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.

  • It’s Happening Again featuring Russell Brand, a British comedian turned serious activist, ranting about CDC redacted pages, Anthony Fauci, and other matters--from Brand's channel on Rumble (12:59).
  • Ukraine - Donetsk and Luhansk, Crimea and Donbas, Alfred de Zayas (English in depth interview) from Potkaars podcast's channel on Odysee (1:09:18--re-posted on Geopolitics and Empire). (Note: Alfred de Zayas, Professor of International Law at the Geneva School of Diplomacy and International Relations, gives us a comprehensive historical background on the conflict that presently occurring in Ukraine. My reaction: I thoroughly agree with Mike Whitney that the Nordstream 2 Pipeline is crucial to the Empire's control of the world. This is what the Ukraine issue is all about--to instill fear in all Europeans that the "Russians are coming!"--to prevent the use of the Nordsteam 2 gas pipeline. I am also of the opinion that the Europeans will reject this fear in favor of much cheaper Russian gas. Biden has already said that if the Russians invade Ukraine, he will only step up the financial sanctions against Russia--as if the Russians care!
When it comes to geopolitical issues, how can we tell what’s really happening? It’s no secret that people have lost trust in legacy media as a result of COVID, and even before COVID. Scientists, doctors and journalists presenting information that calls into question government narratives and measures have been ignored, ridiculed and censored. When it comes to geopolitical issues in the past, we’ve seen the same.
 
War, like COVID, has long been used to serve ulterior motives.
Putin: I appeal to the servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Do not allow neo-Nazis and Bandera supporters to use your children, your wives, and elderly people as human shields. Take power into your own hands. It seems that it will be easier for us to come to an agreement than with this gang of junkies and neo-Nazis, who settled in Kiev and took the entire Ukrainian people hostage.
  • This Changes Everything featuring Russell Brand, a British comedian turned activist, commenting on the Russian invasion of Ukraine--using Brand's channel on YouTube (17:49). My reaction: This commentary is one of the best we can expect from Brand, but he doesn't provide enough context to this invasion which was promoted by the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire's aggression against Russia using Ukraine as a pretext. Furthermore, weren't the Russian population of Donbass subject to daily shelling from the Neo-Nazis in the government of Ukraine? And I remain in doubt about the legitimacy of the fascist regime currently governing Ukraine--it was installed by the subversive practices of the Empire.
  • US’ real strategic color of selfishness, hypocrisy revealed in Ukraine crisis: Global Times editorial from Global Times, which is said by many to represent the Chinese Communist Party. My reaction: The hypocrisy of NATO and its controllers in the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire is pointed out in this article, and which may be learned by people all over the world, that is, if the self-serving propaganda isn't allowed to influence them. The directors of the Empire, out of desperation, are gambling that once again they can fool the people of the world with their propaganda.

