“Falling
Down”
https://archive.org/details/falling-down-1993-brrip-1080p
1993
Directed by Joel Schumacher, written by Ebbe Roe Smith, and staring Michael Douglas
A middle-aged
man dealing with both unemployment and divorce, William Foster (Michael
Douglas) is having a bad day.
When his car
breaks down on a Los Angeles highway, he leaves his vehicle and begins a trek
across the city to attend his daughter's
birthday party. As
he makes his way through the urban landscape, William's frustration and
bitterness become more evident,
resulting in violent
encounters with various people, including a vengeful gang and a dutiful veteran
cop (Robert Duvall).
Subject: Corporate culture … tunnel
vision … telescoping ‘the revolution’ from above.

September 29, 2022
Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
It
is widely held that our educational system is faulty and not designed to
prepare us for a life in the future. We have been taught to look at the world
as if through a rearview mirror and are unable to anticipate the turns ahead of
us. Those who have not studied history, as Howard Zinn was fond of pointing
out, “are living as if they were born yesterday.” They see no patterns of
behavior which might instruct them about the present and future possibilities.
The perception of context of missing, and consequently we have failed to learn
how to mentally frame the events that engulf us each day. We are reduced to the
state of an infant, crying to be taken care of until we have grown apathetic,
resigned to a routine of frequent abuses. This state of mental alienation is
all but ubiquitous – a human condition that Mark
Ames has called, “our inner slave.”
We
continue our presentation of Going Postal (2005), by Mark Ames.
After
discussing the paucity of 19th-century slave revolts and describing
several dozen instances of office shootings across the nation since Joseph Wesbecker’s infamous massacre of fellow postal workers in Louisville,
Kentucky on September 14, 1989, the author recounts in the third part of this
book the real cause of these rage killings, in a chapter titled “Ragenomics,” Section 5, “Let Them Eat Prozac” :
Why don’t they get new jobs if they’re
unhappy – or go on Prozac?
--Susan Sheybani,
Bush election campaign official, July 29, 2004
There
is a socioeconomic context for these shooting sprees;
The rare murder is new. It appeared under Reagan,
during his cultural economic revolution, and it expanded in his aftermath.
Reaganomics has ruled America ever since. For all the Right’s hysterical
attacks on Clinton as a left-winger, the fact is that it was Clinton who
administered a lethal injection to the welfare system with his Orwellian-named
Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act. Under Clinton,
Wall Street flourished with grater deregulation, globalization accelerated as
never before, downsizings soared, and the anti-union, pro-shareholder corporate
culture that Reagan launched went from being a radical experiment to a way of
life. By the time George W. Bush took office, the cultural-economic transformation
had become so deeply entrenched that what once would have been considered
extreme and unacceptable was cheered and praised, even by those who suffered. The
change was radical and traumatic, so much so that historians may look back at
this time and wonder why there weren’t more murders and rebellions, just as it
is shocking today to consider how few slave rebellions there were.
Rather than looking outside of the office
world for an explanation for these shooting sprees – rather than blaming
violent films, gun proliferation, the breakup of the family, the lack of God,
or a fear-mongering media – why not consider the changes within America’s corporate
culture itself? We avoid this topic in mainstream discourse, and there are
powerful reasons for self-censorship: if the workplace is responsible, then
that means every working American is potentially in peril, living in unbearable
circumstances, yet too deluded, or too beaten-down, to recognize it.
Under Reagan, corporations transformed form
providers of stability for employees and their families to fear-juiced stress
engines. Reagan’s legacy to America and modern man is not the victory of the
Cold War, where he simply got lucky; it is instead one of the most shocking wealth
transfers in the history of the world, all under the propaganda diversion of ‘making
America competitive’ and ‘unleashing the creative energies of the American
worker.’ New corporate heroes like General Electric’s Jack Welch spoke of ‘unlimited
juice’ to squeeze from his employees – and wring the rinds did he. While work
became increasingly stressful and time consuming with fewer rewards for the majority,
capital was sucked from the middle and lower classes of working America and
deposited into the offshore accounts of the very highest layer of the executive
and shareholder class. As the Economic Policy Institute reported, ‘What income
growth there was over the 1979-1989 period was driven primarily by more work at
lower wages.’
People’s memories are short and America’s
propaganda is so powerful that most, even the greatest losers of this appropriation,
have forgotten that a profound change occurred, which we now take for granted.
We have been conditioned to react skeptically, even hostilely, to criticisms of
our current corporate values, values which form the foundation of everyday life
today. What’s more appalling is that huge numbers of those left behind in the
wealth transfer genuflected to the new plutocratic class celebrating the most
vicious of the uber-CEOs. This craven CEO-worshiping
is still going on today – middle Americans drag themselves home after work in
order to gather around the television and watch billionaire ass-hole Donald Trump
deliver his ‘Your fired!’ line to some desperate, stressed-out Smithers-abee. Entertainment is no longer about joy or
escape. It’s about reliving life at the office, even if you just left the
office fifteen minutes ago. It is about fetishizing the
stress. It’s as though the conditioning worked too well. This worship of the
new plutocrats is reminiscent of medieval peasant adulation of the royalty that
stomped on them. Indeed, serfdom is a good analogy considering the kind of neofeudal divisions that arose in the wake of Reaganomics.
. . .
The grim facts about the transformation of
corporate America, and this massive wealth transfer’s effect on the American
landscape, are undeniable. Exposing this used to be confined to the left-wing
press, allowing the gullible, team-playing Middle Americans to safely dismiss
what went on right before their eyes. Yet in the last few years, more mainstream
books like White Collar Sweatshop, Nickel and Dimed, and Working
Poor have, to one degree or another, attempted to reposition the centrist
discourse.
One problem is that most left-wingers
still reflectively focus their energies, and sympathies, on the plight of the industrial
proletariat, a long-declining species in America. We all know how they got screwed
under Reagan. We remember how the blue-collar unions were broken in the rust
belt and beyond, and how the manufacturing industry was forced into a false
choice between breaking its unions or shutting the plants down and shifting
production overseas. In fact once given free reign under Reagan, corporations
did both – they had their cake and ate it, first braking their unions and then
shutting down their plants and moving them overseas to cheaper climes. Since
1980, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of manufacturing jobs
in the United States has fallen by about 25 percent, to 14.4 million from 19.3
million, while the overall population has grown by 70 million in that same
period. The government has also quite literally legislated grater poverty for
its worst-off workers. According to the Census Bureau, in 1981, when Ronald
Reagan took office, a worker’s annual earnings at minimum wage put him at 98.2
of the official poverty line; by the time Reagan left office in 1989, minimum
wage brought that same worker’s annual salary to just 70.4 percent of the
poverty line. The reason is simple:
Reagan didn’t raise the minimum wage once during his term. In 1981, the minimum
wage was $3.35, and in 1989, after the great wealth boom we’ve been led to
believe benefited every living American, the minimum wage was –drum roll,
maestro - $3.35! In the sixties, the minimum wage was raised seven times; in
the seventies, it was raised six times. But over Reagan’s dead body would the
poor get another red cent, and he even took a chuck of that red cent away. To
put this into modern terms, 1981’s $3.35 would be worth $6.53 in 2001 dollars,
while 1989’s $3.35 would be worth only $4.78. In real dollar terms, Reagan actually
slashed the poorest American’s earnings by 27 percent, during the same period
Wall Street and the plutocrats saw their earning soar by triple-digit
percentages! With tax cuts thrown in as sweeteners! As of the summer of 2005,
the minimum wage has not been raised for nine years, and Bush has been
resisting the call because, you see, it would be ‘bad for business’.
All of this would not have been a big problem
for a majority of the country. Middle-class Americans bought into the argument
that what was bad for the working class was good for America (i.e., the middle
class), under the false assumption that the same dark capitalist force that
sucked the juice out of blue-collar Americans would never dare sink its fangs
into the white-collar world.
But it did. And now a new and
no-less-brutal dialectic has developed as the working class has declined one
that divided increasingly desperate middle-class Americans from the increasingly
fatter executive/shareholder class, which has been admiringly labeled by the obsequious
American press the ‘mega-rich.’
. . .
Since
President George W. Bush came to office, hourly wages actually declined in
2003, so the majority of workers lucky enough to have found new jobs actually
get paid less than what they made in their previous jobs. According to a study
by Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren, the proportion of middle-income families
who would be considered ‘house poor’ – who spend over 40 percent of their
income on mortgage payments – has doubled since 1975.
By contrast, CEO compensation has
skyrocketed. Between 1990 and 2000, CEO pay skyrocketed by 571 percent, while
the average worker’s paycheck in the same period grew only 34 percent. Not only
did their pay soar, but their pay relative to their average workers also
widened dramatically, even recklessly. In 1978, CEOs earned just under 30 times their average worker’s pay; by 1995, that
figure rose to 115 times, and by 2001, CEOs of large corporations earned 531
times their average worker’s salaries. One leading economist, Robert Frank,
found that the top one percent captured 70 percent of all the earnings growth since
the mid-1970s. The beneficiaries aren’t just the CEOs – they’re the
shareholders, the real new feudal aristocracy. In just the period since Bush
took office until the middle of 2004, for example, corporate profits grew 40
percent while real wages barely registered a 0.3 percent blip. And the Congressional
Budget Office estimated last year [2004] that more than half of all corporate
profits go directly into the pockets of the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans.
‘We’re back to serfs and royalty in the
Middle Ages,’ says Edward Lawler, professor of management at the University of
Southern California’s Marshall School of Business.
. . .
So while most middle-class Americans’
incomes fell and their workload turned into work-overload, executives hogged
almost the entire windfall for themselves. All that was missing from this
neo-feudal picture was the introduction of the tithe, and a lot of dung.
In 1999 alone, the average CEO’s pay soared
37 percent, led by Michael Eisner’s obscene $576 million compensation that
year, while the average worker’s salary increased only 2.7 percent, leading
John Cavanagh, director for the Institute for Policy
Studies, to declare on the McNeil-Lehrer News Hour, ‘This year we almost
fell out of our chairs . . . . The economy is doing well, but one group is
benefiting enormously, another not at all – in a sense, the emergence of two
Americas.’ The ‘we fell out of our chairs’ line is a testament to the success and
power of America’s propaganda – this bifurcation had been going on for twenty
years, yet it even shocked the very people whose lives were dedicated to studying
it.
Another change was that compensation was no
longer linked to performance and output. Instead, pay increase was decided upon
according to what might be defined as a ‘class’ bias – the rich robbing the
middle-class to make the rich into the mega-rich. So while workers may have
worked more for less pay under the constant threat of being downsized, even
those CEOs with the most disastrous track records were still able to rake in
obscene remuneration packages and set themselves up for life.(pp.87-91)
We will follow Ames’ discussion in this book where
he develops the problematic of “class collaboration” in the dire context of
class warfare and “enslavement.”
The
21 + items below reflect the increasing number of discussions in Anglophone
social media pointing to a growing democratic resistance to the established plutocracy
which has waged war on humanity for the sake of their private profits. Together
these open discussions represent a social movement that is appearing around the
world in response to aggressive ruling-class propaganda in support of capitalist
“globalization” and the toxic war economy that is threatening to reduce and
eventually destroy the entire world, as we know it.

