Novel Vaccine Technologies in Veterinary Medicine: A Herald to Human Medicine Vaccines
By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
The mRNA and adenoviral DNA COVID-19 vaccine debacle in humans has set populations on edge, distrustful of poorly conceived genetic technology. Meanwhile the field has advanced considerably in veterinary medicine. While these shots may protect animals from pathogens over the short term, what are the implications for our food supply? Any of the genetic material transmissible to humans through consumption? Raw or cooked? These and other questions are coming up as more information is being brought forward.
Aida and colleagues have graphically summarized the genetic technologies in use as of 2021 in veterinary medicine. In the consumer meat category at present, only swine are of concern given the use of plasmid DNA, replication incompetent viral vector, and RNA replicon products. Do these technologies cause noninfectious diseases in the animals? Can any of the genetic material survive denaturing during curing and cooking? How about pork intestines harvested for the production of heparin widely used in human medicine? It is conceivable that genetic incorporation of foreign RNA or DNA into humans and production of antigens for example, porcine endemic diarrhea or influenza A, could have untoward effects including autoimmunity similar to that with the COVID-19 vaccines?
Now is a good time for veterinary and human medicine including the FDA and USDA, to come together and review the published studies of these new products on genetic transmissibility to humans and its potential implications. The Aida paper does not even mention the possibility of collateral impact to humans. One can see that developers, sponsors, and authors are blinded with infatuation for molecular biology and have lost sight of biological product safety in the food supply.

A Noble Lie: Oklahoma City Bombing
FREE MIND FILMSVia Aletho News
This is a great documentary by Free Mind Films about the 1995 False Flag Event bombing in Oklahoma City. The government claims that 168 people were killed, including nineteen children. For years following the bombing, countless victims family members, survivors, rescuers, and ordinary Americans, have questioned the government’s conspiracy theory (aka the official story) about that fateful day. Hoping to shed light on answers long ignored and censored, both by prominent media outlets and the U.S. Government, A Noble Lie peels back what we thought we knew about the bombing and the perpetrators. This film exposes information never before examined or brought to the attention of the American public. A Noble Lie is the culmination of years of research and documentation conducted by independent journalists, scholars, and ordinary citizens. Often risking their personal safely and sanity, they have gathered evidence which threatens to expose the startling reality of what exactly occurred at 9:02 am on April 19, 1995 in Oklahoma City.
The Murrah building was bombed for three reasons, two having to do with records stored there and the destruction of those records, and overall to promote THE FAKE WAR ON TERROR. They were:
1) The first set of records were those concerning the Clinton’s and their CIA op’s in Mena, Arkansas which involved drug smuggling, gun running, and the whole Iran Contra affair.
2) The second set of records of greater concern had to do with the Anthrax vaccine and the use of depleted uranium weaponry, both which had many adverse effects on our troops which participated in Gulf War 1. These records were to be used in lawsuits against the federal government for what is known as Gulf War Syndrome.
3) The “official” definition of Terrorism had been changed in all dictionaries from GOVERNMENT BY INTIMIDATION to extremists fighting against democracy. The OKC bombing was setting the stage for their biggest “upcoming” False Flag Event which was 911. That event would be the Final Solution (along with the COVID-19 PLANdemic) in bringing forth the NEW WORLD ORDER agenda against mankind.

The Roman Conquest of Britain
Pre-Roman Celtic Tribes
Episode 7 Celtic Britain and Roman Britain
The Celtic World
Dr Jennifer Paxton (2018)
Film Review
Despite a large presence of La Tene style Celtic art in Britain, there is no evidence the Celts ever invaded the British Isles. To the contrary, archeological evidence suggests strong cultural continuity of the islands’ population from the beginning of the Iron Age to the Roman invasion.
Paxton asserts the Celticization of Britain occurred via diffusion, ie a gradual migration of a Celtic diaspora from western France and Spain to Britain.
Britain (especially Cornwall and Wales) were an important global source of tin, copper and iron from early in the Iron Age (1200-550 BC). Phoenician traders bought metals from Britain in the early first millennium BC.
Pre-Roman Britain was made up of numerous warring tribes. Those in the southeast had the best agricultural land and were the wealthiest. Those in the North and Southwest were well known for their hill forts.
During Julius Caesar’s two expeditions to Britain (55-53 BC), he persuaded a few of the southeastern tribes to pay tribute to Rome.
In 43 AD, the Roman emperor Claudius conquered the southern half of Britain, with the southeastern tribes happy to increase their wealth by collaborating with the Romans. He built two major Roman cities, Londinium and Eboracum (York), as well as numerous forts and roads.
During the 400-year Roman occupation, 40 urban areas (including Leeds, Newcastle and Exeter) adopted Latin as their primary language and (from the 3rd century AD) Christianity as their primary religion. All benefited from paved Roman roads, forums and amphitheaters. Wealthy southeasterners built large Roman villas and bought slaves to run them. The Romans introduced new fruits, such as apples, and coinage to Britain. The purpose of the coins was to enable a tax levy on all residents of Britain to fund (and pay) the garrisons who quashed rebellious tribes.
Paxton thinks it unlikely that either Latin or Christianity penetrated to rural Britain.
