Ro Khanna: The Silicon Valley 'progressive' pushing closer US ties to Modi's India

By Thomas Simpson | Aletho News | July 22, 2023

Propagandist Joseph Goebbels was (rightly or wrongly) credited with making famous the Big Lie. That of repeating a lie often enough until it is accepted as truth. Such is the case with the origins of Covid-19.

For three years Americans have been repeatedly reminded by mainstream press reports, as well as independent news websites and bloggers, that Covid originated in Wuhan, China. Over and over again we were told that It was a lab leak in Wuhan! or Covid came from a bat sold at a wet market in Wuhan or The Chinese government grounded all flights but those to the United States, proof that the Chinese government created Covid etc, etc. But if we follow the money trail and paper trail we can unravel the true history behind the origins of Covid-19. And if we do, we may arrive at only one conclusion. That Covid-19 was MADE IN AMERICA!

We begin by searching the patent records of the CDC and Big Pharma. Investigative reporting by Dr. David Martin, CEO of MCAM, an intangible assets underwriter company, turned up patent evidence showing that SARS CoV2 was not a manifestation in nature. It was manufactured as early as 2003 by the CDC. And the patent application for the mRNA countermeasure was submitted only three days later!

CDCs patent application No. 7220852 was submitted on April 25, 2003.

Pharmaceutical Company Sanofi submitted its patent application for the mRNA countermeasure on April 28, 2003, patent No. 7151163, was submitted only three days later. How could that be unless there was collusion between the CDC and Sanofi? Dr. Martin described it as a RICO case of racketeering. Sanofi was later purchased by Pfizer and the mRNA was never approved because it didnt meet the requirements of the US Patent Office.

Dr. Martins findings revealed that the flu virus never left even though CDC reported a 95% reduction in reported flu cases. What happened to the flu? According to Dr. Martin, Influenza was a failed decades-long influenza mandate that was desperately promoted by governments around the world. But they failed to get a response similar to the response to SARS CoV2 they had hoped for. Which was to get everybody injected against the flu. So they said, lets change the pathogen. They can do this again a thousand times now that populations have responded the way they were induced to respond. Call it flu Pandemic 2.0, but now we are on to them, said Dr. Martin.

In 2008, CDCs SARS CoV2 patent 7220852 was approved. But Sanofi now Pfizer saw its patent for the mRNA turned down. This was also the year the DoD took an interest in the SARS virus as a potential bioweapon.

The paper trail of US funding for Gain-of-Function research into creating a bioweapon under DoDs c...

Im rolling down the President Biden Expressway in Scranton PA (speed limit 35) listening to Kai Birds and Martin Sherwins bio of Oppenheimer, and it strikes me that the subjects decision not to poison every man, woman, and child in Germany, purely because he couldnt figure out how to do it, probably didnt make it into the movie. (Tell me if Im wrong.)

I will be extremely pleasantly surprised if anyone comes out of the movie struck by what a reader of the book (remember those?) ought to be struck by: the Los Alamos scientists were willing to commit mass murder because they were sold a package of lies, and when those lies fell apart, one by one some before and some after the use of nuclear bombs on two cities many of those scientists changed their minds.  They were told that Germany was probably developing a nuclear bomb and would soon use it. They learned that this was probably not the case. They were told that the war would only end with either Germany or the United States using nuclear bombs. Then Germany surrendered without anybody having used the bomb. They were told that the Soviet Union, that place doing the bulk of the fighting against Germany, was an ally in a struggle for the survival of life on Earth. Then they were told that the Soviet Union was the actual enemy against whom the bomb needed to be developed and brandished. Various of them were given to understand at various points that the bomb technology would be shared internationally to prevent its use or an arms race, or that it would be demonstrated on an uninhabited location or simply communicated to Japan prior to being used on cities. The scientists were told that bombing Japan would be needed to end the war, even as the pressue on them to hurry was increased, with Germany out of the war, and the actual urgency coming from Washingtons desire to use the bombs before the war could end and end through Soviet action without the bombs having been demonstrated.

Some of the scientists quit at various points in this saga. Some of them illegally gave information to the Soviets, believing rightly or wrongly th...

Unimpeded Jewish settler violence has left the Palestinian people in desperation. Between 2010 and 2019, nearly 3,000 Israeli settler attacks killed at least 22 Palestinians and injured 1,258 others across the occupied West Bank. Data collected by the UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reveals that there have been at least 570 attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank in the first six months of 2023 an average of three attacks a day. With the settler attacks intensifying, the plight of the Palestinians grows more menacing.

