Posts that I especially recommend for Wednesday, May 5, 2021 (abbreviated)

• This Biden Proposal Could Make the US a “Digital Dictatorship” by Whitney Webb from her weblog Unlimited Hangout. (Note: A caption summarizing the article reads this: "A 'new' proposal by the Biden administration to create a health-focused federal agency modeled after DARPA is not what it appears to be. Promoted as a way to 'end cancer' this resuscitated “health DARPA” conceals a dangerous agenda.")

• 💥Humanity Does Not Need Bill Gates by Rob Larson & Nathan J. Robinson from Current Affairs. This is a best post. My commentary follows: 

This is a comprehensive and lengthy article on one citizen's efforts to become rich and powerful (influential) under the capitalist system. He is now, arguably in control of the UN's World Health Organization as their top funder. This tells the fascinating story of how to become rich in capitalist USA and become a part of the Empire's ruling class. Here are a few excerpts from the lengthy article:

 

Gates’ ethic was never a collaborative, social one in which a community worked together to improve a collective asset. It was not the mindset of the scientist seeking knowledge. Instead it was antisocial and competitive—the mindset of the capitalist. 

 

But, you say, he deserves accolades, at least a pass, with what he has done in his philanthropy work. The authors write:

 

Well, it’s worth observing that the Foundation operates with what is effectively a large public subsidy. Tim Schwab of the Nation—whose name will recur, since he has produced some [of] the best critical journalism on Gates and the Foundation—says that money is exempt from tax because it belongs to a charity, and has to be seen as “money that otherwise would have gone to the US Treasury to help build bridges, do medical research, or close the funding gap at the IRS (which has resulted in fewer audits of billionaires).” As law professor Ray Madoff said to Schwab: “when they get significant tax benefits, it’s also our money.” 

 

The authors sum up their article with these words:

 

... he is part of a small class of elites who are able to bypass democracy, and does embody many aspects of contemporary society that need to change. The decision of individual billionaires to be useful is better than pure self-regard, but ultimately billionaires should not exist in the first place. Bill Gates is richer than 140 different countries. This is too much concentrated wealth and power and it makes a farce of democracy. The question of how the huge resources of the modern world are used to meet our broad social needs should be decided on democratically, not by the whim of a rich person.

Let Gates jet off into the sunset.

• 💥Glenn Greenwald & Richard Medhurst featuring Greenwald, candidly explaining, to his host Medhurst using Rokfin (to avoid censorship), how he has grown-up politically through his experiences with US journalism, his experience with Edward Snowden, his more recent experience while living in Brazil, and his following reports regarding Wikileaks and Julian Assange. As a result of these experiences, he views journalism as practiced by media corporations as serving "intelligence" services and their employers in the Deep State, the directorate of the ruling capitalist class. He even comments how the Deep State uses "woke" ideology as a weapon. This is a best post. (Note: It is apparent that alternative platforms to YouTube have not thoroughly mastered YouTube technology. The interview starts at about 18:06m and lasts till 125:06m, thus the entire interview lasts about one hour and seven minutes. But, it is well worth listening to the interview!)
  

• 💥Intersectional Torturers from the weblog of Australian Caitlin Johnstone who provides us with an audio and written version. This is a best post. My reaction: This article points to an amoral CIA and its fake use of identity politics ("woke"--def.) to manipulate ordinary Americans to strengthen support for the US capitalist ruling class. 

• Cracks in Northern Ireland? by Kenneth Surin from CounterPunch. (Note: I hesitated to include this article because most Americans are not interested in news and analysis of foreign countries. However I believe Surin's analysis is correct, and Brexit's impact might not be limited to Irish politics. This could be further evidence of the unraveling of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire which includes wavering, critically important Europe.)

• Houthi Advances and Secret Saudi-Iranian Talks Prompt New Conciliatory Tone from Saudis by Ahmed Abdulkareem from Mint Press News (based in Minneapolis).

• Israeli Settler To Steal Homes Of 6 Palestinian Families In Jerusalem Drives Armed Resistance by Robert Inlakesh from The Last American Vagabond.

• We Are Living Through a Time of Fear – Not Just of the Virus, but of Each Other by Jonathan Cook, a top British journalist living in Jerusalem, from Global Research. (Note: This post includes a 10:11m video via YouTube featuring a commentary by Russel Brand, a British counterpart to Jimmy Dore.)
  