Biden
Uses Executive Order To Institutionalize Eugenics, Transhumanism
https://www.technocracy.news/biden-uses-executive-order-to-institutionalize-eugenics-transhumanism/
by Patrick Wood
Secretary
of Health and Human Services (HHS), in consultation with the heads of
appropriate agencies as determined by the Secretary, shall submit a
report assessing how to use biotechnology and biomanufacturing
to achieve medical breakthroughs, reduce the overall burden of disease, and improve
health outcomes.
So,
are the societal goals to submit reports? Well, that is what it says except
that the reports are directed toward “health, climate change and
energy, food and agricultural innovation, resilient supply chains, and
cross-cutting scientific advances.”
The
real goal is in the introduction to the EO, and it should set your hair on
fire:
We
need to develop genetic engineering technologies and techniques to be able to
write circuitry for cells and predictably program biology in the same way in
which we write software and program computers; unlock the power of
biological data, including through computing tools and artificial intelligence;
and advance the science of scale-up production while reducing the obstacles for
commercialization so that innovative technologies and products can reach
markets faster.
On
top of this, your taxpayer dollars are going to pay for your transmogrification
because Federal investment is specified to flood into “key research and
development areas of biotechnology and biomanufacturing.”
Do
they know what those “key R&D areas” are? No. Section 3(v) ties the unknown
goals to societal goals and commands the Director of the National Science
Foundation to
“submit a report identifying high-priority
fundamental and use-inspired basic research goals to advance biotechnology and biomanufacturing and to address the societal goals
identified in this section.”
Oh,
and to address those recursive societal goals while you are at it.
Now,
all this genetic modification has full government support, truckloads of
taxpayer money but you might imagine that there are not enough highly trained
workers capable of holding jobs in the biotechnology sector. No problem. Enter
Section 7, Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing
Workforce. Section 7(a) states,
The
United States Government shall expand training and education opportunities for
all Americans in biotechnology and biomanufacturing.
Remembering
that this EO is a “whole-of-government” initiative, it’s no surprise that,
To
support this objective, within 200 days of the date of this order,
the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary
of Education, the APDP, the Director of OSTP, and
the Director of NSF shall produce and make publicly available
a plan to coordinate and use relevant Federal education and training programs,
while also recommending new efforts to promote multi-disciplinary education
programs.
There
is something for everyone here, including international entities. Section 12
orders the Department of State to engage “international partners” of all types
to “enhance cooperation, including joint research projects and expert
exchanges, on biotechnology R&D, especially in genomics and to “work
to promote the open sharing of scientific data, including genetic sequence
data.”
Presumably,
this does not mean that the Wuhan Institute of Virology is now our legal partner, does it?
Now,
for those who are a little skeptical about what I am suggesting here, let’s
just rip the veil off in this closing observation:
The
term “key R&D areas” includes fundamental R&D of emerging
biotechnologies, including engineering biology; predictive engineering of
complex biological systems, including the designing, building, testing, and
modeling of entire living cells, cell components, or cellular systems;
quantitative and theory-driven multi-disciplinary research to maximize
convergence with other enabling technologies; and regulatory science, including
the development of new information, criteria, tools, models, and approaches to
inform and assist regulatory decision-making. These R&D priorities
should be coupled with advances in predictive modeling, data analytics,
artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, high-performance and other advanced
computing systems, metrology and data-driven standards, and other non-life
science enabling technologies. Section 13(i)
The
term “life sciences” means all sciences that study or use living
organisms, viruses, or their products, including all disciplines of
biology and all applications of the biological sciences (including
biotechnology, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, and pharmaceutical and
biomedical research and techniques), but excluding scientific studies
associated with radioactive materials or toxic chemicals that are not of
biological origin or synthetic analogues of toxins. Section 13(p)
In
sum, Biden’s National Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing
Initiative is a complete capitulation of our government to Big Pharma, the biotechnology industry and the entire transhuman cabal that wants to create Humanity 2.0 by
changing our genetic structure. Unfortunately, this is nothing more than a
continuation and expansion of the eugenics movement from the 1930s and it
should be recognized as such before tossing it back into the flames of hades where it belongs.

Executive Order here.

