Losing Control – Maintaining power and wealth in the hands of the few
BY PASTOR AL MILLER
Freedom… is only possible by constantly struggling for it! (Albert Einstein)
History is replete with men, who in their lust for power and driven by greed have devised amazing schemes to enslave their fellow men. Many have in that quest, developed regimes and alliances that have outlived them and become in some instances, dynasties of enslavement that have lasted for generations. Some are still with us today. Many of our fierce wars and battles of recent recorded history are the result of these regimes and alliances.
A validating example of this premise is the journey of our forefathers from the continent of Africa, through the middle passage, depositing them in what is now called the western world; the Caribbean and the Americas (north and south). They struggled with hard labour, blood, sweat and tears to attain the freedoms we enjoy today. They paid a great price. Freedom should therefore be our most prized possession! It should never be surrendered but passed on as a precious gift to our children and our generations to come.
Even our religious experience validates the premise. The God of the universe gave His Son, Yeshua (Jesus), to pay the ultimate price to bring true and total freedom to mankind everywhere. Freedom even in spiritual things has come at a great price; hence we must treasure it!
Many of us have seen, through the media, the pressure, injustice and pain, suffered by people around the world still enslaved by evil regimes. A few of us have witnessed it first-hand through interaction with citizens of these nations.
We who have tasted freedom have no desire for anything else. Hence, we protect and cherish our freedom and do not take lightly any attempt to rob us of our freedom. We, the children of slaves, are very sensitive to any shadow of possible entrapment under the guise of development or global advancement, as we do not desire to be in bondage again to any. Who the cap fit, be warned!
Those in our generation consumed by lust for power, control and greed are conscious of this sensitivity and will attempt more subtle ways to gain the objectives of their nefarious intentions. They often subscribe to a philosophy that ‘the end justifies the means, so anything goes. They will put bait and expect us to bite it slowly or warm us in cold water in order to dull our sense of flight, like the proverbial story of the frog who doesn’t jump out of a pot of boiling water because it gradually heated up and he adjusted to each temperature change.
We can see some aspects of globalization; change of monetary system to cashless indicating that it is for security measures; the need for identification in order to resist terrorism and also better for disease control. These excuses are all about maintaining power and wealth in the hands of the few, for the control of the many.
The favoured tool of evil men to gain control and oppress people has always been and continue to be FEAR enveloped in lies and deception. We are familiar with that successful tactic.
Fear has for decades trapped our nation by garrisons, dons, gangs, and guns. The trained eye, historians, wise minds and spiritually sensitive, know that the sign of fear-induced actions on society is the indicator that something sinister, with the aim of control, is coming. The pattern has been consistent from the beginning with the fall of man in Genesis. You will be controlled by whatever or whomever you fear unless you overcome it.
COVID-19 has gripped the world in intense and prolonged fear. The question has to be asked; is it by man’s design, by chance or by God?
I can tell you, it is not His modus operandi. If it is not God and it is clearly too structured to be chance, then it is the work of men with a clear intent. Regardless of the who or what behind it, once fear is driving it, evil men will always follow behind it to use it. Fear is never the problem; it is what is behind it.
The ‘what’ always has a defined ‘who’, the originators who designed it for their desired outcomes. Simple examples are crime rings, such as the mafia and drug cartels we see internationally. In our local history, the political ideology that led to political tribalism, which produced garrisons that have now morphed into a donmanship culture, increasing gangs and all types of nefarious activities. There is always a defined force behind fear.
When you carefully examine COVID-19 and its development, if it is not by design in its origins but chance, then at minimum some forces have decided to use it to advance their agenda. It is clear that careful thought and abundant resources have been engaged in a process to control people; driven by media hype, systems control and manipulation of processes. It is made obvious by the efforts to shut down and shut out any other voices, views, or opinions that do not conform to the projected narrative.
Notwithstanding who is behind it, the thing that is creating the fear in the society must be seen as a common enemy. So too are the originators and those who are using it for their own ends. This you will soon be able to tell as it becomes evident. You will be able to identify those who are benefitting the most from the maintained fear. The benefactors of fear often invariably mobilize their machinery to intensify the fear as it affords for greater levels of fear to advance their agenda.
