(57:34)
From director John Kirby and producer Libby Handros, Four Died Trying is a groundbreaking documentary series that chronicles the lives and deaths of President John F Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr, and Senator Robert Kennedy.
Check out the prologue below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbZyGDIPMaE
As per a press release: “In the last years of their lives, each of these men joined in an unprecedented struggle to end war, poverty, and injustice. Besides a common cause, did they share a common enemy?
Does the world created by their brutal murders persist even today? Did the forces that destroyed the hopes of a generation only grow more powerful in the absence of a true accounting?
“Over seven years in the making, with over 120 interviews and counting, Four Died Trying goes far beyond official reality to offer mind-blowing insights from family members, colleagues, officials, critics, witnesses, and even enemies. Everything we thought we knew about modern American history is about to change.”
“Season 1 of the series examines the work these four iconic Americans were doing that led to their deaths. What lessons do their efforts hold for us today, as we face an unprecedented centralization of wealth and power,
the erosion of democratic institutions, the breakdown of civil society, and the age of high-tech official censorship?
“In Season 2, the series delves into the wealth of evidence contradicting the official stories of the assassinations and the complex machinery of cover-up overseen by a captured state-corporate media. More troublingly,
the series asks: Was each of their murders a ‘false mystery’ all along, aided and abetted by our unwillingness to risk our lives to confront the truth? Did we trade short-term security for a lasting dystopia?”
Subject : Humanists, Technocrats, ‘Satanists’: the political economy of three ideological facets of the family in western civilization.

November 15, 2024
Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
Recently I’ve turned my attention to readings about the Middle Ages, and specifically about the Crusades. The First Crusade was initiated by Pope Urban II at the Council of Clermont (Nov. 17 to 27, 1095) where he delivered his fateful speech (see bulletin n°1150) appealing for military aid to help the Byzantine Emperor Alexius Comnenus reconquer territory recently lost to the Turks.
Since he had already become accustomed to using Western mercenaries as auxiliary troops, he asked the pope to help rally some Western military support. But the emperor soon found, no doubt to his great surprise, that he was receiving not just simple aid but a crusade. In other words; instead of a band of mercenaries to fight in Asia Minor, the West sent forth an enormous army of volunteers whose goal was to wrest Jerusalem away from Islam.
. . .
Thus the Crusades can be seen as part of a chapter in papal and religious history. In addition, the Crusades opened the first chapter in the history of Western colonialism.
. . .
The reigning pope in 1095 was Urban II, an extremely competent disciple of Gregory VII (pope from 1073 to 1085). Without question, Urban called the First Crusade to help further the policies of the Gregorian papacy. Urban’s very patronage of Christian warfare was Gregorian. Early Christianity had been pacifistic: St. Martin, for example, a revered Christian saint of the fourth century, gave up his career as a soldier when he converted with the statement ‘I am Christ’s soldier: I cannot fight.’ The Latin fathers St. Augustine and St. Gregory worked out theories to justify Christian warfare but only in the eleventh century, with the triumph of the Gregorian movement, were these put into practice. Gregory VII engineered papal support for the Norman Conquest even before he became pope, and he, or popes under his influence, blessed Christian campaigns against Muslims in Spain, Greeks in Italy, and Slaves in the German east. All these campaigns were considered by Gregory VII and his followers to be steps toward gaining ‘right order in the world.
Following in Gregory VII’s footsteps, Urban II probably conceived of a great crusade to the Holy Land as a means for achieving at least four ends. One was to bring the Greek Orthodox Church back into the fold. By sending a mighty volunteer army to the East, Urban might overawe the Byzantines with Western strength and convince them to reaccept Roman primacy. If he was successful in that, he would gain a great victory for the Gregorian program of papal monarchy. A second motive was to embarrass the pope’s greatest enemy, the German emperor. In 1095 Henry IV had become so militarily strong that Urban had been forced to flee Italy for France. By calling a mighty crusade of all westerners but Germans, Urban might hope to show up the emperor as a narrow-minded, un-Christian persecutor, and demonstrate his own ability to be the spiritual leader of the West. Third, by sending off a large contingent of fighters, Urban might help to achieve peace at home. Earlier, the local French Church had supported a ‘peace movement’ which prohibited attacks on noncombatants (the ‘Peace of God’). Right before he called the First Crusade Urban promulgated the first full papal approval and extension of this peace movement. Clearly the crusade was linked to the call for peace: in effect, Urban told unruly warriors that if they really wished to fight they could do so justly for a Christian cause overseas. Finally, the goal of Jerusalem itself must have genuinely inspired Urban. Jerusalem was thought be the center of the earth and was the most sacred shrine of the Christian religion; it must have seemed only proper that pilgrimages to Jerusalem should not be impeded and that Christians should rule the city directly. ‘Right order in the world’ could scarcely mean less.
(Philp Lee Ralph, et al. World Civilizations, eighth edition, New York, 1991, pp.451-453)
In 1228, the Sixth Crusade was undertaken by the Emperor Frederick II. It was a diplomatic success, as negotiations with the Egyptian sultan were undertaken instead of war and a treaty signed whereby Jerusalem and a narrow access route were restored to the Christians. This, however, was a temporary victory, and Jerusalem fell to the Muslims again in 1244, never to be recaptured by the West until 1917.
In the estimation of historians of the High Middle Ages, the Crusades ushered in significant new developments for Europe:
From an economic point of view, the success of the First Crusade helped open up the eastern Mediterranean to Western commerce. The Italian cities of Venice and Genoa particularly began to denominate trade in that area, thereby helping to enhance Western prosperity as a whole. The need to transfer money over long distances also stimulated early experiments in banking techniques. Politically, the precedent of taxing the clergy for financing crusades was not only quickly turned to the advantage of the Western monarchies; it also stimulated the development of various forms of national taxation. More than that, the very act of organizing a country to help support a royal crusade by raising funds and provisions was an important stimulus to the development of efficient administrative institutions in the emerging nation-states.
But there was a debit as well as a credit side to the crusading balance sheet. There is no excusing the Crusaders’ savage butchery –of Jews at home and of Muslims abroad. … [Also,] the Crusades greatly accelerated the deterioration of Western relations with the Byzantine Empire and contributed fundamentally to the destruction of that realm, with all the disastrous consequences that followed. And Western colonization in the Holy Land was only the beginning of a long history of colonialism that has continued until modern times.(ibid., p.458)
The remnants of this medieval history are still with us in the present. The social class relationships have changed, and the new ruling class exerts its influence in a myriad of ways, but conditions conrtinue to exist for a dominant class to channel the thinking and behavior of a subjugated population in targeted directions according to the former's class interests, with the core concern being to neutralize the latter's collective power to resist being exploited by the owners of great capital.
The 26+ items below reflect essential questions concerning the complex conditions we now are facing in contemporary societies. The Anglophone media is increasingly challenging the old imperialist ways of western thinking and bringing to light new innovative ideas about modes of resistance which contribute to the legacy of our vision of a new egalitarian society, based on self-realization, cooperation, and a plenitude of collective achievements --in short, an end to the domination by one social class over another and the total abandonment of the usual control tactics, such as Artificial Scarcity, Jealousy, Fear, Conditioned Obedience, etc., etc....
Thus, the proverbial question remains: Is the glass half empty, or half full?
Sincerely,
Francis McCollum Feeley

“Has the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) Taken a Stance Against War with Russia?”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/former-cfr-chief-proposed-compromise-ending-ukrainian-conflict/5872558
by Andrew Korybko
Former CFR President Richard Hass (2003-2023) has proposed a compromise for ending the war in Ukraine.
He deserves credit for saying what no policy influencer of his caliber has dared to, and his proposal for phased sanctions relief is also very pragmatic, but other parts of his proposed compromise are unrealistic.
Former Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) President Richard Haass recently published a detailed article for his think tank’s journal about how “The Perfect Has Become the Enemy of the Good in Ukraine: Why Washington Must Redefine Its Objectives”. He observed that the US never clearly defined what victory means, which has led to false expectations, deep disappointment, and confusion about the endgame. Haass then proceeds to explain why the US should push Ukraine to compromise with Russia.
According to him, it can’t realistically restore its pre-2014 borders, nor outlast Russia in the ongoing “war of attrition”.
Zelensky’s much-ballyhooed “Victory Plan” “is not a plan for victory, but a prescription for continued war”, Haass wrote, warning that “If Kyiv’s allies walk away, it could end up being a prescription for defeat.”
Instead, he suggests settling for Ukraine remaining “an independent, sovereign, and economically viable country”, which requires ending hostilities as soon as possible.

Douglas Macgregor & John Mearsheimer: Israel & US Plot to End Iran! Russia Land All Weapons in Iran! In this analysis, Douglas Macgregor and John Mearsheimer explore the escalating strategies of Israel and the U.S. toward Iran, amid an increasingly complex geopolitical environment. They discuss the potential risks of a coordinated approach by Israel and the U.S. aimed at countering Iranian influence, which may draw in regional powers and risk a larger conflict. The video delves into the implications of Russia’s support for Iran, including the transfer of advanced weaponry that strengthens Iran’s defensive capabilities and shifts the balance of power in the Middle East. Both experts highlight the constraints and potential fallout from such a confrontation, particularly in light of Iran's alliances with Russia and China, and emphasize the risks of miscalculation in a nuclear-sensitive environment.

“Western Faces of Fascism. Zionist Holocaust, Western Supported Genocide”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/western-faces-fascism/5872563
by Mark Taliano
The deeply entrenched fascism of the collective West, the merger of the corporate and the state, is mostly disguised but shockingly palpable in its proxies.
Investigative journalist Abby Martin describes Israeli fascism with these words:
“I hate when I see politicians just trying to denounce Netanyahu as some sort of aberration from Israeli society. No, this is the norm.
This is the norm. Look at every single cabinet minister, every single member of the Knesset is out there spewing genocide, advocating mass murder of not just Palestinians, but babies, babies. It is sick.”
[Transcript here: Western-Supported Zionist Fascism/ By Abby Martin – Mark Taliano]
The current Western-supported Zionist holocaust of Palestinians is the distilled essence of Western fascism, Western settler-colonialism, genocide.
And what are some of the real goals behind the Western-supported genocide?
“The ultimate objective,” explains Prof. Michel Chossudovsky, “is not only to exclude Palestinians from their homeland, it consists in confiscating the multi-billion dollar Gaza offshore Natural Gas reserves, namely those pertaining to the BG (BG Group) in 1999, as well the Levant discoveries of 2013.” (1)
Western/Zionist proxies in Syria and beyond (al Qaeda, ISIS and affiliates) serve the same fascist agenda. Investigative reporter Vanessa Beeley explains,
“many in the US are not aware that US forces occupy one third of Syrian territory illegally. The justification of being in Syria to fight ISIS is dishonest. In 2016, in a closed UN session with Obama’s Secretary of State, John Kerry and Syrian so-called opposition that was recorded and published by the NYT – this recording confirmed three things:
1: Obama policy in Syria was the removal of the Syrian government and President Bashar Al Assad
2: In order to accomplish this primary goal, the White House was willing to watch the rise of ISIS in the hope that ISIS would advance on Damascus and pressure President Assad into stepping down
3. Weapons that were for the “rebels” under the Obama Train and Equip program mysteriously ended up in the hands of ISIS.
Further links for U.S. support for ISIS in Syria – here, here, here, here , here, here , here, here and here. Local sources here, here, here and here.” (2)
READ MORE: Dazzling Political Spectacle as Cover for Permanent War and Genocide
Beneath the veils of war propaganda, Dana Stroul – Joe Biden’s Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense – then co-chair of the Syria Study Group – “nomalizes” Empire’s illegal occupations and theft of Syrian resources, even claiming that Washington and is proxies “own” one third of Syian territory.
Illegal occupations, support for internationally-proscribed terrorist groups, unilateral coercive economic measures (collective punishment) amount to bald-faced imperialism, which amounts to fascism, given the barbaric nature of Empire’s sectarian proxies.
And what are some of the underlying motivations? Empire seeks to weaken, to subjugate and to balkanize, to impose “Regime Change”, to open up new territories for corporate exploitation, to plunder resources, and to further project its power in the so-called New Middle East. All of this is in contravention of international law and all of it is consistent with fascism laid bare.
Empire disguises its West Asian fascism as ‘humanitarian” even as the death toll in its concurrent wars of aggression amounts to millions of souls. (3)

"What was different about this election was how central billionaires were in the entire political discourse," says The Lever_'s David Sirota, who joins _Democracy Now! to discuss the outsized role of the super-rich in U.S politics, pointing out that both Trump and Kamala Harris campaigned heavily with billionaires, including Elon Musk and Mark Cuban. "These people are not giving money simply out of the goodness of their hearts. They want things. They have policy demands," Sirota says. "The investors, the donors, like billionaires, are looking for a return on their investment." Sirota, who previously worked as a communications adviser and speechwriter for the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, also explains how Elon Musk's influence on Trump's campaign is a preview of the power he could wield if he ends up appointed to the Trump administration.

