Prepare to Get Crackasized!
The Legend of Zelda is a long-running fantasy video game series from Nintendo, essentially ubiquitous in popular culture. However, this drama concerns itself quite little with the games themselves, but the antics and exploits of possibly the most infamous fan of the series and his quixotic quest to get a script based on the series turned into an animated movie.
The year was 2003. The most recent game in the series at that point was The Wind Waker, and along with speculation about future titles and the much-debated Zelda timeline, a popular forum topic was the possibility of a movie based on the series, with dream casting, directors, plots, etc. It was not uncommon to see fan-scripts posted on forums like Zelda Universe, with varying degrees of quality. Importantly for this story, most fans at the time hated the only official animated adaptation of Zelda, the cartoon series from 1989 (link doesn't work outside of the USA).
Joe_Cracker, real name Robert C. McGee, was a 19-year-old high school senior from York, South Carolina. He posted the first message in a now-infamous thread on the IGN Zelda forums announcing his ambitious plans to create an animated movie based on the 1989 cartoon series titled "The Light of Courage," with elements from later games like Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask included. He promised the following:

This is it, this is what you guys wanted.
All you guys who want to talk about the Zelda movie, this is the topic for you.
As you may all know, the movie is based on the 80's t.v. show, and the simplist things about this movie is.

It will use the same animation from the T.V. show but with an up to date look, such as shadow effects, motion effects, and more
The same sound effects, that originated from the first Zelda game will be used as well as many others, old and new.
It will also feature most of the same voice cast, but for my ideas for new cariters and other Zelda cariters, never seen in the T.V. show and who should do their voices, I will post them in other topics everytime 10 people sign my petition.
A few free give aways, I want to cast myself to be the voices of "The Triforce of Courage" and "Majora's Mask". I want to bring in Captain Lou Albano and Danny Wells to do a "Super Mario Bros. Super Mini Movie" that will play in front of the main feature.
All petition updates and sneak peaks will be posted as seprate topics

That is all.

Joe's wide-eyed optimism and earnest, but naive, attempts to get his script turned into a film bemused certain forumites. He insisted that he could obtain the rights to the Zelda series via a PetitionOnline page, and imagined an all-star cast, including Whoopi Goldberg and Britney Spears. One forum user nicknamed "THESPOTLIGHT" attempted to inject Joe with a sense of reality.

📷Date Posted: 9/9/03 2:46pm Subject: RE: The Legend of Zelda: The Light of Courage - A working progress
Joe Cracker Said:
"Once I am done with the screenplay, I want to submit to the right people that will help me get the Legal rights to do whatever I want with it and re-asemble the original voice cast."---------------------------------------------I say:I bet you don't evem know WHO the RIGHT people are! There isn't a team of people looking for amature screenplays to turn into low-budgeted movies. The rights to do a Zelda movie alone costs OVER A MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO PRODUCER IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD EVER LISTEN TO YOU OR YOUR PETITION.
I just being honest with you. I know what it takes and you don't have it. You may be creative but it takes EXPERIENCE to make a good 90 min movie.
The Cracker will crumble under the pressure.

Undaunted, the Cracker persisted, handing out flyers in his hometown to get people to sign his online petition. Unfortunately, less than 20 people signed. Out of a combination of frustration and pity, Spotlight agreed to help Joe as a script doctor, but Joe interpreted this arrangement as allowing himself to promote the as-yet-incomplete film online rather than working on his script. Throughout 2004, Spotlight was essentially subject to Cracker's demands and rewrites, being treated as an unpaid employee rather than a partner. Cracker attempted to raise money for his film by selling the NES "Where's Waldo?" game, a film reel of Shrek 2 which he had fished out of a movie theater dumpster, then by selling albums of himself singing on eBay. Spotlight went offline several times, only to poke his head back out and complain about the poor quality of the script and how he was essentially having to re-write it entirely, but Joe brushed off all criticism and insisted the final product would be "Crackasized." By October 2004, the beleaguered co-screenwriter Spotlight abandoned the project, finally done humoring Joe. However, a trio (Triforce?) of trolls emerged to take his place.
The first of the trolls was sexualburgerking, who posed as a genuine fan of Cracker's work, pretending to create purposefully-bad fan art for use in the Light of Courage project. He said of Joe_Cracker,

Joe_Cracker is an inspirational craftsman whose talent is only overshadowed by his creative energy. As you can see, he is such an inspiration that at least four talented individuals have offered their creativity and effort to Joe's project, while asking for nothing from him in return.

The second troll was Cellius_18, who created a parody of Joe's project called "The Beacon of Courage," while pretending that it was an earnest attempt to make an animated Zelda movie, as Joe's project was. The reveal of this "knockoff" of course drove Joe bananas, but was intended to get him to work harder on his project.
The third troll was orquiox, another user pretending to help with the animation and scripting. Together, the three trolls impersonated John Grusd, who was producer of the 1980s Zelda series, and convinced Cracker that DiC Entertainment was open to producing a full-length Zelda movie (that the rights to the IP ultimately rested with Nintendo went over Joe's head). Joe_Cracker sent "John Grusd" his script, and the movie ultimately got produced as three CGI-animated shorts with intentionally-amateurish animation, with dialogue taken straight from Cracker's script, misspellings and grammar errors and all. They released throughout 2005 and 2006, with a promised fourth short languishing in development hell, with the producers jokingly saying it will be finished in 2035.
The three videos soon became comedy classics on Zelda boards, with the now-defunct website "Dancing Triforce" set up to host them. Lines such as "My son keeps getting stronger and more braver every day," and "I cased over the moon" became memes among the Zelda fandom in the late 2000s.
Time passed and everyone moved on. Joe_Cracker made a full-length Bigfoot mocumentary called "The Unknown Creature", which is essentially 90 minutes of wandering around the woods. He attempted to create the "Perfect NES Clone" and program an NES ROM-maker software with features like 3D graphics generation, despite having zero programming knowledge. He solicited several denizens of the Atari Age forums to "assist" him in this endeavor, but none bit.
However, in 2013, he left his filmmaking behind to pursue higher office. Seeing that South Carolina Congressman Mick Mulvaney (who would later become the Trump White House Chief of Staff) was running unopposed, the onetime Internet celebrity attempted to leverage his minor fame to run for Congress. However, Robert C. McGee did not file to run in any political primary, and his campaigning was limited to handing out flyers much like he had for his PetitionOnline page years earlier. Said flyers made explicit reference to the decade-old Light of Courage. Robert McGee received a negligible amount of votes in this heavily-Republican district running as a write-in Democrat.
Today, Joe_CrackeRobert McGee maintains a Twitter account and hasn't pursued any more grandiose projects, but his saga brought plenty of laughs 15 years ago.
An archived version of the infamous script is here.

Why Altria ($MO) LEAPs may have HUGE asymmetric upside 🚀🚀🚀

TL;DR: vaping, marijuana, Michael Burry, low as fuck IV, hugely under-valued company 🚀🚀🚀
\Disclaimer: I am not a financial advisor. This is not investment advice. All information stated in this post is my own opinion, and some information may be unknowingly inaccurate or outdated. Please do your own due diligence before investing your money. I currently hold a long position on various Altria LEAPs.**
Nicotine products have been in continuous use in North America for thousands of years [1]. Upon the arrival of the Spanish to the New World, tobacco use spread rapidly throughout the globe, becoming hugely popular not only across Europe, but also in far-flung Asia and the Ottoman Empire. The only comparable product to conquer the world so thoroughly is the ubiquitous, similarly addictive, mighty coffee bean.
By the 1900's, smoking had become a huge commercial enterprise. Glitz and glam surrounded the tobacco industry. All of your Grandmother's favorite actors smoked [2]. Many high schools had smoking lounges for the students (of course, your Nana still regularly snuck out behind the bleachers to have a private puff with the quarterback). Nicotine use was a normal and accepted part of life.
We are all, of course, familiar with the rest of the story. Studies came out showing just how damaging cigarette usage was on the human body. Campaigns were begun, laws were enacted, and Big Tobacco became Public Enemy #1 [3]
Fast forward to today. For the past few decades, despite decreasing cigarette volumes, the tobacco industry has remained immensely profitable. Big players in the cigarette industry have been able to compensate for declining cigarette volumes by raising prices. Cash flows from cigarette smoking have never been higher. Yet looking at the stock market performance of the tobacco industry over the past 5 years, you would think that the industry was on life support.
No company has lately fared worse than Altria ($MO). Despite growing income at a 5.9% CAGR since 2017 amid a backdrop of stabilizing declines in cigarette consumption [4], the company's stock remains 45% off its 2017 high. Much of the underperformance can be attributed to investors losing confidence in the company's management after a series of questionable investment decisions, including taking a 35% stake in JUUL, a 45% stake in Chronos (a Canadian marijuana company), and a 10% stake in Anheuser-Busch.
These investments have performed poorly over the past few years. High-profile teen deaths from illicit THC vaping products were widely linked to JUUL usage by our sensationalist media [5], causing Altria to write-down its initial $12B investment in JUUL to a value of only ~$2B today. The bubble in the marijuana stock market popped in 2018, causing a 30% reduction in the value of Altria's Chronos stake. And the rise of the craft beer industry has continued to weigh on the profitability of Anheuser-Busch.
Despite the short-term pitfalls, I will argue that it is reasonable to believe that Altria has positioned itself very well for the future. And with all of these factors weighing down the stock over the past few years, I believe $MO is ripe for a turnaround.
I have a 2023 price target for $MO of $90 which, given the low IV Altria enjoys, implies a 30x (3,000%) return on MO Jan 2023 65c LEAPs.
My thesis relies on four key beliefs:


The company's core business is under-valued
Vaping will see a resurgence as a less-harmful alternative to cigarettes
Altria is poised to win big if marijuana is federally legalized
Michael Burry's Scion Asset Management is heavily invested in $MO

1) The Company's core business is under-valued
Altria enjoys a stunningly low forward P/E of 8.7 and a stunningly high dividend yield of 8.1% [6]. Various online discounted cash flow analyses of Altria give it an intrinsic value between $62-$72 [7] [8]. These analyses are very conservative in that they only take into account Altria's current business, which is predominantly smokeable tobacco products.
There are also bright spots in Altria's miscellaneous businesses that these DCF models don't account for, such as the fast-growing "on!" line of nicotine pouches, or the likely reinstatement of Anheuser-Busch's dividend after it was paused last year due to Covid.
We'll ignore these bright spots for now and give Altria's core business a conservative price target of $65.
2) Vaping will see a resurgence as a less-harmful alternative to cigarettes
\Please note: I am not a doctor. All health claims made in this post reflect only my own opinions.**
Nicotine has gotten a bad rap in the past 50 years, but on its own there isn't much research I've seen to suggest it's any more dangerous than caffeine. The big problem with nicotine is simply the delivery mechanism. Smoking large amounts of anything is bad for your lungs. Vaping exposes your lungs to far fewer ancillary chemicals in much smaller doses than traditional smoking. For instance, Michael Blaha, M.D., M.P.H., director of clinical research at the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease, says about vaping “there’s almost no doubt that they expose you to fewer toxic chemicals than traditional cigarettes.” [9]
Altria surveyed the landscape in 2017 and determined that acquiring a stake in JUUL was its best way to position itself for the future. Since then, JUUL's name has been dragged through the mud and associated with many teen deaths. However, these deaths were later determined to be caused by unauthorized THC products unlinked to JUUL [10]. JUUL's case for harm reduction in the nicotine space is still intact.
The FTC filed an anti-trust case recently attempting to block Altria's stake in JUUL [11]. This case is due to be heard this spring. The uncertainty around JUUL's future has weighed on $MO, but in my opinion all outcomes of this case are positive:
1) Altria is forced to divest its stake in JUUL
This is not ideal, but as part of the JUUL acquisition, Altria agreed to not compete in the vaping space against JUUL. If Altria is forced to divest, it can capitalize on the recent decline in the quality and brand value of JUUL (just check out juul to see the declining sentiment around the brand) to bring its own high-quality product onto the market.
2) Altria is allowed to keep its stake in JUUL
In this case, Altria can capitalize on JUUL's troubles by acquiring a larger stake in the company at a discount. Altria can then flood JUUL with the cash it needs to help rebuild its quality and brand. This is the ideal case in my opinion, for both JUUL and Altria.
Setting aside JUUL for the moment, Altria has the exclusive rights to distribute in the USA Phillip Morris's FDA-approved IQoS product [12]. This is a "heat not burn" product that is more similar to existing cigarettes than vaping, but still reduces the number of harmful chemicals inhaled. This product is already popular in Europe and Japan, and is just beginning to be marketed in the USA. One major advantage of this product is that it produces no smoke, and so may potentially end up being allowed in restaurants, bars, and offices.
3) Altria is poised to win big if marijuana is federally legalized
Altria is the one company with the regulatory experience and distribution networks necessary to gain substantial market share in the nascent marijuana industry. Altria has been quietly filing patent after patent for THC and CBD vaping devices [13]. In fact, people in the fledgling marijuana industry are so worried about Altria's entry into the market that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, when speaking about his upcoming federal legalization bill, recently said "I don’t want to see these big tobacco companies coming in and shoving everyone out" [14]. (Note however that, while this position may play well with Senator Schumer's base for now, having a marijuana industry that is run by well-established and responsible companies is ultimately the best outcome for public health, and so it is unlikely that any steps will be taken to bar Altria from competing in the free market of marijuana products).
4) Michael Burry's Scion Asset Management is heavily invested in $MO
Would this really be WallStreetBets if I didn't mention Michael Burry? Burry's fund Scion Asset Management had 5% of its portfolio in $MO as of Q3 2020, making Altria its 13th largest holding [[15](https://dataroma.com/m/holdings.php?m=SAM). For context, this is about half the weight that Michael Burry's fund had in GameStop during the same quarter.
If nothing else, this is a good sanity check on the analysis here.
Summary
In summary, it's likely that the true value of Altria's core business is closer to $65 than the current price of $43. Add on top of that the potential for success in the vaping category, and the potential for growth into the marijuana market, and it is easy to see $MO adding an additional 20-30B in market cap to reach a price of $90 by 2023.
IV for 2023 LEAPs sits at ~20%. MO Jan 2023 65c's are currently priced at $0.77. If Altria reaches $90 by 2023, these options will be worth at least $25. This would represent a >3,100% return.
For this reason, I believe that Altria LEAPs represent a unique opportunity for asymmetric upside. Please let me know your thoughts below, I'd appreciate counter-arguments that highlight any flaws in the reasoning outlined above.

