RSSPrior to “The Protocols” Dostoevsky wrote “Beasts” circa 1871. The main themes [viz. domestic subversion to overthrow a government] exactly the same. In fact, his book is often praised for “predicting” rise of Bolshevikism.
“Bolivia, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Panama, Philippines, and Poland”
As things stand and have stood for decades: an Arab state in Palestine And The Jews’ State/Der Judenstaat in Palestine would require: at least hundreds of thousands of troops to implement.
When has this basic, obvious, fact, ever been even discussed (seriously and substantively) by the Americans, the Russians, the Chinese; or the NATO, the EU; the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation; the United Nations Organization General Assembly, the Security Council?
Absent looking directly down the barrel of that gun of truth — everything else is at best flagrant gas lighting . . . the perpetuation of make-believe: & a putting of the cart before the horse, as it were.
The 29 November 1947 United Nations General Assembly Resolution– non-binding — “partition” “plan” on Palestine violated the very charter of the fledgling United Nations Organization; was written on behalf of the Zionist Project; and was opposed by the natives and the region precisely because it explicitly denied Arabs their right to self determination, a right that was purportedly at the heart of the UNO. Nor did UNO possess any authority to “create” countries, neither out of whole cloth or otherwise. Yet this legal “recommendation” has haunted the world; and marks the real essence of the UNO’s purpose in fact.
This awkward document includes: “RECOGNIZING
The historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and the claim which they have to reconstitute their national home in that country;
The dispersion and suffering which have been the harsh lot of Jewish people for centuries, and the profound longing which they have for a homeland;
The urgent need for the solution of the problem of Palestine, which has been the subject of repeated consideration by the Assembly and the Council;
The need for the establishment of a special international regime for the City of Jerusalem, which should be administered by the United Nations”
This is a statement about the primacy of Imperialism and Neo Imperialism. The UNO was in fact founded on the principles of exactly that; the current genocide is consistent with the UNO’s actually existing founding principles, among other things.
On implementing this disaster, how was the known need for hundreds of thousands of troops to do this — how was that addressed in 181? As follows:
“To appoint, as provided in Article 4 below, a Commission to facilitate the termination of the Mandate for Palestine and to consolidate the peaceable settlement of the area.”
“ARTICLE 4
A Commission shall be set up consisting of one representative of each of the following states: Bolivia, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Panama, Philippines, and Poland. This Commission shall have the following functions:
To facilitate the termination of the Mandate for Palestine and the settlement of the area;
To ensure the peaceful settlement of the area;
To supervise the implementation of the plan of partition;
To recommend to the General Assembly measures for the protection of the Holy Places and the rights of the inhabitants of the area.”
This utter, maddening, primitive nonsense, has continued, apace: of which “We’re Not Going Back” VP Harris’ recent remarks are consistent with.
Digest the Najib ‘Azuri, Le reveil de la nation arabe, The Awakening of the Arab Nation (1905) — who was perhaps first scholar to recognize — while Ottoman Empire was still intact — collision of Zionism Project in Palestine with its native peoples.
In fact, he predicted 119 years ago: that this project would bring about great wars and destruction of region.
During UNGA discussion prior to the 29 November 1947, the Iraq representative stated in part, the previous day, as follows:
[[The plan, if adopted, would violate the very principle of self-determination, which is the basis of the Charter. The people of Palestine are given no say in shaping their destiny. That is not self-determination; it is an imposed determination, imposed not by the United Nations but by power politics played in the United Nations.
This plan is most partial and unjust, for it was drafted by a Sub-Committee which contained no neutral Member States as members. It is Zionist-designed, and was adopted by a pro-Zionist Sub-Committee which gave all its care and attention to Zionist demands, leaving to the Arabs what Zionist benevolence permitted. We cannot forget the scene enacted in the Ad Hoc Committee on the Palestinian Question when the representative of the Jewish Agency, through his own benevolence, agreed to give a portion of the Negeb to the Arab State. The gift was graciously accepted by the representative of the United States.
The plan is unworkable from an economic, administrative and political point of view. Partition had already been proposed by the Peel Commission ten years ago. At that time, the United Kingdom, which was the great Power best qualified to judge the issue, sent another commission to study the implementation of partition. After receiving its report, the United Kingdom Government issued a White Paper declaring that it had reached the conclusion that this further examination had shown that the political, administrative and financial difficulties involved in the proposal to create independent Arab and Jewish States inside Palestine were so great, that this solution of the problem was impracticable.
Partition imposed against the will of the majority of the people will jeopardize peace and harmony in the Middle East. Not only the uprising of the Arabs of Palestine is to be expected, but the masses in the Arab world cannot be restrained. The Arab-Jewish relationship in the Arab world will greatly deteriorate.
There are more Jews in the Arab world outside of Palestine than there are in Palestine. In Iraq alone, we have about one hundred and fifty thousand Jews who share with Moslems and Christians all the advantages of political and economic rights. Harmony prevails among Moslems, Christians and Jews. But any injustice imposed upon the Arabs of Palestine will disturb the harmony among Jews and non-Jews in Iraq; it will breed inter-religious prejudice and hatred.
A Jewish State in Palestine would be a great danger to international peace in that part of the world. It would be a place where conflicting power politics would play a role. A recent trial of underground communists in Baghdad who were precipitating a subversive movement against the constitution of the country revealed that these communists were financed by Zionist sources in Palestine from the sale of all forms of merchandise, the returns of which were spent on subversive movements. This, by the way, is a method which was used by the nazis before the last war. The immigrants coming into Palestine—the origins of many of whom are not known—carry the seeds of many a subversive movement into the Near East. This certainly will contribute to the disturbance of international peace and security in the Arab world. . . .At this eleventh hour, we still have a last chance to think in terms of the Charter and to abide by the principles of unity, democracy and self-determination. We can still attempt a solution, just and abiding. Pressure and power politics should not influence our votes and decisions. A United Nations General Assembly, acting in the spirit of the Charter, can recommend only a unified, not a dismembered Palestine. ]]

“As reported and witnessed by the entire world” is the entire problem with Ronny Jackson claims.
This is not how actual medical doctors claiming to describe a medical condition, an injury to the body, talk.
This is how propagandists and those in the habit of gaslighting speak.
Where are the actual medical records?
Publish all of those, otherwise we are left with more partisan agendas.
Rank and file Democrats here in Massachusetts have all told me nothing adds up, and see this as a poorly staged psy ops, being repeated and repeated, including by their “Friends” called New York Times and National Public Radio.
When I ask them: how does it feel that NYT and NPR are doing nothing to investigate what actually happened, they tend to feel embarrassed by the fact that NYT and NPR — their erstwhile ‘friends’ — are also complicit, are also corrupt, are also enemies of the people.
These are the people who believed in Jan. 6, 2021, Russia-Hoax, believed in Fauci, etc. — and did not care that Trump was being prosecuted for no rational reason — in fact: they liked that: because they hated that man and the ends justified the means, in their eyes. Now, that amorality, how things really work, is a hard pill to swallow. They liked it when they need not worry about the facts on the with hunts against Trump; now, when actual journalism is needed, there are none. This fact is the real similarity with the 1960s assassinations of leaders who sought, at some level at least, to be for the people. The fact they were murdered and Trump was not really tells us all we need to know. . . .Trump, whose advocacy of the non-tested, unsafe, useless covid shots, . . . how stunning that he is a viable candidate, and even more stunning, Mike Pompeo speaking at RNC convention. Trump Derangement Syndrome is a bipartisan disease!
Now, they are seeing that the likes of NYT & NPR are part of our criminal crime syndicate, to keep us confused, and the like. . . . they are kind of really on the verge of hysteria.
This is what Ronny Jackson is claiming: “. . . .As reported and witnessed by the entire world, he sustained a gunshot wound to the right ear from a high-powered rifle used by the would be assassin. . . .”
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112820414450748116
To be definitive, to be actual concrete medical evidence, this MD should have said along the lines as follows:
“Actual medical records and statements from the attending physicians state that Trump sustained a gunshot wound to the right ear.”
Someone who is in actual authority prosecuting/investigating this alleged crime. . . it is for them, not Ronny Jackson, to claim: “from a high-powered rifle used by the would be assassin.” On what authority is Jackson making this part of his claims?
Jackson gives away the game when he states: “As reported and witnessed by the entire world. . . .”
According to Rumsfeld, the Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq may have been somewhere east, west, north, south of Baghdad. In other words, he was gas lighting.
No MD worth his salt would cite “As reported and witnessed by the entire world” to make a claim about an injury.
In this vein, in Fauci-speak, “it doesn’t really matter” “if” “vaccine” “effectiveness” is “a hundred percent, 50 percent, or 20 percent, it is always, always better to get vaccinated than not”. He made this statement before congress in December, 2019.
Be that as it may. . . .Until a false flag operation/psy op, etc., on July 13, 2024, can definitely, explicitly, be ruled out, based on all the evidence, via a genuine, authentic investigation — otherwise: what are they investigating, pray tell? This must be step one, period.
Simple logic doesn’t just go out the window. Any investigation that claims to be a genuine investigation must address this matter first, otherwise they are just “jerking us around,” as it were.
If this is a false flag, was Trump in on it? Did a bullet actually strike him? Who has benefited politically from all of this? Does who benefits still mean anything in criminal investigations?
When the “shots were fired”, the Trump supporters filming that, who claimed they are “news” “Organization” taping that live, [inexplicably?] panned far far away from Trump, and then, inexplicably, muted the sound, when he became surrounded by s e c r e t s e r v i c e.
An actual news organization would have panned even closer and turned up the sound!
Why is there no blood on Trump’s right hand right after he was allegedly shot on right ear, — and he had just put his right hand there, on ear, no more than a second prior? This is what the video feed, that was a live feed, too, showed, to my eyes, at any rate.
What are the odds of two “Magic Bullets” appearing in my lifetime, one viz. a sitting president; the other, a former president?
Tell it to Ripley’s Believe it or Not.

