attorneycox | The
“they” is our government (federal and state). The “we” is you and me,
and the other 300+ million Americans across our country.
Alas,
here we are, entering the final quarter of 2023, and we have the United
States government, and many state governments (including New York’s
former Governor Andrew Cuomo, current left-wing Governor Kathy Hochul, and the super-majority Dem legislature) proclaiming for all to hear that they did not force anyone to do anything detrimental these past 3.5 years. UNBELIEVABLE!
Did you hear this? They are actually saying with straight faces that
they didn’t force you to wear a mask, or lockdown and shutter your
businesses, or choose between taking an experimental drug or losing your
job… Nope! They did none of that. And you - well, you are flat out crazy if you think they did. You are lying. You are exaggerating and totally overreacting.
Unfortunately
for Big Brother, ooops, I mean unfortunately for our 100% reliable,
never-lies-to-us government, we have actual documents (including lawsuits),
news stories, social media posts, and videos of the government at all
levels mandating and forcing us to do all of those things, and more.
Here’s just one example of Biden himself, the “Big Guy,” mandating the
C19 shot:
Biden is not alone. No, no. His entire administration is
right there with him. His head of OSHA, Douglas Parker, is also now
lying through his teeth about the OSHA mandate that REQUIRED
(not suggested) that all employers in the entire nation with 100 or
more employees force their employees to get the C19 shot, otherwise they
had to wear a mask and test constantly for C19. (That OSHA mandate was
struck down by SCOTUS
last year because it was unconstitutional, by the way). Then there’s
the head of HHS, Xavier Becerra, saying there was never a mask mandate.
What?! Another blatant lie.
Please take the 2 minutes to watch this Congressman Kevin Kiley clip.
You truly won’t believe your ears with the bullsh#* these Biden agency
heads are spewing! As Congressman Kiley says in the video, the
government is trying to tell us that “2 + 2 doesn’t equal 4.” You don’t
get much more Orwellian than that!
Why are they backtracking now?
Easy
answers: 1) they didn’t have the authority to do any of it (all of it
was unconstitutional) so they can’t justify and defend it now, and 2) if
they can convince you they didn’t do it before, then you won’t mind as
much when they do it again.
This should make your blood
boil. It’s particularly infuriating to those of us who were speaking
out from basically day one trying to tell people that the lockdowns, the
masking, the shots, the limited number of people at your wedding or at
your Thanksgiving table were all violations of the Constitution and our
basic human rights!
dailymail | US officials are quietly shutting down a
taxpayer-funded $125million project to hunt for new viruses due to fears
it could spark another pandemic.
DEEP
VZN - pronounced deep vision - was launched in October 2021 with the
aim of finding and studying novel pathogens in wildlife in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
While
the research was meant to prevent human outbreaks and pandemics,
critics, including Biden administration officials, are afraid it could
do the opposite and have voiced their fears about the potentially
'catastrophic risks' of virus hunting.
The project was meant to run until 2026, but DEEP VZN was shut down without a formal public announcement in July 2023.
USAID's DEEP VZN (pronounced deep vision) project was hunting viruses among wildlife in Asia , Africa and Latin America.
While this is the most recent to come to light, it is far from the first research the US has conducted on this matter.
For more than a decade the government has funded international projects aimed
at identifying exotic viruses among wildlife that could infect humans
someday, sending millions to support various similar projects.
Money
has flown overseas from the Department of Defense and the National
Institutes of Health to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
DEEP
VZN, which stands for Discovery & Exploration of Emerging Pathogens
- Viral Zoonoses, was launched by the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID) in October 2021 and less than two
years later, USAID officials informed members of Senate committees with jurisdiction over DEEP VZN the program was being shut down.
The
premature closure of the project came abruptly and was privately
relayed to Senate aides by the office of Atul Gawande, USAID's assistant
administrator for global health.
The news was buried in a congressional budget
document hundreds of pages long and was discussed during interviews Mr
William conducted with federal lawmakers and researchers.
A
scientist at the center of the Covid lab leak theory has admitted he
cannot rule out the possibility the virus escaped a Chinese research
facility.
At
its launch, USAID said the 'ambitious new project' was meant to work
with partner countries and the global community to 'build better
preparedness for future global health threats.'
The
organization said the project would 'strengthen global capacity to
detect and understand the risks of viral spillover from wildlife to
humans that could cause another pandemic.
'The
COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how infectious diseases threaten all
of society, up-ending people's lives and attacking societies at their
cores.
'It is also a strong reminder
of the connection between animals, humans, and the environment, and the
effect that an emerging pathogen spilling over into humans can have on
people's health and on global economies.'
The project was being carried out by scientists from the Washington State University Paul Allen School for Global Health among other research and partner entities.