Life
Expectancy: The US and Cuba in the Time of Covid
http://www.blackagendareport.com/life-expectancy-us-and-cuba-time-covid
by Don Fitz
The profitmaking health care system in the U.S. does not
correlate with good outcomes. Socialist Cuba struggles under U.S.
sanctions, yet it now outperforms the U.S. in life expectancy.
Recent data
shows that between 2019 and 2021, life expectancy (LE) in the US plunged almost
three years while for Cuba it edged up 0.2 years. Yet, in 1960, the year
after its revolution, Cuba had a LE of 64.2 years,
lower by 5.6 years than that in the US (69.8 years). As I document
in Cuban Health Care ,
the island quickly caught up to the US and, from 1970 through 2016, the two
countries were nip and tuck, with some years Cuba and other years the US,
having a longer LE. But neither country was ever as much as one year of LE
ahead of the other.
This continued
through the beginning of Covid, which sharply changed
the pattern. LE in the US suddenly dropped behind that in
Cuba. Bernd Debusmann Jr.of BBC
News wrote , LE in the US fell “to the lowest level seen since
1996. Government data showed LE at birth now stands at 76.1 compared to
79 in 2019. That is the steepest two-year decline in a century.” From
2019 to 2020 , “LE declined in all 50 states and the District of
Columbia.
How could a
country with all the problems of Cuba, actually have LE almost three years
greater than the US? There were enormous differences between the way the countries responded to Covid.

From NATO to AUKUS: The West Has Nukes Everywhere
https://scheerpost.com/2022/09/21/from-nato-to-aukus-the-west-has-nukes-everywhere/
by Binoy Kampmark
In
Vienna, China’s permanent mission to the United Nations has been rather
exercised of late. Members of the mission have been particularly irate with the
International Atomic Energy Agency and its Director General, Rafael Grossi, who addressed the IAEA’s Board of Governors on
September 12.
Grossi was building on
a confidential report by the IAEA which had been circulated the previous week
concerning the role of nuclear propulsion technology for submarines to be
supplied to Australia under the AUKUS security pact.
When
the AUKUS announcement was made in September last year, its significance shook
security establishments in the Indo-Pacific. It was also no less remarkable,
and troubling, for signalling the transfer of
otherwise rationed nuclear technology to a third country. As was rightly observed at the
time by Ian Stewart, executive director of the James Martin Center in
Washington, such “cooperation may be used by non-nuclear states as more
ammunition in support of a narrative that the weapons states lack good faith in
their commitments to disarmament.”

Russia
and NATO Tried to Wage War on the Cheap in Ukraine, But Could Now be Heading
for Total War
by Patrick Cockburn
President Vladimir Putin has been trying to wage war
on the cheap in Ukraine for seven months, with disastrous results for Russia. He is now
ordering a partial military mobilisation that will
take time to implement and may at best only create a stalemate between Russian
and Ukrainian forces.
The successful
Ukrainian offensive around Kharkiv has fuelled
hopes in Kyiv and the West that Russia will lose the war comprehensively and Mr Putin will be overthrown by a putsch in Moscow. Both
possibilities exist, but it is more likely that the war will go on and on
without producing a victor, as has happened so often in recent military
conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa.

On March 5,
Ukraine’s Putsch “Prime Minister” Arseniy Yatsenyuk, arbitrarily sacked three senior Defence Ministry politicians, Deputy Defense Minister
Alexander Oleynik, with Deputy Defense Ministers
Vladimir Mozharovskiy and Arturo Francisco Babenko.
According to Itar-Tass (6th March 2014) they had drawn Yatsenyuk’s ire by expressing:
“sharp criticism over giving the Right Sector militants the
status of regular military units.”
A contact of the
publication stated that one of the three had also:
“told Yatsenyuk that actions of
today’s Kiev authorities in overtures with radical nationalist organizations
would destroy national unity” and that it was simply: “harmful to involve the
state military agency in such dangerous games.” Their stand resulted in
“management reshuffles” – in the country in which Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland
has stated that the US has invested $5 Billion: “in the development of
democratic institutions and skills in promoting civil society and a good form
of government.”(1)

US ‘Nuclear Primacy’ and ‘Blitzkrieg Nuclear War’:
Russia Responds to America’s Plan to Win World War III
https://www.globalresearch.ca/russia-responds-america-plan-win-world-war-iii/5794403
by Eric Zuesse
The U.S. Government no
longer designs nuclear weapons to prevent World War III, but instead to win
World War III.
Whereas
both the Soviet Union and the United States used to design their strategy and
weapons so as to prevent a Third World
War so that neither side would win but both sides (and much of the
world) would be destroyed as thousands of nuclear warheads would suddenly be
exploding during a nuclear war which would be completed within around an hour
or so, the U.S. Government has
gradually shifted away from such a “M.A.D.” or “mutually assured destruction”
meta-strategy, and been replacing it with the “Nuclear Primacy” U.S.
meta-strategy, in which Russia will be totally destroyed but the U.S.
will emerge afterward as being sufficiently strong so as to hold
unchallengeable sway over the entire planet (which hegemony has been the actual goal
of the U.S. Government ever since 25 July 1945).
On
3 May 2017, I headlined “America’s
Top Scientists Confirm: U.S. Goal Now Is to Conquer Russia”, and linked to
a report that had recently been issued by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, about “revolutionary new technologies
that will vastly increase the targeting capability of the US ballistic missile
arsenal.
This increase in capability is astonishing —
boosting the overall killing power of existing US ballistic missile forces by a
factor of roughly three — and it creates exactly what one would expect to see,
if a nuclear-armed state were planning to have the capacity to fight and win a
nuclear war by disarming enemies with a surprise first strike.”
I pointed out there that this new technology, called
the “super-fuse”, was exactly in accord with the replacement of
M.A.D. by Nuclear Primacy. After all, though the proponents of “Nuclear Primacy” didn’t say that this phrase related ONLY to America’s “Primacy” in a
U.S.-v.-Russia nuclear war, the context
always was clear that this was the intention, and that the phrase meant the
exact opposite of (and strongly
opposed) any conceivable
nuclear “primacy” for Russia.
So,
“Nuclear Primacy” — a phrase that was introduced
in 2006 in the most prestigious scholarly journals,
and subsequently adhered-to by all U.S. foreign policies though never explicitly stated (and never publicly advocated) by the U.S.
Government —
is, in actuality, the new U.S. meta-strategy, the one that now exists.
Other
new U.S. military technologies also were discussed in that Bulletin of Atomic Scientists
article: for example:
“Because of improvements in the killing power of US
submarine-launched ballistic missiles, those submarines now patrol with more
than three times the number of warheads needed to destroy the entire fleet of
Russian land-based missiles in their silos.”
Of
course, if this is true, then Russians were in a terrifying situation, at least
as recently as 2017.
Russia’s
response to this challenge had actually started even earlier, by no later than
U.S. President Barack Obama’s
having grabbed
control over the Government of Ukraine in February 2014. (And in this video is shown
that video’s full smoking gun of his coup, and here is the
transcript and explanation of that crucial smoking gun.) Ukraine is the country
that has the nearest foreign border to The Kremlin in Moscow — only 353 miles from Moscow, a
mere five minutes of missile-flight-time, away, from the Ukrainian city of
Sumy. Ukraine’s having the border with the closest proximity to Russia’s
central command (The Kremlin) is the main reason why Obama grabbed it (in
accord with his Nuclear-Primacy policies).
Compare
that 353 miles to the 1,131 miles from Washington DC that Cuba is and that
terrified JFK so much during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis as to have made him
willing to launch nuclear war against the Soviet Union if Khrushchev wouldn’t
remove the missile sites that the Soviet Union was attempting to build in Cuba.
Cuba is over three times farther away from DC than Ukraine is from The Kremlin,
and the missiles at that time were far slower than they are today, but when America’s
NATO finally rejected, on 7 January 2022, Russia’s demand that Ukraine NEVER be
allowed to join NATO, what alternative did Russia have left, other than to
reverse Obama’s coup of
Ukraine
and to do it as soon as possible?
In
preparation for Russia’s “Special Military Operation,” Russia has been introducing new weapons systems that are specifically
designed to prevent “Nuclear Primacy.” Among the main ones is the Sarmat ICBM, which is vastly
the world’s most terrifying weapon, because it will be virtually impossible to
detect and track, carrying dozens of precision-targeted huge nuclear bombs,
unstoppable by any existing technology, and having a range of 18,000 kilometers
or over 11,000 miles, which would cover the entire U.S. empire.
Just
a few Sarmats could destroy the entire U.S. empire,
all of the U.S. and its vassal-nations (self-described as being ‘democracies’
and ‘independent nations’ — neither of which is true).
A
Princeton University group of scholars has produced their estimate of how a WW
III would proceed, which they label as “Plan A”, and their
video-summary of it was posted to youtube on 6
September 2019. As-of now, it has had nearly 4 million views, and five thousand
viewer-comments.