“The WHO Confirms that the Covid-19 PCR Test is Flawed: Estimates of “Positive Cases” are Meaningless. Both the Lockdown and the “Vaccine” Have No Scientific Basis”
by Prof Michel Chossudovsky
Author’s Note and Update
The World has been in a state of crisis for more than three years despite the fact that the WHO and the CDC (with the usual innuendos) have unequivocally confirmed that the RT-PCR test used to justify every single policy mandate including lockdowns, social distancing, the mask, confinement of the labor force, closure of economic activity, etc. is flawed and invalid.
The same applies to the roll-out of the mRNA Vaccine in December 2020.
This article was first published on March 21, 2021 focussing on the WHO’s Mea Culpa dated January 20, 2021.
The WHO advisory was then followed a few months later by the bombshell decision of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (July 21, 2021) to withdraw the PCR test as a valid method for detecting and identifying SARS-CoV-2.
As of December, 31 2021, the PCR test is longer considered valid by the CDC in the U.S.
For more details see: Bombshell: CDC No Longer Recognizes the PCR Test As a Valid Method for Detecting “Confirmed Covid-19 Cases”?
By Prof Michel Chossudovsky, December 29, 2021
What this implies is that both the CDC and the WHO have formally acknowledged the failures of the RT-PCR test, without however implementing a shift in the methodology of detecting and identifying SARS-CoV-2.
The Mainstream Media Now Reluctantly Acknowledges that the PCR Test is Flawed
After having sustained the propaganda campaign, the mainstream media has now tacitly acknowledged that the PCR TEST IS INVALID.
Below is an excerpt from London’s Daily Mail on something which has been known and documented by scientists and the independent media from the outset of the corona crisis in January 2020.
The report below is convoluted. It is an obvious understatement:
“Did flawed PCR tests convince us Covid was worse than it really was? …
It has been one of the most enduring Covid conspiracy theories: that the ‘gold standard’ PCR tests used to diagnose the virus were picking up people who weren’t actually infected.
Some even suggested the swabs, which have been carried out more than 200 million times in the UK alone, may mistake common colds and flu for corona.
If either, or both, were true, it would mean many of these cases should never have been counted in the daily tally – that the ominous and all-too-familiar figure, which was used to inform decisions on lockdowns and other pandemic measures, was an over-count. (Daily Mail, March 12, 2022, emphasis added)
It is carefully worded with a view to protecting the decision-makers.
The PCR Test is the Smoking Gun. There is No Pandemic . . .

“Video: The Mysterious Death of the Inventor of the PCR Test, Nobel Laureate Dr. Kary Mullis”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/video-mysterious-death-dr-fauci-most-notable-critic/5871158
by Greg Reese and Prof Michel Chossudovsky
Dr. Fauci’s Most Notable Critic.
“The PCR is a process. It does not tell you that you are sick.” –Dr. Kary Mullis, (image right) Nobel Laureate and Inventor of the RT-PCR, passed away in August 2019.
“…All or a substantial part of these positives could be due to what’s called false positives tests.” –Dr. Michael Yeadon, distinguished scientist, former Vice President and Chief Science Officer of Pfizer
“This misuse of the RT-PCR technique is applied as a relentless and intentional strategy by some governments to justify excessive measures such as the violation of a large number of constitutional rights, … under the pretext of a pandemic based on a number of positive RT-PCR tests, and not on a real number of patients.” –Dr. Pascal Sacré, Belgian physician specialized in critical care and renowned public health analyst.
“I have seen massive efforts made to deliberately inflate Covid death numbers by relabelling cancer patients and stroke victims and all manner of normal regular deaths as Covid, in fact virtually anyone getting into an ambulance. The methods used to do so were totally flawed, PCR tests for example being run on 45 cycles we all know to be worthless, yet people are being euthanised on this basis and sometimes only on the basis of a chest x-ray alone.” –John O’Looney, Funeral Director, Milton Keynes, U.K.
From the outset of this crisis in January 2020, all far-reaching policy decisions upheld and presented to the public as a “means to saving lives” were based on flawed and invalid RT-PCR positive cases.
These invalid COVID-19 “estimates” have been used to justify confinement, social distancing, wearing of the face mask, the prohibition of social gatherings, cultural and sports events, the closure of economic activity, as well as the enforcement of the mRNA “vaccine” launched in November 2020. There is no such thing as a “COVID-19 confirmed case”.– Michel Chossudovsky, Professor of Economics (emeritus), University of Ottawa.

”The West buries a genocide – by making victims of Israel's football thugs”
https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/west-buries-genocide-making-victims-israel-football-thugs
by Jonathan Cook
If the West was really worried about Europe’s Nazi past, it would be better advised to stop stoking an all-too-real new antisemitism: incitement against Arab and Muslim minorities.
There has never been a harder time to do political and media analysis than right now. Each day, the western establishment unmoors itself further from reality. Its priorities are so inverted, so obscene, that the most appropriate response is ridicule.
The latest example was the reaction late last week to violent clashes in Amsterdam before and after a match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and the local team Ajax.
The ridiculous framing from western politicians, assisted by mainstream media outlets, was that the visiting Israelis were “hunted down” in what supposedly amounted to a “pogrom” by Dutch street gangs, comprising mainly youths of Arab and Muslim heritage.
According to this official narrative, the violence on Amsterdam’s streets was further proof of a rising tide of antisemitism sweeping Europe and imported from the Middle East. More, the attacks were presented as having disturbing echoes of Europe's Nazi past.
Outgoing US President Joe Biden claimed the Israeli fans faced “despicable” attacks that “echo dark moments in history when Jews were persecuted”.

“Mouin Rabbani on What Really Happened in Amsterdam Between Israeli Soccer Fans & Local Residents”

by Democracy Now!

Dutch Palestinian analyst Mouin Rabbani discusses the violence that broke out last week between visiting Israeli soccer fans and pro-Palestinian protesters in Amsterdam. The Dutch authorities made over 60 arrests, and at least five people were hospitalized as a result of the clashes, which local and international leaders were quick to brand as antisemitic, even though observers in Amsterdam have said it was Israeli hooligans who instigated much of the violence. Rabbani says that while it's common for rival teams' fans to get into skirmishes, what happened in Amsterdam was different. "What we're talking about here in Amsterdam is not a clash between the hooligans of two opposing sides, but rather these Israeli thugs attacking people who, in principle, had nothing to do with the game, and then afterwards being confronted by their victims," Rabbani says.

"How can this be intimidating for Jewish people if Jewish people participate in this demonstration?" Protesters in Amsterdam have gathered to rally against Israel's genocide in Gaza, despite a demonstration ban put in place after Israeli football fans triggered violence across the city. Hundreds of protesters gathered in the city’s Dam Square, amidst a large police presence, there to quash the demonstration. Police in riot gear intervened against protesters in the afternoon, detaining dozens, who were later taken into buses and transported to another location in the city.

Dozens of workers have been sacked by the tech giant for speaking up for Palestinians against Project Nimbus - but others say they won’t be silenced
It's early morning, and Zelda Montes walks briskly through the crisp New York air as they head to Google's headquarters on Manhattan’s 9th Avenue.
Montes, who self-identifies as they, fumbles with their ID card at the entrance, blending in with the steady stream of Googlers swiping through the security barriers as if it were just another day at the office.
Armed with an oversized tote bag, Montes pulls back their purple hair and heads to the 13th-floor canteen to order their usual: a dirty chai and an egg, avocado, and cheese sandwich with a bowl of raspberries. Their hands tremble slightly as they grip the coffee cup.
Locking eyes with two others, they get the signal that the coast is clear, head down to the entrance, and sit.
The three Googlers unfurl their banners and begin chanting to demand that Google do one thing: Drop Project Nimbus.

But this will be the last time they sit inside Google's New York office as Googlers, as Google itself refers to its own employees.
"Getting fired felt like a possibility but never a reality," remarked Montes, one of 50 employees fired by Google for staging a 10-hour sit-in at one of its American offices in April.
For the last three years, Montes has been one of several activists calling for Google to drop Project Nimbus, a partnership Google and Amazon have with the Israeli government reportedly worth $1.2bn.
The partnership, which focuses on cloud computing, provides services to various branches of the Israeli government, including the defence ministry and the army.
Google, which has not responded to questions sent by MEE prior to publication of this article, has insisted in previous statements that Nimbus "is not directed at highly sensitive, classified, or military workloads relevant to weapons or intelligence services".

Israel has launched an invasion (October 7, 2023) of the Gaza Strip.
As outlined by Felicity Arbuthnot with foresight 10 years ago in a December, 30 2013 article:
“Israel is set to become a major exporter of gas and some oil, “If All Goes to Plan”.
In the current context, Israel’s “All Goes to Plan” option consists in bypassing Palestine and “Wiping Gaza off the Map”, as well confiscating ALL Gaza’s maritime offshore gas reserves, worth billions of dollars.
The ultimate objective is not only to exclude Palestinians from their homeland, it consists in confiscating the multi-billion dollar Gaza offshore Natural Gas reserves, namely those pertaining to the BG (BG Group) in 1999, as well the Levant discoveries of 2013.
Update. Israel’s Secret Intelligence Memorandum
An official “secret” memorandum authored by Israel’s Ministry of Intelligence “is recommending the forcible and permanent transfer of the Gaza Strip’s 2.2 million Palestinian residents to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula”, namely to a refugee camp in Egyptian territory. There are indications of Israel-Egypt negotiations as well as consultations with the U.S.
The 10-page document, dated Oct. 13, 2023, bears the logo of the Intelligence Ministry … assesses three options regarding the future of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip … It recommends a full population transfer as its preferred course of action. … The document, whose authenticity was confirmed by the ministry, has been translated into English in full here on +972.

