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, together with 106 House Republicans and 22 other US Senators, have endorsed Trump because of his accomplishments as POTUS and Trump’s dedication to the rule of law. These Senators know Trump cannot be intimidated or bought. Trump is America First.
So on January 23, 2024, I urge New Hampshire voters to send our fellow Americans a message and vote Trump because Donald John Trump has “ been there and done that”! Our children’s and grandchildren’s futures depend on your vote. The State that started our nation has the opportunity to be the State that saved our Nation.
The post “Been There, Done That” appeared first on Granite Grok.
I was disappointed, confused, and even angry when John Fetterman continued his campaign for Senator from Pennsylvania in 2022 after suffering a stroke. The stroke hampered Fetterman’s ability to speak or think clearly. He needed a teleprompter to read reporters’ questions or the Senate Chamber proceedings.
It did not appear that the candidate stood a chance against Republican Dr. Oz, but he won handily, and it looked like the voters of Pennsylvania had elected a damaged man. There was also the situation with Fetterman’s choice of attire. He opted out of traditional dress suits in lieu of shorts, hoodies, and sneakers. There was an effort to rewrite the Senate dress code to allow the Freshman Senator to sit in the chamber in his relaxed garb, but the Senate came to its collective senses and told John to get dressed or stay in his office. He dressed.
There was no secret as to Fetterman’s political leanings. He was undoubtedly more aligned with Bernie Sanders than Joe Manchin. His leanings, health issues, and disregard, or disrespect, for the Upper House did not endear him to Republicans who thought he stole the election from Oz. His performance in his debate with Dr. Oz was embarrassing, and he checked himself into a facility for treatment of intense depression. Nobody would bet on him serving out his first term. They may all be wrong.
John Fetterman will always describe himself as a Progressive. Still, his comments, stances, and criticism of the Squad and all Radical Leftists have given people, including myself, cause to take a second look at the former small town Mayor. Fetterman claims the Progressives have left the mainstream Democrats, and three issues in particular have separated Fetterman from the Progressive wing: Defunding Police, Israel, and the Border. These issues must be very strong as they are pushing the huge Senator toward the middle.
Fetterman is becoming a go-to member of the Democrat Party and is holding his own. It looks like prayers have been answered, and Fetterman is on the road to a full recovery. Even people like me, who thought he was a mockery of the Senate, hoped the man would recover from his stroke and bouts of depression. His becoming a moderate Senator is something many may have prayed for but held little hope of being answered.
Some of the issues that Fetterman has spoken out on are the chaos at the Border. Sen. John Fetterman lobbied for securing the U.S. southern border, telling CNN on Friday that 300,000 illegal immigrants attempting to enter the country are blocking legal migrants from their “American dream.” This comment flies in opposition to the Progressive policy of no borders. He also has asked that Robert Menendez be held accountable for his ethics violations. His support of Israel is in conflict with the Progressives who support Hamas and Hezbollah.
Fetterman will support and do what he can to bring Pennsylvania in for Joe Biden and his reelection campaign, but he has let it be known that he disagrees with many of the Administration’s policy positions. He may prove down the line to be as difficult for the Democrat Party as Joe Manchin has been. If that is the case, you will see Democrat support for Fetterman’s reelection a feeble effort. In the long run, it may be more than the Progressives walking away from Fetterman; you may see them eat one of their own.

From the Women’s Defense League of NH
On Thursday, January 25th at 1:30 PM, a hearing is planned in the Senate Judiciary Committee for Michael Bloomberg’s Red Flag bill, aka ‘Extreme Risk Protection Orders’ (Senate Bill 360).
This legislation is some of the most draconian gun control legislation to ever be presented in the NH Legislature. Bloomberg’s organization has already spent over $1 MILLION to push NYC-style gun control in one of the safest states in the country.
Red Flag laws violate our 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendment rights that are supposed to be protected by our legislators. Even New York’s Red Flag law was struck down by their Supreme Court. Yet gun controllers continue to push the very same laws in the Granite State.
They claim these laws are about safety, but they literally have nothing to do with safety, and everything to do with gun confiscation. They are discriminatory laws that are only applied to law-abiding gun owners. They are laws that allow ‘thought police’ to make assumptions about what a person might do, sometime in the future.
You can find more detailed information and research about Red Flag laws here: www.stopredflaglawsnh.org.
What can you do? Show up to the hearing. Bloomberg’s out-of-state funded organization already sends people from various states in New England. Granite Staters in the 2A community must show up in force! Arrive earlier than the 1:30 timeline as the other hearings may finish sooner and to be sure to get a seat. The committee room isn’t very big.
You can also email and/or call the Senate Judiciary Committee Members to show your opposition to the legislation:

