“Finally, we need to take a hard look at why the [[corporate media]] (MSM) have paid more attention to [[Sarah Palin]]’s wardrobe than they have to dissecting blatant falsehoods, discrepancies and inconsistencies in the US Government’s treatment of 9/11 and its aftermath.” +

“There were continuing moments of alarm. A panel truck with a painting of a plane flying into the World Trade Center was stopped near the temporary command post. It proved to be rented to a group of ethnic Middle Eastern people who did not speak English. Fearing that it might be a truck bomb, the NYPD immediately evacuated the area, called out the bomb squad, and detained the occupants until a thorough search was made. The vehicle was found to be an innocent delivery truck.”<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a>” +

“American security services overnight stopped a [[car bomb]] on the George Washington Bridge. The van, packed with [[explosive]]s, was stopped on an approach ramp to the bridge. Authorities suspect the terrorists intended to blow up the main crossing between New Jersey and New York, Army Radio reported.” +

“If these Americans and those like them ever fully understand just how much of their suffering — and the suffering we have inflicted on others — is properly laid on the doorsteps of Israel and its advocates in America, they will sweep aside those in politics, the press and the pulpits alike whose lies and disloyalty brought this about and concealed it from them. They may well leave Israel looking like Carthage after the Romans finished with it. It will be Israel’s own great fault.” +

“We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq," Ma'ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events "swung American public opinion in our favor."” +

"Biological weapon/Terrorism" +

“All democratic circles in America and of Europe, especially those of the Italian centre-left, now know that the disastrous attack was planned and realized by the American CIA and Mossad with the help of the Zionist world, to place the blame on Arab countries and to persuade the Western powers to intervene in Iraq and Afghanistan.” +

"Alt-right" +

“It should be clear that it is with the "Alt Right" where the term "conservative CIA" really comes into its own. As readers will quickly find out by analyzing all the entries here, there's really no point in calling the "Alt Right" the "Alt Right". It should either be called Old Right, or, more accurately, "conservative CIA". Similar to the "liberal CIA" social Democrats and the antifa, it's a completely artificial creation, meant to pervert huge anti-immigration sentiment among the population and prevent any kind of decent, honest research into conspiracies as JFK and 9/11. If you are against further Third World immigration - which easily 70-80% of whites are and 60% of minorities - or open to conspiracy, you are literally forced to take refuge in this pre-created political box and get behind one of the gurus here. Otherwise you and your opinions essentially don't exist.” +

"Anti-corruption" +

“In [[Slovakia]] in the [[1990s]] I used UK companies wanting to do business to engage with local businesses. We set up the [[Klub 500]] of companies with more than 500 employees. We got UK [[MP]]s via the [[NATO]] Parliamentary Assembly to teach them how business relates to, and can fund and [[lobby]], [[political parties]] legitimately in a democracy, instead of their then model of cash in brown envelopes.” +

"Anti-vaxxer" +

“It is wrong to call a person who declines a shot an "[[anti-vaxxer]]". Virtually no [[physicians]] are "anti-antibiotics" or "anti-surgery", whereas all are opposed to treatments that they think are unnecessary, more likely to harm than to benefit an individual patient, or inadequately tested.” +

"Antisemitism" +

“Well, it’s a trick, we always use it. When from Europe somebody is criticizing Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust. When in this country people are criticizing Israel, then they are anti-Semitic. And the organization is strong, and has a lot of money, and the ties between Israel and the American Jewish establishment are very strong and they are strong in this country, as you know.” +

"Antisemitism" +

“The more Jewish bodies campaign against anti-Semitism the more opposition to Jewish politics is detected.” +

“This is not about retribution,... This matter is going forward — we are in a '''live exercise''' here to get this right.” To which president [[Trump]] retorted “'''you should have told us'''” +

"Bucha massacre" +

“It begs the question why would the Russian army commit this atrocity on civilians wearing neutral white armbands after delivering large quantities of humanitarian aid?” +

“These products were designed to injure, maim and kill.” +

“We need to be careful, as it's obvious [[Big Pharma|pharmaceutical companies]] wish to make a profit and would like to keep always selling [[vaccines]] for everyone. But we need to prioritise; we need to know if they're needed or not. (We need to) not be subordinated to [[Big Pharma]] dictating us: "we need a third dose", "we need a fourth", "we need to vaccinate children".” +

“A vaccine is at least a year away, and success is uncertain. Treatments that hold promise need to be evaluated rigorously.” +

“For us therefore, we're really taking that leap [to drive innovation] – us as a company, Bayer – in cell and gene therapies [...] ultimately the mRNA vaccines are an example for that cell and gene therapy. I always like to say: if we had surveyed two years ago in the public – ‘would you be willing to take a gene or cell therapy and inject it into your body?’ – we would have probably had a 95% refusal rate,” +

“No team I was ever part of would have picked the spike protein... I believe they did it on purpose. It was [[conspiracy|collusion]] and malfeasance.” +

"Climate change" +

“I argue that by far the most destructive force on the planet is power-driven financiers and profit-driven corporations and their cartels backed by military might; and that the global warming myth is a red herring that contributes to hiding this truth. In my opinion, activists who, using any justification, feed the global warming myth have effectively been co-opted, or at best neutralized.” +

"Climate change" +

“we came up with the idea that ... global warming ... and the like, would fit the bill.” +

"Conspiracy mindset" +

““Conspiracy belief”, “conspiracy thinking”, “conspiracy mindset”, “conspiracy predispositions”, “conspiracist ideation”, “conspiracy ideology”, “conspiracy mentality” and “conspiracy worldview” — most of these apparently serving no distinct purpose other than an attempt at elegant variation — are all terms based upon the [[psychologists]]' own delusional beliefs. For some reason, all those researching the psychology of those they have labelled conspiracy theorist imagine, without reason, that the so-named “[[conspiracists]]” don’t have any evidence to back up their arguments.” +

"Conspiracy mindset" +

“Conspiracy theories offer simple answers to complex problems by providing explanations for uncertain situations. Thus, they should be attractive to individuals who are intolerant of uncertainty and seek cognitive closure.” +

"Conspiracy mindset" +

“a small part in motivating the endorsement of such seemingly irrational beliefs is the desire to stick out from the crowd, the need for uniqueness” +

“'''German Business News''': You dedicate a whole chapter to the Bilderbergers. What influence do the [[Bilderbergers]] really exert? '''Jürgen Roth''': Compared to the "[[round tables]]" I described, their influence is rather small. What stands out among the Bilderbergers is not so much the secrecy or the strict isolation in luxury enclaves, but who the initiators are. They are US banks and US corporations, as well as the [[Deutsche Bank]]. At its core, it is a kind of [[neoliberal]] [[think tank]], whose members sometimes have a rather obscure biography. And they try, with more or less great success, to win over politicians who are well-disposed towards them and their goals. These in turn feel flattered when they are invited. And it is particularly revealing that only representatives of [[neo-liberalism]] are invited. Critics of capitalism will not be found there. '''German Business News''': Where is the line between real power and conspiracy theory? You criticize the network of the "Round Tables". What is behind it? '''Jürgen Roth''': There is no [[conspiracy theory]], only the conspiracy of a small, exclusive, European, economic and political elite against the social and democratic state. Their goal is clearly an ideological revolution, the widespread implementation of a free, untamed market economy. [[Ulisses Garrido]], the former Portuguese trade union leader and current director of the Education Department of the European Trade Union Confederation, is far from any conspiracy theory. He explained it to me like this: "What is to be achieved is a complete change in society, without the population having any say in the matter. It is undoubtedly a silent coup." [...] '''Jürgen Roth''': The purpose of this silent coup is also the [[privatization]] of all state enterprises, or state or municipal real estate. The Deutsche Bank demands this particularly strongly. Companies are sold off at a ridiculous price, often to the favoured of the ruling political system. Vital areas such as education, health and social services are privatized, as in Portugal or Greece. What is practiced here is the expropriation of national property. I don't even want to know how much criminally gained capital has been invested in Greece, Spain or Portugal.”

“[...] I never say conspiracy theorist, but I'm incredulous and I check stuff out, and I think if people didn't have that phrase to fall back on, they could be incredulous and check stuff out [...]” +

“Here's the thing. There's about 150 people that run the world. Anybody who wants to go into politics, they're all fucking puppets, okay? There are 150 and they're all men that run the world - period, full stop. They control most of the important assets, they control the money flows. And these are not the tech entrepreneurs. Now they are going to get rolled over the next five to ten years by the people that are really underneath pulling the strings. And when you get behind the curtain and see how that world works, what you realize is, it is unfairly set up for them and their progeny. Now, I'm not going to say that that's something that we can rip apart. But first order of business is, I want to break through and be at that table. That's the first order of business.” +

“individuals who commit elite deviance face limited effective deterrents, due to lenient penalties for such actions. The narrow presentation of elite criminality in the news enables the continued perpetration of elite deviance, allowing for the power elite to maintain a hold on the presentation of deviance in society. While the accountability structures seem to be shifting, the ingrained systems of power remain, thus enabling elite deviance to continue, regardless of the potential consequences. Looking to the future, however, a change in public perception of elite deviance appears to be occurring. With unprecedented frequency, high-power individuals are facing public allegations of crimes, as well as, incarceration, rather than benefiting from the traditional veil of secrecy and protection that previously surrounded their actions.” +

"Conspiracy theory" +

“There is in Italy a power which we seldom mention in this House ... I mean the [[secret societies]]... It is useless to deny, because it is impossible to conceal, that a great part of [[Europe]] — the whole of [[Italy]] and [[France]] and a great portion of [[Germany]], to say nothing of other countries — is covered with a network of these [[secret societies]], just as the superficies of the earth is now being covered with railroads. And what are their objects? They do not attempt to conceal them. They do not want constitutional government; they do not want ameliorated institutions ... they want to change the tenure of land, to drive out the present owners of the soil and to put an end to ecclesiastical establishments. Some of them may go further...” +

“Work in online misinformation details how alternative media intentionally fabricate conspiracy theories, spreading false allegations ranging from reptilian presidents to staged terrorist attacks” +

“[Conspiracy beliefs] are — almost by definition — not shared by the majority of people.” +

“history has repeatedly shown that corporate and political elites do conspire against public interests. Conspiracy theories play an important role in bringing their misdeeds into the light.” +

“they are emotional given that negative emotions and not rational deliberations cause conspiracy beliefs... One limitation... is that the field is lacking a solid theoretical framework that contextualizes previous findings, that enables novel predictions, and that suggests '''interventions to reduce the prevalence of conspiracy theories in society'''.” +

"Continuity of Government" +

“a small part in motivating the endorsement of such seemingly irrational beliefs is the desire to stick out from the crowd, the need for uniqueness.” +

“It's important that the UN and WHO remain very clear, but when they challenge governments directly, they often get into this issue of sovereignty. (...) I think it's really critical to think about [[soft power]] influence, which is other influentials, who can call up the head of state, or powerful constituencies within those countries. We've seen this in the context of mobilizing religious leaders in the context of [[polio]], or specific business leaders where you can soften perhaps a very hard line from government through less more '''stealthy entry points''', rather than trying to punish them (...)” +

"Counter-terrorism" +

“The current threat from [[Islamist terrorism]] is serious and sustained. It is genuinely international in scope, involving a variety of groups, networks and individuals who are driven by particular violent and extremist beliefs. It is indiscriminate – aiming to cause mass casualties, regardless of the age, nationality, or religion of their victims; and the terrorists are often prepared to commit suicide to kill others. Overall, we judge that the scale of the threat is potentially still increasing and is not likely to diminish significantly for some years. ” +

"Countering disinformation" +

“the counter-disinformation space as a whole [in Georgia] is slightly less evolved than in other regions, still being largely though not exclusively focused on fact-checking, which might be termed counter-disinformation 1.0.” +

"Countering disinformation" +

“Another barrier to combating disinformation is the fact that certain Kremlin-backed narratives are factually true. For example, the [[Serbia]]n organisation [[European Western Balkans]] noted that one of the country's most prominent pro-Kremlin narratives relates to Russia's ongoing support for Belgrade in the Kosovo dispute which is true. Responding to inconvenient truths, as opposed to pure [[propaganda]], is naturally more problematic.” +

"Cyberterrorism" +

“A massive and well-coordinated cyber attack on the electric grid could devastate the economy and cause a large-scale loss of life.” +

"Cyberterrorism" +

“The United States and Britain on Monday issued a first-of-its-kind joint warning about Russian cyberattacks against government and private organizations as well as individual homes and offices in both countries, a milestone in the escalating use of cyberweaponry between major powers.” +

"Disaster" +

“The process of transformation is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event” +

"Disinformation" +

“The weirdest thing about the Biden administration tasking itself with the censorship of "[[disinformation]]" on social media is that the United States is the hub of a globe-spanning empire that is built upon a foundation of disinformation, maintained by disinformation, and facilitated by disinformation.” +

"Disinformation" +

“On 28 September 2023, the [[US Department of State]] released a landmark report on how the [[People’s Republic of China]] seeks to reshape the global information environment to its advantage by investing billions of dollars to construct a global information ecosystem that promotes its propaganda and facilitates [[censorship]] and the spread of "[[disinformation]]".<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> :[[China]] responded: "The [[US Department of State]] report is in itself disinformation as it misrepresents facts and truth. In fact, it is the [[US]] that invented the weaponizing of the global information space. The relevant center of the [[US State Department]] which concocted the report is engaged in propaganda and infiltration in the name of “global engagement”. It is a source of disinformation and the command center of “perception warfare”. :"From [[Operation Mockingbird]] which bribed and manipulated news media for propaganda purposes in the [[Cold War]] era, to a vial of white powder and a staged video of the '[[White Helmets]]' cited as evidence to wage wars of aggression in [[Iraq]] and [[Syria]] earlier this century, and then to the enormous lie made up to smear [[China]]’s Xinjiang policy, facts have proven time and again that the [[US]] is an 'empire of lies' through and through. :"Even some in the [[US]], such as Senator [[Rand Paul]], acknowledged that the [[US government]] is the greatest propagator of "[[disinformation]]" in the history of the world."<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a>”

"Extremism" +

“Should these extremist views be allow [sic.] in society with the risk they could incite some to violence?” +

"Extremism" +

“the distinction between “non-violent extremism” and “violent extremism” is not a valid one.” +

"Extremism" +

“Despite widespread evidence to the contrary, including a [[PREVENT]] training presentation from the police describing anti-[[fracking]] protesters as extremists, the police argued in court that anti-fracking protesters were not viewed in this way.” +

"Fake News" +

“In the article, the ''[Washington] Post'' blurred the lines between “fake news” – stories that are simply made up – and what was deemed “propaganda,” in effect, information that didn’t jibe with what the U.S. State Department was saying.” +

"Fake News" +

“CNN is the ultimate "[[fake news]]" network. There isn't a day that goes by where CNN doesn't deliberately fake a news story, distort a significant event for political purposes, or censor an important piece of news they don't want their viewers to discover.” +

"Fake news website" +

“long before “fake news” became a major media topic, the US government was already planning its legally-backed crackdown on anything it would eventually label “fake news".” +

"Fake news website" +

“The mainstream [[corporate media]] is desperate. They want to suppress independent and alternative online media, which it categorizes as “fake news”. Readers on social media are warned not to go onto certain sites. The intent of this initiative is to smear honest reporting and Truth in Media. Our analysis confirms that the corporate media are routinely involved in distorting the facts and turning realities upside down. They are the unspoken architects of “Fake News”.” +

"Financial services" +

“Using the simple privileges of [[banks]], the "financial services industry" has become a gigantic predatory [[parasite]] draining the human and natural worlds of life.” +

"Flatten the curve" +

“[...] to betray secrets again .. we said we have to find a model, to generate compliance, which is a little bit "science-like", and that was this formula "flatten the curve". We talked, how is it possible to convince the people to go along? We told them -this [the model] looks like science right?- if you are disciplined, you can change the curve. There is a visualization of individual changes to one's behavior in a way that it connects to science.” +

"Free market" +

“I don't think a free market has existed in the [[United States]] since I was born in [[1935]]. The market is rigged by enormous subsidies that go to favoured businesses. It's rigged in a half dozen other ways but that way alone would tip the scales. We have so many businesses that actually are bankrupt. They can't compete but they seem to be able to compete because your tax money and mine get poured into them in quiet, unnoticable ways.” +

"Gulf of Tonkin Incident" +

“OK. Here’s what we did. We [were] within their 12-mile limit, and that’s a matter that hasn’t been settled. But there have been some covert operations in that area that we have been carrying on – blowing up some bridges and things of that kind, roads, and so forth. So I imagine they wanted to put a stop to it. So they come out there and fire and we respond immediately with five-inch guns from the destroyer and with planes overhead. And we cripple them up – knock one of them out and cripple the other two. And then we go right back where we were with that destroyer [the Maddox], and with another one [the Turner Joy], plus plenty of planes standing by. And that’s where we are now.” +

"Hate group" +

“I attempted to criticize the “hate group” concept on Wikipedia, by adding a section doing just that to its “hate group” article. The top editors over there would have none of it. Wikipedia’s editors are so left-wing, they think the SPLC is a neutral, apolitical organization, if you can believe it. Wikipedia, a supposedly unbiased and independent online encyclopedia and information source, has unfortunately become a mouthpiece for the Cultural Marxist US power class.” +

"Hate speech" +

“The further a [[society]] drifts from [[truth]] the more it will hate those who speak it.” +

"Hate speech" +

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” +

"Humanitarian intervention" +

“Suddenly, children in Syria matter a lot to the West, while [[Yemen]]'s child victims are rarely ever mentioned. Suddenly there’s an urgent moral issue being rushed through the court of public opinion. This has all the hallmarks of the prior propaganda campaigns we’ve seen before. Scant evidence, immediate assignment of blame, and a quick rush to military action before anybody can really properly question the train of events.” +

"Humanitarian intervention" +

“Humanitarian justification of intervention does not benignly shape hegemonic [[foreign policy]] or reduce inter-state bellicosity; rather, it inflames both.” +

"Iran-Contra" +

“One of the most complicated and intrigue-filled scandals in recent decades, the Iran-contra affair dominated the news for many months. It consisted of three interconnected parts: The Reagan administration sold arms to Iran, a country desperate for materiel during its lengthy war with Iraq; in exchange for the arms, Iran was to use its influence to help gain the release of Americans held hostage in Lebanon; and the arms were purchased at high prices, with the excess profits diverted to fund the Reagan-favored "contras" fighting the Sandinista government in Nicaragua.” +

"Iraq/WMD" +

“Every [[war]] when it comes, or before it comes, is [[war/Propaganda|represented]] not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac.” +

"Islamophobia" +

“"[[terrorism]]" in the post-[[9/11]] American vernacular has become shorthand for "[[Islamic terrorism]]."” +

"Let's Go Brandon!" +

“the phrase and meme are fast becoming the most censored words of 2021, yet still entire stadiums of fans at sports games now regularly in unison shout ''Let's go Brandon'' ...even at high school or college games.” +

"Lone nut" +

“Nor, for example, is there any reason to interpret the 'lone assassin' verdict, which emerged immediately after [[JFK/Assassination|the assassination]] as itself an indicator of the conspiracy at work. On the perspective I am suggesting, almost before Kennedy's heart stopped beating the one thing which everyone involved would have agreed upon, without discussion, never mind coercion, was that a 'lone nut' verdict had to emerge. The 'truth' was not an issue: in politics the 'truth' is simply a tool.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> The point about the 'lone nut' is that it was then, and remains (cf Hinckley) the only safe explanation for political assassination within America. 'Disney America'<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a>, the fantasy pluralist democracy described in the textbooks on the American political system, cannot accommodate planned political assassination.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a>” +

"National security" +

“We need to insist, as we insisted at [[Nuremberg]], that no raison d'état is off-limits to public scrutiny, public criticism and public wrath.” +

"National security" +

“What possible justification can there be, 43 years on, for information about it [the trial of the [[Shrewsbury 24]]], to be withheld on national security grounds? The failure to disclose has less to do with national security and much more to do with the potential for political embarrassment.” +

"National security" +

“Human nature being what it is, the [[MICC]] comprises avaricious individuals who seek to gain private benefit at public cost. But the idea that all the players knowingly conspire to mastermind so intricate a system is difficult to prove, and unnecessary. Instead corruption among defence contractors, Representatives in [[US/Congress|Congress]] and the military brass is standard operating procedure camouflaged by an incestuous labyrinthine system and the primacy of '[[national security]]'. Not only do the corrupt actors need to be held to account but, as importantly, the system needs to be untangled.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> To further understand this entanglement. I met [[Chuck Spinney]], a life-long [[Pentagon]] insider who experienced this labyrinth on a daily basis for over two decades. He produced a vast body of work explaining how the Pentagon really operates. His efforts culminated in the wrath of all the participants in the MICC but saw him featured on the cover of ''[[Time magazine|Time]]'' magazine.” +

"Non-violent extremism" +

“non-violent extremism goes unchallenged, the values that bind our society together fragment.” +

"Non-violent extremism" +

“It can even be argued that ‘[[non-violent extremism]]’ is a contradiction in terms. While there can be non-violent and violent radicals, it makes, in my view and based on the distinction between radicalism and [[extremism]] elaborated above, less sense to distinguish between violent and non-violent extremists.” +

"Overpopulation" +

“''Overpopulation'' and the overreliance on irrigation was a major factor in making the Maya vulnerable to failure: the trigger event of their collapse appears to have been a long ''drought'' beginning about 840 A.D. (communication of V. Scarborough, an archaelogist (sic!) from the University of Cincinnati [90]). Among many factors, such as war and ''plagues'', that contributed to many of the collapses of ancient societies, there seem to be two main causes: ''too many people and too little fresh water''. As a consequence, the civilization became vulnerable to environmental stress, for instance, a prolonged drought or a ''change in climate'' [90]. The societies themselves appear to have contributed to their own demise by encouraging ''growth of their population'' to levels that carried the seeds of their own decline through overexploitation of the land (communication of C. Scarre, an archaelogist (sic!) from the Cambridge University in England [90]). Similarly, the Akkadian empire in Mesopotamia, the Old Kingdom of Egypt, the Indus Valley civilization in India, and early societies in Palestine, Greece, and Crete all collapsed in a [[Disaster|catastrophic]] drought and ''cooling of the atmosphere'' between 2300 and 2200 B.C.” +

