Most Purple Sandpipers don't move very far in winter. In fact, the Icelandic and West Greenland populations are apparently wholly resident. Breeding populations vary in bill length and wing length, and biometrics can give a good idea where any individual is from. The small, short-billed birds from Norway winter mainly on the east coast between Aberdeen and Yorkshire. But generally, birds wintering in the rest of Britain tend to be longer-billed with longer wings. It has never been proved by ringing but these birds, comprising about 75% of the British population, appear to be from Arctic Canada (eg Baffin Island). They are too long-winged for the resident Icelandic birds, though their bill lengths are similar. I should have said that females are larger and longer-billed than males, which complicates matters as male Canadian birds have bill lengths similar to female Norwegian birds. Statistically this bird from Northumberland is likely to be from Norway as up to 75% of east coast birds are from there, but we still haven't a clue where the tiny population of Scottish breeders spend the winter.
Went to the reserve to see the White Crowed Sparrow today but it did not show. Nice to see this reserve which is not open to the public, only permit holders!
REVISED RESERVE CLOSING TIME STARTING 1st May 2016
Please note the following change in the closing time for the Reserve - From 1st May 2016 the Reserve will close at 20:00 hours, 8:00pm, promptly. The opening time remains at 08:00 hours, 08:00am. Keys obtained with your permits will not operate the locks put in place at closing on the footbridge entrance or the first barrier at the end of Thelwall Lane. Reserve opening and closing times are displayed here on our homepage and on the No3 Bed entrance footbridge gate, please reference this notice on your way in so you are always aware of the Reserve closing time. The gate and barriers will be locked promptly at the stated time please ensure you are off the site before the closing time to prevent being locked in.

Welcome to Woolston Eyes Nature Reserve
An S.S.S.I. Managed by Woolston Eyes Conservation Group

1. Who are the Woolston Eyes Conservation Group?
The WECG
Woolston Eyes Conservation Group, a voluntary organisation formed in 1979, manages the rich and varied wildlife of the deposit grounds with the agreement of the Manchester Ship Canal Company. Its aim is to promote the study and conservation of the wildlife and habitat of the area with particular regard to the ornithology.
The group undertakes management work to preserve or maximise the ornithological value of the Reserve, provides and maintains hides for the use of the public and permit holders, keeps the paths open and discourages disturbance. The group produces an Annual Report which summarises the work carried out and the results obtained including the scientific study of the flora and fauna of the Reserve.
To carry out this work the group raises funds by the sale of Permits, Annual Reports and by applying for grants from various organisations. The Reserve is open from dawn to dusk throughout the year. No.3 bed access requires a permit and key for the vehicle barriers and gated footbridge entrance - see homepage for permit application details.
The group is a registered charity and our charity registration number is 700362.

Frank Linley, who died in October 2002, was a long-standing member of our committee who made highly significant contributions to the Conservation Group. He played a prominent role in the presentation of Annual Reports and Newsletters, established a database of members and initiated our first website. The new Tower Hide has been dedicated to his memory.
WECG has had the privilege of the support of two nationally respected figures as our patrons. The eminent ornithologist, Chris Mead, who died in January 2003 was for many years Patron of WECG and had visited the site from time to time.
More recently the well known Naturalist and Wildlife Broadcaster Chris Packham has become our patron. Chris is best known as the presenter of the BBC programmes Springwatch and Autumnwatch. He first visited the reserve in 2006 as presenter of the BBC wildlife series Natures Calendar, filming a section for the Spring Wetlands feature.
Chris very kindly gave up his time on a chilly February evening in 2010 to entertain a packed house at Warrington’s Parr Hall with a talk and slideshow of his experiences as a naturalist and photographer in support of the group.
We must also recognise and thank Colin Woolf a leading UK wildlife artist who has generously contributed his wonderful artwork for the covers of our annual reports for a number of years. If you appreciate wildlife and stunning drawings and paintings visit Colin’s website www.wildart.co.uk admire his talent and perhaps invest in an original piece of art yourself?
Access and Permits for Woolston Eyes
A public footpath runs from the end of Weir Lane, along the west side of No.2 bed and the north side of the canal to Thelwall Lane. Access to other parts of the Reserve is strictly limited to permit holders between the hours noted on the entrance gate throughout the year. A permit entitles the holder to visit the Eyes on any number of occasions during the year and to make use of the several hides. Please use the form below when making an application. Maps of the Reserve and the principle site No.3 bed can be viewed or downloaded from the FAQ section on the top menu bar.
Permit Pricing 2016
After managing to keep our permit prices down for the past 8 years, we have reluctantly concluded that, for this coming year, we will need to raise the prices to £15-00 for a single permit and £25-00 for a family permit
The additional funds will enable us to retain the full-time services of our Estate Worker, John Langley. Buying in John’s services from the RSPB has enabled us to tackle many of our outstanding habitat management tasks, to the benefit of both wildlife and visitors. I hope you will feel able to continue supporting us in the future.
Brian Ankers WECG Chairman
The WECG wish to stress to Permit Holders that current winter access hours are 08:00 hours to 16:00 hours with gates to the Reserve and entrance track secured between these times with locks which permit holders do not have keys. The opening and closing times will vary through the year as daylight hours change so please check out the times listed on our homepage and on the entrance gate to No3 bed which will be updated accordingly. We also wish to stress the importance of locking all appropriate gates when entering or leaving the Reserve. The “disappearance” of locks from various sites could lead to insurmountable problems.
Group Visits
Woolston Eyes has become a very popular venue for visits by bird watching groups, and in order to cope efficiently with the demand a ‘Group Visit’ procedure has been established. This should enable us to avoid the situation, which has arisen in the past, where several parties arrive on the same day, causing disturbance to the Reserve and congestion and irritation in the hides.
If you wish to book an outing for your group, or bring a party of your bird watching friends to Woolston please check out the latest group visit schedule listed in the scrolling news section of the hompage then write for a booking form to:
Mrs Rosalind Martin, 45 Albert Road, Grappenhall, Warrington, Cheshire,WA4 2 PF, enclosing an SAE. It is important that at least six weeks notice is given of an intended visit.
A booking fee of £20 is normally charged for groups of up to 10 people. For groups of larger than 10 visitors, there is an additional charge of £2 for each visitor above and beyond the “10”. A warden would be available to lead the visitors if so wished (if not, a key must be obtained beforehand in order to gain access to No 3 bed).
History of the Woolston Eyes Area
Not much is known about the area known as the Eyes before the Middle Ages, but we know people were in the area during the Bronze Age, and that the Anglo-Saxons reached the region around 700 AD. In fact the word ‘Ees’ is Saxon for land near a looping watercourse, so the Germanic settlers must have arrived on the banks of the Mersey about this time. Records begin around 500 years later.
Land ownership in the township of Thelwall was fairly stable between 1300 and 1536. During medieval times a third was owned by the Clayton family and the rest by the priory of Norton. The priors owned the valuable fishing rights for the south side of the River Mersey, which if the catches of 1749 were anything to go by, (19 and 23 pound salmon landed in May of that year) were fairly substantial.
At the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536 all monastic land passed to the crown and all Norton Priory’s former possessions were subsequently sold to the Claytons who thus acquired the whole of Thelwall as a private estate. They sold out to the Brookes, who interestingly had purchased Norton priory itself in the 1530s, and may have been seeking to unite its former possessions. However, they in turn sold Thelwall to the Moores, and it changed hands again to the Pickering family, who probably had control of the land by the 1770s when a bridge over the newly built Bridgewater canal was named after them. Thelwall remained in private hands until the late l9th century, when the township was incorporated into Runcorn District Council.
During the winter months the Mersey flooded across the meadows of Thelwall ( the village itself situated on slightly higher ground ). In the summer it is likely that sheep were grazed on the fertile fields which were probably too wet for arable cultivation in a pre-land drain era. Regular references to the Claytons as being ‘of Shepecrofte’ may point to this.
At the time of the famous salmon hauls of the mid 18th century, certain transformations to the Ees meadows were underway, as the effects of the Industrial Revolution began to be felt. Powder mills with workers cottages were constructed where the north bank of No.2 bed currently stands. Woolston Old Cut was the first navigational improvement undertaken across the north bank of No.3 bed ( just north of where the new weir was recently dug), and had occurred by 1777, as testified to by a map of that date. The short canal, or New Cut, further shortened the journey down the river by cutting out the loop of what is now Nos 3 and 4 beds, and wharves were constructed at the southern end of Weir Lane, for boats and goods to transfer onto the canal. On the South bank of the Mersey stood Statham Chemical works. The powder mills were built in 1755, and lasted exactly a century before, ironically, being destroyed by an explosion.
The major change to the area was the construction of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1896, which radically altered the landscape, beyond simply the imposing presence of the new waterway itself. The long meanders of the Mersey through Statham were cut off and became redundant, as did the old canals to the north and the wharves. The old water meadows largely disappeared under the deposit grounds which were constructed from the 1920’s onwards. The various farmsteads which had managed a living on these lowlands ceased to exist with the arrival of the first dredgings, except for the Wilgreaves’ which continued as a working farm until No.3 bed was constructed upon the site in the late 1950’s .The old farming lifestyle which had existed up to then was swept away.

