For some of us, standing up for ourselves doesn’t come naturally; this can be seen by what has occurred in the last two years of this pandemic. For some, going against what your government tells you might feel impossible. Maybe you’re someone who doesn’t like to “rock the boat” so you swallow any opposing thoughts or feelings to avoid confrontation. Maybe you are a new immigrant, and you feel if you speak up, the government will send you right back to the place you so desperately tried to escape.

Standing up for ourselves is about having boundaries, and importantly, knowing how to assert them. At this point in the game, we cannot allow life to just happen. Allowing life to just happen has given the government power to tell us how to live our lives, who we can speak to, and what we are allowed to do to our bodies.

It is unfortunate, but many of us have left ourselves wide open to being taken advantage of, and today, I am going to share with you thirteen ways to actively stop the roll out of the Vaccine ID Passports.

I found the original twenty-two suggestions on the Mission Possible World Health International (www.mpwhi.com) website. It was founded by Dr Betty Martini, D. Hum and is headquartered in Duluth, Georgia. Dr Betty has been openly speaking out against vaccines, the use of aspartame, and other diabolical substances that have been unleashed on the people of the world. Her goal is to empower citizens in nations all over the world, to take a stand now, before it is too late.

Without further adieu, let us take a look at some of the stances presented on the list:

Do not be coerced, bribed, blackmailed, shamed, manipulated, or intimidated into complying. Civil disobedience is necessary. Businesses and patrons need to rally together to defy this tyranny.

Vaccine ID Passports, digital identities being pushed by banks, license facilities, and other industries should be avoided at all cost.

Educate yourself, family and friends about what this QR code and digital identity is really about. The plan is to put all of us on the Blockchain to survey and control our every move.

Get the Law Involved. While tyrannical governors and mayors may try to

make illogical and illegal demands on business owners and patrons, including fines in some cases, the sheriff has the power to choose to not enforce it. Many of them do not understand the full power that they have and policies they can put in place.

Bringing this information to the attention of your legislatures and demanding legislation to block vaccine id passports and digital identity applications is critical.

Remove your money from the large banks into smaller, family-owned banks and small credit unions. If 10% of people did this, it would create a huge shift.

Build your own family or community energy and food systems. Resilient energy and food supplies will go a long way against their digital financial blackmailing systems.

Stop feeding the beast; do not spend money at Amazon and big box stores that are building the infrastructure to enslave humanity. When you hurt their bottom line, they are more apt to reverse their demands for employees and patrons.

CASH IS KING. Use cash as often as possible, to avoid the hyper-tracking taking place inside bank accounts that are aggregating your data and building your social and climate score, as well as studying spending behaviors of the masses to manipulate industries, supply chains, and markets.

Leave your phones at home. Don’t download any data tracking apps, and if you still have a smartphone be sure to stay on top of what data mining apps they are installing into your phone without you even knowing.

Limit personal data you provide online, in paper forms, and other sources trying to collect data points on you.

Clear as many debts as you are able to, so you are beholden to no one.

Invest in people, learning trade skills, family and community, hard assets, proper schooling for your children which might mean a local home-school network, local farmers, any necessary supplies or equipment you feel you need, your health and peace of mind.

Visualize a better future for all, where these corrupt individuals are stopped in their tracks, and pray.

There is a way to put an end to this; we just have to take a stand. Are you ready?

The phrase “Google it” has become a commonplace in our everyday lexicon, highlighting the internet’s insidious integration into modern life. While the internet has long been associated with a multitude of uses, it’s worth noting that men are increasingly venturing beyond the realm of pornography, utilizing the vast expanse of the web for a broader spectrum of interests and pursuits. What are they searching for then?

Men are increasingly turning to Google for answers about their health. In fact, the most Googled question about men’s health in 2024 is “What causes hair loss in men?” With 2.49 million searches this year alone. Ben’s Natural Health recently analyzed the most trending health questions that men are searching on Google. The results show a strong focus on hormonal health and wellness, with topics like low testosterone and low sex drive collectively drawing more than 2.9 million search interest. The study focused on men’s health, filtering out relevant questions and ranking them based on search frequency.

Here are the 10 top-trending health questions that had men Googling in 2024:

What causes hair loss in men? 2,491,930 average monthly searches

Hair loss is a top concern for men, with over 2.4 million monthly Google searches. Hair loss, particularly male pattern baldness, is a significant concern for many men due to its impact on self-esteem and perceived attractiveness. It can lead to feelings of insecurity, lower self-confidence, and even social anxiety. While baldness is a natural part of aging for many men, it can be a source of stress and emotional distress.

What causes low testosterone in men? 2,034,460 average monthly searches

Millions of men are searching for answers to low testosterone, with over two million monthly Google searches. Low testosterone levels, also known as hypogonadism, can lead to a range of symptoms, including decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, reduced muscle mass, and mood changes.