“Manipulating the Weather is Part of the Military Arsenal, It should be Part of the Climate Discussion”
by Prof Michel Chossudovsky and Elze van Hamelen
Despite the
existence of an extensive literature on weather modification techniques for
military purposes, the subject is considered taboo. “The U.S. military states
in its documents that it can influence the weather, and both the UN and the EU
were concerned about this issue,” explains Canadian emeritus professor Michel Chossudovsky
in an interview with De Andere Krant.
“Weather modification techniques should at least be part of the
discussion on climate change.” The 1977 UN ‘ENMOD’ convention, on the
prohibition of applying weather modification techniques for military purposes,
provides a starting point for this.
Michel Chossudovsky, Professor of Economics
(emeritus) at the University of Ottawa, is the author of thirteen books,
including “The Globalization of Poverty and The New World Order,” “Towards a
World War III Scenario: The Dangers of Nuclear War,” and “The Globalization of
War, America’s Long War against Humanity. He is the founder of the Center for
Research on Globalization, and editor-in-chief of the highly informative site www.globalresearch.ca. Over the years, he has published several articles
that demonstrate, using documents from the US government, EU and UN, that the
application of weather modification techniques is not an urban legend.

Dangerous Crossroads: America’s Plan to Wage Nuclear
War against Non-Nuclear States
by Prof Michel Chossudovsky
Successive
US administrations have contemplated the use of nuclear weapons directed against both nuclear as well as
non-nuclear states.
This article focusses on nuclear war against “non-nuclear
states”.
In 2001, The Pentagon under the presidency
of George W. Bush had
envisaged a new generation of bunker buster tactical nuclear weapons for use in
the Middle East and Central Asia against “non-nuclear states”:
“Military
officials and leaders of America’s nuclear weapon laboratories [had] urged
the US to develop a new generation of precision low-yield nuclear weapons… which could be used in conventional
conflicts with third-world nations.” (Federation of American Scientists,
2001, emphasis added)

War against Non-Nuclear States.

Citizen’s Brain Is
the Battlefield in 21st-century Warfare
https://www.globalresearch.ca/citizen-brain-battlefield-21st-century-warfare/5794156
by Elze van Hamelen
NATO has added to the traditional domains of warfare –
land, sea, air, space and cyberspace – a new one: “the cognitive domain.” This
is not just about imposing certain ideas or behaviors, as in traditional
propaganda and psy-ops, but about modifying cognition
– influencing the process by which we
ourselves arrive at ideas, insights, beliefs, choices and behaviors. The target
is not primarily an enemy army, but the citizen. Winning the war is no
longer determined by moving a border on a map, but by ideological conversion of
the target.
“Cognitive warfare is one of the most debated topics
within Nato,” researcher
François du Cluzel told a panel discussion on Oct. 5,
2021. He wrote a foundational paper “Cognitive Warfare” for the Nato-affiliated think tank Innovation Hub in 2020. Although
cognitive warfare overlaps with information warfare, classical propaganda and
psychological operations, du Cluzel points out that
cognitive warfare goes much further. In information warfare, one “only” tries
to control the supply of information. Psychological operations involve
influencing perceptions, beliefs and behavior. The goal of cognitive warfare is
“to turn everyone into a weapon,” and “the goal is not to attack what
individuals think, but how they think.” Du Cluzel:
“It is a war against our cognition – the way our brains process information and
turn it into knowledge. It directly targets the brain”. Cognitive warfare is
about “hacking the individual,” allowing the brain to be “programmed.”
To achieve this, almost every domain of knowledge
imaginable is applied: psychology, linguistics, neurobiology, logic, sociology,
anthropology, behavioral sciences, “and more.” “Social engineering always
begins with an understanding of the environment and the target; the goal is to
understand the psychology of the target population,” du Cluzel
writes. The basis remains traditional propaganda and disinformation techniques,
enhanced by current technology and advances in knowledge. “Behavior, meanwhile,
can be predicted and calculated to such an extent,” according to du Cluzel, “that AI-driven behavioral science ‘behavioral
economics’ should be classified as a hard science rather than soft science.”
Because almost everyone is active on the Internet and
social media, individuals are no longer passive recipients of propaganda; with
today’s technology, they actively participate in its creation and
dissemination. Knowledge of how to manipulate these processes “is easily turned
into a weapon.” Du Cluzel cites the Cambridge Analytica scandal as an example. Through voluntarily
submitted personal data to Facebook, detailed
individual psychological profiles had been created of a large population.
Normally such information is used for personalized advertising, but in the case
of Cambridge Analytica it was used to bombard
doubting voters with personalized propaganda. Cognitive warfare “exploits the
weaknesses of the human brain,” recognizing the importance of the role of
emotions in driving cognition. Cyberpsychology, which
seeks to understand the interaction between humans, machines and AI (artificial
intelligence) will be increasingly important here.
Other promising technologies that could be used are
neuroscience and technologies, or “NeuroS/T,” and
“NBIC” – nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, cognitive
science, “including developments in genetic engineering. NeuroS/T can be pharmacological
agents, brain-machine couplings, as well as psychologically disturbing
information. Influencing the nervous system with knowledge or technology
can produce changes in memory, learning ability, sleep cycles, self-control,
mood, self-perception, decisiveness, confidence and empathy, and fitness and
vigor. Du Cluzel writes, “The potential of NeuroS/T’ to create insight and the capacity to influence
cognition, emotions and behavior of individuals is of particular interest to
security and intelligence agencies, and military and war initiatives.”

Clockwork Orange: The Intimately Related
Impunities of Fascist Floridians Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis
by Paul Street
Impunity feeds on itself. The more a transgressor
gets away with the more he feels emboldened to transgress again. And the
more he transgresses without punishment the more others in the same mold feel
free to transgress.
It Still Walks Free
Take the cases of the orange-hued fascist
maniac and QAnon backer Donald “Take Down the Metal Detectors Cuz the
Guys with AR-15s Don’t Want to Hurt Me” Trump and Florida’s mini-Trump governor
Ron DeSantis.
A remotely functioning democracy would have
jailed Trump for fraud and/or sexual assault years ago, long before he tried to
subvert and cancel the 2020 presidential election and absconded to his private
Florida estate with boxes of classified government documents.
After decades of epic transgression, the
orange-hued ogre has yet to be indicted once. Far from rotting in a jail cell
where he belongs, he’s the Republican Party’s intraparty kingmaker and 2024
presidential front-runner.
Three-fourths of the Trump his party’s base
believes his preposterous Big Hitlerian Lie about the
2020 election. He has fraudulently raised tens of millions of dollars through
this grand deception.
He has Republican election-deniers running
for office in the coming general election in 27 states. This rogue roster
includes people vying for state-level positions in charge of election
supervision and certification, candidates ready to use those offices (governor,
attorney general, secretary of state) to nullify statewide popular votes if
necessary to ensure Trump’s victory in battleground states in 2024-25.
Trump has recently openly identified with the
neo-Nazi QAnon cult and joined his fellow white
supremacist Lindsey Graham in warning that prosecuting Trump would cause civil
unrest. The claim is intended to send the following message to the Department
of Justice and the Fulton County District Attorney: “Try to impose the rule of
law on our Demented Dear Leader and our thugs will act to impose the rule of
force on you!” That’s pretty damn…well, fascist.
A young and inexperienced right-wing
(Federalist Society) District Court judge Trump and his party cynically
installed after the 2020 election (Aileen Cannon) has just issued two
preposterous orders that have thrown a significant monkey wrench into the
federal investigation of his document theft crime(s). The Appeals Court to
which the Department of Justice is appealing this openly ridiculous, partisan
ruling is stocked with Trump appointees. So is the next and last judicial
body up – the US Supreme Court. (See my update below)