"Post-truth" +

“[[Reality]] is under assault. Verbal [[confusion]] reigns. [[Truth]] and [[illusion]] have merged. Mental chaos makes it hard to fathom what is happening. We feel trapped in a hall of mirrors. Exposed lies are answered with other lies. The rational is countered with the irrational. Cognitive dissonance prevails. We endure a disquieting shame and even guilt. Tens of millions of Americans, especially [[women]], undocumented workers, [[Muslims]] and African-Americans, suffer the acute anxiety of being pursued by a predator. All this is by design. Demagogues always infect the governed with their own [[psychosis]].” +

"Post-truth" +

“making use of fictional work for reinforcing messages about Russian hybrid warfare” +

"Racism" +

“Chinese authorities, bolstered by technology, arbitrarily and indefinitely detaining Turkic [[Muslims]] in Xinjiang en masse for actions and behavior that are not crimes under Chinese law. And yet Chinese authorities continue to make wildly inaccurate claims that their “sophisticated” systems are keeping Xinjiang safe by “targeting” [[terrorists]] “with precision.”” +

"Radicalisation" +

“These days kids know well that if you want to get famous and discussed by [[corporate media|media]] for three weeks straight, then go shoot somebody and they will probably talk about you. That's the kind of stuff they train kids to think, without saying that. That's a horrible thing to say,but it's the truth. If you are a deranged kid out there, you're suicidal and want to be remembered, they are ''telling'' you, here's what to do. That's what radicalization looks like in the real world, not the fairytale they are building. [[Corporate media]], the two-party paradigm, radicalize people every day. Having information in front of you, even crazy stuff, that is not what's doing that.” +

"Russian Propaganda" +

“What's funny about all this is that by constantly warning of the dangers of Russian propaganda, imperial [[spinmeisters]] are admitting that they know it's possible to [[manipulate public thought]] at mass scale using [[CCM|media]]. They're just lying about who's doing it to us. In reality, they're not worried about Russian propaganda. "[[Russian propaganda]]" is just a [[spooky]] [[controlling the narrative|story we are told]] to keep us from noticing that our civilization is saturated in [[US propaganda]].” +

"Safe and Effective" +

“Drug companies never talk about the benefits and harms of their [[drugs]] but about their efficacy and safety. Words create what they describe and the preferred semantic is seductive. It makes you think it can only be good for you to take drugs, as they are both efficacious and safe. Another reason why patients and [[doctors]] generally trust their drugs as being both efficacious and safe is that they think they have been carefully tested by the [[drug industry]] and carefully scrutinised by the [[drug regulatory agencies]] using high standards before they are allowed on the market. It is the other way round.” +

““city will be divided into six '''districts''', and motorists will get '''fined if they leave their neighbourhood too often'''” “150,000 residents will be allowed to use their cars as much as they like within their district and will be given free permits allowing them to drive to other districts on 100 days a year. '''If they exceed this limit, they will be fined''', possibly £70 a journey or a day.” “A maximum of three permits a household will be allowed if there are several adults with cars registered to the address.” “At the heart of the plan is a desire to reduce traffic and make city living more pleasant, creating a '''“15-minute city”''' within a small walking radius, a concept popularised during the pandemic” - Nicholas Hellen Transport Editor of The Times in the article partly hidden behind the paywall” +

“A '''smart city''' program aims to create “an effective urban management system, creating safe and comfortable living conditions for citizens.” Sobyanin’s “Smart City – 2030” project for Moscow provides an extreme example of what this initiative hopes to accomplish. The ambitious reimagining of the Russian capital is already being carried out by the city’s Department of Information Technologies. Among other perks, Moscow residents will be issued “genetic passports” that can be used to administer gene therapies. “Wearable and implanted medical digital devices” will collect information about an individual’s lifestyle and calculate payments to health insurance companies. By the end of the decade, [[Russia]]'s capital will harness “digital technologies” to ensure “sustainable growth in the quality of life of Muscovites,” according to the project’s official website.” +

“"'''Public Buses Across Country Quietly Adding Microphones to Record Passenger Conversations''' ''Transit authorities in cities across the country are quietly installing microphone-enabled surveillance systems on public buses that would give them the ability to record and store private conversations. The systems are raising a number of privacy and security concerns.'' The systems use cables or WiFi to pair audio conversations with camera images in order to produce synchronous recordings. Audio and video can be monitored in real-time, but are also stored onboard in blackbox-like devices, generally for 30 days, for later retrieval. Four to six cameras with mics are generally installed throughout a bus, including one near the driver and one on the exterior of the bus. Cities that have installed the systems or have taken steps to procure them include San Francisco, California; Eugene, Oregon; Traverse City, Michigan; Columbus, Ohio; Baltimore Maryland; Hartford, Connecticut; and Athens, Georgia. San Francisco transit authorities recently approved a $5.9 million contract to install an audio surveillance system on 357 buses and vintage trolley cars, paid for in full with a grant from DHS. The contract includes the option to expand the equipment to an additional 600 vehicles. Concord, New Hampshire also used part of a $1.2 million economic stimulus grant to install its new video/audio surveillance system on buses, according to the Daily. Transit officials say the systems will help improve the safety of passengers and drivers and resolve complaints from riders. But privacy and security expert Ashkan Soltani told the Daily that the audio could easily be coupled with facial recognition systems or audio recognition technology to identify passengers caught on the recordings."” +

“The [[Strike Hard Campaign]] has shown complete disregard for the rights of Turkic [[Muslims]] to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. In [[Xinjiang]], authorities have created a system that considers individuals suspicious based on broad and dubious criteria, and then generates lists of people to be evaluated by officials for detention. Official documents state that individuals “who ought to be taken, should be taken,” suggesting the goal is to maximize the number of people they find “untrustworthy” in detention. Such people are then subjected to police interrogation without basic procedural protections. They have no right to legal counsel, and some are subjected to [[torture]] and mistreatment, for which they have no effective redress, as we have documented in our September 2018 report. The result is Chinese authorities, bolstered by technology, arbitrarily and indefinitely detaining Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang en masse for actions and behavior that are not crimes under Chinese law.” +

"Strike Hard Campaign" +

“Credible estimates indicate that under this heightened repression, up to one million people are being held in “political education” camps. The government’s “Strike Hard Campaign against Violent Terrorism” ([[Strike Hard Campaign]], 严厉打击暴力恐怖活动专项行动) has turned [[Xinjiang]] into one of China’s major centers for using innovative technologies for [[social control]].” +

"Terrorism" +

“Terrorism is not really an '[[-ism]]'. There's no connection between the [[Sandinistas]] who fought the [[Contras]] and [[Al Qaida]] or [[Colombia]]'s [[FARC]] and fisherman turned [[pirates]] in [[Africa]] and [[Asia]], yet they are all called "[[terrorists]]". That's just a convenient way for [[US/Deep state|your government]] to [[convince the world]] that there is another [[enemy]] '-ism' out there, like [[communism]] used to be. It diverts attention from the very real problems. Our narrow-minded attitudes and the resultant policies foment [[violence]], [[rebellion]] and [[war]]s. In the long run, almost noone benefits from attacking the people we [[label]] as "terrorists", with one, glaring exception:- the [[corporatocracy]]. Those who own and run the [[companies]] that build the ships, [[missiles]] and armoured vehicles, [[make guns]], uniforms and bulletproof vests, distribute [[food]], [[soft drinks]] and [[ammunition]], provide [[insurance]], [[medicines]] and toilet paper, constructions [[port]]s, [[airstrip]]s and [[housing]] and reconstruct devastated [[villages]], [[schools]], [[factories]] and [[hospitals]]. They, and only they, are the [[big winners]]. The rest of us are [[hoodwinked]] by that one, loaded word "[[terrorist]]". The current economic collapse has awakened us to the importance of regulating and reining in the people who control the businesses that benefit from the [[misuse of words]] like "terrorism" and who perpetrate other [[scams]]. We recognize today that white collar executives are not a special, incorruptible breed.” +

"Terrorism/Response" +

“It is critical to understand that the threat from groups historically seen as direct sponsors of terrorism such as ISIS/Daesh and the coordinated state efforts from Russia in recent years are linked.” +

"US/National security" +

“At long last, the government has conceded that plaintiff poses no threat to air safety or national security and should never have been placed on the no-fly list. She got there by human error within the [[FBI]]. This too is conceded. This was no minor human error but an error with palpable impact, leading to the humiliation, cuffing, and incarceration of an innocent and incapacitated air traveler. That it was human error may seem hard to accept — the FBI agent filled out the nomination form in a way exactly opposite from the instructions on the form, a bureaucratic analogy to a surgeon amputating the wrong digit — human error, yes, but of considerable consequence.” +

“the ambition is huge; both in terms of scale – as it applies to all EU member states – and also in the power it would grant to citizens throughout the Bloc. For the first time, citizens would be able to use a [[European Digital Identity wallet]], from their phone, that would give them access to services in any region across [[Europe]]....It gets really exciting when you realise that the wallet can host both digitalised identity and payment credentials. This could allow people, for example, to pay a deposit on a new apartment or settle an outstanding speeding fine directly from their smartphone.” +

“all EU citizens have a fundamental right to free movement in the EU. The EU Digital Covid Certificate, available in paper or digital format, will make it easier for Europeans to travel...” +

“Eventually we will need some [[digital certificate]]s to show who has recovered or been tested (for [[COVID-19]]) recently, or when we have a [[COVID-19/Vaccine|vaccine]], who has received it.” +

1993 World Trade Center bombing +

““We have no plans to introduce them” said the [[UK/Prime Minister|prime minister]] ([[Boris Johnson]]) when talking about so-called [[vaccine passports]]. “I certainly am not planning to issue any [[vaccine passports]] and I don't know anyone else in government who would”, said [[Michael Gove]] and “no one has been given or will be required to have a vaccine passport” said the man himself, the [[UK/Minister for Covid Vaccine Deployment|vaccine's minister]] [[Nadhim Zahawi]]. Now in a [[slippery slope|slope slipperier]] than the ones Eddie the Eagle used to chuck himself off, it seems the government have changed their mind. First it was talk of nightclubs or sports events, and now the government is I quote “not ruling out making students be fully vaccinated to attend lectures”.... I guarantee you this is not where it ends.” +

"War on Drugs" +

“A free market for drugs would unleash a drug epidemic, while a regulated one would create a parallel criminal market.” +

"War on Drugs" +

“See, if you look at the drug war from a purely economic point of view, the role of the government is to protect the drug cartel.” +

"War on Terror" +

“Given terrorism's unique dependence on publicity and amplification, the media have a crucial role in either facilitating or obstructing the spread of terrorism against the West... manipulation of public opinion is in fact, central to the terrorist strategy. For this purpose, access to the media, indeed their domination, is indispensable.” +

"War on Terror" +

“Western governments and the financial sponsors of [[jihad]]... [W]e remain allies with those who have sponsored this terrorism for the last 30 years.” +

"War on Terror" +

“The surest defense against terrorism is to refuse to be terrorized.” +

'Feliks' +

“Wikipedia is not just what it appears to be. It is more than a lexicon. It is also a bogus encyclopedia, a small but effective opinion manipulation machine. In certain areas, the encyclopedia becomes a pseudo-encyclopedia and has for years been dominated by a small group consisting of approx. 200 people. The only thing remaining is something that looks like a reference book, but is in the hands of dogmatists and people who write in [[Wikipedia]] non-stop, but have no qualifications in the areas they write about.” +

1916 +

“Lord Milner had just orchestrated a [[1916 British coup|British coup in 1916]] ousting Labour’s [[Herbert Asquith]] in order to bring Milner’s [[Round Table group]] into dominance as a shaper of imperial foreign policy at a pivotal moment in history. This coup allowed this group to define the terms of the [[WWI/Legacy|Post-war world]] at Versailles” +

1936 +

“I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but I do remember she asked me no questions. I made five exposures, working closer and closer from the same direction. I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean- to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it.” +

1950 +

“JIC-502 intelligence report titled “Implications of [[Soviet]] Possession of [[Atomic Weapons]]” drafted in Jan 20th 1950, turned out not to be an intelligence report at all but rather a sales pitch, claiming that a nuclear-armed [[Soviet Union]] had introduced the notion that “a tremendous military advantage would be gained by the power that struck first and succeeded in carrying through an effective surprise attack.” +

1951 +

“The oil cartel or deep state initiated in 1951 a process [to remove Mossadeq from power] that the American public state only authorised [through the CIA] two years later” +

1959 +

“In August 1959, [[Cees Van den Heuvel|['Cees'] Van den Heuvel]] set up a foundation for research into human ecology based in the [[Hague]]. The title is indicative, if not conclusive: in 1955, the [[CIA]] had founded a [[Society for the Study of Human Ecology]] which changed name in 1961 to become the [[Human Ecology Fund]]. Both American organizations were funding conduits for the CIA's [[MK-ULTRA]] programme of research into [[mind control]] and [[brainwashing]]. Van den Heuvel's human ecology foundation would soon change titles to the [[Oost-West Stichting]] (East-West Foundation), which received funding from the [[BVD]]. According to an Italian secret service ([[SIFAR]]) report dated October [[1963]], the BVD funded a meeting in [[Barbizon]] near [[Paris]] on 5th - 8th October [[1961]] where "the participants decided to unite all efforts and initiatives of [[the struggle against Communism]] within a new organization and place these on a serious and expert footing."” +

1959 +

“A [[US Army]] operating manual from 1956 stated explicitly that biological and chemical warfare were an integral operating portion of US military strategy, were not restricted in any way, and that [[US/Congress|Congress]] had given the military “First Strike” authority on their use. In 1959, an attempt by Congress to remove this first-strike authority was defeated by the White House and bio-chemical weapons expenditures increased from $75 million to almost $350 million.” +

1960s +

“After five decades, the mysteries behind the assassinations of [[JFK/Assassination|John F. Kennedy]], [[RFK/Assassination|Robert F. Kennedy]], [[MLK/Assassination|Martin Luther King Jr.]] and [[Malcolm X/Assassination|Malcolm X]] may finally get the scrutiny they deserve. A group consisting of relatives of the Kennedy and King families, as well as their confidantes and other prominent voices, is calling for a [[Truth and Reconciliation Committee]] to get to the bottom of these tragic murders.” +

1970s +

“[M]uch of the destabilization of British [[democracy]] in the 1970s can only be fully understood by analysing the international support given to groups like the Anglo-American “deniable propaganda” outlet, the [[Institute for the Study of Conflict]].” +

1980s +

“The [[Savings and Loan crisis]] was a huge wealth transfer... According to people like ''[[Houston Post]]'s [[Pete Brewton]] It was intelligence and organized crime that essentially collaborated with major [[Wall St bank]]s at the time like [[Drexel Burnham Lambert]] and some of these other groups. This particular nexus, by [[taking like 6 billion dollars out of the savings and loan industry]] when it was deregulated basically buy what they didn't already own of corporate America. And so you have [[The Cabal|the same group]] more or less having compromised [[politicians]] through [[sex blackmail]] for decades, and by the time they own corporate America, due to the role that corporate America plays in US politics they can essentially buy everyone else out... During the same period of time, this network was also basically finding a way to [[off-the-books finance]], erm "activities" — secret wars, really — ''all over the globe'', not just in [[Nicaragua]], at the the time, but really congressional approval to finance proxy armies... and for a long time this was justified with "this is necessary to [[fight the communists]]" and of course with the fall of the Soviet Union that excuse sort of collapses. And from that point, I see that power nexus in the 80s, after the [[fall of the Soviet Union]] I see that there's two, really a split, and you see it with [[US politics]] today. You have people... hungry for a return to the [[Reagan era]] days where America is on top and use these same types of illegal activities to further [[US imperialism]], with a sort of warped idea of American [[nationalism]]. And then you have this other side that's the internationalist camp or the [[globalists]] that want [[global governance]], and you sort of have them ''competing'' but... both factions go back to [[Iran contra]] and these intelligence, [[organized crime]] [[criminal gang|group]]s.” +

“The political stability of Eastern Europe will continue into the [[1990s|nineties]].” +

1989 +

“In one sense [[MI6]] and [[MI5]] have got it right, are, in fact, a brilliant success. Faced with their biggest crisis of the post-war period, the end of the Red Menace which justified the budgets, the careers and the gongs, they have emerged with budgets renewed, new agendas approved; untouched by the politicians, unsupervised by anyone, still - we are not supposed to laugh - still accountable to the Crown not Parliament ( i.e. to no-one). Both MI6 and MI5 have reacted to the new conditions post [[Cold War]] in thoroughly competent, even creative ways. Needing something something to justify the budget, MI6 picked the international drug trade. Far as I know, since MI6 joined the '[[war against drugs]]' the price of [[cocaine]] and [[heroin]] in the UK at street level has halved: it is now cheaper to get off your face, as they say in Hull, on smack than it is on [[alcohol]]. And didn't I read a few months ago that MI6 had persuaded [[Clare Short]] to task them to provide her with early warning of [[coups]] in the developing world? An honest-to-goodness license to do anything, anywhere. Only a Labour government, timid and ignorant, would fall for a proposal as preposterous as that one. MI5 hardly paused for breath after losing the KGB 'threat' contained in the Soviet Embassy and its Trade Mission, before acquiring the [[domestic terrorism]] franchise from the [[Met Special Branch]] and beginning the process of hyping up the animal rights and green activists as a new terrorist threat. (And they are getting a new definition of [[terrorism]] run through the Houses of Parliament to support it.) Of course, only the politicians and some of the media - the handful who are paying any attention at all - take the talk of the war on drugs seriously. MI6 don't, I am sure; any more than they seriously intend to provide Clare Short with an early warning of coups in the Third World. At the higher levels of MI6, MI5 and all the rest they must be chortling in the senior dining rooms at the incredible gullibility of the British political class - and this present lot in particular.”

“It is widely believed by the general public that a retrovirus called [[HIV]] causes a group of diseases called [[AIDS]]. Many biomedical scientists now question this hypothesis. We propose a thorough reappraisal of the existing evidence for and against this hypothesis, to be conducted by a suitable independent group. We further propose that the critical epidemiological studies be devised and undertaken.” +

“The 1993 WTC bombing created the necessary pretext for a massive engineering upgrade of the WTC complex. The purpose of the 1993 WTC bombing was not to bring down the WTC. A truck bomb could not bring down a structure as large as the WTC. The purpose of the 1993 WTC bombing was to create a rationale for a “security upgrade” of the WTC complex. And for this purpose, the 1993 WTC bombing succeeded perfectly. According to [[Alan Reiss]], the [[PANYNJ]]’s World Trade Center Director, “After the 1993 bombing, we implemented a ten-year redevelopment program. We were spending a half a billion dollars on upgrades. It was an engineer’s dream”. After the 1993 bombing, the [[PANYNJ]] brought in [[Kroll Associates]] to do a “complete security analysis”. The executive director of the Port Authority emphasized the importance of Kroll’s work at the WTC by saying, “We have such confidence in [Kroll] that I have followed every one of their recommendations. The person who led Kroll’s work on the WTC was [[Brian Michael Jenkins]].” +

1994 Scotland RAF Chinook crash +

“The initial point of impact was 810 feet above mean sea level and about 500 metres east of the lighthouse, but the bulk of the aircraft remained airborne for a further 187 metres horizontally north and 90 feet vertically before coming to rest in pieces. Fire broke out immediately. All those on board sustained injuries from which they must have died almost instantaneously. The points of impact were shrouded in local cloud with visibility reduced to a few metres, which prevented those witnesses who had heard the aircraft from seeing it.” +

1994 Scotland RAF Chinook crash +

“After seventeen years of blaming the two pilots of the RAF Chinook which crashed in 1994, killing all 29 people (senior police and secret police), the MOD changed its mind and announced that it wasn’t their fault at all: it was the helicopter. Even to a casual reader like me this was obvious almost immediately after the official lies were issued. But the RAF as an institution went along with the lie. Why? Because they did not want to blame the helicopter. Criticising Sikorsky, its maker, is criticising America.” +

1997 Turkish military memorandum +

“In Turkey we have a marriage of Islam and democracy. (...) The child of this marriage is secularism. Now this child gets sick from time to time. The Turkish Armed Forces is the doctor which saves the child. Depending on how sick the kid is, we administer the necessary medicine to make sure the child recuperates.” +

“If [Bruce Ivins] is the one who sent the letter, I do not believe in any way, shape or manner that he is the only person involved in this attack on Congress and the American people. I do not believe that at all. I believe there are others involved, either as accessories before or accessories after the fact. I believe that there are others out there, I believe there are others who could be charged with [[murder]]. I just want you to know how I feel about it, as one of the people who was aimed at in the attack."” +

2001 Mexican legislative assembly attack +

“Los Angeles, Alta California - October 12, 2001 - (ACN) We were alerted this morning by a subscriber from [[Mexico]] that two [[Israelis]] were arrested Wednesday inside the Palacio Legislativo de San Lбzaro (Mexican Congress) in [[Mexico City]]. Both were armed with 9 mm automatics and one was carrying a military hand grenade, electrical wiring and other bomb related materials. The Israeli Embassy at Sierra Madre 2155, colonia Lomas de Chapultepec has close its doors to the Mexican Press and are refusing to talk. The incident has been independently verified by [[La Voz de Aztlan]] through Mexican diplomatic, press and other sources in [[Mexico City]]. The Chief of Legislative Security, [[Salvador Alarcуn]], has also confirmed the arrest of the two Israeli [[terrorists]]. One of them [[Saur Ben Zvi]] is a confirmed citizen of Israel and the other, [[Salvador Guersson]], recently immigrated to Mexico from Israel. It is has been determined by the Procuradurнa General de la Repъblica (Mexican Department of Justice) that Guersson is a retired Colonel of the Israeli Defense Forces and that he may now be operating as a [[MOSSAD]] agent. It is not known how they were able to penetrate the extensive security system of the Mexican Legislative Palace. This is a very grave incident with many serious international implications. Many have questioned who may be really behind many of the recent terrorist acts around the world including the ones against the WTC and the Pentagon. The Mexican public and congress has been reticent about declaring war against Islam along with the U.S. It is possible that an act of "terrorism" against the Mexican Congress was planned in order to "terrorize" Mexico into towing the line against Islam. La Voz de Aztlan will be on top of this developing story to report any additional developments.” +

