Justice Department Releases Information on Efforts to Protect the Right to Vote, Prosecute Election Fraud, and Secure Elections
For Immediate Release
Office of Public Affairs
Consistent with longstanding Justice Department practices and procedures, the department today is providing information about its efforts, through the Civil Rights Division, Criminal Division, National Security Division (NSD), and U.S. Attorneys' Offices throughout the country, to ensure that all qualified voters have the opportunity to cast their ballots and have their votes counted free of discrimination, intimidation, or criminal activity in the election process, and to ensure that our elections are secure and free from foreign malign influence and interference.
Civil Rights Division
The department's Civil Rights Division is responsible for ensuring compliance with the civil provisions of federal statutes that protect the right to vote and with the criminal provisions of federal statutes prohibiting discriminatory interference with that right. This work is often performed in partnership with U.S. Attorneys' Offices.
The Civil Rights Division's Voting Section enforces the civil provisions of a wide range of federal statutes that protect the right to vote including: the Voting Rights Act; National Voter Registration Act; Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act; Help America Vote Act; and Civil Rights Acts. Among other things, collectively, these laws:
Prohibit election practices that have either a discriminatory purpose or a discriminatory result on account of race, color, or language minority status;
Prohibit intimidation of voters;
Allow voters who need assistance in voting because of disability or inability to read or write to receive assistance from a person of their choice (other than agents of their employer or union);
Require minority language election materials and assistance in certain jurisdictions;
Require accessible voting systems for voters with disabilities;
Require that provisional ballots be offered to voters who assert they are registered and eligible to vote in the jurisdiction, but whose names do not appear on poll books;
Require states to provide for absentee voting for uniformed service members serving away from home, their family members also away from home due to that service, and U.S. citizens living abroad; and
Require covered states to offer the opportunity to register to vote through offices that provide driver licenses, public assistance, and disability services, as well as through the mail, and to take steps regarding maintaining voter registration lists.
The Civil Rights Division's Disability Rights Section enforces the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which prohibits discrimination in voting based on disability. The ADA applies to all aspects of voting, including voter registration, selection and accessibility of voting facilities, and the casting of ballots on Election Day or during early voting, whether in-person or absentee.
The Civil Rights Division's Criminal Section enforces federal criminal statutes that prohibit voter intimidation and voter interference based on race, color, national origin, or religion.
Throughout the election cycle, Civil Rights Division attorneys in the Voting, Disability Rights, and Criminal Sections in Washington, D.C., will be ready to receive complaints of potential violations of any of the statutes the Civil Rights Division enforces. The Civil Rights Division will work closely with counterparts at U.S. Attorneys' Offices and other department components to review and take appropriate action concerning these complaints.
Individuals with complaints related to possible violations of the federal voting rights laws can call the Justice Department's toll-free telephone line at 800-253-3931, and can also submit complaints at www.civilrights.justice.gov.
Individuals with questions or complaints related to the ADA may call the Justice Department's toll-free ADA information line at 800-514-0301 or 833-610-1264 (TTY) or submit a complaint through a link on the department's ADA website at www.ada.gov.
Complaints related to violence, threats of violence, or intimidation at a polling place should always be reported immediately to local authorities by calling 911. They should also be reported to the department after local authorities are contacted.
Criminal Division and the Department's 94 U.S. Attorneys' Offices
The department's Criminal Division oversees the enforcement of federal laws that criminalize certain forms of election fraud and vindicate the integrity of the federal election process.
The Criminal Division's Public Integrity Section and U.S. Attorneys' Offices are responsible for enforcing the federal criminal laws that prohibit various forms of election crimes, such as destruction of ballots, vote-buying, multiple voting, submission of fraudulent ballots or registrations, alteration of votes, and malfeasance by postal or election officials and employees. See Justice Manual 9-85.210 (discussing requirements regarding election crime matters); 9-85.300 (discussing approach to ballot fraud); 9-85.400 (discussing application of 18 U.S.C. § 592); 9-85.500 (discussing timing of actions).
