Even though the airwaves have long been agog with the voices of the Israeli government, the US and other so-called leaders of the free world about the war on Gaza, the leaders of Hamas and the rest of the Islamic resistance, dubbed “terrorists” in a preemptive Israeli-US propaganda campaign designed to legitimize their extraction by firepower, have managed to get their voices heard.

They’ve done so through a brilliant media campaign that has made a folk hero out of Abu ‘Obaidah, the spokesperson for Martyr Al Qassam’s Islamic Brigades, and put to shame Israel’s undeniably degenerate tactics of killing and maiming thousands of Palestinian civilians, including children, displaced families sheltering in UNRWA schools, the wounded and sick in hospitals and news reporters and flattening large swatches of the Gaza Strip.

And just as Netanyahu is resolved to continue the war on Gaza after the announced truce between Hamas and Israel, the Palestinian resistance is resolved to continue its heroic and already legendary fight against Israel.

This war, as well as being a national war of liberation on the Palestinian side and a settler-colonial war aided by Western powers on the Israeli side, is a religious war on both sides. The optics, as commentators love to use the term in analyzing the tragedy, are telling. It is religious Jews in the Israeli cabinet, wearing their kippot and holding up the Star of David that they have managed to turn into something akin to a swastika who have voted against the truce and who are most virulent in their call for ethnic cleansing and genocide.

On Al Jazeera Arabic and Al Mayadeen, Palestinians standing in the rubble over the dead bodies of their children invoke God to deal a blow for justice against Jews. Islamic resistance fighters call out loudly “God is great; praise be to God” with each hit on enemy tanks or soldiers. Hezbollah in southern Lebanon celebrate their martyrs as having fallen “on the road to Jerusalem,” where the desecrated Al Aqsa Mosque lies. “Al Aqsa Flood” is not named so for nothing. In Yemen, a spokesperson explained to Al Mayadeen that Houthi forces feared God’s displeasure if they did not come to the aid of Palestine. Moreover, this cause has unified Shia and Sunni Muslims.

When Blinken first arrived in Israel after Oct 7, he embraced Netanyahu by saying,

“I am here as a Jew, not just as US State Secretary.”

Jordan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Al Safadi, on the other hand, did not say in any of his statements,

“I am speaking here, not just as a Jordanian, but also as a Palestinian.”

I assume Safadi is of Palestinian origin because of his name. “Al Safadi” in Arabic means “from Safad.” Incidentally, Mahmoud Abbas is also from Safad: he was born there. Safad in the Galilee was predominantly Palestinian Arab before 1948. It was emptied from its Palestinian citizens by the Haganah Jewish force (the perpetrator of many massacres during the Nakba) when, according to the language of the Israeli narrative flooding Google, “the Arab population fled,” leaving Safad to its “rightful” owners, the Kabbalists of the mystical branch of Judaism.

More than half of the 6.3 million population of Jordan is of Palestinian origin, the vast majority, except for Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, have Jordanian citizenship. Jordan’s refugee camps are full of Palestinians holding on to the keys of their homes and their right of return to occupied Palestine. Ayman Al Safadi, speaking for the Jordanian government and for King Abdullah, is certainly not about to increase their ranks.

As so many Jewish-American officials have done before him, Blinken flaunts his Jewish supremacist privilege. He and his American family can “return” to Israel any time they please. Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, as well as all those in al-shatat, the diaspora, cannot.

What is to happen next? The best way to predict the future is to create it. Israel’s bombing of Gaza is to resume as soon as the truce is over. And so will the Palestinian resistance everywhere and in every form.

When the resistance is the entire body (as represented by Muslim, Christian and every free person of any persuasion holding up the Palestinian flag), you can’t have a “surgical operation,” as the US is now urging Israel to do as opposed to mayhem, without killing the patient.

“Even if you kill all the children, One Moses will survive” (Source: Rima Najjar)

Charlotte Kates, the international coordinator of Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, recently expressed this determination by the resistance by saying: “We refuse to be silenced, we continue to organize, we continue to take to the streets; we refuse to be silenced by political power, by state repression or by corporate complicity, and we stand for the liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea.”

Biden, Blinken and Israel’s war criminals with their “Hannibal Procedure” will discover there isn’t enough anesthesia in the world to put down this body of resistance and perform their “surgical operation.” Let’s hope that the human-interest stories that will now flood the airwaves about the return of Israeli hostages to their families will also highlight the devastation that the Israeli colonial military judiciary and prison system have, for decades, imposed on Palestinian families.

Roni Sarig, a reader of my previous blog post titled, “Israel is a Rogue State,” made the following absurd comment there: “It is your right to have ‘righteous anger.’ But I would hope that you’ve also considered what end your righteous anger serves? Those of us who are pro-Israel but anti-Netanyahu and pro-Palestine but anti-Hamas could be allies with you. But too much righteous anger will get in the way of actually solving the issue — and probably will just lead to more suffering. We can be allies, but not if you’re advocating for the removal/killing of my people.”

“Palestinian and righteously angry” is the tagline of my blog on Medium. Sarig, apparently, wants me to modulate my outrage at what his government is doing to Palestinians and at the monumental suffering the creation of the Jewish entity on Palestinian territory in 1948 by violence and terror continues to engender — all in the guise of forging an alliance on his terms and in accordance with his own feelings. He presents himself as reasonable, and me as someone advocating the removal/killing of “his people,” disregarding the context of war I am discussing, and understanding decolonization to mean “killing Jews.” That Palestinian freedom means genocide for Jews is a ridiculous argument. I think it is also antisemitic, because it implies that Jews can only exist at the cost of others’ lives. As Lena Bloch says in a comment on this post, “This assumption is the basis for Jewish fascism. Kahane built his ideology on that and this is what ‘Never again’ that he introduced means: ‘If we kill and abuse, THEY will never dare to kill and abuse US.’”

In the name of “moderation,” Sarig pushes a false Israeli narrative we have heard ad infinitum over the years. As a friend said to me, “Sincere allies know not to center a struggle in their own ‘feelings.’”

No doubt, Sarig, like his government, would also wish to modulate my joy at the release of Palestinian prisoners. Netanyahu’s government has already issued a warning to Palestinians in the West Bank and Jerusalem not to exhibit any signs of joy at their release.

Israel Admits It Killed Its Own at Nova Music Festival

An Israeli police investigation into the Hamas attack on the Nova music festival near the Gaza border on 7 October revealed that an Israeli attack helicopter killed some of the attendees, Haaretz reported on 18 November.

According to a police source, an investigation into the incident showed that an Israeli combat helicopter that arrived at the scene from the Ramat David base fired at Hamas fighters and other Palestinians who crossed through the border fence from Gaza into Israel, but also fired on some of the Israelis attending the music festival. According to the police, 364 people were killed there.

The Israeli military and rescue services previously claimed that 260 Israelis were killed at the festival, all by Hamas and Palestinians in a deliberate massacre. But this is the first acknowledgement that Israeli forces killed some of their own.

Previous reports in Israeli media revealed that Israeli forces killed Israeli civilians in Be’eri, a settlement also near the Gaza border. In that case, Hamas fighters were holding Israelis captive in homes. When the Israeli military arrived, it opened fire, including by firing tank shells, killing both Israeli captives and Hamas fighters.

Three of those killed in Be’eri by Israeli tank fire were 12-year-old Liel Hezroni, her brother Yanai, and their aunt Ayla. Israeli broadcaster Kan reported that Liel’s relatives held a farewell ceremony for her, rather than a burial ceremony, because her body could not be recovered from the house that collapsed on her and other Hamas captives after an Israeli tank fired two shells into it.

הסיפור של ליאל חצרוני ז"ל ואירוע בני הערובה בבארי:
מאיפה מתחילים את הסיפור המורכב הזה? אפשר להתחיל אותו בסוף: בשעה זו נערך טקס פרידה לליאל חצרוני, שנרצחה בבארי ב7 באוקטובר. זו לא קבורה כי אין גופה. המשפחה החליטה על הטקס, כי עד עכשיו לא הודיע אף גורם רשמי למשפחה מה קרה לה לליאל > pic.twitter.com/7GLEUpPXjH

A similar instance occurred in Sderot, where Hamas fighters had taken over the local police station, and were holding Israeli police captive inside. Both the Hamas fighters and Israeli police were killed when the Israeli army fired tank shells at the police station, killing everyone. Israeli forces then bulldozed the station.

It is therefore unclear how many of the Israelis who died on 7 October were killed by Hamas, whose fighters were seeking to take as many Israelis, both soldiers and civilians, captive back to Gaza as possible, and how many were killed by Israeli forces refusing to negotiate for the captives’ release.

Israel initially claimed Hamas and Palestinians killed 1,400 Israelis on 7 October, including soldiers, police, and civilians, but later revised the count to 1,200. Israeli spokesperson Mark Regev acknowledged that 200 of the alleged victims were Hamas fighters or Palestinians whose bodies were burned so badly that Israeli authorities could not initially identify them and assumed them to be Israelis.

In an interview with MSNBC on 17 November, he stated,

“We originally said, in the atrocious Hamas attack upon our people on October 7th, we had the number at 1,400 casualties and now we’ve revised that down to 1,200 because we understood that we’d overestimated, we made a mistake. There were actually bodies that were so badly burnt we thought they were ours, in the end apparently they were Hamas terrorists.”

Regarding the Nova festival, Haaretz reported as well that,

“There is a growing assessment in the security establishment that the terrorists who carried out the massacre on October 7 did not know in advance about the Nova festival held near Kibbutz Re’im, and decided to come to the place after discovering that a mass event was taking place there.”

The Hamas fighters had initially intended to attack nearby settlements in what is known as the Gaza envelope.

According to Haaretz, senior security officials estimate that Hamas found out about the existence of the party using drones, and directed its fighters to the location using their communication system. In a video from a body camera of one Hamas fighter, “he is heard asking a captured Israeli for directions to reach the bad guys, even though he was in a different area.” One of the findings that strengthens the assessment, according to the police and other security officials, is that the first Hamas fighters arrived at the Nova festival from the direction of road 232 and not from the direction of the Gaza border fence.

Is the US’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System Broken?

Three weeks after receiving a second dose of a covid vaccine, Robert Sullivan collapsed at home on his treadmill. An anaesthesiologist in Maryland, USA, he was a particularly fit 49 year old: the week before falling ill, he’d been happily skiing at altitude in Colorado.

Sullivan was given a diagnosis of sudden onset pulmonary hypertension, which is generally progressive, can be fatal, and in most cases can’t be cured. The condition is rare, especially in middle aged men. Sullivan decided to file a report in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which collects reports of symptoms, diagnoses, hospital admissions, and deaths after vaccination for the purpose of capturing post-market safety signals.

But the submission process was a glitchy race against the clock. “The format is cumbersome and it times you out,” he tells The BMJ. For his troubles, Sullivan received a confirmation by email and a temporary “e-report” number. He learnt from his doctor’s office that a VAERS representative had requested medical records. Then he didn’t hear back for a year.

VAERS is supposed to be user friendly, responsive, and transparent. However, investigations by The BMJ have uncovered that it’s not meeting its own standards. Not only have staffing levels failed to keep pace with the unprecedented number of reports since the rollout of covid vaccines but there are signs that the system is overwhelmed, reports aren’t being followed up, and signals are being missed.

The BMJ has spoken to more than a dozen people, including physicians and a state medical examiner, who have filed VAERS reports of a serious nature on behalf of themselves or patients and were never contacted by clinical reviewers or were contacted months later.

Our investigation has also found that, in stark contrast to the US government’s handling of adverse reaction reports on drugs and devices, the publicly accessible VAERS database on vaccines includes only initial reports, while case updates and corrections are kept on a separate, back end system. Officials told The BMJ that this was to protect patient confidentiality—but this means that patients, doctors, and other public users of the database have access only to an incomplete and uncorrected version.

Understaffed

Co-managed by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration, the VAERS reporting system relies on a mixture of voluntary adverse event reports from doctors and patients and mandatory reporting from vaccine manufacturers, which are required by law to report all adverse events they become aware of.

Good pharmacovigilance requires prompt data collection, review by people with clinical expertise, and adequate follow-up, says Marie Lindquist, former director of the Uppsala Monitoring Centre in Sweden, an internationally recognised non-profit pharmacovigilance body. “We know that even the best clinical trials won’t detect [rare adverse events],” she tells The BMJ.

VAERS’s standard operating procedure for covid-19 states that reports must be processed quickly, within days of receipt.[1,2] “Serious reports” trigger the requisition of medical records and at minimum a “manual review,” while deaths and other “adverse events of special interest” may undergo a more “in-depth” clinical review by CDC staff.

However, The BMJ has learnt that in the face of an unprecedented 1.7 million reports since the rollout of covid vaccines, VAERS’s staffing was likely not commensurate with the demands of reviewing the serious reports submitted, including reports of death. While other countries have acknowledged deaths that were “likely” or “probably” related to mRNA vaccination, the CDC—which says that it has reviewed nearly 20 000 preliminary reports of death using VAERS (far more than other countries)—has not acknowledged a single death linked to mRNA vaccines.

Before the pandemic VAERS was receiving nearly 60 000 adverse event reports each year. A 2015 CDC article suggests that the agency had the capacity to request records for just a few thousand serious reports each year.[3] But in 2021 the total number of reports shot up to a million, and another 660 000 have been filed since. Nearly one in five meet the criteria of serious. This surge reflects the unprecedented campaign to vaccinate against covid-19—in the US alone some 675 million doses have been administered—and the vast majority of recent reports are related to covid vaccines. The CDC states that, “in the event of a significant increase” in VAERS reports warranting clinical review, the standard operating procedure requires additional CDC Immunization Safety Office staff to process cases.[1,2]

Freedom of Information Act documents seen by The BMJ suggest that Pfizer has around 1000 more full time employees working on vaccine surveillance than the CDC, despite the latter’s responsibility for handling adverse event reports on all products. The CDC didn’t provide The BMJ with specific numbers, instead stating that its staffing “reflects the needs of the office” at any given time and can range from “several dozen to hundreds,” including contractors and individuals reassigned “from across the agency.” The latest confirmed number of staff, as of November 2022—at the Immunization Safety Office, which houses VAERS—is 70-80 full time equivalent workers.

In comparison, a February 2021 Pfizer analysis of adverse event reports showed that the company had onboarded 600 additional full time employees to handle the volume and planned to employ a total of 1800.[4] Pfizer didn’t respond to The BMJ’s requests for information on current staffing.

The User Experience

Interviews with more than a dozen VAERS users by The BMJ—all of whom were trying to file reports of a serious nature—revealed a patchy and frustrating experience. Some users heard back from clinical reviewers months after making their first report, while others never heard anything. Some of those making reports were told conflicting information about updating their report or were discouraged from making a report altogether.

Those people include Patrick Whelan, a rheumatologist and researcher at the University of California Los Angeles, who in 2022 reported how one of his patients, a 7 year old boy, had a cardiac arrest after covid vaccination. The patient was intubated when Whelan filed a VAERS report, and he expected a prompt follow-up call from a CDC investigator.

“I assumed that, since it was a catastrophic event, the safety committee would want to hear about it right away,” he says. But, to his knowledge, nobody called or requested medical records. In an email sent to Whelan months later the FDA said that it had followed up “soon after” receiving his report and had made “several requests” for medical records. The agency added, “Generally speaking, staff might not reach out to providers unless they have specific questions about a case or a VAERS report.”

James Gill has been a medical examiner and forensic pathologist for 25 years and is currently chief medical examiner for the state of Connecticut. In June 2021 he made the first VAERS report of his career. It was for a 15 year old boy who died suddenly days after getting a second jab—what Gill concluded on autopsy was “stress cardiomyopathy following second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech covid-19 vaccine.”[5,6,7]

Gill, who has appointments at Yale University and the University of Connecticut, can’t recall getting any calls from VAERS after he filled out the online form, and he still has only a temporary “e-report” number. After he published the case reports in the Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine in February 2022, however, the CDC did respond—in the form of a letter to the editor contesting Gill’s findings.[5,6,7]

In November 2022, React19, an advocacy group of some 30 000 people who have experienced prolonged illness after covid vaccination, reviewed 126 VAERS reports among its ranks. In its audit, which was conducted by volunteers inside and outside the organisation, 22% had never been given a permanent VAERS ID number and 12% had disappeared from the system entirely—in other words, one in three of the reports they looked for didn’t show up in the publicly searchable database.[8]

Searching for Answers

A group of physicians and advocates have met multiple times with FDA representatives from 2021 to 2022, including Peter Marks, director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, and Narayan Nair, the FDA division director who oversees VAERS, to express their concerns that the system isn’t operating as intended and that signals are being missed.

One participant in the group—Helen, an intensive care and emergency physician who asked to use a pseudonym to protect her employment—had filed reports on behalf of several patients, including six who died, among them a 40 year old man. She tells The BMJ that she received a request for medical records for just one of the deaths and for two of her patients admitted to hospital. “You’re not meeting your defined definition of follow-up,” she told Nair and Marks during an online meeting on 22 March last year. “There’s a breakdown in your system.”

The BMJ obtained audio of these meetings, totalling seven. In March 2022, in response to the physician, Nair responded that if a report meets the definition of serious, “there really should be a request for records.” In the case of a reported death, “we prioritise getting the records for those extremely quickly.” He added, “You know, we’ve received a large volume [of serious reports]. And I don’t know what the back-up is.”

At the following meeting in May 2022 an FDA spokesperson, Lorrie McNeill, said that “for all of the reports categorised as serious, the VAERS contractor either obtained records, or made several attempts to do so and closed out a report if they didn’t get a response.”

In response to several questions about these meetings and the issues they raised, the FDA responded by email that the agency “is actively engaged in safety surveillance of these vaccines to identify and address potential safety concerns” and that “physicians and epidemiologists from the FDA and CDC continuously screen and analyse data from VAERS for covid-19 vaccines to identify potential signals that would indicate the need for further study.”

Two VAERS—Only One Public

A week after Whelan filed the VAERS report for his young patient in Los Angeles, he had cause to update it. The boy’s condition didn’t improve, and the decision was made to terminate life support. But “there was no mechanism for [updating] it,” he tells The BMJ. “The only option I had was to make a new VAERS report.”

Three weeks later he met with the FDA in his capacity as a researcher to discuss a forthcoming paper, and without having planned to he mentioned the case and the lack of follow-up. Nair reached out by email the next day, and six weeks later Whelan discussed the case with Nair and a press officer for around 35 minutes.

Today, however, that VAERS report still shows the child as having been admitted to hospital. “I made the false assumption that that conversation would result in an adjustment in the publicly reported case,” says Whelan. “Think of all the people who are using VAERS data as a means to assess what’s happening with the vaccines—except in this case you’d be left with the false impression that the child had had a serious adverse event,” rather than seeing that he’d died.

The BMJ has found that the FDA and CDC essentially maintain two separate VAERS databases: a public facing database, containing only initial reports; and a private, back end system containing all updates and corrections—such as a formal diagnosis, recovery, or death.

In December last year Nair explained the situation at a meeting with advocates. He said, “There’s two parts to VAERS, the front end system and the back end . . . Anything derived from medical records by law” can’t be posted on the public facing system. The CDC has told The BMJ that “protecting patient confidentiality is a priority.”

Interestingly, the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), which collects reports on drugs, does maintain a publicly accessible database that gets updated, as does the agency’s Medical Device Reporting system—raising the question of why VAERS can’t do the same. Neither the CDC nor the FDA provided an explanation. An FDA spokesperson told The BMJ that “patients can submit formal requests under FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] to obtain the full record of their report.”

For serious cases, reporters to VAERS are supposed to receive emails prompting them to provide updates. These emails include a code and upload link, but the reporters The BMJ spoke to didn’t get confirmation emails, and if they searched for their report in the database it remained unchanged. Similarly, if a reporter successfully treated a diagnosis and the patient improved, or if they confirmed that the cause of the illness was unrelated to a vaccine, this wouldn’t be reflected in the public database.

Nair acknowledged in a meeting with advocates that people get frustrated when they look for an updated report, find the original untouched, and feel “ignored.” He said, “They never see it on the front end, because we don’t alter that initial report.”

Detecting Signals

Pharmacovigilance has been effective in alerting the public to unusual, acute reactions, even when based on few reports. For example, it took just six VAERS reports of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome after administration of the Janssen covid vaccine for regulators to issue a “pause” in April 2021.[9]

Ralph Edwards, former director of the Uppsala Monitoring Centre and until recently editor in chief of the International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine, explains that monitoring systems such as VAERS excel at detecting adverse reactions that occur very soon after vaccination or are known from other vaccines, such as anaphylaxis or Guillain-Barré syndrome. But detecting new and unusual reactions, especially those with latent effects, has been an ongoing challenge in the world of pharmacovigilance.

Edwards tells The BMJ, “If something hasn’t been heard of before, it tends to be ignored.” He explains that regulators may be relying too heavily on epidemiological evidence to acknowledge a signal. VAERS alone is unlikely to capture such long term adverse outcomes unless reports are regularly updated and reviewers are closely following such cases—“a real catch 22,” he says. “You’ll never get the evidence unless you have the idea to look for it in the first place.”

Addressing an October 2021 meeting, Helen said that most doctors were “only willing to talk about the FDA recognised vaccine adverse events.” She asked the FDA to alert doctors to potential adverse neurological reactions, as had been done with myocarditis. But more than once the FDA’s Peter Marks expressed confusion about why it would matter to doctors whether or not regulators acknowledged that a condition might be related to the vaccine. “Aren’t they treating what’s in front of them?” he asked.

However, Svetlana Blitshteyn, a neurologist and researcher at the University at Buffalo, New York, who has been treating postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome for around 20 years and has seen the condition present after vaccination, tells The BMJ that if physicians aren’t educated to look for the condition they’re unlikely to test for it or know how to treat it.

Helen is calling for an end to the “negative feedback loop . . . the FDA is not naming additional adverse reactions to the vaccines because the passive surveillance systems aren’t displaying it. But the passive surveillance systems aren’t displaying it because physicians are blinded to the adverse reactions in their patients, and thus aren’t reporting them.”

The European Union, for its part, has added hypoaesthesia and paraesthesia (reduced or abnormal sensation in the skin such as numbness, tingling, or burning) to the labelling on mRNA covid vaccines—based on around 21 000 cases reported by August 2021—as well as including heavy menstrual bleeding.[10,11] Japan has also added paraesthesia and hypoaesthesia.

Harlan Krumholz, a cardiologist and researcher at Yale, has been recruiting members of React19 to study their reactions.[12] “We are working hard to understand the experience, clinical course, and potential mechanisms of the ailments reported by those who have had severe symptoms arise soon after the vaccination,” he tells The BMJ. “There are so many people whose lives have been changed dramatically—but what I don’t know is how many or why.”

The Worldwide Corona Crisis, Global Coup d’Etat Against Humanity

by Michel Chossudovsky

Michel Chossudovsky reviews in detail how this insidious project “destroys people’s lives”. He provides a comprehensive analysis of everything you need to know about the “pandemic” — from the medical dimensions to the economic and social repercussions, political underpinnings, and mental and psychological impacts.

“My objective as an author is to inform people worldwide and refute the official narrative which has been used as a justification to destabilize the economic and social fabric of entire countries, followed by the imposition of the “deadly” COVID-19 “vaccine”. This crisis affects humanity in its entirety: almost 8 billion people. We stand in solidarity with our fellow human beings and our children worldwide. Truth is a powerful instrument.”

Reviews

This is an in-depth resource of great interest if it is the wider perspective you are motivated to understand a little better, the author is very knowledgeable about geopolitics and this comes out in the way Covid is contextualized. —Dr. Mike Yeadon

In this war against humanity in which we find ourselves, in this singular, irregular and massive assault against liberty and the goodness of people, Chossudovsky’s book is a rock upon which to sustain our fight. –Dr. Emanuel Garcia

In fifteen concise science-based chapters, Michel traces the false covid pandemic, explaining how a PCR test, producing up to 97% proven false positives, combined with a relentless 24/7 fear campaign, was able to create a worldwide panic-laden “plandemic”; that this plandemic would never have been possible without the infamous DNA-modifying Polymerase Chain Reaction test – which to this day is being pushed on a majority of innocent people who have no clue. His conclusions are evidenced by renown scientists. —Peter Koenig

Professor Chossudovsky exposes the truth that “there is no causal relationship between the virus and economic variables.” In other words, it was not COVID-19 but, rather, the deliberate implementation of the illogical, scientifically baseless lockdowns that caused the shutdown of the global economy. –David Skripac

A reading of Chossudovsky’s book provides a comprehensive lesson in how there is a global coup d’état under way called “The Great Reset” that if not resisted and defeated by freedom loving people everywhere will result in a dystopian future not yet imagined. Pass on this free gift from Professor Chossudovsky before it’s too late. You will not find so much valuable information and analysis in one place. –Edward Curtin

The recently announced ceasefire is a blessing for Palestinians and Israelis alike—a chance for prisoners to be exchanged, humanitarian aid to be distributed to those in need, and for emotions on both sides of the conflict to cool down.

While the ceasefire, negotiated between Israel and Hamas by Qatar, was mutually agreed between the two parties, let no one be fooled into thinking this was anything less than a victory for Hamas. Israel had taken a very aggressive position that, given its stated objective of destroying Hamas as an organization, it would not agree to a ceasefire under any conditions.

Hamas, on the other hand, had made one of its primary objectives in initiating the current round of fighting with Israel the release of Palestinian prisoners, and in particular women and children, held by Israel. Seen in this light, the ceasefire represents an important victory for Hamas, and a humiliating defeat for Israel.

One of the reasons Israel eschewed a ceasefire was that it was confident that the offensive operation it had launched into northern Gaza was going to neutralize Hamas as a military threat, and that any ceasefire, regardless of the humanitarian justification, would only buy time for a defeated Hamas enemy to rest, refit, and regroup. That Israel signed on to a ceasefire is the surest sign yet that all is not well with the Israeli offensive against Hamas.

This outcome should not have come as a surprise to anyone. When Hamas launched its October 7 attack on Israel, it initiated a plan years in the making. The meticulous attention to detail that was evident in the Hamas operation underscored the reality that Hamas had been studying the Israeli intelligence and military forces arrayed against it, uncovering weaknesses that were subsequently exploited. The Hamas action represented more than sound tactical and operational planning and execution—it was a masterpiece in strategic conceptualization as well.

One of the main reasons behind the Israeli defeat on October 7 was the fact that the Israeli government was convinced that Hamas would never attack, regardless of what the intelligence analysts charged with watching Hamas activity in Gaza were saying. This failure of imagination came about by Hamas having identified the political goals and objectives of Israel (the nullification of Hamas as a resistance organization by undertaking a policy built on “buying” Hamas through an expanded program of work permits issued by Israel for Palestinians living in Gaza.) By playing along with the work permit program, Hamas lulled the Israeli leadership into complacency, allowing Hamas’ preparations for their attack to be carried out in plain view.

The October 7 attack by Hamas was not a stand-alone operation, but rather part of a strategic plan possessing three main objectives—to put the issue of a Palestinian state back on the front burner of international discourse, to free the thousands of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, and to compel Israel to cease and desist when it came to its desecration of the Al Aqsa Mosque, Islam’s third holiest place. The October 7 attack, on its own, could not achieve these outcomes. Rather, the October 7 attack was designed to trigger an Israeli response which would create the conditions necessary for Hamas’ objectives to reach fruition.

The October 7 attack was designed to humiliate Israel to the point of irrationality, to ensure that any Israeli response would be governed by the emotional need for revenge, as opposed to a rational response designed to nullify the Hamas objectives. Here, Hamas was guided by the established Israeli doctrine of collective punishment (known as the Dahiya Doctrine, named after the West Beirut suburb that was heavily bombed by Israel in 2006 as a way of punishing the Lebanese people for Israel’s failure to defeat Hezbollah in combat.) By inflicting a humiliating defeat on Israel which shattered both the myth of Israeli invincibility (regarding the Israel Defense Forces) and infallibility (regarding Israeli intelligence), and by taking hundreds of Israelis hostage before withdrawing to its underground lair beneath Gaza, Hamas baited a trap for Israel which the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu predictably rushed into.

Hamas has prepared a network of tunnels underneath the Gaza Strip that, in total, stretch for over 500 kilometers. Nicknamed the “Gaza Metro,” these tunnels consist of interconnected deep underground bunkers used for command and control, logistical support, medical treatment, and billeting, along with other tunnel networks dedicated for both defensive and offensive operations. The tunnels are buried deep enough to avoid destruction by most bombs in Israel’s possession and have been provisioned to withstand a siege of up to three months (90 days) in duration.

Hamas knows that it cannot engage Israel in a classic force-on-force encounter. Instead, the goal was to lure Israeli forces into Gaza, and then subject these forces to an endless series of hit-and-run attacks by small teams of Hamas fighters who would emerge from their underground lairs, attack a vulnerable Israeli force, and then disappear back underground. In short, to subject the Israeli military to what is the equivalent of a death by a thousand cuts.

And it worked. While Israeli forces have been able to penetrate into the less urbanized areas of the northern Gaza strip, taking advantage of the mobility and firepower of its armored troops, the progress is illusory, as Hamas forces harry the Israelis continuously, using deadly tandem-warhead rockets to disable or destroy Israeli vehicles, killing scores of Israeli soldiers and wounding hundreds more. While Israel has been reticent in releasing the figures of armored vehicles lost in this fashion, Hamas claims the number is in the hundreds. Hamas’ claims are bolstered by the fact that Israel has halted the sale of older Merkava 3 tanks, and instead has organized their inventory of these vehicles into new reserve armor battalions to make up for the heavy losses being sustained in both Gaza and along the northern border with Lebanon, where Hezbollah forces are engaged in a deadly war of attrition with Israel in operations designed to support Hamas in Gaza.

But the main reason for Israel’s defeat to date is Israel itself. Having taken the bait, and fallen into the Hamas trap, Israel went on to execute its Dahiya Doctrine against the Palestinian population of Gaza, carrying out indiscriminate attacks against civilian objects in blatant disregard for the law of war. An estimated 13,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed by these attacks, including more than 5,000 children. Many thousands more victims remain buried under the rubble of their destroyed housing.

While Israel may have been able to garner the support of the international community in the aftermath of the October 7 attack by Hamas, its gross overreaction has instead turned world public opinion against it—something Hamas was counting on. Today, Israel is increasingly isolated, losing support not only in the so-called Global South, but also in traditional strongholds of pro-Israeli sentiment in the US, UK, and Europe. This isolation, combined with the kind of political pressure Israel is unaccustomed to receiving, helped contribute to the Netanyahu government’s acquiescence regarding the ceasefire and subsequent prisoner exchange.

Whether the ceasefire will hold or not remains to be seen. So, too, the question of turning the ceasefire into a lasting cessation of hostilities remains an open question. But one thing is certain—having declared that victory is defined by Hamas’ total defeat, the Israelis have set the stage for a Hamas victory, something Hamas achieves simply by surviving.

But Hamas is doing more than surviving — it is winning. Having fought the Israel Defense Forces to a standstill on the battlefield, Hamas has seen every one of its strategic objectives in this conflict reach fruition. The world is actively articulating the absolute necessity of a two-state solution as a prerequisite for a lasting peace in the region. Palestinians held prisoner by Israel are being exchanged for the Israelis Hamas took hostage. And the Islamic world is united in condemning Israel’s desecration of the Al Aqsa Mosque.

None of these issues were on the table on October 6. That they are being addressed now is testament to the success Hamas enjoyed on October 7, and in the days and weeks that followed, as Israeli forces were defeated by a combination of Hamas’ tenacity and their own predilection for indiscriminate violence against civilians. Far from being eliminated as a military and political force, Hamas has emerged as perhaps the most relevant voice and authority when it comes to defending the interests of the Palestinian people.

Israel Bombed Civilians on October 7, Deliberately Created Destruction in Order to Justify Its Aggression Against Gaza

According to the [Israeli] Hebrew media, the Israeli police’s initial investigation proved that Israeli helicopters bombed the Israeli civilians who participated in the nature party on Oct. 7 [2023] (sic., refers to Nov. 18, 2023 Haaretz report that one Israeli army helicopter firing at Hamas terrorists may have accidentally also hit some Israeli civilians; the [Israeli] police have denied this report).

This means that Israeli military aircraft caused great destruction in the area and in some of the settlements (i.e., Israeli towns near the Gaza Strip), after the so-called ‘Hannibal Directive’ was activated, which allows the occupation police and occupation army to kill everyone (sic., the directive calls to prevent the capture of Israeli soldiers even at the risk of harming Israeli forces).

Therefore, the ministry thinks that the conclusions of the aforementioned investigation cast doubt on the Israeli versions regarding the destruction and killing that took place in that area, especially on everything concerning the images and videos showing the destruction and the fires that broke out in many houses as a result of this bombing.

The ministry demands that all media outlets, senior UN officials, and heads of state monitor this topic, show interest in the Hebrew media publications on the topic, and reexamine their positions in light of this.

Israeli Ministry of Intelligence: Let’s Deport Palestinians to the Sinai Desert. “Erase the Palestinian Territories”

The Israeli Intelligence Ministry-which oversees the operation of the Mossad and Shin Bet (the external and internal intelligence services) under the direction of the prime minister-recommends the forced and permanent relocation of the entire Palestinian population of Gaza to Egypt’s Sinai desert peninsula. Tent camps and later permanent settlements should be established there. An inaccessible strip several kilometers wide should be established in Egyptian territory to prevent Palestinians from approaching the border with Israel.

The plan, which the Netanyahu government is working on through negotiations with Egypt, also involves the Palestinian population of the West Bank. Emblematic is the image of an Israeli bulldozer in the West Bank Palestinian Territory knocking down the monument to Palestine’s historic leader Yasser Arafat.

The Netanyahu government’s goal is clear: to erase the Palestinian Territories. This is confirmed by the fact that the Israeli attack is not only exterminating the Palestinian population, but is making the Gaza territory uninhabitable, so that the deportation of Palestinians to the Sinai or elsewhere, disguised as an “international humanitarian operation,” is inevitable.

From this situation emerges the need to focus action against the war on precise political objectives.

In Italy there can be basically three:

1) The repeal of Law 94/2005, which institutionalizes full-scale military cooperation between Italy and Israel.

2) The demand that the United Nations immediately send an international peacekeeping force to Gaza, the territory of the State of Palestine, which since 2012 has been part of the United Nations with all rights except voting rights.

3) The indictment of Israel’s leaders for war crimes, crimes against humanity and the crime of genocide.

Insider reported:

The deployment of AI-controlled drones that can make autonomous decisions about whether to kill human targets is moving closer to reality, The New York Times reported.

Lethal autonomous weapons, that can select targets using AI, are being developed by countries including the U.S., China and Israel.

The use of the so-called “killer robots” would mark a disturbing development, say critics, handing life and death battlefield decisions to machines with no human input.

Several governments are lobbying the UN for a binding resolution restricting the use of AI killer drones, but the U.S. is among a group of nations — which also includes Russia, Australia and Israel — who are resisting any such move, favoring a non-binding resolution instead, The Times reported.

Three Presidents Who Made Thanksgiving a National Holiday — And What They Were Thankful For

November 26th, 2023 by Ellen Brown

Three U.S. presidents were instrumental in establishing Thanksgiving as a regular national event.

On October 3, 1789, George Washington declared the first federal Thanksgiving holiday. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln made it an annual federal holiday. And in 1941, Franklin Roosevelt signed a bill setting the date at the fourth Thursday of every November. All three presidents were giving thanks for bringing the country through a major financial crisis related to war, and they all achieved this feat through what Sen. Henry Clay called the “American system” of banking and finance – sovereign or government-issued money and credit.