  • The Pandemic's Global Impact featuring an interview (59:03) with Michel Chossudovsky, founder and editor of Global Research, conducted by Bonnie Faulkner from her weblog Guns and Butter.
Michel Chossudovsky describes sweeping restrictive measures applied in Quebec, including a generalized curfew; issue of fundamental human rights; destabilization of civil society and economic activity leading in some cases to famine; two different testing procedures for identifying viruses are discussed; CDC and WHO no longer endorse the PCR test; difference between a genetic sequence and a virus; Canadian government funding of massive testing is creating a fiscal crisis; heavy indebtedness due to March 2020 lockdowns; Gates and Soros have patents on tests according to Forbes; complex overlapping alliances of sectors of Russia and China with the WEF; banking industry in China opened to the west via its entry into the WTO; head of China’s CDC, George Fu Gao, part of Event 201 simulation; nature of capitalism in China; composition of the Chinese Communist Party; 1960s Chinese Cultural Revolution; social structure in China based on Confucianism.
  • Movement for a People’s Party Founder Addresses Harassment Allegations featuring Nick Brana, a founder of the People's Party, interviewed by Jimmy Dore, reporting on his experience since he founded the political party--from Dore's channel on YouTube (25:12). My reaction: Brana's experience is very typical of why the ruling capitalist class will not tolerate a third party in our "democracy". I know this from personal experience when I was active with the Peace and Freedom Party in California in the 1980s.
  • This Is A Deeply Ominous Sign featuring Russell Brand, a British comedian turned serious activist critic, commenting on the Emergency Act and Chrystia Freeland, Deputy Prime Minister of Canada--from Brand's channel on YouTube (19:39). My reaction: You may also be interested in Jimmy Dore's take on this subject.
  • Understanding Ukrainian Nazism by Lucas Leiroz, researcher in Social Sciences at the Rural Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and geopolitical consultant--from BRICS. 
  • Twelve Thoughts On Ukraine by Australian Caitlin Johnstone with her American husband, Tim Foley, also reading the script (07:52), but you may miss supporting examples, illustrations, etc.)--from her weblog. 
  • šŸ’„NATO Too Weak to Face Russia: Scott Ritter on Russian Offensive featuring an interview (38:35) with Scott Ritter (you will need to scroll down to the bio) conducted by Richard Medhurst from TheAltWorld. This is a best post. My reaction: The Russians are under threat from NATO, the army of the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire, because of the latter's aggressive encroachment on Russia, have taken action to protect themselves after diplomatic efforts. The Empire's propaganda is going to smear Russian actions as a threat to all of Europe to encourage Europeans to take their propaganda seriously, deny them cheap Russian gas via Nord Stream 2, and prevent the economic integration of Europe and Russia. If the American people believe the propaganda that the media corporations are spreading regarding the Russian actions against Ukraine, after they have been lied to with their propaganda regarding the "pandemic", it will only demonstrate the power of propaganda and indoctrination that has gone on for many decades. However, Europeans are not so gullible when it affects their pocketbooks. Hopefully, the Ukrainians, together with their Nazis, will wake up to the fact that they have been used by the Empire against Russia instead of believing the propaganda spewed by European capitalist media corporations.
This puts the life of the entire Western world at risk for no reason except the hubristic claim that the West is exceptional and entileded [sic--entitled] to hegemomy over the world.
  • Rumble Live Transcript: The War in Ukraine by Glenn Greenwald from his weblog on Substack. (Note: This post, which includes a recording of his commentary (1:29:44) and transcript, is more for gullible people who listen to media corporations and tend to take seriously ruling class propaganda. If this description does not fit you, you can skip the lengthy post. Instead, if this is partially true, watch the next post.)
  • Fear of US abandonment haunts DPP authority: Global Times editorial, an editorial from Global Times, a major Chinese publication which reputedly reflects the views of the Chinese Communist Party. My reaction: Apparently the Chinese government (therefore the Chinese Communist Party) hopes that the Taiwanese will think about what has happened in Ukraine will happen to them if they consume too much of the capitalist Empire's propaganda.
“The U.S. military is the largest institutional polluter in the world. There is no corporation or industry that compares to the damage and devastation done by the U.S. war machine,” Abby Martin told Watchdog host Lowkey today.

Abby Martin is a California-based artist, journalist and filmmaker who is host of The Empire Files, a series that analyzes the world through the framing of the United States as a global empire. Her upcoming movie, “Earth’s Greatest Enemy,” exposes how the U.S. military and America’s endless wars are a key driver in catastrophic climate change.
  • IAEA to Check the Release of Fukushima Water into Ocean by Vladimir Danilov from New Eastern Outlook. My reaction: Danilov waits till the last paragraph to reveal that the IAEA only promotes the safety of the Japanese NPP (Nuclear Power Plant), and thus is not a legitimate agency to investigate the dangers of NPPs to human health. Because this agency is "autonomous" (private) and promotes the safety of nuclear power plants, I suspect that the IAEA is significantly funded by "voluntary contributions" which leaves the door open for funding by construction corporations like Westinghouse corporation. 
Nuclear power: As a result of its participation in the US government's military program for nuclear energy applications (e.g. The Nuclear Navy) Westinghouse was instrumental in the development and commercialization of nuclear energy systems for electric power generation. This business currently operates as the Westinghouse Electric Company, and is owned by Brookfield Business Partners of Canada. Electricite de France (EDF) a major global player in the nuclear power business, was a long-time licensee of the Westinghouse nuclear technology.
 
Danilov's argument is perfectly valid. Wikipedia (under "Secretariat") even mentions this fact:
The IAEA budget is in two parts. The regular budget funds most activities of the IAEA and is assessed to each member nation (€344 million in 2014).[31] The Technical Cooperation Fund is funded by voluntary contributions with a general target in the US$90 million range.[31] [my insertion] 
 
The €344 million mentioned in the quote could be a result of pressure from the IMF and World Bank on individual nations to accept loans from the latter agencies. Both are organized and funded by the de-facto capitalist US/British/Zionist Empire.
  • Should climate campaigns be radical or moderate? featuring "Rupert Read and Roger Hallam discuss[ing] the virtues and vices of moderate and radical flanks in the climate movement."--from Read's channel on YouTube (25:00). My reaction: Having watched only 20 minutes of the video, I think it is fair to say that Read advocates a moderate position and Hallam represents a radical position. I think that Hallam is "right-on" in advocating a radical position because he is appropriately framing the climate crisis as threatening the Earth with the extinction of humans (and most other species). It is clear, though, that Extinction Rebellion, as an organization, has both a moderate and a radical wing.