Betselm describes how the Israeli government encourages the settlements

Most of the settlements in the West Bank are defined as national priority areas. Accordingly, the settlers and other Israeli citizens working or investing in the settlements are entitled to significant financial benefits. These benefits are provided by six government ministries: the Ministry of Construction and Housing (generous loans for the purchase of apartments, part of which is converted to a grant); the Israel Lands Administration (significant price reductions in leasing land); the Ministry of Education (incentives for teachers, exemption from tuition fees in kindergartens, and free transportation to school); the Ministry of Industry and Trade (grants for investors, infrastructure for industrial zones, etc.); the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (incentives for social workers); and the Ministry of Finance (reductions in income tax for individuals and companies).

Benefits are an inducement and not an excuse to acquire...

The EU Envoy to Palestine Sven Khn Von Burgsdorff paraglided onto a beach in Gaza on Monday and told Gazans that "Everything is possible." But some things, like paragliding in Gaza's skies, are only possible for people with immense power like Mr. Von Burgsdorff, not for the Palestinians living under a crippling Israeli blockade.

In nature, monocultures are not so resilient to predators or other ravages that exploit their inherent vulnerabilities. Farmers have known this characteristic of monocultures forever. (Agribusiness doesnt care as much, given its short-term profit outlook.)

Democratic voters are at risk from the increasing political monocultures that are weakening resistance to the GOP and Big Business demands.

There are four such groups that are exhibiting similar monoculture symptoms of deteriorating power.

1. The Democratic Party itself is led by pathetic sinecurists controlling its formal national, state, and local Party structures. At the top is the PAC-greased Democratic National Committee (DNC) whose chief strategists, over decades, have steadily written off half of the nation (the Red States), and abandoned their Parties there down the line. When, for example, the Party gave up on five mountain states in the West that used to send Democrats to Congress, it started out with a deficit of ten in the Senate. It is hard to recover from such an abdication. The Party will spend far more on a Pennsylvania Senate race than on Senate races in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and the Dakotas combined. There are no local Democratic Committees in 30 of 32 counties in Wyoming.

Today, the Party raises record amounts of money and finds ways to set records in blowing it. Senator Chuck Schumer directed the spending of over $200 million in two big-time losing Senate races against Mitch McConnell (Kentucky) and Lindsey Graham (South Carolina). The loser in South Carolina was promoted to head the DNC where he has declared himself to be part of the Democratic Party machine a mere functionary instead of a galvanizer.

The Democratic Party doesnt have the energy possessed by the GOP and right-wing groups that fight each other, but have managed to win many national and statewide elections that they should have lost badly. This is due to lassitude and blunders by the Dems in the gerrymandering struggle and indenturing itself to corporate campaign money that has blocked its former New Deal agenda of standing, in all the states, for working families while the GOP banded with Wall Street.

After avoidable election losses, the Dems dont force the responsible officials out and clean house with more vigorous people. Recall the historic blunder in New York State in 2022 dominated by the Democratic Party that gave away four winnable Congressional seats, and failed to defeat the media-exposed charlatan George Santos (R-NY). Despite this dismal performance, the Democratic Party retained its State Chairperson.

A monoculture is resistant to outside criticism and advice, no matter how credible and pragmatic (See:...

Remarks in Scranton, Pennsylvania, July 22, 2023

There is something that we need to tell a great many of our friends and neighbors. It is that we have been misled. All is not as it seems.

Here we are outside what appears to be a factory where U.S. government dollars create jobs, boost the economy, and fund activities that support the important needs of the U.S. public and the people of the world. Not a bit of those appearances is real.

When government dollars are spent on weapons, they eliminate jobs, because spending those dollars on education or green energy or never taxing them in the first place creates more jobs than spending them on weapons and better paying jobs with wider economic impact and thats regardless of whether the weapons are given away to a foreign government and whoever ends up with them. Weapons are not products or services that circulate in the economy. They are made to destroy themselves and much else. And a huge chunk of the money ends up with very few people. This economy is drained and degraded by the funding of this factory a reality that becomes apparent if we direct our vision more widely.