>Jan. 29th update to lawsuite:Judge approved PM request for a extension to submit their answer saying by February 26th now:" So that both defendants can submit their answer at the same time"Court also said no jury trials untill April now. HCMC said in their initial motion that they demand there be a jury trial for settling judgements. So PM better offer a big enough settlement to avoid that.

-Rumors going around about the April deadline date. That is when jury trials can resume. Because courts have suspended all Jury Trials due to COVID-19 until April 18th. People been getting confused and people spreading false information on purpose. So as of right now the only date on the case is the February 28th due date of Philip Morris's answer.

Once that is submitted, wether it be a settlement or accepting what they have done or deny the motion against them of infringing on HCMC's patents, than they will schedule the next court date.

cheshirechocobo Monday, 12/28/20 11:12:53 AM Re: None 0 Post # 20121 of 30551 IMO people in the inner circle of HCMC know a little more about this than they are letting on but the volume and money is talking. Methinks the HCMC Lawyers are working overtime because if the case was falling through so would the volume... IMO
The big Lawsuit people are talking about is between HCMC vs Phillip Morris for those who are new here and are curious.
I think HCMC is on top of this very much because "intellectual property" is a main part of their platform and if someone else infringed on one of their patents that they conceive / design / develop they are in the position to take action against that.

HOLLYWOOD, FL, Dec. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Healthier Choices Management Corp. (OTC Pink: HCMC) (“HCMC or the “Company”) announces that it has formed a new wholly owned subsidiary to hold, market and expand on its intellectual property assets. This subsidiary, HCMC Intellectual Property Holdings, LLC, will own all of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property of HCMC.
HCMC currently owns a portfolio of patents related to both vape technology and also manufacturing processes and procedures for an imitation nicotine product. HCMC’s focus with this new subsidiary is to invest in innovation and encourage further development of core intellectual property.
“The creation of a separate intellectual property holding entity allows us to efficiently market, license and otherwise capitalize on our growing intellectual property portfolio,” said Jeff Holman, CEO of HCMC.
Mr. Holman concluded, “We feel that we can use HCMC Intellectual Property Holdings to further implement our strategic plan and better capture opportunities to monetize both technology that HCMC has already developed over the years, as well as technology that we will continue to develop into the future.”

HCMC is BIG on their patents and intellectual property. If someone steals your intellectual property or develops something you already patented then you can then legally sue them...by doing this you can in theory make more money suing someone for copyright infringement on intellectual property than you can on the infringed product in question At that point you don't even have to develop the initial idea to make money.
AND THEN After the settlement from a victorious case...
You can then use the money from the lawsuit to develop your business / product. lololol (that makes me smile)
IMO as always but this is what I see

110 000 000 x.0001 = 11,000,000$ (seems like alot) BUT!!!!!
HCMC IS SUING Philip Morris OVER THE IQOS System
The IQOS heated tobacco units have become the third biggest tobacco brand behind Philip Morris' industry leading Marlboro and Imperial Brands' Winston. IQOS now has a 5.5% share of the global tobacco market, even though it hasn't been fully rolled out in a number of the 52 markets it's been introduced into.
Smoking alternatives heat up the market There are now 13.6 million users of the IQOS,(at 100$ per unit making 1 360 000 000 $)
that's 4 million more users than a year ago, and Philip Morris estimates 71% of them (around 10 million people) have stopped smoking and permanently switched to the device.
If Philip Morris are found guilty of patent infringement on every single sale of every single IQOS unit...
They have to cough up a massive chunk if not all of a 5.5 % share in the entire global tobacco market...of planet earth... over to HCMC.
A scenario like that would defiantly cover it...
DD for ya
Healthier Choices Management Corp. Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against Philip Morris
November 30, 2020 17:00 ET | Source: Healthier Choices Management Corp HOLLYWOOD, FL, Nov. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Healthier Choices Management Corp announced the filing of its patent infringement lawsuit against Philip Morris USA, Inc. and Philip Morris Products S.A. in connection with their product known and marketed as “IQOS®.” The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court For the Northern District Of Georgia.
HCMC vs Phillip Morris Lawsuit filing https://sec.report/Document/0000844856-20-000047/
The international law firm Cozen O’Connor has been engaged to represent HCMC in this matter.
https://www.cozen.com/
(MONSTERS ^ )
HCMC’s lawsuit includes claims that Phillip Morris is infringing HCMC’s patent rights in connection with IQOS®, an alternative tobacco product marketed and sold by Phillip Morris. Philip Morris claims that it is currently approaching 14 million users of its IQOS® product and has reportedly invested over $3 billion in their smokeless tobacco products. Philip Morris has been very open about their ongoing transition from traditional fully combustible cigarettes to their modified risk tobacco products, including IQOS®.
https://www.pmi.com/faq-section/faq/what-is-iqos
clearly covered http://www.healthiercmc.com/patents
The Philip Morris IQOS® product is currently the subject of two other patent infringement proceedings filed by RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company. One proceeding is before the International Trade Commission and seeks to stop the importation of the IQOS® product into the United States.
(added)THE INTERNATION TRADE COMMISION / FDA proceeding for the sale and distribution of IQOS system in the united states was in fact just recently approved.
https://www.pmi.com/media-centenews/the-fda-authorizes-the-sale-of-iqos-3-in-the-us
; the other is a patent infringement action currently pending in the Eastern District of Virginia. RJ Reynolds’ patents are unrelated and not affiliated with the patents asserted in the HCMC case.
“We are pleased that after a lengthy and careful analysis, a law firm with the patent litigation reputation and strength of Cozen O’Connor will be enforcing our patent rights,” said Jeff Holman, CEO of HCMC.
Mr. Holman concluded, “We look forward to proving our allegations of infringement in this matter and intend to continue to move forward against any and all companies that infringe upon our intellectual property in both the tobacco and cannabis categories.”
HCMC is in the right here...
FYI an IQOS system costs 100$ 13.6 million users all payed 100$ or 99 euros so 13.6 million users x 100S per unit as of feb 2020 (#'s don't reflect all the new users between feb to now either so the number is larger)
There are now 13.6 million users of the IQOS, 4 million more than a year ago, and Philip Morris estimates 71% of them (around 10 million people) have stopped smoking and permanently switched to the device.
As of Feb 10, 2020
At this point almost a year later they have even more users and now FDA approval for sale running around flag shipping the IQOS System that is in fact actually HCMC's patented intellectual property.
If or when PM ends up on the block and are forced to pay up on those kind of numbers to HCMC. The more greedy they get(and you know they are greedy) the more in the end they owe to HCMC and also the IQOS system that is actually HCMC's intellectual property is now FDA approved for sale in the US. (thanks to PM lol )
cheshirechocobo Wednesday, 12/30/20 10:56:17 PM Re: Badge04 post# 20507 0 Post # 20508 of 30551 MY POINT EXACTLY...If everything clicks for HCMC's legal team and the case goes through they will get rid of the float faster than you can spin your head.
I think they already are even?
If it all goes down in HCMC's favor and this will blow up so monster it will become an OTC legend. If you picked up .0001's on HCMC and held out on this it could change your life.
HCMC can buy out the whole floor after the settlement and if the people involved high up / HCMC's legal team already know how it's going to work out in the end they could be getting an early start not waiting for the courts, to begin enacting their plan and as for .0001's / .0002's they wont even exist afterword's if that is the case they will be a thing of legend as well.
No guarantees but man you could almost make a movie out of the story developing around this, at least a documentary.
At .0001 / .0002 tickets to the show are nothing compared to the ROI potential.
cheshirechocobo Monday, 12/28/20 02:26:15 PM Re: None 0 Post # 20155 of 30551 A theory
HCMC would be smart to keep surprising the price until the court case settles and they then buy up their own shares at .0001 with the money from the settlement.
That scenario would explain why so much volume yet no movement.
If HCMC runs up before the court case ends they can't buy their own shares for .0001 . So they keep it as low as possible and load it until they are ready to buy themselves for .0001 with money from the court settlement funds.
Anyone holding when that happens would just jump up along with the massive big block buys that would follow and HCMC has a massive rocket ride.
That's also how they can own a lot of themselves moving ahead into the future
thoughts?
cheshirechocobo Tuesday, 12/29/20 12:40:55 PM Re: RoidBoi44 post# 20268 0 Post # 20276 of 30551 ok Roidboi ... look...
I don't have a chalk board so I cant draw it out for you but..
HCMC will be able buy out their own bottom floor shares with IQOS Patent lawsuit settlement money.
HCMC sues PM and then all of a sudden HCMC has billions and billions in volume everyday...
I believe HCMC are the ones who will end up with the money to move it and that is why there is so much because its not for us to move its for them to get the lowest price possible on their own shares.
In doing so they will own themselves protecting / controlling their own shares from the bottom. They will then drive the price up as much as possible to give those shares maximum potential value in the future.
This is how an OTC company jumps up on to Nasdaq level.
"The Come up" as it is said.
Phillip Morris is under the gun because they used HCMC's technology (q-cup) in their IQOS vape system.
I suspect they had .0001s reserved for themselves in priority somehow hence the cancelation of everyone's orders on multiple trade platforms even though 0.0001 were reading as available...
This is all IMO but the writing is literally on the wall. The Volume here to me is the dead giveaway Someone's moving the cart along...
Unicorn Potential
END TIMELINE The above posts are all timestamped is a timeline of my thoughts back in 2020 about HCMC and what was going to happen before all the hype and media frenzy and hubaloo... O_O and now here we are today
I'll let you decide if you think I called this one ;) <3 I'm not even going to claim it...
This was the big post I mentioned about reposting and as a reward if you make it through all of this I will be reposting New DD and theory
This was the post that I believe opened some eyes. as follows
HCMC Q-Cup Tech Patent = Phillip Morris IQOS System Flagship next gen vape product being heavily pushed and marketed over 16 million + units already sold globally as of 2020 (the year isn't even over)
So HCMC owns the patent for the technology being used and sold in Phillip Morris's "IQOS" - E cigarette technology
The accused action is illegal
The IQOS system is a major money maker for Phillip Morris having sold 16.4 million units globally as of now.
https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/will-rrps-growth-keep-driving-philip-morris-pm-in-2021-2020-12-28
^Copied from above link (more in article)^
Tobacco companies have long been struggling with declining cigarette sales, thanks to consumers’ rising health consciousness as well as strict marketing and manufacturing policies imposed by regulatory authorities. Amid such a scenario, industry players like Philip Morris International Inc. PM are managing to stay afloat on the back of growth in low-risk tobacco alternatives. Additionally, gains from effective pricing strategies have been an upside. Let’s take a closer look.
RRPs Are a Key Growth Catalyst Philip Morris is committed toward developing a smoke-free future by expanding offerings in the reduced-risk products (RRPs) category. These products, owing to their beneficial claims, are largely being accepted by individuals trying to quit or reduce cigarette consumption. Philip Morris is one of the industry pioneers in driving the shift from cigarettes to RRPs. The company’s IQOS is one of the leading RRPs in the industry. IQOS was launched in the United States in 2019, through a commercial deal with Altria Group, Inc. MO that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We note that IQOS is currently the only heat-not-burn product in the U.S. market, which has been approved by the FDA.
Since the onset of the pandemic, the switch from smoking cigarettes to RRPs has been trending positively. Total users of IQOS at the end of third-quarter 2020 were estimated to be about 16.4 million globally. (So 16.4 million units x 100$ per unit = 1640000000$)
In the said quarter, revenues in the RRPs category increased 28.6% and formed a little more than 23% of the company’s top line.
The company expects consistent growth in the heated tobacco category, and therefore has been committed toward expanding these products. Earlier this month, the company’s IQOS 3 received authorization from the FDA for sale in the United States. The new device incorporates a number of technological improvements like enhanced battery life and quicker recharge. In prior efforts, the company started commercializing IQOS VEEV, which is its new product in the vapor category. The company also announced a partnership with South Korea’s KT&G earlier this year to commercialize the latter’s smoke-free products outside the country.
Clearly, such efforts are likely to keep bolstering Philip Morris’ revenues from the RRPs space. Markedly, the company is on track to achieve its 2021 goal of > 90-100 billion < (WOW) shipments of heated tobacco units. (end copy)
So...
HCMC is suing Philip Morris because HCMC developed the patent ("Q-Cup") that is the same technology being used in the IQOS system now being pushed heavily by Phillip Morris and was approved back in 2018.
https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/healthier-choices-management-corp-issued-three-u-s-patents-in-relation-to-its-q-cup-technology-1027675756
http://www.healthiercmc.com/news/2018/9/24/hcmc-announces-us-patent-for-its-q-cup-technology-will-be-granted-in-60-90-days
http://www.healthiercmc.com/patents https://theqcup.com/pages/patents
So for those who don’t know yet. Healthier Choice Management Corp (HCMC) are suing Philip Morris for copyright infringement on their (HCMC's) patent regarding (Phillip Morris's) IQOS - E cigarettes (now being sold like hotcakes by Phillip Morris.)
According to Phillip Morris they haven’t denied this fact by revealing they invested over 3 billion so far into marketing these new E-Cigarette products including the contested IQOS.
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2020/11/30/2136949/0/en/Healthier-Choices-Management-Corp-Files-Patent-Infringement-Lawsuit-Against-Philip-Morris.html
HCMC hired the law firm COZEN to pursue these claims. I have attached some links below for further research into the future value of E-cigarettes.
https://www.cozen.com/
If Philip Morris is found guilty and liable of patent infringement it means they illegally sold 16.4 million units of the IQOS system. + the 2021 goal of 100 billion units and any other profits linked to IQOS related profits would be forfeit and owed to HCMC in some form.
That is just mind blowing
Philip Morris is moving forward with their marketing campaign despite the lawsuit even receiving FDA approval for large scale sales of the IQOS system in the United States despite the HCMC lawsuit. If Phillip Morris are found guilty the more profit they make on the IQOS system in the end just digs Phillip Morris a deeper hole as a climbing pay back price tag.

A DD of my Portfolio Heavily invested in Penny Stocks

I'm going to do a quick overview and DD into my portfolio atm. I believe most of the stocks I'm invested in are highly undervalued and primed for moderate to extreme gains. My whole portfolio is not in penny stocks but a significant portion is and I think relevant to this sub. This is my first publicly posted DD and would welcome any criticism or corrections that any other market watchers or casual readers think would make it better. Disclosure of my owned shares and buy-in prices will be listed in this DD.

