CDC admits COVID-19 mandates and protocols a hoax
Chart from 2020
CDC finally admits COVID can be treated like the flu
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) quietly updated its federal COVID-19 guidelines to recommend treating the virus similarly to the flu, vindicating years of dissident opinion and undermining the original justification for drastically upending Americans’ lives in its name. …
Medical experts who spoke with WSJ framed the relaxed guidelines as a simple adaptation to changing circumstances, but a report released last month by a Florida grand jury found that the government’s more stringent measures earlier in the pandemic were never justified. It concluded that lockdowns did more harm than good, that masks were ineffective at stopping COVID transmission, that COVID was “statistically almost harmless” to children and most adults, and that it is “highly likely” that COVID hospitalization numbers were inflated.
Yet those who argued as much from 2020 through 2023 were maligned from the highest levels of government and media as purveyors of “medical misinformation” so dangerous it necessitated censoring on social media.
A large body of evidence has found that mass restrictions on personal and economic activity undertaken in 2020 and part of 2021 caused far more harm than good, in terms of personal freedom and economics as well as public health, and that lives could have been saved through far less burdensome methods, such as the promotion of established therapeutic drugs, narrower protections focused on those most at risk (such as the elderly and infirm), and increasing vitamin D intake. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch has called America’s COVID response measures as “the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country,” against which Congress, state legislatures, and courts alike were largely negligent to protect constitutional rights, personal liberty, and the rule of law.
Evidence has also shown that forcing Americans to wear face coverings in the presence of others was similarly ineffective, including the CDC’s own September 2020 admission that masks cannot be counted on to keep out COVID when spending 15 minutes or longer within six feet of someone. All told, more than 170 studies have found that masks have been ineffective at stopping COVID while instead being harmful, especially to children.
As for the COVID vaccines, which were developed and reviewed in a fraction of the time vaccines usually take under former President (and presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee) Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed initiative, the public health establishment’s aversion to considering them anything but “safe and effective” has not dulled concerns that persist thanks to a large body of evidence affirming they carry significant health risks.
At some point, the perpetrators will be tried for crimes against humanity. There will also be more lawsuits against all organizations that mandated injections and/or masking, and/or fired people for non-compliance. This is in addition to lawsuits brought by those injured or killed by the injections.
The Plutocratic Plan to Remake Colorado Elections
… critics fear that reforms like the ones pushed by Unite America are, in actuality, a path to possible plutocracy. Opponents say that under the guise of saving democracy, Unite America wants to mute the power of political parties altogether, and what that may leave is a playing field ostensibly open to all but in reality quickly dominated by the ultrarich. Lee Drutman, senior fellow at the left-of-center think tank New America, has argued that under open primaries, parties “become brands anybody can purchase for enough money.”
This article is limited hangout, because the same handful of financiers already control both the red and blue parties. Their so-called “candidates” follow their script. Banning private moneys from elections—more than just reversing the corporate Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision—would be a start; however, this would not change control of the red and blue parties, but it would make them irrelevant except to those who buy into the branding charade.
Venezuela’s Maduro Rejects Haiti Military Intervention at CELAC Summit
“We do not agree with a disguised invasion of any sort,” declared Maduro on Friday during a discussion about the ongoing security challenges facing Haiti. …
Haitian politics have been marked by instability since the US-backed coup against President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 2004 which was heavily denounced by then-Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. For his part, Henry has acted as de facto ruler since Moïse’s assassination and refused to call new elections.
As we have noted previously, the current US and UN policy towards Haiti is one of continued imperialism, colonialism, and racism.
Armed gangs attack seaport facility; Haiti extends state of emergency, curfew for a month
The order, an extension of a 72-hour state of emergency first enacted on Sunday, was issued by Finance Minister Michel Patrick Boisvert, who has been acting as prime minister while the country’s current head of government, Ariel Henry, remains unable to get back into Haiti. …
(Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres) said the U.N. has not yet received official notification from the Kenyan government about the deployment of the multinational mission. Kenya President William Ruto has publicly said that his country is ready to deploy its forces.
Apparently, the UN is going to deploy African mercenaries so it won’t be accused of racism.
Volodymyr Zelensky, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink agree to help rebuild Ukraine (2022)
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and BlackRock CEO Larry Fink agreed to work together on investments aimed at rebuilding the war-torn country after Russia’s invasion, Ukraine’s government said Wednesday.
Just a reminder that this agreement was reached 14 months ago. One of the objectives of starting a war with Russia, beginning with the US-backed coup d’état in 2014, is for the Anglo-Euro-American banking cartel to take corporate control over Ukraine’s rich agricultural resources and natural and human resources. The implementation of this plan is dependent on whether Russia decides to get rid of the neo-Nazis installed by the cartel in Kiev or just hold the line in the east.
Russian Armed Forces Continue to Push Ukrainian Troops Westward - Shoigu
"After Ukrainian fighters fled from the Avdeyevka strongpoint, the Russian group of troops did not allow them to gain a foothold on the Stepovoe-Lastochkyno-Severnoe line and continues to push the enemy westward," Shoigu told a meeting with senior military officials.
Macron explains ‘NATO troops in Ukraine’ remark
The French president has said his refusal to rule out such a deployment was merely aimed at “opening a debate”
Paris does not intend to send military personnel to Ukraine in the foreseeable future, French President Emmanuel Macron has stated a week after appearing to suggest otherwise. He also insisted that France is “not at war against the Russian people.”