“Why more than 500 scholars think Israel should be unseated from the UN”
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/why-more-500-scholars-think-israel-should-be-unseated-un
by Sondos Asem
More than 500 scholars and practitioners of international law, international relations, conflict studies, politics and genocide studies have called on the UN General Assembly and its member states to unseat Israel from the assembly.
The UN General Assembly suspended apartheid South Africa in 1974 until its transition to democracy. The scholars argue there is a stronger case for suspending Israel, given its persistent disregard for international law over more than seven decades, including violations of the UN Charter, Security Council resolutions, and orders by the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
In a joint letter shared with Middle East Eye, the signatories listed a wide range of acts committed by the state of Israel since its establishment in 1948 that have been in defiance of international law. The letter said that Israel has “shown contempt” for resolutions by the General Assembly throughout its history.
These include Israel’s violation of Resolution 194 (III) (1948), enshrining the Palestinian right of return, and Resolution 181 (II) (1947), enshrining Palestinian state sovereignty. The two resolutions were viewed as conditions of Israel’s admission to the UN, under Resolution 273 (III) (1949).
Additionally, Israel has consistently breached legally binding UN Security Council resolutions, including resolutions related to Gaza since 7 October 2023. This adds to the list of Security Council resolutions violated by Israel for decades, mainly concerned with its unlawful occupation of Palestinian territories.

At an election
watch party in Dearborn, Michigan, Middle East Eye sits down with Green Party
presidential candidate Jill Stein to talk about her campaign coalition with the
Muslim and Arab communities, the attacks against her by the Democratic Party,
and where the Green Party will go from here.
Despite gaining momentum among left-leaning and Arab-American voters for her
strong stances against Israel’s war in Gaza, Stein appears to have failed to
break through the crucial five percent threshold required for her party to
become eligible for campaign financing.
Instead, she describes the night as a 'launch party' for the movement she hopes
will spring from this election.

“Celebrating the 70th Anniversary of Salt of the Earth”
https://covertactionmagazine.com/2024/10/24/celebrating-the-70th-anniversary-of-salt-of-the-earth/
by Ed Rampell
The Film was one of the most pro-union movies in American history
In many ways, 1954’s Salt of the Earth is a singular, cinematic phenomenon, one of the most unique American movies ever made. At a time when star-driven Hollywood was cranking out widescreen biblical epics, technicolor musicals, sci-fi and horror B pictures for drive-ins, Westerns, comedies, as well as films starring highly trained “Method” actors, Salt featured a largely nonprofessional cast in a story about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. These non-actors played versions of themselves—miners who had struggled in a recent, real-life strike.
In an era when flicks were typically made at Tinseltown studios, soundstages and backlots and set in glamorous big cities or exotic fantasylands such as Brigadoon and South Pacific, Salt was set and shot in black and white on location in nitty-gritty New Mexico. While Tinseltown’s stars and dramatis personae were almost exclusively white, Salt’s leads and most of its characters were of Mexican heritage.
In an age when Gentlemen Prefer-red Blondes like Marilyn Monroe, Pillow Talk-ing Doris Day and conventional Ozzie and Harriet housewives, Salt’s brown women broke gender roles, walked the picket line, clashed with police and its female lead, Mexican actress Rosaura Revueltas who portrayed Esperanza Quintero, was born in Durango.

(1:30, video)
The Palestinian Resistance continued its operations against the Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip, destroying two tanks and a troop carrier and shelling its soldiers in more than one area.
The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas, said it targeted an Israeli troop carrier with a Tandem shell, near the al-Amin Mosque, east of Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
The Al-Qassam Brigades said that, in conjunction with the Omar al-Qasim Brigades, they shelled with mortars Israeli forces in the southeast of the Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza City.
The Al-Qassam Brigades also broadcast images of its fighters targeting a Merkava tank in the vicinity of the Khaznadar area, northwest of Gaza City.
For its part, the Al-Quds Brigades announced that its fighters destroyed a Merkava tank by detonating a high-explosive Thaqib device near Birkat Abu Rashid, in the center of Jabaliya camp.
The group also reported that they fired mortar shells at a position of Israeli soldiers on the supply line in the Netzarim axis in the central Gaza Strip.

“How the Axis of Resistance is shaping the Middle East”
https://www.middleeasteye.net/big-story/middle-east-axis-resistance-shaping-how
by Mohammad Ataie
This unprecedented mobilisation of multiple fronts - a network of allied states and movements - in support of the Palestinian resistance has been a long time coming
With Israel still in full assault on Gaza and Lebanon, the year-long multi-front war escalated sharply on 1 October 2024, when Iran launched a massive missile strike on military installations across Israel.
According to Tehran, this attack was a response to the Israeli assassinations of Iranian, Lebanese, and Palestinian figures, notably Hamas's political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, and Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
This marked Iran's second direct strike on Israel in a conflict that pro-Israel pundits describe as a "six-front war", and the convergence of Middle Eastern conflicts into "one big war".
Since 7 October 2023, Israel has waged a war from Gaza and the West Bank to Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, and Iran.
As early as 8 October, Hezbollah started a calculated military escalation against Israel, which was followed by attacks from Yemen, Iran, and Iraq under the banner of "unity of fields".

This month, Iran's major missile attack on Israel marked the height of coordinated operations. Abu Obaida, spokesperson for Hamas's military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, described the moment as the convergence of the ummah's flames of resistance in the skies of Palestine.
The Axis of Resistance, which centred Palestine as its ideological unifier, became an influential force in the region
This unprecedented mobilisation of multiple fronts in support of the Palestinian resistance has been a long time coming. It marked a culmination in the decades-long convergence of actors who together comprise the Axis of Resistance - a network of allied states and movements, including Iran, Syria, Hamas and the Islamic Jihad in Palestine, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Ansar Allah (also known as the Houthi movement) in Yemen, and various Iraqi forces.
Western policymakers and media dismiss the Axis of Resistance as a "terror network" with no history or context and frame it as an expansionist threat to stability in the Middle East.
Following the assassination of Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah on 28 September, US President Joe Biden praised Israel's air strike in Beirut's southern suburb, describing it as a strike against "the Iranian-supported terrorist groups" and their "reign of terror".
Israeli officials have called the axis an octopus: "Iran is the head of the octopus, and you see its tentacles all around from the Houthis to Hezbollah to Hamas."
After the Israeli defence minister called Palestinians human animals, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman described the axis as an "invasive parasite". Taking the task of justifying the Israeli genocide to a new low, he wrote that Iran is a parasitoid wasp and the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas and Kataib Hezbollah are its eggs, concluding: "We have no counter-strategy that safely and efficiently kills the wasp without setting fire to the whole jungle."
Denying the humanity and the agency of these actors in the region (they are typically called proxies or tentacles) goes hand in hand with denying their resistance.

While the mainstream media frequently de-historicises and dehumanises the Axis of Resistance, its ideological roots emerged before the Iranian revolution in 1979. It has centred Palestine as its ideological unifier and evolved through a transnational circulation of people, ideas, and expertise, making the axis an influential force in the region.

“Israeli hooligans provoke clashes in Amsterdam after chanting anti-Palestinian slogans “
by Huthifa Fayyad and Areeb Ullah
Israeli hooligans provoked clashes with Dutch youth in Amsterdam on Thursday after they chanted racist anti-Arab slogans, tore down Palestinian flags and ignored a minute of silence for the Spanish flood victims.
Travelling Maccabi Tel Aviv fans stirred trouble on Wednesday and Thursday in different parts of of the Dutch capital ahead of their Uefa Europa League match against Amsterdam club Ajax.
Hooligans were seen removing at least two Palestinian flags from what appeared to be the front of local residents' homes a night before the match, according to the AD daily newspaper.
An Arab taxi driver was also attacked by mobs who appeared to be with the Israeli fans, although police said they couldn't identify the nationality of the attackers as no arrests were made.
A group of Israeli fans gathered in the Dam Square on Wednesday were filmed sparking confrontations with locals, shouting “Fuck you” at some of them and “Fuck you Palestine”.
Ahead of match on Thursday, fans heading to the Johan Cruyff Arena stadium were seen shouting: “Let the IDF [Israeli army] fuck the Arabs”.
The also refused to participate in a minute of silence before kick-off for at least 200 people who died in the Valencia floods.
The police have not made any known arrests of the Israeli fans involved in provocative act ahead of the match.

“Viral video reveals Israeli hooligans attacked Dutch police while instigating Amsterdam unrest”
https://thegrayzone.com/2024/11/10/video-israeli-hooligans-attacked-police-amsterdam/
by Max Blumenthal and Wyatt Reed·November 10, 2024
(17:16)
Footage by a teenage YouTuber shows Tel Aviv Maccabi hooligans attacking Dutch police while pelting private homes with stones and hunting victims with metal pipes. The video offers the clearest evidence yet Israeli ultras provoked the violence which gripped the city.
A November 8 video report by a 16-year-old who publishes YouTube reports under the moniker “Bender” provided extensive on-the-ground footage of a mob of armed Tel Aviv Maccabi ultras hunting victims, throwing metal poles at police vehicles, threatening journalists, and even being detained after attacking undercover police officers.
While Western corporate media, US President Joe Biden and the Dutch government have faithfully echoed the Israeli propaganda narrative that the Maccabi ultras were innocent victims of an antisemitic “pogrom,” no mainstream media outlet has reported to date that the Israeli football hooligans attacked police vehicles and undercover officers, in addition to their assaults on Muslim taxi drivers and other Dutch citizens.
In a statement to The Grayzone, Amsterdam police spokesperson Eline Roovers refused to discuss the documented attacks by Israeli thugs on Dutch police officers and vehicles. “We cannot comment on ongoing investigations, which means we are not able to answer questions related to this now,” Roovers stated, referring us instead to a press conference by Police Chief Peter Holla.
In his statement to the press, Holla acknowledged that “a [Palestinian] flag was taken down by Maccabi supporters,” who also “vandalized a cab.” On Amsterdam’s Dam Square, he said, “a Palestinian flag was set on fire.”
The Dutch police said 5 people were hospitalized during the Nov. 7 mayhem, and 30 suffered more minor injuries.
Effectively confirming the Israeli hooligans as the source of the violence in Amsterdam, Holla stated, “peace [returned]” only after Maccabi supporters were “accompanied by the police back to their hotels with the use of buses.”
However, the police chief’s comments evinced heavy political bias in favor of the very element that instigated the violence: “I can imagine that Israelis feel unsafe,” he said. “As mentioned before, their well-being is our top priority.”

“5G Danger: 13 Reasons 5G Wireless Technology Will be a Catastrophe for Humanity”
by Makia Freeman
The 5G danger can’t be overstated.
5G (5th Generation) is now being actively rolled out in many cities around the world. Simultaneously, as awareness over its horrific health and privacy impacts is rising, many places are issuing moratoriums on it or banning it, such as the entire nation of Belgium, the city of Vaud (Switzerland) and San Francisco (USA). Radiofrequency radiation (RF or RFR) and electromagnetic fields (EMF) are being increasingly recognized as new types of pollution – environmental pollution. Here are 13 reasons exposing the 5G danger, which could turn into an unmitigated health and privacy catastrophe if enough people don’t rise up to stop it.
1. 5G Danger: Hijacking Your Sweat Duct Antennae
The 5G network uses and broadcasts frequencies which affect our sweat ducts, which act as antennae. In other words, our largest organ, the skin, can be influenced and manipulated by 5G. As I reported in this the article 5G and IoT: Total Technological Control Grid Being Rolled Out Fast, scientist Dr. Ben-Ishai exposed the connection between 5G and our body’s sweat ducts in this video:
“[The 5G frequencies] will zap [us] with wavelengths that will interact with the geometrical structure of our skin … We found that sweat ducts work like helical antennas … the sweat duct was an integral part of the mechanism for the absorption of energy, electromagnetic, between 75-100 GHz, and that if you changed the character of the sweat duct, i.e. made it work, you could actually change that absorption at some point, and if you could do that you could trace how a person is under stress.“
2. 5G Danger: 5G Amplifies EMF Damage via VGCCs
Wireless radiation and EMF scientist Dr. Martin Pall has done groundbreaking research in explaining exactly how EMFs cause premature aging and injury to the human body, including damage to fertility, brains, hearts and even DNA! He pioneered research showing how EMFs activate the body’s VGCCs (Voltage-gated calcium channels) which causes them to release excess calcium ions into the cell. This then leads to nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide which react nearly instantaneously to form peroxynitrite and free radicals. Many studies like this show peroxynitrite damages DNA. Dr. Pall has stated unequivocally that the “5G rollout is absolutely insane.”
3. 5G Danger: Pulsed Wave Far More Damaging than Continuous Wave Radiation
A significant and unique feature of Smart Meters is that they emit pulsed wave radiation not continuous wave radiation. In other words, they run in start-stop cycles of emitting a burst of EMF then going temporarily inactive. This happens an incredibly high amount of times per day; court documents with testimony from utility companies (like Pacific Gas and Electric Company of California) reveal that smart meters send pulsed waves between 9,600 and 190,000 times per day!
In this 2018 video, Dr. Pall states there are 13 studies which show that pulsed wave EMFs are more active (and dangerous) than continuous wave EMFs. You can read the evidence here.
4. 5G Danger: 5G Promotes Deep EMF Penetration
The main reason why cell or mobile phones are more dangerous for children than adults (apart from the fact that radiation absorption is cumulative over a lifetime) is due to EMF penetration.
that radiation absorption is cumulative over a lifetime) is due to EMF penetration.

