scheerpost | srael will appear triumphant after it finishes its genocidal campaign in Gaza and the West Bank.
Backed by the United States, it will achieve its demented goal. Its
murderous rampages and genocidal violence will exterminate or ethnically
cleanse Palestinians. Its dream of a state exclusively for Jews, with
any Palestinians who remain stripped of basic rights, will be realized.
It will revel in its blood-soaked victory. It will celebrate its war
criminals. Its genocide will be erased from public consciousness and
tossed into Israel’s huge black hole of historical amnesia. Those with a
conscience in Israel will be silenced and persecuted.
But by the time Israel achieves its decimation of Gaza — Israel is talking about months
of warfare — it will have signed its own death sentence. Its facade of
civility, its supposed vaunted respect for the rule of law and
democracy, its mythical story of the courageous Israeli military and
miraculous birth of the Jewish nation, will lie in ash heaps. Israel’s
social capital will be spent. It will be revealed as an ugly,
repressive, hate-filled apartheid regime, alienating younger generations
of American Jews. Its patron, the United States, as new generations
come into power, will distance itself from Israel the way it is
distancing itself from Ukraine. Its popular support, already eroded in
the U.S., will come from America’s Christianized fascists who
see Israel’s domination of ancient Biblical land as a harbinger of the
Second Coming and in its subjugation of Arabs a kindred racism and white
supremacy.
Palestinian blood and suffering — 10 times the number of children have been killed in
Gaza as in two years of war in Ukraine — will pave the road to Israel’s
oblivion. The tens, perhaps hundreds, of thousands of ghosts will have
their revenge. Israel will become synonymous with its victims the way
Turks are synonymous with the Armenians, Germans are with the Namibians
and later the Jews, and Serbs are with the Bosniaks. Israel’s cultural,
artistic, journalistic and intellectual life will be exterminated.
Israel will be a stagnant nation where the religious fanatics, bigots
and Jewish extremists who have seized power will dominate public
discourse. It will find its allies among other despotic regimes.
Israel’s repugnant racial and religious supremacy will be its defining
attribute, which is why the most retrograde white supremists in the U.S.
and Europe, including philo-semites such as John Hagee, Paul Gosar and Marjorie Taylor Greene, fervently back Israel. The vaunted fight against anti-Semitism is a thinly disguised celebration of White Power.
Despotisms can exist long after their past due date. But they are
terminal. You don’t have to be a Biblical scholar to see that Israel’s lust for
rivers of blood is antithetical to the core values of Judaism. The
cynical weaponization of the Holocaust, including branding Palestinians
as Nazis, has little efficacy when you carry out a live streamed
genocide against 2.3 million people trapped in a concentration camp.
Counterpunch | Entitled Future Strategic Issues/Future Warfare [Circa 2025],
the PowerPoint presentation anticipates: a) scenarios created by U.S.
forces and agencies and b) scenarios to which they might have to
respond. The projection is contingent on the use of hi-technology. According to the report
there are/will be six Technological Ages of Humankind: “Hunter/killer
groups (sic) [million BC-10K BC]; Agriculture [10K BC-1800 AD];
Industrial [1800-1950]; IT [1950-2020]; Bio/Nano [2020-?]; Virtual.”
In the past, “Hunter/gatherer” groups fought over “hunting grounds”
against other “tribal bands” and used “handheld/thrown” weapons. In the
agricultural era, “professional armies” also used “handheld/thrown”
weapons to fight over “farm lands.” In the industrial era, conscripted
armies fought over “natural resources,” using “mechanical and chemical”
weapons. In our time, “IT/Bio/Bots” (robots) are used to prevent
“societal disruption.” The new enemy is “everyone.” “Everyone.”
Similarly, a British Ministry of Defence projection to the year 2050 states: “Warfare could become ever more personalised with individuals and their families being targeted in novel ways.”
“KNOWLEDGE DOMINANCE”
The war on you is the militarization of everyday life with the
express goal of controlling society, including your thoughts and
actions.
A U.S. Army document
on information operations from 2003 specifically cites activists as
potential threats to elite interests. “Nonstate actors, ranging from
drug cartels to social activists, are taking advantage of the
possibilities the information environment offers,” particularly with the
commercialization of the internet. “Info dominance” as the Space
Command calls it can counter these threats: “these actors use the
international news media to attempt to influence global public opinion
and shape decision-maker perceptions.” Founded in 1977, the U.S. Army
Intelligence and Security Command featured an Information Dominance Center, itself founded in 1999 by the private, veteran-owned company, IIT.
“Information Operations in support of civil-military interactions is
becoming increasingly more important as non-kinetic courses-of-action
are required,” wrote two researchers for the military in 1999. They also
said
that information operations, as defined by the Joint Chiefs of Staff JP
3-13 (1998) publication, “are aimed at influencing the information and
information systems of an adversary.” They also confirm that “[s]uch
operations require the continuous and close integration of offensive and
defensive activities … and may involve public and civil affairs-related
actions.” They conclude: “This capability begins the transition from
Information Dominance to Knowledge Dominance.”