2010 United States diplomatic cables leak/Middle East +

“You know better than I that we cannot deal with these people (the Guantanamo detainees). I can't detain them. If I take their passports, they will sue to get them back. I can talk to you into next week about building a rehabilitation center, but it won't happen. We are not Saudi Arabia; we cannot isolate these people in desert camps or somewhere on an island. We cannot compel them to stay. If they are rotten, they are rotten and the best thing to do is get rid of them. You picked them up in Afghanistan; you should drop them off in Afghanistan, in the middle of the war zone.” +

“Gaddafi's government holds 143 tons of [[gold]], and a similar amount in silver. This gold was intended to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide Francophone Africa with an alternative to the CFA."” +

2014 Ukraine coup +

“I suspect this entire Ukraine Crisis had been war-gamed and war planned quite some time ago at the highest levels of US/NATO. '''Notice DOD slipped 2 US warships into the Black Sea just before the Olympics under a patently absurd pretext. In other words, what we are seeing unfold here is a US/NATO War Plan.''' They instigated the fascist coup against Yanukovich. They anticipated that Putin would then respond by taking over Crimea. I suspect the US/NATO/EU response will be to introduce military forces into Western Ukraine and Kiev and thus make Ukraine a de facto member of [[NATO]], which has been their objective all along. They have already anticipated what Putin’s next move after that will be. '''Notice also the massive anti-Russian campaign by the Western News Media working in lock-step with each other. Another sign that all this has been planned well in advance.''' '''I suspect that US/NATO/EU figure that Putin knows they have this offensive, first-strike strategic nuclear capability with a rudimentary ABM/BMD capability so that at the end of the day he will be forced to stand down—or else.''' ''Compellence'' as opposed to ''Deterrence''. Just like during the Cuban Missile Crisis. That is where this US/NATO/EU War Plan is heading on the assumptions that they can keep their deliberate Escalation Dominance under their control and that at the end of the day Putin will be forced to stand down just like Khrushchev did and for the same reasons. That would leave US/NATO/EU in control of at least half of Ukraine as a de facto NATO member state.” +

2017 Westminster attack +

“The terrorist attack staged by [[Khalid Masood]] on 22 March 2017, in which he attempted to enter Parliament, raised some questions. Most interesting, to my mind, was the matter of how he managed to arrive with such precision at the moment when the Carriage Gate to the South of the parliamentary estate was not only wide open but with just its regular unarmed, and low-key, uniformed police presence as a guard. In fact, were it not for the fortuitous presence at the scene of the armed bodyguard of [[Defence Secretary]] [[Michael Fallon]], Masood would undoubtedly have got further with his attack than he did. It was widely reported Masood had been using the popular encrypted instant messaging application WhatsApp on his mobile in the immediate lead up to the attack. Since it seems improbable that he was chatting casually about nothing in particular as he drove to his certain death, the presence of irretrievable messages suggests some kind of coordination. From that arises almost automatically the hypothesis that Masood had a source in the parliamentary estate, steering him towards the right place and time to penetrate Parliament’s defences.” +

2020 +

“As [[the Establishment]] feels its grip slipping, as people wake up to the appalling economic exploitation by the few that underlies the very foundations of modern western society, expect the methods used by the security services to become even dirtier. You can bank on continued ramping up of [[Russophobia]] to supply “the enemy”. As both [[Scottish Independence]] and [[Jeremy Corbyn]] are viewed as real threats by the British Establishment, you can anticipate every possible kind of dirty trick in the next couple of years, with increasing frequency and audacity.” +

2020s +

“I once asked the question: is this [[COVID-19/Pandemic|pandemic]], this [[coronavirus]], a man-made phenomenon? I don’t know the answer yet, but I have my suspicions. Are politicians and others using this situation for their own purposes? You and I both know the answer to that question. You already see how it is used today... Doesn’t it seem to you that the powerful forces of the world would like to remake the world, without a ‘war’ ([[Emmanuel Macron]] has already called it a war), through this so-called ‘[[COVID-19/Panic|corona-psychosis]]’, or ‘info-demic’? Many people are asking: ‘what will happen after the pandemic?’” +

“In a blunt opening statement before the talks in private, Mr [[Anthony Blinken]] said the US would "discuss our deep concerns with actions by China, including in Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Taiwan, [[cyber attacks]] on the United States, economic coercion of our allies". "Each of these actions threaten the rules-based order that maintains global stability," he said. In response, Mr [[Yang Jiechi]] accused Washington of using its military might and financial supremacy to suppress other countries. "It abuses so-called notions of national security to obstruct normal trade exchanges, and incite some countries to attack China," he added. Mr Yang said human rights in the US were at a low point, with black Americans being "slaughtered".” +

“Children report having online sexual interactions at high rates — both with their peers and people they believe to adults: 25 percent of kids 9-17 reported having had a sexually explicit interaction with someone they thought was 18 or older, compared to 23 percent of participants that had a similar experience with someone they believed to be a minor. (...) The majority of children who block or report other users say those same users quickly find them again online: More than half of children who blocked someone said they were contacted again by the same person again, either through a new account or a different platform. This was true both for people children knew in real life (54 percent) and people they had only met online (51 percent).” +

“After his visit to Washington, TIME followed the President and his team back to Kyiv, hoping to understand how they would react to the signals they had received, especially the insistent calls for Zelensky to fight corruption inside his own government, and the fading enthusiasm for a war with no end in sight. On my first day in Kyiv, I asked one member of his circle how the President was feeling. The response came without a second’s hesitation: “Angry.” The usual sparkle of his optimism, his sense of humor, his tendency to liven up a meeting in the war room with a bit of banter or a bawdy joke, none of that has survived into the second year of all-out war. “Now he walks in, gets the updates, gives the orders, and walks out,” says one longtime member of his team. Another tells me that, most of all, Zelensky feels betrayed by his Western allies. They have left him without the means to win the war, only the means to survive it. But his convictions haven’t changed. Despite the recent setbacks on the battlefield, he does not intend to give up fighting or to sue for any kind of peace. On the contrary, his belief in Ukraine’s ultimate victory over Russia has hardened into a form that worries some of his advisers. It is immovable, verging on the messianic. “He deludes himself,” one of his closest aides tells me in frustration. “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that.” Zelensky’s stubbornness, some of his aides say, has hurt their team’s efforts to come up with a new strategy, a new message. As they have debated the future of the war, one issue has remained taboo: the possibility of negotiating a peace deal with the Russians” +

Honestly, I don’t see anybody. Who is ready to give [[Ukraine]] guarantees of [[NATO]] membership? Honestly, everybody is afraid” +

2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine/Legacy +

“The bitter truth is that Washington's foreign policy establishment never actually considered Zelensky - or his predecessor Poroshenko - to be allies or partners of the United States. Overflowing with a toxic mix of ignorance, arrogance, and extreme cynicism, Washington's elites have always viewed Ukraine as a tool to "regime-change" a Russia that, after its post-Yeltsin recovery, would no longer take its direction from them. The false gods of American exceptionalism are jealous ones indeed.” +

“It’s public now, directors of the U.S. CIA and Russian SVR recently discussed how to resolve the Ukraine. The Ukraine war ends soon enough, because the U.S. and its hegemonic bloc STRAIGHT UP RUN OUT OF AMMO by the first months of next year, IN THE VERY “BEST” CASE (for them.) That is, they’ll be able to supply the Ukraine minimally after that, but, NOT REMOTELY enough to keep Russia at bay.” +

2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine/Preparation +

“The Kremlin has at least six possible military options: 1. Redeploy some of its ground forces away from the Ukrainian border—at least temporarily—if negotiations are successful but continue to aid pro-Russian rebels in Eastern Ukraine. 2. Send conventional Russian troops into the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk as unilateral “peacekeepers” and refuse to withdraw them until peace talks end successfully and Kiev agrees to implement the Minsk Accords. 3. Seize Ukrainian territory as far west as the Dnepr River to use as a bargaining chip or incorporate this new territory fully into the Russian Federation. This option is represented in Figure 2a. 4. Seize Ukrainian territory up to the Dnepr River and seize an additional belt of land (to include Odessa) that connects Russian territory with the breakaway Transdniestria Republic and separates Ukraine from any access to the Black Sea. The Kremlin would incorporate these new lands into Russia and ensure that the rump Ukrainian statelet remains economically unviable. 5. Seize only a belt of land between Russia and Transdniestria (including Mariupol, Kherson, and Odessa) to secure freshwater supplies for Crimea and block Ukraine’s access to the sea, while avoiding major combat over [[Kiev]] and Kharkiv. This option is represented in Figure 2b. 6. Seize all of Ukraine and, with Belarus, announce the formation of a new tripartite Slavic union of Great, Little, and White Russians (Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians). This option would involve operations represented in Figure 2a as “phase one,” with Figure 2c representing “phase two” of this option.” +

“Russia behind the Headlines has published an interview with Gorbachev, who was Soviet president during the discussions and treaty negotiations concerning German reunification. The interviewer asked why Gorbachev did not “insist that the promises made to you [Gorbachev]—particularly U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s promise that NATO would not expand into the East—be legally encoded?” Gorbachev replied: “The topic of ‘NATO expansion’ was not discussed at all, and it wasn’t brought up in those years. … Another issue we brought up was discussed: making sure that NATO’s military structures would not advance and that additional armed forces would not be deployed on the territory of the then-GDR after German reunification. Baker’s statement was made in that context… Everything that could have been and needed to be done to solidify that political obligation was done. And fulfilled.” Gorbachev continued that “The agreement on a final settlement with Germany said that no new military structures would be created in the eastern part of the country; no additional troops would be deployed; no weapons of mass destruction would be placed there. It has been obeyed all these years.” To be sure, the former Soviet president criticized NATO enlargement and called it a violation of the spirit of the assurances given Moscow in 1990, but he made clear there was no promise regarding broader enlargement.” +

“Western countries have been saying for centuries that they bring freedom and democracy to other nations. Nothing could be further from the truth. Instead of bringing [[democracy]] they suppressed and exploited, and instead of giving [[freedom]] they enslaved and oppressed. The unipolar [[world]] is inherently anti-democratic and unfree; it is false and hypocritical through and through. The [[United States]] is the only [[country]] in the world that has used [[nuclear weapons]] twice, destroying the cities of [[Hiroshima]] and [[Nagasaki]] in [[Japan]]. And they created a precedent. Recall that during [[WWII]] the [[United States]] and [[Britain]] reduced [[Dresden]], [[Hamburg]], [[Cologne]] and many other [[German]] [[cities]] to rubble, without the least [[military]] necessity. It was done ostentatiously and, to repeat, without any military necessity. They had only one goal, as with the nuclear bombing of [[Japanese]] cities: to intimidate our country and the rest of the [[world]]. The United States left a deep scar in the memory of the people of [[Korea]] and [[Vietnam]] with their carpet bombings and use of [[napalm]] and [[chemical weapons]]. It actually continues to occupy Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea and other countries, which they cynically refer to as equals and allies. Look now, what kind of alliance is that? The whole world knows that the top officials in these countries are being spied on and that their offices and homes are bugged. It is a disgrace, a disgrace for those who do this and for those who, like slaves, silently and meekly swallow this arrogant behaviour. They call the orders and threats they make to their vassals [[Euro]]-Atlantic solidarity, and the creation of [[biological weapons]] and the use of human test subjects, including in [[Ukraine]], noble [[medical research]]. It is their destructive policies, [[war]]s and plunder that have unleashed today’s massive wave of migrants. Millions of people endure hardships and humiliation or die by the thousands trying to reach [[Europe]].”

“Dozens of versions of the above war-game scenario have been enacted over the last few years, most recently in April by the House Select Committee on competition with China. And while the ultimate outcome in these exercises is not always clear — the U.S. does better in some than others — the cost is. In every exercise the U.S. uses up all its long-range air-to-surface missiles in a few days, with a substantial portion of its planes destroyed on the ground. In every exercise the U.S. is not engaged in an abstract push-button war from 30,000 feet up like the ones Americans have come to expect since the end of the Cold War, but a horrifically bloody one. Soldiers of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army hold up shotguns. And that’s assuming the U.S.-China war doesn’t go nuclear.” +

“Last week’s indictment of McGonigal is a classic case of raising more questions than were answered. The evidence presented by prosecutors suggests the FBI counterintelligence expert wasn’t introduced to Deripaska until his waning days with the bureau in 2018, aided by a pair of Russian diplomats. In 2019, after he’d retired, the indictment says McGonigal went to work for the oligarch to help him evade U.S. sanctions and to investigate a rival. But the Times also reported that U.S. counterintelligence — in which McGonigal had been a key player — had tried unsuccessfully to recruit Deripaska as an asset in the years around the 2016 election. Like the Woody Allen character Zelig, Deripaska — a 55-year-old aluminum magnate who at one time was the richest man in Putin’s Russia — is turning up in the background everywhere in the ongoing corruption of American democracy. The oligarch’s history of multimillion-dollar business dealings with Paul Manafort — Trump’s campaign manager in the summer of 2016 — is central to the theory of Russian interference, after it was confirmed that Manafort shared key campaign data with a suspected Russian intelligence agent also connected to Deripaska. In 2019, Deripaska did manage to get those U.S. sanctions lifted, in a controversial deal backed not only by Team Trump but critically by then-Senate Majority Leader [[Mitch McConnell]]. That same year, a Deripaska-linked [[aluminium]] company announced it would build a large plant in Kentucky, where McConnell was running for re-election. (It eventually wasn’t built.) This is the same McConnell who, during that critical fall period in [[2016]], refused to sign a bipartisan statement warning about Russian election interference.” +

“A majority of U.S. intelligence agencies has so far concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic mostly likely started when SARS-CoV-2 jumped from an infected animal host into people; a wildlife market in Wuhan, China, has received intense attention from researchers as the potential source. But the Department of Energy and FBI so far have favored the so-called lab-leak hypothesis, even though none of the agencies has expressed high confidence in their conclusions on COVID-19’s origin. CIA, for example, had reportedly said it was “unable to determine” whether SARS-CoV-2 made a direct jump from animals to humans—or came from a lab. Now, Representative [[Brad Wenstrup]] (R–OH), who chairs the [[House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic]], says his panel and the [[House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence]] have heard testimony from a [[whistleblower]] “who presents as a highly credible senior-level [[CIA]] officer.” According to the press release, the whistleblower testified that only the most senior analyst of a seven-member [[CIA]] team investigating the origin of [[COVID-19]] supported the zoonotic transmission theory. The [[whistleblower]] alleged the other six team members supporting the lab origin then received “a significant monetary incentive to change their position,” wrote Wenstrup and Representative [[Mike Turner]] (R–OH), who chairs the intelligence panel.” +

“Former V.I. Attorney General Denise George, who successfully sued the estate of Jeffrey Epstein and then was summarily fired by Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. in December, has broken her silence in an interview with Britain’s Sunday Times Magazine. In it, she hints that a run for governor may be in her future. The interview — published Saturday by the Sunday Times, a 600,000-plus circulation newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. — is the first time George has spoken of her efforts to bring Epstein and his alleged accomplices to account, and the fallout from that endeavor. George, who was widely lauded when she won a $105 million lawsuit against the Epstein estate in November — believed to be the largest monetary settlement in the history of the territory — subsequently filed suit for $190 million against his onetime bank, JPMorgan Chase, on Dec. 27 in Manhattan federal court, alleging violations of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. Bryan fired George four days later, on New Year’s Eve, saying nothing at first but later admitting that he was “blindsided” by the lawsuit that has opened V.I. officials to scrutiny for their dealings with Epstein. That includes Bryan himself, who approved Epstein’s lucrative Economic Development Authority benefits when he was head of the EDA board and has been deposed by JPMorgan’s attorneys, along with a host of other territory officials.” +

“There had already been a significant increase in violence by Israeli settlers this year, even before the Hamas attack, according to UN data, with more than 100 incidents reported each month and about 400 people driven from their land between January and August. Israeli human rights organisation B'Tselem told the BBC that since the attack, it had documented "a concerted and organised effort by settlers to use the fact that the entire international and local attention is focused on Gaza and the north of Israel to try to seize land in the West Bank". Partial data compiled by B'Tselem, covering the first six days after the Hamas attack, recorded at least 46 separate incidents in which it said settlers threatened, physically attacked or damaged the property of Palestinians in the West Bank. "A lot of shepherding families and communities have fled because they were threatened in the past week by settlers," said Roy Yellin, a spokesman for B'Tselem. "Settlers have been giving residents a deadline to leave and telling them if they don't they will be harmed. And some villages have been totally emptied out."” +

“When I was first asked to work there [at Shifa], I was told there was a part of the hospital I was not to go near, and if I did, I’d be in danger of being shot. No, but implicit was that it was being used for non-medical purposes. I stayed away, but I saw a few dodgy-looking non-medical characters going in and out all the time. It was a ward leading to a basement. As I said, I didn’t go there; so I behaved myself. I was welcome everywhere else, and as I say the doctors and nurses there were very welcoming and very kind and the hushed tones under which this was said was very consistent with all the other hushed tones with which Hamas was discussed. You know people were genuinely fearful. I cannot emphasise too much, the air of collective paranoia that existed there. If hospital staff were 10 per cent frightened of possible Israeli airstrikes, they were 90 per cent frightened of being persecuted by Hamas.’” +

“UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini said after a key Hamas operations center was discovered right beneath his headquarters that he had no idea. That's absurd. There was a very advanced tunnel with electrical cables, which supplied a Hamas server center with power. That came directly from UNRWA's electricity grid. Moreover, a few years ago, UNRWA staff noticed that an entire parking lot above it was starting to subside. So what do you mean, we couldn't have known anything?” +

2023-2024 Israel-Hamas War/October 7 +

“Last year, after Israel obtained the Jericho Wall document, the military’s Gaza division drafted its own intelligence assessment of this latest invasion plan. Hamas had "decided to plan a new raid, unprecedented in its scope," analysts wrote in the assessment reviewed by The Times. It said that Hamas intended to carry out a deception operation followed by a “large-scale maneuver” with the aim of overwhelming the division. But the Gaza division referred to the plan as a “compass.” In other words, the division determined that Hamas knew where it wanted to go but had not arrived there yet. On July 6, 2023, the veteran Unit 8200 analyst wrote to a group of other intelligence experts that dozens of Hamas commandos had recently conducted training exercises, with senior Hamas commanders observing. The training included a dry run of shooting down Israeli aircraft and taking over a kibbutz and a military training base, killing all the cadets. During the exercise, Hamas fighters used the same phrase from the Quran that appeared at the top of the Jericho Wall attack plan, she wrote in the email exchanges viewed by The Times. The analyst warned that the drill closely followed the Jericho Wall plan, and that Hamas was building the capacity to carry it out. The colonel in the Gaza division applauded the analysis but said the exercise was part of a “totally imaginative” scenario, not an indication of Hamas’s ability to pull it off. “In short, let’s wait patiently,” the colonel wrote.” +

9-11/Air Defence +

“According to mainstream information, QRA intercepts happened at a rate of almost 400 times per year in the early 1990s. After the reduction to 7 sites, each with two jets, in the late [[1990s]], they still occurred roughly twice per week right up to [[9/11]]. What are the details of these intercepts with regard to protocol/chain of command and reaction time? Who exactly was responsible for the failure to redirect QRA jets, normally aimed at planes coming in from overseas, toward threats emerging from over the mainland? Why were no QRA jets available at Andrews Air Force Base, right next to the nation's capital, a primary target for every terrorist in the world? Terrorists of various convictions have tried to target the White House and other buildings with airliners and small airplanes since at least 1974. What message does it send to world when the world's greatest superpower leaves its capital without air cover? [[NORAD]]'s Langley interceptors accidentally flew east over the ocean while they should have been heading to the north-west, towards Washington, D.C. This was standard operating procedure when pilots were scrambled but not provided with a target. How could this mistake happen, as any commander at any level should be aware of this basic procedure? Who is responsible? Why weren't the pilots of the Langley jets provided with information on their target? Who is responsible for that?” +

9-11/Air Defence +

“The attacks against the twin towers started at 8:45 a.m. and four flights are diverted from their assigned air space and no air traffic controller sounds the alarm. And no Air Force jets scramble until 10 a.m. That also smacks of a small scale Air Force rebellion, a coup against the Pentagon perhaps? Radars are jammed, transponders fail. No IFF — friend or foe identification — challenge.” +

9-11/Compensation fund +

“The victims fund was not created in a spirit of compassion. Rather, it was a tacit acknowledgement by [[Congress]] that it tampered with our civil justice system in an unprecedented way. Lawmakers capped the liability of the airlines at the behest of lobbyists who descended on [[Washington DC|Washington]] while the Sept. 11 fires still smouldered. And this liability cap protects not just the airlines, but also World Trade Center builders, safety engineers and other defendants. The caps on liability have consequences for those who want to sue to shed light on the mistakes of [[9/11]]. It means the playing field is tilted steeply in favor of those who need to be held accountable. With the financial consequences other than insurance proceeds removed, there is no incentive for those whose negligence contributed to the death toll to acknowledge their failings or implement reforms. They can afford to deny culpability and play a waiting game.” +

9-11/Insider Trading +

“Highly publicized allegations of insider trading in advance of [[9/11]] generally rest on reports of unusual pre-9/11 trading activity in companies whose stock plummeted after the attacks. Some unusual trading did in fact occur, but each such trade proved to have an innocuous explanation. For example, the volume of put options- investments that pay off only when a stock drops in price-surged in the parent companies of United Airlines on September 6 and American Airlines on September 10-highly suspicious trading on its face. Yet, further investigation has revealed that the trading had no connection with 9/11. A single U.S.-based institutional investor with no conceivable ties to [[al Qaeda]] purchased 95 percent of the UAL puts on September 6 as part of a trading strategy that also included buying 115,000 shares of American on September 10. Similarly, much of the seemingly suspicious trading in American on September 10 was traced to a specific U.S.-based options trading newsletter, faxed to its subscribers on Sunday, September 9, which recommended these trades. These examples typify the evidence examined by the investigation. The [[SEC]] and the [[FBI]], aided by other agencies and the securities industry, devoted enormous resources to investigating this issue, including securing the cooperation of many foreign governments. These investigators have found that the apparently suspicious consistently proved innocuous. Joseph Cella interview (Sept. 16, 2003; May 7, 2004; May 10-11, 2004); FBI briefing (Aug. 15, 2003); SEC memo, Division of Enforcement to SEC Chair and Commissioners, “Pre-September 11, 2001 Trading Review,” May 15, 2002; Ken Breen interview (Apr. 23, 2004); Ed G. interview (Feb. 3, 2004).” +

“The widely held belief that the [[Twin Towers collapsed]] as a result of the [[airplane]] impacts and the resulting fires is, unbeknownst to most people, a [[revisionist]] theory.