“American Federation of Teachers Sells Out to Rockefellers, Trilateralists, and Big Tech”
by John Klyczek
On May 1st, 2021, Americans for Public Trust leaked email correspondences between the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Obtained through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, these emails revealed how the bureaucracy of this teachers’ union was lobbying the CDC to roll back its school reopening guidelines.
Pumping the brakes on the return to in-person learning, the AFT emails successfully petitioned the CDC to add “language” recommending that schools continue to provide “telework” and “virtual teaching opportunities” as alternatives to face-to-face education. The AFT also requested that the Center for Disease Control add a coronavirus “variant closing metric” that would renege on the CDC’s greenlight for in-person instruction “at any level of community [COVID] transmission.” By prioritizing “telework” and “virtual teaching,” while seeking to reinstate COVID lockdown measures in the event of new coronavirus variants, the lobbying efforts of the AFT basically pressured the CDC into relegating schools to prolonged virtual “distance learning” that is outsourced to private ed-tech corporations.
“CDC Responsive Records”, Source: Americans for Public Trust
To put it bluntly, the AFT has been attempting to sway the CDC to ratchet up COVID restrictions that perpetuate public education’s reliance on Big Tech company privatization. These companies have been raking in record profits by selling ed-tech products to schools during lockdown. In turn, just after their email exchanges with the CDC, the AFT and the National Education Association co-authored Learning Beyond COVID-19: A Vision for Thriving in Public Education, which calls for increased access to “devices needed for online learning” along with increased access to “virtual” tutoring.
Why would the American Federation of Teachers go against “following the science” by lobbying the CDC to backpedal its relaxation of school health and safety protocols? Why would the AFT defy CDC experts by opposing school re-openings in favor of extending COVID restrictions that prop open the floodgates for the ed-tech industry to advance its privatization of public education through “remote” e-learning contracts? Why do this when mainstream medical journals, such as the Lancet, have published data which finds that “[c]hildren and young people remain at low risk of COVID-19 mortality”? What is the point when there is mounting evidence that in-person schoolhouse learning does not result in rising community transmission rates of COVID-19?
Learning Beyond COVID, Source: nea.org
These questions are even more perplexing when considering the increase in adolescent suicides resulting from depression caused by social isolation from school lockdowns that sequester students from their classmates. At the same time, peer isolation from school lockdown is harming the cognitive, social, and emotional development of students who are in the crucial stages of learning the fundamentals of how to communicate by reading facial expressions, body language, and other social cues which are indispensable to in-person human interaction. Not to mention there is copious data showing that face-to-face classroom instruction has far more benefits for student learning than virtual “distance learning” through a computer screen.

“The Monster Behind Weather Engineering?”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/monster-high-crime-weather-engineering/5870475
by Peter Koenig
“Climate instability” is a soft term, for climate geoengineering, weather modification, extended into weather weaponizing. In other words, a crime on humanity.
Professor Michel Chossudovsky provides the historic and technical details concerning weather warfare that has been emerging slowly since WW II, and probably before.
For certain, whenever you hear “fake news” to comments and reports about geoengineering and weather weaponizing, you can be sure the so-called fake news are actually the truth. And this is the case for most everything else called “fake news”.
However, what tops it all, is the recent discovery through a former employee at the South Pole Station in Antarctica. He says, what he saw at the South Pole Station is “HAARP on steroids”. He became a whistleblower, who testified before the United States Senate.
HAARP stands for High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program. Since 2015, it is officially a University of Alaska Fairbanks project which researches the ionosphere – the highest, ionized part of Earth’s atmosphere. In reality, it has a long history of weather modification and climate geoengineering . . . .

“Covid-19 - Mass Formation or Mass Atrocity?”
https://unlimitedhangout.com/2022/11/investigative-reports/covid-19-mass-formation-or-mass-atrocity/
by David Hughes, Valerie Kyrie and Daniel Broudy
With the declaration of the pandemic that changed the world in March 2020, an army of thought police descended upon populations worldwide. Overnight, the public face of science was transformed from a civil and civilian endeavor into a matter of law and order. In place of what had formerly emanated from research communities came edicts from government officials, bolstered by celebrity bureaucrats, enforced by censorship, smearing, and coercion, and backed up by riot squads (e.g. here, here, here, here, here, here, and here). In the process, science as previously known, a careful product of time, hypothesis-testing, collective critique, and pertinent subject matter expertise, gave way to The Science™, a kaleidoscopic, ever-changing and capricious set of pseudo-medical justifications for government overreach and violations of citizens’ rights, riding on rolling waves of public messaging and manufactured fear, in keeping with a totalitarian model.
From the earliest days, there were those who could see these developments as dangerous, and those who could not. There were those who saw that the sharp turn away from democracy, due process, and human rights had nothing to do with empirical science whatsoever. And those who did not. The former have been mystified by the latter, and increasingly so as time has passed. Why can’t they see what’s going on?
For anyone who took seriously the entreaties to “follow the science”, as early as March 17th, when authorities were claiming to both know next-to-nothing about the “novel” coronavirus and yet, inexplicably, to have also settled The Science™, John Ioannidis (Professor of Medicine, Epidemiology, Population Health, Biomedical Data Science and Statistics at Stanford University), wrote: “The data collected so far on how many people are infected and how the epidemic is evolving are utterly unreliable.” He warned that while Covid-19 was being framed as a once-in-a-century pandemic, the science was shaping up to be a “once-in-a-century evidence fiasco” (Ioannidis, 2020).
Nevertheless, bureaucrats, government officials, tech moguls, social media personnel, and medical regulators studiously ignored Professor Ioannidis, a leading authority in his field, and proceeded, instead, to implement their “public health emergency”, Lockstep-style, as had already been planned through a series of “pandemic preparedness” exercises (eg Alexopulos, 2018; Gates, 2015; Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, 2017, 2019; O’Toole, Mair & Inglesby, 2002; Rockefeller Foundation, 2010; Simpson et al., 2020; WHO, 2017a, 2017b). The underlying weaponization of medicine and science and their casting into tools of oppression were enabled from the outset by a blitzkrieg of tried and tested propaganda techniques, as we have summarized previously (Broudy & Kyrie, 2022; Kyrie & Broudy, 2022a, 2022b). In concert, consistent with psychological operations tactics (Dhami, 2011; GCHQ, 2014; Kyrie & Broudy, 2022a), the enactment of the “public health emergency” was carefully fabricated by numerous means, many policies with origins that predated the announcement of the pandemic (Ardizzone, 2021; Business Wire, 2021; Deevoy, 2021; Farber, 2020; Mercola, 2022a; Truth for Health, 2022; Vilet, 2022a; Yeadon, 2022). These foundational fabrications included systematically withholding life-saving treatment.
Dr Harvey Risch, MD and Professor Emeritus of Epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health, whose work has been cited over 46,000 times, said of the FDA warning against Hydroxychloroquine:
“It’s a fraud …. This was the crux of the whole pandemic in the first place. The suppression of Hydroxychloroquine started before anyone even knew there was a pandemic … in fall of 2019 … [based on a] completely false theory [that was] completely impossible …. This medication’s been used in tens of billions of doses in hundreds of millions of people for half a century or more. It is one of the most important medications on the WHO list [and] one of the safest medications known . . . .

“Does Everyone Have to Die?”
https://off-guardian.org/2024/11/04/does-everyone-have-to-die/
by Tom Hayen
I’ve been told several times by people who have acted as human pincushions and are on their eighth Covid shot, “Well, I guess you were wrong! According to you, I should be dead by now!”
They say this with a spark of glee in their voice as if they have survived a tumultuous storm that they believe everyone vaccinated has obviously survived.
I don’t have the black heart required to respond with a flippant, “Not yet.” Partially because that is pretty dark-hearted, but also because I really am not certain. Maybe they will be perfectly fine. I used to hope everyone would be fine.
Now that my heart has indeed blackened a bit, I don’t know if I would care all that much if a number of these arrogant, righteous, virtue-signalling pincushions did succumb. I am, quite frankly, tired of being called a science-denying, conspiratorial, kook.
I am primarily taken aback by the comment, “See, you were wrong about everything.” How could they even come close to thinking that is a true statement? We weren’t really wrong about anything. At least nothing that I said. Sure, some aspects of this circus did not turn out as bad as some predicted (not yet at least)—such as the prediction that everyone who took the jab would be dead in five years (well, to be truthful about that one, five years has not yet passed!)
There were, indeed, a few extreme predictions. But those were typically at the bottom of the rabbit hole. Personally, I did venture down there occasionally, but I never threw that into a sheep’s face. For example, I never told a sheep friend who got jabbed, “You are going to be dead before five years have passed.” I did, many times, say I was worried, but I did not make sweeping definitive statements like that.
So, what else were we wrong about? Most of the big things we all predicted have not yet come to be. At least not everywhere, and not 100%. Some big things will wait until the next scamdemic hits—primarily because these big restrictions, oppressions, and mandates require a medical emergency (fear) to grease them into place.
The things that are clearly in their early and mid-stages are things like Digital IDs, Digital Currencies, bug consumption, death by turbo cancer, increase in heart malfunction, general immune deficiency, restricted international travel, and Smart Cities.
The things that have been happening all along and just got beefed up over the past four years are the slow demise and destruction of the human spirit and the death of humanity through various inhuman normalizations. These include but are not limited to, taking kids away from their parents so that surgical mutilations can be performed, brainwashing kids by addicting their psyches to cell phones, video games, and pornography, normalizing eternal war through an advocation of false nationalism and the delusional quest of every free person to protect what the agenda calls “democracy” against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
I could list, and discuss more, but this is a small article and not a book. I think all of you reading this know exactly what I am talking about.
So, the sheep think we shrews were all wrong—on nearly every count, even though their blessed mainstream news sources are telling them again and again that something horribly wrong did indeed happen during the Covid era. Of course, these news sources don’t tell it as it actually is (or was) but still, anyone listening to any of these news sources would know that something we shrews were all saying did make at least a little bit of sense. Now it does, for sure, even if back then they could see no evidence for it. So, what’s up with that?
You got me. Any time I try to make sense of “sheep-talk” I fail miserably. Just recently I ran across an article describing a new study that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Covid originated in nature and was not a lab leak. The comments on this article were mostly jabs (no pun intended) at all of those “conspiracy kooks” who claimed the virus was man-made in the Wuhan lab. These sorts of comments went on for pages, “Well, at least now those science-denying fools will shut their mouths.”
I didn’t even read the article. I don’t even know if it was legitimate. Who cares, really? I am of the mind that there never was a Covid virus—lab or naturally occurring. But the point I am making is that it takes nothing for these people to believe without consideration any bit of blabber-mouth news that contradicts anything that we “kooks” had to say back when all this started.
Once again, all logic is dismissed, and the mainstream narrative is carried on. No questions are asked, no one ponders on what all of this could have been. No one thinks about the intense discussions, the books written, the congressional hearings held, and the top-notch scientists who weighed in on the debate regarding the complexity of the virus and how it could not have been created in nature. None of that is considered.
All that IS considered is that anyone who went against the government narrative and explanation at the beginning of all of this is a conspiracy kook. Heil, mien Fuhrer! No one doubts the king!! To our death, we will serve you!
Before anyone considers that, maybe, just maybe, a concoction pulled together in 6 months with very little (if any) testing could maybe, just maybe, not work as well as expected. That maybe, just maybe, there was something more to this colossal cover-up regarding the origins of the virus and that it was so convenient that it would appear naturally in some bat guano, rather than a boo-boo made as a result of some illegal “gain of function” experiment in a poorly run bio-weapon lab in Communist China.
Give me a break.
So, maybe nearly everyone will have to die of some strange disease or affliction that conveniently started weeks after billions were jabbed with an immunologist’s excited wet-dream concoction thrown together at “warp-speed.”
Even then these sheep morons will dig themselves out from under a pile of rotting corpses exclaiming, “I wonder what in the hell happened?—must be Climate Change, or Trump.” Clueless, dazed, and confused. Eternally.

