Subject:
The Trajectory of Wars, Domestic and Foreign, 2023: oppositions, contradictions,
and paradoxes.
Grenoble
January 10, 2022
Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
In this topsy-turvy world at war, the chaos
experienced by the individual ushers in a disorientation that is sometimes fatal.
The various views expressed in the
Anglophone social media represent departure points to
embark on conversations and debates. The technology today, has ensconced us
snugly in front of our screen, usually a small window that we carry around with
us, hypnotically holding it before our nose and listening to a voice within
(the machine). This technology has amplified the social alienation that capitalist
society produces, in the wake of profit-seeking activities and cynical manipulations.
The dictatorial powers of corporate capitalists are
absolute, and no human sacrifice is deemed too great to pay for the success of
corporate investors. Who has the most to lose? is one
important question rarely asked; and who has the most to gain? is another.
I recently finished André Gide’s volume, Journals
1889-1949. I found it to be a remarkably candid diary of the life of a
mostly apolitical literary figure, who happened to
live during the unprecedented turmoil of 20th-century industrial warfare,
the harbinger of things to come with monopoly capitalist development. In these 764 pages, Gide recounts his
insecurities, his confusions, and, above all, his determination to live his
life on his own terms. An openly gay member of the Protestant minority in
France, he exudes individualism, typical of 20th-century liberalism,
with its highs and lows. An example of this view is the entry in his diary on
September 27, 1940, where he evaluates the writing of another liberal author,
John Steinbeck, whose recent book, In Dubious Battle, had just been
translated into French.
Impeccable translation of a most remarkable book. If I were less tired, I
should enjoy praising it. But I could do so only at too great length. It is the
best (psychological) portrayal that I know of Communism, and perfectly lighted.
If it leaves the capitalist and bourgeois counterpart in the shadow, at least
it very cleverly gives one a glimpse of this in the dialogues, and that is
enough. The main character is the crowd; but from that amorphous and vague mass
there stand out various individuals in whom the variegated aspects of the
problem are set forth without the discussion’s ever cluttering and interrupting
the action. And likewise there stand out against the vast general movement, in
harmony or opposition with the great wave of common interests, the passions or
individual interests of the leaders or minor characters; and all this presented
so fairly that one cannot take sides for or against the flood of demands any
more than the author has done. The legitimacy of those demands, like the
outcome of the struggle itself, remains ‘dubious’. Especially dubious the legitimacy
of using treacherous means to bring about the triumph of even the most
legitimate cause. But Steinbeck reveals admirably (yet without demonstrating
anything) how those who are refused all other means of fighting are led and forced
to treachery, injustice, deliberate cruelty; and how the noblest and most
generous characters are distorted thereby. Whence the great
distress inherent throughout his beautiful and painful book.
When a certain stage of history is
reached, everything appears in the guise of a problem. And man’s responsibility
increases as that of the gods decreases.
It devolves upon man alone, in the final
reckoning, to solve all these problems which he alone has presumably raised.
12 October
Art inhabits temperate regions. And
doubtless the greatest harm this war is doing to culture is to create a profusion
of extreme passions which, by sort of inflation, brings about a devaluation of
all moderate sentiments. The dying anguish of Roland or the distress of a Lear stripped
of power moves us by its exceptional quality but loses its special eloquence
when reproduced simultaneously in several thousand copies. Isolated it is a
summit of suffering; in a collection, it becomes a plateau. I sympathize with
the individual; in the multitude I become bewildered. The exquisite becomes
banal, common. The artist does not know which way to turn, intellectually or
emotionally. Solicited on all sides and unable to answer all appeals, he gives
up, at a loss. He has no recourse but to seek refuge in himself
or to find refuge in God. This is why war provided religion with easy
conquests.
14 October
Certainly
I am making progress in German. And yet it does not seem to me that I am
reading Lotte in Weimar today much more
easily that I did Der Zauberberg
a few years ago.*
Oh why did I not put forth such an effort
in my early years! But at that time it seemed to me much more important to
taste life directly, to push away the screen of books and everything education interposed
that might hamper the sincerity and innocence of my vision. Was I wrong? I
cannot get myself to believe so. And even if I thought so, what could I do
about it? Nothing more useless than regrets.
_______
*Der Zauberberg (The Magic Mountain) appeard in German in 1924, and Lotte
in Weimar (The Beloved Returns) in 1939. Both novels are by Thomas Mann. (pp.657-659)
These were some
of André Gide’s reflections in the face of propaganda and psychological warfare
which arose after Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, and the so-called
“phony war” was declared by France
against Germany on September 3; the Battle of France, between 9 May and 22 June
1940, ended with the military defeat of France until May 8, 1945, when
liberation from German Nazi control was achieved. Like Jean Jaurès
before WW I, Gide differentiated the German people, and especially German high culture,
from the political ambitions of German leaders. Although he entertained no
political theory, he foresaw a unity of Germany and France with the rest of
Europe, through mutual advantages and strengths. Any demonization of the enemy was
far from his mind; even during the darkest years, he exhibited an earnestness
and integrity, looking for a “liberal solution” to the man-made problem at
hand. Obviously, he was overtaken by events which his individualism had not
prepared him to fully understand.
The 26+ items below include descriptions of only some of the bizarre human constructs and investments for which the 21st century world, while ill-prepared, is nevertheless expected to pay with their lives.

Francis McCollum Feeley

"Something Big Is on the Way"

by Mike

“The Russians have
decided there is no way to negotiate an end to this. No one will negotiate in
good faith; therefore we must crush the enemy. And that’s what’s coming.”
— Colonel Douglas MacGregor (9:35 minute)
“Strictly speaking, we
haven’t started anything yet.” — Vladimir Putin
The war in Ukraine is
not going to end in a negotiated settlement. The Russians have already made it
clear that they don’t trust the United States, so they’re not going to waste
their time in a pointless gabfest. What the Russians are going to do is pursue
the only option that is available to them: They are going to obliterate the
Ukrainian Army, reduce a large part of the country to rubble, and force the
political leadership to comply with their security demands. It’s a bloody and
wasteful course of action, but there’s really no other option. Putin is not
going to allow NATO to place its hostile army and missile sites on Russia’s
border.
He’s going to defend
his country as best as he can by proactively eliminating emerging threats in
Ukraine. This is why Putin has called up an additional 300,000 reservists to
serve in Ukraine; because the Russians are committed to defeating the Ukrainian
army and bringing the war to a swift end.

The High Cost of Blowing Up the

by Matthew Ehret-Kump
Bipartisan insanity was
on display again this week as the U.S. congress responded to Biden’s requested
$37 billion in additional aid to Ukraine by giving him $45 billion bringing the total U.S. support to its Davos-managed disposable ward up to $111 billion.
The aid was part of an
overall omnibus spending bill passed by both houses of Congress was a
gargantuan $1.7 trillion and included $858 billion in defense
spending which far exceeds any
sum ever spent by a U.S. government in history.
Of that $858 billion,
$817 billion is allocated directly to the U.S. Department of Defense while the
remaining $29 billion will be allocated to national security programs within
the department of energy.
Continuing to Weaponize Taiwan
2023 NDAA Funds will be
used to “strengthen” Taiwan in the Pacific with $12 billion authorized to assist Taiwan in purchasing weapons from the U.S. military
industrial complex (with the $12 billion in ‘loans’ needing to be paid back
over the course of the next five years of course). Of this fund, $100 million
will be given directly to contractors to fill up a “contingency stockpile” to
be used by Taiwan “in case of any future conflict”.