Numerous tribes, especially in Wales, Cornwall and the Northwest staged periodic rebellions against Roman rule (at one point burning Londinium and numerous other settlements to the ground). This led Rome to built large concentrations of heavily garrisoned forts in the most rebellious regions.
In 83 AD the emperor Agricula made an unsuccessful attempt to conquer Caledonia (modern day Scotland) and decided it wasn’t worth the number of troops that would be required for continuous occupation. Instead, in 122 AD, the emperor Hadrian built Hadrian’s wall to protect the southern half of Britain from raiding Picts.
The emperor Antonius subsequently built the Antonine Wall (through modern central Scotland) but was unable to defend it.
To archeologists, Britain is a treasure trove of Roman-style pottery, glassware and iron nails.

Russia says US government working on “universal” GMO bioweapon at Ukrainian biolabs that would cause MASS DEATH of humans, animals and crops
Russian lawmakers have completed an investigation into Washington’s military-related biological activities at laboratories across Ukraine on the basis of findings made public by Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops over the past year.
Washington is working on a “universal” genetically engineered bioweapon designed to cause severe damage to enemies comparable to that of a “nuclear winter,” a Russian parliamentary commission investigating US biolabs in Ukraine has concluded.
“The United States aims to develop a universal genetically engineered biological weapon capable of infecting not only people, but animals as well as agricultural crops. Its use involves, among other things, the goal of inflicting large-scale and irreparable economic damage on the enemy,” the commission wrote in its final report.
“The covert and targeted use of such a weapon in anticipation of a positive inevitable direct military confrontation could create a significant advantage for US forces over the adversary, even against those who possess other types of weapons of mass destruction,” the commission added. “The possession of such highly effective biological weapons creates, in the view of the US military, the real prerequisites to change the nature of contemporary armed conflicts.”
The commission report indicated that unfortunately, contemporary scientific advancements in the fields of genetic engineering, biotechnology, toxicology and synthetic biology have increased the possibility of their use to create advanced biological weapons agents of a new generation – at the same time that detecting and identifying their use using traditional diagnosis tools has become extremely difficult.
“The situation is aggravated by the fact that the production of such biological agents can easily be dispersed over various industrial enterprises, disguising them as products used for peaceful purposes,” the document noted.
The creation of new, ever more advanced biological agents doesn’t remove the dangers posed by traditional bioweapons, the report stressed. Among these are agents including “smallpox, anthrax, tularemia and the plague, all of which can be modified to enhance their deadly properties. Added to this is the objective difficulty in determining the true cause of outbreaks of infectious diseases, which can be both natural and artificial.”
US Bioweapons DangerThe Duma commission report cited the US bioweapons programs dotting the globe as the biggest clear and present danger to the biological security of both Russia and the world.
“The US military biological program has not only not been curtailed, but has acquired a large-scale character in recent years with a focus on offensive actions, carried out under the guise of activities which are permitted under the Biological Weapons Convention, as well as anti-terrorism projects. The United States is supporting and developing the ability to produce biological weapons and, if necessary, to use them. However, there have been changes in Washington’s strategic view with regard to the role of bioweapons in geopolitical competition, and the means of its possible use,” the report said.
US bioweapons programs are long term in nature, with their roots dating back to cruel experiments conducted on civilians and prisoners of war by Imperial Japan during the Second World War, including against citizens of the USSR.
“In our country, captured Japanese militarists were brought to justice within the framework of the Khabarovsk Process; however, in the US, such ‘specialists’ were provided safety, with their work factually continuing to live on to this day in the contemporary US programs on the development of biological weapons,” the report said.
According to the parliamentary commission, a key difference between traditional bioweapons programs and contemporary ones being pursued by the Pentagon is the propensity for the use of pathogens of little-studied natural infections with a high mortality rate, a long incubation period and symptoms typical of common diseases. This complicates adversaries’ ability to discover the use of such weapons, and to quickly identify the attacker, the report indicated.Among the biggest threats, according to the commission, is the military biological research based on work with the decoded human genome, which threatens to “radically” change the entire geopolitical and military situation in the world, and is comparable in significance to the start of the ‘atomic era’ in the 1940s and 1950s.
‘Key Role’ Played by SubcontractorsDrawing on evidence provided by the Russian military over the past year on US military biological activities in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, the Caucasus and countries in Africa and Asia, the commission pointed to the “key role” played by facilities abroad in the implementation of the Pentagon’s bioweapons programs.
“Washington is systematically creating an extensive network of biological laboratories beyond its national jurisdiction, allowing it to carry out a wide range of military-oriented biological research under the guise of medical biological projects,” the report stated. “This factually results in the ‘military-biological occupation’ of the entire planet, which opens to the US unrestricted access to information on the state of the health, microbiological and biological infrastructure of host countries.”
Foreign countries effectively serve as a ‘testing ground’ for US military biological researchers to study infectious agents in the climactic conditions of their habitat, to monitor their distribution and mutation, and determine the prospects for strengthening their dangerous properties,” the commission indicated. “The lack of international control over such work provides the United States the opportunity to act in other countries without being restrained by moral and legal norms and humanistic principles, and to ignore the demands of the public.”