• White Hats, Black Hats,…Grey Hats? from the CT [Connecticut] Freedom Alliance Blog.

It doesn’t take long to realize that we aren’t having a debate about the science of vaccines. We aren’t debating the authority of the evidence. We are debating the authority of the person. The most ingenious thing the pharmaceutical industry ever did was purchase the majority of the advertising for every network and cable news program. With that grand gesture, the media became little more than a pharmaceutical industry spokesperson, functioning as its mouthpiece of propaganda. The media doesn’t report “science.”

 

Also, read about the legal victory in Connecticut achieved by the efforts of the Freedom Alliance.

• Canadian Economist Dispels 4 Myths About Socialism by Steve Lalla from Internationalist 360°. My reaction: Although Canadian political economist Radhika Desai said in a recent interview: "While Desai acknowledged that there were problems that led to famines in Russia and China, she added that the severity and mismanagement of the crises were perhaps exaggerated.", she didn't mention the vigorous subversive and military attacks by the leading capitalist nations on any nation that even considers a move to public ownership of their economy or in any way demonstrates independent policies from the predations of capitalist corporations. Also, she omitted the constant anti-socialist propaganda that people in capitalist countries are subject to.

• Interview with Vandana Shiva: Bill Gates and the philantro-imperialism. Posted by Pangea, an Italian channel of YouTube in a 26:37m video. (Note: Shiva explains how billionaires and the largest foundations, established by major corporations, have taken control of the world (or the nations of the Empire and much of the United Nations) through their purchase of patents (intellectual property), and the disastrous effects on ordinary people throughout the planet.)

• “The Lion and the Eagle”: The Interaction of the British and American Empires (1783-1972): A review of Kathleen Burk's book by Jim Miles from Global Research. My reaction: I like to post real history articles because my fellow Americans have been largely fed fake histories in their schooling. Miles corrects some of the mistakes Burk makes to build a sound history of the collaboration of both the British and the American Empires to coalesce in the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire that threatens much of the world today.

• 💥Vaccine Passports and Medical Martial Law by Jesse Smith from his weblog Truth Unmuted. This is a best post.

• Our Digital Gulag on The Last American Vagabond posted on Corbett's website (if you haven't already, listen to the same discussion on this "best post" a few days ago from The Last American Vagabond's website.)
  

• Money Is Made Up And We Can Change The Rules Whenever We Want by Caitlin Johnston, an independent Australian blogger, from her website. 

• Britain’s Secret Political Police by Asa Winstanley from Internationalist 360°. 

• Journalists, Illustrating How They Operate, Yesterday Spread a Significant Lie All Over Twitter by Glenn Greenwald from his weblog in Substack. My commentary follows: 

Although Greenwald lambasts the journalist profession with a "holier than thou" tone, he only lamely examines the reasons why most of the profession has been corrupted. It is the corruption of this profession that is the root of so much ignorance among ordinary Americans about what their ruling class and its government are doing. 

 

The corruption of government is another subject that needs exploring by brave (suicidal) people, and a few are doing this. Many members of the legal profession, of which Greenwald is a member, collude in government with liars in the secret services, corporation execs, and the whole fascist Deep State. Maybe he should stick to his own profession with his lofty principles. It is the story that needs to be reported, but a relatively few people are doing it, and mostly in alternative media. These few courageous people are constantly faced with innumerable difficulties such as begging for funding from the public, lack of resources to do their job, constantly labeled by mainstream journalists as engaging in "conspiracy theories", and under constant attack by ruling class censors posing as "fact-checkers", etc.

 

The major problem is the overwhelming power of the capitalist leviathan that has grown to the fascist monster that it is during the past several hundred years. Oh, it was cute as an infant and few people saw that it had the potential to become the bête noire that it is today. Nowadays, it is in control of an empire, all institutions therein, control of nearly all jobs and careers, and in control of resources, wealth, and power that could only be dreamed about by earlier ruling classes.

• House Hearing Provides a Message to Robinhood Traders: Retail Investors Lose Consistently When They Actively Trade their Own Account by Pam & Russ Martens from their weblog Wall Street on Parade. 

