Banks are getting bailed out.
And who's going to pay for it?
You are.
They say taxpayers won't pay.
They say other banks won't pay.
But how do those banks get the money?
They'll probably raise your bank fees like they always do.
And if the feds step in, you'll likely also be paying an inflation tax.
In times like this, storing all your money in a bank may be very risky, as we have seen.

Welcome back to Shots Fired.
Well, a lot of you don't know this, but happening right now is a hearing and the discussion is the allegations of whether the United States is the middleman of a multi-billion dollar child sex trafficking ring or human trafficking network.
Tara Lee Rodas is a whistleblower from the Health and Human Services Department who's saying that she has witnessed this firsthand.
Immigrant children being used as trafficking to traffic them into workforce situations and sex trafficking rings.
And she said that the United States is completely complicit in it.
And I 100% agree with this.
How deep does the rabbit hole go?
Obviously, immigration, illegal immigration, has been used to fuel sex trafficking and human trafficking and forced labor rings.
We all know that.
And it's a multi-billion dollar business.
These allegations are finally coming to light now in a Senate Judiciary hearing.
But the deeper you look, the deeper the rabbit hole goes.
I've been covering for months now the fact that the CPS and foster care system have been in on it too.
They are basically fronts for child trafficking.
We have heard so many parents come on my show to share their heart-wrenching stories of their children being ripped from their loving parents and loving homes.
And sent into the foster care system into abusive, brutal, hostile homes, never to be returned again.
So here to delve deeper into this is a friend of mine, Sylvia Beachy, who, she runs the organization RescueTheFosters.org.
It's an incredible organization.
That supports foster children and rescues them from abusive homes.
And she's going to talk more about that and how this all ties into what's being uncovered right now, that United States is the middleman for child trafficking rings.
So Sylvia, thank you so much for joining Shots Fired.
How are you?
I'm good.
Thank you.
Thank you for having me on.
I'm happy to have you on.
I've been talking about this and highlighting stories for months now of parents who've had their children taken away from their loving and stable arms and sent into the foster care system and never to be recovered and reunited again.
So tell me a little bit more about what your organization does and how you started it.
Okay, so we basically, we advocate for foster youth.
So we don't actually rescue them from the abuse of homes.
We advocate for them in the foster system.
Okay.
And then when they're also out of the foster system, because what I realized, I had many positions in the foster system, which included staff member, case manager, transporter, parent aid, behavior aid.
And what I realized in all of these positions is that the child does not have a voice.
And it was the children that actually got my heart because people think that we're taking kids from an abusive home and we're putting them into a non-abusive home.
And what I discovered was that we were actually taking kids, even if they were in an abusive home, we were taking them from an abusive home and we were placing them in another abusive environment.
And that environment, I came from a stable family where I knew nothing about gang affiliation or drugs or anything like that.
And these kids happened to literally fight for their survival every single day.
And the other thing that I realized was that when I listened to the child, They would tell me what was going on and I would research it.
I was blamed for, I was called green, and I was told them that I shouldn't believe them, that they were liars, that this did not happen.
But if you actually listen to the kids and you hear them, this is happening.
So what we do is we give them a voice.
And then the other thing people don't realize is that when kids age out of the foster system, they're literally, where do we drop you?
And they literally drop them on the streets.
So when they age out, yep.
So then that's because of the money.
There's no more money in it.
So our foster youth are put on the streets to survive again.
And within two years, they are in prison, in jail or in prison, because that is their normal.
So we try to keep them off the streets, try to help them give resources for jobs, interview skills, Job applications, you know, applying for housing, things like that.
The other thing that we do is we help families navigating the foster system.
That's where the majority of my calls have been coming in, is that parents are calling me because their kids were put into foster care and they're fighting for that.
So that's the other thing that we do.
Amazing.
So tell us your experience as a foster care worker.
You were actually working in this system on the other side, right?
Right.
Right.
Yeah, it's an environment that I wish I could make everyone understand.
I worked in the group home for two years, and I thought that I was prepared for case managing, and that did not even prepare me for case managing.
And the reason that I left the group home park, because I really enjoyed working with the girls, you know, that was my passion.
But I was afraid something was going to happen to one of these children, and they were going to blame me, because that's how the system works.
So, like, your workers, the ones that are speaking out, the ones that are saying, hey, you know, I don't agree with this, or this shouldn't have happened, those are the ones that they are...
I had like four write-ups and I was put only twice.
One time they told me, it was for three days, they told me that I was delusional, that I was hallucinating and that was because I refused to falsify documentation.
So, and then the other time was for 30 days and that was to make a point.