These efforts are further hidden from public view via the transfer of programs to civilian ministries and private companies, the report stated.
The report pointed to the special attention US bioweapons research has committed to the transmission of pathogens which attack humans using insects, mammals and wild birds, including the study and identification of their migration routes.
“The results of this research provided American military biologists the ability to not only simulate the scenarios of the spread of epidemics in a particular region, but the opportunity to control them. They are also working out the ‘biological routes’ of the likely injection of atypical diseases through third countries to a territory of interest,” the commission said.
“The analysis of strategic US documents in the field of defense and security indicates that the activities in biolaboratories under their control are focused on providing potential military advantages to the US military and the waging of military operations using pathogenic microorganisms with desired properties created using synthetic biology,” the report said.
The commission believes the choice of countries where US bioweapons research infrastructure takes place is made on the basis of geopolitical considerations, and designed for scenarios in which host countries serve as a potential “bridgehead” against enemies in the event of conflicts.
This is particularly true in relation to US military biological activities in the post-Soviet space, the commission says, where their presence “allows the Pentagon to address a wide range of tasks: from the targeted collection of pathogens of especially dangerous infectious diseases and the study of of the reaction of immune systems of local populations to preparations of the territories of the former Soviet republics in the anti-epidemic sense for the deployment of large US military contingents there.
“The report considers the continued implementation of Pentagon biomilitary programs in the post-Soviet space a key security risk, given the free flow of people and goods across the region, including within the Eurasian Economic Community, the Commonwealth of Independent States or the Collective Security Treaty Organization, as well as labor migration, animal and bird migration, air flows and river flows.
[…]Sri Lanka’s Neoliberal Nightmare, Widespread Famine Triggered by Covid-19 Lockdown and an Unpayable External Debt
Global Research
First published on November 28, 2022
According to the World Food Programme (WFP), Sri Lanka faces a “serious food crisis,” with 6.3 million people—close to 30% of the 22 million population—being food insecure. Food inflation has reached a record-high of 90%, making staples such as rice unaffordable for millions of people. Overall, inflation is running at 60%.
“What we are really worried about now is the food crisis—we are looking at even the dangers of a famine in the near future,” says Ahilan Kadirgamar, a political economist and senior lecturer at the University of Jaffna, located in the capital city of the Northern province of Sri Lanka.
“Starvation is already hitting some sections of the population.”
Sri Lanka, which is very import-dependent, ran out of foreign exchange in April, leaving it unable to import food supplies, fuel, medicines and fertilizer. Buses, trains, ambulances and many cars cannot be driven and electricity power cuts have become common, crippling farming, fishing and factory production.
Sri Lanka defaulted on its $56 billion external debt in May, its first default. The country has obtained 16 loans from the International Monetary Fund and tried to obtained a 17th loan in May but was not able to come to an agreement.
Widespread public protests against President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s government drove him out of the country in July. Rajapaksa appointed political rival Ranil Wickremesinghe prime minister before leaving. Wickremesinghe then took over as president, swiftly cracking down on protests by tear-gassing and jailing dozens of demonstrators under draconian counterterrorism laws.
The immediate causes of the Sri Lankan crisis were the unsustainability of its $56 billion external debt when faced with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in a drop in tourism and migrant worker remittances from abroad, as well as tax cuts carried out by the Rajapaksa regime.
The pandemic disrupted supply chains for Sri Lanka’s main exports of textiles, garments and tea, resulting in reduced revenues.
Worker remittances, which were a major source of foreign exchange, hit a 10-year low in 2021, partly due to COVID-19.
Bomb blasts in 2019 in Colombo (Sri Lanka’s capital), along with COVID-19 both reduced tourism revenue, from $5 billion in 2018 to only $200 million in 2021. This compounded the pressures on Sri Lanka.
In 2019, the government implemented massive tax cuts, causing its revenue to plummet. The value-added tax was reduced from 15% to 8% and seven other taxes were eliminated. As a result, the state lost vital tax revenue from a million taxpayers.
Eighty-one per cent of Sri Lanka’s external debt is owed to Western financial institutions as well as Japan and India. The financial institutions are mainly commercial banks and vulture funds, namely: BlackRock, JP Morgan Chase, Prudential (all three U.S.), Ashmore Group, HSBC (both U.K.), Allianz (Germany), UBS (Switzerland). These corporations own 47% of Sri Lanka’s debt, the largest portion. The Asian Development Bank owns 13% of Sri Lanka’s debt, the World Bank 9%, Japan 10%, China 10% and India 2%.
There are, however, deeper reasons for Sri Lanka’s collapse. Kadirgamar blames colonialism, neocolonialism and neoliberalism:
“The economic trajectory for this crisis was set in 1977 by the Junius Jayewardene government, which subjected Sri Lanka to neoliberal reforms, liberalizing trade and finance,” Kadirgamar says. “But this trajectory has to be contextualized in the long history of colonialism and neocolonialism.”
Sri Lanka was first colonized by the Portuguese, then the Dutch and the British, amounting to almost 450 years of colonialism. Kadirgamar says this made the country’s economy dependent on what colonial powers wanted: the exports of commodities—first spices and then coffee and tea.