The
goal was to collect more than 800,000 samples over the five-year
period, mostly from wildlife, to identify a subset of 'previously
unknown' viruses that 'pose a significant pandemic threat.'
The
university sought to detect 12,000 new viruses throughout the program's
run and scientists hoped the information would not only help prevent
future pandemics, but also better prepare health officials if one did
emerge.
'DEEP VZN is a critical next
step in the evolution of USAID's work to understand and address the
risks posed by zoonotic diseases that can be transmitted from animals to
humans.'
However, in a statement
regarding the closure of the program, USAID said it had determined the
research was 'not an agency global health security priority at this
time' and its decision reflected 'the relative risks and impact of our
programming.'
On Thursday, the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) released new files procured by Russian forces in eastern Ukraine, which include communications between American financier Hunter Biden – the son of US President Joe Biden – and figures engaged in biological research in Ukraine that his investment company aided in financing.
The emails disclosed the identities of numerous key American leaders
from Metabiota and Black & Veatch, and also officials from the US
Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), who were involved in biological
research initiatives. Those named include:
washingtonexaminer | On Monday, we got a bombshell. New documents indicate the entire justification for vaccine mandates was based on a falsehood — and that public health officials knew it.
Emails obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request show
that CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and former NIH Director Francis
Collins were aware of, and discussed, “breakthrough cases” of COVID in
January 2021 — right when the vaccines became widely available. In her
email, Walensky says that “clearly,” it is an “important area of study,”
links to a study raising the issue, and assures the person she is
sending it to that Dr. Anthony Fauci is looped into these conversations.
However, in public, Walensky was saying something quite different. Two months after discussing this data, she said vaccinated people “don’t carry the virus” and “don’t get sick.” In a congressional hearing,
after it became clear people were able to get infected with COVID even
after receiving the vaccine, she defended her original statements by
claiming it was true at the time she said it — namely, for the strands
we were dealing with in early 2021.
We now know that was not true and that Walensky herself knew it was not true.
Jay Bhattacharya, a professor at the Stanford School of Medicine, called the revelation “stunning.” He pointed out that despite this knowledge, “they continued to push vax mandates anyway.”
This is the real scandal, as there is little harm in getting
something like this wrong in a vacuum. After all, COVID-19 vaccines
certainly saved many, many lives and reduced the severity of infection
for many more. But the fact vaccine mandates were pushed, even though
those in charge knew people could contract and spread the virus
while vaccinated, is indefensible. That they mislead the public on this
makes it even worse.
If the vaccine stopped COVID dead in its tracks, as Fauci explained,
then the decision to institute a vaccine mandate would merely be a
controversial yet ultimately legitimate public health measure. The fact
it did not do that but rather had primarily personal benefits completely removes the justification for mandates.
The Biden administration tried to impose a vaccine mandate on employers, thousands of people were fired from their jobs, and there was a time when unvaccinated people were not even allowed into restaurants in some of the country’s largest cities.
amgreatness | The head of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC)
Protection forces released a statement this week suggesting that
nefarious officials in the United States developed and deployed COVID-19
for “offensive purposes” and may be plotting a new pandemic.
The United States government officially claims that its scientists
study pathogens in biolabs around the world to develop preventative
measures to potential viruses, but Moscow does not buy that.
Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov said that the United States may have
played a role in inflicting the COVID-19 pathogen on the world and may
be working to create another biological crisis.
“We do not rule out the United States may use so-called defensive
technologies for offensive purposes, as well as for global governance by
creating crisis situations of biological nature,” Kirillov warned.
According to the Russian State media outlet RT,
Moscow believes there was collusion between Big Pharma and USAID
through the EcoHealth Alliance, a U.S.-based non-government organization
run by Peter Daszak, to develop new strains of coronavirus.
“The intermediary organization EcoHealth Alliance has played a key
role in implementing projects to study this pathogen. Since 2015, the
organization’s researchers have been involved in studying a diverse
population of bats, searching for new coronavirus strains and mechanisms
for animal-to-human transmission. Over 2,500 bats have been studied,”
Kirillov stated.
The general brought up the troubling fact that the World Health
Organization, Gates Foundation, and Johns Hopkins University conducted
the Event 201
drills in New York on October 18, 2019, just two months before the
first COVID-19 cases were officially reported in China. The ostensive
purpose of the exercise was to practice the steps that would be taken
during a coronavirus outbreak, but many people believe it was a
“practice run” for the pandemic.
“The fact that the pandemic unfolded exactly according to this
scenario, as well as the implementation of EcoHealth Alliance’s
projects, gives rise to questions as to whether COVID-19 was in fact an
intentionally man-made disease and whether the US may have had a hand in
this incident,” Kirillov said.
Kirillov also expressed deep concern that the Biden regime’s new
Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy is up to no good.