Habitat
The four beds at Woolston Deposit Grounds SSSI, are managed as a nature reserve by the Woolston Eyes Conservation Group in agreement with the Manchester Ship Canal Company. Parts of the site are still in use to accommodate dredging from the Manchester Ship Canal.
No.1 bed which is to the east of the motorway (the Thelwall Viaduct) consists primarily of rough grassland and willow scrub. Sand extraction has created a number of reedy pools which attract small numbers of Snipe and wild fowl. They are also a regular site for wintering Water Pipits.
No.2 bed is currently being used for pumping dredgings from the canal and is consequently attractive to large numbers of wildfowl. During late summer and early autumn, when water levels are at their lowest, muddy margins can appear which provide loafing areas for wildfowl, gulls and a few waders. Water Rails and the odd Spotted Crake are most easily visible at this time. Most of the water lies on the west side but during pumping the centre and east of the bed, which are predominantly willow scrub and Reed Canary Grass, can also become flooded.
No.3 bed lies to the north of a meander of the river. It has recently been made into an island by the diversion of the river along its north bank. This east side of the bed is shallowly flooded and contains extensive beds of typha and some phragmites. The western half of the bed is covered in dense vegetation, mainly grasses, nettles, thistle and willow scrub. An attempt is being made to introduce flower meadows into this area, to increase the habitat diversity, though it will be a year or two before the benefits are seen.
No.4 bed, to the west of the reserve, also lies between the river and the canal. The dredgings which were pumped onto the bed have now dried out and the silt is being excavated and sold as top dressing. The undisturbed areas of the bed are developing a dense cover of willow scrub, nettle and other rank vegetation.
All the beds are enclosed within steep embankments with rough grassland and scrub. In places taller poplars and willow grow alongside the river whose banks are covered in parts by hawthorn, elder, bramble. These banks are bird-rich at most times of year with late summer warbler flocks and early winter thrush flocks being particularly notable. The river and canal both seem to be benefiting from the slow improvement in water quality. In winter substantial flocks of diving duck, including Tufted Ducks, Pochards, Goldeneyes, Goosanders and the odd Scaup or Smew can reliably be found on the river where it encircles No.3 bed. The rubbish tips at both ends of the reserve have now closed and been capped, with both being attractive to winter feeding finches and pipits.
Bird Species
In all, two hundred and thirty two species have been recorded on the Reserve, including thirteen species of raptor, more than thirty species of wader, all five grebes, the three woodpeckers, and five species of owl. Click here for a full species list
Lying next to the Mersey, the flooded beds inevitably attract large numbers of dabbling ducks moving inland from the estuary. The Mersey Valley Pochard flock also spends time here, making this an excellent place to see winter wildfowl. Typically a thousand or more Teal are present, sometimes several times this figure, with several hundred Mallard and Pochard, a hundred or so Shoveller, Gadwall and Tufted Duck, and from a few dozen to several hundred Pintail. Ruddy Duck were also a regular feature. Other species of wildfowl occur less frequently or in smaller numbers, and scarce or rare species such as Ring-necked Duck, Feruginous and Long-tailed Duck, Green Winged Teal, Common Scoter and Smew have been noted. In late autumn and winter skeins of Pink-footed Geese can often be observed making hard weather movements to the east coast.
The water margins of No.3 bed are an excellent nesting habitat for Black-necked, Great Crested and Little Grebes plus Teal, Shoveller, Mallard, Pochard, Gadwall, Tufted and historically Ruddy Ducks. Pintail and Garganey are also suspected of breeding in some years. A similar range of species can also be found breeding on No.2 bed, dependant on water levels. A substantial Black-headed Gull colony dominates the water margins in No.3 bed and can spill over onto No.2 bed when conditions are right.
The Eyes is particularly important, in a county context, for its breeding populations of common warblers. Counts of singing males have totalled more than 200 singing Sedge Warblers, 150 Whitethroats, 100 Willow Warblers, 30 Blackcaps and a similar number of Reed Warblers, plus a dozen Grasshopper Warblers and small numbers of Chiffchaffs, Lesser Whitethroats and Garden Warblers.In the damper areas upto 100 Reed Bunting are present in summer.
Large aggregations of aerial feeders may be present from May to September, with many hundreds of Swifts joining the swirling flocks of hirundines feeding over the insect rich lagoons. In most years there is a sizeable Swallow roost, regularly up to 3,000 birds but sometimes reaching 10,000. Inevitably, a Hobby is often in attendance and provides some spectacular aerial performances. From October to early winter thousands of Redwing and other thrushes arrive to feed on the berry-rich hawthorns around the banks of the beds.
In winter roosts dwindle as food supplies diminish, although Magpies seldom seen to go hungry and over 200 continue to roost in the scrub. Finches, notably Linnets, Goldfinches and Chaffinches flock to feed on weed seeds on the drier parts of the muddy beds, with odd Siskins and Bramblings regularly located amongst them . A sprinkling of Chiffchaff remains in willow scrub during most winters and Firecrests have occasionally wintered alongside the more numerous Goldcrests.
Wader passage is much smaller than formerly due to changes in the pumping regime into the beds. Spring passage is typically light, although Common Sandpiper are seen regularly in late April and early May, and on one occasion stayed to breed. Little Ringed Plover appear annually and usually attempt to breed. The inland spread of Ringed Plover has resulted in this species also breeding. Autumn passage is much more reliable and although not as prolific as in the past, Snipe, Jack Snipe and Lapwing are reliably present, with the occasional Green Sandpiper, Dunlins, Greenshanks etc. for company.
As far as rare or scarce birds are concerned, Woolston remains a much under-watched site, offering much opportunity for the discovery of that ever-elusive rarity. Nevertheless, almost two decades of observation by a small number of enthusiasts, spread over Woolstons huge acreage, has produced some good birds, including: Storm and Leachs Petrels, Spoonbill, Bittern, Night and Purple Herons, Ring-necked and Ferruginous Ducks, Quail, Honey and Rough-legged Buzzards, Red Kite, Montagues Harrier, Temmincks Stint, White-rumped, Pectoral and Buff-breasted Sandpipers, Red-necked and Wilson`s Phalaropes, Avocet, Great and Arctic Skuas, Laughing, Mediterranean and Ring-billed Gulls, Whiskered and White-winged Black Terns, Bee-eater, Nightjar, Golden Oriole, Bluethroat, Great Grey Shrike, Marsh Warbler, Firecrest and Nutcracker.
Ringing
Over 110,000 birds have been ringed at Woolston since ringing first started here in 1980. A small team now operates on all four beds, usually from April to October each year, ringing around 4,000 birds per year. During more recent years, Woolston has taken part in an international ringing programme, aimed at studying those migratory species which winter in Africa. During the summer and early autumn large numbers of common warblers are ringed, with full biometrics taken, as part of that research programme. In the latter part of the year the focus is on tape-luring overflying finches and buntings. At any time there is the constant chance of the odd surprise, with Marsh Warbler, Bluethroat and Firecrest among the scarcer species ringed.
Ringing is a physically demanding and time consuming occupation but one which brings many rewards in terms of our knowledge of national and local bird populations. If you are interested in observing, or taking a more active part in the ringing programme, then please contact Dave Riley or Prof. David Norman through the website email facility via the ‘Contact’ tab.
Juvenile Red-rumped swallow waiting to be fed on a fig tree branch. It's early in the morning, so the sunlight is on the opposite side... I like the concentrated look in this photo. I hope you like it as much as I do!.
Red-rumped swallow juvenile is duller with browner upperparts, paler rufous areas and more indistinct streaking. The tail is shorter and the wing feathers are tipped buff.
Red-rumped swallow - They lack a breast band, but have black undertails. They are fast fliers and they swoop on insects while airborne. They have broad but pointed wings. Red-rumped swallows build quarter-sphere nests with a tunnel entrance lined with mud collected in their beaks, and lay 3 to 6 eggs.
Biometrics:
Length: 16-17 cm
Weight: 19-29 g
The Red-rumped Swallow adult is very similar to the Barn Swallow with orange-rufous neck sides and rump. The buffy underparts show long, dark streaks. The underwing-coverts are creamy-buff, while the undertail-coverts are black.
On the upperparts, crown and back are glossy deep blue. They are separated by partial chestnut collar. The rump is chestnut to orange-rufous, finely streaked black. Upperwing and uppertail are blackish and slightly glossy. The outer rectrices are elongated, up to 3,5 cm.
The blackish bill is short and flat with wide gape. The eyes are dark brown. The short legs and the small, weak feet are blackish.
The female has similar plumage but she has shorter tail than male.
Both adults build the nest and collect mud as a pellet in the bill, usually close to the nest site. The flask-shaped nest has a tubular entrance. It is placed on rocky ledges, buildings, under bridges and caves. It is cemented to the horizontal surface from below. There is a lining of soft grass and feathers inside the nest. They need 5/15 days to build this peculiar structure placed between 5 and 20 metres above the ground.
The Red-rumped Swallow has very wide range. It is common throughout it, although being uncommon to locally common in W Africa, and rather local in E Africa.
The population size is unknown but the trend was stable between 1980 and 2011.
The Red-rumped Swallow is currently evaluated as Least Concern.

Stephens clicked his mic: "Control - Floor secured. Tangos are down... " he looked at the door and noticed the still active lock status. He allowed a quick sigh.
"Gregs, watch that corner. With the lifts down it'll take awhile for the drones to take the stairs... "
He clicked his mic again: "Control - Server room located, door is locked. Where's or biometrics?"
But he didn't need to know the answer he can still hear the firefight.

