THE TRUTH ABOUT COVID-19
RONNIE CUMMINS’ AND DR. MERCOLA’S NEW BOOK

[[link removed]]
Since early 2020, the world has experienced a series of catastrophic events—a
global pandemic caused by a so-called novel coronavirus; international lockdowns and border closings causing widespread business
closures, economic collapse, and massive unemployment; and an unprecedented
curtailment of civil liberties and freedoms in the name of keeping people safe by locking them up in their homes.



We are now living in a world that is increasingly ruled, not by our democratic
systems and institutions, but by public health fiat, carried out by politicians who rule by instilling fear and
panic.

In their new book, The Truth About COVID-19
[[link removed]] , Dr. Mercola and Cummins reveal new and emerging evidence that:

• The SARS-CoV-2 virus was, indeed, lab-engineered and emerged from a
negligently managed bioweapons lab in Wuhan, China

• The global pandemic was long anticipated by global elites who have used it to
facilitate and hide the largest upward transfer of wealth in human history

• PCR testing, case counts, morbidity, and vaccine safety and efficacy data have
been widely manipulated and misrepresented

• Obesity, diabetes, and heart disease are known to worsen COVID-19 outcomes,
but the junk food industry continues to push its agenda at the expense of public
health

• Safe, simple, and inexpensive treatment and prevention for COVID-19 have been
censored and suppressed to create a clear path for vaccine acceptance

• Effectiveness of the vaccines has been wildly exaggerated and major safety
questions have gone unanswered

The good news in all of this is that we can take control of our health and that,
together, we have the power to unite and fight back for our health, democracy,
and freedom. The time is now for a global awakening. As Dr. Mercola and Cummins
remind us, this is the fight of our lives.

CENSORSHIP
SILICON VALLEY WANTS TO SILENCE US

[[link removed]]
As you’ve probably heard, Silicon Valley (including Facebook, Google, Twitter,
Instagram, and YouTube) has stepped up its efforts to censor everyone who dares speak up against the COVID-19 “official story” put out by the Chinese and US governments, Big Pharma, Bill Gates, the
corporate-controlled mass media, and the global medical Establishment.



Several close allies of OCA, including Mercola.com, Robert Kennedy Jr.,
Children’s Health Defense, Highwire.com, and National Vaccine Information
Center, have recently had their social media sites censored, blocked, gaslighted, and even
“de-platformed.”

We are being accused of spreading dangerous “conspiracy theories,” such as the
evermore obvious lab origins and accidental release of SARS-CoV-2 and the equally obvious efficacy of healthy food and natural health remedies to strengthen our defenses
against chronic disease and COVID-19.

The Tech Giants claim we are in violation of so-called “community standards” as
defined by Big Pharma, the Chinese government, Bill Gates, and other proponents
of the Great Reset.

OCA and others have been warned by Facebook that we can no longer post
information, no matter how well-documented, that contradicts the “official
story” on the pandemic, or else they will cut us off from communicating with our
mass social media networks.

In our case, OCA stands to lose 1.1 million followers on Facebook, and hundreds
of thousands of followers on the other Silicon Valley platforms which we have
built up over the years. It is now obvious that the internet monopolies need to
be broken up, and that serious alternatives to Facebook, Google, Instagram,
Twitter, WhatsApp and others must be developed. But until these new mass
communication platforms are well established, we have no choice but to rely on our current communication tools, especially our email lists, more than
ever.

OCA refuses to be silenced, but we need your help. Before we are de-platformed
on social media, we need to increase the number of our subscribers , so that we can continue to reach a mass audience of organic and health minded
consumers, activists, and concerned citizens.

We implore each one of you to talk to everyone you know who shares a passion for
healthy food, natural health, truth and free expression and encourage them to

REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE
ORGANIC AGROECOLOGY AND REGENERATION OR COLLAPSE?

[[link removed]]
As Paulo Petersen writes:

“The growing number of ecological, health, economic and social crises situations
are compounding and are based in an exceptionally complex political reality that
demand a systemic and holistic perspective. Yet, governments and public policy
around the world are plagued by sectoral approaches. These need to be overcome
if we can respond to this crisis in a way that dismantles the vicious regressive
circles that make the causes seem like the effects, and vice versa.”

Fortunately, we at OCA and Regeneration International have a solution, as our
close ally, Vandana Shiva, points out
[[link removed]] : “Regenerative agriculture provides answers to the soil crisis, the food crisis,
the climate crisis and the crisis of democracy.”

INTERVIEW
THE GATES EMPIRE ‘WILL OWN EVERYTHING’

[[link removed]]
In this timely interview with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Vandana Shiva discusses
how Bill Gates
[[link removed]] , along with Big Ag, Big Chemical
[[link removed]] , Big Food
[[link removed]] , Big Tech
[[link removed]] and Big Pharma
[[link removed]] are destroying Earth’s ecosystems and with it, our health.



