She was 96. She was widely regarded for her political shrewdness‚ drawing particular praise for her keen electoral instincts‚ down-to-earth appeal‚ and work on behalf of the White House‚ including serving as an envoy to Latin America. Carter devoted herself to several social causes in the course of her public life‚ including programs that supported health care resources‚ human rights‚ social justice and the needs of elderly people. “Twenty-five years ago‚ we did not dream that people might someday be able actually to recover from mental illnesses‚” Carter said at a mental health symposium in 2003. “Today it is a very real possibility.” “For one who has worked on mental health issues as long as I have‚” she added‚ “this is a miraculous development and an answer to my prayers.” In late May‚ the Carter Center‚ the couple’s human rights group‚ announced that she had been diagnosed with dementia. “She continues to live happily at home with her husband‚ enjoying spring in Plains and visits with loved ones‚” the organization said in a statement. Bess Truman‚ the wife of President Harry Truman‚ is the only first lady to have outlived Rosalynn Carter‚ according to the National First Ladies Library. (Truman died in 1982‚ at 97.) Jimmy and Rosalynn were the longest-married presidential couple in U.S. history.

What is the biggest threat to America….right now? Joe Biden?  Certainly he’s not helping things. Barack Obama?  The puppet master behind Biden. Soros?  The puppet master behind Biden. China?  Always on the list. Democrats? RINOs? Election theft? Nuclear attack? All of these things are serious threats‚ but I want to tell you about something often not discussed….but the impact could be bigger than anything above. Yes‚ really. It’s called an EMP attack. You may have heard about it before‚ but it’s not commonly discussed. So let me break it all down for you… Likelihood of an EMP Attack: Technological Feasibility: Creating an effective EMP weapon is technologically challenging. It typically involves nuclear detonations at high altitudes or sophisticated non-nuclear devices. The complexity of these technologies limits their availability mostly to advanced military powers. Global Politics and Deterrence: The United States has strong diplomatic relations and defense systems‚ which act as deterrents against direct attacks from other major powers. The doctrine of mutually assured destruction (MAD) often serves as a deterrent against nuclear-based EMP attacks‚ as such an attack could lead to a full-scale nuclear war. Non-State Actors: The greater risk may come from non-state actors (like terrorist groups) who might not be deterred by traditional means. However‚ their access to the necessary technology is typically quite limited. Natural EMPs: There is also the risk of a natural EMP caused by a solar storm‚ similar to the Carrington Event of 1859. While not a deliberate attack‚ the effects could be similarly disruptive. Most Likely Ways an EMP Could Happen: High-Altitude Nuclear Detonation: A nuclear bomb detonated high in the atmosphere could create a powerful EMP. This would require intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capabilities. Non-Nuclear EMP Devices: These devices can be designed to target specific areas or systems without the broader destruction caused by nuclear weapons. However‚ their effective range and power are generally less than a nuclear EMP. Cyber-Physical Attacks: A coordinated cyber-attack on power grids and electronic systems could mimic some effects of an EMP‚ though technically different. Solar Storms: A severe solar storm hitting the Earth could create natural EMP effects‚ disrupting electrical systems and communications. The Fallout From an EMP: Power Outage: EMPs can knock out electricity everywhere‚ like turning off a big light switch for a whole city or even a country. No Internet or Phones: Imagine not being able to call‚ text‚ or use the internet. That’s what happens with an EMP. Water Supply Issues: Without power‚ getting clean water to homes and buildings becomes really hard. Food Shortage: Stores need electricity to keep food fresh. Without it‚ a lot of food can go bad quickly. No Heating or Air Conditioning: Houses and buildings would lose heating in winter and air conditioning in summer. Hospitals Struggle: Hospitals rely on power for life-saving equipment. An EMP could put many lives at risk. Transportation Problems: Cars‚ buses‚ and trains might not work‚ making it tough to get around. Banking and Money Problems: ATMs and credit card machines need power‚ so buying things could become really difficult. Emergency Services Disrupted: Police‚ fire‚ and ambulance services could be