“The Erroneous Claim of Safety of the Covid Vaccine: Open Letter to Canada’s Fraser Health Authority”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/open-letter-fraser-health-authority/5871593
by Ted Kuntz, Dr. Bill Code, Dr. Mark Trozzi, and Christine Colebeck
It is time to cease the unqualified claim that “vaccines are safe, effective and necessary”.
Open Letter to the Fraser Health Authority
We are writing in response to the information currently being disseminated by various public health officers at the request of Fraser Health Authority utilizing the ‘Healthy Schools Communications Toolkit’.[1]
The broader medical community, the public, and especially parents look to health authorities such as Fraser Health Authority to provide accurate, up-to-date information to assist in making informed decisions regarding the health and safety of children.
Statements in the ‘Healthy Schools Communication Toolkit’ issued by Fraser Health Authority in recent weeks claim, with no conditions or qualifiers, that vaccines are ‘safe, effective and necessary’ for the health and safety of children.
These statements are inaccurate and misleading.
Of particular note for being misleading and outright dishonest are the following:
· Tdap-IPV: protects against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough) and polio.
· “Vaccines are safe and are your child’s best protection.”
· Repeatedly misrepresenting “vaccination” as “immunization”[2]
· “The COVID-19 vaccines . . . are safe, effective and will save lives.”
· “Vaccines do more than protect the people getting vaccinated, they also protect everyone around them. The more people in a community who are immunized and protected from COVID-19, the harder it is for COVID-19 to spread.”
· “The best way to protect others and reduce the risk of getting sick with the flu and COVID-19 is to get immunized. The flu and COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective and available for free to anyone aged six months and older. It is much safer to get the vaccines than to get the illnesses.”[3]
These statements are especially disconcerting given recent disclosures related to the lack of evidence of the safety of childhood vaccines and the COVID ‘vaccine’ in particular.
The COVID ‘Vaccine’
The claim of safety of the COVID ‘vaccine’ cannot be made in the face of the May 29, 2024 admission by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) in response to an order paper question from Conservative MP Cathay Wagantall.[4] The Public Health Agency of Canada acknowledged that booster recipients have higher death numbers than the unvaccinated. The report states:
“Across all weeks in the time period of interest, the number of deaths were highest among those with a primary series and 1 additional dose.”
Despite PHAC urging caution in interpreting the data, they fail to address their own misleading definitions when they identify vaccine recipients as “unvaccinated” during the first 14 days following vaccination, the period of high lethality after the injections. The misleading use of the term “unvaccinated” renders all information from the PHAC and Health Canada unreliable and validates the safety and efficacy concerns surrounding these products.
Researchers investigating the safety and effectiveness of Pfizer’s vaccine in fully vaccinated, partially vaccinated, and unvaccinated children and teens found cases of myocarditis and pericarditis only in vaccinated children.[5] The study also found that initial protection by BNT162b2 vaccination against positive SARS-CoV-2 tests in adolescents aged 12-15 had waned by 14 weeks after vaccination. Brian Hooker, Ph.D., chief scientific officer of Children’s Health Defense states:
“This study clearly shows that Pfizer’s COVID vaccine provides almost no benefit to children and adolescents but does increase their risk of myocarditis and pericarditis. It begs the question: Why does the CDC continue to recommend these unlicensed shots for kids? Where is the data they use to support their statement that the benefits of these vaccines outweigh the risks?”
On October 7, 2024, Florida State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo announced new guidance regarding mRNA vaccines.[6] The Florida Department of Health conducted an analysis to evaluate vaccine safety. This analysis found that there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination. Non-mRNA vaccines were not found to have these increased risks. As such, the State Surgeon General recommends against males aged 18 to 39 from receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
The Department continues to stand by its Guidance for Pediatric COVID-19 Vaccines, issued March 2022, which recommends against use in healthy children and adolescents 5 years old to 17 years old. This now includes recommendations against COVID-19 vaccination among infants and children under 5 years old.
The following is beyond medical debate and considered accepted medical knowledge:
· The COVID injections do not stop COVID infection or transmission.
· Healthy young people have essentially zero risk of serious illness and death from COVID.
· Since the COVID mRNA “vaccines” were given to the public, over 1.6 million adverse events and over 38,000 deaths related to these injections have been reported to the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) in the US. Among these toxicities, increased rates of myocarditis—sometimes fatal—in young people, especially boys, have been demonstrated in recipients of the mRNA injections.
· Additionally laboratory analysis has found high levels of DNA adulteration, and multiple undeclared genetic sequences in both Moderna and Pfizer Covid-19 genetic “vaccines”.
· The Pfizer and Moderna COVID mRNA injections, while commonly called vaccines, are not true vaccines, but a type of mRNA-based gene therapy. In effect, they are ‘vaccines-in-name-only’.

There is no legitimate medical justification for healthy children or young adults to receive the COVID mRNA injections. Any institution continuing to refer to these injections as ‘vaccines’ and declaring them to be “safe and effective” is intentionally misinforming the public and health practitioners alike. This demonstrates a blatant disregard for scientific evidence and the health of our children and youth.

“German Government Admits There Was No Pandemic”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/german-government-admits-there-was-no-pandemic/5853916
by Baxter Dmitry
Huge news out of Germany as the federal government have been forced to admit that so-called “conspiracy theorists” were right about everything during the Covid pandemic.
Introductory Note
What is significant is that the German Health authorities based on official data have now been obliged under Freedom of Information to reveal the devastating nature and impacts of the Covid lockdowns imposed on 190 countries, starting March 11, 2020.
Most of the independent studies including those conducted by Global Research have been the object of censorship.
Of Significance, the official documents of Germany’s Ministry of Health are consistent with the independent reports published in the course of more than 4 years pertaining to the COVID-19 lockdowns, the mandatory wearing of the face mask, and the experimental mRNA vaccines.

