Welcome To The QR Bunker

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We are researchers who deal in open-source information, reasoned argument, and dank memes. We do battle in the sphere of ideas and ideas only. We neither need nor condone the use of force in our work here.

Big Bad Canada Pushes to Protect Profits from Mexico

https://www.globalresearch.ca/big-bad-canada-pushes-protect-profits-from-mexico/5819420

The Trudeau government is pressing Mexico to maintain its loosely regulated, pro-capitalist mining policies.

Recently the Mexican government initiated more socially and ecologically sound mining legislation. The reform shortens mining concessions, tightens rules for water permits and requires companies to provide at least 10 per cent of profits to the communities where they operate. In “Mexico’s ‘shock’ new mining law hurts juniors most,” Mining.com complains that “companies now have to deal with an increased burden of pre-consultation, impact studies and water concessions, among other things. The new law also requires financial commitments (bonding) that would be difficult to meet for junior explorers.” While Canada’s many “junior” exploration firms will be adversely affected, the reforms will benefit local communities and the environment. But that hasn’t stopped Ottawa from pressing the Mexican government to shift gears.

Prior to making an announcement in Calgary on Monday, Notley called the Calgary Police Services (CPS) to escort The Counter Signal editor-in-chief Keean Bexte from the premises.

TAKING STEPS TO IMPOSE VISA RESTRICTIONS ON INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED IN UNDERMINING NIGERIA'S DEMOCRATIC PROCESS
Press Statement by Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State
15th May 2013
Taking Steps to Impose Visa Restrictions on Individuals Involved in Undermining the Democratic Process During Nigeria’s 2023 Elections Cycle
The United States is committed to supporting and advancing democracy in Nigeria and around the world. Today, I am announcing that we have taken steps to impose visa restrictions on specific individuals in Nigeria for undermining the democratic process during Nigeria’s 2023 elections cycle. These actions are specific to certain individuals and are not directed at the Nigerian people or the Government of Nigeria as a whole.
Under Section 212(a)(3)C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, these individuals will be subject to restrictions on visas to the United States under a policy covering those believed to be responsible for, or complicit in, undermining democracy. These individuals have been involved in intimidation of voters through threats and physical violence, the manipulation of vote results, and other activity that undermines Nigeria’s democratic process.
The decision to take steps to impose visa restrictions reflects the continued commitment of the United States to support Nigerian aspirations to strengthen democracy and the rule of law.

https://ng.usembassy.gov/taking-steps-to-impose-visa-restrictions-on-individuals-involved-in-undermining-the-democratic-process-during-nigerias-2023-elections-cycle/

Hmmm...wonder if those embassy staffers were actually the one's doing the undermining.
It seems to me that Blinken is pissed off that perhaps the democratic process is not going the way that he and Biden want.

Elon Musk Schools CNBC, Gives Lesson on Media Psyops in a Remarkable Exchange

It [Allen, Texas mall shooting] was, I think, incorrectly ascribed to be a white supremacist action,” expressed Elon Musk.

“And the evidence for that [white supremacy] was some obscure Russian website that no one’s ever heard of that had no followers. And the company that found this is Bellingcat. And you know what Bellingcat does?” Elon asked. “Psyops,” he answered.

“And there’s no proof, by the way, that he was not [a white supremacist,” retorted CNBC.

“I would say that there’s no proof that he is,” replied Musk.

“And that’s a debate you want to get into on Twitter,” asked CNBC.

“Yes,” responded Elon, “because we should not be ascribing things to white supremacy if it’s false.”

China Launches Nationwide Program To Encourage People To Marry And Have More Children As Americans Die From Clot Shots

Fearing demographic collapse, China is launching a new nationwide program to “build a new-era marriage and childbearing culture” within its population.

The pro-natalist scheme was announced by way of state media outlet the Global Times, which said it was intended to coincide with the United Nations’ International Day of Families after the UN expressed concern about fertility decline and “demographic change”.

Officials said the venture will “focus on tasks including promoting marriage and having children at appropriate ages, encouraging parents to share child-rearing responsibilities, and curbing high ‘bride prices’ and other outdated customs.”

The reference to ‘high bride prices’ is a Chinese custom whereby the family of the groom gift the bride’s family a large financial contribution known as a caili.

Young women in China are now being urged to sign pledges where they promise not to demand a caili from the groom.

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/china-launches-nationwide-program-encourage-people-marry-and-have-more-children

Meanwhile in modern America, anyone who got “vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus and now suffers from neurological or other serious health problems is just dealing with “anxiety due to the COVID vaccine.” This is the position of government health authorities who refuse to admit that these experimental toxins could ever cause anyone serious harm – and Big Tech is in on the coverup as well.