These exports were aimed at fulfilling the demands of the colonial powers’ markets. This colonial strategy was continued by the World Bank in Sri Lanka after the country’s independence in 1948. The World Bank advocated primary production for export markets, “as opposed to even minimal forms of industrialization, so that Sri Lanka became dependent on agricultural exports to Western markets with declining terms of trade,” Kadirgamar emphasizes.
“Sri Lanka was the first economy in South Asia to go through neoliberalism and we have now had four-and-a-half decades of this strategy, which includes paying for our huge import bill through external debt, which became unsustainable—especially because Sri Lanka was borrowing from Western capital markets at very high interest rates,” Kadirgamar says.
That focus made Sri Lanka particularly vulnerable to economic collapse.
“This heavy borrowing was not balanced by income because Sri Lanka had only four sources of this that were inadequate: agricultural and garment exports, tourism and remittances from migrant workers” Kadirgamar says. “Other factors, such as the COVID pandemic and the authoritarian Rajapaksa regime, (which) completely mismanaged the economy, contrib- uted to the collapse but the primary reason for this was the dependent character of Sri Lanka’s economy.”
Balasingham Skanthakumar agrees with Kadirgamar, emphasizing neoliberalism’s disastrous effects on Sri Lanka. He is a researcher and member of the editorial collective of Polity Magazine of the Social Scientists’ Association of Sri Lanka.
As Skanthakumar told me,
“Neoliberalism is an extension of historical processes of exploitation and domination of poor countries by rich countries, in so far as it entrenches the colonial division of labour through which Sri Lanka began cultivating tea (a non-Indigenous crop) as its primary export to satisfy the tastes of Western consumers.”
Today, Skanthakumar says, Sri Lanka’s main export is ready-made garments, which is a result of the neocolonialism through which labour-intensive, low-value added apparel is produced by women workers. Capital-intensive, high-value added manufactured goods are imported from abroad.
“There is no space within neoliberalism for Sri Lanka to diversify its economic base, to promote import-substitution, nor to prioritize self-sufficiency in basic foods and other essential needs including pharmaceuticals,” says Skanthakumar.
In other words, low-income countries in the Global South cannot win in the neoliberal system because their manufactured imports are always much costlier than their raw material exports, which are all that they are allowed to send by the dominant Western powers that control the global trading system.
The attempt by southern countries to bridge this gap by taking on increasing debt only primes them for economic collapse, which also now threatens Pakistan, Bangladesh, Argentina, South Africa and Zambia.
Thirty-six countries are in a state of “debt distress,” according to the World Bank.
But there is something different about this international crisis, as it has ensnared not just poor countries but the Western enforcers of neoliberalism and neo-colonialism as well. European countries face spiralling energy costs. For example, energy costs in Germany have increased by 860% in this year alone.
According to geopolitical analyst Drago Bosnic, writing on the Infobrics website,
“The European Union is going through a tremendously difficult economic and financial crisis. Sanctions aimed at Russia are wreaking havoc in many…Western economies.”
Ten million people face poverty in the United Kingdom as it experiences its “sharpest economic contraction” in 313 years, according to Reuters.
Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron has informed his compatriots that France is in a “series of crises, each more serious than the other” and warned of “the end of abundance and tough times ahead.”
“The collapse of Sri Lanka is not isolated,” says Sri Lankan writer Indrajit Samarajiva. “These are global trends going back to the 1980s. The broad logic is that if your economy is not productive and you don’t control your means of production, you’re in a debt trap—and sooner or later it will clang shut.

Court of Appeal to hear appeals on vaccine mandates in New Zealand this week
It seems that the government did not fully disclose all material facts to the Courts or to mandated workers.
This week the New Zealand Court of Appeal will hear two appeals relating to vaccine mandates. For the vast majority of the country life is now returning back to relative normality with only a few Covid-era rules remaining in place. However, for those affected by the mandates these cases are of critical importance.
More broadly, these vaccination mandates have set a precedent that could be applied by the government in other scenarios in the future.
[…]
This week’s first appeal is brought by teachers (NZTSOS) challenging Justice Cooke’s decision in NZDSOS Inc & NZTSOS Inc v Minister for Covid-19 Response, which was delivered in April of last year. The second appeal is by members of the New Zealand Defense Force who are contesting Justice Churchman’s decision in Four Members of the Armed Forces v Chief of Defense Forces, which was delivered in September.
For those who remember, the Defense Force (along with the Police) won their judicial review of their mandate in the Yardley decision delivered by Justice Cooke in February of last year. However, only weeks after that decision, the Chief of Defense Forces implemented a new internal mandate, which was unsuccessfully challenged in a second judicial review last September. This week, the appeal for this second NZDF decision is also being heard.
[…]
For the purpose of these judicial reviews, the Court assessed whether the decision to mandate vaccination was properly taken, including whether the government took all relevant factors into consideration. In addition, the Court considered whether the vaccine mandate was a justifiable limitation on the rights protected under the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act, including the right to refuse medical treatment.
