EUGENICS: The Secret Origins of AIDS, Facts, Fallacies & Conspiracy Theories – By Alan Cantwell, MD (Archive)
*

The history of AIDS has been deliberately whitewashed to conceal its man made origin – as a biological warfare agent – at the top secret Ft Dietrick facility in Maryland.

– “…As part of President Richard Nixon’s “War on Cancer,” genetic engineering of viruses became an integral part of the now largely forgotten Special Virus Cancer Program, conducted under the auspices of the NCI. Nixon also transferred part of the Army’s biological warfare unit at Fort Detrick, Maryland, over to the NCI, thereby allowing secret biowarfare experimentation to be carried out under cover of bona fide cancer research”:
(The Secret Origins of AIDS, Facts, Fallacies & Conspiracy Theories – By Alan Cantwell, MD)
In 2006 the AIDS epidemic was a quarter-century old. Officially starting in June 1981 as a mysterious and fatal disease exclusively found in several dozen young white gay men from New York City and Los Angeles, the disease has already killed 20 million people with 40 million more currently infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), widely accepted as the sole cause of AIDS…

Washington Slapdown: Turkey Turns to Moscow for Help

“Turkey is slowly leaving the Atlantic system.”
By Mike Whitney
“Turkey is slowly leaving the Atlantic system. That is the reason behind this coup. That is the reason why NATO is panicking. This is much broader and much bigger than Erdogan. This is a tectonic movement. This will affect Turkish-Syrian relations, Turkish-Chinese relations, Turkish-Russian relations and Turkish-Iranian relations. This will change the world.”
— Yunus Soner, Deputy Chairman Turkish Patriotic Party
“It is becoming clear that the attempted putsch was not just the work of a small clique of dissatisfied officers inside the armed forces; it was rather the product of a vast conspiracy to take over the Turkish state that was decades in the making and might well have succeeded.”
— Patrick Cockburn, CounterPunch

CIA Pays each Terrorist in Syria $1000*
Russian Presidential press secretary Alexei Gromov, in a press conference in Moscow revealed that majority of defecting Syrian army officers who escaped to the neighbouring Jordan, have been trained by CIA agents to be later infiltrate Syria again, through southern province of Suweida, hoping to reach Damascus countryside, opening the way to capture Capital Damascus, the golden apple.
Washington and London, added Mr. Gromov, which boast day and night that they fight with ISIS terrorists, have worked out plan B to overthrow democratically-elected Syrian government by paying each Child Soldier $1000 per month.
This armed rebel group has been blessed by Abu Marzouk, the notorious Turkey- based prominent opposition leader. According to Russian intelligence sources, CIA seeks to lure Syrian youth —via social media, e.g. FacaBook and Twitter— into joining this American-supervised militia by the promise of monthly $1000 salary.

America’s First Transit Riders Union
Massive fare increases coupled with deep service cuts have led Seattle bus riders to form the Seattle Transit Riders Union (TRU) – the first such union in the US. The group came together in 2011, after the 2008 economic downturn forced King County Metro to increase fares by 80%.
Since 2008, as steep decline in tax revenues has caused a major budget crisis for cities, states and across the US. Most have responded by slashing important public services, such as schools, libraries, clinics, road maintenance, street lighting, policing and public transportation.
In 2012, the TRU launched a campaign to pressure King County Council to adopt a reduced fare for low-income riders. The program, Orca Lift, was officially launched in March 2015.
Other significant TRU victories include
Increasing funding 33% for the Human Services Reduced Fare Bus Ticket Program (2014). This program allows social service organizations to purchase reduced fare bus tickets for the low income and homeless populations they serve.
Winning (in coalition with other activist groups) a $15 minimum wage for all Seattle residents (2014).
Passing (in coalition with other activist groups) two major ballot measures significantly improving public transportation funding (2014 and 2015).
Electing (in coalition with other activist groups), 3 out of 5 “Dream Team” progressive candidates to Seattle City Council (2015).
Seattle Transit Riders Union is a volunteer-run organization of poor and working people. Entirely funded by member dues and donations, it’s independent of any foundation, labor union or political party.
On July 26, 2016 they organized the Solidarity Summit on Affordable Transit at SEIU 775 in Seattle.
The presentations below are from the Summit. For more information, see their website at Transit Riders Union
“Market failure” and nuclear power
***
By Edward D. Kee
***
June 2016 was a bad month for the US nuclear power industry. In a single month, Exelon decided to retire its Clinton and Quad Cities nuclear plants; the Omaha Public Power District decided to retire Fort Calhoun; and PG&E decided not to pursue license renewal for Diablo Canyon.
The views expressed by former US Nuclear Regulatory Commission member Peter Bradford in a March 2013 Bulletin article, which described the situation facing the US nuclear power industry as grim, now seem restrained. Bradford predicted that “an abundance of natural gas, lower energy demand induced by the 2008 recession, increased energy-efficiency measures, nuclear’s rising cost estimates, and the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station” would result in trouble for the US nuclear power industry. “Here’s what the US government must do to bring about a gradual phase-out of almost all US nuclear power plants: absolutely nothing,” Bradford wrote.
He predicted that, without massive government assistance, new nuclear power projects would not be built and existing nuclear power plants would only operate until the end of their NRC licenses, meaning that the US nuclear fleet would largely be gone by the late 2050s. Since 2013, the factors listed in Bradford’s article have driven electricity market prices to low levels, resulting in the early retirement of operating units and stopping development of new nuclear power plants.

Turkish Lawmaker Calls for Closure of NATO’s Incirlik Air Base After Failed Coup
Sputnik | August 8, 2016 Deputy Chairman of the Center-Left Republican People’s Party (CHP) Namik Havutca argues that the base that stores 90 US tactical nuclear weapons “makes enemies of friendly countries and poses a threat to Turkey’s internal stability.”
In the wake of the failed attempt to overthrow the Erdogan government on July 15 and the ensuing purge that has led to over 18,000 military servicemen and judges being rounded up and imprisoned on charges of treason, yet another Turkish leader has stepped forward calling on the country to step back from its alliance with NATO forces who top Erdogan regime officials accuse of being complicit in the botched coup.

Communist Party Unites Behind Hillary

Go figure.
WASHINGTON – The Communist Party USA may not control many actual votes, but what they lack in support is made up for in enthusiasm.
That passion was in full display with a seven-person team of “reporters” covering their national political convention last month. And their
convention was the Democratic National Convention that nominated Hillary Rodham Clinton as theirundisputed candidate for president of the United States.
Exaggeration? Judge for yourself.

Greece: more and more anarchist refugee collectives displace state-run detention centres
*
*
While Greek authorities remain stalemated in their efforts to address the continuing flood of refugees, grassroots activists – anarchists – have yet again taken matters into their own hands and are providing shelter and food to those in need. However, this is not charity, or the result of a philanthropic endeavour, but direct democracy in practice.
While the world’s media is suitably distracted by the Olympic Games in Brazil, the war in Syria and beyond continues to see thousands of people – men, women and children – killed each week and many more atempting the perilous journey as refugees to seek safety. Meanwhile in the last two months there has been a deafening silience in the media about the plight of the thousands of refugees still stuck in Greece. Only 2500 refugees have so far been granted asylum status – the process is excruciatingly slow and most of those granted this status have yet to be relocated. A report by the Greek Centre for Disease Control recommended all 16 of the refugee detention centres it inspected be closed due to unsanitary conditions and poor water supply. But while the Greek authorities seem unable to move forward, grassroots activists – anarchists – have yet again taken matters…