Cash Percentage - Undisclosed

AAPL (Apple INC) - 8 Shares Bought at 133.9893/Currently Valued at 136.76
Market Cap: 2.29T

Quick DD- On January 27th, 2021 Apple released its Q1 financial results, posting record revenue, up 21% year over year. However the day of this announcement the price fell because of all the GameStop hype. Hedge funds liquidating large portions of their portfolio in an attempt to join in the GME feeding frenzy or to help cover short losses, or create new short positions, pushed the whole market significantly down. At the time the stock was valued at 142.06, and with news of this monumental success for the company, the stock fell to 131.96 before beginning to recover. With news of their deal with Audi/Kia venture into the EV/Self-driving Car market and their previous quarters record earnings I expect the stock to recover in some way.

Low-End Scenario- AAPL rises to meet its old valuation as the market decides that despite its record earnings and new ventures it is only as valuable as before.
Sell Point: 142.00 Market Cap: 2.38T Gains: 3.8%
Mid End Scenario- AAPL rises past its old valuation as the market rewards it for its impressive quarterly performance.
Sell Point:146.00 Market Cap:2.45T Gains: 6.7%
High-End Scenario- Their venture into the EV & Self-driving Car market is greeted with delight and the companies valuation reflects investors' faith that Apple will reach a level in which it competes with GM, Tesla, and Volvo in this market as well. This would add the valuation of 1/4th of Tesla onto the company.
Sell Point:160.00 Market Cap:2.68T Gains: 17%
Worst Case- With Increased Volatility in the market centered around the SEC investigation and Retail traders putting pressure on hedge funds you might see blue-chip stocks such as AAPL decrease in value as the largest holders of these positions sell off to try and cover riskier bets.

Conclusion- Putting some amount of your portfolio into a blue-chip stock as a buffer and safer bet is never a bad thing. I also personally believe AAPL has a lot of room for growth and profit compared to other safe blue-chip alternatives.

CBDD (CBD of Denver Inc) - 30k Shares Bought at 0.029/Currently Valued at 0.027
Market Cap: 108M

Quick DD- CBD of Denver (CBDD) is a CBD production company, specializing in the sale of CBD products that don't contain the 420 Blaze it quality we are all familiar with. The majority of their sales currently come throught online sales via ([www.blackpearlcbd.com\](https://www.blackpearlcbd.com)). They also have plans to expand and monetize a CBD focused Social Network, I am personally very bearish on the Social Network Idea though I believe the rest of their business though is solid and currently Undervalued. Their are three major factors that I believe prime this company for a large jump in the future. While first-quarter revenue for 2021 has not been released yet, their revenue in Q4 of 2020 was 8.65M a 40% increase from their 5.96M Revenue in Q3. If they do not increase revenue any further and in fact regress back to Q3 Revenue levels of 5.96M the company itself is just straight undervalued. 5.96M per quarter is equivalent to a 24M yearly revenue, and a company making 24M a year is worth closer to 170M a 57.4% increase from it's current value. If its gains in revenue are more permanent or continue to increase the valuation of this company should easily hit the 300M mark within the next year. Secondly the new administration in the US I believe is much more likely to federally legalize marijuana in the states. This would be a huge boon to this company as a primed and ready entrant into this new market, and while competition may already exist, any increase in market size is primed to increase this companies value. Third CBDD has two subsidiaries in Switzerland (Rockflow, and GmbH&CBD Welt 24) which provide wholesale distribution throughout Europe. As the its member countries in the EU relax restrictions on Marijuana as well, CBDD is also primed to enter that market.

Low-End Scenario- CBDD slowly rises to a valuation more in line with their current revenue.
Sell Point:0.043 Market Cap:172.8M Gains: 62.7%
Mid End Scenario- CBDD rises to a valuation in line with its quarter over quarter revenue growth.
Sell Point:0.06 Market Cap:242M Gains: 222%
High-End Scenario- CBDD rises in valuation based on large revenue growth as the US legalizes marijuana, & European countries lower the barrier for entry of non-THC marijuana-related products.
Sell Point:0.125 Market Cap:500M Gains: 462%
Worst Case- As with any penny-stock CBDD may drop out of the market entirely leaving you with no gains at all.

Conclusion- I believe CBDD is primed to make a large jump in the 50% gains range with little to no change in its actual business, allowing those who buy in now to hold in hopes of Higher gains without risking losses.

HITIF (Hight Tide INC) - 2k Shares Bought at 0.446/Currently Valued at 0.611
Market Cap: 282.69M

Quick DD- Hightide is a conglomerate of many mid-sized marijuana dispensaries and distributors. Their Brands span from Canada to Amsterdam, as well as a recent acquisition CBDcity which has thrust them into the online marketplace as well. They not only distribute marijuana but also produce smoking products such as vapes and pipes. As with CBDD I believe the possible legalization federally in the US and the relaxing of restrictions in more EU countries will be a catalyst for increased revenue year over year. Their growth has been explosive, increasing quarterly. With assets valued at 78M alone, and profits in Q3 increasing 180% from the year before to 23.2M from 8.29M the year before, I believe it is currently valued correctly if there is no continuation of their growth. However, I believe the company will continue to grow especially if more and larger markets become available to them.

Low-End Scenario- HITIF loses momentum and stops growing, if this occurs the value is probably correctly gauged and the price will remain pretty stable.
Sell Point:0.6 Market Cap:277M Gains: -1.8%
Mid End Scenario- HITIF gains access to the US market gaining a solid hold.
Sell Point:2.16 Market Cap:1B Gains: 460%
High End- HITIF gains access to the US market and using its pre-existing infrastructure and experience operating, it gains a dominant hold on the US market.
Sell Point:8.65 Market Cap:4B Gains: 1443%
Worst Case- A shift in the Canadian market or laws makes HITIF inoperable putting it out of business

Conclusion- I believe HITIF has already reached a correct valuation for its current presence in the market, however, it's previously shown growth and the potential of new markets becoming available to it in the near future means the upside for this company is very large.

INND (Innerscope Hearing) - 50k Shares Bought at 0.011/Currently Valued at 0.0267
Market Cap: 92.27M

Quick DD- This DD has been posted a lot on pennystocks but here is my quick take on it. Four major factors for growth concerning this company, and comparisons to competitors Market Cap. Their main competitor in the hearing aid marketplace is EAR (Eargo Inc) who has a 2.5B Market Cap. They produce a cheaper product than this competition. While the product itself isn't cheap\* it is about 1k cheaper than EAR's flagship product. Secondly, they are launching a kiosk & point of sale network to help people figure out if they are hard of hearing and to push their product on those who are. Thirdly, and this is solely financial, they plan to become current in the near future allowing them to Uplist to larger exchanges with eyes towards the NASDAQ (though probably not anytime soon). Last but not least there currently are new Over the Counter laws coming into effect regarding hearing aids. INND is expecting 1000x sales growth when these laws come into effect. While I personally think these numbers are over-optimistic even fractional growth compared to 1000x is still a large win.

Low-End Scenario- INND gets current with their financials and opens themselves up to larger scale investing.
Sell Point:0.04 Market Cap:138.2M Gains: 53.8%
Mid End Scenario- INND gains a foothold in the Hearing aid Market, while not overtaking EAR they do become a staple in pharmacies and large retailers. 1/4th size of EAR
Sell Point:0.2 Market Cap:691.2M Gains: 769%
High-End Scenario- INND becomes EAR's largest competitor equaling if not beating them into the new OTC (over the counter) market as well as providing large competition in the prescription space.
Sell Point:0.8 Market Cap:2.76B Gains: 3076%
Worst Case- INND does not get current with its filings and the OTC law does not come into effect how they believed it would. This forces share dilution as they try to raise capital to continue research, and apply for FDA approval again.

Conclusion- I believe of all the stocks I will discuss here this is the most likely to bottom out completely, however, I also believe it has the most room to grow. INND has solid optimism around it and even just getting current with their filings will likely lead to short-term gains for any investor, not including any business side news. They have a legitimate shot at becoming the largest player in the hearing aid marketplace, and if they achieve this their valuation would likely equal EAR if not possibly expand beyond them if these OTC laws increase the 14.4billion dollar market. With large gains possible on little risk, I believe it is worth investing a small part of your portfolio here at least.

USDR (UAS Drone Corp) - 2k Shares Bought at 0.445/Currently Valued at 0.79
Market Cap:31.66M

Quick DD- UAS Drone Corp is the least public-facing of the companies I am going to discuss today. They are a drone company, however, they have no focus on the retail space, they design Drones for military use. This lack of a public-facing element is the reason why researching them was the hardest of any company on this list. However, as recently as last year they were valued at 560M based on production contracts. As those reached their end dates the valuation of the company plummeted to 2.4M. I believe this was an extreme overcorrection. They have recently reached a production deal with Elbit in which they will receive royalty payments from the production of TIKAD units on a mass scale. The deal stipulates the agreement is valid for 15 more years following UAS Drone Corps receiving 50M in revenue from sales. They have also been in talks with the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) for orders. I believe personally that if Israel believes these drones are combat-ready, other countries will also jump on board, specifically Saudi Arabia, The USA, and EU staples like Germany and France. They also have pre-existing contracts for an "undisclosed project" in the Asia Pacific region. The non-specificity of this is worrying, but based on the equipment it produces I believe it exists at the discretion of the customer not so much the company. With just the current Deals in place, I believe the company is criminally undervalued and has been spiking day over day, which I expect to continue.

Low-End Scenario- USDR increases in value based on its current contract with Elbit.
Sell Point:1.5 Market Cap:60m Gains: 89.8%
Mid End Scenario- USDR's deal in the Asia Pacific region is disclosed to the public, or their production deal with Israel goes through.
Sell Point:5 Market Cap:200m Gains: 633%
High-End Scenario- Israel's use of the Tikad equipped drone sets an example for other modern militaries galvanizing a large influx of customers.
Sell Point:16 Market Cap:640M Gains: 2025%
Worst Case- The Israeli deal falls through, as well the Asian Pacific Deal, making their royalty agreement worthless with Elbit. As the companies main intellectual property becomes worthless the company crashes back to its lowest levels.

Conclusion- I believe that the contacts USDR already has in the military-industrial complex based on years of operation within it will serve it well as it works its way back into the market. If only a few of the deals go through the company would instantly be insanely more valuable than it's currently considered, and the high end of this is a new force in the market producing small drones with military-grade equipment for ground combat, doing things to dangerous for soldiers to do themselves.

I hope some of this is helpful to you. I wrote this mostly for myself and review, however, so please criticize, correct and disagree where you think points are wrong, poorly made, poorly written, or uninformed.

A compilation of post-inauguration reactions from QAnon group chats

These are excerpts from a few private QAnon group chats that I observe. I originally posted these on the megathread. They're listed roughly in the order the comments were made, immediately following the inauguration ceremony and through the next day. I made significant effort to vet that these comments are not from trolls or bots. You can really see the narrative-building in action throughout these comments.
Pt. 1 (1/20 afternoon)

We’re are all the mass arrests? Oh my gosh I’ve wasted so much time in rabbit holes and nothing to show for it but making me look like a complete idiot. I am livid and sad today.

Aren't we supposed to have faith? I have a hard time believing that Sidney Powell and Gulliani have played their reputations on the line and General Flynn knows what comes next if they don't move. But remember, the military is in charge

Can’t believe all that never really listened or believed... pathetic behavior of so called patriots... giving up now means you never believed to begin with.. you hoped.

What if president Trump was part of it.... they tricked us

So I have listen to what was said and how this was a plan to take back our country and Trump would be our President and not Biden. So nothing has happened and Biden is President now. There was talk about the Military would take care of this and nothing is happening. I think that Q was BULLSHIT and hasn't been heard from for months. So we are ALL fucked and we will be labeled as traitors . Good luck with the Q BS

This is where we find the real patriots from the band wagon patriots. Faith. Have faith. hold the line

its not over until its over, waiting on the EBS, who is with me?

I refuse to believe that Trump would walk away and leave us with all these injustices. He knows of all their crimes. I’m sure there has to be some kind of military plan we don’t know about. I’m not gonna say hold the line but I am going to say pray.

Don't you all think this has been a way the ds kept Trump supporters and conservatives suppressed and away from standing up and worse to compile a list of all so called dissenters??

I have not lost hope.. I have followed a for more then 2 years.. will not lose faith.. even if arrests dont happen I will always have faith in the American Patriots in our country :flag_us::flag_us::purple_heart::purple_heart:

I never said I knew the layout for the day I only know the fight isn't over. DJT said the best is yet to come yesterday. I have faith. I am a true patriot. I will never run. I fear no evil.

I have one more ounce of hope. Mike pompeo came on to do his final address on national tv at exactly 1:21 yesterday.

I'm disappointed that codemonkeyz seems to have thrown in the towel and is working on "something" that he's going to try to sell, but i must be crazy....i still have faith! i've lost friendships, my own husband thinks i'm bonkers, so i'm dug in now. God wins, no matter what, so i'll continue to be kooky until it's the end

I have faith but now my husband has lost it threatening to live or just shoot his self

I'm willing to lay my life down for my children and grand children's freedom. But we've been lied to for so long. I can't be the only one answering texts right now from the ones who doubted us to begin with.

they are getting away arrest them now

People the military is in control now. It might take them a couple of months to get all the perps,but it's coming people, it's coming!!!

They are all in cars. Going to detention center?

Well this offically is my last day in the group i have followed this for over 3 years to be slapped in the face with the reality that i am crazy and this was all bullshit.

Look.. is Q a joke on us Patriots ? I think we are all Q.. a family of Q.. whether or not Q was created by Dems.. Q brought us Patriots all together.. helped us to find faith.. showed us we weren't alone.. gave us extended family.. if Dems created Q it backfired on them.. I for one am proud of my "family" :blush::flag_us::purple_heart:

I am not trying to be negative I still have the faith but as far as holding the line I don't know supposedly have Chinese military men sitting on the border of Canada and the United States and Mexico and the United States just waiting for buying to take office to infiltrate our country makes no sense to me I just never dreamed in a million years that all these people that we followed and believed would desert us the way they have no no nothing no communication what are we supposed to do let China come in and take a take over our country commonly in Harris's already said that we need to take our they need to take our children from us and re-educate them in camps why has FEMA set up camps

Really??? Being a Patriot and believing in Trump. But being lied to by Q, watching your election stolen, all 3 branches lost. They will undo everything we fought for and we can't stop them. So if I am PO'd with others we are allowed to vent and yell if we must.

This movie sucked. I want my money back. Im afraid to watch the credits

Just like a death, it will take time to recover. I knew our politics was LOST. I put so much hope in this Q stuff. Now it has let me down. Sorry if I feel hopeless unless we go to war

When things fall in place and happens like we were told.. how many that are calling it quits, bashing the information you were given... will be claiming that you knew it would happen all along? Can kind of understand how Jesus must of felt on the cross and just a very few were left there still believing....

