When HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra Went Hunting for Uninjected Kids | Julie Threet

"We knew we had to do a couple of things. First, we had to change the paradigm where people had to come to us… We decided we have to come to you." —HHS Secretary Becerra, April 2022 "I want my grandchildren to know I fought. I fought. I didn't stop fighting. I will pick this thing apart until somebody's behind bars… And we need to make sure this man [Xavier Becerra] doesn't become our governor." —Julie Threet https://flashlightsproductions.substack.com/p/when-hhs-secretary-xavier-becerra Becerra's Stealth Visit to Butte County, CA, in March 2022 In this first part of our second interview, Julie Threet walked me through a chain of FOIA'd emails between a high HHS official, Bonnie Preston, and public health officials in Butte County. Seemingly out of the blue, on March 7, 2022, Preston, who then was HHS Director of US Region 9, contacted Butte County's former public health director Dr. Bernstein to discuss how to increase the Covid mRNA shot injection rate for children. Exactly one week later, Becerra paid a stealth visit to the county and met with a handful of carefully selected pediatricians and parents. Almost nobody knew about this secret meeting until it was over and Becerra had left. Why Butte County? Because at that time it had California's lowest Covid-19 mRNA injection rate for children between age 5 and 11: 16%. Julie said: "They wanted to keep it [the meeting] under wraps, they wanted to have a private conversation. They clearly excluded even our state elected officials. They didn't want them there, they wanted it to be a closed press and I was outraged… I wasn't getting any information out of them during the public session. So finally, I think it was 2023, I did a FOIA request to get all this information out of the county. "So I submitted a public records request and I got a data dump consisting of a ton of emails, PowerPoint presentation, PDF files and Word documents about exactly what happened in this meeting. And so it's a lot of information which I finally put together in a kind of story form so we can follow along and see what really happened in that private meeting. Why was he here? And we answered that question." Becerra, as the FOIA'd documents show, came to Butte County determined to figure out how to get more kids in Butte County as well as neighbouring counties injected with the mRNA Covid-19 shots. Why were pediatricians invited to the meeting? Becerra wanted to hear from them why so few parents brought their 5 to 11 year olds to Butte County's mass vaccination clinics and why pediatricians didn't inject the kids themselves right in their practices. HHS Used the "Minority Health Social Vulnerability Index" to Target Regions With Low Injection Rates Exactly one month after Becerra visited Butte County, he explained how HHS officials targeted specific regions during the Pandemic. Becerra made those revealing comments during what was called the "White House Convening on Equity" event on April 14, 2022: "We established a Minority Health Social Vulnerability Index. A vulnerability index which helps us collect data, good quality data with a better collection methodology so we could actually figure out where we needed to go rather than wait for you to come to us." 1 [https://flashlightsproductions.substack.com/p/when-hhs-secretary-xavier-becerra#footnote-1] That's how HHS officials discovered that little Butte County, rural and conservative leaning, had California's lowest injection rate for children . What they also discovered was that among the overall low injection rate of kids in Butte County and surrounding counties, Hispanic and Native American kids had even lower injection rates than white kids. That's why HHS officials zeroed in on minority kids and invited mainly those pediatricians to the meeting who practiced in areas with high percentages of minority kids. They were singled out among the singled out ones under the disguise of "Health Equity." The whole story of the meeting and its sinister consequences unfolds in all its banal evil in the email chain below. There were many additional documents in the FOIA dump that Julie received and in the second part of the interview we'll go over some of those.

The Transnational Elite's Cure for Earth's "Bad Case of Homo Sapiens" | Jacob Nordangård

"They don't need a man like Epstein anymore because they will have a digital world brain that will know everything about everyone." Jacob Nordangård https://flashlightsproductions.substack.com/p/what-the-transnational-elite-is-doing?utm_source=youtube This is the first part of my interview with Jacob Nordangård about the just released English edition of his book "The Digital World Brain." Nordangård presents a plethora of evidence that the transnational elite is building a global AI-driven governance system via their proxies United Nations, the World Economic Forum, UN member states and and a myriad of other entities. The digital world brain runs on data. The more information it has, the better it can control people. Look at, for example, the Trump administration's Stargate project: its purpose is to build the infrastructure for an enormous digital control system that will eventually contain and run on massive amounts of data. And that's why thousands of new data centers are built in America right now.

episode Inside California's Department of Public Health During the Pandemic: How One Man Spoke Truth to Power | Ronald F. Owens artwork

Inside California's Department of Public Health During the Pandemic: How One Man Spoke Truth to Power | Ronald F. Owens