Spies and More Lies Add Confusion
to the Ukraine Conflict
https://www.globalresearch.ca/spies-more-lies-add-confusion-ukraine-conflict/5803600
by Philip Giraldi
As has frequently been the
case in America’s recent wars, in Ukraine a largely hidden clandestine conflict
is paralleling the actual fighting on the ground. One should assume that a
variety of western spies using various kinds of cover are operating at all
levels as well as in adjacent areas in Poland and the Baltic states. The
Russians certainly have their own informants inside the Ukrainian government
itself and Kiev has proven itself capable of carrying out so-called covert
actions in Moscow, to include the car bombing assassination of Darya Dugin on August 20th. At the same time, the
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Britain’s MI-6 are known to be working
assiduously to collect information that suggest vulnerabilities in the Russian
offensive capabilities while also seeking to identify those potentially recruitable individuals who do not support President
Vladimir Putin’s intervention to liberate Donbas. The activities of spies
and the agents that they direct should be considered a major part of the
overall war effort by both sides.
Recently there have been
some interesting articles revealing what some of the spies and their political
masters have been up to over the past six months. Bear in mind, however, that
the business of spying is 50% dissimulation to conceal what is actually taking
place, so what the various intelligence services have been revealing is more
than likely to include at least some deliberate misdirection. One recalls how
in February 1981 Bill Casey, the new CIA Director appointed by President Ronald
Reagan, famously quipped “We’ll know our Disinformation Program is complete when everything the
American public believes is false.”
If the quote is accurate,
Casey would probably be delighted to see the massive propaganda effort carried
out by the Joe Biden White House to initiate and sustain a proxy war against
Russia that was completely avoidable and serves no national interest beyond
testing how one can restart the Cold War complete with threats of nuclear
annihilation. And one should observe that Casey might well have been delivering
a subtler message within his apparently off-the-cuff comment. He might have
been suggesting that no one should trust anything coming out of the mouth of a
high government official, particularly if that official is an intelligence
officer.
With that in mind, it was
interesting to read an account of some recent remarks delivered in London by
the head of MI-5, Ken McCallum. McCallum is no fool and his comments
clearly were intended on one level to reinforce the message that the British
government is taking good care of national security. In other words, he
intended to spin a narrative that would reassure a public that has become
increasingly concerned over the course of the Ukraine war and the possible
painful consequences derived from British direct involvement in it.
What McCallum is
selling is a suggestion that the Ukraine war is actually good for national
security because it has enabled the
expulsion of hundreds of Russian intelligence officers all over Europe. CNN’s story
on MI-5’s annual assessment of the state of Britain’s security describes how
the Kremlin’s “…ability to spy in Europe has been dealt the ‘most significant
strategic blow’ in recent history after coordinated expulsions of [Russian]
diplomats since the invasion of Ukraine, with a hundred diplomatic visa
requests refused in the UK alone in recent years.”

We are not a good and

combat and the Disneyfied version of combat consumed
by the public, one that propels many young men and women into war, creates not
only dissonance and moral injury, but an existential crisis, an existential
crisis combat veterans, at least those who are self-reflective, must cope with
for the rest of their lives.

Pfizer Has a Shockingly Long
History of Engaging in Illegal Activities and Human Experimentation
by Arsenio Toledo
Big Pharma
company Pfizer has repeatedly engaged in inhumane and
illegal activities in its history, including acts of fraud, corruption and even human experimentation disguised as vaccine trials.
An investigative
journalist writing about censored subjects under the pseudonym “Kanekoa the Great” noted on his Substack
blog that one of the greatest cultural transformations to occur in the past
nearly three years is the complete rehabilitation of the image of Big Pharma companies and their newfound glorification for supposedly
being responsible for saving humanity from the Wuhan coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic.
“An industry plagued by
decades of fraud, corruption and criminality managed to quickly rebrand itself
as the savior of humanity during the COVID-19 crisis. But nothing inherently
changed. Big Pharma still values shareholders’
profits more than people’s lives,” Kanekoa the
Great wrote. (Related: Pfizer’s business model is to create the sickness and
sell the “cure.”)
For evidence of
Pfizer’s history of engaging in illegal activity that leads to the deaths of
hundreds, Kanekoa the Great said to look no further
than Nigeria.

Top Japanese Physician-Scientist
Gives Dire Warning About COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines: ‘Scientifically Misconceived’
Dr. Masanori Fukushima, a professor emeritus at Kyoto University, presented
a warning on November 25, 2022, at an event organized by Kazuhisa Ukawa, a concerned private citizen. Apparently on the
agenda were concerns involving discrimination against the unvaccinated in Japan
as well as an ever-growing list of persons reporting injuries associated with
the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. In what frankly can be described as a bombshell
acknowledgment given the pedigree of this physician-scientist in Japanese
medical research circles, Fukushima declared that “the harm caused by vaccines
is now a worldwide problem” and that “given the wide range of adverse events,
billions of lives could ultimately be in
danger.” Is this just reactionary hyperbole of a bitter critic or a prescient
signal to be taken very seriously?
Involved with the
Foundation for Biomedical Research and Innovation and the Translational
Research Center for Medical Innovation, the infectious disease expert
(Fukushima) has been an oncologist with over 25 years of experience in practice
and research, including ongoing reform of Japan’s medical care system.
A big proponent of
clinical research, Fukushima has actively
contributed to building the clinical trial infrastructure, with a focus on
translational research. In this recent video of the conference uploaded
to Rumble Fukushima told the audience that “Vaccine
damage now represents a global problem. Billions of lives at
possible risk.” But could this be true? Does this include some
hyperbolic alarmism?
What does the
physician-scientist share during this conference?
He starts out by saying
that “this vaccine was scientifically misconceived. So, in 2020 I immediately
translated the Chinese guidelines as soon as they arrived from China to use
steroids as appropriately as possible.” He emphasized he made such a proclamation
but that such messaging fell on deaf ears.
Complimenting Japan’s
excellent doctors, the prominent physician-scientist emphasized that once he
released unfolding guidelines involving early care with the use of drugs such
as steroids, the death rate [in Japan] dropped dramatically before the vaccine.
Harboring some clear resentment, Fukushima declared, “So anyone inciting this
vaccine without any academic acumen is to be condemned.”
Then comes
the Fukushima bombshell: “The harm caused by vaccines is now a worldwide
problem. Here is my article recently published. Shall we read it? Given the
large number of people who have received vaccinations and given the wide range
of adverse events, billions of lives could ultimately be in danger.”
What is Dr. Fukushima
demanding?

Covid-19 Vaccines Lead to New
Infections and Mortality: The Evidence is Overwhelming
by Gérard Delépine
This article
demonstrates unequivocally that mortality and morbidity has increased
dramatically as a result of the vaccine. The incidence of Covid
positive cases has also increased.
“And everywhere they
have been followed by a dramatic rise in new infections and mortality for
several weeks or months”
Dr Delépine
carefully analyses the pre and post vaccine trends for 14 countries in major
regions of the World.
The latest official
figures (September 15, 2021) point to
approximately:
40,666 mRNA
vaccine reported and registered deaths in the EU, UK and US (combined) and
6.6 Million reported “adverse events”.
But only a small
fraction of the victims or families of the deceased will go through the
tedious process of reporting vaccine related deaths and adverse events to the
national health authorities.
Those death and injury
figures (EU, UK, US) SOFAR are at least ten times higher than the
official reported cases.
410,000 deaths, 66
million injuries out of a population of approximately
850 million.
Moreover, the health
authorities are actively involved in obfuscating the deaths and injuries
resulting from the mRNA “vaccine”, while inflating the number of Covid-19
related deaths. (“autopsies not required”).
Ironically, not only
does Pfizer have a criminal record with the US Department of
Justice for “fraudulent marketing”, the EU Commission has chosen Pfizer BioNTech
as its “Reliable Partner” for the production of 1.8 billion doses over the next 3-4 years, in a
contract which is currently under negotiation.

