Issues with critters? Sick of using things that can easily make you sick or kill you?
Dr. Killigan’s is THE all-natural solution. Check out what a customer had to say about their “Six Feet Under” non-toxic insect spray:
I bought this to get rid of the ants that built a nest in my flagstone patio and sidewalk. I have granddaughters and pets, and I didn't want to use chemicals that could make them sick if they were exposed. I've used other natural pesticides in the past with mild success but this stuff definitely does the trick! I've only had to spray one time over a month ago...still no sign of the ants returning. 10/10, will be purchasing more.”

“A cyberattack against a division of UnitedHealth Group Inc. has caused a nationwide outage of a computer network that’s used to transmit data between health-care providers and insurance companies, rendering some pharmacies unable to process prescriptions, according to the company and reports from affected organizations.
UnitedHealth found a ‘suspected nation-state associated cyber security threat actor’ had access to subsidiary Change Healthcare’s systems on Feb. 21, prompting the company to disconnect them from other parties, the company said in a filing Thursday.
‘Change Healthcare is experiencing a cybersecurity issue, and our experts are working to address the matter,’ the Minnetonka, Minnesota-based company said earlier in a statement on its website. ‘Once we became aware of the outside threat, in the interest of protecting our partners and patients, we took immediate action to disconnect our systems to prevent further impact.’
The incident is the latest in a series of attacks where hackers have compromised providers of back-end IT software and services — companies that are often little-known outside of their industries yet play critical roles in the normal functioning of everything from financial markets to government services — and triggered cascading disruptions across their customer bases.”
THINGS TO PONDER:
When you combine what you’ve just read with this:
It makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
It also makes you wonder…
Because over the last month, we’ve not only seen story after story about this exact thing happening, but the US government has said the same thing…
And just like clockwork, there it is.
Interesting time with a solar flare as well… that hit the US when it was dark… and specifically affected certain phones.
Don’t let these people play you like they have been…
Something is rotten in Denmark.
And someone is testing our systems for something bigger.

“Secretary of State Antony Blinken instructed State Department employees to refrain from using gendered terms such as ‘mother, ‘father’ and ‘manpower’ in a recent internal memo, according to a report.
The Biden administration official argued in the memo that gender is a social construct and that a person’s gender identity ‘may or may not correspond with one’s sex assigned at birth,’ according to the Feb. 5 missive.
The note was obtained by National Review and titled: ‘Modeling DEIA: Gender Identity Best Practices.’
Blinken encouraged his colleagues at the State Department to use ‘gender-neutral language whenever possible’ to ‘show respect and avoid misunderstandings’ He also suggested that employees identify their preferred pronouns in emails and when introducing themselves in meetings, according to the outlet.
Assuming an individual’s gender identity simply based on their appearance or name ‘can be problematic’ and conveys a ‘harmful, exclusionary message,’ Blinken states in the memo.
However, he asks staffers not to ‘pressure someone to state their pronouns.’
‘Commonly used pronouns could include she/her, he/him, they/them, and ze/zir,’ the secretary of state explains, noting that in some cases people use a variety of pronouns or accept all pronouns.
‘This is a personal decision that should be respected,’ Blinken wrote.
Commonly used terms such as “manpower,” “you guys,” “ladies and gentlemen,” “mother/father,” “son/daughter” and “husband/wife” should be avoided, according to the State Department chief, and replaced with words like, “labor force,” “everyone,” “folks,” “you all,” “parent,” “child,” “spouse” or partner” instead.
“When speaking, avoid using phrases like ‘brave men and women on the front lines,’” the memo continues, suggesting the “use more specific language such as ‘brave first responders,’ ‘brave soldiers,’ or ‘brave DS agents.'”
THINGS TO PONDER:
Do you recall what the tipping point was when the Roman Empire jumped the shark?
It was when the gender lines were blurred.
You’ll also need to have the 13 rules from Rules For Radicals handy to understand why stuff like this works against the masses and why you have to call it out:
"Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
"Never go outside the expertise of your people."
"Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy."
"Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."
"A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
"A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."
"Keep the pressure on."
"The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."
"The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."
"If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative."
"The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

“American consumers are being pulled in opposite directions right now—by rising prices that threaten consumption on one side, and by low unemployment and rising wages that are fueling growth on the other. But Bank of America predicts that the two forces, with the help of a push from the Fed, will reach equilibrium in 2025. Just what kind, though, not even CEO Brian Moynihan knows.
In an interview with CNBC at the Bank of America Securities Financial Services Conference on Wednesday, Moynihan held forth from the sidelines in Miami on how the pre-pandemic economic equilibrium was upset by inflationary shocks to both consumer prices and wages. But it was the timing of these shocks that sent consumer spending trends especially out of whack.
‘Pricing went up, and wages went up—they just went up in two different cycles,’ said Moynihan. ‘And so the wage growth had occurred early in the post-pandemic cycle … [and] added a lot to consumers’ firepower. The problem is [that] then, the pricing [increases] caught up with it. And now, we’re trying to get that back in equilibrium.’
BofA internal research data shows that consumer spending is leveling off, consistent with the disinflation path the Federal Reserve is targeting as it tries to stick a soft landing. Moynihan noted that BofA customers’ spending growth is currently hovering at between 4% and 5%, lower than the 10% figure this time last year.”

Words matter.
The CEO of Bank Of America just told you “You better get used to” things sucking…
Keeping in mind that the majority of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck with those ”rising wages,” they are having a hard enough time living versus even thinking about a mortgage for a house…
But hey, who cares right?
You have to really understand the battle that you’re in, and that you have WAY more control over the outcome than you’ve been led to believe… you just have to be willing to do the work.
A resource like Watchmen Action provides you with that formula.
It’s time to get to work!
Did you realize that something like a solar flare can knock out your electronics? Or kill your car?
