26th November 2020: As lakhs of farmers from over 500 peasant organisations march to Delhi, in opposition to the 3 new farmer bills announced by the BJP-Modi govt, the authorities have deployed the Riot Police, with Water Cannons at the Delhi – Punjab – Haryana – Rajasthan – UP – Uttarakhand borders. They have been joined by trade unions, workers groups and citizen movements across the nation, including citizen movement Awaken India, who gathered at Kotwal Garden in Dadar, Mumbai on 26th November, 2020. “Today being Constitutional Day, our farmers have chosen to march for their rights and to safeguard the democracy of our country. The proposed bills will lead to deregulation of markets, further push the govt-enabled corporatisation of agriculture, and will throw open agriculture to transnational companies. This march to Delhi has undergone preparation for 3 months, but the media has not paid due attention until now. Workers and farmers across the nation have witnessed their rights being diluted, and have now risen up in the form of an indefinite satyagraha. We are witnessing a shift in politics, as various groups unite in this historical struggle,” said Feroze Mithiborwalla, member of Awaken India, Geopolitical affairs expert and president of the Bharat Bachao Andolan. Barricades have been erected at all the roads coming into Delhi. The farmers are on the march from every state from across the country. Workers in Kerala & West Bengal have called for a strike & have blocked railway lines. Despite the repression, the farmers have broken through 2 barricades and the march to Delhi carries on. Yohan Tengra, member of Awaken India and convenor of group Anarchy for Freedom, explains, “The three bills destroy the independence of Indian farmers, and facilitate the monopolisation of our food supply, in the hands of global agri-business giants and their billionaire counterparts in India. This monopolisation will make it easier for global powers to play politics with food, and deprive people and communities of nutritious, affordable food. We are also against GMO foods that lack long-term safety studies and don’t live up to their promises.” The nation is also witness to the unbridled privatisation and financialisation of nature, our natural resources and profitable public sector companies. Our national assets are being grossly undervalued and sold for a song, with more and more of our wealth being concentrated in the hands of a few families, thus leading to the growing inequality and very stark at that. Thus the top 1% of the ultra-rich possess 75% of the national wealth & the gap only continues to grow. Acclaimed scholar, environmental activist, food sovereignty advocate, and anti-globalization author Vandana Shiva has said, “The real authoritarianism is the totalitarian control of a handful of corporations over our food. Corporate industrial food system is at the root of hunger & chronic diseases…It is a war against farmers & the land.” She has been actively spreading awareness about the corporates and international orgs like Gates and Monsanto pushing GMO food onto unsuspecting publics, and promoting “lab-made proteins and pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals as “sustainable solutions” for our agriculture systems, and the dangers of new viruses and epidemics spreading from increased production of genetically modified organisms. The country is under siege and the public is being restricted in exercising their constitutional rights to gather peacefully and express lawful dissent, under the guise of a pandemic. The lockdowns, curfews, surveillance, heavy policing, teargas and water cannons are not tools to ensure public health and wellbeing, but rather to suppress people of the country and enable the government to change laws, policies and society with minimal discussion or opposition. Citizen movement Awaken India is unaffiliated with any political party, and understands that we are witnessing the advancement of Fascism, the fusing of corporate and state power, and the greatest wealth and land transfer in the nation’s history. Awaken India resonates with the sentiment of Yogendra Yadav, political activist and National President of Swaraj India, as described to NDTV, “It must be a very strange pandemic, three days ago, Deputy Chief Minister of Haryana does a rally with thousands of farmers with no masks, no social distancing – no pandemic! Bihar election, no pandemic! When farmers gather, then there is pandemic! This must be a very strange disease… This is exactly the kind of tactics the British regime used against Indian nationalists. Today, Punjab farmers are fighting not for Punjab, they are fighting for farmers all over India. Any attempt to repress them, any attempt to suppress them, any attempt to crack down on them, is a crackdown on farmers of India, we shall not forget that.” Today the Farmers and Workers are marching to take back our country, restore our Constitutional Rights, and save our beloved India from the coordinated fascist onslaught by international entities, big corporates and the central government. After organising three successful peaceful protests, and one educational public event, Awaken India joins the farmers in solidarity with their aligned causes and interests.

