November 6, 2022
Dear Colleagues and
Friends of CEIMSA,
In
this period of intense contradictions, when class struggle has ascended to a
higher and more complex level, we are asked to defer our lived perspectives to
the external viewpoints of our would-be rulers, who have taken the notion of
cultural hegemony to another level, with the help of technology and
sophisticated social engineering. We are made to feel abandoned, when in fact we
are simply stripped of traditional delusions and faced with a fundamental
truth, i.e. that we have more power over our lives and the institutions that
shape us than we think we have, if only we start moving in that direction,
guided by good will, dialogue and above all class consciousness.
The 23+ items below will bring to your attention some of the more critical discussions
found this week in the Anglophone social media, including what might be
described as “false consciousness,” the self-deceptions which serve to disempower people who would benefit from taking more control
over their lives at work and at home by discussing matters frankly with others whom they trust and who are
experiencing similar relationships.
Sincerely,
Francis McCollum Feeley

Omissions, Distortions, and Exaggerations Feeds the Fuel for War Against Russia
by Michael Welch, George Eliason, and Glenn Michalchuk
(audio, 59:00)
The Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) held its
twenty-seventh Triennial Congress in downtown Winnipeg from October 28-30. [1]
Two of the star speakers on hand were Canadian
federal government ministers Chrystia Freeland and Anita Anand.
These politicians were particularly active on the Russia-Ukraine war and in
answering and addressing the question of how Canada can support Ukraine.
The Ministers in question, apparently in solidarity with
just about every politician in the House of Commons, favoured more military aid.
Canada announced in February that it was providing
$600 million in military assistance to the troubled country. There was also
talk about Canadian Armed Forces supplying training and capacity building under
Operation UNIFIER, which was launched in 2015 and was recently expanded until
2025. [2]
Continual bantering in major media coverage about
the “illegal” and “unprovoked” attack by Russia has some individuals comparing Putin to Adolf Hitler!
Rarely if ever do they mention NATO moving closer to
the Russian border – a direct breach
of the contract between Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and U.S.
Secretary of State James Baker in 1990.
They ignore the evidence of a coup
orchestrated by the U.S. in February of 2014 and the previous
talks between U.S. Assistant Secretary
of State for European and Eurasian affairs Victoria Nuland and U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt indicating they (not the people) would choose the next Prime Minister of
Ukraine.
Also ignored is the rise in
Neo-Nazis including inside the military under the
changed government, the killings
of as many as 14,000 people in the Donbass region over the previous eight years, and the announcement by President Zelenskiy that Ukraine may pursue nuclear
weapons to counter Russia.
While this program and Global Research does not
approve of the methods taken by Russia in Ukraine (just as we did not approve
of the actions by the United States in Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Yugoslavia,
Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc) the Global Research News Hour finds it
necessary to present more of the facts and context of the fight before the
bloody conflict escalates into the horrific.
In our first half hour, we hear from George Eliason,
an American journalist resident in Luhansk, who
relays to us his observations of what has happened there on the ground for the
last eight years, the projections of the referenda on rejoining the Russian
Federation being a sham, and the hidden history of the fascist like formations
taking charge of power in Kyiv.
In our second half hour, we hear speaking clips from Ministers Freeland and Anand at the recent Ukrainian Canadian Congress. We
also hear from Glenn Michalchuk, a peace activist in Winnipeg, who was
protesting alongside others against the government’s championing war in Ukraine
instead of aiding in the brokering of a peace agreement to end the war.

The
Ever Widening War
https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-ever-widening-war/5797891
by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
American
soldiers are now in Ukraine. Allegedly, they are there only to monitor what is
happening to the arms deliveries from the US and NATO countries.
As previously
reported, not all of the vast amount of heavy weapons
sent by the West end up on the battlefield. Instead, some find their way into
the weapons market where they are sold to who for who’s profit? The same with the money, much of which ends up in
unintended pockets.
The US State
Department’s explanation is that the US troops are in Ukraine, not to fight,
but to “assist the government of Ukraine with handling US security assistance.”
In other words, to identify and stop the theft of resources meant for war
against Russia.
But why is this the job of uniformed troops?
Is this a way to
sneak US uniformed soldiers into Ukraine and maneuver them into combat?