Compare life around here with life in many more wealthy and less wealthy countries. Where is our free higher education? Where is our secure retirement? Where is our healthcare as a human right? Where is our protection from the indignity and ordeal of poverty in the midst of mountainous wealth? Where, oh Amtrak Joe, for the love of all that is decent, are our non-antique trains? Why do we all travel about in Earth-eating automobiles? How is it that weve been kept so ignorant that we can be told were dreaming of fantasies when we speak of things that are normal for many more people than live in this country a country where bringing back child labor is deemed progress?

Wait! we are told, first things first. We must manufacture weapons to save the world. After that we can worry abou...

Traveling on a budget doesnt mean compromising on comfort or the quality of your accommodation. With the right strategies and hotel booking hacks, you can save big on your stay without sacrificing the overall travel experience. 

In this article, well share some tried-and-tested tips that will empower budget travelers to find great deals on hotels and make the most of their hard-earned money.

1. Plan and Book in Advance

One of the fundamental rules of budget travel is to plan ahead. Booking your hotel well in advance allows you to take advantage of early bird discounts and avoid last-minute price surges. Many hotels offer attractive deals for those who book months in advance. 

For example, international level hotels like Deltin in Daman, offer amazing offers year-around, for all kinds of events like wedding, and more.

 By planning your trip early, youll also have a wider range of accommodation options to choose from, ensuring you find the best value for your money.

2. Be Flexible with Your Travel Dates

Flexibility is key to finding the best hotel deals. If you can, try to be flexible with your travel dates. Prices often vary significantly depending on the time of year, day of the week, and major events happening in the destination. Consider traveling during the off-peak season or on weekdays when prices are generally lower. Websites and apps that allow you to compare prices across different dates can be incredibly useful for this purpose.

3. Leverage Loyalty Programs

If you frequently stay at the same hotel chain or use a particular booking platform, its worth signing up for their loyalty program. Many hotels offer exclusive discounts, free upgrades, and other perks to their loyal customers. Accumulating reward points can also lead to significant savings or even free stays in the future. Take advantage of these programs to make the most of your hotel bookings.

4. Consider Alternative Accommodation Options

While hotels are a popular choice for travellers, they are not the only option. Consider alternative accommodation options like hostels, guesthouses, vacation rentals, and even couch surfing. These alternatives can often be more budget-friendly and provide unique experiences that hotels may not offer. Websit...

John Cody Remix News July 17, 2023

Over the weekend, after the international media loudly trumpeted that five German men were arrested for raping an 18-year-old Spanish girl, it was quickly revealed that all of the men have a migration background. Nevertheless, the vast majority of news outlets referred to the men as Germans and most made no mention of the fact that the men had a migration background, with many outlets even referring to them as a German pack.

While Spanish news outlet Ultima Hora reported that the 21- to 23-year-old suspects were of Turkish origin, much of the Spanish press was fixated on the German aspect of the crime, which the men allegedly filmed on their smartphones. Even the German press was quick to claim the men were Germans with no context, with Welt, one of the most popular conservative papers in the country, running the headline Five German vacationers on Mallorca have to be remanded in custody. At no point in the piece does Welt mention the migration background of the suspects. The same story was told throughout the international press, with Associated Press, Deutsche Welle, and the Daily Mail making no mention of the mens migration background.

Bild newspaper was perhaps the only major German newspaper to note that the men all had a migration background, but Bild is one of the rare publications in Germany that consistently publishes such information when it is made available by the police.

Why it matters

The issue of migrant men, or those with a migration background, being portrayed simply as Germans when it comes to crime has been a theme over recent years, but we should expect this trend to continue and only get worse. The reason why is that the German government is quickly naturalizing hundreds of thousands of migrants, and as Remix News has reported in the past, once these foreigners obtain German citizenship, they are simply referred to as Germans in the crime statistics. Germany makes n...

Criticizing the wealthy elite is anti-Semitic, according to new speech codes from the Reframing Race initiative covered by the Guardian on Tuesday.

From The Guardian, Avoid phrases that link negativity with blackness, anti-racism report recommends:

Phrases and words that link negativity with blackness and positivity with whiteness such as black mood, dark times or whiter than white reinforce racist connotations and should be avoided, an anti-racism initiative has recommended.

Reframing Race has put together a report titled Contains Strong Language to equip anti-racism and racial inequality campaigners with the words that have proven most effective in persuading people of the harm and structural nature of racism.