The Criminal Division and the U.S. Attorneys' Offices are also responsible for enforcing federal criminal law prohibiting unlawful threats of violence against election workers, and prohibiting voter intimidation and voter suppression for reasons other than race, color, national origin, or religion (as noted above, voter intimidation and voter suppression that has a basis in race, color, national origin, or religion is addressed by the Civil Rights Division often in partnership with the U.S. Attorneys' Offices).
U.S. Attorneys' Offices around the country designate Assistant U.S. Attorneys who serve as District Election Officers (DEOs) in their respective districts. DEOs are responsible for overseeing potential election-crime matters in their districts, and for coordinating with the department's election-crime experts in Washington, D.C.
The U.S. Attorneys' Offices work with specially trained FBI personnel in each district to ensure that complaints from the public involving possible election crimes are handled appropriately. Specifically:
In consultation with federal prosecutors at the Public Integrity Section in Washington, D.C., the DEOs in U.S. Attorneys' Offices, FBI officials at headquarters in Washington, D.C., and FBI special agents serving as Election Crime Coordinators in the FBI's 56 field offices will be on duty while polls are open to receive complaints from the public.
Election-crime complaints should be directed to the local U.S. Attorney's Office or the local FBI field office. A list of U.S. Attorneys' Offices and their telephone numbers can be found at www.justice.gov/usao/districts. A list of FBI field offices and accompanying telephone numbers can be found at www.fbi.gov/contact-us.
Public Integrity Section prosecutors are available to consult and coordinate with the U.S. Attorneys' Offices and the FBI regarding the handling of election-crime allegations.
All complaints related to violence, threats of violence, or intimidation at a polling place should be reported first to local police authorities by calling 911. After alerting local law enforcement to such emergencies by calling 911, the public should contact the Justice Department.
National Security Division
The department's National Security Division (NSD) supervises the investigation and prosecution of cases affecting or relating to national security, including any cases involving foreign malign influence and interference in elections or violent extremist threats to elections. In this context:
NSD oversees matters involving a range of malign influence activities that foreign governments may attempt.
NSD's Counterintelligence and Export Control Section oversees matters involving covert information operations (e.g., to promulgate disinformation through social media); covert efforts to support or denigrate political candidates or organizations; and other covert influence operations that might violate various criminal statutes.
NSD's National Security Cyber Section oversees such matters when they are cyber-enabled (i.e., when online platforms, such as social media and other online services, are central to the commission of the offense), as well as those involving computer hacking of election or campaign infrastructure.
NSD's Counterterrorism Section oversees matters involving international and domestic terrorism and supports law enforcement in preventing any acts of terrorism that impact Americans, including any violent extremism that might threaten election security.
As in past elections, the National Security Division will work closely with counterparts at the FBI and our U.S. Attorneys' Offices to protect our nation's elections from any national security threats. Attorneys from National Security Division sections will be partnered with FBI Headquarters components to provide support to U.S. Attorneys' Offices and FBI field offices to counter any such threats. The Department of Homeland Security also plays its own important role in safeguarding critical election infrastructure from cyber and other threats.
Complaints related to violence, threats of violence, or intimidation at a polling place should always be reported immediately to local authorities by calling 911 and, after local authorities are contacted, then should be reported also to the department.
Protecting the right to vote, prosecuting election crimes, and securing our elections are all essential to maintaining the confidence of all Americans in our democratic system of government. The department encourages anyone with information regarding concerns in these subject areas to contact the appropriate authorities.
The author discusses the presence of graphene oxide in various aspects of our lives, including chemtrails, food, and water, and its potential implications for transhumanism and the augmentation of the human body and mind.
Graphene Oxide in the Environment and the Body
The author claims that graphene oxide has been present in our environment, including chemtrails, food, and water, for the past 10 to 20 years. They state that this is not something that can be easily eliminated from our bodies and the environment. The author suggests that the situation is being exacerbated by people receiving direct injections of graphene oxide into their bloodstream, which can cause adverse reactions in some individuals, such as cytokine storm and fluid buildup in the capillaries around the heart.