A particular oddity of Trump’s first term was the fact, in situation after situation, he appeared to act as if he did not possess constitutional authority on certain matters when it was perfectly obvious he did.
It’s as if he would be saying: Please Handcuff Me! And those around him in the capitol obliged. [And his sycophants in Washington and across the land would then scream: Trump is a victim of this or that.]
All I can say at this time is that July 13 appears to me to be a confounding psy op/false flag of some sort.
It seems to me the default “reaction” to events should always be skepticism.
[see link below]
Information in it suggest shards of glass from teleprompter may have caused the ear injury. Which obviously means that that did not actually require a bullet to cause that. (https://johnhelmer.net/reap-what-you-sow-russian-reaction-to-the-trump-assassination-attempt-is-biblical/ ]

Aldous Huxley:
This medical doctor outright lied to the public? pretending not to know why her child died.
Kid died because mom was beguiled in her servitude. It isn't totally false for her to plead ignorance.Replies: @Jim123
There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods.
This place in relief Social Behaviorism, as a social theory, its content and value and meaning (if not its purpose).
Huxley’s social behaviorism illuminate social theory’s agency/structure mantra–if simply via ignoring individual agency altogether?
Utility of this perspectives puts in relief one of the three great 20th century crimes: Nuremberg and the trial’s conclusion — that individual soldiers, themselves, are responsible for war crimes committed. And saying the child’s death, due to mother, beguiled in her servitude, exonerates this critique of Nuremberg, itself a crime of crimes.
Extending a man in war to an Amherst 16 year old’s mother, in terms of each’s relative agency — if true, obviously has all sorts of implications, consequences, and so on and so forth.
Is it really accurate to say a mother raising a child possess same agency-deficit of man in war on behalf of his government?
An irony, here, is that mom, it appears to me at least, was part of team to “distract” people “from any desire to rebel” via the “propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods.”
When is Christine Blasey Ford testifying, some more, before Congress; and would it matter if she’s under oath; ditto Hunter Biden — and including their inquisitors, most of whom, it appears, possess agency-deficit serving on behalf of government ?

The medical cartel is an armed force of tyranny. For the ultimate contest they can and will have us killed. And their own children exposed to danger of same. Just following orders. If they actually knew what they were doing we would be in deep trouble.

In Massachusetts, from 2015-2022, daily deaths average ~170/day.
There are spikes during influenza season, roughly December through February peak-time; in warmer months, late spring to early fall: less deaths.
However, in April 2020 and May 2020, daily deaths doubled: & so many elderly people died, in this 60-day span, that the average age of death, along with the median age of death, actually spiked up, as well, during this two-month period.
Following December 2020 deployment of mRNA shots, Massachusetts deaths during it’s influenza seasons soared, at levels never seen according to all death records in the state since 2015.
What happened in Massachusetts, circa April 2020 & May 2020?
And why have three most recent, consecutive influenza seasons, been the worst, by far, in terms of deaths?
We actually don’t know why — officially, at any rate — why so many more elderly people with morbidities died in Massachusetts, in hospitals, at nursing homes, in their homes, etc. April & May 2020.
There is no peer-reviewed study that even asks the question how much of these deaths could have been due to medical doctor and medical industry abuse and neglect and failure to treat. Ask Meryl Nass about it, there are many others to ask.
Social segregation is a form of torture; this was one of the government’s “Counter Measures,” by the way.
People barred from visiting their loved ones in hospital, in nursing homes, children segregated from each other via evidence-free school lock downs. Something teachers and teachers unions and administrators and their unions, and parents sitting on school boards all went along with. Don’t say these things didn’t happen. Yet the refrain is always: we love our children! Tell this to Ripley’s Believe it or Not.
Amherst, among the very few school districts in the country that mandated mRNA shots for students, approved by the town’s municipal health director and board of health.
A 16-year old Amherst student and athlete, in Sept. 2022, running a cross-country meet, collapsed, and died a few days later in hospital.
The student’s mother, a medical doctor, and a professor in public health at a leading university, [a school, as with nearly all colleges and universities here in this state] imposed mandate to get the mRNA shots. Otherwise barred from college and employment.
This MD posted on a blog that her child died “and we don’t know why.”
In fact, the death certificate states CARDIAC ARREST IN THE SETTING OF LYMPHOHISTOCYTIC MYOCARDITIS/ COMPLICATIONS OF AN ANOXIC BRAIN INJURY FOLLOWING CARDIOPULMONARY
This medical doctor outright lied to the public? pretending not to know why her child died.
MDs go to school for many years, including to learn and to name a very important thing, naming the cause of death; but not so with this MD. How many liars and charlatans and worse occupy chairs in teaching hospitals, medical centers, private practice and universities and colleges?
Fragmented consciousness, ignorance, greed and lust to maintain some social status rank among our collective enemies in this search for truths viz. corona-911 operation.
Kevin has interviewed Nass a few times, but based on this comment, I’m left wondering if some of it went in one ear and out the other? Interview her some more, interview Sasha Latypova, Brook Jackson, Michael Yeadon, Anthony Fauci — after he left office, he wrote in a paper what he always knew about vaccine efficacy and vaccine effectiveness involving . . . .The former Amherst public health director said during a meeting that she loved Dr. Fauci. She went around town inoculating as many as she could, then resigned her job. The town had its evidence-free mask mandate, and hired college students to go around telling people in public to mask up, get the shots, segregate from one another, and so on and so forth.
As for Kildorff, he is a fool to have argued in April 2020
[Just as in war, we must exploit the characteristics of the enemy in order to defeat it with the minimum number of casualties. Since COVID-19 operates in a highly age specific manner, mandated counter measures must also be age specific. If not, lives will be unnecessarily lost.]
He liked the idea of Social Segregation; he just wanted it to be more refined. Even his refined segregationist-ideas met with derision by the likes of Fauci and his boss, NIH Director Francis Collins — who brooked no dissent against wholesale social segregation, and thus they attacked the Great Barrington Declaration. . . .another scandal in this scandal-ridden corrupt scheme, ongoing crime still in progress.
PS
I believe USMC Major Joseph Murphy did a wonderful job, save for any insinuation China government was part of this crime still in progress:

Historical note for the Ambassador’s edification: “the genie” unleashed during Iran Revolution blossoming 1979.
More than a generation since, we’re still perceiving and abstracting its manifold consequences.
It’s principles underscore, e.g., B R I C S, among other things, since Iran Revolution.
Jean Bricmont and Diana Johnstone must have used plenty of “white-out” — they were unable to state “Jew” — even once — in an essay ostensibly about bad Israel, while spending 2,700 words at it.
Congratulation Jean Bricmont and Diana Johnstone, you win the prize!
Next time you two team up to write on the topic, may I suggest adding perhaps Linh Dinh to the project, at least for some color?
Or an actual middle east expert, even better.
Discourse on what is portrayed as a criminal society without sharing, not once, who might actually be inhabiting it is like a prosecutor telling the judge he is too scared of the criminals to actually charge them by name. . .which automatically equals Case Dismissed. Is this what’s going on?

