*Teens are Talking About Epstein

Here’s the first few paragraphs of a well-written piece about the effect of the Epstein revelations, by a parent whose child informs him that the kids at school are all talking about what it means.

The Thinning ~ Notes from Inside the Veneer

by Joshua Stylman (full article on his Substack page here)


My kid came home from school the other day and told me the Epstein files are lunchroom conversation. Not among teachers (at least that they’re aware of), but among students in the hallways, between classes.

What a crazy thing for a child to be talking about. I mean think about that – children casually discussing whether the people who run the world have been raping and trafficking other children.

My son was telling me this the way he’d tell me about the all-star game and I’m standing in my kitchen trying to figure out what to even say. Because the weight of that – what it means that it’s entered the consciousness of our children – is so heavy. The gap between the world we thought we lived in and the one that actually exists has become so thin that even teenagers can now see through it. And yet, that’s where we are.

Anyone close to me knows that I’ve been railing about our fake reality for the last few years. That the politicians, the entertainers, the captains of industry, the media, and the philanthropists – some of them, most of them (all of them?) – have been looting and pillaging the place. Literally. And now our kids are learning it too.


* COVID WAS A PLANDEMIC

Did you know that tabletop wargaming has been going on for decades? Or that sociopathic so-called ‘scientists’ are busy beavering away in military-funded labs around the world, including Wuhan, China, making bioweapons because ‘their enemies’ might do it first? And did you know that over the decades the pharmaceutical industry has been captured by militaristic paranoia? If your answers are ‘No’ then it’s time to do some research.

You could start here with Whitney Webb’s timely article providing background and context.

TWO MONTHS BEFORE COVID WAS ANNOUNCED, key players gathered for Event 201 to make plans to manage a global pandemic. Two months later, like magic, a “deadly” virus arrives, coordinated global lockdowns roll out smoothly, and world’s people were terrorized into compliance. We had to take an experimental jab filled with ‘new technology’ junk they sold as “safe and effective”.

The following are excerpts from ‘The Real Anthony Fauci’ by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Exhaustively researched and annotated, scrupulous attention to facts and documentation, it’s the kind of revelatory book that only comes along once in a century. I read the 450+ page book TWICE so you don’t have to.

“Participants included a group of high-ranking kahunas from the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, Bloomberg/Johns Hopkins University, the CDC, various media powerhouses, the Chinese government, a former CIA/NSA director, vaccine maker Johnson & Johnson, the globe’s largest pharmaceutical company; finance and biosecurity industry chieftains, and the president of Edelman, the world’s largest PR firm.

“War games became instruments for imposing obedience. Dark Winter, Atlantic Storm, and Global Mercury were only three of over a dozen Germ Games staged by military, medical, and intelligence planners leading up to COVID-19. Each of the Kafkaesque exercises became uncanny predictors of a dystopian age that pandemic planners dubbed the ‘New Normal’.”

“The consistent feature is an affinity for militarizing medicine and introducing centralized autocratic governance. Each rehearsal ends with the same grim punchline: the global pandemic is an excuse to justify the imposition of tyranny and coerced vaccination.

“The panelists role-played strategies for co-opting the world’s most influential political institutions, subverting democratic governance, and positioning themselves as unelected rulers of the emerging authoritarian regime. They practised techniques for ruthlessly controlling dissent, expression and movement, and degrading civil rights, autonomy, and sovereignty. The Gates simulation focused on deploying the usual psyops retinue of propaganda, surveillance, censorship, isolation, and political and social control to manage the pandemic. The official eighty-nine page summary is a miracle of fortune-telling—an uncannily precise month-by-month prediction of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.”

“After 9/11, “the War on Terror triggered a tectonic shift in global security priorities and elephantine ripples in defense spending patterns across the globe as open democracies began shifting to a security state footing. The revival in US government interest in germ warfare opened new opportunities. The US bio-defense budget went from $137 million in 1997 to $14.5 billion for 2001-2004. Between 2001 and 2014, the US spent around $80 billion on bio-defense. Since germ weaponry was still illegal, vaccines became a critical euphemism for the revival of the multi-billion dollar bioweapons industry.”    