Covid, as has become increasingly obvious is the greatest crime ever imposed on the people on such a global scale. With few exceptions it has affected everybody, everywhere. The mass awakening it has inspired has led to mass uprisings around the globe. Which at the time of writing show no signs of abating, in fact they are growing. As more information about the Pandemic emerges the worse it gets as the depth of the evil is further exposed. It is fair to assume as more details continue to come out, those still accepting the lie will join the already awakened in anger.

What the Covid tyranny has exposed is the total corruption of not just the political class but of all the institutions of power and control.
  • So This Is How Pfizer Did It featuring Russell Brand, a British comedian turned activist, reviews many reports indicating the Pfizer made huge profits from the selling of their vaccines to various governments--using Brand's channel on YouTube (14:11).  
Since countries of the South became independent, the World Bank, the IMF, the Paris Club, the ruling classes in the North and in the South have claimed that a country of the South that aspires at economic progress has to both get into debt and open its domestic market to foreign goods and investments. The same actors claim that countries of the South that have commodity resources must exploit and export them. This dogmatic approach that rests on the threefold diktat debt, the maximal opening of the economies and extractivism keeps those countries in a position of dependence, subordination, under-development and permanent indebtedness. The overwhelming majority of people in those countries live precarious lives at best or in the starkest poverty.

The debt contracted by most governments is used to fund projects and policies that actually increase the country’s dependence and eventually fail. 
  • 'Kiev's govt literally has no cards to play' - Scott Ritter on Donbass escalation featuring Ritter in an interview conducted by an employee of RT using RT's channel on YouTube (07:33). (Note: The RT interviewer references a "Swiss Banking System" which is one method of processing international payments, but the SWIFT international payments system is a dominant system that most corporations and governments rely on to settle payments.)
  • Western sanctions won’t help solve Ukraine crisis: FM by Yang Sheng and Xie Jun from Global Times. My reaction: Because the Global Times is reputedly the voice of the Communist Party that decides all things in China, I see the following quote which contains a veiled threat to the Empire's SWIFT system of international payments:
Chinese analysts said that Russia seemed well prepared for Western sanctions before Russian President Vladimir Putin signed on Monday two decrees recognizing "the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR)" and "the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR)" as independent and sovereign states. As Russia has huge energy reserves including oil and gas, as well as rare metals, Moscow does have measures to hit back, and its cooperation with China in payment systems could limit the impact of any Western sanctions.
The Canadian Senate was set to vote on whether the act would be extended. Given the legal requirements for invoking the act to begin with were shaky, it is rumoured that the Senate was not going to pass it. This would mean Trudeau revoked it before it could be struck down. If true, this likely would have been done as a PR move to maintain public perception that the invocation of the emergency act was well thought out.

Trudeau was receiving a great deal of backlash from fellow politicians in Canada, Canadian citizens and world leaders around the world who thought the use of emergency powers in this situation was not only unnecessary but the standards for invoking the act legally were not met.

  • šŸ’„Technocracy: The Operating System For The New International Rules-Based Order by Iain Davis from Unlimited Hangout. This is a best post. (Note: The post is a very lengthy, difficult-to-understand article, but a very important article.) My reaction: I spent considerable time on this article, but I think it is time worth spent. It is filled with high-level political/economic organizations and their abbreviations, but the latter abbreviations are continued in the remainder of the lengthy text. In addition, Davis, a British citizen, presents a largely British point-of-view with extensive references to British, and Commonwealth, references. But to top all these difficulties--and it is my pet peeve--the author puts all quotes in large fonts and with bold letters to imply that these quotes should be taken seriously more than the text. But, if you have the time, wade through these difficulties and you will be rewarded with very insights about very important contemporary issues. I may comment on this post in the future.
  • šŸ’„Oliver Stone & Abby Martin: Down the JFK Rabbit Hole featuring an interview conducted by Abby Martin with Oliver Stone--from Abby's Empire Files' channel on YouTube (53:58). This is a best post. My reaction: The story of Stone's awakening is unfortunately a story of only a minority of Americans who have been for decades indoctrinated, propagandized, distracted by entertainment, and their own comforts by the ruling capitalist class whose highly secretive CIA ran most operations of the development of their world-dominating de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire (see this and read this).
  • It Begins featuring Russell Brand, a British independent thinker of politics, exposing the latest moves by the ruling capitalist class via their government to label those who disagree with them as "terrorists"--from Brand's channel on YouTube (12:30).
  • Donbass and Crimea – an insider view from journalist Eva Bartlett featuring an interview conducted by Vanessa Beeley, a Brit, with Eva Bartlett, a Canadian. I consider both among the top journalists of the world along with Pepe Escobar, Jonathan Cook, and others--from Beeley's weblog The Wall Will Fall. (Note: I haven't listened to this, but I will.)