“ATTUNED TO DISPARITIES”
The lines between law enforcement and militarism are blurred, as are
the lines between military technology and civilian technology. Some
police forces carry military-grade weapons. The same satellites that
enable us to use smartphones enable the armed forces to operate.
In a projection out to the year 2036, the British Ministry of Defence says that “[t]he clear distinction between combatants and non-combatants will be increasingly difficult to discern,” as “the urban poor will be employed in the informal sector and will
be highly vulnerable to externally-derived economic shocks and illicit
exploitation” (emphasize in original). This comes as Boris Johnson
threatens to criminalize Extinction Rebellion and Donald Trump labels
Black Lives Matter domestic terrorists.
In 2017, the U.S. Army published The Operational Environment and the Changing Character of Future Warfare. The report reads:
“The convergence of more information and more people with fewer state
resources will constrain governments’ efforts to address rampant
poverty, violence, and pollution, and create a breeding ground for
dissatisfaction among increasingly aware, yet still disempowered
populations.”
thebulwark | Scott Adams, the cartoonist behind the comic strip Dilbert, has been canceled for racism. In a video livestream last Wednesday, he declared:
“I resign from the hate group called black Americans.” (Adams is white.)
“The best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from black people. Just get the fuck away.”
“It makes no sense whatsoever as a white citizen of America to try
to help black citizens anymore. . . . It’s over. Don’t even think it’s
worth trying.”
“I’ve designated that to be a hate group—black Americans—a hate group.”
“If you’re white, don’t live in a black neighborhood. It’s too dangerous.”
“White people trying to help black America for decades and decades
has completely failed. And we should just stop doing it. [Because] all
we got is called racists.”
Most Americans would consider these statements vile. But Adams swears
he’s preaching practicality, not hate. “It wasn’t because I hated
anybody,” he pleaded in his daily livestream on Monday. “I was concerned that somebody hated me.” That somebody, he argued, was black people. “The whole point was to get away from racists,” he insisted.
A week after his original rant, Adams still claims that nobody has
disagreed with his main point: that to steer clear of people who dislike
you, it’s sensible for white people to avoid black people, and vice
versa.
Adams is wrong. Not just morally, but practically. His advice is empirically unfounded and would make everything worse.
Every time one of these
racially incendiary arguments comes along, the cycle repeats itself.
The offender gets canceled. His opinion is dismissed as unthinkably
repellent. He and his allies seize on that dismissal as evidence that
the establishment is suppressing dissent. Nothing should be unthinkable,
the dissenters argue. There’s some secret truth, some taboo insight, that the cancel culture is hiding from you.
Sorry, but there’s no great insight here. You can watch hour after
hour of Adams’s livestreams, as I have, and you won’t find that nugget
of forbidden truth. His reasoning is as sloppy as his research. In every
way, he’s just wrong.
I’ve
watched this debate for more than a decade. It’s the same wreck, over
and over. A person with a taste for puncturing taboos learns about
racial gaps in IQ scores and the idea that they might be genetic. He
writes or speaks about it, credulously or unreflectively. Every part of
his argument is attacked: the validity of IQ, the claim that it’s
substantially heritable, and the idea that races can be biologically
distinguished. The offender is denounced as racist when he thinks he’s
just defending science against political correctness.
I know what it’s like to be this person because, 11 years ago, I was that person. I saw a comment from Nobel laureate James Watson about the black-white IQ gap, read some journal articles about it, and bought in.
That was a mistake. Having made that mistake, I’m in no position to
throw stones at Sullivan, Harris, or anyone else. But I am in a position
to speak to these people as someone who understands where they’re
coming from. I believe I can change their thinking, because I’ve changed
mine, and I’m here to make that case to them. And I hope those of you
who find this whole subject vile will bear with me as I do.
Here’s
my advice: You can talk about the genetics of race. You can talk about
the genetics of intelligence. But stop implying they’re the same thing.
Connecting intelligence to race adds nothing useful. It overextends the science you’re defending, and it engulfs the whole debate in moral flames.
I’m
not asking anyone to deny science. What I’m asking for is clarity. The
genetics of race and the genetics of intelligence are two different
fields of research. In his piece in the Times, Reich wrote about
prostate cancer risk, a context in which there’s clear evidence of a
genetic pattern related to ancestry. (Black men with African ancestry in
a specific DNA region
have a higher prostate cancer risk than do black men with European
ancestry in that region.) Reich steered around intelligence where,
despite racial and ethnic gaps in test scores, no such pattern has been
established.
It’s also fine to discuss the genetics of IQ—there’s a serious line of scientific inquiry
around that subject—and whether intelligence, in any population, is an
inherited social advantage. We tend to worry that talk of heritability
will lead to eugenics. But it’s also worth noting that, to the extent
that IQ, like wealth, is inherited and concentrated through assortativemating, it can stratify society and undermine cohesion. That’s what much of The Bell Curve was about.
The
trouble starts when people who write or talk about the heritability of
intelligence extend this idea to comparisons between racial and ethnic
groups. Some people do this maliciously; others don’t. You can call the
latter group naïve, credulous, or obtuse to prejudice. But they might be
open to persuasion, and that’s my aim here. For them, the chain of
thought might go something like this: Intelligence is partly genetic,
and race is partly genetic. So maybe racial differences on intelligence
tests can be explained, in part, by genetics.