“The United States’ next step, aimed at pushing ahead with its
strategic plans for establishing global control over the biological
situation, was the creation of the Office of Pandemic Preparedness and
Response Policy. This new agency is expected to be responsible for
charting a course and coordinating actions to combat known and unknown
biological challenges, including pathogens that might trigger another
global emergency,” Kirillov said.
tomrenz | This article is pretty science heavy so at this point I also want to
acknowledge two additional points. First, I am not a Peter
McCullough/Harvey Risch type scientist. I am a lawyer with some science
background. That means that I am not the guy that will be creating
science, but to do my job as an attorney litigating in this area I have
to be able to read and understand the science. I do those things quite
well. Second, the information in this article is based simply on reading
and understanding the science. There is nothing here I’ve created - I
just know how to read.
Disclaimers aside, I want to open this
article with a confession. This article was titled using the acronym
mRNA but that was intentionally misleading. For purposes of this article
- mRNA actually stands for modRNA which is different from mRNA. mRNA is
messenger RNA and is found all over in life. modRNA is laboratory
modified RNA that has been synthetically created for a purpose. It can
be more durable, and have substantially greater impact than a true mRNA
and can do many other things.
Why does this matter? Well let’s start with the COVID “vaccines”.
Because mRNA is a weak particle and breaks down easily with a relatively
lower risk of messing with your genetics than other gene therapy
products (like modRNA) that is what is always talked about in the jabs.
The problem is that it is a lie. Here is the FDA label for the Pfizer
jab:
You can find the entire label here: https://labeling.pfizer.com/ShowLabeling.aspx?id=14471.
Note that different vials are different (denoted by the cap color) but
also, under number 3, that one of the ingredients is modRNA. No one is
talking about this but it is crucial.
Life as we know it is specified by the genomes of the myriad organisms with which we share the planet. Every organism possesses a genome that contains the biological information
needed to construct and maintain a living example of that organism.
Most genomes, including the human genome and those of all other cellular
life forms, are made of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) but a few viruses have RNA (ribonucleic acid) genomes. DNA and RNA are polymeric molecules made up of chains of monomeric subunits called nucleotides.
To give you an idea of how complicated the genes that make up our body are this description from the same webpage follows:
The human genome, which is typical of the genomes of all multicellular animals, consists of two distinct parts (Figure 1.1):
*The nuclear genome comprises approximately 3 200 000 000 nucleotides of DNA, divided into 24 linear molecules, the shortest 50 000 000 nucleotides in length and the longest 260 000 000
nucleotides, each contained in a different chromosome. These 24
chromosomes consist of 22 autosomes and the two sex chromosomes, X and Y.
*The mitochondrial genome is a circular DNA molecule of 16 569 nucleotides, multiple copies of which are located in the energy-generating organelles called mitochondria.
*Each of the approximately 1013
cells in the adult human body has its own copy or copies of the genome,
the only exceptions being those few cell types, such as red blood
cells, that lack a nucleus in their fully differentiated state. The vast
majority of cells are diploid
and so have two copies of each autosome, plus two sex chromosomes, XX
for females or XY for males - 46 chromosomes in all. These are called somatic cells, in contrast to sex cells or gametes, which are haploid
and have just 23 chromosomes, comprising one of each autosome and one
sex chromosome. Both types of cell have about 8000 copies of the
mitochondrial genome, 10 or so in each mitochondrion.
So
think about how complex that makes us. The nuclear genome contains 3.2
billion nucleotides & the mitochondrial genome contains 16.5k. Each
of these were designed by God and have evolved over the millennia to
work as a singular machine. Now imagine a watch. The watch tells perfect
time because a bunch of tiny gears all work perfectly together to move
the hands the appropriate amount to point to the proper minutes and
seconds. If one of these gears becomes damaged or the wrong size gear is
put into place the entire watch would go haywire and fail to work. A
watch may have hundreds of parts - our bodies have billions.
With
that in mind let’s talk about modRNA (or worse - saRNA). Rather than
taking my word for what this is let me share this explanation from
Pfizer you can find at https://www.pfizer.com/science/innovation/mrna-technology until they change it (which will likely happen shortly after I publish this):
So Pfizer’s modRNA and saRNA vaccines modify the nucleosides that make up the genes that make up our body.

merylnass | Here is another wonderfully researched and written look into the long
morbid history of how the powerful repeatedly sterilize the powerless.

“Billionaires Try to Shrink World’s Population”: Secret Gathering Sponsored by Bill Gates, 2009 Meeting of “The Good Club”
Is Worldwide Depopulation Part of the Billionaire's "Great Reset"
For more than ten years, meetings have been held by billionaires described as philanthropists to Reduce the Size of the World’s Population culminating with the 2020-2022 Covid crisis.
Recent
developments suggest that “Depopulation” is an integral part of the
so-called Covid mandates including the lockdown policies and the mRNA
“vaccine”.