Johnny Vedmore discusses how he feels one phase of COVID1984 is coming to an end and more people are beginning to question things. He gives us a deep dive on Cobra Commander Klaus Schwab and the Malthusian eugenics of Davos and the Club of Rome. WEF has run Britain for the last 20 years. The Young Global Leaders have taken over every single position of power. We're late to the party, we're done, we have let them run us through. He gives his take on the nature of the pandemic, the Wellcome Trust, and believes intelligence agencies are really running the show, that there are no more remaining independent actors (e.g. multipolar world). A lot of people he talks to think the endgame is something like a biblical apocalypse. 
  • Documents Suggest We’ve Been Lied To About The Moon & What’s On It by Arjun Walia from The Pulse. My reaction: Based on history, Walia suggests that all governments lie. But this is especially true of governments owned by a ruling class. It is a necessary goal to have the people take ownership of the government. This could be accomplished under capitalist rule by taking ownership of the economy away from capitalists, a tiny fraction of the people.  
The United States is stoking tensions in both Europe and East Asia, with Ukraine and Taiwan as the current flashpoints on the doorsteps of Russia and China which are the targeted nations. Let us be clear at the outset. As we shall see, the endpoint of this process is not for the U.S. to do battle with Russia or China but to watch China and Russia fight it out with the neighbors to the ruin of both sides. The US is to “lead from behind’ – as safely and remotely as can be arranged.

To make sense of this and react properly, we must be very clear-eyed about the goal of the U.S. Neither Russia nor China has attacked or even threatened the U.S. Nor are they in a position to do so – unless one believes that either is ready to embark on a suicidal nuclear war.

Why should the U.S. Elite and its media pour out a steady stream of anti-China and anti-Russia invective? Why the steady eastward march of NATO since the end of the first Cold War? The goal of the U.S. is crystal clear – it regards itself as the Exceptional Nation and entitled to be the number one power on the planet, eclipsing all others.
One can frequently disagree with government policies without necessarily regarding them with disgust, but the Joe Biden Administration has turned that corner, first with its senseless promotion of a new Cold War that could turn hot with Russia and, more recently, with its actions undertaken to undermine and punish Afghanistan. The fact that the White House wraps itself in the sanctimonious, self-righteous twaddle that is so much the hallmark of the political left is bad enough, but when the government goes out of its way to harm and even kill people around the world in pursuit of an elusive global dominance it is time for the American people to rise up and say “Stop!”
 
But Americans won't rise up and say "stop!" and the US ruling class knows this. The only way this will happen is that the counterparts of Trudeau enforce tyrannical laws on the largely self-interested, self-absorbed, and easily distracted American people who have bought into the "exceptional USA" propaganda.
As all eyes were trained on the aggressive police sweep of the Ottawa trucker convoy this week, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau’s administration was quietly moving to implement a sweeping expansion of surveillance power at the federal level.

The Trudeau government’s financial war against the truckers has been covered at length. But one underreported aspect of this broader assault on Canadian civil liberties is the effort to bring crowdfunding and payment service providers — two of the most prominent routes for financial transactions on the Internet — under the permanent control of a centralized government authority.
Pets become part of the family. Truckers on long-haul commutes often have a dog for companionship, and once the Canadian government is facing a mob of irate truckers whose beloved pets were seized, they’re going to have a much bigger problem on their hands.
  • Under United States Pressure On Germany Faces a Moment of Choice by James ONeill from New Eastern Outlook. My reaction: I thoroughly agree with Mike Whitney that the Nordstream 2 Pipeline is crucial to the Empire's control of the world. This is what the Ukraine issue is all about--to instill fear in all Europeans that the Russians are coming!--to prevent the use of Nordsteam 2. I am also of the opinion that they will reject this fear in favor of much cheaper Russian gas. Biden has already said that if the Russians invade Ukraine, he will only step up the financial sanctions against Russia--as if the Russians care!
... Russia found a way to intervene in the conflict without promoting an invasion of Ukraine. The local militias, who until now had few resources to face the violence of the Ukrainian state, will have the support of the Russian armed forces to prevent further attacks and protect the civilian population.

Russia has not committed any illegal act under international law. The United Nations permits the use of military force for the self-defense of others. With the recognition of the new states, Moscow has the right to protect them from any aggression.
Although the investigation into the January unrest in Kazakhstan is not over yet, the fingerprints of the US, UK and a range of other Washington’s allies are all over the place.