I wonder if this actually works.
Using a less-charged example, I asked my kids if charity is a good thing. Of course, they replied. So I painted this scenario for them:
We’re walking down the street and I see someone with a sign saying they need help, and I give a buck. Is that good? Of course, they replied. So what if I was walking with a friend and, after giving that person with a sign, I asked my friend to give a buck. Is that good? Asking? Sure, they said. So what if I, and that friend, both gave a buck, and hauled out a gun on the third person with us to give a buck as well? Or even more, we declined to give but we knew they had a lot of cash in their wallet… so we just made them pay. That’s theft! Because it’s compelled.
My work here is done.

Biden Angry With Republicans Trying To Stop Kids Seeing Gay Porn – modernity (bolding in original):
During a radio interview, Joe Biden expressed disbelief that Republicans have a problem with gay porn books being made available to children as young as six years old in schools across the country.
Biden claimed that Republicans are trying to ban books, a tactic that has been repeatedly used to downplay the fact that sexually explicit material and books promoting transgenderism are being placed in school libraries.
“The idea that you can be told that you can’t read certain books. This is the United States of America, for God’s sake!” Biden stated.

P.T. Barum claimed to have the greatest show on earth, he was the Greatest Showman as depicted in the movie that was so titled. He was the master of hoaxes and snake oil salesmanship. This is something that Donald Trump has lived his entire life emulating.
While Donald Trump comes on like P.T. Barnum with all-flash, pomp, and circumstances, when you look behind the curtain, you find this man is a lot of show, but it is like a wizard in The Wizard of Oz.
I am not criticizing all the things that he did and tried to do but there were so many things that he promised that were just smoke and mirrors to satisfy the people. These people never looked back at what was never done or even attempted.
He promised to cut spending and promised to make everything more efficient, only to turn around and sign the largest spending bill in the history of the country. If you heard, “Build the wall and Mexico will pay for it,” once you heard it 10,000 times, but very little was done. When they passed the largest Democrat-approved spending bill (7.8 Trillion Dollars), which was signed by Trump, not a dollar was appropriated for the wall.
How many times did you hear “Lock her up” referring to Hillary Clinton, only to see him praising her and Bill after the 2016 election?

He promised to fix the immigration system, and while he did stem the tide of people coming into the country, his promise to deport illegal immigrants turned into a State of the Union address to provide amnesty to nearly 2 million. At the end of his presidency, he actually deported fewer people than Obama in his 1st term.
Although he denies it now, he shut down the largest economy in the world and believed the lies of the pharmaceutical industry or a huge supporter of theirs, Dr Fauci, when it came to COVID. He continued on when states and governors defied him and opened, and he even begged those states to follow his orders to stay in lockdown.
He promised he would hire nothing but the smartest and the brightest people for all the positions in government, but many of his hires turned out to be fired or left. I guess they were not the best and brightest, or they had the audacity to question him. He, however, did not replace anyone in the FBI and the NSA or any of the other three letter divisions, keeping the holdovers from Obama, who did nothing but investigate him and his family.
When his admirers look at him now, it is like they are still looking at the Fiery Wizard with all the flash, pomp, and circumstances. They just refuse to pull back that curtain and see it is nothing more than an old man pulling the levers of The Greatest Show on Earth.