(55:44)
The case of Julian Assange,
the Wikileaks founder who published huge troves of
sensitive government documents and classified military logs, has been going on
for over a decade. Assange has been under house arrest, hidden from extradition inside the
Ecuadorian embassy in London and since 2019 has been held in Belmarsh prison.
During
that time, he has married and had two children with a lawyer called Stella Moris. Moris first met Assange as a researcher on his case and they were forced to
conduct their relationship under close surveillance. Moris’
fears for her husband are not only personal but philosophical, she wonders what precedent Assange’s case will set
for press freedom.
Will Assange be remembered as a pioneer of the free
internet or as one of its victims?
With
his extradition case looming, UnHerd’s Freddie Sayers
met Stella Moris to hear her case for her husband,
Julian Assange.

Biden's boilerplate defense strategy: it's all about
China - Responsible Statecraft
by Michael D. Swaine
The long-awaited unclassified U.S. 2022
National Defense Strategy has finally appeared. As expected, much
of it is devoted to describing how to counter the dire threats to U.S.
interests posed by China’s military (the People’s Liberation Army).
While avoiding the kind of shrill, inflated rhetoric
so common in Trump-era security documents, the 2022 NDS unsurprisingly
continues past broad-brush characterizations of China as an aggressive nation
working hard on all fronts to weaken the U.S. and refashion both the
Indo-Pacific and the (undefined) international system to suit its authoritarian
interests.
There is arguably a greater emphasis in this NDS on
the threats to homeland defense, thus reinforcing the existing narrative of
China as a comprehensive security challenge to the United States. And this, of
course, is seen to require a comprehensive, heightened effort not only to
prevent Chinese aggression but to counter Chinese influence virtually
everywhere.

The Wolfowitz Doctrine Led
to the Disastrous War in Iraq: Now it is Leading to a
Potentially Even More Cataclysmic War in Asia
by Aidan O’Brien
The Project for
a New American Racist Century is omnipresent in the capitals of Europe today.
From Dublin to Berlin—Ukrainian colors are on flagpoles, bus stops and
buildings. The subtext is blonde hair and blue eyes.
America and its
European clients (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization—NATO) now see Ukraine
much like Israel sees the West Bank—a frontier beyond which are subhuman Asians.
While Israel has
built an apartheid wall—708 kilometers long and up to 8 meters high—that
separates itself from Palestinians, NATO has just built an apartheid regime
that separates itself from Russians.
By sanctioning,
canceling, blockading and demonizing Russia, NATO is declaring that Russia (and
by extension Asia) is beyond the pale, is untouchable, inferior, uncivilized,
barbaric—in a word, “not like us.”
The liberal
capitalist mask has suddenly been replaced by a Ukrainian flag. Ethnicity and
extreme nationalism—the Nazi kind—have been weaponized in Europe again. And NATO did it. Why?

CovertAction Bulletin: The U.S. State Department in the Metaverse:
How the CIA Infiltrated Facebook
by Rachel Hu and Chris Garaffa
(audio, 46:10)
Why is Facebook so desperate to make the Metaverse happen? Are the techno feudalists right when they say Facebook is too big to fail? With the decline of Meta, it seems a new era may be dawning
in Silicon Valley as Facebook’s failed projects
continue to pile up.
New reporting in The Intercept outlines how the
Department of Homeland Security is looking to increase the U.S. government’s
influence on social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and more. We examine Meta’s expansion
strategy and the role that U.S. intelligence has played in the last few years
within the social media giant’s ranks.
To talk about
all of this and in particular how the U.S. state inserts itself into these
networks, we’re joined by Alan MacLeod, Senior Staff Writer/Podcast Producer, @MintPressNews. Alan has written about the many ex-CIA
employees who now work at Facebook, and overall the
government’s efforts to influence social media.

