Nothing Was Developed at "Warp Speed" During Operation Warp Speed. It Was Recycled Failed Research That Was Behind the Warp Speed Illusion.

Operation Warp Speed was a PSYOP directed against the American people. Nothing was being developed at warp speed during Operation Warp Speed. That wasn't necessary since all the required technology for the toxic mRNA shots had already been developed since the SARS and MERS outbreaks in 2002 and 2012.

This is not a new or surprising insight: The strange fact that the first clinical trials for the new, so-called vaccines started almost immediately after Covid-19 was declared a pandemic suggests exactly this.

They sold it as "warp speed" and as "acceleration" but that's a lie: the basic "vaccines" and their technology already existed.

They simply repackaged previously failed vaccine research from earlier SARS, MERS, and also Zika vaccine attempts and pushed the resulting toxic mRNA shots on the population using emergency rules that bypass FDA's usual safety laws.

"The best thing that we can do today is refuse to comply with the digital control grid. And the way we do that is by paying with cash every day." —Susan Luschas

Fighting the Digital Control Grid with Cash

"The only hope we have to keep our freedom is mass noncompliance.

"And I think one of the best things, in fact, the best thing in my opinion that we can do today is refuse to comply with the digital control grid.

"And the way we do that is by paying with cash every day."

Susan Luschas holds a PhD in electrical engineering from MIT and worked on some of the earliest Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and camera chips used in smartphones. Later she moved into the energy sector where she worked on electromagnetic energy generation and storage. She also taught as a professor at Santa Clara University.

Susan and her husband Manuel Luschas left Silicon Valley in 2020 during the so-called pandemic and moved to a small town in South Dakota so that their two daughters could attend school in person, unmasked.

Freezing Bank Accounts of Canadian Truckers Was a Wakeup Call

In early 2022, the Canadian government invoked the Emergencies Act and ordered banks to freeze the bank accounts of truckers organizing the Canadian Freedom Convoy. For at least a week, the bank accounts of around 300 people with about 8 million Canadian dollars in them were frozen. That, Luschas said, was a real wakeup call for many people, including herself.

Truckers were left stranded in Ottawa. Many had no cash on them and could buy neither food nor drink. They could not pay for their hotels and could not buy gas for their trucks to drive home.

Luschas told me:

"They let the cat out of the bag with freezing their bank accounts because then people got a whiff of it: this is possible, they might do this.

"And thank God they did that to the Canadian truckers because that was a lesson and kind of a wake-up call to a lot of people.

"And I think they learned after that 'Ooh, people are getting suspicious. We better not snap the mouse trap until we're really ready to snap it on everybody.'"

"Team Cash" Promotes the Use of Physical Cash

Luschas founded the group "Team Cash" which promotes the use of physical cash as pushback against moving toward centrally-controlled payment systems and programmable money systems.

She led the effort behind South Dakota's legislation demanding that schools must accept cash at school events like sport games after local school districts moved to cashless ticketing.

Catherine Austin Fitts's Solari Report named her 2025 Hero of the Year for her work promoting the use of cash.

The Power of Cash to Fight a Digital Control Grid

"It's entirely possible today to control us. It's just we don't have the infrastructure to control everybody all of the time.

"Once they have the infrastructure to control all of us, they will."

Cash, Luschas told me during the interview, is the only form of money that can't easily be frozen, tracked, or shut off remotely, in contrast to bank accounts, credit cards, or crypto wallets.

She believes paying with cash every day, in particular for groceries and gas, is a practical and easy way for people to resist a fully digital, centrally controlled financial system.

Luschas recommends keeping about three months' worth of cash at home for emergencies like power outages, cyberattacks or freezing of your bank accounts.

"And I think if you're someone like me who's potentially putting a bullseye on your back, then you might want to have more like six months."

Cash, she says, does not only block financial control but also all the surveillance data needed to power and finetune that control.

Are There Backdoors into Cash?

Even cash, Luschas says, has backdoors through which cash can be controlled but in contrast to digital payment methods these backdoors are cumbersome and not easily built.

"There are serial numbers and some things on cash that can be identified.

"I'm sure if they put enough effort into it, they could identify the cash and identify that Susan has that cash and is going to spend it and they want to stop her from spending it.

"I think that's entirely possible, but at this moment in time they are not tracking cash and we have a chance to push back and to send a message by all using cash all the time. So I think we have an opportunity.

