Pierre Kory & Mary Beth Pfeiffer: As Cancers in the Young Rise, the Pandemic Response Must Be Probed by Maniak in WayOfTheBern

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently released findings of seizures in toddlers and pulmonary embolisms in adults that may have been caused by Covid vaccines. Statistical significance aside, the agency concluded that the risk was worth the benefit.

We question this, with more than one million reports of potential vaccine injuries and 18,000 deaths on the government's own, long-trusted and likely undercounted, early warning system. These, the government takes pains to dismiss.

As evidence mounts and a movement of injured people grows, the Biden administration must recognize this growing public health problem. It must cease to stifle debate that has limited what journals print and what the public knows about vaccine consequences.

The harm is only starting to be recognized.

Forget the AI doom and hype, let's make computers useful | Machine learning has its place, just not in ways that suits today's hypesters by RandomCollection in WayOfTheBern

Good explanation of the issues with calling any part of this field "AI".

With this part of the conclusion being particularly pertinent:

My tendency these days is to try to use the term “machine learning” rather than AI when it’s appropriate, hoping to avoid both the hype and allergic reactions that “AI” now produces.

The term "AI" has now been taken over by marketing departments, so even the debates about how to define intelligence are pretty much meaningless because this isn't even what it applies to anymore.

Quoted thread from Toby Rogers, Ph.D., M.P.P.:

Wait, hold the f*ck up. Michael Mann (creator of the global warming "hockey stick graph") spoke at an EcoHealth Alliance conference this week!? The same EcoHealth Alliance that laundered the money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to create SARS-CoV-2. And Hotez reposted this!??

Holy sh*t they really are all trying to kill us. #OneHealth was involved too. So the global warming people and the biowarfare people and the WHO pandemic treaty people are all the same junta and they really want the peasants to shut up and die. This is wonderfully clarifying.

Just right out in the open, not even trying to hide it. Michael Mann is saying, 'Oh hey, EcoHealth Alliance that just murdered 17 million people, those are my homies!' The battles lines could not be more clearly drawn at this point.

And weird, I have never interacted with Michael Mann. And I'm pre-blocked by him. There is a block list used by the genociders and apparently I'm on it. Offit, Hotez, Reiss and the rest use it too.

I've seen some crazy things on Twitter but this is off the charts crazy. EcoHealth Alliance and Peter Daszak are completely radioactive because they just murdered 17 million people. For @MichaelEMann to align himself with these known mass murderers is bonkers. #OneHealth too.

Reuters: US stops UN from recognizing a Palestinian state through membership by Maniak in WayOfTheBern

The United States on Thursday effectively stopped the United Nations from recognizing a Palestinian state by casting a veto in the Security Council to deny the Palestinian Authority full membership of the world body.

The United States says an independent Palestinian state should be established through direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority and not through U.N. action.

It vetoed a draft resolution that recommended to the 193-member U.N. General Assembly that "the State of Palestine be admitted to membership of the United Nations." Britain and Switzerland abstained, while the remaining 12 council members voted yes.

One century of unfettered crimes against humanity, war crimes, illegal actions, ethnic cleansing, genocide, without any repercussions. Finally a stand is being taken, a tiny prick compared to what Israel has been doing all along, and those mass-murdering zionist toddlers shit their pants and go running to big daddy and its bought government.

They deserve a lot worse, but this is a good start. Hopefully the surrounding Arab countries (outside of the traitors) will keep the ball rolling.

@yanisvaroufakis: The speech that I could not deliver because German police burst into our Berlin venue to disband our Palestine Congress (1930s style). Judge for yourselves the kind of society Germany is becoming when its police bans the following words: by Maniak in WayOfTheBern

[–]Maniak[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Part 2:

So, let’ s be clear: We are here, in Berlin, with our Palestinian Congress because, unlike the German political system and the German media, we condemn genocide and war crimes regardless of who is perpetrating them. Because we oppose Apartheid in the land of Israel-Palestine no matter who has the upper hand – just as we opposed Apartheid in the American South or in South Africa. Because we stand for universal human rights, freedom and equality among Jews, Palestinians, Bedouins and Christians in the Ancient Land of Palestine.