Properties of Graphene Oxide
According to the author, graphene oxide is a material that interacts with electrons, light, and magnetism, transmits electricity like a metal, and behaves as a semiconductor. The author also states that graphene oxide can be a good building block for a quantum computer.
Transhumanism and Graphene Oxide
The author suggests that the goal of those working on graphene oxide is to create cyborgs or augmented humans. They believe that the Superman must be an augmented human, and that the goal is not to completely replace human nature, but to augment the body, mind, and other aspects of the individual. The author suggests that graphene oxide, in combination with genetic mRNA revisions and synthetic spike proteins, can be used to achieve this goal, as it can allow for the introduction of poisons into the body.
Conclusion
The author concludes that the presence of graphene oxide in various aspects of our lives, and its potential use in transhumanist efforts, is a concerning issue that requires further investigation and understanding.
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), a new piece of legislation from the European Union (EU), aims to ensure that all large companies in the EU will need to disclose data on the impact of their activities in a management report. In this explainer, we break down how it came about, and what it means for businesses moving forward.
In November 2022, the CSRD was adopted after a vote in the European Parliament with 525 votes in favour, 60 votes against and 28 abstentions. The European Council adopted the proposal on November 28, with the directive entering into force 20 days after publication. The goal is where 'transparency on environmental, social affairs and governance matters [are] to become the norm for large firms.'
What are the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)requirements?
The legislation, as one would expect, is extremely complex. Yet there are several indicators which are relatively easy to digest.
The management report needs to disclose both actual or potential impacts related to a company's own operations, as well as across the value chain, including products, services, business relationships and supply chain. It needs to discuss any management or supervisory boards the company is utilising regarding matters of sustainability, and it needs to be wrapped up in a forward-looking, time-bound manner and provide progress on achieving environmental targets.
There is also an obligation for 'double materiality', meaning sustainable activities of the company and sustainability activities affecting the company need to be reported. Reports need to be freely available.
If this sounds rather like the way ESG reports are going, then you will understand why these moves are taking place.
Why has this come about?
The legislation aims to improve upon the current NFRD, the Non-Financial Reporting Directive – or 'address shortcomings', as the EU puts it. The CSRD looks not only to introduce more detailed reporting requirements, but puts it more in line with the EU's climate goals and the European Green Deal, which includes no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050 among other metrics.
More widely, the evolution of ESG has helped precipitate this legislation. The European Commission has argued that NFRD was no longer sufficient in terms of the needs and language in which many organisations were now speaking. In a recent survey from Workiva, 98% of finance professionals in Europe said they were concerned about ESG metrics being added to their annual reports, with headaches coming about from more work within the same timeframes.
"We have learned a great deal about defining and measuring activities that impact social and environmental factors since the original drafting of the NFRD back in 2014," a blog from Greenomy explains. For comparison, the Paris Agreement was in 2016. Which regulations should be complied with and how do they relate? Is the information measured correctly and effectively? In short, as ESG has become increasingly tied to financial metrics and performance, 'corporate sustainability' is in – and 'non-financial' is out.
What standards will the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) use?
The CSRD will use the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), which were released in final form on July 31, 2023. The ESRS were developed by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG), they are a set of common standards that the EFRAG say will "reduce reporting costs in the medium and long term, by avoiding the use of multiple voluntary standards as this is the case today."
The key features of the ESRS include a double materiality component, reporting across a broad range of topics, and reporting on impacts, risks, and opportunities across the value chain. The ESRS are final, but they are subject to a two-month scrutiny period by the European Parliament and EU member states, who can only reject but not amend them.
Who will be impacted and when?
