1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,128


2
00:00:00,128 --> 00:00:07,380
When you think of who owns all the publishing houses and
who pays the journalists, you know who shapes public opinion.

3
00:00:07,380 --> 00:00:11,820
And you should notice who these
people have friendly sentiments for.

4
00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:15,554
Is independent reporting still possible at all?

5
00:00:15,554 --> 00:00:17,831
I don't believe it is, no.

6
00:00:17,831 --> 00:00:19,054
I haven't a clue.

7
00:00:19,054 --> 00:00:23,945
The official channels, they're all from the government.

8
00:00:23,945 --> 00:00:28,976
The press that currently exists is
definitely not. They are not independent.

9
00:00:28,976 --> 00:00:35,288
I take my news from the public-service
broadcasters. That's the news for me.

10
00:00:35,288 --> 00:00:39,091
Today's news puts you in a bad mood.

11
00:00:39,091 --> 00:00:43,026
Yes, just social media. Nothing more.

12
00:00:43,026 --> 00:00:45,511
Every day, the world is flooded with news.

13
00:00:45,511 --> 00:00:51,452
Countless headlines give the impression that there
is a wide range of coverage, allowing everyone to

14
00:00:51,452 --> 00:00:55,127
form their own opinion. This impression is misleading.

15
00:00:55,127 --> 00:01:02,553
Fact is that most of the world's news comes from
just three agencies, and these three are linked

16
00:01:02,553 --> 00:01:06,986
by one name: HAVAS—the root of all news agencies.

17
00:01:06,986 --> 00:01:14,538
Hundreds of Kla.TV volunteers spent months conducting
investigative research and uncovered astonishing facts.

18
00:01:14,538 --> 00:01:19,658
The freemasons also had their hands in the game
from the very beginning with regard to news agencies.

19
00:01:19,658 --> 00:01:23,074
You'll learn why this is a problem in this broadcast.

20
00:01:23,074 --> 00:01:25,644
With that, I welcome you to Kla.TV.

21
00:01:25,644 --> 00:01:31,382
An investigation by Kla.TV, your
number one independent broadcaster!

22
00:01:31,382 --> 00:01:38,654
When you watch or read the news, it is very likely that the
content comes from one of the three major news

23
00:01:38,654 --> 00:01:45,051
agencies Reuters, Associated Press (AP for
short), or Agence France-Presse (AFP for short).

24
00:01:45,051 --> 00:01:49,855
I know that Reuters and all the
others are really just one big club.

25
00:01:49,855 --> 00:01:54,338
If those three don't report on something,
the information won't get through at all.

26
00:01:54,338 --> 00:01:58,883
Then in fact it's basically as if it was censored.

27
00:01:58,883 --> 00:02:04,001
Of course, for them... that could
definitely be positive for them.

28
00:02:04,001 --> 00:02:07,508
I don't know to what extent they're taking advantage of that.

29
00:02:07,508 --> 00:02:12,204
Everyone's reporting the same thing,
just copying from each other... and so...

30
00:02:12,204 --> 00:02:17,161
A variety of opinion on global events? Not a chance.

31
00:02:17,161 --> 00:02:21,855
…We are concerned about the troubling trend
of irresponsible, one-sided news stories

32
00:02:21,855 --> 00:02:24,091
plaguing our country. …plaguing our country.

33
00:02:24,091 --> 00:02:29,021
The spreading of biased and false news
has become all too common on social media.

34
00:02:29,021 --> 00:02:34,748
More alarming, some media outlets publish these
same fake stories without checking facts first.

35
00:02:34,748 --> 00:02:39,120
The sharing of biased and false news has
become all too common on social media.

36
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:45,420
More alarming. some media outlets publish these
same fake stories without checking facts first.