Flash back to 2009. According to the Wall Street Journal: “Billionaires Try to Shrink World’s Population”.
In
May 2009, the Billionaire philanthropists met behind closed doors at
the home of the president of The Rockefeller University in Manhattan.
This Secret Gathering was sponsored by Bill Gates. They called themselves “The Good Club”.
Among the participants were the late David Rockefeller, Warren Buffett, George Soros, Michael Bloomberg Ted Turner, Oprah Winfrey and many more.
In May 2009, the WSJ as well as the Sunday Times reported: (John Harlow, Los Angeles) that
“Some
of America’s leading billionaires have met secretly to consider how
their wealth could be used to slow the growth of the world’s population
and speed up improvements in health and education.”
The emphasis was not on population growth (i.e Planned Parenthood) but on “Depopulation”, i.e,. the reduction in the absolute size of the World’s population.
BostonGlobe | On a recent warm and humid summer night, a group of public health colleagues and I were approaching a restaurant for dinner. “Inside or out?” I asked. Not long ago, COVID-19 would have decided — outside. But not that night. We ate inside, where it was cooler.
Like so many others, we are living with COVID. The virus isn’t going anywhere, but how safely we live with it has changed dramatically. Most Americans have resumed the full range of their pre-pandemic activities — concerts, parties, summer camps, and family events. But with the virus still circulating, many who have gone back to pre-pandemic life still worry if they are safe.
It makes sense to be wary. We have lived with these risk assessments and daily decisions for almost four years. And yet we are in a much different, much better place. We can protect ourselves with vaccines,
which remain free and widely available. Treatments like Paxlovid are
more accessible than ever. Innovative research continues, with an updated vaccine expected in the fall that will better target the circulating variant.
Tests are available for those who still want to use testing, and
surveillance, through wastewater and genomic sequencing, is much better
than it used to be. Add in large investments in improving indoor air
quality and the infrastructure to respond more effectively to future
outbreaks and things are much better.
The
truth is that we can now prevent nearly every COVID death. People who
are up to date on their vaccines and get treated when infected rarely
get seriously ill. Even for the vulnerable like my parents, who are in
their 80s, vaccines coupled with treatments provide a very high degree
of protection against serious illness. This is also true for most
immuno-compromised individuals. The fact is, now a few basic steps mean
you can ignore COVID safely — and get back to doing things that matter,
even with COVID still around. Think of these safety measures like the
routine check-ups that keep your car safe to drive.
What
are these measures? The most important is making sure immunity is up to
date. For most of us, this means one COVID booster shot annually. For
high-risk people whose immune systems are less robust (like my parents
and others over 65), two shots per year will help shore up waning
immunity and avoid unnecessary vulnerability. The Biden administration
has made a large investment in building vaccines that will stop
infections and whose benefits will potentially last years. Until those
vaccines arrive, an updated shot annually for most of us and two shots a
year for the most vulnerable will keep most people safe from serious
illness.
I
get it — no one likes to get shots. But vaccines are the single
greatest weapon we have to put the pandemic behind us. Getting a shot
against the flu is already a regular part of the lives of many
Americans, including those of us who work in health care. Vulnerable
Americans will be safer if we all get both flu and COVID shots every
year.
Second,
if you do contract COVID, make use of the highly effective treatments.
There are several available now and more coming soon. These treatments,
like Paxlovid, are remarkable at preventing serious illness,
with some preliminary evidence that they might also help reduce the
risk of long COVID. While treatments are particularly important for
those of us over 50, all adults should immediately explore treatments if
they contract COVID.
NEJM | The development of safe and
effective Covid-19 vaccines and treatments within a year after
SARS-CoV-2 was first identified represents one of the great successes of
modern science.1
Thanks to the ingenuity of scientists, along with cooperation between
the U.S. government and the private sector, these medical
countermeasures changed the trajectory of the pandemic, saving millions
of lives in the United States and tens of millions globally. Today,
nearly 70% of Americans have received their primary vaccination series,
including nearly 95% of those over 65 years of age.2
Although
the numbers of deaths and hospitalizations due to Covid-19 have dropped
by more than 90% since President Joe Biden took office, our fight
against SARS-CoV-2 is not over. The virus continues to evolve rapidly3
and still causes substantial numbers of infections, hospitalizations,
and deaths each day. The emergence of new variants is hard to predict
and continues to threaten the ability of countermeasures such as
monoclonal antibodies to protect vulnerable patients. Immunity from both
vaccines and infection wanes over time. The only way to stay ahead of
the virus is to continue to update the composition of our vaccines and
administer them in a regular cadence. Although this strategy is
critical, with our current generation of vaccines, it also requires
immense resources for mounting frequent vaccination campaigns — at a
time when antivaccination sentiment continues to grow and the public’s
appetite for regular vaccinations has waned.