“Within 10 minutes of the second twin tower being hit in the World Trade Center ... CNN said Osama bin Laden had done it. That was a planned piece of disinformation by the real perpetrators.

“At some time between 10:10 and 10:15, a military aide told the [[Dick Cheney|Vice President]] and others that the aircraft was 80 miles out. Vice President Cheney was asked for authority to engage the aircraft. His reaction was described by [[Scooter Libby]] as quick and decisive, “in about the time it takes a batter to decide to swing.” The Vice President authorized fighter aircraft to engage the inbound plane. He told us he based this authorization on his earlier conversation with the President. The military aide returned a few minutes later, probably between 10:12 and 10:18, and said the aircraft was 60 miles out. He again asked for authorization to engage. The Vice President again said yes.” +

“[...] a lot of symptoms that were consistent with neurotoxic poisoning. Those were just the physical symptoms and in some cases people reported, that their hair fell out and even their dental work fell out. And to me they were consistent with signs of radiation poisoning. But however, the toxic cocktail that had been burning there, I think a [[California]] group went and analyzed and pretty much came out with the determination that there are about 900 contaminants, 200 different kind of dioxins, we had the particulate matter, the asbestos, the concrete.” [...] “What is interesting is that, we were, anytime we were ill or not feeling right, the September eleven help services and the red cross would try to get us into counseling and, to me at the end of all of this, it seemed that we experienced the same thing that the gulf war, or other civilians who were exposed to local [[superfund site]] disasters, we were all told it was in our head. That's exactly what went on down at 911.” ... “It wasn't until I went to a detox program. We got together with everyone else and compared symptoms, that we realized that this was an epidemic.” +

9-11/WTC Controlled demolition +

“Nanoenergetic thermite materials release energy much faster than conventional energetic materials and have various potential military applications, such as rocket propellants, aircraft fuel and explosives. They are likely to become the next-generation explosive materials, as they enable flexibility in energy density and power release through control of particle size distribution, stoichiometry and choice of fuel and oxidizer. The reduction of the reactant powders from micro- to nano-size generates a more intimate contact between the particles. This, in turn, increases the reaction front propagation velocity in some systems by two to three orders of magnitude.” +

“we were setting up different kind of stations, IV stations, cardiac stations, just .., wound stations, burn stations, just trying to have an organized space. What happened with that particluar triage site is that, pretty soon after noon, after mid-day on 911, we had to evacuate that because they told us that building 7 was coming down. If you had been there, not being able to see very much, just flames everywhere and dark smoke, it is entirely possible, I do believe that they brought building 7 down because I heard they were going to bring it down, because it was unstable, because of the colleteral damage. That I don't know, I can't attest to the validity of that, all I can attest to is that by noon or one o 'clock they told us we had to move from that triage site up to [[Pace University]], a little further away, because building 7 was gonna come down, or being brought down.

“If the LDP paid attention to public opinion polls or party members, Ishiba would be a serious contender. However, the key issue is that among the party elite he is unpopular. Abe – who, like mob bosses everywhere, maintains power by rewarding loyalty and punishing dissent – dislikes Ishiba with a passion. This seems to leave the path to the premiership open to Chief Cabinet Secretary [[Yoshihide Suga]], 71, who has been Abe’s right hand man since he took office. Indications are that Suga had been secretly anointed successor prior to Abe’s resignation as he made a whirlwind of [[TV]] appearances over the summer while Abe appeared to be convalescing from his illness or hiding from the press. From July, Abe, Suga and LDP Secretary General Toshihiro Nikai, 81, were reportedly meeting to figure out how to insert Suga into the top spot. Nikai is considered the king-maker within the party, with a goal of ensuring that nothing really changes. Curiously, Suga got into some trouble last year when it emerged that [[Yakuza]] had attended an annual cherry blossom-viewing party hosted by Abe. And certainly, the LDP, like all Yakuza, have problems with [[police]] and [[prosecutors]]. It’s not clear who authorised the payments. Kawai allegedly said that the vote-buying yen was from Abe, the LDP’s head at the time. A possible misuse of public funds to hold cherry blossom viewing parties for Abe supporters is another potential scandal that involves more than just Abe. [[Jin Igarashi]], a political science professor emeritus at [[Hosei University]] in [[Tokyo]], theorised on the real reason for Suga’s rise in evening tabloid, Nikkan Gendai. “The purpose of having Suga run in the election is to put a lid on all the scandals the Abe administration has accumulated,” Igarashi wrote. “If anyone other than Suga becomes PM, all of this could be investigated, and that’s dangerous. That’s why Nikai and Suga rigged the whole thing.”” +

The women were passing messages out saying 'Please come and kill me, because of what's happened' and basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys, children in cases that have been recorded. The boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling. And the worst above all of that is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking that your government has. They are in total terror. It's going to come out.” +

Academic +

“In academic institutions, [[freedom]] of thought and expression is in retreat in many areas. Administrators of [[universities]] have become top-down representatives of government, rather than defenders of the independence of their institutions. Funding is sought from corporations as well as governments: "[[market forces]]" is a [[euphemism]] for conformity to corporate demands.” +

Accountability +

“Accountability remains something that is assumed in the [[United States]] as well as the [[nation]]s of the [[European Union]]. In [[Japan]] it is not. Accountability, everyone will agree, is good and necessary for [[democratic]] [[transparency]] and related platitudes. But there is a less immediately obvious but an actual primary reason why you want structures enforcing it in a political system. Its less visible function is that it protects powerholders against [[madness]]. When officials and [[politicians]] are held to account they are not only kept on their toes, but they themselves are forcefully reminded of what precisely it is that they are doing. If they do not accustom themselves to making a convincing case for their policies to outsiders, they tend to lose the habit of explaining it all to themselves.” +

Theodore Achilles +

“I don't think there has ever been any serious danger of an all out Soviet armed attack west of the East German-West German frontier. The danger has been, and still is, that the Russians can resort to the same tactics they were using after the war, subversion and political blackmail backed by the threat of force--intimidating European Governments with the fear of Soviet force.” +

“The message is clear - ‘don’t worry, don’t delay, just act’ by: :reporting suspicious activity to the police by calling confidentially on 0800 789 321 or at gov.uk/ACT :reporting online terrorist and [[violent extremist]] material online :remaining alert at home, work and when out and about, so we can all play our part in defeating terrorism and keeping everyone safe... [[Mark Rowley]], [[National Counter Terrorism]] Policing lead, said: "Since 2014, the threat of terrorism has been severe, which means that an attack is highly likely..." [[Minister of State for Security|Security Minister]] [[Ben Wallace]] repeated: "The horror of recent [[terrorist]] attacks in [[Europe]] and beyond is a shocking reminder of the threat we all face. We know that we are not immune as the threat to the UK is currently assessed as severe, meaning an attack is highly likely... advances in technology make it more complex and challenging for us to spot would-be terrorists because it’s easier for them to be in contact with others and be [[radicalised]] in a relatively short space of time."” +

Afghanistan/2001 Invasion +

“From a strictly economic perspective, if America's goal was to provide a quality [[education]] to Afghan children, it would have achieved far better social impact, at lower cost, with no suffering if the military followed these steps; Buy a used Gulfstream IV (~$4m), pack it full of Afghan children, fly them across the world to [[Andover]], [[Groton]], [[Eton]], or some [[Le Rosey|Swiss boarding school]], and pay for their entire education (~$4.7m for 24 students, all four years, with boarding). And after everyone is off the private jet, fill two briefcases with [[money]] - $1 million, each; $2 million, in total, in brick of $100 bills - place them on the jet while it's still on the tarmac, and proceed to blow up the jet with [[high explosives]]. This is the effective cost of building a mud and cinder block shanty school in Afghanistan.” +

Afghanistan/2021 withdrawal +

“What I want to assure people is that our political and diplomatic efforts to find a solution for Afghanistan, working with the Taliban, of course if necessary, will go on.” +

Afghanistan/2021 withdrawal +

“I have believed for some time—only underscored by our extraordinarily rapid and ill-conceived evacuation of Afghanistan, leaving behind not only Bagram but enough U.S. weaponry to make the Taliban’s army nearly equivalent to Italy’s, not to mention putting our advanced military technology in the hands of the Chinese and the Russians—that a large percentage of our Democratic Party leadership, as well as a tragically significant percentage of the GOP, have long believed the Chinese regime is winning the battle between China and America for global hegemony. They are, therefore, overtly or covertly, consciously or subconsciously, throwing in with the Chinese side for their own economic advantage, and, to a lesser extent, their survival, though the two intersect.” +

“[CIA] operations help sustain favorable operating conditions for U.S.-based [[multinational corporation|multi-national corporations]]. These conditions, together with political hegemony, were our real goals. So-called [[liberal democracy]] and [[pluralism]] were only means to those ends. "[[Free elections]]" really meant freedom for ''our'' candidates. "[[trade union|Free trade unions]]" meant freedom for us to establish ''our'' unions. "[[Freedom of the press]]" mean freedom for us to pay [[journalists]] to publish ''our'' material as if it were the journalists' own. When an elected government threatened U.S. economic and political interests, it had to go. Social and economic justice were fine concepts for public relations, but only for that.” +

Philip Agee +

“Reforms of the [[FBI]] and the [[CIA]], even removal of the President from office, cannot remove the problem. American [[capitalism]], based as it is on exploitation of the poor, with its fundamental motivation in personal greed, simply cannot survive without force – without a [[secret police force]]. The argument is with capitalism and it is capitalism that must be opposed, with its CIA, FBI and other security agencies understood as logical, necessary manifestations of a [[ruling class]]’s determination to retain power and privilege.” +

Agenda 2030 +

“Their agenda outlines sound harmless enough, as most [[propaganda]] and [[social programs]] do, always ignoring the actual short and long term harms while depending on [[corrupt science]] and [[rigged systems]] that always serve the wealthy. The [[Agenda 21]] of [[1992]] was rebranded in [[2015]] to become ''Agenda 2030'', aka ''Sustainable Development Goals'', intending to strip humanity of all our freedoms and herd us all into crowded cities trapped [see: [[smart cities]]] there dependent on [[universal basic income]] and a rigged [[social credit system]] in disposable consumerist rental lifestyles, leaving the rest of the planets resources and wealth to the control and whims of the [[ruling class]] [[technocracy]]. Rather than reforming this [[authoritarian]] agenda, [[billionaires]] pay millionaires to tell the middle class the poor are the problem and their corporate media claim humanity, our [[overpopulation|population]] numbers, and our [[pollution]] are problematic yet the [[hypocrit]]ical [[corporatocracy]] is never criticized for their [[pollution]], [[corruption]], [[deception]], [[manipulation]], [[exploitation]], [[perpetual wars]], or how they steer us into their [[debt-slave]] [[consumerist]] lifestyles. It may initially sound like a sustainable green techno-[[utopia]] but it will undoubtedly evolve into a [[capitalist]]-[[communist]]-[[totalitarian]] slumlord's inescapable ghetto.” +

Agenda 2030 +

“UN’s “sustainable development” policies, the SDGs, do not promote “sustainability” as most conceive of it and instead utilise the same debt imperialism long used by the Anglo-American Empire (see: [[The Anglo-American Establishment]]) to entrap nations in a new, equally predatory system of global financial governance.” +

Houk was Director of the Center for Environmental Health at the [[Centers for Disease Control]], and also as the [[Assistant Surgeon General]] under both presidents [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]] and [[George H.W. Bush]]. Although Houk lived in [[Atlanta]]...he was fond of holing up D.C. hotels with multiple bottles of booze and several escorts over the course of a weekend, and [likely CIA operative] Tony was also fully cognizant of the eminent doctor's bacchanal laced sprees. In the [[1980s]], Congress tasked Houk with overseeing a study on the toxic effects of Agent Orange on [[Vietnam War|Vietnam veterans]], who had been subjected to the [[carcinogenic]] chemical en masse. Houk, however, declared that the soldiers' records made it impossible to discern the extent of Vietnam veterans who were subjected to Agent Orange, and he put the kibosh on the study. But a former chief of Naval Operations, who was the Navy's top commander in Vietnam, told a House subcommittee that Houk "made it his mission to manipulate and prevent the true facts from being determined" in his quest to cover up the true carnage spawned by Agent Orange. If Houk had proceeded with the Agent Orange study, [[the Pentagon]] undoubtedly would've been liable for astronomical, [[class action lawsuits]].” +

He did not have talking points and he took notes himself. He also is somebody I have to describe this because, they actually did kind of a jazz concert for President Clinton and President Clinton's driving around and Putin was sitting there like this..no rhythm whatsoever.. and and (sic), but the thing that is interesting is how smart he really is and directed he was. The thing that I speak to more is something that happened before, that in 91 when the Soviet Union had fallen apart I was running a think-tank and I was asked to participate in a big survey of all of Europe after the end of the Cold War, and we had questionnaires and focus groups and things like that, and the focus group I'll never forget, is one outside of Moscow where this man stands up and says "I'm so embarrassed we used to be a superpower and now we're Bangladesh with missiles". And what I think happened I write it not so easy not so difficult to really deduce this, is Putin identified himself with that person who felt that the dignity and the grandeur of [[Russia]] had been lost and he has is bound and determined to restore that in every single way.” +

Sam Altman +

“Both publicly and internally, leaders at Microsoft are cheering OpenAI's apparent return to normalcy following days of chaos. The ChatGPT creator, in which Microsoft has reportedly invested some $13 billion, has been on a roller-coaster ride that began Friday when its board abruptly fired Sam Altman as CEO and ended with his return and the appointment of a new board early Wednesday. Following Altman's ouster, Microsoft swooped in to hire him along with OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman — who quit OpenAI in protest over Altman's termination — to lead a new advanced AI research team at Microsoft, and also offered to hire any other OpenAI employees who wanted to leave. Sam Altman is returning to OpenAI as CEO after his ousting last week, and three board members that participated in his termination have been removed. At that point, Microsoft, already majority owner in OpenAI, was positioned to essentially "acquire" OpenAI by absorbing its talent, after nearly all the startup's 770 or so workers signed a letter saying they would take Microsoft up on the offer unless Altman was reinstated. However, a deal was ultimately reached for Altman to return to OpenAI rather than allowing the $90 billion company to collapse, in what Fortune tech reporter David Meyer wrote is an outcome that "is pretty ideal for Microsoft."” +

Most American fascists are enthusiastically supporting the war effort. They are doing this even in those cases where they hope to have profitable connections with German chemical firms after the war ends. They are patriotic in time of war because it is to their interest to be so, but in time of peace they follow power and the dollar wherever they may lead.” +

He fought, victoriously, as a gladiator in the arena in fixed bouts. Power for Commodus, as it is for Trump, was primarily about catering to his bottomless narcissism, hedonism and lust for wealth.

Answering Russia's Strategic Narratives +

“Russia’s disinformation campaigns have enabled the [[Kremlin]] to sow divisions in Europe’s societies. Countering these actions requires the development of effective, multi-layered strategies, tactics and capabilities. HCSS organizes a conference on 22 June 2017 to bring together and expand upon a network of stakeholders involved in countering Russian societal interference in European countries. Through the exchange of governmental responses used at the military and foreign policy level, and the experiences of societal bottom-up initiatives and [[fact-checking]] collaborative initiatives, we can begin to build an increasingly coherent response to [[Russia]]’s strategic narratives. The explicit goal is to foster a self-sustaining network that can act as a dissemination point in countering [[Russian disinformation]] and other kinds of malign interference. Through the stimulation of debate, participants will produce a concise overview that will take stock of best practices and perspectives for action.” +

Apollo program +

“In a period spanning from 1968 to 1972, NASA claims to have landed 6 manned-missions on Earth's closest celestial object, the Moon. Due to irremediable safety hazards with even 21st century technology such a mission would be impossible without casualties to all crew members due to the solar wind which lies outside of Earth's magnetic field. The solar wind and by extension the Van Allen belts formed by the Earth's magnetic field lines are full of high speed energised particles including electrons, protons and neutrons and is analogous to a particle accelerator. Anatoli Bugorsky is the only known person to stand in the way of a particle accelerator and had a hole vaporised through the side of his head which destroyed his brain tissue and paralysed the left half of his face. Miraculously he survived and is proof of the danger of fast moving, high energy subatomic particles. Given this is a very precise beam and in space these kinds of particles would be flying in all directions at all times one could not hope to pass beyond the Van Allen belts and survive. Because such particles are ionised they pass freely through matter, even lead shielding. The distance of Earth's 40,000 miles of electromagnetic shielding is only just enough to protect Earth from the harmful solar winds and Space Shuttle pilots who traveled to an altitude of 600KM began noticing intense effects of these ionised particles which presented itself as flickers in their retinas. This is known as 'astronauts eye' and is the result of energised particles exciting the nerve endings at the back of the eye. The Space Shuttle crew immediately lowered their orbit as it was feared prolonged exposure to this radiation, or traversing any further into the radiation could have dire consequences for the crew. In 2016 the Orion space probe was sent into the Van Allen belts to gather radiation data for future space flight missions. When film-maker Bart Sibrel contacted NASA for the information from this mission they refused to release citing that it was classified. Bart Sibrel rebuked this as ridiculous, stating that "the temperature of the Sun or the composition of Jupiter's atmosphere are not classified but the radiation in Earth's magnetic field is?", and recieved no further comment from NASA. In many scientific circles this irrevocable problem facing space flight is known as the 'cosmic showstopper' and without solving it no manned-spaceflight mission beyond the Earth's magnetic field where the crew survives will ever occur. It is believed scientists at the time of the Apollo program realised this hard and fast fact and so early on decided along with the CIA that the manned-missions to the Moon would never happen and would simply be faked, so as not to embarrass themselves and disappoint the entire American public. The Moon landing hoax is one of the greatest, most widespread and longest lasting hoaxes perpetrated on the American public in recent history and if unveiled in massive scale would have dire complications for the continuation of NASA, the CIA and the American deep state. A masterclass in film-making The Apollo Lunar Landings were faked using a variety of film-making methods which were perhaps no better showcased than by Stanley Kubrick in his movie 2001 a Space Odyssey. These methods included but are not limited to: * Rear screen projection * Scaled miniatures * Remote control vehicles * Stop motion animation * To-scale indoor sets * Artificial lighting * Exact recreations of the Lunar surface created according to photos by the Lunar Reconnaissance orbiter The 'talk' video Perhaps the most damning evidence to fakery of the Apollo missions is a video sent to Bart Sibrel by NASA employees when he was making his film 'A funny thing happened on the way to the Moon'. They assumed he was looking for evidence of the moon landing missions being faked and did not know it existed up until he received it. He was flabbergasted when witnessing the footage for the first time and it was exactly when he realised the moon landing hoax was not a a possibility but a certainty. In it the crew of the Apollo 11 mission are speaking to NASA as if they are half way to the moon. At the start of the video is a message saying 'Not for the public'. Because the distance is so great the time for a radio signal to travel from the Earth to the Apollo module and back again would take over 4 seconds. If the crew responded more quickly than this it would call into question their real location. The damning and incriminating evidence comes in this video when a third party is heard over the intercom. The voice comes after a 2 second delay after NASA speaks to Apollo 11 and simply says one word 'talk'. This third party is an entirely different voice to the one coming from NASA, and is obviously the CIA, ensuring the Apollo 11 do not respond too quickly, waiting for proper amount of time to elapse. This voice is in a separate channel to the one between Apollo and NASA and is not heard in any of the official video or on the live broadcast. In this same video the Apollo 11 is faking a shot of the Earth with a circular port hole window. Instead of being half way to the moon the Apollo 11 module is simply circling the Earth in low Earth orbit. The view of the Earth at this distance would fill up ones entire periphery. By turning off the lights and using a circular cut out of a piece of cardboard to simulated Earth's meridian line (where day becomes night) they can create a reasonably convincing image of the Earth upon a blacked-out starless sky. They repeat this again with the camera at the back of the craft before removing the objects blocking the light in the two other module windows revealing that the whole scene was indeed being shot with the camera in the middle and back of the craft instead of being pressed against the window like Neil Armstrong states and how it would had to have been had they were really filming the Earth half-way to the moon. Fooling Houston For the CIA to pull off the Apollo moon landing hoaxes, as few as possible people would have to have been in the know of the real plan. This included the astronauts, the film crew and a limited number of CIA personnel themselves. This meant that they would have to fake every possible part of the mission that they could not achieve and complete every part that they could in reality. The Saturn V rocket (which in actuality was a modified Saturn 1B) did go up and did take three astronauts for the Apollo 11 mission for all the world to see. At this point the Apollo module separated from the Saturn V and begun its 7 day orbit around the Earth. Here the Apollo 11 crew and all previous and subsequent crews would fake radio comms and footage of the Earth. The location of the Apollo module was simulated with a satellite which was already previously orbiting the Moon. The CIA and Apollo crew broadcasted all of their communications to this satellite which then relayed them back to Earth. Certain staff of the Australian satellite dish at Honeysuckle creek were not convinced that the signals were really coming from the Moon and in fact filed complaints that they were being duped. Houston themselves were presented with flight data that was produced by computer simulation and staff there admit they could not tell the difference between a training simulation and the real thing. 'Reflectors' Many of those who fall for the moon landing hoax present the idea of reflectors being present on the lunar surface which reflect a laser light back to Earth as proof of the moon landings. One only needs to look at the Moon at night to realise that it has a highly-reflective surface on its own. The Grand Prix video The other was the lunar rover which is 1/8 model RV and 1/8 model astronaut shot in a studio slowed down with rear screen projection. The reason a 1/8 model was used was for both costs and because the Moon's gravity is 1/6th of the Earth's and would shoot the lunar regolith much higher and in a 'rooster-tail' like fashion which is achieved simply with a smaller vehicle. The colour of the Moon Contrary to popular belief the Moon is not grey but actually slightly brown. And the true colour of the soil is a caramel colour as opposed to a bluish grey as seen in the Apollo photos. One can observe the colour of the Moon by desaturating a colour photograph of it and noticing the contrast before and after. This is not due to the atmosphere of Earth as the different Lunar minerals have different colours and the colours range from greyish brown, to brown, red, purple and even green. Astronauts on wires Astronauts were attached to harnesses with wires for the live television broadcast on the same cranes. Astronauts can be observed spinning on the spot and levitating on the ground with no other object holding them up. Micro-meteorites and the radioactive Lunar surface Werner von Braun stated that the possibility of surviving on the Lunar surface was next to zero for the astronauts and even if they overcome all other challenges would have to hide in caves on the moon to protect themselves from micro-meteorites, which due to the Moon having no atmosphere or magnetic field would be travelling at extremely high speeds and pierce through the astronaut's space suits and immediately depressurise them, being instantly fatal. The Lunar surface is also extremely radioactive, comparable to Chernobyl's elephants foot, due to billions of years of unshielded exposure to the cosmic and solar radiation of space. NASA astronauts admission Three astronauts including Dr. Kelly Smith talking about the Orion Mission and Col. Terry Virts amd Dr. Kathleen Rubin have talked on one occasion or another about going to the Moon and beyond low Earth orbit in a future tense. "We must solve these challenges (the radiation) before we send humans through this region of space (the Van Allen belts)." -Dr. Kelly Smith "To destinations beyond low-Earth orbit. Right now we can't go beyond low Earth orbit. That's the furthest we can go right now." -Col. Terry Virts "This is really the beginning of human beings leaving low-Earth-orbit." -Dr. Kathleen Rubin China 2020 landing China landed an unmanned lunar roving module and erected a chinese flag in 2020. This is the first national flag that has ever been placed on an extra-terrestrial object. In the photo of the flag you can clearly see the brown lunar surface as opposed to the grey-blue one in the Apollo missions.”