The
American Dream and Other Fairy Tales

by Ed Rampell
Abigail Disney, who proclaims that “Class traitors
are my patron saint,” is probably the Magic Kingdom’s most disloyal royal. As
the grandniece of Walt Disney and granddaughter of Roy Disney, Abigail was born
into true show business royalty. But increasingly dismayed by the Walt Disney
Company’s contemporary unfair business and labor practices, she became a
dissenting heiress, who decided to speak out against inequality and injustice
at Disneyland and beyond.
To do so, by 2006 Abigail parlayed her inheritance –
in terms of both treasure and storytelling panache – into making films that
stand up for the underdog. To do so Abigail co-created Level Forward and Fork
Films, to make anti-racist, pro-gender equity, gun neutral, progressive
pictures. The ensuing nonfiction and fiction productions have scored accolades,
including co-winning Emmy Awards for 2012’s The Invisible War, about sexual abuse in the U.S. armed forces,
and 2015’s The Armor of Light,
about guns and abortion.

Class
Warfare Grinds On
https://www.counterpunch.org/2022/09/23/class-warfare-grinds-on/
by Eve Ottenberg
The business of America is said to be business. But
that is not the business of America’s tens of millions of workers. Their
business is getting paid fairly and not working 100 hours per week. Their
business is having an occasional day off and paid sick leave. Their business is
getting treated decently on the job. And when these things don’t happen, the
business of the many millions of blue collar and part-time workers is to
strike. Lately they’ve done quite a bit of that.
Take Starbucks baristas. They’ve been organizing
like mad for months, so much so that management decided to snarl their labor
activism by withholding raises from union workers. Starbucks did so illegally,
the National Labor Relations Board alleged. “More than 230 locations have voted
to join the Starbucks Workers United union since late 2021,” according to the
Washington Post August 25. Management struck back. It even fetched its former
boss, billionaire Howard “Union Buster” Schultz out of retirement to become interim
ceo and chief strategist for
the company’s anti-labor counter-assault.
Schultz was the guy who memorably proclaimed back in
April that his companies were being “assaulted” by unions. He thus let the
management cat out of the bag: oligarchs regard unions as basically criminal
enterprises, therefore justifying their scorched earth approach to labor.
Fortunately, this view is wildly out of line with most Americans’ sentiments.
According to Gallup on August 30, 71 percent of Americans approve of labor unions,
the highest approval rate since 1965. Which just goes to
prove my personal conviction that oligarchs are a peculiar, insular bunch,
wrapped in their cocoons of excess riches and utterly out of touch with the
wisdom and decency of most normal, ordinary people.
Starbucks denied the charges in the NLRB complaint:
“We’ve been clear in that we are following NLRB rules when it comes to
unilaterally giving benefits,” a company spokesman emailed the Post. Meanwhile
the NLRB response delighted union activists, specifically “that a billionaire ceo must apologize to employees for abusing them and
violating their rights as well as making them whole,” a lead organizer told the
Post.
No question Schultz was caught red-handed. After
all, back in May he announced pay raises only for non-union employees. That’s
called union busting. Then in August, the raises went into effect. But what
else would you expect from a fabulously rich oligarch like Schultz, notable for
heading Hillary Clinton’s 2016 list to lead the labor department, if she
attained the white house? Just more proof, if it was needed, that the Clintons’
base is the aristocracy and the extremely affluent financial sector – not us proles who traditionally voted Democratic, but now
gravitate to third parties and in their absence may not vote at all.

by Dr. Joseph Mercola

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- September 14, 2022, Politico published a special report based on four dozen interviews with U.S. and European officials and global health specialists, who admit Bill Gates is running the global COVID response
- Four health organizations — The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, GAVI, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the Wellcome Trust — rapidly took a lead on the global pandemic response, and while all four claim to be independent organizations, they’re all actually founded and/or funded by Gates
- During the earliest days of the outbreak, the Gates Foundation, GAVI, CEPI and the Wellcome Trust began a coordinated effort to identify vaccine makers, fund tests, drug treatments and mRNA shots, and develop a global distribution plan in collaboration with the World Health Organization. In the end, they failed to meet their own goals on all fronts
- Gates is unqualified to make health recommendations, and he’s never been elected to represent the public
- Gates has used his wealth, influence and sheer shrewdness to get him into a position where he can dictate global health policy for his own financial benefit

social and economic crisis. Even more so than in the rest of
Europe, energy prices, and the cost of living are rocketing.
But what is happening at the top? What are our
leaders doing? Why are some people, yet again, making eye-watering
financial gains while others face destitution and a real fear
of being cold and
hungry this winter?
The image springs to mind of Nero fiddling while
Rome burns — a depraved, corrupt, and wildly unpopular emperor, blithely
playing music while the populace suffers and failing through inertia to provide
any leadership in a crisis. On a wider canvas, it encapsulates the inadequacies
of so many political leaders over recent years, from the global financial
crisis to the pandemic, in the face of the climate emergency and now the spiralling cost of living.

A
Push for Peace in Ukraine
https://consortiumnews.com/2022/09/20/a-push-for-peace-in-ukraine/
by Marcy Winograd
On Sunday, U.S. President Joe Biden warned Russian
President Vladimir Putin “Dont, Don’t, Don’t” use
nuclear weapons in retaliation for battlefield losses in Ukraine.
While Putin
dismissed Biden’s worries as unfounded, the specter of nuclear Armageddon drove U.S. anti-war activists last week to
the streets in a September Week of Action organized by the Peace in Ukraine
Coalition.
Demanding a
“Ceasefire now!” activists hosted anti-war events in D.C., San Francisco,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Madison, Boston, Rockville, Santa Cruz, San
Mateo, San Pedro, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles.
The Peace in
Ukraine Coalition — CODEPINK, Veterans for Peace, Democratic Socialists of
America, Massachusetts Peace Action, Women’s International League for Peace and
Freedom-U.S. and other organizations — mobilized for negotiations, not
escalation in what CODEPINK describes as a proxy war threatening a direct war
between the two most heavily armed nuclear nations, the United States and
Russia.
With Biden
asking Congress for another $13.7 billion for
Ukraine, $7.2 billion for weapons and military training, activists
delivered letters to their House and U.S. Senate representatives, some letters
simply urging a ceasefire, others pushing for a no vote on the next weapons
request folded into a $47 billion Covid relief bill.
That bill, called
a continuing resolution, must be voted on in one form or another by Sept. 30 to
avoid a federal government shutdown.
If the
resolution passes with Biden’s request, military analysts say it would bring
this year’s total for Ukraine to $67 billion.
The amount allotted for weapons, military training and intelligence could
surpass $40 billion,
four times the budget of the Environmental Protection Agency during an
existential climate crisis of wildfires, droughts, storms and rising sea
levels.