“The Pentagon could not get into compliance with the Biological Weapons Convention which limited the Pentagon’s freedom to undertake new research programs, particularly those referred to as “the leading edge of bio-defense”. So then-VP Dick Cheney transferred the Pentagon’s research to the National Institutes of Health, specifically to NIAID. By 2004, the transfer was complete and NIAID was transformed into an arm of the defense sector. This made NIAID Director Anthony Fauci a  major player in biodefense and germ warfare.” 

[During his first term] Trump’s Health officials complained “that they found themselves marginalized as Operation Warp Speed devolved into a partnership between the military and the pharmaceutical industry.”  Physician and biological warfare expert, Meryl Nass, MD.: “Coercion should be the last strategy to consider in a pandemic. If you have a remedy that works, people will flock to it. It’s troubling that the first and only option was creating a police state.”  

 

* KICLEI UPDATE

Regular readers will recall the Gazette report that CAO McCulloch agreed to have a conversation with KICLEI’s Maggie Hope Braun. It was hoped she would inform him about sneaky globalist plans: climate action disguises systematic dismantling of democratic governance to weaken municipalities. Unfortunately, as soon as KICLEI was making some headway, it was attacked by the McMedia, in particular the National Post, which maligned and smeared using falsehoods, a common silencing tactic these days. Braun refuted the falsehoods but the stress took its toll. Long story short, for now, no conversation with the CAO. 

Braun reported: “At the FCM [Federation of Canadian Municipalities] conference, an ICLEI session labelled our message as “misinformation”. When councillors asked for a response to our documented concerns, ICLEI refused—saying even acknowledging our questions would “give them attention.” Let that sink in. “Elected officials are being told not to examine questions of jurisdiction, consent, or cost—because the answers might empower their communities. But it’s not working. Across the country, councillors are stepping up. 

“In Alberta, our issues became election issues. We are breaking through. And they know it. Wheatland County the Town of Vermilion and others withdrew from FCM, setting a precedent for others to follow. Lethbridge challenged PCP/IPCC targets, recommending a 20% GHG reduction instead of 40%–saving $63 million in projected carbon credit costs. In B.C., we exposed the truth: the Net-Zero Action Charter frameworks are voluntary, not mandatoryThat opens the door for respectful withdrawals and local debate. 

Reflecting on 2025 challenges, Braun said, “If you’re feeling burnt out or behind—so am I. But none of us are alone. Every email, delegation, and conversation you had this year helped lay a foundation for something powerful.”

* Update: Next Generation 911 

from Whitney Webb, Investigative Journalist, author of One Nation Under Blackmail.  www.unlimitedhangout.com

Regular Gazette readers will recall LG’s NG911 recent article which reported on Lillooet’s CAO pursuing this new technology and the “free money” being given to those who adopt it. My research revealed the high risk of loss of privacy and rights, invasive surveillance, the militaristic language being used, as well as shadowy players located in the Bahamas. This update broadens that article with information gleaned from Chris Hedges’ interview of Whitney Webb on the Chris Hedges Report on YouTube—a pointed and important discussion about more of the nefarious motives for the so-called “upgrade” to 911 services.

Webb: “NG911 isn’t just about emergencies, it’s about hoovering our data for predictive policing (“predpol”): who’s used 911 in the past, who’s likely to use it in the future. Companies are cropping up to control 911 Emergency Call Centers across the U.S,” Webb said. 

One such company is Carbyne. From Wikipedia: Carbyne “develops advanced emergency communications solutions, focuses on providing real-time video, location and data transmission to enhance emergency response systems worldwide.” This is the translation: “Real-time” means your cell phone is connected to the grid 24/7/365, no privacy, too bad so sad. “Worldwide” means the centralization of all human data and the advancement of one world government and top-down controls by anonymous sociopaths who don’t live here. Extreme surveillance is at hand, people. But, as my research revealed, the current 9-1-1 will still be available, at least for the time being, so when they come knocking, selling you on how great this new NG911 is, scaring you with potential emergencies, touting the incredible benefits for your “safety and well-being”, shucking and jiving about ‘new and improved’, just say NO. 