“[[Corporate media|The media]] talk glibly of "arms dealers" as if private individuals and companies conduct business secretly and illegally. This is total nonsense. There are [[arms manufacturers]] and some middlemen or sales companies which are closely monitored by government. Occasionally there is news of some scandal which invariably involves some middleman or company disowned by his or its particular sponsor government due to embarrassment over policies and sales becoming public knowledge. It is true, however, that sometimes even elected Ministers do not know what is going on as the deals and policies are made by unelected unaccountable senior civil servants and intelligence and security officers. A typical case is the £2bn [[Pergau Dam]] related [[Malaysia]]n defence deal. [[Secrecy]] is the road to [[corruption]] and the two are never far apart.” +

Arms for Libya +

“[[Libya]] is the principal sponsor of terrorism. It finances terrorist acts, it trains terrorist groups, it supplies [[arms]], [[ammunition]], [[passports]] and other documents to terrorists, and it uses its [[embassies]], so-called peoples' bureaus, as weapons store-houses and sanctuaries for terrorists. Recently, Libya has been escalating its involvement in [[terrorism]].” +

Article 19 +

“Freedom of expression is the fundamental human right that enables us all to demand the highest attainable standard of health. Unlike any other year in recent history, 2020 has driven home just how vital access to accurate, reliable and timely information is, and continues to be, during a global health crisis. When faced with such crises, governments have a fundamental duty to be transparent about their decisions, and a legal obligation to protect people’s lives. This means ensuring that health-care professionals have access to accurate global information about the disease, educating the public about the pandemic, and ensuring that health data is accessible to everyone – no exceptions. The Global Expression Report for 2021 reveals that rather than focusing on controlling the virus, protecting public health and improving access to information, governments have used the pandemic as an excuse to: Suppress critical information Implement states of emergency without proper limits Place unreasonable and unnecessary restrictions on the media And by presenting a false choice between human rights and public health, governments have used a cunning tactic to shut down public discussion and any scrutiny of their decisions. In other words, they have wasted public money and valuable time using the pandemic to entrench their power. As a result, these actions have prolonged the pandemic and cost lives.” +

“Posts continue to circulate online falsely claiming that [[COVID-19]] survivors don’t need [[vaccines]] because of [[natural immunity]]. In fact, that protection is variable and not long-lasting, so vaccines are still recommended.” +

Astroturfing +

“At some point, I realised something that I at first found to be a coincidence, then amusing, then slightly uncomfortable, and later on worrying. No matter where I worked, whether [[NGO]], consultant, or international organisation, I was paid by one global health donor...I'm not saying that there is no independence in the global health sector...What I’m saying is that my own experience was that I realised at some point (naively, and very late) that I was not one of these people. If there’s one thing I’d like to tell my 20-year old self, it’s this: ask who pays for your job. And then keep your eye on this throughout your career. At least be aware of this. Twenty years later, I’m tired of being an astroturfer. I’m tired of calling myself an independent consultant or claim that I’m working for an independent NGO or organisation when I now know that’s neither true, and increasingly also not the direction I think global health should take.” +

Jacques Attali +

“The real bourgeoisie running the world is about 1,000 people. They are running capitalism." He reconsiders: "Well, one might say it's 10,000, but no more than that. In a world population of 6.5 billion, that is not very many people” +

Jacques Attali +

“A major [[pandemic]] would raise awareness of the need for altruism, at least self-interested. History teaches us that humanity only evolves significantly when it is truly afraid: then it first sets up defense mechanisms; sometimes intolerable (scapegoats and totalitarianisms); sometimes futile (distraction); sometimes effective (therapeutic, if necessary setting aside all previous moral principles). Then, once the crisis has passed, it transforms these mechanisms to make them compatible with individual freedom and to include them in a democratic health policy. The beginning of the [[pandemic]] could trigger one of these structuring fears.” +

“We now know the disasters that continue to inflict the natural world have one element that connects them all… The unprecedented increase in the number of humans beings on the planet...It needs actions by governments. In my view, all countries should develop a population policy” +

“For the past 20 years I've never had any doubt that the source of the Earth's ills is [[overpopulation]]. I can't go on saying this sort of thing and then fail to put my head above the parapet..” +

“All our environmental problems become easier to solve with fewer people and harder - and ultimately impossible to solve - with ever more people.” +

Attorney General for England and Wales +

“I have no doubt that the fundamental source of all our problems, particularly our environmental problems, is population growth. I can’t think of a single problem that would be easier to solve if there were less people” +

“It’s not unusual for the attorney general to intervene in cases in order to represent the public interest. He has sought to intervene in this case because it raises important issues about the scope of the criminal law.” +

Australia +

“We should understand, Australia is part of the United States. It is part of this English-speaking empire, the center of gravity of which is the [[United States]], the second center of which is the [[United Kingdom]]”...“[[Australia]] is a suburb in that arrangement. Our capital is Washington. The capital of Australia is DC. That’s the reality...That’s where the decisions are made.” +

Australia/1975 coup d'état +

“There were a number of points of tension between Whitlam's government and the United States intelligence apparatus. Whitlam had close ties with the United States, in [[1964]] receiving a "Leader" travel grant from the [[U.S. Department of State]] to spend three months studying under U.S. government and military officials. After coming to power, Whitlam quickly removed the last Australian troops from [[Vietnam]]. Whitlam government ministers criticised the US bombing of [[North Vietnam]] at the end of [[1972]]. The US complained diplomatically about the criticism. In March [[1973]], US secretary of State [[William Rogers]] told [[Richard Nixon]] that "the leftists [within the Labor Party would] try to throw overboard all military alliances and eject our highly classified US defence space installations from Australia". In 1973, Whitlam ordered the Australian security organisation [[ASIS]] to close its operation in [[Chile]], where it was working as a proxy for the CIA in opposition to Chile's president [[Salvador Allende]]. Whitlam's Attorney-General Lionel Murphy used the Australian Federal Police to conduct a raid on the headquarters of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) in March [[1973]]. CIA Chief of Counter-Intelligence, [[James Angleton]], later said Murphy had "barged in and tried to destroy the delicate mechanism of internal security". Australian journalist Brian Toohey said that Angleton considered then Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam a "serious threat" to the US and was concerned after the 1973 raid on ASIO headquarters. In 1974, Angleton sought to instigate the removal of Whitlam from office by having CIA station chief in Canberra, John Walker, ask the director general of ASIO, Peter Barbour, to make a false declaration that Whitlam had lied about the raid in Parliament. Barbour refused to make the statement. In 1974, Whitlam ordered the head of ASIO, Peter Barbour, to sever all ties with the CIA. Barbour ignored Whitlam's order and contact between Australian and US security agencies was driven underground. Whitlam later established a royal commission into intelligence and security. Jim Cairns became Deputy Prime Minister after the [[1974]] election. He was viewed by US secretary of state [[Henry Kissinger]] and defence secretary [[James Schlesinger]] as "a radical with strong anti-American and pro-Chinese sympathies". The US administration was concerned that he would have access to classified United States intelligence. Whitlam instantly dismissed ASIS chief WT Robinson in 1975 after discovering ASIS had assisted the Timorese Democratic Union in an attempted coup against the [[Portuguese]] administration in Timor, without informing Whitlam's government. Whitlam threatened to reveal the identities of CIA agents working in Australia. He also threatened not to renew the lease of the US [[spy]] base at Pine Gap, which was due to expire on 10 December [[1975]]. The US was also concerned about Whitlam's intentions towards its spy base at Nurrungar.”

Australia/Minister/Foreign Affairs +

“Nobody who is not part of those discussions and is not part of the decision-making process can ever know - and frankly nor should they know - the detail and the depth of the considerations that governments go into. These have to be done in a confidential way.” +

Australian Broadcasting Corporation +

“The Australian Broadcasting Corporation shamed the [[BBC]] by putting out a ''Four Corners'' documentary on [[the Panama leak]] that had real balls. In stark contrast to the BBC, the Australians named and shamed Australia’s biggest company and Australia’s biggest foreign investor. ''[[BBC Panorama]]'' by contrast found a guy who sold one house in Islington. The Australians also, unlike the BBC who deliberately and knowing hid it, pointed out that the [[corruption]] centred on the [[British Virgin Islands]], and even went there. All in all an excellent job.” +

Australian Strategic Policy Institute +

“ASPI has played a leading role – some would say, the leading role – in driving Australia’s mendacious and self-destructive and often absurd China-bashing campaign. The current Coalition government, perhaps the most right-wing and incompetent in Australia’s recent history, has relied upon the ASPI to disseminate Washington’s desperate strategic policies, into which much of the Australian political class, along with its intelligence and military structures, has been integrated.”” +

Autism +

“Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) rates around the world are skyrocketing for unknown reasons. Parents have fingered [[vaccines]] but studies have failed to confirm a link. Concurrently, [[aluminum]], from vaccine adjuvants, has been found actively transported to the brains of animals inciting inflammation. Fluoride has been implicated in children’s brain dysfunction, and, fluoride has been shown to potentiate aluminum toxicity. No vaccine study to date has controlled for a practice widespread around the world – [[water fluoridation]]. Autism is more prevalent in United States cities that fluoridate their water supplies, and less prevalent in rural non-fluoridated areas even with high vaccination rates.” +

“In 2014, when the volunteer squads were defending the country, many of their appeals were quite radical against the Russian Federation. They were volunteers and it was their personal point of view. The Azov battalion are not volunteers, but are part of the National Guard. They are the official army of our state. Those who wanted to engage in politics - they were engaged in politics. Those who decided to be in the AFU, they became part of the AFU,” +

“[[Ernst Zundel]] does not deserve the privilege of Canadian citizenship. Not only would this be an affront to minority communities throughout Canada, but it would send a message to hatemongers the world over that Canada is a haven for racism.” +

BBC +

“The BBC began in 1922, just before the corporate press began in America. Its founder was Lord [[John Reith]], who believed that impartiality and objectivity were the essence of professionalism. In the same year the British establishment was under siege. The unions had called a general strike and the Tories were terrified that a revolution was on the way. The new BBC came to their rescue. In high secrecy, Lord Reith wrote anti-union speeches for the [[Tory]] [[Prime Minister]] [[Stanley Baldwin]] and broadcast them to the nation, while refusing to allow the labor leaders to put their side until the strike was over. So, a pattern was set. Impartiality was a principle certainly: a principle to be suspended whenever the [[establishment]] was under threat. And that principle has been upheld ever since.” +

BBC/Terrorism reporting +

“We must report acts of terror quickly, accurately, fully and responsibly. Our credibility is undermined by the careless use of words which carry emotional or value judgements. The word "terrorist" itself can be a barrier rather than an aid to understanding. We should try to avoid the term, without attribution. We should let other people characterise while we report the facts as we know them.We should not adopt other people's language as our own. It is also usually inappropriate to use words like "liberate", "court martial" or "execute" in the absence of a clear judicial process. We should convey to our audience the full consequences of the act by describing what happened. We should use words which specifically describe the perpetrator such as "bomber", "attacker", "gunman", "kidnapper", "insurgent, and "militant". Our responsibility is to remain objective and report in ways that enable our audiences to make their own assessments about who is doing what to whom.” +

Bail +

“According to the Prison Policy Initiative, less than 25 percent of people held in local jails right now have actually been convicted of a crime. By their reporting, over 460,000 "presumed innocent" people are in jail on any given day. Like so many other aspects of the criminal justice system, cash bail punishes minorities and the poor far more harshly. In 2015, 18-year-old Allen Bullock smashed a traffic cone into a cop car at a Baltimore protest after Freddie Gray died while in Baltimore police custody. When he turned himself in afterward, a judge set his bail at $500,000, double the amount for some of the officers who were being charged for Gray's death. In San Francisco, Kenneth Humphrey spent a year in jail awaiting trial after his bail was set at $350,000 for allegedly stealing $5 and a bottle of cologne in 2017.” +

“The economic lifeline of the industrial world runs from the gulf, and we can not permit a dictator such as this to sit astride that economic lifeline," [...] To bring it down to the level of the American citizen, let me say that means jobs. If you want to sum it up in one word, it's 'jobs'. Because an economic recession worldwide, caused by the control by one nation - one dictator if you will- of the West's economic lifeline, will result in the loss of jobs for American citizens.” +

“Of course, even if we ever determine that Volkert van der Graaf was an agent, wittingly or unwittingly, of a "liberal [[CIA]]", that does not mean that the Fortuyn case is automatically closed. In this article plenty of evidence has been presented that indicates Fortuyn and close allies as Theo van Gogh, Oscar Hammerstein, Gerard Spong and Tomas Ross, like Volkert van der Graaf and "liberal CIA" [[NGO]] network and Friends of the Earth, are part of a parallel security state-controlled network of (neo)conservatives and related right-wingers, which we could well term "conservative CIA". At a higher level, this (neo)conservative network actually got its way with the [[2004]] murder of Theo van Gogh by an Islamic radical.” +

“The entity I envision would be small, highly networked, and generally visible. It would be open to information from all available sources and would classify only information that arrived classified. It would rely heavily on the Internet, public media, the academic press, and an informal worldwide network of volunteers--a kind of global [[Neighborhood Watch]]--that would submit on-the-ground reports. It would use off-the-shelf technology, and use it less for gathering data than for collating and communicating them. Being off-the-shelf, it could deploy tools while they were still state-of-the-art. I imagine this entity staffed initially with [[librarians]], [[journalists]], [[linguists]], [[scientists]], [[technologists]], [[philosophers]], [[sociologists]], cultural historians, [[theologians]], [[economists]], philosophers, and artists-a lot like the original [[CIA]], the [[OSS]], under [["Wild Bill" Donovan]]. Its budget would be under the direct authority of the President, acting through the National Security Adviser. Congressional oversight would reside in the committees on science and technology (and not under the congressional [[Joint Committee on Intelligence]]).” +

He wore a blue, pinstripe suit, white shirt and a red tie. A miniature U.S. flag was pinned on his lapel. Spence introduced the man to me by name and also disclosed his title. He was in the administration of [[George H.W. Bush]]. I feel that [[George H. W. Bush/Presidency|the Bush administration]] had decided to pull out a big gun to eradicate any traces of Gregg's affinity for gay escorts, because Gregg had been so instrumental in [[Iran Contra]] and because he was en route to becoming the [[United States Ambassador to South Korea]]. Spence had dropped the name name of the cabinet member months earlier, when he revealed that he routinely provided him with adolescent boys.” +

“Thank you, Mr. President. The [European] Commission have recently replied to my written question confirming that Commissioners [Joaquin] Almunia and [Neelie] Kroes attended [[Bilderberg/2011|the Bilderberg meeting in St. Moritz in June]]. The Commission cannot tell me details of what was discussed, but that surely the [[Bilderberg meetings]] do not take decisions. If [[Bilderberg meetings]] are just talking shops, why do the most powerful figures from around the world, including [[George Osborne]], the [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]], bother to attend? What other summit of world leaders in politics, finance and business would go completely unreported in the [[mainstream media]] such as the [[BBC]]? It’s impossible not to reach the conclusion that the non-reporting of these events is anything other than a conspiracy between the [Bilderberg] organisers and the media. It merely confirms the belief of many that the hidden agenda and purpose of the [[Bilderberg Group]] is to bring about undemocratic world government. It’s a disgrace that the [[European Commission]] is colluding in that.” +

“The gargantuan apparatus of mind bending and controlling is being put into hyper drive by the ruling elite. We are inundated with [[propaganda]] that challenges our sense of reality but only after being “tenderized” by the fear factor. Fear of “[[terror]]”, fear of [[war]], fear of financial insecurity, fear of gun violence, fear of our own shadow. Once we are suitably quaking in our boots, in comes the rendition of reality that relieves our anxiety. If we challenge this version of events we are labelled a [[conspiracy theorist]], a threat to [[security]]. We are hounded, [[discredited]], slandered and ridiculed. We are isolated and threatened.” +

Leopold II of Belgium +

“In April 1885,only six weeks after [[Berlin Conference|his diplomatic triumph at Berlin]], the king was named in a British courtroom as one of the clients of a high-class "disorderly house" prosecuted at the urging of the [[London Committee for the Suppression of the Continental Traffic in English Girls]]. Leopold had paid £800 a month, a former servant of the house testified, for a steady supply of young women, some of whom were ten to fifteen years old and guaranteed to be virgins. A [[Paris]] newspaper reported rumors that Leopold had secretly crossed to England in his [[yacht]] and paid a royal sum to the house’s madam to be sure his name was not mentioned again. More likely, what made the case close with unusual speed was that the [[Edward VII|Prince of Wales]] was said to be another of the establishment’s customers. The British home secretary sent a special observer to the court, apparently a veiled message to all concerned that the less said, the better. After pleading guilty, the madam of the house got off with a remarkably light fine.” +

“Scheduled Air Transportation is one of the main targets of national and international terrorist organizations. Since safety and security are the bases of the very existence of scheduled aviation as a worldwide international air transport system, it is only natural that [[International Air Transport Association]] (IATA), the association of scheduled airlines, has been and is presently in the forefront of initiating, coordinating and executing actions on an international basis in the field of airline security, with a view to safeguarding the very existence of its members — individually as well as a group. The regrettable fact is that despite IATA’s efforts air [[terrorism]] continues to develop both in scope, viciousness and intensity. Furthermore, it is increasing its technical sophistication through cooperation between various terrorist and anarchistic organizations on an international scale.” +

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country... In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons... who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.” +

“The program we designed [the Ford Foundation International Fellowship Program], which we're funding to the tune of $300 million — the largest single grant in the history of the foundation — is just wrapping up its first year. Over the next ten years, it will support about thirty-five hundered people around the world for up to three years of graduate study. And we hope they will not only take advantage of this opportunity — paid in full, anywhere in the world — but that they will return to their home countries and begin to function effectively as leaders. Eventually, we think that out of this group will emerge some extraordinary world leaders — at least we hope so. We do need to be thinking consciously about where the next generation of world leaders is going to come from.” +

There is no people who study better than them, but they have learned and implemented evil. And that's why Israel is now living hell.” +

“But there's a big difference between mistakes and malevolence. The record of the [[Waco massacre|Waco incident]] documents mistakes, mistakes in gathering intelligence; mistakes in planning and executing operational plans. And law enforcement should and must be held accountable for such mistakes. What the record from Waco does not evidence, however, is any improper motive or intent on the part of law enforcement. I believe this is a very important point to make to the American public, because there are a growing number of people across the country who are seizing on the incident at Waco, as well as [[Ruby Ridge]], to suggest that law enforcement is our enemy...[...]..[[David Koresh]] and the Davidians set fire to themselves and committed [[suicide]].” +

“Biden gives zero indications he has the ability to guide our country through this right now, that's a Full Stop moment. Listen in case anyone doubts me remember when his cue cards got caught on camera? That gave the exact instructions where to go and where to sit. Let me just say before I go on, that's not unusual, I'm not knocking him. I work these details as a secret service agent, they tell the president exactly what to do. This cue card thing is the problem, they tell him what to do and he still doesn't know what to do. That's the problem. His incompetence inspires no confidence at all the world can see this. I'm not sure America can withstand two more years of this leadership or whatever you want to call what he's doing right now.” +