Next-generation
vaccines and treatments are needed if we are to break the cycle of
responding to new variants as they appear: we need tools that can
improve our bodies’ ability to stop infections, reduce transmission,
build longer-lasting immunity, and target parts of the virus that are
less likely to evolve.4
Ideally, such vaccines and treatments would provide better protection,
enabling us to avoid disruptions of our lives and continue to enjoy the
activities we value.
Since it’s safe to assume that
SARS-CoV-2 will continue to evolve, the goal for the next generation of
vaccines and treatments is to be effective irrespective of that
evolution — to protect against infection, transmission, and severe
illness. This new approach is important for everyone, but particularly
for the most vulnerable people — older adults and people who are
immunocompromised, for whom infections can have more severe
consequences.
The Biden administration has
therefore announced Project NextGen, which will coordinate a
whole-of-government effort to advance innovations from labs through
clinical trials and safely deliver them to the public. It aims to bring
new vaccines and treatments to market by investing in research and
development, expanding manufacturing capability and innovation, and
providing updated and streamlined regulatory guidance. This $5 billion
investment will focus on three main areas: vaccines that provide broader
immunity both against new SARS-CoV-2 variants and across the family of
epidemic-prone sarbecoviruses, vaccines that generate effective mucosal
immunity to block infection and transmission, and monoclonal antibodies
that can weather viral evolution and serve as a basis for our arsenal
against new threats from beta-coronaviruses.
Why is
government investment needed at this time and for this effort? Although
there is consensus that these tools are critical for our fight moving
forward, current market forces have made development slow. Reduced
interest in traditional vaccines has limited investments in this area.
In addition, the science underpinning these efforts is difficult and
requires work that is not guaranteed to pay off on the timelines that
many private investors seek. There are also important scientific and
regulatory challenges, such as determining how to best measure a new
vaccine’s efficacy. Although companies may eventually bring the needed
products to market, the current anticipated timelines could leave the
public vulnerable, without additional tools, for many years. This
prospect reflects a classic market failure: the costs of development
have been left to private market forces that may not place adequate
value on products’ broad benefits for the people of the United States
and the rest of the world.
The U.S. government has
committed to accelerating the science by streamlining development
processes, using such strategies as standardizing assays, standardizing
protocols, and providing timely regulatory guidance. This approach will
build on years of success of the Biomedical Advanced Research and
Development Authority (an agency within the Department of Health and
Human Services), and it is designed to help ensure that new tools reach
the American people in the shortest time possible.
amidwesterndoctor |Reducing global population has been a consistent goal of the ruling class for centuries. While many support the abstract idea of population control, no one wants to volunteer to be the ones who are culled. The business of population control has hence been a very messy subject.
When
the COVID vaccine program began, I—and likely many others—suspected the
COVID vaccines would have an “unexpected” side effect of reducing
fertility. Early in their development, Mike Yeadon (and others) at
great personal risk publicly warned regulators of a clear fertility
danger inherent to the vaccine (found in section IX of their petition).
Subsequent
regulatory document leaks from the European FDA revealed Pfizer
exempted themselves from testing the key areas of concern (infertility,
autoimmunity and cancer) in animals. This highly unusual moved further
suggested serious problems existed in these three areas (as you can’t
find something if you don’t officially test for it).
Despite
repeated denials, signs of each of these key complications from the
vaccine have now emerged. While I do not have every piece of the
puzzle—there are likely many “population control initiatives” I’ve never
heard of—I know enough to paint a clear picture of this dirty
business.
The first half of this two-part article
will lay out the historical precedent of using any means necessary to
reduce the population, while the second part will examine how this has
been attempted with vaccinations.
Cruel Philosophies
As
best as I can tell, there are three overlapping schools of thought that
have created the zealous belief in a need for population control.
1. Many governments, especially those in the East, have adopted the
viewpoint that periodic wars are necessary for the stability of the
society. This viewpoint primarily arises from social instability caused
by too many young adult males in the state coupled with the issues that
occur when there is insufficient food available to the population. In
turn, many wars have been fought specifically for this reason. (I am
most familiar with this being a common theme in China, as they have
observed over the centuries the one thing that will cause rebellions are
famines.)
Following World War 2, the Western ruling elite came to
a consensus that the war approach was no longer tenable due to the
extreme collateral infrastructure and environmental damage modern
weaponry (ie. nukes) created. I only know of two exceptions to this
rule:
Wars in third-world nations lacking advaced weaponry
where the collateral damage those wars caused was inconsequential to
first-world nations.
Talks that occurred within the Chinese
military leadership, but have so far not materialized, over starting a
war with India so both countries could mutually alleviate their
challenging population burden. For context, China has attempted
population control with their “one-child” policy, but it has been met
with mixed success and widespread social resistance.