Iranian Revolution is bringing them down Mr. Sachs
He went to Russia and brought them Disaster Capitalism.
Wittingly or not.
Disaster Capitalism spawns genocides.
In this essay, dealing in personalities instead of social forces, Sachs should know better? Maybe not; his reactionary-esque “intellectual” paradigm blocks him from adequate commentary, for those of us in which getting at what is happening — being able to see what may happen, requires knowing what happened.
JFK Assassination 1963 an historical landmark in time, ushering in what Norman Finkelstein 2000 book titled “The Holocaust Industry.” This industry, in part to buttress and fortifying original Zionist ideologies, dogmas and goals: to occupy land beyond the river to the sea, in West Asia.
PLO formed 1964.
1967 June War, Israel seizes Sinai, West Bank, Golan.
1973 October War Syria regains most of Golan, Egypt Sinai; Kissinger convinces Sadat to stab Asad in the back and Sadat turns against USSR. Israel re-occupy those lands. Thus begin American/Israeli mission to break Soviet influence in Middle East — under Kissinger; and estrange Egypt from Palestine.
Arab League Summit 1974, these states recognized PLO the “sole legitimate representative” of Palestine.
Thus begins Israeli/American mission to break the PLO.
Carter, with Brzezinsky succeed in creating conditions to break PLO: Camp David Agreement signed by Begin & Sadat, Sept. 17, 1978: removing Egypt from Arab resistance; & Brzezinsky further killing Soviet influence in region.
With tens of millions rising up in protest all over, Shah flees Iran Jan. 16, 1979: Iranian Revolution would fill huge vacuum created via Sadat’s error and betrayal in Palestine.
Sadat assassinated Oct. 6, 1981–exactly eight years from Egypt/Syria surprise military actions to regain Sinai and Golan; three years after signing Camp David.
Nixon to Biden: epoch of US lip service-ONLY, to Palestine state; Israel policy always: no state for them.
[[Sachs: The U.S. president needs to take back U.S. policy from the Israel lobby and should stop backing Israel’s extremist and utterly illegal policies.]]
Assuming this is true, how is this going to happen?
Since LBJ, U.S. policy has been Israel-First. At all cost, come what may.
As the architect of Disaster Capitalism in Russia, Sachs knows full well — and has aided and abetted and profited from this general project he now wants or wishes or believes should be modified — precisely and only because more and more USA Jews are scared?
Sachs should acknowledge Israel barbarism is directed and condoned by Biden and European capitols — and has been consistent US policy since LBJ. League of Nations’ British and French Mandates in Arab East required, at all times: denial of human and political rights of peoples France and Britain “Legally” occupying.
[[Nor should the U.S. spend any more funds on Israel unless and until Israel lives within international law, including the Genocide Convention, and 21st century ethics.]]
Though laudable to write, the 29 Nov. 1947 United Nations General Assembly Palestine Partition Resolution was also Palestine Genocide Resolution, backed by western powers; opposed by all the Arabs – social fact it took more of the world 76 years, on Oct. 7, 2023, to realize this, notwithstanding.
Sachs should realize singling out Israel as sole legitimate perpetrator of genocide against Arabs is exactly what Nixon would have called Limited Hangout.
While it’s encouraging someone of Sachs’ social and economic status and prestige to express what he wrote at Common Dreams, like a sieve, it’s full of holes. Instead of begging and offering fragmented perspectives, why not put your ass on the line, risk your reputation? You don’t because your life means more than Palestinians. And this is why we’re where we’re at, in a nutshell. What may someday “settle” this more than century-old conflict is the fact Arabs and Iranians and Muslims and Christians are and have been willing to die for justice. How many Zionist Jews are willing to die? This is where we’re at, for better or worse.

Some narratives on WWII greatly inflate USA role defeating Germany, for instance; and which greatly deflate USSR role.
Though this war, according to western narratives ended summer 1945; from October 18, 1945 to October 1, 1946 occurred Nürnberg, Germany war crimes trials.
For reasons Encyclopædia Britannica would have to explain [they went online a dozen years ago, foregoing print editions], their online entry on
Nürnberg trials
World War II trials
says nothing about gas chambers & millions of Jews killed by Nazi personnel.

Perhaps this is due to a] britannica.com being in error; flip side would be they are not mentioned because at this year-long event: b] this was not shown.

More Nakba
[The hardest thing for me to understand is why Arabs don’t stick up for each other.] This requires understanding that criminals are criminals because they commit crimes, irrespective if justice comes to their victims. That is, also understanding the nature of power, of crime, criminality, justice: in terms of psychology, sociology, social-psychology, morality, the nature of amoral, law, amoral law, history of law, and what absence of law means when this happens, as was Palestine especially during British Mandate [& how that came to be] and since, etc.
Nakba in English loosely translates as Catastrophe. More than century of Nakba ongoing in Palestine.
British Military Occupation of Palestine ended with UNGA Partition Resolution 181: How many hundreds of thousands of troops would have been needed to implement 181?
Two decades later, following June 1967 War, UNSC 242: How many hundreds of thousands of troops needed to implement 242?
Why weren’t hundreds of thousands of troops marshaled to implement the 1947 plan? or the 1967 plan?
Where are the calls today, to marshal hundreds of thousands of troops to implement these ideas?
Where are the cowards of Europe, especially Britain and France, and including Russia, who created the Jewish Problem — why aren’t they ponying up the troops needed to implement this idea?
And the cowards in USA, for this idea’s implementation?
All of the above never say boo about marshaling hundreds of thousands troops needed to implement what they claimed they wanted in 1947, 1967 and since — instead run like rats; abdicate responsibility for what these governments all perpetrate: More Nakba.

They are like infants in the womb being fed through the umbilical cord by the West. They have invested their vast wealth in the West and especially the USA. They import most of their goods from the West, and the lifestyle of luxury the Arab sheikhs enjoy is a reward for their obedience to the master. The master allows them to sell their oil (while sanctioning that of Iran, Russia, Venezuela) in exchange they must recycle some of it with purchases of US arms and Western goods (industrial and agricultural, and luxury goods) and spend the rest on palaces and luxury buildings but not in developing their indigenous scientific, industrial, and technological capabilities.

The total number of Israeli deaths remains uncertain. The government has claimed around 1,400 fatalities, a figure universally reported across the entire global media, but nearly a month after the fighting ending, fewer than 1,100 names have been published, raising serious doubts about the reality of the larger total. Indeed, Blumenthal noted that when Israel’s UN Ambassador distributed horrifying images of the corpses of Israeli civilians killed by Hamas, many of them turned out to be the bodies of Hamas fighters killed by the Israelis. So it seems quite possible that several hundred dead Hamas militants were originally included in that 1,400 total, with the Israeli government being too embarrassed to admit its original mistake.

Ron’s key contributions mid to late October and more recently: comprehensively and painstakingly highlighting IDF ”’Hannibal Directive”’ [and its consequences] among his most important essays — ever — over the decades; a universal contribution to knowledge in the public interest; and to history and humanity. [& publishing these with audio option
Was Israel’s “Hannibal Directive” the real reason for mass casualties of its soldiers and civilians over the weekend?
This Hannibal Directive essentially is a standing order for IDF — as a last resort — to kill their fellow soldiers, come what may: to avoid their being taken alive, [& thus used as “bargaining chip” in prisoner swaps], irrespective of any and all collateral damage, be those Jewish settlers & soldiers, any Arabs in the way and massive property destruction and so on and so forth.
The New Yorker in 2014 wrote thus:
[[[While normal I.D.F. procedures forbid soldiers from firing in the general direction of their fellow-troops, including attacking a getaway vehicle, such procedures, according to the Hannibal Directive, are to be waived in the case of an abduction: “Everything must be done to stop the vehicle and prevent it from escaping.”
Although the order specifies that only selective light-arms fire should be used in such cases, the message behind it is resounding. When a soldier has been abducted, not only are all targets legitimate—including, as we saw over the weekend, ambulances—but it’s permissible, and even implicitly advisable, for soldiers to fire on their own. For more than a decade, military censors blocked journalists from reporting on the protocol, apparently because they feared it would demoralize the Israeli public.]]]
With western media now replete with its evidence free claims of Hamas barbarity over the weekend when their special military operation began — perhaps it would be wise to hear the Hamas version prior to righteously making such claims against Gazans. Especially since none of us were there.
According to The Cradle: [[[Hamas Deputy Head Aruri argued that after the fall of the (IDF) Gaza Division command, Hamas fighters initially took only soldiers as prisoners, but later armed civilians entered the scene, resulting in chaos.
“The Israeli army followed the Hannibal Directive in several places, which led to a high number of casualties,” he said.
The Hannibal Directive is an Israeli military policy which allows the army to use any means necessary in order to prevent the capture of an Israeli soldier, even if it means killing the soldier.]]]