Late last year, I was compelled to keep my foot planted deep in William Saletan's ignorant, overreaching backside. Saletan was down to the same insidious and habitual stupid human tricks that certain of our visitors seem to be perennially stuck on. Shame. As it turns out, Saletan has finally come around to the errors and omissions plaguing his thinking. While it's at least five months and some years too late to warrant respect (I mean really, only a true simpleton could go down this path in the first place) - at the very least - his epiphany is worth noting;
policy prescriptions based on race are social malpractice. Not because you can't find patterns on tests, but because any biological theory that starts with observed racial patterns has to end with genetic differences that cross racial lines. Race is the stone age of genetics. If you're a researcher looking for effects of heredity on medical or educational outcomes, race is the closest thing you presently have to genetic information about most people. And as a proxy measure, it sucks.
By itself, this problem isn't decisive. After all, racial analysis did lead to the genetic findings about beta blockers. But as the conversation shifts from medicine to social science, and particularly to patterns laden with stereotypes, the moral cost of framing such patterns in racial terms becomes unsupportable. We can't just be "race realists," as believers in biological distinctions among races like to call themselves. We have to be realists about racism. No fact in human history is more pervasive than our tendency to prejudge, fear, despise, persecute, and fight each other based on even the shallowest observable differences. It's simply reckless to feed that fire.
Of course Saletan equivocates waaaaay too much, understandable given that it's humiliating to be found out as intellectually underendowed. That said, at least he's taken the first step toward scientific and intellectual sobriety. He's no longer in complete denial of what's trivially obvious to those of us with the eyes to see. Let's hope everyone is capable of bootstrapping themselve up and out of the psychological stone age.
As allegedly independent agents within the consensus reality, one of the things each of us has to do in our lives is to discover, as far as possible, the grounds for believing what we are asked to believe. Theories of human nature are inherently controversial because they are socially constructed. This includes allegedly scientific theories of human nature. Whenever you see something presented under the rubric of human nature: science, technology, and life - question it ruthlessly.
No amount of special pleading on behalf of the alleged moral and ethical neutrality of genomic science should be allowed to obscure the fact that the conceptual and material deliverables of scientific research are not value-free. Yet, we have recently been beset by precisely such special pleadings within two dominant organs of the mainstream media which have each sought to make the case that the long-standing theories of genetic determinism of IQ is in fact a useful, helpful, and value-free research domain. Nothingcould befurther fromthe truth. Racists in America, the UK, and Germany have believed in and pursued these value-laden and heavily politically charged notions for well over a century, long prior to the advent of the scientific realization that there was even such a thing as a "genome".The story of eugenic pseudo-science is one of manifold superstitions and cruelties and measures and meanings invented, fostered, and propagated for no other reason than to provide an excuse for the exercise of social and political power that would otherwise be completely morally and ethically inexcusable. Those who govern employ a variety of methods to control the contents of the consensus. Much of that content is engineered to provoke fear and to foster ignorance between groups because a divided and fearful populace is a more readily controlled and manipulated populace. Often as not, what induces human groups to fear and destroy one another is the prevalence of false ideas about human nature.Last friday, I wrote that the NY Times and Slate.com have each published a series of articles drawing from the blogs of ill-informed people who do not warrant respectful attention in the case of the Times, and in the case of Slate - a conservative commentator draws from both racist blogs and a hardcore racist pseudo-scientist backed by strategic capital going back to the Nazi era. Slate and the New York Times are supposed to know better. Because I know that they know better - this leads me to one inescapable conclusion. Decision makers at these two media giants have decided for whatever reason to editorially back the reintroduction of racist pseudo-science into the public and political discourse.I was not aware at the time I wrote this opinion that Slate is a property of the Washington Post. Now knowing this fact, I find the assertion that elements of the Establishment are injecting eugenic themes back into the public discourse even more compelling. If I can find an instance where the Wall Street Journal is also involved with the eugenic revival, I'll consider it a media Establishment trifecta. What brings me back to this topic is William Saletan's pathetic mea culpa published in yesterday's Slate.
Many of you have criticized parts of the genetic argument as I related them. Others have pointed to alternative theories I truncated or left out. But the thing that has upset me most concerns a co-author of one of the articles I cited. In researching this subject, I focused on published data and relied on peer review and rebuttals to expose any relevant issue. As a result, I missed something I could have picked up from a simple glance at Wikipedia.
For the past five years, J. Philippe Rushton has been president of the Pioneer Fund, an organization dedicated to "the scientific study of heredity and human differences." During this time, the fund has awarded at least $70,000 to the New Century Foundation. To get a flavor of what New Century stands for, check out its publications on crime ("Everyone knows that blacks are dangerous") and heresyAmerican Renaissance, which preaches segregation. Rushton routinely speaks at its conferences. ("Unless whites shake off the teachings of racial orthodoxy they will cease to be a distinct people"). New Century publishes a magazine called
I was negligent in failing to research and report this. I'm sorry. I owe you better than that.