For Washington, the challenge was freeing the American colonies from the imperial rule of Britain, then the world’s leading military power, when the new government lacked a source of funding. Lincoln faced a similar challenge, leading the Northern states in a civil war while lacking a national bank or national currency to fund it. For Roosevelt, the challenge was bringing the country through the Great Depression and World War II, when 9,000 banks had gone bankrupt at the beginning of his first term and the country was again without a source of credit.

In 1796, after 20 years of public service, George Washington warned in his farewell address to “cherish public credit” and avoid “accumulation of debt,” and to “avoid foreign entanglements” (“steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world”). He would no doubt be alarmed to see where we are 227 years later. We have a federal debt of $33.7 trillion, bearing an interest tab of nearly $1 trillion annually — over one-third of personal tax receipts. And we have a military budget from “foreign entanglements” that is also approaching one trillion dollars, devouring more than half the annual discretionary budget. Meanwhile, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers, the country is in serious need of infrastructure funding, tallied at $3 trillion or more; but our debt-strapped Congress has no appetite or capacity for further infrastructure outlays.

However, Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt faced financial challenges that were equally daunting in their day; and the country came through them and continued to thrive, using a funding device that Benjamin Franklin described as “a mystery even to the politicians.”

Hamilton’s Revolutionary Fix: Debt-for-Equity Swaps

To fund the Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress resorted to simply issuing the money as paper receipts for goods and services, as the colonial governments had done with their paper scrip. It was this that Franklin wrote was “a mystery even to the politicians, how we could pay with paper that had no previously ﬁxed fund appropriated speciﬁcally to redeem it.” He said, “This currency as we manage it is a wonderful machine.” Thomas Paine called it a “cornerstone” of the Revolution.

But the Continental dollar was not a pure fiat currency. It was “a zero-interest bearer bond.” That means it was a debt, which had to be repaid. By the end of the Revolutionary War, the new government was $77 million in debt — $40 million in domestic debt, $12 million in foreign debt, and $25 million in state debt incurred in the Revolution — with no apparent means of repayment.

Alexander Hamilton, Washington’s Treasury Secretary, solved the problem with debt-for-equity swaps. State debt was accepted in partial payment for stock in the First Bank of the United States (BUS), paying a 6% dividend. The rest was to be paid in gold. The Bank leveraged this capital into credit, issued as the first U.S. currency.

BUS loans were based on the fractional reserve model. Hamilton wrote, “It is a well established fact, that Banks in good credit can circulate a far greater sum than the actual quantum of their capital in Gold & Silver.” That was the model of the Bank of England (BOE), the financial engine of the oppressors; but there were fundamental differences between the BUS and BOE models. The BOE was privately owned and was operated for private profit. It was chartered to be an instrument of government policy capitalized exclusively by public debt. The government would pay the private lenders, who controlled what policies could be funded. What early American economists called the “British System” was geared to exploiting the colonies through “free trade” and the government through usurious interest payments.

Hamilton’s BUS, by contrast, was to be a commercial bank, funding itself by generating credit for public works. Its primary purpose, following Hamilton’s Report on Public Credit, was to issue credit to the government and private interests for internal improvements and other economic development. Hamilton said a bank’s function was to generate active capital for agriculture and manufactures, increasing the quantity and quality of labor and industry. The BUS was intended to establish a sovereign currency, a banking system, and a source of credit to build the nation, creating productive wealth, not just financial profit.

It was thus a national development bank, and so was the Second BUS chartered after the First BUS charter expired. Infrastructure and productivity flourished during that period, including completion of the Erie Canal. But Pres. Andrew Jackson thought only silver or gold coins qualified as an acceptable medium of exchange. He declared war on the bank and shut it down, leaving the country without a national currency or source of national credit for nearly three decades.

Lincoln’s Greenbacks and the National Bank Act

When President Lincoln came into office, he was faced with the prospect of a crippling war debt to British-backed banks at 24% to 36% interest. To avoid that “re-conquest by debt,” his government returned to the practice of the American colonists: it issued U.S. Notes or “Greenbacks,” actually doubling the money supply. The National Bank Act was also passed, allowing banks in the national banking system to issue National Bank Notes backed by the U.S. Treasury. To join the system, banks had to capitalize their banknotes in part with government debt.

These new monies funded not only the war effort but rapid economic development. Most famous was completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, linking both sides of the nation by 1869 and returning a profit to the government. The telegraph system developed beside the railroad; railroad track expanded; and freight tonnage between New York and Chicago grew 75%. By the end of the war, 90 trains entered Chicago every day (vs. none in 1850). Factory output boomed, and mechanization allowed agriculture to flourish, despite one million men being under arms. The money supply was doubled but did not trigger price inflation after the war, because supply and demand rose together, keeping prices in balance.

The Federal Reserve and “Checkbook Money”

But Lincoln was assassinated, the Greenbacks were discontinued, silver was demonetized, and a deep depression followed. A major banking crisis in 1906 led to passage in 1913 of the Federal Reserve Act, modeled on the Bank of England. The twelve Federal Reserve Banks are all 100% owned by the private banks in their districts. The national currency is issued as “Federal Reserve Notes,” which are lent or sold to private banks and bond dealers. Rather than issuing dollars, the U.S. government issues debt (bonds, bills and notes), which it sells on the open market to the bond dealers at interest.

Federal Reserve Act Signed into Law | Federal Reserve History

Today private banks rather than the government issue most of the money supply by creating dollars on their books as loans. That practice dates back to the post-civil-war era. Before the 1860s, banks printed paper promissory notes called “banknotes” that were redeemable in gold or “real bills” (promises to deliver goods in the future). These notes were then lent to borrowers. Real bills could not be leveraged, since they were specific to particular goods; but gold could be and was, leading to bank runs when customers doubted their bank’s ability to repay all the claims against its gold. The National Bank Act stabilized that system by maintaining the value of National Bank Notes from state to state.

In an effort to get state-chartered banks to join the national banking system, the National Bank Act imposed a heavy tax on their banknotes. But many banks avoided the tax by replacing banknotes with checkbooks: the loan amount was just written into the borrower’s account as a “deposit,” and the borrower wrote his own promissory note in the form of “checkbook money.” These deposits are counted in the money supply, and that is how banks now “create money” – nearly all of it.

FDR and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation

The Federal Reserve was supposed to prevent bank runs by providing reserves, but it obviously failed in that endeavor. The early 1930s saw the worst contagion of bank runs in history. Loose credit in the 1920s triggered speculative bubbles on leveraged borrowing; and when the bubble inevitably burst in the Crash of 1929, liquidation of assets was forced on the borrowers. Depositors rushed to withdraw funds, triggering runs; 9,000 banks failed; and $7 billion in deposits were frozen. The money supply shrank, yet the Fed did not intervene.

To stimulate the economy and restore jobs, FDR’s government therefore reverted to Hamilton’s “American System.” The Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC), set up by President Hoover to save the banks, was repurposed and greatly expanded to leverage credit for manufacturing and development. Begun with a modest $500 million in capitalization, the RFC lent or invested over $40 billion from 1932 to 1957. It funded the New Deal and World War II and returned a net profit to the government of $690 million.

The RFC was not a depository bank and did not take deposits. For liquidity it issued bonds, most of which were bought by the federal government. The RC then made loans to local governments and productive small businesses at below-market rates. To repay the loans, cities that were over their general obligation bond limits issued “revenue bonds,” repaid with the revenues generated by the works funded by the loans.

The RFC provided off-budget funding. According to James Butkiewicz, professor of economics at the University of Delaware:

The RFC was an executive agency with the ability to obtain funding through the Treasury outside of the normal legislative process. Thus, the RFC could be used to finance a variety of favored projects and programs without obtaining legislative approval. RFC lending did not count toward budgetary expenditures, so the expansion of the role and influence of the government through the RFC was not reflected in the federal budget.

The Chinese Economic Miracle

Today the stellar model for infrastructure development is China, which went from one of the poorest countries in the world to global economic powerhouse in four decades. Among other achievements, between 2008 and 2019 China built 18,000 miles of high-speed rail, along with the world’s largest dam and power station. How was all that funded? The government owns 80% of Chinese banking assets, including three massive “policy banks” designed to carry out the policies of the government. Government-owned banks fund the projects with credit, and fees generated by the projects repay the loans.

Predominant among the policy banks is China Development Bank (CDB), the largest development bank in the world. It has a national network of local branches to coordinate policies and projects; but like the RFC, it does not take private savings. Rather, it issues bonds. CDB bonds make up 25% of the national bond market, second only to those of the Ministry of Finance (the Chinese Treasury). CDB bonds have a credit rating as high as the government’s and are in high demand.

China’s publicly-owned banks issued so much credit for infrastructure and development that its money supply (M2) actually grew 2900% in the last 27 years, yet hyperinflation did not result. Why? China’s GDP shot up in tandem, keeping supply and demand in balance.

Development Banks to the Rescue

China’s massive infrastructure development has been credited with pulling the world out of the Great Recession, and its current tack is to repeat that effort. In 2022, the Chinese government pledged the yuan equivalent of $120 billion to the policy banks for infrastructure funding to revive the economy.

We could do that too — revive the U.S. economy with a self-funding National Infrastructure Bank. H.R.4052, the National Infrastructure Bank Act of 2023, follows the Hamiltonian model. For capital, it proposes debt-for-equity swaps with federal bondholders, adding a 2% dividend on top of the bond payouts for enticement. The swap would be bonds for non-voting bank shares, which could be swapped back for the bonds after twenty years. Unlike the RFC, the NIB is proposed to be a depository bank, able to leverage its capital to create deposits as loans on its books. Cities could repay these low-interest loans with revenue bonds funded by the infrastructure they create, as in the 1930s.

Abundance is the hallmark of Thanksgiving, and affordable credit is the key to abundance. If we can duplicate the feats of Washington, Lincoln, and FDR, we can turn debt into equity for an infrastructure bank that generates low-cost credit for development and create an abundant economy we can be thankful for!

How to Take Down the Billionaires. Form Independent Communities

Our front against corporate fascism cannot be a weekend hobby for the well-to-do. It must be a 24 hours a day effort that is supported at every step by our independent communities.

At the core of this movement will stand a network of 100% economically independent, intellectually independent and self-sufficient communities. The number of these cooperatives and communities may be small at first, but once we have a model that can be exported, they will increase rapidly.

Economically independent means that we can produce our own products (clothes, furniture, tools, housing) within the community, create our own currency and our own barter system that is 100% independent of the Federal financial system, and we can grow our own food to the best of our ability without relying on the monopoly of distribution and logistics, the wrapping of everything in plastic and paper, the taxes and charges on everything that we eat, and the pesticides, herbicides and petro-fertilizers and the GMOs that cost us and kill us. If we get these vampire middle men out of the way, our movement will be far more powerful and we will not have these parasites sucking our economic lifeblood.

Intellectually independent means that we avoid the commercial television broadcasts that are meant to dumb down the population, and we create our own independent journalism and run our own alternative schools for our children. We will engage in discussions among citizens concerning local, national and international issues that will allow for a rational and informed discussion without the fluff, the hype and the blatantly anti-intellectual agenda of the corporate media.

That means that we will avoid like the plague the thought leaders that corporations force-feed us and rather strive to increase the intellectual independence and capacity of all citizens; we will recognize the potential of all to rise to the intellectual level demanded of them as citizens.

A pledge of membership and of joint ownership of the village, the community, that we join is an extremely effective means of creating a clear awareness of our independence through cooperation.

We will welcome to our growing communities those who were laid off in the COVID-19 firings, those who have been economically destroyed by lockdowns and other political attacks, and those persecuted for not taking vaccines. Moreover, the farmland that multinational corporations and billionaires like Bill Gates claim to possess belongs to our communities. In accord with the Constitution of the United States, we do not recognize the purchase of our precious farmland, critical to our survival, by billionaires and multinational corporations using fake money and other financial tricks. They own nothing.

OpenAI Is Falling Apart: The Dilemma of Ilya Sutskever

OpenAI is falling apart.

What remains will still be an extremely consequential AI developer with a big bunch of the best talent in global AI – but not genius.

Microsoft is now in full control – commerce including with the US power handlers is now on top and the founding principles are out.

There is no chance Ilya can realize his visions in OpenAI anymore. No way.

Everyone from tech industry insiders to average bystanders marveled over the past week at how some of the brightest minds in Silicon Valley managed to briefly turn the world’s leading AI company into a laughing stock.

The drama that unfolded at OpenAI nearly a year to the day after the institute first captured people’s imagination with the release of ChatGPT is now over—or at least paused—with co-founder Sam Altman reinstated as CEO.

But experts now believe OpenAI crossed the Rubicon and there is no going back to the way things were, even if Altman’s in-house rivals, among them Ilya Sutskever, wish for nothing more. (Fortune, November 24, 2023)

The Dilemma for Ilya Sutskever Is Acute

The meaning, rationale, governance, principles, and power in OpenAI have changed completely. Even if Ilya stays, he will still no longer work for the company he helped create and led scientifically to its achievements. The new OpenAI will not give a damn about an “AI that loves humanity.” This is not only tough but impossible for Ilya.

If Ilya leaves with some of the best and most loyal talent, they will probably be a minority with less developers and bereft of some intellectual rights of their creation. But new talent and the right kind of individuals will love to go there. Tough, but possible.

Breaking things down and starting over sometimes even creates a breakthrough.

Ilya has to leave and realize his visions by starting his own.

There is no other way.

OpenAI will just be an ordinary big commercial AI company – a little better but fundamentally no different from Google. Not nearly the room like before for Ilya to work, and Ilya cannot change that. Ilya, on his side, does not need OpenAI or depend on Microsoft. Ilya will always attract the right talent, the right kind of people with that talent (crucial), and the right kind of capital partners with his conditions.

Ilya starting his own company will be even more successful than before.

Go, go, go!

Il Ministero dell’Intelligenge Israeliano: Deportare I Palestinesi nel Deserto del Sinai | Grandangolo – Pangea

November 25th, 2023 by Manlio Dinucci

Il Ministero dell’Intelligence israeliano – che supervisiona il funzionamento del Mossad e dello Shin Bet (i servizi segreti esterno e interno) sotto la direzione del Primo Ministro – raccomanda il trasferimento forzato e permanente dell’intera popolazione palestinese di Gaza nella penisola desertica del Sinai in Egitto. Qui dovrebbero essere create tendopoli e successivamente insediamenti permanenti.

Dovrebbe essere istituita una fascia inaccessibile larga diversi chilometri, in territorio egiziano, per impedire ai palestinesi di avvicinarsi al confine con Israele. Il piano, a cui il governo Netanyahu sta lavorando attraverso una trattativa con l’Egitto, coinvolge anche la popolazione palestinese della Cisgiordania.

Emblematica l’immagine di un bulldozer israeliano che, nel Territorio Palestinese della Cisgiordania, abbatte il monumento al leader storico della Palestina Yasser Arafat.

L’obiettivo del governo Netanyahu è chiaro: cancellare i Territori palestinesi. Lo conferma il fatto che l’attacco israeliano non solo sta sterminando la popolazione palestinese, ma sta rendendo il territorio di Gaza inabitabile, così da rendere inevitabile la deportazione dei palestinesi nel Sinai o altrove, camuffata da “operazione umanitaria internazionale”.

Da tale situazione emerge la necessità di focalizzare l’azione contro la guerra su precisi obiettivi politici. In Italia possono essere fondamentalmente tre:

1) L’abrogazione della Legge C. 5592 del 2005 che istituzionalizza la cooperazione militare a tutto campo tra Italia e Israele.

2) La richiesta che le Nazioni Unite inviino immediatamente una forza internazionale di peacekeeping a Gaza, territorio dello Stato di Palestina che dal 2012 fa parte delle Nazioni Unite con tutti i diritti, salvo quello di votare.

3) La messa in stato di accusa dei capi di Israele per crimini di guerra, crimini contro l’umanità e crimine di genocidio.

“Never before has man had such capacity to control his own environment, to end thirst and hunger, to conquer poverty and disease, to banish illiteracy and massive human misery. We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world–or to make it the last.”

– President John F. Kennedy, September 20, 1963 speech to the UN, two months and two days before his death. [1]

Sixty years ago…

According to the official story released by the Warren Commission Report, the murder of John F. Kennedy was an achievement of one man, Lee Harvey Oswald, the lone gunman. [2]

His actions just happened to coincide with the decision by Dallas Sheriff Bill Decker, two hours before the attack on Kennedy, to order all one hundred of his deputies, “to take no part whatsoever in the security of the presidential motorcade.” And Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry also gave an order to keep officers out of Dealey Plaza during the time the president was travelling through it. As he later pointed out in his book, The JFK Assassination Files, Curry was following the orders of the Secret Service. [3]

Lee Harvey Oswald could only be shooting from behind Kennedy. And yet, several individuals testified that the bullet that killed Kennedy entered from the front and exited through the back of his head! Only ten minutes before Oswald shot Kennedy from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD) a secretary in the building who knew him saw him having lunch on the second floor! [4]

Oil billionaires expecting Kennedy to pass laws which would have them spending substantial amounts of taxes from their incomes held a party the night before the assassination. Vice-President Lyndon Johnson and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover were apparently in attendance. Then a week later, a second big party was held at an oil billionaire’s mansion where attendees were served champagne and were laughing apparently all the way to the bank. [5]

With these and other coincidences and realities in full display, one can come to one of two conclusions.

1) Lee Harvey Oswald was quite an amazing guy!

2) The real culprit(s) succeeded in pinning the blame exclusively on him!

As the anniversary has passed us over, we decided to commemorate the domestic event living on in infamy by looking at one researcher and two sets of evidence seldom on display when casual observers choose to talk about the death of perhaps the last president enjoying his level of high popularity.

Jacob Hornberger is a lawyer, a JFK investigator and author of two JFK related books in the last decade: The Kennedy Autopsy and An Encounter with Evil: The Abraham Zapruder Story. Hornberger brings these two books to light during this feature interview on the Global Research News Hour.

Jacob G. Hornberger is founder and president of The Future of Freedom Foundation. He was born and raised in Laredo, Texas, and received his B.A. in economics from Virginia Military Institute and his law degree from the University of Texas. He was a trial attorney for twelve years in Texas. He also was an adjunct professor at the University of Dallas, where he taught law and economics. In 1987, Mr. Hornberger left the practice of law to become director of programs at the Foundation for Economic Education. He has advanced freedom and free markets on talk-radio stations all across the country as well as on Fox News’ Neil Cavuto and Greta van Susteren shows and he appeared as a regular commentator on Judge Andrew Napolitano’s show Freedom Watch.

F-16 Fighter Jets Yet to Arrive. Kiev Regime is Desperate. Ukraine Air Force in Shambles

November 24th, 2023 by Drago Bosnic

***

After over 20 months of talk about various “game-changing NATO weapons” that would “drive Russia behind the Urals”, particularly the much-touted F-16 fighter jets, the Kiev regime doesn’t seem to be so enthusiastic anymore. Namely, the Neo-Nazi junta is now whining that the F-16s they’re supposed to be getting simply won’t make the cut against advanced Russian fighter jets. Thus, they’re already complaining about the need to modernize the US-made aircraft so it could stand a chance against Moscow’s platforms. The Kiev regime is particularly unhappy with the radar systems these F-16s will come with and is demanding they be upgraded before delivery, because they can’t even match the existing MiG-29s they’re supposed to replace (to say nothing of the higher-end Su-27s).

According to Oleksandra Ustinova, a prominent lobbyist for NATO arms deliveries and a member of the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament), discussions are ongoing regarding the modernization of F-16s that are slated for delivery to the Neo-Nazi junta. In an interview with the European Pravda, she emphasized the need for a better radar and more advanced missiles, as the ones that are supposed to be delivered are not up to the task. Ustinova confirmed that talks about applying the necessary upgrades are in progress, but refused to give more details. She complained about the acquisition process, calling it challenging due to communication issues with the Kiev regime’s NATO backers, particularly Washington DC, which, according to her, keeps 83% of the “aid” funds in the US.

“In addition, when we talk about the supply of weapons, 83% of the money allocated for weapons for Ukraine actually remains in America, because the state purchases these weapons from American manufacturers,” Ustinova said, later also adding: “After all, giving us aircraft with a radar range of 60 kilometers like a MiG does not make sense.”

While the exact type of F-16 fighter jets that the Neo-Nazi junta will get remains a secret, considering these claims, as well as the fact that one of the main donors is Norway which operated the F-16AM/BM Block 15 MLU (Mid-Life Upgrade), all of which were retired in 2022 in favor of the deeply troubled F-35, it’s safe to assume what sort of aircraft the Kiev regime will get. However, some of its over-enthusiastic military sources are claiming that the modernized aircraft would get the advanced AN/APG-83 Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR). This is an advanced AESA (active electronically scanned array) radar based on the F-22’s AN/APG-77 and the F-35’s AN/APG-81. They believe that this advanced AESA radar is capable of fulfilling their requirements to face Russian jets.

The Kiev regime is hoping that the AN/APG-83 can even be paired with old F-16s that some of their military sources erroneously labeled as the Block 20 MLU. Still, only the less advanced F-16 Block 15 were outfitted with the MLU upgrade. As for the AN/APG-83, the financial aspect of such an advanced (and expensive) upgrade should certainly be taken into account. The US Air Force (USAF) is currently undergoing a major modernization program for over 600 of its F-16C/D Block 40/42 and 50/52 variants. How likely is the Pentagon to give the go-ahead for transferring such advanced radars to the Kiev regime when its own jets are yet to get them? Not very, I’d argue. However, even if it does happen, the Neo-Nazi junta surely won’t be happy to learn that this would further delay the delivery of F-16s.

The process of training Ukrainian pilots for some of the most basic variants of the US-made jet is already taking too long.

Retraining them for a modernized version would take even longer and that’s without taking into account the time and resources needed to upgrade the existing F-16s slated for the Kiev regime forces. The acquisition process has been pushed back several times already and current estimates predict that the jets won’t be available before mid to late 2024. What’s more, there’s also the question of training the ground crews that are supposed to conduct maintenance, repairs and other logistics, further exacerbating the issue. However, the real pushback from the US might have the least to do with money, resources, deadlines or even having to undercut its own fleet for Kiev’s sake.

Namely, the real risk for the Pentagon comes from the possibility of Russia getting the chance to examine these advanced radars. With Russian jets such as the MiG-31BM, Su-35S and Su-57 in the skies over Ukraine and now even deadlier advanced SAM (surface-to-air missile) systems, the possibility of any other aircraft in the world surviving in such an environment is effectively zero. Moscow’s specialists could then locate any well-preserved wreckage and study its components, including the AN/APG-83. This would make it possible for Russia to design advanced countermeasures for its own jets and air defense systems, rendering these radars obsolete virtually overnight and making the USAF’s entire modernization effort a completely pointless waste of enormous resources.

This is without even considering the risk of a possible defection, as evidenced by a recent case with one Ukrainian pilot.

There’s also the ever-present reputational damage for the US, as massive combat losses could easily disrupt or even prevent foreign sales. And the danger is not only in the sky, but on the ground as well. Long-range precision strikes with air-launched cruise missiles launched by strategic bombers/missile carriers such as the Tu-95MS and Tu-160 or ground-based ones such as the now legendary “Iskander” could easily destroy entire squadrons parked on runways. Other platforms, such as the MiG-31K/I and even Su-34M strike fighters could fire the 9-A-7660 “Kinzhal” hypersonic missiles and obliterate entire airbases with F-16s, their pilots and ground crews.

Examine the following diagram, reporting Vaccine Adverse Events in Florida following the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in mid-December 2020

Below is a report of the Florida Department of Health published in February 2023, which demonstrates unequivocally that the Covid-19 vaccine launched in mid-December 2020 was conducive to a major shift in the number of Adverse Events reported in 2021, in comparison with all previous years.

Of significance, most governments Worldwide (and across the U.S. and Canada) have failed to inform people on the dangers of the Covid-19 vaccine.

In contrast, The Florida Department of Health acknowledges in this report the adverse events related to the COVID-19 vaccine including:

coagulation disorders, acute cardiac injuries, Bell’s palsy, encephalitis. cardiac arrests, thromboembolic and thrombocytopenic events, cardiovascular disease, etc

Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research November 23, 2023

Overall reports submitted to VAERS, Florida 2006–2022

In Florida alone, there was a 1,700% increase in VAERS reports after the release of the COVID-19 vaccine, compared to an increase of 400% in overall vaccine administration for the same time period (Figure 1).

The reporting of life-threatening conditions increased over 4,400%. This is a novel increase and was not seen during the 2009 H1N1 vaccination campaign. There is a need for additional unbiased research to better understand the COVID-19 vaccines’ short- and long-term effects.

The findings in Florida are consistent with various studies that continue to uncover such risks. To further evaluate this, the Surgeon General wrote a letter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) illustrating the risk factors associated with the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and emphasizing the need for additional transparency.

According to a study, Fraiman J et al, Vaccine. 2022, mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were associated with an excess risk of serious adverse events, including coagulation disorders, acute cardiac injuries, Bell’s palsy, and encephalitis. This risk was 1 in 550 individuals, which is much higher than other vaccines.

A second study, Sun CLF et al, Sci Rep. 2022, found increased acute cardiac arrests and other acute cardiac events following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.

Additionally, Dag Berild J et al, JAMA Netw Open. 2022, assessed the risk of thromboembolic and thrombocytopenic events related to COVID-19 vaccines and found preliminary evidence of increased risk of both coronary disease and cardiovascular disease.

While the CDC has identified safety signals for stroke among individuals 65 and older following the bivalent booster administration, there is a need for additional assessments and research regarding safety of all mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.

To support transparency, the State of Florida reminds health care providers to accurately communicate the risks and benefits of all clinical interventions to their patients, including those associated with the COVID-19 vaccine as additional risks continue to be identified and disclosed to the public.

The State of Florida remains dedicated to protecting communities from the risks of COVID-19 and other public health concerns, specifically by promoting the importance of treatment and promoting prevention through healthy habits. We encourage our health care partners and providers to do the same.

Pallywood Tactics: Al-Shifa Hospital and Israel’s Propaganda Effort

It resembles a chronology of desperation, shifting narratives, and schoolboy howlers. From the outset, the mass lethality of Israeli strikes against Gaza and the collective punishment of its populace needed some justification, however tenuous. If it could be shown, convincingly, that Hamas and its allies had militarised such civilian infrastructure as hospitals, they would become fair game for vengeful air strikes and military assault. Thus, could Israel’s soldiers demonstrate, not merely the animal savagery of Hamas, one indifferent to humanity and suffering, but the virtue of Israel’s own military objectives. The forces of pallid light would again prevail against swarthy evil.

Interest quickly shifted to Al-Shifa Hospital, where the carnage has been horrific. This was said to be the wicked heart of operations, one depicted with exaggerated relish in a video titled “Home to Hamas’ Headquarters, This is an IDF 3D Diagram of the Shifa Hospital”. In an explanatory note, the Israeli Defence Forces state in the crude production that the hospital “is not only the largest hospital in Gaza but it also acts as the main headquarters for Hamas’ terrorist activity.” It goes on to note that, “Terrorism does not belong in a hospital and the IDF will operate to uncover any terrorist infrastructure.”

This bit of amateurish theatrics suitably complemented another effort which made its debut on November 11. In its official Arabic account affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Israel posted a selfie video (now deleted) starring a Palestinian nurse indignant at Hamas’ commandeering of the Al-Shifa hospital. A close inspection of the production could only engender doubt: a well laundered lab coat, appropriate positioning of implicating logos, crude simulations of background bombing, the unconvincing accent. “The only thing missing was a degree hanging in the background saying Tel Aviv Upstairs Medical College,” a scornful Marc Owen Jones of The Daily Beast wrote.

So @israelarabic deleted the tweet of the fake Al Shifa nurse claiming Hamas was taking over the hospital #Gaza pic.twitter.com/dkrZhKeXud

— Marc Owen Jones (@marcowenjones) November 12, 2023

Despite these stumbling efforts, support followed from Israel’s staunch backers, the United States. In a press briefing held on November 14, NSC Coordinator for Strategic Communications, John Kirby, asserted that

“we have information that Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad use some hospitals in the Gaza Strip, including Al-Shifa, and tunnels underneath them to conceal and to support their military operations and to hold hostages.”

The language used by Kirby, however, did not exactly suggest a thriving command and control centre at work, though he would go so far as to claim that the hospital served as a “command-and-control node”. “They have stored weapons there, and they’re prepared to respond to an Israeli operation against that facility.”

When the IDF eventually made its way into the hospital, the initial evidence was not promising. In videos and photos posted by the Israeli forces none revealed tunnels and evidence of a vast command centre. As Aric Toler of the New York Times reported, a mere 10 guns were found at the first count. “The IDF has claimed that the ‘beating heart’ of Hamas’ operations is beneath Shifa. Presumably they’ll release more photos/videos?” In another post, Toler identifies various “grab bags” with “guns and the body armor scattered around, and a laptop next to CD-Rs.”

In another round of public relations tripping, two new videos released by both the IDF and the Shin Bet security agency purported to document, as the Times of Israel describes it, a tunnel shaft with “a winding staircase from around three meters deep, continuing down for another seven meters until it reaches part of the tunnel network. The tunnel continues for five meters, before turning to the right and continuing for another 50 meters.” At the end of the tunnel lies an obstructing blast door, equipped with a hole for shooters.

“The findings,” an IDF statement claimed with weak conviction, “prove beyond all doubt that buildings in the hospital complex are used as infrastructure for the Hamas terror organization, for terror activity. This is further proof of the cynical use that the Hamas terror organization makes of the residents of the Gaza Strip as a human shield for its murderous terror activities.”

Despite some strained satisfaction in the statement, the picture Israel offers is gnarled and tattered. The IDF production teams continue to struggle in reviving a cadaverous narrative, using their own soldiers as props (because that’s convincing) to describe their first impressions on seeing “a terrorist tunnel”. Just as its cream-of-the-crop elite failed to get wind of the October 7 attack, suggesting an expertise drugged by hubris, Israel’s information strategy seems increasingly suspect, slippery and ever subject to qualification. Rifles, a truck, and a hostage or two, do not a central military command centre make.

Watch IDF 1LT Masha describe the moment she saw a terrorist tunnel underneath Gaza's biggest hospital. pic.twitter.com/gGAnG8v7BE

— Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) November 23, 2023

It is also worth noting that physicians and doctors working at the hospital – the authentic ones, in any case – have also been perplexed by the allegations that Al-Shifa serves as a throbbing command and control hub for Hamas and its combat operations. Norwegian physician Mads Gilbert, who has worked at the facility for 16 years, told Democracy Now! that there was “no evidence at all” that such claims were true. “If it was a military command centre, I would not work there.” At least we can be sure that Gilbert is not a stage extra.

In this bleak mess, it is worth stressing that even if the hospital proved to be a military facility, humanitarian protections would not mysteriously cease for those patients and staff within it. “Anything that the attacking force can do to allow the humanitarian functions of that hospital to continue,” reasons Adil Haq of Rutgers Law School, “they’re obligated to do, even if there’s some office somewhere in the building where there is a fighter holed up.” But the strategy against Al-Shifa was never humanitarian to begin with, starting with depriving Gaza access to fuel, food and water. The rest is Pallywood.

Mass Migration, Depopulation. “Ukrainians are Fleeing Ukraine”. Kiev Regime Trying to “Prevent Escapes” on the Western Transcarpathian Border

Ukraine is having difficulty in convincing its citizens to stay in the country.

According to a recent report, the regime’s soldiers are focusing their efforts on preventing citizens from leaving Ukrainian territory on the Transcarpathian border. The case clearly shows how Ukrainian citizens are dissatisfied with the situation in the country and do not support the war with Russia, trying to evade military obligations.

Ukrainian border service officials are located at the region of Transcarpathia trying to control the large flow of Ukrainian citizens who try to cross every day in order to avoid conscription. Many Ukrainian citizens want to enter neighboring nations, such as Hungary, Poland and Romania, as they believe this is the only way to save their lives from the devastating consequences of the conflict.

Unable to convince their compatriots to fight in the war, Ukrainian soldiers are using illegal and anti-humanitarian methods to prevent escapes. Real military operations are being conducted in the region and there is even the use of landmines on the border, showing the intention to injure or kill those who try to enter neighboring countries. Kidnappings of local citizens for forced recruitment have also become commonplace.

It is also important to remember that the Transcarpathian region is a repeated target of Kiev’s ethnic cleansing practices. Being a region of majority of Hungarian ethnicity, Transcarpathia has become a kind of “Western Donbass” in Ukraine. A process of genocide against the local people has been implemented in an increasingly open and public manner in recent years.

This genocide happens on both a cultural and physical level. Hungarian schools have been closed and the native language banned from official documents. In parallel, ethnic Hungarians are recruited en masse and taken without adequate training and poorly equipped to the front lines, where they become easy targets for Russian artillery and die in large numbers. Kiev is taking advantage of its martial law to use non-Ukrainian ethnic citizens as cannon fodder in NATO’s war of aggression against Russia, and there currently clearly appears to be a focus on using the situation to accelerate ethnic cleansing in Transcarpathia.

It is possible to understand the practices of the neo-Nazi regime by remembering its main political inspiration, which is Hitler’s Germany. During the war, Nazi Germany implemented the so-called “Volkssturm”, a mass recruitment measure with forced conscription to form a large national militia. In Ukraine, this is exactly what is being done, giving priority to ethnic groups that the Zelensky government wants to eliminate as quickly as possible, such as the Hungarians.

Militia units are being created in Transcarpathia and called “centers of national resistance”, where, in addition to the forced recruitment of local citizens, sabotage operations are also carried out against any type of resistance from the Hungarian people. Peaceful protests are quickly repressed and data from local anti-war activists is sent to Ukrainian intelligence to enable attacks. There is a clear objective on the part of the regime to eliminate any type of “Hungarian threat” in Transcarpathia, which is why these illegal practices are becoming gradually frequent.

These facts show that the Russians have always been right in their allegations. The current Ukrainian government is really a neo-Nazi junta that hates and persecutes ethnic minorities. Kiev does not respect the Hungarian people and their right to self-determination, in the same way that it never respected the Russians of Donbass, having always promoted violent acts against the local population. Racism, xenophobia and ultranationalism are a vital part of the ideology that became hegemonic in Ukraine in 2014, which is why crimes against non-ethnic Ukrainian citizens are recurrent.

In the same sense, it is clear that local citizens are fatigued of living under the terror of war and want to leave the country as quickly as possible. There is no patriotic motivation that convinces Ukrainians to remain in the country, simply because it seems increasingly clear that Kiev is not fighting for its own people or territory, but for foreign interests that in no way benefit the local population. This awareness is leading many young men of military age to flee the country across the border in Transcarpathia. Kiev reacts using unnecessary violent methods, but the correct path to follow should be another.

Instead of forcing its citizens to fight, Ukraine should change its policies and adopt a humanitarian and sovereign stance, stopping serving as a proxy and leaving its citizens free to choose whether or not to undertake military service. The problem is that these proposals of respect for humanity and democracy are contradictory to the hegemonic neo-Nazi ideology in today’s Ukraine.

Is Armenia Really Arming the Kiev Regime?

Approximately two months after the unfortunate fall of Artsakh (better known as Nagorno-Karabakh), a historically Armenian land occupied by Azerbaijan, resulting in the ethnic cleansing of over 100,000 indigenous Armenians, the current government continues with its disastrous foreign policy. Run by the infamous Sorosite Nikol Pashinyan, the end of Armenia’s troubles is nowhere in sight.