• For Leviathan, it’s so cold in Alaska by Pepe Escobar from "The Saker" weblog. (Note: Escobar, a Brazilian journalist, brings his great geopolitical expertise to focus on two meetings between two top antagonists--the super-aggressive US/Anglo/Zionist Empire versus those nations (Russia-China-Iran alliance) which insist on a multipolar world. You will need to know what he means when he references "the Quad"; also here are the lyrics to Caroline Says II.)
  

• DISCUSS: President Magufuli dead at 61 from Off-Guardian. My reaction: This is what invariably happens to those leaders who oppose the Empire's policies and actions. The leaders don't even have to be from a foreign country. The assassination of the Kennedy brothers demonstrates this.
  

• ‘Independent’ report claiming Uyghur genocide brought to you by sham university, neocon ideologues lobbying to ‘punish’ China by Ajit Singh from The Grayzone. 

• British policy in Syria is a vindictive campaign to crush Syrian/Russian relations by Vanessa Beeley from her weblog The Wall Will Fall. My reaction: Britain is, of course, part of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire, and as such this policy applies to all of the Empire.

• 💥Canadian Doctors Speak Out from "Jacois" via his/her Bitchute channel because it was censored on YouTube.
  

• Halt All Covid-19 Mass Vaccination Immediately (Open Letter to the WHO) — Vaccine Research Expert from Dryburgh. (Note: I am posting this because of an activist who sent it to me.) My reaction: But Bossche doesn't mention any lack of concern regarding mRNA vaccines that all the other immunology specialists have expressed concern about. He seems to regard the current "vaccines" as traditional vaccines.)

• 💥James Corbett Interview – COVID-19 Censorship, Technocracy & The Amazing Country Of Digital Gulag features Ryan Cristián in a discussion lasting nearly an hour and seven minutes with Corbett, a Canadian, regarding Patreon's letter that effectively tries to censor him, problems with Japan's postal system, and the coming digital gulag which will imprison all of us by restricting our communication of information. This is a best post. My reaction: Of course, the digital gulag is powered by the private ownership of communication-technology under the rules of capitalism in contrast to Corbett's arguments that focuses on government authorities. Of course, government authorities are controlled by billionaires in the capitalist ruling class.

• Debunking Virology With Dr. Thomas Cowan, Dr. Andrew Kaufman and Dr. Stefano Scoglio featuring Derrick Broze who listens to the explanations of three specialists about isolation of viruses versus the fairly recent practice of virologist's claim that they claim the isolation of SARS-COV-2 virus which result in Covid-19 illness. This is a 41:26m video discussion posted from EarthNewspaper's channel of Bitchute. (Note: This explanation is not that the disease of Covid-19 doesn't exist, but the development of vaccines to prevent the disease is not valid from a scientific perspective.)
  

• Vaccine Secrets from Children's Health Defense. (Note: A cartoonist's conspiracy theories factual reporting on vaccines in the USA.

• Journalists Start Demanding Substack Censor its Writers: to Bar Critiques of Journalists by Glenn Greenwald from his weblog on Substack. (Note: This is a late posting at around 3:24 PM CT today.) Referring to these journalists working for mostly media corporations, he writes:
  

The reason these little hall monitors do not consider this to be “real reporting” is because they do not care about — except when they venerate — real power centers like security state agencies (CIA/FBI/NSA/DHS) or the Pentagon, Wall Street hedge funds, Silicon Valley monopolies, repressive regimes. They think “reporting” means writing what those agencies and power centers tell them to say, or ruining the reputations of people for saying bad words on 4Chan and expressing prohibited thoughts with Facebook memes and Clubhouse chats. That is all they recognize as journalism; everything else is “harassment” because real reporting makes the lives of elites and people who wield real influence more difficult ....

Such granular levels of information could only be dreamed of by Allen Dulles and the CIA’s disinformation efforts behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. But, today, our digitally-integrated world allows for such dystopian dreams to become a reality. At the same time, it makes exposing these operations that much easier.

On February 19, the Tokyo High Court ordered the government and TEPCO to pay damages of $2.63 million to 43 people who were forced to evacuate from their homes by the Fukushima disaster. The presiding judge called the government’s regulatory inaction “extremely unreasonable.” There are as many as 30 more such suits pending in Japanese courts.

