<p><strong>If you are</strong> a regular listener to our <a href="https://www.nowtheendbegins.com/category/nteb-podcast/"><strong>weekly Podcasts</strong></a>, you have heard us discussing <strong><a href="https://www.nowtheendbegins.com/category/the-tech-titans/">the Tech Titans</a></strong> more than a few times. Like Ford, Vanderbilt and Morgan before them, the tech titans have all the money, all the power, and as we told you last year, they’ve leeched onto Donald Trump to have unfettered access to the Federal ‘candy store’. They are all dark and shadowy figures, but perhaps the darkest of the bunch is Peter Thiel, the billionaire who built PayPal, runs <strong><a href="https://www.nowtheendbegins.com/president-trump-tasks-palantir-with-creating-national-database-on-american-citizens-with-foundry-software-1984/">Palantir</a></strong>, and loves to talk about the Antichrist. Now tech titan Thiel is funding a company to create enriched uranium for use in nuclear weapons. That’s the memo.</p>
<p>“And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: <strong>and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do</strong>.” <strong><a id="Gen_11:6" href="popverse://bible+av/Gen_11:6">Genesis 11:6</a> (KJB)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Let me tell you</strong> a funny thing about fog you might not have considered. When I lived in Los Angeles and found myself driving back after being out of town, the dense ‘bowl of fog’ could be clearly seen. Yet as you drew closer to it, it grew fainter and fainter until completely disappearing from view when you had arrived in it. Bible prophecy is much the same way. Remember before smart phones, smart televisions, AI and all that other stuff we were warned about, remember how resolved you were to never have anything to do with the things of the <strong><a href="https://www.nowtheendbegins.com/category/mark-of-the-beast/">Mark of the Beast System</a></strong>? Now we <em>live</em> in that system, and almost no one’s sounding the alarm. Funny how that works, isn’t it?</p>
<h2>Billionaire Peter Thiel backing first privately developed US uranium enrichment facility in Paducah</h2>
<p><strong>FROM WKMS NEWS:</strong> In an email sent to WKMS, General Matter said that the company intends to make a “historic investment in American nuclear infrastructure” by restoring a shuttered facility in Paducah. The gaseous diffusion plant in McCracken County, which ceased operations in 2013, was built by the U.S. government in the 1950s to bolster national defense efforts – and later to generate fuel for nuclear power plants.</p>
<p>“Seventy-five years ago, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission selected Paducah to help lead the nation’s original enrichment efforts,” the email reads. “We are proud to return to and rebuild this historic site to power a new era of American energy independence.”</p>
<p><strong>Local officials</strong>, including Paducah Mayor George Bray, confirmed that General Matter has been in talks to develop this facility in recent months. This business development follows a series of executive orders from President Donald Trump that have aimed to bolster nuclear energy development in the U.S.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Is billionaire tech titan Peter Thiel warning us about the coming Antichrist, or preparing us to receive him? So glad I am SAVED and won&#8217;t be here for when he arrives after the Rapture. <a href="https://t.co/QZ5hUv1KS6">pic.twitter.com/QZ5hUv1KS6</a></p>
<p>— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) <a href="https://twitter.com/NowTheEndBegins/status/1949197305191514541?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 26, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><strong>The former</strong> Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant has been at the center of multiple major development talks over the past year. Earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Energy listed it as being among the four sites being considered for “cutting edge data center and energy generation projects.” Plans are moving forward to establish the world’s first commercial laser uranium enrichment plant on property adjacent to PGDP. The Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce has also helped to push these development talks along by securing a DOE grant to commission a study on the site’s re-industrialization potential.</p>
<blockquote><p>General Matter is led by former SpaceX employee Scott Nolan, a partner at the venture capital firm Founders Fund.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Formed in 2024</strong> in San Francisco, California, the company announced itself on the social media platform X in April as being “incubated within” Founders Fund by a team of people from SpaceX, Tesla, Anduril, national labs and the U.S. Department of Defense. That VC fund was co-founded by billionaire investor Peter Thiel, who World Nuclear News reported joined General Matter’s board earlier this year. Thiel – who also co-founded the controversial data-mining firm Palantir contracted by the U.S. government to track migrant movements – is also listed as a director among the company’s initial officers on General Matter’s business filing with the Kentucky Secretary of State’s office, which was filed Tuesday.</p>
<p><strong>In December 2024</strong>, General Matter was one of six companies added to the DOE’s list of contractors they could procure low enriched uranium from to incentivize the development of new uranium production capacity in the country.</p>