Worse yet, one of the world’s oldest countries and civilizations, spanning millennia and starting with the ancient Kingdom of Urartu nearly 3000 years ago, Armenia is staring into the abyss as its NATO-backed “leader” keeps making one bad decision after another. The victims of this unwise (at best, although the more suitable term would be treacherous) “strategy” are the Armenian people, both in Artsakh and Armenia proper.

The former have lost virtually everything and are now living in refugee camps while their multi-millennial native homeland is being ravaged by Azeri invaders. On the other hand, the latter are running the risk of going through the same, as Azerbaijan and its Neo-Ottoman ally Turkey keep escalating pressure on Armenia. For his part, Pashinyan continues the suicidal pivot toward the political West that intends to use Yerevan to destabilize Moscow’s southern periphery. Back in early October, as the exodus of Artsakh Armenians was unfolding, Pashinyan met French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna, who pledged “support” for the South Caucasus country, including with weapons shipments. Too little, too late, one would argue. However, as long as France can make some money for its Military Industrial Complex, it’s “perfectly fine and dandy”.

The continued suffering of the Armenian people is secondary, it would seem, as Yerevan continues to tilt toward Paris. According to Quest-France, Armenia received up to 24 French “Bastion” armored personnel carriers (APCs) that were originally intended for the Kiev regime. The latter claims to have discarded the armored vehicles on account of their inadequate protection, although some have suggested that the actual reason why the APCs were not delivered to the Neo-Nazi junta (despite the promised donation by the manufacturer) is because Yerevan was willing to pay for them. The price is yet to be disclosed, but various sources report it hovers around half a million euros apiece, an exorbitant sum for the increasingly cash-strapped Armenia that should have other priorities.

The superb performance of Russian drones during the special military operation (SMO) should’ve prompted a wise Armenian leader to acquire them from Moscow, a move which would not only reignite their centuries-old alliance, but would also provide a very real and combat-proven capability to deter and/or defeat further Turko-Azeri aggression. But alas, the Armenian people are unfortunate to have Pashinyan in power. To demonstrate just how spectacularly incompetent he is, we can compare the cost and the performance of a single Russian-made “Lancet” and the French-made “Bastion”. The former costs approximately $35,000, while the latter stands at over $400,000. This would mean that for the price of one “Bastion” APC, Yerevan could acquire at least 11 “Lancet” drones.

Considering the fact that an anti-tank variant of the “Lancet” was documented destroying German “Leopard 2” tanks (costing over $8 million apiece), one of the best in NATO, what chance could the “Bastion” APC possibly have? Thus, the combat performance of the “Lancet” far exceeds its price, making it one of the most cost-effective weapons of our age. Worse yet, Armenia bought up to 24 “Bastion” APCs, meaning that it wasted approximately $10 million that otherwise could’ve been used to acquire nearly 300 “Lancet” drones that would’ve provided a massive advantage over any potential Azeri invasion force. However, Yerevan’s strategic miscalculations don’t seem to be limited to disastrous military thinking only. Namely, there have been disturbing reports that the Pashinyan government will provide weapons to the Kiev regime.

The US-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW), citing “a prominent Kremlin milblogger” (unspecified in the text, but obviously referring to the Militarist) and other Russian sources, claims that Armenia allegedly agreed to transfer its “Tochka-U” short-range ballistic missiles to the Neo-Nazi junta and that it’s supposedly even considering the possibility of leaving the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). On November 9, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Vahan Kostanyan denied this, while the Armenian Ministry of Defense rejected reports about the supposed shipment of missiles to the Kiev regime forces. However, other sources keep claiming that the supposed deal is not only going forward, but could also include air defense systems such as the older S-300 and short-range “Osa-AK”.

The allegations are yet to be substantiated and hopefully will soon be disproven, but Moscow’s distrust towards the Pashinyan regime can hardly be considered unreasonable. Namely, the Secretary of the Armenian Security Council Armen Grigoryan recently met the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, one of the most prominent Kiev regime officials. The participation of one of the highest-ranking Armenian officials at a conference dedicated to the Neo-Nazi junta certainly won’t reassure Russia that Armenia can be considered an ally. This explains why the allegations were even made in the first place, as Moscow cannot be sure what sort of behind-closed-doors agreements were made during the aforementioned conference. If the reports turn out to be true, the damage to Russian-Armenian ties could be irreparable.

Despite its age and obsolescence against the Russian military, the “Tochka-U” missile system can be used against civilian targets, as evidenced by the Kiev regime’s indiscriminate usage of all sorts of weapons against cities and towns across Ukraine and even some in Russia. What’s more, if Yerevan does have hundreds of “Tochka-U” missiles, the obvious question arises, why weren’t they used to protect Artsakh? Worse yet, if Armenia indeed sends “Osa-AK” and S-300 SAM (surface-to-air missile) systems to the Neo-Nazi junta, while importing the much more expensive French “Mistral” short-range air defense systems, this could end up being one of the most self-defeating moves ever made by any country in recent times. Since there certainly hasn’t been a shortage of such suicidal moves in Yerevan, who could possibly criticize Moscow’s suspicion?

The 30^th APEC (Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation) took place in San Francisco between 15 and 17 November, 2023.

Of the Association’s 21 members – Australia; Brunei Darussalam; Canada; Chile; People’s Republic of China; Hong Kong, China; Indonesia; Japan; Republic of Korea; Malaysia; Mexico; New Zealand; Papua New Guinea; Peru; the Philippines; the Russian Federation; Singapore; Chinese Taipei; Thailand; the United States of America; Vietnam – most were present; many by their Heads of State.

The highlights were President Xi Jinping and President Biden – who met at the margin of the meeting, confirming that their relationship had been suffering in the past and that they wanted to revive it, bringing it up to better terms, especially as far as their mutual trading relation is concerned; with accent of “fair trade” as well as in more frequent military consultations.

President Putin, the leader of the Russian Federation, a key APEC partner, was absent.

It is clear there is a mutual dependence between the US and China – especially in trade but also in investments. The more the US invests in China, and China in the US, the greater the reciprocal relationship.

The same applies to their trading relation. The symbiotic economic interrelation between the US and China is a reflection of China’s exports to the US – goods often produced by US corporations manufactured in China; on the other hand, US consumption of Chinese goods without which, US consumption and related GDP indicators would slump.

A typical and pertinent response of President Xi to one of Biden’s threats of more sanctions a few months ago was something to the extent, “Just watch what would happen if we stopped producing your iPhone.”

This interrelation is also a challenge for China’s – and her allies – dedollarization. The solution so far is trading in local currencies. And that is precisely what China is promoting, especially within the RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership), the world’s largest free trade agreement.

RCEP became effective on 1 January 2022 and counts with ten members – Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, China, Japan, Laos, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. RCEP is predicted to become the world’s largest trade agreement by 2030 overshadowing all other worldwide trade agreements taken together. Trading within RCEP is entirely in local currencies.

The RCEP and the ensuing dedollarization may have been a topic of “informal” discussions between the two Presidents, Xi and Biden.

In any case, the US Institute of Peace characterized the talks between the two leaders as “the most constructive and productive since Biden came to Office.” That may be.

Such is always peace-loving President Xi’s precept – good relations with partners. It is a constructive Chinese concept of non-belligerence.

However, from what the media said, Biden had a lot of criticism about China-Russia relations, the war in Ukraine, “aggression” on Taiwan, of course; and China’s non-support of Israel for Israel’s outright slaughter of Palestinians – the eradication of Gaza, and probably all of Palestine.

That already sets “limits” to better relations.

Of what may have happened behind closed doors – in case they had separate, private meetings – nothing emerged, to my knowledge.

Another topic of “hidden” talks may have been the ever tighter strategic and economic relationship between China and Russia.

According to RT (Russia Today) on 20 November, Western currencies have been almost completely phased out in Russia-China trade. Nearly all payments between the countries are now carried out in rubles and yuan.

Since the introduction of Western sanctions on Moscow, Russia and China have accelerated the use of their own currencies in trade, to reach about 95% of all transactions between Russia and China. They are now carried out in one of the countries’ national currencies. This percentage is soon reaching 100%.

Bilateral trade between the two countries is expected to exceed the target of $200 billion this year and may reach $300 billion by 2030.

According to Xinhua News on November 19, and following Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, joint efforts of both sides have achieved more than 20 important accords, including the establishment of a working group on counternarcotics cooperation and the agreement to resume, on the basis of equality and respect, high-level communication and institutional dialogue between the two militaries, and to jointly promote the success of the 28th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Dubai.

To end the APEC Summit on a positive note, President Xi told President Biden,

“It is unrealistic for one side to remodel the other,” and the planet is “big enough for [our] two countries to succeed.”

This is fully reflecting the spirit of China’s philosophy – working towards a joint future with benefits for all.

Below are 35 lies perpetrated and perpetuated by the neo-Nazi Zionists and by Zionist-subverted Australia and other members of the US Alliance West in support of neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel.

As a measure of the success of Zionist lying the results from Google Searches for the indicated phrases in inverted commas are given in brackets. Space does not permit detailed and documented refutation of each Lie here but item #13 gives an example of such refutation.

Refutation: A large body of anti-racist Jews are opposed to the Apartheid and genocidal racism policies of Apartheid Israel. For example, 25% of US Jews surveyed acknowledge that Israel is an Apartheid state.

(14) The Lie that “anti-Zionism is antisemitism” (16,000).

(26) The Lie that as an Occupying Power “Israel has the right to defend itself” (270,000) in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

(27) The Lie that “Palestinian armed resistance” (17,000) is unlawful and terrorism.

(28) The Lie that “Israel is civilized” (2,000).

(29) The Lies that “Hamas is barbaric” (4,000) and “Palestinians are barbaric” (2,000).

(30) The Lie of the false descriptive “Palestinian Territories” (56,400,000) instead of the correct “Occupied Palestinian Territories” (1,700,000).

(31) The Lie that use of the term “final solution” (17,700,000) is anti-Semitic.

(32) The Lie that “Israeli settlements are legal” (2,000).

(33) The Lie of a “two-state solution” (9,300,000) that is now dead because 90% of Palestine has been ethnically cleansed of Indigenous Palestinians.

(34) The Lie that “anti-Semitism” (25,400,000) and “antisemitism” (65,000,000) only refer to anti-Jewish prejudice, with this minimizing “anti-Jewish anti-Semitism” (16,800) and ignoring horrendously deadly and ongoing “anti-Arab anti-Semitism” (3,600) in genocidal US wars on Arab and Muslim countries (see the huge books by Gideon Polya, “US-imposed Post-9/11 Muslim Holocaust & Muslim Genocide”, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”, and “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History”).

(35) The massive Lying by Zionists and pro-Zionists that almost completely ignores “anti-racist Jews” (800).

The core ethos of Humanity is Kindness and Truth but this is comprehensively violated by the genocidally racist and mendacious Zionists through

(a) their sustained, genocidal abuse inflicted on the sorely oppressed Indigenous Palestinians for a century, and

(b) their sustained, egregious lying in support of horrendous Nazi-style Israeli abuse and genocide.

Thus, for a particularly horrible example of this fundamental Zionist perversion, on a per capita basis in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel leads the world in (a) killing children, and (b) killing journalists.

There are 2 kinds of people in the world, those opposing the killing of innocents (notably the Greens and Socialists), and the others. The “others” include the major right-wing Western parties (e.g. the US Democrats and Republicans, the UK Labour and Conservatives, and the Australian Labor and Coalition) and are utterly unfit for decent company, public life and public office.

Zionism is genocidal racism and Nazism without gas chambers but with 90 nuclear weapons, the blockaded and bombed Gaza Concentration Camp and one of the world’s biggest high technology militaries and arms industries. 47.3% of Gazans are children and 72.3% women and children

All human rights for all Palestinians! End the Occupation! Free Palestine! From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free! Ideally there must be a secular and democratic state in Palestine as in post-Apartheid South Africa and involving peace, equal rights for all, zero tolerance for racism, reconciliation, economic justice for all, secular democracy, security, freedom of movement for all, and return of all refugees.

The Occupation and the genocidal mass murder of Occupied Palestinians in Gaza must stop immediately. Decent people around the World must act by

(a) informing everyone they can, and

(b) urging and applying comprehensive Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel and also against all people, politicians, parties, collectives, corporations and countries supporting genocidally racist, nuclear terrorist, serial war criminal, grossly human rights-abusing, child-, mother- and women-abusing and neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel.

Greece Plays Both Sides: Delivers Weapons to Ukraine, Greek Shipping Companies in Lucrative Trade in Russian Oil

November 24th, 2023 by Ahmed Adel

Greece has delivered huge amounts of weapons to Ukraine and has vehemently backed sanctions against Russia. In fact, last year, on September 22, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis declared in an interview with Bloomberg,

“We’re fighting a war against Russia, and we try to support Ukraine.”

However, over the last year, Greek shipowners have dramatically increased their oil shipments from Russia, creating serious tensions between Athens and Kiev. At the same time, it is recalled that in discussions in the European Union about sanctions against Russia, the Greek prime minister defended them.

Effectively, Mitsotakis is trying to play both sides of the conflict, committing fully to instructions from the EU and NATO but also protecting the interests of the Greek oligarchs – the shipowners. The protection of Greek shipowners’ interests by Mitsotakis has caused a rift in relations, especially after Kiev published a “blacklist” of the names of important Greek shipowners, most with extremely close ties to the ruling New Democracy party. Ukraine has put up that list because they transport Russian oil.

Kiev has proven, once again, that it is not a reliable partner who coerces EU members into pushing through the adoption of anti-Russian sanctions.

For Greece to approve the previous 11th package of sanctions against Moscow in June, Kiev removed Greek shipping companies from the “International War Sponsors” register of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) for the transportation of Russian hydrocarbons. After adopting anti-Russian sanctions, Kiev again included the Greek shipowners in the sanctions list.

Instead of showing gratitude to Greece for providing military and financial assistance, especially given its own military confrontations with Turkey and recovering from a devastating economic crisis, Kiev is brazenly manipulating its European partners and, demonstratively, is non-obligatory in its implementation of agreements reached.

Therefore, it can be expected that Kiev will continue to deceive its Western partners. In this situation, the Greek oligarchs are increasingly convinced of the need to reject the package of anti-Russian sanctions being developed by the European Council.

The meeting between Mitsotakis and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Athens in August, on the surface, appeared to be an extremely positive exchange, with the Greek prime minister promising his country’s air force to train Ukrainian F-16 pilots and to continue offering diplomatic and material support. Nonetheless, the authoritative subscription publication Intelligence Online reported that it “has seen missives between Ukrainian and Greek officials that highlight ongoing tensions over Greek shipping companies’ alleged support of sanctioned Russian firms.”

The Greek government never mentioned whether the issue of shipowners was discussed at the Mitsotakis-Zelensky meeting, but it would be surprising if it were not, as four Greek shipping companies are on the “black list.”

In the Wall Street Journal, in a publication entitled “It’s a Bad Boy”, references were made to Greek shipping magnates George Economou, the families of Andreas Martinos and his brother, as well as George Prokopiou, for their listing on the Ukrainian “black list”. As Intelligence Online revealed, the disputes between the two countries relate to the transport of Russian oil by the Greek companies, Delta Tankers, Dynacom Tankers Management, Minerva Marine, TMS Tankers and Thenamaris Ships Management, which – to the great dismay of Athens – were once again blacklisted by Kiev in July.

According to Intelligence Online, the Greek companies were excluded from the “blacklist” but only a month after the passing of the 11th sanctions package in June, the NACP wrote to the Ukrainian foreign minister that the companies had been blacklisted again for not taking a stand against Russia. This turn of events immediately revived tensions between Athens and Kiev to the point where the NACP is concerned that Greece may block additional sanctions against Russia, as happened in June.

Greek shipping firms saw an opportunity to cash in when global shipping companies shunned Russia following the launch of the military operation in February 2022. This business has been so lucrative that the share of Russian oil transported on Greek ships hit an all-time high last year. Around 30% of Russia’s Black Sea oil exports were carried on Greek ships at the start of 2022 but skyrocketed to 53% by May 2023. Experts believe Greek shipping firms make three to five times the usual rates, accounting for billions of euros in profit.

Mitsotakis belongs to a historic liberal political family with over 100 years in the Greek political landscape and protecting the interests of the oligarchs and ruling class. Due to this, Mitsotakis would always follow Brussels and Washington in supporting Kiev, but only until it began affecting the profits of Greece’s oligarchs. This is a fact that Kiev has failed to understand, and this blacklisting after extracting what it wants from its partners will prove to backfire as it will not only harden Greece’s stance on Ukraine ahead of negotiations for the 12th sanctions package on Russia but demonstrate to the rest of the EU that Ukraine cannot be trusted.

How Office Buildings Will be Converted to Smart Cities for the Cartels

The White House released plans to convert massive commercial properties into affordable “zero-emission” housing

The White House announcement is peppered with Great Reset buzzwords, like “clean energy economy” and “zero emissions housing,” and echoes the agendas being pushed by globalists

The “much-needed housing” will provide more room to house the influx of illegal immigrants being driven into the U.S. by drug cartels

Cartels are lying to migrants, telling them that anyone waiting for an immigration appointment can get asylum if they turn themselves in

This tactic ties up border agents so cartels can carry out drug smuggling, kidnapping and human trafficking in less populated areas

The White House released plans to convert massive commercial properties into affordable housing. Along with promoting energy efficiency and “zero emissions conversions” — classic technocrat dictates — the “much-needed housing” will provide more room to house the influx of illegal immigrants¹ being driven into the U.S. by drug cartels.

In the October 2023 fact sheet, which touts the developments as “transit-oriented” and a method to “increase housing supply,” it’s stated:²

“[T]he Biden-Harris Administration is announcing new actions to support the conversion of high-vacancy commercial buildings to residential use, including through new financing, technical assistance, and sale of federal properties.

These announcements will create much-needed housing that is affordable, energy efficient, near transit and good jobs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, nearly 30 percent of which comes from the building sector.”

Paving the Way for a Surveilled, Green ‘Utopia’

The White House announcement is peppered with Great Reset buzzwords, like “clean energy economy” and “zero emissions housing,” and echoes the agendas being pushed by globalists.

The Green New Deal (Green Agenda), “Build Back Better,” the Fourth Industrial Revolution³ (the transhumanist movement) and The Great Reset, officially introduced by World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab and then-Prince Charles in June 2020⁴ — all exist to further and facilitate the implementation of Agenda 21.

Agenda 21 (Agenda for the 21st Century) is the inventory and control plan for all land, water, minerals, plants, animals, construction, means of production, food, energy, information, education and all human beings in the world. The European Green Deal is more of the same — introduced by the European Commission in December 2019⁵ to, in part, replace fossil fuels with “cleaner” energy sources.

The White House cites data showing that office vacancies are at a 30-year high,⁶ straining local economies, while affordable housing is lacking and communities are looking for ways to cut emissions from buildings and transportation. Vacant commercial properties will be repurposed into affordable housing that will be close to transportation, “green,” and ideal for building the smart cities that take away your privacy and autonomy and allow for further surveillance and control.

The proposal aligns with the Great Reset agenda,⁷ which suggests shared goals, such as equality and sustainability, should be at the heart of government and private investments, and rather than funneling government recovery funds and economic-stimulus funding to “fill cracks in the old system,” these should be used to “create a new one that is more resilient, equitable, and sustainable in the long run.”

Schwab added, “This means, for example, building ‘green’ urban infrastructure and creating incentives for industries to improve their track record on environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics.”⁸

It all sounds well and good, except, as Technocracy News reported in June 2020, “the promised Utopia comes with a price — it sets shackles on our personal freedom …”⁹ This could certainly be the case for those living in these affordable, green, smart cities.

As investigative journalist Corey Lynn tweeted, “Here we go … Converting/rezoning commercial buildings to net zero multiuse residential to fill up those abandoned buildings in cities and build their dream smart cities (and likely make room for illegal immigrants), complete with a 54-page guidebook.”¹⁰

The required sacrifices do not apply to the technocrats running the system, however, so ultimately The Great Reset will result in two tiers or people: the technocratic elite, who have all the power and rule over all assets, and the rest of humanity, who have no power, no assets and no say-so in anything.

Why Zero Emissions Has a Dark Side

Zero emissions housing sounds like a good thing on the surface. But the notion can be traced back to decades’ old plans to implement a totalitarian future. In order to establish a new world order, there need to be problems that are global in scope. One of the problems, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, was the environment.

In 1972, a United Nations meeting about climate change was held to come up with a plan to manage the planet in a sustainable manner. This led to the creation of Agenda 21.¹¹ In 2019, WEF entered into a strategic alliance with the United Nations, which called for the UN to “use public-private partnerships as the model for nearly all policies that it implements, most specifically the implementation of the 17 sustainable development goals, sometimes referred to as Agenda 2030.”¹²

Agenda 2030 is aimed at reducing middle-class’ consumption of basic goods and energy, which includes limiting, with an eye toward eliminating, property rights and private ownership for future generations, along with targeting such “luxuries” as ownership of electric appliances and motor vehicles along with suburban housing and air conditioning.¹³

It’s easy to see how turning high-vacancy commercial spaces into high-density housing fits right into this plan.

How Smart, Net Zero Mandates May Steal Your Autonomy

A practical example of how privacy may gradually disappear in these converted commercial spaces is the likely installation of smart devices in the residences. With each smart device that you welcome into your home — such as connected alarm clocks, vehicles, refrigerators and doorbells — another layer of your personal life is revealed.

This is certainly true of smart meters, which are officially known in the U.S. as advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) installations. In 2020, 102.9 million such smart meters were installed by U.S. electric utilities, about 88% of them in personal residences.¹⁴ AMI meters measure and record electricity usage at least every hour, if not more, and provide the data to the utility company and consumer at least once a day.

They’re also capable of distinguishing what type of energy you’re using. So, they know if you’re doing a load of laundry, watching TV or have left your home for the day. While this might not sound nefarious on the surface, it’s an intensely personal form of surveillance — one that could easily be used against you, including to ration your energy. Journalist Abby Martin explained:¹⁵

“If the notion about what you are doing and when you are doing isn’t disturbing enough – it’s worse. These devices are capable of regulating, controlling and even rationing your energy use. Take this example, you are running your fans in the hot summer months and the power company decides you are using too much power, they will take it upon themselves to lower it regardless of the consumer willing to pay for the extra usage.”

Technocrats such as BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and Bill Gates are among those pushing for “net zero” carbon emissions.¹⁶ The deadline Gates has given to reach net zero emissions is 2050,¹⁷ and smart meters are already being positioned as an essential part of this plan.¹⁸

Are They Making Room for the Cartel’s Migrant Mobs?

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), some 1.7 million illegals flowed across the southern border into the U.S. in 2021, another 2.4 million in 2022 and nearly 1.8 million as of August 2023.¹⁹

Many of them have been sent by drug cartels, law enforcement sources told The New York Post, under the false impression that anyone waiting for an immigration appointment through the CBP One app can get asylum if they turn themselves in.²⁰ According to The New York Post:²¹

“Drug cartels are besieging the border by deliberately sending thousands of migrants a day to hand themselves over to Border Patrol officers in different US border towns, sources revealed to The Post. The tactic is meant to tie up already overworked border agents so Mexico’s cartels can carry on their drug and human smuggling operations undisturbed in less populated areas, law enforcement officials explained.

… ‘The way it’s being orchestrated through the cartels, I believe it’s meant to overwhelm the system. The [places] that are being impacted the most are border communities,’ former El Paso City Councilmember Claudia Rodriquez told The Post.”

Kidnapping is another issue. Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission has warned that drug cartels “found the kidnapping and extortion of migrants to be lucrative.” With the number of migrants reaching the border tripling over the last two decades, criminal groups have taken over migration routes, putting children and families at extreme risk.²²

Speaking with NBC News, Nilda García, a researcher at Texas A&M International University in Laredo, explained, “It is very difficult for these groups to pass up this profit, this opportunity to earn money with migrants. Kidnappings are one more layer of its structure … They are very well organized. Sometimes they have military training and access to high-caliber weapons to terrorize migrants.”²³

Is Immigration Intended to Beak Down Nationalism?

The video above features Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s mini-documentary “Midnight At the Border,” in which he travels to the U.S.-Mexico border in Yuma, Arizona, to investigate the illegal immigration issue firsthand.

The uncontrolled influx of illegals also puts an enormous strain on local communities, all of which have limited resources. In May 2023, NYC Mayor Eric Adams announced that nearly half of all NYC hotel rooms were occupied by illegal immigrants.²⁴ The city is reportedly reimbursing hotels more than $300 a night per room,²⁵ which means taxpayers are paying, while the city is slashing services in an effort to balance the budget.

Massive tent cities are also being set up to deal with the migrant influx.²⁶ Is the conversion of office buildings to housing the White House’s “solution” to this crisis? Ultimately, it gives the global cabal one more win in its war against the sovereignty of humanity — and sovereign nations.

As Ivor Cummins, a biochemical engineer with a background in medical device engineering and leading teams in complex problem-solving, explains, “There’s … a massive change in immigration … it has been many times identified as a way of breaking down nationalism … the United Nations … made it clear we need to destroy national, we need to destroy sovereign nations …”²⁷

March 3, 2022 – Brazil – 15 year old Danylo Zinneck Nobre was perfectly healthy. He had his 1st Pfizer mRNA Vaccine on Aug. 24, 2021 and second on Oct. 19, 2021. Here is his story:

He took 2 doses of Pfizer, the first on Aug.24, 2021 and the second on Oct.19, 2021.

Eighteen days later he had some slight fatigue. Then weakness in the legs. And then he began to experience blurred vision and heaviness in the head.

Then on Jan.6, 2022, he had a seizure and was intubated with difficulty swallowing and slurred speech.

He was taken to Hospital. There, an examination was performed without the presence of bacteria or virus. He had normal MRI, and he had several CT scans all with nothing abnormal.

He had daily labs, all normal.

He was left with paralysis in the diaphragm and upper and lower limbs, and had a tracheostomy.

He was diagnosed with Autoimmune Bickerstaff Brainstem Encephalitis (BBE), a rare neurological disease that affects the central nervous system and peripheral.

He underwent plasmapheresis treatment, a procedure aimed at filtering the blood, removing the substances that are causing damage from the plasma.

However, in the 5th session he suffered a hemorrhagic stroke, which was reabsorbed 80%, and an EVD lead was placed.

When changing the EVD, however, there was bleeding followed by brain death.

“My son was totally healthy, he had never been sick, he didn’t even know what a fever was. I stayed with him for 2 months in an ICU room until he died on Mar. 3, 2022.”

2023 April (Masato Ando et al) – Autoantibody-negative but probable pediatric autoimmune encephalitis following COVID-19 vaccination: A case report

14 year old Japanese girl had 3rd Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine
19 days later she presented to ER because of a seizure
She had a headache and fever 5 days before the seizure, followed by diarrhea
She gradually became apathetic and developed mutism the day before presentation.
in ER, she was 37.4C, HR 130 bpm, respiratory rate 26 bpm, stiff neck, positive Kernig’s sign.
By the time she was admitted to pediatric ward she couldn’t speak words or follow instructions!
MRI showed multiple areas of brain inflammation
She was diagnosed with autoimmune encephalitis but no antibodies were found
Treatment: she was started on steroid pulse therapy with 3-day IV methylprednisolone at 1g per day.
She returned to her normal self soon after the 2nd dose.

2023 Sep. 6 EMA (European Medicines Agency) Report – Girl 12-17 years old had 1st Pfizer mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine and developed Encephalitis of the brainstem and was paralyzed and disabled.

2023 May 21 (VAERS 2646388) – 10 year old boy (Georgia) had 2nd Pfizer mRNA vaccine on Jan. 25, 2023. In February he started to complain about random headaches. In May 2023 he developed seizures, personality changes, auditory and visual hallucinations.

2022 May 25 (VAERS 2505252) – 14 year old previously healthy boy (California) had 3rd Pfizer mRNA Vaccine on March 18, 2022. 2 months later was hospitalized with encephalitis starting on May 25, 2022 until June 16, 2022. “Has a long road to recovery”. Was in ICU for 2 weeks, had to live in rehab for 2 weeks. Can only attend one class in high school.

2021 Dec. 06 (VAERS 1948381) – 11 year old boy (Texas) had 1st Pfizer mRNA and Flu Vaccine (Quadrivalent GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals) on Nov. 17, 2021. 19 days later, on Dec. 6, he developed severe headaches and somnolence for 7 days. MRI came back as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and he was started on high dose steroids.

2021 Nov. 20 (VAERS 2325596) – 6 year old girl (Illinois) had 1st Pfizer mRNA on Nov.18, 2021. Two days later, she developed whole body hives and joint pain. After seeing many specialists, she was eventually diagnosed with Autoimmune encephalitis.

2021 Oct 31 (VAERS 1853455) – 13 year old boy had Pfizer mRNA Vaccine on Oct. 1, 2021. 1 month later on Oct. 31, 2021 he was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis and Encephalitis.

The Climate Change Mental Asylum – CO2 Fanatics Suffering from Ideological Insanity

By Mark Keenan, November 23, 2023

Looks like the Trudeau Government really wants Canadians to eat … crickets?

Crickets are gaining attention for their high protein content and eco-friendly qualities, making them a potential source of protein for human consumption. One beneficiary cites that recent research indicates that a growing number of Americans are open to incorporating crickets into their diets due to the perceived health and environmental benefits.

But is that enough to justify the millions in grants during a cost of living crisis?

The largest grant, amounting to $8.5 million, was awarded to Aspire Food Group Ltd. through the federal Agri-Innovate Program. Aspire Food Group’s funding is designated to aid in the establishment of a commercial demonstration facility in London, Ontario, dedicated to producing crickets for multiple markets, including pet, human, biomedicine, and agrochemical sectors.

According to Aspire, a significant portion of their cricket protein goes into pet food, but they are also exploring opportunities for human consumption.

Other companies that received government funding include NAAK, which plans to expand its product range to include cricket powder-infused items like steaks, sausages, and falafels. It received $48,517 in October 2018, and $123,178.00 in September 2020.

Prairie Cricket Farms of Manitoba received $75,000 for the period from September 2022 to March 2023 “to optimize processing and management procedures which will allow the firm to achieve enhanced product quality, productivity and profitability.”

Additionally, firms in Bromont, Quebec, Scarborough, and Calgary were awarded contracts aimed at advancing insect protein production.

In Praise of Whistleblowers. Biden Administration Accused of “Spreading Misinformation” regarding Covid-19 Pandemic and 9/11

November 23rd, 2023 by Prof. Bill Willers

***

A State Department official, Sylvia Yacoub, not only has accused the Biden Administration of “spreading misinformation”, but also of being “complicit in genocide”. Her 5-page memo was signed by 100 State Department and USAID officials in a State Department system that, unfortunately, is not for public view. Still, it reveals that conflict exists within governmental structures. In the case of this memo, the impact is certain to be essentially zero. It’s as if leadership is saying, “OK, you’re critical, but now back to work.” So then, how does someone aware of dangerous or treasonous activity make it known to a larger public that needs it?

There is a vast storehouse of secrets within the hundreds of thousands of people in America’s federal alphabet agencies, e.g. CDC, CIA, FDA, EPA, DHS, FBI. There are many more “3-letters”, of course, but those 6 are high in the public mind. Every one impacts on the public’s perception of the Covid-19 Pandemic — of the early lies about there being no existing treatment thus forcing the world toward an untested genetic therapy misnamed “vaccine”, of the relentless in-your-face lies of “safe and effective”, of the censoring of alternative medical views, of hiding the fact of mortality rates vastly higher in the vaccinated. Things like that. Those 6 agencies alone account for ~600,000 federal employees, many who know much about which We The People are intentionally kept in the dark.

Leaderships of the 6 listed adhere with military fidelity to the official story of the Pandemic, now known to be full of orchestrated deceptions. But enforced conformity to a narrative is a key to “success” in dealing with a pandemic, according to Event 201’s strategy as framed mere weeks before the Covid-19 Pandemic was declared.

And when you follow details of Pandemic-related issues in play, you can see their “success” is disastrous to the massive “lower class” — essentially all of humanity that is to remain after the globalist’s Great Reset and the extinguishing of the middle class that is now in progress.

If you look at the Covid-19 Pandemic as an isolated issue, you’re overlooking its role in the ongoing surge toward One World Government, with its involvements in genocide, genetic manipulation and the melding of mind with machine.

The Covid 19 Pandemic is like a mile marker of the road toward One World Government as summarized by David Rockefeller

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other publications, whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years.

It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the bright lights of publicity. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march toward a world government.”

The Covid-19 Pandemic has served as a stepping stone toward the “success” of globalist strategy, as it justified a major increase in governmental oppression in the name of “public health”, the most politicized and weaponized “scientific discipline” of human experience.

But there’s much more than health related issues. Consider Department of Homeland Security collusion with social media to censor Americans.

The DHS is also responsible for the disintegration of America’s southern border and in protecting the surge of millions of illegal aliens into the United States, here able to establish “sleeper cells” of military-age men from all over the world. The slow stepwise introduction of globalist initiatives, such as the ongoing eroding of national boundaries everywhere, makes the relentless move toward One World Government invisible to oblivious citizens. This facilitating the establishment of a potential army within the United States makes “treason” seem much too tame a charge. And the hell of it is that most Americans seem barely aware of what’s taking place under their feet.

Likewise, the FBI has everything — absolutely everything! to expose overnight the lie of the preposterous Official 9/11 “narrative”.

Whatever hit the Pentagon was videotaped from all angles by security cams, and that visual record would demolish the ridiculous story of an aluminum tube punching a clean hole through the Pentagon’s massively reinforced exterior.

Showing the rocket hitting the Pentagon (at the precise point to take out budget analysts tracking “lost” trillions of dollars) would slap even the stupidest awake. Alas, every tape available was immediately confiscated by the FBI and remains concealed. But can’t we — and shouldn’t we — assume that within the FBI some have enough strength of character to discern the rot in an FBI leadership that would make the agency such a weapon against the public? These are only two examples, but research into the actions and connections of just about any federal agency is certain to yield questions wanting answers that, like the FBI videos mentioned, are kept hidden.

Tyrannical elements of government persist when their evil projects are not exposed by staff who should be letting us see them. Taking a position in a governmental agency in no way requires obedient support regardless of whatever corrupt project a traitorous leadership for the moment might have in the works. Public servants, regardless of where situated in any agency’s pecking order, are not obliged to shift allegiance to anything other than the public. In the end, for every governmental employee the group to be served is The People in the most expansive sense.

Revealing criminal acts of state carries risk. A recent example is of four chemists who struggled with the demands of their EPA superiors for data manipulation posing an obvious threat to public health. Despite the atmosphere of intimidation (The EPA drips with internal rot), ethics demanded that they expose the situation to The Intercept, and this brief report is a quick lesson in regulatory agency-industry collusion and in the kind of pressures staff throughout governmental agencies face in this era in which corruption almost seems to have become “normalized”.

Sibel Edmonds was fired by the FBI for revealing agency security failures.

The legendary Daniel Ellsberg, whose leaking of the Pentagon Papers led to charges that could have landed him in prison for more than a century.

All charges were ultimately dropped due to — wait for it — exposure of governmental misconduct.

Edward Snowden revealed mind-numbing details of NSA surveillance of

Here, he reveals the motives of a whistleblower who would risk all. Whistleblowers such as these are driven by a personal integrity that, in seeing serious corruption, just cannot let it pass. Scroll, up from the bottom here for a glimpse of whistleblowers who revealed information we all should have, more often than not at personal risk. Note that the powers seeking to hide their crimes are nearly always governmental agencies and immense corporations.