And so that we are even clearer on the questions, legitimate and malignant, that we must always be ready to answer:

 

Do I condemn Hamas’ atrocities?

I condemn every single atrocity, whomever is the perpetrator or the victim. What I do notcondemn is armed resistance to an Apartheid system designed as part of a slow-burning, but inexorable, ethnic cleansing program. Put differently, I condemn every attack on civilians while, at the same time, I celebrate anyone who risks their life to TEAR DOWN THE WALL.

 

Is Israel not engaged in a war for its very existence?

No, it is not. Israel is a nuclear-armed state with perhaps the most technologically advanced army in the world and the panoply of the US military machine having its back. There is no symmetry with Hamas, a group which can cause serious damage to Israelis but which has no capacity whatsoever to defeat Israel’s military, or even to prevent Israel from continuing to implement the slow genocide of Palestinians under the system of Apartheid that has been erected with long-standing US and EU support.

 

Are Israelis not justified to fear that Hamas wants to exterminate them?

Of course they are! Jews have suffered a Holocaust that was preceded with pogroms and a deep-seated antisemitism permeating Europe and the Americas for centuries. It is only natural that Israelis live in fear of a new pogrom if the Israeli army folds. However, by imposing Apartheid on their neighbours, by treating them like sub-humans, the Israeli state is stoking the fires of antisemitism, is strengthening Palestinians and Israelis who just want to annihilate each other and, in the end, contributes to the awful insecurity consuming Jews in Israel and the Diaspora. Apartheid against the Palestinians is the Israelis’ worst self-defence.

 

What about antisemitism?

It is always a clear and present danger. And it must be eradicated, especially amongst the ranks of the Global Left and the Palestinians fighting for Palestinian civil liberties –around the world.

 

Why don’t Palestinians pursue their objectives by peaceful means?

They did. The PLO recognised Israel and renounced armed struggle. And what did they get for it? Absolute humiliation and systematic ethnic cleansing. That is what nurtured Hamas and elevated it the eyes of many Palestinians as the only alternative to a slow genocide under Israel’s Apartheid.

 

What should be done now? What might bring Peace to Israel-Palestine?

  • An immediate ceasefire.
  • The release of all hostages: Hamas’ and the thousands held by Israel.
  • A Peace Process, under the UN, supported by a commitment by the International Community to end Apartheid and to safeguard Equal Civil Liberties for All.
  • As for what must replace Apartheid, it is up to Israelis and Palestinians to decide between the 2-state solution and the solution of a Single Federal Secular State.

 

Friends,

We are here because vengeance is a lazy form of grief.

We are here to promote not vengeance but Peace and Coexistence across Israel-Palestine.

We are here to tell German democrats, including our former comrades of Die Linke, that they have covered themselves in shame long enough – that two wrongs do not one right make – that allowing Israel to get away with war crimes is not going to ameliorate the legacy of Germany’s crimes against the Jewish People.

Beyond today’s Congress, we have a duty, in Germany, to change the conversation. We have a duty to persuade the vast majority of decent Germans out there that universal human rights is what matters. That Never Again means Never Again. For anyone, Jew, Palestinian, Ukrainian, Russian, Yemeni, Sudanese, Rwandan – for everyone, everywhere.

In this context, I am pleased to announce that DiEM25’s German political party MERA25 will be on the ballot paper in the European Parliament election this coming June – seeking the vote of German humanists who crave a Member of European Parliament representing Germany and calling out the EU’s complicity in genocide – a complicity that is Europe’s greatest gift to the antisemites in Europe and beyond.

I salute you all and suggest we never forget that none of us are free if one of us is in chains.

Part 1, since this tweet is too long even for an entire comment:

Friends,

Congratulations, and heartfelt thanks, for being here, despite the threats, despite the ironclad police outside this venue, despite the panoply of the German press, despite the German state, despite the German political system that demonises you for being here.