<p><strong>A formal announcement event</strong> is planned for Aug. 5 in Paducah. According to General Matter’s email, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, U.S. Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul and Congressman James Comer are all expected to be on hand, along with members of the nuclear industry and local officials.</p>

But what does that mean, exactly? Why should you care about how you look if what you know is your major offering to people? Well, our guest, Alana Newman, author of the Beauty First Method, Speaking Coach/Expert, and Health</p>
<p>Freedom Activist is here to tell you. How you present and what you present is as important as how what you present is packaged. For example: would you rather take health advice from an<br />
out of shape, pasty scientist from Baylor College with bad skin or from a nutrition and wellness expert with glowing skin, clear eyes, and with a physique that exudes health, fitness, and a dedication to wellness? Beauty IS in the eye of the beholder, and so is the lack of beauty. Whatis beauty? Well, Alana has a great answer for this and why your physical beauty is really a meter for your internal physical and mental health. If you look awful, you probably feel awful,and therefore your health is probably awful too. But it doesn&#8217;t have to be.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t miss this riveting conversation with Alana Newman and Host Brian O&#8217;Shea. Ms. Newman connects the dots between beauty, health, power, influence, and ties it all into the uniforms we all wear to promote the ideas we are selling. That uniform is our physical health which presents as our individual beauty. As a bonus, Alana and Brian also analyze how various present themselves, sometimes mimicking the uniforms of those they seek to undermine. From the Polly&#8217;s to the Copeland&#8217;s Brian and Alana dissect such agents of distraction so you can learn how to recognize your<br />
enemies and how to avoid or disrupt or utterly annihilate them…at least in the social media<br />

However, the video of the speech has had a new lease of life on the X platform and is said to have gone viral. Dr David Cartland shared the video and wrote in his Tweet:</p>
<p>“<em><strong>Penny is dropping everywhere! I wouldn’t want to be a covid cultist/jabaholic doctor/nurse or one that knows deep down what’s happened and the collateral harms/injuries/deaths but is remaining silent to calling out the biggest medical fraud/crime ever committed on humanity! Justice is coming…..the house of cards is collapsing</strong></em>!”</p>
<p>The speech was from the 2nd Coronavirus Symposium was held in the German Bundestag, which Dr Homburg attended on 11th November 2023 along with several prominent voices against unscientific measures and the harmful vaccination campaign.</p>
<p>Among others, Dr. Michael Yeadon, Prof. Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, Prof. Dr. Stefan Hockerz, Prof. Dr. Andreas Sönnichsen and many other important critical voices who have spoken out during the coronavirus era.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">“Aufarbeitung”</h3>
<p>Prof. Dr. S. Homburg’s speech, published on his website, provides a fact-based overview of the coronavirus era and although a translation of the speech has been published below, the word “Aufarbeitung” is a German word that according to <a href="https://tkp.at/autoren/peter-f-mayer/">Dr. Peter F Mayer</a> is not easy to translate into English. He has however, provided what he says is best possible translation which he says is probably</p>
<p>“<em><strong>To deal with, to come to terms with the past</strong></em>”.</p>
<p>Dr Mayer has provided more of his thoughts on the word Aufarbeitung which readers may also find interesting. He continues:</p>
<p>“<em>The main question of Aufarbeitung in a historical context is how Germans deal with their fascist past. This question has been addressed by the philosophers Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer, among others, and their critical theory has had a profound influence on German post-war history</em>.</p>
<p>Here is one of Adorno’s important thoughts:</p>
<p><strong>“The past will only be dealt with when the causes of what has happened have been removed. It is only because these causes still exist that the ties of that past have not yet been severed.”</strong></p>
<p>Benito Mussolini said bluntly about this thought of Th. W. Adorno: “Fascism is more appropriately called corporatism, because it is the fusion of the power of the State and the power of the corporations.”</p>
<p>If you want to look more closely at this subject, take the <a href="https://ibmandtheholocaust.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">story of IBM</a> as an example. If it had not been for this American company, Auschwitz would not have been possible on this scale. Of course, this does not mean that the German responsibility can be brushed aside. (<a href="https://tkp.at/2023/11/13/prof-dr-stefan-homburg-beim-2-corona-symposium-im-deutschen-bundestag/">Source</a>)</p>
