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.

To sum up, the history of the AFT has been steered, time after time, by agents of Rockefeller philanthropies, the Trilateral Commission, UNESCO, and Big Tech corporations such as IBM. From behaviorist pedagogy for ed-tech; to public-private partnerships through virtual charter schools; to cradle-to-career curriculums for workforce-placement pathways; all the way to pay-for-success impact financing for Social Credit—the AFT has been steadily singing to the same tune as its corporate-globalist handlers at the Rockefeller philanthropies, the Trilateral Commission, UNESCO, and IBM.
 
If you were perplexed by the fact that the AFT lobbied the CDC to encumber its back-to-school guidelines with tighter COVID restrictions, which perpetuate distance learning curriculums facilitated through public-private contracts with Big Tech corporations, it might make more sense now. It seems more than just plausible that the American Federation of Teachers has ulterior motives rooted in the AFT’s long history of colluding with Rockefeller corporatists, Trilateral oligarchs, UNESCO globalists, and IBM technocrats in order to bring about what is now known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

A team of over 1,000 lawyers and over 10,000 medical experts led by Dr. Reiner Fuellmich have begun legal proceedings against the CDC, WHO & the Davos Group for crimes against humanity. Fuellmich and his team present the faulty PCR test and the order for doctors to label any comorbidity death as a Covid death as fraud. The PCR test was never designed to detect pathogens and is 100% faulty at 35 cycles. All the PCR tests overseen by the CDC are set at 37 to 45 cycles. The CDC admits that any tests over 28 cycles are not admissible for a positive reliable result. This alone invalidates over 90% of the alleged covid cases / ”infections” tracked by the use of this faulty test.

Later on the lawyers write:
 
No person should be forced to take a medical experiment without informed consent. Many media, political and non-medical persons are telling people to take the shot. They offer no information as to the adverse effects or dangers of this gene-therapy. All you hear from them is – “ safe and effective” and “ benefits outweigh the risks.” Countries are using lockdowns, duress and threats to force people to take this vaccine or be prohibited to participate in free society under the mandate of a Vaccine Passport or Green Pass. During the Nuremberg trials, even the media was prosecuted and members were put to death for lying to the public, along with many of the doctors and Nazis found guilty of Crimes Against Humanity.
Governments, the mainstream media, multi-national corporations especially the pharmaceutical industry, social engineering cheerleaders such as Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the rest of the so called “global rulers” are determined to vaccinate the entire planet, yet I remain quite optimistic of my fellow human beings who desire the freedom of choice when it comes to their health.  The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO) and other health governing institutions around the world who are pushing Covid-19 vaccines has lost credibility since they declared a worldwide pandemic back in 2020.
 
The world knows that Big Pharma is in the business of making profits over health no matter what the outcome is.
  • How to Meet Like-Minded People – #SolutionsWatch featuring James Corbett (26:27m) from his website reporting via Odysee on the various resources for people who oppose the mandated vaccinations that the authoritarians are pushing, and want to connect with like-minded people. My reaction: I part company with Corbett because he is limited in his views which are supportive of old-fashioned capitalism. Other than that, I support his proposals to work against the more recent capitalist ruling classes that are aggressively wanting to take control of the whole world--and starting with us.
  • 💥Interview: As Western Hegemony Declines, U.S. Attempts to Recreate Arab Spring in Asia (55:26m via YouTube) posted by Brian Berletic, an American ex-Marine living in Thailand, on his weblog Land Destroyer Report (I can't access The New Atlas). (Note: Berletic in this wide-ranging in-depth interview starts off the interview summarizing his biography. I have posted his articles for many years. He is not a socialist (meaning public ownership and control of the economy) and he is a product of American culture, but he is honest.)
As ever with language used by the powerful, reality is being inverted. The intention is to deceive – themselves as well as us. There is nothing long term or altruistic about this new cult. It is simply a rebranding of Gordon Gekko’s mantra “Greed is good”, even when that greed has been outed as suicidal.
 