severely affected. Danger to Airplanes: Planes flying when an EMP hits could have serious trouble. Schools Closing: With no power‚ schools might have to close. No Radio or TV: News and entertainment through radio and TV would be cut off. Damage to Electronics: An EMP can break things like computers‚ TVs‚ and even some toys. Industrial Shutdowns: Factories and other big workplaces would have to stop work. Fuel Shortages: Gas stations need power to pump gas‚ so cars might run out of fuel. Increased Crime: Without alarms or streetlights‚ there might be more thefts and other crimes. Health Risks from Spoiled Food: Without fridges‚ food can spoil and make people sick. Waste Disposal Problems: Trash and sewage systems might not work properly. Mental Health Stress: The sudden change and uncertainty can be really stressful and scary for people. Long-Term Recovery: Fixing everything after an EMP can take a really long time and be very hard. Life In America Following an EMP Attack: Week 1: Immediate Chaos and Confusion In the immediate aftermath‚ there would be widespread panic and confusion. The EMP‚ having disabled all electronics‚ would leave individuals without means of communication; cell phones‚ internet‚ and radio would be rendered useless. Transportation systems would grind to a halt. Modern vehicles with electronic components would fail‚ leading to widespread traffic jams and stranded individuals. Emergency services would be severely hampered‚ struggling to respond to incidents without their usual communication and transportation infrastructure. There would be a run on stores for essential supplies as people quickly realize the severity of the situation. This could lead to shortages and even looting in some areas. Week 2-3: Adapting to the New Reality Communities would begin to adapt. Those with older‚ non-electronic vehicles and equipment would find themselves at an advantage. People would turn to bicycles‚ horses‚ or simply walking for transportation. The lack of refrigeration and electronic banking systems would lead to a reliance on cash transactions and bartering. Localized trading systems might emerge. Battery-operated or hand-crank radios would become vital sources of information‚ assuming some radio stations could continue broadcasting. There would be a significant increase in manual labor as machines and automated systems used in manufacturing and agriculture would be non-operational. Week 4 and Beyond: Long-Term Adjustments Social structures would begin to shift‚ with communities becoming more localized and self-sufficient. Neighbors would need to work together for survival‚ leading to a resurgence of community-oriented living. Food shortages could become a serious issue. Without modern transportation and preservation methods‚ communities would have to rely on locally sourced food‚ leading to a rise in gardening and small-scale farming. Health care would face severe challenges. Hospitals would struggle without modern equipment‚ leading to a reliance on more traditional methods of treatment and an increased need for medical knowledge within communities. Education would revert to non-digital methods. Schools‚ if they remained open‚ would rely on books and oral teaching methods. Over time‚ there might be efforts to rebuild some form of electrical infrastructure‚ but this would be a slow and difficult process given the extent of the damage caused by the EMP. Now you see what I’m talking about? As usual‚ I don’t like to just leave you hanging with the bad news….I like to give you solutions! And I have one here. You know I’ve got you covered! There ARE things you can do right now to make sure you and your family will stay safe and be able to survive in the event we end up living through an EMP strike. Imagine losing all lights and heating in the winter? Negative 10 degrees outside and suddenly you’re back in the stone age? Follow the link below to find out what you can do right now.

Investigative journalist Ben Swann posted footage from the Chinese Communist Party’s Xiong’an City project‚ one of the world’s largest construction sites. Xiong’an has been called the “city of the future” and Xi Jinping reportedly has been personally involved in making decisions for its development. The massive site is set to be a 15-minute city. “They plan to relocate ≈4 million people from Beijing to Xiongan under a mixed system of both voluntary and coercive measures‚” Ben Swann writes. “Every lamppost in the city will be equipped with facial recognition cameras. Every entrance and exit will be have checkpoints placed on them‚” he added. Xiong’an is a glimpse of the future living arrangements the globalists dream for the masses.