Other folks have been keeping an eye on this issue, including Philip Perras, the mayor of Pender Island. He’s been sending lengthy letters to all municipalities in BC, including ours. The following is an excerpt from his December 2025 letter:

Systemic Accountability Failures and the E-Comm 911 Review

Two reports were released:

“These issues are not isolated. The independent EY review of E-Comm 911 completed in September (released publicly on November 7) — confirms what municipalities have been saying for years: the system lacked clear governance, financial controls, and meaningful oversight. EY found that accountability effectively stopped nowhere, with unclear authority, unpredictable levy increases and no contingency fund for emergencies — the very business they are in.

“The first identified major operational and budgeting failures and issued 25 recommendations, including stronger financial controls, a stakeholder-management framework, and a review of E-Comm’s 23-member board, which currently includes no Vancouver Island representation — despite Island municipalities being required to absorb downloaded levies. The second report outlined four possible service-delivery models and emphasized that the province’s role in emergency communications must finally be defined.

Importantly, while the Province had promised an independent review back in December 2024, it was the unity of the ten South Island mayors — standing together on the Legislature steps in January 2025 to protest the downloading of 911 costs — that forced the issue into the political foreground and ensured the review could not be quietly sidelined. Their public stance made it impossible for the Province to downplay, delay, or dilute the process, especially after years of unresolved concerns despite municipalities having been notified of the impending cost shift as early as 2019. For years, E-Comm operated on trust rather than transparency. The EY findings now confirm what local governments had been warning all along: accountability was missing, oversight was weak, and only municipal unity made the truth impossible to ignore.”


* MAYOR & COUNCILORS ON THE BALL

Councilor McNary rejected a bylaw requiring small businesses to provide EV outlet parking. “So, they’d be forced to become a gas station?” he asked. “They would have to pay for the electricity?”           Alpine Engineering in Kelowna, a consulting firm whose services cost taxpayers alot, are currently overhauling our “outdated” bylaws. Alpine also suggested a bylaw requiring homeowners to retrofit and install a 240-volt outlet, which Mayor Hopfl took umbrage with. Councillor Wiebe said new residential builders should not be mandated to include EV outlets. Councilor McNary informed council that “the BC Government is backing off EVs, our hydro grid cannot cope with EV charging.” 

Watch the lively discussions on YouTube, District of Lillooet, Sept. 16th at 49:00 minutes and Oct. 7th at 1:15 minutes. Public discussion and 3rd reading will be held on Nov. 4th   

SOME FACTS: 

(1) EVs are NOT GREEN.

(2) A mine takes 16 years to get up and running—Net Zero requires hundreds of thousands of mines and they destroy ecosystems.

(3) We don’t have electrical grid capacity.

(4) EV battery lasts about 170K kms, unless it bursts into flames or freezes in the winter. The cost to replace is $50K.

(5) People aren’t buying them.


* CLIMATE PIRACY IN LILLOOET?

We better take an active interest in globalist policy because globalists are taking a very active interest in us – and council has accepted their money.

Climate bureaucracy gives “grants” that include control levers for worming their way inside the legal charters of communities like ours. Democracy and transparency end up being sidelines—without the awareness of CAOs, CFOs, Mayors and Councillors and definitely without taxpayers’ knowledge.

In 2023, Lillooet received an LGCAP (Local Government Climate Action Program) grant of $52,078 which has to be used for an approved climate category like CO2, GHG (greenhouse gas emissions), EVs, Net Zero. The former Chief Financial Officer held back the money but this year it’s been applied to an HVAC upgrade at City Hall. The upgrade reduces a tiny fraction of Canada’s tiny fraction of greenhouse gas emissions.