The Cradle says this information is based on Aljazeera interview in Arabic with Hamas deputy political chief Saleh al-Aruri. https://www.aljazeera.net/news
The Cradle story says: [[[Salah al-Aruri, Deputy Head of Hamas’ Political Bureau, stated in an interview with Al-Jazeera on 12 October that Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel was aimed solely at soldiers and military installations as part of a pre-emptive attack against a planned Israeli assault on the organization.
Aruri stated that Hamas had received intelligence indicating that Israel intended to launch an assault after the Sukkot holiday, hence the decision for a “preemptive strike.” He added, “The military installations were taken down within three hours, even surprising us. Israel seeks to divert attention from its own misconduct.”
The military spokesman for Hamas, Abu Ubeida, said that during Hamas’ surprise attack on 7 October, the group fired 3,500 missiles and artillery shells that targeted the Gaza Division of the Israeli army alone, while attacking 10 additional Israeli military sites.
Hamas Deputy Head Aruri argued that after the fall of the Gaza Division command, Hamas fighters initially took only soldiers as prisoners, but later armed civilians entered the scene, resulting in chaos.]]]
It is worth deciphering and examining in detail whether IDF deployed Hannibal over the weekend.

Below from Mint Press News in 2015, titled “How The IDF Murder Captured Israeli Officers Under Hannibal Directive”: includes: [[[One of the more disturbing of many developments during last summer’s war was the serial use of the Hannibal Directive to authorize the murder of captured Israeli soldiers. While the precise wording remains secret, Hannibal is a formal military order which approves the use of massive force in the event that an Israeli soldier is captured in battle. There is dissension in Israel about the purpose of this extraordinary firepower. Reporters for the liberal Haaretz claim the mission is the kill the soldier so he cannot fall captive and become a pawn in a future prisoner exchange. That is the explanation most generally accepted in knowledgeable Israeli circles, including among journalists and analysts.]]]

But one may give credit where it is due: Piper made his incredibly insightful conclusions at a time the world knew very little about Israel's secret nuclear programme.
Piper’s proof it too hard to follow, at least for me.
Patrick Seale’s 2003 review in Nation mag. of Warren Bass’ “Support Any Friend: Kennedy’s Middle East and the Making of the U.S.-Israel Alliance” include focus on rise of USA military support for the Jewish State:
[[ Warren Bass seeks to establish that the foundations of the US-Israel alliance were laid by the Kennedy Administration. He even gives a precise date–August 19, 1962–for the start of the military relationship as we know it. On that day in Tel Aviv, Mike Feldman, the deputy White House counsel and Kennedy’s indefatigable contact man with Israel and American Jews, met secretly with David Ben-Gurion and Golda Meir and told them that “the President had determined that the Hawk missile should be made available to Israel.” The Israelis were ecstatic. The Kennedy decision destroyed the Eisenhower embargo on the sale of major weapons systems to Israel. “What began with the Hawk in 1962,” Bass writes, “has become one of the most expensive and extensive military relationships of the postwar era, with a price tag in the billions of dollars and diplomatic consequences to match.”
The Hawk sale is therefore the first pillar of Bass’s case for saying that Kennedy was the father of the US-Israel alliance. ]]
Seale does not agree with the Bass thesis, rather, saying it was Johnson’s actions in 1967 War & Kissinger’s exploitation of the 1970 Black September event. . . “From 1967 onward there was no stopping the extravagant blossoming of the US-Israel relationship. If Johnson had been the father of the alliance, Henry Kissinger was to be its sugar daddy.”

After offering to give Palestinians less rights than that envisioned in Lord Balfour’s 2 Nov. 1917 “Declaration” to Lord Rothschild, Bobby Jr. stepped in it big & bad a second time today, with this filth:
1] Regarding the Supreme Court banning affirmative action in higher ed — I know many Americans feel that purely race-based decisions are unfair. However, this feeling misses important context. The effects of racist policies going back centuries are now self-perpetuating (sic).
2] Affirmative action (sic) understands this and uses race-based policies to undo the effects of racist policies.
3] “Color-blind” admissions tend to favor those who are already in the circle of privilege. It favors those who grew up in affluent, educated (sic) households. Wouldn’t you like to invite in those who have been left out in the cold?
Regarding the Supreme Court banning affirmative action in higher ed — I know many Americans feel that purely race-based decisions are unfair. However, this feeling misses important context. The effects of racist policies going back centuries are now self-perpetuating.
— Robert F. Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) June 29, 2023
Either he didn’t read the decision, or took the liberty to be incoherent. Of note, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey — minutes after decision published online — issued an incoherent statement of her own, that included signatures from nearly all college and university presidents in this state [& numerous senior officials in her government]. I wonder how some of those sitting on boards of trustees feel, since none of them would have voted to authorize this political statement on their behalf by their college president — as none of them would have read 237 page decision including dissent. And I’d guess few signing it read this, either.
Completely absent in Healey’s political conspiracy-stunt are any working class people — regular citizens outside of formal organizations. At no point does she claim the decision is unconstitutional.
What is one to make of an entire state government apparatus licking boots of “the wealthiest and most powerful university in the world”?
The problem — and potential ethics violations of Massachusetts governor — in a nutshell is that: Supreme Court affirmed that institutional racism — as practiced by Harvard, etc., violates equal protection under the law, i.e., 14th Amendment to US Constitution in articular.
As a matter of law, the constitution designed to protect individuals against institutions [against tyranny], and their abuse of “the little guy” as it were. In other words, against tyranny of the institution and all its means and power, against the individual, veritably naked against Goliath/Institution.
Here in Massachusetts, the institution of our state government — instead of accepting the fact that this institutional racism was practiced by the wealthiest and most powerful university in the world — instead is doubling down to defend wealthy elites, at expense of the individual. This used to be antithetical to everyone who claimed membership in Democrat Party [of which I’m still a member]. This Party now uses an entire state government apparatus to swear by the institutionally racist policies and actions at Harvard. [In a similar manner, under Republican Governor Charles Baker, Massachusetts, with highest proportion of covid deaths in the world — and this happened in a state with largest medical industrial complex in the country; zero accountability, in other words, went hand and glove with public health failure after failure.]
The June 29, 2023 court decision stated that a big “risk is that race would be used not as a plus, but as a negative—to discriminate against those racial groups that were not the beneficiaries of the race-based preference. A university’s use of race, accordingly, could not occur in a manner that ‘unduly harm[ed] nonminority applicants.’”
“But we have permitted race-based admissions only within the confines of narrow restrictions. University programs must comply with strict scrutiny, they may never use race as a stereotype or negative, and—at some point—they must end. Respondents’ admissions systems—however
well intentioned and implemented in good faith—fail each of these criteria. They must therefore be invalidated under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment”.
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/20-1199_hgdj.pdf
Either Kennedy believes in the US Constitution or he does not. On one hand, we possess free expression, right to carry, that he vociferously supports; yet institutions may practice institutional racism, including his Harvard Alma Mater — despite its patent illegality under our constitution — according to him, our governor, and an assortment of political animals calling themselves college and university presidents.
This decision may return and/or focus the issues of class and social/economic status, as key determinant of ones place in the pecking order of society — and end the folly now practiced far and wide — especially at Massachusetts colleges and universities — of using race as the Trojan Horse ”’gold standard”’ ”’indicator”’ of class and social/economic status. If this decision can begin to do that, then it will have accomplished something in the public interest, and possible betterment of working class, working poor and destitute.
I am not so foolish to believe this country would ever elect someone from working class again; when men speak as charlatans, despite all their other excellent positions on issues, it is duty of patriotic Americans to call out their blatant dishonesty and deceptions, period. As a practical matter, Harvard has never been in the business of fostering democracy; it is in the business of exactly what Kennedy express in his unfortunate statement: create illusion they speak for the people. They don’t, they can’t and they don’t know how to assuming they ever wanted to. This is not amoral, rather, this is class warfare, and Supreme Court to their credit took a sledge hammer to this charlatanism ongoing for decades in higher ed. . . .Anytime status quo is institutionally upended in favor of working class against upper class, that is a good day, however rare that may be. . . .