“Why a Palestinian Congress, Mr Varoufakis?”, a German journalist asked me recently? Because, as Hanan Asrawi once said: “We cannot rely on the silenced to tell us about their suffering.”

Today, Asrawi’s reason has grown depressingly stronger: Because we cannot rely on the silenced who are also massacred and starved to tell us about the massacres and the starvation.

But there is another reason too: Because a proud, a decent people, the people of Germany, are led down a perilous road to a heartless society by being made to associate themselves with another genocide carried out in their name, with their complicity.

I am neither Jewish nor Palestinian. But I am incredibly proud to be here amongst Jews and Palestinians – to blend my voice for Peace and Universal Human Rights with Jewish Voices for Peace and Universal Human Rights – with Palestinian Voices for Peace and Universal Human Rights. Being together, here, today, is proof that Coexistence is Not Only Possible – but that it is here! Already.

“Why not a Jewish Congress, Mr Varoufakis?”, the same German journalist asked me, imagining that he was being smart. I welcomed his question.

For if a single Jew is threatened, anywhere, just because she or he is Jewish, I shall wear the star of David on my lapel and offer my solidarity - whatever the cost, whatever it takes.

So, let’s be clear: If Jews were under attack, anywhere in the world, I would be the first to canvass for a Jewish Congress in which to register our solidarity.

Similarly, when Palestinians are massacred because they are Palestinians – under a dogma that to be dead they must have been Hamas – I shall wear my keffiyeh and offer my solidarity whatever the cost, whatever it takes.

Universal Human Rights are either universal or they mean nothing.

With this in mind, I answered the German journalist’s question with a few of my own:

  • Are 2 million Israeli Jews, who were thrown out of their homes and into an open air prison 80 years ago, still being kept in that open air prison, without access to the outside world, with minimal food and water, no chance of a normal life, of travelling anywhere, and bombed periodically for 80 years? No.

  • Are Israeli Jews being starved intentionally by an army of occupation, their children writhing on the floor, screaming from hunger? No.

  • Are there thousands of Jewish injured children no surviving parents crawling through the rubble of what used to be their homes? No.

  • Are Israeli Jews being bombed by the world’s most sophisticated planes and bombs today? No.

  • Are Israeli Jews experiencing complete ecocide of what little land they can still call their own, not one tree left under which to seek shade or whose fruit to taste? No.

  • Are Israeli Jewish children killed by snipers today at the orders of a member-state of the UN? No.

  • Are Israeli Jews driven out of their homes by armed gangs today? No.

  • Is Israel fighting for its existence today? No.

If the answer to any of these questions was yes, I would be participating in a Jewish Solidarity Congress today.

 

Friends,

Today, we would have loved to have a decent, democratic, mutually-respectful debate on how to bring Peace and Universal Human Rights for everyone, Jews and Palestinians, Bedouins and Christians, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea with people who think differently to us.

Sadly, the whole of the German political system has decided not to allow this. In a joint statement including not just the CDU-CSU or the FDP but also the SPD, the Greens and, remarkably, two leaders of Die Linke, joined forces to ensure that such a civilised debate, in which we may disagree agreeably, never takes place in Germany.

I say to them: You want to silence us. To ban us. To demonise us. To accuse us. You, therefore, leave us with no choice but to meet your accusations with our accusations. You chose this. Not us.

  • You accuse us of anti-Semitic hatred

    • We accuse you of being the antisemite’s best friend by equating the right of Israel to commit war crimes with the right of Israeli Jews to defend themselves.
  • You accuse us of supporting terrorism

    • We accuse you of equating legitimate resistance to an Apartheid State with atrocities against civilians which I have always and will always condemn, whomever commits them – Palestinians, Jewish Settlers, my own family, whomever.
    • We accuse you of not recognising the duty of the people of Gaza to tear down the Wall of the open prison they have been encased in for 80 years – and of equating this act of tearing down the Wall of Shame – which is no more defensible than the Berlin Wall was – with acts of terror.
  • You accuse us of trivialising Hamas’ October 7th terror