As Vandana points out:

“So now in the art of moneymaking is Big Ag, Big Food, Big Tech, Big Everyone
wanting to get bigger like a cancer cell. And the new Gates Ag One
[[link removed]] is this convergence. It’s one year-old. Last year in January, he announced it.
And as he says, time is the enemy. When only stupid people think time is the
enemy. Wise people know time is your friend that tests the best out of you.
After all, Mr. Gates locked us all in for one year, and time has taught us what
wonderful friendships and love is about. It has taught us about enoughness, and
simplicity, what we can do without. They don’t realize there’s a living world
out there. And I feel Mr. Gates, besides having the disease of the cancer cell,
not knowing when to stop growing … Healthy cells know how to stop growing. I
think he’s got a disease of power, and he has a disease of fear because … I
said, why is this man so afraid of the tiniest microbe, and so afraid of the
tiniest small farmer protesting on the Indian streets today?”

COVID-19
COLLATERAL DAMAGE OF THE COVID-19 LOCKDOWNS

[[link removed]]
The website Collateral Global
[[link removed]] provides an ongoing report on the collateral damage—physical, mental, social, economic, political, and
educational—of what are, in most cases, well-intentioned but misguided and
disastrous mitigation strategies and lockdowns across the world. Here is a sampling of collateral damage across the world:



“Illness and hospital admissions directly related to coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) have been infrequent for children and young people; however,
pandemic-related service closures have resulted in limited access to primary and
secondary health care, parental fear of seeking health care, closures of
daycares and schools, and employment and financial instability. Adverse
childhood experiences, [include] family violence, non-accidental trauma and
mental illness…” ( CMAJ [[link removed]] )

"New research from Drinkaware reveals that around two in five (38%) of people on
furlough and a third (33%) of parents with at least one child under 18 are
drinking more alcohol since the start of lockdown." ( Drinkaware [[link removed]] )

“4 in 10 people replied their opioid use had increased or greatly increased
during the first 4 weeks of the outbreak. Half of these respondents said their
benzos use had increased or greatly increased during the first 4 weeks of the
outbreak. We now know that anti-anxiety medication prescriptions have gone up by
34% in the US…” ( Drugs and Me [[link removed]] )

“A 60% increase in emergency calls from women subjected to violence by their
intimate partner has been reported in the World Health Organization Europe
member states. Comparing April 2020 with the same period last year, WHO said
that online inquiries to violence prevention support hotlines had also increased
as much as fivefold.” ( BMJ [[link removed]] )

SURVEILLANCE
THE GREAT RESET OR THE GREAT DIVIDE?

[[link removed]]
Dr. Rob Verkerk, from the Alliance for Natural Health International, provides us
with a comprehensive critique of the World Economic Forum’s controversial “Great
Reset,” endorsed by Bill Gates, Joe Biden, Big Pharma, and much of the global elite. As
Verkerk points out, the World Economic Forum’s exit strategy from Covid-19 may
sound appealing to some at first glance, but is based upon false and dangerous
assumptions:



“The power of [the Great Reset] vision is that along with the massive disruption
it requires to take form, it also dangles enough carrots in front of us to make
at least some of it seem appealing. Take, just for starters, solving three of
the current biggest issues of our time: poverty, inequality and climate change.
These are all close to the top of the priority list of anyone with a social and
environmental conscience, whether left- or right-leaning… [but] The Great Reset
involves changes to almost every facet of our lives – how we work, how we get
paid and pay for things, what kind of medicines we need, how we’re monitored,
how we share information, how we travel… do you want to be surveilled 24/7, not
just where you are, but - how you are? What about allowing others to control how
you function or even think? Or are you happy for others to read your thoughts,
all without you even knowing it? And how about signing up to a new social
contract that requires you, for the sake of others, to share all sorts of things
you once thought were safeguarded by an inalienable right to privacy?”

SUPPORT OCA & CRL
WE ARE UNDER ATTACK

[[link removed]]
Facebook, Silicon Valley, and Big Pharma, along with their partners in
crime—Monsanto, out-of-control gene-engineers, the military-industrial-chemical
complex, and corporate agribusiness—would love for OCA and our allies to
disappear.



They are tired of us exposing their greed, mad science, corporate crimes,
criminal negligence, and the fact that they can literally get away with murder.

Increasingly they are running scared, because they know that their GMOs and Warp
Speed messenger RNA vaccines are under scrutiny. They can see that a potential
critical mass of the global grassroots is waking up to the truth, and their
greatest fear is materializing—that someday they will be brought to justice.

Big Tech and the Deep State may censor us and block our social media
communications. But we will never give up. We will never compromise in our
search and struggle for truth, regeneration, health, participatory democracy,
and justice.

But now we need your help, more than ever.