  • šŸ’„The Eager Willingness Of Government To Murder Its Own Is The Embodiment Of Evil by Gary D. Barnett from EarthNewspaper. This is a best post. My reaction: In my opinion, yes, Covid-19 is real after the Empire's ruling class invented and spread it around to Wuhan, China and Iran, but it in no way justified a "pandemic" that was declared by the corrupted World Health Organization. The ruling class of the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire has had an entire boatload of tricks to support the fear of the declared "pandemic". However, that is not to say that these new mRNA "vaccinations" won't eventually kill a large percentage of people who get them--only time will tell. So far the data shows that they come at a high risk. I would not trust media corporations and Big Pharma because they are servants of the self-serving ruling class of finance and substantial owners of major corporations.
Lest we forget, it is not a fake or mysterious disease or ‘virus’ that is responsible for the unnecessary death and destruction that has befallen mankind, it is the deliberate elimination of those thought to be undesirables by the controlling class of monsters and their pawns in government. This is not ‘conspiracy theory,’ as espoused by the powerful and their media, it is an actual conspiracy.
Roman Vega, Global Coordinator of People’s Health Movement, talks to Peoples Dispatch about the achievements and the challenges faced by the movement in 2021, the path ahead and major priorities. He points out that the difficulties in accessing comprehensive healthcare are caused by an approach linked to the concept of health business developed through neoliberal policies which also hinders strategies for health promotion and disease prevention. He also adds that in order to realize the changes we wish to achieve, we must bring people of different regions and countries together through mobilizations and struggles.
  • European Union prefers corporate profits over the health of people across the world by Abdul Rahman from Peoples Dispatch. My reaction: The European Union is made of capitalist nations--the US and what was left of the British Empire after WWII that determined what was Europe (under their control) was shaped by capitalism, so why the headline? Capitalism is all about profits and power and the concentration of those factors under the control of a ruling class. In 1991 after the self-serving bureaucratically controlled system in the Soviet Union disintegrated in Russia, the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire gradually took over eastern Europe with the result that they, too, have capitalist economies. Russia has a mixed economy (capitalist enterprises and what was left of a government-controlled "socialist" enterprises. The Empire tolerates no independent nations, and Russia (and China) refuses to be controlled by the self-serving Empire. In addition, they have a residue of "socialist" enterprises. The reason I put socialism in quotes is because they are not controlled by the people, but by the government, a government that has policies for the general benefit of the nation. Generally this applies to China with minor deviations.
  • Neurorights and Neuromarkets by Whitney Webb from Vimeo. (Note: This is a short video post (01:20) from a longer one that lies behind a paywall that is used to fund articles/videos by Webb.) 
Yes, it’s an odd title. Let’s turn to Merriam-Webster for definitions. “Salt of the Earth:” — “a very good and honest person or group of people,” and “foot soldiers:” — “a person likened to an infantryman especially in doing active and usually unglamorous work in support of an organization or movement.” I have several synonyms for foot soldiers: functionaries, lackeys, toadies, water carriers, and courtiers. Whatever we name them, they have in common doing the biding of people in power, or the power elite.
 
My reaction: The "Salt of the Earth and Foot Soldiers" after many decades of propaganda and indoctrination are well prepared for their role as servants to the powerful ruling class.  
  • The Democracy Illusion by Gary M. Galles from American Institute for Economic Research. My reaction: As known by longtime readers of my weblog, I see most societies or nations separated into socioeconomic classes where there is a ruling class that controls all institutions including the government. Otherwise, I agree with Galles.
In a subsequent column, on January 28, 2021, Strategic Culture Foundation highlighted how the Biden administration would ramp up efforts to sabotage the Nord Stream 2 gas project between Russia and the European Union. This unspoken objective has come to a head in the present crisis over Ukraine. It is driving the geopolitical dynamics behind the conflict between the U.S. and Russia, as explained in a later SCF article published on June 8, 2021, – some five months before the crisis erupted in Western media coverage.
  • Cory Morningstar: This is a Complete Descent Into Global Fascism featuring Morningstar in an interview conducted by an unnamed interviewer from the channel of Geopolitics & Empire on Odysee (47:58). (Note: I could understand about 2/3 of what Morningstar said, and she appeared to be depressed by what she has witnessed in Canada.
Cory Morningstar gives us a report from the front lines of the Great Reset in Canada. Everything the media says is a lie and you can forget about the whole left-right paradigm, this is a global class war and descent into fascism. Covid has been a huge catalyst and cover to unroll this huge reset of the global economic system, a project of Prince Charles. The British Commonwealth has just partnered with WHO to vaccinate the entire planet by July 2022 and is working with the World Bank in a huge campaign to get Digital Identity to everyone by 2030. The vaccine is a portal to the Digital ID. We're going into global governance and the Digital ID is the umbilical cord to the Smart City. The conduit to the 4IR is your smartphone, for now. The eugenicist aspect of the program is simply a business decision (e.g. pension crisis). What you can access will be dependent on your level of compliance. Freedom, health, and your immune system will become a service or subscription. 
 