Oh Hells to the Gnaw - Saletan categorically must not be given a pass for his "dog ate my homework excuse" of sloppy fact checking! This was not merely an instance of sloppy fact checking, rather, it was a demonstration of the willful deceit which would have people to believe that research into the genetic determination of IQ is value-free, morally and ethically neutral, scientific research for the common good. What an audacious and ahistorical crock of conservative nonsense. Such nonsense trading on the collective amnesia and historical ignorance of the public demonstrates the free and easy interlocks between conservative and racist politics and serves as a tour de force illustration of the extent to which the latter ideology perniciously infects and pervades the political and scientific expressions of the former. Only a month earlier, writing in defense of James Watson, Saletan drew the following conclusion;
Well, if he wants to paper over his bruised ego, that's his business. But racism, genetics, culture, black America, and the future of Africa are too important to be papered over.
It's clear from Watson's revisionism, reticence, and retirement that he wants to make his hypothesis go away. But wanting it isn't enough. That's not science. It's politics.
Saletan is a liar, plain and simple. That he was exposed very quickly and decisively is to the good. The fragemented state of the American political world is one tiny click less fragmented for these disclosures. That the attempt to misuse tidbits of genomic "evidence" in support of socially and politically defined objectives is evidence of a larger scheme of fragmentation that is very widespread and backed by some very serious strategic capital. The process of fragmentation maintained by elements in the U.S. establishment makes it very difficult if not impossible for most folks to put the world and its contents in a proper perspective. Fragmenting theories of human nature comprise a continuing exercise on the part of certain evil elements in society to excuse the inexcusable aspects of their past and continuing conduct.
ncregister | Canadian food bank clients and disabled retirees facing financial
insecurity are now considering doctor-assisted suicide to avoid living
in poverty, several sources have reported.
“Based
on the definitions in the Canadian law, nearly anyone with a chronic
medical condition, such as people with disabilities, can be approved for
euthanasia,” Alex Schadenberg, executive director of the Euthanasia
Prevention Coalition, told CNA Dec. 12.
“Therefore
people with disabilities are requesting euthanasia based on poverty,
homelessness, or an inability to receive needed medical treatment, but
they are approved for euthanasia based on their disability,” he added.
Meghan
Nicholls, CEO of the Mississauga Food Bank in Mississauga, an Ontario
city west of Toronto, said demand has increased by 60% since the start
of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her food bank network now serves 30,000 people
per year, she reported in a Nov. 30 commentary for the Canadian news
magazine Maclean’s.
For the first time,
according to Nicholls, beneficiaries are reporting that the cost of
food has put them into financial insolvency.
“We’re
at the point where clients on these programs are telling us they’re
considering medically assisted death or suicide because they can’t live
in grinding poverty anymore,” she said in the Maclean’s report. “A
client in our Food Bank 2 Home delivery program told one of our staff
that they’re considering suicide because they’re so tired of suffering
through poverty. Another client asked if we knew how to apply for MAID
(medical assistance in dying) for the same reasons.”
“We
can’t underestimate the effect that poverty has on someone’s mental
health. Our clients live with constant worry and cut corners on needed
items like medication, fresh food, or warm clothes — constantly living
under that stress takes its toll mentally, emotionally, and physically,”
Nicholls said.
“When
people start telling us they’re going to end their life because they
can’t live in poverty anymore, it’s clear that we’ve failed them,” she
added.
Nicholls told
Canada’s The Catholic Register that leaders of other food banks in
Canada have not heard clients speak of plans to take their own lives.
“I
don’t know if that’s a bit of an anomaly or if it’s just because we
operate this home delivery program. We do have a chance to connect with
clients directly, and that kind of relationship might open us up for
people to share a little bit more vulnerably than perhaps some other
food banks.”
Schadenberg said assisted suicide has become very easy to access in Canada.
“We
need to understand that many people with disabilities live in poverty
and find themselves having difficulty receiving necessary medical
treatment and yet according to the law they have no difficulty being
approved for death by euthanasia,” he told CNA. “Clearly this has led to
an epidemic of death, of despair, in Canada. Deaths based on cultural
abandonment but sold to the population under the false guise of
freedom.”
In 2021, over
10,000 Canadians died by euthanasia, also called medical aid in dying or
doctor-assisted suicide. This is 10 times the number who died by
euthanasia in 2016, when the procedure was first legalized.
welcometohellworld | Autumn Harris' lungs were so filled with fluid they weighed four
times what a normal person's lungs should weigh during her autopsy. The
thirty four year old died in an Alabama prison in 2018 after going
untreated for pneumonia by medical staff for weeks according to a
malpractice lawsuit filed by her father in 2020 that will finally get a
hearing next year. Six years of waiting for the possibility that maybe
someone will be held responsible for his daughter's death.
Harris had been arrested because she missed a misdemeanor court hearing over an alleged theft of $40 Alabama.com reported.
State
investigators interviewed women Harris was being held with and one said
she got so sick toward the end that she started to hallucinate and was
calling one of them momma.