Welcome to the coming cyberpunk era, a dystopian future of moral decay. The global surveillance grid will track everything you do via the biometric chip implanted under your skin. If you refuse to be inoculated against the virus of humanity and to merge yourself with AI, you will be an enemy of the new world state. All such criminals must flee their 15-minute smart cities or risk the death penalty. They will hide in the cyberpunk wastelands around the outskirts of the city.
These videos are shot outside the city where I live. A wildfire burned this area two years ago. The water in this area is the city reservoir. My city has been called Canada’s first “real world 5G smart city,” which “will serve as a blueprint for the development of made-in-Canada 5G smart city technology.” “The United for Smart Sustainable Cities (U4SSC) initiative is a global UN collaboration,” which “serves as an international platform for exchanging knowledge and fostering partnerships to empower cities and communities in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.”
The lyrics of these songs are from the Book of Revelation. They will loosely follow the seal, trumpet, and bowl judgments. Each of the three judgments will have a different style of cyberpunk music. I have made about 60 presets with cyberpunk sounds, and I am currently working on more.
Lyrics:
His eyes are like flames of fire
His robe is dipped in blood
His name is the Word of God
He is the Lord of all lords
His words, like a sharp sword,
Will strike down the nations
Ruling them with an iron rod
He is the King of all kings
He will tread the winepress
of the fury of the wrath of
God, the Almighty One
The God of all gods
The Beast and his armies
Wage war against Christ
Christ killed the commies
For serving the antichrist
All birds overhead
Come to the banquet
Partake of the dead
Just like the maggot
Revelation 19: 11-21
Everything is packed, loaded and ready to go. Nova Team is about to embark on their newest mission to explore a should-be desolate planet which is exhibiting strange biometric readings. Admiral Aydan Arrius shakes hands with Captain Knight and Lieutenant Stargazer wishing the team a "good luck" on their upcoming adventure.
I know I've been dragging this story out REALLY long and many of you are looking forward to Nova Team finally getting on the planet, well I promise you this is the last "prep" shot. Next time you see them, they WILL be on the planet and with a new craft I've built for this mission! I can't wait to share it with you guys!!! Thanks for all your continued support and interest!
To learn more about Nova Team's other adventures visit their album: flic.kr/s/aHskpavQh5</b
For those who are interested, unfortunately I am unable to sell the Nova Team minifigures or designs due to the use of the "Classic Space" logo which is owned and trademarked by The LEGO Group. My custom designed figures and use of the official "Classic Space" logo is for personal use only in my MOCs and photography. By the same token, I will not give away the design files and source material either. Thank you for understanding! Trust me, if I could legally sell these, I would.
If you want to look at a medical paper with pictures, then this is your lucky day! Any doctors want to comment on this study?
“All of the abnormal blood samples of injected persons, the 948 cases, showed tubular/fibrous formations and frequently also crystalline and lamellar formations with extremely complex but consistently similar morphologies across all of the patients with abnormal blood samples. Our results are so similar to those of Lee et al. (2022) that it could be claimed that, except for our innovative application of dark-field microscopy to mark the foreign metal-like objects in the blood of mRNA injections from Pfizer or Moderna, we have replicated the blood work of the Korean doctors with a much larger sample. Our findings, however, are bolstered by their parallel analysis of the fluids in vials of the mRNA concoctions alongside centrifuged plasma samples from the cases they studied intensively. What seems plain enough is that metallic particles resembling graphene oxide and possibly other metallic compounds, like those discovered by Gatti and Montanari (Montanari & Gatti, 2016; Gatti & Montanari, 2012, 2017, 2018), have been included in the cocktail of whatever the manufacturers have seen fit to put in the so-called mRNA “vaccines”. In our experience as clinicians, these mRNA injections are very unlike traditional “vaccines” and their manufacturers need, in our opinions, to come clean about what is in the injections and why it is there.”

Gates Foundation: $200 million to expand global Digital Public Infrastructure:
“This funding will help expand infrastructure that low- and middle-income countries can use to become more resilient to crises such as food shortages, public health threats, and climate change, as well as to aid in pandemic and economic recovery. This infrastructure encompasses tools such as interoperable payment systems, digital ID, data-sharing systems, and civil registry databases.”

A third were darkened
Revelation 8:12 “Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. And there was no light for a third of the day and for a third of the night likewise.”
Together we’re building a new identity ecosystem, a globally recognized universal biometric ID blockchain system. It will be a biometric smartchip ID that will be tracked worldwide by AI to solve the 17 sustainable development goals.
The Mark of the Beast is a Certification Mark of authentication (the new global standard), affirming that all who are involved with this new global biometric digital ID blockchain are compliant with the core principles of the 17 Sustainable Development goals, which have been adopted by all the United Nations Member States. No one will be able to buy or sell or do anything in society without this Certification Mark. This Mark will now become mandatory for all. Without it, you will be arrested.
Through the means of a microchip implant we will be able to eradicate human trafficking (we cause the crisis, and then we offer you the solution). Every kind of supposed virtuous cause will be exploited to promote the 666 Beastchip. Climate change…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah. Refugees…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah. Human rights…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah. Fight poverty…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah. For the sake of equality, inclusiveness, and sustainability…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah.

SHIELD Base, Unknown Location - 5:43AM
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Seriously, what is up with you guys and doing everything so early in the morning?"
We turn a corner and walk into a hallway. SHIELD agents rush by us on every side.
"We don't enjoy wasting time, Mr. Stark."
"Sure thing, Mister!" I say sarcastically.
An agent walks by and bumps into my shoulder by accident, dropping some of his papers. I try to help him pick them up, but he crumples them into his hand and scrambles away.
"You people sure seem scared of something."
"Nothing to worry about. Here -- this way."
We turn another corner and arrive in a spacious corridor. At the end is a room, presumably my new home.
"Oh, Mr. Stark, we did leave one thing out of our deal?"
Of course.
"We're giving you a partner."
"Excuse me!? For what?"
"We've seen your track record. You've worked with Pepper Potts, and have an impressive tendency to get yourself into situations you can't get yourself out of."
"Like?"
Fury gestures to my robotic hand. I shrug.
We approach the door, which, upon further inspection, looks like something out of the Star Wars Prequels.
"Here, place your hand on this scanner. We scanned your biometrics on the way over, so the door should be coded to you and only you."
Typical SHIELD.
I place my hand on the scanner, and after a few seconds, the door slides open. Inside is a carpet, a table, and a woman sitting on a bed.
"Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mr. Stark." She says, in a heavy Russian accent.
"Woah, Fury, you didn't say she was a....well....She.
"Is there a problem with this?"
She looks at me dead in the eyes. Her stare is cold. Looks like she's done this before.
"Not at all, Ms..."
"Romanoff. Natalia Romanoff. You may call me Black Widow."
"Cool. Code names are all the fad these days."
She gets up off of my bed and walks out of the room. I spot two pistols holstered to her back.
"Guess I shouldn't mess with her, huh?"
Fury disregards my comment and walks into the room, introducing me to what I have. Turns out I have a wardrobe that comes out of the wall, a place to store my suit(s), and a TV.
"Ms. Romanoff requested that you get a PS4 in the room. To suit your....personality."
That's rude.
"Eh. I'm more of an Xbox guy."
Fury walks out of the room, the door shutting behind him.

Extremely sorry that I haven't been pumping out issues as much as I'd like to. The school year is nearly over, so the tests and the workload are really beginning to pile up. I'll try to post more!

Welcome to the coming cyberpunk era, a dystopian future of moral decay. The global surveillance grid will track everything you do via the biometric chip implanted under your skin. If you refuse to be inoculated against the virus of humanity and to merge yourself with AI, you will be an enemy of the new world state. All such criminals must flee their 15-minute smart cities or risk the death penalty. They will hide in the cyberpunk wastelands around the outskirts of the city.
These videos are shot outside the city where I live. A wildfire burned this area two years ago. The water in this area is the city reservoir. My city has been called Canada’s first “real world 5G smart city,” which “will serve as a blueprint for the development of made-in-Canada 5G smart city technology.” “The United for Smart Sustainable Cities (U4SSC) initiative is a global UN collaboration,” which “serves as an international platform for exchanging knowledge and fostering partnerships to empower cities and communities in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.”
The lyrics of these songs are from the Book of Revelation. They will loosely follow the seal, trumpet, and bowl judgments. Each of the three judgments will have a different style of cyberpunk music. I have made about 60 presets with cyberpunk sounds, and I am currently working on more.
Lyrics:
The second seal
A red horse
Bloodshed
And war
Revelation 6:3-4 “When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, ‘Come!’ And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.”
The World Economic Forum: “The only way to stop the exponential propagation of a COVID-like cyber threat is to fully disconnect the millions of vulnerable devices [social distancing and quarantining of all electronic devices] from one another and from the internet.” Great, a repackaged plandemic made in a computer lab! Build (the internet) Back Better! The Great (computer) Reset! The official narrative: a nonlinear, three-dimensional, AI virus has attacked the internet! This fake Cyber Pandemic will shut down the internet, and they will swap it out for the Internet 2.0; the full rollout of the real metaverse; a tightly controlled internet/virtual world that will be linked to a Universal Digital ID number and Social Credit Score System. This new (non-infected) internet will be the safest space ever, with no misinformation or disinformation (just NWO propaganda). Ironically, its critics will nickname it: the Ministry of Truth.
Eventually the New World Order will announce: every one must be microchipped! In order to save the planet, we must monitor everyone’s carbon footprint—as you can see, we are in a Climate Pandemic! This pandemic is causing worldwide famines and plagues. Therefore we must use smartchip biometric surveillance technology to track the rationing of water, food, and medicine. Through AI monitoring, we will know that everything is being rationed out properly. This will not only ensure equality for all, but it will also cut out all mismanagement and theft. Transhumanism, here we come! 666 smartchip hacks: neural monitoring by AI-driven mind control technology. 666 smartchip jab injuries: “And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes. During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.”
BTW The Beast will be immune to all lawsuits! And those who refuse the smartchip jab will not be able to buy or sell. In fact, they will be enemies of the state. They will be hunted down and sentenced to death. They will face the guillotine, as the transhumans cheer: death to humanity! “And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the Beast or his Image and had not received his Mark on their foreheads or their hands.”
“China is in the process of fulfilling what Stalin, Hitler and Mao could only dream about: The flawless totalitarian state, powered by digital technology, where the individual has nowhere to flee from the all-seeing eye of the Communist state.” The same thing will happen worldwide as countries implement a Central Bank Digital Currency, a Biometric Digital ID, and a Chinese style Social Credit Score System, which will ultimately lead to the microchipping of humanity (transhumanism).