“Neo-liberalism: What Is It? What Is Wrong with It? What Next?”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/neo-liberalism-what-is-it-what-is-wrong-with-it-what-next/5678637
by Prof. Joseph H. Chung
[We repost this article by the late Prof. Joseph H. Chung, first published by GR in May 2019. Prof. Chung was an indefatigable voice on the politics of Asia-Pacific, especially on the dynamics of the Korean Peninsula.]
For the last four decades, we have been watching a new animal called neo-liberalism. At first, we did not know what it was; we hoped that it would bring global prosperity; we thought that the deregulation would be a blessing for the businesses, we hoped that the IMF doctrine of structural adjustment would strengthen the economies of developing countries; we imagined that the privatization of public corporations would improve the efficiency of the national economy; we wanted to believe that the free trade agreements would make us happier.
But, the doctrine of neo-liberalism has turned out to be a disappointment for many; it appears to be a blessing only for a few. Its performance has betrayed our hopes and expectations; it is so bad that it even threatens the very survival of the healthy free-market capitalism; its failure is so serious that we are now looking for new economic doctrines.
In this paper, I intend to share with the readers my honest concern for the future of neo-liberalism and the survival of the free-world capitalism. I am asking these questions. What is neo-liberalism? How destructive is it? What are the alternative doctrines?
1. What Is Neo-liberalism?
The developed economies, especially the U.S. economy, enjoyed rapid economic growth during several decades following the World War II, mainly due to the vast reconstruction of war torn social and industrial infrastructure and the production of civil goods and services which was not easy during the war.
However, by the end of the 1960s, the process of the reconstruction of infrastructure was almost completed and the shortage of goods and services for civil use was solved. In other words, the rate of economic growth of the economy slowed down. This meant declining profit for businesses and it was a challenge for businesses to deal with. To make the matter worse for the business, the oil crisis of the 1970s shot up the cost of production and provoked decade-long inflation and at the same time, rising unemployment, that is, the world had to cope with “stagflation”.
Stagflation is one of the rare economic phenomena observed in the free-market economy. When stagflation happens, inflation and wide spread unemployment occur at the same time. In normal cyclical variations of the economy, inflation is accompanied by employment increase.
Suppose that a large number of immigrants come into the country or the income of citizens rises so that the demand for housing and other goods and services increases. The result is the increase in the price of goods and services. If the cost of production does not increase as much the price increase, the expectation of profit improves; the producer will expand the production and create more jobs. In other words, inflation goes with job creation and GDP growth.
But, if inflation caused by the demand increase is accompanied by increasing unemployment, something is wrong. This is the stagflation and it happens when the supply of goods and services does not increase along with inflation. This happens when the inflation is caused by the increase in the cost of production more than price increase,
The decade of the 1970s was an era of stagflation in the U.S. To understand what happened we have to go back to the period of 1960s which was the decade of President Johnson’s heavy spending on welfare and war resulting in increased demand for goods and services. The period of 1960s was the decade of Lyndon Johnson’s (1963-1969) “The Great Society” of equality and prosperity.
The period of 1960s was also a decade of heavy spending for the Vietnam War. The heavy spending of the government led to the expansion of demand for goods and services. But industries were not able to produce consumer goods and services rapidly enough meet the rising demand. The end result was inflation caused by increasing demand; it was the demand-pull inflation.
Then, in 1973, the oil embargo by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) shot up the oil price provoking cost-push inflation. The 1973 oil crisis provoked a grave recession in 1974-1975. The GDP in the first quarter of 1974 fell by 3.4% compared to the same period of the previous year. In the first quarter of 1975, the GDP fell by 4.8%.The rate of unemployment was as high as 9%. At the same time, the price of consumer goods and services rose by 12% in 1975. This was how the U.S. had to cope with a brand new strange phenomenon called stagflation unknown in the past.
Hoping to get out of the recession, the Federal Reserve Board increased substantially the money supply; the money supply rose by 10% in the period 1970-1974 compared to an average money supply increase of 4% in the 1990s. The money supply was designed to fight the recession; the expansion of the money supply was additional factor for the inflation of the 1970s.
In short, the inflation of the 1770s was the combination of the three types of inflation: the demand-pull information, the cost-push inflation and the money supply-led inflation
Despite the price increase, the companies did not increase production and create new jobs. There were two main reasons. First, when inflation goes beyond a certain level, the future prospect of profit becomes uncertain and the producer waits and would not increase investments. Second, President Richard Nixon (1969-1974) imposed price control; in 1970, he introduced the ACOLA (Automatic Cost of Living Adjustment).
Moreover, Nixon raised tariffs on imported goods. To make the matter worse, after the removal of the U.S. currency from the gold standard regime, the value of the American dollar fell. The end result was the higher cost of getting imported parts and components.
The combination of these factors made industries to hesitate to invest, hire more people and produce more goods and services. Here you are. You have your stagflation.
In a way, the stagflation of the 1970s was partly the fault of the government policy, but the private sector was not entirely free from blame, for they could have better responded to the increased demand for goods and services brought about by Johnson’s expanded public spending related to his Great Society policy.
This unusual phenomenon has stirred up heated controversy over the selection of better economic doctrines and policy measures. The economic doctrine which had ruled the economic thought during two postwar decades was the Keynesian doctrine. In 1937, a British economist John Maynard Keynes published a book called “The General Theory of Employment, Investment and Interest” in which he proposed policy measure to combat economic recession; this was the Keynesianism.
The structure of national demand may be expressed in terms of a simple equation: Y= C + I + G + (X-M): Y represents GDP, or national demand; C, household consumption expenditure; I, companies’ investment expenditures; G, government expenditures; X, value of exports; M, value of imports.
Suppose that the economy is suffering from severe recession and that the government is looking for measures to overcome the recession. Of these five variables in the above equation, all the four variables, except G, belong to the decision of the private sector; they are beyond government’s direct control; the only variable which can be controlled directly by the government is its own expenditures, G. Hence, the best way of overcoming the economic recession is the expansion of government expenditures.
The controversy was about whether the Keynesian remedy can solve the stagflation. The experience of stagflation of the 1970s has made a large number of economic think tanks, academics and politicians began to look at the freer private market as being better equipped than the government for the solution of economic problems. This was the theoretical justification for making the private market freer and even more liberal than the previous liberal private market. In other words, they were looking for new (neo) liberalism.
There is a basic difference between Keynesian remedy and neoliberal remedy of solving economic recession; the former relies on the demand side of the economy, while the latter, on the supply side. In fact, the postwar neo-liberalism is sometimes called the “supply-side economics”..
The neo-liberalism was boldly applied by British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher and U.S. President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. However, it was more formally structured by the concept of “Washington Consensus” by John William of the Institute of International Economics in Washington. William suggests ten points for the solution of economic problem.
Of these ten points, some are relevant to neo-liberalism; they are tax cuts for firms, smaller government, free-market determined interest rate, competitive exchange rate, trade liberalization, liberalization of foreign investments, privatization of government-owned enterprises, and deregulation. There is one more part in the Washington Consensus, namely the Structural Adjustment Policy conceived by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) imposed on countries indebted to the IMF.
All of these measures are designed to minimize government interventions in national economic matters. But, a more important point is that they are in fact designed to let the private enterprises to make as much profit as they can without government interference.
In the final analysis, these measures allow the human greed to rule the economy. Why not? After all, the greed is the most powerful motivational factor of hard work; but, it is at the same time, the most devastating factor of immorality and the merciless exploitation of the weak.
The world led by unbound human greed ends up by destroying itself.
There is one more instrument in the tool bag of neo-liberalism; it is the system of Structural Adjustment imposed by the neoliberal policy makers, especially the International Monetary Fund (IMF); this measure requires, as the condition of IMF loans, the transformation of the debtor country into neoliberal free market system economy.
2. What Is Wrong with Neo-liberalism?
In this section, I will deal with the impact of the following neoliberal measures: deregulation, privatization, free trade and structural adjustment and the global production chains.
2.1 Deregulation
The measure of deregulation affects a host of sectors of the economy. The deregulation of the entry of new firms, foreign investments, labour unions and a host of other deregulations are all designed to minimize government interventions and let the private firms to make more money..
One of the most important deregulation is the removal of regulations designed to protect labour union rights. This type of deregulation is expected to produce labour flexibility; this means restriction of unionization of workers, abolition of minimum wage and prohibition of labour strike. The end result of labour related deregulation is lay-offs, increase in part-time works and inequitable income distribution.
The most devastating deregulation is that of national and international finance. This deregulation is truly one of the key elements of the neoliberal regime. It has allowed the global integration of finance on the one hand and, on the other hand, it has permitted the creation of unlimited range of financial products. Moreover, under the neoliberal regime, the international mobility of funds has no barriers.

The trouble is that these mobile funds are not development funds but highly speculative funds. In fact, the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 initiated in Thailand was caused by the sudden flight of speculative funds.

“Billionaire BlackRock CEO: ‘Doesn’t Matter’ Who Wins US Election; Trump & Kamala Harris Benefit Wall Street”
by Ben Norton
(29:53)
The billionaire CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has said it “really doesn’t matter” who wins the US presidential election, because both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will be good for Wall Street.
“I’m tired of hearing this is the biggest election in your lifetime. The reality is over time it doesn’t matter”, said BlackRock chief Larry Fink at an October 21 conference hosted by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, according to the Financial Times.
“It really doesn’t matter”, Fink reiterated. He revealed that, at BlackRock, “we work with both administrations and are having conversations with both candidates”.
BlackRock has $11.5 trillion assets under management, making it the biggest investment company on Earth.
BlackRock has a revolving door with the US government. Veterans of the asset manager have held high-level roles in the Joe Biden administration’s Treasury. A BlackRock executive has likewise served as a prominent economic advisor for Kamala Harris.
Trump’s Treasury, on the other hand, was run by Goldman Sachs’ former chief information officer, Steven Mnuchin, who made a fortune as a hedge fund manager.

“Don’t buy the hype, 2024 is no 2016”
https://off-guardian.org/2024/11/07/dont-buy-the-hype-2024-is-no-2016/
by Kit Knightly
So, Donald Trump is President-Elect. Again. His female opponent refused to appear to talk to her supporters and waited almost a day to give a concession speech. Again. Democrats are rending their garments wondering what happened. Again. MAGAheads are thirstily slurping up salty liberal tears. Again. We’re going to Make America Great Again. Again.
Remember that bit in Groundhog Day where Bill Murray is trying to use his position of being stuck reliving the same day over and over again to construct the perfect date, and he gets pretty close. He and his chosen date have this almost perfect moment…
…then, the next go through the cycle, he tries to do the same thing again, and it’s all wrong. Everything is stilted and forced and it doesn’t work. He tries too hard, grasps too tight.
That was how it felt watching the polls into the early hours of the morning – from both sides.
I’ll be honest here – waking up after Polling Day 2016 to see Clinton had lost is a great memory. I was never a Trump believer, but Clinton was unequivocally worse – than almost anything you can name – and to see the smugness of certain victory detonate into an implosion of stammering bitterness was…funny. And a relief. And funny.
A lot of people thought so.
I get the impression the organizers of (S)election 2024 are well aware of that & were trying to recreate that energy, Groundhog Day fashion.
But of course they can’t. Because this isn’t 2016. And Harris isn’t Clinton, and Trump isn’t even Trump, as he seemed go be then. Then at least there was some wild card elements to his game, now we know who he is.
2016 at least had the appearance of a genuine moment. Our astonishment at least was real. But in 2024 even that much reality has gone. And it feels like everyone knows it.
Remakes are never as good as the original. Cashgrabs banking nostalgia bucks. Soul vs soulless.
The Democrats and Kamala-stans are squawking brainwashed nonsense all over social media – racism this, misogyny that – but it feels like motions being gone through. Parts being performed. The wounds are neither as deep nor as vital as they were in 2016.
The outrage is forced. Even the enthusiasm from pro-Trumpers isn’t the same.
Clinton was a dragon that needed slaying; decades at the top of the pyramid had furnished her influence and cult-like loyalty, mirrored by those many accumulated resentments which fuelled the fireworks when she lost.
Harris had neither the pros nor cons of that legacy. She was never Clinton, and she’s neither of the Obamas, though they tried, at times, to paint her as each. She has no weight or presence and those followers she was gifted would follow anything that moved.
We’ve also had four years of Trump already.
Four years in which he not only spectacularly failed to “drain the swamp”, but also went right along with the Covid psyop and the vaccine rollouts and the lockdowns. All of it.
Then there is the massive reality of “covid” itself, and everything it taught us about the nature of power. I have said it many times, but that display of common purpose among what, for want of a better word, we call “the elites” drove huge numbers of people out of the mainstream and into the fringes.
Everyone on every “side” of the political divide might want to pretend this is Hillary all over again. That 2024 is just like 2016, but too many of us remember what they spent the last four years telling us. The “divisions” are a lie, the “disagreements” veneer deep.
Even if we want to get back inside Frank Zappa’s theatre and pretend we can’t see the brick walls (and it could be argued a Trump victory is an attempt to win us back), none of us can really forget the lesson we learned.
Faith and trust are fine china, much easier to break than repair.
Getting back inside the Matrix is much harder than getting out.
We also had the “election” of 2020 which was so blatantly and obviously stolen that it calls all other elections into question, forever. Trump even being allowed to run this time was a sign he was part of a constructed narrative, his “victory” doubly so.
His supporters might claim that Covid confusion made the 2020 election an exception and therefore easier to manipulate than others before or since. The rallying cry on social media is that this time The Donald’s victory was “too big to rig”.
But that rings hollow. Like an attempted excuse no one really believes.
The fact of the matter is Trump was either allowed to win, or made to win, and either way, it’s just further evidence he’s yet another compromised puppet.
The reality is just that simple.
The 2024 election was a contrived event putting a puppet into office to serve a Deep State agenda. Just like 2020 or 2012 or 2000 or…all of them really, back to at least 1964.
The real winner of the election is The Deep State. There was never anyone else on the ballot.
Remakes are never a patch on the original . . . .

“Let’s talk about….Trump’s “victory”, and what happens next”
https://off-guardian.org/2024/11/06/lets-talk-about-trumps-victory-and-what-happens-next/
by The Editor, OffGuardian
Most of the votes are counted, most of the states declared and, barring some shenanigans, Trump will serve his second term as President.
In the end, the evening passed without much incident. Staying up all night in case something interesting happened was as fruitless as it was cold.
Early in the proceedings, there were “bomb threats” reportedly called into polling centres in swing states. The FBI, with an eagerness one might associate with knowing the answer before the question is even asked, immediately claimed they “originated from Russia”.
A boring and somewhat dated gambit that never really went anywhere (although it might re-emerge down the line).
No, the election part seems to be over. No riots, no contested results, no civil war (for now).
Maybe that was the point. Fooling people into “getting back to normal”. Replaying a greatest hit to win back an old audience.
Whatever the motivation or agenda, we are presented with a Trump victory, and a very comfortable one. Team Red are expected to take both houses of Congress and already have a majority in the Supreme Court.
There’s no stalemate here. No equivocation over democratic mandate because of a close result or losing the popular vote. If you believe that elected officials actually wield power in our system, then Trump hypothetically has all the power he needs to do whatever he wants.
That means Musk and RFK in the cabinet. It means another game of “drain the swamp”, and taking the fluoride out of your water and safety-testing vaccines.
….but will any of that really happen?
· Will the Democrats certify the results or contest them?
· Will the transfer of power be peaceful?
· Will Trump really “drain the swamp” this time?
· Will RFK really de-fluoridate the water?
· What about Ukraine and Israel?
· What does a Trump presidency mean for the rollout of the Great Reset?
· What’s the next chapter in this story?