mRNA/DNA Gene
Injection “Vaccine”: Murder Charges against Pfizer, Moderna,
FDA, CDC,NIH, NIAID
by Dr. Paul
Elias Alexander
What you need for murder charge to stick is below in
my substacks; he ‘died’ on the field, they are lying
about commotio cordis, they
killed him with this deadly gene vaccine they made Chauvin 2.0
Every single NFL player (or athlete in America) must
be screened for myocarditis (post COVID gene
injection); they must demand it! Do not take the field for you could be DAMAR!
Do not let them lie to you and confuse you with commotio
cordis!
It is time to lay murder charges on Pfizer, Moderna, CDC, NIH, FDA, NIAID, Fauci,
Francis Collins, Walensky, Ashish
Jha etc.
It is time. These beasts killed a black man openly on
live television and the black activists must step up now! Black live DO NOT
matter to these beasts like Pfizer et al., never did for public health people
like Fauci, so it is time we lay murder charges for
this time, they were actually at the scene of the crime with their murder
weapon. No trial even needed!
Blacks in America must stand up now.
The Biden administration is flooding the border with illegals from South America who with my own eyes, get
preference over blacks in New York and Buffalo. I imagine across the US. I saw
sitting shocked in hospitals how whites and blacks are sidelined and sent to
the back over illegals from South America. This is
wrong. The assault with this vaccine that acts like a biological weapon of
sorts, delivers differential morbidity and mortality on minorities. Blacks must
stand up! They killed a black man on national television. This is too much ‘in
your face’.
They are telling us, me, McCullough etc. to STFU, that
we who are asking the right questions as to what went wrong here, we must STFU.
That we are loons. We are loons? Had it not been for
people like me across this 3 years of lockdown lunacy,
millions more would have died. People like Risch,
McCullough, Oskoui, Jeff Tucker, Wolf, Ladapo, Urso, Berenson, Toby,
Kirsch, Bridle, Tenenbaum etc. We were the wall while
public health officials at CDC and NIH and FDA and the FDA sold us down the
river. We ‘held’ and will continue to hold as more warriors step up.
I say under NO condition will we.
Yes, they killed him, they killed DAMAR and know it and we will continue to go
after them for we want all who did this, who brought this fraud so called
vaccine, this entire pandemic fraud, all of it from lockdowns to the fraud
vaccine, properly deposed in proper legal settings, proper tribunals with
proper judges and we want accountability and justice. If judges rule that all
of their money is to be taken, we take it. If judges rule those involved must
be imprisoned, at the highest levels of government, we jail them for life. We
lock them up! If judges rule capital punishment is the remedy, we seek the
death penalty! Does not matter to me who.
They killed a black man, they stopped his heart in
front of you, stopped his breathing with their death shot. DAMAR died for 10
minutes. From all we know so far. New reports indicate they had to bring him
back to life in the hospital too.
They committed murder on live national television
during an NFL game! They killed a black man! Their gun, weapon of choice was a mRNA/DNA gene injection ‘so called vaccine’. They know it.
They know we are beginning to grapple with it and ask the right questions and
they know the players on that field who cried, they cried out of love and
horror for their teammate, yet they cried too because they know they are juiced
up with the gene fraud injection and they know that that means, the bell may
toll for thee too! Soon.
We want the congressional black caucus in the US
congress to stand up now and defend this black American, DAMA HAMLIN, do the
right thing, get accountability and not just for him and his family, but for
all Americans, for all the other NFL players. We want the NAACP to stand up.
You say you seek justice, you did not get it before,
now here is your chance!
Pfizer placed their criminal corporate boot, with CDC
and FDA and NIH and NIAID and Fauci and Francis
Collins and Walensky and Albert Bourla
and Bancel, all of them, their placed their
money-hungry power-hungry malfeasant boot on the neck of DAMAR HAMLIN, this is
Derek Chauvin once again, Pfizer is Derek Chauvin with it’s
boot on the neck of George Floyd,
this time George is DAMAR. Yes, DAMAR like George Floyd,
could not breathe for 10 minutes, “I can’t breathe”. Pfizer took the life of an
African American man on live national television.
Yes, I am saying it plainly, the Pfizer gene injection
mRNA/DNA vaccine, unless we are shown otherwise, based on all the uncertainty
still, and based on all the unanswered questions, but based on all we DO know,
was the murder weapon that killed DAMAR HAMLIN. Yes, thank God for the medical
response but he died for 10 minutes in front of us. And we know the killer. We
know all involved, the DIRTY DOZEN.
Yes Pfizer and Moderna did
the unthinkable, they murdered DAMAR HAMLIN, a Black African-American man as
you watched, on national television, for they, their actions, their product,
the COVID gene injection caused his heart to quit on him and he suddenly fell
in cardiac arrest, in your face. They stopped his heart for 10 minutes we were
told, and then began the cover up and lie on national television too and even
sent out their television talking head dangerous deceitful corrupted medical
doctors and media to lie about commotio cordis. They know the chance of this being commotio cordis is slim. They
know it happens in children mainly, they know generally using a ball etc.
They know that this is more than likely ‘silent’
vaccine-induced myocardial scarring (from prior COVID injection) that lead to a
high-adrenaline (catecholamine) arrhythmia episode causing cardiac
arrest. They know that the catecholamine surge due to exertion in the
backdrop of a myocardial damaged heart, can stress the
heart and cause cardiac arrest.
They know! Fauci, Walensky, Bourla, Bancel, Ashish Jha, Francis Collins, Baric, Hotez,
Wen, Njoo, Tam etc. They
know! They know this will be repeated over and over! They know it already has
been playing out! They know what will happen to many young persons and infants
and children due to the COVID gene injection.
You want to shut me up for asking the right questions,
NEVER! The record is now in place. Criminal charges must be laid at the feet of
Pfzier and Moderna, along
with CDC, NIH, FDA, Fauci, Birx,
Walensky, Francis Collins, Ashish
Jha, Bourla, Bancel etc. Murder charges!
I say murder charges!

A ‘Cover-Up of Evidence of Mass
Murder’: The CDC Appears to be Removing VAERS Records
by DailyClout
Something strange is
going on with the VAERS system. Reports that were present three months ago
are now inexplicably missing. And fewer than 4% of adverse events recorded in V-Safe have
made their way to VAERS. This is the CDC’s database; Dr. Rochelle Walensky is in charge of it. And the agency’s failure to
properly manage VAERS
is suppressing the already-alarming safety signal of the Covid-19 shots.
Now, what is VAERS? VAERS stands
for Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. As
mentioned earlier, VAERS is a database put in place in 1990 under the
supervision of the CDC. Reports of suspected vaccine adverse events take about
half an hour to fill out, and 86% of the time, this is done by a doctor, nurse,
paramedic, coroner, or healthcare professional when he or she believes the
adverse event is related to a vaccine reaction. And because of its lengthy
report process as well as the lack of awareness of the existence of VAERS,
there is a general consensus of a severe underreporting
factor for this database.
To get a better idea of
what’s going on with the CDC’s handling of the VAERS system, Dr. Naomi Wolf
spoke with Dr. Henry Ealy, an expert on the database.
Dr. Henry Ealy is the Founder & Executive Community Director for
the Energetic Health Institute. He holds a Doctorate in naturopathic medicine and
has been at the tip of the spear on the Grand Jury front — taking action to
bring forth a Grand Jury investigation of the CDC for allegations of criminal data fraud and
willful misconduct.

