A Message To Fauci: You Are In No Position To Dictate The тАЬGreater GoodтАЭ
By Brandon Smith

How does a fraud like Anthony Fauci find himself in the highest paid position in US bureaucracy? Well, FauciтАЩs career is a rather shocking testament to the reality of our government and our era тАУ The more corrupt you are the more favors and promotions you will receive.
Fauci is well known as a shameless opportunist among many within the medical research community. For example, the creator of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Test, Kary Mullis, had nothing but disdain for Fauci. Mullis was an interesting figure who valued scientific honesty above all else. He often warned that his PCR test could be exploited to inflate infection numbers by identifying remnants of a virus in a personтАЩs body without distinguishing whether or not they are actually тАЬinfectedтАЭ (sick). Sadly, his test is now being used in this exact manner today to exaggerate infection rates of the covid-19 virus.
In interviews Mullis has referred to Anthony Fauci as a тАЬliarтАЭ, arguing that he is a bureaucrat that тАЬdoesnтАЩt know anything about anythingтАЭ. Mullis noted that people like Fauci have an agenda that is outside of the public good, and that they have no problem misrepresenting the science to the populace to achieve their goals. It should also be noted that YouTube has made it their mission to consistently erase any traces of the Mullis interviews mentioning Fauci from their website.
It is also not surprising that FauciтАЩs rampant fear mongering over AIDS in the 1980тАЩs has gone mostly unmentioned by the mainstream media. His claim that 1 in 5 heterosexual Americans would be dead from AIDS by 1990 has been summarily memory-holed and the guy is treated like a scientific genius by the journalistic community in 2021.
If there is any justice in this world then Fauci should really go down in history as one of the primary initiators of the Covid pandemic, being that he was the head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that funded Gain of Function research on corona-viruses at the Wuhan Lab in China. This is the same research that Fauci blatantly lied about to congress on multiple occasions. And, the Wuhan lab is the same lab that evidence suggests was the ground zero source of the Covid-19 outbreak.
It is important to note that it was Fauci and the NIH that LIFTED the ban on gain of function research on deadly viruses in 2017, and it was well known around this time that the Level 4 Wuhan lab in China was not secure.
If anyone is responsible for global covid deaths, it is Fauci, the Chinese government and anyone else involved in that gain of function research which is primarily used to WEAPONIZE viruses under the guise of creating тАЬtherapeutics.тАЭ Gain of function research was originally banned under the Biological Weapons Convention which went into effect in 1975, unless it was being used for therapeutics. Now ALL gain of function research that is revealed publicly is labeled as therapeutics even if it is actually designed to produce biological weapons. This is sometimes referred to as тАЬdual use research.тАЭ
The prevailing narrative continues to be that even if the virus came from the Wuhan lab then it was surely an accident. I continue to believe according to the available evidence that Covid-19 was deliberately released in order to create a global crisis which could then be exploited by the establishment to introduce extreme controls over the populace to the point of medical totalitarianism. But of course, there is no smoking gun to prove this, only common sense.
If we take the notorious┬аEvent 201 into account┬аthings get a little weird. Event 201 was a war game held by the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Its claimed purpose was to simulate the effects of a deadly coronavirus pandemic тАЬspread by animalsтАЭ to humans and to develop the policies governments and their corporate partners should employ to deal with it. Interestingly, this simulation was held in October of 2019, only two months before the REAL THING happened. Nearly every policy suggested by the participants of Event 201 has now been adopted by most governments, including the social media censorship campaign against anyone that questions the origins of the virus and the safety of the experimental mRNA vaccines.
WEF founder Klaus Schwab was quick to announce at the start of the pandemic that Covid-19 was the тАЬperfect opportunityтАЭ to launch the тАЬGreat ResetтАЭ, which is a globalist plan to completely erase free market systems and replace them with a highly centralized socialist framework. The WEF envisions a world in which carbon related power is banned, all financial transactions become digital and are monitored and controlled by central authorities, and they have even suggested that one day people will тАЬown nothing and be happyтАЭ. This is a reference to the so-called тАЬshared economyтАЭ of the future, where the concept of personal property is abolished and all people will live in communal housing collectives where necessities are rationed or rented out to them by the government.
Something must have went wrong with covid, however, because the Event 201 death estimates for such a virus were around 65 million within the first year of the outbreak. This of course never happened with Covid-19. So, the resistance to the mandates has been high, or much higher apparently than the globalists expected. They have been forced to engage in an endless fear campaign for the past 18 months over a virus with a mere 0.26% median death rate. It is a virus that well over 99.7% of all people will survive and it has an extremely low chance of long term effects on those who do actually end up hospitalized. In the majority of states the hospitalization rates are between 10-35 people for every 100,000 people infected.
These numbers come from the CDC and the medical establishment at large, yet they are ignored by propagandists like Fauci, just as Fauci has continued to ignore natural immunity as a factor in covid mandates. It might seem bizarre to almost any scientist, doctor and virologist not paid by the government, but Fauci has argued that natural immunity should be ignored when compared to vaccination. Multiple studies from around the world now show that natural immunity is up to 27 times more effective at preventing covid infection than the vaccines, but those with natural immunity are considered a threat to others under the new mandates unless they are also vaxxed.
This simply makes no sense from a scientific perspective until you realize that the mandates are not about science, they are about authoritarianism. Fauci is the US front man for a campaign of medical tyranny being imposed in every nation; this is why he does not care about natural immunity. The idea of it is inconvenient to his narrative, so he pretends it is inconsequential.
It is perhaps ironic that Fauci himself is becoming inconsequential as he is slowly fading away from the media limelight. I have noticed that ever since the NIH gain of function information was released to the public Fauci has been in the media less prominently. A documentary produced by National Geographic and soon to be distributed by Disney+ portrays the conman as a misunderstood savior and is sure to be a trash fire. That said, it does represent a clear last-ditched effort to save the manтАЩs false reputation.
