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.

Posts that I especially recommend for Wednesday, February 9, 2022

This is a denial of the facts. As we shall see, the jabs did not receive "full approval/authorization" and there is no evidence that they are either safe or effective. They are also unquestionably experimental.

Since it is a fact checker cited by Twitter, and is based in the UK, we will focus upon the claims made by Full Fact. These are more or less the same as those made by Lead Stories, RMIT, ABC, Reuters and other fact checkers.

Full Fact states, as fact, that the jabs are not experimental. Insisting upon the factuality of this claim, it asserts in consequence that the Nuremberg Code is irrelevant with respect to the vaccine passports. So let's examine these supposed facts.
  • How Fact Checking Is Controlled and Faked featuring investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson addressing her information in a one hour video from Mercola, a weblog by Dr. Joseph Mercola. (Note: However, if you haven't enough time to listen to this video, you may be satisfied with a summary contained below the video.)
  • Fauci’s Mismanagement of the Covid Pandemic by Stuart Bramhall from her weblog on Substack. (Note: Bramhall is a psychiatrist practicing her specialty in New Zealand. She was originally from Seattle and fled to New Zealand after experiencing extreme, racist, FBI harassment mainly (in my opinion) because she had intimate relations with African-Americans in the Seattle area). My reaction: The best part of this article is her description of Robert Kennedy, Jr.'s book into five books or parts. I think that the widespread corruption of data prevents the analysis of Fauci's handling of the Covid pandemic in the USA. But, I also think that Fauci is totally corrupt.
Few figures have benefited as much from the pandemic as Bill Gates. Throughout 2020, legacy media described the former Microsoft CEO and Harvard dropout in near-messianic terms, characterizing him as a “champion of science-backed solutions,” and “the most interesting man in the world.”

While the global 99% has seen its economic power eviscerated under the weight of lockdowns and other Covid restrictions, Gates has doubled his wealth since a pandemic was declared in March 2020 by the World Health Organization that counts him as a top funder. Having boasted that his investments in vaccines routinely generated financial gains exceeding 2000 percent, Gates now has the opportunity to turn the entire global population into a profit center.
  • 💥Post-Woke #17: The System Ain’t Broken, It’s Fixed (for the benefit of capitalists, and miscellaneous abusers) by Mickey Z., a New York City activist, from his weblog on Substack. (Note: This post is only audio, but it is a very important post particularly the first 21:21 minutes of it.)
We are no longer free.

We are living in a world carefully crafted to resemble a representative democracy, but it’s an illusion.

We think we have the freedom to elect our leaders, but we’re only allowed to participate in the reassurance ritual of voting. There can be no true electoral choice or real representation when we’re limited in our options to one of two candidates culled from two parties that both march in lockstep with the Deep State and answer to an oligarchic elite.
  • The Real Crime Wave featuring Naomi Karavani who sarcastically explores what's really happening behind the supposed "crime wave" narrative--from Redacted Tonight's channel on YouTube (07:17).
  • Dem SuperPAC Behind Rogan Smear Campaign featuring Jimmy Dore with guest Kurt Metzger, a comedian mostly interjecting some satirical comments, and a number of other clips of people--from Dore's channel on YouTube (26:59).
The Establishment: like a circle in a circle, like a wheel within a wheel. If you read this together with my initial article on how the Establishment functions, you will have had two doses of effective vaccine against the lies of the mainstream media.

I have often noticed that ordinary people like you and I manage, in general, to live our entire lives with no connection of friendship to paedophiles at all. Yet the powerful are always finding they are connected to Janners, Epsteins, Saviles, Smiths, Mountbattens etc entirely by accident. It is of course all nothing but accident, bad luck and coincidence. To wonder if it might be otherwise is to be a mad proto-Fascist conspiracy theorist, apparently. 
The China-Russia policy to oppose the attempted United States hegemony rests on a soft power alternative, the strengthening of both the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation [SCO] and the Belt and Road Initiative [BRI]. The SCO has recently welcomed Iran as a full member, making it the ninth member State along with China, India, Russia and the five “stans” of Pakistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. There are in addition three observer states and six dialogue Partners, of which the most important is Turkey in terms of population and economic and political power.

The BRI has a far broader reach, with currently more than 140 members, region extensively into Africa and Latin America. The association is historically unique. It reaches more countries than any western alliance, military or otherwise. It poses a threat to United States dominance never seen before and as such represents a major threat to that dominance. Its very success explains a lot of United States hostility toward China, which for the first time since at least the end of World War II faces a serious challenge to its assumed hegemony.

The big difference between the BRI and the United States system is that the BRI makes no attempt to dictate the internal policies of its members. It sees the United Nations as the governing body for international relations. The United Nations is accordingly awarded prime status, as Putin’s article makes abundantly clear.
The appalling decision by the External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar to huddle together with his QUAD colleagues bang in the middle of the Beijing Winter Olympics may have unpleasant consequences. China sees QUAD as a US-led clique working to “contain” it. 

An action-reaction syndrome has once again developed. Beijing’s apparent retaliation by picking the Galwan hero as the Olympic torchbearer was not the end of the story. Delhi swiftly crossed over to the US-led group to boycott the Beijing Olympics. Some protestors in Delhi also set the Chinese national flag on fire. [the first one was my link]