The guide says associating whiteness with purity, cleanliness and goodness, and blackness with evil and destruction serves to reinforce harmful tropes and the constructed racial hierarchy in which black and minoritised people are pushed to the bottom.

It also suggests using images or visual descriptions that apply only to white people such as blushing red, ashen faces or lips turning blue risks othering black or minoritised people and should be avoided.

[] Other recommendations include avoiding the phrase white working class and rather using multi-ethnic working class or working-class people of all ethnicities because the use of the former wrongly excludes black and minoritised people from the class group.

It also suggests avoiding the use of the term wealthy elite and rather saying the powerful few as the former phrase can trigger antisemitism and feed the conspiracy theories of far-right white nationalists.

Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said a few years ago he prefers the term people of means.

Instead of using the word racism, campaigners should talk about the ideology of racism or the practice of racism as overuse of the standalone term racism without additional information or context can create an unavoidable fog.

With the Womens World Cup getting underway Thursday, CNN reported Wednesday that FIFA was still struggling to sell tickets to the monthlong event, which is being co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand.

In an effort to turn that around, FIFA President Gianni Infantino implored New Zealanders to purchase tickets for the womens soccer showcase.

New Zealand, we want you. We need you, Infantino said during a news conference Wednesday in Auckland.

Its never too late to do the right thing. Come to watch the matches. We need full stadiums to warm us all up, he added, emphasizing the significance of enthusiastic support from the home crowd.

Joining Infantino was FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura, who echoed his sentiments and encouraged Kiwis not to delay in securing their tickets.

We still have tickets available for some matches, so my only plea is dont wait until the last moment, Samoura said.

As part of the efforts to entice fans to attend the matches, the accounting firm Xero, an official partner of the Womens World Cup, offered 20,000 free tickets for games in New Zealands four host cities, according to CNN.

While the complimentary ticket allocation has been fully utilized, the remaining tickets left unsold indicate interest in the event remains low.

The exact reason is unclear.

The Associated Press noted that the countrys Football Ferns have never won a World Cup group match.

A larger problem, it said, is that soccer is not generally a widely supported sport in New Zealand and attracting fans to stadiums in the coldest months of the year was always going to be a hard sell.

In the United States, the womens soccer team has alienated many conservative fans with liberal political rants and social justice advocacy.

Infantino, in his unwavering support for the womens game, continued to promote the sport in an effort to sell more tickets.

He confidently addressed the skepticism people have for womens soccer, saying, Many people still believe that womens football is not, you know, great, a great game or its not so entertaining or its a kind of a bad copy of mens football, or some stuff like that. Well, when they watch a game for the first time, they will actually see that its a fantastic game.

Infantinos claim that womens soccer is on an equal footing with the mens game...

Jared Taylor The Unz Review July 21, 2023

Yesterday, I was grieved to learn of the death on July 17 of the great psychologist Richard Lynn. I was also shocked. It should never be a shock when a 93-year-old man dies, but Richard seemed indestructible. He was writing books in his 90s, and just this spring we exchanged email, but not even Richard Lynn was immortal. He leaves behind an immense body of work, a host of friends and admirers, his wonderful wife and helpmeet Joyce, and many children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

Richard is, of course, best known for IQ studies. He was fascinated by IQ differences not just between individuals, but between groups, regions, nations, races, and the sexes. Probably no one since Francis Galton has looked more deeply into the causes and consequences of the unequal distribution of intelligence. Like Galton, Richard feared for the future of our species if people of low intelligence and bad character continued to outbreed people of high intelligence and good character.

I do not believe Richard ever presented a finding or published an option that was not anathema to the orthodox, and this won him torrents of criticism. If the Southern Poverty Law Center can be believed and in this case perhaps it can be Leon Kamin of Harvard reportedly accused him of truly venomous racism, combined with the scandalous disregard for scientific objectivity. That about sums up the conventional view.

Richard Lynn was born in 1930 in Hampstead, England. His father was a distinguished plant breeder and geneticist who wrote for scientific journals. His father understood that genetics apply also to humans and was one of the signatories of The Geneticists Manifesto drawn up by Hermann Muller in 1939, which asked, How could the worlds population be improved genetically?

Richard attended Cambridge, where he earned bachelors, masters, and doctorate degrees in psychology. By the late 1960s, he was already wondering why certain groups seemed to build better societies than others, and was impressed by Arthur Jensens famous 1969 Harvard Educational Review paper on black-white IQ differences. Richards views were also influenced by Hans Eysenck and even by Sir Cyril Burt, though their first meeting was intimidating: Burt was an exa...