What causes blood in urine in men? 1,212,430 average monthly searches

With 1,212,430 searches, this issue is understandably worrisome for many. If you notice blood in your urine, it’s essential to consult a doctor to rule out causes like infections or kidney stones.

What are the symptoms of HIV in men? 1,203,140 average monthly searches

This one I found pretty interesting. This query had 1,203,140 searches, indicating significant concern about HIV symptoms. While early symptoms can resemble the flu, many individuals may not show symptoms for years. This is probably where all the worry is coming from.

What causes high testosterone in men? 655,150 average monthly searches

This query saw 655,150 searches in 2023. High testosterone levels can result from steroid use or other health conditions. Symptoms may include aggression, acne, and infertility, and long-term complications can include heart problems. It is managed through treating underlying conditions, discontinuing steroids, or using hormone therapy.

What causes low sex drive in men? 475,960 average monthly searches

With 475,960 searches, many men are interested in understanding this issue. Causes of low libido can range from psychological factors like stress and depression to physical issues such as low testosterone or side effects of medications. Addressing low sex drive often involves stress reduction, treating low testosterone, or discussing medication side effects with a healthcare provider.

What causes infertility in men? 449,100 average monthly searches

This question had 449,100 searches. Infertility in men is often caused by low sperm count, poor sperm movement, or issues like hormonal imbalances. Fertility treatments, or simple lifestyle changes (eating healthier, becoming more active can help improve the chances of having a baby.

What causes night sweats in men? 409,760 average monthly searches

This issue had 409,760 searches. Yes! That is right ladies. Men have hot flashes too. It is not just us. Potential causes include infections, or hormonal changes.

What causes back pain in men? 377,050 average monthly searches

Searched 377,050 times, back pain may be caused by poor posture, muscle strain, or chronic conditions like arthritis. Let’s be real; we are all getting older, so that pain could just be good old age.

What causes high estrogen in men? 374,250 average monthly searches

This query was searched 374,250 times. High estrogen levels may lead to symptoms like fatigue or mood swings, and is often related to obesity, or liver conditions. Excess body fat, particularly around the waist, can convert testosterone into estrogen, and as men age, their testosterone levels naturally decline, while estrogen levels may remain relatively stable, leading to a relative increase in estrogen compared to testosterone.

It appears that men seem to have a lot of questions, and asking Google seems to be the go-to place for answers. Like with anything else, I advise that when you are searching for answers, check a few sources, and always take some time to go in and see your family doctor. It could be the difference between life and death.

As men denied women’s rights, women can deny themselves to men

A strategy placing women out front and personal with those who deny their full rights and expectations.

The first stage will go something like this folks. Women will unite together with a universal message that is clear and understandable even for men. Equality is a Human Right – A Sexual Right – A Socio-Political Necessity.

Through: public marches, protests and mass gatherings women will voice their displeasure on how they have been treated in the past, the present and how they fear for themselves and generations to come. Fear that the future has little to offer the girl of the next generation. Mass education schemes will be devised and presented to all people in all nations: rich, or poor, White or non-White, to all genders alike.

The second stage will be initiated if men and their female allies do not respond to the above propaganda messages demanding: equal rights, equal pay for similar jobs performed, full educational opportunities no matter the nation, race, or creed.

A full strike will be had in which all women will withhold their sexuality and affections from their partners, mostly men. The length of this strike and its nature in reality will depend upon the women’s culture and political circumstance. Full denial may be expressed in such a way as men will be denied the following:

No intimacy, no sexual contact with a woman
Usual housework will be curtailed and fall upon men
The care of children will fall to their male parents and guardians

The LGBTQ community will be asked to fully support this strike as partners in the struggle for human and women’s rights advocates.

Should this strike be met with a partner, or legislative aggression a third stage will be initiated. Should men not respond favorably to the above-mentioned stages of women’s struggle to be free of male dominance and control: financially, economically, culturally, socially and politically this third extreme stage will be initiated.

All women will take religious orders, pledging themselves to their deity through the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. This action will threaten the very future of humanity. Through the vow of chastity all women will be faithful to their deity by not having sex. The future of the human race will be threatened by this action.

Could men be so ignorant and self-centered as to not realize that by their historic actions women have been oppressed, sexually and financially used, denied of their constitutionally promised rights and established as second class citizens in most nations globally?

Women must take up the mantle offered to them by: Gandhi, Dr. King, Jesus, and many other men who recognized the importance of womanhood. Women globally have only one ability, one tool of change available to them…to deny men. As men denied the rights they have to women, women can deny themselves to these same men.

Martin Luther King Jr once said, “a right delayed is a right denied”. Women have delayed taking action against the historic, cultural manly oppression they have experienced since time immemorial. The world exists in division, poverty and extreme financial distress. Women can offer motherly comfort and care in a world like ours needs. Men have messed up our historic pathway towards peace and unity. Give women a chance.