Frankly, that's an extremely implausible scenario, and I'm rather surprised you seem to have fallen for it.
He recently appeared on Jimmy Dore to explain how Anthony Fauci became rich restarting the Pentagon’s bio-weapons research program via his NIH. After three lab leaks made news, President Obama ordered a halt, so Fauci secretly moved this research to China, which required sharing American bio-weapons secrets with Chinese scientists. One virus leaked out and killed millions of people, yet Fauci remains free as our highest paid government official.
I haven’t found anyone able to rationally and factually explain away the military [at least since 2019 forward] conducting this train-wreck.
From a different perspective, Sasha Latypova’s expertise in corporate compliance — and all that complicated minutiae — viz. drug company rules and procedures and laws — including what they were supposed to do vs. what they actually did — shows military operation in charge of covid response.
Her argument, analogous to: US declaring martial law, while simultaneously various [titular] civilian agencies went through the motions, giving appearance of non-martial law, and civilian ownership of process; that is to say, this was a deception, to pretend US Military not in charge of entire kit and boodle.
Warp Speed, as it were, sequel to Warped bio attacks?
This, organized by those whose gigantic failure was lack of foresight into myriad consequences: i.e., this didn’t go according “to plan.” [And thus, great domestic and western/NATO/EU wreckage.]
Assuming plan was to weaken China and Iran, for starters. . . .
A lot of spin we’ve seen post-2019 is direct consequence of this plan going off the rails, almost from its beginning. This spin however can’t dissolve what happened, nor why: truth has funny way of disinfecting spin and lies.
Perhaps most essential advice to such maniacs hatching and attempting to implement such perfidy is: without basic and also sophisticated knowledge of societies you seek to destroy, your plans by definition are dead on arrival. And thus myriad and catastrophic unintended consequences.

PS
I’m willing to [provisionally] believe the greatly and deservedly vilified Fauci was not driving the train; and was brought along for the ride, as he was useful in the pretend-game that civilians were in charge of covid response. Reading what Fauci says in peer-reviewed and other medical journal essays is not the same man pantomiming as politician, in front of cameras, and the like. One is a scientists; the other is a charlatan. Fauci played both roles in his decades-long career. He may have actually believed a universal vax would be public health panacea; and mRNA shots were safe and effective. The cognitive dissonance involves the fact MDs are trained to accept vaccine dogma — that they are effective and safe, even when they are neither one, nor the other, and both and neither — as a cardinal rule. As the “holy gospel” if you will. No one accepts this dogma greater than Fauci, and thousands of his sisters and brothers wearing the MD badge of honor. This is a fact and a social fact. Now, no longer in office, Fauci recently — in a scientific journal — acknowledged [once more]: age-old problems with vaccines, in particular influenza, too: they are rarely even 50% effective [irrespective of their safety]. This may sound like a long-winded way of explaining that the military — and not Fauci, nor the civilians in charge of medicine and public health — were following what amounted to military imperatives, period. That our civilian leaders are not in control of what Ike labeled our military-industrial complex is not new phenomena. Now there may be greater awareness that the top civilian leaders’, POTUS’, is/are not in control of MIC. Naming who is a start to any sort of accountability. . . and even if they are named, haven’t they been and aren’t they ‘above the law’? Time will tell.

CDC director during Trump presidency tells Congress SARS-CoV-2 infections occurred from September 2019
MARCH 8, 2023
WASHINGTON DC — Infections from what came to be called SARS-CoV-2 occurred from September 2019, Director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at the time, Robert Redfield, MD, told Congress during a hearing Wednesday.
Well, I watched a little of the video and the guy just seemed like an idiot, spouting off after having a couple of drinks. I'd be very skeptical about believing anything he says, and despite his fancy title, I really wonder how much he really knows about anything. Apparently, although he has a medical degree, his main recent role has been as a marketing consultant.
Somewhat OT:
On Thursday 26th January, Project Veritas published an edited video of Jordon Trishton Walker, Director, Worldwide R&D Strategic Operations and mRNA Scientific Planning at Pfizer, Inc., talking about the company’s research into “Directed Evolution” (aka “gain of function”) of Covid. The video is a bit disjointed, and jumps between research that Pfizer is doing and things that have not gone beyond discussion.
Sars CoV-2 was 1] man made; and 2] released into the wild. And, as I see it — thus was not, to be very specific: a ‘lab leak’.
Was its release into the wild on-purpose, by accident, other?
Obvious questions. . . released into the wild: By whom, why, when, how? etc. — these must be explicated. And did this occur on purpose or by accident or other, such as ignorance. . . what was the intent, here?
The Project Veritas succeeded: in this perhaps true [or false] information that Pfizer is or wants to create their own mutation so as to create matching vaccine to fight it.
PV interview outright failed, since the obvious question was to ask how the Pfizer-created mutation would be spread to people, so that the company could use this as Cash Cow. Absent this link, the entire interview, rendered meaningless.
Not asking this most important question is a limited hangout by definition. And/or not showing what this man said in response to that question if this was asked, ditto.

Non-scientist staff at WIV are not particularly well paid. A likely scenario for the release is -- A small group of building maintenance and security guards were stealing apparently healthy animals from the destruction queue. They then sold them at the Wuhan Wet Market. This could have been going on for months. The release occurred when they stole animals infected with FCS enhanced SARS2. This explains both the source "WIV" and the hot spot "Wet Market". One of the petty conspirators took a few animals to a place where they could easily be exchanged for cash. PEACE 😇
Obvious questions. . . released into the wild: By whom, why, when, how? etc. — these must be explicated. And did this occur on purpose or by accident or other, such as ignorance. . . what was the intent, here?

A month ago Shoigu stated: [“Our losses to date are 5,937 dead,” Shoigu revealed.]
And
[ “Initially, the Armed Forces of Ukraine amounted to between 201,000 and 202,000 people, and since then they have suffered losses of around 100,000, with 61,207 killed and 49,368 others wounded,”]

I live in a country where jackasses are quick to become international experts. They can’t and don’t understand their own country and that doesn’t prevent USA-ites from babbling about other societies, too.
Less than 1% of anyone in government, universities, organized media and bloggers have not even a most rudimentary understanding of Russian society, and it is closer to nil than to poor.
[The speed at which Putin annexed the four regions in Ukraine suggests that the real purpose of the action goes far beyond the expansion of Russia’s western border. The real reason Putin rushed through the measure was to fundamentally change the rules of engagement.]
How many National Security Council meetings has Whitney attended this year in the Russian Federation?
By the sounds of it, all of them.
Ditto the egghead: [[“The Russians are going to turn Ukraine into rubble.”]]
Here we are, a country that can’t yet get to first base on any accountability of the JFK, RFK and MLK murders. . . and like spoiled brats, with no attention span, worry about . . . and don’t even know they are pretending that they know about. . . Russia and Russians.
This sort of entertainment proliferates on sites like NFL.Com, predicting who might win, who might lose, blah blah blah.
A country that has no answers to any of our manifold problems, a population unable and/or unwilling to sacrifice to demand and enforce accountability from our lords and masters, and so we get cartoons and NFL.Com-esque commentary, on national affairs and international affairs.
Whatever one may think of Bismarck, his goal was create conditions for peace in Europe.
Same with Putin.
One avenue to create these conditions are national borders corresponding with a peoples right to self determination.
Western Elites are now resembling the Arab elites (created along with. . . with western-imposed “unnatural” borders on Arab lands): traitors to their own people, both.
Or more on point: Western Elites have always been traitors to their own people, and this deception and treason has only become less hidden — with this fact and social fact becoming less and less able to be hidden, now, with economic and social destruction — blooming like a huge mushroom cloud, now — and owing to the inherent contradictions of western social and economic policy at least since 19th century.
“The old America sees individual freedom as that which excludes any external prescription, any demand to use it only this way and no other, only for this and nothing else. ”
“New America, on the other hand, insists that freedom requires violence against those who do not understand it well enough. Which means that freedom must have a normative interpretation and it is up to the neo-liberals themselves to determine how and to whom they use it and how they interpret it. The old liberalism is libertarian. The new is blatantly totalitarian.”