Where's Q, E, Flynn, Juan O seven, Charlie Ward, Simon Parkes, Sydney Powell, Lynn Woods, Pompeo, Trump, Mike Lidell, Rudy? Anybody making statements on 4 years of playing dungeons and dragons???

Let's wait in 3 days and see what happens. Jesus rose again in three days.

This is how i feel. . . If Things were not to go as planned (trust the plan) Trump or Pompeo or Gen Flynn, or SOMEONE like them, would say to the MILLIONS of us "ok guys, stop the nonsense, it's over" BUT, they have not. They have continued to say, "it is not over" so I still have faith in the plan.

I was bothered by the fact that the video of DJ and Melania getting off the plane was shot blurry and from so far away. Also they were wearing masks which I thought was strange.

You guys have become like an AA group or something for me. My family won't speak to me, my friends now think I'm nuts. The media is calling us terrorists....Jesus, let's see some resolution before it gets irreparable.

My internet keeps glitching, and every time I get excited thinking its transitioning to the EBS

Pt.2 1/20 evening

I just dumped genhyten channel.... EBS. ... then... "remember something might go wrong".... then 45 min.... Ummmm.... ain't buying it.... something might go wrong.. yeah.. .I bet it does and no EBS coming.

What about the fact they swore in the fake joe Biden. I thought the other one with the bum chin would show up to get sworn in. I always figured this dumber joe was just to take a bullet.

Military took control once Biden went through the act of swearing in. Once the constitution was violated by participating and accepting a fraudulent election, the military took over the reigns without needing to do it with a coup.

I have nothing to watch on TV anymore. I can't watch the news. They lie. I cant watch sitcoms and movies because I know the lies and satanism of Hollywood. I can't watch Baseball because they support BLM and the false narrative. NO NFL period. Alot is changing for me.

Trump has said so many encouraging things just in the last couple of days, short of telling us exactly when he will be back.

Nothing Biden does to revoke any orders, to put any new laws in place... none of it will be legal. That’s why the military had their backs facing as he drove by. That’s why he didn’t have the presidential plane pick him up. They know it’s not legit.

Exactly! That inauguration was just sad...fake happy KH is the only one who looked like she was ready to party..

I have heard something about Trump being officially our president again March 4, because it takes 30-45 days I’ve heard this in a few places over the last month or two.

He had to step aside so the Military can take over. Otherwise, he would he accused of using the military to stage a coup

I found out with the oath, he actually didn't say it all. He skipped most of the oath and was sworn in at least 10 minutes before the inauguration was supposed to happen, meaning Trump was still president!!

wouldnt it be funny if we keep waiting for the next milestone and voila, its 2024 that would suck

I have to admit, I don’t understand what people mean when they say we are watching a movie.

I did not let my kids go to school today(even though its only virtual only since they are closed for covid) bc I just knew they were going to teach them about it today after yesterday in my daughters 2nd grade class they made her watch their acceptance speech. So they learned from me today. Its so horrible we are having to protect our kids from school!!

I can wait till jan 27th at 306 pm (second marker) can you. I have hope in all this .

So does the corporation dissolve at midnight?

Going down tomorrow to unregister to vote. Doesn't "F"ing matter anymore they've made that perfectly clear. Q was a psyop the whole time...

Hey all you left over Q nut jobs...where were all of these mass arrests at today? Where were the Marshals Service out making all these arrests of the Clinton’s and Obama and others? Where is the martial law that was supposed to have kicked in with the 20,000 National Guard troops at the inauguration? You delusional fucks have been preaching that shit for the last 6 months. So what happened??? Could it be that “Q” was actually wrong? Or could it be that you are all just bat shit crazy?

Okay, well, I'm guessing that you haven't figured out that the real "Q" isn't online. In fact, the real "Q" is Military Intelligence and is never online. I'm guessing you also haven't figured out that Social Media sites like this one are full of leftist shills posing as Trump supporters. Their task: to make us look as stupid and crazy as they can in order to discredit us so that we can be more easily demonized. It's a tactic straight out of the leftist handbook. Anyway, now you know.

I have a feeling this is not over yet. Something in my gut.... I'm holding onto the hopes that the military is going to let the new administration run amok until the March 4th real inauguration day.. How much more dirt will pile up on these guys when they think they got the keys to the kingdom..

Looks like everything is right on schedule. Insurrection act is in effect. Flynn is in charge. USA Inc dissolved. Hold on a little longer. March 4th will be our day. I hate promised dates as much as you do but this will all be over soon.

The wrinkled flags with the gold hair around them for the speech, was a farewell speech to the american corporation, we will be back was our signal to hang in there its almost over. Because when he comes up we will have our America without the corporation and he will be sworn in as the 19th president of America the country before it fell to the global corporation. The election fraud is significant and will be overturned. The PRE RECORDED INAUGURATION was aired at 7am in spain which is 1am in Washington D.C is district of colombia(NOT USA SOIL) in which the gates with the locks on the outside of the fence are a signal of no ones leaving. President Trump is still the president, hes just letting his best friends named the military handle this one. Best is yet to come, is we are getting our republic that we fought for in 1776 BACK. Not the globalist Corporation we needed because of debt. JUST HANG IN THERE AND BLOCK THE FUCKIN TROLLS. There was no flag flying because there is NO ACTING PRESIDENT, FEMA leaders are president and vice president while the swamp is drained.

I had to calm down.....x22 and the Marshall report made it clearer to me. Never doubted my President, but I didn’t understand the complexities.....I’m in awe of Donald Trump🇺🇸

Have faith in the Plan...look it up...the District of Columbia is a Sovereign State owned by the Vatican which is in the process of having it"s assets stripped. There will be a new capital of the US of A and Trump will be the Overlord or King...to be decided. Biden is just the President of the Corporation...hold the line and stick to the Plan...no violence :flag_gb::flag_gb:

Type in antifa. Com like on Google and it redirects you to the White House

Barbara only communist sympathizers are on fascistbook 🤡

Were at war people All you scum mfs who let that shit in our country fk u forever fk u i stand for the people whos sacrificed whos died from fighting the very thing u mfs let in fk u foever people like bon jovi garth brooks fk u come around me you fking socialist scum fk u u just steped on the very people whos sacrificed for our freedoms fk u We are not backing down its inly gonna get fking worse people died for me ill die for them

Pt. 3, 1/21

I just watched Simons video today. Its reassuring that they WERE planning on arresting all of them on inaguration, but very upsetting that they are threating the lives of hundreds, to maybe up to thousands of people just to not get arrested. I cant wait for the military to fix the problem, find a bomb maybe, get around their threat and kill these satanist, terrorist, pedophilic, group of people. The day i see them all get executed will be the best day of my life. They threaten america, they are going to die.

The democrats threatened the military so they wouldnt arrest them. Peoples lives are at stake. Thats why they arrent moving in to arrest them yet.

May have gotten a little drunk last night and stayed up until 3:30 a.m. seemed to be a popular idea though.... I am usually in bed by 8 or 9 p.m. but the day seemed to call for some " think in drink in " anyone else? The guy at the liquor store said that everyone seemed to be doing the same thing yesterday.....
Q has done more to put Biden in office than all the other leftist groups combined.

Not believing in Q or WWG1WGA is like the Catholic Church not wanting peasants to know how to read.

Anyone else notice the hunger games dresses all the women were wearing yesterday? Symbolism will be their downfall. I need to watch that movie again.

i just want the EBS to kick in, that is all i dont care when, but just kick in

I think right now we all have to keep this between us for a while longer. It will unfold soon enough. Think of it as a delicious secret.

Folks all I know is, this is the BESTEST GROUP I have ever been in bar none. I've been in groups from AOL,YAHOO, and others and the diversity of people and the comments makes for a tight knit group, which I love to come into and express my opinions and listen to yours. I love you all!!!:heart::heart::heart:

I bet those 50,000 people are feeling the impact of this military fake goverment. It’s such a HUGE ELABORATE plan that the job loss and the military family threats is all part of the storm. How long! How long will this go on! I’m asking genuine questions. Does Biden have that power LR. the military. It’s one or the other. Can’t be both!

Red 4,5,6 didn’t happen! Total BS. When someone tells you to Hold the Line, they’re saying STFU, stay home, and do what you’re told, or else! Sorry, I never bought the Q BS. 26 years military told me you never tell the enemy anything publicly, and disinformation, although smart, what Q and Dave told us was to give us false hope and demoralize us. Folks, if you watch Newsmax, OAN, and read Epoch Times you will be much more informed. You know why the conservative news isn’t talking about Q and X22? Because they would lose their fan base. Die hard conservatives who are hooked on Q and X22 don’t wanna hear negativity, but are now pissed they got played! Thank your CIA for that. Now use that anger and let ’s do stuff to take our country back!

I really don’t like not hearing from President Trump. The best part about COVID was seeing him talk every night. You know, in the beginning.

Can anyone tell me why the military is now breaking down equipment, fencing, and troops being transported out of DC? I ask because I thought they were supposed to be in charge now. My son's company is returning to Ft Andrews

What happen to Sydney Powell. She fell off the face of earth.

I'm guessing Sydney Powell is sitting quietly in the wings, seeing as she is a military lawyer

Gonna sign off today. I still have faith in The Plan. I did NOT see a defeated man step on or off of that plane. Hope that you all find some peace. Im going to eat some POPCORN!!!

I think inauguration was possible cgi. For some reason Jill B shoes were tan then a bit later they were teal and then a bit later they were tan again. Strange

I spent a good bit of time this morning adding a dislike to every Biden video I could find on yt

Everybody should (gently) troll FB group “the other 98%” Debunk all their propaganda post with facts that expose the fake news. Maybe we can wake up a few of the sleepers!

So yall say to fill tubs. We have grinder pumps. Without power the fill up what do we do then??

While everyone is listening to that Hunter video thumbs down all the white house vids there aren't many! Keep disliking them its easy we can do that from home we are in and out of these vids all day

So who saw the satanic ritual video floating about with Trump at the end saying he was part of the club but he got out. I thought nobody got out alive?

Soooo ok the military is drawing down in DC. So yes its over. So what lies you all selling today

I learned that following any of these X22, Simon Parks, Charlie wood etc .. they have good content that can make sense but why on earth would anything they are predicting come true? They are openly talking on platforms that anyone n everyone can access. Trump, MIlitary, Top notch strategy intel won’t be shared publicly in any way shape or form! They are good at decoding Q that’s it. The rest of their time lines are BS

What matters is that Biden is on House Arrest in the White House and is under investigation. Him, Pelosi, and all involved will fall. The swamp will be drained, hopefully..peacefully, otherwise the military will restore order. I however am full of rage I would love to unleash, but watching them get a taste of their own bullshit will be just as satisfying.

Flatten the Curve. Part 87. NSA documents call us Zombies. GHCQ documents pretty much threaten us. This is the System running simulations that manipulate us. Do you trust them? I don't. Get ahead of the curve.

Part 85 here
Alright. Alright. Alright. Let's keep digging further into the rabbit hole of a weaponized simulation being used to manipulate societal behavior by the Technocrat Surveillance State.
First of all. PClick on the link. Take a look. This is what they call us. ZOMBIES Source Here

According to internal NSA documents seen by SPIEGEL, the NSA has focused on accessing smartphone data. In a secret presentation, the agency ironically uses an image from the iconic Apple Macintosh ad aired during 1984 Superbowl, which referenced the George Orwell book "1984." The presentation went on to show Steve Jobs as "Big Brother." The NSA documents indicate that the agency can access a wide variety of iPhone geolocation features and other data.The implication of the presentation is that iPhone users are somehow complicit in their own surveillance by buying iPhones in the first place.

And do you know what you can do with zombies? Click and drop them wherever you want and lead them to where you need them to be. Because zombies really aren't dangerous, despite all the entertainment showing otherwise. They're only dangerous of you don't control the environment around you. If you fall asleep at the wheel. Which is why they're running simulations with Sentient World Simulation and manipulating our behaviour. So how deep does the data gathering go? Really deep.

We're All In This Together

NSA whistleblower Drake says the problem is that both CSEC and the NSA lack proper oversight, and without it, they have morphed into runaway surveillance. "There is a clear and compelling danger to democracy in Canada by virtue of how far these secret surveillance operations have gone." Much of the document contains hyper-sensitive operational details which CBC News has chosen not to make public.Wesley Wark, a Canadian security and intelligence expert at the University of Ottawa, says the document makes it clear Canada can take advantage of its relatively benign image internationally to covertly amass a vast amount of information abroad. Source Here

So we're all part of the same team. The Five Eyes.
So think about it. USA. Canada. Britain. Australia. New Zealand. Our Governments collect all our data and then pump it into a simulation like SEAS, before letting an algorithm do it's thing and shape our incoming data to mold our behaviors. Proof? Sort of. Those massive data centers in Utah aren't there as decoration. We have proof of behavioural manipulating studies done by Facebook. And we also have proof of an extremely advanced simulation. This isn't a leap to say that they use this apparatus against us. Is it?

The NSA and GCHQ have traded recipes for various purposes such as grabbing location data and journey plans that are made when a target uses Google Maps, and vacuuming up address books, buddy lists, phone logs and geographic data embedded in photos posted on the mobile versions of numerous social networks such as Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn, Twitter and other services. In a separate 20-page report dated 2012, GCHQ cited the popular smartphone game "Angry Birds" as an example of how an application could be used to extract user data. Taken together, such forms of data collection would allow the agencies to collect vital information about a user's life, including his or her home country, current location (through geolocation), age, gender, ZIP code, marital status, income, ethnicity, sexual orientation, education level, number of children, etc. A GCHQ document dated August 2012 provided details of the Squeaky Dolphin surveillance program, which enables GCHQ to conduct broad, real-time monitoring of various social media features and social media traffic such as YouTube video views, the Like button on Facebook, and Blogspot/Blogger visits without the knowledge or consent of the companies providing those social media features. The agency's "Squeaky Dolphin" program can collect, analyze and utilize YouTube, Facebook and Blogger data in specific situations in real time for analysis purposes. The program also collects the addresses from the billions of videos watched daily as well as some user information for analysis purposes.

Whelp. They sure are like an octopus with their tentacles in everything, aren't they? And I do mean everything, isn’t that right Bill get the jab Gates?
Why on earth would they need this data unless they were using it? They wouldn't. Now the problem becomes, how are they using it? Remember, they want to launch the Internet of Things so they can watch everything. Do you know who else watched everything? Jeffery Epstein.