• Militarization of Colombia is a Key Aspect of U.S. Hemispheric Control by Vicente Guevara from Internationalist 360°. My rather brief commentary follows: 

The rich US capitalist ruling class using direct threat of violence supplied by the US military have succeeded in using Columbia as a base to control all of South America. They have done this under the guise of fighting the trafficking of illicit drugs, and, of course, against any violation of human rights. However, their real intentions were to control South America for the benefit of US corporations. 

 

Meanwhile, this self-seeking wealth and power ruling class have used censorship and propaganda to keep out any hint of their real intentions from ordinary Americans who have in the past enjoyed some of the benefits of this control. As long as some of the benefits kept coming for ordinary Americans and they were distracted by all the entertainment that the ruling class supplied to them, they ignored what their government, controlled by capitalists, was doing to the rest of the world. Thus, our masters have depended on the ignorance of their subjects regarding their real intentions. 

 

It is becoming increasingly clear to ordinary Americans that they have been deceived about a number of issues by their masters in the ruling class. Whether a sufficient number of ordinary people wake up to this fact to challenge these policies remains to be seen. A positive outcome requires ordinary Americans to identify with ordinary people, not only Colombians but all people of the world because they have all been targets for exploitation by capitalist ruling classes.

• As the Insurrection Narrative Crumbles, Democrats Cling to it More Desperately Than Ever:  by Glenn Greenwald from his weblog at Substack. My commentary follows: 

In the subtitle Greenwald asks a great question: "If the threat of "armed insurrectionists" and "domestic terrorists" is as great as some claim, why do they have to keep lying and peddling crude media fictions about it?" My answer: Because Congress serves the needs of the capitalist ruling class. It is this function for which they are rewarded by the ruling class in the form of campaign financing so that Congress-people can keep their well-paid jobs and enjoy free medical care. But, this accomplishment is the source of so many other lies: elections matter, the claim of democracy, etc. Our masters are so accustomed to lying that have become chronic liars. They couldn't tell the truth if their lives depended on it.

 

This phenomenon derives from the basic moral principle of capitalism with which you might be familiar: do what you have to do to please our masters in the ruling class (and their authorities and TV "talking heads") so that we can raise our families in security. The ruling class has gotten away with the most outrageous deceptions in the past (9/11, all the assassinations, the "War on Drugs", the "War on Terrorism", their many wars, etc. So why wouldn't the success of these deceptions (and the passive acceptance from most Americans) embolden them further with the grossly exaggerated pandemic and the implementation of the "Great Reset" (I strongly suspect that they are related)?

• Bernays and Propaganda – The Transition to Education and Commerce – Part 4 by Larry Romanoff from "The Saker" weblog. 

By the early 1900s, Lippman and Bernays had learned from experience the methods of creating an extensive, false, and emotionally-provocative imagery and to use this fabricated mythology to control the perceptions and manipulate the opinions and behavior of the population of an entire nation. It had first been done for political purposes during wartime, to create immense racial hatred and push a nation into war, but was clearly just as applicable to political and commercial ambitions. At the same time, the wealthy elite of the nation created the higher echelons of an American educational system that would use essentially the same principles to entrench themselves in perpetuity by maintaining the bewildered herd as a kind of feudal colony of impoverished consumers. Those controlling the banks and large corporations were not content to stop with the educational system when they realised the broader possibilities of influencing the population through a nationwide scale of propaganda disguised as advertising, which led in turn to the creation and rapid development of the American advertising industry based almost entirely on the principles Lippman and Bernays identified. We then had the media, beginning with print and radio but rapidly including the movies and then television, being the vehicles through which this grand plan of population control would be executed.

This post added to yesterday's Dore interview with Blumenthal of The Grayzone suggests that Western-based international news agencies are weapons used by Western governments' intelligence agencies to engage in psychological warfare in various countries.) My commentary follows: 

There are many indications that the CIA, NSA, etc. are engaging in influencing the minds of Americans within this country, and that news reporting is transformed into propaganda to promote capitalist ruling class interests here and abroad. I don't think it is an exaggeration to state that we in America, and many other places in the world, are living in a kind of "Truman Show", a programmed reality that was produced by our masters in the capitalist ruling class. Or, using the concept of Caitlin Johnstone, we are living in a "narrative matrix" to suggest that the ruling class's control of all ideological institutions is producing a fake reality for most of us. They do this by using fake news and propaganda, via their ownership and control of media corporations, that they spread throughout all the other ideological institutions (education, entertainment, etc.) in order to control people's minds, especially within the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. 