I was expecting it to help me help my mental health, and it didnt do anything. I just wasted so much time and all I did really was become a medical patient for life

A young male, who formerly identified as a transwoman, who was castrated and became a patient for life as part of gender-affirming care, wants to warn others not to follow in his footsteps. He discussed his story of resilience and learning to accept himself for who he is for the first time with Fox News Digital.

Kobe, whose name is being withheld for privacy reasons, had checked every box for what they call a trans adolescent. He was always effeminate and loved pink and playing with Barbies. If he was never exposed to gender ideology, he says hed probably would have just stayed a feminine boy. And theres nothing wrong with that.

I felt unlovable as an effeminate man in society and everything. A feminine boy, actually. I was never a man, Im trying to reclaim my manhood now and everything. Its hard. I have breasts, I have the hip development of a woman because I started the estrogen young. I have no gonads. You know, its hard. My skull never really masculinized.

Kobe, in retrospect, looks back at the medical interventions as a subconscious use of self-harm. During his early teenage years, he was struggling with internalized homophobia. I mean, I saw it as a way out of my homosexuality if that makes any sense.

However, he didnt realize these truths until he got his surgery.

I was like, Oh, wow, this is so great. Im locked in my transition But then everything started to crack and I couldnt ignore the complications, Kobe said. I couldnt ignore that I mutilated myself pretty much with the permission of a psychiatrist. Its insane now, looking back. Its just self-harm, you know.

Kobe first encountered the idea of switching genders on YouTube.

And I said, Oh, you can do this. You know, I dont have to be a gay guy. I dont have to be an embarrassment. And all this horrible stuff that I thought about my homosexuality, and it was like a light bulb. It was like, this is a way out, he sa...

Cassie B. Natural News July 2023

Russian lawmakers have approved the development of a digital ruble, and it could begin testing later this summer. While the bill has already passed through Russias higher legislative body, it must obtain a signature from President Vladimir Putin before it can go into effect.

The Russian central bank reportedly plans to launch a test of the digital ruble involving 15 lenders. Businesses and consumers alike will be given the ability to open a digital wallet using the central banks platform that they can access through Russian banks.

As a central bank digital currency, or CBDC, the digital ruble would be a centralized token whose value is tied to the countrys fiat currency.

The digital ruble pilot comes against the landscape of ongoing economic sanctions against the country due to its war with Ukraine that are making it challenging to conduct business. For example, major corporations like Visa and MasterCard have cut ties with Russia. Meanwhile, its domestic payment system, which is known as Mir, is only accepted by a few countries.

Although the digital rubles original planned use was for retail purposes, testing is expected to focus on cross-border payments as Russia looks for ways to skirt economic sanctions.

The Russian central bank first signaled its interest in developing a digital currency in 2017, but it was not considered a major priority at the time. However, in 2022, the Russian central bank announced that it would be introducing a digital ruble by 2024, implementing the currency in stages with the support of thorough testing and the development of appropriate infrastructure. The central bank indicated that the digital ruble would coexist with traditional non-cash and cash payment systems so that consumers would have greater flexibility.

An earlier launch of the pilot was delayed, and the bill was amended so the digital ruble could be used by foreigners rather than being limited to residents. The current framework gives the Russian central bank the position of primary operator of the infrastructure as well as responsibility for keeping stored assets secure.

Those who use the digital ruble will not be able to open savings accounts with it as it is intended to serve as a method of making transfers and payments. While individual customers will not be charged for payments or transfers with the CBDC, corporate clients will be charged a 0.3 percent fee.

Bank of Russia First Deputy Governor Olga Skorobogatova said every citizen should have access to digital rubles sometime between 2025 and 2027, with a more specific timeline depending on how prepared individual banks are to adopt the required infrastructure.

Over a thousand top scientists from around the world, including Nobel Prize winners, sign the World Climate Declaration. They state there is no climate emergency. It as a con to consolidate resources, and ultimately achieve mass depopulation. 

