- A blueprint for the future—I Dreamed The Pandemic Was Over by Walt Gelles from State of the Nation. My reaction: For those of you who love fantasies rather than reality.
- Fauci Calls Himself High Priest of Science featuring comedy in the form of parody by Jimmy Dore from his channel on YouTube (03:38). My reaction: I guess it's better to laugh than to cry over the ruling class's claim that it is only following "science".
- Biden Supports Vaccine IP Waiver, Admin Does Something Else featuring Naomi Karavani using Redacted Tonight's channel on YouTube (03:37). (This video illustrates how Biden will casually lie to the American public.) My reaction: Big Pharma über alles. Big Pharma is the Biden administration, and both are controlled by the ruling capitalist class. Any government official is expected to lie when it's in the interest of this ruling class.

- Clearview AI To Get Patent; Scans All Social Media Faces reporting on Clearview Corp. court action in Britain and the US, where it is nearing approval from the patent office, to show the face pictures of everyone--from RT America's channel on YouTube (08:57). (Note: You can also read the report on Politico's website.)
Clearview AI is facing a $23 million fine over facial recognition in the UK. A move that comes after multiple reports accuse the company of widespread---and sometimes unsanctioned use of facial recognition software around the world. This, as Clearview has gotten the green light on a federal patent for its facial recognition technology. A move, sparking major controversy. RT America’s Trinity Chavez has details. Then, investigative journalist and co-host of Boom Bust Ben Swann joins In Question to discuss.
- Tanking to War by Brian Cloughly from Strategic Culture Foundation.
But it is unlikely that Washington will agree to any action that would reduce tension, because confrontation is the name of its game. The western military alliance is convinced — or says it is convinced — that Russia is going to invade Ukraine, and takes no account of reality, because it would, to put it bluntly, be economic suicide for Russia to do anything of the sort.
Make no mistake : if Russia wanted to invade Ukraine it could do so in a heartbeat and, as determined by several analyses conducted in western military academies, but never made public ....

- US announces boycott of Beijing Winter Olympics by Peter Symonds from World Socialist Web Site. (Note: You may also like Brics' take on the boycott decision.)
Less than a month after US President Joe Biden held his first formal summit with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, the US has announced a provocative diplomatic boycott of the Winter Olympics, due to open in Beijing in February. [my emphasis]
- History of World War II: How “General Winter” Did Not Save the Soviet Union in 1941 by historian Dr. Jacques Pauwels from Global Research. My reaction: There has been so much re-writing of history about WWII that you won't understand events since WWII if you don't read the history of that event by Pauwels. I have read widely about WWII from original sources, and I've found recently that Pauwels is the best historian covering that hugely important event.
- Eighty Years of Lies: President Franklin Roosevelt Told Public Pearl Harbor Was A Surprise Attack—However There Is Considerable Evidence Demonstrating Government Foreknowledge by Jeremy Kuzmarov from CovertAction Magazine.
- How Congress Loots the Treasury for the Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex by Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies from Dissident Voice.
Let’s make no mistake about this: Congress’s choice to keep investing in a massive, ineffective and absurdly expensive war machine has nothing to do with “national security” as most people understand it, or “defense” as the dictionary defines it.
U.S. society does face critical threats to our security, including the climate crisis, systemic racism, erosion of voting rights, gun violence, grave inequalities and the corporate hijacking of political power. But one problem we fortunately do not have is the threat of attack or invasion by a rampant global aggressor or, in fact, by any other country at all.

However, you won't understand this current problem unless you read real history from the 1930s onward. I have summarized this for you in this post. But, if you don't believe me--and you shouldn't--read history has written by Dr. Jacques Pauwels and the recently published Tomorrow, the World by Stephen Wertheim which confirms the rise of a fascist cabal in the US, although rather favorably.