My reaction: I found two things in which I disagreed with Morningstar: 1) She targets the "British Commonwealth" as the seat of all evil, but I, on the other hand, target the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire (see this and read this). 2) She seems to think that Russia and China are a part of this Reset plan--I emphatically disagree. But I thoroughly agree with Morningstar that the directors of the Empire are trying, and largely succeeding, to instill in their compliant populations a sense of "entitlement" by attempting to induce the compliant members of these nations an attitude that they are better than the "deplorables".
  • Kamila Valieva – the World’s Ice Angel by Larry Romanoff from The Unz Review. My reaction: The author supplies over-long evidence that the International Olympics Committee is as Romanoff argues--riven (def.) by the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire's political uses:
There are a few muted voices on the other side. Johannes Herber, the managing director of Athletes Germany, makes clear that “These Olympic Games are more political than any before. ....

The reason the sports authorities will be deaf to all criticism is that they are not doing their jobs badly; they are performing perfectly according to their real agenda – which could be briefly summarised as “Bring as much embarrassment, financial loss, humiliation, pain, to both China and Russia. The Olympics are merely one cannon in their arsenal. This is the cause of the “investigations” by WADA, USADA, and the IOC, into Kamila, Kamila’s entire ‘entourage’, the ROC and much more. If there is any way they can use US laws to “sanction” Kamila and many others, they will do it, and things would not have progressed to this late stage without a plan that is likely foolproof.

In dribs and drabs, the hideous effects of treating human beings like insects in mason jars with holes poked in the lid are coming to light. We cannot repair the damage done, but we can highlight and expose those who were responsible for the remainder of their waking days.
In this interview, Szamboti summarizes the glaring errors in the analysis by engineering professor Zdeněk Bažant, who, in a series of papers published between 2002 and 2011, purported to explain how the Twin Towers could undergo total collapse once the tops of the towers began to fall. 
The World owes Canada’s finest a debt of gratitude.

Certainly, their model of protest has been impressive—after all, the lory drivers aren’t burdened by BLM brains. The big rigs had initially managed to halt commerce on the Ambassador Bridge, between Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, as well as at Coutts, Alberta, opposite Montana; and across from North Dakota at Emerson, Manitoba.

Inspired by the quixotic Canadians, liberty loving Europeans are rising against the Continental Covid cartel that has created tiers of subjects some better than others. In France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Austria brave men and women are demanding their liberties be reinstated, many waving the Canadian flag in recognition of those who went before. They are doing the same in New Zealand and Australia, even in Israel.

In quick succession, the system of segregation developed around vaccination has begun to crumble across Canada in the wake of trucker persistence.
  • Trucker Convoy Donors DOXXED! featuring Jimmy Dore, and a guest, using Dore's channel on YouTube (10:26). (Note: You will need to know the meaning of the word "dox" and its derivatives.)
  • šŸ’„The Crisis in Ukraine Is Not About Ukraine. It's About Germany by Mike Whitney from The Unz Review. This is a best post. My reaction: Whitney begins his essay with this quote (below) from a CEO of a right-wing, private spy agency. The quote's argument contains an obvious truth behind the current efforts to create war hysteria in Europe. Having lost the battle on Nord Stream 2, the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire has created a backup plan. But what happens if and when this plan fails? The directors of this Empire feel that the Russian-Germany relations are key to their longtime objective to rule the world, and desperate enough to keep them apart. Could the directors offer another example of projecting their tactics onto the Russians for propaganda purposes? If so, we may see a false-flag operation designed by the Empire and blamed on the Russians. In contrast to what many Americans think, who are preoccupied with the issues related to the covid "pandemic", I think this crisis is very dangerous.
“The primordial interest of the United States, over which for centuries we have fought wars– the First, the Second and Cold Wars– has been the relationship between Germany and Russia, because united there, they’re the only force that could threaten us. And to make sure that that doesn’t happen.” George Friedman, STRATFOR CEO at The Chicago Council on Foreign Affairs 
 
I don't know if the US/British/Zionist Empire will decide to go to war over this issue or not, and I don't think that the directors of the Empire will finally know--although they are in agreement now to go to war. I still agree with the above commentary.
Even though US officials have been saying, at least ever since Joe Biden became the US president, that they do not intend to start a new cold war with China and that they do not want countries in Asia and the Pacific to choose between Washington and Beijing, the fact that the US continues to officially project China as a threat to these countries means, directly and unambiguously, that Washington wants these countries to reject China and embrace Uncle Sam as part of its overall politics of global hegemony.