The Former Israeli Spies Working in Top Jobs at
Google, Facebook and Microsoft
by Alan Macleod
A MintPress study has found that hundreds of former agents of the notorious Israeli spying
organization, Unit 8200, have attained positions of influence in many of the world’s
biggest tech companies, including Google, Facebook,
Microsoft and Amazon.
The Israeli
Defense Forces’ (IDF) Unit 8200 is infamous for surveilling the indigenous Palestinian population, amassing kompromat on individuals for the purposes of blackmail and
extortion. Spying on the world’s rich and famous, Unit
8200 hit the headlines last year, after the Pegasus scandal broke. Former Unit 8200 officers designed and
implemented software that spied on tens of thousands of politicians and likely
aided in the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Dr. Peter McCullough Is Being Progressively Stripped
of His Medical Credentials
by Steve
Kirsch
Dr. Peter
McCullough, one of the most respected doctors in the world, has been a beacon
of light throughout this pandemic. His reward for speaking
the truth? He’s being stripped of his credentials.
Peter
McCullough is an author of 677 articles published in the scientific
peer-reviewed journals. He’s one of the most respected cardiologists in the
world. He’s been right about everything throughout the pandemic. He has an
encyclopedic memory of every paper he’s ever read. And he’s just a wonderful,
nice person to boot. You really never met a nicer guy.
He’s sacrificed
everything so he can speak the truth about the COVID policies. If there was one
COVID advisor that the government should be listening to, Dr. Peter McCullough
would be at the top of every list.
So how is he
being rewarded for having the courage to speak the truth?
I got this message from him this morning:
I was terminated as the Editor-In-Chief of Cardiorenal Medicine and Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine after years of service and
rising impact factors. There was no phone call, no board meeting, no due process. Just e-mails or
certified letters. Powerful dark forces are working in academic
medicine to expunge any resistance to the vax.
Yesterday I was stripped of my board certifications
in Internal Medicine and Cardiology after decades of perfect clinical
performance, board scores, and hundreds of peer reviewed publications.
None of this will stop until there is a “needle in
every arm.”
Want to see what the medical journal said about his
termination? Here it is:

COVID-19 Vax Destroys
Hearts & Brains of Billions of People – Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi
by Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi and Greg Hunter
World renowned
microbiologist and virologist professor Sucharit Bhakdi MD has won many medical and
scientific awards and has more than 300 peer reviewed research papers. Dr. Bhakdi was one of the first top global doctors to warn
about the deadly and debilitating effects of the CV19 vax.
He was right. Dr. Bhakdi says there is proof that if
the injections reach the heart or the brain, they will be damaged beyond
repair.
Dr. Bhakdi brings up one
autopsy that found this and explains,
“In multiple parts of the brain in this deceased
man, the doctor found the same thing. . . . He found the damned spike proteins
in the smallest capillaries of the brain. . . There is no repair because what
the doctor found was these small vessels were attacked by the immune system and
destroyed. The doctor found irrefutable evidence of brain cell damage of
cells that are dead and dying. This poor fellow died because his brain
cells were dying. . . . The same patient that died . . . . had this multifocal, meaning at many different locations, necrotizing, meaning
dying, encephalitis. . . . He had typical things being seen now in people post vax. They lose their personality. They lose
their minds. They lose their capacity to think. They become
demented. They can’t hear. They can’t speak. They can’t
see. They are no longer the humans that they were. They are
destroyed human beings. Their brains are destroyed. The doctor found
something so terrible he had to publish right away. This was published October 1, 2022, in
“Vaccine,” which is a leading scientific journal. It’s peer reviewed, and it was accepted right away. . . . It
can be read by anyone. I beseech you to read it for yourself. The
doctor doing the autopsy found apart from these terrible things happening to
the brain, the same things were happening in the heart. It was happening
in the heart of the same patient. He saw these same damned devil designed
spike proteins. This means the gene that the perpetrators injected into
billions of people reach the vessels of the brain and the heart. They are
killing people. They are killing people in the most terrible, terrifying
and tormenting way.”
Dr. Ryan Cole, Dr. Mike Yeadon and I always sing the
same thing. You have to realize we did not know each other until Covid came, and there are so many others. They are
not stupid, and they are wonderful and intelligent people, and if everyone is
saying the same thing, you have to start thinking we may be right. If we
are right, and I say it’s not me, I am one of thousands, and these thousands
are right maybe, you are killing yourself and your children and your loved
ones. Why do you do this? Why?”
Dr. Bhakdi contends that
the world should stop the injections now. . . . and Covid is a “criminal hoax.”