When you understand what whistleblowers face in organizations that have many ways of making life hell, you see that such courageous people deserve all of the admiration we can muster.

But the dribble of evil secrets needs to become a deluge. There’s growing awareness that ’something is wrong’ nearly everywhere you look in a government become gigantic and tyrannical. Given the several million public servants/fellow citizens populating this behemoth, there are certainly many who should be bringing secrecy-shrouded information into the open.

Whistleblowers are our heroes, even if we never learn their names. We need a lot more of them.

Postscript:

A University of Alaska Institute of Engineering project has shown that the explanation for the collapse of Building 7 on 9/11/2001 by the National Institute of Standards and Technology is physically impossible and therefore a bare-faced lie. Because of this, Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth has sued NIST. But the US District of Columbia Court of Appeals recently ruled that A&E has no standing, the Court’s reason being that there is nothing in the law requiring agency reports to be accurate or scientifically sound.

Israeli Official Admits Not Even Trying to Get American Hostages Released

November 23rd, 2023 by Ben Bartee

The Israeli state and Hamas appear to have reached a tentative hostage exchange deal.

Via NBC News:

“Israel and Hamas have agreed to a breakthrough deal to release 50 women and children who were kidnapped and held in Gaza, a potential landmark deal that will also involve a four-day pause in fighting, the delivery of hundreds of aid trucks, and the release of 150 Palestinian women and children* held in Israeli jails.”

*Note that when Israeli civilians are held in Gaza, they were “kidnapped” and are termed “hostages,” but when Israeli jails Palestinian women and children with no charges or judicial process of any kind, they do not receive the benefit of the same designation in Western corporate state media. That’s how subtle propaganda can get, and it’s easy to miss it if you’re not attuned to the pettiness with which these organizations play semantical games.

Curiously, though, Israel is not making any effort to get non-Israeli hostages released — only Israeli.

Via NBC News:

“Israel will not exchange Palestinian prisoners in exchange for non-Israeli hostages, a senior Israeli official who gave NBC News details on a tentative agreement with Hamas that is awaiting a vote from Israel’s government

According to the official, Israel is currently only negotiating for its citizens and that other countries will have to negotiate for their own terms with Hamas. Dual nationals, those who hold Israel citizenship along with another country, are included in Israel’s deals, the official said.”

So, the U.S. government hands Israel no-strings-attached billions of dollars every single year, to the tune of hundreds of billions in the aggregate, in exchange for zero effort to get American hostages freed when they’re captured within the territorial bounds of the Israeli state. When it is finally presented with one opportunity to repay in infinitesimally small part all of that generosity, it offers only its middle finger to its American patrons.

Not that anyone who understands the nature of the Israeli state would expect otherwise. Its no-American-hostage-rescue policy is even more understandable in the context of its current geopolitical position.

Israel’s strategic play here is obvious to anyone not blinded by its powerful propaganda network that extends, unfortunately, deep into American corporate state media.

In the immediate term, the continued captivity of hostages of all nationalities by Hamas serves Israel’s interests more than their release would. It serves as a valuable propaganda tool to gin up anger and provides an ongoing pretext to do whatever Israel likes in Gaza with impunity under the guise of pursuing the release of hostages. All international criticism is deflected with the call on Hamas to “release the hostages.” Were they released, justifying the Israeli government’s activities there (carpet-bombing) would become much more diplomatically tenuous.

(Of course, it’s unclear exactly how carpet-bombing Gaza could ever achieve the stated objective of returning the Israeli hostages unless they intend them to come back as corpses with limbs blown apart. Nonetheless, the Israeli propagandists have been beavering away trying to square that circle for many weeks now.)

Furthermore, the continued captivity of American hostages, in particular, serves to maintain (nearly unconditional) American government support for its Gaza campaign — a weighty, some might say Herculean, diplomatic feat, given that virtually the entire rest of the world has condemned Israel for what it’s done. And that Herculean effort is costing the U.S. government big time in terms of its global cache.

At this moment, the United States is Israel’s only geopolitical ally left that’s fully on board with the program.

Another reason Israel would like to draw out the military operation in Gaza as long as possible using whatever pretext it can is that it’s stalling for time to figure out what to do with all of the Gazans it would like to displace. A leaked “concept paper” from the Intelligence Ministry proposed expelling the Gazans into the Sinai Peninsula to live in tent cities, which did not go over well diplomatically, to say the least. More recently, it’s been pressuring America and Western Europe to take the Gazans off of their hands. So it needs some wriggle room to devise alternative solutions.

However, at the same time, the state is under immense, unprecedented internal pressure to be seen to be doing something concrete to secure the Israeli hostages aside from posturing in the media. Netanyahu and his allies were already in existential political trouble before October 7^th, and the threats to his and his ideologically expansionist base’s grip on power have only multiplied following the government’s clear de-prioritization of hostage release below annihilating Gaza, not to mention the “intelligence failure” of that day itself.

It turns out that waging war can be just as difficult politically on the international stage as it can on the domestic front, even in a country as usually united in its militarism as Israel.

So the Israeli state has been walking a political tightrope between maintaining its justification for its assault on Gaza while doing its best to appease the growing dissident faction within the state itself. This is why, I speculate, Israel is only doing a deal for 50 of its hostages; it buys them some political cover at home while maintaining the existence of many more hostages in Gaza and thus the theoretical justification for what it’s doing there, in addition to “eliminating Hamas” (a pipe dream impossible to achieve because Hamas is scattered across borders and because its bombing campaign is only generating more, and more hardened, recruits.

Thus the war must go on. And on. And on.

(Note: In the original version of this article, I stated that Israel jails Palestinian women and children on “no charges,” when, in fact, it jails Palestinian women on intentionally vague charges like “having contacts with hostile organisations” and then holds them and the babies they have while incarcerated indefinitely in pre-trial detention with no due process. I apologize for the error.)

Don’t Cry for Argentina — It Is Not Worthy of Your Tears

The Argentine runoff Presidential election has produced a result that those who still care for Argentina will regard as regrettable. But there will also be not a few level headed observers who will regard this outcome as somewhat suspicious.

The apparent winner is an oddball “Libertarian” politician, Javier Milei. Being an eccentric and a loose cannon, Milei is difficult to classify ideologically. He appears to be enthusiastic about cloning his deceased dogs, and he himself seems to be a cloned personification of a segment of the American Libertarian movement. It remains to be seen whether Milei will prove to be a consistent ideologue of the nebulous Libertarian doctrines he professes, in which case the Requiem for Argentina should begin to be composed without delay.

If, however, Milei has even one pragmatic bone in his body he will be obliged very soon after his inauguration in December to go into reverse gear or face the wrath of the public that he has deluded with his irresponsible messianic promises.

Even worse for himself, for his political buffoonery he may also be obliged to face punishment from Argentina’s still vibrant armed forces, which have a respectable record of intervening to rein in wayward civilian politicians, though not necessarily always displaying as well the skills required to straighten out the messes the former had left behind.

There is no doubt that Argentina is currently very deep in one of those imbroglios into which it cyclically descends. The solutions offered by the charlatan were wisely rejected by its citizens in the first round of the elections, restricting Milei to about 30% of the vote. But Milei’s runoff rhetoric must have been irresistibly persuasive. In the second round he went on to garner a remarkable 55% of the vote (prompting the reasonable question of whether the popular Dominion vote counting machines, after their stellar performance in 2020, may have ended up in Argentina).

One of Milei’s brilliant solutions, abolishing the Argentine peso and replacing it with the US dollar, may soon come to haunt the Argentine people. It would be interesting to hear Milei’s explanation of how doing away with the national currency, fragile as it may be yet always capable of recovery given the application of correct financial policies and under the control of the issuing government. How would replacing it with a declining foreign currency under the control of outside interests help remedy Argentina’s problems? Does Libertarian ideology allow for national sovereignty? Is Milei informed that not too long ago Ecuador discarded its national currency in favor of the dollar, but that for the Ecuadorean people the experiment on the whole resulted in more economic discomfort than benefit? Why should the outcome now be different in Argentina, and that at a time when the dollar is losing its reserve currency status and rapidly declining in value, far more so then when Ecuador was led down that primrose path?

Moreover, has Milei, who is reputed to be an economist, noticed a global financial trend which even the repentant Jeffrey Sachs has called by its correct name, “dedollarisation,” and has that conspicuous trend had any impact on his thinking and choice of cures for Argentina’s financial ills? There is scant evidence that it has or that the warnings of sober economic experts have influenced the formulation of the policies that Milei has proposed. At the end of the day, with their new junk currency in hand, Argentines may remember with nostalgia their present inflation of mere 143%. Just as probably, they may come to regard with wrath the Pied Piper many of them had voted for.

Nor does Milei appear to be aware of the other major collapse that is taking place in the contemporary world, that of the unipolar system to whose imperilled currency he wishes to tie his country’s fortunes, suggesting that, indeed, El Clarín may be his chief source of political information. Contrary to every postulate of prudence (and some would argue of common sense as well) Milei has announced that as President he intends to reverse Argentina’s membership in BRICS. Public commitment to this politically counterintuitive policy goal suggests that Milei may be more than just an eccentric Libertarian enthusiast and that in fact he may be a figure purposefully inserted into the global game to promote a much more serious and disruptive geopolitical agenda.

There are very few today who recall that Argentina has not always been the Sick Man of the Pampas and that over a hundred years ago in economic strength and attraction it rivalled the United States as the destination of choice for European immigrants. Its once brilliant prospects came to nought as a result of the combination of the corruption and foolishness of its elite and idiocy of its pampered populace.

Argentina’s decline and fall has mirrored in many ways the downfall of Ukraine, formerly one of the Soviet Union’s most progressive and prosperous republics. Argentina, like Ukraine, was thrown under the bus by its greedy elite, also acting from selfish motives of short-term material gain and also placing itself in a condition of voluntary subservience to foreign, in Argentina’s case mainly British, patrons and their dazzling culture. The bamboozled populace followed suit in its own ignorant way.

The tribulations of both countries, far from being the outcome of objective necessity, are the avoidable result of foolish choices made jointly by the ruling elite and their equally irresponsible subjects.

Whatever vote counting machines may have been used, Argentina apparently has made its choice and now it must bravely face the consequences of its own making. There is no particular reason to shed tears for it any more than there is to cry over the tragic fate of its suicidal mirror image in Eastern Europe.

The ability to experience gratitude to others is a fundamental feature of human cognition

Positive effects linked to gratitude include social, psychological and physical benefits, which increase the more you make gratitude a regular part of your daily routine

Gratitude has a positive effect on psychopathology, especially depression, adaptive personality characteristic, positive social relationships and physical health, including stress and sleep

Those who are grateful have even been found to have a better sense of the meaning of life by being able to perceive good family function and peer relationships

Two gratitude interventions that you can try in your daily life to promote gratitude include keeping a gratitude journal and expressing gratitude to others, such as by writing thank you notes

Gratitude is a simple practice that can have profound effects on your health and well-being. Its underpinnings are believed to be principles of cooperation that were pivotal in the development of human communication and social reciprocity, and the ability to experience gratitude to others is a fundamental feature of human cognition.¹

The positive effects linked to gratitude include social, psychological and physical benefits,² which increase the more you make gratitude a regular part of your daily routine.

“The limits to gratitude’s health benefits are really in how much you pay attention to feeling and practicing gratitude,” noted neuroscientist Glenn Fox, Ph.D., a gratitude expert at the University of Southern California. “It’s very similar to working out, in that the more you practice, the better you get. The more you practice, the easier it is to feel grateful when you need it.”³

How Gratitude Changes Your Brain

Gratitude has distinct neurobiological correlates, including in brain regions associated with interpersonal bonding and stress relief.⁴ When Fox and colleagues elicited gratitude in 23 female subjects, via stories of survivors of the Holocaust, “ratings of gratitude correlated with brain activity in the anterior cingulate cortex and medial prefrontal cortex,” which are associated with moral cognition, value judgment and theory of mind.⁵

Individual differences in proneness to gratitude are also linked to increased gray matter volume in the brain,⁶ and it’s possible that it elicits long-term changes in your psyche. Fox grew deeply interested in gratitude after his mother’s death from ovarian cancer. During her illness, he would send her studies on the benefits of gratitude in cancer patients, and she kept a gratitude journal in her last years.

In one example, 92 adults with advanced cancer engaged in mindful gratitude journaling or routine journaling. After seven days, those who kept a gratitude journal had significant improvements in measures of anxiety, depression and spiritual well-being, such that the researchers concluded “mindful gratitude journaling could positively affect the state of suffering, psychological distress and quality of life of patients with advanced cancer.”⁷

“Grateful people tend to recover faster from trauma and injury,” Fox told The Pulse. “They tend to have better and closer personal relationships and may even just have improved health overall.”⁸When he tried to find gratitude after losing his mother, what he experienced wasn’t a quick fix or an immediate route to happiness, but a way to make his grief more manageable in the moment.

As it turns out, grateful writing such as letters of gratitude is a positive psychological intervention that leads to longer term changes in mental health. Among 293 adults who sought out psychotherapy services, those who engaged in gratitude writing reported significantly better mental health after four and 12 weeks than people who did not writing or who wrote about their thoughts and feelings.⁹

Gratitude Boosts Health, Well-Being

Gratitude can be difficult to define, as it has elements of an emotion, a virtue and a behavior, all rolled into one. Robert Emmons, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, and an expert on gratitude, defines it as a two-step process.

As explained in “The Science of Gratitude,” a white paper by the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley, the two steps include “1) ‘recognizing that one has obtained a positive outcome’ and 2) ‘recognizing that there is an external source for this positive outcome.’”¹⁰

In this regard, the benefits of gratitude may be gleaned from the actions of other people or experienced in an internalized manner, such as when feeling gratitude about good fate or nature. In this way, gratitude is both a state and a trait.¹¹

As a state, it’s based on a person’s ability to be empathic and elicit grateful emotions that promote prosocial behavior. As a trait, gratitude describes the practice of being grateful, noticing the little things in life and appreciating the positive in the world and other people. Gratitude can be felt both from being helped by others and habitually focusing on the good in your life.

A study published in Clinical Psychology Review found that gratitude has a positive effect on psychopathology, especially depression, adaptive personality characteristic, positive social relationships and physical health, including stress and sleep. What’s more, they noted that “the benefits of gratitude to well-being may be causal.”¹²

Fox also explained, “Benefits associated with gratitude include better sleep, more exercise, reduced symptoms of physical pain, lower levels of inflammation, lower blood pressure and a host of other things we associate with better health,”¹³ including improved resilience.

It’s likely that gratitude leads to benefits via multiple mechanisms, not only by improving life satisfaction¹⁴ but also by contributing to an increase in healthy activities and a willingness to seek help for health problems.¹⁵ Those who are grateful have even been found to have a better sense of the meaning of life by being able to perceive good family function and peer relationships.¹⁶

Gratitude Could Help You Sleep Better, Be Less Materialistic

Gratitude is known to facilitate improvements in healthy eating¹⁷ and benefits depression by enhancing self-esteem and wellbeing.¹⁸ Further, people who are more grateful tend to be:¹⁹

Happier
Less materialistic
Less likely to suffer from burnout

A 2021 study comparing gratitude and optimism similarly found that both traits were associated with:²⁰

Lower heart rate and blood pressure
Better sleep quality
More exercise
Less stress
More positive expectations and reflections
Greater feelings of appreciation toward others

Feeling gracious can help you sleep better and longer, too, perhaps by improving your thoughts prior to sleep. “The relationship between gratitude and each of the sleep variables was mediated by more positive pre-sleep cognitions and less negative pre-sleep cognitions,” according to a study in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research.²¹

Those who scored higher on measures of gratitude had better sleep quality and sleep duration and less sleep latency (the amount of time it takes you to fall asleep) and daytime dysfunction. Among adolescents, the simple practice of keeping a gratitude journal significantly reduce materialism while reducing the negative effect of materialism on generosity.²²

Those who wrote down what they were grateful for donated 60% more of their earnings to charity, for instance. There’s good reason to teach children the importance of gratitude, too, as doing so can improve school performance and orient individuals toward a positive life approach.²³

Positive Gratitude Interventions

Fox likens gratitude to a muscle that must be trained — something that you can practice and become better at over time:²⁴

“I think that gratitude can be much more like a muscle, like a trained response or a skill that we can develop over time as we’ve learned to recognize abundance and gifts and things that we didn’t previously notice as being important. And that itself is its own skill that can be practiced and manifested over time.”

Rather than a magic bullet, Fox added, it’s the regular practice of being grateful that makes a difference: “You know, it’s like water cutting rock through a canyon,” he said. “It’s not done all at once, and it’s just steady practice is where you start to get things.”²⁵ Two “gratitude interventions” that you can try in your daily life to promote gratitude include keeping a gratitude journal and expressing gratitude.

With a gratitude journal, you write down lists of what you’re grateful for on a regular basis. The behavioral expression of gratitude involves expressing grateful feelings to others, such as by saying thank you or writing gratitude letters, which you then read to the recipients.²⁶

Music also holds the potential to be a gratifying and fulfilling force. Take a moment to appreciate this heartfelt song sent in by longtime subscriber, Frank Buono.

Showing gratitude to your partner is also a good way to boost your relationship. In a study of romantic partners, gratitude from interactions was linked to increased connection and satisfaction with the relationship, with researchers suggesting, “gratitude had uniquely predictive power in relationship promotion, perhaps acting as a booster shot for the relationship.”²⁷ Emmons also shared tips for living a more grateful life:²⁸

Remember hard times in your life, which remind you how much you have to be grateful for now. “[T]his contrast is fertile ground for gratefulness,” Emmons says.²⁹
Appreciate what it means to be human by tuning into and appreciating your sense of touch, sight, smell, taste and hearing.
Use visual reminders, including people, to trigger gratitude. This helps to combat “the two primary obstacles to gratefulness,” which Emmons cites as “forgetfulness and a lack of mindful awareness.”³⁰
Make an oath of gratitude. Simply vowing to be grateful can increase the likelihood that you’ll stick to the behavior, so write a note “vowing to count your blessings” and post it somewhere where you’ll see it often.

If you want to get started today, keep a notebook by your bedside and make a point to jot down one or two things you’re grateful for each night before bed, and express gratitude to others often, such as writing quick thank you notes to friends.

Eco-Camouflage and the Fossil Fuel Lobby: The War Against Wind Farms

November 23rd, 2023 by Dr. Binoy Kampmark

The fossil fuel lobby has had a busy year on the eco-camouflage front. Earlier this year, interest started to rumble and rage against the stranding of humpback whales on the east coast of the United States. Suddenly, opponents of wind turbine technology – and renewable technology more broadly – had identified an invaluable, if tenuous nexus: a link between whale mortality and offshore wind farms.

One true enthusiast for the proposition proved to be Donald Trump. Speaking at a rally in South Carolina in September, for example, the Republican presidential contender suggested that these “windmills” were driving whales “crazy”, inflicting death in such numbers that they were washing up on shore “on a weekly basis”.

Such technology is the subject of frenzied study, and it would be remiss not to mention that various environmental concerns have been raised. These are often specific to their intended locales. One need only consult recent work commissioned by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, an adjunct of the US Department of the Interior, to appreciate the complexity of the field. The report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine concerned the Nantucket Shoals region, an area of complex hydrodynamics and ecology. The authors acknowledged that large turbines of the size planned for the region had not, as yet, been built in US waters, and would therefore require extensive modelling on oceanographic effects, notably on zooplankton populations upon which whales feed.

Rob Deaville of the Zoological Society of London’s Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme also admits that disruptions to marine wildlife can take place in the construction phase of wind farms given the presence of percussive noise. Animals such as porpoises or dolphins “may move out of that area while you’re installing the wind farms, but then the longer-term picture: in some areas they may never come back, in some they may come back in larger numbers than before.”

Such concerned albeit cautious observation sits differently with claims of mass whale mortality that has become a hobby horse for opponents of renewable energy sources. But look behind these newly converted whale-loving types, and you are likely to find an avid fossil-fuel lobbyist, the cash-filled account of the commodities sector, or those advocating the merits of nuclear energy.

The issue has also made its way across the Pacific to Australia, that great bastion of fossil feud mania. In the state of New South Wales, residents of the Hunter and Illawarra regions woke up to posters making the claim about the harmful effects of wind turbine technology. A roadside billboard in Port Stephens, north of Newcastle, featured a beached whale with a background of wind turbines, sporting the words, “Stop Port Stephens Offshore Wind Farms”.

Fictional articles have also made similar claims. One, in particular, purports to have been published in the academic journal Marine Policy, asserting that offshore wind farms in the Illawarra and Hunter would result in an annual whale death toll of 400. The journal’s disconcerted editor-in-chief, Quentin Hanich, could find no evidence of the phantom study with its alleged origins in the University of Tasmania, which had been shared on a Facebook group No Offshore Wind Farm for the Illawarra.

“We never received this imaginary paper … I am seeing no evidence that the study ever took place.”

None of this seems to trouble members of the Liberal National Coalition. The federal opposition leader, Peter Dutton, has claimed, somewhat erroneously, that there had been “no environmental consideration of what these huge wind turbines, 260 to 280 metres out of the water, will mean.”

Another example of a fossil fuel parliamentarian turned green populist is Queensland Nationals Senator, Matt Canavan, who recently admitted that he had a soft spot for these cetacean casualties. But then again, he also claims to have a fondness for all of Mother Nature’s glories, now facing the scourge of wind farm technology. As he told Sky News, that favourite network for scratching populists and reactionaries,

“massive amounts of wind farms, and solar panels which take up enormous amounts of land […] destroy koala habitat [and have] a massive impact on our environment … we destroy the environment to try and save it.”

The same senator has been a spoiler of any net zero emissions policy regarding greenhouse gases, much to the consternation of many members of his own party, and could barely conceal his delight at the wording of the 2021 Glasgow Climate Change communique that countries “phase down” rather than “phase out” coal burning. For Canavan, this meant that COP26 had given the “green light” for Australia to keep digging and “supply the world with more coal because that’s what brings people out of poverty.”

This burst of anti-wind farm criticism ignored the inconvenient fact that almost all the humpback whale strandings the subject of concern showed signs of vessel strike. In February 2023, the Marine Mammal Commission released a statement confirming the view that “there is no evidence to link these strandings to offshore wind energy development”.

This month, Greenpeace published a piece stating that “offshore wind farms aren’t killing whales.” While admitting the answer is a nuanced one, it concluded that “building offshore wind is way, way better for ocean wildlife than fossil fuels, especially offshore gas and oil.” No single peer-reviewed study, Greenpeace went on to note, has found that offshore wind farms are responsible for whale mortality.

The greatest threat to various whale populations lies in fishing, ship strikes, and oceanic disruptions arising from climate change. As, it would seem, those figures in eco-camouflage such as Dutton and Canavan, who continue to coddle fossil fuel companies intent on seismic blasting and offshore drilling.

Pretexts and False Flags? Towards a Broader Middle East War? Yemeni Navy Seizes Israeli-linked Vessel

United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken among other high level White House officials have repeatedly stated since October 7 that one of their major objectives is to prevent the regionalization of the upsurge of resistance to the State of Israel in Gaza.

However, it is Washington which has laid the groundwork for an already broad area of conflict throughout West Asia from the Eastern Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf.

In the specific case of Yemen, the Pentagon under successive administrations have engaged in occupations, bombing operations and proxy wars. Between 2015 and 2022, the U.S. backing Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), coordinated a genocidal war against the people of Yemen resulting in one of the worst humanitarian crises on a global scale.

With the rapid growth of the political influence of the Ansar Allah resistance movement within Yemen, the U.S. has targeted the organization claiming it is a surrogate of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Tehran has denied that any of the affiliates of the Axis of Resistance follow the orders of their government, noting only that they support these organizations politically since all have the same objectives of ridding the region of U.S. imperialism and Zionism.

Yemeni resistance forces have pledged to carry out military operations against the State of Israel in solidarity with the efforts of Hamas and other organizations fighting the occupation. The Ansar Allah describes the situation in Gaza as “ethnic cleansing.” This can easily be deduced from the language of the Israeli state which says its purpose in the Gaza war is to eliminate the Hamas organization which is the dominant political grouping in the Strip.

Since October 7, there has been another round of consistent blanket bombings focusing on residential areas, infrastructure, food and water supplies, schools, refugee camps and hospitals. Official statistics released from the Gaza Health Ministry indicate that over 14,000 people have been killed in less than two months. Most of those massacred are children and women. Many people have been bombed by the Israeli Air Force (IAF) while in their homes, churches, mosques and hospitals.

IDF and Israeli government spokespersons are given free reign within the western corporate and government-controlled media where lies are spread daily which apportions blame for the current situation on the resistance forces. Perhaps the most outrageous falsehoods center around the purported utilization of hospitals as military command posts for Hamas.

Yemen Heightens Efforts to End Imperialist Influence

Therefore, in Yemen and other countries in the region, resistance forces have expressed their solidarity with the people of Gaza in various ways. Mass demonstrations are occurring on a regular basis while military actions against Tel Aviv and the U.S. are escalating.

On November 19, Yemeni Naval Forces seized the Galaxy Leader vessel saying that such ships with Israeli owners will continue to be targeted until the military actions against the Palestinians cease. The capture of this ship coincided with numerous missile-launches against Israel by the Yemeni resistance forces.

🇾🇪 #Yemen: Houthi forces have released new footage showing the hijacking of the “Galaxy Leader”, a cargo ship seized by the group yesterday on account of its affiliation with an Israeli corporation. The ship’s 25 crewmen have been taken hostage, with the ship currently located in… pic.twitter.com/Gx40N5aPvn

— POPULAR FRONT (@PopularFront_) November 20, 2023

In a report by the Naval Technology website, it says regarding the ship seizure by Yemeni resistance forces that:

“’The Yemeni armed forces deal with the ship’s crew in accordance with the principle and values of our Islamic religion,’ Houthi spokesperson Yahya Sare’e said in a statement on X (formerly Twitter). The exact whereabouts of the Galaxy Leader are unknown. It was believed to be en route from Turkey to India…. In footage of the hijacking released by the Houthis yesterday (20 November), armed Houthi fighters jumped aboard the moving Galaxy Leader ship from a helicopter. The 25 crew members were held at gunpoint as Palestinian and Yemeni flags were raised…. Sare’e added that the Houthis will continue to target ships operated or owned by Israeli companies. The Houthis claimed the hijacking was ‘in solidarity with Palestinian people in the wake of the brutal Israeli aggression on Gaza’. The Japanese Government yesterday (20 November) confirmed that the captured ship is operated by Tokyo-headquartered Nippon Yusen. Japan has said it is appealing to the Houthis while calling on authorities in Saudi Arabia, Oman and Iran for assistance in releasing the vessel and its crew. Two ships connected with Nippon Yusen have since diverted their routes in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, according to Reuters.”

The seizure of vessels in the Red Sea places greater pressure on the U.S. to escalate its interventionist policies designed to preserve influence in this geopolitical region. A recent analytical review published in Al Jazeera suggests that other states such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates would not want to confront the Yemeni resistance since there is a truce between Sana’a and Riyadh. The normalization of relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a reproachment brokered by the People’s Republic of China during 2022, has curtailed the capacity of Washington to manipulate its longtime alliances with the conservative Gulf states.

Al Jazeera says of the present situation:

“Since October 7, the U.S. has deployed many assets to the Middle East, centered around two carrier strike groups (CSGs). The one in the Mediterranean, the CSG 12, is led by the newest and most modern nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R Ford. The CSG 2, currently in the Gulf of Oman, is fronted by the USS Dwight D Eisenhower. Each aircraft carrier is accompanied by a guided missile cruiser, two or three destroyers and a flotilla of auxiliaries, such as tankers, store ships and mobile repair bases. Each of the two CSGs has a clearly defined task: The CSG 12 is to monitor the wider area of Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq and act against any threats that could escalate the conflict. The CSG 2 is there to watch Iran and act against it if the situation escalates.”

This large-scale military presence by the Pentagon represents a danger to the people within the region since Washington is the closest ally to Tel Aviv. Unless tensions are lessened at the aegis of the U.S., a wider military conflict appears to be unavoidable.

Pentagon Escalates Bombing of Iraq and Syria While Border Clashes Continue Between Lebanese Resistance and IDF

There have been dozens of attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria since the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Storm against the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on October 7. In response, the U.S. Air Force has struck bases which they claim are connected with Iran.

On November 22, there was another U.S. bombing of a base of the Kataib Hezbollah resistance organization of Iraq. The town of Jurf al-Sakhar suffered the most damage where 8 people were killed.

An article published in The Cradle emphasized:

“The Iraqi resistance announced on 21 November it had targeted the Ain al-Assad base in Iraq twice, as well as the Al-Shaddadi base in Hasakah, northeastern Syria. The bases were struck ‘with appropriate weapons,’ which ‘directly hit’ all their targets. The Ain al-Assad base was hit with close-range ballistic missiles, resulting in eight injuries and material damage, according to two U.S. officials. U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria have come under almost daily fire by the Islamic Resistance of Iraq, a coalition of Iraqi resistance factions that banded together last month to confront U.S. forces in rejection of Washington’s support for Israel. The attacks are launched ‘in response to the crimes committed by the enemy against our people in Gaza.’ ‘U.S. forces have been attacked approximately 66 times since October 17. Thirty-two separate times in Iraq, and 34 separate times in Syria,’ the Pentagon announced on Tuesday evening. At least 60 U.S. soldiers have suffered traumatic brain injuries and other injuries.”

In southern Lebanon where the Hezbollah resistance movement has engaged in cross-border fighting with the IDF, there has been a sharp escalation in property damage and deaths. On November 21, two reporters from the Al Mayadeen news agency were killed in targeted attacks by the IDF.

These journalists, Farah Omar and Rabih Me’mari, were mourned by their parents and the staff of Al Mayadeen. This media organization has been banned by the Israeli state from covering events in the West Bank.

On the following day of November 22, five Hezbollah party members were murdered in attacks by the IDF. A statement from the resistance movement said the five martyrs killed were: Abbas Raad, Ahmad Mustafa, Mohammad Hassan Sherri, Bassam Kanjo, and Khalil Shhimi. See this.

Since October 7, thousands of Israeli settlers have been evacuated from the northern region due to clashes between Hezbollah and the IDF. In addition to the tensions on the Lebanon-Israel border, activists are being targeted in the West Bank by the Israeli security forces where dozens have been killed.

Despite the claims by the administration of President Joe Biden of its desire to contain the war, the actual developments on the ground are moving swiftly in the direction of expansion. As the IDF continues its targeting of civilians and public institutions such as healthcare facilities in Gaza, Hamas and the Palestine Islamic Jihad have been regularly issuing videos of their operations against the IDF. See this.

Campaigns in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle must continue their demonstrations aimed at breaking all economic, military and political ties with the settler-colonial state. Until the Palestinian question is satisfactorily resolved there will be no peace and security in the region.

On October 28th, the DSMA’s chief wrote to editors of major British news outlets, demanding they not report or in any way mention the SAS is currently “deployed to sensitive areas” of West Asia.

It has been revealed Britain’s shadowy Defence and Security Media Advisory (DSMA) Committee is suppressing news reportage on clandestine Special Air Service (SAS) operations in Gaza. The eagerness of London’s military, security and intelligence apparatus to censor such disclosures is an unambiguous indicator Perfidious Albion is doing the devil’s work in the embattled Occupied Territories, and wants inconvenient, incriminating truths concealed.

The DSMA is a little-known, rarely discussed and highly secretive body. Comprised of senior representatives of the British Army, Ministry of Defence, domestic and foreign spying agencies, major government departments, press associations and TV and print outlets, it has for decades insidiously imposed a quintessentially British form of press censorship. The Committee decides the subjects and events related to national security that can be reported on, and how, with devastating effect.

On October 28th, the DSMA’s chief wrote to editors of major British news outlets, demanding they not report or in any way mention the SAS is currently “deployed to sensitive areas” of West Asia, conducting “hostage rescue/evacuation operations” of Britons caught up in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, and Israeli genocidal counterattack. The Committee claimed such journalistic activity “could reveal details of operations or operating methods and techniques…which would bestow an advantage on an adversary,” and thus “endanger national security”:

“May I take this opportunity to remind editors publication of such information contravenes the DSMA notice code. I therefore advise claims of such deployments should not be published nor broadcast without first seeking [DSMA] advice. [The Committee] aims to prevent inadvertent disclosure of classified information about Special Forces and other units engaged in security, intelligence and counter-terrorist operations [in Gaza], including their methods, techniques and activities.”

Secret Intelligence Documents Show Global Reach of India’s Death Squads

The Indian government’s intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing, or RAW, has been planning assassinations targeting Sikh and Kashmiri activists living in foreign countries, according to secret Pakistani intelligence assessments leaked to The Intercept.

The intelligence documents identify a series of threats against people living in Pakistan from RAW, which Pakistani security officials believe is working in conjunction with local criminal and dissident networks to carry out assassinations and other attacks. According to the documents, RAW is targeting individuals and religious institutions alleged to support an armed insurgency in the disputed territory of Kashmir, as well as militant Sikh activists living in Pakistan and wanted by the Indian government.

The documents offer compelling substantiation for the sensational claim that India has been carrying out a transnational assassination program against its political enemies. The Canadian government first made headlines in September with the accusation that Indian intelligence agents orchestrated the assassination of Sikh Canadian activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil. Nijjar was gunned down outside a gurdwara — a Sikh temple — this summer in Surrey, British Columbia.

In October in Britain, the family of activist Avtar Singh Khanda called for an inquest into his sudden death, alleging that he had been poisoned by Indian intelligence agents following a series of public threats to his life. In September, The Intercept reported on threats to Sikh activists in the U.S. after the FBI warned a number of Sikh Americans about intelligence showing that their lives were in danger after the killing of Nijjar. In 2022, a 75-year-old Sikh Canadian man named Ripudaman Singh Malik, who had been acquitted of involvement in a deadly bombing of an Air India flight in 1985, was shot to death in front of his family business in Canada under circumstances that remain unclear. Despite these accusations of involvement in international assassinations, which have caused increased friction in India’s foreign relations, so far little intelligence — Canadian, Pakistani, American, or otherwise — has been made publicly available about these killings.

According to a Pakistani intelligence assessment, this summer RAW was also targeting two Sikh activists in Pakistan for assassination in the cities of Lahore and Islamabad. One alleged target in Islamabad is unnamed, while another is Lakhbir Singh Rode, a prominent Sikh separatist leader living in Pakistan since the 1990s who has long been accused of terrorism by India’s government. Rode was involved in a movement that aimed to create an independent nation in the region of Punjab known as Khalistan in the 1980s and ’90s. That campaign was crushed by a brutal counterinsurgency that claimed the lives of thousands of Sikhs, while forcing many more into exile.

Rode’s son, a Canadian citizen named Bhagat Singh, is, like his father, prominent in the diaspora movement for Sikh separatism. He told The Intercept that his father has long been living under threat from Indian intelligence.

“It is a well-known fact that he has been on the Indian government’s hit list for years,” Singh said, adding that he was also warned by Canadian intelligence about threats to his own life following the assassination of Nijjar this summer, which he presumes are from Indian intelligence.

“When [Nijjar] was killed, the response from many of us to our governments was, ‘We told you so,’” added Singh, referring to the community of diaspora Sikh activists. “But there is also a lot of anger that a foreign government could simply come here and murder a Canadian citizen.”