We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate," Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the [[Middle East]] and [[Russia]] as possibilities. And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him - we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right.” +

“Our allies in the region were our largest problem in Syria. The Turks were great friends, and I have a great relationship with Erdogan, [who] I just spent a lot of time with, [and] the Saudis, the Emirates, etcetera. What were they doing? They were so determined to take down Assad, and essentially have a proxy Sunni-Shia war, what did they do? They poured hundreds of millions of dollars and tens of tons of weapons into anyone who would fight against Assad – except that the people who were being supplied, [they] were al-Nusra, and al-Qaeda, and the extremist elements of jihadis who were coming from other parts of the world. Now, you think I'm exaggerating? Take a look. Where did all of this go? So now that's happening, all of a sudden, everybody is awakened because this outfit called ISIL, which was al-Qaeda in Iraq, when they were essentially thrown out of Iraq, found open space and territory in [eastern] Syria, [and they] work with al-Nusra, who we declared a terrorist group early on. And we could not convince our colleagues to stop supplying them. So what happened? Now, all of a sudden – I don't want to be too facetious – but they have seen the lord. Now we have ... been able to put together a coalition of our Sunni neighbors, because America can't once again go into a Muslim nation and be the aggressor. It has to be led by Sunnis. To go and attack a Sunni organization. And so what do we have for the first time? President Erdoğan told me, he is an old friend, said you were right, we let too many people through, now we are trying to seal the border.” +

“Some will think “Oh, they are protecting Biden — they don’t want the public to see how he acts.” Who knows? I just know that what he is doing is wrong and signifies a crude, animalistic expression of male dominance. He is seeing how far he can go without being stopped. How far can he dominate these Senators? Watching the whole 12 minutes of these swearing-in ceremonies where you can see Biden “doing his thing” and the reactions of family members was difficult, but very instructive. By the end I thought, “These people won’t even lift a finger to stop him from touching their own innocent children. Why in the hell would anyone think they’d lift a finger to do a thing to help a stranger? Or strangers?” +

“I hate to say that big oil is bigger than the United States Government; but its favored treatment at the hands of our government certainly leads to that conclusion.” +

Big Tech +

“So one of the things that these five companies have done kind of masterfully is create these platforms that startups have to use to get to customers. So they all own these cloud-storage services. So Amazon is an example. If you want to store your media online - so, for example, all the movies that you watch on Netflix are actually stored on Amazon servers - so every time you use Netflix, Netflix is kind of paying Amazon for that kind of storage. Yeah. It's surprising, first of all, because they're such different companies. You wouldn't really know - you wouldn't really think that they would have that kind of connection. And then they're also competitors. Netflix makes original TV shows and so does Amazon. And so, you know, in this way, Netflix has this dependence on one of its competitors. There are lots of different examples of this though. There - you know, all app makers have to put their apps in the Apple app store or the Google app store. And when they sell in those apps, 30 percent of that money goes to Apple or Google. They all have to advertise on Facebook or Google to get customers because that's become the way to advertise on digital platforms. And so any new app - Uber, Airbnb, Netflix, all the other sort of smaller companies online - have to go through these five to get to their customers. And what ends up happening is that other companies succeed, but always these five benefit off of that success.” +

Big chemical +

“It's the pesticide merchants and GMO companies....they are the real decision makers. They use lobbyist to shape national policy by almost buying politicians. It's this corruption that subverts the EPA. I am not a prophet, but I can see a very dark future if we fail to ban glyphosate and all other neurotoxins and carcinogens in or food and natural world.” +

Big chemical +

“We are convinced there are more than ample science to raise serious concerns over rising [[herbicide]] use and exposure, yet not nearly enough is being done to either dismiss such concerns or study them in a meaningful way. People think [[global warming]] is the biggest threat, but it's not. This is.” +

Big pharma +

“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the [[New England Journal of Medicine]].” +

Big pharma +

“Much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant [[conflicts of interest]], together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.” +

Bilderberg +

“When the time is ripe our present concepts of world affairs should be extended to the whole world.” +

Bilderberg +

“The Bilderberg Conference was prepared by a group of men of good-will from twelve Western European countries and from the United States of America. Its general purpose was to study the relationship between America and Western Europe in order, by means of a free and frank exchange of views, to lay the foundations for improving mutual understanding between Europeans and Americans on problems of common concern.” +

Bilderberg/1954 +

“Americans saw that firm Western action in [[1953 Iranian coup|Persia]], [[Berlin airlift|Berlin]], and [[Korean War|Korea]] had produced successful results and they therefore believed in continuing a firm policy.” +

Bilderberg/1954 +

“Finally, in view of the desire expressed by the majority of the participants in Bilderberg, and on the invitation of the American members, it was decided that a similar conference should be convened in the U.S.A., time and place to be decided upon later.” +

“One of the most blatant of these agencies, despite its adoption of a [[secret society]] technique, is the [[Bilderberg Group]], which seems to have been inspired by an important event. In the year [[1910 Jekyll Island meeting|1908]] (sic.), secret agents of the New York Money Power and their Washington fuglemen had themselves transported in the dead of night to [[Jekyll Island]] off the coast of [[Georgia (US State)|Georgia]]. As the result of their plotting there was created, four years later, the means whereby the [[Money Trust]] was enabled to seize control of the entire American economy through the mechanism of the [[Federal Reserve Board]]. In February 1957, a similarly hush-hush conference took place at St. Simons Island in the same region. A "summary" of the proceedings was entered by [[Senator Wiley]], champion of the Left-wing, in the appendix of the Congressional Record. It referred to "the preservation of peace" under the auspices of [[Nato]], which revealed nothing.” +

Bilderberg/1989 +

“The observed increase in global mean temperature has been neither monotonic with time nor uniform over the globe as has been the increase of greenhouse gases. This situation calls into question the validity of isolating the [[greenhouse effect]] as the only cause of the recent temperature increase. A second uncertainty stems from the knowledge that the Earth has gone through major perturbations in temperature and [[climate]] in the past and continues to go through seasonal and cyclical changes (Figures 8, 9). How much if any of the recent changes then are just part of a long term trend is not known.” +

Bilderberg/2017 +

“Bilderberg is concerned about [[fake news]]? The world’s most secretive conference, which is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars keeping the press away from its sacred discussions, which has spent decades lying and obfuscating about itself, wants to ensure the spread of [[truth]]?” +

“People act like they have a choice. You don't have a choice. Normalcy only returns when we've largely [[vaccinated]] the entire global population [against [[COVID-19]]].” +

“Already some employers are demanding that their employees have [[COVID-19/Vaccine|vaccines]]. Leading a normal working life as part of society will become impossible without proof you’ve had a vaccine. Government shouldn’t stand in the way of that — it should facilitate it. As our real [[passports]] already say on the first page, Covid passports will “allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance”. Bring them on.” +

“China has taken the strongest measures to contain the spread of the virus compared to the rest of the world, with a mixture of distinctive solutions, from the world’s most severe lockdown in Wuhan to the generalized use of digital tools. It has paid off.” +

“Scientists have achieved miracles with the [[COVID-19/Vaccines|vaccines]]. Now the world’s leaders have just to show elementary common sense. They must do “whatever it takes” to finance accelerated production and distribution of vaccines – and, if necessary, reformulated vaccines – globally. This is the only way for us to regain any sort of normality. Nothing should be allowed to get in the way. This is a global war and our species is not yet winning. That has to change, from tomorrow.” +

“It is by coming together on vaccine research, mass production and distribution, that we will deliver safe and fair access to vaccines to all that need it, leaving no one behind.” +

“COVID-19 does not respect borders. No country will be safe until the people of every country have access to the vaccine.” +

“There will be no recovery. There will be social unrest. There will be violence.” +

“[[COVID-19/Vaccine|These [COVID-19] vaccines]] are unlikely to completely [[sterilize]] a population. They're very likely to have an effect which works in a percentage. Say, 60% or 70%.” +

Bilderberg/Effect +

“[...] it's a military, political lobby. What they are doing is essentially, and they've been going ever since the 1950's remember, and I think they've now reached a stage were they do control all of our politicians really. So they make sure that there is no politician that is going to get into power in any of the NATO countries, or countries that are coming into NATO, that's not one of their puppets. And they've been extremely successful, Bilderberg, in doing that with their toxic mix of the biggest, most powerful banksters, corporations, royalty of course as well, the mass media people, the owners, not necessarily the day-to-day editors, people that actually own the media mostly are there. And what they are really doing is, they are just making sure that anybody that comes along as a potential leader, they're just checking them over -this person will do as we say- they are completely wedded to being controlled by money and blackmail -yes, they are able to speak- and it is a way of introducing them to the secret rulers of the western world if you want [...]” +

Bilderberg/Exposure +

“When Donald Trump refuses to take questions on a given subject, it’s an outrage. And rightly. Bilderberg gave its last press conference in the mid-1970s. They’ve been fighting the war on information for far too long. It’s time for them to lay down their arms, enter the 21st century, and start talking.” +

Andriy Biletsky +

“[...] since February, since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, it's been a battle, this entry of Biletsky has been rewritten, so to speak, to ultra-conservative, courageous special-operations warrior, who was always a prominent leader figure. That is the US compatible version of the neo-Nazi Biletsky, or the Nazi Biletsky and this error is in both the German Wikipedia, and the English Wikipedia. There they are not able to find it. You remember with other people they search through everything to find one single thing, they leave out 95 percent of the sources to find one that they can use to smash someone, and here they miss the worst things. These are two of the central pamphlets of Biletsky, two of his programmatic political writings that he wrote. A manifesto, so to speak, and that doesn't come up, instead he's white-washed.” +

“The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funded two models to “predict” the spread of COVID-19. The [[Imperial College London]] and the [[University of Washington]]’s [[Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation]] in Seattle predicted that 2.2-million Americans would die unless drastic lockdown measures were followed. Both colleges quickly reduced their predictions, but the world is still in lockdown as a result of it. In 2005, the Imperial College of London predicted that 200-million people worldwide would be killed by [[bird flu]]. When the “crisis’ was over, the virus had killed 78 people worldwide. In 2009, the College predicted that the [[swine flu]] would kill 65,000 people in the UK, but the final number was 457. From [[2006]] through [[2018]], the [[Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation|Gates Foundation]] donated $185-million to the College to continue their good work.” +

“When Melinda and I first started our giving, in the late 1990s, our focus was on reproductive health rather than childhood deaths. We felt that giving mothers the tools to limit their family size to what they wanted would have a catalytic effect by reducing population growth and making it easier to feed, educate, and provide jobs for the children who were born.” +

“my full-time work at the foundation is mostly about vaccines and [[GM|seeds]]” +

“[[Vaccines]] are a miracle — with just a few doses, they can prevent deadly diseases for a lifetime. We’ve made vaccines our number-one priority at the Gates Foundation because we’ve seen first hand their incredible impact on children’s lives.” +

BioNTech +

“A year ago today, not everyone was aware that we were going to live in a pandemic. But some already knew or suspected it; and that included Mr. Şahin, the head of BioNTech, who told me that on January 24 he made the decision to overturn the entire BioNTech research program and develop an mRNA vaccine for this virus.” +

Bioethics +

“When you start documenting the history of bioethics, you discover that this is exactly what this field of study is meant to do: To frame the debate about hot button issues so that eugenicist ideals and values can be mainstreamed in society and enacted in law. From [[abortion]] to [[euthanasia]], there isn’t a debate in the medical field that wasn’t preceded by some bioethicist or bioethics institute preparing the public for a massive change in mores, morays, values and laws.” +

Biological weapon +

“The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus features a so-called ''furin cleavage site'' (FCS), which makes the virus more infectious and virulent than it would otherwise be. Such an FCS is not known in any other SARS-like coronavirus, but it is often inserted as part of gain-of-function studies in virus research. However, similar FCS are known to occur in non-SARS-like coronaviruses, hence a natural origin cannot be excluded based on this. The furin cleavage site found in SARS-CoV-2 uses an arginine (amino acid) double codon, which is rather rare in natural coronaviruses, but quite common in engineered viruses used in lab experiments (...)” +

Black helicopter +

“More than seven years ago a group of Americans traveled to Siberia to buy a pair of Russian Mi-17 helicopters for the CIA's post-9/11 clandestine operations in Afghanistan. As with many "black" programs, the contract had elements of craziness: Contracting officials paid the multimillion-dollar contract on a credit card at a local El Paso bar and then used the credit card rebate to redecorate their office; the team traveled under the guise of being private contractors; and the charter crew transporting the group abandoned the team in Russia in the middle of the night. Ultimately, a five-year investigation into the mission led to the conviction of the Army official in charge and the contractor who bought the helicopters on charges of corruption. The two men, currently in federal prison, are appealing their convictions. At first glance, it's a simple case: A few days after returning from Russia, the contractor paid off the second mortgage of the Army official in charge of the mission. Prosecutors argued that the contractor, Maverick Aviation, was unprepared for the mission, and the Army official helped cover up the problems in exchange for a payoff. The defendants at trial were barred from mentioning the CIA, Afghanistan or even 9/11. In an article for The New York Post, this author looks at what really happened in Siberia based on over two dozen interviews with people involved in the mission and trial. It's a story, that in some respects, is very different than the portrait painted by the government at trial. One interesting comparison not mentioned in the article is worth noting in light of recent purchases of Russian helicopters: In 2001, Maverick Aviation was paid $5 million for two freshly overhauled Mi-17s and spare parts, as well as travel and logistics for team of Army/CIA personnel, and got the helicopters out of Russia in under 30 days. In 2008, ARINC, a major U.S. defense contractor, was paid $322 million dollars to buy 22 Russian helicopters under a U.S. foreign military sales contract. Guess how many helicopters ARINC has delivered to Iraq after 18 months? Zero.”

“They would have had to all three tie their hands and feet together, shove rags down their throats, put a mask over their face, made a noose, hung it from the ceiling on the side of the cellblock, jumped into the noose, and hung themselves simultaneously. In a cellblock where guards are ordered to check on detainees every four minutes. They had a policy that if a detainee is hunger-striking, he cannot be interrogated, I believe the number-one mission in JTF-GTMO (Joint Task Force Guantanamo) at the time was, stop the hunger strikes at all costs. I think you get rid of the people that provoked the hunger strikes and you get rid of the problem. After the deaths, there were no hunger strikes for a long period of time.” +

“A small group of people in Johnston County NC are investigating their state’s role in the CIA's torture and rendition program. Last fall, they had a series of public hearings on the subject and on May 7th they're planning to meet with their commissioners in an effort to compel their county's very conservative board of commissioners to issue a ban on the use of public resources for rendition or torture, and to publicly acknowledge what they found: that a CIA contractor called Aero operating out of the local county airport, handled some 80% of rendition flights between September 2001 and March 2004.” +

“The European Parliament denounces the lack of co-operation of many member states and of the Council of the European Union with the investigation; Regrets that European countries have been relinquishing control over their airspace and airports by turning a blind eye or admitting flights operated by the CIA which, on some occasions, were being used for illegal transportation of detainees; Calls for the closure of [the US military detention mission in] Guantanamo and for European countries immediately to seek the return of their citizens and residents who are being held illegally by the US authorities; Considers that all European countries should initiate independent investigations into all stopovers by civilian aircraft [hired by] the CIA; Urges that a ban or system of inspections be introduced for all CIA-operated aircraft known to have been involved in extraordinary rendition” +

“They always followed the same procedure. We were always told to keep away. The planes would stay at the end of the runway, often with their engines running. A couple of [[military]] vans from the nearby intelligence base would go up to them, stay a while and then drive off, out of the airport. "I saw several of these flights but never saw inside the vans because they had tinted windows and they never stopped at the terminal building” +

“The did not want to appoint any federal judges to the bench... if ... candidates didn't have enough skeletons.

So the judges rules per government instruction... They were ''all'' blackmailed. Blackmailed by whom? Blackmailed by the [[deep state]]... If you're squeaky clean and if you start running for a major position, the chances are you're not going to get there because you will be disqualified. They don't want you there.” +

Tony Blair +

“[[Thatcher]] deliberately and cruelly wrecked the social democratic society in which I grew up, with the aim of destroying any ability for [[working people]] to be protected against the whims of the wealthy. But Thatcher never introduced privatisation into the NHS or state schools – that was her acolyte [[Blair]]. She maintained free university education in England and Wales. That was destroyed by Blair too.” +

Richard Blee +

“Sources have told me that Blee has frequently been divisive and ineffective in previous positions.… His reputation and relationship with the military, especially the special-ops community, is very bad, based on substantive issues that arose during his time (in [[Afghanistan]] and [[Pakistan]]) post-9/11.… Another former official called Blee a ‘smart guy‘... but described him as a terrible manager.” +

Blockchain/Consensus +

“Similar to PoS, this trend of the largest being best-placed to receive the most rewards means that the network will trend towards an oligarchy inclined to collude, rather than compete. The largest actors will become richer and strengthen their position as delegates over time. As they earn more rewards, they will hold more tokens. As they hold more tokens, they will have a proportionally higher share of the vote. This means they will then be more likely to be elected, and the cycle repeats, consolidating supply in hands of a narrower and narrower minority.” +

“I don't think you'll ever be able to centrally organize the [[EU]] countries accepting [[refugees]] in equal amounts. [[Eastern-Europe]]ans would never agree to that. Even if we would force them, hands on their back and they'd say "yes", even then, walk a week through [[Warsaw]] or [[Prague]]. There are no colored people there. They would be gone within a week. They would be literally beaten up. They don't have a life there.” +

“All parties involved in the conflict are committing crimes. The Netherlands knows that the opposition is committing [[war crimes]]. We already wrote that starting in 2013. In fact [[Karel van Oostrom]] knew precisely what was written in the reports. He even knew all the details. The Dutch have enough people and info from intelligence agencies. And especially the Dutch and all the other EU countries, because they share all that info. They knew exactly what was happening. (...) Throughout investigation is needed. Not only the Dutch but other [[nation states]] supported the Syrian war. Therefore they could be complicit in committing war crimes.” +

Blowback +

“You want to know what this was really all about. The Nixon campaign in [[1968]], and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying. We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with [[marijuana]] and blacks with [[heroin]], and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their [[meetings]], and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the [[drugs]]? Of course we did.” +

Max Blumenthal +

“The [[White Helmets]] are known around the world for rescuing civilians in [[Syria]]. But the recent death of its founder, [[James Le Mesurier]], and an unfolding cover-up at the [[OPCW]] of an [[Douma attack|apparently staged chemical weapons incident]], has shed new light on the group’s shadowy role in the Syria proxy war. We speak to ''[[The Grayzone]]''’s Max Blumenthal, whose reporting has exposed the [[White Helmets]]’ ties to jihadists groups and its use as a PR tool for Western military intervention in Syria. Blumenthal explains that the [[White Helmets]] group (originally known as ARK<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a>) was founded and trained in [[Turkey]] and financed by [[UK]], [[US]], [[Qatar]] and [[Saudi Arabia]]. In Operation [[Timber Sycamore]], and in conjunction with [[Al-Qaeda]] and [[ISIS]], the [[White Helmets]] were tasked with carrying out regime change ("transition") in [[Syria]] and then occupying the country ("stabilisation"). Many slick videos of the work of the [[White Helmets]] were produced and in one they are described by British journalist [[John Cantlie]] as the [[Islamic State Fire Brigade]].” +

Yossef Bodansky +

“According to Yossef Bodansky, then Director of the US Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, Washington was actively involved in "yet another anti-Russian jihad, seeking to support and empower the most virulent anti-Western [[Islamist]] forces." Bodansky revealed the entire [[CIA]] Caucasus strategy in detail in his report, stating that US Government officials participated in "a formal meeting in [[Azerbaijan]] in December [[1999]] in which specific programs for the training and equipping of [[Mujahideen]] from the Caucasus, Central/South Asia and the Arab world were discussed and agreed upon, culminating in Washington's tacit encouragement of both Muslim allies (mainly [[Turkey]], [[Jordan]] and [[Saudi Arabia]]) and US "private security companies'. . . to assist the Chechens and their Islamist allies to surge in the spring of [[2000]] and sustain the ensuing [[Jihad]] for a long time…Islamist Jihad in the Caucasus as a way to deprive Russia of a viable [[pipeline]] route through spiraling violence and terrorism".” +

“Clearly Boeing and certain agencies have the capacity to take over ‘uninterruptible control’ of commercial airliners of which MH370 B777 is one.