What Is in the So-called COVID-19 “Vaccines”?
https://www.globalresearch.ca/what-so-called-covid-19-vaccines/5797682
by David Hughes
Abstract
Between July
2021 and August 2022, evidence of undisclosed ingredients in the COVID-19
“vaccines” was published by at least 26 researchers/research teams in 16
different countries across five continents using spectroscopic and microscopic
analysis. Despite operating largely independently of one another, their
findings are remarkably similar and highlight the clear and present danger that
the world’s population has been lied to regarding the
contents of the COVID-19 “vaccines”. This raises grave questions about the true
purpose of the dangerous experimental injections that have so far been shot
into 5.33 billion people (over two thirds of the human race), including
children, apparently without their informed consent regarding the contents.
Surprise findings include sharp-edged geometric structures, fibrous or
tube-like structures, crystalline formations, “microbubbles”,
and possible self-assembling nanotechnology. The blood of people who have
received one or more COVID-19 “vaccines” appears, in case after case, to
contain foreign bodies and to be seriously degraded, with red blood cells
typically in Rouleaux formation. Taken together,
these 26 studies make a powerful case for the full force of scientific
investigation to be brought to bear on the COVID-19 “vaccine” contents. If the
findings of these 26 studies are confirmed, then the political implications are
nothing short of revolutionary: a global crime against humanity has been committed,
in which every government, every regulator, every establishment media
organization, and all the professions have been complicit.

Shocking Details of Zionist Biological Warfare Against Palestinians Exposed
https://www.mintpressnews.com/shocking-details-israel-zionist-biological-warfare-exposed/282406/
by Kit Klarenberg
Academics Benny
Morris of Ben-Gurion University and Benjamin Z. Kedar of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem have produced an extraordinary
paper based on a
welter of archival material, exposing in disturbing detail the hitherto obfuscated
dimensions of an operation by Zionist forces to use chemical and biological
weapons against both invading Arab armies and local civilians during the 1948
war.
That brutal
conflict created the state of Israel, and led to permanent displacement of hundreds
of thousands of Palestinians, known as the “Nakba” –
Arabic for disaster, catastrophe, or cataclysm.
Morris and Kedar offer a highly granular timeline of events, starting
in the initial months of that year, as Britain prepared to evacuate Mandatory
Palestine on May 15. In the lead up to that date, Zionist settlers were very much on the defensive,
with militias “continuously” attacking their enclaves and convoys, with the
support of neighboring armies, due to their joint rejection of UN Resolution 181,
passed in November 1947, which proposed partitioning Palestine into separate
Arab and Jewish states.
With Egypt,
Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and Transjordan all having expressed an intention to
invade Palestine when Britain left – and having been actively
encouraged in this regard
by British intelligence – Zionist guerrillas began mounting an offensive, not
merely to neutralize Arab fighters, but capture territory, destroying houses
and civilian infrastructure along the way, to prevent displaced residents from
returning.
In order to
augment the latter component of this effort, ensure Zionist seizure of Arab
villages and towns was permanent, facilitate easier conquest of further areas,
and hinder the progress of advancing Arab armies, these militias began
poisoning wells with bacteria to create local epidemics of typhoid, dysentery,
malaria and other diseases, in direct violation of the 1925 Geneva Protocol, which strictly prohibits “the use of
bacteriological methods of warfare.”
As we shall see,
the Zionists were suitably emboldened by the clandestine operation’s success
that they eventually attempted to expand their poisoning campaign to invading
Arab armies’ home soil.