37
00:02:45,420 --> 00:02:53,617
Unfortunately, some members of the media use their platforms to
push their own personal bias and agenda to control exactly what

38
00:02:53,617 --> 00:02:58,376
people think, and this is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

39
00:02:58,376 --> 00:03:00,906
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

40
00:03:00,906 --> 00:03:03,880
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

41
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,045
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

42
00:03:06,045 --> 00:03:08,685
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

43
00:03:08,685 --> 00:03:11,356
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

44
00:03:11,356 --> 00:03:14,068
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

45
00:03:14,068 --> 00:03:16,810
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

46
00:03:16,810 --> 00:03:19,567
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

47
00:03:19,567 --> 00:03:22,662
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

48
00:03:22,662 --> 00:03:25,388
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

49
00:03:25,388 --> 00:03:27,943
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

50
00:03:27,943 --> 00:03:31,365
"That is extremely dangerous to our democracy."

51
00:03:31,365 --> 00:03:37,253
It is striking that mass media around the world
seem to report in unison in many decisive moments.

52
00:03:37,253 --> 00:03:45,938
Here are two examples that represent numerous other examples
of uniform and manipulative reporting by the mass media.

53
00:03:45,938 --> 00:03:54,569
9/11 – Despite the overwhelming evidence pointing to a controlled
demolition of the three collapsed towers—namely, the Twin Towers

54
00:03:54,569 --> 00:04:00,080
and the adjacent WTC 7—the mainstream media
reported, as a matter of fact, that two

55
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,880
airplanes were said to have caused the collapse.

56
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:14,451
No one questioned the official account, nor did they
explain why the third tower that was not hit—WTC 7—collapsed.

57
00:04:14,451 --> 00:04:20,740
All three towers plummeted to the ground in
free fall and literally crumbled to dust.

58
00:04:20,740 --> 00:04:25,838
What followed as an enforced shock by
the media worldwide is still well known.

59
00:04:25,838 --> 00:04:33,478
With the subsequent so-called “Arab Spring,” the
USA left a trail of blood across the Arab world.

60
00:04:33,478 --> 00:04:42,364
Covid – Although numerous renowned scientists, doctors, and
experts questioned the declared pandemic and the adopted measures,

61
00:04:42,364 --> 00:04:47,193
policymakers pushed through their agenda with an iron hand.

62
00:04:47,193 --> 00:04:54,093
Instead of providing critical or at least balanced coverage,
giving experts a voice, and supporting the

63
00:04:54,093 --> 00:05:01,247
protesters, the mainstream media reported almost
unanimously on virtually every talking-point.

64
00:05:01,247 --> 00:05:06,646
Any critical voice was immediately torn
apart by the media and severely defamed.

65
00:05:06,646 --> 00:05:14,906
Yet the media's true mission should have been to
question politicians and give a voice to genuine experts.

66
00:05:14,906 --> 00:05:23,770
Volker Bräutigam worked 10 years for Germany's ARD's "Tagesschau"
and sees a fundamental problem in the fact

67
00:05:23,770 --> 00:05:30,701
that ARD draws its information primarily
from three sources: dpa/AP, Reuters, and AFP.

68
00:05:30,701 --> 00:05:39,540
Like many other media outlets, Swiss Radio and Television (SRF)
largely relies on news agencies as sources for its reporting.

69
00:05:39,540 --> 00:05:47,898
When asked why a peace march in Ukraine went unreported, the
editorial staff stated: “To date, we have not received a single

70
00:05:47,898 --> 00:05:57,006
report or any video footage on this march from the independent
agencies from which we receive visual material (Reuters, AP, AFP)

71
00:05:57,006 --> 00:06:03,458
"However, if we receive any photos of the
march's arrival in Kyiv, we will report on it."

72
00:06:03,458 --> 00:06:10,623
To understand how the three major news agencies came into being
and how they were able to expand their influence worldwide, it

73
00:06:10,623 --> 00:06:14,794
is important to take a look at the history of the Havas agency:

74
00:06:14,794 --> 00:06:18,052
HAVAS – The First Major Agency

75
00:06:18,052 --> 00:06:29,770
Following the coup d’état led by the French general and
freemason Napoleon Bonaparte in 1799, within 10 years the number

76
00:06:29,770 --> 00:06:35,934
of masonic lodges in France rose from 300 to 1,220 in 1814.

77
00:06:35,934 --> 00:06:38,552
Freemasonry became influential.