21st November 2020: According to Mithiborwala, the COVID-19 crisis has been put in play by big Pharma companies that are “far more powerful than governments.” He said: “We have been witnessing the emergence of a biotech industrial complex, which is basically a totalitarian and surveillance-based fascist state.”.. Lastly, Mithiborwala believes that the current lockdown being implanted in the national capital amid rising COVID-19 numbers, is targeting the national kisaan and mazdoor movement, to prevent them from carrying out their demonstrations against the recently-passed farm bills. – Gaurav Sarkar, Midday Following the success of three peaceful protests which received widespread media coverage, citizen movement Awaken India in partnership with Rebel Foundation, held a public meeting: ‘The Truth behind the Covid19 Crisis – “Jaagoge nahi, toh Jeeyoge nahi!’ at Marathi Patrakar Sangh, Mumbai on 21st November 2020. The impressive lineup included India’s best researchers and doctors, who analysed facts, statistics, historical contexts and mounting international resistance against the government-big pharma response and devastating restrictions to the exaggerated Covid-19 ‘pandemic’. They critiqued the lopsided and unscientific government response contradictory to the high recovery rate of 99.997% for ages 0-10, 99.98% for 20-49, 99.5% for 50-69 & 94.6% for those 70 & above (US-CDC). Credible research proves that 98% of flu cases vanished from worldwide data this year. It appears 5-7 lakh deaths due to flu have miraculously disappeared, indicating both national and global death rates remain stable, and have not increased dramatically due to Covid-19 virus. The overwhelming majority of people are demonstrably safe, as fatality & death rate is also very low. These facts need to be communicated to citizens, free from media spins and hyperbole, to ensure that ‘the cure’, i.e. response measures, isn’t more harmful than the disease itself. Awaken India demands an end to current disproportionate, unscientific, mandatory government policies on mass testing, lockdowns, social distancing, masks & vaccines. Geopolitical affairs expert & president of the Bharat Bachao Andolan, Feroze Mithiborwala, remarked, “Covid19 is essentially a laboratory created bio-engineered flu-like virus which exhibits moderate to extreme symptoms. This design has a well documented history wherein Transnational Pharma, Big Tech & Weapons production companies, in collusion with elements of the Deep State have engineered similar attacks to further their agenda of the New World Order and the rise of the BioTech-Industrial Totalitarian Fascist Surveillance Complex”. Ambar Koiri, an expert on alternative health solutions, emphasized that, “All traditional medicine systems (except allopathy) follow ‘Terrain Theory’ for a life full of health and happiness. Keep your terrain, i.e. immune systems, fighting fit and no germ in the world can make you sick. This can be achieved by sunlight, fresh air, exercise, rest, a 50% raw food intake and a vegan diet.” Renowned vaccine expert Jagannath Chaterjee, said, “[People] are afraid of bioterrorism. [People] think it will come in the form of a virus. What if it comes in the form of a vaccine? What do we know about the vaccine scandals that are a part of history?…The Covid vaccines are experimental mRNA vaccines being granted emergency authorization. The trials have thrown up serious adverse effects including death…Companies manufacturing them are being given legal protection. We have many reasons to be extremely wary of this vaccine that is being given as protection against a false epidemic.” Dr. Amar Singh Azad, MD Pediatrics & MD Community Medicine Director, Centre for Holistic and Environmental Health stated, “The way the present epidemic is being projected is an example of brazen politics by vested interests and not science. The way the virus has been projected and the solutions being imposed on the people are not based on any scientific evidence. Now they are preparing to give compulsory vaccination, totally ignoring the efficacy and safety issues.” 5G expert Prakash Munshi, stated, “5G is a technology which operates on millimetre waves and will have an antenna every 100 meters at very high frequencies compared to 4G. Closer the antenna, higher the radiation, higher the risk of health hazards like CANCER. Hundreds of peer reviewed studies on 5G technology have proved harm to the citizens and environment while there is not a single study to prove NO HARM from 5G radiation to citizens and environment.” Bhavya Dhavan, a mental health expert said that, “Although we do understand there exists a virus of sorts that’s making people sick, it’s evident that it’s not deadly and the word ‘pandemic’ is just being used for the sake of propaganda. History shows that pharmaceutical cartels and the WHO, with the help of national governments, propagate fear to induce panic to generate financial profits and tighten controls…. We are in a war where the battlefield is our mind”. Virr Saxena, a mindset coach, explained, “The mental health pandemic has gripped the world with more than double the rate of the virus. Have the steps that have been taken in the guise of the virus, and the fear that has gripped the world, leading to a total mental breakdown of society, justified?” Yohan Tengra, convenor of Anarchy for Freedom, a researcher & expert on the New World Order, concluded, “The choices we make now will determine whether we head into a future of total technological, medical, and mental human slavery, or into a world where human freedom and our fundamental natural rights are upheld. We urgently need to stop complying with our own enslavement and reject vaccines, 5G and everything else that harms us, & takes our freedom away”. The meeting also resolved to extend solidarity to the national call of the Farmers & Workers of India for their march to Delhi on 26-27th November, to demand their due rights. Lockdowns are being used as political weapons to crush legitimate forms of democratic dissent. Awaken India will be joining the Mumbai protests, gathering at Kotwal Garden, Dadar, on 26th November at 12.30pm. They further appeal to all people’s organisations to take to the streets and extend their active support to Farmers and Workers of India. Constituents of Awaken India will continue to strive to expose the […]