There is a good reason for all of this. FauciтАЩs distaste for personal freedom has been well documented and is making him extremely unpopular. He even recently argued on CNN in favor of vaccine mandates using this perverse position:
тАЬThere comes a time when you do have to give up what you consider your individual right of making your own decision for the greater good of society.тАЭ
Fauci and his globalist ilk can be distilled down to this single mantra: Do as you are told for the greater good. But who gets to determine what the тАЬgreater goodтАЭ is? IsnтАЩt it disturbing that itтАЩs always the same elitists that end up in that position? I know that leftists in particular love the idea of the vaccine mandates and worship Fauci, and they say we skeptics should тАЬlisten to the scienceтАЭ, but Fauci is not a scientist, heтАЩs a door-to-door salesman, and as IтАЩve noted above the REAL science does not support the arguments for forced vaccinations or lockdowns.
Hell, I keep asking the same questions on the mandates in these articles and not a single leftists or pro-vax proponent has come up with a valid or logical response, but out of morbid curiosity I would love to see Fauci give his answers:
1) Covid has a median death rate of only 0.26%, so why should we take ANY risk on an experimental mRNA vaccine with no long term testing to prove its safety?
2) Why not give support to the 0.26% of people actually at risk from dying due to covid instead of spending billions of dollars on Big Pharma producing a rushed vaccine that you plan to force on the 99.7% of people who are not at risk?
3) In majority vaccinated countries like Israel, over 60% of covid hospitalizations are fully vaccinated people. The exponential rise of fully vaccinated patients in multiple nations suggests that the vaccines do not work. Why should we take a vaccine that has been proven not to be effective?
4) If you believe the vaccines actually do work despite all evidence to the contrary, then why should vaccinated people fear anything from unvaccinated people? How are we a threat to them?
5) If the vaccines donтАЩt work, then doesnтАЩt this mean the mandates are pointless and the people that are most safe are the people with natural immunity? ShouldnтАЩt we be applauding the naturally immune and encouraging treatment instead of useless vaccination?
6) Since the vaccines actually donтАЩt work according to the data, isnтАЩt it time to stop blindly dismissing treatments like Ivermectin and focus on trials and studies that research these alternatives? Why the vitriolic propaganda campaign to label Ivermectin nothing more than тАЬhorse pasteтАЭ when it is actually a long used Nobel Prize winning treatment for human ailments? Is it because the experimental covid vaccines would lose their emergency authorization status under the FDA if effective treatments exist?
7) Why are government funded scientists so keen on defending Big Pharma to the point of ignoring all data that contradicts their claims? Are you just embarrassed of being wrong, or are you corrupt?
8) Who decided you are qualified to determine what constitutes the тАЬgreater good?тАЭ
Globalists and errand boys like Fauci will never be able to answer these questions without twisting the narrative. They will say тАЬWhat about the 700,000 dead in the US?тАЭ to play on the idea that the freedom minded lack empathy for their fellow man. Of course, around 40% of those deaths are patients from nursing homes with preexisting conditions, so we have no idea if they died from covid or from their previous ailments. Also, millions of people die every year from a plethora of communicable diseases including the flu and pneumonia, and we never tried to lock down the entire country and crush peopleтАЩs civil rights because of this.
If we maintained a running tally of flu and pneumonia deaths year after year as we are doing with covid, then the ever increasing number of bodies would seem just as forbidding. Society cannot function when it is preoccupied with death.
Yes, around 0.26% of people die from covid, but life goes on for everyone else. Our freedoms are more important than your irrational fears. Our freedoms are more important than globalist agendas for centralization. Our freedoms ARE the greater good. Without them our society dies, and as our society dies millions more people will die from the inevitable collapse and tyranny that will follow; far more than will ever die from covid.
This is why nothing Fauci says has any relevance to us. He is so transparent in his corruption that he might as well be invisible. We will continue to ignore his declarations and admonitions and we will continue to fight back against the vaccine passports and restrictions. When all is said and done, if Fauci, Biden and other globalist puppets try to use force to impose their agenda upon us then there will come a day very soon when they will be held accountable for their crimes against humanity, and then they will wish they were invisible.
Without admitting it, we are already converted to transhumanism
By Thierry Meyssan
Source: Voltairenet.org
The world is changing very fast. During the Covid epidemic, money has been concentrated in a few hands. The new oligarchs are transhumanists. Without realising it, we have already accepted their ideology and are beginning to put it into practice. Western doctors have given up trying to cure this disease and it seems obvious to us to bet everything on messenger RNA. It does not matter that this strategy is fatal. Henceforth, this is how we think.
The containment, due to the political reaction to Covid-19, favoured a global redistribution of wealth in favour of a few Internet players (Microsoft, Alphabet…). At the same time, investment funds (Vanguard, Blackrock, etc.), which were already managing astronomical sums and could impose their interests on states, became the property of a few families. There are now stratospheric wealth gaps between a few super-billionaires and the people.
The middle classes, which had been slowly eroding since the fall of the USSR and the beginning of economic globalisation, are gradually disappearing. In practice, democratic systems cannot withstand these sudden and gigantic wealth gaps.
As always in periods of change in political systems, the social class that aspires to power imposes its point of view. In this case, transhumanism. The idea that scientific progress will enable a transformation of human biology to the point of overcoming death. Almost all of the worldтАЩs fifty largest fortunes seem to subscribe to this fantasy. For them, technology will replace many people in the same way that science has replaced superstition.