Compared with the current rules, there will be a near fivefold increase in companies affected – from approximately 11,700 to 50,000. This is how the CSRD breaks down in terms of who will comply and when:
If your organisation is already subject to NFRD, the CSRD regulation will apply from January 1 2024, with reports due the following year. This applies to European 'large public interest entities' with more than 500 employees, such as credit institutions, insurers, and organisations with EU regulated market listed securities
If you are a large organisation which is not already subject to NFRD, the CSRD regulation will apply from January 1 2025, with reports due the following year. This also applies to companies usually with more than 500 employees, or turnover exceeding €40 million (£34.4m), or a balance sheet total exceeding €20m
If you are a smaller organisation listed on an EU-regulated market which is not already subject to NFRD, the CSRD regulation will apply from January 1 2026, with reports due the following year
"To ensure companies are providing reliable information, they will be subject to independent auditing and certification," as the European Parliament explains. "Financial and sustainability reporting will be on an equal footing and investors will have comparable and reliable data. Digital access to sustainability information will also have to be guaranteed."
What potential problems are there with CSRD?
Not everyone is happy with the legislation as proposed, with concerns from small business stakeholders. Luc Hendrickx, enterprise policy director at European association SMEunited, has said that there is a potential disparity between SMEs and large enterprises with the former struggling against the timeframes of the latter.
SME organisations, said Hendrickx, would 'need sufficient time to raise awareness amongst their members on the new obligations, organise information sessions, train entrepreneurs and personnel, and develop tools.' Hendrickx added that 'some big companies [were] already cancelling their contracts with SMEs as they are not able to report.'
In terms of reporting, use cases will need to be ironed out along the way, as can be expected with any emerging legislation. As Tomas van der Heijden, co-founder and CEO of German startup Briink explained in a recent feature, many organisations will not so much find trouble in having the data, but collecting, organising and structuring it, and tying it back to the regulations. Sustainability data is 'basically a large mess of unstructured documents.'
What do organisations need to do now?
To prepare, institutions should look to legal or professional services organisations who can assist. Getting the ball rolling with ESG reporting efforts – if not started already – will be beneficial. Deloitte, for example, has an ESG corporate reporting accelerator programme, while Marsh has a detailed ESG rating tool.
Existing reporting frameworks, such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and CDP, are already aligned with the CSRD and its ESRS standards. The GRI has stated that "most larger companies, in the EU and elsewhere, already report with GRI and will be reassured that their current GRI-based reporting practices should best prepare them for the ESRS. The topics and requirements in the ESRS will be expanded over time; using the GRI Standards means companies can be ready to comply with future requirements."
Notice on the Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Foreign Interference in or Undermining Public Confidence in United States Elections
On September 12, 2018, by Executive Order 13848, the President declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 etseq.) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the threat of foreign interference in or undermining public confidence in United States elections.
Although there has been no evidence of a foreign power altering the outcomes or vote tabulation in any United States election, foreign powers have historically sought to exploit America's free and open political system. In recent years, the proliferation of digital devices and internet-based communications has created significant vulnerabilities and magnified the scope and intensity of the threat of foreign interference. The ability of persons located, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States to interfere in or undermine public confidence in United States elections, including through the unauthorized accessing of election and campaign infrastructure or the covert distribution of propaganda and disinformation, continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. For this reason, the national emergency declared on September 12, 2018, must continue in effect beyond September 12, 2024. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13848 with respect to the threat of foreign interference in or undermining public confidence in United States elections.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

The REAL Benefits Of Shungite Backed By Science! [3 Case Studies]
Regina Cal is a professional prospector, rockhounder, and wilderness survivalist in the Arizona Mountains.
Shungite Stone is as unique as it is mysterious. Its origins are unknown and its physical properties are mystifying.
Although Shungite is plentiful, there is a single finite source that is eventually being depleted.
I stumbled upon Shungite while searching for different ways to purify water without chemicals. I was astonished to read that this stone can completely purify water! I also read that it can block electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs), and it also has powerful healing properties - Hmmm.
These are bold claims, I thought. Can a stone really have all of these capabilities?
I started to research and I found a few websites that spoke about these claims, but none had any evidence to really back it up.
I decided to dig deeper, and through much time researching, I managed to find scholarly articles and patents offering compelling evidence that the claims of Shungite are proven!
The evidence that I have found is so strong, I just had to write an article about it to help educate others about the reality of Shungite.