November 1st, 2020: “In Mumbai, more than 100 people gathered at Dadar’s Shivaji Park on Sunday evening, and protests were also seen in Delhi, Rajkot, Ranchi, Uttarakhand, Bangalore, Kolkata and Haryana. A group called ‘Awaken India’ has been holding such protests for the past six months, since the lockdown was first implemented..Those who gathered in the city on Sunday were also protesting against “the corrupt media and various governments in the country. Speaking to mid-day, Yohan Tengra, 23, one of the protesters, claimed, “The rising number of cases is based on tests that are highly unreliable according to many experts all over the world. Doctors have criticised the Indian Council of Medical Research’s guidelines that are very broad, and doctors have the liberty of putting COVID-19 on death certificates even when the people have tested negative. Faulty tests and broad death classification guidelines have created the illusion of a pandemic.” – Gaurav Sarkar, Midday

2nd October, 2020: “On Friday morning, hundreds of anti-mask activists gathered at the Marine Drive in Mumbai to raise their voice against the government’s rule that makes it mandatory to wear masks in open public spaces. The protestors questioned the mandatory mask-and-vaccine policy. They demanded that the government should end the lockdown. According to the protestors, they have the right to choose the treatment they want to get, and there should be no compulsion on them to get tested for the Covid-19 infection in any case. The protest was supposed to occur at the Gandhi statue opposite Mantralaya at 11 am, but it was shifted to Marine Drive when police took away their banners and were forced to leave. 23-year-old activist Yohan Tengra said that people are facing breathing problems because of the masks. “We are not against people wearing masks, but it should not be forced upon them,” he added….. One of the protestors that were raising voice against the mandatory mask order was Feroze Mithiborwala. He is researching the alleged New World Order for more than 23 years… he believes that the fear that is being created around Covid-19 is only to put money in the pockets of big pharma and tech companies… He alleged that N95 masks are a ‘sham’ and only create a placebo effect. In reality, according to him, wearing a mask is more dangerous as the person will breathe back Carbon Dioxide captured within the masks. He said, “If people feel they are safe wearing masks, then please do. But others who don’t feel comfortable, it shouldn’t be forced upon them.” – via OP India

Mask Mouth: A common dental problem that people are reporting due to prolonged use of face mask By TimesofIndia.com, Sep 30, 2020 https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/health-news/mask-mouth-a-common-dental-problem-that-people-are-reporting-due-to-prolonged-use-of-face-mask/articleshow/78403231.cms “What is the mask mouth?If you experience bad breath after wearing the mask for longer hours, then you are not alone. Dentists are quite commonly dealing with this complaint that has become quite common these days. We all experience bad breath from time to time, but mask-wearing has made it more prevalent. Not only bad breath, but it is also leading to other dental issues like cavities, tooth decay, and inflamed gum tissue. Even people with no history of any dental problem are facing the problem of inflammation and cavities….” Read the full article here.

Face masks make you stupid:Why face masks are a form of dehumanisation by Patrick Fagan, originally published in The Critic, 28 July 2020 https://thecritic.co.uk/face-masks-make-you-stupid/ In Joost Meerloo’s analysis of false confessions and totalitarian regimes, The Rape of the Mind, he coins a phrase for the ‘dumbing down’ of critical resistance – menticide. “In the totalitarian regime,” he wrote, “the doubting, inquisitive, and imaginative mind has to be suppressed. The totalitarian slave is only allowed to memorise, to salivate when the bell rings.” Face masks make you suggestible; they make you more likely to follow someone else’s direction and do things you wouldn’t otherwise do Neolithic man had a similar problem dealing with his livestock. Homo sapiens’ success has relied not insignificantly on cattle – their dairy, meat, leather and manure. Yet the cow’s ancestor, the auroch, was quite a different beast. It was fast, aggressive and dangerous – hardly conducive to be corralled into predictable channels of behaviour. So, about 10,500 years ago, man started to deliberately breed the most docile aurochs for domestication. The key word here is docile, which comes from the Latin docere, meaning “to teach” (as does, say, ‘doctorate’ and ‘document’). Being docile means being compliant and following commands, which means submitting to a system of thought. Whereas animals, however, typically need to be bred to have a higher level of reasoning to be taught commands, human beings, already being quite