In order to impose their new Doxa, these very large fortunes are starting to control what we think and to force us to act according to this new ideology. The most recent phenomenon is precisely our reaction to the Covid-19 pandemic. Historically, in all previous epidemics without exception, doctors sought to cure the sick. That was the old world. In the new transhumanist world, no one is to be cured, all are to be protected with a new technology, messenger RNA. Most developed states forbid their doctors to treat their patients and their pharmacists to sell drugs that might help them (hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, etc.). A leading medical journal, The Lancet, even published an article claiming that an old drug used by millions of people was killing Covid patients who took it. The Internet giants censor accounts that promote it. Everything must be done to make messenger RNA the one and only option.
I am not a doctor. I donтАЩt know what these products are worth. IтАЩm just a man who observes the way in which a debate is closed before it has begun. I am not interfering in the scientific debate, but I am observing the closure of the debate.
The messenger RNA case against doctors is not over, however. President Joe Biden held a virtual global summit on September 22, 2021 to distribute 500 million packets of messenger RNA тАЩvaccineтАЩ. To everyoneтАЩs surprise, the states that were to be the recipients of this gift boycotted the summit. They do not believe that messenger RNA is a solution for them [1].
To understand them, all you need is a calculator: the states that went all in on messenger RNA had 20 to 25 times more deaths per million population than those that allowed care by doctors.
Transhumanism already fascinates us because we donтАЩt ask about the ban on Covid care. It does not have the same influence outside the West.
PROPAGANDA
History has shown us that in order to impose a new regime, you must first get people to act in accordance with a new ideology. Once the subjects have started to comply, it becomes very difficult for them to back down. The game is up. This is called propaganda. Propaganda is not about controlling discourse, but about using it to change behaviour [2].
As we have all given up on experimenting with Covid care, we have all signed up to messenger RNA and now the health pass. We are ripe to enter this new regime. It is absurd to call it a “dictatorship”; an old world concept. We do not yet know what this new regime will be, yet we are already building it.
States are threatened by the very large fortunes mentioned above, which are generally much more powerful than they are. States have mainly fixed costs and very little room for manoeuvre. On the contrary, the new very large fortunes can withdraw their investments here at any time and take them there. Very few Sovereign Wealth Funds can compete with them and thus still be independent of them.
THE CORPORATE MEDIA
The corporate media have been very active in this project. For a long time, but especially since the end of the Cold War, journalism has defined itself as a search for тАЩobjectivityтАЩ, even though it is known to be impossible.
In court, witnesses are not asked to be тАЩobjectiveтАЩ. But they are required to “tell the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth”. It is known that each person has only perceived a part of the Truth according to his or her own condition. Thus, in an accident involving a pedestrian and a car, most of the pedestrian witnesses agree with the pedestrian, while most of the motorist witnesses say that the car was in the right. It is only the sum of the evidence that tells us what happened.
The corporate media reacted to the influx of new actors into their profession (blogs and social networks) first by trying to disqualify them: these people are touching, but they are not trained enough to compare themselves to us. Professional journalists have made a distinction between freedom of expression (for all) and freedom of the press (for them alone). One thing leading to another, they have set themselves up as schoolmasters, the only ones capable of giving good and bad marks to those who try to imitate them. To do this, they imagined that they would check their assertions (fact check) as if their work were comparable to a television game show.
Worried that politicians would side with their constituents rather than the very rich, the corporate media have extended fact checking to their political guests. There are countless programmes where a leader is subjected to editorial fact-checking. Political discourse, which should be an analysis of societyтАЩs problems and how to solve them, is reduced to a series of figures that can be checked against statistical yearbooks.
The corporate media have asserted themselves first as a тАЩFourth EstateтАЩ and then, after absorbing the others, as the main Estate. This notion comes from the 18th century British politician and philosopher, Edmund Burke. The тАЩFourth EstateтАЩ was constituted alongside the Spiritual, the Temporal and the Commons (the simple people). Burke, in the name of his liberal conservatism, did not dispute its legitimacy. Today everyone can see that it is not based on a value, but on the money of its owners.
The choice of subjects covered by the corporate media is constantly shrinking. It is slowly moving away from analysis and concentrating on verifiable data only.
Twenty years ago, for example, newspapers that challenged my work would present it summarily and then immediately disqualify it as тАЩconspiratorialтАЩ. Today, they no longer dare to summarise my theses, because they have no way of тАЩfact-checkingтАЩ them. So they just classify me as тАЩunreliableтАЩ. Faced with younger, non-professional journalists, the corporate media limit themselves to insults. As a result, there is a growing gap between them.
This phenomenon is particularly evident with the тАЩyellow vestsтАЩ, ordinary citizens who were protesting against this sociological evolution of the world even before containment allowed it to triumph. I remember a debate on a 24-hour news channel where a member of parliament asked a yellow vest what allowance would satisfy the protesters, while the yellow vest replied, “We donтАЩt need allowances, we want a fairer system.” The corporate media quickly removed individuals who, like this lady, were thinking about the problems of society and replaced them with others who were making concrete and immediate demands. They did everything to censor their thinking.
GOOD AND BAD GRADES
Another solution envisaged by the new ruling elite is to re-establish the Index librorum prohibitorum. In the past, the Church – which was not only a community of believers but also a political power – published a list of books that were censored for all but its clerics. It wanted to protect the People from the errors and lies of the protesters. This only lasted for a while. In the backlash, the believers deprived the Church of its political power.
Former Nato and Bush Administration officials set up a New York-based company, NewsGuard, to compile a list of unreliable websites (including ours) [3]. Or NATO, the European Union, Bill Gates and a few others have created CrossCheck, which finances, among other things, Les D├йcodeurs du Monde [4]. It seems that the exponential multiplication of information sources has ruined this project.
A more recent method consists in defining a priori, not who is reliable, but what the Truth is.