So the workers that speak up, they retaliate against.
So they, the foster care system, encourages falsification of documents and records because, well, this confirms being on the other side as somebody who works in this.
So many parents that I've talked to said, I don't understand it.
It seems like they're all against me.
The whole goal, I thought, was to reunite me with my children.
But to me, it seems like the agenda is the attorneys, the judges, and the foster care workers are all lying about, like, just bold-faced lying about things that the parents are doing or not doing to keep them separated.
And the foster care workers just carry these lies.
They sign off on them.
So it is true that they do that.
And it's true.
And then why?
Is the goal on the other side to not reunify the children with the parents?
Well, it's money.
So I don't think people realize the money that's involved.
And this was the part where during case managing, I didn't see the money portion and the group home.
But when I went over to case managing, so when a child comes into care, Every case manager has to apply for what's called a waiver.
And the waiver is based on the behaviors of the child.
So if you have a base child that's going to be compliant, that's not going to be defiant or cause problems, you're going to get less money for them, right?
So you're going to get...
I'm in Georgia.
I'm not sure.
And every state is different.
So in Georgia...
The rate was like $135 per child for base, and that was per day.
So then if you have someone...
So the foster care worker gets paid this amount per child that they bring in?
No, it's actually the placement agencies.
Okay.
So this is another thing that people don't understand how our system is set up.
These are not government agencies that are running these organizations.
These are nonprofits.
So even in the state of Florida, they don't even have a government agency Overseeing these.
Once they do the investigation, it goes to a non-profit.
And that's how they get the funding.
So that is the Title IV-E funding.
And I know I'm moving really fast, but there's so much information.
So that's how they receive the funding.
So each state.
So the placement agency puts in the waiver.
They receive 135 per day for a base child.
For a defiant child, which is your runners, your cutters, your self-harmers, defiance, they're going to get like 200 a day.
And then if they're sexually abused, if they're pregnant, anything like sex traffics, they're going to get more money.
What?!
So, and of course, if a child is away from their biological parents long enough, they probably are going to get defiant, they are going to lash out, they're going to be abusive to themselves or others, and they may try to run away.
So you're saying those children are going to be paying the organization even more?
Yeah, exactly.
So you might have a base child that becomes defiant and is a runner, then their rate goes up because it's supposed to be money that's like they need more care.
But the money does not go to the child.
There's actually like three different funds that they pull from with one child.
So you have your Medicaid because as soon as they go in, they start doing the The dental and hospital and healthcare and all of that.
So you have Medicaid, then you have Title IV-E funding, and then you have CAPS. So that's for their daycare and activities.
There's lots of funds they're pulling from.
And then the other big thing was that we had quotas.
What kind of quotas?
And I just want to reiterate again before you get to the quotas, because this is so...
Sinister, but it would behoove the organization then to not reunite the children with their parents, but to keep them in a situation, even when they know they're being abused in a home, in a foster home, even when they know they're acting out, they're starting to have problems.
It would behoove them to keep them there instead of reuniting with their parents, because if they reunite, then they lose money.
Exactly, yeah.
And this was a huge pressure put on the caseworkers.
I think I sent you the quotas, you know, when you get a chance, if you want to post it, you can.
It was basically every meeting, every day, you had to maintain your kids in the foster home on whatever they needed, if they needed a behavior aid, if they needed a Um, you, you get them what they need in order to stay in that home and maintain that money.
And, um, yeah.
And it was, it was basically, if you do not, if you have a child that reunites or is adopted, you have to bring kids in.
And we were told that we had to bring new kids in.
So if you lost a kid to their parents or to a healthy adoption, then you would have to replace that with another child?
Yeah, and this really blew my mind because I would say if I see a kid on the street and I go grab that kid, that kid doesn't go on my caseload, so how do I bring this kid in?
You know, I was like, this doesn't even make sense to me.
And I was very vocal about it, and I would be brought into the office and stated, you need to stop talking about the quotas.
And it was, if you don't bring them in, you're fired.
And you can even look at that where it says we're going to eliminate or celebrate, you know.
So it was a huge pressure.
What does eliminate or celebrate mean?
It means we were out if we didn't bring more kids.
Wow, wow.
So you are out as a worker or you celebrate a new kid being brought in.
Yeah.
So, God, this is just so disgusting.
I mean, are the most of the caseworkers then that work for the foster care system, are they just heartless?
Are they sociopathic?
Do they have no soul?
I mean, how can someone work and see loving parents fighting, fighting to get their children back?
And what?
Just instead placing them or lying to continue to get them placed in an abusive foster home.