The Pakistani, Indian, and Canadian embassies did not provide comment for this story. The pace of suspected attacks inside Pakistan against individuals wanted by India appears to have accelerated in recent weeks. On November 13, India media reported the killing of another militant connected to an Islamist group in Karachi. The possible assassination followed the killings of two other Islamist militants wanted by India that had taken place recently in Pakistan’s tribal regions and the disputed territory of Kashmir. While covered in great detail by the Indian press, these killings have gone almost unmentioned in Pakistan, where local media and civil society are under de facto military control following the removal of former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The lack of attention to the suspected assassinations of both political dissidents and militants has prompted calls for more pressure on India from some members of its diaspora.

“Anyone who speaks out against the Indian government anywhere in the world is under threat,” said Singh.

The secret documents, which were produced by Pakistan’s Intelligence Bureau, a civilian-controlled security agency somewhat akin to the FBI, show serious concern that Indian intelligence will carry out more killings on its soil in the future.

In May, the Pakistan Intelligence Bureau warned that Indian intelligence agents based in two other countries, the United Arab Emirates and Afghanistan, are being activated to carry out operations in Pakistan, suggesting that Indian operatives have a footprint throughout the region. In September, an Intelligence Bureau document again warned that the Indian government’s intelligence agency was planning “terrorist attacks” and assassinations against targets inside Pakistan: RAW agents were operating from a militant training camp in the Afghan city of Spin Boldak, it said, “to target wanted / prominent Sikh personalities in Pakistan.”

The documents are marked “Not to be disclosed/Communicated to any unauthorized person,” and The Intercept is not publishing them in full in order to protect the source who provided them. The documents specifically name threats to militants involved in the Kashmiri and Sikh separatist causes, as well as conservative Islamic movements in Pakistan. One document states that,

“it has been learnt through reliable sources that hostile intelligence agency (RAW) with the collaboration of sub-nationalist groups / anti-state activists and local criminal networks is already planning to carry out terrorist attacks on the marakiz / masjid / religious seminaries / leaders / notables of Ahl-e-Hadith sect linked with organizations remained active in the Kashmir Jihad.”

Inside Pakistan, a spate of assassinations and other attacks in recent years targeted people alleged to be involved in Sikh and Kashmiri separatism as well as Islamist militancy inside India. This October, the Pakistani government arrested people it says were involved in targeted killings of suspected militants inside Pakistan. The killings were attributed in public statements to a “hostile spy agency,” a common reference to Indian intelligence in Pakistani official communications. This summer, a former commando in Pakistan’s elite Rangers paramilitary unit was also arrested on accusations of running a network carrying out assassinations of accused militants on behalf of RAW.

“The general perception in the West is that India can do no wrong and that when Pakistan accuses India of doing these types of things, they’re just being paranoid. But that is not borne out by history,” said Arif Rafiq, a scholar at the Middle East Institute and specialist on Pakistan. “Usually, the truth of these things are only fully known decades later, but India has a long history of these types of actions. When you piece it all together, it seems clear that there is a campaign today by India’s government to take an offensive strategy against these groups.”

The Pakistani government has periodically accused RAW of involvement in bombings and targeted killings inside Pakistan, including attacks against Chinese nationals working in the country and bombings targeting militant leaders wanted by India. These attacks have often been claimed publicly by separatist or extremist groups at war with the Pakistani state, including in the restive provinces of Balochistan and Sindh, that Pakistan accuses of being supported by India. The Indian government, for its part, has denied involvement in these operations or patronage of Pakistan-based militant groups, while accusing Pakistan of supporting Sikh and Kashmiri militants who have fought against it in the past.

This March, the Atlantic Council, an American think tank, published an anonymous article titled, “Who is Behind the Killings of Kashmiri Militants in Pakistan?” The article pointed to the recent killings of several former Kashmiri insurgents living in Pakistan whom the author claimed had been murdered by Indian intelligence in attacks that were left unsolved, attributed to Pakistan-based separatist groups, or deemed by the police to have been robberies gone wrong. Many of the killings targeted people who had been involved in fighting during the peak of the 1990s-era insurgency in Kashmir, but had later settled down to live and work inside Pakistan.

The article warned that the killings by Indian intelligence may torpedo attempts at rapprochement between India and Pakistan by inviting reprisals from militant groups themselves, stating,

“While militant groups that have operated in Kashmir are not as strong as they used to be, they still possess significant capabilities to strike back. The assassination of their former comrades, whether perceived or real, may trigger an angry response, thus endangering peace and stability in the region.”

The article also cited a former militant criticizing Pakistan’s military establishment for turning a blind eye to the killing of ex-militants on its soil as the Kashmir dispute has lost priority in Pakistan’s foreign policy.

The anonymously authored article was subsequently pulled from the Atlantic Council website. The article was replaced with a note stating it had been removed “because it did not go through the Atlantic Council’s standard editorial process prior to publication.”

Rode, the individual named as a target in Pakistani intelligence documents, is the nephew of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, the Sikh militant leader of the 1980s separatist insurrection. That family connection has kept him on the radar of Indian authorities, who announced the confiscation of land belonging to Rode in India this fall amid a broader crackdown on diaspora Sikh dissidents and their families.

Rode, who is living in Lahore, was described in a Pakistani intelligence document as having already been surveilled by Indian intelligence agents at a housing complex and gurdwara in the city. Information about his place of residence and the gurdwara that he frequents are included in the report, which suggests that he and another Sikh activist are at imminent risk from Indian agents or locals acting under Indian instruction. The documents warn Pakistani officials to use “heightened vigilance” and “foolproof security measures” to guard them.

According to family members, threats to Rode have increased in recent years, forcing him to go deeper into seclusion. His son, Bhagat Singh, says that surveillance photographs of his father’s car and residence had previously been sent to Pakistani authorities by Indian intelligence, as part of a demand by India to Pakistan to turn him over.

Singh said that he himself had been placed on Canada’s no-fly list after the Indian government accused him of involvement in planning terrorist attacks in India. Singh, who is seeking legal means to remove himself from the list, strongly rejects these accusations, saying that they are part of an international campaign by the Indian government to silence dissidents in its diaspora.

“The Sikh diaspora holds protests and lobbies Western governments to speak up against the Indian government, and it is for this that we are being targeted,” Singh said. “They don’t have to prove anything in court when they make these accusations. They simply label anyone as a terrorist who fights for their rights or says that they don’t want to live under their rule anymore after what has been done to them.”

Though the Khalistan movement has been mostly suppressed in Indian Punjab, supporters have continued to rally for the cause in the diaspora, including from Pakistan and Western countries. As a result of recent protests in Western countries, some of which have resulted in vandalism and threats to Indian consular staff, the Indian government has angrily accused foreign states of nurturing the Khalistan movement in exile. Many Sikhs themselves reject what they say is an attempt by the Indian government to extend its political authority over them even as they live and gain citizenship in foreign countries.

“The diaspora is an extension of people from Punjab,” said Harinder Singh, senior fellow at the Sikh-related public education organization the Sikh Research Institute. “When dissent is being crushed, even at the level of using extrajudicial killings inside Punjab, the people who manage to escape will of course find ways to talk about these issues from abroad.”

In addition to high-profile suspected murders in Western countries, recent years have also seen at least two killings of supporters of the Khalistan movement in Pakistan. In May, Paramjit Singh Panjwar, the leader of a Pakistan-based Sikh militant organization was shot to death by an assailant on a motorcycle while out for a walk near his home in Lahore. His killing came two years after the murder of another Sikh activist in Pakistan named Harmeet Singh, who was also shot to death in Lahore near the same gurdwara frequented by Rode.

“India has been carrying out activities like this in South Asia for years. The only difference is that today they have been discovered doing it in a Western democracy,” said Harinder Singh. “Despite many hypocrisies among Western democracies, one thing that they still do take very seriously is a foreign power taking the lives of their own citizens.”

Following the assassination of Nijjar in Canada this summer, Pakistan again publicly alleged that India was running a “network of extra-territorial killings” that had now gone global. The Indian government has responded angrily to accusations from Canada and other Five Eyes countries that it is running a transnational assassination program.

But as more details on the scope and nature of its operations come to light, the crisis over the killing of Nijjar, and potentially other Sikh dissidents, seems unlikely to disappear. The targeting of Rode and other Sikhs in foreign countries suggest that India is taking a more aggressive stance in targeting perceived enemies across borders, including through violent means.

“These killings show that India feels emboldened and that it has the geopolitical space to take these kinds of risks. There has never been an instance where it has been held to account for its excesses,” said Middle East Institute’s Rafiq. “Frankly, nobody would care if they were only killing people in Pakistan. It’s only until something happens on the other side of the world that people start paying attention.”

Hackers Expose Personal Data of Foreign Legion of Ukrainian Army

The Telegram social media network channel Joker DPR, known for previously hacking the Instagram page of commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii Zaluzhny and accessing the Ukrainian military software DELTA, published the names and personal information of more than 500 applicants for the 4th Battalion of the Foreign Legion of the Ukrainian Army.

Joker DPR also found and published the passports of more than 50 mercenaries, including male and female US citizens and those connected to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence office in Ternopil, western Ukraine, something which has embarrassed Washington and shows that mercenaries are extremely vulnerable.

The Ukrainian Foreign Legion claims to comprise around 20,000 foreign people with military experience and knowledge. Kiev even opened a website for foreign fighters at the beginning of the conflict to help recruit. However, a year later, it was exposed that the Foreign Legion actually has 1,500 members, a far cry from the figures initially announced. It also turned out that many foreigners lacked military experience and knowledge.

According to German media, recruits for the International Ukrainian Legion are paid around 500 euros per month, and those fighting on the front lines reportedly receive a salary of 3,000 euros per month. Still, there were reports that foreigners had to buy weapons and equipment at a high price as Kiev did not provide these necessities.

“Give us some f*****g weapons please. We will not win with trash weapons,” James Vasquez, a US army veteran who volunteered in Ukraine, wrote on X (formerly Twitter) in April 2022. “We need m-16’s, M-4’s, ACOG’s, red dots, ammunition, ammunition, ammunition, javelins, f*****g old AT-4s I know are probably in some storage unit. Frag grenades, and if not… may as well bring Body bags.”

The ex-US Army staff sergeant shared a video revealing he had modified his own AK-47 out of his own pocket, complaining that he was expected to “go into battle with just my drones, AK-47 and one grenade and nothing else.”

Former Legion mercenaries also complained about corruption in the Ukrainian military ranks and problems with the payment of salaries. Western media has also cited problems in raising funds to arm Ukrainian foreign fighters, waste of money, and mysteriously missing shipments.

Now, it was revealed that many mercenaries who came to Ukraine are leaving the country after witnessing violent fighting, US media reported, citing Ukrainian Armed Forces officer Dmytro Kostyuk.

Explaining how his platoon had manpower shortages and had to be supplemented with mercenaries, Kostyuk admitted to CNN on November 19 that

“For some [foreigners], it was the romance of war, for others it was a professional activity […] As a rule, they do not realise what they are getting into […] Foreigners are a different story, because they can easily terminate a contract, unlike Ukrainians. It happened to me – almost half of the people saw everything and said, ‘No, no, this is too much. This is not the kind of war we signed up for’.”

The Russian Defence Ministry has repeatedly stated that Kiev is using foreign mercenaries as “cannon fodder,” while the Russian military will continue to eliminate them throughout Ukraine. Those who came to fight for their own money have admitted in many interviews that the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not coordinate their actions well and that the possibility of surviving the combat is slim since the intensity of the conflict is not comparable to that of Afghanistan and the Middle East, to which they are accustomed.

However, not only Moscow has described the foreign mercenaries as “cannon fodder.” It is recalled that the Australian government warned on March 15 that foreigners fighting in Ukraine could end up being “cannon fodder,” which matches what British volunteer Matthew Robinson previously said:

“[foreigners] can be railroaded into a legion and sent to the front line very quickly. Even though you’ve got the best of intentions to help people, you could basically be cannon fodder.”

Issues within the ranks of foreign fighters have been reported on since the very start of the war, as James Vasquez attests too, and with the two-year anniversary of the war only two months away, the latest revelation on CNN demonstrates that these issues experienced at the beginning of the war are far from being overcome, especially as Russia’s attacks intensify. With this winter expected to be especially difficult, it can be anticipated that foreigners will continue losing morale and a willingness to fight Russia for the sake of Ukraine, and the threat of having their private information publicly revealed could be enough to make them leave even sooner.

Argentina on the Brink of Collapse: “Anarcho-Capitalist” Javier Milei Is Part of the WEF Agenda

A new president was elected in Argentina this week. He is Javier Milei, a man from the financial sector with no political experience, who describes himself as an “anarcho-capitalist”.

Who is this man and what will he achieve?

Javier Milei is a 53-year-old economist who has worked at the major bank HSBC and in the past as an advisor to the Argentinian government. For 10 years he was chief economist at Corporación América International, an airport operator and one of the most important concessionaires of the Argentinian state – and a partner company of the World Economic Forum. The president of the company, billionaire and WEF contributor Eduardo Eurnakian, promoted Milei and brought him into politics – an interesting parallel to Ukrainian President Selenskyj and his patron, billionaire Kolomoisky. However, Eurnakian has distanced himself from his protégé since Milei’s derogatory comments about Pope Francis.

Like Selenskyj and his predecessor as Argentinian president, Alberto Fernandez, Milei is listed by the World Economic Forum as a contributor to its agenda. In fact, he has consistently represented the positions of the WEF in the recent past. Although initially against vaccination, he has argued for mandatory vaccination during the coronavirus crisis, is firmly on the side of the Zelensky regime in the Ukraine war and stands shoulder to shoulder with the IDF and Benjamin Netanyahu in the Israel war.

The election campaign that brought Milei to power took place at a time of extremely difficult social and economic conditions for the Argentinian people. 50% of Argentinians are dependent on state payments and 40% live below the poverty line. Until the 1950s, Argentina was the richest country in South America, with a standard of living comparable to that in Europe.

The fact that things have gone downhill since then is mainly due to the fact that the country has become increasingly indebted and has therefore become more and more dependent on the International Monetary Fund IMF. To date, Argentina has received more than 20 loans from the IMF, including the largest loan ever granted by the IMF of 57 billion dollars in 2018. The country is currently in debt to the IMF to the tune of 44 billion dollars. Of course, the IMF loans are not available without clear instructions from the US-controlled financial institution. All loans are tied to so-called structural adjustment programs, which reduce the standard of living of the majority of the population through strict austerity policies.

Milei has now announced that he intends to take this austerity policy to a whole new level by completely slashing the social sector. In other words, he wants to proceed like the Greek government during the euro crisis. Pensions will fall, the healthcare and education systems will face drastic cuts and energy prices will certainly be raised – all for the benefit of the IMF.

By dismantling the central bank, Milei will certainly not take the country one step forward, as the replacement of the peso and the introduction of the US dollar will not free Argentina but will make it 100 percent subject to the US central bank, the Federal Reserve, and its monetary policy, turning Argentina into a colony of the United States.

The fact that Milei was mainly elected by poor young Argentinians is revealing. On the one hand, this shows that the social media and the financiers behind them obviously gave him a lot of support, but on the other hand it also shows the social desperation of many people who were left with only the choice between plague and cholera in this election.

In any case, one thing is certain: as president, Milei will pursue the agenda of the digital-financial complex from day one, submit to the Fed, which is now dependent on BlackRock, and launch the toughest and harshest austerity program in South American history to date. However, this will put him in direct confrontation with the majority of the Argentinian population. The disillusionment that we will soon experience will be extremely great – and will certainly lead to enormous social upheaval in the country.

The Climate Change Mental Asylum – CO2 Fanatics Suffering from Ideological Insanity

November 23rd, 2023 by Mark Keenan

All Global Research articles can be read in 51 languages by activating the Translate Website button below the author’s name.

In a previous article I initially published in February 2023 titled ‘1500 scientists say ‘Climate Change Not Due to Co2’ – The real environment movement was hijacked,’ I provided evidences and testimonies from renowned international climate scientists that contradict the UN assertion that climate change is caused by CO₂ emissions.

I also referred to the conclusion of 1500 climate scientists and climate professionals at the Climate Intelligence Foundation that the climate changes naturally and slowly in its own cycle, and that solar activity is the dominant factor in climate; and that CO₂ emissions or methane from livestock, such as cows, are not the dominant factors in climate change. This is comprehensively detailed in the books Transcending the Climate Change Deception Toward Real Sustainability and in the book Climate CO2 Hoax.

This current globalised system involves the promotion of beliefs and fake science that claim to be unchallengeable truths, but are, in fact, ideologies in which evidence is manipulated, twisted, and distorted to prove the ‘governing idea’, and thus promote its worldwide dissemination. They start with the conclusion they want and then wrench and manipulate what scant evidence they can to fit that conclusion. Man-made climate change due to anthropogenic carbon emission is a major example of this.

Institutions, including the UN, the World Economic Forum (WEF), and the World Health Organisation (WHO), are privately-motivated unelected unaccountable organisations controlled by the source of debt-money creation, i.e., the world private-banking cartel; and are just clever marketing tools and political mechanisms for implementing and maintaining a corrupt worldwide system, under the clever guise of ‘fixing the problems of the world’.

The word “sustainable” was hijacked decades ago, and it is now deceptively used to advance the agendas of globalist mega-corporate interests who couldn’t care less about the environment. The aim is to catapult humanity into the arms of UN Agenda 2030 and other deceptive marketing plans entirely aligned with the objectives of the so-called elites of the WEF Davos group.

In this article I share some of my recent experiences in relation to the seemingly endless madness and delusion in relation to the UN climate / CO₂ reduction agenda. CO₂ reduction is the main focus of the UN-promoted climate-change-hysteria that has been rampant among the world’s population. Due to incessant UN, government, and corporate-promoted climate change propaganda, many people are, thus, in a media-induced state of confusion, and, thus, blindly assume their pre-determined role in society under this ‘dictatorship of words’ without even being aware of it. We now have millions of so-called climate change fanatics blind to the fact that climate change is not actually caused by carbon emissions, nor methane emissions from cows.

UN Agenda 2030 is not about real environmentalism it is all to scare people into accepting totalitarian authority and limitations to their freedom and personal wellbeing. To paraphrase George Carlin: “political correctness is totalitarianism pretending to be manners”.

The brainwashed climate fanatics are the climate police of social convention – a deluded unpaid self-righteous police force criticising all and sundry who are not keeping their carbon emissions to a minimum. These narcissists want to control the behaviour of others and have no problem with the slaughter of millions of methane-producing cows to ‘stop climate change’ – this not only deluded narcissism – it is insane. What did the gentle cow, traditionally regarded as a holy animal providing sustenance to mankind in the form of milk, do to deserve this mistreatment?

Please note that I have no commercial interest in stating that climate change is not caused by CO₂. In truth I am against ‘real’ pollution, and the reality is that the CO₂ component is not a pollutant. Note that the UN focus is on CO₂, but not on the thousands of real pollutants that corporate industrial globalisation creates.

Bona-fide climate science has been largely circumvented by decades of UN-promoted propaganda, and therefore, much of society seems to have descended into CO₂ reduction hysteria, whilst real environmental issues have become sidelined. In a lecture titled The imaginary climate crisis – how can we change the message? available on the Irish Climate Science Forum website[1], Professor Richard L Lindzen, Professor Emeritus of Atmospheric Sciences at MIT, summarised the battle against the climate hysteria as follows:

“in the long history of the earth there has been almost no correlation between climate and CO2… the paloeclimate record shows unambiguously that CO2 is not a control knob… the narrative is absurd… it gives governments the power to control the energy sector… for about 33 years, many of us have been battling against the climate hysteria…

Elites are always searching for ways to advertise their virtue and assert their authority. They believe they are entitled to view science as a source of authority rather than a process, and they try to appropriate science, suitably and incorrectly simplified, as the basis for their movement. Movements need goals, and these goals are generally embedded in legislation. The effect of legislation long outlasts the alleged science. As long as scientists are rewarded for doing so they are unlikely to oppose the exploitation of science…

the educated masses are aware of their scientific ignorance and this leaves them very insecure… they need simple narratives it allows them to believe that they actually do understand the science, and as we see today with climate it allows them to become ignorantly proud of their alleged accomplishment… Our task is to show the relevant people the people who make decisions for us, the political people, the overall stupidity of this issue… it is likely that we have to capitalise on the insecurity of the educated elite and make them look silly instead of superior and virtuous.” – Richard L Lindzen, Professor Emeritus of Atmospheric Sciences, MIT

Perhaps Professor Lindzen hit the nail on the head when he stated “we have to capitalise on the insecurity of the educated elite and make them look silly instead of superior and virtuous” to save society from descending into further climate madness.

Deluded CO₂ (Carbon) Emissions Activists

I can only relate my recent experiences of encountering deranged climate / CO₂ activists. Last winter I rented a wood cabin in a remote part of rural Ireland. It was owned by a very nice woman skilled in gardening and growing herbs, yet when I bought wood logs for the wood stove, this climate-conscious soul almost had a heart attack! She would not allow the burning of wood logs in the stove because of, you guessed it, climate change. This is not the first time I have encountered this bizarre condemnation of people burning wood logs. What can be done? These people may mean well, but are brainwashed. Wood is a renewable resource, but God forbid the climate warrior sees anyone burning wood in a stove to keep warm during winter – even in rural locations. Thinking about the CO₂(carbon) emissions this misled environmentalist almost spontaneously combusted into angry ashes.

A few weeks, whilst writing another book, I stayed temporarily in what is known in Ireland as ‘bed and breakfast’ accommodation. It was owned by a woman who turned out to be even more of a deluded soul / ‘CO₂ fanatic’. Certainly “waste not want not” is a traditional truism”, however after rabbiting on continually about CO₂ emissions and lambasting anyone wasting tiny amounts of electricity by not immediately turning off small devices, the hypocritical loonytune then proceeded to fly to Switzerland on a CO₂emitting plane, and, it turned out, had recently visited Australia. Such self-entitled hypocrisy seemingly occurs amongst some of the ‘climate warriors’ and deluded ‘green’ politicians, as they castigate the people of the world for their CO₂emissions, yet will jump aboard a CO₂emitting plane to fly to the latest climate conference and shriek some more nonsense like Greta Thunberg wannabee’s.

The CO₂fanatic upon returning from Switzerland discovered that I had neglected to turn off an internet router in the property whilst it was not in use. Connection was via ethernet cable with WIFI ‘off’ and it used a very small amount of electricity, yet this discovery caused this distressed soul to shriek at me that I was “an energy squanderer!”. Meanwhile, she heated her house with electricity (no wood stoves allowed) and drove around in an electric car that used a lot of electricity – ignorantly proud that she was ‘saving the planet from climate catastrophy’. What can be done? It should be known that electric cars are actually a “squanderous” or in-efficient use of energy as the conversion of fossils fuels to electricity involves a significant energy loss – the ‘well-to-tank’ energy efficiency has been estimated to be around 37%. If this person was driving a petrol or diesel car it would be a more energy-efficient means of transport. Not to mention the vast amounts of real pollution to land, air and water systems that does occur via the industrial mining and processing of rare earth metals for the production of millions of large batteries for electric cars!

Whilst I felt some compassion for this distressed soul who seemed to be living in a mental cul-de-sac, I realised it was pointless to try to convince this fanatic of her delusion or that she was a victim of corporate and political propaganda. It dawned on me that the poor woman was suffering from ‘climate insanity’ and wouldn’t know the difference between ‘real sustainability’ and the ‘UN brand of political sustainability’ if it hit her on the head with the weight of an electric car battery. The unfortunate reality is that few people have access to bone-fide information on the climate subject, or have the time or capacity for independent mathematical or scientific analysis. Most of the population appear to be just going along with what the government, the United Nations, and TV tells them to do. Here I also include persons working for so-called sustainability organisations and government agencies worldwide that are promoting the bogus narrative that CO₂ and methane emissions cause climate change, for example, the Sustainable Energy Association of Ireland.

What can be done? You can’t wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep and you can’t un- brainwash a brainwashed person simply by telling them they are wrong. This is the madness that we are now living through. Perhaps we need a new type of mental asylum – an asylum for the ‘climate deranged’ person with pictures of windmills on the walls to keep the patients calm. Okay – I’m joking of course, but it seems to be getting crazier out there.

Fake Environmentalists in Electric Cars – Suckers for Mega-corporate Advertising

The TV adverts contain smiling, good-looking people racing about in aerodynamic electric cars akin to dashing heroes saving the planet from imminent CO2-induced destruction. However, the people that have purchased these new electric cars with the misguided impression they are ‘saving the world’ have been fooled. They are unfortunate victims of emotive well-designed corporate marketing and deceptive political policies that are not actually environmentally friendly at all. For example, the manufacture of millions of electric car batteries, requires huge mining operations to acquire and refine large quantities of rare earth metals, such as lithium, rhodium and cobalt

Furthermore, these metals have to be mined out of the ground using machinery which is powered by carbon-emitting vehicles powered by diesel or petrol. More importantly, the mining and refining processes can cause significant and extensive pollution to land, air and water systems, for example in rural China and Mongolia[2]. Furthermore, these rare earth metals are a limited resource. Unlike the bogus CO₂/ carbon agenda, these are real environmental problems.

Furthermore, electric cars are still driven by electricity produced from fossil fuels and will most likely continue to be. Despite decades of government subsidies wind power provides less than 5% of the world’s energy, and solar just 1 %. The use of electricity to charge vehicles and devices is also an extremely in-efficient use of energy, according to a study by the European Association for Battery Electric Vehicles commissioned by the European Commission (EC):

“The ‘Well-to-Tank’ energy efficiency (from the primary energy source to the electrical plug), taking into account the energy consumed by the production and distribution of the electricity, is estimated at around 37%.“

Given the well-to-tank efficiency and as electricity is mostly produced from fossil fuels, the electric car may actually be guzzling more fossil fuel than a traditional diesel or petrol car! Therefore, those persons buying electric cars in the belief they are saving the planet are unfortunate victims of mega-corporate advertising, corporate-owned media, corporate greenwash, and greenwash politics.

How many are actually concerned about God’s Earth? and how many are actually rabid consumerists addicted to keeping up with the neighbours, and with social norms created by the mega-corporations and political institutions of globalisation?

How many of the electric car brigade think about the environmental damage caused by the mining for rare earth metals used in electric car batteries while they cruise around self-righteously?

During my time working in UN environment, I recall a situation in Mongolia in which the rivers polluted by mining corporations reportedly caused the death and illness of hundreds of people using the water from these rivers. Living in climate change / CO₂ ‘la la land’ some of these narcissists even spew verbal abuse at those people who don’t comply with their ideological insanity. What can be done?

Furthermore, some environmentalists appear to have taken the stance that “even if climate change is not caused by CO₂emissions, the UN CO₂reduction agenda is still justified as it would bring an end to the environmentally destructive globalisation paradigm”. However, this is clearly not the case, as the UN CO₂reduction agenda is clearly being used by the UN, governments, and mega-corporations to promote the sale of millions upon millions of electric vehicles with very large batteries, the production of which causes vast amounts of real pollution to land, air and water systems. The UN itself has been a bastion of environmentally destructive globalisation since its very inception – as other commentators have mentioned, now it is simply “globalisation painted green”.

Wind Energy Is a Lot of Hot Air

In relation to wind energy I note the analysis of Professor David MacKay (1967 – 2016) former Regius Professor of Engineering at Cambridge University and former Chief Scientific Advisor to the UK’s Department of Energy and Climate Change, in his book Sustainable Energy without Hot Air[3]. His analysis shows that an area twice the size of the entire country of Wales would need to be completely covered with wind turbines to meet the energy demand in the U.K., based on average energy consumption per person. The following is an important extract from his book:

“… offshore wind farms, which, filling a sea-area twice the size of Wales, would provide another 50 kWh/d per person on average. Such an immense panelling of the countryside and filling of British seas with wind machines (having a capacity five times greater than all the wind turbines in the world today) may be possible according to the laws of physics, but would the public accept and pay for such extreme arrangements? If we answer no, we are forced to conclude that current consumption will never be met by British renewables. “

“Let’s be realistic. What fraction of the country [the UK] can we really imagine covering with windmills? Maybe 10%?.. if we covered the windiest 10% of the country with windmills (delivering 2 W/m2), we would be able to generate 20 kWh/d per person, which is half of the power used by driving an average fossil-fuel car 50 km per day… I should emphasize how generous an assumption I’m making. Let’s compare this estimate of British wind potential with current installed wind power worldwide. The windmills that would be required to provide the UK with 20 kWh/d per person amount to 50 times the entire wind hardware of Denmark; 7 times all the wind farms of Germany; and double the entire fleet of all wind turbines in the world”

“The solar power capacity required to deliver this 50 kWh per day per person in the UK is more than 100 times all the photovoltaics in the whole world… today, electricity from solar farms would be four times as expensive as the market rate… paving 5% of the UK with solar panels seems beyond the bounds of plausibility in so many ways. If we seriously contemplated doing such a thing, it would quite probably be better to put the panels in a two-fold sunnier country and send some of the energy home by power lines.”

Based on Professor MacKay’s analysis, relying only on wind or solar renewable energy for the UK is mathematical madness, problematic and implausible. However, of course, most national politicians are not energy analysts or mathematicians. They naively rely on what their economists and advisors tell them, and clutch to that advice as if it were a childhood teddy bear. This is a mistake because the shocking and bizarre reality is that most economists appear to have no understanding or knowledge of Energy Returned on Energy Invested (EROEI). Most economists and policy makers are deluded by their own pseudo-science of contemporary economics and do not understand that the economy runs on energy and resources – not money! The creation of vast amounts of electronic or paper money from nothing will not the solve the energy problem. It takes vast amounts of actual fossil fuel energy to build a renewable energy production infrastructure.

“These [UN] sustainable development goals, are all driving towards a Green Agenda, capitalism painted Green, at a horrendous cost for mankind and for the resources of the world. But it is sold under the label of creating a more sustainable world… They seem to ignore the enormous fossil fuel use to convert to a green energy-driven economy. ”- Peter Koenig, former Analyst at the World Bank

If You Want to be a Fake Environmentalist in Ireland Join the Green Party

If you want to be a fake environmentalist in Ireland join the Green Party, for green politics there has been almost fully hijacked by the CO₂ / carbon emissions and wind energy agenda and its financial sponsors for at least 15 years. Real environmental concerns have been side-lined by the bogus CO₂agenda. I am not so familiar with the policies of Green Parties in other countries, yet the CO₂reduction agenda appears to be a commonality. The funding of the entire world economy is now based on a dangerous net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) strategy. Note that the world’s central bankers are at the root of this decision and are fully funding the worldwide climate change ‘project’. The central bankers are the folks that are behind all this nonsense. The Bank for International Settlements created the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure, which represents the world’s mega-banks and $118 trillion of assets globally (that is 118 thousand billion dollars – a huge chunk of the assets of the entire world). As other commentators have pointed out, green politics is now just globalisation painted green. More about my correspondence with the Green Party another time.

It should be noted that for decades these same mega-banks have rampantly promoted corporate economic globalization and fossil fuel dependency. Whilst, at the same time actively hindering the funding, creation, or government support of, more self-sufficient local communities/regions, and local co-operatives.

Most of the world population thus became reliant on the globalized fossil-fuel dependent system. What about the dastardly financialists behind the CO₂ hoax I may hear you say? In my experience few climate CO₂activists today are willing to contemplate the possibility that they are wrong, or that they have been lied to by the government. As the saying goes “it takes two to tango”. There will always be the cheaters and the cheated, the manipulators and the manipulated. One group cannot exist without the other.

Central Bankers Hijacked the Real Environmental Movement in 1992 Creating the Fake Climate Change Agenda

Whistleblower George Hunt served as an official host at a key environmental meeting in Denver, Colorado in 1987, and states that David Rockefeller; Baron Edmund De Rothschild; US Secretary of State Baker; Maurice Strong, a UN official and an employee of the Rockefeller and Rothschild trusts; EPA administrator William Ruccleshaus; UN Secretary General in Geneva MacNeill, along with World Bank and IMF officials were at this meeting. Hunt was surprised to see all these rich elite bankers at the meeting and questioned what they were doing there at an environmental congress.

In a video recording[4], Hunt later provided important evidence from the documents of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 3-14 June 1992. This conference was the well-known UN ’92 Earth Summit and was run by UNCED. According to Hunt, via the Earth summit, the UN was setting a net, an agenda, to place the power over the Earth and its peoples into their own hands. Hunt refers to these banking families and their financial and international institutional networks as:

“The same world order that tricked third world countries to borrow funds and rack up enormous debts… and purposely creating war and debt to bring societies into their control. The world order crowd are not a nice group of people…”– George Hunt, Whistleblower speaking about the UN Earth summit of 1992

As a consequence of the UN Earth Summit, the genuine environment movement that actually cared about real pollution to land, air and water, was politically hi-jacked by powerful political and financial interests with a different agenda.

Maurice Strong, a UN official and an employee of the Rockefeller and Rothschild trusts, had convened the first UNCED congress in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1972. Then, 20 years later he was the convenor and secretary general of UNCED. Hunt also provided video evidence from the Fourth UNCED World Congress meeting in 1987 of an international investment banker, stating that:

“I suggest therefore that this be sold not through a democratic process that would take too long and require far too much funds to educate the cannon-fodder, unfortunately, which populates the Earth. We have to take almost an elitist program…”

Thus, the decrees leading to the 1992 UN Earth summit were dictated without debate or opportunity for dissent and would supersede national laws. The decrees were dictated into existence by the banker Edmund de Rothschild, who got these major decrees into the ’92 UN resolutions without debate or challenge.

Hunt asserts that he was denied the opportunity to openly challenge Rothschild’s remarks by the meeting Chairman; and describes that the Rothschild bank of Geneva is the nucleus of the World Conservation bank and the wealthy elite are integrated into the bank via the Rothschilds private offering of shares.

God’s creation

Whatever your opinion on the climate debate, I conclude by mentioning that the ancient scriptures of the world tell us a higher truth – everything we use has been provided to us by the grace of God. Whether we are eating nice food, drinking a pint of beer, building a house, flying in a plane, or even driving an electric car, the resources all came from the resources of the Earth, God’s creation. Therefore, according to scripture, in our capacity as temporary stewards of nature, we should acknowledge, and thank, God the Creator. Respect for God, and love of God being the essence of all original scripture.

Palestinians File Emergency Motion to Block US Aid for Israel’s Genocide in Gaza

On November 16, two Palestinian human rights organizations, three Palestinians and five Palestinian Americans brought an emergency motion in United States federal court to immediately force President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to stop providing additional weapons, money, and military and diplomatic support to Israel, which is committing genocide in Gaza.

“Our Palestinian clients are asking the court to urgently order Biden, Blinken and Austin to stop supporting Israel’s genocide,” said Maria LaHood, Deputy Legal Director of Center for Constitutional Rights which filed the lawsuit on behalf of the Palestinians, in an interview with Truthout. “Israeli officials stated their intent to eliminate everything in Gaza, and then proceeded to carpet-bomb it, killing more than 11,000 people, including nearly 5,000 children thus far — many more are missing, buried under rubble, crushed and suffocating before they die.”

LaHood also pointed to Israel’s ongoing siege in which Palestinians in Gaza remain cut off from food, water and electricity.

“Those still alive are starving and drinking contaminated water, fearing being bombed. Yet the U.S. continues to expedite weapons and other support, in defiance of its international law obligation to prevent genocide, not fuel it,” LaHood told Truthout. “Our clients, who have already collectively lost more than 116 of their family members, are asking the court to provide preliminary relief so they do not suffer even more irreparable harm.”

