The 1st week of September the CN and the BNSF did joint PTC interoperability testing on the Aurora Sub. The train consisted of BNSF and CN management and crews, plus both road's power. The testing went on from CN's Dubuque Yard to Galena, running via the BNSF Aurora Sub from East Dubuque to Portage, distance of 12 miles. The testing was done to allow for each railroad's PTC information to be passed along as trains pass from one railroad to another, or used when each other's units are used as a lead motor. This will allow for smoother transition between railroads on run thru power or trains. Here the train is stopped at East Dubuque waiting on river traffic.

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.”

Bill Gates: “The world today has 6.8 billion people—that’s headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.”