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, has just set up a “Mission against disinformation and conspiracy”, its president, the sociologist G├йrald Bronner, considers that the State should set up a body to establish the Truth on the basis of “scientific consensus”. He considers it unacceptable that the word of “a university professor is equivalent to that of a yellow vest” [5].
This method is not new. In the 17th century, Galileo claimed that the Earth revolved around the Sun and not the other way round. G├йrald BronnerтАЩs predecessors opposed him with various passages from the Holy Scriptures, which were then considered a revealed source of knowledge. Then the тАЩscientific consensusтАЩ led to his condemnation by the Church.
The history of science is full of examples of this type: almost all the great discoverers were opposed by the тАЩscientific consensusтАЩ of their time. Most of the time their ideas were not able to triumph with demonstrations, but with the death of their opponents: the leaders of the “scientific consensus”.

In a Dark Wood

Behold the photo (above) showing President тАЬJoe BidenтАЭ getting his booster shot of the Covid-19 тАЬvaccine,тАЭ with the news media clustered to the left of what is apparently a stage-set built in a larger chamber. Do you possibly ask yourself: why bother to build a set for this event in or under the White House somewhere тАФ including even fake daylit windows тАФ when there are any number of actual rooms in the White House perfectly suited to holding this grand event in real daylight? What is going on here?
And, by the way, how do we know that тАЬJBтАЭ is getting an actual mRNA booster? Or is it just 10 CCs of saline solution? Is not the syringe, after all, just another prop in the show? The video of this event was broadcast on cable TV channels and corporate media websites everywhere. None of them commented on the strange artificiality of the staging. And so, the mystery abidesтАж.
It only reinforces the creeping suspicion that absolutely everything about the тАЬJoe BidenтАЭ regime is fake. And malevolently so. How else could it be that so many bad things are happening at the same time in this country if there was not some faction seeking to destroy it?
For instance, the vaccine mandates for medical personnel. In upstate New York, WNYT-TV reported yesterday that 200 employees of Albany Med, a large, regional teaching hospital, are placed on seven dayтАЩs unpaid leave prior to getting fired for refusing the vaccine. Andrew CuomoтАЩs replacement, new Governor Kathy Hochul, has blocked unemployment benefits for fired nurses and technicians if they persist in evading the vax. Doctors are included in the mix, too.
Of course, large numbers of health care workers getting kicked out of their jobs will only make it more difficult to care for patients тАФ with Covid or any other health problem тАФ so how does this policy help anyone? (Unless you consider that, with fewer staff on-duty, fewer Covid in-patients will be subjected to the medical malpractice of being placed on ventilators and treated with the killer drug Remdesivir.) Not only has effective early treatment with other drugs been banned from the official medical standards-of-practice across the USA, but mere talk about it has been banned, notably by GoogleтАЩs YouTube app.
This coercion of health care workers is going on all over the country, of course, not just in New York state. These nurses and techs have been working around Covid patients for going on two years, and many of them have gotten the disease, with symptoms or without, conferring natural immunity. So, what is the point of forcing the vaxes on them? It is also a fact that vaccinated people are susceptible to catching the disease, and that, in any case, the vaccinated carry heavier viral loads than the un-vaxed, making them more efficient spreaders. It is also a fact that mass vaccination in the midst of a pandemic promotes the mutation of new variant viruses that increasingly are not affected by the vaccines.
Thursday night, CNN ran a segment with its house doctor, Sanjay Gupta, hectoring one Andrea Babinski, a La Crosse, Wisconsin, nurse who is quitting her job at Gundersen Hospital there rather than take the vax shot. Dr. Gupta, acting all perplexed, asked her why. Ms. Babinski said she was concerned about blood-clotting. Dr. Gupta dismissed her concern, saying, тАЬIf youтАЩve got a clotting disorder, you should get the vaccine.тАЭ ReallyтАж?
After the segment, Dr. Gupta and Anderson Cooper shook their heads in amused puzzlement over the nurseтАЩs obdurate foolishness. They are apparently uninformed that the spike protein produced by the vaccine is known to bind onto the endothelial lining of blood vessels and promote blood clots, leading to a range of lethal events such as myocardial infarction and cerebral hemorrhage тАФ heart attack and stroke тАФ plus a broad array of organ damage and neurological disorders.
The Medicare Tracking System states that 48,465 people have died within 14 days of receiving a vax shot. Many had co-morbidities, of course, so not all the deaths can be directly attributed to the vaccines, but the public health authorities are averse to autopsies that might establish the truth of the matter. Anyway, the CDC has ruled recently that they will only count people more than 14 days out from a shot as being considered officially vaccinated тАФ so none of those aforementioned deaths would have counted as vaccinated persons under the rule. Do you see how they are gaming the statistics to keep Americans as misinformed as possible?
Despite all the efforts to bamboozle the public, the тАЬJoe BidenтАЭ regime has about run out the string on Covid paranoia, and wrung all of the political usefulness out of it. Going forward, it will only backfire on them. Do they think that wrecking hospital services while depriving thousands of health care workers of their incomes is a winning strategy? These are existential threats to US citizens.
Everything else under тАЬJoe BidenтАЩsтАЭ watch looks like a pyromaniac seeking to burn down the country. Over 10,000 Haitian interlopers have been surreptitiously dispersed from Del Rio, Texas, to nether regions of the USA. The government made no effort to vaccinate them тАФ what does that tell you? Over 100,000 more invading opportunists from all over the world are reportedly heading to the southern border. A month after the fall of Afghanistan, and after this weekтАЩs hearings in both the House and the Senate, still nobody knows who gave the insane order to surrender Bagram Air Force Base outside Kabul. The DemocratsтАЩ dishonest тАЬinfrastructureтАЭ bill is wilting in Congress. Food and energy prices are rising fast, with shortages on the horizon. The capital markets are wobbling. And Special Counsel John Durham is back on the scene with more actions against Hillary ClintonтАЩs favorite law firm, Perkins Coie, facilitators of the seditious RussiaGate campaign. Put it all together and you have a mechanism that looks like a тАЬJoe BidenтАЭ toaster.