If you are poor please do not make a
mistake of any kind. Please do not fuck up in such and such a way
leading you to need $40 very badly or to miss a court date. Do not fuck
up even once despite the entire world being littered with boobytraps
just waiting for you to make a false step. The floor is lava but not in
the way that usually means. If you are poor almost every fuck up you
might make carries with it a potential death sentence in this country.
It
sounds facile and obvious to say that kind of shit doesn't it? It's
almost like what's the point? You know it and I know it and people
walking through the obstacle course on hard mode know it better than
anyone.
I guess we have to keep saying it anyway.
We're all
of us walking through the obstacle course to be clear it's just at
varying degrees of difficulty. Unless some of you reading this happen to
be rich in which case can I have $50,000?
Marquette | The wholesale destruction of Jews and other ethnic minorities
in Europe by Nazi Germany before and during World War II has been
widely and justly condemned as a crime against humanity. Literally
thousand of books and articles have been written on this particular
genocide, highlighted by extensive testimony presented to the
Nuremberg criminal trials after the war.
We have been conditioned since World War II to believe that
such a horrible human tragedy cannot, or at least should not, happen
again. Particularly in the Western World, schooled in the Judeo-
Christian ethic, we believe that another Holocaust could not happen and
particularly not in the United States. It cannot happen here, we saybecause we live under democratic forms of government and our U.S.
Constitution guarantees us protection of our lives as a God-given right.
Until this current century, we were no doubt justified in relying
on these guarantees to our human existence. But will these guarantees
survive the very dangerous new trends in the Western world's regard for
the protection of life? Is a new and different kind of Holocaust in the
offing, not against Jews or other minorities, but a Holocaust against the
elderly, the chronically ill, the terminally ill and the disabled, right here
in our own country? This proposition might appear preposterous at
first glance, but the issue is important enough to merit a closer look.
It is a surprising historical fact that in the United States, we are
wittingly or unwittingly following the same steps that led Germany to
the disastrous conclusion that some lives are "life not worthy of life"
and can be legally extinguished to suit the needs of society and the
desires of the family and the state. Germany progressed from the
adoption of genetics theories in the last century to sterilization to
abortion to euthanasia to the indiscriminate murder of ethnically and
politically undesirable races and aliens. Except for timing, the United
States is proceeding along the identical path, with only the legalization
of euthanasia. or assisted suicide, remaining before the flood gates
open. Indeed, we are now facing this last and fatal step on the "slippery
slope".
In January 1997, the U.S. Supreme Court began to hear, on
appeal, oral arguments for Vasco v. Quill and Washington v.
Glucksberg, the New York and Washington cases which struck down
anti-assisted suicide laws in each state earlier in 1996.
If the U.S. Supreme Court follows the unfortunate precedent
which it established in its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision in which it
created with very questionable constitutional basis a new "right" to
abortion, then they may now create another new "right" to assisted
suicide. If this happens, we will have taken the final step toward
undermining the very foundation of our American democracy in which
the government has the constitutional responsibility both to protect the
lives of its citizens and not destroy those lives.
Ideas do have consequences and the legalization of assisted
suicide would have momentous implications for the future of American
society, families, medicine and the ultimate evaluation of the worth of
a human life, as well as the very foundations of our American form ogovernment. Ultimately, the lives of our citizens may well be
subordinated to the desires and interests of the government, which will
decide directly or indirectly who will live and who will die. In fact,
some U.S. authorities already are beginning to talk about the future
demands on the resources of Medicare and Medicaid to maintain
patients who might be kept alive for many years by modem medical
technology, at great public expense, unless they can be dispensed with
through assisted suicide.
It is well known that in the Netherlands today, where assisted
suicide is widely practiced, serious abuses are being perpetrated against
people who have not given their consent. In almost one-half of the
assisted suicide cases in the Netherlands, the decision is being made by
third parties without consulting the patient or the family. If the state or
its agents can kill targeted people at will, then democracy as we know
it will have perished. The next Holocaust, if and when it comes, will
thus not be of the same character as the Nazis'. But the end result will
be the same, namely, the wholesale killing of undesirables whether they
be unborn, partially born, old, ill, or just tired of living.
Let us review the historical steps that both Germany and the
United States have passed through since Darwin's theory of evolution
originated in the middle 1850s and jolted the scientific world, including
scholars, philosophers and even some misguided theologians. We will
see how the seeds of the Holocaust in Nazi Germany preceded the
Hitler era by several generations
CTH | It is hard to think the unthinkable – but there comes a time when
there’s nothing else for it. People raised to trust the powers that be –
who have assumed, like I once did, that the State, regardless of its
political flavour at any given moment, is essentially benevolent and
well-meaning – will naturally try and keep that assumption of
benevolence in mind when trying to make sense of what is going on around
them.
People like us, you and me, raised in the understanding that we are
free, that we have inalienable rights, and that the institutions of this
country have our best interests at heart, will tend to tie ourselves in
knots rather than contemplate the idea those authorities might actually
be working against us now. I took that thought of benevolent,
well-meaning authority for granted for most of my life, God help me. Not
to put too fine a point on it, I was as gullible as the next chump.