Giuffre adds that Epstein had hidden cameras everywhere in his homes—massage rooms, bedrooms, showers, toilets. “Every single corner of that house was monitored,” she says. “He was watching everyone all the time. This was a blackmail scheme.… When he told me, ‘People owe me favors’ and ‘I will never get caught’ and ‘I can get away with things,’ he meant it.”

Ransome claims that she was raped by Epstein her first night on the island, and continued to be abused by him throughout the trip. With no way to leave, Ransome said that she even “tried to escape”—making her way to a remote part of the island. But Epstein found her “almost immediately.” Ransome said, “I knew then that I was being watched 24/7.” Source Here

That doesn't look good for living in a omnipresent surveillance state does it. And hey, didn't Jeffery hang out with Bill Gates quite a bit?

Microsoft handed the NSA access to encrypted messages • Secret files show scale of Silicon Valley co-operation on Prism • Outlook.com encryption unlocked even before official launch • • Skype worked to enable Prism collection of video calls • Company says it is legally compelled to comply • Material collected through Prism is routinely shared with the FBI and CIA, with one NSA document describing the program as a "team sport". Source Here

Yep. Birds a feather, as they say.
So the material is collected through Prism? So now when they say Prism, I'm pretty sure they mean to indicate a light source on one side and a rainbow coming out the other side, right? Makes sense, doesn't it? And a rainbow is a collection of colors. Hmmmm. I feel like I have a revolutionary thought coming on.
Color revolutions! You know, like the kind that swept the middle east. Isn't that funny? Not really, but you know what I mean. Because these guys love just making it obvious, don't they? Why? Because we're all a bunch of zombies, that's why!
And a funny thing happens when you start to dive into some of the revolutionary protests. You start to see a link between where China increases trade with a country, and right around the same time the protests spontaneously start up!
What a coincidence!
The Egyptian revolution of 2011, also known as the 25 January Revolution (Arabic: ثورة 25 يناير‎; Thawrat khamsa wa-ʿišrūn yanāyir),[21] started on 25 January 2011 and spread across Egypt.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_revolution_of_2011
Recognizing that the current trade volume heavily favors China, both sides committed to work to improve Egypt’s share of the balance of trade. The volume of Sino-Egyptian trade reached $8.8 billion in 2011, a 26% increase from 2010. Source Here
I'm only going to give one example, but there are more. These are color revolutions all right, but they're the color of money. Remember, the Sentient World Simulation can simulate over 60 countries at once, and that's what they're willing to tell us. How much do you want to bet the real capacity is beyond top secret?
And what happened in Russia and China im 2011?

The 2011 Chinese pro-democracy protests (simplified Chinese: 中国茉莉花革命; traditional Chinese: 中國茉莉花革命) or (simplified Chinese: 伟大的中华茉莉花革命; traditional Chinese: 偉大的中華茉莉花革命) refers to a series of minor public assemblies at some cities in China starting on 20 February 2011, inspired by and named after the Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia and the wider Arab Spring.

The 2011–2013 Russian protests (which some English language media referred to as the Snow Revolution)[14] began in 2011 (as protests against the 2011 Russian legislative election results) and continued into 2012 and 2013. The protests were motivated by claims by Russian and foreign journalists, political activists and members of the public that the election process was flawed.[15] The Central Election Commission of Russia stated that only 11.5% of official reports of fraud could be confirmed as true.

Revolutions sure became popular all over the planet (and by planet I mean Africa, the Middle East, and Asia) all at once. Yep. They caught the Democracy Virus! They want FREEDOM! They want to be able to leave their countries...uhm, don't we get a lot of Chinese tourists over in North America? Strange. But isn't it a dictatorship that...you know what, never mind. FREEDOM!
Now if I'm right and they're using the internet to manipulate all of us based off of running simulations, it might just put a different spin as to why Russia and China have tried to block the internet into their countries. Just a thought. They wouldn't want their populations being manipulated, would they? Nope.

Beijing has not completely blacked out reporting on the uprising in Egypt. Instead, the Chinese government is funneling coverage of the protests through state-run television and the official Xinhua News Agency. However, the coverage that reaches Chinese citizens focuses primarily on the "lawlessness and anarchy" in Egypt's streets."What they are putting in the foreground is the chaos and the upheaval," Joerg Rudolph, a political scientist at the East Asian Institute of the University of Applied Sciences in Ludwigshafen, told Deutsche Welle. "This way they are showing that it's bad when these kinds of protests happen. We have to preserve stability. It's always the same. Stability has to be preserved and that's always the stability of the ruling elite in the country." Source Here

Oh. China has to preserve the stability of the ruling elite? Gotcha. Sure is a good thing that doesn't happen in North America! Could you imagine having controversial elections, rioting or protests, and then armed soldiers on the street! Thank goodness we have fact checks to save us from fake news!
Here's another strange thing about revolutions. They're all in the eye of the beholder. One man's Revolution is another man's Terrorism. Take Xinjiang and the Uighurs. I'm not saying they don't have re-education camps. They do. China admits it. I will say that I don't know how bad the situation is. But I will also say, middle eastern drones sure do have a lot of collateral damage, don't they? And North America is suddenly starting to get very concerned about domestic terrorism, aren't they? Wait. Isn’t that what China claims to be concerned about in Xinjiang as well? Hmmm. They must be worried about corporations like Apple and Nike being targeted.
Ok. Back on point. Simulations. The internet. Data. Shaping our perception. Molding our behaviors based on a computer program. They input data and then they output information for us to consume. Revolutions? Racial tensions? Apathy. The alarming mimicry online? Yeah. Simulations at work. And guess what? It's going to get worse. Because the more we become connected through the internet of things, the more data they receive, and the more data they receive, the better the simulations become, and the better the simulations become, the more they can exert their influence through programming us with content. It really is becoming very clear why they want 5G rolled out so quickly and why they have such a problem with Huawei, isn't it?
But at least our Surveillance Simulation State is only here for the benefit of Western Society. Right?

Snowden provided journalists at The Intercept with GCHQ documents regarding another secret program "Karma Police", calling itself "the world's biggest" data mining operation, formed to create profiles on every visible Internet user's browsing habits. By 2009 it had stored over 1.1 trillion web browsing sessions, and by 2012 was recording 50 billion sessions per day. The goal of the program, according to the documents, was "either (a) a web browsing profile for every visible user on the internet, or (b) a user profile for every visible website on the internet." *Karma Police was apparently named after the Radiohead song "Karma Police", which includes the lyric "This is what you’ll get when you mess with us". *

So just think. First the EMPLOYEES call us ZOMBIES, and then they use a song title that has the lyrics, THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL GET WHEN YOU MESS WITH US. Charming. And then Bill Gates hands the data to the state. And Bill's old pal Epstien loved to use surveillance to find runaway victims to rape. And these are the guys who are funding scientists and research? Scary thought. And what's scarier? How about all the headlines about what the models are showing in regards to the pandemic. Because a model is simply another word for a simulation. And we have evidence for a massive simulation being run. And we have evidence for the Club of Rome simulation being the basis for our current climate crisis decision policies. And we don't need a simulation to start questioning the motives of people who are funding these operations.
Whistleblowers have warned us. We've listened. Now we have to start making other people listen. Because no matter what, the simulations aren't perfect and they can't account for every possible outcome. And that's what each and everyone us are, another possible outcome.
Go viral. Be an outcome.
More soon. Keep your head up and eyes open. Talk soon.

BevCanna: A big opportunity

First of all: This is translated from a German article which reports on a stock that has risen over 100% since the last report. Now it is about to explode and I wanted to let you know about it, as I am very grateful for the GME profits. (Btw i put the german version + a TL;DR version at the end and sorry for my german school english, I'm also just a retard like you)

Is this the last call today, the actual last call before an all-changing licensing at BevCanna, which according to plan will launch the first cannabis-containing beverages as early as Q1 2021.
In case of success right now a tremendously big share price opportunity! The clock is ticking...
After today now twelve (!!!) weeks since the start of the "Final Review" process of the Canadian health authority "Health Canada", a license that changes everything for BevCanna is probably definitely more than overdue. This could trigger the departure from penny-stock existence for the BevCanna share.
Many investors were already speculating last week that the license would be granted, allowing BevCanna to launch its long-developed cannabis-infused beverage brands (water, iced tea, sodas, etc.). Experts see an incredibly large market and BevCanna is, in our opinion, the best positioned company among micro caps in the cannabis beverage segment.
This past weekend, the Canadian health authorities announced the first license grants in 2021. BevCanna was not (yet) on the list, the disappointment was obviously high among some investors, some doubted a license grant in general, the share price "buckled". An update on the granting of the license came after the weekend, which clearly indicates that it could already be this weekend and the granting of the license is generally not to be questioned anyway.
"Health Canada has confirmed that while BevCanna has experienced a short delay in processing the license, final discussions regarding the issuance of the standard processing license are nearing completion."
Read more here: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/BEV:CNX/news/8217538099338517/BevCanna_Addresses_Progress_on_Health_Canada_Standard_Processing_Licence_Issuance
In our opinion, the chances of betting on a final farewell to the penny-stock existence and thus perhaps even getting a potential tenbagger into the portfolio are actually enormously high. No company known to us is so well positioned for a successful brand launch in a market that is just emerging into the billions (according to the experts' assessment). Everything is in place, including a large, state-of-the-art factory with an initial annual bottling capacity of over 200 million bottles.
The only thing left to do is to get the green light from Health Canada. In our opinion, there is no question that the traffic light will soon change to green. The only question we have now is whether the all-important license, which is a complete gamechanger for BevCanna, will come this coming weekend or perhaps the following weekend. In principle, however, it (almost) doesn't matter if we assume that it will come. Only the share price is likely to be at a completely different level after an announcement, which is why we think the smart investor should have a position in the portfolio right now.
We definitely do not believe that the share will be cheaper again. The uncertainty mentioned at the beginning after the last weekend, whether a license will come at all, was insofar even quite fantastic, that we have now seen once again an entry opportunity of under $ 1.00 (CDN), which is to be used today!!!
We consider the current situation as a great opportunity, and possibly, no, - we mean even very likely - the last big chance before the official license receipt, which is truly a big gamechanger for BevCanna. We expect the receipt of this license to mean goodbye to being a penny stock, forever!
By the way, do you know of a fitness drink called Celsius? -Probably not, the brand is still virtually unknown in Europe to date. In North America, the "fitness freaks" know it. Why are we telling you this!? - The company Celsius started on the stock market as a penny stock, the stock was listed similar to BevCanna once in the low penny range at prices around $0.14 (US). Today, the company is on the Nasdaq, Celsius' stock stands at around $56.00 and the valuation brings over $4 billion to the stock market scales. With Celsius, many may have initially doubted that a new energy drink would even have a chance in the market. But long-range planning and the capital needed for growth made it happen! Do you think a similar scenario for BevCanna is far-fetched? - We don't, and we're obviously not alone in that opinion:
Million investment: Almost 80% above current price! Why?
Obviously, accredited investors believe that the chances are much better than "just taking a few percent". They invested millions in BevCanna only in January, and this at a valuation that is almost 80% above the current share price (accredited investors paid $1.50 (CDN; approx. 0.97 €) and thus a premium of over 70% to the last closing price). So we are probably not alone with the bet on the farewell of the penny stock! The investors put $3.5 million (CDN) on the table for their investment! Do you think they were complete idiots, dreamers or lunatics? Rather, we believe they were strategically astute investors with their sights set on the very big picture, which may even look similar to the Celsius picture at some point.
Read on here for our latest update on the big BevCanna bet and why we think it should be especially worthwhile to get in right now:
Parallel record sales with "side business"
Last week, the cannabis-infused beverage developer, which is expected to have at least one major brand launch in Q1 2021 after receiving a necessary license from Canadian health authorities, reported record sales from its "side business," online sales of Pure Therapy branded nutritional supplements, which is apparently becoming increasingly successful:
BevCanna's Pure Therapy Reports Record Monthly Revenue
HERE to the news story: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/BEV:CNX/news/5391986384654085/BevCannas_Pure_Therapy_Reports_Record_Monthly_Revenue
For this year, management expects high revenues in the millions and positive EBITDA from e-commerce activities for these products alone, as January is already said to have started extremely positively, as was reported a few days ago.
Besides the license, the second big bet: one of Canada's emerging water brands
In addition to the big bet on obtaining the license, which would be a significant gamechanger for BevCanna, investors are also speculating on the acquisition of Naturo Group and thus on the purchase of one of Canada's new and quite promising water brands: TRACE! The strongly rising mark becomes in Canada for its special and by the Canadian health authorities certified Fulvin and Huminstoffformulieren onnfensensichtlich ever larger, because TRACE is already distributed in completely Canada over retailers, hereunder also of the well-known Seven Eleven! By mid-February at the latest, the "closing of the landmark acquisition of Naturo Group, which has assets worth more than $37 million" is now expected to be completed!
"According to the latest independent valuation report on Naturo dated January 2021, the enterprise value of Naturo is between CAD 37 and 38 million."
The completion of the Naturo acquisition should also trigger a correspondingly strong market reaction. At the current stage, we see considerable opportunities for disproportionately high gains and therefore believe that the BevCanna share belongs in the portfolio of every highly speculative investor who, like the large alcohol giant Constellation Brands, internationally successful breweries (including German) or Hollywood star and entrepreneur Gwyneth Paltrow, is betting on the future success of cannabis-containing beverages.
In fact, we see BevCanna's stock price and also valuation already in the next few weeks more on par with a The Very Good Good Company ($7.08, valuation $683 million; CDN) or at least an Else Nutrition ($3.57, valuation $338 million; CDN). There are some valid reasons for this assumption just with the keywords market hose, cannabis beverages, licensing and "trace" water.
Strategic funders from the beverage industry!?
By the way: It has not yet been possible to find out whether the investors in the aforementioned capital injection may even be strategic investors from the beverage industry. The #1 market leader in cannabis beverages in the USA (Keef Brands) recently acquired a stake in BevCanna. International beverage companies like Oettinger or alcohol companies like Constellation Brands already relied on the expertise of the Canadians in the cannabis sector in the past.
BevCanna: Extremely high chances of significant gains
BevCanna's stock is a penny stock. However, the stock has been in rally mode for several weeks and, in our opinion, now has the potential to give the market a good shake-up over the next few weeks and ensure significant gains in the portfolio. The US market leader in the sector officially acquired a stake in BevCanna just before the turn of the year. In these days even a million investment with a price premium of nearly 50% was locked.
These are two very big events that, if you open your analytical eye, are probably quite foreseeable and should turn BevCanna into a company that is then the focus of the mainstream, virtually overnight. BevCanna could become the market leader in an industry that has been the talk of the town, especially recently: Cannabis 2.0. The company has been preparing for a long time, developing brands, investing millions to be able to reap the big harvest. With THC- and CBD-containing beverages (lemonades, iced tea, infused water, etc.), they want to become the leading company in the industry.
Alcohol giant Constellation Brands or Hollywood star and entrepreneur Gwyneth Paltrow obviously have the same belief: "Cannabis beverages are the future"
Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow had invested in this emerging industry just before the end of 2020 and sees cannabis drinks on the fast track, she believes that they could soon surpass alcoholic beverages. A massive investment by alcohol giant Constellation Brands in a Canadian cannabis company speaks to that, as does the fact that Germany's Oettinger Brewery also sought the expertise of a Canadian company.
"USA: Number of cannabis drinks sold has doubled! CNBC reports data from analytics firm Headset shows total revenue from cannabis-infused beverage sales doubled from September 2019 to September 2020." - Finanzen.net in November 2020
In our eyes, BevCanna is the only company that is still listed on the stock exchange as a micro-cap and is so far advanced, indeed seems to be only weeks away from entering the market in a new multi-billion industry, in which investors can nevertheless still participate at an early stage (especially in terms of valuation) and thus with a very particularly high leverage factor.
Everything is there, probably even the company's own factory with a current annual bottling capacity of over 200 million bottles and its own artesian water source. For as early as January, a double-digit million transaction is also to be completed, which has already been picked up in part by the local media in Canada: the takeover of the Naturo Group, which owns, among other things, one of Canada's major new up-and-coming water brands.
No wonder, then, that shortly before the turn of the year, BevCanna's stock traded at its highest volume to date since going public in the summer of 2019. That's because the company is clearly just one license away from a major market entry into a new billion-dollar industry:
Just one license...
The so-called Standard Process License is required by BevCanna to be allowed to bottle cannabis-containing beverages. All other permits and necessary certifications are already in place. So it is really only this one license that is missing for the big and already announced launch of the first beverages early this year, and for which the Canadian health authorities (Health Canada) already confirmed the "Final Review" of the applications more than eight weeks ago.
What is new, however, is that Health Canada has now confirmed shortly before Christmas that there are no further questions about licensing:
BevCanna Advances to Final Stage of Health Canada Standard Processing License.

