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 Saturday, April 16, 2022

Goal: Our newsletter aims at providing regular updates on the science and the truth behind the current pandemic. We are dedicated to bringing the real science to the table and sharing how the truth invalidates the current narrative, for which scientific evidence is now increasingly lacking. We’ll provide an update on a (semi-)weekly basis, on Mondays and/or Fridays. We sincerely hope this newsletter will contribute to raising awareness about the consequences of human intervention in this pandemic, particularly of mass vaccination, from both an individual and public health perspective. 
Appearing on MSNBC Wednesday, Anthony Fauci let the truth about lockdowns slip… that they are theatre designed to scare people into getting vaccinated.

When asked by host Andrea Mitchell about the unfolding lockdown hellscape in China, Fauci actually praised the Communist government’s actions.

Fauci stated “China has a number of problems, two of which are that the complete lockdown, which was their approach, a strictest lockdown you’d never be able to implement in the United States. Although that prevents the spread of infection, I remember early on they were saying, and I think accurately, they were doing better than anyone else.”

Then came the kicker as Fauci declared “You use lockdowns to get people vaccinated so that when you open up, you won’t have a surge of infections.” [my emphasis]
  • sometimes? by Mickey Z. from his weblog on Substack. (Note: This post is a very brief statement.)
  • Dr Vernon Coleman: “The Great Reset is frighteningly close to the terrible conclusion we’ve been dreading” features Dr. Coleman in a video (38:54) from The Exposé, a British website. My reaction: He often relates his most hard-hitting criticisms to communism. This I think is a product of brainwashing from many years of propaganda that he could not escape, but I also suspect that Stalin's long reign had much to do with it. Because there is nothing of the reign of Stalin that reflects the ideologies of the founders of communism--Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky. Because this topic is related to absolute control by the manipulation of people's minds, Coleman's remarks most likely refer to high-tech fascism that the transnational ruling capitalist class has adopted in their de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire.
My name is Jeremy Brown. I am a 20 year US Army Special Forces Master Sergeant that served this nation honorably. In October of 1992, I swore to an Almighty God that I would protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies, Foreign and Domestic; This Constitution that codifies the Rights that God granted us at birth. I have upheld the Oath as a Ranger, Green Beret, Fire Fighter, Citizen, Business Owner, Coach, US Congressional Candidate and now as a Prisoner of War.
... how did this proxy war come about? In order to understand that we have to look at the U.S. imperial grand strategy. Here we have to go back to 1991 when the Soviet Union dissolved or even further to the 1980s. There are two prongs to this imperial grand strategy, one as geopolitical expansion and positioning, including the enlargement of NATO ....
  • 💥Will Europe Replace the Middle East as America’s Arena for Future Conflicts? by Elijah J. Magnier from an unknown source and re-posted on Internationalist 360°. Let us hope and pray that he is not right about the conflict in Europe. Unfortunately, his record of integrity and journalism ensures that he is right, but you can never tell about humans and their propensity to be deceived by their own ruling classes using their vast material rewards accumulated for more than a half-century of compliance. Without regard for the climate crisis that is on the horizon, the conflict in Ukraine is really a final test for humans and their durability.
As Russian forces and Donbass militias continue advancing amid the special operation in Ukraine, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson vowed more military aid for Kiev’s troops, saying it would include sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles as well as anti-tank missiles and high-grade military equipment worth around £100 million ($130 million).
A special military operation by Russian troops has yielded additional information on US military and biological activities in Ukraine, confirming numerous violations of the Biological Weapons Convention.

Taking advantage of existing gaps in international law and the lack of a clear verification mechanism, the US administration has consistently built up its military-biological capabilities in various regions of the world.

The Russian Federation has made continuous efforts to establish a BTWC verification mechanism, but this initiative has been consistently blocked by the collective West, led by the US, since 2001.  [my link inserted in this quote]
The document, titled “On Russia’s concerns in the context of massive supplies of weapons and military equipment to the Kiev regime,” was forwarded to the State Department by the Russian Embassy in Washington, in which Russia accused NATO of trying to “pressure Ukraine to abandon peace negotiations with Russia in order to continue the bloodshed.”

Moscow also warned Washington that US and NATO shipments of the “most sensitive” weapons systems to Ukraine were “adding fuel” to the conflict and could bring “unpredictable consequences.” Russia experts suggested Moscow, which had labeled weapons convoys coming into the country as legitimate military targets but had not thus far attacked them, might be preparing to do so.
  • More Escalations In Online Censorship by Australian Caitlin Johnstone with her American husband, Tim Foley, also reading the script (10:09) in the audio section of her article, but you may miss supporting examples, illustrations, etc.)--from her weblog.
Zelensky and his handlers want the whole of Europe to drive over the abyss. But the talented Mr Zelensky is pushing the script beyond acceptable limits when he starts slapping Berlin around.
  • Thierry Meyssan: The Goal of the Ukraine Conflict is to Economically Collapse Europe features an interview with Meyssan, a French intellectual and blogger, conducted by the unnamed interviewer from his Geopolitics & Empire's channel on Odysee (1:08:18). (Note: Because my hearing has limitations and his thick accent, I could not understand much of what he said. However, I know from earlier years when I posted his articles (translated into English), that he has an independent point of view.)
  • Amazon Union Organizer Goes On Tucker & Sh*tlib Brains Explode! features Jimmy Dore showing clips of the entire interview on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News program with Amazon union organizer Christian Smalls --from Dore's channel on YouTube (26:39). Dore's show also includes comments by other members of his show. My reaction: Mainly comedians are only allowed to express dissent on major media platforms, but they are doing a superb job by heaping ridicule on mainstream politicians and their policies! That way the ruling class can take credit for free speech and limit it from serious dissenters. For my mental health, I think I will attend his show when it comes anywhere near southern Minnesota.
  • Wait… Did They Just Admit That? features Russell Brand, a British comedian and former drug addict turned serious political critic--from his channel on YouTube (12:44). My reaction: Brand states at 4:58 and other places that one needs to exercise a "great deal of discernment" if you follow mainstream media sources. I say that mainstream media is designed to reflect the views that the ruling capitalist class wants you to think about current various issues, but not the real news.