On Saturday, November 9^th, 2024, the Citizens for Advancement of Community Development (CACD) hosted a memorable and inspiring Excellence Gala at the Mississauga Convention Centre. The event brought together a diverse audience, including former politicians, civic and community leaders, business professionals, and distinguished guests from across the Black, African, Caribbean, and broader Canadian communities. The evening was filled with moments of empowerment, celebration, and meaningful interactions as attendees engaged, networked, and reflected on shared histories and collective futures.

In a press release issued on October 16^th, 2024, CACD described the Excellence Gala as “the highlight of the year,” emphasizing that the event would not only be a celebration but also a powerful platform for social justice and equity. The theme of the evening, “Ubuntu”—meaning “I am because we are”—captured the essence of the gathering: together we honor the past, celebrate the present, and champion a future rooted in recognition, justice, and development for people of African descent. The gala also served as a moment of reflection and action for a more equitable future, coinciding with the ongoing International Decade for People of African Descent, a global initiative extended by the Government of Canada.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in a message featured in the gala’s program, praised the event as a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the rich diversity and culture of African Canadians. He also acknowledged the many contributions that Canadians of African descent continue to make in all areas of society. “This event highlights the richness and diversity of African culture,” he stated, “and celebrates the invaluable role that African Canadians play in shaping our nation.”

The Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, Edith Dumont, also expressed her support, noting, “Events like this remind us of all the great work being done to ensure that every individual has the chance to succeed and be valued. By addressing challenges around equity and access, we move closer to creating a society where all voices are heard, and everyone can thrive. The efforts of CACD are crucial in advancing these goals, and I commend their dedication to fostering positive change and growth within our communities.”

The evening’s entertainment was nothing short of spectacular. Master of Ceremonies Chris Hayles kicked off the evening with a captivating performance of the iconic Candy Man, invoking memories of the legendary Sammy Davis Jr. The talented Liberty Silver then took the stage with a vibrant jazz performance, blending genres like R&B and reggae, engaging the audience in a way that was both energetic and deeply personal.

A highlight of the evening was the fashion show featuring stunning African and Caribbean-inspired designs by Stephanie Olurunfemi, CEO of Ninies, one of Canada’s leading fashion influencers. The show celebrated the beauty and diversity of cultural attire, showcasing the richness of African and Caribbean heritage. Another special moment was a moving performance by the Heritage Singers, founded by Grace Carter-Henry Lyon in 1997, who performed a selection of Jamaican folk songs that resonated deeply with the Jamaican community in the audience.

The evening’s keynote address was delivered by Greg Fergus, Canada’s first Black Speaker of the House of Commons, appointed in October 2023. Fergus’s speech was both inspirational and motivational, touching on themes of leadership, resilience, and the importance of building an inclusive future for all Canadians. He shared powerful quotes that left a lasting impact on the audience, including: “Let’s do what we can with what we have,” “If you try something, you might succeed,” and “Let’s build a Canada that, in 50 years, our kids will look back on with pride.”

The gala also honored several outstanding individuals and organizations for their contributions to their respective fields. The recipients of this year’s prestigious awards included:

Distinguished Public Service Award: Hon. Dr. Alvin Curling, Former Speaker of the Ontario Legislature and Canadian Ambassador to Haiti, recognized for his leadership and dedication to public service.
Lifetime Achievement Award: Dr. Jean Augustine, the first Black female Member of Parliament and a tireless advocate for the recognition of Black History Month.
Entrepreneurial Excellence Award: Mrs. Pauline Christian, CEO of EFCCC and founder of MLKConnexus, recognized for her entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to business excellence.
Community Leadership Award: Mrs. Harriett Thornhill, a senior leader at RBC and Chancellor of Tyndale University, acknowledged for her outstanding leadership and community engagement.
Media and Communications Award: Afroglobal Television, a premier channel celebrating African heritage and diasporic programming.
Outstanding Service and Leadership Award: Mr. Wesley McKenzie, a social justice advocate who empowers marginalized communities.
Ally of the Year Award: Dr. Sam Lanfranco, for his support of international development initiatives bridging communities in Canada and Tanzania.
Solidarity Award: David Walsh, a real estate investor with a deep commitment to urban planning and community development.
Community Partnership Award: Russell Pooley, Community Development Coordinator with the City of Mississauga, recognized for his work with the Carassauga Festival and Peel Multicultural Council.
Philanthropy Award: RBC Foundation, recognized for its generous support of education, health, arts, and sustainability initiatives.

A particularly moving moment of the evening came when Mrs. Sona Cunningham, a founding member of CACD and the wife of Ron Cunningham, was recognized for her unwavering dedication and support of CACD’s mission over the years. This heartfelt recognition underscored the importance of community-building and the lasting impact of individual contributions.

The Excellence Gala was not just a celebration but a call to action—an evening that inspired attendees to continue the important work of advancing equity, justice, and opportunity for all people of African descent in Canada and beyond. As the evening ended, the collective spirit of Ubuntu remained, a reminder that together, we are stronger and can build a brighter, more inclusive future.