I can't imagine anyone except for a sociopath that would encourage that.
Well, all the case, all the workers that I worked with did not agree with this.
But the thing is, is the way that it's done, you have an investigator that goes out and investigates, right?
And they write up the paperwork.
And all of the paperwork that we received was these horrible things about these parents that had done these horrible things to this child, right?
So what we saw looked like the parent was this horrible person.
So it really took me like four years to even realize what was going on because we would look at this and we would be like, oh, this is awful.
You know, this child needs to be removed from that home.
Like, I never saw a report, not once, that even said, you know, this is a good family.
They always said it should be reunification.
But you looked at the paperwork and you saw all these horrible, horrible things said about them.
So that's how they kind of gaslight the workers.
Mm-hmm.
And the investigators, you found out later, are trained to lie as well about the parents?
Well, I've been finding that out as I'm working the cases, too, because I... I thought I was, you know, like, because the gaslighting is so strong that I literally had to go and start researching myself because I was like, no, like, there's something wrong here.
And they would lie to you.
And the way that they do it is they lie to you.
To your face, the workers.
So I literally got at the end of when I was like cutting up, I had started recording our meetings because I was afraid something was going to happen to one of those children and they were going to blame me.
It was basically I was doing it to cover my back.
And that's the way the gaslighting is.
So they make you feel crazy for questioning them.
Wow.
And what kind of, did you see, witness, or hear about abuse of children that have been put in foster homes?
I mean, did you experience this yourself, witness it yourself?
Well, the abuse that I mostly, and this was a really hard part to my job, was it's more like mental.
It's more mental abuse.
And the kids would tell me, you know, they'd be like, and I had little kids on my case, like four and five.
And they would say, please, Ms.
Sylvia, don't leave me here.
Please don't leave me here.
And I would call my director and say, I want to move these kids.
And she would say, well, do you see any marks or bruises on them?
Marks or bruises?
Mm-hmm.
And you can't see that with mental abuse.
So I would be like, no, I don't see any.
So they wouldn't let me move them.
So a lot of times I couldn't move the kids when they would ask me to move them.
And that was a really hard day for me, you know, to go see this kid.
And then they're not wanting to go back into the home.
And then you have to make them go into the home and then you go home.
And you can tell that these children are in distress.
They say, I don't want to be in this family anymore or this home anymore.
And they would beg you to leave and you just couldn't take them.
No, and then I would get made fun of for listening to the kid, for being green, that I needed to toughen up my skin.
You know, it was a constant, and I have stories for days, but I know we don't have time to go into stories.
You can tell a story.
I'm like, there's so many stories, I don't even know which ones to tell you.
But it was the kids that really got to me, and it was because they wanted to be with their family, and they would run away to be with their family.
Wow.
They would run away or try to?
Oh, yeah.
That's the other thing that people don't realize.
Every single day, kids run away.
And then the way that there's no 911 call, you call the local police department, so there's not a 911 call.
There's no search party.
There's no missing reports.
And a lot of these times, especially in the group home, we never saw these kids again.
And we would just look for them for the first two miles.
I know if I caught them in the first two miles, then I could talk them into coming back.
But you can't put your hands on them.
But I feel like the system is set this way for a reason.
Because there's no accountability.
Wow.
That's so tragic.
I mean, I can't imagine a five-year-old trying to run away to find their parents and there's nothing you could do to help them.
And the parents are just told they can't do anything.
They can't fight for their children.
And the process is just stalling and stalling to get the parents to give up eventually, it sounds like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Were you aware also of children either being trafficked or sexually abused, raped, or actually having bruises or things like that in these homes?
So in the group home is where I realized that the US had a sex trafficking issue.
Uh, because before I worked in the foster system, I knew nothing about sex trafficking.
I knew nothing about it at all.
And then all of a sudden, all the kids that were coming in were either sexually abused or sex trafficked.
That was a common thing.
It wasn't like, okay, one or two is the majority.
Wow.
And then the one thing that did happen while I was in the group home is that some of these girls that are trafficked, they have pimps, right?
Gang affiliations, that's where I learned about gangs.
They got the Bloods, the Crips, those are the most prominent.
but these pimps will have them addicted to heroin or you know meth and so they need that drug so they would run away and go back to the pimp so what they would do is they would recruit another girl in the group home and then they would take that girl with them and they would pimp that girl out and this happened To one
of my girls, because I told her, please don't go with this other girl.
You know, I know she has a pimp.
Don't go with her.
Well, she did.
And that happened to her when she came back.
She told me she had been raped.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
So you see this happening.
It is, they are sex trafficking.