In this article, I discuss the origins and chemistry of Shungite, scientific findings of Shungite's properties, the benefits of Shungite, any known side effects, a buyers guide to Shungite, and the future of this amazing miracle stone!
Part One: Information About Shungite
What Is Shungite?
Shungite is an anomalous stone of organic origin that is comprised of carbon.
Pure Shungite looks similar to pyrite, but with a silver tone instead of gold.
Shungite has the look and feel of pyrite.
The stone in its purest form is quite brittle and can chip easily. It would not be suitable for faceting.
Shungite stone gets its powerful properties from an unusual carbon structure known as a fullerene. I will go into detail about fullerenes later in this article.
The Origins of Shungite Stone
Shungite was discovered near the small village of Shunga, which is how the stone got its name. Shunga is located in the Republic of Karelia, a part of the Russian Federation.
Although there are traces of Shungite found in a few other locales throughout Russia, the Zazhoginsky deposit is the only place where Shungite exists in vast reserves.
This vast deposit of Shungite weighs in at a whopping 35 million tons and is being mined out at a rate of 200 thousand tons per year.
Cave paintings in Russia by Lake Onega
Several hundreds of years ago, Lake Onega had become renowned through the local villages for its extremely pure water that had the ability to heal. Kings and queens would come and go throughout history, opening and abandoning thermal spas through the centuries.
Shungite has been forgotten and discovered for many cycles throughout history.
The most recent re-discovery was in the 1930s as the water from Lake Onega was tested for medical uses. The lake had a resurgence in popularity in the 70s as a thermal spa had opened once again.
Still, Shungite has only become popular in internet searches over the past couple of years.
The geology of Shungite stone
Shungite formed at the ripe old age of 2 billion years. There are many hypotheses about how Shungite was made.
The most adopted theory is that Shungite was created by the sedimenting of rich organic materials of primitive life forms into mud and silt.
These organic sediments accumulated into the Karelian craton that was rich in brackish water.
The organic material compressed with the mineral-rich brackish water into the craton and got heated up from the geothermal activity from below. This transformed the material through petrification and into what we know as Shungite. This process was also responsible for the creation of the molecular structure known as fullerenes.
An intriguing yet less popular hypothesis is that Shungite was formed from a meteor crashing into the earth. What is interesting about this idea is that there is evidence that a meteor did crash in close vicinity to the lake just a little earlier than Shungite was formed.
An even less popular opinion is that Shungite was made by lightning strikes. The reasoning for this idea is that lightning strikes actually create fullerenes, but since the amount made by lightning is so minuscule, this hypothesis is mostly discredited. It is an interesting notion nonetheless.
The different types of Shungite stone
There are three types of Shungite that all have a different appearance. The reason for the difference is the quantity of carbon the stones possess.
Type I Shungite - Elite Silver Shungite
This is the purest form of Shungite at a concentration of 98%.
The stone has a silvery semi-metallic sheen to it and can flake fairly easily.
Only one percent of Shungite in existence is Elite Shungite.
Composition of Elite Shungite
98% Carbon
0.9% Nitrogen and Oxygen
0.3% Hydrogen
0.8% Ash Content
Type II Shungite - Black Shungite
This type of Shungite is made up of 50-70% carbon.
This stone is a matte black mineral. It can be shaped and polished easily and is used to make EMF blocking discs and countertop pyramids.
Composition of Black Shungite
50-70% Carbon
3.5% Nitrogen and Oxygen
6.7% Hydrogen
3.3% Ash Content
Type III Shungite - Gray Shungite
This type of Shungite is made up of 30-50% carbon.
This stone is a matte gray mineral. You will not run into gray shungite on the retail market, it is used for industrial applications.
Composition of Gray Shungite
30-50% Carbon
3.5% Nitrogen and Oxygen
6.7% Hydrogen
3.3% Ash Content
56% Silicon Dioxide
8% various oxides and dioxides
How to Tell if Shungite is Real
Although fake Shungite is not a common problem, there have been reports of fake Shungite on the market. If people can make money at it, there will always be counterfeits! Luckily, there are very easy ways to circumvent this problem.