"Receipt of our Standard Processing Licence is an important milestone for our Canadian production and distribution strategy, and we are confident that we'll achieve this any day now," said Marcello Leone, CEO of BevCanna."
ANY DAY NOW! This was the message published before the Christmas holidays, which may have given additional momentum to the share price before the turn of the year. We think that investors should definitely have a position in the portfolio before the, in our eyes, very likely license receipt in January. The "final review" by the authorities, which has now been confirmed by the health authorities more than two months ago, should therefore be completed. The license application passes consequently probably and in our opinion very probably already in the next week the last instance: the awarding authority!
Participation of the US mart leader Keef Brands
Then, just before New Year's Eve, BevCanna also announced the investment of a U.S. market leader, Keef Brands, the No. 1 U.S. cannabis beverage company. BevCanna's new shareholder Keef Brands currently offers eight of the ten top-selling cannabis beverages in the U.S. state of Colorado and two of the ten top-selling in California. Keef Brands ranks first in the U.S. in both unit sales and revenue among all cannabis beverage companies!
#1 U.S Cannabis Beverage Company Keef Brands Takes Equity Position in BevCanna
Read more HERE: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/BEV:CNX/news/6743119632210567/1_US_Cannabis_Beverage_Company_Keef_Brands_Takes_Equity_Position_in_BevCanna
U.S. market leader Keef Brands is clearly signaling its confidence in the future of BevCanna, the emerging Canadian cannabis beverage specialist, with its investment. It, too, is likely assuming the license will be received in January.
Once the license is here, we'll see a complete revaluation of the company's
Shares of other start-up food & beverage companies, some with significantly less unique selling proposition and hardly any significant sales, are listed on the Canadian stock exchange, some with valuations of over half a billion dollars (CDN). The stock of The Very Good Food Company, a young Canadian producer of vegan meat alternatives, has already made it to a high of almost $10.00 (CDN) this year, while BevCanna's stock is still trading at penny level.
You probably see the huge upside potential yourself, especially since many experts believe in a new boom in the cannabis sector anyway: cannabis 2.0 is currently the big topic in the venture capital sector, along with mushrooms that are supposed to cure depression, but also among major beverage companies, where even a billion-dollar giant like Constellation Brands sought expertise from a Canadian cannabis company. We believe investors should definitely have the stock in their portfolio ahead of the very likely receipt of the license.
The mega transaction with Naturo and Trace Water: no later than Jan. 20, 2021.
And by January 20, 2021 at the latest, a current mega transaction in the Canadian water industry, the acquisition of Naturo Group with one of Canada's great new emerging water brands, is also expected to be completed. Trace, a unique water with special mineral ingredients, has now made it into over 3,000 stores in its current launch phase. Trace will be 100% owned by BevCanna - as management expects - no later than January 20, 2021. We believe the final closing of the transaction will also provide strong power for gains.
What we have seen with stocks such as TAAT or The Very Good Food Company (sharp price multiples within a short period of time) could now be in store for BevCanna.
Cannabis beverages: a new billion-dollar market!
Experts estimate this just emerging market with cannabis beverages as huge, a multi-billion market where even big alcohol companies and breweries smell big business. Young people are drinking less and less alcohol and want feel-good products that don't harm their health.
Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow made a big investment in the industry as recently as October and believes that cannabis drinks will sooner or later supplant alcoholic beverages. Alcohol giant Constellation Brands has jumped into Canadian cannabis company Canopy at a billion-dollar valuation. Germany's Oettinger Brewery has also sought expertise from Canada.
First Mover. Former CEO of Arrowhead now sees 'unlocking significant growth potential'
BevCanna was one of the pioneers, one of the first movers in the industry that could now benefit disproportionately large, and so could the company's shareholders. With decades of experience in developing, branding, and distributing "iconic brands" that are sought after by consumers around the world, BevCanna's team boasts unparalleled expertise in the growing cannabis beverage market. Former executives and leaders of major corporations have gathered around BevCanna.
Even the former CEO of Arrowhead Water in Canada, the world-renowned water brand, who serves on the company's advisory board, is speaking out about the recently announced deal with Naturo:
Bringing together these two leaders in the Canadian beverage industry will unlock significant growth potential" - Don Wood, former CEO of Arrowhead Spring Water.
BevCanna Anticipates to Close Landmark Acquisition of Naturo Group by January 20, 2021
Read more HERE: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/BEV:CNX/news/7187898053042076/BevCanna_Anticipates_to_Close_Landmark_Acquisition_of_Naturo_Group_by_January_20_2021
So by Jan. 20 at the latest, it should be done: BevCanna will become the owner of Naturo Group. One of the great and very special new water brands will then belong to BevCanna:
TRACE source alone estimated to be worth $20 million
BevCanna will not only own a state-of-the-art factory with a bottling plant with an annual capacity of over 200 million bottles when the announced transaction with Naturo is completed. The company will then own 100% of the TRACE water brand, which is currently shaking up the Canadian market. The unique water, which comes from the company's own spring and whose value alone was estimated at almost 20 million USD in a current expert opinion from 2020, contains the particularly high-quality fulvic and humic minerals, but more on that in a moment!
Spotted at 7-Eleven in Vancouver: Right between Evian, Nestlé or world-renowned Fiji water: TRACE will now be 100% owned by BevCanna. - A huge game changer for the company!
In Canada, they are currently conquering the retail market and are even on sale at 7-Eleven. With the Naturo acquisition complete, they are looking to push the US market as well. With the completion of the spectacular acquisition deal, a million-dollar deal, BevCanna is present overnight in over 3,000 stores in Canada.
This is because its TRACE alkaline water is already present in Canada at major key retailers and grocery chains.
"One of BevCanna's key initiatives is to accelerate the expansion of Naturo's market-leading Fulvic and Humic mineral beverage TRACE into the U.S. market. (...)" Excerpt from the ad hoc announcement released this morning.
The assets of Naturo Group alone have been valued at USD 35 million in an independent appraisal. What do you think will happen now when the announced transaction closes no later than January 20!!!? We believe that the stock could rise to price spheres of a The Very Good Food within the next few weeks already.
With the license in hand and with one of Canada's great emerging new water brands, we don't think prices of $3-4.00 (CDN) are at all utopian or unrealistic.
This is a tremendous upside opportunity!
We expect a complete re-rating of the company as BevCanna now becomes the fixed owner of one of Canada's great new water brands: TRACE.
The TRACE brand represents artesian water, which currently holds a leading position of plant-based fulvic and humic water sold in Canada and is sold by more than 3,000 Canadian retailers, with international distribution agreements and partnerships already being explored, the company announced.
Fulvic and humic minerals occur naturally in nutrient-rich soils and mineral-rich rock sediments, and their potential health benefits were recognized centuries ago. Key properties include enhancing cognitive performance, gut health, improving immune function and helping the body metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
Market for premium water huge
Keep in mind that the water source alone from which TRACE water is sourced was estimated in an independent report to be worth $18 million in 2020. The market with alkaline water is a gigantic one, especially in North America, and has been growing constantly for several years. The market research institute Zenith Global estimates the global market with premium water at USD 4.32 billion in 2023. Alkaline water in particular has seen double-digit percentage growth in recent years.
Besides the stock exchange approval of the Naturo acquisition, the second very big time bomb: the license to bottle beverages containing THC and CBD!
With the completion of the Naturo acquisition, BevCanna now has all the assets it needs to bottle THC- and CBD-containing beverages in the future, as soon as the license from the Canadian health authorities has been granted: the truly enormous speculation that is currently underway at BevCanna, the great leverage that, if successful, should easily be good for share price gains in the triple-digit percentage range. Because BevCanna has invested millions in the development of CBD and THC-containing beverages since the company was founded by entrepreneur Marcello Leone, as already mentioned at the beginning, developed brands and established a partnership with one of the current major U.S. market leaders in the field, which has now even taken a stake in BevCanna.
So everything is waiting for the license to be granted to initiate the big market launch of the products, in a new market estimated to be worth billions and probably the reason why the billion-dollar corporation paid almost $200 million to buy just 10% of Canadian cannabis company Canopy. The stake was subsequently even increased to 38%.
German brewer Oettinger also obviously sees huge potential in this new market and sought expertise from Canada, the "Mecca" of the cannabis business. Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow is also a businesswoman and invested in the industry just this fall.
BevCanna is definitely one of the very few companies that have been preparing for a long time to enter the industry and in which investors can still participate in the early stages. Almost unbelievable, but true: investors are currently still paying pennies for a share, the closing price on the home exchange in Canada was $0.98 (CDN) before the turn of the year. We don't think the stock will be trading as a penny stock for much longer, BevCanna is moving up into a whole different league with the completion of the Naturo Group acquisition.
Don't you think investors have incredibly great profit opportunities with BevCanna stock right now, and that the company is in the most exciting cycle at the moment? We are convinced of this and obviously not alone: the former Canadian CEO of the globally renowned water brand Arrowhead is now active for BevCanna.
If the Canadian authorities now also issue a license that would (finally!) allow BevCanna to bottle beverages containing CBD and THC, then BevCanna could quickly become the focus of the large beverage companies anyway, but probably defitnively the focus of the investment community overseas, which should then send the valuation to a completely different level.
First cannabis beverages already announced for Q1 2020
The fact that BevCanna's management is also very confident when it comes to licensing is also evidenced by the already announced product launch of the first cannabis beverages in Canada. As early as the first quarter of 2021, the Keef and Cali-Bloom products, which have already won awards in the U.S., are expected to hit the Canadian market thanks to BevCanna and exclusive agreements with the brand owners. Both product lines are absolute best sellers in their respective sales areas in the USA. We have already explained the great success of Keef at the beginning.
Hand on heart: If the share price has already more than doubled (as it has done) on the comparatively modest news in recent weeks, what do you think will happen after the Naturo takeover is completed? And what only when a license is granted for THC and CBD beverages!?
"Secured": They already turned over millions via their own online stores!
And while the market waited for the license and upcoming product launches of CBD and THC beverages, nothing stood still at BevCanna anyway. In the meantime, the company is also successfully selling wellness and CBD products online, which are produced externally. According to the company, it is already turning over millions via its own online stores. With the announced launch of products such as the new Energypowder, among others an immune booster and other products, the sales figures are likely to be further fueled.
So with BevCanna, investors can now bet on Cannabis 2.0! The upside potential seems enormous! The downside "potential" on the other hand very small, BevCanna's e-commerce business alone should justify a higher valuation.
"What Red Bull has done in the energy drink space is impressive and inspiring to me. Opportunities like this don't come around all the time. CocaCola has been the undisputed No. 1 cola drink for decades. Anheuser-Busch InBev and Heineken are the big names and market leaders in beer. With the legalization of cannabis beverages, I immediately saw the new big opportunity, and that's exactly why we prepared for the market launch as well as anyone, in my opinion. Once we receive the license, we will take off immediately." - Marcello Leone
Here's a link to the interview with BevCanna CEO Marcello Leone at BNN Bloomberg: https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/investment-trends/video/how-bevcanna-is-capitalizing-on-an-emerging-beverage-market~2081468
BevCanna is currently improving their old website but the new one will be online soon: https://bevcanna.com/
The german article I translated: https://www.finanznachrichten.de/nachrichten-2021-01/51866384-sondermeldung-next-die-zeit-laeuft-bald-ab-670.htm

TL;DR:
BevCanna consists of many product brands, all of which show huge potential. The only thing missing to launch their product line is a license, which they expect to receive this week. The prospects after the granting of this license show a huge growth potential in the value of the stock. I personally have been holding BevCanna shares for a long time and have earned several hundred Euros with them. At first I was unsure, but now I think this stock could become one of the biggest opportunities of the year. (Possibly even bigger than GME, since BevCanna is currently a penny stock and has the opportunity to grow several hundred percent). I wish you much success and many Lambos. Bye!