By their very nature, these appeals are narrow, which usually means that the chances of success are slim. However, having read a fair amount of the publicly available paperwork, it seems clear that the Crown and its experts either overstated or omitted material facts that may have had an effect on the Court’s decision and undoubtedly would have had an impact on the informed consent process that workers undertook when deciding whether to comply with the relevant mandate order or not.
[…]
In NZTSOS, Cooke commented that, “the right in s11 [the right to refuse medical treatment] is well recognised in both legal and medical terms as being fundamental. It is associated not only with the concept of personal autonomy that is at the heart of the relationship between the state and the individual, but also the concept of informed consent that is deeply embedded in the principles of medical ethics and practice.”
Recognising that mandates by their nature reduce “the significance that is otherwise so strongly placed on informed consent”, Cooke concludes that, “What this means is that there is a very significant evidential burden placed on the Crown to demonstrate that the measures implemented by the Order are reasonable, and demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society”.
In this regard, there are questions as to whether the Crown fully disclosed all material facts to the Court in order to satisfy that “very significant evidential burden”. In particular, there are concerns relating to the affidavit of Dr Town who is the Chief Science Advisor at the Ministry of Health and the chair the COVID-19 Technical Advisory Group and the COVID-19 Vaccine Technical Advisory Group (CV-TAG) at the Ministry of Health. These groups, particularly CV TAG, provided technical advice to the government on Covid matters, including vaccine safety.
Issues of concernIn paragraph 17 of his affidavit, Dr Town states, “Medsafe will only recommend that a medicine is approved if it meets international and local standards ..”. Town omits to state that Medsafe did not recommend that vaccine be approved.In fact, in its final evaluation, Medsafe concluded, “Due to the unresolved concerns and additional quality, safety and efficacy data to be provided at the time of completion of the evaluation, Medsafe is unable to recommend that this product be granted consent. It is therefore recommended that the application be referred to the Medicines Assessment Advisory Committee (MAAC) under section 22(2) of the Medicines Act 1981 for their consideration.”Indeed on 28 January 2021, the Group Manager of Medsafe, Chris James, wrote to Pfizer Australia and advised it of his decision: “Having reviewed the information supplied in your initial application and in your further responses, I am not satisfied that I should give my consent to the distribution of the product.”On 3 February 2021, MAAC agreed to grant provisional approval for the vaccine and instructed Medsafe to notify Pfizer accordingly, stating that “you are therefore asked to sign the attached letter to the applicant company to advise them of the outcome of the MAAC recommendation.”Again, in paragraph 17 of his affidavit, Town states, “Medsafe will only recommend that a medicine is approved if it meets international and local standards”. In fact, the Pfizer vaccine was non-compliant with local requirements. This was specifically discussed at the pre-submission meeting between Pfizer and Medsafe in September 2020.The minutes of that meeting record Pfizer stating, “Sought comment on the issue of non-compliance with local requirements.” Medsafe responded, “Approval under s23 [provisional approval] does not allow for approval of non-compliant medicines unless an exemption has been granted in relation to non-compliance. We may need to consider requiring “Dear HCP” letters to address various aspects of the vaccine such as vaccine safety.”As a condition of provisional approval, Medsafe therefore required the issuance of a “Dear Healthcare Professional” letter to address the issue of non-compliance.In paragraph 18, Town states, “Medsafe has provisionally approved several COVID-19 vaccines for use in New Zealand. In granting provisional approval, data from clinical trials was considered in a risk-benefit matrix, and it was recommended that the benefits the vaccines provide from COVID-19 outweigh any risks.”In relation to the Pfizer vaccine this is clearly not an accurate statement. Medsafe’s benefit risk assessment was “the benefit risk balance of Comirnaty (COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine) for active immunisation to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals 16 years of age and older, is not clear.”Chris James, the Director of Medsafe gave a more accurate description in his affidavit in the Four Aviation case when he stated, “The clinical evaluation was that the benefit risk balance was not clear because of the data limitations.”Despite public health officials monitoring emerging real world data and studies relating to the safety profile of the vaccine, Medsafe’s benefit risk assessment has never been clearly articulated to the public.Additionally, neither Town nor Bloomfield clearly set out Medsafe’s formal assessment of the vaccine. Specifically, (a) that the duration of the vaccine protection had not been established beyond two months, (b) that there was limited evidence of protection against severe disease, (c) that there is no long term safety follow-up information and (d) vaccine prevention of asymptomatic infection and disease transmission has not been established..When discussing the myocarditis risk in young people, Dr Town stated in his affidavit that, “Those with a history of myocarditis may be offered the AstraZeneca vaccine which has a very low risk for those with a history of myocarditis.”However, Dr Town failed to advise the Court that he had, in his role as Chair of CV TAG, recommended to the government in a memo dated 21 July 2021 that they extend the dosing interval in the under 30s to at least 8 weeks to reduce the risk of myocarditis.[…]

Can RFJ Jr Defeat the Media?
Michael Barrett
Veterans Today
J. Michael Springmann and I opened this week’s False Flag Weekly News by plugging RFK Jr.’s newly-minted presidential campaign. We noted that he is going to have to run against the media, like Donald Trump did in 2016.