    • We accuse you of trivialising the 80 years of Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and the erection of an ironclad Apartheid system across Israel-Palestine.
    • We accuse you of trivialising Netanyahu’s long-term support of Hamas as a means of destroying the 2-State Solution that you claim to favour.
    • We accuse you of trivialising the unprecedented terror unleashed by the Israeli army on the people of Gaza, W. Bank and E. Jerusalem.
  • You accuse the organisers of today’s Congress that we are, and I quote, “not interested in talking about possibilities for peaceful coexistence in the Middle East against the background of the war in Gaza”. Are you serious? Have you lost your mind?

    • We accuse you of supporting a German state that is, after the United States, the largest supplier of the weapons that the Netanyahu government uses to massacre Palestinians as part of a Grand Plan to make a 2-State solution, and peaceful coexistence between Jews and Palestinians, impossible.
    • We accuse you of never answering the pertinent question that every German must answer: How much Palestinian blood must flow before your, justified, guilt over the Holocaust is washed away?

In fairness, in 1933 the depths of the Nazi genocidal plans were not yet visible. The Nazis didn't decided to exterminate all the Jews of Europe until 1940/41.

They were not, but for some reason, this genocidal ideology mirrored the genocidal ideology of the zionists. What's missing in this piece is that while dealing with the Nazis, they were also dealing with the british colonialists and combined the worst of the two to get their ultimate "get out of jail free". They got to take their money with them, steal whatever land they wanted and push away or kill (no difference) anybody living there who didn't like it.

Zionism is what you get when you breed nazism with western imperialism. Which, yes, as they've been showing over and over again, makes zionists worse than nazis.

Not by other western nations. Those are already behind this new-age nazi regime. And the nations that are pushing back against western authoritarianism are described to westerners as literal Hitlers.

The WW3 sides have already been drawn, the 'diplomatic' justifications (as in no diplomacy) are already there and the military justifications, the historical trigger for those things, are being piled on every single day.

They know they want WW3, they saw the signs of people starting to think about maybe rising up at some point in the future, so they want WW3 now, to cash out before it's too late.

And all those people who are just now realizing that they've lost all control over their own governments for generations... are also starting to realize the adjacent issue: this can't be fixed in a week. The train has left the station and is now a couple of continents away.

The whole Gaza and Iran-Israel thing serves as a reminder that there are a lot of hot spots on this planet that could erupt into large-scale warfare at any given time. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, so I'm gonna say a few unpleasant things about this. The war in Ukraine is contributing to the normalization of the kind of warfare that is the absolute worst - industrial mass warfare. The SMO was originally supposed to be a glorified police operation, an exercise in "hybrid warfare", similar to the Crimean operation - more political and social technology than violence, and only a little bit of carefully applied military force. This approach failed, and the Ukrainian state managed to inflict several military defeats on the small professional Russian force by turning on what people call the "meat grinder", which is nothing other than reverting from "5th generation warfare", "hybrid warfare" or whatever else you want to call it, to old-fashioned 20th century style mass warfare. I.e., by grabbing hundreds of thousands of civilians and giving them rifles and putting them in metal boxes and telling them to dig trenches.

In a blissful utopia, wars would be resolved diplomatically, or at least they'd only be fought by small numbers of professionals (or just robots/drones). Modern warfare shouldn't devastate civilians as much as it does, and the trauma of WW2 has generally created a taboo against all-out total war. Where these wars happened anyway, they either weren't between states (but civil wars or insurgencies instead), they were so lopsided in numerical or technological terms that they were over before they really began (e.g. Desert Storm) or they happened in Africa where it's easy not to notice them for the rest of the world. There were a few exceptions, e.g. Iran-Iraq, but they don't really change the general picture.