The
alternative to war is a multi-pronged attack that seeks every possible
avenue to reduce fertility and accelerate aging, which many argue is the
more humane option of the two. One of the curious facts I have
observed over the decades is how frequently an odd policy or
environmental agent always seems to converge on the common pathway of
reducing population. Once or twice, you can write it up as a
coincidence, but at a certain point, you have to wonder if it is all
intentional.
When I studied the early history of infectious diseases (discussed in my previous articles
on smallpox), one of the most striking things to me was the absolute
squalor the serfs were forced into as the feudal lords kicked them off
the land to live in the early cities. It was much worse than most
people of this modern era can even conceive of.
When I
first learned of this, I guessed the suffering that move caused for the
lower class must have been viewed as a necessary trade off by the
European rulership to facilitate the Industrial Revolution, something
vital for national development. After I learned about the Malthusian
philosophy, I realized those abhorrent living situations was likely the
goal in of itself.
In 1798, Rev. Thomas R Malthus published the influential work An Essay on the Principle of Population,which
argued that human populations tend to increase at a geometrical
(exponential) rate, but the means of subsistence (food) grows at only an
arithmetic (linear) rate. "The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power of the earth to produce subsistence for man,"
according to Malthus, who therefore believed the standard of living of
the masses could not be improved without the checks of war, famine, or
disease. In their absence, population would increase by a geometric rate
and lead to a catastrophic “Malthusian” food supply collapse.
While
there are numerous errors in his theory, Malthus was appointed to
multiple important positions, and his ideas appear to have gradually
become a prevailing conviction among members of the ruling classes in
the 19th century. These ideas also influenced other key figures, such as
Charles Darwin while he created his theory of evolution and natural
selection.
Numerous groups were founded over the
decades, which emphasized birth control and increasing mortality of the
poor. These groups included Dr. George Drysdale's Elements of Social
Science in 1854, the Malthusian League in
1877, and Margret Sanger’s National Birth Control League in 1915, which
became the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in 1942. Initially
these groups were domestic, but gradually they became global, at which
point, they tied international aid and development to population control
measures.
The Malthusian and Darwinian ideals gradually
gave birth to Social Darwinism and Eugenics, which were both widely
adopted by the ruling elite. Social Darwinism argued that class
divisions were the will of nature and that this form of natural
selection, rather than being evil, was necessary. The most extreme
version of this ideology, eugenics, appears to have arisen from two key
factors:
1. The tribal nature of human beings and the tendency
to view all other tribes as inferior (the ruling class felt this way
towards the poor).
2. The advances of society were
making it possible for many of the weaker members of society, who
previously would have died off, to survive long enough to reproduce and,
over time, significantly weaken the gene pool.
Eugenics
in turn advocated preventing those who were less “fit” from breeding.
This has been responsible for horror upon horror since its inception,
and it provided the theoretical foundation for why, among other things,
the Nazis forcibly sterilized the mentally-ill. When the Nazis
eventually were tried at Nuremberg for their crimes against humanity,
few know that that many cited the fact similar actions were first
conducted by the “Great United States” as part of their defense.
NYTimes | Ever since Justin, a 15-year-old high school freshman, tried marijuana on his birthday two years ago, he has smoked almost every day, several times a day, he said.
“If I smoke a blunt, after that blunt I’m going to be chill,” he said on a recent morning at a corner deli near his school, the Bronx Design and Construction Academy. “I’m not going to be stressing about nothing at all.”
Another boy came by and flashed two glass tubes of smokable flower. More students were smoking across the street in a doorway and on a stoop. On another corner, a smoke shop frequented by children in backpacks and uniforms opened about half an hour before the first bell.
While it has long been common for some teens to smoke marijuana, teachers and students say that more and younger students are smoking throughout the day and at school.
There is little definitive data on marijuana use among children, and what information is available can sometimes offer a contradictory picture. Disciplinary data from the city education department reflects a 10 percent increase in alcohol- and drug-related offenses this year compared to 2019. But a city survey found teen cannabis use had declined in 2021, the same year that the state legalized marijuana for recreational use, to the lowest level recorded since the question was added to the survey in 1997.
Still, two dozen students and teachers at public, private and charter schools across the city said in interviews that some classrooms were in disarray as more pupils showed up late and high.
They said that with the proliferation of unlicensed smoke shops and the availability of vape pens and edible products, cannabis has never been more accessible and inconspicuous. They relayed accounts of students taking hits of vaping pens when teachers turned their backs, of bathrooms and stairwells becoming smoking lounges and of the smell of weed wafting through school hallways.
“It really feels like this unstoppable tide that we’re futilely trying to suppress,” said America Billy, 44, who has been teaching at a public high school in Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn, for over a decade. She said it was hard to know whether a student was out of it because of a lack of sleep, family stress or drugs.