Apocalypse: The Story Of My Life (part 1)

I don't know how it was for you, but for me, 2020 was a pretty tough year. In a matter of months, I lost everything. My job. My friends. The life I'd spent an entire lifetime building. And the worst part is, it all started going downhill the day I did something I never do.
I asked for help.
Ever since then, it's been one downward spiral after another. I've seen first hand how quickly the fall to rock bottom can be. And I've come to realize how hard it is starting anew, especially in America. The supposed land of freedom and opportunity.
It's been frustrating, to say the least. And the more time passes, the more it feels like I'm losing my voice. Like the opportunity to tell my own story and validate my own existence is slipping away.
That's why I wanted to do something bold and daring.
A lot's changed since Covid. For the first time in my life, I have no job, no money, no insurance, and no real clue how I'm going to support myself. I don't even know how I'd be able to focus on any of that when I have so much to say about the world and the future we're headed to. Writing is the only way I know how to express myself. It's also one of the few marketable skills I have, so in my darkest hour of desperation, I was praying I could make a living off my words, somehow.
I tried starting a blog. That didn't go so well. There's much more to internet success than creating a website and posting a few decent articles. I'm nowhere near equipped to handle the marketing, advertising, or social media aspect that comes with building a brand. So I migrated my endeavors over to Facebook.
Even worse idea. Suffice to say, not that many people are actually interested in reading long, thoughtful articles over there.
Which brings me to Reddit. Truthfully, I'm just hoping to find a platform where I can tell my story, share the knowledge I have, find a way to rebuild myself, and make the world a better place in process. And I suppose I'll start by telling you about the Apocalypse.
I'll be upfront with you. When this idea first came to me, I was mostly looking for a gimmick. A way to promote myself on other parts of the web. But the more I think about the world ending, the more it occurs to me, that's exactly how I feel. From my perspective, it's as if society (and the world in general) is in freefall and it's been that way for a while. A large part of me is genuinely terrified that THIS is as good as humanity is ever going to get, and I feel obligated to say something. I feel as if I have to fight, I have to educate, and I have to keep hope alive for a better tomorrow.
SOMEBODY has to believe society can change. If not, nothing ever will.
So allow me a few moments to convince you that we are in an Apocalypse.
By no means is this an attempt at fear mongering. I simply have legitimate concerns about the future, I know how to write a decent narrative at times, and I was honestly proud of the work I put into this post, even if nobody read it.
Without further ado, . . .
Hello.
From henceforth, my name is Postuleo Jones.
I am writing to you from my top-secret location because we are in the midst of an Apocalypse. If you allow me just a few minutes of your time, I'll gladly explain to you what I mean. By the time we make it to the end of this document, you'll be armed with knowledge and you'll know exactly what you need to do in order to survive "the stupid".
To adequately explain why we are in an Apocalypse, I'd need to start by telling you the story of things I noticed starting in 2008 when Obama won the presidency. I will do that at some point in time, but for the sake of brevity, I'll explain why I'm going to be brief--
If you were to plot out causality and learn how randomness converges to create order, what we commonly refer to as 'cause and effect', you'd inevitably end up with something that looks like a graph. If you were to translate that graph and all of its meaning into a working model, you'd get a theory. There are several theories out there that attempt to describe chaos, but I'm going to use one that I made up, one that I'll expand upon in days to come.
According to this theory, by the time you notice the effect of something, logically you need to assume it's because the cause has already happened. Most of what I'd be doing by recapping 2008 would be highlighting a series of causes. A linear progression of observations. And by the time I got to 2020, I would have spent the past narrative explaining to you why we are in the Apocalypse, NOW--And that's one thing about the Apocalypse. Once you notice it, you need to assume it's because it's started.
Once it's started, you need to assume it will continue (aka it will annihilate you). And once you make that assumption, you need to adjust.
Immediately.
Because there's one thing in life that will always remain true; the Universe WILL NOT WAIT for you.
Now, something you need to know is, adjusting does not involve giving in to humanity's more basic instincts. In every Apocalypse movie/television series you have ever seen, once a causative factor has been identified (usually in the form of zombies [both radioactive and benign]), society almost immediately devolves into chaos and disorder.
As tempting as it is, and as easy as it is to succumb to what will henceforth be known as "the stupid", you must resist the urge. Chaos and anarchy might help you survive an Apocalypse, but it doesn't end one. And considering the nature of the Apocalypse we are in, one that centers firmly around stupidity, the best thing you can do--in fact the only thing you can do if you really want the Apocalypse to end--is be intelligent.
I am going to assume that you are intelligent. And because you are intelligent, I won't waste your time documenting the chain of events that have led us to now. If you have been watching the news or tuned in to the Donald Trump presidency, then you have already witnessed much of the causal stream.
Instead, I'm going to spend my time convincing you of WHEN the effect of "the stupid" became apparent to me. It was right after I told the truth. Because I chose to be honest, I was forced to enter the system. I ended up losing my job, most of my friends, and I contemplated the idea of suicide. I kept reaching out to folks only to discover that no one would help me, and somewhere along the way, I discovered the answer to the Fermi Paradox.
I know why there are no great alien civilizations. I know exactly what the great filter is. Suffice to say, you can boil it down to ignorance, greed, and selfishness. All signs that a lifeform is supremely un-intelligent.
Shortly after realizing the knowledge I'd gained, I set about thinking on how I could share this insight with those around me. And without warning, I get on social media. I tune into the news, and I hear there are reports of an unknown virus making its way through China.
Within weeks, this novel and extremely deadly Coronavirus traveled across the globe, infecting thousands and killing hundreds. . .
There was a movie about this, once.
Contagion.
I never saw it, but when it came out back in 2011, I would have sworn we made a big fuss about understanding the dangers of a biological threat and the need for proactive safety measures. I could have sworn the USA said that if there were a pandemic, it would be a crises because America would use the latest technology, science, and data available to eliminate any threat. I even wanna say there was a bunch of feel good commercials made about it, or at the very least, there was talk about America's perceived "preparedness" on television.
Not just that. There was the movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes staring James Franco. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the ending, didn't some guy who was infected with a virus get on a plane? Then the movie cut to an animated visual depicting just how quickly the virus went on to infect multiple locations due to air travel?
Point is, the moment there was a new virus and we all gawked instead of realizing it was going to spread, was the moment we all f**ked up.
Thus we entered the Stupidity Apocalypse.
Part of why the virus initially spread so quickly was because it used our nursing homes (filled with our most vulnerable) as kindling. The problems with nursing homes in America are vast, most of them stem from being understaffed and underserved. These are issues we have been aware of but neglected for decades, and I'm almost willing to bet at a certain point, there just wasn't enough staff, attention, nor care available to even assess or notice that our elderly were being attacked.
In fact, much of the pandemic panic didn't really set in until the virus started affecting normal, healthy folk. When the average citizen went, "Oh, shit! I might actually suffer and get pneumonia and possibly die!"
And let's be clear. Covid-19 was devastating because it caused pneumonia and respiratory distress . . . even though Influenza causes pneumonia. Pneumocystis Jirovecii causes pneumonia. Pneumococcal pneumonia causes pneumonia. COPD can lead to pneumonia. So can heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, vascular disease, and even cancer.
Aspiration of food or other caustic substances can cause pneumonia. So can inhalation of debris (think coal dust from mining or the particulate from factory work).
A whole lot of things can cause pneumonia, and if you were to gather the statistics, you'd see that close to 1 million people (50,000 in the US) die from pneumonia each year. And much of that is likely preventable. Yet, all I could hear at the start of this pandemic was how nobody really cared about the suffering pneumonia caused. Not once did we acknowledge how widespread and ubiquitous the condition actually is. The headlines were all about the poor souls affected by Covid and how serious their health was.
Eventually, we were asked to stay at home, and eventually, we (especially folks within the media) started harassing and making fun of those who violated the early lockdown orders.
But, let's pause to analyze that, for a second.
We live in a culture where most Americans don't have enough savings to handle a life crises and are living paycheck to paycheck. Which sort of implies you have to earn your paycheck. You have to show up for work. Many companies do have an oral policy urging workers to stay home if they are feeling unwell. And considering the massive legal teams some companies hire, I'm sure there is an accompanying written policy buried in a handbook somewhere.
But what do you do when the standard operating procedure is, "if you don't show up for work, you're fired!"?
I've had a job like that. Three absences in a rolling calendar year, regardless of the circumstance, meant you were instantly terminated. And it wasn't that easy to adjust or get access to PPE (personal protective equipment, i.e. face masks) in the beginning.
This doesn't even tackle the issue of the self-employed or the hustler who has to go out and earn their money on a daily basis to make a living.
Next, there's the issue of social distancing and the violation of civic responsibility for those that were seen out in public with no mask. I saw s many touting their masks and sitting all high and mighty on their high horse when the pandemic first started. But not a single soul acknowledge the fact that America waited until a pandemic to make an attempt to be responsible. No one acknowledged that we have a flu season EVERY year.
EVERY YEAR there are literally millions of preventable flu infections, millions of hospital visits, millions of dollars wasted, and thousands of deaths, all outcomes that could have been prevented had Americans bothered to use masks, socially distance, and wash their hands before now. This is a simple practice that other, more developed countries, cultures, and societies have been following for years, and it's likely a huge part of why they've had a better overall handle of this pandemic.
But in America, this conversation, this acknowledgment, this chance to think and do better, never happened. Another opportunity shrouded by the stupid.
We then went through several months of folks blaming the government because others couldn't stay inside. We went through several months of folks blaming the government for the misinformation, although no one was trying all that hard to educate. And we also went through several months talking about how difficult it was for our frontline workers and our first responders.
We showed how overworked our hospitals were, how tired the staff was, and how we were running out of beds. But we never did mention that, even prior to Covid, our hospitals were already scheduled to have an increased occupancy thanks to the season flu.
You know, that things that's totally preventable.
We didn't mention that a good portion of why we are in this mess today is because the healthcare system has neglected to spend the past few years educating the masses.
To this day, there is rampant misinformation about vaccines, about diseases and the cause of sickness, and most people don't seem to have any real grasp of biology, pathology, or pathogenesis. So it's no wonder there was such a hard time getting the public to trust the science when the public lacked the education to even realize they needed to be trusting.
Why is why I find the conversation about vaccines so darn hilarious.
Of course there was no antiviral created to effectively treat Covid. Let's face it. Pharmaceutical companies increasingly spend more of their money on marketing and advertising, trying to get the name of their drug or the idea that it will help into your mind so you will know to look for it and ask your physician to prescribe it.
Yes, these companies do engage in research and development. But if you were to take a look at all the drugs we have and order them based on drug class and category, what you'd likely find is that most drug companies spend most of their efforts studying an already well-known compound (likely one they created). They tweak the drug a bit to produce slightly less side effects that are "statistically significant" without necessarily being beneficial. Or they find a new way to administer the drug or a way to increase its therapeutic length. All changes that allow them to renew their patent and charge a f**K ton of money for the 'new' development.
Not much interest is paid to creating completely new treatments, and I doubt drug companies have the incentive or the expertise for that. Your best bet for truly remarkable, breakthrough science lies with the creative and bright minds of PHd and Masters students who would love to engage in independent, discovery driven research at our universities and colleges. But do to a lack of government grants and the general disinterest in education that has swept the nation (plus higher education's increasing reliance on wealthy benefactors and athletic income), I don't think there's going to be a pill to treat covid anytime soon.
And I have to add this. While I was on Instagram and Facebook, I saw A LOT of memes and messages going around from nurses depicting what it was like being in an ICU hooked up to a ventilator. The consensus was, living with a mask is nothing compared to how you will be treated in the hospital, and I damn near lost my mind.
For starters, before I was drop kicked on my ass onto the outskirts of society, I was a nurse. I worked in a Long Term Acute Care Hospital. If you don't know what that is, it's basically a facility that specializes in treating patient whose condition (either acute, chronic, or both) will necessitate a longer length of stay.
Your average patient in an acute hospital--think any Methodist or Memorial Hermann. Rather, think 'any time you to go the ER', because Emergency Rooms are typically the main access point to hospital care. When you're admitted, assuming your condition warrants is, you become an 'inpatient' in the Acute care setting. The typical length of stay can be anywhere between 2-5 days. After which time, you are discharged.
This does depend on your diagnosis, as in the reason you were admitted. Insurance companies pay a set amount based on your primary diagnosis, and that covers expenses for a set number of days, meaning it is pretty much expected that you will be discharged and tasked with managing your own care. That's exactly why we hand you those discharge packets fill of instructions that most never even bother to read. (And why would you? It's boring, it's uninspired, and mostly, it just tells you a bunch of facts and rationales without actually teaching you anything).
Anyway, let's assume that the reason you were admitted to the hospital is because you had a heart attack. But because of your poor diet, lack of exercise, and noncompliance with your blood pressure medication because you only take it when you feel like your pressure is high . . . Let's assume all of this and let's say that your heart attack was pre-scheduled. Meaning, you were diagnosed with heart failure some odd years ago, you have been getting treated for it, but overtime your body has decompensated. The vascular damage has accumulated. It's mostly remained hidden because the doctor is expensive, you haven't been going to your primary to complain, and thus you weren't referred for a screening exam.
No medical professional was looking to tell you that you were on your way to a massive heart attack. One that would provide inadequate profusion for such a long period of time that it caused irreparable damage to your brain from lack of oxygen.
You aren't getting out of the hospital anytime soon. You might stay in the ICU for a week. Maybe two or three. But when you are stable, you will be transferred to a more appropriate facility, one where you will 'theoretically' be supplied with a sort of built-in therapy service. You might stay at this facility, depending on how well it takes you to improve and what that quality of improvement looks like, anywhere from a few weeks, to a few months, to a few years.
That's the sort of facility I worked at.
We took care of patient with heart failure, strokes, kidney disease, and end stage lung disease, and basically, I know a thing or two about caring for patients on a ventilator.
No. Ventilators are not comfortable. And I don't just mean from a 'having to be on one' perspective. Having a tube down your throat, having a machine force air into your lungs, being hooked onto monitors and hearing beeps and lights and alarms and now knowing which one of those means you're about to suddenly feel like you can't breathe and. . . . None of that is fun.
Then having some air-head nurse come in and look at you like you're panicking, then take her sweet ass time getting a respiratory therapist because she can't be bothered to suction your herself, and waiting for a respiratory therapist to come and slide a plastic catheter down your throat, literally suck the air from your lungs just so you can cough up some mucous before they give you a breathing treatment--All of that when the entire time you might have just been anxious, and a single shot of Ativan or that nurse just paying attention or better yet, staying with you, talking to you, and suctioning you herself when she hear you cough a bit earlier when she was passing her meds, but she was too busy at the time. . .