****************************************************************
Le pic vit dans les endroits où il y a de gros arbres, mais plus rare dans la grande forêt.
Ils habitent le Canada, les États Unis, et quelques espèces vivent en Europe, comme le pic vert, le pic épeiche et le cendré.
On le nomme pic bois car il fait son nid dans un trou qu'il creuse dans le bois. Il a de petites pattes qui l'aide à s'accrocher aux troncs d'arbres.
Avec son bec il creuse l'écorce des arbres pour y dévorer les vers blancs et les larves qui s'y creusent des tunnels. On peut entendre le bruit qu'il fait en frappant l'écorce de son solide bec.
Le pic est un agile grimpeur et ne craindra pas de s'approcher des arbres près des maisons, dans les vergers, les jardins et les parcs.
Au printemps, le mâle et la femelle s'occupent sans relâche à creuser un trou dans un arbre mort pour y installer leur nid. Selon l'espèce, la femelle pondra 4 oeufs que les deux parents couveront pendant deux semaines.
Les parents nourrissent les bébés, mais après quelques semaines, ils sauront se tirer d'affaire seuls. Le pic ne migre habituellement pas, sauf le pic flamboyant et le pic maculé, car c'est un oiseau qui est conditionné pour passer l'hiver où il vit.
La durée de vie du pic va de 6 à 15 ans selon l'espèce.
Wokeism is a socialist religious awakening, a cult enlightenment.
Wokism in the West has many similarities to the Struggle Sessions in Maoist China during the Cultural Revolution. This Western neo-Maoism is a softer cultural revolution than what happened in China. However, in the end, it will get violent too.
Diversity training is like a Chinese revolution Struggle Session. Apologize for being white. Apologise for having some sort of (fake) hidden racism. Renounce yourself! Apologize! Bow and take a knee! Can anyone say: brain washing? It’s like your being demoralised in a mentally abusive relationship. If you let this psychological abuse continue, you will end up becoming a shell of yourself. Character assassination anyone? Like cracks in a dam, these communist tactics will wreak havoc on your mind. Anything you say or do will be used against you in the court of the radicalized mob—the woke Red Guards. Though they accuse you of fake crimes and fake problems, don’t let them bully you. Get out of that abusive relationship. These radicalized people are full of bitterness and hate, because they themselves are compromised.
Schools have become rededication camps, brainwashing the students with Critical Race Theory and Gender Theory. The youth were the revolutionaries, the Red Guards in the Chinese Cultural Revolution. The oppressed vs the oppressors! Let’s purge society of the Four Olds: Old Culture, Old Ideas, Old Habits, and Old Customs. We must destroy you, so that we can mold you into a woke Marxist revolutionary. Let’s riot, burn and loot! Let’s tear down historical statues! We must destroy your democratic system, so that we can install our authoritarian system.
“You have been trained to hate, allegedly in the name of stopping hate.” You have been radicalized, you have become activists. You are change agents, useful idiots who we will be disposed of when you have served your purposes. As the dialectic moves on, you will one day become a liability—utterly disposable. The dialectic: “Manufacture the conflict, use the conflict, and move history with the conflict through our kind of social alchemy” (problem, reaction, solution).
What if a stranger came up to your children and talked to them about sexual issues, and then told your children not to tell you (the parent) what they said? It’s our little secret!!! Wouldn’t you tell your children to stay away from bad people (predators) like them, because they are creeps and perverts? So why is it appropriate for schools and teachers to tell your children not to tell you (the parents) about the sexual indoctrination they are receiving? Why are they trying to hide what they are doing with your children? Hormone blockers anyone!?! The fact that they have to hide these things says it all! With the blatant loss of commonsense these days, there are many people who don’t care to understand what sexual grooming is. It’s no different then promoting adult sexual fetishes (adult entertainment) to children. Come on children, let’s watch a grown man dress up as a woman and dance in a sexual manner—it’s good for you. These deviants are not only grooming our children to be used for their future sexual desires (LGBTQ + Pedophiles: they will continue to add to the “plus”, because the Hegelian Dialectic is ever moving forward and expanding), they are also grooming our children to be the next Red Guards (who will enforce the latest and greatest thing in woke-Marxism [Cultural Marxism; Cultural Revolution]). Any kind of abuse, including sexual abuse, can be used in trauma-based mind control. Perverting the minds of the child: how could this not go wrong? “Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world.” “Bad things happen when good people pretend nothing is wrong.” “Bad things happen if good people do nothing.” “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
A school board in Quebec spent $1,600 dollars for a drag queen conference in school. Overcrowded classrooms…who cares! Teacher shortages…who cares! Reading, writing, and arithmetic…who cares! Exposing children to perverted adult fetishes…two thumbs up, we’ve got the money!! Children aren’t legally old enough to drive. Children aren’t legally old enough to vote. They aren’t legally old enough to buy alcohol. They aren’t legally old enough to go to the bar. They aren’t legally old enough to get a tattoo. They aren’t legally old enough to walk into a porn shop and buy porn. They aren’t legally old enough to go to a strip club…but hey…they can watch transvestites dance around like strippers…it’s perfectly legal…it’s perfectly fine…it’s perfectly normal…it’s perfectly moral. And if you disagree with us grooming your children, then you are an non-inclusive bigot! Woohoo…the inclusiveness of the non-inclusive bigots (bullies)! Wokeism: hypocrisy at its finest!! Are these woke neo-Maoist’s going to have an Anti-Rightist Campaign too…buhahaha!!
As any normal sane person can see, the world is turning upside down. Authoritarianism is coming, and when it fully blossoms it will have a leader—the antichrist. As with all authoritarianism, there will be lots of brutality, death and murder. The hallmark of this coming techno-authoritarianism will be this: it will behead its enemies.
“I also saw the people who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of God’s word, who had not worshiped the Beast or his Image, and who had not accepted the Mark on their foreheads or their hands.”
“Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.”
This authoritarian regime will be full of murder, sexual immorality, occultism, and theft.
“And they did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.”
As the Bible warns: it will be the worst time the world will ever see!
“For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.”
You are being deceived/socially engineered/groomed for this coming authoritarianism. Soon we will each have a Biometric Digital ID that will be connected to a Social Credit Score and linked to a Central Bank Digital Currency and a Digital Wallet. After this stuff is fully implemented, they will eventually come out with a smartchip (666). Once you accept this smartchip your eternity will be sealed.
“And the smoke of their torment will go up forever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the Beast and his Image, or anyone who receives the Mark of his name.”
“As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.”
“Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.”
Sin is mental illness, and Jesus is the cure!

Verifying you are human. This may take a few seconds.
It is becoming difficult to distinguish online between Artificial Intelligence and human activity. A biometric framework is needed for individuals to prove their humanity, so they can gain access to services like the internet. Scan your Iris to gain access to Central Bank Digital Currencies and Universal Basic Income. Universal Basic Income will be needed to transition the world into a new sustainable order. Universal Basic Income will be the solution to the unemployment problem caused by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. As Artificial Intelligence progresses, human jobs will continue to decrease.
Humanity must be further prodded towards a smart-chip tattoo, which will authenticate Proof of Personhood for the World ID system. Whoever is in the World ID database will obtain global citizenship. However, those who do not participate in this biometric system will be locked out of society. The World ID system will facilitate a society-wide transition to Worldunicoin. Our motto: “Leave no one behind.” World ID will be the global standard—the global Proof of Personhood—to access all goods and services.
A rider on a white horse, a small horn rising to power, proclaiming peace in a chaotic world: peace and safety for all humankind! Is this not the rider, the figure on the Worldunicoin? Take his seal on your right hand or forehead for Proof of Global Citizenhood, and then you can buy and sell in the new global order. “And all who dwell on the earth will worship the Beast—all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain.”
This orange flower hidden under the dense growth of grass is known locally around my area as Iring-iring , it normally grows wild. This wild flowering shrub has variety of them which has blooms of different colours from orange, pink, deep red,yellow or mixed colours and has dark purple berries which is edible. When I was a kid , I sometimes pick their berries in the wild and ate them, as they are sweet. In the past decades I've noticed they are being cultivated as ornamental plants, have seen them planted in city parks many times .

Bible verses
Matthews 24 : 3 - 8
3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”
4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