Running against the media in politics is like betting against the house in gambling: The odds are against you, to say the least. I know that from personal experience, having run for Congress on a 9/11 truth platform in 2008. But it isn’t just me: There are countless examples of campaigns whose outcomes were determined by the media’s slanted coverage. (To cite an extreme example, big media’s decision to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story likely prevented Donald Trump from being re-elected in 2020.)
The power of the mainstream media is such that almost no serious politicians—people whose goal is to win, not just to make a statement or call attention to neglected issues, as I did in my 2008 run—ever dare to take any positions or voice any sentiments outside of the media’s Overton Window of acceptability. The major exception to that rule, of course, is Donald Trump, who defeated the media in his 2016 run for president.
Trump’s method was deceptively simple: Keep saying outrageous things that the media won’t be able to resist deriding and deploring and generally calling attention to. Lo and behold, the hoary bromide “any publicity is good publicity” came true. Trump recognized that a yu-uge tranche of voters was angry and alienated and ready to support someone the Establishment obviously hated. And since he had a Twitter account at hand to tweet his side of the story, Trump wasn’t handicapped like pre-social-media politicians, who had depended almost entirely on corporate-owned one-to-many media to communicate with voters. What’s more, turning his rallies into countercultural festivals allowed him to speak directly to throngs of people. Between Twitter and the Trump rallies, it became obvious that the media’s most important way of suppressing outside-the-Overton-Window candidacies—fostering the impression that only a tiny, widely-hated minority of fringe conspiracy theorists would ever say or believe such things—wasn’t going to work.
Trump composed his triumphant 2016 electoral symphony in the key of invective, scapegoating, demonization, and hatred (or “righteous anger” if you prefer, though not all of it was righteous). His needling and insults, which included allusions to the alleged complicity of George W. Bush in 9/11 and Ted Cruz’s father in the JFK assassination, were refreshing to those of us who have discovered the almost unimaginable corruption of the American political establishment. And his harsh treatment of Hillary Clinton, who on October 9th 2016 was forced to debate Trump with three of her husband Bill’s sexual assault victims glaring at her from the audience, and who cannot have been pleased by the tens of thousands of people at Trump rallies chanting “lock her up,” may not have been chivalrous, but it was effective.
Trump did not keep his promises. He didn’t lock her up. And he didn’t drain the swamp—he stocked it. His administration offered no meaningful change, except for completely surrendering to the ultra-extremist Zionist agenda of Bibi Netanyahu. Trump failed to withdraw from Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan. He didn’t terminate NATO, but instead armed Ukraine to the teeth and set the stage for the current war on Russia. His administration nearly started World War III three times: once by bombing Syria, once by murdering Gen. Soleimani, and once by attacking Wuhan and Qom with the bioweapon known as COVID-19.
Though he failed to even attempt to dismantle the Establishment, Trump’s erratic words and behavior made him a destabilizing factor, so the consensus of the oligarchs was that he had to go.
To defeat Trump in 2020, the media and its oligarch owners had to go full-totalitarian. They began by spreading the lie that Trump had been elected because Russia had somehow taken over the internet. That provided the excuse the Establishment needed to impose a draconian regime of internet censorship that would have been unthinkable just a few years earlier. Then the COVID-19 pandemic was used to further stampede public opinion into tolerating the near-total destruction of meaningful internet freedom. In the wake of the 2020 election, a new, freedom-free information regime was erected over the smoldering ruins of the Trump Administration (and the First Amendment).
Trump’s entire project turned out to be suspiciously convenient for the oligarchy he supposedly hates. Thanks to Trump, they got what they want: More war, more wealth transfer from bottom-to-top, draconian internet censorship, and a hyperpolarized nation full of angry people fighting about things the oligarchy doesn’t really care about. As Sam Husseini keeps telling us, it sure looks like Trump is the opposable thumb of the Establishment.
So did Trump accomplish anything positive? Yes: He showed it’s possible to run against the media and win. Let’s hope and pray that lightning strikes twice, and that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can pull off the same trick.
How RFK Jr.’s Run Against the Media Will Differ from Trump’s
RFK Jr. enters the 2024 presidential race far more hated by the media than Donald Trump was at the beginning of his 2016 campaign. Before that campaign, Trump was cast as a relatively benign buffoon, a rich talk show host with a bloated ego who might add some entertainment value and boost ratings but who had no realistic chance of winning. The fact that the Establishment “misunderestimated” Trump allowed him to sneak up on them. By the time they knew what hit them, it was too late.
RFK Jr., unlike the pre-2016 Trump, is a known threat to the hyper-corrupt wing of the oligarchical Establishment. He carries the mythic Kennedy name, with all the baggage that implies. He has repeatedly made it clear that he knows the Establishment murdered his uncle and father to terminate/prevent their presidencies. There is absolutely no chance that he is going to sneak up on anybody.
Today’s communications environment, especially the internet, is not nearly as free as it was in 2016. The great majority of Democratic voters have been subjected to trauma-based mind control and accept the new COVID-era mantra “misinformation kills millions.” RFK Jr. has been endlessly and mendaciously slandered by the media as one of the “misinformation purveyors” who deserves to be censored because he is guilty of killing millions of innocent people. (In fact, RFK Jr.’s views on COVID and vaccine issues are quite moderate and in line with the best scientific evidence, but try telling that to a pack of hysterical witch-hunters.)