Herman Gref is CEO of Russia’s largest bank, Sber.
He is also a former WEF board of trustees member who wrote the preface to the
Russian-language edition of Klaus Schwab’s The Fourth Industrial

In 2020, Sber—which again, is a bank—played a central role in creating and
distributing Russia’s unproven genetic COVID slurry, Sputnik V.
Gref himself claims he got injected with this experimental AstraZeneca-inspired goo in April
2020—two months before clinical trials started.
For the last several years Sber—reminder: a bank—has
been busy developing AI and biometric technologies, with a special emphasis on
deploying these modern marvels in schools.
All normal people agree that Herman Gref is a
space lizard and must be stopped before it’s too late.
So imagine our surprise when Vladimir Putin applauded Gref’s
“pet project” for Russia while speaking at an AI conference hosted by the Sber CEO in November:

Bloodthirsty War “Experts” Say
Ukraine War Is A Bargain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzMSt4AlZiI
with Jimmy
Dore
(17:42)
In a recent piece
published by the Center for European Policy Analysis, economist Timothy Ash
makes the case that the mere $100 billion the United States has spent (so far)
on the Ukraine War has been totally worth it, mere “peanuts” actually, if the
objective of the war is to destroy the Russian economy and to debilitate its
military while sacrificing few, if any, American soldiers’ lives. The human
cost of the war, whether to the Ukrainian people, the Russian people, the
people in the rest of Europe or the Americans whose tax dollars are NOT being
spent to solve domestic problems, doesn’t seem to factor in for Ash.

How Joe Biden Is Slowly “Suiciding America’s Economy”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/how-joe-biden-slowly-suiciding-america-economy/5803668
by Eric Zuesse
Starting on 7 April 2023, a rule that Joe Biden’s U.S.
Commerce Department issued on 12 October 2022 will be fully in force,
outlawing, by U.S. Executive (President Biden’s) fiat, any U.S.-allied country
to engage in any commerce (buying or selling) with China that his
Administration considers to be (or potentially to be) related to either
artificial intelligence or supercomputing. He’s pretending to be the chief
executive officer not ONLY for the U.S. Government but for the entire planet —
all nations — the leader of the entire world’s government, replacing any
authority that the U.N. or any of its agencies might possess, and with
authority to replace international law by whatever he presents as being
“international rules.” Finally, his Administration’s many assertions that they
represent “the rules-based international
order” have
clear meaning: that phrase means whatever the U.S. regime wants it to mean.
Those “rules” replace whatever is, or might be, international laws (which is
the U.N.’s supposed — and exclusive — area of authority); and, (unlike whatever
authority the Truman-created version of the FDR-planned “United Nations” might
have possessed) this “rules-based international order” is backed up by the U.S.
military, which constitutes half of the entire world’s
military (with 1,649 military bases throughout the world, of which 900 are in foreign countries) and thus — as the physical enforcer of the U.S.
regime’s “international rules” — provides to it the enforcement-power that U.S.
President Truman refused to allow the U.N. to possess.
On 14 October 2022, the international law firm of
Crowell & Moring headlined “New U.S. Restrictions on
Transfers to China for Semiconductor and Advanced Computing Uses”, and reported that
“Two new rules announced by the U.S. Department of
Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) strive to severely inhibit
China’s progress in indigenously producing advanced semiconductors. Although
advanced semiconductors are widely used for commercial applications, BIS cited
serious concerns regarding China’s use of the technology for WMD and military
applications, and enabling human rights violations or abuses. BIS’ announcement
follows remarks in September by the U.S. National Security Advisor signaling a
shift in the U.S. export control strategy from one of maintaining a “relative”
advantage over competitors in certain key technologies, to maintaining “as
large a lead as possible.” It remains to be seen if U.S. allies
key to the semiconductor supply chain will impose similar export restrictions
on transfers to China. Following the announcement of the rules, BIS officials
have underscored the importance of multilateral adoption of the new currently
unilateral controls, describing engagement with allies as a “priority” for
BIS.”
‘WMD’ and ‘human rights violations and abuses’ are
the U.S. regime’s standard excuses for its aggressions against other countries,
either via sanctions or via coups or via invasions (such as was the case in
Iraq), but Crowell was also pointing out, to its clients, the real reason: that
“BIS’ announcement follows remarks in September by the U.S. National Security
Advisor signaling a shift in the U.S. export control strategy from one of
maintaining a ‘relative’ advantage over competitors in certain key
technologies, to maintaining ‘as large a lead as possible.’” In other words:
this action by Biden is intended to cripple China in artificial intelligence
and in supercomputing, so as to lock-in for the indefinite future the U.S.
regime’s global dominance, which will be necessary in order for the U.S. to
replace the U.N. and its international laws, by America’s (and its military’s)
“international rules” — such as by forcing the U.S. regime’s ‘allies’ or
vassal-nations to comply with them (in this instance, by dropping China as
regards supercomputing and AI).

with Chris Hedges
(31:39)
Over the
past 20 years, the Mediterranean Sea has become a graveyard as the EU’s brutal
“Fortress Europe” policies unleash brutal hostility against migrants and
refugees. While mainstream media has often sensationalized the problem as a
“migrant crisis” or “refugee crisis,” little scrutiny has been placed on the
role of Europe and other countries of the Global North in producing this crisis
of mass displacement through the War on Terror or the historic underdevelopment
of the former colonial world. Authors Helen Benedict and Eyan
Awwadawnan join The Chris Hedges Report to discuss their book, Map of Hope and Sorrow: Stories of Refugees
in Greece.
Helen Benedict is a novelist and journalist.
Her previous books include The Lonely Soldier: The Private War
of Women Serving in Iraq, and Wolf
Season.
Eyad Awwadawnan, formerly a law student from
Damascus, Syria, is a writer and poet currently living as an asylum-seeker in
Reykjavik, Iceland. During his four years in Greece, he worked as a cultural

Sudden Death: The No. 1 Cause of
Death for Under 65s in 2021
by Dr. Joseph Mercola
Story at-a-glance
- Mounting evidence shows the COVID shots are destroying
people’s immune systems and are triggering turbo-charged cancers
- A survey by Steve Kirsch found sudden death is the No.
1 cause of death among those under the age of 65 who got the COVID jab
- Myocarditis as a cause of death is now registering across all age
ranges but only for the vaccinated. Cardiac-related deaths are also
significantly elevated among younger people (under 65) who got the jab
compared to their unjabbed peers
- Recent research shows repeated jabs trigger a switch in
the types of antibodies your body produces and lower your ability to clear
viruses. By switching from spike-specific neutralizing IgG
antibodies to IgG4 antibodies, your body switches from tumor suppression
mode into tumor progression mode
- In addition to the potential for cancer cells to run
amok, IgG4 dominance may also have severe autoimmune implications, as the
COVID jab spike protein share similarities with human proteins

Destroys the Weakest and Poorest

COVID-19 has been called the great

globalists while decimating the lives of the rest
·
Certain comorbidities
significantly raise your risk of complications and death from COVID-19. Among
the top ones are obesity, insulin resistance and vitamin D deficiency
·
While the media and political and

universal mask use and there’s even less scientific support for lockdowns

for unemployment due to pandemic lockdowns, 29 new billionaires were created.