A couple of years ago, however, I began to think the unthinkable and
with every passing day it becomes more and more obvious to me that we
are no longer being treated as individuals entitled to try and make the
most of our lives – but as a barn full of battery hens, just another
product to be bought and sold – sold down the river.
Let me put it another way: if you have been driving yourself almost
demented in an effort to think the best of those in charge – those in
senior positions in government, those in charge of the great
institutions of State, those running the big corporations – but finding
it increasingly impossible to do so … then the solution to the problem
might be to turn your point of view through 180 degrees and accept,
however unwillingly, that we are … how best to put this … being taken
for a ride.
When you find a stranger’s hand on your wallet, in the inside pocket
of your jacket … rather than trying to persuade yourself he’s only
making sure it doesn’t fall out … it might be more straightforward to
draw the conclusion you’re in the process of being robbed.
Once the scales fall from a person’s eyes, the resultant clarity of
sight is briefly overwhelming. Or it is like being handed a skeleton key
that opens every locked door, or access to a Rosetta Stone that
translates every word into a language instantly understood.
Take the energy crisis: If you’ve felt the blood drain from your face
at the prospect of bills rising from hundreds to several thousands of
pounds while reading about energy companies doubling their profits
overnight while being commanded to subsidise so-called renewables that
are anything but Green while listening to this politician or that renew
their vows to the ruinous fantasies of Net Zero and Agenda 2030 while
knowing that the electricity for electric cars comes, in the main and
most reliably, from fossil fuels if you can’t make sense of it all and
just know that it adds up to a future in which you might have to choose
between eating and heating then treat yourself to the gift of
understanding that the powers that be fully intend that we should have
less heat and less fuel and that in the planned future only the rich
will have cars anyway. The plan is not to fix it.
The plan is to break it, and leave it broken. If you struggle to
think the best of the world’s richest – vacuous, self-obsessed A-list
celebrities among them – endlessly circling the planet on private jets
and super yachts, so as to attend get-togethers where they might
pontificate to us lowly proles about how we must give up our cars and
occasional holiday flights – even meat on the dinner table … if you
wonder how they have the unmitigated gall … then isn’t it easier simply
to accept that their honestly declared and advertised intention is that
their luxurious and pampered lives will continue as before while we are
left hungry, cold and mostly unwashed in our unheated homes.
Here’s the thing: if any leader or celeb honestly meant a word of their sermons about CO2 and
the rest, then they would obviously lead by example. They would be
first of all of us willingly to give up international travel altogether …
they would downsize to modest homes warmed by heat pumps. They would
eschew all energy but that from the sun and the wind. They would eat,
with relish, bugs and plants. They would resort to walking, bicycles and
public transport.
If Net Zero and the rest was about the good of the planet – and not
about clearing the skies and the beaches of scum like us – don’t you
think those sainted politicians and A-listers would be lighting the way
for us by their own example? If the way of life they preach to us was
worth living, wouldn’t they be living it already? Perhaps you heard Bill
Gates say private jets are his guilty pleasure.
And how about food – and more particularly the predicted shortage of
it: the suits and CEOs blame it all on Vladimir Putin. But if the
countries of the world are truly running out of food, why is our
government offering farmers hundreds of thousands of pounds to get out
of the industry and sell their land to transnational corporations for
use, or disuse unknown? Why aren’t we, as a society, doing what our
parents and grandparents did during WWII and digging for victory? Why is
the government intent on turning a third of our fertile soil over to
re-wilding schemes that make life better only for the beavers? Why
aren’t we looking across the North Sea towards the Netherlands where a
WEF-infected administration is bullying farmers off their land
altogether, forcing them to cull half the national herd.
Those Dutch farmers are among the most productive and knowledgeable
in the world, holding in their heads and hands the answers to all manner
of questions about how best to produce food, and yet their government
is so intent on scaring them out of the business that a teenage boy in a
tractor, taking part in a protest to defend ancient rights and
traditions, was fired on by police.
Why do you think it matters so much, to the government of the second
most productive population of farmers in the world, to gut and fillet
that industry? Why? Why have similar protests, in countries all across
Europe and the wider world, been largely ignored by the mainstream media
– a media that would have crawled on its hands and knees over broken
glass just to report on a BLM protester opening a bag of non-binary
crisps. Why the silence on the attack on farming?

"We will never be fully vaccinated against Covid-19."
Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos says Canadians need to be "up-to-date" on their vaccines, which he describes as getting the Covid vaccine every nine months. #cdnpolipic.twitter.com/pjuPGbORQa
bombthrower | Despite increasingly compelling data and peer reviewed studies
coming out detailing the harms and side-effects of vaccinations,
Canada’s Liberal-Socialist coalition government is doubling down on
vaccinations, and appear ready to move the goalposts on what constitutes
vaccine compliance.
Canadians will be required to get a Covid shot every nine months for the foreseeable future, says Health Minister . Previous definitions of “fully vaccinated” made no sense, he told reporters.
“Nine months is very clear and will help people understand why
‘up to date’ is the right way to think about vaccination now,” said
Duclos. “‘Fully vaccinated’ makes no sense now. It’s about ‘up to
date.’ So am I up to date in my vaccination? Have I received a
vaccination in the last nine months?”