"Will they eventually put chips into money or more tracking, better tracking? They may even put QR codes on cash eventually. I don't know."

But for now, there is no backdoor into cash. And that is our opportunity to resist perfecting the digital control grid by not letting go of cash.

"It's entirely possible that there's things they could do, but at this moment in time, we have the opportunity to send a very loud message that we will not comply with the digital control grid."

Utopia Movie — a Horror Movie of Life inside the Digital Control Grid

During the interview we watch Kosta Nika's short and powerful sci-fi film from 2021 about life inside a totalitarian control grid. Afterwards, Susan discusses in detail which facets of life in Utopia are already present in our lives today and which ones are in the process of being created.

The one big difference between the movie and our lives is that we still have cash.

"Health data is gold. They can slice and dice it. They can sell the products of their slicing and dicing. They can use it to create treatment protocols to control the doctors." —Twila Brase

Twila Brase is a registered nurse (RN Registered nurse and PHN Public Health nurse) who co-founded and serves as president of the Citizens' Council for Health Freedom (CCHF).

In 2018, Brase published the book Big Brother in the Exam Room: The Dangerous Truth about Electronic Health Records. That is also the topic of our discussion.

"Once the government has grabbed all the data, then they have the ability to control the doctors, control the hospitals and profile the patients."

Government certified electronic health record systems are not simply record bookkeeping systems. The term is deeply misleading because they are way more than that.

In Twila Brase's book "Big Brother in the Exam Room," she quotes Scott Silverstein, a physician who is an authority in health IT. He called EHR systems "medical meta devices." In 2018 already he said that these systems are not anything resembling electronic filing cabinets, but that they are way, way more. He called them "enterprise-wide command and control systems through which all medical transactions have to pass. Controlling clinicians and clinical resources. They are beyond just a medical device. They are really command and control systems."

Brase said:

"Being certified for the government means that the electronic health record has to do what the government says it has to do."

Many doctors in the United States already had some version of private electronic records before the introduction of Government certified ones. And they worked quite well since such private patient record databases were designed for doctors' practical needs only and were based on doctors' requirements. They had nothing to do with government's goals and desires.

But this changed completely with the introduction of government certified EHRs under Obama in [check]. Twila Base told me:

"Once the government has grabbed all the data, then they have the ability to control the doctors, control the hospitals, profile the patients. One of the things we say in our organization is 'he who holds the data makes the rules.'"

True. And controlling doctors and nurses is a surefire way to turn them into killers, making them into the state's instrument of eliminating part of its population.

Also, governments love getting their hands on as much data as they can since their appetite to make rules and lord over their citizens is very hard to restrain and since their voracious appetite increases in proportion to the growing amount of data available through new technologies.

If massive amounts of data can be used as an easy gateway to control and command citizens, then those in power will almost by default be driven to get access to as much data as they possibly can.

The amount of medical data available to governments is growing exponentially: one example are the data from so-called ambient listening devices that by now have been installed in many doctors' offices. This means that an AI app is recording and transcribing everything that is being said in the exam room - whether the doctor or nurse is present or not.

All this data is stored with the patient's records and can be accessed by a vast number of people, including about 1.5 million of third parties, called "business associates of covered entities." HIPAA, Brase explains, is not there to protect your privacy but to share data with about 700,000 "covered entities" and their business associates.

This is my second interview with Kimberly Overton. In our first interview, Overton talked about the horrifying events she witnessed as a critical care nurse during Covid in a hospital in Hendersonville, Tennessee. All except two of the hundreds of Covid patients she witnessed being put on ventilators died. Nonetheless, the treatment protocols remained unchanged.

To this day, ventilators and Remdesivir are protected as medical countermeasures under the PREP Act that was declared for Covid-19 (and ends only in December 2029).

Overton quit her job in protest against the hospital killings and founded the organization "The Nurse Freedom Network" in the summer of 2021.

Later, in 2022, she founded Remnant Healthcare, a private membership association that provides nursing and also patient advocacy services. According to its website, its mission is to "provide compassionate, patient-centered healthcare services using holistic modalities and a root cause approach."

Patient advocacy services is what we are talking about in our second interview: What are they? Why are they needed? And why is it that everyone should have an advocacy plan in place well before setting foot into a hospital?