Readers of this Substack appreciate that in 1968 the One World Government created The Club of Rome. This technocratic node, along with the WEF, UN, CFR, Rockefeller Crime Syndicate, and various captured governments would promote the climate fear project in order to convince humanity that they are responsible for all things weather. By duping the population into believing such anti-science nonsense, society would live in an perpetual state of self-loathing and fear. This would allow for all those that Trust the Psyop to be far more easily controlled (think pandemic, DEATHVAX, child sex reassignment surgeries, etc.), and have a far greater propensity to not reproduce.

World Climate Declaration plus all signatories in pdf

Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. In particular, scientists should emphasize that their modeling output is not the result of magic: computer models are human-made. What comes out is fully dependent on what theoreticians and programmers have put in: hypotheses, assumptions, relationships, parameterizations, stability constraints, etc. Unfortunately, in mainstream climate science most of this input is undeclared.

To believe the outcome of a climate model is to believe what the model makers have put in.  This is precisely the problem of todays climate discussion to which climate models are central. Climate science has degenerated into a discussion based on beliefs, not on sound self-critical science. We should free ourselves from the nave belief in immature climate models. In future, climate research must give significantly more emphasis to empirical science.

There is no climate emergency

A global network of over 1501 scientists and professionals has prepared this urgent message. Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.

How many of us learn about Russia from a Russian point of view? Or about Syria from a loyal Syrian? Or Cuba from a Cuban supporter? Or Iran, Nicaragua, North Korea, China or many others on our current list of adversaries, from the point of view of those adversaries? We supposedly pride ourselves on listening to both or many sides of an issue before forming an opinion (or, better still, a sound analysis). Its the core of our system of justice, however flawed. Its why we value free speech.

Its not that the viewpoints we commonly hear are not different from each other, or that we dont hear from people with foreign accents from the parts of the world in question. Its that mainstream news, information and analysis are from a very narrow spectrum. The differences in the viewpoints are in the details, not the fundamentals. In the case of Ukraine, for example, the differences are mainly about how, and how much, to support Ukraine, not whether to do so. Do we hear the Russian view that they were compelled to come to the rescue of Ukraines Russian population, which was being massacred by racist, pro-Nazi elements running the Ukrainian government and supported by NATO? Not from the mainstream news, we dont.

Similarly, when we hear from nationals of adversary countries, our media rarely offer space or air time to persons who represent the adversarial point of view. We are rather more likely to hear from exiles seeking to overthrow the government and hoping for western support. When have we heard from a representative of Hezbollah or Hamas? Or of the government of China or North Korea, or the Sandinista government of Nicaragua? The point is not whether their point of view is correct or whether we decide that its reasonable or not, but rather whether we even know what it is, and whether we try to understand it. Isnt that what were supposed to do in order to negotiate with our adversaries, solve our differences and achieve peace? The closest we come to that in our media is to invite such representatives to an on-air ambush where we browbeat them and shout them down instead of listening to them.

But its worse than that. Our vaunted free press closes down the offices and facilities of journalists from countries or movements selected for vilification, and blocks their websites within the boundaries of our country. Thus, the Russian RT media channel and the Iranian Press TV, among others, are no longer permitted to operate within most western countries. Apparently, their words are considered hazardous to western ears. Similarly, many journalists and other individuals have found themselves banned from western-based social media for revealing unwelcome facts or contradicting official truth. Many have been banned from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other platforms.

Its not just...

A 13,685-page tranche of documents related to Modernas COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials released Tuesday contain details about the deaths of 16 trial participants, the prevalence of severe adverse events (SAEs) and other abnormalities.

The documents, previously submitted by Moderna to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as part of the licensing process for Modernas Spikevax COVID-19 vaccine, also exposed an utter lack of thoroughness in how the trials were conducted, according to Defending the Republic (DTR), a Dallas-based nonprofit that obtained the documents via a a still-pending Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against Moderna.

The documents, shared with The Defender in advance of their public release, are the first set of Moderna documents to be released as part of the lawsuit with approximately 8,000 more pages expected to follow later this year.

Travis Miller, a Fort Worth-based attorney representing DTR, told The Defender, These documents include over 13,500 pages relating to serious adverse event listings that  document injuries such as shingles and Bells palsy and other more serious conditions which we believe may be related to the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

DTR also received documents describing  experiments involving mRNA injections on rats in 2017-2018, prior to the onset of COVID-19. Miller told The Defender these studies revealed fetal abnormalities in pregnant rats.

Dr. Meryl Nass, an internist, biological warfare epidemiologist and member of the Childrens Health Defense scientific advisory committee, said the Moderna clinical trial data bear similarities to the outcomes seen in the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine trials, and raise several questions about safety and liability.