Text
of Putin’s Speech on Ukraine
https://consortiumnews.com/2022/09/21/text-of-putins-speech-on-ukraine/
by Vladimir Putin
Dear friends!
The topic of my speech is the situation in the Donbass and the course of a special military operation to
liberate it from the neo-Nazi regime that seized power in Ukraine in 2014 as a
result of an armed coup.
Today I appeal to you, to all citizens of our
country, to people of different generations, ages and nationalities, to the
people of our great Motherland, to all who are united by great historical
Russia, to the soldiers and officers, volunteers who are now fighting on the
front lines, are on the combat post, to our brothers and sisters – residents of
the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, Kherson
and Zaporozhye regions, and other areas liberated
from the neo-Nazi regime.
It will be about the necessary, urgent steps to
protect the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Russia, about
supporting the desire and will of our compatriots to determine their own future
and about the aggressive policy of part of the Western elites, who are striving
with all their might to maintain their dominance, and for this they are trying
to block, to suppress any sovereign independent centers of development in order
to continue to crudely impose their will on other countries and peoples, to
plant their pseudo-values.
The purpose of this West is to weaken, divide and
ultimately destroy our country. They are already directly saying that in
1991 they were able to split the Soviet Union, and now the time has come for
Russia itself, that it should disintegrate into many mortally hostile regions
and regions.
And they have been planning such plans for a long
time. They encouraged gangs of international terrorists in the Caucasus,
promoted the offensive infrastructure of NATO close to our borders. They
made total Russophobia their weapon, including for
decades they purposefully cultivated hatred for Russia, primarily in Ukraine,
for which they were preparing the fate of an anti-Russian foothold, and the
Ukrainian people themselves were turned into cannon fodder and pushed to war
with our country, unleashing it, this war , back in 2014, using the armed
forces against the civilian population, organizing genocide, blockade, terror
against people who refused to recognize the power that arose in Ukraine as a
result of a coup.
And after the current Kyiv regime actually publicly
refused a peaceful solution to the problem of Donbass
and, moreover, announced its claims to nuclear weapons, it became absolutely
clear that a new, yet another, as it had happened twice before, large-scale
attack on the Donbass was inevitable. And then, just
as inevitably, an attack on the Russian Crimea would follow – on Russia.
In this regard, the decision on a pre-emptive
military operation was absolutely necessary and the only possible one. Its
main goals – the liberation of the entire territory of Donbass
– have been and remain unchanged.

Russia Vows 'Full Protection' For Any Annexed
Territory As Nuclear Threat Grows
by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times

How
the War Changed Overnight
https://consortiumnews.com/2022/09/21/how-the-war-changed-overnight/
by Joe Lauria
From Russia’s perspective, the war in Ukraine until
now has been a “special military operation” intended to defend the
self-declared independent republics of Luhansk and
Donetsk.
For eight years
Moscow had rebuffed entreaties from Donbass to
recognize those republics. Now Russia is prepared to absorb them as part of the
Russian Federation itself, along with the Kherson and Zaporozhye
regions.
On Wednesday in
Moscow President Vladimir Putin announced that referenda to decide whether to join
Russia would be held in those four places from this Friday until next
Wednesday. After that, the Russian Duma must decide
whether to accept the results and formally annex those territories into
Russia.
All that is
expected to happen, and once it does the game on the battlefield will change
dramatically. From Russia’s point of view, it will no longer be assisting
the militia of independent republics with Russian regular units against attacks
by Ukraine. It will now be defending Russian territory, against attacks
by Ukraine. [The Russian Ministry of Defense said it was mobilizing 300,000
reservists and other soldiers with combat experience.]
Putin did not
threaten offensive nuclear war as his remarks in the West are being spun, but
warned Russia would defend its own territory with nuclear weapons if necessary.
It isn’t known what level of Ukrainian attack against what Russia would now
consider its own territory would be needed to bring about such a response.
But the nuclear
warning will surely have Pentagon planners for Ukrainian troops thinking twice
about whether to launch major offensives to recapture Ukrainian territory from
Russia.

Conditioned
for War with Russia
https://consortiumnews.com/2022/09/22/conditioned-for-war-with-russia/
by Ray McGovern
Thanks to Establishment media, the sorcerer
apprentices advising President Joe Biden — I refer to Secretary of State Antony
Blinken, National Security Advisor Jacob Sullivan and
China specialist Kurt Campbell – will have no trouble rallying Americans for
the widest war in 77 years, starting in Ukraine, and maybe spreading to China. And, shockingly, under false pretenses.
Most Americans
are oblivious to the reality that Western media are owned and operated by the
same corporations that make massive profits by helping to stoke small wars and
then peddling the necessary weapons.
Corporate
leaders and Ivy-mantled elites, educated to believe in U.S. “exceptionalism,” find the lucre and the luster too
lucrative to be able to think straight. They deceive themselves into thinking
that (a) the U.S. cannot lose a war; (b) escalation can be calibrated and wider
war can be limited to Europe; and (c) China can be expected to just sit on the
sidelines. The attitude, consciously or unconsciously, “Not
to worry. And, in any case, the lucre and luster are worth the risk.”
The media also
know they can always trot out died-in-the-wool Russophobes to “explain,” for example,
why the Russians are “almost genetically driven” to do evil (James Clapper,
former national intelligence director and now hired savant on CNN); or Fiona
Hill (former national intelligence officer for Russia), who insists “Putin
wants to evict the United States from Europe … As he might put it: “Goodbye,
America. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”
Absent a
miraculous appearance of clearer heads with a less benighted attitude toward
the core interests of Russia in Ukraine, and China in Taiwan, historians who
survive to record the war now on our doorstep will describe it as the result of
hubris and stupidity run amok. Objective historians may even note that one of
their colleagues – Professor John Mearsheimer – got
it right from the start, when he explained in the autumn 2014 issue of Foreign
Affairs “Why the Ukraine Crisis is the West’s Fault.”

Defensive
West Smears Samarkand Summit
https://consortiumnews.com/2022/09/21/defensive-west-smears-samarkand-summit/
by Joe Lauria
At its peril, the West continues to dismiss a
movement of most of the world seeking to break free of U.S. global domination
which has dramatically accelerated since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
While Western
media pushes the line that the whole world is standing with Ukraine and against
Russia, the reality is quite different. In fact most of the world has not
joined in the Western sanctions against Moscow. The result has been the
emergence of an economic, financial and commercial system that is increasingly
able to exist without the West.
The Shanghai
Cooperation Council (SCO)’s summit in the Uzbek capital of Samarkand last
Thursday and Friday was a world historical event for the forces creating this
separate world representing the majority of humanity.
Major economic
deals were concluded and Beijing and Moscow further strengthened their budding
alliance. In what should be a worrying sign for Washington, many of its Middle
East allies, which have also rejected U.S. pressure to sanction Russia, have
applied to join the SCO.