The Probability may provide the odds of something, some event.
Defining the odds of something and proving something are not equal things.
And defining the odds of something is dependent on the model itself, and any assumptions on which it may rest.
For example, when the filthy beasts claimed mRNA vaccine 95% effective, circa Nov. 2020, it was known then by anyone at all familiar with VE, vaccine effectiveness, that that claim is chimera.
Now that the much hidden data actually shows more, many more, die who are vaxxed, v. non-vaxxed: we don’t hear the 95% VE fairy tails as much.
And after Dr. Birx’ recent mea culpa, . . . .
As for [[86% chance that COVID-19 “was developed during gain-of-function research AND was released by accident.”]] — this is gibberish on its face.
When probability of an unknown event [outcome], with a known binary outcome — in this case: zoonotic, directly from animal, versus, non-zoonotic — the odds exactly same as flipping a coin, and either head or tail landing face up.
That is, if we had zero information, the odds are 50% zoonotic and 50% non-zoonotic.
There are two odds at play in this example
1] “was developed during gain-of-function research”
2] “and was released by accident.”
Calculation of this probability require multiplying the two probabilities. The result is the probability of chance that COVID-19 “was developed during gain-of-function research AND was released by accident.”
The odds of 1] “was developed during gain-of-function research” can be gleaned by the fact odds of a zoonotic virus passing to humans and then magically becoming infectious via human to human transmission are exceedingly rare, practically zero, therefore
1] = 100%, or 1
2] “and was released by accident” remains unknown.
The UNZ theory says it was released on purpose by US government agents, likely with connivance of likes of Pompeo/Bolton, et al.
USMC Major Murphy does not say either way, only confirming it escaped Aug. 2019, [in the form of an aerosolized Bat Vaccine] and the GOF experiment was not halted until April 2020.
If UNZ is correct, then probability of “and was released by accident” = 0
This would render the heretofore [86% chance that COVID-19 “was developed during gain-of-function research and was released by accident”], if UNZ is correct, to instead read:
0% chance that COVID-19 “was developed during gain-of-function research AND was released by accident.”
Zero, because multiplying the two probabilities, 1 X 0 = zero.
Thus, this possible charlatan’s apparent claim of “86%” is way way way way off the mark.
One way to get to this “86%” is as follows:
100% probability gain of function research and 86% probability released by accident.
1 X 0.86 = 0.86 or 86%.
At minimum, there is 92.74% chance of both GOF and “released by accident”.
0.9273618. . . X 0.9273618… = 0.86 or 86%. And so this is what the [86% chance that COVID-19 “was developed during gain-of-function research and was released by accident”] statement translates to in mathematics.

Perhaps Sachs communicated with and/or read the August 2021 research by USMC Major Joseph Murphy.
As much as Ron Unz’ enlightening theory has been ignored, Murphy’s research, that this was a bat vaccine that escaped in Aug. 2020 from ECOHealth experiments — and these experiments were not halted until April 2021! — Murphy’s contribution even more “radioactive”. . . that is, even more ignored by Media Apostles.
Assuming fundamentals of both the Unz and Murphy are true: this is a volcano on top of a tsunami.
In addition, the “superset” of Murphy information allows for the “subset” of information in the Unz theory.
Senator Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, posted the Murphy information and there it sits.
A snippet from the Murphy memo to Marine Corps IG, 13 Aug. 2021:
It probably is. There is no doubt that Macron, Baerbock, Van Der Leyen, etc.. are, as individuals owned by the financial industry and the US Neo-Cons. But sanctioning Russia does not suit the interest of many big businesses in Europe, which would have lobbied their respective government against the sanctions, if not for fear of the Biden administration.
Is a more coherent EU in the interests of Russia or not?
Yes. Spot on.
Add fact that, after Zelensky assuming presidency, Trump, in 2019 — broadcast on national TV — told Zelensky to his face: work out your problems with Russia president.
“I really hope that you and President Putin get together and can solve your problem. That would be a tremendous achievement.”

Zelensky and his handlers of course ignored this advice. As he knew Trump was “not in charge” as it were — rather, “others were in charge,” as it were.
Trump, impeached for telling Zelensky to make peace with Russia. The rest is history.

Margaret Mitchell, Gone With the Wind [the Novel — and NOT the movie].
The rise of ISIL in Iraq, hardly at all understood in western world, and rise of KKK in 19th century US South — reading this novel and keeping in mind rise of ISIL in Iraq, similarities abound.
In both instances, Washington [and in Iraq, London’s] aim: destroy civilizations with brute force; and local responses to that, including rise of KKK, and ISIL.
Washington and Great Britain and the NATO/EU attempt to destroy Russia and its civilization, latest in a long line of this western hubris/destructions.
In this historical context, and 2022, it is clearer to more and more, despite the blinding purpose of the western propaganda viz. Ukraine, that Russia is hated simply because they are defending the actual enlightenment and actual Liberal principals — of the right to be free from [western] hegemony and tyranny, in the political, social AND economic sphere, and in terms of Religion and the Family.
Yet few outside the US South appreciate the actual Southern history and with the WOKE and Post Modernist anti-reality movements in US past two generations, it is basically considered almost treason to speak freely and clearly about our collective national history, viz. the South.
And so understanding in a fundamental way the Ukraine crisis is also blocked, on purpose, by enemies of the people, the western lords and masters [mega oligarchs] roaming the world in search of capital accumulation.
This particular form of “Liberalism”, a reification of Liberalism, which assigns to US/NATO/EU the ‘authority’ to define good and evil — has exhausted itself, Putin himself declared a few years back.
Yes it has. Replaced with myths and fairy tales, among them, NYT 1619.
This multi-century [western] hegemony no longer serves [did it ever?] as a project for the betterment of mankind.
As a footnote, it is my understanding that Russia calls this western ideology neo-nazi precisely because of the west arrogating to itself to be judge and jury of the world, and all this implies particularly related to the west picking and choosing the bad guys — based on a western-imposed conception of who are the ‘good’ guys and who are the ‘bad’ guys.
Since we’re all human beings first and foremost, this western project was always against the common man, for myriad reasons — of which Russia, now, is militarily challenging.
The contradictions in the west’s conception of itself now exposed for all the world to see, despite the western propaganda to pretend reality is not reality.
Essentially banning actual Southern history in our country was always a part of this propaganda, this effort to deceive, this grand deception, so as to keep us divided and prevent actual class consciousness, among other things.
Our country has been divided on purpose, based on lies and including falsifications of actual southern history.

No. Those supposed early Covid results have long been widely known and they're very obviously due to false-positives or other lab-errors as I discussed in one of my articles last year:
Since there is now apparent strong, new, medical evidence: that blood samples showing SARS-CoV-2 — from at least far back as September 2019 in France and Italy — means the Unz theory has to be called into question; and at least revamped in a manifold direction...Stanford’s Dr. Jay Bhattacharya recently commented on this development as well.
Can data and medical research from Italy be dismissed? indicating September 2019 SARS-CoV-2 circulation — “long before the first official reports from the Chinese authorities, casting new light on the onset and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
[Table 1 reports anti-SARS-CoV-2 RBD antibody detection according to the time of sample collection in Italy. In the first 2 months, September–October 2019, 23/162 (14.2%) patients in September and 27/166 (16.3%) in October displayed IgG or IgM antibodies, or both. The first positive sample (IgM-positive) was recorded on September 3 in the Veneto region, followed by a case in Emilia Romagna (September 4), a case in Liguria (September 5), two cases in Lombardy (Milano Province; September 9), and one in Lazio (Roma; September 11). By the end of September, 13 of the 23 (56.5%) positive samples were recorded in Lombardy, three in Veneto, two in Piedmont, and one each in Emilia Romagna, Liguria, Lazio, Campania, and Friuli. A similar time distribution was observed when considering Lombardy alone (Supplementary Table S2).]
Abstract states: “There are no robust data on the real onset of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and spread in the prepandemic period worldwide. We investigated the presence of SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD)–specific antibodies in blood samples of 959 asymptomatic individuals enrolled in a prospective lung cancer screening trial between September 2019 and March 2020 to track the date of onset, frequency, and temporal and geographic variations across the Italian regions. SARS-CoV-2 RBD-specific antibodies were detected in 111 of 959 (11.6%) individuals, starting from September 2019 (14%)”. . . .
The Italian medical experts stated: “Based on these findings, a prior unnoticed circulation of the virus among the Italian population could be hypothesized.”
They said: “The first surge of positive cases was identified in September–October 2019. Evaluation of anti–SARS-CoV-2 functional NAbs identified positive samples in CPE-based microneutralization tests already collected in October 2019. Given the temporal delay between infection and antibody synthesis, these results indicate that the virus circulated in Italy well before the detection of the declared index patient in February 2020. In addition, most of the first antibody-positive individuals lived in regions where the pandemic started.”
“To our knowledge, there are no published data on antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 in the prepandemic period in any countries in the world. Our study was carried out in a sample of asymptomatic individuals originating from all Italian regions.,” they said.
And: “Our results indicate that SARS-CoV-2 circulated in Italy earlier than the first official COVID-19 cases were diagnosed in Lombardy, even long before the first official reports from the Chinese authorities, casting new light on the onset and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Since there is now apparent strong, new, medical evidence: that blood samples showing SARS-CoV-2 — from at least far back as September 2019 in France and Italy — means the Unz theory has to be called into question; and at least revamped in a manifold direction.
The Unz theory is premised on release of SARS-CoV-2 during the China ‘mock military’ games. Sometime in October.
Stanford’s Dr. Jay Bhattacharya recently commented on this development as well.