Nass told The Defender :

Both the preclinical (animal) studies of Moderna and of Pfizer revealed skeletal abnormalities in the offspring of vaccinated mice and rats at higher-than-normal rates and revealed vaccine components travelled throughout the body into all organs.

Rolling Stone

In the dead of winter, the Antarctic Peninsula, an 800-mile extension of the Antarctic continent, temperatures hit 32F. ¹

Global warming has been on a hot streak, accelerating its record-setting impact on the planet over the past couple of years. And even though its winter down below, Antarctica has joined the party. The icy continent, as large as the U.S. and Mexico combined, is the coldest continent on Earth with a mean annual interior temperature of -71F.

According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), despite mid-winter conditions, Antarcticas sea ice is at record lows; in fact, 17% below average for this time of year. Alas, only recently, within the past few years, scientists believed East Antarctica, the mother ship of the continent, solid, unwavering, the coldest place on Earth nearly impregnable to any kind of crash for the foreseeable future. But that theory has been tossed out because it does not hold up any longer. ²

Over the decades, ice shelf collapse in East Antarctica was not a concern. On the other hand, West Antarcticas geological setting is a different story with brand-name glaciers Pine Island Glacier and Thwaites Glacier tipsy, threatening, under scrutiny.

Yet, in 2022 the Conger Ice Shelf/East Antarctica bit the dust. The Conger collapse is the first observed in East Antarctica since the era of satellite imagery began in 1979, said Catherine Walker, a glaciologist at Woods Hole...

Zou meneer Breedveld nu werkelijk van mening zijn dat hij al die tijd in een democratie leeft? Het lijkt erop, nietwaar. Waarom dringt het niet door tot hem door dat de democratie allang vervangen is door een totalitaire technocratie, in handen van een schatrijke elite, die door de invoering van het neoliberalisme de kloof tussen arm en rijk almaar laat toenemen. Dat zeg ik niet, dit blijkt uit elk serieus wetenschappelijk onderbouwd onderzoek. Als er n partij is die niet deugt, is het wel D'66, een politieke stroming die geen beginsel bezit, en daardoor altijd in extremisme zal eindigen.

It was a strange experience watching the House hearing in which Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was testifying. The topic was censorship and how and to what extent federal government agencies under two administrations muscled social media companies to take down posts, ban users, and throttle content. The majority made its case.

What was strange was the minority reaction throughout. They tried to shut down RFK. They moved to go to executive session so that the public could not hear the proceedings. The effort failed. Then they shouted over his words when they were questioning him. They wildly smeared him and defamed him. They even began with an attempt to block him from speaking at all, and 8 Democrats voted to support that.

This was a hearing on censorship and they were trying to censor him. It only made the point.

It became so awful that RFK was compelled to give a short tutorial on the importance of free speech as an essential right, without which all other rights and freedoms are in jeopardy. Even those words he could barely speak given the rancor in the room. Its fair to say that free speech, even as a core principle, is in grave trouble. We cannot even get a consensus on the basics.

It seemed to viewers that RFK was the adult in the room. Put other ways, he was the preacher of fidelity in the brothel, the keeper of memory in a room full of amnesiacs, the practitioner of sanity in the sanatorium, or, as Mencken might say, the hurler of a dead cat into the temple.

It was oddly strange to hear the voice of wise statesmen in that hothouse culture of infantile corruption: it reminded the public just how far things have fallen. Notably, it was he and not the people who wanted him gagged who was citing scientific papers.

Despite the uproar surrounding the case, Judge Terry Doughtys order in Missouri v. Biden was straightforward. It prohibited government actors from colluding with social media companies to censor content containing protected free speech.

In other words, the defendants including the White House, the CDC, and the Department of Justice must obey the Constitution they swore to uphold by adhering to the First Amendment. The censorship regime responded with familiar doublethink: denying the censorship exists while arguing that it must continue.

On Tuesday, the court held a hearing to consider whether Judge Doughtys order should be reinstated. The oral arguments revealed the governments three-part strategy: deny, deflect, and defend. Its lawyers denied the established facts, deflected from the controversy, and defended its actions through outlandish justifications.

In doing so, they demonstrated the censorship apparatuss lack of remorse for stripping Americans of their constitutional liberties. Even worse, they insist that the totalitarian operations must continue.