Covert
Pro-Western Info Op
https://consortiumnews.com/2022/09/23/exposed-covert-pro-western-info-op/
by Peter Cronau
A covert online propaganda operation said to be
the world’s largest promoting “pro-Western narratives” has been found
to be operating primarily out of the United States, targeting Russia,
China and Iran.
“We believe this
activity represents the most extensive case of covert pro-Western IO
[Information Operation] on social media to be reviewed and analysed
by open-source researchers to date,” say the researchers from Stanford University and internet research firm, Graphika.
The researchers found most of the
Information Operation “likely originated in the United States.” From there
it ran a massive, interconnected web of automated “bot”
accounts on Twitter, Facebook and other social media
platforms.
The covert operation to influence online
audiences has been using “deceptive tactics to promote pro-Western narratives,”
while “opposing countries including Russia,
China and Iran.”
“The accounts heavily criticized
Russia in particular for the deaths of innocent civilians and other atrocities
its soldiers committed in pursuit of the Kremlin’s ‘imperial ambitions’
following its invasion of Ukraine in February this year,” the report says.
Declassified Australia is publishing here a detailed analysis of the remarkable
report by Stanford University’s
Internet Observatory (SIO) and network analysis firm Graphika, released on Aug. 24.
This report
is all the more surprising because SIO and Graphika
have deep connections to the U.S. national security state and to information
campaigns against U.S.-designated enemies Russia, China and Iran.
SIO’s
director, Alex Stamos, for
example, is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a visiting
scholar at the Hoover Institute and on the advisory board of NATO’s Collective Cybersecurity Center of Excellence. He was chief security
officer at Facebook where he led the
company’s investigation into alleged Russian manipulation of the 2016 U.S. election.
Graphika’s
director of investigations, Ben Nimmo, is a senior fellow with the Atlantic Council, was a
consultant to the U.K.’s Integrity Initiative propaganda
unit, previously worked as press officer for NATO and is now intelligence
chief at Meta (which owns Facebook and Instagram). There he produced a report that attempted to link Labour leader
Jeremy Corbyn to a Russian influence operation prior
to the 2019 U.K. general election.
Ironically
titled “Unheard Voice: Evaluating five years of pro-Western covert influence
operations,” the report has been studiously ignored by almost all in the
Western establishment media since its release last month. Despite the
scale and targeting of the propaganda operation, the spectacular revelations
have received only scant attention like this slight
mention in The Sydney Morning
Herald.

Zelensky and NATO plan to transform post-war Ukraine into ‘a big
Israel’
https://thegrayzone.com/2022/09/17/zelensky-nato-ukraine-big-israel/
by Alexander Rubinstein
The NATO-backed Atlantic Council has proposed apartheid Israel as a blueprint
for a hyper-militarized Ukraine. The paper was authored by Obama’s former
ambassador to Tel Aviv, now an Israeli spy-tech consultant.
Just forty days after Russia’s military campaign began inside Ukraine,
Ukrainian President Vlodymyr Zelensky
told reporters that in the future, his country would be like “a big Israel.”
The following day, one of Israel’s top promoters in the Democratic Party
published an op-ed in NATO’s official think tank exploring how that could be
executed.
Zelensky made his prediction while speaking
to reporters on April 5, rejecting the
idea that Kiev would remain neutral in future conflicts between NATO, the
European Union, and Russia. According to Zelensky,
his country would never be like Switzerland (which coincidentally abandoned its
Napoleon-era tradition of nonalignment by sanctioning Russia in response to its
February invasion).
“We cannot
talk about ‘Switzerland of the future,’” the president informed reporters. “But
we will definitely become a ‘big Israel’ with its own face.”
For those
wondering what a “big Israel” would actually look like, Zelensky
quickly elaborated on his disturbing prophecy.
“We will not
be surprised that we will have representatives of the Armed Forces or the
National Guard in all institutions, supermarkets, cinemas — there will be
people with weapons,” Ukraine’s president said, predicting a bleak existence
for his citizens. “I am sure that our security issue will be number one in the
next ten years.”
Though the
web post was based on comments Zelensky made to
reporters, the president’s office mysteriously excised a section of his remarks in
which he declared a future Ukraine would not be “absolutely liberal, European.”
Instead, along with his vision for a heavily militarized Ukraine, the post
emphasized Zelensky’s readiness to join NATO “already
tomorrow.”
For NATO’s
power brokers, however, Zelensky’s intimated willingness
to join the military alliance was perhaps the least remarkable aspect of his
statement. Instead, within 48 hours of his comments, the Atlantic Council –
NATO’s semi-official think tank in Washington – published a “road map”
exploring how to transform Ukraine into “a big Israel.”

Europe's First Cold Snap Begins This Week Amid
Worsening Energy Crisis
by Tyler Durden
Europe is plagued with an energy crisis, and the cold season is coming
ahead of schedule.
The stability of the EU's natural gas reserves now depends on a mild
winter. But new weather forecasts for next week indicate that "Arctic
chill will blow across western Europe through next week will be the first test
of how willing people are to delay switching on the heating in a bid to save
energy and ease household budgets," according to Bloomberg.
Forecaster Maxar WeatherDesk said
temperatures in London would sink 5 degrees Celsius below average, falling as
low as 6.5 degrees Celsius overnight on Sept. 27. In Frankfurt, Germany,
temperatures will fall 3.5 degrees Celsius below normal levels on the 28th, while
France and Spain will see temperatures 3-4 degrees lower than the seasonal
norm.
"It will
turn even colder early next week as a plunge of Arctic air surges southwards,
and a strong northerly wind will accentuate the chilly feel," according to
the UK's Met Office.

How an
obscure intelligence-linked party fixed a second Brexit
referendum and torpedoed Corbyn
https://thegrayzone.com/2022/09/24/intellligence-brexit-referendum-corbyn/
by Kit Klarenberg
The pro-EU Renew party emerged from out of nowhere at the height of “Corbynmania,” pushing for a second Brexit
referendum that led to the Labour leader’s demise.
The intelligence backgrounds of Renew’s founders were
kept under wraps – until now.
When Britain’s little-remembered Renew Party officially launched in the
heart of Westminster in February of 2018, its founders addressed a room of
mostly empty chairs. The party’s youthful and little-known co-founder,
Chris Coghlan, announced a bold pro-EU agenda
centered on forcing a second Brexit referendum.
Founded in
the midst of a surge in popular support for the Labour
Party under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, Renew
arrived on the electoral scene at a time when the British establishment feared
a genuine left-wing takeover of 10 Downing Street. While its launch
initially attracted mockery from the press, with The Sunday Times describing it as a
“damp squib,” Renew eventually played a decisive but hitherto unacknowledged
role in Corbyn’s downfall.
During the
2017 General Election, Corbyn won significant support
on a manifesto endorsing Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union. But by
2019, a not insignificant component of the party’s platform was convening a
second referendum on London’s EU membership, which set him and the party he led
up for a historic defeat.
His reversal
was at odds with the electorate’s majority will, and a great many of Labour’s working class supporters. As such, in December
2019, Britons elected effusively pro-Brexit former
mayor of London, Boris Johnson, while Labour suffered
its most crushing defeat since 1935. Corbyn resigned
as party chief the very next day.
While Corbyn’s support for a Brexit
do-over during the 2019 General Election is typically viewed as a well-meaning
but dangerously misguided political miscalculation, a closer look at the
origins of the campaign for a second referendum reveals a far more sinister
plot.
Indeed, calls
for a second referendum did not originate from the British grassroots, but
rather from the obscure Renew. As this investigation will reveal, Renew was
established by operatives with deep, cohering ties to Britain’s military and intelligence
establishment, including a long-standing psychological warfare specialist.