Levée en masse, originally introduced by the French revolutionaries to be able to fight off the First Coalition, has shown itself to be one of the most disastrous concepts ever introduced to statecraft. Ideologically, culturally, socially, politically and demographically, few revolutionary novelties have ever wrought as much havoc as the idea of grabbing every other guy off the street and handing him a gun, along with the necessary mind programming to do so.

The horrors of WW2 had seemed to serve as a vaccination against this kind of warfare in the civilized world, but Kiev has broken the taboo, and obviously Russia responded in kind. It is very easy to transform the modern state back into a machine that converts normies into slaughter.

Many people, some of them with genuinely good, ethical intentions, are calling on Kiev and the US to ask Russia for peace negotiations. I'm afraid that won't be enough. The genie is out of the bottle and to stop everyone else from giddily jumping back into industrialized mass warfare it's probably necessary to make an example out of the Ukraine, simply to uphold the trauma and stop the planet from plunging into decades of large-scale warfare with millions of deaths and immense damage to the infrastructure of the modern world.

The Ukrainians have broken many taboos already and then acted surprised when their enemy responded in kind - attacking military hospitals, targeting medevac, executing POWs and so on. It's gonna hurt really, really badly when they realize that breaking the taboo on mass warfare and forcing Russia to go from unideological hybrid policing operation to Great Patriotic War was a terrible mistake. But by then it'll be too late

Russia isn't invading or conquering Ukraine. Russia is devouring and absorbing Ukraine. by jerryk in WayOfTheBern

[–]Maniak 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Russia isn't invading or conquering Ukraine. Russia is devouring and absorbing Ukraine.

Not even that. Russia is doing whatever Russia has to do based on NATO's actions.

Nothing would even have happened in the first place if NATO had respected its own agreements and not put nazis in power in Ukraine, who then went on to do to ethnic Russians for the past 10 years what Israel has been doing to Palestinians for the past 80 years.

And then the US forced Russia to launch its SMO by doing precisely what they knew would launch it.

And then the US/NATO blocked the Ukraine-friendly peace treaty that was ready to be signed after barely 2 months, since as you mentioned, this was intended to be a quick "sit the fuck down" bitchslap.

But NATO kept of stringing this along, and kept on furnishing the Ukrainazis with longer and longer range weapons, which means that Russia obviously has to "devour and absorb" more and more of the territory in order to maintain a buffer zone within which NATO missiles can't reach Russian territory.

The initial takeover of the territories occupied by ethnic Russians was done to protect them from the NATO-funded nazis who had been shelling them since 2014. The territories that will be taken on top of this are entirely on NATO, because Russia isn't going to let a NATO-controlled nazi-filled country be within reach of its people. Duh.

Russia isn't the country that went back on every single treaty and spent the past several decades building military bases and staging coups all over the world, specifically surrounding Russia and China.

Russia wants a buffer zone, outside of NATO missile range, to keep its territory safe from NATO aggression. That's not only reasonable but straight-up necessary. If it means that they have to take over the whole thing because of NATO aggression, I wish them all the best.

We, in the West, are the ones on the wrong side of history, yet again.

World-Renowned Physicians Receive Public Apology from Accuser Admitting Allegations of Academic Fraud Were Incorrect by Maniak in WayOfTheBern

[–]Maniak[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Washington, D.C. – The source of a series of false allegations often recited in media stories has publicly acknowledged her error and apologized for questioning the integrity of the FLCCC Alliance and founding members Paul E. Marik, M.D., FCCM, FCCP, chairman and chief science officer, and Pierre Kory, MD, MPA, president and chief medical officer.

In June of 2022, Allison Neitzel, a physician and author of the blog, Misinformation Kills, made a series of false allegations of fraud in reference to peer-reviewed published research of Drs. Marik and Kory. Dr. Neitzel’s unsubstantiated claims also included accusing the FLCCC Alliance of “grifting” when she falsely claimed that the organization is the “same” as other organizations that sold ivermectin and telehealth services to the public. Finally, Dr. Neitzel was a staunch supporter and promoter of false claims by another online influencer, Kyle Sheldrick, a physician and Ph.D. candidate in Australia, who made a series of unsubstantiated allegations of fraud committed by Dr. Marik on social media and to the journal CHEST that he later retracted following an investigation into his claims by the journal. Dr. Sheldrick publicly acknowledged his mistake in a statement issued in May 2023.