Duclos previously called for the provinces to make vaccinations mandatory and when asked by reporters if mandates would return this fall, he replied “We must continue to fight against Covid.”
Canada seems to be one of the few countries outside Communist China
who is frantically clinging to the COVID narrative, relentlessly pushing
largely ineffective (and arguably dangerous) vaccines on an
increasingly fed up population.
The Trudeau regime is increasingly unpopular, a recent Angus Reid poll
finding those who “strongly support” the government falling into single
digits. The largest single category was “strongly disapprove” at 41%, Reeling with numerous scandals, corruption and gaffes, Justin Trudeau
holds power solely through the merger of his party with the Canada’s
Socialist NDP, headed by millionaire Jagmeet Singh.
The deal ostensibly keeps him in office until 2025. Singh is also on the
ropes, frequently being jeered in public even among his base
constituency in Brampton, Ontario. His brother lost his seat in the
recent Ontario election, and Singh himself was run out of a campaign stop by enraged Sikhs who called him “a sell out”.
amidwesterndoctor |Most of the injuries I saw reported here overlapped with the ones I encountered and documented within my own adverse event log.
Additionally, there were dozens of respondents (primarily healthcare
workers) who had observed a large number of individuals with vaccine
injuries; meaning that my experience is not at all unique. The most
commonly reported injuries were as follows:
•Strokes and blood clots. •Fatal heart attacks and less frequently myocarditis or heart failure. •Cancers that often emerge spontaneously, shock the doctor, and were highly aggressive (frequently killing the individual). •Sudden severe cases of COVID-19. •Cases of sudden death (i.e. a wife heard a thump upstairs, ran up, and found her husband dead on the floor). •Rapid
progression towards dementia in an elder relative (typically resulting
in a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, although in one case Lewy body
dementia occurred). •Other neurological conditions
One
thing I have noticed in reviewing reports of adverse reactions to
vaccines is that a large number of them go underreported (even within
these reporting surveys) because they represent common diseases people
develop rather than something very noteworthy. For example, I believe
new autoimmune diseases or exacerbation of pre-existing autoimmune
diseases are the most common adverse event that occurs following
vaccination, as that seems to be the case for around 20-40% of the
patients in many rheumatology practices (see this testimony for example) and this report of a survey conducted by the Israel ministry of health.
However,
despite this being the case, I only saw a few reports of autoimmune
conditions resulting from the mRNA vaccines within these survey
responses. This is relevant because adverse reactions always distribute
on a bell curve and the more extreme ones, therefore, are much rare than
the less severe. ones. This means the adverse reactions that are
noteworthy enough for someone to notice and share likely only represent
the tip of the iceberg for adverse events occurring. A recent article showing there has been a 10% spike in disability within the US population so
far is the best dataset I have come across to suggest something very
concerning on a more chronic level throughout the population is
happening.
Many of these cases were very sad, and it is
difficult to even begin to imagine what the survey respondents had gone
through during this process. Cancer is a particularly terrible disease
given the death process associated with it, and despite coming across
numerous cases of this happening, I was a bit surprised at how
frequently respondents reported these cases. I likewise can understand
why continually seeing these types of reports has motivated Steve Kirsch
to spend every waking moment he has to bring attention to this issue.
Other conditions were less commonly reported. I took particular note of the following:
•Seven
cases of liver failure (or something similar), along with additional
cases of cancers rapidly metastasizing to the liver and causing liver
failure. •Six Reports of Lou Gehrig's disease (also known as ALS) •Three Reports of Fatal Prion Diseases (two of which were specified to be CJD, the third most likely was as well). •A
few reports of birth defects in vital organs with ACE-2 receptors such
as the heart (it is harder to draw a correlation here since those
defects sometimes happen otherwise, but given that I know one case where
this almost certainly happened, I suspect these may have been linked as
well).
I learned a few major lessons from these reports.
The
first is that one respondent made it very clear he and another
individual had had a mild Covid infection they were dealing with, but
once they became vaccinated, the infection went out of control and
rapidly landed them in the hospital. I have been trying to come up with
an explanation for a while over why it is so common to see individuals
be vaccinated and then rapidly be hospitalized or died from severe
Covid. I now suspect that being vaccinated while you are infected alters
the immune response and makes COVID much more likely to progress
towards being a fatal condition. This is unfortunate because those
deaths are often used to justify the urgency of vaccinating.
ssrn | Introduction: In 2020, prior to COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the Coalition
for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and Brighton Collaboration created
a priority list, endorsed by the World Health Organization, of
potential adverse events relevant to COVID-19 vaccines. We leveraged the
Brighton Collaboration list to evaluate serious adverse events of
special interest observed in phase III randomized trials of mRNA
COVID-19 vaccines.
Methods: Secondary analysis of serious adverse
events reported in the placebo-controlled, phase III randomized
clinical trials of Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines
(NCT04368728 and NCT04470427), focusing analysis on potential adverse
events of special interest identified by the Brighton Collaboration.
