INTRODUCTION
My name is Shoshi Herscu, a 47-year-old woman and an independent
journalist from Haifa, Israel, who survived a childhood growing up
in three different countries: Romania, Israel, and the Ivory Coast
where my father relocated us as he worked as a construction engineer
for the “Sonitra” company. Growing up in such varied countries and
cultures imbued me with an appreciation for their great diversity and
an abhorrence for the mono-culture that is being “engineered” in
today’s world, especially in the West. And although, like most of us,
I came to trust my parents and their surrogates—education, church,
and government—I sensed at an early age that I was being sold “a bill
of goods,” or a certain life perspective and wanted to choose my own.
Living in Africa with its earthy population more in touch with
primal instincts allowed me to develop and trust my intuition
about people and agendas. After returning from Africa, I travelled
extensively with my parents in Europe at a time when traditional
cultures were giving away to the Americanization of the world. I was
a very curious child in general, reading a lot (a real bookworm) and
developing a different perspective from the people around me. I just
love learning about new places, tasting new cuisines, and meeting
new and different people from all over the world all the time. I’m
just intrigued by the diversity and new experiences to have.
It was for this reason that after my undergraduate studies in Israel
and my release from military service, I chose to obtain my MBA in
England (1994-1995). I was interested in international business, and
I wanted a more global perspective. After I graduated, I traveled the
world and got as far as Australia. I enjoyed the atmosphere there,
the great diversity of its landscape, but on the other hand, I noticed
the large number of surveillance cameras in all its cities. I didn’t
know back then that it was one of the “5-Eye Nations.” To me it
was strange, as Australia is supposed to be a democracy. So I asked
others why there were so many surveillance cameras here? People
told me that it’s for “security reasons,” but Australia wasn’t exactly
a terrorist hotspot. While I wasn’t convinced by this explanation, I
didn’t investigate further.
When I was traveling there, the then Israeli Prime Minister,
Itzhak Rabin, was assassinated. I was so shocked that I didn’t want
to return to Israel. I felt that if an Israeli prime minister, one of most
protected people in the world, could be assassinated in Tel Aviv by
a radicalized student, it was no longer a democracy and I didn’t
want to live in such a country. I cried for two days, even though I
disagreed with his views, and was ashamed to leave the house with
my swollen eyes. I did return to Israel at the beginning of 1996.
I worked as a content editor and the Webmaster of Infotour.
co.il, a site covering tourism in Israel, including attractions and
events, which was sponsored by the Ministry of Tourism. Seeing
the commercial need, I became a Hebrew-English translator in
- I’ve been a social activist over the years and an independent
journalist writing about these topics in my blogs. Between 2012-15, I
worked at for pCon, a computers and technology magazine in Israel
after applying for a job as a reporter and writing an investigative
report on encryption in the corporate world. Learning about how
people and companies used encrypted messages via email to hide
information and activities, I got my first glimpse into how pervasive
the control of information had become. I assumed this was a reaction
to government surveillance. I then discovered that a discrete mailing
service (encrypted) was shut off by the government, despite the
business success of this service. 1 I realized that the “Big Brother”
wants to know everything about us and wouldn’t allow any “slips”.
I followed this lead in other investigations and saw how
information was being managed and in many cases hidden from
the public by the government. From this job and others in the
technology sector, I became an avid researcher able to analyze masses
of information and to find the truth about our real reality and
connecting the dots.
In 2013, I started seeing news alerts on covert topics such as
Geoengineering, Chemtrails, and Solar Radiation Management
(SRM), which I ignored for months. I just didn’t give any thought
to these alerts. They appeared too farfetched. My mind was, in the
parlance of technology, just turned off to these indications. Then
something struck me. I looked up at the sky one day and saw that
there were strange cloud shapes like cobwebs; some were spread
across one part of the sky but not in another, and there was no
uniformity in their shapes. I also noticed white tracer lines that
started “swelling” in the middle of the summer where in Israel
we’re supposed to have blue cloudless skies for at least half a year,
and definitely during the summer. I started taking pictures when
I came upon pink clouds. Yes, pink. One day I was so shocked
that it was dark at noon in midsummer that I was speechless. I
took endless photos as evidence for my followers on Facebook, who
apparently weren’t aware of this phenomenon because it wasn’t being
reported—or was it being suppressed?