Off in a far corner of the News-O-Sphere, someone affecting to be John McAfee dwells on a Telegram channel labeled тАЬOfficialMcAfee.тАЭ John McAfee, for those who donтАЩt know, was the wealthy inventor of antivirus computer software who found himself at odds with the US government, went rogue, and supposedly committed suicide in Spain last June. Now, he has apparently turned up on this social media app in a series of videos and cryptic info drops. Whether he is actually still alive, or perhaps recorded these videos before taking his life, is not known. But he had threatened to release terabytes of digital evidence against his antagonists, including video of sexual misconduct among well-known political figures connected to the late Jeffrey Epstein, as well as incriminating documents from the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign files from 2016. Those info dumps have commenced and the figure who appears to be John McAfee in the Telegram videos says that the dumps will contain incrementally more shocking material for weeks to come.
All of this activity is obviously weird to an extreme never before seen in national affairs prior to the deep fake era тАФ to the degree that reality is almost impossible to establish for now. We are a people lost in a dark wood. When you are lost, the first thing you must do is stop your useless, self-defeating locomotion, hunker down in place, and carefully assess whatтАЩs around you. Even if everything else is murky and perplexing, one thing is known: there is a way out of these dark woods. Remain calm and alert and it will reveal itself.
Australia Continues Its Plunge Into Authoritarianism And Military Brinkmanship
By Caitlin Johnstone
Source: CaitlinJohnstone.com
Australia has joined the US and UK in an тАЬenhanced trilateral security partnershipтАЭ called AUKUS with the unspoken-yet-obvious goal of coordinating escalations against China. Antiwar reports:
President Biden and the leaders of Australia and the UK┬аannounced a new military agreement on Wednesday┬аaimed at countering China. The pact, known as AUKUS, will focus on the sharing of sensitive military technologies, and the first initiative will focus on getting Australia nuclear-powered submarines.
US officials┬аspeaking to┬аCNN┬аdescribed the effort to share nuclear propulsion with another country as an тАЬexceedingly rare stepтАЭ due to the sensitivity of the technology. тАЬThis technology is extremely sensitive. This is, frankly, an exception to our policy in many respects,тАЭ one unnamed official said.
This deal will replace a planned $90 billion program to obtain twelve submarines designed by France, an obnoxious expenditure either way when a quarter of Australians are struggling to make ends meet during a pandemic that is four times more likely to kill Australians who are struggling financially. This is just the latest in CanberraтАЩs continually expanding policy of feeding vast fortunes into WashingtonтАЩs standoff with Beijing at the expense of its own people.
If readers are curious why Australia would simultaneously subvert its own economic interests by turning against its┬аprimary trading partner┬аand its own security interests by feeding into dangerous and unnecessary provocations, I will refer them once again to the┬аjarringly honest explanation┬аby American political analyst John Mearsheimer at a debate hosted by the Australian think tank Center for Independent Studies in 2019.┬аMearsheimer told his audience that the US is going to do everything it can to halt ChinaтАЩs rise and prevent it from becoming the regional hegemon in the East, and that Australia should align with the US in that battle or else it would face the wrath of Washington.
тАЬThe question thatтАЩs on the table is what should AustraliaтАЩs foreign policy be in light of the rise of China,тАЭ Mearsheimer said. тАЬIтАЩll tell you what I would suggest if I were an Australian.тАЭ
Mearsheimer claimed that China is going to continue to grow economically and will convert this economic power into military power to dominate Asia тАЬthe way the US dominates the Western HemisphereтАЭ, and explained why he thinks the US and its allies have every ability to prevent that from happening.
тАЬNow the question is what does this all mean for Australia?тАЭ Mearsheimer said. тАЬWell, youтАЩre in a quandary for sure. Everybody knows what the quandary is. And by the way youтАЩre not the only country in East Asia thatтАЩs in this quandary. You trade a lot with China, and that trade is very important for your prosperity, no question about that. Security-wise you really want to go with us. It makes just a lot more sense, right? And you understand that security is more important than prosperity, because if you donтАЩt survive, youтАЩre not gonna prosper.тАЭ
тАЬNow some people say thereтАЩs an alternative: you can go with China,тАЭ said Mearsheimer. тАЬRight you have a choice here: you can go with China rather the United States. ThereтАЩs two things IтАЩll say about that. Number one, if you go with China you want to understand you are our enemy. You are then deciding to become an enemy of the United States. Because again, weтАЩre talking about an intense security competition.тАЭ
тАЬYouтАЩre either with us or against us,тАЭ he continued. тАЬAnd if youтАЩre trading extensively with China, and youтАЩre friendly with China, youтАЩre undermining the United States in this security competition. YouтАЩre feeding the beast, from our perspective. And that is not going to make us happy. And when we are not happy you do not want to underestimate how nasty we can be. Just ask Fidel Castro.тАЭ
Nervous laughter from the Australian think tank audience punctuated MearsheimerтАЩs more incendiary observations. The CIA is known to have made numerous attempts to assassinate Castro.
So there you have it. Australia┬аis not aligned with the US to protect itself from China. Australia is aligned with the US to protect itself from the US.
This new move happens as Northern Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner announces his governmentтАЩs policy for Covid-19 restrictions once the territoryтАЩs population is 80 percent vaccinated which will include тАЬlockoutsтАЭ during outbreaks wherein people will only be allowed to work and move freely in society if they verify that they are vaccinated using check-in measures which Gunner literally calls a тАЬfreedom passтАЭ.