Lyrics:
Demonic locusts of biblical proportions
Out of the smoke comes torment and suffering
Revelation 9:1-12
The concept of this image and write-up stems from the book Between Two Ages, which was written by Zbigniew Brzezinski and published in 1970. The content of this book deals with issues from the Cold War era. Much of the information is obsolete, yet some of it can be applied to our time. He even left a few nuggets of insight into the globalist plan.
Brzezinski wondered how America would fare in its transition from the industrial age to the technetronic age (the digital age or the third industrial revolution). Currently, we are in transition between the third industrial revolution and the fourth industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution occurred in the 18th and 19th centuries and introduced mechanization and industry. The second industrial revolution took place in the late 19th and early 20th century and brought electricity and mass production. The third industrial revolution, from the mid-20th century to the present, gave us computers and the internet. We are currently entering the fourth industrial revolution. It will usher in artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, quantum computing, blockchain and digital ledgers, digital tokenization and crypto assets, virtual and mixed reality, biotechnology and transhumanism. The fourth industrial revolution will introduce a new worldwide economic system based around digital biometric IDs, central bank digital currencies, social credit scores, and carbon footprint trackers. During COVID-19, the transition of the fourth industrial revolution was referred to as the Great Reset or Build Back Better. Understand this: they cannot bring in this new system without the implementation of digital IDs!
The elitist scum don’t have the power to take over the world by force. They must seize it slowly through deception, propaganda, social engineering, and technology. Technology has both unified and fragmented society. Civilization was once separated by time and space. A person on one side of the world didn’t know what was happening on the other side. A traveler or messenger would have to travel a long way to relay distant news. Technology gave us the radio, the television, and the internet. As technology advanced, it reduced time and space between people. This sped things up. Today, we find people with similar interests online. We put less effort into local friendships that build community. We, instead, build impersonal relationships with people from around the world. We have isolated ourselves from the real world and those around us. This isolates us from our social support system, and we become lonely. A similar situation happens with nations. Nations also had a certain amount of time and space, which acted as insulators against excessive friction. This gave them room to maneuver, and it gave them the distance needed to maintain their own identity.
As people increasingly moved to the big cities, it became harder for them to make and maintain friendships. Agenda 21 of the United Nations aims to relocate individuals from rural areas to the cities. They call it sustainability. They will use endangered species as an excuse to keep or push people off the land. Aww, those poor endangered turtles and frogs! The Bundy Ranch standoff highlighted some of these things. “When the U.S. government declared the Mojave desert tortoise an endangered species in 1989, it effectively marked the cattle ranchers of Nevada’s Clark County for extinction. Rancher Cliven Bundy once had neighbors on the range: when the tortoise was listed, there were about 50 cattle-ranching families in the county. Some of them fought court battles to stay, rejecting the idea their cattle posed a danger to the tortoises. But, one by one, they slowly gave up and disappeared. Clark County is not an isolated case. Disputes over land rights are playing out in many Western states, especially in rural areas, where some residents and lawmakers question the legitimacy of the federal government’s claim to swathes of land.” They also want to designate more and more land as parklands and protected areas.
Previously, I posted a write-up inspired by three Canadian government documents. These documents said that climate change would eventually drive people off parts of the land, and that insurance companies would not provide insurance to anyone living in such areas. They also talked about regularly using weather manipulation. Shocker! One thing I failed to mention was their plan to give large tracts of land to the Indians. They admitted that this would cause anger, protests, and violence. British Columbia passed legislation to incorporate this United Nations declaration into law: the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. The government is now working towards giving the Indians vast plots of land. The Indians are claiming a city not far from me! This would destroy private property rights in the province. Read the communist manifesto, and you’ll see who desires to abolish private property. Decolonization! Truth and reconciliation! This is nothing new to me; I knew these things were coming many years ago. I knew they would use the Indians to drive us from the rural areas into the cities. Eventually, they will remove the Indians from the land. They are but pawns.
Agenda 21 is the 100-year plan of the United Nations to implement global governance. They must rely on public-private partnerships (governments, corporations, NGOs, and billionaires) to execute their plan. This is a form of fascism! As we speak, governments, corporations, and billionaires are swallowing up rural lands. Rural data centers, anyone? Save the environment! Climate emergency! Mismanage the forests to create wildfires. Mismanage logging to cause flooding. 15-minute smart cities are the future! How about Saudi Arabia’s megacity NEOM, which will be 170 kilometers long! NEOM will be a special economic zone—a Network state. Or what about Tri-State City, which would span across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany? Get the farmers off the land; we need to build our Tower of Babel! “The next Global superpower will be a Network state.” These megacity Network states will be part of a worldwide techno-feudal system. In the Book of Revelation, there are ten kings, just sayin’.
When one era ends and another begins, the lines get blurred. At the time, it’s hard to distinguish which era is which. This new era will shape our society culturally, psychologically, socially, and economically. It will affect all aspects of our lives. In order to bring us into this age, they will need to swap the old system with the new. The old is not compatible with the new.
AI will replace many jobs, so we must introduce Universal Basic Income. Yet, to truly solve this problem, we must merge man with AI. Transhumanism will bring about worldwide equality! These post-humans will become dependent on the new system. There will be no going back to the old system or way of life. They must deal with their loss of humanity. They must find a new sense of meaning in this brave new world. Their perceived reality will be different, yet their new sensations will be quite real.
Everyone will be completely malleable. We will tamper with their very essence. We will modify their personality, manipulate their behavior, exploit their emotions, control their reason, and guide their conscious decisions. No longer will propaganda be needed to manipulate them. “I foresee the time when we shall have the means and therefore, inevitably, the temptation to manipulate the behaviour and intellectual functioning of all the people through environmental and biochemical manipulation of the brain.” Indeed, Brzezinski mentioned using chemicals for mind control and altering the human genetic structure. He also believed that in a few decades, “they could develop a system that would seriously impair the brain performance of very large populations.” Such a society would be dominated by technocrats whose claim to power would be superior scientific knowledge. They would not hesitate to influence public behavior with the latest modern technology. They would keep society under close surveillance and control.
People’s reality has moved from a local to a global context. Brzezinski doesn’t like the term “global village,” instead, he likes the term “global city.” A village has important characteristics such as: “personal stability, interpersonal intimacy, implicitly shared values, and traditions.” A global city, on the other hand, is “a nervous, agitated, tense, and fragmented web of interdependent relations.” The interactions of the global city lack intimacy, which causes insecurity. The high-trust culture associated with village intimacy will be absent from the nervous interaction of the global city.
A global community fragments humanity. It detaches people from their traditional roots. In the past, an individual only associated with their family and village. Eventually, their reach expanded to other regions of the nation. Today, we associate with a global community. The past had greater cohesion and harmony than the global ecosystem of today. Currently, experts from around the world collaborate to solve problems. This sounds like ‘global citizens,’ from a ‘global community,’ solving ‘global problems.’ Kumbaya! Social engineering at its finest!
Mass media exploits our fragmented society, creating a highly controlled society. Cultural change will come through social engineering. People will deliberately and consciously choose to follow what they’ve been fed. According to Brzezinski, electronic devices could be used to educate children from home. This is reminiscent of COVID-19! During the next plandemic or climate lockdown, these “developments may become the handmaidens of constructive change.” Brzezinski also concluded that feminism would enhance society’s cultural growth and standards. Of course, anything that corrupts and fragments society helps the globalist agenda.
“A community of the developed nations must eventually be formed if the world is to respond effectively to the increasingly serious crisis that in different ways now threatens both the advanced world and the Third World.” They want to bring together the leaders of the developed world to discuss global problems. As you can see today, we have globalist entities like the G7 and G20. They desire to use global cooperation to string the world’s nations together, using “a variety of indirect ties.” They can then steer those nations by using various intergovernmental organizations. Of course, their crowning jewel is the United Nations. They must have interconnected cooperation—a cooperative community of nations. They want the rich nations to help the poor nations, because they don’t want the third world to revolt against the system. Foreign aid, here we come, cha-ching, cha-ching! Foreign aid is also a great tool for guiding the Third World in the desired direction.
Brzezinski said that sovereignty is fiction. He stated that they must make “intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure.” Cashless society, here we come! They want to build an “international structure of production and financing” for international trade. In progressive stages, they want to introduce free-trade areas. Of course, these free-trade areas (economic zones) are really megacity Network states. They want to bring in a “global taxation system.” Woohoo, a global carbon tax!
Just think! A man on a white horse brings peace to the Middle East. Then the Jews start building their new temple. Strange, a rider on a red horse then comes to take peace from the earth? The Enlightenment tradition has failed! Liberalism has failed! Democracy has failed! Free market capitalism has failed! Therefore, we’ll introduce a new authoritarian system! Stakeholder capitalism (fascism), here we come! Green economy, here we go! Fight the state, fight diversity, have your civil war, the red horseman will slaughter you with his sword. Oh, wait, what do we have here? The mother of all harlots—the world religion—rides in on the Beast with seven heads and ten horns (kings). We’ll create a one-world religion and bring spiritual unity. Hey, let’s have a ceremony for the new Jewish temple! Now, the vision of the trashumanists will come true: an AI god will be introduced. Oh, what’s this abominable idol of desolation sitting in the temple? World, here’s your new AI god! Surprise, surprise, a zealous Jew kills the antichrist at the celebration. Wow, say it ain’t so, the antichrist comes back to life! “He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits in God’s temple, proclaiming that he himself is God.” Hooray, the christ has risen! Let’s worship the antichrist and his Image. Then the Beast and the ten kings destroy the harlot (Revelation 17:16). She served her purpose; we have the true christ now! Ta-da, all people must take the Mark of the Beast-chip. Finally, the world has transitioned into the new age. It’s an age of global technocratic governance and transhumanism.
The mindset of some of these globalists and transhumanists could be used to create a sci-fi movie: The technocrats rule as kings in their Network states. They recreate mankind in their own image (trans-humans). They recreate nature (trans-nature). Eventually, the useless eaters—the peasant class—are done away with. No upgrades for you! The technocrats then fight to outlast, outwit, and outplay one another, until they destroy the earth and what’s left of mankind. Next, they inhabit the planets, recreating the universe (trans-universe). In the end, they fight until one is left standing. The winner is declared god!
“This new perspective involves growing recognition that man’s propensity for scientific innovation cannot be restrained—that as long as man’s mind functions, scientific innovation will be one of its expressions.” ‒ Zbigniew Brzezinski
Our world appears to be like The Truman Show: scripted and fake! I’ve stumbled upon numerous things over the years, and I hope to study them deeply. It would take a lifetime of reading. Nevertheless, I think it’s possible to find the evidence needed to answer my questions.

Revelation 17:12-13: “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the Beast. They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the Beast.”
As countries undemocratically move towards implementing their New World Order goals of a net zero future, urban areas will evolve into smart ghettos. We’ll transform this world into one big community of Agenda 21 smart cities. We’ll use community-led initiatives to make Personal Carbon Allowance Programs palatable and socially acceptable to the sheep. We’ll promote an authoritarian system for tracking your carbon emissions. The levers of mass formation psychosis will be much more impactful through global citizen re-education programs. There has been much advancement in Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies such as AI and machine-learning. These technologies will play a key role in tracking your lifestyle emissions, so that you can make ethical decisions. AI will monitor your consumer habits by using your historical and real time data, providing recommendations for your needs. AI will provide an in-depth analyzes on the choices you make for food, transport, and utilities. Energy efficiency apps will provide statistics about your lifestyle emissions, helping you to reduce your consumer-related footprint. Awareness of your home energy consumption will help you change your lifestyle, thus you can do your part in saving the planet. Eventually AI will control every aspect of your life. It will plan out your days. It will control how long you sleep and what you eat. It will control your home utilities. We must be willing to change how we live and work, so that we can combat the effects of geoengeneered climate change. For a greener tomorrow we must lower our lifestyle emissions. We must lower our expectations and become a lifestyle emissions slave. Climate crisis rationing, do your part to save the earth! You are nothing but bottom feeders, carbon polluters! Our plan is not only to depopulate the earth but to replace humanity with human-machine hybrids. It’s for the greater good of the planet! You will be deemed obsolete, because you aren’t part of a sustainable future—net zero human-machine hybrids are the future. Survival of the fittest—Outwit, Outplay, Outlast!
You’ll be a digital slave in a digital gulag, socially engineered and controlled by a Social Credit Score System. Smart ID’s-smart currency. Hello world! Hello facial recognition and biometrics! Hello surveillance society! The future definitely doesn’t look dystopian, now does it!?! Smart cities-to smart homes-to smart people (transhumans). Smart chip-smart people-controlled sheep. “Disaster will be inescapable, as if a man ran from a lion only to meet a bear, then escaped into a house, leaned his hand against the wall, and was bitten by a poisonous snake.”
Since the globalists are possessed by the spirit of antichrist, they are paving the way for the eventually reign of the Antichrist.
David Spangler: “We do not want another committee, we have too many already. What we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the allegiance of all the people and to lift us up out of the economic morass into which we are sinking. Send us such a man, and whether he be God or devil, we will receive him.”
If you take the Mark (666) your mind will be changed from that of a man, to that of the Beast, till seven times pass by for him. Seven will be the Dragons years. The Beast will say, “Is this not Babylon the Great, which I myself have built by the might of my power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty?” However, a proclamation will be made: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.” Then the handwriting will be on the wall:
“God has numbered the days of your reign and has brought it to an end.”
“You have been weighed on the balances and have not measured up.”
Your kingdom has been given to another.
“And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and the One seated on it was called ‘Faithful’ and ‘True,’ and with justice He judges and makes war.” “And the Beast was seized, and with him the False Prophet who performed the signs before him, by which he deceived those who received the Mark of the Beast and those who had worshiped his Image. The two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur.” “In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.” “Whoever has ears, let them hear.”
CBDCs are centralized, tokenized, programmable currency systems that use Digital Ledger Technologies to monitor transactions in real time, so that those in charge can eventually control the population with a Chinese style Social Credit Score System that will be tied to a Social Carbon Sore System that will eventually be centralized into a one world currency system with a one world Social Credit Score system and a one world biometric ID system—an electronic smart tattoo (666), which will monitor you and your transactions in real time. Then everyone can have the latest greatest fad: a real deal biomechanical tattoo! The transhuman zombie apocalypse! CBDCs are a precursor to the Mark of the Beast.