<p>One of the conditions for Aufarbeitung – overcoming – is that we can talk about the past without prejudice and accept it. This dialogue between our friends and acquaintances is a task for each of us. It is the only way to heal wounds and to preserve relationships. (Such a clarification of the past has not happened in Germany, or has only partially happened. For example, personal traumatic war experiences were not discussed. The consequences are still felt today.) <a href="https://tkp.at/2023/11/13/prof-dr-stefan-homburg-beim-2-corona-symposium-im-deutschen-bundestag/">(source</a>)</p>

<p>“The possible redemption from the predicament of irreversibility──of being unable to undo what one has done──is the faculty of forgiving. The remedy for unpredictability, for the chaotic uncertainty of the future, is contained in the faculty to make and keep promises. Both faculties depend upon plurality, on the presence and acting of others, for no man can forgive himself and no one can be bound by a promise made only to himself.” (<a href="https://tkp.at/2023/11/13/prof-dr-stefan-homburg-beim-2-corona-symposium-im-deutschen-bundestag/">source</a>)</p>
<p><a href="https://cenlib.tau.ac.il/sites/cenlib.tau.ac.il/files/media_server/Wiener/forgiveness_arendt.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">And</a>:</p>
<p>“Without being forgiven, released from the consequences of what we have done, our capacity to act would, as it were, be confined to one single deed from which we could never recover; we would remain the victims of its consequences forever, not unlike the sorcerer’s apprentice who lacked the magic formula to break the spell.</p>
<p>Without being bound to the fulfillment of promises, we would never be able to keep our identities; we would be condemned to wander helplessly and without direction in the darkness of each man’s lonely heart, caught in its contradictions and equivocalities — a darkness which only the light shed over the public realm through the presence of others, who confirm the identity between the one who promises and the one who fulfills, can dispel. Both faculties, therefore, depend on plurality, on the presence and acting of others, for no one can forgive himself and no one can feel bound by a promise made only to himself; forgiving and promising enacted in solitude or isolation remain without reality and can signify no more than a role played before one’s self.” (<a href="https://tkp.at/2023/11/13/prof-dr-stefan-homburg-beim-2-corona-symposium-im-deutschen-bundestag/">source</a>).</p>

<h3 id="h-we-have-lived-through-a-dark-time" class="wp-block-heading">“We have Lived Through a Dark Time”</h3>
<p>Ladies and gentlemen, we have lived through a dark time. Let us start with the essentials – five essential points.</p>
<p><strong>Firstly</strong>, by 2020, hospital occupancy rates across Germany have fallen to record lows. That is according to the Federal Ministry of Health.</p>
<p><strong>Second</strong>, in 2020 and 2021, there were no more serious respiratory illnesses than usual. The corona has come, the flu has disappeared (according to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) Sentinel).</p>
<p><strong>Thirdly</strong>, no more people died in 2020 than usual, standardised by age. Mortality rates have only been rising since 2021 (based on data from the Federal Statistical Office).</p>
<p><strong>Fourth</strong>, the average age of people who had coronavirus or died from it was 83 years old, while the average age of the other deceased was 82 years old (according to the RKI and the Federal Statistical Office).</p>
<p><strong>Fifth</strong>, Sweden, which did not introduce confinement measures and did not require the wearing of masks, had better results than Germany, according to WHO. So it’s not all down to the measures.</p>
<p><strong>To summarise: from a clinical point of view, in terms of actual illnesses and deaths, nothing special happened. </strong>Everything was normal. These are the facts, and that is the key point. The idea of a pandemic was based solely on a new type of mass, uncaused test, the results of which fluctuated wildly and led people to believe that there were more sicknesses and deaths than normal. This is not true. PCR testing for rhinoviruses may have created similar illusions. It would be possible to continue to create these illusions if the will was there.</p>
<p>How have politicians reacted to a normal clinical situation? They closed kindergartens, schools, shops, churches and businesses for months, isolated the elderly and left them to die alone, destroying their existence. The police banned people from reading books on park benches, harassed young people who went outside and children playing in the snow, and repressed peaceful demonstrators.</p>
<p>Politicians marginalised anyone who had doubts about the meaning of these measures. They told the state-run TV channel ZDF to announce that children are rats carrying viruses and that unvaccinated people are appendages, useless to the body of the nation. We have not heard such talk for 75 years.</p>
<p>Normally, the power of government is limited by the courts, the media and science. This time, they have all failed.</p>
<p><strong>The courts</strong> hardly examined at all whether such measures were adequate, and only relied on two witnesses under the authority of the Minister for Health, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) and the Paul Erlich Institute (PEI).</p>
<p>This gave the government the opportunity to approve the lockdown measures and the vaccination obligation itself. In addition, the courts sent doctors to prisons who, in an ethical manner, used certificates to protect patients from interference with their bodily integrity.</p>