The fear-gripped world, devastated in many ways by COVID, has been waiting with bated breath for a promised vaccine solution that would end the nightmare. The world is now hearing from the same source that the vaccine will have little immediate effect and as such all restrictions remain because it will require multiple vaccinations for the majority of the population.
This raises many questions that need to be answered, not least of which is the integrity of the voices and especially when they have sought to silence any other view, except their own, even when those opinions are from among their own ranks and scientific associates. The question of motive looms large. Confidence in leadership can only come from honesty, transparency, openness, truth and dialogue. Anything else can never be trusted and gain support from the people.
Vaccines have a place
First, let us define medically what a vaccine is unless there has been a recent change. It is “preventative inoculation to confer immunity against a specified disease.” This is the standard of determination. Whatever does not fit that definition cannot be rightfully called a vaccine.
Vaccines are not new; they have been used for a long time, some with eventual good effect. In the early stages, there were serious casualties and side effects. With time and increased knowledge and management, we have reaped the benefits.
The fact is, any alien substance injected into the body is always potentially dangerous, even when it can eventually help. Hence great care, research and proper testing must be done for its use to accomplish the intended purpose. More so the element of time is critical. Time must be given to properly test and prove a vaccine’s side effects.
Human beings are not guinea pigs to be objects of potentially harmful trials as if they are expendable. Human life is sacred and must be treated as such by all. Those who do not reverence human life cannot be trusted.
The fact is, proven alternative medical solutions are available to treat COVID-19, so no need of rush vaccinations and thereby produce human casualties. Evidence is now the restrictions of the AstraZeneca one of the better and less risky than others being proposed made of substances of unknown effects.
The disappointment to a world that is expecting “inoculation against” a virus is hearing something contrary as the current reality. The long-awaited vaccine gave people hope that it would bring an end to COVID restrictions and restore normalcy. The providers and the World Health Organization (WHO) are now saying even with the vaccine persons can still contract and transmit the virus.
Naturally, this raises questions that must be asked and answered truthfully. In a free democracy, this is essential. It is an individual right entrenched in our Constitution and supported by our Christian values that full disclosure of information be known to make informed choices. Particularly concerning one’s health and any injectable into the body.
Critical questions to be answered
- Are each of the injectables proposed a preventative inoculation against the COVID virus? If not, Why not? If it does not, and allows for infection and transmission then can be defined as a vaccine?
- Which ones are and what is the purpose of others?
- What are the contents in each brand from each source?
- What are the known or expected effects and side effects?
- What are the possible long-term effects, since no one knows having not tested it?
- Some of the injectables are new technology not used on humans before.
- Is it true to your knowledge that a shot may be necessary every year and possibly altered for mutating strains?
Why are we imposing these injectables wide scale when there are so many uncertainties surrounding the later possible effects, especially when existing medication can control and so prevent the injection? Would this not allow for proper testing without human casualties?
These for starters are a few of the questions our national leaders must answer upfront or at least open for debate. The people cannot be asked to inject into their bodies what they do not know, with both short-term and long-term side effects unknown, especially when the action is irreversible. Such action would be irresponsible and leaders who expect it would have to be so considered.
The people need answers to these and other questions now
There are some of us who still believe that the body is a great, unique and amazing construct by an all-wise God. Men cannot better it. Therefore, the best wisdom is to corporate with it, support and strengthen its natural order, not plan to reorder, transform, deceive, direct or reconfigure it. Such action will create internal conflict with possible very negative effects.
Let’s be careful of those who are mindful to ignore established medical procedures. Let’s be mindful of those who are willing to subject you and me to untested or low-tested medications. Be careful of those who think they are wiser than their creator. These usually belong to a group of freedom takers or freedom infringers, against whom we must always be diligent.

Have you ever forgotten someone’s name, or where you left your phone and thought, “Why can’t I remember anything?” Forgetting might feel frustrating, but it turns out that forgetting things can actually be good for you. Experts believe forgetting might be an important part of human survival and could even have benefits.
You probably think that remembering everything would be better, right? If you remembered every tiny detail, like what you had for breakfast three weeks ago, or the colour of every car you saw today, you would be overwhelmed. Our brains are constantly receiving information, and if we didn’t forget some of it, we wouldn’t be able to focus on what really matters at that time.