 

This practice is the essence of neo-fascism, an updated version of old-fashioned fascism, now used by our contemporary masters in the ruling class in contrast to the classic fascism of German and Italian history (reliance on police terror). To be sure, the latter used elements of fake news and propaganda, but they relied on hard fascist methods because of the underdevelopment of propaganda during their rule. However, whenever the methods of neofascism fail, our contemporary masters don't hesitate to use the police and military forces to put down opposition.

Quite simply, that being so invested, so immersed, in one particular ‘reality’, others’ ‘truths’ then will not – cannot – be heard.

They cannot penetrate the hardened shell of a prevailing narrative bubble, or claim the attention of élites so invested in managing their own version of reality.

• Government Mistakes Provided the Breeding Ground for the Mutant Virus, Which it is Now Using as an Alibi for Its Failures by Patrick Cockburn from CounterPunch. My reaction: Cockburn's observations regarding the poorest areas of Britain produces an argument that the ruling class's government knowingly allowed the coronavirus to mutate and spread among the poor. Because Britain's poorest go without immediate access to quality medical services and that they had to keep working to survive, the ruling class had perfect alibis to cull the poor from their nation. Could the rich directors of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire have engineered this virus in their secret bio-weapon laboratories in order to cull the "useless eaters" from their population? One might suspect so because they are guilty of other social crimes (wars for one) of this magnitude. This suspicion leads one to the insight that the global pandemic is a class war that the Empire's capitalist ruling classes are committed to winning.

• January 6 Was An Inside Job featuring in a 26:03m podcast Abby Martin, Mike Prysner, and Brian Becker, who has made a study of the Jan. 6 incident, discuss why they think it was an "inside job". I suspect that it was a Deep State project carried out by the secret intelligence services to prepare the public (psy-op) for more legislation curbing civil-rights of the general public. But I do not agree with them in their prediction that the "powers that be" will legally go after Trump to the extent of imprisoning him. If you have a special interest in this event, you may be also interested in a piece of investigative journalism entitled "Was Trump Ousted from the Military Chain of Command?" from the same website.

• How Billionaires Transfer Blame to Others by Eric Zuesse from Strategic Culture Foundation. My reaction: Zuesse is always careful to portray the US government as determined by an "aristocracy" of wealth in order to avoid the Marxist expression "ruling class". You see, any hint of Marxism is verboten in the USA.

• Russia Withdraws From Open Skies Treaty After US Departure by Om Marathe from Anti-Empire.
  

• Continuity of Agenda: Trump’s was Obama’s will be Biden’s Asia Strategy by Brian Berletic (an American who lives in Thailand) from his weblog Land Destroyer Report. My reaction: This is so because the Deep State ("Tony Cartalucci" was the pen-name for Berletic) actually determines the policies of the US government, and most especially its foreign policies.

• Evolution of the external debt of developing countries between 2000 and 2019 by Eric Toussaint and Milan Rivié from CADTM (Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate Debt). 

• Indian Farmers on the Frontline Against Global Capitalism by Colin Todhunter (British blogger) from Dissident Voice. 

• US makes aggressive opening move on Russian chessboard by M. K. Bhadrakumar from his weblog Indian Punchline. My reaction: He is convincing in his argument that the USA or by extension, the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire will attempt to use the "divide and conquer" strategy in a move in the dangerous global chess game.

• New Leaks Show How British Spies Infiltrate And Undermine Lebanon's Security Services by Bernhard, a German blogger, from his weblog Moon of Alabama.

• US economic decline and global instability by "Phillyguy" from "The Saker" weblog. (Note: I roughly skimmed this lengthy article for accuracy, and I found no errors.)

• Reimagining the World: Agroecology vs Post-COVID Plunder by Colin Todhunter from Off-Guardian.
  

• Destroying the Web of Life: The Destruction of Earth’s Biodiversity Is Accelerating by Robert J. Burrowes from Global Research.

One species – Homo sapiens – is annihilating life on Earth, driving at least 200 species to extinction each day. In the time it took you to read this article, another species of life on Earth vanished into the fossil record.