That “free money” required us to fill out and return a 19-page (!) climate action report comprised of detailed questions designed to micro-manage absolutely everything: new housing, roads, development, town assets, energy, transportation. Then CFO filled out the survey, avoiding much of the intrusive demand for information and action by stating that Lillooet did not have the financial capacity, or the expertise, to fulfill the request. Nevertheless, the report makes clear that the climate scam push is fully under way. “Free money” gives away our authority to make our own decisions and protect our fiscal solvency. Council must wake up to this long-term predatory scheme and opt out.

KICLEI (Kicking the International out  of Local Initiatives) helps town councils avoid these fiscal sinkholes: “What we’re seeing across Canada is a form of governance by proxy – where unelected global networks embed themselves into local government through programs like PCP (United Nations Partners for Climate Protection)m shaping policy through standardized plans and staff training. This isn’t violent—but it’s coordinated, ideological, and largely hidden from public scrutiny.”

“ICLEI and FCM (Federation of Canadian Municipalities) have created a system where one staff member and one councillor become the internal champions of a pre-scripted agenda. This mimics the structure of institutional capture—where outside influence steers local decisions through embedded advocates.” This is what it looks like:

“BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the municipality of Lillooet appoint…

  a) a corporate staff person and

  b) an elected official

to oversee implementation of the PCP milestones and be the points of contact for the PCP program within the municipality.

We’ve got two corporate staff persons — Deputy Corporate Office and CAO McCulloch who appointed himself (* see note below) Corporate Officer on July 15th. We taxpayers need to start paying attention; our apathy will allow the globalists to override democracy. Those who understand these threats and are quietly considering getting involved in local politics need to get elected asap!

*Post addition/correction: CAO McCulloch asked the Gazette to clarify that he did not “appoint himself” but rather he was appointed and he took an oath; it’s a legal requirement to have a Corporate Officer and the CFO leaving left that position empty. LG apologizes for the mistake.

If anybody would like to watch that in the council meeting, see it at the July 15th meeting at the 11 minute mark.

* The Dangers of Cell Phone Convenience

Cell phones make life easier. They save us time. Payments are fast. Most of the time our financial transactions are safe. They make it possible to avoid boring tasks. And they’re addictive as hell–which is why so many of us have our faces glued to them and the globalist oligarchy are using them to gradually trap us inside a digital gulag.

Technology is moving fast, so fast that we don’t yet have the legal rights on the books which would protect us from technology’s harmful effects or the tyrannical goals of globalist sociopaths. Check out this website, Resist CBDC, which identifies the core issues facing us when we have no digital rights.

  • Right to opt out of digital systems, including Digital Identity and Digital Currencies.
  • Cash and cheques (physical systems) remain.
  • Right to privacy, anonymity and data protection.
  • Right to freedom of movement, travel, and assembly. No domestic travel passports. 
  • Right to bodily autonomy. We can say NO to gene-modifying vaccines.
  • All existing rights shall not be limited by the implementation of digital technologies.

Resist CBDC provides tons of great information including free downloads and letter templates to assist in getting the word out.

The legal gap is being exploited by nefarious businesses who are jumping into the game while the going is good. Here’s one example in this post about Next Generation 9-1-1 coming soon to Lillooet.

They are starting to coerce us into compliance. We saw the start of this during COVID. If you think there’s no correlation between COVID and digital ID, you are not well informed.

We never signed on for any of this. Financial expert, Catherine Fitts: “Once they have every single human on digital ID being centrally controlled by a global monetary system, they will have complete control.” 

SAY NO TO DIGITAL ID. SAYING NO IS ALL WE HAVE BUT IF WE ALL DO IT, “NO” IS ALL WE NEED!  

Refuse those “convenient” apps, think about the reasons “why” they’re being offered. Keep cash alive, tell your bank you won’t go digital.