So compared to Trump in 2016, RFK Jr.’s 2024 run begins by finding itself behind the proverbial 8-ball. Just days after his announcement, the media has already ganged up on him. More and worse will surely follow.
So is there even a ghost of a chance that he could win? A superficial overview suggests it’s almost unthinkable. But allowing for the possibility of surprisingly rapid changes in public opinion—a phenomenon for which there is some precedent—I submit that RFK Jr. could conceivably pull off a miracle along the lines of what his uncle John nearly accomplished in 1963.
International research suggests masks better at causing ‘long COVID’ than stopping virus

Conclusion
This systematic review comprehensively revealed ample evidence for multiple adverse physio-metabolic and clinical outcomes of medical face masks, with worse outcomes in the case of N95 masks. This can have long-term clinical consequences, especially for vulnerable groups e.g., children, pregnant, older adult, and the ill. Besides transient and progressive hypoxemia, hypercarbia, and individualized clinical symptoms our findings are in line with reports on face masks caused down-stream aberrations (e.g., oxidative stress, hypercapnia, vasoconstriction, pro-inflammatory response, immunosuppression etc.) at the organ, cellular and microbiome levels and support the MIES (Mask Induced Exhaustion Syndrome). From our point of view, while a short application of the mask seems to be less harmful, longer and long-term use may cause shift toward the pathophysiological direction with clinical consequences even without exceeding physiological thresholds (O2 and CO2).
So far, several MIES symptoms may have been misinterpreted as long COVID-19 symptoms.
In any case, the possible MIES triggered by masks contrasts with the WHO definition of health.
The exact threshold of harmless and non-pathogenic time wearing a mask should exclusively be determined by further intensive research and studies. Due to the ultimate lack of exclusion of the harmfulness of mask wearing, mask use by the general public should be discouraged.
In the sense of effectiveness of face masks in the real-world setting (cost-benefit), the mask should show a benefit in terms of reduced respiratory infections, e.g., in healthcare through fewer consultations or hospitalizations (192). Unfortunately, this was not the case, e.g., in Germany (193) and USA (194), where mask mandates were ubiquitous (9). Additionally, there is evidence that COVID-19 rates have been able to expand swiftly when omicron hit (178) even in societies where mask use was assiduously followed—as in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore (179).
From the above facts, we conclude that a mask requirement must be reconsidered in a strictly scientific way without any political interference as well as from a humanitarian and ethical point of view. There is an urgent need to balance adverse mask effects with their anticipated efficacy against viral transmission. In the absence of strong empirical evidence of mask effectiveness, mask wearing should not be mandated let alone enforced by law.
CDC “behavior change” project targeting vaccine critics, funded by Pfizer and New York “Misinformation Response Unit”
By Didi Rankovic
Reclaim the Net
The benevolently named Public Good Projects (PGP) describes itself as a public health nonprofit with focus on “large-scale media monitoring programs, social and behavior change interventions.”
A new report is now shedding more light of how the system of censorship and deplatforming of Covid vaccine skeptics worked at the height of the pandemic, including the intricate ties between a number of actors, such as the PGP, and their partners.
One of them is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) non-profit called the CDC Foundation (the CDC itself was established by Congress). Other partners include FDA, Kaiser Permanente, Rockefeller, and Humana, as per the Tennessee Department of Health, which cites these as part of the bio of the PGP CEO, Dr. Joe Smyser.
And the Public Goods Project in the past received funding not from lobbyists for just any corporate players but those strongly interested in stomping out any vaccine hesitancy – namely, vaccine manufacturers like Pfizer and Moderna.
To add another “ingredient” into this “dish” that will appear unsavory to many, the New York City’s Health Department Misinformation Response Unit was also among those the PGP has in its portfolio of collaborations.
But things get more granular from there. The PGP operates an initiative called Shots Heard, while another one with a similar mission is called Team Halo and is the brainchild of the United Nations Verified initiative and the Vaccine Confidence Project.
An Epoch Times report details how in 2021, Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, a doctor who graduated from Stanford, was one of those caught in their crosshairs online.
Bowden’s “crime” was posting content on Twitter and TikTok skeptical of the vaccine, and at the same time positive of the use of ivermectin in Covid treatment.
This drew the attention and the ire of influencers on these platforms and YouTube, themselves doctors – such as Zachary Rubin and Christina Kim, members of Team Halo.
Bowden was called “problematic” in their posts, and they asked for her license to be revoked.
Only days after, in November 2021, Bowden learned from a Houston Chronicle journalist, rather than from the hospital itself, that she was getting suspended from Houston Methodist.
“Over the following months, Bowden’s life was thrown into chaos as multiple social media influencers targeted her. However, the most dogged was a pharmacist named Savannah, who posts under the handle @rxOrcist,” the article continued.
And “Savannah” – who is a member of Shots Heard – and posts to over a million followers, even managed to accuse Bowden of “xenophobia and racism” because she was talking about anti-ivermectin pharmacists, many of whom happened to be Asian.