Results:
Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were associated with an
increased risk of serious adverse events of special interest, with an
absolute risk increase of 10.1 and 15.1 per 10,000 vaccinated over
placebo baselines of 17.6 and 42.2 (95% CI -0.4 to 20.6 and -3.6 to
33.8), respectively. Combined, the mRNA vaccines were associated with an
absolute risk increase of serious adverse events of special interest of
12.5 per 10,000 (95% CI 2.1 to 22.9). The excess risk of serious
adverse events of special interest surpassed the risk reduction for
COVID-19 hospitalization relative to the placebo group in both Pfizer
and Moderna trials (2.3 and 6.4 per 10,000 participants, respectively).
Discussion:
The excess risk of serious adverse events found in our study points to
the need for formal harm-benefit analyses, particularly those that are
stratified according to risk of serious COVID-19 outcomes such as
hospitalization or death.
One of the very first things I noticed with Covid was that it had all
the clinical signs of destroying zeta potential within the body, which
is something you almost never see (and many other clinicians have
observed the same things I have although very few of them are aware of
this and a potential concept and hands do not have an explanation for
what they are observing). Since that time, I have also noticed the
vaccines will often do the same thing. Some of the signs are very hard
to pick up on (and may make me sound a little weird once you go into
fluids besides the blood), but one of the key ones is that the blood
starts to clump together and becomes significantly more viscous. For
example, all of you have seen the microscope slides of vaccinated blood
being clamped together, and I have started hearing stories of vaccinated
patients where is not possible to do blood draws on them even through
their external jugular vein (because the black keeps clotting), which is
something most of us had never run into. Who is one of these people,
it took about six weeks of them being on proteolytic enzymes before it
was actually possible to do a large vein blood draw, which is extremely
concerning put it mildly.
That
is unheard of! Are you talking about living patients actually??? Do the
unjabed patients with Covid have identical symptoms of that severe
clamping or it is 'just' the jabbed? Thank you very much for sharing all
this... Actually I wrote many posts with the genetic analysis of the
Spike code, which has pieces of everything, including every single
clotting factor out there, as if the Spike sequence was made for
hemophiliacs, to keep their blood running properly...
Oh
that's crazy, I had no idea that spike protein had clotting factors in
it. Could you like me to that post? That is really interesting.
Regarding
your question, I have seen patients with Covid who had a very thick
blood, and blood that was very dark and look different (which I know
from having done a lot of blood draws correlates with low zeta
potential), and I have friends who have had Covid whose body filled with
major clots (to the point they needed blood transfusions once the clots
were removed).... but the blood clotting being described here has only
occurred in alive and vaccinated patients
That
is really interesting. As you probably know, one of the major issues
with Covid blood clots and vaccine damage is that they don't really
respond to anticoagulants. Each of the anticoagulants on the market (the
main ones are heparin and Xarelto and Plavix) don't really work… Plavix
is the only one that seems to stop the blood clots. This will probably
make more sense if you look at it yourself, but it's very likely one of
the things that's happening is that the spike protein is messing with
the coagulation cascade in a way that are not designed to address. I do
not have a good enough background in hematology to say anything
definitive on this, but I suspect that there's some extent, the spike
protein coagulation factors are able to activate sequential parts of the
coagulation cascade. Would you be open to taking a deep dive on this
and seeing if the structure of any of the coagulation factor like
domains could cause a subsequent part of the coagulation cascade to
activate? This might require some In Silico modeling or docking
analysis. If that's beyond your ability to do, I might know someone who
could figure this out. Overall, I do not think this is that complicated
and disco potentially be a really big deal for what all the clinicians
are working with in the field.
do
you know that FActor IX is also called Christmas Factor? Named after
the first AIDS patient who needed lot of blood transfusions and
subsequently died? Guess when the biggest HIV specialist has his
birthday: 24 Dec, on Christmas. I'm talking Dr. Fauci.
I
also wonder if one of the reasons why you periodically see clotting
disorders and severe hemorrhages after exposure to the spike protein is
because they are having antibodies to the clotting factor form within
the body (I am the most familiar with this occurring in hemophiliacs
from foreign factor VIII).
if
you know the part sequence of those anti-bodies just check it with the
known Spike sequence. Once you chop it down, you end up with all these
pieces! There is a good paper about the epitopes within the spike, every
single segment of it is an epitope, wrote abut it in the last few posts
all the time...
if
you are performing the 'official medicine' then yes, normal drugs won't
help, you need new drugs, more drugs.. Was just listening to Dr.
Klinghard on acu2020 hearing:
He is using 3ple combo, of which heparin is just one component, which
won't work on its own. He adds hydroxychloroquine and zinc, with
antibiotic. I think they will translate his 1 hour interview so you can
listen to it yourself and get the formula.
I used to
do macromolecular modeling years back, but no more for the last quite
few years, do not have the software for that. Just do the open source
support in the bioinformatics area, but can check out if online support
is available. Also I must say, people need HELP NOW, FAST. The NATURAL
remedies for anticoaglation are out there, just have the guts to use it,
against your board of .... Last but not least, the ANTI-venom remedy is
equally worth to try out. Even I, as NON-MD, know what to use to help
myself...