Many of Dr. Neitzel’s and Dr. Sheldrick’s false claims were often used by widely read media outlets, positioning them as authoritative sources of such information.

Today, Dr. Neitzel issued a lengthy statement acknowledging her mistakes and apologizing to Drs. Marik and Kory, and the FLCCC Alliance that included the following:

“A number of times in 2022 in the MisinformationKills newsletter and on Twitter, I used terms like “fraud” and “fraudulent” to criticize certain positions of and statements by the FLCCC, Dr. Marik and Dr. Kory, and to criticize certain studies by Dr. Marik or Dr. Kory. My posts have also characterized the use of ivermectin in treatment with words like “grift.” I take this opportunity to clarify that I did not mean my statements to be understood as conveying anything more than intense criticism, and I regret if anyone understood the statements as accusations that any of them had engaged in fraudulent professional or business practices.”

Her statement concludes, “I apologize to the FLCCC, Dr. Marik, and Dr. Kory for the statements that are the subject of this update.”

“As physicians in the public discourse, we all have the responsibility to not make accusations like fraud without first knowing all the facts. To do otherwise is highly irresponsible and unprofessional, especially when the media spread these accusations further,” said Pierre Kory, MD, MPA, president and chief medical officer of the FLCCC Alliance. We accept Dr. Neitzel’s apology. However, it is regrettable that it has taken almost two years for her to acknowledge her mistakes.”

“We are always open to a professional debate on any of our research. That is often how good science comes about,” said Paul E. Marik, M.D., FCCM, FCCP, chairman and chief science officer of the FLCCC Alliance. “I hope that Dr. Neitzel understands that accusations of fraud are not to be recklessly made and can be particularly damaging during a public health crisis when critical information among frontline physicians is being used to save lives.”

He's already doing much better than Bernie ever did.

Even in 2016 when he gave his best performance as a fake "revolutionary" and fake anti-establishment candidate, he kept licking the boots of the establishment, starting with his handling of Clinton.

If there ever was somebody who deserves being publicly despised, it's her.

Imagine if Bernie had been capable of saying "I despise her" and list the obvious reasons why, from her own record, which most of the people listening weren't even aware of...

So points to Galloway for cutting through the bullshit right from the start.

Seeing what they've been doing up to this point, it wouldn't even be surprising.

Add to it things like this and it increasingly sounds to me as if he's laying the groundwork to retroactively admit he's already been doing it before it gets exposed.

Transcript

Full thread, with way too many caps:

RT Holds audio of a CALL on February 19 2024 between high-ranking German military officials INTERCEPTED BY RUSSIA which shows a plan to bomb the Crimean Bridge.

Audio has not been released yet. I’ve saved the translation of the transcript that RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan wrote on VK, here for you to read but I’ll break it down below.

The crux that was said in an almost 40 minute dialogue is here:

“I came to the conclusion that there are two interesting targets, the bridge in the east and the ammunition depots above. The bridge in the east is hard to reach, it's a rather small target, but the Taurus can do it, the ammunition depots can also be hit…If we consider the bridge, I don't think Taurus is enough and we need to have an idea of how it might work, and for that we need satellite data. I don't know if we can train the Ukrainians for such a task in a short time, and we are talking about a month.”

'FRAUSTADT'

BUNDESWEHR SPACE COMMAND STAFFER

“What would a Taurus attack on the bridge look like? From an operational perspective, I can't estimate how quickly the Ukrainians will be able to learn how to plan such an action and how quickly integration will occur. But since we are talking about the bridge and military bases, I understand they want to get them as soon as possible.”