And finally:

The reality is that we can save our species – assuming it can be saved at all at this late stage – only by radically transforming our societies: by ending inequality, by criminalising greed, by dispossessing billionaires, by nationalising corporations, by making economies and political systems far more localised, by introducing real democratic accountability, by abolishing the corporate media, by funding critical thinking in our education system, and much else. [my emphasis]

These are the minimal and urgent preconditions for our species to adapt to a future in which we do not experience runaway global heating. And yet they are voiced nowhere in our political or media discourses. And for that we have the billionaires, and their bunker and space colony fantasies, to thank.

This colossus sits atop the pyramid of world corporate ownership, including in China most recently. Since 1988 the company has put itself in a position to de facto control the Federal Reserve, most Wall Street mega-banks, including Goldman Sachs, the Davos World Economic Forum Great Reset, the Biden Administration and, if left unchecked, the economic future of our world. BlackRock is the epitome of what Mussolini called Corporatism, where an unelected corporate elite dictates top down to the population.
  • The Soviet Union Is Gone, but the Young Yearn for Socialism by Richard M. Ebeling from the American Institute for Economic Research. (Note: I post this article only to criticize it because it represents a summary of all the capitalist propaganda and indoctrination that has occurred in capitalist countries since the 1917 socialist revolution in Russia.) My commentary follows:
Because I was conscious of the propaganda and indoctrination I received in schools and media, throughout my life I read widely about the 1917 Russian Revolution and any related articles to this event. It is clear from my experience that the capitalist ruling classes of the West were vehemently and viscerally opposed to this first attempt to bring out a socialist revolution. Real history--not the revised history since 1917 that you have learned--bears this out. 
 
If you have not followed this website for long, I strongly recommend the writings of historian Jacques R. Pauwels to get an accurate picture of this revolution and how the capitalist nations went about fighting it since its first attempt to bring about socialism. Both capitalism and real socialism (not much of the fabricated kind of the capitalist versions) have fundamental differences which has determined much of history since then. It's vital that you learn its true history.
The exclusionary ideology is being turned-in upon itself. Turned-in, within western societies, and not just outwards, towards the West’s foreign adversaries. Now, it is key segments of domestic society that are being morally shamed and exiled from full participation in their societies.
 
Because this writer has been indoctrinated in capitalist ideology, you must substitute the "exclusionary ideology" with capitalist ideology. And, whenever you see "the West" or "Western nations" referred to, the writer means thoroughly capitalist nations as opposed to mixed economies of Russia and China.
It is clear that the declared “enemy” in this “War on Terror,” is not what we were led to believe, and increasingly, it is beginning to look like the enemy may in fact be, anyone who resists this global agenda.
 
And what is the "global agenda" of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire? My answer: Total capitalist domination/control of the world.
  • Epstein & Gates - Harmless Pals Or Accomplices? featuring Russel Brand, a British comedian turned into a critic of media, using his channel on YouTube (13:17m) to satirize and criticize censorship, government apparent opposition, and coverup of corporate media coverage regarding the Epstein scandal.

Officially, Taiwan is not a country. Not even Washington recognizes it as one. To illustrate this, for example, the US does not have an embassy in Taiwan. Instead it has what it calls the “American Institute in Taiwan.” This game of officially recognising the “One China” policy where Taiwan is recognised as part of a single China, while “unofficially” undermining the policy through de facto embassies, arms deals and America’s latest tip-toeing toward diplomatic relations with and recognition of Taiwan’s politicians, reveals the true source of tensions between Taiwan and the mainland.

Talks publicly available through the National Committee on US-China Relations feature US policymakers and politicians openly boasting about this two-faced approach to Beijing and the undermining of mainland-Taiwan relations.
 
Thus the “Taiwan question” is a pawn used by Washington for advancing US foreign policy objectives and in particular regard to encircling and containing China. Little to no regard at all is given to what is actually best for Taiwan.
 
The above paragraphs say so much about the US government (the integration of corporate American and the government has already happened) using all entities as pawns in a game of global dominance. This strategy is the game that the rich and powerful cabal of the capitalist ruling class decided to play in 1941. Remember how they actually admired Nazi Germany and their fascist government? Remember the essence of fascism is the power of the owners of private enterprises and their related financial institutions to control a nation through its government? Of course you don't because you have been fed different stories by all institutions of our society (education and entertainment). After WWII your parents and grandparents, mostly suffering from exhaustion due to the war effort, were too busy working raising their families so that you, or their children, might "get ahead" (climb the socioeconomic class system that really exists) that they didn't notice these erroneous stories. The few who did notice were easily eliminated from participating in the economy during the McCarthy period shortly after the war. 