COVID-19
has been called the great equalizer, but nothing could be further from the
truth. The disease clearly affects certain groups far worse than others, and
the countermeasures implemented to quell the outbreak have been a phenomenal
boon for wealthy globalists while decimating the livelihood, and perhaps even
the will to live, of the average person. As reported by IPS News:1
“According
to the latest ILO reports,2 as job losses
escalate due to lockdowns, nearly half of the global workforce is at risk of
losing livelihoods, access to food and the ability to survive.
The
World Economic Forum states that ‘With some 2.6 billion people around the world
in some kind of lockdown, we are conducting arguably the largest psychological
experiment ever.’3
As
governments and corporations tighten political authoritarianism4 and
technological surveillance, curtailing privacy and democratic protest, much of
humanity is succumbing to anxiety, depression and a sense of powerlessness.”

Why
China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) Is Back with a Bang
Map of BRI
(Photo Credit: The Cradle)
https://www.globalresearch.ca/why-china-belt-road-initiative-bri-back-bang/5803964
by Pepe
Escobar
As Beijing’s Belt and Road
Initiative enters its 10th year, a strong Sino-Russian geostrategic partnership
has revitalized the BRI across the Global South.
The year 2022 ended with a Zoom call to end all Zoom calls:
Presidents Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping discussing
all aspects of the Russia-China strategic partnership in an exclusive video
call.
Putin told Xi how “Russia and China
managed to ensure record high growth rates of mutual trade,” meaning “we will
be able to reach our target of $200 billion by 2024 ahead of schedule.”
On their coordination to “form a
just world order based on international law,” Putin emphasized how “we share
the same views on the causes, course, and logic of the ongoing transformation
of the global geopolitical landscape.”
Facing “unprecedented pressure and
provocations from the west,” Putin noted how Russia-China are
not only defending their own interests “but also all those who stand for a
truly democratic world order and the right of countries to freely determine
their own destiny.”
Earlier, Xi had announced that
Beijing will hold the 3rd Belt and Road Forum in 2023. This has been
confirmed, off the record, by diplomatic sources. The forum was initially
designed to be bi-annual, first held in 2017 and then 2019. 2021 didn’t happen
because of Covid-19.
The return of the forum signals not
only a renewed drive but an extremely significant landmark as the Belt and Road
Initiative (BRI), launched in Astana and then Jakarta in 2013, will be
celebrating its 10th anniversary.
BRI version 2.0
That set the tone for 2023 across
the whole geopolitical and geoeconomic spectrum. In
parallel to its geoconomic breadth and reach, BRI has
been conceived as China’s overarching foreign policy concept up to the
mid-century. Now it’s time to tweak things. BRI 2.0 projects, along its several
connectivity corridors, are bound to be re-dimensioned to adapt to the post-Covid environment, the reverberations of the war in
Ukraine, and a deeply debt-distressed world.
And then
there’s the interlocking of the connectivity drive via BRI with the
connectivity drive via the International North South Transportation Corridor
(INTSC), whose main players are Russia, Iran and India.
Expanding
on the geoeconomic drive of the Russia-China
partnership as discussed by Putin and Xi, the fact that Russia, China, Iran and
India are developing interlocking trade partnerships should establish that
BRICS members Russia, India and China, plus Iran as one of the upcoming members
of the expanded BRICS+, are the ‘Quad’ that really matter across Eurasia.
The new
Politburo Standing Committee in Beijing, which are
totally aligned with Xi’s priorities, will be keenly focused on solidifying
concentric spheres of geoeconomic influence across
the Global South.

Will
Confucius Marry Marx? The Quest for Legitimacy in Chinese Politics
by Pepe
Escobar
Chinese scholar Lanxin Xiang has written a book, The Quest for Legitimacy in Chinese
Politics, that is
arguably the most extraordinary effort in decades trying to bridge the
East-West politico-historical divide.
It’s impossible in a brief column to
do justice to the relevance of the discussions this book inspires. Here we will
highlight some of the key issues – hoping they will appeal to an informed
readership especially across the Beltway, now convulsed by varying degrees of Sinophobia.
Xiang delves right into the
fundamental contradiction: China is widely accused by the West of lack of
democratic legitimacy exactly as it enjoys a four-decade, sustainable,
history-making economic boom.
He identifies two key sources for
the Chinese problem:
“On the one hand, there is the
project of cultural restoration through which Chinese leader Xi Jinping attempts to restore ‘Confucian legitimacy’ or the
traditional ‘Mandate of Heaven’; on the other hand, Xi refuses to start any
political reforms, because it is his top priority to preserve the existing political
system, i.e., a ruling system derived mainly from an alien source, Bolshevik
Russia.”
Ay, there’s the rub: “The two
objectives are totally incompatible”.
Xiang contends that for the majority
of Chinese – the apparatus and the population at large – this “alien system”
cannot be preserved forever, especially now that a cultural revival focuses on
the Chinese Dream.
Needless to add, scholarship in the
West is missing the plot completely – because of the insistence on interpreting
China under Western political science and “Eurocentric historiography”. What
Xiang attempts in his book is to “navigate carefully
the conceptual and logical traps created by post-Enlightenment terminologies”.
Thus his
emphasis on deconstructing “master keywords” – a wonderful concept straight out
of ideography. The four master keywords are legitimacy, republic, economy
and foreign policy. This volume concentrates on legitimacy (hefa, in Chinese).
When law is about morality
It’s a joy to follow how Xiang
debunks Max Weber – “the original thinker of the question of political
legitimacy”. Weber is blasted for his “rather perfunctory study of the
Confucian system”. He insisted that Confucianism – emphasizing only equality,
harmony, decency, virtue and pacifism – could not possibly develop a
competitive capitalist spirit.
Xiang shows how since the beginning
of the Greco-Roman tradition, politics was always about a spatial conception – as reflected in polis (a city or city-state). The
Confucian concept of politics, on the other hand, is “entirely temporal, based
on the dynamic idea that legitimacy is determined by a ruler’s daily moral
behavior.”
Xiang shows how hefa contains in fact two
concepts: “fit” and “law” – with “law” giving priority to morality.
In China, the legitimacy of a ruler
is derived from a Mandate of Heaven (Tian Ming).
Unjust rulers inevitably lose the mandate – and the right to rule. This, argues
Xiang, is “a dynamic ‘deeds-based’ rather than ‘procedure-based’ argument.”
Essentially, the Mandate of Heaven
is “an ancient Chinese belief that tian [ heaven, but not the
Christian heaven, complete with an omniscient God] grants the emperor the right
to rule based on their moral quality and ability to govern well and fairly.”
The beauty of it is that the mandate
does not require a divine connection or noble bloodline, and has no time limit.
Chinese scholars have always interpreted the mandate as a way to fight abuse of
power.
The overall crucial point is that,
unlike in the West, the Chinese view of history is cyclical, not linear:
“Legitimacy is in fact a never-ending process of moral self-adjustment.”

Facing the Failure of Our Cruel
Venezuela Policy
https://www.globalresearch.ca/facing-the-failure-of-our-cruel-venezuela-policy/5803715
by Daniel Larison
Venezuelan opposition legislators voted last week to dissolve their interim government, and with
that they have ended the project of trying to replace Maduro
with Juan Guaidó:
But nearly four years later and with
little to show for the effort, the experiment has come to an end. On Friday,
the opposition lawmakers who once rallied behind Guaidó
voted 72-29 to dissolve their so-called interim government, effectively ending
his mandate.
This was a long overdue move. Guaidó never had control of anything outside the National
Assembly in Venezuela, and eventually he didn’t really have control over that.
The U.S. made a major mistake in trying to foment regime change in Venezuela,
and the backing of Guaidó was a perfect example of
why the policy never made any sense. The entire policy has been an exercise in
wishful thinking and reckless meddling from the start. After four years of
failure and worsening hardship for the Venezuelan people, there may now be a
chance for a serious rethinking of this policy.