A Facebook support group for individuals who took the needle(s) and are now debilitated was shut down recently for violating the social media platform’s “misinformation” policy, which prohibits any information that is “likely to directly contribute to the risk of imminent physical harm, including by contributing to the risk of individuals getting or spreading a harmful disease or refusing an associated vaccine.”

In the eyes of Facebook and the rest of Silicon Valley, not to mention the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other corrupt treasonous government agencies, there is no such thing as health damage caused by COVID jabs. Those who suffered such a thing are just making it up in their head, or simply have the post-injection jitters.

Americans should be saving news and videos from the internet, this is exactly what they do before destroying a nation, they erase the history of the nation before doing so. That's because they do not want our history or culture to be repeated or restored. Backup up everything and have multiple offline copies. I have shit dating back to 2008 that is in offline faraday cages just waiting to be recovered in the future for historians to see.

GOOD! GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS BANS CBDCS IN FLORIDA

Say what you want about DeSantis, like him or hate him, Zionist or not, this is Good! news folks, just put aside the politics here for now.

I'm hoping my State does the same, a Central Bank Digital Currency would be the END of freedom as we know it, as the Davos/WEF/Govt crowd desire to use CBDCs to enforce a social credit score system, implementing it with carbon taxation and vaccine passports! Pure tyranny is being resisted in Florida and it is refreshing! We need to encourage other real conservatives and real liberals (like Robert Kennedy Jr.) to do the same!

Anyone who supports the way CBDC is being planned is anti-Constitution and thus anti-American.

FDA Approves Lab-created Chicken With Ties To Chinese Biowarfare Program

GOOD Meat’s filing reveals the China-linked firm JOINN is integral to the production and quality control of the newly-licensed cultivated chicken. The company, founded in 2018 as an offshoot of its parent JOINN Laboratories, has a facility not far from Eat Just’s headquarters in San Francisco.

Lab-created Chicken Gown From CANCER CELLS!
$$$Big Pharma$$$

The corrupt federal regulatory agency has green-lighted not just one but two different lab-grown "chicken meat" products for human consumption: one produced by Upside Foods and the other by GOOD Meat, both based out of California (GOOD Meat also has an office in Singapore).

https://newstarget.com/2023-04-11-lab-chicken-cancer-cells-fda-approval-tumor.html

MY COMMENT: Avoid all toxic depop fake meat and lab-created fake foods, support local farmer markets and only buy organic NON-GMO foods at the stores! If you have the land and resources to do so, raising chickens is well worth it, they will provide you lots of protein with eggs every day which are in fact healthy despite all the CORPORATE-GOVT LIES against real food. Meat rabbits are another idea, you can have real fresh meat all the time as they are always breeding. I'm getting another half cow this year, found another contact who says he will never use mRNA jabs on his cattle. All you got to do is talk to local farmers and inform them of what's going on, trade contact info and make deals!

African Leaders Initiate Peace Mission With Putin & Zelensky

A group of African leaders are pushing a peace plan in an attempt to get Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table.  South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who has of late been accused of having 'friendly' relations with Moscow, said Tuesday that both Russia's President Putin and Ukraine's President Zelensky have agreed to host a delegation of African leaders.

"My discussions with the two leaders demonstrated that they are both ready to receive the African leaders and to have discussion on how this conflict can be brought to an end," Ramaphosa said, as quoted in Deutsche Welle. "Whether that will succeed or not is going to depend on the discussions that will be held."

The South African leader listed other countries backing the peace initiative as follows: Senegal, Uganda, Egypt, the Republic of the Congo, and Zambia. Their leaders will reportedly send representatives for meetings in both Moscow and Kiev at an undisclosed date.

The Associated Press has noted that "Four of those six African countries — South Africa, Republic of Congo, Senegal and Uganda — abstained from a U.N. vote last year on condemning Russia’s invasion. Zambia and Egypt voted in favor of the motion."

However, on Wednesday Russia's foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said his government had yet to receive anything official regarding a meeting with African leaders or a firm date, but he welcomed the move: 

"We responded to an appeal to us from Latin American and African friends that we are ready to consider any of their proposals [on the crisis in Ukraine], which are dictated by a sincere desire to help stabilize the world order, but so far, we have not seen anything on paper either from the Brazilians or from the Africans, unlike from our Chinese neighbors," Russian top diplomat stated.

South Africa in particular has come under pressure regarding US allegations that it allowed weapons transfers, which sent scandal through the Ramaphosa government, resulting in angry denunciations of the Washington allegations, first conveyed through the US ambassador. Ramaphosa held a phone call with Putin days ago, amid Western condemnations of South African neutrality.