Simultaneous to this history is the rise of socialist ideas the source of which was represented by the Soviet Union. I know that your parents and grandparents were subject to thorough indoctrination so that they came to believe such socialist ideas as equivalent to evil. Later on, the ruling class decided to redefine socialism as capitalism with a rather generous welfare state (social democracy) which the present generations of Americans have been taught. But "communism" remained totally evil, and our enemies were all the movements and nations where some kind of real socialism (elimination of private ownership of the economy) was advocated or practiced.
 
However, much of the rest of the world didn't want to play this game which favored the rich and powerful in what they recognized as a de-facto US/Anglo Empire immediately after the war, and later to become a US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. (Read this for a further explanation.)

To make a long story short, the point I would like to make is the history of the post-WWII story has been played by the ruling capitalist class through their Empire as they would play any game: the use of any pieces that contribute to the winning of their game of world dominance. Thus, the game being played in Taiwan is described in this article. But, it isn't really a game. The ruling class (remember this billionaire class is in control of our government and all other institutions) fails to recognize the welfare of the Taiwanese people. The US ruling class, and its alliance with other capitalist classes throughout the Empire, regard the game as only serving themselves of more power and wealth but not give a damn of the welfare of others. Could it be that we, ordinary Americans, are being played according to the same strategy by our capitalist masters in the ruling class?
  • Wikileaks Julian Assange and Free Press Setback by Ron Ridnour from Strategic Culture Foundation. My reaction: But what if most people don't know about his role in exposing US war crimes? This is something like asking "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there, does it still make a sound?" This question poses the importance of organizing a real, independent journalist network like I started to work on a few years ago. But this is not possible because our ruling class masters would not tolerate it. The latter have already diminished its possibility because of ongoing censorship of real events, and the false counter- narratives that we enjoy a free press as well as other freedoms.
  • You Need To Understand That The/ US Is The Most Tyrannical Regime On Earth by Australian Caitlin Johnstone with her American husband also reading the script (but you may miss supporting examples, illustrations, etc.)--from her weblog. My reaction: They are both unaware of the obsessive drive to control and dominate the world is, and has been since WWII, a prime motivation of what they do presently. They have, thus far, attained control over a major part of the world that is a de-facto US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. Do you think the ruling capitalist class are going to quit this objective? I think not. The billionaire members of this class are the ultimate "control freaks".
  • WWII America’s historical myths featuring Chris Hedges interviewing Danny Sjursen, Retired US Army Major, author and historian from Hedges' RT channel on YouTube. My reaction: I consider the source (Sjursen) of this interview as only revealing a military history of WWII, but it is important as an illustration of a mythical history as only scratching the surface we are taught in our schools to grossly distort reality. The history of this event (and events related to this subject) as taught by Canadian historian Jacques R. Pauwels is the very best, in my opinion.
  • Code Red: How can we prevent climate catastrophe? by Martin Empson from Climate & Capitalism. My reaction: I look all over the article to find the answer to this question. It seems that the author only implies the answer: a revolutionary change of basic systems to one of socialism. I think it is too late for that. But I wish for that to happen in order to partially redeem the human species for the ultimate sin of self-extinction.

  • The Propaganda War (Part II) by CJ Hopkins, who is a wise satirical comedian in an age when satire is dead, from his weblog Consent Factory, Inc. (Note: Hopkins, an American blogger, is currently living in Berlin, Germany.) My reaction: He writes about the need for people to grow up (def.):
That is what the column you are reading is … an attempt to influence people’s opinions. Of course, that isn’t all it is. Nothing is ever only one thing. But it is absolutely propaganda. And so is everything else that you will read today.