"Before I clicked send, I looked up & said: "Lord, what are they going to do to me when I send them this email?" And I felt the Lord speak into my spirit: "What am I going to do to you if you don't?" *** When Covid hit, Ronald F. Owens Jr. worked for California's Department of Public Health (CDPH) as a so-called Information Officer 2. His job was to handle media requests related to programs like the Center for Environmental Health, the Center for Family Health and Health Equity. He resigned from CDPH at the end of 2023. In 2024, he published the book "Muzzled Truth: How The California Department of Public Health Rejected COVID-19 Treatment and Vaccine Health Risks Warnings." Owens Recommends the Use of Ivermectin to His Bosses at CDPH In October 2021, Owens received an internal CDPH email asking him to review a draft website created to warn Californians about the "misuse" of ivermectin in treating COVID-19. Rather than rubber-stamping the draft, Owens spent five days researching the topic, consulting knowledgeable friends and drawing on testimony by Dr. Pierre Kory, who successfully treated over 8,000 COVID patients with ivermectin. Owens then sent his carefully crafted email to senior leadership at California's Department of Public Health, arguing that properly dosed ivermectin should be regarded and endorsed as a viable treatment option for Californians. His bosses at CDPH were displeased - that was not at all the kind of answer they had expected. Owens was told that his opinion was not relevant since he wasn't a physician. In addition, he was told that it's the FDA that makes treatment decisions, not CDPH. And lastly he was told that he should never again include senior leadership in such emails. You wonder why they asked him to comment on the website draft in the first place. Apparently, all they wanted from him was to go along and applaud the website draft about the "misuse" of Ivermectin. That clearly was what those further up expected from employees at California's Department of Public Health. If California's Department of Health Had Endorsed Ivermectin as Treatment Option… Imagine for a moment what the effect had been if CDPH had endorsed the use of ivermectin to treat Covid-19. Given California's 40 million residents and CDPH's outsized influence among America's state health departments, a single honest press release about ivermectin would have sent shockwaves across the entire country and could have saved countless lives. Would CDPH have been within its rights to endorse ivermectin despite the fact that the CDC didn't? Yes. Just look at how CDPH defied the new Covid-19 recommendations issued by the FDA and CDC last year and how it continued to recommend regular Covid booster shots for everyone above the age of 6 months. Unfortunately, on March 16, District Court Judge Brian Murphy of Massachusetts issued a preliminary injunction that rolled back all of RFK Jr.'s vaccine policy changes - including the changed Covid-19 injection recommendations. Owens Alerts the CDPH about the Death Toll of the Covid Shots In April 2022, Owens came across a quote from then HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra at a White House "Convening on Equity," in which Becerra appeared to say that COVID-19 shots were "killing people of color… at about two times the rate of white Americans." Owens also reviewed VAERS data showing 26,976 deaths across the U.S. attributed to COVID-19 vaccines at that time. On April 18, 2022, he sent another email to his bosses at California's Department of Public Health alerting them to the horrific death toll of the Covid-19 shots as well as the many serious injuries like strokes, seizures, and heart attacks. Again, management dismissed his concerns. When Owens persisted with his warnings, they issued him a formal counseling memorandum warning him to stop. CDPH Orders Owens to End his Thoughtcrimes The counseling memorandum Owens received was rather Orwellian in nature. He was ordered to correct his wrongthink without delay: "This memo is further intended to direct you in immediately correcting this concern." "This concern" was Owen's concern about the almost 30,000 deaths as well as the huge number of serious injuries doctors and nurses had recorded in VAERS as caused by the Covid shots. By then he knew for sure that he was going to face disciplinary measures. Sooner or later his superiors would dock his pay. He also knew that CDPH would never take his warnings and recommendations seriously. That is why he decided to retire at the end of 2023, years earlier than he would have otherwise. Alerting All 58 California's Boards of Supervisors of Covid Shot Deaths and Injuries After retirement, Owens decided he needed to notify all of California's 58 county governments of the many deaths and injuries the Covid-19 shots caused in California. Why? The plan is to deny county supervisors plausible deniability regarding the immense harms the injections cause. Without plausible deniability, Californian supervisors can be held legally responsible at some point for not having done anything to stop the shots. He told me: "The California Department of Public Health has a partnership with the counties and I'm performing my public information officer role by informing the counties about the danger of the COVID-19 vaccine. When I finish what I'm doing, every county, all 58 counties will have three written notifications: one from July 2024, and one from December 2024. At the time that I appear [before a Board of Supervisors], I follow up by sending them a third email… So each county will have three written notifications and one in-person appearance per county. I'm providing documentation for somebody in the future to hold these public officials accountable legally." When I interviewed him, he had already spoken in front of 51 Boards of Supervisors and was getting ready for a long trip on his motorbike to speak in front of the 52nd one.

Behind the Scenes at a Covid-19 Mass Vaccination Center in California | Julie Threet

"I witnessed 43,000 people get shot with poison… It weighs heavy on my heart but it fuels me." —Julie Threet https://flashlightsproductions.substack.com/p/when-bla-licensure-becomes-a-deadly Throughout 2021, Julie Threet worked as a volunteer at the largest mass vaccination center in the city of Chico in Butte County, California. She was fired at the beginning of January 2022 because she refused to receive a booster shot. In our interview, she describes in detail the center's daily operations and how she turned from trusting the shots to fearing them to tirelessly advocating for their removal from the market. Until today, Julie has warned about the injections over a hundred times in front of 33 different Californian County Boards of Supervisors.