* Neil Oliver Urges Us to Watch “The Agenda”

The Agenda — Their Vision Your Future by Oracle Films

“I’m not in the habit of publicizing movies very much but in the case of The Agenda I make a rare exception. You have the distillation, the executive summary if you will, of frankly all a person needs to know about the threat we face as a species in the face of technocrats, oligarchs, bankers, the trilateral commission, the club of Rome, the World Health Organization, the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, the International Monetary Fund, the Bank for International Settlements, and the so-called national governments and the NOS and innumerable nests of unelected unaccountable bureaucrats that do their bidding. The details are all there in The Agenda film but suffice to say the intention on the part of all of the above listed entities is total control—total control of us and everything that grows, walks, swims, or flies on or under planet Earth.   

“Words like totalitarian and dictatorship do not and cannot do justice to the extent of the proposed overreach. Totalitarians and dictators sound almost romantic by comparison. Totalitarians and dictators have been with us and among us since the beginning but the ambitions of emperors of old—of creatures like Stalin and Mao—were ultimately limited, limited by logistics, limited by the tyranny of distance, limited by the reach of their intelligence services, limited by the might of their armed forces. “What we are threatened by now and what The Agenda lays out in forensic detail is something altogether new.

The reach made possible by technology now means we’re standing in the gate to a digital cage from which, unless we turn aside now, there may be no escape, no getting out. A handful of narcissist psychopaths has laid claim to everything on earth, our lives included. Everything down to the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat, everything that lives or grows or lies within the soils, sediments and rocks beneath our feet, every last grain of sand and blade of grass has been commoditized and claimed by those that have persuaded themselves the world is theirs and to hell with us. All we have to do is wake up and open our eyes and that nightmare future they have planned will disappear instantly and completely.”

* WHAT BAD MOVIE IS THIS?

(courtesy of Connecting the Dots newsletter, February 2025)

Most people prefer going along to get along, which is understandable. But our children’s future is calling on us to educate ourselves. Traditional political and democratic structures are coming off the rails. This iceberg meme illustrates the dark agenda bearing down on us. Those who don’t understand it—and don’t realize that COVID serves its agenda—are dangerously uninformed.

(Anti-vax? Didn’t used to be: I’ve had 40 , 20 during school, 19 for travels. The 40th—sold as new “safe and effective” mRNA technology—damaged my cardiac function and hastened my father’s death. ~ Troy)

Since 1986, pharmaceutical companies have total legal immunity from the injuries and deaths their products cause; greed is flourishing within vaccine science and all medical agencies. In 2020:

500 new billionaires were created during COVID, one every 17 hours!

The world’s ten richest men, notably Bill Gates, doubled their fortunes.

The greatest transfer of wealth in history has occurred; incomes of 99% of humanity fell.

The same people who made the so-called vaccine also demanded global lock downs. They own everything and want total control, too. What did we hear repeatedly during COVID? It was time for “The Great Reset”; their absurd, anti-human agenda will tear down society. Their goal for us, (but not them): we “own nothing and be happy”.

When we watch movies like the Hunger Games, Divergent, The Handmaid’s Tale, or Mad Max, we know what side we’re on. But then, in real life, when so many signals are pointing toward tyranny, we aren’t seeing it—because corporate-owned media isn’t reporting. Instead, we are distracted, fearful, tribal and fighting among ourselves. Ignorance and emotional confusion are by design.

Anyone still believing those at the top are working for our well-being needs to wake up.

Why is freedom of speech under attack? Blacklock’s Reporter discovered Liberal Minister Karina Gould paid researchers nearly $370,000 to discourage media and the public from questioning authority. If we can’t question authority, then we can’t reveal bad laws or shoddy vaccines. We can’t alert our fellow citizens…and despots get into power and stay there. They decide and we obey. Without free speech, all other rights disappear. Right now, those speaking up are being silenced, censored, debanked, jailed—or worse. We’re living in one of those dangerous times they teach about in history class.

What to do? Manage our information terrain. Learn to recognize brainwashing and propaganda. Find high quality news and information. Follow independent journalists. Be skeptical. Research. Verify. Use the power of the internet.    Very important for divided families to heal and come back together! Conversations from the heart will lead to new awareness. And it begins with forgiveness; everyone has made mistakes. When our communities get back to normal, we’ll be better able to protect the future for our children’s children’s children.