And of course, the foster care workers don't really care because they're making money or the higher ups rather.
Yeah, it's mostly the higher-ups and then the workers do report it, but the report isn't written that way.
The report is written so that there is no investigation.
And there's no 911 calls, so that's not on record.
However, the policy and procedure is how the incident report is written so that there is no investigation into the incident.
Wow.
That's so disgusting and sick.
It's just so sick.
I know KK, you were mentioning, she's somebody that was going to be potentially on this interview, and she was one of the founders of this organization, too.
Are you able to tell a little bit about her story, just briefly, what happened with her, how long she was in the system for?
Yeah, so I'm at KK at the Else Amor group home.
I was a staff member when she came in.
She was 15 years old, and we were actually briefed about her because she was a runner.
So we were told that we really needed to watch out for her, that she was a runner.
And, you know, you're expecting...
It's even the same with the kids.
You're told these stories so that when they come in, you're expecting this defiant, rude child.
Right.
She came in, she was smiling and like, what's up?
I mean, she was compliant.
She didn't fight us or anything.
I mean, she was one of the best ones there, to be honest with you, with following the rules and Doing what she was supposed to.
She did run away one time.
Well, who wouldn't?
You're trying to find your parents.
Who wouldn't run away?
I mean, it doesn't make you defiant.
It makes you smart.
It makes you caring.
Yes.
Yeah.
And KK is actually adopted.
And that's the other thing that people don't realize is that the majority of kids in care are adopted kids.
And that's either usually because they're adopted, they don't adjust to the family, there's abuse.
She did have abuse going on.
So that's how she ended up in the foster system at that group home.
Um, and she, um, she aged out last year.
And this is what brought on the organization was that when she aged out, they did the same thing.
They dropped her, you know, like, where are we, you know, where do you want to be dropped?
And she called me and was like, no, like, I'm not sure what to do.
And I said, okay, well, why don't you just come stay with me until we figure it out?
So she came and stayed with me and some of my family members.
Um, And that's when we were like, alright.
And she came up with the name.
So that was her doings, Rescue the Fosters.
So that's how we came up with the whole organization was we need to give resources.
We need to keep kids off the street.
That and they're in survival mode.
So they're constantly, when you're in survival mode, you can't think to like logically think of what do I need in order to stay off the streets?
What's it going to take, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And look, if a home is just so completely abusive and there's no healing therapy, behavior modification, then that would be perhaps a reason to be separated away from that biological family or family and going into a loving, healthy foster care home.
But the fact is the majority of foster care incidents are they're Taking children away from loving homes that have just very small things.
I mean, they're not vaccinated.
They're choosing not to vaccinate their children is a lot of what I'm hearing now.
Or they get a minor injury on their head, like all babies do.
There's something very minor that happens.
Maybe they find marijuana in their house and it was used very mildly.
But there's something minor that happens that They get their children taken away for, and then they never, ever have the ability to get them back.
And that's obviously so corrupt and so sinister.
And the goal should always be reunification.
And sounds like it's not at all what the goal is.
Yeah, it's what they put on the paperwork because with every case, they have to state reunification and then they have to prove that they didn't.
But I will tell you that they have different rules for the foster parents than they do for the biological parents.
Because if a foster child gets a bump on their head or something like that, they're going to say, oh, they were just playing.
That was normal.
That's normal.
But if a biological child that happens, then they're going to say, no, we need to take it.
It's better safe than sorry.
And that's really the thing that I had a problem with, was that I had more concerns with the foster parents than I had with the biological parents.
Right.
And that's an issue.
And that was something else that I noticed.
And the whole reason I quit was because they were covering up for a foster parent drinking and driving.
Right.
With the kids in the car.
And I was like, I can't, you know, I can't do this anymore.
I was like, I morally cannot do this.
But that's something that needs to change.
Absolutely.
And how many, do you see foster families that sometimes have Four, five, six foster kids that they're also making money from having multiple kids and they clearly don't care about the kids, neglect them or abuse them, but they just want more money and more kids.
Well yeah and see I worked for a therapeutic agency so that the foster parent gets paid more money.
So you can only have with therapeutic you could only have three in the home and that was because if they have sexual abuse you can't put a sexually abused kid with another sexually abused or non-sexually abused really because they They'll pray on them.
There's so many things.
You have to watch the group of kids that you put together.
And just to give you an example, three kids in a home was right at $6,000 a month for a foster home.
A lot of money.
A lot more than a lot of people make in this country.
It was more than the caseworkers made.
Yeah, exactly.
And they obviously, you know, the foster care system does not care if these children are properly cared for, neglected, abused.