First, always buy from a reputable seller. I suggest purchasing solely from Karelian Heritage. I personally have purchased all my Shungite either directly from their online shop or from their official Amazon shop.
Second, you can conduct an extremely easy test to ensure your Shungite is real!
Shungite Authenticity Test
Shungite is naturally conductive. Therefore, we can perform a simple test to prove if Shungite is real.
You will need:
Light Bulb
Battery
Two wires (preferably copper)
Shungite
Place one wire on the positive side of the battery and one on the negative side of the battery. Place wires onto the bulb. The bulb will light. Now place the Shungite in between bulb and one wire. The bulb will still light if the Shungite is real. Easy!
Are there side effects of shungite stone?
Technically, there are no known side effects, but people may experience some energy disturbances from the stone. These could possibly be:
Insomnia
Too much energy
Increased pulse
Increased blood pressure
These side effects are directly related to the enormous amount of energy that Shungite can deliver to you. Remember how we talked about the expansion of the vital field?
This may be a very new and energetic sensation, and because of that, you may want to rotate wearing your stone until you get used to the extra energy.
Part Two: The Benefits Of Shungite
As you can see, Shungite stone has some seriously unique properties that other carbon materials do not possess.
Because of these unique attributes, Shungite offers up some powerful capabilities that almost seem magical but are actually backed with scientific evidence - evidence that I will provide below in each section.
Shungite stones for water purification
The International Journal of Advanced Scientific and Technical Research released a compelling research paper on the influence of Shungite on water. The research was conducted by the Scientific Research Center of Medical Biophysics located in Bulgaria and the Biotechnology department of Moscow State University of Applied Biotechnology located in Moscow.
This is what they have found.
Due to its unique porous structure, Shungite adsorbs 95% of contaminants when coming into contact with its surface.
The types of contaminants that Shungite removes through adsorption are:
organochlorine compounds
phenols
dioxins
heavy metals
radionuclides
The types of contaminants that Shungite removes through absorption are:
oil
benzene
phenol
pesticides
chlorine
ammonia
heavy metals
Shungite has the ability to oxidize organic substances that are absorbed on the surface. Although this process is not entirely understood by scientists, Shungite is proven to be a powerful antioxidant and removes free radicals 30 times more effectively than activated carbon!!!
Free radicals formed during the treatment of water with chlorine and other chemicals have a negative impact on human health.
This table shows the performance of radical removal in water treated by Shungite:
Shungite has Antibacterial Properties
Shungite has strong bactericidal properties that efficiently disinfect drinking water from harmful bacteria.
It has been observed in this same study that Shungite eliminates pathogenic saprophytes and protozoa. Shungite performs a near complete removal of e.Coli from 2300/Liter of cells down to 3/Liter of cells.
Shungite does work best in conjunction with Zeolite and activated carbon.
Shungite And The Benefits It Brings To Water
So what exactly are the benefits of drinking Shungite water? After all, we have fancy filtration systems and chemical products that cleanse our water of viruses and bacteria. Why even bother with the extra step of making Shungite water?
As we learned, Shungites contain fullerenes which trap harmful chemicals and compounds within its hollow center. In return, Shungite deposits positive elements such as oxygen, magnesium, and calcium.
Fullerenes also have a powerful antioxidant effect which cleanses the body of carcinogens.
Because of the detoxifying effect of Shungite water, you can use it to boost your metabolism which can help you lose weight.
Water from Lake Onega has been used for thousands of years throughout mankind's history as a powerful detoxifying element. You can use this water for washing your face, making tinctures, using in teas and various drinks.
You can also add some Shungite to keep your aquariums clean and even use in ponds.
How To Make Shungite Water
You will need:
A pitcher (preferably glass)
8 cups of water
8 ounces of Elite Shungite Chips
Step 1: Rinse Shungite chips thoroughly
Step 2: Place Shungite chips into pitcher
Step 3: Fill pitcher with water
Step 4: Let sit for 24 to 72 hours (Do NOT place lid on pitcher, the water needs oxygen to work)
Step 5: Enjoy your cleansed Shungite drinking water!