My reaction: After researching this subject for more than 40 years, I hold the opinion that it is already too late to save our species; but that to redeem ourselves, we must fight capitalists and their addictions to profits and power by establishing our ownership and control over the economies of the world.

• 2020: The Year the Tree of Liberty Was Torched by John W. Whitehead from The Rutherford Institute. My reaction: 2020 was not the "year the tree of liberty was torched". It has been happening ever since capitalism took over from feudal authorities some several hundred years ago. The bourgeios proponents merely replaced the feudal authorities.
  

We could transform this nation if only Americans would work together to harness the power of their discontent and push back against the government’s overreach, excesses and abuse.

Targeting a capitalist government for this situation is the problem which all anarchists will embrace, but will accomplish nothing. The only solution is revolution, that is, a change from an advanced capitalist system to a democratically empowered socialist system. Anarchists, agorists, libertarians (as practiced in America), etc. have much to learn. But will they learn it in time to avert the impending catastrophes of nuclear war or the destabilization of our climate? Stay tuned and stay informed.

• Socialist Media - The New Rules featuring JP Sears, a comedian doing a parody of YouTube censorship rules. My reaction: I got a chuckle over this, but it is obvious that Sears has been thoroughly indoctrinated in US propaganda that has the socialist/communist countries as the source of all evil. He believes this despite the fact that they are the countries, according to this pervasive propaganda, that are the sworn enemies of US and all capitalist countries. This illustrates the power of propaganda to instill in subjects over all their lives the narratives of their propaganda. You can still be entertained by his satire here.
  

• Dismantling tyranny by Paul Cudenec from Winter Oak (based in Britain). 

• The Cyberpandemic Has Begun: SolarWinds + FireEye – Anything can happen now by Ice Age Farmer (Christian) from his weblog. (Note: I again don't want to spread panic, but this looks real based on articles reported in Newsweek, a major ruling class source.)
  

• How Gulf states became business partners in Israel's occupation by Jonathan Cook from Middle East Eye (based in London). 

• Will This Be the Radicalization of Black Lives Matter? by Ajamu Baraka from Internationalist 360°.
  

• Critical and Revolutionary Theory from Internationalist 360° featuring a 35:00m video appearance (after which is a Q&A to the full 1 hr and 31m--I'm still listening to it) of Gabriel Rockhill, who I consider the best Marxist intellectual in the USA, lecturing on this subject. A best post. (Note: This post is appropriate mostly for advanced students of the subject, and for those who are concerned about mostly post-war subversion of Marxist oriented intellectuals.) My reaction: I especially learned a lot about the history of the subversion of Marxist oriented intellectuals (beginning about 24 minutes into his lecture) or "the policing of the left border of acceptable [Marxist] critique" that especially occurred due to influence of CIA agents in the post-WWII period. I have personally noticed the corruption of "acceptable critique". 

• How NPR Divides and Conquers by David Rovics from CounterPunch.
  

• Brexit Bluster Exposes the Waning of English Power by Patrick Cockburn from CounterPunch. Call for your responses: I don't understand the Brexit issue, and especially it's influence the people of Northern Ireland. If anyone understands the issue in whole or in part, I invite emails responses to Ron, goatmeal36@yahoo.com. Is Cockburn right about his argument that Brexit represents a waning of British power?

• Menacing Methane – An Analysis by Robert Hunziker from CounterPunch. (Note: I listened to Dr. Peter Wadhams' hour and half lecture. However, Hunziker provides a good summary of his lecture in which he cited an immediate warning of a methane burst which will likely have catastrophic consequences for humans. If this article is of interest to you, you might also find this post interesting.) My commentary follows:

Wadhams has trained as a physical scientist who is rather pessimistic about humans solving this problem. However, where I, who has trained as a political sociologist through mostly independent study and experience, differ from him in that he blames the "ignorance" of humans in general for this lack of concern of the threats posed by the climate crisis, whereas I blame primarily the capitalist classes of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire which control all institutions of their societies. 

These capitalists are entirely addicted to their system of capitalism which has delivered to them so much profits and power that now they have created a powerful ruling class and an Empire. Therefore, it is no surprise that this Empire dominates the UN and its climate organization IPCC which he faults for having consistently underestimated the dangers of the climate crisis. It is obvious to me, and I'm joined by increasing others, that capitalism and the health of the planet are in direct opposition to each other.