“Increasingly Desperate Deep State – One Step Away from Checkmate”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/deep-state-one-step-checkmate/5871819
by Julian Rose
Those global despots, united by their common hatred of sentient humanity, do not actually hold the power. Do not have control of the life force, nor the means to get that control.
All their cards are stacked on winning a psychological battle for the human mind. But everyday that veneer of omnipotence is getting thinner; more transparent; more discordant.
They are unable to play their ‘master-stroke’, because they realise that if they make that move it will lead to their own extermination.
They cannot alter the universal karmic law that every action brings about its equal and opposite reaction – so they have to work via perception controlling acts of stealth that get mankind to take the actions on their behalf.
This is the key to the success of their deceiving methodology. They – the less than human dark energies – have no creative ability of their own. They cannot actually ‘do’ anything. But they can trick humanity into doing their bidding for them.
The despotic architects of control operate via an energetic connection with those non human dark energies residing outside the three dimensional fields that preoccupy the majority of mankind.
Their capacity for domination is entirely dependent upon the existence of this symbiotic relationship.
The entire see-sawing drama of existence pivots around a clash between the dark tricksters powers to deceive and the good humans power to resist and expose these deceptions.
The stage is thus set for a titanic struggle, the essence of which involves ‘we mankind’ realising – in large enough numbers – that we allowed ourselves to be comprehensively tricked into acting according to a script written and directed by the great deceivers for the great deceivers.
What I am going to report today is that that realisation is growing faster than the ability of the dark side to stifle it.
The deceivers no longer go to the trouble of making covert moves on the global chess board. They have gone overt and their raw arrogance has had the affect of shocking sentient humans on a deeper level than previously experienced.
Due to this a strange common power of mind is moving amongst a steadily expanding percentage of the population. The message therein is
“We are the true masters of the chessboard of life on earth, the moment has come to exert our God given powers of self motivated resistance and rebirth.”
READ MORE: Engineering a Cult of Chaos to Undermine Rational Thinking.
Those who try to deceive humanity into believing that it is incapable of being anything more than a game devised entirely for their own ends, are losing confidence in their ability to hold in check a rising tide of the collective unconscious of humanity.
They had thought that they had all the moves on the chessboard covered. They thought that blanket coverage of death and destruction, chaos, immorality, bestiality and a narcissistic infatuation with selfish self interest – would be enough to drive humanity into a state of abject slavery and submission to their every demand.
That by subjecting the population to a daily diet of fear based doomsday predictive planning and mass mind control, any remaining will to resist would be crushed into irreversible surrender . . . .

“BRICS Summit Should End Neocon Delusions”
https://consortiumnews.com/2024/11/05/brics-summit-should-end-neocon-delusions/
by Jeffrey Sachs
The majority of the world does not want or accept U.S. hegemony and is prepared to face it down rather than submit to its dictates, writes Jeffrey D. Sachs.
The recent BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia, should mark the end of the Neocon delusions encapsulated in the subtitle of Zbigniew Brzezinski’s 1997 book, The Global Chessboard: American Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives.
Since the 1990s, the goal of American foreign policy has been “primacy,” aka global hegemony. The U.S. methods of choice have been wars, regime-change operations and unilateral coercive measures (economic sanctions).
Kazan brought together 35 countries with more than half the world population that reject the U.S. bullying and that are not cowed by U.S. claims of hegemony.
In the Kazan Declaration, the countries underscored “the emergence of new centres of power, policy decision-making and economic growth, which can pave the way for a more equitable, just, democratic and balanced multipolar world order.”
They emphasized “the need to adapt the current architecture of international relations to better reflect the contemporary realities,” while declaring their “commitment to multilateralism and upholding the international law, including the Purposes and Principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations (U.N.) as its indispensable cornerstone.”
They took particular aim at the sanctions imposed by the U.S. and its allies, holding that “Such measures undermine the UN Charter, the multilateral trading system, the sustainable development and environmental agreements.”

“Latin American Governments Pay a Price For Challenging Israel’s Genocidal War “
by John Perry
Governments in Latin America have been at the forefront of opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and several of those which have done so suddenly face new threats, even including attempted coups. Adrienne Pine, a professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies, said during a recent webinar hosted by the Nicaragua Solidarity Coalition that “anybody who stands with Palestine is going to be attacked in Latin America by the U.S. and by Zionists.”
Recent events appear to show the truth of her remarks.
Of the 165 countries that recognize Israel, only four have officially cut diplomatic ties with the country since it began its Gaza offensive, and all of them are Latin American: Bolivia, Belize, Colombia and Nicaragua (Venezuela severed its ties with Israel in 2009 while Cuba broke off relations during the Yom Kippur War of 1973).
A further eight countries have withdrawn their diplomats from Tel Aviv since October 7, 2023, of which Chile, Brazil, and Honduras are from Latin America.

“Cuba Becomes Associate Member of BRICS”

Repeating role as member of Cold War Non-Aligned Movement
Cuba was accepted with 12 other countries as an associate member of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) at the 16th BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia in late October.
The other new associate members, which bring the BRICS grouping to over 4.6 billion people, or 57% of global population, are Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.
The expansion of BRICS grants the new associate member countries the status of “partners,” a position that could open the door to full BRICS membership in the future.

The devastation of Hurricane Oscar, which hit Cuba on October 18th, has significantly worsened the deep crisis of the island’s electric grid. The U.S. government and its media lackeys are trying to blame the socialist government for supposed mismanagement of the country’s power system, but the reality is that the biggest contributor to the situation is the U.S. blockade of Cuba.
On October 22nd, The People’s Forum published an open letter in the New York Times calling on President Biden to overturn the Trump administration’s anti-Cuba policies. Biden has 90 days left in his term to restore the Obama-era reforms and steps towards normalization that are desperately needed.
We talk more about the history of the criminal blockade and its impact on Cuba.

“Failure of U.S. Leaders Should Precipitate More Efforts at People’s Diplomacy—Like in the Vietnam War Era “
by Jérémy Kuzmarov
On September 19, the Vietnam Peace Commemoration Committee hosted a webinar focused on the significant impact of women in the Vietnam era anti-war movement.
The first speaker, Vivian Rothstein, who was drawn to anti-war activism after participating in the Mississippi Freedom Summer, spoke about her participation in a conference in 1967 in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, with 40 other American peace activists who met with members of the resistance in North and South Vietnam, including Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, a top official with the southern-based National Liberation Front (NLF).
Vivian Rothstein [Source: vnpeacecomm.blogspot.com]
The Bratislava conference was co-organized by Tom Hayden, co-founder of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), and provided an opportunity for U.S. peace activists to learn directly from Vietnamese about what the U.S. government was doing.
Rothstein said that the Vietnamese women asked to meet separately with the American women who were part of the delegation. They told them about horrific rapes being carried out by U.S. soldiers, bombing of villages, and parachuting of Vietnamese women onto U.S. military bases to serve as sexual playthings for U.S. GIs.
The Vietnamese women hoped that the American women would go back to their communities to tell people what was really going on, with the belief that they would pressure the U.S. government to end the war.
Rothstein said that the Bratislava conference was very meaningful for everyone who participated in it and a good example of people’s diplomacy—citizens getting together, independent of their government, to build ties and work toward peace.
Such efforts are urgently needed in the present day amidst the complete breakdown of U.S. diplomacy—whether in the Middle East, Far East, or toward Russia at a time of escalating conflict that could lead to nuclear war or World War III.
During the last presidential debate, Vice President Kamala Harris scoffed at Donald Trump for suggesting the need for a cease-fire in Ukraine and made clear her intent to continue the Biden administration’s policy of fighting “to the last Ukrainian.”
Further, Harris attacked Trump for “exchanging love letters” with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un—a reference to his visit to Pyongyang, which should be regarded as one of the few good things Trump did during his presidency.
Harris’s hostility to diplomacy and use of neo-McCarthyite slanders—directed against an extreme right-wing figure like Trump, no less—reflects the toxic environment in Washington underlying the permanent warfare state.
The peace movement ought to follow the example of the Vietnam era anti-war movement in carrying out citizen diplomacy and forging connections with activists and government leaders in countries targeted by the U.S. for attack.

“How an Obscure Michigan State Professor Who Worked For the CIA Played a Leading Role in Facilitating U.S. Intervention in Vietnam”
by Jérémy Kuzmarov
Ngo Dinh Diem, South Vietnam’s premier from 1954 to 1963, was a Cold War version of Volodymyr Zelensky, an American-subsidized ruler who was fawned upon by leading U.S. politicians and the U.S. media despite causing the ruin of his own country.
Lyndon B. Johnson at one point compared Diem to Winston Churchill—though privately admitted: “Shit, Diem’s the only boy we got out there.”[1]
Diem’s disastrous rule set the stage for the escalation of American involvement in the Vietnam War. His repressive policies fueled the growth of the National Liberation Front (NLF) guerrillas—aka Vietcong—which U.S. troops were sent to fight against.
Wesley R. Fishel was a political science professor at Michigan State University (MSU) in the early 1950s, with a background in U.S. military intelligence, who developed a close relationship with Diem and served as a key lobbyist for him and liaison between him and the U.S. government. For many years, Fishel headed an MSU program that trained South Vietnam’s police to help bolster Diem’s regime and provided training to South Vietnamese civil servants in government administration.

“How Israel's wars and Trump comeback are changing Iran's national security doctrine”
by Seyed Hossein Mousavian
The ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon are redefining Tehran's strategy, as it solidifies alliances with eastern powers and prepares to face off against Nato.
On Tuesday, Donald Trump was elected as the 47th president of the United States. During his election campaign, he promised to end the war in the Middle East, which helped him gain the support of Muslim-Americans and Arab-Americans.
Israel’s devastating wars on Gaza and Lebanon, along with back-and-forth attacks involving Iran, have brought the Middle East to a boiling point, amid the prospect of a disastrous, all-out regional conflict.
Over the past year, almost all of Gaza’s 2.3 million people have been displaced, while nearly a quarter of the Lebanese population have fled their homes. It is estimated that the death toll in Gaza, including both direct and indirect deaths, could ultimately exceed 186,000.
More than 15,000 Lebanese people have been killed or injured, and most of Gaza has been levelled by Israeli bombs, with schools, hospitals and residential homes destroyed.
Israel’s strategy to eradicate Hamas and Hezbollah, coupled with Iran’s full support for the axis of resistance and the Palestinian people, have fuelled the military confrontation between Tel Aviv and Tehran. This could turn into a prolonged back-and-forth conflict, shifting Iran’s national security doctrine and the regional political landscape.

“How will Donald Trump approach Israel's wars on Lebanon and Gaza?”
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/how-donald-trump-appraoch-israel-wars-lebanon-and-gaza
by Sean Mathews
President-elect's victory was welcomed by far-right Israeli ministers who have called on Israel to cede ground to far-right settler movement
Donald Trump is returning to the White House with a vow to end foreign wars.
In the Middle East, he faces two blistering conflicts, one in Gaza and one in Lebanon - which will test that pledge?
Trump pitched himself to American voters as a strong leader and dealmaker. When asked about Israel’s war in Gaza, he said he wanted to "get it over with and let’s get back to peace and stop killing people".
In Gaza, Israel is waging a bloody offensive that it launched after the Hamas-led 7 October 2023 attacks on southern Israel. Hezbollah began firing rockets at Israel the next day, in what it said was in solidarity with Palestinians. Israel responded with a devastating bombing campaign and ground invasion that has so far killed over 43,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and 3,000 Lebanese.
The fighting in Lebanon has snowballed into a sort of regional battle to realign the balance of power in the Middle East, with Israel and the US on one side and Iran and its so-called "axis of resistance" on the other.