I’m terribly sorry if this comes as a shock, but there is no “objective” fantasy-land in which no one is trying to persuade you of anything or pressure you or otherwise influence you to do something. It does not exist, this “objective” dreamworld, where “authoritative sources” report “the facts,” where “the facts” are “verified” by “neutral” “fact checkers,” where ex-NSA and CIA spooks are hired as commentators by MSNBC and CNN because they care about “the truth,” where “science” is immune to manipulation. This fantasy is the alibi of authoritarians, cult leaders, and assorted other control freaks, and the people they have brainwashed into believing in it.
  • Citing Corrupt Think Tanks For News Reports Is Blatant Propaganda by Australian Caitlin Johnstone with her American husband also reading the script (but you may miss supporting examples, illustrations, etc.)--from her weblog. My reaction: It appears that this deceptive propaganda is more powerful in Australia than the USA, and Australia is an integral part of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. It is not shocking, but expected when the cabal of fascist (advanced capitalists) instigators within the British Empire and their counterparts in the USA have so consolidated their control over every institution in every year since WWII (75 years).
Mark Horvath is the founder and director of InvisiblePeople.tv. The non-profit organization was built to highlight the plight of people living on the streets in the US. Horvath had experienced homelessness and held a career in the TV industry in Los Angeles before the 2008 economic collapse. In the months after the crisis began he started taking a camera to interview people without homes. Lee Camp and Horvath discuss the story of Horvath's project, the causes and experience of homelessness, an upcoming movie on homelessness from InvisiblePeople.tv.... [inserted my link]
 
The homeless are people fast becoming that target of billionaire government institutions. They are invisible people because they have no influence on how our government is run. These people are the "useless eaters" (those who do not contribute to the profits of major corporations) that the billionaire governments of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire want to get rid of.
  • American coup d'etat (part 2) featuring Chris Hedges interviewing Dennis Kusinich, a politician who tried to succeed in a billionaire-managed electoral system, from his RT channel (25:19m). See how his attempts to serve the people belie the ubiquitous (def.) propaganda of our ruling capitalist masters that we are a democratic society.
    Dennis Kucinich served as a U.S representative from Ohio from 1997 to 2013, losing his seat after the state Democratic Party machine redrew Ohio’s 10th Congressional district, a redistricting designed expressly to oust him, although he is a Democrat, from his seat, which is what happened. He was also the 53rd mayor of Cleveland. As mayor he took on the entrenched power of the big banks and business interests, along with the mob, which controlled City Hall.

  • After 20 years, Pentagon still lacks control over hired guns by David Isenberg from Responsible Statecraft. My reaction: This is further evidence that the ruling capitalist class has gone further down the road to fascism, indeed, if it has not already reached its inherent goal of updated fascism. The latter is the integration of capitalist entities with the government, but using different primary methods: capitalist ruling classes now use their control over all institutions in which they added, and emphasized, the use of sophisticated techniques of indoctrination and propaganda. It doesn't mean that they have dispensed entirely with more brutal methods to obtain compliance with their edicts, but the emphasis is with the new techniques in order to divide the population.
The US Army just conducted a three-day exercise in collaboration with the New York City Police and Fire Department. The exercise simulated a nuclear and biological event on the NYC subway system and Yankee Stadium.

Similar drills are scheduled for Philadelphia and Los Angeles in the coming months of September and October.

This raises concerns because the US Military has a track record for conducting experiments on the population using deadly pathogens without the population’s knowledge or consent.

Right now there is no proof that anything nefarious is taking place. But if history has taught us anything, it’s that government exercises and drills provide the perfect the cover to conduct covert and illegal operations. The same sort of cover a declared pandemic provides.
  • There Is No Will To Fight Climate Change by Bernhard, a German independent blogger, from his weblog Moon of Alabama.

  • U.S. media serves Washington's imperial ambitions by Danny Haiphong, a US writer and journalist, from CGTN (China's mainstream news outlet). My reaction: Haiphong has pointed out in his article that the government is now so wedded with corporations--not only with media corporations--that the government represents a dream of all fascists since Mussolini: major capitalists now have control over every institution that exists in the USA and throughout much of its de-facto US/Anglo/Zionist Empire, and some international agencies like the WHO; and they're using this control to manipulate the "reality" of their citizens in support of their aspirations for global dominance.
On Sunday, Virginia Giuffre, now 38, who lives in Australia with her husband and three children, filed a civil lawsuit against Prince Andrew.