The result was TikTok banning Bowden, YouTube suspending her, while suspected fake patients left negative reviews which the doctor is unable to get deleted. And there were even incidents in her office where security had to get involved.

Pentagon Leak: Disinfo Op to Expand Control of Internet & Get Rid of Biden
Ekaterina Blinova
The Pentagon “leak” could have been deliberately orchestrated to force the removal of US President Joe Biden and/or to expand the power of the US government to regulate anything posted on the Internet, Larry Johnson, retired CIA intelligence officer and ex-State Department official, told Sputnik.Twenty-one-year-old Airman 1st Class Jack Teixeira was arrested on Thursday over the much-discussed Pentagon “leaks”. He was charged with unauthorized retention and transmission of national defense information and unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents.
In an affidavit accompanying the charges, an FBI special agent revealed that Teixeira had security clearance for the highest level of classification, “top secret/sensitive compartmentalized information” (TS/SCI).
“It’s not normal. It’s not typical. It’s not easy, particularly for a member of the National Guard [to gain this level of clearance],” Larry Johnson, a veteran of the CIA and the State Department’s Office of Counter Terrorism, who provided training to the US Military’s Special Operations task force for 24 years, told Sputnik. “So, this is very unusual and strange. The thing that captures my attention is that the individual was part of the Air Force unit that’s involved with information warfare. At that age and at that low rank the possibilities that he would have unlimited access to highly classified material is just extremely unlikely.”
The trove of documents was initially released on the Discord platform, popular with gamers, weeks ago. Later, the alleged Pentagon files found their way to major social media platforms and eventually were picked by the US mainstream media.
Johnson believes that it was a controlled leak, even though initially the former CIA analyst had been inclined to think that the leaked documents were the work of a frustrated whistleblower. What struck Johnson was a document labeled “CIA Operations Center Intelligence Update” in the trove.
“The one document that did capture my attention as far as being highly unlikely that he would ever have access to it was the report from the CIA Operations Center,” Johnson explained. “That document is prepared for internal use only within the CIA. It’s not the kind of document that’s prepared and circulated within the other agencies that are considered part of the intelligence community.”
One might ask why the leak was needed. According to the CIA veteran, those who he claimed tricked Teixeira may have sought to kill several birds with one stone: to smear MAGA conservatives, justify new Internet restrictions and remove Joe Biden from the Oval Office.
Thus, Teixeira was immediately described as a right winger, as an anti-Semite, as a racist, a gun lover and a religious extremist: he “checks all the boxes” routinely smeared by the US mainstream press. As Johnson wittingly remarked in his blog earlier in the day, “the only thing lacking is that the fellow, Jack Texeira, was not wearing a MAGA cap.”
“There’s current legislation being proposed that would not only ban Tik-Tok, but would expand the power of the US government to regulate anything posted on the Internet,” So this could be an act designed to help create political support for that kind of authoritarian crackdown on information, a complete violation of the First Amendment.”
“Another possibility is that disclosure of these documents is designed to embarrass the Biden administration, ultimately forcing the removal of Joe Biden,” the CIA veteran suggested.Another thing that set alarm bells ringing for Johnson was Bellingcat, which is characterized by the former State Department official as “an Open Source Intelligence outfit that has been funded by US and British intelligence.”
It was Bellingcat that allegedly managed to trace the “leak” to a Discord server called “WowMao,” which seemed to have been sourced from the Thug Shaker Central channel.The story about “leaked Pentagon files” was also picked up by the New York Times and the Washington Post which are largely criticized for being in cahoots with the US federal government and its intelligence agencies.
“That’s why I think it’s a disinformation operation,” Johnson said. “Bellingcat has been funded by both MI6 and the CIA and has worked really as what they call an open source intelligence operation. And it has been used as an intelligence entity. And several of the reporters who were involved, both writing for The New York Times, had previously worked with Bellingcat.
The timing of this is just very unusual, that all of a sudden it’s just discovered and the documents that are being leaked are very precisely focused on Ukraine, the conflict with Ukraine and Russia’s activities in Ukraine.”The 21-year old appears to be more of a convenient scapegoat rather than a “hero”, according to Johnson.
The former CIA analyst does not rule out that Teixeira will be punished alone – akin to William Calley in the My Lai Massacre case – while his chain of command will be let off the hook.”I don’t think he had any clear purpose for what he was doing,” said the CIA veteran.
“And it’s not clear why he started doing this. And these things are getting posted to this gamer board. Ostensibly, again, that’s the story we’re being told. I don’t know what to believe anymore from the US government. The lies that have been told are so extensive and so massive. I just don’t know what to believe.”
Convenient Scapegoat.
They’re using him in this way. He was not working for some foreign intelligence service. He would not have been able just on his own to get access to those documents. I know how really difficult it is, even electronically, when you log into these systems to find some of that information and then to turn it off, then take it out and then decide to photograph and then post it. The story doesn’t add up.
“Touching upon the timing of the “leak” the CIA veteran suggested that “elements in the intelligence community” have eventually “recognized that the prospects for Ukraine in the war with Russia are bleak and hurting and getting more dismal by the day so that Russia is going to prevail and Ukraine is going to lose.”
“And that has really created some great consternation within elements of the intelligence community,” he concluded.