1. Deny: Blame the Facts

At the hearing, government defendants maintained that plaintiffs have manufactured the case. Like their allies in the media, they argued that allegations of censorship were nothing more than an assortment of out-of-context quotes and select portions of documents that distort the record to build a narrative that the bare facts simply do not support.

The censorship is nonexistent, they insist. It is a thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory, in the words of Larry Tribe.

Unlike issues of legal interpretation, this is a factual matter. Either government actors colluded with Big Tech to suppress Americans free speech rights or they did not. Discovery revealed extensive documentation proving that they did, and the defendants make no effort to explain how Judge Doughtys 155-page order detailing dozens of violations of the First Amendment is merely an assortment of out-of-context quotes.

Journalists including Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger, and Alex Berenson have detailed the censorship industrial complex, the entangled web of government agencies, NGOs, and private-public partnerships that seek to control the free flow of information. But reviewing that series of connections and collusions is unnecessary the de...

We are entering the bloodletting phase of the climate change cult. Rolling blackouts, government restrictions on movement, mass marketing of artificial diets, these stratagems are just the tip of the iceberg.

A fiery hearing held Thursday by the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government unexpectedly became an opportunity for Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to reflect on civility and the seminal importance of free speech in the wake of Democratic committee members accusing him of being racist and anti-Semitic.

In his opening statement, Kennedy announced that he would be setting aside his prepared remarks so that he could address the accusations of racism and anti-Semitism leveled at him by ranking member Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-V.I.), Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schulz (D-Fla.), and others. Kennedys testimony ended up becoming an impassioned plea for Americans of all political persuasions to become more empathetic of each other and to have greater respect for the free speech protections enshrined in the Constitution.

Debate congenial, respectful debate is the fertilizer, its the water, its the sunlight for our democracy, he said, after noting that his speech in April announcing his Democratic 2024 presidential bid was deplatformed by YouTube. We need to be talking to each other.

Kennedy then referred to a letter signed by 102 of his fellow Democrats in Congress that attempted to get him barred from testifying at the hearing because of his supposed anti-Semitism, noting that this itself is evidence of the problem that this hearing was convened to address. This is an attempt to censor a censorship hearing.

Censorship is antithetical to our [Democratic] party, Kennedy continued. It was appalling to my father, to my uncle [John F. Kennedy], to FDR, Harry Truman, Thomas Jefferson. [Opposition to censorship] sets us apart from all the other forms of government. We need to be able to talk. The First Amendment was not written for easy speech. It was written for the speech that nobody likes you for.

He went on to observe that the Biden administration invented the word malinformation to censor him and others. There was no misinformation on my Instagram account. Everything I put on that account was cited and sourced by peer-reviewed publications or government databases. I was removed for something they called malinformation. Malinformation is information that is true but is inconvenient to the government, that they dont want people to hear. Thats antithetical to the values of our country.

Kennedy further explained that after he announced his candidacy for the presidency, it was harder for the administration and social media platforms to censor him. So now Im subject to this new form of censorshi...

Over the past several weeks, Ireland has been rocked by a scandal related to the significant undeclared earnings of Ryan Tubridy, the most prominent presenter on the public broadcaster of the 26-County State, RT, and the long-time host of its flagship talk show, The Late Late Show, until his departure earlier this year prior to the revelations related to his salary becoming public knowledge.

In response, Director General of RT Dee Forbes tendered her resignation, and both Tubridy and his agent Noel Kelly have been brought before a government tribunal to account for the undeclared earnings, something that has received significant media coverage across Ireland, including OJ Simpson-style live television coverage of the proceedings.

What has been noticeable however is how this extensive media attention lies in stark contrast to the virtually non-existent mainstream media coverage of RTs endorsement of the World Economic Forums Great Reset initiative over the past three years, intended to usher in a totalitarian global corporate dictatorship, where technology is used to stifle and censor debate.

From the outset of the Covid Pandemic in March 2020, Ireland, like numerous other countries, introduced stringent lockdowns under the guise of preventing the spread of an alleged virus. In reality, the forced closure of vast swathes of society served the purpose of making it virtually impossible for smaller businesses to operate, thus creating a greater dependence on corporate outlets such as Amazon.

As a result, the global lockdowns saw the greatest upwards transfer of wealth from the working and middle-classes in history, with corporate elements receiving upwards of $1tn in profit.