Welcome to the coming cyberpunk era, a dystopian future of moral decay. The global surveillance grid will track everything you do via the biometric chip implanted under your skin. If you refuse to be inoculated against the virus of humanity and to merge yourself with AI, you will be an enemy of the new world state. All such criminals must flee their 15-minute smart cities or risk the death penalty. They will hide in the cyberpunk wastelands around the outskirts of the city.
These videos are shot outside the city where I live. A wildfire burned this area two years ago. The water in this area is the city reservoir. My city has been called Canada’s first “real world 5G smart city,” which “will serve as a blueprint for the development of made-in-Canada 5G smart city technology.” “The United for Smart Sustainable Cities (U4SSC) initiative is a global UN collaboration,” which “serves as an international platform for exchanging knowledge and fostering partnerships to empower cities and communities in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.”
The lyrics of these songs are from the Book of Revelation. They will loosely follow the seal, trumpet, and bowl judgments. Each of the three judgments will have a different style of cyberpunk music. I have made about 60 presets with cyberpunk sounds, and I am currently working on more.
Lyrics:
The first angel reached out his hand
He poured out his bowl upon the land
Painful sores unleashed on man
Those transformed through the Beast scam (transhumanism)
Those who gladly took the Beast Mark
Believed in evil with a bleak heart
Ignited sparks from the deep dark
From the truth they did depart
Revelation 16:2 “So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth. Then ugly and painful sores appeared on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.”

Lyrics:
The seventh angel poured his bowl into the air
It is done, it is finished, said a voice from the throne
Lightning flashes, thunder crashes, earth quaking, earth shaking
The city split into three and the cities of the nations collapsed
So, Babylon the great was remembered and given the cup of God’s wrath
The island’s fled, no mountains were found; hundred pound hailstones fell
Revelation 16:17-21
Biometrics is nothing knew, but one day it will become mandatory. Each person on earth will receive a Universal Biometric ID, which will be tied to all their information. Without your Digital ID you will not be able to use the internet, pay your taxes, open a bank account, get your prescription medicine, or travel. Your ID will be tied to a Social Credit Score System, which will keep track of your Carbon Footprint—your Personal Carbon Allowance. You will be completely tracked and monitored. You will be punished for breaking any of the rules/narratives, so you’ll need to be a good global citizen. What is monitored will be controlled. Weaponized data: they will use your data against you. Biometrics: the road to your digital enslavement. Biometric data surveillance under the skin, the way of the future. Convenience over safety, and safety over freedom.
You are being socially engineered with the use of behavioural and social sciences. They are slowly leading you in the direction they want you to go. So embrace your vaccine passport, your QR code—the first step towards their digital ID ecosystem/prison. They are directing you down a path to a Biometric Microchip ID—the first step into transhumanism. Central Bank Digital Currencies will lead you to the Mark of the Beast.
Plug yourself into the smart-grid, with your smart-chip, tracked in your smart-city, in your smart-home, in your virtual smart-world, enjoying your smart-prison, watched by smart-surveillance, on smart-networks, gathering smart-data, analyzed by smart-AI, using smart-computing. You will love your smart-appliances, smart-electronics, smart-wallets, smart-money, smart-cars, smart-assistants, smart this and smart that, until you are a smart-slave in their smart-prison system—their smart-gulag archipelago. You will bow to the smart-image, of the smart-idol, with your smart-tattoo, known as the smart-mark, given to you by the false prophet, of the false christ, of the false god.
Once you take the Mark of the Beast your conscience will be overridden, and you will be programmed to follow the Beast. Just as Esau sold his birthright, you will sell your conscience—you will sell your soul! Don’t be deceived by satan, or his coming antichrist and false prophet.
“And the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who did mighty miracles on behalf of the beast—miracles that deceived all who had accepted the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue. Both the beast and his false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.”
“I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.”
“For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.”
“And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people.”
“For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”
“Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters.”

“A la primera d’una sèrie prevista de publicacions, s’aplica l’anàlisi biomètric a dos temes controvertits dins de la secció Pseudophrys del gènere Ophrys. Les afinitats d’Ophrys fusca s.s. dels voltants de Lisboa (Portugal) amb les O. lupercalis polinitzades per Andrena nigroaena (O. “nigroaena-fusca”) i amb les plantes polinitzades per Colletes cunicularius de la provincia de Málaga, conegudes fins ara amb el nom de treball O. “colletes-fusca”, han estat llargament qüestionades. Anàlisis biomètrics de les tres entitats indiquen que hi ha tres espècies. Les plantes de Málaga es descriuen com a Ophrys malacitana. En segon lloc, seguint la designació d’un lectotipus per el nom O. forestieri del material original recollit per Forestier a L’Escaladieu als Pirineus francesos, un anàlisi biomètric de les plantes d’aquesta zona amb plantes conegudes com a O. lupercalis del Sud de França i Est d’España, conclou que son una única espècie. El nom O. forestieri té prioritat i el nom O. lupercalis esdevé un sinònim. Adicionalment, poblacions disjuntes del Nord d’España mostren diferències biomètriques florals, que poden indicar un canvi o variació en el polinitzador, mentre que la població de Mallorca és molt similar a la de l’España continental i a la del Sud de França.”

"I think we got him!" shouted García as he waved for the others to stop firing. They weren't expecting much resistance through this entry point, but they were prepared. But so were Ansui.
"Okay go grab Tachisomi and bring him downstairs." Ordered Garcia as he covered the rooftop patio.
"Umm G... I think we have a problem" Said Johnson as he walked back out in the open, swapping positions with Garcia.
"...fuck." muttered Garcia under his breath before clicking on his mic.
"Control - we have a problem, looks like we put one through Target's head, that's a negative on the Biometrics."

Lyrics:
The third seal is opened
A rider on black horse
Famine and scarcity
Starvation and disease
Revelation 6:5-6 “When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, ‘Come!’ And I looked, and behold, a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, ‘A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!’”
We are headed for a global currency reset in which cash will be phased out and replaced with Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). The role of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency will soon come to an end. It will be substituted with a multipolar system of reserve currencies that will be placed under the oversight of the International Monetary Fund. The IMF’s Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) will be expanded to support global trade and investment. This will reduce the dominance of any one country in the global financial system, providing greater stability to the global economy.
Such a system will only last for so long, because it’s a repackaged fiat currency scheme. This system is designed to crash, so that it can be further centralized. In the march towards a one world government (open borders and global citizens), all CBDCs will eventually be consolidated into a centralized One World Digital Currency. The quickest and easiest way to integrate the world’s populace into such a system will be through the introduction of a microchip ID system. Therefore, this new global currency system will be linked to a mandatory system-on-a-chip smart tattoo. A person’s information will be tied to their bio-compatible tattoo. They will be tracked in real time all the time. All their data will be analyzed by AI and stored on the cloud. As a security precaution, piezoelectric biometric nanomachine technology will monitor the inside of each person’s body; this will protect their biometric information from unauthorized access from ever-evolving cyber-based vulnerabilities.
The Bible warns that a day is coming when no one will be able to buy or sell without a mark (stamp of servitude) on their hand or forehead. 666: only transhumans will be allowed to participate in the Beast system. Indeed, the future comes in small packages.

Lyrics:
Pour out your bowl on the sun; it scorched with fire
Torched by the heat, cooked in the fryer
They blasphemed God, Who sent the plagues
Soon they’ll be home, relaxing in their graves
Surrounded by flames, they roam in hades
They never learned, or turned from their ways
Revelation 16:8-9 “Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was permitted to scorch people with fire. Thus people were scorched by the terrible heat, yet they blasphemed the name of God, who has ruling authority over these plagues, and they would not repent and give him glory.”