<p>Almost everyone known to criticise such measures has been criminalised, suspended, dismissed, arrested or had their home searched. The Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe cynically declared that the fundamental rights of citizens had not been violated, but that they could no longer be exercised.</p>
<p><strong>The media</strong> continuously published the test figures without mentioning that the clinical situation was normal. It presented the narrative of the PCR without critical scrutiny: Professor Püschel, who was the first to carry out the autopsies, as a racist, Professor Bhakdi as an anti-Semite, and all those who questioned the measures as conspiracy theorists and enemies of the state.</p>
<p><strong>Scientists</strong> in the field, especially epidemiologists and public health doctors, disappeared from view. They were replaced by physicists, transport planners, microbiologists and military experts, who kept the public in suspense with new and erroneous predictions and calculations. For months. Years.<br />

<p><strong>The interpretation of these events (Aufarbeitung) should address three questions.</strong></p>
<p><strong>First</strong>, according to the textbook, at the beginning of a truly dangerous pandemic, the government should reassure the population so that they do not suffer collateral damage. Instead, why did they decide to draw up the so-called Schockpapier, a shocking document which, for example, was used to scare children into suffocating their grandparents? Why was there no doctor on the Shock Document Commission, but a sociologist and a German language teacher? Why did the politicians instigate this scare for years and now claim to have made only a few mistakes at the outset, and that only out of ignorance?</p>
<p><strong>Secondly</strong>, in February 2020, the textbooks and the WHO guidelines advised against measures such as lockdowns or school closures. At that time, the RKI announced that wearing masks is ineffective and corona is usually easy. <a href="https://expose-news.com/2023/03/16/emails-blow-the-covid-pcr-test-scam-out-of-the-water/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mr Drosten</a> emphasised this in all interviews and at the federal press conference. (Note: German virologist Christian Drosten has been instrumental in spreading the coronavirus narrative around the world and is responsible for the PCR tests.)</p>
<p>The same Mr Drosten told the current Federal Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, on a talk show that if it were not for the PCR tests, the pandemic would not even have been noticed. What led to the decision to do something different in March 2020, even though the data already showed that there was no particular risk?</p>
<p>Given that Sweden, which did not have the obligation to wear masks and lockdowns, clearly performed better than Germany, we must also ask whether these measures were really aimed at preventing infections, which they clearly failed to do, or whether they were rather aimed at breaking down people’s resistance to vaccination?</p>
<p><strong>Thirdly</strong>, why did politicians not only allow the administration of an experimental vaccine, but actually force people to use it by imposing 2G/3G rules (2G rule – vaccinated or recovered; 3G rule – vaccinated, recovered or tested) and a compulsory vaccination in certain areas? Why were vaccines authorised on an emergency basis when there was no need? Why were the statistics not published showing that many of the effects caused by vaccines pass without any consequences?</p>
<p>Bestsellers are now appearing with titles that clearly reflect the widespread sentiment: Thomas Lausen’s Intensiv-Mafia, Dr Frank’s Crime of State, or Dr Röhrig’s The Corona Plot. All books were published in large five-figure print runs.</p>
<p>Politicians who refuse to participate in this discourse lose credibility and distance themselves from the electorate. Because of the enormous scale on which the population has been affected, it would have been right to set up a committee of inquiry. Since the Bundestag did not want to do this, I am grateful that today we can contribute in this way to the clarification.<br />

<p>1) All-time low hospital occupancy rate in 2020 During the period under review in 2020, since the launch of COVID-19 in mid-March, Germany has seen a steady decline in hospital admissions, namely by around 30% until the end of May, and then – including the second wave – by 10% thereafter. Over the whole year, these declining figures amount to a 13% decline, As the average length of stay in hospital increased only marginally, the number of days spent in hospital also decreased by 12%. As a result, bed occupancy rates fell to a record low of 67.3% (and 68.6% in intensive care units).</p>
<p>This already takes into account the care of COVID-19 patients, whose inpatient care required on average 2% of all beds and just under 4% of intensive care beds per year, taking into account the over-treatment of long-staying patients, of course, bearing in mind time and geographical peaks.</p>
<p>Federal Ministry of Health, BMG, <a href="https://bitly.ws/32cQN" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reference, page 4</a>.</p>