China has also this week dispatched a senior envoy to visit both countries, with China’s special representative for Eurasian affairs, Li Hui, having arrived in Ukraine on Tuesday. US officials have meanwhile said they remain "wary of any calls for an immediate ceasefire or peace talks."

Everyone needs to start growing their own food these days, even if it's just a small garden. If we have to rely 100% on corporations for food then we will no longer have a say what we eat. Networking with local farmers is also important, get to know your local food producers and make contacts for business deals or even bartering when times get tougher (believe me they will get worse).
Sometimes you can't TELL the public the truth.
YOU MUST SHOW THEM.
Only then, at the precipice, will people find the will to change [to participate]. 
We, the People, have been betrayed for a very long time.

Senate is about to pass the 3rd reading of this bill which will ban

course, but we need to figure out other things to do to stop this.

Bill S-233 is currently waiting for third reading in the SENATE, if
passed it will be made law which means if you are not vaccinated you
will not receive EI, CPP, OHS,  Social Services or Pension that YOU PAID

Communist-den New York City To Impose And Enforce MEAT RATIONS... Yes Really!

New York City will begin tracking the carbon footprint of household food consumption and putting caps on how much red meat can be served in public institutions as part of a sweeping initiative to achieve a 33% reduction in 'carbon emissions' from food by 2030.

Mayor Eric Adams and representatives from the Mayor’s Office of Food Policy and Mayor’s Office of Climate & Environmental Justice announced the new programs last month at a Brooklyn culinary center run by NYC Health + Hospitals, the city’s public 'healthcare' system.

At the event, the Mayor’s Office of Climate & Environmental Justice shared a new chart to be included in the city’s annual greenhouse gas inventory that publicly tracks the carbon footprint created by household food consumption, the Gothamist reported.

The city already produced emissions data from energy use, transportation and waste as part of the annual inventory. But the addition of household food consumption data is part of a partnership that London and New York launched with American Express, C40 Cities and EcoData lab, Commissioner Rohit Aggarwala from the NYC Department of Environmental Protection announced at the event.

C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group is also one of the forces driving the implementation of draconian "15-minute city" projects across the world, for total population control agendas.

Aggarwala — who founded Google smart city subsidiary Sidewalk Labs — celebrated the expanded police state data collection as forging “a new standard for what cities have to do” and a new way to shape policy.

But Adams’ presentation at the event focused on food consumption, particularly meat and dairy.

“Food is the third-biggest source of cities’ emissions right after buildings and transportation,” Adams said. “But all food is not created equal. The vast majority of food that is contributing to our emission crises lies in meat and dairy products.”

But agricultural economists and regenerative farmers say that calculation isn’t actually that simple.

“Different meats have different kinds of greenhouse gas footprints” because of differences in the production systems and “all land is not created equal” Melissa McKendree, Ph.D., an agricultural economist at Michigan State University, told The Defender.

Land that is suitable for cattle production, such as rangeland and pasture, often isn’t suitable for other types of agriculture, and vice versa. And all of those different ecosystems for different plants and animals, when working well, work together to create a healthy ecosystem.

Alternative grazing systems, like the regenerative agricultural systems that McKendree researches, make it possible for pasture-raised beef “to sequester carbon, and to become a carbon sink” — actually reducing the greenhouse gas footprint of food production rather than adding to it.

The press release does not make the purpose of emissions mapping inventories explicit. It simply states the inventories “will enable London and New York City to develop a suite of actions to incentivise more sustainable consumption in collaboration with people and businesses.”

Mayor Adams’ announcement about the C40 Good Food Cities declaration suggests the city will be serving less meat in the future to meet its 2030 goals. I guess all the more reasons to avoid that shithole city.

At least you still have the option to stock up some canned foods, and I'd highly recommend you at least consider doing that to rough out harder times because like it or not this crisis today is just the tip of an ugly iceberg ahead. There will be no recovery of America without severe pain and suffering ahead sadly. There is a covert agenda to take down America and it's from within, with some foreign help.
 >>/128436/
I think the biggest problem is most people were being warned to prepare well over a decade ago, even years before Obama was in office, but for whatever reason many people simply ignored the warning signs and recommendations from other preppers. Now that things have gotten so bad in this country it's almost too late for most people to prepare because prepping costs too much money. You have to at least have standard middle class income to prepare these days, if not upper middle class by now. The truth is it was not like this two decades ago when almost anyone could have afforded to stock up on extra food and goods, or afforded a mortgage for a basic house, plus the price of ammo was dirt cheap too. Not anymore! I remember when I first started prepping almost two decades ago a one year supply of food would cost around $800. Know how much those one year supplies sell for today? Well over $4000 now days! Shit, I'm middle class and I can't afford that either. Next two years those will cost a whole lot more. They are pricing people out of the market so prepping is a missed opportunity for many people today.
 >>/128445/
I didn't say I wasn't prepping. My comment was strictly limited to you solution of everyone growing their own food. I just took a break from working on my emergency power system to reply to you.

