• If the Pandemic Thinking Was Applied To Everything by comedian JP Sears from his AwakenWithJP channel via YouTube. (I thought I would start you off with something humorous.)
  

• California Mandates All Food Must Be Consumed Through IV To Ensure Masks Are Never Removed from The Babylon Bee. (This is satire. Maybe because of reports like this.)

• Battlefield Social Media: The West's Growing Censorship by Ulson Gunnar from New Eastern Outlook.

Last evening I viewed a film produced by 7th Chakra Films entitled "1986 The Act". It is outstanding in its professional quality production and it offers documented illustrations for the most horrific crimes ever committed by a ruling class against the rest of society under the system of capitalism. I urge you to order it in one of their formats. If you have budget constraints which prevent you from purchasing it, notify me at goatmeal36@yahoo.com.

• ‘COVID Vaccines’ Could Be Useless at Lowering Death, Give You Symptoms of Mild COVID, and Still Pass Clinical Trials by Dr. Peter Doshi posted on Anti-Empire, but the source is the NY Times. (Note: I am posting this from Anti-Empire because the framing of the article is more relevant than the NY Times--but there is a link to the latter provided in this post.) 

• What do HONEST SCIENTISTS say about covid-19 and the pandemic? from Wake Up to the Truth.

• Assaulting Science in the Name of Science: Exploring the Coronavirus Crisis of 2020: A Compilation and Commentary on Online Essays by Prof. Anthony J. Hall from Global Research (based in Canada).
  

• Protests & Provocateurs: Infiltrators are Disrupting BLM Protests by David Rfosen from CounterPunch. My reaction: Although the article starts out with statements disparaging Trump like all liberal media, it soon describes the infiltration tactics and agent provocateurs that are used by the capitalist class to manipulate protests. It focuses on lessons that have been learned by every generation since the Vietnam War, and must be relearned by current activists at an accelerated pace if the protests are to be effective.

• How Exceptional America Is by Eric Zuesse from Strategic Culture Foundation. My reaction: Zuesse often uses the feudal word "aristocracy" for a ruling class partially in order to be published in liberal-left websites, but mostly because he was indoctrinated by many years of education in the USA to absolutely avoid any writing that is associated with Marxist thought. You see, Marxism is verboten in the USA and throughout most of the the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. "Marxian" can only be used by professors to indicate that they only have an academic interest in Marxist ideology. This is part of the Empire's indoctrination program to control and prevent thought that does not favor a capitalist system, a system founded on private ownership. Public ownership and control of an economy is blasphemous to this capitalist religion. Still, as a critic of US policies, his writings are valuable to read.
  

• Eco-socialism and/or De-growth by Michael Löwy from Rise (based in Ireland). (Note: This is a best post.)
  

How to distinguish the authentic from the artificial, factitious (artificially created) and makeshift needs? The last ones are induced by mental manipulation, i.e. advertisement. The advertising system has invaded all spheres of human life in modern capitalist societies: not only food and clothing, but sports, culture, religion and politics are shaped according to its rules. It has invaded our streets, mail boxes, TV-screens, newspapers, landscapes, in a permanent, aggressive and insidious way, and it decisively contributes to habits of conspicuous and compulsive consumption. Moreover, it wastes an astronomical amount of oil, electricity, labour time, paper, chemicals, and other raw materials - all paid by the consumers - in a branch of “production” which is not only useless, from a human viewpoint, but directly in contradiction with real social needs. While advertisement is an indispensable dimension of the capitalist market economy, it would have no place in a society in transition to socialism, where it would be replaced by information on goods and services provided by consumer associations. The criteria for distinguishing an authentic from an artificial need, is its persistence after the suppression of advertisement (Coca Cola!). Of course, during some years, old habits of consumption would persist, and nobody has the right to tell the people what their needs are. The change in the patterns of consumption is a historical process, as well as an educational challenge.

• From British Israelism to the Miami Model: What’s Behind QAnon’s 2020 Resurgence? by Raul Diego from Mint Press News. (Note: Be sure to click on the link "investigation" that will take you to a Mother Jones article on which this article is based.)

• US Politics Isn’t ‘Polarized’; It’s In Almost Universal Agreement by Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog.
  

• How A Secret Society Created The Federal Reserve At Jekyll Island featuring G. Edward Griffin, author of book entitled The Creature from Jekyll Island, in a lengthy 1:24:22 interview. This post is from Valuetainment channel of YouTube. (Note: I have not posted an exposé of the Federal Reserve for sometime, but it is important that you know about the history of this essential capitalist ruling class organization because it is controlled by major private banking institutions that issues our money.) 

• The War on Truth, Dissent and Free Speech by Dr Piers Robinson from Off-Guardian.

• Rudy Gobert and the Infectious Disease of the Uyghur “Genocide” Myth by Danny Haiphong from American Herald Tribune. 