The article does not mention all the pushback on Macron’s original remarks:
EU lines up to reject Macron's assertion
You may have read or heard about the freakout that ensued after Emmanuel Macron convened a summit of European leaders in Paris last week. At a press briefing afterward, the French president allowed that NATO may at some point send troops to Ukraine to join the fight against Russian military forces. …
Instantly came the vigorous objections. The Brits, the Spanish, the Italians, the Poles, the Slovakians, the Hungarians: They all said in so many words, “No way.” Even Jens Stoltenberg, NATO’s war-mongering sec-gen, objected to Macron’s assertion.
No one was more vehement on this point than Olaf Scholz. “What was agreed among ourselves and with each other from the very beginning also applies to the future,” saith the German chancellor, “namely that there will be no ground troops, no soldiers on Ukrainian soil sent there by European countries or NATO states.”
US and NATO Intensify Military Activities in the Arctic- Russia
“The U.S. and other NATO members, including non-Arctic states, are continuing to intensify military activities in the region,” (Nikolai Korchunov, ambassador-at-large for the Arctic Cooperation of the Russian Foreign Affairs Ministry) said during an international conference in Moscow.
He noted that NATO is increasing the scale and intensity of the military exercises that are being conducted in the region, adding that the alliance has embarked on a course "towards the militarization of the region."
NATO Drills Spark Tensions and Shake Global Stability- Russia
The large-scale war game going on in Europe is a way for NATO to rehearse "a scenario of armed confrontation with Russia," he said.
"The destructive role of the United States in recent history is evident. No other country has staged so many wars and military conflicts, or provoked so many economic crises," he added.
According to Patrushev, NATO has become "an important instrument of Washington's influence" as the alliance continues to expand toward Russia's western borders.
He also noted that the bloc has plans to further increase its presence in the Asia-Pacific and Arctic regions. …
The Steadfast Defender 2024 military drills began in January and are scheduled to run through May. With some 90,000 troops participating, it is the largest war game in Europe in decades.
Supreme Court rules Trump can’t be kicked off 2024 presidential ballot
The United States Supreme Court ruled Monday that former President Donald Trump cannot be removed from any state’s 2024 presidential ballot, reversing a decision made in Colorado to kick Trump off the ballot due to his alleged “insurrection” related to the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol storming.
“Because the Constitution makes Congress, rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates, we reverse,” the unanimous ruling states. “We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency.”
The nation’s top court issued the unsigned ruling with no dissents.
For those outside of the matrix and the red-blue political party marketing brand charade (both parties, the electronic voting and counting machines, and the media are owned by the same small group of financiers), this was a predictable outcome to the January 6th FBI sting (sold by the corporate media as an insurrection) designed to distract the masses from the 24/7 crimes by the financiers. There are videos that reveal FBI operatives orchestrating the event, and there are testimonials from ex-FBI agents verifying the agency’s role in planning the event.
The following is another reminder that the red and blue political parties are privately owned and select their candidates based on adherence to the financiers’ script:
Court Concedes DNC Had the Right to Rig Primaries Against Sanders (2017)
Elon Musk sues OpenAI and Altman for breaching firm’s founding mission
Elon Musk sued OpenAI and its Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman, alleging they violated the artificial intelligence startup’s founding mission by putting profit ahead of benefiting humanity.
The 52-year-old billionaire, who was a co-founder of OpenAI but is no longer involved, said in a lawsuit filed late Thursday in San Francisco that the company’s close relationship with Microsoft Corp. has undermined its original mission of creating open-source technology that wouldn’t be subject to corporate priorities.
Musk, who is also CEO of Tesla Inc., has been among the most outspoken about the dangers of AI and artificial general intelligence, or AGI. The release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT more than a year ago popularized advances in AI technology and raised concerns about the risks surrounding the race to develop AGI, where computers are as smart as an average human. Musk also owns the social network X and is raising money for an AI venture called xAI that features its own competing chatbot Grok.
Microsoft staffer warns regulators about harmful AI content
“While Microsoft is publicly marketing Copilot Designer as a safe AI product for use by everyone, including children of any age, internally the company is well aware of systemic issues where the product is creating harmful images that could be offensive and inappropriate for consumers,” (Shane) Jones wrote. “Microsoft Copilot Designer does not include the necessary product warnings or disclosures needed for consumers to be aware of these risks.”
In the letter to the FTC, Jones said Copilot Designer had a tendency to randomly generate an “inappropriate, sexually objectified image of a woman in some of the pictures it creates.” He also said the AI tool created “harmful content in a variety of other categories including: political bias, underaged drinking and drug use, misuse of corporate trademarks and copyrights, conspiracy theories, and religion to name a few.”
Contrary to popular understanding, AI content is dependent on who programs it and their objectives.
BlackRock/Vanguard-Owned Xcel Energy’s Involvement in Texas Wildfires
On Thursday, utility company Xcel Energy acknowledged that its equipment likely played a role in igniting the Smokehouse Creek fire.
This is the same pattern as most of the recent wildfires (California, Hawaii, etc.) that were started with directed energy weapons (DEW) and which then were blamed on the local utility. This strategy is used by the cartel to buy up valuable agricultural and commercial land at fire-sale prices, in line with the UN/WEF motto: “You will own nothing and be happy.”
CVS and Walgreens will start selling abortion pills this month
The news was first reported by The New York Times. It comes more than a year after both retail pharmacy chains, the nation’s two largest, said they would pursue certification from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to dispense the pill.
Mifepristone can be used in conjunction with another medication, misoprostol, to induce an abortion at home. A vast body of research shows it is safe and highly effective, particularly in the first trimester of pregnancy. Patients seeking mifepristone need a prescription from a medical provider. Misoprostol is already available in pharmacies for patients with a prescription.