The woman testified that, against her will, she was “trafficked out” by the late financier and convicted pedophile to have sex with the British royal three times in 2001, while she was 17. Giuffre is now seeking “accountability” from her purported abuser and is demanding compensation for physical and mental damage.

Weglarz attempts to explain, using his own personal life experience, this phenomenon as indoctrination and propaganda by "oligarchies" (rich people) and "authorities". Even if we explain that the "authorities" fear the oligarchs because the latter hold authority over their careers does not explain this phenomenon, but it leads to an explanation. It is my firm conviction that the system, a capitalist system, upon which the "oligarchies" depend on for their wealth and power, is the underlying cause for nearly all of the problems of inequality, social justice issues, and wars from the 20th century until now. (I laid out this argument in this post.) 
 
Apparently, the oligarchies, and their employed authorities, have been so successful at creating "realities" that Weglarz hasn't yet attained consciousness of this system that makes inevitable nearly all the problems which we currently face. As the capitalist class inevitably concentrates control (and wealth) in ever diminishing hands, they have created most of the crises which we fear will end us all as a human species. Nevertheless, he goes a long way to explain how most of the American population is so gullible.
One of the filters in the Propaganda Model propounded by professors Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky is stoking a fear of communism.1 The establishment’s anti-communism has never abated in the United States. The elitists require a populace fearful of communism to protect their own misbegotten wealth accumulation. Thus,the bugaboo of communism must be opposed wherever it arises.

Although US politicial (sic) figures try to convince the rest of the world that those are merely “research centers” where American specialists help local scientists develop ways to combat dangerous diseases, Washington carefully supresses (sic) any information about what is actually taking place inside those military facilities. Elected officials of the above-mentioned have no real idea what goes on inside behind closed doors. The US centers deployed across those countries and the research facility at Fort Detrick’s military base, where Pentagon lab-coats have been working on weaponizng (sic) biology for decades are one and the same. 
 
A few paragraphs later Platov writes:
 
The fact that the US has never stopped producing biological weapons, contrary to all international conventions, is no secret. And this is confirmed: there is the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA in the Pentagon, which is engaged in developing and implementing the most advanced technologies in the military sphere. And it has a biotechnology department that does just that. The US Defense Department admits that their technology is dual-use. However, under US law, certain types of experiments are prohibited in the United States due to the threat they pose to the local population. This means that they are held abroad, including in the former Soviet Union area. 
 
My reaction: Could it be that our masters in the ruling class have always seen the benefits of biological warfare (and they used biowarfare in the Korean War but they always denied it)? This arrangement suits them perfectly--they can deny the development of biowarfare weapons while working to develop them in labs abroad.
Unz brings us up-to-date on the issue of biowarfare long stifled by our ruling class. This post lends support to my contention that our ruling class is so amoral that they are capable of doing anything, including the murder of their own mothers, to achieve greater wealth and, especially, power. They are the ultimate control freaks!
 
You might find evidence that Unz is anti-Semitic in such clauses as the following: "... his Jewish tormenters (sic) drew upon their almost unlimited funding to hire an army of researchers who spent a year or more subjecting Irving’s vast corpus of writings to line-by-line and footnote-by-footnote scrutiny, ...." This is not accidental. I've found numerous examples in his writing where he uses the generic word "Jews", instead of Zionist Jews or right-wing Jews, in a negative way. But this quirk of his does not lessen the importance of this article or especially Thomas's book entitled Baseless.