• 6 Wikileaks Revelations Expose Corporate Abuse At The Expense of People & Planet by Jeremy Loffredo from Children's Health Defense. (Note: Also by Loffredo is a short piece entitled "Sackler Family of Purdue Pharma Keeps Their Billions Amid Opioid Crisis" that I recommend. I believe (without much evidence) that the occupation of Afghanistan by US Forces which protected Afghanistan's opium poppy crops resulted in this crime.)

• Nature Bats Last Show, October 6, 2020 from Arctic News. Note: I am posting this from Arctic News because a participant in the discussion is Sam Carana (SC), who is an editor of Arctic News, and the website supplies a transcript of the discussion which I recommend reading instead of viewing the lengthy 1:24:22 video. The discussion is led by retired Dr. Guy McPherson (GM):

GM: We are delighted to have the inimitable Sam Carana on today’s show. We submitted written questions to Carana and went back-and-forth a couple times to pursue follow-up questions. Our frequent guest, Pauline Schneider, will be supplying the voice of Dr. Carana. You can find Carana’s blog at Arctic hyphen news dot blogspot dot com. Dr. Carana posts anonymously about abrupt, irreversible climate change. To preserve her anonymity, we will refer to her as female, Sam, and Dr. Carana. A caveat is in order: In doing so, we are acknowledging our respect for Carana’s work, and we are not indicating Carana’s credentials or gender. Dr. Carana, welcome to Nature Bats Last on the Progressive Radio Network. 

SC: Pleasure to be with you.

Because domestic issues have predominated in the last six months, I've been concentrating on those subjects to the neglect of foreign events. In this post I hope to make up for that shortfall. 

Note: I updated today (Wednesday, Oct. 7) the article by Webb to link it to The Last American Vagabond for your convenience.)

 

• PCR Inventor: “It doesn’t tell you that you are sick” by David James from Off-Guardian.
  

There has been a great deal of controversy over claims that Kary Mullis, the creator of the PCR technology that is being widely used to test for so-called ‘cases’ of COVID-19, did not believe the technology was suitable for detecting a meaningful presence of a virus. 

Those making these assertions were attacked and ‘fact checked’ (deemed inappropriate by propagandists) by news outlets claiming that Mullis’ comments had been taken out of context. 

So when a video surfaces with Mullis talking about the efficacy of the technology it is worth paying close attention to what he is saying.

• And a Plague Shall Cover the Land of Trump by Brendan O’Neill from Anti-Empire. My reaction: The author points to the dominant capitalist ruling class and its method derived from the Middle Ages to shape the views held by ordinary Americans via their media corporations:

And there you have it, in terrifying black and white, in explicit Biblical writ: if Trump stays in power, America will be visited by floods, fires and plagues; death will come to your door; pestilence will be visited upon the land. This pre-modernism among those who fancy themselves as modern – as enlightened and ‘woke’ – is striking. It speaks to their own profound inability to come up with a vision for the US that might inspire voters, so instead they must invoke a PC version of Leviticus and warn people that if you don’t choose us then you will be consumed by hellfire and disease. And it confirms what they find so distasteful about so-called Trumpworld – the fact that it has dared to question expert authority, pushed aside the liberal elites who believe that they are the only people sensible enough to rule, and propagated the apparently outrageous idea that ordinary people (eurgh) have something to contribute to the discussion about how we deal with Covid-19 and other crises. 

This is what lurks behind the irrational, anti-Enlightened treatment of Covid as a metaphor for the sicknesses of 21st-century America – the desperation of the bruised old elites to regain their authority over a people whom they view as too dumb, vulgar and destructive to govern their own lives. Now that’s sick.

But, in the time remaining, I continue working on my weblog in the hope that humans will end the last stage of capitalism--transnational or neoliberal fascism.)

• Truth Seeker by Jim Meehan MD from his website which apparently is being updated. (Note: Meehan's covid-19 website challenges many of the conventional beliefs about the pandemic spread by media corporations and supported by government health authorities such as the wearing of masks, lockdowns, vaccinations, etc. One thing he does agree with them regarding the prevention of covid-19 is the benefits of social distancing. Dr. Meehan often points to Big Pharma and their huge profits as the cause of their recommendations. Kate Porter of Children's Health Defense apparently agrees with him. I have no health credentials, but I find his assembling of scientific evidence compelling in support of his challenges. In the absence of reliable information regarding the illness, we as individuals must decide for ourselves regarding measures to maintain our health.)

• We Are Being Lied To! Here Is How… by Spiro Skouras from Activist Post. (My reaction: I've read numerous articles that the PCR test produced a substantial number of false positives. Skouras provides details on the fallibility of PCR test. Listening to media corporations and government health authorities, the accuracy of the PCR test is a fact, and often the positive results are added to their reports on covid-19 "cases".)

• No jobs, so what future? Half the world’s workforce on the edge. By Ned Temko from The Christian Science Monitor.

• Germany’s Extra-Parliamentary Corona Investigative Commission Launching a Class Action Suit Against Corona Criminals by Peter Koenig from Global Research. (Note: The author reports that legal challenges to government health edicts are being used in Germany and the USA, under the latter's Class Action Suits, for personal damages due to loss of jobs, income, etc.)