Trump’s statements on ending the wars and disengaging from the Middle East are going to run up against his staunch support for Israel and desire to reimplement a campaign of "maximum pressure" against Iran.
"Trump will more likely see Iran as a clear threat that needs to be contained, not through war, but strict enforcement of sanctions, namely on Iran's oil exports," James Jeffrey, a former senior US official for Trump, told Middle East Eye.
"There were Ukraine-related and ideological reasons for Biden not to enforce sanctions. Trump will not have such constraints."
Trump himself said he believed Iran was in "a lot of danger" because of Israel’s attacks on Tehran's axis of resistance. Trump made the comments before Israel launched direct strikes on Iran.
Alan Pino, a former CIA and National Intelligence Council officer for the Middle East, said: "The basic starting point for Trump is going to be unquestioning support for Israel."
"So, I think Trump will be satisfied if there are movements in the right direction on ending those wars, but he won’t be obsessed with it."

“Israel, Blackmail & the Presidents”
https://consortiumnews.com/2024/11/05/israel-blackmail-the-presidents/
by Sam Husseini
Just days before Election Day, WikiLeaks reported: “Author of book about the Trump White House, Michael Wolff, claims to have 100 hours of Epstein talking about Trump but releases only a one minute fragment.”
More along these lines is now atop pages like The Daily Beast with journalistic scoops like “Epstein claiming Trump liked to ‘f—’ his friends’ wives.”
I didn’t realize until recently that Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s stepfather, Samuel Pisar — who Blinken has invoked at high profile events — was not only lawyer and confidant to media mogul and Mossad “super spy” Robert Maxwell but apparently to Jeffrey Epstein himself.
Robert Maxwell was of course father of Ghislaine Maxwell who was Epstein’s partner in crime.
Mug shot of Epstein from Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Department in 2006. (Wikimedia Commons)
It has been largely kept from public view and understanding in numerous ways, but there is substantial evidence that the Epstein network was involved in gathering information on political figures from both parties which could be used for blackmail. The molesting of the girls was often apparently the insidious means, not the ultimate goal. The above referenced Daily Beast piece, to take the most recent example, does not contain the word “blackmail.”
Elizabeth Vos of Consortium News has reported that “Epstein’s death was ruled a ‘suicide’ by New York’s chief medical examiner. A pathologist hired by Epstein’s brother said it was homicide.”
Blinken has a very long relationship with U.S. President Joe Biden. In 2002, he was appointed staff director for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee when Biden was the chair of the committee and played a critical role in ensuring the invasion. He was Biden’s national security adviser when Biden was vice president.
Biden has repeatedly displayed a propensity for touching females — including young girls — inappropriately.
Many have argued that Biden and Blinken have been more supportive of Israeli criminality than any other U.S. administration. What other factors and mechanisms might be at play besides the power of the Israel lobby and alleged strategic imperatives?
Of course slaughtering thousands of Palestinian children in Gaza overshadows any sexual abuse Epstein and his political associates committed.
Sarah Kendzior has noted that in addition to Pisar being Maxwell’s lawyer, “after Maxwell died, Pisar became Jeffrey Epstein’s advisor.” She describes Maxwell as an Israeli “superspy” who “socialized with Trump and a variety of Iran-Contra operatives in the 1980s.”
She cites the French outlet Le Parisien which reported in 2019 that Pisar “acted as an intermediary between Epstein” and the law firm representing him.
Whitney Webb, author of One Nation Under Blackmail: The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime that Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein, has reported that “Alex Acosta — who arranged Epstein’s ‘sweetheart’ deal in 2008 and resigned as Donald Trump’s labor secretary following Epstein’s arrest — claimed that the mysterious billionaire had worked for ‘intelligence.’” Some have assumed that meant C.I.A., but as Webb has argued, it could well (also) mean Mossad.
Maxwell’s father, Robert, worked with the Mossad according to several books including Seymour Hersh’s The Samson Option: Israel’s Nuclear Arsenal and American Foreign Policy.

“‘Drop it and we’ll bomb you’: Israeli soldiers mark displaced Palestinians with glow sticks”
by Maha Hussaini in Deir al-Balah, occupied Palestine
Legal expert warns Israel’s use of such arbitrary methods could make civilians vulnerable to targeted attacks.
After being expelled from Gaza’s Jabalia under intense bombing, and following hours of questioning, Israeli soldiers handed Samir* a glowing stick.
He was then forced to flee south and was given a simple instruction: drop the light and you will be bombed.
It is a new practice by Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip to mark forcibly displaced Palestinians, eyewitnesses have told Middle East Eye.
The light sticks, originally intended for emergency signalling or visibility in the dark, are being used to indicate which group of Palestinians has been interrogated, cleared and is following orders for forced displacement from northern Gaza.

“How Arab autocrats enabled Israel's Gaza genocide”
https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/arab-autocrats-israel-gaza-genocide-enabled-how
by Maged Mandour
Defeating the Arab democracy movement left autocratic states hollowed out and often reliant on US and Israeli support to survive. Palestinians cannot expect help anytime soon
As Israel continues its genocidal war in Gaza, and expands it to Lebanon, most Arab countries appear to be mere observers or enablers of the massacre of Palestinian and Lebanese civilians on an unprecedented scale.
Even with the threat of a large-scale regional war looming, which could have extremely destabilising effects on the entire region, the ability and desire of Arab states to restrain Israeli imperial hubris appears to be non-existent.
There is good reason to argue that the main enabler of the current crisis engulfing the Middle East is none other than the United States, which has effectively funded the Israeli wars on Gaza and Lebanon, with aid topping $17.9bn since 7 October 2023. It has also provided diplomatic cover to Israel and given its far-right government the green light to expand the war into Lebanon.
This, however, misses an important aspect of the dynamic. Namely, Israel's colonial hubris regards having the ability to reshape the Middle East through mass violence being fed by the autocratic nature of the Arab states and the failure of the democratic movement in the region.
More than a decade after the mass revolts that swept the region, the result is weak states, with contested legitimacy, only able to exercise power over their own citizens through mass violence - not dissimilar to the way that Israel is treating the Palestinians.
In many ways, the logic of regime survival at any cost has eroded the ability of these states to influence events in the region - and, in some cases, the social foundation of the national state itself.

“Turmoil at the ICC as Fears Rise Over Israel and the US Interference”
by Craig Mokhiber
On May 20, 2024, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Karim Khan, submitted a request to the ICC for warrants to arrest Israeli leaders Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity, including extermination.
In the same statement, he included an extraordinary warning, saying “I insist that all attempts to impede, intimidate or improperly influence the officials of this Court must cease immediately. My Office will not hesitate to act pursuant to article 70 of the Rome Statute if such conduct continues.”
The Prosecutor did not elaborate on the source of the threats against the ICC officials.
The Court, in accordance with its established procedures, then assigned the case to a three-judge, pre-trial chamber, presided over by Judge Iulia Motoc.
Only eight days after the Prosecutor announced the warrant requests and his warning about intimidation of Court officials, the Guardian and +972 Magazine published an exposé revealing a decade of interference, pressure, and threats by notorious Israeli intelligence agencies against personnel of the International Criminal Court in order to derail investigations of Israeli crimes.
But by then the Court had gone silent on the Palestine file- a silence that would last for five months. Court watchers were left to wonder, and worry, about the unprecedented delay in the issuance of the warrants.
And then, as if on cue, sometime around early October, pro-Israel publications began circulating anonymous allegations accusing the ICC Prosecutor of harassing a female staff member.
Just days later, on October 20, 2024, the ICC announced that Motoc, the Presiding Judge of the three-judge pre-trial chamber assigned to decide whether to issue arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister and Defense Minister, had suddenly stepped down.
Citing unspecified “health reasons,” the Court provided no further information. Motoc was replaced by Slovenian Judge Beti Hohler, with French Judge Nicolas Guillou now Presiding over the chamber.
In ordinary times, these developments might hardly be noticed. But these are not ordinary times, and this is no ordinary case.
Israel, a state that had enjoyed 75 years of Western-backed impunity, was finally, it seemed, being called to account for its crimes. Already on trial for genocide in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and the subject of a series of provisional orders there, Israeli leaders received notice in May from across town in The Hague that the net was continuing to close.
The request submitted in May by the prosecutor to the ICC for warrants to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant brought a predictable response from Israel, which launched angry recriminations, invective, and the usual tactical smears against the Court.
It was instantly joined by its Western government allies in attacking the Prosecutor’s request, with U.S. officials going so far as to threaten the Court itself.
Now, the delay in issuing the warrants, followed by the announcement of the replacement of the presiding judge, has raised serious concerns about the functioning of the Court, and about possible machinations behind the scenes.

Bobby Is "Demoralizing" Public Health Experts
“RFK Jr.’s new bully pulpit sends public health shock waves”
https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4981959-trump-robert-kennedy-health-agencies/
by Nathaniel Weixel
President-elect Trump’s promise to let Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “go wild” on health is demoralizing public health experts, who worry he could meddle with key government agencies, amplify vaccine hesitancy and direct agency funding to favor his preferred views.
Those include removing fluoride from public water, promoting a wide variety of unorthodox and unproven treatments and pushing a deep skepticism of pharmaceutical companies and the agencies overseeing them.
But with Trump’s victory, Kennedy could soon be in charge of those same agencies.
“FDA’s war on public health is about to end,” Kennedy wrote on social media shortly before the election, referring to the Food and Drug Administration.
“This includes its aggressive suppression of psychedelics, peptides, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapies, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, clean foods, sunshine, exercise, nutraceuticals and anything else that advances human health and can’t be patented by Pharma. If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you: 1. Preserve your records, and 2. Pack your bags.”
During a victory speech early Wednesday morning, Trump declared the country had delivered him and Republicans an “unprecedented mandate.”
That will mean big changes to health, starting with Kennedy.
Kennedy and Trump have been vague about what the former’s role could be, with Trump advisers and Kennedy mentioning agriculture as well as vaccine policy. There have been conflicting statements about whether Trump would put Kennedy in a Senate-confirmed Cabinet spot such as secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).
In separate interviews with NPR and NBC on Wednesday, Kennedy said he wouldn’t take vaccines away from anybody. But he also repeated his criticism that health agencies haven’t done enough research on vaccines.
“We are going to make sure that Americans have good information right now. The science on vaccine safety particularly has huge deficits, and we’re going to make sure those scientific studies are done and that people can make informed choices about their vaccinations and their children’s vaccinations,” Kennedy told NPR.
Vaccines have been around for centuries, and modern vaccines have for decades protected hundreds of millions of Americans against diseases like measles, rubella, polio, meningitis and even the flu. Public health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have reams of results from clinical studies and real-world data showing vaccines are safe and effective.
Experts say there are institutional guardrails in place at federal agencies that would prevent some of the most radical changes from happening, such as having vaccines pulled off the market. Pushback from courts, industry and Congress could temper Trump and Kennedy’s vision for radical changes.
But they are concerned Kennedy could still have an outsized impact.
“I worry greatly for the future of public health, environment and science in the next four years,” said Lawrence Gostin, a global health law professor at Georgetown University Law Center.
In his speech Wednesday at Mar-a-Lago — with Kennedy in attendance — Trump promised that Kennedy would “help make America healthy again” and that “we’re going to let him do it.”

He advocates for a two-state solution as a sustainable path to peace in the Middle East and criticizes extreme policies from Israeli leaders aiming to annex the West Bank. Sachs also discusses the geopolitical implications of the ongoing Ukraine conflict and calls for diplomatic solutions with Russia.

Kiriakou, who blew the whistle on the torture program, ended up being jailed for 23 months. For more, we speak with John Kiriakou, who spent 14 years at the CIA as an analyst and case officer.