  • Omicron a wolf in sheep's clothing by world-renowned vaccinologist Geert Vanden Bossche from his weblog Voice for Science and Solidarity. (Note: This post is rather technical.) 
In conclusion, there is no place in this pandemic for any of the current C-19 vaccines. Even the most passionate vaccinologist can only conclude that the current C-19 vaccines are harmful, both from an individual and public health viewpoint, and that their use in mass vaccination campaigns is violating all rules of vaccinology. Instead of cutting the chain of viral transmission, these vaccines are now increasing the rate of infectious cases in the vaccinated as compared to the non-vaccinated population across all age groups (14-19). Furthermore, there is no single scientific rational, let alone scientific data, to believe that their use in mass vaccination campaigns across all age groups (including children and pregnant women!) will not entail detrimental consequences for both individual and public health. Those would come on top of the alarming rate of adverse events that are regularly reported shortly after the injection of the genetic C-19 vaccines. Their administration (without informed consent!) should be halted immediately and replaced by large-scale antiviral chemoprophylaxis at a population level (to control the pandemic in countries with high vaccine coverage rates) and early multidrug treatment at an individual level (to control the disease in vulnerable individuals). The ongoing mass vaccination campaigns are a threat to our human species. Vaccine mandates and immunologic discrimination are, therefore, a crime against humanity and will undoubtedly be referred to as such in the history of mankind.
 
My reaction: The billionaires have "pulled the wool over our eyes" (def.) in this "scamdemic". By ignoring or censoring such experts as Bossche, the ruling class has used only one of its "bag of tricks" in order to deceive ordinary people. This is class warfare!
A French research team confirmed this when they stopped random volunteers in a park. The team separated the groups into vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals and tested their gadgets. The team found that the vaccinated registered an unnamed MAC address.

To be clear, the MAC address is a machine dress code, all electronic hardware that makes them identifiable wirelessly. It’s a unique address to the device, so it’s just a hexadecimal number that identifies particular hardware, and each vaccinated person is disseminating a separate and unique code.
  • How Did They Cover This Up?! featuring Russell Brand, a British comedian turned critic, to criticize Johnson & Johnson, Inc. regarding thousands of lawsuits against them for sales of carcinogenic baby powder--using his channel on YouTube (13:12). 
“American colleagues at the Pentagon told me, unequivocally, that the US and UK never would allow European-Soviet (re: EU-Russia) relations to develop to such a degree that they would challenge the US-UK’s political, economic or military primacy and hegemony on the European continent. Such a development will be prevented by all necessary means, if necessary by provoking a war in central Europe.” Christof Lehmann
The US-manufactured crisis in Ukraine is part of the NATO drive to subordinate Europe and Asia, to prevent their tilt toward the China-Russia alliance and the Eurasian powers’ attempt to build a new multipolar world. 
The Saker reports that the latest information from Donbass is that the Ukrainians are using UR-77 mine clearing vehicles to clear mines from the Donbass border.  This is the operation that is conducted just prior to a ground attack.  

It would seem that if any invasion is planned, it is a Ukrainian invasion of Donbass calculated to bring the Russians in.  The report of an invasion of Donbass would be labeled a Russian false flag attack, and the Russian intervention would become the predicted invasion.  If anything happens, I think I have described it.
The war hysteria that has rolled in like a tidal wave in recent weeks and months is the most striking example. Known by its jargon, “shaping the narrative,” much if not most of it is pure propaganda.
My reaction: Which story do you believe: the explanation by this sports lawyer or the reports from media corporations?

Posts that I especially recommend for Thursday, February 17, 2022

Michael Rectenwald returns to discuss the ESG Index or "woke capitalism" as a selection mechanism or demarcation device to delineate which businesses are onboard with The Great Reset and punish those who are not compliant. It is effectively a Social Credit System for companies, feeding investments toward the compliant while starving dissident firms, competition, and industries. This sets up the possibility for doing to companies what is being done to individuals in Canada right now, de-banking them and freezing their assets, and is totalitarian in nature. This global government combines the worst of both systems (capitalism and [state-bureaucratic] communism). We discuss the WEF Young Global Leaders program, the threat posed by the people who don't see COVID1984 for what it is, resistance, and parallel structures. [my insertion]
 
My brief commentary follows: 
 
The "woke" strategy in the title is only the latest strategy to sustain the transnational capitalist ruling classes. The (unnamed) interviewer suggests (08:57-10:23) that we patronize his sponsor which is only another capitalist short-term scheme. The interviewer and his guest, Rectenwald, are confused by years of propaganda and indoctrination regarding Russian "communism" during the Stalinist years after the destruction of the development of real socialism by capitalist invasions of Russia (see this and this) in support of the White Army. The White Army wanted to continue Russia's participation in WWI and were capitalist oriented. These invasions resulted in a Stalinist bureaucratic group taking control of the Soviet Union. 
 