78
00:06:38,552 --> 00:06:44,093
Under the influence of the freemason Napoleon, the French
merchant Charles-Louis Havas became a co-owner of

79
00:06:44,093 --> 00:06:49,853
the newspaper *Gazette de France* and was
introduced to the world of journalism for the first time.

80
00:06:49,853 --> 00:06:57,274
In 1835, under King Louis-Philippe I, he founded
what is now the world's oldest news agency, from which

81
00:06:57,274 --> 00:07:01,336
the three most influential agencies of today emerged.

82
00:07:01,336 --> 00:07:07,872
Havas was then funded by the French government under
King Louis-Philippe I, a freemason, and given significant

83
00:07:07,872 --> 00:07:11,443
preferential treatment to spread government propaganda.

84
00:07:11,443 --> 00:07:16,687
The most influential banker in France—and at the
same time a key figure in the French government at

85
00:07:16,687 --> 00:07:20,068
that time—was the freemason James Mayer de Rothschild.

86
00:07:20,068 --> 00:07:25,052
He was an advisor and confidant of the king
and had a significant influence on politics.

87
00:07:25,052 --> 00:07:31,966
The government granted Havas exclusive access to the telegraph
network, which was new at the time and of enormous importance.

88
00:07:31,966 --> 00:07:40,473
Within 25 years, Havas, with the government's help,
eliminated all its competitors and gained a monopoly as France's

89
00:07:40,473 --> 00:07:45,482
news agency, wielding significant international influence.

90
00:07:45,482 --> 00:07:51,832
Havas had undoubtedly become the world's
leading telegraphic news agency of its time.

91
00:07:51,832 --> 00:07:55,586
In light of these circumstances, the writer
Honoré de Balzac expressed outrage at the

92
00:07:55,586 --> 00:07:59,067
organization's founder as early as the 19th century:

93
00:07:59,067 --> 00:08:04,951
"Mr. Havas runs an agency , and he is the first to
receive all the newspapers from every country of the world.

94
00:08:04,951 --> 00:08:12,513
"In this regard, there is only one newspaper written by
him, and all other newspapers draw their information from it."

95
00:08:12,513 --> 00:08:17,205
Around 1914, the idiom that originated primarily from
Switzerland, “Don’t talk Havas” (verzell kän

96
00:08:17,205 --> 00:08:23,154
Hawass), came into use. Since even back then, “Havas” was
already used to mean nonsense, distortion, or a lie.

97
00:08:23,154 --> 00:08:29,435
What seems completely new to many people today was
apparently already a major problem in the 19th century:

98
00:08:29,435 --> 00:08:33,100
mass media that was brought into line and manipulated.

99
00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:41,541
Even back then, the influence of freemasonry was unmistakable, as
powerful freemasons exerted a strong influence on Charles-Louis

100
00:08:41,541 --> 00:08:45,380
Havas and provided significant funding for his agency.

101
00:08:45,380 --> 00:08:49,911
What the Havas agency has to do
with the three largest agencies today:

102
00:08:49,911 --> 00:08:59,444
Two former Havas employees founded their own agencies: Reuters,
which is now one of the three largest news agencies in the

103
00:08:59,444 --> 00:09:04,357
world, and Wolff, later renamed DPA (Deutsche Presseagentur).

104
00:09:04,357 --> 00:09:09,122
It currently holds the license to “market” AP services.

105
00:09:09,122 --> 00:09:16,058
In 1859, Havas entered into a cartel agreement with
his former employees, thereby establishing a de

106
00:09:16,058 --> 00:09:20,740
facto global monopoly on international news reporting.

107
00:09:20,740 --> 00:09:27,591
Later, the U.S.-based Associated
Press (AP) also joined this cartel.

108
00:09:27,591 --> 00:09:32,900
So today there are three major news
agencies that provide the world with information.

109
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:41,080
They all trace their origins back to Charles-Louis Havas or
his model of the modern news agency and formed a joint cartel.

110
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,826
They will be examined in more detail here.

111
00:09:43,826 --> 00:09:46,885
Agence France-Presse, or AFP for short

112
00:09:46,885 --> 00:09:53,890
In 1944, Charles-Louis Havas's agency
was renamed Agence France-Presse (AFP).

