Hawaii's COVID19 "Delta Variant" Meltdown Raises Many Fresh Red Flags
August 11, 2021 14:28 - 10.6 MBHmm. Is Hawaii being totally forthright here? Because the data doesn’t add up, unless some of these “delta variant” infections are actually just vaccine side effects being characterized as a uniquely different infection. Lazy media, or dishonest media. https://fulcrumnews.com/podcast

Canada and US Military Leadership Bow The Knee To Pfizer's mRNA Genetic Therapy Autocracy
August 10, 2021 15:01 - 21.1 MBSAFE AND EFFECTIVE! Oh, you mean experimental and unproven? Thalidomide was once pushed on pregnant young mothers as a promising and safe new medication — we all know how that turned out. The adverse reaction reports, official and anecdotal, are beyond troubling at this point. The data is in. And it’s not protecting well at all against new variants, including delta, as the outbreaks in heavily vaccinated Hawaii and Israel have recently indicated. To force this on our military, means we d...
More People Around You Oppose The mRNA Vaccine Narrative Than You'd Think

Canada's Sad Descent Into Forced mRNA Gene Therapy Autocracy: Don't Call It A Vaccine!
August 09, 2021 16:17 - 24.3 MBVaccines confer greater than 39% immunity. This isn’t a vaccine. It’s garbage. Canada lost its way. And the people “socially distancing” from those who have woken up on this issue are worse than garbage — a stone’s throw away from being modern day Hitler Youth. Lines for the unvaccinated in Canada? You mean, fellow citizens of yours who CAUGHT ACTUAL COVID and recovered? That’s not unvaccinated. Before taking the genetic therapy, everyone should be tested for antibodies — many have them. ...
Canada’s Ugly mRNA Therapy Autocracy
August 09, 2021 11:39 - 21.3 MBUgly, and not a winning path, either. Millions of us stand against this — I think some people were curious how far things would go before pushing back. Those who pushed this faulty vaccine on the rest of us will be the shame of the planet, for many years to come. Not the unvaccinated. Lockdowns and social shaming, all to take an unproven, faulty vaccine. SAFE AND EFFECTIVE! Effective, at what exactly? Certainly not effective at restoring daily life to normal, and not effective against new ...
Understanding Our Canadian Friends (And Their Unwieldy mRNA Vaccine Adverse Reaction Coverup)
August 08, 2021 16:55 - 10.4 MBIs everyone operating at their best in Summer 2021? Truthful? Honest? Brave? Asking for our friends up in Canada. This isn’t normal, it’s not acceptable, and it will definitely end one day soon. And when it does — one would be wise to be on the right side of this growing disaster, if it’s not already too late to do so.

Authorities Admit Over 1,000 Earthquakes Recorded In Yellowstone National Park July 2021
August 05, 2021 00:49No this isn’t an April Fools — it’s August, not April, for one thing. And it isn’t fake news. Authorities are admitting a “swarm” of earthquakes — more than 1,000 in all — were recorded throughout Yellowstone National Park last month, completing yet another part of our apocalypse bingo board, it would seem. According to the Idaho Statesman, geologists reviewing the data called July 2021 a “doozy” of a month geologically. On July 29th, a shallow yet very strong 8.2 magnitude earthquake — ...
International Space Station 'Error' Was Worse Than Originally Believed, Wuhan To Test All Residents For Delta Variant - News 8.4.2021
August 04, 2021 17:14 - 2.79 MBMore information is emerging about the recent mishap aboard the International Space Station, in which a docked Russian module inadvertently fired its thrusters, causing the entire space station structure to rotate 540 degrees in a matter of minutes.

Other trips to the Station may be delayed or canceled as well. Russia’s service module, docked ...

BREAKING: Nevada To Require Vaccinated To Wear Masks Beginning Friday
July 28, 2021 04:20The US state of Nevada has issued an emergency order, to take effect Friday, in 12 of 17 counties — it will require citizens, vaccinated AND unvaccinated, to mask up. Mask up! It’s 2020, all over again. This must be a big blow to the vaccinated there. Some vaccinated, online at least, had looked forward to a return to “normal” public travel and life — even if turning the rest of us into second class citizens through vaccine passports and the like was the path there. Just literally days a...

