- CDC “Pivoting its language” on vaccination status by Kit Knightly from Off-Guardian.
- Award-Winning Journalist Sharyl Attkisson: Propagandists Have ‘Overplayed Their Hand’ by David Charbonneau, Ph.D., from Children's Health Defense.
Former CBS journalist Sharyl Attkisson in an interview last week said mainstream media’s shift from investigative journalism toward a corporate-sponsored, “fact check” mindset originated with left-wing activists seeking to discredit conservative news outlets.
That shift has had a major impact on news coverage of the pandemic, Attkisson said.
That shift has had a major impact on news coverage of the pandemic, Attkisson said.
My reaction: Attkisson's assertion that "left-wing activists" were partly responsible for the shift in "news" presentations is wrong because such activists were trying to correct right-wing propaganda. The whole political spectrum has shifted to the right as the ruling capitalist class has become more desperate to control information in order to retain power. This class has always limited their control of information, but now it's getting worse.

- OSHA Withdraws Workplace Vaccine Mandate After Facing Lethal Blow by U.S. Supreme Court by Megan Redshaw from Children's Health Defense. My reaction: My interpretation of this ruling is that the conservative Supreme Court declared on narrow grounds that the states have a right to pass laws nullifying the Bill of Rights contained in the Constitution.
- Graphika: The Deep State’s Beard for Controlling the Information Age by Alan Macleod, PhD from Mint Press News. My reaction: Macleod's sub-headline is "Semi-state actors play a very important role in today’s online landscape and in the 1970s, Graphika employees would likely have been working directly for the CIA.", and this is relevant given the fact of the ruling class's penchant (def.) to privatize every economic activity, that is, put everything under the control of the Deep State via their private ownership and control and away from government "interference" and accountability. Graphica has received a bulk of its funding from DARPA (Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), the CIA, and other "intelligence" services.
- Revolution, Awakening, And Leaving Abusive Relationships All Happen In Unexpected Ways 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.
Humans are storytelling creatures; that’s why it’s possible to gain such a tremendous amount of power over us by controlling our stories. We are storytelling creatures whose primate brains weren’t evolved for the purpose of giving us any absolute understanding of ultimate reality, whose senses only take in a tiny fraction of our surroundings, whose minds don’t process what’s happening in the ways science tells us things are actually happening.