The politics of slow unbinding
A new resistance
is emerging in the West Bank. Shadi Jarar’ah APA images
https://electronicintifada.net/content/politics-slow-unbinding/36556
by Abdaljawad Omar
If one were to
spend one’s time reading only Israeli analyses of current events in the
occupied West Bank, one might come to the conclusion that the resistance we are
witnessing there at the moment has no legitimate cause for its eruption.
In the Israeli
view, this is not about Israel’s expansionism, its refusal to reach a political
compromise, its theft of land or Palestinian tax revenue.
It has nothing
to do with trigger-happy soldiers, a military matrix of control over an
occupied people or the Israeli state’s tacit and overt support for organized
and armed settler militias roaming the West Bank creating havoc.
In Israeli media
discourse, none of the above has anything to do with the rebirth of a
semi-organized Palestinian armed resistance in the West Bank.
Such wilful blindness is not to say that the genesis of the
current political moment is not highly complex. It is. The emerging
semi-organized resistance in the West Bank is a multifaceted phenomenon that
was spurred by a mixture of factors arising from the reality of Israel’s
occupation.

Chinn and five
other Israel lobby representatives took part in the secret meeting, along with
Reed and two of his staff. The minutes conclude that the lobbyists had
established “a regular channel of communication” with Reed and his office.
The minutes were
written by Reed’s aide Owain Mumford, who emailed
them to Ellie Robinson, an aide to Labour leader Keir Starmer,
as well as to senior party officials Andrew Whyte and Alex Barros-Curtis.
Neither the Labour Party, Steve Reed nor any of the Israel lobby groups
involved responded to requests for comment.

Is Israel attempting to influence foreign elections?
https://www.mintpressnews.com/israel-attempting-influence-foreign-elections/282288/
by Jessica Buxbaum
0n October 30,
Brazilians will again head to the polls as far-right incumbent president Jair Bolsonaro faces off against
left-wing former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in a tight run-off election.
As the second
round nears — and with tensions between the candidates high — Israeli
involvement in Brazil’s elections is coming under scrutiny.
During the
election’s first round, Lula won 48% of the vote, while Bolsonaro edged slightly behind at 43%.
The Brazilian
Superior Electoral Court announced the elections took place without any credible
reports of electoral fraud. Yet that has not stopped Bolsonaro from peddling claims that voting machines are vulnerable to fraud and pushing for public counting of votes.
Echoing Donald
Trump’s 2020 election rhetoric, Bolsonaro’s campaign
is not the only entity concerned with the country’s electoral process. Brazil’s
Army — in coordination with an Israeli cybersecurity firm — are also questioning elections.
In March 2022,
Israeli cybersecurity company, CySource, signed a cooperation agreement with the Brazilian Army to
train military personnel in cyber defense. However, the contract was called
into question by Lucas Rocha Furtado, deputy attorney
general of Brazil’s Federal Public Ministry (MPF, the acronym in Portuguese),
who considered it a possible threat to the electoral process and requested
Brazil’s Court of Auditors (TCU in Portuguese) to investigate the partnership.

Rights group urges ICC to investigate
"top-ranking" Israeli military lawyer
by Maureen Clare Murphy
A US-based human
rights group filed a complaint on Monday calling on the International Criminal Court to investigate Eyal Toledano,
a senior Israeli military leader.
Democracy for
the Arab World Now (DAWN), a nonprofit group founded by murdered Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, said that Toledano should be investigated for “war crimes and crime against humanity, including
the crime of apartheid.”
The
international court in The Hague has received numerous filings detailing
serious violations against Palestinians, but DAWN’s intervention is unique in
its focus on a specific individual.
DAWN notes that
as West Bank legal advisor between 2016 and 2020, Toledano was “the top-ranking legal authority” in the territory, effectively serving as
“the attorney general of Israel’s occupation.”
Toledano is currently deputy military advocate general,
facilitating the Israeli army’s whitewash self-investigations of its crimes
against Palestinians, including the killing of Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh earlier this year.
In his previous
role, according to DAWN, “Toledano oversaw
and was complicit in the commission of a wide range” of violations, including
home demolitions, forced displacement, mass restrictions on freedom of movement
and advancing Israeli annexation of the West Bank.
During his time
as West Bank legal advisor, the Israeli military “conducted 40 punitive home
demolitions, which displaced 210 people,” DAWN states. Punitive home demolitions are a form of collective punishment – a war crime.
An additional
2,115 Palestinians were displaced as a result of Israel’s confiscation and
demolition of hundreds of residences during Toledano’s tenure.
“Taken together,
when carried out to maintain a system of oppression or domination, these and
other crimes amount to the crime of apartheid,” according to DAWN.