"The Board of Peace is not a peace organization. It is the first fully operational prototype of technocratic governance — a privately controlled international body chaired for life by one man, administering 2.3 million people who have no seat, no vote, and no veto."

Wood sees Gaza as a test case for something much larger: "This is not a reconstruction plan. This is a blueprint."

"The patient was not speaking to her doctor. The patient was speaking to Anthony Fauci and the government… It was a horrible betrayal. It was an awful betrayal." James Thorp

"There is strong evidence that the rollout of the vaccines for pregnant women was pre-planned, like the pandemic."

This is the first part of a three-part interview with Dr. James Thorp about his and co-author's Celia Farber's book "Sacrifice: How the Deadliest Vaccine in History Targeted the Most Vulnerable."

Dr. Thorp specializes in maternal and fetal medicine and treats women with high risk pregnancies. He has forty-seven years of clinical experience.

In the first part of our interview he discusses how the federal government weaponized the three big OBGYN professional organizations (ACOG, ABOG and SMFM) as transmission belts for government orders to compel America's tens of thousands of obstetricians and gynecologists to push the toxic mRNA Covid shots on pregnant women.

ACOG, ABOG and SMFM, Dr. Thorp told me, "are supposed to be a non-governmental organizations... The government weaponized these independent organizations and used them to do their dirty work."

ABOG, ACOG and SMFM Became the Willing Executioners of Government Commands That Were Harmful or Deadly for the Unborn

How were these three large and powerful professional organizations weaponized? With a flood of money, billions of federal dollars.

From not recommending the shots to pregnant women at the end of 2020, all three medical OBGYN organizations quickly pivoted to strongly recommending them in July of 2021 and shortly after, in the fall of 2021, threatening OBGYN doctors with the loss of their medical certifications if they refused to go along.

Thorp said:

"It was around December of 2020. The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal and Fetal Medicine, they all said we're never gonna push the vaccine in pregnancy.

"We're not gonna do that…

"Now those same three societies did a complete 180. They decided to push it, push the vaccine in pregnant women.

"But look what happened in April of 2021. They received $13 billion from HHS through the project called CCC, the COVID-19 Community Corps.

Around the same time, in the spring of 2021, major medical journals also began promoting the vaccine in pregnant women - despite the fact that there were no safety data and despite the fact that over 80% of Pfizer's pregnant clinical trial participants whose pregnancy was followed lost their unborn children.

The American Board of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Has Enormous Leverage Over America's and Canada's OBGYN Doctors

ABOG, which is a non-profit organization, does not issue OBGYN licenses. Issuing medical licenses is the job of state medical boards.

ABOG does something else: It certifies OB-GYN physicians in the US and Canada.

Such board certification is voluntary and, at least in theory, a doctor doesn't strictly need it in order to practice. However, the reality is different:

• Hospital credentialing committees often require certification (or "board eligible" status) to grant admitting/surgical privileges.

• Malpractice insurers may decline or complicate coverage for uncertified specialists.

• Health insurance networks frequently require certification for in-network reimbursement.

• Employers, especially hospital systems and large practices, typically mandate it as a condition of employment.

In other words, without ABOG certifications, OBGYN doctors are severely limited in the way they can practice their professions. Therefore, ABOG has huge leverage over all OBGYN doctors in the United States and Canada.

The Federation of State Medical Boards Threatens Doctors with Loss of License; ABOG Threatens Doctors with Loss of Certification

In September of 2021, ABOG sent an email to its 62,000 members threatening them with the loss of their certifications if they spread "misinformation" - without ever qualifying what such misinformation actually constitutes.

Here is the first sentence of the email where ABOG declares that it "fully supports" a statement published by the FSMB, the Federation of State Medical Boards. These medical boards, as explained further up, license doctors and therefore have even greater leverage over doctors than ABOG:

"The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) fully supports the statement published by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) that asserts that providing misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine contradicts physicians' ethical and professional responsibilities, and therefore may subject a physician to disciplinary actions, including suspension or revocation of their medical license."

Here is the the FSMB's statement that ABOG is referring to in its fall 2021 email:

"Physicians who generate and spread COVID-19 vaccine misinformation or disinformation are risking disciplinary action by state medical boards, including the suspension or revocation of their medical license."

Dr. Thorp told me the following about ABOG's infamous email:

"There's a threatening email. And, by the way, the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology deleted this email.

