- 13,000 Deaths, Nearly 600,000 Adverse Events Reported After COVID Vaccines, as Debate Heats Up Over Boosters by Megan Redshaw from Children's Health Defense.
- The People vs. Medical Tyranny? Resistance on a Global Scale Grows Against Mandatory Vaccinations, Health Pass Requirements and Face Masks by Patrick Guzman from Silent Crow News.
- RFK, Jr. to Journalists: Report the Truth About COVID Vaccine Risks, Injuries and Deaths by Children's Health Defense Team. My reaction: Kennedy is wrong in his assumption that we, in the USA, enjoy a "democratic society. Capitalism promotes a ruling class of ever- diminishing class of owners and expanding class of workers to serve the latter for more wealth and power.
- Vaccination: They’re Becoming Desperate by Dave, an independent Irish blogger, from his weblog Computing Forever via Bitchute.
- The System Is Rigged For Endless War: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Australian Caitlin Johnstone with her American husband also reading the script (but you may miss supporting examples, illustrations, etc.)--from her weblog.
- More Americans now say government should take steps to restrict false information online than in 2018 by Amy Mitchell and Mason Walker from Pew Research Center. My reaction: I'm not surprised by the finding of Pew that about 1/2 of Americans believe that censorship is okay. If fact I think it is too low from my observations of people in my area of southern Minnesota. It is a measure of the gullibility or the susceptibility of Americans to ongoing fear propaganda. However, I also think this gullibility has peaked, and its all downhill for the fear propagandists from now on. This observation is not based on data, but my own gut-feeling.
- Twitter Enables People To Censor EACH OTHER!! featuring Jimmy Dore of the Jimmy Dore Show with Ron Placone interjecting comments (via his YouTube channel--11:01m) reporting and commenting on the latest Tweeter change. My reaction: Dore and Placone use "liberals" in the contemporary sense--meaning propaganda centered around the first 10 amendments of the Bill of Rights amendments of the US Constitution in order to get the existing states to pass the new constitution designed by the slave-owning Founding Fathers which they proceeded to ignore. This meaning is in contrast to the classical meaning, as advocated by the early capitalists in Europe and America, that was a rationale for capitalist ideology. The term "liberal" is still used today by various serious people, but it is often used by agents of propaganda to confuse people when they mean capitalism because the use of the term "liberal" (or its derivatives like "neoliberal") is nicer sounding than capitalism (or some other word--imperialism for example).
- Is Facebook's Smart City The Return Of The Company Town? featuring Naomi Karavani using the channel of Redacted Tonight on YouTube (09:37m) to ridicule Googles' plans to construct a "smart city" (in San Jose) with satirical parody.
- Mainstream Media Is a Tool of Hypnosis. The Revolution Will Not be Televised by Megan Sherman from Global Research.
In liberal theory, news journalism is a check and balance on the ruling class, but in practice institutions and presses that once held power to account have become part of unaccountable power, and only tough reform and a revolution in the political economy of news can reverse the damage.
We entertain the illusion of bipartisanship in the media when both left and right media, both broadsheet and tabloid, are subsumed under the management of cartel conglomerates that dictate op-ed policy and therein modulate the national psyche.
All such "checks" were dispensed with as media corporations became owned and concentrated in a few capitalist hands.
- New sense of security | Taliban members urge locals to return to normal life from the channel of RT via YouTube. My reaction: Although it remains to be seen, I know that the Taliban are Afghans but I think that their leadership has changed a bit from previous decades.
- Afghanistan: Answering Kit Knightly’s “6 Questions” by Andrew Korybko from Off-Guardian.
- HSBC is the 800-pound Gorilla in the Canadian Courtroom that No One is Talking About—the Judicial Incubus Weighing on Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou’s Shoulders by Jeff J. Brown from CovertAction Magazine. (Note: This is a rather lengthy article; but because the author currently lives and works in China, he offers inside information.)
- News on China in 2 Minutes by Dongsheng News from Dissident Voice.
- Pollinators, the 4 Biggest Threats They Face, and Why You Should Care by Jayne Rising from The Organic Prepper. My reaction: Nothing more illustrates the conflict between capitalism and the web of nature than reports of the decline of pollinators. Agricultural capitalists, like any other capitalists, are in search of short-term profits and thus spray their crops with pesticides--they don't care if they're hazardous for pollinators or humans--in order to produce more and enjoy more profits (and, in some instances, more power to influence and reduce government regulations).