The USMC Major Joseph Murphy thesis has been: an Eco-Health/Peter Dsazack $14M NIAID/Fauci granted project resulted in a live, unattenuated, Bat Vaccine — that escaped in August 2019; and its spike protein resulted in most of the harm–as this bat vaccine, so-called SARSd-CoV-WIV.
This program was not shut down until April 2020, for reasons I have yet to discover, according to the Major in leaked Project Veritas documents in possession of a US Senator.
Murphy reported this information in August 2021 to military Inspector General, in context of urging military “TO ABORT” mRNA vaxxing of the troops, which nonetheless occurred beginning last fall. The abort, due to the fact vac would not solve anything and only cause injury, harm and death, including playing havoc with women’s reproductive systems, heart disease, permanent disability, death, etc.
This live, unattenuated bat vaccines Ecohealth/Daszack had aerosolized; and the plans according to documents in possession of Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, included testing these aerozolized bat vaccines at bat caves in Wisconsin, California and China.
The documents do not specify where exactly live corona bat vaccines escape[s] happened, to best of my knowledge.
Make of it what you will.

No. Those supposed early Covid results have long been widely known and they're very obviously due to false-positives or other lab-errors as I discussed in one of my articles last year:
Since there is now apparent strong, new, medical evidence: that blood samples showing SARS-CoV-2 — from at least far back as September 2019 in France and Italy — means the Unz theory has to be called into question; and at least revamped in a manifold direction...Stanford’s Dr. Jay Bhattacharya recently commented on this development as well.
Ron’s research and doggedness is commendable.
The lack of any specific information — on how this was actually, physically, transmitted, etc. –, since OldMicroBiologist put the idea in his head, circa spring 2020, is among the theory’s greatest weakness at this time. I would like to see some meet on that bone, after 22 months of theorizing it was Pompeo and Bolton, and they didn’t tell Trump, and it was a bio weapon. I believe this could have happened: I want more details on how. I have been searching myself for information since I read the OldMBio post on The Saker Blog. It is an intriguing theory. That answers a lot of questions.
In addition, there is compelling information — also not seeing light of day — that this “virus” is essentially an EcoHealth/P.Dazack Live Bat Vaccine — that escaped, according to information from US Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin. And the Spike protein in the bat vaccine, as in the covid MRNA “vaccines” are what is killing people, injuring people and creating havoc in women’s reproductive system.
According Johnson’s information, a report from USMC Major Joseph Murphy, — he was involved at some level in the US intelligence agency’s “investigation” last year. . . . He claims information he has seen on the EcoHealth plan indicates the company sought to use aerosol spraying at bat caves in Wisconsin and California, to test and perfect the bat Vax, which was being manufactured at WIV.
His concern, in Aug. 2021 letter: that with Biden and SecDef Austin wanting to mandate vaccinating the troops — he wanted military inspector general to know the shots — the spike protein: injures and maims and kills the elderly; and that the spike protein in the covid vax — via spike protein — would do great damage to the health of the men and women in the armed services, and wanted the vax mandated to be halted; it went ahead.
I do not have adequate information to know one way or another if Murphy is more or less on point, and ditto Unz.
They both add much needed information to this . . . this volcano of accountability that may erupt sooner or later.
Murphy states: The purpose of the EcoHealth program. . . was to inoculate bats in the Yunnan, China caves. . . .The intent was to perform this task against humanized mice and then ‘batified’ mice. Instead, it was done with the world’s population. SARSr-CoV-WIV [sars cov-2]; vax is not meant to kill the bats, but to immunize them. This nature may explain its general harmlessness to most people, and its harmfulness to the old and comorbid, who are in general more susceptible to vaccine reactions.
He claims the live bat vaccine “escaped” August 2019; and that this Dazak program was not “shut down” until April 2020. He said it was known that Ivermetin and the cholorquines were known cures. In fact, this has been known for years, related to SARS and COVs.
Jennifer Van Laar writes at RedState.com: wrote about this, [[[So, according to Murphy, the US government identified ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and interferon as curatives for COVID-19 in April and May of 2020, yet pharmacists are still not filling prescriptions for them in January 2022? Why? Who made the decision to essentially sentence over 800,000 Americans to death?]]]

Another point of great interest that has also not gotten needed explication is this anomaly, as it were:
Prior to spring 2020, by and large, SARS CoV-2 — or what Murphy calls SARSr-CoV-WIV — Influenza Like Virus, ILI, was how the symptoms were being described.
ILI data is collected by the CDC; this data includes the ILI out-patient visits and total out-patient visits as well.
Comparing total outpatient visits:
40 weeks, March to Dec 2021 = 73.4 million
with
40 weeks, March to Dec 2018 = 39.6 million
Difference = 33.8 million.
In addition, this historical CDC data indicates:
1] all visits plummeted March 2020 when pandemic declared — right when, supposedly, care would be most needed — this data I think is quite interesting, for many reasons on this fact.
2] we may be in the longest “influenza season” in history, since July 2021 — since, from July 2021: ILI out-patient visits were in excess of most other years, during traditional flu season that is November through March, more or less.
3] by March 20, 2021, 80million in USA had been vaxxed; and doctor visits increased to all time high, of more then 2 million per week by year’s end.
According to an exchange during congressional hearing, March 11, 2020 —between Robert Ray Redfield Jr. a virologist and then-Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and Rep. Harley Rouda, D-California, [that in part discussed testing for influenza; and the [[now we know for sure the criminally unreliable]] of test kits viz. COVID-19. . . this is excerpt from that exchange between the men:
When racism in United States is properly understood as existing in a framework, precisely, as in a power equation: individual versus an institution, for example, a rational discussion of Harvard University’s Pyrrhic victory contra Asian Americans can be understood.
It is in this realm actual racism exist.
Institutional racism.
That is to say, racism emanates from the power center, for example, Harvard; and the institution’s action directly and concretely impact the individual, who is discriminated against.
Though it may not be obvious, neither Harvard nor judges hearing this case dispute any of this.
US Supreme Court, now sitting on this case precisely because lower courts obfuscated this essential, key, social fact.
Theoretically, no school is eligible for federal dollars who put their finger on the scale, as it were, to direct an outcome that would not otherwise have occurred.
This is at heart of the Asian Americans complaint against Harvard.
?Another reason, I suspect, Supreme Court is stepping in is obvious.
The social and political dimension being also obfuscated as — as scholarship — as educational imperative [that, alas, bear no relation to rational discourse]. For example, Amherst College President Biddy Martin hailed federal court decision upholding ‘race-conscious’ admission policy at Harvard University; she was not alone!
The decision by a federal district court judge in Boston upholding Harvard University’s “race-conscious” admissions policy was applauded all over academia — at the institutional level.
US District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs’ decision said that although Harvard’s policy is not perfect, they have done the right thing by refining their policy on an ongoing basis, for the stated goal of creating a diverse student body.
“Amherst [College] welcomes and applauds the decision in the Harvard University admissions lawsuit, which affirms the importance and constitutionality of race-conscious admissions as part of a holistic review of applicants to our colleges and universities,” Martin said in a statement posted on the school’s website.
On Amherst’s Facebook page, she added: “Our society depends for its well being on the identification and development of talent wherever it exists. It exists in every community and group.”
Burroughs’ 130 page opinion is mostly a review of the myriad evidence presented, including statistical data analyses.
Her three-page conclusion refers to the late Toni Morrisson.
“The wise and esteemed author Toni Morrison observed, ‘Race is the least reliable information you can have about someone. It’s real information, but it tells you next to nothing,’” Burroughs’ decision states.
Morrison was the Robert F. Goheen Chair in the Humanities at Princeton University until her retirement in 2006 — along with being a novelist whose works included “Tar Baby,” “God Help the Child,” and “The Bluest Eye,” she was an essayist and editor.
“The students who are admitted to Harvard and choose to attend will live and learn surrounded by all sorts of people, with all sorts of experiences, beliefs and talents. They will have the opportunity to know and understand one another beyond race, as whole individuals with unique histories and experiences,” the judge wrote, adding that this type of diversity “at Harvard and elsewhere that will move us, one day, to the point where we see that race is a fact, but not the defining fact and not the fact that tells us what is important, but we are not there yet. Until we are, race conscious admissions programs that survive strict scrutiny will have an important place in society and help ensure that colleges and universities can offer a diverse atmosphere that fosters learning.”
The lawsuit, filed in 2014 by Students for Fair Admission, Inc., alleged in their complaint that: “Today it is used to hide intentional discrimination against Asian Americans.”
The plaintiffs also alleged in their complaint that Harvard’s admissions policy, at one time in the past, “was created for the specific purpose of discriminating against Jewish applicants.”
To the question: [[[Does it force schools to throw out the entire admissions methodology they have used for more than a century?]]]
This statement assumes there has been a clear and rational methodology, which this essay elsewhere suggests has not been the case and is part of the problem.
The obviously obvious answer is US colleges and university must not discriminate, otherwise they are barred from our tax dollars. There is nothing complicated about this.
The program and activity at issue is the admissions programs themselves, and the discriminatory activity by human beings employed at the institution, to perpetuate institutional racism, period.
Social engineering activities by the institution itself, to obfuscate its institutional racism has been a great success. Whether or not the Supreme Court will see fit to correct errors of lower courts, that merrily legitimize this obfuscation, remain to be seen.