I don’t think we have ever seen a candidate for national office who took this much abuse from the mainstream media. It was 96% negative press for Trump. Almost no mention of his tax cuts, his reduction in crippling federal regulations, which brought back manufacturing that Obama had sent to China.
Trump’s Abraham Accord to settle long term grievances in the Middle East. NATO was compelled to live up to the 1949 treaty to spend at least 2% of GDP on defense. Trump made the US energy independent, which grew our economy to its highest level in decades. Unemployment at record lows. Internationally, Trump would meet all our adversaries face-to-face. He knew he was operating from a position of strength, and he was not afraid to tell them potential damages that would befall them should they threaten our country. He dealt with Mexico and Canada and changed the Clinton-era trade deal that was not in the US’s best interest. He also got Mexico to stem some of the cross border illegal crossings.
Now, we see the total corruption that the Democrats have imposed on our federal government. Obama-Biden set the FBI and the DOJ into placing false charges on Trump before he even took office. Trump had to deal with career civil service types who supposedly took an oath to our constitution, but were deliberately making trouble for our elected President. Decades of Democrat control of our federal jobs have poisoned these people to a path of total self-serving and dedication to growing government no matter the cost.
Democrats are totally dedicated to the maxims of Vladimir Lenin. “The same lie told often enough becomes the truth.’ and “Always accuse your opponent of committing your own crimes.” Democrats are out to destroy our country and our way of life to please the Dictators of the World and the World Economic Forum. Some of our own billionaires are part of this. They all want a Global Economy where they and their chosen elites use the rest of us as obedient serfs.
Only Donald Trump is tough enough and smart enough to stop their campaign. No one person has ever executed as many deals in his favor. He has the long-term view like no one else, and is always several steps ahead of the other party.
There are signs that the majority of our population are wising up to the phony “WOKE” baloney and the economy destroying “Human caused Global Warming Hoax.” Honest scientists are showing the evidence of Solar variations that have been going on for thousands of years. Our consumption of fossil fuels will have less effect on these cycles than a couple of volcanoes. The huge fortunes arrayed against our freedoms will be hard to defeat. I would ask for no greater leader to take on this fight than Donald Trump. He has taken on all the corrupt abusers of our laws and court systems. We need Trump!

There is a disturbing trend at the Public Meetings of the Town Council, in which elected officials have repeatedly opted to take time after the closure of public comment to make inaccurate statements about citizens or events in town. This is a repeated pattern of behavior in which Council members are allowed to make statements, free from public rebuttal or examination, in an attempt to control the narrative surrounding town issues.
At the most recent public meeting of the Town Council on Friday, Jan. 12, the Council Chairman made vague, non-specific complaints regarding what he felt were “inaccuracies” in a “local publication.” Notably, Chairman John Farrell appeared to use this time to deride former Town Councilor Debra Paul, as well, as opposed to limiting his remarks to the content of the paper. This does not seem to be in line with the Council’s suggested rules of order and Chairman Farrell’s own previous statements, in which it was stated that attacks on individuals were not encouraged. Most notably, Farrell did not seem eager to apologize for wasting thousands of taxpayer dollars fighting Mrs. Paul over the release of documents related to Town Manager Mike Malaguti’s frivolous actions against Mrs. Paul. Despite Chairman Farrell’s claims that certain articles were one-sided, the majority of the story he referenced was comprised of court documents, highlighting a nearly nine-month wait through the courts, where, in the end, a judge ruled that the town needed to hand over the document and also pay all attorney fees associated with it.
Farrell also made an incorrect assertion that, in his opinion, the only reason Deb Paul chose to pursue a remedy through the courts was so she could print the sexual harassment letter in the newspaper. Thankfully, the judge did not agree, clearly placing the onus for frivolous behavior on the Town Manager.
Contrary to Farrell’s assertion, the letter was NOT published in this paper, though there were links published on the website to the letter for readers to verify its content. The story that was written at the time focused on the judge’s decision.
The Chairman also made references to an investigation that the town conducted into these matters but falsely claimed that Mrs. Paul was privy to the fact that an investigation was ongoing at the time; she was not.
Chairman Farrell refused to elaborate further.
In our opinion, Farrell has used his gavel repeatedly as a shield to hide behind while he pontificates on his version of the truth.
If the town felt that articles in the paper were inaccurate, they could have taken the opportunity we provide to request a correction to be run. It is noteworthy that this paper has not received any requests regarding the story being referenced.
It is clear that as long as Mr. Farrell is sitting in the Chairman’s seat, he will continue to try and “control the narrative” without allowing folks in opposition a chance to respond.
For us, as long as we continue to publish the Londonderry Times, we will continue to give folks a voice in the “letters to the editor” section.
The editorial is in response to comments made by Chairman Farrell at the 1/12/2024 Council meeting.
It’s important to note that Councilor Farrell Chose NOT to address the other comments made during public comment. Those comments are below.
