• The Guardian Revealed Its True Face in Sacking a Columnist for Criticising US Military Aid to Israel by Jonathan Cook from CounterPunch.

• The West Refuses To Recognize Palestinian Democratic Election Outcomes by Robert Inlakesh from The Last American Vagabond. 

• Caught In The Act - New York Times "Selectively Misquotes" Scientists To Fit Its "Prescribed Narrative" by Bernhard (a German independent blogger) from his weblog Moon of Alabama.
  

• With Argentina, the Condor Plan Closed the “Circle of Death!” by Gabriela Calloti from Internationalist 360°. This is what I lived through in the 1970s and '80s:

The expert began her presentation by indicating that the “concrete base” of Operation Condor was in Chile during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet after the overthrow of Salvador Allende in September 1973. Plan Condor and Operation Condor were launched by U.S. intelligence services. 

Operation Condor included three phases designed by the FBI (U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation) and with input from the CIA (U.S. Central Intelligence Agency). They were aimed at “finishing off all the important exiles abroad in each of the Southern Cone countries”, she explained. 

Included in this scheme was the training of Latin American military personnel at the U.S. Southern Command and the meetings of the U.S. Armed Forces. This “ensured the dependence of our region”, she affirmed. Referring to the founding of the Condor Plan, she said that it took place on November 25, 1975 in Chile at the invitation of General Manuel Contreras, head of the Chilean political police DINA (National Intelligence Directorate) with the participation of Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina.

But this US/Anglo/Zionist Empire's subversion of nations continues today especially in Belarus, Russia, Myanmar, and China under the banner of "human rights".

• Atlantic Council Braces for Opportunities of Potential Bioterror Attack by Raul Diego from Mint Press News. My reaction: Could this be a projected (def) cover for the Empire's plans? The US/Anglo/Zionist Empire has never stopped developing bio-weapons since they employed such weapons in the Korean War (read This Must Be the Place (2013) by Dave Chaddock).

• Pentagon Tries to Pretend that it’s Engaged in “Harmless Activities” in Syria by Vladimir Platov from New Eastern Outlook.

• Conspiracy Theories Are Caused By Government Secrecy by Australian Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog. My reaction: She writes: "All the fixation on the way unregulated speech on the internet has contributed to the circulation of conspiracy theories conveniently ignores the real cause of those theories: government secrecy." I would go further: If government agencies and their collaborators in media corporations did not intentionally lie about their actions, there would be no need for conspiracy theories. It is secrecy, censorship of independent media, and deception that necessitates the appearance of conspiracy theories. Clearly, more Americans than ever before are mistrustful about information released from government sources and media corporations. There is a distinct feeling that they've been lied to so much in the past: the assassinations of JFK, ML King, RK, Malcolm X, the Vietnam War, 9/11, War on Terror, etc.

• 💥Opening the CIA’s Can of Worms by Edward Curtin from Off-Guardian. This is a best post. I've read widely on, and carefully followed, the CIA for a long time, and they represent the active arm of the Deep State that long ago decided to build an empire that rules the world.
  

• NATO’s Road To Perdition With Ukraine, an editorial from Strategic Culture Foundation.
  

• When America Voted Out Fascism: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog.

• The New Normal requires a NEW Response by Catte Black and Vanessa Beeley from Off-Guardian (based in Britain). (Note: You will to know what PTB means--the Powers that Be--I hate such references to the ruling capitalist classes. "Elites", "the rich", "billionaires", or "oligarchies" aren't much better.) My reaction: People are beginning to get impatient with their governments' management of this pandemic.

• The “pandemic” modelling cabal have a serious conflict of interest by Rosemary Frei, MSc, from The Wall Will Fall (Vanessa Beeley's weblog).

• Farmers’ Protest in India – Price of Failure Will Be immense by Colin Todhunter (an independent blogger who has lived a number of years in India) from Off-Guardian (based in Britain).
  

• Climate-Change Summary featuring Prof. (retired) Guy McPherson (via YouTube) summarizing the science which indicates abrupt climate change (via YouTube).