They'll look the other way or downright lie.
Yep.
And we haven't even gotten into the mental health and the psychotropic medication that they're placed on.
That's probably enough.
Wait a second.
What's this about?
So the foster care system is placing these kids on medication, drugs?
Oh yes.
The majority of kids, so what they do is when the kids come in, they send them to psychiatrists, they get them a diagnosis, and then they put them on psychotropic medications.
So, and this was something I thought was just like one or two.
No, it's if you're not on medicine, then you're doing good.
And the other thing that I noticed was the diagnosis was the same a lot.
And it was ODD, which is oppositional defiant disorder.
Wow.
Wow.
Such a scam.
And are these even like five or six or seven year olds being put into this diagnosis and then drugged up?
Yes.
And it makes them aggressive.
It makes them suicidal.
And you can't just take them off the medicine.
You have to wean them off because it'll cause major effects on them if you do.
So I had a psychiatrist and he would teach me, you know, like, don't mix this drug with this drug or Don't keep them on this too long because they'll have liver damage as an adult.
You know, so there was a lot of things.
The other thing I didn't agree with was they use clonidine for insomnia.
Do you know what that is?
No.
Enlighten me.
It's an adult blood pressure medicine.
And they would give children this drug?
Mm-hmm.
Yep.
And put the children on psychotropic, heavy psychotropic drugs, which would have severe side effects.
Yeah.
A lot of them are for psychosis.
It causes hallucination.
It makes them have these side effects that does appear to be psychotic because they can hear things.
They hallucinate.
And then the clonidine just knocks them out.
So you pump them up in the day and knock them out at night.
Wow, God, that's so frightening.
And if I was a parent and my child was taken away from me, let's say because I chose not to vaccinate them or something, and I found out that they were on this psychotropic drugs, there's nothing I could do about them.
There's nothing I could do to get them back or get them back under my care, right?
Well, a lot of times I don't even think they tell the parents.
I mean, it's just like with the vaccinations, you know, they take them in and they vaccinate them as soon as they're in.
If they're taken from a home that doesn't vaccinate them?
Well, they automatically do it.
It's part of the procedure.
Wow.
So you have a procedure that is basically, all right, you take them in.
Let's see if they're vaccinated.
They're not.
All right, let's vaccinate them.
All right, let's get them a diagnosis.
All right, let's get them psychotropic medication.
Let's get them a therapist.
Let's get them a behavior aid.
I mean, how many jobs is that right there?
It was just all part of just the welcome process, basically.
Vaccinate them, get them a therapist, get them on drugs.
Yeah.
Wow.
Man, this is so disgusting and tragic and heartbreaking.
It makes my blood boil and it hurts my heart.
I mean, honestly, think of a five-year-old being forced vaccinated, put on heavy psychotropic drugs, ripped from their parents, It's, I can't even, it's going to keep me up at night.
But thank you for your work.
We're going to have to have you on again, as well as the other co-founder of this organization, because I feel like we can talk for hours, and there's clearly a part two and a part three to this conversation.

Welcome back to Shots Fired.
All right, so we obviously have been uncovering those people who have been dying suddenly, dropping suddenly from the vaccine, and those who are still alive but suffering from debilitating side effects that are destroying their life due to this bioweapon.
I've got here joining me Mike O'Meara, who's had some devastating stories himself and experiences since he's taken the jab.
And he's alive, though, to talk about it.
So, Mike, thank you so much for joining Shots Fired and sharing your story.
How are you today considering everything that's happened?
Considering everything that's happened, I say I'm very, very lucky to still be here today.
So, you know, it depends on whether you're an optimist or a pessimist.
Today, I'll say I'm an optimist.
I'm glad I'm here.
I'm glad you're here, too.
And I hope that you stay here.
So tell us kind of what happened.
What vaccine did you take?
And what happened after that?
And when did you take it?
Okay, so I was vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine.
My second shot, so I never got any boosters.
I got the first two loading doses as they were.
And my second shot was mid-May 2021.
Okay.
And then I started having symptoms by June of 21.
But they were brushed aside as me getting older or I tweet something because when the symptoms started, they started as back pain and then some stomach issues and some sleeping issues.
And of course, no one was talking about, you know, the injuries at that point.
So it didn't cross any diagnosis.
At all that it might have had anything to do with that so I was told oh you just tweaked it or you're getting older or you know the older how old are you?
I'm 43 I'm barely so old so old right exactly and plus plus I had been as active as could be up until that point so I was someone who I did like Three to five miles a day of hiking or walking.
I love walks.
