Posts that I especially recommend for Tuesday, October 19, 2021

There had been major speculation by corporate media in the fall of 2019 when the Fed launched these emergency repo loans as to which financial institutions might be in trouble. One would have thought that the same corporate media would have been anxious to learn the names of the banks that borrowed and share the breaking news with their readers. Imagine our surprise when the story was censored by every major business media outlet.

On Friday, we emailed the business editors of the Wall Street Journal and New York Times, asking why they would fail to publish such an important story. We gave them more than 48 hours to respond. There was no response.

Powell’s deceitful performance was after all picked up and parroted as “irrefutable” proof about Saddam Hussein’s WMD operations by the very same mass media institutions which tell us we must ramp up aggressions against other foreign governments on equally insubstantial claims today. But it’s hard to dispute that his greatest lasting legacy will be his immortal reminder to future generations that there is never, ever a valid reason to trust anything US officials tell us about a government they wish to bring down. [my emphasis]

Powell’s other contributions to the world include covering up and participating in war crimes in Vietnam, facilitating atrocities in Central America, and destroying Iraqi civilian infrastructure in the Gulf War. But it’s hard to dispute that his greatest lasting legacy will be his immortal reminder to future generations that there is never, ever a valid reason to trust anything US officials tell us about a government they wish to bring down.
It might of course be that whoever briefed the officials who talked to the Financial Times has exaggerated the Chinese intent and its capabilities.

Such talks of 'missile gaps' and of purported super weapons an adversary allegedly has is useful when one wants Congress to cough up more money for weapons development.

The FT report may well have been part of such a campaign.

Colonialism’s legacy is a contributing factor to a wide range of issues, from conflict to corruption, and to the poor state of electricity access across much of Africa today.

While industrializing nations in the 1900s were building electricity grids through massive public spending campaigns, like Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal in the United States and the Electricity Supply Act of 1926 in the U.K., most of Africa was being actively pilfered of its rich natural resources. Much of the infrastructure built in colonial Africa during that time was built only to facilitate resource extraction operations, such as mined commodities, oil, timber, rubber, tea, coffee and spices.
 
The following post is selected by Brad Fredricks (and his reactions, commentaries, etc.) for this website:
Countering the propaganda of vaccines working, the death of Collin Powell comes amidst the growing awareness by the global population that not only do the vaccines not work, but neither do the lockdowns and various other restrictions and mandates placed upon societies.

The Elites, who have bought governments and "experts" providing guidance, are attempting to make money with yet another bad story coming out of the big pharma industry.

Those calling for forced vaccines, and those claiming the unvaccinated are a risk to society are sorely out of touch with the reality. Covid Vaccines will not solve any of our social issues. We cannot buy our way into being healthy, and our governments gave massively failed advice potentially as a result of putting greed, and profits before people and our planet.

Bravo, Powell's death will hopefully mark the beginning of a mass awakening in America. Do not trust governments that have been taken over by corporations.