America’s
New Cold War in Africa
https://consortiumnews.com/2023/01/03/americas-new-cold-war-agenda-in-africa/
by Vijay Prashad
The United States government held
the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit in mid-December, prompted in large part by its
fears about Chinese and Russian influence on the African continent.
Rather than routine diplomacy,
Washington’s approach in the summit was guided by its broader New Cold War
agenda, in which a growing focus of the U.S. has been to disrupt relations that
African nations hold with China and Russia.
This hawkish stance is driven by
U.S. military planners, who view Africa
as “NATO’s southern flank” and consider China and Russia to be “near-peer
threats.”
At the summit, U.S. Defense
Secretary Lloyd Austin charged China
and Russia with “destabilizing” Africa. Austin provided little evidence to
support his accusations, apart from pointing to China’s substantial
investments, trade and infrastructure projects with many countries on the
continent and maligning the presence in a handful of countries of several
hundred mercenaries from the Russian private security firm, the Wagner Group.
The African heads of government left
Washington with a promise from U.S. President Joe Biden to make a
continent-wide tour, a pledge that
the United States will make $55 billion in investments and a high-minded but
empty statement on
U.S.-Africa partnership.
Unfortunately, given the U.S. track
record on the continent, until these words are backed up with constructive
actions, they can only be considered empty gestures and geopolitical jockeying.
There was not one word in the summit’s
final statement on the most pressing issue for the continent’s governments: the
long-term debt crisis.

Is the US Responsible for the
Attack on Makiivka in Donetsk?
https://www.globalresearch.ca/us-responsible-attack-makiivka-donetsk/5803753
by Kurt Nimmo
As usual, the BBC and those who buy
into its nonstop propaganda are misjudging the Russian people. Indeed, they are
“beginning to wake up,” not in response to missteps by Putin and his generals,
although there is justifiable anger, but rather that Ukraine is in large part
controlled by psychopaths who consider them cockroaches and want nothing more
than to kill them.
Of course, we can’t expect the BBC,
the main propaganda outlet for a nation responsible for blowing
up the NordStream pipeline, thus
leaving Germans to freeze this winter, to report details on the attack. For
warmonger propagandists, the death of hundreds of Russian soldiers, without
much detail on the attacks, is enough info for blinkered Brits.
First and foremost, we were told by
script-reader Biden and the USG that they would only provide Ukraine with
governed Lockheed Martin HIMARS artillery, unable to reach Russia. However,
according to the death merchant manufacturer, “the launcher can fire rounds
reaching beyond 300km and is ‘interoperable with the latest precision munitions
that range 15 to 499+ km,’” reports Newsweek.
Depending on where the HIMARS were
fired, most of Donetsk is within reach of potentially illegal rounds, illegal
because the platform was used to fire cluster
bombs, outlawed by all sane and rational nations. Believe it or
not, Biden is actually considering sending
cluster bombs to genocidal Ukronazis.
The original M26 rockets had cluster
warheads which distributed over 600 small bomblets
over a wide area. Nicknamed ‘steel rain,’ these proved extremely effective
during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, but left an unacceptable number of
unexploded bomblets on the battlefield. The M26 was
replaced with a unitary warhead, that is, one with a single, large explosive
charge.
News reports dutifully ignored by
the war propaganda media indicate the Ukronazis have
in fact already used cluster munitions, more than likely provided by the USG,
which lies about the degree of military assistance given to Zelenskyy
and his band of whack-job ultranats. Remarkably, the
use of cluster bombs in Ukraine, often responsible for killing and maiming
children, was reported by The New York Times. See, also: Ukraine’s

Legality of Israel's occupation
referred to UN court
by Maureen Clare Murphy
Last week, the UN General Assembly
voted in favor of requesting an advisory opinion from the International Court
of Justice on the legality of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank – including
East Jerusalem – and Gaza.
The resolution asks the
court to set out the legal consequences of Israel’s violation of Palestinians’
right to self-determination and its prolonged occupation, settlement and
annexation of Palestinian land since 1967.
This includes “measures aimed at
altering the demographic composition, character and status” of Jerusalem and
the “adoption of discriminatory legislation and measures.”
The resolution also asks the court
to determine “the legal consequences that arise for all states and the United
Nations” as a result of its findings.
The International Court of Justice
is the UN’s tribunal for settling legal disputes submitted by states and
requests for advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it through the UN
system.
Though both are based in The Hague,
the International Court of Justice is a separate body from the International
Criminal Court, which opened an investigation into the human rights situation
in the West Bank and Gaza Strip last year.
Advisory opinions issued by the ICJ are non-binding.

The UN General Assembly Drags
Israel to the World Court
https://www.globalresearch.ca/un-general-assembly-drags-israel-world-court/5803747
by Dr. Chandra Muzaffar
The United Nations General
Assembly (UNGA) voted last week to refer Israel to the International Court of
Justice (World Court) for its on-going violation of the right of the
Palestinian people to self-determination in the occupied territories of the
West Bank and Gaza and for adopting measures aimed at altering the demographic
composition, character and status of the holy city of Jerusalem.
Before we analyse the significance
of the vote, let us probe the actual voting pattern. 87 states voted to refer
Israel to the World Court. This represents almost all the Muslim majority
states including those that had recently established diplomatic relations with
Israel. It shows that on this issue at least, the diplomatic manoeuvres of Israel and its backers have not helped the
Zionist state. Other largely non-Muslim majority states in Latin America,
Africa and Asia also endorsed the resolution. It is notable that both China and
Russia supported the move to haul Israel before the World Court. 26 countries voted
against the UNGA resolution. Among them were of course the US, Britain and a
number of other Western states. A huge number — 53
— also abstained. India which at the time of the creation of Israel
in 1948 was in the forefront of the struggle to defend the rights of the
Palestinians was one of the abstentions. Its growing ties with Israel,
especially in the military sphere have often been cited as the main reason for
this change in attitude.
The Indian stance does not in any way nullify the
significance of the vote for the resolution. The UNGA is asking the highest
jurisdictional authority in the world to state its stand on Israel’s conduct as
the Occupying Power over lands it has held in its grip for the last 55 years. Right from 1967, the UNGA has viewed Israel not only as an
Occupying Power but has also demanded that Israel withdraw from the West Bank
and Gaza. Needless to say, Israel has ignored this plea. It is worth
observing that this time the UNGA’s request is being made when Israel is led by
perhaps its most extreme right-wing government which has pledged to pursue
policies that will undermine even further what little is left of the rights of
the Palestinian people and demolish even more the Christian and Muslim features
of Jerusalem.

by Institute
for Research: Middle Eastern Policy
US Middle East policy continued its downward spiral in 2022.
The president and Congress aided and abetted illegal Israeli objectives over
better policies preferred by overwhelming
majorities of American voters.
In poll after poll, Americans have signaled they would like to cut U.S. foreign aid to Israel. Sanction Israel over apartheid practices. Hold it
responsible for being the Middle East’s leading state sponsor of nuclear proliferation and not recognize Israeli territorial annexation. Americans also oppose Israel’s U.S. surrogates attempting to
curb their 1st Amendment rights to
boycott Israel
in response to its perpetual human rights violations.
None of these popular and noble
objectives were translated into U.S. policy in 2022. Americans are instead
likely to be further undermined in 2023. Below are IRmep’s
takes on 2022 and 2023 predictions.

by Juan Cole
What would
the United States be like if it was like Israel?
After the most recent election is
held, the president comes out and says that settling North America is the
exclusive privilege of white Christians. He is determined to make some parts of
the U.S. whiter and more Christian by giving incentives for people to move
there. He names Detroit and the south side of Chicago, the state of Hawaii,
the Cherokee,
Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole oil-rich
lands in Oklahoma.
Only white Christians are allowed to
be cabinet secretaries and congressional majority and minority leaders.Non-white non-Christians like Rashida
Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are
expelled from the House for their inflammatory speeches questioning white
privilege. The citizenship rights of all Native Americans outside the original
13 colonies are revoked and they are put under martial law.
In this future Christian Zionist
America, the U.S. has invaded Canada and occupied British Columbia, including
Vancouver and the Great Bear Rainforest, a First Nations reserve. That is
another place the president says there have to be more white Christian people,
displacing the Wuikinuxv Nation, the Heiltsuk Nation, the Haida Nation
and other first nations tribes. Vancouver residents from Hong Kong have their
citizenship revoked and are expelled back to China. Washington State is now
connected to Alaska, which the president maintains is necessary to the security
of the U.S., given that you can see Russia from there. The U.S. army goes back
to using conscription to have enough troops to patrol Vancouver and the rest of
the province.