During this current pandemic declared by the UN's World Health Organization, we see the obvious corruption of the UN agency through Bill Gates' top funding of the organization, but the majority of humans don't see his influence as corruption thanks to capitalist media coverage. Here in the USA the threats posed by the climate crisis is known by "climate change" which suggest a relatively benign threat thanks to the same capitalist media coverage. Wadhams, as a top climate scientist, claims that the threat is imminent.

General note: I was late posting articles today because the internet crashed in my area for several hours this morning. Because of this incident, I didn't complete the list of posts that I consider credible.

• Lockdowns Not Linked With Lower COVID Death Rates, New Study Finds by Jon Miltimore from Foundation for Economic Freedom.

• The Media’s Covid War on the Dakotas by Michael Fumento from American Institute for Economic Research. (Note: After finishing with this article, I think you will find other interesting articles on this website that informs you on the fake aspects of the coronavris pandemic.)
  

• Britain’s Class War on Children by Australian journalist John Pilger from CounterPunch. My only criticism is the title. I know, as any good journalist reports, that he was only reporting about what he knows. But, the British children are not alone. This is true of most of the world's children because the directors of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire have been able to corrupt the UN's health agency (WHO), and have managed to inflict their power on many, if not most, children of the world.

• Corporate-branded activism from Winter Oak (British and mostly anarchist website). (Note: Learn how wealthy people and subversive organizations takeover non-profit progressive organizations in Britain and Europe.) My reaction: I think such agents use their wealth to initially fund and then takeover such organizations worldwide.
  

• A country is entitled to refuse to repay a debt by Eric Toussaint from CADTM (Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate Debt). (Note: If you like this post, you should read another by the same author entitled "Threats over the external debt of Developing Countries".

• The New Norm: Government Lawbreaking from TruePublica, a British website. My reaction: This is an excellent piece of journalism supported by interesting documentation about the British government trying to hide it's dirty secrets from the public. Britain is, of course, a integral part of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire.
  

• Lookout for Karl Marx! by Chuck Churchill from CounterPunch.
  

[Because of censorship and government secrecy, world workers] have suffered many defeats, including perhaps the greatest one: being deprived of the ideas needed to make revolutionary change. And today it seems to be a race between the destructive tendencies of the capitalist system in charge of the world economy with no greater motivation than an endless stream of profits for which it must embrace endless war, environmental destruction, and the continued enslavement of labor. If left unchecked the capitalist mode of production will go on to the detriment and perhaps even the extinction of the human race. [my insertion]

My reaction: But Marx was wrong about one thing: the inevitability of workers to succeed in overcoming the power of capitalists. We, as a human species along with most others, will go extinct because of environmental destruction long before this will happen.

• Fauci Versus Frontline Doctors and Science: Pandemic Malpractice by Joel S. Hirschhorn from The Unz Review.

• Renowned German Scientists Publish A Book Titled “Corona, False Alarm? Facts & Figures” by Arjun Walia from Collective Evolution. 

• Joe Biden’s Coronavirus Task Force Is a Rockefeller, Council on Foreign Relations, Gates Foundation Swamp by Derrick Broze from The Last American Vagabond.
  

• Validity of key studies on origin of coronavirus in doubt; science journals investigating by Carey Gillam from U.S. Right to Know. My commentary follows: 

My personal position is that I think that the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 causing covid-19 illness is a mild and highly contagious disease that was likely created in a US lab, but used by the capitalist transnational ruling class of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire as a prime population reduction method because of their losing battle with global warming. Other benefits include: 1) to enrich the Empire's ruling class by providing them with investments in major pharmaceutical corporations and mandating or urging vaccines; 2) as a means, after their corruption of WHO, UN's World Health Organization, to provide an excuse or cover to extend control over the populations of the Empire. 

I can't prove these propositions yet, but it takes time to unravel the deceits of the transnational capitalist class and all of their psychological operations, and I won't be here (because of advanced age) when this finally happens. I have had considerable experience with these deceptive operations throughout my long lifetime (the Vietnam War, assassinations, War on Drugs, 9/11, War on Terrorism, all the "color revolutions" or subversive efforts to overturn and consolidate their control over nations of the world, etc.), and I am convinced that this pandemic is highly exaggerated by media corporations to serve the various interests (outlined above) of  the Empire's transnational ruling class.