“[[Edgar Hoover|[Edgar] Hoover]] lied his eyes out to the [Warren] Commission – on Oswald, on Ruby, on their friends, the bullets, the gun, you name it.” +

Hale Boggs +

“This is somewhat like the position the Warren Commission took when Richard Russell, Hale Boggs and John Sherman Cooper refused to sign the draft of the Warren Report until a qualifying statement was inserted. The statement read, ‘Because of the difficulty of proving negatives to a certainty the possibility of others being involved with either [[Oswald]] or [[Jack Ruby|Ruby]] cannot be established categorically but if there is any such evidence it has been beyond the reach of all the investigative agencies and resources of the United States and has not come to the attention of this Commission.’” +

Andrew Bogut +

“Whoever you are, why don’t we hear you speaking up? The silence is deafening. Let me give you the reason why: Last year, about three or four months into this pandemic, I got a message from somebody. I’m not going to name who it was or where it came from. I got offered money to put out a public service announcement for you everyday plebs to [[COVID-19/Lockdown|stay home]].” +

Bohemian Grove +

“A second and third priest then recall to memory deceased friends who loved the Bohemian Grove, and the high priest makes yet another effusive speech, the gist of it being that "Great Nature" is a "refuge for the weary heart" and a "balm for breasts that have been bruised." A brief song is sung by the chorus and suddenly the high priest proclaims: "Our funeral pyre awaits the corpse of Care!" A horn is sounded at the boat landing. Anon, the Ferry of Care, with its beautifully ornamented frontispiece, begins its brief passage to the foot of the shrine. Its trip is accompanied by the music of a barcarole—a barcarole being the song of Venetian gondoliers as they pole you through the canals of Venice. As one listens to the barcarole, it becomes even clearer that many little extra touches have been added by the Bohemians who have lovingly developed this ritual over its ninety four-year history. The bier arrives at the steps of the altar. The high priest inveighs against Dull Care, the archenemy of Beauty. He shouts, "Bring fire," and the torchbearers (eighteen strong) enter. Then the acolytes quickly seize the coffin, lift it high above their heads, and carry it triumphantly to the pyre in front of the mighty Owl. It seems that Care is about to be consumed by flames.” +

Bärbel Bohley +

“The constant denunciation will come back. The constant lying will come back. All these investigations, the in-depth research into the Stasi structures, the methods with which they worked and still work, all this will fall into the wrong hands. These structures will be studied in detail - and then they will be taken over. They will be adapted a little in the Federal Republic so that they fit in with a free Western society. They won't necessarily arrest the troublemakers either. There are more subtle ways of rendering someone useless. But the secret bans, the surveillance, the suspicion, the fear, the isolation and exclusion, the branding and muzzling of those who do not conform - that will come back, believe me. Institutions will be created that will work much more effectively, much more finely than the Stasi. The constant lying will also come back, the disinformation, the fog in which everything loses its contour.” +

John Bolton +

“Trump spoke with Xi Jinping by phone on June 18, ahead of 2019's Osaka G20 summit, when they would next meet. Trump began by telling Xi he missed him and then said that the most popular thing he had ever been involved with was making a trade deal with China, which would be a big plus politically. They agreed their economic teams could continue meeting. The G20 bilateral arrived, and during the usual media mayhem at the start, Trump said, "we've become friends. My trip to Beijing with my family was one of the most incredible of my life." With the press gone, Xi said this is the most important bilateral relationship in the world. He said that some (unnamed) political figures in the United States were making erroneous judgments by calling for a new cold war, this time between China and the United States. Whether Xi meant to finger the Democrats, or some of us sitting on the US side of the table, I don't know, but Trump immediately assumed Xi meant the Democrats. Trump said approvingly that there was great hostility among the Democrats. He then, stunningly, turned the conversation to the coming US presidential election, alluding to China's economic capability to affect the ongoing campaigns, pleading with Xi to ensure he'd win. He stressed the importance of farmers, and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome. I would print Trump's exact words, but the government's prepublication review process has decided otherwise.” +

“[...] what for others would have been discussions of weeks and weeks, for him was a decision of just a fraction of a minute. Of course, there was a change too, one can never say that a man is always the same person and Hitler changed a lot from 42 to 43. In 43 he was more and more convinced that doesn't need no more the advice of anybody and he made the decisions by himself without listening.” +

Screamingly apparent hypocrisy and venality. How you can on the one hand howl at the moon about all these other predators. And not at least look back. OK, let's say, well, it was all consensual: powerful men, starstruck women, okay fine, let's accept it at its most charitable interpretation. Fine. He is a very charming man, I met him, he's fucking magnetic. As is (Hillary). When you're in the room, you think wow, she's really warm and nice and funny.

“'''Frederick Kempe''': There was some fake news during this period of time about the vaccines, you know, all sorts of conspiracy theories. How did you deal with that and how did you navigate that and where do you feel the primary source of this sort of fake news was? How damaging was this to us? '''Albert Bourla''': I’m afraid it [caused] quite a lot of damage and particularly with us, we were targeted by a lot of, let’s say, dark organizations that you don’t really know [who owns them]. You suspect that there are some countries behind. We were getting a lot of briefings from [[CIA]], from [[FBI]], about cyberattacks that may happen to us, but also about the spread of misinformation. You know, there are two groups of people: There are the people that they are vaccinated. There are people that are skeptical about the vaccination, and both of them are afraid. Those that are getting the vaccine, they are afraid of the disease, and they believe that because people are not getting vaccinated, they are increasing the risk to them. They are increasing the exposure. So they are mad with them that they don’t get the vaccine. Those that don’t get the vaccine, they’re afraid of the vaccine and they are mad with the people that are pressing them to get it. Those I understand. They are very good people. They are decent people. But they had a fear, and I understand it, and they don’t want to take chances. But there is a very small part of professionals [who] circulate, on purpose, misinformation so that they will mislead those that they have concerns [with the vaccine]. Those people are criminals. They’re not bad people. They are criminals because they literally cost millions of lives.” +

“The dynamics in the COVID more and more indicate a potential that we will have a clearly repeated business… Now we still don’t have data about the immunity of our vaccine because it is early. But we do see that the people that have the disease, more and more publications indicate that after several months, the immune response goes down. So there is a need to boost.”” +

“There’s an immense amount of interest outside from people who would love to get inside, and change what Sage is saying, and that must never ever be allowed to happen. Otherwise, the trust in the whole process will just evaporate. I think it is not ideal. In an ideal world you’d have complete transparency, but it’s not an ideal world. There’s a lot of what I would call dark forces who are trying to undermine the validity of the way that science works and as a result of that [[Sage]] has to be conducted in a way that makes sure that they don’t have that opportunity. And it’s difficult, and I don’t think anybody who sits on Sage or [[chairs Sage]] really wants it that way. But on the other hand, there is no real option other than to do it that way.” +

“I have absolute proof from a Pentagon document that the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC) was doing bio-warfare work for the [[Pentagon]] in [[Sierra Leone]], the heart of the outbreak, as early as 1988. Why would they do that? As I suggested to try to circumvent the Biological Weapons Convention to which the US government is a party. So, always bio-warriors do use offensive and defensive bio-warfare work, violating the Biological Weapons Convention. So effectively they try to offshore it into [[West Africa]] where [[Liberia]] is not a party and [[Guinea]] is not a party. Sierra Leone is a party. But in Sierra Leone and [[Liberia]] there were disturbances which kept the world from really paying attention of what was going on in these labs.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a>” +

“We often hear that the [[political spectrum|left-right opposition]] is outdated or no longer makes sense. But the problem is worse: on many issues, the left-right opposition has reversed itself, the left adopting positions that were those of the right or the far-right in the past and part of the right doing the opposite. Let's start with the question of peace and war. Since the wars have become "humanitarian", it is the left, including the bulk of the "radical" left, which supports them. When [[Maidan|a perfectly orchestrated coup]] takes place in [[Ukraine]], we celebrate the victory of [[democracy]]. In [[Syria]], until recently, support, at least verbal, for the "rebels" was not debated in the left. During the bombings on [[Libya]], [[Jean-Luc Mélenchon|Mélenchon]] argued that it was necessary to prevent the "tyrant" [[Gaddafi]] from killing the revolution. We realized a little late that the opponents of the said tyrant, like the bulk of the rebels in [[Syria]], were also our opponents, that is to say fanatical [[Islamists]]. But the classical left, at least in its radical part, but sometimes also in a certain part of [[social democracy]], was opposed to imperial policies, interference and [[American hegemony]], especially during the [[Vietnam War]]. Today, the simple fact of defending the principle of [[national sovereignty]] passes for being far-right.” +

“But this is because these COVID-19 vaccines have reached the public rollout phase by, and I’ll say it in quotes, “cutting corners”. And by cutting corners, I’m not implying that people were skipping key steps, although honestly, there could be some potential questions around that.” +

Byram Bridle +

“None of us were expecting, I don’t think, that the vaccines would be rolled out very early on in the phase three clinical trials. So the phase three trials are not done. So in essence, what this means is the public rollout right now is an extension of the phase three clinical trial. So those being vaccinated now are, whether they realize it or not, part of the phase three experiment.” +

It can cause damage in our body if it gets into circulation... Now, we have clear-cut evidence that the vaccines that make the cells in our deltoid muscles manufacture this protein — that the vaccine itself, plus the protein — gets into blood circulation.” +

It's entirely possible. But where would the manipulation of these mafia groups come from?

“This sampling reveals that Maxwell, “GM,” took messages at the residence, including from underage girls who were calling to schedule a time to come over to see Epstein. This demonstrates that Maxwell was at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion in 2004 and 2005, incidentally a time period she has denied being around the house in her deposition. See supra GIUFFRE001412; 001435; 001449. The messages also reveal that multiple “girls” were leaving messages that were being taken and memorialized and left out in the open for anyone to see. Certain messages also make clear that a number of these “girls” were in school. In addition to taking messages herself (and the staff working under her direction taking these relevant messages), staff employees were taking and leaving messages for Defendant. This is evidence that Maxwell was in the house at relevant times, including times that she has now testified under oath that she was not there. Other messages demonstrate Epstein and Maxwell’s friends, including Jean Luc Brunel, leaving messages relating to underage females. The following is a small sampling of such messages.” +

Brussels Forum/2014 +

“The ultimate soft power instrument in the world is the Brussels Forum” +

Brussels Forum/2018 +

“BRUSSELS – The 13th German Marshall Fund’s Brussels Forum took place on 8-10 March. As in the previous years, it gathered leaders from government, business, journalism, and academia for discussions of pressing global issues. One of the key panels of the first day was with [[Polish Prime Minister]] [[Mateusz Morawiecki]], who addressed policymakers from across Europe and the United States. Despite recent controversies between [[Brussels]] and the [[EU]], the prime minister struck a conciliatory tone. “We try to find a common language with our Western European partners, because I truly believe in Europe,” Prime Minister Morawiecki told the BBC’s [[Katya Adler]] in a conversation that addressed the controversies between Poland and Brussels. The conversation came at a time when the trust in the transatlantic relationship has increasingly come into question, with the Trump administration’s recent announcement of tariffs on steel and aluminum calling trading relationships within the United States and Europe. “We believe in trade with the United States. We believe in reciprocity and this is why I say, in case needed, we will protect our interests, but this is not our attitude. Our attitude is to invest in free and fair trade and we see this as beneficial for the European economy and for the US economy,” said [[Federica Mogherini]], High Representative of the European Union for Foreign and Security Policy and Vice President of the European Commission. The theme of GMF’s 2018 Brussels Forum, Revise, Reboot, Rebuild: Strategies for a Time of Distrust, reflects a time where common ground often feels increasingly difficult to find. The conference, which started on International Women’s Day, featured four all woman panels and 38 percent female participation. “GMF has always been committed to issues of diversity and gender balance,” said [[Karen Donfried]], GMF President. “Women have been making big impact on policy for a long time. If you look at just our agenda today, we have Federica Mogherini, [[Rose Gottemoeller]], [[Manisha Singh]], [[Ana Gomes]], [[Susan Ness]], [[Michèle Flournoy]], just to name some of those headliners. Women are leading today. I don’t know if she’s in the room now, but a trailblazer has been [[Madeleine Albright]], and she will be with us over these next couple of days.” [[NATO Deputy Secretary General]] Rose Gottemoeller addressed NATO’s transatlantic partnership. The Deputy Secretary General stressed the importance of the transatlantic bond, noting that troops from North America and Europe currently serve together in NATO’s four battlegroups in the eastern part of the Alliance, helping to deter aggression. “In the field, on the ground, we see the essence of transatlantic trust,” she said. She underscored that NATO is focused on transatlantic burden-sharing, and many European Allies have stopped cutting their defence spending, and are stepping up their contributions to Alliance security. On European defence, she stressed the need for complementarity between [[NATO]] and EU efforts. Conversations throughout the day emphasized that despite tensions, there is a need to build trust. Trade was at the top of the agenda on the second day of GMF’s Brussels Forum. Against the backdrop of a rapidly developing story of potential U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum, the day’s first conversation featured [[Cecilia Malmström]], [[European Commissioner for Trade]], and [[Robert Zoellick]], chairman of West Alliance and former [[World Bank president]]. Despite concerns that potential tariffs on steel and aluminum could drive a wedge between Europe and the United States, Malmström highlighted common ground on the issue of overproduction in the steel sector. Tying trade to the conference theme of trust, Malmström said: “We want to increase the possibilities for us to trade, for our people to meet to harness and shape globalization. To make sure that we get proper jobs, that we get fair trade, sustainable trade, and also because of the title of this meeting is today, how can we regain trust?” Former Secretary of State [[Madeleine Albright]] also spoke on an entirely different force shaping the world: the refugee crisis. Secretary Albright pointed out the connections between the refugee crisis and other global challenges, saying “Most people don’t want to leave the home where they were born, where they speak the language and have their family. The people who are leaving [[Africa]] are being pushed out because of desertification,” said Albright. “We need to recognize [[the earth is not flat]] and there is a scientific basis to [[climate change]]. I think we need to have short-, medium-, and long-term action plans, because this is the [[new normal]].” The day’s most spirited conversation came in the form of an Oxford Style debate on the motion “Humanitarian Intervention Does More Harm than Good.” Arguing for the motion were [[Frank Ledwidge]], senior fellow at the Royal Air Force College and Dr. [[Rajan Menon]], senior research scholar at [[Columbia University]]. Arguing against the motion were Dr. [[Kori Schake]], deputy director general of the [[International Institute for Strategic Studies]] and [[Bernard Kouchner]], co-founder of [[Doctors Without Borders]] and former [[French foreign minister]]. The debate, hosted in partnership with Intelligence Squared U.S., explored many facets of humanitarian and military intervention. While both sides won audience members to their position, as recorded through the conference voting app BFconnect, the team arguing against the motion won a greater proportion of the audience to their side and prevailed. Other notable speakers on Friday included members of the [[U.S. Congress]] and the European Parliament, CEO of The World Bank [[Kristalina Georgieva]], and [[U.S. Ambassador to NATO]] [[Kay Bailey Hutchison]]. [[Laura Rosenberger]] and [[Jamie Fly]], of GMF’s Alliance for Securing Democracy (ASD), presented Hamilton 68’s methodology, the dashboard that tracks Russian disinformation. The conference will conclude Saturday with sessions featuring [[Georgian President]] [[Giorgi Margvelashvili]], a discussion on resolving the [[North Korea]]n threat, and a conversation with U.S. Senator [[Chris Murphy]]. Senator Chris Murphy and [[Norbert Röttgen]], head of the German Bundestag’s Foreign Affairs Committee, kicked off the final day of GMF’s Brussels Forum. In a conversation that touched on hot button issues from gun control in the United States to the threat posed by North Korea to rapid social change on both sides of the Atlantic, both Murphy and Röttgen expressed commitment to partnership between the United States and Europe. “We have to broaden the conversation. We have to build a kind of political approach among parliamentarians and businesspeople for this rational, liberal approach to foreign policy,” said Röttgen. Murphy expressed a hope that that collaboration between Europe and the United States will continue, even on difficult issues such as trade and climate change. “I think we can do some work, behind the scenes, in an inter-parliamentary manner,” said Murphy. “There are solutions that can still be there.””

Zbigniew Brzezinski +

“Eurasia is home to most of the world's politically assertive and dynamic states. All the historical pretenders to global power originated in Eurasia. The world's most populous aspirants to regional hegemony, China and India, are in Eurasia, as are all the potential political or economic challengers to American primacy. After the United States, the next six largest economies and military spenders are there, as are all but one of the world's overt nuclear powers, and all but one of the covert ones. Eurasia accounts for 75 percent of the world's population, 60 percent of its GNP, and 75 percent of its energy resources. Collectively, Eurasia's potential power overshadows even America's.” +

Zbigniew Brzezinski +

“Eurasia is the world's axial supercontinent. A power that dominated Eurasia would exercise decisive influence over two of the world's three most economically productive regions, Western Europe and East Asia. A glance at the map also suggests that a country dominant in Eurasia would almost automatically control the Middle East and Africa. With Eurasia now serving as the decisive geopolitical chessboard, it no longer suffices to fashion one policy for Europe and another for Asia. What happens with the distribution of power on the Eurasian landmass will be of decisive importance to America's global primacy[…].” +

Warren Buffett +

“In the pharmaceutical world of economic durable competitive advantages, having a patent on a best-selling [[drug]] is about as good as it gets. The next best thing is having a monopoly on selling a country’s [[national health program]] the vaccines it needs for its childhood inoculation programs. Both of these businesses are hugely proﬁtable and GSK ([[GlaxoSmithKline]]) excels in both these categories. The vaccine business is particularly attractive because an individual shot (or jab) costs GSK approximately $1.50 to manufacture and it sells to national vaccine programs for approximately $9 a shot. That gives GSK a net proﬁt of approximately $7.50 a shot. This markup gives GSK a very healthy [[profit margin]] that improves with each and every new disease that the company develops a vaccine for. Consider this: GSK's profits rose 10% with the 2009 [[Swine Flu]] outbreak—a disease for which the company had a state-of-the-art vaccine ready to inoculate the masses. In addition to its patents and the durable competitive advantage GSK has with the vaccines, it also established the relationships with the world's governments, and it has the ﬁnancial capital to create, manufacture, and sell vaccines on a world scale. If you were in charge of the health of a nation's 30 million-plus children, who would you buy your vaccines from? Every year? Year after year? You’d pick the biggest and the best. There are only four pharmaceutical giants that control most of the vaccine production in the world and GSK is one of them. There is another component to the vaccine equation that also spells BIG MONEY: Every year, women all over the world give birth to approximately 133 million new babies, 4.3 million babies in the U.S. alone. With the [[United States Centers for Disease Control]] (CDC) recommending that children aged birth through six receive 34 individual vaccine shots/jabs, that means the market for those 34 vaccine shots/jabs increases every year by 4.3 million in just the [[U.S.]] alone. This in turn means that the vaccine manufacturers selling in the U.S. have the potential to earn a proﬁt of $1.09 billion every year (4.3 million x 34 x $7.50 = $1.09 billion). Consider the number of yearly vaccines worldwide and the numbers are staggering—approximately $34 billion a year (133 million x 34 x $7.50 = $33.9 billion). After ten years, in the U.S. alone, vaccine manufacturers will see more than $10 billion in net proﬁt. On a world scale, the number jumps to a potential $340 billion in profits. And wait, it gets even better. With the invention of each new vaccine comes a patent that is good for twenty years and guarantees that no one else can make the vaccine. In other words, the company has a [[monopoly]]. Even when the [[patents]] expire, other companies rarely step into the market because the major manufacturers have a permanent relationship with the government health departments of the world. This enables manufacturers to continue making the same vaccines year after year while maintaining their large proﬁt margins even after their patents have expired. And last but not least, vaccine manufacturers in the US are completely immune from [[lawsuits]]. Back in the [[1980s]] several bad batches of vaccines injured so many children that the resulting successful lawsuits threatened to bankrupt the manufacturers, so the manufacturers lobbied a bill through [[Congress]] making them a protected class.”

“One might imagine that leaving millions of well-educated young men and women without any real work responsibilities but with access to the internet — which is, potentially, at least, a repository of almost all human knowledge and cultural achievement — might spark some sort of Renaissance. Nothing remotely along these lines has taken place. Instead, the situation has sparked an efflorescence of [[social media]] ([[Facebook]], [[YouTube]], [[Instagram]], [[Twitter]]): basically, of forms of electronic media that lend themselves to being produced and consumed while pretending to do something else. I am convinced this is the primary reason for the rise of social media, especially when one considers it in the light not just of the rise of [[bullshit jobs]] but also of the increasing bullshitization of real jobs.” +

“No doubt bullshit jobs have long been with us; but recent years have seen an enormous proliferation of such pointless forms of employment, accompanied by an ever-increasing bullshitization of real jobs — and despite a popular misconception that all this is somehow tied to the rise of the service sector, this proliferation appears to have everything to do with the growing importance of finance.” +

“From roughly 1945 to 1975, there was what is sometimes referred to as a “Keynesian bargain” between [[workers]], [[employers]], and [[government]] — and part of the tacit understanding was that increases in [[worker productivity]] would indeed be matched by increases in [[worker compensation]]. ...this was exactly what happened. In the [[1970s]], the two began to part ways, with compensation remaining largely flat, and productivity taking off like a rocket” +

Bureaucracy +

“Having worked briefly in the Canadian bureaucracy, I have observed that bureaucratic debate where power is involved tends to favor paranoid or worst-case analyses, especially those that justify budget and bureaucratic growth. Today's bureaucratic [[paranoia]] has indeed been institutionalized by what has been popularized as Vice President [[Cheney]]'s 1% doctrine:- Even if there is just a 1% of the unimaginable coming due, act as if it is a certainty. It's not about our analysis, as Cheney said, it's about our response. Justified or not, fact based or not, our response is what matters. As to evidence, the bar was set so low that the word itself almost didn't apply. If there was even a 1% chance of [[terrorists]] getting a [[weapon of mass destruction]], the United States must act now as if it were a certainty. This doctrine is a license for untrammeled expansion of the secret deep state.” +

“George H. W. Bush was such a pivotal [[deep politician]] because he bridged two separate worlds.

His father, [[Prescott Bush|Prescott]], had been managing partner at the [[Wall Street]] investment bank [[Brown Brothers Harriman]] and also a [[US Senator]]. The Bush and Rockefeller families were very close. George H.W.’s grandfather [[Samuel Bush|Samuel]] had been business partners with [[John D.