In December, a former principal, April McKoy, described in a letter how students’ cannabis use had spiraled out of control during her last two years in charge of City Polytechnic High School of Engineering, Architecture, and Technology in Brooklyn.
“It felt like more and more were using without knowing the source, impact or consequences of early marijuana use,” Ms. McKoy said in the letter, adding that students had returned after the pandemic “sad, isolated and trying to find ways to cope.”
Freshmen were selling cannabis to each other, and she said she witnessed a smoke shop sell edibles to 14-year-olds with police officers nearby. On another occasion, she sent four students to the hospital because they were sickened from contaminated edibles, she said.
The proliferation of unlicensed smoke shops, which the city says may number as many as 1,500, could be one factor driving marijuana use among children, officials said.
Gale Brewer, a city councilwoman, said that though she had counted fewer than 10 of them in her district on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in September, there were 64 by March. Several school administrators have complained to her about merchants selling joints and infused candies as well as high-potency concentrates and vapes to students.
“We were all saying we need social workers, we need psychologists, we need mental health support in the schools,” she said. But dealing with smoke shops selling to children “was not on the list.”
therealnews | Well actually, there’s three new books because I published The Global Police State in 2020, and this year, there are two new books, Global Civil War and Can Global Capitalism Endure?
But what happened was I was writing and thinking about and speaking
about this crisis from 2008 and on, and then the pandemic hit. And it
became clear to me as I started researching that and engaging with other
people that the pandemic has accelerated in warp speed the crisis
itself, and it’s introduced a whole new set of concerns as we face this
crisis of humanity. And that book also goes into considerable detail on
digitalization, because the digital transformations underway are
absolutely tremendous. They’re linked to everything else.
But then the companion to Global Civil War – And both of these came out in 2022 – Is Can Global Capitalism Endure?,
which is really the big summation of the crisis and what we can expect
in the following years and the following decades. So if it’s possible, I
would love to put out a summary here of where we’re at with this
crisis.
This is a crisis like never before. This is an existential crisis.
It’s multidimensional. Of course, we can talk about the economic or the
structural dimension, deep economic, social crisis. We’re on the verge
of a world recession, but I think it’s going to be much more than that.
It’s going to be another big collapse which might even exceed what we
saw in 2008. But it’s also a political crisis of state legitimacy, of
capitalist hegemony, of the crack up of political systems around the
world. And it’s also a social crisis of what technically we can call a
crisis of social reproduction. The social fabric is disintegrating
everywhere. Billions of people face crises for survival and very
uncertain futures. And of course, it’s also an ecological crisis, and
this is what makes it existential.
I am suggesting that the 21st century is the final century for world
capitalism. This system cannot reach the 22nd century. And the key
question for us is, can we overthrow global capitalism before it drags
down and destroys all of humanity and much of life on the planet along
with it?
So let me step back and say that we can speak about three types of
crises. Of course, there are periodic receptions, the mainstream goals
of the business cycle that take place about once every 10 years, but
we’re in something much more serious. We’re in what we can call a
structural crisis, meaning that the only way out of the system is to
fund it. The only way out of the crisis is to really restructure the
whole system. The last big structural crisis we had was the 1970s. The
system got out of that by launching capitalist globalization and
neoliberalism. Prior to that, we had the big structural crisis of the
1930s, the Great Depression. System got out of that by introducing a new
type of capitalism, New Deal capitalism, social democratic capitalism,
what I call redistributive nation state capitalism. And before that,
just to take it back once more – Because these are recurrent, they
happen, these structural crises about every 40 to 50 years – Was from
the late 1870s to the early 1890s. And the system got out of that by
launching a new round of colonialism and imperialism.
So now, from 2008 and on, we’re in another deep structural crisis.
And I know later in the interview we’ll get into that dimension, that
economic structural dimension. Technically, we call it an
overaccumulation crisis. But I want to say that there’s a third type of
crisis, and that actually is where we’re at: a systemic crisis, which
means the only way out of the crisis is to literally move beyond the
system. That is, to move beyond capitalism. So when I say that we are in
a systemic crisis, this can be drawn out for years, for decades. But we
are in uncharted territory. This is a crisis like no other. If we want
to put this in technical terms, we’re seeing the historic exhaustion of
the conditions for capitalist renewal. And the system, again, won’t make
it to the [22nd] century.
