Medical Technocrats slipped in medical record codes for those who skipped the mRNA shot or were only partially “vaccinated”. All medical personnel are required to ask you (under penalty) for your vaxx status, and will dutifully enter it into your medical record.

• The Climate Change Rationale For Transforming The American Energy Grid

  17-02-2023 16:11 via technocracy.news
  
  The only reason climate alarmists are pushing to rebuild our energy grid is to accommodate wind and solar power. Our existing grid worked just fine with traditional energy generation, even as it required maintenance to keep it operational. The “new” grid must mix with sporadic on-again, off-again sources of energy. As the “new” grid is formed, traditional energy transmission is a secondary consideration.

  Back in the late 1970s, the American psychologists Guy Woodruff and David Premack devised a series of experiments to explore the cognitive capacity of chimpanzees.

  In 1929, Edwin Hubble calculated the velocity of distant galaxies barely visible through the telescopes at the Mount Wilson Observatory. His observations were the first evidence of a theory that has become a foundation of modern cosmology — the universe is continuously expanding. If you trace that expansion far enough back in time, you reach a distant point in the past. At this point, the entire universe was squeezed into an unfathomably dense spec filled with molten subatomic particles. T
