They are not above starting a war in order to cover up their own misdeeds, and if you think that\u2019s wrong, feel free to open a history book and check for yourself.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>What recent events have been fizzling away below the surface that might be important enough that a distraction might be warranted? Who knows, but I\u2019m sure it has nothing to do with an Indian lab investigating Covid and discovering patented DNA tracts embedded in it with a Moderna fingerprint, suggesting that it was manufactured. I\u2019m far less sure that this prompted the CEO of the company to ditch his Twitter account and shares and distance himself from the whole affair.\u00a0<\/p><p>I\u2019m equally sure it has nothing to do with the recent rumours around the internet of leaked Pfizer documents that 43000 of the 45000 people in the stage 3 trials reported adverse symptoms to the vaccine including immune deficiency and cancer.\u00a0<\/p><p>If you\u2019re wondering which vaccine, it\u2019s the one that you\u2019re meant to take multiple doses of but world leaders don\u2019t. You know, the one where they kept threatening to take away your job, your life and your family if you didn\u2019t submit to taking it; the one that caused world-wide riots and protests that culminated in Canada becoming a fascist state under Trudeau.\u00a0<\/p><p>Of course, it could also be something to do with the recent Maxwell trial, the one where literally hundreds of wealthy elites were accused of the most vile of crimes against humanity, on a holiday island set up to cater to their horrendous tastes. If you weren\u2019t following the trial, that is understandable because the mainstream media chose to essentially ignore it and the legal system nicely covered it up, locked the files and actually protected the accused.\u00a0<\/p><p>Nothing to see here.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2dc6c5f8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2dc6c5f8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-410b7695\" data-id=\"410b7695\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2c71ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f2c71ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"384\" src=\"http:\/\/edgeverse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/look-768x384.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-4949\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/edgeverse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/look-768x384.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/edgeverse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/look-300x150.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/edgeverse.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/look.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The truth is there on the internet -

One viral video shows the destruction of a tank and, when the local freedom-fighters opened an ammo-box, they discovered it filled with rusty nails instead of bullets.

Wars have always employed fear-tactics to destabilise an enemy, and that\u2019s certainly true. It\u2019s entirely possible that Putin really did expect the Ukraine to roll over and submit as soon as any tanks came rolling into their streets. It\u2019s possible, it\u2019s just unlikely.\u00a0<\/p><p>It\u2019s as unlikely as the fact that nobody has taken the step to disrupt communications, and when the Ukrainian government had given the advice to their people of switching off their internet devices and removing the batteries to stop them from being tracked, Western billionaires started rolling in free satellite internet services.\u00a0<\/p><p>It looks less and less like theatre and more like a game of Stratego played by lunatic psychotics between doses of mood-stabilisers.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2f9edddf