You can buy these elite Shungite chips on Amazon here.
How to Clean Shungite Stones
Shungite chips need to be maintained once a month for maximum performance. They also need to be replaced periodically, about every six months to one year, or as needed.
Mix 4 cups water with one tablespoon lemon juice.
Place Shungite chips in water.
Let sit for 8 hours.
Pat chips dry on a towel.
Place Shungite chips in sun for three hours, flipping over halfway through.
The reason Shungite has such powerful properties is because of the carbon complex known as a fullerene.
What is a Fullerene? The fullerene is a fairly recent discovery. It is a form of carbon that links together 60 carbon atoms into the shape of a soccer ball. The fullerene got its name from the scientist Richard Buckminster Fuller. He actually built a life-size replica of a fullerene without even realizing it!
This is Fuller with his geodesic dome that is shaped exactly like a naturally occuring fullerene!
What is highly interesting is that a fullerene molecule is completely hollow. This hollow nature allows for all sorts of toxin and radio wave absorption.
Fullerenes have been used in nanotechnology to create nanotubes. These carbon molecules have been replicated in laboratories to create synthetic fullerenes.
However, these man made fullerenes cannot be remotely compared to natural fullerenes as natural fullerenes are filled with unique gases, liquids, and minerals inside its hollow dome.
Fullerenes have extremely potent properties on electromagnetic fields, absorption of toxins, and on human health.
Shungite EMF Protection
Some people believe that Shungite blocks EMFs through metaphysical energies, but there is scientific evidence that Shungite has unique electrical properties due to its naturally conductive nature from the fullerenes.
I have read several articles about Shungite being touted as an EMF blocker, but no one seems to provide any scientific sources that Shungite can indeed block these frequencies.
I have taken the time and scoured scholarly articles and patents to find actual scientific evidence that Shungite has unbelievable electromagnetic absorbing powers and am sharing them with you today.
Let's dive into the research that supports the theory that Shungite can actually block electromagnetic frequencies!
Does Shungite Really Block Electromagnetic Frequencies?
I could not find the answer to this by merely skimming the net. Sure, there are videos showing Shungite blocking EMF from microwaves, modems, etc. But someone always finds a way to debunk these videos.
I needed to know more, and the only way to find out was to delve into scientific papers and patents.
I found three case studies that really convinced me Shungite does block EMF.
The first case study is patent #US5640705A. This patent has been filed for utilizing fullerene carbon molecules to contain radiation from nuclear waste.
This nuclear waste containment system is comprised of fullerene carbon layers that prevent nuclear radiation from leaking out of the containment vessel.
nuclear containment vessel
Although there is a ton of information in this patent, if you look up the "Detailed Description" section, you will find this:
"C60 is the only single-layer Fullerene molecule that will completely contain high energy ionizing radiation. Under specific temperature and pressure conditions, C60 can completely absorb the five main types of harmful, high energy, ionizing radiation; namely, alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray, and neutron radiation."
The natural state of a fullerene present in Shungite is the 60 molecule structure. As stated in the quote, this type of fullerene carbon is capable of absorbing the five main types of harmful radiation.
This is because the natural fullerene works as an absolute vacuum as it is hollow on the inside. This vacuum filters out impurities in water along with absorbing electromagnetic frequencies and radio waves. My second case study is a scholarly article released by Scientific Reports #5619 (2014).
In this experiment, carbon nanotubes were utilized to create a Radar Absorbing Material (RAM) to block radar stealth technology.
The study has shown that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance due to its unique structure and extreme electrical conductivity.
Carbon nanotubes are created by fullerenes, which as we know are naturally present in Shungite.
We can then deduce that since carbon nanotubes are extremely efficient at blocking radar waves, the natural form of the fullerene has the power to absorb these waves as well. My third case study is another patent JP2003243878A from Japan. The invention in this patent is the development of a coating on a circuit board that blocks electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The invention uses a layer of Shungite (referred to as Shun Gaito) along with other layers of carbon to absorb EMI.