To be sure, covid-19 illness is real, but they engineered this "crisis" by creating a highly contagious, but mild virus and used global media corporations to spread fear of this disease. This pandemic has been blown out of all proportion to the mild threat posed for most populations in rich nations, but the shutting down of economies is devastating for poorer people ("deplorables") and likewise with poorer nations with inadequate health systems. Government authorities, under the control of the Empire's ruling class, interfered with constructive medical efforts to control it. If you think that these criminals are seriously interested in protecting your health and that of the world's populations, I have several bridges to sell you (def.)

• Life Starts from Here. Counteract the “Great Reset” by “Puppet Master Big Banker” by Julian Rose from Global Research. (Note: This is a best post.)

• America 2020: First Comes a Rolling Civil War… by Pepe Escobar from Global Research. (My reaction: I am reminded of the infamous Diebold voting machines that critics pointed out were easily corrupted in past elections. I've never heard since that they have been replaced.)
  

• The Tories against democracy by Aris Roussinos from Unherd (a British based website). My reaction: Because people of the Empire have not been taught real history, they are completely unaware that their capitalist ruling classes have no commitment to democracy. In fact, they see it as threat to their rule, and try to contain it with every means at their disposal.

• GROSS Kamala Harris Iconography Posted By Michael Moore! featuring Jimmy Dore commenting about Moore's latest Tweet (via YouTube). (My reaction: Moore reveals his suck-up-to-power character as illustrated with this Tweet.)

• 'Don't get yourselves caught': How the British state allowed its secret agents to commit crime by Ian Cobain from Middle East Eye (based in London). This is the best of the best posts on my website. My reaction follows:
  

This report is prime reading for anyone who wishes to gain an understanding of how "liberal" or bourgeois (capitalist) democracies work. The latter must have secret agencies operating outside of the law that follow the diktats of the ruling capitalist class. This report only deals with British agencies that during the course of their operations commit crimes. It does not report on other agencies, whose top leaders answer to the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire's Deep State, that are engaged in shady operations which undermine any semblance of democracy such as propaganda activities. If you think that Britain is not an essential part of the Empire, and, as such, has no implications for the rest of the Empire, you likely won't believe it has anything to do with government operations in the USA. Brainwashed others will dismiss it entirely. However, it is essential reading by any US activist or revolutionary organization that aims to be effective. For people involved in the latter, this rare report must be studied.

• The U.S. Did Not Defeat Fascism in WWII, It Discretely Internationalized It by Gabriel Rockhill from CounterPunch. The author provides the post-WWII details after the Deep State, a kind of board of directors for the emerging USA, concluded that 

... it was understood that the best way to construct the fascist international was to do so under liberal cover, meaning through clandestine operations that maintained a liberal façade. While this probably sounds like hyperbole to those whose understanding of history has been formatted by bourgeois social science, which focuses almost exclusively on visible government and the aforementioned liberal cover, the history of the invisible government of the national security apparatus suggests that fascism, far from being defeated in WWII, was successfully internationalized.

• 94 page PDF details Deep State-Media collusion to destroy Trump posted by Alex Christoforou of his 19:34m video interview with Alexander Mercouris. (Note: I have ignored this issue known as "russiagate", because I viewed it as another absurd disinformation distraction from reality. I have barely enough energy and time to follow what I think is reality.)

• Running Out of Time… October Surprise Redux? by Philip Giraldi from Strategic Culture Foundation.  (My reaction: I remember well the reliable reports after Reagan's election in 1980 reporting that the CIA rigged the election for Reagan. Giraldi reports on other possible shenanigans perpetrated by the Deep State that obviously wants Trump removed. But, who cares? Both political parties serve the rich ruling class of capitalists and not ordinary Americans.)

• The Fed Wants the Public to Know It Can Withhold Information Under an Executive Order and Defy Subpoenas from Courts and Congress by Pam and Russ Martens from their weblog Wall Street on Parade.

Capitalism always tends toward the concentration of wealth and power.)

Our frequent guest, Pauline Schneider, will be supplying the voice of Dr. Carana. You can find Carana’s blog at Arctic hyphen news dot blogspot dot com. Dr. Carana posts anonymously about abrupt, irreversible climate change. To preserve her anonymity, we will refer to her as female, Sam, and Dr. Carana.