As you pointed out in the introduction, the ruling groups, at this
point, are in a situation of permanent crisis management, permanent
state of emergency. But the ruling groups are rudderless. They’re
clueless. They don’t know how to resolve this crisis. And quite frankly,
they cannot. They can’t. What we’ve seen is that over the past 40
years, world capitalism has been driven forward by this trickle process
that I lay out in these two new books, Global Civil War and Can Global Capitalism Endure?,
of globalization, digitalization, and financialization. And these three
processes have aggravated the crisis, really created and aggravated the
crisis many times over. And just to summarize a couple other things
here, what we’ve seen over the last 40 years is the buildup of this
structural crisis and the problem of surplus capital, meaning that
corporate profits in 2021 were a record high even in the midst of us all
moving down and suffering. Record high profits. So the transnational
capitalist class has accumulated enormous amounts of wealth beyond what
it can reinvest, hence stagnation, beyond what it can even spend.
And what this has led to is this mass of what we call – I know we’re
going to get into this later in the interview – This mass of fictitious
capital, meaning all of this capital around the world which is not
backed by the real economy of goods and services. It’s what technically
we call fiat money, this unprecedented flow of money. And it’s led to
this situation where in the world today we have this mass of predatory
finance capital which is simply without precedent, and it’s
destabilizing the whole system.
But let me conclude this introductory summary by saying the problem
of surplus capital has its flip side in surplus people, surplus
humanity. The more the surplus capital, the more hundreds of millions,
even billions of people become surplus humanity.
And what that means is that the ruling groups have a double
challenge. Their first challenge is what do they do with all the surplus
capital? How do they keep investing in making profit? Where can they
unload this surplus capital and continue to accumulate? But the second
big challenge, because the flip side is surplus humanity, is how do you
control the mass of humanity? Because there is a global class revolt
underway. That’s the title of the book, Global Civil War. After
the late 20th century worldwide defeat of proletarian forces, now the
mass of humanity is on the move again. There are these rebellions from
below breaking out all over the world. And the ruling groups have the
challenge of how to contain this actual rebellion underway and the
potential for it to bring down the system from, oh, no.
newstarget | Three doctors in the armed forces have decided to blow the lid
on the United States military’s open deception concerning the negative
outcome of Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccination” on American
troops.
According to the three whistleblowers, medical billing code data
captured by the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED), which is
run by the Department of Defense (DoD), shows that rates of miscarriage,
myocarditis, cancer, Bell’s palsy, female infertility, and many other
health conditions are up big time.
Cancer rates are particularly concerning, they say, as the normal
average number of new cases per year is about 38,700, based on the time
period from 2016-2020. In 2021 after Operation Warp Speed was launched,
however, the number of new cancer cases that year rose to 114,645.
The Armed Forces Health Surveillance Branch (AFHSB) runs the DMED,
which it describes as a “web-based tool to remotely query de-identified
active component personnel and medical event data contained within the
Defense Medical Surveillance System (DMSS).”
“The database contains every International Classification of Diseases
(ICD) medical billing code for all medical diagnoses submitted by the
military for medical insurance billing,” reports explain. (Related:
Remember at the launch of Operation Warp Speed when Dr. Sara Beltrán
Ponce, MD, suffered a horrific miscarriage right after getting jabbed for the Chinese Flu?)
Neurological issues up 1,000% in military following Operation Warp Speed
The three military whistleblowers in question are Samuel Sigoloff,
Peter Chambers, and Theresa Long. Attorney Thomas Renz issued sworn
statements from these three to the courts as part of a major lawsuit.
During the first 10 months of 2021, Renz says, miscarriages alone
rose by 300 percent in the military. His hope is that the suit will lead
to an end for covid jab mandates in the military.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) is also involved, having recently hosted
“COVID-19: A Second Opinion,” a livestreamed discussion panel featuring
numerous world-renowned doctors and medical experts who offered a much
different take on the scamdemic and how the government handled it.
On February 1 of this year, Johnson wrote a letter to U.S. Secretary
of Defense Lloyd Austin. In it were the findings from a roundtable on
covid jab injuries and deaths, including data showing a 10-fold increase
in neurological issues post-Operation Warp Speed.
Johnson also revealed the following increases in other health
conditions following the mandate of covid injections in the military:
Hypertension: 2,181 percent increase
Nervous system disorders: 1,048 percent increase
Malignant neoplasms of esophagus: 894 percent increase
Multiple sclerosis: 680 percent increase
Malignant neoplasms of digestive organs: 624 percent increase
Guillain-Barre syndrome: 551 percent increase
Breast cancer: 487 percent increase
Demyelinating: 487 percent increase
Malignant neoplasms of thyroid and other endocrine glands: 474 percent increase
Female infertility: 472 percent increase
Pulmonary embolism: 468 percent increase
Migraines: 452 percent increase
Ovarian dysfunction: 437 percent increase
Testicular cancer: 369 percent increase
Tachycardia: 302 percent increase
Between the years of 2016 and 2020, there were 1,499 codes for
miscarriage reported each year. From January through October 2021 – not
even a full year – there were an astounding 4,182 miscarriages logged
into the system.