FRAUSTADT BUNDESWEHRSPACE COMMAND STAFFER

ONE OF THE PARTICIPANTS SERVED AS A MILITARY ATTACHÉ IN US:

The head of the operations and exercises department of the Bundeswehr Air Force Command, Graefe who participated in the discussion of the attack on the Crimean Bridge, formerly served as a military attaché in the United States.

Another participant in the conversation, Air Force Inspector Gerhartz, has been in his post since 2018. One of the documents on the Bundeswehr website says that he has about 30 thousand people under his command. He is credited with an active role in the modernization of the German Air Force, and he himself is still an active military pilot.

So far the German Ministry of Defense, when asked by RIA Novosti, refused to comment on reports about the recording of a conversation between the German military about the strike on the Crimean Bridge.

Now all of this comes after Chancellor Olaf Scholz got pounded by his own colleagues, the UK & France for refusing to give Ukraine, long-distance Taurus missiles and urging that Germany will not become “an active participant” in the Ukraine conflict. He also said an accident could happen if Germany did supply these weapons that could reach as far as Moscow.

Yeah, turns out that what happened with C19 and those doctors wasn't new behavior. But it was so widespread and over the top that it made the whole thing way more visible, including outside of C19.

Given how much they lied, and are still lying, about C19 treatment, why should we believe anything they say about cancer treatment, which is an even bigger and much older cash cow?

So according to Jon "The blue team is good on Russia at least" Stewart, the UN can't agree on stopping the genocide-that-must-not-be-called-a-genocide. That's it. Just can't agree, that's the whole thing.

Not "The US is the sole country blocking this and vetoed it 3 times in a row".

What a cunt.

They sent Israeli aid trucks designed to help lure the starving Gazans and opened fire on them with machine guns and tanks. All this by filming it from a drone and making fun of it.

This evil is similar to that when Hitler sent them to concentration camps by lying them that they were going to work in Nazi factories.

Disgusting.

Finished watching, very interesting indeed and it is going in the same direction as the FLCCC link above, in treating cancer as a metabolic disease instead of genetic, with the FLCCC directly mentioning the works of Dr Seyfried (interviewed here by Jimmy) and Otto Warburg whose work Seyfried based his on.

So it's all one big family.

Main difference being that Seyfried is on the research side (decades of research going back to the first half of the 20th century with Warburg) and tons of published papers detailing and demonstrating everything, currently working on a treatment protocol so that clinics may try it out accurately.

But he's blocked, in much the same way as happened with treating SARS², by the current medical establishment and the pharma corporations who don't care about patients getting better but only on being able to pump out a new drug that would make them billions of dollars. They're already making billions with the current cancer treatments that have done nothing to stop the spread of cancer throughout the world. Basically it'd have to be either a new drug expensive enough to be even more profitable, or something tailored to help a bit but keep the patients sick enough so they have to keep buying it.

So in that regard, the FLCCC approach is probably the only one that can be applied practically without having to wait years/decades for the standards of care to evolve, if they ever do given the obstacles. FLCCC approach being, much as with SARS², to use already known repurposed drugs, in combination with vitamins, diets and so on, to do what the research shows has to be done: starving the cancer cells out and helping your own immune system deal with them, rather than getting irradiated and filled with toxic drugs that do kill those cells but also everything else.

And for the curious, the doctors at the FLCCC have also been tackling cancer treatment outside of the 'established narrative'.

Still watching this interview but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some overlap/common ideas.

Much like the US "leadership", he's a bully and a coward. But he doesn't have military bases everywhere for his threats to have any weight outside of France.

Same with Canada, Australia, ... the whole pack of US empire lapdogs.

One of the main reasons the self-immolation of Aaron Bushnell is having such an earthshaking impact on our society is because it’s the single most profound act of sincerity that any of us have ever witnessed.

In this fraudulent civilization where everything is fake and stupid, we are not accustomed to such sincerity. We’re accustomed to vapid mainstream culture manufactured in New York and Los Angeles, airheaded celebrities who never talk about anything real, self-aggrandizing Instagram activism, synthetic political factions designed to herd populist discontent into support for status quo politics, phony shitlib “I hear you, I stand with you [but I won’t actually do anything]” posturing, endless propaganda and diversion from the mass media and its online equivalents which are algorithmically boosted by Silicon Valley tech plutocrats, and a mind-controlled dystopia where almost everyone is sleepwalking through life in a psyop-induced fog.