None of that is fun, but that's the reality I dealt with every time I went to work. If you actually knew what it was like being stuck in the hospital, you'd know that getting well can be a lonely and extremely unpleasant experience. And it's sad to me that here we are, in the middle of a pandemic and previously undiagnosed stupidity Apocalypse, and we are literally using healthcare as a threat in order to get people to stay home.
What the actual F**K?
Anyway, that's how we came to rely on a vaccine.
Folks were arguing because Donald Trump was being too optimistic touting BS medical trials and over-promising on medications. When that didn't pan out, everyone (and I mostly mean everyone on the news and on Capitol Hill) began putting their stock in a vaccine to fix Covid.
The second people started talking about a vaccine, however, my mind was like, "So what? Who's going to take it? And how are you going to convince them?
Watching the political back and forth during the Trump presidency, I witnessed how tribal and polarized the conversations surrounding vaccinations and healthcare have become. It seems like a lot of Republicans didn't really believe the science that vaccines work. Either that, or they think their kid won't get a disease. And if their kid does get sick, as long as they end up being fine, who cares if they pass it on to a more vulnerable population?
I'm speculating on this, but this is the argument I most often see posed by those on the Democratic side.
That said, a lot Democrats don't really believe in vaccines, either. A large portion, aka the vocal minority who talks the most, screams the loudest, and therefore gets the most attention (basically those Democrats who love calling Republicans stupid), assuming they don't use the excuse of not having access to healthcare, they likely get vaccinated. Passively, too. I mean, if you work in certain career fields, your job might even offer free annual immunizations. These careers tend to lean more Democratic. The jobs Republicans typically work might not offer immunizations, so that might be another reason Republicans lean more towards pro choice?
Point is, A LOT of America doesn't actually believe in vaccinations. This is pretty interesting because it has more to do with profound lack of understanding and trust than anything else.
Despite vaccines having data to back their effectiveness, despite the fact that humanity eradicated small pox from the face of the Earth using vaccines, and despite the logic that if you completely rid yourself of a virus by vaccinating everyone and everything against it such that the virus has no natural host and can therefore no longer exist. . .
Despite all of that, the average person doesn't really comprehend the need for a vaccination because hey, even thought we have a flu vaccine and they tell you to get that every year, the flu is still a around.
Actually, wait a minute. How come I have to get the flu vaccine ever year? It must not be effective since all of those other vaccines only need one shot to work. But I'm supposed to get the flu shot EVERY year? Pass!! I heard the flu shot can make you sick, anyway. And what's the point in getting it if I might still get the flu? No, I think I'll wait until they actually know what they are doing with those vaccines. But even then, I've never had the flu. And nobody gets those other diseases anymore unless there's an outbreak. If only those people were more careful, we wouldn't be having all these viruses!
So, I don't really have to do anything. Like, I'm okay with the flu vaccine, and I think everyone should get it if these companies ever figure out what their doing. But if I don't get one, that's fine. Them Republicans though, how dare they! At least I WOULD get vaccinated if I had the chance. But those Republicans making a fuss talking about, "I don't think the government should be able to tell me what to do with my body and with my child!"
Just like they be tryna tell females what they can do with their uterus.
You see?
Either way it goes, everyone has some reason why they don't want to get vaccinated, and that's why American's vaccination rates have been decreasing over time. this wasn't helped when every single morning show was inviting celebrities to spout misinformation about vaccines, linking them to autism a decade ago when that particular wave of stupidity hit.
Or do you not remember?
I mean, seriously. It was on talk shows. Morning shows. Radio. The news. Everywhere! And we were all just laughing and calling people idiots at the time saying how dumb could they be? All the while we saw just how many people were willing to follow just because someone famous told them to. We saw how easily people's opinions could be swayed, and I'm sure the medical community squeaked out a poot just to say all the lies around vaccines stank.
In fact, I knew they did. In regards to the paper linking vaccines to Autism, that study was proven to be flawed, and the medical community went on record saying vaccines were safe and effective. If you go back and look, there might've even been talk about re-enforcing or re-educating the public about vaccine guidelines. But that was it.
A whole lot of stupid has been tossed around since then, and the general population is still incredibly ignorant. As much as I would like to blame the government for this, I'm putting this squarely on the shoulders of healthcare. On every single doctor, nurse, healthcare administrator, or whoever had the opportunity to speak to the media and not once did they think to start a campaign to combat the massive amount of medical unintelligence I just described.
So who cares about a vaccine when I could have told you last year that half the country wouldn't even want to get it?
This has something to do with the cognitive dilemmas I laid out, but it also has to do with plan logistics. I mean, as contagious as the Covid-19 was/is, and as quickly as it was/is mutating, you'd want to make sure that any countermeasures you had were absolute. You'd want to eliminate it, basically. And if you only available weapon was a vaccine, you'd need everyone to theoretically be vaccinated.
In order for that to happen, you know you'd have to make vaccinations mandatory. Even IF the coronavirus was a deadly-flesh-eating-monster-forming-mutant-machine of a virus, people wouldn't voluntarily get a vaccine because people are hard-headed, and it's obvious if you've been paying attention to society. At one point, I even saw a news headline saying only 30% of Americans said they would get the vaccine when it became commercially available.
That should have woken everyone up. But it didn't. This is exactly why the government, the medical profession, and the media should have done more to actually educate folks about the science. And I’m literally talking about the science. Like, have an animated model and a YouTube professor or someone talking about the chemistry, how the molecules in the body interact, and how every little component in a vaccine comes together in order to produce a freaking vaccine that works.
Had any of that been done at the start of Corona, we might not be as far behind as we are now.
So yeah, our only hope for getting back to normal is with a vaccine that nobody wants to take. And now that it's out and I’ve had a chance to peek at the science, and I’m honestly impressed. Mostly because it is a new technology. But we are still having problems with the roll out.
I know everyone was blaming that on the in-effective Trump government. But A) government is made up of much, much more than just one person, and B) one of the first things that pissed me off about the government (and all of America for that matter) is the fact that we even thought we had a chance of resolving this crisis through a vaccinations.
In addition to the lack of trust and the general 'don’t f**kin give it to me' attitude we have surrounding vaccines, no one in government seemed to question how we'd effectively complete such a massive roll out in the first place. I mean, considering how effectively we can produce flu vaccines and yet there is no coordinated effort at mass vaccination. Considering there are preventable diseases all across the world, and a lot of these diseases in countries that would LOVE to have access to a vaccines as part of humanitarian aid.
Considering there has been no real practice and no real giving a damn about how you'd distribute a theoretically mandatory vaccine to literally millions of people in a small enough time frame for it to actually make a difference. . . . These are things you should have been thinking about when COVID first happened. Hell, these are things that should have been in place PRIOR to Covid.
I thought about this in what, May? June? And I was miffed I didn’t hear anybody else asking these questions, nor did I hear anyone offering up answers. And I mean answers in terms of, "Explain to me how the you did all the shit I said you did, and now you’re going to try and convince me that you know what you’re doing, even though you don’t even seem to understand that everything you did is the exact reason why where in this mess . . . "
Ugh, whatever.
It was obvious the vaccines roll-out was going to be a challenge. And I know Biden and Kamala have a “plan” to fix that, but I haven’t heard what the plan is to deal with my following concerns.
First, it concerns me that the CDC is counting on herd immunity to protect is from future Covid infections. I forgot what the exact number is to achieve herd immunity, but I want to say it's when 70% of the population is vaccinated. That’s been great for the CDC, because they’re thinking (and by thinking I mean planning) on only having to vaccinate half of the 70% they need in order to reach immunity.
Why? Well, the CDC said it will only have to do half the work, only have to reach 35% of the population, because the other 35% are just gonna get Covid. Covid comes with -10 breathing, -2 fatigue, and +10% chance of dying, but hey, you get bonus immunity from infections, so it works out.
Basically, America’s current tactic is, let’s hurry up and do half the work so that way we'll know all of the work is complete. ^ _ ^
America! How are you realistically going to achieve herd immunity when that is entirely dependent upon people getting a voluntary vaccine that they might not want to receive? Not just that, but why do you think that’s an achievable goal when we've been struggling to reach herd immunity against the viruses we already have vaccines for? And morbidly, what about the remaining 30%? You need to assume you don’t know who it will be or what sort of factors will influence their decision to be unvaccinated.
Hypothetically, what if the remaining 30%, the ones who are unvaccinated, what if they were all vulnerable? Through some mysterious circumstances, what if it turns out that if they catch Covid, they will get sick and die almost immediately before you ever get the chance to save them. And let’s assume that, for unknown reasons, the remaining 30% somehow find a way to connect each other, to keep the line of infectious transmission going. All of that is a creative metaphorical way of saying, let’s assume that they all just get Covid and expire. That’s a whole lot of people who are potentially at risk, and level of risk should never be a progressive society's goal.
Secondly, and this is going to be a two-parter, let’s say we fix America’s roll-out, and according to the government’s plan, we achieve heard immunity and everything’s back to normal by July. Well, that’s great for America, but some countries are having difficulties gaining access to a vaccine.
I read a news article the other day talking about the trouble South America has been having getting the vaccine. Fortunately for them, Russia has been able to provide some assistance. The Russian vaccine isn’t recommended by the CDC or the WHO or something like that, likely because Russia was being secret about their data. But Russia isn’t stupid. If you think Russia tampers with its data, that’s great because it means Russia doesn’t have to do anything but actually create an effective vaccine, and you did all the hard work of spying on your on un-intelligence about it.
I honestly don’t know if Russia’s vaccine is effective, or if it will be as effective as the vaccines America manufactures. But that really doesn’t matter. As long as it prevents Covid from spreading in Latin America, those countries are going to remember who helped them in the middle of a pandemic.
Russia has already achieved its goal of exerting power on the global stage, and to be frank, they didn’t really have to try all that hard. Not just that, but there’s more opportunity in it for them. Africa is another one of those places that's having trouble getting access to vaccines. I was reading another article literally today, and parts of Africa might not have access to a vaccine till 2022 or 2023. How much you wanna bet Russia knows this? How much you wanna bet Russia is going to help Africa with its supply problem? That’d be the first thing I’d do if I was an evil, mustache wearing, mustache twirling dictator who could only do things for the lolz.
And that’s what leads us down to point two. Part of what made Covid so tricky in the first place was just how quickly it was mutating, and it still is mutating. There are newer, deadlier strains cropping up in Africa, and you don’t know how many new strains will appear, what sort of mutations they will have, and how deadly the virus will become before you can get enough vaccines to halt its course.
That being said, so far our vaccines test out to be effective against a couple of different strains of the virus. But what happens when there’s a strain that the vaccine doesn’t grant immunity to? As long as it exists, it will inevitably spread. And if I have to remind you of why, go back and read the two movie titles I listed, and start reading this entire post again from there because obviously haven't been following with me.
If a new, resistant strain were to come over here to America, and we'd be right back in the same position . . . maybe. That’s another point of contention I have.
What does the CDC think is normal? What does anyone in government think is normal? I’m thinking of total eradication of the virus, but as it stands right now, I wouldn’t be surprised if Covid just stuck around as part of our seasonal “flu” package. If that’s the case, it might not be so bad. The flu only kills what, thousands of people EACH year. Add a few thousand more deaths from Covid, and overtime, as long as we’re not in a pandemic anymore, who cares? (I do, because that means we’re still in the stupidity Apocalypse)
So let’s say Covid just sticks around and comes back every year. That’s all well and good until it mutates. And it will mutate into something that is likely extremely infectious and extremely deadly (because every time a virus mutates against a current vaccine, that’s what happens. That’s pretty much the only direction it can mutate in).
When that happens, depending on how infectious Covid ends up being, how lacks we’ve become with our ‘herd immunity’, and how much of a cluster f**k our response time ends up being, you’d be looking at a MASSIVE pandemic. Like, instantaneously MASSIVE. Because you won’t be expecting a thing, and the public will have gotten so used to Covid, there might not be enough fear to immediately modify behavior.
And this sort of failure and inability to respond to an infectious agent scares me because, look at how much fuss we kicked up about this virus being new. About it being novel.
Back when this first came, scientist new absolutely nothing about it . . . although they could tell you what it was called, what it looked like, what family of viral particle it was in, etc. Look at how the world responded to Covid, something that was previously ‘unknown’.
Problem is, there are actually viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other pathological agents out there that are genuinely unknown. Here’s the thing. There is region of our globe near the poles that remains cold year round. In that cold, frigid climate, there are patches of eco system that contain something called permafrost.
Permafrost is called that because the natural environmental conditions come together to make sure the ground remains permanently frozen.
For millions of years, life has been crawling all around the permafrost and just being life until one day, it up and dies. Not necessarily because it was hunted. Not even because it was wounded. It just died because it got an infection. And there it laid, on the cold, hard ground with its germs. And the ground was like, “Shit, baby you hot! Let me go on ahead a freeze you!”
And the ground does this. Really fast. Such to the point that, some things inside that dead body (like those organism causing the infection) don’t even have time to realize their dead. They flash freeze. Either that, or there’s just enough time for some crafty bacteria to make endospores. You can think of endospores as seeds. Bacterial seeds that are hella resistant to environmental changes. And just like a seed, an endospore will wait until conditions are right. Then it will bloom.
The conditions are right when humans get so greedy and stupid, they heat up the climate, start melting millions of years of permafrost, some lonely carcass gets unfrozen and accidentally discovered by some animal or some human. That bacteria that didn’t know it was dead comes back to life, and guess what? It has no competition.
It has no competition because that bacteria was frozen 2 million years ago. No one needed to develop an immune response to it, so as far as it's concerned, every single last one of you is fresh meat. And you will truly not know a thing about it until its already infected you and spread.
Talk about antibiotic resistance. Good luck trying to save people when you don’t know how to detect it, you don't know what kills it, and you don't know how it's transmitted or it's disease progression. I bring this up because it's one of the lesser known threats posed by climate change. I bring this up because last I checked, our scientists had already warned us that if we didn't change our behavior soon, we were going to cause positive feedback loop, and there'd be nothing we could do to stop it.
You might have more hope for the future than I do. Then again, I haven't talking about the economic impact of Covid. I haven't talked about the mental health crises it sparked. I haven't talked about the shocking number of students who failed to thrive with the switch to online learning, and I haven't talked about lingering ghosts of racism or the insurrection on the Capitol.
I've left so much out of this conversation, yet it's still long and I still have the nerve to call it an introduction.
It's hard to believe we might be facing the end of the world. Not when our society looks like this . . .? (This is the part where you look around ominously, and suddenly you realized it's ominous)
But unfortunately, all of the problems I can see really are baked into the cake of how we think about society and how we participate in our civilization. And as hopeful as people are for the future, no one seems to really believe that society can change.
So if you'll allow me, that's what I want to talk about with this story.
Life. How I learned to appreciate it so fiercely, and why I'm fighting to make it better.
Or at the very least, why I'm fighting to be heard and have my experiences acknowledged.