тАЬIтАЩll say it again and again. If you want your life to continue close to normal, get your jab,тАЭ Gunner said. тАЬFor vaccinated people, the check-in app will basically be your freedom pass. For people who make the choice to not get vaccinated, no vax means no freedom pass. WeтАЩre working with other governments now to get this technology ready.тАЭ
This is in alignment with what weтАЩve been told to expect as the rest of Australia prepares to roll out the use of vaccine passports.
And we continue to see other authoritarian escalations in Australia which have nothing to do with Covid as well. Authorities have been┬аproposing new legal provisions┬аwhich will allow Australian visas to be cancelled and citizenship revoked in entirely secret proceedings based on information provided by secretive government agencies.┬аThe horrifying┬аIdentify and Disrupt┬аbill which allows Australian police to hack peopleтАЩs devices, collect, delete┬аand alter┬аtheir information and log onto their social media was passed through Parliament at┬аjaw-dropping speed┬аlast month. Neither of these escalations are Covid-related.
People who just started paying attention to Australian authoritarianism during Covid often get the impression that itтАЩs entirely about the virus, but as we discussed previously the actual fundamental problem is that Australia is the only so-called democracy without any kind of statute or bill of rights to protect the citizenry from these kinds of abuses. This is why Australia is looked upon as so freakish by the rest of the western world right now: because, in this sense, it is. People call it a тАЬfree countryтАЭ, but there has never been any reason to do so.
Covid has certainly played a major role in the exacerbation of Australian authoritarianism, but itтАЩs a problem that was well underway long before the outbreak. Back in 2019 the CIVICUS Monitor had already downgraded Australia from an тАЬopenтАЭ country to one where civil space has тАЬnarrowedтАЭ, citing new laws to expand government surveillance, prosecution of whistleblowers, and raids on media organizations.
This slide into military brinkmanship and authoritarian dystopia shows no signs of stopping. The abuses of the powerful will continue to grow more egregious until the people open their eyes to whatтАЩs going on and begin taking action to steer us away from the existential dangers we are hurtling toward on multiple fronts. If there is any good news to be had here, itтАЩs that if such a miracle ever occurs it will then be possible to immediately course correct and start building a healthy society together.
THEY ARE CREATING THE BIGGEST WITCH HUNT IN AMERICAN HISTORY
By Michael Snyder
Source: Waking Times
Prior to this pandemic, if you wanted to weed out all of the тАЬtroublemakersтАЭ, тАЬindependent thinkersтАЭ and тАЬnon-conformistsтАЭ from our society, how would you have done it?
I suppose that sending everyone a questionnaire asking them what they believe would be one way to do it, but of course a lot of people would give false answers and many others would simply ignore the questionnaire. Social media profiles contain a wealth of information, but many тАЬnon-conformistsтАЭ are not even on social media and digging through all of that data would take an extraordinary amount of time, money and energy. Up until just recently, there just hasnтАЩt been an easy and efficient way to identify those that are not eager servants of the system.
But now the COVID vaccines have changed everything. These injections are the perfect litmus test, because тАЬtroublemakersтАЭ, тАЬindependent thinkersтАЭ and тАЬnon-conformistsтАЭ are pretty much the only ones that are refusing the shots at this point. This makes it exceptionally easy to divide American citizens into two categories, and it also gives authorities a perfect excuse to push all of those тАЬtroublemakersтАЭ, тАЬindependent thinkersтАЭ and тАЬnon-conformistsтАЭ to the fringes of society.
As I discussed yesterday, I was literally sick to my stomach as I pondered the implications of BidenтАЩs tyrannical new decrees. Originally, Biden and other Democratic leaders were against any sort of vaccine mandates, but now I think that they have realized that mandates are a tool that they can use to fundamentally reshape our society.
If you donтАЩt understand where I am going with this, just keep reading, because it will become extremely clear by the end of this article.
BidenтАЩs new decrees cover almost every major institution in our society. Just think about it. Any тАЬmajor institutionтАЭ is almost certainly going to be employing more than 100 people, and all such organizations are covered by BidenтАЩs mandates.
In addition to businesses of various sizes, we are also talking about colleges, schools, churches, non-profits, political entities, sports teams and charitable organizations.
Millions of Americans that are employed by such institutions could be forced to leave their positions if they refuse to comply with what Biden is demanding.
And the rules that the Biden administration is coming up with will require the institutions to be the enforcers of these draconian new measures.
Your bosses will be forced to make sure that you are submitting to the new rules, because if not they could be hit with massive fines.
In my last article I used the word тАЬsickeningтАЭ to describe what Biden is trying to do to all of us, but the truth is that word is not nearly strong enough.
What we are facing is a complete and total national nightmare, and it isnтАЩt going to end any time soon.
BidenтАЩs new mandates are even stricter for employees of the federal government. Previously, employees of the federal government were at least given the option to undergo regular testing if they didnтАЩt want to be vaccinated, but now that option is being taken away.
So now millions of federal employees will have to choose between their principles and their careers.
And considering the fact that so many of these people are barely providing for their families right now, a lot of really heartbreaking choices are going to have to be made.
Earlier today, I posted a video from a woman that works for the U.S. Treasury Department. After all these years, she publicly announced on social media that she is going to leave her job because of BidenтАЩs new mandates.
And countless others will follow her out the door.
BidenтАЩs new decrees will also force nearly everyone in the entire healthcare industry to either get vaccinated or give up their careers.
What a horribly cruel thing to do.
Biden is essentially putting a gun to the heads of these people. So many of them spent an enormous amount of time, energy and money to get their educations, and now Biden is telling them that they have to sacrifice everything that they have worked for if they will not comply with his demands.
As I pointed out yesterday, healthcare workers wonтАЩt just be forced out of their current jobs. Because virtually every health care provider in the entire country accepts Medicaid and Medicare, those that refuse to comply will essentially be banned from the entire industry.