The interviewer identifies himself as a conservative (meaning a capitalist conservative which I interpret as old-fashioned capitalists), but he and Rechtenwald are really anarchists as well as old-fashioned capitalists who believe that any government during this concentration of capital is necessarily corrupt. Both do not understand that the establishment of historical capitalism necessarily evolves into fascist capitalism that we see today, and that we saw in Germany and Japan in the 1930s. Trying to establish parallel democratic institutions is not the answer, real socialism in which we, ordinary people, are the ruling class in which the class system itself will disappear.
 
I don't pretend to know what the conditions are like in China or Russia. But I know that Covid-19 is real, and many multi-system nations are dealing with it they best they can, and certainly better than many capitalist nations.
China’s infrastructure drive directly jeopardizes the West’s current “international order” under which Western hegemony is maintained by denying nations infrastructure, stability, and prosperity. This is why the United State through its “Build Back Better World” and now the EU through its “Global Gateway” are posturing as if they plan on competing with China’s Belt and Road Initiative, but upon reading the fine print, are clearly planning to simply roll it back and maintain the status quo. 
 
My reaction: With Berletic's use of the "West", he means the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire. I, after many years of research, produced this explanation for the rise of another capitalist empire much like Germany's Nazi empire and Japan's Empire. And this post, which explains how the ruling capitalist class has engaged in a long-range conspiracy to rule the world after WWII, was recently supported by a book from a University of Columbia (USA) professor in a book entitled Tomorrow the World. 
  • Davos and the Purloined Letter Conspiracy by F. Robert Engdahl from New Eastern Outlook. My reaction: This is a recent development is only a part of the long-range goal to obtain global control by the control "freaks" of the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire.
Read those words again. “No oversight from Congress or the courts.” Essentially, US citizens are expected to trust the CIA to restrain its operations on its own volition. No one would, or should, accept such terms, especially from an organization such as the CIA with a proven track record of dissembling when it comes to telling the truth (as former CIA Director Mike Pompeo noted, in April 2019: “I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment”).
 
It is already law that protects the highly secretive CIA which functions as the operation agency of the capitalist ruling class used to destabilize foreign governments and to manipulate our own population. This bill was passed after the staging the "9/11" contrived event to shock with fear the population of the USA. Fear is the weapon they've used frequently on the general population to pass such legislation. This was also demonstrated in the war on drugs, the war on terrorism, and now the covid pandemic. Before those events, there was always the threat from the Soviet Union and now the Russian Federation.
China’s infrastructure drive directly jeopardizes the West’s current “international order” under which Western hegemony is maintained by denying nations infrastructure, stability, and prosperity. This is why the United State through its “Build Back Better World” and now the EU through its “Global Gateway” are posturing as if they plan on competing with China’s Belt and Road Initiative, but upon reading the fine print, are clearly planning to simply roll it back and maintain the status quo.
 
The West means the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire which is striving for Empire's hegemony over the world (see this, which is supported by a Columbia professor in his recent book Tomorrow the World).
The planet is heating at an alarming rate. We need to raise the albedo, reflect the Sun’s heat, draw CO2 out of the atmosphere and reduce acidity in the oceans. It’s a tall order. Peter Wadhams and Ye Tao argue the case for different methods of geoengineering, and for restoring the acid/base balance in the oceans.

Peter advocates both #MarineCloudBrightening and Direct Air Capture. While Ye’s #MEER reflection project works with mirrors, particularly on farms, where increased shade would save water and cool crops in the escalating heat and droughts to come.

Both Peter and Ye recommend farming #oysters and using their shells to recover the acid/base balance of the ocean, while host, Dale Walkonen, recommends ending industrial animal agriculture. These solutions would be very powerful in restoring Earth’s natural systems, both on land and in the sea.
 
My reaction: Ye Tao of Harvard University is the author of the conceptualization of the mirror reflection project (see this), and thanks Guy McPherson (at 32:50) for the inspiration to come up this solution. But this solution requires the wealthy nations to put forth enormous investment in mirrors and their installation. I don't see any discussion of this solution from the leading capitalist ruling classes whose wealth and power is based on profits. Thus, I don't see this solution as feasible in the short-term unless the wealthier nations converted to socialism in the limited time remaining. The wealthier capitalist nations might employ this method in desperation at a last stage of the global warming crisis, but it will be too late.