US, Israel Vote No as UN Approves World Court Resolution on
Illegal Occupation
by Jon Queally
The
General Assembly of the United Nations on Friday approved a resolution that
asks the International Court of Justice to issue an opinion on the legal
consequences of Israel’s illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories.
The resolution passed with a final
vote of 87 in favor, 26 opposed, and 53 nations abstaining. Among those opposed
to the measure were the United States, Israel, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
Specifically, the resolution asks
the ICJ to provide the United Nations with an advisory opinion on the legal
consequences of Israel’s ongoing “occupation, settlement and annexation” of the
Occupied Territories, “including measures aimed at altering the demographic
composition, character and status of the Holy City of Jerusalem, and from its
adoption of related discriminatory legislation and measures.”
The official request to the ICJ also
asks the body, known broadly as the World Court, how specific Israeli policies
and practices “affect the legal status of the occupation” and to characterize
any legal consequences for all the United Nations and its member states that
stem from this status.

FBI Cointelpro
Is Back and Worse Than Ever
https://scheerpost.com/2022/12/30/fbi-cointelpro-is-back-and-worse-than-ever/
by James Bovard
Elon Musk has
opened the floodgates to expose the FBI’s latest war on Americans’ freedom of
speech. The FBI massively intervened to pressure Twitter to suppress
accounts and tweets from individuals the FBI disapproved, including parody
accounts. The FBI and other federal agencies also browbeat Facebook, Instagram, and many
other tech companies.
Thus far, most of the American media
has ignored or downplayed the story, known as the Twitter Files. Since many of
the individuals who the FBI got squelched were pro-Trump, the violation of
their rights is a non-issue – or a cause for quiet celebration. At this
point, it is difficult to know whether the scant reaction to the Twitter Files
is the result of political bias, collective amnesia, or simply a total
ignorance of American history.
The history of the FBI provides
perhaps the best guide to the abuses that may be now occurring. From 1956 to
1971, the FBI carried out “a secret war
against those citizens it considers threats to the established order,” a 1976
Senate report noted. The FBI’s Operation COINTELPRO involved
thousands of covert
operations to incite street warfare between violent groups, to get people
fired, to portray innocent people as government informants, to destroy
activists’ marriages, and to cripple or destroy left-wing, black, communist,
white racist, and anti-war organizations. The FBI let no corner of
American life escape its vigilance; it even worked to expose and discredit
“communists who are secretly operating in legitimate organizations and
employments, such as the Young Men’s Christian Association and Boy Scouts.”

US intelligence community warned
Twitter about Ukrainian prosecutor's book alleging Biden corruption
https://reclaimthenet.org/intelligence-community-warned-twitter-ukraine-prosecutor-biden-corruption/
by Tom Parker
An internal Twitter document
published by journalist Matt Taibbi has revealed that
the United States (US) intelligence community warned the tech company about the
publicity surrounding a book from a former Ukrainian prosecutor that claimed
President Joe Biden and his
son, Hunter Biden, were involved in corruption in Ukraine.
The book, “True Stories Of Joe Biden’s International Corruption In Ukraine” was
written by Viktor Shokin, who served as Ukraine’s top
prosecutor between February 10, 2015 and March 29, 2016. In the book, Shokin alleged that Burisma, a
Ukrainian energy company that had Hunter Biden on its board, paid Hunter
millions of dollars to prevent prosecutors from taking action against Burisma.
Shokin also
claimed that then Vice President Joe Biden had ordered Shokin
to be fired before he could take action against Burisma.
In January 2018, Joe Biden bragged
about withholding $1 billion in aid to Ukraine until Shokin
was fired.

Who Determines
What’s “Disinformation”?

by Stavroula
Pabst
Why are we being bombarded by
fact-checks and “anti-disinformation” efforts in our timeline scrolls? When
reading the news, we too often find that so-called experts are behind whatever
claim media professionals make, no matter how outlandish or disconnected from
reality such claims may be.
Through his concept and exploration
of spectacle, a totalizing, negating force over our lives that results in what
is really “unlife,” French Philosopher Guy Debord’s famous Society of the Spectacle (1967)
and his follow-up booklet, Comments on the Society of the Spectacle (1988),
provide insights into these and related phenomena.
When it comes to “fact-checks” and
“experts,” Debord is clear: in a society subjugated
by the economy, where “everything that was once directly lived has faded into
representation,” such professionals do not exist to provide us the truth — they
exist to serve the state and media through lies and distortions spun into what
appears as true. If the “experts” lose influence, it will be because the public
learns and articulates that their job is to systematically lie.

Surveillance State: What the #TwitterFiles Mean for America, Ukraine and Libertarianism
by Thomas R. Eddlem
The #TwitterFiles are fast
becoming the greatest glimpse behind the veil of America’s out-of-control
surveillance state since 2013, when Edward Snowden heroically sacrificed his
career and citizenship to reveal the blatantly unconstitutional and dangerous
surveillance of the American people by the NSA.
Now — thanks to great reporting by
Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss, Lee Fang, Michael Shellenberger and David Zweig — they have proven beyond any
doubt that the “intelligence community” has been manipulating the digital press
in the United States for years. Led by the FBI, the Office of the Director of
National Intelligence (ODNI), and the CIA, the surveillance state didn’t just
run roughshod over tech companies, they obviously placed staff agents in place
at Twitter and other key tech companies in order to influence censorship
policy. Twitter alone had dozens of
intelligence agency veterans on its senior staff.
Matt Taibbi
stressed that the
#TwitterFiles document that “the state isn’t a bit
actor in a mostly-private ‘content moderation’ movement. It’s the central
player, clearly the boss of the whole operation, and clearly also the driving
force in its expansion, a truth we can show in pictures.”
And censorship was not limited to
the Hunter Biden computer story because it conflicted with the CIA war narrative
in the Ukraine. The heavy hand of government censorship was brought to bear on
a broad spectrum of issues, including COVID vaccines and masking, the Nordstream II sabotage, and election fraud charges — to the
point that the sitting President of the United States was de-platformed under pressure from Deep State operatives. “A
long list of government enforcement agencies essentially got to operate Twitter
as an involuntary contractor, heading into the 2020 election,” Taibbi noted.
Thus, it shouldn’t be a surprise the
mass media lacks interest in the Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine
Maxwell cases where the two were charged with trafficking underage girls for
sex to … absolutely
no one who was prosecuted or charged (probably because Epstein/Maxwell
ran an MI6 or Mossad honeytrap).
The spook-run media did their best to zero-out speculation about the US
sabotage of Nordstream II and a host of other issues
of concern to their interests.
Meanwhile, establishment
lickspittles like corporate-Democrat podcaster David Pakman
are pooh-poohing the
political censorship as a nothingburger, and the
Hunter Biden story as merely private companies refusing to circulate nude
pictures of the president’s son with underage girls. Why mention Burisma, “the Big Guy” or how Biden led Obama-era policy in
Ukraine and China as Biden’s family cashed in with lucrative $20,000/month
no-show jobs if your role is to support the CIA war narrative in Ukraine?
The FBI/ODNI/CIA obviously censored
the Hunter Biden laptop story because it would expose corruption in the
Ukrainian government, which would have damaged the narrative for the war they
planned on escalating with Russia (by getting Ukrainian forces to shell the
disenfranchised ethnic Russian areas of Ukraine that had declared secession).