FBI Whistleblowers Expose Horrific Grievous Governmental Misconduct And Abuse Of Authority

Three brave FBI whistleblowers, former Special Agents Garret O’Boyle and Steve Friend and Staff Operations Specialist Marcus Allen, all chose to speak in Thursday’s hearing led by the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, knowing they might suffer additional retaliatory action from the government. The three courageous men were suspended from the FBI and have been subjected to grievous retaliatory measures because they dared to tell the truth. According to the Committee’s Executive Summary, one other whistleblower, Supervisory Intelligence Analyst George Hill, has testified behind closed doors. Attorney Tristan Leavitt, President of Empower Oversight, also testified in the hearing. The entire hearing can be viewed here.

The whistleblower testimony comes on the heels of the Durham report, which shows egregious criminal politicalized misconduct in our federal agencies, including the FBI and the DOJ. Ironically, our justice system seems to have flipped on its head, with the good guys paying the price for their conscientious service while, at the same time, powerful individuals like FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland condone corrupt investigations and fail the American people.

Rep. Harriet Hageman’s (R, WY) hard-hitting statement captured the nature of the misconduct and the timeline that “fundamentally change[d] the FBI from a law enforcement body to an intelligence-driven one.” Hageman commented on testimony from retired FBI Special Agent Thomas Baker, who testified before the committee earlier in the year. Baker told committee members the FBI changed significantly after 9/11.

9/11, said Hageman was a “watershed moment,” which former FBI Director Robert Mueller exploited to significantly alter how the FBI and the DOJ would conduct their business. It was Mueller who decided to “fundamentally change the FBI from a law enforcement body to an intelligence-driven one.” Mueller’s decision, said Hageman, resulted in the “centralization of power in D.C and away from the country it serves.”

The government’s response to 9/11 was “tragic,” continued Hageman. From that point forward, the government became a weaponized machine that would “target not the terrorists but American citizens, which is where the FBI and the DOJ are at this point in time.” Hageman continued.

“The FBI and the DOJ used the FISA court to obtain illegitimate surveillance authority. They’ve targeted political campaigns with which they disagree. They have created a Russia, Russia, Russia hoax to cripple a duly elected president. They have targeted Catholics for exercising their faith. They’ve targeted parents for wanting to protect their children.”

“And then what? We can say, in short, is that the Eye of Sauron has turned inward, and it is burning with a white, hot intensity, an intensity that seeks to destroy everything in its path.”

“What I think we can say is that as the DOJ and FBI have become more political, they have amassed more power. And as they have amassed more power, they have become more political. This is a vicious cycle that must be stopped. To be blunt, the leadership of the FBI and the DOJ are corrupt. I will name names. Christopher Ray and Mary Garland are corrupt. They know it, we know it, and the American people know it.”

Hageman’s statement before the hearing, seen in the video below, reflects her sentiments on how the FBI and the DOJ are weaponizing the government against the FBI whistleblowers and the American people.

Steve Friend was a Special Agent for the FBI for 8 1/2 years. He told the Committee he once thought of a job at the FBI as his “dream job.” As a Special Agent, he investigated “approximately 200 violent crimes such as aggravated assaults, murder, child abuse, rape, robbery, child molestation, child pornography, and human trafficking.”

Friend also served on the FBI SWAT team and was a law enforcement officer in Georgia. In August 2022, he shared what he thought would be protected whistleblower disclosures with his supervisors about the Jan. 6 investigations. Friend disclosed “departures from case management rules established in the FBI’s Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide.” He worried that the FBI was unjustly bringing J6 prosecutions to “inflate the FBI statistics on domestic extremism.” Friend also shared concerns that the FBI abused the “use of SWAT and large-scale arrest operations to apprehend suspects who were accused of nonviolent crimes and misdemeanors.”

“FBI weaponized the security clearance processes to facilitate my removal from active duty within one month of my disclosures. In addition to an indefinite, unpaid suspension, the FBI initiated a campaign of humiliation and intimidation to punish and pressure me to resign. In violation of HIPAA individuals that the FBI leaked my private medical information to a reporter at the New York Times. In violation of the Privacy Act, the FBI refused to furnish my training records for several months.”