  • 💥Top Democrats Unite With Christian Far Right to Bash China [part one of four three] by Alex Rubinstein from his weblog at Substack. This is a best post. (Note: I couldn't find anywhere in the article when this conference was confined in Washington, D.C.  I had to look up the actual conference of the "2021 International Religious Freedom Summit" to find out when it was held--July 13th, 14th, and 15th of 2021.) My reaction: You likely didn't learn of this conference from watching TV newscasts from media corporations. This article, and presumably the series, serves as an illustration of many insights. First, it is an illustration of the hypocritical propaganda that is daily spread throughout the USA by media corporations to create "reality" for ordinary Americans and people throughout the de-facto US/Anglo, Zionist Empire. It is another illustration of the evil of our masters in the Deep State, an informal board of directors of the ruling capitalist classes of the Empire. It is also an illustration that justifies my arguments that they are the root of most of the evil that exists in today's world because of their addiction to profits and power (read my posts: this (commentary only) and this).
How could such prominent Democrats agree to speak at a conference sponsored mainly by individuals and organizations they are supposed to be the antithesis of? How could the leading champion of humanitarian interventionism in the Obama Administration, Samantha Power, or Anthony Blinken for that matter, feel comfortable participating in a conference alongside anti-gay and alleged insurrectionist legislators, the kind of characters that they may have otherwise used to justify US intervention had they belonged to another country's legislative body? It was a question that I kept asking myself throughout the affair, but I quickly learned that the beat of the war drums against China was loud and that it drowned out all other issues.

The event was a rare, unvarnished glimpse into the moral hypocrisy of Democratic Party leaders, showcasing their willingness to ally with those they claim to otherwise oppose ostensibly in the name of protecting "religious freedom," a concept which these ruling class factions can't even agree on a common definition of — even if ultimately it was all just cover for advancing an imperial agenda against a rising superpower.  
Nearly 1,800 family members, survivors, and first responders who were affected by the September 11 attacks are intensifying pressure on the federal government to declassify information that they believe points to Saudi leaders' involvement in or support for the attacks, with the group calling on President Joe Biden to stay away from next month's 20th anniversary memorial events unless he releases the documents first.
 
The family members and survivors say PENTTBOM, the FBI's investigation that wrapped up in 2016, uncovered support provided by Saudi officials for the attackers.

On July 28, CNN reported that Pfizer, one of the primary issuers of the coronavirus vaccine, indicated that they believed that a third vaccine dose would be beneficial. For context, two doses are considered a full vaccination. Pfizer cited its own data, which have yet to be peer-reviewed, stating that a third dose increases the number of antibodies in the recipient’s system. Of course, that begs the question, if you really want to supercharge your immune system, with this sort of logic, why not take four? Or heck, get one every two weeks!

In all seriousness, and I’m not saying this because I got the Moderna vaccine, but this seems to be a slick attempt at leveraging the hysteria and fear that has been so embedded in every inch of society regarding Covid-19 for profit.
Imagine a country where there’s no separation between the government, the military, and the media. A lot of Americans would think of China, Russia or North Korea, but it’s a perfect description of the United States today. And here in Washington, the think tank inside this nondescript building – Center For A New American Security (CNAS) – is the clearest example of just that.

CNAS is a premier militarist think tank in the nation’s capital, especially for Democratic Party administrations. It is funded by the State Department and Pentagon and has taken more money from weapons companies over the last several years than any other think tank. On top of that, it’s funded by oil companies, big banks, and right wing governments – basically the most destructive forces on the planet.

(Note: This article reveals the collusion between the spy services in Denmark with the de-facto US/Anglo/Zionist Empire by an independent American journalist currently living in Denmark.) My reaction: The much touted social democrats of Scandinavia by "leftists" in the USA collaborates with the spy services of the Empire proving once again which side they are on. The governments in all these social-democratic nations in Scandinavia serve the Empire because they are part of the capitalist Empire.
ASEAN nations have increasingly turned to Russia and China to meet more traditional national security threats, purchasing military equipment like tanks, warplanes, helicopters, and naval vessels. However, Russia and China – who have successfully defended their own respective information spaces – have the human and technical resources to potentially “export” the means for ASEAN states to defend their information space as well – not only in the form of “information warfare,” but also in the form of helping build local social media alternatives to US-based corporations – breaking the monopoly these foreign corporations hold over ASEAN’s information space, and giving the power to governor and protect it back to the region itself. [I think this last clause contains some kind of typo error--RH]
Capitalism is a roadblock on the path to mitigating this huge crisis for humankind. It will take a global environmental movement that is revolutionary — conscious of the need to eradicate imperialism — to stop the crisis of global warming and climate change.