smart, need to be dumbed down. You won’t disobey an order if you lack the cognitive ability to question it. This is particularly pertinent to the smooth running of a modern world system which relies on millions of individual souls, each with their own nuanced life history and perspective, thinking and acting in the same way. The empirical literature has shown that compliance and suggestibility are negatively related to intelligence (e.g., Gudjonsson, 1991). In consumer psychology, there is even a technique called ‘disrupt-then-reframe’: bamboozle people first and they’ll be more likely to buy what you’re selling (Davis & Knowles, 1999). Ultimately, the common denominator for increasing suggestibility is switching off executive function in the prefrontal cortex – disabling the superego, the conscience, the internal monologue. Without Jiminy Cricket on his shoulder, Pinocchio would never have become a real boy – he would have always remained a puppet. Modern society is shot through with things that make us similarly dumb (literally, unable to speak). The effect of television, for example, as Meerloo wrote, is to “catch the mind directly, giving people no time for calm, dialectical conversation with their own minds.” The mind-numbing, irrational effect of visual communication has been recognised throughout history. Not for nothing did religions talk about the word of God and forbid graven images. Unsurprisingly, empirical studies showing that watching television makes you stupid in both the short- and long-term (Hoang et al., 2016; Lillard & Peterson, 2011). This is to say nothing of pornography, which is now consumed by 98% of men but known to inhibit the part of the brain dealing with conscience and consciousness, the prefrontal cortex (Kuhn & Gallinat, 2014). Moving from circuses to bread, alcohol, of course, reduces cognitive function in the short-term (Hindmarch & Sherwood, 1991). Even at moderate levels of consumption, it accelerates cognitive decline in older age (Topiwala et al., 2017). Junk food, likewise, makes it harder to think in the short-term (Barnes & Joyner, 2012) and harms cognitive ability in the long-term (Reichelt & Rank, 2017). Fluoride has become something of a cliché of conspiracy theorists; being added to the public water supply in multiple countries around the world, ostensibly to reduce tooth decay. However, the evidence supporting the dental benefits of fluoridated water is poor, while many studies have shown it can damage tooth aesthetics via fluorosis (McDonagh et al., 2000). Many more studies have found that fluoridated water lowers the population’s intelligence (e.g., Borman & Fyfe, 2013; Green et al., 2019; Lu et al., 2000; Rocha-Amador et al., 2007; Wang et al., 2008). Which brings us to face masks. Face masks can now be added to the list of mandates that make you stupid. As if Piers Morgan feverishly promoting them weren’t evidence enough, here are the facts on why you absolutely, categorically should not wear a face mask. They make you suggestible; they make you more likely to follow someone else’s direction and do things you wouldn’t otherwise do. In short, they switch off your executive function – your conscience. A great example comes from a study by Mathes and Guest (1976), who asked participants how willing they would be, and how much they would have to be paid, to carry a sign around the university cafeteria reading “masturbation is fun” (this being 1976, doing such a thing would be considered embarrassing; these days it will probably earn you a course credit!). The results showed that when people wore a mask, they were more likely to carry the sign and required less money to do so ($30 compared to $48, on average). Meanwhile, Miller and Rowold (1979) presented Halloween trick-or-treaters with a bowl of chocolates and told them they were allowed to take only two each. When the children thought they weren’t being watched, they helped themselves. Children without a mask broke the rule, taking more chocolates, 37% of the time, compared to 62% for masked children. The authors concluded that masks “lead to lower restraints on behaviour”. The effect has similarly been found online: the online disinhibition effect refers to the tendency for people to act antisocially when anonymous online (Suler, 2004). There is even an infamous trolling movement calling itself Anonymous and using a mask as its symbol. The disinhibiting effects of wearing a mask are described by psychologists in terms of a suspension of the superego’s control mechanisms, allowing subconscious impulses to take over. Saigre (1989) wrote that masks ‘short-cut’ conscious defence systems and encourage “massive regression” to a more primitive state; Castle (1986) wrote that eighteenth century masquerades allowed mask-wearers to release their repressed hedonistic and […]

From Ministry Of Health & Family Welfare Guidelines: 4.1. Persons having no symptoms are not to use maskMedical masks should not be used by healthy persons who are not having any symptomsbecause it create a false sense of security that can lead to neglecting other essential measures such as washing of hands.Further, there is no scientific evidence to show health benefit of using masks for non-sick persons in the community. In fact erroneous use of masks or continuous use of a disposable mask for longer than 6 hours or repeated use of same mask may actually increase risk of getting an infection.Remember,a mask should only be used by health workers, caretakers and individuals with respiratory symptoms,such as fever and cough. The following measures ARE NOT effective against COVID 2019 and can be harmful:•Smoking•Wearing Multiple Masks