COVID-19:
A Global Financial Operation
https://off-guardian.org/2023/01/02/covid-19-a-global-financial-operation/
by Michael Bryant
The COVID phenomenon cannot be understood without
understanding the un-televised 2019-2020 unprecedented financial collapse
threatening the entire global financial system.
The
Covid-19 Pandemic story makes little sense when viewed through the lens of
health, safety and science. Viewed through the lens of money, power, control,
and wealth transfer, however, then all of it makes perfect sense.
The
lockdowns, mandatory muzzles, anti-social distancing and the plethora of additional
measures did nothing to protect or improve public health- they were never
designed to do so.
The
numerous mandates birthed by the onset of the Covid-19 scenario were all
designed to deliberately break the global economy and crush small businesses as
well as break people’s minds, will and the social fabric, in order to “build
back a better society” that conforms to the dystopian visions of the
psychopaths waging this class war.
The
desired result is a billionaire’s utopia, in which they will own and control
the planet in the form of a techno-feudal fiefdom where digitally branded
humanity is regulated like cattle in a super-surveilled
technocracy.
What
this manufactured crisis conveniently camouflages is that we are in the midst
of a planned total economic collapse- a collapse which was inevitable.
The
timing of the COVID fraud became necessary as world markets were faced with an
emergency debt crisis in Fall of 2019 which popped up
in formerly mostly liquid markets: Repo Markets, Money Markets and Foreign
Exchange Markets.
Western
governments began a rush to salvage this decaying system, stem this cataclysmic
landslide, bail out large scale investors and proactively install a security
infrastructure to control the inevitable social disorder resulting from this
collapse. This would be followed by a global financial reset, after a period of
hyperinflation, destroying both the value of debt and the corresponding paper
claims.
The
financial system was already in an advanced stage of decline by the fall of
2019 as illustrated by the Fed taking over the Repo market in September to

Portuguese & British Nurses
Fight Destruction of Health Systems
https://consortiumnews.com/2023/01/04/portuguese-british-nurses-fight-destruction-of-health-systems/
by Ana Vracar
When nurses across the United
Kingdom went on strike on Dec. 15
and 20, 2022, their actions resonated well beyond the U.K., and nurses from
different countries expressed their support. Among them were 125 nurses from
Portugal who published an open letter in
solidarity with their British comrades, reminding readers and patients that
their own public health system faces many of the problems troubling the U.K.’s
National Health Service.
Mário André Macedo, a specialist nurse and one of the first signatories
of the letter, told People’s
Health Dispatch that their initiative was inspired by both
solidarity and a pressing need to point out the shortcomings that could bring
the Portuguese public health service to its knees. In fact, the health system
in Portugal shares a lot of similarities with the NHS, being itself inspired by
the Beveridge model introduced in the U.K.
While still drawing upon its
positive association with public funding and universal access, things have been
going downhill for the Portuguese public health system for years. If we look at
the position of nurses in the system, their problems are as pressing as those
of the health workers in the U.K. The professionals who signed the letter
estimate that over the past decade or so, nurses in Portugal have faced a 20
percent wage loss — double of what nurses’ trade unions in the U.K. have
reported.
During the same period, thousands of
nurses have emigrated from Portugal to other countries, with the U.K. one of
the preferred destinations. Many of those migrant nurses are now also on
strike, points out Macedo, because they are aware of
their responsibility towards fighting for good quality health services that are accessible to everyone.
The nurses who emigrated from
Portugal to the U.K. are all too familiar with the background processes that
have undermined public health systems, putting people’s right to health in
danger.

The Congress that ended on Jan. 3,

Far Right
DEMANDS HUGE CUT In War Spending!

(10:08)
Whatever deals wound up being cut to
finally allow the House of Representatives to elect Kevin McCarthy Speaker will
probably not be clear for a while, if ever. But one proposed agreement demanded
and won by the far right GOP holdouts is a significant cut in Pentagon spending.
Difficult as it is for many to imagine, this firm demand for reduced military
spending puts these ostensibly far right Republicans significantly to the left
of many Democrats, including members of The Squad and Bernie Sanders, all of
whom consistently vote for ever-increasing Ukraine War funding.

for Russia in the Ukraine War. Morell, however, was
more interested in discussing red lines NATO might impose on Russia and how the
U.S. should be willing to put troops on the ground in Ukraine and threaten
Russia with nuclear annihilation if Putin and company consider deploying nukes
of their own in Ukraine.

Former Harvard University President
and Clinton Administration Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers is a legendary
figure in the area of getting things woefully wrong, typically when it comes to
the economy. Even when wrong, he has always been a loyal servant to power,
however, which is why he continues to be consulted by mainstream media outlets
on economic matters. And his latest piece of wisdom? To curb inflation, he
says, workers will have to be thrown out of their jobs – only higher
unemployment can keep the costs of goods and services down.

With #ForceTheVote back in the news, it’s important to
look back and recall that initially the online left seemed to support the idea

admitted to receiving a mysterious phone call telling him to knock it off, and

“The Real Story of January
6,” a documentary by The Epoch
Times, reveals the truth that has been
hidden from the American people. While a narrative has been set that what took
place that day was an insurrection, key events and witnesses have been ignored
until now. The documentary takes an unvarnished look at police use of force and
the deaths that resulted in some measure from it. The film asks tough questions
about who was responsible for the chaos that day. With compelling interviews
and exclusive video footage, the documentary tells the real story of January 6.
The film is narrated by Joshua Philipp, host of “Crossroads” on EpochTV and a senior investigative reporter at The Epoch Times.

Internal CDC Emails Claim
Assistant Secretary for Health Blocked Release of Fluoride Review
https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/the-fluoride-emails/
by Derrick Broze
Emails between the U.S. National Toxicology Program and the
CDC claim that Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine prevented the
release of a long-delayed review on the toxicity of fluoride.
Newly released emails reveal that
leadership within the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and
National Institute of Health acted to prevent the release of long-delayed
review of fluoride’s toxicity by the National Toxicology Program. The emails
specifically claim that Assistant
Secretary for Health Rachel Levine intervened to stop the release of
the NTP review, also known internally as a monograph.
An email dated June 3rd, 2022, shows
Nicole Johnson, Associate Director for Policy, Partnerships and Strategic
Communication in CDC’s Oral Health Division contacting Jennifer Greaser, a
Senior Public Health Policy Analyst in CDC’s Washington office. Johnson states:
“The latest we heard (yesterday) is
that ASH Levine has put the report on hold until further notice.”
ASH Levine refers to the U.S.
Assistant Secretary of Health, Rachel Levine.
The emails were released as part of
the ongoing legal dispute between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and plaintiffs Food and Water Watch, the Fluoride Action Network (FAN),
and others who are seeking an end to water fluoridation. Throughout the historic
lawsuit the plaintiffs have argued that the practice violates the
EPA’s Toxic Substances Abuse Act.