  • The Panic Pandemic by John Tierney, a former NY Times journalist, from City Journal (CJ), a New York City publication. (Note: I recommend Still Panicking, a 28:25m audio interview with Tierney from the same source.) My reaction: Tierney doesn't question that there was a ruling class conspiracy a la the Great Reset behind the severe restrictions of our liberties, but he refers to some of the censorship of well-qualified experts.
  • The Boiling Frog Effect featuring Dave Cullen, an Irishman, from his channel Computing Forever with Bitchute (23:53m). 
A settlement close to being finalized in a bankruptcy case would provide a shield from civil litigation to the members of the Sackler family who own OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma. The development means that family members will be significantly less likely to be questioned under oath about their role in the marketing of the potent prescription painkiller blamed for fueling a nationwide opioid epidemic.

Despite years of litigation alleging some Sacklers pushed Purdue to aggressively and inappropriately market OxyContin, members of the family successfully avoided most attempts to force them to answer questions about their stewardship of Purdue or the multibillion-dollar fortune they amassed as OxyContin became a bestselling pain medicine.
  • 💥Spy Cops: How UK Police Infiltrated Over 1,000 Political Groups by "Lowkey" interviewing Tom Fowler of Spy Cops (58:18m) from Mint Press News. This is a best post. (Note: The script serves as an introduction.) My reaction: There is much to be learned from this video (and audio) in order to prevent infiltrators hired by Deep State government agencies from corrupting protest organizations.
The new MintPress podcast, “The Watchdog,” hosted by British-Iraqi hip-hop artist Lowkey, closely examines organizations about which it is in the public interest to know — including intelligence, lobby and special-interest groups influencing policies that infringe on free speech and target dissent. The Watchdog goes against the grain by casting a light on stories largely ignored by the mainstream, corporate media.

Since the 1960s, the U.K. police have been charged with surveilling and infiltrating some 1,000 political, environmental or social justice organizations. Much of this involved undercover work. As part of their false personas, many officers entered romantic relationships with activists, leading to the births of a number of children whose mothers were completely unaware of their partners’ double lives. More than 20 women have come forward to claim they were “raped by the state” in such a way.
 
Today, The Watchdog is talking to Tom Fowler about the so-called “Spycops” scandal in the United Kingdom.
  • New World Next Week with James Evan Pilato from Corbett's website via audio and visual videos (22:55m). (Note: This article brings us up-to-date on the introduction of digital money as mostly described by central banks of the de-facto US/Anglo/Zionist Empire, and other topics.)
  • Richard Trumka 1949–2021 by Jerry White from World Socialist Web Site. My reaction: With friends like this, who can trust labor leaders?
  • Red Menace # ? Joseph McCarthy 2.0 by Philip A Farruggio from Global Research. (Note: This is essentially a book review reporting on the classic and horrible McCarthy period entitled A Conspiracy so Immense by David Oshinsky which is missing from your schooling. It is not dissimilar to the present time when corporate media spreads fear and corresponding government threats to enforce restrictions among the US population regarding the Covid pandemic if they do not get vaccinated.)
What many do not understand about Sen. McCarthy was that he was not the first or the only force in this movement to uncover this ‘Red Menace’.

In 1950, state and local governments actually competed to see who would ‘crack down hardest’ on this Communist threat.

What I am about to repeat from Oshinsky’s book is not satire or any sort of humor… though it can be construed as such.
  • Western Media Sleuths PROBABLY Show Dangerous Symptoms by Phil Butler from New Eastern Outlook. My reaction: Butler engages in ridicule of an article published by The Guardian which is appropriate given that similar Western publications are prime sources of propaganda to create "realities" in the minds of their obedient subjects.

Has the flu and the majority of colds been eradicated from society because of mask wearing and social distancing as the so called experts contend or is it more plausible that every case of the sniffles for the past year and a half have been wrongfully diagnosed as Covid-19(84)? Are the current PCR tests reliable and what does the FDA, WHO and CDC say about its use today and in the near future? In this video [18:03m] Dan Dicks of Press For Truth covers the latest controversial announcement from the CDC which states that the “CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses”. Dan also proves that the “fact checkers” can simply not be trusted. [my insertion]
In the global war on national and individual sovereignty — for which COVID-19 has been serving as the unlawful casus belli — two tactics long favored by tyrants have been deployed by government officials and mainstream media to utmost effect, successfully distracting many citizens from the increasingly aggressive attacks on their civil and human rights and livelihoods.