"They deleted it because when you read the language, it was literally like Adolf Hitler or you know, Mao Tse-tung: 'You will do this. You will not spread disinformation.'

"This email was sent to sixty-two thousand OBGYN doctors in Canada, the United States of America, and some countries in South America. 62,000 OBGYN doctors.

"Dr. George Wendel was the executive director of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, at that time.

"And by the way, I've been highly regarded by all of those organizations. I was an examiner for the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology at around the turn of the century. So these were my colleagues. I was a senior examiner.

"I was given awards by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. The Society of Maternal Field Medicine, I was given many research awards. I was on their board of directors for a three-year term at the turn of the century.

Doctors' Response to ABOG's Email: Deadly Silence, Betrayal of Pregnant Women and Their Unborn Babies

I asked Thorp how doctors' reacted to ABOG's outrageous email which tried to force doctors to break their Hippocratic oath and betray their patients.

The reaction was "dead silence" he said:

"Dead silence. They saluted. They bowed. They wanted to continue collecting their paychecks and be good servants…

"We talked about it [the email] and a lot of people were really upset, but nobody would raise their hand.

"You gotta remember when you get a letter from the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, you do what you're told to do and you don't step out of line. And they didn't.

Now, there's a few other obstetricians around the country that agreed with me, but they've told me that I'm the only maternal fetal medicine physician in the country who spoke out.

Instead of advocating on behalf of their pregnant as well as not pregnant or not yet pregnant patients and warning them against taking the shots, most OBGYN doctors, according to Dr. Thorp, abused the trust of their patients and convinced huge numbers of pregnant women to take the shots - and take them at any time during their pregnancy, including during the most vulnerable first trimester.

Thorp told me during the interview:

"My definition of totalitarian state is when most of the citizens of a state know it's a lie, but they remain silent. And that's exactly where the United States of America is right now. You know, they're still pushing the COVID nineteen vaccine."

Dr. Thorp Responded to ABOG's Email. He never received a Reply.

In January of 2022, Thorp sent a long response to ABOG's email in which he cites over one thousand studies documenting harms of the shots and challenges ABOG to a public debate: "I invited the board to have me come down and present the data. I challenged everybody on the board of directors of ABOG to debate me".

In his book 'Sacrifice," he writes:

My online ninety-eight-page letter included 1,019 peer-reviewed medical journal publications—in just twelve months—that documented injuries and deaths after the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines. Let that sink in: 1,019 peer-reviewed medical journal articles in just twelve months after rollout of this lethal, injurious shot.

And here is the beginning of his reply to ABOG's threatening email:

"Couched in bullying language, ABOG's Statement Regarding Dissemination of COVID-19 Misinformation begs critically important questions for both constituents and patients alike.

"These questions are intrinsic to a physician's ability to treat patients free from conflict of interest over fear of reprisal from ABOG (or others). Even more important, these questions concern matters essential to safeguarding and protecting maternal and fetal health and well-being, and are essential to upholding the physician's oath to do no harm.

"First, what constitutes that which ABOG deems "misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine"? Second, by whom and how is such "misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine" determined?

"ABOG's Statement Regarding Dissemination of COVID-19 Misinformation fails to provide answers to these questions and also fails to acknowledge the growing body of scientific, peer-reviewed evidence that the experimental mRNA and DNA gene therapy injections are a failed strategy that have killed, injured, and endangered many.

"ABOG's widely circulated Statement Regarding Dissemination of COVID-19 Misinformation has placed patients' health in jeopardy while leaving constituents holding the proverbial bag as their medical license and livelihood hang in the balance.

"Patient safety is sacrificed as constituents toe the line—forced to choose between pushing experimental gene therapies shown to be dangerous to both mom and fetus or lose their livelihoods.

"ABOG's Statement Regarding Dissemination of COVID-19 Misinformation turns a blind eye to this ever-growing evidence and dodges these thorny issues by pointing to published statements made by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) and the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). However, upon further examination, neither the FSMB nor the ABMS provides adequate answers.

"If anything, the express collaboration of ABOG with the FSMB and ABMS, together with the language of the FSMB's and ABMS's individual statements, raises red flags about potential collusion, bias, and conflicts of interest within the various medical stakeholders, Big Tech, and the media."

He says that he never received a reply from ABOG to his letter.