The Geopolitics of Inequality
https://consortiumnews.com/2022/10/28/the-geopolitics-of-inequality/
by Vijay Prashad
Chaos reigns in
the United Kingdom, where the prime minister’s residence in London – 10 Downing
Street – has seen the entry of Rishi Sunak, one of the
richest men in the country.
Liz Truss was in
office for a mere 45 days, convulsed as her government was by a cycle of
workers’ strikes and the mediocrity of her policies. In her mini budget, which
doomed her government, Truss opted for a full-scale neoliberal assault on the
British public with both tax cuts and unacknowledged cuts to social benefits.
Duilio Pierri, Argentina, “Retorno de los restos” or “Return
of the Remains,” 1987.
The policies
startled the international financial class, whose political role emerged
clearly as wealthy bondholders indicated their loss of faith in the U.K. by
junking government bonds, thereby increasing the cost of government borrowing
and raising the mortgage payments for homeowners.
It was this
wealthy bondholder class that acted as the real opposition to the Truss
government. Even the International Monetary Fund weighed in with a strong statement, saying “the nature of the U.K. measures will
likely increase inequality.”

Neo-Colonialism, International Finance Capital and
the Necessity of Pan-African Sovereignty
by Abayomi Azikiwe
“THE
neo-colonialism of today represents imperialism in its final and perhaps its most dangerous stage. In the past it was possible to
convert a country upon which a neo-colonial regime had been imposed — Egypt in
the nineteenth century is an example — into a colonial territory. Today this
process is no longer feasible. Old-fashioned colonialism is by no means entirely
abolished. It still constitutes an African problem, but it is everywhere on the
retreat. Once a territory has become nominally independent it is no longer
possible, as it was in the last century, to reverse the process. Existing
colonies may linger on, but no new colonies will be created. In place of
colonialism as the main instrument of imperialism we have today
neo-colonialism. The essence of neo-colonialism is that the State which is
subject to it is, in theory, independent and has all the outward trappings of
international sovereignty. In reality its economic system and thus its
political policy is directed from outside.” (Taken from the Introduction to
“Neo-Colonialism: The Last State of Imperialism”, by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, 1965)

Putin Skewers US Ineptitude
https://original.antiwar.com/mcgovern/2022/10/31/putin-skewers-us-ineptitude/
by Ray McGovern
Speaking on Oct.
27 at the Valdai International Discussion Club, Russian President Vladimir
Putin questioned the sanity of those who would "spoil relations with China at the same time
they are supplying billions-worth of weapons to
Ukraine in a fight against Russia."
In answer to a
question on "the growing tensions between China and the United States over
Taiwan," Putin labeled visits by top U.S. officials to Taiwan a
"provocation." Putin added:
"Frankly,
I do not know why they are doing this. … Are they sane? It seems that this runs
completely counter to common sense and logic … This is simply crazy.
"It
may seem that there is a subtle, profound plot behind this. But I think there
is nothing there, no subtle thought. It is just nonsense and arrogance, nothing
else. … Such irrational actions are rooted in arrogance and a sense of
impunity."
Elite, Exceptional People.
What kind of
people are behind what Putin describes? It turns out they come from the same
stock of white-privileged, exceptional, ivy-mantled "Best and Brightest"
that brought us Vietnam. This time, it is President Joe Biden who brought them
in. Giving Biden the benefit of the doubt, I believe he was/is not smart enough
to understand that they have made a big mess of things.
