US LAWLESSNESS

GLENN GREENWALD—Even the specific “press freedom attack” Blinken referenced in that video interview — namely, Russia’s recent demand that media outlets linked to foreign governments such as Radio Free Europe register as “foreign agents” with the Russian government and pay fines for their failure to do so — is one which Blinken and his comrades have wielded against others for years. Indeed, Russia was responding to the U.S. Government’s previous demand that RT and other Russian news agencies register as “foreign agents” in the U.S., as well as the Biden administration’s escalated attacksjust last month on news agencies it claims serves as propaganda agents for the Kremlin.

It is hardly new for the U.S. to dole out lectures which the rest of the world recognizes as complete farces. In 2015, then-President Obama was prancing around India giving lectures on the importance of human rights, only to cut short his trip to fly to Saudi Arabia, where he met numerous top officials of the U.S. Government to pay homage to Saudi King Abdullah, their long-time close and highly repressive ally whose totalitarian regime Obama did so much to fortify.

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”).

Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton of Moderate Rebels discuss with world-renowned economist Michael Hudson his concept of US “Super Imperialism,” the new cold war on China and Russia, and the potential end to the dollar as the global reserve currency. 

MOA—The reasons the WaPo editors reopen the issue has nothing to do with real concern about the origin of the pandemic. The sole purpose is to further incite hostility towards China. We can discern this from the author of the open letter which prompted the editorial:

A group of scientists, in an open letter released Friday, correctly called for a “full scientific and forensic investigation into all possible origins” of the virus, and provided a set of unanswered questions about the laboratory and its work.
The ten pages long letter lists a number of questions and makes unreasonable demands for free access to certain Chinese databases and forensic collections. It is signed by 26 ‘scientists’ only half of whom seem to be from a related medical or biological field.

PATRICE GREANVILLE—WHILE SMUG LIBERALS SPEND THEIR TIME FIGHTING OVER IMBECILITIES—
It’s been evident from the start, and although it’s been going on for years, indeed generations, and of late it has acquired truly outrageous dimensions of cynicism, no one seems to notice that US “extraditions” of foreign citizens contravene all established canons of international law, on which the global order is supposedly founded. Jimmy Dore is left speechless.