In fact, ABOG left him alone. It did not revoke Thorp's certification as threatened in the email. Nor did the state medical board revoke his license.

The Consequences of the Shots Were Catastrophic

Dr. Thorp told me:

"What I saw during 2020 was really nothing in terms of major obstetrical disasters. The disasters began early in 2021, coincident with the vaccine rollout.

"I saw severe menstrual abnormalities, very increased risk of miscarriage, very bloody miscarriages. We define a miscarriage as a pregnancy loss up until less than 20 weeks. At 20 weeks it becomes a fetal death. That's how we define it in the United States of America. Other countries can define it a little bit differently, but the vast majority of miscarriages will occur before twelve weeks.

"So a late miscarriage then would be between twelve weeks and twenty weeks. Those are very rare, but I saw many of them.

"I saw significant increase in malformations of every organ system.

"I saw a devastating increase in what we call cervical insufficiency, where the cervix opens without symptoms, membranes rupture, the pregnancy is lost. That can occur at 17, 18, 19, 20 weeks, or 24 weeks, 26 weeks, 30 weeks. Substantial increase.

"I saw a substantial increase in severe growth disturbances, fetal death, fetal malformations, fetal cardiac arrhythmias, blood clots in the fetus, fetal cardiac arrest.

"I saw an increase in babies that were delivered prematurely, premature rupture of membranes, very heavy bleeding episodes, blood clots in the mother.

"Neurologic disease in the mother, new onset seizure, and then in delivery a substantial increase in hemorrhage.

"The babies had an increased risk of dying after birth and a substantial increase in the babies going to the neonatal intensive care unit.

"So it was it was horrible. And it was a very difficult experience because I of course had been following the data from other practitioners, from nurses around the country who were seeing the same thing."

"When I started this, I thought I was just fighting a data center, and the amount of corruption that has been uncovered is mind blowing." —Lori Merriman

https://flashlightsproductions.substack.com/p/inside-the-fierce-battle-over-a-6?utm_source=youtube

"I thought we were in the United States and I thought that they worked for the people."

Festus is a small town thirty-five miles south to St. Louis, Missouri.

About a year ago and unbeknownst to Festus' 14,000 residents, the town's city council started secretly meeting with real estate developer CRG to discuss building a massive 360-acre hyperscale data center in a wooded area in Festus.

The North American real estate firm CRG is the real estate development arm of the construction company Clayco. Bob Clark is Clayco's founder.

Lori Merriman, who lives in Festus, became a leading force in the town's fight against the data center.

She told me that it took three to four months before citizens in Festus got wind of what was happening behind the scenes. Once they did, they turned up in force to the next council meeting where the mayor and councilmen told them not to worry and that the whole scenario with the data center was completely hypothetical.

Just two days later, the city council voted unanimously to approve the rezoning of a large woodland area to allow for the construction of a hyperscale data center called "Festus Campus."

The fight was on. Battles have been waging since November 2025 and they will continue for an unforeseeable time.

"We the people have been completely taken out. Did you vote for Pax Silica? I don't remember voting for Pax Silica. This wasn't on my list." Pax Silica - Silicon Peace: America's Claim to Global AI Hegemony

Ever heard about Pax Silica? Probably not. But it's up there together with Pax Romana and Pax Britannica. At least that's the claim and the intent of those who launched the Pax Silica initiative in December of 2025.

Eras are usually declared after the fact. The Pax Romana was declared more than a thousand years after it happened. Not so Pax Silica: it's an announcement of an era that is in the process of being created right now - or at least that's the hope of Pax Silica's architects.

Eras used to be named after geographic locations. Not Pax Silica. It's named for the material that functions as a semiconductor and that enables AI control systems.

Humans as Nodes Inside an AI Based "Security Economy"

In our interview, Courtenay Turner argues that this Silicon Peace era is creating global control systems that turn human beings into data "nodes" within a programmable "security economy." The traditional concept of autonomous citizens with individual rights is disappearing; humans will have no meaningful say in the AI governed world of Pax Silica.

"People are not part of this equation because people have become nodes. We're just nodes for that infrastructure."

Turner is the host of The Courtenay Turner Podcast. She and Patrick Wood co-authored the recently released The Final Betrayal: How Technocracy Destroyed America, a book about the rise of technocratic control systems. You can find her substack here.