From March to June 2020, when Sars CoV2 first came to USA, infecting thousands, outpatient care visits plummeted.
A pandemic is declared in March 2020; tens of thousands become infected; outpatient care services steeply decline, when medical care is most needed.
Below is weekly CDC data showing weekly outpatient visits summed for all ages groups, Oct. 2019 to July 2020; and observe March 2020 and next several weeks. [There was no plan for outpatient care during this critical 90 days. There was no treatments recommended. And if a person got so sick needed hospital care, then and only then, when in many instances it was too late. This data demonstrates this horrible response.]
“We simply do not know at the present time how to design a vaccine that will be effective against HIV.”
At the time AIDS hit, circa 1980s, I was a community social worker with homeless and indigents, a clinician at mental health center, in Worcester, Mass.
More than anything, I recall stigma attached to homosexuals, primarily males.
And it was never clear what HIV connection to AIDS was, to me; yet they were constantly lumped.
Prior to RFK’s book, my understanding was there was no evidence HIV caused AIDS; and, that Fauci tried for 20 years to get a vaccine and couldn’t.
This was Fauci’s VACCINE FAILURE.
My understanding also was that it was assumed HIV caused AIDS, yet I could never find adequate demonstration of this.
That it was assumed to be this despite lack of evidence, to me, did not seem odd – in the direct sense that, during my college days, I was blessed as a student with two of the world’s leading Middle East experts. Including their scholarship on rise of, and consequences of, Zionism.
And thus my frame of reference was that it was “normal” in USA: that obvious, objective lies underpinned founding of the Jewish State of Israel; this modus operandi, part and parcel of big government and big media. That is: USA, most powerful agent of neo-empire; NYTimes, most powerful propagandists for this project, Zionism.
To this day American people, lied to on Zionism, Jewish State of Israel, etc.
What has been consequence of this in particular? Our tax dollars keeps rolling into “Judea and Samaria” as Begin liked to call it.
As important as the lying of Big Medicine in general and Fauci in particular, viz. HIV as causing AIDS, for me at least, seemed par for the course. As “normal” in this country, as it were.
Maddening, yes, and it is what it is.
Fauci’s HIV Vaccine Failure I thought was an indication of the fact that despite all that money and power and government-ascribed prestige, during this time: was an indication of USA as having wherewithal to recognize failure as failure. His search for holy grail ended in failure; yet this failure only grew in prestige; again, this is “normal” and yes maddening, in this country. [Ever the vaccine dogmatist, Fauci pushed and pushed and despite all the resources, this effort failed.]
The reason it failed is so obvious and barely needing mention: lack of evidence HIV causes AIDS. But, more on point: HIV [like, later, Sars CoV-2] proved an enigma — money and power and hubris could not buy a safe and effective vaccine.
Saying “the mainstream media has almost entirely shut its doors to any dissent on the issue [Fauci’s role in the HIV/AIDS calamity] and refuses to engage the critics, instead seeming to rely upon the blacklist and the boycott” is stating the perfectly obvious.
And as a practical matter: What is to be said, at this point about Fauci’s VACCINE FAILURE viz. HIV/AIDS? He became richer and more influential and more powerful than ever.
The official narrative will remain, as it remains — for USS Liberty, Zionism, and 911, for that matter, and so on and so forth.
What would upset the Western Neo-Empire most, now? Feel free to fill in the blanks.
Consider Russian Federation consistently states: Fully implement UNO Security Council Resolution 338. [/That refers to 242/]
http://unscr.com/en/resolutions/338
242 states, in part, in relevant part: “Withdrawal of Israel armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict”. This territory from October 1973 War includes the Syria Golan Heights.
Feel free to fill in the blanks.
Ron made a prediction: BigMedia/Tech would ignore the AIDS perfidy of Public Menace #1 Fauci, et al.
Ron actually said RFK set a trap for them, and to date, based on the Associated Press silliness and the lame, numerous unprofessional personal attacks on RFK in 3,500 floundering words — to date, BigTech/Media has not fallen into that trap.
They ain’t goin’ down THAT road — at least, n’yet.
And so logical inference: RFK nailed it on mass murder accompanying AIDS ‘research’ fiasco.
Counts of “death” “life threatening” and “permanent disability” adverse vaccine events, by year, reported to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, after vaccination, USA reports;
followed by the vaccine product — the three highest death count reports received — by year, by vaccine type or product, most recent ten years of data:
This is a wonderful essay, the history, good men gone but not forgotten.
The treatment of public intellectuals by those of the ilk of Bill O’Reilly, following Operation-911 Sept. 11, 2001, similar to Professor Cohen, post Ukraine Coup circa 2014.
I distinctly remember at the time, having observed treatment of Palestine and Palestinians in US Big Media; how, overnight, Russia all of a sudden was treated like Palestine and Palestinians, during and after “Maidan” to today.
Professor Cohen, as this essay elegantly and cogently describe, became a pariah, and lost his stature as leading public intellectual. At the time, I had a conversation with a US trained Russia expert teaching at university who speaks Russian. I asked their opinion on Cohen, and the response I got was dismal. And so, I wonder if this professor represented an extreme minority, minority, or instead attitude of many Russia experts in leading US universities. I also thought that this attitude indicative, perhaps: of how career and future prestige are more important to contemporary Russia experts, at expense of the advancement of knowledge. This is part of the “cancer” besetting contemporary Russia scholarship in USA, perhaps.
The take-down and dismantling of Professor Cohen, as insidious and self-defeating as it was, look like a walk in the park compared to the fate of a leading Palestinian academic, Sami al-Arian, following Operation-911.
Sami al-Arian, guilty of being a Palestinian, after years in jail, was deported to Turkey, with all charges against him dropped.
https://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/sami-al-arian-leaves-us-and-goes-to-turkey/2216534/
Cohen did not endure the amount of distorted persecution as al-Arian, but was essentially erased.
And now we are seeing this same erasure pattern vis a vis with targeting and censoring and silencing some of the greatest men and women in organized medicine and public health, with Operation-Corona-411-911
Another expert, and influential, the Russia Expert, Dimitri Simes, targeted by Mueller and his posse — Simes is now residing in Russia with no plans to return to USA.
The shameful treatment of Cohen, Al Arian, and actual medical and public health experts now related to the Corona operation, is what tyranny and totalitarianism look like.
PS
And let’s not forget Harry Elmer Barnes was expertly trained as sociologist [of which was professor at Smith College] and in anthropology; this training and his use of these skills went part and parcel with what motivated his monumental scholarly achievements in the humanities.
Among his core scholarly goals was “to give the general reader some understanding of the character of the age in which we live, against the background of previous social eras, and to suggest some of the lessons involved for use in solving the dilemmas which encompass us.” Perspective, a key ingredient in pursuit of knowledge. This from June 15, 1948, Barnes, preface to ‘HISTORICAL SOCIOLOGY: ITS ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT/ Theories of Social Evolution from Cave Life to Atomic Bombing’

This is not a Flu Hoaxer thread, and any such subsequent remarks will be trashed, along with anti-Vaxxer comments. However, given yours, I might as well repeat a perennial comment of mine addressing exactly this issue:
Fact : there’s no excess mortality in 2020. Millions have not died because of c19.
Replies: @anaccount, @Jim123, @Captain Morningwood
But here’s a listing of TOTAL American deaths from all causes over the last few years, taken directly from the CDC website:
2014: 2,626,418
2015: 2,712,630
2016: 2,744,248
2017: 2,813,503
2018: 2,839,205
2019: 2,854,838
2020: 3,384,426
You’ll notice that the numbers are fairly steady until 2020 when they suddenly jumped by well over 500,000.
If I didn’t know any better, I’d almost think that America had been struck by a dangerous disease epidemic that year.
It’s obviously just a matter of personal opinion whether an extra half-million deaths in 2020 is a big number or a small number…
This is accurate data according to CDC/Wonder, without doubt, at least as reported by CDC for:
2014: 2,626,418
2015: 2,712,630
2016: 2,744,248
The CDC Wonder data bank shows [see below] complete and final data through 2016.
Column #3 is “best” estimate of USA population for the year indicated in first column; second column, yearly deaths.
Column #4 is the public health-defined “Crude Rate” of deaths per 100,000, calculated by deaths for that year divided by total that year.