At a time when a shortage of qualified workers is causing chaos throughout our economy, BidenтАЩs tyrannical orders could force millions of Americans to suddenly lose their jobs. This is an incredibly foolish thing to do, and it could have very serious ramifications in the years ahead.
Sadly, it wonтАЩt just be a few people quitting their jobs. A poll that was just conducted discovered that 72 percent of unvaccinated Americans said that they would quit their current jobs rather than be vaccinatedтАж
Many making this argument have cited a Washington Post-ABC News poll released over the weekend. It showed that just 18 percent unvaccinated people whose employers donтАЩt currently have mandates said they would likely get vaccinated if their employer required it. About 7 in 10 (72 percent) said that, if they couldnтАЩt get a medical or religious exemption, they would probably quit rather than submit to the requirement.
I donтАЩt know what is going on behind the scenes, but it is my opinion that Kamala Harris has had a lot of influence in the recent decisions that Biden has been making.
She has always had authoritarian tendencies, and if she ever becomes president that will truly be a catastrophic scenario.
Needless to say, BidenтАЩs new mandates are going to cause great anxiety for millions upon millions of people, and a recent CNN poll found that the mood of the country was already heading in a very negative directionтАж
The new poll finds 69% of Americans say things in the country today are going badly, below the pandemic-era high of 77% reached in January just before President Joe Biden took office but well above the 60% who felt that way in a March CNN poll.
And 62% say that economic conditions in the US are poor, up from 45% in April and nearly as high as the pandemic-era peak of 65% reached in May 2020.
My hope is that Republican governors will fight BidenтАЩs new decrees with everything that they have got.
Because the truth is that this is one of the most critical moments in U.S. history.
Our most basic liberties and freedoms are under full assault, and we really are descending into full-blown tyranny.
If BidenтАЩs new mandates are not overturned by the courts, millions of Americans that love liberty and freedom could be forced from their jobs.
It would truly be a witch hunt of unprecedented size and scope, and it would represent the greatest purge of тАЬtroublemakersтАЭ, тАЬindependent thinkersтАЭ and тАЬnon-conformistsтАЭ that any of us have ever witnessed.
Why Is Biden Mandating a Vaccine that Does Not Protect Against Covid?
By Paul Craig Roberts
Source: PaulCraigRoberts.org
The dumbshit American population sat on their butts and allowed a few Democrat gangsters to steal a presidential election and stick in the Oval Office a complete moron.
Doing his mastersтАЩ bidding, the moron is directing the Labor Department to rule that companies with 100 or more employees must require employees to be vaccinated or have weekly testing. (The current PCR test in use is being abandoned as it produces false positives that have greatly exaggerated the number of Covid cases.)
The moron is a puppet on a stick that gets moved around by the monied interests that rule us. The moron has been directed to get all Americans тАЬvaccinatedтАЭ with a тАЬvaccineтАЭ that the public health authorities themselves admit does not protect against Covid or the Delta variant or any of the other variants. They have stated as much. Their solution for a тАЬvaccineтАЩ that does not work is more of the тАЬvaccine.тАЭ Fauci says the population will need booster shots every 8 months forever. The Israeli тАЬhealth ministerтАЭ is already pushing Israelis to have a fourth booster shot with more to come.
In other words, neither Fauci, the Israeli government, the elite controlling the narrative, nor the puppet on the stick are sufficiently intelligent to realize that what they are saying is: If you are doubly vaccinated (until the other day тАЬfully vaccinatedтАЭ and assured of protection), today you no longer qualify as vaccinated, and you might be more vulnerable to Covid and its variants than the unvaccinated. Moreover, as the Israeli тАЬhealth ministerтАЭ has said, you are not vaccinated even if you have the first booster shot, the third shot. You must have a fourth booster. Fauci has already said that you will have to have boosters forever.
In other words, the vaccine, whatever it is, is most certainly not a vaccine against Covid or its variants.
In view of these acknowledged facts, what is the point of the mad-hat vaccination campaign?
Is it to maximize adverse vaccine reaction deaths and illnesses? As of July, the combined adverse vaccine reaction databases of the US, EU, and UK reported more than 5 million adverse reactions and 40,000 deaths. This information until recently was available on Google, but Google now hides it, and a search only pulls up Big Pharma propaganda that adverse reactions are тАЬrare.тАЭ In other words, the accomplices to murder at Google disavow the official adverse reaction reporting systems and suppress them for тАЬspreading misinformation.тАЭ
The numbers of adverse reactions and deaths associated with the Covid Vaccine are far greater than the officially reported numbers. Many experts agree that few adverse reactions are reported. Hospitals have financial incentives to call adverse reactions Covid cases. Vaccine advocates refuse to admit that there are adverse reactions. Among some age groups the vaccine has done more harm than Covid. These known facts are kept out of the media.
Then there is the other problem that is being kept secret. The vaccine itself is the cause of the variants. As I have previously reported, the vaccine enables the virus to escape immune response. Thus, Covid cannot be controlled by mRNA vaccination.
The bottom line is:┬а┬аThe entirety of the Covid policy is, and has been,┬аcounterproductive and greatly harmful to public health, the economy, and civil liberty, and the response of the American Elite is to continue the harm.
The Covid policy of the United States is a complete and total betrayal of the American people. It is a policy of total Evil.
Kids die last as Biden plays tough guy: Humbled US Leaves Chaos and Mass Murder While Fleeing Afghanistan
By Dave Lindorff
Source: This Can’t Be Happening
AmericaтАЩs last days in Afghanistan offered a sickening display of all that was wrong with the $2.3-trillion, 20-year failed attempt by a blundering, self-congratulatory but decaying empire to have its way in a place it neither really cared about at all, nor understood in the least.