The patent claims that out of all the carbon materials used, the Shungite offers the best performance to eliminating the most EMI.
I have also found a couple of videos that show Shungite blocking EMFs in action:
If you feel you need more evidence, I suggest looking up "Shungite radiation absorption" in Google Scholar and Google Patents. It will give you several more case studies pertaining to this topic.
What Do I Personally Believe About Shungite Blocking EMF?
Wow, the case studies are really compelling and I suggest you give them a read for yourself. Personally, the scientific evidence does support that Shungite can block radiation, frequencies from radar, and electromagnetic interference. It is being used in devices and products all over the world, even the military has utilized Shungite in their equipment.
I feel comfortable saying that yes, Shungite does, in fact, protect you from EMF.
Now, lets say Shungite does not protect you from EMF. What do you really have to lose here?
First off, the stone is beautiful. You can purchase Shungite in spheres, pyramids, cubes, and in all kinds of different sizes. The jewelry looks great as well.
Secondly, Shungite is really not all that expensive in comparison to other natural materials. Its much less than crystals by weight and size.
Worst case, you buy some Shungite, and you look great wearing it or you jazz up your home with some interesting conversation starters. Best case, Shungite does wonders and improves your quality of life.
I will say that in my own personal experience, wearing Shungite simply makes me feel better, more balanced, and have more energy.
Part Four: Shungite Metaphysical Properties
The Healing Properties Of Shungite
As we all know, human beings are powered by electricity. Our neurons in our brains function by receiving electrical signals from cells. Our hearts beat from an electrical charge emitted by cells that cause a contraction.
A lesser known metascience, known as bioenergetics, explores human energy fields and the relation our energy has with the world around us.
Our bodies release an energetic field, known as the vital field, that interacts with our environment and ripples away from us like waves.
Bioenergetics
Life is an energy intensive process
It takes energy to move a muscle, breath, heal wounds, even to think
We emit an energetic field around us that interacts and is influenced by our environment
A person's vital field can vary greatly depending on the health of the person, the level of consciousness, and also influences from the environment.
We can also have a direct effect on our vital field by the food and drink we consume, where we hang out and who we hang out with.
Our vital field strives to stay in a state of homeostasis, a state of balance. However, it wouldn't surprise me that most (if not all) human beings that live in modern day society across the world are in a state of bioenergetic imbalance due to modern lifestyle choices and the bombardment of electromagnetic frequencies.
This is where Shungite comes into play.
Shungite and the Vital Field
Measurements of a person's vital field can be measured, and a study done on Shungite in relation to bioenergetic research has been performed. This study, done by Regina Martino (a bioenergetic researcher) has found that Shungite can actually increase our extending bioenergy field.
So what do these results mean?
Health Benefits of Shungite Stone:
1. It balances our bioenergetic field. A balanced energy field can remedy dysfunctions in the body, such as persistent and recurring illness, tiredness, depression, dullness, and any type of issues that can occur from energy imbalances.
2. It gives us protection from negative energies. As our vital fields become balanced and centered, a natural positive energy is restored in the body. Shungite can also absorb negative energies, much like it can absorb impurities in water and radiation.
3. It blocks us from EMFs. As we went over above, Shungite is scientifically known to block electromagnetic disturbances. As we are bombarded from every corner with radio waves, our vital energies become imbalanced and shrink. Shungite works to restore our energy field and protect us from these invasive waves.
4. Shungite does not take on a negative charge. The natural structure of the fullerenes in Shungite creates a vacuum that does not allow for taking on any negativity from frequencies, vibrations, and human emotions. The state of Shungite will always stay intact, no matter what it encounters.
If you have feelings of general malfeasance, have unexplained exhaustion, emotional or mental issues, lethargy, feelings of uneasiness, and anything to do with a potential energy imbalance in the body, Shungite can assist in restoring your well being.
I included this guide because it is highly important to purchase your Shungite from a reputable seller. Shungite comes from only one mine on earth, and there are fakes out there. I have included some links to products you may be interested that are the real deal.