And THIS is what Bill Gates‚ Klaus Schwab‚ the World Economic Forum and the UN have planned for YOU too America: https://t.co/yiFzRMnOrj — SGTreport (@SGTreport) November 18‚ 2023 Chinese-owned Global Times said Xiong’an is “a national project of millennial significance.” Per Global Times: On May 10‚ Xi‚ also the general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee‚ inspected Xiong’an and presided over a meeting on promoting its development. The transformation of the Xiong’an New Area from ground zero to an emerging sophisticated modern city within a mere six years is miraculous‚ Xi remarked‚ according to the Xinhua News Agency. In April 2017‚ China announced plans to set up the Xiong’an New Area‚ which would be on par with the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and the Shanghai Pudong New Area. The development of Xiong’an embodies many long-term development goals for China‚ including high-quality‚ innovation-driven‚ and green development‚ and ultimate Chinese modernization‚ experts noted. Underscoring the significance of Xiong’an‚ Xi has visited the city three times since 2017. During the latest trip on May 10‚ Xi visited various places in the city‚ including the construction sites of an inter-city railway station and an international trade center‚ where he learned about the development of key infrastructure projects and major projects launched for the purpose of relieving Beijing of functions nonessential to its role as the capital. Xi said more efforts should be made to develop a multifaceted and integrated transportation network and make full use of underground space so as to build a “city of the future” free of urban maladies. “President Xi was standing right here at this spot. Right here‚” highlighted Fu‚ assistant to the general manager of Xiongshang Development Company under China Xiong’an Group‚ as he vividly recalls the trip with palpable excitement. “We were very happy to witness this scene.” With an investment of 20.9 billion yuan ($2.99 billion)‚ the site has a total of construction area of 1.6 million square meters‚ covering different building units‚ such as rail‚ office buildings‚ and hotels. As an important transportation hub in Xiong’an‚ the complex is composed of four different rails‚ including one high-speed railway line‚ an R1 to terminal‚ and two sub lines‚ as well as different buildings‚ transforming the complex into a region with offices‚ hotels‚ apartments‚ as well as rail transit‚ and aviation services‚ Fu told the Global Times. All the transfer can be realized under the ground upon completion‚ Fu said‚ adding that the farthest transfer distance does not exceed 270 meters‚ and it can realize a transfer to any rail in three-minute at the same-floor. While the inter-city railway station and an international trade center‚ among many other major projects are still under construction‚ many have also been completed and Xiong’an’s calling cards of being a smart‚ green‚ and innovative are already taking shape. By the end of 2022‚ Xiong’an had already seen an inflow of more than 510 billion yuan in investment earmarked for 240 major projects‚ according to the China Media Group. Another 270 key projects are expected to be launched in 2023‚ with a total investment of 664 billion yuan. Also‚ state-owned enterprises have set up more than 140 institutions in the city. Thousands of companies‚ most of which specialize in science and technology‚ have been registered in Xiong’an. “The blockchain lab‚ which was established in 2020‚ with the goal of conducting research on and applying blockchain technologies and concepts to the construction of a new smart city‚ also highlights Xiong’an’s focus on innovation‚” the outlet added. “According to the plan‚ Xiong’an will form a ’15-minute living circle‚’ that is‚ the residents can walk 5 minutes to send children to kindergartens‚ walk 10 minutes to vegetable markets and primary schools‚ and 15 minutes to hospitals and middle schools‚” the outlet continued.

The Xiong’an New Area project has the support of President Xi Jinping and other top leaders in China. As a millennium plan‚ a project with national significance‚ it is the first National New Area to be established on a national scale in the 21st century‚ following in the footsteps of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and the Pudong New Area in Shanghai. The construction of Xiong’an New Area as a model for undertaking high-quality development throughout China and a new driving force for the modern economic system has great significance in terms of national strategy. This is because Xiong’an New Area‚ China’s city of the future‚ seeks to be a leading-edge city that delivers innovative intelligence‚ a green ecology‚ and wellbeing (happiness and livability) on the basis of an ultra-long-term plan that runs until 2035. Although people’s values are changing as a result of COVID-19‚ bringing with it changes in their idea of an ideal city‚ the plan for Xiong’an New Area is proceeding steadily without major changes‚ having been informed by the study of a long history based on the wisdom of many of the world’s experts (see Figure 1). After first looking back over the history of urbanization in China‚ this article gives an overview of the plan for Xiong’an New Area and reports on the progress of construction. *Image from Global Innovation Report (China’s City of the Future: Xiong’an New Area)* Read the full Global Innovation Report document HERE.