I love hikes.
So I was always outside.
I was always, you know, I had a busy teaching schedule.
So I'm an artist and a composer, writer, teacher.
So I was teaching all day and I was hiking all night and I was, you know, I was an active person.
It's not like I was some elite athlete, but I wasn't someone who had health problems at all.
Yeah.
So these symptoms started, like I said, a couple weeks after the second jab, and they never went away.
So they just kept getting worse.
And over the months, you know, I would try everything that I was told to do, you know, change my diet, change my exercise program, make sure I'm stressed.
No one could give me an answer.
And of course all the regular blood tests come back normal.
Yeah, that's why it's so bizarre.
Right.
So anything they have to potentially find it, there's no way to There's no way to find it.
So, you know, the gaslighting went up and up and up as the months went by, you know, because every time I might go to a doctor or, you know, eventually I started going to the hospital because it got so bad.
I was like, there has to be something very, very wrong with me.
And they would say, hey, you're anxious.
Basically, go home and deal with it.
Forget about it.
Which, of course, you can't forget about it as things get worse and worse and worse and worse.
So anyways, to make a very long and terrible story short, the symptoms that had started that June persisted the whole rest of that year.
And then in early March of 22, the only way that I have been able to describe what happened to me My body basically imploded.
Everything went wrong at once.
And so the pain that I had experienced for all those months got worse.
I lost my sense of taste and smell completely for two, three, four months.
My swallowing got really bad out of nowhere, which is horrifying.
It was suddenly hard for me to eat solid food.
And it got so bad that then I was rushing to the ER. I was in the hospital and saying, what is going on?
And one of the zillions of times that I was in the hospital, they did a bunch of scans on me I found organ inflammation, including my appendix.
So I had to get an appendectomy because, you know, of course they couldn't give me a reason like why.
Like, because they were telling me the whole time, you know, this isn't normally the way that appendicitis looks or, you know, there was always this...
You know, you're an abnormal case, you know, and every time I would question, like, why do you think all these weird things are suddenly happening to me when I never had a health problem my entire life up to this point?
I had never been in a hospital my entire life until now.
And they're like, we don't know, you know, like, basically, like, They don't know why.
They don't have any excuse why.
And if you dare to bring up, you know, you dare to say like, well, you know, I did get vaccinated and I have heard a lot, you know, they would shut it down and say like, oh, that's crazy.
That's crazy.
You can't do it.
You can't do that.
So I had the appendectomy done, but nothing got better after that.
And basically since then, since that point, since that March of 22, I've also noticed slowly progressive muscle loss, so muscle wasting.
And that's horrifying too, because that signals a whole bunch of, you know...
Possible really terrible neurological diseases, right?
So it took a few more hospital visits for one doctor to finally have some mercy on me and to finally take a good look at my body because I was like, look, just look at what's going on here.
And one of the docs that happened to be on call one of the times I was in the ER said, you know, how long have your legs and arms and neck looked like this?
And I'm like, months now.
It's been wasting away.
And they got me in with a neurologist finally after that.
Of course, it took another month or so to get to see a neurologist.
I got to see a neurologist.
He took about five minutes with me and wrote me off.
Like, didn't even do the test that he had recommended that he do.
Took about five minutes, said, yeah, you have massive anxiety and didn't want to listen to me anymore.
So I had to beg that neurologist for a referral to another neurologist, and basically it's been ping-pong ever since.
Like trying to get into specialists to rule out things, to rule in things, to figure out what the heck is going on.
And basically at this point, a year after that, I have had six EMGs, six nerve conduction studies, and they've given me about five different answers.
So I've been to Basically, every academic teaching hospital within three states have been top universities, top neuromuscular specialists, and they don't know what the heck is going on.
Like, they can't give me an answer.
And they can't just say, look, the one common denominator is the fact that you took this foreign substance, this mRNA, into your body, and maybe it's causing a reaction.
That's the common denominator.
None of these doctors will say that.
None of them will admit it, right?
Right.
No.
It has taken months and months and months.
And like I said, I've been to seven different neurology teams.
I've been seen by 40, 50 different doctors at this point.
And maybe out of all of those, Maybe two of the seven neurology specialists have said, you know, like privately, they would never put it in the clinical report ever.
They would never, never do it.
But privately, to me, they've said, yeah, you know, like this is a very obscure, weird kind of case.
You're not presenting like normal neurological disease.
It has to be that.
It has to, like, that's the only other thing, you know?
Because, you know, they've asked me every question on the Sun, like, you know, have you taken Hard drugs or whatever.