The motion for preliminary injunction is grounded in U.S. officials’ legal duty to prevent — not exacerbate — Israel’s ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. The motion says that an immediate court order is necessary to protect the plaintiffs from “irreparable harm.” Some of the plaintiffs face a grave risk of death from Israel’s war on Gaza.

Palestinians Sue Biden, Blinken and Austin

The emergency motion that the group of Palestinians filed on November 16 came days after the same group of Palestinian plaintiffs sued Biden, Blinken and Austin in the U.S. District Court of Northern California for failure to prevent genocide and complicity in genocide.

The complaint — which the group filed on November 13, after more than five weeks of Israel’s unrelenting slaughter in Gaza — alleges violations of the Genocide Convention, the Genocide Convention Implementation Act and customary international law which forbids genocide.

Plaintiffs include Defense for Children International – Palestine; Al-Haq; three Palestinian individuals who reside in Gaza and five Palestinian Americans who have family in Gaza.

“To be honest, it’s difficult to revisit all the scenes of the past weeks. They open a door to hell when I recall them,” said Plaintiff Dr. Omar Al-Najjar, an intern physician at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, Gaza. “I’ve lost five relatives, treated too many children who are the sole survivors of their families, received the bodies of my fellow medical students and their families, and seen the hospital turn into a shelter for tens of thousands of people as we all run out of fuel, electricity, food and water. The U.S. has to stop this genocide. Everyone in the world has to stop this.”

Team Biden continues to unequivocally and unconditionally enable Israel’s genocide in Gaza. But Biden, Blinken and Austin are finally being called to account in court — as well as in the streets around the world — for their unwavering and illegal support of Israeli genocide.

The U.S. sends $3.8 billion in annual military assistance to Israel, more than it provides to any other country. Israel has special access to U.S. military stockpiles, likely worth up to $4.4 billion. The U.S. has long provided political and diplomatic cover to Israel by blocking resolutions in the United Nations Security Council condemning Israel’s human rights violations, and undermining efforts to hold Israel accountable in the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Israel Is Committing Genocide in Gaza

Article II of the Genocide Convention defines genocide as specific acts “committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.” The acts include: 1.) killing members of the group; 2.) causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; and 3.) deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.

As of November 10, Israeli occupying forces had killed more than 11,078 Palestinians in Gaza, 4,506 of whom were children. Israeli forces had caused serious bodily and mental harm by injuring 27,490 people in Gaza. About 2,700 more, including approximately 1,500 children, were missing. Israel also forced the displacement of 1.5 million people, half the population of Gaza.

For the past five weeks, the Israeli government has intensified its preexisting and already severe blockade of Gaza, with a “total siege” by further restricting the entry into Gaza of basic necessities, including food, water, medicine and fuel, and by cutting off electricity.

Jabaliya refugee camp bombed in Gaza

In his declaration in support of the motion for preliminary injunction, Professor William Schabas, a leading expert on genocide who is also Jewish, wrote that the “avowed policy of depriving Gaza of water, food, medicine and electricity, bearing in mind the rather desperate economic situation in the territory prior to the conflict and the fact that the borders are sealed, leaving the people of Gaza with nowhere to go, will inexorably lead to their physical destruction. If the siege and blockade continue, there can be no other outcome.”

Public statements by Israeli leaders constitute evidence of an “intent to destroy, in whole or in part” a “national group.” Palestinians in Gaza constitute a substantial part of the Palestinian nation.

Senior Israeli officials and politicians have used dehumanizing rhetoric to describe Palestinians in Gaza, calling them “human animals” and “children of darkness,” and refusing to distinguish between civilians and combatants, declaring that the whole population of Gaza is responsible for the Hamas-led October 7 attack.

The New York Times reported that, “Calls for Gaza to be ‘flattened,’ ‘erased’ or ‘destroyed’ had been mentioned about 18,000 times since Oct. 7 in Hebrew posts on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, said FakeReporter, an Israeli group that monitors disinformation and hate speech.”

Biden, Blinken and Austin Violated Legal Duty to Prevent Genocide

Article I of the Genocide Convention imposes a duty on all States Parties, which include Israel and the U.S. who have ratified the treaty, to prevent genocide. The International Court of Justice said in the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina v. Serbia and Montenegro that “a State’s obligation to prevent, and the corresponding duty to act, arise at the instant that the State learns of, or should normally have learned of, the existence of a serious risk that genocide will be committed.”

The Center for Constitutional Rights’s motion for preliminary injunction charges that, “Defendants have been on notice of the risk of genocide since at least October 9, if not already on October 7, through the public and widely circulated statements and actions by Israeli officials with whom they were in close, regular contact and consultation, as well as by warnings of indicators of genocide from United Nations officials and other sources that have only increased since then.”

Reports and images of Israel’s assault on the Palestinians in Gaza accompanied by words and actions of Israeli leaders revealing the intention to ethnically cleanse Gaza of Palestinians have been ubiquitous.

Yet instead of fulfilling their legal duty to prevent the unfolding genocide, Biden, Blinken and Austin poured gasoline on the fire by sending Israel vast amounts of weaponry, money and advisory support. On October 18, the U.S. vetoed a UN Security Council resolution that would have called for a ceasefire and urged Israel to rescind its order to 1.1 million Palestinians in northern Gaza to leave their homes and move to southern Gaza.

Biden, Blinken and Austin Are Complicit in Israel’s Genocide

Complicity to commit genocide can only occur if there is a punishable act of genocide by another state or persons. The accomplice enables or facilitates the crime but doesn’t have to share the specific intent to commit genocide. A defendant may be liable for genocide if he knowingly provides assistance, encouragement or moral support for the crime.

Furnishing arms and ammunition and operational support and advice that armed forces use to commit atrocities can constitute aiding and abetting if the defendant knew his actions would assist the international law violation.

The lawsuit charges that defendants Biden, Blinken and Austin transferred a significant amount of weapons and military equipment to Israel. They asked Congress to appropriate $14.1 billion in additional military assistance to Israel. Blinken authorized a $320 million transfer of military equipment to an Israeli manufacturer of kits for precision bombs.

U.S. leaders are intimately involved in day-to-day assistance to Israel as it bombards Gaza. On October 30, Defense Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh stated that Defense Department and other officials, “all the way up to the president have certainly informed and at least guided some of what the Israelis are doing on the ground in their ground operation,” the complaint says.

U.S. officials refuse to place any limitations on Israel’s use of U.S.-furnished weaponry to carry out its genocidal assault on the Palestinians in Gaza. On November 7, Singh admitted that “we don’t put conditions on weapons that … we’re sending or that Israel is using.”

Further, Biden continues to refuse to call for a ceasefire. On November 9, when asked at a press briefing about the chances of a ceasefire, he replied, “None. No possibility.”

The complaint states,

“As Israel’s closest ally and strongest supporter, being its biggest provider of military assistance by a large margin and with Israel being the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II, the United States has the means available to have a deterrent effect on Israeli officials now pursuing genocidal acts against the Palestinian people in Gaza.”

Lawsuit Seeks Declaratory and Injunctive Relief

In their lawsuit, the Palestinian plaintiffs are asking the court to declare that defendants Biden, Blinken and Austin violated their duty under customary international law, as part of federal common law:

to take all measures within their power to prevent Israel from committing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza;
that prohibits their complicity in genocide, by knowingly continuing to provide assistance that enables and facilitates Israel’s commission of genocidal acts against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

The plaintiffs are also seeking an injunction ordering defendants to take all measures within their power to prevent Israel’s commission of genocidal acts against the Palestinians in Gaza, including but not limited to ordering defendants to exert influence over Israel to:

end its bombing of the Palestinian people of Gaza, resulting in mass killing and serious injury;
lift the siege on Gaza and allow all electricity, fuel, food, water and humanitarian aid into Gaza; and
prevent the “evacuation” or forcible transfer and expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza and ensure freedom of movement.

Finally, plaintiffs are asking the court to issue an injunction to prohibit defendants from:

providing, facilitating, or coordinating military assistance and financing to Israel, including sales, transfer or delivery of weapons and arms to Israel, and providing military equipment and personnel, advancing Israel’s commission of genocidal acts;
obstructing attempts by the international community, including at the UN, to implement a ceasefire and lift the siege on Gaza.

The lawsuit says that even the crimes committed by the military wing of Hamas on October 7 that killed approximately 1,200 Israelis, including many civilians, and kidnapped 240 others, cannot legally justify the targeting of an entire population and collective punishment the Israeli government has meted out, let alone genocide.

Israel, as an occupying power, cannot claim self-defense against the people it occupies, the lawsuit maintains. Moreover, the intent to commit genocide repeatedly expressed by Israeli officials belies any claim to self-defense.

“Article 51 of the U.N. Charter, which sets the confines for the invocation and use of self-defense by States, is inapplicable when the threat originates from a territory over which Israel exercises control,” the lawsuit states, citing the International Court of Justice’s Advisory Opinion in “Legal Consequences of Construction of a Wall in Occupied Palestinian Territory.”

Congress is considering the request by Biden, Blinken and Austin to authorize more than $14 billion in additional military assistance to Israel. On November 3, the National Lawyers Guild, Center for Constitutional Rights and Palestine Legal sent a letter to congressmembers alerting them that they could face legal liability for aiding, abetting, inciting or conspiring to commit genocide by appropriating funds to support Israel’s ongoing genocide.

A hearing on the plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary injunction is set for January 11, 2024, in the Oakland, California, courtroom of Judge Donna M. Ryu.

State of Palestine UN Representative, Nada Abu Tarbush, gives an eviscerating address to the State of Israel at the 5th Meeting the High Contracting Parties (CCW), Geneva on 17 Nov 2023.

To the other states and civil society in the room, let me simplify Israel’s statement for you. Other than throwing insults around and other grave baseless accusations, Israel said something that should make all you shudder. It effectively said, “I can kill any and every person in Gaza. The 2.3 million people in Gaza are either terrorists or terrorist sympathizers or human shields and are therefore legitimate targets. Every person, according to Israel, falls into one of these three categories — a child, a journalist, a doctor, a UN staff, a newborn baby in an incubator.”

Children Killed by COVID mRNA Vaccines: 17-year-old Aubrynn Grundy Had Two Pfizer mRNA Vaccines for School Trip June 2022 and Died August 2022 from Multi-Organ Failure

November 23rd, 2023 by Dr. William Makis

Aug. 6, 2022 – Redford, MI – 17 year old Aubrynn Grundy had 1st Pfizer mRNA on June 7, 2022 and 2nd Pfizer mRNA on June 28, 2022. She went on a school trip and started to feel sick. She suffered a heart attack in ER, was hospitalized, deteriorated rapidly and died on Aug. 6, 2022. Her death was blamed on COVID-19.

Aubrynn Grundy, my niece (17) is fighting for her life.

She was diagnosed with covid-19 while on a trip she earned through school. This trip was earned through a vote among teachers and students. Aubrynn and one other student were voted kindest in their school, specifically pertaining to human rights. She was picked for being kind, which makes it all the more heartbreaking.

It was an all expenses paid trip that would take her all over the country and to parts of Canada. But, after feeling sick in Canada, she had tested positive for Covid. In New York, Aubrynn was so weak and sick that my sister, Shanna, packed up the car with the family and drove the twelve hour round trip to get her.

Once home, she only got worse and her breathing was so low that they rushed her into the ER. While waiting, her breathing became faint and she collapsed on the floor. Her heart stopped for the first time.

She was put into a medically induced coma and onto a ventilator to help her breathe.

She was airlifted to Detroit Childrens Hospital where her dad, my sister and my sisters fiance would meet her. When they arrived, they were told that her heart had stopped again and that chest compressions and CPR were needed to bring her back.

Her blood pressure was so low, and her lungs so damaged, she couldn’t get any oxygen to her blood.

Her heart stopped one more time before the doctors were able to administer heart surgery, putting her on a ECMO machine to keep oxygen flowing to her blood.

Her oxygen levels rose after that, deeming the procedure a success, her body would now be able to get the oxygen it needs while also taking stress off of her lungs.

They ended the night having her stable, but still on life support. The following days were filled with uncertainties as the doctors were tasked with countless obstacles. Her body was attacking itself in every way possible.

Through all of the pain, we have celebrated small victories. She had the hiccups after being motionless for over 24 hours and we all gushed.

She has attempted to move her arms, has opened her eyes and responded to questions the best she can. And she gets grumpy if she is moved or sponged bathed 🙂

But, Aubrynn’s fight is still dire.

The medicine they have her on prevents clotting in the brain which can then block the vessels in her hands and feet. It’s a natural side effect but long term use can cause fingers and toes to die.

To save her life, doctors will need to amputate her limbs.

While Aubrynn fights, her mom and dad, (Shanna Pelton and Anthony Grundy) along side Aubrynns step dad, (Adam Carroll) are fighting with her. Because her condition is so severe at the moment, Shanna and Anthony cannot and will not leave her side.

Until things are more stable, Adam will be at home with Aubrynns three siblings.

This puts them all in a tough place as far as work, and loss of work. So, for the time being I’m asking for any and all help to take some financial stress off of this blended family.

As a family, we are overwhelmed with the love and support we have received during our darkest hour. Thank you all so much.

July 31st, 2022

As of today, July 31st, Aubrynn is still being kept under while her body fights to right itself.

She has been showing good neurological signs. When brought off sedation she follows commands with her eyes and shows signs of brain function. Her lungs are still damaged and they keep removing fluid when they can and they are treating the MRSA and the candida.

Her sweet heart is still the main focus and is showing signs of improvement, which is good. Her heart is not quivering anymore, which is amazing. Overall her numbers are still high across the board but they are coming down slowly.

Right now everything is going to be on a day by day / week by week basis.

Aubrynn will need to be amputated above the elbow on her arms and above the knee on her legs. But first her body needs to be healthy enough.

August 6th, 2022

With a broken heart, I’m devastated to update you all that Aubrynn lost her battle tonight at 7:22 pm.

Autopsy Shows “Multi-organ Failure” and “COVID-19”

My analysis and a look into medical literature — other similar COVID-19 mRNA vaccine-induced multi-organ failure cases:

I have seen several cases of children with these Clinical Presentations and features and I will go over them:

June 30, 2023 – 14 year old Mathias Uribe (soccer player)
Jan 9, 2023 – 20 year old Levi Dewey (soccer player)
Nov.9, 2022 – 18 year old Trista Martin
Aug.10, 2022 – 14 year old Japanese girl (Nushida et al)
Jan, 2022 – 20 year old Florida rock climber & model Claire Bridges

June 30, 2023 – TN – 14 year old soccer player Mathias Uribe had flu like symptoms mid June and 2 weeks later was taken to hospital where he had cardiac arrest, was put on life support (ECMO), was diagnosed with Strep pneumonia and toxic shock syndrome and had to have his hands and feet amputated. He survived. He came out of pediatric ICU after 143 days on Nov. 20, 2023. Presumed COVID-19 vaccinated to play soccer.

Jan 9, 2023 – 20 year old Levi Dewey (soccer player) went to hospital on Dec. 7, 2022 with flu like symptoms and breathing difficulties. His condition deteriorated and he went into septic shock with multi-organ failure. He spent 20 days on ECMO, 14 of which were in an induced coma. After 31 days he was taken off ventilator. He had to have below-knee amputation of both his legs.

Nov. 9, 2022 – Broken Arrow, OK – 18 year old Trista Martin had a check-up in July 2022 and got a Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (to attend a concert) but didn’t tell her parents. 3.5 months later she died suddenly.

On the morning of Nov. 9, 2022, Trista woke at her half-sisters home near the Martin family home and said that she felt like she was dying. She was encouraged to go back to sleep and get some more rest. Soon after, she was unresponsive. CPR was started and when paramedics arrived they were able to get Trista’s heart beating again.

“Once in the hospital Trista repeatedly coded and it was during this time her father heard doctors and nurses discussing an enlarged heart. One of Trista’s friends then told Allen Trista had gotten the vaccine,”. “Doctors desperately work to keep Trista alive, but eventually her body was too broken to continue.”

Trista had suffered multi organ failure and died on Nov. 9, 2022.

Aug. 10, 2022 – 14 year old Japanese girl (Nushida et al)

14 year old Japanese girl had 3rd dose of Pfizer mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine on Aug.10, 2022.

Her sister, who had slept with her that night, reported that she woke up briefly because she was having difficulty in breathing, talked with her sister, and went to bed soon after.

The following morning, her mother noticed that she was not breathing and had a pale appearance, and she immediately called an ambulance.

The patient was in cardiopulmonary arrest when the ambulance crew arrived at their house and attempts to administer advanced life support were unsuccessful.

She died 45 h after the third vaccination.

Autopsy Findings: A diagnosis of vaccine-related multiple-organ inflammation was made based on the absence of bacterial or viral infection, lack of a past medical history suggestive of autoimmune disease, no allergic reaction, and no drug exposure other than the vaccine.

Myopericarditis is a form of multiple-organ inflammation. Although pneumonia is involved, pneumonia alone is rarely a cause of sudden death, and the presence of erythrocyte-laden macrophages as well as congestive edema of the lungs on histology suggested signs of heart failure from the previous day.

Although the extent of inflammation was relatively narrow, the presence of foci centered on the atria and breathlessness are the findings that raise the suspicion of heart failure several hours before death.

This led to the diagnosis that the cause of death was vaccine-related myopericarditis, which led to severe arrhythmias and progressive heart failure.

Jan. 2022 – 20 year old Florida model Claire Bridges

“In January 2022, Bridges was a 20-year-old model with her own apartment and a part-time job as a bartender in St. Petersburg, Florida. She was a vegan and “exceptionally healthy,” according to her mother.”

“When she caught Covid-19 that month, no one expected her to be hospitalized. She was fully vaccinated and boosted.”

But Bridges had been born with a common genetic heart defect…whether due to her heart or another unknown reason, COVID-19 hit Bridges hard.

“Extreme fatigue, cold sweats — progressively every single day it would get harder to try to eat or drink anything,” she recalled. “Then one day my mom found me unresponsive and rushed me to the hospital. I flatlined three times that night.”

“Diagnosed with myocarditis, rhabdomyolysis, mild pneumonia, cyanosis and acidosis – Claire was placed on dialysis to help her failing kidneys. The damage to her body, however, resulted in poor circulation to her lower limbs, leading to amputation.”

My Take…

I am not an Intensive Care Specialist or Critical Care Physician like Dr.Pierre Kory and this would be Dr.Kory’s area of expertise.

However, here is the sequence of events that I see in these tragic cases:

5 children ages 14 to 20. 3 died. 2 survived but with amputations.

It started with COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Immune System damage which predisposed the child to catch more infections.
Most of these emergency situations started with a flu-like illness.
It then led to a cardiac arrest. The idea here is that the heart has already been damaged by the COVID-19 Vaccines, through myopericarditis and scarring, and an infectious process would put strain on the heart which would lead to arrhythmia and then cardiac arrest:
1. 14 yo Mathias coded in emerg
2. 18 yo Trista Martin coded in her room
3. 14 yo Japanese girl coded in her room
4. 20 yo Claire Bridges coded in her room and 3 more times in hospital
5. 17 yo Aubrynn Grundy coded in emerg
Once the cardiac arrest happens, this is where the situation spirals completely out of control. MULTIPLE ORGAN FAILURE occurs and the child must be put on life support and into an induced coma
- This is where Trista’s parents and doctors were completely caught off guard by the rapid deterioration of Trista’s situation.
- This happened to Mathias and Levi, with Mathias staying 142 days in the ICU while Levi stayed 31 days. Claire also. All 3 needed amputation.
- Aubrynn ended up on life support but couldn’t pull through. If she had, she also would have had amputation.
- 14 yo Japanese girl never made it to the Hospital but on autopsy all her organs were failing. The authors called it: “vaccine-related multiple-organ inflammation”

This COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Induced MULTI ORGAN FAILURE SYNDROME should have its own name.

I believe it ultimately comes down to a perfect storm of a combination of Immune system damage combined with severe cardiac injury.

I have seen this mRNA MULTI ORGAN FAILURE SYNDROME in adults as well.

For completeness, I will include these cases below:

Oct. 24, 2022 – Texas – 29 year old Krystina Pacheco suffered septic shock. Two days after giving birth to a girl, she developed shortness of breath, vomiting, stomach pains, was hospitalized with septic shock. Sedated for 2 weeks she nearly died and had to have her hands and feet amputated (click here).

Jan. 1, 2023 – UK Piano Teacher Julianna Bransden suffered catastrophic injuries starting Jan. 1, 2023 (click here).

Julianna was a dedicated and popular teacher and musician. Since becoming a teacher 19 years ago in Aylesbury, Julianna devoted the last 10 years to the rural school of Llanmiloe in South Wales.

Julianna was fully COVID-19 vaccinated. On Dec.23, 2022 she developed flu like symptoms and on Jan.1, 2023 she had two cardiac arrests, went into septic shock, multiple systemic organ failure, needing full life support.

She was diagnosed with sepsis resulting from an aggressive form of pneumonia.

After weeks of fighting, she had to undergo surgery to amputate both of her legs below the knee and will lose most of her fingers.

“The pneumonia was caused by a combination of both invasive Strep A and Influenza, resulting in a level of sickness that several experienced ICU nurses said they had never seen anyone manage to recover from before.”

COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines must be taken off the market immediately.

John F. Kennedy’s assassination left an indelible scar upon the American psyche. Everyone who was alive at the time can remember where they were on that day.

Of all the legacies that my uncle left for our country, there is one that has not yet been fulfilled. During his term in office, he upheld a vision of America as a nation of peace, a vision that was abandoned after his death.

For the next 60 years, we maintained a military empire, squandering trillions of dollars as our economy hollowed out and our health and infrastructure decayed.

My promise to the American people is that I will put us back on the road to peace that JFK led us toward when, shortly before his death, he issued a national security order to withdraw American advisers from Vietnam.

We will instead take a path back toward peace and prosperity for our country.

Another Crisis “Much Worse Than COVID”, Paralysis of Power Supply, Communications, Transportation. The WEF “Cyber Attack” Scenario

By Prof Michel Chossudovsky, November 22, 2023

The World Economic Forum (WEF) which represents the Western financial elites, played a key role in the launching of the March 11, 2020 lockdown, which was conducive to a Worldwide process of economic and social chaos. The WEF is now pointing to: “A cyber-attack with COVID-like characteristics”, which promises to be far more devastating and chaotic than the Covid-19 pandemic.

Art and Struggle: Olive Trees as a Symbol of Palestinian Culture, Resistance and Peace

By Caoimhghin Ó Croidheáin, November 22, 2023

World Olive Tree Day was proclaimed at the 40th session of the UNESCO General Conference in 2019 and takes place on 26 November every year. The olive tree, specifically the olive branch, holds an important place in the minds of men and women. Since ancient times, it has symbolized peace, wisdom and harmony and as such is important not just to the countries where these noble trees grow, but to people and communities around the world.

Kennedy Assassination: The Greatest Conspiracy Ever Conceived

By Chaitanya Davé, November 22, 2023

Right after the assassination, vice-president Lyndon Johnson was sworn in as the president. He appointed the Warren Commission with chief justice Earl Warren in charge. Warren Commission later came out with an 889-page report declaring that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman who killed Kennedy. Here are some of the facts which proved that Lee Harvey Oswald was not the gunman and there were more than one gunmen who carried out this brutal murder.

BRICS Joint Condemnation of Israel’s War on Gaza: India’s “Double Talk” on Israel-USA

India is the important thing to observe in the BRICS joint condemnation of Israel’s war in Gaza.

“Leaders of major emerging economies called for an end to Israel’s war on Gaza on Tuesday, and for a cessation of hostilities on both sides to ease the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.

In a virtual summit chaired by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, the BRICS grouping denounced attacks on civilians in Palestine and Israel, with many leaders calling the forced displacement of Palestinians, within Gaza or outside the territory, “war crimes.”

“We condemned any kind of individual or mass forcible transfer and deportation of Palestinians from their own land,” a chair’s summary read. The group, which did not issue a joint declaration, also “reiterated that the forced transfer and deportation of Palestinians, whether inside Gaza or to neighbouring countries, constitute grave breaches of the Geneva conventions and war crimes and violations under International Humanitarian Law.” (Al Jazeera, November 21, 2023)

India has so far sided with Israel and its anti-Muslim war and deadly policies against occupied Palestinians. This way, India has alienated itself from Africa, most of Latin America, much of Asia, Russia, and the Global South.

It seems like even India itself has discovered that its position supporting Israel-USA makes it impossible for India to claim that India “represents” the Global South.

Note, however, that the joint BRICS condemnation of Israel’s war was only a summary by the South African chairmanship. No joint declaration was agreed upon by BRICS to condemn Israel, a sign that India is not really behind it and that India tries to talk a double-talk on Israel.

China in Crosshairs as US Deploys Land-based Medium-range Missiles in Asia-Pacific

As the mainstream propaganda machine was trying to present the supposed “new era of detente” between the United States and China (at least until President Joe Biden shot down their efforts with a single remark), the Pentagon was preparing for something completely different.

Namely, the US military is in the process of deploying new medium-range missile systems to the increasingly contested Asia-Pacific region. According to General Charles A. Flynn, a four-star commanding officer of the US Army Pacific (USARPAC), the deployment is officially slated for next year and its purpose is to “deter China from invading Taiwan”. More importantly, Flynn revealed that the US Army will deploy a missile launcher that will be able to fire the land-based version of the medium-range “Tomahawk” missile.

“We have tested them and we have a battery or two of them today,” General Flynn said, adding: “In 2024 we intend to deploy that system in your region. I’m not going to say where and when. But I will just say that we will deploy them.”

Although this isn’t exactly a new capability, as the US Army had ground-based medium-range cruise missiles back in the early 1980s, the weapon in question was banned under the now-defunct Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty that was signed by Washington DC and Moscow in 1987 (came into effect on June 1, 1988). This arms control agreement banned all types of land-based missiles and weapons (bar coastal defense ones) with ranges of 500-5500 km. This included ballistic and cruise missiles, both conventional and nuclear-tipped, but excluded air and sea-based weapons.

Among the most prominent types eliminated by the INF Treaty were the American MGM-31A “Pershing” and “Pershing II” solid-fueled ballistic missiles (ranges of 740 and 1770 km, and single warheads with yields of up to 400 and 80 kt, respectively) and the Russian RSD-10 “Pioneer” solid-fueled ballistic missiles (range of up to 5500 km) capable of using three MIRV (multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles) warheads with a yield of 550 kt each roughly 37 (111 altogether) times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb). However, among the affected weapons was one that the US effectively never stopped using.

The missile in question was the GLCM (Ground Launched Cruise Missile), officially designated as the BGM-109G “Gryphon”, a subsonic cruise missile with a range of 2780 km and a single W84 thermonuclear warhead (yield of up to 150 kt, or approximately 10 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb). The “Gryphon” was a land-based version of the infamous “Tomahawk” cruise missile that the US Navy continues to use and upgrades on a regular basis (the latest variant being the Block 5). As the US unilaterally withdrew from the INF in 2019, it’s currently in the process of reinducting these types of missiles.

Back then, several colleagues of mine and I argued that Washington DC did so because of their rivalry with China, despite the official stance of the US government that the alleged Russian violations of the INF Treaty were the reason for their withdrawal. The belligerent thalassocracy never provided any solid evidence for these allegations, but it did expose its own hypocrisy by testing a land-based version of the “Tomahawk” cruise missile just three weeks after it announced the termination of its compliance with the INF Treaty. The conclusion that this was prepared months or even years in advance is the only logical one.

Namely, it indeed takes years to develop such weapons or months (at best) to convert them from sea to land-based missiles. Even then, it took the US Army nearly half a decade of testing to officially induct the weapon and its “Typhon” launch platform. The newly deployed US Army units that use the land-based “Tomahawk” missiles can hit targets at ranges of approximately 1600 km. Their ability to carry the W80 thermonuclear warheads means that the old “Gryphon” is effectively resurrected, with the only difference being that its target is not European Russia, but China and very likely North Korea as well.

The very usage of the name “Typhon” indicates that the missile is a successor to the “Gryphon”, while the wordplay itself (similarity with the word typhoon) reveals its purpose as the weapon that’s supposed to devastate targets along China’s Asia-Pacific shore. The future location of the US Army units and their missile batteries is yet to be revealed, as General Flynn refused to give any comments in that regard, but various sources indicate that it could be Japan, further reinforcing the aforementioned hypothesis and “Typhon/typhoon” etymological connection.

The US is also expanding its military presence in the Philippines, Guam and elsewhere in the region.

This includes the deployment of similar “Tomahawk” launchers by the US Marine Corps (USMC), while the US Navy already has numerous sea-based “Tomahawk” launch platforms.

All this clearly indicates a concerted effort to surround China with hostile military bases and infrastructure that would force it to respond accordingly. And while Beijing might prioritize peace talks and detente, it will not do so at all costs. The Asia-Pacific and its busy sea lanes are of vital importance to the Asian giant’s heavily export-oriented economy and any sort of dangerous deployments that could jeopardize them will not be tolerated or left unanswered, particularly as Chinese hypersonic capabilities far eclipse that of the US.

“I hugged the olive tree. It was precious to me, so I hugged it. I felt like I was hugging my child. I’d raised the tree like my child. They attacked around 500 trees filled with olives. Each tree could have filled two sacks of olives. They destroyed my olive tree, but I grew them back. I tended them and they came back even better than before. Settlers will never be able to take my land. This is our land not theirs. We will keep resisting until the world ends.” –Mahfodah Shtayyeh (2005 video)

“I hugged the olive tree… I’d raised the tree like my child.”

On November 27, 2005, a Palestinian woman was photographed hugging an olive tree after it was attacked by Israeli settlers.

Get to know the story behind this iconic image. pic.twitter.com/YUS57QjrFc

— Al Jazeera World (@AlJazeeraWorld) November 10, 2023

November 26 will be World Olive Tree Day according to the 40th session of the UNESCO General Conference (2019). The olive tree has symbolised peace and harmony for millennia.

Think ‘holding out an olive branch’, an idiom that comes from Genesis 8:11 where we read “And the dove came into him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.”

However, in Palestine where the people have been cultivating olives for thousands of years, the olive tree has itself become a subject of destructive battles as settlers cut down or burn the olive groves. Al-Walaja, for example, is a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank, four kilometres northwest of Bethlehem and is the site of Al-Badawi, an ancient olive tree “claimed to be approximately 5,000-year-old and therefore the second oldest olive tree in the world after “The Sisters” olive trees in Bchaaleh, Northern Lebanon.”

It is estimated that about 700,000 Israeli settlers are living illegally in the occupied West Bank and extremist elements are becoming more violent. In October this year (2023) a Palestinian farmer harvesting olives “was shot dead by settlers in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus. ‘We are now during the olive harvest season – people have not been able to reach 60 percent of olive trees in the Nablus area because of settler attacks,’ according to Ghassan Daghlas, a Palestinian Authority official monitoring settler activity.”

Olive Tree by the late Ismael Shammout

Traditionally, harvest time would bring families and neighbours together, helping each other in a process called “al Ouna”. The importance to these communities for unity and an income has led to the trees being depicted in the arts, and in particular the visual arts. Many paintings show farmers and families gathering the olives or show the ancient trees as symbols of their struggle and resilience.

“Olive Harvest” by Maher Naji.

The close connection between the farmers and their trees was famously illustrated in the photo of Mahfodah from the village of Salem hugging what is left of one of her olive trees. This photo has since been the source of many posters and paintings illustrating the political conflicts that the people have been forced to endure.

Salem (2005)

Life for the artists has not been easy either. They have focused on themes such as nationalism, identity, and land. As a result, their art can be political and the artists “sometimes suffer from the confiscation of artwork, refusal to license artists’ organizations, surveillance, and arrests.”

Olive picking (1988) by Sliman Mansour

According to Sliman Mansour, a Palestinian painter based in Jerusalem, the olive tree “represents the steadfastness of the Palestinian people, who are able to live under difficult circumstances”, and like the “way that the trees can survive and have deep roots in their land so, too, do the Palestinian people.”

Painting by Salam Kanaan

Sometimes the paintings and posters incorporate other symbols of Palestinian identity like the City of Jerusalem (al-Quds), plants like Jaffa oranges, watermelon and corn, religious symbols, or the Palestinian flag.

Other traditional Palestinian arts like embroidery have used the olive tree in different ways. For example, the Palestinian History Tapestry “uses the embroidery skills of Palestinian women to illustrate aspects of the land and peoples of Palestine – from Neolithic times to the present. In the past, Palestinian embroiderers have mainly used cross stitch (tatreez) and geometric designs to decorate dresses and other items.”

Olive harvest [59 x 110 cm]. Design: Hamada Atallah [Al Quds] Al Quds, Palestine Embroidery: Dowlat Abu Shaweesh [Ne’ane], Ramallah, Palestine

The symbolism in art can take on even harsher characteristics like Sliman Mansour’s painting of an olive tree wrapped in barbed wire (Quiet morning). The subject, a woman in a beautifully embroidered dress, is contrasted with the denial of access to the olive tree and therefore access to her birthright (the past) and an income (the future).

Quiet morning (2009) by Sliman Mansour

The olive trees have provided a steady source of income from their fruit and the “silky, golden oil derived from it”. Moreover, it is believed that “between 80,000 and 100,000 families in the Palestinian territories rely on olives and their oil as primary or secondary sources of income. The industry accounts for about 70 percent of local fruit production and contributes about 14 percent to the local economy.”

Poster by Abu Manu (1985)

However, the idea of recovery and renewal is also a common theme as the resilient olive tree with its deep roots is shown to be able to recover its vigour despite being chopped down. This has provided inspiration for the farmers and artists alike. The struggle for nature has always been intertwined with the struggle for life, and respect for the olive tree has always been reciprocated with abundance over the millennia.

As the civilized world is confronted with pervasive evil in Israel, it may be recalled that the Abraham Accords were meant to bring peace to the Middle East, even though that pie-in-the-sky ambition was always questionable without the active participation of the indigenous Palestinians. The Accords were approved during a historic ceremony on the south lawn of the White House with the pretense that Palestine did not exist as a country and that Israel has been a fair, responsible neighbor. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The concept of Middle East peace without a two-state solution has once again been decisively debunked as the Abraham Accords proved to be little more than a PR gambit. Despite the accompanying White House pomp and self serving gibberish, it was a con job on the American public.

According to the Trump Administration, the Accords were part of a ‘broader diplomatic effort to pressure the Palestinians into negotiating a peace deal’ which was doomed to fail without official recognition that Palestinian people have a legitimate claim to its own land which was usurped by the political Zionists in 1948.

As the Accords were being approved in 2020, Trump acknowledged that while ‘the Palestinians are very difficult to deal with,” there had “been very strong signals” from the Palestinians “that they’d like to be a part of what’s happening.” In other words, Palestinian interest was indicative of their desire to resolve the two-state dilemma just as it is accurate to suggest if the Palestinians are difficult to deal with, Israeli occupation of their own land with continual repression and IDF barbaric attacks on their children may admittedly be ‘difficult’.

This is not rocket science but requires a willingness to not be snookered by the Zionists flawed biblical representations; to be able to examine the historical context without which the Accords were doomed to fail.

With 13,300 fatalities including more than 5,600 children, 3,550 women and 31,000 wounded, much of the world continues to respond to Israel’s savage attack on Gaza with massive demonstrations in support of a ceasefire and a Free Palestine.