Lyrics:
Huge star burning, a terrifying sight, falling from the sky
Many people suffer, many people die, they drink the water
A third of the rivers, flowing with tears
A third of the springs, bubbling with pain
Poisoned with wormwood
Revelation 8:10-11 “Then the third angel blew his trumpet, and a huge star burning like a torch fell from the sky; it landed on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. (Now the name of the star is Wormwood.) So a third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from these waters because they were poisoned.”
“Carbon justice for All!” A global carbon tax will play a crucial role in climate reparations! Indeed, tax justice is the right mechanism to deliver climate reparations. Tax justice is a contributor to social(ist) justice, all of which tie into climate justice. “Climate justice is peace!” Climate change is not affecting everyone equally, but it is affecting the poorest countries and the most marginalized communities the most. Nations impoverished by colonialism cannot afford the infrastructure, the health care, or the loans needed to protect their citizens against the climate crisis, much less to invest in renewable energy. Resources were stolen by colonizing nations from countries that are now climate vulnerable. However, tax justice will allow us to rectify this imbalance by redistributing global wealth. It’s the communist way! Tax justice must be instituted to rectify the wealth gap between nations.
Under the United Nations, we will have inclusive international tax governance. The UN must oversee tax justice, climate justice, and human rights. They must set international standards and eliminate financial secrecy. We must have transparency to make a fair global tax, to fight inequality and promote equality. A carbon tax will hold each one accountable. A carbon footprint tracker will take into account emissions, income, wealth, individual carbon footprint caps, and carbon footprint inequality. Climate change is a human rights issue.
The United Nations will tax the green economy. They will tax the digital economy with its digital services to fight climate change. They will implement a financial interaction tax, changing the financial landscape. The global carbon tax will finance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. This tax will contribute to the achievement of sustainable development in three dimensions: economic, social and environmental. This global tax framework will fall under international law and will not be overridden. The United Nations (world government) will tax all countries (satellite states), corporations, and people (global citizens) to fund and promote policies aligned with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
The carbon market of the net-zero economy will be a powerful tool for the advancement of carbon justice. Carbon markets are trading systems in which carbon credits are sold and bought. Each offset credit is equivalent to one ton of carbon dioxide that is either reduced or removed from the atmosphere. The global carbon tax will align with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles, which will significantly reduce emissions, incentivize investments in clean technologies, and generate substantial revenue. This will reduce poverty and inequality while enhancing societal wellbeing. Climate justice means putting equity and human rights at the core of decision-making and action on climate change. We will not tolerate any carbon leakage (cheating). The United Nations has declared that access to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment is a universal human right.
The revenues from carbon taxes will be used for green infrastructure and low-carbon technology development. It will ensure a just transition, which will steer all society towards a net-zero future. This will achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. A just transition doesn’t just help advance climate action, but it also helps advance the Sustainable Development Goals. The core purpose of a carbon tax is to shift the market towards less carbon-intensive fuels, energy efficiency, and clean alternatives. This will affect all sectors, including electricity, transportation, and manufacturing. Essentially, there will be a ban on carbon-intensive activities (such as a ban on coal-fired power stations). That is why you will own nothing and be happy. That is why you won’t drive or leave your 15-minute city. Just like Nova Scotia, you will be banned from the forest. Climate lockdowns! Don’t leave your house! Decarbonizing the planet is a systems-based circular (problem, reaction, solution) approach (dialectic) rooted in social(ist) justice principles. Decarbonization means decarbonizing you.
The future is headed towards carbon taxes, digital biometric IDs, central bank digital currencies, and social credit scores. Like every socialist state, a leader arises. Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, a future leader will rise up. The world will bow to the Antichrist! And the Antichrist will implement a digital Mark, which will be your global digital biometric ID. This Mark will be tied to a one-world digital currency and a one-world social credit score system. This Beast system will also track your carbon footprint. Then you’ll see what it’s like to serve the Antichrist. He will suck the life out of you, he will decarbonize you! BTW: this message is brought to you by the World Health Organization! Hahaha!
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Welcome to the coming cyberpunk era, a dystopian future of moral decay. The global surveillance grid will track everything you do via the biometric chip implanted under your skin. If you refuse to be inoculated against the virus of humanity and to merge yourself with AI, you will be an enemy of the new world state. All such criminals must flee their 15-minute smart cities or risk the death penalty. They will hide in the cyberpunk wastelands around the outskirts of the city.

Lyrics:
The First seal is opened
A rider on a white horse
Bringing peace and safety
But he is the antichrist
Revelation 6:1-2 “Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, ‘Come!’ And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.”
Historical research reveals that diverse political rationalities have framed the political means and objectives of state frontiers and borders, just as the difficult work of making borders actual has drawn upon a great variety of technologies
The single word ”border” conceals a multiplicity and implies a constancy where genealogical investigation uncovers mutation and descent. Historical research reveals that diverse political rationalities have framed the political means and objectives of state frontiers and borders, just as the difficult work of making borders actual has drawn upon a great variety of technologies and heterogeneous administrative practices, ranging from maps of the territory, the creation of specialized border officials, and architectures of fortification to today’s experimentation with bio- digitalized forms of surveillance. This chapter argues that we are witnessing a novel development within this history of borders and border-making, what I want to call the emergence of the humanitarian border. While a great deal has been written about the militarization, securitization and fortification of borders today, there is far less consideration of the humanitarianization of borders. But if the investment of border regimes by biometric technologies rightly warrants being treated as an event within the history of the making and remaking of borders (Amoore 2006), then arguably so too does the reinvention of the border as a space of humanitarian government.
Under what conditions are we seeing the rise of humanitarian borders? The emergence of the humanitarian border goes hand in hand with the move which has made state frontiers into privileged symbolic and regulatory instruments within strategies of migration control. It is part of a much wider trend that has been dubbed the ”rebordering” of political and territorial space (Andreas and Biersteker 2003). The humanitarian border emerges once it becomes established that border crossing has become, for thousands of migrants seeking, for a variety of reasons, to access the territories of the global North, a matter of life and death. It crystallizes as a way of governing this novel and disturbing situation,and compensating for the social violence embodied in the regime of migration control.The idea of a humanitarian border might sound at first counterintuitive or even oxymoronic. After all, we often think of contemporary humanitarianism as a force that, operating in the name of the universal but endangered subject of humanity, transcends the walled space of the inter-national system. This is, of course, quite valid. Yet it would be a mistake to draw any simple equation between humanitarian projects and what Deleuze and Guattari would call logics of deterritoralization. While humanitarian programmes might unsettle certain norms of statehood, it is important to recognize the ways in which the exercise of humanitarian power is connected to the actualization of new spaces. Whether by its redefinition of certain locales as humanitarian ”zones” and crises as ”emergencies” (Calhoun 2004), the authority it confers on certain experts to move rapidly across networks of aid and intervention, or its will to designate those populating these zones as ”victims,” it seems justified to follow Debrix’s (1998) observation that humanitarianism implies reterritorialization on top of deterritorialization. Humanitarian zones can materialize in various situations – in conflict zones, amidst the relief of famine, and against the backdrop of state failure. But the case that interests me in what follows is a specific one: a situation where the actual borders of states and gateways to the territory become themselves zones of humanitarian government. Understanding the consequences of this is paramount, since it has an important bearing on what is often termed the securitization of borders and citizenship.
Foucault and Frontiers
It is probably fair to say that the theme of frontiers is largely absent from the two courses that are today read together as Foucault’s lectures on ”governmentality” (Foucault 1991; 2007; 2008). This is not to suggest that frontiers receive no mention at all. Within these lectures we certainly encounter passing remarks on the theme. For instance, Foucault speaks at one point of ”the administrative state, born in the territoriality of national boundaries in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and corresponding to a society of regulation and discipline” (Foucault 1991: 104).1 Elsewhere, he notes how the calculation and demarcation of new frontiers served as one of the practical elements of military-diplomatic technology, a machine he associates with the government of Europe in the image of a balance of power and according to the governmental logic of raison d’état. ”When the diplomats, the ambassadors who negotiated the treaty of Westphalia, received instructions from their government, they were explicitly advised to ensure that the new frontiers, the distribution of states, the new relationships to be established between the German states and the Empire, and the zones of influence of France, Sweden, and Austria be established in terms of a principle: to maintain a balance between the different European states” (Foucault 2007: 297).
But these are only hints of what significance the question of frontiers might have within the different technologies of power which Foucault sought to analyze. They are only fragmentary reflections on the place borders and frontiers might occupy within the genealogy of the modern state which Foucault outlines with his research into governmentality.2
Why was Foucault apparently not particularly interested in borders when he composed these lectures? One possible answer is suggested by Elden’s careful and important work on power-knowledge and territory. Elden takes issue with Foucault for the way in which he discusses territorial rule largely as a foil which allows him to provide a more fully-worked out account of governmentality and its administration of population. Despite the fact that the term appears prominently in the title of Foucault’s lectures, ”the issue of territory continually emerges only to be repeatedly marginalized, eclipsed, and underplayed” (Elden 2007: 1). Because Foucault fails to reckon more fully with the many ways in which the production of territory – and most crucially its demarcation by practices of frontier marking and control – serves as a precondition for the government of population, it is not surprising that the question of frontiers occupies little space in his narrative.But there is another explanation for the relative absence of questions of frontiers in Foucault’s writing on governmentality. And here we have to acknowledge that, framed as it is previously, this is a problematic question. For it risks the kind of retrospective fallacy which projects a set of very contemporary issues and concerns onto Foucault’s time. It is probably fair to speculate that frontiers and border security was not a political issue during the 1970s in the way that it is today in many western states. ”Borders” had yet to be constituted as a sort of meta-issue, capable of condensing a whole complex of political fears and concerns, including globalization, the loss of sovereignty, terrorism, trafficking and unchecked immigration. The question of the welfare state certainly was an issue, perhaps even a meta-issue, when Foucault was lecturing, and it is perhaps not coincidental that he should devote so much space to the examination of pastoralism. But not the border. The point is not to suggest that Foucault’s work evolved in close,
Humanitarian Government
Before I address the question of the humanitarian border, it is necessary to explain what I understand by the humanitarian. Here my thinking has been shaped by recent work that engages the humanitarian not as a set of ideas and ideologies, nor simply as the activity of certain nongovernmental actors and organizations, but as a complex domain possessing specific forms of governmental reason. Fassin’s work on this theme is particularly important. Fassin demonstrates that humanitarianism can be fruitfully connected to the broader field of government which Foucault outlined, where government is not a necessary attribute of states but a rationalized activity than can be carried out by all sorts of agents, in various contexts, and towards multiple ends. At its core, ”Humanitarian government can be defined as the administration of human collectivities in the name of a higher moral principle which sees the preservation of life and the alleviation of suffering as the highest value of action” (Fassin 2007: 151). As he goes on to stress, the value of such a definition is that we do not see a particular state, or a non-state form such as a nongovernmental organization, as the necessary agent of humanitarian action. Instead, it becomes possible to think in terms of a complex assemblage, comprising particular forms of humanitarian.reason, specific forms of authority (medical, legal, spiritual) but also certain technologies of government – such as mechanisms for raising funds and training volunteers, administering aid and shelter, documenting injustice, and publicizing abuse. Seen from this angle humanitarianism appears as a much more supple, protean thing. Crucially, it opens up our ability to perceive ”a broader political and moral logic at work both within and outside state forms” (ibid.).
If the humanitarian can be situated in relation to the analytics of government, it can also be contextualized in relation to the biopolitical. ”Not only did the last century see the emergence of regimes committed to the physical destruction of populations,” observes Redfield, ”but also of entities devoted to monitoring and assisting populations in maintaining their physical existence, even while protesting the necessity of such an action and the failure of anyone to do much more than this bare minimum” (2005: 329). It is this ”minimalist biopolitics,” as Redfield puts it, that will be so characteristic of the humanitarian. And here the accent should be placed on the adjective “minimalist” if we are not to commit the kind of move which I criticized above, namely collapsing everything new into existing Foucauldian categories. It is important to regard contemporary humanitarianism as a novel formation and a site of ambivalence and undecideability, and not just as one more instance of what Hardt and Negri (2000) might call global “biopolitical production.”The Birth of the Humanitarian Border
In a press release issued on June 29, 2007, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) publicized a visit which its then Director General, Brunson McKinley, was about to make to a ”reception centre for migrants” on the Mediterranean island of Lampedusa (IOM 2007). The Director General is quoted as saying: ”Many more boats will probably arrive on Lampedusa over the summer with their desperate human cargo and we have to ensure we can adequately respond to their immediate needs.... This is why IOM will continue to work closely with the Italian government, the Italian Red Cross, UNHCR and other partners to provide appropriate humanitarian responses to irregular migrants and asylum seekers reaching the island.”
The same press release observes that IOM’s work with its ”partners” was part of a wider effort to improve the administration of the ”reception” (the word ”detention” is conspicuously absent) and ”repatriation” of ”irregular migrants” in Italy. Reception centers were being expanded, and problems of overcrowding alleviated. The statement goes on to observe that IOM had opened its office on Lampedusa in April 2006. Since that time ”Forced returns from Lampedusa [had] stopped.”
Lampedusa is a small Italian island located some 200 km south of Sicily and 300 km to the north of Libya. Its geographical location provides a clue as to how it is that in 2004 this Italian outpost first entered the spotlight of European and even world public attention, becoming a potent signifier for anxieties about an international migration crisis (Andrijasevic 2006). For it was then that this Italian holiday destination became the main point of arrival for boats carrying migrants from Libya to Italy. That year more than 10,000 migrants are reported to have passed through the ”temporary stay and assistance centre” (CPTA) the Italian state maintains on the island. The vast majority had arrived in overcrowded, makeshift boats after a perilous sea journey lasting up to several weeks. Usually these boats
are intercepted in Italian waters by the Italian border guards and the migrants transferred to the holding center on the island. Following detention, which can last for more than a month, they are either transferred to other CPTAs in Sicily and southern Italy, or expelled to Libya.Finally, there is a point to be made about humanitarianism, power and order. Those looking to locate contemporary humanitarianism within a bigger picture would perhaps follow the lead of Hardt and Negri. As these theorists of ”Empire” see things, NGOs like Amnesty International and Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) are, contrary to their own best intentions, implicated in global order. As agents of ”moral intervention” who, because they participate in the construction of emergency, ”prefigure the state of exception from below,” these actors serve as the preeminent ”frontline force of imperial intervention.” As such, Hardt and Negri see humanitarianism as ”completely immersed in the biopolitical context of the constitution of Empire” (Hardt and Negri 2000: 36).Humanitarianism, Borders, Politics
Foucauldian writing about borders has mirrored the wider field of governmentality studies in at least one respect. While it has produced some fascinating and insightful accounts of contemporary strategies and technologies of border-making and border policing, it has tended to confine its attention to official and often state-sanctioned projects. Political dynamics and political acts have certainly not been ignored. But little attention has been paid to the possibility that politics and resistance operate not just in an extrinsic relationship to contemporary regimes, but within them.12 To date this literature has largely failed to view politics as something constitutive and productive of border regimes and technologies. That is to say, there is little appreciation of the ways in which movements of opposition, and those particular kinds of resistance which Foucault calls ”counter conduct,” can operate not externally to modes of bordering but by means of ”a series of exchanges” and ”reciprocal supports” (Foucault 2007: 355).
There is a certain paradox involved when we speak of Foucault and frontiers. In certain key respects it could be said that Foucault is one of our most eminent and original theorists of bordering. For at the heart of one of his most widely read works – namely Discipline and Punish – what does one
find if not the question of power and how its modalities should be studied by focusing on practices of partitionment, segmentation, division, enclosure; practices that will underpin the ordering and policing of ever more aspects of the life of populations from the nineteenth century onwards. But while Foucault is interested in a range of practices which clearly pertain to the question of bordering understood in a somewhat general sense, one thing the reading of his lectures on security, governmentality and biopolitics reveals is that he had little to say explicitly about the specific forms of bordering associated with the government of the state. To put it differently, Foucault dealt at length with what we might call the microphysics of bordering, but much less with the place of borders considered at the level of tactics and strategies of governmentality.Recent literature has begun to address this imbalance, demonstrating that many of Foucault’s concepts are useful and important for understanding what kinds of power relations and governmental regimes are at stake in contemporary projects which are re-making state borders amidst renewed political concerns over things like terrorism and illegal immigration. However, the overarching theme of this chapter has been the need for caution when linking Foucault’s concepts to the study of borders and frontiers today. While analytics like biopolitics, discipline and neoliberalism offer all manner of insights, we need to avoid the trap which sees Foucault’s toolbox as something ready-made for any given situation. The challenge of understanding the emergent requires the development of new theoretical tools, not to mention the sharpening of older, well-used implements. With this end in mind the chapter has proposed the idea of the humanitarian border as a way of registering an event within the genealogy of the frontier, but also, although I have not developed it here, within the genealogy of citizenship.
What I have presented previously is only a very cursory overview of certain features of the humanitarianization of borders, most notably its inscription within regimes of knowledge, and its constitutive relationship to politics. In future research it would be interesting to undertake a fuller mapping of the humanitarian border in relation to certain trajectories of government. While we saw how themes of biopolitical and neoliberal government are pertinent in understanding the contemporary management of spaces like the detention center, it would seem especially relevant to consider the salience of pastoralism. Pastoral power has received far less attention within studies of governmentality than, say, discipline or liberal government (but see Dean 1999; Golder 2007; Hindess 1996; Lippert 2004). But here again, I suspect, it will be important to revise our concepts in the light of emergent practices and rationalities. For the ways in which NGOs and humanitarians engage in the governance of migrants and refugees today have changed quite significantly from the kinds of networks of care, self-examination and salvation which Foucault identified with pastoralism. For instance, and to take but one example, the pastoral care of migrants, whether in situations of sanctuary or detention, is not organized as a life-encompassing, permanent activity as it was for the church, or later, in a secular version, the welfare state. Instead, it is a temporary and ad hoc intervention. Just as Foucault’s notion of neo-liberalism was intended to register important transformations within the genealogy of liberal government, it may prove useful to think in terms of the neo-pastoral when we try to make better sense of the phenomenon of humanitarian government at/of borders, and of many other situations as well.

