Posts that I especially recommend for Thursday, December 9, 2021

• Q&A #4: The Coming Crisis? by Geert Vanden Bossche from Voice For Science and Solidarity. My reaction: Now that Robert Kennedy, Jr. has thoroughly exposed Fauci as committed to his own stocks in Big Pharma; if you need specific advice regarding Covid-19 and its variants, you should follow Bossche's website among others that are qualified and are not compromised by owning stocks in pharmaceutical corporations.

• How the Covid Crisis Affects Academia: Universities Become Compliant Institutions with No Room for Critical and Independent Thought by Prof. Anthony J. Hall from Global Research.
  

• Operation Extermination--the Plan to Decimate the Human Immune System with a Lab-Generated Pathogen by Mike Whitney from The Unz Review. My reaction: I don't have the expertise to know whether these experts are right, but it fits with my view that our ruling capitalist classes are perfectly capable of doing the most evil deeds to save themselves. The latter refers to the abrupt climate destabilization that many scientists are concerned about, but are not given sufficient voice by media corporations.

• Pfizer, Big Pharma Ramp Up Lobbying to Sink Law Aimed at Protecting Whistleblowers by Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D. from Children's Health Defense. 

• The opioid crisis in America is getting worse featuring a person reporting about the opioid "pandemic" which you don't hear about thanks to the ruling class's media corporations--from RT's channel on YouTube (00:59). 

• Can Media Be Independent if It Accepts US Funding? by Joe Lauria from Consortium News. My reaction: This sounds like a rhetorical question.
  

• Mind your wokeism: 40% of Hispanic voters offended by gender-neutral ‘Latinx’, a cynical take on "wokeism" from RT's channel on YouTube (00:46).
  

• A Christmas Tale: The Downing Street Party, Laughter And Bigger State Crimes by DC (David Cromwell), editor of Media Lens (a British website). My reaction: This post reveals the cynicism of members of the former British Empire and now a component of the existing de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire.

• What Putin really told Biden by Pepe Escobar from Asia Times (Singapore). (Note: You might be also interested in a post by Finian Cunningham.) My reaction: This take on Putin's statements by Escobar, who I believe is the world's top journalist, is based on previously made statements by Putin, the Russian government, and consistent with reports in Russian media. On the other hand, Biden's statements are based on previously made statements via the ruling class's US government and media. Contrast US reports via major media with China's Global Times report on the conversation.
  

• NATO spreading anti-Russian misinformation among Ukrainian officials by Lucas Leiroz from BRICS.
  

• US Hegemony Doesn’t Make The World More Peaceful, It Makes It More Dangerous 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: What Johnstone doesn't understand is that the ruling capitalist class has taken over the ruling class since WWII to ensure that the world is dominated by the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire. This is explained by my essay, and supporting links, written in May of 2020 and more recently supported by a professor of history, Stephen Wertheim, in his book Tomorrow the World, published by Harvard University Press. There are considerable reasons to think that his voice is that of the US ruling capitalist class confessing that an imperialist cabal took over the ruling class beginning in 1940.

• The American Prison System’s War on Reading by Alex Skopic from Protean. 

• Talking “Peace” US Arms Saudis for Latest Attack on Yemen’s People: Operation Golden Bow by Ahmed Abdulkareem from Mint Press News.

• Paedophilic Blackmail: The Dirt Ghislaine Maxwell Has On Powerful People by Arjun Walia from The Pulse. My reaction: I like her question, "Reflect On: How can there ever be a proper investigation into such powerful people when they have so much control over all aspects of life?"
  

• BAR Book Forum: Jennifer S. Ponce de León’s “Another Aesthetics Is Possible” by Roberto Sirvent, BAR Book Forum Editor, from Black Agenda Report.
  

• Does the Deepening Crisis in Turkey Manifest an End to the Erdogan Era? by Vladimir Odintsov from New Eastern Outlook.

• Hotel Rwanda hero convicted on 'terrorism' charges from the channel of Journeyman Pictures on YouTube (10:05).

• Science Update: Arctic Snow Transitions to Rain featuring the views and analysis of Prof. (retired) Guy McPherson, an independent scientist (via his YouTube channel (11:31), who has fearlessly focused his attention throughout his career on the climate crisis.