113
00:09:53,890 --> 00:10:02,376
The AFP currently has 2,600 employees who report from over 100
countries in six languages, prides itself on being the world’s

114
00:10:02,376 --> 00:10:11,066
leading “fact-checking” network with more than 100 journalists,
is currently participating in 14 projects funded by the European

115
00:10:11,066 --> 00:10:16,837
Commission and other European institutions
to combat online disinformation, and has a

116
00:10:16,837 --> 00:10:20,523
financial agreement with the French government.

117
00:10:20,523 --> 00:10:25,210
AFP is now one of the three largest news agencies in the world.

118
00:10:25,210 --> 00:10:30,920
The Havas Group still exists as the
fifth-largest media group in the world.

119
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,772
The Reuters agency

120
00:10:32,772 --> 00:10:39,968
Paul Julius Reuter worked for Charles-Louis
Havas and founded the Reuters news agency in 1851.

121
00:10:39,968 --> 00:10:45,259
Reuters currently employs 2,500
journalists and 600 photojournalists and

122
00:10:45,259 --> 00:10:49,093
operates approximately 200 offices worldwide.

123
00:10:49,093 --> 00:10:55,046
In 1850, Reuters founder Paul Reuter
collaborated with the Rothschilds in London.

124
00:10:55,046 --> 00:11:00,687
In 1916, the Scottish politician and
freemason Napier assumed the chairmanship.

125
00:11:00,687 --> 00:11:07,921
In 2008 it was acquired by the Thomson
Corporation, whose founder Roy Thomson was a freemason.

126
00:11:07,921 --> 00:11:11,359
Associated Press, or AP for short

127
00:11:11,359 --> 00:11:19,146
AP (U.S.) was founded in 1846, modeled after the Havas
news agency; it is used by 12,000 media outlets and

128
00:11:19,146 --> 00:11:24,039
reaches more than half of the world's population every day.

129
00:11:24,039 --> 00:11:30,603
It receives financial support and grants from the Gates
Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and organizations

130
00:11:30,603 --> 00:11:34,625
such as the Knight Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation.

131
00:11:34,625 --> 00:11:41,178
Founding members such as James Watson Webb
support President and freemason Andrew Jackson.

132
00:11:41,178 --> 00:11:45,312
A massive information war fueled by military influence on AP

133
00:11:45,312 --> 00:11:51,513
As recently as 2009, Tom Curley, then
editor-in-chief of AP, complained that the Pentagon

134
00:11:51,513 --> 00:11:55,117
exerted enormous influence over the agency.

135
00:11:55,117 --> 00:12:03,226
It is said to have 27,000 PR specialists with an
annual budget of a whopping 4.7 billion dollars.

136
00:12:03,226 --> 00:12:11,710
An agency called “Joint Hometown News Service” is
located at a former Air Force base in Antonio, Texas.

137
00:12:11,710 --> 00:12:18,468
There, they created texts and images that were subsequently
distributed to the media with false source assignments.

138
00:12:18,468 --> 00:12:23,717
Curley was threatened by high-ranking generals, who
warned that they would ruin him and the agency if

139
00:12:23,717 --> 00:12:27,164
they insisted on upholding journalistic principles.

140
00:12:27,164 --> 00:12:34,843
In his presentation at the 22nd AZK, Kla.TV founder Ivo
Sasek pointed out the recurrent themes in world events.

141
00:12:34,843 --> 00:12:41,054
He explained how high-degree freemasons around the world
founded countless powerful organizations with the goal

142
00:12:41,054 --> 00:12:44,905
of bringing the world's population under their control.

143
00:12:44,905 --> 00:12:52,280
Based on their own writings, Sasek demonstrates that
high-degree freemasons profess and worship Satan as their god.

144
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:58,057
The latter demands blood sacrifices in the
form of wars, human suffering, and human lives.

145
00:12:58,057 --> 00:13:04,182
To those who are unfamiliar with the strategies and goals of
high-degree freemasons, the numerous crises

146
00:13:04,182 --> 00:13:09,702
and wars are mere coincidences—or simply global
chaos involving an endless number of actors.