I was someone that I don't drink, I don't smoke, I never did anything quote unquote bad that anyone would say would ruin your health early.
And I don't have any family history at all.
There's no one in my family history as far back on both sides as you can go that has ever had a neurological disease ever.
So I don't have this in my genes.
I don't have this in my family history.
There's no reason why I should suddenly, you know, at 43, like my body explodes and like everything goes wrong at once and I have a million different things wrong with me now that are seemingly unrelated.
That's the only thing that it could have possibly been.
Wow.
So are you having heart issues, too?
Or is it all muscle-related?
Can you walk properly?
Can you work out still?
Yeah, so my heart stuff...
Well, knock on wood, who knows?
Because different things keep popping up.
But as of now, my heart-related stuff is mostly...
A type of POTS that a lot of people are getting, right?
Yeah, POTS. Yeah, so I'll have really quick palpitations and things like that doing nothing, just trying to stand up and walk around.
But thankfully, that part of it is not as bad in me as it is in a lot of people.
So I can still get up.
I can still walk.
It just hurts all the time.
Everything hurts all the time.
I lack the words to properly express to someone what that does to your life when you go from completely healthy and an active person to where it takes me a good 30 minutes every morning to just force my body to swing my legs over the bed and stand up and make You know,
do the simplest things.
It is ridiculous how much it hurts.
And so for me, it's been mostly musculoskeletal problems.
So along with this muscle loss comes this massive weakness and my pain feels to me like it's It's structural.
Parts of me have literally broken down and I can't rebuild them.
And whatever this did to me, it's like it shut off the processes by which your cells replenish.
I really think that it is damage at the cellular level, at the mitochondrial level.
I really think so.
Of course, who knows?
I'm no research scientist.
I'm an artist.
I was trying to just live my life.
But this has become...
Something where you have to do your own research because none of the doctors are asking questions and none of them are digging.
And there are so many of us who are literally dying.
We're fighting for our lives here.
The government isn't admitting this and not pouring funding where it should be pouring millions and millions of dollars, because we're throwing billions at other issues and not at our own people who are suffering.
You have to become your own doctor, you have to become your own scientist, and I've spent Literally, more than a year now, doing nothing but reading medical journals, trying to figure it out.
And it is maddening.
It is sad.
It is infuriating.
To continuously be brought against this brick wall, the medical profession will not listen.
They will not.
It doesn't matter how many medical journals you throw at that that prove what you're talking about.
They say, well, you're not a doctor, so...
Okay, I know I'm not, but why aren't you doing the job?
Why aren't you doing the research?
Why am I forced to do it?
Trump made a bold statement recently.
He said he can end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours without going after Russia.
In fact, he says that Russia is not the enemy, but this is, and is currently targeting the U.S. as we speak.
This enemy wants to control us, our bank accounts, our assets, and practically enslave every U.S. citizen.
It's part of their sick and twisted plan, which goes way beyond the failing banks and coming recession.
According to experts, this event is the closest thing to a rapture we've ever seen, yet no news station is covering it.
A new video shines the light on a dangerous situation.
It exposes who this enemy is, their diabolical plan, and an effective strategy to hedge against this coming disaster.

Well, it's Thursday, so it's time for the Darwin Awards.
The Darwin Awards.
The dumbest, stupidest, most ridiculous people and events of the week.
Well, without further ado, the very first Darwin Award goes to...
Obviously, Fox News.
Fox News fires Tucker Carlson, the most highly watched, highly rated television news star in history.
I mean, this guy has brought in historic ratings.
He's a truth teller.
He's bold enough to talk about January 6th and the FBI setup and the election fraud and everything else that no other news anchor or talking head will touch.
And yet, they're canning him.
It's like, you just committed suicide with your network.
You just committed suicide.
Bye-bye.
Sayonara, Fox News.
Never watching you again.
Not for one more minute.
And everybody should boycott them, too.
Tucker Carlson did say some parting words yesterday, though, which kind of interesting.
He was silent for a couple of days.
And here's a little bit of what he had to say.
Good evening.
It's Tucker Carlson.
One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country, kind and decent people, people who really care about what's true, and a bunch of hilarious people also, a lot of those.
It's got to be the majority of the population, even now.
So that's heartening.
The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are.
They're completely irrelevant.
He doesn't seem to be too sad about this though.
He's riding along in a golf cart with his wife, laughing, happy, having a good time at his place in Florida.
So I hope this isn't the end of Tucker.
I'm pretty sure it won't be.
I think he can build a media empire or go to a place and network that truly values his ability to tell the truth and be a beacon for the truth, much like Stu Peters and our network here.
