We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

A year and a half after the arrival of Virus, some may have started wondering why the usually unscrupulous ruling elites decided to freeze the global profit-making machine [capitalism] in the face of a pathogen that targets almost exclusively the unproductive (over 80s). Why all the humanitarian zeal? Cui bono? Only those who are unfamiliar with the wondrous adventures of GloboCap can delude themselves into thinking that the system chose to shut down out of compassion. Let us be clear from the start: the big predators of oil, arms, and vaccines could not care less about humanity. [my insertion]
Unz, a writer who promotes old-fashioned capitalism, labeled by neoconservatives as paleoconservatism, argues that Kennedy's book The Real Anthony Fauci has reopened a controversy that raged in the 1990s set off by Prof. Luc Montagnier, the medical researcher who won a Nobel Prize for discovering the HIV virus in 1984. Unz writes: “Tragically for humanity, there are many, many untruths emanating from Fauci and his minions. RFK Jr. exposes the decades of lies.” Kennedy also included names like Kary Mullis, the renowned creator of the revolutionary PCR test, and Prof. Peter H. Duesberg. 
 
One of the major scientific heroes in Kennedy’s account is Prof. Peter H. Duesberg of Berkeley. During the 1970s and 1980s, Duesberg had been widely regarded as among the world’s foremost virologists, elected to the prestigious National Academy of Sciences at age 50, making him one of its youngest members in history.
 
Unz goes on to report in this article:
 
In 1996 he published Inventing the AIDS Virus, a massive 712 page volume setting forth his case, with the Foreword provided by Nobel Laureate Kary Mullis, the renowned inventor of PCR technology and himself another leading public critic of the HIV/AIDS hypothesis. Duesberg even underscored the confidence of his HIV skepticism by offering to be injected with HIV-tainted blood.

But rather than openly debate such a strong scientific opponent, Fauci and his allies blacklisted Duesberg from receiving any government funding, thereby wrecking his research career, while also vilifying him and pressuring others to do the same.
  
According to Unz, other attacks on Duesberg followed.
 
This article reports on the fakery behind the current ruling class's promotion of the Democratic Party and their "woke" policies which pretend to show how minorities like homosexuals and African-Americans have been discriminated against by old-fashioned conservatives, the former capitalist ruling class, which was replaced by neoconservatives (right-wing Jews or Zionists) like Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Dick Cheney, etc., who arose in the government during the Reagan administration and promoted the new ideology of neoliberalism. This ideology formed a basis for the new transnational capitalism which has morphed into the thoroughly corrupt ruling class in which the latter chose the Democratic Party as an instrument to further their agenda as we see today. 
 
However, this is a ruse to further confuse and divide Americans while the ruling capitalist class installs foreign military bases, engages in subversive activities to overthrow governments they don't like, and wages wars in order to construct their world Empire. Meanwhile, they continue to make half-hearted attempts to cope with the climate crisis which will increase in the near future.
  • Ghislaine Maxwell Is Guilty by Dan Adler from Vanity Fair. My reaction: The fact that this was reported in Vanity Fair is significant. Only the rich ruling class read this magazine because VF report on matters that affect them. (Note: If you have limited time, Ben Swann also reports and comments on this from Sovren--03:11.)
