PATRICE GREANVILLE—Were the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines rolled out to market without the benefit of long-term effects studies? We know the Western governments, led by Washington, favored the vaccines developed in the US ad UK, chiefly the Pfizer and Moderna brands, giving them, for political reasons, not only public funding (while their profits would remain private), but also, as added incentive, shielded them from lawsuits via government-decreed immunity. The bottom line is that we stand today with tens of millions of people vaccinated with these substances—a form of gene therapy— with little knowledge about the actual mechanism of these substances and the repercussions of what should be duly defined as a mass experiment. In this climate, the government and the media throughout the West have clamped down on skeptics, accusing them of fomenting “vaccine hesitancy” (surely a new type of crime) and other offences related to civil disobedience. The issue is complicated because resistance or criticism of the type offered here by brave physicians like Dr Hoffe can be easily confused with an endorsement of the older, more general anti-vaccine posture embraced by millions of people these days (“anti-vaxxers”).

Ramsey Clark Described His Government As Humanity’s Ever More Threatening and Treacherous Enemy
24 minutes readRAMSEY CLARK—”The consistent underlying psychology of the United States, which has held the lead in nuclear war capability and capacity throughout these 40 [now 75] years, should be understandable to anyone who has ever known a violent neighborhood bully. The government of Americans means to have its way through the use and threatened to use of superior force. It will lie. It will deceive. It will kill. It will escalate the threat and use of force to the highest level it dares. It will bluff, dangerous as that can be. It will do whatever is must to dominate. It does this in the face of the fact that its very preparation for a nuclear war may destroy all life. American war planners busily devised strategies for crippling the Soviet Union with revealing names like BROILER, FROLIC, SIZZLE, SHAKEDOWN, DROPSHOT, and VULTURE. The number of Soviet targets to be destroyed grew in number from 20 cities in December 1945 to 200 cities in 1949 and to 3261 total targets by 1957. The number of times the use of nuclear weapons has been contemplated by Americans is unbearable.

The Butterfly Effect Re-Setting the Global Paradigm
17 minutes readALASTAIR BROOKE—The shift of paradigm centred on the U.S. pivot away from West Asia naturally impacts on Iran’s JCPOA calculus too: With the U.S. pursuing a 5th generation full-spectrum ‘knock-back’ delivered to the China-Russia axis, Iran cannot (and will not) allow itself to be positioned as hors de combat, bogged down in lengthy negotiations over the JCPOA. The archetypal exemplar of the Imam at Kerbala will require Iran to adopt a principled stand with its allies – and with ‘the Axis’. Already, we see Saudi Arabia responding, in its own way, to the paradigm shift – through opening channels with both Tehran and Damascus.

PEPE ESCOBAR—Nearly two decades and a staggering US$2 trillion after this Forever War was launched by a now immensely indebted empire, the debacle can certainly be interpreted as a warped version of Mission Accomplished.
“They make a desert and call it peace,” said Tacitus – but in all of the vastness of the Pentagon there sits not a single flack who could imagine getting away with baldfacedly spinning the Afghan wasteland as peaceful.
Even the UN bureaucratic machinery has not been able to properly account for Afghan civilian deaths; at best they settled for 100,000 in only ten years. Add to that toll countless “collateral” deaths provoked by the massive social and economic consequences of the war.
Training and weaponizing the – largely inefficient – 300,000-plus Afghan Army cost $87 billion. “Economic aid and reconstruction” cost $54 billion: literally invisible hospitals and schools dot the Afghan landscape. A local chapter of the “war on drugs” cost $10 billion – at least with (inverted) tangible results: Afghanistan now generates 80% of the world’s opium.
