Biggest Lie in World History: There Never Was A Pandemic. The Data Base is Flawed. The Covid Mandates including the Vacc
Biggest Lie in World History: There Never Was A Pandemic. The Data Base is Flawed. The Covid Mandates including the Vaccine are Invalid.
Destabilizing the social, political and economic structure of 190
sovereign countries cannot constitute a “solution” to combating the
virus. But that was the imposed “solution”, which was implemented in several stages from the very outset of the cor... 9  |
 The New Guard: Ten political journalists reflect on starting their careers during the Trump era and look ahead to what c This piece delves into the difficulties young journalists face starting out in the Trump era, with all its distrust of the "fake media." An often refreshing read away from the usual mainstream news or tailored selections I make during a week is the Columbia Journalism Review. It's produced by the university. And its job is to step back and look at how the MSM is doing its reporting -- from a journalistic ... |
The All-Seeing "i": Apple Just Declared War on Your Privacy
Ed Snowden explains why I should regret having updated my iOS and MacOS software.
Apple: "Designed in California, Assembled in China, Purchased by You, Owned by Us."
The NSA already tracks everything we do on the internet doesn't it? Yes, this makes it easier but is it really that much more intrusive than what we already have to deal with? Ed thinks so. I haven't the knowledge to disa... |
 The Facebook Loophole That Lets World Leaders Deceive and Harass Their Citizens The investigation shows how Facebook has allowed major abuses of its platform in poor, small and non-western countries in order to prioritize addressing abuses that attract media attention or affect the US and other wealthy countries. The company acted quickly to address political manipulation affecting countries such as the US, Taiwan, South Korea and Poland, while moving slowly or not at all on cases in Afghanistan, Iraq, ... |
 What the History of Pandemics Can Teach Us About Resilience Five years ago, I decided to write a novel set in the aftermath of a terrible pandemic. The novel was an alternate history, a revisionist Western set in the 19th century, and I ended up doing copious research on everything from cattle brands to midwifery. But I’m somewhat embarrassed to say now that my research on public health disasters was relatively slight. Essentially, I pulled up a list of flu outbreaks, picked ... 1 |
 Charles Eisenstein: "We Are Past Democracy Now" As a writer who has for the last twenty years upheld countercultural views on many issues, I face a dilemma. The evidence I can cite to buttress my views is fading from the knowledge commons. The sources I might use to undermine dominant narratives are illegitimate precisely because they undermine dominant narratives. The guardians of the internet enforce this illegitimacy through a million means: algorithmic suppression, ten... 5 |

A Theory About Conspiracy Theories
More than 1 in 3 Americans believe that the Chinese government engineered the coronavirus as a weapon, and another third are convinced that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has exaggerated the threat of Covid-19 to undermine President Trump.
The numbers, from a survey released on Sept. 21 by the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center, may or may not taper off as communities begin t... 4 |
 Why the GOP's 'anti-science bias' is Unpatriotic in post-covid-19 America! Per the linked article: "We should defend Western Civilization's best achievements. Let us start with something obvious from which we all benefit. Let us defend science: the root of our prosperity, strength and well-being." To survive Covid-19, we can’t turn out back on what is responsible for the material wealth and power that has made Western Civilization, so successful over the last 500 years. In 1... 2 |