The Late Stage mRNA Experimental Vaccine Push Feels More Cult-Like By The Day
July 26, 2021 11:01Oh wow, a vaccine now has a “Campus Coalition” of “ambassadors” that span 23 college campuses, and growing fast, to “stamp out misinformation” about said vaccine. This group of “ambassadors” is being promoted on MSN and elsewhere in the mainstream media just days after it was announced the US government bought another 200 million doses from Pfizer, the same vaccine that has been found by Israel’s government to be only 39 percent effective at battling the new Delta variant — and some who got ...
Solar Cycle 25 Already Has Six Distinct Sunspots
July 25, 2021 19:33 - 2.11 MBIn developing news, researchers at NCAR and elsewhere are troubled about recent solar activity. Solar Cycle 25 was expected to be calm, but so far it has not been, with an X 1.5-class solar flare recorded on July 3rd. A now deleted NOAA post, which still appears up on the Space Weather Prediction System's Twitter feed, identified six distinct new spots on the side of the Sun facing Earth. Although experts say large solar flares would pose little risk to humans on Earth, they could damage ...

Solar Cycle 25 May Be The Strongest Since Scientific Recordkeeping of the Sun's Activity Began
July 24, 2021 13:28Yesterday, we reported that NOAA deleted a troubling post admitting that their long range predictions that Solar Cycle 25 (the current cycle) would be calm are no longer valid, and may have been calculated in error. Coronal mass ejections (CME) from the Sun appear to be picking up in intensity. Image via NOAA. Now, readers point us to a highly prescient (it would seem!) post by NCAR back in December, predicting just this very contradiction between official predictions for Solar Cycle 25, a...
mRNA Vaccine Adverse Reaction Grumbles From The Young Continue To Grow

And anecdotal evidence continues to spill over on Reddit and Facebook that this isn’t like other vaccines. Young people are reporting chest pain, heart problems, and lack of energy even months aft...
BREAKING: NOAA/US Govt Ominously Delete Blog Post 2 Days Ago Admitting Error In Calm Solar Cycle 25 Predictions
July 23, 2021 21:57Wow. Or maybe a Neo whoa is called for here: this is wild. We had scheduled a post on NOAA’s dire blog post that it and NASA’s Solar Cycle 25 predictions — which called for generally calm conditions on the Sun’s surface — were unfortunately quite off, and instead six freakish sun spots have appeared out of nowhere, suggestive of much higher solar flare activity than originally modeled. I think this one is above our pay grade at FULCRUM, folks. Just putting out the facts: a federal agency h...
BREAKING: Pfizer COVID19 mRNA Vaccine Only 39% Effective In Stopping Delta, Israel's Gov Says
July 23, 2021 08:03Troubling new data from Israel’s health ministry suggests the Pfizer vaccine — which was given in Israel — is only 39% effective at stopping delta variant infections. It provided protection “against severe illness,” however, 91.4% of the time, the Bloomberg report on the data states. Guess those lockdowns are going to be the new fashion statement, all over again. Delta is coming, dear readers, and there’s nothing we can do about it. That’s what the media would have us believe, anyway, and...
Elon Musk Says Tesla Could Accept Bitcoin Again Soon, Oregon's Bootleg Fire Grows - News 7.22.2021
July 22, 2021 15:28 - 3.37 MBAuthorities now believe Oregon's massive Bootleg fire, one of the largest unconfined wildfires ever experienced on US soil, was started by a lightning strike.

C60 Updates: I Feel More Focused Overall, Noticeable Difference
July 20, 2021 21:36 - 3.2 MBMy own personal experience is that I feel noticeably more focused while taking C60, and although it isn’t psychoactive in any way (it doesn’t get you high), the ‘clarifying’ effect I’ve noticed over time is not something I would want to lose. https://go.c60purplepower.com/FULCRUM10/ Do not take C60 if you are on a blood thinner.

NorCal Wildfires Grow To More Than 158,000 Acres, And PG&E May Be To Blame
July 20, 2021 02:10Here we go again — a familiar culprit, utility operator PG&E, “may be partly to blame,” reports The Mercury News, for wildfires in Northern California which have expanded to 158,000 acres of scorched Earth so far, and growing fast. Many YouTube and Google engineers live in sprawling estates in Northern California, including some who serve on the content moderation teams that ended my video journalism career for reporting on Johnny boy’s emails.

July 19, 2021 12:45 - 2.9 MBIf it's so safe and effective, why all the punitive bans and censorship? Why the fresh lockdown in the Australian state of Victoria, if the vaccines work?

There’s really no scientific precedent for strains taking off to this extent in the middle of the summer, so we can assume ...