Forgetting helps you clear out information you don’t need, and it helps your brain remember the most useful memories. Think about how hard it would be to focus on important things if your mind was filled with random thoughts. Forgetting helps you stay focused and keeps your mind from getting lost.
So, why would evolution make us forget things? Early humans had to deal with dangerous environments that changed quickly. They needed to remember things that helped them survive, like where to find food, or how to avoid predators. They didn’t need to remember every small detail, like what happened last week. Forgetting information, they didn’t need allowed them to make quick decisions based on what was most important at that moment in time.
For example, if you remember a recent storm, you might make sure to stay inside or find shelter. If you remembered every storm you’d ever seen, it would be harder to make decisions about the present. Forgetting irrelevant details helps you stay on your feet and helps you react faster to new situations. This ability to forget likely helped early humans survive and make better decisions in their everyday lives.
Next time you forget something, don’t be too hard on yourself! Forgetting is a natural part of how our brains work and can actually help you stay focused on the important things. It might seem annoying at times, but it’s helping you make better decisions. Forgetting isn’t just something to be annoyed about, it’s a smart way to survive in a world that’s always changing!

Blink equity dives deep into the gap between people of colour and decision-making roles in Canadian law firms
BY ADRIAN REECE
Representation in the workforce has been a topic of conversation for years, particularly in positions of influence, where people can shift laws and create fair policies for all races. Representation in the legal system is an even more talked about subject, with many Black men being subjected to racism in courts and not being given fair sentencing by judges.
The fear of Black men entering the system is something that plagues mothers and fathers as they watch their children grow up.
Blink Equity, a company led by Pako Tshiamala, has created an audit called the Blink Score. This audit targets law firms and seeks to identify specific practices reflecting racial diversity among them in Toronto. A score is given based on a few key performance indicators. These KPIs include hiring practices, retention of diverse talent, and racial representation at every level.
The Blink Score project aims to analyze law firms in Ontario with more than 50 lawyers. The Blink Score is a measurement tool that holds law firms accountable for their representation. Firms will be ranked, and the information will be made public for anyone to access.
This process is ambitious and seeks to give Canadian citizens a glimpse into how many people are represented across the legal field. While more and more people have access to higher education, there is still a gap between obtaining that higher education and working in a setting where change can be made. The corporate world, at its highest points, is almost always one race across the board, and very rarely do people of colour get into their ranks. They are made out to be an example of how anyone from a particular race can achieve success. However, this is the exception, not the rule. Nepotism plays a role in societal success; connections are a factor, and loyalty to race, even if people are acquainted.
People of colour comprise 16% of the total lawyers across the province. Positions at all levels range from 6% to 27%. These numbers display the racial disparity among law practitioners in positions of influence. Becoming a lawyer is undoubtedly a huge accomplishment. Still, when entering the workforce with other seasoned professionals, your academic accolades become second to your professional achievements and your position in the company.
What do these rankings ultimately mean? A potential for DEI-inclusive practices, perhaps? That isn’t something that someone would want in this kind of profession. This kind of audit also opens law firms up to intense criticism from people who put merit above all other aspects of professional advancement. On the other hand, there is a potential for firms to receive clientele based on their blink score, with higher ones having the chance to bring in more race-based clients who can help that law firm grow.
It is only the beginning, and changes will undoubtedly be made in the legal field as Blink Equity continues to dive deep into the gap between people of colour and decision-making roles in these law firms. This audit has the power to shift the power scale, and place people of colour in higher positions. There are hierarchies in any profession, and while every Lawyer is qualified to do what they are trained to do, it is no shock that some are considerably better than others at their jobs. The ones who know how to use this audit to their advantage will rise above the others and create a representative image for themselves among their population.

We are living in a world where promises of health and safety came packaged in a tiny vial, one injection was promoted by powerful governments, supported by respected institutions, and championed by legacy media worldwide. Sadly, beneath the surface, a darker truth emerged.
Reports from around the globe began to tell a different story—one that was not covered in the news cycles or press conferences. Families torn apart by unexpected losses, communities impacted in ways that few could have foreseen, and millions questioning what they had been told to believe.