147
00:13:09,702 --> 00:13:14,443
However, anyone who has taken the time to understand their goals
and realizes that there is only a

148
00:13:14,443 --> 00:13:19,812
relatively small number of perpetrators will lose
fear and can actively help expose their deeds.

149
00:13:19,812 --> 00:13:26,021
For this reason, and to provide a better overall understanding, we
strongly recommend watching the program shown here (22nd AZK).

150
00:13:26,021 --> 00:13:27,822
Conclusion

151
00:13:27,822 --> 00:13:34,414
Most of the news coverage in the Western
media is provided by three global news agencies.

152
00:13:34,414 --> 00:13:40,709
These three agencies, which have deep involvement in freemasonry,
trace their origins back to Charles-Louis Havas and were already

153
00:13:40,709 --> 00:13:44,406
being criticized as a media cartel well over 100 years ago.

154
00:13:44,406 --> 00:13:52,188
Media reports from these agencies are either reproduced
verbatim or only slightly reworded by the media offices.

155
00:13:52,188 --> 00:13:59,638
Military intelligence is heavily involved and is
investing billions in manipulating news coverage.

156
00:13:59,638 --> 00:14:06,891
Aside from the three major agencies, it is important to note that
BlackRock and Vanguard own nearly 90 percent

157
00:14:06,891 --> 00:14:13,553
of U.S. media companies' shares and also hold
stakes in many international media companies.

158
00:14:13,553 --> 00:14:20,879
These two financial giants hold stakes
in nearly every major company worldwide.

159
00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:29,465
In the business magazine *Bloomberg Businessweek*, experts
predict that by 2028, BlackRock and Vanguard will collectively

160
00:14:29,465 --> 00:14:34,019
manage $20 trillion and own nearly everything on Earth.

161
00:14:34,019 --> 00:14:40,390
According to economics and finance expert Ernst
Wolff, Vanguard is BlackRock's largest shareholder.

162
00:14:40,390 --> 00:14:45,614
Vanguard and BlackRock, in turn, are State
Street's largest shareholders, which means that all

163
00:14:45,614 --> 00:14:49,750
the threads come together in this area as well.

164
00:14:49,750 --> 00:14:57,138
According to Wolff, they represent a behind-the-scenes
power that is stronger than any government in the world.

165
00:14:57,138 --> 00:15:03,225
Dear viewers, the facts presented here about the
enormous interconnections within our so-called

166
00:15:03,225 --> 00:15:07,150
mainstream media make free reporting impossible.

167
00:15:07,150 --> 00:15:12,670
A major newspaper will never publish a critical
report on, say, BlackRock, if this so-called

168
00:15:12,670 --> 00:15:16,806
shadow bank holds the largest stake in that newspaper.

169
00:15:16,806 --> 00:15:24,445
Critical reporting in general—whether on the war industry or the
pharmaceutical lobby—is impossible when BlackRock is a shareholder

170
00:15:24,445 --> 00:15:32,064
in both those sectors and the media conglomerates—true
to the saying, “He who pays the piper calls the tune.”

171
00:15:32,064 --> 00:15:39,190
The solution in times of information warfare is a
free and independent media and an informed public.

172
00:15:39,190 --> 00:15:42,798
There is nothing the perpetrators of all these crises fear more.

173
00:15:42,798 --> 00:15:51,913
You, too, can contribute by sharing broadcasts like
this with others and spreading the word. Thank you!

174
00:15:51,913 --> 00:15:59,954
Spread Kla.TV's uncensored coverage throughout the world!

175
00:15:59,954 --> 00:16:02,878


176
00:16:14,206 --> 00:16:17,756
It was already a pleasure early to throw away the TV

177
00:16:17,756 --> 00:16:20,471
Because mass media news pulls me down and annoys me

178
00:16:20,471 --> 00:16:23,474
They actually swore to report in a balanced way

179
00:16:23,474 --> 00:16:26,421
But for years and decades, you only hear lies

180
00:16:26,421 --> 00:16:29,486
The whole of humanity is blinded by their magic of lies

181
00:16:29,486 --> 00:16:32,743
Every genocide crime they wash clean on TV

182
00:16:32,743 --> 00:16:38,534
How could it be otherwise, if they just belong to them,
who in a diabolically evil way destroy every world peace