How Covert
British Information Wars Target Russia, Threatening Civilians and Journalists
https://www.mintpressnews.com/covert-british-information-war-targets-russia/281975/
by Kit Klarenberg
In late July, a shocking interview with a
captured Azov Battalion fighter began circulating online.
In the clip,
the prisoner-of-war claimed that Oleksiy Arestovych, once a key advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, had, prior to
the war, ordered his Neo-Nazi regiment (among other military units) to carry
out and film “brutal murders” of captured Russian soldiers in service of an
“information campaign.”
The purpose
of this effort, the Azov fighter claimed, was to transmit the grisly footage to
Russia in order to stoke anti-war sentiment among the population, and thus
protests and upheaval.
Incendiary
confessions and allegations emanating from prisoners-of-war should always be
treated with intense skepticism. The likelihood they will be made under
significant duress, and/or result from extensive coaching,
is invariably high. Nonetheless, there are sound reasons not to reflexively
discount the nameless combatant’s testimony.
While you
would barely know it from Western media reporting, countless Russian soldiers have been
tortured and killed in the most savage ways
imaginable post-capture, each and every horrifying incident representing a grave war crime. There are
numerous reports of prisoners being burnt with
blowtorches and/or having their eyes gouged out before
execution, and even those kept alive are frequently shot in
their kneecaps to cripple them for life. Accompanying clips are voluminous, and
have traveled widely.
As such,
questions can only abound over whether this is a matter of dedicated strategy
for Kiev, rather than the isolated, vengeful actions of individual soldiers or
units, particularly given numerous officials have made dire public threats
about the fate that awaits Russians should they participate in the war. For
example, a senior battlefield doctor told Ukrainian state media in late March
he had ordered his staff to
castrate captives, as they were “cockroaches”.
Arestovych has also over the years made
numerous deeply concerning comments endorsing
ISIS, in particular the terror group’s “cruelty for show,” which he believes to
be a “wise strategy.”
“They are acting very
correctly…Those methods, the world needs them, even though this means
terrorism, medieval levels of cruelty, burning people alive, shooting them or
cutting off their heads. This is absolutely the way of the future,” he said in
one TV interview.
Even more compellingly,
leaked documents reviewed by MintPress show
covert plans to “achieve influence” with Russians and turn them against the war
and their government have been drawn up by a shadowy British intelligence
contractor, led by an individual intimately tied to a previous clandestine
effort aimed at achieving the same end, using atrocity propaganda from the
Syrian crisis, in which Ukraine was also central.
As we shall see, there is
no reason to believe this effort will be anything but counterproductive, and in
the process put the liberty if not lives of Russians at significant risk, while
emboldening the Kremlin significantly, and furthering its informational
objectives.

Giorgia Meloni Wins Voting in Italy, in
Breakthrough for Europe’s Hard Right
September 25,
2022
ROME
— Italy turned a page of European history on Sunday by electing a
hard-right coalition led by Giorgia Meloni, whose long record of bashing the European Union,
international bankers and migrants has sown concern about the nation’s
reliability in the Western alliance.
Results
released early Monday showed that Ms. Meloni, the
leader of the nationalist Brothers of Italy, a party descended from the
remnants of fascism, had led a right-wing coalition to a majority in
Parliament, defeating a fractured left and a resurgent anti-establishment
movement.
It will still
be weeks before the new Italian Parliament is seated and a new government is
formed, leaving plenty of time for political machinations and horse trading in
a coalition with major differences. But Ms. Meloni’s
strong showing, with about 26 percent of the vote, the highest of any single party,
makes her the prohibitive favorite to become the country’s first female prime
minister.
While she is
a strong supporter of Ukraine, her coalition partners deeply admire
Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin, and have criticized sanctions against
Russia.

- HARD WORK
HIS CREED -
Scholar and
Editor, Self Taught, Is Premier at Thirty-Eight
ONCE A
SOCIALIST LEADER
Spectre of a Bolshevik Government Led Him to Organize Fascisti and Upset Cabinet.
By Alice Rohe
November 5,
1922
EVERYTHING is
possible in Italy. The speaker was Benite [sic]
Mussolini, the new Italian Premier; the place was Rome; the time— just the
other day. Since then his words have become reality. He has been swept into the
seats of the mighty on that overpowering wave of Fascismo.
Just as Fascismo is a political phenomenon without
parallel in history, so is Mussolini a leader without precedent. He is the
political phenomenon of modern Italy, risen like a
flame from the ashes of her cumbersome, confusing, parasite-covered
bureaucratic régime.
To interview
Benito Mussolini is not only to interview Italy’s “Man of the Hour,” but
Italy’s “Man of Tomorrow.” He is that person, to the lack of whom Italy has
long attributed her political misfortune—a strong man.
Mussolini has
brought into the Italian situation that which it has lacked, and his achievements

Meloni's Right-Wing Alliance Wins Clear Majority In Italian Elections
https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/melonis-right-wing-alliance-wins-clear-majority-italian-elections
First Sweden, now Italy.
Europe's
unelected authoritarian ruler, Ursula von der Leyen, is
not going to be happy: according to early exit polls out
of Italy's national election, the right-wing bloc of Giorgia
Meloni - which the ultra-left wing press just can't
stop comparing to Mussolini - is set for a historic, if largely expected,
victory and a clear majority (if, however, not a super-majority) which will
propel Meloni to the top of the Italian government as
the country's next prime minister, ushering in a historic right-wing shift for
a country that - like Sweden
until two weeks ago - has traditionally been very
left-wing.
Meloni's Brothers of Italy party, which won just 4% of the vote
during the last national election in 2018, won the biggest share of the vote in
Sunday’s parliamentary elections with around 22.5%-26.5% of the vote according
to an exit poll released by Italian national broadcaster Rai.
She is now set to become prime minister but would require approval from junior
partners in her coalition to assume the role.

Defamation of Giorgia Meloni
Refuted

(English
Version, World Congress of Families 2019 Speech)
by Robert W Malone MD, MS
(14:02)
The video
above is of a fantastic speech that was given by new (incoming) Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni to the World Congress of Families in 2019. In this
video, I am providing a voiceover, because (of course) she presents in Italian.
In my
opinion, the importance of this speech is that it really puts the lie to the
mainstream media storyline that Meloni and her
Brothers of Italy (Fratelli d''Italia)
are fascists. The words I am speaking in the video are an English translation
of her words, and although I endorse many aspects of her platform, the views
being presented are not necessarily mine. In particular, I agree with many of
the points which she made (particularly about personal responsibility as well
as the importance of family and children), but not all.
Once again,
as we have seen in so many other situations, the corporate media has pushed a
reactive narrative regarding Meloni and Brothers of
Italy which is quite twisted, and does not represent the actual reality of
their political position. This recent hyperventilation from The
Atlantic is typical, titled “The Return of
Fascism in Italy”.
In the speech
highlighted here, Meloni is demonstrating the oratorial skill of a seasoned Italian politician (which she
absolutely is). The backstory to this truth is that
she is operating within a very constrained “Overton window” of
political speech, in which she is unable to deviate from the established
reality of Italy now having become a sort of vassal state (economically
speaking) to the EU overlords in Brussels.
In many ways,
her positions are very consistent with the many Catholics who are not aligned
with the current Pope. As many have noted, her only political freedom to
differentiate herself and her party from other Italian political parties
involves the cultural positions which she takes. Italy is completely
financially dependent on Brussels now, which in large part demonstrates the
consequences of a nation state loosing control of its
own currency.
A more
realistic and nuanced, less stereotyped analysis of the political reality
within which Giorgia Meloni
and the Brothers of Italy operate can be found in this article by Thomas Fazi,
published in the UK-based online journal “UnHerd”,
entitled Giorgia Meloni is no radical: Italian voters know she won't change anything. Bottom
line: if there is Fascism going on here, it is based in Brussels with the EU
leadership, not in Rome with Meloni and the Brothers
of Italy.

“Ditch Google and Gmail Before It’s Too Late”
https://takecontrol.substack.com/p/how-to-ditch-google-completely
by Dr. Mercola
Google isn't just censoring information via its search engine - while about 50% of our subscribers are using Gmail accounts, the delivery rate is HALF of email providers like this one.
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- Many understand that Google is filtering and massively censoring information through its search engine, but it also has the power to censor in other areas, including your personal email if you’re using Gmail
- The technocratic cabal is pushing the world toward global tyranny, and Google is one of the primary supporters, aiders and abettors, of this scheme
- Google catches every single move you make online if you’re using a Google-based product. All Google products are interconnected, and the data from all their different products and services are collected to build your personality profile, which is both used to manipulate you, and sold to third parties to be used in whatever way they like
- Google poses several unique threats to society. It’s a surveillance agency with military connections and covert surveillance powers, it’s a censoring agency with the ability to restrict or block access to websites across the internet, and it has the power to manipulate public opinion
- Without Google, the technocrats’ dream of a One World Government would likely never happen, as it relies on social engineering and artificial intelligence. Google is a frontrunner and expert in both, and has the ability to control entire populations