Not surprisingly, the imperialist US government and its Congressional cronies remain mute and indifferent to world opinion or suffering of the Palestinian people. Meanwhile 68% of Americans support a cease fire including 75% of Democrats and 50% Republicans.

Originally touted by the Trump Administration as a landmark peace agreement intended to ‘normalize’ diplomatic relations between Israel and the Arab-Islamic world, the real intent of the Accords has been recognition of a Greater Israel as a sovereign nation, expanding into the Levant at the expense of the indigenous owners of the land. The Accords would provide opportunities for direct flights, people-to-people exchanges, business partnerships, and government agreements all contributing to increased investment and economic growth as well as an increase in ‘mutual understanding’, ‘human dignity’ ‘tolerance and respect’ and put an ‘end of radicalization.

In other words, once you get past the fluff, the Accords disregard claims that indigenous Palestine were residents for hundreds of generations; that the land had been finagled away by the Zionists who bullied the UN as ‘settlement’ encroachments continued on Palestinian land ever since. The Accords were negotiated by Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son in law who may not have been the most objective negotiator in favor of Israel asserting that “Those issues aren’t as complicated as people have made them out to be.”

In fact, while Palestine was deliberately and consciously excluded from the Accord, the signatorees were heralded as Trump spoke from White House balcony: ‘After decades of division and conflict, we mark the dawn of a new Middle East” and gave “Thanks to the great courage of the leaders of these three countries” as Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu heralded a “new dawn of peace.”

The signatories to the Accord included the UAE (United Arab Emirates), the Kingdom of Bahrain and Morocco with Sudan signing on after the 2020 election. In truth there was no expression of great courage as none of the Accord participants were in conflict with Israel or in need of Presidential dispensation, rather it was Israel who desperately needed proof of their legitimacy as they portend expansion into Lebanon and Syria.

Assuming true motivation for peace in the Middle East, should have begun with Palestine as their seventy five year struggle for validation would have been a worthwhile effort at establishing a two state solution or for the US to have encouraged the State of Palestine to obtain UN membership on their own authority. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told RT that the only way to end the violence is through the UN-backed framework for a two-state solution. That would have brought a real peace but the Zionists will never allow it and Trump bowed to their agenda. The Zionists have real estate, energy and commercial development plans which do not include its Palestine owners.

It might be of historic note to recognize that prior to the Accords, the Warsaw Conference met in February, 2019 billed as a brainstorming session to counter Iran ‘aggression’ and ‘terrorism’ as it sought to bring together some of the future Accord players like the UAE and Bahrain. Officials at that meeting made the speculative conclusion that the Palestinian ‘problem’ would be solved after the Accords while a Saudi rep indicated that the Palestinian matter needed to be addressed prior to any discussion of Israel sovereignty.

Most recently fifty seven members of the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation met in an extraordinary gathering to discuss the Israeli war and the extermination of Palestinian children.

Yet the dire Palestinian plight was insufficient for a select group of Islamic elites to dare challenge “God’s Chosen People” as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Morocco, and the UAE blocked a resolution condemning the Zionist attacks, a refusal to ban weapon sales to Israel and every other opportunity to support the Palestinian people just as Egypt, Turkey and Jordan were less than helpful.

There existed an opportunity to adopt an oil embargo on the Zionists but the Islamic elites, spineless and craven, most of whom are dictators, chose to do nothing. Rather than form a meaningful alliance with the Palestinians, all of these countries have a history of allowing the interventionist US to entice them with a weapons stash or ‘foreign aid’ as they betray their own ethnic-indigenous culture – all gratis of the American taxpayer. If only Americans knew.

However, once the US brought out the checkbook and sweetened the deal with an offer no one could refuse, Palestinian statehood was on the back burner to never again be seriously considered as its Islamic brothers took a long walk.

It is indisputable that any leadership exists in either US political party with no moral conscience evident within a low-information Congress, some of whom put their faith in AIPAC lobbyists or Protestant snake-oil salesmen masquerading as biblical preachers. Those preachers were armed with tainted religious lingo selling Scripture to know-nothings who are devoted followers of the demented Zionists who harbor a deep-seated theological hatred of Jesus Christ, almost as intense as their hatred for Palestinians.

Those Accord countries were required to accept Israel in a quid pro quo arrangement in which everyone received some benefit which frequently included a profitable US military presence or some other strategic gain:

Morocco. US signed the Normalization agreement and in exchange recognized Morocco’s disputed claim to Western Sahara. The agreement was later cited by Algeria as one of the reasons for unilaterally cutting relations with Morocco. Until 2020, no other member of the United Nations had ever officially recognized Moroccan sovereignty claim over parts of Western Sahara. Since 1979, the UN maintained that the native Sahrawi people of West Sahara have the inalienable right of all peoples to the right of self determination. UN Plenary Resolution 34/37. The question is what gives any US President the legal or moral right to make that determination for another independent territory or country as Trump also made that decision approving Israel’s acquisition of Syria’s Golan Heights obtained after the Six Day War.

Sudan. For its cooperation, Sudan signed the Declarative part of the Agreement. In exchange for its cooperation, Sudan was removed from ‘state sponsor of terrorism list’ with a US donation of $1.2 billion payment on their World Bank debt. Sudan signed the Accord on 10-2020 with Secretary Mnuchin in attendance.
Jordan. After 2020 election, Jordan agreed to export 600 MW electricity to Israel annually while it received 200 M cubic meters of desalinated water from Israel each year.
Oman. After much Netanyahu lobbying of its Sheik, Oman deferred to be part of the Accords but “committed to peace between Israel and the Palestinians based on a two-state solution.”
UAE. Boasts numerous American military bases; is an elective monarchy formed from a federation of seven emirates; with sixth and seventh natural oil and gas reserves in the world; also a new member of the BRICS II in 2024 with substandard human and civil rights.
Bahrain. Location for the Bahrain Naval Support Activity (BVS); home to the US Naval Central Command and the US Fifth Fleet and submarine base‘ bilateral agreement’; after the 10-7 origin of conflict in Israel, announced that the Israeli ambassador had departed and that Bahrain had recalled its ambassador from Israel and suspended all economic relations with Israel, citing a “solid and historical stance that supports the Palestinian cause and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.” The statement was made by Bahrain’s parliament and Israel said they had no knowledge of the decision.

“Immunization DNA” or iDNA is a novel class of gene therapy “vaccines” that encodes for the whole virus

iDNA “vaccines” transcribe the full-length genomic RNA of the live-attenuated vaccine virus. The full-length viral RNA then initiates replication of live attenuated virus in the tissues of the vaccine recipient, resulting in an immune response

The iDNA platform can be used to create vaccines in two different ways. You can either grow the iDNA in a culture to produce the vaccine in the conventional way, or you can inject the iDNA directly into the recipient and allow the body to produce the live attenuated virus internally

The first human trials for an iDNA shot that codes for a live virus could begin as early as 2024

In early April 2023, microbiologist Kevin McKernan reported he’d discovered DNA fragments in the mRNA shots made by Pfizer and Moderna, raising concerns about the possibility of genomic integration, autoimmune diseases and cancer. McKernan now reports having found a dose relationship between the load of DNA contamination and serious adverse events

If you thought mRNA injections were the craziest things the vaccine industry has cooked up lately, you haven’t seen the half of it yet. Up next, we have so-called “immunization DNA” or iDNA,^1,² a novel class of gene therapy “vaccines” that encodes for the whole virus.

It’s like mRNA, but on steroids. Rather than instructing your cells to produce a small portion, the spike protein of a given virus, iDNA products instruct cells to produce the virus in its entirety. As described in U.S. Patent 8691563B2:³

“The iDNA generates live attenuated vaccines in eukaryotic cells in vitro or in vivo for pathogenic RNA viruses … When iDNA is injected into the vaccine recipient, RNA of live attenuated virus is generated by in vivo transcription in the recipient’s tissues.

This initiates production of progeny attenuated viruses in the tissues of the vaccine recipient, as well as elicitation of an effective immune response protecting against wild-type, non-attenuated virus.”

According to Taipei-based Medigen,⁴ which launched its iDNA “vaccine” platform in 2018, the technology “combines genetic stability of DNA with the exceptional efficacy of live attenuated vaccines.” “Live attenuated” vaccines refers to vaccines that contain live (viable) but weakened (less virulent) viruses.

What Could Go Wrong?

A 2016 paper described the iDNA process thus:⁵

“As any DNA vaccine, iDNA plasmids are isolated from bacteria and include a eukaryotic promoter, such as cytomegalovirus (CMV) major immediate-early promoter.

However, unlike a traditional DNA vaccine that involves transcription of mRNA for expression of a subunit antigen, the iDNA vaccines transcribe the full-length genomic RNA of the live-attenuated vaccine virus. The full-length viral RNA then initiates limited replication of live-attenuated virus in the tissues of vaccine recipient resulting in efficient immunization.

Essentially, the iDNA plasmid turns a limited number of cells in the vaccine recipient into the cell-scale factories for ‘manufacturing’ of live-attenuated vaccine.

Thus, the iDNA technology represents a novel type of DNA vaccine. With the introduction of DNA-launched iDNA vaccines, DNA-based vaccines can be subdivided into (i) DNA vaccines that express subunit antigens and (ii) DNA vaccines that launch replication-competent, live-attenuated vaccines …

Finally, the iDNA plasmid can be used as a genetically stable repository seed to prepare live-attenuated virus in vitro either for subsequent use as a traditional live-attenuated vaccine or, after virus inactivation, as a traditional inactivated virus vaccine.”

Oh joy. Considering the shocking harms mRNA injections are causing, which instruct your body to create just a small portion of a virus that has no capacity to self-replicate, what could conceivably happen if we start injecting DNA that causes your cells to churn out replication-competent live virus?

Different Product, Same Lies

Materials describing this technology claim the self-replication is restricted to “a limited number of cells in the vaccine recipient,” but where have we heard that before?

The mRNA shots were also supposed to stay in the vicinity of the injection site, causing just the cells in your deltoid to produce spike protein, but we now have proof it goes everywhere and cells throughout the body are producing the spike.

So, just how would an iDNA shot affect just “a small number of cells” when anything injected travels throughout the body? And how is the manufacturing turned off? They don’t say, which makes me think it’ll be just like the mRNA shots, which have no off switch and have been found to, in some people, produce spike protein for six months or more.

When your immune system is taxed with a chronic infection in this way, it begins to break down. Autoimmune diseases can also develop, which is what we’ve seen with the mRNA shots. The risk of iDNA causing symptomatic sickness also strikes me as significant, especially if your immune system is already weak.

‘DNA Vaccine’ Safety Is Unclear at Best

According to New Scientist,⁶ the first human trials for an iDNA shot that codes for a live virus could begin as early as 2024. Medigen is currently seeking approval to begin trials, but it’s unclear which infection is being targeted.

At present, no DNA vaccine has ever received full approval anywhere in the world. India did, however, issue emergency authorization for a DNA shot against COVID-19, called ZyCoV-D,⁷ which encoded for two viral proteins, the spike protein and an IgE signal peptide.⁸

In March 2023, Cochrane founder Peter Gøtzsche and investigative journalist Maryanne Demasi published a systematic review of papers that had data on serious adverse events (SAEs) associated with the COVID jabs. About ZyCoV-D, they wrote:⁹

“A trial in India of ZyCoV-D, a DNA-based vaccine, was also highly problematic. It randomized 27,703 patients, either aged 12-17 years or 60 years and older. A supplement reported one SAE [serious adverse event] in the vaccine group and none in the placebo group among the elderly and one vs two in ‘comorbid subjects.’

The main text was totally different, with no division as per randomized group. It described 15 SAEs, but seven of these were merely being COVID-19 positive, which is not an SAE and furthermore belongs to the reporting of the benefits, not the harms. There was one death in each group. This paper, which was difficult to interpret, was published in The Lancet.”¹⁰

An online search for data on ZyCoV-D left me empty handed, so aside from that Lancet paper (and an interim report on the same trial¹¹), there doesn’t appear to be much out there.

As for what they used as the placebo is also anyone’s guess, as the paper doesn’t specify. Testing one vaccine against another is a simple trick to hide expected side effects, and we know that at least one other COVID shot (AstraZeneca), did not use an inert placebo but, rather, a vaccine against meningitis and septicemia.^12,¹³

So, in summary, the safety of ZyCoV-D is anything but clear. Even if we did have data on it, it still would not tell us much about the safety of iDNA shots. ZyCoV-D only encodes for two proteins, whereas iDNA will encode an entire virus.

DNA in mRNA Shots Cause Concern Among Experts

In early April 2023, microbiologist Kevin McKernan reported he’d discovered DNA fragments in the mRNA shots made by Pfizer and Moderna.^14,^15,^16,¹⁷ The highest level of DNA contamination found was 30%, meaning nearly one-third of the content of the shot was plasmid DNA. No DNA should be present in a commercial mRNA product that has been made under good manufacturing practices.

Since then, others have confirmed his results, including University of South Carolina professor Phillip Buckhaults. In September 2023, he testified¹⁸ to this before the South Carolina Senate Medical Affairs Ad-Hoc Committee on the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC).

Buckhaults is a molecular biologist and cancer geneticist with extensive experience in DNA sequencing, and initially set out to debunk McKernan’s claims. To his shock, he replicated McKernan’s findings instead.

In his testimony, he explained how these DNA contaminants can integrate into your genome and disrupt the function of other genes, either long term or permanently, and may be passed on to offspring for generations.

He told the senators he was “alarmed about this DNA being in the vaccine,” as “there is a very real hazard” of it integrating into a person’s genome and becoming a “permanent fixture of the cell” that can result in autoimmune problems and cancers.¹⁹

DNA Contaminants in mRNA Shots Greenlighted by Health Agencies

In an October 21, 2023, tweet, Steve Kirsch argued:²⁰

“You can now sue the mRNA COVID vaccine manufacturers for damages and the FDA is required to take the COVID vaccines off the market. Why? Adulteration. The plasmid bioactive contaminant sequences were NOT pointed out to the regulatory authorities.

Health Canada on Thursday confirmed the presence of DNA contamination in Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines and also confirmed that Pfizer did not disclose the contamination to the public health authority.”

Fact checkers struck back, stating that health regulators had indeed been aware of the contamination before the shots were authorized, and that there’s “no reliable evidence showing that DNA in vaccines integrates into our DNA or increases the risk of cancer.”^21,²²

Well, they’re at least correct on one point. Regulatory agencies were clearly aware of this problem, as Pfizer submitted documents to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) showing sampled lots had a broad range of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in them.²³ Many of those lots were far in excess of the EMA’s maximum limits.

But as for whether the DNA can integrate and cause disability, the fact checker was clearly misdirecting. DNA integration is something that has been recognized for quite some time, and has been discussed in the medical literature. It’s not a novel notion. Be that as it may, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration doesn’t care. It told Factcheck.org:²⁴

“The claim that the FDA is required to take any of the authorized or approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccines off the market is false. With over a billion doses of the mRNA vaccines administered, no safety concerns related to the sequence of, or amount of, residual DNA have been identified.”

Never mind the fact that never-before-seen “turbo cancers” are sending people to their graves in record numbers. Nothing to see there.

Dose Response Found Between DNA Contamination Load and Adverse Events

October 27, 2023, McKernan and four other coauthors published a preprint paper²⁵ in which they explore the dose response between the COVID shot lots found to be contaminated with DNA and serious adverse events.

The lots tested included 27 vials from 12 unique lots from Moderna and Pfizer. Residual DNA was found in all vials, but Moderna had lower and more consistent levels, suggesting they’re using a more standardized manufacturing process than Pfizer. The U.S. Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) was then queried for the number and categorization of adverse events reported for each of the lots tested.

“Quantification cycle (Cq) values (1:10 dilution) for the plasmid origin of replication (ori) and spike sequences ranged from 18.44 – 24.87 and 18.03 – 23.83 for Pfizer, and 22.52 – 24.53 and 25.24 – 30.10 for Moderna, respectively.

These values correspond to 0.28 – 4.27 ng/dose and 0.22 – 2.43 ng/dose (Pfizer), and 0.01-0.34 g/dose and 0.25 – 0.78 ng/dose (Moderna), for ori and spike respectively …

In an exploratory analysis, we found preliminary evidence of a dose response relationship of the amount of DNA per dose and the frequency of serious adverse events (SAEs). This relationship was different for the Pfizer and Moderna products …

Conclusion: These data demonstrate the presence of billions to hundreds of billions of DNA molecules per dose in these vaccines. Using fluorometry, all vaccines exceed the guidelines for residual DNA set by FDA and WHO of 10 ng/dose by 188 – 509-fold.

However, qPCR residual DNA content in all vaccines were below these guidelines, emphasizing the importance of methodological clarity and consistency when interpreting quantitative guidelines.

The preliminary evidence of a dose-response effect of residual DNA measured with qPCR and SAEs warrant confirmation and further investigation. Our findings extend existing concerns about vaccine safety and call into question the relevance of guidelines conceived before the introduction of efficient transfection using LNPs.

With several obvious limitations, we urge that our work is replicated under forensic conditions and that guidelines be revised to account for highly efficient DNA transfection and cumulative dosing.”

Resources for Those Injured by the COVID Jab

The more we learn about the COVID jabs, the worse they appear, and if iDNA shots become reality, we may be looking at an even greater calamity. It’s time to end the madness before it’s too late, and the way we do that is by rejecting all gene-based shots, be they RNA, mRNA, DNA, iDNA or anything else they might come up with.

Also, if you already got one or more COVID jabs and are now reconsidering, you’d be wise to avoid all vaccines from here on, including conventional ones, as you need to end the assault on your body. Even if you haven’t experienced any obvious side effects, your health may still be impacted long-term, so don’t take any more shots.

If you’re suffering from side effects, your first order of business is to eliminate the spike protein that your body is producing. Two remedies that can do this are hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. Both drugs bind and facilitate the removal of spike protein.

The Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) has developed a post-vaccine treatment protocol called I-RECOVER. Since the protocol is continuously updated as more data become available, your best bet is to download the latest version straight from the FLCCC website at covid19criticalcare.com.²⁶

The failure of Ukraine’s counteroffensive, Russia’s victory over NATO in the “race of logistics”, the West’s prioritization of aid to Israel amidst its war with Hamas, US congressional dysfunction, and the upcoming election season have combined to create a crisis for NATO’s proxy war on Russia through Ukraine. These analyses from late August onward will bring everyone up to speed about what’s happening if they haven’t been closely following this New Cold War conflict in recent months:

18 August: “A Vicious Blame Game Is Breaking Out After The Counteroffensive Predictably Failed”
20 August: “US Policymakers Are Caught In A Dilemma Of Their Own Making After The Failed Counteroffensive”
25 August: “The NYT & WSJ’s Critical Articles About Kiev’s Counteroffensive Explain Why It Failed”
3 September: “Top Canadian Media Revealed That Poor Medical Equipment Endangers One Million Ukrainian Troops”
7 September: “Poland’s Top Military Official Accidentally Discredited NATO On Several Counts”
9 September: “WaPo Reported That Ukrainians Are Distrustful Of The West & Flirting With A Ceasefire”
14 September: “Why Was Zelensky Overly Defensive In His Latest Interview With The Economist?”
14 September: “The New York Times Confirmed That Russia Is Far Ahead Of NATO In The Race Of Logistics”
31 October: “Time Magazine Shared Some ‘Politically Inconvenient’ Truths About Ukraine”
3 November: “Ukraine’s Commander-In-Chief Made A Last-Ditch Appeal For American Aid”
5 November: “The New York Times Wants Everyone To Know About The Growing Zelensky-Zaluzhny Rivalry”
8 November: “The Latest Reports Suggest That Secret Talks Are Taking Place Between The US & Russia”
14 November: “The Western Public Should Heed The Former NATO Supreme Commander’s Words About Ukraine”
19 November: “Zelensky Is Desperate To Preemptively Discredit Potentially Forthcoming Protests Against Him”

And here’s a spree of reports from over the past few days showing how much everything has changed:

16 November: “End ‘magical thinking’ about defeating Russia – US experts”
16 November: “US Abrams tanks made no difference – Zelensky”
17 November: “Zelensky fears a new ‘Maidan’ – Bloomberg”
17 November: “Biden signs funding bill that excludes Ukraine”
18 November: “Bidens welcomed the Russians – deputy PM”
18 November: “Zelensky’s top aide criticizes slow delivery of Western arms”
19 November: “Ukraine must brace for loss of US support – ex-ambassador”
19 November: “Bloomberg outlines how Russia has shrugged off sanctions”
19 November: “Top Zelensky aide questions Ukraine’s ‘survival’”
20 November: “Time running short for US military aid to Ukraine – NBC”
20 November: “Zelensky demands ‘rapid changes’”
20 November: “Ukraine ‘utterly dependent’ on US aid – Treasury secretary”
20 November: “STAY OUT: Zelensky warns Ukraine generals that getting involved in politics puts country’s unity at risk”
20 November: “Ukraine ‘concerned’ by Western push for Russia talks – security chief”
21 November: “No ‘silver bullet’ for Ukraine – Washington”
21 November: “Ukraine in ‘big trouble’ – ABC News”

That spree of reports adds credence to the assessment that this proxy war appears to be winding down.

The top takeaways are that:

1) Western financial and military aid is indeed evaporating;

2) Ukraine is now freaking out and fearmongering about the future;

3) political rivalries in that country are intensifying;

4) the West is indeed pressuring Ukraine to enter into peace talks with Russia aimed at freezing the conflict; and

5) organic grassroots protests might break out across Ukraine sometime soon. This isn’t how everything was supposed to be, however, since Kiev promised an altogether different future.

It seems like so long ago, but just six months back the West was hyping everyone up about what to expect from Kiev’s then-upcoming counteroffensive, which was supposed to be a Clausewitzian masterstroke that would showcase the West’s military superiority. Instead of Russian being chased back into its pre-2014 borders, however, the New York Times admitted in late September that “Russia now controls nearly 200 square miles more territory in Ukraine compared with the start of the year.”

Quite clearly, that one country on its own was able to withstand the proxy war onslaught of the “more than 50 nations” that Biden recently boasted had joined the US in arming Ukraine. Even against those odds, it was ultimately Russia – and not Ukraine – that successfully launched its own counteroffensive by expanding the area under its control by 200 square miles. Western stockpiles have been depleted and what’s left is earmarked for Israel, however, so that metric might multiply by early next year.

If the front ends up collapsing in the opposite direction than the West expected would happen just half a year ago, then this New Cold War bloc might feel pressured to launch a conventional on-the-ground intervention to safeguard some of the gains that its people paid over $160 billion to secure. In that scenario, the risk of World War III breaking out by miscalculation would spike, which no responsible policymaker wants to have happen. After all, for as radical as the Western elite is, it’s not suicidal.

Russia is also aware of what’s at stake if it manages to achieve a breakthrough across the coming months should the front collapse as a result of Ukraine’s multidimensional troubles, which is why it appears to still be committed to President Putin’s strong signals from this summer about negotiating peace. So long as Zelensky refuses to comply with his Western patrons’ demands in this respect, however, the abovementioned scenario will remain credible and could materialize sooner than later.

Therein lies the significance of his growing rivalry with Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhny. Ukraine’s top military official could either orchestrate a military coup with the West’s approval – irrespective of whether it follows the outbreak of organic grassroots protests – or be deposed by Zelensky with their approval as a reward for recommencing meaningful peace talks with Russia in some capacity. However it unfolds, Zaluzhny is expected to play a major role in the coming months, whether as a “hero” or “villain”.

Considering all the disadvantageous dynamics that are rapidly converging nowadays, there’s little doubt that NATO’s proxy war on Russia is winding down, though that doesn’t automatically mean that the conflict will soon freeze. It’ll likely continue even if only at a low scale as peace talks, including potentially secret ones, take place (unless the omnipotent threat of a black swan materializes). For all intents and purposes, however, this proxy war will probably be fought at a different tempo from now on.

Central Florida – Real Estate Agent Jennifer Rios Rivera had her 7 year old daughter vaccinated with Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine in Dec. 2021 because she was asthmatic.

Her daughter developed side effects 10 days after the 2nd Pfizer mRNA jab (chest pain, joint pain, leg weakness) but couldn’t get a diagnosis for 2 years. She was finally diagnosed with Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis and is now on steroids, plaquenil, celebrex and still has symptoms (source).

Case 1: 24M had 1st Pfizer mRNA
- 3 days later, a rash appeared on the head neck and arms, and stiffness in both wrists
Case 2: 23M had 2nd Pfizer mRNA
- 1 month later he developed fever and pancytopenia, oral ulcers and malar rash over his face.
Case 3: 56M had 2nd Pfizer mRNA
- 1 month later he was admitted to hospital for left hand joint pain and swollen left axillary lymph nodes.
- Exam showed bilateral knee and left wrist arthritis.
All three were diagnosed with Lupus
Literature reviewed showed 3 other cases after mRNA vaccination:
- 27F, Moderna 2nd dose, 2 weeks later arthritis
- 22F, Pfizer 1st dose, 1 week later cutaneous vasculitis, pancytopenia
- 24M, Pfizer 2nd dose, 2 weeks later fever, arthritis, oral ulcers, etc.
Post mRNA Vaccine Lupus: very variable clinical picture
Other than SLE, the diagnosis of new-onset autoimmune conditions following COVID-19 vaccination has been reported previously:
- rheumatoid arthritis
- immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia
- autoimmune liver diseases
- Guillain–Barré syndrome
- IgA nephropathy
Two theories on mechanism:
- 1. molecular mimicry of spike protein to human proteins
- 2. Immune activation that produces Type 1 Interferon

2022 May (Watanabe et al) – Case Report: New-Onset Rheumatoid Arthritis Following COVID-19 Vaccination

53F year old Japanese man had 2 Pfizer mRNA jabs
4 weeks after 2nd dose his left knee joint became swollen and painful.
Blood labs showed elevated Rheumatoid factor, but also elevated cytokines IL-6, TNF-a and IFN-I.
Diagnosis: Rheumatoid Arthritis caused by Pfizer vaccine
Conclusion: “Given that pro-inflammatory cytokine responses play crucial roles in the development of autoimmune disorders, it is likely that COVID-19 vaccination can be a trigger for production of pro-inflammatory cytokines”
“Here we show a case of de novo RA following COVID-19 vaccination and characterized by systemic pro-inflammatory cytokine responses including IFN-I, IL-6, and TNF-α”

Children injured by mRNA vaccines – 16 cases of new onset Lupus

VAERS 1337921: 16F (New Mexico) had 1st Pfizer mRNA. Two days later began having polyarthralgia, myalgias, arthritis, etc, suggestive of Lupus

VAERS 1424433: 17F (Virginia) had 2nd Pfizer mRNA. 2 weeks later began having chest pain and shortness of breath, lab work positive for Lupus.

VAERS 1474796: 16F (Virginia) had 1st Pfizer. 1 week later started having rashes on her legs along with her feet swelling and hurting. After 2nd Pfizer, her whole body developed rashes and her feet pain got worse. Doctors suspect Lupus.

VAERS 1794837: 16F (North Carolina) had 2nd Pfizer. 39 days later seen for joint pain that started a few weeks after 2nd dose. Now diagnosed with Lupus and glomerulonephritis.

VAERS 1866616: 16M (Foreign) had 2nd Pfizer mRNA. 2 days later started developing skin reaction, by 12 days he had butterfly rash on both cheeks and reported to the hospital. Small rashes observed in extremities and abdomen. Diagnosis: discoid lupus erythematosus.

VAERS 1915358: 15M (Foreign) had 2nd Pfizer mRNA. 9 days later was hospitalized with myocarditis, pericarditis, SLE (Lupus).

VAERS 1934578: 12F (Foreign) had Pfizer mRNA on Sep.24, 2021. She had fever for 2 weeks after mRNA and presented to emergency with weakness of limbs and fever. Was diagnosed with SLE (Lupus).

VAERS 1967228: 15F (Illinois) had 2nd Pfizer. 10 days later admitted with chest pain, diagnosed with pulmonary emboli, SLE, Lupus nephritis

VAERS 1994301: 14M (Foreign) had 1st Pfizer mRNA on Oct.17, 2021. Diagnosed with Lupus on Nov.12, 2021, thrombocytopenic purpura, etc.

VAERS 2073323: 10F (California) had 2nd Pfizer. 21 days later admitted with auto-immune testing, diagnosed with SLE (Lupus) Nephritis

VAERS 2192193: 8F (Colorado) had 2nd Pfizer. 30 hours after Vaccination started getting daily intermittent fevers and extremity edema. Diagnosis: New SLE (Lupus) complicated by lupus nephritis

VAERS 2231412: 17F (Massachusetts) had 2nd Pfizer mRNA. 13 days later developed sore throat and fevers, diagnosed with SLE and lupus nephritis

VAERS 2321591: 15F had 2nd Pfizer mRNA. Developed Lupus from the vaccine.

VAERS 2379244: 11M had 2nd Pfizer mRNA. Was diagnosed with Lupus 8 months later.

VAERS 2482327: 16F had Pfizer mRNA on Nov.24, 2021. Hospitalized and diagnosed with SLE (Lupus) with Nephritis on Dec.22, 2021.

VAERS 2582228: 11F (Kentucky) had 3rd Pfizer mRNA. 3 days later had acute onset of facial lesions (erythematous maculae). This evolved into diffuse erythematous annular rash confirmed to be acute cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus.

My Take…

This Florida mom gave her 7 year old daughter Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines, and 10 days after the 2nd Pfizer jab, the girl started having chest pain, rashes, joint pain and now has an auto-immune disease for life for which she is on steroids and immune modulators.

This mother was tragically oblivious to the dangers and toxicity of COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines in children, and trusted corrupt and incompetent pediatricians and politicians. Now her daughter is disabled for life.

I do appreciate that she had the courage to share the story.

Not only are her daughter’s symptoms not controlled by multiple medications, but she has no idea of the long term consequences of this kind of immune system damage.

The fact that there are 16 VAERS cases of Children whose immune systems have been permanently damaged with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (with or without kidney inflammation and kidney damage), means there are hundreds of such children permanently injured and disabled, whose reports never made it to VAERS.

Yet another reason to do everything possible to get COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines off the market immediately and banned from use in children!

Pakistani Military Equipment Could End Up in Israel Instead of Ukraine

Pakistani caretaker prime minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar has denied reports that his country sold weapons to Ukraine for use in its war with Russia, saying that such allegations are “confusion.” Although Kakar’s comment was made in response to recent reports on Pakistan’s support for Ukraine, such claims have existed since the early stages of the war in 2022 – meaning well before he became caretaker prime minister on August 14, 2023. He denies the sales to absolve himself of embarrassment in case these weapons end up in Israel instead of Ukraine.

“We will investigate if it [Pakistan arms] has ended up somewhere else. But, as far as Pakistan is concerned our arms were not at all destined for either Ukraine or any other place for that matter,” Kakar said in an interview with VOA.

“We are just exploring that how this entire confusion has been created and what are the reasons behind those confusions,” Kakar said, claiming his government was already discussing this issue “on different diplomatic channels with the concerned authorities” in Washington.

Kakar’s comments came after BBC Urdu reported on November 13 details about Pakistan’s purported ammunition sales worth $364 million to American companies supplying arms to Ukraine. According to the report, Pakistan had signed the arms sales contracts in August 2022 to supply two private US military companies, Global Military and Northrop Grumman, with 155-mm ammunition.

Although Pakistan has often reiterated that it is completely “neutral” in the war between Ukraine and Russia, the South Asian country has not ruled out the possibility of these weapons reaching Kiev’s forces from the black market.

Speculation about Pakistan’s support for Ukraine was galvanised further by a purported official document of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) on the $364 million ammunition sales. It also cannot be overlooked that Pakistan’s overall arms exports skyrocketed to $415 million in 2022-23, over 30 times the $13 million in 2021-22, which would account for the sales to Ukraine.

The BBC Urdu revealed that the arms were supplied using a British military cargo plane from Pakistan Air Force Base Nur Khan in Rawalpindi to the British military base in Akrotiri, Cyprus. From Cyprus, the weapons were then taken to Romania and onwards to Ukraine. This reportedly occurred five times.

Kakar’s denial was made a day after Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mumtaz Zahra Baloch also denied the allegation at a weekly briefing in the capital Islamabad.

“First of all, I reaffirm what we have said in the past that Pakistan has not sold weapons to Ukraine or to Russia as we have adopted a policy of strict neutrality in this conflict,” she said. “Pakistan’s export of weaponry to countries is accompanied by end-user certificates and we expect the parties that import Pakistani weapons to respect those end-user commitments.”

However, Pakistan has not adopted “a policy of strict neutrality” since the ousting of Imran Khan, as Baloch claims. It is recalled that in January 2023, the Economic Times reported that the Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF), a state-owned defence industrial enterprise, was sending 159 containers of 155mm artillery shells, M4A2 propelling bag charges, M82 primers, and PDM fuses to Ukraine via Poland. Economic Times then again reported in July 2023 that a merchant vessel with nearly 200 containers of defence stores by Pakistan Ordnance Factories delivered military equipment to Ukraine via Karachi and Gdansk ports.

It is recalled that during a visit to Pakistan in July, amid that round of accusations, Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba rejected reports that Pakistan was supplying arms to Ukraine to support its military. Kuleba, over the course of the war, has been proven not to be credible, and therefore, his refutation cannot be taken as truth.

Rather, due to the catastrophic economic situation, partially fuelled by unapologetic support of jihadi groups, Pakistan is seeking to find economic relief, including from Western institutions such as the IMF. These come with many conditions, though, including support for Ukraine.

Imran Khan’s support for Russia saw him quickly ousted by the US-friendly military elite in Pakistan, thus demonstrating that the country is held ransom to the interests of Washington. The former prime minister arrived in Moscow on February 24, 2022 – the same day that Russia launched its special military operation. He was ousted for visiting Putin and not condemning Moscow’s actions, something which his US-planted successor, Shehbaz Sharif, was quick to reverse.

Pakistan is not a neutral country like Kakar and Baloch claim, as demonstrated by the ousting of Imran Khan due to his pivot towards friendly relations with Moscow and the sale of weapons to Ukraine.

Nonetheless, as some experts have highlighted, there could be a situation where Pakistani ammunition and weapons bought by the US and bound for Ukraine could now end up being directed to Israel to fight Hamas and other Palestinian extremist groups. This would be highly ironic considering Islamabad does not recognise Israel as a state and supports, at least in rhetoric, the Palestine cause.

Kakar and Baloch are obviously trying to cover the fact that they are selling weapons and ammunition to US companies with the intention they end up in Ukraine but do not want to take responsibility for this, especially if it is exposed that they instead ended up in Israeli hands. This is a very real possibility since Washington’s attention is increasingly being turned towards the Middle East and away from Eastern Europe.

Argentina – A Political Earthquake

On Sunday, 19 November, the extreme neoliberal Javier Milei won the run-off elections with 56% against 44% for the present Peronist (center left) Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa. This is more than a surprise. On 23 October, during the first-round vote, Massa had a 36% to 30% lead. Massa is an experienced economist and well-versed politician. Milei is neither.

However, Milei boasts he will drastically reduce Argentina’s inflation, currently more than 140%, get rid of the Argentine Central Bank and adopt the dollar as the national currency, replacing the Peso. This is just one of his radial neoliberal measures he plans for Argentina.

Introduction of the US dollar as the national currency is the most drastic measure Milei announced way ahead of the elections – and it would be more than surprising if Argentinians just 22 years after the economy totally collapsed (2000-2002), precisely because then-President Carlos Menem’s dollarized Argentina in 1991 by pegging the Peso 1:1 against the dollar. Already then, the argument was “fighting inflation.”