The FBI Inspection Division also “an illegal gag order in an attempt to prevent me from communicating with my family and attorneys,” Friend added.

“FBI collusion with Big Tech to gather intelligence on Americans, censor political speech, and target citizens for malicious prosecution. A dysfunctional promotion process fosters a revolving door of inexperienced, ambitious FBI supervisors ascending the management ladder within the agency. FBI informant protocols that are broken and abusive. The FBI skirts the Whistleblower Protection Act and exploits the security clearance revocation process to expel employees who make legally protected disclosures.”

Marcus Allen is a highly decorated Marine, and after joining the FBI, he was named Employee of the Year in 2019 in the Charlotte office. Allen served honorably in the Marine Corps from 2000 to 2005. He was deployed to Kuwait, served two tours in Iraq, and “contributed to Operation Iraqi Freedom.” He was “exposed to live enemy fire on numerous occasions” and served “primarily in analytical and intelligence roles, was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal and the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal.”

It seems Allen’s greatest offense was telling the truth about the events on Jan. 6. As a result, he has been labeled a traitor by the FBI. The FBI suspended him without pay for “questioning the narrative of J6” because Allen believed that not all who were present that day exhibited “criminal conduct.” An excerpt of his statement follows:

“The FBI suspended my security clearance, accusing me of actually being disloyal to my country. This outrageous and insulting accusation is based on unsubstantiated accusations that I hold conspiratorial views regarding the events of Jan. 6, 2020. That I allegedly sympathized with criminal conduct. I do not.”

“I condemn all criminal activity that occurred,” continued Allen, “Instead, it appears that I was retaliated against because I forwarded information to my superiors and others that questioned the official narrative of the events of Jan. 6. As a result, I was accused of promoting conspiratorial views and unreliable information. Because I did this, the FBI questioned my allegiance to the United States.”

Allen said this had been a devastating experience for him and his family. He is being “financially crushed” and is relying upon “withdrawals from [their] retirement accounts” to support his family with “no end in sight.”

Allen said he testified because he hopes to save others from the “FBI from abusing the security clearance process to retaliate against others the way it’s retaliated against me.”

O’Boyle expressed visible and deep sadness in having to testify against the FBI and DOJ, organizations he says “are supposed to protect the American people.” He feels angry that he has been “smeared by the FBI,” a smear that “stands in stark contrast to his life in public service.”

O’Boyle has served his “community and the nation his entire adult life,” joining the Army at a young age and serving in the infantry. He was “quickly promoted through the ranks” and was “deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.” O’Boyle served in the 101st Airborne Division and received the Combat Infantryman’s Badge, an honor reserved for foot soldiers in ground combat. O’Boyle was also a police officer before he joined the FBI.

O’Boyle believes too many in the FBI and the DOJ do not uphold the Constitution, including those who are bystanders, not willing to stand up or make sacrifices when they see something wrong. He blames in part the FBI’s efforts to smear and denigrate whistleblowers, destroying careers, “suspending them under false pretenses, taking security clearances, with no true options for real recourse or remedy.” O’Boyle believes it is “by design.” He thinks it is one reason so few are willing to step forward.

“This is by design,” O’Boyle continued, “It creates an Orwellian atmosphere that silences opposition and discussion. We know what is right to do. There were many who too often refused to do what is right because of the difficulty and suffering it incurs. I couldn’t knowingly continue on this path silently without speaking out against the weaponization I witnessed, even if it meant losing my job, my career, my livelihood, my family’s home, and now my anonymity.”

O’Boyle said, “all he wanted to do was serve his country by stopping bad guys and protecting the innocent.”

The FBI whistleblowers have come forward at great personal risk. They and their families have suffered mightily, in some cases leaving them without their belongings. All have honorably served this country, yet they are suspended without pay and have been barred from pursuing outside employment. They call themselves “The Suspendables,” a term coined by Seraphin. Seraphin, Friend, and others continue to receive information detailing corruption and misconduct from FBI agents who are still on the inside.

Whistleblowers are supposed to be protected by laws that allow them to report government corruption and abuse without fear of reprisal. According to the Executive Summary, “The FBI has violated whistleblower protection laws and abused its security clearance review process to hamstring the brave agents who exercise their right to make protected disclosures to Congress or who dared to question agency leadership.”

The men who testified Thursday are some of the best our country has to offer. They appeared in public and before the Committee not only to correct the record but to alert and activate the American people. Each one hopes his testimony will help correct the egregious wrongs taking place in the highest positions of power.