<p>2) Few serious respiratory diseases. Peaks in March 2018 and at the end of 2022, i.e. before and after the alleged pandemic. No noticeable changes in the intervening years. Changes in cold viruses (influenza, rhinovirus, RSV, coronavirus), with little change in the clinical situation. <a href="https://bitly.ws/32cSF" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reference</a> (RKI).</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-12446" src="https://i0.wp.com/sapereaude.lt/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/image-6-1024x618.webp?resize=639%2C386&amp;ssl=1" alt="" width="639" height="386" /></figure>
<p>3) Age-standardised mortality rates. In 2020, the rates were between 2018 and 2019. Since the start of vaccination in 2021, there has been a significant increase in deaths. Reference (Destatis): <a href="https://bitly.ws/32cXx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a> and <a href="https://bitly.ws/32cXL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. In the latter link, select table 12411-0005.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-12447" src="https://i0.wp.com/sapereaude.lt/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/image-7-1024x547.webp?resize=639%2C341&amp;ssl=1" alt="" width="639" height="341" /></figure>
<p>4) High median age of “corona deaths”. On average, the average age of those who died in the PRR was 83 years, while the average age of the other deaths was 82 years. This indicates that the majority of deaths from coronavirus or coronavirus-related illnesses were among the very old with co-morbidities. However, young people, even children, were frightened.</p>
<p>References (Robert Koch Institute, RKI, and Federal Population Research Institute, BIB): <a href="https://bitly.ws/32cTy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a> and <a href="https://bitly.ws/32cTK" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p>
<p>5) Comparison of Germany with Sweden. According to the WHO, Sweden had a lower overall mortality rate than Germany. It was the only European country that followed the textbooks and guidelines and abandoned closures and compulsory wearing of masks. <a href="https://bitly.ws/32cU3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WDR explanation</a> in German. <a href="https://bitly.ws/32sSY" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Link WHO</a>.</p>
<p>An interesting comparison with Sweden: despite rising infection rates, almost no restrictions have been introduced in this country. Masks were not compulsory, events went on as usual and schools remained open. There were no bans, only recommendations. In the long term, the number of deaths in Sweden rose rapidly. However, according to the WHO, the country’s overall situation today looks good. Reference (<a href="https://bitly.ws/32cU3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WDR</a>).</p>

<p>“It can be a delay in sleep onset, sleep duration so kids are not getting as much sleep through the course of the night and having a bit more difficulty falling asleep,” said Dr. Andrew Adesman of North Shore-LIJ’s Cohen Children’s Medical Center of New York.</p>
<p>An estimated 7% of children worldwide purportedly suffer from ADHD. The condition is marked by difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) reports that 5% of American children have ADHD, while the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 11% of American children suffer with the disorder.</p>
<p>For the new study, researchers analyzed 9 previous studies involving 246 children and teens that looked at the relationship between ADHD medications and sleep.</p>
<p>“Sleep was worse in every analysis that we did,” said study author Katherine M. Kidwell, a psychology doctoral candidate at the University of Nebraska.</p>
<p>“Children with ADHD tend to have terrible sleep already,” Kidwell said. “And then, when they are on stimulant medications, their sleep just gets even worse.” [2]</p>
<p>Kidwell said that parents shouldn’t take their kids off the medications, but noted that the findings suggest that doctors and pediatricians should ask young patients and their parents about any sleep problems in weighing whether the benefits and risks of stimulants when considering whether to prescribe the one of the drugs to a child.</p>
<p>“We’re not saying don’t use stimulant medications to treat ADHD,” Timothy Nelson, an associate professor of psychology the University of Nebraska-Lincoln involved in the study, said in a statement. “They are well tolerated in general and there is evidence for their effectiveness. But physicians need to weigh the pros and cons in any medication decision, and considering the potential for disrupted sleep should be part of that cost-benefit analysis with stimulants.” [3]</p>
<p>About 3.5 million children in the U.S. are prescribed stimulant medications like Adderall and Ritalin, the most common treatments for ADHD.</p>
<p>A CDC report released in September showed the number of ADHD diagnoses have increased dramatically in recent years partly because 1 in 5 children are improperly diagnosed. In a survey of 2,976 families, doctors relied solely on family members’ reports to diagnose kids with ADHD in 18% of cases. This means that, potentially, a massive number of children are taking powerful medications for a condition they don’t even have.</p>
<p>For children who legitimately have ADHD, the problem can often be treated naturally with changes in diet (eliminating sugar, processed grains and other foods that affect blood sugar), lifestyle changes (more activity, less sitting) and herbs such as Siberian ginseng, ginkgo biloba, green oats and gotu kola.</p>
<p>A recent study also suggests that medical marijuana may be more effective at treating ADHD than Adderall.</p>