The first tactic — the sophisticated mobilization of appeals to fear — has steered many individuals into unquestioning compliance with harsh public health authoritarianism. The second — the promotion of divide-and-conquer theatrics — has been instrumental in helping build public support for coercion, including vaccine mandates.

After a brief summer respite, fear-mongering is once again in full swing, with headlines screaming about a “highly contagious mutant version of the coronavirus” (dubbed the “delta variant”) and yet another seeming rise in “cases.” 
Imagine a country where there’s no separation between the government, the military, and the media. A lot of Americans would think of China, Russia or North Korea, but it’s a perfect description of the United States today. And here in Washington, the think tank inside this nondescript building – Center For A New American Security (CNAS) – is the clearest example of just that.

CNAS is a premier militarist think tank in the nation’s capital, especially for Democratic Party administrations. It is funded by the State Department and Pentagon and has taken more money from weapons companies over the last several years than any other think tank. On top of that, it’s funded by oil companies, big banks, and right wing governments – basically the most destructive forces on the planet.
With ominous music in the background, young people are asking, “What can businesses do to help fight the climate crisis?” before adding, “I’ve got a few ideas…” Kids from around the world, variously earnest, funny, hip and cute, chip in with their concerns and their suggestions. We finally cut to an idyllic lake scene, with a young man diving off a boat, and we are left feeling reassured that everything will be ok after all, because: “108 businesses have accepted the challenge, The Climate Pledge, Paris, 10 years early, Paid for by Amazon, co-founder of the Climate Pledge.”
 
He introduces Christiana Figueres, former UN Climate Chief and now Head of Global Optimism (I kid you not), who reassures us that all of this is “science driven.”
  • 💥Arctic Apocalypse featuring Patrick Hogan, an earth scientist; Mark Anderson, CEO of Strategic News Service; asking questions of Peter Wadhams, introduced as one of the world's leading polar scientists--from the YouTube channel of Facing Future (31:51m). This is a best post. My reaction: I can't understand why Wadhams appears to be much of the time smiling and even chuckling over his dire answers. I guess it is better to laugh than to cry over a major disaster facing all life on Earth, including humans, and not in the distant future.

  • The Big Syria Lie Falls Apart EVEN MORE! featuring Lee Camp from his channel Redacted Tonight on YouTube (06:00m) protesting and defending corporate media in a "tongue in cheek" (def.) style in contrast to solid evidence reported by UN and other independent agencies. It is clear (once again) that corporate media has for many years been "messing with our minds" with their 24/7, Syrian "poison-gate" propaganda. 
Colombia is the first supplier of cocaine to the United States, every year it beats its own record as a producer of the narcotic, and this fact is closely linked to two aspects in which its coincidence with Israel is absolute: war as a permanent mechanism of an elite to exercise supremacy and the paramilitarization of this mechanism.

However, in the area of drug trafficking, which today is vital to the capitalist economy, the two imperial enclaves are not similar. In this “division of labor” they do not play the same role because Colombia provides the raw material while Israel provides the weapons and genocidal strategies to protect production.
Some of their scenarios have up to 50% of primary energy coming from fossil fuels by 2050! Others rely on technologies not yet deployed at scale, such as BECCS, for 20% of energy by 2050. The scenarios are a veritable show bag of technocratic dreaming, gas expansion and assumptions about economic growth unconcerned by material resource limits.

NZ2050 also lacks short-term ambition. Despite the growing enthusiasm for this seemingly positive development, a global stocktake of net zero plans finds 80% fail to meet a minimum set of robustness criteria and lack substance and short-term ambition, leading to greenwashing and marketing deception, says Ketan Joshi, writing for Renew Economy, and a catastrophic failure to form action that will provide meaningful protection.
... mainstream media rarely point out that climate change is getting worse and even more so due to feedbacks that can amplify extreme weather events and can further speed up how climate change unfolds.
  • Science Update: Shifting the Baseline featuring the views of Prof. (retired) Guy McPherson, an independent scientist (via his YouTube channel--06:31m), who has fearlessly focused his attention throughout his career on the climate crisis.