It's well-known that supporting genocide and shitting all over the victims is the sane and morally superior position, while going to the extreme to protest said genocide when being part of the military that's enabling and supporting it is retarded.

Questions asked:

‘Is there any question that in at least in the near future that Ukraine absolutely positively will not be a part of NATO?’

‘Has the US ever acknowledged to itself among its own leading officials which you were one; that the two state solution is dead on arrival?’

‘For how long has the IDF or the Israeli security forces the ones now run by this madman Itamar Ben-Gvir; been slaughtering innocents prior to October 7 in the Westbank and in Gaza?’

‘Riyad al-Maliki Palestinian Foreign Minister; One of the oral arguments in the international criminal court on behalf of the Palestinian people. It is very articulate, and it shows a series of maps starting at 1948 and going up to 2023.’

‘I’m going to ask you at the end of this presentation, if the maps are accurate or if they’re disputable? Can this be historical challenged?’

‘Secretary Blinken; certified twice under oath in order to bypass Congress not because Congress wouldn’t do it but because Congress was adjourned at the time. Sending in two tranches $100000,000 and again $100 million in assets to Israel. Was a matter of an American national security, an emergency American national security.’

‘Is there any legitimate moral legal or political bases to support that statement that Tony Blinken signed?’

‘Colonel Wilkerson does Israel have atomic weapons?’

Creator of Israel, Lord Jacob Rothschild dies, age 87

Lord Jacob's passing reminds us of the key role the Rothschilds played in Israel's creation and growth.

Jacob's Great-Uncle Walter was directly addressed in the historic Balfour Declaration that supported a Jewish state.

Walter Rothschild's friendship with Israel's first President, Chaim Weizmann, highlights the family's significant influence in early Zionist efforts.

Two words come to mind. Good and Riddance.

Aaron Bushnell Burned Himself Alive To Make You Turn Your Eyes To Gaza by hfxB0oyA in WayOfTheBern

[–]Maniak 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I watched the uncensored video of US airman Aaron Bushnell self-immolating in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington while screaming “Free Palestine”. I hesitated to watch it because I knew once I put it into my mind it’s there for the rest of my life, but I figured I owe him that much.

[...]

The sounds stay with you more than the sights. The sound of his gentle, youthful, Michael Cera-like voice as he walked toward the embassy. The sound of the round metal container he stored the accelerant in getting louder as it rolls toward the camera. The sound of Bushnell saying “Free Palestine”, then screaming it, then switching to wordless screams when the pain became too overwhelming, then forcing out one more “Free Palestine” before losing his words for good. The sound of the cop screaming at him to get on the ground over and over again. The sound of a first responder telling police to stop pointing guns at Bushnell’s burning body and go get fire extinguishers.

[...]

I know this is true because everywhere I see Aaron Bushnell being discussed online I see a massive deluge of pro-Israel trolls frantically swarming the comments in a mad rush to manipulate the narrative. They all understand how destructive it is to US and Israeli information interests for people to be seeing an international news story about a member of the US Air Force self-immolating on camera while screaming “Free Palestine”, and they are doing everything they can to mitigate that damage.

As I write this, there are with absolute certainty people digging through Bushnell’s history searching for dirt that can be spun as evidence that he was a bad person, that he was mentally ill, that he was steered astray by pro-Palestine activists and dissident media — whatever they can make stick. If they find something, literally anything, the smearmeisters and propagandists will run with it as far as they can.

That’s what they’re choosing to do at this point in history. That’s what they would have done during slavery, or the Jim Crow south, or apartheid. That’s what they’re doing while their country commits genocide right now. People are showing what they would have done with their response to Gaza, and they’re showing what they would have done with their response to the self-immolation of Aaron Bushnell.