183
00:16:38,534 --> 00:16:41,660
Ninety percent of the mass media belong to nine conglomerates

184
00:16:41,660 --> 00:16:44,501
The largest shareholder? – No need to guess

185
00:16:44,501 --> 00:16:50,483
It's Vanguard and also BlackRock. Yes, the investment banks Who
make money from crises and entwine themselves around the earth

186
00:16:50,483 --> 00:16:56,570
Who profit from wars; also make money from reconstruction—
have media outlets worldwide who obey, serve them

187
00:16:56,570 --> 00:17:04,286
How can you expect that they report anything that
is even remotely true, instead of dirty stories?

188
00:17:05,900 --> 00:17:11,819
The power of our office as the
people, as the voice from the light

189
00:17:11,819 --> 00:17:17,745
We tell you now, it's over —this far and no further

190
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:23,465
We have recognized you for what you really are

191
00:17:23,465 --> 00:17:29,574
Take the scepter out of your hands, for it is our time!

192
00:17:29,574 --> 00:17:35,526
There are many tall tales which the media
desperately keeps alive Like the US-staged 9/11 explosions

193
00:17:35,526 --> 00:17:39,340
When the Americans took this as an
opportunity to destroy countries , brought death

194
00:17:39,340 --> 00:17:41,479
and suffering and absolutely dramatic stories

195
00:17:41,479 --> 00:17:44,534
They should have reported, but they didn't

196
00:17:44,534 --> 00:17:47,567
Like in the Corona fairy tale, they just keep their mouths shut

197
00:17:47,567 --> 00:17:53,463
That the "plandemic" was planned - by brazen globalists -
had to be clear to everyone, even to the last journalist

198
00:17:53,463 --> 00:17:59,358
By so many other cases they simply kept quiet about
Because they are the main tool by the drivers of all wars

199
00:17:59,358 --> 00:18:02,537
By Big Pharma, Satanists, financial cults, and even more

200
00:18:02,537 --> 00:18:05,710
Let us pronounce the verdict: "Guilty—and very much!"

201
00:18:05,710 --> 00:18:11,614
The most blood in the world - sticks to the media's
hands Because they would be able to end catastrophes

202
00:18:11,614 --> 00:18:20,878
But they are not free—hanging on the devil’s claws
Now they will fall before us and before all mankind

203
00:18:20,878 --> 00:18:26,814
By power of our office as the people, as the voice from the light

204
00:18:26,814 --> 00:18:32,755
We tell you now, it's over - this far and no further

205
00:18:32,755 --> 00:18:38,523
We have recognized you for what you really are

206
00:18:38,523 --> 00:18:43,967
Taking the scepter out of your hands, for it is our time!

207
00:18:56,556 --> 00:19:02,412
They have pushed the AI - their dangers swept under the
rug have brainwashed the peoples - with mass-media lies

208
00:19:02,412 --> 00:19:05,654
And now many people are discarding their wisdom together

209
00:19:05,654 --> 00:19:08,530
AI regulates almost everything,
and the brain is slowly going limp

210
00:19:08,530 --> 00:19:13,253
Think one step further - where is all this
going to lead? To a slave devoid of will?

211
00:19:13,253 --> 00:19:17,555
Don't let yourself be seduced, . You carry within
you a treasure - which is much greater than that.

212
00:19:17,555 --> 00:19:20,899
The godly intuition - which you already have within you, yes!

213
00:19:20,899 --> 00:19:26,797
In power of our office as the people, as the voice from the light

214
00:19:26,797 --> 00:19:32,736
We tell you now, it's over - this far and no further

215
00:19:32,736 --> 00:19:38,570
We have recognized you for what you really are

216
00:19:38,570 --> 00:19:44,878
Taking the scepter out of your hands, for it is our time!

217
00:19:44,878 --> 00:19:50,804
In power of our office as the people, as the voice from the light

218
00:19:50,804 --> 00:19:56,737
We tell you now, it's over - this far and no further

219
00:19:56,737 --> 00:20:02,468
We have recognized you for what you really are

220
00:20:02,468 --> 00:20:06,705
Take the scepter out of your hands, for it is our time!