 Scientific American: "How Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Distorted Vaccine Science" Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Tuesday that he will head up a panel on vaccine safety for Donald Trump. The president-elect’s transition team spokeswoman later walked that back, saying that he is “exploring the possibility” of forming a panel on autism, but “no decisions have been made.” Let’s hope Trump drops any idea of a vaccine panel headed by Kennedy. For more than a decade, Kenned... 7 |
 Malicious Bots and Trolls Spread Vaccine Misinformation Social media have become one of the preeminent ways of disseminating accurate information about vaccines. However, a lot of the vaccine information propagated across social media in the United States has been inaccurate or misleading. At a time when vaccine-preventable diseases are on the rise, vaccine misinformation has become a cause of concern to public health officials. A 2018 study showed that a lot of anti-vacci... 2 |
 The Psychology Behind Why People Believe Coronavirus Conspiracy Theories Bill Gates is plotting a way to vaccinate the entire population. 5G towers sparked the spread of COVID-19. The coronavirus was created in a Chinese lab as a bioweapon. A number of conspiracy theories like these are circulating right now, offering creative (and implausible) explanations as to why and how the coronavirus got such a foothold across the globe. One video ― called &ldq... 4 |
 How the 'Plandemic' Movie and Its Falsehoods Spread Widely Online There have been plenty of jaw-dropping digital moments during the coronavirus pandemic. There was the time this month when Taylor Swift announced she would air her “City of Lover” concert on television. The time that the cast of “The Office” reunited for an 18-minute-long Zoom wedding. And the time last month that the Pentagon posted three videos that showed unexplained “aerial... |
 Naomi Klein, Author of "The Shock Doctrine", On "Coronavirus Capitalism" Author, activist and journalist Naomi Klein says the coronavirus crisis, like earlier ones, could be a catalyst to shower aid on the wealthiest interests in society, including those most responsible for our current vulnerabilities, while offering next to nothing to most workers and small businesses. In 2007, Klein wrote “The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism.” Now she argues President Trump’s p... |
The Largest Unethical Medical Experiment in Human History
Dr. Ronald N. Kostoff of the Georgia Institute of Technology makes a thoroughly documented case that the build-out of modern wireless technology is an unethical medical experiment on subjects (nearly 8 billion) who are largely misinformed but include an informed minority who do not consent, and another informed minority willing to gamble with their health to obtain the well-known benefits. "Even though many of these repo... 2 |
 Dr Birx: The Data Doesn't Match the Doomsday Predictions White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Deborah Birx warned the public not to panic when they hear about models and projections of the pandemic's spread. "Models are models," she said. "When people start talking about 20% of a population getting infected, it's very scary, but we don't have data that matches that based on our experience." She said the media should not "make the implication that when they need a... 2 |
 The Digital Dictators: How Technology Strengthens Autocracy The Stasi, East Germany’s state security service, may have been one of the most pervasive secret police agencies that ever existed. It was infamous for its capacity to monitor individuals and control information flows. By 1989, it had almost 100,000 regular employees and, according to some accounts, between 500,000 and two million informants in a country with a population of about 16 million. Its sheer manpowe... |

 Study: Winners overlook rigged games' lack of fairness WASHINGTON — When it comes to fairness and privilege, a new study finds it really is not about how you play the game. It's about whether you win or lose. A new experiment, played out as a card game, shows that even when the deck is literally stacked in people's favor — and they know it — most winners still think it's fair anyway. Losers don't, according to a study in Wednesday's journal Science Advances . ... |
 Expert says Trump's loyalty to polluters is killing people - and he's using 'fake science' to cover it up The Trump administration has instructed the EPA to use a new method for projecting the future health risks of air pollution, which would significantly reduce last year’s estimate that up to 1,400 additional premature deaths will occur every year due to a proposed new rule on coal plant emissions, according to The New York Times. The plan is controversial, in part, because experts claim it has not been peer-review... 11 |

 Facebook's Dangerous Push to Appease the Right The New York Times exposé of Facebook reveals not only their lies and smears, but also just how much they kowtowed to the right.

(Soros’s charitable organization says it has donated to ... 5 |
Blame Wikipedia: 'Dead' Senator Hatch trolls Google over solid 'fact-checking'

 The Blowback Against Facebook, Google and Amazon Is Just Beginning Charles Hugh SmithThe blowback is social and political: people are starting to question the social and political costs of these tech darlings' dominance and the billions in profits they reap.The typical corporation can buy political influence, but Facebook and Google are manipulating the machinery of democracy itself.

 Face-Swap Porn and the End of Reality In a dank corner of the internet, it is possible to find actresses from Game of Thrones or Harry Potter engaged in all manner of sex acts. Or at least to the world the carnal figures look like those actresses, and the faces in the videos are indeed their own. Everything south of the neck, however, belongs to different women. An artificial intelligence has almost seamlessly stitched the familiar visage... 1 |

The political representatives of the American ruling class are engaged in a conspiracy to suppress free speech. Under the guise of combating “trolls” and “fake news” supposedly controlled by Russia, the most basic constitutional rights enumerated in the First Amendment are under direct attack.
