Posts that I especially recommend for Tuesday, September 28, 2021

  • Spartacus by "Spartacus" from The Automatic Earth. (Note: I thank a west-coast activist for sending me this post--RH.) Commentary by Brad Fredricks follows:
Sensational, well thought out, and symbolic. For those that do not know, or want to skip reading this thorough and informative article, Spartacus was a Thracian gladiator who was an escaped slave leader in the Third Servile War, a major slave uprising against the Roman Republic, and the Oligarchs.

A fitting title for a well authored piece that goes out of its way to connect the absolutely sensational yet plausible dots of the COVID-19 pandemic. Interestingly, they did not miss a beat on the arrest of Harvard Professor, and human brain interface nanotech researcher, Charles Lieber.

All points have been referenced, and imagining it is true, this heady review connects the dots to a narrative of deceit, subterfuge and ill-intents of the ruling class.
 
The key takeaway, be it sensational or not ... question the motives and narratives society is being served worldwide.
  • "This Is Completely Avoidable" - New York Hospitals Prepare For Staffing Crisis As Vaccination Mandate Forces Mass Firings by Tyler Durden from his weblog ZeroHedge. My reaction: When I was recently in New York state above NY City, I was surprised by the casual attitude of various receptionists at the abundant historical sites in an area that exudes wealth of the rich. They didn't take their orders seriously, that is, they didn't enforce the requirement to wear face masks. They just posted signs that said so. Otherwise, they didn't enforce the wearing of masks and I was able to tour a number of historical places. But I was forced to wear a mask at a store selling toll-road passes in a place near Chicago.
  • 💥Stepping Out of the Shadow of 9/11: Start by Ending the Post-9/11 States of Emergency by Aaron Good, Ben Howard and Peter Dale Scott from CovertAction Magazine. This is a best post among the category of best posts--it is essential reading. My reaction: This gives you, the younger generation, a partial list of events that I have lived through one-half of my adult life. This essential historical information is a recovery of past events that the ruling class has too often hidden from your view and that of the general public.
Ben Howard: ... while many well-educated and well-read Americans may acknowledge that the official story of a deep event like, say, 9/11 is “something of a whitewash,”[1] bourgeois norms typically prevent these people from delving too deeply into that which is being whitewashed. These deep events point to the conclusion that the world we live in is often ruled by dark and occulted forces which escape accountability thanks to state secrecy, media manipulation, and the powerful psychological forces of repression, denial, and dissociation. But to acknowledge the implications of this conclusion for our nominal democracy is to situate oneself outside of acceptable discourse. It is clear, therefore, that to develop a proper understanding of the nature of the American politico-economic system, we must transcend this “acceptable discourse.” Our present understanding of America’s history and politics, manipulated as it is by ruling class interests, cannot serve us.

It is necessary, then, to develop a popular “common sense” counter-narrative which, through unflinching analysis of the role of class power and elite self-interest in our society, is able to capture and convey the true significance of these deep events.
  • US War Plans with China Taking Shape by Brian Berletic, an ex-Marine living with his family in Thailand because he could no longer tolerate the all-encompassing lies coming from US sources, from New Eastern Outlook.
  • How Is The CIA Still A Thing? by Australian Caitlin Johnstone with her American husband, Tim Foley, also reading the script (but you may miss supporting examples, illustrations, etc.)--from her weblog. My reaction: I've wondered about this most of my life.
  • How the Media Brainwashes You by Starté Butone from Anti-War. Note: I don't take a position whether the USA should have entered WWII. Because if we take into consideration that WWII merely substituted one German fascism for another led by the US/Anglo/Zionist fascist Empire, we would be confused by the debate. I consider this an obscure argument for wiser folks than I. My reaction: I apologize to those of you that consider this piece obvious, but there are millions of Americans who don't realize they have been duped throughout their lives.
In the land of the free, every citizen is guaranteed to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Sadly, however, this guarantee is often suspended for many folks who rot in jail for years waiting to prove their innocence. Because he’s yet to [be] proven guilty, Marvin Guy is innocent until proven so. And for the last 7 years, he’s been innocent, in jail, with no trial. [my insertion]
  • Left wins in German election — why? featuring Rick Sanchez and Mollye Barrows reporting on a clip from Rich Sanchez news report via his RT channel on YouTube (03:17m). My reaction: This is another indication that the important European section of the Empire is disintegrating.
Insiders at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have alleged dozens of violations of the agency’s “scientific integrity” policy over the last few years, including complaints of political interference and tampering with chemical risk assessments, but nearly all the complaints have been ignored, according to an analysis conducted by a nonprofit group representing EPA employees.