So I don't think we're going to see the last of Tucker Carlson, but Fox News will certainly see the last of their dollar bills.
And the next Darwin Award goes to...
The corpse in the White House, Joe Biden, what he just announced his re-election for presidency this week in a very disturbing and depressing video.
Have you seen this yet?
Freedom.
Personal freedom is fundamental to who we are as Americans.
There's nothing more important, nothing more sacred.
That's been the work of my first term, to fight for our democracy.
This shouldn't be a red revolution.
To protect our rights, to make sure that everyone in this country is treated equally and that everyone is given a fair shot at making it.
But you know, around the country, MAGA extremists are lining up to take on those bedrock freedoms.
Cutting Social Security that you paid for your entire life while cutting taxes for the very wealthy.
Dictating what healthcare decisions women can make.
Banning books and telling people who they can love.
All I'm making it more difficult for you to be able to vote.
This is the most cringe, depressing, sad and ominous video, let alone a presidential re-election video that I've ever seen.
Is this supposed to inspire hope?
Is this supposed to inspire motivation to want to come out and support him?
I mean, this is like the creepiest, darkest presidential announcement video I've ever seen.
It's so creepy.
And of course, it's just...
Painting anyone who's a conservative as a domestic terrorist and a zealot and an extremist.
So I don't know, maybe that will win over some hearts and minds of liberals who just hate us so much that they will vote for a literal corpse or CGI. We still don't even know exactly who he is.
We need proof of life.
They will vote for them before they vote for an extremist like a conservative.
But we already know that elections at this point are fake and gay and rigged and stolen.
So what's the point anyways?
And just in case we needed any more proof, what side Biden and the left are on and how our country will be driven into devastation.
If Biden gets re-elected, check out this post.
We have Alex Soros, the son of George Soros.
Alex Soros saying, riding with Biden, endorsing Biden.
That's all you need to know.
And the third Darwin Award goes to...
Nikki Haley.
Nikki Haley for exposing herself as the controlled opposition plant that we always knew that she was.
Here she is saying that she would side with Disney, welcoming, grooming, pedophile Disney into her home state.
As long as they bring in that money, money, money, and they enrich her pocketbook, oh great, we welcome you.
Bring those jobs.
Bring that money, you grooming company.
So she's departing from DeSantis, she's departing from us conservatives who actually care about the fact that Disney is grooming children and they're a real pedophile company in disguise.
You know, as governor, I took a double-digit unemployment state and I turned it into an economic powerhouse.
Businesses were my partners because if you take care of your businesses, you take care of your economy, your economy takes care of the people and everyone wins.
And so that's the way we dealt with it.
South Carolina was a very anti-woke state.
It still is.
And if Disney would like to move their hundreds of thousands of jobs to South Carolina and bring the billions of dollars with them, I'll let them know.
I'll be happy to meet them in South Carolina and introduce them to the governor and the legislature that would welcome it.
Nikki, Nikki, what are you doing?
And lastly, the last Darwin Award goes to...
The Fairfax Bar& Grill in Indiana.
The Fairfax Bar& Grill in Indiana alienated a bunch of its customers by siding with Budweiser and Bud Light and defending it.
Apparently a lot of its customers were enraged and sharing their thoughts and ire on the fact that the bar was still serving Bud Light and Budweiser products.
So the bar put out a statement saying that this bar has no place for hate and exclusivity and bigotry and transphobia.
We're a bar inclusive of everybody, and we will continue to serve Bud Light and Budweiser products.
If you don't like that, then you can leave our establishment.
You don't have to be there.
And they said, don't come to our establishment if you want to complain about Budweiser and Bud Light.
Well, turns out we have a lot more customers that don't like Bud Light than they thought, because a lot of their customers and loyal customers left this bar and won't be returning.
This bar have put up several Facebook posts defending their decision, saying that we're not a bar of hate or bigotry and transphobia, and we're inclusive of all people, including transgenders, etc.
But now, unfortunately, the lesson of go woke, go broke has...
Come full circle again.
Because now the Facebook page of this bar, they're begging their customers to come back.
In their Facebook post, their most recent one, they say, Thank you to all of you for supporting our establishment.
With the departure of our regulars, we have needed new clientele.
And you have answered.
I'm not going to lie.
We still need more of you right now, the page said.
Please consider supporting us.
It's going to be a great year.
So they're...
Stop begging for new customers.
Apparently a lot of clients and customers have left this bar because they took a stand and it was the wrong stand.
Maybe take a stand for something and stop falling for anything and you'll actually have customers again and be a thriving bar.
All right, that's all the time we've got for today.