This “argument” was strongly advanced by Washington and the IMF, while every sane economist knows that you cannot run a country which has its own culture and economic parameters with the currency of another country. It is unbelievable, that neither Washington, the FED, nor the IMF should have no even-headed economists.

In today’s George Orwell’s 1984 world, everything goes. If people go along, why not. The Tavistock Institute, whose specialty is social engineering and mind manipulation, will take care of it. In the Western world, it happens almost permanently.

There is one country in South America, Ecuador, which is since 2000 fully dollarized. Almost exactly when Argentina’s economy sank into an abyss, because of dollarization, the then right-wing Ecuadorian President Jamil Mahuad, under pressure from Washington / FED and the IMF, dollarized the hydrocarbon-rich South American nation – allegedly for the same reason, “hyperinflation.”

No lesson learned by sovereign Ecuador. Her economy runs by petrol income. More than 50% of export earning stem form petrol – and US oil companies control the rich Ecuadorian hydrocarbon resources.

Ever since, the US dollar replaced Ecuador’s national currency, the Sucre. Ecuador’s economy is enslaved to Washington’s economy, hovering in a crisis, some times more than others. To the detriment of the population, Ecuador’s politicians are easily manipulated and corrupted by the US.

Argentina has a diversity of riches – and a well-educated population. Those factors have helped Argentina to recover relatively well after the downfall 20 years ago.

Image: Mauricio Macri

Argentinians, for sure have not forgotten the misery they went through 20 years ago, and a similar onslaught of poverty-inducing economic measures by another neo-liberal /neo-fascist president, Mauricio Macri (December 2015 – December 2019) – a four-year period during which Macri made sure that the riches gained by hardworking Argentinians during the 15 years of recovery, were transferred north – to the IMF, Wall Street, and the elites of the Unite States, Europe and international corporations.

The same is happening now. And most Argentinians, according to the election results, would go along? Hardly.

So, there must be a hidden agenda to subdue and “social-engineer” the masses so that they refrain from protesting, no questions asked, with a new fraud dismantling their economy under the pretext of reducing inflation.

Inflation can be artificially-induced, especially in countries whose economies are strongly dependent on the US dollar, as is Argentina, despite her efforts to de-dollarize by trading in local currencies. This works well with China, Argentina’s second largest trading partner (2022).

As part of Mercosur, Brazil is Argentina’s main trading partner for both exports and imports, followed by China, the United States, India, Chile, Paraguay, and Germany. Other than China, most of these countries trade in US dollars or the dollar-dependent Euros.

By far the largest investor in Argentina is the US, with more than US$ 12.6 billion (2022), mainly in agriculture, manufacturing, oil and gas, communications and technology, and financial services. This is an increase of 3.6 % over 2021. A sign that dollar-dependency may be increasing.

See this and this.

With dollars flooding the nation, artificially generating inflation in a country proven vulnerable for hyper price hikes already in the 1980s, is like 101 of manipulating economics.

Argentina is a member of China’s Belt and Road. The BRICS Summit in August 2023 in Johannesburg, South Africa, welcomed Argentina as one of the six new BRICS members as of 1 January 2024.

How the Belt and Road and the new BRICS membership will fit into Milei’s radical neoliberal agenda remains to be seen.

If Javier Milei, who has the support of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, succeeds in pulling through with his radical economic measures, the population may be programmed for enormous hardship like in 2001 / 2002, or worse. Working then in Argentina, experiencing this misery first hand, it is difficult to believe that Argentinians would be so easily and so quickly “forgettable”, just to be duped again with the same medicine.

There is so far no proof, but it is more than suspicious, and likely that there was fraud involved in these run-off elections. This often happens, a sudden turn-around between the first election results and the run-off vote. Curiously, there are never any exit polls taken by neutral observers in such crucial and fraud-prone elections.

Question: will Argentina succumb to the globalists, giving up her riches for an international US-led elite, giving away for the third time in about three decades, Argentina’s fortune and resources to a globalist clan, led by the visible face of the World Economic Forum (WEF), but whose strings are pulled by a financial elite lurking in the dark?

“The Game Surrounding OpenAI”: Microsoft with AI Move Goes for Trillions

November 22nd, 2023 by Karsten Riise

The game surrounding OpenAI these days is not only a soap-opera. It’s a Game of Thrones for not only billions but trillions of dollars from the upcoming AI industry.

With AI (supported by other technologies), 30 % of hours currently worked across the US economy of $ 27 trillion could be automated.

AI is a gold rush for IT, and Microsoft intends to take the Lion’s share.

To drive AI, Microsoft is building 120 herculean datacenters all over the world, just in 2023 alone.

In this AI gold rush, OpenAI is by far the leader of the industry. OpenAI is the AI industry’s biggest gold mine – and the main target of Microsoft.

Microsoft bought into a big share of the gold mine called OpenAI, but no matter the billions from Microsoft, under the current governance structure of OpenAI, Microsoft can gain no control and no freedom to maximize and extract the unfathomable profits just waiting inside OpenAI to be mined.

The power of OpenAI’s controlling idealists with their philosophies about non-profit and safety stood in the way for Microsoft to just scoop up the trillions (not “just” billions) of dollars waiting there.

All the talk about sympathy for this or that person is rubbish in the media. This is not personal – it’s just business, as they say in the movie Godfather.

What Microsoft wants is to demolish the profit-limiting structures of OpenAI and take all its development and talent under Microsoft’s full control.

No profit-cap, as hitherto. Less concern for safety and use of AI – more concern for speed and maximum commercialization.

The sudden dismissal of OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman was justified by the Board of OpenAI with reference to a “lack of candidacy” on behalf of Sam Altman to the Board. That is a severe accusation.

We sense that the Board of OpenAI unexpectedly came across something which made them feel betrayed by CEO Sam Altman.

We therefore ask if there have been some double-dealings by Sam Altman with Microsoft behind the back of the Board of OpenAI? Some actions on behalf of the former CEO of OpenAI contravention of the Board’s ethical principles for running OpenAI by developing safe AI, not primarily for profit, but for the benefit of Humankind?

On the Board – leading the dismissal of the former CEO Sam Altman – Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI’s genius Russian-Israeli Chief Scientific Officer, is not only the indispensable key driver to OpenAI’s immense technological achievements, but also for OpenAI’s ethics and nonprofit principles.

Look through all the often very long interviews by top members of OpenAI, and it is always Ilya Sutskever who has all the basic answers about technology, scientific philosophy, safety, and ethics – nobody else.

Former CEO Sam Altman was more the figurehead who assimilated the message to every segment of audience, taking on a conservative suit and necktie for talking sweet to the formality-adhering member of the US Congress, and donning a fancy pink polo shirt and violet sunglasses when visiting and charming the fashion-conscious French.

Microsoft’s strategy relative to OpenAI is simple: Rob OpenAI of its commercially useful but less IT-talented former CEO and get so many of OpenAI’s talent with the former CEO over to Microsoft to at best make it impossible for OpenAI to continue without Microsoft’s control, alternatively for Microsoft to quickly replicate OpenAI’s achievements inside Microsoft – or even better, break down OpenAI’s governance principles and give Microsoft free hand to take full control of OpenAI.

All AI talent is paid like Rock-Stars – but most well-earners will still want to earn a lot more, if they can.

With no restrictions on profit making, Microsoft has no problems bidding up the less idealistically minded majority of OpenAI’s tech-talent to earn a fortune with Microsoft.

After that, the idealists left behind at OpenAI may be demolished for lack of people to go on, or surrender to Microsoft.

AI is not just a ”tech-issue”. It is an issue of immense importance for humankind – and in that arena, a deeply consequential battle is right now being played out before the eyes of the global public.

“Your government is currently negotiating a Pandemic Treaty with the WHO!

If it signs it, the WHO will be placed above the Constitution of your Country, and not only you, but also your Government and your Parliament will lose ALL Freedom of Choice.

Who controls the WHO controls the World. The only reasonable 100% effective and safe prevention of another criminal Plandemic is the immediate smashing of the WHO into a thousand pieces.”

My name is Thomas Binder. I studied medicine in Zurich, obtained a doctorate in immunology and virology, specialized in internal medicine and cardiology, and the 35 years of experience in diagnosis and therapy of acute respiratory infections in hospitals, in intensive care units and in my private practice,

There has NEVER been a pandemic of a killer virus.

There was a plandemic of cowards…

and do we doctors see a pandemic of severe illnesses and of sudden unexpected deaths from heart attack, myocarditis, aortic dissection, stroke and pulmonary embolism, thrombosis and the inflammation of all organs, the spatial of brain and spinal chords, disseminated inter-vascular coagulation, increased infections including CoVID, due to immuno-suppression, cancer, autoimmune diseases, infertility, miscarriage and many more.

The mRNA Vaccine

This modified RNA genocide is the greatest medical crime in human history, a humanitarian disaster of unprecedented proportions.

Currently, the pharmaceutical industry is working on transferring all vaccinations to the modified RNA vaccine platform. It is doing so, though just being able to count and to distinguish foreign from self, even having a trace of intelligence, is enough to realize that the modified RNA vaccine platform is totally nonsensical and life threatening.

Its two fundamental flaws are the injection of the construction plan, for a protein foreign to the body, without having any control over which body cells will produce it, in what dose and for how long. And the fact that it goes on to produce this foreign protein which will be mistakenly recognized by our immune system as foreign, thus destroyed… much like the rejection of a foreign organ transplanted into you.

The alleged modified RNA vaccination coerces your body to produce a toxin in unknown doses and for an unknown period of time, and literally transforms parts of you “into an Alien”.

Therefore, the entire modified RNA vaccine platform MUST BE BANNED IMMEDIATELY!

Your government is currently negotiating a Pandemic Treaty with the WHO!

If it signs it, the WHO will be placed above the Constitution of your Country, and not only you, but also your Government and your Parliament will lose ALL Freedom of Choice.

Who controls the WHO controls the World. The only reasonable 100% effective and safe prevention of another criminal plandemic is the immediate smashing of the WHO into a thousand pieces.

Dear Fellow Humans, if you have been injected once, or even several times, and perhaps even suffer from severe side effects of the modified RNA injections, do not despair. More and more responsible doctors are willing to help you… and more and more responsible scientists are researching for, one day, being able to treat even their most complex side effects.

I think with the modified RNA injections it is like with smoking; It is almost never too late to give it up and to live healthier.

Whether you were injected or not… Wake Up!

Give your spine a booster.

Stand up and tell the manufacturers, your alleged experts, your governments, your parliamentarians, your generals and your authorities, who have from the point of view of the populace, totally failed in the CoVID scandal, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!”

Step back at last and then stand in courts. Do this and do this if not for yourself, then for a future worth living, for your children and grandchildren NOW!

Kennedy Assassination: The Greatest Conspiracy Ever Conceived

November 22nd, 2023 by Chaitanya Davé

***

60 years ago, the world learned with horror that charismatic, young president of America was brutally murdered.

The greater tragedy was that it was the U.S. government that carried out this heinous act.

As years went by, hundreds of books were written about it. With the hard work of countless investigators, those who refused to be swayed away by the Warren Commission Report, realized that our own government was deeply involved in this despicable murder that shocked the world.

Right after the assassination, vice-president Lyndon Johnson was sworn in as the president. He appointed the Warren Commission with chief justice Earl Warren in charge. Warren Commission later came out with an 889-page report declaring that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman who killed Kennedy.

Image: Source: TheFreeThoughtProject.com

Unfortunately, this was the biggest cover up of a crime of this magnitude. Many experts as well as ordinary witnesses who were present at the scene as well as at the postmortem of the dead president realized that Warren Commission had lied to the public. All the evidence pointed to more than one gunman, which meant a conspiracy.

Here are some of the facts which proved that Lee Harvey Oswald was not the gunman and there were more than one gunmen who carried out this brutal murder:

At 10:30 a.m. on November 22, 1963, Dallas Sheriff Bill Decker held a meeting in preparation for the president’s visit to Dallas that day. Decker had called together all his deputies, about one hundred of them. That included the plainclothes men and detectives who were especially important to the president’s safety—as Texas was a dangerous place for this president at that time—as he passed through the streets of Dallas. Decker gave his assembled officers an unusual order. He said they “were to take no part whatsoever in the security of the presidential motorcade.” This was just two hours before the president’s assassination at the Dealy Plaza. Decker had withdrawn the Dallas County component of President Kennedy’s security at the motorcade’s most vulnerable location only a few feet away. The hairpin turn from Houston to Elm Street would slow the limousine to a crawl, making the president almost stationary target for the crossfire from many possible angles. It was almost a sniper’s gallery presenting a tremendous challenge for security police. The withdrawal of Kennedy’s security made Dealy Plaza the ideal ambush site, set up with the help of those responsible for the president’s protection.

Like Sheriff Bill Decker, Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry gave a critical order that would also keep his officers away from Dealy Plaza during the president’s perilous passage through it. Curry told his officers “To end supervision of Friday’s crowd at Houston Street and Main, a block short of the ambush, on the ground that traffic would begin to thin out there. Later, in his book, JFK Assassination File, Chief Curry pointed out that he was simply following the orders of the Secret Service. In short, Curry and Decker were carrying out orders from the Secret Service.

The same way, motorcycle officers were ordered not to ride on the side of the presidential motorcade. Other officers who were supposed to ride standing on the side of the limousine holding the handrails-which could have blocked the shooters’ view of the president—were ordered not to ride on the side of the limousine. Thus, the president was laid bare for the shooters to ambush from the Grassy Knoll.

There were six seconds to shoot the president with a telescopic rifle from the 6^th floor window of the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD). With one exception, no expert gunmen could shoot four bullets within six seconds with the kind of rifle Lee Oswald had. And Oswald was not a good marksman.
As author James Douglass rights in his excellent book, JFK: The Unspeakable, According to The Warren Report’s record of Oswald’s interrogation, when he was asked “what part of the building he was in at the time the president was shot,” “he said that he was having his lunch about that time on the second floor.” Oswald added that “he went to the second floor where the Coca Cola machine was located and obtained a bottle of Coca Cola for his lunch.”

A key witness, whose testimony was covered up by the FBI, placed Oswald in fact in the second-floor lunchroom (where the Coca Cola machine was located) at 12:15 p.m.

Carolyn Arnold was the secretary to the Depository vice president. She knew Oswald because he was in the habit of stopping by her desk on the second floor, asking her for a change in nickels and dimes. In an interview with Dallas reporter Earl Golz, Arnold said “she saw Oswald in the second-floor lunchroom as she was on her way out of the depository to watch the presidential motorcade Nov. 22, 1963.”

Arnold author Anthony Summers the time of her seeing Oswald was “about 12:15. It may have been slightly later.” She told Earl Golz she actually left the building at 12:15 p.m., few minutes before the president was shot. She went inside again as she had a craving for a glass of water as she was pregnant. As she went into the lunchroom, to quench her thirst, she saw Oswald having his lunch. In retrospect, it was her most memorable experience in an unforgettable way day.

“I do not recall that he (Oswald) was doing anything,” she said. I just recall that he was sitting there in one of the booth seats on the right-hand side of the room as you go in. He was alone as usual and appeared to be having lunch. I did not speak to him but I recognized him clearly.”

The motorcade was running late. The president was scheduled to pass the Depository at 12:25 p.m., ten minutes after Carolyn Arnold saw Oswald sitting in the booth seat on the second-floor lunchroom. If an assassin planned to shoot President Kennedy from sixth-floor window at 12:25, would he have been sitting in the second-floor lunchroom at 12:15?

Kennedy was shot at 12:30 PM., supposedly from the 6th floor south-east window of TSBD.

There are many other discrepancies in the Warren Report. The report dismissed many witnesses whose testimony proved that there were more than one shooter and Oswald was not the shooter.

Neck Wound: Kennedy’s neck had an original bullet entrance wound. But by the time final postmortem was done, his neck wound was altered to make it look like an exit wound as if this bullet came from the back, supposedly from TSBD. The entrance wound in the neck means he was also shot from the front, which means there were more than one shooter. This means it was a conspiracy. So, the conspirators had to hide this fact.
Grassy Knoll: As the presidential limousine made a left turn on the elm street, it passed by the grassy knoll which was on its right side. Many witnesses saw two men hiding behind the wooden fence at the grassy knoll. Other witnesses saw and heard shots coming from the grassy knoll. The most fatal shot to the president’s head (from right-side) came from the grassy knoll according to several witnesses. This was the shot which blew President Kennedy’s head and a big chunk of his brain flew in the back of his motorcade. Here the president was shot from front right side. Another proof of the conspiracy of more than one shooter.
Car Speed: As the presidential limousine made a right turn on the Elm Street, it slowed down considerably! This was intentional as that made the assassins’ work easier to shoot at the president.
Texas School Book Depository: Two Men Seen: Some witnesses saw two men at the south-east corner sixth floor window with rifles at the time of the shooting. This is where Oswald was supposed to have shot the president with three shots according to the Warren Report.
Officer J. D. Tippit Killing: As per the Warren Report, Oswald also shot and killed officer J.D. Tippit and then went to the theatre. In reality, several witnesses who lived and worked across the scene of the shooting, saw a man shooting Tippit and running away with a pistol who absolutely did not look like Oswald. Even the revolver bullet from Tippit’s body were different from Oswald’s revolver. And the witnesses who testified and spoke about this were later killed.
Postmortem: Against the law, the body of the dead president was forcefully taken away from Parkland Hospital where it was taken after he was shot dead. It was flown to Bethesda Naval Maryland Hospital at Bethesda, Maryland. The postmortem of the president’s body was privately done there. His wounds were altered to make it look like he was only shot from the rear to confirm to pre-decided narrative that he was shot from the rear from the 6^th floor window of TSBD by Oswald.

Basically, Oswald was just a patsy. Even Oswald himself said that when he was arrested. Oswald was made a scapegoat of this conspiracy to kill this president and massive cover-up of this heinous crime followed.

Oswald and CIA connection: Yes, Oswald did have a CIA connection. But his CIA connection did his undoing. The CIA found Oswald to be an ideal candidate to put the entire blame of this horrible crime on him. He was very cleverly set up as a patsy, a scapegoat. He was even given a job at the Texas School Book Depository a month before only. CIA used Mafia to try to assassinate Fidel Castro of Cuba. So, they had close connection in those years. Jack Ruby was a night club owner deeply connected with the Mafia He also was friends with Oswald.

Lyndon Johnson’s Involvement: Years later, Johnson’s mistress, reportedly said that the night before the assassination, Johnson told her that “The Kennedys will never embarrass me”. After the assassination, years later, she told that “one night when they were together, she asked Johnson if he was involved in the Kennedy assassination. She said, “Johnson got very upset with her.” After the assassination, Johnson played a major role in the cover-up of the conspiracy. After the reelection of Kennedy in 1964, Johnson knew that he would be dropped as the vice-President. He was soon going to be exposed for a huge corruption scandal. So, once he assumed the presidency, he was able to suppress all these things.

Oil Billionaires: It had become known that Kennedy was going to pass laws by which oil billionaires would have to pay substantial amount of taxes from their income. The night before the assassination, there took place a big party in Dallas supposedly attended by Lyndon Johnson, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, and oil billionaires of Texas at oil billionaire’s mansion. Once again, a week after the assassination, another big party was held at an oil billionaire’s mansion where champagne was served and the attendees laughed and enjoyed themselves.

At least 33 of many JFK assassination related witnesses died unnaturally within three years of the assassination. As Richard Blazer and David Wayne write in their book, “Hit List”, all the witnesses—who spoke out or were to testify to Warren Commission or to Jim Garrison the New Orlean’s Attorney Journal, and whose testimony will prove the existence of conspiracy–, related to the Kennedy assassination and the conspiracy were mysteriously murdered or were killed in an accident. The authors point out that according to an actuary hired by London Sunday Times, odds of 18 material witnesses dying within three years of the assassination were one-hundred-thousand-trillion-to-one! In reality, many more witnesses who had the critical information regarding the conspiracy mysteriously died or were killed.

Who Killed Kennedy and Why?

Several criminal entities decided to eliminate this president who they hated because of his policies.

Kennedy wanted to withdraw from Vietnam because he thought it was their war and didn’t want U.S. troops getting killed there. He had decided to pull out 1000 members of the U.S. military by the end of 1963, and all of them by the end of 1965. Kennedy’s decision to withdraw from Vietnam was part of a larger strategy for peace that he and Nikita Khrushchev had mutually committed to, which in Kennedy’s case would result in his death. Thomas Merton had seen it coming if Kennedy pursued peace. JFK agreed. He felt that his own demise was increasingly likely if he continued to buck his military advisers. Still, he proceeded to do exactly that. After vetoing the introduction of U.S. troops at the Bay of Pigs, he resisted the Joint Chief’s even more intense pressures to bomb and invade Cuba in the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. Then just ignored his military and CIA advisers by moving sharply towards peace in his American University address, his partial Test Ban Treaty with the Soviet Premier, and his quest for a dialogue with Fidel Castro. His October 1963 decision to withdraw from Vietnam once again broke the Cold War Rule of his National Security State. As Merton had predicted, Kennedy was going deeper in his pursuit of peace—and to its fatal consequences.
Thus, in his quest for peace, he was infuriating the Joint Chief, the Pentagon, and the CIA. JFK was appalled by the nuclear war. During one NSC meeting in the White House on July 20, 1961, General Hickey, chairman of the “Net Evaluation Subcommittee” of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, presented a plan for a nuclear surprise attack on the Soviet Union. Other presenters of this plan were General Lyman Lemnitzer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, CIA director Allen Dulles, Vice President Lyndon Johnson’s military aide, etc. Kennedy walked out of the meeting disgusted. Not only he was appalled by a general nuclear war, but his walkout was also in response to a more specific evil in his own ranks; U.S. military leaders were enlisting his support for a
plan to launch a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. Later in disgust, he told Dean Rusk, the Secretary of State, “And we call ourselves the human race!”
By refusing to give air-cover to the Cuban exiles who had invaded Cuba during the Bay of Pigs Crisis, he had made right wing Cuban exiles in Floria very angry.
As veteran journalist Seymour Hersh contended in his book, “The Dark Side of Camelot”, that money, muscle and influence of organized crime helped John Kennedy win the closely contested 1960 election. Further he writes that the Mafia was brought into the Kennedy presidential campaign—and helped the Democrats carry the key state of Illinois—mainly at the instigation of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr., founder of the family political dynasty.

One time Kennedy pal Frank Sinatra also played a part in enlisting the aid of organized crime chieftain Sam Giancana in the struggle for the White House against Republican Richard Nixon, Tina Sinatra, Sinatra’s daughter told Hersh.

But after the election, Kennedy’s younger brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy went after the Mafias and their crimes. This made the Mafia bosses very angry; They felt cheated. So, they were deeply involved in Kennedy’s assassination.

J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI chief, didn’t have good relations with Kennedy. After the 1964 election, Kennedy was going to replace Hoover and he knew that. So, Hoover too was involved in the JFK assassination.
The CIA director, Allen Dulles hated Kennedy whom he considered a pinko and an interloper. Kennedy had fired him from his post after the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Hence, Allen Dulles was another major player in the conspiracy to kill Kennedy.
Kennedy knew that the CIA was committing crimes around the world. So, once he had said, “I will splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the wind.” This clearly shows that Kennedy hated the CIA and its nefarious activities. Similarly, CIA’s high officials hated Kennedy and his peace seeking policies.
Right wing Cuban exiles who were involved in the failed invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs were captured and humiliated by Castro. As Kennedy refused to get involved by not giving them air-cover, they hated Kennedy.
Dallas Police were also involved in the conspiracy. Dallas mayor Earl Cabell who had been elected mayor of Dallas in May 1961, oversaw arrangements for Kennedy’s trip and motorcade, which took him through Dealy Plaza, a rout that violated almost all standard rules for the presidential safety—and where normal safeguards, such as sealing windows and placing sharpshooters were ignored. Mayor Cabell was a CIA asset. It is to be noted that Earl Cabell’s brother Charles left the CIA on January 31, 1962, after Kennedy forced him to resign.

JFK assassination was the result of a mind-boggling conspiracy hatched by a combination of people high in various institution of the country such as the CIA, FBI, Dallas Police Department, the Secret Service, oil billionaires and the Mafia. All these forces were stacked against a peace-loving young president whose only crime was he wanted to end the cold war with the Soviet Union, be friends with Cuba and thus protect the world from nuclear holocaust. But the “powers that be” didn’t like it. So, they got together, conspired, and brutally assassinated the president.

If our government can kill our own president, who can they not kill? Which leader or individual in our country or around the world is safe?

Unedited footage released Friday by House Speaker Mike Johnson is devastating the Democrat narrative that a violent insurrection unfolded at the US Capitol on Jan. 6.

Clips below, available at the CHA Oversight Subcommittee Reading Room, instead show Capitol Police officers gleefully shaking hands with, fist-bumping protesters and leading protesters through the halls of the Capitol.

Importantly, the videos do not show protesters violently attacking police officers, or by any means attempting to overthrow the election.

The protest was for the most part literally a mostly peaceful demonstration.

As previous footage has shown, in many cases police instigated the infamous Capitol riot by firing rubber bullets at otherwise peaceful protesters.

Reproductive Age Women Who Developed Sarcoma After Pfizer Or Moderna (12 Cases)

VAERS ID 1510243: 35 yo female, California, hepatic angiosarcoma 3 months after Moderna 2nd jab

VAERS ID 1797711: 15 yo female, New York, developed lumps near her groin and lower buttock that were diagnosed as rhabdomyosarcoma, 11 days after her 2nd Pfizer dose.

VAERS ID 1839199: 14 yo female, New Jersey, developed cough 14 days after 2nd Pfizer dose, was diagnosed with 3 tumors on lung, Ewing sarcoma.

VAERS ID 1913198: 13 yo female, Texas had Pfizer, 1 month later had upper back pain and diagnosed with epithelioid sarcoma.

VAERS ID 2051706: 13 yo female had 1st Pfizer mRNA, developed soft tissue sarcoma with unknown outcome.

VAERS ID 2139961: 47 yo female, had J&J May 21, 2021, on Jan.10, 2022 presented with recurrent metastatic uterine leiomyosarcoma

VAERS ID 2319530: 15 yo female, Texas, developed a rapidly growing sarcoma in the left breast that required mastectomy, happened 1.5 months after 1st Pfizer jab (had 1st Pfizer mRNA Aug. 25, 2021)

VAERS ID 2372072: 38 yo female, California, developed aggressively growing mass that was diagnosed as dedifferentiated retroperitoneal liposarcoma (extremely aggressive), 2 months after 2nd Pfizer jab.

VAERS ID 2397520: Female, California, had 1st Pfizer mRNA Mar.21, 2021, 8 months later was diagnosed with carcinosarcoma of uterus Stage 4.

VAERS ID 2613201: 47 yo female had 2nd Pfizer April 26, 2021. Presented on Sep. 12, 2021 with acute respiratory failure and leiomyosarcoma of abdomen.

VAERS ID 2694517: 52 yo Female had 1st Pfizer mRNA. Developed a cardiac mass, Grade 3 LA intimal spindle cell sarcoma.

My Take…

Pfizer & Moderna COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines cause aggressive cancers caused “Turbo Cancers”.

The top 5 most common are: lymphoma, glioblastoma, breast, colon and lung.

However, sarcomas are in the top 10 Turbo Cancers that are skyrocketing since COVID-19 Vaccines rolled out.

The fact that there are 12 VAERS reports of Turbo Cancer Sarcomas after Pfizer or Moderna mRNA Vaccine in reproductive age women (including one after she had a baby) is insane!

Pregnant women are at higher risk of developing Turbo Cancers and no one knows why. No one is studying this and no one is protecting them.

On October 25, 2023, I wrote an article on Turbo Breast Cancer in Pregnancy (20 cases). This is the second article in the series.

These articles on Turbo Cancer in Pregnancy, are “First in the World”.

I can write these articles because the largest organized crime ring in Canada that runs $23 billion/year Alberta Health Services (headed by Trudeau loyalists Francois Belanger and Verna Yiu – current University of Alberta Vice President) failed to silence me, after offering me a $400,000 bribe and a Non-Disclosure Agreement to sign, then threatening my family and my children and finally my Alberta medical license #023044, which I told them they can keep, along with their $400k bribe.

Israel and Its Allies Are Repurposing the Goals and Lies of 1948 – In Gaza in 2023

November 22nd, 2023 by Jonathan Cook

***

History is repeating itself – and every politician and establishment journalist is pretending they cannot see what is staring them in the face. There is a collective and wilful refusal to join the dots in Gaza, even when they point in one direction only.

There has been a consistent pattern to Israel’s behaviour since its creation 75 years ago – just as there has been a consistent pattern to the “see no evil, hear no evil” response of western powers.

In 1948, in events the Palestinians call their “Nakba”, or Catastrophe, 80 percent of Palestinians were ethnically cleansed from their lands in what became the self-declared Jewish state of Israel.

As Palestinians maintained at the time – and Israeli historians later confirmed from archival documents – Israel’s leaders lied when they said Palestinians had fled of their own volition, on the orders of neighbouring Arab states.

As the historians also discovered, Israeli leaders lied when they claimed that they had pleaded, first, with the 900,000 Palestinians inside the new state’s borders to stay and, later, with the 750,000 forced into exile to return home.

Rather, the archives showed that the new Israeli state’s soldiers had carried out terrible massacres to drive out the Palestinian population. The overall ethnic cleansing operation had a name, Plan Dalet.

Later, Israeli leaders even lied in minimising the number of Palestinian agricultural communities they had destroyed: there were more than 500 wiped from the face of the earth by Israeli bulldozers and army sappers. Paradoxically, this procedure was popularly known by Israelis as “making the desert bloom”.

Extraordinarily, reputable scholars, journalists and politicians in the West – those who dominate the mainstream conversation – ignored all this evidence of Israeli deceit and mendacity for decades, even after Israeli historians and archival documents supported the Palestinian account of the Nakba.

Various strategies were adopted to keep the truth out of view. Prominent observers continued peddling discredited Israeli talking points. Others threw up their hands, arguing that the truth could not be definitively determined. And yet more declared that, even if bad things had happened, there was blame enough to go round on both sides and that, anyway, it was an excellent thing the Jewish people had a sanctuary (even if Palestinians paid the price rather than the antisemites and genocidaires in Europe).

These defences started to crumble with the advent of social media and a digital world in which information could be disseminated more easily. Western elites hurriedly tried to shut down any critical discussion of the circumstances in which the state of Israel was birthed by labelling it as antisemitism.

Ever-shrinking space

All of this is the context for understanding the current “mainstream” debate about what’s happening in Gaza. We are seeing the same disconnect between actual events and the establishment’s crafting of a narrative to excuse Israel, except this time the deception and gaslighting are occurring while we, the audience, can see for ourselves the horrifying facts unfold in real time.

We don’t need historians to tell us what is going on in Gaza. It is live on television (or at least the more sanitised version is).

Let’s just recount the known facts.

Israeli officials have called for the eradication of Gaza as a place where Palestinians can live, and said all Palestinians are viewed as legitimate targets for Israel’s bombs and bullets.

Palestinians have been ordered out of the northern half of Gaza. Israel has attacked Gaza’s hospitals, the last sanctuaries for Palestinians in the north.

Gaza was already one of the most crowded places on Earth. But Palestinians have been forced into the southern half of the strip, where they are being subjected to a “complete siege” that denies them food, water and power. The UN warned last week that Gaza’s civilian population faced the “immediate possibility” of starvation.

Israel has now ordered Palestinians to leave much of the largest city in southern Gaza, Khan Younis. Palestinians are gradually being forced to huddle in the narrow corridor at Rafah, next to the border with Egypt. Some 2.3 million people are being packed into an ever-shrinking space.

The majority have no home to return to, even if Israel lets them head north. The schools, universities, bakeries, mosques and churches are mostly gone. Much of Gaza is a wasteland.

For years Israel has had a plan to drive Palestinians out of Gaza, across the border, into the Egyptian territory of Sinai.

Media Blindness

Even more so than in 1948, what Israel is doing is staring us in the face in real time. And yet, just as in 1948, Israel’s lies and deceptions dominate the West’s media and political narrative.

Israel is openly carrying out ethnic cleansing inside Gaza. Most genocide experts conclude it is carrying out genocide too. The goal in both cases is to cause another Great Ethnic Cleansing, driving Palestinians outside their homeland as happened in 1948 and again in 1967 under cover of war.

And yet neither of these terms – ethnic cleansing and genocide – are in the “mainstream” coverage of, and commentary about, Israel’s attack on Gaza.

We’re still told that this is about “eradicating” Hamas – something that very obviously cannot be achieved because you can’t eradicate an oppressed people’s determination to resist their oppressor. The more you oppress them, the more resistance you provoke.

The West is now trying to focus public attention on the “day after”, as though this wasteland can be governed by anyone, let alone the chronically weak, Vichy-style regime known as the Palestinian Authority.

It is astonishing to see that what was true in 1948 is equally true in 2023. Israel spreads lies and deceit. Western elites repeat those lies. And even when Israel commits crimes against humanity in broad daylight, when it warns in advance of what it is doing, Western establishments still refuse to acknowledge those crimes.

The truth, which should have been obvious long before, in 1948, is that Israel is not a peace-loving, liberal democracy. It is a classic settler colonial state, following in a long “Western” tradition that led to the founding of the United States, Canada and Australia, among others.

Settler colonialism’s mission is always the same: to replace the native population.

A Defining Moral Cause

After its mass ethnic cleansing operations of 1948 and 1967, Israel tried to manage the remaining Palestinian population through the traditional apartheid model of herding the natives into reservations, as its predecessors did with the remnants of the “locals” who survived their efforts at extermination.

Any caution on Israel’s part derived from the different political climate it had to operate in: international law became more central after World War Two, with clear definitions of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The West wilfully mischaracterises Israel’s process of dispossessing and ghettoising these remaining Palestinians as a “conflict” because they refuse to submit quietly to the apartheid, ghettoisation model.

Now, Israel’s management approach to the Palestinians has broken down completely – for two main reasons.

First, the Palestinians, aided by new technologies that have made it more difficult to keep them out of view, have attracted ever widening popular support – and most problematically, among Western publics.

The Palestinians have also managed to bring their cause to international forums, even gaining recognition as a state by a majority of members of the United Nations. Potentially, they even have redress in the West’s international legal institutions, like the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice.

As a result, subduing the Palestinians – or maintaining “calm”, as Western establishments prefer to call it – has become more and more difficult and expensive.

And second, on October 7, Hamas proved that Palestinian resistance cannot be contained even under a siege enforced by drones, and an Iron Dome interception system protecting Israel from retaliatory rockets. In such circumstances, Palestinians have shown they will seek surprising and creative ways to break out of their confinement and bring their oppression into the spotlight.

In fact, given the West’s dulled sensitivities to Palestinian suffering, militant factions are likely to deduce that headline-grabbing atrocities – mirroring Israel’s own historic approach to the Palestinians – are the only way to gain attention.

Israel understands that the Palestinians are going to continue being a thorn in its side, a reminder that Israel is not a normal state. And the struggle to correct Israel’s decades of dispossessing and brutalising Palestinians will become ever more a defining moral cause among Western publics, as the fight against apartheid South Africa once was.

So Israel is taking advantage of this moment to “finish the job”. The final destination is clearly in view, as, in truth, it has been for more than seven decades. The crime is unfolding step by step, the pace quickening. And yet senior politicians and journalists in the West – like their predecessors – continue to be blind to it all.