“We intend to establish the equivalence with cash and there is a huge difference there, for example '''in cash we don’t know who is using a 100 dollar bill today''' ... the key difference with the CBDC is that '''the [[central bank]] will have absolute control''' on the rules and regulations that will determine the use regarding that expression of central bank liability and also we will have the technology to enforce that.” +

“[...] you know the digital euro is going to have a limited amount of control. There will be control, you're right, you're completely right. We are considering whether for very small amounts, you know, anything that is around 300, 400 Euros, we could have a mechanism where there is zero control. But that could be dangerous, the terrorist attacks on France, uh back, uh 10 years ago, were entirely financed by those very small anonymous credit cards that you can recharge in total anonymity.” +

CBDC +

“CBDC can allow government agencies and private sector players to program, to create smart contracts, to allow targeted policy functions, e.g. welfare payments, e.g. [[consumption coupons]], e.g. food stamps. By programming CBDC, those monies can be precisely targeted, for what kind of people can own and for what uses these monies can be utilized, e.g. for [[food]]. So this potential programmability can help government agencies to precisely target their support to those people who need support.” +

“A majority of U.S. intelligence agencies has so far concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic mostly likely started when SARS-CoV-2 jumped from an infected animal host into people; a wildlife market in Wuhan, China, has received intense attention from researchers as the potential source. But the Department of Energy and FBI so far have favored the so-called lab-leak hypothesis, even though none of the agencies has expressed high confidence in their conclusions on COVID-19’s origin. CIA, for example, had reportedly said it was “unable to determine” whether SARS-CoV-2 made a direct jump from animals to humans—or came from a lab. Now, Representative Brad Wenstrup (R–OH), who chairs the [[House of Representatives Select Subcommittee]] on the Coronavirus Pandemic, says his panel and the House’s Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have heard testimony from a [[whistleblower]] “who presents as a highly credible senior-level [[CIA]] officer.” According to the press release, the whistleblower testified that only the most senior analyst of a seven-member CIA team investigating the origin of COVID-19 supported the zoonotic transmission theory. The whistleblower alleged the other six team members supporting the lab origin then received “a significant monetary incentive to change their position,” wrote Wenstrup and Representative Mike Turner (R–OH), who chairs the intelligence panel.” +

“[[George H. W. Bush|[Bush]]] wielded this heightened power on behalf of the [[military industrial complex]] that [[president Eisenhower]] had so famously warned against. Politicising the process of intelligence analysis, he imposed a systematic bias that took a new, harder line towards the communist block. This was a direct reversal of the [[Nixon]]-[[Kissinger]] policy of [[detente]]. Under the guidance of [[Rumsfeld]], [[Dick Cheney|Cheney]], a young [[Paul Wolfowitz]] and others who had ascended in the [[Halloween massacre]], Poppy began finding ways to get around the analysts who did not sufficiently hype the Soviet [[threat]]. To that end, he created a second analytical team which produced alarming estimates of Soviet military capabilities. The concept was known as Team A - [[Team B]]. In this way, Poppy was the father of the analytical gamesmanship [[George W. Bush|his son]] would use to justify [[2003 Iraq War|war with Iraq]] nearly three decades later, under the guidance of the same Rumseld, Cheney and Wolfowitz.” +

“Going back 50 years, the agency's practice was to publicly identify and praise most of [[Frank Archibald|Archibald]]'s predecessors. Why? Paradoxically, it’s a job that requires a certain degree of public exposure. The spy chief's duties require him to visit regularly with the [[FBI]], [[NSA]] and the dozen other branches of the [[U.S. intelligence community]], to testify to congressional oversight committees and to meet with his foreign counterparts, either here or in some of the world’s most dangerous neighborhoods. Nearly two dozen of his predecessors have been known to the public. It’s too bad they’re going all black-cloak with Archibald, because after the bumpy tenures of the past few people in that job, the agency could benefit from letting people know that it has a "quiet professional" at the helm, as one former colleague put it, a figure of continuity at an agency that has changed CIA directors six times since [[2003]].” +

It was extreme, and it did do some awful things....Cointelpro was serious, but it’s only part of the picture. It seems that what worked best for the FBI was the tried-and-true methods. It was a matter of putting informants in, getting information, infiltrating early on to get informants at the peak of the organization’s leadership pyramid. Trying to split people from each other, spreading rumors in the press. These are things that still happen today, albeit in different forms and probably by different agencies.” +

Right then, there should have been a comprehensive, pockets-inside-out, fully public investigation of the Virology Institute, along with the other important virus labs in [[Wuhan]], including the one close by the seafood market, headquarters of the Wuhan CDC. There should have been interviews with scientists, interviews with biosafety teams, close parsings of laboratory notebooks, freezer and plumbing and decontamination systems checks — everything.

COVID-19/Panic +

“[T]here is a process, being fed by [[mainstream media]] accounts and genuine [[panic]] in populations unclear what the real dangers are, that has alarming implications for the post-pandemic future.... A relevant question is whether certain [[deep politician|bad actors]], and there are some in this world, are opportunistically '''using the widespread fears around the COVID-19 to advance an agenda of “[[lock step]]” top down [[social control]], one that would include stark [[freedom of movement|limits on travel]], perhaps replacing of [[cash]] by “sanitary” electronic cash, mandatory [[vaccination]]''' even though the long term side effects are not proven safe, [[unlimited surveillance]] and the curtailing of [[personal freedoms]] such as political protests on the excuse it will allow “identification of people who refuse to be tested or vaccinated,” and countless other restrictions. Much of the [[Rockefeller 2010 scenario]] is already evident. [[Fear]] is never a good guide to sound reason.” +

“There are now 50-some high-quality zero prevalence studies, says it has a 95% survival rate for people who are 70 and older. For people under 70, it's 99.95% survival. It's much less deadly for people who are under 70, 99.95. And for children, it's frankly, the flu is worse. We've had more flu deaths among children this year than COVID deaths, just in terms of mortality.” +

“Scientists have achieved miracles with the [[COVID-19/Vaccines|vaccines]]. Now the world’s leaders have just to show elementary common sense. They must do “whatever it takes” to finance accelerated production and distribution of vaccines – and, if necessary, reformulated vaccines – globally.

“The MOTIVE is to default on all government debts and to hide their failure, Schwab is presenting this as you will own nothing and be happy because governments will erase all debt. Pension will be replaced by Guaranteed Basic Income. So while everyone argues over COVID, vaccines, COVID passports, and lockdowns, the real plot is never discussed. This is what 2032 is all about. It is the '''end of an era''' that began with Keynesian Economics and the Great Depression. Part of Schwab’s 2030 agenda is to end democracy they call “populism” for we are too stupid to know what is best for us, when it is all about them retaining power.” +

COVID-19/Purposes +

“Coronavirus has its own beneficiaries, billionaires all over the world—this is already a fact—they have significantly increased their fortunes, the gap between the very rich and the rest of the population has noticeably increased. The rich have become even richer, and the poor have become even poorer. Is this mafia going to give up trillions of its profits? Therefore, they continue to whip up panic, and vaccines become elements of big politics. Real vaccine wars have unfolded in the West.

COVID-19/Response +

“We don’t want to have a lot of recovered people... To be clear, we’re trying – through the [[COVID-19/Lockdown/US|shut-down in the United States]] – to not get to one percent of the population infected. We’re well below that today, but with exponentiation, you could get past that three million [people or approximately one percent of the U.S. population being infected with COVID-19 and the vast majority recovering]. Eventually what we’ll have to have is certificates of who’s a recovered person, who’s a [[COVID-19/Vaccine|vaccinated]] person... Because you don’t want people moving around the world where you’ll have some countries that won’t have it under control, sadly. You don’t want to completely block off the ability for people to go there and come back and move around. So eventually there will be this digital immunity proof that will help facilitate the global reopening up.” +

“I want to say it again: we in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as a primary means of control of this virus. [. . .] We may well have a doubling of world poverty by early next year. We may well have at least a doubling of child malnutrition because children are not getting meals at school and their parents and poor families are not able to afford it. This is a terrible, ghastly global catastrophe, actually. And so we really do appeal to all world leaders: stop using lockdown as your primary control method. Develop better systems for doing it. Work together and learn from each other. But remember, lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never, ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer. ” +

“[...] It's because [[big pharma]] is losing money. Year, over year, over year - go look at the data. 30 percent they spent more and more and more, in RD (research & development), and you would think if you spent more RD, you should be getting more allowances. Well, they are getting 30 percent less, and less allowances. Why? Because even the FDA is recognising that their products are toxic. So their new business model is vaccines - why? Because pharmaceutical drugs you can sue the manufacturer, you can take them to [[court]], they spend five billion dollars, 13 - 14 years, very expensive, high risk, low reward, you can get sued. Vaccines? No risk. You know why - because they do not go through the same regulatory framework, they call them biologics. Alright? Number two, you can't sue vaccine manufacturers, [http://archive.today/2020.07.14-200512/https://apnews.com/fdcc1171f2e916f6f616bb05802fa5cf thank you Ed Kennedy] and the politicians who protected big pharma. You can't sue them. And if you can, you have to go through a [[vaccine court]] run by the US government, which means tax payers pay for it... 30 million people in the United States now do yoga. Think about that. So you have this trend were people are saying, I'm gonna take care of my body, I'm gonna find out the right foods for my kids, I'm gonna start understanding vitamins and herbs. This did not occur ten years ago. And so therefore big pharma sees their entire business model tanking. If you want we can do a whole analysis, you can bring all the economists in the world and we will show you the data, that their business model is tanking, it's burning to the ground, literally. So they need a new business model. And that business model is vaccines - why? Or cell therapies, they are called biologics. They don't need to go through the same stringent testing and they avoid all the litigation. That is what pharma is looking at, their [[drugs]] are failing - they do not work, more and more people want healthy life styles - they need to mandate vaccines, that is what this is about.”

COVID-19/Vaccine/Safety +

“So, really understanding the safety at gigantic scale across all age ranges, pregnant, male, female, undernourished, existing co-morbidities, it's very, very hard and that actual decision of OK, let's go and give this vaccine to the entire world, governments will have to be involved because there will be some risks and indemnification needed before that can be decided on.” +

COVID-19/Vaccine/Safety +

“knowing [[COVID-19|the virus]], knowing [[COVID-19/Vaccine|these vaccines]], knowing these two areas of science, I am quite confident that it’s just a matter of time before we will have a number of [[COVID-19/Varians|variants]] that can readily bypass this narrowly focused immunity that these vaccines confer.” +

COVID-19/Zero Covid +

“Nearly three years into the pandemic, China is sticking with a strict COVID-19 containment policy that has caused mounting economic damage and widespread frustration, while keeping its borders shut for most international travel. China has yet to describe when or how it will begin to exit from an approach that it calls "dynamic zero". China says it recognises domestic outbreaks are inevitable, and its policies are not geared towards having zero cases at all times but instead, are about "dynamically" taking action when cases surface. Dynamic-zero is two-pronged - prevention and containment. This year has seen the intensification of both aspects as the highly transmissible Omicron variant spread across China. Prevention focuses on early detection through regular PCR tests, especially in cities, where a recent negative result can be a requirement to enter a business or public facility. Potential or suspected cases are isolated at home or placed under quarantine at a government-supervised facility. Those deemed close contacts of infected people must quarantine, and even distant or potential contact can result in an order to stay home. Control tactics, aimed at swiftly cutting off transmission chains to forestall outbreaks, involve quarantining cases at government-supervised facilities and locking down buildings, communities or even entire cities. Since March 2020, China's borders have remained shut to most visitors. Arrivals of all nationalities are subject to seven days of quarantine at a facility and three days of home isolation. Each person's PCR test result is electronically logged on government databases, as well as one's travel history, which is tracked by mobile phone signals. People must keep a "normal" COVID profile with continual negative test results, no contact with infected people and no visits to risky places. Profiles are maintained on mobile phone "health kits". An abnormal profile bars access to public venues and mass transit, and can even require home quarantine for days with electronic seals attached to doors to enforce isolation. Profiles can without warning turn abnormal - indicated by a change in colour or the dreaded appearance of a pop-up window - if one was at a mall visited by an infected person or if one was a contact of a close contact. Sometimes profiles become abnormal even if all the requirements are met. Visits to other cities or provinces may require quarantine on arrival. Lockdowns, which can be at the building level or much wider, can be sudden. A single case can trigger the lockdown of a building or residential compound, which means people cannot leave. Some lockdowns have lasted for months. Entire cities can be locked down with only hours of notice. Big cities that have been shut, sometimes more than once, include Shanghai, Xian, Chengdu, Tianjin, Shenzhen and even entire provinces and regions such as Xinjiang, Tibet and Jilin. China argues that its policy saves lives. The authorities acknowledge Omicron is far less likely to cause serious health issues but say its high transmissibility means large outbreaks would lead to a run on medical resources and expose vulnerable groups, including hundreds of millions of elderly people. China's official death toll had stayed near just 4,600 since 2020 until more than 560 fatalities struck Shanghai in April and May, spurring other cities to further enhance their COVID defences. Chinese health authorities predicted last month that for every 100,000 infections there would be at least 100 deaths. China has yet to approve any foreign vaccines or any domestically made shots based on mRNA technology. Authorities have also not pushed for a quicker pace of vaccination this year, compared with a big vaccination campaign in 2021. As of Tuesday, 3.44 billion doses had been administered, with over 90% of China's population fully vaccinated. But only around 60% of the general population has received booster shots. About 80% of those aged 60 and above have had additional doses.”

“Anyone who’s over 70 who gets one of these mRNA vaccines will probably sadly die within about two to three years.    And I would say anyone who gets the mRNA injection, no matter what age you are, your life expectancy will be reduced to, you know, die if you’re in your thirties within five to ten years, and you probably will have allergy, neuro-cognitive issues, inflammation, and of course [[infertility]] is the major one” +

Canada/Deep state +

“The Civil Service is there to advise on, but not to determine policy. A minister is there to see that government policy is carried out within his department… That said, had I been returned to office in [[1965]], there would have been some major changes made. It became obvious as soon as we were out of office in 1963 that there were quite a number of senior people in the public service, about whom I had not known, who had simply been underground, quietly working against my government and waiting for the Liberals to return to power.” +

Canada/Deep state +

“You may have heard the term “[[deep state]]” in recent months, especially out of the [[United States]]. It is a powerful term, but in Canada its meaning is getting stripped. Up here, “deep state” is in danger of becoming just another term for [[bureaucratic]] inertia and a resistant [[civil service]]. That distorts the concept, so let’s take a look at this term, and an example of a deep state in Canada. Democracy depends on a wide range of institutions: [[political parties]]; [[courts]], [[police]], and [[CCM|media]]; non-partisan civil servants and arms-length [[regulator]]s; and [[universities]] with experts who pursue truth wherever evidence may lead. A key feature of democracy is that these institutions are genuinely independent. They are not beholden to any private interest, and are instead loyal to the public interest and obedient to the rule of law. But what happens when public institutions lose their independence? Even more, what happens when a whole series of democratic institutions falls under the sway of one private interest? This would occur, for example, when the governing party, the opposition party, the civil service, universities and regulators all follow the lead of the same private interest. When several key democratic institutions are captured and held by the same private interest, a “deep state” forms. A deep state is an unofficial system of government that arises separately from, but is closely connected to, the official system. It is a public-private hybrid that operates outside public view. In a modern [[democracy]] like [[Canada]], a deep state typically comprises leading owners and executives of major private interests and their allies, together with a selection of politicians and bureaucrats tied to the success of those private interests. A successful deep state captures and harnesses the institutions of democracy for its own use. Very few private interests have the resources to establish a deep state. In Canada, one that does is the [[oil industry]].”

“Early findings show that there really is a rapid uptake of different [[conspiracy theories]], particularly in the [[United States]] and [[France]].

“It's the old American Double Standard, ya know: Say one thing, do something' different. And of course, this country is founded on the double standard, that's our history! We were founded on a very basic double standard: This country was founded by slave owners who wanted to be free. Am I right? A group of slave owners who wanted to be free! So they killed a lot of white English people, in order to continue owning their black African people, so they could wipe out of the rest of the red Indian people, so they move west and steal the rest of the land from the brown [[Mexican]] people, giving them a place to take off and drop their nuclear weapons on the yellow Japanese people. You know what the motto of this country ought to be? "You give us a color, we'll wipe it out!"” +

“Now listen, long as we’re discussing minorities, I’d like to mention something about language. There are a couple of terms being used a lot these days by guilty white [[liberals]]. First one is “happens to be”… “He happens to be black. I have a friend who happens to be black.” Like it’s a fucking accident you know? Happens to be black? “Yes, he happens to be black.” Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he had two black parents? “Oh yes, yes he did. Yes, that’s right.” Right, and they fucked? “Oh indeed they did… indeed they did.” So where does the surprise part come in? I should think it would be more unusual if he just happened to be Scandinavian! And the other term is “openly.” “Openly gay.” They say “he’s openly gay.” But that’s the only minority they use that for. You know, you wouldn’t say someone was “openly black.” … well maybe James Brown… or Louis Farrakhan; Louis Farrakhan is openly black. [[Colin Powell]] is not openly black, Colin Powell is openly white; he just happens to be black.” +

“[[Drug dealers]] aren’t afraid to die. They’re already killing each other every day on the streets by the hundreds. Drive-bys, gang shootings, they’re not afraid to die. The death penalty doesn’t mean anything unless you use it on people who are afraid to die. Like… the [[bankers]] who launder the drug money! The bankers. Who launder. The drug money! Forget the dealers, you want to slow down that drug traffic, you got to start executing a few of these fucking bankers.” +

“Sanctity of [[life]]. You believe in it? Personally, I think it’s a bunch of shit. Well, I mean, life is sacred? Who said so? [[God]]? Hey, if you read [[history]], you realize that God is one of the leading [[causes of death]]. Has been for thousands of years. [[Hindus]], [[Muslims]], [[Jews]], [[Christians]] all taking turns killing each other ‘cause God told them it was a good idea. The sword of God, the blood of the land, vengeance is mine. Millions of dead motherfuckers. Millions of dead motherfuckers all because they gave the wrong answer to the God question. “You believe in God?” “No.” Boom. Dead. “You believe in God?” “Yes.” “You believe in my God? “No.” Boom. Dead. “My God has a bigger dick than your God!” Thousands of years. Thousands of years, and all the best [[wars]], too. The bloodiest, most brutal [[wars]] fought, all based on religious hatred.” +

“Governments don’t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that... that doesn't help them. That’s against their interests. They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they are getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fuckin' years ago. They don't want that. You know what they want?... They want obedient workers, ''obedient workers''. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it.” +

“Now, to balance the scale, I'd like to talk about some things that bring us together, things that point out our similarities instead of our differences. 'Cause that's all you ever hear about in this country. It's our differences. That's all the media and the [[politicians]] are ever talking about—the things that separate us, things that make us different from one another. That's the way the ruling class operates in any society. They try to divide the rest of the people. They keep the lower and the [[middle classes]] fighting with each other so that they, the rich, can run off with all the fucking [[money]]! Fairly simple thing. Happens to work. You know? Anything different—that's what they're gonna talk about—race, [[religion]], ethnic and national background, jobs, income, [[education]], social status, sexuality, anything they can do to keep us fighting with each other, so that they can keep going to the [[bank]]! You know how I define the economic and social classes in this country? The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the shit out of the middle class. Keep 'em showing up at those jobs.” +

“The Government wants to tell you things you can't say because they're against the law, or you can't say this because it's against a regulation, or here's something you can't say because it's a...secret; "You can't tell him that because he's not cleared to know that." The government wants to control information and control language because that's the way you control thought, and basically that's the game they're in.” +

“Smug, greedy, well-fed white people have invented a language to conceal their sins. It's as simple as that. The [[CIA]] doesn't kill anybody anymore, they neutralize people, or they depopulate the area. The [[government]] doesn't lie, it engages in [[disinformation]]. The [[Pentagon]] actually measures nuclear radiation in something they call sunshine units. Israeli murderers are called commandos, Arab commandos are called terrorists. [[Contra]] killers are called freedom fighters. Well, if crime fighters fight crime, and firefighters fight fires, what do freedom fighters fight?” +

“The planet is fine. The people are fucked. Because everyone is trying to save the planet. The planet doesn’t need that. The planet will take care of itself. People are selfish. And that's what they're doing is trying to save the planet for themselves to have a nicer place to live. They don't care about the planet in theory. They just care about having a comfortable place. And these people with the fires and the floods and everything, they overbuild, they put nature to the test and they get what's coming to them. That's what I say. That's what's happening, and I can't wait for the sea levels to rise. I can't wait for some of these cities to disappear. There are places that are going to go away. The map is going to change and that's because — people think nature is outside of them. They don't take into them the idea that we are part of it. They say, "oh, we're going for a nature walk. We're going to the country because we like nature." Nature is in here. [points to chest] And if you're in tune with it, like the Indians, the Hopis, especially, the balance of life, the balance, the harmony of nature, if you understand that, you don't overbuild. You don’t do all this moron stuff.” +

“Everybody knows by now, all [[businessmen]] are completely full of shit; just the worst kind of low-life, criminal, cocksuckers you could ever wanna' run into – a fuckin' piece of shit businessman. And the proof of it, the proof of it is, they don't even trust each other. They don't trust one another. When a businessman sits down to negotiate a deal, the first thing he does is to automatically assume that the other guy is a complete lying prick who's trying to fuck him outta his money. So he's gotta do everything he can to fuck the other guy a little bit faster and a little bit harder. And he's gotta do it with a big smile on his face. You know that big, bullshit businessman smile? And if you're a customer – Whoah! – that's when you get the really big smile. The customer always gets that really big smile, as the businessman carefully positions himself directly behind the customer, and unzips his pants, and proceeds to service...the...account. I am servicing this account. This customer needs service. Now you know what they mean. Now you know what they mean when they say, "We specialize in customer service." Whoever coined the phrase "let the buyer beware" was probably bleeding from the asshole. That's business.” +

“It's a big club, and you ain't in it. In [[America]], anyone can become [[US president|president]]. That’s the problem.” +

“Cigarette companies market heavily to young people. They need young customers because their product kills the older ones. It is the only product that, if used as intended, kills the consumer.” +

“This whole country has a manhood problem, biiiiiig manhood problem in the USA. You can tell from the language we use; language always gives you away. What did we do wrong in [[Vietnam]]? We pulled out! Huh? Not a very manly thing to do is it? When you’re fucking people, you gotta stay in there and fuck them good! Fuck ‘em all the way! Fuck ‘em ‘til the end! Fuck ‘em to death! Fuck ‘em to death! Fuck ‘em to death! Stay in there and keep fucking them until they’re all dead! We left a few women and children alive in Vietnam and we haven’t felt good about ourselves since. That’s why in the [[Persian Gulf]] [[George H. W. Bush|George Bush]] had to say “this will not be another Vietnam!” He actually used these words, he said: “This time, we’re going all the way!” Imagine, an American president using the sexual slang of a 13-year-old to describe his foreign policy. If you wanna know what happened in the Persian Gulf, just remember the names of the two men who were running that war: [[Dick Cheney]] and [[Colin Powell]]… somebody got fucked in the ass!” +