First there was a catastrophic but predictable attack on US and Taliban troops as well as desperate civilians trying to escape the ruins and chaos of the country the US occupier was leaving behind to the victorious Taliban. One or more IS-K terrorists wearing exploding vests filled with shrapnel, possibly backed by other IS fighters firing automatic weapons, were reportedly joined by panicked US Marines confused about who the attacking enemy was. The explosion and ensuing fire-fight ended up slaughtering 170 or more Afghans (civilians and Taliban fighters) and 13 US service mena and women (12 Marines and one Navy medic) and badly wounding many more.
That terrorist attack was followed by a drone rocket revenge attack ordered by President and Commander in Chief Joe Biden . It was an attack which by all accounts went spectacularly and horrifically awry, killing not an IS-K terror plotter as initially claimed by the Pentagon, but a family of 10 including a US interpreter, all of whom тАФ both three adults and seven children including a child of only 2 тАФ had been given papers allowing them to get on one of the US evacuation flights at the Kabul Airport, but they had been unable to get through all the various checkpoints to accomplish that.
There were fabricated reports of secondary explosions used to suggest that the van that was struck had been carrying terrorists wearing explosive belts, which were completely untrue according to US and other foreign reporters who went to the scene. There were also reports of secondary explosions in an adjacent building, which were also false and self-serving to those in Washington trying to deny the disastrous error.
The two incidents provided a graphic illustration of why the US lost its longest war. First of all, terrorism has never been diminished in Afghanistan because of the US invasion and occupation of that country. Not only did the Taliban adept some of the strategies of resistance fighters against US occupation, such as in Iraq, turning to IED explosions and car bombs, but new terror groups like the Islamic State moved into the chaotic scene, attacking both US and Taliban forces. The latest attack at the airport was one of the largest of the war in terms of the number of victims.
Meanwhile, the errant missile slaughter of an entire family of pro-American would be immigrants by a US drone missile was proof positive of what critics of US drone warfare have been saying for years: Drones, often piloted by pilots halfway around the world in Nevada and Pennsylvania (near me) are a grotesquely deadly form of warfare that kills vastly more innocent people than the actual targets that it seeks to kill. Often the reason is mistaken coordinates or even flight-controller errors, but just as often it is a problem of bad intelligence, frequently caused by US тАЬassetsтАЭ in country providing deliberately wrong targeting information either to sabotage US efforts and increase opposition to the US occupiers, or simply to settle scores with an assetтАЩs own rival.
A lack of transparency and honesty by the Pentagon and the White House through four presidencies has made things worse. Information about civilian deaths are since the beginning of this war in 2001 has been withheld, and when it is impossible to deny тАФ for example when as has happened all too many times in this war, a wedding processing is blown up when it is confused with a group of enemy forces on the move тАФ the number of innocents murdered is low-balled.
Biden did what George Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump couldnтАЩt do: he has finally ended the war on Afghanistan by the US. He made a mess about it by dragging out the process by seven months when he could have negotiated an armistice and brought the troops home immediately upon taking he office. The Taliban would have been happy to accept a peaceful return to power and the US could have negotiated a peaceful exit for both US troops and Afghans wanting to leave. Instead, Biden ended up being a fourth president at war in Afghanistan, with blood on his own hands, and the US ended up losing a fighting war тАФ badly.
Meanwhile, the war may be over for US troops, but it isnтАЩt over for Afghanistan. The US violence and destruction of that long-suffering country has left it confronting a bloody civil war now as factions and tribal regions vie for power. As well, Biden has said that the US will still feel free тАФ despite the blatant illegality of such actions under international law тАФ to bomb and send in armed drones to attack targets by air in Afghanistan, just as the US did in the last days of the US militaryтАЩs retreat. US soldiers will still be fighting, but instead facing bullets and IEDs in Afghanistan theyтАЩll be sitting in air-conditioned pods on US military bases using video-game-like air-conditioned pods to control death-bringing, rocket-armed drones.
America itself will also still be in a state of war, as Congress continues to leave in place the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). That war authorization, approved by Congress on September 18, 2001, after no hearings or debate to launch the illegal war on Afghanistan, was also used to launch the so-called War on Terror. The latter has been an amorphous, borderless тАЬwarтАЭ that legal shills working for the government like former US Assistant Attorney General John Yoo have successfully claimed includes, until rescinded, the entire territory of the United States within its Constitution and Bill of Rights-shredding тАЬbattlefield.тАЭ It has given presidents, in the view of the Supreme Court, dictatorial powers undreamt of by the ConstitutionтАЩs authors, permitted indefinite incarceration without charge or trial, warrantless government eavesdropping, extra-judicial government murder and kidnapping, and the jailing of whistleblowers and journalists in violation of US laws designed to defend such people and their actions.
Biden has done nothing to put an end to the continuing air war against Afghanistan or to the War on Terror.
There will be no ticker-tape parade for veterans of the Afghanistan War or the War on Terror. It will likely be erased from US history to the extent that the US government and the duopoly War Party and their complicit mass media can do it. Just as vastly bloodier Vietnam and Korean Wars have been white-washed into family-friendly noble if unsuccessful efforts to тАЬdefend freedom,тАЭ the Afghanistan War will be remembered, if it is remembered at all, as an attempt to punish the attackers of 9/11 (never mind that no Afghani or Taliban fighter ever attacked the US, on 9/11 or anytime during the last two decades of US war on Afghanistan). The rest of those sordid two decades will be whitewashed away.
We shouldnтАЩt let that happen.
Instead we should remember the slaughtered family of Zemari Ahmadi, who paid with their lives so that President Biden could тАЬlook toughтАЭ in the face of critics at home blasting his botched decision to pull US forces out of Afghanistan.