Those who dared to question were silenced or dismissed (the Toronto Caribbean Newspaper being one of those sources). “Trust the science,” we were told. “It’s for the greater good.” As time went on, the truth became impossible to ignore.
Now, I bring more news to light—information that demands your attention and scrutiny. The time to passively listen has passed; this is the moment to understand what’s really at stake.
I reviewed an interview with Naomi Wolf, journalist and CEO of Daily Clout, which detailed the serious vaccine-related injuries that Pfizer and the FDA knew of by early 2021, but tried to hide from the public. I was introduced to “The Pfizer Papers: Pfizer’s Crimes Against Humanity.” What I learned is that Pfizer knew about the inadequacies of its COVID-19 vaccine trials and the vaccine’s many serious adverse effects, and so did the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA promoted the vaccines anyway — and later tried to hide the data from the public.
To produce “The Pfizer Papers,” Naomi, and Daily Clout Chief Operations Officer Amy Kelly convened thousands of volunteer scientists and doctors to analyze Pfizer data and supplementary data from other public reporting systems to capture the full scope of the vaccines’ effects. They obtained the data from the Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency, a group of more than 30 medical professionals and scientists who sued the FDA in 2021 and forced the agency to release the data, after the FDA refused to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request.
It was then that the federal court ordered the agency to release 450,000 internal documents pertaining to the licensing of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. The data release was significantly and the documents so highly technical and scientific that according to Naomi, “No journalist could have the bandwidth to go through them all.”
The “Pfizer Papers” analysts found over 42,000 case reports detailing 158,893 adverse events reported to Pfizer in the first three months The centerpiece of “The Pfizer Papers” is the effect that the vaccine had on human reproduction. The papers reveal that Pfizer knew early on that the shots were causing menstrual issues. The company reported to the FDA that 72% of the recorded adverse events were in women. Of those, about 16% involved reproductive disorders and functions. In the clinical trials, thousands of women experienced: daily bleeding, hemorrhaging, and passing of tissue, and many other women reported that their menstrual cycle stopped completely.
Pfizer was aware that lipid nanoparticles from the shots accumulated in the ovaries and crossed the placental barrier, compromising the placenta and keeping nutrients from the baby in utero. According to the data, babies had to be delivered early, and women were hemorrhaging in childbirth.
Let us take us to another part of the world, where research has been done on other pharmaceutical companies. A group of Argentine scientists identified 55 chemical elements — not listed on package inserts — in the: Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, CanSino, Sinopharm and Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccines (according to a study published last week in the International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research).
The samples also contained 11 of the 15 rare earth elements (they are heavier, silvery metals often used in manufacturing). These chemical elements, which include lanthanum, cerium and gadolinium, are lesser known to the general public than heavy metals, but have been shown to be highly toxic. By the end of 2023, global researchers had identified 24 undeclared chemical elements in the COVID-19 vaccine formulas.
Vaccines often include excipients — additives used as preservatives, adjuvants, stabilizers, or for other purposes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), substances used in the manufacture of a vaccine, but not listed in the contents of the final product should be listed somewhere in the package insert. Why is this important? Well, researchers argue it is because excipients can include allergens and other “hidden dangers” for vaccine recipients.
In one lot of the AstraZeneca vaccine, researchers identified 15 chemical elements, of which 14 were undeclared. In the other lot, they detected 21 elements of which 20 were undeclared. In the CanSino vial, they identified 22 elements, of which 20 were undeclared.
The three Pfizer vials contained 19, 16 and 21-23 undeclared elements respectively. The Moderna vials contained 21 and between 16-29 undeclared elements. The Sinopharm vials contained between 17-23 undeclared elements and the Sputnik V contained between 19-25 undetected elements.
“All of the heavy metals detected are linked to toxic effects on human health,” the researchers wrote. Although the metals occurred in different frequencies, many were present across multiple samples.
I am not going to go any further with this; I think you get the picture. We have been sold wolf cookies, very dangerous ones. These pharmaceutical companies must be held accountable. I am proud of anyone who has gone after them for retribution, and have received it. Regardless, in many ways, there is no repayment for a healthy life.