The seventh seal
Silence in heaven
Smoke of incense
Prayers of the saints
Revelation 8:1-5 “When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven trumpets. Then another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, along with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, rose up before God from the hand of the angel. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it to the earth; and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.”

PHYSICAL DESCRPTION:
Black-winged Stilt (Pied Stilt)
is a black and white shorebird, perched on very long and fine pink legs, giving the bird an elegant gait.
The adult male in breeding plumage has black and white plumage with all-black wings and upper back with greenish iridescence.
Underparts are white, sometimes with pale pinkish wash on the breast.
Head shows white face and forehead, and black top of the crown. Eyes are red. The long, thin bill is black and straight. Very long legs and feet are reddish-pink.
The female in breeding plumage is almost similar but more brownish on the upperparts with sometimes greyish wash on nape and rear neck.
In winter plumage, both are similar to the breeding female but duller, with variable grey wash on head and rear neck.
The juvenile is paler than adult, with washed grey-brown crown and rear neck. The brownish upperparts show narrow pale buff fringes, and legs are duller.
VOICE:
The Black-winged Stilt’s calls are a sharp “kek” and a barking “ke-yak”. Alarm call is a monotonous, high-pitched “kik-kik-kik-kik-kik-kik”.
They are noisy on their breeding areas.
HABITAT:
The Black-winged Stilt lives mainly in freshwater and saltwater marshes and mudflats, shallow lakes, coastal lagoons, flooded fields and rice fields.
RANGE:
The Black-winged Stilt has wide range. We can find it in Australia, Central and South America, Africa, Asia, parts of North America, Eurasia, Hawaii and Philippines.
BEHAVIOUR:
The Black-winged Stilt feeds in shallow water, wading and catching preys on or near the surface. But sometimes, it plunges the head under the surface to capture some aquatic invertebrate. It picks up its food from sand or water.
Its very long legs allow it to walk in deeper water than other waders. This bird rarely swims for food. The Black-winged Stilt is an active forager, and it can employ several methods to catch prey.
This species is well adapted to nocturnal vision, which allows them to feed on windy, moonless nights. Stilts walk quickly, with long strides, wading into water.
The Black-winged Stilt is a migratory bird, moving to the ocean coasts in winter. European birds winter in sub-Saharan Africa. They are often seen in flocks of 10 to 20 birds, and also in mixed flocks with other species of shorebirds.
The Black-winged Stilt nests in small colonies of 2 to 50 pairs, and mated pairs defend vigorously their nest site and territory. They may nest in mixed groups with avocets.
They are gregarious and may feed in large flocks of several thousands birds. When alarmed, the birds often bob their head.
FLIGHT:
The Black-winged Stilt has rapid direct flight, with steady wing-beats. Legs are projected behind the tail of up to 20 cm, and neck is slightly held.

Lyrics:
Then the sixth angel stepped forward; he poured out his bowl on the river Euphrates
And the great waters dried up, preparing the way for the kings of the east
Then I saw three demons come out of the mouths of the dragon, beast, and prophet
And they gathered the armies of the earth for the battle at the place called Armageddon
Then the sixth angel came forward, and he poured out his bowl on the river Euphrates
And the great waters dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the east
Then I saw three demons come out of the mouths of the dragon, beast, and prophet
And they gathered the armies of the earth for the battle called Armageddon
Revelation 16:12-16 “Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates and dried up its water to prepare the way for the kings from the east. Then I saw three unclean spirits that looked like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of the demons performing signs who go out to the kings of the earth to bring them together for the battle that will take place on the great day of God, the All-Powerful. (Look! I will come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays alert and does not lose his clothes so that he will not have to walk around naked and his shameful condition be seen.) Now the spirits gathered the kings and their armies to the place that is called Armageddon in Hebrew.”
